Chapter Eighty-Six: In the Dark, There Is Heaven's Will

Chapter 86 In the dark, there is a providence

The Li family is one of the most prominent families in China.

In the Sui and Tang dynasties, which were the most prosperous after the formation of the family, there were five surnames and seven wangzhi, Li, Cui, Lu, Zheng, and Wang.

Among them, the surname Li occupies two hopes, one is the Li family of Longxi, and the other is the Li family of Zhaojun.

And these two Li clans are descendants of Gaotao, one of the four saints of ancient times.

Gaotao is the four ancient saints with Yao, Shun and Dayu, who were in charge of the law in the Xia Dynasty, and set up the "Five Punishments" for the Xia Dynasty, using the unicorn and the pig as a symbol of prison and law.

Li and Li Gu characters are connected, and later the descendants of Gaotao used the official name as the surname, first for the reason, until the Shang Dynasty Emperor Xin period, or the descendants of the surname Li have been serving as the official.

The governor of the Di Xin period was expelled from the court song by Di Xin and fled, and picked plums on the way to satisfy hunger, and later changed his surname to Li in order to take refuge, settled in Longxi, and took the plum tree as the surname totem, and the heir's house must plant plum trees.

Later, there was a great figure in the Li family, Daozu Li Er.

Li Er's son Li Zong served as the doctor of Wei, his grandson Li Tong served as the general of Zhao State, and his great-grandson Li Dui was also the minister of Zhao State, and together with Su Qin, he completed the plan of attacking Qin together.

Later, because King Zhao was jealous of Li Dui, he was deposed of the position of Xiangguo, and Li Dui's great-grandson Li Hong was later called the Taifu of Qin, and since then the Li family has taken root in Qin, and belongs to the top noble level in Qin, and each generation has a marquis.

Li Hong's great-grandson, Li Tan, gave birth to four sons, Chong (Li Chong), Bian, Zhao, and Ji (Li Ji). Chong is the Longxi room, and Ji is the Zhao County room.

It is the ancestor of the famous Li clan in later generations.

It is a large family that has been accumulating since ancient times.

But there seems to be an irresistible factor of prosperity and decline, and this huge family does not seem to have good luck starting from Li Xin.

Born in such an excellent family, the pressure of the current head of the family has always been great.

Li Xin's grandfather is Li Chong, the Taishou of Longxi of Qin, and the Duke of Zhengnan of Fengnan.

His father is Li Yao, the Taishou of the Southern County of Qin, and the Marquis of Feng Di.

Originally, when he became an adult, it should be logical for him to start the marquis, but after the Shang Dynasty changed the law, it became something that the nobles had to use military merits to achieve, and the previous feudal system of the father and the son disappeared all of a sudden.

Especially after Yingzheng ascended the throne, there were many rebellions of feudal marquis, which made feudal marquis a taboo topic.

If you want to be a marquis and continue to continue the glory of the family, you must show real skills.

Li Xin is a person with real skills, not only talented, but also young and frivolous, when Yingzheng and Wang Jian were in the game, he acted as the best conciliator, became the youngest commander general of the empire, and went to the state of Chu.

Li Xin thought it was a glorious inheritance, completely unaware that bad luck was haunting him, and when he was about to conquer Xiang Yan's army, Changping Jun rebelled and defected, so that Li Xin's army was defeated like a mountain, not only lost the merit of the feudal marquis that had been obtained, but also greatly reduced the image in front of Ying Zheng.

In the following years, Li Xin has not been reused, and this time he followed Wang Ben to the Yan Kingdom, but he only served as a pioneer officer, wanting to save some face.

But fate played a joke on him, and he once again became a pawn in the game between King Qin and the Wang family.

It's just that Li Xin didn't realize this, he just simply thought that Wang Ben was jealous of his talent, and was afraid that he would replace him as a general after he turned over in the first battle.

Therefore, Li Xin would rather take the risk of disobeying military orders, but also preserve his strength and wait for an opportunity to move.

He has always been very conceited about his military talents, and once said in vain that after Wu Anjun's death, among the generals of the six countries, only Meng Tian could fight with him, as for Wang Ben, he didn't pay attention to it at all.

Therefore, when Wang Ben proposed to let him bring 3,000 cavalry to block Donghu from entering Pinggang Road, he would not hesitate to take this task.

If he knew that Donghu was menacing and that the Qin army was not weak in terms of combat power, he would not have been so reckless in saying anything.

But now it's too late to regret it, and he can only hope that Donghu people's brains are not very good and can make his desperate strategy go smoothly.

After collecting the wounded soldiers and hiding in the woods, Li Xin lurked like a poisonous snake, waiting for an opportunity to move.

The Donghu people moved very slowly, and only crossed Pinggang Road after three days, but they did not choose to continue forward, but continued to camp, as if waiting for something.

Seeing that the wounded soldiers were gradually weakened one by one because they could not get help and adequate food supplies, Li Xin knew that his plan had failed, but he was not reconciled.

So he divided his troops into two ways, selected a thousand elite horsemen to fight the last time, and the rest retreated to the south, if he failed and couldn't come back, these people would find their own way out, as long as they didn't return to Qin, it shouldn't be a problem to survive.

In addition to being a little conceited, Li Xin is still very attentive to the soldiers under his command, which may be the tradition of the Li family, and the heirs of later generations, whether it is Li Guang, Li Kang, Li Ling, or even Li Wei, the king of Xiliang Wuzhao, who posthumously recognized him as his ancestor, and Li Shimin, Taizong, etc., are all known for loving soldiers like sons.

Seeing the backs of the more than 1,000 wounded soldiers heading south along this unknown river, Li Xin's eyes were full of compassion, and he clenched the spear in his hand and said sadly: "Is it really going to be the death of the sky, my Li Xin!" ”

"Do you remember the advice that Lu Sheng swore to give you before leaving?" Li Qi, whose face was pale, suddenly remembered something, and Jiao Sheng asked.

Li Xin, whose face was full of sadness, was stunned, a trace of discoloration flashed in his dimmed eyes, and after groping in the armor that had been condensed with blood paint, he finally found a 'bag' from the heart goggles.

This bag is very good to the touch, and it is completely transparent, and it does not look like a mortal thing at a glance, and after getting it at that time, Li Xin was convinced of the identity of Lu Shengxian's sworn aath.

At this point, this tip will be his last straw.

The movement reverently and gently opened the bag, and the transparent bag made a 'rustling' sound, like fairy music.

Carefully took out the palm-sized, unusually tactile silk inside, Li Xin saw the words on it, his pupils instantly shrank, and a crazy smile appeared on his face.

Seeing the general laughing like this, the soldiers who were already determined to die were also inexplicably ignited a glimmer of hope.

"Brothers, when the time comes, we will attack the Donghu camp at night, not to kill the enemy, but to set fire! Each person was equipped with three rockets, and after three volleys, they ran south to join He Kuan and them. Li Xin laughed at the soldiers.

"General, if it spreads like this, our reputation will be ruined." An adjutant general said with a strange face.

"Ben General has a book of heaven prophecy in his hand, and the mountain people have their own clever plan!" Li Xin snorted coldly, carefully put away the chic bag, and put it back into the heart goggles, with a relieved smile on his face.

'If it doesn't work out, travel thousands of miles away, plan things in people, and make things happen in heaven.' ’

Sixteen words swirled in his mind, and he thought that this was an instruction from God to him on this expedition through Lu Sheng's hand.

I don't want to admit myself at all, and I don't want to be loyal to the country.

If Wang Xu was here, he would definitely be able to recognize this bag, which he gave to Tu Tan before leaving, and that bag was a plastic bag stump.

I didn't expect it to be reused by Tu Tan.

Maybe in the dark, there is really a providence?

.............

Even as a king from the world of science and technology two thousand years later, he knows that there are still many supernatural phenomena in the world.

Scientists call these phenomena the problem of high waiting to be solved.

Philosophers call this the Tao.

Theologians call this a 'miracle.'

And Wang Xu is doing something to integrate these things together.

The Divine Codex.

He has been compiling the process, using the materials in the notebook, adding the combination of myths and stories, and then integrating the core values of socialism into a beautiful and simple fable.

As the main foundation for enlightenment, maintaining social order, and stabilizing the three views.

Piety, fear, and hope are the main themes of this book.

Piety builds credibility.

Fear creates deterrence.

Hope can satisfy people's fantasies, commonly known as painting cakes.

Only by combining these three factors can the role of this book not go in any strange direction.

In order to brainwash these Lan Jiajun who have been servile to the bone marrow, Wang Xu spent two days instilling the spiritual chicken soup of 'suffering is to meet a better future' into the Lan Jiajun.

And put it into the mythical story of Yi Yin.

In the myth of Yi Yin, Yi Yin's hardships when he was a slave were all the blessings he accumulated in order to meet Shang Tang, and the image of Yi Yin was compared to the later Confucian beautification, and then beautified to a higher level, becoming a perfect sage image who knows how to repay his kindness, works hard, and worries about the world.

So there is no doubt that Yi Yin has become the faith of the Lan Gang army.

The first thing I do when I get up every morning is to recite the story of Yi Yin with devotion to the side, and then pray to the emperor, and participate in training and work with full of energy.

I have to say that in just a few days, the state of the originally lifeless Lan Gang army is a change that is visible to the naked eye, and it is changing.

Although they were so weak that they were already pale after twenty sit-ups, their spirits were always in a state of fullness.

Wang Xu is very satisfied with this change.

He didn't expect these soldiers to become normal people, but at least they had to become emotional.

"The worries of the world are worried." Listening to the training slogans of the Lan soldiers in the square, Wang Xu felt that it was worth racking his brains to make up stories.
