In the past few days, the same problem has been plaguing Xuzi. A general will inevitably die in battle. Since the first day of joining the army, he has been prepared to lie drunk on the battlefield. But he cannot accept that Zhang Xutuo was exhausted to death by the bandits, and then
The ending of the owl showing its head to the public. The old man once led by example and pointed out a path for him at the most confused moment in his life. "The duty of a general is to protect!" For more than three years, it was this belief that supported him and shocked him again and again.
He raised his head in despair and continued to appreciate his own life of warmth and warmth. But now, he found that there was no warmth at the end of the road, everything he protected would eventually be destroyed, and what awaited him would be the same life ending as Zhang Xutuo.
He once tried to vent his frustration 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 could not face his conscience. After several struggles,
He found that all he could do was to continue moving forward in confusion, even if there was no light ahead.
If Yuan Tiangang had come half a month earlier, perhaps his words just now would have made Xu Zi stop resolutely and follow the advice of Zhao Ziming and others to first take care of the one-third of an acre of land under his control, and then move on to other things. But now, related
Asahi has already been troubled by the problem. Although he didn't understand 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 was surprised when he saw that his warning only had the effect of making Li Xu hesitate slightly. Then he 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 moment and decided to answer in chronological order. He was not afraid that Yuan Tiangang would reveal any secrets. In fact, as soon as the Boling Army crossed the Yellow River, the final goal would be
The ground is already clear. With Xu Maogong's caution, there will be spies behind the Wagang Army at this moment. If Wagang Village is informed of the arrival of the Boling Army one day earlier, the bandits will have to send troops to
The soldiers and horses in Liyang, Hebei Province should be transferred back to the south of the Yellow River as soon as possible. In this way, with the strength of the four soldiers and horses of Yang Yichen, Wei Ji, Yang Shanhui and Guo Xuan, the army can easily eradicate the bandits in Hebei Province who have suffered heavy setbacks and have lost strong support.
.Return to the plains, and bring peace to Bohai, Qinghe and other counties.
"After paying homage to General Zhang, I will confirm whether the rumor that the imperial court has appointed me as the Henan Province's arrest envoy but the imperial edict was blocked on the south bank of the Yellow River is true." Li Xu paused, and Yuan Tiangang was surprised.
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 in front of him
This legendary general is not only strong-willed, 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 faith in life. In fact, it is a certain faith that supports him to travel tirelessly in a troubled world.
Joining the world is also a kind of spiritual practice. Every practitioner has his own path in his heart. He has different ways of seeking realization, but he is equally irreversible.
"General Zhang once taught me during his lifetime 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. In shock, he saw the arms of Mrs. Li, who was sitting on the side serving tea for him and Li Xu, trembling slightly, and half of the tea in the pot had been poured.
On the ground, he himself was completely unaware.
"Yes, protect!" Li Xu stood up quickly, walked to his absent-minded wife, and took the teapot from her hand. "You go and have a rest first, don't tire yourself!" He did his best regardless of the guests in front of him.
He gently ordered Erya. Then he turned back to his seat and refilled the tea bowls of the host and guest one after another. "The boy is not talented, and it was in vain that the Taoist priest warned me. I will definitely go to this Dongjun group. Even if I don't have it, I will go there."
Regarding the relevant imperial edict, Li must not forget the responsibilities on his shoulders!"
"It's okay!" Yuan Tiangang quickly adjusted his mentality from the shock and replied with a smile. "Pindao didn't expect to be able to persuade the general with just a few words. To be honest with the general, Pindao has met countless heroes over the years. People with ambitions like the general
, this is the first time I’ve seen it!”
"I'm sorry, little girl, Taoist Priest, please help yourself!" Shi Lan slowly collected her thoughts and bowed to Yuan Tiangang. She had reminded her husband more than once, both openly and secretly, of what Yuan Tiangang had just said.
She was angry at the other party's deliberate perfunctory. 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 underestimate him. In this regard, I am far from
Not as good as Zhen'er..." With heavy thoughts, before going out, Erya's feet got tripped by 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
go.
"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 and observed the expression on Li Xu's face while drinking tea. His purpose in coming to the army was not entirely to defuse Li Xu.
The enmity between Xu and Wagang's army. 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 Taoism passed down by the ancestors.
The meaning of scripture.
"It's better to save him 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 the Taoist priest, 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 before answering.
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, both Buddhism and Buddhism introduced from the Western Regions
Taoists who were born in the Central Plains are always looking for strong people in troubled times. Only by standing with strong people 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 lost his virtue, and all the officials have no plans, alas!" Yuan Tiangang sighed again. Today's lobbying has failed, but it is not very thorough. As long as the other party admits that troubled times have arrived, the two sides can find other opportunities to continue the discussion.
Go on. In Yuan Tiangang's belly, 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 control. If the other party continues to adhere 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 is the way of heaven, and it is extremely unfair. It has no ability to punish those who make mistakes, but it drags all the people in the world to be buried with them. If this rule is set by any god, the god who sets this rule must be blinded by lard.
I have no idea what is right and what is wrong, yet countless people sacrifice their lives to demonstrate their so-called skills. It’s okay if you don’t believe in such rules and gods!”
A powerful coercion immediately enveloped Yuan Tiangang's whole body, and in an instant he was almost breathless. 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 comprehended through decades of chanting scriptures could resist.
. For a moment, it confused the mind of the cultivator, causing him to forget all the words he had prepared. "The general misunderstood, this was not Pindao's original intention. Pindao just thought that the Sui Dynasty had reached this point.
Fantiandi is completely and completely to blame." Yuan Tiangang shook his head repeatedly and murmured. "The way of heaven is a fair rule with no time limit. If the emperors and ministers of the Sui Dynasty could always cherish the people, there would be no chaos. Once it happens, there will be no rule.
If it violates the way of heaven, all heroes will rise together..."
"Are the heroes doing this just 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.
Each one of them talks more pleasantly than the other, but what they do is only destruction, never construction! If the Taoist priest’s way of heaven needs to be witnessed in this way, I’m sorry, but I also want to say that the god who sets the way of heaven must be a madman!
If he dares to stand up in front of me, I will also dare to draw my sword and fight him!"
These are views that Li Xuping didn't quite understand. They had always been hidden deep in his heart. They were chaotic and disorderly and could not be expressed in just a few words. Today, he was stimulated by Yuan Tiangang's words and burst out.
There was no obstacle at all. After I finished yelling, 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 great at leading troops in battles, but he was also so sharp with his words!" Yuan Tiangang was already sweating on his forehead, and he was livid in admiration. His words were not speculative, but he could already clearly understand what the other party was thinking.
.Many of those ideas were unheard of by him from other heroes. They may not be correct, but they are shocking. "Pindao wanted to give you some enlightenment first. It seems that Pindao would like to thank you for your enlightenment!"
"I don't dare, I'm just telling the truth!" After Li Xu let out the frustration in his heart, his tone of voice turned calm again.
"Then what are General Li's plans for 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, but 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, and the Taoist priest must also know it. Therefore, I feel the same pain that others have experienced!"
"A hero should not ask about his origins. Back then, Liu Jinu also chopped wood and carried water with others!" Yuan Tiangang nodded, and he had more respect for the young general in front of him. Among them, they are trying to stay in troubled times.
From the perspective of trace practitioners, the six counties of Hebei and Hedong Road seem to have become a whole. When people mention Li Yuan, who is now far away from Taiyuan, they must mention Li Xu, who is in charge of Boling. The combined power of these two Lis has already
It is enough to influence the situation of the world. And Li Xu made it clear about his own origin. In Yuan Tiangang's eyes, it means that deep down in his heart, he has no intention of relying on the big tree of the Li family in Longyou, which has been growing for more than a hundred years.
The tree is not only open and open, but also proud and unique!
'If Li Xu borrows help from the Longyou Li family, and then breaks 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
He is not the hero chosen to end troubled times! Although this person does not have as strong a network as those of many famous families, compared to the heroes of Wagang and the heroes of Hebei, his methods are much brighter, and his treatment of the people under his rule is also better than others.
A hundred times better!
The way of heaven, the way of heaven, is it the will of heaven 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 practitioner who lives in the world, he cannot be too supreme and forget his feelings. But in front of him
The young man obviously lacked a kind of temperament. Yuan Tiangang knew what that kind of temperament was, but he really didn't want to see something dark appear behind Li Xu.
This feeling is like when he first got an ancient rhyme song, and was surprised 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 speak frankly.
Reported, "The Taoist priest may have thought that if the people of Qin lost their deer, the whole world would chase it away. But Li felt that he was the deer. No matter whether it was caught in the soup pot or smoked to make jerky, the taste would be the same.
It’s so uncomfortable!”
"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 look up to the sky and sigh, "What the general was thinking, Yuan did not expect.
This body is a deer, this body is a deer, the heaven and the earth are the furnace,..." He shook his head, picked up the tea cup again, and was about to take a sip before saying goodbye. However, his arms trembled and he poured half of the cup of tea on it.
On the lapel.
This person is a deer, this person is a deer. In troubled times, heroes draw their bows and arrows, each showing off their heroic deeds, but will anyone ask how the deer feels? (To be continued)
