All the way south, except for those above the lofty mountains, there is almost no snow left.
The cold spring is the most frozen bone.
Although the distance from the real battlefield, the army under the command of Wu Chongxuan, the new secretary of the Yang Army, and the confrontation front of the main force of the Western Chu to the west, are still some way away, but even if the generals and captains who do not need to know the first-hand battle situation to remind them that just by virtue of the marching route, more and more scouts from Liyang have appeared, which is enough for this Northern Liang cavalry to push out the general situation.
Even the action of washing and feeding the horses with that intimate energy is usually there, and it involuntarily reveals a bit of solemnity.
At dawn, there was still half an hour before the army pulled out the camp, Xu Fengnian, the king of Beiliang, who temporarily served as the main general of this iron cavalry, summoned all the generals and captains in the temporary simple military tent, together with Yuan Zuozong Ning Emei Hong Shuwen, a total of sixteen people, there was no table in the big tent, the half-zhang wide Guangling Road map was hung on the wall, the main pass city has long been clearly recorded, and even the number of garrisons everywhere has been carefully marked with meticulous vermilion letters, accurate to 100 people.
Xu Fengnian stood on the side under the map, still admiring the famous knife that he had snatched from Jiang Axe Ding back then, but he just took off the cool knife, Xu Fengnian looked at the cavalry generals who were standing in an arc, raised his war knife, and drew a route on the map that was enough to shock the Yamen of the Liyang Military Department, and said with a smile: "Next, we will pass through Luhe County, pass through the two counties of Weishui Baxia, and officially enter Guangling Road."
Maybe we walked too slowly in the two states of Huaibei, and then walked too fast in the Huainan Road, which caught the imperial army off guard, so we couldn't keep up with our pace, otherwise the Jizhou cavalry should have arrived in the area of Shanyin County with many mountain trails two days ago, and intercepted us in the lead, using the five sides and Songyun cities as a basis to hold on to the reinforcements, and wait until the Gyeonggi army of Xu Gong of the military department united with the local soldiers and horses to jointly defend this natural defense line with favorable geographical advantages, forcing our army to break through more than 80 miles to the south, and make a detour to the east into Guangling.
But in this way, we must collide with the Qingzhou soldiers and horses in the north of the fire, as long as there is a slight delay, Xishu, which is known as the 20,000 army, will also arrive in a mighty way. ” When Xu Fengnian said this, he paused slightly, and hooked the corners of his mouth, "It's a pity that the hairy-footed son-in-law of the Gu family is still running a little slower, so it is estimated that Xu Shilang has already pointed at General Jizhou's nose and spat at this time."
But if I have the opportunity to stand in front of Xu Shilang, I must intercede for the Jizhou general, damn you Xu Gong hid in the right wing of Jizhou and slowly swayed, why do you want us to be tired like a dog The Jizhou cavalry hurriedly rushed up to beat the Beiliang Iron Cavalry Who doesn't know that the big snow dragon rode on the horse and became a cavalry Beiliang, and the stepping step was not lost to the Youzhou infantry army at all Lao Tzu came to the Central Plains to make credit, but he was not in a hurry to reincarnate" In addition to the unsmiling Yuan Zuozong, the generals in the tent burst into laughter, especially a few veterans of the cavalry who had fought in the Spring and Autumn War, and they were even more grinning, although most of these people were generals and colonels who were obtained at the Beiliang border pass, but when they were still pawns before going to Liang, most of them had heard the boasting of the old captains in their respective armies, saying that the generals were indispensable to take the enemy every time they arranged their troops before the war, and it is said that even when the Battle of Xileibi was the hardest, the Xichu Ye Baikui, who was known as the Spring and Autumn Soldiers, did not escape the catastrophe.
When the laughter stopped, Xu Fengnian restrained his relaxed expression, and said in a deep voice: "Our big snow dragon cavalry is still more than 10,000 troops, but what is the real combat power, my family knows their own affairs, Hulukou completely annihilated Yang Yuanzan's army on the western front, my big snow dragon cavalry has the greatest combat achievements, but the casualties are by no means small, there are 3,400 people who died on the battlefield and had to withdraw from the border army because of injuries, and there are more than 1,200 people and 10,000 people afterwards, and in the end there are almost half of the old soldiers left, I might as well say something here to offend the two heavy cavalry armies, their casualties are also heavy, but relatively speaking, I dare to let these two cavalry troops choose people from the left and right cavalry armies in Liangzhou, and even from the elite cavalry in Youzhou and a small number of garrisons in Lingzhou, but for the big snow dragoon, not to mention Lingzhou, even Youzhou, I have not selected even one horse from outside the Liangzhou Pass, I Xu Fengnian can pat his chest and say, every new soldier has been screened by Qingliangshan and Duhufu, and every new lieutenant, Their battlefield resumes, I, Xu Fengnian, have seen them with my own eyes, and they must be agreed by Chu Lushan and Yuan Zuozong after I nod.
But even so, compared to the big snow dragon rider who rushed to Hulukou at the beginning, it is obvious that the current big snow dragon rider " All the generals in the tent who had made great achievements outside the customs felt a dull sense of suffocation, not only the title of King of Beiliang on that young man, but also the 6 immortals of the Jianghu Grandmaster, but also the personal prestige that Xu Fengnian had slowly accumulated bit by bit through what he had done in the past few years.
If you want to become the commander of the first army, you don't need to be the kind of 10,000-strong enemy who charges into battle, not only Xu Xiao is like this, even Gu Jiantang, who is a great grandmaster, in the early years, the number of times he took the lead in the Spring and Autumn War was actually not very frequent, and Chen Zhibao was even more so.
Winning battles and losing battles is actually enough.
And the young vassal king in front of everyone, the battlefield, the temple, and the rivers and lakes don't seem to have lost.
Of course, it is said that in a certain battlefield, our King of Beiliang has suffered a big defeat, and even the meritorious generals such as Yan Wenluan and Chen Yunchui occasionally heard their subordinates sneakily mention this matter, and never scolded him, but instead showed the kind of knowing smile that only the big men understand.
After Xu Fengnian sold a small pass, he said seriously: "Obviously, now this big snow dragon cavalry army, if you want to crush the Jizhou elite cavalry Jinggi army, there is still no difficulty." ” This time, even Yuan Zuozong couldn't help laughing.
Xu Fengnian said: "This time I took you to Guangling Road to wade through the troubled waters, the ordinary people of Beiliang must not know the truth, but everyone in the tent has more or less heard some, in fact, as you have heard and guessed, it is true." ” Without waiting for everyone to express their opinions, Xu Fengnian had already said in a deep voice: "No matter what, whoever has complaints, or even who wants to scold me, will wait until they return to Beiliang."
This time to the south, in addition to Cai Nan's two Huai border army, we have to fight out, and then before facing Wu Chongxuan's northern Xinjiang army, my purpose is to not fight if I don't fight, even if I ride a hundred imperial court soldiers and horses here, it is also a loss-making deal, of course, Xu Gong Yuan Tingshan These people have to die to stop to the end, then fight, once I am afraid of them before this, I still have something to explain to you first, the real evil battle is still with Wu Chongxuan, because this trip broke into Guangling Road, In addition to me to pick up one person, you also have to take the opportunity to absorb a certain number of Western Chu defeated army, the preliminary estimate is between two hundred and three hundred, most of them are young and prime, and they will appear as a small group of fleeing cavalry on the battlefield, when the time comes, we will provide them with Beiliang war horses and light armor, of course, as well as Liang Dao, and quickly disperse this army and horses into our army, after which Yuan Commander will lead you to leave the battlefield on the Western Front, and I will join you in one day at most. ” Xu Fengnian's cool knife pointed heavily on the map, "No accident, Xu Gong's Jinggi soldiers and horses and Yuan Tingshan's Jizhou cavalry will meet here, Xu Gong will take the city wall of Chaisang County as a stronghold, Cheye's Xishu infantry and Qingzhou army are located in the rear and south of our army respectively, each has a city pass as a support, the enemy's entire front presents a half-arc, although the terrain on both sides of Chaisang is flat, but the water network is vertical and horizontal, and it is not conducive to the galloping of the cavalry of the brigade through, because only one wide official road has been driven by the Chaisang government to destroy the people together, In particular, every 200 steps, digging a ravine of more than a foot wide, if there is another slightly heavier spring rain, it will be even more detrimental to our advance.
It is reported that Xu Gong's army carried a large number of heavy crossbows from the inventory of the military department, and there were 1,700 pairs of heavy armor, including a total of 4,000 people in the Shenjian Battalion of the Great Bow Battalion.
If we choose to bypass Chaisang City and stagnate on that official road, it is very likely that we will completely lose our original initiative as a cavalry army, then the 10,000 people who are out of ground after being surrounded will be able to fight against more than 60,000 people who can stretch freely on the battle line, not to mention that the opponent's coach is Xu Gong, a famous general who can be counted from Yang, so for us, whether to fight that Chaisang City or not is just a strategy. ” Hong Shuwen said cautiously: "Lord, the last general will look at the geographical situation near Chaisang, if you go around to the north, you will have to make a big circle, and there is also a Beigu City similar to Chaisang, but if we change the established marching route, go south, and do away the Qingzhou soldiers and horses that have not yet arrived in Chaisang, and then make the appearance of the soldiers coming to Jing'an Road, it will be more interesting to think about it, now the world knows that Jing'an Road from Jing'an King Zhao Xun to Jing'an envoys, the three masters of the house, all have a big gap with our Beiliang, Even if Xu Gongming knew that our original intention was to change the battlefield, he couldn't afford the risk of war in Jing'an Road, so he could only be led by our nose, as long as they left Chaisang, especially the Jizhou cavalry army and the Gyeonggi army were out of touch, then our opportunity would come, but the only thing to pay attention to was that we dragged the crossbowmen behind, and we had to kill more enemy scouts hanging from their tails. ” Xu Fengnian said with an innocent face: "Do I look like the kind of person who does not hesitate to fight for personal revenge?"
Hong Shuwen was silent.
Yuan Zuozong was the first to smile strangely: "Isn't it like it?"
The generals looked at each other and laughed out loud without giving face.
Xu Fengnian had expected this, and soon smiled and said: "Since this is the case, then do it to the end, Niu Qianzhu, you lead Qianqi to intercept the Xishu army, although the news is released along the way, under the banner of reminiscence, no one believes that we are here to quell the rebellion, so it just confirms their nonsense." ” A dark-skinned and burly man asked in a loud voice: "Lord Wang, is a thousand horses a little less?"
Xu Fengnian thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Then let Pang Jianrui lead a thousand horses to strengthen the momentum." ” The black charcoal-like man hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Lord Wang, that's not what I mean, I belong to a big captain, and I have never led more than 2,000 soldiers and horses in my life, this is not to take the opportunity to follow the prince to the Central Plains to wander, or to pretend to be a general, I don't dare to compare with the prince, as long as there are two thousand horses, it's really not good, let Lao Pang borrow me five hundred horses."
The more the man spoke, the lower his voice became, obviously a little weak-hearted.
Xu Fengnian raised his foot and made a gesture to kick, but Niu Qianzhu, the captain of the Great Snow Dragoon Army, hurriedly hid behind Pang Jianrui.
Xu Fengnian pointed at the Niu Lieutenant with the scabbard, and said angrily: "Okay, give you two thousand horses, and then lend you my Fengzi Battalion as well, how can you be dissatisfied, I will lend you Commander Yuan too." ” Niu Qianzhu smiled embarrassedly: "Commander Yuan will only steal the limelight, there are two thousand horsemen and the prince's phoenix battalion, it is enough, enough." ” I couldn't hide from the first day of junior high school, but I couldn't dodge fifteen, and Captain Niu kicked Yuan Zuozong, who was standing not far away.
Pang Jianrui, a short and sturdy lieutenant, asked: "Lord Wang, the Qingzhou cavalry has been completely lost in the battle of Zhao Xun's original gallop to aid Zhao Ying, the king of Huainan, and now the infantry military committee of about 8,000 people is really not worth mentioning. ” Niu Qianzhu said in a hurry: "Lao Pang, the prince has promised to lend me all your 1,000 people."
Pang Jianrui turned his head and glared fiercely, causing Niu Qianzhu to shrink his neck in fright.
Niu Qianzhu's body shape looks like there are two Pang Jianrui, but in the Daxue Dragoon Army, he is also the captain who commands Qiancai, and Niu Qianzhu has always been like a little daughter-in-law meeting a wicked mother-in-law in front of Pang Jianrui.
At this moment, Yuan Zuozong suddenly said loudly: "I am a pioneer, and five hundred horsemen are enough." ” Pang Jianrui scratched his head, and gave him ten dares not to compete with the commander.
What's more, as long as it is the old man of the Daxue Dragoon Army, he knows that the ten-year offensive and defensive battle of Xiangfan City in Qingzhou, Yuan Zuozong as the commander of the second generation of cavalry after Wu Qi Xu Pu of the Xu Family Army, when he was under Xiangfan City, the war was so hard and fierce that the cavalry under his command had to be used as foot soldiers, and the ants were attached to the siege of the city, and in the end there were no three out of ten, which was the feat of Chu Lushan Thousand Cavalry Kaishu, not that the Xu family iron cavalry did not want to draw out more cavalry, but there was really no horse available, whether it was a cavalry or a war horse.
Xu Fengnian nodded, and then raised his cool knife in the two battlefields of Guangling Road, where the two armies were deadlocked, and pointed out one after another, "After crossing the soldiers and horses under Xu Gong's command, the Western Chu cavalry we want to meet will break out of the formation here, located thirty miles south of Guazizhou, the general of the Wu Department in charge of this battlefield is called Zhou Ran, with a total strength of 20,000, which should not be underestimated, Zhou Ran is old and heavy, good at positional warfare, and has never been greedy for merit, and there are two thousand cavalry troops under his command.
At that time, our main force will be about twenty miles northwest of Guazizhou, here, in the area of the Xiangwei River, for a short period of halt and garrison.
Zhou Ran will inevitably send a large number of scouts to keep an eye on the movements of our army, not only that, because of our arrival, Wu Chongxuan will inevitably order the northern Laixian front to be moderately inclined to the south, although the main general Yuan Jiade has less than 10,000 troops, but the cavalry army accounts for almost half, more than 4,500 cavalry, this department was the vanguard of the southern Xinjiang army to the north to quell the chaos, and the combat power is obviously not weak.
Yuan Zuozong, you lead the main force to Guazizhou along the Xiangwei River to push thirty miles east, straight to Zhou Ran's station, Wang Boyuan, you will lead two thousand cavalry to go straight between Laixian and Xiangwei River, cut off the southward reinforcement road of Yuan Jiade's main cavalry, cooperate with the main force, and put on a posture that we want to swallow Zhou Ran's 20,000 horses first in one go, Song Jinshan, you lead a thousand cavalry to keep a distance of three or four miles from the right flank of the Chinese army and slow down, the main responsibility is to keep an eye on Zhou Ran's two thousand cavalry, and clean up Zhou Ran's scout detectives in the south, Once the whereabouts of the Fengzi battalion going south to meet the horse team are revealed, or if there are Wu soldiers and horses chasing after the front line, if Zhou Ran's 2,000 horsemen get the news and go south to intercept and kill, you must bite them, and you must win the space for the Fengzi battalion to receive those hundreds of people completely."
Yuan Zuozong and the two cavalry generals all held their fists and received their orders.
Suddenly, a crossbowman came to report the military situation, and then Xu Fengnian and the generals were a little crying and laughing.
Intercepted the military order passed to Qingzhou by the scouts under Xu Gong, and ordered him to return to Huangqi City, a large town on the northern border of Jing'an Road, according to the original route, and not to go north out of the city without authorization.
Xu Fengnian said helplessly: "If there is no accident, Xishu is almost the same."
It seems that Xu Gong is not happy to give us a chance to bluff. ” Xu Fengnian didn't think it was done because he intercepted a secret letter, this kind of military order that was not afraid of leaking secrets at all, naturally he would not just send a single horse to pass it, and it would not be too much to say that the more the merrier.
But Xu Fengnian quickly sneered: "It's not easy to say that Xishu is there, maybe they will retreat at the order, and then there will be a tacit understanding to withdraw and wait for the opportunity to move, but the dignified King Jing'an should be more effective than what a squire said, and the Qingzhou soldiers and horses may not obey Xu Gongman's unreasonable dispatch."
That Zhao Xun used soldiers on the battlefield, regardless of victory or defeat, he only showed loyalty.
The commander of this army is the confidant of the Jing'an Palace, and he must have received Zhao Xun's secret order before sending the army, which is nothing more than the suspicion of being greedy for merit and rash and the whole army is annihilated, and it is absolutely impossible to leave the impression that the court is greedy for life and afraid of death.

This young King Jing'an is worthy of being the most praised virtuous vassal king by the government and the public. ” Niu Qianzhu and other generals were a little at a loss, after all, the situation in the Central Plains was really too lazy to care about or disdain for this Beiliang Xiaoxiao general who had been fighting outside the customs for a long time.
Only Yuan Zuozong nodded and sneered: "It is very likely that the Qingzhou Army insists on going north, and the nickname of Zhao Xun to die in the future is worthy of its name." ” Song Jinshan, a veteran who had experienced the Battle of Xiangfan City like the commander Yuan Zuozong, sighed and said with emotion: "I heard that the current Qingzhou Naval Division is very disagreeable, but judging from the short-lived appearance of the Qingzhou Cavalry on the Guangling Battlefield last year, regardless of the level of combat effectiveness, only the degree of its bravery, quite similar to that year, I think we no matter how much we hated Qingzhou for that Xiangfan City, but for the Qingzhou soldiers, we still have to stretch out our thumbs, such an opponent deserves admiration."
As a result, there is such a loser vassal king, it's a pity, it's a pity. ” There was a moment of silence in the tent, and Xu Fengnian suddenly quipped: "General Song, you don't have insinuations, right?"
Song Jinshan tilted his head coldly and spat on the ground.
This bold move of the following crimes frightened Niu Qianzhu, Pang Jianrui and others into fear.
Soon Song Jinshan said with a bright smile: "Zhao Xun's little bastard, he is not worthy of lifting shoes for the prince."
Xu Fengnian patted the old general's shoulder heavily, "It is worthy of being an old pawn brought out by Xu Xiao, there is nothing to say about fighting, and you have to get it if you pat yourself on the back."
Song Jinshan's old face smiled exaggeratedly, and he didn't forget to raise his eyebrows at Niu Qianzhu's young juniors, the old man looked a little lacking in virtue, obviously saying to the younger cavalry captain, Lao Tzu, this is the real sycophant, you are still too tender Xu Yanbing lifted the curtain of the camp tent, and Xu Fengnian nodded at him.
Xu Fengnian let all the generals in the tent disperse, and then stood side by side with Xu Yanbing outside the tent.
Xu Fengnian frowned, feeling an ominous premonition.
There are guests coming from afar.
Coming very fast from a great distance
