The Snowy Path of the Heroic Blade Chapter 170: Bead curtain, iron armor (below)

The elder Huang Chang of Qingludong Academy saw Xu Fengnian off alone. The two of them spoke very little on the way down the mountain. Huang Chang was exhausted because of his imposing vigor. Since the young feudal king was not a student who came to the foot of the Qingludong mountain to be with him. After the fall, Huang Chang will not have a target. He can't still make an inch, and Xu Fengnian needs some more local government officials. Qingliangshan is very convenient for going to Liangshi to serve as important posts in various states, counties and counties. The door, no matter how thick Huang Chang's face was, he couldn't open this opening. The more silent Xu Fengnian became, the more nervous Huang Chang became. As he approached the foot of the mountain, the old man sighed and smiled bitterly: "Master, you always put this knife on the old man's neck, and you don't cut it down sharply or take it away. The old man is frustrated. Or else, give me a pleasant message? If it is not, I will say from the bottom of my heart. I will be the head of the Qinglu Cave. The college is like a cropland. It is hard to have some good seedlings. If you think I can’t take care of it well, then change to an obedient one, and don’t anger those rice seedlings who are just taking the lead."

Xu Fengnian didn't stop, and slowly said: "Sir, you are worrying too much. There is nothing wrong with the academician discussing the military affairs of Beiliang. There are only things in the world that are unidentifiable, and there is no more muddled. "

Huang Chang nodded in relief.

Xu Fengnian continued: "But you, as the seniors of the mountain leader and the mentor of the industry, you must make good use of the situation, and you can't watch it coldly. I don't want you to help the North Liang border army to say good things, because it is meaningless. I hope to be in North Liang. Rooted scholars all understand one thing. The reason they can give pointers to the country is because there are dead people on the frontiers of the border every day. It is the dead and the Beiliang border army who may be about to die, so that Beiliang can not afford a ray of wolf smoke. No matter whether they win or lose on the battlefield, they are not at all wrong. Of course, it is not a problem to scold me and Qingliang Mountain or Beiliang Duhufu for improper scheduling and planning, but if they are watching the fire from the other side and gloating The original intention, such a scholar, Beiliang has always respected Xie Xie Bumin, where he can go back and forth, this point can still be drawn out of the Qingliang Mountain."

Huang Chang's face became solemn again. Xu Fengnian glanced at the old man and smiled calmly: "I always think that other people are not good here and that other people are not good. It’s not for the hostility and arrogance. I’m the one who came here, complaining about others all day long, looking around and looking around, it’s even harder for me to calm down. Maybe my husband has never experienced this process in my life, so I made a special trip to Qinglu Cave Academy. Talk more."

Huang Chang was dubious, "Really just saying these few words?"

Xu Fengnian smiled and said: "For academicians talking about border military affairs, it is better to be sparse. I will ask the government to give away a few sets of "The Collection of Military Equipment" compiled by Chen Zhibao. , First clarify the history of our cool swords, guns and crossbows and horse politics in Beiliang, figure out how we run the army in Beiliang, and then talk about the major events of the border army."

Huang Shang said with emotion: "It's better to block it than to sparse it."

Huang Chang hesitated for a moment, and added: "The prince did this thing...beautiful."

Huang Chang is notoriously stingy. This kind of sloppy work is really hard to tell. It can be seen that Xu Fengnian's visit to the academy on a mountain climb this time really made the elderly very satisfied.

Xu Fengnian laughed at himself and said: "Technical work, to be rewarded?"

Huang Shang, who has no grievances in his heart, also let go a lot. "Huang Shang can only do scholarship. If he dare not say five years, he will make Li Yang admire Beiliang's essays."

Before Xu Fengnian got on the horse, he said to Huang Chang: "On the eve of the Qingming Festival, I also ask my husband to take the scholars and scholars to the Forest of Steles in Qingliang Mountain. There will be a wine sacrifice at that time."

Huang Chang was taken aback for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "As it should be!"

Leaving Qinglu Cave Mountain, while the three riders galloped, Lu Yunchang asked: "Master, shall we go to Beiliang Duhufu or the fighting tiger head city?"

Xu Fengnian said in a bad mood: "You go back to the Snow Dragon Cavalry, don't worry about the others."

Yu Dilong shouted: "Master, I want to go to Tiger Head City to kill the barbarians!"

Xu Fengnian was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "Earth Dragon, you and Yun Chang will go to Liuzhou together, and go to Qingcang City to protect Yang Guangdou and Chen Xiliang in secret. If there are war students, you can do it yourself. I allow you to do it yourself. Advocate."

At a fork in the official road, Lu Yunchang was pleasantly surprised, rubbing his hands and said: "Master, then we are going to separate now."

Xu Fengnian gave an ah, not forgetting to remind: "Chang Yun, on the battlefield, stare at your senior, don't let him kill his eyes and ignore everything. In short, none of you should die in Liuzhou. You guys. The real battlefield is the future arena."

Yu Dilong grinned and said: "Master, when I have paid off the big man’s debt, there will be some military merits. Master, don’t forget to reward the silver. I have to send it to Aunt Pei. She builds a courtyard, etc. I have a lot of money to use, so Aunt Pei can’t ask outsiders to borrow money on credit, isn’t it?"

Xu Fengnian smiled and scolded: "You started turning your elbows out at a young age? Okay, that day, the Beiliang Army will need you a copper coin."

Liu Yun laughed loudly: "The water that the married girl throws out!"

Yudilong raised his fist and said anxiously: "Who are you scolding for?! Is it itchy? Help you beat it?"

Xu Fengnian stopped his horse at the fork of the post road, smiling at the back of the two horsemen chasing and fighting, and suddenly whip forward.

In the past years, the young man in Jin Yi, an angry horse whip Liangzhou City.

————

The startling sting has passed, and the vernal equinox is approaching. Xu Fengnian rode solo along the post road north of Liangzhou, which was heavily guarded, to Huaiyangguan. At this time, it was not only the war in the Northern Liang that was getting worse, but the chaos of the world had already appeared. Xie Xikui, a young coach on the Western Front, also served as the chief general of the Eastern Front. He fought three consecutive battles with Song Li, one of the Liyang Young and Zhuang generals who became famous in the ruling and opposition parties, and defeated Yan Zhenchun and Yang Shenxing with his troops. Xie Xiwei, an elite soldier in Jizhou, was once again expected by the Western Chu court. He was defeated in a row and retreated in a row. The Xichu Navy led by Cao Changqing finally stopped standing still and had to start downstream. Pushing forward, in order to reduce pressure on Xie Xiwei on the 6th road, he began to confront the navy of Guangling King Zhao Yi. However, Zhao Bing, the king of Yanchi in southern Xinjiang, raised one hundred thousand elite soldiers and marched northward violently. At the same time, general Lu Shengxiang, the general of the Southern Expedition, Pui Yi, and tens of thousands of troops from the Nanking Ji Camp slowly moved south, echoing the south and north of the army, and the court situation is very good. On the sidelines of the two Liao Dynasty where Gu Jiantang sits, after Yuan Tingshan made a good start in Jibei, Tang Tieshuang, who is Gu Jiantang’s confidant general with Cai Nan, also took the initiative to attack on the east line and cut the six thousand Beimang ranks. For this reason, the Emperor Liyang It was decreed that Tang Tieshuang went to Beijing to replace Lu Shengxiang’s post of Minister of War. This man with the reputation of "Tiger Ben Titan" went south to Beijing, just in time for another servant of the Ministry of War, Xu Gong, who stepped into the two Liao Dynasty. After the second place Wu Congxian and Liyang new chess sage "ten-dan" national player Fan Changhou both declared that they "have entered Beijing one after another", there was also the saying that "Longhu Tubing" by Long Xiang general Xu Gong and Hu Ben Titan.

The prosperity of the Liyang imperial court and popular support set off the turbulence in the northwest. It is said that after the Beiliang Road lost the two cities of Yuzhou Hulukou, Yugongluanhe, Xiaguang City, the last barrier outside the pass, was also crumbling, and the northernmost Hutou City outside Liangzhou Pass was also precarious, making the people of Liyang even more disappointed and angry. It’s a gossip. Youzhou Calabash slogan is full of Wubao, which can hold down Beimang cavalry more than 100,000, but it is said that Beimang’s 300,000 soldiers and horses led by Yang Yuanzan have fought to the present, and now they have increased their strength instead of reducing them. It actually increased to three hundred and fifty thousand. The people in Liyang, especially the people in the capital, will naturally wonder whether the Beiliang barbarians have taken refuge in the Beimang barbarians, otherwise, there is no reason in the world that this battle will fight more and more people?

Hutou City, north of Huaiyangguan Pass and south of Longyan'er Flatland, has always been said to be "out of the box." Xu Xiao has placed as many as 30,000 troops in this big city of Xiongzhen, and the cavalry is close to Ten thousand, more than twenty thousand steppers, all of them are veterans who are good at war. In addition, there are Huaiyangguan and Liuya and Fuling military towns as support. After this line, there are the three major gates of Jinyuan, Qinghe, and Zhongzhong, and the two cities of Scrophulariaceae and Shenwu as the two wings of defense. Then came the Daxue Dragon Cavalry, Gu Dazu's Infantry and He Zhonghu's Cavalry. Different from the passive beating of Youzhou Hulukou, in the north of Liangzhou, apart from Hutou City’s stalwart, Liuya Fuling and Huaiyangguan where the Duhu Mansion is located, all have the cavalry strength to attack, and it is this kind of flexibility. The mobile and powerful combat power swam to support in the rear, making the current defender of Tiger Head City full of generosity and heroism for everyone to die calmly.

When Xu Fengnian was escorted by a team of white horses into the meeting hall of the Imperial Palace, Chu Lushan was discussing the battle with Xu Weixiong, Cavalry Deputy Commander He Zhonghu and others. Seeing Xu Fengnian's arrival, there was no polite greeting, Xu Fengnian So he joined the opportunity without stagnation. Of course, it is impossible for Chu Lushan to ignore Xu Fengnian, the king of the Northern Liang, and help to make a generalization. "Hutou City Liu Lizi speaks loudly, saying that even if he stays alone for a year and a half, it’s okay to have Liu Ya Fuling and All subsequent attacks by the three cavalry forces at Huaiyang Pass are based on the premise that Tiger Head City can be guaranteed. Even at critical moments, Tiger Head City’s 10,000 elite horses can go out of the city at any time. Now we are calculating. How would Fatty Dong’s more than 100,000 Dong’s private army infantry be used, and when would they be used? So far, the forces of Beimang’s siege are still soldiers from the border town of Gusai Prefecture. Thousands of catapults, in batches of 300, take turns to attack the city day and night, which means it looks very lively. Lame Liu said that he was not used to it at the beginning, but now the defenders of Tiger Head City simply ignore the night slings by those who deliberately disgusting people. It’s time to eat and sleep, the military spirit and morale are all right, let us relax."

Speaking of this, Chu Lushan couldn't help but laugh softly: "All the troops are crying children who have milk to eat. If you want to die, dozens of people will say that the battle is as dangerous as the situation. Just count our Beiliang border army. Alien, for fear of'father and mother' worry, even if you are beaten with blood, you have to grit your teeth and carry it down."

Chu Lushan continued: "The two cavalry forces of Liuya Fuling have taken the initiative to attack twice, and the results are not great, but Beimang did not dare to let go of their hands and feet and attack the city, otherwise the thousands of catapults would be opened. , Not to mention fighting against Tiger Head City, even fighting Tai Ancheng is also very imposing. During this period, Beimang dispatched a 30,000 light cavalry to try to intercept the Liuya cavalry and give us Huaiyangguan a chance. They We could not achieve the effect of besieging the city and fighting aid. Instead, we easily slaughtered 6,000 horses. If Dong Zhuo hadn’t asked them to take care of them, we could still eat 10,000 more. Our cavalry advanced north to the Hutou city area with one man. All the barbarians threw them out. Lord, you didn’t see the faces of the barbarians on the front line, and after holding back for several months, you couldn’t get out of shit."

Xu Fengnian smiled and asked: "How much is Yang Yuanzan's specific battle damage in Youzhou?"

The veteran He Zhonghu smiled heartily: "In the gourd mouth, there are already more than 50,000, plus the successful interception of the prince and Yu Luan with Youqi, don’t look at them adding more than 100,000 troops in the East, Jin, and the West. The strength of the town’s troops is actually beating the swollen face to fill the fat man. The army source of the two states was supposed to be used on the eastern line of the two Liaoning provinces. As a result, it was used so early. There was a lot of controversy in Beimang. The east wall complements the west wall. Some people have suggested that the military power should be handed over to Tuoba Bodhisattva. If the peace order is not blocked by him, Dong Zhuo may be slapped and fucked."

Xu Fengnian looked at the sand table and nodded softly: "Let’s not rush to fight the final victory, just a little bit of Beimang’s patience. The battlefield has always been an extension of the temple. We fight for this battle. At the end of the second year of Xiangfu, we succeeded in defeating Dong Zhuo and lost the King of the South Court, even if we Beiliang won. The next three years of Xiangfu will be a lot easier."

Xu Weixiong nodded quietly, agreeing with Xu Fengnian's statement that "no fault is merit" is highly conservative and suspect.

Chu Lushan glanced at Tiger Head City on the sand table, "Then we must first ensure that Tiger Head City is not lost, so that Dong Zhuo will not pant."

Xu Fengnian said calmly: "So even if Liu Jinu and Hutoucheng can guard it or not, they have to defend it! Pass the word to him, Hutoucheng used to be the kind of Dawubao in Youzhou gourd mouth. Now it’s different. He can die, but Tiger Head City must not be lost. Therefore, whenever Tiger Head City loses its defense, no matter what method is used, we must immediately let the Protectorate know, and then we even use Jinyuan The five soldiers and horses of Qinghe Zhongzhong and Scrophulariaceae Shenwu must also relieve their pressure. Even the 10,000 snow dragons and 8,000 heavy cavalry can be used together at critical moments."

He Zhonghu and several prominent veterans looked at each other, and stopped talking.

In the established strategy of Beiliang, after a certain amount of Beimang’s troops is consumed, all the Fortresses in the three cities of Hulukou in Youzhou can be thrown away, and the city of Guanzhen to the north of Liangzhou can also be thrown away. There is no such thing as a defender at all costs. Condition.

Is it worth it for a Dong Zhuo?

Gu Dazu closed his eyes and began to deliberate the situation and weigh the pros and cons in his mind silently.

He Zhonghu subconsciously looked at Chu Lu Mountain, the guardian of the Northern Liang Dynasty. The Great King of Beimang South Court was once his defeated man. It is reasonable to say that Chu Lushan should refute this proposal. However, in He Zhonghu’s eyes, Chu Lushan has no words, but hands. Ten fingers intertwined on his abdomen, his eyes swiftly swimming on the sand table.

At this moment when Chu Lushan didn’t even speak, Xu Weixiong probably only dared to speak out. She frowned and said, “If the definition of Tiger Head City is changed, the entire Liangzhou line of defense will change accordingly. This has a huge impact on Lingzhou in the rear."

Xu Fengnian replied: "Even if Xu Beizhi empties the entire Lingzhou and surrounding areas of Lingzhou, it will make Liangzhou's grain and grass run smoothly."

Gu Dazu said to himself: "Are you fighting outside the country? Although this is my biggest dream in my life~IndoMTL.com~, it is really suitable for Beiliang, who has spared no effort to expand the depth before. Right?"

This must be the first time Xu Fengnian has shown an undoubtedly tough stance on border affairs.

The atmosphere in the Duhu Mansion is particularly solemn.

Xu Fengnian asked suddenly: "The armor that Commander Yuan was going to leave with me at the time, said that it meant Duhufu?"

Xu Weixiong has a strange face.

Chu Lushan chuckled and said: "I originally wanted to be in this hall, looking at the grandeur, and then after thinking about it, he was sent to Tiger Head City, and Liu Lizi gave it to someone else."

Xu Fengnian was at a loss.

Chu Lushan put a smile away, and said: "Give it to our first general Beiliang who died in battle."

Xu Fengnian looked down at the sand table, "I know, it's the tribulus of Tiger Head City. At that time, he was sitting at the end in the courtyard of the city, because he scolded me, so he didn't dare to see anyone."
