40. Love the cool sea
After becoming the chief commander, it would not be appropriate to live in the military camp. Bo Lai decided to build a house for Princess Yichun at the fairy lake at the foot of Fairy Mountain 180 miles northwest of Little Chang'an. Yang Hao asked him which place is suitable for construction. Bo Lai knew it in advance and immediately accompanied the chief commander to a small hill at the foot of Fairy Mountain. It was about one mile away from Fairy Lake. The terrain was high in the north and south, and it was backed by the western peak of Fairy Mountain. It was surrounded by mountains and waters, and the winding paths were in secluded. About three miles from Fairy Mountain Town and about seven miles from the Xining Army Central Station. There were two ready-made paths. With a little transformation, you can open the bus. W w W W W W .

Zhuxi flows out from the western peak of Fairy Mountain. Because the underground springs in the desert are rich, its water is not small, and because it is groundwater, the water is cold and cold. Fairy Mountain Town once flourished when Yang Hao was in charge of Fengzhou. Its household registration reached 7,000 households and many famous cities and prefectures. There are dozens of villages of all sizes distributed on both sides of the Yellow River to the north. The river flows continuously and is prosperous like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. However, since Yang Hao's defeat and Xiao Mingyue came to power, Fengzhou has gradually declined. Fairy Mountain Town was almost deserted, and only those villages were left with empty names. After the villages fell, it returned to its former tranquility.
Yang Hao was determined to re-activate Ji Hongtu as the municipal envoy of Xiannvshan Town and restore industry and commerce. At the same time, he also accepted Bo Lai's painstaking efforts, which made him calmly build a mansion. Bo Lai understood his thoughts, and the commander tasted the pleasure of offering treasures and was ready to use the same trick again.
Li Qing still knew that Yang Hao was building a private house outside for her. She immediately turned her face and ruthlessly announced that she had broken off diplomatic relations with Yang Hao, and vowed not to see him again in this life. In fact, since she was coaxed by Yang Hao into the car that day and went around Xiao Chang'an with him in a confused manner, the relationship between the two became subtle: one suddenly disappeared without a word and never came to visit again; the other locked herself in the tent all day long, complaining about herself, feeling sad, and refusing to see anyone again.
After two days of cold war, in order to completely cut off some people's thoughts, she ruthlessly gave the Huayiwei a death order: No one should be approached by her bedroom, and any offenders should be killed. In order to avoid causing trouble, Jin Taoyin and Tang Yu discussed in private and found Dongfang Lan together and told him Li Qing's order, asking him to persuade Yang Hao not to force him too much.
Dongfang Lan agreed, and he knew in his heart that Princess Yichun came to invite her these days, and the Grand Marshal had no time to go. In order to march into Xia Sui, the Grand Marshal was so busy that he couldn't sleep day and night, so how could he have time to care about her? Although Dongfang Lan was young and unkind, he was a smart person after all. Since Jin Taoyin and Tang Yu learned from Jin Taoyin that Li Qing was angry with Yang Hao and fought a cold war, he kept his mind. He went to Princess Yichun's tent to greet him three times a day, morning, midnight, and evening, in the name of Yang Hao.
Because of the obstruction of the Huayiwei, he never dared to approach the tent, nor did he have the chance to finish his greetings. He always put down the tea and fruit spots he brought with him in awe of Li Qing's roar, and then ran away in shame.
After a month, Dongfang Lan brought another tea and food one day. When she saw Jin Taoyin and Tang Yu sisters guarding outside the tent, she nodded to them and signaled that she had something to say.
Dongfang Lan was respectful and careful these days, and both of them had a good impression of him. They thought he was going to pass on Yang Hao's words, so they walked up to ask. Unexpectedly, as soon as they approached Dongfang Lan, ten elite guards suddenly rushed out from all directions, and swords and guns were used, forcing Jin Taoyin and Tang Yu sisters. Dongfang Lan bowed and apologized, saying, "The commander wants to see the princess, please do it for convenience, two people." After saying that, he offended them, and then put down the weapons of the two and took them down with the guards.
Jin Taoyin and Tang Yu did not resist at all. Yang Hao asked Dongfang Lan to guard the door of the tent and went in alone. No one knew what the two talked in the tent, but soon he heard Li Qing screaming at the top of his throat. Then she cried and made a fuss. There was a burst of noise. The guards suspected that the two had started to use their swords and asked Dongfang Lan whether to go in and interfere. Dongfang Lan did not say anything. Before entering the tent, the commander repeatedly told him that even if the tent was on fire, no one was allowed to approach. How dare he act rashly?
I kept tossing until the second half of the night, the sound in the tent fell. Except for the occasional sob, everything was silent in the tent at dawn, and even the candles were gone.
Jin Taoyin and Tang Yu knelt until the sun was noon. Yang Hao came out of the tent. Seeing that the two were still kneeling there, they rushed forward and helped them up. Because they had been kneeling for too long, they were both unsteady. Yang Hao scolded Dongfang Lan, who was standing aside, to help support him. Dongfang Lan clumsyly dragged Jin Taoyin and pushed it away by her. She and Tang Yu knelt down to Yang Hao and said, "The princess was lonely since childhood, and she has suffered many misfortunes since she grew up. The general is as broad as the sea. Should we abandon the old evil and treat her sincerely, we will live up to the princess's concerns over the years."
Yang Hao said: "The two girls are both kind and kind people. How dare I not listen to your words? Although Yang is not talented, he dare not be a heartless person who will abandon him all the time. If Princess Meng does not abandon her, Yang will protect her for the rest of her life."
When the two heard this, tears rush out, and they hugged each other and cried.
In Dongfang Lan's eyes, she couldn't help but think that she was a princess and seemed to be incredible. However, several people knew her miserable fate and her almost dead state of mind.
Before the first heavy snowfall of the year, Li Qing's mansion was finally completed, named "Fairy Mountain Villa". The name was taken by Yang Hao. When Li Qing heard this, she sneered and said with disdain: "I am not a fairy, I can't afford to live in your villa." Bo Lai hurriedly rescued and said, "Fairy Mountain is a place name, which is called by the local natives. The princess's house is the ruler. What is the mountain and what is the water called? Naturally, the princess will decide for herself. The princess will not dare to do it for herself."
Li Qing squinted Yang Hao and said, "This is almost the same." He asked Bo Lai, "You're Bo Lai?" Bo Lai replied, "Yes." Li Qing said, "You're not bad, follow me in the future." Bo Lai looked at Yang Hao and said, "It's a honor to be able to serve the princess and be with the right position." Li Qing said, "Oh, I forgot to ask, I don't know if Marshal Yang is willing to do it." Bo Lai said, "Master is sincere and sincere, and he will never agree." Li Qing smiled slightly and stopped talking. She walked along the mountain path with her hands behind her back. Bo Lai and the guards of Jianpu Camp followed closely behind her, following her step by step.
The western peak of Fairy Mountain is now changed to "Youyang Mountain" by Li Qing, Zhuxi is changed to "Qingliang River", Fairy Lake is changed to "Qingliang Sea", and Fairy Mountain Villa is changed to "Qingliang Villa". This is a place with mountains and water, trees and grasslands. The mountains of Youyang Mountain are not high, the mountains are round, and the surrounding trees are lush. Qingliang River breaks the Daowan in the place where it will flow into the Qingliang Sea. Bo Lai takes advantage of the situation and fills a white beach here, builds several wooden houses for summer swimming and summer vacation.
This villa is located at the foot of Mount Yiyang, five in and five out, hidden in a lush forest. From the outside, this villa is nothing surprising, or even a bit simple, but it is hidden in the universe. From the third courtyard, its decoration is no less luxurious than any family in the huge city thirty miles away.
Yang Hao had seen it and was very satisfied. Li Qing also fell in love with this place from the beginning, but she refused to admit it. She picked up the bones in the eggs and found a lot of problems. Bo Lai followed behind with the clerk and recorded every unsatisfactory place for subsequent modification. In the end, she really couldn't find any problems, so she blamed Yang Hao for being too extravagant and spending money randomly, saying that the people in the northwest were in a difficult situation and the soldiers had no place to go for winter clothes. You spent so much money to build a different courtyard for me. Is this filial piety to me or harm me? And the stream outside the courtyard wall, what's the name of Qingliang River? It's winter now, do you want to freeze me to death? Yang Hao really wanted to remind her that the name Qingliang River was chosen by you yourself, what does it have to do with me?
Fortunately, whether it is picking bones in eggs or picking eggs in bones, it seems that Li Qing is satisfied with what Yang Hao did for her and is grateful. The innocent brilliance shining in her eyes, and her whole body is rejuvenated. She back with her hands behind her back, patrolling her new home arrogantly, full of vitality.
Yang Hao felt that his hardship was not in vain.
At dusk, the somewhat tired Princess Yichun finally announced that she had become the owner of this new house. The flower guards who had followed her for many years immediately cheered. Jin Taoyin happily commanded the soldiers and servants to carry the cages. Bo Lai, the new butler of the villa, led Tang Yu, the new commander of Jianpu Camp, to be familiar with his proud work.
Yang Hao nodded to Li Qing and signaled to walk along the river together. The sun set and her excitement passed. At this moment, people seemed lazy and a little absent-minded. They walked side by side along the Qingliang River, and they couldn't find what they wanted to say. Li Qing looked at the cool blue sea in the distance from time to time, and her eyes showed a kind of distant and deep tranquility.
"I think I'll move the Xining Army Camp to Fairy Town recently."
"For me?" Li Qing's eyes suddenly turned red, and she said with a calm smile. After that, tears couldn't help but flow. Yang Hao hurriedly took out his handkerchief and wanted to wipe it for her. Li Qing kidnapped him and said, "Return your face and don't be allowed to look."
"What?" Yang Hao asked with a smile. He suddenly realized that his behavior was too cramped, so he quickly turned around and gestured in the air with his hands and said, "It seems that this is still too empty, so let's get something to put it on."
Li Qing hurriedly wiped away her tears and echoed: "Yes, it's really too empty. I want..." She looked at the river beach and tried hard to pull her thoughts back to her eyes. "Here..." She ran to the edge of the beach and pointed at her feet and said: "Build a pavilion here, yes, it's not appropriate... Then, here, here, here, there, build a pavilion, and also a swing. By the way, a rocking chair has to be used to bask in the sun. Will there be fish in the river? Then build a fishing table."
"Good idea, well, I think I'll have to pull the wall." Yang Hao nodded in agreement.
"What do you want to do in the wall?" Li Qing asked in surprise.
“Anti-theft.”
"There are still people who dare to come to your house to steal?" she laughed.
"Of course no one dares to do so. The grassland people will revenge. He doesn't want to live anymore. But it's hard to say that the princess's family is stolen. Didn't the Lanling princess's family be stolen?"
"But, this is your house."
"You have declared it's mistress."
With eyes facing each other, she lost in panic, and then she said in a vague voice that she couldn't hear clearly: "No, I can't."
Yang Hao held her hand tightly and said, "Since we met, we have always had each other in our hearts, right?"
Li Qing looked at him in a panic, avoided him, and did not dare to look directly at him.
"A lover finally gets married, God will do it, so we... don't bother, okay?"
This time Li Qing did not hide. She looked at Yang Hao's eyes bravely and nodded calmly.
...
On the third day after Li Qing moved to Qingliang Villa, Yang Hao officially set up the Xining Army camp at Xianniao Mountain. He arranged troops from all sides in the middle and acted as a large-scale invasion of the south.
In less than half a year, Hexi, Mobei, Shuofang, and cities fell into their hands one after another. The method of seizing them was the same. They first drove the Uighurs, Shatu, and Turkic refugees into the city, and then the refugees caused chaos in the city, and then they captured the city in the name of helping to suppress the rebellion. The defenders gradually learned their lessons. When they saw the Uighurs, Shatu, and Turkic defeated soldiers and refugees coming, they refused to open the city again.
However, at this time, Yang Hao was already full of wings. Zheng Huatai and Liu Pan became famous siege experts. They first used their superior cavalry to detour in depth, forcing the cities to close the gates and fight on their own, differentiate and isolated the prefectures and counties, and then concentrated twenty times the troops to capture a city. There is a reason to break the enemy's front. When the army was approaching, the military advisor's office was not idle. The gold, silver and jewelry obtained from the Uighur royal court flowed to the Shence Army generals who controlled the elite troops like a flood, so that they ignored the miscellaneous troops that did not belong to their system and allowed them to be eaten by the Khitan bandits.
The result of the battle was getting bigger and bigger, but Yang Hao was becoming less and less confident. After Liu Pan attacked Youzhou and Yulin County, he asked him to continue to go south. He took advantage of the unpreparedness of the Shen Ce Army to capture Xiazhou, Yinzhou, and Suizhou, and then went south to Bining and Fufang, and rushed to Jingzhao Mansion. He returned to Xianniao Mountain with confidence to ask Yang Hao for battle, boasting that as long as he gave an order, he would win three towns of Jiuzhou within a month. After swallowing Jiuzhou in one mouthful, the men of Shen Ce Army might still be in the dream of Yunli.
Zhang Bozhong asked him how you planned to defend if you conquer Jiuzhou. Liu Pan said to defend a bird, and after taking the baby's jade, we lift our legs and leave. After saying this, he suddenly widened his eyes and asked, "Military advisor, don't tell me that we want to make a big one and fight to Chang'an in one breath."
Thinking of Chang'an, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but feel excited and said, "It's actually not difficult to capture Chang'an. As long as someone helps me protect the east and west wings, I will definitely take Chang'an before the snow melts. At that time, the commander went to the Daming Palace to be the emperor. We are the founding fathers and marquises and worship each other for generations."
When he said this, Liu Pan smiled and smiled. After saying that, he suddenly lost confidence. Is Chang'an so easy to fight? Hundreds of thousands of troops of the Sixth Army and Twelve Guards stood there, not to mention fighting, standing there for you to chop one by one, you have to run away and get tired of your hands. Yes, at this moment, there are indeed 40,000 people under his command, well-equipped and high morale. On the grassland in the north of the desert, he is invincible.
But being able to dominate the desert may not necessarily be able to dominate the Guanzhong. Although many cities have been captured these days, Liu Pan also knew in his heart that those cities were dilapidated, with walls not high, and pools not deep. The two were garrisoned with thin troops, with only three or five thousand more, with only a few hundred people fewer. The three were not as difficult as food and equipment and lacked weapons. Even so, the difficulty of siege was far beyond his imagination. The cities of Binning and Fufang were not like the earthen castles and stone cities on the grassland. They were all miniature versions of the Dashi City. The walls were high and thick, and the city was widely stored. The soldiers guarding the city were familiar with the way of attacking and defense. One person was the pass, and ten men could not open it. How easy was to capture such a city? By chewing these heavy-handed cities, they were afraid that they would not even have the energy to eat.
Liu Pan, who was thick on the outside and detailed on the inside, calculated that if he wanted to attack a big city like Xiazhou and Yinzhou, the offense and defense ratio was mostly 10 to 1. One person defended the city, ten people had to be sure to attack. This had to be without foreign aid. Think about the heroic cities in the north of Chang'an and the land of Guanzhong. Liu Pan's heroic spirit was instantly extinguished. He thought privately that even if he attacked the city of Chang'an in one breath, he thought about the tens of thousands of officials, tens of thousands of royal families, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, and millions of people. How could he control it?
It is a taboo for military strategists to stop the troops under the strong city. Liu Pan still knows these.
Therefore, when Zhang Bozhong asked him how to attack Chang'an City, Liu Pan laughed and said, "It will definitely not work for me. At least we have to let Dazhier and Brother Zheng go together to siege us. Otherwise, we are afraid that we will not be able to beat him."
When Zhang Bozhong heard this, he shouted: "It's good that you know. If you want to think about such unrealistic thoughts, don't even think about it in the future. The Tang Dynasty has been prosperous for more than a hundred years, and even if it is not as good as it used to be, it is not something we can shake."
Liu Pan smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes, the lesson of the military advisor is. But now the morale is strong. If there is no war, wouldn't it be a suffocating person? It wouldn't be a good deal."
Zhang Bozhong said: "Who said there was no war? Aren't you going to fight Jiuzhou?"
Liu Pan was confused when he heard this, stared at Zhang Bozhong with his cow eyes, then looked at Yang Hao, and asked carefully: "Has the commander agreed to attack Jiuzhou?"
Yang Hao said: "Of course, Jiuzhou needs to be beaten. There is no reason not to eat the meat that comes to your mouth. You should prepare immediately after you go back. The military advisor and I will go south soon. We will be careful at that time."
Liu asked: "The three armies have already been prepared, but I don't know if I will take action after the commander and the military advisor go south, or if I will take action after returning to the camp?"
Yang Hao said: "Soldiers are the most important gods. If you want to fight, you must seize the opportunity. You should act according to the opportunity."
Liu Pandao said yes, just as he was about to withdraw, Yang Hao called him back and said, "I have discussed with the military advisor. I will give you a military officer who is familiar with Guanzhong's geography and folk customs. Don't bully him at a young age. His ability is not inferior to that of the military advisor. You should respect him well and you will have your own benefits." Liu Pan smiled and said, "I am just worried about this matter. Thank you for your concern." He went back to beat Liu Pan.
Zhang Bozhong said: "When will the Grand Marshal set off?"
Yang Hao sighed, "I'll go two days later, you and the one-eyed dragon will set off tomorrow."
Zhang Bozhong said: "Will we go here to make a big fuss or go south secretly?"
Yang Hao thought for a moment and smiled, "I'll do the things that go across the street."
