Chapter 563 A charcoal soldier stopped the girl on a rainy night, and the man who set the bowl came out of nowhere.
After Xu Fengnian met Chen Yao, the old real man in charge of the precepts, he lived next to the Xixiang Pool where the sword was practiced. He did not deliberately restrain the room for space and let the child wander around the mountain. Most of the time, Xu Fengnian sat quietly on the huge rocks in the pond, and finally stopped the signs of the collapse of the qi in his body, and the “water surface of the pond” slowly rose. During this period, the post cavalry sent the relatively important red copies of Wutongyuan to the mountain. In his spare time, Xu Fengnian would carefully browse every official document. In addition to the post cavalry conveying important government affairs, the secrets of border military operations were handed over to the experienced spies from Fushuifang to Wudang Mountain from the border. The spies are mixed with some new masters in the martial arts world, and they have been screened by the big spy leader Chu Lushan. It is unrealistic to ask these people to go to the battlefield to fight to the death, but if you want to do some relaxed and leisurely tasks, it will still be popular. Choosing the people of the Jianghu to be elite postmen was one of the suggestions put forward by Wang Luting, who took over the Jinlu Weaving Bureau from Li Xifeng. In addition, the Jinlu Weaving Bureau, located in Lingzhou, has set up weaving departments in the other three prefectures. It cannot personally participate in local officials, anti-theft and impeachment, but can help Qingliangshan secretly report and supervise various affairs. At the same time, it was at the suggestion of Wang Luting that there were more than 20 academies in the three prefectures of Lianglingyou. Under the leadership of three literary leaders, three “Kuiwen” with no genres were selected every month. The winners directly obtained an official position in Beiliangdao. There is something interesting here. The Wenhao, who is in charge of reviewing literature in Liangzhou, is not someone else, but Wang Chudong who wrote “The Snow in the First Field”. However, the articles that actually handed over to Xu Fengnian were more of those “abused articles” that criticized current affairs with sharp words. Although many of the writings were biased and even ruthless, these scholars quietly named the files of Wutongyuan. They themselves did not know that many of the resentful works that were thrown into the wastebasket and those wrinkled manuscripts would appear on the desks of Wutongyuan, Qingliangshan, in a few days.
The hut where Xu Fengnian lived temporarily was almost on the lanterns at night.
On a late night of storm and thunder, after reading all the Beiliang spies and Liyang diary sent, Xu Fengnian picked out three copies and spread them on the table. A copy from Huaiyang Pass, where the border guards are located, was written by Chu Lushan. It is said that the handwriting is like the person, but Chu Lushan’s handwriting is extremely delicate and gentle, and it is simply a woman’s handwriting, which is really impossible to associate with his bloated body shape. The secret letter reported the general process of the refugees in Liuzhou ascended to the army. After Beiliang Road relaxed the border ban, a peak of refugees entering the country was seen. The number of people passing through the border reached 4,000 in one month. However, few people chose to enter the Beiliang army, which was almost negligible. It was only when the news came out that Xu Fengnian, the King of Beiliang, had killed Wang Xianzhi, was propelled by the new Liuzhou governor Yang Guangdou, finally ushered in a large crowd. Within a short ten-day period, six thousand people took the initiative to go to the border to join the army.
Although the continuous smoke of gunpowder in the 20 years of Spring and Autumn has long proved that the generals who have never lived forever have a long time, but a army of troops will have no enemy as the backbone., completely different. Xu Fengnian, Chu Lushan, Yuan Zuozong and others did not think that the fierce refugees could form their own army in Liuzhou, nor did they believe that they could defend the impact of the Beimang cavalry. Tens of thousands of refugees are indeed ready to fight, but a mature army can only be defeated by one or two percent of them. After the war is damaged, these refugees seem to be huge in number. When they really fight, they will not only encounter strong enemies vulnerable, but they may even disperse the original formation of Beiliang. Therefore, the best situation is to disperse these refugees and send them to the border army, and then transfer some elite troops from Beiliang to Liuzhou as the mainstay for Liuzhou to resist the Beimang cavalry’s southward advance in the future. But this kind of thing cannot be forced. Although refugees can have food and clothing after joining the army, they are just a trick to tie their heads to their belts. No one is stupid. It is better to live without a single death.
Xu Fengnian laughed at himself: “The title of the best in the world is still very useful.”
The secret letter also mentioned various frictions between refugees and old soldiers after joining the army. Some even couldn’t bear the humiliation, killed people in anger, and almost caused a mutiny. In the letter, Chu Lushan said that as long as those refugees participated in it, they would be executed.
Xu Fengnian sighed. Although the refugees who survived from the dead were brave and brave, they did not dare to make trouble in the Beiliang army. Naturally, the old soldiers of the border army who looked down on the refugees in their hearts had extreme actions. It can be said that the death of these refugees was extremely frustrating and unjust. But Xu Fengnian did not want to change Chu Lushan’s decision. Without rules, there is no order. In the military camp, old soldiers bullied new soldiers on a large scale, which is a bad habit that no general leads the army. Old soldiers on the border bullied new refugees and were punished. However, if the new refugee soldiers violated the rules and violated the rules, they would be killed. If the refugees want to have a chance to make a comeback, they only have one chance, that is, to fight in the future, win the sincere respect of the old soldiers, and regard it as a brother’s robe. Apart from this, there is no second way to go.
The second one comes from Wutongyuan. Li Yang destroyed the Buddha in great success, and there were many displaced monks entering the country, as if they were crossing the river, and mud and sand were inevitable. Naturally, no one would be the enlightened monk who was determined to be Buddha and not to attract dust. The reason for practicing Buddhism is that you have never become a Buddha. Among them, there are many famous monks who are used to being generous and living a life of luxury. They ask the government for the “treasure land” exempted from taxes from the government, namely praying for Xu Fengnian, the King of Northern Liang. There was a dispute in Wutong courtyard. The chief Xu Weixiong’s opinion was that not only could not open this opening, but he also ordered local governments to severely rebuke these monks and expel these monks. Lu Chengyan’s meaning was to openly comfort and pay attention in secret, and not agree, and just drag it on, so there was no need to tear the face.
Xu Fengnian rubbed his temples and smiled bitterly, “A thunder method and a bodhisattva’s heart seem to be right. Just pretend that you didn’t see this thing.”
The third one is very interesting, from Liyang, with many storms and twists and turns in the middle, and finally entering Beiliang. In addition to the silver that can make the devil push the mill, there is also a lot of luck. There is a Yanjiao Lake between Guangling Road and Nanjing Capital. It is an artificial lake dug after Liyang unified the world. It is said to be used to suppress the legacy of the dragons left by Western Chu.gas. There is an island in the lake, and warehouses are built on the island, surrounded by heavy troops, and they specially store yellow books built every five years in the dynasty states, recording the household registration, arable land and tax service situations in Liyang. But people don’t know that in addition to the yellow book under the head of the Ministry of Revenue in Beijing, there is also a more obscure file. In addition to the chief minister of the dynasty, not to mention the various departments, even the two chief officials of the Secretariat and Menxia Province cannot be mentioned, that is, the book of the army in various places. This is due to the fact that when the late emperor ordered the compilation of the “Shima Duties” that he had to propose the exact number of cultivated land in the world and keep the military secrets. So he took a compromise method and placed the yellow list of military fields under many ministries and prefectures. Guangling Road is a granary in the world and is quite hidden, but the number of fields in both Liaonings is surprisingly large, which is undoubtedly the reason why this book is hung. Liu Mao, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, asked for a list from Zhao Siqi, the Gongliang Hou in charge of Yanjiao Lake. The royal family impeached a copy as usual. Liu Mao, who later realized it, apologized for guilt one after another, but still failed to keep the right assistant minister’s official hat. He was exiled to the wilderness of Yanladao, a wild place full of miasma, and eventually died of old age.
This time, the revival of Western Chu Kingdom was affected, and Yanjiao Lake began to move northward on a large scale. There were many original books in this intermediate book, but many copies of the program were released for no reason. Most of them flowed into Guangling Road, and a small number of them were scattered among the people. The Beiliang spies placed in the territory bought and snatched from a group of people in the martial arts world and got a pill.
The number in the yellow book is dead, but those who are interested can see many living things.
Xu Fengnian and Fushuifang were asked to get a large pile of spies about Guangling Daojun Town over the years. Xu Fengnian originally knew that the Emperor of the Zhao family appointed Sun Xiji, the old teacher of Xichu, as the commander of the military commander. It seemed that he would let the tiger return to the mountain, but in fact he asked you to go into the jar to catch the turtle of big and small in the jar. But looking at the truth carefully considered, Xu Fengnian could be sure that the garrison generals who spoke to the soldiers who shouted that the court was short of wages were all right, saying that the court was too partial to the defense line between the two Liaos, but in fact they were just filling their own pockets. Under the leadership of Zhang Julu and Wang Xionggui, the Minister of Revenue, who was extremely good at “turning stones into gold”, the imperial court did not treat the troops in the territory at all. It is not surprising that the local garrisons are clamoring and can shout that children have milk, but in Xu Fengnian’s opinion, the food appearance of the Guangling Dao masters is really far from shocking. But this is also Zhang Julu’s own fruit. It was him who created the situation where “the southerners go north to become ministers, and the northerners go south to become generals”. Although this move separated the two wealthy clan groups of Jiangnan and the northern regions from their respective localities, after the northern generals arrived at Guangling Road, they had their neighbors and families close to the Zhao family’s Longxing land as their backers. These warriors who believed they were the warriors who had made their fathers’ success. They could get better at eating Guangling Road and also the fertile land for the imperial court to exploit. They would be afraid of it for more than ten years, almost every real power position, ranging from two to four. Everyone took turns to take turns to search. Who cares about the livelihood and public opinion in the country?
Xu Feng said in a young voice: “Too much is not enough.”r>
Xu Fengnian stood up and walked to a wall, where a geographical situation map covering the old Chu border and the entire southern part of the capital was hung on it.
If the name is not upright, the words will not go well, and if the words are not upright, the things will not go well.
Now both Liyang and Western Chu are justified. The former has the power to quell the rebellion, while the latter has raised the banner of orthodox Central Plains. This is not two hundred years after the destruction of the country, but only twenty years later. When Western Chu destroyed the country, even historians believed that “the fault was not the emperor, ministers, and people.” The destruction of Western Chu was regarded as “the sinking of the land in China” by countless scholars.
Xu Fengnian looked at the map. Unlike the general rough territory map, the mountains, rivers, geography and pass military towns were very detailed. As long as it was possible to become a place for military use, there was no omission. The number of armor and households in various places were clearly marked, and there were often temporary changes.
On this map, there are very hidden movements and stillness. What are still there are the soldiers and horses of the Jingnan vassal kings, Lu Shengxiang, the minister of the Ministry of War who was temporarily appointed as the general, the 40,000 elite soldiers led by Yang Shenxing, and the 30,000 cavalry leaders led by Yan Zhenchun.
The Youlu Pass where Lu Shengxiang is located is said to be difficult to get out of military orders.
Yang Shenxing was in the Western Henan area, staring at the old general of the Spring and Autumn Period, but behind the butt, he was accompanied by a large group of hungry princes and princesses. Xiyu has many mountains, mixed with many rivers, many east-west and west-west pores and valleys. It is neither a place of death for military strategists nor a lonely place, and it is a joint spirit.
