Chapter 39: Short Heart and Long Heart
As the saying goes, the will of heaven is unpredictable, people are not as good as heaven, no one would have thought that a great joy would be unhappily dispersed. Yutai Jingming's deliberate plan fell short, coupled with the death of his beloved daughter, a double blow, Rao is that he has been through wind and frost for a long time, and he can't withstand such a blow for a while!
In the "conference room", Yutai Jingming sat aside without saying a word, his eyes were blank, and his listless face seemed to be much older.
The man sitting across from him was tall, with a beard that stood on end like a needle.
I only listened to the whole blame heaven: "People can't be resurrected after death, General Tangtai must mourn, take care of your body!" ”
Yutai Jingming said: "Thank you for the concern of the national teacher, I have my own measure." He spoke weakly, apparently because of his extreme sadness.
It's all to blame Tiandao: "That's good, the general is a person who does great things, and you can't be sluggish and miss big things because of this." ”
Yutai Jingming said: "It's getting late, I still have to keep a guard for the little girl, the national teacher, please rest." ”
It's all to blame Tiandao: "If the general doesn't bother to settle it, I have my own place to go." ”
"Then please." Yutai Jingming said.
He didn't look at the whole strange sky all the time he spoke, and was obviously not in the mood to talk about anything else.
Quan Qitian heard his order to expel the guest, and immediately said: "I still have important matters to discuss with the general." ”
Yutai Jingming said: "I have no intention of discussing things, let's discuss it another day." ”
It's all to blame Tiandao: "Originally, I shouldn't have bothered the general at this time, but this matter is very important, and it is not trivial!" ”
Yutai Jingming said impatiently: "Then please ask the national teacher to make a short story." ”
All blame Tiandao: "Now the court is busy moving the capital, the troops are insufficient, and the people's hearts are scattered." We should raise our troops sooner rather than later, and now is a good time to raise our troops! As long as the general raises troops, I will ask the king of Warat to march into the Ming Dynasty. When the time comes, we will be able to succeed in one fell swoop! ”
Yutai Jingming asked rhetorically: "During the period of starting the army, we have been planning for a long time, how can we say that we will change it?" ”
It's all to blame for the heavens: "At this time and that time, those who have achieved great things must not only be able to fight well, but also see the right time." If you can't grasp it, the opportunity is fleeting, and now is the perfect time! If it's too late, the weather turns cold, and the road is closed by heavy snow, how will my Warat army enter the customs? ”
Yutai Jingming pondered for a while, snorted lightly, and said: "It turns out that the national teacher is thinking about the Wara army, but at the moment, Mingjiao is not monolithic, and dozens of branch altars in the north are still doing their own thing, and they don't listen to the orders of the general altar. Give me another two months, and I will definitely be able to make the Ming Sect work together to conquer the capital in one fell swoop! ”
It's all to blame Tiandao: "The sum of the Northern Branch Altar of the Ming Sect is only 20,000 people, why should the general take it to heart?" ”
Tantai Jingming said: "It's not a matter of numbers, if the people of Mingjiao are not united, the army's spirit will be unstable, and the army's spirit will be unstable, how can they win the battle?" Now that the sect leader is kind-hearted, and he is the widow of the former sect leader, he will definitely be able to subdue the northern sect members! When the time comes, we will act as scheduled, and we will be able to succeed! We've been waiting for twenty years, so why rush! ”
It's all to blame for Tiandao: "When the imperial court completes the relocation of the capital, there will be no ......"
"Okay," Yutai Jingming interrupted: "National teacher, please, I'm going to guard the spirit of the little girl!" ”
Finished speaking! Yutai Jingming went by himself, leaving only a stunned and unwilling Quan Weitian to stay there.
On the official road, thirty or fifty horse-drawn carriages marched north in groups! The cars are all more than a few zhang long and more than two zhang wide, and the horses are all tall horses that are one in a hundred! The carriage came galloping mightily, escorted by a cavalry on each side. Immediately, the soldiers carried scimitars, and the horses' hooves were obtained, and they followed the carriage. The two people in front of them held high a large flag, and the flag had a big "Ming" written on it.
Suddenly, a masked man blocked his way.
The leading officers and soldiers shouted: "Who is so bold!" Dare to stop the convoy of the imperial court to move the capital? ”
The big man laughed and said, "I am the master of the Ming Sect Heaven and Earth Branch, leaving behind my belongings and spare my life!" ”
Finished speaking! The big man slapped his face, and a group of people with weapons in their hands poured in from both sides of the official road, and when they looked at it, there were hundreds of people.
The leading officer and soldier shouted: "Listen, everyone, take down the Mingjiao traitor!" Award people according to their contributions! ”
The man gave the order, and the soldiers drew their scimitars and rode their horses to kill them. Unexpectedly, the opponent was all strong in martial arts, and the officers and soldiers were killed in a moment! The remaining dozen or so people fled!
The masked man laughed, but he didn't let people chase him. The big man ripped off his mask, revealing a beard like iron, this person was not an outsider, it was the warat national teacher Quanweitian.
One person stepped forward and said, "National Teacher, Mingjiao and us are friends and not enemies, why did the National Teacher do this?" ”
Quan Qitian snorted and said: "The old fox of Tantai Jingming is stubborn, I asked him to get up early, but he was too worried and refused to live or die." Since he refuses, I will force him to raise troops in advance! ”
It turned out that Quan Weitian and Shantai Jingming had a disagreement, and Quan Weitian wanted to use a divisive strategy to provoke Mingjiao and the imperial court, make it break up, and force Tangtai Jingming to act in advance!
At this time, it has entered November, the north wind is cold, the snow is falling, and the whole world is covered in silver, and it is white! The eagle in the sky had nowhere to feed, and the heavy snow added to the body, a big eagle eagle circled weakly at a low altitude, and a big man seized the opportunity, bent his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow. The eagle was hit by an arrow and landed, and the big man ran over, picked it up and looked at it, and smiled. This big man has a big waist and a round waist, and he is not angry and arrogant between his eyebrows, it is Guan Shanyue.
Guan Shanyue said to himself: "I can let Lian'er make eagle meat soup today." ”
He drew the arrow, took the eagle, and hurried back. The court forgave his sins, and there was no need to hide. However, in order to avoid the Dragon Guardian Gang and the people in the rivers and lakes, Guan Shanyue and Xie Lian built a few thatched huts in the remote suburbs. One of them is outside the Lord, and the other is in the Lord. One went up to the mountains to hunt, and the other knitted shoes at home, tidying up the house.
In the past, they lived with Wang Yingying, although they respected each other like guests, but they were always inseparable. Xie Lian treats him sincerely, and cannot be compared. Guan Shanyue, who was originally disheartened and displaced, finally found his true love. It's been a leisurely time these days!
Guan Shanyue returned to his residence, but saw that the courtyard door was wide open, and the courtyard was just a simple fence. The yard was littered with footprints leading to the door, and it was clear that an outsider had come. Guan Shanyue had a vague sense of foreboding, he raised his vigilance, threw his bow and arrows and eagles, and slowly approached the hut, but he could not hear any movement. He simply pushed the door in, only to see a person sitting in the hall, and two dukes standing with their hands hanging on both sides. Xie Lian sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes full of fear.
The man sitting in the middle of the hall had blazing eyes, white face and clean beard, but he did not lose his majesty.
The man saw Guan Shanyue push the door in, and said, "The Taiping King has finally returned?" ”
Guan Shanyue looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Who are you?" ”
The man said, "I'm Zheng He." ”
Guan Shanyue was shocked, and then said: "It turned out that Gong Zheng arrived, and Shanyue was polite." As he spoke, Guan Shanyue clenched his fists.
He walked up to Xie Lian and said, "Lian'er, don't be afraid, Zheng Gong is an upright person, not a villain." ”
Xie Lian's frightened eyes eased and nodded.
I only heard Zheng He say: "Gu Changfeng blamed the Taiping King, brutalized Zhongliang, and was executed by the imperial court. I have asked the Holy Majesty to restore the innocence of the King of Peace. ”
Guan Shanyue said: "Who is my Dao, it turned out to be Zheng Gong helping me." Although I have never met Zheng Gong, I have often heard of Zheng Gong's name. I don't know what Zheng Gong is doing here? ”
Zheng He said: "I'm here to invite the King of Taiping to come out of the mountain again and serve the imperial court!" ”
When Guan Shanyue heard this, he said: "I have received Zheng Gong's wishes, but I have withdrawn from the rivers and lakes and no longer ask about the world. ”
Zheng He said "um" and said: "I know that the King of Taiping is angry in his heart, and the King of Taiping is loyal to the court and has made great contributions, but he ended up ruined and ruined, and it is natural that he is angry in his heart. ”
Guan Shanyue breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Don't mention the past, I am by no means a momentary anger, I have made up my mind, and Zheng Gong doesn't need to say much." ”
Zheng He sighed and said, "It's a pity, there will be another catastrophe in the world." The bones are like mountains, the blood flows like rivers, but in the end, it is the people of the world who suffer! ”
Guan Shanyue heard him say this and asked, "If it is peaceful today, and the four realms are peaceful, where will the catastrophe come from?" ”
Zheng He said: "The Taiping King doesn't know that these days, the Ming Sect has robbed the property of the capital everywhere, blatant and arrogant. Jin Yiwei had already found out that Mingjiao was plotting wrong, but he didn't expect Mingjiao to become more and more rampant. ”
Guan Shanyue said: "Just Mingjiao, how dare you be so arrogant? ”
Zheng He said: "In the past, there was the Dragon Guardian Gang to contain the Ming Sect, but now that the Taiping King is gone, the Dragon Guardian Gang has no leader, and the Ming Sect will naturally become rampant. ”
Guan Shanyue frowned and said, "They must have a bigger plan to rob the things that moved the capital. ”
"That's right," Zheng He said: "Not only are they like this, Jinyiwei has found out that the Ming Sect has also colluded with the Wara National Master Quan Weitian, trying to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty inside and outside!" ”
Guan Shanyue didn't talk anymore, just looked at Xie Lian.
Xie Lian understood what he meant, and immediately said: "Brother Guan is a big hero, a big hero, I know that sooner or later I won't be able to keep you, if Brother Guan wants to do something big, I will never stop it." But Brother Guan must remember that Lian'er will always be here waiting for Brother Guan to come back. ”
Guan Shanyue listened to her words, sighed, and said: "Zheng Gong, please be smart, the world is so big, how many people are more capable than me?" ”
Zheng He said: "The world is so big, but the only one who can convince the Dragon Guardian Gang is you, King Taiping. ”
Zheng He stood up and said: "Right now, the imperial court is in an eventful autumn, I will go to the sea, and when the time comes, I will be far away from the West, and I can't serve the imperial court, so I can only come to ask the Taiping King to continue to be the leader of the Dragon Guardian Gang, eradicate the Ming Sect traitors, and share the worries for the saints!" to save the people of the world from the suffering of the sword. Please! ”
After finishing speaking, Zheng He fell to the ground! Guan Shanyue was shocked and hurriedly helped Zheng He up and let him sit down.
Guan Shanyue said: "It's unreasonable to be a mountain, it's just that people in the court have always been not optimistic about people in the rivers and lakes." Although the Dragon Protector Gang was not excluded by the imperial court for a while, after a long time, it was inevitable that there would be a second Gu Changfeng and a third Gu Changfeng. ”
Zheng He said: "The Taiping King's worries are not unreasonable, there are many disciples of the Dragon Guardian Gang, all over the world, and they have their own soldiers and horses. It's impossible for the court not to worry, but I have a foolproof plan! ”
Guan Shanyue said: "I would like to hear about it." ”
Zheng He said: "After the Taiping King eradicates the Ming Sect, I will ask the Holy Lord to disband the Dragon Guardian Gang." The talents in the gang will be rewarded with the best officials, and the rest of the people will be promoted as much as possible, and the official positions will be divided, and the next person will be transferred from the army to the soldier. Without the Dragon Protector Gang in the world, the imperial court will naturally not be excluded. ”
Guan Shanyue listened, and thought about it in his heart, many brothers of the Dragon Guardian Gang were born and died with him for many years, and he naturally wanted the Dragon Guardian Gang to have a good home. Guan Shanyue pondered for a moment, and then said: "The Dragon Guardian Gang has always been a gang in the rivers and lakes, and no court has allowed such a gang to exist, and only in this way can the brothers in the gang have a good home. But with hundreds of thousands of people in the Dragon Guardian Gang, can the imperial court settle them all? ”
Zheng He laughed and said: "Although the Dragon Protector Gang has 100,000 people, my Ming Dynasty has 90,000 miles, and ten Dragon Protector Gangs can also be accommodated." ”
Guan Shanyue frowned and said, "I'm afraid that the Holy Lord may not think so." ”
Zheng He said: "Today's saints are wise and unprecedented. His open-mindedness is better than that of the Taiping King. I have been born and died with the Holy One for so many years, and I know the Holy One very well, and I believe that my thin noodles will be given by the Holy One. ”
Guan Shanyue said: "This matter is important, please let Zheng Gong consider it!" ”
Zheng He stood up and said, "Then I'll wait for the Taiping King Jiayin and don't bother." ”
After finishing speaking, Zheng He and the two dukes said goodbye and left......
