Rejecting the gloomy and dignified atmosphere surrounding the mansion in Beicheng, Dong Zhuo removed the original 140,000 private troops under his command to surround Huaiyang Pass, and persuaded Emperor Beimang to mobilize 20,000 migrant criminals who had lost their status in the grassland to participate in the attack on Huaiyang Pass. During the Battle of Yangguan Outer City, the frenzied Dong Zhuo threatened that he would use corpses to build a gentle slope to the top of the city. The left and right cavalry led by Lu Dayuan and Li Yanchao, after a series of small-scale contact battles with the leading cavalry of Donglei Jingqi and Rouran Iron Cavalry, finally ushered in a big battle. The cavalry has invested a total of nearly 40,000 troops. Obviously, neither the enemy nor the enemy has ever dispatched their nests. The strength of Beimang Donglei's fine cavalry is unexpectedly strong. According to the estimated situation, the casualties of the cavalry on the left and right are slightly higher, which means that once they are entangled by the two soldiers and horses holding the festival in Beimang, it will be difficult to get out easily.
Once the main force of the field battle outside Beiliang Pass loses the flexibility of large-scale battlefield transfers, except for the ten thousand snow dragon cavalry who can still fight and retreat, the two heavy cavalry who are destined to be unable to participate in large-scale battles alone are very likely to fall into an embarrassing situation. On the other hand, the army in the middle of Beimang, after the second front jointly created by Wang Yonghe and Wuwei, there is also a His Royal Highness the prince who is "hands-on conscript". On the battlefield, the royal court iron cavalry cowardly Xue army, and the two heavy cavalry armies named after Yelu Murong and the two major kingdoms are eyeing. The two-sleeved green snake of the god Li Chungang needs the support of majestic energy, otherwise it will be a flashy dragon-slaying skill. One hundred thousand cavalry troops... Then Bei Mang definitely didn't choose Bei Liang as the route to go south to the Central Plains, turned around and headed straight to the Liyang Liao border to fight with that Gu Dazhu country, and even had spare energy to divide his troops to knock off Jizhou It is not difficult to follow the southward invasion channel that the prairie cavalry army is most familiar with, and go straight into the hinterland of the Central Plains, or turn east to Liyang Jingji, and approach the city of Tai'an. It's just that in this way, the situation in the world is not simply that the Beiliang iron cavalry is sleeping comfortably and soundly on the side of the couch behind the Beimang cavalry, but that you are leisurely and leisurely watching the fire from the other side, and you can reap the benefits of being a fisherman with patience. At that time, whether the Central Plains and Grassland will have the same surname Zhao or Murong will depend on the mood of the young vassal king. It may be possible to change the surname to Xu altogether.
In the study room next to the signing room in the second hall, at noon, the sun was shining brightly, and the heat was unbearable. As a result, six or seven official figures including Wang Jijiu, Yang Shenxing and Bai Yu gathered in a small study room. Yang Shenxing came here to discuss military affairs, and the rest of the people came here to escape the summer heat. Although this study is small, after all, only the young vassal king handles official duties alone. The most important thing is that Mr. Li had the ingenuity to go out and help transplant a loquat tree in the yard outside the study. It became an excellent summer resort. When Yang Shenxing was discussing matters across the table with the young feudal lord, Mr. Bai Lian was sitting behind the spring and autumn veteran who was relegated to the northwest frontier by Liyang, shaking the cattail fan gently on the chair by the window, and the breeze Gradually, Wang Jijiu pulled Li Gongde to set up a battle with a stern face. It was a pleasure to be able to catch the cool wind brought by Bai Yu's rocking fan in a round of knocking on the catalpa.
The young feudal lord has already browsed the detailed military information about the combat experience of the left and right cavalry troops outside the customs. Yang Shenxing’s visit today is not to repeat the same old tune, but to put in front of Jubei City or all the Beiliang frontier troops. The problem is that the three cavalry troops of Qingyuan Army Town Shifubu Cavalry, Tiefutu, and Baiyu Qingqi, as important mobile forces outside the Liangzhou Pass except for the main force of the first field battle, have now moved to Laowo Mountain in Liuzhou. The cavalry army failed to eat the main force of Murong Baoding's 60,000 fine cavalry, but was bitten by Wang Yong and Helian Wuwei, two soldiers and horses who held orders in Beimang. It can even be said that this dangerous deployment of troops is very likely to lead to a tragic ending between Liang and Mang. The main force of the Southern Expedition of the Pu tribe in the Huang and Song Dynasties was wiped out in the Laowo Mountain area, but Beiliang would also lose the front line of Huaiyang Pass.
Yang Shenxing said worriedly: "At the beginning, we didn't expect that when Yu Luan Dao led the army to attack Xijing, Cao Wei's Wanqi would also make a northward stance to support Yu Luan's Dao's Youqi, but Beimang turned out to be only from the confrontation with the Liangliao. On the eastern front, the cavalry army of Dong Nabo King Jingchong was dispatched, and there was no movement, as if they didn't care about the safety of the capital of the Southern Dynasty. In the end, they ordered the army town along the way to go south to help Laowo Mountain. It is possible that the old lady lost her heart Crazy, really don't care about the whole Gusai prefecture being full of gunpowder? You must know that the two states bordering on the north of Gusai prefecture have always been empty of troops, but the post roads are well developed. The cavalry army is united inside and outside, Bei Mang is going to give away half of the Southern Dynasty with both hands?"
Xu Fengnian didn't dare to jump to conclusions, but smiled wryly: "If it were the Emperor Liyang who cherished his feathers, he would never dare to do this. If it were the old lady, it would be hard to say."
Yang Shenxing frowned, "In this exchange, whoever loses and who gains? Beimang is not afraid of being smashed by our iron cavalry to the Southern Dynasty, and he will not regain his vitality within ten years, and go south to the Central Plains?"
Xu Fengnian shook his head and said: "If in the past, the Liyang court still had control over the Central Plains territory, it would be so. But now that the three kings have raised their troops, everything has become a variable. Of course, Bei Mang can also make a desperate gamble."
Xu Fengnian gently held a piece of white jade seed material the size of an egg, held it in the palm of his hand, and rubbed it slowly. This piece of material was slightly reddish in color, with a delicate texture and a simple appearance. Compared with those carved mutton fat jade, the price is quite different, but the origin of this object is very interesting. It was Jiang Ni, Xu Ying and Jia Jiajia who secretly carried a heavy cloth bag back to the rejection area not long ago. In Beicheng, everyone’s clothes were covered with dust and scum, and they came to this study swaggeringly as if asking for credit, opened the cloth bag, and fell to the ground with a clatter. Qingyu, but they did find a treasure for the three of them. It was the high-quality white jade seed material that Xu Fengnian left behind at the desk to play with. The stone was a cobblestone that was not good-looking to decorate the road. Finally, he sighed and picked up the pretty and attractive seed material, tossed it casually, and then took out five or six copper coins from the purse and threw it to the servants. The little clay figurine said that this is a friendship price. Although the little clay figurine was skeptical and felt that he had suffered a disadvantage, he was a young child in the business field, so he was shamelessly picked up by the young feudal lord. It stands to reason that such a piece of seed material with excellent quality was transferred to Jiangnan Road. A scholarly family should have a small twenty taels of silver. If it is carved by a famous jade craftsman, it will be even more difficult to say. Finally, when the three girls left the study room, the new money pouch on Jiang Ni’s waist, which had been shriveled since arriving in Jubei City, finally became a little more lively. Wo Wanwan, Xu Ying took the copper coin given to her by the ginger paste, and everyone was happy.
After the battle between heaven and man, Yang Shenxing, who hesitated to speak, finally lowered his voice and asked: "May I ask why the lord insists on winning the battle in Liuzhou? He didn't even hesitate to mobilize troops from Qingyuan Army Town to leave Liangzhou?"
Xu Fengnian suddenly clenched the palm of his hand that was gradually warming up, staring at the deputy governor who lived in the dead tree in Beiliang Road, he suddenly joked, "Guess?"
Yang Shenxing was caught off guard and didn't know how to answer. After he really integrated into the official circles of Beiliang, this spring and autumn veteran also knew some anecdotes about Beiliang that had never flowed into the Central Plains and the capital. For example, the old Liang Wang Xu Xiao liked to say you guess two characters, which was one of his catchphrases.
Seeing the restraint and helplessness of the old man who couldn't hide it, Xu Fengnian smiled, and said straight to the point: "There are a lot of inside stories involved, for example, Prince Beimang once sent someone to tell me that Yelu Dongshuang had a private conversation with me before leaving the Central Plains for the grassland. The meeting also included a long-term plan related to Hong Jia's north run, and it even involved Wang Sui, the coach of the western front of Beimang, and Gu Dazhuguo, who is in charge of the two Liaos. I believe that General Yang is certain of one thing. On the battlefield outside Liangzhou Pass to the north of Jubei City, with the strength of both sides, our Northern Liang Iron Cavalry will not be able to win a big victory on the frontal battlefield. It’s not impossible for Shen to lose everything, right?”
Yang Shenxing nodded without hesitation.
Xu Fengnian gently placed the piece of white jade material on the desk, like a piece on a chessboard, "When my master was alive, he never tires of telling me a truth, the depth of the national skill is always outside the chessboard. When I was young, I thought it was my master who always lost in chess." Giving it to my second sister is to give him an excuse for his lack of strength in chess, but after a long time, I feel that as long as there is a competition in the world like Go, the reason is the same."
Xu Fengnian got up slowly, stretched out his fingers to press the piece of seed material, "When Xu Xiao was in the most difficult situation in Liyang in his early years, because he fought too many tough battles that others were unwilling to fight, he never had many soldiers and horses. Why are those big men in the Liyang Military Department still willing to bet on Xu Xiao every time? It's very simple, Xu Xiao can always win a battle when almost everyone is not optimistic about him, so as to attract the attention of the temple and let others The old foxes who hold the power of the military talisman think it is worth another bet. The inside stories I mentioned earlier, those national players hiding behind heavy curtains, are actually very false. Both Beiliang and I know it well, and they will only see rabbits and not let go. Ying, there is no way, Beiliang can only take a slanted sword, making those people standing in front of the gambling table feel that it is time to sit down, it is time to gamble big, otherwise they will only get some bad teeth The leftovers from sewing are cold."
Xu Fengnian smiled and said: "None of these guys has a small appetite, so I have to show them sincerity, for example..."
Yang Shenxing subconsciously asked: "For example?"
Xu Feng said in a young voice: "For example, while the iron cavalry outside the Liangzhou Pass defended the northern city without losing it, the Liuzhou cavalry won a big victory, and then went all the way north to take down Xijing in the Northern Mang and Southern Dynasties."
Yang Shenxing is a master figure in his practice in the officialdom and battlefield, and he knows everything.
It's just that this veteran who has experienced the wars in the spring and autumn did not relax at all, but became more and more heavy.
The young vassal king only said that he was defending Jubei City, so what if it is located north of Jubei City
Huaiyang Pass, Liuya Fuling Chongzuka Sanjun Town.
Chu Lushan, Zhou Kang, Li Yanchao, Lu Dayuan, four generals.
…
At some point, except for the two people standing across the table, the rest of the people in the study had already left.
After Yang Shenxing also walked out of the study, the young feudal lord grabbed the piece of seed material, walked to the window, and looked up at the loquat tree, even though it was mid-autumn, the greenery was still lush.
In spring, summer, autumn and winter, the leaves can grow green. Birth, old age, sickness and death, people do not live forever.
