Chapter 3 Wuyi (Part 2) For the past few days, the same problem has been plaguing General Xuzi. It was inevitable that he would die before the battle. Since the first day he joined the army, he had been prepared to lie down drunk on the battlefield, but he could not accept that Zhang Xutuo was killed.
The bandits died of exhaustion, and then the owl was displayed to the public. The old man once led by example and pointed out a path for him at the most confusing moment in his life. "The duty of a military commander is to protect!" For more than three years, it was this belief that supported him and made him
He raised his head in shock and despair again and again, and continued to realize the warmth and coldness of his own life. But now, he found that there was no warmth at the end of the road, everything he guarded would eventually be destroyed, and what was waiting for him would be the same as Zhang Xutuo
life ending
He once tried to vent his depression by killing, but in the end he found that killing would only make the feeling on people's shoulders heavier. He once thought about giving up and closing his eyes, but he couldn't face his conscience. After several struggles, he
I found that all I can do is to continue moving forward in confusion, even if there is no light in the future
If Yuan Tiangang had come half a month earlier, perhaps his words just now would have made Xu Zi stop resolutely. According to the suggestions of Zhao Ziming and others, he should first take care of the one-third of an acre of land under his control, and then move on to other matters. Now, related issues
Xuzi has already been troubled. Although he has not understood it for a while, the trouble is still there and the persistence is still the same.
"I crossed the river and went south not just for revenge!" After a moment of surprise, Li Xu shook his head, his tone unexpectedly calm.
"Not just for revenge? Then why did the general lead the tiger and wolf army south?" Yuan Tiangang saw that his warning only had the effect of causing a slight hesitation on Li Xu's face. He was surprised in his heart and then laughed softly.
His white beard trembled slightly, and the corners of his mouth curved into a meaningful half arc.
"First of all, I want to go to Licheng to pay homage to General Zhang's coffin!" Li Xu thought for a while and decided to answer in chronological order. He was not afraid of Yuan Tiangang leaking any secrets. In fact, as soon as the Boling Army crossed the Yellow River, the final destination would be
It is already clear that if Xu Maogong's caution is exposed, he will not have informants behind the Wagang Army at this moment and let Wagang Village know about the arrival of the Boling Army one day earlier, which will force the bandits to send the troops sent to Liyang, Hebei.
If the troops and horses are mobilized back to the south of the Yellow River as soon as possible, and the strength of the four troops of Yang Yichen, Wei Ji, Yang Shanhui and Guo Xuan is gathered, the army can easily uproot the Hebei bandits who have suffered heavy setbacks and have lost strong support and return them to the plains.
Bohai Qinghe and other counties are peaceful
"After paying homage to General Zhang, I will confirm whether the rumor that the imperial court has appointed me as the Henan Road arrest envoy but the imperial edict was blocked on the south bank of the Yellow River is true." Li Xu paused and looked at Yuan Tiangang's surprise.
He continued to introduce with his eyes, "If this rumor is true, I will lead the army to Dongping, integrate all the troops and horses, and fulfill the duties of a military general!"
"What are the responsibilities of a military commander?" Yuan Tiangang unknowingly put away his confident smile and asked in a tone of asking for advice. Before coming, he had expected that Li Xu could not be dissuaded with just a few words. Now, he found that this person in front of him
A legendary general not only has a strong will, but also has a believer-like persistence in his philosophy of life.
As a member of the Taoist sect, Yuan Tiangang understands the importance of belief in life. In fact, it is a certain belief that supports him to travel tirelessly in a troubled world.
Joining the world is also a kind of practice. Every practitioner has his own path in his heart. He has different ways of seeking truth, but he is still irreversible.
"Old General Zhang once taught me that a general's duty is to protect!" Li Xu took a sip of tea and answered in an extremely firm voice.
"Guard?" Yuan Tiangang's body stiffened, and he was stunned on the spot. He saw that the arms of Mrs. Li, who was sitting on the side serving tea for him and Li Xu, were trembling slightly. Half of the tea in the pot had been poured into the pot.
on the ground, but he himself was completely unaware of it
"Yes, protect!" Li Xu quickly stood up, walked to his absent-minded wife, and took the teapot from her hand. "You go and rest for a while first, don't tire yourself!" Regardless of the guests in front of him, he said as gently as possible
He ordered Erya and then turned back to his seat, refilling the tea bowls of the host and guest one after another, "You are not talented, I have wasted the Taoist priest's advice to this Dongjun group. I must go there. Even if there is no relevant imperial edict, Li
Never forget the responsibilities on your shoulders!"
"It's okay!" Yuan Tiangang quickly adjusted his mentality from the shock and replied with a smile, "Pindao didn't expect to persuade the general to tell the truth with just a few words. Pindao has met countless heroes over the years. Someone with such ambition as the general is still
First time seeing it!”
"I'm sorry, little girl, Taoist Priest, please help yourself!" Shi Lan also slowly collected her confused thoughts and bowed to Yuan Tiangang. She had reminded her husband more than once, openly and secretly, of what Yuan Tiangang had just said.
But a few days later, she suddenly realized that she didn't fully understand her husband. "He is no longer the young boy who was always at a loss. I still underestimated him. In this regard, I am far inferior to Zhe'er."
..." With many worries on her mind, before going out, Erya tripped her feet on her own clothes, but she quickly held on to the door frame, turned around and gave Li Xu a sweet smile, and then left quickly.
"It's not really an ambition!" Li Xu smiled as he watched Erya leave, and continued to communicate with Yuan Tiangang: "Old General Zhang Xutuo once gave away all his life's earnings to others. Since I have inherited his mantle, I will
Don’t forget his wish!”
"But you can save a temporary emergency, but you can't save it for a long time!" Yuan Tiangang slowly walked back to his seat, observing the expression on Li Xu's face while drinking tea. The purpose of coming to the army was not entirely to resolve Li Xu's problem.
As a practitioner, entering the world is a necessary step in the process of enlightenment. Only through communication with different people and observation of the common people in the world can we better understand the meaning of the scriptures passed down by the Taoist teachers.
"It's better to be saved for a while than to let it go!" Li Xu shook his head and picked up the tea bowl next to him.
"General, don't you believe that the Great Sui Dynasty has been exhausted?" Yuan Tiangang sighed softly and asked.
"I would like to ask Taoist Master, what is Qi Shu?" Li Xu nodded, then shook his head and asked.
"When grass and trees wither and flourish, when the world is in chaos and chaos, it's a matter of luck! The way of heaven is like this, and it cannot be stopped by human power!" Yuan Tiangang pondered for a moment and answered.
If Li Xu, in addition to avenging Zhang Xutuo, also has the idea of buying people's hearts or showing strength, then this person can become the object of his continued observation. Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, whether it is Buddhism introduced from the Western Regions or native
Taoists in the Central Plains are always looking for the strong in troubled times. Only by standing with the strong can their doctrines be fully supported by the government in the peaceful era, and the entire sect will have the opportunity to flourish in the future.
"I dare to ask, sir, what is the reason why the Great Sui Dynasty turned from rule to chaos?" Li Xu put down the tea cup and asked in a soft and serious voice.
"The emperor has no virtue, and all the officials have no plans, alas!" Yuan Tiangang sighed again. Today's lobbying has failed, but it is not very complete. As long as the other party admits that troubled times have arrived, the two sides can find other opportunities to continue the discussion.
In Yuan Tiangang's mind, there are at least seven or eight plans that can make Li Xu realize that saving the fate of the Sui Dynasty is beyond human power. If the other party continues to stick to outdated beliefs, sooner or later he will end up like Zhang Xutuo.
"Then why do millions or tens of millions of ordinary people have to bear the consequences for the mistakes made by dozens or hundreds of people?" Li Xu shook his head, sneered and stood up again, his voice suddenly became louder, "If this
It's the way of heaven, and it's so unfair. It doesn't have the ability to punish those who make mistakes, but it drags all the people in the world to bury them with them. If this rule was set by someone, the god who set this rule must have been deceived by lard.
, I don’t even know the right and wrong, but countless people sacrifice their lives to show the so-called skills, this kind of rule, this kind of god, you don’t have to believe it!”
A powerful coercion suddenly enveloped Yuan Tiangang's whole body, and in an instant he was so overwhelmed that he could hardly breathe. This was the murderous aura accumulated in a life of nine deaths on the battlefield, and it was far beyond what the Taoist heart that had been enlightened by chanting scriptures for decades could resist for a while.
"The general has misunderstood. This is not Pindao's original intention. Pindao just thinks that the Sui Dynasty has reached this stage completely."
It is entirely your own fault." Yuan Tiangang shook his head repeatedly and murmured, "The way of heaven is a fair rule, and there is no time limit. If the emperors and ministers of the Sui Dynasty could always cherish the people, there would be no chaos. Once it violates the way of heaven, all heroes will rise up.
…….”
"Are all the heroes doing it to witness the way of heaven?" Li Xu continued to sneer, "I didn't see it. I only saw them burning and killing people everywhere under the pretext of acting for heaven, turning fertile fields into wilderness and villages into ruins. They
Each one sounds better than the other, but what they do is only destruction, never construction! If the Taoist Taoist’s way of heaven needs to be witnessed in this way, I’m sorry, but I also want to say that the god who set the way of heaven must be a madman! If
He dares to stand in front of me, and I dare to draw my sword to deal with him!"
These are views that Li Xuping has never quite understood. They have always been hidden deep in his heart. They are chaotic and disorderly. He cannot express them in just a few words. Today, he was aroused by Yuan Tiangang's words. Instead, they burst out without any trace.
After shouting all the obstructive words, I felt a lot more relaxed in my heart, and the depressing feeling on my head was immediately relieved a lot.
"Your Excellency, I didn't expect that General Li was not only a great leader in fighting, but also a sharp talker!" Yuan Tiangang had sweat on his forehead, and his face was livid, praising that his words were not speculative, but he could already clearly understand what the other party was thinking.
There are many ideas that he has never heard of from other heroes, and they may not be correct, but they are shocking. "I want to enlighten you first. It seems that I would like to thank you for your enlightenment!" (Let's watch the Chinese website together!)
Exclusive purchase, please do not reprint without permission) "Don't dare, I just told the truth!" After Li Xu vomited out the frustration in his heart, his tone of voice turned calm again.
"Then what are General Li's plans in the future? Will he continue to protect him like this? Or should he wait for the opportunity to end the whole troubled world?" Yuan Tiangang thought for a while and asked with a somewhat expectant expression.
"I don't know!" Li Xu sighed and answered truthfully, "At first I just wanted to protect the people around me, and then I wanted to protect a state and a county. I can't figure out what will happen in the future!"
"If the general can fully realize his ambition, it will be a blessing to the people!" Yuan Tiangang was slightly disappointed with Li Xu's answer, and continued to guide him to the goal he needed.
"What a blessing for the common people!" Li Xu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Li came from a humble background. The Taoist Priest must also know that the pain that others have experienced is the same as mine!"
"A hero should not ask about his origin. Back then, Liu Jinu also chopped wood and carried water with others!" Yuan Tiangang nodded, and in his heart he had more respect for the young general in front of him. They were trying to leave traces in troubled times.
From the perspective of practitioners, the six counties of Hebei and Hedong Road have become a whole. When people mention Li Yuan, who is now far away from Taiyuan, they must also mention Li Xu, who is in Boling. The combined power of these two Lis is enough to control the world.
The situation and Li Xu made it clear about his own origin without hesitation. In Yuan Tiangang's eyes, it meant that deep down in his heart, he had no intention of relying on the help of the Li family. This big tree that has been growing for more than a hundred years is not only frank
Dirty, and arrogant!
'If Li Xu relied on the Longyou Li family, and then broke away from the Longyou Li family...' Suddenly, Yuan Tiangang was a little heated by the thoughts in his heart. With the courage and ambition of the young man in front of him, he may not be
The choice of hero to end the troubled times! Although this person does not have as strong connections as those of many famous families, compared to the heroes of Wagang and the heroes of Hebei, his methods are much brighter, and he can deal with the people under his rule better than others.
A hundred times better!
The way of heaven, the way of heaven, does God's will mean that everyone should choose a bandit leader, elect him to become the master of the Central Plains, and then share the spoils together? Yuan Tiangang does not agree with this view. As a worldly practitioner, he cannot be too supreme and forget the emotions of the young people in front of him.
There is obviously a kind of temperament missing in people. Yuan Tiangang knows what that kind of temperament is, but he really doesn't want to see something dark appear behind Li Xu.
This feeling is like when he first got an ancient rhyme, and was amazed by its perfection, but regretted that it was difficult to spread. But after becoming familiar with its artistic conception, he would rather it drift away in perfection than add a few more syllables to it.
"I don't dare to compare myself to a slave!" From Yuan Tiangang's words, Li Xu clearly sensed the meaning of temptation and expectation. Therefore, knowing that his words would disappoint the other party, Xu Zi decided to tell the truth frankly.
, "The Taoist priest may have thought that the people of Qin had lost their deer and the whole world was chasing it away. But Li felt that he was the deer. No matter if it was caught in the soup pot or smoked to make jerky, the taste would be unpleasant.
tight!"
"What a General Li! What a deer!" After hearing this, Yuan Tiangang, whose mind went back and forth countless times in a short period of time, couldn't help but looked up to the sky and sighed, "What the general was thinking, Yuan did not expect.
As a deer, this body is a deer, the heaven and the earth are a furnace,..." He shook his head, picked up the tea cup again, and was about to take a sip before saying goodbye, but his arms trembled and he poured half of the cup of tea on his clothes.
I am a deer, and I am a deer. In troubled times, heroes draw their bows and arrows, all showing off their heroic deeds. But will anyone ask how the deer feels?
