Although Bai Yu's eyes were hurt from reading, it was only because he held the book at a higher height than ordinary people. This little celestial master of Mount Longhu was recognized as being able to read ten lines at a glance and remember everything he saw. Therefore, he browsed through the memorial very quickly. He turned around and handed the memorial to Li Gongde. He was the first to break the silence and said with a smile, "Kou Jiangjun's handwriting is not bad."
Then there was nothing else to say.
Yang Shenxing suddenly smiled bitterly. He thought that Bai Yu, who had a high status in Beiliang, could help him and the prince break the deadlock. He didn't expect him to be so shameless.
The Administrator took the memorial as if it were a hot potato. After a cursory glance, he wanted to say that Chen Bieyi's handwriting was actually not bad, but after a moment of hesitation, he decided to simply keep silent. He handed the memorial back to Li Yanchao behind him. Li Yanchao was the new Deputy Commander of the Right Cavalry, who was known as the Four Fangs of Northern Liang along with Ning Emei, Dian Xiongchao, and Wei Fucheng. Li Yanchao's "betrayal" of He Zhong's Left Cavalry and his action of joining the Brocade Partridge Zhou Kang's command had caused a stir in the Liangzhou Border Army not long ago. After Li Yanchao roughly read it, he didn't beat around the bush like Bai Yu and Li Gongde, the two leaders of Beiliang. He looked up and said directly to the young prince standing behind the desk, "I think that General Xie's action is not only not against the military law, but also excusable!"
After seeing the new prince nod, Li Yanchao continued in a clear voice, "Provincial Governor Yang suspects that General Xie does not want to lose the monk soldiers of Mount Lantuo. However, I think everyone in the room knows the extent of the Battle of Miyun. What about the casualties of Cao Wei's 10,000 elite cavalry? What about the casualties of Xie Xibian's cavalry?! I don't know Xie Xibian, and I have never even met him. However, I think I know a little about how to use troops. That is, Xie Xibian will haggle over every detail on any battlefield that he is in charge of. In this attack and defense of the Phoenix Legion town, if the monk soldiers of Mount Lantuo had participated in the defense early and didn't deliberately show flaws, allowing the Beimang barbarians to attack the city many times, how could the 10,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry stay outside the city for two days and one night? If not for that, how would Cao Wei's cavalry be able to stop Beimang's remaining troops in time? In my eyes, General Fengxiang has done well in defending the city, and it is reasonable for Xie Xi Bian to be impeached for his fallen comrades. However, General Xie has done even more meritorious deeds! "
Li Yanchao handed the booklet to a lieutenant behind him, then he cupped his fists at the young lord and said in a deep voice, "If General Xie comes to North Rejecting City in the future, I, Li Yanchao, would like to lead your horse for you!"
As the Deputy Commander of the Beiliang Frontier Army, he was willing to lead a horse for someone else. This was almost the highest praise he could give to the person who got off the horse.
Butcher Xu Xiao had only led a horse for someone else twice in his life. This time, it was for the old soldier of the Lotus Seed Camp, Lin Doufang, who was still alive.
The other time was for someone who had died in battle. He was leading the horse back to the camp for the corpse on the horse's back.
Xu Huang, who had a beautiful beard, frowned and asked, "Wangye, did General Xie come to this North Resisting City with a memorial to explain himself? We shouldn't just listen to one side of the story. "
Hsu Fengnian shook his head and said, "There was a memorial, but it wasn't about the matter of Fengxiang defending the city. It only explained why he didn't let the ten thousand monk soldiers in the military town defend the town to the death, and why he didn't stop the seven thousand infantry soldiers who returned without any success."
Regarding the fact that the monk soldiers of Mount Lantuo of the Lin Yao Army did not take the initiative to leave the city, this was indeed a strange matter. North Resisting City was surprised. Since the facts proved that Xie Xibian had predicted the enemy's moves, then with Xie Xibian's decisiveness on the battlefield, he should have let the female Bodhisattva of Mount Lantuo lead the army out of the city. With the speed of Cao Wei's cavalry that had shocked Liang Mang, they should have been able to stop the infantry soldiers at the southeast border of Gu Sai Zhou. However, Xie Xibian missed out on this easily obtained military merit. In reality, as long as this Deputy Commander of Liuzhou could wipe out the twenty thousand infantry soldiers and six thousand cavalry of the Southern Dynasty's border army, and bring a perfect end to most of the western battlefield outside of Qing Cang, then even with this impeachment memorial, North Resisting City would not be so hesitant. Since Beiliang established itself as a vassal through martial arts, in the end, military merit still counted.
Yang Shenxing asked curiously, "Wangye, how did General Xie explain himself in the memorial?"
Hsu Fengnian said calmly, "Xie Xi said that the battle in the west of Liu Zhou had already been settled. Beimang only left a few thousand foot soldiers and horses, so it would not affect the overall situation. However, the area north of Qing Cang City in Liu Zhou is the main battlefield against the Pu Tribe of Huang Song. Whether he has fifteen thousand Laotuo Mountain soldiers or only ten thousand monk soldiers to reinforce Qing Cang City, the difference of five thousand is like the difference between heaven and earth. "
Xu Huang, who was well versed in military matters, was silent for a moment. He sighed and said, "I am also willing to lead General Xie's horse!"
Xu Fengnian suddenly smiled, "Thank you for the two unbelievable victories at the western border. In the second battle, Kou Jianghuai even reduced the hundreds of thousands of cavalry in the Pu Tribe of the Yellow Song Dynasty to the level of infantry. The situation at Liuzhou is already clear. Next, it will be up to us outside the Liangzhou Pass!"
Then Hsu Fengnian sat on the chair that originally belonged to Yang Shenxing. He spread out a piece of paper and before he started writing, he raised his head and said to everyone, "I will write a letter to explain to the general of the Flying Phoenix Division. Everyone, I will have to trouble you with Jue Bei City and the area north of Jue Bei City."
Everyone in the room felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders.
Li Gongde turned around and stepped over the threshold. He smiled at the city magistrate beside him and said, "Our wangye's handwriting is really good. It is full of vigor and spirit …"
Xu Huang also smiled and said, "We are so far away. Aren't you afraid that the wangye won't be able to hear you?"
Li Gongde lowered his voice, "The wangye is a grandmaster in martial arts."
Xu Huang gave him a thumbs up, "Admirable!"
Hsu Fengnian, who was thinking about the wording of the letter, did not know whether to laugh or cry.
At this moment, the spy from the Fu Shui Division led a woman to the door. The woman was wearing a curtained hat.
Then, the two stopped in their tracks. Even though this small house was worthy of being Beiliang's most important place, the spy still felt that it was inappropriate to introduce the woman's identity.
Hsu Fengnian stopped writing and looked up.
The spy did not make a sound. He only moved his lips cautiously.
East Peak.
Hsu Fengnian stood up in shock.
