Chapter 33: Beishu

Half Moon City is the easternmost big city of the Yueshu Kingdom, located in the Cold Moon State of the Yueshu Kingdom, and the Half Moon City is located in the southeast of the Xiguan direction from the geographical point of view. The whole country of the Moon Kingdom uses the moon as a totem, so many city names are related to the word moon.

In the impression of ordinary people in Daqian, the place where the Yueshu Kingdom is located in the west of the Western Regions of Daqian is naturally the same as the Western Regions, and the Yellow Mountain is full of sky and extremely desolate, but in fact, it is not.

The caravans who often traveled to the Yueshu Kingdom actually knew that the current mainland was a desert in the section of the Wushan Mountains near the Xijindu to the north to the Yinshan Mountains where the Northern Wei Dynasty and Daqian were connected, and it was slightly desolate when they went west to the border passes in the west. But Xiguan continues to the west, it gradually has vitality, mountains, rivers, woods, at the turn of spring and summer is also the grass and trees, lush, the scenery alone is also a unique flavor.

There is a safe zone of more than 300 miles between Half Moon City and Xiguan, of which Half Moon City is more than 50 miles wide from east to west to the east, the north and south vertically and horizontally connect the Yin Mountain in the north and the Wushan in the south of the two mountain ranges of the two mountain branches of the rolling and undulating mountains, here is called Daze Mountain, the mountain road is not high or steep, but the soil is soft and easy to occur in the summer rainy season, so the Yueshu Kingdom has no intention of building a city here. The remaining 250 li or so are mostly plains and small hills, which are the main battlefields of the war between the Yueshu Kingdom and Xiguan for many years.

It is precisely because of this terrain that if the Yueshu Kingdom wants to become the main Qian, Xiguan is the only breakthrough. Xiguan is like a bottle stopper at the mouth of the gourd, blocking the army of the Yueshu Kingdom outside the gourd and not being able to enter the slightest.

Originally, at the beginning, the Yueshu Kingdom planned to build a city ten miles east of Daze Mountain, and then use this to hold on to Xiguan for a long time, but Xiguan Weichang is naturally not a fool, and the two hundred and fifty miles of land is only a little more than a day's journey of cavalry, how can he let the Yueshu Kingdom do such a disgusting thing under his nose.

Later, the Yueshu Kingdom gave up this idea after several failed attempts, unless the Yueshu Kingdom was willing to confront the 200,000 troops of Xiguan Weichang with a large army for a long time in order to build a city, but it was obviously unrealistic, and the financial, material, and human resources needed to be spent, plus the supply of the army was astronomical, and it was obviously impossible.

Of course, it is also useless for Daqian to build a city here, and there was more than one marching route when the Yueshu Kingdom went east out of Daze Mountain. Even if the Yueshu Kingdom allows Xiguan to build a good city here, when the Yueshu soldiers go out of three ways to form an encirclement trend, the city that Xiguan has worked so hard to build is the fat in the mouth of the Yueshu Kingdom, but it is someone else's wedding dress, if Xiguan is lost because of this city, it will be a big joke.

If the Yueshu Kingdom wants to become the main leader, then the unique geographical location of Half Moon City will naturally become the best choice for garrisoning fortresses. There are 300,000 troops stationed in the entire Half Moon City and the surrounding areas alone, and he is the commander of the very famous general of the Yueshu Kingdom, and he has always confronted Xiguan Weichang.

Blazing this person Wei Chang has seen, although he is about the same age as himself, he looks younger than Wei Chang, tall and burly, sharp eyes like eagles, angular outlines, thick and fine eyebrows, swallow jaws and tiger whiskers, at first glance it is the demeanor of a general.

Blazing and Wei Chang can also be regarded as chess opponents, and the number of times the two have fought on the battlefield is definitely more than their current age, from a big battle with tens of thousands of people, to a few scouts fighting for their lives.

The spies between Wei Chang's clear water room and the blazing flower exploration gallery are even more innumerable to infiltrate and assassinate each other, and the secret reports on the intelligence table between the two sides can be stacked into a small mountain. This time, the interception and killing of Wei Dong, a major general of Xiguan, in the Moon Shu State Tanhua Corridor is a typical example, on the surface, there are only a handful of people on both sides, but secretly I don't know how many people need to be involved and all aspects of the spy report, and its intricate relationship is like a dense spider web.

And the Tanhua Gallery, which is responsible for the entire plan of action to assassinate Wei Dong, is located in Half Moon City, and a strange woman named Beishu under Blazing is in charge of the spy network of the entire Tanhua Gallery, and no one knows the specific origin of this woman except for Chi Lie herself. I only know that Beishu is not only beautiful, but also very means, about thirty years old can be regarded as a flower, and Blazing's attitude towards him is not like a subordinate but more like a guest.

At that time, in order to deal with Wei Chang's Qingshui Fang, he temporarily set up a flower exploration gallery, and then handed it over to Beishu, who appeared out of thin air, and it only took half a year to make the flower exploration gallery begin to take shape, capturing dozens of spies in Xiguan, and then two years later, he could go toe-to-toe with Qingshuifang.

At that time, in order to strangle the Tanhua Gallery in the cradle, Zhongheting used most of the spies in the Qingshui Room, but they were unsuccessful. Although the initial Tanhua Gallery was greatly damaged, his own Qingshui Fang also lost his troops, and since then, under the leadership of Beishu, the Tanhua Corridor has developed more rapidly. Even Zhongheting had to sigh that Beishu Naiqi was a woman who was born to be a spy.

In the northwest corner of the Half Moon City, there is a huge courtyard, surrounded by bright posts and secret sentinels, except for the general or those with fiery warrants, no one is allowed to approach the courtyard within a hundred steps, and there are constantly spies with hats, or moverns, women, or old people.

Messages are screened and summarized in the lobby, and then sent inside by special personnel.

I saw that there are rockeries, pavilions, water pavilions, small bridges, flowing water, koi fish in the courtyard, the most conspicuous of which is the wind and rain curtain corridor extending in all directions, and there is a water pavilion near the flowing water in the wind and rain curtain corridor. One of the women had a light red lip and slightly powdered cheeks that looked extremely attractive. Dressed in a plain white plush brocade robe, the peach silk threads outline the blooming plum blossoms that extend to the skirt. The long hair is curled with a purple ribbon into a very simple hairstyle, and the slender and white ten fingers caress the guqin on the table. The incense on the side was emitting wisps of green smoke, adding a bit of elegance and hazy beauty to Beishu, who was already extraordinary.

Beishu was facing the flowing water outside the water pavilion and slowly twisting and wiping the re-picking, the sound of the piano was tactful and melodious, soft and long, which made people intoxicated, for fear of missing such a wonderful sound, but at this moment there was an incongruous sound.

"My lord, Wei Dong is not dead, and the assassination failed. One of his subordinates held the spy in both hands, buried his head deeply and bent over to Beishu, even if Beishu was facing away from him, he didn't dare to offend at all.

Bei Shu turned a deaf ear to the report of his spies, and played the piano as always, but the sudden sound of the piano was like a storm, smashing on people's ears, making people's eardrums vibrate.

After a long time, the sound of the piano gradually weakened, as if the emotions of grief and indignation were smoothed out, Beishu gently placed her ten fingers on the strings, and then said lightly: "How about the loss?"

The spy who had been waiting for a long time was unconsciously covered with fine beads of sweat on his forehead when he was about to get a cold winter, and when he heard Beishu's inquiry, he was amnesty, but he still replied cautiously: "According to the orders of the adults, the line of 'Zhuxing' was used, and the six great masters of the Liangyi Realm were all killed, and Song Zhi and Fan Qing were all killed. The entire line was swept away by the clear water room, and a total of 272 spies were pulled out. ”

Bei Shu's hands were interlocked, placed on the lower abdomen, and his voice was like a trickle outside the water pavilion and murmured: "The clear water room in Zhonghe Court is really extraordinary, but it's a pity, if I explore the flower gallery a few years earlier, I will kill this Wei Chang's only son." When the time comes, as soon as Wei Chang dies, my Yueshu army will be stationed in Xiguan just around the corner. ”

Obviously, Beishu doesn't have much feeling about the dead spy, the fate of the spy is like this, no one remembers when he dies, and he may be on the way to death if he is alive.

Then Bei Shu said to the subordinates behind him: "Let the spies not make big moves recently, and lurk well." ”

"Yes!" the subordinate gently placed the spy in his hand on Beishu's table and retreated.

Beishu opened the spy report and took a look, the ambush point of the entire land route was directly ignored, and the ambush point of the waterway was logically said to be a mortal situation in Weidong in Ape Gorge, and Xijindu was just an insurance policy. For Ye Dingtian beside Wei Dong, Beishu did a detailed investigation before this, and coupled with the battlefield-related spy reports, his general strength can be judged. It stands to reason that it should be more than enough for the two Liangyi Realm Great Masters to kill Ye Dingtian, but they failed. It is difficult for Ye Dingtian to reach the sky if he wants to refine at this age, so the only variable is Wei Dong, and it can be judged from the secret report that Wei Dong should have been promoted to the realm of the Great Grandmaster of the Liangyi Realm, otherwise this dead end will not be broken at all.

Moreover, Fan Qing of Xijindu in the rear, as a means of insurance, still failed to stop Wei Dong, and was rescued by Ying Ming led 3,000 elite soldiers sent by the Zhonghe Court, and none of the 5,000 people and horses who should be named survived. Beishu couldn't help but feel a little pity when she thought about it, and she killed Wei Dong just a little bit.

In this way, after the Yueshu Kingdom, there is one more general opponent of the Great Grandmaster of the Liangyi Realm, and Wei Chang can be regarded as a successor, and the signs are already better than the blue, and it will be even more difficult to kill Wei Dong in the future, and it is also unlikely.

Beishu thought about it and put this secret report in her cuff, got up and walked outside, and instructed the guards who were separated on both sides: "Prepare the car and go to the General's Mansion." ”

"Yes!"

Half Moon City, in the General's Mansion.

As soon as Blazing finished discussing matters with the subordinate generals stationed in Half Moon City, he heard his subordinates report that Beishu was already waiting in the side hall to meet him, so Blazing hurriedly asked his subordinates to invite Beishu over.

"See the general!" Beishu folded her hands on her lower abdomen, bowed slightly, and saluted Blazing.

Blazing sat on the main seat and said with a smile: "Lord Beishu, you don't need to be polite, hurry up and sit down and drink a cup of hot tea." I don't know what's going on with Lord Beishu, although the weather is not too cold now, but it's also a little cold, you don't want to freeze your body as a woman, if there is anything to convey to the next person. ”

As soon as Blazing finished speaking, several subordinates poured hot tea for Beishu.

Bei Shu thanked General Blazing, sat down on the side seat, and said humbly: "Bei Shu came to ask the general for his guilt this time. ”

Blazing Flame said with a puzzled face: "I don't know what Lord Beishu is guilty of. ”

Bei Shu took out the previous secret report from his cuff and handed it to the subordinate on the side and handed it to Blazing, after Blazing opened it, he looked at it, frowned slightly, and said softly: "I don't blame Lord Beishu for this matter, the plan has been so sophisticated, and he has left a back hand." If you want to blame it, you can only blame Xiguan's Qingshui Fang for being more skilled, and Lord Beishu doesn't have to blame himself. ”

Beishu got up and saluted, "Thank you for the general's forgiveness, Beishu will definitely make up for it." ”

Blazing shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "Lord Beishu won't just come to ask for sin, then I really want to blame you." ”

Beishu shook her head and smiled without saying a word.

Blazing will be sent back four times.

"According to the spy's report, Zhonghe Court has launched a particularly secret plan, which may be revenge for our assassination of Wei Dong, or it may have been prepared for a long time and just took this opportunity to make a move. Therefore, the lives of the senior generals and generals in the army may be threatened at that time, although the concubines have arranged for the people of the flower gallery to secretly protect them, but the generals themselves need to be careful. Beishu looked at Blazing and said seriously.

Regarding Beishu's intelligence news, Blazing Lie still recognized it very much, and his expression couldn't help but be a little solemn. After all, if a high-ranking general is assassinated, it is easy to cause panic in the army, and even if he is guided by someone with ulterior motives, it will be troublesome to cause a mutiny among the soldiers.

Blazing pondered for a while and said, "How can I let the 'Xuan Snake' investigate, but Lord Beishu, do you think it is possible that Zhonghe Court is just to make us think that he wants to do this, but in fact he will attack others?"

When he heard the name 'Xuan Snake', Bei Shu's eyes couldn't help but show a trace of imperceptible light, but Bei Shu didn't say much about it, and frowned slightly at the blazing analysis and said suspiciously: "Others, what ......does the general mean?"

Blazing first pointed at Beishu, and then pointed upward.

Bei Shuxiu frowned, her face changed slightly, and then she got up and left, and her tone became a little cold: "It's not impossible, I'll arrange it now, and ask the 'Xuan Snake' of the blazing general to hurry up, so as not to go wrong." ”

When the word 'Xuan Snake' was spoken, Bei Shu deliberately accentuated his tone.

Blazing looked at the back of Bei Shu's bad attitude and left in a hurry, shook his head with a wry smile, and couldn't wait to slap himself twice, why did he mention the 'Xuan Snake' more?

Blazing lived a handful of years to be regarded as having seen it, this woman, no matter how big or small, once she holds a grudge against something, it is the same, and she will change her face when she says it.

When I was preparing to set up a flower gallery, I asked Your Majesty, and Your Majesty not only agreed to issue an approval, but also sent a right-hand man to himself-Beishu, the daughter of Emperor Xia of the current Yueshu Kingdom, that is, Xia Beishu, the princess of the Yueshu Kingdom.

Emperor Xia also wrote a secret letter to Chi Lie, which roughly means that the princess is already twenty-three years old, and she still doesn't want to get married, and if she continues like this, it will become a joke. But Emperor Xia loves the princess the most, and it is difficult to force it, so the father and daughter made a bet. If the princess can make contributions to the country like a man, she will not force the princess to marry and be the good wife and mother.

In this way, the blazing twist and turn was very unfortunate to be seen by Her Royal Highness the Princess, and then there was the rest of the matter.

Originally, Blazing refused at the beginning, how could such a big event be handed over to a woman to take care of, but the emperor's order could not be violated. In the end, Blazing thought of a good way to get the best of all three, which could not only meet the princess's requirements, but also help Emperor Xia embarrass the princess, and his own affairs will not be delayed.

Then Blazing handed over the matter of the Flower Gallery to the princess to set up, but Blazing only gave money, and asked the princess to go to the army to pick and cultivate by herself, Blaze did not help, and a group of people who were originally going to be used to form a spy network privately formed the 'Xuan Snake'.

As a result, I never expected that the princess's ability can only be described as a genius, and in just two or three years, she has already managed the Tanhua Gallery into a first-class spy network, and has made a lot of contributions.

In the end, Emperor Xia and Blazing had nothing to say, and added a lot of manpower to Princess Xia Beishu. Later, after the princess's flower gallery became stronger and stronger, she knew about the existence of the 'Xuan Snake', and she always remembered the fiery hatred.

Later, Blazing wanted to hand over the 'Dark Snake' to the princess to be responsible, but he couldn't let go of this old face, and Blazing couldn't help complaining: "I am unlucky to follow the affairs of your father and daughter. ”

It is said that Emperor Xia later learned about this, smiled from ear to ear, and wrote to Blazing to comfort: "The blazing old general is more responsible, the public director is more sexual, don't mind the ......" and so on, just called Blazing Lie without any temper, the key princess Her Royal Highness is really not a mediocre person, but she has helped herself a lot, and she really wants to cry without tears.
