Those who have achieved great things in ancient times not only have supernatural talents, but also have perseverance. ———— "The Theory of Error"

On that day, it was said that Montenegro gathered together, remembering that when the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Yantun, the remnant of the Yellow Turban Army, joined hundreds of thousands of people, and the Han army was difficult to exterminate, and there should be a place to survive, but also to give the subordinates who lost their fighting spirit the confidence to fight.

Montenegro is actually another name for Taihang Mountain, which spans east and west, enough to recuperate.

After the first battle of Maocheng, Gao Si led the remnants out of the siege, leaving only eighteen horsemen, and they did not dare to stay, and rushed to the north.

After converging with the forwards, a total of 800 remnants were obtained.

Due to the weakness of the combat force, he had to pick out the weak strength of the officers and soldiers to march, relying on the miraculous powers, day and night, after more than half a month of trekking, finally found a foothold.

This place is the place where Cui Yuanshu and Wang Boren jointly pushed.

The place name is called Fukou 陉, west of Jindi, east of Yecheng, the terrain is dangerous, stretches for hundreds of miles, enough to accommodate oneself.

It was originally a military important place that runs through the east and west, one of the eight paths of the famous Taihang, since the abandonment of the city of Ye, it has fallen into a dead silence, even though the pass is rich in products, and few people dare to enter.

Yecheng, the place of the heart of Wei County, is a big city in the north, but unfortunately it is all in ruins now.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao occupied the south of Yecheng and competed for the world, and was the first prince in the world. and defeated, Cao Cao moved in, and expanded, making it the capital of Cao Wei, majestic and magnificent, is comparable to the city of kings of Jinyang.

Since then, Yecheng has endured for hundreds of years, second only to Chang'an and Luoyang. Until, decades ago, Emperor Yang Kai replaced Zhou Lisui, and Zhou General Chi Hui raised troops in Yecheng, and his soldiers were defeated and died, and millions of people died in this battle.

The emperor was jealous, so he ordered the city to be burned, the city wall was torn down, the foundation was dug up, and the water was diverted to irrigate it, completely destroying the city.

Because there are too many dead souls, there is black gas rising every night, like a ghost town, and the imperial court has moved the people here, making the area around Yecheng barren and populated.

At the beginning of the day, Gao Si stood on the top of the mountain, looking ahead.

An ordinary poor young man, after being burned by blood and fire at this time, although his face is tired, he has a great ambition that is not willing to be ordinary.

In front of him, there was a document of the imperial court's sea fishing, the contents of which were still shocking to him, although he didn't know how many times he had read them, making him feel as if he had a sword piercing his heart, and it was difficult to let go.

“…… Therefore, Yang Xuangan, the son of Yang Su, the king of Yue, was dissident, rebellious, and ordered to punish his nine clans. Hongnong County guarded the execution, and killed Yang Su's coffin as a punishment. The rest, Yang Su's son-in-law, Gao Chongde, was fierce and cunning, killed the general, and sentenced him to the punishment of dividing the corpse of five horses. ”

“…… Following the rebellious Cui Yuanshu, Hu Sizheng and other officials and eunuchs, the sins were unforgivable, and each family was ordered to remove their clans as a warning to those who came after them. ”

…… Yang Yichen was appointed as the ambassador of Hebei to clear the remnants of thieves in the north.

…… With Li Yuan as Jinyang, he was limited to extinguishing the rebels in Guanzhong within three months.

…… The above appointments shall take effect on the date of the announcement, and the official who receives the official letter shall take office immediately and shall not be mistaken. ”

Others may not be able to see the key point of this for a while, but he can see at a glance that this is the opportunity of Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo, and the Li family has quietly taken the lead in the future dragon competition.

It's just that although he can foresee the future, he is helpless.

He was defeated and fled, his wife was nowhere to be found, how could he catch up with each other in the deep mountains and old forests?

"Be strong, you must be strong, and you can't be discouraged by momentary frustration!"

On the top of the black stone on the top of the mountain, Gao Si drew his sword and practiced and tempered his martial arts.

The seven-star sword burns the mind, and there is no other person and no one!

At this time, footsteps came from the mountain road: "Chongde, you are here alone, it won't be that you can't think about it." ”

Choi Won-sook's voice came from below.

Gao Si put the sword into the sheath, turned around, and looked at Cui Yuanshu condescendingly.

"Brother Cui, are you looking for me?"

"It's a place to live in, but it's not long. Something to ask you. Cui Yuanshu got on the black stone, sat down cross-legged and said.

"Say!" Gao Si sat down opposite to see what the family thought.

Cui Yuanshu didn't hide it, but asked seriously: "Chongde, a certain family asked you, what are your plans for the matter of rejuvenating the king and trying to dominate?" ”

Gao Si was silent for a moment, and suddenly sat upright and pressed his sword and said: "Brother Cui, the reincarnation of the five virtues, the rise and fall are determined, and the world is rumored to have peach and plum in the world, what does it have to do with me?" ”

Cui Yuanshu sighed and said: "How can the virtuous brother be so confused, this destiny is illusory, plotting big things, and has always relied on strong soldiers and horses, and you have no great ambitions, doesn't it chill the hearts of these people who follow you?" ”

"I'm just the son-in-law of the Yang Sect, and I'm caught in the whirlpool, so I have to do it. If you want to do great things, let another one choose the best of the best. If I can live my life in troubled times, I just want to fish and farm, and grow old with my wife and children, this is what I want. ”

"That virtuous brother knows that your virtuous wife is sending people under the fence, and her life is difficult. Those people took refuge in the attention of the Li family, but the Li family won the world, and your wife and children would only become playthings. Xanadu is just a fantasy. ”

Zheng ——, the seven-star sword lightning in the sky, Gao Si's murderous aura was abrupt, and he said coldly: "My life is up to me, not to the sky, whoever dares to provoke me will die!" ”

Only then did he realize that he had been provoked by this person, so Han said: "Tell me, what is your purpose and what do you want to get!" He stared at the person and asked seriously.

Mr. Cui Yuanshu's heart was cold, and then he was overjoyed, groaned slightly, and replied: "Virtue, the prosperity of the king, must go through hardships, only after the Quartet battle, cast the dragon qi, in order to finally succeed." As for the background, it is not the key, as long as you follow the example of Emperor Guangwu and win the hearts of the people of Hebei, the world is not enough.

As for me, my real name is Cui Luo, and Yuan Shu is the name of my deceased mother. When the Bolingcui clan sent me out, they actually treated me as an outcast. I just want to work with your monarch and ministers, work together for a great cause, and get back what belongs to me. ”

Gao Si listened, "um", and said: "You were sent out by the family, you should have gone to Li Mi, why did you choose me?" Also, the Li family you are talking about is the line of Tang Guogong Li Yuan, what is the secret in it, from the beginning? ”

This problem is very real, the history books said that when the king was prosperous, the heroes gathered to follow each other, but it was just a far-fetched whitewash for future generations.

"Yes, my father is known as a scholar and is good at observing the world's heroes. Five years ago, I met Li Mi, who had traveled to Boling, and asserted that he was as talented as a dragon and could be the lord of the world. It's just that he found that he has a trace of weakness, that is, his will is not strong enough. Therefore, giving him the word Dharma Master is to let him self-denial and self-cultivation, follow the example of Chen Baxian, the master of Nan Chen Ying, and be indomitable. It's a pity that his people really lack resilience, and they run away after the first failure. With such a character, how can you conspire to do great things? ”

I didn't pay attention to this at the time, and it wasn't until I thought about it again and again from my own experience that I suddenly opened my mouth.

Cui Luo recalled the past and slowly came.

After listening, Gao Si was speechless for a long time, and said disapprenorovingly: "Hmph, the legend of the Mandate of Heaven, it is indeed so." ”

With the strength of his right hand, the blade of the sword was on Cui Luo's neck, and he still didn't let go.

"Li Mi, let's not talk about it for the time being. But Li Yuan's name, how could you not have heard of it? To fight for the world, there must be three difficulties. First, it is difficult to be in the sky, and those who are not in time are in vain even if they are heroes. The two, the difficulty of the land, and those who have no foundation, only need to defeat and the great cause will collapse. The three are difficult for people, and the ultimate thing we want is a group where there are individual heroes! ”

Cui Luo laughed, and then bowed solemnly: "I have a personal enmity with Li Yuan, and I will never go along." The reason why I said these words before was not to deliberately blame, but to strengthen the ambition of the lord, the more difficult, the more courageous, without going through the tribulations of life and death, how can you become a dragon and a tiger? ”

"I don't have the heart to plot the world, why are you so tempted?"

"Lord ......" Cui Luo raised his head sharply, looked directly at Gao Si, and said in a heavy tone: "If you still think that I have two hearts, just kill someone with a sword." After saying that, he closed his eyes and waited for the final verdict.

Gao Si swung his sword and slashed, coming to his neck, but the edge reversed and collected the killing opportunity.

"Since you want to work together with the conspiracy to achieve great things, and with the team moving here, the world is in turmoil, and we must prepare early. The key is the lack of food for the winter. ”

"The lord is relieved, and there is a good plan. Yecheng is the hometown of the Northern Qi Dynasty, although Gao Qi died, but there are many people who remember Qi Shenwu Gao Huan, which can be used. The lord's surname is also Gao, and his experience is similar to Gao Huan, coupled with his courage and good fighting, as long as there is the word of Gao Qi's restoration of the country, there will be heroes to vote. We can then collect grain and grass, and raise troops in the fields, so that the times will change. ”

"Build high walls, accumulate grain, and slow to become king. I know that the key is how to spend it now? ”

"This is a true plan for the country, Cui Luo can meet the lord, how fortunate he is. As for grain and grass, in Xiangzhou, not far from Yecheng, there are heroes of the Xue family, with a long-term vision, and the matter of paying grain is on them.

As for the safety of the two housewives, a certain old friend in Guanzhong can pass on the news, and within two months, he can come here to meet the lord. ”

Gao Si showed surprise and emotion, hurriedly put away his sword, looked at the Cui family's outcast again, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said solemnly: "Cui Luo, you are a caring person." In a matter of strategizing, my difficulties were solved. In the future, if the great cause is successful, you will be my Zhang Zifang. Rest assured, a certain will never disappoint his followers. ”

"My lord, I will definitely assist you in achieving great things." Cui Luo was also overjoyed and vowed.

Gao Si took him down the mountain, and said: "Now that everyone has basically settled down, the following is the period of acceptance of clearing the wasteland and farming." These days, when everyone has built their houses, you will go and prepare the food. ”

"My subordinates understand." Cui Luo followed.

On the way, Gao Si paused and said, "When you go out, pay attention to safety." This matter can't be done by other rough people, and I'm ready to let Hu Sizheng be your assistant. He has been a squire in the military department and has dealt with all kinds of people, so at least there will be no problems with safety in the short term. In the future, then, the sky fights for the dragon, each according to his ability! ”

"Yes. I need Wang Boren as a guard. Cui Xiao pondered for a moment and then responded.

In the valley, most of the people had already gotten up and started to get busy under the leadership of their own leaders.

"Wang Boren, you are a rough billet, and you still haven't gotten up on a woman's belly? Get out! Gao Si shouted angrily.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Wang Boren came out of Wu Jianxian's thatched hut in a panic.

The crowd burst into laughter, but it brought a ray of life to this desolate land.
