Chapter 782 The Deliberation Hall intensified the debate, and the Northern Liang army defeated the Mangkou
“But now around me, there are Chen Yunchui, Zhou Kang, Yuan Nanting, Qi Dangguo, Ning Emei, and Gu Dazu, who was present at that time; to the north, there are Chu Lushan at Huaiyang Pass; to the east, there are Yan Wenluan’s infantry and Yu Luandao’s cavalry, Hu Kui and Huangfu Ping, and in the mouth of Hulu, there are two heavy cavalry troops led by Yuan Zuozong of the Northern Liang; to the west, there are Xu Longxiang Li Mofan and Wang Lingbao’s dragon elephant army, Yang Guangdou and Chen Liangxi’s Liuzhou governor’s mansion; to the south, there are more, not the local civil and military officials in Beiliang, and even thousands of scholars from other places!
“The retired Wei Tieshan, Liu Yuanji and others, among them, also the old Zu Lin Doufang, have clearly stated that they will return and return to the Northern Liang border army. “
Xu Fengnian suddenly smiled and said, “Is there any such story in history books about Beiliang fighting against a country in one place? It is the civil officials in Liyang. We don’t care. They write whatever they like, but at least I think in the past few years, everyone here will strive to survive and nag about their descendants and juniors’ military career back then.
“It’s probably just like Xu Xiao nagging me in those years.
“If anyone here dies in battle, there will be no blessing to show off to young people. “
Xu Fengnian said this and looked at Zhou Kang: “For example, if you Zhou Kang died in battle, I believe there will be an old man named Gu in the future. If you meet a young man named Zhou, you may sit down and chat a few words and drink wine. The old man named Zhou Kang in your family was always unpleasant, but… he was a hero who was willing to die for Beiliang. “
Xu Fengnian’s expression appeared for a moment in a daze, and then he smiled and said, “If I die in battle and who among you survives, then please tell your descendants that Beiliang was defeated by the death, not by losing without fighting. “
The Chongzhong Army Town, located behind Huaiyang Pass, is different from Liuya and Fuling. It is mostly infantry guarding the city, but compared with Huaiyang Pass, which has natural dangers to support, it seems a little lack of confidence. In fact, on this line of defense, the guards of Chongzhong Army Town have never been able to stand up very hard against the other three colleagues with the same ranks, and they never speak loudly. Liuya and Fuling Town have always been stationed with a considerable number of border cavalrymen. The chief generals of the two towns have some connection with the two cavalry deputy commanders today. Chongzhong is the awkward character of the grandmother who does not love his uncle. It clearly belongs to the Beiliang cavalry sequence, but there are more infantrymen, but they are not related to Gu Dazu’s line and cannot hold on to him. When Huaiyang Pass became the location of the Protectorate, Chongzhong Army Town, like a stepmother, became more and more inconspicuous.
Xu Fengnian lives in a villa that has just been cleaned up. The courtyard is not big, but it is better than Yajing, almost filled with powerful military towns in the border areas of Liangzhou. It is not easy to find such a courtyard at the moment. After Xu Fengnian stayed in the courtyard, he sent a signal worth chewing and savoring to the heavy tomb.The Qingfan King did not summon the Jinquqiu Zhou Kang, who respectfully sent His Royal Highness to the capital with hundreds of soldiers in his early years, nor did he summon Gu Dazu, who had a unique vision in the grasslands of the Central Plains. Even Qi Dangguo, who was the adopted son of the general, was not summoned, but called Ning Emei, who was born in the Fengying camp, to drink together in the yard.
Ning Emei, the new deputy general of Tiefutu, is still the interesting man with a rough appearance and delicate voice. However, she is more reasonable and restrained than her free and easy temperament back then. After all, the young man sitting and drinking face to face is no longer the prince of the whole of Beiliang.
Xu Fengnian and Ning Emei had a glass of wine and sighed: “At that time, General Ning brought a hundred people to the world to make trouble with me, including Hong Shuwen. Many people are no longer in Fengzi Camp now, and have become commanders and even lieutenants of the local army. Yuan Meng is still there. A few days ago, he was in the Tianjing Ranch and complained to me, saying that he had mentioned to you and wanted to enter Tiefutu, but you not only did not agree to your old love, but also scolded him.”
Ning Emei subconsciously sat upright and said in the graceful voice of Dongyue woman: “In the past two years, Fengzi Camp has changed many new people and new faces. I finally feel that only if you have an old man like Yuan Duzi is in it, you can feel at ease.”
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, “Some young people who came out of Fengzi Camp as a white horse are occasionally met in private. I heard that they like to ask how big they were and how big they had become. They talk about who became border generals and chief officials in the future, but they could not support each other. This is a bit like the same hometown in the same year of the imperial examination in the Liyang court. Back then, our earliest border crossbowmen in Beiliang also experienced this stage. At the beginning, they met again, and they were talking about who died in the battlefield, and they used that very envious tone. After a few years, it was different. They asked how big the newly bought house was, how beautiful the newly acquired concubines were, and how many acres of high-quality fertile land they had.”
Seeing Ning Emei’s face change drastically, Xu Fengnian waved his hand and smiled, “Don’t be nervous, these are human nature. The situation of Fengziying is a minority for the time being. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. I understand this principle, let alone Xu Xiao also said something similar. In his eyes, the world you and I are in is very different from decades ago. At that time, almost everyone was thinking about how to survive. Everyone’s heads were tied to the belt. The difference was nothing more than the common people’s heads were tied to the straw ropes and the literati’s brains. The bag is tied to a more valuable jade belt, but no one is in danger. But now everyone is thinking about how to live better, so since last year, the family has moved outside Beiliang Road. Since it is possible to die in Beiliang, then escape to a place where there is no wolf smoke and go to a place where there is no sound of Beimang’s horse hooves. If Huainan Road doesn’t work, go to Jiangnan Road. One day, Jiangnan Road will also fight, and you can still go south of Guangling River. If it really doesn’t work, go to southern Xinjiang. As long as you have money and flee south, you can survive in the end.”
Xu Fengnian’s fingers were spinning the exquisite white porcelain wine glass that was not inferior to the Jiangnan family’s goods, and he mentioned it slightly: “I am one of the few luxury people in the world. I know the market of this small wine glass. I sell about two or three taels of silver in the rich places of the Central Plains. After working hard to move to our Beiliang Road, I have to double more than twice. Of course, I really have to say that there are countless valuable items in Qingliang Mountain. The scholars in the Central Plains said that I, Beiliang, had “million households and a family of wealth”, but there were nothing wrong with that of the precious calligraphy and paintings with the words “fake” on my handprint in Wutongyuan. However, compared to people like Zhong Hongwu, Xu Fengnian, I, was known for being a waste of my family for a long time, and it was different from their wealth-keeping slaves.”
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, “When I was a child, every time Xu Xiao took a priceless calligraphy, painting and antiques to Wutongyuan, he couldn’t tell me how good those things were, and he didn’t know why he could sell them for such a high price by writing a few words or applying some ink. He had to tell me again and again that this thing was always valuable, and then he would inevitably add a sentence how many horses can this thing be bought in Beiliang, and how many Beiliang war swords can I buy. In the past few years, I have asked the governor Li Gongde, the governor of Lingzhou Xu Beizhi, and Song Dongming to secretly sell treasure calligraphy and paintings. Watching boxes of things move out of Qingliang Mountain, General Ning, do you know what I am thinking?”
Ning Emei shook her head seriously.
Xu Fengnian joked, “I just want to complain to Xu Xiao, you lost money when you bought it back then.”
Ning Emei laughed silently.
Xu Fengnian curled his smile: “I don’t want to say that Bai Yu had just arrived in Qingliang Mountain for a few days and was already in harmony with Song Dongming. How can I make Zhou Kang and Gu Dazu harmonious? One is the few old soldiers in Beiliang who were willing to look up to me back then, one was an outsider I finally invited, one was in the cavalry and the other was in the infantry. Today, I was in the meeting hall. I was not right to talk to anyone. Family affairs and state affairs, just talk about family affairs. Wang Linquan, who vaguely became the God of Wealth in Beiliang, and Lu Dongjiang, who was depressed and unsuccessful, had two father-in-law and two relatives, fell together. Logically speaking, I should help the Lu family that was not suitable for the local environment, but can the Lu family really help them up? In the middle, I just don’t want to explore Wang Linquan’s plot against the children of the Lu family. One is too smart and the other is too stupid, and it hit it off.”
Ning Emei sighed, speechless, not daring to say anything, nor knowing what she could say.
Xu Fengnian looked at Ning Emei and joked, “Do you think it’s not easy for me to be the leader?”
Ning Emei, who was seen through his mind, nodded, perhaps because she was worried about being flattered, and said in a deep voice: “I really think so!”
Xu Fengnian said, “I just complain, and I can still drink wine with you. It’s actually very easy. What’s really not easy is Liu Jinu and others who carved their names on the stone tablet of Qingliang Mountain.”
Xu Fengnian put down his wine glass: “But the more difficult is that you, Ning Emei and others, are you.”
Xu Fengnian put down his wine glass: “But it’s even more difficult, that’s you, Ning Emei andZhou Kang and Gu Dazu are you people. ”
