Before Liuzhou became the fourth state of Beiliangdao recognized by the Liyang Imperial Court, Qingliangshan had actually begun to build two large post roads, starting from Qingyuan Military Town, which controlled the west gate of Liangzhou, and Jineck Pass in the northwest of Lingzhou, leading to Qingcang City, where the Liuzhou Thorn Mansion was located.

The tragic Battle of Miyun Pass had just ended, and three convoys entered Qingcang City one after another under the strict escort of the Guannei Jingcai and the dead soldiers of the Fushui Fang.

The backbone of the three teams, the identity is the same, all of them are a state thorn history and general, can be described as a well-deserved feudal official, Liangzhou has a stone Fu Bai Yu, Youzhou is Song Yan Huangfu Fang, Lingzhou is Changsui Han Laoshan, among the six people, the three thorn history are all in office in this auspicious fu for three years, especially Bai Yu, the freshly baked Liangzhou thorn history, so that the officialdom inside and outside Beiliang Road was surprised, no one thought that Mr. Bailian of Longhu Mountain would become a "Xu family courtier". In contrast, because there are scholars who go to Liang in front, as the senior disciple of Han Guzi, the moral master of Shangyin Xuegong, and the senior brother of Xu Weixiong, he often ascends to the sky and ascends to the history of Lingzhou in one step, even if it is not how staggering, as for the original Lingzhou, don't drive Song Yan to take the opportunity to step up to a higher level, and become the first leader of the civil officials in Youzhou, it is even more light-hearted, and now the Beiliang officialdom knows that this cool official who admires magic and magic power has already set up the line when the King of Xinliang temporarily served as the general of Lingzhou, and he is the second group of ministers from the dragon who took refuge in the young vassal king, second only to Li Gongde Emperor Fu Han Laoshan and others。

And when the three convoys entered Qingcang City from east to west, it didn't take long for a group of people to gallop into the city from west to east, plus Yang Guangdou, the assassin of Liuzhou, a total of seven feudal officials went out of the city to greet each other, regardless of military and political affairs in Beiliang Road, this is an extremely rare and extremely high standard.

As far as the city gate can see, there are more than 80 horsemen with swords, Xu Yanbing who is carrying an iron spear, as well as two Mi Fengjie and Fan Xiaochai with a big crotch in the water room, and more than 20 horsemen who do not have armor or swords for some reason.

The horsemen stopped outside the city gate, and after lifting the curtain for the first carriage, a dusty young civil official jumped down, and after smiling and greeting the generals, he turned to look at the second carriage and greeted, "It's here." ”

Following the sight of the young civil officials, these high-ranking officials of Beiliang Province, who secretly met in Qingcang City, saw a pair of men and women who slowly got out of the car, not very old, and their appearance and posture were not outstanding, the man was tall, and the waist was buckled with a jade belt unique to the Beimang magnates, and the woman's figure was plump, and there was a delicate sachet around her waist that seemed to be lavender and defilement, embroidered with a half-face pipa makeup woman pattern, but unfortunately it was badly damaged. He looked at the gate of the West City, which was not majestic in Qingcang City, and his expression was indifferent.

The twenty horsemen surrounding the carriage were like a great enemy, each of them looked vigilant, although these horsemen of unknown origin were unarmed, but as veterans of a hundred battles, they still chose to sit on horseback, and put on a resolute posture to charge at any time.

When a horseman dies on horseback, he dies a good death.

The young man with the jade belt on his waist said flatly: "Dismount." ”

Although the horsemen were full of unwillingness, they still did not hesitate to dismount and land, many of them were obviously wounded, but all of them straightened their waists.

Two young people of the same age, both of whom are from the Beimang clan, and are from prominent backgrounds, but in the end the fate is diametrically opposed, the former is the grandson of Xu Huainan, the former king of Beimang Beiyuan, and now he is visiting Xu Beitong of Langtuo Mountain as the deputy envoy of Beiliang Dao, and the latter's identity is only informed in the spy report of the general of the Assassin Shi Dibao, the eldest grandson of the family, and the new generation of famous generals in the Beimang temple.

In response to the old saying, if you can escape the first year of junior high school, you can't escape the fifteenth. The Tan that had previously stood out in the Hulukou of Youzhou, this time was led by Xu Yanbing with the Wu family's sword mound and eighty horsemen, successfully intercepted at the border of Gusai Prefecture, and then joined Xu Beitong in Linyao Military Town and came to Qingcang City together.

The reason why he will assist Huang Songpu to command the battle situation in Liuzhou seems to be the sequelae of the defeat in the Hulukou Campaign, and was abandoned by the Beimang Imperial Court to the main battlefield that can best obtain military merits, but this expedition, not only the seed family has high hopes for his comeback, but the Taiping Ling is also extremely concerned, and before the victory or defeat of the Miyunkou Battle, the Tan Tan is only a line away from the completion of the battle, once tens of thousands of monks and soldiers of Langtuo Mountain return to Beimang, and the left hand of the Huang Song Pu army echoes, which means that the pattern of the two sides in the Liuzhou battlefield, not only the disparity in troops, but Beimang took the lead in achieving the "general trend" on the local battlefield, and it was an inevitable result to eat the Dragon Elephant Army in one bite, and it was an inevitable result to the western border of Liangzhou, supported by Qingyuan Military Town. No matter how miserable Huang Songpu's victory in Liuzhou was, in the end, only 20,000 to 30,000 cavalry troops were left to drive straight into the northwest of Lingzhou, and if Lingzhou was destroyed, it would disperse the vitality of the Beiliang border army, and the strategic depth of the Xu family's iron cavalry would inevitably shrink sharply.

But these have become ridiculous "ifs", not only that, but Tan Tan also saw these top officials of Bei Liang gathered here, and it was not until this moment that Tan Tan was completely sure that Bei Liang was determined to make a big move in Liuzhou, so the Battle of Miyunkou was definitely not a temporary idea of the two young Bei Liang generals.

Wealth is sought in danger, and if you get it, it is often a great wealth.

Planting Tan sighed slightly, how could he not be like this, but his luck of planting Tan was really too bad, and afterwards he learned that after discovering Cao Wei's cavalry, he did not watch the fire from the other side, but quickly gathered 20,000 monks and soldiers to rush to the battlefield, and even 3,000 horsemen left the main army, almost biting the tail of Cao Wei's cavalry, Langtuo Mountain can not be said to be decisive, as long as he planted Tan for half an hour, he can break through the bloody defense line piled up by Xie Xichen with corpses outside the Miyun Mountain Pass, or as long as Cao Wei slows down for a moment, he will be completely entangled by three thousand monks and soldiers of Langtuo Mountain, Tan Tan really can't figure it out, Cao Wei is just that, after all, he is a native of Beiliang military general, but why is Xie Xichen willing to fight so desperately for Bei Liang and not retreat, why does he even hesitate to give his life to Cao Wei.

Tan Tan only felt that this defeat was very unjust, and he was not unjustly lost at all.

It is not clear at this moment that he lost to Cao Wei and Xie Xichen's alliance, and he will be praised by later historians as a defeat and glory, because Cao Xie and the two of them have firmly occupied the top ten among the famous generals for the entire three hundred years after the auspicious charm. Many years later, Tan Tan became the first Beimang people to be among the center of the temples in the Central Plains, and Cao Wei became the left and right servants of the Yamen of the Ministry of War, at that time, the voice of the government and the opposition was extremely high, and Xie Xichen, who was most qualified to compete with Kou Jianghuai for the post of secretary of the Ministry of War, but chose the latter in the high temple and the distance of the rivers and lakes.

On the way to Qingcang City, Tan Tan and Xu Beitong, two people who belong to different camps, have had several open and honest conversations, and Tan Tan roughly knows that after becoming a prisoner, his head will not be used to sacrifice the flag by the iron cavalry of the Beiliang Border Pass for the time being, or it will be directly cut down and thrown to the gourd mouth, to "add bricks and tiles" to those huge Beijing temples.

Tan Tan never believed in the saying that life is better than death, as long as people are alive, there is hope for a resurrection.

So along the way, Tan Tan didn't have any self-deprecating and boring little moves, of course, this was also because he knew that unless it was Tuoba Bodhisattva, the god of the Beimang Army, who personally led the army to arrive, with the terrifying combat power of Xu Yanbing and the eighty Wu family swordsmen, it was really a land immortal who couldn't save it.

At this moment, a carriage drove out of the city gate, and three people stepped down from the carriage.

The three officials are taller than those Assassin Generals.

The deputy meridian of Beiliang Road made Song Dongming slightly, and the deputy section made Yang Shenxing.

There is also the king of Beiliang, Xu Fengnian.

After a little greeting with Yang Guangdou and others, the young vassal king came to Xu Beitong and Chong Tan, looked at this Beimang Xia bowl and his personal maid, and said in an authentic and skillful Beimang official tone: "When the Hexi Prefecture held the festival mansion and said goodbye, we met again. ”

Tan Tan said indifferently: "If I had known the identity of the prince, I would have left the prince at that time." ”

Xu Fengnian shook his head and smiled: "Although my realm was not high at that time, even if you and this master from the princess's tomb tried their best to stop me, they might not be able to stop me from running away." ”

Tan Tan sneered: "Don't forget, my father and uncle were nearby at that time. ”

Xu Fengnian said an inexplicable word, "Say it in advance, there is no other meaning, I just have always been curious, your name is Chong Tan, your brother's name is Chong Gui, and your uncle's name is Chong Liang, they are all two-character names, why is your father called Chong Shentong." ”

Tan Tan frowned and did not answer the question.

Xu Fengnian asked Song Dongming, Yang Shenxing, and those assassin generals to go to the Liuzhou Assassin Mansion first, and he took Tan Tan and Xu Beiji into the city on foot.

The young vassal king and the youngest deputy envoy of Liyang walked side by side, followed by the master and servant of the two masters, Tan Tan and the maid Liu Daogu.

Tan Tan looked at the back and asked straight to the point: "Dare to ask the prince, am I dead or alive, when will I die, and how long can I live?"

Xu Fengnian didn't turn around, and said with a smile: "It's up to you." ”

Tan Tan said in a deep voice: "If the prince wants me to persuade the seed family to defect before the formation, he not only overestimates the weight of my Tan planting, but also underestimates the family style of my Tan family. ”

Xu Fengnian couldn't help but stop, turned his head to look at the resolute-looking Xia Bao, and said with a strange smile: "It's too early to say this." ”

Tan Tan was puzzled by this, and he didn't bother to get to the bottom of it, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Here in Liuzhou, who did Beiliang use to target the army of Huang Song Pu, and who did he use to go straight to Xijing alone?"

Xu Fengnian slowed down, walked side by side with Tan Tan, and said frankly: "Originally, I used my younger brother Huang Man'er and Liuzhou general Kou Jianghuai to target Huang Songpu, but now I have to add the monks of Lantuo Mountain led by Xie Xichen. Yu Luandao's Youzhou cavalry will also have Cao Wei's cavalry to echo each other and enter the hinterland of your Southern Dynasty together. ”

Tan Tan nodded, "In the war in Liuzhou, you Beiliang was originally barely able to fight, but now you can barely win." We are in a good situation, but we have fallen short. ”

Xu Fengnian said with a smile: "General Seed is a great hero." ”

Tan Tan's expression was indifferent, and his personal maid did not have this old monk's concentration, and the murderous intent was overflowing.

Xu Fengnian was indifferent and continued: "I said earlier that you said it early, which means that you don't have to worry, if the war outside Beiliang Pass is unfavorable, such as rejecting the loss of Beicheng, then you will definitely die, but if the trend of the war outside the pass is unexpected, for example, our Beiliang Iron Cavalry can recapture Hutou City next year, then you will naturally have 'weight'." ”

Tan Tan said expressionlessly: "Then I'll wait and see." ”

Xu Fengnian suddenly joked and said: "When I went to Beimang back then, I had to say your Beimang language from beginning to end, your luck in planting tan is better than mine, and you don't need to say the official accent of the Central Plains when you arrive in Qingcang City." ”

Tan Tan laughed and dismissed.

However, the princess tomb woman master sneered: "I heard that the Beiliang Xu family has a deep grudge with the Liyang Zhao family, but unexpectedly, the prince has a bodhisattva heart who repays his grievances with virtue, and he is desperate to take care of the family and the courtyard for the Liyang Emperor!"

Without waiting for Xu Fengnian to speak, Tan Tan shouted softly: "Rice!"

Her eyes were gloomy, her lips were pursed tightly, and she had no fear, and she looked at the young vassal king who was the great master of martial arts.

She saw death as home.

Xu Beitong, who had never interjected, did not take the next sentence lightly or seriously: "This is ...... It's a little hurtful, and it's not very kind. ”

Pulling Liu Daogu behind him, Chong Tan showed a look of admitting defeat and surrendering for the first time, "I hope the prince will forgive him." ”

Xu Fengnian glanced at the worn-out bag on her waist and asked, "Have you ever drunk our Beiliang's green ant wine?"

Her words were full of sarcasm: "I drank it once in my early years, and I didn't want to drink it anymore, it was very shoddy, but the poisoned green ant wine, I want to drink it, the prince remembers not to be too stingy when the time comes, one cup is not enough, come to a pot." ”

Tan Tan turned his head and shouted angrily: "Liu Daogu, don't drag me if you want to die!"

Xu Fengnian withdrew his gaze from her face, a little unrestrained, and continued to walk forward, "Okay, you master and servant don't act, one thought that his blood was splashed and died on the spot, so that the prince could reduce his anger and earn a little more life for the master." One wants to dissociate himself from his personal maid, so as not to be angered. After all, the two of you are much worse than the taste of green ant wine. ”

Tan Tan and she were both speechless after being exposed.

Xu Fengnian looked up into the distance, stunned.

The reason why I asked that boring question about green ant wine was that after seeing the spy dead soldier in the princess's grave, I remembered the maid in Wutong Courtyard who was nicknamed by myself as a green ant for no reason.

A man is willing to die for his family and country, and a soldier dies for a confidant, and he dies generously.

Some women are only willing to live for men, only for those who please themselves, and in the end they die, and they die softly.

Approaching the Mansion of the Thorn Historian, planting Tan Liu Rice and more than 20 kinds of family elites, they left under the "escort" of Mi Fengjie, Fan Xiaochai and several spies from the water house.

Xu Beitong stood at the foot of the steps outside the official residence, looked at the back of the pedestrian, and laughed at himself: "Originally, I thought of the wording, so that you don't rush to kill the sandalwood, it's all in vain." ”

Xu Fengnian smiled but said nothing.

Xu Beitong asked: "What, do you want to recruit this Beimang Xia Bowl who is good at soldiers?" It's not like it, otherwise it should be the routine of Corporal Lixian to meet and hate each other." ”

Xu Fengnian shook his head and said, "I don't use it anymore." ”

Xu Fengnian quickly added: "Besides, you didn't tie him up, why did I hurry forward and hurriedly untie him personally?"

Xu Beitong grinned and said, "Appetite!"

Xu Fengnian suddenly smiled and asked, "You said that Tan Tan has a few heads?"

Xu Beitong was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes and said, "It's not funny at all." ”

Xu Fengnian looked into the distance and said softly: "In the mouth of the gourd in Youzhou, there are two cities, Lying Bow City and Luanhe City, but he only has a head on his neck, which is not enough." ”

Xu Beitong nodded and said, "Then keep it for now, anyway, maybe it will be of great use in the future." Once Beimang is really forced into civil strife by us, the family where Tan Tan is located can indeed add to the fire. ”

Xu Fengnian snorted.

Xu Beitong seemed to remember something, and asked curiously: "It's just a sandalwood, why didn't you even kill that Beimang woman, is it because you pity the fragrance and cherish the jade?" Then I have to talk about you, that maid's posture is so mediocre, you really can talk about it?"

Xu Fengnian said helplessly: "You are not too kind to say this. ”

Soon the persimmon put his arm around the orange's shoulder, and said with a hippie smile: "Didn't you just notice that the woman seemed to be looking at death, but in fact she was already sweating? And you didn't notice that I was so murderous at that time? I almost couldn't help but remind you at the time, 'I'm too murderous, get out of the way!'"

Xu Beitong only rewarded one word, "Get out!"

Xu Fengnian pursed his lips.

Xu Beiji restrained his expression and said in a low voice: "There is a saying that Tan Tan has said so well, wait and see! Wang Sui, the commander of the Western Front of Beimang, Helian Wuwei, the commander of Hexi Prefecture, Yelu Hongcai, the new squire of the Xijing Military Department, and some Spring and Autumn chess pieces that are deeply rooted in the territory of Beimang. Now there is a farmer. What a ......."

Xu Fengnian took over the words and said slowly: "There are also Gu Jiantang who is about to move on Liyang's side, Han Lin, the envoy of the Lianghuai Dao Scripture, Zhao Sui, the king of Jiaodong, and Han Fang and Yang Huchen of Jizhou......! That's a lot of murderous energy. ”

The whole world is full of murderous opportunities.
