With those dozens of reckless dragons and snakes turning against each other, there would be no suspense in the battle situation. Under the instruction of sweet potatoes, according to the seal of the siege of the city in the book of war, deliberately revealing a way out, Tao Yongming was willing to leave the foundation of Dunhuang City and take the lead. Abandoning the backbone and the Mao family, and fleeing with his cronies, Lu Wu, the old general of Jinxi Prefecture, was involuntary. His wealth and life were hanging in the city. A stick of incense was left behind, but Sweet Potato ignored him, Lu Wu died with nothing to rest in peace, and all the retinue of the Mao family died in battle. The thick formation of Jin Wuwei, the traitor outside the palace, killed one of the cavalry, and the remaining cavalrymen who were surviving were killed, lost their weapons, and fell to the ground.
Xu Pu picked up an iron gun casually, and when he turned back, he saw Sweet Potato and Xu Fengnian who was sitting on the bookcase to rest and recuperate. You know best, don't worry about me, just do what you want. This Uncle Xu is my master's best friend, you can trust him."
"I've seen the governor." Sweet Potato stretched his waist and lightly bestowed a blessing, first privately and then publically, and said solemnly: "Please trouble Uncle Xu to bring fifty cavalry to chase Tao Yong, leaving him alone to return to Orange State, which is also considered Dunhuang City Give Murong Baoding a face. Uncle Xu will then lead the troops to the outside of Buque Terrace, just do nothing."
Xu Pu took the order and went away, and several old eunuchs and Zijin palace ladies who survived by chance also followed behind this strange middle-aged man. Running towards Buquetai, which has been vacillating or standing still.
Xu Fengnian has been sitting on the bookcase to heal his wounds. It looks like his body is covered with blood. In fact, his body is slightly injured. The external injuries are not serious, but his meridians are seriously damaged. He has a manpower of 500 cavalry without any moisture. Sitting in the town, but with 500 horses and 500 mounts, Xu Fengnian beheaded more than 240 horses, and another 40 horses were killed when they ran into Xu Fengnian, which shows that the battle was tight and dangerous. Importantly, relying on iron fists to rule the army and promising great rewards, hiding in the thickest part of the cavalry formation, let the cavalry launch a continuous offensive, throwing spears and spears, shooting with bows and crossbows, and then dozens of cavalry collided with the cavalry at the same time. All the means were used. Among them, some cavalry captains with slightly higher force, under her arrangement, took advantage of the opportunity to attack Xu Fengnian. It can be said that if the two sides are just playing chess on Qipanshan, only the life and death of the chess pieces are counted, regardless of people's hearts, even Xu Fengnian If you try your best to kill a hundred riders, you will also be doomed to die outside the city gate, but when Chunqiu used the sword energy to roll the wall and a sleeve of green dragon to clear the way, and then stabbed Mao Rou to death with the Chunlei knife, it was like beheading a general in an army. level, the iron knight spirit will drop to the bottom, and the momentum can no longer be gathered, and it is reasonable to be defeated like a mountain. Even if Xu Fengnian has five or six points to reach the perfection of the Dahuangting and the initial stage of the King Kong, he still needs to cultivate for two decades To be able to recover, this bloody battle is no less thrilling than the death battle with the three masters of Tuoba Chun Falcon on the grassland. Putting it in the market, it looks like a young man fighting with three men of the same age. The onlookers seem to be scheming and very exciting. , or even a few hundred mouthfuls, is equally creepy.
Xu Fengnian quietly looked at those people from all walks of life who were a little nervous after the dust settled, and then looked at the burly old man who fell to the ground and died. Before he died, he squeezed the iron gun to the ground and died holding the gun with both hands, but was quickly chopped down by some people with knives and trampled over. Some shrewd Jianghu people walked while beating, approached the corpse, rolled around, and got closer The old man's corpse, as soon as his hand touched it, he took the jade pendant around his waist to the sheep. A few of them started slowly, swearing that they followed suit, rolling back and forth on Lu Wu's corpse, back and forth, without even the jade-encrusted buckle belt. Let it go, it was taken away, and there was only one cowhide boot left on the foot. Everyone said that the dead is the big one. At this time, the Mao family, except for the two fragrant maids curled up in the corner on the carriage, are all dead. A sharp-eyed martial arts man wants to have a good time in the carriage, even if he doesn’t take off his pants and don’t work. As a result, Xu Pu, who happened to ride by in the head, stabbed him in the back of the heart. With a twist of the gun, his body was torn in two. No one dared to mess around in the chaos, and everyone kept silent.
Xu Fengnian had already put the Chunlei Knife back into the bookcase, with a blood-stained and scarlet Chunqiu sword lying on his knee, and said to Sweet Potato standing beside him, "How to appease the many surrendering forces?"
Sweet Potato thought for a while, and said: "These aftermath should be left to the governor Xu Pu, and the servants should have died outside the palace gate, so it's not good to add to the snake."
She smiled, "Since the young master is here, of course it's up to you to decide."
Xu Fengnian frowned, "I just watch, I don't talk or do anything. But first, I have to arrange a reasonable identity for me. By the way, even you know Xu Pu. Will anyone recognize him as the former of the Northern Liang Army?" Commander of the 12th Qingqi Battalion?"
Sweet Potato shook his head and said: "No, the reason why the slaves recognized Xu Pu was that Li Yishan, the national teacher, specifically mentioned the Governor when he was listening to Chaoge's handouts. Moreover, the message transmission between Liang Mang is too expensive. It is in exchange for human life, and spies must be screened. It is impossible to cover every detail, and it is impossible to find an old general from Beiliang who has not shown up for 20 years. We in Beiliang can be said to be two The place where infiltration and reverse osmosis are the most important in the court. As far as the servants know, Beiliang has a secret agency. In addition to targeting Tai'an City and several feudal lords, it spares no effort in dealing with the Beimang Imperial Account and the Southern Dynasty capital. All of these It’s master son and master who handles it all by himself, and it’s not leaking.”
Xu Fengnian laughed at himself: "Benevolence does not join the army, and compassion does not lead the army. I think Xu Pu's impression of me has changed, but it is probably not much better."
Sweet Potato said sadly: "It's all the servant's fault."
Xu Fengnian smiled and said: "You were really wrong this time. If it wasn't for you, I insisted on being a hero and went back to the city. Perhaps Xu Pu would never kneel down and call out His Royal Highness in this life. At most, it would be commensurate with your uncle and nephew. I don’t know, these famous spring and autumn generals who came from the military are all rebellious in their bones, and they value military achievements far more than human feelings. Xu Pu is already a rare exception. Like Zhao Changling, the counselor who is called the right-hand man with my master, they all say Three years old, but when I was not born, Xu Xiao didn't have a son, so he predicted that in the future, the Beiliang Army would be safe only if it was handed over to Chen Zhibao. Instead of talking about how to avenge his family, but holding Xu Xiao's hand and saying that Chen Zhibao's adopted son status must be removed, so that he can die with peace of mind."
Sweet Potato didn't dare to ask the following.
Xu Fengnian stood up, with Chunqiu Guisheath behind his back, exhaled a breath of golden turbidity in scarlet red, and said with a smile: "It was a blessing in disguise, I absorbed two Zen golden elixirs outside the city, and opened a new one, and do you know this The famous sword that was only forged by the handle, if it drinks more than a thousand blood, it can become a flying sword by itself?"
Sweet Potato blinked his eyes and said: "Then let the slaves use it, and kill seven or eight hundred people?"
Xu Fengnian put his finger on her forehead, and said with an angry smile: "You must be a fool to think of this famous sword that is expected to be among the top three in the world. You have to have a good understanding. You can't be careless about raising a sword, and you can't take shortcuts."
Xu Fengnian looked at the rivers of blood flowing outside the palace, sighed, and secretly scolded himself for a woman's benevolence, hypocrisy, and pretending to be good when he got a bargain. Carrying the bookcase, he got up and walked to the palace. Of course, Sweet Potato had to stay to clean up the mess. Looking at this figure from behind, she remembered that day in the palace, she wore a dragon robe and sat on a dragon chair, and the moment of happiness was worth a lifetime. Only then did I realize that, like my aunt, choosing to die in a lonely city and becoming a white head for a man is not such a terrible thing. Xu Fengnian suddenly turned around and smiled. Sweet Potato momentarily lost his mind, wondering which lucky woman he will fall in love with in this life, Jiang Ni? Sweet Potato really doesn't like this subjugated princess who lives only for revenge. She thinks that a more generous woman is worthy of the son's love. Of course, this is just what Sweet Potato thinks, and she supports the young master's choice.
Xu Fengnian was no longer that His Royal Highness who disregarded the five grains and did not work hard. He bathed and changed clothes alone in Qingzhai, and after changing into clean clothes, he felt refreshed. The overall situation of Dunhuang City has been decided, and the maids and eunuchs of the various palaces will continue to follow their own orders. The turmoil outside the palace is nothing more than the emperor and the courtiers. It is just the ups and downs of the big men. Some of them may just be removed with their heads, which will not disturb the lives of these small fish and shrimps. But to be honest, they still like the current Palace Master to be the master of Dunhuang City very much. The city lord, who is as cold as an iceberg every day, needs to be more humane. Xu Fengnian is sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard full of flowers, with Spring and Autumn and Chunlei on the table. Just listening to the names, they look like a pair of sisters and brothers. Xu Fengnian did not wait. The reasonable sweet potato was Xu Pu's unexpected solo visit.
Xu Pu didn't kneel down to show his position. Seeing Xu Fengnian waving his hand, he sat down calmly and said, "According to Li Yishan's arrangement, we will visit the forces and treat them separately. The local factions that are deeply rooted in the city will be wiped out and no one will be left behind. Those who infiltrated into Dunhuang City from outside the city in the past ten years, such as Juzizhou and Jinxi Prefecture, two confidantes who hold festivals, will continue to be handed over to them after the old forces are hollowed out and leveled, and the new Dunhuang City will take the initiative As a show of favor, not only let them go down the steps, but also put up a ladder, and let them annex some of the Mao family and Lu family's territory. In this way, there will be fat bait to slowly eat away, and they will be safe for five years, saying In the end, there is still no way to escape a temple balance technique."
Xu Fengnian nodded and asked curiously, "What kind of attitude is Buquetai?"
Xu Pu, who was extraordinarily elegant and like a down-and-out scholar when he was not killing people, said with a soft smile, "It is the best attitude not to make a statement, and New Dunhuang is willing to give them a piece of the action."
Xu Fengnian asked: "Which forces are the dark chess players in Beiliang?"
Xu Pu said without hesitation: "The Yuwen Duanmu family was supported by Li Yishan, but I am afraid that even within these two families, only four or five people know the truth. Move, it's not worth mentioning."
Xu Fengnian smiled bitterly and said, "Will I create trouble for Master when I make such a fuss?"
Xu Pu smiled sincerely: "Li Yishan himself often said what the people's hearts want, and just now he made the chess outside the chessboard, which shows the true chess strength of the national player. Don't worry, Your Highness, the general believes that Li Yishan will definitely be happy to see the result, and it can make a game of chess extra angry. , it can be seen that His Highness has really entered the game and exerted strength, which is a good thing."
Xu Fengnian asked with interest: "Uncle Xu is also good at chess?"
Xu Pu hurriedly waved his hands and said, "I've been with Li Yishan for a long time, and I can only talk about big principles. If you really want to play a game, it's just a vulgar and stinky chess basket. If you can't beat your highness, your highness, don't force others to make things difficult for you."
Xu Fengnian laughed and said, "I think it's better than Xu Xiao."
One respectfully called His Royal Highness, and the other called Uncle Xu warmly.
Is it right
A late spring bitter rain suddenly poured down.
Xu Fengnian and Xu Pu walked into the Zhaizi together, and Xu Fengnian said: "When the devil Luoyang enters the city is the real doom of Dunhuang City."
Xu Pu nodded, even the governor of Qingqi was a little worried.
Xu Fengnian laughed at himself: "Don't be crowed."
It was pouring rain inside and outside the city.
Dressed in white clothes, I went to Caiji Buddhist Caves and walked slowly towards Dunhuang City.
During the day, the heavy rain was like a dark curtain, and the white clothes of the man were particularly conspicuous. The raindrops evaporated after a foot away from his head and body.
Some fleeing and defeated cavalrymen of the Jinwu Guards of the Mao family saw this handsome man with the appearance of a Bodhisattva girl on the road, and felt malicious in their hearts, but before they could make a sound, they chopped their men and horses into pieces in the heavy rain.
