Harnesses the carriage to move to the bulk loading easely, the groom was Song Keli that look delicate book child, sat Yuan Benxi in car(riage) always hangs up the curtain screen, looks the herringbone formation of that flock of going south swan geese to the sky, was lost. The people who takes the lead, shoulder the gale. But a household also good, a clan country, some inevitably people bravely step forward. 一驾马车悠悠然驶向散仓,马夫是宋恪礼那个相貌秀气的书童,坐在车内的元本溪始终将帘子挂起,望向天空中那群南下鸿雁的人字形队列,怔怔出神。出头鸟,扛大风。可一门一户也好,一族一国也罢,都必然有人挺身而出。 After Song Keli left prestige Ze district, did not have the royal government gazette to glance through, but the Yuan mister will ask him to speak freely once in a while, unintentional „divulging secret”, Song Keli believed in firmly. A bulk loading war, after Son of Heaven ascends the throne now, south of Tai'an City on the domain at the largest defeat, among the Yonghui years expedite Nanzhao twice, although the idle work returns, but the worst ten several big or small campaigns, have the victory and defeat mutually, but the Xiangfu first year bulk loading rides the war, big General Yan Zhenchun died in battle, three ten thousand elite cavalry are annihilated, was doomed not to have the method to cover the fig leaf, the Liyang government and people were terrified, if said Yang Shenxing was stranded can also understand to have a low opinion of the enemy to be the result, then Yan Jia rode the army not to contain meeting the tough head-on with toughness of trickery with the Western Chu rebel army, finally still collapsed completely, has to let the royal government high-ranking court official famous Sir/minister. Measures the Western Chu strength. Song Keli who serves the country wholeheartedly was heavyhearted, opened the skylight saying that with him until the Yuan mister opened the frank and straightforward remark, made cloud Bo who this Song Family young phoenix true experience arrived at the temple treacherous. 宋恪礼离开威泽县后,就没有朝廷邸报可以翻阅,不过元先生每隔一段时间就会找他畅所欲言,有意无意“泄露天机”,宋恪礼自是深信不疑。散仓一战,是当今天子登基后,在太安城以南版图上吃到的第一场大败仗,永徽年间两次远征南诏,虽然无功而回,但最不济十数场大小战役,互有胜负,而祥符元年的散仓骑战,大将军阎震春战死,三万精骑全军覆没,是注定没法子盖上遮羞布了,离阳朝野悚然,若说杨慎杏的被困还可以理解为轻敌所致,那么阎家骑军跟西楚叛军不含诈术的硬碰硬,结果仍是一败涂地,不得不让朝廷重臣名卿重新权衡西楚的实力。一心报国的宋恪礼更是忧心忡忡,直到元先生跟他打开天窗说说了一席敞亮话,才让这位宋家雏凤真正见识到庙堂的云波诡谲。 „Do you see a matter? South the Yang Shenxing 40,000 setose thistles old soldier, as well as 5,000-6,000 cavalries of newly creation, guarded three ten thousand elite cavalry of national capital with Yan Zhenchun, is someone ‚the family/home army’?” “你有没有看到一件事情？杨慎杏的四万蓟南老卒,以及新创的5,000-6,000骑兵,和阎震春原本守卫京畿的三万精骑,都是某一个人‘家军’？” Song Keli exclaimed: „But was this price too big?” 宋恪礼惊叹道:“可这代价是不是太大了些？” Yuan Benxi smiles said indifferently: „That side royal government, mainly attended to hut Ministry of War, and daily life court attendant is at ‚study room’, these places do not think that Yang Shenxing Yan shakes spring two meritorious veterans will collapse completely, they should lose after Western Chu pillar Cao Changqing makes an appearance. However then, since national capital troops ‚seem like that’ caused heavy losses, then Guangling Prince Zhao Yi also does hold true by withdrawing motionless?” 元本溪笑淡然道:“朝廷那边,主要是顾庐兵部,以及起居郎所在的‘书房处’,这几个地方都不认为杨慎杏阎震春两位功勋老将会一败涂地,他们本该输在西楚主心骨曹长卿露面之后。不过如此一来,既然京畿兵力‘看似’受到重创,那么广陵王赵毅又有什么理由龟缩不动？” Song Keli sighed with emotion: „First damps the military, reducing feudatories is successful, this is the open intrigue.” 宋恪礼感慨道:“先抑武,削藩更是水到渠成,这是阳谋。” Yuan Benxi shows neither approval nor disapproval, hesitant, self-ridicules saying: „I also calculate that has read some books on military strategy, but does not dare saying that oneself knows thoroughly the soldier matter, therefore regarding the war layout, can always not meddle does not meddle. The people expensive/noble know, enhance strong points and avoid weaknesses, so long as every so often you do not make mistakes, the opportunity came. Yang Shenxing lost above the temple, otherwise at a kui clamour military, both sides power balance, if made Yang Shenxing fight steadily, but can also profit. But Yang Shenxing fought the war of most lifetime, after old, does not work as the governor oneself, but thinks that oneself is one ‚hall feudal official’, in the end loses beside the battlefield, is in the reason. Song Keli, you cannot do without learning a lesson.” 元本溪不置可否,犹豫了一下,自嘲道:“我还算读过些兵书,只不过一直不敢说自己熟谙兵事,故而对于战事布局,一向能够不插手就不插手。人贵自知,扬长避短,很多时候只要你不犯错,机会就来了。杨慎杏是输在了庙堂之上,否则以櫆嚣一线的兵力,双方均势,如果让杨慎杏稳扎稳打,还能占到便宜。可杨慎杏打了大半辈子的仗,年纪大了后,不把自己当封疆大吏,而以为自己就是一员‘堂臣’,到头来输在沙场之外,也是情理之中。宋恪礼,你不可不引以为鉴。” Song Keli made an effort to nod. 宋恪礼使劲点点头。 Yuan Benxi continues saying: „Yan shakes spring implicates for Yang Shenxing, has to the hasty going south bulk loading, be ridden the army to wait at ease for an exhausted enemy by Western Chu, has unexpected 3000 ride again bothers at crucial moments, had to do mental arithmetic to have no interest, Yan Zhenchun more is training troops has the law, the subordinate soldiers more do not hesitate to fight a decisive battle, more fall into the Western Chu snare. With Yan Zhenchun experience, definitely guesses obtained the Western Chu 20,000 light cavalries to leave leeway the ambusher behind, but has not thought that 20,000 rode makes them 30,000 ride to hit the spent force. A royal government mistake is step by step wrong, Western Chu one step first step by step first. Western Chu seems like no lack of successors to conduct, Ministry of War has files that record more than ten youngster, by four people of optimizations, in four people presented two, Pei Fa juniors Pei Sui at management kui clamour government affairs, this person young experienced, the family/home study is profound, but loses the spiritual energy. A bulk loading war, leads riding that 20,000 light cavalry and Yan Zhenchun dies to fight permits Yunxia, is sporty, actually seizes the attack time that does not permit to ride again absolutely. So, the matter of north line, should be Kou Jianghuai or the Xie Xichui in four people writing skill.” 元本溪继续说道:“阎震春为杨慎杏牵累,不得不仓促南下散仓,被西楚骑军以逸待劳,更有意料之外的三千重骑在关键时刻搅局,被人有心算无心,阎震春越是治军有法,麾下士卒越是不惜决战到底,就越落入西楚的圈套。以阎震春的经验,肯定猜得到西楚两万轻骑身后留有伏兵,只是没有想到两万骑就让他们三万骑打得强弩之末了。朝廷一步错步步错,西楚一步先步步先。西楚看来是后继有人啊,兵部有一份记载十几名年轻人的档案,其中又以四人最优,四人中出现了两个,裴阀子弟裴穗在主持櫆嚣政务,此人年少老成,家学渊博,但失之灵气。散仓一战,率领两万轻骑与阎震春死战的骑将许云霞,锐气十足,却绝对把握不准重骑的出击时机。如此看来,北线之事,应该是四人之中的寇江淮或者谢西陲的手笔。” Song Keli said slowly: „I have heard Kou Jianghuai, the ancestry is Great general Western Chu, he studies diligently the military tactics military strategy, long ago once was Higher Yin Academy startled certainly the colorful character, has not come of age then became on the millet the mister, the body had personally brave of breaching enemy lines, was rare being skilled with both the pen and sword. Who as for Xie Xichui is, late lives has not heard. The Yuan mister, the Western Chu north line plans, seriously isn't that Confucian Sage Cao Changqing established exercise strategy?” 宋恪礼缓缓说道:“我听说过寇江淮,祖辈皆是西楚大将,他本人钻研兵法韬略,早年曾经是上阴学宫惊才绝艳的人物,尚未及冠便当上了稷上先生,更身具亲身陷阵之勇,是难得的文武全才。至于谢西陲是何人,晚生不曾耳闻。元先生,西楚的北线谋划,当真不是那儒圣曹长卿的既定经略？” Yuan Benxi shakes the head saying: „Without these outstanding youngster, Cao Changqing how dare duplicate/restores country?” 元本溪摇头道:“没有这些出众的年轻人,曹长卿怎敢复国？” Yuan Benxi smiles suddenly, moreover is that type laughs the laughter incessantly. Song Keli gawked, was calm at his impression Zhongyuan mister everything, pansophy near monster, the city mansion was deep, time that the rare true feelings revealed. After Yuan Benxi laughs, raised the wine pot to drink a liquor, said: „My nest in Hanlin Academy, listened to famous litterateur loose discourse of a lifetime, although had the stodgy air/Qi, may be world reads a handful people of poetry book most full, many good points. Either with one group of backstage manipulators who must not exposed to the light have to do, these characters are the experience are better, has various remarkable scholarship respectively, or the narrow view thin place does not have the careless mistake, either the foresight is outstanding, one is ten steps. Result Capital, lives in these town inn, is listening to the line of gab of poor scholars and country countrymen, the knowledge has a unique flavor.” 元本溪突然笑起来,而且是那种大笑不止的笑声。宋恪礼愣了一下,在他印象中元先生事事处变不惊,大智近妖,却城府深沉,少有真情流露的时刻。元本溪开怀大笑之后,提起酒壶喝了口酒,说道:“我一辈子窝在翰林院,听多了名士风流的高谈阔论,虽然多有迂腐气,可到底是世间最饱读诗书的一小撮人,不乏可取之处。要么是跟一群见不得光的幕后人物打交道,这些人物更是见识不俗,各有各的卓越才学,或者小处细处无纰漏,或者远见超群,一步算十步。结果这趟出京,住在那些城镇客栈,听着贫寒士子和乡野村夫们的夸夸其谈,才知别有一番风味。” Song Keli did not know whether to laugh or cry, does not dare to make improper comments. This going south tour, truly to audit the funny opinions of many frog in a well, Song Keli often the left ear entered the right ear to leave, actually the Yuan mister time with great interest, drinking to eat the vegetable/dish to be even more joyful. For example had the marketplace careless person saying that the Western Chu Cao Changqing brain of that nickname what end game was too stupid, what kind of does not hide in Capital City assassinates now Son of Heaven, has assassinated in any case three times, how many were many time why not? Always feels better on Guangling Circuit comes idly strongly. Also the opinions of some people „practical”, said him, if Cao Changqing, leading the rivers and lakes expert to assume the north line, kills several thousand people each time, several days kill one time, kill the Tai'an City under foot, do not use the buckle Western Chu soldier. Without some original views, raised the objection actually not, such being the case, our royal government what kind of invited to advance into martial Ping on the non- large sum of money the expert, huddled together to kill Beimang altogether, what also wanted the Gu Jiantang big General side army to make, what wanted the Beiliang cavalry to make? In the world is clearly hiding our common people not clear customs. These people got to the bottom, could not say 123 reason whies. In marketplace work places, as Western Chu raises the standard of revolt, raised up that ginger character flag, has not had the excellent situation that a Liyang king master meritorious military service becomes, war rubber, extremely busy, appeared red in the face to state views boiled noisily noisily. 宋恪礼哭笑不得,不敢妄加评论。这趟南下之行,确实旁听了许多井底之蛙的滑稽言论,宋恪礼往往左耳进右耳出,倒是元先生次次津津有味,喝酒吃菜愈发愉悦。例如有市井粗人说那绰号啥官子的西楚曹长卿脑子太笨,怎的就不躲在京城里刺杀当今天子,反正都已经刺杀了三次,多几次又何妨？总好过在广陵道上无所事事来得强。还有人的意见更为“务实”,说他要是曹长卿,带着江湖高手坐镇北线,每次杀个几千人,几天杀一次,一路杀到太安城脚下,都不用折损西楚一兵一卒。倒不是没有些独到见解的,提出异议,既然如此,咱们朝廷怎的就不重金聘请跻身武评的高手,一股脑扎堆杀去北莽,还要顾剑棠大将军的边军做什么,要北凉铁骑做什么？分明是天地之间藏着咱们老百姓不明白的规矩。只是这些人被人刨根问底,又说不出个一二三所以然来。市井坊间,随着西楚揭竿而起,竖起了那姜字大旗,却并未出现离阳王师一战功成的大好局面,战事胶着,热闹非凡,出现了许多面红耳赤各抒己见的喧沸吵闹。 Yuan Benxi smiles to ask in a soft voice: „Thought these are far away from the common people of center vulgarly, the experience short shallow?” 元本溪轻声笑问道:“是不是觉得那些远离中枢的百姓,见识粗鄙短浅？” Song Keli has not hidden the thoughts intentionally, the nod said: „Late lives is really so thinks.” 宋恪礼没有故意隐藏心思,点头道:“晚生确是这般认为。” Yuan Benxi shakes the head saying: „I have to think must reorganize the rivers and lakes influence, but previous emperor assigned/life the Xu Xiao horse to tread the rivers and lakes in the past, made not a good start, although later the royal government in gold/metal blade the guard before governing gave the rivers and lakes thick patch of grass to keep many officer positions, the Ministry of Justice and Zhao Gou two also had the distribution charm amulet much, sent out the quite number the garcinia morella to embroider the carp bag, was compared with the breadth of spirit of Empress Beimang, appeared pales by comparison. Although lets the supercilious top military person, does not hesitate the life and death to assassinate somebody jointly, is the wishful thinking, but reduced the armed soldier dead in a war, was not difficult. Two matters, making me cancel the thought thoroughly ; first, that arrangement in Emperor your majesty heart was legitimate, mentality that in addition the obstuction of officials Han Shengxuan, as well as in Liu Gaoshi that Tai'an City only I revered alone. The second matter is the Xu Xiao capturing world rare book goes into storage, as well as subscribes downloads the first rivers and lakes the custom, henceforth established the melody of temple rivers and lakes well water not interfering with river water, is unable to accomplish the Beimang brook to integrate the meteorology of great river.” 元本溪摇头道:“我不是没有想过要整顿江湖势力,只不过当年先帝命徐骁马踏江湖,开了一个不好的头,之后朝廷虽然在御前金刀侍卫中给江湖草莽留了不少官位,刑部和赵勾两处也多有分发护身符,送出相当数目的铜黄绣鲤袋,可是比起北莽女帝的气魄,还是显得相形见绌。虽说让心高气傲的顶尖武夫,不惜生死去联手刺杀某人,是痴心妄想,但在一场战事中减少甲士死亡,并不难。只是两件事,让我彻底打消了念头,一是皇帝陛下心中的那份文脉正统,加上宦官韩生宣的阻扰,以及柳蒿师那份太安城内惟我独尊的心态。第二件事是徐骁的收缴天下秘籍入库,以及订下传首江湖的规矩,从此奠定了庙堂江湖井水不犯河水的调子,无法造就北莽溪流融入大江的气象。” Yuan Benxi sighed, shook the wine pot, looked to young Song Keli, the sinking sound said: „Smart person achieves the great accomplishment, method not necessarily complex, even is very often simple, but only cannot make a mistake, that is the distant place and under foot that in the eye see path, must is right. Real difficult, is the easier said than done difficult characters. Your ancestry person of father's generation two master dominate the literary arena hand in hand, suppresses others, not necessarily does not know that this act obstructs the indanthrene atmosphere, why? Could not put down an honor or disgrace. Now Son of Heaven does not accept the Li Dangxin new style, not necessarily does not pity the world common people, why? Cannot put down surname rise and fall. The looseness of Cao Changqing, is my Yuan Benxi also subdues, this big end game enters the imperial palace again and again, so long as the homicide heart is not heavy, I with that old friend, not only not anti-, turns a blind eye twice, why? Cao Changqing cannot put down one person, I and that old friend do not hate our generation Confucian scholars to be loose, was been early loose by the wind and rain.” 元本溪叹了口气,晃了晃酒壶,望向年纪轻轻的宋恪礼,沉声说道:“聪明人做大事,手段未必有多复杂,甚至往往很简单,但只有一点不能出错,那就是眼中所看到的远处和脚下所走的道路,都得是对的。真正难的,是知易行难的这个难字。你祖辈父辈两位夫子联袂称雄文坛,打压他人,未必不知此举有碍士林风气,为何？仍是放不下一家荣辱罢了。当今天子不采纳李当心的新历,未必是不怜天下百姓,为何？放不下一姓兴衰而已。曹长卿之风流,便是我元本溪也折服,这位大官子三番两次进入皇宫,只要他杀心不重,我和那位故人非但不阻,其中两次都睁一只眼闭一只眼,为何？曹长卿放不下一人而已,我与那故人舍不得我辈儒生风流,被早早风吹雨打散而已。” Yuan Benxi sighs with emotion heartfeltly: „Person held, is crazy, then. And good or bad, can say that can it be that in a few words completely means.” 元本溪由衷感慨道:“人有所执,则痴,则真。其中好坏,岂是三言两语能够道尽意味的。” Song Keli was just about to continue to consult, Yuan Benxi does not have the idea of speech, but thought aloud: „Rivers and lakes how, generally already by person final judgment on a person's life can be made only after he is dead and buried. How in the temple, in this toward to have one to mediate, later my Yuan Benxi and Li Yishan Naslin right kind this adviser, becomes the traditional music of which has been lost. As for the emperor master, became the expectation.” 宋恪礼正要继续请教,元本溪却已经没有了说话的想法,只是自言自语道:“江湖如何,大抵已经被人盖棺定论。庙堂上如何,在本朝也会有一个了断,以后我元本溪与李义山纳兰右慈这种谋士,也成绝响。至于帝师,就更成奢望了。” Afterward going south, serene, big General Yan Zhenchun and his 30,000 Yan Jia ride the army to become the past events, the royal government was still deploying troops, in a short time not war, moreover these mounted bandits also disappear overnight do not see, the carriage not walks startled does not have the danger, even opened access to arrive at bulk loading that battlefield. 随后的一路南下,云淡风轻,大将军阎震春和他的三万阎家骑军已成往事,朝廷仍在调兵遣将,短时间内并无战事,而且那些马贼也都一夜之间消失不见,马车走得无惊无险,甚至畅通无阻来到了散仓那处战场。 Yuan Benxi goes out of the carriage, has not moved toward both sides to invest the sandy plains of 50,000 cavalries immediately, but goes to the place that Western Chu heavy cavalry troops stay. Liyang only has Beiliang and Jizhou and two is distant Malaysia, the Western Chu warhorse innate is inferior to these three places . Moreover the rushing to battlefield of heavy cavalry, possibly is not that powerful in average man imagination speeds away, but is needs massive carrying a heavy load mules and many auxiliary soldiers, heavy cavalry before putting in battlefield, rode dead does not wear armor does not start, only chose hiding in distance battlefield not near place, waited for the time peacefully. Once makes the request harsh heavy cavalry complete to gather the potential charge, that type gathers in the together huge dashing strength, unequalled! It can be said that rides the army again like each woman that rides the army commanders to try to have a concubine, is the enemy commands fearfulness that most does not want to bump into „love rival”. 元本溪走出马车,没有马上走向双方投入了五万骑兵的沙场,而是来到那个西楚重骑兵人马停留的地方。离阳唯有北凉、蓟州和两辽出大马,西楚战马先天不如这三地,而且重骑兵的赶赴战场,也不可能是常人想象中的那种气势如虹一路疾驰,而是需要大量的负重骡马和众多辅兵,重骑兵在投入战场之前,骑卒不披甲不上马,只选择隐蔽于距离战场不远不近的场所,安静等待时机。一旦让要求苛刻的重骑兵完成蓄势冲锋,那种汇聚在一起的巨大冲撞力,无与伦比！可以说,重骑军就像每一位骑军统帅都试图金屋藏娇的女子,更是敌军统领最不希望碰上的可怕“情敌”。 Yuan Benxi rides the army to participate in the route of march of war according to this again, the walk, has arrived at the final battlefield slowly, the Yuan Benxi squatting lower part of the body, closes the eye. 元本溪按照这支重骑军参与战事的行军路线,缓缓步行,一直走到最终战场,元本溪蹲下身,闭上眼睛。 As if can see that rides in the army war, inspiring solemn and stirring pictures. 似乎可以看到那场骑军大战中,一幅幅可歌可泣的悲壮画面。 The light cavalry fights to finally, Western Chu rides to kill again. 轻骑战至最后,西楚重骑杀出。 Had changed Yan shakes of several warhorses spring the whole body blood, is unafraid of death, brings to escort to remain not many pro- health/guard cavalries, takes the lead to welcome to rides again. 已是换了数匹战马的阎震春满身鲜血,视死如归,带着一直护驾所剩不多的亲卫骑兵,率先迎向重骑。 Some horse continue to ride the war, makes the last time charge to clash. 有马者继续骑战,做出最后一次冲锋对撞。 Does not have the warhorse to be possible for riding Yan Jia rode the dying route step war to tie, welcomed together to that irresistible iron armor mighty current. 已经没有战马可供骑乘的阎家骑卒便步战结阵,一同迎向那支势不可挡的铁甲洪流。 After the general situation has decided that similarly tired Western Chu light cavalry has continued to clench teeth to chase down. 在大局已定后,已经同样倦怠至极的西楚轻骑继续咬牙追杀。 Yan Zhenchun first died in battle, even has not left behind the entire corpse. 阎震春首先战死,甚至没有留下全尸。 The high-ranking military officers completely die later. 将官随后尽死。 Yan Jia who is incapable of fighting again rides dead, looks wooden the spear/gun lances on these enemy horsebacks puncture, or looks these Western Chu „foot soldiers” the broadsword cuts. 许多无力再战的阎家骑卒,木然看着那些敌人马背上的枪矛刺来,或者是怔怔看着那些西楚“步卒”的大刀砍下。 Was fallen on by the flag of blood percolation the battlefield numerously. 众多被鲜血浸透的旗帜倒在战场上。 Before having rides the sudden death, puts out a hand to grip a flag corner/horn strongly. 有骑卒死前竭力伸手握住了旗帜一角。 After war, Western Chu that has not entered the young command of battlefield personally, orders to give methodically auxiliary will handle the things to do after death, youngster one has not fought the joy that the becoming famous world knows. Sits on the ground alone, observes the situation all around, lowers the head silently, lifts the arm, cleans the tears. 大战过后,西楚那名没有亲自进入战场的年轻统帅,有条不紊下令给辅将处置后事,年轻人并没有一战成名天下知的喜悦。只是独自坐在地上,环视四周,默默低下头,抬起手臂,擦拭泪水。 For the Western Chu soldier, rides the army for Yan Jia of these hostile camps. 既是为西楚儿郎,也为那些敌对阵营的阎家骑军。
