When it was the winter moon, it was already very cold in Longshang, the grass and trees between heaven and earth withered, the birds and beasts chirped, and even the many miscellaneous Hu Qiangliang on weekdays gradually disappeared, which also made this vast world a faction.

On the frozen river, two groups of people came from east and west, converging in a single bend.

"The ice and snow are blocked, and there is still Lao Jizi who has to work hard to pass on the news, which is really ashamed."

The pedestrians from the direction of Jincheng in the west are another road of people in Liangzhou, the first middle-aged man is in his forties, wearing armor and covering fur, it is Song Ji, the backbone general under Zhang Jun of Liangzhou, who is a few feet away from each other, and Song Ji will clasp his fists and salute.

As for the visitor from the east, it was Li Yi, who had gone to Sanyangchuan earlier, who had been entrusted by Song Ji to go east to spy on the situation, and when the situation in the Tianshui realm was slightly stable, he returned to report the news.

Walking close to each other, Song Ji fell off the horse first, and then signaled the attaché to step forward and help Li Yi off the horse.

After Li Yi got off the horse, he also hugged his fists and saluted: "Brother Dao entrusted me with something, how dare I slack off." What's more, this return is not all based on personal entrustment. I haven't yet told Brother Dao, Yu has bowed down to the account of Shen Hou of Xingtai, temporarily for the protection of the other troops of Fenwu, this time I returned, but also on the order of Shen Hou, recruiting villagers and righteous people to the east to be ordered, in order to strengthen the king's affairs. ”

Or because of the cold, Song Ji's face was a little stiff, so when he heard Li Yi say this, his face changed very obviously, first stunned, then surprised, and then revealed an extremely complicated, angry, worried and disappointed expression mixed together.

After a long time, Song Ji barely squeezed out a few stiff smiles on his face: "Why is Ji Zi ...... Alas, I don't know whether to congratulate you, or sigh that I don't have the privilege of working with the beloved of Longshang again. ”

After Li Yi heard this, he said with a straight face: "Brother Dao's words are wrong, the king ordered to sow Longshang again, not only I and the people of Longxi are excited and happy, but the people of Hexi should also be greatly relieved from the lord of Zhangzhou." We are the border people, and those who are thirsty are nothing more than the royal road, the ugly and rebellious, and the countryside is peaceful. Now he is doing his best for the king's affairs, and he is a fellow traveler. ”

"Yes, yes, but I lost my words."

After Song Ji heard this, his face was even more embarrassed, he waved his hand to hide a little unnaturalness, and then said: "The suburbs are cold and windy, so let's go back to the camp and talk about it." ”

Jincheng has long been under the rule of Liangzhou, the city is well preserved, inside and outside the Jin Hu Yin attached to the people, with the Song Ji led the troops to settle in, half of the city is divided into the army stationed, there are more than 10,000 people.

In Qinchuan, there is no blood in the wrist, only Liangzhou leans on the pillar. This Guanzhong folk song is about the situation of the people in Shaanxi during this period. Guanzhong has been in turmoil for a long time, blood is flowing like a river, and Longshang is also in contention, but only Liangzhou is free from great turmoil during this period and enjoys peace and happiness alone, so a large number of people in Guanxi fled to Liangzhou to avoid disaster.

Although the land west of the river is peaceful, and the Zhang family's operation for several generations has been fruitful, the foundation of this realm is too thin after all, and there is not much potential. Otherwise, the Zhang family has been operating for several generations for decades, and it will not be possible to include even a single Longshang in governance.

As for the troops that Liangzhou threw into Henan this time, there were nearly 100,000 people from Zhang Qian in front of him, and more than 10,000 people from Song Ji in the back, which seemed to be a very large number, but in fact, most of them were people attached to Jin and Hu, or simply requisitioned on the spot in Longshang, and the soldiers who really belonged to the Liangzhou Prefecture were even less than 10,000.

This is also one of the characteristics of Longshang's military affairs, which seems to be overwhelming, but in fact it is all supported by the backbone. Chen An, who called himself the king of Liang in the early years of the township, had hundreds of thousands of people at the peak, and the rise was fierce, and the defeat was also sudden, all by breath, once the defeat was slightly revealed, those who depended on the rabble would quickly disperse, and there was no mature and effective means to restrain these people.

After the two parties entered the camp and sat down, Song Ji finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "According to what Ji Zi has seen, the king of the westward march this time is really worthy of his great wishes?" ”

Song Ji really felt incredible, Li Yi was originally entrusted by him to go east to watch, but after this experience, Li Yi has become the king's guard, this change is so big that he is really a little unacceptable.

"I don't really know how to describe what I saw and felt, but this time the king of the westward journey is indeed different. The soldiers are not afraid of death, and their morale is soaring into the sky, if this kind of weather can't be done, and they can subdue the Longshang group of Hu, it will really destroy my summer crown belt, which makes people desperate and painful! ”

Li Yi also has a wealth of experience, has experienced the most turbulent period in Longshang, and has seen many brave and fierce people, but this time the style of the king master he saw threw him a refreshing and admirable feeling, especially the kind of heroism that kills thousands of armies and can still rush straight into the chaotic battle circle without fear of death, which is not only the sergeant's courage and fierceness can be described.

Similar fierceness, it is not without the strong beams in Longshang, but it is often forced and abused, and it is impossible to get rid of a violent ending. However, the biggest feeling of this royal division is that it is fierce and restrained, and it is not afraid of death when attacking, and it is forbidden when it is silent.

"This is an elite army that is truly controlled by kings!"

If the biggest difference between this Wang Shi and Longshang Qiangliang, Li Yi feels that it is the most basic reason to fight, this is not a group of thugs driven by desire and violence, but a strong army condensed by will and mission: "Its military momentum is far from being able to exhaust words, if the Dao Royal Brother can see it in person, he should have more gratitude." ”

Hearing that Li Yi gave such a high evaluation to this royal division, Song Ji was also surprised. In fact, his news channel is not only Li Yi, but also many scouts, including many good Longshang forces, also have news, many of which talk about the strength of this Wang Division's army.

But many messages are not as good as the kind of amazement that Li Yi couldn't hide on his face when he told him face-to-face.

He has a personal friendship with Li Ti, and he also knows more about his talents, so he attaches much more importance to what Li Ti said, and it is also even more unacceptable. There is also no shortage of elite soldiers in Liangzhou, especially before and after the Yongjia Rebellion, when the state lord sent several people to gallop to help Zhongzhou, Liangzhou is famous and famous, and they are all battles.

But now that I heard Li Yi's evaluation of this Wang Division, it was obvious that they felt that their Liangzhou elite was also incomparable in front of this Wang Division, which made Song Ji a little unacceptable. In particular, Li Yi also worked in the state capital in the old years, but now he turned his head and took refuge in Wang Shi without hesitation, which proved his view with practical actions, rather than just a false praise.

For a while, Song Ji's heart was also full of curiosity, and he really wanted to take a look with his own eyes, what kind of military appearance and temperament was worthy of Li Yi's praise and follow?

But the idea was quickly dispelled by himself, for he knew that this was not the right time to continue his journey eastward. Zhang Qiang, that fool, was greedy for merit and reckless, and secretly sent the generals to lead his troops to stop Wang Shi.

This approach cannot be said to be wrong, after all, Liangzhou has coveted Longshang for a long time, if it can take the opportunity to merge and get a steady stream of soldiers from Longshang, Liangzhou's strength will increase exponentially. But the problem is that since it has been done, it should be done thoroughly, and now not only has it failed to stop Wang Shi's pace in Shanglong, but it has become his prestige, which makes Liangzhou passive.

In fact, long before Li Yi arrived, Zhang Ji repeatedly sent messages urging Song Ji to go east, and Song Ji also arrived in Jincheng half a month ago, and he never lingered here, just unwilling to help Zhang Ji clean up the mess.

This can't be said that he is narrow-minded and self-contained, but in fact, the Zhang brothers attacked Henan this time, and many practices have made them feel cold in Liangzhou.

The Zhang family's foreign gateway can be established in Liangzhou, and it is indispensable for them to help these wealthy families in Liangzhou, but after the Zhang family is stable, their faces have changed abruptly, especially Zhang Jun and his uncle Zhang Mao, who are even more unabashed about the suppression of Liangshi.

Like this battle in Longshang, almost all of them were excluded, and now that Zhang Qian has done something stupid, Song Ji really has no reason to help share it. Moreover, he really has no good way to deal with it, and once the rash eastward advance completely intensifies the contradictions between them, there will be no room for maneuver.

After pondering for a long time, Song Ji spoke: "Ji Zi's trip this time, what will be the situation in Longbian in the future according to what you see?" ”

Although he was a little dissatisfied with Li Yi's behavior of defecting to Wang Shi, he still respected his talent, so he also wanted to hear Li Yi's opinion.

"I was just a savage in Longshang earlier, a guinea dog guarding the household, and what power can I see. But if it's just private gossip, I really think that the state capital's entry into Henan this time is actually a little rash. The root cause of the change in Longshang is not here, but because of the westward expedition of the king of Zhongzhou......"

Li Yi's meaning is obvious, although Hexi and Longshang are adjacent, but Hexi simply lacks the strength to stir up the situation in Longshang, and what he takes advantage of is nothing more than the spread of the eastern situation.

"Zhang's state lord is a great man in the border, and he can protect a realm from harm, and he deserves a good reputation. Where Longshang is located, the cycle is meandering, the mountains and rivers are dense, the township sect is self-defending, there are more groups of Hu Zhuyi all over the ditch and ridge, even if there are strong men, it has to be based for a while, if there is no British master, it will be difficult for a long time after all. Now that the king has ordered Xuanwei, Longshi is excited, and the lord of the Zhang clan is reluctant to come east, what is he doing? ”

Li Yi's remarks are still subtle, although he admits Zhang's good deeds in protecting Liangzhou, but he also feels that his talent is probably only in one state, not to mention anything else, just in terms of his own experience, it can be seen that Liangzhou is not more tolerant.

Forcibly taking Longshang may be able to obtain short-term profits, but these heroes in Longshang are not something that the Zhang family can control, and it is very likely that there will be disasters at that time, but it will make the peace of Liangzhou, which is still boastful, disappear.

"Dou Rong's story is admittedly effective, but Kui Huan's violent death is really admonishable!"

At the turn of the two Han Dynasty, Dou Rong was good at protecting Hexi, Kui Huan fought for the glory of Longshang, Guangwu Zhongxing, Kui Huan was killed, and Dou was naturalized into the country, this old story is quite similar to the current situation.

The Liangzhou Zhang family is protected in Hexi, and there is no intention to imitate Dou Rong, but in Li Yi's view, as the Zhang family has been self-reliant for a long time, it has gradually lost this original intention. ()
