Chapter 269: Receiving Orders

A group of people along the boarding road up to the new city north wall section of the horse road, which has the Beiliang strategic ambassador Li Gongde, this originally in lingzhou pampered civil leader, in the past years known as the Beiliang Road to do the first person of the old man, after serving as governor of the new city almost everything personally, so that nearly twenty pounds of weight loss, although there is fatigue, but there is a withered wood in the general spirit of the spirit of renewed, the spirit of the young people not less than the same. Li Gongde this half a year almost not much to wear official clothes, not by making the Lord half do not pay attention to the faction of the feudal official, but this iron rooster is really pain in the heart to replace the official clothes of the silver, and then simply plainclothes show people, it is said that boots have changed a dozen pairs of boots, but also from the flashy and gradually become inexpensive boots, how sturdy how to come.

Today, Li Gongde is wearing the second grade embroidered brocade chicken filler uniforms, and the highest rank of military generals in the Northern Liang cavalry commander Yuan Zuozong, a left and a right walk in the young king side, in addition to the two leading civil and military officials of the Northern Liang officials, the lineup can be said to be huge, in addition to the Northern Liang guards Chu Lushan need to keep an eye on the border north of the Hu Tou City, as well as the Yan Wenluan and Chen Yuntui, the two infantry veteran marshal because of the Hulukou hundred of waste and waiting to be developed, but also did not show up, the rest like the two cavalry vice marshal He Zhonghu Zhoukang, infantry vice marshal Gu Dazu, Liangzhou assassin Tian Peifang, the new Liangzhou General Shi Fu, have served as the military and political hand in the territory of Youzhou assassin Hu Kui and the Youzhou General Huangfu Ping, all appeared in today’s wall, the Longxiang Army has Li Mo Fan showed up, Liuzhou has Chen Xiliang and the external use of pseudonyms of the Liuzhou generals Kou Jianghuai, the side of the Youzhou cavalry Yu Luan knife, a single hand Hong Xinjia, who created the Hulukou fort system, and Cao Xiaojiao, the powerful general who won the nickname “fast sword” in the battle of Hulukou, it was this half-reputed general who led 4,000 riders to join hands with Yu Luanjiao, completely blocking the retreat of the army of Yang Yuanzan, the general of the Northern Mang, and it was Cao Xiaojiao who cut off Yang Yuanzan’s head with his own hands.

The top of the city wall has a veritable horse path, the north side of the outer palisade wall has been completed, the inner side of the popular name of the female wall is also about to finish, the next step is to build the wall located in the north of the city gate above the wall of the city tower. Xu Fengyen stood at one of the battlements and looked to the north, from here to the north all the way to the Huaiyang Pass Willow Buds Poria defense line, are easy to ride the cavalry galloped on the flat terrain, He Zhonghu’s left cavalry army and the right cavalry army of the Jin Partridge Zhou Kang was stationed in it, in Xu Snap and Li Yishan’s initial conception, once the Northern Mang captured the Tiger’s Head City, the two main cavalry armies of the Northern Liang Guanwai would be the most heavily battle-damaged soldiers and horses, but because of the first Liang Mang battle left and right two flanks battlefield, Liuzhou Qingcang City and Youzhou Hulukou, Bei Mang suffered heavy casualties not to mention that they have not been able to gain a firm foothold, which led to the two Bei Liang cavalry armies totaling more than seventy thousand surprisingly unprecedentedly did not have any casualties, which is the real bottom line for Bei Liang to fight with Bei Mang in the second big battle.

Xu Fengyen was in two minds, while listening to Li Gongde carefully recounting the process of the new city, while thinking about the next mobilization of the cavalry, when in order to defend the flow state to the Northern Liang to win horizontal strategic depth, in Xu Snap’s hands to expand the Dragon Elephant Army, the requirements of as far as possible without affecting the combat effectiveness of the premise from 10,000 to 30,000, the border cavalry is impossible to get more than 20,000 out of thin air, naturally, it is from the left and right cavalry to draw the elite, in fact, has already been unavoidable Weakening the main border cavalry’s combat power, the problem is that now 30,000 Longxiang army outside Qingcang city almost hit no, Liuzhou of course absolutely can not be abandoned, and even in the future of the new situation of no war in Youzhou is more and more important, how to do? Martial arts master Xu Fengyen can use his will as a sword, but the land immortals are not the kind of true immortals who can make an army out of beans, so he can only continue to ask for people from He Zhonghu and Zhou Kang, not only does the Dragon Elephant Army need people, Kou Jianghuai, the great achievements of the Liuzhou generals also want to set up their own full-fledged troops, Yu Luan blade of the Youzhou cavalry is more in the sense of the reason is to be replenished, in this way, not to say that the fiery temper of the Jinzhi partridges, even if it is a very good talker is willing to consider the big picture. The best way to talk is to take into account the overall situation of He Zhonghu, also worried to find him privately as the king of Beilang, the implication is that the left cavalry can be given to the people, but I hope that the left cavalry do not break the bones and break the legs, Cao Wei wants two thousand people is just, the Kou Jianghuai and Li Moran this two flow of the army of the two big brother is really a big lion’s mouth ah, a want to 8000, one wants to fifteen thousand! They also need to be elite soldiers! He Zhonghu laughed bitterly and laughed with Xu Fengnian, “I can’t fill the two generals’ appetite even if I dismantle all my old bones”. As for the same cavalry vice marshal Zhou Kang, is even more oil and salt, even Kou Jianghuai Li Mo Fan’s face are not willing to see, directly put the word out, only a life, the right cavalry soldiers do not want to take away a pawn!

In this matter, the entire Beiliang actually only three people can speak, Chu Lushan, Wutong courtyard of Xu Weixiong, and then Xu Fengnian. The rest, even if the “high merit” such as the Spring and Autumn veteran Yan Wenluan, as the commander-in-chief of the infantry army, certainly will not be involved in the military affairs of the cavalry, especially this extremely sensitive large-scale changes. Gu Dazu as the world situation theory of the founding grandfather, originally, although in the infantry, but the roots are not deep also have the advantage of being able to advise, but at that time after the fall of Hutou City in the turmoil of the “war or defense”, and the entire border army warring factions of the war, and Zhou Kang is even more tearing their faces off, just short of a major fight only. Yuan Zuozong regardless of the identity of the Xu family, or in the position and prestige of the Beiliang army, but also counted a handful of figures can talk, but Yuan Zuozong on this matter has always kept his mouth shut, on the surface of the surface this is related to his busy reorganization of 10,000 great snow dragon riders and two heavy cavalry, but Xu Fengyen knows that Yuan Zuozong is in the scruples of that after the war to keep silent Chu Lushan. And even if Xu Weixiong wanted to say it, Xu Fengyen did not want her to open this mouth.

Beiliang is different from Liyang. A word to decide the life and death of another person, there is no pleasure, just a burden.

As long as there is still a man in the Xu family, it is not Xu Weixiong’s turn to carry the burden on her shoulders.

Xu Fengyen looked into the distance, in the jianghu, he experienced many times life and death battle, many times can be said to escape from death, but after the fact, often less palpitations, and Tuoba Bodhisattva that death battle, and even a little bit of intention is not yet finished, as for the take down Qijiajie sword and Tai’an City Qin Tianjian beheading of celestial beheading, like turning over an old account, turn it over and turn it over. But this Liangmang battle, Xu Fengyen for the first time really had a feeling of survival, because Huang Barbarian almost died outside Qingcang city, if not for the vice general Wang Lingbao, Huang Barbarian would have really died. This time, as soon as Huang Ban Er heard that this brother of his was coming to the new city, he rushed back to Liuzhou that night with the cavalry under his command, probably for fear that Xu Feng Nian would scold him, or perhaps with an unknown guilt. Huang Ban Er even dared not go back to Qingliang Mountain in Liangzhou, where there was his second sister Xu Weixiong, and to Xu Longxiang, the weight of a word from his second sister when she was angry was only heavier than the weight of Tuo Bao Bodhisattva’s pouring out of his heart.

The sun sets in the west, the long river sets the sun round.

There was no longer any wolf smoke at the border.

But in half a year’s time, or even less, it will be smoke and mirrors again.

Bei Liang’s next big battle, even if there will be no big battles within the Hulukou, compared to earlier, the western Shu further south of Lingshou has an extra Shu King Chen Zhi Bao with an unpredictable mind.

As long as North Mang still uses the western front as a breakthrough, then the perilous situation of North Liang is actually not alleviated in the slightest.

It could only continue to exchange lives for lives, only to see if Beiliang could exchange one life for many lives, and could exchange one life for several lives of the North Mang barbarians.

Xu Fengyen gently exhaled a breath without turning around and said in a deep voice, “Zhou Kang!”

Jin Partridge stepped forward and cupped his fists, “Last General is here!”

Xu Fengnian said in a flat tone, “Together with the two thousand riders from the Great Flint Battalion, transfer a total of eight thousand men from the Right Cavalry to the Yu Luan Blade’s Yuzhou Cavalry.”

The veteran general Zhou Kang was silent, and Xu Fengyen did not force this vice marshal of the cavalry army to state his position, for a while above the city, the atmosphere was gloomy.

Zhou Kang finally gritted his teeth and said, “Take orders!”

Xu Fengyen turned his head to Yu Luanjie and said, “All the border cavalry in Youzhou are transferred to the Liangzhou Pass and are responsible for manning the area around the Buckle Ranch, you have up to half a year to grind.”

Yu Luanjie said in a deep voice, “Last general will lead the way!”

Next Xu Fengnian gave a military order in a very fast speech, “He Zhonghu, excluding the 2,000 riders transferred to Cao Wei, 10,000 riders within the old Iron Tablet battalion are allocated to the Liuzhou Dragon Elephant Army.”

“Yuan Zuozong is no longer in charge of the cavalry of the Jibei camp, transfer it to General Kou of Liuzhou.”

“Shi Fu, you are permitted to draw out 5,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry from within Beiliang to garrison the area around Horseback Slope to the north.”

“Hong Piao is promoted to be the main general of the heavy cavalry rouge army.”

“Cao Xiaojiao is concurrently the Vice General of Youzhou.”

“General Huangfu Ping of Youzhou is in full charge of the eastern front of Helan Mountain.”

“Chen Xiliang was promoted to the position of Liuzhou Farewell, and is responsible for recruiting six thousand Liuzhou youths into the army within three months; three thousand will stay in Qingcang City, and three thousand will enter Lingshou, and these six thousand youths and their families will be able to obtain the Beiliang soldier’s registry.”

A sound of receiving orders gradually resounded at the head of this city.

Finally, Xu Fengyen turned around and looked at the faces, old as Hao Zhonghu Zhou Kang, young and strong as Yuan Zuozong Shi Fu, young as Yu Luan Blade Cao Xiaojiao.

North Liang three generations of military generals.

Xu Fengnian slowly said, “Gentlemen, the next three years of Xiangfu, even if you die in battle, you will have to die before the completion of this new city under our feet.”

On the top of the city, there were no grandiose words, no impassioned speeches.

There was silence.

Everyone just clasped their fists violently without any agreement.
