Chapter 157: The sky is high and the birds fly
The Dragon King's Mansion is almost earth-shattering, but Qingcang City didn't make a big move, for the homeless people in the city, that is, there are hundreds of shiny bald heads, and they are well-informed, knowing that there is a cavalry team of 800 people entering the city at night to guard the Dragon King's Mansion, this elite cavalry army is all white horses and white armor with swords and crossbows, and the momentum is majestic. Bei Liang's control of Qingcang is already an established fact, since there is no slaughter of the city, but there are constantly materials pouring into the city, many rare objects that have no price on weekdays, overnight in Qingcang after the rain mushrooms to pile up, most of the displaced people will also go down the river to get by, not without the people who fled out of the city, but the access is relaxed, there is no obstruction, after a few days, these Qingcang magnates who have a little family background silently watched coldly, saw a peaceful and prosperous scene in the city, and returned to the city in a huff. In addition to the city gate to send porridge, Qingcang also posted a list of notices in the streets and alleys, a young scholar surnamed Chen of Beiliang temporarily served as the Qingcang City Mu, the Dragon King's Mansion was transformed into the official residence of the Xinzhou Mu, Beiliang no longer embarwent salt and iron on Qingcang, and the city herd began to formulate a household, I heard that as long as the people of Qingcang passed the review, they will be allowed to enter Lingzhou, the richest in the three states of Beiliang Road, to do businessIf he didn't have to help Chen Chengmu clean up the mess in Qingcang City, he could have dragged his family to Huangnan County in the granary of Lingzhou to serve as the county guard, this county guard is a real fat shortage, the previous chief officer Song Yan is now a don't drive for Lingzhou, it is clearly a feng shui treasure land for promotion and wealth, Zhou Junchen's wall grass is a little good, as long as he doesn't need to work hard, and he is very good outside, he can make a lot of effort, not ambiguous at all, Originally, a soil emperor who could be a king day by day, he didn't sleep a few times in these days, and in the blink of an eye, he became a stepmother's Qingcang pro-soldier who was both resentful and frightened, and Zhou Junchen, who was sandwiched between the two ends of the new lord and the old department, was really a matchmaker and a bride, and his mouth was bubbling with fire, but Zhou Junchen, who seemed to be the county guard, was in good spirits, and most of the characters who had a head to look forward to were like this, no matter how short-sighted and shallow he was, as long as he could see the future, he was not afraid of being tired.
The night is about to fall, before the curfew, a young man who looks like a scholar is escorted by a team of white horse light horses, and walks alone on the dilapidated north wall, and sees the guy who is tied into the style of Wudang Huangting Dao Crown squatting on the head of the city, hanging double knives from his waist, overlooking the north, the scholar looks north along the sight of the swordsman, Beimang Gusaizhou, last year's one-sided war, it seems that the Beiliang Iron Cavalry won an unexpected victory, but the scholar knows that he just beat Beimang painfully, far from letting it hurt his muscles and bones, on the whole, the pros and cons are mixed, the advantage is that Gusaizhou was crushed to a thousand holes, Fengsui and post roads are goneFor a while, it was difficult to let a large number of cavalry troops move south, and the disadvantage was that it woke up Beimang, and several generals with outstanding military achievements in the Southern Dynasty would begin to re-evaluate the military readiness of both sides in their stomachs. The young man who was newly appointed as the Qingcang City Pastor stepped forward and said softly, "I've seen the King of Beiliang." β
Xu Fengnian turned his head and said with a smile: "Xiliang is here, I saw that you were really busy in the past half of the decade, and I was embarrassed to ask you for a drink." β
Chen Xiliang smiled, he didn't agree with it, I'm afraid this is also the difference between him and Xu Beitong, the latter gets along with His Royal Highness the Prince, or stays with King Xinliang, he has always been a sarcastic ridicule of the white eyes of the white eye, and has never had the understanding of sending people under the fence, Chen Xiliang is different, he has always been careful to abide by his duty, and at that time, Xu Chen's two confidants of His Royal Highness the Prince "parted ways" , Xu Beitong was released to Longqing County, and Chen Xiliang lived in the Qingliangshan Palace, and lived in the side house on the top floor of the Tingchao Pavilion, reading all the books, and the books he held were all books and pens left by Li Yishan. Now Beiliang's military strategy, especially the redivision of military officials, and according to the geographical arrangement of the fourteen most sought-after lieutenants in Beiliang in the future, is from Chen Xiliang's handwriting, but after Chen Xiliang came out of the cabinet, he was granted full authority to dispose of the two things of the grain into Liang and the salt and iron official camp, both of which were unsatisfactory The Huangfu scale, which holds the military power in Youzhou, is still squeezed out by the "salt-eating" arrogant and arrogant forces that are intertwined with the power of the power, and the ownership of several major salt ponds is still undecided, which makes many high-ranking officials in Beiliang scoff, and privately laughs at this scholar who is the same age as Xu Beitong of the Beimang clan and went out of the mountain together, and leaves a sentence that is really a poor family and has no noble son! Then Chen Xiliang, who had not yet succeeded, was urgently recalled by the King of Xinliang and thrown into the land of the homeless people who don't to fend for themselves. If you look back at Xu Beitong, he is already the chief official of Beiliang after the envoy of the first state! People are more popular than people.
Xu Fengnian changed his sitting position, hung his legs outside the wall, patted the hilt of the river pawn and Chunlei with both hands, and said: "Caoliang has been handed over to the envoy to deal with Liyang Guanyouzi in person, as for the public and private affairs of Yanchi, I know your plan, thinking about returning to Wenwu and Wuwu, and setting new rules for Beiliang, so I would rather touch the wall than interfere with the Huangfu scale, and I want to simmer slowly, and I will see success for a long time, so there is no aftermath." In fact, even if you arrive in Qingcang, you can also lead this matter from afar, but I still let you stop interfering, on the one hand, you may not know the way, Beimang has decided to fight the western front first, and he insists on moving the stinky stone in the pit of Beiliang, Beiliang can't afford to drag it out, and time can't afford it, it's not that your strategy is not good, but the general trend, your people and the time they lost to the sky, and then there is the weight of Qingcang, for the entire Beiliang, it is so important that many Beiliang generals didn't think of it. Like Liyang after several big losses in the war, when today was scolded by the government and the opposition as the number one loser in the world, the treasury was exhausted, the last ten years, the imperial court under the blind planning of many famous ministers and juqing, moved the entire front to the south for two hundred miles, and eliminated many military towns and forts, of course, this is not entirely wrong, and even did allow the Liyang court to take a breath, slowly recuperate, and the southward moving front has been more and more consolidated, but why Gu Jiantang insisted on taking a huge political risk, and was deducted from the five departments of the Imperial History Observatory and the Ministry of War, and the front must be pushed northAccording to Gu Jiantang's original intention, the long eastern front, which has eaten up nearly half of the empire's taxes, is not going north collectively, but selectively restoring the sixteen Xiongguan military towns, but even if there is Biyaner's full support, and after Gu Jiantang gets the order of the commander-in-chief Beidi military and government, it is only six built, and then later, you also know that Chen Zhibao, the secretary of the new military department, is such a darling who is appreciated by the emperor of the Zhao family, and can only go to fight with the Manchu civil and military men who have their own small abacus, plus I don't know how to reach an agreement with the blue-eyed Gu Jiantang, he took half a step back on the surface, and secretly took a big step forward, and eliminated some secondary military towns on the new eastern front that were suspected of overlapping, this was finally recovered from the mouth of the imperial court on the old eastern front' Six and three towns', when Chen Zhibao left office, they were added together, but only to make Gu Jiantang's mind the perfect overall situation of the Eastern Front more than half, these nine new towns that swallowed countless gold and silver, their usefulness is not to let the Beimang Iron Cavalry stop in the north in one breath, but to defend it to the death, and try to do it with Wang Yangming who was trapped in Xiangfan City, their real intention is to let Beimang, who has the determination to fight quickly, know that the road is hard to attack, once they take a detour, their supply line will have to be harassed by these military town elite cavalry, not to mention cut off, the most unfortunate will be tired to deal with, even if Liyang is defeated in the early stage, a defeat, put the entire new eastern front with both hands, let the Beimang soldiers come to the city, all the way to Tai'an City, it doesn't matter, as long as the vassal kings in various places make contributions, there will be these nine military towns echoing each other at that time, and it is very promising that Beimang will have no return. Of course, many people think that Beimang is a big deal to eat the new military town of the old eastern front one bite at a time, but although Beimang has learned a lot of siege tactics in the Central Plains over the years, he still has a wandering character in his bones, he really wants to get off the horse and attack the city, the cost of casualties is too great, and he wins the battle of one time and one place, and loses the overall situation of winning the worldγ Well, it's almost like the Great Qin of eight hundred years ago, and it barely has the strength to fight. β
Chen Xiliang's lips pursed tightly, but he didn't make a sound.
Xu Fengqing said with a smile: "I know that you still have complaints in your heart, and I feel that it is right to grasp both with both hands, but if you say it, I will not listen to you." Anyway, I'm about to leave Qingcang, I can't pretend to hear anything you say, you're done Qingcang City Mu, and if nothing else, you're going to do Liuzhou Thorn History......"
Chen Xiliang shook his head and interrupted: "I'm a person with low eyes, I know that I have two catties, and it is already very difficult to manage Qingcang's affairs, so I won't be a Liuzhou assassin, and the King of Beiliang, you also said that Qingcang is very important to the Beiliang front, not to mention Liuzhou, which includes Qingcang, I will only move my mouth, and I am even more amateur in war, and I am afraid of the dead, and I will bleed because of my plan, as long as I don't see it, I can still feel at ease, but I can see the smoke in my sight everywhere, and someone around me is dying, Chen Xiliang can't do it." β
Xu Fengnian sighed and decided that ten cows could not pull back the dead temperament, which was the same as oranges. Xu Fengnian looked self-deprecating and said with a smile: "If you don't do it, you won't do it, I won't embarrass you, not to mention that I have an extra big bait, a state thorn history, but there are countless people in a high position." This time to rectify the Beiliang Army, the original three states of Beiliang Province have all let the civilian officials take the position, the civil rulers, the military commanders, do not expect to complement each other soon, at least the well water does not violate the river water, both sides are not too ugly, there is more of this thorn history you don't want, I can let the martial arts generals who have suffered losses, not only the history of thorns, but also the upper and lower levels are handed over to them to occupy the position, just as to appease them. Otherwise, don't look at the early spring after the school martial arts, the border is very peaceful, there is no shortage of a large number of powerful people are still secretly poking my backbone, all borrowing wine there to kill my sorrows, I heard that the green ant wine is selling much better than in previous years. β
Chen Xiliang smiled knowingly, "This King of Beiliang is indeed not good. It is also time to use a large number of official positions in Liuzhou to appease people's hearts, and now there are signs of appointing scholars as officials in Beiliang, and it is to encourage scholars to form associations, and it is to fund the establishment of major academies, and let Mr. Shangyin Xuegong and Huang Shang, these literary giants comment on articles, and each year from the three states of Beiliang Province each evaluate three 'Kuiwen', and those who win the championship in Youliangling can directly rank among the Liupin as officials, and the lowest is the eighth grade, which is enough to make those who think they have never met a well-educated person crazy. On the other hand, the vested interests of the military attache clique have lost money and income, and those in power have lost their authority, not only are they feeling lost, but they must have the heart to kill. As the head of the Beiliang family, it is time for the king of Beiliang to give a jujube. β
Xu Fengnian nodded.
Chen Xiliang stopped talking.
These two people met in the winding water of Baoguo Temple in Jiangnan Province, Xu Fengnian missed the famous blind Lu Xu, but he didn't miss this Jiangnan Hanshi who was called by Li Yishan only needs a grand pattern.
Chen Xiliang stood at the head of the wall, pressed his hands on the rough mud wall, his face softened a lot, and he laughed softly: "Chen Xiliang was just a madman who wanted to die and was honest, but he couldn't even enter the gate of Baoguo Temple, not to mention the merry men who sat on the ground in the temple, even the gentlemen who wandered outside the temple could also kill me with white eyes, and I could only use charcoal to draw dragons to relieve boredom all day long. This life experience, even I, a madman, feel ridiculous, sometimes wake up in the morning, I want to slap myself twice, only when it hurts, I believe it is not a dream. Isn't this just gossiping with a Biao Bing vassal king with 300,000 iron horsemen in his hands, and pointing out the country by the way? A down-and-out warrior with an untimely stomach can become a big man full of pride?"
Xu Fengnian was amused and joked: "I hope we can have a good get-together and disperse, don't let Chen Xiliang have such a feeling of being unladylike when you Chen Xiliang is born." β
Chen Xiliang nodded, clenched his fists, and rested on the city wall, "I hope to start and finish well with King Beiliang." β
Xu Fengnian quipped: "As for me, I already have two daughters-in-law in name, unlike you, who have not yet started a family, and now I am the leader of Qingcang, and I can let the birds fly in the sky." β
Chen Xiliang was confused, "Huh?"
Xu Fengnian smiled evilly and pointed to his crotch.
The corners of Chen Xiliang's mouth twitched, speechless.
Xu Fengnian got up and jumped off the wall and patted Chen Xiliang on the shoulder, "The heroes of the rivers and lakes all say that people are dead, and when they are alive, they have to be worthy of their birds." β
Chen Xiliang laughed and did not follow Xu Fengnian down the city, but stood in place in a rare place, taking advantage of the afterglow, stunned, looking north at the yellow sand.
Chen Xiliang, as a native of Jiangnan, was very unaccustomed to the terroir of the northwest of the empire when he first came to Beiliang, the twilight here is always late, the sky here always feels higher than the south, and the endless yellow sand desert here will feel small in it, every inch of land here has been soaked in blood, and the wolf smoke that has been non-stop day and night has finally slowly dissipated. To the north, the uncivilized barbarian who was portrayed by the Central Plains as only knowing how to drink blood, was actually a fierce opponent that had never been seen before by any Central Plains dynasty. To the east, all the way to the east, is Tai'an City, the residence of the Zhao family in Liyang, at this time Liyang, the harmony between the monarch and the minister, more and more like the sky, so that Chen Xiliang, who likes to read history, is extremely sure of the future history books, whether the Son of Heaven is surnamed Zhao or not, will be impressed by the Spring and Autumn Period after 20 years, and future generations will yearn for it, Liyang once again opened the country, there is a Ming Jun who is known for his diligence and tolerance, and in the series of famous ministers around him, there is a large list of important ministers and celebrities who are enough to make future generations tremble, Zhang Julu, Huan Wen, Yao Baifeng, Lu Daolin, Gu Jiantang, Chen Zhibao, Lu Baijie, Lu Shengxiang, Nalan Youci, Zhao Youling, Yin Maochun...... There are also Wang Xianzhi of Emperor Wu City, Cao Changqing, the most proud of Western Chu, and Qi Yanglong of Shangyin School Palace, these characters shine together on the ruins of the Spring and Autumn Period, and they are unique in the past 800 years.
Chen Xiliang subconsciously looked for Xu Fengnian's figure, and the King of Beiliang, who was several years younger than him, had already gone.
This person.
Can you really let the birds fly high in the sky?
