At dawn, Xu Beizhi walked slowly to the top of the mountain, looked at Xu Fengnian who was wearing a heavy fur coat, walked to the stone table and sat down, shook the wine pot that had already been drunk, and said softly: "Every man is pregnant with jade, A hundred ghosts see wisdom."
Xu Fengnian, whose smell of alcohol had already been blown away by the cold mountain wind, sighed and said: "Last night, I wondered if someone else becomes the emperor, even if that person was a good friend with me, would he tolerate a person with a different surname holding hands?" Hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers."
Xu Beizhi shook his head and said, "You'd better not get your hopes up to avoid disappointment. Because even if that person can bear it, everyone around him will not agree. How to sit on the dragon chair and how to sit firmly on the dragon chair are two completely different things. Bei Liang always felt that the three emperors of the Zhao family in Liyang were virtuous, and they all liked to cook cunning rabbits and dogs. They are Mingjun in the history books of later generations, so they naturally have their advantages. Ordinary ordinary people, if they want to take care of their family and live a good life every year, they need to work hard, let alone such a huge dynasty. Zhao Yin Maybe you can trust that Xu Xiao will not rebel against the Zhao family, but Zhao Yin believes that Xu Xiao's son will be willing to guard the northwest. Zhao Dun may know that your bottom line is not low, but you can't believe that the next king of the Xu family with a different surname will not be arrogant Difficult to control, he must be thinking, is it possible that the king of Beiliang will rise up one day and run to dig down the Zhao family's wall."
The outspoken Xu Beizhi glanced at Xu Fengnian who was hesitant to speak, and said with a sneer, "Maybe you will say that Xu Xiao will not rebel, and I, Xu Fengnian, will not rebel either, and my descendants will be the same in the future."
Xu Fengnian smiled wryly and was speechless.
Xu Beizhi is still harsh in his words, "People's hearts are separated from each other, no one is the roundworm in your Xu Fengnian's belly, and there is no reason to believe anyone in the world, especially those sons and grandsons who were born in the emperor's family. Suspicious, how do you sit on the dragon chair? How do you fight with the feudal towns, relatives, eunuchs, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty? Besides, a family property would rather be ruined by descendants than be snatched away by outsiders. This kind of gloomy mentality, It’s not unique to the emperor either. How dare you, Xu Fengnian, say that you don’t have any of it?”
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "That's right."
Xu Beizhi suddenly asked: "Aren't you a master of one of the four great masters, why are you also afraid of the cold?"
Xu Fengnian laughed at himself and said: "After the battle in Liuzhou, his strength plummeted, and he was always cold in his bones. In fact, fur is not good for keeping out the cold. The reason why he wears it is that it is better than nothing. Like many late swordsmen who have retired from the rivers and lakes, they like to go and see them often. Look at the swords sitting on the shelf eating dust, the generals who have disarmed and returned to the fields will often touch the armor and swords."
Xu Beizhi asked, "What happened to that Liangzhou deputy general Kou Beishang?"
Xu Fengnian jokingly said: "What's the matter, new love? Orange, your old love, is this old love here to ask the teacher?"
Xu Beizhi stared at Xu Fengnian expressionlessly.
Xu Fengnian had no choice but to put away his joking expression, and said helplessly, "It's that Jiang Huai, the Western Chu Kou of Guangling Road, who made a deal with me, and everyone gets what they need."
Xu Beizhi's face softened a little, and he said in a deep voice: "Liuzhou only has three military towns that have not been fully repaired as a support, but it has to face Liu Gui's 100,000 troops, Tuoba Bodhisattva's tens of thousands of elite descendants, and the 30,000 Dragon Elephant Army. The two lieutenant generals, Wang Lingbao is only a fierce general who charges into battle, and although Li Mofan is a single-handed general, there is a disparity in the strength of the two sides in Liuzhou Liangmang. A general like Kou Jianghuai who has the potential to be a top general in the Spring and Autumn Period is needed to send charcoal in the snow."
Xu Fengnian nodded and said: "When Kou Jianghuai gains some fame and prestige in the defense line of Fuling Liuya Huaiyang Pass, I also plan to let him go there to be the general of Liuzhou. In Liangzhou Beiguan, we and Beimang can actually use our troops flexibly The space is extremely limited. In the final analysis, it is a desperate fight. So multilateral towns and garrisons, both sides are tied. But Liuzhou, which is a blank sheet of paper, has plenty of room for Kou Jiang to display his military talents to the fullest. 'Leave blank'."
Xu Fengnian asked with a cold smile: "Juzi, are you actually afraid that Chen Xiliang in Qingcang City will have an accident?"
Xu Beizhi asked back: "Could it be that I have to plot against my colleagues all day long, so that you, the King of Beiliang, can feel at ease?"
Xu Fengnian slapped the table, and glared at each other, "Juzi, you can't get angry in Lingzhou and get scolded as the governor of buying rice, so you catch me and vent your anger, okay?! Let's have a good talk, okay?!"
Kou Jianghuai, who was walking freely in Qingliang Mountain, happened to see this scene and heard these words, and felt creepy for no reason. Could it be that the person surnamed Xu "had an affair" with the person surnamed Xu? Otherwise, a governor with no foundation can make the dignified feudal lord feel wronged to this extent? Kou Jianghuai put oil on the soles of his feet, and was about to turn around and retreat. In the end, Xu Fengnian called to stop them, and then the three surrounded the stone table, presenting a three-legged posture. Kou Jianghuai's flirting and cursing expression is the expression that I am deaf, blind and dumb, and pretend that I don't exist.
Xu Fengnian looked at Kou Jianghuai who was pretending not to look sideways, pointed at Xu Beizhi, and introduced with a smile: "Xu Beizhi, the governor of Lingzhou, was praised by Mr. Song Dongming as the kind of person who can rule the people and stabilize the country. Unfortunately, he can't drink enough. The wine quality is even worse, I once drank with the Yulong Gang in Lingzhou, and I personally carried him back."
Kou Jianghuai said seriously: "I have seen Governor Xu."
Xu Beizhi also returned to his usual elegant demeanor, and said with a smile, "General Kou's coming to the Beiliang frontier army is like adding wings to a tiger."
Xu Fengnian hurriedly said: "Didn't you work for the tiger?"
Xu Beizhi sneered and said, "Yo, it's amazing, one scolds three times, and even myself will not be spared."
Kou Jianghuai also said solemnly: "If you hurt the enemy one thousand, you will hurt eight hundred. It can be seen that the prince's use of troops is very... not in the same way."
Xu Fengnian said triumphantly: "I can die with you, Kou Jianghuai and Xu Bei Zhizhi, if you just talk about it, and you are still not in the top? What if you do it? Huh? Why don't you give it a try?"
At this time, a large group of people who had just climbed to the top of Qingliang Mountain booed one after another.
"Try it! Must try it."
"General Kou, I am optimistic about you! After winning this battle, you are a great master who can be counted on one hand in the world."
"Let's not talk about the deputy general of Liangzhou, the general of Liangzhou can do it too! If you still think the official is too small, I, Chen Yunchui's deputy commander of the infantry, will let you."
"General Kou, we have been dissatisfied with the lord for a long time. We are too old. Even if we win the lord, we will not win by force. Today, you are the same age as the lord. You must help us vent our anger. Big deal, why don't I turn around?" Zhonghu will carry you down the mountain himself."
Turning his head and looking at the group of the most powerful officials in the frontier of Beiliang, Kou Jianghuai, who had just arrived in Beiliang, twitched his mouth and felt a little uncomfortable for a while. In Guangling Road, whether it was studying in the Shangyin Academy in the early years, or being in the Dachu Temple later, there would never be such a scene where old men team up to cheat a younger junior. While feeling a little absurd and funny, Kou Jianghuai also had an uncontrollable emotion in his heart, which can probably be called strong and intense. Among the old people in front of him, there is Gu Dazu, the number one general in the old Southern Tang Dynasty, and Zhou Kang, the golden partridge. , there is He Zhonghu, who broke through with 8,000 cavalry and 40,000 infantry in the Sui Dynasty, and Chen Yunchui, who will always put on armor in every battle! After the four deputy commanders of the Beiliang Frontier Army, Li Gongde and Song Dongming, the deputy envoys who wore civil uniforms, and Huang Chang, who was known as the "conscience" of Liyang local dialect officials, were in addition to Kou Jianghuai. The official robes and decorations identified Tian Peifang, the governor of Liangzhou, Hu Kui, the governor of Youzhou, Hu Kui, the general of Youzhou, Han Laoshan, the deputy general of Lingzhou, and others. It's a pity that Kou Jianghuai has never been able to see the white bear Yuan Zuozong, the commander of the Northern Liang Cavalry Army, and Yan Wenluan, the infantry commander. Of course, he has not been able to see the most proud Yu Luan knife of the Yu family. Kou Jianghuai is also somewhat regretful .
You must know that when Kou Jianghuai was studying in Shangyin Academy, he read the night light reading countless times. He was reading Gu Dazu's Theory of Situation, deducing the classic battles created by Zhou Kang, He Zhonghu, Chen Yunchui and others. liquor!
Kou Jianghuai saw 20 or 30 military generals standing in the back, most of them were relatively young 34 years old, they should be more powerful captains after the reorganization of Beiliang.
For some reason, Kou Jianghuai couldn't help standing up, and suddenly saluted these people.
It was He Zhonghu who was the first to return the salute with his hands clasped together, and after that, everyone clasped their fists together with smiles.
Kou Jianghuai inadvertently discovered that even a literati like Tian Peifang did not stagnate when he clasped fists with the general.
Then everyone went upstairs together to overlook the state city.
As time passed, they dispersed one after another, and at noon, there were only Xu Fengnian, Xu Beizhi and Kou Jianghuai in the end, and the two young tigers who were alive and kicking around Xu Fengnian. In the end, Xu Beizhi also went out to discuss matters in the half-waist mansion where Song Dongming was, and Kou Jianghuai, who had nothing to do, also went down the mountain to enjoy the scenery at Chao Pavilion. Xu Fengnian waited in the building for a group of five people, including Xu Yanbing, a family of three and a young man from Beimang. Xu Fengnian looked at the Beimang martial arts master who looked like a commoner in Liyang, with complicated eyes, and said, "It really is you." The middle-aged man in Huyan Daguan grinned and did not speak. On the contrary, his daughter stared at Xu Fengnian, the young man whom she had "appointed" as her master, with her eyes wide open. She raised her little head and stared intently for a long time, as if she was a little disappointed. It's the same, it doesn't look very powerful."
Xu Yanbing said calmly: "There were two fights, but there was no winner. In the last fight, he and I are not in a hurry."
Xu Fengnian felt relieved, and said with a smile: "There is no need to rush."
Xu Fengnian looked at Tie Mudie'er who was often mentioned in Fushuifang's spy reports, looked at the sparse saber on his waist, and said in a Beimang accent: "Good sword."
Tie Mudie'er only regarded it as a polite remark, and just nodded with a cold face, but the young man's expression was still a little embarrassed, after all, the most powerful vassal of the Liyang Dynasty in front of him was not only the leader of the entire Beimang The mortal enemy is the martial arts master who defeated Emperor Wucheng Wang Xianzhi.
In the verandah of the tall building, Huyan Daguan supported his daughter and asked her to stand on the railing.
After Xu Fengnian saw a figure, he said goodbye and went downstairs.
Xu Weixiong was sitting in a wheelchair, glanced at those people upstairs, and said softly: "Ten days ago, Xishu sent a message to Wutong Court asking you to go to the border of Lingzhou. I ignored it."
Xu Fengnian frowned and said, "He wants to see me?"
Xu Weixiong said indifferently: "Now he, Xie Guanying, and the woman from the Chuntie Cottage have entered Lingzhou, and he said that he will wait for you at the border between Lingzhou and Liangzhou."
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "Then let's see each other."
Xu Weixiong nodded, "Take Uncle Xu, and Tantai is calm. It would be best if Huyan Daguan is willing to go with you."
Xu Fengnian hummed.
On the Ching Ming Festival in the second year of Xiangfu, at dusk, tens of thousands of people lived behind Qingliang Mountain.
Xu Fengnian, King of Northern Liang, led nearly a hundred civil and military officials to fight together for the Dragon Elephant Army who died in Liuzhou, the Youzhou Cavalry Army who died in Jibei and outside Hulukou, the Luanhe City who died in Wogong City in Hulukou, and the Huluan Army who died in Hulukou. Frontier soldiers in Toucheng offer wine.
In that forest of steles, there are 300,000 nameless steles, and 36,872 names have been written on them.
In the night, wishing lamps for blessings were slowly raised in Liangzhou city.
After Wuqi left the city, Xu Fengnian stopped his horse and looked back, took off the wine pot, and took a swig.
A year later, how many people in the Beiliang Frontier Army will not be able to drink this wine.
A few years later, among tens of millions of people in Beiliang, how many people will think about this green ant wine before they die
At this moment, the picture in Xu Fengnian's eyes was like a fire rising all over the city.
