In the morning mist, a group of people rode out from the south gate of Hutou City, and then parted ways.
Qifu Longguan changed his body into Beiliang Qingqi's armored swordsman, and at the same time he got a brand new household certificate, and his name was changed to Qifu Longguan. From today onwards, he is a member of the Beiliang Frontier Army. When he left the city, The young people who betrayed Beimang always stroked the saber in their waists from time to time. The Beiliang saber is known as "the heroic Xu style", which means that the swords of the current generation must be made in the style of the Xu family's saber. Qifu Longguan knew that if this saber was sold in the royal court, it would be impossible to get it without five hundred taels of silver, and there was no market for it. Countless members of the royal family and Grassland Xitiao would be able to collect all of Xu's sabers. proud of. Qifu Longguan, who is poor and used to owning such a knife, straightens his waist, and always feels that he is now a rich man with a lot of money! But there is a secret that makes the young knight feel more ecstasy than cold swords and light crossbows and household registration status. The king of Beiliang taught him an unknown sword manual and a set of Wudang mental methods. Qifu Longguan was full of pride at this time, and he was also willing to go to the battlefield to fight for the young Xinliang King.
He followed the order of the King of Beiliang and escorted Princess Hongyan to Liuzhou. As long as this girl surnamed Yelu was thrown on the border, he could leave it alone. At that time, he could go directly to the Dragon Elephant Army. After that, he would fight in Liangmang Whether he lives or dies depends on his own creation.
Yelu Hongcai hesitated for a moment, turned the horse's head, and speeded up the whip. After catching up with Xu Feng, he stopped the horse and blocked the road, and said in a deep voice, "You put me back to Beimang just like that?"
Xu Fengnian said with a smile: "Or else? Let Yu Chanzhou hold a festival to redeem you with a mountain of gold and silver? Even if your father is willing to pay the money, you are doomed to not be able to go back alive. A serious princess will be arrested by Beiliang Living as a prisoner, the Yelu family may not be able to lose face."
Yelu Hongcai hesitated to speak.
Xu Fengnian waved his hands and said, "Your life and death have nothing to do with the overall situation, so don't take yourself too seriously."
Yelu Hongcai said with a playful smile: "I originally wanted to reveal to you the movements of the Beimang army, but since you don't want to listen to my calculations and guesses, then forget it."
Xu Fengnian was still not the slightest bit curious, and said calmly: "Continue to block the way, are you not afraid that I will go back on my word?"
The sable-faced woman narrowed her eyes, her face sank like water, she slammed her whip hard, and passed by this hideous guy.
Xu Fengnian and Tantai Pingping continued on their way to Huaiyang Pass. Seeing the questioning gaze of this qi trainer master, Xu Fengnian smiled youngly and said, "With Yelu Hongcai's scheming, we can't expect her to tell the truth, maybe she will tell the truth." She will lie about the military situation to intimidate me once, rather than be tossed into paranoia by her words, it is better not to listen."
Tantai smiled calmly and said: "My intuition tells me that once this woman speaks, she will be telling the truth."
Xu Fengnian laughed at himself, "Sounds like a big loss?" But he didn't call back the Princess Hongyan who might be a bodhisattva once in a while, Tantai smiled calmly and stopped talking. She is tall, but she is a hundred years old but has a childlike face forever, and she is dressed in snow-white clothes. When she is galloping, her clothes are fluttering, like a huge white lotus blooming on the desert. At this time and this scene, it should be said that "astonishing as heaven and man".
After the two were silent for a while, Tantai Pingping suddenly asked curiously: "Bei Mang has a big debate about Beiliang, who is fighting on the west front, or the east front of the Liyang Dynasty. If it wasn't for the mysterious emperor master from Qijian Yuefu, Both Dong Zhuo and the new King of the South Court insisted on going to Beiliang first. I am afraid that now it is a joke for you Beiliang to look at Gu Jiantang. In addition, most of the Beimang generals and the festival-holders, as well as the most powerful people on the grassland Those of you who read all think that it is more cost-effective to fight on the Eastern Front. After all, if you defeat the two Liao defense lines, you can go straight to Tai'an City, and even hope to echo the Western Chu's restoration of the country in Guangling Road, making Liyang's army exhausted and unable to move forward. Echoing, the two dynasties ebb and flow. Why would the Empress Beimang resist all opinions and agree to fight against Beiliang? Isn’t this exactly in the hands of the Zhao family emperor? What’s more, even if Beiliang is defeated , there is still Chen Zhibao's Xishu as a buffer..."
Xu Fengnian smiled and interrupted Tantai's calm words, "It's very simple, Beimang can attack Beiliang with all its strength, but they definitely don't dare to go to the east line of Liyang like this, because they don't dare to show their butts to Beiliang. The Wanbian army, the Beiliang cavalry army that has experienced many battles, not only has unparalleled mobility, but also is extremely familiar with the desert terrain and long-distance raids. Beimang dared to take 200,000 soldiers and horses to sit and drink with Gu Jiantang Enjoying the moon with tea, if it was changed to Beiliang, they would have eaten all their bones, and then swaggered straight in, and the whole Southern Dynasty would suffer. It wasn't that Taiping Ling and Fatty Dong didn't know about Liyang court's small calculations, but they There is no choice, if you don’t eat Beiliang in one go, go to the east line that looks simple but actually runs through Zhang Julu, Gu Jiantang and Chen Zhibao successively, then Beimang is tantamount to wasting national power with Liyang, and in the end The key is... ”
Tantai calmed down, nodded and said, "Understood, as long as the Beiliang Iron Cavalry stays in the northwest for a day, it means that even if the Liyang Dynasty loses the Eastern Front, or even leads to Tai'an City being trapped, they still have enough The initiative to change the stalemate. But if Beimang succeeds in defeating Beiliang in one fell swoop, the initiative will be transferred to the Beiliang empress. Especially the Beiliang iron cavalry, known as the hero of the world, will be wiped out. No matter how much the people of the Central Plains hate Beiliang The Xu family, half of their souls have been lost. Even Beiliang can't stop Beimang's iron hooves going south, so who can stop it?"
Xu Fengnian said with emotion: "Since Zhang Julu took power, he has not been very supportive of the military affairs of the Northwest Border Pass, but he has never been too restrictive. This is also the strength of Lord Shoufu. He seems to be quiet and inactive. The suspicion is actually to help the Liyang Zhao family win a day of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight."
Tantai calmly looked towards Tai'an City in the east, and murmured: "The emperor of the Zhao family has already made a choice between his family and the country. Liyang committed suicide."
Xu Fengnian sneered and said: "So the court waited until the opening of the good show, but the biggest behind-the-scenes hero could not see this day. It was because the new emperor could not suppress the old chief minister, or that too many carp from poor families jumped over the dragon gate. After the carp entered the temple and gradually formed a group, they were all barefoot guys who were not afraid of wearing shoes. They died as soon as they died. Most of the ten poor people are greedy for the feeling of wealth and honor of wearing boots, but as long as there are two or three people who refuse to obey the rules, dare to stiffen their necks against the emperor, and plead for the people all day long, that will be enough for the emperor of the Zhao family to eat a big pot The next Zhao Zhuan to sit on the dragon chair has neither the military exploits of the late emperor to dominate the Central Plains, nor the twenty years of experience to check and balance civil and military officials such as Xu Xiao, Zhang Julu, and Gu Jiantang today. Zhao Zhuan's father is not here Close your eyes and do something, how can you rest assured that the whole world will be handed over to Zhao Zhuan? So he painstakingly hired Qi Yanglong, who was already half in the loess, to be the emperor's teacher. Just die of old age, Zhao Zhuan will be full-fledged by then, and the vassal kings and generals will also have their military power cut off. With the help of ministers like Yin Maochun whose foundations are not deep enough, and the promotion of powerful kings and grandsons to check and balance the former, it will be impossible You don’t have to work as hard as today, just lie down comfortably and be the emperor. Sometimes when I think about that blue-eyed girl, I really feel worthless for him.”
Tantai sighed calmly.
Xu Fengnian laughed at himself: "I just don't know if Mr. Shoufu will feel worthless for Beiliang?"
Tantai asked with a calm smile: "Is there any resentment?"
Xu Fengnian exhaled, and said in a deep voice, "I'm so angry!"
Tantai said calmly: "It happened that Beimang bumped into the tip of Beiliang's knife."
Xu Fengnian glanced at the sky, maybe this year's heavy snow can't cover the blood.
…
The Beiliang Duhu Mansion in Huaiyang Pass is still unbelievably shabby, which makes Huaiyang Captain Huang Laifu very uneasy. Although it can't be said that he has trouble sleeping and eating, every time he goes to the Duhu Lord to participate in military affairs, he feels that it is not That's the thing, those generals who are inseparable with each other just fucking like to stab him with this crap. What are you talking about, Huang Laifu is proud now, and he lives in a more dignified place than Chu Duhu, but it's a pity that the prince didn't get him a general, otherwise he would really be a real big man. Huang Laifu didn't even have a chance to refute this, so he could only accept his fate. Over time, he became the number one joke at the Liangzhou North Line border gate. However, as the atmosphere of the imminent war on the border became more and more intense, these innocuous jokes quickly dissipated. Today, Huang Laifu went to the Duhu Mansion as a routine. Recently, several commanders and commanders were in the mansion, working together to discuss Beimang Huang Laifu is a rough man who knows how to fight but is not good at talking. He can't get in his mouth, but listening to the disputes of those old generals and commanders, he feels very comfortable. He feels that as long as they sit at the border to command and dispatch, Not to mention that the soldiers on the border of Beiliang are strong and unscathed, even if the Hutou city at the front is accidentally lost, and Huang Laifu can go and get it back, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.
Today, when Huang Laifu walked into the lobby of the Duhu Mansion, which was covered with large and small pictures of the situation, he clearly noticed something strange. In the center of the lobby, there was a huge six-foot-long yellow pear wooden table, and there were many fresh faces on both sides of the table. Infantry Commander Yan Wenluan, this Spring and Autumn veteran should be visiting Huaiyang Pass for the first time. One of his sons, Qi Dangguo, the new White Feather Cavalry commander, also stood by. Youzhou Inspector Hu Kui and Youzhou General Huangfuping stood side by side, and the Liangzhou Inspector Wang Peifang, who had just been promoted from Youzhou Inspector, was trembling. Obviously, on this occasion, the fart of any other armored general is more useful than that of a civil servant like him shouting at the top of his voice.
But the person who shocked Huang Laifu the most was Xu Weixiong, the Second Princess!
Sitting in a wheelchair, she staggered her hands and fingers, staring closely at the border situation map on the table.
The Lord Protector of Beiliang held the inkstone in one hand and the pen in the other. The ink in the inkstone was red ink. Standing beside Xu Weixiong, Chu Lushan bent down to draw red lines on the map, and kept talking softly.
Huang Laifu approached on tiptoe, and there were more than 20 people standing on both sides of the case early. He could only find a place by looking for a place, and just heard Chu Lushan whisper: "Before we had a crossbowman who penetrated into the hinterland of Gusai Prefecture and found Liu Gui's army has already set out, and now it can be confirmed that they are heading for Liuzhou. In addition to Liu Gui's 30,000 elite soldiers, there are also four military towns in the south of Wazhu Junziguan. The nobles also took out 30,000 infantry, and the 8,000 Qiang cavalry troops in Gusai Prefecture who held festivals needed attention. Together, these 100,000 troops rushed to the current Liuzhou City, Qing Cang City."
Chu Lushan used a red pen to mark a place north of Qingcang City on the map, "It is obvious that the 30,000 infantry of the Longguan nobles were used as the main force to attack the city."
Then he wiped lightly between Qingcang City and Linyao Army Town, "No accident, it will be the eight thousand Qiang riders waiting here to contain the reinforcements on the west front of Liuzhou. Fight, if you can't fight, run away, Qiang cavalry has no other skills, but the ability to run is first-rate, I have already learned it more than ten years ago."
The generals in the house smiled heartily. In the first Liyang Beimang battle back then, everyone knew that Chu Lushan, who shined in the smoke of gunpowder, had two regrets. Unexpectedly, they failed to hunt down and kill the defeated Qiang cavalry.
Chu Lushan shifted his pen tip and drew a line between Liangzhou and Qingcang City in Liuzhou, "As the main force, Liu Gui's army should be interspersed here..."
Xu Weixiong frowned, and immediately interrupted Chu Lushan's words after hearing this, "Is it just blindly retreating and allowing Liu Gui to infiltrate Liuzhou? Even if there are only 30,000 dragon elephant troops in Liuzhou, there is no need to be so passive."
With his hands behind his back, Gu Dazu bent down and looked at the map, and slowly said: "If Liangzhou and Youzhou can wait at the border, there is really no need for Liuzhou. The 30,000 Dragon Elephant Army only needs to find the main force of Liu Gui's army and defeat it in one fell swoop. The rest of the stragglers are nothing to be afraid of. Outside the gate of Zhanzhiguo, Beiliang has the ability."
He Zhonghu, the deputy commander of the cavalry army, said: "Don't look at Liu Gui's superiority in numbers, such a small force is really not enough to fill the gap between the teeth. Even if Dong Zhuo has a second hand, according to their current deployment, the horse's foot strength in two days It’s too far away to collect the corpse.”
Chu Lushan stretched out two fingers, pinched the scarlet nib, ignored it, just stared at the fingers soaked in a little ink, and said calmly: "The bait is too small to catch big fish."
Chu Lushan suddenly laughed out loud, looking particularly eye-catching in the silent room.
He only heard the protector sticking his thumbs and index fingers together, raised his hands and said with a smile: "Our Beiliang iron cavalry is too powerful, we have to give our opponents a little bit of thought."
