If you carve a boat and ask for a sword, God will bless you.
The meaning of this sentence is that as long as the will is firm, even if the important sword is lost during the boat trip, as long as you persevere, even the gods will be moved, and then protect those with firm will, and finally achieve their goals and wishes.
"Well, that's right. This explanation will make my personal image very comprehensive. Very good, let's promote it according to this version."
"yes!"
After all, he is also an outstanding graduate of the Textile College. How could County Magistrate Li not know how to "carve a boat in search of a sword"? But there is no way, people in the world have to be arrogant.
Alas... Who said I had no choice at that time?
Being surrounded by international friends would be a small matter to lose one's face, but a big deal to damage morale. It would also likely discredit the State of Wu, which would undermine County Magistrate Li's noble patriotism.
Therefore, it must come round.
In the end, the effect was good, and it almost made Yangzi Yubao perform the swallowing of a big sword alive. It was really County Magistrate Li's coquettish operation, which saved the waist of countless people.
This is okay, what else do you think is not okay?
It’s a matter of course that I received my order from God.
This coquettish operation attracted the attention of countless people. In addition to the hungry and resentful women who drooled over their figures, there were also more "righteous men". Some "righteous men" were sober-minded, while others were mentally ill.
The "righteous men" who were not clear-headed and were not clear-headed incited a large number of illiterate people to tell this story over and over again hundreds of times.
Illiterate people know nothing. They have to pay homage to any ghosts and gods they encounter. What’s more, what County Magistrate Li showed at that time was simply super god.
What did the fierce man of Wu state say at that time? I had two drinks with the God of Surabaya, but I didn’t dare to drink more for fear of causing trouble, so I hurried back with the sword.
Tsk tsk, you and Shui Ling can be called brothers. Even if you are not brothers, you can still be regarded as Shui Ling's guest.
This is stronger than most kings.
The scholar-bureaucrats must think this is bullshit, but if they can't expose County Magistrate Li's tricks, then Magistrate Li is a super god and will argue if he doesn't accept it.
Taihao ordered Da Ting to be the Ju Long clan, and this Ju Long clan was the Da Ting clan, and he was also the water spirit river god worshiped on both sides of the Surabaya River in these years.
To put it bluntly, it is still ancestor worship. For the Xia Miao descendants on both sides of Surabaya, their ancestors were the sons of the Fuxi family or officials, so worshiping ancestors and worshiping gods overlapped.
Over time, the sacrificial activities formed became a widespread religious activity. The people who presided over the sacrificial rituals changed from the descendants of the Julong family or the Dating family to the people on both sides of Surabaya who did not know the truth.
Anyway, the people are quite happy. The water in Surabaya is quite nourishing.
And now a wild Wu Guoman appears in Surabaya. He is so proud, so proud.
You must know that the state of Jin controls rivers and worships He Bo. But every year, the state of Jin pulls out so many gimmicks. No matter how it is sacrificed, He Bo seems to slap the state of Jin with a backhand. Then the states of Zheng, Wei, and Lu,
Qi Guo... slapped him one by one.
No matter how much you pay homage to He Bo, He Bo doesn't appreciate it and will flood people when the time comes. Occasionally, he will make small-scale diversions, but at last there are no large-scale diversions. This makes Emperor Zhou very lucky.
Compared with river water, Surabaya is not too gentle.
It’s just such a gentle Surabaya. Every time there is heavy rainfall in summer, as long as there is a flash flood, the river water will immediately surge, and then the little fists will beat wildly, probably imitating the big brother of the Yellow River...
But in any case, Surabaya is relatively gentle, and it irrigates a large amount of land and supports a large number of people and livestock.
Therefore, countries adjacent to the rivers, Jishui and Surabaya have a relatively better impression of Surabaya.
Among the water spirits everywhere, the God of Surabaya definitely has an excellent reputation.
So now a problem arises. Illiterate people think that the strong man of Wu State has a close relationship with Lord Sishui and is a person blessed by the gods. So, how can he lose if he fights with such a person?
There are many more "righteous men" who bring their own dry food. The novice countries that were originally hesitant have secretly hooked up, and some have not secretly hooked up. They came to find out.
If the Yang State had not been forced to acquire a piece of land belonging to the Xue State early on, it would have been difficult to accommodate so many "righteous men" who suddenly came over.
At the beginning of Xia, the Song State organized its troops to prepare for war. The only countries that followed the Song State's footsteps were Dai State and Xue State. Lu State and Chen State, who originally had a bit of a plastic brotherhood, said goodbye to him directly.
As for Dai Guo and Xue Guo, the two families have complicated feelings. Dai Guo had to go out with the boss to kill people, and Li Jie's humiliation of Dai Jizi was like stepping on the ground and rubbing Dai Guo, so this revenge must be avenged;
Xue Guo was very pure, he just wanted to take back the land he had forced Yang Guo to take away.
After the Song State declared war, Biyang State immediately responded to the war. At the same time, more than twenty countries, large and small, publicly announced their aid to Biyang State. There were also thirteen or four countries that secretly donated money and materials, most of which were small countries near Song and Lu.
For example, Rong State, Cao State, etc.
Cao State, in particular, was rich in money and food. It sponsored 75,000 shi of grain under the Cao State system in one fell swoop. Calculated, this would probably feed an army of 50,000 people for a month.
Rich, really extremely rich.
The Cao State was not as large as the Song State, but like the Biyang State, it was located on a transportation thoroughfare, so trade was naturally developed and exchanges were frequent.
In addition, Cao State is different from other small countries. It is one of the "Twelve Princes". It was responsible for supervising Song State together with Lu State. It was also responsible for guarding Chang Di and Chi Di together with Qi State and Wei State.
task.
It can be said that although the country is not as powerful as Jin and Chu, its status is still quite special.
Therefore, among the famous economic centers in the world, besides Luoyi, the second largest one is Taoqiu, the capital of Cao State.
It's just that money alone is not enough. Cao Guo always stood on the wrong team in the Jin-Chu hegemony. Then he fell out with Song Guo and mocked Qi and Lu. The direct result was that he was defeated by Jin and Chu Guohai many years ago.
Later, Jin and Chu stopped flattening it, and Qi and Song continued to flatten it.
Fortunately, Cao Guo was quite capable and seized the strategic opportunity. There was a loud bang in the sky and Gouchen made his debut. The amazing charm displayed by the great monster of Wu State at that time made the young Uncle Cao look shy and his heart pounded.
Plop.
That's right, it's the feeling of heart...myocardial infarction.
When Cao Bo licked Gou Chen, Gou Chen ignored him. If Cao Guo hadn't helped when Gou Chen extorted hundreds of sets of "Tailao" from Lu, the old monster might not have remembered that there was such a number one person.
But anyway, after the old monster went crazy and subdued the Jin State, the Lu State raised his wine glass with a serious look on his face and said to the princes: I will lick it first as a sign of respect, you can do whatever you want.
After all, he did his best. Cao Guo quickly shouted: I licked it too, I licked it too...
So, no matter whether the old monster remembers it or not, Cao State is theoretically protected by Wu State. Although Wu State did not protect it for a day, it is really too far away, with more than a dozen countries in between.
Chicken.
But the benefits gained by Cao State were obvious. Chu State, Jin State and Qi State all gave in. Cao State resumed production quickly, and because of its geographical advantages, it once again earned a large amount of foreign exchange from international trade.
Why did Song State want to capture Biyang State?
It is because the merchants of the Song Dynasty are famous all over the world and their efficiency in making money is really not as good as that of the Cao Kingdom. After conquering the Biyang Kingdom, the international trade of the big countries in the north and south can make a lot of money. The Wu Kingdom is admittedly barbaric, but the Wu Kingdom is a big country with abundant resources.
Rich in natural resources, and willing to pay for it.
The reason why Cao State was rich was because Qilu wanted to do business with Jin Wei, so they passed by Cao State, and it was right in the middle. Song State had a plan in terms of economics and trade, which was to take possession of Biyang State, and then occupy Biyang State's territory.
Vigorously operate, so the international trade between Qilu and Wuyue must go through them?
There is a truth and a nature, but the Song Dynasty obviously thought too well and fell into a trap.
Then there was bad luck again. The transition of power within the two countries, Wu and Jin, added to the pitfalls.
The international situation is changing rapidly, and this is what I am talking about.
The Song State was in a dilemma, and the Cao State was also in a dilemma.
But now, because County Magistrate Li is a brother to the God of Surabaya, and has the attitude of being a friend of the "Julong Family", the Song State and Cao State are itching at the same time.
Song Guo's teeth were itching, Cao Guo's heart was itching.
If you deliberately criticize Mr. Li, you are a piece of shit and a scum, you must be doing it for fun, but in full view of everyone, County Magistrate Li did fish a sword out of the water.
That's the good thing about Big Sword. As long as you play it, everyone who enjoys it will say it's good.
Compliments and applause!
The princes of other countries did not expect that County Magistrate Li himself did not think too much. He just wanted to fake it. He had to fake it with tears in his eyes. In order to play with the sword, he even took off his briefs. The sacrifice was not insignificant.
big.
Now that there is such an international trend, it is an unexpected gain, and he did not expect it at all.
It's just that this messy situation has better results. At this moment, everything inside and outside Biyang City is in perfect order. Those unruly illiterate people were all bewitched and followed the "righteous men" to make a living. Qi Guo's martial arts leader
I have a lot of younger brothers, and many of the martial arts leaders are well-known in the local area. They are the kind who are very impressive when they go out to kill people.
Now take the lead and get some followers to come and plate gold. Aren't the illiterate people happy? They have meat to eat.
Normally, the illiterate people only recognize the eldest brother and not the other person. Now because County Magistrate Li and "Ju Longshi" can chat, the situation has changed. The illiterate people only recognize the tough guy...the eldest brother.
That's right, what is a big brother? The big brother's big brother is the real big brother!
Then Cao Guo came to help, with 75,000 shi of grain. Except for Cao Guo's transportation through the road, most of them were purchased directly from Lu Guo.
Money... is a trivial matter. Cao Guo paid for the entire process with gilt copper shells, so Lu could not refuse. Money or not was a trivial matter. The people of Lu said that they did not transport food to Biyang because of gilt copper shells.
, they saw that the Cao and Lu families came from the same family, with the surname Ji, and they were one family.
The sudden explosion of so much food shocked the illiterate people at the time. Ouch, the real eldest brother is indeed the real eldest brother, and he is much better than his hometown Qi State who used to play swordsman all day long.
Before we even spoke, the princes took the initiative to contribute so much food. This... this is so majestic.
Domineering!
He is indeed a true hero who can chat and drink with Mr. Surabaya!
When Cao Guo did this, Song Guo was very angry and said angrily: What do you mean? Destroy me?
Cao Guo was adamant, after all, the big boss of Wu State was right in front of him, but he did not dare to say harsh words, saying that he did not send troops or anything, but that he had been friends with Wu Guo's handsome god for a long time, so he gave some gifts to make friends.
The kings and ministers of the Song Dynasty were so angry that they had no choice but to turn around and attack the Cao Kingdom. What would happen? Furthermore, there was nothing morally wrong with the Cao Kingdom.
It's just that Cao Guo's behavior made Song Guo feel disgusted. If he made a friend, he would give him 75,000 shi of grain. How much would he give if he fired a cannon?
Life was so difficult that it made Song Guo very uncomfortable.
If the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty had not carefully studied the international situation behind closed doors, otherwise they would have withdrawn when they encountered such an "unjust and unjust" situation.
The most you can do is to say harsh words, such as "Don't leave after school if you have the right to do so", but now the Song Dynasty has to go. After Wu and Jin divided the Xu Kingdom, the geopolitical environment in the southeast has become extremely bad, and at the same time, there will be a chain of
The reaction will lead to fewer and fewer followers for a long time in the future, and the anti-Song forces will become stronger and stronger.
This situation is why the kings and ministers of the Song Dynasty must persevere even if they grit their teeth with tears in their eyes, and will not give up until they are beaten.
As the princes of various countries joined forces and a large amount of supplies were concentrated in the Biyang Kingdom, this war has exceeded expectations. The level of the war continues to rise, and it is no longer possible for ordinary generals to control such a large-scale military operation.
Just the total strength of both combatants is increasing like crazy.
The troops secretly mobilized by the Song State were all mobilized from the northwest to assist the southeast. The Biyang State, with the crocodile men and brave men of Jiangyin City as the core, formed densely packed camps and fortresses, and the entire surrounding area of Biyang City stood up.
There are a large number of walled cities. Looking down from a high position, Biyang City seems to have expanded ten times in size.
When the war level was still the retaliatory military action of the Song State, the princes of all countries believed that the Song State would win; when the war level rose to the defense of Biyang, the princes of all countries believed that the Biyang State had a good chance of winning; when the war level rose to
When the great powers engage in proxy wars, the princes of the various countries believe that the outcome is unpredictable.
Now, the level of war has risen again. The Song State is quite a bit like "the power of the whole country", while the coalition forces of the Yang State are an alliance of dozens of countries.
The problem lies in the scale. The scale is too huge. The Song Dynasty had military generals who could preside over such a large-scale battle.
But what about forcing the Yang Kingdom coalition forces?
There is no doubt that there is only one coach, and that is Li Jie.
The number of times Li Jie has proven on the battlefield can be counted on one hand. The most glorious one was when he created "Wandering in the Courtyard".
But even so, how many people are there?
Now the scale has expanded more than ten times, involving military struggles, logistical supplies, etc., and even communication between dozens of coalition forces. If you are not careful, it will be a diplomatic incident.
This is an extremely dangerous situation. If the strong men of Wu State are not careful, what happened to Song State last winter will happen.
Big but not strong, let alone defeating them individually, they might just be taken away by a wave of people.
The princes of various countries in the world are baffled as to how it has developed to such an extent, and County Magistrate Li himself is also confused: What the hell is going on? This is different from what I thought.
The plan could not keep up with the changes. Faced with this situation, County Magistrate Li went a little crazy for a while.
I've only been a county magistrate for a few days. I was a township magistrate not long ago, and now I'm appointed as the commander-in-chief of the army?
