In early April, the rain kept going.

But suddenly, the military camps around Nanyang became active, and even the soldiers who were playing tricks on the city wall during their vacation, as well as the officers who went to the east gate of Nanyang Prefecture to participate in the imperial "Nanyang Jiayuan" activity... The reason is very simple. The official family in the city suddenly left the city and came to the camp at the foot of Yushan to take charge. Then the order was issued, requiring the entire army of the imperial camp to gather.

Needless to say, everyone knows what happened. There must be a flaw in Xiangzhou to the south. Then the official family must fulfill the promise at the foot of Fangcheng Mountain that day and prepare to personally supervise the army in the rain to attack the rebel Fan Qiong.

Regarding this matter, the so-called central troops of the Imperial Camp, currently stationed in Nanyang, are naturally ready to fight, and they are eager to fight... If you don't know the morale of the army, I might think that the young Zhao Guan family is in a state of divine martial arts, just like the resurrection of Emperor Tang, and in just a few months, this Song army with complex origins has been trained into an iron army that dares to fight, and then everyone is willing to die for the official family?

And those who know it will naturally understand it. Isn’t this going to hit Fan Qiong?

It is one thing to fight the golden man. It is another thing to fight against the traitors who have changed their former colleagues. Everyone knows the truth. Who is afraid of whom?

Once you lose your fear, everyone in the army will naturally compete for the first place... The so-called soldiers want to seize, and the officers want to transfer two honors. Even the generals and officers of the Imperial Camp are also a little anxious. Everyone wants to take this opportunity to expand the troops in their headquarters.

It should be noted that the official's bias towards Han Wu is almost well known. Before, Ding from Huaixi and Zhai Chong's troops were all assigned to Han Shizhong's left army of the imperial camp, and the so-called central army of the imperial camp that had been following the official's own imperial camp, but he had never had any re-elected personnel at once.

And this time, no matter how he is, he will not come to steal people.

Not to mention, there are also the main generals of various tribes with special reasons, such as Wang De Wang Yasha who has always wanted to remove the sub-de-chief of the deputy governor on his body. Since the Xin brothers failed to fight in the Huai Shang battle, they have always wanted to show their performance.

"Brother, can you take some other way?"

The war is about to go to war tomorrow. The Imperial Camp at the foot of Yushan Mountain is almost covered by rain. In some dry military house, the two were sitting opposite each other on both sides of a few cases, but they were the Xin brothers. They looked at the two letters on the desk, frowned, and seemed a little nervous. After a while, the fourth brother Xin Yongzong just opened his brows with his brows. "What's the use of handing it on like this?"

"It's too late, and the drums are right away, and the last chance is the last chance." The boss Xin Xingzong sighed. "Not to mention, the people in the center are all too late to avoid us, so how can we help?"

"Yes." Xin Yongzong was depressed when he heard this. "Isn't it just a word for the official family? But why should the official family give us brothers face?"

"It's all that I have implicated our brothers." The so-called elder brother is like a father and younger brothers, Xin Xingzong couldn't help but look gloomy when he saw his younger brother's attitude. "Fortunately, the official family did not specifically reject him. We can always make a big fuss... I want me to tell you, and I will not fight if I can't compete for this pioneer. Now, our brothers are not as stable as possible."

When Xin Yongzong heard his brother's words, he wanted to speak but stopped. He was obviously a little unwilling to accept it, but he was restless and still couldn't say any wonderful strategies.

Correspondingly, when Xin Xingzong saw his younger brother so uneasy, he looked gloomy, but he had nothing to say.

By the way, it is no wonder that Xinxingzong and Xin Yongzong are so stunning.

It should be noted that the four Xin brothers, the eldest, Xin Xingzong, the second, Xin Qizong, the third, Xin Daozong, the fourth, Xin Yongzong, and a cousin, Xin Yanzong, are all five brothers, and they are all the most popular figures in recent years:

The eldest son, Xin Xingzong, was the one who competed with Han Shizhong for his achievements in the early days of Fang La. However, it was a bit too high to say that he was competing for success, because Xin Xingzong's official position at that time was much higher than Han Shizhong, and at most he was ignorant of merit... In fact, when he later attacked Liao, Xin Xingzong was simply on par with Zhong Shidao and became the commander of the Western Army.

Therefore, although the Three Kingdoms chaos broke out and this person had no record of war for several years and was repeatedly defeated, he also relied on his qualifications to control the Imperial Army and could not be lowered.

The second son, Xin Qizong, is now in Guanxi, and the situation is unknown, but before the situation is unknown, he was also in command of the army with four or five thousand people.

The third brother Xin Daozong was the only one among the brothers who tried to become civil servants. On the same day, Zhao Jiu ascended the throne in Shangqiu, and was appointed as the Jingzhao (Chang'an) criminal officer by Xingzai. It was blocked by the road and could not succeed (or failed to die). So he followed his elder brother and fourth brother to the southeast to prepare for his journey to Yangzhou at that time.

Later, because of the tight stake in Huai, Li Gang sent the three of his brothers back, but was named by Zhao Guanjia in Bagong Mountain. He also led his troops to Jingdong with Zhang Su, the commander of the two routes of Jingdong;

The fourth brother Xin Yongzong, whose trajectory is basically the same as that of the eldest brother, was also in charge of the first army at this time, but his troops were simply made by the eldest brother's troops in two;

As for the cousin Xin Yanzong of the four, it was not a shame. When Zhao Laojiu was still the Grand Marshal, he led his Bazhou soldiers to the Marshal's Mansion. At that time, he was the vanguard of the Marshal's Mansion. When fighting, it seemed to be stronger than the yamen of Xinyongzong, the yamen, but this time he stayed in the southeast and did not come back. A few days ago, Gong Xiang Li sent a document to him, and he was also organized together with the second generals of the Imperial Camp Rear Army, and became one of the main generals of the Imperial Camp Rear Army.

To be fair, these five brothers and five governors are better than the nine prefects of the Lin family in this special season, and they are really a Tianhu card... because the nine prefects have been successively served for decades, while the five governors of the Xin brothers are held at the same time.

In fact, before Bagong Mountain, there were four generals in the army, including Liu, Zhang and Han Xin. Liu was Liu Guangshi, Zhang was Zhang Jun, and Han Shizhong. These three were independent generals, but Xin refers to Xin Xingzong, who led a nest of brothers.

However, the hero does not mention his courage back then, but only says that the fate is a mess of people. Xin Xingzong, who is good at welcoming people, never expected that he would be snatched from the Holy Family by Han Wu... This is simply a mess of the world!

It's really a problem with Po Han Wu.

Not to mention the Xin brothers themselves, even those who feed horses in the imperial camp knew that the situation of the two brothers in the current situation was simply because of the three words Han Shizhong.

Putting aside the official family and Li Gang and Li Xianggong deliberately separated the brothers out of a well-known mentality. The two major blows encountered by the Xin brothers were actually at the foot of Bagong Mountain. One of them was that they failed to participate in the battle of Huaibei Prediction, thus completely becoming the representative of the second-rate troops in the Imperial Camp; the other was that during the reorganization, the extremely qualified Xin Xingzong stopped at the position of the commander and became the most popular one.

However, the planner of the Huaibei Battle was Han Shizhong himself, and I don’t know whether he was intentional or unintentional. Anyway, he did not have the provisions of these brothers in the office. As for the actions of the official family during the reorganization, it was just to give Han Shizhong a face... There was no way. At that time, he was going west, just the left army of the Imperial Camp and the Central Army of the Imperial Camp. According to the tradition of the Song army, the two sides had already conflicted with each other. If Xin Xingzong really emerged and used Han Wu’s domineering arrogance at that time, he would be able to secretly draw his sword when he turned around!

It is said that the official family is partial to Han Wu. The civil officials said that Zhang Jun also said that Wang De and Yesha would be nonsense when they drink. If they were not partial to Han Shizhong, he would have been like this long time... However, the civil officials felt that the private was partial to Han Shizhong, which was a dispute between civil and military affairs; Zhang Jun and Zhang Boying felt that the private was just a competition for favor among the winners; even Wang De, do you think he dares to mention a "individual" in front of the official family? It seems that Wang Yasha is not the one with the highest official rank in the Imperial Camp Army now.

In fact, the biggest victim caused by the official's private slander, Han Wu, is not someone else, but the Xin brothers. However, compared with Zhang Jun and Wang De, the Xin brothers now do not even have the ability to shout for justice...

"defense!"

Just as the Xin brothers were frowning and waiting for the sound of drums from the central army to ring, suddenly, someone outside the military residence spoke from afar. "Is Da Xin's defense there?"

The so-called defense means the defensive envoy.

A few days ago, several ministers from the accompanied the Ministry of Personnel sorted out various appointments before, and made a rough patch for the various messy assignments pointed out by the Zhao official family... For example, the Zhao official family was confused about the appointment of the other party, but did not even raise the position of the cabinet when they were appointed by the Ministry of Personnel. This time, at the suggestion of the Ministry of Personnel, he jumped from the direct scholar of the Longtu Pavilion to the Grand Secretary of the Zizheng Hall in one breath.

There were also Ma Shen, Liu Hongdao and others who also made up for various treatments. Li Gang even specially added the Jiedushi, becoming a strange existence for the generals.

Correspondingly, the commanders of the Imperial Camp Central Army unified the title of defense envoy in the position of the Lu Office.

As for Wang De's recent muttering and trying to advance to the commander-in-chief and the commander of the Four Walls of Nanyang, that's another matter.

Back in front of us, according to the titles of this day, the Xin brothers in the Imperial Camp are naturally defending Da Xin and Xiao Xin defending... But I don’t know what to call them if the five brothers gather together one day?

The three Taos are the best in the world? The four eternal unparalleled in the world?

"It's Hu Hongxiu." Xin Yongzong was excited when he heard the voice. "He is a rare scholar in the army, and he is also an idea, and he is very good at hand and eyes. Let's say it."

The elder brother Xin Xingzong shook his head repeatedly when he heard this, but he disagreed: "This person has an idea, but he is very idea. Moreover, he has been close and separated these days. Our brothers are in a situation now, so I am afraid that there is no way to let this person give him an idea."

But having said that, they have arrived outside the military house, and it is Jingkang who has been stolen by the serious scholars who have been chasing for more than a year with their brothers, and they are also a person with a "hands and eyes" while the Xin brothers are now lonely. How can they be neglected?

So, the two brothers actually went out to welcome each other and brought this mere "Baoyilang" Hu Hongxiu into the house... Baoyilang, exactly the same as the official body that Niu Gao had just obtained from General Cui of Luoyang a few days ago, was the fiftieth level of the 53rd rank of the military officer of the Song Dynasty, and was about twenty levels away from Yue Fei's Wujie doctor.

In history, Niu Gao was Yue Fei's deputy commander, while Hu Hongxiu was Yue Fei's chief of staff and a general of a certain army of the Yue family army.

Let me say that Hu Hongxiu is in his twenties, with a white face and a long body, a plump sky court, and a slender nose. If it weren't for the scar on his temples being slightly conspicuous and he was wearing a cowhide, he would have been a template for a good man outside Donghua Gate... In fact, this man was born in the Imperial Academy and only gave up his pen and joined the army at the time. Then he was responsible for the garrison of the city wall under Fan Qiong. Later, Fan Qiong turned aside, so he abandoned Fan Qiong and followed Xin Daozong and Xin Yongzong brothers who came from Hedong to Nanjing (Shangqiu) to find the Grand Marshal's Mansion from Hedong to Nanjing (Shangqiu), so here.

When this man came in, he sat down casually, just looked at the letters on the shore slightly, and then heard Xin Yongzong say urgently, he twisted the rain on his sleeve and shook his head and laughed:

"The two are really in a different direction, looking for fish by the tree..."

Upon hearing this, the Xin brothers, both the fourth brother who was looking forward to it or the boss who was already a little disappointed, but still looked forward to it, all fell down.

However, Hu Hongxiu ignored the expressions of the two. He wrung his sleeves, tied up his straps again, and then calmly continued to speak slowly:

"According to the officials, there are two big mistakes in the defense this time. One is that you don't know how to advance or retreat..."

After hearing the last two words, Xin Yongzong instinctively wanted to refute it, but Xin Xingzong himself moved his heart and directly pressed down his brother. Computer terminal::/

"The Grand Marshal Han established a festival and was responsible for the military affairs of Huaixi. Anyone who gave rewards and honors here in Nanyang Prefecture must be the Grand Marshal Han ranked first; those who gave the grandsons must also bring the Grand Marshal Han as the first; those who gave the close ministers, no matter how far they were, they must have a Grand Marshal Han... Not only that, I heard that since the officials gave the jade belt, even after half a year, even though Nanyang and the southeast had tribute, they had never tied up their jade belts in public. Even the last Fangchengshan Dynasty was just a golden belt..."

At this point, Hu Hongxiu, who was sitting on the stool, smiled slightly, and then looked at Xin Xingzong, who had already turned pale: "Dare you dare to ask about defense, can you easily shake such favor and value? And based on the grudge between Defense and Taiwei Han, how can you stand up if he is there?"

"Then what should I do?" In a trance, Xin Xingzong almost blurted out.

"How can it be?" Hu Hongxiu laughed for a moment. "Defense, thank you, the official said bluntly, if you don't want to surrender the Jin people, and don't want to end up like this with Fan Qiong, you are just still nostalgic for the wealth of the Song Dynasty... Of course, I'm afraid that this is the case... but there is only one way, that is, take the initiative to retreat. Once you retreat, the other Xin governors will suddenly become clear and be able to move forward."

Xiao Xin Defense was furious when he heard this. However, Xin Xingzong himself sighed: "Actually, I have thought of this layer for a long time, but no one has sorted it out with me. Thank you Mr. Hu for reminding me."

"It's okay, I want to say that with this time, the seventh army in the Imperial Camp, plus the imperial front troupe, there are eight places in total. Everyone must want to be a vanguard, but there must be another one here in Nanyang, which is something that everyone avoids. Why not talk to the officials in person, just say that the old wounds are hard to endure in the rain. Please stay and ask to guard Wuguan after the war..."

"I understand what Mr. Hu means," Xin Xingzong was instantly excited. "I will do this, and then the fourth brother will ask him to be the pioneer again, and he will most likely be the first!"

The fourth brother Xin Yongzong was by his side and was also happy, but he immediately got up and poured a bowl of ginger soup for Hu Hongxiu.

Hu Hongxiu was not pretentious, took a bowl and drank it all, wiped his mouth, and continued to shake his head and smiled: "This is one of the two major mistakes in defense just now, and it is also the fundamental reason why Xia Guan came to find the two of them this time... In this battle, if you want to seek military achievements, how can you compete for a pioneer? To be a pioneer, you are destined to be a completely different person, just seeking fish from a tree!"

Before the elder brother could speak, the fourth brother Xin Yongzong took a horse stool and sat beside Hu Hongxiu. He learned the handshake power that was popular in Nanyang recently, and took someone's hand and asked sincerely:

"I would like to ask Brother Hu to show us a clear way for our brothers to be together for a year of wandering together!"

"I was going to say it." Hu Hongxiu calmly pulled back his hand. "Little defense, please ask you, if you have won the vanguard, where will you fight?"

"Of course, we went south along the Baihe River (Liushui), breaking Dengcheng and taking Xiangyang!"

"Dengcheng is so easy to break?" Hu Hongxiu suddenly asked seriously. "Xiangyang is so easy to get?"

"It won't be too difficult, right?" Xiao Xin's defense was obviously puzzled. "Well, Fan Qiong still has a way out today?"

"It will take some time." Xin Xingzong, the boss next to him, was more experienced. "The official did not pardon the soldiers who surrendered to the Jin Dynasty, but Fan Qiong took the opportunity to pile the soldiers who surrendered to Dengcheng north of the Han River and gathered his troops to Xiangyang. In other words, Dengcheng's troops had not been pardoned, and this military force would probably resist for a few days, and it would scatter after seeing blood, which would always delay for a while. As for Xiangyang..."

"So what about Xiangyang?" Xin Yongzong was still puzzled.

"Isn't it raining?" Xin Xingzong sighed. "If you want to break Xiangyang, you must first break Dengcheng and then cross the Han River. However, how difficult it is to cross the water in rainy days? Not to mention that the water will definitely rise when you cross the river. No matter how bad Fan Qiong is, he has guarded Tokyo City... The ferry must be his most elite and reliable one."

Hearing this, Xin Yongzong looked at Hu Hongxiu again.

Hu Hongxiu did not cover up, but directly offered advice: "Xiao Xin's defense can ask himself to be a side teacher, go out to the upper Niushou Town, attack the monk Zongyin, then cross the river from there, and then rush to the city of Xiangyang from the south bank!" ::

The Xin brothers looked at each other. The fourth brother Xin Yongzong was obviously asking for help because he did not understand the benefits of this plan. Xin Xingzong was silent for a while and said in awkwardly: "Xiao Hu, I must not understand the key to this strategy... Although there are few soldiers in Niushou Town, the Zongyin monk who led the troops there has not been absolutely pardoned by the imperial edict, let alone crossing the river and raiding the famous Xiangyang city where thousands of troops were stationed. My brother was one of the commanders and ruled 1,500 people. If one is not good, wouldn't it be that the entire army would be wiped out?"

Hu Hongxiu was extremely helpless and could only explain: "Two defenses, let me ask you two more questions. Monk Zongyin has not been pardoned, but has he been reduced to the gold medal and was not allowed to pardon? At this time, the rain was so rapid, but the official family insisted on moving troops at this time. Is the official family crazy about being crazy, or is the many generals who join the army beside the official family, and are all confused?"

"You mean..." Xin Xingzong was silent for a moment, and then spoke a little hard. "Monkey Zongyin must be a soft-boy waste. We can deceive him, promise his life, and lure him to surrender; and there must be a major change in Xiangyang City?"

"Otherwise?" Hu Hongxiu saw that Da Xin had already figured it out but hesitated, while Xiao Xin was still confused and was extremely disappointed, so he couldn't help but face him coldly.

However, what a person Xin Xingzong is? This is the Western Army general who rose from Tong Guan. It is hard to say anything else. At least he is very good at observing his expression. Seeing Hu Hongxiu's face worsens, he sighed:

"Mr. Hu, I must know what you mean and what you say is excellent, but although our brothers are not at the end of the road, they are still in danger... Let me ask you a few questions and then make a decision, how about it?"

"Please talk about defense." Although Hu Hongxiu was puzzled, he was still open-minded.

"Be the first one, Mr. Hu, you have been in our brother's tent for a year. Everyone knows that you regard Jingkang as a shame for your whole life and will never forget it. However, if you want to do things, you must have a seat first." Xin Xingzong sighed with his hands in the military house. "You are a Tai student, have a vast friendship, and have experienced the military battlefield. Your father-in-law Wang Shuzhan is the Minister of Taichang Temple. Your wife and brother-in-law Wang Ruohai was recently elected as the close servant of the official family. Your wife and sister were even the daughter-in-law of the emperor's uncle Zhao Shi?. This emperor's uncle had the merit of supporting him in Nanjing that day... In other words, if you want a seat, you can always jump up, but a few months ago, you came back from the southeast and saw so many people around you, why don't you, the person who wants to do things, move?"

Hu Hongxiu suddenly laughed again: "Defense another question must be to ask, why did he suddenly learn from the frog and jump with the rain? And there are people everywhere, so why don't I go to find my own Mount Tai, but instead come to the army to find two down-and-out generals?"

“That’s right!”

"Then I'll say it bluntly." Hu Hongxiu sighed. "I am the closest friends of Chen Dong and I. In the southeast that day, I heard that the official exiled Huang Qianshan and gave Chen Dongping a reputation, but I was always resentful. I hated Wang Boyan for not being demoted, and I also wondered whether the official had really changed his appearance... I couldn't get over this knot in my heart, so how could I be willing to seek an official?"

"So that's it." Xin Xingzong suddenly realized. "Yes, you are all famous figures in the Jingkang Middle School. How can you not get to know each other? But I never thought of it."

"Do you think about it? People are resurrected by death." Hu Hongxiu sighed. "And these days, from Bagong Mountain to Caizhou and then to Nanyang, although he is still resentful of Wang Boyan, he saw that the center has some cheering up, and the officials seem to be really doing things, not just saying anything. When I was in Nanjing on the same day, I was nervous, but I still couldn't help but think of it and test it."

"Who is not like this? After going to the southeast, the official family was like a different person, and everyone was worried..." Xin Xingzong was quite understandable.

"As for why I have thought about it now, why do I find two people, not my side of Mount Tai, I have nothing to hide..." Hu Hongxiu smiled bitterly. "One of these, my wife and brother Wang Ruohai must be the best friends of the Imperial Academy in the past, and also be friends with Chen Dong, Ouyang Che, etc., but in the past few months, I have been willing to welcome you and honor your grandfathers in order to seek an official position. Even Wang Boyan's path is gone, but I feel disgusted with it!"

“…”

"The second one is naturally because Fan Qiong had a connection with me in Tokyo. I wished I could kill him that day, but because I was powerless and cowardly at that time, I could only cry out and leave the city with a manifesto explaining the city defense. This is a great hatred in my life!"

"We met that day." Xin Yongzong couldn't help but interrupt.

But Hu Hong didn't say anything about this, obviously remembering the past events in Tokyo, but he was overwhelmed with hatred. He stopped for a long time before he calmed down. Then he sat there and continued to say with a stern voice:

"Three rules, since Jingkang, I have personally experienced the siege, and I have determined that if I want to pacify the world, military and horses must be the first in this world! If I really have the opportunity to restore the two rivers and avenge my previous shame, I, Hu Hongxiong, will be the centurion, and will be a sect! I, a mere official position, and civil and military divisions, are you not a big deal in front of the tens of millions of people in the two rivers?!"
