How can Wang Mang win the crown, and often see Lingjun cast in Miluo.
In vain, if you are obsessed with begging for a bone, you will always be cold-eyed.
The elixir is burned in the furnace, and there are many diseases in the world.
-------------- Yanleisheng "Song History"
"Uncle Li, me." Wang Yuanzhen thought of the hatred of the palace to destroy the door, and remembered that the only reliance now was Li Jing, the Tang king of the Southern Tang Empire, and his heart was full of excitement, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"I know, I know everything, this will be your home in the future, I will deal with those demons, you don't have to worry, live in peace." Li Jing, who looked like a Confucian with a little beard, pressed the grief and indignation in her heart and said slowly
..................
A few days later, in an open space in the backyard of the Li Mansion, Wang Yuanzhen and Li Jing asked about the cultivation of the Xuanmen. Suddenly, Wang Yuanzhen asked
"Uncle Li, I heard that a few months ago, you went to exterminate thousands of anti-thieves, can you tell me how it was?"
"Why are you suddenly interested in marching and fighting?" asked Li Jing
Wang Yuanzhen smiled and did not answer.
Li Jing knew that although Wang Yuanzhen was young, he was a person with ideas, insight and ambition, and he didn't take the initiative to raise this question, Li Jing would also find an opportunity to pass on his knowledge of marching and fighting for many years, training soldiers, and logistics supplies.
Now that Wang Yuanzhen took the initiative, Li Jing did not hide his selfishness, and while recalling, he explained to Wang Yuanzhen the practical examples of marching and fighting, training soldiers, and logistical supplies.
"In that battle, I first sent people to explore the terrain and landforms dozens of miles near the location of the anti-thieves, to see where it was suitable for ambushes, where it was suitable for cavalry frontal killing, where it was suitable for retreat and transfer, and so on."
Three months ago, a rebellion of several thousand people broke out in Ping'an County, the capital of Tangzhou, and the news shocked Li Jing.
Tangzhou Mansion, as the fief of the Tang King, is located in the southernmost part of the Southern Tang Empire in Nanmingzhou, is the largest prefecture, governing thirty or forty counties, because the governance level of the Tang Kings in the past dynasties is good, since the opening of the mansion, do not have thousands of people rebelled, even the mountain thieves and thieves do not have a gang of more than 20 people.
Fortunately, Li Jing has not relaxed his subordinates' training for many years, and he has fought nearly a hundred bandits in the past, and he has also fought with the demon clan a few times.
So he went step by step, unhurriedly inquiring about the traitor's news and surveying the terrain. After some arrangement, a clean victory happened.
The ancients said that "soldiers are not tired of cheating", and Li Jing knows this truth very well. Li Jing first swaggered out of formation, ostensibly attacking. Secretly preserve strength. In order to succeed in the strategy, he also deliberately caused a lot of casualties.
Sure enough, when the traitor learned the news, he was overjoyed, and prepared to go out with his whole army to defeat the officers and soldiers in one fell swoop, and take back all the food, horses, and fine weapons and armor of the officers and soldiers.
"Big brother, that's the way it is, the officers and soldiers are no longer good, and I heard that most of them are ready to surrender to us. ”
"Nonsense, they are officers and soldiers, and there are thousands of men and horses, how can they be defeated so easily, I am considering the plan of the whole army to be dispatched. ”
At this time, a woman in a pink robe in her twenties, with a melon seed face and a foxy look, came over, and she smiled lightly
said, "My big hero, what are you still thinking about, even I am ready to retreat, you are still hesitating, like a man, right?" ”
"What do you know, tell you the most important thing about the facts of this march, that Elder Gu repeatedly explained that he was cautious before leaving,"
"So what, what will be disobeyed by the king's order outside. Since Elder Gu is gone, you should speak here, otherwise who will everyone listen to then?" ”
"What you said is also reasonable, although it is not a little safe, but you have to give it a go"
Soon, thousands of traitors with all kinds of blades and farm tools swarmed out, without any battle formation, and rushed to the official camp like mad dogs. When the officers and soldiers fought and retreated, the traitors happily chased after them. Riding on the war horse left by the official army, using the armor and weapons that he deliberately abandoned, and picking up things while chasing, the leader of the traitors felt that the official army was really vulnerable, so he summoned the second leader and said, "Tell the women and children left behind in the village to come out and take back the food and everything left by these officers and soldiers."
Just when the traitors were happily dreaming of annihilation, Li Jing on the one hand led the chasing traitors into an ambush fist, and on the other hand, he sent people to take down the traitor's cottage in a roundabout way and save the poor women and children.
The big boss didn't expect a big victory, but a big defeat awaited him. 、
...................
As the sun set, the smell of food came from not far away, and when the last rays of sunlight hid in the mountains in the distance, the lanterns of the Li Mansion were already hanging high.
"It's getting late, let's talk about it here today, let's finish eating. By the way, I'm going to send you to the Tang Dynasty Youxian Temple to learn swordsmanship, what do you think? ”
"Datang Youxian Temple, what kind of place is that?!"
"Datang Youxian Temple, what kind of place is that!, it's a great place, we'll talk while eating later. ”
"Tang Dynasty Youxian Temple, is a large sect with a history of thousands of years, according to legend, there was an immortal here in the ancient Southern Tang Prefecture, and a Taoist temple was established on the Yunshi Mountain here, this immortal likes to travel to the people, looking for suitable disciples. Later, he took in seven disciples with different personalities, leaving behind seven magical swords. Later generations created seven magical swordsmanship based on the seven swords. ...............。 ”
"Then those seven disciples with different personalities, and those seven magical swords. Wang Yuanzhen asked
"The seven disciples with different personalities are Fu Qingzhu, Chu Zhaonan, Yang Yuncong, Ling Weifeng, Xin Longzi, Han Zhibang, Wu Yuanying, and the seven divine swords are Mo Wen Sword, Youlong Sword, Qinggan Sword, Sheshen Sword, Tianpu Sword, Sun Moon Sword, and Jingxing Sword. ”
"But now the new masters of the Seven Swords are Ling Yuankai, Yi Lanzhu, Mao Huanlian, Gui Zhongming, Zhang Huazhao, Fei Hongscarf, Wu Qiongyao, there are more things about the Tang Dynasty Youxian Temple, you will know it after you enter the sect, although I am good friends with Ling Yuankai, Zhang Huazhao and others of the current Seven Swords, but as soon as you enter, you still have to start as a miscellaneous disciple. Can you afford it?"
"Although I used to live a life of fine clothes and fine food, I am not unable or afraid to endure hardships, for my father, mother and other people in the palace, and for the many bullied people in the world, I am willing to start as a miscellaneous disciple, I can endure hardships. “
"That's good, I'll arrange for you to go as soon as possible, after all, I'll be going out to kill the traitors soon."
"I'm going out again, Uncle Li, how can the world be so chaotic now, I feel that the people of Tangzhou are okay all the way."
"The world is unpredictable, people's hearts are unpredictable, and many places where grievances were originally accumulated, coupled with ill-intentioned people, stirred up trouble. The rebellion took place, alas, a battle was fought, and it was the common people who suffered, those behind the scenes, alas"
"Then, Uncle Li, you have to be more careful, don't let go of those masterminds behind the scenes.
"Got it.
Wang Yuanzhen originally wanted to say something to save the common people, save the suffering, and kill the mastermind behind the scenes, but thinking of his current situation, self-protection has become a problem, plus the enemy of Huangquan Palace. He had no choice but to make up his mind and swore that after completing his studies, he would be chivalrous and righteous and sweep the world.
.....................
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Court has rejected the proclamatory note you have handed you concerning the reduction of taxes and the exemption of the people who have been coerced into rebellion," said Sun Wuji, the governor of the Tang Dynasty
"Oh, I know" Hearing the news, Li Jing's heart sank a little more
"And the bad news. “
"Yes, Your Highness, the emperor said that he would build a new garden, and asked us to pay three million taels of silver from Tangzhou, as well as all kinds of beasts and birds、..............."
"It's really nonsense, the climate is not good at the moment, the harvest is not good for the people, and now it is still so much silver, really, alas, I see that when this garden was built, it was when the world was in chaos. “
"Then Your Highness, should we make some other preparations," said the head of the Tang Palace, Shi Changsun Wuji, with a bright eye
"Let's talk about it later" Li Jing was stunned for a moment after hearing this, pondered for a moment and said lightly
Gu Jianping, the initiator of more than a dozen rebellions of 1,000 people in Tangzhou, did not frown when he heard the news that none of those rebellions succeeded and were all suppressed by Tang King Li Jing. On the contrary, I was very happy.
Although these rebellions are very small, they are not as good as those in Jiujiang City, but every rebellion has cut flesh and bloodshed the Southern Tang Empire, you must know that every rebellion of the official army has the people to contribute money and efforts, and they are consuming national strength and the patience and loyalty of the people, and no matter whether the counterinsurgency succeeds or fails, it will pave the way for the next rebellion. What's more, Gu Jianping's name is still reincarnation.
The success of the counterinsurgency again and again did not make Li Jingxi smile, but instead frowned, his temples were gray, and he knew that a great conspiracy was enveloping Tangzhou, the Southern Tang Empire, and even the entire continent.
But he didn't have the power to uncover it. Because he is a person loyal to Tang Zhou and loyal to the Southern Tang Empire, it is a pity that his king did not trust him, and his king has not yet clearly realized that too many changes have taken place in this world, or he knows but is unwilling to face these changes.
