Xu Fengnian originally planned to separate from Yu Luan Dao and You Qi Bu Tui Battalion at the northern junction of Liang You, and then go to Bei Liang Dufu Mansion where Chu Lu Shan is located. Talked to him about military affairs, so Xu Fengnian chose a compromise location and asked the infantry commander, who holds more than 100,000 frontier troops in Beiliang, to wait for him in Yanzhi County. As soon as Yu Dilong heard that he was going to Yanzhi County, the child who had been depressed all the way before finally smiled a little, but it was a pity to learn that Xu Fengnian and Yan Wenluan had an appointment in the county, not the Bi who had been the master for a while. In Shan County, Yu Dilong fell silent again, feeling a sense of disappointment that he never entered the house. Xu Fengnian stayed in an elegant house carefully arranged by the Fushui room in the middle of the night. The group of people just stepped on the threshold before there was a sound of raindrops beating on the roof and courtyard wall behind them.
Xu Fengnian didn't feel sleepy, and when he arrived at the study room with a lot of books, he stood at the window and looked at the rain curtain in the courtyard, probably just like the old saying, the night is the most reminiscent of youth. For no reason, Xu Fengnian recalled many youthful and frivolous actions, such as stamping the word "fake" on no less than a hundred pieces of authentic works by famous masters, and spending a lot of money on foreign rangers who passed through Beiliang's jurisdiction. The Jiangnan celebrity who has been a shortcut to the officialdom for half his life, he is not resentful that his rich poems have been handed down after stealing a high position, and he even sent a post letter, which roughly means that your old man was praised as "" Things like "graceful appearance" can't be regarded as real wealth. If you really want to be rich, you don't talk about fine wine, delicacies, gold, silver, pearls and jade. It ended with the sentence "When it rains, listen to a thousand sounds of plantains, and when it rains, sit and watch the ten thousand brocades in the lake". I heard that the elderly scholastic celebrity was very angry after reading the letter, and soon wrote a letter of impeachment. First, he said that the plantain is not hardy, and the branches and leaves are cracked by the wind. It is difficult to see a single plant in the northwest frontier. There are "one thousand voices" on the mountain, that is, one thousand trees, so this person came to the conclusion, "It must be Xu Xiao, the king of Beiliang, who embezzled the army's salary, filled his own pockets, completely ignored the important affairs of the border, and owed the emperor's favor, so he should be stripped of his title." Of course, at that time, such "righteous and confident" memorials were available in the Liyang court all year round, and the first emperor Zhao Dun ignored them, but there were no restrictions. Xu Fengnian clearly remembered that after he sent the letter, it aroused a heated discussion among scholars in the Jiangnan Dao literary circle, who scolded him, Xu Xiao and Beiliang. The second sister, Xu Weixiong, who just went to Shangyin School to study, returned a book, saying that Xu Fengnian's writing was nonsense, but in the end she wrote a letter to that famous person herself, and then all the famous people in Jiangnan tucked their tails. However, Xu Xiao did not know how to get the letter into his hands afterwards. When he was drinking with his son in the Indus Garden, that was more than flattery, saying that he had to consult Li Yishan for a long time before he understood the "basho" What does "a thousand sounds" mean? After drinking too much, he turned upside down and said that he is really happy. His son is better than his father. He reads a lot. Look, he can compose poetry. In the future, he will definitely be a A feudal lord who is more competent and convincing than Xu Xiao.
Even though Xu Fengnian's memory is far superior to that of ordinary people, but because of his carelessness and coping back then, he doesn't quite remember Xu Xiao's words and expressions now, but Xu Xiao has a movement, even after so many years, the memory is getting deeper and clearer. That was when Xu Xiao walked unsteadily and drunkenly left Wutong Courtyard, he took the letter from Jiangnan Road back to Qingliang Mountain from the wine table, and carefully put it in his sleeve. At that time, Xu Fengnian was a little puzzled. In your life, Xu Xiao, step by step towards the glorious career of an extremely talented minister, even so many imperial decrees for adding officials, ranks and titles have always been piled up indiscriminately. Is it worthy of your seriousness to send something to others or to scold others
Xu Fengnian stood at the window without sleeping all night, it seemed that it was a new morning in the blink of an eye, last night it rained three times on and off, and now his vision was blurred at dawn. Xu Fengnian looked up, the last shower had just stopped, and the sky was still a gloomy scene covered with dark clouds, but as time passed, the sun shone through the gaps in the dark clouds and cast column-shaped rays of light, sprinkled on the ground. There was a dull crashing sound from the courtyard next door. It was Yu Dilong and Lu Yunchang who hadn't followed the Daxue Dragonrider to the Liangzhou North Line for the time being. They were exchanging martial arts. The two apprentices did not use weapons. Unable to take three steps back, he lost. Not long after, the oldest Lu Yunchang, who could only be a junior junior, yelled to get the Dashuang long knife. Yu Dilong, who was probably the youngest but a senior senior, ignored him. The courtyard returned to silence. Xu Fengnian has some regrets. It's not that he is like an official fan in martial arts and "will not leave", nor is he trapped in the feeling of being invincible in the world, but that if his realm is still at the peak, he will not be able to get out of the gourd mouth at that time. As soon as Hui heard that the Northern Mang emperor had Hong Jingyan, Zhong Liang and Murong Baoding as his back-ups, he tied his hands and feet. But having said that, if Xu Fengnian is still a well-deserved new Emperor Wu, Taipingling, Tuoba Qiyun and others will not show up. Xu Fengnian reckoned that he was going to fight with people right now, but only in terms of level of realm, Xu Fengnian was still bigger than a dead camel than a horse, only better than Tuoba Bodhisattva, Deng Tai'a, Cao Changqing, Xu Yanbing, Huyan Daguan, and Chen Zhibao , a small loser, but if it was at this time that life and death were facing each other, Xu Fengnian would put a person whose reputation has plummeted today among the top three, Gu Jiantang.
Xu Fengnian walked out of the study and stood on the steps. An old man in armor, who looked very short and thin compared to Liangdi Jianer, strode into the courtyard alone. Xu Fengnian did not deliberately put on a posture of sweeping the couch to greet him. He went to the study together, there was already a pot of hot tea on the table, but there were no cups, but two big bowls, it was Yan Wenluan's one-eyed old man who poured a bowl and drank it down.
Then Yan Wenluan propped his fists on his knees and looked at Xu Fengnian opposite, as if he wanted to ask the teacher for a crime. Xu Fengnianjing waits for the following, this veteran is the largest mountain in the Northern Liang Army. After the fall of the former cavalry commander Zhong Hongwu, Yuan Zuozong's succession was still short, and Yan Wenluan, who has always firmly held the power of the Beiliang Infantry Army It can be described as a dominance. However, many frontier soldiers and Beiliang people do not know a secret. The Beiliang army, more precisely, the Xu family army, was invisibly divided into two factions from the very beginning. After the Battle of the Wall, Xu Xiao advocated that Xu Xiao immediately go north and return to Beijing, while the other faction, with the more radical Zhao Changling as the core, took down half of the country in one go, and tried their best to advocate self-defense and self-defense. Fight another battle similar to Xileibi to determine the ownership of the world. This kind of potential split spread all the way to the feudal clan after Xu Xiao. Xu Fengnian's uncle Wu Qi was disheartened at that time and chose to leave the army. Under the famous general, there were many people who were also motivated and left Xu Xiao's side. It can be said that the victory of Li Yishan's family was just a tragic victory. In the eyes of many old people who are still in the Beiliang army, this means that Li Yishan single-handedly created Xu Xiao's "home in Beiliang, Zhao Tiantian". Wrong, but very moderate, and more importantly, Zhao Changling died young due to illness, which caused this faction to lose its backbone. In addition, Zhao Changling single-handedly promoted many people, led by Yan Wenluan, the famous general of the Spring and Autumn Period, the leader of the Northern Liang Army He has always been unwilling and afraid to get involved in the "family affairs" of the Xu family, and has decided that after many years, Chen Zhibao will go to Xishu alone as if angry.
Yan Wenluan sighed suddenly, poured himself a bowl of tea, thought for a while, and poured out the bowl in front of Xu Fengnian, the old man picked up the big bowl, and said softly, "For so many years, I have always been in my heart. I have a lump, I have been to Qingliang Mountain so many times, but I deliberately did not go to Chaoge to meet Mr. Li. The general persuaded me once in the past, and gave me a lame excuse to avoid it. After that, the general did not mention this matter gone."
Xu Fengnian didn't make a fuss and say some calm words, but cut straight to the point and said: "My master never regretted his decision before he was alive. He has always believed that if Xu Xiao and the Xu family's cavalry won't have such a big momentum, if they want to fight for the world, those who want to It's wishful thinking to become a minister of the dragon. It's not because Xu Fengnian disrespected Mr. Zhao, nor was it because I didn't feel back pain when I stood up and talked, or I got cheap and acted like a good boy. In Tingchao Pavilion, Master and Wang Jijiu, and my second sister , The three of them had repeated deduction one after another based on the situation at that time, and the conclusions were all the same."
Yan Wenluan looked complicated, took a sip of tea, shook the big white bowl, and laughed at himself, "At that time, the prince was at the critical moment of hereditary succession, I, Yan Wenluan, also guessed who would be the one to make the sword, after much deliberation, there was One is the most likely and the other is the least likely. The former is for me, an eyesore old guy, to obediently disarm and return to the fields to retire in peace. The least likely is to take down General Huaihua, because Zhong Hongwu, regardless of his character, can be seen in the capital. It has always been an important role used by the general to restrain me and Chen Zhibao."
Xu Fengnian said calmly: "If it is still a peaceful and prosperous age, I will definitely choose Zhong Hongwu, even after he quits the frontier army, let him choose a confidant to be the guardian of Beiliang, and I will also change ways to let you Yan Wenluan Slowly cut off the wings, and get rid of Mr. Zhao's legacy, making Chen Zhibao completely a loner who "has power but not big", and Chen Zhibao's brand in the Beiliang Army will naturally gradually fade away. "
Yan Wenluan sneered and said, "Your Highness is worthy of being Mr. Li's proud disciple. He is really good at planning, and he is the best at breaking up households."
Xu Fengnian didn't take it seriously, raised his hand, and said with a soft smile: "Cryptic words hurt people, but fortunately, there is hot tea to warm your heart, drink tea and drink tea."
The old general of Beiliang, who is known for his strong temper, didn't tear up the table on the spot, but took a sip of hot tea with a straight face.
The atmosphere in the room was tense.
Xu Fengnian was the first to break the silence, but it was a "digression", "I heard that Nalan Youci said that he wants to join forces with Xie Feiyu to comment on the new martial arts, rouge and generals."
Yan Wenluan said unhappily: "That crap is all about scholars looking for trouble when they are full."
Xu Fengnian drank the tea, put down the tea bowl, with a dignified expression, and said in a deep voice: "Then today I will tell the old general about a serious thing that several scholars did together. Well, there are four of them."
Yan Wenluan frowned.
Xu Fengnian said four names.
They are Huang Longshi.
Listen to Chaoge Li Yishan.
Nalan Youci in southern Xinjiang.
Emperor Liyang learned from Yuan Benxi.
Yan Wenluan subconsciously sat up straight.
