Chapter 051: Old Liang of the Temple, Young and Strong of Northern Liang

A mountain forest elegant house, there are two old men sitting opposite each other eating crabs. The older one, eyebrow hair snow white, hand corner of the table is also squatting a lazy white cat. Autumn wind crab feet itch, but from the best eating crab season should be worse than two decades time, but Tai’an City as the capital of Liyang, receiving countless tributes, there is a background with the relationship between the gourmets, have their own unique doorway, Yangzhou has Fenquan Lake, the production of purple whiskers and yellow crabs, because of the Taoist ancestor of the Longhu Mountain, Tianshi House of the Yellow and Purple Nobleman, I do not know which one of the elegant people to take the nickname of the dragon and tiger crabs have been in use to the present day. This kind of compared to the rest of the lake crab river crab just matured two decades earlier, only into the fall female crab has been yellow full of meat thick. A snow-white old man kind eyes, the table has a porcelain plate set aside exquisite crab eight pieces, the old man to eat crab, from time to time twisted up a piece of ginger into the mouth, to get rid of the crab cold, there is a handsome maidservant tray, put a clump of new chrysanthemums picked from nowhere in early fall, to wipe their hands to solve the fishy. The old man ate crab light knock slow peeling, everything in order, obviously a deep understanding of the gourmets. Opposite an age is not small, but compared to this expensive “snow lion” of the old man, or to be worse than one and a half generations of years, he ate up the crab, obviously to wolf, eat sloppy, no that trivial crab eight pieces, eat his fingers are golden greasy, also do not forget to reach into the mouth to lick off, see that white-browed old man’s intimate The maid a burst of scalp numbness, but also dare not show the slightest contempt, must know that this old is the world’s famous Tantan Weng, Liyang Dynasty, the main official of the province under the hall door, if not for his reversal of fortune, the temple, so far no one will dare to fight with the first auxiliary Zhang Julu head on. However, she carefully served a few years of that old man, but also by no means ordinary people, Jiangxin Yu’s old ancestor Yu Jiankang, really counting, that is, Tantan Weng should also call a senior. Handmaiden heart some helpless, this banquet, this is the old ancestor pulled Tongxi Jianxian help to say a few words of mercy, unexpectedly the Ministry of War Secretary Lu Baijie because of the temporary military affairs wrapped up, Huan old man will not be happy to wait for, Yu’s old ancestor is also not good to say anything.

Yu Jiankang, it is in Jiangnan Road, the mountain behind the temple, that can force the yellow crown Taoist nun Xu Pou to go to the Northern Liang son of the majesty of the old man, it is also he persuaded the Tongxi Jianxian this descendant into the capital as an official, Linlang Lu’s this is the heyday of today’s weather. The old man ate the crab, rinsed his mouth and wiped his hands, gently exhaled, and the extremely well-trained servant girl left in a wise manner. Yu Jiankang reached out and stroked the white cat’s head, looked at the Tantan Weng who casually wiped the grease on his lapel, and laughed softly: “Lord Servant, when will you have time to go to Jiangnan for a walk? So that I can do my duty as a landlord.”

Tantan Weng laughed, “Yu Lao, you and I have not reached that point in our relationship, let’s not be blindly polite. To be honest there are still several old scores that have not been settled clearly, but since they are all muddled scores, I, Huan Wen, have been able to deceive myself for all these years, but Yu Lao can’t deceive others again.”

Yu Jiankang took a deep look at this Tantan Weng whom he hadn’t seen for more than twenty years, pressed down that small lotus just showing its sharp tip in his heart, and laughed at himself and said, “Back then, it is true that I underestimated you, and beat up the lovebirds, and this is also a big regret in my life.”

Huan Wen shook his arm and said: “Don’t worry, your Yu Lao is your Yu Lao, Yu Lian is Yu Lian, Lu Baijie is his Lu Baijie, I Huan Wen is not so small minded as to be angry at others. Just Yu Lian can not be that ‘three into the palace’ of the Ministry of Justice, but Zhang Lu students Zhao right age, I Huan Wen is indeed one of the obstacles, but not personal grudges to this, but he Yu Lian this piece of wood beams can not hold up the Ministry of Justice, if it is the Ministry of the Household Department Ministry of Public Works and such Yamen, Huan Wen can turn a blind eye, but want to take charge of the Ministry of Justice will soon be raised rank, then he Yu Lian is the Ministry of Justice. But if he wants to be in charge of the Ministry of Appointments which is about to increase in rank, then Yu Lian will have to beg for a good smoke from his ancestors’ graves to be able to do so.”

Giving the finger to the old Yu Clan master smiled and did not get angry, and it wasn’t a deliberate concealment of deep qi nourishment, it was just that the snowy-browed old man really didn’t get angry.

Huan Wen continued to say bluntly: ”The Ministry of War did not do a good job, make Guangling Road a mess, let Cao Changqing take advantage of the opportunity, easily a pot of end, I Huan Wen heart have a mouth of grievances, not scold the Ministry of War Secretary Lu Baijie, who else can scold? If you want to blame him for sitting in this position, if it were Gu Jiantang or Chen Zhibao, I would have scolded him as well. Of course, Lu Baijie has only been the minister for a short time, the position of the minister is not yet hot, he was scolded this time is a little aggrieved.”

Rao Yu Jiankang also a little laugh and cry, helplessly said: “You are not only the mouth scolding, but also hit people, now the whole world knows that Tangxi Jianxian almost give you servant Lord a kick in the chest.”

Huan Wen slammed the table and said indignantly, “I’m an old bone and I almost twisted my foot, who can I find to judge?”

Yu Jiankang sighed, not intending to get entangled with this rogue goods in this matter. Temple Hall up and down know very well, Tantan Weng kicked Lu Shangshu is not important, the important thing is the door under the province of the left minister of the Ministry of War recently changed the head of the fire, will lead one hair will affect the whole body, Lu Baijie even if the emperor valued his majesty, once give a person by Tantan Weng hate the bad impression, then Lu Baijie want to realize their ambitions, a lot of things will be unable to catch the trace of the invisible block, even if it can be done, but it would be The first time I saw him, I was in the middle of it. The Ministry of the Army has been fluctuating, long suppressed by the Ministry of the Ministry of Justice and signs of rising, as the new leader of the Jiangnan scholar group, known as the reputation of the Lu Baijie was even expected to 100 feet pole head further, without the need to adhere to the Ministry of the Army in a corner, the results to Huan Wen so kicked, everything has changed, the Jiangnan scholar in the Yu Jiankang, who once assessed the clan, but the Jiangnan North does not have a few hiding behind the scenes of the old undead guy! The first time I saw him, he was in the middle of the Jiangnan scholars.

Yu Jiankang can afford to put down, asked: “Then Xu Gong?”

Huan Wen glanced at Yu Jiankang and said, “I’m not a blue-eyed child, it’s not difficult to hinder someone’s future, but I can’t and don’t want to do the job of promoting others. Yu old mention wrong pig head into the wrong temple, not to mention Yu old decades of accumulated affection, as if there is no need to burn incense to anyone.”

Gumiao Xu, used to be supported by two pillars, the war hero Longchamp general Xu Gong outside, Xu Shufei inside, but unfortunately, the latter because of Xu Snapdragon’s eldest daughter, the Empress caught the handle, into the Cold Palace, it is estimated that in this life do not want to see the light of day again. She went to the Changchun Palace, not only is Gumou Xu’s vitality, the entire Jiangnan scholar group have been seriously affected, the clan and valor is an honor and a loss, since ancient times. At that time, Xu Shufei fell out of favor, and soon there are several promising Jiangnan scholar officials, to Zhao right age master of the Ministry of Justice with a variety of wrists and excuses pressed back to the original position. Officialdom, laugh at others and be laughed at by others, often overnight, there is no talk of what thirty years east of the river thirty years west of the river. If it is not Lu Baijie in Tai’an City, the Jiangnan side of the readers have to be even more difficult, not to mention the other, Lu Baijie promoted to the Ministry of War on the day, the number of Jiangnan states and counties will double the number of people, and then give Tantanweng scolded the Ministry of War, and then quietly walked away from thirty percent.

Yu Jiankang gently stroked along the white cat’s spine, shook his head and lamented: ”In or out of the temple, there is a world of difference. Inside, you let others do things, it should be others who are thankful, outside, begging people to do things, are not too bright.”

Yu Jiankang under the guise of interceding for Lu Baijie, but in reality it is for Xu Gong’s future. Because the two old men are clear as a bell, Lu Baijie on the surface of the moment rise and fall, can not stop the son of heaven red man’s momentum towards. But Longchamp General Xu Gong is not the same, the court has suppressed the military generals of an undercurrent, the Ministry of mandarins Pin higher than the Ministry of War, Gu Jiantang is a fancy title of the pillar country confined to the northern border, why Yang Shen Xing Yan Zhenchun this group of military old mountain so anxious to ask for orders to go south? It’s not that they can see that after this village will not have this store’s sake, are thinking about as much as possible to the children and grandchildren to accumulate merit shade ah. If Xu Gong misses this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, it will be even more difficult for him to make a name for himself in the future.

The person who can create a great power by himself, in the whole Spring and Autumn period, there is only one person Tu Xu Snapdragon only.

Gu Jiantang can only be counted as half. As for others, even Lu Shengxiang this kind of lord, no matter how talented, are just borrowing momentum.

Huan Wen hesitated.

Yu Jiankang froze for a moment, this guy has never been a procrastinator, but he would also hesitate about things? The old ancestor of the Yu Clan immediately looked grave.

Huan Wen suddenly asked an inexplicably irrelevant question, “Old Yu, how many years do you have left to live, is fifteen years okay?”

Yu Jiankang couldn’t grasp the mystery for a moment, so he could only tell the truth and smiled, “I don’t dare to think much about fifteen years, but I definitely won’t be able to lie in a coffin within ten years.”

Huan Wen nodded and said in a deep voice, “Good. Then I, Huan Wen, make an exception to help Xu Gong say a few words, within three years, will definitely give him a real power general. To be honest, if we follow your Jiangnan scholar’s operation, Xu Gong would be dead, not to mention promoted! In return, you, Yu Jiankang, before you die, you will have to write down two words for someone by then.”

Yu Jiankang frowned, somewhat puzzled.

Huan Wen used his finger to write down two words on the desktop, then got up and left straight away.

Yu Jiankang looked at the empty desktop that did not have any handwriting, nor did he send off Tantan Weng, and after a long silence, he sighed, “Biyi’er, what is there to fear in death when you have this good friend?”

North Mang female emperor’s broad-mindedness is far better than the world’s men, allowing the South Dynasty to become its own temple.

The southern dynasty set up six departments but not set up under the door of the two provinces, but more than one king of the southern courtyard, but the six ministers are always lower than the northern court of a rank.

South court king Huang Song Pu’s position in North Mang is declining, especially the beloved general Hong Guan single-handedly buried the border fortress Jun Zi Pavilion, for the northern relocation of the small scholarly origin of Huang Song Pu heavy blow, and the cold commoner identity of the general Liu Gui, as well as pariahs to join the army of the Yang Yuanzan, the two big names, also did not take advantage of the big eat Huang Song Pu’s power and territory, since the Dragon Elephant Army to the Wazhuji Jun Zi Pavilion front line was crushed to the ground, since the Longxiang Army, many of the high Hua ranked in the A class, but also the high Hua ranked in the first class. Since the Dragon Elephant Army crushed the Wazhu Junzi Pavilion line to a pulp, many of the Gao Hua clans that are ranked in the first class have converged a lot, and originally those who dared to point their fingers at the three great generals of the spring and autumn relics, they all sensed the dullness of the wind and rain and no longer believe in saying that they don’t need 100,000 troops to topple Beiliang, so it’s not like they’re talking about the asshole words. The southern dynasty was blessed with a rare harmonious atmosphere, coupled with Dong Zhuo’s growing power, the almost irresistible rise of external forces, as well as Hong Jingyan got all the Zoran iron horsemen, these two confrontation in the southern dynasty court, but also largely diverted some of the original old contradictions.

South dynasty four hundred thousand army, south court king Huang Song Pu more and more command immobility, inside and outside the courtroom has been aware of. Just a thin camel is bigger than a horse, as long as Liu Gui Yang Yuanzan two great generals did not tear his face with Huang Song Pu, then no one dares to call the board to his face.

In addition to that dead fat man.

At this moment, the military power more blazing fat man has nearly 100,000 people in his hands, and none of them are elite soldiers, this in the temple hall of the people’s fate is incredibly poor Dong fat man is in the broken mouth, almost pointing at Huang Song Pu’s nose spray saliva.

“Old man Huang, are you blinded by lard to think of a battle with Northern Liang to determine the winner?!”

“I ask you, that should be dragged out to whip the body of Hong Guan how to die in the first place, he has the advantage of numbers, geography, is not lost to the Dragon Elephant Army that has been temporarily by the heavy cavalry for light cavalry?”

“I bet with you, if you do this, not to mention the leveling of Beiliang, maybe His Majesty’s king’s tent will have to be copied clean by the Xu family’s iron cavalry!”

“You old man, are you blind? After Gu Da Zu entered Liang, the big defense line weaved with 14 passes as the key nodes in the territory of Northern Liang is a quagmire, and people are determined to hook up with you in the second line of defense, slowly hooking up with us! The 400,000 strong army pounced on, Northern Liang can afford to consume, we can afford to consume? Do you really think that the Xu Family Rangers on the other side won’t cut us off and let us transport grain and grass in a big way?”

The more Fatty Dong spoke, the more he had no scruples, and the gray-haired Huang Song Pu remained expressionless, not even bothering to wipe that dead fat man’s spit.

Both Yang Yuanzan and Liu Gui made an unprecedented move not to stop Dong Zhuo’s lack of discipline.

Huang Song Pu asked blandly in the interval when Dong Zhuo took the time to catch his breath and rest, “Finished cursing?”

Dong Zhuo bent over and busily raised his arms, “Wait a little longer.”

Many of the old ministers in the temple hall rolled their eyes, and some of the young nouveau riche more or less still had shocked looks on their faces.

Huang Song Pu really did not speak.

Dong Zhuo stirred his mouth, as if he was trying to produce some fluids so that he could curse more skillfully.

Dong Zhuo straightened his back and was about to scold Huang Song Pu for being such an old fool.

At the entrance of the main hall, several tall men with deep accumulated prestige walked in, not too old, but their official hats could not be any bigger.

Most of them are in the southern dynasty but can completely ignore the temple of the North Mang important ministers, holding the festival order! The remaining few were even more powerful roles that were just as rare as the Section Holding Order in Bei Mang but with an even more supreme status.

Sensing the strange atmosphere around him, Dong Zhuo turned his head and opened his mouth wide.

Boy, this is still the southern dynasty hall? Instead, it’s the grandest painted gray deliberations of the Northern Court’s royal tent?

These uninvited guests are the two old festival holders from Gusei Prefecture’s Dragon’s Waist Prefecture, as well as Orange Prefecture’s festival holder, Murong Baoding, and even the great general, Seed Shentong!

It was only then that Huang Song Pu slowly opened his mouth and said: ”I have already delivered a folding letter to His Majesty the Emperor, if approved, the army that will go south to Northern Liang will not only be 400,000 soldiers and horses from the Southern Dynasty. Now it seems that it is mostly approved.”

Hong Jingyan glanced at Fatty Dong and smiled coldly.

Dong Zhuo wisely shut his mouth and shook his head, looking left and right, pretending that nothing had happened.

Huang Song Pu nodded gently to those festival holders and great generals, then said calmly to Dong Zhuo, “I also resigned from the Northern Court Grand King on the folders and recommended you, Dong Zhuo, to His Majesty the Emperor.”

Dong Zhuo was dumbfounded.

This fat man then snapped back to God, his eyes moist, tightly holding one of Huang Song Pu’s hands, “The old general is worried about the country and the people, touching ah! There are no granddaughters at home who can’t rest assured, such as the yellow goose yellow in the boudoir, I Dong Zhuo should be a little bit of help, willing to help take care of it!”

Huang Song Pu said in a cold voice: “If you dare to touch the door of the Huang Mansion, I will break your three legs!”

Dong Zhuo retracted his hand, hehehe laughed, “This is not yet the king of the southern courtyard, the good things under the sky fall into the bag, fall into the bag, ah, otherwise everything is empty.”

Hong Jingyan narrowed his eyes and watched coldly.

Huang Song Pu ignored this snobbish dead fat man, walked to the center of the hall, swept through the half circle, the military horse half life but probably is no longer a white-haired old man of the South Yard King, did not say anything, just heavy clasped his fists.

Not only the generals who have built a successful career on the sands, but also the civil officials, all of them subconsciously clasped their fists and returned the salute.

On the border of Beiliang, a cavalcade slowly marched forward, more than fifty riders.

No one was anyone’s escort.

Everyone had official status.

Among them was Bei Liang Capital Protector Chu Lushan. Yuan Zuozong, the Grand Commander of the Northern Liang Cavalry. Yan Wenluan, the commander-in-chief of the infantry.

As well as the vice-commanders of the cavalry, Gu Dazu, Zhou Kang, He Zhongshu, and Chen Yuntui.

Xu Longxiang, second son of Xu Snapdragon.

General Shi Fu of Liangzhou. General Han Laoshan of Lingzhou. General Huangfu Scale of Youzhou.

There were several new faces including Wang Zhi and Jiao Wuyi.

Next is the leader of each powerful brigade, and more than ten lieutenants guarding the dangerous passes in Northern Liang.

Wei Jianqing and Xin Yanma, the captains of Tongguan. Weak String Captain Li Maozhen. Zhu Bo Yu, the captain of Feng Qiu, and Ren Chunyun, the captain of Beiguo. Ren Chunyun, the captain of the Northern Kingdom.

As well as a large number of newly promoted to the throne of the border guards, without exception, are thirty years old and above the robust man, everyone military service, everyone eyes resolute.

At the head of the group was Xu Fengnian, the King of Northern Liang.

How did the original Northern Liang, which many people mistakenly believed to be green and yellow, come up with so many young and strong generals who were quite impressive after a closer look?

Such a lineup was enough to give any enemy of any status the creeps.

Fifty horsemen lined up at the top of a high slope.

Together, they quietly looked down at the Northern Mang.

Yan Wenluan suddenly laughed in a high voice, “How about all the old men who are over forty years old step back and give way to the youngsters?”

Gu Dazu Chen Yuntui, these old guys looked at each other and laughed, silently retreating.

This cavalcade was slightly uneven.

But the majestic momentum was not reduced in the slightest.

Because above the front line, there were still more than thirty people.

Whether it was Li Yang or Bei Mang, it seemed impossible to bring out so many strong and capable generals on a single front at the same time!

It was even more impossible for Yan Wenluan, these famous Spring and Autumn generals, to willingly stand behind them!

The young feudal lord carrying an iron spear used the tip of the spear to draw a horizontal line on the ground flush with the hooves of the horse in front of him.
