Chapter 76: The Gray-robed Man
Without Lu Gradual, Lu Rong was embarrassed to hide in the car every day to enjoy Qingfu, but fortunately, Wu's back typhoid fever had gradually recovered, and he was dragged by His Royal Highness the Prince to ride a horse together.
Although the sudden change in Wuliang Habu is not a major symptom at present, it also adds a serious color to Lu Rong Wubei's originally comfortable mood before.
Although Lu Rong, who was just a small soldier before, participated in the tragic battle of last autumn hunt, the extreme lack of information made him unconsciously focus on the gains and losses of one city and one place. At this moment, when I learned about the affairs of Liaoxi, I suddenly realized the battlefield killing, which affected the overall pattern of the whole body.
After all, before the age of twenty, he was just an ordinary child from a poor family, even if he read more books than ordinary people, he couldn't help but be narrow-minded without training.
Wu put his hands in his sleeves, looking at the back image of a poor farmer, his body also bumping up and down with the horses walking, this Tianzhong genius who won Wang Xuance's appreciation is well aware of the war at the border of Youzhou, and at this moment there is a melancholy on the front of the story: "The territory of Youzhou is narrow and long, and the 100,000 Yan army seems to be a lot, but it is a drop in the bucket to sprinkle on the border line that stretches for thousands of miles." What's more, from the beginning to the end, the Yan army has been under the enemy because of the Xuanfu position in the hinterland of Datong, so it has invested a lot of troops there, and it has not lost an inch of land for more than 80 years. However, a few years ago, there were people in the court who wanted to abandon it because of the sinister advice of the Xuanfu, and built several forts to shrink the front with Juyong Pass as a base, but in the end, they were strongly opposed by King Yan and several powerful generals in the court, so they also gave up, and only left the matter of building forts outside Juyong Pass on the agenda. If this time the Wuliang Habu really has a different intention to throw himself into the Northern Barbarians, then the land of Liaoxi will not be safe, and the pressure on Youzhou will double, I am afraid that such remarks will appear again. ”
"Rat-eyed!" Lu Rong was half a horse ahead, and he walked first, and more than 100 guards of the Xuansoap Army were arranged by him behind the Qiao Mansion convoy, leaving only Yuan Gong and a few other soldiers to follow, and he snorted coldly when he heard Wu Bei's words, "No matter what, Xuanfu can't abandon it, that's right, Xuanfu is deep behind the enemy and suffers from the enemy, but looking at it in another direction, why isn't Datong Mansion also besieged by Qinchuan Taiyuan Xuanfu on three sides?" ”
The military is one thing, and the people's livelihood is an important part, when he fled before, Lu Rong saw with his own eyes that the people lived like puppets under the high-pressure rule of the barbarians in the land where Datong fell, and they were afraid to speak, how could they agree with Xuanfu's retreat without a fight?
Nearly a hundred years of rule have never allowed the barbarians to truly regard Datong Hanmin as their own people, let alone the iron-clad Xuanfu, a land of long-term war? Taking 10,000 steps back, even if all the people can be moved into Shuntian Mansion, but the Youzhou border army, a division of a hundred battles, cannot defend the country but displaces the people, so what is it worthy of being called the Yan Army.
Wu Bei nodded approvingly, and continued: "So in my opinion, although the theory of abandoning Xuanfu will take advantage of the situation, it will most likely end up with the previous one, this strategy is too negative, and Tianjing can't help but care about the mouth of the world, but it's just ......"
"Just what?" Lu Rong asked.
Wu Bei pondered the words for a while, and said slowly: "It is said that Feng Suqing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, once advised that a new Liaoxi Town Fu Division should be set up in Yongping Mansion in Liaoxi in the northeast of Youzhou, and that the food and soldiers should be under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou, which is across the sea, and the personnel department will be directly appointed and dismissed by the Ministry of War, and will be responsible for the defense tasks of Wuliangha and other departments, and the power is equivalent to a small capital to protect the house, although this move can reduce the pressure on the northeast front of Youzhou, but also"
"But it is equivalent to putting a nail in the back of Youzhou, after all, only Qingyang and Yangzhou in the coastal area of the Dazhong Dynasty have shipyards that can build sea ships." Lu Rong instantly understood, and said first.
"That's right."
Originally, in the early days of the Dazhong Dynasty, only Yangzhou could build sea ships, the scale was not large, and the sea ships built were mostly used to defend Tianjing, or to do honor guards. Because of this at that time, there were only two weak vassal states outside the East China Sea, Korea and the Wa Kingdom, and they paid tribute every year to the court. Later, the imperial court set up a shipyard in the land of Qingzhou, perhaps in addition to the convenience of crossing the Bohai Sea north in the land of Qingzhou, of course, there is no other meaning in this, and the discerning person will know it at a glance.
You must know that although there are natural dangers of the Great Wall in the west and north of Youzhou, there is a flat river on the southeast side.
"What's it called? Do you want the horse to run and the horse not to eat grass? Lu Rong sneered. Since he was a child, he and Lizi have been rampant and domineering in Anxin County, and what he hates most is to be used.
"Prevention is better than prevention, everyone in the world knows that the Son of Heaven has the heart to cut the domain, if there is another King of Qin who has a big tail at this moment, it is really difficult to say that the Tang family has a big tail." Wu Bei did not shy away from the surname Tang in front of Lu Rong, and his words were not so scruples.
It's also funny, these two people seem to have forgotten that Lu Rong should actually be surnamed Tang.
"It's hard to be far away." Lu Rong let out a long sigh, as if he also sighed for the heavy responsibility on his shoulders in the future.
Wu Bei also sighed lightly, and said lightly: "It's difficult to be the king of Yan, among the three vassal kings of Dazhong, the king of Qin is the largest, the king of Yan is second, and the king of Li is again, but if you say who has the most trust of the Son of Heaven, it is just the opposite, and a delicate balance is formed between the three, and the only unstable factor is the Northern Barbarian." In recent years, the Northern Barbarians and the King of Qin have always been eyebrows, the battle of the Autumn Hunt last year was responsible for the war in Qin, the king of the Northern Barbarian Southern Courtyard Beigong Yu suddenly appeared in Datong Mansion to do the game, which led to the loss of the entire strategic planning balance of our army, it is said that the emperor had sent an envoy to hold the Qin King Liu Hongji accountable, but he was prevaricated by him with "happy eldest grandson, I don't know everything", the Manchu Dynasty was in an uproar but helpless, and finally it was not obediently sent a "long first sealed" gift. Thinking that Liu Hongji intends to let the Northern Barbarians consume the power of my Youzhou, I am afraid that the court also has the intention to take King Yan as the first goal of cutting the domain, which is really a hit. ”
"After all, in the eyes of the emperor, King Yan is far less heartfelt than the Emperor Shuli, who is surnamed Zong." Lu Rong sneered. "It's hard for them to plan the barbarians, it seems that the one in Tianjing City is confident that he can fight against the King of Qin with the king's master? Oh yes, I have to add the king of Li who is far away in Shu, I heard that with the same number of troops, there is only a halberd warrior in Shu in the world who dares to win with foot and horse, really? ”
"It's true." Wu Bei nodded, maybe he is not good at people's politics, but when it comes to the tactics and strategies of the world, Wu Bei has never lived up to Wang Xuance's insight.
Yuan Gong listened to it in a fog on the side, Lu Rong and Wu talked with each other without avoiding the fierce general of the Xuansoap Army, but he really couldn't interject when the two talked to each other, but this sentence aroused the competitive spirit of being the captain of the first Xuansoap Army of the Youzhou Cavalry, and sneered: "Is it true? Asked me, if the Xuansoap Army doesn't dare to say that it will win? What a fucking stinky fart. ”
One sentence made Lu Rong stunned for a moment, and laughed heartily in an instant, Wu Bei couldn't help laughing, the atmosphere finally eased slightly from the fierce words just now, Yuan Gong still wanted to speak, but he reacted as if it was wrong, he was embarrassed, and hurriedly explained: "When I say fart, I mean that the person who can win by stepping against the horse, not Mr. Wu." ”
Lu Rong smiled even more, and said, "That's what I said." ”
Yuan Gong's face was red and he wanted to confess and explain, but he suddenly felt that Lu Rong's expression was abrupt and he stopped moving.
Not far away, a gray-robed man sat cross-legged on the ground on the official road, motionless as a mountain.
