Chapter 349: Martial Monarch
This time, it was Zhuge Yu who assisted Liang Xiao in the review.
The most nervous person in the entire Yanzhou is Zhuge Yu.
As an old minister, of course he understands how much the cost of more than 10,000 cavalry and 15,000 Liang family troops is.
On economic terms alone, the cost of these two armies is equivalent to at least 80,000 regular infantry......
If factors such as popular sentiment and food and grass are taken into account, the consumption of the two armies is equivalent to 60,000 regular infantry.
In the previous big week, there was no case of a young man in charge of the army.
Even if he is a talent like Mu Lingxiao, he can only be a subordinate general before the weak crown, and he cannot become a nominal county commander of Liang Xiao's level, and the actual commander of the military region.
Zhuge Yu can imagine that the group of ministers of the family in the capital will inevitably be impeached again and vigorously oppose it.
If Duan Yunyi wants to give Liang Xiao such military power, he must be under unimaginable pressure.
For example, Duanmu Yuncheng and Duanmu Yunqing were also sealed, and the official rank was to the fifth grade, which was actually the result of mutual compromise between the two sides.
The imperial court is not afraid of the ministers of the family making trouble, but it is afraid that they will not cooperate, be passive and sabotage, and pass the buck to each other.
There are not enough suitable personnel to replace them.
Only Liang Xiao, Zhuge Yu, and Gu Pingxiu were left at the scene.
Zhuge Yu said worriedly: "Marquis Lanling thinks when Beihu may go south?" ”
"They have to go south before winter this year!"
"How so?" Zhuge Yu became interested, and that little worry disappeared.
"The Northern Huding is called the Huns, the Wind Emperor is so happy, eager to establish his might, and there are Tuoba clans who are eager to prove their worth. Liaodong is stubbornly defended, and there is the protection of the Great Wall, which is not conducive to the cavalry fighting for a long time, but it can be safe. Only the north of Yanzhou has a gap in the Great Wall, and the north of Guanlong is the grassland, which is the most vulnerable to attack. ”
"But no matter what choice they make, I must let the Beihu people come to Yanzhou, and my country will have a victory!"
Liang Xiao's serious analysis made Zhuge Yu and Gu Pingxiu fall into deep thought.
If Beihu chooses to invade Guanlong, will he also lead the war?
Let Guanlong rescue the emergency, the imperial court will send troops to help, work together to fight Beihu, and take the opportunity to subdue the Guanlong nobles, which may be the best policy.
But Liang Xiao probably didn't plan to do that.
But considering that Liang Xiao has always acted steadily and is not frivolous, the civil and military can only choose to support.
"No matter how bad it is, Yanzhou can defend the city......" This is Zhuge Yu's heart.
"The battle with Beihu must be a field battle."
Liang Xiao's next sentence shocked Zhuge Yu, and he thought that he had heard his heart.
"There are many cavalry in Beihu, and the field battle is unfavorable." Zhuge Yu sighed.
Liang Xiao explained: "Soldiers are impermanent, and the generals should be accustomed to the right time and place, and the right people will be guided according to the situation. I have informed the capital to build more warships in case the enemy crosses the river. ”
Zhuge Yu was stunned for a moment, and then stroked his beard and smiled: "The rest is to search for the spies in the city, and the chivalrous soldiers under the command of the Red Blood Sword are indispensable." ”
He understood that Liang Xiao already had a clear and thorough plan, and it was not something he needed to worry about.
When Diana arrived at her destination, it was already her fourth day in Yanzhou.
In the early morning, Diana stood in front of a hill and looked out at the pass.
The shape of this hill does look a little like cattle and sheep, but it is inconspicuous.
"Does this mountain have a name?" Diana asked.
The female Xuanwei Chen Ling shook her head and said: "No, it is said that the feng shui here is not good, and it is inaccessible!" ”
Diana breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, and confirmed that there was only Xuanwei here, so she was relieved: "There used to be a human-shaped boulder in the mountain pass, and it can be excavated one mile due south of the mountain pass. ”
Chen Ling immediately went to inform the other Xuanwei.
The crowd escorted Diana and Vis to the mountain pass, and sure enough, they saw a boulder two feet high, like a person standing and waving, and the boulder was already covered with moss.
After measuring a mile, the guards finally found a meadow.
"Right here, dig down, you're done." Diana was full of anticipation.
In order to keep it secret, Liang Xiao even forbade Liang Jiajun to approach the destination at will.
Two hundred guards brought all kinds of digging tools and hounds, and even shovels for digging graves.
The grass was not as soft as expected, and after digging three feet into the ground, they found that there was still a layer of hard soil underneath.
"It really looks like it's stuffed by people." Vess's excitement couldn't be greater.
The treasure of the Wenren clan is real!
Even though a female guard held an umbrella for Diana, sweat was still on her forehead.
This treasure is related to the relationship between the two countries, and may also determine her future happiness......
In the afternoon, everyone dug into the ground, and the pit suddenly collapsed, and the two Xuanwei were grabbed by their quick-eyed companions and did not fall.
"Dig it up!"
Chen Ling immediately rushed to report.
Diana wanted to take a closer look, but Chen Ling reminded: "After a long time, there may be poisonous gas breeding inside. ”
Hearing this, Weiss was a little depressed.
Out of the most malicious speculation, he was worried that Da Zhou would embezzle the treasures of the Wenren clan.
After all, the Xuanwei of the Great Zhou makes people shudder to look at it, and most of them are eunuchs.
"The cave has been sealed for a long time, and there may indeed be some bad things growing in it, and your concerns are correct." Diana said softly.
Xuanwei immediately took candles and hounds and went into the cave to investigate, and came to report a quarter of an hour later.
"The candles are all out! If you rush in, you may fall into a coma or even suffocate to death! ”
Weiss knew that he had wrongly blamed the more professional Xuanwei, and he was ashamed.
"Ventilate first!"
One of the Xuanwei captains gave the order, and the Xuanwei dug more holes.
According to Diana, there were only some normal treasures and books hidden inside, and there were no organs, so they just had to pay attention to proper ventilation.
After the ventilation was completed, a large gap was dug in the tunnel, leaking out the space inside.
"Princess Diana, as you said, the floor is laid inside, and the walls are plastered with lime and other things, and it is quite sturdy!"
The people dug deep until dusk, and finally dug the whole hole in the ground and saw the hidden contents clearly.
Hundreds of rusty iron boxes lay straight there.
"There are seven hundred iron chests in total, and at least five hundred of them are quite heavy, probably hiding gold and silver!"
Diana said happily: "It's all here!" Five hundred chests, four hundred filled with silver, and a hundred filled with gold......"
The Xuanwei were taken aback: "Then there must be millions of taels of silver, hundreds of thousands of taels of gold??" ”
Diana nodded, and walked to the iron box in the center.
The word "Emperor Wu" can be vaguely seen in the handwriting on it.
"I want to take a look at this first, it's full of classics, please be careful......"
Xuanwei carefully pried open the iron box and looked at it.
Sure enough, there were a large number of classics inside, and half of the space was placed with jade, and the jade was also engraved with words.
The words on each piece of jade are indispensable for the word "Emperor Wu".
And in the middle of the jade and the classics, is a roll of paper.
Everyone consciously avoided it.
"This is the portrait of Wu Jun, the nameless Wu Jun, whose name is recorded in these secret classics, and these classics record the details of the war between the Wu Dynasty and the Tianri Kingdom and Beihu......
Diana muttered to herself, and with trembling hands took the roll of paper and spread it out, and looked at it intently.
This is a colorful painting, and the three columns of text on the edge are in Wu Dynasty script.
【This Pilgrimage Ancestor Wanshi Heavenly Sage Wu Emperor】
【Beam】
【Xiao】
The man in the painting rides a snow-white giant horse, holding a halberd and a red sword hanging from his waist.
Look at his face again......
It is very similar to Liang Xiao, Marquis of Lanling.
