Prequel: The Widow Has a Disease Chapter 38, The Battle of Fuling
In the 24 years since King Lihe, wars have broken out all over the world, and the Central Plains countries have been conquering endlessly, and Liangzhou has not stopped.
The Three Kingdoms of Liangzhou have always had fewer exchanges than the other eight states, although they all respect Li Tianzi as the co-ruler of the world, but the descendants of the Li family are still like this, and the Three Kingdoms of Liangzhou are naturally more distant as they were conquered by force.
Liangzhou has always had only a civil war, and a hundred years ago there were endless wars between Bashu and Shu; A hundred years ago, the five ethnic groups were divided, and it was also a civil war; Citrus and Qi divided the country, and jointly resisted the Shu Kingdom for hundreds of years; As for today, the friendship between Mandarin and Qi capsizes as fishermen compete for fish.
In the autumn of the twenty-third year of King Lihe, it was the autumn harvest, and the three kingdoms temporarily ceased war, turned their troops into farmers, and took advantage of the agricultural time to grab this year's autumn harvest.
The people, after the husband, and then edify. The more the war went, the tighter this ration became.
There are Husai and Qiang invaders in the north of Shu, and it is difficult to take care of the land in eastern Sichuan for a while, so they are naturally willing to make a truce; The two countries of Fang and Qi, it was not easy to fight with Shu in the west all the year round, and there was an internal fight, and the people's will and national strength were not enough to support another war, so the short peace of the three kingdoms of Liangzhou lasted until the spring of the twenty-fifth year of King Lihe.
Although Liangzhou is said to be located in the southwest corner of the world, it is not peaceful, there is Qi in the north, Chu in the east, Shu in the west, and Nanban in the south, and it is also the land of four wars.
Although the two countries of Qi and Qi were rebuilt, Qi Zi's northern expedition to Huoquanguan was like a knife in the heart of Qi State. Chaiyi's doctor Hao Meng was ordered to be in danger, showing a good strategy, burning the fang army, and between the two countries, he finally rebuilt himself.
The water of the Tongjiang River is still reluctant to flow eastward day and night, but today's water is not yesterday's.
The old King Qi died of illness, the son Siqi ascended the throne, and the temple of Qiguo changed the sky. If the prince was assigned to Babei Xiaoyi, Sima Wu did not go into hiding, Hao Meng, who was originally a broken scholar, was not only not held accountable for killing Zheng Xiu, the doctor of Wucheng, but was ordered to enter the big Sima in danger.
In the battle of Huoquan Pass, he was originally an inconsequential weed, but he tripped over the male master of the Mandarin State, so he grew crazy in the past year and a half, and grew into a towering tree.
If it weren't for the fisherman's dispute, maybe he would still be content with the identity of the doctor of Chaiyi, and he would be able to worry about food and clothing no matter how dilapidated he was.
God opened a back door for this broken scholar doctor, so he turned into a chess piece, maybe he wasn't even a chess piece before, but now he recklessly broke into the chess piece of Liangzhou.
Although there is a word "generation", it does not prevent him from officially entering the game.
In the first battle, he was frustrated. is worthy of the shock of Liangzhou, Hao Meng can't get any benefit in Jiang Wangshu's hands.
In the past, there was no way in the Yu Dynasty, and King Wen inherited the will of heaven, enlightened the people, and cut down Yu. The two sides are fighting each other, and King Wen wins the world.
The previous dynasty did not, King Wen read that the prince of the previous dynasty was virtuous, gave the earl, and the fief Nanjing.
Two hundred years ago, Nanjing perished, and the state of Chu came into being in the wasteland of Nanjing.
More than 100 years ago, Chu Xiaobo ascended the throne, took the old land of Nanjing, was recognized by the Li family, and gave the earl.
After filial piety, the Chu Dynasty replaced the Ming Jun, expanded the land to the Han River, then to the river, and then to the Yuanshui.
Xiong Ran is the seventh generation, and he is also the Ming Jun, who expanded to Nanling, and the territory is unprecedentedly vast.
Seven generations of kings have opened the mountains and forests with blue wisps on the road, and they have worn the stars and the moon to open the river.
Xiong Ran was more virtuous than his ancestors, reusing the seedlings of peasant saints, cultivating water conservancy, inventing waterwheels, and diverting water for irrigation. Promote improved varieties and end the history of the Chu people feeding on millet; Widely planted mulberry hemp, summer can shelter the body, winter can keep out the cold.
Mr. Min, then raised. Among the hundred schools, Xiong Ran is the most important farmer, since Xiaobolai, Chu has gone from slash-and-burn farming to bone sickle, stone tools, and then bronze tools, and now it is cultivated with iron farm tools, and Chu raises people, ten times that of filial piety. There are virtuous kings and sages giving orders, and there are Chu people cultivating and weaving, can Chu Guoyan be strong?
Xiong Ran reused the sage Mu Er of the Zongheng family, and paid tribute to the Li room, and was respectful; Lobbying the countries of the Central Plains and praising the prosperity of the Central Plains, the humble attitude flattered the countries of the Central Plains.
The art of vertical and horizontal has always been despised by the world, and it is the last among the hundreds of sons. Muer lobbied the countries of the Central Plains, respected and depreciated himself, and the princes of the Central Plains were still immersed in the wonderful lies woven by Muer, only thinking that Chu was full of thorns and poisonous miasma.
Jiao and Meng are bordering the state of Chu, and they don't know how they don't know the richness of the state of Chu. It's just that Chu has always had no offense with the two countries, that is, Song, Chu, Meng, and Jiao, and Chu also tried his best to persuade them, so as to avoid the disaster of the destruction of the two countries.
The countries of the Central Plains are even more unimpressed, if the Chu State is strong, how can it tolerate the two countries of Meng and Jiao?
Xiong Ran doesn't conquer? Xiong Ran has never stopped conquering, and he has expanded his land more than the six ancestors combined, but Chuduo is the land of the southern expedition to Baiyue, and the land of Baiyue is not Kyushu in the world, and it is thousands of miles away from the Central Plains.
There was Wu and Yue in the east of Chu State, and there was little friction on the border, but Xiong Ran tried his best to avoid fighting Wu and Yue. Xiong Ran's heart is just to let Wu Yue and the clams compete with each other, so as to sit and reap the benefits.
How could Wu and Vietnam not know? The strong enemy is on the side, and he does not dare to be unguarded. However, for Wu Yue, he must first settle the inside, and would rather let the Chu State reap the benefits than lose to the other party.
Chu did not go on a northern expedition, but only went to the other three realms to negotiate. Wu Yue didn't care about it for the time being, and Baiyue was difficult to educate, so he needed to go step by step, so he focused on the western realm. The country of Fang in the west has the benefits of salt water springs, and Xiong Ran has coveted it for a long time.
In the spring of the twenty-fifth year of King Lihe, Wu Shengfu of Chu led an army of 100,000 to attack Fuling based on Qianzhong.
At the same time, Xiong Ran asked Muer to go to Qi to lobby, and the intention of annexing the Fang State was clearly revealed.
Qianzhong was originally the territory of the Mandarin Kingdom, and it was plundered by Chu a few years ago. Now that the soldiers of Chu are in Fuling, the people of the capital are panicking.
King Xiang Xi sent Fan Di to lead the army to aid Fuling, and summoned the temple royal family. The Ba clan in the west was stationed in Basan, and the Guiba rushed back to the capital. The Taifu of the Ri Qin clan in the north, the Taishi Qing Bo of the Xiang clan in the south, the Taibao Qizi of the Fan clan in the east, and the Hou Jiang Wangshu of the Tongjiang River returned to the capital one by one.
Whether it is Shu or Qi, they are unable to annex the fang. And the state of Chu may not be, Chu had the leisure to take Guizhou when he was in the south to conquer Baiyue before, and now Wu Shengfu is in Fuling by mistake, which is related to the national fortune and cannot be lost.
"Wang, Chu has a martial saint who is wrong, and there are 100,000 troops, for the sake of today's plan, peace should be negotiated." Qi Zi spoke. Qi Zi experienced the battle of Huoquan Pass, but after all, he still served old age. Even the Qi Kingdom can't settle down, and fighting with Chu is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. lost his son late, and now his younger brother Fan Di is guarding Fuling again, he really can't bear to watch Fan Di die.
Old and knowing the destiny of heaven is exactly that.
Qi Zi's words caused a cold snort from Ba Chuang. Ba Chuang was already dissatisfied with Qi Zi's interference in military power and arrogance in commanding the Battle of Huoquanling, but today he was seen cowering and sarcastic: "Qianzhong has been lost, and if you let Fuling again, it is better to give up the capital of Fang."
"Exactly," Taishi Qingbo glanced at Qi Zi with deep meaning, sympathetic and a little disdainful, "Da Fang doesn't let an inch of land, and the old minister thinks that he will guard Fuling first, and then collect Qianzhong." ”
"There is no doubt that you will lose and fight, the courage of the horseman," Qi Zi still wanted to argue, but it was difficult to scream alone, so he had to put down Yugui and sighed, "Wang, the old minister is tired." ”
Yugui was originally a token given by Li Tianzi to the princes and used for the princes' worship.
After Dali moved the capital from Luoyi to Lidu, he gradually lost his control over the princes of the world, and Yugui also became a token of the princes' secretaries and scholars.
The citrus land naturally also holds the court, which is etiquette and identity. The three princes are in charge of Yugui, Qing is in charge of Tonggui, and Shidafu is in charge of Zhugui.
To let go of Yugui is to let go of the identity of the Taibao and the burden on your shoulders.
The Son of Heaven is worshiped by the world, so the affairs of the Son of Heaven are the affairs of the world; The princes are worshiped by a country, so the affairs of the princes are the affairs of a country; Scholars, doctors, and scholars are worshiped in one place, so the affairs of the secretaries are the affairs of one place.
Put it down, just two words, just ten strokes, if you really want to put it down, how easy is it to talk about?
"Taibao!" King Xiang Xi burst into tears, Qi Zi was a pillar minister of the Fang State, and he had served the country and the people all his life, so Xiang Xi allowed him to lead the troops to take revenge, so Xiang Xi did not blame the defeat of the army.
"Wang, my brother Fan Di, if you don't die in this battle, you can be the Taibao." After Qi Zi finished explaining, the five bodies fell to the ground, and they said goodbye three times. Qi Zi's back was thin, his steps staggered, and he walked out of the temple of the Fang Kingdom.
In the temple of the Tongguo Kingdom, Acacia is a young master, Fan Tu is a young guard, but there is no young master, because there is no successor to the Ri Qin family.
Qi Zi can be far away from the rivers and lakes from now on, and he doesn't have to worry about his king. However, the temple and the scholars cannot, and Fuling is already in a hurry, and there is no room for delay.
"Wang, Jiang Hou is brave and can fight." Uncle Qing felt that he might offend Ri Qin Boxian, but things that offend people always have to be done, Qi Zi has left, and no one dares to do it except him.
Ri Qin Boxian's face did not change, who would dare to fight with his husband except Jiang Hou? Don't say that Da Citrus is Liangzhou, and there are few people in the world.
Jiang Wangshu had to fight, because he was Jiang Hou, and he was worshiped in one place.
"Wang, Wangshu will naturally go to Fuling," Ri Qin Boxian said, "The Ri Tan clan is now leaving only the old minister, and the old minister asks for the position of young master for Wangshu." ”
The two brothers of Riqin Boxian, the only son under his knees died fighting for the country, and only his son-in-law Jiang Wangshu can be entrusted, this request is too much, but not too much.
Xiang Xi nodded without thinking: "Good, the lonely king has agreed, and worship Jiang Hou as the young master."
Fu led 100,000 soldiers from Guizhou, and the soldiers came to Fuling. How can a small city stop the 100,000 soldiers of the Chu State, Fuling, and the husband is bound to win.
Fu Cuo naturally has his pride, how many martial saints are there in the world? There are few martial saints in the world. Don't say that Fuling is just a few things, even if he is in the world, he will hardly meet an opponent.
Fan Di was ordered to defend Fuling, the defenders of Fuling were less than 20,000, although there was a geographical advantage, but Fuling was not a strong city, the Chu army attacked the city for two days, and Fuling was already in danger.
When Jiang Wangshu rushed to Fuling, Fuling had been broken, and the 20,000 Chu army was in close contact with the Fang army.
"How many people did Jiang Hou bring?" When Fan Di saw the reinforcements coming, he wiped his face, and it was full of blood. Fan Di has always loved cleanliness, and how tragic it is for him to wipe the blood on his face regardless of it.
"More than 20,000." Jiang Wangshu didn't have time to reminisce about the past, so he drew his sword and entered the battlefield.
There are eight famous (river crabs) in the world, and one of them is in the country of Citrus, which is the star chasing in the hands of Jiang Hou.
The eight famous names in the world (instruments), when He Tianzi married Ri Qin Xiaocui, the daughter of Ri Qin Boxian, he once took the famous sword chasing stars as a heavy gift. The famous sword chasing stars naturally fell on Jiang Wangshu, the son-in-law of Ritan Boxian.
The last time Fan Di saw chasing stars, it was Jiang Wangshu seven years ago in eastern Sichuan and the famous Shu general Luo Du fell, and the fall of Luo Du, who was unparalleled in Shu in that battle, established the invincible prestige of Jianghou Liangzhou.
The world is shocking, and the shuriken chases the stars.
The defenders of Fuling were already inferior in numbers, and after two days of fighting, they were already exhausted and had shown a decline. Jiang Wangshu led the troops to join the battlefield, and for a time the morale of the Jiang army was high, but the Chu army was defeated and retreated.
Jiang Wangshu is chasing stars in his hand, as if he has entered a no-man's land, no one dares to attack him.
Across the Wujiang River, Fu Cuo and a dry Chu River overlook the river. Although the Chu army was defeated and retreated, Fu Cuo still stood like an old pine, but it was still difficult to hide the fighting spirit. This martial saint of the Chu State finally met a reluctant opponent.
The husband is lonely. Young people joined the army, conquered Baiyue, and fought with Baiyue people with strength. Later, Fu Cuo is no longer a reckless man who can only brute force, and he is no longer a pawn on the battlefield, and he uses his skills to defeat the enemy, and he feels that Baiyue people are not enough. Five years ago, my husband grew from a centurion to a martial saint, and he completely lost interest in conquering Baiyue.
The invincible husband of Chu went all the way to Luoyi to find Miao to play the sword, but to no avail. Later, when he learned that Miao Ku had passed away, he wholeheartedly encouraged Xiong Ran to cut down the fangs.
He doesn't care about the benefits of salt water springs in the citrus country, what he cares about is that there is a Jianghou in the citrus land, who is known as the first in Liangzhou.
"What do you think of Jiang Hou?" The corner of the husband's mouth smiled.
"A small country and a widow are like a pond full of shrimp, and there is only one big fish, but Erer." Chu Jiang Du Ruo replied.
"Du Ruo, it's a pity that you are a man." Chu General Cai Shu teased.
Du Ruo has a well-proportioned body and a fair complexion, and he really doesn't look like a person in the army. However, it was this white-faced scholar who was the best among the Chu generals, and his husband mistakenly claimed that he was expected to become holy.
Cai Shu dared to tease Du Ruo, only thinking that Du Ruo was famous for his good temper, coupled with both civil and military skills, he was the sweetheart of many girls in Chudi.
"I'm tired of eating dried shrimp, and occasionally I see big fish, which is also a gluttonous feast." The husband made a mistake and waded along the pontoon bridge to the Wujiang River to the foot of Fuling City.
With Jiang Wangshu joining the battlefield, the Fang army reversed the situation, held this wave of offensive, and drove all the Chu troops out of Fuling.
Jiang Wangshu didn't dare to relax, he naturally saw his husband's mistake. Jiang Wangshu didn't know if his husband was wrong, but his battle-hardened intuition told him that the man opposite him with a halberd in his hand and a heavy sword at his waist was dangerous.
Fu Cuo also looked at Jiang Wangshu with interest from a distance of a hundred steps. I have heard for a long time that Jianghou Liangzhou is the first, in the final analysis, he is still not a martial saint, he is a layman after all, and he is just a bigger fish.
He likes to fish and often goes fishing alone in his spare time. At the moment, he was like a seasoned angler, waiting leisurely for the fish to be baited, and even had a moment to rest.
Fu Cuo has never been waiting to see those sages and talented people who are crepe-like, these people are the most sophistry, saying that anglers are indifferent to fame and fortune, and they are not anglers, how do you know?
The husband was not the most seasoned angler, so he always showed fanaticism when the fish was about to be baited. The husband was fortunate to see an old angler in Daze, shaped like dry bones, dripping water and hiberning for a day and a night. It's a pity that the husband waited for a day and a night and didn't wait for the fish to bite the hook.
Experienced anglers are the top hunters, what is indifferent to fame and fortune, it is all nonsense, the surface is not shocked, and the stomach is filled with bad water, more than Daze.
Fu Cuo was not the top angler, but it was enough, and he quietly waited for Jiang Wangshu to reveal his flaws.
In the face of the Martial Saint, no one can be calm, once he is holy, he will have the power of the Heavenly Dao, and the flesh is mortal, and the difference between the two is cloudy and muddy.
Fuling ruined city, 30,000 Mandarin children stood with their backs to the city, the most green one, and the chin was green.
Jiang Wangshu stood at the front with his sword in his arms, maybe the light was too bright, and his right eyelid couldn't stop beating. The left eye jumps wealth, and the right eye jumps disaster. Jiang Wangshu has never believed in ghosts and gods, he only believes in himself.
He lost his mother at the age of three and his father at the age of five, just like a humble dogtail grass that breaks as long as the wind blows. It's a pity that this dogtail grass should not be extinct, and it will grow to the age of twelve. At the age of twelve, he began to practice martial arts, hoping to join the army and eat a full meal.
Fifteen-year-old Bashan had a vicious tiger hurting people, Jiang Wangshu unveiled the notice, went up the mountain to fight the tiger, and was appreciated by Bayang's doctor Bachang.
This dogtail grass was still stocked in the barren soil for fifteen years, and when it came across the fertile soil, instinct drove him to frantically absorb all the nutrients, learn literature, and also practice martial arts.
No one expected that this person who had been holding back for a long time to piece together "Why should Qingfeng stay in people, let me swim in the clouds and rain." The grass will actually grow into the umbrella of the entire big orange.
"Husband." Cai Shu looked at her husband, her eyes burning.
Of course, the husband knows Cai Shu's thoughts, Cai Shu has and only has two hobbies, one is a beauty, and the other is a hero.
It's okay, let Cai Shu test it, if Jiang Hou is just a waste of fame, he doesn't want to make a move. Martial Saint, naturally has the arrogance of Martial Saint.
Cai Shu received the order, and the horizontal knife immediately stepped forward, shouting: "I am the butcher knife Cai Shu, Jiang Wangshu came out to be punished."
Cai Shu was originally a butcher, but because he killed someone by mistake, he was arrested, and he killed four Ding Yong halfway, and his husband was wrongly appreciated. This butcher kills pigs all year round, has a clear understanding of the structure of bones and muscles, is invincible on the battlefield, and has a notorious name for being called a butcher's knife.
Jiang Wangshu didn't bother to talk to him, drew his sword and got on the horse, and went straight to Cai Shu. Cai Shu still wanted to fight, but when he saw Jiang Wangshu menacing, he had to draw his knife to resist.
Cai Shu used a butcher knife to dance the beauty of a foil, either towards the waist and abdomen, or directly to the heart.
Jiang Wangshu chased the stars in his hand and saw the moves, he couldn't talk about swordsmanship, and he didn't rely on brute force, so he didn't fall behind for a while.
Fu Cuo only felt strange, since this Jiang Wangshu was the first in Liangzhou, no matter how difficult he was under his fame, he shouldn't even master the skills. Although Cai Shu has a notoriety for butchering knives, after all, he is just a butcher who has mastered the skills of carving insects, and he can't get into it.
"That's all you can do?" Cai Shu pushed Jiang Wangshu away and sneered.
"Kill you, single-handedly." Jiang Wangshu's momentum rose suddenly, and he changed to his left hand and his right hand behind his right hand, and rode the horse forward.
Cai Shu only thought that Jiang Wangshu was bluffing, and the butcher knife in his hand slashed away, he had already seen the scene of Jiang Wangshu being broken by him, and the famous Jinghong was about to become his soul under the knife.
Jiang Wangshu's three swords were like stars, connected into a line, and came out one after another. Cai Shu saw a flash of starlight, and the knife in his hand had not yet fallen, and he had already fallen to the ground.
Chu will butcher Cai Shu, fall.
