Chapter Forty-Eight: A Moonlit Night
The vitality of Beihu was greatly injured in this battle, the royal capital was burned to ruins, ten rooms and nine empty, the people were displaced, and the descendants were reproduced and broken.
Old man Mu was even more exhausted, and Luomazhou's attack on the mind caused the morale of the army to fluctuate, and improper handling was a mutiny, especially the atmosphere of the big tribes such as Wutan and Duoyan was weird.
The two beloved disciples he desperately wanted to protect, one was seriously injured and dying unconscious, and the other was completely unheard of, and his life and death were uncertain. If it weren't for the reply from the Patriarch Hall, although the Huan Tan Soul Lamp was dim and fluttering, it was never extinguished, and the old man would have led the 20 armies to burn the jade with the divine light.
Attacking the heart first, especially the 10,000 cold human heads hanging in Lok Ma Chau, instantly crushed the morale of the Beihu army, and there were people who vomited blood and fell off their horses on the spot, and there were more night cryers in the military tents stationed there, and the sadness was spreading in the contagion.
Most of these 10,000 heads are the families of the Dragoons of the King's Tent, there are fathers and sons, brothers, and old friends, where are they hanging alone, the frightened and unwilling eyes are heartbreaking, as if asking over and over again, why are the kings of the rear being captured? Why put your wife and children in danger?
The two countries are at war, and human lives are like a scrappy rush. Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer.
"Divine light blesses, I, Yelu Xu, and you don't share the sky."
"Ah............h
"My Guyan tribe swears to skin you and cramp you, break your bones and scatter ashes to light the sky lantern."
"The Murwei clan fought to the death with the divine light."
"Ah............h
"The Wuhuan Department and the Divine Light Dynasty will never die."
Fifty thousand soldiers cursed in unison, and the sound of resentment moved into the sky, blasting away the flowing clouds in the sky.
"Take off the heads of your family members and take them home." Jeruth dismounted himself, stumbled to the high ground and took down his father and brother's head.
Ci is not in charge of the army, King Pingkang's desperate plan can be described as vicious, even if Emperor Jialong first heard the battle report, he was happy, but also a little contemplative.
Pang Yan heard that King Pingkang acted like this, vomited blood that night, and smiled helplessly: "Cause and effect Pang is bearing, and you should ride the wind and waves." ”
When they knew that their wives and children had been taken captive and taken to the Shenguang Dynasty, many bloody men could no longer hold back their cries, and even more angry people vomited blood, fainted in anger, and fell off their horses.
After a hundred years of entanglement and fighting, initially forced by survival, and then fought for the unification of the Central Plains, but after this battle, the seeds of hatred between the people of the two ethnic groups have been planted, and there is no room for relaxation.
"Jiang Yunlang, I will give you 50,000 border troops, and take 3,000 skilled craftsmen in Jiatong Pass to Shuofang City, and tell Zhu'er that in the next ten years, Shuofang City will be built into another Jiatong Pass, and I want the two cities to be firmly inserted in the north like horns and sharp knives." Emperor Jialong reclined on the couch and looked at Jiang Yunlang who was kneeling on the ground and ordered.
Jiang family Yunlang also escaped death, the arrow in his left eye at the northern foot of Kuiyin Mountain, fainted in pain, but escaped a catastrophe, and now he was promoted to the left waiter because of the blessing of disaster, and the Jiang family breathed a sigh of relief.
The arrow stays in the eye socket for a long time, compresses the large acupoint in the skull, often has an unbearable headache in the middle of the night, and waits until it is withdrawn to Jiatong Pass before asking the imperial doctor to take it out.
Jiang Yunlang's pride provoked the love of Taikang and the other boudoir women, and the people who proposed the relatives broke through the threshold of Jiangfu, but they were all rejected by the old lady one by one, and said that they had intended to be someone, and after the class teacher returned to the court, he would organize a big wedding for the two. One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the ladies and relatives of all the provinces in Taikang City were scrambling to discuss, whose girl could enter the eyes of the Jiang family's Yushu. Of course, Cui Yun is no exception, and he is even more resentful of this Jiang family wood, and Cui Shangshu and his wife are funny and sad when they see it, which is really a big girl.
The Northern Expedition of the Ministry of War Yamen was the most miserable, the main general was lame, the whereabouts of King Zekang were unknown, Liu Fangjingda, Lu Xiangsheng and other deputy generals died in battle, and the Wuxuan Qing Officials Division was less than three percent left, not to mention the sons of the family who came to die later, this group of sons and second ancestors did not catch up with the hot ones, and the entire Yamen became a crippled gathering place of the Shenguang Dynasty, which can be called the most tragic. ”
But no one in Taikang City dared to laugh at it, and no one dared to ask for it. Not tolerating sand in their eyes is the bottom line of Liu Zhilun and Jiang Yunlang, the two chief officials have not been less than blowing their beards and glaring at others for the sake of the yamen's salary, not to mention the Beijing gateway where some dumb people can't say that they are bitter about eating Coptis chinensis, and they can make military achievements, but they have to fight for their lives, and the military department is a yamen that fights for their lives, and if they don't accept it, they will do it, but they are destined to be the most powerful yamen in the next few decades.
"The subordinates receive the order, pack up, and set off immediately." Jiang Yunlang stood up, his body was like an abyss, and he was deep and heavy.
Emperor Jialong, who was watching, couldn't help but bow his head, although he hadn't seen Youqi, Youyin and others yet, but he was satisfied in his heart, and Yao Yu was also smiling slightly,
"Yun Lang is not in a hurry, three thousand craftsmen and a pair of materials still need time to prepare, you should take care of your injuries first."
"Congratulations to the saint, the harvest of this battle is far more than these yellow and white things, there are successors to my Shenguang Dynasty in the Northern Expedition training, Liu Zhilun and King Pingkang are handsome talents that are rare to see in a hundred years, King Zekang, Cui Hanzhang, Jiang Yunlang, Dong Baqian and others are also reborn, and the destruction of Beihu is just around the corner."
Yao Yu's words did speak to Emperor Jialong's heart, the king of a country attaches the most importance to the orderly inheritance, and now it will emerge and shine in China, which is really the blessing of the community.
"Chengping for a hundred years, my divine light has not lost the legacy of the ancestors, this battle is worthy of the ancestors, a little tempering, it is time for them to shoulder the burden." Emperor Jialong stroked his beard, and the two monarchs and ministers looked at each other and smiled.
"How's the situation with Youyin?"
"The emperor doesn't have to worry, Dong Baozhen of Hejian Mansion reported that someone had found traces of the prince in the area between Pilun and Hejian. I'm sure I'll find it soon. "Licking calves affectionately, the hearts of parents in the world, has nothing to do with the emperor and general.
"Youyin should endure hardships, his eldest brother hunted with me at the age of five, this kid is bookish, I hope he can be reborn." Emperor Jialong coughed severely, but his love was beyond words.
"Daguan this baby, I look very good." Emperor Jialong's understatement made Yao Yu kneel and bow down.
"When Jiatong Pass and Shuofang City stabilize the situation and let Daguan Town guard the southwest, it's time to take care of the ghost side." The saint said lightly, Chrysostom Yuyan made Yao Yu have a special taste in his heart, and the emperor's heart was unpredictable.
Lou Yueshan has no children under his knees, and he is very attentive to the three disciples, and now he is dead, injured and far away, he can't sit still.
In the small courtyard of Cui's house in Qianyanzhou, he was angry like thunder, and Cui Hanzhang was also the first time to see the master of the building so out of shape.
"The Zhao family is all bastards, the more you get, the more you owe me."
Lou Yueshan's resentment accumulated for thirty years is too heavy, the disciple is dead, the wound is injured, and the root of his hatred is itching.
"Master Lou, you dissipate your anger, everything is fate, didn't I come back well?" Cui Hanzhang didn't know about the grievances and grievances between the Knowles and the Zhao family, so he could only be relieved.
"You rabbit cub was stabbed out of the heart by the Hu people, what's wrong? His old Zhao family is worthy of you to be so desperate? Do you know that Jia Long is training like this, most of them will refine you, if his son Youyin finishes his calf, I see how he should face the Yunlin Jiang clan. Lou Yue jumped up directly from the futon and pointed to Hanzhang's nose.
"The disciple knows that he is wrong, and the master of the building drinks a cup of tea to dissipate his anger." Cui Hanzhang is reincarnated, and the experience of his previous life has not lived to the pig, so he instantly grasped the bit of information.
Everything is seen and you know the whole picture, if you don't want to see the leopard, you have to see it up and down, from top to bottom is the family style and national style, from the bottom to the top will be closer to the truth and the truth, the two add up, like the two ends of a vein, once they are clarified and picked up, let you lie down for thousands of miles, it is difficult to escape the eyes of the law.
But all living beings are rolling in the red dust, even if they are a little sober, it is rare to anesthetize themselves in confusion, whether it is to cultivate the mind and cultivate strength, to jump out of all kinds of implications in the world, drunk and dreaming, dead and alive, in the end it is still a piece of loess.
"In the past six months, you have honestly recuperated my injuries, and I will return to Taikang after reading the "Biography" thoroughly."
The hatred is deep, the love is keen, the more fierce the old man scolds, the deeper the concern, the happier Cui Hanzhang is, and the beloved son of his parents has far-reaching plans, which is used on this pair of teachers and students, which is very suitable.
"After going through life and death, I know how good it is to be alive." Cui Hanzhang's face was gloomy, and he muttered to himself.
"Mingwei's child is also miserable, so you have accompanied her for a while." Lou Yueshan stood in front of the window and whispered.
"This battle has won at least 20 years of development time for the old Zhao family, Beihu has planted such a big heel, ten years of bombing all parts of the grassland, and ten years of recuperation. Among you children, now you are the fastest, although it is earned by real swords and guns on the battlefield, but Mu Xiu will destroy it in the forest wind. ”
Lou Yueshan analyzed the news brought by Taikang City with him one by one, and Beihu Bingsheng actually concentrated his superior forces to gamble with the emperor, and won the bet, which could not help but surprise Cui Hanzhang.
"It is rumored that Murong Yanran, the embroidered fox over there, is not dead, although I don't know whether it is true or not, but there are already doubts in the army, who made you jump all the way so fast, how long has it been, even jumping, you will be promoted to the military department Sima, the commander of the ranger army is a position that tens of millions of people are staring at, you and Li Qingshan are both new faces."
Although Lou Yueshan was unforgiving, he still smiled like a flower on his face, his face was wrinkled, and it was full of ravines and potholes.
"The foundation is not strong, and the promotion is too fast, it is indeed troublesome to make a big move, I, the commander of the rangers, I am afraid that he was roasted on the fire, and the disciple thought that he would simply go to the book to mourn his wife for a year, let them toss it." Cui Hanzhang was calm, and after hearing the outcome of the Northern Expedition, a sense of crisis came to his heart.
"I'm afraid that the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, in the ancestral graves of the wealthy families in the capital, the coffin board of the ancestors is almost unbearable, and now they are holding back a belly of fire and have nowhere to go, and they are almost about to cut off their children and grandchildren. They deserve to steal chickens and rice. Lou Yueshan looked gloating.
"To be serious, Beihu was injured deep enough this time, and it was completely on, an old man Mu buried in the loess on his neck and the crazy woman of Beihu who even killed his own children, the two of them were really reckless, Beihu moved the capital to Youyun City, this is the courage of the Son of Heaven to guard the country, and the king dies."
"Is the Holy Army a teacher?" Cui Hanzhang was shocked when he heard the news, Youyun City is large-scale, the city is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the sinicization is the most mature, and the twelve states of Youyun have gradually become integrated, and the north and south are deep and vast, which is indeed more suitable for development than the Golden Horde.
"In this way, Beihu is going to abandon the nomadic and migratory mode of production and prepare to spend a long time with our dynasty."
"Let's go with the flow, the saint won't be able to leave for a while. King Pingkang's fire burned the Golden Horde's court, and also played a trick to kill the household, the size of the king and a few iron hats rarely agreed, the wife and children became captives, all mourned in the middle of the night, and simply did not go back. Old man Mu's kung fu is old. "Even if he is as smart as Lou Yueshan, he is quite appreciative of Beihu Bingsheng's ability to control the overall situation.
"This game of chess is so big, the Holy Shang and the Beihu Bingsheng are now a reopening game, a strong national strength, a cohesive people's heart, a complete confrontation with horses and artillery, one Jiatong Pass may not be enough." Although Cui Hanzhang is far away from the front line, he has his own hills and valleys in his chest, and the situation map of the northern border is engraved in his mind like an imprint.
"Your worries are not unreasonable, this is not the great expansion of Shuofang City in full swing. King Pingkang has plundered the population and materials of the capital of Beihu Wangdu, coupled with the support of Jiatong Pass, Shuofang City is bound to stand with Jiatong Pass and Youyun City. Lou Yueshan grasped the whole situation more accurately, and he picked up the line of divine light from the end of the line, and the whole context was naturally understood.
"In this way, King Pingkang will also be stationed in the north, and after the naturalization of the Motuo tribe, it will play a role as a trestle between Shuofang and Jiatong Pass, and it will also prevent the raid and invasion of Beihu in the future." Cui Hanzhang continued to analyze the context of Lou Yue Mountain, and the two masters and apprentices deduced the situation in the north as if they had experienced it personally.
People are not as good as the sky, and plans can't catch up with changes. When the two of them analyzed along the context, they never thought that the holy ghost of the Northern Hu soldiers would plan a change, and personally led the army to detour through Kuiyin Mountain to seize the city of Pilun, and at the same time opened up the southern foot of Kuiyin Mountain and Pilun, and expanded the city vigorously, turning the southern foot of Kuiyin Mountain into a natural horse farm.
The original strategic policy of the embroidered fox Murong Yanran is still fully implemented, and the scale and intention are even grander, and the Beihu royal court has moved to the twelve states of Youyun, and at this time, it is advancing with the power of the empire.
If the conspiracy failed, he came to Yang to rob him.
Youyun City is the strategic core, and Pilun City is the springboard to the south. Although the Shenguang side organized many counterattacks, hoping to recapture Pilun, but all the soldiers were lost and returned in vain, it is said that the Bingzu Valley poured out, and participated in the transformation of Pilun City throughout the process, this military branch has penetrated into all aspects of Beihu, running like a precision machine, at this time, although the city of Pilun is not impregnable, but the army of the old man Mu is stable.
This confrontation situation gave Emperor Jialong a headache in Jiatong Pass, and there was a lot of debate about who to send to Hejian Mansion.
"It is said that Bingzu Valley is a branch, but I haven't seen the authentic ancestral court, the thousand-year-old military Taoist system should not be to avoid the northern border and support the dragon Huyi." Lou Yueshan suddenly changed his words, mentioning this Bingzu Valley, it seems that Taikang City has already sorted out the context of the Beihu Bingsheng who has surfaced.
"The disciple had met General Li Qingshan in the Ranger Army, and this person had endless skills, smelling the soil and patrolling the road, watching the wind and catching shadows, and being proficient in all kinds of military tricks, the disciple could feel that he always had something to hide, but he was always unexpected. There are faint rumors in the army that Li Qingshan is a disciple of the ancestral court of the soldier Wudang Mountain. When Cui Hanzhang heard the words of his master Lou Yueshan, he remembered the bearded Li Qingshan.
"I know the person you are talking about, if he doesn't die, he is indeed a big material, but now it is rumored that he died with the Beihu general Huan Tan, and he can't even find a corpse."
"Master, you are inquiring about it, I am very well-informed, I always think that Li Qingshan will not die, with his life-loving personality, I believe in Huan Tan, if he is also dead, I don't believe it."
Cui Hanzhang and Master Lou chatted carefully about Li Qingshan, whether it was the vast magic power when he was a ranger captain, or the conspiracy when he led the ranger army, and even fought with him, inspiring Cui Hanzhang to sort out the true meaning of the kiln handle, it was unbelievable that such a strange man would die early.
"According to what you said, he reminds me of the military advisor Dongliang next to the king of Yanbei back then, this person has no power but is scheming, everything, once played against the seven staff of Taizu, and forced the other party to sue for peace, if it weren't for the later military division Dongliang was framed and disappeared inexplicably, I am afraid that it is a high probability that the king of Yanbei will drink the Ma Long Yuan River. There were also rumors in later generations that the military advisor Dongliang was a disciple of Wudang Mountain, and he failed to return to the ancestral court until his death. Lou Yueshan turned over the old yellow calendar and mentioned the story of Shenguang Taizu and King Yanbei competing for hegemony in the Central Plains a hundred years ago.
"Li Qingshan's martial arts are extraordinary, and I have no power to fight back when I was beaten with the Five Elements Punch, especially the trick of planting golden lotus in the fire, which makes people fall into the oven, calcining the heart, and if you can't survive it, your mind will be destroyed. Looking back now, if it weren't for the oppression and persecution in the ranger camp when he fed the box, the apprentice's kiln handle style would still be an embroidered pillow and a bag of grass. Speaking of the mess that was cleaned up by Li Qingshan, Cui Hanzhang was also calm, not to mention that they were all friends who had changed their lives, and they could trust each other.
"Whenever there are troubled times, the world's qi is disordered, and the monks on the mountain can't practice with peace of mind, and they will go down the mountain to help the dragon in line with the general trend, and strive for a piece of luck. However, in the past year, Tianxin Temple has produced a Yin and Yang Mr. Pang Yan, this person is now famous in Taikang, can pinch and calculate, all should be fulfilled, and all officials and nobles have a request, all go to Tianxin Temple. The two chatted, and before they knew it, the sun was setting, the country dog barked, and the twilight was heavy and pervasive.
"The two families of Han and Hu, three moonlit nights."
After Cui Hanzhang saw the master leave, he leaned on the window and looked out alone, the lights at the foot of the mountain were lit, dotted on the winding stream, the moonlight was very beautiful, but there were fewer people to admire the moon together.
Mountains and rivers have never changed, and things are not people. Cui Hanzhang went out for a big circle, charged into battle and killed many people, and escaped from death in joy and sorrow, and returned to Xikou Qianyanzhou alone.
