(There are two more chapters in the evening.) ）

The northwest side is plugged, the lonely city is clinging to the moraine, and the clouds and sand are rippling.

At dawn, the horse's hooves were light, and the tall Qi Cultivation Grand Master pulled the reins of the horse, looking at this desolate picture of the sky and the earth, and his mood was particularly peaceful. There are only two horses around her, Wu Liuding and the Wu family led by the female sword attendant parted ways with them a day ago, escorted by the white horse Yicong, and went to the Beiliang Protectorate Station where Chu Lushan sits. As for the young minister, Xu Beitong has also returned alone. And she, Xu Fengnian and Sui Xiegu continued to go north, directly passed through the border defense line at the junction of Liang Mang, and swaggered to the territory of Longjiao Prefecture in the Southern Dynasty. Yutai calmly bent down and reached out to stroke the delicate horsemane, this war horse is majestic and extraordinary, it is true that only Bei Liang can raise such a horse with outstanding foot strength, she looked up at the young Liang Wang who was sitting on the back of a horse and was silent and speechless, on the way to this journey, a letter of spy military information continued to be sent to him, Xu Fengnian saw it and burned it casually, it seems that he did not interfere in border military affairs once. This kind of hand-shaking shopkeeper looks very easy and comfortable, as if whoever sits in his position can be competent. However, the calm of the platform is not so much the frog at the bottom of the well, since Beiliang claims to hold 300,000 iron horses, if he is in the world of singing and dancing, he can be the prince of Taiping if he is not surnamed Xu, and the Liyang Zhao family has long been cunning and dead lackeys, not to mention the current situation in troubled times, Beimang's million-strong army is pressing, and he is replaced by any mediocre lord who can not convince the public to have the northwest portal, and without waiting for the Beimang army to show its troops, Beiliang's side is already in chaos, no matter how many border troops there are, as long as the army is disheartened, even if it gives Beiliang another 300,000 armor soldiers, it will not be able to stop the Beimang tiger and wolf division who was released from the cage by the old woman。

Xu Fengnian's thumb and index finger subconsciously rubbed the rough reins of the horse, stood on the slope of the horse, and raised his eyes to look.

The fire and smoke sink to the right west pole, and the valley is quiet and the mountain is empty and the north is flat. But so that the general can fight a hundred battles, and the Son of Heaven does not need to build the Great Wall.

This is a popular poem in the Central Plains, the poet was a bright future of the Han Shi, disaster from the mouth, it is because of this poem in the literary world known as "cool and beautiful" suspicion, the poet returned to the Central Plains as an official, in the local officialdom for more than ten years, never allowed to be promoted, and finally resigned from depression, so silent. When Xu Fengnian traveled to the rivers and lakes with Lao Huang for the first time, he once went to the poet's hometown, although he was very shy at that time, but it was no problem to buy a pot of wine with a swollen face and a fat man, but unfortunately he saw no one on the moss. Xu Fengnian exhaled a breath of turbidity gently, and at that moment he only felt that it must be the Zhao family's son of heaven who made a move, and when he experienced some officialdom rules in person, he gradually became clear that it was not necessarily the man who sat on the dragon chair who was so cautious, but the officials who were thinking about the heart of heaven were just observing the words and expressions. Not to mention the distance, but only to talk about the close Beiliang, how many officials in order to tie up with themselves, often take antiques, calligraphy and paintings worth thousands of gold to have a relationship with the Lu family in Qingzhou, where Beiliang has become a family? How many unknown back doors have been opened for the unimpeded passage of the Lu family's children in the Beiliang officialdom? Even some of the academy gentlemen, who can be called the clearest in Beiliang, also have a green eye for the Lu family's mediocre scholars, hoping to have a little love affair with the Lu family and then with the Xu family. If it weren't for Lu Chengyan's assertiveness, Lu Feiqi, the head of the Lu family, would have taken advantage of this to become the sect leader of the Beiliang literary circle. Xu Fengnian was inevitably a little sentimental, he still remembered the ordinary bamboo lantern that the ancestor of the Lu family gave to Lu Feiqi before he died, thinking that Lu Feiqi could take over the lantern that swayed with the troubled times, and strive to pass on the fire. Obviously, Lu Feiqi, who had long complained about the relocation of the barren Beiliang family, after the process of taking root in Beiliang was too smooth, he suddenly found that the Lu family had a great scenery in Beiliang that no one competed for, not only Lu Feiqi, but the entire Lu family was too quickly carried away, far less clumsy than the old fox Wang Linquan, who was a "relative of the emperor". But what really made Xu Fengnian feel depressed was Wang Linquan's peace and self-preservation, the more the Wang family of Chunshenhu deliberately tolerated the Lu family of the scholarly family, how could it not be deliberately digging a pit to let the Lu family jump in? Wang Linquan's yang scheming and calculation, in fact, gave Xu Fengnian a headache more than the Lu family's ignorance.

But these sages are indestructible, and they can't be said or reasoned with, Xu Fengnian, as the "fast son-in-law of the dragon" of the two families, it is impossible to take the identity of the king of Beiliang to rely on the power and bully others, it is probably the end of doing too many mistakes, and he can't escape the statement of favoritism.

Fortunately, these tricky things are not urgent, and Lu Chengyan's woman's handling is also appropriate, and even the second sister Xu Weixiong admits that she can't find Lu Chengyan's flaws. Between women and women, mother-in-law, sister-in-law and concubine, these relationships are all bloodless swords and swords. When a man is in it, he is naturally extremely sinful.

Xu Fengnian, or the catastrophe of Beiliang, has not changed for a day since Xu Xiao became the king of Beiliang, and he is the Beimang who is eyeing him.

As long as Bei Liang can be destroyed and the border pass on the eastern front where Gu Jiantang is seated, then the Central Plains in the anointed land is a girl to be slaughtered, how can Beimang, a hungry and thirsty man, not fight to the death to attack Bei Liang?

In the past, under the planning of Xu Xiao and Master Li Yishan, although Beiliang did not have the question of whether to defend or not, how to defend it, it was to defend it alive, and there was still enough room for the Beiliang Iron Cavalry to move around, and it could coerce the displaced people to retreat to the Western Regions together, or it could retreat to the Southern Zhao of Xishu as a support, which was enough to fight to the end with the Beimang army, even if Beimang took the initiative to withdraw his troops after the war was unfavorable, it was also a lonely place with strong walls and clear fields, but it raised the supply line of the Beimang army, Beiliang could continue to confront Beimang on the border of Xishu, and even harass Beimang in the vast Western Regions where the battle line was too long。 However, because Chen Zhibao was crowned king and entered Shu, the entire longitudinal western line of Beiliang and Xishu Nanzhao was cut off, so that Xu Fengnian and Beiliang had no strategic depth, only to defend it.

Xu Fengnian felt some unspeakable guilt in his heart, not to mention being ashamed of the people of Beiliang, but just feeling ashamed of Li Yishan.

The Beiliang army is too optimistic about the fire in the backyard of the Beimang Royal Court, Xu Fengnian doesn't think that this can contain how much of the combat power of the Beimang Suppression Army, and the favorable word is the head, that is the trend of the times, as long as the old woman is both graceful and powerful, one hand is the suppression of Tuoba Bodhisattva's army, and the other hand is the marquis and knight promised to enter the Central Plains, and it will not be too long to truly unite and move the country south.

Sui Xiegu is 100 years old, the north and south of the river have walked to the ends of the world, the emperor and the pawns have also seen it, the world is difficult to arouse the feelings of this one-armed old man, he is beside Xu Fengnian, who is stunned, he is really a little bored, and asked casually: "When the old man was young, he didn't understand why those generals and soldiers liked to fight, are you really not afraid of death?" The Spring and Autumn War is easy to understand, people in troubled times are not as good as Taiping dogs, life is worthless like grass mustard, that is forced to make everyone not take life seriously, and now Beiliang has been peaceful for a long time, can it really stop Beimang's million-strong army?"

Xu Fengnian said calmly: "It's very simple, give up your home for the country and give up your life for your family. No one is not afraid of death, but everyone has an account in their hearts, our Beiliang Iron Rider is not afraid of death, in addition to the Beiliang life is brave, there are many people who know that they have no way to retreat, their home is in Beiliang, as soon as they retreat, the border army disperses, and the Northern Barbarian Iron Horse goes south, even if they escape from Beiliang, the two legs can't outrun the four legs of the Beimang War Horse. ”

Sui Xiegu pursed his lips and sneered: "None of you who are officials are good things. ”

Xu Fengnian smiled: "Haven't I had no way out?"

Sui Xiangu rolled his eyes and said: "With your skills, if you really want to kill people, why don't you go to Longjiao Prefecture single-handedly to kill it seven in and seven out?" Could it be that Tuoba Bodhisattva and Hong Jingyan can still follow your ass and stare at it every day?"

Xu Fengnian said indifferently: "I can kill like this, but the characters on the Beimang Martial Arts Review can also be killed like this, the two countries are at war, such a move can't be said to be meaningless, but it really doesn't mean much." Of course, if one day Bei Liang can no longer guard the northwest gate, I will definitely do it. ”

Sui Xiegu was still about to speak, only to hear Yutai snort calmly and coldly, and the sword-eating old monster with long eyebrows and fluttering eyebrows immediately closed his mouth.

At this moment, a burst of dust was raised in the distance, and the route was to drive south, probably to see the abrupt three horsemen on the small sand slope, these guys with superb riding skills went straight to the hillside, but did not act rashly, but stopped their horses fifty zhang outside the bottom of the slope, and looked at Xu Fengnian and the three of them at the top of the slope.

It is a standard Beimang elite scout, looking at the armor and clothing, it is not a crow column with the same name as the Beiliang crossbowman, it should be the descendant of the Southern Dynasty general Liu Jue.

Liu Jue was once praised by the Empress Beimang as being half of Xu Xiao. Originally, he was expected to succeed Huang Songpu as one of the candidates for the king of the Southern Courtyard, but he just gave the "Dong Fat Dun'er" in the old woman's mouth the first step.

As a scout, whether it is Beimang or Beiliang, they are the most disciplined, unless it is a narrow encounter between peers, the collection of military information without revealing their whereabouts is the first priority.

However, if you can take off a few enemy heads, no one will refuse.

In this standard scout, he rushed out of a horse, took a bow and shot an arrow a hundred steps away, and the head was excellent, and he stabbed the head of Xu Fengnian, who was in the center of the three horsemen on the slope. This barbarian probably wants to determine the strength of these three horsemen, and if he doesn't want to provoke it, he will retreat, and if it is an embroidered pillow, he will kill people and take the horse.

Now that the two armies are facing each other, the first to start exchanging lives must be the scouts.

Xu Fengnian turned his head and dodged the arrow.

The scout quickly turned his horse's head and retreated.

Sui Xiangu's eyes widened and asked, "Don't you eat the meat that is sent to your mouth?"

Xu Fengnian shook his head and said, "Naturally, there will be a secret stalk from the top Beiliang crossbowmen. Now Beimang's harassment looks very inexplicable, and my side has paid immeasurable losses in order to obtain Beimang's accurate motives, and the marching route of these Beimang spies has become the most valuable clue. As for who is the real bait, it depends on the strength and luck of both sides. ”

Sui Xiegu grinned and said: "Bending the intestines, it's really unpleasant!"

Xu Fengnian said with a smile: "Is it cool to want the million-strong army of Beimang to obediently hoard one place, and then have a one-time fight with our thirty iron horsemen?"

Sui Xiegu asked rhetorically: "You save trouble, he saves trouble, everyone is happy, whoever loses will get out, what else is going on?"

Xu Fengnian couldn't help but smile, "The Northern Barbarian really wants Bei Liang to do this, to be honest, I really want to." ”

The old swordsman's statement sounds ridiculous to the layman, but if Liang Mang can really be so decisive and leave no room for it, everyone is really happy, Beimang has hope to eat the roadblocks on the way to the south in one bite, and Bei Liang is not hopeless to defeat the Beimang army in one fell swoop. Although Dong Zhuo is already the nominal commander of the army, he has more than 100,000 Dong Jiajun, Hong Jingyan's Rouran Iron Cavalry, the Wu Army of Longjiao Prefecture, Liu Qi and Yang Yuanzan, and the pro-army of several generals, including Liu Qi and Yang Yuanzan, can be mobilized, but he can never do it like an arm, and Beiliang is different, Chu Lushan and Yuan Zuozong can achieve absolute control over the Beiliang army, in the confrontation between the winner and the winner of the first battle, this is where the opportunity of Beiliang lies。 It's just that this kind of "battle of wills", which is tantamount to betting on the two dynasties, is too extravagant for both sides.

Xu Fengnian looked at those Beimang scouts retreating north, and said softly: "Half Xu Xiao, no matter who wins or loses in this big battle, your Liu Jue's 40,000 horses will definitely die." ”

Yutai calmly asked, "What do you say next?"

"Go and take a look at the million-strong army of Beimang. ”

Xu Fengnian rode downhill and galloped north.

Sui Xiegu, who could only follow behind, said angrily: "Didn't you kid just say that this kind of behavior is meaningless?!"

Xu Fengnian squinted with a smile, turned his head to look at the tall woman, and pretended to be stupid and asked, "Senior Tangtai, did I say it?"

Yutai said calmly and expressionlessly: "No." ”

Sui Xiegu wanted to speak and stopped, so uncomfortable that he couldn't hold it back.

Xu Fengnian hummed a little song to himself.

The king asked me to patrol the mountains, and after patrolling the north mountain and the south mountain~

Patrolled the East Mountain to kill passers-by, and patrolled the West Mountain to see the sun. My king has three heads and six arms, I robbed the little lady and carried it on my back, so pitiful that I didn't swallow the fat in my mouth, when can I turn over and be the king......
