Chapter 322 Choice
"What the hell, what is this called? No one will plow the rotten fields, and once plowed, there will be people fighting for it~"

Facing the position about 20 meters away, those personnel who are currently greeting Hu Biao, the deadly commander, with fake smiles on their faces.

The old snake couldn't help but spit out such a sentence in a voice that only a few people around could hear.

It's a joke, but judging from the expression on the old snake's face, it shows the current mood of this guy, which is quite relaxed.

It can even be described with such a word as relieved.

Thank goodness!People finally came from the rear. They didn't have to be like a group of sand sculptures, guarding this line of defense where there were no enemies coming.

To be more precise, after Hu Biao and the others defended the defense line of the car formation, at noon on the third day, a group of netizens who had been waiting anxiously at that time finally came from the rear.

The people who came to contact them were a team of hundreds of people.

After a little careful inspection, one can find that these people belong to two distinct groups of people, and they are faintly wary of each other.

However, the figures at the head of the two sides showed quite enthusiasm for Hu Biao's deadly rush to the street.

Although the netizens don't know what is the reason for these people's ink marks to appear here finally.

But this is not important anymore, the important thing is that these people finally came, and judging from their performance, Hu Biao doesn't seem to be an ordinary hot seller...

The fact is indeed the same, after talking nonsense with the visitor like "I have admired my name for a long time", after some haha ​​greetings.

By this morning, Hu Biao, who was already able to get up and move around, basically understood some of the situation.

Among the above two groups of people, one is the envoy sent by the dead eunuch Tong Guan.

In his capacity as Xuanfu envoy of Hebei Hedong, he asked Hu Biao and others to follow them to Hejian Mansion immediately. It is said that Tong Xuanshuai had some important matters to call them to inquire.

On the other side, the envoys sent by the old minister Gongzhong Shidao asked Hu Biao, the cannon fodder battalion leaders who nominally served under his Baojing Army, to go back with them.

It is said that the old gentleman has urgent military affairs for them to handle.

The reason why the above two groups of people appeared together was that they just met on the way; even if they didn't want to go together because of their own love in their hearts.

But in the current situation where both parties have no way to directly tear their faces apart.

The two groups had to form a group and appeared in front of Hu Biao and others together; after some pleasantries, they issued the above orders separately.

What needs to be explained is that the envoy sent by Zhong Shidao is actually an acquaintance of Hu Biao and others.

It was on the first day that Zhu Qianjun, the capital of the Baojing Army, was rescued; this guy who was saved by Hu Biao and others expressed his enthusiasm when he came:

Thanks to Commander Hu Ying for taking action in a critical moment and saving the old Mr. Zhong and him; not to mention more, from now on he, Hu Biao, will be a member of the Great Song Xijun.

When he said the word 'one of his own', Zhu Qianjun was obviously referring to something secretly.

The envoy sent by Tong Guan is a young man named Ma Kuo, whose name is Zi Chong.

After hearing the name of this person, Hu Biao combined some materials in his memory, and immediately felt a lot of respect in his heart.

Because this person was considered a famous figure at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty.

This person was born in martial arts. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, he was sent as an envoy to Liao and Jurchen. He was even appreciated by the leader of the Jurchen, Aguda, because of his skill and courage.

He also participated in historical events such as "recovering Yanjing", the shame of Jingkang, and the Mutiny of Miao and Liu.

When the Jin soldiers invaded on a large scale, he even led the Hebei Rebel Army and fought bloody battles with the Jin soldiers many times; therefore, he can be said to be a good man.

Ma Kuo waited until Zhu Qianjun represented the Western Army and tried to win over Hu Biao.

It was in his mouth, and he said to Hu Biao lightly: "Tong Xuanshuai has always been thirsty for heroes like Hu Ying Commander, so don't let him down..."

******
"Come on! Let's talk about it, how do you plan to choose?"

While adding some wood to an earthen stove, Hu Biao asked the people around him this sentence.

Facing the solicitation from both Tong Guan and Zhong Shidao, Hu Biao did not express his position immediately.

Instead, they used the excuse that the envoys from both sides had worked hard all the way, and they would take a break and eat a meal before speaking, so as to stabilize them temporarily.

Then, naturally, a group of netizens gathered together to discuss how to choose.

Specifically, he now needs to think about whether he should seek refuge with Tong Guan or the Western Army Group that cultivates the way of teachers?
Since Hu Biao is far less politically sensitive than those old slickers, he can tell what these two orders represent.

Whether it's Tong Guan or Zhong Shi Dao, they all want to use them as spearmen.

They all wanted to take advantage of the fact that in this battle, they not only broke the rear for the army, but also shot and wounded Yelu Dashi, and took the opportunity to give the opponent some eye drops.

If you choose one side, the other party is tantamount to offending and dying.

Neither side chooses, it definitely does not mean that both sides can have the same situation, but both sides are offended to death.

Facing such a problem, it did not cause much trouble to Hu Biao and the others; before the pot of braised mutton was completely cooked, they made a unanimous decision: choose the fierce one.

wrong!It should be the dead eunuch Tong Guan.

The reason is very simple, because according to historical records, Zhong Shidao and others did not play Tongguan in the end.

In the following two or three years, the Western Army, the strongest army in the Northern Song Dynasty, was dismantled by Tong Guan, and its combat effectiveness plummeted.

So after eating and drinking, Hu Biao said to Zhu Qianjun who was acting as a teacher:

"Please tell the old Mr. Zhong. Originally, when the old man asked for a call, we would naturally go to the account to listen to it immediately; but now that we have no resources, we can only pay a visit to Tong Xuanshuai first, and then go to visit his old man."

Although these words sound nice, they also express his current choice very clearly.

After hearing that, Zhu Qianjun just took a deep look at Hu Biao, and said expressionlessly: "No need, the commander of the Hu battalion should stay under Xuanshuai's tent.

correct!There are some gifts there, which can be regarded as the old man's kindness to make it easier for him to break through after you shot that day. "

After finishing speaking, he left with a group of followers.

When they left, they left behind a total of ten war horses, with many bags on their backs; inside were silk cloth, copper coins, gold and silver, things that could be used as money in the Northern Song Dynasty.

They made a preliminary estimate, and the total value of these things was probably around [-] guan; it was a kind of teacher's way of thanking Hu Biao and others for their life-saving grace.

It also let Hu Biao know that in the future, he and the Western Army, at least the high-level officials of the Western Army, may be completely enmity.

After Nama Kuo saw this, he was naturally very happy; he promised that with Tong Xuanshuai's handwriting, the reward would definitely be more than these.

After that, Hu Biao and others were asked to set off as soon as possible, but Tong Xuanshuai was waiting eagerly in Hejian Mansion.

At this point, everyone who has been here for three days can finally leave here.

So far, there are still 1100 people in their early years who have remained under Hu Biao's command; most of them are cannon fodder from warrior backgrounds.

Because of Tong Guan's urgent summoning, Hu Biao and others naturally couldn't move slowly with the slow-moving army with a lot of luggage.

Therefore, Hu Biao hastily announced Yue Fei as the acting battalion commander, temporarily commanding more than 1000 people, and retreated to the outside of Xiongzhou City to stand by.

It is said that outside Xiongzhou City, Yang Keshi, Liu Yanqing and other ministries have already set up some solid camps after retreating.

Hu Biao and his group of 26 surviving netizens followed Ma Kuo and others to Hejian Mansion.

At this point, Hu Biao could barely move on the ground because of the arrow wound on his back, so naturally he couldn't ride on his horse.

The situation is similar for other war elephants, singers, corn and others.

But this is not a big deal. After they emptied the three carts, they just let Hu Biao and other wounded people drive on the cart.

Thanks to their modification of the axles, after replacing the mules and horses pulling the carts with war horses, the speed is not much slower than riding on horseback.

The only problem is that this thing has no shock absorbers at all.

Fortunately, after laying a thick layer of hay, the overall impact is not great.
