Chapter 155: Digging the Soil


There is still a chapter before 12 o'clock.

The four horsemen who don't mess with the trouble, going and staying in a huge big city are like drops of water thrown into a huge ravine, and they can't stir up anything at all.

After Xu Fengnian negotiated with Zhang Xiucheng, he left the restaurant quickly, and Qingzhu Niang only said one sentence when sending each other, saying that he gave her a word when she parted last time, and she returned it to him this time.

Xu Fengnian smiled and said that he accepted it.

Zhang Xiucheng returned to the window of the private room and looked at the four horses walking away on the street, without turning around, the woman was slowly cleaning up the wine jugs and wine glasses on the table, and those delicate plates that served wine and side dishes, Zhang Xiucheng asked curiously: "Qingzhu Niang, what can you say about that sentence?"

Qingzhu Niang smiled gracefully: "What can't be said, he said to me last time to live well, there is no greater truth in the world than this." ” Zhang Xiucheng sighed: "This world is going to be chaotic. ” Qingzhu Niang asked in a low voice: "Who is he, if you can't say it, don't say it." ” Zhang Xiucheng turned around, a little puzzled, "I really can't say, it's just that I talked to him so much, Qingzhu Niang, you didn't guess it" Qingzhu Niang's cheeks were slightly red, "I don't know what I was thinking at the time, anyway, I feel like I can't remember anything now." ” Zhang Xiucheng was stunned for a moment, and held back a smile, "It's better for you to treat him as Xu Lang, anyway, his true identity will always be revealed one day, and even if you escape back to Beimang and close your ears, it's useless."

From the details of his treatment of the servant, it can be seen that he is not a good person, but he is certainly not bad. ” Qingzhu Niang glanced at this Taoist priest who always likes to laugh at himself and only subdue demons in the pile of old papers, and said softly: "He's bad." ” Zhang Xiucheng doesn't know what's going on, and he's not willing to get involved in this mess, so he doesn't know how to be a person inside and out.

By the way, after the sinking of Shenzhou 6 in the eyes of the Spring and Autumn Scholars, I don't know which scholar who does not accumulate virtue said a big bad word, which has been widely circulated, that is, "Xu Xiao looks in the mirror, and he is not a person inside and out."

Zhang Xiucheng didn't understand at first after taking root in Jizhou, but later learned that he was scolding the old king of Liang for killing too many people and breaking into the yang world.

As for others, such as "the general walks, one high and one low", this is simple and clear, it is a satire that Xu Xiao is a lame, "the upper beam is not right, the lower beam is crooked", it was once used to joke people for slaughtering the hunchback and his eldest son Xu Fengnian is unscrupulous, but with Xu Fengnian's fame, few people mention it.

Zhang Xiucheng sighed, but it was a pity that he couldn't take a look at the general who had a great merit and a good death.

Restraining these useless thoughts, Zhang Xiucheng looked at the sky outside the window, it was time for him to go out of the city, and the big boss was still waiting with their own news.

Zhang Xiucheng suddenly sat back in his position, asked Qingzhu Niang to put back the cups, chopsticks and dishes, poured a glass of wine, and drank slowly.

She leaned against the window, quietly looking at the bustle of the foreign market.

After Xu Fengnian rode the wild goose north of Dazhan City, in order to prevent the occurrence of branches, he abandoned his horse, crossed the mountains and mountains on foot, and traveled north quickly on the mountain road where he was rarely hunted.

Mi Fengjie and Fan Xiaochai were both impressed by the child, it is not surprising that he has a good understanding at a young age, but it makes no sense that his internal strength is so strong.

Of course, they couldn't even imagine that the shepherd boy Yu Dilong inherited half of Wang Xianzhi's mantle.

During the trip to Jizhou, Feng was always able to find Xu Fengnian accurately in the sixth year and pass on the battle situation in Youzhou.

When a group of four people ran along a canyon on the back of a high place, Xu Fengnian suddenly stopped his figure again, and raised his arms to support the handsome Hai Dongqing who broke through the clouds and fell.

Mi Fengjie saw that the King of Beiliang, who usually looked flat, was a little dignified this time, and stood on the edge of the cliff in a daze.

Yu Dilong sat on the ground, took off the sturdy cowhide boots and lifted them upside down, and poured out the sand and gravel.

Mi Fengjie couldn't help but ask: "The battle in Hulukou is unfavorable" Xu Fengnian shook his head and said: "In the first contact battle on the Zaoma Village side, the battle damage between the two sides was actually still expected by Chu Lushan and Yan Wenluan.

But judging from the spy reports I have received so far, some accidents outside the battlefield must be taken seriously.

Yang Yuanzan personally led the vanguard army to the Lying Bow City.

Since ancient times, the northern nomads who have lived on horseback for half their lives have naturally been skilled in riding and shooting, but in the early days of the founding of the Dafeng Dynasty, they still maintained an absolute advantage over the grassland forces, and you may not think that even at the end of the Dafeng Dynasty, even if they did not rely on the city's solidity and elite bows and crossbows, the battle between the Feng army and the grassland cavalry could still be tied.

The two sides have reversed the outcome of the victory, that is, the two hundred years of things, countless trips of border trade with smuggled goods for huge profits, coupled with the return of countless plunders from the south and downstream in the past two hundred years, so that the northern grassland has a considerable scale of craftsmen and iron tools, the Spring and Autumn Dynasty scholar Hong Jia ran north, but also brought a rich population, profound Central Plains culture, and a subtle concept of war to Beimang.

Dong Zhuo's private army attaches great importance to foot soldiers, siege cities, and auxiliary soldiers, which is one of the significant changes. ” Xu Fengnian squatted down, grabbed a handful of loess, gently held it in the palm of his hand, and said: "Beimang claims to have invested 300,000 troops on the Eastern Front in one go, if we push forward for thirty or forty years, we are in the early days of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Nine Kingdoms in the Central Plains, and we will definitely take it for granted that the so-called 300,000 soldiers and horses will be more than 100,000 soldiers if they die, even if you add the people who transport grain and grass and the auxiliary soldiers who are responsible for maintaining the baggage equipment, it will not reach 300,000.

This kind of bad habit of making oneself bold before the war, Xu Xiao may not be the first person to resist, but Xu Xiao is definitely the most resolute and thorough general, from the beginning of his attack on the major Liyang Domain towns, he has 5,000 soldiers and horses.

Later, there was a big joke, when the Northern Han Dynasty was just beaten, the generals of the Northern Han front heard the spy report that Xu Xiao brought 20,000 when he went on the expedition, and the general who defended the city pinched his fingers and counted, okay, according to the old rules, there are only six or seven thousand people, at most 10,000, and some of the battles are fought, so there is no need to retreat.

In the end, the general of the Northern Han Dynasty was captured by Xu Xiao, and before beheading the flag, he scolded Xu Xiao for being a big liar, Xu Xiao was so angry that he kicked off half of the general's teeth, and scolded back, Lao Tzu said that 20,000 is 20,000, Tong Su is not bullied, such an honest person You also have the face to scold a liar" Yu Dilong was originally dangling two boots around, as if he wanted to take some wind in the boots.

Hearing this, he also quieted down and pricked up his ears to listen to the master talk about something that was far away from him, "war".

Xu Fengnian clenched his five fingers, felt the coolness brought by the loess in his palm, and said with emotion: "Don't talk about the middle line of Beimang Liangzhou and the west line of Liuzhou, there are 300,000 soldiers on the eastern line of Youzhou, and there are more than 200,000 soldiers, and the remaining 100,000 auxiliary soldiers are actually no different from soldiers.

Beimang rode more and walked less, Dong Zhuo set the rules, this time to go out to fight, the soldiers were not allowed to set up tents on the way to attack, dismount and close their eyes to sleep, and open their eyes to fight on the horse.

The reason why there are 100,000 auxiliary soldiers is more for the fortress system of Hulukou, Yang Yuanzan to deal with the Zaomazhai fort group, is to hand over the auxiliary soldiers from all walks of life to attack the city and pull out the village, most of the generals in the 100,000 auxiliary soldiers, most of the parents are the remnants of the Spring and Autumn Period, or directly the forty or fifty-year-old relics of the Spring and Autumn Period themselves.

And Yang Yuanzan's pro-army and Hong Jingyan's Rouran Iron Cavalry, these main cavalry directly bypassed the walled fort, drove straight down, and tried to advance to the Wogong City as quickly as possible, and when the large army came to the city and the siege equipment arrived, then the rear front had almost been cleaned, and the conscripts in Longjiao Prefecture who were responsible for the supply of grain and grass could continue to go south safely.

Therefore, in this battle, Beimang and Dong Zhuo fought very centrally. ” Fan Xiaochai said coldly: "In this way, the fortress north of Wogong City is clearly a dead word, why doesn't Youzhou simply line up the three cities of Wogong, Luanhe, and Xiaguang in the northernmost line of Hulukou, don't you just stop the Beimang army outside the pass, don't you have to worry about the major forts being slowly encroached upon by the Beimang cavalry."

In the final analysis, for the sake of that male armor in the world, you Beiliang don't take the lives of soldiers in your eyes."

Mi Fengjie looked at this girl with the eyes of an idiot, and there was an unprecedented smile on the old man's dry face, of course, this smile must have nothing to do with kindness.

This is not to say that Mi Fengjie seized the loophole in Fan Xiaochai's words at once, the idea of the master of the Shenjian Cave is extremely simple, the Beiliang generals who have soaked in the blood and water on the battlefield and have been lying in the pile of dead people, especially the veteran Yan Wenluan and others who have proved their war talent with the Spring and Autumn War, how can they be fools who sell their reputation Xu Fengnian did not laugh at Fan Xiaochai for not having a backache when she stood and talked, or ridiculed her for the frog at the bottom of the well, but raised his fist holding the soil and nodded at the canyon at his feet, and said calmly: "The gourd mouth is not here, I personally walked outside the plug, and I can generally imagine how big the gourd mouth is."

In addition, in military affairs, where to build a city by a mountain, where to build a pass, where to build a fort near the water, and where to build a fire according to danger, not only are they all exquisite, but they also have all kinds of complex adaptations.

Hulukou, is the most unique terrain of Beiliang Road and the only one with natural depth of defense of the important place, you say let the fort soldiers die, in fact, right, once the enemy army is big, these soldiers who defend according to the danger, the danger is not enough to defend the life, can only defend and defend to the death. ” Xu Fengnian clenched his fists, the wind and sand on the cliff blew on his face, blowing his sideburns and horns, and said: "Bei Liang only told the Northern Barbarians who could fill in the mouth of Liyang Hulu, and most of the people in the Central Plains didn't want to believe it.

If Yan Wenluan wanted the 50,000 Youzhou defenders of the three cities and two hundred fortresses in Hulukou from the beginning, he wanted all of them to die in Hulukou."

Xu Fengnian, whose tone was always calm, paused slightly, and then smiled, "I'm afraid that even if Zhongyuan heard about this, he would pretend not to hear it."

Maybe oh, and then there's no more.

It is time to drink, to enjoy the snow, to enjoy the snow, to talk clearly, and to be proud of life. ” Fan Xiaochai bit her lip, still stubbornly asked: "One person is willing to fight to the death, a hundred people are willing, even if a thousand people are willing, but the 50,000 border troops in Youzhou are really willing to die knowing that they are going to die in Hulukou, and their parents gave them two legs, and they will not escape."

Mi Fengjie can finally teach this girl who can't do anything but kill people with confidence, and sneered: "You, the legacy of the first-class nobles of the old Northern Han, where can you know what the people of Beiliang think."

It has only been more than 20 years since the general became the ruler of Beiliang, and the army's heart is still there, not to mention that the Beiliang border has not been a peaceful day for so many years.

When you are a soldier and go into battle to kill the enemy, Beiliang is the best in the world, but you don't just rely on Beiliang's horses and bows and crossbows and cool knives, in the final analysis, it is that kind of qi that supports you Fan Xiaochai, do you understand?"

Xu Fengnian was noncommittal, and said softly with a slight bitterness: "Beiliang has always claimed to the outside world that there are 300,000 iron cavalry, and the good deeds of Liyang have always been very curious about how much money Xu Xiao has saved for me, how many cavalry soldiers there are, how many border troops and local garrisons there are. ” Yu Dilong asked softly, "Master, how many are there?"

Xu Fengnian was in a trance, and after turning his head, he said softly with a smile: "Guess" Yu Dilong shook his head.

Xu Fengnian looked at the northwest sky again, there was once an old man who didn't know when he was old, and he liked to say that you guess two words, Xu Fengnian always replied with a blank eye, stepping on your uncle, he would smile and answer yes, it was your father.

Xu Fengnian put away this little thought, and said in a deep voice: "The Hulukou Youzhou garrison is willing to defend to the death, there is the reason you said in Mi Fengjie, but the more important thing is not said.

There are less than 2 million households in Beiliang, limited by a small area, and no matter how you recuperate, the population is always less than 10 million.

Then let me ask you a very simple question, there are only two million households, and there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Beiliang, which family does not have people in the army, if the Beiliang border army is destroyed, which family does not need to wear a vegetarian cloth?"

Xu Fengnian gritted his teeth and said: "Among them, almost all the young and strong people in Youzhou are in the local army of Youzhou, behind all the garrisons of the two hundred forts in the three cities of Hulukou, almost a stone's throw away, that is, if they die one more person in their hometown, their family may be able to live one more day, the reason is as simple as that."

Xu Fengnian slowly stood up and said: "Yan Wenluan, who is in charge of Youzhou's military affairs, he has set an unwritten rule, when Xu Xiao was alive, there were countless Youzhou officials who lashed out. ” Mi Fengjie didn't know about this, but Fan Xiaochai, who became the big spy in the water room, knew it very well.

"The border army of Youzhou has an iron law, no matter who it is, those who retreat from the battle, once it is verified, the whole family will be beheaded" "Yan Wenluan once told me personally that he could not be the commander of the Beiliang Infantry Army, and he could even hand over the military power of the Youzhou Border Pass to others, but no one could change this rule before he died in battle.

I, Xu Fengnian, can't either."

Xu Fengnian exhaled a breath of turbidity, squinted his eyes and muttered softly: "This is war, this is Beiliang." ” The mountain wind was fierce, Xu Fengnian stood on the edge of the cliff, a little far away from the three of them, and looked a little alone.

Fan Xiaochai hesitated for a moment and asked, "What to do next?"

Xu Fengnian smiled: "Do whatever you can."

When I came to Jizhou, I have been doing the same thing all this time. ” Mi Fengjie, who had noticed the clues before, asked carefully: "The prince is trying to return to the peak of martial arts."

Xu Fengnian replied: "There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and even if there is really no road under my feet, I have to come out by myself." ” There is a huge stone Buddha outside the city of Dunhuang, with Xiongshan as the embryo.

Day after day, year after year, the Buddha smiles at the world and has compassion for the world.

The main hall of Wudang Mountain has the Zhenwu Emperor, who has stood with a sword for hundreds of years.

In the holy temple, the most holy, sub-holy and many accompanying sages are still dead.

He said softly: "Observe at ease, no one is at home, ask if your home is at this time, and you will be at ease when you know where you are."

If the Buddha comes, there is a future and a future, how to get this life, has come and seen as if it comes. ” The Daomen sits and forgets to realize immortality.

Buddhism visualizes and asks to let go.

Confucianism is benevolent, courteous, and recognizable.

Xu Fengnian closed his eyes, stretched out his hand and spread it out, letting the wind blow away the yellow sand in his palm.

When Xu Fengnian finally rushed to Hengshui City, a middle-aged man who deliberately wore a plain Confucian shirt went out of the city alone to greet him, say a word, and give each other a gift.

When Xu Fengnian rode his horse away, Yonghui's six-year Bangyanlang said goodbye for a long time.

"I left Jiangnan in the seventh year of Yonghui, I carried a bag of hometown soil, fourteen years later, the soil has long dissipated, leaving only this old cloth bag, I implore that after I die, the Beiliang horse's hooves can one day step on the hinterland of Beimang, and then take a handful of Beimang soil, and sacrifice to Wei Jingtang" “”:
