On March 25, the south wind suddenly rose and Lin Tao burst into waves.

Birds fly happily, sometimes circling into the forest, sometimes rising into the sky, chirping, very lively.

On the rolling hills, small courtyards are hidden among the flowers and willows.

To be honest, Shao Shude would rather live in Shendu Garden with fresh air. The environment here is so good. Chang'an does not have such a large area of ​​forests. Breathing the fresh air, riding horses and hunting, the joy of life is this.

He stretched out his left hand, and a huge golden eagle flapped its wings and landed on the leather case.

The golden eagle's sharp eyes fell in the flower field, and there seemed to be a corpse lying there. Judging from the snow-white and delicate flesh, it should be delicious.

The body of the "corpse" was covered with a red skirt, but it was wrinkled around the waist, and the upper and lower bodies were exposed naked outside. There were many grass chips and dust on the face, chest and legs, which seemed to be traces caused by rolling on the ground and friction.

The "corpse" lie down for a while, then stood up silently, tidied up the broken dress with ease. After finishing the tidi, he bent down to clean up the crushed flowers. The hem of the skirt was gone, and the sunlight fell on the back of the buttocks, shining with dazzling white light.

Shao Shude quietly admired it for a while, and the magnificence of nature and the gracefulness of women, these two kinds of beauties are not different from Xuan Ze.

Zhang Hui gave Shao Shude a blank look, took the dress and changed it to someone, and took Qi back to the hall.

"When I go to Xu Si, I may see Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin brothers." Shao Shude shook his arm, the golden eagle flapped his wings and soared into the sky.

Yang Xingmi's army has obvious shortcomings, and the biggest problem is that the cavalry has weak strength.

If the cavalry is not good, the problem is big. The simplest thing is that the infantry arrays of both sides fight. If the Xia army is defeated, the cavalry can fight to the death to counterattack, stop the enemy's pursuit, and give the rear time to take in the shelter and rectify. If the Huai army is defeated, they will be driven directly by the Xia army infantry, and in the end, even if they can run back, the armor and weapons will probably be almost thrown away - to run away lightly.

Therefore, their fault tolerance rate is low and there is no way to go wrong.

Over the years, Yang Xingmi has also been working hard to improve the cavalry's strength. After all, Qian Liu, next door, can raise tens of thousands of horses in Hangzhou. If Lao Yang doesn't discipline the cavalry, it will be in vain.

His ranch is mainly in Shengzhou, which is relatively desolate and has mountains and a cooler climate, which is conducive to raising horses.

There is no shortage of cavalry talents. For example, Li Shenfu, Li Tao, Yuan Zhen, Liu Cun, Chai Zaiyong and others are all northerners. They were powerful generals who followed Gao Pian south back then. Tuoba Renfu, Zhu Xuan, and Zhu Jin took the remnants and further enriched their strength in this area. There is no shortage of talents.

The restriction point is still in the number of war horses.

Shao Shude led two thousand people south this time, and these were all talented people with both infantry and cavalry, which was very rare. In addition, the two armies of silver spear and Feixiong have also headed to Bianzhou in advance to collect supplies and prepare to go south.

After he brought these more than 10,000 cavalry to join the battlefield, he could be said to be a force to change balance.

Before leaving, he defeated the enemy in the flower field, which made him feel so happy.

"Your Highness..." Zhang Hui looked at Qi, who was covered in dirty body, hesitated, and said, "Your Highness holds hundreds of thousands of troops in his hand, so don't take risks easily. Victory and defeat are common among military strategists. Even if you lose several times, it's no big deal. The thief is not capable of fighting Luoyang. Remember, remember."

"It's okay." Shao Shude smiled and said, "Xingmi is just like that. There is a way to manage the local area, but it's not good to fight. In the past, he fought with Sun Ru, and was just a line of victory or defeat."

Zhang Huiyou sighed.

It was actually nothing to defeat the war, but she was afraid that something would happen to Shao Shude. She had given birth to a child for Shao Gong's wife, and could live in the palace with rich clothes and food. She didn't want to wander around anymore and be turned around.

She knew clearly that with her appearance and the legendary experience of serving King Liang and King Xia, she would never be let go. Even if the martial artists only made a collection and boasted to outsiders, they would take her home.

"Your Highness." The eunuch Wang Yanfan leaned over for a long time. Seeing that Shao Shude was empty, he ran over and reported, "General Wang has led two thousand soldiers to camp in Hebi Palace, near the Rongyanmen. The army camp has also been erected."

"General Wang" was the deputy envoy of the Chishui Army, Wang Qianyu, the hometown party of Zhuge Shuang. He has been with Shao Shude for many years. He has participated in the battle to fight against the Liugu Tubo and made many military achievements.

Shao Shude has moved the items stored in Shangyang Palace and many palace people to the Hebi Palace in Shenduyuan. He is basically the core personnel of the former Jinxian Temple. He must protect his savings for half his life, so he has transferred two thousand soldiers to guard the Hebi Palace.

"After I leave, if the saint wants to go to Shangyang Palace, he will stop him in the name of the fact that the palace city is still being repaired." Shao Shude said: "Shenduyuan is a military important place, and no one is allowed to come in. If the saint wants to hunt, just let him go to Mount Mang."

"As for your order." Wang Yanfan replied obediently.

Currently, there are two eunuchs in Luoyang, namely Qiu Silian and Wang Yanfan. The eunuchs are official positions, and from the fourth rank, they are considered the eunuchs heads around the emperor - the eunuchs heads around the queen are called Nei Jushi, and from the fifth rank.

It is possible that the saints go to Shangyang Palace. When the emperors of the state come to Dongdu, they don’t like to live in Ziwei City. Emperor Gaozong, Wuhou, and Xuanzong all like to live in Shangyang Palace and follow the government. The reason is also very simple. The environment here is beautiful and it is a water-view palace complex. People live in it comfortably, and there is no heavy, solemn and depressing atmosphere like Ziwei City.

In fact, you can tell from the names of the gates of the two palaces.

The gates of Ziwei City are called Yingtian, Mingde, Yaoyi, etc., which are very serious and serious.

Shangyang Palace is a stream of images that enhances fragrance, contains dew, connects immortals, and immortals.

The name of the city gate of Shenduyuan is even more amazing, such as looking at spring, catching smoke, welcoming autumn, Lingxi, and wind. It sounds like a place to go on vacation.

The emperor is also a human being. After living in the suppressed Ziwei Palace for a long time, he thought of Shangyang Palace and Shenduyuan relaxing.

"You must work together with Qiu Silian and do not fight." Shao Shude warned: "Search more and practice more in the newly sent foreign teenagers. Those palace ladies of the saints, small yellow gates, can win over them if they can, and try to arrange our people as much as possible. In the future, the saints must keep a close eye on every move. What he did, what he said, who he met, what civil and military officials he made, pick up the important ones and write them down and send them to the army. Do not hesitate."

"As for the order." Wang Yanfan nodded like a chicken pecking at the rice.

He knew how difficult it was for them, the old eunuchs, to gain the trust of the new master. Liu Jingxuan's lessons from the past were not far away.

After explaining all this, Shao Shude met Wang Qianyu again and encouraged him.

As the family business becomes bigger and bigger, it is not easy to get the opportunity to make contributions. Shao Shude could see that Wang Qianyu still hopes to go to the front line to fight and lay the foundation for future generations.

But Wang Qianyu also knew that the Chishui Army would stay in Luoyang. It was impossible for the Dongdu, which was established for a lot of money, to rely solely on the troops of Henan Prefecture and Prefecture. That was not enough and very dangerous. There must be a trustworthy army to suppress the situation.

After finishing all this, Shao Shude left Shenduyuan in a low-key manner late at night on the 26th, heading eastward and heading straight to Bianzhou.

*******

Li Shenfu finally returned to Chuzhou.

He was the governor of Chuzhou, but for two years he had been fighting with the Xia people in the Huang and Qi areas of the Western Front. The result was that it was very bleak, with soldiers and generals missing, and lost the city and land.

He could see that the King of Wu wanted to cultivate Liu Wei. Perhaps because he was from Luzhou, he was the king of Wu's hometown party.

But the battle formation cannot be so sarcastic.

Liu Wei became the governor of Anzhou, but was defeated by Zhe Zongben. He retreated to Qizhou and was defeated, which shows that his ability was limited.

If you really trust Liu Wei, you can let him be a personal general and master the guards and personal soldiers. This position does not require too strong marching and combat capabilities. However, as a general and governor, Liu Wei is not qualified.

The three states of An, Huang and Qi were lost one after another, and the expansion results of several years were destroyed. Now the bandits are heading towards Shuzhou, plundering everywhere, and panic. The continuous failures on the western front are to blame.

Now the King of Wu transferred the old general of Heiyundu. Li Jian from Caizhou came to Shuzhou to unite with the remnants of the remnants who retreated from the front line. He also had a total of 20,000 soldiers in Shuzhou. Yingcheng defended itself and waited for change.

At the same time, Tao Ya, the governor of Shezhou, led more than 10,000 navy personnel, climbed the river and raided the Xia army and food route, which barely held back their progress.

But Li Shenfu felt that the Western Front might not be able to be delayed for a long time. What can be done depends entirely on whether the Xia soldiers' food and grass can keep up. E, An, Huang and Qi are broken, the people fled, and it is difficult to raise food and grass on the spot. It is necessary to transfer food and grass for a long distance, which is a great price. In addition, if you cannot transfer by water, it will be difficult for the Xia soldiers to get sufficient supplies, which is the only opportunity for the Huai Army to win.

On the Luzhou front, Zhe Silun, the governor of Huaixi in the Xia people, also lacked strong troops and sufficient supplies to move south and advance eastward.

This was originally a great opportunity for Zhu Yanshou, but the Luzhou soldiers he trained had experienced painful failures and had only recovered a little in recent years. The two sides have been stalemate here for a long time, and each other has a victory or defeat, and it is difficult for anyone to break through.

But these two lines are actually not the main fronts. What really has a significant impact is the Xuzhou war that has begun one after another.

Whether the King of Wu can gain a foothold in Huaibei and whether he can gain a foothold in the Central Plains depends on whether he can drive Li Tangbin back.

This person is now the number one general under Shao Shude. He has successively conquered the two towns of Pinglu and Taining. If even Xuzhou is taken down by him, it will be a great cause to conquer the three towns. Looking at the whole world, it will be unprecedented.

A loud trumpet sounded from afar.

Above the canal, thousands of sails gathered, and hundreds of boats competed for the current.

Ships of food and equipment were sent through Qingkou, and then headed north along Sishui to Xuzhou.

The morale of the warriors is pretty good. They have never experienced failures. They are very confident and dare to fight. They are lined up in neat rows, and under the protection of the navy, they are heading north to the Central Plains.

"Repair cities, forts, and accumulate food, grass, soldiers, soldiers in prefectures, counties, towns, and villages in Tutu, and villages. Do not make any mistakes..." Li Shenfu turned around and ordered the general.
