In the night, a convoy quietly entered Liangzhou City, unimpeded through the city gate of the night ban, Qingliangshan immediately opened the Yi Gate, and the Beiliang Mansion opened the door with this super high specification that should only treat the monarch and the prime minister. ， Troika, a family of three white-clothed monks, plus the little monk from the north and south, the four of them took the first carriage, Mr.
Bai Yu of Longhu Mountain, Mr.
Bai Yu, and Wudang Mountain Qingshan Guan Han Gui Qingxin Master and Apprentice took the next one, and the last one sat in Shangyin School Palace Chang Sui Xu Huang and others.
Qingliang Mountain led by Xu Weixiong led a large group of people out to greet this group of distinguished guests, Song Dongming, the deputy envoy of Beiliang Road, stood behind a group of curious staff adjutants, and now Song Dongming's official residence built in the middle of the mountain is known as Beiliang Longmen, and the Wutong Courtyard where Xu Fengnian lives is called Fengge, which shows Song Dongming's transcendent status in Beiliang officialdom now.
It can be regarded as a revisit to the old place, only Li Dongxi and the little monks in the north and south, Li Dongxi's eyes are sharp, and he suddenly saw Song Yu, the big housekeeper of the palace, and trotted over to ask for warmth, Song Yu, who has been in charge of the Xu family for most of his life, saw this little girl, and he was also happy, this stereotypical old man who was cold-faced Yama Luo who was privately said to the officials of Liangzhou was unprecedentedly squeezed out of a smile, probably because he was really not used to greeting people with a smile, and he looked a little stiff, However, the old man still smiled and explained that he personally accompanied Miss Li to visit the fat powder shop, which made the little girl very happy.
Lu Chengyan and Wang Chudong did not show up, after all, as two daughters-to-be princesses, it was not etiquette to go out to welcome guests.
After Xu Weixiong first said hello to the white-clothed monk and Mr.
Bailian, he walked in front of Chang Sui and the others, Chang Sui raised the empty wine gourd and shook it, and said with a smile: "Green ant wine, no more, no less, one pot a day, junior sister, your family has a big business, this is no problem."
Xu Weixiong nodded and said: "It's okay to drink, it's just that senior brother remember not to run to listen to the tide lake in the middle of the night to drink, and when the time comes, fall into the water, just wait to feed the fish." ” Jin Baofang shouted with red eyes, a little choked.
Xu Weixiong smiled softly: "I haven't seen you for a few years, and I've become a big girl, do you want my senior sister to help you be a matchmaker Our men here in Beiliang, although they are all rough men who are used to drinking the northwest wind and eating too much desert yellow sand, they are not as good as the poetry and books of the Central Plains scholars, but after dealing with them for a long time, you will know that you can pick up the burden better than the scholars who write like gods."
Especially the man over there, riding the best horse, wearing the best sword, drinking the strongest wine, and killing the barbarians of Beimang, must have a taste for his junior sister. ” Jin Baoshu grabbed Xu Weixiong's hand and hugged it in his arms, and smiled as if he was coquettish: "Senior sister, you are not married, what am I anxious about?"
Xu Weixiong turned his head to Xu Huang, Sima Can and Liu Duanmao, and the three of them each said hello, and there was no extra words, just to shout out to the senior brother and junior brother.
The white-clothed monk stood next to his daughter-in-law, looking at Bai Yu and Song Dongming at first sight, one was a Taoist real person who was deeply valued by the emperor, and the other was a scribe who was expected to be a great minister in the temple.
But Li Dangxin recalled the previous secret conversation about the leader of Zhao Gou in Wudang Mountain, the white-clothed monk really felt a little tired, sighed softly, no longer paid attention to Bai Yu and Song Dongming's conversation, and looked at the surrounding scenery after entering the palace.
Soon, there were staff members who served in the "Dragon Gate" lined up to Li Dangxin's side, probably because the deputy economic envoy had told the adults in advance, these Beiliang officials, who had admired the white-clothed monks for a long time, did not dare to open the chatterbox to pull family routines, they all respectfully signed up for the family, at most one or two words of compliment, the white-clothed monks smiled and nodded one by one, and the latter everyone did not feel that the abbot of the two Zen temples was arguing.
Who didn't know that after the white-clothed monk returned to Tai'an City after traveling thousands of miles west, he saw that the emperor who personally led the horse for him only folded his hands and saluted, and did not even turn over and dismount This group of officials who jumped over the Beiliang Dragon Gate was already an officialdom who practiced a certain Taoism in the public gate, so as not to snub the famous Wudang Mountain Dazhen Han Gui, who was very sincere in asking for some Taoist health preservation techniques, not to mention anything else, Han Gui, who is very hopeful to become the next Wudang head of the teaching, can not be regarded as a cold stove, and in the future, it will be the same level as the six Shangshu Yu Yiqingxiang, who dares to snub In addition to the white-clothed monk and his daughter-in-law to the big housekeeper Song Yu to lead a house to stay, the east and west girls and the little monks from the north and south broke away from the big team early, and wandered around familiarly, and saw the maid along the way, she could accurately call out the name and add a sister by virtue of memory, and the clever maids of Qingliang Mountain of course remember this little girl vividly, so that His Royal Highness the prince of the world was a spoiled character like a sister, the little girl has a good temperament, and it is difficult to dislike it.
Bai Yu and Chang Sui and his entourage followed Xu Weixiong and Song Dongming to the unique official residence located in the middle of the mountainside, saying that it was the official residence of the deputy economic envoy, but in fact it was a continuous and small courtyard, where a deputy economic envoy and more than 30 auxiliary officials handled government affairs and clothing, food, housing and transportation.
Those Longmen civil officials who were like the big and small Huangmen Lang of the Liyang Imperial Court dispersed, and each went back to his own home, and continued to be busy dealing with the affairs that had been collected from the Assassin Mansion of the Three Prefectures of Beiliang.
In the last room, in addition to Xu Weixiong who was in a wheelchair, Song Dongming, an important minister from the second-rank frontier who had to pinch his nose and admit that the Liyang Imperial Court had to admit, Bai Yu and Chang Sui, who had temporarily entered Qingliang Mountain as first-class guests of the palace, Xu Huang, who was about to go to Huaiyang Guandu to serve in the palace of the protector of the palace, in fact, there was already Sima Can, a longitudinal and horizontal family who was too guarded by Tieyou County, Lingzhou, Liu Duanmao, who was about to enter the Lingzhou Thorn History Mansion as Xu Beitong's staff, and the Jin Bao room who wanted to enter the Wutong Courtyard, and sat down respectively.
Xu Weixiong got straight to the point and said: "Sure enough, as Mr.
Bailian expected, the battle situation on the western front is extremely unfavorable to my Beiliang, the prince has personally gone to Liuzhou, judging from the latest spy news from the day, all the cavalry troops garrison in Liangzhou have received military orders and began to dispatch urgently, but in addition to the two armies and six thousand horsemen who were originally in the west of Liangzhou, as long as they wait in place, there is no need to travel a long distance, and the soldiers and horses who have been following the prince and eight hundred white horses are behind him, except for the one thousand horned eagle cavalry led by Luo Hongcai, who was close to Wudang Mountain at that time, There are two captains who will follow the route for a total of 2,300 horses, and the rest of the Liangzhou cavalry, the fastest one, will be one day later than the prince to reach the border of Liangliu and Liangliu, and the slowest will take four days, which is still under the premise of completely ignoring the physical strength of the war horse, because the scale of the North Liangdao is second only to the Tianjing Horse Farm in the Xianli Horse Farm, which is not far from the gathering place where the prince is located, and can draw out 600 first-class war horses and 4,000 second-class war horses, which is probably our only good news. ” Xu Weixiong paused, and said with a solemn face: "It's not a secret, Chang Sui has taken 50,000 cavalry to easily capture the two cities of Jibei and Hengshui, and the most elite cavalry army that confronted Liyang and Liao is going to the east gate of Youzhou, the purpose is to cooperate with Yang Yuanzan's army in the mouth of the gourd, trying to destroy half of Youzhou in one go." ” Xu Huang slowly asked: "Even if the Youzhou infantry army of the great general Yan Wenluan divides its troops to the north to support Xiaguang City, under the premise that Youzhou itself has 30,000 cavalry, it is not difficult to hold the last line of defense at Hulukou and the border of the eastern front at the same time."
Xu Weixiong smiled bitterly: "Originally, it was like this, but we set up two whimsical principals, and at the insistent request of the two of them, not only did we let the 30,000 Youcai cavalry go north from Hezhou to Hulukou, but even the 10,000 Snow Dragoon Cavalry and the two heavy cavalry troops left their respective stations and rushed to Hulukou."
So now not only is the situation in Liangzhou Hutou City critical, but in fact, the rear of the two major military towns of Huaiyang Pass and Liuya Poria is equivalent to empty.
In addition, now that the cavalry troops in Liangzhou have rushed to Liuzhou to fight the fire, once Hutou City is lost, my Liangzhou will be in an unimaginably terrible situation.
The two deputy commanders of the cavalry, He Zhonghu and Zhou Kang, who were at the border of Liangzhou, and Gu Dazu, the deputy commander of the infantry army, the forces that the three of them currently held were obviously not enough to support the situation created by the loss of Hutou City, so Chen Yunchui, another deputy commander of the infantry army, had already led 30,000 elite infantry soldiers to Liangzhou. ” Xu Huang's expression moved slightly, and he began to quickly calculate the gains and losses in his heart.
Chang Sui's wine gourd was already filled with green ant wine, and he drank it alone and got carried away.
Song Dongming was sitting precariously, Bai Yu squinted, not knowing what he was thinking.
Xu Weixiong said in a deep voice: "Now we can only hope that Liuzhou will not lose, and at the same time, Huaiyang Pass cannot be lost, so that my Beiliang can successfully fight an unprecedented encirclement and annihilation battle in Hulukou, otherwise even if Hulukou is victorious, let alone the fall of Huaiyang Pass, even if it is the respective forces of Liangliuzhou and Beimang Hulukou, we can't afford to exchange one for one."
After all, Beiliang is only fighting the power of one country with the power of one place, Beimang can afford it, but we can't afford it. ” Xu Huang said softly: "In this way, whether the Liangzhou reinforcements of the prince can change the situation of the battle in Liuzhou is very important, whether Chu Duhu can keep the first line of the Beiliang border pass composed of the two towns of Hutou City and Huaiyang Pass, Liuya and Poria is very important, and whether Commander Yuan can block and eat up the more than 200,000 troops in the mouth of the gourd with the Youzhou cavalry is very important." ” Xu Huang repeated three crucial ones.
This means that Bei Liang wants to win this shocking gamble, one ring after another, and there must be no major mistakes in each link, otherwise it will be a total loss.
Chang Sui wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth, and asked with a smile: "Then I only ask about the most confident battlefield in Beiliang, the gourd mouth, Yuan Zuozong's big snow dragon cavalry, plus the two heavy cavalry armies of the dragon that have been missing for twenty years, plus the Youzhou cavalry army of Tian Heng Yuluan's knife, how sure is it that Yang Yuanzan's old turtle is caught in the urn."
Xu Weixiong smiled and stretched out a hand.
Chang Sui rubbed his chin and said regretfully: "It's only fifty percent, then it's hanging."
I have to think about finding a way back for myself, otherwise I might be able to hear the sound of the horse's hooves under the buttocks of Qingliang Mountain. ” Xu Weixiong slowly flipped his palm again.
The corners of Bai Yu's mouth curled.
Chang Sui glared and said, "Senior Sister Xu, are you teasing me?"
Xu Weixiong smiled and said: "Although the number of soldiers and horses blocking Hulukou is small, it is almost half of my father's family foundation that has accumulated for most of his life, if he can't win, where will Beiliang have the confidence to confront Beimang's million-strong army."
Chang Sui suddenly smiled and said: "Otherwise, I will go to Youzhou Xiaguang City, senior sister, you let me lead a heavy cavalry army."
Xu Weixiong sneered: "Senior brother, if you can quit drinking, I will agree." ” Chang Sui said stupidly: "Then forget it." ” Xu Huang suddenly frowned and said, "I heard that Beimang's side has spared no effort to build two royal tent heavy horses named after the two surnames of Yelu Murong. ” Xu Weixiong said softly: "It has nothing to do with Hulukou, one of the border espionage reports I just got, has rushed to the border of Liuzhou."
This is the real confidence of Liu Qi to annihilate the entire army of 30,000 dragon elephant horses. ” The whole room fell silent.
Bai Yu, who had not interjected, smiled bitterly and shook his head gently.
Jin Baofang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask: "The reinforcements of the cavalry army in Liangzhou, even if they can reach the battlefield in time, are they still useful?"
Xu Weixiong said helplessly: "If you want me to say, it is just to do my best to obey the destiny of heaven." ” The room fell silent again.
Xu Weixiong smiled happily for some reason, without a look of depression, "But if it is replaced by a certain guy, he will definitely not think so, he will only say one sentence, it is better to lose than admit defeat, okay, fight and talk again" Hutou City in Liangzhou, inside the mouth of the gourd, outside the Qingcang City in Liuzhou, and on the border of Youdong.
Beiliang fought on all four fronts. “”:
