Bai Xu's erudition and talent did make Chu Tianya a little admired. In the past two days, the two chatted a lot, about the past and present, astronomy, geography and military humanities. Chu Tianya felt that Bai Xu knew almost everything.

Naturally, the two talked about Taiyuan. Once, Chu Tianya learned some stories about the Taiyuan Mansion of the Great Song Dynasty from books and the Internet. But when I heard it from Bai Xu, I learned more things that I didn't know before.

Tracing back to the source, during the Warring States Period, the ancient city of Jinyang was the capital of Zhao State. Zhao Wuling King Hu Fu rode and shot, and Zhao Guo's soldiers were powerful and prosperous, becoming one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States; Zhao Zu's strength is sharp, and since then it has shocked all countries.

Throughout the ages, the land of Yan and Zhao has many righteous and strong people. It is said that it is related to the climate, water and soil here.

The land of Yanzhao (that is, east and north of the Yellow River, customarily called Hedong and Hebei) is cold and thin, the wind is high and cold, and the water and soil on one side nurture the people on the other side, making the people here strong and strong, righteous and fierce, and extremely important to the word "righteousness". Historically, there have been many typical characters. For example, the assassin Jing Ke of "the wind is sluggish and the water is cold", Guan Yu of Hedong, and Zhang Yide of Yanren. Looking closer, a hundred years ago, the last Later Han Dynasty that was exterminated by the Great Song Dynasty was secessed, and faced the Song Dynasty that unified the south with a lonely city, and actually insisted on standing up for more than ten years. The two generations of officials in the founding of the Great Song Dynasty have successively attacked Taiyuan several times, poured the strength of the whole country to attack, the vicious battles were extremely fierce, the dead bodies were full of blood, and they failed to directly capture Taiyuan City at a great price!

Since then, the fierceness and courage of the Taiyuan people have made the Zhao family deeply jealous. In addition, according to the old legend, Taiyuan is a dragon vein, a feng shui treasure land that condenses the spirit of the king, and a place of dragon prosperity that achieves hegemony and creates emperors.

At the same time, after taking Jinyang, there were Taoist priests and feng shui astrology masters who made a statement to Zhao Guangyi, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, saying that Tokyo Kaifeng was the division of "Shang Xing", and Taiyuan was the division of "Shen Xing", "Heaven and Shang do not meet, and Song and Jin do not stand side by side on the ground" - to put it bluntly, it is the Taiyuan dragon qi that will suppress the royal qi of the Great Song Dynasty!

It is also said that the dragon vein here in Taiyuan, the ancient city of Jinyang City is the belly of the dragon, the system of Zhoushan in the north of Taiyuan is the dragon head of the dragon vein of Jinyang, and the dragon mountain and Tianlong Mountain in the southwest are the tail of the dragon. Zhao Guangyi ordered the fire to flood Jinyang City, razing this ancient city to scorched earth; The head of the mountain was cut off and called the horn of the dragon; Digging the river to cut off the southwest direction of the Tianlong and other mountains, called the tail of the dragon.

When Jinyang was burned, countless Taiyuan people were buried in the fire before they could evacuate, and more people trampled on each other at the congested city gate and died; Those who were lucky enough to escape could only watch the foundation of the field house left by their ancestors gradually turn into a scorched earth, and since then they have been displaced and reduced to slaves of the country. After that, Zhao Guangyi also ordered that the women of the Northern Han Dynasty who were captured in the city be given to the soldiers, so that there were the first batch of official prostitutes in the Great Song Dynasty......

Zhao Guangyi made such a ruthless move, first, he hated the stubborn resistance he suffered in the Battle of Taiyuan, which caused him heavy losses; The second is that he is afraid that someone will rely on the dragon qi here to prosper and compete with him for the country.

Now that the Great Song Dynasty has been founded for more than 100 years, there are still many stories of the past among the people of Taiyuan. In addition, Zhao Guangyi once ordered that the scholars in Taiyuan should not be recorded, so that the "friendliness" and "loyalty" of the people here to the Zhao and Song official families have not been so high. A stone tablet set up by Zhao Guangyi to express the pacification of the Later Han Dynasty and the recovery of Jinyang was quietly destroyed by the people of Taiyuan. And next to it, the stone tablet erected by Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, is intact!

After the murder, Zhao Guangyi seemed to remember that Jinyang has been the "foundation of Hedong" since ancient times, and its position in national defense is too important, it is the throat and barrier of the Great Song Dynasty in the face of the strong captives in the north, and it is a "place of four battles, a field of attack and defense". In desperation, he had no choice but to order the rebuilding of Taiyuan City on the site of Tangming Town, but he was not even allowed to call its names "Jinyang" and "Taiyuan", only called "Jinzhou Military". The city was also full of Qiba "Ding" streets, which were not conducive to traffic, and were called "resisting the Hulu cavalry" -- they had all entered the city, what else could they resist? The real purpose of this trick to cover his ears and steal the bell is actually to "nail" the Taiyuan dragon vein, in case someone rises here and robs the country with him Zhao Clan.

The ancient city of Jinyang, which had a long history, was magnificent, and the city outline was strong, and it resisted the strong attack of the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, is now in ruins. The newly built Taiyuan City is just a small city with a side length of only about ten miles, and even the city wall is not covered with bricks, and it is all earthen walls.

Zhao Guangyi's jealousy and hatred of Taiyuan come from the bone marrow. His stupidity, selfishness and narrow-mindedness also really hurt and hurt the people of Taiyuan. Undoubtedly, it has also laid a huge hidden danger for the current national defense crisis - if Jinyang is still there now, its impregnable city defense alone is enough to discourage the Jurchen cavalry who are not good at attacking the city!

"Rao is like this, the current people of Taiyuan will still stand up and burn blood to resist the invasion of the Great Song Dynasty!" Chu Tianya was full of emotion, and said to Bai Xu, "Brother Bai, Jinyang is gone, and the ethereal things such as dragon veins and king's qi have never been able to capture. But I know that although Jinyang is destroyed, Dragon City will not die! -- Because of the thousand-year-old heritage, Longcheng has become a kind of spirit, which has been lurking in the blood of the military and civilians of Taiyuan. As long as we can activate the blood of this dragon city, why not fear the southern invasion of the Jurchen strong enemy? ”

"Yes! The strong captives in the north have always looked down on us Song people, and they say that 'there is no one in the south', all because we are cowardly and can be bullied. Bai Xu said, "It has been a hundred years since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, perhaps because we have been too rich and peaceful, so that the monarchs and the people are indulged in enjoyment and forget about war." Heroic feelings and indignation similar to 'Blood of Dragon City' have been castrated or quietly dormant. But I believe that once the crisis comes, as long as there are benevolent and righteous people ascending the heights and raising their arms, the blood of Longcheng can be awakened, and the soul of the nation can be awakened. ”

"yes, that's what I thought." Chu Tianya had a great feeling of 'confidant' and said, "After all, although the Jurchen army is strong, they have only been established for ten years, and they do not have enough cultural heritage and substantial armaments to back it up. As long as we muster up the courage to fight tenaciously, we don't need to be afraid of them at all. It is not difficult to guess that in view of the current situation of the unstable people and the lack of food and armor in the short term after the founding of the country, the southern invasion plan they formulated could only be a surprise attack and a sudden attack. They can't afford to fight a long-term fierce war -- so we must make the most of our strengths and avoid our weaknesses and be prepared to fight a long-term war. Even if our army is not the opponent of the Jurchen Iron Cavalry, as long as it is consumed, it will definitely be them who lose! ”

"Brother Chu, he is really a wonderful person!" Bai Xu smiled and slapped the fan in his hand, "This theory coincides with what Xiaosheng thinks!" It's just a pity that there are many people in the world who can think of this layer, but few people can advocate for this to be done; And most of those who can advocate the accomplishment of these things are cowardly and afraid of death, and do not want to serve the country - such as Tong Guan! If he was a loyal and brave man like Wang Yu, who dared to stand up in a critical moment to protect the territory and the people, why did he end up like this? ”

Chu Tianya smiled slightly, "Hearing you say this, could it be that the county lord Xiao has already sent good news?" ”

"That's right." Bai Xu nodded and smiled, "Brother Chu has strategized and won thousands of miles away. According to your arrangement, the little sister led people to ambush the Dahuai Slope at the foot of Taihang Mountain, and captured Yelu Yu, who was like a frightened bird at the end of the strong crossbow. Now she has secretly detained people, just waiting for Brother Chu's orders. When she needed to use Jerud, she would send them. ”

"As expected, Yelu Yu has suffered a lot under the hands of Lord Xiao." Chu Tianya smiled and said, "It's time to meet my teacher, Wang Yu!" ”

"As far as I know, Wang Yu was born in the army, started from the end of the micro-end, and climbed step by step with military merits, until the Xuanfu Division was unified." Bai Xu said, "For him, Tong Guan has a great grace of knowing and supporting. He is a man of great loyalty...... If he is asked to find out, it is you who designed to kill Tong Guan, will it embarrass you? ”

"I don't know." Chu Tianya frowned, "Wang Yu is a very understanding person, I want to hide these tricks from him, I'm afraid it will be very difficult." In my opinion, how can we stick to these personal details in extraordinary times, otherwise we will mislead the country and the people. I think Wang Yu will understand my intentions and suffering. A man's husband dares to do it, no matter what he wants to do to me, I admit it. But I don't think he'll do anything to me. ”

"That's good." Bai Xu nodded and said, "There is one more thing, about He Bo......"

Chu Tianya shook his head with a wry smile, "Although he has been in my house for a few years, I don't know more than you." ”

Bai Xu nodded, "That's right, I know a little more than you." Does Brother Chu want to know his true identity? ”

Chu Tianya smiled, "If I want to know, I will ask." If Uncle Ho is willing to let me know, he will also take the initiative to sue me. I trusted him and knew that he genuinely cared about me all along, and that was enough. As for what he has done before, what his real origin and identity are, it doesn't matter to me. In my opinion, he is just Uncle He in my family, nothing more. ”

"Sure enough, it's like a gathering!" Bai Xu smiled, "Uncle He, is a great hero. Brother Chu sympathizes with him, so it is reasonable. In fact, as early as a year or two ago, we in Qixingshan noticed Uncle He. Unfortunately, the old man is too mysterious and ethereal, so I can't figure it out. This time, in order to save Third Brother Xue, we took the initiative to contact Brother Chu, and there were also some reasons why we wanted to take this opportunity to get close to Uncle He. ”

"Could it be that he has a grudge against you Seven Star Mountain?" Chu Tianya asked curiously.

"Of course not." Bai Xu smiled, "Not only is there no hatred, but there is also a deep origin and kindness!" ”

"The boy surnamed Bai, do you like to chew your tongue behind your back like this?" Uncle Ho's voice suddenly sounded. Immediately, the door was pushed open, and He Bo walked in with a crutch on his body.

"Old-timers, forgive me!" Bai Xu hurriedly got up and apologized.

Chu Tianya also stood up and said with a smile: "Uncle He, you're back, you're not injured, are you?!" ”

"Am I not alive?" Uncle He smiled, "Seeing that the young master was released from prison safe and sound, the old man was relieved." The kid surnamed Bai saved my young master, and the old man won't care about you. ”

"Thank you, senior!" Bai Xu thanked him very respectfully.

"Don't call it that, it sounds harsh." Uncle He smiled and said, "The old man has never been informal, and he is used to being wild." You are just like my young master, call me Uncle He! ”

"Yes, Uncle Ho!" Bai Xu shouted rightly and eight-fold.

"You nerd, you're really boring." He He waved his hand stupidly, took Chu Tianya's hand and sat down, and said with a smile, "Young Master, your plan has succeeded." That wild girl was so ruthless that she beat Yelu Yu to the point where she didn't look like a man. Hehe, old man, I see it in my eyes, and I am happy in my heart! ”

Chu Tianya couldn't help but laugh and said, "Yelu Yu has never offended Uncle He, what are you happy about?" ”

"Shhhh - Of course he offended me! Uncle He turned his face blank and said, "He actually dares to use words to tease the young lady of my Chu family who has not passed through the door, isn't that a crime of death?" Fortunately, he didn't fall into the hands of the old man, otherwise, he wouldn't have a single intact bone in his body! ”

Bai Xu blinked in confusion, "Is Brother Chu going to get married, I don't know which girl is so blessed?" ”

Chu Tianya smiled bitterly, "Don't listen to Uncle He's nonsense!" Two of the three sentences he said were bragging! ”

"Hey, hey!" He Bo was still smiling like that, but there was a trace of pity and sadness in his eyes, and said, "If my youngest son is still there, it is almost as old as the young master, and it is time to ask for a daughter-in-law...... It's a pity, his good apprentice who was trained by me personally smashed the Tianling cover with one palm! If my youngest daughter is still there, I will definitely let her marry the young master as the main house. Xiao Linglong's girl has to fill the house! ”

Bai Xu's face suddenly twitched a few times: It turned out that the 'daughter-in-law of the Chu family who had not passed the door' that Uncle He said turned out to be a little sister! …… If she hears this, she doesn't know how she feels.
