Chapter 56: Qiu Chou is even more murderous
Yu Dilong was born in Beiliang. Even though he had never heard of any rumors in the world, no matter how ignorant he was, he had heard people mention that there were many gods and real people living on Wudang Mountain, all of whom were fairy-like and could call the wind and rain. So this time he followed his master to climb the mountain, and he was particularly pious. Every time he met a Taoist priest on the mountain, no matter how old or young, he had to stop walking. This made those Wudang Taoists who recognized Xu Fengnian's identity very frightened. Xu Fengnian did not stop the child's solemnity. This innocent heart may be the cornerstone of Yu Dilong's bravery and diligence in martial arts in the future. A newborn calf was not afraid of any tiger. If he could survive once, he would never have lived a tiger's mouth for the rest of his life. Xu Fengnian
While climbing the mountain, he whispered to Yu Dilong: "If a person walks in the world, he can be fearless, there are two types: one is to be ignorant of the depth of the world, be arrogant, or have some background and support, and have some support, and underestimate others. There are many such people, and many people die. The other is that no matter whether you understand or give advice from your predecessors, you already know the dangers of the world, but you have a stubbornness and a clear conscience. There are relatively few people like this, but you may not die less. Jianghu is such a place. If you don't recognize you as a good person or a bad person, you have bad water and bad luck. As long as you touch the same, you will easily drown. In just a few years, most of the masters who died at the hands of your master are the latter."
"Your junior sister Wang Sheng learned swords, and she will never change her life. Since ancient times, there have been disputes between intention and art. The one that is most thorough and clear is that the person once practiced Taoism on this mountain. The reason why Wang Sheng did not come to practice swords on the mountain was because she was afraid that she would not be able to see the appearance of the mountain clearly under the lamp and was in the mountain. So she simply let her go away to see the scenery. After all, she had a very high momentum. If she blindly pulled out seedlings to help grow, she might be the embroidered pillow like the leader of Chuntie Caotang in the future."
"Your junior brother Lu Yun is very sharp, but he is also very resentful. He just relies on going to the border to join the army and kill people. He is skillful in swords, but his sword will only become inferior as he kills, and his martial arts path becomes narrower and narrower. In the end, he is bound to himself. Even if he has Gu Jiantang's talent, he will definitely not be able to practice the first-class swordsmanship without Gu Jiantang's vision. This is why he went to the Yulong Gang to practice and temper his skills for a few years. All kinds of things in the world are just a mirror. If you look at one person with your heart, you will wipe the mirror more often. You should be self-righteous, and your heart is not his heart. You can use a wise person first, and you should use a wise knife. A knife is a single blade, which focuses more on killing intention than a sword. It is very hard and easy to break. If you don't understand anything, you will die sooner or later on your own sword."
"As for you, you are still young, you might as well learn from the guy named Hong Xixiang on the mountain. Don't worry, and there is no need to force yourself to go any step. I am only three of you disciples. Lu Yunchang is rushing to do things that can show off. It's not your turn to be your senior brother for the time being. He is happy to take your burden over and carry it. Except for the prince who is destined to be on the dragon throne in the future, no one in the world must have a promising future. On the premise of being able to protect yourself, you can live your life anyway, just be happy. Among the three, Wang Sheng is a little different. Because she practices swords, I made my master's note out of self-interest, which puts on her master's note and puts a heavy burden on her. I also want to explain this to you, and you should not feel resentful to Wang Sheng for this."
Yu Dilong, who followed Xu Fengnian on the steps, quickly waved his hand and said, "Master, my disciple doesn't know how to do it. I wish my junior sister could practice the most powerful swordsmanship. It's not that important than me."
Xu Fengnian stopped and looked back at Yu Dilong. The child was stared at and blushed slightly. Xu Fengnian joked and said, "You have a good vision. If you don't say anything else, this has been deeply mastered by Master."
The child's body was so early and perfect that he could throw out his master Xu Fengnian, who was 18,000 miles away. At this time, his ignorant thoughts were revealed, scratching his head and pretending to be stupid. Xu Fengnian looked into the distance and whispered: "If you three have great prospects in the future, remember two points. There should be a sword battle between Wang Sheng and Lu Yunchang. You don't have to stop them from competing at that time, but I hope you don't kill Lu Yunchang in anger. Also, don't just learn from Master's eroticism, but not Master's rudeness. Smart people are in love. Once unfortunately, they will be worse than death. No matter how big or small you are, no one is free and comfortable. Look at Cao Changqing and Xuanyuan Jingcheng, and then look at Deng Tai Ah who is careless..."
Xu Fengnian stopped talking halfway through his speech. Yu Dilong heard halfway through his hearing, but he waited for a long time without waiting for the following text. He looked up at the master who claimed to be indifferent. After Xu Fengnian slowly came back to his senses, he rubbed Yu Dilong's head and asked with a smile: "Do you think it's your master's wife?"
Yu Dilong was stunned for a moment and quickly said firmly: "Pei Nanwei!"
Xu Fengnian tapped the child's forehead with a slight finger, "It's good to help his parents or not, but those who accomplish great things are more of a righteous and peaceful temperament. Master has suffered a lot in the past, so you should take it as a warning."
Yu Dilong sighed, his whole face wrinkled together, and complained: "Master, you have said so many great principles today, I can't eat it all at once."
Xu Fengnian smiled and said that eating is a blessing, but he did not talk to his disciples anymore. The two of them silently climbed the stairs together. At the secret instruction of Qingliang Mountain, the local government donated several huge sums of silver to Wudang Mountain, and also sent a lot of manpower to help build a series of magnificent or exquisite buildings on the mountain, such as Xuanwu Palace, Star Gazing Pavilion and Dharma Talisman Bureau. In addition, academy was built on a beautiful place to practice mountains and rivers on the mountainside. Taoist immortal music was misty.
It is intertwined with the sound of books, complementing each other. Some dilapidated and old buildings that Wudang Mountain were originally unable to repair were also completely renewed. The incense on the mountain was becoming more and more prosperous. With the unconcealed support of the King of New Liang, the pilgrims have a naked eye. It is impossible to see whether the fairy spirit of Wudang Mountain has risen or not, but there are too many human flavors and fireworks than before. Every day on the first and fifteenth day of the day, there are many tourists, and the incense is so prosperous that it can almost compete with Longhu Mountain.
After Xu Fengnian met Chen Yao, the old real man in charge of the precepts, he lived next to the Xixiang Pond where he was practicing swords. He did not deliberately restrain the leeway dragon and let his children wander around the mountain. Most of the time, Xu Fengnian sat quietly on the huge rocks in the pond, and finally stopped the sign of the collapse of the qi in his body. The "water surface of the pond" slowly rose. During this period, there were constant post cavalry sending the relatively important red copy of Wutongyuan to the mountain. Xu Fengnian's spare time in his stable body, he would give every official document.
Looking carefully, in addition to post cavalry conveying important government affairs, the secrets of border military aircraft were handed over to the experienced spies from Fushuifang to Wudang Mountain from the border. The spies were mixed with some new masters from the world, and they were all screened by Chu Lushan, the spy leader. It was unrealistic to ask these people to go to the battlefield to fight to the death. However, if you want to do some relaxed and leisurely tasks, you will still be flocking to them. Choose the people from the world as elite postmen. This is the suggestion put forward by Wang Luting, who took over the Jinlu Weaving Bureau from Li Xifeng.
1. In addition, the Jinlu Weaving Bureau, located in Lingzhou, has set up a weaving department in the other three prefectures. It cannot personally participate in local officials, robbing and impeachment, but can help Qingliangshan secretly report and supervise various affairs. At the same time, it was at the suggestion of Wang Luting that there were more than 20 academies in the three prefectures of Lianglingyou. Under the leadership of three literary leaders, three "Kuiwen" with no genres were selected every month. The winners directly obtained the official position in Beiliangdao. There is an interesting thing here, Liangzhou is responsible for the defeat.
The literary master who was responsible for the review of the article was not someone else, but Wang Chudong who wrote "The Snow in the First Field". However, the articles that were actually handed over to Xu Fengnian were more of those "abused articles" with sharp words and criticism of current affairs. Although many of the writings were biased and even ruthless, these scholars quietly named the archives of Wutongyuan. They themselves did not know that many of the resentful works that were thrown into the wastebasket and those wrinkled manuscripts would appear on the desks of Wutongyuan, Qingliangshan, in a few days.
The hut where Xu Fengnian lived temporarily was almost on the lanterns at night.
On a late night of storm and lightning, after reading all the Beiliang spies and Liyang mansions sent, Xu Fengnian picked out three copies and spread them on the table. A copy from Huaiyang Pass, where the border guards are located, was written by Chu Lushan. It is said that the handwriting is like the person, but Chu Lushan's calligraphy is extremely delicate and gentle, and it is simply a woman's handwriting, which is really impossible to associate with his bloated body shape. The secret letter reported the general progress of the refugees in Liuzhou as a military force.
After Beiliang Road relaxed the border ban, a peak of refugees entered the country. The number of people passing through the border reached 4,000 within a month. However, few people chose to enter the Beiliang army, which was almost negligible. It was only when the news came out that Xu Fengnian, the King of Beiliang, had killed Wang Xianzhi, was propelled by the new Liuzhou governor Yang Guangdou, finally ushered in a large crowd. Within a short ten-day period, six thousand people took the initiative to go to the border to join the army.
Although the continuous smoke of gunpowder in the 20 years of Spring and Autumn Period has long proved that the generals of ten thousand enemies who have never lived for a long time, but whether a army has ten thousand enemies is the backbone is completely different. Xu Fengnian, Chu Lushan, Yuan Zuozong and others do not think that the strong refugees can form their own army in Liuzhou, and they do not believe that they can defend the impact of the Beimang cavalry. Tens of thousands of refugees are indeed able to fight. It is just a mature army that can achieve one or two percent of the war and damage the morale of the army. These refugees seem to be huge in number, and they are truly
When fighting, if you encounter a strong enemy, you may even scatter the original formation of Beiliang. Therefore, the best situation is to disperse these refugees and send them to the border army, and then exchange some of the elite troops in Beiliang to Liuzhou to transport them to Liuzhou as the mainstay for Liuzhou to resist the Beimang cavalry's southward in the future. However, this kind of thing is not forced. Although refugees can have no worries about food and clothing after joining the army, they are just a trick to tie their heads to the belt. No one is stupid, and it is better to live without any death.
Xu Fengnian laughed at himself and said, "The title of No. 1 in the world is still very useful."
The secret letter also mentioned various frictions between refugees and old soldiers after joining the army, and some even couldn't bear the humiliation, killed people in anger, and almost caused a mutiny. In the letter, Chu Lushan said that as long as those refugees participated in it, they would be executed.
Xu Fengnian sighed. Although the refugees who survived from the dead were brave and brave, they did not dare to make trouble in the Beiliang army. Naturally, the old soldiers of the border army who looked down on the refugees in their bones had extreme actions. It can be said that the death of these refugees was extremely frustrating and unjust. However, Xu Fengnian did not want to change Chu Lushan's decision. Without rules, it was impossible for the old soldiers to bully the new soldiers in the military camp. This is a bad habit that no general leads the army. The old soldiers at the border bully the new soldiers and punish them. However, the new soldiers who violated the rules and violated the ban and wanted to be killed. If the refugees want to have a chance to stand out, they only have one chance, that is, to fight in the future, win the sincere respect of the old soldiers, and regard them as brotherly robbery. Apart from this, there is no second way to go.
The second one comes from Wutong Courtyard. Li Yang destroyed the Buddha in a large number of places. There were many displaced monks entering the country, as if they were crossing the river. Mud and sand were inevitable. Naturally, no one would be a monk who was determined to be a Buddha without causing dust. The reason for practicing Buddhism was that he had never become a Buddha. Among them, there were many famous monks who were used to being generous and living in luxury. They asked the government for the "tea land grants" that were exempted from taxes, in name, to pray for blessings for Xu Fengnian, the King of Northern Liang. There was a dispute in Wutong Courtyard. The opinion of the head Xu Weixiong was that not only could not open this opening, but also ordered the governments in various places to severely rebuke and expel these monks from the country. Lu Chengyan meant to be open to comfort and secretly, not to agree, and drag it on, so there was no need to tear the face.
Xu Fengnian rubbed his temples and smiled bitterly: "A thunder method and a bodhisattva's heart seem to be right. Just pretend that you didn't see this thing."
The third one is very interesting. It comes from Liyang. There are many storms in the middle. Finally, I can enter Beiliang. In addition to silver, it can also cause great luck. There is a Yanjiao Lake between Guangling Road and Nanjing. It is an artificial lake after Liyang unified the world. It is said to be used to suppress the dragon energy left by the Western Chu. There is an island in the lake. There is a warehouse built on the island. It is surrounded by heavy troops. It is specially used to store yellow books made every five years in the dynasty states, which record the household registration, cultivated land and tax service situations in Liyang. But people do not know that in addition to the yellow books under the head of the Ministry of Revenue in Beijing, there is also a more obscure file. In addition to the chief minister of the current dynasty, not to mention the government offices of various departments, even the two chief officials of the Ministry of Secretariat of the Secretariat could not be mentioned, that is, the army of various places
The book of the book. This is because when the late emperor ordered the compilation of the "Shimai" that year, he had to propose the exact number of cultivated land in the world and keep the military secrets. So he took a compromise method and hanged the yellow book of military fields under many ministries and prefectures and counties respectively. Guangling Road was originally the granary of the world and was quite hidden, but the number of fields in the two Liaos was surprisingly large, which was undoubtedly because of the reason for this book. Liu Mao, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, asked for a list from Zhao Siqi, the Gongliang Hou who was in charge of Yanjiao Lake. The royal family impeached a copy as usual. After knowing it, Liu Mao, who later realized it, apologized for guilt, but still failed to keep the official hat of the right assistant minister. He was exiled to the wild land of Yanchidao, a wilderness that was full of miasma, and eventually died of old age.
This time, the revival of Western Chu Kingdom was affected, and Yanjiao Lake began to move northward on a large scale. There were many original books in the middle book, but many copies of the program were released for no reason. Most of them flowed into Guangling Road, and a small number of them were scattered among the people. The Beiliang spies placed in the territory bought and snatched from a group of people in the world, and got a pill.
The number in the yellow book is dead, but those who are interested can see many living things.
Xu Fengnian and Fushuifang were asking for a large stack of spies about Guangling Daojun Town over the years. Xu Fengnian originally knew that the Zhao family appointed Sun Xiji, the old teacher of Xichu, as a strategic envoy. He seemed to let the tiger return to the mountain, but in fact he invited you to the urn to catch the big and small turtles in the urn. But looking at the carefully pondered the truth, Xu Fengnian could be sure that the garrison commanders who spoke to the soldiers who shouted that the court was short of wages were all right, saying that the court was too partial to the defense line of the two Liaos, but in fact they were just filling their own pockets. Under the leadership of Zhang Julu and Wang Xionggui, the Minister of Revenue, who was very good at "turning stones into gold", the court did not treat the garrison in the territory at all. It was not surprising that the local garrison was yelling hard and the children could have milk. But in Xu Fengnian
It seems that Guangling Road's appearance of the men is really shocking. But this is also Zhang Julu's own consequences. It was him who created the situation of "southern people go north to become ministers, while northern people go south to become generals". Although this move separated the two wealthy groups of Jiangnan and northern regions from their respective localities, after the northern generals arrived at Guangling Road, they had neighbors and families close to the Zhao family's Longxing land as their backers. These warriors who believed they were the warriors who had built their own fathers, and their eating habits could be better? Guangling Road was also a fertile land that the imperial court took the lead in exploiting, so they would be afraid of it at all? Over the past ten years, almost every real power position, ranging from two to four, and everyone took turns to take turns to plunder. Who cares about the livelihood and public opinion in the country?
Xu Feng said in a young voice: "Too much is as bad as too much."
Xu Fengnian stood up and walked to a wall, where a geographical situation map covering the old Chu border and the entire southern part of the capital was hung on it.
If the name is not upright, the words will not go well, and if the words are not upright, the things will not go well.
Now both Liyang and Western Chu are justified. The former holds the country and wants to calm the rebellion. The latter has taken the banner of orthodox Central Plains. This is not two hundred years after the destruction of the country, but only twenty years later. Western Chu destroyed the country. Even the historians believed that "the fault is not the emperor, ministers, and people." The destruction of Western Chu was even regarded as "the sinking of the land in China" by countless scholars.
Xu Fengnian looked at the map, which was different from the general rough territory map. The mountains, rivers, geography and pass military towns were very detailed. As long as it was possible to become a place for military use, there was no omission. The number of armor and households in various places were clearly marked and there were often temporary changes.
On this map, there is a very hidden movement and static appearance. What is still there are the soldiers and horses of the Jingnan vassal king, Lu Shengxiang, the minister of the Ministry of War who was temporarily appointed as the general, the 40,000 elite soldiers led by Yang Shenxing, and the 30,000 cavalry leaders led by Yan Zhenchun.
It is said that military orders are difficult to get out of Youlu Pass where Lu Shengxiang is located.
Yang Shenxing was eyeing the soldiers in the Xiyu area, and behind the Spring and Autumn veteran, he was accompanied by a large group of hungry princes and noble families. Xiyu has many mountains, many rivers, many east-west and east-west holes and valleys, neither a place of death in the military or alone, and is connected with each other.
The Eastern Yu Plain where Yan Zhenchun is located has a wide terrain and has no danger to take over, but since ancient times it has been a convenient way to promote the cavalry. If Yan Zhenchun had not had very few contacts with the king and noble family in the capital, more people actually wanted to join the command of the old general Yan so that they could gain military merits earlier and more. Anyway, the remnants of Western Chu could be killed in a blink of an eye. At that time, where would the two-legged infantrymen run fast on horseback?
The three soldiers were temporarily unmoved, but according to the latest intelligence, the combat power of Western Chu has been surging undercurrents. In addition to the quieter south, the troops in the old capital have spread out in all directions, especially the northern line, which is even more uncertain. At a rough look, it looks like a headless fly flying around, full of obvious flaws and loopholes.
Xu Fengnian narrowed his eyes and stared at the map to speculate on Cao Changqing, a Confucian general who had not shone brightly in the Spring and Autumn Period. Although Xu Fengnian's own Northern Liang, although he was just a person who had won the existing country after his father defeated the existing country, he still knew the importance of ambush. The thousands of soldiers lurking in Qingcheng Mountain for many years and the two horse thieves on the border were the same. The cavalry that was placed in the Western Regions to drive north in the future was also required. In a battle, the precise investment of subsequent troops was also required. The reason why the heavy cavalry could make a final decision on the battlefield was
This is it. In recent years, many thieves have been rushing across the border to rebellion. The troops of King Zhao Yi of Guangling were able to maintain relatively high combat effectiveness, and the contributions of these training targets were indispensable. This made Zhao Yi not take King Yanchi Zhao Bing seriously and clamor to challenge the Iron Cavalry of the Northern Liang. Among the several vassal kings who had bound the territory and split the territory, King Zhao Suikong of Jiaodong had the geographical advantage of being in the border, but under the double suppression of the court and Gu Jiantang, he could not confront Beimang head-on, and his combat power had been declining over the years.
Xu Fengnian was looking for the location of Cao Changqing's elite soldiers. He believed that the bosses of the Ministry of War in Tai'an City were also staring at each other.
In those days, the Great Chu who was determined to be the world, in addition to the sea-fixing needle Jiang Baikui, the Saint of War, was more importantly, with countless good generals and the peak of infantry combat power, as well as the huge cavalry fed by countless gold and silver. The light cavalry and heavy cavalry were invincible.
Now, the elliptical soldiers of Western Chu have disappeared, and the new heavy cavalry has not yet surfaced. The troops presented on this map are mainly 20,000 "rebels" responsible for guarding the old capital of Western Chu, and 80,000 people accumulated by various military, towns and passes. The refugee bandits buried everywhere are conservatively estimated to be about 30,000, and their combat power will be far above 80,000, which is comparable to the 20,000 personal troops. However, the foundation supported by the people's expectations and national strength between the two countries is crucial. If you have reputation, you will have a source of troops. The people are willing to fight for it. Only with financial resources can you not lose in terms of configuration. The roughly equivalent two soldiers, the number of weapons and the quality of armor are enough to determine the outcome, unless a general on one side shows a fatal stupid order. But the problem is that almost no one can determine whether there are thousands or tens of thousands of Western Chu survivors who will die for the character Jiang.
Xu Fengnian's vision was further north, where Gu Jiantang's 300,000 border troops and the real elite army of the Liyang Dynasty.
Xu Fengnian slowly withdrew his gaze and turned to the territory connected to Nanzhao, Western Shu.
Two of the people who are the best at using troops in the Liyang Dynasty today, one has nothing to do, dare not go north and cannot go south. The other one is looking for trouble because of the excuse of the Huangmu chaos case, and I heard that they only brought eight hundred soldiers.
Xu Fengnian sat back at the table, closed her eyes and focused.
There is no chart of Liangmang confrontation hanging in the house because it doesn’t need to be seen at all, it’s all engraved in his mind, and it doesn’t need him, the King of Northern Liang, to devote himself to military affairs in border areas. The reason is very simple.
After nearly twenty years of hard work, the defense of the Beiliang border has reached its peak.
If the Northern Mang had only 400,000 troops from the Southern Dynasty went south.
Beiliang will eat it without hesitation.
If Beimang invades the south, the whole country will invade the south.
It's nothing more than a death battle.
Of course, it can also be understood as waiting for death. It sounds nicer, it means that both jade and stones are burned.
Xu Fengnian walked out of the house and came to the side of the Xixiang Pool. The path was paved with pebbles in the pool, which was closely and orderly. After the impact of rain and pool water year after year, the pebbles with few edges became more and more shiny and round. Xu Fengnian took off his boots and held them in his hand, and walked slowly on the gravel road. A cool but not cold comfort penetrated into the soles of his feet.
Xu Fengnian jumped onto the huge bluestone, lay down and looked at the starry sky, and closed his eyes.
I don’t know how many tens of thousands of people are on Guangling Road, but they can’t survive this autumn?
How many people from Beiliang can't survive the next autumn?
Chapter completed!
