Chapter 284: Wind and Snow Iron Ride Down Jiangnan (7)


The Beiliang Iron Cavalry broke into the hinterland of Jiangnan Province, and there were tens of thousands of taels of Huai Border Army's previous experience, and this cavalry army that fought against Jing was unimpeded all the way, and the cavalry did not commit any crimes in the autumn of the place they passed, which barely gave the Zhao court a step.

If you look at the territory of Liyang today, Jiangnan Road, which is located north of the Guangling River, is actually not worthy of the name, but in the early Spring and Autumn Period, the territory south of Guangling has always been regarded as a barbarian land full of miasma, and the old Southern Tang Dynasty, which occupied most of the territory south of the Guangling River, in addition to fighting a few heart-wrenching battles under the leadership of Gu Dazu, caused a lot of trouble to the Liyang army led by the general Gu Jiantang at that time.

It is about the same as the number of casualties on the battlefield, according to legend, after the old emperor of Liyang settled the world, he said to the monarch of the Southern Tang Dynasty who was surrendered to Beijing, people are in Western Chu, and the location is in your Southern Tang Dynasty, but the sky is in my Liyang, and everyone in the world says that the time is not as good as the location and the place is not as good as the people, so in my opinion, this is not true.

After Liyang in the hands of the first emperor Zhao Dian and the state into the road, which set up Jiangnan Province, not without Wenchen to raise objections, suggesting that Jiangbei Province is more appropriate, but Wenzhi and martial arts are known as the best of the monarchs in the past Zhao Dan, laughing and rejecting, the reason is very rich in a kind of wild history of the legend, Zhao Dian took a large collection of poems newly compiled by the Hanlin Academy at that time at the court meeting, laughing that since ancient times, how many literati and scholars to express the beauty of the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, it is difficult for future generations to read this book, They also had to turn a corner and have to shift their gaze to see a note that "Jiangnan is today's Jiangbei in ancient times", and the word "north" is too hard, which is too bad for the scenery.

In Jiangnan Province, where thousands of miles of fertile soil has cultivated a prosperous literary style, this ironclad and strong Northern Liang cavalry army with strong horses is particularly abrupt.

Hong Shuwen, a group of young Beiliang barbarians who were born and raised in the northwest, are particularly unaccustomed to the water and soil, saying that the ground here is soft and soft, not refreshing, and there is no sound of horses' hooves stepping on it, not to mention the dusty flying when the horses are whipped in the desert outside the gates, and the beautiful scenery on both sides of the official road is the grass warbler flying and the willows spitting green, so that Hong Shuwen and others do not feel how to be pleasing to the eye, only feel that they are holding a breath of stuffiness in their chests, and they can't show their hands and feet.

Compared with these young warriors who are accustomed to the wind and snow of the yellow sand in the northwest, Yuan Zuozong and a group of big snow dragons who experienced the Spring and Autumn Wars when they were young are much calmer.

This iron cavalry marches day and night, and does not deliberately pursue the degree in the territory of Jizhou, Hezhou, Youzhou, but when it goes south to the Central Plains, it becomes extremely fast, but the cumbersome rules set by the Beiliang border army are still untouchable, and they want to form an invincible cavalry army.

In the past 20 years, the whetstone of the Beiliang border cavalry has always been only the Beimang army, such as the opponent of the Liangzhou crossbowman, the vast majority of them are brave enemies such as the crow column under Dong Zhuo, which makes the Beiliang border army form a very interesting illusion, that is, to a large extent, the overall combat power of the world's soldiers and horses is overestimated, which is just the opposite of the so-called elite soldiers and horses in Liyang, especially in the Central Plains, for example, Yang Shenxing's Jizhou infantry has always looked down on Yan Wenluan's infantry army, and the cavalry of Zhao Yi, the king of Guangling, firmly believes that it can have the strength to fight with the Beiliang iron cavalry.

The Qingzhou army in Jing'an Province has never taken the Beiliang Iron Cavalry seriously, and there have been leading generals who let it go, what iron horses are not iron horses, and a few catties of iron are iron horses, not to mention the poor places in Beiliang where birds don't, can the proportion of soldiers wearing armor reach half Then when this big snow dragoon army appeared in the Central Plains at a glance, the government and the opposition went up and down, closed the city, closed the camp and retreated, and of course, by the way, shut up.

In the deep night, near a scenic spot called Shuangluan Pond in Wucai County, Jiangnan Province, the cavalry stopped their horses and rested on the spot for three hours, and the Beiliang Ranger Scouts still cast their nets around in a military system, and returned ten miles, before the reconnaissance and parade, each ranger commander will take over a topography map from the hand of the standard commander, the drawing is extremely precise and rigorous, not only the name of the mountain and river pass is marked in detail, many times even the large and small village outposts are recorded, obviously, this is definitely not a temporary map, It is even more impossible to borrow it from the local government army, it can only be something that Beiliang has long recorded in the confidential archives of the border army, looking at the new and old drawings of those maps, the earliest is only about three years ago, what does this mean that the Beiliang border army, which has been entrenched in the northwest overlooking the Central Plains for 20 years, has never really ignored the Central Plains This kind of clues that are not visible in words and desktops have made the entire cavalry army from scouts to the main force, from the commander to the general, from top to bottom, there is a kind of suppressed heat that cannot be endured, like a stove in the snow.

The army was silent and clean, but the group walked slowly on this snowy night, quietly left the station, and rode to the famous thousand-year-old temple Hanshan Temple in Shuangluanchi, a famous spot in the south of the Yangtze River.

Nearly sixty years old, sackcloth and straw shoes, at a glance, looks like an old farmer who works in the fields all year round, but this person is a veteran figure who created a water house, and is regarded as a confidant by Chu Lushan.

The other person is the same age as the spy, surnamed Zhang Longjing, but the gas is diametrically opposed to the former, full of wealth and nobility, is a well-deserved wealth in Wucai County, black and white, nicknamed Zhang Fu, meaning that it is in Jiangnan Province Wucai County hand and eye to the sky, and a day is no different, Zhang's family is not an outsider in Wucai County, but it really rose 20 years ago, before it was only a county within the wealthy gentry family, in the hands of Zhang Longjing began to soar, rich and generous, do not forget to feed their hometown, generously funded nearly 100 poor scholars, More than a dozen of them are now real power figures with good official qualities, and the two most outstanding ones are respectively officials to the household department Langzhong and a state.

In order to take care of Zhang Longjing, who had not ridden for many years, the group did not go fast, which made Zhang Fu very uneasy, he originally arranged for his henchmen to come from the car, but the young vassal king temporarily wanted to go to Hanshan Temple to enjoy the scenery, Xun Gui such as Yuan Zuozong, the commander of the Northern Liang Cavalry, also rode a horse, Zhang Longjing dared to go by car alone, from a young and strong captain who was brave and good at fighting in the Xu family army, he became a young lieutenant who was brave and good at fighting, and he was immersed in officialdom in Wucai County for more than 20 years, and many battlefields and corners have been worn off, not to mention that the incense has been separated by a generation, Zhang Longjing didn't dare to lose etiquette in front of the famous Xinliang King.

This time the identity was leaked, and the Beiliang cavalry of the old lord Xu family funded grain and grass, Zhang Longjing, who was full of descendants, was not without concerns, and moved the whole body, in fact, all aspects inside and outside the family had ripples, not to mention the close, just say that those Han Shu disciples who sent charcoal in the snow in the early years of the Zhang family to help are now officials dressed in green scarlet, presumably the next letter of renunciation will be sent to the Zhang family's house, I can't say that the person who wants the Zhang family to be killed most is this group of people, Zhang Longjing, who is familiar with human feelings, thinks of this, It's still a little bitter.

But if you want to say regret, you can't talk about it, Zhang Longjing knows better than anyone that the Zhang family can have today's status, whether it is officialdom ability or status in the rivers and lakes, at this moment, the old spy Song Shanshui, who has never appeared in front of him, this old man behind the scenes hiding in the deep shadows, has made great contributions.

Zhang Longjing had a hot stinging pain on both sides of his legs, and he was in a trance for a while, as a veteran battalion cavalry soldier, he thought about following the general to fight in the north and south, and even being able to doze off on the back of a bumpy horse without falling off the horse, not to mention the extremely skillful horse fighting, I never thought that twenty years later, it would be so difficult to travel on horseback, it turned out that I was really old.

The words of the young vassal king interrupted this Zhang Fu's fugue, "Zhang Longjing, when my Beiliang cavalry returns the original way, will there be twists and turns in the matter of the Zhang family following us to move into Beiliang If there are any difficulties, you can raise them now, and take precautions, it is better than being in a hurry at that time."

Also, I said ugly things ahead, even if the Beiliang cavalry went to the battlefield of Guangling Road, as long as they still stayed in the Central Plains, generally speaking, no one would dare to touch your Zhang family, but if you don't migrate to the cold, the whole family will be a grim situation of making enemies on all sides, don't expect that your friends in the past will miss the old love, when the time comes, the court will not speak, and the local government and the local garrison will also be moved, so if there are young children in your clan who are lucky, you had better explain the truth to them, if you don't understand, you have to fight to understand, After all, it is better to have a family disharmony for a while than to have a broken family in the future.

Of course, just like the previous sixteen families, I can guarantee that after the Zhang family arrives in Beiliang, I dare not say that the days are more comfortable than in the original place, but it is certainly not much worse, whether the children of the family are from literature or martial arts, Beiliang will open the door of convenience, I have already said hello to Chu Lushan and Song Dongming, officialdom and the military will squeeze out more than 50 positions for you, and share them, a family can get about three, and the lowest official body is also the fifth grade of real power. ” Speaking of this, Xu Fengnian laughed at himself: "From the fifth grade, even if it is a little higher, it is actually a bit shabby for you county wang clans, so I can also promise you privately, if it is not a local garrison like Lingzhou, but a border army outside the Guan, the official rank can be one level higher, if it is not the Liangzhou officialdom, it is the Liuzhou Yamen, and it can be one level higher."

The second big war is imminent, and you can do it yourself by weighing the pros and cons here. ” Zhang Longjing was about to speak, Xu Fengnian suddenly turned his head and looked at this old soldier who had not forgotten the Xu family for twenty years, and spoke first: "Plus your Zhang family in Wucai County, my Beiliang cavalry army has traveled all the way, and the entire seventeen families have not hesitated to risk the crime of killing their heads to come to the front of the scene, I, Xu Fengnian, am very grateful to you, and I will try my best to win Beimang, so that you have no worries." ” Zhang Longjing was silent, his expression complicated.

The Zhang family has been in Wucai County and even the entire state road for many years, this time the head of the family is bent on going his own way, and the next violent rebound inside and outside the family will definitely not be less, but in the final analysis, the Zhang family has no way to retreat from Yang, and it is no longer a question of whether to live a moist life or not, but if you want to live, you can only retreat to Beiliang step by step.

Zhang Longjing has often asked himself recently, the children of the Zhang family have started a new door in a completely unfamiliar place, even if the young vassal king and the Beiliang officialdom are willing to open the back door and let the younger generation of the family take a shortcut, it is difficult to say whether it will go smoothly or not, whether it will be far or near.

The old spy Song Shanshui is also silent, compared to Zhang Longjing, who is only in a corner after all, he wants to know more secret insiders, in fact, after Beiliang Tieqi left the jurisdiction of the vassal king, the family that was taken care of and supported by the water house along the way was not seventeen, but twenty-four, and the four families in Jizhou, Hezhou did not hesitate to come forward and completely break with the imperial court, but further south, there began to be repeated generations, such as the two families in the north of Jiangnan Province, one because the previous head of the Xu family died for many years, this time he chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb, Later, the family secretly contacted Zhao Gou through the government, trying to draw a clear line with Beiliang, and the old head of the latter is still alive, what is the reason, whether it is greedy for wealth or taking into account the future of children and grandchildren, it is unknown.

After 6 and six more families have made similar choices, Song Shanshui believes that the farther away from Beiliang Road, there will only be more and more treacherous and wise families to protect themselves, but what makes Song Shanshui strange is that the water houses in various places are not moving, originally the old spy thought that he would clean up this group of white-eyed wolves in the future, but after following the Xinliang King tonight and seeing and hearing it with his own eyes, the ruthless old spy suddenly felt a little uncertain, and his intuition told him that it should be more likely that the well water would not violate the river water from now on.

Song Shanshui, who was born as a scout, felt a little regretful in his heart, feeling aggrieved for Bei Liang.

But for Bei Liang, especially that young man, the old spy was actually not disappointed, for this young vassal king who was thundering in Liyang at the moment, Song Shanshui had a somewhat familiar feeling that he should have been so familiar.

The soldiers who died on the battlefield before don't say that for all the people who are alive, the general Xu Xiao has treated him badly for so many years, and there are many generals in Beiliang who are like cow hairs, and there are fewer sons and daughters of the evil side, until the general died, he did not move these moths and these families, but tried his best to build the elite division of the Beiliang border army to guard the door, patrolling the border again and again, and more or less turning a blind eye to the black smoke miasma behind him, especially in Lingzhou, In the end, from beginning to end, he kept the promise of his early years, "I, Xu Xiao, have become rich and noble, and I want to ensure that my old brothers will enjoy happiness with me" Is it that if Liang Reckless does not fight, the new Liang King Xu Fengnian will not make a big move in the Lingzhou officialdom Originally, the old spy was very curious about this matter, but now he can't ask.

As for whether the Beiliang Iron Rider will go south to the Central Plains next time, and whether the New Liang King has the idea of sitting on the dragon chair.

The old spy suddenly stopped thinking about it for some reason.

In the following chatting between King Xinliang and Commander Yuan, the two old men learned that not only the Jizhou army was going south to intercept it, but the 20,000 Shu elites also went out of Shu to pursue eastward, and the Jing'an Road in the hinterland of the Central Plains seemed to be ready to move.

Once the war breaks out, the backbone of the Beiliang Iron Cavalry, who is really responsible for intercepting the backbone of the Beiliang Iron Cavalry, Xu Gong, the squire of the military department, will definitely carefully select a place that is not conducive to the cavalry to carry out the formation.

In Zhang Longjing's eyes, the Liyang Imperial Court is going to invite the king into the urn.

Zhang Longjing had to be worried, because after all, he had been away from the Xu family for more than 20 years.

I haven't even seen Liangzhou Hutou City, Youzhou Hulukou, and Liuzhou Qingcang City.

For the first time, the old spy took the initiative to chat with Zhang Longjing, who was on a par with him, and asked in a suppressed voice: "I'm afraid" Zhang Longjing, who was exposed to his heart, was not annoyed and angry, but just sighed: "It's not that I'm afraid, I'm just worried, I'm worried that the tiger will fall into Pingyang." ” The old spy sneered and said: "The tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by the dog, and the tiger roared in the Central Plains, and there was a fart dog barking" Zhang Longjing was dumbfounded.

The warm voice of the young vassal king suddenly came from the front, "Old Song, I will accept the sycophants, but there is no guarantee that you can be promoted in the water room, that is Chu Lushan's territory, and his words are more effective than mine." ” The old spy who is used to being moody and unobtrusive smiles.

Zhang Longjing turned his head and glared at the old bastard who had pitted himself, "The surname is Song, and I have never thought of it in my life, I will invite you to drink back."

The inconspicuous old spy replied softly, "I'll stay here for the rest of my life, and you Zhang Fu can't do it even if you want to." ” Zhang Longjing asked curiously: "Why don't you go back?"

The old spy tugged at the corners of his mouth, "I'm old, stay in the Central Plains, and rely on the little experience I have accumulated, maybe it's still a little useful."

When I went to the battlefield outside the Guanwai, I couldn't afford to lose this old face, for fear that the descendants of the Beiliang Border Army would look down on our Xu family. ” Zhang Longjing was speechless, only sighed.

Suddenly, the old spy opened his throat and shouted: "Lord Wang, let me shoot the sycophant again" The young vassal king in front of him turned his head and smiled: "But it doesn't hurt to say it, but if you say that you will go through the sky, you still won't be rewarded." ” The old man straightened his waist slightly, and the spy who hadn't used his real name for twenty years reported the three words that he was about to forget, and said: "If Song Hetian can be twenty years younger, I will follow the prince to kill the barbarians together, just like following the general, every time I rush to the battlefield, there is only one thought, when I die in battle, I will be surrounded by robes, and there are living brothers to help me live, and I will not lose money if I die."

Xu Fengnian continued to ride forward.

But Yuan Zuozong slowly slowed down, took off the saber at his waist, threw it over, and said with a smile: "Old Song, the prince has already sent out a lot of new cool knives this time, and I didn't bring it with me on this trip, so I will give it to you for the prince." ” The old spy caught the cool knife that killed 300,000 Beimang barbarians outside Beiliang Pass, and said with a bright smile: "Commander Yuan, I don't want a knife, a spy who can't see the light, I don't need it, and it's not appropriate to keep it." ” Zhang Longjing was confused and wondered: "Then why are you holding so tightly?"

I saw the old spy carefully hanging the war knife at his waist.

The old pawn wears a new knife.

I only heard the old man say in a deep voice: "Just let me, an old pawn, hang a cool knife for ten miles":
