Chapter 12: Back to the Truth
"Good news! Good news! "Jin country, Zhongdu, messenger riding on the war horse, shouting loudly, attracting the attention of all directions: "Our army and the Mongolian army fought a decisive battle on the steppe and won a complete victory!" The Mongol Khan Temujin was beheaded! ā
"Good news! Good news! ā¦ā¦ā
The capital was in an uproar, and today it was jubilant. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The Emperor of Jin and the civil and military officials received the good news and were ecstatic. In the detailed good news, Wanyan Honglie told about the rather tragic battle of national fortune.
In the initial hedging between Jin and Mongolia, both sides suffered heavy losses, and in the process, Jin lost at least 5,000 troops. But after that, the fierce generals on the Jin side took the lead in the battle, and gradually gained the advantage, and the Mongolian side naturally did not sit idly by, and Temujin, as the leader of the Mongols, bore the brunt of the battle and took the lead in hedging with the Jin State.
In this process, the master of Zhao Wangfu, who was hidden in the vanguard of the Jin Kingdom, made a move. However, the martial arts of Sha Tongtian and his ilk were still a bit poor, and Temujin also had some warrior guards on his side, so the first step of the beheading plan was not completed, and he was narrowly avoided by Temujin. Just when the guards around Temujin were gathering more and more, Zuo Xiaoyou finally made a move.
With a flick of his fingers, a small pebble broke through the air, hitting Temujin's heavenly spirit cover. That small stone was attached to the left and right, and the destructive power was comparable to a bullet, and Temujin was shot in the forehead, how could he be lucky. In this way, Temujin fell, and with the sword of Zuo Xiaoyou cutting off Temujin's head, the morale of the Mongols also fell.
The army was defeated, with more than 30,000 Mongol troops killed and wounded, more than 50,000 surrendered, and less than 20,000 fled.
Of course, for the Jin state, the significance of this war did not stop there, and with the death of Temujin, Mongolia, which had just been unified for a short time, was bound to fall back into a state of division. At that time, according to the strategy of the left and the right, as long as the Jin State spends a small amount of money to support a tribe to make trouble in Mongolia, so that Mongolia cannot be reunited, then the Jin State can enjoy peace for many years to come.
A year later, a steppe tribe supported by the Jin State completely plunged Mongolia into a state of division, and more than a dozen tribes fought each other, which lost a lot of Mongolia's vitality in just one year, and there was no possibility of unification in a short period of time.
And this year, Zuo Xiaoyou was nineteen years old and asked Wanyan Honglie to resign.
"Why is Mr. Zuo leaving?" Wanyan Honglie was shocked: "But what is the neglect of this king?" ā
"Definitely." Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head: "It's just that the Mongolian threat to the Jin Kingdom has been lifted, and there are many master guards around the prince, whether there is a left or not has no impact on the prince, and it is time for the left to leave." ā
"Mr. Zuo must not think like that." Wanyan Honglie hurriedly grabbed Zuo Xiaoyou's hand and said, "Mr. Zuo, please sit down, come here, serve tea!" ā
"Yes!"
After the two of them sat down and the tea was served, Wanyan Honglie personally poured a cup of tea for Zuo Xiaoyou and said, "Mr. Zuo, please." ā
"Lord, you ......" Zuo Xiaoyou was a little flattered, and didn't know what to do for a while.
"Mr. Zuo doesn't have to be like this, Hong Lie is willing to do this." Wanyan Honglie smiled slightly, poured himself another cup, and picked up the teacup: "Mr. Zuo, please." ā
āā¦ā¦ Lord Wang, please. ā
Taking a sip of tea, Zuo Xiaoyou put down the teacup and said: "The prince has the grace of knowing Zuo Zhan, and Zuo Zhan is very grateful, but Zuo Zhan is still young, and he feels that there are still too many things to learn in the past two years, so Zuo Zhan will come to resign, not to go elsewhere, but to travel the world, sharpen himself, and hope that the prince will allow it." ā
"I see." After Yan Honglie was suddenly relieved, he also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zuo doesn't have to be like this, Hong Lie also knows the truth that you should learn more and sharpen more when you are young." Since Mr. Zuo has a heart, how can Hong Lie stop him. ā
"Thank you, Lord Wang." Left and right stood up and saluted.
"Mr. Zuo doesn't need to be polite." Wanyan Honglie smiled and said, "I don't know how long Mr. Zuo will have to sharpen?" When will you be back? ā
āā¦ā¦ Ignorance. Left and right shook his head.
"How about ten years?" Wanyan Honglie asked. Ten years later, Zuo Xiaoyou is only 29 years old, still very young.
Zuo Xiaoyou thought for a moment and shook his head: "Zuo Zhan really can't promise anything to the prince, but as long as the prince needs Zuo Zhan and does not violate morality, Zuo Zhan will rush back as soon as possible." ā
This answer has already made Wan Yan Honglie very satisfied. nodded and sighed: "After many years, I don't know when we can meet again." Mr. Zuo, you must take care of yourself, Hong Lie still needs Mr. Zuo to show the way forward. ā
Zuo Xiaoyou stood up and bowed: "The prince is loved, Zuo Zhan swears here, unless the family and country are righteous, Zuo Zhan will only serve the prince in this life, and will never vote for others." ā
"Sir, please." Wanyan Honglie is satisfied, although there is a premise of the righteousness of the family and country, but the left and the right are the Song people, in the next few decades, Mongolia is the first problem that the Jin State needs to consider, the Song Dynasty is so cowardly, it is enough to scare and scare casually, so the contradiction in this regard, at least before Wanyan Honglie's death, will not be a problem, so he is satisfied.
"When you're out and about, you're going to have to wrap up." Wanyan Honglie took ten gold ingots and put them in a cloth bag: "This one hundred taels of gold is the right to pay for Mr." If the entanglement is exhausted one day...... "Wanyan Honglie handed over a black waist card to the left and right, and said: "This is a Honglie token, see the card as if you see this king." Regardless of the Song and Jin countries, as long as the gentleman goes to the local yamen with this waist card, he will have his own gold and silver. ā
āā¦ā¦ Lord, Zuo Zhan ...... "Zuo Xiaoyou was really moved, a dignified prince, he actually gave himself all his tokens, such a personality charm, who can be tied today?" No!
Today, there is only one perfect face and a strong spirit.
"Please sir." Wanyan Honglie forcibly stuffed the waist card into his left small right hand, and then held his hand tightly: "Sir, come back as soon as possible." ā
Left Xiao and his right hands clenched hard, turned around and walked towards the door. When he arrived at the door, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and clenched his fists: "Lord Wang, Zuo Zhan is gone." ā
"Take care, sir." Looking at the disappearing back of Zuo Xiaoyou, Wanyan Honglie sighed: "Sir...... Take care! ā
ā¦ā¦
A month later, Zhongnan Mountain, Quanzhen faction.
"Master, Uncle Zuo is back!" Zhao Zhijing panted and ran to Wang Chuyi and said loudly.
"Senior Brother Zuo is back?" Wang Chu was stunned for a moment, got up and said, "Go and inform your uncles and uncles." ā
"Yes, Master." Zhao Zhijing immediately went to report, and soon after, all the seven sons of Quan Zhen walked out of the hall to welcome the return of Zuo Xiaoyou.
Although there was some unpleasantness when Zuo Xiaoyou left last time, Qizi was also thinking about the future of the Quanzhen faction, and did not intend to target him, not to mention that Zuo Xiaoyou left for more than two years, but did not leave any traces on the rivers and lakes, Qizi thought that Zuo Xiaoyou had an accident, and he has been sending people around to find his traces for the past two years, but he didn't expect that the person had not been found, but he ran back by himself.
Seeing the intact Zuo Xiaoyou returning, the seven sons of Quanzhen breathed a sigh of relief. Although Zuo Xiaoyou is young, but in terms of martial arts, it has long been where Quanzhen's confidence lies, if there is no Zuo Xiaoyou, any one of the four absolute can easily defeat Quanzhen Qizi, but now that Zuo Xiaoyou is back, everything is different.
"Yin and Yangzi see Senior Brother." to the front of the temple. Left and right made a joke.
"It's good to be back." Ma Yu exuded a sincere smile: "It's good to come back." ā
"Little junior brother, you still know how to come back!" Sun Buer used the unique advantage of a woman to nag Zuo Xiaoyou: "You have been down the mountain for so long, but you have not sent back the slightest movement, we have been worried about you for more than two years, do you know what is wrong?" ā
Zuo Xiaoyou smiled: "Little brother knows his mistake. ā
"What should I do if I know it's wrong?" Sun Buji asked with a glare.
"How about the little brother cook himself and cook a good table?" Zuo Xiaoyou smiled.
I don't know why, since I picked up a frying spoon for the first time when I was five years old, Zuo Xiaoyou felt that he had an extraordinary talent for cooking, and the food he made was extremely delicious. Zuo Xiaoyou has been absent for more than two years, and Qizi's mouth has long faded out of a bird. At this time, Zuo Xiaoyou was going to cook, Qizi's saliva unconsciously overflowed, and Sun Buer hurriedly urged: "Then what are you waiting for?" Don't go yet! ā
Zuo Xiaoyou smiled helplessly, so he could only run to the kitchen, make a big table of meals, and share them with Qizi.
Between the meals, Zuo Xiaoyou asked, "Seven senior brothers, I don't know if Uncle Zhou has ever come back?" ā
Speaking of Zhou Botong, the seven sons of Quanzhen all showed helplessness on their faces, and Wang Chu sighed: "Don't hide it from Senior Brother, Senior Uncle Zhou left Peach Blossom Island three months ago, but we sent someone to invite Uncle Zhou back, but Uncle Zhou was unwilling." He also said that it is enough for the Quanzhen Sect to have us in charge, if we can't be the master, we can also be called by the junior brother, Uncle Zhou just wants to play the world. ā
"......" Zuo Xiaoyou pulled the corners of his mouth: "Sure enough, it is Uncle Zhou's style, so in this way, I am afraid that I will have to bother seven senior brothers in the next ten years." ā
The seventh son nodded, and Ma Yu asked casually, "Where has the little junior brother gone in the past two years?" Why has there never been any news from the rivers and lakes? ā
Hearing this, Zuo Xiaoyou put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said: "Don't hide it from Senior Brother, the younger brother first went to Mongolia and saw Guo Jing, the descendant of Guo Xiaotian, and the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan that Senior Brother Qiu said. ā
"I see." The seventh son of Quanzhen was stunned, and Qiu Chuji nodded with satisfaction: "The little junior brother is doing well, how is the effect?" ā
"Before the junior brother left, although Guo Jing's martial arts were not as good as the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan, they were not far behind." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled.
"Oh?" The Seven Sons of Quan Zhen were very surprised, and Qiu Chuji asked, "Is it really not bad for the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan?" ā
"Ke Zhenwei has already tried it himself." Zuo Xiaoyou said: "The junior brother also left a method about Guo Jing's follow-up teaching, Senior Brother Qiu, presumably in a few years' Jiaxing Drunken Immortal Building competition, Senior Brother Qiu is going to lose." ā
"Humph! Not necessarily. "Although Qiu Chuji is a Taoist priest, he is competitive by nature, Zuo Xiaoyou said that he will lose, how can he accept defeat?" Yang Tiexin's descendants have good qualifications, so Guo Jing may not be an opponent. ā
"We'll see." Left and right are reluctant to talk more.
"Just see." Qiu didn't say much, and a few years later, he was drunk in the fairy building, and he knew it when he tried it.
Sun Buji smiled and said, "You really don't admit defeat to anyone." ā
"How can I lose the opportunity." Qiu Chuji is very confident.
"Oh, the little brother is trying to ask Senior Brother Qiu for a trick." Left and right joked.
"......" Qiu Chu's momentum was dissipated, and he rolled his eyes: "Poor Dao doesn't fight with demons." ā
"Cowardice."
"What did you say!?" Qiu Chuji glared angrily, and looked back at him provocatively: "Cowardice." ā
"You...... Hum! Qiu Chuji lowered his head and pulled the rice, as if he had a deep hatred for the rice.
Liuzi: It's really cowardly.
Ma Yu coughed dryly and said, "Senior brother, you only stayed in Mongolia for half a year, where did you go for the rest of the time?" ā
That's right! The other six sons looked at Zuo Xiaoyou, he left for more than two years, Mongolia stayed for half a year, there are still two years left, where did those two years go?
Zuo Xiaoyou still didn't hide it, and said: "The younger brother has been in Mongolia for half a year, and he has found that Mongolia is becoming stronger and stronger, and Temujin is a heroic hero, with the heart of destroying and annexing the Jin Kingdom. And the Jin country borders on my Great Song Dynasty, if Mongolia really destroys the Jin Kingdom, then the first to bear the brunt is my Great Song people. ā
The words made the seven sons of Quanzhen change color, and Qiu Chuji said: "Is the junior brother alarmist?" Is Mongolia really so powerful? ā
Zuo Xiaoyou sighed: "Since ancient times, have I been bullied by foreign races in the north for a lesser time? The northern alien race does not produce, only herds sheep and horses, and the bitter cold land in the north will be very difficult to endure in autumn and winter, and there will be a shortage of food, and every year during the autumn harvest, they will go south to fight the autumn wind, not only rob the food of my Han people, but also kill my Han children, rob my Han women, in order to strengthen themselves. Even the Jin Kingdom was established by the Jurchens, and when the Han Dynasty was strong and the Tang Dynasty was prosperous, it was all the territory of our Han people. ā
"Now that the Jin Kingdom has been inspired by my Han culture, it has gradually changed to the Han family, even if it invades my Great Song Dynasty in the future, it will not go too far. However, the Mongols were purely nomadic, full of wolf nature, and Temujin was eloquent and well-governed, and it was very likely that they would defeat the Jin State. If Mongolia defeats the Jin State and takes the opportunity to go south, I am afraid that my Great Song Dynasty will really destroy the country and the species. ā
Quan Zhenqizi's face instantly became ugly, and Ma Yu said with a worried face: "In this way, this Mongolia is a big trouble for my Han people." ā
Zuo Xiaoyou nodded: "Senior brother, don't worry, just a year ago, Wanyan Honglie, the king of Zhao of the Jin Kingdom, led 100,000 cavalry of the Jin State to fight against the Mongols, defeated the 100,000 Mongolian troops in one battle, and killed Temujin. Later, the Jin State sponsored a tribe in Mongolia, which completely divided Mongolia, and Mongolia will no longer pose a threat to our Han Chinese for decades to come. ā
"Really!?" The seven sons of Quanzhen were pleasantly surprised.
Zuo Xiaoyou nodded with a smile.
"That's good, that's good." The Seventh Son of Quan Zhen smiled, but it didn't take long for Qiu Chuji to say, "That's not right! Little brother, what do those things have to do with you? We asked where you had been the rest of the time? What do you say Mongolia has done? ā
Zuo Xiaoyou shrugged his shoulders and said, "After the junior brother left Mongolia, he went to the palace of King Zhao of the Jin Kingdom, and then planned a plan to destroy Mongolia. (To be continued.) )
