That night, Han Lie went to Zhongshan again and visited Qingji, the general under Emperor Yu's account. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoAs the son of the Wu king's bureaucracy in the pre-Qin era, Qingji was able to enjoy incense sacrifices after his death, and was canonized as Zhongshan Jun by Emperor Yu, guarding the ghosts and gods of the underworld in Zhongshan.

After Han Lie came out of Emperor Yu's Mausoleum that day, he had a piece of jade pendant in his hand, as long as he arrived near these ghost and god tombs, and dripped blood into the jade pendant, he would be able to meet the local ghosts and gods. For Han Lie's visit, Zhongshan Jun Qingji was very happy, when he learned that Han Lie came to ask about Ji and Dian Wei's lifespan, Qingji said solemnly: "Yu Ji is one of the three major immortals in the world in the Taiping Road, knows the number of yin and yang, and can call the wind and rain to scatter beans into a soldier's spell, this person has built a Langya palace residence in the Langya blessed land of Langya Kingdom, and enslaved the Yin God Langya Jun of Langya Mountain, his senior brother is called Nanhua Immortal, that is, the teacher of Zhang Jiao of the Yellow Turban Uprising, it can be said that the Taiping Road is in the same vein, and there was also a country founded by teaching, The idea of mastering the order of the world. ”

"The second senior brother is Zuo Ci, it is said that Nanhua Immortal and Zuo Ci have escaped from the realm of immortal human beings, Zuo Ci has been living in seclusion in the area of Tianzhu Mountain and Yishan all the year round, and the mountain monarchs of these two places have not only been enslaved by him, but Zuo Ci also has the identity of a high priest in Baiyue. Baiyue is the descendants of the pre-Qin Yue, they cut off their hair and tattoos, believe in witchcraft, almost every tribe, have their own priests and worship of the mountain gods, the power is all over Yangzhou, the south of Jingzhou, and most of Jiaozhou, the population is as many as one million, the laughing tribe is thousands, so it is also known as Baiyue. ”

After listening to Qingji's words, Han Lie was also taken aback, and frowned: "You mean that Zuo Ci is the high priest of Baiyue, so this rebellion of the Yue people also has something to do with him?" ”

"I can't answer Han Jun about this, after all, Zuo Ci's magic power is profound, and the Yin gods such as Yishan Tianzhu Mountain are also enslaved by him, and the power in my hands can't touch his power, so I can't determine the truth of the matter, but there is one thing I can clearly tell Han Jun, because the Shanyue people believe in witchcraft priests, so they are very warlike, and they are not afraid of death, plus they are located in the mountains, occupy geographical advantages, want to annihilate them, it is almost impossible, it is better to suppress and use them, if you really want to annihilate them, it is best before the battle, Getting rid of the priests in their tribe first will effectively damage their morale and fighting spirit without fear of death. As an ancient general, Qingji is naturally no stranger to military affairs, but this opinion is his targeted advice to the Shanyue people.

"Thank you for your advice, I will come to worship you in person another day." Han Lie was also very satisfied with the opinions put forward by Qingji, so he bowed down and expressed his gratitude. As the body of ghosts and gods, although Qingji was blessed by Emperor Yu, was named the king of Zhongshan, set up a dungeon, and accepted the ghosts of the land around Zhongshan, if he could not receive the sacrificial incense in the world, his life would also be difficult.

You must know that these ghosts and gods in the underworld rely on human sacrifice incense to survive, and they seem to be immortal and do not enter reincarnation, but as long as the sacrifice is broken, they will be trapped in the mausoleum, unable to even move, let alone harm people, and they can't see the sun, and the same living people can't see them, and they don't have any lethality to the living.

Even the most heinous sinners, as long as they are alive, they cannot get within three feet of each other, which is why everyone in the world says that there are ghosts, but no one has been able to explain the truth. As for the reason why they exist, it is to maintain the order of the underworld, although they cannot harm the living, but there are always those who have died unjustly in this world, and the ghosts of these people will not disperse, and they will disturb the order of the world, and these ghosts and gods are to detain these ghosts and restore the peace of heaven and earth, and it is this credit that makes all kinds of sacrifices always exist in various places.

As for the so-called reincarnation, according to Qingji, it is not impossible, but this kind of opportunity is like the emperor of the world, and it may be necessary to get the love of heaven and earth, and only those who have bad luck can get the opportunity. As for Han Lie's inquiry about the Ten Halls Yama, Heavenly Court Immortals, Qing Ji said that he had never heard of any of them.

"Han Jun has a heart." Qingji smiled with satisfaction: "As for the matter of people's lifespan, although it is said that the life is determined in a few days, but in fact, there are also changes in the life character, for example, you said that General Dian Wei, maybe his life is about to end, but now that he is following Han Jun's side, he has Han Jun's luck and luck, and his life is also very likely to change, which is all uncertain." ”

"Thank you for helping me solve my doubts and benefiting me a lot." A long conversation with Qingji gave the gods and ghosts who had been confused, as well as the fate of life, a specific understanding, as he himself said, but he was able to solve his doubts.

It also made him finally understand why the emperors of the past dynasties always insisted on the major affairs of the country, but the criterion of worship and Rong, it is obvious that the sacrifice is to gather ghosts and gods, although the ghosts and gods cannot meddle in the affairs of the world, but they can give the world a kind of sustenance, so that the world can uphold the moral standard of loyalty and filial piety first.

"Han Jun doesn't need to be polite, these are all things we should do." Qingji replied calmly, and said: "Although Han Jun has a gentleman's atmosphere, but Kyushu Ding can not help but sacrifice, in the past, Emperor Yu built Kyushu Ding, respectively, buried in the ground of Kyushu, of which Yangzhou Ding is in Tu Mountain, this Han Jun knows, as for Xuzhou's in Langya Mountain, Jingzhou's in Jingshan, Liangzhou's in Mangdang Mountain, if the general gets these four tripods, public sacrifice, will be able to shorten the war, in order to win the hearts of the people to get a certain help. ”

"Don't worry, after I go back, I will make arrangements." Han Lie nodded. Although the Eastern Han Dynasty is now thirteen states, in ancient times, Dayu once turned the world into Kyushu, and built Kyushu to reach the world, which represents the territory of the entire world. Although time has passed, but the world of Kyushu, but it is still not outdated, the so-called Dingding world, in fact, is also the meaning of gathering Jiuding to dominate the world.

Yu Ban, Zhou Tai, and Gao Shun were the day before the Yuan Day, and they led their troops to Chungu County, Danyang County, to stop the Yue rebels.

Bu Qi was Han Lie's long-term candidate for counterinsurgency, and he had been in office for less than a month before he hurried to Jianye and accepted a new position, that is, Danyang Taishou, and the post of Captain of Pingyue. This time Buqi did not come alone, he also recommended a person to him to be the commander of the army, this person is his mentor and friend, Zhuge Jin Ziyu.

For Zhuge Jin, Bu Qi respected him and regarded him as a good strategy, and strongly recommended him to Han Lie as a virtuous person who could take on great responsibilities. For Zhuge Liang's brother, although Han Lie's memory fragments are not many, he also knows that this person is not a mediocre person, originally he wanted to keep him under the tent to listen to it, but because Bu Qi needed human assistance, he let go and agreed to Zhuge Jin to assist him in going to Danyang to quell the chaos.

After Bu Qi went to Danyang to take up his post and participated in the suppression of the rebellion, Han Lie immediately made another deployment, that is, to transfer Chen Jiao to the shogunate, and promote He Qi to the position of Huiji and Fuyue Lieutenant.

arranged these two capable men to be in charge of the Shanyue rebellion, Han Lie then recalled Zhang Yao, Diao Chan had also returned to Jianye at this time, in order to settle them, Han Lie specially established the Heavenly Master Concept for them on the bank of the Qinhuai River.

Han Lie was anxious to see Zhang Yao, naturally wanting to confirm whether the Yellow Turban Uprising in the past was because Taiping Dao wanted to establish a Taoist revolution. Zhang Yao had gone to Yuzhou before, and when she returned to Jianye, the Spring Festival had already passed. However, because the marriage between Han Lie and Er Qiao was scheduled for the 15th day of the first month, in order to celebrate the marriage, the entire Jianye was also whitewashed, and even lanterns were hung on the street, so that the celebration of the lanterns on the Shangyuan Festival has been passed down year after year.

Zhang Yao returned to Jianye on the evening of the 15th of the first month, so that in order to meet him, Han Lie had no choice but to leave Er Qiao in the cave room and have a long talk with Zhang Yao all night.

When Zhang Yao learned that Han Lie actually knew about the Tianping Dao Revolution, the secret of the establishment of the Taoist Dynasty, and the fact that she had seen ghosts and gods, from the shock at the beginning to the calmness at the end, it was enough to show that she, the descendant of the Taiping Dao, obviously concealed a lot of things from Han Lie.

"The general can be received by ghosts and gods, it is enough to show that the general has become a climate, it seems that the general is really a person with a mandate of heaven, in the past, my father coerced millions of people, occupied several states, and when he sacrificed to heaven and earth, he was counterattacked, so that his life was lost, and finally he died of illness under the giant deer city, so that his success fell short, which is the reason why his destiny is insufficient." When Zhang Yao talked about this secret, her expression was calm, after many years, her father Zhang Jiao had been dead for many years, and she naturally had nothing to be sad about.

"As for the Taoist Dynasty, it is indeed my father's long-cherished wish, mainly because he was influenced by the Taiping Sutra, thinking that as long as the Taoist Dynasty is established, the people will be able to have enough food and clothing, live and work in peace and contentment, and now it seems that my father obviously took it for granted." Zhang Yao shook his head and sighed bitterly, and said: "Shizun is said to have been feathered and ascended before his father's incident, and he was out of the category of human immortals, which is also a major reason for his father's defeat. It was eventually suppressed by the Han family. ”

"Then do you know the deeds of Yu Ji Zuoci and the others?" After Han Lie understood this, he shifted the topic to Yu Ji.

"The foundation of these two people is still shallow, at most it is just the early stage of human immortals, although they know the art of transfiguration, and they can use talismans to save people, but they are not enough to run rampant, the general asked these two people, do you want to deal with them? I heard that these two people are now on the ground in Yangzhou, preaching and saving people, and they seem to have some reputation. "Zhang Yao, a cold woman, is definitely a smart person, but as soon as Han Lie mentioned the two, she speculated about Han Lie's plan.

"Lies confuse the public and disturb the people's hearts, I don't know if this crime is enough?" Han Lie didn't hide it either, and said the truth.

"The little woman didn't dare to speak on this matter, and it was up to the general to decide." Zhang Yao actually has a lot of opinions about these two people, when he persuaded his father to get into trouble, the two of them also made a contribution, but in the end Zhang Jiao was defeated and died, if the two of them could make a move, Zhang Jiao could definitely retreat with his whole body, and since then he has been hiding in the mountains to survive, but these two people gave up their father because the so-called way of heaven is inviolable.

"I've worked hard for you these days, let's talk about the war situation in Yuzhou." Han Lie nodded.

"Since General Zilong withdrew from Runan, Cao Ang, who occupied Chen, Liang, and Lu, did not send troops to occupy Runan, but strengthened his military strength in the three places, and he didn't want to cause friction with the general. Secondly, the imperial army in Guanzhong has been besieging Xuchang for several months, and Yuan Shu is trapped in Xuchang, and it is estimated that the winner will be determined in ten days and a half months. Guan Yu, the general of the imperial court, this person's martial arts are unfathomable, and he uses soldiers like a god, although there are only 30,000 horses, but he insisted on annihilating Yuan Shu's 70,000 troops step by step in Yingchuan County, and finally forced Yuan Shu to lead 30,000 remnants of the army to stay in Xuchang and wait to be killed. "The intelligence that Zhang Yao is responsible for in Yuzhou is mainly in this regard, although she has already sent this information back, but this will still explain it to Han Lie in detail.

"Well, it seems that you are indeed a material for intelligence, and you are very detailed." Han Lie praised and said, "Today I married two more ladies, I specially asked someone to prepare a bowl of rice balls for you, you can taste it, although it is not a delicacy, but it is my heart, it should be regarded as a kind of celebration food for the Yuan Festival in the future." ”

"Congratulations to the general." Zhang Yao couldn't see her joy or anger, and after silently eating the rice balls that Han Lie had prepared for her, she immediately got up and said goodbye.

Han Lie saw that it was not early, so he hesitated, but still went to Cai Yan's house, but what Han Lie didn't expect was that Diao Chan was actually in Cai Yan's room tonight, and Mi Zhen did not leave.

The three girls were stroking the piano and laughing, as if they were going to talk at night. Seeing Han Lie coming suddenly, although Cai Yan was a little surprised, he still pushed him out and said: "Sister Er Qiao is now married to you, why did you snub them on the wedding night, husband, please go back, and besides, tonight, the concubine and Sister Cicada and Sister Zhen'er want to play the qin and drink, so I won't accompany you." ”

"What my sister said is that my husband is getting married tonight, but the two beauties are together, how can I live up to such a beautiful day?" Mi Zhen also interjected with a smile on her face, for Han Lie marrying Er Qiao, at first they wanted to say in their hearts that there was no mustard, it would definitely be a lie, but with these days, moving around with the Er Qiao sisters in private, Cai Yan and Mi Zhen have already had a good personal relationship with Er Qiao, and the mustard in their hearts will naturally fade.

"You guys." Han Lie smiled bitterly, and when he walked out, he said to Diao Chan: "Zhang Yao has come back, do you know about this?" ”

"yes, I thought my sister wouldn't arrive until tomorrow." Diao Chan didn't expect Zhang Yao to come back early, but she was a little surprised.

Coming out of Cai Yan and Mi Zhen, Han Lie originally wanted to go to see Er Qiao and chat with them about something, but when he walked to the front of the cave room, he found that the door was bolted from the inside. Han Liezhi didn't care about this result, just shook his head and smiled, and then returned to the study to rest.

Yu Jishi was escorted to the school by Dian Wei and Xu Chu on the third day of the second month to behead him, Yu Ji's death caused a great sensation in Jianye, but there were two fierce generals Xu Chu and Dian Wei to suppress it, but it did not cause any riots.

At the same time that Yu Ji was killed, Langya Taishou Zang Ba burned Yu Ji's Langya Palace Dojo, and built the Xuzhou Ding Ancestral Hall, enshrined the Xuzhou Ding buried deep underground, and led the Langya civil and military officials to carry out sacrifices.

Also on the Tu Mountain, Wu Fan also raised Yangzhou Ding and carried out sacrifices. After more than half a month of preparation, Yu Ban, Gao Shun, Zhou Tai, Danyang Taishou Buqi, and Danyang Wei Yuan Ba gathered the people of Danyang and launched an offensive against several Shanyue tribes, especially after Han Lie got the news that the Shanyue priest was the spiritual pillar of the Shanyue people from Qingji, before the army conquered, he made special arrangements, so that the battle situation was quite smooth for a while.

As the battle progressed, the armies of Zhou Ang, Chen Heng and Zhang Ying, who instigated the rebellion of the Shanyue people, were attacked successively, among which Zhang Ying was captured, and the two escaped.

When the news was delivered to Jianye, Han Lie just smiled faintly and said, "This is just a small trick, and this incident is enough to show that Sun Ce is afraid of us, but now is not the time to eat Sun Ce, because we have to admit that we don't have the strength to swallow him in one go." ”

If you want to conquer Jingzhou and eat Sun Ce, you must build a powerful and incomparable naval army, and this project is currently being fully prepared by Han Lie, striving not to expand within two years, not to provoke wars, and to concentrate all manpower, financial and material resources to build a naval army, which is the basic goal of Han Lie's development in the next two years.

On February 17, Xuchang was broken by Guan Yu's army, Yuan Shu was killed by his subordinates, and the land south of Yingchuan River was completely under the hands of Liu Bei. When Liu Bei in Chang'an received the report, he immediately reported the good news to the Han Emperor Liu Xie.

Since Liu Bei sat in Guanzhong, he balanced the forces of all parties, and was supported by Tian Feng, Zheng Tai, Sima Yi, Chen Gong, Jia Xu, Lu Bu, Zhang Ji and other warlords of Liangzhou, plus he had the Son of Heaven in hand, which can be described as a strong party.

After the defeat of Yuan Shu, Liu Bei's military advisor Tian Feng offered advice: "If it falls apart today, each fights, Yuan Shao of Jizhou, Han Lie of Yangzhou, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, and Liu Zhang of Yizhou should not be in a hurry, the top priority is to pacify Liangzhou, accumulate strength, and wait for the time to change, choose whether to enter the Central Plains or go west to Yizhou, for which the lord should appease the princes of the world in exchange for temporary peace." ”

In response to this matter, Liu Bei discussed with Chen Gong, Sima Yi and Jia Xu, and finally finalized a list of rewards to appease the princes of the world. As the world's largest strength, Yuan Shao was named the Great Sima, Ye Hou, and Lingji Prefecture Mu.

Liu Biao is the pastor of Jingzhou, the general of the chariot cavalry, and the Hou of Nanjun; Liu Zhang is the pastor of Yizhou, a hussar general, and Shu Hou; Even Cao Ang was crowned as Yanzhou Mu, Dongjun Hou, and former general; Sun Ce's crusade against Yuan Shu this time was fruitless, and he was located in the land of Yuzhang, so he only won a reward from a rear general, Bo Yanghou.

Liu Bei's own official positions are Taiwei, Chen Canghou, and Lingyongzhou Mu.

Han Lie's reward was second only to Yuan Shao, and he was awarded the posts of general, Danyang Hou, and Yangzhou pastor. (To be continued.) )
