Chapter 850 Seeing Chang'an Flowers in One Day
The battlefield intensity of the Battle of Yanzhao has dropped.
It was quite violent at first, because Shang Chaozong and Meng Shanming didn't know Niu Youdao's intention, so they carried out their desperate intention.
The matter of arranging troops on the battlefield to fight is not something that can be understood on paper. It must have the accumulation of actual combat experience. Niu Youdao knows nothing about this aspect, and he doesn't have the energy to immerse himself in it, so he left it to Shang Chaozong and others did it.
After understanding Niu Youdao's intentions, Shang Chaozong and Meng Shanming quickly adjusted their combat deployment. There was no need to pay too much to fight Zhao Jun. They only needed to restrain the eastern troops. When the time came, Zhao Jun The troops on the eastern front of the army will be defeated without a fight!
The Yan army's offensive has slackened, but now it is Zhao Jun's turn to rush to fight, and the situation when he started a war with the Yan army is reversed.
The governor Pang Teng was in a hurry, his brows were burning with anxiety, the court kept urging him, and he also wanted to make a quick decision so that he could free up his hands to deal with the Tian and Ma rebels in the west.
He also knew that the situation had suddenly become like this, and it was already related to the life and death of Zhao Guo.
Not only the imperial court, but also the three major sects of the Zhao Kingdom were urging them to death. Many people in the Zhao Kingdom panicked.
At the beginning, so many people objected, saying that the soldiers are dangerous and should not start wars lightly, and saying that the end of the Song Dynasty is a lesson learned from the past, but the emperor did not listen, and the governor Pang Teng was there to fan the flames. All the sayings have come out, the pressure on the two monarchs and ministers can be imagined.
Pang Teng tried his best to solve the war in the east.
However, Meng Shanming is not a vegetarian, how can he succeed, personally preside over the deployment of troops and generals, play with Pang Teng on the land of Zhao State, and never confront Pang Teng head-on, once he meets Pang Teng and is killed When he was in a hurry and rushed forward, he immediately swung his soldiers up and bit a few bites.
In terms of general situation, Meng Shanming had the strategic advantage, while Pang Teng was at a disadvantage and was eager for success. The impulsive Zhao Jun was bitten by Yan Jun several times.
Under the heavy losses, Pang Teng had to be honest, and he didn't dare to act rashly anymore. He knew that if he was impulsive, he might be defeated by the Yan army before Tian and Ma officially launched an attack.
Time is on Meng Shanming's side. After a year of full preparation, the Yan army is no longer in short supply of food and grass. Yan army has enough patience to play slowly. You Zhao army has the ability to send a large number of troops to the western front to try.
It can be said that Pang Teng's days are like years, and he is in extreme anxiety.
The eastern front is at a stalemate, and there is not enough strength to deal with the western rebels. The small raiders sent from time to time are not enough for the westerners to bite their teeth. Harassment can be described as watching the rebels slowly rectify themselves.
Zhao Guochao was arguing every day in the hall, and there was no solution to the quarrel.
The three major factions of the Zhao Kingdom went to the Misty Pavilion to seek coordination, and the Misty Pavilion set the rules there and would not easily intervene in the disputes among the nations!
...
Early in the morning, very early in the morning, not long after the city gates of Yanjing opened, more people came in and out of the city gates, and three riders came trampling on the official road outside the city.
Niu Youdao rode his horse in front, while Guan Fangyi and Wu Zhaoxing rode their horses to follow.
Of course, the three of them were not the only ones here, and other personnel made certain arrangements inside and outside the city.
The three came to the gate of the city without haste, but were stopped by the guards.
Now is the time of war, and all suspicious armed strangers who enter the city must dismount and be interrogated according to the rules.
Niu Youdao didn't intend to get off the horse, and said lightly, "Get out of the way!"
You don't have to get off the horse, you have to show your identity that you don't have to accept the interrogation, right? The guard asked: "Who is here? Do you have customs clearance documents?"
Niu Youdao openly spat out his name, "Niu Youdao!"
When he spoke, he applied a little magic power to make a sound, the sound was not loud, but the penetrating power was strong enough to be heard by everyone inside and outside the city gate.
Guan Fangyi and Wu Zhaoxing looked at each other, wondering what the hell Niu Youdao was up to, it was fine to show up in public, and dared to openly register his name, as if others would not know, there are monks guarding the gates of all the cities .
However, both of them knew about Niu Youdao inside and outside the secret, and they knew that since this guy dared to come here so carelessly, he was naturally sure of indulgence.
Sure enough, when the monk who was drinking morning tea on the tower heard the word 'Niu Youdao', he quickly put down his teacup, walked to the wall and looked down.
It happened that Niu Youdao casually raised his head and glanced up, and met the eyes of the monks who were looking up and down the city.
The monks in the city didn't know Niu Youdao or Wu Zhaoxing, but they knew Qi Jing's matchmaker. He heard her name in Qi Jing in his early years and couldn't help but wait and see.
After recognizing the matchmaker, there was no doubt about it.
The party did not dismount to accept the inspection, but the city gate guard greeted them and let them go.
There are golden wings flying from the top of the city to the palace to report urgently...
Niu Youdao? The three major sects of the Yan Kingdom are looking for this guy everywhere, and this guy actually showed up in Yanjing, is it true?
The monks of the three sects stationed in the palace immediately took action and sent people who had seen Niu Youdao to verify the authenticity.
In the morning, when everything is awake and busy, it is most lively.
Street vendors and pawns, there was an endless stream of vehicles and horses, Niu Youdao rode his horses in a hurry, like a passer-by among all living beings, and the monks who noticed the flying and landed on the eaves just glanced indifferently.
With the appearance of the majestic palace, there were fewer pedestrians on the road, so Niu Youdao led the horse and went straight to the gate of the palace.
Wu Zhaoxing and Guan Fangyi look at me and I look at you from time to time...
In the court hall hall of the palace, hundreds of officials gather and are in the early court.
A eunuch at the back of the palace tiptoed out, walked up to the chief executive, Tian Yu, and whispered a few words.
Tian Yu's eyes flashed sharply, his face changed slightly, he went up a few steps, leaned over beside the emperor's throne, and whispered to Shang Jianxiong, "Your Majesty, Niu Youdao has entered Beijing."
Shang Jianxiong was startled, he was at the court early, and he didn't make much movement. He sat on the seat, looked at the courtiers with his head straight, but actually talked to Tian Yu in a low voice, "What is he doing in the capital?"
Tian Yu: "I don't know, just got the news, just entered through the city gate, the three major factions have sent people to watch."
Shang Jianxiong: "The three major factions are unreliable, so send your own people to keep an eye on them, and make a decision after finding out what he is here for!"
"Yes!" Tian Yu withdrew.
There are quite a few ghost spirits in the court, and they have noticed the abnormal reaction on the emperor's throne, and they all know that when there is nothing special, Tian Yu will not be so eager to report it immediately.
Naturally, Tong Mo also noticed it, obviously noticing that Shang Jianxiong looked at him twice more.
He was familiar with Shang Jianxiong's expression and reaction, and he knew that Shang Jianxiong seemed to have something to discuss with him.
Not long after, Tian Yu, who had been away for a while, reappeared, his footsteps seemed a little hurried, he climbed up the steps again, leaned over and whispered to Shang Jianxiong: "Niu Youdao came directly to the palace."
Shang Jianxiong couldn't hold back anymore, he turned his head and said nervously, "How many people are here?"
"Only three people. People from the intelligence department report, Niu Youdao, Qi Jing's matchmaker, and Wu Zhaoxing, the sixth-ranked expert in the Dan list!"
"Notify the manpower in the palace to take precautions."
The officials gradually realized that the emperor was obviously absent-minded in the morning...
Outside the main gate of the palace, the guards had just stopped Niu Youdao and the others, then they were restrained by the message from the palace and let them go.
Under the early morning sun, the sound of trampling horseshoes is crisp and sweet on the stone slabs.
Niu Youdao didn't get off his horse, held the reins, swayed on the horse's back, and rode across the arch bridge outside the palace gate without hurrying, leading Guan and Wu to ride directly into the palace.
The guards on both sides looked at the three of them with vigilance and curiosity, curious as to who it was.
According to the rules, apart from the chariots and horses in the palace, as well as some authorized ministers, when the rest approached the palace gate, the civil servants got off the carriages and the military officials got off the horses.
Even ordinary monks have to abide by this rule, and the three people in front of them just rode into the palace arrogantly.
Especially the expressionless person at the head, who is completely defiant, seems to have no regard for the palace at all.
Wu Zhaoxing and Guan Fangyi followed on horseback, looking around. It was the first time in their lives that they rode directly into the palace, and they followed arrogantly for a while, but it felt weird.
On the upper floor of the Miyagi, a general asked others, "Who is here?"
Others replied: "I don't know, the guardians of the three major sects let us go, and they opened their mouths, we dare not disobey!"
The corridor of the palace gate is slightly dark, and there are ruts on the hard stone floor where the carriages have been rolling for a long time.
The sound of horseshoes passed through the long corridor of the palace gate, and as soon as they saw the light, they saw a group of monks waiting for them inside.
The monks of the three major sects, the first three are the elders of the three major sects, Xiaoyao Palace Xiyao, Zijindong Shenchun, and Lingjianshan Luo Mingjian.
A disciple nearby pointed at Niu Youdao in the ears of several elders, and pointed out that Niu Youdao was the leader.
The sound of horseshoes all the way into the palace had to stop here and was stopped.
Sitting on the horse's back, Niu Youdao looked down at the crowd slowly for a while, then suddenly smiled brightly, turned over and jumped off the horse, Wu Zhaoxing and Guan Fangyi followed suit.
"Dare to ask, but the three elders, Xi Yao, Shen Shenchun, and Luo Mingjian?" Niu Youdao clasped his fists politely, and had never met three of them, but his news channels were not enough to not even know who the three major sects currently occupy the palace.
Elder Zijin Cave Shen Baochun nodded, giving him an answer.
Xi Yao, the elder of Xiaoyao Palace, said in a deep voice: "Niu Youdao, every place has its own rules, this place is the center of the Yan Kingdom, it's too much for you to come in directly on horseback, isn't it?"
Niu Youdao deliberately looked around with disdain, and said: "This is the center of Yan Kingdom. In my opinion, Zijin Cave, Xiaoyao Palace and the land of the sects of Lingjian Mountain are the center of Yan Kingdom."
These words made Xi Yao a little speechless, and it was right to praise him that Xiaoyao Palace is higher than this palace.
Luo Mingjian, the elder of Lingjian Mountain, spoke out against him, "You should go back to Beijing for the first time? I heard that you have been avoiding coming here before, but this time you are quite courageous."
The words obviously meant to ridicule him for being a shrinking turtle before, but now that he has something to rely on, it's like that, and it has the taste of scolding him for being a villain.
Niu Youdao didn't take it seriously, he put his hands on the sword slowly, smiled, nodded politely and said: "The past was so dirty that it was not enough to boast, but now there is no limit to debauchery. The spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease, and I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day! "
He even recited poems? Everyone was taken aback, Guan and Wu looked at each other in blank dismay.
Everyone thought about the word 'Chang'an' for a little while, and they guessed that Yanjing is a place to live and live for a long time.
Everyone gradually figured out the meaning of his words, was he saying that the predicament in the past was not worth mentioning, but isn't the spring breeze coming now? The regrets of the past are all dissipated in the compensation of "seeing all the flowers in Chang'an in one day", regardless of the temporary gains and losses, it is a good mind to think about it!
"Still proud of the horseshoe disease?" Luo Mingjian snorted and sneered.
