Defend the capital.

After a large number of men in the city set off with the expeditionary army, the imperial capital of the capital, which was crowded with traffic and rubbing shoulders one after another, and the extremely densely populated imperial capital of the city actually seemed a little deserted for the first time, and many of the bustling streets full of flowers in the old days were now not seen for a long time.

However, in this huge city, which is considered to be the foundation of the patriotic state, the only place where the prosperity of the past can still be seen, that is, the central temple of the Yellow Heaven Sect is so large that it is even under construction in the forbidden place of the imperial palace, which symbolizes the majesty of the emperor.

Because the men in the family were forcibly taken away for various reasons, and they also understood that they were likely to go to the battlefield to fight for their lives, so whether it was the loving wife of the family or the loving mother, they would come here together to pray for their husbands and sons who were far away and did not know whether they were alive or dead, hoping that they would return smoothly and safely, and this was not only the common people in the city, but even the noble ladies and ladies of the wealthy families and the lords of the mansion often came to worship in the carriages that took the initiative to lower a few grades"One God", praying for the blessings of the people.

In the capital, which represents the center of a country, it has developed to such a point, it can be seen that the influence of Huang Tianjiao in the territory of the country can be said to be at its peak, almost permeating the whole country, and it is completely unstoppable.

In fact, according to the teachings of the Huangtian Sect, the temple does not force the visiting believers to give as much incense money as they need each time, just to show their sincerity, and at the same time they are afraid of the blame of the gods, so they generally give a lot, those nobles from big families, every time they come to the reward is around 100 taels, as for ordinary families such as rice, sesame oil, etc., they also accept them together, and will not be treated differently because of the value of the offerings, so they are deeply loved and supported by the people.

Today, the one located in the middle of the entire temple is the most important, and at the same time the scale of the area is also the largest, but because of the lack of manpower resources, the main hall that is still under construction is empty, quiet, not to mention tourists, even the pious workers who will spontaneously work for seven or eight hours in the past are not there, this is not a special day, but it is obvious that there are big people to clear the field, and the status of the other party must be extremely high, and it can even be said that it is the group of people with the heaviest authority to defend the country today, otherwise they would not dare or have the ability to do this kind of thing here that obviously violates the wishes of the Yellow Heavenly Sect, and will offend a large number of believers and cause disputes。

But I saw that directly below the huge dome that had not yet officially begun to be built, there was an old man with white hair, but his eyes were bright, his body was straight, and he was not angry and arrogant, he was standing in the center of the temple, and the sunlight above his head was shining down without hindrance, and it was hitting his body, and the beautiful white halo surrounded it, and suddenly set off his figure more and more tall, and the momentum of the whole person was majestic, like the Dharma Protector Vajra, he tilted his head and looked at the huge statue in front of him that was ten zhang high, and it took me an unknown amount of manpower and force to build, and he was silent。

He had already arrived at the main hall with the most solemn environment, and he did not go to offer incense, let alone bow down to the statue like those good men and women outside, and recite the doctrinal scriptures that were familiar to the people of the capital, but stood in the center of the room with his hands generously and generously, and even did not hide the entanglement and sincere disgust on his face.

This person is not an ordinary person, his surname is Wei Chi, his name is Lide, he is the descendant of Wei Chilin, the founding general of the Patriotic Empire, the son of the first family of the Patriotic State, that is, the uncle of Wei Chi Dan, who should be in the Liangzhou Pass of Daliang now, and is ready to lead the troops to attack the city, but for some reason, seeing that it was the time for David to employ people, he actually stayed in the capital, and had the leisure to come here.

"Click, click!"

When Wei Chi Lide was standing in the center of the room, carefully looking at the statue and the arrangement of the shrine, there was a sudden sound of calm footsteps from the side, but he saw a middle-aged man wearing a formal literati robe with a very strong official authority, slowly walking out of the dark place where the sun could not shine next to him.

From Duanmu Shuofeng officially ascended the throne in the capital, and then moved to Qilian City, after sending troops to attack Liang, this person is now the head of the local officials who sit in the capital and preside over government affairs, its importance and its own ability, it is naturally self-evident, the status is almost the same as that of Da Liang's Shangshu Ling Zhang Boren, of course, in the defense of the country, he temporarily received the post of Da Situ.

This person's name is Xie Shi, and he is also a son of a wealthy lord, and he is very noble, of course, in the officialdom of Wei and Jin, if he is not a child of a family, he will not be able to reach such a high position at all.

As he walked, he asked, "What is General Wei Chi looking at?"

Wei Chi Lide looked at the sympathetic expression on the face of the sculpture in front of him so vividly that even he had to admire the huge statue of the god, and said coldly: "I'm looking at my David's joke!"

It's just a fictional fairy god who coaxes the folk church of the people, and the temple where they gather can be juxtaposed with the palace that symbolizes imperial power, isn't it a joke, what is it?

Xie Shi did not echo his words, but smiled and said, "General Wei Chi seems to be very dissatisfied with this?"

Wei Chi Lide slowly retracted his gaze, glanced at the other party coldly, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you just pleasing to the eye?"

"Naturally, I don't like it. ”

Hearing this, Xie Shi shook his head lightly, and said with some meaning: "Not only me, but even our wise and martial Emperor His Majesty is actually not pleasing to the eye. ”

"But. ”

He suddenly snorted softly, then paused for a moment, and then lowered his voice and explained: "The reason why they exist is because they are needed, just like the reason why I Xie Shi was lucky to be able to sit in the current position is also because His Majesty needs me now, behind this battle, if there is no Huang Tianjiao to appease the people, I am afraid that the country will already be in chaos, so from this point of view, at least I should thank them, if they are really in need, I can even open the door to them during this time." ”

"Nonsense!"

The front was fine, but when it came to this, Wei Chi Lide was so angry that he even raised his beard, and he turned his head and scolded angrily.

"Could it be that you are being led by the nose by a bullshit church, a group of god-like liars?"

Xie Shi smiled slightly, then stretched out a finger towards the other party, waved it slightly, and said softly: "It's just a temporary position of the Great Situ, and when that Mr. Wu comes back, I'm still a little Lang Zhongling." ”

Speaking of Wu Heng, Wei Chi Lide's face obviously collapsed, obviously a little afraid and disgusted by this person, even if he quickly sorted out the facial expression, but after that, he felt a little stiffer, and his momentum was a lot lower.

"Say it!" he asked, with a look of impatience on purpose, "what are you looking for me for?"

Xie Shi turned around, raised his head, and looked at the hall in front of him from bottom to top, the architectural style was actually extremely inconsistent with the tradition of the Southern Lands, the expression on his face could not show joy and anger at all, and even his voice could not hear the slightest fluctuation.

"A group of rats from the cool country slipped in. ”

When Wei Chi Lide heard this, he was taken aback, and he couldn't help but scream.

"How is this possible!"

But in an instant, he came back to his senses, stretched out his hand to the other party, and shouted, "Why don't you hurry up and give me their marching route?"

Xie Shitou didn't reply, but just handed over the information that he had been holding in his hand.

Wei Chi Lide hurriedly took it, spread it out directly in the sun, squinted his eyes, and the more he looked, the more mixed he became.

"It turned out that they didn't go from Qilian Mountain, it seems that they are not sure to break through the Qilian Mountain defense line, it should be just some miscellaneous army, don't worry, but from this direction, the desert has fallen, right? Why didn't I know before?"

Xie Shi closed his eyes and did not directly answer the other party's question.

This old man from a family of generals, short-tempered, upright, in the years when he was in power, in the idea of defending the country, has always been to conquer the desert with violence, in order to truly ensure the security and stability of the flank of the country, in fact, I have to say that this idea is somewhat reasonable, after all, the Rakshasa clan, before giving people the impression of a group of immature wolf cubs, is a complete race, but although his idea is good, but it is not very smooth, the losses caused in the early years are great, but the benefits are very small, plus later Duanmu Shuofeng rose all the way, sat in Qilian Mountain, and dealt with the Rakshasa clan, naturally it was taken overAs soon as Duanmu Shuofeng arrived in Qilian City, he changed his previous tough style towards the desert, and became mainly based on softness and infiltration, and the effect was obvious to all.

It's just that this is still his mother's maiden family in the end, plus the old man just doesn't deal with it, and most of them are because of complaining about themselves, and finally they don't want to stay in the army anymore, but after returning to the capital, they didn't think about supporting several other princes to fight against Duanmu Shuofeng, so even if Duanmu Shuofeng later used thunderous means to defend the country, the old man did not have an accident, and he was semi-voluntarily left in the capital to retire, otherwise the one who led the army this time may not be the younger generation of Wei Chidun.

Seeing that he didn't answer, the old man also knew the reason, so he couldn't help but snort coldly, and then said a little irritably: "Okay, I know what you mean, damn, I usually don't think about Lao Tzu, and now I want Lao Tzu to wipe your buttocks, right?"

Duanmu Shuofeng for this battle, that is to do his best, almost the entire country of the strong people to take away, now where can I find a general who can lead the army, at this time can fight for the family and country, and qualified, the whole country is not just him, besides, even if he doesn't like Duanmu Shuofeng anymore, but after all, he is a patriot, so can he still watch the enemy and pee in his own home, rampage, show off his might?

Speaking of this, Xie Shicai nodded lightly again, and then said: "I'll give you 10,000 people, don't be too little, this is the last person I can come up with, even the Praetorian Guards of the Imperial City are counted, and if someone takes the opportunity to enter the palace and kidnap a few maidens in the future, it will also be counted on your head." ”

When Wei Chi Lide heard this, he smiled disdainfully, and said confidently: "I will intercept them on the edge of the Wei River, 5,000 people are enough, where do you need 10,000, ridiculous!"

Wei Chi Lide is not a descendant of Wei Chi's family, he has been familiar with the art of war since he was a child, and has rich experience in actual combat, as soon as he looked at the marching route, he probably guessed the true thoughts of Gu Xuan and others, and knew that the other party wanted to take the capital directly, as for why Gu Xuan and others would not choose to take a detour to a more suitable place to cross the river, or simply engage in sabotage everywhere, so that they were powerless to parry and exhausted, he could also justify himself.

People, as long as you really believe in something, even if many of the details show that it is wrong, you will take the initiative to lie through conjecture, which is why many scams are obviously very simple and easy to see, but there are still many people who believe in it, because as long as they believe it from the bottom of their hearts, even if they find something wrong, they will take the initiative to help the other party find a reasonable statement, and the most important thing is to convince themselves.
