Compared with Liangzhou, where the smoke of war is imminent, Lingzhou, which is the backyard of Beiliang, still has many handsome men and beautiful women going out together in this green season when the willows are sprouting. Many children in the city are happily flying kites. Children will also string colorful lanterns on the kite strings. Near their courtyard, there are no less than ten kites floating in the sky. The laughter and laughter of the children invisibly dilute the tense atmosphere after the two groups of people meet. However, Xu Fengnian's unexpected opening remarks seemed to be a bit of a spoiler. As the most beautiful woman in the past 20 years in Western Shu, thanks to Chuntie Thatched Cottage, she was listed on the Rouge Review at the age of fourteen. She is famous for her "skin is like suet jade, and her hands are like lotus buds". Ten years later, she won the Rouge Award again and again. Comment, although her real age is twenty-six, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is twenty-eight beautiful. Xie Xie's figure is like that of most Sichuan women, thin and delicate, with a very thin waist. Thank you, Youyou Baibai, no wonder there is also the nickname of the Moon Palace Immortal. I don’t know how many Shu men dream about it. Xu Fengnian is far away in Beiliang, and everyone has heard that the Western Shu Taoist envoy has coveted him for a long time. If it weren’t for Chen Zhibao’s sealing of Western Shu Being a guest of Chuntie Thatched Cottage, I am afraid that after Xie Lingzhen died at the hands of Xu Fengnian at the bank of Chunshen Lake, she would become a caged bird in the mansion of Jinglue.

After Xu Fengnian teased thank you, he led the horse forward. He didn't immediately look at the white-clothed man standing between the three of them at the door, but at the middle-aged Confucian-looking Xie Guanying. "North Xie South Li", commenting on the romance of spring and autumn, of course, what interested Xu Fengnian the most was not the great skill of this man in catching dragons and raising real dragons, but his identity, the white fox-faced father. For some reason, Bai Huerlian said that he was dead, and he did not share the surname Xie with Xie Guanying, but took the surname Nangong.

From Xu Fengnian's point of view, there are only three people in the Liyang Dynasty who can be said to be in charge of luck, the emperor Zhao Zhuan is of course one, and then there is Chen Zhibao who is not far away from Xie Guanying, who is assisted by Xie Guanying, who lives in Southwest Shu In a corner of the land, he is eyeing the Central Plains, and now he is planning to rebel against Prince Su Su and Old Master Zhao Dingxiu, who should belong to the Northern Liang camp. Xu Fengnian could figure out why Chen Zhibao wanted to meet this time, because the third son of heaven who was expected to sit on the dragon chair was His Royal Highness Zhao Zhu, the little beggar back then. Then the next pattern is similar to that of the late emperor Zhao Dun when the eight dragons seized the heir. Beiliang can play a pivotal role without being involved. Chen Zhibao must take advantage of the general trend of Western Chu's restoration of the country if he wants to walk out of Western Shu in a legitimate way. Becoming the Dingding figure who broke through the capital of Western Chu State before the army of Southern Xinjiang, Beiliang will play a key role in this matter. If Xu Fengnian is determined to contain the troops of Western Shu, then Zhao Zhu will succeed. The possibility of this will be far greater than that of Chen Zhibao. Of course, Xishu is definitely not asking for help this time with a low eyebrow and pleasing to the eye, but a covert exchange. As long as Beiliang does not delay Xishu from entering the Central Plains, then If you want to come to Xishu, you won’t set Beiliang’s backyard on fire during the Battle of Liangmang. This will test the tacit understanding between the two sides. It will be after today, the two sides will completely tear their skins apart, and they will not stop dying. Beiliang will be attacked by enemies, and Western Shu will also delay the opportunity, losing the great lead in the Central Plains competition.

This transaction is very likely to determine the ownership of the entire Central Plains, and even the surname of the entire world. Otherwise, with Chen Zhibao's temperament, how could he return to Beiliang and take the initiative to meet Xu Fengnian? And most likely it was Xie Guanying's instigation, finally persuading this white-clothed soldier sage to leave Sichuan and enter Liang.

Probably Xie Xie really is Chen Zhibao's confidant, and he knows the importance of this meeting, so even if Xu Fengnian made fun of him and gave her seven inches with a hammer, he still didn't shake his face.

When a group of people entered this luxurious Jiangnan-style house, Xu Fengnian and Chen Zhibao walked side by side at the front, followed by Tantai Pingping and Xie Xie, and finally Xie Guanying and Xu Yanbing. Huyan Daguan and Tiemu Dier didn't follow, Huyan Daguan said that it didn't look like he was about to start, he had to go to the streets of this big city in Lingbei to buy some knacks for his wife and daughter, and then the Beimang The great master of martial arts left immediately. In fact, during this trip to Lingzhou, Huyan Daguan had already told Xu Fengnian at Qingliang Mountain that he would not help Beiliang kill anyone, but if Xu Fengnian's life was in danger, he would rescue him. Of course not demanding anything. When it comes to Huyan Daguan, a warrior who is very close to Wang Xianzhi's realm, unless Xu Yanbing and Cao Changqing have too many concerns, no one will care about the world. For example, Deng Tai'a, although he has a relationship with Xu Fengnian anyway. As relatives, they are also unwilling and disdain to pay attention to the trend of the reckless war, the same is true for Sui Xiegu, the reason why they stay in Beiliang, I am afraid that in the final analysis, they just want to show their faces by Tantai Pingping's side occasionally to ask for scolding.

Leaving aside the fragile thank you, Beiliang's side is Xu Fengnian whose state has been damaged, Xu Yanbing who is "only half a step away" and Tantai Tranquility, the number one qi trainer. Chen Zhibao, who is extraordinary and holy, and Xie Guanying, who is at the top of the list in the picture of land gods.

Should be evenly matched.

The six of them sat down in the secluded courtyard. Thank you, as a woman who has been on the rouge review twice, she really has too many "unique skills" worthy of praise. Bao has a good reputation and is good at tea ceremony. Numerous Taoist real people in Sichuan praised its tea as "medium-flavored, leisurely and clean, with high rhyme and tranquility. When you drink it, the breeze blows from your armpit, just like feathering and soaring." Thank you for making tea at this time. The tea used to make tea at this time is the Mingqian Chunshen tea, which is the most treasured treasure in Qihuo. The tea utensils and tea utensils she brought from the Chuntie Caotang are scattered, and there are as many as eighteen pieces. It must be that one. The whole set of eighteen bachelors is priceless. Even Xu Fengnian had to admit that the tea made by the woman from Xishu in front of her was really pleasing to the eye, her gestures were full of charm, and the most important thing was that she was forgetful. No wonder the Taoists of Xishu admired her so much.

Xie Guanying was the first to take a sip of tea, and after putting down the cup, he broke the silence first, without any mild greetings, but went straight to the point, "Cao Changqing knows well that Xichu is going to attack Tai'an City in one go. You can't lose the battle, otherwise the situation in Guangling Road will take a turn for the worse. At present, the Modao formation born out of the Euphorbia warriors has surfaced, and several field cavalry troops as the main force are also present. Except for the 60,000 sailors, the Western Chu There are 170,000 troops on land, which is comparable to the imperial army led by Lu Shengxiang in the north and the 100,000 troops in southern Xinjiang. But war is never a battle of numbers on paper. Zhao Bing's army in southern Xinjiang , the overall combat power is far superior to that of Xichu."

Xu Fengnian took a sip of tea, which was really refreshing. He twirled the rim of the cup with his fingers, and said with a smile: "The situation is still the same. Cao Changqing's navy will definitely annex Guangling King Zhao Yi's navy. After the confluence, the Guangling River with Guangling navy will To a large extent, it blocked the footsteps of the Southern Xinjiang army. Xie Xizhen has 170,000 people from Western Chu, and he has a great chance of winning against the inferior Lu Shengxiang. Then it depends on whether the Qingzhou Navy can help the Southern Xinjiang soldiers and horses to cross that road. Tianzhu, otherwise Cao Changqing would have fought all the way to Tai'an City, and Gu Jiantang's two Liao frontier armies would have taken advantage of the trend to go south... This is why the Taiping Order ordered the two Nabos on the easternmost line of Beimang, and why they wanted to show their weakness to Yuan Tingshan in Jibei In this situation of rapid development, except for Gu Jiantang, the rest of the forces, in the eyes of the imperial court, are far from being able to quench their thirst."

Xie Guanying seemed to have a plan in mind, he shook his head calmly and said: "Qingzhou Navy may not be vulnerable to a battle, and Lu Shengxiang is definitely not someone who will wait for nothing."

Xu Fengnian looked at this middle-aged man with frosty temples, and his mind wandered for a while. As expected of a father with a white fox face, he is still very old, but he can still make a woman's heart flutter. In terms of outstanding aura, it seems that only Cao Changqing, a senior official, can compete with him. It is not a lie to say that there is poetry and calligraphy in the belly. On the other hand, those out-and-out Jianghu people, the old man in sheepskin fur, Deng Tai'a, and Huyan Grand View, are all far behind. Of course, the young old man Li, whether it is a sword or a man, is naturally invincible in the world of.

Xie Guanying couldn't help but laugh when facing such a majestic and distracted young vassal king, he glanced at the man in white who always looked calm beside him, thinking that it's no wonder Zhao Changling chose him with the surname of Chen instead of His Royal Highness Xu.

Xu Fengnian smiled apologetically, and then asked curiously: "Mr. Xie had a plan in the Qingzhou Navy, which is not surprising, but if I remember correctly, it was Yuan Benxi's instruction that Lu Shengxiang left the Guangling Chunxue Tower at that time. Will he agree to give up the merit of entering and exiting the city? That means whether Lu Shengxiang can change from Liyang General to Minister of the Ministry of War. After all, in the future dynasty, the general is just a little bit nicer, and the minister with real power is the sweet pastry. .”

Xie Guanying smiled and asked back: "Even if Lu Shengxiang wanted to be the king of Beiliang who decided the Central Plains in one fell swoop, would he be able to do it if he wanted to? What's more, it is different from the past, even if he successfully besieged the city, he still needs to be busy. Fight a snipe and a clam with that young prince in southern Xinjiang."

Xie Xie Min keenly noticed the man she admired, and frowned quietly.

When making tea, if she can forget herself, she will never forget him.

Most of the women in the world are like this, no matter how the gods come out of the world, there is a man who will let them return to the world, and he is willing to add fragrance to his plain hands and red sleeves.

Xu Feng said with a young smile: "In other words, the first emperor Zhao Dun died a long time ago, otherwise Mr. Xie wouldn't have to be so sad."

Xie Guanying nodded and said: "If the late emperor was alive, I would not be in Lingzhou now, but in Qingzhou navy."

Everyone in the world knows that Zhao Dun has eyes for Chen Zhibao. Naturally, if Zhao Dun had not died, he would not have politely rejected Chen Zhibao's "only" 10,000 people to go out of Shu to fight the rebellion like Zhao Zhuan did today.

The Zhao family served two successive emperors, and some things were passed down from generation to generation. For example, Zhao Zhuan treated Beiliang the same as the previous emperor. He always tried to consume Beiliang's military power to the greatest extent without affecting the stability of the Central Plains. Otherwise, only the Xu family of Beiliang Still, cutting down the feudal clan has become a big joke. But some things have quietly changed, such as the attitude towards Shu Wang Chen Zhibao, Zhao Dun has the kind of almost paranoid trust and appreciation, as a self-confessed enlightened emperor, he is extremely intoxicated by the kind of "National unparalleled good generals, driven by me" Confused emotions, while Zhao Zhuan turned into jealousy and suspicion.

Xie Guanying, who had been reunited like an old friend before and spoke softly, shook his head and refused to thank him and continued to pour tea. His momentum suddenly changed, and his tone became colder, "Earlier, I deduced the battle situation in Beiliang with the king of Shu. If you treat the prince as an ordinary official to make an evaluation , It’s just middle and lower. If the prince hadn’t built a big city in the south of Beizhongzhong in Liangzhou, there wouldn’t even be middle and lower.”

Xu Fengnian smiled and said nothing.

Xie Guanying continued: "Beiliang's best strategy is to rely on more than 100,000 of the world's most elite field cavalry to succeed in one battle!"

Xu Fengnian asked with a normal face: "Mr. Xie, you mean to let the millions of troops from Beimang be stationed in the north of Hutou City in Liangzhou, and repeat the battle of Xileibi?"

Xie Guanying smiled and said nothing.

Xie Xie, who was acting as the flower of the rosary, was a little surprised in his heart, this vile young feudal lord was not stupid after all. Mr. Xie didn't mean to be alarmist, but had an all-night sand table deduction with him around him, but the basis of the deduction at that time was that he was in Beiliang, not this young man surnamed Xu presiding over the overall situation. Under this premise, Bei Mang did not dare to divide his troops into three groups to suppress the situation across the board. He would only dare to complete his achievements in one battle and make a big bet with Bei Liang. put all one's eggs in one basket. Mr. Xie played the role of Dong Zhuo, and Chen Zhibao was the defender of Beiliang. The two sides dispatched troops and generals, which was very similar to the original battle of Xileibi. It was lost to Beiliang, which was wiped out with only 30,000 cavalry and infantry left. During that shocking paper talk, Liuzhou, Youzhou and Lingzhou were all reduced to watching a show. All the tragic, treacherous and wonderful battles only took place in the north of Liangzhou. But this is the beginning of that deduction, and the middle game has not even been reached. Next, Beiliang will force the severely injured Beimang to turn to Liangliao. After integrating the refugees from Liuzhou, the "idlers" united vertically and horizontally, opened up the Western Regions in one go, and gathered the Western Shu and Nanzhao. In the same three-legged confrontation, Liyang and Beimang continue to consume, and Beiliang will quickly regroup. After returning to the strength of 150,000 pure cavalry, Nanzhao and Xishu raised more than 150,000 infantry, and once again participated in the battle of the world with a total of 300,000 troops. At that time, thank you for watching the deduction. At the end of the middle game, she thought he would take advantage of the vacancy and lead the army straight to Tai'an City. Let her guess wrong. At that time, he chose to go north from Liangzhou and Jizhou. He chose to flatten the Northern Mang and the Southern Dynasties before coveting the Central Plains. In the end, he became the six territories of Northern Liang, Southern Dynasties, Western Regions, Western Shu and Nanzhao. After the co-lordship, he was condescending, directly bypassed Gu Jiantang's two Liao defense lines, which had already suffered heavy losses, fought a decisive battle with the Liyang army in Huainan Road, and then went south to Guangling Road, ignoring Tai'an City, and then fought against the Southern Xinjiang army. Whether Gu Jiantang's two Liao frontier armies fought or not fought has nothing to do with the overall situation.

Thank you for laughing. You, Xu Fengnian, can probably only think of the beginning of the deduction, how can you guess the soul-stirring mid-season and finale after that

Then she was dumbfounded, and only heard the guy smile and ask: "According to Mr. Xie's deduction rules, wouldn't Gu Jiantang have to be the Secretary of the Ministry of War of the new dynasty for 20 years?"

Tantai glanced at Ningping and thanked him, the great Qi practitioner also smiled.

The king of Shu, who had been completely out of it all the time, finally looked at Xu Fengnian squarely. This could be regarded as the king of Beiliang who Chen Zhibao had watched coldly for many years, watching him grow up little by little.

Xie Guanying raised his hand, thank you for pouring tea immediately, he smiled and took a sip of tea.

This tea seems to have a taste.

Only in this way can the two sides barely be on an equal footing.

Before that, Xie Guanying didn't regard Xu Fengnian as a real opponent at all.
