Chapter 252: The World Begins to Fail
Chang'an City.
The sunlight is just right, shining on the glazed tiles of the palace wall, reflecting dazzling light, and it is warm everywhere.
It's just that the Daming Palace is still cold and biting, and many ministers, even if the official robes are lined with cotton clothes, are all trembling at this moment.
But it's not cold, it's scary.
In the huge palace, hundreds of officials, whether military generals or civil officials, none of them dared to look up at Liu Ye with a gloomy expression on the dragon chair.
Since he ascended the throne, he has never been so angry in the face of so many things, big and small.
Why is Liu Ye angry, he himself wants to know.
The Golden Horde of the Steppe invaded the Central Plains, it was not a big deal, and that group of uncivilized barbarians would think about coming to grab things every year, and then leave a large number of corpses behind, and be beaten back by Liyang's cavalry.
But this time was different, the north of the Qiuxing River was broken by those barbarians in the grassland.
That's not all, Daliang City, one of the best border cities in Fenghua Prefecture, actually fell this time and fell into the hands of barbarians, which can be called a great shame.
This made Liu Ye, who was still concentrating on cleaning up his uncles, not be angry, he was so angry that he was about to vomit blood.
The ministers were also angry.
Although they didn't have much to do with them in Chang'an, the military attachés still couldn't raise their heads in shame.
The civil officials felt that the group of border troops must be too slack, and their hearts were just a few steppe barbarians, and those guys at the border pass were all pigs, eating all day long, not doing things, and wearing steel armor that could not even beat a group of shepherds in sheepskin.
Now what they are thinking about is not how to recover the lost land, but who to nominate them, first put this black pot on their backs, and let Liu Ye dissipate his anger first.
Otherwise, although Liu Ye is not a tyrant, he is definitely not a benevolent person, and in a state of rage, who knows if he will directly pick out a few unpleasant ones in the main hall and pull them out and cut off their heads.
Yuan Zhishan sneered at this matter, the imperial court has a lot of supervision over the grassland, and with the intelligence over the years, he doesn't think that those barbarians on the grassland have any qualifications to threaten the Central Plains.
They didn't even have that much population to occupy the Central Plains.
It's just that this time the loss is really miserable, the 30,000 troops and horses in Daliang City, the grain, grass and armament are all of the best, even if most of them are just infantry, but they are guarding the city, can they still be broken by the other party?
If a tribe on the grassland could launch an attack at this level, the Central Plains would have no need to defend it a long time ago.
At this time, Zhou Gongming, the former minister of the first auxiliary minister and the current head of the Imperial History Hall, took two steps forward, walked out of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, bowed his head and saluted, and looked at Liu Ye who was frowning on it with his head held high.
Liu Ye also took a deep breath and calmed down, after all, this is also his father-in-law, and he always has to save some face.
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do. ”
Aiqing has something to say. ”
Above the court, there are only state affairs, no family affairs.
Zhou Gongming wore a dark official uniform, the collar was embroidered with the pattern of red fire, the collar reached under the ear, separated from the middle, and the thin chain made of silver threads shuttled between the collars, revealing the layered clothes inside, the brocade of the same color was tied to the outer robe, and the red ribbon was decorated with agate of the same color.
Even if he is no longer the first assistant of the court, his status in the court is still not comparable to Yuan Zhishan, a kid who has just been in the court for a few days.
"Your Majesty, Weichen feels that although there is a suspicion of the Golden Horde barbarian sneak attack first, the main fault is still in the Daliang City guard Huang Shichong, but now, he has died on the battlefield, but lost the territory, his crime is still the same, in Weichen's opinion, it is better to send his son Huang Xiaoer into battle, one to avenge his father, fight bravely, and secondly, to wash away the sins of his family. ”
The repayment of father's debts and son's debts is justified, which is very in line with the aesthetic values of the people of Liyang.
But as soon as the words were finished, before Liu Ye could speak, among the military generals, there was an old and serious general who stood up, clasped his fists, and said: "Weichen disagrees, although the young son of Huangshi Chong also has some courage, but he has never gone into battle to kill the enemy, but he is just a yellow-mouthed child, how can he take on this heavy responsibility." ”
As soon as these words came out, they were immediately echoed by countless martial arts halls.
Even Yuan Zhishan nodded, thinking that the military attaché, who still hadn't remembered his name, was really right, the matter of the battlefield was not as simple as talking on paper.
Although he also knew that the real purpose of the other party was to refuse to give up this military feat.
These Liyang generals, who have been idle for too long, are afraid that they have already burned in their hearts, and they have not been on the battlefield for so long, they are afraid that their weapons will rot in the arsenal.
Of course, the most important thing is.
Liyang, those who have no military merits cannot be knighted.
Liu Ye naturally saw such a simple truth, so he was a little impatient, waved his hand, and said, "Then everyone Aiqing thinks that who is qualified to lead this military horse and recover Daliang City for me?"
All the military attaches glanced at each other, stepped forward one after another, and shouted in unison: "We are all willing to share your majesty's worries!"
......
Everyone is willing to share your majesty's worries, but helplessly, there can only be one main general in the army.
After everyone's discussion, Sun Laozhu's eldest son, who is 30 years old this year and is known for his stability, was unanimously promoted.
On the second day of March, it was already early spring.
The spring breeze is gradually rising, and the grass and trees on both sides of the market are already glowing with lush spring colors.
The husband's voice came, adding to the spring sorrow.
In recent years, although there have been frictions at the border gates, it is difficult to have a major war in ten or eight years.
Those who have a slight rank in the army are all looking forward to it, hoping that the world will be in chaos tomorrow, so that they can seek fame and fortune and win a wife and son.
However, the number of places to lead troops to the expedition is limited, and they often have to pay for their own joints.
But even so, there are still countless bigwigs in the court, hoping to let their children and grandchildren go out, whether they die in battle or not, it is best to get a title.
Besides, this trip is to fight with those barbarians on the grassland, is it possible to lose?
So, after more than half a month of entanglement, this army, composed of Sun Lianshan as the main general, entangled with 27 forces, a full 60,000 people, led the emperor's order to set foot on the battlefield.
On the day of the expedition, all kinds of baggage trucks almost blocked Suzaku Avenue.
The ridiculous thing is that this place is three thousand miles away from Daliang City, and it is obvious that troops can be transferred from Fenghua Prefecture nearby, but a group of generals who have experienced a hundred battles think that this move is inappropriate, and they do not hesitate to spend money and send troops from near Chang'an.
But Liu Ye did not object, because in order to fight, these guys even paid for the military out of their own pockets, and they had no labor funds, which was also a good thing for him.
At least on the better look, it can be proved that there is no one in the Liyang army who is afraid of war from top to bottom.
Daliang City.
Compared with other cities in the Guannai, Daliang City is no different, revealing a desolate atmosphere everywhere.
The city wall, which was originally covered with moss, was mottled at the moment, dark in some places, red in others, but for these steppe warriors who patrolled the city back and forth, there was no difference between human blood and the blood of cattle and sheep.
Spring in Fenghuazhou is still cold and windy, even if the sun has some temperature at this time, it still can't stop the biting chill.
Tuoba Lie's face was a little pale, but his eyes still revealed an excitement that could not be concealed.
The fist wrapped in iron armor waved in the air, let out a sigh, stood on the city wall, looked condescendingly, and said excitedly: "Battle, do you see, this is the city, we finally have the first city, we will live here in the future, and with this place as a base, we can conquer the entire Central Plains." ”
Ulan Baatar stood on top of the city wall, his hand gently caressing the mottled stones, which revealed the breath of time, and was extremely old.
His eyes looked south, his pupils flashed with a wise light, and his expression was a little complicated.
"King, it's time for us to withdraw. ”
"What, why evacuate, we have killed a lot of people to fight this city. ”
Ulan Baatar shook his head and said, "Don't worry, we have already got the iron and food we want this time, enough to survive the next cold winter, if we stay here, with our current strength, sooner or later, we will perish." ”
"But just like that, I'm not reconciled. ”
"Don't worry, sooner or later, one day, we will come back, and at that time, we will sit in the palace of Chang'an City and drink and eat lambs. ”
......
Compared with the real chaos in the world in the future, the battle of Daliang City was a failure, but it was also insignificant.
But it's hard to ignore.
Because this is the beginning of troubled times.
Of course, more people call it - the apocalypse.
Chapter 252 of "There is Wine, a Sword and a Beauty"] Is there a passionate feeling in the beginning of chaos in the world?
The author [Luo Dawang] carefully conceived the classic excellent work [Kui Xingge] Chapter 252 of ["There is Wine, Sword, and Beauty"] Chapter 252 of the world's beginning chaos is a powerful work that netizens spontaneously reprinted
Chapter 252 of "There is Wine, Sword, and Beauty" The World Begins to Mess Books, I see this, I admire it, I don't admire our author, King Luo, of course, the best should be you
Actually, I just want to ask if this book is still qualified to enter your eyes, Chapter 252 of "There is Wine, Sword, and Beauty", the world is in turmoil, if it is not bad, you must not be stingy with your genuine support!
Next chapter preview: They are all businessmen, they do business outside all the year round, and they don't necessarily come back once a year or two, and I live with my grandfather on weekdays. Li Wenshuo smiled, feeling that he was thinking too much, there may be many misfortunes in the world, but not all of them may happen in front of his eyes. So he looked down at Shihuahua and said with a smile: "You are quite good, at a young age, you can make wine, it's really good." Hearing this, Shihuahua tilted her head, and a few straws on her fingers were skillfully rolled, and soon became a usable straw rope, which was very complicated and strange. "I stole all the wine from my grandfather, these are grandpa's treasures, he doesn't let me touch them on weekdays, so I steal it, although he knows, but he is reluctant to beat me, so sometimes he just let it go
Preview of the next two chapters: The crazy people who have gone crazy in a swarm, and like those hordes of greedy and terrifying ant colonies in the jungle of Hanzhou, are always an extremely terrifying thing. They were not afraid, so the soldiers of Liyang were afraid. In that battle, the charge of 5,000 light cavalry of the Tuoba Department crushed the formation of 60,000 Liyang troops. Of course, this kind of thing can not only be explained with courage, the war horses of the Tuoba Department are taller and faster than these so-called war horses from the south of Liyang, and they are often chiseled through when the formation of the Liyang army has not yet been rolled out. The soft bows and arrows thrown by the cavalry archers may have pierced through the leather armor of the enemy, but with the exception of a very few, they did not effectively suppress the cavalry charging at the front. All of them are galloped at high speed
Preview of the next three chapters: Once, Shangguan Yu and I drank at the foot of the mountain of the Demon Sect, drank too much, and were young and vigorous, so we made a bet on the pot of wine money, saying that whoever had the ability to kill the White Lotus monk would not have to pay for the wine. Originally, it was just a boring joke, but who knew that the reckless man had really drunk too much, and when he heard this, he went out with his sword in his hand, and when I reacted, the mountain was already full of sword energy. Thinking of this, Zhang Yuanyi smiled, and then said: "But it is obviously me who pursues the way of heaven, but this old horseman with a sword is one step ahead of me and goes to the sky, which is really angry with me." Zhang Baoding's brows furrowed slightly, he didn't expect that Master and this Shangguan Yu would have an intersection when they were young, and he was a little puzzled, and asked out loud: "Master, didn't you tell me since I was a child that monks can't drink."
Preview of the next four chapters: Why are you disobedient, such an old person, how good it is to stay in the Sword Pavilion honestly, you have to go out to fight and kill others. He has only one audience, and that is Yuan Zhishan. In fact, Yuan Zhishan didn't want to hear it, everyone knew that the more he knew about the emperor's family, the faster he would die. But there was no way, the emperor called him, and even if he was seriously ill, he had no reason to refuse. But he also felt sad about this, but it wasn't because of Liu Qing's death, this kind of Jianghu people who can only dance swords and play with swords and don't have much benefit to the country, even if they die, he doesn't care. However, after this battle, the loss in Nanjun City was too serious, and there were basically only a few complete houses left in a huge city, and the amount of money spent on repairing it was an astronomical amount. This point also made him extremely puzzled, it was just two people fighting, could they really make such a big move? But the matter has happened, and we have to find a way to remedy it, facing this mess, Liu Ye rubbed his temples and said coldly: "Strengthen the defense of the area around Shuzhong, and in addition, send some more foot soldiers to Shuzhong." "Your Majesty, in terms of starting and falling, the land of Shu is much stronger than ours. "Hmph, then what's the solution, aren't these children of the family so energetic that they fight in the city all day long, so they will be mixed with ordinary soldiers and sent over, and they will be rotated every two years!" Liu Ye spoke, whether it made sense or not, as a courtier, he had to carry it out, not to mention Yuan Zhishan
Preview of the next five chapters: Don't be complacent, even if my king fights for this old life today, he will cut off your head!" But the black-faced man ignored him completely, turned to look at the black-robed man who seemed to have nothing to do and walked by slowly, and said with a smile: "It's really not that the enemy doesn't get together, come, brothers, tie that kid up for me, sell it to the men's style hall, and it is estimated that it can be sold for a good price!" Following his gaze, Wang He and Wang Sheng were also taken aback, and said in their hearts, is this kid stupid, looking at the situation in front of him, he doesn't know how to hide, is he a blind man? Li Juexian is not blind, he just doesn't like to do meaningless things sometimes. So looking at the oncoming sword, there was no change in his face, and he didn't want to do it.
Preview of the next six chapters: Li Wenshuo didn't know why he was asking, he still had some expectations before, or it could be said that he was nervous and anxious, but since the eight-character Hu sergeant turned back and finished talking to him just now, these emotions have disappeared. Now he is very calm, but the murderous aura on the sword is still accumulating, according to Lao Huang, even if the sword can't pierce King Kong and not damage the body, the murderous aura attached to the sword can also hurt the other party. The sun was already on the horizon, and on the huge rocks behind the shed, the water of the mountain spring gradually seeped out of the cracks, and the hazy twilight stretched from the horizon to the mountains, and the water turned from clear and transparent to iron gray. The chicken broth in the jar had been simmering for quite some time, making a gurgling noise, and the aroma was coming through the cracks in the lid, trying to gather the last of the excess juice in the jar. The calm of a deep and sacred twilight envelops all around. Lao Huang raised his head and didn't hear footsteps, but he still saw the unusually young figure in a black robe, with a slightly complicated expression, but overall, his gaze was still firm. On the contrary, Li Wenshuo is still so calm, it is really poured At this time, a smile of relief appeared on the corner of his mouth like seeing an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time. Li Juexian also saw the two of them, and originally thought that what a fierce sword or unstoppable fist greeted him, but he didn't expect that both of them sat under the shed and didn't get up, so he simply walked over. Look at the eyes
Preview of the next seven chapters: In the surrounding air, there is no trace of freshness in the mountains and forests, the smell is abnormal, and the heart is suddenly a police cover, and he hurriedly drove the horse back two steps and opened the distance, only then did he see Lao Huang's appearance. "Who are you, blocking our way, what are you doing?" Looking at Zhao Gang's menacing appearance, Li Wenshuo was a little helpless, and said in his heart, Let's sit here and rest, when did we stop you? He didn't want to make things too complicated, because when Lao Huang felt that things were very troublesome, he was afraid that the three people in front of him would go down to be Li Juexian's companion. "I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to live from here, leave to buy road wealth!" shouted loudly
Preview of the next eight chapters: The third also knew what Li Wenshuo was thinking, and said with a smile: "Although everyone really looks down on them in the city on weekdays, but now that they are in trouble, they are all compatriots, and everyone is not short of this stutter, and I also donated ten taels of silver yesterday." When Li Wenshuo heard this, his heart became more transparent and comfortable, and he said with a smile: "Who said you are a killer, I think you are like a living bodhisattva than many people." Yang San also smiled, hurriedly waved his hand, and said: "Actually, it's not, it's mainly because when my employer asked me to kill someone yesterday, I made a mistake in killing someone, and I didn't want to go in my heart, so I thought about doing something good, and the unjust soul of the province came to trouble me." Li Wenshuo was stunned and a little helpless, and when they went back, Lao Huang and Zhou Bingyun had already packed their luggage. "I've seen my sister-in-law. As soon as Li Wenshuo gave up his hand, as soon as these words came out, he also shouted Lao Huang and Zhou Bingyun's faces flushed. However, Zhou Bingyun is obviously also a big person, took two steps forward, saluted and said: "I heard Lao Huang say that he will go to his brother's Zhuangzi in a few days to live, and he has caused trouble to his brother, so I am really sorry." Li Wenshuo smiled and said: "Sister-in-law is really out of sight when she says this, if I really feel troublesome, Lao Huang can't directly beat me to death." Hearing this, everyone smiled, and Lao Cao also stepped forward and took two steps forward, and said: "For a long time in the future, I estimate that I will stay in the Drunken Immortal Pavilion and can't get out, this hosta should be regarded as a gift for the two of you to marry in advance." ”
Preview of the next nine chapters: It is some of his own reverie and speculation about swordsmanship, and even talks about the two realms of breaking the army and Tianchong, some of which are purely wrong. In the eyes of people in the high realm, these words are just a joke, but for Li Wenshuo, some of them are no less than the previous general outline of Shushan swordsmanship. That Xianfeng swordsman may not be a martial arts genius, but he must be a person with an extremely rich imagination, Li Wenshuo thought. Before I knew it, the sun had set, and the sunset had rolled up from the pond and shone on the small door with dark red paint. Li Wenshuo closed the book, pushed the door out, only felt refreshed, walked a few steps towards the courtyard, and listened to the dull sound of wood clashing in his ears
Preview of the next ten chapters: With a bang, the iron sword once again shattered the small black flag. But this time, the small black flag did not continue to fly out of the fog, but the vigilance in Li Wenshuo's heart was almost at its peak, and he felt that danger was coming from all directions. Li Wenshuo naturally did not sit still, knowing that Lao Huang would do his best to protect the carriage behind him, he planned to step forward, after all, there was only a distance of 100 zhang, and for him, it was just a matter of charging. But as soon as he took a step with his right foot, he felt an extremely heavy pressure coming from top to bottom, like Tarzan pressing on the top. When I looked up slightly, I saw that the fog around me was gone, and there was an empty mountain road under my feet
This chapter summarizes the city of Chang'an.
The sunlight is just right, shining on the glazed tiles of the palace wall, reflecting dazzling light, and it is warm everywhere.
