Chapter 391: What a Paper Talking Game

On the occasion of parting with Xie Xijian’s troops, Six Pearls Bodhisattva once asked this Liuzhou Vice General a heartbreaking question.

Are you not afraid that you and I will hold the two towns of Lingyao Fengxiang, only to lose Qingcang City because 20,000 monks didn’t come to the aid of the Liuzhou battlefield in time?

Xie Xijian’s answer at the time was interesting: with Kou Jianghuai around, it would be impossible.

The Northern Liang border army has always had a habit of being xenophobic, the vice marshal of the infantry army, Gu Dazu, has long won a very high reputation in the Spring and Autumn wars, but outside the Liangzhou Pass, it has never reached the heights it deserves, and with the support of the young feudal king behind him, it hasn’t been able to change that embarrassing situation. Zhou Kang, a partridge, once tore his face off with him on the spot in the military town of Shigetsuka. For example, as a deputy commander of the infantry, if Chen Yuntui has something to discuss with the Liangzhou cavalry, or needs to borrow manpower, perhaps not even need to personally come, a letter can be, or even the sky grumbles and digs the cavalry’s foot, from Yuan Zuozong to He Zhonghu and Zhou Kang, I’m afraid that anyone will tolerate it, and at most laugh and curse a few times in the meeting and deliberation, but it is the turn of Gu Dazu, even if this one is the spring and autumn of the history of the army to secure a place, and is also known as the world’s most popular military general. But when it comes to Gu Dazu, even if this is a veteran general who can secure a place in the history of the art of war in the Spring and Autumn period, and a master of the art of war who is known as the originator of the world’s theory of situation, he would definitely not be treated like this in the Beiliang border army.

Not only is Gu Dazu, in fact, the younger generation of Yu Luan knife at first is not in a good situation, so only from the flow of state to be regarded as the state of Youzhou as a cavalry general, rather than directly in the Liangzhou border riding climb, to know that in the You riding down the series of hulukou outside the battle before the ride, the Youzhou cavalry has always been the top of the eyes of the Liangzhou border riding taunted embroidery Cavalry, privately joked for the old marshal Yan Wenluan’s daughter, embroidery well, okay, fighting absolutely not. The war is absolutely no good.

And then to do with the Dragon Elephant Army neighbors flow state general Kou Jianghuai, after the first Liang Mang war, the Dragon Elephant Army to replenish the source of troops, He Zhonghu or Zhou Kang, even from the boundless customs experience of the young cavalry Cao Wei, to soldiers to generals, Liangzhou border riding up and down although there are grumbles, but in the end they all go along with the young king of the clan’s intention to do it, but the only official title for a state general of the Kou Jianghuai, although the entire Northern Liang officialdom know, this person is in the Guangling Road, a great success of a genius of the art of war, in the end, under the direct line of soldiers and horses, nine out of ten can only stragglers from the youth, and it is said that Kou Jianghuai easily put together a 10,000 people after the cavalry army, whether it is the two Long’s fibers away from the ranch or Tianjing Ranch, are not too happy to deliver to them superior horses, just forcing a young king from the Qingliang Mountain that the harshly-worded orders, which was not to the second best perfunctoriness. The same is true for Kou Jianghuai, in fact.

Kou Jianghuai is so, in fact, the same as one of the Chu double Bijie Xie Xijian is not much better, in the temporary promotion from the third rank of the Liuzhou vice general, in cooperation with Cao Wei Department of elite cavalry rushed to the Miyun mountain pass, he then under the cavalry will come from mixed origins, most of them are from the western region of the horse thieves of the two towns of Fenxiang Lingyao cavalry, together with Chai Dongdie and Han Wenbao recruited two to three thousand cavalry, this kind of disordered horses, I’m afraid that even by the Liangzhou border cavalry despised the I am afraid that even the Yuzhou cavalry, which is looked down upon by the Liangzhou border cavalry, will not be able to look at them.

Whether or not this deep-rooted habit can be changed has a certain relationship with the new Liang King’s personal prestige, but the relationship is definitely not so great that it can be changed overnight.

Moreover, the young king seemed to have almost conceited confidence in this.

As a matter of fact, both Yu Luan Dao, who has already been promoted to the position of Second Vice Marshal of the Left Cavalry by He Zhonghu’s advice, and Kou Jianghuai, the lesser-known general of Liuzhou, have not let Northern Liang down.

Xie Xijian, who had already helped Cao Wei take the battle of Miyun Pass, was even more so.

Fengxiang military town in Xie Xiyuan with troops stationed before, there are two thousand soldiers and horses to guard the city, stragglers and Youzhou foot soldiers half, compared to the low walls of Qingcang city, when the Dafeng dynasty obviously pay more attention to be able to first time reinforcement of the western region of the military town of Fengxiang, the city wall is set to the same scale of the county city, and compared to the Qingcang Linyao two ancient towns, end of the Dafeng dynasty, and the rest of the two towns of the same rank of the county magistrate salaries of the Phoenix, in order to wear the seal of Dafeng, the city is the first to be able to take the county magistrate, the city is the only town that can take the county magistrate rank of the county magistrate. The number of officials who could wear the seal of the Dafeng was more than two hundred, far more than the one hundred and twenty of Lin Yao and Qing Cang. Once the more western Western Region Government is unable to control the size of more than 40 countries within its jurisdiction, whenever there is a war, the defeated and fleeing nobles of the Western Region will inevitably have to pass through the Fengxiang military town before choosing whether to enter the Central Plains by the old Northern Liang or to turn to the southeast and take refuge in Shu Zhao.

Therefore, the history of Fengxiang Military Town, just like its city walls, is thicker than Qingcang Lingyao.

If there is no Xie Xibei’s 10,000 monks as the backbone, Fengxiang military town facing 10,000 South Dynasty foot trekking pawns attacking the city, as well as the three thousand cavalry outside of the city waiting for an opportunity to move, perhaps the most is to try to put down some of the North Mang barbarians under the city and the head of the city of the corpses of the North Mang barbarians, Fengxiang is destined to still be lost, North Liang can only give up this small half of the western region of the strategic point of the hands of this coverage, perhaps the flow of the state was a big defeat in the western front of the army of the Ministry of the Huangsong Pu, Phoenix, Linyao, the gains and losses are not very much. Lin Yao’s gain or loss does not have much significance, but as long as the two sides are stalemated, the two towns in the hands of whom, it is very likely to change the situation, one side is the need for Yu Luan knife and Cao Wei two cavalry to provide a large rear, one side can be used as a Gusai state to gather troops and horses to vigorously reinforce the Huang Song Pu. Especially if the Liuzhou cavalry is lucky to win a big victory, and still have the strength to break through the southern border defense line, north to conquer the Gusei state, then the loss of the two towns of Northern Liang, can even be said to be a fatal mistake.

The 10,000 Southern Dynasties foot soldiers of the ants attacked the city, can be said to be fearless, but due to the victory of a surprise attack, did not carry a large number of provisions and provisions and siege equipment that delayed the speed of the advance, so even if the North Mang think that the attack on the city is not inferior to the Beiliang Youzhou foot soldiers and the Liyang Jishenan foot soldiers of the foot soldiers, played very hard, although in the process of the foot bow shooting each other, there is absolutely no geographic advantage of the city under the foot soldiers still show Amazing accuracy, many of the stragglers who were really involved in the battle for the first time, even if they were warned in advance not to show their heads and watch in between the two rounds of arrows, many of their bodies could only be dragged down the horse path. Under the premise of Xie Xijian’s not utilizing the monks and soldiers of Ruodu Mountain to the greatest extent possible, a set of death-defying soldiers with shields and knives attacked the city several times, and then time and time again, they were killed by the foot soldiers of Youzhou and the young and strong of the migrant people.

From noon to dusk, the foot soldiers paid nearly 2,000 lives, and most of them died on the top of the city, and then were thrown down from the top of the city.

During this period of time, Xie Xijian only allowed everyone’s robust and majestic monk soldiers to participate in the defense twice, twice only.

Night battles were naturally unfavorable to the attacking side, and the foot trekking soldiers gave up after attempting to attack the city once.

After attacking the city many times, but unable to break through, just like a jianghu master can break through the realm only by a thread, naturally, they would not give up on this.

The next day was destined to be an even more grueling battle of attack and defense.

Defending the city side, extremely silent.

Everyone looked at those Ragged Mountain monks and soldiers, especially that expressionless young master general, there was grief and anger in their eyes.

It wasn’t how they were afraid of death, but as long as that young man surnamed Xie was willing to spare a thousand men to come to the front line of the city, they could die a lot less.

Even if it was only five hundred people!

So when the Northern Mang barbarians blew the siege horn in the early morning hours of the next day, and a general who had left from the Youzhou infantry to serve as the Fengxiang army’s town guard general said a word to Xie Xijian, that middle-aged man, who had already been shot through the shoulder by a stray arrow yesterday, personally drew his sword and rushed to the battlefield once again.

It was with a smile that he put down those words.

“Great General Xie, just relax, you can sit on the bench at the top of the city and watch how my Northern Liang Border Army retreats from the enemy!”

In the Central Plains side of the Liyang military, is a lieutenant or a miscellaneous general, may be boasted by others as a great general.

But in Beiliang, only the old Liang Wang Xu Snapdragon one person to bear this honor, riding and foot army Yuan Zuozong and Yan Wenluan can not, the old and new two Beiliang guardian Chen Zhi Bao and Chu Lushan also can not.

In addition to the Yuzhou cavalry that once fought side by side in the Guanwai, the new Liang King Xu Fengnian is still seldom honored as a great general, but more just a prince.

Therefore, Xie Xijian was “honored” as a great general with his family name.

It is definitely not a good intention.

As the vice general of Liuzhou and the governing general of the two towns of Fengxiang and Lingyao, Xie Xijian seemed to be completely unimpressed by this kind of offense, and always kept his face as calm as water as he watched that military general leave with great strides.

Throughout the day, the Bushmen had more than 2,000 lonely souls in the foreign land.

After discussing with the cavalry generals, the 10,000 foot trekking pawn commanders began to withdraw their troops.

Only six hundred of the two thousand foot soldiers that defended the Northern Liang Border Pass remained.

The main general of the city guard who almost died in battle at the city’s head spat out a mouthful of blood after being brutally dragged off the dismounted road by a monk soldier and cursed loudly in the direction of Liuzhou’s vice-general, “Fuck you Xie Xiejian!”

There were six hundred people left, excluding less than a hundred of Yuzhou’s veteran pawns, the rest were all stragglers and youths.

Both sides were filled with hatred towards the young man who was as immovable as a mountain from beginning to end.

At the moment when North Mang was about to retreat, but had not yet retreated

Xie Xijian had already ordered, “The monks and soldiers will follow me out of the city and pester them for at least three hours regardless of the cost.”

This kind of behavior of standing idly by during the battle, but then closing in after the battle to get the credit, in the military law like a mountain of the Northern Liang border, has not been seen once in twenty years.

Xie Xijian did not explain a single word.

The middle-aged monk from Ragged Mountain who had saved the defending general’s life, when following Xie Xiyan down the city, hesitated for a moment and finally asked: ”General Xie, should we notify the Lin Yao military town? Along with that set of Step Trekking Pawns to be eaten together?”

This martial monk was also a top-notch figure in Rotten Mountain, both in terms of his Buddhist teachings and cultivation, he was very outstanding.

One Dharma leads to all Dharmas.

Through that woman Bodhisattva’s secret message before her departure, he had already learned that the Yu Luan Blade Department’s cavalry would urgently turn around and cooperate with them to intercept the Bush Trekking Pawns.

Just for some reason, Xie Xijian shook his head and said, “No need.”

The monk was puzzled, but he did not say much.

After all, Xie Xijian was the main general.

The middle-aged monk had already experienced the horrors of Northern Liang’s military laws.

No matter how disgruntled the 2,000 foot soldiers guarding the city were, no matter how Xie Xijian watched with his hands close at hand, everyone still went to their deaths generously!

He is just full of suspicion, only heard since the ancient sands of military generals, in addition to the history of the fear of their own high achievements of a handful of people, then only dislike of the battle is not big enough, this young man surnamed Xie, but it is very strange.

After Xie Xijian led the monks out of the city, he turned his head and glanced at the Fengxiang military town’s city head which was full of pale and muttered.

“Streaming people streaming people, streaming the people of the state, the people of exile …… Mr. Li, with the military heart ruthless to this, with the military strange to this …… twenty years ago a paper talk, as if it is better than we are now fighting to kill. “
