The sixteen warships led by Xu Ruyu are Baijiao warships, two zhang eight feet wide and twenty-four zhang long, and the size is much larger than the big wing ships of Yue County, but the flexible surname is not weak, but at this time, the sailors on the hundred warships are seriously insufficient, and the sixteen hundred warships can only rely on the wind to endure, and at this time they are slowly approaching the fifteen big wing ships of the Liyang Water Camp.

Thirty zhang, twenty-five zhang, twenty zhang...... Xu Ruyu and Zhu Tongshan didn't seem to have the intention of stopping the ship, and the warships on both sides were looking at the ship where the main general was located, and they were constantly approaching.

The soldiers on both sides could feel the fierce murderous aura of the other party, and strengthened their momentum more and more, wanting to suppress the arrogance of the other party. Only the coaches of both sides seemed to be in a calm state of mind like a clear sky, and there was not a trace of fluctuation.

Huang Fu returned to Zhu Tongshan's body, quietly opened the sword, and the Liuyun Ming sword had been drawn in half, and a clear light flowed out from the narrow mouth. Huang Fu whispered: "Lord Duwei, everything is ready, just waiting for your order." ”

Zhu Tongshan stared at Xu Ruyu's unfazed eyes, wondering if he had something else to do, or if he was playing tricks, so that he couldn't see through his reality and reality. Once the order is given, ten thousand arrows are fired together, the two sides have no room to turn around, they can besiege and kill Xu Ruyu on the river, there is still something to be done, if Xu Ruyu is allowed to get out of the siege, what kind of strong enemy will Yuejun face? Will the Fan family abandon the Zhu family and unilaterally form an alliance with Yongyang Mansion?

The large-wing battleship had hovered over the river for some time, and the hundred-tip warship was still slowly approaching. The hull of the Baijiao warship was nearly six feet higher than that of the large-wing warship, and it slowly moved closer, naturally forming a greater coercion in the hearts of the Liyang Naval Army. At first, the Liyang Navy appeared in front of the grain fleet with a strong and contemptuous attitude, and unconsciously the self-confidence formed by the strong force quietly collapsed, and everyone wondered: Is the grain fleet really so vulnerable as it seems on the surface?

Huang Fu quietly reminded: "Letting the other party lean over is extremely unfavorable to my water camp. ”

Zhu Tongshan was shocked when he heard this, and thought to himself: The hull of the Baijiao battle ship is higher than that of the large-wing ship, and when it is engaged in a broadside battle, it is very easy for one's crossbow to be contained by the other party, and it cannot exert its power. General Qingfeng really lives up to his reputation, although I am conceited and brave, but I still fall behind in the confrontation with him, and I am unconsciously intimidated by him.

Zhu Tongshan was relieved, returned to his normal heart, avoided Xu Ruyu's deep eyes, and his eyes fell on the white and thin middle-aged face beside Xu Ruyu. Seeing his clear gaze, he was shocked, and asked Huang Fu urgently: "Who is that person?" Why is he not mentioned in the information sent back from Shangnan and Jiangjin? ”

Huang Fu didn't understand what Zhu Tongshan's question meant, and it was clearly mentioned in the wire report from Jiangjin that this person was clearly mentioned.

Xu Ruyu led more than 400 people to quietly leave Shangnan, Nanyang Prefecture, and disappeared until he led the crowd to leave the Dabie Mountains before he appeared in front of the world again. At this time, the eyes of the various families set up in Jiangjin found that the number of people who followed him had increased to more than 1,000. Jiang Youli, Uncle Sun Fangwu, Meng Yi, Ming Xi, Liang Bao, Mi Yusheng, Wei Yu, Wei Yan, these people all entered the field of vision of various families because of Xu Ruyu's relationship, Jiang Youli and Uncle Sun Fang Wu were originally from Youli Huafang, Liang Bao, Ming Xi, Wei Yu, and Wei Yan were Xu Ruyu's old people in Yongyang Mansion, only Mi Yusheng, Meng Yi and others did not know their origins, and the families did not have their relevant records, and it was very likely that they were Yefu mountain people who defected to Xu Ruyu.

Later, the nearly 600 Yefu Mountain people who followed Xu Ruyu were uneven in martial arts cultivation, although there were many powerful players hidden among them, but they did not go through strict military training, and Xu Ruyu's ability could not convert them into combat power in a short period of time and put them into military confrontation. Sixteen hundred warships, as well as the twenty grain ships that acquired the Jiangjin Ling family, made Xu Ruyu's combat power deployed on each ship even more limited.

There must be something wrong, and the news from Jiangjin may not be reliable. Thinking of this, Zhu Tongshan oozed cold sweat on his back, his eyes slowly swept over the sixteen hundred-tip warships in front of him, passed through the gap between the hundred-tip warships, and searched for the grain merchant ships that were formed in a circular defense formation behind the hundred-tip warships. Huang Fu followed his gaze and exclaimed: "It seems that the sailors on the sloop grain carrier are not those who followed Xu Ruyu, and it is very likely that the Jiangjin family is secretly supporting Xu Ruyu. ”

Zhu Tongshan nodded slowly and said: "Xu Ruyu, with the support of the Jiangjin family, secretly hired sailors from Jiangjin City to carry grain ships, and there must be a few warships among the sixteen warships that hide enough shippers, and the mobile surname is not weaker than the big wing ship, plus the Yongyang strong crossbow machine equipped on the hundred warships, the attack power has been better than the big wing ships." If we had attacked rashly, we would have been caught off guard by these ships. Zhu Tongshan sighed secretly, and ordered in a deep voice: "Lift the attack order, and form a swallowtail formation to greet General Qingfeng." ”

Huang Fu gave the order as he said. The two wings of the arc-shaped boat formation slowly retreated, and the Zhutong Mountain Boat and an adjacent large-wing boat greeted Xu Ruyu's boat, and after a while, the fifteen large-wing boats of the Liyang Water Camp formed a swallowtail formation.

Xu Ruyu saw that the Liyang Water Battalion warship was released from the attack state, and smiled at the people around him: "Zhu Tongshan is not stupid enough to think that I will deploy an average of combat power on sixteen warships. Uncle Yi, let Uncle Ao Fang and them show up, and the other ships will remain as they are. ”

Zhu Tongshan saw eleven middle-aged warriors coming out of Xu Ruyu's cabin in turn, and the eleven middle-aged warriors all dragged Changge, Changge's whole body was like ink, and the silver light at the blade was clustered, reflecting with the water light, snatching people's souls. They stood silently behind Xu Ruyu, looking at the large-wing battleship of the Liyang Water Camp with solemn expressions, each of them exuding a heart-wrenching murderous aura, which was integrated with the breath of the middle-aged man who was standing beside Xu Ruyu before, making Zhu Tongshan feel that the tacit understanding between the twelve middle-aged people had reached a height that was difficult for ordinary people to reach. What's even more shocking is that this tacit understanding is actually the kind of tacit understanding that can only be formed in the battlefield.

Zhu Tongshan immediately thought of the legend about the forty-nine horsemen of Changge.

It is rumored that in addition to Wu Chu's superb swordsmanship, he was especially good at Ge, and the list of miraculous skills called him the first in the world. He carefully selected a group of qualified warriors from the ghost riders in Qingzhou to train Ge Shu, among which the outstanding forty-nine people, all of whom were black armor and black horses, with bronze masks on their faces, called Changge Forty-nine Horsemen. These forty-nine are good at sprinting skills, in case of war, this Changge forty-nine horsemen will charge the Qingzhou ghost cavalry, or wedge into the weak point of the enemy formation, tear the enemy formation, or use the strong in the face of strength, and sprint the most stubborn place of the enemy formation. Chang Ge forty-nine horses are like Chang Ge's blades, and Wu Chu always uses them to destroy the will of the enemy. Most of the prestige of Qingzhou ghost riding was established by Changge 49 horses, and the world heard of it. Wu Chu continued to train and make up for it, and when someone died, he immediately made up for it, so these forty-nine horsemen were like a steel lineup that would never be in shortage.

Later, it was rumored that when Changge 49 horses invaded Baishi, they were designed by Xu Bodang and Yi Zhouwu and destroyed together with Qingzhou ghost horses, but there are too many doubts about such rumors, when Wu Chu lived in seclusion in Jiangjin and tried to assassinate Zhang Dong, there were people in Yue County and Jing County who continued to pretend to be Wu Chu's identity, confusing Zhang Dong's audio-visual, and making people more convinced: Chang Ge 49 horses still exist in the world.

Zhu Tongshan suppressed the shock in his heart, and thought: Xu Ruyu formed a wild goose to meet each other, and one of its two wings must have a ship with the same combat power as its own ship, so that there are still more than 30 people in Changge's 49 cavalry. Xu Ruyu showed me weakness because he wanted to induce me to attack first, and then I had an excuse to launch a large-scale offensive against Yuejun.

Xu Ru's foolish plan completely made Zhu Tongshan's judgment wrong at this time. Xu Ruyu took in the changes in the expression on Zhu Tongshan's face, knew that the clever plan was sold, and passed the word: "Xu Ruyu led fifty-eight grain ships to go to Xuancheng in Qingjiang by means of Liyang, and I hope that my lord will be gracious." ”

Zhu Tongshan stepped forward, and the kind smile on his face made people believe that everything that had just happened was just a little joke between old friends. Zhu Tongshan said loudly: "Lord Jiang Ling Tianjiang has already visited the Governor's Mansion of Yue County, and the head of the family asked Tongshan to personally welcome General Qingfeng as a guest in Yue County, and he must not lose the courtesy of Yue County." ”

Xu Ruyu secretly scolded Zhu Tongshan for changing his face quickly, just as soon as he wanted to put himself to death, and now he showed the enthusiasm of the guest and host who greeted him from afar. Xu Ruyu asked Yayoi to send the customs clearance documents and freight list issued by Jiangjin Mansion to Zhutongshan's ship. Zhu Tongshan knew that he could not take the opportunity to stay in trouble Xu Ruyu, and secretly felt a pity, so he casually flipped through the relevant documents handed over by Mi Yusheng, handed them back to him, and said to Xu Ruyu: "General Qingfeng transported grain to Xuancheng, but also to relieve the hunger of the people in Xuancheng, Tongshan deeply admired, but the water and land routes in Qingjiang are not very safe, and I hope that General Qingfeng will think twice before acting." ”

Xu Ruyu thought to himself: You wish the fifteen big-winged warships led by Tongshan don't dare to touch me, and the scene here will soon spread from the eyes of all forces to the land of Jingyue, and the road will be much easier in the future, it seems that I have to thank you. However, his expression was solemn, and he waved his hand in thanks: "Thank you, Lord Zhu for your foolish idea, this trip is just grain and grass to help the hungry, and all the great men in Qingjiang should be able to understand my painstaking efforts and will not leave difficulties." ”

The grain transport fleet completed the transit procedures at the mouth of the Tu River in Liyang, bid farewell to the Liyang Water Camp led by Zhu Tongshan, and went straight up the Qingjiang River to Xuancheng. The situation of Xu Ruyu's confrontation with the Liyang Water Camp at the mouth of the Qingjiang River was quickly transmitted back by the eyes of the various families, and the bandits from all walks of life in the Qingjiang Mansion were convinced that Xu Ruyu hid a powerful combat power in the grain transportation fleet that made the Liyang Water Camp jealous, and there were different opinions on Xu Ruyu's intention to transport this powerful combat force to Xuancheng with the help of the grain transportation fleet, but there was one thing that the bandits from all walks of life agreed on, that is, no one should act rashly.

When the grain convoy passed through the waters of Liyang, Huang Fu led the Liyang Naval Division composed of six large winged ships to escort them all the way. At midnight on the 28th day of the lunar month, the grain convoy left Liyang Realm, and Huang Fu led the Liyang Navy Division back to the water camp set up in Dangtu.

According to the plan, Meng Yi, Ao Fang and other 12 instructors of the Qingyan Army each led ten Qingjiang war cavalry to lay a strict monitoring net on both sides of the Qingjiang River, and followed the grain convoy all the way to Xuancheng to prevent someone from impersonating other forces to attack the fleet.

At this time, the 12 Jiaoxi led the Qingjiang cavalry battalion to deploy control on both sides of the strait, 16 100 warships formed a goose first formation, and 42 grain ships lined up in three columns to follow. At this time, the warship was also used for commercial use, filled with food and some necessary supplies, as well as some ordnance, and 500,000 gold was in the cabin of Xu Ruyu's ship. Except for the sixteen ships with twenty guards each, this convoy of grain carriers had no other defense. After entering the Qingjiang Prefecture, the number of small and medium-sized warships that followed the grain convoy suddenly increased to forty-eight, and the total combat strength far exceeded that of the Qingyan Army, which was divided into five groups and spoiled behind the grain convoy day and night.

In the early morning of the first day of the first month of the 53rd year of the new dynasty, the grain convoy arrived in the territory of Xuancheng, Qingjiang Prefecture, and there were only more than 100 miles of waterway left to reach the Lishui estuary, the destination of this trip. Xu Ruyu got up as usual, practiced the knife on the deck for an hour, and took the sweat towel handed by Youli to wipe the dense beads of sweat on his forehead.

Wei Yan whispered to Wei Yu on the side of the ship: "Sir, a soft knife can also practice a sweat, it's really hard to believe that his cultivation will be higher than that of Mengjiaoxi." Do you think he is bluffing us like he is bluffing those bandits? ”

If Wei Yu had no choice but to follow Xu Ruyu at the beginning, now he has seen with his own eyes his strategy of using empty ships, which has made the Liyang Water Battalion led by Zhu Tongshan and the various groups of river bandits chasing behind the grain fleet lose their ground, and he has been deeply impressed.

Wei Yu said with a smile: "I don't dare to speculate on the level of Mr.'s martial arts cultivation, but with Mr.'s ability, if you want to achieve a meritorious career, you don't need to rely on personal force." ”

Wei Yan sighed: "Now even if we tell the truth about our grain fleet, the Jiang bandit brothers will not believe it." I thought I could fight all the way, but I didn't expect it to be so boring. Lao Wei, how about we discuss, seeing that you worship Mr. so much now, let's go and ask Mr. to change your position with me, okay? With you as the commander of the camp and can follow Mr. every day, is it not what you want? ”

Wei Yu knew that he was worried that he would have less chance to fight by Xu Ruyu's side, so he didn't argue with him, and when he saw Xu Ruyu beckoning, he went over side by side with Wei Yan.

Xu Ruyu took another saber and threw it into Wei Yan's hand, and said: "Seeing that your hands are itchy and unbearable, accompany me to practice the knife, how about trying my soft knife technique?" ”

Wei Yan knew that the whisper with Wei Yu just now had not escaped Xu Ruyu's senses, and took the saber thrown by Xu Ruyu, and his expression was a little hesitant. Xu Ruyu saw that Wei Yan didn't have the confidence to practice with him, and he didn't urge him, so he asked him to go to other ships to inspect, and he and Youli went into the cabin to eat.

Liang Bao, Ming Xi, Wei Yu, and Wei Yan are all older than Xu Ruyu, but it does not affect their reverence for Xu Ruyu. Among the four, Liang Bao was the first to follow him, with a straightforward surname and a down-to-earth demeanor, although he was not made in heaven, but careful thinking also became a great tool; Ming Xi and Wei Yu have extraordinary qualifications, courage and resourcefulness, and they will definitely become their right-hand men in the future; Only Wei Yan could not suppress the heart of killing in his heart, his surname was brave and scheming, and how to temper made Xu Ruyu feel distressed.

Xu Ruyu thought to himself that he was only in the age of a weak crown, but he no longer had the heroic spirit that a young man should have, he was all sleek and worldly, and he didn't know if he was lucky or unlucky.

My father was good at government affairs, and in the two bandits in Nanmin and the East China Sea, he started from rectifying the government affairs of the two places, and slowly tried to figure it out; The father-in-law was good at using soldiers, and the 3,000 Qingzhou ghost horses he led crisscrossed Qingzhou and Yongning for more than ten years.

Before his father's death, he hoped that good governance could be done in the world, so that there would be no more disputes in the world and the people's livelihood would be happy, but his father-in-law sneered at this.

Seeing Ru Yu sitting there alone and sighing, knowing that he would only show a sad face in front of him, Yu Li gently walked behind him, stretched out his hand to hold him in his arms, and asked softly, "If you find it too difficult, why don't you let Mr. Yi come back to help you?" ”

Xu Ruyu sighed: "In the early days of the old dynasty, the world still knew that 'the surname of heaven and earth is precious', but from the beginning of the Zhaowu period, forcibly cutting off the surnames of the nine kings and returning to the Han dynasty aroused the resistance of all ethnic groups and robbed the population of the surrounding ethnic groups, which became the supreme merit of the border soldiers. Evolved to the present, the life of the ant people is not as cheap as the silk silk, if it is not attached to the family, there will be the possibility of being sold as a 'raw mouth' at any time, but if it is attached to the family, the miserable life is not much better than that of a slave. My father pursued all his life that the world could be more vulgar and implement good governance, and my father gave me the small word 'more vulgar', which is where he lived. But the world is difficult to tolerate the gentleman's doing, in order to weaken the power of the wealthy family, let my father's "county policy" work in the world, and now I am against the sky, and the blessings and disasters are unpredictable. The basis of the argument of "Zhixian Policy" is Mr. Yi's "Balance of Power Policy", and Mr. Yi's understanding of this policy is far better than mine, and it is only possible for him to persuade the powerful family to implement this policy. ”

Yiguanyuan had a secret conversation with Xu Ruyu in Shangnan for three days and two nights, and then secretly defected to the Xun family in Fenjun, and when he left, he entrusted the Hanshui Taoyuan to Xu Ruyu. Only Yu Li knew a little about the content of their secret conversation, and most of them only knew that a mysterious visitor had come to the military camp of the Qingyan Army in the north of Shangnan Town.

Meng Yi and others can become Xu Ruyu's right-hand men in military affairs, but in government affairs, very few people can stand at the same height as Xu Xing back then and give Xu Ruyu effective advice. Shao Haitang, one of the six handsome, is detained by the Xiangfan Society, and it is advisable to look far away and cannot accompany him. If he can't change the general trend of the family's power in the place and bring good governance to the people of the world, Xu Ruyu is very likely to follow his father Xu Xing and not seek to do anything for the world.

Youli knew that although Ru Yu had now decided to join the WTO to help the people, the confusion in his heart had not been eliminated much. said: "Things in the world are rare to be done overnight, and you don't need to worry so much before everything starts." ”

Xu Ruyu thought to himself: Once you enter the chaos, no matter how difficult it is to stop, you can only take advantage of the situation, and it will be difficult for your heart to break free from the shackles. But speaking out his worries made Youli also worry with him, leaned his head back, pillowed on Youli's soft body, and said softly: "The distribution of mountains and rivers in Qingjiang Prefecture is intricate, forming a series of small bead-shaped basins, the topography of these basins is relatively closed, and it has become a small area with relative reading power, connected by a series of rivers and ditches such as Qingjiang and Lishui, which is very easy to form some important military towns and important passes, which is also the root of the bandits. It is rare that they are all facing east and north, which is conducive to going out and not conducive to attacking. In the southeast and southwest of Qingjiang Prefecture, there are high Yunling, Wuling Mountain, Huaiyu Mountain and the outside world, and there are Qingjiang, Lishui, Shouchang River and other river sources flowing through Yunling, Wuling Mountain, Huaiyu Mountain and other river valley lowlands as a traffic channel through the mountains, which can communicate with Jingjun, Nanmin and Nanning. My father brought me to Qingjiang twice that year, and he once said: This is a place of four chong gates that open and close from the inside out, and the shape is comparable to the three rivers thousands of miles away. The Xuancheng where we are now is the innermost layer of the Qingjiang Sichong Pass, as long as we gain a foothold in Xuancheng, we can slowly develop outward. ”

It was the first time for Youli to hear Xu Ruyu introduce the dangerous topography of the Qingjiang River, and knew that this was the outstanding insight he inherited from his father Xu Xing, and sighed: "It is rumored in the world that those who win the six handsome can lead to the world." It is only now that I have come to realize that it is the first time I have heard such a masterful insight into the geographical situation. ”

"Mr. Yi's "Balance of Power Policy" and his father's "County Policy" have the most incisive insights into the geographical situation of the world. "Balance of Power Policy" starts from the big picture, except for the three counties of Nanmin, Nanning and Nanzhao, and divides the fifteen counties of the world into nine pieces, counting four corners, four sides, and Tianyuan nine shapes, Youji, Qinzhou, Yue County and the East China Sea, Chengyu are the four corners, the three northern provinces of Fen County, Nanping and Jing County, Qingzhou, Qinzhou's Hanzhong Mansion and Jinyang's Gucheng Mansion are four sides, and Yongning County and the southern Henan Mansion and Hanoi Mansion in the south of Fen County belong to Tianyuan. Although the territory of the world is vast, it plays a decisive role in the hegemony in the above nine regions. ”

Young Li Pingsu also listened to the children of the family talk about military geography, mostly boastful, and Xu Ruyu knew and fell in love, but they only came together by piercing the window paper recently, where had they heard such incisive insights. Although he has long known that Xu Ruyu has a talent in his chest that is rare in the world, he still can't help but be fascinated when he sees his heroic posture pointing out mountains and rivers.

"These nine places have both mountain hazards and rivers and waterways to circulate, and are strategic places for the so-called 'mountain and river metropolis'. It is easy to establish base areas, form local order, accumulate strength, and project forces to the outside world, expand outward, and intervene in the overall situation. And among these nine places, the four corners are the best, Qinzhou Guanhe is four stops, there are Qinling Mountains in the south, Longshan Mountain in the west stretches, according to the plateau in the north, Huashan Mountain and Confused Mountain in the east, and there are rivers surrounding, it can be said that the mountains and rivers are surrounded, and the momentum is reunited. In terms of topography, it is a high-rise position on the Fenjun Plain in the east. Now it is occupied by the inner court of the new dynasty, but the inner court is weak, and the talent and virtue are not enough to occupy such a beautiful place, and the Suchuan Gu family in the west and the Xun family of Fenjun in the east are eyeing it, if the Gu family or the Xun family take Qinzhou, then they are the most likely to dominate the world. ”

Youli asked: "Mr. Yi went to the Xun family under a pseudonym and presented the "County Policy", isn't that the Xun family's most promising entry into Qinchuan?" ”

Xu Ru smiled foolishly: "If you can abolish the clan system and let the prefecture and county system pass the world, even if the world is obtained by the Xun family, why not?" When I say this, can I clear your doubts? ”

Seeing that Ru Yu's eyes were as bright as the moon, Yu Li naturally exuded a huge confidence, knowing that he saw through the doubts in his heart, his cheeks were shining, and he said softly: "It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that the strategy in your heart is not something I can figure out, tell me quickly." ”

Xu Ru smiled foolishly: "After all, the inner court is the nominal co-lord of the world, and it is more strategically advantageous for the Huo family in Jinyang to send troops to take Hanzhong than to send troops to invade Jing County, but the Huo family allows Hanzhong Mansion to become a paradise for bandits and does not seek to take it, that is, Hanzhong Mansion is under the jurisdiction of Qinzhou County, and it is the direct territory of the Inner Court, and the Huo family is a taboo for everyone." Mr. Yi's dedication to the Xun family of Fenjun "County Policy" is a double-edged sword for the Xun family, the implementation of this policy is actually to replace the family clan system that has prevailed for more than 300 years, suppressing the power of the wealthy family. While the Xun family's power is expanding in Fen County, it will also encounter great resistance from small and medium-sized families, which can easily cause turmoil in Fen County. At that time, my father wrote a brief discussion of this policy, but it was not published to the world, because it was considered that this policy would be extremely destructive while abolishing the family clan system. ”

"As the saying goes: break and then stand. The clan system has been prevalent in the world for more than 300 years, resulting in the situation of the world's heroes competing and families dividing, which has brought great damage to the world, is there anything more terrible than this? ”

Xu Ruyu nodded and said: "Mr. Yi was afraid of the terrible consequences of the sudden destruction of the clan system of the family, so he wrote the "Balance of Power Policy", so that all families in the world can follow it to find their own balance and slightly reduce the scourge of war in the world. ”

Youli said: "According to what you said, the "Balance of Power Policy" should be famous all over the world, why is it still unknown to few people? ”

Xu Ruyu sighed: "Mr. Yi first dedicated this policy to the Nanping Yuan and Rong families, and later let my father know about it and went to stop it. After observing this policy, my father believed that it would not only not eliminate the war, but would also very likely cause greater turmoil. Because the family that occupies the area of the quadrangular victory does not have enough strength to dominate this region, once this policy is announced, it is very likely to cause the male lord to covet the square victory and cause greater local turmoil. Mr. Yi did not fully agree with his father's opinion, but he also listened to his father's advice. Therefore, there are many hidden and handsome people in the world, and there is a "Balance of Power Policy", but it is rare for someone to get a glimpse of the whole picture. The Yuan family of Nanping County is the only family that has obtained the full text of the "Balance of Forces", in which the Chengyu County on the west side of Nanping County is a quadrangular resort. According to the "Balance of Power Policy": "Chengdu and Chongqing live in the upper reaches of the river, the terrain is like a basin, surrounded by lofty mountains and mountains. The Three Gorges of the River is connected with Jinyang and Nanping in the east; The Jiajiang River Valley, its correspondence with Hanzhong. In the 36th year of the New Dynasty, he was willing to commit a taboo in the world and sent troops to invade the gateway to the east of Chengyu County: Fengjie. The Qiantang Pass is here, and the eastern road out of the Sichuan from Chengdu and Chongqing is in the hands of the Nanping Yuan family, because of the gains and losses of the small Jintang Pass, Nanping County rises from the shape of the border land to the shape of the corner land, resulting in the extreme strength of the Nanping County Yuan and Rong families, so that the restoration of the old dynasty of Nanping is said to be beneficial to the surface. Mr. Yi realized that the "Balance of Power Policy" had caused such a catastrophe for the world, and he went to Shangnan to find me, hoping that his father would leave a legacy to balance Nanping. And Rong Yanmen, the commander of Nanping County's surprise attack on Jintang Pass, was only fifteen years old at the time. ”

Youli asked: "Can the "County Policy" balance the Nanping Rong family? ”

Xu Ruyu tilted his head slightly, unable to tell whether he agreed or denied. Xu Ruyu thought for a moment and said: "The "County Policy" is written against the clan system of the family, and it is impossible to suppress the restoration of Nanping with this policy alone. Mr. Yi and I are both worried that the restoration of Nanping will lead to chaos in the world, which will make the Hulan people peek into the Central Plains. The Hulan people have established a khanate court in Suiyuan City according to the Han system, restructured the army, and formed a foot battalion. The Hulan people have a blood feud against us for six hundred years, let them enter the Central Plains, and the disaster is devastating. Since it was impossible to stop the restoration of Nanping, the only way to do this was to weaken the destructive power of the restoration as much as possible and form a strong defensive network on the front of the Hulan grassland. Now there are only these two things to do, and Mr. Yi and I have agreed to go our separate ways. ”

"Mr. Yi defected to the Xun family under a pseudonym and presented the "County Policy", hoping that the Xun family would become the main force to defend against the invasion of the Hulan people, and we came to Yue County to try to weaken the power of the restoration of Nanping and the destructive power that the restoration may bring about in the future?"

Xu Ruyu said: "Yes, we plan to do so, but which step we can do depends on the will of God." The Xun family took the opportunity of clearing and suppressing the Xiangfan Society in Fen County, and has vigorously suppressed other families, and has the conditions to implement the "County Policy". Otherwise, how could Xun Zhuwu let us leave Shangnan Town so easily, he also saw the subtleties of "Zhixian Policy", and even more needed that there was a stable business path to support "Zhixian Policy" when Fenjun was reformed. Others may not be able to think of Mr. Yi's identity, but Xun Zhuwu will not be unable to guess it. Xu Ruyu remembered the several times he met Xun Zhuwu, and felt more and more that he was an extremely strong opponent, but fortunately, there was no major difference in the goals of the two now.

Xu Ruyu sighed: "It's a pity that the three northern provinces of Fen County belong to the shape of the border land, sandwiched between the mountains on the east and west sides, and the "Balance of Power Policy" discusses it as: the shape of infiltration, the mountains and rivers in Fen County are intricate, forming a series of military towns and passes, which are typical terrain for internal operations. If the Xun family can take Qinzhou in Guanzhong in the west, so that Qinzhou and Fenjun can be connected as one, they can not be afraid of the threat of the Hulan people in the north. ”

Xu Ruyu paused and said: "Yue County and Donghai County both belong to the southeast corner land, relying on Jiangshui, Huaishui, Qingjiang and many other rivers connected to each other, a complete multi-level water defense system can be formed. The most powerful water battalions and water armies in the world have appeared in Yuejun and the East China Sea. Now we all know that Gongliang Youqin and Xu Bodang are in fact in collusion with the remnants of the old dynasty in Nanping County, and for decades, the Puji bandits have invaded the East China Sea and Yue County in order to destroy the economy of the southeast corner land, so that the families of Yue County and East China Sea are unable to participate in the chaos of world hegemony. Xu Ruyu looked to the north, was silent for a long time, and after a long time he vented his dissatisfaction with the people of the East China Sea, and said in a deep voice: "The most urgent thing for Donghai County now is not to participate in the battle of dominating the world, but to completely annihilate the Puji bandits and eliminate the troubles in the southeast forever. It's a pity that Chen Yu, Zhang Jidao and others only have the interests of their own clan in their eyes, ignoring the safety of the world, and even pinning their hopes on Gongliang Youqin to contain Yuejun Fan and Zhu for him. The short-sightedness of the eyes makes it difficult to talk to them. ”

Xu Ruyu said this, and his chest rose and fell sharply. Youli has known him for many years, and when he has never seen him so motivated, he thought: Xu Lang is even more determined to abolish the family clan system. With love and pity, he combed Xu Ruyu's hair with his hands, hoping to calm the resentment in his heart.

Xu Ruyu saved himself from his gaffe, smiled apologetically, stood up, hugged Youli into his arms, and whispered: "My father has a saying that has always been remembered during his lifetime, and this is what he said: For example, the world gets along, there is no dispute, and the folk customs in the market are like old wine, which makes people intoxicated. ”

Youli gently recounted: "For example, the world gets along, there is no more strife, and the folk customs in the market are like old wine, which makes people intoxicated." For a moment, my heart wandered, and I was immersed in the beautiful scene described in these words.

(The eighth chapter of volume 6 "On Weighing the World" is not written thoroughly, and I will add a little here, the general trend of the world is basically finished, and there is another chapter, Xu Ruyu arrived in Xuancheng, Yuejun, and really ended his fame and began to rise.) ）
