Chapter 172: State Affairs, Family Affairs, World Affairs (2)

The four counties of Jingnan, this is the main strategy of the Han Dynasty at present, these four counties are captured, then Jiangdong falls, it is only a matter of time, and there is no possibility for Wu to rise up.

Wisps of cooking smoke, somewhere in the ruined town, rising, a little farther away, can still be seen, which somewhat makes the place that has just been hit by the military disaster a few days ago, and is full of desolate scenes, a little more life.

The small town has more than 500 households, a wide street, connecting the east and west, standing at the end of the street, almost the entire town scene can be seen at a glance.

Outside the town, there was a wall to block the infestation of outsiders, at this time there were only a few remnants of the wall, the small town gate, had been mashed, and the bloodstains on the wooden door were very clear.

There are more than a dozen shops in the town, and nine out of ten have closed.

Ordinary houses are scattered all over the town, not to mention that the courtyard walls of the houses are damaged, and the doors are closed one by one, and the tense atmosphere has never dissipated here.

Occasionally, people walked through the streets, also in groups, with a vigilant look on their faces.

A fertile field outside the town has been abandoned by soldiers and bandits, and now only a large wasteland, overgrown with wild grass, with mountains in the distance, and deep is the territory where wild beasts are frequent.

When this soldier is harming people, it is the fear brought by the beast that is not as panicked as the three or five soldiers who come.

Because there is no land to plant, the surrounding people often go to the mountains to dig some wild vegetables to survive, and when the war comes, they hide in the mountains to save their lives.

The silence of the night continued as the morning came.

With the hiss of unknown beasts in the distance, a red sun gradually rose from the east.

With the arrival of the early morning, there are gusts of fresh wind, a few wisps of cooking smoke rose into the air, and the wind blew it out, and the aroma of wild vegetables made it more and more unbearable for people with empty stomachs.

The dazzling morning light reflected the blood stains on the street that had not yet had time to be washed away.

A bloody smell had been spreading in the air in the area since a few days ago, and there was no sign of retreating, and it became more and more pungent at this time.

More than a dozen corpses that were dragged to the western outskirts of the town and had no time to be buried are even more a record of the tragic things that happened here.

A pair of two-toothed clogs came from a distance and stopped in front of the corpses.

Looking up along the two-toothed clogs, the Taoist priest in a feather coat, a handsome face, and a high bun of hair hurried all night, and his slightly tired face was still with a thin dusty color.

The Taoist priest frowned slightly, looked down at the corpses in front of him, and after checking the unsurviving mouth, he sensed the resentment around him, and the Taoist priest sighed helplessly, and said to himself: "Poor, pitiful!" ”

In his eyes, along with the spell, more than a dozen hazy black shadows were pulled up from the corpse one by one, the shape was no different from ordinary people, and his eyes looked at him in confusion.

Seeing this, the Taoist priest turned his gaze to them and continued to the next paragraph, where the dark aura of the underworld had already opened up.

"Dare to ask who Engong is, I went underground, and I am grateful for Engong's grace!" A dark shadow twisted and spoke.

"I am a Qingcheng Dao Vein Heavy Cultivator, passing by here, helping you wait is just a convenience." The Taoist priest said lightly: "This place is not a place to wait for a long time, it is important to go to the underworld quickly, let's go!" ”

With a wave of his hand, a ray of light shot out from the ground, leading the way.

More than a dozen black shadows understood, and they all bowed to the Taoist priest, and disappeared into the ground with the light, and rebuilt them until they disappeared, and then embarked on the journey again.

With the development of Jingzhou's strategy, because the Han Dynasty wanted to launch the Northern Regions strategy at the same time, and wanted to conquer and merge the state, Jingzhou's strength now will not be too much, and it was originally intended to enter Nanyang County, but this time it was temporarily abandoned.

However, according to the previous military strategy, Yang Yi has now moved to Xiangyang to guard, with her here, there is a problem with the Jingzhou strategy, and the area of Xiangyang can at least be stable.

Xiangyang can go straight to Chang'an from Wuguan Road, and if the strategy of the Northern Regions requires Yang Yi to make a decision, it will only be a day slower.

Therefore, after considering the internal and external aspects, it was decided that the Jingzhou strategy and the Northern Regions strategy would be launched together, and now the Han Dynasty has the strength to fight on both sides.

What's more, on the Jingzhou side, all the troops used were originally garrisoned, and these forces could not be moved, such as the water division, it was impossible to go to the northern regions, and the legions in Jiaozhou could not trek thousands of miles to the north.

If you have income, then the harvest will be great, and the world will definitely not fall into the situation of the Three Kingdoms War again.

Jin Yiwei and the internal guard teamed up to send a lot of people to spy on the military situation, and rebuilding was one of them, he was sent by the internal guard to patrol all parts of the southern county, and what he saw and heard along the way made him feel emotional.

If it weren't for the smoke rising in front of him, he would have thought that this was another town that had been slaughtered by the barbarians.

"Even if they are not killed, there are not many people left!" Walking on the street, looking at a few bloodstains on the side of the road, he sighed and continued to walk.

With the advent of the war, all parts of Jingzhou under Wu were already in depression at this time, and the war disaster came, and the people's lives were miserable.

Shanman was invited down the mountain, it was impossible to abide by any rules and constraints, extorting money and food all the way, if he didn't give it, he would be slaughtered, and Ding Feng, the governor of Jingzhou, couldn't be restrained at all.

Along the way, all the towns and villages encountered the people with poor faces, and the state of Wu also increased patrol soldiers everywhere, and it was even more difficult for these people to flee.

These, but it is not rebuilt to govern, and when he encounters a few tragic incidents, all he can do is try his best to save a few people.

The so-called qi practitioner of mortals is afraid of affecting cause and effect, although it is not completely wrong, but it is not this at all, but it is just powerless against the world, even if there are martial arts and spells, how many soldiers can be used as a sword alone, and how many people can be saved by spells?

Even so, re-cultivating on the road, what he saw and heard along the way, made him feel compassion: "It's still the Han Emperor who is right, the world is chaotic, and the people are the most suffering." ”

In peacetime, the people are just tired, although there are still heavy mountains on their heads, but how can there be corpses everywhere, no one for ten miles, like the situation of a ghost domain!

Then cast a spell to bury the few corpses encountered on the road, send the soul to the underworld, rebuild it to increase the speed, and want to rush back to Qingcheng Mountain as soon as possible to make a report.

Although the situation is chaotic, the Taoist priests who have the ability to come and go freely, and the rebuilding has been smooth along the way.

As he was walking along a small road, he heard a woman's cry for help in front of him. Free Chinese

Chongxiu sighed secretly, what he saw and heard made him understand what was happening ahead, hesitated for a moment, and still ran in this direction.

In a moment, the scene came into view.

I saw several mountain barbarians surrounding a man and a woman, this was obviously a refugee, at this time the mountain barbarians had already grabbed the woman, she was struggling desperately with her hair in a messy bun.

A mountain barbarian laughed at this time and tore it hard, his skin was already exposed, and there were several mountain barbarians, who were fighting against a young man not far away, and shouted in their mouths: "Don't hurt her, wait until we kill this man......"

"Don't! Don't! When the woman heard this, she violently broke free from the restraints, but in an instant she was controlled again, and the young man fought hard, but he was besieged by several mountain barbarians, and how could he beat him, like a mad demon.

At this scene, let Chong Xiu sigh heavily, ran forward, and shouted: "Stop!" ”

"That Taoist priest, don't be nosy, get out of here, otherwise grandpa will cut you down!" Seeing a Taoist priest appear in front of them, these mountains were startled and roared angrily.

Rebuilding knew that words were useless, and at this time, with a wave of the sleeves of the robe, more than a dozen paper figures fell, but only fell, only listening to the sound of "Peng", more than a dozen armor wrestlers were conjured.

This is the secret of the Yellow Turban Force, and it is also the true legend of the Dao Pulse to walk the world, but because of the Yellow Turban Incident back then, the shape has changed, from the Yellow Turban Forceman to the shape of the Han Pawn.

These dozen or so Han soldiers, burly and tall, armed with long knives, walked towards them step by step.

Seeing this vision, including the man and the woman, they were all dumbfounded, and one of the mountain barbarians was the first to wake up, hesitated for a moment, but let go of the person in his hand, and said, "Withdraw!" ”

Since this Taoist priest has this strange technique, although it may not be impossible to break it, why bother?

Where can't I grab it? There are many Han villages in Jingzhou, and the team can't beat it, but the team can always break it.

Rebuilding stood in place, ignoring it, seeing that the mountains were far away, looking at the two men and women who remained, Wen Yan said: "It is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, so let's leave quickly!" ”

As he spoke, with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen paper figures returned to his hands again, and he walked forward quickly, disappearing in a blink of an eye.

"Husband, didn't we meet the immortals?" Seeing this scene, it took a while for the woman to come to her senses and say to the man who had suffered several minor injuries.

"Lady, it must be the gods who came to save us, he is right, let's get out of here quickly, in case these barbarians come back, it will be troublesome." Although the man was shocked by the sight of the right talent, he did not forget what kind of place it was, and he took the woman away, and it was not far from the city, and when he arrived at the city, the mountain barbarians would naturally not come to wreak havoc.

It was said to be the rebuilding of the gods, but at this time, he was walking quickly on the road, and the sweat stains on his palms exposed his nervousness.

In fact, among the wrestlers who rebuilt and spilled, only two of them were able to fight, and the rest were just illusions, but it was because it took too much time to consume real power, which was also the reason why he hesitated before.

It's just that these mountain barbarians are bluffed and not entangled too much, which is a good thing for each other, otherwise, the two wrestlers plus the young man can basically fight against this group of mountain barbarians, and the rebuilding will also use a sword, and they can still win after all.

Although he is not good at using swords, he also has the ability of ten generals, which is not as powerful as Chong'an and other hundred or even thousand generals, but his potential is in the Dao Law, which is incomparable to others.

Rebuild sighed in his heart, and his feet became faster and faster, just to return to Shu as soon as possible, and return to Qingcheng Mountain, this time the task was completed, and it was also a great harvest, but it was time to save for a while.

At this time, at the Qinglian of the Dao vein, there were sectarians and several elders watching intently, only to see that the merit water around the Qinglian was bubbling from time to time, which was the embodiment of the increase in merit.

At this time, an elder said at this time: "I have recently observed the qi, now the land of Wu, but it is filled with gray and black gas, this is the resentment of the people, and the Han land is full of red air, more and more thick, the luck is certain, and it can no longer be reversed, this time the Han Emperor went out on both sides, but there is victory and no defeat, I look at it, after a few years, the people of the world will enjoy peace and immeasurable longevity!" ”

No matter how to describe the difficulties of Jingzhou, but the so-called "human king" should have the meaning of existence at this time, on the one hand, if you do not cultivate virtue, the gray and black air is soaring, and the corpses are everywhere, like a ghost domain, on the other hand, it is actively reclaiming wasteland and cultivating people's livelihood.

An elder was very happy to hear this, his tone was flat, but there was a trace of excitement that could not be concealed: "Zhangjiao, since the Great Han Guanzhong has been recovered, this merit and luck have gradually recovered, which is really a great blessing!" ”

"Yes, since Your Majesty praised my Dao lineage, news has come from the Underworld, and the monks of my sect in the Underworld have all been favored by a trace of law, which has increased the number of qi for my Dao system!" Another elder said.

Cultivators are not desireless, but what they want is different from mortals, and the law favors, even if it is only the slightest, is enough to make the monk happy, after all, not everyone can cultivate the immortal path, and most of them can only go to the underworld to cultivate ghosts and immortals.

Dao Vein Palm Sect's expression softened at this time, and he sighed and said, "It's a pity that we made a mistake before and didn't get the merit of supporting the dragon's head, otherwise how could our luck increase tenfold?" ”

"You must not take it lightly, you need to know that in this battle in the world, the dragon is fighting in the wilderness, and if there is a slight suddenness, it will be a complete defeat, and we are now with Your Majesty with both glory and loss, we must deal with it carefully, and we must not destroy the Dao system in our hands."

Speaking of this, the head sighed in his heart, he is also about to step down, when the Dao vein will be in charge of Chongjiu, Chongjiu is now in the name of Fan Changsheng, assisting the Han Emperor, and now he is a counselor in the army, he is already a county Taishou, with the full assistance of the Dao vein, I am afraid that ten years will be expected to be among the nine Qings, and then he will retire, although it is not as good as waiting for the year, but it is also comparable to Dongfang Shuo, and the future of the immortal Dao is expected.

"No!" The crowd should say yes in unison.

A few days later, the voice of the boy came from the residence of the master: "Real person, Senior Brother Recultivation has returned to the cave and returned to you." ”

"Come in." A moment later, a voice came from inside.

Retrimmed and slightly straightened his clothes, pushed open the door in front of him, and walked towards the small building, waiting for the abdication of the sect, he is the head of this vein, and he will also be the second person in the Dao vein.

The entrance looked around, and there was no one in the hall on the first floor.

"Rebuild, come up, I'm upstairs." The voice of the instructor sounded at the right time.

Rebuild and go up the stairs until you come to the place where the voice of the head of the house came from, outside the door of the retreat room.

The door opened untouched, and he stepped in, closing again as he entered the room.

There is nothing in the room except the futon on the ground, at this time the futon sits on the old road, the hair is white, the face is not old, and the body has an ethereal temperament, as if the real person in the legend can fly away with the wind.

"Rebuild has seen a real person." As soon as he saw this person, he hurriedly bowed and saluted, and the other party had already opened his eyes when he came in, and at this time, he showed a smile.

"Sit down and talk." With a wave of his hand, an extra futon appeared out of thin air in the open space not far from him.

After rebuilding and bowing again, he carefully sat cross-legged on it.

"Let's talk about it, tell me about you going to approach the governor of Wu Jingzhou, what do you gain." The head of the sect looked at the recultivation, the divine light was contained, but it was a great progress, and he praised it in his heart, and asked after a while.
