The whole of Beiliang knew that there was a group of elite Qingqi raised by their stepmothers stationed outside the capital city of their own way. Most of them were children of rich families, and occasionally there were grandchildren of generals. Their fathers were not high-ranking officials, and the number remained at around 800. Because the dragons have no leader and are restricted by rules, this cavalry army rarely has the opportunity to show up. Only last year, five people were selected from each of the nearly twenty bids, and they made up a hundred cavalry. Then they carried back more than a dozen corpses of Paoze who died in battle, and then brought back many boxes of martial arts cheats from a place called Guniu Dagang in Huishan, the outside world didn't pay much attention. Has His Royal Highness done too many ridiculous things over the years
What can only 800 cavalry do? The pawn Wang Chong once asked Colonel Yuan Meng this question in private. Yuan Meng told him that when Chu Lushan and General Chu led troops to open Shu, there were only two or three thousand people, and they were beaten endlessly. The souls of Xishu, which can be based on natural dangers, are scattered.
Lin Heng, a good brother of pawn Wang Chong, died in the Battle of Reeds in Xiangfan City. He was pierced by Wang Mingyin, the eleventh in the world, with a halberd. Flicking the knife with his fingers in the bow, Lin Heng also said that the man was not a showman, and he was very excited to practice the knife. Although Wang Chong's martial arts were not as good as Lin Heng who always clamored that his sword skills would be stronger than Gu Jiantang's in the future, he still didn't believe it at the time. Later, outside Xiangfan City, he was stopped and killed by Wang Mingyin, one of the few masters in the martial arts, and he saw it with his own eyes. Wang Chong finally believed in the man's sword drawing, but Lin Heng died. But Wang Chong didn't hold grudges against that man, because that day, they had only ninety cavalry against King Jing'an's thousand cavalry. The two armies confronted each other. After ordering to withdraw the sword, he didn't say anything to calm down the army. He just helped Wang Chong bandage the wound himself. Wang Chong was not a stunned young man. On the day when he earned his military exploits with a clear conscience, Wang Chong naturally didn't feel that he was going to sacrifice his life. Is our life not life? Why would I sacrifice my life for you? Lao Tzu's father is not bad either. After coming down from the border of Beiliang Army, he can be regarded as the leader of the army of a county.
It's just that after that trip down the rivers and lakes, let alone Wang Chong, even a soldier like Wang Donglin has changed after he returned to Beiliang. If anyone in Fengziying said that he was wrong, Wang Donglin would not Nonsense, I went to the school martial arts field to have a riding battle, and won three games in a row. In the fourth martial arts session, someone poked a wooden spear off the horse, and asked him to sit on the horse's back and hold the spear point to his chest. Wang Donglin opened his mouth, and Hong Shuwen, another standard who was walking the rivers and lakes together, turned over and got on his horse with a spear, stabbed the man off the horse, and asked him in turn whether he would accept it or not. Hong Shuwen is one of the most ruthless guys in Fengziying, and his horse and foot combat are all outstanding. Even Captain Yuan said that this kid is a dog that doesn't bark. He really bites people without knowing the severity. In the camp, no one will speak ill of the young man who has never set foot in the barracks. It's not that he doesn't want to say it, but he really doesn't dare to say it. Damn Hong Shuwen and a few people can't count their hands in private. The captain has always talked about punishment, and there is no fart afterwards. It seems that someone saw Captain Yuan open a small stove and taught Hong Shuwen a few martial arts marksmanship. That guy is gone! What's more, after that, Ning Emei, the famous euphorbia of the Northern Liang Army, wandered around the Fengzi camp from time to time, looking for cavalry like Wang Chong and Wang Donglin. During this period, he also took in two unnamed apprentices. They are not related to apprentices, but it is almost the same. They teach each other how to throw short halberds, and spend money to invite these unknown soldiers who have no military achievements to drink in their spare time. One of the dignified Four Fangs of Beiliang, he can be on an equal footing with Dian Xiongshou, a top-notch powerful general who commanded 6,000 iron stupas and cavalry.
Although the 800 people in Fengziying are currently in a state of depression, none of them are worthy of the Beiliang saber in their waists. In terms of combat power alone, they will definitely not lose to any strong army in Beiliang, especially Hong Ruozi. A bastard who fights like a meal, should have been an elite crossbowman long ago.
Babai Qingqi held his breath and waited quietly for the man's arrival.
They only knew they were going to carry out a long-distance raid, and they didn't know who to kill. How many soldiers and horses the enemy has, I don't know. Life and death after the war, I don't know.

Xu Xiao got into the carriage, and the groom was Han Laoshan, the younger brother of the Spear Immortal King.
Chen Xiliang and the little girl followed into the carriage without seeing the outside world, Xu Beizhi was left behind and entered Liangzhou Fucheng, and followed him to the palace. He rode on horseback, surrounded by a few aged servants who were as breathless as rivers. The carriage stopped suddenly, and Xu Beizhi suddenly saw the king of Beiliang raised the curtain and waved to him.
Xu Beizhi got into the carriage, not to mention trembling, but still full of mixed feelings.
The hunchbacked old man in front of him, together with Huang Sanjia, ruined the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, and was even said to have broken the backbone of millions of Confucian scholars.
Xu Beizhi really couldn't imagine that Rentu was an old man chatting and laughing with traffickers and pawns.
Xu Xiao leaned against the wall of the car with his hands in his sleeves, and said to the grandson of the old man, "Don't hold grudges against Xu Huainan's death. Of course, if you really want to remember it, you will also hold grudges against me."
Xu Beizhi knelt down on his knees, bowed his head and said, "Xu Beizhi dare not."
Xu Xiao smiled, "Don't you dare?"
The green shirt behind Xu Beizhi's back was soaked immediately, and he was sweating profusely, but his tone didn't change at all. He lowered his eyes all the time, and said in a slow and deep voice: "Since Xu Beizhi has arrived in Beiliang, he has devoted himself to doing things for Beiliang. My heart, Xu Beizhi is not a saint, so it is absolutely impossible."
Xu Xiao nodded and said, "That's true, very good."
Xu Beizhi remained silent.
Xu Xiao said softly: "Sitting and talking, to be honest, we are still distant relatives, so you can just call me Uncle Xu from now on."
Xu Beizhi sat cross-legged and upright.
Xu Xiao asked: "This time the prince Zhao Kai went far to the Western Regions, as expected, the Eight Hundred Phoenix Camp will meet him at the throat between the Jiange and the Liusha River, between the northern and southern borders. Except for one The powerful Esoteric Dharma King, there are two hundred elite Habayashi cavalry, and sixteen imperial guards with golden swords. As for the dark forces, Beiliang's eyeliner spies didn't dig out many. Do you think this interception is worth it? When? Even if it succeeds, what are the pros and cons?"
Xu Beizhi calmly asked back: "May I ask how many rebellious soldiers the General has in the Jiange?"
Xu Xiao frowned, and said softly, "Instigating rebellion?"
The old man then smiled and said: "Just according to what you said, Jiange has been a first-class border town since ancient times, and its importance can be ranked in the top ten in the entire Liyang Dynasty. There are 16,000 defenders in total. Most of the 8,000 infantry are from Gu Jiantang's old army, and there are also some subordinates from King Yanchi. As for the cavalry, there are currently 3,000 cavalry, just in the area west of Jiange, killing a group of bandits."
Xu Beizhi continued to ask: "How many of the remaining 5,000 riders can leave the customs in an emergency?"
Xu Xiao said: "More than half, the same is 3,000 soldiers and horses. But the premise is that there is Gu Jiantang's military minister Hu Talisman, and it will be delivered to Jiange in 800 miles. Unfortunately, on the post road leading to Jiange, I have Some old subordinates, who are getting old, may make the military information not convey quickly."
Xu Beizhi shook his head and said: "I dare say that it will not be these three thousand soldiers who will act, but the other two thousand cavalry. Because even if Gu Jiantang is willing to issue this troop order, there will be someone in the palace over there in the capital." The woman blocked it."
Xu Xiao frowned and said, "Oh? Who has the courage."
Xu Beizhi said indifferently: "The emperor of the Zhao family, to be more precise, is the Han Diao Temple who wants to support Zhao Kai as the emperor. This powerful official who seems to be losing power in the palace is very likely to leave Beijing in person. Moreover, Han Diaosi's doing so means that he will really go downhill from the palace. After all, it is a royal taboo for an eunuch to participate in the battle for the heir apparent. No matter how great the relationship between the chair and a personal eunuch is, it can't afford such extravagance, even if the emperor of the Zhao family really has the idea in his heart to let Zhao Kai succeed him, Han Diao Temple will definitely give up his position."
Xu Xiao nodded: "This statement makes sense."
Chen Liangxi, who had been hugging the little girl all this time, looked down at her who was dependent on each other, and smiled knowingly.
She didn't know what Brother Chen was laughing at, but she just smiled at him out of habit.
Xu Beizhi sighed sincerely: "Even if the son is determined to kill Zhao Kai and the two hundred imperial guards, I'm afraid it will be a constant catching of each other's cicadas."
Xu Xiao suddenly laughed loudly, pointed to Chen Xiliang, and then said to Xu Beizhi: "You two, the heroes generally see the same thing, but there are still some small differences."
Xu Beizhi didn't look at Chen Xiliang.
Chen Xiliang didn't look up at Xu Beizhi either.
One is the grandson of Xu Huainan, the king of the North Academy, who has high hopes.
One is a poor scholar who was not even qualified to attend the Baoguo Temple Qushui Liucup.
"Just like a wealthy woman, even if she looks like a gentleman, she has her own bearing. You need to carefully carve out the details to get rid of arrogance, so that you can slowly see the beauty of heaven and country, and gradually get better."
"Just like a poor family beauty, although she is very beautiful and charming, she lacks the natural aura of wealth after all. It needs to be given charm from the big place and open up the pattern, so that it can be round and round, charming but not bewitching."
Listening to a book desk on the top floor of the Chao Pavilion, there is a piece of rice paper, and a national scholar wrote a few comments from Xu Beizhi and Chen Xiliang before he died.
Xu Xiao said softly: "You guys are much luckier to meet Fengnian than those few scholars who met me."
Xu Xiao smiled softly and said, "Beiliang will have to work hard for you in the future. It is difficult to start a business and defend Chengdu, and it will be even more difficult if the established people really want to work hard for a new country."
Both Chen and Xu were shocked at the same time.
There was a rare look of loneliness in Xu Xiao's eyes, "After entering the city, you first go to the grave of Fengnian to toast someone. He valued both of you very much during his lifetime, so don't let him down."
"This man's name is Li Yishan."

A party of knights came crashing down a remote path that did not belong to the post road.
Yuan Meng's eyes widened suddenly, and his gaze instantly became hot. This general, who had been ridiculed by his colleagues all the year round, was even shaking the hand holding the gun at this moment.
The leader Yiqi is an extremely romantic son, but on that handsome face that should be cynical, there is a solemn and heroic spirit that even eight hundred white horses are unfamiliar with.
There is a short knife at the waist in the left hand, and a long sword in the right.
The second rider was the second son of Ren Tu who was dressed in black and barefoot.
Who doesn't know the Dragon Elephant Army in Beimang Liyang now? Who doesn't know that Xu Longxiang is the enemy of ten thousand
The third rider is the white bear Yuan Zuozong who is known as the top three in the army of the Liyang Dynasty!
This unparalleled fierce general who is known to the world in the first battle of the concubine of Western Chu, only has a Beiliang knife, which is enough.
The fourth rider is a woman in Tsing Yi carrying a spear.
The fifth rider is a woman with her arms hidden in the big sleeves of a red robe and a red scarf on her head. She can't see her face clearly, but she has a ghostly aura, and her aura is not lost to Yuan Zuozong at all!
Wuqi passed by Fengziying one by one.
Yuan Meng turned the horse's head first, and the rest of the Qingqi followed closely behind in silence.
