Feishou City in the south of Lingzhou is the northwest terminus of Liyang Caoyun, and Xiangfan in Qingzhou is located in the center of this imperial supply line, so the imperial court wants to accurately grasp the seven inches of Beiliang, it is necessary to have the cooperation of Zhao Xun, the king of Jing'an, for the time being, Tan Tanweng, who served as the left servant of Zhongshu Province, is very satisfied with Xiangfan's actions, so he asked the court for an exceptional promotion, which is also an irregular title, and invited Lu Xu, who was behind the scenes of the Jing'an Palace, to the front of the stage, and gave Hanlin a lecture, that is, the so-called big yellow door lang of ordinary people, And he is specially allowed not to go to the capital to go on an errand.
Previously, Beiliang Chen Xiliang had temporarily lived in Feishou City, and he had been dragging on the situation with Gu Dacheng, the deputy envoy of the imperial court, for a full ten years.
At dawn, a simple carriage drove into Feishou City from the north gate, stopped at the Shanhai Wharf in the south city, and walked down from the carriage three men of great age, two young people of the same age, an old man in a green shirt with a clear appearance, the three of them stood at the deserted dock where there were no grain ships in the air, the short young man wore a cool knife on his waist, kicked a wooden stake tied to the ship with his foot, and his eyes aimed at the temporary residence where the deputy envoy of the grain transfer was located, and said angrily to the gray-haired young man next to him: " Gu Dacheng and his father Gu Xiao are known as Gu Pixiu on the river, Gu Xiao recognized the master of the eunuch who is now the master of the eunuch in charge of the seal as his father-in-law, and the father and son were able to serve as the grain transfer envoy successively, and it is said that the silver earned can fill a C-shaped granary, but Gu Dacheng is greedy and greedy, and now the old man Huan in the court is personally staring at his money bag, no matter how fat he is, he does not dare to ask for a copper coin from Beiliang.
If you want me to see, this is a dead end, it is better to simply slaughter the surname Gu, and then a few transfer envoys will kill a few, so that no one dares to touch the head of the Yang, when the time comes, we Beiliang will swagger and swagger private grain, from Feishou City to Xiangfan City, this section of Caoyun, large and small sixteen canals, no less than fifty granaries, there are always places that dare to do business with Beiliang, take a step back and say, it's really not good, let's grab it, Qingliang Mountain has raised so many Jianghu eagle dogs, and they can't eat all year round without working, there is no such good thing in the world. ” It's a pity that the King of Beiliang and the Momen master Yang Guangdou who visited him privately did not echo him, and just walked slowly along the bluestone floor of the Shanhai Wharf and walked towards the official residence of the transfer envoy not far away.
It has been a few years since the official residence was built, and with few repairs, it looks more and more dilapidated compared to the county guard mansion in the city.
It's no wonder that the Gu family father and son don't decorate the façade, it is really a little arrogant, so they said to the court officials that they colluded with Beiliang to fill their pockets, and they must not be impeached to death.
There was a fence outside the transport envoy's mansion, and more than a dozen armored soldiers all felt a little embarrassed, and their eyes were cringing.
Some of the naughty children who were born in the area kept throwing stones into the fence, and none of the armor soldiers dared to speak out, so they were really bored, so they had to have fun in their misery, and took advantage of the absence of the official to pick off the stones with iron spears, so that the children who were already very playful were even more happy, looking for stones everywhere and throwing them in.
Xu Fengnian stood a few feet away from the fence and said softly: "The imperial court is making things difficult for Beiliang in the matter of Cao Yun, and it is not all about testing my bottom line, it is really that the restoration of Western Chu is imminent, and when the time comes, although the division of the king of Qin in various places does not dare to open his mouth, he must always ensure that they can fill their stomachs, and when the bow and crossbow sound, it is ten thousand taels of gold, and the war, in the final analysis, is still a competition for the family, otherwise there is no money and no food, even if Gu Jiantang has hundreds of thousands of troops staring at him, he can't survive the new Western Chu with Sun Xiji strategizing inside and Cao Changqing commanding the army outside, many people say that if Xi Chu had made up his mind earlier, before the Xileibi, let Cao Changqing divide Ye Baikui's military power as early as possible, and Liyang would have completely pacified the Spring and Autumn Period, at least five years and ten years later. ” Yang Guangdou smiled and said: "Regarding the restoration of Western Chu, Yang has done countless deductions, and some of them will definitely not be over for a while." ” Xu Fengnian nodded and said: "The world's taxes are six out of Western Chu, and Liyang has squeezed Xichu miserably over the years, and no matter how rich the place is, it can't afford to kill chickens and take eggs like this, but Yuan Benxi and Biyan'er were originally intent on forcing Xichu to rebel, Gu Jiantang and Gu Lu also dreamed that they could fight with Xichu, and the civil officials in the peaceful and prosperous era enjoyed happiness, and the military generals could only eat their old books, so the emperor of the Zhao family hurriedly found something to do for Zhao Youling Yin Maochun, these important ministers of the temple, either to evaluate officials, or to preside over the imperial examination, When you save time, you have too much energy, and you can only use it to drag your feet.
For so many years, the imperial court intends to weaken the military defense around Western Chu, on the one hand, let Western Chu feel that the restoration of the country is promising, on the other hand, it is necessary to be more sinister, several major feudal kings do not talk about the distant Jiaodong King Zhao Sui, just say that Zhao Ying, the king of Huainan, and Zhao Heng, the king of Jing'an, are relatively weak vassal kings, but there are still more than four or five thousand or more than 10,000 elite soldiers left on hand, let them go to Jingnan to quell the chaos, it is the yang mou that has to be led by the nose by the imperial court, and honestly run to the border of Western Chu to beat the elite soldiers cleanly, Such a vicious move to cut the feudal domain must have been Yuan Benxi's idea.
When the matter of Western Chu is over, Zhao Yi, the king of Guangling, wants to confront Western Chu head-on, that body of fat that has been raised with great difficulty, after this battle, he has to cut off most of his autumn fat, and he is unlucky, not a single soldier can be left, and I feel pain for him.
Liaodong Zhao Sui was already overwhelmed by Gu Jiantang's bullets, so only me and Zhao Bing, the king of Yanyi, were still uncontrolled, but Beimang was more empathetic, and he had a spirit with Liyang, and he was about to fight Bei Liang to the death, you beat your Xichu, I beat my Bei Liang, everyone did their own thing, I doubt that Yuan Benxi and that Taiping Order are together.
In the final analysis, only Zhao Zhu's father, the great feudal king, can still be at ease. ” Yang Guangdou smiled lightly: "Nalan Youci's ability to avoid trouble, claiming to be the second in the world, no one can call it the first." ” Xu Fengnian said to himself: "The battle between Liyang and Xichu will definitely be fought in front of us and Beimang, even if the Zhao family knows that Beimang has no time to take care of the eastern front, he will not let Gu Jiantang participate in it, and finally left Xu Xiao, and he can't raise a second Xu Xiao."
Wenchen can't talk about what is rewarded, most of the generals have to support the army and respect themselves, no accident, it should be Lu Baijie and Lu Shengxiang, one sits in the military department, and the other goes south to Beijing, but Lu Baijie is the new secretary of the military department, the possibility is smaller, as long as Lu Shengxiang has military merits, he can only compete with Lu Baijie when he returns to Beijing, so as not to let the military department become the military department of Tangxi Sword Immortal.
If Lu Shengxiang takes the lead, a few old immortals, like Yang Shenxing, the general of Anguo, will definitely take advantage of the fact that he can barely get on the horse and cross the knife, and want to run to get a piece of the pie, but Lu Shengxiang is good, Yang Shenxing, a group of Spring and Autumn veterans, they are all a big difference with Cao Changqing, Lu Shengxiang is okay, the use of troops is not bad, but it is destined to be constrained by all aspects, and the early stage can be fought to the death under the disadvantage, it is estimated that only the soldiers and horses of Zhao Yi, the king of Guangling, want me to see, this battle is not a fight, but maybe Cao Changqing is like a bamboo, Hit directly to Tai'an City. ” Yang Guangdou frowned: "After Xichu has the advantage, he will go north, not to mention Cao Changqing, even if Beimang, as long as he dares to put the decisive battle outside Tai'an City, he has not many chances of winning." ” Xu Fengnian smiled: "I'll just talk about it casually." ” Yang Guangdou laughed and said: "If this is the case, it is a great thing for Bei Liang, maybe Bei Mang will make up his mind temporarily, decisively give up the western front, turn around and fight the eastern front, and attack Tai'an City with Xichu in the north and the south, then it will be really exciting."
Didn't Gu Jiantang always feel that the reason why he lost to the general was just because he lost in the sky, and now he had a chance to prove himself.
The eastern front he built for so many years has asked for money, and he can ask for whatever he wants from the court, and if it doesn't help, Gu Jiantang will just go and get a few noodles and hang himself. ” Cao Wei interjected and asked, "Cao Changqing is really so powerful" Yang Guangdou sighed lightly: "In the Spring and Autumn Period, the West Chu scholars are the most prosperous, and the West Chu is the most proud of Cao Longli, Cao Touxiu, and the only show in West Chu, this is not nonsense.
It's just that the world has been blinded by his feat of entering the palace, and most of them think that he is a master of martial arts.
Gu Jiantang's strength lies in the fact that every battle must first be demanded to occupy the best geographical advantages, and it is claimed that if you don't fight, you will win if you have already fought, in general, compared to Cao Chen and the two, it is still slightly inferior.
However, the time of day carried by Fengtian is both ethereal and unattainable, Gu Jiantang's time is the general trend of Liyang, Cao Changqing is the length of the number of Qi in Western Chu, as for Chen Zhibao, it is estimated that he is still waiting. ” Xu Fengnian smiled indifferently: "Chen Zhibao is waiting for Cao Changqing to be destroyed with Xichu, waiting for Beimang to fight with Bei Liang and Gu Jiantang to be greatly injured, and then it will be his turn to make the villain Tu Fan debut."
Xu Xiao is just stepping on the Spring and Autumn Period, Chen Zhibao's ambition is obviously greater, he wants to dominate the world with his own hands and create a vast empire that has not been seen for a thousand years, as for whether he wants to be the emperor himself, God knows. ” Yang Guangdou exhaled, "As soon as the general leaves, the world will begin to be in chaos." ” Cao Wei sighed: "Anyway, I definitely won't fight Chen Zhibao face to face." ” The dwarf wrenched his fingers and said slowly: "There is already a Fengzi battalion stationed in Qingcang in the land of the wanderers, and the dragon elephant army of the little prince has also infiltrated almost the same, plus Chu Fatzi and Yuan Baixiong in the north of Liangyou and Liangzhou, our Beiliang finally has its own eastern and western fronts, plus the important town pass guarded by fourteen new captains in the territory, which belongs to the second line of defense."
What about me, further northwest to the land of the exiles, it is a vital third line of defense, in fact, there is no defense or defense, anyway, only attack and not defend, and when you fight to the death, Lao Tzu will make a final decision, hey, surnamed Xu, I said in advance, give me 5,000 light horses and 10,000 high-quality war horses, I can help you fish in troubled waters, and flatten the nest of the Southern Dynasty in one go, if you dare to give me 10,000 people and 20,000 horses, I will help you eat the king of the Northern Dynasty. ” Xu Fengnian said helplessly: "It's not that I can't give it to you, but you really think that Beimang is a bunch of blind people, a group of wine bags and rice bags."
Cao Wei rolled his eyes and said: "Regarding this great attack that is destined to go down in history, Lao Tzu has been deducing it over and over again for more than ten years, and he is counting on becoming famous in this life, do you think" Xu Fengnian was about to speak, when he heard a familiar "hehe".
