Chapter 234: I Want You to See a Man's Heart Clearly
This time, the Nanzhao Xingbing was unexpected, and even the ministers in the court were full of surprise, the world has been peaceful for almost 20 years, why does the saint insist on going his own way? When it comes to state affairs, they are impassioned, but when it comes to going to the battlefield, the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the hall are silent.
Xiao Zheng sneered in his heart, and his face remained silent, "The cold air came early in the old year, and the herdsmen in the north didn't have time to harvest the pastures. The Northern Yan cavalry was invincible, and almost all the Northern Expeditions of the previous dynasties were beaten back by the cavalry. ”
War horses are the most important war resources in addition to people and weapons, from the initial power of the chariot to the formation of cavalry combat power, the status and importance of horses are also constantly improving, the Southern Dynasty is good at sailors and infantry, but the cavalry is a short board, and into the hinterland of the Northern Dynasties, are the vast plains and grasslands and deserts, how can the infantry catch up? Therefore, no matter how strong the troops of the previous Northern Expeditions were, they could not hold it after they were captured.
The cavalry of the Northern Dynasty was invincible, and it was also a pit dug by the Southern Dynasty itself. Emperor Shun was in line with the family in the world, so that when the princess married not only the silk silk and gold and silver treasures, but also the astronomical geography, agricultural books, medical books, and even iron smelting and casting techniques, the knowledge of the Northern Dynasty was all made up.
There are many nomads in the Northern Dynasties, living in pursuit of water and grass, the cost of war is extremely low, mare's milk can be used as a drink, can also be used to satisfy hunger, horse blood can maintain life, and at a critical juncture, the army will also kill horses to satisfy hunger, in order to ensure survival. The establishment of Beiyan Rouran relied on horses, forming a strong military force, which was the founding of the country.
Although the horse is important, but as soon as the battlefield charge is thrown off, the saddle and stirrup came into being, the application of the stirrup not only facilitates the ride, but also makes the soldier have a stable support when riding, liberates the arm, can make more rushing and chopping actions, greatly improves the lethality of the cavalry, and makes the cavalry further become the main force in the war.
The iron materials of the Northern Dynasty originally relied on the Southern Dynasty, and seventy or eighty percent of them had to be imported from the Southern Dynasty, and the resource sharing of Emperor Shun allowed the Northern Dynasty to master the casting technique by itself, and the cavalry was quickly powerful.
Sixty or seventy percent of the horses of the Southern Dynasties depended on the Northern Dynasties, but the Northern Dynasties firmly grasped the horse resources.
Emperor Gao of the previous dynasty and Beiyan fought for a lifetime, and he was about to die in his old age, and he angrily criticized four big words behind Emperor Shun's book, sinners through the ages!
Although these four words are a bit extreme, they also point out why the Southern Dynasty, which has always been in an advantageous state in the war, has been declining more and more since Emperor Shun.
The history books evaluate Emperor Gao as a war maniac, stubborn and self-serving, reckless and reckless, it is because of the continuous years and the Northern Dynasty to come, only to a prosperous and prosperous rivers and mountains to fight all over the wilderness, the people are not happy, but Emperor Gao was indeed rich and strong, so he could withstand the foreign war almost once a year, Rao is like this, and he can't hurt the Northern Yan at all, but the Southern Dynasty is very injured, how can Emperor Gao not be angry?
Therefore, Xiao Zhengzhi wanted to take the opportunity to start the Northern Expedition.
Xie Changxian shouldered a heavy task this time, that is, to destroy the horse farms in Rouran and Pingjing Prefecture.
He really lived up to Xiao Zhengzhi's expectations, fighting and destroying along the way, and either burned or took the granary horse farm of Xizhao Rouran and Beiyan as his own, which was even more ruthless than Lu Xiuyi back then. Xie Changxian became famous in one fell swoop with blitzkrieg for the first time he led his troops, and was included in the 100 bestsellers of tactics that had to be learned in contemporary times.
In April, Xie Changxian went east to Yunmengze, shot a wild goose, he asked people to force the wild goose to the direction of Jingzhou, ordered that no one was left where the geese passed, in May, bypassed Jingzhou and attacked Pingzhou, after slaughtering the city again, he burned Pingzhou with a fire, and led the troops back to Yunmengze, occupied the soft Udante city and began to garrison Tuntian, and confronted Jingzhou from afar.
In this battle, Nanzhao won a complete victory, severely defeated Rouran and Northern Yan, and more importantly, severed the connection between Rouran and Xizhao.
When the news came back to Nanzhao, the whole country was boiling, Jiangling City was singing and dancing, and the threshold of Xie Mansion was about to be broken.
When Yan Wushuang heard the news from the front line, he was inexplicably a little happy.
Xie Changxian will inevitably emerge, she has always known it.
He is now stationed in the city of Udante, and will not return to Gangneung in the future.
Sure enough, as he said, never see each other, never say goodbye.
Why did he make his own opinions, without her consent, say goodbye and say goodbye and leave?
Why is he!
Hearing that His Royal Highness King Ning was a guest in Xie's Mansion, she asked her maid to invite her over, and after saying a few words, she was interrupted by Xie Changyi.
Xie Changyi came in and curtsied to Xiao Zhenzhi first, "His Royal Highness King Ning." ”
Seeing Yan Wushuang, she just bent her knees slightly.
Yan Wushuang didn't even look at her, and continued to talk to Xiao Zhenzhi, "I'm worried about being outside. Please allow His Royal Highness King Ning to accompany me, and I will not cause trouble. ”
Xie Changyi said unhappily, "The eldest brother is marching outside, how can he be accompanied by a female dependent?" ”
She didn't like this sister-in-law, I heard that she actually quarreled with her eldest brother on the wedding night, and injured her eldest brother with a sword, Xie Changyi was even more angry, this woman really lacks a tutor, very rude, how could the eldest brother take a fancy to her? It's incredible. The next day, the eldest brother moved out all the things he needed, and he was like a stranger to her, and Xie Changyi was faintly happy in his heart.
How can such a barbaric woman be worthy of a big brother?
She used to look at Lu Linshuang very unpleasantly, but in such a comparison, she felt that Lu Linshuang was good.
Although Lu Linshuang was born to a guard and a maidservant, he had a clear background, and he falsely admitted the county lord, and his appearance was good, which was much better than Yan Wushuang.
Why did the eldest brother abandon Lu Linshuang and fall in love with Yan Wushuang?
This woman must have bewitched her!
Xie Changyi was even more disgusted by this, he didn't even look at Yan Wushuang when he passed by on weekdays, but today His Royal Highness King Ning was here, and she bowed to her in order to save Xie Mansion's face.
How did Yan Wushuang not know Xie Changyi's dislike for her? She didn't take it personally.
The more Xie Changyi hated her, the more unhappy she felt in her heart, and the more she felt happy.
smiled and glanced at her, "I just want him to be accompanied by a female dependent, what can you do?" ”
Xie Changwei froze, "You...... You don't keep women's ways! ”
Yan Wushuang's long eyebrows furrowed, and a coldness appeared in his eyes, "With your words, I can immediately admonish you now." She softened her tone, "There are distinguished guests, so I don't care about you." ”
Xie Changyi saw that her eyes were cold, and she couldn't help but shudder, she couldn't help but pull Xiao Zhenzhi's sleeve, "Your Highness, can you take her there." My brother doesn't want to see her, if she leaves home and goes north, won't my Xie family make the capital laugh? ”
Xiao Zhenzhi got up quietly, paced a few steps, and said to Yan Wushuang, "It is reasonable that the young lady misses her husband. It's just that now that Changxian is leading the troops outside, you know, it is a rule for family members to stay in the capital. If you want to go north, I'm afraid you have to nod your head. ”
Yan Wushuang smiled, "This is easy to say." ”
Xie Changyi said coldly, "The Holy Lord will not agree." ”
Yan Wushuang was displeased several times, and when she heard Xie Changyi speak, her expression turned cold, and she returned to normal in an instant, and refilled the tea for Xiao Zhenzhi, she smiled and said, "I heard that Changxian was a companion of His Royal Highness when he was a child, and you have a very good relationship." ”
Xiao Zhenzhi's face showed memories, and he couldn't help but smile, "Changxian was actually very lively and righteous when he was young, and I relied on him very much. ”
Yan Wushuang smiled, "His Highness is also very dependent on him now, presumably because he has been used to it since he was a child." ”
Xiao Zhenzhi's expression was a little unnatural when he said this, and he said abruptly, "This king...... This king is used to it. ”
Yan Wushuang nodded and said, "That's nothing, Chang Xian should have guarded His Highness." ”
After speaking, he looked at Xiao Zhenzhi with a smile.
Xiao Zhenzhi saw that her eyes were teasing, but there was no malice, he couldn't help but be embarrassed, and hurriedly said a few words to him, and he bowed his hand, "I am entangled in mundane affairs, and I will bother you another day." ”
After saying that, he ran away.
Seeing that His Royal Highness King Ning was forced by Yan Wushuang's handsome face to turn red, Xie Changyi couldn't help but get angry, "What do you mean!" ”
Yan Wushuang smiled sarcastically, "What do you mean, you come over your ears." ”
Xie Changyi glared at her suspiciously and angrily, and did not pass.
Yan Wushuang leaned over her ear and whispered, Xie Changyi's face turned pale, and she said angrily, "You talk nonsense, you talk nonsense!" ”
Yan Wushuang snorted, wanting to laugh or not, "I'm talking nonsense? You might want to think about the people he corresponded to. ”
Xie Changyi thought about it and couldn't help but be heartbroken, "Why are you telling me this!" I don't want to know! ”
Yan Wushuang smiled, "Seeing your unrequited love, I just want you to see a man's heart clearly." ”
Xie Changyi cried, "You will be punished!" You wicked woman! ”
Yan Wushuang didn't want to entangle with her, and instructed the servants in the courtyard, "Clean up all Xie Changxian's things for me!" ”
