Chapter 321: A Trip to Jiaozhou (26)
The swordsmanship is extremely powerful, and this largely depends on the sharpness of the longsword itself.
Compared to fists or blunt weapons, a sword or knife is extremely sharp, and can easily scratch or stab an opponent without using too much force. The same is true of the history of the development of human weapons, from stone tools to polished stone tools, from bronze weapons to iron weapons, from cold weapons to hot weapons, the development of weapons always has a tendency to increase in power, it can be said that the history of the development of weapons is also the history of human research on how to kill and injure the same kind more conveniently and effectively.
Because of the great lethality of sharp weapons such as long swords, it is very popular, so many martial arts masters have made extraordinary achievements in the moves of this weapon throughout the ages. Because of the increased sharpness of the blade, it has a lower threshold for use. There is a saying in later generations that a bullet fired from the hand of a 14-year-old child is as lethal as a bullet fired from the hand of an adult, and if a sharp sword is used, as long as the angle of entry is right, a 14-year-old child can also cause great lethality, which is the result of the progress of weapons. This is also the reason why Japanese swordsmanship today does not place too much emphasis on strength.
Undoubtedly, power also includes explosiveness and staying power. It is bound to be difficult to use extremely powerful power too frequently, and Wang Yue is now facing such a situation.
Without the support of the inner family's breathing and breathing method, his explosive attack is tantamount to fishing for all his own life and killing himself.
Seeing that Wang Yue's moves were becoming more and more sluggish, Guo Bin knew that the situation was not good. But now that Wang Yue is present after all, he has neither ended nor spoken out for help, how can Guo Bin make a claim and act arbitrarily? This is not to save him, but to harm him. If Guo Bin really intervened before Wang Yue opened his mouth, it would be a big loss of face in front of this crowd, and he would look down on him. Besides, if Guo Bin makes a move, it will be two enemies and one, that is, he will kill Wu Luan on the spot, and he will also have a reputation for being outnumbered, which will increase his popularity.
Guo Bin held the Xuanlong Spear in the palm of his hand, cold sweat broke out, two of his own side have been injured, and they have no ability to fight for the time being, plus Shi Xie is also seriously injured and has not recovered, if Wang Yue is injured under Wu Luan again at this time, who else in this Shifu can preside over the overall situation? Although the Central Plains Qunhao is attached to the Shifu, they are mostly unruly, if the Shi family suffers a big loss in front of the occupancy, and there is no strength to suppress everyone, I am afraid that these people will rise up first.
Now these hundreds of heroes can still be restrained in the Shifu, but if they are chaotic and let them scatter in Jiaozhou and ignore them, then Jiaozhou will inevitably be in chaos, that is, Zhu Fu will organize a large army to appease the place, I am afraid that it will also attract troops from Linyi to invade, and at that time, things will really be big.
Thinking of this, Guo Bin suddenly felt that his brain hurt. I didn't expect this section earlier, but now I found out at the end of the day that the Shi family is really a pillar of existence in Jiaozhou. Once the Shi family falls, then the entire Jiaozhou will be in chaos, and the imperial court whip will be out of reach, and it is unknown whether Jiaozhou can still be one of the thirteen states of the Han family.
Since becoming an official, whether it is going north to crack down on ethnic minorities or exterminating the Yellow Turban Army, Guo Bin has been working hard to maintain the authority of the central government, that is, to stabilize the situation in the world. This is not only the moral constraint of the so-called "food of the king, the matter of loyalty to the king", but also to win more time for the development of Yingchuan County. To put it further, it is to maintain national unity, in order to prevent the so-called Wuhu chaos from occurring, and to strangle the imminent great crisis of the Han nation's extinction in the cradle.
However, along the way, Guo Bin struggled forward, not only to fight against the Yellow Turban Army within the Han people, but also against the Huns, Xianbei people, and even Qiang people who were entrenched outside the fortress, and even to fight against the entire decadent and declining Eastern Han court. He knew that the collapse of the imperial court did not deserve his sympathy in the slightest, and he also knew that even Liu Hong, who was the noble son of heaven, was helpless in many decisions: either due to financial pressure, or military pressure, or to the need for political struggle to ensure authority and maintain the balance of power between the various factions in the DPRK and China.
And many of the decisions that seem to be the best choices at this point in time, or even the trend of the times. However, once it is from a historical point of view, it is a lifeline that promotes the collapse of the country. From today's point of view, in order to save financial expenditures and peacefully extinguish the Yellow Turban Rebellion that sprung up in various places, strengthen the power of local wealthy clans, and even change the history of thorns to state pastors, and give them legal military power, although it is indeed the trend of the times (because it is promoted by the powerful in various places), for the Eastern Han court, it is tantamount to drinking water to quench thirst.
Although Guo Bin is clear in his heart, he is already in the game, how can he really jump out of the game? In any respect, he Guo Bin is the general representative of the local heroes and powers in Yingchuan, and he is also a pilot project for the imperial court to carry out local political system reform and strengthen local military strength, and he has reasonable and legitimate reasons to enhance his own political, economic, and even military strength. Although this system reform to strengthen the local county guards and even the power of the wealthy clan will indeed bring harm to the centralization of power, isn't Guo Bin's efforts after his rebirth precisely for this?
Without Guo Bin, Yingchuan County would quickly become a battlefield ravaged by the Yellow Turban Army, and neither the Yingchuan Hao clan nor the local civilians were able to stop this; And without the Shi family, the speed at which Jiaozhou will become chaotic will only be faster, because the remnants of the Yellow Turban and the Jianghu people here are more concentrated than those in the Central Plains, not to mention that there is Lin Yiguo on the sidelines?
Thinking of this, Guo Bin suddenly felt that the death knell of the entire Eastern Han Dynasty had sounded, because the fundamental force to maintain its existence was not in the central government, but in the local wealthy clans.
Because the biggest role of the central government and even the Son of Heaven is to balance the various forces in the world, and the so-called imperial mind is just a means of balance and coordination. High-level politics has always been about struggle and compromise coexisting, why can there be compromise, balance, and the forces of all sides that can fight each other? Because there are all kinds of evenly matched opponents. Therefore, in politics, once a person has no opponent and no one to check and balance, it is the superior who should be nervous: this is the fundamental reason why the so-called high-ranking people often do not end well.
Judging from the situation at this time, if you want to maintain the stability and stability of Jiaozhou, and if you want to maintain the rule of the imperial court in Jiaozhou, you must ensure that the Shi family does not fall in the face of today's crisis. Because only the Shi family, the representative of the wealthy family of Jiaozhou, will stand tall, and the wealthy families of the entire Jiaozhou will have a vision, and Jiaozhou will not fall apart under internal and external difficulties. This is not only the best footnote to the correctness of the Son of Heaven's policy to enhance the strength of local governments, but it is undoubtedly the sorrow of the Eastern Han court.
Until this time, Guo Bin deeply felt the deep helplessness and disappointment when Wang Fu wrote "The building will fall, not the maintenance of a rope".
With the passage of time, Wang Yue's fatigue was fully revealed, and at this time, not only Guo Bin and others, but also the onlookers from the Central Plains also saw a clue. They are secretly anxious in their hearts, but they have no way to do it, this level of competition, that is, they have the heart to help
I'm busy, I'm afraid I can't get involved.
Guo Bin held the Xuanlong Gun, and Guan Zhang came to the front of the crowd, and said loudly: "Brother Wang, this Wu Luan's predecessor has excellent martial arts, and Guo is itchy to see it from the side, how about giving my brother a chance and asking this senior for guidance?" ”
These words were said beautifully, not to mention that Wang Yue couldn't support it, he wanted to go up to help, but he said that he was looking at Wu Luan's martial arts, because he wanted to learn it for a while. In this way, he not only gave Wang Yue the steps, but also secretly praised Wu Luan, he originally wanted to challenge Shi Xie, so he naturally deserved to be a senior, so that Wang Yue's long-term inability to fight became a matter of course, and it was normal for the juniors in the rivers and lakes to not be able to win the martial arts seniors, otherwise what kind of system would it become?
Wang Yue is also a person with a clear mind, he knows that his insistence is invincible, if he is defeated, he will only increase the arrogance of others, although he is very unwilling in his heart, but he still has to focus on the overall situation. If he loses again, how will the Shi family lead the Jiaozhou heroes? How to compete with Lin Yi Guowulin?
Therefore, he also smiled aloud and said heroically: "It's not Wang's, even so, it's annoying to the hidden sun!" As he spoke, he made three killing moves in a row, and after forcing Wu Luan back, he used his own light skills and body skills, and fell back to the eaves outside the gate of Shifu like a big bird. The bearing is high, the posture is beautiful, and the movements are agile, which makes people secretly admire.
That Wu Luan is also bitter and can't say it, he is an iron body, no matter how endless internal force supports, he is not an iron man after all. This kind of wheel warfare is also like a battle, but after a few fights, it will definitely be no longer strong. But what he said here was to learn martial arts instead of competing for the first place in Lingnan, so there was no competition, so it was the same with whoever he was fighting, so why didn't he accept Guo Bin's move? Thinking about it at this time, what I did at the beginning really lifted a stone and shot myself in the foot.
However, since he has been in a high position in the country of Linyi for a long time, he has to put on the appearance of a senior master at this time. I saw Wu Luan's surging qi and blood under self-pressure, his face was indifferent, and he said with a graceful bearing: "Lin Yi is a national elementary school, and Wu is only a junior in the country, so he must not be called a senior." ”
Seeing this, Guo Bin knew that he was hurrying to rest and try to recover the physical strength consumed in the battle, but he didn't break it up, so he simply chatted with him and said, "The words of the predecessors are reasonable. Although Linyi is a small country and a poor people, it is a subject country of the Han Dynasty, and it is very appropriate for the two sides to exchange martial arts with each other in the martial arts. The seniors are here, and it is also a major event in Chinese martial arts, and the younger generations are not talented, so they dare to ask the seniors to teach. ”
Guo Bin said this heartbreakingly, although he respectfully called Wu Luan a senior, but he tried his best to belittle Lin Yiguo. It's just that although the voice of rebellion against the Han in Linyi is loud, it has always been a subject country of the Han Dynasty, and it once paid tribute to the Eastern Han court.
At the same time, he couldn't help but be secretly vigilant in his heart: the young man in front of him has an extraordinary bearing, sharp words, and is not an ordinary person, so he should pay attention to it and deal with it carefully.
