Xu Fengnian pushed the teapot and bowls away, put his fingers together on the table to draw a trajectory, and said slowly: "Before the Spring and Autumn Period, since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, every time the northern nomadic peoples launched a plunder and invasion, or the turmoil and uneasy inside the Central Plains, the Central Plains men and women moved south to avoid disasters and migrations. In history, several large-scale crossings of the royal family members were from north to south, and only south moved south and then south, and never crossed the Guangling River north, among which the late Yongxi period was

The most typical examples of "Liu Shi Xing Shu" and the "Ganlu Ferry in the South" after the destruction of Dafeng. It can be said that "Chu Jiang" among the nine kingdoms in the Spring and Autumn Period was able to become the one who held the bull. The orthodox identity of the Central Plains brought to them by Ganlu Ferry in the South was of great significance. As we all know, Hong Jiafeng, who was completely different from the past, has two routes, one of which was the migration to Tai'ancheng, the capital of Liyang. Later, the Song, the Great Wei and the Later Sui Dynasty were mostly residents, mixed with a small number of residents of Western Chu and Southern Tang."

Xu Fengnian drew a slightly curved trajectory on the table, "After this, about half a year apart, an unprecedented escape involving more gentry began. The Western Chu, which was the hardest, the Southern Tang, which loved the most, and the Western Shu, which had the most complex of homeland, almost all appeared in this torrent. More than a dozen people from all sizes were aborted, and finally formed a convergence in the current Liangyou River three prefectures, and entered the two prefectures of Beimanggu, which created the current grand occasion of the Northern Mang Southern Dynasties."

Yan Wenluan nodded and said, "After Chu Lushan's thousand cavalry opened Shu, we used infantry to defeat the army of Western Shu. Gu Jiantang was lucky. As the pillar of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Gu Dazu was too lucky. He almost took down the Southern Tang Dynasty without bloodshed. The monarch of the Eight Kingdoms hung up, self-immolation, and self-immolation, and imprisoned. So the old emperor Liyang said, "I can finally use the Zhao family peace fire to repay the world." But what does this have to do with those four people? It is rumored that Mr. Li and Nalan Youci had traveled together in the spring and autumn. Even if it was true, they would never work together, let alone the half-tone Yuan Benxi who had been killed many times but had not been killed."

Yan Wenluan sneered and said, "Prince, although I, Yan Wenluan, are a reckless man, I finally know some things outside of war. If you say that these four people are sitting on a table like us at this time and planning Hong Jiabei, I will really laugh out loud. I don't need a draft cowhide, and I'm not bragging like that."

Xu Fengnian looked as usual and shook his head, "Seeking ten thousand steps back, four people with their own camps and plans should really gather to plan. How could the Beimang Taiping Order, who had been traveling in the Central Plains for more than 20 years, not notice the clues?"

Yan Wenluan couldn't help but smile and said, "Then you guys, what are you talking about?"

Xu Fengnian looked at the old general calmly, who did not stare back for the first time, but just smiled awkwardly and waved his hand, "So, I won't talk nonsense."

Xu Fengnian continued: "Huang Sanjia, who disrupted the Spring and Autumn Period with his three-inch tongue, actually did nothing in this change that had not been seen in a thousand years. The reason why he was pulled in was that without him, there would be no situation of Li Yang's unification, and there would be no Hong Jiabei. If you want to talk about the Spring and Autumn Period, Huang Longshi will definitely not be able to avoid it, and the same is true for future history books. Huang Sanjia used his mouth to join the Zong Lianheng, and my father used the iron cavalry and Xu sword to make the land of Shenzhou. So there was a new problem in front of some people. Although the Central Plains was in trouble, there was a neighbor who was eyeing him in the north. This evil neighbor from the north who would come to the south to grab the east from time to time was more vulgar and barbaric than Li Yang, who had no education in the eyes of the scholars of Western Chu. Since Li Yang could conquer the Central Plains, is it possible that Beimang, who is more polite and powerful, would even annex Li Yang?"

Yan Wenluan was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He was just a military man who led troops to fight, and he had never considered this problem. When the general was there, almost all the people in Beiliang, including Yan Wenluan, had a strong and conceitable self-confidence. That is, the 300,000 border troops in Beiliang were there, and the Beimang barbarians would not think about going south to the Central Plains. What reason would this be needed? No. After the general passed away, the millions of Beibarbarians soon hit the border and knocked on the gate, and Yan Wenluan could not think deeply about anything. As for the old things like Hong Jiabei running for the country, who would care?

Xu Fengnian paused for a long time, as if he was brewing words. When Yan Wenluan looked over, he said, "My master never wanted to mention Nalan Youci, who is also a strategist, but he was an old acquaintance with this person, which is true. This plan was not what Master told me during his lifetime, but I found it from clues. Chen Xiliang looked at the notes and notes on the top floor of Listening Chao Pavilion. At the end of last year, he handed it to Qingliang Mountain, which confirmed my guess.

I can conclude that it must have been the master who thought of setting this "big situation" at the beginning. At the end of the battle of the Western Barrier Wall, and conquering Western Chu would be like cleaning up the mess Huang Sanjia had knocked out with a hammer and a hammer. I guess on his way with Xu Xiao to return to the capital, he might have met Nalan Youci, who was following King Yan Chi Zhao Bing at that time. It might have not met at all, but he had a very hidden book.

Letters come and go. Later, the old general should have known more or less about what was placed on the table. Xu Xiao, who had lost his troops and generals in Western Chu, had just become the King of Northern Liang in the temple, so he spoke to slaughter the Guangling River before the northwest of the vassal state, so that the body of the scholar of Western Chu blocked the entrance of the river. Not long after, Zhao Bing also became the most extensive king of Yan, and soon the remnants of the Southern Tang Dynasty raised troops to kill three thousand left-behind soldiers in Li Yang

In the Tianma, the bad news was spread to the capital in an urgent manner for 800 miles. At that time, Zhao Bing must have been very poor in the eyes of the world, because according to military merits, it was not as good as Zhao Yi's share. As a result, Nanjiang gave him such a powerful force, which was tantamount to the fire. Zhao Bing, the most bloodthirsty among the vassal kings, must have been furious. Unofficial history says, 'Zhao Bing cut off a Qin cypress with a knife and vowed to kill the young and strong Southern Tang'."

Yan Wenluan nodded, "This is indeed true. The general was still talking to us as a joke."

The old man suddenly exclaimed, "But if I remember correctly, the old emperor rewarded the meritorious officials at that time. On the most important position of the king, the general squeezed Gu Jiantang out of his kingdom and became the King of Northern Liang. No one dared to say anything more. Gu Jiantang could only be the Minister of War who stayed in Beijing, and had to tinker with the dilapidated Gu Lu under the eyes of the emperors of the two dynasties. How did you say that?"

Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "Talk to masturbate?"

Yan Wenluan smiled and nodded, "Yes."

Then Yan Wenluan turned to the main topic and said, "But the court initially intended that Zhao Bing be the King of Huainan. Not to mention the emperor's distant southern border, even the King of Jing'an could not be the King of Huainan. He could only be the King of Huainan and helped Liyang Zhaoshi keep a close eye on the general. Zhao Bing was definitely not happy, so he asked to go to the two Liaos to be the King of Jiaodong. The general later told us in person that Zhao Bing had a private chat with the old emperor, saying that he was not willing to eat dust behind the general's butt and wanted to go to the two Liaos to fight the barbarians of Beimang. He said that even if Zhao Bing was about to die, he would die on the horse's back. But the result was surprising. Zhao Bing became the King of Yan. Although he was not as good as Zhao Dun's younger brother Zhao Yi, he was still much more comfortable than that King of Huainan who had been frustrated for most of his life."

Yan Wenluan patted her knees heavily and said in a deep voice: "This makes sense. If you want to drive away the survivors of the Spring and Autumn Period and force them to cross the Guangling River north, you will not force the three kingdoms of Shu, Chu and Tang, who should have been the least willing to leave their hometown, to be completely desperate. Especially those aristocratic families who "a hundred-year country, a thousand-year family" will not be willing to be a loser after the country is destroyed. The prince, here is the fourth counselor of Yuan Benxi, who later became the Liyang Emperor's teacher. He made efforts and tampered with it? Why, Mr. Li and this person were really involved in unknown connection back then?"

Xu Fengnian shook his head and said, "No. Yuan Benxi is just planning for the Zhao family."

Yan Wenluan invisibly became a primary school child who asked the teacher for teaching and asked curiously: "Prince, what do you mean?"

But Xu Fengnian was distracted.

Yan Wenluan was a little helpless, and the old man didn't have the shame to ask again. Besides, if you don't say anything, I, Yan Wenluan, can't think about it yourself? Then the old man thought carefully for a moment and suddenly said loudly: "After driving so many roads, I just drank tea and fading out of the birds, it's not strong enough! Prince, come some wine?"

Xu Fengnian smiled and got up to get the wine. After he returned to the study with two pots of green ant wine, Yan Wenluan couldn't wait to open a pot and drank three times in succession before he stopped. He wiped his mouth hard and said with a smile: "The prince said that Yuan Benxi was planning for the Emperor of the Zhao family. Did he say that Yuan Benxi was not at all worried about the borer-heavy lords that were deeply rooted in the territory of the Eight Kingdoms. Since he didn't like them, he was afraid that they would cause trouble and delay Zhao Dun's battle against Beimang after he ascended the throne, and was worried that these remaining residents would stab the knife in the back, so why just drive them out? This is the same as the Li Yang literati must be an official. "

Yan Wenluan, who had finally thought of this step, quickly became suspicious of herself and had to ask again: "But Yuan Benxi was willing to let so many so-called geniuses run to Beimang in one breath?"

Speaking of this, Yan Wenluan suddenly woke up and her eyes suddenly became cold, and her tone became a little lighter. She stared at Xu Fengnian. "Since the first year of Yonghui, Li Yang issued a heavy rule, ten kilograms of iron and one craftsman. Once it flowed into Beimang, local officials would move three thousand miles. Jizhou, Hezhou, and the two Liaos on the Eastern Front. Over the years, many people on the border have taken risks and become rich, and they have rarely been investigated afterwards. But in our Beiliang, in the past twenty years, under the advice of Mr. Li, more than ten were killed by the miscellaneous general and the real power captain."

Yan Wenluan held the big white bowl filled with hot tea and strong wine on the edge of the table, narrowed her eyes, and said sinisterly: "Since the prince talked to me today about Hong Jia's north flock, it naturally has a deep meaning. I also beaten to death and didn't believe that Mr. Li and Nalan Youci were thinking of greatly increasing the strength of Beimang, so that Beimang would have an extra Southern Dynasty for no reason, and those nearly one million Spring and Autumn remnants who talked about the truth of the Central Plains every day. But if the prince could not give me an explanation today, then the general would have to ask the prince for an explanation for the fallen soldiers in the two cities of Gong Luanhe, as well as all the Beiliang border troops who died in battle next time!"

Xu Fengnian was not in a hurry to defend anything, but dipped his fingers in wine, bent down and clicked on the north and south ends of the table, "To do this, we must first create a situation of closing the door and beating dogs. Zhao Bing, who threatened to kill all the young and strong men in Southern Tang, was doing the dirty job of buying the bottom. In fact, he did kill tens of thousands of surrendered soldiers in Southern Tang as soon as he arrived in southern Xinjiang. Among these people, there were only a few thousand people who were really rebellious. Most of the others were unjustly killed. Some people did the bottom-line life, and some had to close the door. Xu Xiao did this, but he led his troops to Liang and walked surprisingly slowly. At that time, he felt that Yuanbenxi, which was placed by my master and Nalan Youci, had a move to make up for the loss of sheep. Yuanbenxi was like you. I hope that those clan forces would "tree to death" and not affect his top priority in assisting Zhao Dun in the fight against Beimang, but Yuanbenxi also did not want Hong Jiabei in the second half of the year.

He would actually run directly to his mortal enemy Beimang in one breath. His original intention was to let Xu Xiao's army rush over and block the northwest gate before this, so that the group of cattle and sheep would be slaughtered back to the capital area and stay with the torrent of Hong Jia running north. So this led to the situation where the court ordered Gu Jiantang's confidant general Cai Nan to travel west in a hurry. However, at that time, Xu Xiao and the Han family in Jizhou did not stop him because of their own reasons.

It caused Cai Nan, who had few cavalry troops in his hands at that time, failed to succeed. After that, Li Yang did not dare to deal with Xu Xiao. You, the Han family, could not deal with it? So the court quickly executed the entire Han family. He escaped a fish that escaped the net, and now he became a loyal and wise man again, it was just an imperial edict. Zhang Julu was in charge of this matter, and really wanted to kill the Han family, but to say that he was influenced by his mentor and killed people due to personal grudges, he would be too underestimated."

After Xu Fengnian mentioned the wine pot, he never drank. "The reason why Yuan Benxi did not get entangled in this matter was very simple because after several major battles, Li Yang lost consecutive battles, and the elite Zhao family's foundation suffered heavy losses. Then he suddenly found that Beimang was busy digesting the Southern Dynasty, thinking that he would earn a few years later, which allowed the Li Yang court, who was in charge of Zhao Dun, to breathe and work hard little by little. In addition, Yuan Benxi did not feel that in the future, Li Yang would lose to Bei Mang, and Hong Jiabei Ben gradually became a bad debt that no one cares about. The Li Yang court did not dare to speak out, because this was Zhao Dun, who was known for his enlightenment and generosity, the only rebellious scale that could not be touched."

Yan Wenluan, who was almost about to fall down, frowned and asked, "What is the implication is that those who traveled north to the north have dragged down Beimang?"

Yan Wenluan shook his head quickly and said, "No! Although the remnants of the Spring and Autumn Period did weaken the martial spirit of Beimang to a certain extent, for the old woman, accepting these people far outweighs the disadvantages. Now they attacked Youzhou Hulukou and Liangzhou Hutou City, which proved this point. Their siege method was no different from that of the Central Plains. For example, the pioneer general Zhongtan beat Wagong City and Luanhe City even had the leisure to train troops. They beat Wagong City and only fought one side. On the surface, it seemed that they were playing house with children, but soon he started to try to surround the three ques and ones. After breaking the city, he was so cruel to the enemy that he deliberately fought the street battles entering the city. Now that the battle against the sunlight, the Beimang infantry is becoming more and more skilled, and the number of casualties on local battlefields has dropped sharply. The battle against Beiliang is already like this. In the future, if Beimang really has the opportunity to attack those cities in the Central Plains, besides Western Shu and the two Liaos, who can defend it?! The army of King Zhao Bing of Yan Zhiwang? If the Beibarbarians all attacked the southern border, is it meaningful? Even if the battlefield is not mentioned, the Taiping Order is even ready to capture Beiliang, and after it is fastest, it will fill a large number of civil servants who are skilled in politics and affairs, so as to stabilize the defense and make the Beimang cavalry go south without worries. This is twenty years ago, even if Beimang dares to think about it, he will never do it!"

Xu Fengnian asked with a smile: "Her old general, have you ever thought about why Xu Xiao and Li Yishan didn't object to me at all to Beimang at that time, but instead supported me."

Yan Wenluan's face was still gloomy, but she lost the murderous intention that she had no concealment before, and she shook her head gently.

Xu Fengnian looked at the sky that began to become brighter outside the window, slowly put down the wine pot, and whispered: "Old General, wait patiently. I went to Beimang alone back then, just to convey a message to some people. It's very risky, right? But if I didn't take this risk, how could others be willing to take greater risks? As for who else in Beimang will not forget the original intention of the year, I don't know, but there must be a lot of people. I don't know, and the old woman in Beimang and Taiping Ling can't guess."

Yan Wenluan is as stupid as a wooden chicken.

Xu Fengnian stood up and looked down at the desktop where some wine stains had long disappeared. "Maybe you would ask those scholars who can be reliable?"

Xu Fengnian laughed at herself, "I just think that whoever dared to nod a few years ago was a joke. But the scholars in the world, just the spring and autumn we have experienced, have Wang Mingyang, who has been guarding Xiangfan City for ten years, and Zhang Julu, who has sought death."

Yan Wenluan spit out a breath of turbid air and said bitterly: "There is also a Wei Jingtang in Jizhou. In fact, there were many such seeds of study who were willing to die in the Spring and Autumn Period. Of course, I, Yan Wenluan, also killed a lot of them with my own hands."

Xu Fengnian walked to the window, "Huang Sanjia once said that in this world, there must be more and more people who can read books and know words. The general trend is also unstoppable. People's hearts are not as good as the world's trend. However, if you read books and know words, you can become the 'scholar' in Huang Sanjia's mouth."

Xu Fengnian stretched out his palm and slowly clenched his fists, "The more you know, the more you hold, the less awe will be. This is a natural thing for you. The prince, who did not practice swords and martial arts again a few years ago, dared not be disrespectful to the heavens and man?"

"The mind is distracted, the mind is distracted... Taoism has a warning that "the mind is unstable, and the mind is galloping four times", and Buddhism also has the saying that "controls the mind and subdues ape and a horse". However, how to do it is too general and misty. Reading and literacy has always been a luxury for ordinary people, and they cannot be done. Confucianism is very simple and clear. One word, etiquette. Etiquette is not only a framework, but actually a cage. The people don't understand it, it doesn't matter. We set very detailed rules, and you can follow it. I think Confucianism can stand out among the hundreds of schools of thought and eventually surpass other families. This is one of the important reasons.

Of course, individuals like to be free and free is nature. Under such almost irreconcilable conflicts and contradictions, Confucianism has a huge difference with the Mohist school, which is evil in human nature. Confucian sages proposed that human nature is good in human nature, and later generations have been subtly influenced by various means. For example, after a child holds up a book, they have to memorize it by rote, otherwise they will be beaten by the 'three hundred and thousands'. After all, this is the merit of education. What is interesting is that Taoist sages came out to interrupt again, saying that they should 'severe the sage and abandon wisdom, and the people will benefit a hundred times; they should abandon benevolence and righteousness, and the people will return to filial piety and kindness'. Who is right and who is wrong? Maybe there is nothing right and wrong."

"Huang Sanjia destroyed the Spring and Autumn Period. What he did was just to give the world a chance to choose called 'freedom' earlier. And Zhang Julu, a scholar who had been a squeezing craftsman in Liyang for twenty years, used his own death to repair a framework for the future generations that he "carriedly" on the Zhao family to fuel the fire. Maybe he was futile and meaningless, but since he could think of it, then do it. This is Zhang Julu. I, Xu Fengnian, can't do it, you Yan Wenluan, can't do it, those famous ministers in Yonghui Spring can't do it, and even Tantanweng and Qi Yanglong can't do it. In fact, no one can do it except him, the blue-eyed man."

"Maybe there is no way to "harm" the world's Huang Sanjia, who has no words to say to us: I know that I am guilty of me, but only the Spring and Autumn Period."

"The former chief assistant Zhang Julu, who did not have a suicide note and a last word, should have left a sentence to all descendants who regard him as a fool: If you are not a fish, how can you know the joy of fish?"

Yan Wenluan was standing next to Xu Fengnian with a wine pot. This was the first time he had listened to Xu Fengnian's long-term discussion. This young man was murdering people in Lingzhou and Youzhou at that time, but he didn't talk like this.

But Yan Wenluan was not tired of it at all.

Yan Wenluan took one hand and poured the wine into her mouth with the other hand. After drinking it all, she shook the wine pot, still feeling unsatisfied, and asked, "What about Mr. Li?"

When Yan Wenluan turned his head, he saw the young man smiling and pointed to the north. Xu Fengnian had the kind of romantic style that Yan Wenluan was destined to be a big and rough warrior.

"Don't people in the world say that my master is cruel and ruthless and likes to make plans? Hong Jiabei Ben was the one who lost the seeds of studying in the Central Plains. Then when he arrived in Beiliang, the more than 100,000 refugees were just a small trial. Next, it was probably Beimang."

After sighing, Yan Wenluan quickly smiled and said with a hearty smile: "Prince, my heart is gone. It's funny. At the beginning, I came to Yanzhi County to flatter you with shamelessness. You and Yu Luan's sword fight beautifully! The establishment of the camp has greatly boosted the morale of the entire Youzhou! Unexpectedly, it changed its flavor later. I was just a little bit short of being overturned and hit someone. Of course, the end of the end must be that I was beaten up by you to look for old teeth. Although the prince did not make it clear, I, Yan Wenluan, believe in the general and Mr. Li. After deciding on this matter, I also understand why Mr. Li was not optimistic about Chen Zhibao from the beginning. With this Hong Jiabei Bifeng, Beiliang gave him. After fighting Beimang, there will be a sure thing in the world in the future. "

Xu Fengnian didn't say anything and looked a little tired.

Yan Wenluan hesitated for a moment, but said, "Prince, there is something I don't say is in my stomach. It's uncomfortable! Although Chen Zhibao has left Beiliang, I, Yan Wenluan, can guarantee that he has been in Beiliang for so many years and has never had any rebelliousness. He will definitely be dissatisfied with you, but he definitely has no such malice in killing people. I believe he is just waiting. If the general leaves, Xu Fengnian can't support Beiliang, he will come out and let Beiliang's surname Chen. As for what the whole world should be surnamed Murong, Zhao, or Chen, it depends on his ability to Chen Zhibao."

Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "I know."

Yan Wenluan asked in a low voice: "Take it serious?"

Xu Fengnian turned around, "Then I don't know?"

Yan Wenluan laughed, "It seems that he really knows that Yan Wenluan judges a gentleman with the heart of a villain."

Xu Fengnian laughed, "Don't you scold me?"

Yan Wenluan was stunned at first, and after thinking for a while, the smile in her single-eyed eyes became even stronger, but she deliberately said helplessly: "Scholars are just powerful, and they can't accept it."

Finally, the commander of the Beiliang infantry army who had arrived in turmoil suddenly clasped his fists, "Prince, you're leaving! It's the same thing we said when we met in Youzhou at that time. If we had the chance, even if I, Yan Wenluan, was lying in the coffin, I would have to carry it to the Beimang Prince's Court."

Before Xu Fengnian could say anything, the old man turned around and walked away. When he passed by the table, he stopped, shouted and took it, picked up the wine pot and threw it to Xu Fengnian, "Just treat the last general and invited the prince to drink."

Xu Fengnian raised his hand to take the wine pot, looked at the back that had crossed the threshold, looked surprised, and said to himself: "There are guests who treats the owner's wine?"

Yan Wenluan strode in the corridor. At that time, the old man who wanted to continue to say "Believe in the General, believe in Mr. Li" after "Believe in you Xu Fengnian", still resisted and said to himself, "General, it will be fun to fight like this. Just like following the General back then, I am afraid of nothing, just fear of not dying!"

———

Xu Fengnian, who had not drunk alcohol from beginning to end, sat back on his seat with a serious expression.

The gentle fourth prince Zhao Zhuan was really not a good deal after becoming the emperor. If Zhang Julu's death was instructed by his father Zhao Dun, then Yuan Benxi's silent death was completely his cold-blooded skill. However, Xu Fengnian was not surprised by this. The Zhao family served three emperors in succession, and who was not an expert in cooking by a cunning rabbit and a lackey? This Emperor Li Yang, who had just sat on the dragon throne, secretly opened the gateway to Jibei. He was not full and wanted to give two Beimang.

After the ten thousand men gave him military achievements, he changed his successors to Liyang and Beiliang. Xu Fengnian resisted the imperial edict and took the lead in showing the bottom line of Beiliang. After he ascended the throne, Zhao Zhuan quickly retaliated with the incident of 10,000 cavalry breaking into Jizhou in Youzhou and told him that Xu Fengnian's bottom line of the court in Liyang is not low. Yuan Tingshan's general contribution after "losing" Yinyao City did not disappoint Zhao Zhuan, who was as concerned about Jizhou's military affairs as his son Zhao Dun. Xu Fengnian had just received spies.

Yuan Fenggou transformed into the guy who became General Yuan. In addition to the Jizhou cavalry, he also brought more than 7,000 private cavalry handed over to him by the head of the Yanbao family, one of the two father-in-laws. He waited for the rabbit and fought over the eight thousand cavalry of the Beimang Nabo, Wei and Wang Jingchong, and handed them to Tai'ancheng. The good news said, "Our side has lost only 3,000 yuan, and defeated the enemy and beheaded more than 10,000 yuan." Xu Fengnian naturally knew that the more than 2,000 old cavalry accumulated by the Li family in Yanbao for several generations must be no more than 3,000 yuan.

However, after this battle, Zhao Zhuanhui, who had the edge of his new ascension, must have been very happy when he ascended the throne. For Guangling Road, the Ministry of War would be happy. The two Liao people on the eastern front would be encouraged. The court and the country, especially the Shilin, would have greatly improved Yuan Fenggou, who had originally had a bad impression of this bad person. In fact, if it weren't for Xu Fengnian as the biggest target in the world, even if Yuan Tingshan made several times more military achievements, he would have only caused sarcasm and suspicion.

Xu Fengnian sneered: "Compared with my admittedly good fortune, the Prince of Beiliang today, your life in Yuan Tingshan is not bad."

What really made Xu Fengnian a headache was not Yuan Tingshan and Jizhou, but two things. In fact, Zhao Zhuan did a lot after the beginning of spring, such as the relocation of the Hanlin Academy, and the reorganization of the world's version proposed by a small official of the Ministry of Revenue, and putting the "small dynasty" of his central officials. Compared with the former, the wind and horses of Beiliang, the latter was a knife to Beiliang. Beiliang's people were temporarily stable. The people who should have gone and who could have gone had left the Beiliang Road in Lingzhou, which had not had much impact. If the version was changed at this time, it would be equivalent to opening a big hole. Even if the military households in Beiliang were big, they involved the personal relationship between the people at the bottom and could leave the right and wrong place. Who would have been willing to stay in Beiliang and wait for death?

Xu Fengnian closed his eyes, "Yuan Guo, the Minister of Revenue, who is the best at speaking in this matter, keeps silent and does not speak, that is already a very clear statement. Unfortunately, he finally made a comeback and has only been a 'district official sage for a few days, and he may be thrown into the cold palace again. The Secretariat Order Qi Yanglong supported him, the Menxia Provincial Tantanweng opposed him, and the Tianguan Yin Maochun supported him, but said that this matter should be slow or not, and the hasty will not be achieved. Tsk tsk, this wording is really particular, 'not easy to be impatient', easy but not suitable, it is really exquisite. Zhao Youling, the second-in-commander of the Secretariat, indeed sang an opposition to Yin Maochun. He is worthy of being a loser in the same year of the imperial examination, becoming an ally, promising, and political enemies."

If this is not an imminent matter, then there is a "small matter" hidden among major events, which is a real surprise and urgent need in the entire Beiliangdao.

The unexpected joy was another hidden work by Zhang Julu after his disciple Wei Jingtang. If it weren't for the fraud case that was deliberately downplayed by the court in Liyang, Xu Fengnian could not guess Zhang Julu's intentions. It turned out that over the years, Zhang Julu and Tantanweng have been staring at the grain transport, especially the grain entering Liang. It seems that they are making things difficult for all kinds of difficulties, but they secretly "privately" stockpile grains in secret. Those granaries in the gray area are all along the Guangling River coast further northwest of Xiangfan City. Xu Fengnian dared to assert that Zhang Julu was waiting, waiting for Beiliang to fight to the end. If Beiliang really is willing to fight to the end, then these grains that originally belonged to Beiliang will be sent to Beiliang smoothly. If Beiliang hides its strength, Xu Xiao and Xu Fengnian

If you want to retain your strength to seize the grain, you won’t even think about getting these food and grass. Zhang Julu once decided to reform the grain transportation. The officials and Guangling floods were affected by the floods, but they ended in vain. It may not be that this "selfish thought" must be made. Governing the country is so difficult and complicated. The hidden grain is just about involving a series of tedious appointments by the grain officials, and it also involves the royal relatives and the "founding" meritorious achievements of the country who are lying on the lifeblood of this country. Zhang Julu must not only make the blood flow in the world without hindrance, but also ensure that after the death of Beimang in Beiliang, the court or his chief assistant Zhang Julu can also show sincerity, and also maintain a balance between the emperor and the powerful.

Now Zhao Zhuan personally made this unexpected joy an urgent matter. The officials of grain arranged by Zhang Julu were taken down in one fell swoop. The officials were not of high quality. The dignitaries and nobles didn't care about these officials who were not important and were not lacking in their own disciples. Maybe without these guys, they would make greater profits in the future. His Majesty the Emperor's iron fist and determination to govern corruption have won praise from the court. After this turmoil, who dares to challenge the court? It will only be more difficult for Beiliang to ask for food in the future than before.

Xu Fengnian bent his fingers and knocked on the table one by one.

With less than 2 million households in North Liang Road, less than 10 million people had to support a total of 300,000 border troops. If there was not a Lingzhou, known as the Little Guangling in the Northwest, it would have been hard to support the string of Beiliang that had been stretched for more than 20 years, let alone archery, it would have been broken by itself. Why could Li Gongde become the leader of the civil servants? He could only praise Xu Xiao for his merits, but he had a skill? Of course, it was not, without it. Li Gongde had a good fortune. He could buy grain through various shameful channels, and the price was not high. He accepted a box of big men who bribed silver. Of course, it was those royal relatives and meritorious families in Li Yang who lost a lot of money. They only made less than one million taels of "small money" a year. Their ancestors and parents made great contributions to the unification of the Spring and Autumn Period of Li Yang and made some money. What guilt do they feel?

These people should not be brave enough to get into trouble in the short term.

Li Gongde, who was still in charge of the position of command, ran to Qingliang Mountain and had already vomited bitter water with the deputy envoy Song Dongming. Lord Li, who had been taking good care of himself, would soon have grayish white hair and frost and snow.

Under such severe circumstances, Xu Beizhi, the governor who was almost crazy in Lingzhou last year, quickly built and filled most of the granaries in his hands. At that time, he was ridiculed as the "granary governor" who only knew how to buy rice, and became a life-saving straw for the entire Beiliang border army. If it were not for Xu Beizhi, Xu Fengnian would have attached importance to granary storage, but it would never be possible to achieve the point of Xu Beizhi's drastic power to store grain. Xu Beizhi's command in Lingzhou was doing everything he could to buy grain. Not only did he buy grain from outside Beiliang based on the connection channels accumulated by Li Gongde for many years, he also bought rice from the local Haoheng and the gentry families in Lingzhou at a tough price. If the people with surplus grain wanted to sell it to earn the difference, Xu Beizhi would not be left and he would receive it all!

So if it weren't for Xu Beizhi's granaries, Xu Feng would openly go to the homes of distant neighbors of Beiliang Road to "grab grain" with their distant neighbors, instead of being kind enough to bring troops out to the country to "borrow grain", at least he would give some real money and silver. However, this is not a long-term solution after all, and it won't take long, and it won't take long, the entire upper reaches of the Guangling River would be equivalent to a solid wall and clearing the countryside of Beiliang Road.

Xu Fengnian opened his eyes and murmured: "At first, you, Chen Xiliang, failed to get salt and iron grain and was demoted to the refugee place. Xu Beizhi first became the governor of a state, and then you made contributions to defending the city in Liuzhou, which successfully gave Beiliang more than 100,000 young and strong soldiers. Next, Xu Beizhi became the governor of the granary, and soon Xu Beizhi proved that he was right. Everyone else who watched the show in Beiliang was wrong. I firmly believe that you will definitely make people in the world look at each other with admiration, and it has been like this from the beginning."

Xu Fengnian looked around and stood up to get the two chess jars specially prepared by the spy in Fushuifang. The red date wood was not rare, but the textures of the two boxes showed the magical "Goddess Flowers" and "Boys bowing". This turned the two red date wood boxes, which originally cost a few taels of silver, into the imperial treasures of the Western Chu court, which were priceless. After the Western Chu country was destroyed, it flowed into the people and then wandered in the cold land on the way to Hong Jiabei, and did not follow the owner to enter Beimang. Xu Fengnian opened the two chess jars. The white chess was the 180 famous "snow seals" of all colors. The chess pieces were as meticulous as the chess jars, and there were more than twenty chess pieces, while the black chess was the dark green fish brain frozen with clear luster.

Xu Fengnian sat upright, picked up a black and white chess piece and hit it on the table without a chess board. Then, as if he was about to start playing chess with someone, he placed the white chess jar opposite him and said softly: "Master, neither Xu Beizhi nor Chen Xiliang have disappointed you."
