Marching Sima

Chapter 350 Marching Sima
After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it faced the threat of the Northern Liao Dynasty.

The humiliation in the early stage was exchanged for Emperor Wu's swagger, defeating the invincible Beiliao iron cavalry.

As a result, this land has become a battlefield between the Tang Dynasty and the Beiliao Dynasty. The two countries are fighting endlessly. Today you win, and tomorrow I win, and I will appear on the stage after you sing.

Until the reign of Emperor Wu, the balance of power between the two countries was still maintained, Beiliao did not dare to go south, and Datang also maintained the current situation.

But people are cheap skins. After there is no external trouble, internal chaos will arise.

At the end of Empress Wu, Li Yuan and Li Bi's father and son rebelled.

As a result, Datang's national situation began to decline.

Although there were more internal struggles in Beiliao, their aggressive nature allowed them to continue to maintain their combat effectiveness.

Therefore, the balance of power between the two countries was broken.

Beiliao began to look at it covetously, wanting to rush into the fancy world of Datang to snatch it, and even wiped out Datang and established an unprecedented empire.

Northern Xinjiang bears the brunt.

In these years, Beijiang has always adopted a defensive posture, that is, the turtle does not come out.

Chenzhou was even worse. He Lianchun ordered the three ministries to frequently harass and attack all parts of Chenzhou.The city can protect the army and the people, but the common people who go out to farm the land suffer bad luck...

Over the years, we often heard news that someone went out of the city to farm and never came back, and then there were warning signs that the three major groups had invaded.

But what can Chen Zhou do?

Active attack?

Not this strength.

The group of nobles in Chang'an didn't intend to let them attack, as long as they guarded.

The people were panicked, and they looked at the army with strange eyes.

Bunch of trash!
Suffocated!
Wu Shunze has been aggrieved for many years.

Today, Yang Xuan faced the pressure from the three major ministries and the Tanzhou Army, Wu Shunze felt that he should choose to accept it as soon as it was good.

This is also in line with Chen Zhou's attitude towards the outside world over the years.

The soldiers thought the same way, so when the head fell to the ground, they couldn't believe it.

When did Chen Zhou become so tough?

Immediately, a surge of hot blood rushed up.

Yang Xuan looked at the enemy in front of him coldly, got on his horse, and shouted: "Big banner!"

The tall flag-bearer was very excited and tried his best to raise the Yang-shaped flag high.

Under the banner, Yang Xuan raised his hand.

Two thousand riders lined up behind him.

For the first time, King Wei willingly stayed behind Yang Xuan.

It was the first time for Tu Chang to take the initiative to stay behind Yang Xuan. He was thinking, if the rulers and ministers of the Southern Zhou Dynasty had the courage to face a strong enemy and still dare to fight, how would they be in today's predicament?
He Lianchun got on the horse.

"Uncle Emperor!" Zhang Zhuo rode over, "Yang Gou despises Uncle Emperor!"

let's hit!

Even Huai En volunteered, "Uncle Emperor, if Yang Gou is killed, my Jibo Department is willing to be the forward."

He had just lost more than a thousand cavalry, and Zhanbi was also severely injured, this hatred was hard to dispel.

If Chenzhou can be greatly weakened, the next three major ministries will be able to attack the city and seize territory in the south, and the situation will naturally be different.

He Lianchun knew what they were thinking.

However, he has to judge the consequences of this matter.

And, is Yang Xuan bluffing, or is he trying to fight to the death?
"Gather together!" He Lianchun said calmly.

More than [-] troops began to form formation.

He Lianchun was looking across.

Facing such coercion, what would Yang Xuan do?

Choke!

Yang Xuan's response was to pull out the horizontal knife.

"You want to kill me?" He said with a sneer, "This grassland is very wide. This trip is all good horses. It doesn't matter if we go for a walk. The three major groups share the same bed with different dreams and have different ideas. They can't form a joint force. Want to siege me? Then come and try!"

The old thief was reading a pamphlet.

"When the enemy is outnumbered, be a guerrilla."

He Lianchun never ordered.

Yang Xuan didn't run away.

Gradually.

The atmosphere has changed.

He Lianchun smiled.

Yang Xuan smiled.

Ha ha!

Ha ha!

"Peace is the most important thing." Uncle Huang rode over alone.

"Peace!" Yang Xuan rode out alone.

The two approached.

The emperor's uncle said kindly: "This king has underestimated you."

"I also underestimated the emperor's uncle." Yang Xuanqing said sincerely: "This time, the emperor's uncle succeeded in tearing apart the Tiger Control Department and Chen Zhou. In this way, the rebellious Zhang Zhuo will be intimidated by the situation and obey the emperor's words. , becoming the emperor's uncle's loyal dog, this time the emperor's uncle can be called a bumper harvest!"

Uncle Huang sighed: "To defeat the southern part of the town, Zhang Zhuo's plan was defeated, and by the way, in front of the three major troops, he forced Zhang Zhuo to kill Shinyue, and even killed his generals in public... They can’t hold it back, so no one from the three major groups dare to underestimate Chenzhou, and they have to be careful when they want to plunder in the future, this king is thinking, do you want to open up wasteland?”

"Ha ha!"

"Ha ha!"

Both foxes have accomplished their goals for this trip, and they are smiling very sincerely at this moment.

"Uncle Huang can go to Lin'an for a sit-down when he has free time, and I will serve you good tea."

"Zitai will go to Tanzhou again when he has time. I have prepared some beauties for you."

Yang Xuan sighed, "I'm married."

"What about getting married?"

"I have a bad waist."

"Take a few pills of Rejuvenation Pill."

"Speaking of Rejuvenation Pill, Uncle Huang, it's time to increase the price." Yang Xuan smiled like a profiteer.

He Lianchun's cheeks trembled slightly, "Are you sure?"

"I heard that Ningxing's Rejuvenation Pill has been sold at a sky-high price. Uncle Emperor, it's time to raise the price." Yang Xuan sighed, "Nowadays, Taiping's artificial labor is getting higher and higher, and the price of medicinal materials has also increased. goods?"

"That's it!"

The two rode their horses back.

"Uncle Emperor." Zhang Zhuo couldn't help asking, "Why didn't you attack?"

This idiot, no, this person is not stupid, he is just too selfish. He Lianyan glanced at Zhang Zhuo, thinking that what the emperor wants is checks and balances, not breaking the current balance of power.

The balance of power was broken, and if Ningxing's army moved, Lin Ya and the others would follow suit.

Ning Xing's situation is unstable, and Tanzhou can't make big moves!
This is the emperor's uncle's plan, Zhang Zhuo and others naturally don't know, so they feel that the emperor's uncle is a little weird today.

But Yang Gou, no, Yang Xuan actually guessed it too, so he is confident!

He Lianyan glanced at Yang Xuan who was opposite, Yang Xuan raised his eyebrows and waved.

He looked like a young man who You Chun waved and flirted with after seeing a beauty.

The key is that Yang Xuan spoke.

"Spring tour, apricot blossoms blowing all over your head..."

Pooh!
He Lianyan couldn't help but want to pooh him.

He Lianchun said flatly: "Peace is the most important thing!"

He doesn't have to explain it to his dog.

The disappointment in Zhang Zhuo's eyes flashed away.

On Yang Xuan's side, King Wei asked, "What does He Lianchun mean?"

Yang Xuan said: "After the destruction of Vaxie, the balance between the three major ministries was broken. He Lianchun's move is to use Chen Zhou as the enemy of the three major ministries, and to check and balance them again."

Li Han said: "The old dog's methods are good, but this time we are not at a loss."

It's not a loss!
"The Chenzhou army has not taken the initiative to attack the grassland for many years. This time they defeated the joint attack of the three major divisions, which effectively deterred the opponent. When the news spreads back, the soldiers and civilians of Chenzhou will rejoice."

Li Han whispered: "The important thing is, how do you, the new governor, burn the three fires? Internal fires will inevitably cause conflicts due to lack of prestige, but your first fire burned on the grassland. Go back, who dares to disobey you?"

He glanced at King Wei, and found that King Wei looked a bit sad, so he persuaded: "Your Majesty is not good at these things, just find a few more think tanks in the future."

Once in and out, He Lianchun and Yang Xuanying were paralyzed.

"Uncle Emperor, farewell." Yang Xuan's trip was fruitful.

"Go slowly!" He Lianchun was satisfied this time.

Turning his head, Yang Xuan ordered: "The scouts stare at the back, be careful."

"Mr. Lang is worried that He Lianchun will be attacked?"

"That's right, I don't worry about the old dog!"

Over there, He Lianchun ordered: "Send more scouts to watch around."

He Lianyan asked: "Uncle Huang is worried that Yang Xuan will turn around and kill him?"

Uncle Huang said flatly: "That's right, I don't worry about that kid."

……

On the return journey, Chen Zhoujun's speed was not fast.

In the afternoon five days later, after setting up the camp, Yang Xuan was so hungry, "Roast a fat sheep, second child, take out your jerky to fill your stomach first."

Wang Laoer took out the jerky in distress, and everyone stretched out their hands one after another, grabbing it all in a flash.

"I will pay you two bags later." King Wei was very angry.

While eating the jerky, Li Han said, "My share of King Wei's compensation."

Wang Laoer squatted down to calculate how much jerky he could earn this time.

Jerky has high calories and is most suitable for carrying as dry food. Together with flatbread, it is a must for home travel.

Yang Xuan thought of how when he first arrived in Chenzhou, in Lin'an, Liu Qing gave him several carts of dried meat as a gift.

He looked in the direction of Tao County.

Taoxian hidden dragon and crouching tiger, how is the old man, has he ever stood firm?
"Lang Jun!" A guard ran over, "That masked man is here again."

Yang Xuan stuffed the jerky into his mouth, and said vaguely: "I want the front legs of the roasted lamb, and two more cakes, as well as the vegetable soup. Tell the cook, if you add more salt, you will marinate him later."

Yang Xuan entered the tent.

After a while, someone outside reported.

"Lang Jun, he is here."

"Come in!"

Yang Xuan picked up a book and read it.

The three words of parenting scriptures are very clear.

Xin Wuji came in, then pulled off his face scarf, knelt down, "I've seen the master."

Yang Xuan was just reading.

Xin Wuji didn't dare to get up, but just lowered his head.

After a long time, he heard the sound of the scroll being closed.

"Do you understand what He Lianchun means?"

"Understood." After all, Xin Wuji was a general of the Northern Liao Dynasty, and his quality is not low. "He wants the three major ministries to be enemies with Chenzhou, so the three major ministries have to rely on him..."

"He wants to retrain three dogs."

"Yes."

Yang Xuan said playfully: "Then, whose dog do you want to be?"

Xin Wuji said without hesitation, "I am willing to be the master's dog."

"Aren't you worried about the Northern Liao victory?"

"The master is wise and mighty..."

A series of flattery blurted out.

"Stop!" Yang Xuan felt that he was getting a little flustered, and he couldn't help but secretly wake up.

Is it so comfortable to be touted?High-spirited, contented, inflated batch of...

"Who did you learn your bragging skills from?"

"I learned from Wynn and others recently. The villain watched them praise He Lianchun, so he learned a lot."

"I didn't expect you to be quite talented."

"Master's reward."

"After this time, the situation on both sides seems to be balanced again, but He Lianchun underestimated the ambition and wildness of the three major ministries. The harassment of Chenzhou will not stop. In this way, I will have an excuse to attack the three major ministries. What should you do?" ?”

"If the villain doesn't attack, I'm worried that it will arouse He Lianchun's suspicion. The villain thinks it's best to behave."

"Go!"

"Yes!"

Xin Wuji left, and a person turned around behind the tent, but he was an old thief.

"Lang Jun also has a dog?"

"I thought he was a human, but he was a dog."

"He seems to be more respectful this time."

Yang Xuan said indifferently: "This time I beheaded Zhang Zhuo's generals in front of the three major ministries and He Lianchun, and I still led them back calmly. He was a little scared."

"afraid?"

"The south of the town is right in front of Chen Zhou. If he doesn't want to be a dog, then I'll let him be a ghost!"

Yang Xuan's stomach growled.

Someone is arguing outside.

"This piece of meat is mine!" Wang Lao Er was angry.

King Wei's voice came, "This king wants two hind legs, look at the knife!"

The wind of the knife is bitter, but it is for two roasted lamb legs.

Yang Xuan's head was full of black lines.

"I want ribs!" Nan He ate something different.

"The front legs are mine!" Li Han said.

Yang Xuan couldn't bear it anymore, and his figure flashed out of the tent.

"Put down the front legs!"

……

Peach County.

The weather became hotter, and Huang Chunhui's life became much easier, and he would go out of the guard's room from time to time to check around.

One day he came back from the outside, and after sitting down, Liao Jin sent someone to get some hot tea.

"The old man just went to the army to have a look. He has practiced well, but he is a bit slack." Huang Chunhui took a sip of hot tea.

"Beiliao will probably not send troops this year. The soldiers are too tense. It's better to relax now." Liao Jin sat down.

"Where's Liu Qing?" Huang Chunhui asked.

"It is said to go to the workshop to have a look."

"He, the marching commander, came to Tao County and kept silent. The old man knew that he was holding back and wanted to let the officials of Tao County see his ability, but the time is not short. Tell him, don't think about telling the old man. The whole big movement, casually."

"Master, he's wandering around in the workshop, it's not a good place." Liao Jin said: "He doesn't understand those smelting methods, if he speaks indiscriminately, his prestige will be ruined!"

……

Tao County has limited official positions, but as a Jiedu envoy, Huang Chunhui was able to enlist staff members.

At the moment Liu Qing is the marching commander of the Northern Xinjiang Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, with the official title of Minister of Zhongshu, and his management is wide.

This is not a joke. The marching Sima looks like a military officer, but he is the arm of the Jiedushi, assisting Huang Chunhui in managing military affairs, counselors, and managing military law.

A workshop in the south of the city is responsible for making horizontal knives.

Every year, a huge amount of materials come in and out here. As the steward, Chen Ding can be regarded as a prince.

Entering the workshop early in the morning, seeing that the craftsmen were already in place, Chen Ding said with satisfaction: "This year's important task of [-] horizontal knives must be completed one month in advance. Tell them that the completion of the wine and esophagus is enough, and it is not completed... ...Who dragged down the official business, yeah let him be bruised."

In the workshop, Chen Ding is the sky, and he says what he says.

Pointing forward, "That old man is here again."

A black and thin old man squatted by the stove, watching the craftsman put the semi-finished product in and heat it, and then took it out and beat it.

"Liu Han!" Chen Ding waved.

The black and thin old man came over, "Guan Chen, what's the matter?"

Chen Ding frowned, "It says you are here to assist the management, do you understand the assistant?"

Liu Han said: "Just do what the steward tells you, and the old man will do it."

"Since you've come to our place, it's useless to not know the art of crafting. You follow others to learn."

Liu Han nodded, "It's easy to say."

Chen Ding said: "You choose a master yourself."

"Yes." Liu Han pointed to a craftsman in his 40s and said, "Guo Yong is very nice and kind."

Guo Yong is an old craftsman. When Liu Han came over, he whispered: "You are a petty official, you don't need to do these things. The manager is oppressing you!"

"The old man can't beat it either."

"Then you're still here?"

"The old man wants something, and it looks like it's almost there, and it's only two days away, so I'll hang out with you first."

"what?"

"Things that kill people!"

"You old man, you know how to joke."

"Yeah! The old man is joking."

Liu Han... Liu Qing smiled, his eyes sharpened suddenly.
