I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 74
The victory team of more than [-] people set off from Liangzhou and entered Xiaoguan via Longyou Road.

Xiaoguan is one of the four fortresses in Guanzhong, guarding the northwest passage of Guanzhong, guarding the danger of Longshan Mountain.After passing Xiaoguan, that is to say, entering Guanzhong.

When we set off from Hexi, the autumn wind was still falling and the leaves were falling. It was already November when we entered Guanzhong, and the snow had already started to fall.

The scenery seen along the way is also quite different from that in Longyou, Hexi.

"I'm used to seeing the endless stretches of Longshang, thousands of miles of yellow sand, but the mountains and rivers in Guanzhong are steep. No wonder it is said that those in Guanzhong win the world."

Xue Cong, who was riding on a horse, sighed that there is no cloud in the Longshang of Hexi, giving people a sense of the sky and the earth.And Guanzhong is a place of great shape, surrounded by dangerous and solid fortresses, and it has been the treasure land of the emperor Longxing since ancient times.

Fu Jinchuan, who was traveling with him, said: "One of my grandfather's staff once mentioned a very interesting saying. He compared the world to a chessboard, and Guanzhong, Youyan, Southeast, and Sichuan and Shu are divided into four corners. The four corners, Hedong, The lands of Hanzhong, Jingxiang, and Qilu are four sides, so-called golden horns and silver borders, each has its own unique advantages, and it can be advanced, attacked, retreated, and defended. Among them, Guanzhong is the most, "

Xue Cong laughed and said, "Isn't it Xiao Xiangru, a powerful fighter?"

Fu Jinchuan nodded and said: "It's Mr. Xiao. I also learned chess from him for a while, but I didn't make much progress. Mr. Xiao taught me the topography of the world with a chessboard, and I benefited a lot."

Xue Cong nodded and said: "My father also said that Mr. Xiao is extremely intelligent. He can deduce the general trend of the world on the chessboard, and he has the talent to understand the world."

The Great Master Xiao Xiangru, from the Xiao family in Lanling, used to be Fu Xun's staff, and later became an official in Hedong.

Listening to Xue and Fu discussing the terrain of the world and how to use troops, the prince of Tie Lebu, Jap Huali, who had been riding on a horse for two months, was only looking at the steep mountains and rivers along the way, marveling.

Before, I felt that Hexi Road was big enough, but this way through Hexi and Longyou, I haven’t reached Xijing Daxing in almost two months, and it’s even far away from Shangjing. Now he is really a little bit worried about Dajin. Awe from within.

Such a vast country and steep mountains and rivers cannot be lived in by those who are not virtuous.

After the team entered Guanzhong, they walked for another ten days and finally arrived at Daxing City in Xijing.

A long, long city wall appeared in front of everyone. It was tall, majestic, and magnificent. Dajin Xijing seemed to be worthy of all praises.

Seeing Daxing City, Zhao Fubo was extremely excited, he was home.A few years ago, he was the "Daxing Little Overlord", but now he has served in the army for three years and made a lot of military exploits, and he has become much more mature and stable.

In order to go home, before entering the city, Zhao Fubo put on the armor on purpose, and Pang Yun and others asked: "Little prince, why are you going? Seeing that it's already Daxing, why are you still wearing armor?" what?"

Zhao Fubai smiled and said, "That's because I'm going back to Daxing, so I don't have to put on my armor and let their elders in Daxing see how majestic I, Zhao Fubai, are now?"

According to the general practice of the Jin army, unless it is on the front line, they do not wear armor when marching. Some armors are carried by horses, and some are carried by auxiliary soldiers.

Currently in the hinterland of Guanzhong, there is no need to wear armor. Even if the soldiers of the victory team wore armor, Daxing City would not be able to enter.

But Jap Huali looked at the Daxing City in front of him, and he was amazed.

Just as surprised as he was were the accompanying [-] guards, as well as the captured princes and nobles of Yuezhen.

"It's a mistake to be an enemy of Dajin." General Kang Rile of Yuezhen Kingdom exclaimed. Along the way, he has already lamented Dajin's vast land and resources countless times, but this time he still can only sigh.

The team camped outside the city. Except for the team on duty, the rest were on vacation. Fu Jinchuan and Xue Cong also entered the city to attend the dinner held in the Chengyun Hall of Prince Yong's Mansion.

The participants are all Xijing Xungui.

In addition to Fu Jinchuan and Xue Cong, Zhao Fubai also attended the dinner party in the victory team, and this kid insisted on wearing armor for two hours at the dinner party.

"The Marquis of Lantian said a few words to me just now, vaguely intending to get married. I heard that his daughter is pretty good. Fu Bai is also old, and it's time to consider marriage. I don't know what you think, Aye."

After the dinner was over, Prince Yong's son helped King Yong Zhao Shenlin into the study, poured tea for the old prince, and then said slowly.

After hearing this, Zhao Shenli thought about it, and then said: "Lantianhou's mansion also lived in Daxing, and it's not that I haven't seen Fu Bai in the early years. I remember that your wife mentioned to him secretly that Mrs. Lantianhou didn't even answer the conversation, but It's because Fu Bai is a bit of a dandy, and he is afraid that his daughter will be wronged when she marries, but now that Fu Bai has become a weapon, he took the initiative to mention such and such a good match?"

Prince Yong's son said: "Then when I see Hou Lantian again, I will reject him."

Zhao Shenli shook his head and said: "No need, just ignore this problem. Fu Bai is seventeen years old. This time, he will go to Beijing with him. His Majesty will give him a marriage and find him a noble daughter in Shangjing to marry him."

Prince Yong's son smiled and said, "Aye must have a candidate, right?"

Zhao Shenli shook his head, smiled without saying a word.

"Grandson pays respects to Ah Weng, pays respects to Aye."

At this time, Zhao Fubai, who had gone to remove his armor after the banquet, came to the study to greet his grandfather and father.

"Good boy, since our ancestor King Yongding, you are the first one of our lineage to personally fight the enemy. It seems that I made the right choice. It is indeed right to let you go to Hexi for training."

The old prince looked at the reborn eldest grandson with a look of complacency.

Prince Yong's son on the side also nodded, with approval in his eyes.

"Ah Weng and Aye don't know. After I went to Hexi, Marshal Fu kept practicing with the dental soldiers and watched his brother-in-law, General Fu, go out to cut leeks every day. The first battle was the Battle of Baiting. We had 800 people. I rushed towards the tens of thousands of troops of the Golden Horde, I didn’t think about anything at the time, I took a knife and slashed, and when I recorded my merits, I beheaded eleven enemies.”

". Later, during the war in Shule City, we followed General Fu to kill Qingtang people with three hundred tigers. General Fu was really brave. He almost captured Tuoba Chide with a few people. In that battle, I also stabbed and killed a dozen Qingtang people with a spear."

Zhao Fubai's eyebrows were beaming with joy, the old prince laughed heartily when he heard it, and clapped his hands from time to time.

"After going to Beijing this time, what are your plans?"

After listening to Zhao Fubai finished speaking, the old prince asked with a smile.

"Going back to Ah Weng, my grandson wants to stay in Beijing. I heard from my brother-in-law, that is, General Fu, that we can go to the East Palace to serve as the sixth leader. My grandson also wants to work in the East Palace, and I can continue to learn from General Fu. .”

The old prince smiled and said: "Okay, if you go to Shangjing, you will also be loyal to the country. I agree. I will give His Majesty another form at that time. Let you stay in Shangjing."

"Thank you, grandpa, for making it happen."

Zhao Fubai was very excited, before he was worried that the old prince would disagree.

"Okay, your mother has missed you for a long time, and has been worrying about you every day for the past few years, even more so since you went to battle with Fu Sanlang, go and see your mother."

"Yes, my grandson will leave."

Watching Zhao Fubai leave, Zhao Shenli kept smiling on his old face.

"Zhong Shen."

"The son is here." Zhao Zhongshen, the son of Prince Yong, replied.

The smile on the old prince's face disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression.

"You know something about the affairs of the court. Yanfan is now in great power, but the court is in decline. You need to make some preparations early."

When Zhao Zhongshen heard it, he was a little stunned, "Prepare early? Aye, my Yong Palace is of the blood of the Taizu. Is it possible that I want to follow Yan Fan?"

The old prince looked at the eldest son who had always acted respectfully, but now he couldn't get angry.

"What are you thinking? I told you to prepare early, not to go to Yan Fan, but to rectify the Guanzhong military settlement. I haven't paid much attention to things in the past few years, and I don't need to think about what the military settlement below looks like. Guanzhong is an important place in the world, and it is also the back of Shangjing. If Yan Fan makes a rebellion, if the imperial court can’t resist it, they can only retreat into Guanzhong and hold on, relying on the danger of Weihan to resist the enemy.”

When Zhao Zhongshen heard it, he was a little dizzy, why did he say this in an instant?

"I belong to the lineage of Prince Yong's Mansion, and I have lived in Xijing for generations. Several generations of King Yong have served as left-behind in Xijing. The court has never been suspicious. My Yongwang Mansion must not disappoint the trust of the court. Let Fu Bai go to Beijing to show to Beijing that the Guanzhong will be rectified. Military settlements and defense are not plotting against evil, His Majesty and the Prince's Palace are generous people, but we must prevent others from using this matter to slander Yongwang's Mansion, if Fu Bai is in the East Palace, His Majesty will have something to say, understand?"

Zhao Zhongshen bowed and said, "My son would like to be taught."

According to Yongwang Zhao's trial, the biggest difficulty for the court is the lack of money, but the biggest threat is definitely the Yan Fan in Liaodong. The rest, such as the Qingtang people and the Golden Horde, are not worth mentioning.

At the same time, he also understood the truth that there was the Great Jin court first, and then the Yongwang Mansion.

Since ancient times, the clan of a country, when the country fell, no matter whether the clan was close or distant, whether it could survive or not depended on whether the new dynasty was benevolent or not.

If there is no skin left, how will the hair be attached?
