v8 Chapter 21: The only way out

After the fall of Yingzhou, Youzhou Lulong Jiedu made the northernmost place of Tanzhou under the jurisdiction of Tanzhou, and the northernmost place of Tanzhou was the Great Wall Frontier.

After Qidan captured Yingzhou in the northeast of Lulong, the soldiers violated Pingzhou, and fierce fighting broke out with Lu Longjun in Yuguan. Both sides invested huge amounts of troops and have been fighting for several days. In this case, whether the fortress of Gubeikou can be held is particularly important.

Once the Gubeikou was captured and the Lulong defense line lost the support of the Great Wall, Tanzhou will inevitably be defended, and the war will spread directly to the territory of Youzhou, and even the Qidan soldiers will approach Youzhou City.

Unlike Yingzhou, a purely military frontier with no more than a thousand households, Youzhou has always been the center of the northern border. Since the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, many people have lived here, with more than ten counties under its jurisdiction, which is the true north. Xiongzhen.

"I heard that Pingzhou, Jizhou in the east, and Luzhou and Yunzhou in the west are now in trouble. We are stuck in the middle of Tanzhou, and we should be under more pressure. Why is it beyond this mark? Did you see a Khitan army? "

When the Gubeikou Pass was closed, the two dogs who had just changed their value were hippie smiles and worriedly asked the heads next to them.

"What do you know!"

Dutouqiu snorted coldly, "We are at the North Gate to catch the customs, and we don't know how many grassland barbarian corpses are buried. They easily dare to commit crimes. To tell you the truth, we have never defeated the grassland barbarians! That was also tied.

"In these years, Lu Longjun has been on his own. He never needed the support of the court, and the court did not support it. Now you don't have to panic. Although the grassland barbarian offensive is not small this time, I heard that the army of the court has already entered Youzhou border is coming soon. At that time, your boy will wait to cut off his head to report the battle. "

The scene of Dutou's education of recruits may not be much different. It is nothing more than bragging about the exaggerated combat history and achievements, which has caused the worship of the recruits and has continued to abide by the military regulations.

Maybe the recruits will be driven with awe and resentment.

If it were usual, such a scene would end with the admired eyes of the recruits, the high spirit of fighting, and the appearance of the nostril of the old soldier. But now, unlike in the past, the conversation between the two has not yet ended, and there is a serious one next to it. sound.

"The battle at Beikou will not be so simple. The attacker and the Pinger Prefecture were the Qidan North Yili Liye Lilie and the attacker of the Jizhou State. The state's prime minister is Xiao Hendu.

"These people are all the most powerful military generals in Khitan. Each of them is a hero, and it is a terrible existence on the grassland. It goes without saying. But the most daring and brave in the Khitan country is Yelu Abaoji's stern line of fine riding-abdominal center and Sijin.

"The abdomen's heart fell in Yankou outside Yunzhou, and was severely damaged by the Langfang Army. It had been damaged more than half, and let's not talk about it, but it hasn't shown up in the department. Isn't this strange?"

Hearing such a long story, all heads of cows and eggs just feel as big as buckets.

As a native of Tanzhou, he is also a guardian of Beikou. He has been here for more than ten years. Although his military position is not high, he was killed by a single shot on the battlefield. It is a true **** hero. generation.

But when it comes to the battlefield trend, strategy and tactics, he didn't know a basket of words, but he didn't think much.

If these words are spoken from the commander's mouth, even though the cow egg does not understand, it will feel very powerful; but if the words are a white-faced scholar with a green robe, it is another yard Something happened.

The bull egg looked at the man with a sarcasm and sneered, "You pedantic pedantic sages, apart from knowing that they are irresponsible and irresponsible, pointing themselves to the mountains and rivers, what can you do? Or you can pick a few Qidan scouts His head came back and asked what subordinates they had in Khitan?

"If you don't have this strength, don't play a good man's style here. The old cows don't eat this set! In the Central Plains war that year, Gao Ling did not support the king for three months, and the soldiers died. There are too many of you like you, only a Confucian with a big mouth! "

In the years when Confucian scholars did not stand, some words were justified and justified, but they were unexpectedly humiliated, and they were so ashamed that they were flushed with red ears, and couldn't say a word in half a ring.

However, he did not turn against each other, and did not even justify, but in the common despicable eyes of the veteran recruits, he lowered his head and gritted his teeth and walked away silently.

Confucian students are not alone in Gubeikou, and there are more than 30 people accompanying them. The purpose of their coming here is, of course, to support the Guancheng garrison and to resist the Khitan invasion in order to make a tribute to the country.

It's just that they are not to be seen.

Generally speaking, ordinary people admire scholars, and soldiers in the army are no exception, but if they are veterans on the battlefield and they are facing disciples who like to talk about things, they will come out of their inner resistance and disdain.

Because they knew that these people had no effect when the war came. Because they do not understand the war, their unsupported blood and the pedantic truth without real roots may also endanger the army and even kill soldiers.

"Your kid will stay away from these people in the future!"

After the Confucian student left, Niu Egg whispered to Ergouzi, "I think you like to talk to them very much. Don't be blinded by these guys who are all feces in their brains. On the battlefield, those The reasoning in the book is useless, the more you think about it, the faster you die.

"All you can believe is the sword in your hand and the robes beside you. The only thing you need to abide by is the military order!"

The two dogs, who have been brainwashed by the cow eggs, quickly agreed, and repeatedly guaranteed that they would definitely follow the figure of Dutou.

Niu Egg was very satisfied with Ergouzi ’s consciousness, and glanced at the scattered Confucians in Guancheng with a knife. He snorted and pouted, "I do n’t know what the commanders think, but they will allow these scholars to stay in Guancheng It should be dispersed, so as not to get in the way! "

Confucian student Zhang Zai returned to the barracks intently. He wanted to find a gentleman to complain about his grievances, ask for some comfort, and when he entered the door, he saw that Zhang Qi was holding a book and taking a sip of tea from time to time.

After listening to Zhang Zai's complaints, Zhang Qi raised his head and glanced at him lightly, disappointedly, "I want you to come to the border to make a contribution to the country, but you can't even make a fight with the soldiers. This is really When the war broke out, who would dare to use us? "

Zhang Zaihui said unfairly: "We came here without asking for anything, just to help them keep the city! But they don't know how to deal with it, and never look at us directly. Every word of humiliation comes down these days. The disciples are already suffering. If there were no teachers, we would have abandoned them! "

Zhang Qi put down the book, and said, "Abandon it? The temper is not small. Where can you go? Where is the world, where else can you go?"

Zhang Zai blushed and said, "It's not a big deal, just go back to the countryside to study or study!"

Zhang Qi's expression became cold, his eyes sharpened, "Go back to the country to study and study? Okay! You want your mother, wife, and children, facing the loess day after day, facing the sun, working hard to feed you? You are really motivated.

"What do you want to say? You also plant your own land? Will you? Even if you learn, look at the farmers. They have a few days of free time throughout the year? What do you study and study?"

Zhang Zai opened his mouth, and the reprimanded Nana was speechless.

Zhang Qi held up the tea bowl, put it to his mouth, but put it down again, sighed and looked at Zhang Qiyu's grave heart: "You have no retreat, no teacher, we in Yangzhou Rumen are even less. Look at the world in front of you. Chengping at home, the sea is clear, and the loss of land is gradually recovering.

"Ma Yin, who intended to make a mess, didn't even raise his banner, so he was in a different place; Liu Yin of Lingnan didn't even dare to have the courage to go against the Qingyi gate. In the heyday of the coming season, we won a place of stand-up cones, so that Guangzong Yaozu, blessing and descendants.

"Under such circumstances, if we do not advance against the current, we will become prosperous. We can only envy others' riches and salutes when we are lingering and suffering from poverty. Do you not even understand this?"

Zhang Zai's face changed, and eventually he could only teach himself.

Zhang Qi drank a bit of tea and saw that Zhang Zai hadn't left, he knew that his mind had not been fully opened, and said, "We Confucianists have always been princes and guests, and enjoy a lot of respect and respect. Now let you let it go. Low body, inevitably feel uncomfortable.

"But you have to understand that the Confucianists have nothing but the morale of battlefields and the management of civil affairs, and the latter has been controlled by the Confucianists of Qingzhou, and we cannot **** them. The only thing that can be used as a step forward is war. Morale together. If the soldiers do not recognize us, will they be encouraged by us when we are at war? "

Speaking of this, after seeing Zhang Zai's dissatisfaction, Zhang Qi opened the tea bowl and said, "From now on, if you don't drink this tea, change the bar.

"You preached the order. From now on, disciples of Confucianism will no longer be wearing blue shirts, they will be all in armor, and they will no longer be working alone.

"I heard all the commanders say that later he will send scouts to investigate the Khitan army. The journey will be fifty miles. The crisis is heavy. You will bring two disciples with you. Remember, you must follow the orders. If you meet the Khitan tour, Ride, the soldiers are not fully evacuated, you must not retreat, otherwise, the door rules will handle! "

Zhang Zai opened his mouth, stopped talking several times, and in the end, he could only choose to take the lead.

Looking at Zhang Zai when he went out, Zhang Qi's eyes were long and fascinating.

From this moment, there is no Yangzhou Confucianism.

There is only Confucianism in the army.

Focusing on cultivating Confucian generals who have both military and military skills, they can focus on the overall situation of war and fight in battle, as the core Confucianism in the army.

This is the direction and path that Zhang Qi chose for his disciples, and they could not help but struggle for this.

Zhang Qi has no other choice.

But he also knows that Li Yan must be happy to see this.

The army cannot be left to the sole discretion of the family. It is unavoidable that the soldiers will control the army. Even if Li Zhi is not worried, he will have to consider it for future emperors.

Let Rumen enter the army to take on a burden, and at the same time complete self-transformation, help the army to become stronger. It is a good choice in any way.
