Chapter 912: The gentleman speaks
Chu Huan let out an "oh", but he was a little surprised in his heart, when Lei Guheng was transferred to the southeast, Chu Huan once thought that Lei Guheng might be able to stabilize the situation in the southeast, after all, Tianmen Dao was just a group of rabble, and Lei Guheng was a famous general of the empire who had experienced a hundred battles, and what Lei Guheng took away was the elite guard of the empire.
It's just that he didn't expect that the combat power of Tianmen Dao was so strong, and a group of rabble, but it made the famous generals of the empire extremely tricky.
"Up and down Jinling Road, now it is cowardly before fighting." Du Fugong's eyes flashed a trace of ridicule, "As long as a Tianmen Dao soldier and horse really enters Jinling Dao, I'm afraid Jinling Dao will surrender without a fight." ”
Chu Huan just smiled and didn't speak, he didn't think that the officers and soldiers of Jinling Dao would surrender without a fight, but there was one thing he believed that if the officials and gentry of Jinling had already begun to think about retreating to the capital, then when Tianmen Dao really defeated Lei Guheng and the soldiers and horses entered Jinling, the officials of Jinling would have become cowardly, and I am afraid that they would really not be the opponents of Tianmen Dao at that time.
Chu Huan knew that throughout the ages, using religion to confuse the people and cause chaos in the world, even if it was a rabble, it often brought great threats to the imperial court.
The Taiping Dao Rebellion at the end of the Han Dynasty, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom of Hong Xiuquan later, and the White Lotus Sect at the end of the Qing Dynasty all gave the imperial court a great shock, although most of them eventually lost, but the former Zhu Yuanzhang used the power of religion to seize the country, Chu Huan did not know what Tianmen Dao would grow into, although the empire was temporarily free of worries, but the internal troubles within the empire were enough to give the Great Qin Empire a fatal blow.
He also knew that being able to gather a group of rabble, not only was not quickly pacified by Lei Guheng, but was in a stalemate with Lei Guheng, and he was not at a disadvantage at all, of course, because the Tianmen Dao, which has always been regarded as a rabble, is not as simple as imagined, this force that is regarded as a rabble actually seems to make a group of people who don't know the world bloody because of their beliefs, but its organization is very tight, at least after Chu Huan knew the Six Ways of Tianmen, after seeing General Mu, one of the generals, He knew that Tianmen Dao was really a serious enemy of the imperial court, and he didn't know what kind of positioning the emperor had for Tianmen Dao.
It's just that they really regard them as a group of rabble, just like those thieves who have been pacified countless times before, or really regard them as fierce enemies, if it is the latter, Chu Huan believes that even if the emperor doesn't care about anything else, he will never care about his own country, and he should designate a set of countermeasures to deal with the northward advance of the Tianmen Daoists.
However, if the emperor really just regarded the Tianmen Daoists as a group of rabble, Chu Huan was very worried that the emperor would not have any countermeasures at all.
"The disciples of Tianmen Dao did not really enter Jinling Dao, just because Lei Guheng guarded Jianghuai, with Lei Guheng's ability, as long as the imperial court supported him behind him, even if he could not pacify the chaos of Tianmen Dao, he could also choke Jianghuai, so that Tianmen Dao would not really enter Jinling." Du Fugong said slowly: "It's just that once Lei Guheng loses...... My lord, do you think there is anyone who can stop the northward advance of Tianmen Dao? ”
Chu Huan frowned, groaned slightly, and finally lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Du, do you mean that there is still a possibility for the Heavenly Sect Daoists to enter the capital?" ”
Du Fugong smiled faintly: "Why is this not possible?" This Luo'an capital city is not without falls. Luo'an Jing has Qinshui, Gushui, Raoshui three rivers claim to pass through the capital, the west of the strong mountain, the east of the Xiuyun, around the mountains and water, seems to be as stable as Mount Tai, but in fact it is not suitable for the imperial capital, into Jinling to Luo'an, a horse Pingchuan, almost no danger to defend, and the capital around the mountains and water, just like a tiger trapped in the cage, if the army is really pressed ......! He didn't say much, just picked up the soy milk and tasted it again.
Chu Huan heard Du Fugong's words, but seemed to be full of great truth, and asked: "What does Mr. mean is that once Lei Guheng can't hold Jianghuai, it is possible for the soldiers and horses of Tianmen Dao to drive straight into the capital and kill them?" ”
"Several dynasties chose Luo'an as the capital because of the pleasant climate here, which is suitable for living, and Jinling Yuling has always been a prosperous place." Du Fugong touched his beard and said: "Located in the south, it is extremely far away from the bitter cold land in the north, and it is in the original hinterland, so I will not worry about the enemy in the north entering the capital." The Three Kingdoms competed for power, and Eastern Wu finally dominated the world, Luo'an is located in Wu, which is the heart of Wu, and it is reasonable for Wu to be like this. It's just that the Hua Dynasty and the Qin State successively established their capitals here, perhaps because they both felt that this was the place of great unification. After a pause, he continued: "But the south is mostly plain, and to deal with the enemy from the north, there are also Fenshui and Hongguan natural dangers, but if the enemy comes from the south, then there is no real natural danger to defend." ”
Chu Huan bowed his head slightly and sighed: "It seems that Luo'an's safety is in the hands of General Lei." ”
"Not bad." Du Fugong nodded and said: "If Lei Guheng is safe and sound, Kyoto may be safe, once Lei Guheng has a slight accident, Kyoto will be in danger." Master Chu, Lei Guheng is already old, as far as I know, he is riddled with old injuries, he went to the southeast, he was originally injured and went into battle, if it is calmed down in a short time, it doesn't hurt, but for a long time, Lei Guheng's energy and physical strength, can he hold up? ”
Chu Huan felt that Du Fugong had something to say, and immediately said, "Mr. Du, do you see something?" ”
"No, no." Du Fugong waved his hand and smiled: "It's just nonsense." The adults asked me if it was suitable to buy a shop in Kyoto at this time, and Du said a few words of nonsense at a certain time, don't be surprised by the adults, whether you want to buy another shop, everything is up to the adults. ”
Chu Huan sighed and said, "Since this is the case, it is good to run the two shops well." ”
Du Fugong got up and arched his hand: "Du will go to find Shen Wansi today and ask him to hire a treasure master." ”
"Okay." Chu Huan also got up, "Everything has Mr. Laudhu." ”
Du Fugong retreated, walked to the door, suddenly thought of something, turned around, frowned and asked, "My lord, is that painting important to you?" ”
"Painting?" Chu Huan was stunned and didn't react for a while.
"Peacock opening picture!"
"Oh?" Chu Huan then remembered that when he bought Du Fugong, he saw a peacock picture painted by Du Fugong on the wall of the Rebirth Hall, which was exactly the same as the peacock picture of Nafu that Xiliang saw.
Chu Huan thought about a lot of things, if Du Fugong hadn't mentioned this matter at this moment, he would have almost forgotten it.
Chu Huan saw Du Fugong asking, and hurriedly said: "It's not important, in fact, I don't know it myself, it's just that I asked for some proof, so I really want to know its origin!" ”
Du Fugong thought for a while, walked back, and said softly: "I don't know anything about this picture, I just know its origin." ”
"Oh?"
"Huls knew that I was good at painting, so he bought me just to use me to paint for him." Du Fugong pondered for a while, and finally said: "My paintings, if they are thrown in the market, should be able to sell for some silver, so Huls has sought me several times to go to his account office and ask me to paint for him." ”
Chu Huan sighed: "Mr. Du is an elegant person, reading and painting, just for self-cultivation and pleasure, Huls's copper stinky body, if you want to desecrate Mr. Elegance, Mr. will naturally never give in." ”
Du Fugong smiled faintly, but his eyes were crossed with a hint of relief, he is a scholar, he is still proud in his bones, others don't understand him, but Chu Huan's words made Du Fugong happy, quite a bosom friend, but he has a high level of cultivation, he doesn't like to be colorful, and said with a smile: "I remember once, he repeatedly threatened me in the tent, and even took out a knife, saying that Du was a lowly body, already a slave, and no one cared if he killed me, which meant that if he didn't paint for him, he would kill me." ”
Chu Huan said with a smile: "Fortunately, Hu Les didn't do this, otherwise how could there be such a convenient account office in my mansion." ”
Du Fugong said: "That day someone happened to be looking for him in an emergency, he went out to talk, I saw a landscape map in his room, in fact, I went to his house many times, that picture also saw many times, but it was from the hand of a famous artist, there is a bit of meaning, so I stepped forward to watch, saw a painting is extremely vivid, love, reached out and touched it...... It's just that I didn't expect that when I touched it, the picture suddenly moved, and I realized that it was a picture frame that fit the wall perfectly, and after pressing it, the frame turned to the wall, revealing the other side. ”
Chu Huan understood something, and his eyes lit up: "Sir, on the other side, is it ...... Is that the peacock picture? ”
Du Fugong nodded and said: "Yes, the picture frame has two sides, usually the landscape picture, but on the back of the frame, it is a peacock open screen picture." The peacock open screen picture, it is really wonderful, a first-class painting, the peacock posture, leaping on, Du has also seen countless paintings, and there are not a few works on it, not that the peacock picture is priceless, but in the peacock painting, that picture is the most exquisite and realistic painting Du has ever seen in his life, lifelike, as if to fly out of the painting. ”
Chu Huan clenched his fists and said solemnly: "Sir, you mean, the peacock opening picture is in the Rebirth Hall?" ”
Du Fugong bowed his head and said: "Yes, it's in Huls's account room, that's his forbidden place, no one can approach it without his permission, that peacock picture, Huls thinks it's a treasure, it must be very important to him, otherwise...... He wouldn't have collected it so tightly, and if it weren't for the coincidence that day, I'm afraid no one would have known that there was such a peacock picture in his account. ”
Chu Huan arched his hand and said solemnly: "Thank you Mr. for your advice, Chu is grateful!" ”
Du Fugong didn't say much, just turned around and left, Chu Huan looked at the back of Du Fugong leaving, but his heart was full of suspicions, Hu Les was just a businessman, how could he have such a peacock picture, the peacock opening picture is something worshiped by the Great Heart Sect, Ah Shi Duo and others, could it be that this Hu Shang is also involved with the Great Heart Sect?
