Yi Guanyuan smoked a bamboo cigarette, Xu Ruyu sat down opposite him and asked, "Isn't the shore of the Han River Mr. Yi's paradise, how could Mr. Yi take Tingxue and Ami into the turbid red dust?" ”

Yi Guanyuan's cloudy eyes suddenly brightened in the smoke, and he said leisurely: "There is no paradise in the world, just like that place, I have exhausted my life's energy, but I can't extinguish the young man's ambition to conquer." If I hadn't brought Ami out this time, he would have been conscripted into the Huailai Army. If Jinyang is not subject to soldiers, it is also a pond fish that has been affected. ”

Xu Ruyu looked at the southwest from afar, and said to himself: "There is no paradise in the world, there is no paradise in the world...... his heart was touched, and asked: "Mr. Yi is talking about Nanping County?" ”

Yi Guan Yuan sighed: "Nanning Yue Pei Xue and his affairs, have you heard of it?" ”

Xu Ruyu said: "Yue Pei Xue? It is rumored that its snow watching knife is fierce and silent, like a flame in the water, the way of the ultimate knife, and the list of miraculous skills is called the ancestor of the knife. ”

Yi Guanxue said: "His name is not listed among the grandmasters by the world, not because he is not skilled in martial arts, but because he is confined to his position. ”

"It's not a rumor in the world, the king of Beijing County is the first person outside the three great grandmasters?"

"Yue Peixue has to send troops to expedition to various places in Nanzhao every year, and the world thinks that he is a poor soldier, not a strong man who understands the extreme way of martial arts, so his reputation is only in a few counties in the south of the Yangtze River, and not as good as Cai Linya."

After Sanmiao was attached to Yue Peixue, he migrated to the Wuling area at the junction of Yue County and Nanmin in the northeast of Nanning County, and Xu Xing and Wu Chu commented on this matter back then.

Xu Xing thought that Yue Pei Xue would migrate Sanmiao to Yunling on the border of Nanning, Nanmin and Yue County, but in fact, he let the Sanmiao millions of people replace Pei's guards to guard the northeast border of Nanning County, so that Yue Pei Xue would deploy limited troops on the northwest border of Nanning County to guard against the powerful power of the Yuan clan of the old dynasty in Nanping.

Wu Chu believed that Yue Pei Xue migrated Sanmiao to Yunling, which restricted the development of Pei family's power to Yue County, Jing County and other places in the northeast. Only Yue Peixue has been conquering the Nanzhao barbarians for many years, which seems to have no achievements, but it has made Nanning have the Le'an battalion army among the "top ten elite soldiers". Wu Chu thinks that the Baisheng Heroes go out to fight, and only by killing on the battlefield can they train elite soldiers, and in this regard, Yue Pei Xue did it very much to his liking.

Xu Ruyu said lightly: "Yue Peixue has been fighting in Nanzhao for many years, but he has made no achievements, so it is no wonder that the world has a slightly lower evaluation of him. ”

"General Qingfeng thinks so too?"

Yi Guanyuan continued: "General Qingfeng's implementation of the "Displaced People Resettlement Order" and the "Post-war Wasteland Disposal Order" two policies, which is heartbreaking. General Qingfeng, who implemented the two strategies, also thinks so? ”

Xu Ruyu saw that he did not mention his brilliant achievements in Donghai County, but only mentioned the implementation of the two strategies, and said with a solemn expression: "The implementation of the two policies in Yongyang is different from the situation in Yongyang. If it is in Piling and Tairu, the two policies will not even have the opportunity to be issued. Only one place is good, not good for the world, there is really nothing beyond everyone. ”

Yi Guanyuan's body moved forward, almost lying on the dwarf, and said with a sharp gaze: "The family has ruled the world for more than 300 years, and the change of the country has not affected the expansion of the family's power, but because of your two strategies, there will be a gap. Although Ru Yu said that he left Yongyang, he took retreat as advance, so that Yongyang would not become the spearhead of the family, but Ru Yu's influence on Yongyang should be no worse than that of any person. ”

"Thou foolish did not dare to be good at its beauty, and the two strategies were slightly discussed in the writings of my father. It's just that my father knew very well that letting the family not compete with the people for profit is not true. Ru Yu is guided by the situation, but it stops at Yongyang, which is not of great benefit to the world, and it cannot shake the foundation of the clan system. Xu Ruyu knew that his actions and intentions in Yongyang Mansion could not be concealed from Yiguanyuan, but he was not sure of his intentions, and he did not want to dwell on the topic of the two strategies.

Yi Guanyuan single-handedly made a radius of more than ten miles like the paradise described in the ancient books, and he was really a sage who was as vicious as Xu Xing and others. Xu Ruyu is as respectful as his father, but fighting for the interests of the common people and the family is tantamount to enmity for the family, how dare Xu Ruyu easily reveal what he thinks.

Yi Guan Yuan sighed leisurely: "The turbid world can still keep the whole body, the troubled times are coming, and the people are struggling with water and fire, what kind of desolate scene is it, have you ever thought about it?" ”

Xu Ruyu's heart was stunned, he looked at Yiguanyuan's sincere and eager eyes, couldn't bear to avoid it, and said: "The sages in the world don't know how many people are better than your fools, how can you be foolish in the meantime?" ”

Yi Guanyuan's voice turned clear and said: "Who is as virtuous as you and who loves the people so much, who is there in the world?" Yue Peixue's expedition to Nanzhao trained tens of thousands of elite soldiers, but he could not protect Nanning County. Three years ago, Kou Zichan of Liujun went to Huailai to lobby Huo Kailai, the lord of the Huo people, and persuaded him to give up the invasion of Jing County, and focus on the management of Yiling, Jingzhou, Jiangling, Honghu, and Hankou, and expel the forces of the Nanping Two Lakes Association from the Great River Waterway. However, Huo Kailai coveted the huge profits of the tribute from the Two Lakes Society, and coveted the thousands of miles of fertile fields in Jing County, formed an alliance with Nanping, and rashly invaded Jing County. On the north bank of the river, there were only more than 20,000 soldiers in Yiling, Jingzhou, Jiangling, Honghu, Hankou and other five provinces. ”

Xu Ruyu was horrified in his heart, but he didn't show it, and secretly thought: When the Yuan clan, the remnant of the old dynasty, joined the new dynasty, he once swore that Nanping would never establish a water camp, and the world would discuss it against it. However, the Lianghuhui that rose in Nanping had hundreds of warships and became a water force that should not be underestimated in the Yuanjiang and Xiangjiang river basins south of Dongting Lake. Now that it has access to the waterways of the great rivers, it is even more powerful.

Xu Ruyu said: "I heard that Huo Qingtong insisted on setting up a government in Jingzhou to oversee the defense of Yiling, Jingzhou, Honghu, Hankou, and Jiangling? ”

Yi Guanyuan shook his head and said: "Although Huo Qingtong is said to be the son of the world, but Huo Kailai has the power alone, even the parents and children cannot be coveted, what can Huo Qingtong do, he opposed Zheng Jing alone, and was almost abolished by Huo Kailai as the son." ”

Xu Ruyu sighed secretly and said: "Huo Kailai is also the hero of the world, Nanping seeks him, he may not seek Nanping." Nanping wants to restore the old dynasty, and I'm afraid it's not so easy. ”

Yiguan sighed faintly and said, "You really don't want to help Jinyang? ”

Xu Ruyu said: "Mr. Yi is the hidden handsome of the six handsome, and there is nothing he can do, what can Ruyu do?" Do you want me to lead the army of Jinyang to slaughter the people of Jing County? ”

"You know who I am?"

"Although Mr. Yi's name and appearance are not known to the public, but Mr. Yi's hidden matter, Ru Yu has heard his father mention it."

"Your foolish talent is better than the six handsomes of the year, can you have ambition in your chest?"

Xu Ruyu's heart moved, but he didn't want to tell him directly, and said lightly: "My father still wants to do nothing in the world, how dare you go against the trend?" ”

Yi Guanyuan pressed hard and said: "The situation can be borrowed, and you can't do anything about it?" ”

"Mr. Shao helped Xu Naiji to rise up in Xiangzhou, and tens of thousands of people were defeated and slaughtered. How dare you despise human life? ”

"Xu Naiji acted radically, acted without knowing the situation, and slaughtered the children of the Xiangzhou family, becoming the common enemy of the eight counties in Jiangbei, and the Youji Cai family also sent troops to suppress him, how could he not perish? How could he be compared to Xu Xing and Wu Chu, the two disciples of everyone. ”

"My father once said that with the help of the power of the family, he would seize the world, and the world would return to the family, which would be of no benefit to the people, and the gentleman would do nothing."

"Is there any ambition to change the old system?"

Xu Ruyu looked at Yiguan's far-reaching and profound eyes, and the eager and sincere feelings in those eyes were scorching. Xu Ruyu was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

"Do you know who made the policy of Gongliang Yuqin to invade Donghai County?"

The events that happened in Donghai County in a year swept through his heart, and Xu Ruyu thought of the viciousness of the layout people, and a chill suddenly felt in his heart. The White Stone Army was shocked to appear in the Piercing Heaven Army Formation and the Five Elements Phalanx, indicating that the person behind the layout had a great relationship with his father's division. Xu Xing never mentioned his master before his death, and Xu Ruyu didn't know. Later, on the bank of the Bashui River, Chen Ang told him that Xu Xing was taught by Tianji Xueqiu, one of the three great masters in the world, and Xu Ru was stunned.

Tianji Xueqiu is a noble relative of the old dynasty, the head of the Nanping Rong family, and in his early years, he was in charge of Tianji Pavilion, so he changed his surname to Tianji. Later, Emperor Gaozong got the help of the four northern tribes to overthrow the old dynasty. The remnants of the Yuan clan retreated into the territory of Nanping, and the new dynasty was forced to recognize the existence of the Nanping regime due to the prestige of Tianji Xueqiu and the Rong Tianji Cavalry Battalion.

After Tianji Xueqiu dissolved the Rong family and the Yuan family into one, he no longer paid attention to the affairs of the world, and the people of the world recommended him as a grandmaster.

Gongliang Youqin also belonged to the nobles of the old dynasty, and was forced to go to sea as a bandit when the new dynasty was founded. His invasion of the East China Sea naturally has a great deal to do with the people of Nanping County.

Yiguan saw that Xu Ruyu was silent and did not answer, and said: "Have you ever heard of Rong Yanmen? ”

Xu Ruyu's color changed slightly, and he was still silent.

Yi Guanyuan said: "Rong Yanmen is a disciple of Tianji Xueqiu, and the world is called: Yanmen is sad and moony, and it is shocking. There are countless masters in Nanping, and Rong Yanmen is the first person outside the Tianji Xueqiu when he is thirty years old. Tianji Xueqiu once said that his understanding of the art of war has surpassed his predecessors and is a unique family. ”

Xu Ruyu secretly thought: If the 100,000 Puji bandits are led by him, what is his chance of winning?

Yi Guanyuan said: "If Gongliang Youqin successfully invades Donghai County this time, Yue County is also in danger, and there are no other forces in the southern counties except for the Yue family in Nanning County, which can compete with the powerful power of the Yuan family in Nanping County. The restoration of the old dynasty by the army of the Yuan family of Nanping County through Jinyang County is almost a foregone conclusion. ”

Yiguan paused for a while, and saw that Xu Ruyu's face was not different, and he knew that he also expected such a situation. continued: "Rong Yanmen secretly trained the water camp in Hanshouyi, Nanping County, and when the counties of Hedong fell into chaos, they would compete and invade Hanshui. He never expected that a Qingfeng general would come out of nowhere and disrupt all his wishful thinking. ”

Xu Ruyu saw that there was no appreciation in his tone, and he was puzzled in his heart, and asked, "Shouldn't you show up?" ”

Yi Guan Yuan sighed: "Mengmi has restored his old surname Chu Shi in Suiyuan City, established the Khan Court, the country name is Hulan, and he respects Mengduan, and now it is Chu Shiduan, and Chu Shiduan is Hulan Master." ”

Xu Ruyu's face was like dirt, and he asked urgently, "When did this happen?" ”

Yi Guanyuan said: "What happened a month ago was all done in secret, the first thing that the Hulan Khan Court was established was to set up a foot battalion, the northern border of Fen County was tightly sealed, and the potential Jinghu disciples on the Hulan grassland only recently spread the news. ”

Xu Ruyu was speechless, his face pale. The formation of infantry by the Tutu shows that they will change the previous way of invasion of looting and looting property and population, and instead aim to attack cities and plunder land and conquer the Central Plains.

Yi Guanyuan said: "If the Yuan family can quickly restore the old dynasty, the vitality of the families in the Central Plains will not be harmed, and Hulan will not dare to invade the south easily soon after the founding of the country." If it is delayed for a few more years, let Chu Shimi unify all the tribes in the heavenly region, and the Hulan Kingdom will become the climate, just ask if the Yuan clan will restore the old dynasty at that time, won't the Central Plains be a catastrophe? ”

Xu Ruyu asked solemnly: "Dare to ask where Mr. Yi is standing?" ”

"Guanyuan is only for the hundreds of millions of Li Shu in the Central Plains, and he doesn't want to see the fifteen counties in the Central Plains being ravaged by foreign races."

Xu Ruyu's eyes flashed and asked, "Mr. Nayi is a lobbyist of the Yuan family in Nanping County?" ”

Yiguan Yuanfu saw his mysterious pupils, and his heart was stunned, and he secretly thought: The rumors are true, and the cultivation of the weak crown has reached a grade. Yiguanyuan sighed: "The Yuan family has been operating in Nanping for 50 years, with 250,000 foot soldiers, 30,000 jockeys, and 100,000 water camps. ”

"However, after the restoration of Nanping, Cai, Xun, Huo, and Gu will inevitably unite with the inner court to fight against Nanping, even if Nanping can quickly take Jinyang County, but a protracted war on the boundary of the four northern counties is inevitable, and the alien races eyeing the Hulan grassland will definitely take the opportunity to invade the Central Plains. The catastrophe of the Tutu invasion of a hundred years ago will be repeated. ”

Yi Guanyuan said: "Don't hide it, I'm a doorman from Jinghu, not a lobbyist of the Nanping Yuan family. ”

"Silent Lake? Doesn't Jinghu not interfere with the general trend of the world? ”

"Jinghu just doesn't interfere in the family's struggle for hegemony, but when the Han dynasty inheritance is threatened, Jinghu disciples will go out of the mountain and walk around. A hundred years ago, the most famous Jinghu disciple was in Fanchuan to resist the foreign invasion for six years, and in the seven years of the foreign invasion, the population of the five northern counties lost 10 million. ”

Xu Ruyu nodded heavily. It's just that I don't know what Mei Yingxue's relationship is with him, Mei Yingxue once asked him about the people's livelihood policy when he was in Yongyang, but he just let himself avoid the important and shook it lightly. Now that Yiguanyuan has found himself on behalf of Jinghu, what is their intention? What kind of organization is Jinghu?

"The Puji bandits and Xu Bodang jointly invaded Donghai County, and Jinghu has long known the news?"

"Gongliang Youqin is the head of the old dynasty family, he and Xu Bodang jointly invaded the East China Sea, we think it is a struggle between the families, and Jinghu will not be bounded."

is a simple sentence of "do not enter", and nearly one million people in Donghai County died in just one year. Xu Ruyu's face turned pale with excitement. said coldly: "Ru Yu's shoulders are weak, and he can't bear the burden of the survival of the Han Dynasty. Ru Yu also read history books, and Ru Yu still remembers that in the past 100 years, the number of households in the world has dropped from 160 million to more than 80 million. May I ask Mr. Yi, how many of the 80 million people lost were slaughtered by the Tutu people, and how many were slaughtered by those wealthy families who professed the Han dynasty. In the battle of Donghai, nearly one million civilian casualties were lost, and after the war, the family fought with the people, and almost half of the civilians in the two prefectures of Biling and Tairu in Donghai County were displaced. This is the way of the survival of the Han Dynasty? For the sake of the so-called survival of the Han Dynasty, Jinghu sat and watched the Puji bandits wantonly burn and kill prisoners in the East China Sea and Yuejun? In my Xu Ruyu's heart, there is no distinction between Han and barbarians, only the difference between thugs and weak people, if Mr. Yi wants to tell me the way to survive Han Dynasty, I think he is looking for the wrong person. ”

Yi Guanyuan listened to Xu Ruyu's fierce words, he was stunned, he wanted to speak and stopped, his face no longer had the initial calmness and calmness, and he thought for a moment and said: "Compared to your father Xu Gong, I am really insignificant. Back then, with a "Balance of Power Policy", he was among the six handsome, and he was very ashamed. The rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible, the Tutu people set up a khanate in Suiyuan City, set up a foot soldier, their ambition is not small, may you be foolish for the world, do not remember the past. ”

Xu Ruyu said lightly: "What is the suspicion between Jinghu and me? Jinghu didn't help Gongliang Youqin to defend Donghai County, and I am already very grateful. ”

Yi Guanyuan listened to his sneering, and his scalp was numb, but he had to bite the bullet and continue: "The family is fighting endlessly, since it can't be banned, let the conflict be controlled within a certain range, and the casualties of civilians can be reduced." Therefore, when I traveled all over the world, I wrote a "Balance of Power Policy" and published it all over the world, hoping that the major families in the world would check and balance each other, so as to prevent large-scale wars from occurring. In the 20 years since the "Balance of Power Policy" was introduced, there have been only a handful of wars in the world with a scale of more than 100,000 people, which has alleviated the suffering of civilians to a certain extent. ”

Xu Ruyu snorted coldly and said: "Nanping County has benefited the most from the balance of power policy, and now except for the Yue family in Nanning, which can be lower in length, Chengdu-Chongqing County, Jing County, and Jinyang County are relatively inferior. There have been no major wars in 20 years, but there are even bigger curses. If Nanping really wants to be restored, it will really be the moment that endangers the survival of the Han Dynasty. ”

Yi Guanyuan sighed: "Ru Yu has a unique vision, I have to admit that there are huge loopholes in Jinghu's pursuit of the principle of balance in the world, which will cause the Nanping family to dominate and the restoration will be inevitable." Therefore, when Rong Yanmen instigated the Puji bandits to invade Donghai County, Jinghu got the news and had no intention of reminding the three clans in the East China Sea, but only hoped that the Nanping Yuan family could be restored quickly and successfully, so as not to cause too much trauma to the world. Now, Gongliang Youqin and Xu Bodang lost a total of 150,000 elite soldiers in the East China Sea, and the Chen clan in the East China Sea took advantage of the rise. Now the only one who can stop the restoration of the Rong family in Nanping is you foolish, and this is also my intention to come to Shangnan to find you. ”

"Mr. Yi thinks highly of me, you are young and shallow, and you dare not bear this false name."

"Can't you trust me? Your father has worked for the benefit of the common people all his life, and suppressing the family Gaomen, the remnants of the old Nanping Dynasty, and the southern invasion of the Tutu people are the three things he is most concerned about in his life, how could he not leave a legacy? Isn't Ru Yu's implementation of a new policy in Yongyang a continuation of your father's legacy? ”

"The world has changed so much that my father's judgment of the situation back then does not apply to the present."

"I just need to watch the "County Policy".

Xu Ruyu was shocked, looked at Yi Guanyuan incredulously, hesitated for a long time, and said hesitantly: "Although I don't know how you learned about the "Zhixian Policy", but when my father was in trouble in Bayang, this policy was only a simple policy, and there was no specific implementation provision. Moreover, if this policy is rumored to the world, the world will immediately be divided into several countries, and you will not dare to let your father bear this infamy. ”

"The Gu family is in Suchuan, the Xun family is in Fenjun, the Cai family is in Youji, the Chen family is in Donghai, the Huo family is in Jinyang, the Yuan family is in Nanping, the Yue family is in Nanning, and the Zongzheng family is in Nanmin, isn't this a country within a country? Your father traveled the world for 30 years and compiled the "County Policy", did he hope that this policy would rot in your heart? ”

"My father hoped to use this strategy to restrain the family's high families, but throwing this strategy away would inevitably cause great turmoil. There are a total of 276 counties in 15 counties under heaven, and the essence of the "County Policy" is to abolish the prefecture system, establish the prefecture and county system, and on the basis of the 276 prefectures, select 1,200 places in the old city of Wubao market town, and set up a total of 1,476 counties, counties under the jurisdiction of the prefecture, separation of military and political powers, abolish the guard system, and implement the conscription system, so as to strengthen the centralization of power and restrain the powerful. However, the original condition of this policy was promulgated by the Inner Court, but now that the Inner Court exists in name only, how can it have the strength to seize power with the family? ”

"Zixing once told me that this policy is to set up a wide range of Yi counties on the basis of the original cities, which is actually to take over part of the local administrative power from the hands of the family to the central government."

"Yes, it turns out that a city has jurisdiction over a radius of hundreds of miles and four or five hundred thousand people, and without relying on the local family, it is difficult for the government decree to be implemented by the people, and the local administration and public security power are in the hands of the family. However, with the extensive establishment of counties, there is no need to rely on the family for administrative and public security matters, and the powerful family cannot control the locality. The abolition of the guard system and the implementation of the conscription system on the basis of the battalion military system deprived the local families of the right to govern the army. The old system of the capital and the two levels of the governor had great powers, which were tailored for the lords of the family, and often concentrated the military and political power of a city or a government in the hands of one person. Only the prefecture and county level have the right to govern the army, and the military and political powers are separated to avoid people [***] places. This is the essence of my father's "County Policy". At this time, if the families who can control a county like the Xun clan know the details of this policy, I am afraid that they will immediately implement this policy, suppress the small and medium-sized families in the territory, and establish a monolithic [***] regime, and the Central Plains will fall into a situation of many countries in a few years. ”

Although the power of nearly ten super powerful families can be strengthened to the point of establishing a reading power through this strategy, the administrative power and military power of small and medium-sized families have been deprived, and the overall power of the powerful families has greatly declined. You can't fail to see this, can you? Didn't Zixing hope for this when he was alive? ”

"The family is divided, and the world is actually divided, but nominally it is still the inner court of Qinzhou County. As soon as this strategy came out, although it could effectively weaken the power of the family and give the common people a little breathing space, if there was a country with nationality, the reputation of his father's life would be ruined, and Ru Yu had been hesitating in his heart. ”

Yi Guanyuan said: "Not only for the sake of the common people, but also for the iron hooves of the Tutu people in Fenjun and Youji, if there is no good way to strengthen the internal strength, I am afraid it will be a disaster for the world." The Xun family has taken advantage of the opportunity of clearing the Xiangfan Society, and has weakened the power of other families in the territory. If there is a scolding through the ages, I should look far away and be willing to bear it. ”

Xu Ruyu shook his head and said: "As soon as this strategy comes out, although it can please a big family like the Xun family, the small and medium-sized families involved in this strategy will not hate it. How can you ignore the safety of your family, sir, please think about it. ”

Yi Guanyuan looked at Xu Ruyu's deep eyes softly, and asked calmly: "Ruyu, please tell me frankly, do you have any ambitions in the world?" ”

Xu Ruyu's eyes became deep and distant, and after thinking for a moment, his gaze turned to clear as a bright spring, and said, "I will go to the south of Yuejing." ”

"Deserted city?"

"After the defeat of the Puji bandits in the East China Sea, they can only expand their land power from Wenlingyi in Yue County, if the Fan and Zhu families are defeated, he will occupy the entire territory of Jinhua Mansion in Yue County, and the five deserted cities of Qingjiang Mansion adjacent to it will also be pocketed by him. Dozens of bandits were co-opted by him, and there was no more peace in Yue and Jing counties. ”

Yi Guanyuan nodded slowly and said, "I understand." Ru Yu has great ambitions, and only I can bear this infamy, but I just hope that you can take Tingxue and Ami to the deserted city together, and the land of Hanshui Taoyuan will no longer exist from now on. ”

Xu Ruyu tidied up his clothes, touched his arms to the ground and saluted, and said excitedly: "Mr. Lao, Ruyu is a sister in this life. ”

Yi Guanyuan said: "If you can accept this gift, even if you are broken, you will have no regrets." ”

In the winter of the 52nd year of the New Dynasty, Yi Guanyuan had a secret conversation with Xu Ruyu in the Qingyan camp for two days and two nights, and asked to see Xun Zhuwu alone in the early morning of November 19. Xun Zhuwu hurriedly postponed the talks between Fu, Huo, and Xun that was originally scheduled for November 20 to November 30, and secretly returned to Huailai in Fen County with Yiguanyuan that night, asking to see Xun Gotai, the lord of the Xun family at that time.

When Xu Ruyu heard the news that Xun Zhuwu and Yi Guanyuan had secretly left Shangnan, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Youli beside him: "I hope I didn't do anything wrong this time." "The light in his eyes was extremely dark.

On the night of the twentieth, there was a waning moon hanging in the sky in the west, and Xu Ruyu, as usual, explained the military affairs and military art to Jimo Mingxi, Wei Yu, Wei Yan, Xu Zhaorong and others in the big tent in the camp. Liang Bao taught military common theory to more people on the field outside.

Xu Ruyu said: "Qi is a question that the generals of the past generations like to discuss. In the "Grip of Qi Sutra" it is mentioned: 'Eight arrays, four are positive, and four are strange. It can be seen that Qi Zheng was originally a tactic of changing the formation of the phalanx. There are four fields in the phalanx, that is, the position of the soldiers, and there are four pieces of virtual land, and the soldiers who stick to the field are the regular soldiers, and the soldiers who use the virtual land to maneuver and fight are the surprise soldiers. Those who are strange and right, so they cause the enemy to be false and real. If the enemy is true, then I will be right; If the enemy is weak, I will be surprised. But teach you to be right, and then know yourself in reality. Those who are in shape, show the enemy with wonder, not me; The one who wins, with the enemy is attacked, not my strange. This is called the odd positive phase transition. The shape of the person and the invisibility of me, this is the ultimate ...... of Qizheng"

Jimo Mingxi, Wei Yu, and Xu Zhaorong all have considerable military literacy, and are well-versed in literature and ink, and it is still a little difficult to understand what Xu Ruyu said.

Xu Ruyu looked at Wei Yan here, it was really difficult for him, so he wanted to sleep too, and scolded with a smile: "Seeing you like this, everyone wants to sleep, you go out to learn the two crosses with your uncle and grandson, and after you finish it, you will go to practice Biluo Jue." ”

Wei Yan was waiting for Xu Ruyu's words, and before he could finish speaking, the person had already lifted the curtain and stepped out in half a step.

Xu Ruyu smiled helplessly, and was about to continue to explain the meaning of "Qizheng", but heard Wei Yan shouting not far away: "Where is the kid?" ”

Xu Ruyu listened attentively, and a slightly heavy breath came into his ears, and his heart sank: Someone is visiting the camp. The left foot is lightly raised, and the distance of two zhang is easily crossed in one step, and the curtain door is opened, and the door is looked out.

Wei Yan stared at the people who broke into the camp, and Liang Baozheng quickly led more than a dozen soldiers of the Qingyan Army to defend the periphery.

The person who broke into the camp was not confused, with a white face and a slight beard, holding a two-section short song in both hands, and his expression was calm, and he did not look like he was in a heavy trap.

Xu Ruyu's mind sank into the inner knowledge of the five senses, and his mind melted into heaven and earth, and the breath of nature poured in endlessly, and at the same time, Xu Ruyu had a clear grasp of the surrounding situation. There is nothing abnormal within a two-mile radius of the barracks, the secret sentry and the traveling sentry are all on guard by himself, this person sneaks into the camp, obviously knows the method of setting up the sentry in the military camp, otherwise it is difficult to avoid the sentry post set by Xu Ruyu himself.

Seeing that this person was in a heavy predicament, Wei Yan looked calm, he didn't take himself to heart, he was annoyed in his heart, pinched the machine, pulled out the sword from the sheath, and poured out the sword like a knife to the campers. The steps of the campers were slightly wrong, the double Ge was horizontal, and the strong tyrannical pill overflowed from the momentum, which actually made Wei Yan's offensive stagnate slightly.

Jimo Mingxi was startled when he saw it, Wei Yan's unrivaled offensive was cultivated through countless killings, among which he was immersed in silver and had no killing machine, even if a master of the same level, fighting against Wei Yan, he would not be able to stand the fierce killing machine in his offensive and his heart was shaken, and now this camper was not only not frightened by the killing machine in Wei Yan's offensive, but also gave birth to a strong momentum that made Wei Yan's mind flawed.

Jimo Mingxi spent nine years in the military camp, but no matter what the rules of fighting alone, seeing that Wei Yan was not the opponent of the comer, he made a look at Wei Yu, and was about to jump out from behind Xu Ruyu, but Xu Ruyu stretched out his hand to block it.

Xu Ruyu said: "Take a look." ”

Wei Yan felt that the nest was extremely tight, and he swung the knife to chop, but when the momentum was extremely strong, the fierce flame in the person's eyes burned, and his heart couldn't help but be slightly cold, but the knife in his hand was weakened. Wei Yan's wrist sank slightly, and the saber swirled upward, striking at the front door of the camper, not wanting to be hit by him, the saber was full of Dan Jin, which was unloaded by the man, empty, and gave birth to a feeling of nowhere to focus.

Wei Yan's horse stepped down, and the handle of the knife knocked the right hand of the camper into the air, and the arm was downward, and the knife light was like an arc, sealing all the possible attacks of the campers. He stabbed out again, and a continuous stream of frenzied knives attacked the campers.

Wei Yan's offensive was very urgent, but the camp explorers were not in a hurry, and they defended it well, that is, Mo Mingxi knew that as soon as Wei Yan's offensive was released, that person would launch a more frenzied offensive than Wei Yan. Mr. Kan doesn't seem to be anxious at all, if Wei Yan misses, he can't remedy it.

Xu Ru snorted lightly: "Wei Yan stops." ”

Hearing this, Wei Yan was unwilling to stop, and retreated into the encirclement, the pair of tiger eyes still looked at the camp explorer with a shining light, and reported to Xu Ruyu without looking back: "I just came out of the tent and saw him walking inside with the tent. ”

Xu Ruyu stepped forward and let Liang Bao and Wei Yan lead the people to disperse. The campers chanted leisurely: "The restlessness is non-stop, like a gap in the dust, the shaking heart, like the wind, the thoughts are continuous, there is no intermission." It is for the sake of fame and enlightenment, so that the outside does not see the invasion of things, and the inside is not deceived by evil delusions......"

Xu Ruyu didn't wait for him to finish reading, so he interjected: "...... There are two meanings based on awareness: one is external awareness, which looks at the appearance of things; The two are inesthetic, aware of the emptiness of the heart, and are not contaminated by the six dusts. I don't say it to myself. My surname is also, and my surname is me. Internal and external actions, all because of the surname; Everything is heard, so I am called smell. Follow Qi Jiao, and the perception is unhindered. ”

When the campers heard this, they knelt on the ground, and their voices were already choked and distorted: "Meng has also seen the lord." ”

The person who explored the camp was the head of the forty-nine horsemen of Changge who followed Prince Wu back then: Meng Yi. The words he and Xu Ruyu read together happened to be the secret that Wu Chu did not pass on: the first paragraph of the general recipe of the Heart Sutra of Stopping Water.

Meng Yi and other twenty-four people were separated from Wu Chu in Cuiping Mountain, Yongning County, but in order to facilitate Wu Chu's assassination of Zhang Dong in Jiangjin, they successively pretended to be Wu Chu in Jing County, Yue County, and Jinyang, attracting Zhang masters to chase and kill. Among the twenty-four people, there are constantly people who have lost their lives in the hands of the masters of the Zhang family, and now only twelve people, including Meng Yi, are left.

After Wu Chu killed himself in Jiangjin, Meng Yi and others also remembered that they were also killed, and they were disheartened for a while and hid in Jingjun. It wasn't until the news of Xu Ruyu as the heir of Prince Wu spread all over the world that they decided to re-enter the WTO and come to Shangnan to join Xu Ruyu together.

Xu Ruyu hurriedly picked up Meng Yi and asked him to lead him to meet the other eleven people. They were all loyal subordinates of their father-in-law Wu Chu. Their aura was very similar to that of Wu Chu, which reminded Xu Ruyu of the unforgettable time he spent with Wu Chu in Jiangjin. All the things that happened in Jiangjin City passed through my mind, and I felt a lot for a while.

Xu Ruyu welcomed Meng Yi and others into the camp, and told them everything about the past in Jiangjin City, and for a while, thirteen people burst into tears, and it was difficult to control themselves.

On November 22, Ding Zheng led more than 20 people to secretly infiltrate Shangnan. Xu Ruyu remembered that it was he who discovered Wan Rong's assassination of the city defenders behind his back, so as to gain insight into Gongliang Youqin's serial strategy. After that incident, in order to avoid the Yongyang family's secret revenge on him, Xu Ruyu left him idle in Suyi City, and sent him to preside over the Shangnan Trade Road at this time, which was the right person.

On November 26, Xun Zhuwu returned to Shangnan. That night, Shao Haitang also secretly infiltrated Shangnan Town, and under Xu Ruyu's arrangement, he secretly met with Xun Zhuwu, Fu Xian, and Ding Zheng, and agreed that in addition to the 3,000 family members of the Ma Gang, the rest of the ordinary congregations who were not young and strong would leave the Xiangfan Society and be taken in by the Fu family in Nanyang Mansion.

The Xun family was eager to implement the reform of the prefecture and county system in Fen County, and Zhang Zun's 30,000 elite soldiers in Nanyang Mansion became an extremely unstable factor. Xun Zhuwu secretly concluded an alliance with the Li family of Qinghe, the Fu family of Nanyang, and the Yi family of Jiangjin, and planned to jointly take military action against Zhang Zun's nearly 30,000 elite soldiers entrenched in Qianshan and Susong.

On the night of November 29, one day before the meeting of Xun, Fu, and Huo, Xu Ruyu, Youli and others led the Qingyan Army to secretly leave Shangnan. Because most of the ordinary congregations of the Xiangfan Society will stay in Nanyang, there will be nearly 1,200 elite battles in the Xiangfan Society

Li did not need to stay in Shangnan, and was ready to evacuate to Yuejun in batches with the family members of the Ma Gang through Jiangjin. The first batch was the 200 horse gang children led by Xu Boying and Xu Zhaorong, who passed through Tongbai Mountain on the border between Yongning and Jinyang together with Xu Ruyu. In the southwestern wilderness of Suiyi in Jinyang County, Mi Wusheng led more than 500 residents of Zhuhang Town, Taoyuan, Hanshui, to join Xu Ruyu. Xu Ruyu led a team of nearly 1,000 people, folded into the southeast Hengshan, and entered the territory of Jiangjin Mansion in Yongning County on December 15.

Xu Ruyu stayed in Shangnan Town for nearly a month, during which many ordinary things happened, but they laid a wedge for the future turmoil.
