The 10,000 Dragon Elephant Army rushed out of camp, marched in a hurry, and rushed to Beimang amidst the sound of horns shaking the sky. Not to mention the ordinary Beiliang soldiers, even Wei Fu Chengdian Xiongshu, a general with real power in his hands, felt inconceivable.
In the previous battle between Chen Zhibao and Hong Jingyan, the Chess and Sword Yuefu watched the battle with a bronze man holding a plate, and the fight was ups and downs. Afterwards, Chen Zhibao went to the green Pure Land Mountain to escape the summer heat and heal his injuries. Wei Fucheng held a third of Beiliang's white crossbow Yulin and Dianxiong, with six thousand iron pagodas and heavy cavalry, are all confidantes under Chen Zhibao's command. At this time, not only these two meet, but also several young and strong generals who have risen on the border of Liangmang with their military exploits. Get together by coincidence. Things gather like birds and people are divided into groups. Chen Zhibao's direct lineage is divided into two groups, which are clearly separated and do not blend into one group. The other group is a group of civil officials, full of scholars and aides. , are not very pleasing to the eye.
It is well known in the world that General Xu Xiao dotes on his children, and the three strong troops in the Beiliang Army, which number nearly ten thousand, are all named after their children, but the eldest son is not so lucky. The Dragon Elephant Army with 10,000 horses is particularly famous. It is a real warrior who fights a hundred battles. Not to mention the position of the chief general, even the deputy general has always been in vain. Yuan Zuo Zongyao has been in charge of the deputy general for these years, but he has never intervened in the details. However, every time there are elite soldiers in the Beiliang Army, most of them will be sent to the Dragon Elephant Army for sharpening and training. This cavalry army, which is between heavy cavalry and light cavalry, can be called the darling of the Beiliang Army. In ten years, there are rare wars with more than 50,000 to 60,000 people, but as long as there are battles and military achievements, the Dragon Elephant Cavalry must be the first to rush to the battlefield. Bloody battles have never been defeated. I have an impression that in the future, the eldest son of the dandy will be the hereditary king of Beiliang, and he must rely on his younger brother who is born with supernatural powers to charge the battle, so that he can sit firmly. There are less than a thousand people, once the full-scale war is launched, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will be thrown into the battle on all fronts, and a dispensable Fengzi battalion will not be enough to see between the teeth.
It was Chen Zhibao who made the entire Spring and Autumn Period understand the horror of many arms participating in the war together. His military orders when he was in command claimed to be accurate to the heads of every hundred lieutenants. In the realm of instigation, even if Ye Baikui, the soldier saint, bears a bloody feud and is killed by Chen Zhibao, his wife and daughter, he still has to praise the enemy sincerely, "This man is in formation, he is impeccable, and he is superb."
I remember one day when the son stayed up late to read military books, forgot to eat and sleep, and smiled and asked the talented civil and military officials in the palace: Dear friends, who can compare with Chen Zhibao in terms of military art
At that time, when the Northern Liang Army had the most prestigious reputation, the civilian officials naturally kept silent and watched their noses, noses, noses, and hearts. The generals frowned, and some generals who would later become the backbone of the Gu party looked at each other, and then they all looked at General Gu Jiantang, who kept his eyes closed all the time.
Sun Xiji, the old grand master of Xichu, replied blankly: "No one can surpass him."
There is a small Zhuangzi in Pure Land Mountain, which is full of green willows. The Zhuangzi has no mistress for this reason. In these years, I have never heard of a woman who has caught Chen Zhibao's eyes. The servants on the Zhuangzi are all wounded who quit the army. Disabled old soldiers, they are servants by name, but they all live well, have enough food and clothing, and are stable. Some of them are married and have children. These children are just like their parents, and they don’t have the cognition of being a bitch. Seeing that A general in white clothes who doesn't smile often, is not afraid at all, and those women who are slowly growing into young girls in Zhuangzi have a mentality that there is no man in the world except him.
It was rumored outside that Chen Zhibao fought with Hong Jingyan, the fourth in the world, and was almost fatally injured. But at this time, Chen Zhibao was wearing a white robe, his face was not withered, and he was sitting on the stone bench under the willow tree. Zhuangzi had no outer walls. Looking at it is thousands of miles of yellow sand. A girl brought a plate of sliced watermelon, or a pot of iced plum soup, but Chen Zhibao didn’t make a sound, and the girls got used to it. They took a few sneaky glances and then turned away, not wanting to disturb the silence of the master. meditation. Chen Zhibao is known to be familiar with poetry and books, full of strategy, and has a lot of attainments in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is more famous than scholars, but he rarely hears the words and reasoning from him, and he has never seen him reciting poems with scholars right scene. Most of the time, he likes to be alone as he is only under one person in the Northern Liang army.
Few people cared about what this white-clothed battle fairy was thinking. Wei Dian and the others were just used to obeying orders, and never doubted. I am afraid that even if Chen Zhibao told them that being a general was boring, he would go to the capital to drag the emperor down. Chair, they will only applaud.
Chen Zhibao smiled abruptly, because he remembered many interesting things. Back then, when the flames of war subsided and the end of the Spring and Autumn Period was so bittersweet and interesting. Like the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty who was fond of drama, called himself the patriarch of Liyuan, was obsessed with it, ignored the government for ten years, hung out with actors, and was muddleheaded. His Majesty, pointing at the ministers, laughed and said, "They are all actors!"
Chen Zhibao's eyes were cold, and he smiled softly: "I can't get a few actors who reward money. The actors are innocent, and the theatergoers have feelings?"
The Dragon Elephant Army raided Beimang without warning, with the second son Xu Longxiang leading the charge, followed by Yuan Zuozong's palace.
When Xu Xiao returned to the barracks, an old scholar was concentrating on a game of chess inside. Xu Xiao, a stinky chess player, played a game of chess. He had seen sacrifices and regretted chess more than a dozen times. Since then, he has an indelible psychological shadow on the so-called national chess players. But since Wang Jijiu can be Xu Weixiong's master, he will definitely not be ambiguous about the art of war. After Xu Xiao sat down, he didn't rush to urge Mr. Wang to play chess, and said with a smile: "On behalf of Huang Maner, thank you Mr. for secretly training the Dragon Elephant Army all these years."
Xuegong Jijiu picked up a white chess piece and dropped it heavily, with a confident look on his face, he stroked his beard and smiled: "The overall situation is settled, you lost again, General."
Xu Xiao didn't expose this gentleman's bad behavior of secretly tampering with the position of the black chess, and pretended to admit defeat, "It's an honor to lose to Mr. Xu Xiao."
The old gentleman, who has almost no chess skills at all, has no guilt and feels refreshed. "Playing chess with the general is indeed a blessing in life."
Xu Xiao stood up, came to the map of Beimang, and slowly drew a marching route with his fingers. Mr. Wang squinted at the map and remained silent for a long time.
Xu Xiao remained calm, and was the first one who couldn't hold back the sacrificial wine in the academy, and said softly: "Chaos, it's chaos. In the Southern Dynasty, there was Cao Changqing who contributed to the flames, and they were about to make trouble on the stage. The female emperor in the north has always disliked Buddhism and wanted to respect Dao exterminates Buddhism, unifies religions, turns them into their own use, and becomes the second river and lake under the skirt. As a result, no one expected that Monk Nagarjuna went to the Taoist sect alone. There was a wave of arrows and sword rain for a whole ten days. General, if you dispatch the Dragon Elephant Army at this time, aren't you afraid that the Beiting and Nanchao will be twisted into a single rope to deal with your Beiliang iron cavalry?"
Xu Xiao hunched his back slightly, looked at the map and said calmly: "Bei Mang is not as rich as the Central Plains. The Wang Ting Huang Zhang has been short of money these years, and he has fed twelve generals. He is the same as Gu Jiantang from the Northern Liang Army and the Eastern Front." The confrontation is already extreme, and there is still a long way to go from the old woman's original intention of swallowing Beiliang in one go. If the army is strong, it must be real money. Where does the money come from? It can't fall from the sky. How can she not be envious of such a fat sheep? She didn't dare to slaughter the meat before, because Tuoba Bodhisattva and several festival-holders disagreed, but now there is a Qilin national teacher who is rated as a Taoist saint. Sitting in the township, and gaining the support of several great generals, Tuoba Bodhisattva will only stand on the sidelines. The matter of destroying the Buddha is already on the line. , unless the Buddha appeared. She was indeed forced by our government’s border policy in recent years. The combination of Zhang Julu and Gu Jiantang is still very effective. Why don’t these two chicken thieves force Bei Mang? Do everything in your power to fight to the death with my Beiliang iron cavalry. The Empress of Beimang must first consume the financial resources of Buddhism in the country, and then annex the unrescued Beiliang in one go, so that she can bypass the increasingly stable eastern front and raise her troops Going south, occupying Nanzhao and other places in Western Shu, with food and soldiers, it is time to compete with the Liyang Dynasty for the whole world. Anyone who is qualified to talk and fart knows this kind of thinking. This is Zhang Julu's conspiracy The skill is here. Originally, if the eastern front was too weak, Bei Mang could directly borrow a few generals and tens of thousands of troops from the western front, pile up 400,000 cavalry to plunder the eastern front, crush the eastern front into a sieve, and enter first. Master Tai'an City, become the co-lord of the world, and turn around and finally target Beiliang. In this way, I will live longer than him and Gu Jiantang. The mother-in-law is happy to see her, there is no one else besides her."
Mr. Wang nodded, deeply convinced, "Bi Yaner is just like me, she can play chess very well."
Xu Xiao said with a smile: "It was originally a chess game that would last for 20 or 30 years at least, but both sides are impatient, and they are more anxious than the Northern Mang Empress, because Zhang Julu grasps the military affairs of the northern line with one hand, and digests the southern side with the other. The national power of the old Eight Kingdoms in the Spring and Autumn Period, especially the key point is that the chief assistant to a considerable extent prevented the emperor from trying to emphasize the signs of emphasizing the culture and suppressing the military, which made the tension of our dynasty far better than that of Beimang, which was scarce in resources. The longer it drags on, the greater the advantage. Let us leave Yang, after the unification of the Spring and Autumn Period, the real family can be considered a big business, even if it can stand the toss, and with Zhang Julu as a diligent tinkerer, if I am the emperor of Beimang, I will feel bad all over. Who the hell Want to be a neighbor to a strong man with a rich family and an education? Isn't that just being angry every day?"
Xuegong Jijiu smiled and said: "The general's words are not rough."
The old man said with emotion: "When you talk about peace in the high school building, you always think that as long as you go out, you can help the world and the people, turn the tide, and make governance and peace the world as easy as writing a few words, and the harm is no less than that of a military governor. Separation. This was said by Bi Yan'er herself in front of the imperial court. As the number one scholar and a scholar, she can say such a truth, which shows that it is very appropriate to be the chief assistant. No wonder Zhang Julu can be an opponent with the general. Hey, big General, we are all digressing."
Xu Xiao continued to point to the map, and said with a smile, "I think differently from my husband. This time the Dragon Elephant Army will go to the north, not only to fight a battle, but also to fight a tough battle. Picking up soft persimmons is not my temperament in the Northern Liang Army. Sir, I am worried. If the Dragon Elephant Army wins the battle, those scholars in the Southern Dynasty who forget their ancestors and recite their ancestors will hate Beiliang more. The upstarts of the Southern Dynasty who fled to the top have their tails up in the sky long ago, so they have to be beaten hard to know what it means to be afraid. I just want them to be afraid to the bone. These bastards are as rooted as the original Spring and Autumn scholars So this time, the Dragon Elephant Army, the first military town that will be smashed is Wazhu, which ranks first in the combat power of Longyao Prefecture, and the rest of the military towns, Junziguan, Ligu, and Maolong , They are all hard bones, if they are not in the same line, the Dragon Elephant Army will go around and eat them one by one."
The old gentleman said with worry, "But the Dragon Elephant Army is only 10,000. Not counting the troops along the route, there are 60,000 elite soldiers in the five towns alone. You have to face the two Beimang generals, okay? Thousand Dragon Elephant Army, how many people can be withdrawn?"
Xu Xiao laughed, "I forgot to tell my husband, our Great Snow Dragon Cavalry Army in Beiliang is about to leave."
Beiliang's iron cavalry is the best in the world, and the big snow dragon rides the hero of Beiliang!
The old man seemed to feel the coolness in this summer, so he hugged his sleeves.
He muttered to himself, "But doesn't that mean we're going to fight? It's not right, it's really not right."
Xu Xiao pressed his palm on the map and said, "My son is there, is that enough reason?"
