Chapter 423: Sunrise in the West and Rain in the East
It's a pleasure,
It's a kind of happiness,
It's an indulgence,
The battle of Yan Chu, Da Chu, lost;
Whatever you want,
The capital of the country was burned, Zhennanguan was caught, Shanggu County was cut, the Yan army wreaked havoc and plundered your land, and it is said that the Pingxi Marquis also created the official position of Captain of the Golden School,
No matter how you count it, you lose, and you lose ugly.
but
Plainly
Da Chu up and down,
There really is no one who dares to accuse him of being an old general who leads his troops to fight unfavorably;
Even, the generals of the Yan Kingdom who are above the top will not laugh at him for being a gutless rat.
Because of the opponents he faces,
It's Tian Wujing.
A king of Jingnan who gathered the two places of Yan and Jin, countless people, countless resources, piled up or even overdrawn the national strength, and assembled the Tai half of the Yan Iron Cavalry.
That's it,
It was only by the way of a raid by the Sailor Division that the situation was opened;
That's it,
Nian Yao still safely withdrew hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops of the Great Chu Imperial Family from Zhennan Pass.
Sometimes, whether a general is good or not needs to be foiled;
For example, some generals have spent most of their lives sweeping away countless rebellions in the peasant army, but the fame of this military merit is really mixed with too much water;
Its level, in fact, is like the gap between Dayan's Jinshi and Qianguo's Jinshi, it seems that they are both Jinshi, but in terms of context, the gap is really visible to the naked eye.
And Nian Yao is the only one who has been able to get a decent opponent in a head-to-head confrontation with King Jingnan over the years, which is enough to be proud.
The game with Tian Wujing made the old age very depressed, and this depression lasted for a whole year.
But he couldn't tell anyone, to roar, to roar:
Do you know how I've been this year?
He had to crack his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
Right now
He raised his eyebrows,
He was finally released.
General Nian is very grateful to the Qianren, it is the Qianren, who has re-given him the confidence to be a commander, and also let him find the happiness he has not seen for a long time.
"Bah ......"
Boots, stepping on a puddle of blood.
Not unintentionally, but deliberately.
Because of this Minzhou city, it didn't take much effort to take it down.
Half of the defenders abandoned the city and fled, and most of the rest chose to surrender;
So
If General Nian wants to get the soles of his boots wet, he really has to look carefully for the blood puddle.
After the Chu army took this city, it did not burn and loot on a large scale, which came from the strict management of the army by General Nian;
Not only that, but even those Shanyue tribesmen who were recruited to help in the war did not plunder, because those Chu troops reminded them with a murderous aura that here, who has the final say.
The elders of the clan knelt in front of General Nian.
General Nian was not in a hurry to call them up, although the king meant that in the future, the Shanyue people would also be Chu people, but it was still difficult for General Nian to see them as people.
fortunately
The young general was born as a house slave,
he
Will load.
"It's yours, after all, it's yours, General Ben knows that your sons and daughters have been suffocated to a disgraceful extent, but now, they have to continue to hold on.
Do you see the clouds on the west side?
there
There are more fertile cities than Minzhou City,
There is a denser population than Minzhou City,
There are greater military feats than Minzhou City.
You know the king's will, and you know the will of the general.
Follow General Ben,
Continuing westward,
Continue to take the merits,
You yourself can enter the court as officials, and your heirs can enter the army as generals.
The nobles who once conquered you are now decaying into moths;
Next
It will be your time.
To the west,
Take more land, more silver and gold, more people, more ......... to the weaker ones Glory! ”
"Die for the king!"
"Die for the king!"
"Die for the general!"
"Die for the general!"
……
The offensive of the Chu army was extremely rapid.
At the same time, it also shows that the defense of the cadres in the southeast direction is really quite weak.
The fall of military forts after military forts is actually secondary, because this kind of place, when the general trend is not yours, it is difficult for you to hold it.
What's really damn is that
Military towns like Minzhou City fell four more in the next month or so.
In the end,
Nian Yao's army even broke through the county seat of Nanyuan County in Qianguo.
The fall of a military town means the collapse of a complete set of defense systems originally built on this military town, and the fall of a county town means the collapse of the defense system of a county.
Local military villages, county towns, or soldiers and rebels, even if they want to do something, they will face a leaderless situation, and what awaits them will be swept away by the autumn wind very simply.
The whole battle,
After the Nanyuan county town was taken, it stopped.
It's not that General Nian is satisfied,
It was that his vanguard army fought too fast, and the middle route army was too scattered, and the rear army could no longer catch up.
yes
The speed of conquering cities has exceeded the speed of marching in the traditional sense.
It's incredible,
But in the case of the dry people, any unthinkable thing seems to take a little bit of course.
If it is said,
The dry man wants to exchange space for fighters,
That's bound to be a success.
Because if a main force of the cadres suddenly enters at this time, it will envelop the vanguard army where General Nian is located.
Whether it is to eat directly, or to surround the point to send reinforcements, you can be extremely calm, after all, the land is lost, and the people and land are lost; If you save people and lose land, you will gain all people.
At this time, the Chu army had already committed the taboo of soldiers, and it could be said that he had completely spread his fists.
If the Chu army was facing the Yan army at this time, without the king of Jingnan going out of the horse, or even Liang Cheng's support, Marquis Zheng himself would be able to decisively order the cavalry to divide the battlefield and cut the battlefield, and the Chu army would be crushed in the future.
But the question is,
General Nian is now facing a cadre army.
Against unequal opponents, sometimes you are too strict, that is, the kind of "lion fights rabbit with all your strength", which will have the opposite effect, for example, delay the fighter.
Facts have proved that General Nian's approach is incomparably correct.
It was not until the cadres captured the county town of Nanyuan County for a period of time and the follow-up soldiers and horses echoed that the cadres and horses came with two lines of soldiers and horses, and the soldiers and horses of these two roads did not join forces and the second did not attack, but they were stuck on the southwest and northwest sides of the Nanyuan county town respectively, showing a clamp shape.
After receiving this news from the sentry,
The young general laughed twice,
He knew that the two cadre armies that came from the west did not merge because they were waiting for a concrete ascent to be subordinate;
The reason why they did not attack immediately was because they were soldiers and horses transferred from the two counties next door, and they did not dare to rush forward, nor did they want to take the initiative, so they chose the most prudent and at the same time the most negative way to deal with it.
In this case,
When playing against Yan Jun, it is impossible to appear at all!
That Pingxi Marquis of Yan State, after leading a lone army to go deep and burn Jingcheng, he had obviously made great achievements, but he still ventured into danger and went deep into the land of Great Chu and Jinggi, what an enterprising attitude!
Therefore, General Nian's heart is very down-to-earth, and this kind of steadfastness is not far from when he grabbed those princes like chickens in one hand.
Strategizing, watching the fire,
The itch for the general, in fact, is here.
Therefore, General Nian ordered the follow-up soldiers and horses to arrive according to the time,
At the same time, he ordered the Chu army under his command, which had experienced a long-distance attack in the city, to rest generously.
Other than that
Command his soldiers to boil hot water for themselves,
He's a young general who wants to take a bath!
……
Qianguo,
Upper Beijing.
Mr. Xundao went down the mountain, became an official, and was canonized as a patrol envoy to the southwest.
All of this is in line with the rules, because Mr. Xundao is born in Tanhua, and he is a member of the scholar class, although he has never entered the court as an official, but the identity of the helmsman of the back mountain has allowed him to enter the court to assist the king, and he has a feeling that the "destiny of heaven" and even the "immortals" in the sky have come down to assist him.
again
Luo Mingda is not the only one who knows Li Xundao's true identity.
The descendants of the thorn-faced prince were reused, and they toured the southwest again, which can make people feel very convincing in terms of reason and even "auspiciousness";
The most important thing is that the patrol envoy is not a big official, and even, it is an errand, similar to the Qin mission, patrolling the security side for the Son of Heaven, so this position makes the court that has been picked up by this Qianguo official in the past few years, and there is no dissent.
Although everyone knows that the role of this errand can be big or small, it all depends on the trust of the official family, since the official family let him go to the southwest, he will definitely give him the greatest power, but as long as he can really calm down the situation in the southwest that has gradually eroded, with this merit, it is understandable to add an official to a knighthood and a regular post.
On the day Mr. Seeker left Beijing,
Not only did three thousand forbidden troops go with them,
Most of the people in the capital also sent farewell.
The people didn't know that Mr. Seeker was the orphan of the thorn-faced man, and they didn't know what kind of official rank the patrol envoy was, they came to see the "immortals" who came down from Houhai.
So
On both sides of the road out of the city, incense tables and candles were placed, and many pious people in Beijing had made all preparations just to pay homage to the "fairy" Tianyan.
This pomp and circumstance is even bigger than welcoming the official's family on patrol.
……
Li Xundao is no longer dressed in white, but wearing a red official uniform, the back mountain is the back mountain, the officialdom is the officialdom, in one place, abide by the rules of one place, this is a natural thing.
It's just that even if he wears an official uniform, he still doesn't give people a calm and refined image in the traditional sense, and he still looks elegant and dusty.
It is not easy to wear official uniforms with the atmosphere of fireworks that do not eat the world, and stand out from the category of "well-dressed beasts".
Outside, the forbidden army was ready, led by a newly appointed lieutenant general surnamed Wang, who would lead his troops to escort the Patrol Envoy into the southwest, and when he arrived, he would be at his disposal.
A decree has just come from the palace, saying that the official family will go out of the palace to send it off in person, which can be said to be a full courtesy.
This is actually a kind of extra weight, and after Li Xundao enters the southwest, civil and military officials from all over the southwest will also weigh in their hearts how to arrange the position of this patrol security envoy.
The hour is almost up,
General Wang was ready to go and say goodbye,
When he walked halfway, he heard footsteps from behind, and when he looked back, he saw that the person who came was wearing a sword at his waist, his body was a little thin, and his eyes were like ice.
Back then,
Someone once entered Beijing by boat in white clothes, and the official family welcomed him, causing a sensation in the whole city;
"I've seen ......"
General Wang was about to salute, because the person in front of him had the official position of the prince's martial artist.
Baili Sword waved his hand directly, and his figure swept past General Wang's side and entered the house.
General Wang hesitated, but decided to wait a little longer to pass the ceremony.
……
"In the city, there is such a big scene, you don't shy away from it at all."
Baili Jian looked at Li Xundao standing in the room and said with a smile.
"I heard that you went to the South China Sea, I thought you wouldn't be able to come back."
"How can it, my Baili family has always kept promises."
"You've been back a long time ago, aren't you?"
"Yes, I came back a long time ago, but I planned to go to the door to make an appointment in the Chinese New Year's Eve."
Li Xundao heard this, smiled, and said, "It's really honest." ”
"Later, the official family will come out to see you off."
"I know."
"The scene is too big, it's not good, I'm a swordsman, to put it bluntly, I entered the temple from the rivers and lakes, and after a turn, everyone knows that I am still in the rivers and lakes after all.
If you enter the court from the back mountain, if you want to go out again, it will be difficult, and you will basically not be able to get out.
Such a big scene will be a curse.
As
At that time, the thorny face entered Beijing after the southwest was settled, and the people also cheered and greeted each other like this;
And finally? ”
"What the people want to see is the gods, and the reason why the gods are immortals is because the people can't see them, and when they see them, when they keep hearing about what he does, the gods are not immortals.
It's just a little lively this time, and next time, it doesn't matter.
Besides, the cultivation in the back mountain, the so-called qi refining, is nothing more than cultivating oneself and fighting with the sky for a breath, although tens of millions of people have gone to me. ”
"That sounds a bit harsh."
Baili Jian reached out and touched his earlobe.
He and his sister were very close to killing the Pingxi Hou who was still on guard at the time.
It's just that something happened halfway, and the Yan cavalry rushed out,
He and his sister chose not to make a sword, turned around and immediately returned to the city.
This thing,
became an indelible stain;
Especially later, after the record of slashing thousands of horsemen and taking the head of the savage general in front of the Jindi Sword Saint Snow Customs appeared,
This stain on the Baili brothers and sisters is set off more and more eye-catching.
And then,
As Zheng Fan continues to climb, from the garrison to the general to the general soldier, from the newly emerging young general to the four famous young generals and then to the other three, it is no longer possible to rank with him.
I didn't make up my mind to kill him,
the extent of the loss of this transaction,
is also constantly amplifying,
Now
That one is even more of a marquis,
Yan people, military meritorious.
"The lotus pond in the back mountain is a little silt, I have to borrow your sword qi to clear it." Li Xundao said.
"Okay." Baili Jian agreed.
Li Xundao turned around, walked to the Baili Sword, looked at the Baili Sword, and said very seriously:
"Everyone, everyone has their choice, you can hear, everyone, everyone's fate, this, this is my destiny to seek the way."
"I can go with you, and when I go to clean up the lotus pond in the back mountain first, I will leave to the southwest to find you."
"I'm not the Pingxi Marquis of the Yan Kingdom, and I don't have the qualifications to be accompanied by the Sword Saint Talisman."
"You have to do something, otherwise, you always feel like you've been left behind too much." Baili Jian said.
"It seems that I have gained a lot from this trip to the South China Sea?"
"Nothing."
"Putting it down, empty-handed, is actually a kind of gain."
"These words should be said to those toasts in the southwest, they will probably be confused by you."
Speaking of which,
Baili Sword yawned,
Road:
"After seeing some real scenery, you will find that what you have before is really not worth mentioning, and you will get nothing."
"Huh."
Li Xundao pushed open the door,
"I'm leaving."
"Have a nice trip."
"Baili."
"Huh?"
"If you were given another chance, when you were on the outskirts of Shangjing City, would you use that sword against the one surnamed Zheng?"
Even if he will face the encirclement of Yan Guo's iron cavalry next.
Baili Jian shrugged,
Road:
"Isn't it good to be alive?"
Li Xundao asked again: "People live for a lifetime, a hundred years, which is already a long life, but a long sleep can be thousands of years, so, you say, what are people living for?" ”
"What do you say?"
A smile appeared at the corner of Li Xundao's mouth and replied:
"People live to find a suitable way to die for themselves."
Baili Jian licked his lips and said, "I thought that what you Qi Refiners should say was to ask for a Dao Immortal. ”
Li Xundao waved his sleeves,
Go out freely,
Walking and walking;
"The master told me before he went to Yanjing that it would be boring to live too long."
……
The liturgy sounded,
The people are in the middle of the road to say goodbye,
Bursts of white mist with a solemn aura rose from the incense case.
Today's Shangjing City is not like bidding farewell to a senior official who is about to go to the frontier, but more like bidding farewell to a god statue.
The people rejoiced reverently and bowed down reverently;
They don't know that what they are doing now is actually stabbing him for the person they are prostrating on in the future.
The official family led a group of civil and military personnel to send each other in person, and the courtesy was full.
After a set of processes are completed,
Complicated
ceremonious
Solemn
ultimately
Li Xundao and his entourage, as well as 3,000 forbidden troops, went to Beijing from the West Gate.
Many people still went out of the city to follow, wanting to see a few more fairy eyes.
The officials, all of them seem to have finished today's tediousness, taking a breath, some are sneering, some are shaking their heads, and some are old in a trance, it seems that they are sighing with fate, and they seem to have really seen some kind of reincarnation.
There are also imperial historians who have taken the excerpts written last night and are ready to sue the emperor, the dignified and dignified, the land of Wenhua, how can you be confused by the "ethereal", I am a great officer, since the Wenchen does not love wealth and martial arts and does not hesitate to die, the monarch and the minister are single-minded, and then restore the prosperity of the three emperors and five emperors, how can you not ask the common people to ask the ghosts and gods?
Fortunately, the silver-armored guards, who had insight in advance, suppressed those imperial histories, and before they could shout, they were taken down by the rude of the king.
In today's atmosphere, the officials are a little tired, and they are too lazy to take care of these screaming flies.
Of course
This is also because after expelling those older generations of ministers from the court, the power of this official family has grown, and there is no need to overly pursue the good reputation of spit on his own face.
The official family sat in the Luan car, just removed the dragon robe, and inside was a charcoal fire.
There was someone outside, and Baili Jian asked for an audience.
"Let him in."
The Baili Sword came in.
The official pointed to the position on his side,
"Sit."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The eunuch served tea,
Luan Jia began to return to the palace.
The official holds up the teacup,
It's a kind of etiquette, and before you talk about it, you should think about it.
Long
The official said: "Yu Ciming, lost the bet, was moved to Yanjing, and became his king of Jin; Situ Lei lost the bet, and Dachengguo, a good country, became Prince Ding;
Don't look at Yan Guo's constant winning, he has actually been gambling;
They're all betting,
Because they can't afford to lose,
I am the only one,
Afford to lose.
Seek the way to go to the southwest, and the matter of the southwest should be calmed down, and then ......"
Outside Luan's drive, there was a sudden message:
"Report! Eight hundred miles expedited! ”
The official frowned slightly and said;
"Xuan."
soon
A messenger entered Luang and knelt down:
"Nian Yao, the general of Chu State, led the army to invade my southeast, and the city of Minzhou has been broken!"
The official put down the teacup in his hand.
Baili Sword spoke;
"Official, why don't I go and chase the path back now?"
