Chapter 306: Undercurrent (32)

"Are you saying that the intention of the Liao army is no longer in Jingshi City. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Peng Chaodong frowned, He Tengxiao said so much, it was obvious that He Tengxiao concluded that the Liao army would not die in the capital city again, which Peng Chaodong deeply agreed.

Although the rivers of Dazhao are declining, the hundred-legged insects are dead but not stiff, and it is not easy for the Liao army to gnaw down the Jingshi City.

"Then how do you explain that the Liao army broke through the border and entered the customs this time? Wanyan Shengcong gambled all the fate of the Manshu people on this war. The Manshu people are so adventurous, what is this for? Peng Chaodong asked, since the Liao army is not attacking Jingshi City but attacking Jingshi City, then what is the real intention of the Liao army?

"Actually, we feel that the Liao army's move is very risky, in fact, the Liao army is very calm at every step." He Tengxiao said, "The Liao army is probably throwing stones to ask for directions. ”

"Throwing stones and asking for directions?" Peng Chaodong was puzzled, and didn't know what He Tengxiao meant by throwing stones to ask for directions.

"The Liao army's breakthrough this time is to test the strength of Da Zhao." He Tengxiao said, "Since the rise of the Manshu people, the conflict with the Zhao State has always been in a corner of Liaodong, except for Liaodong, the Manshu people are very unfamiliar with the territory of Great Zhao outside Liaodong. The ambitions of the Manshu people are very great, and it may be difficult to satisfy their appetite in the Liaodong region alone. ”

Peng Chaodong said: "So the Manshu clan poured all the strength of the whole clan into the customs this time to test the reality of my Great Zhao, so that after doing it later, will the Manshu clan dominate the Liaodong side, or will they enter the Central Plains to achieve hegemony?" ”

"Exactly." This is exactly He Tengxiao's opinion, this is what He Tengxiao said that the Liao army seems to be risky, but in fact, every step of the Liao army is very safe. Wanyan Shengcong took into account the situation of the descendants of the Manshu tribe, how many kings in the world can have such a long-term vision?

"But the Liao army has another purpose." He Tengxiao said.

"For what purpose?" Peng Chaodong looked at He Tengxiao.

"Plunder the Northern Zhili and even more places to strengthen the power of the Liao State, and at the same time weaken the military potential near the Northern Zhili of the Zhao State, paving the way for the future entry into the Central Plains." He Tengxiao said.

Peng Chaodong sat in the carriage and couldn't help but tremble. According to this speculation, the next move of the Liao army is naturally to evacuate the capital city and divide the troops to plunder, the main force of the Liao army is cavalry, and the mobility is excellent.

Beizhili and its vicinity are open and vast plains, which are suitable for the Liao army's iron cavalry to gallop, and it is the place where the Liao army's iron cavalry comes in. It is entirely possible for the Liao army to do this, the Liao army is divided into four parts to plunder, and the mobility is good, won't the Zhao army only be passively beaten at that time?

Peng Chaodong also thought of a terrible question: because this time King Qin, almost all of the towns and troops near Beizhili and Beizhili had been edicted to King Qin. Guarding against emptiness, the Liao army can just take advantage of this opportunity to take advantage of the void!

The Manshu people are really vicious!

Peng Chaodong was sweating when he heard this, if the Liao army really followed this line of thought, it would be terrible. The entire Beizhili and its nearby people will suffer, the tragedy of Liaoyang City in the thirteenth year of Zhenyuan is still there, and Peng Chaodong wants to have a second Liaoyang City. The destructive power of the Liao army, Peng Chaodong, has seen it with his own eyes.

Unconsciously, the two of them were talking and talking, and they arrived at Xu Hongqian's mansion. The groom parked the carriage in front of the gate of Xu Hongqian's mansion. Whispered to Peng Chaodong in the carriage and said cautiously: "Lord Governor, Xu Shoufu's mansion has arrived. ”

――――――――――

Xu Hongqian is known for his greed, and Xu Hongqian, who has the position of first assistant, will certainly not give up every good opportunity to amass wealth. Rumor has it that Xu Hongqian's private property is even more abundant than the warehouse of the household department. Of course, this is just a rumor, no one knows how much property Xu Hongqian has, and outsiders don't even hope to see the tip of the iceberg of Xu's wealth.

The decoration of the Xu Mansion is magnificent, and the area of the Xu Mansion is certainly not as good as the Imperial Palace, and He Tengxiao was shocked by the gorgeous decoration of the Xu Mansion from the moment he stepped into the Xu Mansion. The gorgeousness of the decoration of the Xu Mansion is even worse than that in the palace.

Although the palace of Great Zhao is extravagant, a large amount of silver in the treasury is consumed every year. In Song Yuren's dynasty, Song Yuren began to reduce the expenses in the palace on a large scale. It is only with the extravagance in the palace that the phenomenon of supporting the country has improved.

The Xu Mansion was very large, and He Tengxiao walked through several corridors before walking to the place where Xu Hongqian received him. If it is an outsider who enters the Xu Mansion, if no one leads him, I am afraid that entering the Xu Mansion is no different from entering the labyrinth. With so many corridors and yards, it's too easy to get lost in the Xu Mansion.

Peng Chaodong accompanied He Tengxiao to the lobby where Xu Hongqian was, and several officials who had just met Xu Hongqian walked out of the lobby. Seeing Peng Chaodong, he just said hello softly.

He Tengxiao had just come out of the palace, and he was still wearing the dress he had when he met Song Yuren, and he hadn't changed it down. The officials who came out could easily guess He Tengxiao's identity from He Tengxiao's uniform.

He Tengxiao is the person Xu Hongqian wants to meet, and Xu Hongqian wants to see He Tengxiao, at least it shows that Xu Hongqian takes a fancy to He Tengxiao. In the future, maybe He Tengxiao will also be a celebrity in front of Xu Hongqian.

In view of this, these officials were still very kind to He Tengxiao, and after greeting Peng Chaodong, they did not ignore He Tengxiao, but still exchanged a few words with He Tengxiao. Since the other party treats people politely, He Tengxiao also greeted him with a smile.

After greeting these officials for a few words, these officials praised He Tengxiao as elders, and said that He Tengxiao was young and promising, and then left.

After bidding farewell to these officials, Peng Chaodong took He Tengxiao into the lobby. Xu Hongqian sat in the lobby.

Xu Hongqian is very old, after all, Xu Hongqian is also an old man who has been an official in the court for three consecutive dynasties, and it seems abnormal when he is young.

Xu Hongqian's age is already in his prime, and most people in this empire know it. Xu Hongqian was an old minister of the Three Dynasties. Once he was a scholar, he was a second assistant to the court, until Song Yuren stayed up until his hair turned gray, and finally sat on the coveted position of the first assistant.

"Gong Xu, this is He Tengxiao." In front of Xu Hongqian, Peng Chaodong behaved like his student, in fact, Peng Chaodong was also half of Xu Hongqian's student, when Peng Chaodong took the imperial examination. Xu Hongqian is the examiner, according to the unwritten rules of this dynasty, the examiner is also the gentleman of that year. Xu Hongqian is therefore half of Peng Chaodong's husband, and Peng Chaodong usually respects Xu Hongqian, although Xu Hongqian's reputation in the outside world is not very good.

It was even rumored that Peng Chaodong's original imperial examination ranking was very low, and he was at the bottom of the list, but he barely won the Jinshi. Peng Chaodong's final ranking was able to rank fifth in the second class, and it was Xu Hongqian who said a few more words for this fellow countryman in front of the emperor. (To be continued.) )
