Chapter 566: The Tide Rises and Falls
Zhuo Yun agreed: "I thought so too, so I left the mansion to Zhuo Yao according to the rules." The two brothers, Zhuo Yao and Zhuo Hao, discussed and said that the country was in danger and the people were suffering, and they wanted to donate this house to share the worries of the country and the people.
I'm a little hesitant, how to deal with such a big mansion? So, I invited Qiu Shan again. He has always had a brain, and immediately put forward a good suggestion: Jiawangfu is located on the mountain, sitting on two rivers, pavilions, and priceless treasures, since it is taken from the people, it must be used by the people.
So, I thought about it, according to his words, this place turned into an open garden, Jiawang Mansion was renamed "Jiale Yuan", all the garden flowers and plants, all open to the people, not only that, but also set up a library, more convenient for the people.
This morning, I passed by the "Family Happiness", and sure enough, all the people gathered, laughing and laughing, and there was no dull and dead air in the past. It puts me in a good mood. ”
Ah Long said in a low voice: "Yes, Qiu Shan is rare, born in the emperor's family, grew up in the people, has a heart for the people, and enjoys with the people." He said in his heart: "Qiu Shan is smart and wise, and he knows a truth: if the emperors of the past dynasties are extremely vicious and tyrannical, what will be left to future generations in the end is not thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, not glory through the ages, and not a glorious palace, but the extermination of the race." ”
Zhuo Yun had tears in his eyes: "A lesson from the past, a teacher from the future, until now, I only want to have less sin and more merit, so as to leave room for future generations." Ah Long, this is far away, and now I still have something to discuss with you. ”
Ah Long hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, please say, Ah Long will solve problems for your lord." ”
Zhuo Yun was stunned and burst into tears: "Many things, I am stuffy in my heart, there used to be Sumire tea, but now only you are left." The hardest thing for me was that I didn't know how to place the mantra. If she is buried with Zhuo Mu, I am afraid that Zhuo Mu will dislike it; If it is placed elsewhere, I am afraid that there will be many complaints under the nine springs of Zhuo Mu. ”
Ah Long pondered for a long time before he said: "Zhuo Mu loved her very much before her death, and they have been married for thirty years, and they are also a lover who flies together with wings. Although Mantuo has different intentions, he was provoked by Zhuo Xing, and he was angry about his failure to seize the position of Shu Jun in the past. In any case, she sincerely repented when she was dying, Zhuo Mu has always been magnanimous, and when she meets again, she will meet forgively. ”
Zhuo Yun burst into tears when he heard this: "The world is really ridiculous, mediocre people always disturb themselves!" How many ordinary people have fought for the position of king, and their heads have been bloodied. As everyone knows, how can a mortal be a good king? Either you don't have a lover, or you can't keep your lover, and you can only be a loner in the end. Ah Long, if there is no you now, I, a lonely person, would be even more bored to live. ”
Ah Long hurriedly persuaded: "The king also has eight children, all of whom are like the queen, with both ability and political integrity, loyalty and filial piety. The king's love for his son is deep, and after a long time, his mood will improve. ”
Zhuo Yun wiped away tears: "Yes, I shouldn't be insatiable. Back then, I also left as a violet tea, but I didn't expect that God would favor me and give it back to me, and I was a husband and wife for 18 years. Now, I should be content. It's you, who originally had three children, and now only a little fish is left by your side, and you are even more alone, hanging alone. ”
Ah Long comforted himself: "Dilong and Lufu are all with me, they can resist polishing, and maybe they can turn danger into disaster." ”
Zhuo Yun was still full of worries: "I sent people to investigate, but there has been no news of the two children, only that Zhuo Xing hijacked this Dilong and fled all the way to Dongwu." ”
Ah Long's eyes turned red, and he tried his best to cover it up: "You don't have to worry about it, your children and grandchildren have their own blessings, don't worry about your children and grandchildren." Aaron was worried about Bo Win. He has always been ambitious, vainly trying to dominate China. My Xishu suffered this catastrophe and his vitality was greatly injured, and he will definitely take advantage of the danger of others and wave his army to the west. ”
Just as Aaron worried, in the past 16 years, Bo Ying has never forgotten the pain of losing his concubine and son, and has been worrying about it all the time, looking forward to the unification of China.
When Yan Yan was sent to Xishu, Bo Ying was sitting with Tianji, frowning with his sword eyebrows, discussing the country's plan: "Xishu has a vast territory, is becoming stronger and stronger, and the national strength is thriving. The threat to Soochow is increasing day by day. It's really my henchman, and the culprit is Long Fan. He advocated the "Yuandao strategy" and put forward the grand blueprint of "internal repair and external outreach", which not only enriched the country and strengthened the people, but also attracted him to Northern Xia and Northern Tibet. ”
Tianji frowned and said: "Nowadays, Xishu is developing "one edge and two roads", building the center of "Shu Yuan" in the west, and expanding the inland "Northern Xia" and "Northern Xinjiang" channels, aiming to open up Xihua and communicate with Europe and Asia. In this way, the threat to our Soochow is even greater. ”
When Bo Ying heard about "one edge and two roads", he was distressed: "Few people know that the so-called "one edge" is to rely on the edge of the city, take advantage of the strategic advantages across the two rivers, and communicate the development hinterland of Tibet, Yunnan, Guizhou and Xia. The so-called "two roads" emphasize "one vertical and one horizontal": east-west horizontally, building a waterway channel connecting northern Xinjiang and embracing the East China Sea; In the longitudinal direction of the north and south, a land passage connecting Northern Xia and Nanyu will be built to promote political mutual trust, cultural integration and economic communication. ”
Tianji shook his head again and again: "Nowadays, Shu is developing at full speed, the "Yuandao Strategy" has achieved brilliant results, the three continents of Asia, Africa and Europe have communicated, and Shu tea, Shu brocade, Shu pottery, Shu wine, and Shu rice have been best-selling at home and abroad. They are scrambling for sales everywhere, and we are becoming more and more unable to gain a foothold. ”
Bo Ying was worried: "Yes, in this way, Xishu's comprehensive national strength, catching up with and surpassing Dongwu, and confronting Nanyu is just around the corner." I, Dongwu, was contained by him, wouldn't it be worse and worse? ”
Tianji hurriedly said comfort: "Don't worry, your lordship. If you want to do it, you will fix it. He who wants to be weak will be strong. If you want to abolish it, you will rejuvenate it. He who takes what he wants, he will hold on to it. The better he develops in Xishu, the more I win in Dongwu in the future, and the more I can benefit. In any case, the Western Shu army is insufficient, and we can resort to force. But there are fighters, we are taken by surprise and attacked unprepared, and Xishu, together with the wealth of his people, is in our pocket. ”
While he was talking, Bo Yan went to Shu to return to Wu and returned to see Bo Ying.
Knowing that Xishu was hit hard by the disaster of the Northern Tartars, Zhuo Yun and Long Fan both suffered, Bo Ying was overjoyed: "God-given opportunity, I haven't gone out to destroy Shu yet, and when will I wait." ”
When Bo Yan heard this, he was not happy but worried: "Father, the number of Qi in Xishu is not exhausted, and I Dongwu takes advantage of the danger of others, and the punishment is not guilty, and there is no chance of winning." What's more, if our side loses, there will be three troubles, and the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
Bo Ying was displeased when he heard this, and blurted out: "In your opinion, why are the three troubles?" ”
Bo Yan's face was solemn, and he replied calmly: "Father, the heart of the Northern Tartar tiger and wolf, if I send troops, he will be entangled in the border and take the captain to drive in, this trouble; Nanyu is the strongest, but it can hide but not send, just for Taoguang to raise obscurity, sit and wait for a good opportunity, if I fight in Xishu, Nanyu will take the opportunity to attack, these two troubles; Although the army of Xishu is weak, but the three rivers are dangerous, if I can't attack for a long time, it will definitely increase internal friction, resulting in the people's misery, these three troubles. In this way, isn't my Dongwu in danger? It's better to continue to improve yourself and wait for the time. ”
Bo Ying was even more displeased: "God gives it and does not take it, but suffers from it." I will take Xishu, and I am a soldier and a nobleman. Don't wait for the Northern Tartar and Southern Yu to take advantage of the void to enter, I have already sat on the land of Wu Shu. In this way, your worries will become unfounded. ”
Although he said firmly, he suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, and turned his head to look at Tianji, just looking for an alliance: "Brother Ji, what do you think?" ”
Tianji pondered for a long time, and said: "Since ancient times, if you govern the country, there will be troubles; But where soldiers are used, they need to be risked; Foolproof, always wishful thinking. ”
Bo Ying thought it was: "Born in sorrow, die in peace." Soochow has internal and external troubles, one after another. For today's plan, only by fighting once, can we have a chance. If you don't do anything, you can only sit and wait for death. ”
When Bo Yan heard this, his face was full of worry: "Xishu Zhuoyun is as good as a stream, Xishu Longfan is wise and brave, and Erchen is just worried, these two people are not easy to get along." ”
Bo Ying's face showed anger: "This is wrong, Zhuo Yun is whimsical, he can make a few decisions, and it is not a problem." Long Fan has not been favored for ten years, and it is the end of the strong crossbow, what is the way? Turning to look at Tianji: "In Brother Ji's opinion, if you take Xishu, how to start?" ”
Tianji hesitated for a long time, and then said: "Now that the matter is now, it is not advisable to seek Xishu directly, and it is the best policy to take a roundabout." ”
Bo Ying was quite interested: "In your opinion, how to make a roundabout?" ”
Tianji offered a plan: "Northern Xia is remote, located in the north of Xishu, the territory is vast, the land is sparsely populated, and the soldiers are few and few. If we capture its Yangping Pass again, we can enter Sichuan in the south, Qinxia in the north, Longnan in the west, and Hanzhong in the east. Yuancheng is in our encirclement, and it is really at your fingertips. ”
Bo Ying nodded and said good, but Bo Yan shook his head again and again: "Although my Dongwu army is more than enough, the conquest is not only resorted to force, but also the comparison of financial resources, material resources, and strength. Floods and droughts have been going on in Dongwu for many years, and there are heroes and strongmen who are in turmoil, and the sons are afraid that there will be no shortage of food and grass. ”
Bo Ying groaned: "Those who seek great things, if they look forward and backward, they will never succeed." Now, we must win in the face of danger. ”
Thinking of this, after all, regardless of Bo Yan's dissuasion, he personally tore up the agreement on diplomatic relations between Wu and Shu, and sent the general Tianji to take Northern Xia as a breakthrough to attack Shu.
Bo Ying originally wanted to drive in person, and after some consideration, he felt that it was important to be outside, and he could not be negligent in safety. Especially worried that Jin Feng's ambitions were inflated and ready to move, if he led the army to the battle, the country would be empty, and he would inevitably take the opportunity to make trouble.
Tianji has experienced a hundred battles, has already experienced a generation of famous generals, and immediately formulated a strategy to conquer the west: across the two rivers, through the six gorges, across the eight mountains, occupy Lingzhou in the north, and smash Shudu in the south, no victory and no return!
Seeing that the Tianji point will go out, Bo Ying is fierce and fierce, full of ambition, looking up at the sky, a light cloud, smiling like a flower, fluttering and shaking, as if the green lotus reappeared, drifting closer and closer.
Besides, Qinghe finally got rid of the terrifying nightmare, only to see Ah Long and Xiao Yu'er father and son guarding the side of the bed, but there was no Dilong and Lu Fu.
She was so frightened that she couldn't care about being dizzy, and sat up suddenly: "Ah Long, where is Di Long?" What about Green Bush? ”
Ah Long's face was emaciated, his eyes were dry, and his eyes were bloodshot: "Don't worry, Qinghe, let's rest." When you heal from your injuries, I'll talk to you slowly. ”
Qinghe turned a deaf ear, turned over and got up, staggered, and was about to get out of bed. A seriously ill person, I don't know where he got so much strength, Ah Long couldn't stop it.
For a whole day, Qinghe worked against Ah Long, regardless of the serious injury, he had to leave home to find his son.
Ah Long was so anxious that his white hair was three thousand feet, and he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Qinghe, don't make trouble, Dilong and Lufu were picked up by their mother." ”
In an instant, Qinghe hit the top like a heavy hammer, thunder and thunder, and shook the ground: "Mother? Who is their mother? Sure enough, it's a pearl? ”
Ah Long hugged Qinghe with tears in his eyes and said softly: "Qinghe, don't worry. Pearl heard about the civil strife in Western Shu and ventured to Shu. Dilong and Lufu were both seriously injured, and were taken back to Guidi by Pearl, and asked the uncle doctor to personally rescue him. Although the pearl is to take away the child, but also sympathetic to you, before leaving the clear explanation, just wait for the child to recover, send the child back to Shu. ”
Seeing that Qinghe was stupid and unbelievable, Ah Long said again: "Qinghe, you have been bitten by the ice snake and almost want to die. Fortunately, Qiyan's medical skills are clever, and your hands are rejuvenated, so you will not die. Now Xishu is suffering from the catastrophe of annihilation, and the Northern Tartars and Eastern Wu are all eyeing each other, and the heart of death will not die. Sooner or later, it is inevitable to take advantage of the danger of others, and the soldiers will press the border, we must not mess with our own positions, we must recuperate and take precautions. ”
Qinghe only felt what Ah Long said, false and real, true and false. Whether it's true or not, whether it's virtual or true, she can ignore it, but she really remembers the two babies.
She was worried, stunned, and even remembered: "Back then, I was obsessed, deviated from morality, and tried every possible way to escape from Ah Long, which led to the separation of flesh and blood today. ”
Thinking of the past, it was like a lifetime away: "But ten days ago, I still had five children. Laugh and laugh, play football. Now, the two babies have returned to Nanyu, and the two babies have disappeared, and there is only one left, which is also Gu Ying's self-pity. Thinking like this, I lost three souls and six souls, but I had no choice but to wash my face with tears.
Xiao Yu'er knew the truth, but he didn't dare to say it clearly. There was only one thing, and he was very confused: "Uncle said it clearly, and I remember it clearly." Brother Long and I are brothers, how can we be half-brothers? My father loves my mother so much, it is impossible to be in the morning, how can I like pearls? ”
So far, there is no Dilong to stay with, no one to accompany Lufu, no one to play football with him, no one to practice swords with him, it is really boring.
In fact, there is no more painful than Aaron. He wanted to travel all over the world, walk all over the cape, and be desperate to save the child.
However, today's Shu Kingdom, internal and external troubles, one after another, the situation is urgent, and dangers are everywhere. What's more, Bo Ying fell into the well, and the army pressed the border.
As the first assistant of the cabinet, ranking as the secretary of the military department, shouldering heavy responsibilities, how can he act arbitrarily?
Seeing Qinghe crying day and night, Ah Long wept and comforted himself: "We, the Ba people, are the descendants of the White Tiger, and we are a heroic nation. As early as ancient times, they sent their children to the inaccessible primeval forests to adventure, to experience, to eat and live with wild animals, and to survive in symbiosis. My Dilong, as a son and daughter of the Ba people, is naturally not afraid of hardships and dangers, and stands up to the sky and the earth. I should be proud of him, I should be proud of him, not cry for him. ”
Despite this, Ah Long still has hope: "Di Long is in exile in Eastern Wu, in case he encounters a win, I just hope that he can take care of the feelings of the master and servant of the heavenly power, open up to Di Long, and let him save the day." ”
*****************************************************************
Speaking of Bo Win, because of his lack of greed, he once again kicked off the war, causing the Northern Xia, which had experienced all the vicissitudes of life, to fall into an artillery crisis again.
King Luo Dan of Xia was in a hurry, and sent people to rush to Yuancheng for help.
Fortunately, Ah Long was prepared for danger in times of peace, took precautions, and immediately rushed to help Xia fight against Wu.
Ah Long was afraid that the seriously injured Qinghe wanted to save Dilong, regardless of his life, and insisted on going his own way, so he had to take him with him. Thinking that the sword is not long-sighted, and the former enemy is infinitely dangerous, Ah Long hurried and hurried to buy a set of armor for Qinghe and Xiaoyuer's mother and son, all of which were made of rare yak hides in western Sichuan, which were close to the body and light, and invulnerable.
Qinghe misses his children and has no intention of fighting, although he is sick in bed and extremely weak, he has left Germany several times and wants to leave home to find his son.
Ah Long and Xiao Yu'er discussed, just in case, they had to follow the example of the year and be imprisoned in the car.
Along the way, Qinghe lost his freedom and became angry.
The Qinghe people were in the car, extremely weak, and sat up strongly, lifted the curtain, and looked out. After reading it, I was even more gloomy: "What kind of father-son soldier is this?" One is emaciated and emaciated, described as withered; A milky smell has not dried, and the childishness has not been taken off. Where is this going to war, it is clearly going to die. ”
Xiao Yuer is a young man who does not know sorrow, he is small and ambitious, the bow is wound, the sword is unsheathed, the fighting spirit is high and smiling, and he is full of pride.
Qinghe was worried about the dragon and fish, and was extremely pessimistic. I only felt bitter and hateful, full of resentment: "Think about it, that little fish is naughty like a loach, and before it grows up, it goes to the front again." Although he also trained in the former enemy a few years ago, where did he have so much good luck? Always a lucky star? The battlefield is not his naughty Shu Stadium, it is a real slaughterhouse and meat grinder. Don't say that shrimp soldiers and crab generals like me can almost steal life in the shadow of swords and swords; is his father who is famous for his martial arts, how many heavy blows has he suffered? How can a fish's way be compared to that of a dragon? ”
Qinghe misses her children, and she is extremely sad and indignant, and she is full of tears from morning to night, washing her face with tears.
Ah Long saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart: "We have been married for eighteen years, how have we ever seen her so compassionate?" The last time she went on an expedition, she was like a little magpie, chirping all day long. Now it's good, transformed into an owl, and pretended to be deaf and dumb throughout. ”
His heart hurt, Ah Long had the heart to coax, but he felt that he couldn't pull his face: "In broad daylight, I led so many people, where is it embarrassing to whisper to the "deaf and dumb lady"? ”
After thinking about it, Ah Long finally had an idea: "In the dead of night, I will revive her majesty and let her turn back into a magpie." ”
