Chapter 307, Old Confucianism and New Confucianism

307

After Tang Hong learned the information of the Hu people, he immediately led a large army and rushed to a place in the southeast of Raoyang County, where there is a county, named Wusui County, which happened to block the only way for Lecheng County of Hejian County to invade Anping County, and on the way to Wusui County, Tang Hong was ready for a bloody battle.

And at this moment, in the Zhao Mansion of Zhao County, Li Zhang was full of anger, although he escaped from the city by luck, but at this moment he no longer had the previous grace and majesty, like an ordinary bad old man, as if overnight, Li Zhang's beard and temples gave birth to a lot of messy white hair and white beard.

First, there was its only legitimate heir, Li Ce was captured by the Hu people, and the result was also unlucky.

Thinking about it now, Li Zhang was like waking up from a nightmare, and was stunned to find that if he didn't count Tang Hong, he actually had only one heir, but after so many years, he didn't notice anything wrong.

But then he came up with a plausible reason for the matter......

After all, behind his wife Li Zhao's family, is the Hedong Zhao family, if he doesn't want to create unhappiness between the two, it is necessary to favor one person, after giving birth to Li Ce, he gradually noticed his jealous nature, and naturally stayed away, plus, the son-in-law has come out......

In this way, Li Zhang naturally diverted his attention, but he didn't know the horror of this.

However, even if this diverted attention, Li Zhang inevitably fell into confusion.

Even if he didn't want his prestige to be gradually replaced by Li Ce, and he didn't want the dragon vein to be used on Li Ce's body, but now he also understands that he is going to die after all, he was born in the wrong era, and all this will be left to future generations after all, but now that he suddenly looks back, this Li Ce is gone, and his only heir is Tang Hong......

However, when he thought of Tang Hong, he felt a burst of hatred through gnashing teeth!

However, after this hatred, the mood is also extremely complicated.

The gap between Tang Hong and him is too big, he doesn't have the slightest ability to fight back, he has lost to Tang Hong in various games, and he has failed in all aspects, this kind of failure is too great, causing him to have a trace of awe for Tang Hong in addition to hatred in his heart.

Although in his opinion, Tang Hong's methods were too upright, and even some took it for granted, but the result was that the other party's methods made him defeated!

The scholar clan who originally resented and alienated Tang Hong sold him so simply because of the 1,000 acres of land!

It was unbelievable to him!

You know, in order to win over these nobles and obtain the support of these nobles, so that he could smoothly rule the counties, but he made some concessions, which allowed these nobles to send the elites of the clan to avoid turmoil in the counties, and at the same time, gave the generals the lands that were ownerless due to the war, and obtained the generals' sworn allegiance.

And he himself often feels proud of his own methods, although Li Ce has some slight words, he is regarded by him as young and ignorant, and he doesn't understand the art, could it be that he should be the same as Tang Hong? Self-isolation from the world's corporals, self-isolation from the hearts of the people of the world, and even self-isolation from the world?

But in reality, he slapped him, and those scholars who were treated favorably by him actually betrayed him because of a thousand acres of wild land!? When he first learned the news, he couldn't believe it!

Even if he fled all the way back to Zhao County, he still felt that this might be Tang Hong's conspiracy, until the counties surrendered to Tang Hong, and the major scholars rejoiced and sang the praises of Tang Hong's great achievements, he ...... Believe!

At that time, he scolded in the study, scolding those scholars for being stupid, because of a mere thousand acres of land, they gave up more than a thousand acres, or even thousands of acres of land, not only that, but they also volunteered to dedicate those treasured books to Tang Hong!

Shouldn't they resist to the death with that Tang Hong......

As soon as he thought of this, Li Zhang clarified the reason for this, and couldn't help sighing, but he couldn't speak anymore!

He understands a truth!

These scholars are just a bunch of cheap bones!

You treat him well, he takes it for granted!

If you are cruel to him, and if you are a little more lenient, they will treat you as the Holy Lord!

But immediately after, an idea came to Li Zhang's mind.

And once this thought arises, it can't be erased, Li Zhang pondered for a moment, and summoned several people weakly, among these people, they were all people who fled back with him before, and this time he summoned him, he just wanted to catch this, who is the traitor!

As usual, Changqing sat beside him, which was the seat of his confidant, while several people knelt below.

Li Zhang casually found a reason, leading them to scold Huaxu God, and everyone opened their mouths to scold, although they didn't know what these people thought in their hearts, but at least they scolded on the surface, and Li Zhang nodded very casually, and then turned his eyes to Changqing on the side, the meaning was obvious......

Li Zhang has actually determined in his heart who is the traitor, but he still has a little luck.

In the past ten years, the accumulated feelings are not so easy to wear.

And Changqing looked at Li Zhang, his mouth opened, but he didn't say anything, he was very much like that Qingxuan, he died cleanly, but after all, he didn't do that, but lowered his head, closed his eyes, like a clay sculpture, and sat there, waiting for the angry Li Zhang, to cut off his head to vent his anger.

Li Zhang looked at the appearance of the Changqing Daoist, and suddenly, he felt that his body was really tired, and he really wanted to fall asleep, treating all this as a nightmare, and after waking up from the dream, he returned to the year twenty-two years ago......

That year, he went out hunting, and suddenly, there was a strange dense drizzle, but he accidentally strayed into the Taoist temple surrounded by peach forests, under the peach trees with colorful leaves, he led his horse, avoiding the light rain, and the guards on the side stepped forward to call the door.

Soon, a young Taoist opened the door, at a glance saw Li Zhang under the peach forest not far away, the two had just met for the first time, Li Zhang had no reason in his heart, and he had a good feeling, which made Li Zhang subconsciously trust this, dressed in a light blue crane, handsome appearance, and indifferent temperament of the young Taoist.

Perhaps, it is the best result for time to stop forever in this moment......

Twenty-two years of affection!

The two are also teachers, friends and ministers, and this relationship is today, and today, twenty-two years later, it is broken, shattered, and can no longer be stitched!

"Let's go down......" After a long time, Li Zhang propped himself up and waved his hand.

And everyone below looked at each other, looked at the Changqing Dao people, and hesitated for a while.

"All down!" Li Zhang reluctantly lifted his spirit and repeated it again, this sentence, in his tone, implied a kind of anger, but it was suppressed and not vented.

"But...... He ......, "One of them looked at the Evergreen Daoist, and it was obvious that this Evergreen Daoist was clearly a Qi Hou person.

"Get out!! Get out of the way! Get lost!! ”

Anger, irritability, and sorrow, mixed together, suddenly vented, Li Zhang tightened the corners of his mouth, his two sword eyebrows were almost erected, his face turned red, and he roared at everyone below, roaring loudly!

He couldn't understand that he had obviously guessed before, and even had murderous intentions, but he didn't know why, when the real flop came, he could no longer contain his feelings, what murderous intentions, what cold bystanders, what calm, all of them were left behind, completely dominated by a kind of irritability, anger, sadness, and sadness!

Seeing Li Zhang's appearance, Changqing's heart felt like angina for no reason!

Even if the two of them meet, Li Zhang and him hit it off at first sight, and they put their hearts to him, which is the arrangement of the ancestors.

Even if he betrayed him again and again, he revealed that important information several times.

I don't know why, seeing Li Zhang's appearance at this time, he was still calm and able to calmly close his eyes and wait for death, but he gave birth to many feelings such as regret and pain!

Changqing hates this emotion, hates this kind of scene, really! Really, very annoying!

He tried his best to restrain his emotions, so that he could recover his calmness and calmness, and restore his mind like water, but the original decades of foundation and Dao cultivation, at this moment, it took almost half an hour to restore himself to a calm state.

And Li Zhang, who was less than a meter away, also returned to a calm state at this time.

Changqing was silent, waiting, waiting for Li Zhang's arrangement, he knew that since Li Zhang let those people leave, it was definitely not as simple as killing him.

"I ......"

At this time, Li Zhang spoke, just said a word, that is, a pause, and then changed his words and said:

"Lone hopes, Changqing Dao Chief, can convey a message to Qi Hou for Lone, just say ......"

Speaking of this, Li Zhang was stunned again, and after waiting for a while, he seemed to be considering his words.

“…… Just said that he was willing to give him the rest of the counties in Jizhou, but hoped that he could change his surname back to Li......"

"Of course......, it's okay if you don't change it."

"There is only one condition for Lonely, and that is to kill the Hu people."

"That's all, I'm tired of the Tao, I'm passing it on my behalf, and I'm tired ......"

"If you are lonely and tired, you will not send the Taoist long."

After finishing speaking, Li Zhang stood up tremblingly and left.

Neither of them is a child, they won't say they won't play with you today, and they will forget about it tomorrow, they both know very well that no matter how beautiful the past is, it is only the past......

In the dim study, Changqing was still kneeling, stunned for a long time, but tears fell on the feast, he came to his senses, chuckled bitterly, and was hypocritical again, since they have all betrayed, no matter what the reason is, why do they need to act here? Disgusting others?

At the same time, in the northwest of Dong'an County, Qingzhou, there is a mountain named Gonglai Mountain.

Since Tang Hong conquered Qingzhou, in order to strictly prevent the invasion of Xu and Yanzhou, he set up beacon towers on the surrounding borders.

And on this Gonglai Mountain, there is this beacon tower.

Not only that, he also set up patrols in various townships and villages, with locals, veterans or disabled veterans as instructors, for collective military training, as for weapons, it is all standard iron gun heads, this iron gun head is forged through the template, the output is extremely high, specially issued to the patrol for use.

And today, the villages near Gonglai Mountain, seeing the wolf smoke burning on Gonglai Mountain, suddenly felt terrified, everyone subconsciously told the news to all the people around who didn't notice, followed by everyone without hesitation put down the work in their hands, and rushed to the house like crazy, and all the patrol members quickly gathered.

After the assembly, one part of the patrol rang the bell and was responsible for gathering the villagers and leading them into the nearby mountains, while the other part of the patrol acted separately, kicking open the rooms where important items were kept, taking away everything that could be taken and burning everything that could not be taken. At the same time, wolf smoke is released to inform other villages.

In just half an hour, the whole township was alarmed!

They know very well that things like wolf smoke are closely protected, and it is absolutely impossible for them to be misplaced.

In fact, even if it is a momentary mistake, they have to run, because if they don't run, they may lose their lives!

They are educated, and they keep in mind that they can make and buy things when they are gone, and when the food is gone, they can plant again, and if the fields are gone, Qi Hou will help them fight back, but there is only one life, they can die, sooner or later, but they can't die in vain, meaninglessly at the hands of the invaders, unless they can kill two enemies.

The news spread all the way, and soon, the county magistrate of Dong'an County learned that Yanzhou Guo Qiu led 30,000 people, from Taishan County, to Gonglai Mountain, and came to attack Dong'an County!

Hearing this news, the county commander behaved very calmly, even if there were 600 troops in the entire county.

The officials of all sizes in the county who were summoned to discuss the meeting were more or less flustered, and there were many discussions in each other's ears, and the whole hall was buzzing, which immediately caused the county order to be displeased.

This county order is a young man, he is from a poor family, he has been taking the imperial examination for three years, he thought that there was no hope, and he could only wait four years later to go to a certain village to read a newspaper, but he accidentally won the forty-third place in the list and was rewarded by the Marquis of Qi.

But he didn't expect that it had only been a few months, and he had just figured out the general situation in the county, and he was barely proficient in handling government affairs, when he encountered a foreign invasion, and there were 30,000 troops.

In fact, how can he not panic in his heart?

It's just that in that moment, he had a realization, as the county magistrate of Dong'an County, he can panic as an official, but he can't panic, the accumulation of these months has also made him look like him, and he has a bit of posture.

He saw that the officials were flustered, and suddenly, he scolded: "Silence! As an official, what kind of system does it become to be so flustered? Could it be that after several years of studying in the academy, you still think you are old Confucian? ”

As soon as he became angry, the hundred officials under the seat immediately restrained him and reluctantly suppressed it.

At this time, one of the mentions in the imperial examination suddenly appeared in his mind.
