Chapter 706: Two kings in Lingzhou City met secretly, and Jiang Songtao in Guangling died in battle.
In Xu Fengnian’s view, there are only three people who can be called lucky characters in the Liyang Dynasty. Of course, Emperor Zhao Zhuan was one, and then there was Chen Zhibao who was helping Xie Guanying with all his strength not far away. This white-clothed soldier saint lives in a corner of the southwest Shu area and is eyeing the Central Plains. Now he has instigated the prince of Western Shu Su and the old master Zhao Dingxiu, who should belong to the Northern Liang camp. With Nanzhao as a support, he is already full of wings and just waiting for the changes in the situation. Xu Fengnian could guess why Chen Zhibao met this time, because the third prodigal son who was expected to sit on the dragon throne was Zhao Zhu, the prince of the Prince of Yanla, the little beggar of that year. Then the next pattern is similar to the previous emperor Zhao Dun’s eight dragons fighting for the throne. Beiliang can play an important role without getting involved. If Chen Zhibao wants to go out of Western Shu with just a legitimate reason, he must take advantage of the general trend of Western Chu restoration and become the decisive figure who preceded the army in the southern border to break through the capital of Western Chu. Beiliang will play a key role in this matter of “achievement but failure is enough.” If Xu Fengnian was determined to restrain the troops in Western Shu, then the possibility of Zhao Zhu succeeding would be far greater than Chen Zhibao. Of course, Xishu is definitely not asking others for help this time, but has to make a hidden exchange. As long as Beiliang does not drag Western Shu into the Central Plains, then when they come to Western Shu, they will not cause fire in the backyard of Beiliang during the Liangmang War. This requires the tacit understanding between Shu and Liang. If they all agree, then everyone will be happy, but as long as one of Xu Fengnian and Chen Zhibao is unwilling to take a step back, it will be after today. Both sides will completely break up and die. Beiliang is attacked from both sides, and Western Shu will also miss the opportunity and lose the best move to the Central Plains to fight for the Lu. Perhaps it is an embarrassing situation of slowing down step by step.
This transaction is very likely to determine the ownership of the entire Central Plains, and may even be the surname of the entire world. Otherwise, with Chen Zhibao’s nature, how could he return to Beiliang and take the initiative to meet Xu Fengnian, and it was Xie Guanying who was most likely to instigate him. He finally convinced the white-clothed soldier to go out to Sichuan and Liang.
Maybe thank you, really, is Chen Zhibao’s confidant. She knows the importance of this meeting, so even if she makes fun of Xu Fengnian and smashes her with a hammer, she doesn’t shy her face.
The group entered this Jiangnan-style shepherd house. Xu Fengnian and Chen Zhibao walked side by side at the front, followed by Dan Tai Pingjing and Xie Xie, and finally Xie Guanying and Xu Yanbing. Huyan Daguan and Tiemudier did not follow. Huyan Daguan said that it didn’t seem like he was about to start working. He had to go to the streets of Lingbei City to buy some strange objects and give them to his wife and daughter, and then the great master of Beimang martial arts left directly. In fact, Huyan Daguan had already made it clear to Xu Fengnian in Qingliang Mountain before this trip to Lingzhou that he would not help Beiliang kill anyone, but once Xu Fengnian was in danger of his life, he would rescue him. Of course, Xu Fengnian would not be demanding anything about this. When it comes to Huyan Daguan, a martial artist who is extremely close to Wang Xianzhi’s realm, unless he is like Xu Yanbing and Cao Changqing.There are too many concerns that cannot be let go, otherwise no one will care about the world. For example, Mr. Deng, although he has a relative with Xu Fengnian, he still doesn’t want to ignore the trend of the Liangmang battle. The same is true for Sui Xiegu. The reason why he stayed in Beiliang is probably because he was just thinking about occasionally showing his face to ask for scolding by Dan Tai Pingjing.
Putting aside the weak thank you, the Beiliang side is Xu Fengnian, whose realm is damaged, Xu Yanbing, who is “only half a step away” and Dan Tai Pingjing, who is the first Qi Refiner. In the Western Shu side, Chen Zhibao, who is not sure whether he has become a saint, and Xie Guanying, who ranks first in the land god map.
It should be evenly matched.
Six people sat down in the quiet courtyard. Thank you, as a woman who has been on the rouge list twice, there are so many praiseworthy “unique skills”. Among them, she says that she makes tea “Yuhua Tea”. Thank you for your hands, you have the reputation of “lotus bud” and are proficient in tea ceremony. Countless Taoist real people in Shu praised his tea for being “simple and clean, with high rhyme and quietness. When you drink it, the breeze rises on both armpits, it is like flying as if the feathers are ascending.” Thank you for the tea leaves used to make tea at this time, which is the most precious Ming Dynasty Spring Tea, the most precious tea. The tea utensils and tea sets she brought from Chuntie Caotang were scattered, with as many as eighteen pieces. It must be the whole set of priceless “Eighteen Bachelors”. Even Xu Fengnian had to admit that the tea cooking of the Western Shu woman in front of her was indeed pleasing to the eye, and her every move was full of charm. The most important thing was that it contained a sense of forgetting. No wonder the Taoist priests in Western Shu highly praised her.
Xie Guanying first drank a sip of tea. After putting the cup, he took the lead in breaking the silence. There was no polite greeting or politeness in his heart. Instead, he went straight to the topic: “Cao Changqing knew that Western Chu would fight to Tai’an City in one go, and he could not lose a single battle, otherwise the entire Guangling Road situation would take a sharp turn. At present, the Modao Formation, which was born from the eleventh century, had been surfaced, and several field cavalry troops as the main force also appeared. In addition to the 60,000 naval troops, the Western Chu land forces had 170,000. On the surface, it was comparable to the imperial army led by Lu Shengxiang in the north and the 100,000 troops in the southern border. However, war has never been a battle of numbers on paper. Zhao Bing’s southern border army generally had a much better combat power than Western Chu.”
Xu Fengnian drank a sip of tea, which was really refreshing. He swung his fingers and said with a smile: “The situation is still flat. Cao Changqing’s navy will definitely annex the navy of Zhao Yi, the king of Guangling. After the merger, the Guangling River with Guangling Navy will greatly block the footsteps of the southern army. Xie Xi’s western frontier has 170,000 powerful soldiers of Western Chu, and Lu Shengxiang, who is at a disadvantage in the army, with a great chance of victory. Then it depends on whether the Qingzhou navy can help the troops in the southern border cross the chasm, otherwise Cao Changqing will attack all the way to Tai’an City, and Gu Jiantang’s two Liao border troops will also go south… This is also the reason why the Taiping Order made the two Nabo, the easternmost line of Beimang, and why did he show the enemy to Yuan Tingshan, Jibei, to show that the enemy was weak. Under this rapid development, except for Gu Jiantang, the other forces seemed to be far-reaching and intimidating.”
Xie Guanying seems to be confident and calmHe shook his head and said, “The Qingzhou Navy may not be invincible, and Lu Shengxiang is definitely not an ordinary person.”
Xu Fengnian looked at the middle-aged man with white hair and wandered thousands of miles for a moment. She is worthy of being a white fox-faced father. She is so old that she can still make women excited. As for the outstanding aura, it seems that only the great official Cao Changqing can compare with him. It is really not a lie to have a poetic and literary spirit. In contrast, those authentic people in the martial arts world, the old man with sheepskin fur, Deng Tai’a, and Hu Yan Daguan, are all separated by 108,000 miles. Of course, Old Man Li, who was young, was invincible in the world, whether it was a sword or a human.
Xie Guan responded to such a distracted young vassal king, laughing a little, and glanced at the man in white who always looked calm beside him, thinking no wonder Zhao Changling chose him with the surname Chen instead of His Royal Highness Xu.
Xu Fengnian smiled apologized and asked curiously: “Mr. Xie had already planned in the Qingzhou Navy. This is not surprising, but if I remember correctly, Lu Shengxiang left the Chunxue Tower in Guangling at that time, which was the instruction of Yuan Benxi. He would agree to give up the merits of entering and leaving the city at that time, which means whether Lu Shengxiang can go from General Liyang to Minister of War. After all, in the future dynasties, what kind of general is just a little nicer, and the Secretary with real power is the hottest thing.”
Xie Guanying smiled and asked, “Even if Lu Shengxiang wanted to be the King of Northern Liang who had made the Central Plains in one fell swoop, can he do it just by doing it? Besides, today is different from the past. Even if he successfully besieged the city, he still needs to be busy fighting with the young prince in southern Xinjiang.”
Thank you for the man who keenly noticed her admiration and frowned quietly.
When she is cooking tea, she can forget herself, but she will never forget him.
Most women in the world are like this. No matter how gods come out of the world, a man finally lets them return to the world and is willing to add fragrance to his plain hands.
Xu Feng laughed young and said, “So, the late emperor Zhao Dun died too early, otherwise Mr. Xie would not have to be so sad.”
Xie Guanying nodded and said, “If the late emperor was alive, I would not be in Lingzhou now, but in the Qingzhou Navy.”
Everyone knows that Zhao Dun has a bright eye for Chen Zhibao. Naturally, if Zhao Dun was not dead, he would not have politely refused Chen Zhibao’s “only” 10,000 people under Chen Zhibao’s command to quell the rebellion like today.
The Zhao Shi served two emperors in succession, and some things were passed down from generation to generation. For example, Zhao Zhuan treated Beiliang like the previous emperor, and always tried to consume Beiliang’s military power to the greatest extent without affecting the stability of the Central Plains. Otherwise, as long as the Xu family in Beiliang is still there, the reduction of the vassal states would become a big joke. But some things have changed quietly, such as the attitude towards King Chen Zhibao of Shu. Zhao Dun is an almost paranoid trust and appreciation. As an emperor who considers himself enlightened, he is extremely intoxicated by the knot of “the state has no good generals, and he will drive me.” Zhao Zhuan turns to fearand suspicion.
Xie Guanying, who had been reunited as an old friend, shook his head and refused to pour tea. His momentum suddenly changed and his tone gradually became cold: “I had previously interpreted the situation of the Northern Liang Dynasty with the King of Shu. If the prince was regarded as an ordinary official, it would be just a middle and lower level. If the prince had not built a big city in the northern Chongzhongnan of Liangzhou, then there would be no middle and lower level.”
Xu Fengnian smiled and did not speak.
