    The vassal residence in Jubeicheng was shrouded in a dull and solemn atmosphere. In addition to the 140,000 private troops under his command that surrounded Huaiyang Pass, Dong Zhuo also persuaded Emperor Beimang to mobilize 20,000 homeless criminals who had lost their status in the grasslands to participate in the attack on Huaiyang Pass.  During the Battle of Yangguan Outer City, the frantic Dong Zhuo threatened to use corpses to pile up a gentle slope to the top of the city.  The left and right cavalry led by Lu Dayuan and Li Yanchao respectively, after a series of small-scale contacts with the leading cavalry of Donglei Jingqi and Rouran Iron Cavalry, finally ushered in a big battle, with two battlefields and four Liangmang armies.  The cavalry has a total investment of nearly 40,000 troops. Obviously, neither the enemy nor we have mobilized in full force. The strength of the Beimang Donglei Jingqi is unexpected. The Rouran cavalry, which has reached 10,000 people, cannot be underestimated. Compared with those before Jubeicheng  Estimating the situation, the casualties of the left and right cavalry were slightly larger, which meant that once they were entangled by the two Beimang soldiers and horses who were observing the order, it would be difficult to escape easily.

    Once this main force in the Beiliangguan field battle loses the flexibility to move to large-scale battlefields, except for the 10,000 Snow Dragon Cavalry who can still fight and retreat, the two heavy cavalry armies that are destined to be unable to participate in large-scale battles alone are very likely to fall into an embarrassing situation.  On the other hand, the army on the middle road of Beimang, after the second front jointly created by Wang Yong, He Lian and Wuwei, there is also a prince, His Royal Highness, who "conquers personally". This noble man from Tianhuang, who is less than one person in Beimang and more than ten thousand people, has only rarely appeared next to him.  On the battlefield, the royal cavalry Qie Xue Jun, and the two heavy cavalry armies named after Yelu and Murong were eyeing them. The heavy cavalry army was indeed terrifying in combat power, but it relied heavily on the large-scale main cavalry army. It was like a sword.  The two-sleeved green snake of God Li Chungang needs the support of majestic energy, otherwise it will be a flashy dragon-slaying skill. This is the difficulty for Beiliang to resist Beimang's soldiers with one force. If Beiliang's frontier army can have more  A hundred thousand cavalry troops then Beimang will definitely not choose Beiliang as the route south to the Central Plains. He will turn around and go straight to the border between Liyang and Liao to fight with Gu Dazhu.  Prefecture, it is not difficult to follow the southern invasion passage that the prairie cavalry is most familiar with, penetrate directly into the hinterland of the Central Plains, or turn eastward to leave Yangjingji and attack Tai'an City.  But in this case, the situation in the world is no longer just the Beiliang cavalry sleeping comfortably on the side of the couch behind the Beimang cavalry, but the situation is leisurely and leisurely watching the fire from the other side, and if you are patient, you can reap the benefits of the fishermen.  , when the time comes, whether the surname of the Central Plains and the grassland will be Zhao or Murong, it just depends on the mood of the young vassal king. It may be possible to simply change the surname to Xu.

    In the study room next to the second hall's signature room, at noon, the sun was shining brightly and the heat was unbearable. As a result, six or seven official officials, including Wang Jijiu, Yang Shenxing and Bai Yu, gathered in the small study room, except for Deputy Jiedu.  Yang Shenxing came here to discuss military affairs, and the rest of the people came here to escape the summer heat. Although this study is small, only the young lord is handling official affairs. Although the Sixth Branch Wing is large, there are more than ten or twenty people gathered together.  The most important thing is that Mr. Li, the manager, personally took the initiative and helped transplant a loquat tree in the yard outside the study. It was of a moderate height and provided shade without blocking the light too much. Therefore, the small study was virtually invisible.  It became an excellent summer resort. When Yang Shenxing was discussing matters across the table with the young vassal king, behind this Spring and Autumn veteran who was relegated to the northwest frontier by Li Yang, Mr. Bai Lian was sitting on a chair by the window, gently waving a cattail leaf fan, enjoying the breeze.  Gradually, Wang Jijiu shamelessly pulled Li Gongde into a battle. It was a pleasure to beat his opponent with catalpas and enjoy the cool breeze brought by Bai Yu's shaking fan.

    The young vassal prince had already read the detailed military intelligence reports about the cavalry army's combat experience outside the pass. Yang Shenxing's coming here today was not to repeat the same old tune, but to present a huge problem to Jubeicheng or all the Beiliang frontier troops.  The problem is that the three cavalry armies of Qingyuan Army's Shifu Cavalry, Tiefu Tu, and Baiyu Qingqi, as the important mobile forces outside Liangzhou Pass in addition to the first field force, have now moved to fight at Laonu Mountain in Liuzhou, so once the left and right sides  The cavalry army failed to kill Murong Baoding's main force of 60,000 fine cavalry, but was bitten by Wang Yong and Helian Wuwei, two soldiers and horses from the Northern Mang who held orders. What should Jubei City do?  It can even be said that this dangerous deployment of troops is very likely to lead to a tragic ending for both Liang and Mang. The main force of the Huang and Song Pu's southern expedition was destroyed in the Laomu Mountain area, but Northern Liang will also lose the front line of Huaiyang Pass.

    Yang Shenxing said worriedly: "At the beginning, we did not expect that when Yu Luan Dao led his army to attack Xijing, Cao Wei's Wanqi also made a gesture of supporting the Yu Luan Dao's You Qi to invade the north. However, Beimang turned out to be just from the confrontation with the two Liaos.  On the eastern front, the cavalry of Wang Jingchong, the king of Dongbabo, was deployed, but there was no movement. It seemed that he did not care about the safety of the capital of the Southern Dynasties. In the end, he ordered the military towns along the way to rush south to assist Laohu Mountain. Could it be that the old woman lost her mind?  Crazy, do you really not care that the entire Gu Sai Prefecture is filled with smoke? You must know that Gu Sai Prefecture is bordered by two states to the north. It has always been empty of troops, but has developed post roads. Once we win the victory at Laoguoshan, we will join forces with Yu Luan and Cao Wei.  The cavalry troops should cooperate with each other inside and outside. Is Beimang going to surrender half of the Southern Dynasty with both hands?"

    Xu Fengnian did not dare to make any judgments, but smiled bitterly and said: "Instead of cherishing Yu"The Emperor Liyang would never dare to do this. If it were the old woman, it would be hard to say.  "

    Yang Shenxing frowned, "If you change this way, who will lose and who will gain? Beimang is not afraid of being smashed by our cavalry in the Southern Dynasty. It will not be possible to recover within ten years and go south to the Central Plains?"

    Xu Fengnian shook his head and said: "If it were in the past, the Liyang court would still have control over the original map of China, and that would be the case. But now that the three kings have raised their troops, everything has become a variable. Of course, Beimang can also make a desperate gamble."

    Xu Fengnian gently held a piece of white jade seed material about the size of an egg, held it in the palm of his hand, and rubbed it slowly. This piece of seed material was slightly jujube red, with a delicate texture and a clumsy appearance. Xu Fengnian couldn't put it down. In fact, the object itself was not that rare.  Compared with those carved suet-fat jade, the price is even more different, but the origin of this object is very interesting. Jiang Ni, Xu Ying and Jia Jiajia secretly carried a heavy cloth bag back to the city not long ago.  In Beicheng, everyone's clothes were stained with dust and mud. They came to the study struttingly as if asking for credit. They opened the knots of the cloth bags and fell to the ground. Most of them were ordinary pebbles that were cute and cute, mixed with some that could barely be sold for some copper coins.  Sapphire, but the three of them actually found a treasure, which was the fine white jade seed material that Xu Fengnian finally left on the desk to play with. Xu Fengnian was so cunning and treacherous. He squatted down and pretended to belittle the stone, saying that this stone was worthless.  The stone was worth even the cobblestones that looked unsightly on the road. Finally, he sighed and picked up the particularly pleasant piece of seed material with a pretty skin. He tossed it casually, then took out five or six copper coins from his purse and threw them to the dusty man.  The little clay figurine said this was a friendly price.  Although the little clay figurine was suspicious and felt that he had suffered a loss, he was still a fledgling in the business world, so he was shamelessly picked up by the young feudal lord. Logically speaking, such a piece of seed material with excellent appearance and texture was transferred to Jiangnan Road.  A scholarly family should have a small amount of twenty taels of silver. It would be even more difficult to have it carved by a famous jade craftsman.  When the three girls finally left the study, the new money bag on Jiang Ni's waist, which had been shriveled since arriving in Jubei City, finally had some life. Jia Jiajia picked up the heavy cloth bag filled with stones and planned to pile it up in the yard.  Playing in the nest, Xu Ying took the copper coin given to her by the ginger paste, and everyone was happy.

    Yang Shenxing, who was hesitant to speak, finally lowered his voice and asked after the battle between heaven and man: "May I ask why the prince insisted on winning the Liuzhou war? He even did not hesitate to mobilize the troops of Qingyuan Army to leave Liangzhou?"

    Xu Fengnian suddenly clenched the piece of seed material that was gradually getting warm in the palm of his hand. He stared at the deputy governor who was standing in Beiliang Road, and suddenly joked: "What do you think?"

    Yang Shenxing was caught off guard and didn¡¯t know how to answer.  After truly integrating into the officialdom of Beiliang, this Spring and Autumn veteran also knew some anecdotes about Beiliang that had never spread to the Central Plains and the capital. For example, the old Liang King Xu Xiao liked to say "guess", which is one of his catchphrases.

    Seeing the old man's unconcealable restraint and helplessness, Xu Fengnian smiled and said straight to the point: "This involves a lot of inside information. For example, the Prince of Beimang once sent someone to send me a message, and Yelu Dongfang talked to me privately before leaving the Central Plains for the grassland.  During the meeting, there was also a long-term plan related to Hong Jia's north run, which even involved Wang Sui, the coach of Beimang's western front, and Gu Dazhuguo, who was in charge of Liang Liao. If I really want to go into detail, I'm afraid I will have to talk about it at night.  , I believe General Yang is sure of one thing. On the battlefield outside the Liangzhou Pass north of Jubeicheng, with the strength of both Liang and Mang, our Beiliang Iron Cavalry will not be able to win a complete victory on the frontal battlefield.  It¡¯s not impossible for Shen to lose every game, right?¡±

    Yang Shenxing nodded without hesitation.

    Xu Fengnian gently placed the piece of white jade information on the desk, like the pieces on a chessboard. "When my master was still alive, he always told me a truth that the strength of national players was always outside the chessboard. When I was a child, I thought it was my master who always lost when he played chess.  Giving me the second sister was giving him an excuse for his lack of strength in chess, but over time, I felt that everything in the world only needs to be won or lost like Go, and this is the truth."

    Xu Fengnian stood up slowly, stretched out his fingers to hold the piece of seed material, "Xu Xiao's early years when he was in the most difficult situation in Liyang, because he fought too many tough and deadly battles that others were not willing to fight, he never had many troops at his disposal.  Why are the big guys in the Liyang Ministry of War still willing to bet on Xu Xiao again and again? It's simple. Xu Xiao can always win a battle when almost everyone is not optimistic about him, so as to attract the attention of the temple and let his players win.  The old foxes who hold the power of the military talisman feel that it is worth making another bet. The insider information I mentioned earlier, the national players hiding behind the heavy curtains, are actually very empty. Both sides of Beiliang and I know it well, and they will only hide the rabbits.  Ying, there is no other way. Beiliang can only take the wrong approach and let those standing in front of the gambling table feel that it is time to sit down and bet a big one. Otherwise, if you are slow in taking action, you will only get some stuffed teeth.  The leftovers of sewing.¡±

    Xu Fengnian smiled and said: "None of these guys have a small appetite, so I have to show them sincerity, for example"

    ?Yang Shenxing subconsciously asked: "For example?"

    Xu Fengnian said in a young voice: "For example, while the cavalry outside the Liangzhou Pass tried to defend Beicheng, the Liuzhou cavalry won a great victory at Laoguoshan, and then went all the way north to capture Xijing in Beimang and the Southern Dynasties."

    Yang Shenxing is a master figure who practices in the officialdom and on the battlefield.

    It¡¯s just that this veteran who has experienced the wars of the Spring and Autumn Period is not relaxed at all, but becomes increasingly heavy-hearted.

    The young vassal king only said that he was guarding Jubei City, so what if it was located north of Jubei City?

    There are three major military towns: Huaiyang Pass and Liuya Fuling Chongzhong.

    Chu Lushan, Zhou Kang, Li Yanchao, Lu Dayuan, four generals.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    At some point, except for the two people standing across the table, everyone in the study had left.

    After Yang Shenxing also walked out of the study, the young lord held the piece of seed material, walked to the window, and looked up at the loquat tree. Even in the Mid-Autumn Festival, the greenery was still lush.

    In spring, summer, autumn and winter, the leaves can grow green.  Birth, old age, illness and death, people do not live forever.
