In the north and south of the river, autumn has come, and the cicadas hanging on the trees are doing their last neighing, which is really disturbing.
The branches go up in spring, and the branches go down in autumn, a word of worry, just like this, it goes up and down, and it comes to my heart.
In the late autumn of the first year of Xiangfu, the land of the Central Plains was once again full of smoke, which made many old people who had experienced wars in the Spring and Autumn Period feel terrified. In particular, Guangling Road, which is second only to southern Xinjiang in terms of territory, has been raging and showing no signs of extinguishing.
In the official history of Liyang, Great Chu became Western Chu, and Divine Phoenix City was renamed Dingding City. Now those historians have even thought of a new wording, and Western Chu was replaced by Later Chu. Even though they have been unfavorable for the orthodox Liyang court, they still don't think that this group of dead souls and wild ghosts who should have died with the wind along with the Spring and Autumn Period can really achieve great things. In fact, as long as Gu Jiantang, the second Great Pillar Kingdom after Xu Xiao, did not move his position or retreat southward from the northern frontier defense, it meant that the situation was still in the hands of the imperial court.
The woman whose real name is Jiang Si did not leave the city with the uncle who waited for chess. She was sitting quietly in this huge "home" at this time. She was as absent-minded as she was when she walked into Bailu Cave, but she listened carefully to every word, but she didn't make a sound, and she didn't even think about using her transcendent identity to dictate military affairs. Cao Changqing came to the bank of Guangling River in person and sat on the flagship of the naval division. Together with the young general Kou Jianghuai, he and the young general Kou Jianghuai pointed at the Spring Snow Building owned by Guangling King Zhao Yi. Jiang Ni is used to hearing good news. First, the fledgling Pei Sui teamed up with Xie Xizhen, not only to defend the important town of Kuihuo, but also to take advantage of the opportunity to invite the king into the urn. In one fell swoop, the 40,000 Jinan veterans led by the famous Spring and Autumn General Yang Shenxing, who underestimated the enemy, were nailed to death. In the Qingyang Basin, this was just the first round of the strategy to lure the enemy. Xie Xizhen soon fought a bone-to-shoulder tough battle. Yan Zhenchun's 30,000 Yan family's elite cavalry were wiped out. At the same time, Kou Jianghuai took advantage of the situation to move eastward, and his combat achievements were only slightly inferior to Xie Xizhen's. He walked the street by the nose of several direct troops of Zhao Yi's army. Yang's expectation. According to what the old grand master said just now, Kou Jianghuai's method of dividing troops is like a sieve, and Zhao Yi's western defense line has been beaten like a sieve. There are three places in Huozao Mountain, and the Great Chu Navy greatly frightened the main force of Zhao Yi's rear army, and they dare not easily go to the western front to fill in the holes. Which place to fight first, in the eyes of outsiders, Kou Jianghuai is quite suspicious of supporting the army, never reporting the war intention to the imperial city, and even rarely consulting with Cao Changqing who is close at hand.
The six ministries of the three provinces of Chu, which have a large scale, are not without criticism. Some people have already advised to transfer the more prudent Xie Xizhen to the east front, and then transfer the rebellious Kou Jianghuai to the west. Above all, Huainan King Zhao Ying and Jing'an King Zhao Xun, together with the soldiers and horses of Liyang's several great vassal kings, can't compare to those who dare to compete with Beiliang for the number one army in the world, no matter in terms of numbers or strength. Zhao Yi has such a thick arm, so the old man of the Kou family tremblingly went to the palace to plead guilty two days ago. On the sidelines, Mr. Kou, who was nearly eighty years old, was beaten hard. Jiang Ni looked at the back of the kneeling old man after he stood up and turned around, soaked in sweat, and when he thought about the court, even she could see that some officials from the three provinces and six departments had already started At the beginning of a struggle for power, she, who did not wait for Uncle Zhao to be the backbone, suddenly felt a strong sense of powerlessness.
The old grand master who was in good spirits took a sip of tea to quench his thirst, put down the cup, and said with a smile: "The old minister has a little knowledge of military affairs, so I don't dare to speculate on Kou Jianghuai's next move, but the old minister thinks, as long as he can get rid of Kou Jianghuai. In any one of the three places in Suangzhuang County, Song Li, Zhao Yi's lucky general, must be in a state of distress from the very beginning of his tenure."
Sun Xiji thought for a while, dipped his finger in the tea, and ordered three o'clock on the stone table, "In summer, Kou Laoer brought Kou Jianghuai to visit, and I heard this young man's opinion, which was never seen in ancient books. He said something he had never written before. He said that future wars will gradually tend to be wars in the wild, and the proportion of sieges and villages will be less and less. , is nothing more than the essence of the three characters of point, line and surface. Kou Jianghuai said that he pays more attention to the "line" than anyone else, and his soldiers and horses will definitely know how to move quickly and long-distance raids best. The enemy, but at certain important moments, it is necessary to use the more to bully the less, not to win unnecessary battles, but to eat a large number of elite troops of the opponent alone."
The old man was in a good mood, and said: "At first, the old minister thought that it was just this yellow-mouthed boy who became famous in the Shangyin Academy, bullying the old minister and showing off his knowledge on paper. Now that he thinks about it carefully, Kou Jianghuai really has a plan in mind."
Sun Xiji smiled and said: "I heard that Chunxue Tower has issued a death order to Liu Louya of Huozao Mountain in the Wushou Pass. Once Huozao is lost, all the generals above the captain, even if they escape alive, must carry it obediently." Head to see Zhao Yi."
When the old man said this, he seemed to think of something, and said with emotion: "I also remembered what Xie Xizhen said, the enemy's attack and defense are actually attacking the mind, and it depends on who can grasp the mentality and the general trend. This makes the old minister have to mention that Chen Zhibao, this person is known as the Saint of Soldiers in White Clothes because he is not only good at generalizing soldiers, but also likes to ponder other people's thoughts. In this way, Xie Xizhen and Kou Jianghuai are like his disciples of Chen Zhibao, each with their own strengths ...Of course, as the battle progresses, the potential of the two of them will be tapped even more. As for how high they can go, it largely depends on whether the civil servants who participate in the court meeting every day are holding back... "
A big eunuch walked quickly into the courtyard, bent down and handed in an urgent military intelligence report for six hundred miles, and then bowed back, without saying a word from the beginning to the end, and there was no complicated etiquette. People who are used to this Sun Xiji opened it and saw that it was sent by Cao Changqing. The old man smiled, looked at Her Royal Highness, and said with joy, "This Kou Jianghuai is determined to give the old minister who chews his ears a blow. With Changqing's words I guess no one dares to speak in a short period of time. Your Highness, look, Song Li obviously wants to take the risk with one hand, and put all his eggs in one basket to use the red ditch in front of Huozao Mountain as a bait. Fishing Kou Jianghuai, a big fish that is elusive, and at the same time using his own troops to bypass the Red Date Mountain, the general would never have guessed that Kou Jianghuai had indeed bit the bait, but Song Li still didn't lift the rod. Chance, in an hour and a half, Kou Jianghuai wiped out 4,000 people in Hongshuigou in only an hour and a half. After eating the bait with lightning speed, he quickly withdrew for eighty miles, and waited until the marching speed was fast enough. Song Li rushed to Hongshuigou, and the day lily was cold."
Sun Xiji laughed loudly, "It's not that this battle is too big, it's just that it's really satisfying to let Song Li suffer as soon as he takes office. This is like adding insult to injury for Chunxuelou. For Kou Jianghuai, it kills three birds with one stone. Suppressed Song Li's arrogance, ate up Hongshuigou's troops, and at the same time left our group of guys who stood and talked without back pain having nothing to say. No wonder Zhang Qing wanted to add a sentence to the espionage, "The east line is back to the bandits, and the north line is thanks to the bandits. The two use troops to dispatch, and they can do what they want." Well, one of them can do what he wants!"
Jiang Ni asked softly: "Isn't the commander of Liyang Nanzheng, Lu Shengxiang, a famous spring and autumn general with outstanding military exploits? There is also General Longxiang Xu Gong, who is also a general who is praised by his uncles for his wisdom and bravery. No need? Besides, we have Xie Xizhen and Kou Jianghuai here, so the enemy camp doesn’t have such young generals?”
The old man suppressed his smile, and said patiently: "This is like the chess pioneered by Huang Sanjia. The distance between the generals and soldiers of our Fang Dachu is clear, and each has a position. Those who should be in the battle should be in the battle, and those who should lead the army. But the distance on the other side of the boundary In the Yang court, Zhao Jiaweng claimed to have all the talents in the world. There are too many people and moves under Zhao's emperor's hands, densely packed, but crowded together. For example, Lu Sheng is at the critical line of Xiangbing, but crowded in In front of him, there is Yang Shenxing and Yan Zhenchun first, and then there is the next Spring and Autumn Veteran. It is not his turn to be a military servant with a shallow foundation. Neither a Beijing official nor a veteran, if you want to lead the army on your own, you first need to fight a bloody path in your own camp."
Jiang Ni sighed, listening to the cicadas chirping, a little disturbed that could not be concealed.
The old man smiled, looked up at the evergreen trees that were still green and gloomy in autumn, then got up and said casually before resigning, "The sound of cicadas doesn't bother me, so I am heartbroken."
Jiang Ni was in a daze, muttering to herself.
She doesn't want to admit that, compared to this home, the only one in this world comparable to the Tai'an City Imperial Palace, she always thinks of that small house on the mountain, which is not big but belongs to her alone, where the summer is hot It is extremely cold in winter, with a small hard bed and mended windows, always looking at each other silently with the dilapidated quilts of the brothers and sisters. During those years there, there was not even a word of flattery, only the sarcastic remarks of the handymen and maids, but the malice was shown on everyone's face, she could understand and recognize it, and hated it, but she never felt it in her heart. No bottom. You don't need to think about the intrigue behind those respectful and solemn faces like now, and you don't need to shoulder the burden on your own shoulders.
Occasionally, she would return to her hut in Wudang Mountain in her dreams, dreaming that she was tending the small vegetable garden that was always full of green eyes, and dreaming that she was squatting in the vegetable garden, stretching out her fingers and carefully counting the harvest.
After she was able to fly with the sword, she has seen too many spectacular scenes in the world, but these scenes are forgotten after seeing them.
Many years ago, at this time, an idle boy took a branch and slapped a chilling and miserable tree, then turned to a girl with a hippie smile and said, "I know, I know, I know what a fart! Little clay figurine, do you know?" ?”
At this time, Jiang Ni blurted out subconsciously, just like before.
"I know your ass!"
At that time, the young man laughed out loud with one hand, pointed at her with a branch with the other, and said with a giggle, "Little clay figurine, you understand me! If I can't find a wife in the future, you can make up the number!"
