Chapter 160 – The World is in Great Disturbance

Lingshou city in the southern border of Feishou is the northwestern end of the Liyang canal, the Qingzhou Xiangfan is located in the center of this imperial supply line, so the court to pinpoint the seven inches of the northern Liang, there must be the King of Jing’an Zhao Xun’s cooperation, for the time being, as the left servant of the central secretariat of the province of Tan Tan Weng is very satisfied with Xiangfan side of the action, which with the court to ask for an exception to the promotion, the same also out of line with the award of the title of King of Jing’an, behind the scenes Lu Yan greatly invited to the front of the stage to give Hanlin lectures, that is, ordinary people called the great Huangmenlang, and specially allowed to not have to go to the capital to go to the post as an officer. The behind-the-scenes of the Lu Dang was invited to the front of the stage, giving Hanlin lectures, that is, the ordinary people called the big yellow door Lang, and specially allowed to not have to go to the capital to go to work as a businessman. Previously, Chen Xiliang of Northern Liang had temporarily resided in Feishou City, and Gu Dacheng, the deputy envoy of the court’s transportation, dragged and milled for a full ten days of light, and the organs of all the calculations, but did not allow the deputy envoy to have the slightest loosening of the mouth. At dawn, a simple carriage drove into Feishou City from the north gate, and stopped at the Shanhai Pier in the south city. Three men of different ages, two young men of similar age, and an emaciated green-shirted old man came down from the carriage and stood at the cold pier where a few grain ships were not seen, and the young man of short stature wore a cool knife on his waist, kicked a wooden stake to tie up the ship, and aimed at the temporary official residence where the vice-admiral of grain and water transportation was located, and talked to the deputy ambassador beside him. Where the temporary residence, with a head full of gray beside the young man said in a bad mood: “Gu Dacheng and his father Gu Zhui known as the river size Gu Pixiu, Gu Zhui recognized the current Secretary of the Imperial Palace of Justice in charge of the eunuch of the master as a godfather, father and son to serve as a successive grain transporter, it is said that the silver earned can be a C-size granary filled, but Gu Dacheng this guy is greedy to greed, now the imperial court has Huan old man personally watch over, and the court has the right to take care of the food. The court has old man Huan personally staring at his money bag, bold and fat, but also do not dare to ask for a coin of Northern Liang. In my opinion, this is a dead end, it would be better to kill Gu, and then come to a few transit ambassadors to kill a few, kill the Liyang side no one dares to touch the bad luck, and then our Beiliang own swinging private grain, from Feishou City to Xiangfan City this section of the canal, the size of the sixteen canals, granaries no less than fifty, there are always local magnates dare to do business with the Beiliang, back off, really can not be done, we will grab it, Qingliang Mountain has raised so many rivers and mountains, and the city has a lot of people. Qingliang Mountain has raised so many jianghu hawks and dogs, can’t just eat all year round and not work, there is no such good thing under the sky.”

Unfortunately, the king of Beiliang and the ink master Yang Guangdou did not agree with him half a word, only along the stone floor of the pier slowly walking towards the not far away from the official residence of the transfer ambassador. The residence had been built some years ago, and with few repairs, it looked more and more dilapidated compared to the county governor’s residence in the city. This is no wonder that the Gu family father and son do not go to decorate the facade, is really a little overstepping, to the court officials said that collusion with the Northern Liang to enrich their own pockets, that will not be impeached to death, on the capital even if there is a big eunuchs to support the backing of the useless, in this kind of thing who interceded in the death of those who look for death. Transporter residence outside the fence, more than a dozen armored soldiers are a little bit of the wind feeling, eyes shrinking. Some of the local born naughty children to the fence constantly throwing stones, there is no one armor dare to voice, really bored, had to take advantage of the boredom, while the official is not present, with an iron spear to pick off the stones, so that the gang of already playful children is more than happy, looking around to throw stones into the. Xu Fengyen stood a few feet away from the fence, said softly: “the court in the matter of the transport of water to make things difficult for the north of Liang, is not all to test my bottom line, it is really the restoration of Western Chu in the near future, then all over the king’s forces do not dare to ask for a large amount of money, but you have to make sure that they can fill up their stomachs, the bow and crossbow a sound, that is the gold of ten thousand taels, war, in the end, is still more than the competition for the family base, otherwise a no money, no food, Gu Jiantang, even if there is no money, no food, no food. Two no food, Gu Jiantang even if empty hundreds of thousands of troops dry eyes, but also can not survive Sun Xizi within the tent, Cao Changqing outside the army of the new Western Chu, many people say that year, if the Western Chu is earlier determination, in the west of the wall of the wall, early to let Cao Changqing divided Ye Baikui’s military power, Liyang to completely pacify the Spring and Autumn, at least to the evening of a five years and ten years.”

Yang Guangdu smiled and said, “The restoration of Western Chu, Yang Mou has done countless projections, there are fights that will definitely not end for a while.”

Xu Fengyen nodded: “The world tax six out of western Chu, these years Liyang but the western Chu was squeezed enough, and then the rich place can not withstand so kill the chicken and take the eggs, but Yuan Benxi Bieye’er this set of people would have had the intention of forcing the western Chu to go against, Gu Jiantang and Gu Lu is also dreaming of fighting with the western Chu, peace and prosperity of the civil officials to enjoy the blessings of the military generals will only be able to eat the old capital, so the Zhao Family The emperor rushed to Zhao right age Yin Mao spring these temple important ministers to find something to do, either to assess the officials, or to preside over the imperial examinations, save time too energetic, can only be used in dragging the feet. So many years, the court intends to weaken the military defense around the western Chu, on the one hand, let the western Chu feel hopeful of restoration, on the other hand, we have to be more sinister, a few major feudal lords not to mention the distant Jiaodong King Zhao Suo, on the Huainan King Zhao Ying and Jing’an King Zhao Heng these, are relatively weak feudal lords, but there are still fewer than four or five thousand more than 10,000 soldiers left on hand, so that they go to pacify the rebellion, that is, they have to Being the imperial court led by the nose to go the Yang plan, honestly run to the border of Xichu to the elite soldiers are beaten clean, such a sinister initiative to cut the clan, must be Yuan Benxi’s idea. Waiting for the matter of West Chu, Guangling King Zhao Yi want to fight with West Chu head on, that a hard to raise fat meat, after this battle, have to cut off half of the autumn fat, bad luck, a soldier and a pawn can not stay, I am for him to feel the flesh pain. Liaodong Zhao Suo Ben was bounced by Gu Jiantang and couldn’t breathe, then only I was left with Yan Zhi Wang Zhao Bing still not in control, but North Mang is more understanding, and Liyang heart to heart, immediately want to fight with Beiliang, you play your West Chu, I play my North Liang, everyone does their own, I doubt Yuan Benxi and that Taiping order is not a gang. In the end, it’s only Zhao Casting his old man, the one great vassal king, who can still get away with it.”

Yang Guangdou gently laughed: “Nalan Yuanci’s ability to avoid trouble, no one can claim to be number one when he claims to be number two in the world.”

Xu Fengyen said to himself, “The battle between Liyang and Xichu must be fought in front of ours and Beimang’s. Even if Zhao knows that Beimang has no time to take care of the eastern front, he won’t allow Gu Jiantang to participate in it, and it’s so hard to get rid of Xu Snapdragon, so we can’t raise another Xu Snapdragon. The ministers can’t talk about what can’t be sealed can’t be rewarded, the generals will most likely have to embrace the military, no surprise, should be Lu Baijie Lu Shengxiang a sitting in the Ministry of the Army, one out of the capital to the south, but Lu Baijie is only new to the Ministry of the Army, the possibility of smaller, Lu Shengxiang as long as the military success, he returned to the capital in order to be good to fight with the Lu Baijie, not so much as to allow the Ministry of the Army to become a one-man Ministry of the Tongxi sword immortal. If it is Lu Shengxiang lead, a few old undead, like An Guo General Yang Shenxeng certainly while still barely on the horse across the sword, to run to get a piece of the pie, but Lu Shengxiang or Yang Shenxiang, this group of spring and autumn veteran generals, too, with Cao Changqing a big difference, Lu Shengxiang is okay, with the army in fact, is not bad, just doomed to be subjected to every aspect of the constraints of the early stage of the disadvantageous situation to go to the death of the war, it is estimated that only the Guangling King Zhao Yi’s soldiers and horses, if I look at it, this battle is not something to fight, but maybe Cao Changqing all the way to the city of Tai’an as if it were a bamboo, directly to the city of Tai’an.”

Yang Guangdu frowned, “Western Chu is going north after gaining the upper hand? Let alone Cao Changqing, even if North Mang dares to place the duel outside Tai’an City, the chances of victory are not much.”

Xu Fengnian laughed, “I’m just saying it off the top of my head.”

Yang Guangdou laughed, “If that’s really the case, it would be a great thing for Bei Liang, maybe Bei Mang would have the temporary intention to decisively give up the western front, turn around to fight on the eastern front, and attack Tai’an City with West Chu in both the north and the south, then it would really be a wonderful thing to do. Gu Jiantang always thought that the reason why he lost to the Great General was because of the timing of the day, but now he will have a chance to prove himself. He built that east line for so many years to people want money money, reach out to the court want what on what, and then to still not help, Gu Jiantang this guy is good to go to take a few noodles to hang himself.”

Cao Wei interjected and asked, “Is Cao Changqing really that powerful?”

Yang Guangdou gently lamented, “Spring and Autumn to Western Chu scholars are most flourishing, Western Chu and Cao Long Carp is the most pleased, Cao head show, the only show Western Chu, this is not bluffing. Only the world was blinded by his four into the palace feat, most think he is a martial arts master of the world, to say that the skills of the formation of troops, probably the strongest count him and Chen Zhi Bao. Gu Jiantang’s strong point is that every battle must first demand to occupy all the advantages, claiming that not to fight is already fighting will win, in general, compared to this Cao Chen two people, or a little inferior. However, the matter of heaven’s time, both ethereal and unattainable, Gu Jiantang’s heaven’s time is the Liyang momentum, Cao Changqing is the length of Western Chu’s qi, as for Chen Zhi Bao, it is estimated that he is still waiting.”

Xu Fengnian smiled indifferently, “Chen Zhi Bao is waiting for Cao Changqing to be destroyed along with Western Chu, waiting for Northern Mang and Northern Liang as well as Gu Jiantang to be greatly wounded, and then it’s his turn to make his debut as a villainous butcher. Xu Snapdragon is just to level the Spring and Autumn, Chen Zhi Bao’s ambition is obviously greater, he wants to personally unify the world, casting a thousand years has not been the vast empire, as for whether he wants to be the emperor himself, God knows.”

Yang Guangdu let out a long breath, “As soon as the great general left, this world began to be in chaos.”

Cao Wei tsked, “I definitely won’t fight Chen Zhi Bao face to face anyway.”

This short man wagged his finger and slowly said, “The land of the displaced people already has the Feng Zi Battalion stationed in Qing Cang, the Little Prince’s Dragon Elephant Army has also penetrated almost to the same extent, together with the Chu Fatty and Yuan Bai Xiong in the north of Liang and You two states, we in Northern Liang finally have our own eastern and western lines, together with the fourteen new lieutenants in the territory of the important towns and passes guarded by them, belonging to the second line of defense. I, then to the land of the stragglers a little more northwest, is a vital third line of defense, in fact, talk about what defense is not defense, anyway, only attack, not defend, and so you fight to the death, I come to a hammer, hey, surnamed Xu, said in advance, to give me 5,000 light cavalry 10,000 horses, I can help you to fish in the water, one breath shoveling the lair of the Southern Dynasties, if you dare to give me 10,000 20,000 horses, I’ll help you put the Northern Dynasty Great King’s Tent down as well.”

Xu Fengyen helplessly said, “It’s not that I can’t give it to you, but do you really think that Northern Mang are all a bunch of blind eyes and a bunch of wine bags?”

Cao Wei blankly said, “Regarding this great run destined to go down in history, I’ve been rummaging around for more than ten years, I’ve been counting on one battle to become famous in my life, you think?”

Xu Fengyen was about to speak when he heard an all too familiar “huh”.
