Chapter 224: The Four Battles of Northern Liang (6)


Watching the fire from the other side has become playing with fire, which is the best portrayal of the defense line of Liyang Beiguan. , As the gateway to the north of Jizhou, the two cities of Silver Harrier Hengshui fell at the same time, and the soldiers of 50,000 iron cavalry in Beimang went straight to the direction, so that everyone in Jizhou was in danger.

For a time, the court hall in the capital was very lively, and some people advised Xu Gong, the left attendant of the military department near the water, to take over the vacancy left by Tang Tieshuang after entering Beijing as an official, and "assist" Gu Jiantang of the Great Pillar State to deal with the military and politics of the north; Some people suggested that Zhao Sui, the king of Jiaodong, who was sitting in western Liaoning, reinforce Liaodong and attack it, so that the 50,000 cavalry army had to return to the eastern front to prevent the situation in Jizhou from completely eroding; There are also people who impeach the Jizhou general Yuan Tingshan for improper scheduling, which caused the war to spread in Jibei, and it is difficult to take on the important task, and Han Fang, the deputy general behind the Jiangmen, should be fully in charge of the military affairs of Jizhou.

When the western front of Guangling Road was arranged by Xie Xicheng, it not only successfully blocked the 100,000 troops in southern Xinjiang who had crossed the river, but even sent a surprise army to attack a dangerous pass on the south bank of the Guangling River, so that the soldiers and horses in southern Xinjiang were lost.

In this imminent emergency situation, the civil and military officials of Tai'an City became more and more worried, and finally couldn't stand the immobility of the two Liao border armies, and the Northern Mang barbarians fought the northwest to the death, and you Gu Jiantang was right to not move at all, but even the easternmost line of Beimang that you were staring at went to Jizhou to fight the autumn wind, obviously to bypass the two Liao defense lines built by leaning half of the country into taxes, and to use Jizhou, which was empty of troops due to the absence of Jinan's old pawns, as a breakthrough to the Central Plains in the south.

If you General Gu can still be indifferent, you are not afraid that Beimang's 50,000 iron cavalry will kill us in one go, although you Gu Jiantang is the only remaining Great Pillar Country of the current dynasty, but your old man's heart is really too big.

There is a Taiping town in Liaodong near the border of Jizhou, most of the residents in the town are from the border army, and there are also some officials who have been degraded by the imperial court and migrated here, occasionally there will be business trips through the town, and they will carry some small business along the way, the first four or five years of the cheap and high-quality green ant wine is in demand here, but unfortunately after Gu Jiantang stepped down as the secretary of the military department, he led the title of Dazhu and concurrently served as the governor of the two Liao, and the border army knew that General Gu did not deal with Beiliang, and the green ant wine produced in Beiliang was not sold by many merchants over the years.

Although the sparrows in Taiping Town are small, there are three or four restaurants, and even the Qinglou of the Eight Classics has one, and there are more private prostitutes in the small kiln, and the border army generals also turn a blind eye to this, and it is better to be sparse than blocked, the Liaodong border army is known as the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Liyang Dynasty, all of them are young and strong men, but they have been confronted with the North Mang Barbarians for many years, and they have always been peaceful, and there are few battles.

Some border army bigwigs with wide hands and eyes to Tianmen also have the ability to sell and buy young women from the vicinity of Gyeonggi and even the Jiangnan area of the Central Plains, and they can bring hundreds of people to Liangliao at a time.

Taiping Town is the most popular business of longevity restaurant, which is the private property of a real school captain, in addition to the green ant wine, basically the famous Liyang good wine, such as Jiannan spring burning, as long as there is silver, you can buy it here.

There are all kinds of women playing and singing in the restaurant all the year round, and their appearance is nothing more than the posture of a middle-aged person, but on the border where birds don't, it is also quite rare.

In the past two days, the longevity restaurant has come to the brother and sister, the young woman holds the pipa in her arms to tell people, and the brother is responsible for shouting and collecting rewards, which is not a strange thing, but the woman is going to die, only telling the story of Xu Fengnian, the king of Beiliang, how the surname Xu walked through the rivers and lakes of Liyang, how to enter Beimang alone, and how to win the hearts of the army and the people in Beiliang, which caused the anger of the residents of Taiping Town.

It's just that a group of people took the opportunity to bully the beautiful woman, and never wanted to give the young man who was not amazing, and the longevity restaurant was happy to see it, so he simply put forward the condition that the woman was allowed to tell stories in the building, which was to ask her brother to fight in the ring every day, and after ten years, the military players near Taiping Town actually lost, and the young man from the countryside won ten games in a row, and the longevity restaurant with good fortune began to sit in the village again, and it is estimated that he made at least nearly a thousand taels of silver, which caused the skin and meat business of the Qinglou in the town to be sharply reduced by several percent.

In the evening, the ring of the longevity restaurant has been finished, the restaurant walked into a group of extraordinary drinkers, the four of them asked for a table on the second floor by the railing, the woman downstairs was preparing for the second storytelling of the day, her brother changed into a new clean shirt that was washed to white, and the sewing was very strong.

The brother and sister went from Liangzhou to Lingzhou, and then from Lingzhou to Hezhou, and then through Jizhou, all the way to this town.

Different from Liyang's common blind storytellers' methods, the woman only has a pipa, never shakes her head when telling a story, laughs and scolds, and when the characters are sad or intense, she only raises her voice slightly, and most of the time the tone is plain and eloquent, like just a storyteller, as for whether the audience likes to listen to it, whether they are willing to give a reward or not, she doesn't care.

The four drinkers sitting on the railing on the second floor asked for a jar of Jiannan spring brewing known as "one catty to break the throat, two catties to burn the intestines", and a pot of Gujing Xianren brew that is very easy to eat and has little stamina.

Only two of the four people sat down, and the younger one wore a simple long knife at his waist, and his expression was self-righteous and high-spirited.

The man who seemed to be a young man and an elder had an indifferent face, and after unsealing the pot of immortal brew, he drank it himself.

The other two people standing have two Liaobian military swords hanging from their waists, although they do not have the status and identity of the two people present, but others can guess at a glance that they are good people who lead the army all the year round, otherwise the battlefield aura on their bodies would not be so strong.

The young man stretched his neck and glanced at the people downstairs, a little impatient, and frowned: "Why hasn't the surnamed Ji arrived yet, looking at the posture, he really thinks that he is one of the top ten masters in Daxueping." ” The older man with blue and white temples remained silent.

A burly man standing, who didn't seem to be pleasing to the eye, didn't smile and said: "General Yuan, Ji Liu'an is one of the ten people in Daxueping in Huishan, what should I not do." ” gave a sip of soju to the young man called General Yuan, and sneered: "A little girl tosses out of the martial arts commentary, and the village husband will take it seriously, in the final analysis, in fact, the old master of the Wu family's sword mound can barely be called a master, and the others, the ability of Chai Qingshan in Dongyue Sword Pond, is just a matter of being the king and hegemonic behind closed doors on Guangling Road, as for this sneaky palace master of the Southern Xinjiang Dragon Palace who came to Liaodong, what is it?"

The young man slowly rotated the wine glass with two fingers, glanced at the guy who demolished the stage, and said with a smile: "There are also Wei Miao and others, the first master of Nanzhao, who will be beaten to the north and south when they arrive in the Central Plains."

Haha, there is also the first swordsman Qi Jiajie in Tai'an City, the most ridiculous, thousands of miles of flying swords, such a big battle, but the sword has arrived in Hezhou, but Qi Jiajie has no more news.

Such a top ten master, the next five together, I'm afraid they are not worthy of any of the four martial arts evaluation to go all out."

The burly man was about to refute one or two, and pulled his sleeves to his colleagues, but finally swallowed the words back into his stomach, but snorted coldly.

The young man did not continue to point out, but turned his head to look at a middle-aged man across the two tables, the man was wearing a cardigan, his head was wrapped in blue, and his calves were wrapped in leggings.

But there is a plump woman sitting next to her, with gorgeous clothes, but it is not the kind of brocade and silk of the rich people in Liyang, but the brilliant color of tie-dyeing, it is difficult not to be eye-catching, it is clearly the Miao people's costume with the reputation of "five-color clothes and clouds".

The plump woman has a string of silver bells tied to her hands and feet, and when she raises her hands and feet, it will make a pleasant sound, and she has a snow-white arc moon scimitar with a scabbard on the table at hand, and when she drinks, one leg is placed on the bench with a big grin, if you look at it from the side, the slender thighs and round buttocks can be described as extremely graceful and attractive.

The woman also noticed the young man's gaze, smiled charmingly, drank the whole glass of wine in one gulp, and raised her eyebrows with the young man, full of provocation.

The young man put down his glass and reached out to his chest to make a gesture of holding a heavy object.

The plump breasted beautiful woman teased people, but instead of being annoyed, she laughed so much that she trembled, and in front of the man next to her, she pushed down the wine jar on the table with her palm, and the wine jar was castrated like thunder, and in an instant it hit the young man's back, and without seeing how the latter moved, the wine jar deviated from the trajectory and passed by, just dripping and whirling on the table, and then gradually stopped.

The woman smiled in a crappy Central Plains official accent: "You turtle is good-looking, as long as you drink, my sister will play friends with you." ” The burly man who didn't deal with the young man reminded softly: "This Miao couple is not an ordinary master of the rivers and lakes, the woman has already moved her hands and feet on the wine altar, and the Miao people are full of strange things, and they can't be guarded against, so it's best not to touch them." ” At this moment, the two of them came upstairs.

An old Confucian in a green shirt looks like a long and short sword, and a long and short sword hangs on his waist, just looking at the two scabbards, he knows that they are all hard-to-find sword weapons.

The man who had been about to raise his glass to drink had not intervened, and the two who were standing slightly apart to make way for the two guests who had arrived as promised sat on the same bench.

The old Confucian looked respectful and said softly: "Cheng Baishuang, a weeder in the countryside of Southern Xinjiang, has seen the Great Pillar Kingdom. ” In addition, the famous swordsman with an indifferent expression as if his face was paralyzed also spoke: "Dragon Palace Ji Liu'an is fortunate to see Dazhuguo. ” After the death of Xu Xiao, the old king of Liang, there was only one Great Pillar Kingdom in the whole world, Gu Jiantang, who held half of the Tiger Fu military power of the Zhao Dynasty.

Gu Jiantang smiled and nodded: "The two of you came to Liaodong in the north from southern Xinjiang, and they have worked hard. ” Just after the two top masters of the Southern Xinjiang Province sat down, the couple also got up and walked and sat on the only free bench, before that, it seemed that the burly man standing behind the Great Pillar Kingdom wanted to stop it, but Gu Jiantang had already gone to pick up the wine jar that had been taken down by Miao Gu, and the general, who had become the commander of the Liaodong Duoyan Iron Cavalry after Tang Tieshuang, quickly released his five fingers from the hilt.

The woman first threw a wink at the young general surnamed Yuan, and then smiled at Gu Jiantang and said, "The men in my family don't know how to speak your original dialect, so it's up to me, a woman, to discuss big things, and the general will forgive me." ” Cheng Baishuang frowned, then instantly stretched out, and asked with a smile: "Da Zhuguo, this is" Gu Jiantang didn't speak, except for the young people around him, he poured a bowl of wine for Cheng Baishuang Ji Lu'an and the couple, and at the same time, the young man who was left out interjected: "Cheng Baishuang, Ji Liu'an, what's the matter, my father-in-law will personally pick up the wind and wash the dust for you, and if you don't eat the toast poured in the bowl, you have to ask for punishment for drinking."

It was very unpeaceful to rush all the way to this Taiping Town, and Ji Liu'an, who was not in a good mood, narrowed his eyes.

Cheng Baishuang, who looked calm, picked up the wine bowl, shook his head and smiled: "I don't dare, I just ask curiously." ” Probably sitting next to Gu Jiantang at hand, the pressure was not small, the woman restrained her flattering posture, and said straight to the point: "My man, his name is Wei Miao, he is still a little famous in Nanzhao, of course, he is not as good as the palace master Ji and Mr.

Cheng, originally he would never set foot in the Central Plains in his life, but there is no way, the king of Shu and Mr.

Xie have spoken, we have to go." ” Gu Jiantang has only one daughter, so this son-in-law of Dazhuguo can of course only be Yuan Tingshan, the general of Jizhou.

Yuan Tingshan originally wanted to tease the woman a few words, but unfortunately, when he heard the woman downstairs who was holding a pipa and telling a story, say that the young vassal king surnamed Xu traveled to Huishan, Yuan Tingshan, who had a common enmity with the surname Xu, sneered, stood up suddenly, and propped himself on the railing with one hand, like a thunderbolt that slammed into the brother of the storytelling woman.

The young man who won a big victory in eleven rings in Taiping Town, with his arms staggered in front of his chest, was still kicked by Yuan Tingshan and slid out, and his slightly trembling hands were against a wine table with his elbows, but the whole table was overturned, and the wine and food were spilled all over the man's body, and the clothes he had just changed suffered again.

Yuan Tingshan stood in place and didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue, but just sighed and said with a smile: "Yes, it's quite hidden, and it's almost like a second-grade little grandmaster, no wonder it can be majestic in this town."

Lao Tzu wondered, the brother of a Beiliang storyteller, I think he is the master of the Beiliang Breeze Water House, right, he came to Liangliao to spy on the military situation."

The ordinary woman, who was just a storyteller, was stunned, and the young taciturn man turned his head to look at her, smiled apologetically, then nodded, and shook his head again.

The smile on Yuan Tingshan's face was even stronger, but the violence in his eyes and the killing intent all over his body made everyone in the restaurant feel terrified.

The young man whose real identity is a spy from Beiliang said in a deep voice: "It has nothing to do with Eryu, she is just a storyteller, I can die, she can't die." ” Yuan Tingshan heard a big joke, "Whether you die or not depends on whether I am in a good mood or not, but she can't die, why can't you rely on your three-legged cat skills or do you kid think that the identity of the dead soldier in the water room can scare me Yuan Tingshan" The young man from the water room stretched out his thumb to wipe the blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, and said, "Of course I can't. ” The young Beiliang Dead Soldier who was determined to die grinned, "On your territory in Liaodong, you Yuan Mad Dog can kill people, and I can't stop it even if I try my best, but do you dare to kill You don't wonder why an ordinary storyteller can let me accompany me all the way."

Yuan Tingshan's palm was pressed against the handle of the world's first rune knife, "Oh, if you say that, I'm almost scared to death Dad." ” The young man said indifferently: "Her name is Eryu, and she is a guest of our Chu Duhu." ” The young man added lightly, "She is a friend of our prince, although I don't know what the consequences will be if she dies in Liaodong, but I am sure of one thing, that is, the prince will personally discuss an explanation with the entire two Liao." ” Yuan Tingshan's five fingers suddenly clenched the Nanhua knife, and he was about to pull out the knife to kill.

A Xu Fengnian who is far away in the northwest, even if he is the king of Beiliang with 300,000 iron horses, even if he is one of the four great masters in the world, he still can't make Yuan Tingshan dare not kill a small dead soldier in the water house, and an ant woman who can only earn money by telling stories.

You Xu Fengnian are too busy to take care of yourself, and you still have the leisure to care about a woman's life and death But at this moment, Gu Jiantang, the big pillar country who didn't get up to greet the two groups of guests, didn't know when he was already standing near the railing, and said in a deep voice to Yuan Tingshan downstairs: "Enough." ” Yuan Tingshan didn't turn around, and the incomparably sharp Nanhua knife was about to come out of the sheath and see blood.

Gu Jiantang turned around and sat back in his position expressionlessly, but he had the famous knife in his hand that was given to Yuan Tingshan at the beginning.

Yuan Tingshan strode out of the restaurant, and left Taiping Town and Liaodong directly, returning to Jizhou.

The woman sighed softly.

The things that Xie Guanying, a fairy-like scholar, confessed in person, were mostly yellow.

The reason why Gu Jiantang behaved like this was actually to reject the two of them.

Because Southern Xinjiang and Western Shu have completely different attitudes towards Beiliang, or to be precise, towards Xu Fengnian.

Cheng Baishuang smiled slightly, lowered his head and took a sip of wine.

Good wine.

It's a pity that it's not the kind of green ant wine that His Royal Highness the Prince talks about every day, otherwise it would be better. “”:
