Chapter 457: Defend the City

Not only me, but even Xuan Ji Xuanya was a little distracted, and they all wanted to explore what kind of face was under this veil.

After a short period of distraction, I said, "Mr. Zheng is a little busy, so he sent us to pick you up." ”

She was a little stunned, but she still went out with us, and after walking outside for a while, she suddenly said, "Didn't he ask you to pick me up?" Where do you want to take me? ”

I stopped and looked back at her, and she said, "Because of an article called "Seeking Yin Si Xuan", all kinds of people have recently found him, and many people have come to me, some of whom asked me to persuade him to withdraw the article, and some of whom asked me to ask him to continue writing other articles, what about you? What are you looking for me for? ”

It's a crowded place, and it's not a good place to talk, so I said, "Why don't we find a clean place to talk?" ”

She reached out and pointed to the left side and said, "That is the Baiyun Temple of the Quanzhen Ancestral Garden, I know the host of the Baiyun Temple, go there." ”

I should be good, follow her to go together, I have never been to the Quanzhen Ancestral Court before, but I really want to see it, Liu Cheng picked Dongyue in this Baiyun Temple, and Ding Ming is also from Baiyun Temple.

To the Baiyun view mountain gate, see is to the three coupon arches, carved on the flowing clouds and cranes, than the rest of the Taoist view of the mountain gate is much grander, but it is only the modeling. The three openings of the mountain gate symbolize the Three Realms, which means that hanging into the mountain gate is equivalent to jumping out of the Three Realms and entering the Immortal Cave.

The disciples of the gate all know her, see her are all bowing, all the way unimpeded, she found Baiyunguan temporarily borrowed the Lu Zu Hall for us to talk about things, the hall is dedicated to the Quanzhen Dao ancestor Lu Dongbin, into the hall we each to Lu Dongbin incense salute, after which she asked us, "You came to me in the name of Mr. Zheng, is there anything wrong?" ”

I said, "It's not that I want you to help with something, my name is Sun Qing, I am a student of Mr. Zheng Jun, and I asked the teacher to write that article, so I am looking for you this time, but I have a few questions to ask." ”

Hearing my name, she paused for a moment, then smiled slightly and said, "Your name has been widely circulated outside the Fang recently, and even many people in the Fang have known your name, and the reputation is mixed. I heard Mr. Zheng mention you, and he thinks highly of you. ”

I didn't expect her to be so calm, and when I saw that there was a futon for people to worship in the hall, I invited her to sit down and chat, and said to Xuan Ji Xuanya, "You go out first, I have something to teach you." ”

The second daughter should have gone out and closed the door of the main hall, and I sat facing her, and she didn't say anything, and I didn't know how to cut into the topic for a while, so I said, "There is no one else here, why don't you take off your veil?" ”

She shook her head, but didn't reply, presumably because she didn't want me to see her for what she really was.

I said, "I want to ask, how did you know the teacher?" Can someone match? ”

If someone matches up, it must be Ding Ming.

She shook her head and said, "No, I met Mr. Zheng by chance." ”

"What's the right coincidence?"

She pointed to the bluestone slab on the ground and said, "When I went out, I saw a lot of paper full of words on the ground for pedestrians to trample on, so I bent down to pick it up, and Mr. Zheng also saw those papers, and also bent down to pick them up, so we got to know each other." She smiled as she spoke, "The habit of a scholar is not to see others trampling on the paper." ”

Although I am not a Confucian scholar, I have read a lot of books, and I know this habit. This is called 'respecting the word paper', "Yanjing Old Folk Chronicles" recorded: defiling the word paper, that is, slandering Confucius, the crime is extremely serious, if you dare to do not hesitate to write paper, almost the same crime as not respecting the gods and Buddhas, and not filial piety to your parents.

In the eyes of readers, the most unbearable thing is that others tarnish literature, just like the Quanzhen Taoist can't see others slandering Lu Dongbin's name.

I was relieved that her reason was convincing enough, so she was not arranged by Ding Ming, and asked, "Does Mr. know Ding Ming?" ”

She thought carefully for a while, shook her head and said, "I don't know, but I've heard of him, it seems that last time he challenged the current head of the General Department of Punishment, and his spell cultivation is very strong, and Mr. Zheng also mentioned him to me, saying that this person is a person from the Yin Division, and he came to kill him." ”

Zheng Jun is not old and confused, I heard that he became friends with Ding Ming before, I was surprised, Zheng Jun is not like such a confused person, since he knows that Ding Ming is here to harm him, he should be on guard.

I asked, "What do you think about what the teacher is doing now?" ”

She said, "What can be done worthy of his life is worth doing, and whether it is right or wrong is said by outsiders, and only I know if it is worth it." I knew him and knew how hard it was for him to find something he was willing to do. ”

After asking a few questions one after another, I have ruled out that she is the person Ding Ming placed next to Zheng Jun, but I am still puzzled, Zheng Jun's actions have only made her such a confidant and friend recently, since Ding Ming wants to ruin Zheng Jun's reputation and not start with her, what kind of arrangement will he make?

I had to explore this question on my own, and then I asked her some questions, some of which I knew, some of which I didn't, and she answered them all.

It's not that I'm bored, I just want to know, what kind of talent does she have, she can be so valued by Zheng Jun, if it's a strange woman, she can be pulled under my command, sometimes the pen is more used than the knife and gun, and an article is even better than thousands of troops.

Those anecdotes couldn't bother her at all, and finally I simply talked about the military struggle, saying that she was a weak woman, and she was not an outsider, so she shouldn't be good at military struggle, so I picked the most difficult military battle problem, that is, siege warfare!

In the ancient army battle, the most difficult thing is this siege battle, asked, "The Black Turban Army has crossed Luo Yu Mountain, and the next place to fight must be the city of vain death, with the strength of the green dragon, it is not difficult to take the city of vain death, and the hundreds of thousands of Yin soldiers led by Yang Yun will definitely besiege the Black Turban Army in the city of vain death, in Mr. 's opinion, how to deal with Yang Yun's hundreds of thousands of Yin soldiers?" ”

After listening to this, she thought for a while and said, "Throughout the ages, more than ninety percent of the problems faced by the siege war are 'lack of food', if the Black Turban Army is trapped in the city, it will definitely go through these three stages, the beginning is 'fighting rice and thousands of dollars', then it is 'digging rats and eating', and finally 'cannibalism', once it reaches the final stage, the Black Turban Army will be defeated." ”

She asked the question, and I saw it, but I wanted a solution, and looked at her silently, waiting for the next word.

She continued, "As for the tactics, I suggest using the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's strategy of defending the city, called 'guarding the danger but not defending the river, guarding the river must defend the Huai', not only to control the city of vain, but also to control the perilous places around the city of vain, so that we can control the initiative of the battlefield, so that the battle of Yin Si is blocked layer by layer, and the black turban army can also turn the most difficult battle to defend the city into a relatively easy field battle, so that is the way to win." ”

I looked at her in amazement, I didn't say anything for a long time, I was really a strange woman.

I've been thinking about this problem for a long time, but I can't find any good way, because if the Black Turban Army wants to move forward, it must control the city of the dead, and the city of the dead will definitely be besieged, and the tactics she gave solve this problem perfectly, which even I didn't expect before, so I got up and bowed to her, and said, "Sir, I am ashamed of myself." ”

She said, "Mr. Zheng told me your previous story, the story of you using three tricks to force the Northern Emperor to exile Zhao Wenhe, and I am also fascinated, as well as Qingcheng Mountain's evasion of the real and attacking the false, as well as the strategies you gave to the Black Turban Army, all of which I never thought of. ”

We boasted to each other for a while, and when we saw that it was late at night, we were about to get up to see her back, and just as we were about to open the door, she said to me, "Do you want to see what I look like?" ”

I said yes, and I did think that she was a near-perfect woman, at least from today's conversation.

She then shuddered and removed the gauze that covered her face, and said, "There is no perfect person in the world, God has given me a lot of things, but I have also taken back a lot." ”

I stared intently, and when she took off her veil, she froze, her eyes and teeth, her eyebrows, and her skin like congealed fat, this appearance was not as charming as Su Daji, but it had a unique charm, I muttered, "You want to cover your face?" ”
