The Snowy Path of the Heroic Blade Chapter 99: Dawang patrols the mountain
(There are two more chapters in the evening.)
The northwest frontier, the isolated city is Yiqi, and the clouds and sand are flooded.
At dawn, the horse's hoof is light, and the tall qi training master pulls the rein on his horse, looking at this desolate picture of the sky and the earth, his mood is particularly peaceful. There are only two riders by her side. Wu Liuding and Wu Jia Baiqi, led by the female sword servant, parted ways with them one day ago. Under the **** of Baima Yicong, they went to the Beiliang Duhufu resident where Chu Lushan is seated. No surprises. This group of top swordsmen in the world will be used as the most concealed and sharp "tip" of the Northern Liang Frontier Army. As for that young minister Xu Beizhi has also returned alone. And she, Xu Fengnian and Sui Xiegu continued northward, passing directly through the border defense line at the junction of Liang and Mang, swaggering to the territory of Longyaozhou in the Southern Dynasties. Tantai calmly bent down and stretched out her hand to stroke the soft horsemane. This war horse is so handsome. It is true that only Beiliang can raise such a powerful steed. She raised her head and glanced at the quiet and speechless young Liang Wang sitting on a high horse. During this journey, letters of military intelligence were continuously delivered to him. Xu Fengnian saw it and burned it casually. It seemed that he never intervened in border military affairs. This kind of hand-waving shopkeeper seems to be very easy and comfortable to do, as if anyone can sit in his position. However, the tranquility of Tantai is not enough to be such a frog at the bottom of the well. Since Beiliang claims to have 300,000 iron knights in his hand, if he is in the world of singing and dancing, he can be the prince of Taiping if he is not surnamed Xu. What's more, it's still the current chaotic situation. Beimang's millions of troops are oppressing the territory, and any mediocre master who can't convince the people has the northwest portal. Before Beimang's army can show its troops, Beiliang is already in chaos. No matter how much the army is, as long as the army is distracted, even if it is given to Beiliang 300,000 soldiers, it will not stop the Beimang tiger and wolf division who was released from the cage by the old woman.
Xu Fengnian's thumb and index finger subconsciously rubbed the rugged horse's rein, stationed on the hillside of the horse, and looked up.
Huo Jueyan sinks to the right West Pole, and Gu Jingshan is empty and left Beiping. But so that the general can fight a hundred battles, without the emperor building the Great Wall.
This is a frontier fortress poem popular in the Central Plains. The poet is a poor man with a bright future, and disaster comes out of his mouth. It is precisely because this poem is known as "melting the coolness and enchanting Xu" in the literary world, the poet returned to the Central Plains. After becoming an official, he spent more than ten years in the local officialdom, never being able to get promoted, and finally resigned in depression and fell silent. When Xu Fengnian traveled with Lao Huang for the first time, he used to go to the poet's hometown. Although he was very shy at the time, it was okay to buy a pot of wine and carry him with a swollen face, but it was a pity that the moss was full of orders and no one was seen. . Xu Fengyou breathed out a sigh of breath. At that time, I only felt that the emperor of the Zhao family must have moved his hands and feet. Later, after experiencing some official rules personally, it gradually became clear that it is not necessarily the man who sits on the dragon chair who is so careful, but is trying to figure out the heart of the sky. The local snake officials are observing their words. Not talking about the distance, just talking about Beiliang, which is close at hand. In order to curry favor with themselves, how many officials often get valuable antique calligraphy and paintings to get in touch with the Qingzhou Lu clan, who has become a relative of Beiliang? How many unknown backdoors have been opened for the unhindered flow of Lu's children in the officialdom of Beiliang? Even some of the academies who can be regarded as the clearest in Beiliang, they also have blue eyes on the plainly literate Lu family, hoping to forge a bit of incense with the Lu family and then with the Xu family. Had it not been for Lu Chengyan's own opinions, Lu Feichi, the head of the Lu family, would have taken this opportunity to become the lord of the Northern Liang literary world. Xu Fengnian is inevitably a little bit sentimental. He still remembers the ordinary bamboo strip lantern that Lu Feichi gave to Lu Feichi before his death. He wanted Lu Feichi to take over the lights that flickered with the chaos and fight for the end of the fire. . Obviously, Lu Feichi, who had long complained about the relocation of his family to the barren Beiliang, was too smooth in the process of taking root in Beiliang, and suddenly found that the Lu family had a great scenery in Beiliang, not only Lu Feichi. , The whole Lu family was too quick to get overwhelmed, far from being as clumsy as the old fox Wang Linquan, who was "the relative of the emperor and the country." But what really made Xu Fengnian feel depressed was Wang Linquan's security and self-preservation. The more the Chunshen Lake Wang family deliberately tolerated the Lu family of scholarly family, why didn't they deliberately dig a hole to let Lu jump in? Wang Linquan's arrogant calculations actually caused Xu Fengnian's headache more than the Lu family's ignorance.
However, these sages are hard to judge, and they can’t be said and can’t make sense. Xu Fengnian, as the "long-term son-in-law" of the two families, can never take the identity of the King of Northern Liang and dominate others. It is probably a mistake. There are many endings, and there is always no way to escape the argument that favoritism.
Fortunately, these thorny things are not considered urgent, and Lu Chengyan's handling of the woman is also appropriate, even the second sister Xu Weixiong admits that she can't pick out Lu Chengyan's flaws. Between woman and woman, mother-in-law, aunt-in-law, and concubine, these relationships are all bloodless. When the man is in it, it is natural that he suffers incomparably.
Xu Fengnian, or Beiliang’s catastrophe, hasn’t changed in a day since Xu Xiao was appointed to the Beiliang, and he is the Beimang who is eye-catching.
As long as the Northern Liang can be eliminated and the eastern frontier where Gu Jiantang sits, then the Central Plains in the anointed land will be a lady to be slaughtered. How can this hungry and thirsty man like Bei Mang not attack Beiliang desperately?
In the past, under the planning of Xu Xiao and master Li Yishan, although Beiliang did not have the problem of guarding or not guarding, how to guard is a live guard. There is still enough room for Beiliang’s iron cavalry to move around, and it can bring the refugees together. To retreat to the Western Regions, you can also retreat to the Xishu and Nanzhao as a support, enough to fight to the end with the Beimang army. Even if Beimang defeated Beiliang, which took the initiative to withdraw troops after the war was unfavorable, it was still a solitary place with strong walls and clear fields. For the supply line of Beimang army, Beiliang can continue to confront Beimang at the border of Xishu, and even harass Beimang, which has a long front line in the vast Western Regions. But because Chen Zhibao sealed the king into Shu, the entire vertical western line of Beiliang, Xishu and Nanzhao was cut off. As a result, Xu Fengnian and Beiliang would have no strategic depth and only defend themselves.
Xu Fengnian has some unspeakable guilt deep in his heart. It is not ashamed to the people of Beiliang, but he just feels ashamed to Li Yishan.
The Northern Liang Army was too optimistic about the fire in the backyard of the Northern Mang Palace. Xu Fengnian didn’t think it could contain the combat power of the Northern Mang Empire. Both enlightenment and power, one hand is Tuoba Bodhisattva's army suppression, and the other hand is the marquis entrusted by the Central Plains.
Sui Xiegu is a hundred years old, and has traveled across the vast rivers and corners of the world, and the emperor’s generals and servants have also seen it. It is difficult for the world to evoke the feelings of this one-armed old man. He is beside Xu Fengnian, who is dazed. It was really boring and asked casually: "When the old man was young, he didn't understand why those generals and soldiers liked to fight. Are you really afraid of death? The Spring and Autumn Wars are easy to understand. People in troubled times are not as good as peace dogs. That was forcing everyone not to take their lives. Now Beiliang has been in peace for a long time. Can it really stop the millions of Beimang army?"
Xu Fengnian said calmly: "The simple truth is to give up your family for the country and your family. No one is afraid of death, but everyone has an account in their heart. In addition to their courageous nature, many people know that they have no retreat. Their home is in Beiliang. As soon as they retreat, the frontier army is scattered, and the northern barbarians ride south, even if they escape from Beiliang. One leg can't run the four legs of the Northern Warhorse."
Sui Xiegu curled his lips and sarcastically said: "You are officials, none of them are good things."
Xu Fengnian smiled and said: "Am I not going back?"
Sui Xiegu rolled his eyes and said: "With your skill, if you really want to kill, how can you not only go to Longyaozhou to kill them seven in seven? Is it possible that Tuoba Bodhisattva and Hong Jingyan can follow every day? Staring behind your ass?"
Xu Fengnian said calmly: "I can kill like this, but the characters on Beimangwu's commentary can also kill back like this. The two countries are at war. Such a move cannot be said to be meaningless, but it is really meaningless. .Of course, if one day Beiliang cannot keep the northwest gate, I will definitely do it."
Sui Xiegu still had to speak, only to listen to Tantai's calm and cold snort, the old sword-eater monster with wavering eyebrows immediately closed his mouth.
At this moment, there was a cloud of dust in the distance. Looking at the route, I was going to drive south, probably because I saw the abrupt three riders on the small sand slope. These superb riding guys went straight to the hillside, but did not act rashly. , But stopped fifty feet away from the bottom of the slope, facing Xu Fengnian and three of them at the top of the slope.
It is an elite scout of Beimang, looking at the armor and clothing, not the crow column, which is as famous as the Northern Liang crossbowmen, but should be the pioneer of the line of Liu Gui, the great general of the Southern Dynasties.
Liu Gui was once praised as a half Xu Xiao by the Empress Beimang. It was originally one of the candidates who was expected to succeed Huang Songpu as the Great King of the South Campus, but only to give the "Dong Fat Dun'er" who was in the old woman's mouth the first step.
As a scout, whether it is Beimang or Beiliang, they are the most disciplined. Unless it is a narrow road meeting between colleagues, collecting military information without revealing their whereabouts is the first priority.
But if you can remove a few enemy heads at your fingertips, no one will probably refuse.
One of the standard scouts rushed out, shooting a bow at a hundred paces away, with an excellent head, and pierced the head of Xu Fengnian, who was in the middle of the three rides on the slope. This barbarian probably wanted to determine the strength of these three riders. If he didn't mess with the big deal, he would retreat. If it was embroidered pillows, he would kill people and win horses.
Now that the Liang and Mang armies are facing each other, the first to exchange lives must be the scout.
Xu Fengnian turned his head to avoid this arrow.
The standard spy quickly turned his horse's head and retreated.
Sui Xiegu widened his eyes and asked, "I won't eat the meat delivered to my mouth? Mosquito meat is not meat?"
Xu Fengnian shook his head and said: "Naturally, there will be secretly stalked by the top Northern Liang crossbowmen. Now Beimang’s harassment seems inexplicable. I have already paid an immeasurable loss in order to obtain Beimang’s accurate motives. The marching route of Detective Beimang has become the most precious clue. As for who is the real bait, it depends on the strength and luck of both parties."
Sui Xiegu grinned and said: "Bending the intestines, it's really unprofitable!"
Xu Fengnian smiled and said: "Does the Beimang army of millions of people obediently hoard a place, and then a one-time fight with our 30 iron knights is a good profit?"
Sui Xiegu replied: "You save trouble, he saves trouble, everyone is happy, who loses and who gets fucked, what will happen?"
Xu Fengnian couldn't help but smiled, "Bei Manzi really hopes that Bei Liang will do this. To be honest, I think about it."
The old swordsman's statement sounds very layman and absurd, but if Liang Mang can really be so resolute, he will never leave any room for it, and everyone will be happy. Bei Mang has the hope of eating the obstacles that stand in the way to the south, and Bei Liang is not hopeless to defeat the north in one fell swoop. Reckless army. Beimang’s advantage is obvious, and the number of people is absolutely dominant. However, Beiliang’s advantage is that the Beimang army temporarily has no leader. Although Dong Zhuo is already the commander of the army in name, he has more than 100,000 Dong’s army under his command, and Hong Jingyan’s soft cavalry. , Wu Jun from Gusai Prefecture, Longyao Prefecture, Liu Gui Yang Yuanzan and several other generals, he, the Great King of the South Court, can be mobilized, but he can't do it like an arm. Unlike Beiliang, Chu Lushan and Yuan Zuozong Absolute control over the Northern Liang Army can be achieved, and this is where the Northern Liang's opportunity lies in the confrontation that will determine the outcome of the first battle. It's just that this kind of "controversy of spirit", which is equivalent to placing a bet on two dynasties and Guozuo, is too extravagant for both parties.
Xu Fengnian watched the Beimang scouts retreating north, and whispered: "Half Xu Xiao? No matter who wins or loses in this big battle, your Liu Gui's 40,000 horses will definitely die."
Tantai asked calmly: "What should I say next? Should I go to the Duhu Mansion or continue northward?"
"Go and take a look at Beimang Million Army~IndoMTL.com~Xu Fengnian rides downhill and gallops north.
Sui Xiegu, who can only follow behind, said angrily: "Don't you kid say that this kind of behavior is meaningless?!"
Xu Fengnian squinted his eyes with a smile, turned his head to look at the tall woman, pretending to be stupid and asked: "Senior Tantai, did I say something?"
Tantai calmly said without expression: "No."
Sui Xiegu wanted to speak but stopped, and it was uncomfortable to hold back.
Xu Fengnian hummed a small song by himself.
The king told me to visit the mountain Yo, after the tour of Beishan and Nanshan~
I patrolled Dongshan to kill passers-by, and patrolled Xishan to see the sun. My prince has three heads and six arms. I robbed my little mother and carried him on his back. I was so pitiful that my mouth was too fat to swallow. When can I turn over and become a prince......
