Chapter 831 The meeting hall was tense, and Xu Fengnian decided to go south
Wang Ji, who was not skilled in martial arts, turned around after drinking, blurted out, “What a handsome… mother and man.”
In the field of vision, they were wearing white robes and two swords on their waists.
If adding chairs to the convention hall is adding fuel to the fire and the young vassal kings are tied up in their own cocoons, then the Baiyu Cavalry commander Yuan Nanting brought several old commanders who had withdrawn from the border army to the convention hall, which would make it worse. Not only did the former deputy commander of the cavalry, Wei Tieshan and the former deputy commander of the infantry, Liu Yuanji, arrive, but even Lin Doufang is here. The latter not only beat Liu Yuanji who wanted to stand up for Zhong Hongwu during the Great Reading of Liangzhou border, but also appeared in the team to see off His Royal Highness with Jinquqiao Zhou Kang. This old soldier of the Xu family almost became a relative of Xu Xiao back then, so although Lin Doufang retired in Beiliang for many years, he was obviously an extremely special existence in the minds of the Communist Party of the Northern Liang cavalry of the two dynasties, far from comparable to the ordinary generals of Beiliang. The meeting hall was already crowded, and it added chairs to heroes such as Liu Jinu and Wang Lingbao. Therefore, when Lin Doufang and his group sat down, the meeting hall, which had been lonely for many years, was already full of people tonight. At this moment, nearly sixty chairs were placed in the convention hall, and the chief generals of the Northern Liang cavalry and infantry armies, the general of the governor of the three states, the local power lieutenant, and the civil officials and strategists of Qingliangshan gathered together. The storm is about to come and the wind fills the building.
After Lin Doufang sat down, he looked around and saw some young faces, but more of them were old faces who had been familiar with them for half their lives. The old man looked complicated. Judging from the current situation, both sides had not yet broken the window paper, so it was not too late for him to come. It is said that it is both sides, but in the final analysis, it is Xu Fengnian and the entire Beiliang. This old man who had been born and died for the Xu family was dazed in his eyes. Looking back on the past, the general also faced a similar situation after winning the Battle of the West Barrier. Headed by Zhao Changling, he strongly advocated the rule of the Liyang Zhaoshi who showed signs of cunning rabbits and lackeys cooking. Yan Wenluan, who was still sitting in the meeting hall, belonged to one of the group of people, including Xu Pu, Wu Qi, who were no longer in Northern Liang, and Zhong Hongwu who was already dead. Of course, Lin Doufang himself is among them. However, the two new and old Liang kings were two times in succession, similar and different. After all, there was Li Yishan next to the general at that time. Except for Chen Zhibao, who was deeply thoughtful, the other five adopted sons who had outstanding military achievements stood firmly behind the general. And today’s young vassal kings seem to be in a situation where everyone is betrayed.
Lin Doufang glanced at the brocade partridge without saying a word. It is said that Zhou Kang was forced to hand over some of the military power in the North City this time, and he had a rift with the prince. Lin Doufang’s eyes shifted to the Northern Liang governor Chu Lushan and the cavalry commander Yuan Zuozong. Chu Lushan looked down at his toes as if he was counting ants. Yuan Baixiong was closing his eyes to rest. Qi Dangguo, who was also the adopted son of the general, stood up straight, clenched his fists, and stopped talking, making the fierce general with a tiger-backed and bear-back waist look a bit ridiculous. Lin Doufang’s eyes swept over Tian Peifang, who was about to step down as the governor of Liangzhou, the third nominal civil servant in Beiliangdao.It is probably like a lamb standing between a jackal, wolf, tiger and leopard, and it is very restless. Lin Doufang sighed quietly. This time, he met the prince together on New Year’s Eve. He received news very early that Chen Yunchui, who was still in the border army, greeted him without saying anything in detail. He only said that the guys who were ranked first in Beiliang would go to the palace and asked him if Lao Lin wanted to join in the fun. Lin Doufang knew that it would definitely not be a relief. He didn’t want to come and wade into the muddy waters, but he still couldn’t hold it in the end, for fear that the family business that the general had finally saved would fall apart overnight. Lin Doufang finally called on his life-changing brother Liu Saner and the old and steadfast Wei Tieshan. He hoped that no matter what happened, at least the three old men were willing to sacrifice their lives to be peacemakers, and they would not be out of control. Strangely, when they came outside the palace gate, Yuan Nanting was waiting there for a long time, saying that Yan Wenluan and Chu Lushan sent a message to their three elders, asking them to wait and see if they don’t have to rush to express their opinions. When he rushed to Lin Doufang in Liangzhou, he felt an unknown anger. However, because Yuan Nanting was also one of the old soldiers who saw off for His Royal Highness, he refused to get angry at him on the spot.
There was no noisy talk in the lobby where “the king and the ministers are in harmony”, and the civil and military officials did not greet each other politely. Lin Doufang, Wei Tieshan and Liu Yuanji both felt a suffocating sense of oppression. At this time, silence is better than sound. It is conceivable how much pressure the young vassal kings are. Liu Yuanji is rough and used to being careless. He turned to He Zhonghu, who was sitting beside him and asked in a low voice: “Old He, what do you want to make a fuss? Give me Liu Saner a clear idea to avoid being uncomfortable. This knife is too uncomfortable to put on your neck.”
The old coach, who has been in a state of illness in recent years, hesitated for a moment, lowered his voice and said calmly: “The Beimang barbarians will be in a big army at some point. The prince will lead an elite cavalry to the Central Plains at this time…”
Liu Yuanji immediately glared and said, “What, we are finally going to do the ungrateful wolves of Liyang! A good thing, I’m the one! I don’t think about continuing to be the deputy commander of the infantry army after I come back. I can give him a general. If you have 20,000 to 30,000 infantry under my command, it’s up to you. If you fight Xishu first or Hezhou, I’ll be the vanguard general…”
He Zhong suddenly glanced at the old reckless man angrily. When Liu Yuanji returned to his hometown from outside the pass, the veteran immediately beat his three sons who had committed crimes to death. He almost ran to Qingliang Mountain to apologize for his crimes. It was the general who wrote a letter to Liu Yuanji, and then he gave up. However, the veteran soon escorted his three sons to Yan Wenluan’s army, saying that they would throw them wherever they were in Youzhou. If they died, they would count on the death. Anyway, there were five grandsons at home. But what is even more interesting is that Yan Wenluan said to Liu Yuanji, which made Liu Saner so angry that she almost got smoke from her orifices. Yan Wenluan said in front of the old man that the Youzhou infantry did not collect garbage. Because of this, the two old men almost broke up, and in the end, Chen Yunchui helped Liu Yuanji’s three sons join the army.
Lin Doufang asked softly: “Old Shuai He, what’s going on?”
HeZhong Hu said helplessly: “Do you know about the Empress of Western Chu Jiang Si?”
Lin Doufang nodded: “This matter is very controversial, I have heard of it in the countryside. It is rumored that this woman was rescued by a general and was secretly adopted in the royal palace. Later, she was taken away by Cao Changqing. This is why the Western Chu restored the country.”
Lin Doufang said this and frowned: “Is it possible…”
He Zhong sighed suddenly and lowered his voice and said, “You guessed it, the prince is going to be angry for the beauty. If it were in the past, the battle between Liangmang is not imminent. Not to mention the seven or eight thousand elite cavalry, even 20,000 to 30,000 cavalry, you will go to the Central Plains. With the banner of the vassal king Jingnan, and it is not really necessary to rebel, Beiliang is not worried that the court will make things difficult for the court. Take a step back and forth, and it will be difficult for Beiliang to make things difficult for Beiliang for this matter. Instead, we can make it difficult for the court to take the opportunity to make the court difficult for the current situation. But in the current situation, Beimang has been lost. It is estimated that the old woman is about to lose and be crazy. We have not yet built the Beicheng, and the external deployment of the customs has not been completely completed… Alas, Brother Lin, do you think this is the case?” Lin Doufang remained silent.
Liu Yuanji was a little worried. He is not good at reasoning like a scholar, but he always thinks something is wrong. So the old man who scolded His Royal Highness the most fiercer than that, looked at the young man sitting in the main seat and with an empty chair beside him, scratching his head and feeling confused. Yan Wenluan, after Generals Li Yishan and Chen Zhibao and other backbones died, the only border general who could raise a banner in the Northern Liang army was looking around and finally took the lead in breaking the silence that made everyone feel embarrassed. He looked up and looked at the young vassal king and asked in a deep voice: “I, Yan Wenluan, the commander of the Northern Liang infantry! I recently heard that the prince planned to personally lead the Fengzi Camp and draw more than 10,000 elite cavalry. He went south to Guangling Road to ask why the prince dared to ask if this move would miss the opportunity outside the pass.”
The young man in the main position bent down and gently pushed the charcoal fire, stood up and straightened his waist. Lin Doufang was thinking a little. Before the young vassal king started talking, he didn’t care about anything to interfere. He hurriedly said, “Ship Yan, 300,000 people died in Beimang. As a bridgehead for food and supplies, the Southern Dynasties were overwhelmed and it was difficult to complete the rectification in a short period of time. This war between the Beimang barbarians was different from the previous nomadic peoples coming and going like the wind, fighting the “Central Plains”. The more this happens, the more it hurts the vitality. I believe that the war is unlikely to happen within three months. In this case, with the advancement speed of our Beiliang cavalry, we will go to Guangling Road, the Central Plains, and go back and forth, which will not affect the overall situation.”
Yan Wenluan didn’t look at Lin Doufang, but just sneered: “You said that if you don’t fight for three months, you won’t fight. That old lady and the king of the South Courtyard Dong Zhuo would not take advantage of the fact that the North Liang group had no heads and ordered several elite troops to go south first.”
Lin Doufang looked at the young vassal king and said, “Your Majesty doesn’t have to go to Guangling Road in person.”
Before Yan Wenluan could respond, Xu Fengnian shook his head and said, “If Beiliang sends troops to Guangling.”, I will definitely lead the army myself. “
Lin Doufang was overwhelmed, how should we talk about this?
Xu Fengnian suddenly laughed: “I mean if I send troops, since everyone here will not agree…”
At this moment, an old man in Rushan ran to the door of the conference hall panting, crossed the threshold, and then stood suddenly, as if he didn’t dare to raise his other foot anymore, and just kicked inside and outside the house strangely. He calmed down his mood, blushed, and raised his voice and said angrily: “The Iron Cavalry of Beiliang is the best in the world, how can he win the battle? He is more courageous! If you draw a cavalry of 10,000 to the Central Plains, so why not say 10,000, I think even 20,000 to 30,000 is fine. What’s wrong? Without the King of Beiliang personally helping you to take charge of the border, you gangs of officials will not know how to guard the gate of Beiliang! Yan Wenluan, your infantry under your command is the only one in the world and guarding Youzhou. You need the prince to stand behind you for a moment. Should you ask the prince to help you out with advice or serve tea and water? He Zhonghu, Zhou Kang, and Gu Dazu, you guard Liangzhou Pass, do you need the prince to lead the battle and kill the enemy at every battle, otherwise you will not be able to defeat the Beimang barbarians?
The old man became more and more angry as he spoke. He pointed to the people in the front position, a bit like pointing at his nose and cursing: “Chu Lushan, Yuan Zuozong, Qi Dangguo! You three, don’t forget why you are sitting here! “
The old man turned his head and looked at the group of civil and military officials in Liuzhou, and sneered: “As for you Liuzhou officials, there is really a reason to cry and shout and not let the prince leave Beiliang. Hey, if the prince hadn’t personally led his troops to Qingcang City, you wouldn’t have been able to defend Liuzhou created by Li Yishan. “
Liuzhou Governor Yang Guangdou almost got up and jumped up and scolded, but was pulled by Chen Liangxi, who had the same gloomy face.
Jinbao Room in the corridor outside the door did not show up. After hearing Wang Jijiu’s angry, he admired him from the bottom of his heart. Not to mention the truth or not, the courage to fight against all the heroes alone is enough for the old man to brag for the rest of his life. Although scholars in the Central Plains also like to scold the martial arts of Beiliang, who has the courage to curse in front of the generals of Beiliang, Wang Jijiu almost cursed all the civil and military officials of Beiliang in one breath. No wonder the old man had to take him to listen to Chaoge first. It turned out that he had given him courage. During the correspondence and exchanges during this period, the brothers and brothers mentioned Gu Dazu’s deeds outside Liangzhou Pass at that time. The facts proved that even his reputation was very famous. The veteran general of the Spring and Autumn Period, the first person of the Southern Tang Dynasty, when he arrived in Beiliang, even if he was already the deputy commander of the infantry army, he would still be unable to take advantage of the situation after annoying the local military generals. Everyone knows that the next military commander of the infantry was originally between the 50s and 50s. Now even if Chen Yunchui was not the replacement of Yan Wenluan, even if the younger generation of military generals were allowed to serve as the younger generation, it would definitely not be Gu Dazu. This indirectly shows how deeply rooted the military power of the military generals are in the Northern Liang border army. Even if the young vassal kings pushed Gu Dazu, who had lost his morale, to the position of infantry commander, Gu Dazu himself would not be able to sit steadily.
In this way, Wang Jijiu’s keeping a low profile in the academy during this period would be completely useless.
It should be because of the broken can. The old man no longer had the slightest cringe as before. He put his hips on his hips and said, “As soon as the general left, everyone was so arrogant. He dared to form a gang to send the Xu family to show their power! I don’t believe it anymore. There are so many people here, but none of them are looking for the prince. Xu Beizhi! Chen Liangxi! Li Hanlin! All of them stand up for me and say justice!”
