The emperors swore in Luoshui, Luo Chengzhi recorded as a historical record, during which there were all the people together, during which there were Wei Emperor devoured, during which there were three emperors shocked, during which there were panicked hearts, the emperors, the ministers, from the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Western Wei, the Southern Liang, the Northern Yan four poles gathered together, sacrificed to Luoshen, and then scattered in Luoshui, just like the Luoyang King Flower that gradually dispersed, the emperors returned to their own country, and fulfilled their oaths.

Xiao Yan of Liang Guo, from Luoyang Shunyingshui to the river to return to Jianye, when Luo Youzhi was summoned into the palace, Luo Youzhi drove all the way in the Jianye Palace, the palace guards saw it, all holding blades, not squinting, Luo Youzhi has the right to pass in the Liang Palace, even if the queen and the prince are here, they dare not stop it, Luo Youzhi jumped out of the car, and hurried to the palace.

In the main hall, the regulation is magnificent, the hall is more golden, Xiao Yan is a good Buddha, the upper is good, the next will be effective, only a short time, the palace decoration is a change, the auspicious clouds and beasts are replaced by the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, full of treasure solemnity, Luo Youzhi walked in, then saw Xiao Yan is stepping on a two-zhang long, one zhang wide Kanyu map, and holding a brass made, gold-plated copper rod is pointing and pointing.

Xiao Yan saw Luo Youzhi walk in, and hurriedly beckoned: "Qingyun, come, according to Luo Shui's oath, my Liang country will go all out, you see which county soldiers should be recruited, how many people should be recruited, and how much grain and grass should be collected. ”

In today's Liang Guozhong, Xiao Yan is in charge of the campaign, he is a mighty emperor, the ability to command the army, the crown covers the Southern Regions, and what he trusts is Luo Youzhi, worship as the prime minister, and rule the ministers.

Luo Youzhi stepped forward and stepped on the map of Kanyu, looked carefully and then said: "Now I am Liang, there are four states, Jing, Yang, Xu, Jiao, Jiaozhou is far away, and Jiaozhou is weak, not enough to rely on, Yangzhou is the root of my Jiangdong, can not be reckless, can not levy militia here, Your Majesty with 10,000 Danyang soldiers, 5,000 troublesome soldiers can go out, Xuzhou, Jingzhou, are all big states in the world, the population is extremely heavy, one from Nanyang, one from Pengcheng.

Now I have 1.5 million households in Daliang, 7 million people, this war, I am afraid that it will not be able to end in a short time, the ratio of the people to the army, preferably 100, can maintain the normal operation of the country, must not be less than 50, Qin Shi Huang period is less than 50, if you go to that step, Daliang will be annihilated in the anger of the people, everything is empty. ”

Xiao Yan naturally believed in Luo Youzhi's calculations, but he frowned and paced, and then asked, "But is 70,000 troops too little?" Among these 70,000 people, do they include auxiliaries and people, and if so, aren't there only 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers, and the auxiliaries can still fight, but aren't the people ......?"

Luo Youzhi shook his head and said: "Naturally, it does not include the people, but the auxiliary soldiers are included in it, but Your Majesty, what the minister said just now is my Daliang official household, in my Jiangdong land, there are so many hidden households, no one knows about it, doesn't Your Majesty understand this?" ”

Xiao Yan was a little embarrassed when he heard this, he was one of the largest gate lord clans before he became the emperor, how could he not understand the hidden household, how did he come to have so many private troops without the hidden household, where did the army that broke the Chu clan come from, several times the entire Jiangdong Dashi clan, probably only the Luo clan did not have a hidden household, and the Luo family did not play this set, he hurriedly asked: "Qingyun doesn't have to be ashamed, let's just say it, although the hidden family is numerous, the country cannot be mobilized." ”

A bright light rose in Luo Youzhi's eyes, and he said coldly: "Your Majesty is driving in person, can the ministers not accompany you?"

Please ask Your Majesty to select characters from the Jiangdong Zhumen clan to go out with the army according to the clan records, where in this world can you get glory and wealth for nothing?

It is natural for the ancestors to accumulate blessings and for future generations to enjoy blessings, and the wealth of all families should be.

But the gentleman's Ze was cut in the fifth generation.

Since the ancestor Yuzhang County sat in Jiangdong, it has been so many years now, it is time to make new contributions and rearrange the order of the clans. ”

Xiao Yan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said excitedly: "Qingyun, okay, under Luoshui's oath, no one can refuse to go on the expedition, and as long as the news of the rearrangement of the clan chronicles spreads, no one will refuse to make meritorious contributions, as long as they follow them to go on the expedition, in order to make meritorious contributions, they will definitely carry a large number of tribulations, so that I can get tens of thousands of elite soldiers without much effort, and when I return after the war, I can also use this battle to redivide the Jiangdong forces, promote the upstart families, and suppress the old families." ”

Luo Youzhi's thoughts were not over, and he said: "Your Majesty, from Jiangdong to the north of Xinjiang, there are thousands of miles away, if you transport grain supplies from here, how can you be safe, if you use the grain from the south to supplement the grain of the northern country, and use the grain of the north country to supply the military supplies, the minister wrote a letter and handed it to the officer of the allied army, check and adjust, you can avoid the suffering of 30% of the people's labor, and you can avoid the consumption of money and food." ”

This time the coalition army was naturally reconciled by the Luo family, especially the military affairs, there were Luo's people to supervise to prevent accidents, Xiao Yan was overjoyed when he heard this: "Wonderful, Qingyun, you are really Wang Zuozhicai, you are the crowned figure of the Luo family today, I got it, just like Henkel got the literature Hou and Yinghou, now I am completely relieved." ”

Luo Youzhi smiled slightly, and gradually formed a clan of scholars, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage, and can make full use of its advantages to achieve the political goal of killing three birds with one stone, even if he often looks at historical books, he can't help but be proud.

Xiao Yan quickly facilitated the palace, summoned the ministers of the Liang State, and the edict said: "I Rui swears, the world is done, the Liang State is inevitable, I am determined today, 70,000 Rui soldiers, all of them are elite, I want to personally conquest, but all families, all are famous, on this occasion, they should all accompany them, knock the ancestors with merit, see people with virtue, those who have no merit, those who have no virtue are inferior, and evaluate the characters, all according to this battle, and the salty envoy hears it." ”

Jiangdong a group of scholars secretly have angry and corrupt people, there are people who are full of ambition, there are people who do not say a word, there are people who are worried about the future, bustling, people who go north are very numerous, all from the clan Zhi 120 families, there are 30,000 sharp soldiers, Liang Guozhou boats and boats, 100,000 troops, cross the Huai River to the north, when crossing the Yellow River, looking at the rolling waves and flooding yellow mud, Jiangdong scholars are all wrapped in clothes and pouted: "The water of the Yellow River is turbid, you can't wet my feet, the water of the Yangtze River is clear, you can wet my hair." ”

The clear water of the Yangtze River can be used to wash the crown belt, and the turbid water of the Yellow River cannot be used to wash even the feet, which fully expresses the disdain of the Jiangdong Shi people for the north.

Xiao Yan heard another flavor from it, that is, some contradictions between the local scholars who belonged to Jiangdong and the scholars who later migrated from the Central Plains, as well as some confusion about the future.

Xiao Yan sighed slightly: "The Yellow River is turbid, but there are thousands of miles of fertile fields on both sides, millions of people, it is the land that my Liang has to take, since the time of Yuzhang County, this is my Jiangdong wish, what do you think?" ”

Jiang Dongshi didn't say much, Liang and Chu are different after all, it is useless to say more, and look at the future situation.

When the army of Xuzhou of Liang went north to cross the border of the Han State, the Han State also conquered the counties of Zhuzhou, selected the good people, all of them were young and strong, the population of the Han State was very large, the army was 200,000, the vast soup soup, the banner overflowed, from the Yellow River across the river, through the vast plains of Jizhou and countless cities, across the Taihang Mountain that had not been crossed for decades, passing through the Taihang Well, the cities that stood between the basins of Bingzhou, after climbing the Taihang Mountain, looking at the flat and endless plains of Jizhou, the soldiers of the Han State only felt cold and trembling, that condescending, a horse Pingchuan, In the future, how to stop Yan Guo from going east?

At this moment, it is not the time to think about this, the general of the Han State looked at the big cities standing in the passes, and then the countless cavalry in black armor, the iron cavalry of the Yan State roared out of the cities, and the carts followed, and tens of thousands of cavalry from the state gathered together, and the general rushed forward, shouting loudly: "Come to the general, please pass the paperwork!" ”

Guan Hui, the general of the Han Kingdom, raised his Chinese book high and said loudly: "The Han army has been ordered here, passing through Taihang, passing through the basin, and now passing through Taiyuan, all of which are on the route pointed out by the emperor of your country, and have not deviated in the slightest!" ”

After passing through the borders of other countries, it is unavoidable in the Chu and Han countries located in the heart of Zhuxia, so naturally you can't go around, as early as before, the marching route has been designed and planned, and you can't deviate, and the general of Yan Guo will not say much after inspection, let the Han army cross the border, and not long after, the army of Yan Guo also set off and went to the assembly.

Looking down from the sky, thousands of miles of summer land, there are human figures everywhere, pawns, auxiliaries, and more than a million people who have been requisitioned, countless grains and grass are transferred on the rivers and straight roads, this is an unprecedented war, with the constraints of the oath of Luoshui, the monarchs of all countries have tried their best to prevent violating the oath.

All the countries of the Central Plains have sent a large army, in the winter city, although this place is far north, but it is not the realm of ice and snow all year round, in spring, there are also the mountains and fields of the fragrance, there are also green forests.

Winterfell, almost taking away the mountain, the city wall is smooth like jasper, there is moss, the city has only been built for decades, but it has a sense of old work.

In front of the palace hall, Luo Chengzhi, who is in charge of Luo's military affairs, and Luo Xizhi, the head of the Luo family, sit opposite each other, and the two brothers boil a pot of water in front of them, and there is a fragrance in the air.

The atmosphere between the two was slightly stagnant, Luo Xi read the document in his hand with a seal, and after a long time, Luo Chengzhi put down the tea in his hand, and Luo Xizhi also read it all, Luo Chengzhi said: "Liang Guofa 100,000 Jiangdong Rui, Han Guofa 200,000 Jizhou Qingzhou Ruishi, Yan Guofa 100,000 Hu Han Iron Cavalry, Wei Guofa 150,000 Foot Cavalry, more than 500,000 troops, and the rest of the people are not counted."

Since the end of the Later Han Dynasty, there has never been such a military situation, and almost the entire Kyushu world has been mobilized. ”

Luo Xizhi didn't know much about military affairs, but he was the head of the family, and he could feel something else, so he frowned and asked softly: "The grassland is big, 500,000 in the middle, but it's just a drop in the ocean, what if the Hu people are far away?" ”

Luo Chengzhi took a sip of tea and said categorically: "The Hu people are strong, they will not run away, under the Yin Mountain, the grass roots are sharp, and the essence is in the middle, the Hu people will only fight with me, and with my Luo family, we have countless ways to find the Hu people's migration and hiding place, and this battle can only be fought head-on." ”

Luo Xizhi got up and pushed open the door of the house, looked at the tall green broad-leaved tree in the courtyard, and asked in a low voice: "This time, the countries are attacking from all directions, Cao Wei is all the way from Guanzhong, Han and Liang are from Bingzhou to take Hetao, Yan is starting from Bingzhou on the one hand, covering the two countries with cavalry, and on the other hand, attacking from Youzhou, cutting off the road to the east of the grassland, it seems that my Luo clan is also going to attack, my brother personally leads the troops, how many clansmen do you want to bring this time?" ”

Luo Chengzhi stood beside Luo Xizhi, was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "I want to take all the remaining daring warriors, the young and strong people over the age of twelve and the war horses in the city must set off with me, and the same is true for the descendants of the Luo family, except for those under the age of twelve, regardless of men and women, all of them must follow the army, about 30,000 people." ”

Since the disappearance of the ancestors' blessing, the Luo family girl has lost her natural eighty strength, but she still has outstanding talent and can be used as a staff officer with the army.

The most important thing is that they have Luo's blood flowing in their bodies, and their eyebrows are still engraved with holy marks, just like Luo Yu who holds the Thousand Miles Dao Sword, the high priest who is present by God and holds the Five Thunder Righteous Law, destroys the Hu people's mandate of heaven, urges the artifact, and is not weaker than men.

In terms of sacrifice, Luo's daughter will not let Luo's son be beautiful in front of her, and the blue sky will spill blood, that's all.

Well?

After Luo Xizhi heard this, he instantly turned his head to look at Luo Chengzhi, his eyes were full of questions, he didn't speak, but Luo Chengzhi knew what he was going to say.

There are only 100,000 men, women, and children in the entire Winter City, and ten people can't stick to one for a long time, it's basically a life-and-death fight, and the other four countries are all one out of a hundred.

Of course, Winterfell is not a national situation now, in fact, it is a tribe, and there is no need for a large number of off-duty officials, all the people can be soldiers, and women can be engaged in production, fishing, hunting, and farming.

But three people draw one, this is still too much, it will almost empty Winterfell, after this battle, Winterfell can be declared directly destroyed, and even the continuation is difficult to do, the cold land, the heirs are already difficult, and the fertility is low.

Luo Xizhi is an excellent doctor, naturally an excellent demographer, he only thought about it slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "Brother, absolutely not."

Now in Winterfell, the old and the young are excluded, even if the fishing, hunting and farming will be done by women in the future, but it is still not enough, there must be a man, twelve years old is too much. ”

Luo Chengzhi's hand in his sleeve shook, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, but he never let go, but gritted his teeth and said softly: "Going out to the grassland, there are too few people and worrying that it is not enough, the 500,000 troops of all countries, there are 300,000 people who can fight with the grassland, even if the marchers are capable, my Luo clan goes on the expedition, the responsibility is heavy, to break the Hu people's destiny, if after paying countless prices, I can't break the Hu people's destiny, then what should I do?"

Men under the age of twelve stay in Winterfell, six to ten years at most, and the younger generation of Winterfell will be able to recover, and after a few decades, it will be fine when this group of people are all gone. ”

Luo Xizhi rubbed his palms, and after a long time, he shook his head resolutely and said: "No, absolutely not, fifteen years old, this is the limit that the family and everyone can bear." ”

Seeing that Luo Xizhi once again denied himself, Luo Chengzhi grabbed Luo Xizhi's arm and said: "Xizhi, you don't want the kindness of a woman, at the moment of life and death, you must have the idea of giving up everything, I am the military director, you have to cooperate with me!" ”

Luo's attack this time, the most important task is to break the Hu people's mandate of heaven, the mandate of heaven does not fall, everything is false, Luo Chengzhi will always remember this.

Luo Xi pointed out, and Luo Chengzhi sensed that an artifact appeared in his hand - the God of the Four Hours.

Luo Xizhi said solemnly: "Brother, the result of some things is unpredictable, so don't do it, especially the population thing."

This artifact, known as the God of the Four Hours, this is the most powerful one left in the family, can call the wind and rain, drive away the frost and snow, is an artifact that can change the celestial phenomena, when the Zhaosheng King used it to summon natural disasters on the grassland, delaying the national fortune and destiny of the Huns.

But brother, we must remember that we are not the Zhaosheng King who walks the world with the will of King Su, this artifact is too domineering, but if it is activated, it will require Luo's blood and consume a lot of family heritage.

King Zhaosheng used it to make heavy snow fall on the entire Hetao, and we can't do the same consumption of the same heritage, every time we use it, it is a pain that the family can't bear, so we must be cautious.

I will be in Winterfell, always pay attention to the changes in the family heritage, and if necessary, I will recover this artifact, human life is precious, and it may be more appropriate to use the artifact and heritage to consume the Hu people's destiny. ”

Luo Chengzhi held the God of the Four Seasons in his hand and wanted to speak, he held it tightly, and then hesitated: "Now that there are not many family artifacts, and the background is not profound, is it inappropriate to use it at this time." ”

After the use of the Thousand Miles Fu and the Five Thunder Righteous Method, Luo's basically has no artifacts that can deter, only the God of the Four Seasons is still relatively deterrent, but if it is used now, once the foundation is insufficient, the deterrence of the God of the Four Seasons will be greatly reduced.

The force is declining, the artifact is gone, and what else will Luo's use to resist future disasters.

Luo Xizhi forced a smile and said: "The ancestors were far-sighted and moved to Liaodong, and the family is now staying in Liaodong, which is far away from the Central Plains, no one can threaten Winterfell, as for some Hu people, after the destruction of Hu by all countries this time, it is not worth mentioning, the big deal is that it will be born in a hundred or two hundred years, and when all the dynasties and countries are all over now, my Luo clan will come to the world again." ”

100 years, 200 years.

In the distant period of the Three Dynasties, it was nothing, but since the Qin Dynasty, this is the time of the existence of this dynasty.

As strong as the first Han Dynasty, it is only two hundred years, and the Later Han Dynasty is not even more than a hundred years, if the Luo clan really closed the city in Liaodong for a hundred years, two hundred years, when it came out, these current dynasties may have turned into dust.

Luo Chengzhi was slightly relieved when he heard this, what Luo Xizhi said was not wrong, Winter City was very safe, far safer than the former Zhaocheng, he exhaled lightly and sighed: "Xizhi, I'll leave now, if King Su is merciful, we will meet again above the nine heavens, if King Su is still gone, we will meet under the Yellow Spring, for the brother will be on the other side, waiting for everyone." ”

Luo Xizhi grabbed Luo Chengzhi's arm, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything at all, his eyes were full of tears, Luo Chengzhi understood, and patted his arm without saying anything more.

The moment he walked out of the courtyard gate, Luo Xizhi's grief-stricken cry came from the house, and Luo Chengzhi's eyes were full of determination and looked at the clear blue sky.

In the house, Luo Xizhi slumped directly in front of the table, the hot tea was knocked into the water flowing out, his wife and daughter hurriedly walked out of the back room, one hurriedly found a rag to wipe, and the other saw him in his arms and asked urgently: "Husband, what's the matter?" ”

Luo Xizhi trembled and said, "Brother is going to die, and many clansmen are going to go." ”

His daughter's hand wiping the water trail stopped, opened her mouth and whispered, "Uncle......"

"That should have been my fate.

My brother was originally the son of my uncle, and I should have stayed in the cold winter and sat in charge of the family, and I should have traveled with the army to face the family disaster, and my uncle passed on the position of the head of the family to me and gave me a great responsibility, which is my luck, and this is my brother's great misfortune.

At this time, the clan came out, the elder brother fought first, and there was no day to return, his death, is it not my fault, is this the fate of the number of ......?"

Only then did his wife know why her husband was crying, she thought that Luo Chengzhi died on her behalf, and she hurriedly comforted: "Husband, life has its own responsibilities in the world, and my uncle makes my husband a prince, which shows the ability of my husband and is of great use in the clan."

The elder brother has the ability to fight, so the uncle makes him a general, and the husband has the ability to heal, so the uncle makes the husband the head of the family. ”

These words are useless to Luo Xizhi, because as the head of the family, he knows best, this time it is not just the elder brother, no one knows the ending of the war, but this time everyone knows the ending,

After Luo Chengzhi left the Luo Palace, he soon began to gather the sons of the entire Winter City, the Luo clan, and the other clans, looking at the faces that were either green or mature, Luo Chengzhi, who was still very strong just now, only felt that his hands were a little shaky.

He himself is not afraid of death, or rather, he is ready, but these people ......

Luo Chengzhi suddenly thought of an old saying, if you prosper with this, you will die with this.

All the joy and joy that the king of factors prospered and obtained by the king of factors turned into sharp arrows at this moment.

I don't know how many people surrounded him, most of them had a little rough skin, not dark, but caused by wind and frost, with rough tenacity, Luo Chengzhi stood among everyone, thought for a long time, and said loudly in front of one shining gaze: "Sons of Winterfell, Luo's is here to summon you, no longer a warrior, but everyone.

We are now going to face an enemy that has never been more powerful than ever.

How powerful is this enemy?

Each of us, our descendants, our collateral branches, our families, and our non-Luo's, may all die on the battlefield.

Ten people go, one person returns.

Ten people went, but no one returned.

I'm going to take you out of Winterfell today, but I'm not sure I'm going to bring you back, are you afraid? ”

Scared?

There is a great terror between life and death, and no one in this world is not afraid of death.

But there are countless people in the world who are not afraid of death, when death is not just death, but only a price, people will begin to weigh to see if their death is worth it, lighter than the feather is not worth it, if it is heavy as Mount Tai, it is worth it.

And now?

No one asks if it's worth it, in the center of everyone, it's the Luo's son, the crowned and the uncrowned, all there, except for those babies and immature children, almost all the Luo's children who can be called or can't be named are here.

In the middle of the Luo family, there is the Luo family's daughter, what else do they say?

"Childe, these words don't need to be asked, just as when I first migrated to Winterfell, our ancestors once said, by the grace of the Luo family for thousands of years, this life and blood, the soul is dedicated, it is still not enough to repay the retribution, the Luo family called, we are happy, only raise the sword, say, King Su is above."

These words made everyone indignant, and they all waved the sharp blades in their hands, "King Su is above!" ”

In this earth-shattering call, Luo Chengzhi slowly smiled and said loudly: "In this case, this time I am a winter child, and I am out of Liaodong, although what is going on, Zhuerlang should know, but I will say it again, today I will say that I will not be a person who dies in vain on the future Huangquan Road."

In the oath of Luoshui before, all the countries made a big oath to jointly conquer the Hu people, which was to follow the admonition of King Su and continue the Zhuxia Dao system.

This responsibility has been my mission since ancient times, and this time the Hu people are thriving, perhaps because they have been guided by some fate, I have a question, can we tolerate the prosperity of the Hu people? ”

Hu people prosper?

That's a dream!

Luo Cheng's words were not settled, and the roars in Winter City resounded in the sky, and among the countless roars like landslides, there was only one answer, and that was - "No!" ”

"yes, no.

Even if it is the so-called immortal love of the Hu people, even if the so-called gods of the Hu people are really alive, I, Luo, will wield the blade and cut it down.

I, Luo's here, for 1,400 years, have prevented this from happening, and today the Hu people want to prosper, it is a dream.

Do your best, drain your blood, follow the ancestral teachings, and let the Hu people decline again, just like what has happened countless times, just like the great achievements that have been done countless times by following the admonitions of King Su, just like the Taoist figure that once was on the road to the king.

In this world, there is only the place where King Su lowers his eyes, and there is only Zhuxia in this world, which is the only happy land! ”

Listening to the endless cheers, even Luo's son and Luo's daughter were immersed in it, their eyes fell on Luo Chengzhi, and Luo Chengzhi's gaze looked high at Qing Ming, "O Supreme and Holy Su King, ancestor, where have you been, why don't you respond to the prayers of your descendants, what the family is doing now, what we are doing now, is it right?" ”

Ji Zhao did not respond.

In the heavenly realm, Ji Lingjun sat on the jade steps under the peach tree, the peach blossoms fell, her arms were on her knees and her cheeks were supported, and she was bored counting the falling petals, she was also waiting for Ji Zhao to come back, she was the only one who knew that the ancestor was fine, God.

In the depths of the Peach Blossom Forest, in the magnificent Valhalla, another piece of stone has dissipated, turning into a point of light and dissipating, Luo Su's statue has already dissolved a whole arm, and even the clothes on half of the shoulders have come to life.

Click.

In Valhalla, this sound is ringing all the time, and pieces of jade are falling.

It was a miraculous union, several vast military empires, solemn vows, and then united in the face of a predictable catastrophe that we have not seen in the history of the West, and this inexplicable centripetal force may be the reason why our civilization has gone into darkness after facing the steppe, and the East has shone more and more like the sun. - General History of the World
