In addition to the original 140,000 private troops under his command to surround Huaiyang Pass, Dong Zhuo persuaded Emperor Beimang to mobilize 20,000 exiles who had lost their identities in the grassland to participate in the battle of attacking the outer city of Huaiyang Pass. Lu Dayuan and Li Yanchao respectively led the left and right cavalry, after a series of small-scale contact battles with the vanguard cavalry of the Winter Thunder Elite Cavalry and the Rouran Iron Cavalry, finally ushered in a big battle, two battlefields, Liang Mang's four cavalry armies, a total of nearly 40,000 troops, obviously neither the enemy nor I have poured out the nest, the Beimang Winter Thunder Cavalry is strong, unexpectedly, the Rouran Iron Cavalry that reaches the scale of 10,000 people should not be underestimated, compared to the estimated situation before the rejection of the North City, the casualties of the left and right cavalry are slightly larger, which means that once entangled by the two Beimang soldiers and horses, it is difficult to get out easily。

Once the main force of the field battle outside Beiliangguan loses the flexibility of large-scale battlefield transfer, in addition to the 10,000 snow dragon cavalry can still fight and retreat, the two heavy cavalry armies that are destined to be unable to participate in large-scale battles alone are very likely to fall into an embarrassing situation , This Tianhuang nobleman who is above 10,000 people under Beimang alone, in addition to the Wang Ting's iron cavalry cowardly Xue Jun, who rarely appears on the battlefield, there are also two heavy cavalry armies named after the surnames of Yelu Murong, the heavy cavalry army is indeed terrifying, but it is very dependent on the large-scale main cavalry, which is like the two-sleeved green snake of the sword god Li Chungang, which needs the support of the majestic qi machine, otherwise it is a flashy dragon slaying technique, this is the difficulty of Beiliang resisting the soldiers of Beimang with a force, if the Beiliang border army can have another 100,000 cavalry...... Then Beimang will definitely not choose Beiliang as the path to the Central Plains in the south, and directly turn around and go straight to the border of Liyang and Liao, and go to the border of the two Liaos to fight with that Gu Dazhuguo, and even have the spare strength to divide the troops and knock on Jizhou, along the southward invasion channel where the grassland cavalry is the most familiar way, and go straight into the hinterland of the Central Plains, or turn east to leave Yangjinggi, and the troops are under the city of Tai'an, it is not difficult. It's just that in this way, the situation in the world is not simply that Beiliang Tie rode behind the Beimang cavalry as a comfortable sleeping posture on the side of the couch, but that you can watch the fire from the other side, and you can sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman with patience, and when the time comes, the Central Plains and the grassland will be surnamed Zhao or Murong together, just look at the mood of the young vassal king, maybe simply change the surname to Xu, it is possible.

In the study next to the second hall's signing room, at noon, the sun was shining high, and the heat was unbearable. Yang Shenxing and Bai Yu including six or seven officialdom bigwigs, except for the deputy section of the degree to make Yang Shenxing come here to discuss military affairs, the rest of the people are just the summer escape, although this study is small, but after all, only the young vassal king is one person to deal with official business, although the six branch wings are large, but there are more than ten or twenty people, the most important thing is that the strategy makes Lord Li unique and personally out of the horse, helping to transplant a loquat tree in the courtyard outside the study, the height is moderate, both shade and will not block the light too much, so the small study has become an excellent summer resort, Yang Shenxing was discussing with the young vassal king at the table, this was relegated to the northwest border behind the spring and autumn veteran, Mr. Bai Lian sat on the chair by the window and shook the fan gently, the breeze was slow, and the king sacrificial wine and dead skin pulled Li Gongde to put on a battle, and the opponent knocked on the catalpa in a game, and he was able to rub the cool breeze brought by Bai Yu's fan, which was really fast.

The combat experience of the left and right cavalry troops outside the pass, the young feudal king has already browsed the detailed military espionage reports, Yang Shenxing is not here today to repeat the old tune, but is currently in front of the Beicheng or all the Beiliang border troops, there is a big problem, Qingyuan Military Town Shifu Cavalry, Tiefutu, The three cavalry armies of the White Feather Light Cavalry, as an important mobile force outside Liangzhou Pass in addition to the main force of the first field battle, have now moved to Liuzhou Laoyu Mountain, so once the left and right cavalry failed to eat the 60,000 elite cavalry of the main force of Murong Baoding, they were bitten by Wang Yong and Helian Wuwei, the soldiers and horses of the two Beimang holding the order, what should they do if they reject the northern city? It can even be said that this risky transfer of troops is very likely to lead to a tragic ending of both sides of Liang and Mang, and the main force of the Huang Song and Pu tribes' southern expedition will be wiped out in the Laoyu Mountain area, but Beiliang will also lose the Huaiyang Pass line.

Yang Shenxing said worriedly: "At the beginning, we didn't expect that when Yu Luan Dao led the army to attack Xijing, Cao Wei's Wan Cavalry also made a posture of responding to Yu Luan's Dao Cavalry's Northern Assault, but Beimang only drew out the cavalry of King Jingchong of the Winter Bowl from the eastern front of the confrontation with the two Liaos, and there was no movement, as if he didn't care about the safety of the land of Jinggi in the Southern Dynasty at all. In the end, he ordered the military towns along the way to gallop south to help Lao Fei Mountain, could it be that the old woman lost her mind and went crazy, and really didn't care about the whole Gusai Prefecture with gunsmoke everywhere? You must know that Gusai Prefecture is bordered by two states to the north, and the army has always been empty, but the post road is developed, once our side obtains a great victory in Lao Fei Mountain, and joins forces with the two cavalry armies of Yu Luan Dao and Cao Wei, the inside and the outside should be combined, and Beimang is going to give away half of the Southern Dynasty with both hands?

Xu Fengnian didn't dare to make a conclusion, but said with a wry smile: "If it was the Liyang Emperor who cherished his feathers, he would never dare to do this, and if it was the old woman, it was really hard to say." ”

Yang Shenxing frowned, "If you change it like this, who loses and who earns?" Beimang is not afraid of being smashed by our iron cavalry in the Southern Dynasty, don't even think about recovering within ten years and going south to the Central Plains?"

Xu Fengnian shook his head and said: "If it was in the past, the Liyang Imperial Court still had control over the territory of the Central Plains, and this was the case, but now that the three kings have raised troops, everything has become a variable, and Beimang can of course also make a desperate gamble." ”

Xu Fengnian gently held a piece of egg-sized white jade seeds, held them in the palm of his hand, and slowly rubbed them, this seed material was slightly red with jujube skin, delicate texture, and clumsy appearance, Xu Fengnian couldn't put it down, in fact, the object itself was not much rare, compared to those carved mutton fat jade, the price was even more different, but the origin of this thing is very interesting, it was Jiang Ni and Xu Ying Jia Jiajia, not long ago, they secretly carried a heavy cloth bag back to the North City from nowhere, everyone was stained with dust and mud, and swaggered as if to invite merit to this study, opened the cloth bag and fell to the ground, mostly some playful and pleasing ordinary pebbles, mixed with some green jade that can barely sell some copper coins, but it really picked up the treasure for the three of them, which is the high-quality white jade seed material that was finally left by Xu Fengnian on the bookcase, Xu Fengnian is so treacherous and slippery, squatting down and pretending to belittle it, saying that this stone is worthless at all, and the stone is a pebble that is not good to decorate the road, and finally sighed and picked up the seed material with a beautiful skin, threw it casually, and then took out five or six copper coins from the money bag and threw them to the little clay man who was in the dust, saying that this is a friendly price。 Although the little clay man was suspicious and felt that he had suffered a loss, but in the end it was a chick in the business field, so he shamelessly picked up the leak for the young feudal king, and it stands to reason that such a piece of seed material with good quality and texture should have been transferred to the scholarly door of Jiangnan Province, how should there be a small twenty taels of silver, if there is a famous jade craftsman carved it, it is even more difficult to say. When the last three girls left the study, the new money bag on Jiang Ni's waist that had been shriveled after arriving in Beicheng finally became a little angry, Jia Jiajia picked up the heavy cloth bag that was reloaded with stones, and planned to go to the yard to pile up a small nest to play, Xu Ying took the copper coin that Jiang Ni gave her, and they were all happy.

Yang Shenxing, who wanted to stop talking, finally lowered his voice and asked after the battle between heaven and man: "Dare to ask why the prince insists on winning the battle in Liuzhou, and even does not hesitate to mobilize the troops of Qingyuan Military Town to leave Liangzhou?"

Xu Fengnian suddenly clenched the piece of seed material that was gradually being covered in his palm, stared at the deputy festival envoy who was in the dead wood of Beiliang Road, and said coldly: "You guess?"

Yang Shenxing was caught off guard and didn't know how to answer. After truly integrating into the Beiliang officialdom, this Spring and Autumn veteran also knew some interesting anecdotes about Beiliang that had never flowed into the Central Plains and the capital, such as Xu Xiao, the old king of Liang, who likes to say that you guess the word, which is one of the mantras.

Looking at the old man's restraint and helplessness that he couldn't hide, Xu Fengnian smiled and said straight to the point: " This involves a lot of insider information, such as the prince of Beimang once sent someone to give me a message, Yelu Dongbed met with me privately before leaving the Central Plains to go to the grassland, and there was a long-term plan related to Hongjia Beiben, and even implicated Wang Sui, the commander of the Western Front of Beimang, and Gu Dazhuguo, who was sitting in the two Liao, really want to talk about it in detail, I'm afraid I have to talk about it at night, I believe that General Yang is sure of one thing, in the battlefield outside the Liangzhou Pass north of Beicheng, with the strength of both sides of Liangmang, our Beiliang Iron Cavalry will not be able to win a big victory on the frontal battlefield at all, at most a miserable victory, and even if you accidentally lose the whole game, it is not impossible, right？”

Yang Shenxing nodded without hesitation.

Xu Fengnian gently put the piece of white jade information on the bookcase, like a chessboard, "When my master was alive, he never tired of telling me a truth, the depth of the national player's skill has always been outside the chessboard. When I was a child, I thought that the master always lost to my second sister in chess, and he was making excuses for his own lack of chess strength, but over time, I felt that as long as everything in the world was like Go, it was the same reason. ”

Xu Fengnian got up slowly, stretched out his finger and pressed the seed, "Xu Xiao was in the most difficult situation in Liyang in his early years, because he fought too many hard battles and death battles that others were not willing to touch, and there were not many soldiers and horses under his hands, why are those bigwigs in the Liyang Military Department still willing to bet on Xu Xiao again and again? The insiders I said earlier, those national players hiding behind the heavy curtains, are actually very empty, and I Bei Liang both know that they will only see the rabbit and not scatter the eagle, no way, Bei Liang can only go to the edge with the sword, so that those people standing in front of the gambling table feel that it is time to sit down, it is time to gamble on a big one, otherwise the shot is slow, and you can only get some leftovers between your teeth. ”

Xu Fengnian smiled and said: "These guys, no one has a small appetite, so I have to let them see sincerity, such as ......"

Yang Shenxing subconsciously asked, "For example?"

Xu Feng said in a young voice: "For example, while the Liangzhou Guanwai Iron Cavalry is trying to keep the northern city from losing, the Liuzhou cavalry won a big victory in the old woman's mountain, and then went all the way north to win Xijing in the Northern Mang and Southern Dynasties. ”

Yang Shenxing is a grandmaster in the officialdom battlefield, and she is a master figure, and she is thorough at all.

It's just that this veteran, who has experienced the Spring and Autumn War, did not feel the slightest relaxation, but became more and more heavy.

The young vassal king only said that he was defending the city of Refusal, so what if it was located north of the city?

Huaiyang Pass, the three major military towns of willow buds and poria cocos.

Chu Lushan, Zhou Kang, Li Yanchao, Lu Dayuan, four generals.

――――

I don't know when, except for the two people standing across the table in the study, the rest of the people have left.

After Yang Shenxing also walked out of the study, the young vassal king held the seed, walked to the window, and looked up at the loquat tree, although it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, the greenery was still lush.

In spring, summer, autumn and winter, the leaves can grow green. Birth, old age, sickness and death, people do not live forever.
