Chapter 25: To each his own mind
When Yeluqi saw Baili Xi come out, he beckoned him over and asked in a low voice, "How is it, did my father promise you?" ”
"Hmm!"
"What's that thing on you?"
"A father's agreement." Baili Xi said a word, but did not say it explicitly, "Let's continue to discuss how to hunt down Zhao Zhen and them." ”
"Well, on the side of the army, I have already arranged for Ram Zhe to lead the wolf knight to continue the pursuit, and the Jianghu Sect is on the side, you can arrange it!"
Yeluqi is a smart man, since Bailixi didn't want to say it, he didn't ask more, but he just kept a thought in his heart, and then told Bailixi about the next pursuit plan.
"Okay! The minister retired first! ”
After answering the question, Bailixi left alone.
Yeluqi looked at Baili Xi, who was getting farther away, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a wicked smile, and his nose exhaled lightly: "Hmph, my good brother!" ”
On the other side, in the front hall of Qingfeng Village, Li Gengyun and the others had already finished breakfast, but the topic continued. What they expected was that the Northern Yuan army would seize the Central Plains, and they themselves needed to speed up their pace, unite the forces of the four states south of Huangshui as soon as possible before the Northern Yuan army went south, and at the same time borrow troops from Southern Chu, so that they could have the strength to compete with it.
"The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. The strength we want is entirely driven by interests, so as long as we give them enough benefits, they will naturally continue to unite and cooperate with us. However, in any case, we must build up our power to occupy at least one state, otherwise we will not have the right to talk to them on an equal footing. ”
Seeing that Guo Feng was still meditating, Li Gengyun directly broke the key. Li Gengyun lived in the new century, but the historical knowledge he read in his textbooks helped him quickly analyze the important factors that unite an alliance. That is interests, because interests are driven, so that all forces can unite and jointly fight against another powerful force.
However, the unity of this alliance often collapses because of the uneven distribution of interests after success, the alliance of the thirteen princes of the Three Kingdoms period to crusade against Dong Zhuo is like this, and the Huangchao Rebellion is also the result of this, with the experience of the past, Li Gengyun has his own understanding of the alliance. There must be a centralization of power between the alliances, and a complete military-political system must be created, otherwise in the end the entire alliance will inevitably collapse.
"That's right! Brother Yun, you're so right! The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit! This summary is so incisive! ”
Not only Guo Feng agreed with Li Gengyun's statement, but Zhao Zhen and the others also nodded one after another, looking at Li Gengyun in surprise.
"Thank you, Mr. Li, for helping me!"
Zhao Zhen thought of Li Gengyun's adventure to help her escape from the imperial city, and now he was planning for her to recover the Great Song Dynasty in the future, and she was very moved, and she thought of Li Gengyun's original sentence "I only protect you". At this time, her heart had already shifted from Baili Xi to Li Gengyun, and the seemingly ordinary man in front of her did not expect to be a great talent. Thinking of this, her heart couldn't help but warm, her eyes moistened, and after a while, tears of joy flowed with a smile on her face.
Li Gengyun saw Zhao Zhen with tears in his eyes and cried with a smile on his face, he was also a little puzzled, and asked strangely: "Queen, who are you?" ”
"Nothing, nothing!"
Zhao Zhen wiped the tears from her face, after all, she was only sixteen years old, if she was placed in the era when Li Gengyun lived, she was still a little girl who was studying, but Zhao Zhen in the original book was gradually growing up, experiencing the pain of the country's ruin and family death, and her heart gradually became stronger, at this time she was just revealing her true feelings.
"Oh!"
However, Li Gengyun is indeed a guy with low emotional intelligence, and he thought that Zhao Zhen was sad because of the destruction of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhen's death and Bailixi's rebellion, which made her feel sad, so she was sad and cried.
"Time waits for no one, we have to prepare as soon as possible!"
Li Gengyun said to the others: "Yuwen, I know that you have a habit of drinking, and you still have to change it in the future!" The body is the capital of the revolution, so you must have a strong body to be able to do a great job! ”
"Yes!"
Guo Feng nodded, he knew that his health had not been good, he hadn't thought about it so much before, he just wanted to live this life in a mess, but now Li Gengyun described such a broad prospect for him, naturally he should cherish it. So he had already made up his mind to quit drinking in the future.
"Senior Brother Lin, Miss Xiangrui, we are going to Xiangzhou on this trip, and there will be many difficulties along the way. Bailixi and Yeluqi are not idle people, and they will definitely snipe along the way, so in the future, our life safety will depend on the two of them. The influence of the two in the rivers and lakes is not ordinary, and I believe that with the help of the two, the resistance will definitely be reduced. ”
"Mr. Li has won the award, my sister and I, as well as Bai Beilou, will definitely do our best to help the queen and restore the Great Song Dynasty, we are duty-bound!"
Lin Sen pulled Xiangrui and made a promise to Li Gengyun: "Even if you are broken, we will protect your safety!" ”
"Then thank you Senior Brother Lin and Miss Xiangrui!"
Li Gengyun nodded with a smile on his face, and bowed to Lin Sen and Xiangrui to express his gratitude.
"If you go to Xiangzhou, if you go over the mountains and mountains, I'm afraid it will be cold winter when you reach Xiangzhou. So we have to take shortcuts, which everyone knows and Bailixi also knows. He must have expected that we would go south, and if the Northern Yuan wanted to attack further south in the future, he would inevitably choose Xiangzhou as a springboard. So we have to get to Xiangzhou one step faster! ”
"Yuwen, you are familiar with the terrain of Lizhou, can you tell me how we should act next!"
Li Gengyun handed over the right to speak to Guo Feng, in fact, to be honest, there is not too much description of the route from Lizhou to Xiangzhou in the original book, so he does not know the geographical distribution of Lizhou, but Guo Feng is a native of Lizhou, and he knows the distribution and geographical form of Lizhou well. And from his previous plans for the future, it can be seen that his intelligence is not inferior to others, so it is only fitting that he chooses the course of action.
"Yes, Brother Yun!"
Guo Feng nodded and said to Li Gengyun and Zhao Zhen: "Brother Yun, queen!" There are also Senior Brother Lin and Miss Xiangrui, who set out from Lizhou to Xiangyang, the seat of Xiangzhou, and pass through Yangcheng, Fenglin Town, Luomapo and Anxicheng if you take the main road. Crossing the Yellow Water from the Rest City to the southeast is to reach the Xiangyang City where the three rivers meet. This route is the fastest. ”
"Yangcheng is my hometown, if the calculation is not wrong, we will set off now, and when we arrive in Yangcheng, it is estimated that the army of the Northern Yuan Dynasty has also arrived in Yangcheng. Therefore, there is only one way to reach Yangcheng before them, and that is to cross Pingyang Pass. After passing through Pingyang Pass, I drove along Pingyang Mountain overnight, and I thought I would be able to reach Yangcheng in two days. The Northern Yuan army had now occupied Gyeonggi, and from the imperial city, it was necessary to pass through Hyunyangguan and Xima Fortress on their way to Yangseong. These two places were each garrisoned by 3,000 Song troops. To take these two places, it would take two days for the Northern Yuan army. Even if the two defenders surrender, they will waste a moment of time for the surrender ceremony. ”
"So we can get to Yangcheng first, and after a short rest, we can hurry to Fenglin Town. It's just that on the way from Yangcheng to Fenglin Town, we have to pass through Qinglong Village, and I'm afraid it will be a little troublesome here! ”
