Yuan Shi Tian

Chapter 165: Horizontal and vertical
Woo!
Woo!
Woo!
Strong warriors, wearing small cowhide armor and carrying swords, stood on the city wall, with their cheeks bulging high, blowing cowhide horns.

Arms are ready, bows and crossbows are drawn, and a famous soldier stands on both sides of the city gate. The city wall is tens of feet high, like a ferocious beast, lying on the land of Nancai.

Green willows are planted in front of Tangyi City Gate. The swaying green buds bring a strong spring color.

Today's Tangyi is no longer in the same state of decline that Xun Shaoyu saw a few years ago.After Xun Shaoyu's governance over the past few years, Heyi's appearance took on a completely new look.

Diamonds were kneaded into rice slurry, and the walls of the city were built up. Traces of dark black gold could not help but flow from the surface of the wall.

The neatly built city walls were polished and polished all around, like a bright mirror.

The polished and polished wall is like a bird that never falls. Unless a top expert is climbing up, ordinary ascetics will look at the wall and sigh in vain.

Xun Shaoyu grasped the riding whip, rode a black dragon colt, and [-] [black-winged] cavalry, and the flags were unfolded one by one.Ju Ran was silent and followed him silently.

In front of the city gate, Shangyang Chao looked stern, surrounded by a group of civil and military officials, all of whom were the pillars and cornerstones of Tangyi, waiting for their lord's triumphant return.

tread--

tread--

The sound of the black dragon colt's hoofbeats was observed from far to near, and there was only one heavy sound of the horse's hooves.

Moreover, looking at the entire [Black Wing] army, the sound of the horse's hooves sounded like a thunderclap.

This is the powerful army that Xun Shaoyu built with three years of hard work.

He is deeply familiar with the three tastes of military strategists: it is as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as aggressive as fire, as motionless as a mountain, as unpredictable as the clouds, and as moving as thunder.

Just by looking at its military appearance, you can tell that it is at its peak!
Shangyang Chao came forward to welcome him, bowed his head and saluted, saying: "The mountain people come to Yang Chao to welcome the Lord... Wan Sheng Jin'an!"

"...Congratulations to my lord, Wansheng Jin'an!!"

All the staff knelt on the ground, their foreheads touching the ground.

"...Congratulations to my lord, Wansheng Jin'an!"

Thousands of troops suddenly made a noise and shouted loudly.

Xun Shaoyu tightened the reins, stroked the sword on his waist with one hand, and said, "Gentlemen, there is no need to be more polite."

His words were filled with extremely long energy, which sounded to everyone's ears like a strong wind and rain, with the feeling of raindrops on a rock.

Shangyang bowed to the court and said: "The superiors and inferiors are respected and inferior, and rituals and music control them. No one in the mountain dares to look at them?"

Hearing this, Xun Shaoyu nodded slightly. This Shangyang Dynasty had completely devoted himself to Nancai since the Danshui was frustrated. He was no longer an idle person.

With years of prestige, Yuanshen's tyrannical strength is proved.Shangyang Dynasty was like a fish in water among Xun Shaoyu and others.

Nowadays, it is located in the left carriage of Zhongfu. It is one of the three indispensable carriages of Nancai Doctor's Mansion.

"The most important thing is that this guy understands current affairs, knows how to advance and retreat, doesn't try to hold on to power, and knows how to gain and lose."

Xun Shaoyu's mind turned, and he became more and more satisfied with Shang Yangchao, the central government's left-hand man.

Three hundred miles south of Cai looks like a projectile.But there are also differences between superior and inferior, as well as master and subordinate.

Just like a small prince, in addition to being bound by the jurisdiction of Lu State, the feudal officials were responsible for military service, taxation, attack, and conquest.

Since ancient times, the way of rulers and ministers has always been to be in harmony with each other, and to be in harmony with each other.

And those ministers who don't know how to advance or retreat, and who don't know the gains and losses, will inevitably be eliminated one by one.This is also the reason why ordinary loyal ministers may not be able to obtain good loyalty; but most of the country's sycophant ministers die at the end of their lives.

After all, there are too few staff members who know how to understand the king's thoughts and are also capable of practical work. It can be said that there is only one in a hundred.

"Where is the right car in Zhongfu?"

Xun Shaoyu looked around at the officials and asked.

The chariot on the right side of the Zhongfu is one of the three chariots in Tangyi and is in charge of three thousand soldiers in Tangyi.

A young staff member stepped forward and said sternly: "My lord... that Chang Yunguang, when he heard that your lord returned to the city, he avoided seeing him and regarded his authority as if it were nothing..."

Xun Shaoyu said gently, "Okay..."

"Those who are always cloudy and bright, have the talents of a general, and they are extraordinary talents! It is my great fortune to have the effect of cloud light, and it is the most important thing to believe in. It's just a few minor things, so don't need to be entangled."

Xun Shaoyu scolded him unhappily, which made many of Zhou Za's subordinates feel trembling and anxious.

The three horse-drawn carriages in Tangyi, in terms of their positions, are the left carriage of Zhongfu, Shangyangchao, the middle carriage of Zhongfu, Zhuyuxing, and the right carriage of Zhongfu, Chang Yunguang.

These three carriages can be said to control the military, political and internal affairs of Tangyi, and involve countless people from above and below.

"Here!"

The young man felt a chill in his heart and hurriedly kept silent.

Shangyang Chao said: "Chang Yun Youchao, he has been inspecting the border troops recently. I think there must be some changes in several other doctors."

Xun Shaoyu's demeanor was calm and intimidating. Although he meant little to reprimand, many people were frightened and could not help themselves.

At this time, only this central government official can appease the hearts of many officials.

Xun Shaoyu naturally understood what Shang Yangchao was thinking, so he didn't say much.Followed by a group of civil and military officials, he stepped into the city.

At this time, Tangyi was managed with great pains by Xun Shaoyu for three years.

Residential houses were built impressively, in a four-dimensional pattern of east, west, south and north, with the official residence in the center.

The houses with blue bricks and black tiles are like soldiers waiting in formation, arranged neatly horizontally and vertically, like square tofu blocks.

Looking at the common people on both sides of the street, Xun Shaoyu's eyes flashed.

"Today, Tang County has 4 households and an estimated population of about [-]."

"Unfortunately, Wunancai is located in a remote area, with three roads crisscrossing it on the east, west and north. It is not easy to attract people and develop."

Xun Shaoyu has great ambitions, but the prerequisite for all this is to have a basis that can realize his ambitions.

And this land of Fang Nancai was the beginning of realizing his ambition.

"If you really want to include refugees and open up wasteland for naturalization, those three people will be an absolute obstacle. They will not watch me, cannibalize the surrounding areas so smoothly, and then grow stronger."

"Perhaps, now they can no longer hold back!"

Xun Shaoyu looked to the north in the distance, and there seemed to be smoke rising.

…………

Beicai,

Handi!

The gorgeous official residence is full of graceful girls, Pingting has a beautiful figure, her soft waist is straight and round.

Xun Shaohe looked drunk, shaking his head as he looked at the singing and dancing in the hall that exuded a rotten atmosphere.

He wore a golden crown on his head, a black patterned robe, and a gold button and jade belt around his waist. His handsome face seemed to have a hint of sinisterness.

Xun Shaohe raised his head and raised his glass, and the wine in the glass spilled out one after another.

A jar of old wine was spilled on the ground without hesitation. From time to time, the aroma of wine rose and filled the lobby.

"Good wine... good wine..."

Xun Shaohe clapped his hands, with a hazy drunken look on his face, and even his steps were staggering.

"Gollum...gollum..."

He drank heavily, and the wine overflowed from the corner of his mouth and remained down the corner of his mouth.

A large amount of wine aroma, as if it were real, it makes people linger.

Xun Shaohe looked at the newly composed music and tasted it in small sips.

bump--

A delicate and beautiful maid was swinging her dress. Her feet became unsteady and she fell to the ground.

By an extremely coincidental coincidence, he kicked over a jar of fine wine placed next to Xun Shaohe.

The mud-sealed mouth of the jar immediately shattered, with several cracks of varying depths, and small streams of wine quickly overflowed all over the floor.

Looking at the clay altar where wine was still flowing, all the beautiful maids in the lobby opened their beautiful eyes wide, their mouths opened slightly, and their jade legs could not help but tremble.

Xun Shaohe has a arrogant and violent temperament, and he often hurts people's lives. When he was in Nanyang Yeting, his reputation was very bad because of this.

Now he is in charge of a city, and he can live and kill as he pleases. He has tens of thousands of people in his hands, and he can do whatever he wants without any scruples.

When you are happy, you kill someone to celebrate; when you are in a bad mood, you kill someone to vent your anger.

It can be described as a complete tyrant's attitude, which makes people have no second thoughts except fear.

puff--

The maidservant's face was full of panic, and she kept kowtowing. After a while, her head was bruised, but she did not dare to pause for a moment, for fear that her life would be in danger in Xun Shaohe's anger.

Of course, Xun Shaohe didn't bother to guess what this beautiful maid was thinking.

Xun Shaohe said lazily: "Come on..."

As the most prosperous place in Cai, Beiyi has a population that is ten times that of Nancai.

Therefore, the soldiers in the mansion are all extremely elite soldiers.

"exist,"

Four or five soldiers came in and said respectfully.

"Pull it down,"

Xun Shaohe said softly: "Let her know what she did wrong."

"Pull it down...and cut off her little nose so that she can have a long memory."

Xun Shaohe seemed unaware of such cruel words, with a smile on his face.Just leaning on the main seat makes one's scalp numb.

"Well,"

Ignoring the maid's cries, several soldiers carried the maid away.

After a while, I heard a shrill scream coming from a distance outside.

You can already imagine what happened to this beautiful maid!
Xun Shaohe smiled happily, with countless sarcasm mixed in his smile.

"Brother Shang Wei came uninvited, which is not the behavior of a gentleman. I don't know, why are you doing this?"

Suddenly, Xun Shaohe looked at the shadow beside him, his pupils stained with blood red.

"Hahaha... The person who came uninvited, my dear nephew, don't blame me... don't blame me..."

This is a young man, but the grace between his brows and the unruliness in his speech seem to be two extremes, which make people's heart throbbing.

"Xun Shangli!"

Xun Shaohe's eyes flashed. In this fiefdom of Cai, he was the only one who could call him "good nephew".

The youngest son of Grand Master Xun Taiyong, Xun Shangli, the official of Dongcai!

Only that one person could take advantage of him and still escape intact.

Xun Shangyi had a flamboyant appearance, and he was also a domineering and lawless lord.

With the great master Fu Xun Taiyong, this is just a mere thousand miles of Cai land, and Xun Shang is running rampant.

"Little uncle..."

Xun Shaohe shouted "kindly". If it weren't for the banging sound of his teeth, his expression might be really convincing.

"Be good... be good..."

Xun Shangyi crossed his arms and responded with satisfaction, without caring about Xun Shaohe's murderous eyes.

Xun Shaohe was also a flexible and flexible person, and he smiled to himself: "I don't know, my uncle is here, my Hanyi is really shining!"

Although Xun Shangyi is the same age as Xun Shaohe, his seniority is Xun Shaohe's uncle.

Moreover, he is also the parent and son of a great master, and the relationship between family and old is complicated and difficult to distinguish.Even a fool like Xun Shaohe didn't dare to underestimate him.

"As long as you know,"

Xun Shangyi laughed: "This is what you said. As long as you don't kick me out, I, a doctor from Dongcai, will have no choice but to accept it shamelessly."

This Xun Shangli was also the young master of Cai District. He was able to smooth the internal and external relations in Cai District, and his influence cannot be ignored.

Xun Shaohe's smile froze and he said, "Young uncle, I'm sure he's not just here to reminisce with me!"

Xun Shangyi laughed: "Clever!"

"I came here just to talk to you...about this boy Xun Shaoyu..."

When talking about Xun Shaoyu, Xun Shangyu deliberately paused for a moment.Seeing Xun Shaohe's suddenly changed expression, he was amazed.

"It's him?"

Xun Shaohe frowned, a hint of impatience flashed across his brows.

"Could it be that the boy couldn't stand it and wanted to find his uncle as a lobbyist to ask me to let him go?"

Don't look at the military prosperity of Nancai, Xun Shaoyu is not what he used to be, and his power is getting stronger day by day.

But the land of Beicai straddles the border of Lu State and faces Nancai for three hundred miles.

Its geographical location just blocked the road from Nancai to Lu State.The domestic contact with Lu State was gradually reduced, which made Xun Shaoyu unable to recruit people.Sometimes Xun Shaohe would even take the opportunity to rob and kill some people who were exiled in Cai.

It can be said that the corner of Beicai this time can be said to have contained the chokepoint of Nancai, making it impossible for Nancai to advance or retreat.

"My nephew has misunderstood... You have really wronged me."

Xun Shangyi smiled and said: "I am not here to be a lobbyist."

"We are self-aware and will not interfere in the conflict of interests between you, and we dare not get involved. Who knows if there are any informants from Marquis Wen around here who might alert others."

Xun Shaohe's smile grew colder and he said, "What kind of person is your father? How could he keep his eyes on this waste?"

The two exchanged verbal quarrels with each other and tested their respective bottom lines before gradually calming down their tempers.

For a long time, Xun Shaohe frowned, looked at this little uncle, and sighed.

"It seems that my uncle has a big plan and is planning to look at the entire Cai Land!"

"Isn't that the same for you? The position of a Beicai doctor cannot satisfy your ambition, right?"

The words between the two are self-evident, representing their respective ambitions.

"Xun Shaoyu's Tangyi is too eye-catching. In recent years, there has been a lot of slaughter of barbarians, which is worthy of vigilance."

"He is training troops, gathering people, and building troops. Aren't they all the final preparations for unifying the Cai region?"

Xun Shaohe said calmly: "If you show off in the forest, you will destroy yourself! Since he has this intention, he must be prepared to pay the price if he comes to be the leader."

"It's better that you and I join forces to carve up Nancai's base and send him directly back to Yeting."

The corner of Xun Shangyu's lips curled up. If they truly united, they would undoubtedly break Cai Di's years of mediocrity.

How could Nan Cai be defeated in one fell swoop without experiencing a massive bloodshed and massacre.

"However, we can also turn our army around and defeat Nan Cai first, and then overwhelm Xicai."

"Kick these two competitors aside, and you and I will divide Cai Di's resources. With Cai Di's great luck, you and I may not be able to break through the barriers."

"Then we'll decide the winner!"
