A simple carriage traveled south leisurely, and first visited the three military towns of Maolong Ligu, Junziguan, outside Wazhujun Town. The border of the Southern Dynasties was full of gunpowder and smoke last year, and the Northern Liang cavalry crushed them all the way. They did not occupy the military town in order to push the border northward to resist Beimang, but looted all the property and craftsmen, and walked away. Even the cobweb-like post roads on the border were "too lazy" to destroy. Not at all afraid that Bei Mang would smoothly raise his troops to suppress the situation in a fit of anger. The carriage traveled through the three towns, seeing desolation and panic, the owner of the carriage occasionally lifted the curtain, expressionless, and then turned eastward, rushing to Liucheng at the junction of Longyaozhou and Youzhou, the city shepherd Tao Qian Zhizhi died suddenly when he went to the grave on Qingming Festival last year, and he has already changed to a city shepherd with the surname of Yelu. The carriage did not enter the city, but went straight south, approaching the border of Liangmang, the owner of the carriage seemed to be in a good mood, sitting behind the groom, leaning against the thick cotton curtain, carrying a pot of homemade glutinous rice syrup wine, she drank a few swigs, and sang a familiar song The extremely high-pitched letter to the sky, the desert and the yellow sand are vast and vast, the carriage is a bit lonely, and the tune of the old woman is not half-sounding and crooning, but it is soul-stirring. The coachman was a short, unremarkable man, but he held a whip and had long arms like an ape, which made his figure feel absurd. The middle-aged man was unsmiling. During the period, the old woman touched his back with the flagon. The man didn't turn around, but shook his head to signal him not to drink. The old woman was not annoyed at his ignorance. After singing the tune, she raised her head and took a sip of rich glutinous rice milk wine, showing her heroism. It's just that the heroine of the rivers and lakes made others applaud and applaud. The old woman is so informal, but no one will find it pleasing to the eye.
The old lady probably knew the groom's mediocre temperament, so she didn't expect him to talk to her, so she looked at the sky and said to herself: "You men are rich and powerful, and you all like golden houses, but I like feeding heroes and heroes. The ability to support scholars is only stronger than that of the old emperors of the Zhao family. In Wen, first there was Xu Huainan, the king of the North Academy, and then there was the Taiping Order of the Emperor, and there were also old celebrities from the Manchu Dynasty in the south, including Yang Yuanzan and Liu Gui. Twelve generals, all of them have outstanding military exploits, and they are all in my hands. In the six battles between the two opposing sides, the first to lose two, and the second to win four. No one in Liyang is afraid of Beimang's iron hooves, but it's okay, because the Beiliang cavalry made such a fuss, Liyang underestimated our Beimang, and Tai'an City quickly snatched Gu Jiantang's military minister, Bi Yaner's plan to tilt the taxation to the north has finally started to encounter many obstacles that surfaced. It is a good thing that people in the center of the capital are not in harmony. In my opinion, the reason why the new minister of the Ministry of War, the villain Tu, is not paying attention to this, and even intentionally Unintentionally suppressing General Gu Lu, and allowing the court officials to make things difficult for Bi Yaner, it is possible that he is not happy to see the war on the northern border, so that it is not enough for him to fight to determine the age, and to fight again will determine the world. Such ambitions, To put it bluntly, it is the ambition of a wolf. The mind and appetite of the soldier in white are much bigger than his adoptive father. He is indeed a young man who has been scolded as a wolf. If he is in our Beimang, he will have an ambition Fatty Dong is already a headache for me, and with the addition of him, how will I arrange for the three of you? Between him and Dong Zhuo, there is only one destined to take the lead in the Southern Dynasty. I have already rewarded him with all the Rouran cavalry in the three towns of Rouxuan, Laohuai and Wuchuan, which is not much different from Dong Zhuo's current force. If he loses, It can only be blamed that he only has the blessing of being a master of the rivers and lakes, and does not have the Huangzi fate to compete in the world. But to be honest, Fatty Dong is still pleasing in his life, and Hong Jingyan, who has "eyes but no pearls", is annoying at first glance. Postscript, you must have died a long time later than me, if someone surnamed Hong dares to collude with the clan and want to be the emperor behind the scenes, then he will be killed regardless of whether you retire or not."
The man said flatly: "Dong Zhuo can also do this kind of conspiracy."
The old woman laughed and said: "It's okay, who told me to like this fat man with all my heart? After I ascended the throne and proclaimed myself emperor, he was the only one who dared to call me the emperor's sister after Xiong Xinbao. Many, full of bad water, but the worst thing is his bottom line, the bottom line is lower, but there is a bottom line after all, such a person is actually not scary. I am afraid of those guys whose bottom line is erratic, the general has supernatural powers, and Murong Baoding, they are all treacherous people like this, you never know what kind of 'surprise' they will bring you, and what kind of disgusting things they will do. Hand over Beimang to Fatty Dong, Murong Yelu, Don't be afraid to cut off."
The man who was only called by his surname fell silent again. The old woman finished drinking the glutinous rice syrup wine in the pot that she had brewed herself, held it in her arms, and said with emotion: "When I was young, I was displaced, and I went to Liyang and Liao, and I met Xu, who was not lame at that time. At that time, I didn’t fall in love at first sight. I just thought this man was interesting. Later, Xu Xiao walked out of Liaodong and climbed to the top step by step. Being able to stand out, after a long time, I had already put it down back then, but I picked it up again after many years, and I was a little unwilling. But this kind of love between children, I can only think about it. If I want to go back and choose again, I will still choose it at the beginning. Going back to Beimang. If I really want to spend my whole life for a man, I will be so bored that I want to kill someone. After the First Battle of Xileibi, I even wrote to Xu Xiao, urging him to follow the general trend and establish himself as emperor. I was in Beimang To echo him from a distance, I promised that in the future I would go south, and he would go north, just like when I first met him in Jinzhou, he shared the big pie, one person and half, divided Liyang together, and ruled from the north to the south. But he refused, of course, it really arrived On that day, I will also regret it. How can we really rule the world together? It’s hard to raise a villainous woman, and I count as a villainous woman, so in this world, who can afford it? It’s the same if he is Xu Xiao, I will raise him Not too far!"
The old woman sighed, "The three armies commit suicide to put an end to the chaos. You and those generals have done a good job in calming down the situation. Only when the people are reborn can there be no chaos, so they don't have the idea of revolting. It's okay. It's a pity that the general situation is still not in Beimang, so I have to wait for me and seize the day and night. Don't look at Beimang winning four big battles, but Liyang has always been only injured, far from being broken. There is a blue eye who plans the overall situation , to join hands with Gu Jiantang to build the eastern front of the border, the further back, the smaller the advantage of Beimang, when Liyang has completely eaten Chunqiu and gained enough strength, it's time to beat our neighbor to death. So when I die Before now, no matter what the ending is, we will have a fight when the peace order comes back. As for whether to go with Liyang or Beiliang, I am still hesitating. There are both advantages and disadvantages. , all insisted on fighting Liyang first, and gave an example that the old emperor of the Zhao family listened to Yuan Benxi's words, and he did not hesitate to bite down Xichu first, and then eat the Southern Tang and Xishu. A large number of young and strong generals in the country insisted on conquering Beiliang first, and then annexed Xishu and Nanzhao in one go, forming a pattern of confrontation between the east and the west. The rest Taiping Ling and Fatty Dong still insisted on their own views. Many people felt that since they had to face Xu Xiao's 300,000 cavalry, and Chen Zhibao was guarding the West Shu, it would be better to go to the east line with Gu Jiantang alone to gain advantage. What about me? When it comes to fighting for favor in the harem, Zhao Zhi in Tai’an City has to learn from me, but it’s ridiculous to say something about the life and death of the dynasty. As long as you encounter a headache that is difficult to make a decision, there is an easy way, toss a copper coin to guess the pros and cons, and listen to God, what should I do. Do I want to throw a copper coin too? Tuoba, do you have any on you right now?"
The middle-aged man probably thought it was absurd, this time he didn't even shake his head, and his body didn't move at all.
In front of him, the old woman who didn't claim to be a self-proclaimer or a widow laughed at herself, "You are so simple, why did you get so angry on the bank of the Yellow River and kill our real Qilin?"
The man sneered and said: "Pretending to be a ghost. If you are not in a hurry to go to the northern ice field, what is going on, you will be slaughtered, except for the national teacher Yuan Qingshan himself, so your majesty will not worry."
The old woman smiled and put her arms around the old fur coat that was finally found out from the bottom of the box, and said softly: "How the imperial court should deal with the world, Li Yang learned from our Bei Mang. At the beginning, Xu Xiaoma stepped on the ground. Jianghu, thankless, the imperial court, Jianghu, and Xu Xiao, who is used to being blamed and insulted, did not succeed. An emperor who wields power in his own hands competes with warriors in person, which not only loses value, but also damages his reputation. It is better to let the people of the Jianghu scramble to fight for their lives, which is the best method. However, if you support a few powerful people in the Jianghu, you must also be careful not to let them form a trend that cannot be lost. A powerful family who produces a large number of talents is tantamount to arsenal, if you are pointed at your back, you will suffer even more.”
The groom frowned and said, "What about the Daodezong and Chess Sword Yuefu who are the leaders in the Jianghu of Beimang?"
The old woman wrote lightly: "One is desperately seeking that longevity, and the other is desperately mixing with the secular world. They both have weaknesses and can't make waves. I will give you 20,000 soldiers and horses for the Bodhisattva. Isn't it fair?"
The man nodded.
The old woman shook the jug, "That woman and Murong Baoding's illegitimate child who was hidden in the spider web, if it wasn't for the catastrophe in Liyang this time and being beaten back to my original shape, I would have been fooled by Li Mibi, But this old man also has his difficulties, so I won't bother with him this time. No wonder I couldn't find it even after scraping the ground three feet before, so it was hidden under my nose. A piece of willow, a piece of willow, really Planting willows will create shade, and there is the ability to cut weeds that are hard to get rid of by the roots."
The man will not comment on this scandalous secret involving the royal family. In his whole life, Tuoba Bodhisattva has only been interested in the two things of practicing martial arts and leading soldiers, whether it is a beauty or an official. Dispensable external objects.
Empress Beimang glanced at the sky, and said with a soft smile: "In the past, the Zhao family wished that the Xu family's child would die early and be reborn early, and wait until he did not die young, and decided that the kid was the same as Xu lame, and would not rebel. Vote for Beimang. Now I am happy to squeeze out a smile, waiting to see the big joke that Beiliang's 300,000 cavalry fight to the death. Anyway, their Zhao family is making money. If this kid is a little bit more cunning, show a little If you are in a hurry from Liyang, I dare to defect to Beimang's Yixin, so I won't have to work so hard. But then again, if this child is such a 'smart' King of Beiliang, Beimang will be no threat, Chen Zhibao Most likely, he will not leave Beiliang either. Whether the next King of Beiliang will support him on the western front will be related to whether Chen Zhibao can conquer the world in one battle. Otherwise, the Zhao family is best at killing donkeys. Considering him highly, he can only honestly be an old Shu king with only 30,000 to 40,000 elite soldiers in his hands. To be trusted by the king, but not to be trusted by the king, is not a blessing, but a catastrophe. This son of the Zhao family, what? It's all good, but the stomach is too small, not as good as a woman like me, and the stubborn Xu Zizi deserves such a bad luck for such a new owner."
Tuoba Bodhisattva, the army god of the Northern Mang, spoke freely, and said calmly: "If I were Xu Xiao, after the white clothes case, it would have been reversed."
It can be vaguely seen that the graceful Empress Beimang smiled and said: "So you will never become a man who can make me, Wu Su, and Zhao Zhi three women never forget. A man, occasionally childish, full of murderous looks, seems to be admirable. The spirit of immortality and Buddha is actually the icing on the cake. Only brotherly loyalty and human kindness are the things that can help in the snow. A man doesn't even talk about the minimum friendship, and we women don't even look straight. In this world, never There is no shortage of smart people, and there are only a few fools who don't want to live an easy life. Xu Xiao, Ren Tu and the king of Beiliang, are also fools. It's a pity, this old fool who has been looking at the world with a silly smile, has seen you and me After that, you will die of old age.”
