Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Xiangfu three years, autumn.

    The yin energy becomes heavier and the dew turns white.

    The coolness of the Central Plains is greatest in the northwest border areas.

    In the dusk, outside the northern city, a mighty 400,000 prairie cavalry troops formed an endless camp, their horses neighing and gathering like thunder.

    Dozens of small stocks with dozens of riders continued to travel, quickly approached the North City, and then looked up at the edge of the crossbow range, looked up at the city, and pointed at the city head with a whip war.

    Just to the north of Beicheng, there are more than 40 large-scale crossbows, which are expensive to build and are hailed as important weapons of the country by military strategists of all generations. Their range and power are absolutely beyond the imagination of the grassland. Spring and Autumn Soldier Ye Bai Kui is there  On the battlefield of Xileibi, he said sincerely, "A nine-oxen crossbow can destroy a mountain with one arrow, and it can kill a grandmaster with three hundred strides!"

    But for some reason, facing the Beimang cavalry who were outside the range of ordinary crossbows, the bed crossbow at the head of Beiliang City remained motionless, showing no signs of taking the lead in making achievements with this first-class weapon of a military strategist.

    In fact, Beimang had already experienced the power of Hutou City's bed crossbow, but the group of Grassland Daxiti responsible for attacking the city. At that time, Dong Zhuo, the king of the South Campus, attacked Hutou City regardless of casualties, causing heavy casualties to the main force of other units and severely damaging their vitality.  Nowadays, almost all of them are still licking their wounds silently in the grassland jurisdiction and did not participate in this southern expedition.  In the First Liangmang War, General Yang Yuanzan, who led his army into Hulukou, Youzhou, died in the battle. If Beiliang had not wanted to use the head of this Southern Dynasty general in exchange for the body of Liu Jinu in Hutou City, Yang Yuanzan's would have died.  He can only continue to become one of the bones in a certain Beijing in Hulukou. As for the meritorious deputy general Zhong Tan who broke through the two cities of Wo Gong and He Luan, he was defeated and captured in the battle of Miyun. He is still imprisoned in Jubei City, and Dong Zhuo is in  The north mainly attacked Huaiyang Pass and did not follow the army south to reject Beicheng. Therefore, the Beimang army's impression of Beiliang still stayed on the word "iron cavalry". This is naturally attributed to Dong Zhuo who used his tactics to defeat Hutou City. Even if Dong Zhuo was in  After resigning from the position of King of Nanyuan, he repeatedly reminded his colleagues in the temple of the Southern Dynasty that Hutou City, the first town in the northwest frontier in the past, was extremely difficult to attack.  The majestic new city cannot be conquered in a short period of time. The prairie cavalry marching south is like a horse leaping over a natural chasm, so they must be prepared for the worst-case scenario of losing more than ten big guns.  It's a pity that Dong Zhuo has lost his prestigious position as the King of the South Campus, and his words are much lighter. Secondly, in the first Liangmang battle, Dong Zhuo deliberately reserved his strength and consumed the grassland Xiti power for the old woman.  His reputation in the northern and southern capitals became worse and worse. Finally, the official circles of the two temples felt that Fatty Dong was deliberately exaggerating and making the attack on Beiliang New City as difficult as heaven. He was just trying to justify the victory of a tiger.  With Toucheng's great achievements in hand, he demonstrated his military merits, and still hoped that one day he would be able to take over the power and once again ride on the necks of all the generals to issue orders.

    ??There are grassland dignitaries who are constantly riding horses and galloping outside the city, shouting arrogantly: "Grandpa is here! That coward named Xu from Beiliang dares to go out of the city to fight?!"

    Some prairie generals with astonishing physical strength even drew their bows like the full moon, galloping forward on horseback, with the bow strings taut. After a thumping sound, the arrows shot towards the gate of Jubei City, and they quickly penetrated the gate, their feathers trembling.  more than.

    When these famous marksmen on the grassland turned their horses to return, they received roaring cheers from the front of the Beimang camp.

    It turned out that the catapults that fell behind the cavalry continued to advance southward along the gap between the camp, totaling 900, plus the 1,400 catapults that Wang Yong, the commander of the Aquarius Prefecture, escorted to the battlefield before dawn.  Hundreds, so there are 2,300 catapults alone, and the huge reserve of huge rocks is so rich that it is said to have hollowed out the two confronting peaks in Longyao Prefecture in the Southern Dynasty. According to legend, His Majesty the Beimang Emperor and the Taiping Order personally took the time to go there.  , the old woman wearing a dragon robe and holding the Heavenly Constitution in her mouth personally decreed the two mountains to be the mountain gods of the country, and promised to conquer Jubei City in the future. When the grassland finally unified the Central Plains, the two mountain gods who had temporarily lost their roots could take over respectively.  East and west mountains.

    Among the siege equipment, in addition to these catapults carefully built by the ordnance supervisors of the Southern Dynasties, Beimang, who did not hesitate to use all his national resources to fight this big battle, also included countless baggage, equipped with buildings as high as Jubei City.  There are more than 100 carriages. Because the carriages were originally built for Hutou City, after the more majestic and towering Jubei City was built, they had to be temporarily raised. For this reason, nearly ten thousand strong craftsmen were hired urgently and started work overnight.  In order not to waste the opportunity to fight and be angered by His Majesty the Emperor.  Because of the vastness of the project, the Southern Dynasty court put even greater pressure on the Ordnance Supervisor, which made the officials from top to bottom look thin and skinny. However, on top of the purchase of stone dumping trucks and the heightening of building trucks, it was rumored that the military  With this extra income alone, the officials in charge of medical equipment were able to make a lot of money. They were ridiculed in a poem written by a frustrated Hongjia survivor. One of the lines included "The skinny and rugged money bag is bulging, and the sleeves are not windy."  In order to spread the word, it was specially used to satirize the military weapons supervision officials for enriching their own pockets and enriching the country's embarrassment.  The Beimang and Southern Dynasty Ordnance Supervision had three departments: armor, bows and crossbows, and city climbing departments, and siege equipment such as chariots and chariots were all subordinated to it.When he arrived at the city office, the official did not expect that the matter would be so loudly spread inside and outside the court. He was frightened and almost resigned from office to apologize. Unexpectedly, His Majesty the Emperor, who had always been kind to the remnants of the Southern Dynasties, actually issued an order to arrest the man who was born.  Scholars from the small Ding clan in the Southern Dynasty were arrested and executed for the crime of misleading the public with evil words.  What really relieved the director was a private conversation with the Chief of the Ordnance Supervision, saying that His Majesty the Emperor had seen with his own eyes what our supervisor had made, and believed that there were no flaws and that the material was of high quality and was quite good. In this case, it was  Great contribution to the grassland, a little bit of night grass windfall, no harm.

    In addition, the Southern Dynasties, which imitated the Central Plains in opening up post roads on a large scale, built three post roads across and across the Longyao Prefecture within half a year to transport grain, grass and baggage.  Although the various states are not as willing to drain the swamp and fish as much as the dragon waist, they have also opened up a post road that goes straight to the dragon waist. On the fertile grasslands in the north, there are often hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep, following the horses of the prairie men.  Iron hoof went south together.  All of this was undoubtedly paving the way for the offensive and defensive battle to deny Beicheng. At the same time, almost all the resources of the Southern Dynasty were tilted toward Longyao Prefecture, which borders Liangzhou Pass. Dong Zhuo was able to easily obtain a large number of grassland young men to siege.  Huaiyang Pass is also attributed to this.  Before the first Beimang War, Tuoba Bodhisattva purged the Beiting forces on the grassland, and there were a large number of homeless criminals who had lost the protection of Xiti. They had to go to the battlefield to restore their identity through military exploits. At that time, the main force of Yang Yuanzan's southern expedition was unexpectedly wiped out.  , which led to the Beimang Central Army's attack on Hutou City to fall short, and this gave the Beiliang frontier army some breathing space. I believe that this time, Beimang will never retreat easily, even if Huang Songpu has already fought in the Liuzhou battlefield.  He died and met the same miserable end as Yang Yuanzan, becoming the tallest general in Beimang who died in battle in Beimang. The bad news spread throughout the Southern Dynasties, and the temples were in mourning. His Majesty the Beimang Emperor still did not hesitate to let His Royal Highness Prince Yelu Hongcai  As a supervisor of the country, she led the army south to reject Beicheng, while she personally sat in Xijing to pacify the people.

    Beimang is bound to win this battle!

    Probably the silence of Beiliang's rejection of Beicheng further encouraged the unruliness of the generals on the grassland. In addition, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who personally led the expedition, did not give any orders to restrain his generals. He led the elite cavalry out of the camp and wandered around, as if he had become a general of the Southern Dynasty's frontier army.  According to the unwritten rules of the Beiting of the grassland, it seems that it would be a cowardly act not to go to the head of the North City.  At first, some people ignored those silent and ferocious large bed crossbows, and even the ordinary city-defending foot bows were regarded as nothing. They risked their lives and rode their horses forward, wishing that they could not gallop their horses to the top of the city.  The young generals were clad in gold and silver armor, dazzling under the setting sun.  For these powerful youths from the prairie who were transferred from cowardly guards to centurions or even thousands of captains at a young age, they have grown tired of hearing about the self-reliant Liyang frontier army since they were young, and their ears have become calloused.  They even slandered a lot. They felt that the people that His Majesty valued in the Southern Dynasties, except for Fatty Dong, were quite capable. Huang Songpu, Yang Yuanzan, Liu Gui and other old men were really not worth mentioning. If His Majesty had not welcomed Hong Jia to the North,  Those bereaved dogs who ran to the grasslands to seek refuge in order to survive inexplicably made a covenant with the southerners to govern the southerners. How can old guys like Huang Songpu and others with false reputations become generals?

    After leaving the camp, two riders did not go straight to Jubei City, but rode slowly along the outside of the camp. Both of them were young people. It was ordinary to wear armor and swords, but one of them had a  A Xianbei buckle jade belt allowed the two of them to travel unimpeded. This young man was Yelu Dongfang, a member of the Beimang royal tent. Beimang Xianbei buckles were also divided into high and low ones, according to the number of gems inlaid on the jade belt. Most of the children of the two surnames Yelu Murong  Two or three can be inlaid, and then increase according to the size of military achievements. Murong Baoding, a relative of the emperor who held a high position and held military power, or Yelu Hongcai, the minister of Gu Ming of the three dynasties, Yelu Dongtang's grandfather, can inlaid eight.  There were originally only six Xianbei buckles on the east bed. After he was appointed as the general of the country and the minister of the Xijing Ministry of War, he added a huge cat's eye stone to one of the four military towns including the Junzi Hall Tile Building. He was supposed to stay there.  Xijing Temple, or at the border of Gusai Prefecture, one of the four military towns, but this time he made an exception and came to Jubei City with the army. Both the young knight and the young knight beside him were serving as military supervisors on the middle road, with high positions but no heavy power. It was the icing on the cake.  That¡¯s all.

    Yelu Dongfeng was short in stature and had dark skin, but he was full of a fierce aura like a prairie wolf. He turned around and smiled at the young man walking beside him: "Tuoba's aura is great, but you and I can only stare, unable to hold it back."  Frustrated?"

    The other young man is Tuoba Qiyun, the eldest son of Tuoba Bodhisattva, the god of the Beimang army. Spring Nabo is the first among the four major Nabos in the grassland, Bixia Nabo Zhongtan, Autumn Nabo Duanboerhui and Dong  Nabo, Wang Jingchong, and the other three all have more profound backgrounds. Originally, Zhongtan was the most promising. Not only had he experienced the first Liangmang battle, but he also had impressive military exploits in the two cities of Wo Gong and Heluan in Youzhou. As long as he succeeded,  Recruiting the Buddhist forces from Mount Landuo in the Western Regions was a sure thing to rise to prominence in the Southern Dynasties. In addition, the family had a rich heritage, and his father's magical powers made him one of the fourteen generals in Beimang.For one, Zhong Tan is even expected to become the next general Dong Zhuo who does not have the name of a vassal king but has the actual status of a vassal king. On the future Chinese version of the map, it is not an extravagant hope to have one surname and two vassal kings.  Now that Zhong Tan is missing in the Western Regions and his life and death are unknown, Chun Na Bo Tuo Ba Qiyun has lost another natural rival.

    Tuoba Qiyun said calmly: "With the status of your and my father's family, as long as we capture Jubei City, even if we are napping on horseback from beginning to end, why worry about not having military merit and running to the bag by ourselves."

    Yelu Dongfang frowned and said, "Listening to Chun Nabo's tone, do you think there are any variables in conquering Jubei City?"

    Tuoba Qiyun hesitated for a moment, then turned to look sideways at the tall and majestic city through the afterglow of the setting sun, "It may not be a good thing to force the main force of Beiliang to dismount and fight."

    Yelu Dongtang laughed loudly: "You scholars have a lot of knowledge, but if you are not good at it, you like to be afraid of this and that, but there will always be a battle."

    Tuoba Qiyun laughed it off and said, "Celebrities from the Central Plains like to talk about chess with their hands. Among them, Golden Horn Silver Border Grass Belly said that in the previous third-line war, Beiliang only won a big victory at Hulukou, Youzhou, which made Dong Zhuo's middle army regretfully retreat north, which is proof of this.  .¡±

    Yelu Dongtong twisted his wrist and waved his horsewhip lightly, "Now we have suffered another big defeat in Laowo Mountain. Even the 50,000 elite cavalrymen of the Southern Dynasty frontier army who went to reinforce have been made dumplings. Could it be that we are going to repeat the same mistake?"

    Tuoba Qiyun shook his head and said: "On the contrary, we should go south to attack Jubei City. This was actually the Taiping Order's intention. They wanted to trade south to Xijing in exchange for Jubei City. Those Spring and Autumn survivors who fled from the Central Plains to the grassland took root and grew after twenty years.  After that, it gradually gained a foothold, and it seemed that it was almost impossible to lose. In fact, His Majesty the Emperor was not unconcerned about this. Throughout the four major states of the Southern Dynasties, civil servants were so intertwined that even the wealthy Longguan nobles, who had always been extremely xenophobic, had to lower their guard.  Only by marrying with them can they consolidate their position. This fully shows the great influence of those Central Plains nobles. In the long run, the survivors of the Southern Dynasties will probably change their swords into swords. Although there is still a sharp edge that can hurt people, one edge will have to be careless.  It will hurt yourself.¡±

    Yelu Dongtong grinned, like a wild wolf baring his teeth, which was particularly sinister and sinister. "In this case, as long as Beiliang has the courage to use the main force of Liangzhou field battles in Qingyuan area to rush to Liuzhou, we might as well let them invade the hinterland of the Southern Dynasties with overwhelming force.  , anyway, those who died were soldiers and horses who were inextricably linked to the survivors of the Spring and Autumn Period. They should be used to help eliminate some hidden dangers in our grassland. If you kill them by mistake, you can kill them by mistake. Just let them go. In the end, the temples in Xijing will become clean.  It's like the Northern Liang Cavalry has become the executioner for His Majesty the Emperor, and it can also ensure that there are fewer variables in the vast battlefield outside Liangzhou Pass, the best of both worlds. The Taiping Order is really cruel."

    Tuoba Qiyun sighed in a low voice: "Maybe I learned this technique from the people in the Central Plains."

    Yelu Dongtong curled his lips, "When we take over the Central Plains from now on, I will definitely make those scholars suffer a lot and teach them to sweep the floor politely!"

    The Chun Na Bo did not answer, but just glanced at the majestic and silent outline of Jubei City. It was like the mainstay standing before the flood of the prairie cavalry. It quietly condensed the 800-year-old spirit of the Central Plains.

    ¡ª¡ª

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Within the siege of Beimang and Xijing, an old woman with a stooped figure was walking under the wall, her slow and slow steps just on the line between the afterglow of the setting sun and the rich shadows.

    The old woman was silently followed by the Taiping Order of Qi Jian Yue Mansion, an old man who aspired not to a northwestern city but to Tai'an City in the Central Plains.

    The old man suddenly said: "Why didn't Your Majesty let Yelu Dongtang stay in Gusai Prefecture to resist the Liuzhou cavalry? Dong Nabo Wang Jingchong brought back 10,000 cavalry from the Liyang and Liao border lines, which was enough to fight Yu Luan before the defeat at Laonu Mountain.  Dao's Youzhou cavalry was circling around, but now it is inevitable that they are beyond their capabilities. Although the collapse of the Southern Dynasty did not affect the overall situation, after all, His Majesty felt a little regretful in his face. The older generation of Hongjia survivors, even if they withdraw from officialdom,  But there are many smart people who may feel wary because of this.¡±

    The old woman who was not supported staggered forward and said indifferently: "I heard from Li Mibi that Wang Du has been keeping to himself for twenty years. Recently, I don't know whether it is to return to his glory or to seek for his descendants. He has secretly interacted with many important people. He is not afraid of ten thousand.  I'm afraid that if anything happens, little Wang Jingchong, let him sacrifice his life for the country. Anyway, I will give him a dozen Xianbei buckles when the time comes. What's the harm in giving Wang Du a great posthumous title? Wang Du is still alive today.  Compared with the younger generation of Spring and Autumn remnants, the older generation of Spring and Autumn remnants are actually considered to be thieves if they are too old to die. At that time, I had paid great attention to their subtle influence on the officialdom of the Southern Dynasties, but unexpectedly, I was still unable to stop their infiltration. I took them in with good intentions.  I gave them a bowl of rice to die for, but they left me with such a mess!"

    The old woman's tone became increasingly serious, and she spoke harshly: "My prairie cavalry has been fighting in the south and north for hundreds of years. Since the beginning of Dafeng, we have been invincible. This is because we focus on killing the enemy. If we have selfish desires, it will be after the war when we are dividing the results.  How has it ever been like the peace and tranquility of Hulukou in Youzhou?Is it like this in Lao Nuo Mountain in Yuzhou? They all had their own plans before the war, and were blinded by selfish motives?  !  If it weren't for the Longguan tycoon who was lucky enough to have Wanyan Yinjiang, I would have used the Liuzhou cavalry to help the Southern Dynasty scrape away the pus this time, and the Wanyan family, as well as the Longguan borers that have grown on the grasslands for generations, would have been  , don¡¯t let anyone go!  Damn it!  Should be killed!  "

    Tai Ping Ling sighed softly.

    The agitated old woman slowly calmed down her emotions and squinted at the bright and dark line at her feet, which was like the border between two countries, or like the separation between yin and yang.

    The old woman said slowly: "Whether it's Yelu Dongfang who has a good grandfather to help him make suggestions, my cousin Murong Baoding who believes in killing people if they don't do it for themselves, and even the general with magical powers, they are all wolfish ambitions. Look,  Although the city is deep and deep, in my eyes, none of them are as smart as Dong Zhuo. Only the fat-mouthed Dong Zhuo can afford to take it down the most. No one is willing to fight at Huaiyang Pass, which is so dangerous. It has little military merit, and even if it is defeated,  , only Chu Lushan¡¯s head can be put on the table. By then, the muscles and bones will definitely be broken, and at least hundreds of thousands of people will be killed or injured. In this case, even if I agree to be crowned a prince based on military merit, ordinary people will not be able to sit down without the soldiers and horses under my command.  To secure that position, Murong Baoding was asked to go to Huaiyang Pass earlier. This Orange State official is as good as his dead parents. The lion opened his mouth and asked me for so many Rouran cavalry in vain. He still felt that it was not enough, so he thought  He only wants to work but doesn't contribute to the overall situation. He clearly knows the importance of it, but he just doesn't want to take care of it. It's extremely hateful!"

    The old woman sneered and said: "As long as Dong Zhuo can take Huaiyang Pass, even if he cannot participate in the attack on Jubei City, I will give him a South Campus King and let him lead the army into Beiliang Pass."

    Taiping Ling frowned and said: "That is Chen Zhibao, who was granted the title of King of Liyang and became a vassal in Western Shu. Letting the tiger return to the mountain will be a huge disaster."

    The old woman smiled softly and said: "A legacy? I don't even have a few days left to live, so I still care whether the white-eyed wolves named Yelu Murong are dead or alive?"

    The Taiping Order remained silent.

    The old woman consoled her: "Sir, as long as the horse hooves of the prairie cavalry step on Tai'an City, Guangling Road, and the southernmost land of the Central Plains, you and I will never be forgotten in the history of history. As for the final dragon chair."  Who is coming to sit down? Does it matter if his surname is Yelu, Murong, or Dong?"

    The Taiping Order smiled bitterly and said: "If we can unify the world, then it will be a good thing if fewer people die."

    The old woman laughed loudly and waved her sleeves, "Then you will have to live for a few more years!"

    Emperor Beimang¡¯s master stopped where he was, his figure bleak.

    The old woman walked forward alone with her hands, the afterglow gradually disappearing under her feet.

    In the darkness, the old woman murmured to herself, "Maybe I won't be able to see the heavy snow in your hometown in Jinzhou, Liaodong next year. You said, if I didn't return to my hometown back then, but stayed with you, now I don't  A house full of descendants?"

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    It was almost dawn, but in the vassal residence of Jubei City, in the back hall of the house, there was a bright candlelight in a house.

    A cold knife was placed on the table, and a young man began to put on the lord's python robe silently.

    Outside the house, there was a young woman dressed in plain clothes, holding a red sandalwood sword box, with a determined look on her face. She was quietly waiting for him to go out.

    In the same mansion, Xue Songguan, who had not slept all night, slowly sat up, put on his boots, picked up the guqin, and gently opened the door.

    Yu Xingrui, a veteran of Wudang Mountain, just finished practicing the boxing technique created by his younger brother Hong Xixiang in the small courtyard. He felt refreshed and left the courtyard with his sword behind his back.

    An old man in white clothes, white hair and white eyebrows was sitting on a stone bench. The sword box was wide open on the table. The old man held the sword in one hand. His two fingers shattered the sword inch by inch. He gently threw it into his mouth, like chewing soybeans. The old man threw it away.  Only the hilt of the sword was left. He glanced at the empty sword box, stood up slowly, and smiled.  With a hundred years of sword energy filling my stomach, it¡¯s time to let it out.

    On the stone steps of a small courtyard, the young swordsman who was the contemporary sword crown of the Wu Family Sword Tomb squatted there, stood up suddenly, and turned his head to look at the sword attendant Cuihua who had an ancient sword Su Wang on his back. The latter opened it for the first time.  Her eyes smiled brightly at him.

    There was a small courtyard. Two brothers from Emperor Wu City walked out of the room at the same time. The eldest disciple Wang Xianzhi of Yushu Linfeng took off a cold knife from his waist and threw it high to the other person. The latter also smiled and handed yesterday to his hand.  Shudao Fuji's two famous swords were thrown to his senior brother.  two people

    ¡°One person is hanging a cold knife and the other is hanging a famous sword. Their movements are exactly the same. Finally, each of them hangs their sword and strides out of the yard side by side.

    After going out, a middle-aged man in white cloth leggings turned around and waved to his Miao daughter-in-law who was standing at the door. She smiled and gave him a thumbs-up.

    In the same elegant and quiet courtyard, an old Confucian scholar put down the sage book in his hand and stood up from his clothes.  The old swordsman sitting aside raised his glass and drank half of the wine, then poured the wine on the unsheathed sword.  house??, the burly old man stood with his sword in his arms, eyes closed, waiting for his two old friends.

    In front of the meeting hall of the vassal residence in Jubeicheng, under the wooden archway, someone was holding an iron spear at an angle, and beside him stood the sect master of Dongyue Jianchi.

    In a place in Juibei City, a woman in purple squatted down and tied the hem of her skirt into a small knot.

    At the south end of Juibei City, a plain-looking middle-aged swordsman sat cross-legged, sword across his knees, looking into the distance, as if waiting for the sun to rise over the East China Sea.

    Not far from the city, there stood a man in white, drinking alcohol with his head thrown back. The woman in red robe next to him had a peaceful look on his face.

    After the young vassal king put on the python robe, put on the cold knife, when he was about to open the door, he paused for a moment, and then suddenly opened it.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Beimang's army is about to attack the city, and they are just waiting for daybreak.

    A horse suddenly rushed out. The Beimang captain rode his horse to less than a hundred steps away from the city wall. He laughed wildly and said: "Bullshit Beiliang cavalry is the best in the world! No one dares to go out of the city to fight?!"
