Chapter 709

The Western Qin court and the Xuanniao Guard were all resolute lords, but their main purpose was to maintain the stability of the entire Western Qin.

Once there is something that puts Western Qin in an unstable situation, then the Xuanniao Guard on the opposite side must be solved vigorously.

But if there are some things that violate some regulations, but it is of great help to the social stability of Western Qin, the court of Western Qin, Xuanniaowei, and the king of Qin will all choose to compromise.

Of course, this is rarely the case. Now it basically doesn't exist anymore, otherwise the reputation of Xuanniaowei would not be so prestigious. But the appearance of the Shadow Chamber of Commerce gave Xiqin such an opportunity.

And at the junction of the Xizhou continent and the Zhongzhou continent

A general walked on the desert on the border with a dozen followers behind him, and they walked very carefully, because on the opposite side were a pair of stubborn Western Qin soldiers.

"General, these barbarians of Western Qin are inevitably too careful. ”

A person who looked at the vigilant Western Qin soldiers in front of them was obviously dissatisfied. Although I know that these guys are hostile to themselves, they are mainly afraid that they will spy on the military intelligence or directly attack with lightning, but do you want to show the hostility so obviously.

"Look at yourself before you talk about others. The general coughed and said, "The teams we have placed on the Sino-Han border are the most elite ones in our hands. ”

The face of the pro-follower also froze, and he knew that this was his general criticizing him.

"Ouyang Rui, your Ouyang family has been ...... recently The emperor didn't react to those small movements in the court?" Seeing that his subordinates didn't speak, the general asked another person beside him.

"General Hui, now the emperor's life and death are still unknown, and there is still no movement in the palace, thinking that the rumors of fraud that circulated before are ......" Ouyang Rui was also a little helpless.

"This emperor ......," Yuan Shen shook his head helplessly.

He didn't want to get involved in the in the court, but now, it seems that it has reached the point where it can't be mixed in. The current Zhongzhou only looks extremely strong on the outside, but on the inside, it has long been decayed.

"Is the general afraid that the Western Qin on the other side will take advantage of the fire to rob?" At this time, a personal attendant asked.

None of these people who corrected Yuan Shen were not people who were not clear-minded. Although Yuan Shen only said a little, the anxiety revealed in his tone could not deceive people.

Everyone was a little puzzled about what the general was afraid of.

The official position of Frontier Commander seems to be a bit dangerous, because from time to time there is a possibility of fighting the enemy army on the opposite side. Moreover, when the two armies are at war, the sword has no eyes, and when the other party cuts you, they will not let you go because you are a general. On the contrary, if they know that you are the general of the enemy army, they will even speed up and run over to cut you.

But the times are different now, and now are relatively peaceful times, at least in the eyes of most people. At this time, the frontier officials are basically like the existence of the soil emperor.

Although Yuan Shen didn't want to be the emperor of the soil, every year when the following cities were handed over to the imperial court to pay taxes, he would find a way to pay an extra one. This part is naturally to honor their general.

In short, Yuan Shen should be very comfortable now. Even if the Western Qin on the opposite side deliberately provoked a conflict, he still had more than 100,000 strong troops under his command, and it was not a problem to stop the Guanglin army on the opposite side for three months, and after three months, the reinforcements would be able to climb over.

"Now the emperor is not on political affairs all day long, and several Zaifu ......," Yuan Shen said with worry on his face, "I mean...... The political disagreements of several Zaifu, most of the time, the so-called decision-making, most of them are the result of compromise, and the order is changed day by day, and the order is out of many ways. ”

The other relatives were silent, they were all the descendants of the bigwigs in the court, and they were all non-descendants who came over to mix military merits. But the non-descendants do not mean that they are not favored, they can be arranged by Yuan Shen's side, and Yuan Shen can take care of them, and which one is simple.

Therefore, through the family behind them, these people also have a better understanding of the affairs in the court. Now in the court, it is said that it is a mess of porridge, which is more pleasant.

Because of the lack of an emperor who can make a decision, most of the decisions most of the time are the result of the discussion of the Zaifu. Each of these zaifu is more powerful than the other, and each one has its own opinions.

After all, the ambition of civil officials is to study and cultivate themselves, and because there was no chance to level the world in the past, there was a big mountain of the emperor above the court, and there was no way to level the world.

Many things depend on the emperor's intentions, and the emperor's intentions, most of the time, are the intentions of the ministers. But now it's different, because there is no emperor in the court, so it's all completely chaotic now.

At this time, it is naturally the time for some scholars to take revenge.

However, these ambitions are not very smooth, and it may be good to take them alone. But when several are taken together, that feeling is estimated to be the deepest feeling of the officials at the bottom.

What impressed Yuan Shen the most was that there was something about the military rations of the border army, because now the border army has entered a state of armistice. Therefore, in order to save the grain and grass of the border army, the imperial court issued a tuntian order two months ago.

Needless to say, what the so-called Tuntian Order is, all the border troops are running to grow vegetables, striving to be self-sufficient. At that time, many generals and high-ranking officials were opposed, because the strongest thing in the border army was the combat effectiveness of the border army.

Combat effectiveness is such a thing as only accumulated through bloody battles and peacetime training.

If you give up these trainings and run to grow vegetables, then you will completely put the cart before the horse. The combat effectiveness of the army will decline rapidly, and if the combat effectiveness of the border army is declining rapidly, then it is a joke to block the Guanglin Army, the most elite army in Western Qin.

Although it is said that these generals in Zhongzhou look down on the armies except for the Northern Yan of the Han Dynasty. But there is one army that is an exception, and that is the Guanglin Army under the current King of Western Qin.

Not because of other reasons, but because the border army of the Central Zhou Dynasty, when facing the Guanglin army, lost three battles and three times. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were killed, and three cities were captured at the same time.

This can be said to be a great shame for the Central Zhou army, after all, it is known as the three major dynasties, occupies the land of Zhongzhou, which is rich in natural resources, and is known as the most powerful Central Zhou army. Now it is actually in the hands of the border army of a small dynasty that has suffered three defeats in a row, which no one can stand it.

In fact, after the first defeat, Emperor Wu of Zhou at that time was already unbearable. After all, Emperor Han and Emperor Yan on the opposite side were watching. Therefore, hundreds of thousands of the most elite troops were immediately mobilized to fight against the Guanglin army on the opposite side of the Yousha River.

The result is naturally needless to say, it was flooded by the Guanglin Army. The army of hundreds of thousands, which was originally imposing, directly drowned thirty percent, and one-third of the remaining people had a psychological breakdown.

For this matter, Emperor Zhou was naturally very angry. So after that, we mobilized people. Once again, the Guanglin army began to be encircled, and this time, it turned out to be Emperor Wu of Zhou's personal expedition.

Everywhere else is an army of millions, all claimed. But the million-strong army of the three major dynasties and the Western Song Dynasty is really the army of Bai Wan. In order to make up this million army, Emperor Wu of Zhou was extremely aggressive in calling the border army facing the Han Dynasty in the south, and the vacated position was replaced by the defending army.

It was extremely dangerous for the local defenders to defend the position where the Han were stationed. But who let it at that time, this Zhou Wu Emperor's subordinates were not a useful person.

Moreover, the situation in the middle of the week at that time was not suitable for war. Therefore, at that time, Emperor Wu Zhou's mind was to fight a quick battle, and if it ended early, he could save a lot of grain and grass.

However, this Emperor Wu of Zhou's head is really missing a string. This guy really thinks that fighting a war is the same as fighting, and whoever has more people has a greater chance of winning. As a result, the Guanglin Army directly hit the vanguard army on the opposite side in one breath, and this elite vanguard army fought more with less in the first battle.

The vanguard army of more than 30,000 people survived only more than 400 people in the end. Even half of these 400 people have gone crazy, and they have completely lost their combat effectiveness.

Then the Guanglin army used the tactic of luring the enemy to go deeper, pinching the head and removing the tail, and directly made dumplings for the million-strong army. It's just that when making dumplings, there were only forty or fifty thousand people around. Among them, including Emperor Wu of Zhou.

This matter is called the shame of Emperor Wu, so most of the time, the officials within the Western Zhou Dynasty hope that someone will stand up, and then say no to the shame of Emperor Wu and directly wash away this shame. However, the people of the Western Zhou military were still quite sensible, and they analyzed the combat effectiveness of the Guanglin Army clearly, and did not choose to attack rashly.

And at this time, the Guanglin army on the opposite side suddenly launched a riot.

This situation is very common, after all, in a place like the border, even a mouse crossing the edge of the dynasty will cause a fuss.

And just after a commotion, a person suddenly appeared in the opposite camp, and this person was wearing a bright light armor. And many of the people behind him are a piece of Mingguang armor, and these Mingguang armors are all blind.

Yuan Shen also frowned when he saw the person coming from the opposite side.

"This neurotic, it's okay to run in front of me to show off his Mingguang armor. Yuan Shen is the most familiar with this Guanglin Jun on the other side.

Whether it is on the battlefield or in the officialdom, the two of them represent the dynasty and dynasty behind them, and they have fought dozens of times. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the people who are most familiar with each other.

Although this guy is said to be a cultivator of the sect, he prefers to gallop on the battlefield more than cultivating in the sect. And this guy is also an outlier, ordinary cultivators have been cultivating in the sect for several years, and they can't cultivate as fast as him fighting on the battlefield for several years, so it can be said that he is an outlier in the Guanglin Sect.

"Guangmen God, you came here at this time, you didn't come to me, right?" Yuan Shen said with a smile.

It's just that inadvertently, he has already belittled Guanglinjun. Both sides have become accustomed to it, and even have become a joke among their respective armies.

"Yuan Tiangu, don't you look at where I am now? ”

Guang Linjun pointed to the line drawn by cinnabar on the ground with disdain, this line is in the plain area, the junction of the two rooms. As long as someone crosses the line and carries a weapon, it is considered a provocation.

Tengu and Door God are both titles that both sides tease each other, and both titles mean gatekeepers. It is very suitable to use the existence of the two of them on the border to help their own dynasty watch the door.

Yuan Shen didn't care much about these things, but said to Ouyang Rui beside him, "Look at your kid coming out, he is wearing a rattan armor." Look at the colleagues on the other side, they are all wearing bright light armor, you are not sour......"

"General, this Mingguang armor is worn by cavalry when they are riding, and the infantry wear this thing, not to death. ”

Ouyang Rui said a little speechlessly, this general is still really going to cause trouble. It is estimated that he wants to mock the nouveau riche nature of these guys on the other side, you must know that the cost of a piece of Mingguang armor is not cheap, even if he is the favored sister-in-law in the family, he is not willing to give him a set.

In the past, when Ouyang Rui was afraid of death, he spent his own money to make a set, but now he eats ashes in the warehouse, which is completely meaningless.

It's really invulnerable, and the defense is very strong. It's just that it's against ordinary weapons. If you were a cultivator, you would also be killed if you took a spiritual weapon and slashed it.

The most important thing is this thing, the weight is amazing, if it is worn by ordinary cavalry, it is fine. But if you wear this thing as an infantryman, I'm afraid that you won't be able to walk a few miles, and you will completely collapse.

Guang Linjun's face on the opposite side was a little embarrassed, he wanted to come over to show off the batch of Mingguang armor that had just been sent from the forbidden army. After all, now that both sides have arranged spies in each other's military camps, this news is unstoppable, so it is better to show off their muscles before the other party notices.

This kind of thing often happens between Yuan Shen and Guang Linjun, so everyone is used to it.

The generals and personal entourage behind Guang Linjun also very much agreed with this Ouyang Rui's words, after all, they were all "forced" to wear Mingguang armor, and then "exactly" passed by here.

It's definitely not because the boss of his own family is bored and deliberately comes here to block this Yuan Shen.

But Yuan Shen's eyes fell on the Mingguang armor, and there was a look of doubt in his eyes.
