256, Jiangshan Sheji
The more shocked Guo Pu and the others were, the more happy Wu Mei'er felt, this little girl's heart fell on Chu He, and now she is cultivating hard, just because she wants to get a praise from Chu He.
With the strength of the Changding Army, there is no need for a woman like Wu Mei'er to go to the battlefield.
Everyone in Qinghe Village knows that if you accidentally anger Wu Mei'er, as long as you deliberately say a few good words about Chu He, and praise Chu He vigorously in front of Wu Mei'er, it will have a better effect than praising Wu Mei'er for being smart and clever, and it will definitely make Wu Mei'er turn her anger into laughter.
It is no secret that the civil and military initiates of Chu River are in Tianshui County.
After all, in the Great War, in front of more than 100,000 soldiers, Chu He sang super war poems such as summer quatrains and Fenglai three chapters.
Except for a few real hole cards that cannot be exposed, the better Chu He performs, the stronger his strength, and the more he can be supported by the people.
Only Jing Xiong and other outsiders who didn't know the details heard Wu Mei'er tell the fact that Chu He was a fellow practitioner of civil and military affairs, and heard that Chu He was already a scholar of the Five Grades, that they were dumbfounded and speechless for a long time.
No matter how well people's livelihood is governed, it must have the strength to protect it.
For example, today, the people of Shuijun are extremely supportive of the Chu River, in addition to the fact that the Chu River makes their lives better and better, it is because the Changding Army is strong enough to ensure that their good life will continue.
When a lone ranger, it is naturally good to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, but as the head of a big force, it is the opposite, you must not pretend to be a weakling, but the stronger you are, the better.
At the beginning, many of the strong warriors who defected to the Changding Army nominally obeyed Chu He's orders, but secretly had their own small calculations and refused to really give Chu He's life.
Later, Chu He summoned the leaders of these wealthy clans to take refuge in the military parade and fought with the dragon and the god of war, and that night more than a dozen patriarchs of the scholar clan came to meet Chu He, sent a blood letter, and swore allegiance to Chu He.
This is the same reason as the military parades and military exercises of major countries in the future generations of the earth.
The declaration of force can enhance the national pride of the people, deter foreign enemies, and achieve the effect of surrendering the army without a fight.
Chu He naturally knew how shocking it was for him to cultivate at such an age, and he was also very aware of the shock in the hearts of Guo Pu and the others.
There was no expression on his face, he just said lightly: "Chu just inadvertently made a few battle poems, got the blessing of luck, and was lucky to be promoted to a fifth-grade university scholar." ”
Guo Pu and the others were speechless, and they couldn't help but give Chu He a thumbs up.
Wupin scholars, how many can there be in the world, it can be said that among millions of people, that is, there are only two or three, in the past, there was a huge Qinzhou, millions of people, and there was not even a five-grade scholar!
Any five-grade power has the qualifications to defend one side and become a general who defends the territory.
Now the rebellious Yizhou army, the six-grade power is only three, five or seven, and the five-grade powerhouse is only dozens, and they have dared to confront the Shu Kingdom, which has tens of millions of male soldiers, as well as eight-grade national soldiers and seven-grade war gods.
Having said that, war poems that can gather luck can be made casually?
If it was so easy to promote to the five-rank realm, Guo Pu would not have to go to great lengths to serve as the governor of Shu State, intending to get a lot of luck blessings, so as to impact the five-grade realm.
There is no need to curry favor with Chu He, a little warrior in the Strong Bone Realm, and is ready to support Chu He to ascend to the Hidden Dragon List, enhance the reputation of Qin Prefecture, and help him, the state pastor, gather luck.
If it weren't for this reason, no matter how against the sky the Chu River was at the beginning, no matter how much he could fight beyond the ranks, compared to a Blood Condensation Realm martial artist, he was still a strong bone realm martial artist, so why should he be deliberately treated by the high-powered Qinzhou Prefecture Mu.
In Qinzhou City, there are many great powers that can kill Chu He at will, not to mention the four major bachelors and ten martial arts, that is, many peak-level third-grade martial artists and Confucian scholars can kill Chu He.
Chu He pretended to be forced quietly in front of these defeated generals in Qinzhou, and then did not continue the topic, his eyes fell on Jing Xiong, and he asked after a deep sigh: "Brother Jing, now that Qinzhou has been captured by the Southern Barbarian Army, I don't know what Brother Jing and Lord Guo are going to do next?"
Jing Xiong's face changed slightly, and finally he sighed, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "What do I have plans for now?" See the walking steps. ”
Guo Pu hesitated for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Chu ...... Brother, I wonder if Guo Pu can take the liberty of asking?"
In the past, he called Chu He Qianyuan as an elder, but now he can't call it that, so he simply calls Jing Xiong Brother Chu, in fact, he feels that his title is a bit high, but he can't let go of the previous shelf for a while.
Chu He nodded: "I don't know what's wrong with the situation?"
Guo Pu and the bus looked at each other, and then said in a deep voice: "Please don't be surprised by Brother Chu." ”
"Now the Southern Barbarian Army is powerful, with a million male soldiers, and the Changding Army under the command of a certain Guanchu brother is extremely elite, but there must not be many such elites, why can they settle in Tianshui County, why didn't the Southern Barbarian Army wave their troops to capture Tianshui County?"
Saying that, he hesitated again and continued: "Don't hide it from Brother Chu, we escaped from Qinzhou City, and were chased and killed by the Southern Barbarian Army all the way. ”
Chu He smiled faintly: "The situation is too worried." Chu He does not hide from you, in fact, our Changding Army has formed an alliance with the Southern Barbarian Army, and the Southern Barbarian Army will not attack our Tianshui County, so you can stay here with peace of mind. ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of Guo Pu and the others changed slightly.
They actually expected it in their hearts, but Chu He said it himself, and he was still a little unacceptable for a while.
Although the Changding army is elite, it is at best 20,000 or 30,000 men and horses, how can it be compared with the Southern Barbarian Army with a million strong soldiers, if it is not allied with the Southern Barbarian Army, how can it live in a corner of the place.
In fact, the alliance between the Changding army and the Southern Barbarian Army was already the best result, and Guo Pu even thought that the Changding Army had already surrendered to the Southern Barbarian Army and became Meng Huo's subordinate.
Although he had expected it, the public transport car still sank slightly, and snorted and said: "Chu Shuai, the Southern Barbarian Army is ungrateful, taking advantage of the succession of the new emperor of our Shu Kingdom and the turbulent situation in the court, uniting with the Yellow Turban Demon Army, brazenly raising troops against Shu, such chaotic ministers and thieves will definitely be shamed by the people of the world." ”
"Now is the time for us to make meritorious contributions, be loyal to the Son of Heaven, and serve the imperial court, since you have a strong army, why didn't you wave your army to the north at the beginning, and join forces with my Qinzhou soldiers and horses, and destroy this Shu rebel army in one fell swoop?"
Guo Pu and the others' faces suddenly changed greatly.
Especially Zou Jing, he almost scolded out, you are really old and confused, knowing that Chu He has heavy troops, and he is still on other people's territory, in front of the generals and officials of the Standing Army, he scolded Chu He like this, isn't it a lantern in the pit - looking for death?
What's more, he is not much better, when Qinzhou City fell, regardless of the life or death of the city's people, he led his troops to leave Qinzhou, how could he be qualified to scold others?
Xiang Xiong, Ding Meng, Chen Tong and other generals of the Standing Army who came with the Chu River suddenly turned pale and looked at the bus angrily.
Chu He was not annoyed or angry, raised his hand slightly to signal the generals, and then said lightly: "The general of the public defeat is wrong, I often set the army to be white-bodied, and I have done my duty by paying taxes and food at ordinary times." ”
"If Shu encounters a military disaster, we need to wait for our white body to serve the imperial court, then what is the point of us paying all kinds of military taxes and grain taxes, and feeding the imperial army with rice and grain irrigated by sweat?"
"If this is really the case, then the imperial court simply disbanded the army, let them go home to cultivate the fields, exempt from all kinds of heavy taxes, and wait for the Shu country to be in trouble, we will naturally not stand idly by. ”
The bus was speechless for a moment, and he really didn't know how to refute Chu He for a while.
In his heart, he has always felt that any Shu people have the obligation to help Shu repel the enemy army, and the Shu army also does this, whenever the battle starts, the people will be recruited to assist the army in the battle.
The problem is that the people of Chu River make sense, the people usually take out most of the money, silver, rice and grain to feed the imperial army, if they still have to contribute to the battle, then why should they spend rice and grain in vain to pay all kinds of taxes?
Gong Yiche thought for a while, and then said: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, even if it is a white-bodied Shu clan, what is cultivated is His Majesty's field, and it is supposed to pay taxes." Even if the imperial court doesn't support the army, can the white-bodied Shu clan cultivate the fields at will without paying any price?"
Chu He looked at the public loss car with a smile: "According to the meaning of the public general, then the fields we are waiting for are all from the imperial court, and it is right to cultivate the fields of the imperial court and pay taxes." But why should we pay with our lives to protect what is not our own?"
"Could it be that after the Southern Barbarian Army got the world, they didn't give us the land to cultivate?"
The bus was dumbfounded for a while, and only after a while did he say stupidly: "Chu Shuai is worthy of being a five-grade scholar with amazing knowledge, and he is good at arguing, and he thinks that he is not as good as the public loser." But does Chu Shuai dare to say that the Changding army under his command is just a white body, and not a real army?"
Chu He smiled faintly: "General Gong is right! This Changding army under the command of Chu is actually just a people's strong team, which was originally to protect the peace and happiness of the countryside and resist the township protection team of mountain bandits and robbers. ”
Later, Qinzhou was in turmoil, and more and more displaced people poured into Datong County, and Chu couldn't watch them mess with the people of Datong, so he simply gathered them. ”
He looked at the public losing car teasingly: "As a result, there are too many people, and others think that our township protection team has become an army, if it causes a misunderstanding of the public losing general, Chu will just say sorry here." ”
The bus was stunned for a moment, and finally snorted stupidly, and simply stopped talking.
Chu He didn't stop, and then said: "Actually, the general is right, the so-called skin does not exist, Mao will be attached, if Shu is defeated, it will be these hundreds of millions of people who suffer." ”
But the sages of Mencius once said that the people are precious, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light. Since the imperial court is now unable to protect the people under its rule, and Chu He is supported by the people, he can't just watch the people under his rule, and put them in fire and water for the selfishness of Chu's meritorious service. ”
His gaze suddenly became sharp, he slowly glanced at everyone, and finally his gaze fell on Dong Ju, the most inconspicuous among the people: "Mencius and sages all said that the people are the most important, if the king can't make the people live better, he should abdicate and give way to the virtuous!"
"Since the millions of people in Tianshui County have entrusted their lives to Chu, Chu He will definitely try his best to protect them. ”
"Whoever wants to harm the people of Tianshui County and destroy the peace of this place, whether it is the Southern Barbarian Army, the Yellow Turban Army, or even the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, they have to ask whether the blades in the hands of our Changding Army will agree!"
The Changding Army formed an alliance with the Southern Barbarian Army, and in fact was a member of the anti-Shu army, but saying it so unabashedly still shocked everyone's hearts, and they looked at Chu He speechless for a long time.
Dong Ju only felt that Chu He's gaze went straight into his heart and lungs like a knife, and at the same time he was shocked, but he wondered why Chu He paid so much attention to himself.
He had felt a little strange before, when Jing Xiong introduced himself to Chu He, Chu He's expression was a little strange, and his eyes obviously paused on himself.
You must know that he is just a third-grade blood condensation realm martial artist and a second-grade martial arts scholar, although he is a fellow practitioner in civil and martial arts, and he is also a little famous in Qinzhou City, and is known as a first-day talent, but in the eyes of Chu He, who has reached the fifth grade or even a higher level in the civil and military realm, his strength and fame are not worth mentioning.
Seeing that Chu He's gaze didn't move away for a long time, Dong Ju gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and looked at Chu He without fear, and asked in a deep voice: "Chu Shuai's words are really shocking, but Dong is a little confused, dare to ask Chu Shuai can really do what he said above?"
Chen Tong finally couldn't help but say sarcastically at this time: "After the Yellow Turban Army broke through Qinzhou City two years ago, it raised 200,000 troops to attack Tianshui Fenglai County, and our Changding army did not have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, but they fought to the death and did not retreat, and more than half of the soldiers and horses were lost!"
"In the end, under the leadership of Chu Shuai, we defeated 200,000 Yellow Turban elites and blessed the millions of people in Tianshui County!"
Guo Pu was stunned for a moment: "The Yellow Turban Army once attacked Fenglai County, or is it as many as 200,000 soldiers and horses?"
Chen Tong said proudly: "Could it be that this general will still deceive you? If not, do you think that our Changding Army is qualified to form an alliance with the Southern Barbarian Army?"
Guo Pu and the others were speechless for a moment.
They naturally know the strength of the Yellow Turban Army, most of the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were deceived by the Yellow Turban Fangshi's fallacies, and believed in the Yellow Sky Avenue, and they were not afraid of death in battle, extremely difficult, and often suffered more than half of the casualties and could maintain morale, and ordinary troops, two percent of the casualties were enough to make the army collapse.
The Changding army was so terrifying that it was able to defeat 200,000 Yellow Turban elites with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses?
When the Changding army defeated the Yellow Turban Army, Guo Pu and others hid in the deep mountains and dense forests, avoiding the pursuit of the Southern Barbarian Army, and then went all the way south, in order to avoid the mountain people from ventilating the news, and also in order to avoid the pursuit of the Southern Barbarian Army, they went out day and night all the way, and did not dare to approach the towns and other settlements.
Even if he caught the spies of the Southern Barbarian Army by chance, he also inquired about the movements of the Southern Barbarian Army, and he never asked about the situation in Tianshui County, so he really didn't know that such a big thing had happened.
