The Snowy Path of the Heroic Blade Chapter 182: The battle of two countries, the battle of two people (Part 1)

The chanting of the six-character mantra on the top of the mountain turning cylinder is already powerful, but it is a pity that ordinary people can't see the greater atmosphere of the flow of air. After being shocked by the sound of Xiaolanda Mountain, the pedestrians near the restaurant also made some ridiculous laughter. In their vision, there was an old monk sitting on the roof and a young man with one-handed beggars standing on the roof. For half an hour after standing and sitting, more and more visitors from the outer city gathered under the restaurant after hearing the news.

Soon there will be a team of fine riders in the inner city escorting the big guys galloping, the pawns with swords and bows and spears, and the mounts are purebred Western horses that are far more powerful than reckless horses in terms of impact. The horse squad smashed through the crowded crowd. Many innocent spectators who had no time to dodge were killed by the horses on the spot. It was not that the people from the outer city who were in the hands of their bodies saw their friends being killed. The front riding pawns knocked them off their horses, and they were quickly slammed into the body by the rear cavalry with the huge inertia of the war horses. Stretching out a pleasing arc-moon curve, the corpse was immediately knocked out two or three feet away, but the hardwood made of the spear shaft is not the kind of first-class good wood that is priceless, and the hardness and toughness are still not enough to support. This level of impact was also destroyed. The rider seemed to be still inexplicable. He abandoned his spear and changed his knife. He bent slightly, not slashing, but a seemingly inattentive horizontal knife. The city man rode away without exerting any force, just relying on the horse to charge, the tip of the knife easily pulled out an inch-long deep hole on the man's neck.

From this detail, it can be seen that these knights of the Western Regions, who are nourished by the wealthy and wealthy of the inner city, are all very familiar veterans in battle. The cavalry battle on the battlefield is never a one-off deal, and they want to live. Finally, you have to know how to use the least energy to get the most damage. There is no shortage of good horses in the Western Regions, but artisan ironware is rare. Moreover, the hardwood for making good spears is difficult to obtain under the strict constraints of the Northern Liang Border Army and the Liyang court. This largely limits the battle of the Western Regions. Although the power is the second best option, except for the strong and strong, they can be equipped with fine iron spears. Most of the others are throwing spears. Even if they can be used as spears, they are enough to deal with the people of the rivers and lakes. Once they are matched with the regular cavalry in the true sense , Surely out of reach. As early as 20 years ago, there was a **** lesson. At the end of the spring and autumn, this city once had a cavalry with a number of 5,000 people. It was invincible in the Western Regions. An overlord of the king, he deliberately annexed the three towns of Linyao as a support for food and grass, and then pointed to the cool land, and then occupied the high ground of the world. The five thousand horses killed in the Western Regions were almost annihilated, and there were not enough days to escape from more than a hundred horses, and the casualties were less than five hundred. Those fledglings had lingering fears and nagging for many years, and they all said that the Xu family cavalry was a real damn. The cavalry, those two thousand horses are actually men’s vests, let alone people, even war horses can have visors, and the cavalry’s iron guns are enough to support multiple charges and their own ash wood poles. The so-called iron spear made is too soft in comparison.

So in the past two decades, after the few rich and nowhere to spend surnames in this city had cavalry, they only dared to close their doors and make a small mess, and absolutely did not dare to trouble the North Liang frontier army. . It's not that there are no heroes who have eaten the bear heart and leopard courage. After forming a small Wu rider in the northern Liang border army and entering the land of the refugees to perform martial arts exercises in order to advance the white horse warrior, some people took 800 fine rides to the present day. Liuzhou fished in troubled waters. At first, he relied on the advantage of numbers to besieged and killed thirty or forty Beiliang barbarians, but soon he was tragically retaliated against. Hu Kui, the torch commander in chief of the torch as the governor of Lingzhou, was soon met. He and Hutou City deputy general Liu Jinu, the two of them each led a thousand Qingqi, and drove into Liuzhou. After beheading the eight hundred horses of the Western Regions, they all picked their heads and hung their heads on the spearhead, rushing all the way to this distance. In this city thousands of miles away in Liangzhou, the reason why many people in the city didn’t know about this tragedy was that the guy who was good at advocating to go to Liuzhou for provocations, there were more than 40 clansmen and more than 900 followers in the city. I joined forces to level down the rest of the inner city forces overnight, and then took my head out of the city for thirty miles to plead with the North Liang border army. I thought that this kind of behavior was sincere enough and enough to calm people down. Unexpectedly, that hand created the Beiliang white horse. During the confrontation between the two sides, especially when Liu Jinu had almost agreed to lead his army back to Beiliang, the crossbowman Hu Kui unscrupulously launched an unscrupulous charge, killing a few Patriarchs just to get the courage to go. The city’s three thousand horsemen turned their backs on their horses. If it hadn’t been for Liu Jinu to rush into the battle and intercept the Hu Kui who was on the verge of killing off, I’m afraid that the forces in the city would now have a different pattern.

Xu Fengnian ignored the spectators on the street. After carrying the corpse of the monk with chicken soup, he begged with one hand and flew towards the small land in the center of the inner city. Then he buried the old monk near the hut at the foot of the mountain and buried the Buddha. The bowl is placed on the grave.

Xu Fengnian began to wait for someone to come.

Toba Bodhisattva.

————

In the second year of Xiangfu, on the tail of the spring where the sun is getting warmer and people are thinking about spring sleep, the capital suddenly held two unruly Saji Grand Ceremony and Taimiao Memorial Ceremony within one day without warning. This made the Ministry of Rites, the Superintendent of Li, the Superintendent of Duzhi, and the superintendent of the superintendent who depended on their duties, and the superintendent of the palace in charge of Taimiao affairs, all in a mess, and everyone was exhausted. Anyone who cares found that besides the heavy face of Zhong Shu Ling Qi Yanglong, there were also many strange boys wearing Qin Tianjian clothes. Their faces were even more gloomy. After the two major ceremonies, near dusk, the emperor still did not let go of the exhausted central minister. He moved the Xiaochaohui to the Military Aircraft Department of the Ministry of War. The senior officials of the two provinces under Zhongshumen and all the six Zipao Gongqing were not alive. fall.

When the emperor and Qiyang, Longhuan and Wen, two elderly people entered the hall hand in hand, a huge sand table covering the lower reaches of the Guangling River was placed on the main table. In addition, there were more than a dozen warships. Without waiting for the crowd to bow, the young emperor waved his hand to avoid the ceremony, and walked straight to the molds. Lu Baijie, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, gave Gao Tingshu, the chief officer of Wu Xuanqing official secretary, a wink. Later, the famous Bangyan Lang hurriedly moistened his throat and took two steps forward to introduce the emperor to the comparison of the strengths of the two Guangling naval forces. There are three types of boats: yellow dragon, phoenix wings, and swaying boats, 35. The medium-sized warships include seven types including stern, stern, and first boarding. There are more than 140 ships in total. There are two kinds, about 400 ships. The West Chu navy has more than 56,000 people, and the number of warships is about 700, but there are only 18 large-scale ships, and medium-sized battleships such as Hutuotutu have only 70. More than two hundred rough-and-improved fishing boats are mixed in it, and the military strength is not dominant. Moreover, the 40,000 Qingzhou Navy was personally led by King Jing’an and began to descend along the river. The Navy Pioneer has successfully controlled and constrained. The Baotaji area where the Guangling River and Bailu Lake intersect will soon be able to double the Xichu navy..."

The emperor Zhao Zhuan was silent. He was not an emperor who was slack in governance. He was very familiar with the war on Guangling Road. The only thing that really made him difficult to choose now was to let the first and the last two navy "buy the opportunity". , First help the one hundred thousand tigers and wolves of southern Xinjiang to cross the Guangling River, or seize the opportunity of the Xichu Navy to take the initiative to fight with the Guangling Navy, so that the Qingzhou Navy can quickly enter the blank area at the west end of Bailu Lake so that it can be in the east of Bailu Lake. Fought a more secure flanking battle, so as not to fall into the situation of being defeated by the Xichu navy. Of course, as long as southern Xinjiang soldiers and horses successfully crossed the Guangling River, Song Li, who had just entered Beijing not long ago, had already lost most of Xie Xiwei's troops, then on the land of the Western Chu territory, one hundred thousand southern Xinjiang elite soldiers will surely be as powerful as possible, even There is hope to surround the capital of West Chu in one breath. However, the war against the rebellion in Guangling was not a pure battle on the battlefield from the beginning. Once the 100,000 troops of southern Xinjiang were besieged the capital of Xichu without hurting a single soldier, then the victory and defeat on Bailu Lake would change. It has become the icing on the cake. If it is said that Nanjiang just grabbed the power of destroying the country in front of the imperial court, it would be fine, and the worst result would be far beyond the imperial court’s ability to bear it. The division lost to the Western Chu navy, which Cao Changqing himself was in. In case Zhao Bing, who was also the king of the frontier feudal lords and Xu Xiao at the time, had an unruly intention and gave birth to infidelity under the general situation, then the Nanzheng coach Lu Shengxiang would have no more than tens of thousands. Can the people and horses hold back the wolves in the southern frontier that have been fighting for a long time? The more terrifying situation is that southern Xinjiang and Xichu are connected to each other and go north together. Then Liyang can only let Gu Jiantang divide the two Liao frontier armies and quickly go south to defend Tai'an City. Bei Mang was not able to play smoothly on the two lines of Beiliang Youliang. , And there are nearly 200,000 permanent troops outside the two-Liaoning defense line. Is it true that Zhao Zhuan should stand on the head of Tai'an City and see the barbarians of Beimang and the barbarians of southern Xinjiang at the same time? However, all these deductions are based on the premise of the worst war situation, so Zhao Zhuan felt a little regretful in his heart. At that time, he heard the opinions of Zhongshu Ling Qi Yanglong and War Department Shangshu Lu Baijie that he refused to send troops to Xishu. Isn’t it wrong? NS? After all, there are only 10,000 Shu soldiers. Even if Chen Zhibao is personally leading the army, how much military exploits can he take away on Guangling Road? Ten thousand people can besiege the capital of Xichu? Although he did not agree with the king of Shu going out of Shu, it was the original intention of the young emperor, but when the battle was a little muddy, it was inevitable to hide some good anger. Zhao Zhuan, the emperor with a smooth wind, lacked tempering in making decisions, after all, it was better. The Emperor Xian couldn't be compared with his grandfather who had personally fought on horseback for most of his life.

At this time, when Zhao Zhuan called the Tangxi sword fairy Lu Baijie, who was very unhappy with the envoy, he naturally felt more and more an eyesore. If it were not for the two servants of the Ministry of War, Xu Gong and Tang Tieshuang were new faces in Tai'an City, and Song Li’s The qualifications are too shallow. Those veterans of the Spring and Autumn Period who died in battle and died in battle, really couldn't find a suitable candidate to replace Lu Baijie for the time being, the emperor had long let Lu Baijie leave the Ministry of War. Yuan Guo was already ready to rush to the domain to serve as the newly-added Jiedu deputy envoy of the imperial court. Lu Baijie should have been in this rank, but the two chief officials, Qi Yanglong and Tan Tanwong, both showed improper intentions for this matter. This was delayed.

Zhao Zhuan has also had his own calculations since he became the throne. In his opinion, the first emperor should not release Chen Zhibao back to the mountain according to Yuan Benxi and Zhang Julu's intentions. Instead, he should be nailed to the seat of Shangshu of the Ministry of War. Just give him a military exploit in the final battle in Guangling, retreating 10,000 steps and saying that the same is tens of thousands of troops. The court does not believe that Lu Shengxiang can counter the southern Xinjiang army. I am afraid that no one doubts that Chen Zhibao can easily block it, or even Said that as long as Chen Zhibao stayed in the capital and served as a book of the Ministry of War, Nanjiang would definitely not be rebellious. It's not that Zhao Zhuan didn't understand the original intention of the first emperor to put Chen Zhibao in Xishu, but Zhao Zhuan was not the first emperor who blindly praised and trusted the son of Xu Xiao. He had a deep suspicion about this white soldier saint born, and let's say Zhao Zhuan. The new emperor had to admit that there was an incense relationship between the first emperor and Chen Zhibao. It is known to the whole world that the emperor did not have a good impression of Beiliang as a whole. He only favored Chen Zhibao. He almost got the young man before the crown. The king of the different surname was later made him replace Gu Jiantang as the Shangshu of the Ministry of War. In the end, more than ten years later, Chen Zhibao was still the king of Shu. After Xu Xiao died, he became the only king of the different surname, but Zhao Zhuan did not have this. The relationship between monarchs and ministers, the only ones with this kind of relationship with him are Chen Wang, Tang Tieshuang and Song Lizhi, who are still a little short of the top civil servants and generals.

His Majesty the Emperor has been silent for a long time, and it can only be silence.

Gao Ting Shu babbled thousands of words and spoke dryly. It really emptied the vertical and horizontal strategies that had been written in the belly early, and did not dare to exaggerate any digressions in front of the central government, and looked carefully at his eyes. After Lu Baijie, who is the backbone of the Ministry of War, received a positive response from his eyes, Gao Tingshu shut up and didn't want to superfluous. The emperor finally broke the silence, and he also encouraged and rewarded this upstart with a lot of stories in the capital. It can be said that Jane is in the heart of the emperor, and the whole house of ministers smiled and looked at this beautiful style with the nickname "Tai'an Yushu". The young man, only Jin Lanting, the minister of the courtesy department, had a vague and complicated look in his eyes. The emperor then left Zhaojia Weng and went to the new site of the Hanlin Academy where the two offices under Zhongshumen were neighbors. Today there is a tea party at the Hanlin Academy. The emperor saw Chen Wang, Sun Yin, Yan Chiji, and Fan Chang as expected. Later, there were six people, Li Jifu and Song Keli. Of course, there were more than these six people in the compound. There were dozens of people from the Hanlin Academy and Huangmenlang, but no matter how they gathered together, they still couldn't be seen by the emperor at a glance. At this time, the madman Sun Yin was discussing the game with Fan Shiduan and Fan Changhou. Chen Wang and the number one scholar Li Jifu stood side by side, whispering, while his uncle Yan Chiji was making a comeback with Dongshan. Song Keli, the young Feng of the Song family, stood on the other side together. The emperor walked over and took a look, and saw that Sun Yin and Fan Changhou had a few rare orphan books on their hands near the chess pot. Sun Yin had a slightly higher hand with four books, while Fan Changhou had only two books. The chess wins. After seeing His Majesty the emperor coming, let alone the rest of the horror Huang Menlang in the courtyard, these six people looked roughly the same, and among them, there were some slight differences. The new little yellow doorman who raised his arms and groaned slowly, but slowly put down the chess pieces between his fingers to show respect. Both Yan Chiji and Song Keli gave way, especially Yan Chiji, who is most qualified to be improper, his expression on his face. It turned out to be the most serious and solemn, and his expression looked more "forced" than Song Keli, and Chen Wang stepped forward, and after two steps, he found that Li Jifu had not moved, and quietly stretched out his hand to grab the sleeve of the champion. Li Jifu was in his heart. Grateful for a glance, the two came to the emperor, Chen Wang smiled and explained the color to the emperor, "I said it a few days ago, brother Yuetian let Sun Yin and the two sons, and then together with them, a total of six people. They will use the Gufangzhai books bought for three months of salary to bet."

Speaking of this, Chen Wang smiled even more, "This idea was proposed by Sun Yin, and it was clearly intended to cheat me. Who doesn't know that my salary is the most among the six."

Then Chen Wang moved slightly to make Li Jifu more visible in front of the emperor. He joked: "Li Jifu always sends his salary back to his hometown, and he has some extra money on hand, so this time I will pay for the book. -When making a note, he counted him as the most unprofitable. He was nervous for a long time. For fear that the new year would not pass easily, he owed someone a debt. Your Majesty, the minister dare to have an unsympathetic request. If Li Jifu and I lose, we must Don’t you just let your Majesty make up for us? Your Majesty’s great cause, Weichen and Li Jifu are far behind."

The emperor laughed and said: "What's so difficult, but then, my family business is big, your father-in-law Chen Shaobao's family business is small? Which day of the Cheshire King hasn't made money in the past six months, has caused me I want to go to the autumn wind. So I helped Li Jifu to pay off the debt. I can help you, don’t think about it."

Li Jifu was sandwiched between this pair of monarchs and the ministers. Suddenly, there were mixed feelings. He admired the emperor’s unique trust in Chen Shaobao, otherwise he would not speak directly to the Cheshire King’s lavish wealth, but Li Jifu’s heart was even greater. Most of them were grateful for Chen Wang's secret support. The emperor asked about the bet situation, took off a jade pendant from his waist, took out the Gufangzhai rare book that Li Jifu had bet on by Sun Yin, and handed it back to the champion Lang. After Li Jifu took the book, his eyes were red for no reason, and he held the book in both hands. , Hurriedly lowered his head, eyes moist. The emperor patted the young official of the Tai'an Eight Horses who had the best ranking in the imperial examination but had the lowest prestige, and comforted him: "Isn't this yet to lose?"

However, Chen Wang, Li Jifu, Yan Chiji and Song Keli lost in the final victory on the chessboard.

In addition to taking back their own books, Sun Yin, who lost chess, and Fan Changhou, who won chess, divided the three books of the first four people and the priceless piece of jade. Sun Yin took the lead in taking two rare books, Fan In the long run, he had to take an original copy and the jade pendant. Seeing this scene, the emperor was dumbfounded: "Yuetian bet you win, what a Sun Yin, so you bet you lose chess?"

Sun Yin smiled calmly: "Playing chess and betting are two different things."

The emperor looked at Fan Chang, the number one master of chess in the dynasty, and said helplessly: "Fan Shidan, dignified, would you like to talk to this kind of rogue?"

Fan Changhou stood up and smiled: "Your Majesty, let the two sons, in fact, the strength of the two sides is equal. The next win or loss depends on God's will."

The emperor joked: "The world said that when Fan Yuetian played chess, it was as if there were heaven and humans behind him. So, in the future, you will bet with Sun Yin and let the son go. You must bring me with you. I will use Liuguan. A certain collection of books in the bookstore-note."

The dusk was approaching. At the emperor’s personal instruction, the **** brought many altars of tribute wine from the palace, but the emperor called on Chen Wang and Sun Yin as well as his brother-in-law, Yan Chiji, and the four walked out together. A lively and noisy yard.

The emperor turned his head and asked Sun Yin, who had lost the chess but won the prize, and asked casually: "Just listen to the post, why did you let the screwdriver?"

Sun Yin replied: "No matter how many posts I post, I can't beat Fan Changhou. The outcome is too wide, so there is no bet."

The emperor nodded and said: "After reaching a certain level, if you want to go further, it is as difficult as reaching the sky. It can be said that the previous life is fixed, and it cannot be increased or decreased by human resources." /

Chen Wang whispered: "This is just like the battle of Guangling Road. If the remnants of the Western Chu Dynasty were not allowed to place two sons and three sons on the chessboard first, no one would personally fight or bet by others."

The emperor sighed, and said helplessly: "The reason why you have pulled the two of you is because Chen Wang has always been optimistic about the war on Guangling Road, while Sun Yin is the opposite. Today I want to hear what you are saying. Let’s talk about the two of you, no matter how shocking your words are, I will calm down and think carefully. Those quarrels in the hall will inevitably be mixed with all kinds of related interests, and you are different."

Sun Yin glanced at Chen Wang, who gently stretched out his hand, motioning Sun Yin to speak first.

Sun Yin was also unceremonious, and said with a sense of courage: "Your Majesty is worried that the southern Xinjiang army will become a big tail after crossing the river to encircle the capital of Western Chu. Even if it is not rebellious, it is enough to sit down and raise the price , Opened up with the imperial lion, and even became the second Northern Liang border army? And the same pattern and different situation, the Northern Liang Xu Xiao did not rule the river for whatever reason, but the Yanchi king Zhao Bing was in the south. After working hard for more than ten years, Jiang will make a different choice, God knows. Your Majesty does not want to give the initiative to others, to the illusory heart and providence, right?"

The emperor hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes!"

Sun Yin laughed, "There are three failures. First of all, your Majesty needs to be publicly dissatisfied with the faintness of the Ministry of War, and the thunder is furious, so that the current Minister of the Ministry of War, Lu Baijie, will leave Beijing and serve as the Jiedu Envoy of Southern Xinjiang or Guangling. In short, you must be able to see Wu Chongxuan, deputy commander-in-chief of the 100,000 army in southern Xinjiang, moved with affection, understood reason, and promised profit. There are two things of reason. I don’t need my Sun Yin to say anything. I want to cultivate like a sword fairy in Tangxi. Competent. With the word "Li", your majesty will cut the flesh. The pain is not comparable to a piece of jade pendant on the waist."

The emperor frowned and said: "A party of Jijishi, is that enough?"

Sun Yin laughed boldly.

The emperor whispered: "Promise that Wu Chongxuan will enter Beijing in the future as a book of the Ministry of War?"

Sun Yin sneered.

The emperor asked: "Does my Liyang have another king with a different surname?"

Sun Yin asked, "Why not? How can the future kings of different surnames be compared with the King of Shu? How can the imperial court be inconsistent? Wu Chongxuan is already in his sixties, and his three sons are ineffective. How many years have you been a feudal lord?"

The emperor nodded, but said nothing.

Sun Yin went on to say: "Secondly, after Lu Baijie resigned as the Minister of War, he allowed King Shu to take 10,000 elite soldiers out of the country, and ordered to lead the Ministry of War, and rush to Guangling Road to fight the rebellion, and Chen Zhibao can be in the line of soldiers. In addition to the horse, the Qingzhou Navy under the command of Jing'an King Zhaoxun was divided into half to him. Chen Zhibao, as a person, cannot be in power, and at the same time must be in power. If the military power is too heavy, it is difficult to suppress ambitions, and he has no military power in his hands. Resentment and rebellion. The best force for Chen Zhibao is between 30,000 and 40,000, and must not exceed 50,000. The court is not allowed to go out of Shu, so he really thinks that Chen Zhibao can only train 10,000 soldiers? Emperor Xian and Li Yang sent this person to Xishu, and they have already made meritorious service. The one million army of Beimang has pressed down the western line of Beiliang, so it is time to bring Chen Zhibao back to the capital."

The emperor hummed this time.

Sun Yin took a deep breath, "Finally, let Beiliang let go of his hands and feet, and fight to the end with Beimang. The imperial court not only has to let go of Guangling water transport, but also suspend the change of registration, and let Gu Jiantang and Jizhou on the eastern front line at the same time. Send troops to exert pressure, compress all the border fronts in Beimang, and drive away wolves! In this way, the war on Guangling Road is a trivial matter of winning or losing. In the end, Liyang will be able to clean up the mess. By then, Beimang will only be able to clean up the mess. With the remaining half of the national power, the Western Chu is even more dilapidated. At the end of the battle, Cao Changqing just wanted to die."

The young emperor was silent and looked at Chen Wang, who smiled bitterly: "Weichen has nothing to say."

Sun Yin waited for the following, did not wait for the answer he wanted, he hehe smiled and said: "Thanks to his great drunkenness, I went back for a drink. If he falls drunk in the Imperial Academy, please trouble Chen Shaobao to drag it back."

The emperor looked at this madman's back and whispered softly: "Chen Wang, Chi Ji, I will take you to a place and meet someone."

This time, the emperor didn't even accompany his guards, but Song Tanglu carefully led the way and turned around to a secluded courtyard on the edge of the palace.

After pushing open the courtyard door, Chen Wang and Yan Chiji saw a pair of strange men and women sitting on two wicker chairs in the lights. The man looked blind and the woman was reading a book to him.

According to Chen Wang and Yan Chiji's closeness with Dang today's son~IndoMTL.com~, they were still left at the gate of the courtyard with Song Tanglu. The emperor walked in alone and had a short question and answer with the blind young man.

When the emperor got up and walked back to the courtyard gate, he no longer saw the previous heavyness, and his face became a little more relaxed and relaxed.

Chen Wang smiled and said: "Congratulations to your majesty for having one more country seeker."

The emperor said with a smile: "Chen Shaobao is no worse than him. He is just two different people. Sun Yin is not a born person, but a wild fox Zen. The scholar named Lu in the courtyard is a real outsider, a wild fox spirit. But. To truly govern the country and the world, you still rely on Chen Wang."

In the courtyard, the blind Lu Xu was lying on a wicker chair.

The dead woman of Jing'an Palace, whose real name is Liu Lingbao, has been kneeling in front of the emperor for a short time, and her face is even more bewildered when she gets up.

Lu Xu asked softly: "Is it strange why I put Beiliang to death."

The woman who had been displaced with Mr. Lu all the way smiled relievedly: "Mr. has his own reason."

Lu Xu "opened his eyes" as if he wanted to see with his own eyes this world where everyone is not free.
