The fat tomb prepared during one's lifetime of Lingzhou southern boundary is the northwest end point of Liyang transporting grain by water, the center that the Xiangfan of Qingzhou is located in this empire line of supply, therefore the royal government must act bashful the Beiliang seven cuns (2.5 cm) accurate, must have the coordination of Ping'an Prince Zhao Xun, currently speaking, holds the post of secretariat left Pushe the movement of broad and level old man very satisfied Xiangfan, for this reason begged one to make an exception to promote with the royal government, similarly did not gather give a ranking of custom, the Ping'an Prince mansion secret land boasted naturally welcome before., bestows the academician to lecture, namely the ordinary citizens so-called big palace gate court attendant, and permitted as a special case its not to need Capital City to proceed to new official post to serve as a petty government official Previously Beiliang Chen Xiliang once was listed the fat tomb prepared during one's lifetime, vice- made Gu Dacheng delay scene of enough one ten-day period with the royal government transporting grain by water, used up all the tricks, cannot make this vice- enable the Sir to have slight relenting. Before dawn, a simple carriage is driven into the fat tomb prepared during one's lifetime by the north gate, the mountain sea wharf in south city stops, goes down three disparities of age from the carriage the man, two youngster of a similar age, a look thin azure garment old man, three people stand in deserted do not see the lonely wharves of several grain ships, the short youngster waist wore the cool blade, trampled one to tie up the ship wooden stake with the foot, the eye looks to the temporary official mansion that tax grain transported vice- enables to be, said with full grayish white young son of the influential ill-humoredly: „Gu Dacheng with his father Gu Zhui was known as that the river bank size attended to brave, Gu Zhui recognized present Si Lijian to be in charge Master of court eunuch to be the adoptive father in the past, the father and son can hold the post of the tax grain transportation to cause successively, the money of it is said making can fill up a C words granary, but Gu Dacheng this fellow turns over to corruptly corruptly, now the royal government has Old Man Huan to stare at his purse personally, the courage is fat, does not dare to want a Beiliang copper coin. Wants me to look, this is a dead end, might as well butchered simply surnamed Gu, to several transportation cause to kill several afterward, kills the Liyang that side no one to dare to touch the mildew head, our Beiliang swaggering are when the time comes private the tax grain, from the fat tomb prepared during one's lifetime to Xiangfan city transporting grain by water, the size 16 ditches, granary more than 50, always has the place to dare with Beiliang to do business boldly horizontally, to say the least, is not really good, we snatch, Qingliang Mountain raised so many rivers and lakes falcons and dogs, cannot the light eat meal year to year is not present at work, in the world not good deed like this.” 陵州南境的肥寿城是离阳漕运的西北终点,青州的襄樊则位于这条帝国补给线的中枢,因此朝廷要精准拿捏住北凉的七寸,就必须要有靖安王赵珣的配合,就目前而言,担任中书省左仆射的坦坦翁很满意襄樊方面的动作,为此跟朝廷讨要了一份破例擢升,同样也是不合规矩的授衔,把靖安王府幕后的陆诩大大方方请到了台前,赐翰林讲学,即寻常百姓所谓的大黄门郎,并且特准其不用去京城赴任当差。先前北凉陈锡亮曾暂居肥寿城,跟朝廷漕运副使顾大城拖磨了足足一旬的光景,机关算尽,都没能让这位副使大人有丝毫的松口。拂晓时分,一辆简易马车由北门驶入肥寿城,在南城的山海码头停下,从马车上走下三名年龄悬殊的男子,两个年纪相仿的年轻人,一位相貌清癯的青衫老者,三人站在空落落不见几艘粮船的冷清码头,身材矮小的年轻人腰间佩了柄凉刀,用脚踹了踹一根拴船木桩,眼睛瞄向那座漕粮转运副使所在的临时官邸,跟身边满头灰白的年轻公子哥没好气说道:“顾大城跟他老爹顾骓号称河上大小顾貔貅,顾骓当年认了如今司礼监掌印太监的师父做义父,父子得以先后担任漕粮转运使,据说赚到的银子都能把一个丙字号粮仓填满,不过顾大城这家伙贪归贪,如今朝廷有桓老头亲自盯着他的钱袋子,胆子再肥,也不敢要北凉的一颗铜钱。要我看,这本就是个死局,还不如干脆宰了姓顾的,以后来几个转运使就杀几个,杀得离阳那边没人敢来触霉头,到时候咱们北凉自个儿大摇大摆私营漕粮,从肥寿城到襄樊城这一段漕运,大小十六渠,粮仓不下五十座,总有地方豪横敢跟北凉做买卖的,退一步说,实在不行,咱们就抢嘛,清凉山养了那么多江湖鹰犬,总不能常年光吃饭不出工,天底下没这样的好事。” Beiliang Prince that what a pity does surveys in a quiet way has not echoed his half character with black ink gate great master Yang Guangdou, only takes a walk along the blue stone floor of mountain sea wharf slowly, moves toward the transportation of not far away to cause the official mansion. The official mansion establishes already some years, in addition repairs rare, compares the Prefecture Protector mansion in city, even more appears damaged. This looking after the household father and son do not keep up the appearance no wonder, really oversteps one's authority slightly, gives the royal government the official charged with remonstrating with the emperor to talk into colludes with Beiliang to line one's purse, that cannot impeach, calculates that on Capital City in the big officials support are not of use, who at this matter asked for leniency who courted death. The transportation enables the mansion surrounding to have the stockade, more than ten feelings that wears armor the soldiers to be a little frightened by the slightest sound, the look shrinks. Some birth local stubbornly disobedient young children threw the pebble toward the stockade inside unceasingly, had no armed soldier to dare to disclose, was really bored, has to try to find pleasure amidst suffering, while master not on the scene, triumphed over the pebble with the iron lance, making that help/gang play the heart very heavy child to always enjoy, looks around the pebble to throw toward. Xu Fengnian stands in the place several feet away to the stockade, said in a soft voice: „Royal government creates obstacles for Beiliang at the transporting grain by water incident , is not tests my bottom line, is really the Western Chu duplicate/restores country nears, although when the time comes the master of each region Emperor Qin does not dare to have a lion's share, but must guarantee that they can fill the belly, bend a crossbow sound, that is the gold 10,000 tael, goes to war, in the final analysis competition family property, otherwise does not have money two not to have the grain, even if Gu Jiantang has several hundred thousand armies to stare on helplessly spatially, could not endure to have Sun Xiji to map out strategic plans in an army tent new Western Chu that the Cao Changqing series soldier goes on an expedition outside, many people said in the past Western Chu, if set firm resolve sooner, built the wall before west, let the Cao Changqing minute/share early the Ye Baikui military power, Liyang was thorough. Stills Spring and Autumn, at least needs in the evening five years ten years.” 可惜微服私访的北凉王跟墨门巨匠杨光斗就没有附和他半个字,仅是沿着山海码头的青石地板缓缓散步,走向不远处的转运使官邸。官邸建立已经有些年月,加上少有修葺,相较城内的郡守府邸,就愈发显得破败不堪。这也怪不得顾家父子不去装点门面,实在是稍有僭越,就给朝廷言官说成勾结北凉中饱私囊,那还不得往死里弹劾,就京城里算有大宦官撑腰也不顶用,在这种事情上谁说情谁找死。转运使府邸外围有栅栏,十几名披甲士卒都有点风声鹤唳的感觉,眼神畏缩。一些个出生当地的顽劣稚童往栅栏里头不断扔石子,也没有任何一名甲士胆敢声张,实在无聊,就只好苦中作乐,趁着官老爷不在场,用铁矛去挑落石子,让那帮本就玩心很重的孩童更是乐此不疲,四处找石子往里丢掷。徐凤年站在离栅栏几丈外的地方,轻声说道:“朝廷在漕运一事上刁难北凉,也不全是试探我的底线,实在是西楚复国在即,到时候各地勤王之师虽说不敢狮子大开口,可总得保证他们能填饱肚子,弓弩一响,那就是黄金万两,打仗,说到底还是比拼家底,否则一没钱二没粮,顾剑棠就算空有几十万大军干瞪眼,也熬不过有孙希济在内运筹帷幄、曹长卿在外统兵征战的新西楚,很多人都说当年西楚若是早些下定决心,在西垒壁之前,早早让曹长卿分去叶白夔的兵权,离阳要彻底平定春秋,起码要晚上个五年十年的。” The Yang Guangdou smile said: „The Western Chu duplicate/restores country incident, Yang had once made the innumerable deductions, some hit, for a short time affirmed that could not finish.” 杨光斗微笑道:“西楚复国一事,杨某曾做过无数次推演,有的打,一时半会儿肯定结束不掉。” The Xu Fengnian nod said: „The world pays taxes six Western Chu, these year of Liyang Western Chu squeezing enough miserably, the bountiful place cannot withstand kills the chicken to get the eggs, but Yuan Benxi blue eyes this group of people must compel Western Chu to go intentionally instead, Gu Jiantang is also has a dream with Gu Lu is thinking can hit with Western Chu, piping time of peace civil official enjoys happiness, the military commander can only rest on one's laurels, therefore Zhao Family Son of Heaven hurries to give Zhao Youling flourishing potassium alum spring these temple high-ranking court officials to look for a matter to do, either examines and critiques the official, either presides over the imperial civil service examination, avoid the energy is too when the time comes exuberant, can only use on holding back. So many years, the royal government intends peripheral to weaken the soldier to guard in Western Chu, on the one hand makes Western Chu think that the duplicate/restores country is hopeful, on the other hand wanted to be attentively more dangerous, inside several big Regional Prince did not say Jiaodong Prince Zhao Sui that was far away, said Huainan Prince Zhao Ying with Ping'an Prince Zhao Heng these, belonged to relative potential weak Regional Prince, but on was also left over little more than 4,000-5,000 10,000 many crack troops on hand, making them go to Jin difficulty to put down a rebellion, has to by the open intrigue that the royal government led by the nose, ran in the Western Chu border to hit cleanly, such sinister and ruthless reducing feudatories action the crack troops honestly, affirmative was the idea of Yuan Benxi. The fat when the Western Chu matter, Guangling Prince Zhao Yi must with the Western Chu head confrontation, that raise with great difficulty, after this war, must rip the most autumn fat, the luck is not good, the soldiers cannot stay behind, I feel the anxiety for him. Eastern Liaoning Zhao Sui was repressed by Gu Jiantang has not gasped for breath, then only left behind me still is not controlled with Yanchi Prince Zhao Bing, but Beimang was with good intention, was of one mind with Liyang, immediately must die to knock with Beiliang, you hit your Western Chu, I hit my Beiliang, everyone did respectively various, I suspected that Yuan Benxi with that peaceful command was one group. In the final analysis, only has Zhao Zhu his father big Regional Prince also to be free and unrestrained.” 徐凤年点头道:“天下赋税六出西楚,这些年离阳可是把西楚给压榨得够惨,再富饶的地方也经不起这么杀鸡取卵,不过元本溪碧眼儿这拨人本来就存心要逼着西楚去反,顾剑棠跟顾庐也是做梦都想着能跟西楚打起来,太平盛世文官享福,武将就只能吃老本,所以赵家天子赶紧给赵右龄殷茂春这些庙堂重臣找点事情做,要么去考评官员,要么去主持科举,省得到时候精力太旺盛,只能用在拖后腿上。这么多年,朝廷有意在西楚周边削弱兵防,一方面让西楚觉得复国有望,另一方面就要用心险恶些了,几大藩王里头不去说路途遥远的胶东王赵睢,就说淮南王赵英跟靖安王赵衡这几位,都属于相对势弱的藩王,但是手头上还剩下了少则4,000-5,000多则一万多的精兵,让他们去靖难平乱,就是不得不被朝廷牵着鼻子走的阳谋,老老实实跑去西楚边境上把精兵都打得一干二净,这样阴毒的削藩举措,肯定是元本溪的主意。等到西楚事了,广陵王赵毅要跟西楚正面交锋,那一身好不容易养出来的肥肉,经此一战,得割掉大半秋膘,运气不好,一兵一卒都留不下,我都替他感到肉疼。辽东赵睢本就被顾剑棠弹压得喘不过气,那么就只留下我跟燕敕王赵炳仍然不受管束,但是北莽多善解人意,跟离阳心有灵犀,马上要跟北凉死磕,你打你的西楚,我打我的北凉,大家各做各的,我都怀疑元本溪跟那个太平令是不是一伙的。说到底,就只有赵铸他老爹这一位大藩王还能逍遥自在。” Yang Guangdou said with a smile gently: „Naslin right evades the calamity kindly the ability, said that whom Second Under Heaven does not have to call first.” 杨光斗轻轻笑道:“纳兰右慈避祸的本领,自称天下第二没谁能称第一。” Xu Fengnian thought aloud: „Liyang Western Chu this weaponry must certainly hit in us with Beimang front, even if Zhao Shi knew perfectly well that Beimang has no time to care about the east line, will not make Gu Jiantang be involved, walked Xu Xiao with great difficulty, cannot raise Xu Xiao again second. The officials are far from what not to be possible to seal/confer bestows not to be possible to enjoy, the military commander must support the soldier dead weight mostly, unsurprisingly, should be Lu Baijie Lu Sheng looks like one to assume Ministry of War one under Jingnan, but Lu Baijie the new Ministry of War Shangshu, the possibility must be low, Lu Sheng looks like, so long as resulted in the military exploit, his year returns to Capital to be good with Lu Baijie to contend, being insufficient makes Ministry of War a Tang Creek Sword Immortal person of Ministry of War. If Lu Sheng looks like coordinates, several old codgers, definitely while can also start to wear a sword at the waist like Anguo big General Yang Shenxing reluctantly, must run to slice, but Lu Sheng looks like also well, Yang Shenxing this group of Spring and Autumn veterans, missed a big truncation with Cao Changqing, Lu Sheng looks like fortunately, resorting to arms is actually not bad, but will be doomed to receive impeding of aspects, earlier can in disadvantaged the dying war, it is estimated that only then the Guangling Prince Zhao Yi soldiers and horses, will want me to look, this weaponry will not be has hits, but will be perhaps Cao Changqing with irresistible force, projected on Tai'an City directly.” 徐凤年自言自语道:“离阳西楚这场仗肯定要打在咱们跟北莽的前头,赵室就算明知北莽无暇顾及东线,也不会让顾剑棠参与其中,好不容易走了个徐骁,不能再养出个徐骁第二。文臣谈不上什么封无可封赏无可赏,武将就多半要拥兵自重,不出意外,应该是卢白颉卢升象一位坐镇兵部一位出京南下,不过卢白颉才新任兵部尚书,可能性要较小,卢升象只要得了军功,他年返京才好跟卢白颉抗衡,不至于让兵部成为棠溪剑仙一人的兵部。如果是卢升象牵头的话,几个老不死的,像安国大将军杨慎杏肯定趁着还能勉勉强强上马跨刀,要跑去分一杯羹,但是卢升象也好,杨慎杏这帮春秋老将也罢,都跟曹长卿差了一大截,卢升象还好,用兵其实不差,只是注定会受到方方面面的掣肘,前期可以在劣势情况下去死战的,估计只有广陵王赵毅的兵马,要我看,这场仗不是有的打,而是说不定曹长卿一路势如破竹,直接打到了太安城。” Yang Guangdou knitting the brows head of: „After Western Chu occupies is superior, can go north? Let alone is Cao Changqing, even Beimang, so long as dares to place outside Tai'an City the decisive battle, the odds of success are not many.” 杨光斗皱了皱眉头:“西楚占优之后要北上？别说是曹长卿,就算北莽,只要敢把决战放在太安城外,胜算都不多。” Xu Fengnian said with a smile: „I spoke thoughtlessly.” 徐凤年笑道:“我就随口说说。” Yang Guangdou haha said with a smile: „Must really be so, to the Beiliang actually huge good deed, refers to uncertain Beimang conceiving a plan temporarily, will give up the west line decisively, will turn around to hit the east line, with Western Chu north-south converging attack Tai'an City, that really will be splendid. Reason that Gu Jiantang always does not feel loses to big General, only lost when the day, right now he has the opportunity to prove oneself. That east line so many year of important person some people who he builds ask for money richly, asks for anything to have anything with the royal government, must also the bad matter, Gu Jiantang this fellow take several noodles to hang oneself again on good.” 杨光斗哈哈笑道:“要真是如此,对北凉倒是天大的好事,指不定北莽就会临时起意,果断放弃西线,掉头去打东线,跟西楚一北一南夹击太安城,那就真的是精彩至极喽。顾剑棠不是总觉得之所以输给大将军,仅是输在了天时吗,这下子他就有机会证明自己了嘛。他打造的那条东线这么多年要人有人要钱有钱,伸手跟朝廷要什么就有什么,再要还不济事,顾剑棠这家伙就好去拿几根面条上吊去了。” Cao Wei interrupted to ask: „Is Cao Changqing so really fierce?” 曹嵬插嘴问道:“曹长卿真有这么厉害？” Yang Guangdou sighs with emotion gently: „Spring and Autumn is most prosperous with the Western Chu scholars, Western Chu most is also self-satisfied by Cao Longli, Cao Touxiu, outstanding Western Chu, this did not boast. But the world four were entered the magnificent feat of imperial palace hoodwinking by him, mostly thought that he is the martial arts unparalleled expert, must say the foundation of basic skills that deploys troops and forms lines, counted him to be strongest with Chen Zhibao probably. The Gu Jiantang strong suit lies in each war must first make excessive demands to occupy completely benefits, was known as that does not hit has hit , then must win, generally speaking, compared with this Cao and Chen, is not as good. However, when day that Mandate of Heaven undertakes to transport incident, is illusory, only happens by happy circumstance, when Gu Jiantang day is the Liyang situation, Cao Changqing is the length of Western Chu destiny, as for Chen Zhibao, it is estimated that.” 杨光斗轻轻感慨道:“春秋以西楚士子最为鼎盛,西楚又以曹龙鲤最得意,曹头秀,独秀西楚,这可不是胡吹的。只不过世人都被他四入皇宫的壮举给蒙蔽了,大多觉得他是个武功盖世的高手,要说排兵布阵的功底,大概就数他跟陈芝豹最强了。顾剑棠的强处在于每一战必先苛求占尽地利,号称不打则已打则必赢,总的说来,比起这曹陈两人,还是稍逊一筹。不过,奉天承运的天时一事,既虚无缥缈,也可遇不可求,顾剑棠的天时便是离阳大势,曹长卿则是西楚气数的长短,至于陈芝豹,估计还是在等。” Xu Fengnian said with a smile indifferently: „Chen Zhibao followed the Western Chu together destruction and other Cao Changqing, with hitting the vitality damages severely with Beiliang as well as Gu Jiantang and other Beimang, then should be one's turn his Little Butcher of Men to enter the political arena. Xu Xiao trampled flat Spring and Autumn, the Chen Zhibao ambition is obviously bigger, he must monopolize personally, the casting leaves one millennium unprecedented vast empire, as for him thinks that oneself makes Emperor, the lord knows.” 徐凤年淡然笑道:“陈芝豹是在等曹长卿跟随西楚一同覆灭,在等北莽跟北凉以及顾剑棠跟打得元气大伤,然后就该轮到他小人屠粉墨登场了。徐骁不过是踏平了春秋,陈芝豹的野心显然更大,他要亲手一统天下,铸造出一个千年未有的辽阔帝国,至于他想不想自己做皇帝,天晓得。” Yang Guangdou long exhales the one breath, „big General walks, this world started the chaos.” 杨光斗长呼出一口气,“大将军一走,这个天下就开始大乱了。” Cao Wei said: „I will not definitely slaughter with Chen Zhibao in any case face-to-face.” 曹嵬啧啧道:“反正我肯定是不会跟陈芝豹面对面厮杀的。” This dwarf pulls the finger to say slowly: „The place of refugee has Phoenix Character Battalion stationed in the deep green, the small Prince dragon army also infiltrate almost, in addition north cool quiet two state Fatty Chu likely with Yuan Baixiong, our Beiliang finally also had the oneself east line west line, in addition the strategic place mountain passes of domestic 14 new Colonel guards, belonged to the second defense line. I, again toward place of northwest some refugee, am the important third defense line, is actually far from anything to defend, only attacks in any case does not defend, when you hit suffer extreme distress, the father comes to give the final word, hey, surnamed Xu, reached an agreement beforehand, gives me 5000 light cavalry 10,000 superior warhorses, I can help you fish in troubled waters, one breath shovel Pingnan toward den, if dares to me 10,000 people of 20,000 horses, I to help you also eat the Northern Dynasty king tent/account.” 这个矮子扳着手指缓缓说道:“流民之地已经有凤字营驻扎青苍,小王爷的龙象军也渗透得差不多,加上凉幽两州北边的褚胖子跟袁白熊,咱们北凉总算也有自己的东线西线了,加上境内十四位新校尉把守的重镇关隘,属于第二道防线。我呢,再往流民之地更西北一些,算是至关重要的第三条防线,其实谈不上什么防守不防守,反正只攻不守,等你们打得死去活来,老子来个一锤定音,喂,姓徐的,事先说好了,给我五千轻骑一万匹上等战马,我可以帮你浑水摸鱼,一口气铲平南朝老巢,要是敢给我一万人两万马,我就帮你把北朝大王帐也吃下来。” Helpless Xu Fengnian said: „It is not cannot to you, but you when really Beimang is one group of one who has eyes yet fails to see, one group of worthless fellows?” 徐凤年无奈道:“不是不可以给你,不过你真当北莽都是一帮睁眼瞎,一群酒囊饭袋？” The Cao Wei supercilious look said: „About this big long-range raid that is doomed to go down in history, father tossed about to deduce for ten years, this whole life was counting on a weaponry became famous, do you think?” 曹嵬白眼道:“关于这场注定要名垂青史的大奔袭,老子翻来覆去推演了十来年,这辈子就指望着一仗成名,你以为？” Xu Fengnian is just about to speak, hears one familiar „hehe”. 徐凤年正要说话,听到一声再熟悉不过的“呵呵”。
