In the lobby of the Duhu Mansion, Yan Wenluan looked at the young man in the main seat wearing a black embroidered golden python robe, and for some reason, he was a little distracted, remembering that when the general put on the Liangwang blue satin python robe, he and Zhong Hongwu, Liu Yuanji and others couldn't help but leaned forward to touch a few, but these old guys, except for He Zhonghu and Chen Yunchui, were still standing in the house, Zhong Hongwu was dead, Wei Tieshan and Liu Yuanji retired from the army and went home to retire . As for the younger group, let's say the general has six adopted sons, but now only half of them are left. Yan Wenluan, as an important boss on the mountain in Zhao Changling, naturally had high hopes for Chen Zhibao. In the heart of the old man, the best day in Beiliang was the day when Xu Fengnian was sitting outside the battle between Chen Zhibao and Chen Zhibao in Liangzhou. Unfortunately, he would never see this in his life. It's a scene. Yan Wenluan withdrew his mind. At this time, Xu Fengnian was asking Chu Lushan about the movements of the main force of the Beimang army. Chu Lushan couldn't give a definite answer to this, even though the Beiliang spies and crossbowmen had suffered huge losses, and Dong Zhuo's messy soldiers and horses Scheduling also made the Duhufu feel confused. It was like a master of the astronomical realm confronting a master of the lower realm of Zhixuan. On the ground, he punches first, but he is not afraid of messing up his own position.
Xu Fengnian joked: "The large-scale defense change of hundreds of thousands of troops is not a child's play. It means that an astronomical amount of food, grass and soldiers are needed to support it. Is Fatty Dong showing off his strong family background to us in Beiliang?"
As one of the border commanders, Gu Dazu has a more pure relationship with the King of Xinliang compared to Yan Wenluan, Chen Yunchui and He Zhonghu, three veterans of similar rank. After all, when they met outside Beiliang back then, they were regarded as honored guests invited by Xu Fengnian , so Gu Dazu had a lot of "leeway" between his words, and at this time he smiled and echoed: "Anyway, it's not really the property of the king of the Southern Court, so it doesn't hurt to squander it."
Chu Lushan crossed his hands and fingers in front of his chest, resting his thick arms on the handle of the chair, narrowed his eyes, and moved his lips slightly, as if he was talking to himself.
Xu Fengnian looked at Gu Dazu, and before he said anything, the number one general in the old Southern Tang Kingdom straightened his waist, straightened his clothes, and said with a clear heart: "The King of Liang wants to ask whether he can fight outside the border?"
Xu Fengnian nodded. The subjugation of the old Southern Tang Dynasty was due to the fact that Gu Jiantang gave Gu Jiantang all the initiative on the battlefield with both hands. The elite troops were all shrunk into the territory, which led to the destruction of the navy first, and then the more reasonable defeat. Otherwise, according to the strategy of taking care of the Great Ancestor, Gu Jiantang would have to pay at least 200,000 more casualties when he conquered Nantang, and the more important thing is that by then, Nantang will be able to take advantage of this and not be afraid to fight to the death. A lesson from the past is a guide for the future. Beiliang claims to have 300,000 cavalry. Of course, not all of the 300,000 frontier troops are cavalry. The rich reserve of ten thousand war horses is definitely the reason why Beiliang dared to fight with Beimang. It can be said that if Beiliang has no worries and if the imperial court has enough support, such an invincible cavalry army with impeccable equipment and combat power can take the initiative to look for opportunities on the northwest border. It is very simple. Northern Mang and the Southern Dynasties are considered narrow Beiliang, and they can attack from all sides. On a single battlefield, they always maintain a numerical advantage. Taking ten thousand steps back, even if the Northern Liang Cavalry Army and the Northern Mang Frontier Army Even if you are even a little inferior, you can eat to the bone without any suspense, and then resupply a little before moving to the next battlefield. The current dilemma facing Beiliang is that the imperial court has made up its mind to watch the fire from the other side. Not only is there no way to retreat in the direction of Western Shu, but after the turmoil in Jizhou and Yuan Tingshan becoming a powerful force in Jibei, even Beiliang's right rib has become Not a big or small hidden danger. It was true that Gu Jiantang had no way to mix sand inside Beiliang, but it was still a breeze to do something between Liangliao and Beiliang.
Gu Dazu let it go, and said with a playful smile: "It's not impossible, it depends on whether Beiliang has the courage."
Yan Wenluan smiled and said: "General Gu mentioned something two days ago, roughly meaning that it is not difficult to guard the gourd mouth with the current Youzhou soldiers and horses, and the Youzhou infantry is enough to do it. With more cavalry, Jizhou can be wiped out, and Beiliang can be expanded to a greater extent. At that time, regardless of whether Liangzhou or Youzhou are in a stalemate, the 30,000 Qingqi can circle an arc and directly insert themselves into Longyaozhou. In this way, there is no deadlock in Beiliang where we can only be passively beaten. But Jizhou..."
When Yan Wenluan said this, he left it blank on purpose. He Zhonghu and Chen Yunchui crossed their eyes, and then both looked at Xu Fengnian. Since the beginning of the summer in the first year of Xiangfu, today's son has shown a posture that puzzles the government and the public. Even if Yang Shenxing was unfavorable in the army, even if Yan Zhenchun's cavalry army was wiped out, His Majesty the Emperor did not show much anger. Although Lu Shengxiang's position as commander-in-chief was precarious, it was not caused by the unfavorable battle situation, but it was such a bleak situation at the beginning, but now it is showing signs of becoming more and more stable. Among them, after Yan Zhenchun's death in battle, it can be said that he is extremely honorable , posthumously titled Wujie, posthumously titled Jingzhonghou, and his only son, Yan Dadan, immediately received an extraordinary promotion. Yang Shenxing was trapped and lost all the face of the court, but it is said that a secret letter was sent to Datianting, which added a lot of firewood for the impeachment of the chief assistant Zhang Julu by Jin Lanting of the Imperial Academy. It should have saved the lives of the Yang family, and it may not be impossible to return in the future Jizhou. Compared with Guangling Road, which is retreating steadily and full of gunpowder and smoke, the emperor of the Zhao family obviously devoted more attention to Jizhou, where the clouds are calm and the wind is breezy. Many memorials have been personally approved. This group of military leaders like Luan is well aware that today's son is far less wary of Cao Changqing, the remnants of Western Chu who are making trouble under his nose, than the Beiliang iron cavalry who "the sky is high and the emperor is far away".
Xu Fengnian did not give a direct answer, but said softly: "Chen Zhibao cut off the west line of Liyang, which should be the first step of Yuanbenxi's layout of the world. The second step is to make Jizhou approach step by step. In the past, Yang Shenxing worked hard in this regard. If he can't catch it, even if he wants to check and balance Beiliang, even his tens of thousands of Jinan veterans are powerless. The court simply let him go to Guangling Road to run into a wall. Therefore, the local forces in Jizhou were pulled from the bottom of the pot. Taking this opportunity, the court needs to be trustworthy. To fill in the blanks, not only must he be able to convince the crowd, but he must also have the guts to challenge Beiliang. That Yuan Madgou's rise to the top is no accident because of a deal between Yuan Benxi and Gu Jiantang. Yuan Benxi can further challenge Beiliang. With hands and feet tied, Gu Jiantang can feel more at ease on the periphery of the eastern front, and everyone is happy."
Gu Dazu sneered and said: "This mad dog really wants to be superior. How can the seat of Jizhou's new master be so easy to sit in? Beiliang really can't stop it. Compared with Xishu, Jizhou is a softer persimmon. The first He must be beaten into a sieve by Beimang cavalry, otherwise why would Gu Jiantang not let his son go to Jizhou? Even if Yuan Tingshan is the son-in-law of the Gu family, can he really be compared with his own son?"
Chu Lushan laughed and said: "Wealth and wealth are sought in the face of danger. Small people always have this kind of virtue when they go to the gambling table. If they want to gamble, they gamble big. They are never afraid of ruining their fortunes. Speaking of it, we fought with our adoptive father from north to south, and it was the same. Put yourself to death and come back to life. Yuan Tingshan is not lovable, but he is definitely very interesting."
Xu Fengnian suddenly turned his head to look at Yan Wenluan, and asked, "General Yan, assuming you only have infantry in Youzhou, how many Beimang troops can you block?"
Yan Wenluan said without hesitation: "A gourd mouth outside Daomaguan can bring down 150,000 to 60,000 Beimang troops, plus the pair of General Honglu Cao Xiaojiao and Hong Xinjia can attack and defend on the border. There is also Hu Kui Huangfu Ping in Youzhou territory, 300,000. It is no problem to block the 300,000 Beimang army with Youzhou infantry. But there is naturally a time limit for blocking, but this time limit is enough for 30,000 Qingqi's rescue in an emergency, or attack."
Xu Fengnian smiled and said: "That's all right, these 30,000 Qingqi will enter Jizhou from now on."
Veteran Chen Yunchui's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Don't you want to say hello to the imperial court?"
Xu Fengnian asked back: "Our Northern Liang just sent two or three thousand cavalry troops to Jizhou to borrow a place to practice martial arts. Do we need to say hello deliberately? That's too far from His Majesty the Emperor. Besides, after going to Jizhou, After all, the imperial court will know one day, so isn’t that the same as saying hello? It’s a big deal to hand over a document to the Ministry of War at that time.”
Xu Weixiong, who was sitting next to Xu Fengnian, laughed softly, "Obviously, we in Beiliang are reasonable."
Chen Yunchui suppressed a smile, and He Zhonghu, who was also in a good mood, couldn't help laughing, "My lord, the difference between three thousand and thirty thousand seems a bit big."
He Zhonghu waved his hand and said: "There is a difference of more than 20,000 between 3,000 and 30,000, not 30,000 and 300,000. Whoever cares about it will care about it. Besides, that Lu Shangshu of the Ministry of War is still our prince's relatives and seniors." Whether it's helping relatives or managing, Tangxi Sword Immortal seems to be able to help in any way."
Xu Fengnian stretched out his hands and rubbed his face, and asked: "This cavalry army used to be scattered with generals and lieutenants. When we go to Jizhou, who will lead the army? Do you have any suitable candidates?"
As the commander-in-chief of the 160,000 infantry army in Beiliang, it should not be appropriate for Yan Wenluan to intervene. After all, this is a family matter of the cavalry. Yuan Zuozong can speak, Chu Lushan can speak, and even some infantry generals can speak freely. Only this The position of the famous general of the Spring and Autumn Period is too prominent, so he should be silent instead. But Yan Wenluan still had something to say, "I have two candidates, as the chief and deputy commanders respectively. The commander must use soldiers to be more serious than righteous, and the deputy commander must be relatively prudent, more positive than strange, so that the two can complement each other without The pace of this cavalry army is too lame. The deputy commander can be taken by Zhong Tianheng, who is under my command. As for the commander, the prince needs to employ people who are eclectic."
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "Just say it, the old general."
Yan Wenluan glanced at Chu Lushan, and said, "Then I have to borrow someone from Chu Duhu."
Chu Lushan stared and said: "No! I won't borrow even if I'm killed. That kid is an indispensable and important person in the Duhufu, and he is also my right-hand man. I will rely on this kid to help me in the future!"
Xu Fengnian was unavoidably puzzled, who could make Lu Qiuer and Yan Wenluan fall in love with each other
Yan Wenluan snorted coldly, "It's not me who borrowed someone from you, it's the prince who wants someone from you!"
Xu Weixiong said calmly: "Yu Luan Dao is indeed qualified to lead this cavalry army."
Xu Fengnian suddenly realized.
Chu Lushan sighed with an expression of tens of catties of flesh cut off in an instant.
Xu Fengnian smiled and said: "Then it's settled, let's take a look at the topographic map of Jizhou and discuss how the 30,000 people should go."
When a group of people walked up to the case, someone had already brought two maps, one was the geography of the whole territory of Jizhou, and the other was the topographic map of the west of Jizhou. In the Beiliang military, there were countless such maps.
When Xu Fengnian asked Yu Luan to come over, he stood in front of several cases, looked around, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "From today onwards, we in Beiliang will do what we should do. If the imperial court and Jizhou dare to point fingers, Then cut off those hands and feet directly! In the future, if there is a conflict with any forces outside Beiliang, there is no need to specifically inform the Qingliangshan Palace, just do it first, and after it is done, the Palace will help to finish it."
Yan Wenluan, Chen Yunchui, these old generals let out a long breath almost at the same time.
This mouthful of resentment against the imperial court for nearly twenty years was finally able to express it openly.
