That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 419

This vast rain of swords has both fiction and reality. What fell on Wu Yu and others' heads was of course fiction, but what fell on Sun Zhihong's side was too real to be true.

Sun Zhihong's face was serious. He was naturally not afraid of such flashy methods, but he still had to worry about the man and woman behind him. If these two people were hurt in any way, then he would really be beyond redemption.

Naturally, Xu Yi needless to say, this generation of Xihe County King, the empress's nephew, a real relative of the emperor, the woman surnamed Wei is no different, she is the granddaughter of the governor Wei Jin, if only power In other words, the Wei family is even higher than the Xu family. Although the Xu family also had a great governor, Xu Lin, after all, how can it be compared to the current governor?

In terms of seniority, Xu Lin is of the generation of Emperor Wuzu, and he has a high prestige in the army. Back then, there were five governors in Dazheng, namely Zhang Qing, Xu Lin, Mu Renqi, Qin Zheng, and Xiao Lie. Among them, Xu Lin is second only to Zhang Qing who sits in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

Later, the fate of the five people was different. First, Xu Lin was ordered to go on an expedition to the grassland and was defeated, so he had to surrender to Emperor Xiao.Then Zhang Qing died in the Taimiao Incident jointly launched by Xiao's father and son.

After the Taimiao Incident, Qin Zheng led his army to be trapped in an isolated city in the north, and finally, under the joint attack of Xiao Lie and Shepherd Qi, the army was defeated and died.

After that, the Wuzu Emperor Xiao Lie took control of the government as a great prime minister, and the shepherd was named the King of Liao. At this time, the Xiao Emperor was regarded as the Northwest Xiaoni because he personally killed the Emperor Shenzong, but it was generally called the Northwest king.

Later, it was Emperor Xiao who launched the first Southern Expedition, and the troops were directed at Shuzhou, Huzhou, and Xiangzhou, while Mu Renqi took advantage of the emptiness of troops in the northwest, and personally led the Northeast army into the territory of Xiheyuan, and the soldiers approached the city of Zhongdu. .

At this time, Xiao Jin, Lan Yu, Lin Han and others were not in the city. Only Xu Lin and Princess Lin Yinping, who did not have much military power, stayed in the central capital. From the point of view of the shepherd, Lin Yinping was a girl, and Xu Lin had been in the capital all these years. He is neglected in battle, and most of the time he is a governor without military power. The central capital is already within easy reach, but shepherd Qi never imagined that it was these two people who ruined his long-term hegemony. Xu Lin personally led the army to defend the city, making it difficult for him to capture Zhongdu. At the same time, Xiao Jin went to Jiangdu to persuade Lu Qian to retreat, and Lan Yu and Lin Han's army was able to return to the army smoothly. , Forming a front and back double-teaming trend against the shepherds.

In the final battle, Xu Lin was still leading the army, defeating Shepherd Qi, and Shepherd Qi led the [-] remnant army back to the three northeastern states in embarrassment.

From then on, Shepherd Qi had no more energy to compete in the world, so he could only hide in a corner of the northeast. In the end, it was Xiao Jin who was sent to the Northeast. Ranked second among the meritorious officials of Yange, he was named King of Xihe County with a different surname.

The first battle of Xiheyuan was the last battle of the Northwest Army's southern expedition, which laid the foundation for Xu Lin to be named the king of Xihe County in the future. It was also the last time Xu Lin personally led the army, just like the last afterglow of a sunset.

But it was also during this Southern Expedition that a young general began to emerge, and he was Wei Jin.

The natural dangers of Shuzhou are still the most dangerous, and the Jiange is the most important. Wei Jin personally led five thousand soldiers to sneak across the Yinping Road, bypassing the Jiange, and went straight to Jiangyou Pass in Shuzhou.The guard at Jiangyou Guan believed that he had the natural danger of Jiange, and neglected to take precautions. He was defeated by Wei Jin's 5000 people in one battle. The soldiers and horses went straight to Fucheng.

Tang Yongbu, the guard of Fucheng, vowed to defend the city with a thousand soldiers.Wei Jin ordered a strong attack and personally supervised the battle. Four thousand soldiers from the Northwest braved arrow rain, rolling stones, and wood to attack the city with the force of ants. From dawn to dusk, hundreds of people were killed in battle.

At the time of Shenshi, the siege equipment taken from the arsenal of Jiangyouguan was transported to the battlefield. The guards and soldiers of Fucheng had no fighting spirit anymore.

After this war, Jiange had become an isolated city and had to surrender, and half of Shuzhou was returned to the northwest.

This is Wei Jin's first time leading the army alone, just like the dawn of the rising sun.

This southern expedition seems to have completed the alternation of the new and old governors in the future.

In fact, seriously speaking, Wei Jin and Xu Lin also have a close relationship. Wei Jin's uncle, Wei Chi, was Xu Lin's number one aide, so Xu Lin took good care of this junior, and Wei Jin was able to make a familiar face in front of Emperor Xiao. , Xu Lin contributed the most, and even Xiao Lin agreed to let him lead five thousand soldiers to sneak across Yinping, and there are also Xu Lin's factors.

Because of this, Wei Jin has always held great respect for the former governor. Over the years, the Wei and Xu families have frequent contacts. Wei Jin even intends to marry his granddaughter to Xu Yi. Empress Xu is also happy about this marriage. Seeing its success, that's why the two of them traveled to Jiangnan together this time.

The little girl's name is Wei Yuanyi, just like Xu Yi, with the word Yi in her name.

Wei Yuanyi's looks are good, but she's not as good as Xiao Zhinan, and this is due to the grandfather of the governor.Although Wei Jin was a warrior, he didn't have a bearded face and leopard head and eyes around him. When he was young, he was also a general with a white horse and silver spear.Wei Jin himself has an extraordinary appearance, and most of his children are also handsome. His son Wei Qing is even more famous than the blue, and is famous in the imperial capital. Xiao Huang even wanted to match Wei Qing with the widowed Xiao Yuyi, just because of Xiao Yuyi's It's okay to strongly oppose it.

What is class?Take the marriage between Xu Yi and Wei Yuanyi as an example. It seems that they are just a pair of well-matched young people. In fact, what is hidden behind it is the deep friendship between the Wei and Xu families that has lasted for four generations. How can outsiders easily get involved?

If Xu Beiyou didn't have Han Xuan as a adoptive father, how could he get the praise of Mr. Xu in Jiangdu? As an outsider, he might be regarded as a wild dog without a master by these noble sons who have the identity of insiders, even if he has the land of immortality Even Xu Yi and his like dared to take advantage of the court's momentum to kill them.

But with Han Xuan standing behind him, he has the status of an insider, and Xu Yi can't borrow the power of the court, and can only use his means to distinguish between the superior and the inferior.

If you want to know straightness, you must measure the line; if you want to know the radius, you must follow the rules.Inside and outside the bureau, there are rules, and indeed some people can disobey these rules, but juniors like Xu Yi are not among them.

Xu Beiyou was in a daze in a timely manner. If he didn't have the banner of the cabinet minister on his head, he might not be facing a chief of ceremonies at this time, but a vast number of hidden guards and soldiers of the Jiangnan army. .

Thinking about it, Master had also considered this aspect when he accepted himself as an apprentice.

If Jianzong wants to fight against Taoism, he must take advantage of the general situation of the court, and if he wants to take advantage of the general situation of the court, he must first become an insider of the court.

It is true that Xu Beiyou, who has a secondary foster father, is blessed by nature, but that alone is not enough, so he wants to marry Her Royal Highness as much as possible, and become the third son-in-law of Daqi Tian's family.

Xu Beiyou slowly closed his eyes, whether it was Zhiyun or Wu Yu, they were all excellent women, and they were all women who were destined for him, but they couldn't help Xu Beiyou revive the Sword Sect.

In life, there are gains and losses.

At this time, the rain of swords that filled the sky was already out of ten, and all of them were blocked by Sun Zhihong.

Xu Beiyou opened his eyes again with determination.

He no longer pressed Tian Lan's sword head, but held Tian Lan's sword hilt.

The sword lies in hiding, hiding the sword and drawing the sword again.

Sword Qi soared into the sky and shot at the bullfighting bull.
