Chapter 823 Xu Beizhi was very resentful, and Cao Changqing let go of his heart
A heroic city was formed on the flat ground outside Beiliang Pass, and this new city, which had just been officially named Jubei, was also somewhat like a high-rise building on the flat ground, and a small market appeared. Although the sparrow is small, it is full of all organs, including restaurants, tea shops, inns, pawn shops, and gambling shops. Some merchants come here to find business, some scholars travel far away from the border, some people in the martial arts world call on friends to visit, some people tell stories here, and some women do shameful business. There are many discussions about the name of the new city. The foreigners all felt that the saying “rejecting the northern city” was not strong enough, and it was not as straightforward as the “Kaman City” that was originally called out to be extremely high. It was generally believed that the academician who had not yet taken office as an official in Beiliang. Although the evil spirit is slightly strong, it has been around the northwest for about a year. When they enter the countryside, the scholars who go to the Liang Dynasty have also begun to be infected by the customs of the Liang people. They are like water entering a sand pit, and they are no longer a clear spring in the secluded mountains and forests, but like turbid wine.
The Jubei City, which broke ground in the early 2nd year of Xiangfu, can be said to be the top priority of Beiliang, both strategic and symbolic. There have been rumors that not only will the Protectorate move from Huaiyang Pass to the new city at the end of the year, but a new Liangzhou Special Administrator will also build an official office here, becoming the “Guizhou outside the pass” with the military and political power of Liangzhou. However, it is so important that the elite border troops stationed around the new city are still in the pattern of Beiyan and Nansong. This can be seen from the fact that there is no raft patrol in the market. At first, the scholars who went to Liang were puzzled by this, and after explanation by local merchants, they felt relieved. It turned out that the fierce battle outside the pass was calm and comfortable inside the pass, and Beiliang had been there for more than 20 years.
As noon approached, the scorching sun was in the sky, Xu Fengnian walked alone in this market nicknamed “Little Que Town”. There was no white horse Yicong’s guard beside him, and even Xu Yanbing was not accompanied. Most of the residents of the market were from other places. Except for the people of Liangzhou City and Yan Wenluan, the group of old people in Beiliang, there were not many ordinary people in Beiliang who were truly familiar with the appearance of Xinliang King. Tens of thousands of soldiers in Hutou City were familiar with it. Unfortunately, they all died in battle, including the main general Liu Jinu. I am also familiar with the Wanqi of Youzhou where Xu Fengnian is the robes, but in the second Hulukou Battle, more than half of the casualties were killed or injured, and except for Yu Luan Dao, it would not appear here.
At this time, Xu Fengnian’s face was a little pale, which was a sequelae of the battle of the Imperial Heaven Survey. Qi Jiajie’s sword energy was originally “transferred” by Xuanyuan Qingfeng, and it had been suppressed in three acupoints. This is also the premise that Xu Fengnian was able to fight with Deng Tai’a and Cao Changqing at Xiamawei Posthouse. Now the flood broke the dam and wandered freely in his body, such as a large army passing through the border and an iron cavalry stepped on the ground. Xu Fengnian’s body felt like there was a thunder sound of drums and thunder. If it were a Taoist master who was good at looking inward, he would probably be completely desperate about the matter of immortality.
Xu Fengnian chose a restaurant with a lot of people to sit in. Three times, they lived a scheming life from beginning to end, and knew the truth that a penny could not kill a hero, and they were used to having money in their palms. He weighed the money bag and asked for a potTwo bowls of rice and three dishes, sitting next to the window, taking off a knife and putting on casual clothes, like an ordinary scholar traveling far away. The restaurant was not big, but the business was good. More and more diners were in. Some people wanted to join the table and eat. The waiter came to Xu Fengnian with a look of embarrassment and said to Xu Fengnian. Xu Fengnian smiled and said it was okay, but asked two pots of green ant wine to calculate the price of one pot. The waiter thought that the deal was still profitable, so he took the initiative to help the restaurant owner agree. There were five people who were playing the table with Xu Fengnian, one woman and four men. The four men have different temperaments, and they don’t know how they got together with heroes and scholars. The heroic hero is obviously like one of the tall men in their thirties. The sword sheath of the sword is made of gold, and the scholar’s bookish fragrance and Wenzi robe shirt, each has a red sandalwood and gold folding fan. The texture of the fan is a rare Nan that is hard to buy. However, Xu Fengnian’s vision is so sophisticated. One person’s fan pendant is a honey knot and the other person is a low-grade iron knot. Then the family background of the two is revealed, and the latter is slapping the swollen face and pretending to be fat. There were four benches on a table, two rich men and two scholars sat side by side around Xu Fengnian, but the young and beautiful woman sat alone opposite Xu Fengnian. People rely on clothes and Buddhas rely on gold, but they probably don’t regard Xu Fengnian, who is dressed simply, as a scallion, and speak without hesitation. The woman has a Jiangnan accent, soft and glutinous accent, and doesn’t speak much, but she doesn’t agree with the man. The two heroic men have one Jizhou accent and the other Liaodong accent, while the scholars come from Qingzhou, Central Plains and Jianzhou, Southeast.
These four men talked about the situation and the interesting stories of the world. They both praised and criticized the Liyang court in their words, and felt that the simplicity of the chief officials of various departments in the capital temple was the new atmosphere of the Xiangfu New Dynasty. Unfortunately, Lu Shengxiang and the military generals of the southern expedition were not successful, which made the Guangling Dao rebels take advantage of the situation. However, without exception, they had no doubt that the national trend of the entire Liyang Dynasty would become prosperous. First, Beiliang defeated Beimang, and the northwest gateway was as stable as a rock. In addition, Gu Jiantang’s two Liao border troops finally took the initiative to attack and fought a series of inspiring victory. Before this, the two vassal kings of the Zhao surname who liked to compete with the Iron Cavalry of Beiliang, Zhao Bing, King of Yanla, and Zhao Yi, the elite troops under the command of Zhao Yi, were disappointed. Fortunately, Gu Jiantang, the country of Dazhu, stood up at this time, which made the court and the country feel relieved. It turns out that no one except the Beiliang border troops can compete with the Beimang barbarians. Among them, it talks about the two Liao Dynasty and Xu Gong, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War who patrolled the border for the emperor. The scholar from the Central Plains said that his father had a close relationship with Xu. He was a classmate in his early years, and later a colleague. When General Longxiang entered the capital to take office, several of his father’s family were in the farewell team, and there were still letter exchanges. Hearing this, the woman who had originally glanced at Xu Fengnian from time to time suddenly got up high again.
Xu Fengnian chewed and ate slowly, but only two bowls of rice and three dishes. No matter how slow it was, he would have finished eating. Fortunately, he still had a pot of green ant wine at hand, so he put down his chopsticks, opened the wine pot and poured a glass of wine. In fact, it’s not just his desk talking, but most of the restaurant is giving guidance to the river.In the mountains, eating two or three taels of silver a table of dishes and wine, and sharing the hearts of Tai’an City Imperial Palace or the Prince’s Mansion of Qingliang Mountain in Beiliang. Xu Fengnian smiled and listened to the sensation around him, raised his wine glass, turned to look at the bright sunny sky outside the window. At some point, the scholar in Jianzhou who was holding a tiny nancao Maitreya fan pendant talked about the Xinliang King whom he had never met. I don’t know if he was drunk or was trying to pretend to be amazing in front of the woman he liked. There was a little conflict between his words. After drinking a drink, he sneered: “Everyone knows that the eldest son of the Lao Liang King, the eldest prince of the old prince, was a very slutty man in his early years. He had been a dandy man for more than ten years and was notorious. His first appearance was when the Lao Liang King asked him to participate in the martial arts tour outside Beiliang Pass before his death. Obviously, this was paving the way for the inheritance of the King of Beiliang. Now, the common people in Beiliang City say that when the Xinliang King served as the general of Lingzhou, he slapped the general of Huaihua, Zhong Hongwu, who had returned to the field, which was very satisfying. The truth is really like this.”
The beautiful woman asked curiously, “Young Master Song, how can you explain this?”
The young scholar sneered, “Just knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger and crossing the river and destroying the bridge. After all, it is not Lao Liang’s king who is afraid that his son will not be able to convince the public, so he secretly instructed Li Gongde, who was in charge of the officialdom of Lingzhou, to deal with Zhong Hongwu to kill the chicken to warn the monkey. Otherwise, with Xu Fengnian’s identity at that time, people would really dare to provoke the commander of the cavalry of the Northern Liang who was a great general, who had countless disciples in the border army. Not only that, Lingzhou, which is rich in Beiliang, is laughed at as the backyard of the Zhong family. Beiliang first forced Zhong Hongwu to leave the border army, and then took down the old army. Then in the restructuring of the Beiliang army, the border army was not moved and only moved the garrison in the territory, and did it in one go. If it was not the layout of Lao Liang’s king during his lifetime, who believed it?”
The young man who claimed to have a friendship with Mr. Xu smiled and nodded, “It should be said that he was killing the ‘old’ tiger to warn the fierce tiger. Zhong Hongwu was not in his position, like a tiger without tooth. The old Liang king used him to “sacrifice the flag” to his eldest son. It was the most appropriate. He was also a general of the Northern Liang border army, and Yan Wenluan, the same emperor of Youzhou, because he still had the military power in Youzhou at that time. Did the old Liang king move? Did the prince dare to move? The fact is that Xu Fengnian did not have any before he ascended the throne. Go to Youzhou! Why did you choose Lingzhou? Because compared to the military generals, it is more effective than the civil servants. The civil servants here can compete with the generals. With the official position of the strategic envoy whom Li Gongde had obtained before, how dare you not serve the Xu family? To be precise, Brother Song’s so-called three things were done in one go. The real foreshadowing was Li Gongde, the strategic envoy who was also the governor of Lingzhou at that time. If I were Zhong Hongwu, I would have been wary of it long ago.”
The two heroes said that the martial arts world can be talked about in a big way, but when it comes to the officialdom and the temple, it is confusing, but it sounds like a murderous intent. The two looked at each other and smiled. The pen in the hand of a weak scholar was also a knife in his hand.
The scholar named Song agreed deeply and continued to sarcastically said, “No matter whether Xu Fengnian’s identity as a grandmaster is true or false, we only say that the ten thousand cavalry of Youzhou appeared outside the mouth of Hulu. Now people in Beiliang say that this move is as good as Xu Xiao, butFor example, there are really some people who are leading the way on the battlefield, even if there are people, they are brave generals who are enemies of thousands of people. As a vassal king, this move is indeed appropriate. If he died outside the pass, Beiliang would not have to guard the King of Lao Liang and the 300,000 cavalry under his command. He has been defending the Northwest Gate for twenty years, just to make him act so hard to add a few good reputation to him.”
Speaking of this, the young scholar laughed: “Beiliang people say that the great general Xu Xiao is never afraid of the world’s infamy. It is said that Xu Xiao once said that Liyang’s saliva could fill thousands of large jars, and it would be enough for him to use foot washing water for several lifetimes. Now it seems that Xu Xiao is not afraid of being criticized, but his son wants to leave a name for history books, and must leave a good name, which is even more true! ”
The other young scholar skillfully opened the folding fan with a snap: “The feat of the new Liang king Xinbeiliang, refusing to accept the imperial edict, won the hearts of countless people in Beiliang, which is amazing! I don’t know if it was Xu Beizhi’s meaning or Chen Liangxi’s plan. I want to see that if it weren’t for Xu Beizhi’s vigorous purchase of grain in Lingzhou and Chen Liangxi’s strategy in Qingcang City, Liuzhou, even if there were border troops known as 300,000 iron cavalry in Beiliang, they would not be able to stop the million-strong army of Beimang. “
Scholars are naturally close to scholars. Of course, the premise is that there is no direct conflict between scholars and scholars, otherwise scholars will harm scholars and kill people without blood.
Xu Fengnian slowly drank wine. The two young people’s meaning is very simple. He can become the King of Beiliang because of his father Xu Xiao and Li Yishan. He defended the pass by Xu Beizhi and Chen Liangxi. He himself was wandering around in Beiliang to gain fame and deceive the people.
Xu Fengnian was actually not angry at all, but was a little happy.
After all, these two foreign scholars admitted that the two generations of the Xu family had defended the northwest.
The hero with a golden sword lowered his voice and said carefully: “Two young men, there are ears across the wall. I heard that this spy from Beiliang’s Fushuifang was very smart. ”
