Chapter 687 The four kingdoms teamed up to create a situation, and Xu Fengnian commented on the romanticism
He whispered: “The next time I appear outside Tai’an City, I will tell the people of the world that there was no beauty in the Great Chu back then.”
On this day, the Confucian saint realm of the great official Cao Changqing went from the king’s way to the domineering power.
Xu Fengnian and Yuan Zuozong squatted side by side on the top of a hill while the entire army was resting. Xu Fengnian turned his head and said, “If the 300,000 border troops in Beiliang today are not surnamed Xu, but surnamed Chen, then Beiliang will definitely die fewer people.”
Yuan Zuozong did not deny: “Many people think so in their hearts, and I am no exception.”
Xu Fengnian stretched out his hand and put it on the sand: “But Li Yishan said that once Beiliang is handed over to Chen Zhibao, there is only one situation, that is, Beiliang is better and the world is worse.”
Yuan Zuozong was a little confused.
Xu Feng laughed young and said, “Brother Yuan, let me keep it a secret first. I hope that one day I can help my master prove that he is not wrong.”
Yuan Zuozong smiled and said, “I’ll wait, don’t worry.”
Remembering the withered scholar who lived in Tingchao Pavilion and scattered ashes on the border after his death, Xu Fengnian closed his eyes and said in his heart, “Master, don’t worry.”
Xu Fengnian originally planned to separate from Yu Luandao and Youqi at the northern junction of Liangyou, and then headed to the Beiliang Protectorate where Chu Lushan was located. However, there was an emergency spy that Yan Wenluan was already on the way to come and wanted to interview him for military affairs. So Xu Fengnian chose a compromise geographical location and asked the infantry commander who held more than 100,000 border troops in Beiliang to wait for him in Yanzhi County. When Yu Dilong heard that he was going to Yanzhi County, the depressed child who had been going all the way finally had a smile. It’s a pity that when he learned that Xu Fengnian and Yan Wenluan had made an appointment with him in the county town, instead of the Bishan County where his master had served as chief clerk for a while, Yu Dilong became silent again, feeling a sense of loss of not entering the house. Xu Fengnian stayed in an elegant house carefully arranged by the Fushui Room late at night. The group stepped across the threshold before they stepped on the front of them, and behind them, a sudden rain sounded the sound of raindrops hitting the roof and courtyard walls.
Xu Fengnian was not sleepy. After arriving at the study room with a lot of books, he stood at the window and looked at the rain in the yard. It was probably just like the ancients said, and I remember the most about my youth late at night. Xu Fengnian remembered many young and frivolous actions for no reason, such as stamping the word “fake” on no less than a hundred authentic works of famous artists who had been handed over, spending a lot of money on foreign lands who passed through the jurisdiction of Beiliang. I still remember that a famous Jiangnan scholar who scolded Beiliang for half his life as a shortcut to Zhongnan in the officialdom was unwilling to be angry that he had many wealthy poems and poems passed down from generation to generation after he was in high positions. He even sent someone a post letter. The general meaning is that if you are praised by someone for being “graceful and elegant”, you cannot be regarded as a thing that is really rich. If you really want to be rich, you will not talk about fine wine, delicacies, gold, silver, pearls and jade. What is “lazy pillow, cool jade”, it is all about poverty. Xu Fengnian finally wrote a sentence in the letter, “I heard about a thousand banana leaves when the rain comes.Sound, rain went to sit and watch the lake’s 10,000 brocade. I heard that the elderly celebrity Shilin was very angry when he saw the letter, and then quickly wrote a letter to impeach him. First, the banana tree was not cold-resistant, and the branches and leaves were cracked when they were exposed to the wind. It was not easy to see a single plant in the northwest. There was actually a “thousand sound” in Qingliang Mountain, which is one thousand trees. Therefore, this person concluded that “It must be that King Xu Xiao of Northern Liang embezzled military pay, fed his personal pockets, completely ignored the major affairs of the border, and had to blame the emperor for his grace. He should be stripped of the title.” Of course, at that time, such “righteous” memorials were included in the Liyang court for a year, and the late emperor Zhao Dun ignored it, but there was no restraint. Xu Fengnian clearly remembered that after sending the letter, he caused a lot of heated discussion in the Jiangnan Dao literary scholars, and scolded him and Xu Xiao Scolding Beiliang. Xu Weixiong, the second sister who had just gone to the Yin Academy to study, replied to his family letter, saying that Xu Fengnian wrote a mess, but in the end she wrote a letter to the famous scholar himself, and then all the famous scholars in Jiangnan clamped their tails. However, Xu Xiao later used some means to ask his son for alcohol in Wutongyuan, and was so flattering that he had asked Li Yishan for advice for a long time before he understood what the meaning of “a thousand banana leaves” meant. After drinking high, he was overwhelmed by those few sentences, saying that he was really happy, his son was better than him, and he read more. Look, he could write poetry, and he would definitely be a vassal king who was more competent and more convinced than Xu Xiao.
Even though Xu Fengnian had a memory that was far superior to ordinary people, because of his casualness and coping at that time, he didn’t remember Xu Xiao’s words and expressions very much. However, Xu Xiao had an action, even after so many years, his memory became deeper and clearer. It was Xu Xiao who was drunk and unsteadily walked away from Wutong Courtyard, and put away the letter from Jiangnan Road to Qingliang Mountain from the wine table, and carefully put it in his sleeves. At that time, Xu Fengnian was a little puzzled. In your life, you, Xu Xiao, will be gradually towards the glorious officialdom of a great minister, even so many imperial edicts that have been promoted and awarded were always piled up indiscriminately. One letter sent to others is still something that is swearing, which is worth taking it seriously.
Xu Fengnian stood at the window and did not sleep all night. It seemed that it was a new morning in the blink of an eye. Last night, the rain fell three times intermittently, and the vision was blurred at dawn. Xu Fengnian looked up and saw that the last sudden rain had just stopped. The sky was still covered with dark clouds. However, as time passed, the sunlight casted columnar light through the gap between the dark clouds, sprinkling on the earth. The dull collision sound came from the courtyard next door, which was Yu Dilong and Lu Yunchang, who had not followed the snow dragon cavalry to the northern line of Liangzhou. The two apprentices did not use weapons, and fought in close combat. Both sides fisted to the flesh, and the loss was to who could not bear it first. Not long after, the oldest but could only be the junior brother, Lu Yunchang, shouted to get the big frost long sword. Perhaps the youngest but the eldest brother’s Yu Dilong ignored it, and the courtyard returned to silence. Xu Fengnian was a little regretful. It was not that he “loved” like an official fan in martial arts, nor that he was deeply involved in the invincible world, but that he could not extricate himself from the feeling of being invincible in the world, but that he was still at the peak of his realm.At that time, outside the gourd mouth, I would not have been able to stop myself when I heard that the Beimang Emperor had Hong Jingyan, Zhongliang and Murong Baoding as the back-ups. But then again, if Xu Fengnian was still the well-deserved New Martial Emperor, Taiping Ling, Tuoba Qiyun and others would not have appeared. Xu Fengnian estimated that he was fighting against others at the moment. In terms of realm, Xu Fengnian was still thin, and he was bigger than a horse. He was only a little lost to the six people, including Tuoba Bodhisattva, Deng Tai’a, Cao Changqing, Xu Yanbing, Huyan Daguan and Chen Zhibao. But if it is against life and death at this time, Xu Fengnian will put a person with a sharp reputation today among the top three – Gu Jiantang.
Xu Fengnian walked out of the study and stood on the steps. An old man in armor who looked very short and thin compared to the cool guy strode into the yard alone. Xu Fengnian did not deliberately act like sweeping the bed to greet him. When the old man with iron armor still had traces of rain on his body walked up the steps, Xu Fengnian walked towards the study with him. There was a pot of hot tea on the table, but there were no tea cups, but two large bowls. It was Yan Wenluan’s one-eyed old man who poured a bowl and drank it all in one go.
Then Yan Wenluan held her fists on her knees, looking at Xu Fengnian opposite her, as if she was about to seek a crime. Xu Fengnianjing waits for the following article. This veteran is the largest mountain in the Northern Liang army. After the fall of the former cavalry commander Zhong Hongwu, Yuan Zuozong’s succession was still short of his time. Yan Wenluan, who always firmly grasped the power of the Northern Liang infantry, was unique. However, many border soldiers and the people of Northern Liang do not know a secret: the Northern Liang army, or more accurately, should be the Xu family army, were invisibly divided into two factions from the beginning. One faction was led by Li Yishan, a “moderate” strategist. After the Battle of the West Bulletin, Xu Xiao advocated that he would go north and return to Beijing immediately; the other faction took the more radical Zhao Changling as the core, and after taking half of the country with one go, he tried his best to advocate separatist and self-defense to plan the river and govern, share the world with the Liyang Zhao family north and south, and finally fought a war similar to the West Bulletin to determine the ownership of the world. This potential division spread to the title of kings and vassals after Xu Xiao. Among them, Xu Fengnian’s uncle Wu Qi was disheartened at that time and chose to leave the army. There were Xu Pu who later hid his identity in Dunhuang City, Beimang. Many people under the two famous generals were equally voluntarily and left Xu Xiao from then on. It can be said that Li Yishan’s victory was just a miserable victory. In the eyes of many old people who are still in the Northern Liang army, this means that Li Yishan created Xu Xiao’s pattern of “family in Northern Liang, Zhao Tianxia”. It cannot be said wrong, but it is very moderate. More importantly, Zhao Changling’s death was young due to illness, which led to the loss of the backbone of this sect. In addition, many people promoted by Zhao Changling, the head of the Northern Liang army, led by Yan Wenluan, a famous general in the Spring and Autumn Period, has always been reluctant and dared to get involved in the “family affairs” of the Xu family. It also decided that many years later, Chen Zhibao rode alone to Western Shu like anger.
Yan Wenluan suddenly sighed, poured herself a bowl of tea, thought about it, and poured the bowl in front of Xu Fengnian. The old man picked up the big bowl and sighed softly: “For so many years, I have been feeling a knot in my heart. I have been going to Qingliang Mountain so many times, but I have deliberately not been to Chaoge to pay homage.Meet Mr. Li. The general persuaded me once and gave me a bad excuse to make excuses. After that, the general would not mention this. “
Xu Fengnian did not make up for the trouble and said something calm and gentle, but said straight to the point: “My master never regretted his decision back then. He has always believed that if he fought for the world, Xu Xiao and the Xu family cavalry would not have this trend, and those who want to become ministers of the dragon would have a delusion. It was not because Xu Fengnian disrespects Mr. Zhao, nor because I was standing and talking without a back pain or being good at it. In the Tingchao Pavilion, the master, Wang Jijiu, and my second sister, the three of them had repeated deductions after repeated deductions, and the conclusions were the same. “
Yan Wenluan had a complicated expression. She drank a sip of tea, shook the big white bowl, and smiled self-deprecatingly: “At that time, the prince was at the critical moment of inheritance, I, Yan Wenluan, also guessed who was to use to establish his authority. After thinking about it, there was one of the most likely and the other most unlikely. The former is what makes me, an annoying old guy, who is obedient and returns to the field to retire and retire with peace of mind. The most unlikely thing is to take down General Huaihua, because regardless of his character, Zhong Hongwu has always been an important role used by the general to restrain me and Chen Zhibao in the eyes of the capital. “
Xu Fengnian said calmly: “If it was still a peaceful and prosperous era, I would definitely choose Zhong Hongwu. Even after he withdrew from the border army, he would choose a confidant as the guru of the Northern Liang Dynasty. He would also try to make Yan Wenluan lose his integrity in his later years, slowly cut off his wings, and drive away Mr. Zhao’s legacy, so that Chen Zhibao completely becomes a lonely person with “the authority can be possessed but not great”. Chen Zhibao’s imprint in the Northern Liang army will naturally fade away. ”
