Blesses the commanding general tent of reveal outside the passes, the atmosphere is dignified and strange, has Lu personal soldier post to ride to transmit an urgent military situation, after Ministry of War vice minister Lu Sheng looks like sits is on record, maintains composure, the finger strokes on the military tally together gently. In the tent/account military officer Colonel is placed by infantry and cavalry both sides, these military commanders mostly are vice minister Lu take away the secondary roles of Capital City from Guangling Circuit, loyal and ability is without a doubt, there is a steady old person who the Spring and Autumn flames of war gradually influence, there are just when the talent military officer who the maturity goes all out, the mixture has several young Commandant that makes an exception to promote, the age disposition is very reasonable. Hurried, when the trusted aide of groom likes the urgent matter crashing in the big tent/account, protects tent/account personal soldier not to stop, Lu Sheng looks like including the eye to hide has not selected, but looks down that with great difficulty the obsolete map that reassigns from the household section, mentions laughably, attended to the hut maintaining many years of Ministry of War, unexpectedly could not find one to make Lu rise likely south the satisfied national capital the map, two distant sidelines can discover several hundred actually with ease. 佑露关外的主将营帐,气氛凝重而古怪,有卢氏亲兵驿骑传来一份紧急军情,兵部侍郎卢升象坐在案后,不动声色,手指在一块兵符上轻轻抚摸。帐内将领校尉以步骑双方分列,这些武将大多是卢侍郎从广陵道带去京城的班底,忠心和能力都毋庸置疑,既有春秋战火熏陶出来的稳重老人,也有正值壮年锐意进取的才华武官,夹杂有几名破格提拔起来的年轻都尉,年龄配置十分合理。一个被赶去当马夫的心腹爱将火烧屁股冲进大帐,护帐亲兵都没有阻拦,卢升象连眼皮子没有挑一下,只是低头看着那张好不容易从户部抽调出来的老旧地图,说来可笑,顾庐保持多年的兵部,竟然找不到一份让卢升象满意的京畿南部舆图,两辽边线倒是可以轻松找出几百张来。 horse Saowei Guo Dongfeng stared several mean contemporaries, interrogated carelessly: „General, Yang Shenxing was takes the medicine to be mistakenly inadequate, what kind of took the lead to advance to south decisively hastily, he had confidence that the one breath did pass through the Yufang pass/test, the Qinshui ferry crossing, to take north Guangling Circuit subsequently the strategic place kui clamour second to none? His such does one clash, sets at our both armies where? General, you said to look, we look helplessly he leads one group of playboys to bring death, accompanies them to play with fire together? His mother, 40,000 soldiers and horses, that was the setose thistle southern army final family/home background, one Qinshui ferry crossing, before arriving at kui clamour town/subdues, there since old times was the azure rice shoot basins of places of four war, now we all are two discredit to Guangling Circuit that side soldiers and horses reassignment, this old man what to come confidence island of resistance was thorough! This Western Chu bad matter, can always squeeze out again ** can thousand fight the cavalry? If by some chance the kui clamour guards is the pretended surrender, solemn Anguo big General, the plans of shoddy tempting enemy hits dirtily to this and other, when the time comes takes the rap also isn't General you?!” 一身马骚味的郭东风瞪了几眼幸灾乐祸的同龄人,大大咧咧质问道:“将军,那杨慎杏是吃错了药不成,怎的就自作主张地率先向南仓促推进,他就那么有把握一口气闯过玉芳关、过沁水津渡、继而拿下广陵道北地首屈一指的重镇櫆嚣？他这么一冲,置我们两军于何地？将军,你说说看,咱们是眼睁睁看着他带着一帮纨绔子弟去送死,还是陪着他们一起玩火？他娘的,四万兵马,那可是蓟南军最后的家底子了啊,一过沁水津渡,在到达櫆嚣镇之前,那里自古便是四战之地的青秧盆地,如今咱们对广陵道那边的兵马调动全是两眼抹黑,这老头儿何来的信心孤军深入！这西楚再不济事,总能挤出**千可战骑兵吧？万一櫆嚣镇守将是诈降,堂堂安国大将军,给这等拙劣的诱敌之策打得灰头土脸,到时候背黑锅的还不是将军你？！” Lu rises not to lift likely, tranquil say/way: „First, can confirm, kui clamour garrison commander Penglai is not the pretended surrender. Next, 40,000 setose thistle southern elite old soldier, the supplies are perfect, the Anguo big General marching set up formation excels in fortifies at every step, even if to ** thousand ride the army, without rides the surprise attack again, is not necessarily able to lose. Finally, Western Chu remnants whether about ten thousand to ride the army in a kui clamour azure rice shoot investment, no one can affirm. Because of the geography limit, the Western Chu always step fights in Xi, rides to fight in Dong. Naturally, bumps into the lunatic, no one said.” 卢升象头也不抬,平静道:“首先,可以确认,櫆嚣守将韩蓬莱不是诈降。其次,四万蓟南精锐老卒,补给完善,安国大将军行军布阵长于步步为营,就算对上**千骑军,只要没有重骑突袭,未必会输。最后,西楚余孽能否在櫆嚣青秧一线投入近万骑军,谁都不敢肯定。因为地理限制,西楚一向步战于西,骑战于东。当然,碰上疯子,就谁都不好说了。” Guo Dongfeng is hard the neck saying: „But the established plan of Ministry of War, first lets Huainan Prince Zhao Ying of stationing troops sliding table with Ping'an Prince Zhao Xun stationed in wormwood sea turtle lake, opens up an offensive. Their success or failure or not, then should also be Guangling Prince Zhao Yi mounts the stage, where wheel obtains his Yang Shenxing?!” 郭东风硬着脖子说道:“可兵部的既定方略,是先让屯兵滑台的淮南王赵英与驻扎蒿鳌湖的靖安王赵珣,同时展开攻势。不论他们成败与否,接下来也该是广陵王赵毅登台,哪里轮得到他杨慎杏？！” Lu rises the shape to angrily rebuke saying: „Is the Regional Prince given name also you can say? Rolls to feed your horse!” 卢升象怒斥道:“藩王名讳也是你可以直呼的？滚回去喂你的马！” Guo Dongfeng shrank the neck, the little darling withdrew from the tent, quick raises the tent/account curtain to find out the head, asked curiously: „General, may I ask that commander in chief Cao Changqing and Zhou Songpei Hongzhi and other old people, where now places respectively?” 郭东风缩了缩脖子,乖乖退出营帐,很快就又掀起帐帘探出脑袋,好奇问道:“将军,敢问那主帅曹长卿与周松裴弘治等老人,如今分别身处何地？” Lu rises the shape to continue to stare at the map, the mature military officer who stems from the Guangling spring snow building actually said with a smile in a soft voice: „Cao Changqing is staring at the Guangling army personally, Zhou Song and Pei Hongzhi not close to the north line, a person defends Huai one person to defend the river.” 卢升象继续盯着地图,倒是一个出自广陵春雪楼的壮年将领轻声笑道:“曹长卿亲自盯着广陵军,周松和裴弘治都没有临近北线,一人守淮一人守江。” Guo Dongfeng, turned around to depart, thought aloud: „It seems like Western Chu eventually is not clear/pain, did not fight the boldness outside border with the enemy again.” 郭东风哦了一声,转身离去,自言自语道:“看来是西楚终究不是大楚了,再没有与敌战于国境之外的魄力。” When Guo Dongfeng this fellow walks away, Lu Sheng looks like looks up to the article garment old man who slightly like a crane among chickens obviously, asked: „Horses flowing of Guangling Circuit north line, can the Zhao Gou that side have to catch the traces?” 等郭东风这家伙走远,卢升象抬头望向一名略显鹤立鸡群的文衫老者,问道:“广陵道北线的马匹流动,赵勾那边可有抓到蛛丝马迹？” Helpless the old person said: „Difficult. This has not made war, royal government's here spy child died forty, more than 20 people who in addition previously defected, General, this is not the good sign.” 老人无奈道:“难啊。这还没开战,朝廷这边的谍子就死了四十几个,加上先前反水的二十多人,将军,这可不是什么好兆头啊。” Lu rose likely un one, beckoned with the hand to hint everyone to draw back, Ministry of War vice minister who this led big General shot a look at eye that army report, above roughly elaborated actually reason that dispatched troops to go south, the expression was gorgeous, the issue document was tasteful, the literary talent headed on strikingly, naturally cannot be the thing that Yang Shenxing this big uneducated person can write, Lu Sheng looked like with the buttocks wants to know that was stems from some position to be familiar with the book on military strategy the nobility juniors writing skill, „national capital south, although was ‚in the world state’, ‚the stone of hegemony’, actually solid may not, must defend in the overseas, the Southern Tang perishing country. Because of being able do without observing.” 卢升象嗯了一声,摆摆手示意所有人都退下,这位领衔大将军的兵部侍郎瞥了眼那份军报,上头倒是大致阐述了些出兵南下的理由,措辞华美,行文讲究,文采斐然扑面而来,自然不会是杨慎杏这个大老粗能写出来的东西,卢升象用屁股想都知道是出自某位熟读兵书的王公子弟手笔,“京畿之南虽是‘天下中州’,‘霸业之石’,却固不可受,必须守于境外,南唐亡国之因不可不察。” Lu rises to say likely in a soft voice: „Was an armchair strategist, damn.” 卢升象轻声道:“纸上谈兵,干你娘的。” - -- Xiangfu first year autumn, Chushu. The summer heat completely, the day transfers coolly. 祥符元年秋,处暑。暑气尽,天转凉。 Meaning of some bright and crisp fall days, this let about thousand die to feel relieved finally newly, the listless look that in these summers the season enlists hurriedly sweeps away, immediately dragon Jinghu fierce several points. Especially when army Namtu Qinshui saliva, these mostly ride youngster of high steed to ignore the fording formation, throws over in abundance puts on the bright mail-armor and helmet, progresses to run quickly north bank of the river, competition equestrian skill. Actually just enlisted in these people shortly, many people gave birth returned the thought that Capital City enjoyed happiness, because the military compound too stink smoked the day, was the pigsty was inferior simply, did not take a bath easily, previously midsummer, making these sons of wealthy families ask for advice fierce of whole body flea. This in two armies pitted against each other with their mind cuts the happy original intention that the flag kills the enemy to be very different, if not in the family/home the elder tried every means to persuade, simultaneously sent to a lot of forbidden objects through the relations unceasingly, the posterity who let these Duke period of five days military and political leaders were smelly the face to hold one's nose , to continue to keep in the veteran Yang Shenxing army to endure hardships. This growth in thousand of Son of Heaven under foot „partner in exchange of improper favors”, almost everyone carries own health/guard retinue from, this made under Anguo big General have 3000 baseless „elite cavalry”, when the army went south, son of the influential aristocratic family of more than ten big shots went to plead with Yang Shenxing, must be the vanguard. Old General said big pile of excuses, and vowed solemnly that said this 3000 ride is his trump card, the good blade to use on the blade. 总算有些秋高气爽的意味了,这让那些夏中时节匆忙入伍的近千新卒如释重负,病恹恹的神色一扫而空,顿时龙精虎猛了几分。尤其是当大军南渡沁水津之时,这些大多骑乘高头骏马的年轻人都顾不得渡河阵型,纷纷披戴上鲜亮甲胄,在河北岸策马奔驰,比拼骑术。其实在这些人刚刚入伍没多久,很多人就生出了退回京城享福的念头,因为军营实在是太臭味熏天了,简直就是猪圈都不如,洗澡不易,先前盛夏时分,让这些膏粱子弟亲身领教了满身跳蚤的厉害。这与他们心目中两军对垒斩旗杀敌的美好初衷相去甚远,若非家中长辈好说歹说,同时不断通过关系送去大量违禁物品,才让这些公候将相的子孙后代们臭着脸捏着鼻子,继续留在了老将杨慎杏军中遭罪。这生长在天子脚下的千余“关系户”,几乎人人携带亲卫扈从,这就让安国大将军麾下凭空多出了三千“精骑”,当大军南下之时,十几位头面人物的公子哥世家子就去跟杨慎杏请命,要做先锋。老将军笑着说了一大堆借口,并且信誓旦旦说这三千骑是他的杀手锏,好刀要用在刀刃上。 Yang Shen apricot that tall and powerfully built does not see the senile single-handed stands according to the blade in the south bank, the side follows a father army horse 20 years of first wife's eldest son Yang Huchen face to be bitter and astringent, looks at youngster that these whip on a horse, said in a soft voice: „Father, does not know that was which young man said , the army forded guarded against the enemy to raid, therefore they must help the roaming cavalry escort. This group of children, do not know that scouts to search the report incident? Then, except for disrupting the formation delays crosses the river, may not have the least bit use. Actually when that area inside the Great Wall Hou second son, asked whether I when both armies fought, would-be he only selects the enemy great general, this calculated anything , does not know that the historical novel novel of which incomprehensible nonsense read. Furthermore, the loyal pavilion eldest son, raised the objection, said that we marched every day 50 li (0.5 km), was extremely slow, the analogy of but also with the turtle crawling, said in the Spring and Autumn war, these light cavalry one day one night 300 li (0.5 km) were the common matters. Oh, really has no way to be reasonable with them. The father, their 3000 rides, looks at the imposing manner to be majestic, actually if it is unable to accomplish anything it will at least be able to spoil everything.” 身材魁梧不见老态的杨慎杏单手按刀站在南岸,身边跟随父亲戎马二十余载的嫡长子杨虎臣一脸苦涩,看着那些策马扬鞭的年轻人,轻声道:“爹,也不知道是哪个后生说的,大军渡河之时谨防敌袭,因此他们要帮忙游骑护驾。这帮孩子,就不知道斥候探报一事吗？如此一来,除了扰乱阵型耽误渡河,可没有半点用处啊。竟然还有那个关内侯的次子,问我能否在两军大战之时,准他单挑敌方大将,这算个什么事啊,也不知道是看了哪本狗屁不通的演义小说。再有,贞亭伯的长子,提出异议,说我们每日行军五十里,太过滞缓,还用上乌龟爬的比方,说春秋战事中,那些轻骑一日一夜三百里都是常有的事。唉,实在没法跟他们讲道理。爹,他们这三千骑,看着气势雄壮,其实成事不足败事有余啊。” The silver-haired Yang Shen apricot extremely rich power and influence, the lesson said: „I know fairly well! The tiger feudal official, you later cannot reveal the least bit to be discontented.” 白发苍苍的杨慎杏极富威势,教训道:“我心中有数！虎臣,你以后切不可流露出半点不满。” Yang Huchen smiles bitterly does not say a word. 杨虎臣苦笑不言语。 Yang Shenxing collected the mechanical facial features, said sincerely: „East line has the Gu Jiantang management military administration, the west line has Beiliang that surnamed Xu youngster to conduct the shoulder, these two are not good to do, the way of the world is peaceful, isn't military exploit really how easy? The Western Chu remnants rebellion, gives birth to a southern line across the sky, such opportunity, is the father puts together the face that the most lifetime is saving not to want, takes hardly. North bank these youngster discussed the friendship rank, the children of majority must shout you an uncle uncle, but these sons, do not listen to their mouths to shout that the person the warm feelings were attentive, was the personality is coolest, is difficult to serve. You cannot do bad things with good intentions, causing us to give them the military exploit, but also made them not appreciate kindness rendered, did not read our good of Yang.” 杨慎杏敛了敛刻板面容,语重心长说道:“东线有顾剑棠主持军政,西线有北凉那姓徐的年轻人扛着,这两人都不好打交道,世道太平,实打实的军功何其不易？西楚余孽造反,横空生出一条南线,这样的机会,是爹拼着大半辈子积攒下来的老脸不要,硬抢到手的。北岸那些年轻人论交情辈分,大半数的孩子都要喊你一声叔叔伯伯,可这些崽儿,别听他们嘴上喊人热络殷勤,最是性情凉薄,难伺候啊。你切不可好心办坏事,导致咱们送给了他们军功,还让他们不领情,不念咱们杨家的好。” Yang Huchen nods sadly. 杨虎臣沉闷点了点头。 Yang Shenxing patted this son shoulder that places the great expectations, said with a smile: „Did not say other, if not the operations of these youngster people of father's generation arranges, we may be unable to make these 5000 good horses, setose thistle southern old soldier only to be always famous for the step war, but this chapter of my grandson has ridden the addiction head fully. Moreover this grandson, was smoother than you, is not ripe the Capital City juniors who wound to start to be on intimate terms with many, this was the huge good deed.” 杨慎杏拍了拍这个寄予厚望的儿子肩膀,笑道:“不说其它,如果不是这些年轻人父辈的运作打点,咱们可弄不来那些五千匹好马,蓟南老卒向来只以步战著称,这回我那孙儿可是过足了骑将的瘾头。而且这个孙子,比你圆滑多了,已经跟许多原本并不熟络的京城子弟都开始称兄道弟,这是天大的好事。” Some of Yang Huchen finally smiling faces. 杨虎臣终于有些笑脸。 Yang Shenxing sighs with emotion in a soft voice: „Tiger long time in the cage, must receive the claw unavoidably, is no one can leave the basket. You take a look at paternal aunt curtain Xu dragon happy General permits Gong, missed this once in a thousand years time. Now although you are lower than a grades and salary him, but later was difficult to say.” 杨慎杏轻声感慨道:“虎久在笼中,难免要收起爪子的,也不是谁都可以离开笼子。你瞧瞧姑幕许氏的龙骧将军许拱,就错过了这趟千载难逢的时机。现在你虽说还比他低一个品秩,但以后就难说了。” Yang Huchen nods. 杨虎臣点了点头。 Yang Shenxing took off to wear a sword, turns around to refer to the south, „father could take a liking to the Western Chu antiques of eye, like Pei valve Pei Hongzhi, Zhou Song and vermilion Yinliang, according to the confidential report was also diverted is detained south central Guangling Circuit, Cao Changqing must confront with Zhao Yi, so long as we projected on the kui clamour army town/subdues in one vigorous effort, took the first-class honor, even was sure of success, later was to enter draws back, the royal government can have big room for manoeuvre. As for the censure of Ministry of War, can compete with the north bank these Duke marquis soldiers behind the saliva of numerous temple big shot? Rose as for Lu likely even, a Ministry of War vice minister of spring snow building family background, less than raised. The only small variable is that side the azure rice shoot basin, whether some people will eat the bear heart leopard guts, comes to obstruct.” 杨慎杏摘下佩刀,转身指了指南方,“爹瞧得上眼的西楚老古董们,像裴阀的裴弘治,还有周松和朱寅良,据密报都还被牵制滞留在广陵道中南部,曹长卿更是要与赵毅对峙,咱们只要一鼓作气打到櫆嚣军镇,抢到手头功,就算稳操胜券,之后是进是退,朝廷都能有很大的回旋余地。至于兵部的非议,敌得过北岸那些公侯子弟兵身后众多庙堂大佬的唾沫？至于卢升象就算了,一个春雪楼出身的兵部侍郎,不足一提。唯一的小变数就是青秧盆地那边,是否会有人吃了熊心豹子胆,前来阻截。” Yang Huchen smiles, „came to be good, that child is feeling suffocated, after our Yang, did not depend on me, must depend on his scholar-general.” 杨虎臣笑了笑,“来了才好,文奇那孩子正憋着口气,咱们杨家以后不靠我,得靠他这位儒将。” After Yang Shenxing nods, suddenly jokes: „Cao Changqing is scholar-general, what a pity assigns/life not well.” 杨慎杏点头后,突然讥笑道:“曹长卿就是儒将,可惜命不好。” - -- Guangling north line strategic place, kui clamour. 广陵北线重镇,櫆嚣。 First anti- Liyang anti- Western Chu garrison commander Penglai dies a violent death again, after the head was cut, puts above that priceless red sandalwood writing desk. 先反离阳再反西楚的守将韩蓬莱暴毙,脑袋被割下后,搁在那张价值连城的紫檀书案之上。 Dies with him together, except for trusted aide direct descendant, Zhao Gou six senior spy children and school more than 300. 跟他一起死的,除了心腹嫡系,还有赵勾六名资深谍子和一个江湖门派三百余口。 Just became this General mansion new host, is an outstanding son of the influential, was known as the loose elegant name on Guangling Circuit, past of Pei eldest son of legal wife grandsons Spring and Autumn ten Dahao valves, Pei Sui. 刚刚成为这座将军府新主人的,是一名俊逸公子哥,在广陵道上素有风流雅名,昔日春秋十大豪阀之一的裴氏嫡长孙,裴穗。 Pei Sui makes one take away that unrequited head, starts to take over the army town/subdues business methodically, absolutely did not have recently dove to occupy unfamiliar after magpie nest, was adept regarding this place military affairs. 裴穗让人拿走那颗死不瞑目的头颅,有条不紊地开始接手军镇事务,完全没有新近鸠占鹊巢后的生疏,对于此地军务娴熟至极。 Pei Sui gets hold of the pen, the sinking sound said: „Looked at Xie Xichui you. Our weaponry, but the entire world people are staring, south 40,000 setose thistles old soldier, must eat!” 裴穗握紧笔杆子,沉声道:“就看谢西陲你的了。咱们这一仗,可是整个天下人都在盯着,四万蓟南老卒,务必要都吃掉！”
