Chapter 153

Duanmu Cong and Mo Yi were in charge of Xiliang, governing the people's livelihood and government affairs in Xiliang, Zhou Yu gave them great autonomy, and at the same time there was a disciple of the Jishi Sect to assist, within three years, they reduced grain and taxes, lightly punished local tyrants and bullies, punished corrupt officials and corrupt officials, opened schools, and educated the people with Mojia thought.

Compared with Confucianism, in fact, Mohist thought is more in line with the working people at the bottom of the people, except for self-suffering and extreme harshness on themselves, other ideological theories are to speak from the standpoint of the laborers and safeguard the interests of the laborers.

Throughout ancient China, there was only one Mohist who could do this.

Duanmu Cong and others were in charge of Xiliang, and three years later, Xiliang was politically harmonious, the people were convinced, and the people of Xiliang strongly supported it.

Xiliang was completely controlled, so Zhou Yu began to fight hard, reorganize his army, and prepare to attack Liang in the south.

In the tenth year of Taihe, Zhou Yu, the king of Qi, sent his generals to lead 700,000 troops, falsely claiming to be a million troops, and sent troops south, wanting to destroy the Liang State in a war.

When Li Le, the king of Liang, heard this, he panicked and was horrified, and he couldn't stop the idea of surrendering. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were also at a loss, and they could not make a plan to repay the country.

At this time, Sima Du, who leaned towards the government and the opposition, stepped forward as a matter of course, led 300,000 troops, garrisoned Nanyang City, and faced the Northern Qi army.

Under the city of Nanyang, the two armies faced each other, Sima Du deserved to be a peerless general, 300,000 against 700,000, with less against more, he could also achieve victory, defeat the Qi army, and return with a big victory.

In the thirteenth year of Taihe, Zhou Yu sent another general, leading 800,000 troops, to attack Liang in the south, and the troops came to Nanyang City. As a result, he was still defeated and defeated under Sima Du's fire attack.

In the sixteenth year of Taihe, this time Zhou Yu personally led 850,000 troops and wanted to dominate the world. As a result, not only was he defeated, but he was also a fiasco, if Li Changding, who went out with the army, came to the rescue, even he Zhou Yu would have fallen into Nanyang City.

There are many reasons for this fiasco, one of which is that the Great Luo Sect came out of the mountain. It's a pity that they are assisted by Nanliang. Because the Great Luo Sect is on the border of the Southern Liang Territory, Sima Du dared to risk the disapproval of the world and led the troops to attack the Great Luo Mountain, forcing the Great Luo Sect to have no choice but to obey.

Within ten years, Zhou Yu did not talk about the war, but turned to deal with court affairs, develop people's livelihood, and increase the influence of Mohist thought in the people and in the court.

This is not an easy thing to do, even if he is the king of a country. Because at this time, the general trend of Confucianism has been achieved, if it were not for the strong support of Ji Shizong, the spread of Mohist thought, so that it can compete with Confucianism, restore the prosperity of the pre-Qin period, and the situation of Confucianism and Mohism being called together, is simply a fantasy!

Mohist thought only flourished for a time in the pre-Qin period, and Confucianism and Mohist were known in the world, but then they disappeared and the inheritance was cut off.

In addition to the ruler's deposition of Confucianism, the inherent shortcomings of the Mohist family themselves are also a reason, and even his own shortcomings account for a greater proportion. For example, self-suffering for pleasure, such as excessive frugality, is absolutely unacceptable to many people.

After all, Legalism and Taoism are also at odds with Confucianism and Taoism, but they have been passed down endlessly.

Therefore, how to transform Mohist thought to make it more acceptable to the world, suitable for the people and the imperial court, and in line with the needs of the development of the times. This is what Ji Shizong's high-level leaders, including Li Changding and Jiang Wudong, have to think about.

It takes a slow time to spread Mohist thought, but it is smooth sailing to spread another thought.

As a sacrifice, especially a sacrifice to spread the beliefs of the earth in this world. How could Li Changding not try to preach to Zhou Yu?

Since ancient times, all religions, if they want to prosper and flourish in the world, the support of the upper echelons of the country is absolutely indispensable. So, while giving him advice by Zhou Yu's side, Li Chang would see the opportunity to give him the greatness of the goddess of the earth from time to time, and as for the result, of course, it was quite outstanding.

Zhou Yu is already a believer in the goddess of the earth. And the goddess of Houtu has also become the god of this world. And because the disciples of Jishizong are all over the Qi country, helping the needy, and almost all of them believe in the goddess of Houtu, among the people, the belief in Houtu has gradually flourished. The foundation is slowly becoming solid.

In the twenty-sixth year of Taihe, after ten years of cultivation and recuperation, the Qi State not only recovered its national strength, but also because of the vigorous assistance of Ji Shizong, its strength was a little stronger than before.

But even so, Zhou Yu still didn't dare to speak lightly about going south, because Nanyang City was surrounded by water on three sides, backed by mountains on one side, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and then there was the peerless famous general Sima Du, and the previous fiasco, he had to be cautious and cautious.

At this moment, someone suggested to Zhou Yu that it was better to let Generalissimo Ling Xiao lead the troops into battle and conquer Nanyang.

Zhou Yu couldn't help but think about it when he heard it.

Since Zhou Yu ascended the throne, Ling Xiao returned to Longcheng, and since then, he has ignored foreign affairs, just single-mindedly governing the border and guarding the territory. Dedication and loyalty.

Despite this, Zhou Yu has always been very jealous of Ling Xiao, if he is allowed to lead the border army to the south this time, if he is defeated, it is naturally the best, and Ling Xiao, whose strength and prestige have been greatly damaged, can let him really use it with confidence.

If he wins, it doesn't matter, Zhou Yu at this time is no longer Zhou Yu when he just ascended the throne. There are many generals in his hands, there are many talents, and there are more people who are attached to him.

Moreover, Zhou Yu didn't think that Ling Xiao would be able to defeat Nanyang City, even if he won, it would definitely be a miserable victory, and his strength would be greatly damaged, so there was no need to worry about it from now on.

So the border changed defenses, and Ling Xiao led 600,000 border troops to the south to attack Nanyang City.

Just when the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were waiting to see his jokes, the news came that Nanyang City had been taken.

Ling Xiao's method of taking Nanyang City was very simple, and at the same time, it was also very obscene.

Before the army started, Ling Xiao ordered his subordinates to send a battle post to Sima Du and meet for a decisive battle at Lieyang Mountain outside Nanyang City.

Sima Du glanced at this battle book and threw it aside, not caring at all.

Liang Guo's safety is at stake, although Sima Du is very confident in his strength and does not think that he will lose to Ling Xiao, but just in case, he will not go to the appointment. After all, the other party, like him, was also the Great Grandmaster of the Realm of Heaven and Man, and he was only one step away from the legendary Broken Void.

Only Sima Du, who is so cultivated, can force the Daluo Sect to vote, otherwise if he changes to any person who goes to Daluo Mountain, I am afraid that there will be no return, and it will just be a meat ticket in vain.

Faced with this result, Ling Xiao was not surprised, because of the change of place, he would be the same.

As a result, Ling Xiao began to implement the second set of plans - assassination, assassinating middle- and low-ranking junior officers and generals.

Ling Xiao didn't kill much, only two or three a day, but every time he would leave a bloody note on the scene, saying that it was because Sima Du refused his decisive battle that he would act like this. Only if Sima Du accepts the decisive battle will he stop doing so, otherwise he will continue to do so.

In this way, Sima Du was forced into a desperate situation and had to accept Ling Xiao's invitation to a decisive battle. Otherwise, the morale of the army is unstable, and there is no need to fight this battle.

So, on the third day of the fifth month, Ling Xiao's army arrived in Nanyang City, and three days later, Sima Du and Ling Xiao fought a decisive battle on Lieyang Mountain.

As a result, Sima Du was defeated and died, along with a group of masters who were lying in ambush on his side, all died under Ling Xiao's sword.

Yes, Sima Du didn't plan to duel with Ling Xiao one-on-one from beginning to end, he was a powerful minister, a famous general, and a hero, but he was not a pure martial artist.

Therefore, although he has strong martial arts, a good birth, and many adventures, he has even carefully studied the "Baiyang True Solution" left by Bai Yang Zhenren, and in terms of the resources obtained, he is no worse than Ling Xiao, and his talent is also the same.

However, he finally died under Ling Xiao's sword, just because Ling Xiao was purer than him, he was a pure general when he led the troops, a pure official when he was in politics, and a pure warrior when he was in martial arts.

And after the fourth order, the comparison is who is more pure.

Ling Xiao is more pure than Sima Du, because he not only won a big victory, but also took this opportunity to go further, the soul primordial spirit completely possessed the essence of the fifth order, but the mana and system were not perfect, and it took time to ponder, which could be said to be a half-step fifth order.

Sima Du died, and most of the masters in the army were killed or wounded, Ling Xiao led many masters who were lurking in Nanyang City early in the morning, sneaked into the military camp at night, and started to kill from the senior generals, killing the Southern Liang army and almost collapsed.

This is a world of martial arts, and the two armies are facing each other, not only comparing the art of war and tactics, and the bravery of the soldiers, but also comparing the quantity and quality of the masters of both sides.

As a result, Nanliang was defeated, Nanyang City was broken, and the world was a sensation!

After conquering Nanyang City, Nanliang is already in danger, there is no danger to defend, and Ling Xiao's soldiers are in the front, and there is absolutely no way to resist the soldiers.

Li Le of Nanliang was in a panic all day, and he didn't know what to do, and at this time someone proposed to negotiate peace with the Qi State, cede the land and pay compensation, bow down to the ministers, and maybe be able to keep the glory and wealth.

Li Le immediately played the game, sent an envoy, prepared a generous gift, and hurried to the Qi country.

After taking Nanyang City, Ling Xiao's generals asked for battle, wanting to go south to destroy Liang, but Ling Xiao refused, and at the same time ordered all the troops to stick to Nanyang City, not to move lightly, and wait for the order of Zhou Yu, the king of Qi in the rear.

And on the night of the same day, the heavily guarded Chinese army camp, Ling Xiao's military tent, quietly came to an old man with white hair and fairy bones, and did not alarm anyone.
