The Way of Vertical and Horizontal (11)

For this trip, the Zongheng sect was well prepared, and when everyone gathered, it was already getting dark. That night, Chen Zhidao came to visit Zhang Shaoying's tent, he was a very sturdy middle-aged man, in good spirits, and had the demeanor of an idler. The Hidden Sect is like a cloud, except for the Zen sect, I am afraid that the other sects are not as good, but the personnel are scattered, it is difficult to cohesion, even if it is gathered, it is not much to do, the ups and downs of Chen Zhidao, and now he has joined the camp of Zonghengmen, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Zhang Shaoying thanked Mr. Wu Wei for his help, and Chen Zhidao said that he did not come to rebel against the imperial court, but only hoped that the imperial court would wake up by punishment. Chen Zhidao was extremely injured, and he couldn't stop coughing up blood when he spoke, but he was trying his best to endure it. In fact, the Zongheng faction is not rebelling against the imperial court, but just using punishment to stop the punishment and let the imperial court rein in, otherwise the price will be very expensive, and Zhang Shaoying is not the material to be the emperor. Before leaving, Chen Zhidao also deliberately said that his body was inconvenient, and he wanted Chen Shiyu to come and take care of him. Zhang Shaoying understood it, but he only sighed in his heart, he had already understood his intentions, and he had no shame in his heart, but he didn't feel embarrassed. Seeing Chen Zhidao, Zhang Shaoying went to see Mu Qiubai again, and invited Zhuzong, and now Mu Qiubai is a woman next to him who is taking care of him, called Ruo Xi.

Mu Qiubai set up a table outside the tent and invited all the sects to drink tea. Knowing that Zhang Shaoying had something to say, the others did not say anything outside of etiquette. After a long time, Zhang Shaoying asked: "Confucianism uses literature to mess with the law, chivalry uses martial arts to violate the ban, what the king takes, and what the officials punish, who is right and who is wrong between you and me?" Mu Qiubai said: "If the world is really so absolute, why make laws? The way of yin and yang, this question is very simple. Zhang Shaoying was amazed for a while, nodded and said: "Whether every road is right or wrong is not someone else's decision, nor is it the world's decision, the most important thing is your purpose." Mu Qiubai said: "But this is not your intention, is it?" Zhang Shaoying smiled bitterly: "Now it's counted." I should be a good person, right?" Mu Qiubai said: "Knowing good is for the sake of goodness, you already know, what to do is what you have to think about." Zhang Shaoying sighed: "Sometimes I think that in fact, a school of thought is not bad, at least there will not be so many entanglements." Mu Qiubai said: "How to find what you want from it, this is your life." Zhang Shaoying nodded. said, "Taught. Shen Yi on the side asked: "But I don't know what the alliance leader thinks about the South Gate?" Zhang Shaoying summoned everyone to come for this matter, and said with a slight smile: "Whether it is the darkness or the South Gate, or the official mansion, these are all things that we should face, and this time the city will not happen again in the future." Everyone thought that this time Tang Yu came too suddenly, and he had to do it as a last resort, and there would be no such compromise if he was prepared in the future. Although it is too absurd for a young man like Zhang Shaoying to lead the Zonghengmen now, Zhang Shaoying's legendary experience. Coupled with the assistance of Ji Lingshuang behind him, this young man seems to be milky and unfinished, and it seems to be easy to deal with, but in fact it is not. Now what Zhang Shaoying needs is tempering, otherwise Ji Lingshuang will not let Zhang Shaoying take on this alliance alone.

Mu Qiubai asked, "What do you want?" Zhang Shaoying said: "The reason why you appear is because of your position, once the situation is achieved, you will not show up easily." And so they are. So this time Hu Dao can go, but his subordinates have to stay. The goalkeepers will do their best to do so. Zhang Shaoying said that everyone was stunned, but although it is huge, it can hit the South Gate hard, and the Zongheng faction is the strongest in terms of people and money, with its main power and the assistance of all sects. There is a chance of winning this battle. This time, Hu Dao sent a large number of masters of the South Gate to accompany him in the army, once the two sides were out of balance, the advantage of the army, the momentum of the masters, Xiaoyao City could not resist at all. He actually wanted to oppose Song Ting. Runaway City is the best place to stay, and that can't happen again. Although this time the government has dealt a great blow to the hearts of the people of Xiaoyao City, the military strength of Xiaoyao City is still there, and this is the most important thing. Originally, the Song court had some scruples about Xiaoyao City, and in the future, coupled with the maneuvering of all the sects, it could ensure that Xiaoyao City was safe. However, knowing the intention of the establishment of the Zongheng Gate, Song Ting will definitely be cautious, and how to intercept the master of the South Gate is where the strength lies. There is a large army in front of it, and there is a dark detour in the back, and the strength of the South Gate itself is not weak, so it is difficult to find the weakness of this battle. Shen Yi said: "Now the Qizong can make the same firearms as the Song Court, and all of them will be replaced in Xiaoyao City within a month. Mu Qiubai said coldly: "Hmph, it's okay for Xiaoyao City to protect itself without a fight, once it gets up, everything will fall short, and once it breaks through the bottom limit of the imperial court, all the scruples about Xiaoyao City will not be worth mentioning." Zhang Shaoying said solemnly: "In fact, there are far more terrible things in this world than this. All the sects were puzzled, and they all looked at him. Zhang Shaoying continued: "Many people spend their lives for their beliefs, and I am afraid that all of you here have a deep understanding. Wei Ye said: "If you have something to say, say it quickly." Zhang Shaoying said with a smile: "If faith itself is wrong, how do you think Confucianism should bear such right and wrong?"

Everyone was refreshed when they heard it, and they understood Zhang Shaoying's intentions, and they all admired it, and secretly sighed at the clever means. Whether it is darkness or the south gate, it seems to be loyal to the Song court, and the scholars cannot be humiliated, but they all have a fatal weakness, that is, Confucianism. Looking at the overall situation, the legitimacy of a country depends not only on blood, but also on the benevolence of kings and ministers, the prosperity of the country, and the justice of the law. However, in the face of all this, the darkness, the south gate, should not exist. The six virtues of Confucianism, wisdom, faith, sage, benevolence, righteousness, and loyalty seem to be a great joke in the face of today's Song court. In terms of the situation, all this that the imperial court has done is understandable. However, in terms of ethics, darkness and the south gate were both founded by Confucian beliefs, and in the face of Confucian theories, in the face of a country's benevolent government, in the dark, and for the south gate, this is a great blow, but the Song court or they themselves gave themselves a reason to convince themselves and continued to do what they thought was right. In fact, morally, their reasons are vulnerable, once what Zhang Shaoying said is realized, even if the darkness of the South Gate cannot be separated, it will be an uproar for them, and it is even impossible to refute. Even if they can't threaten the four doors and one black, they are likely to collapse over time.

Chen Zhidao said: "This is just an ethical offensive, this grinding magic skill Song Ting is powerful." Zhang Shaoying smiled and said: "This alone is not enough, I just want to know if you have the determination to fight against the odds." Chen Qi said lightly: "If we don't have determination, how can we come." Zhang Shaoying smiled and said: "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, this battle can only be won and not lost, among the sects, I am afraid that only the Medicine Sect has the heart." Zhang Shaoying said this, and the other cases were all frowning, and they were displeased. Zhang Shaoying didn't care, and continued: "Small fights, time-consuming and time-consuming, vertical and horizontal, wind and rain, as soon as it opens, it is desperate, I am afraid you have not thought about it like this." He only understood what he said, but if you think about it carefully, this is exactly the style of the vertical and horizontal faction, if you don't do it, it's enough, and if you do it, it's earth-shattering. In this way, it is obvious that it is necessary to start from the root. The so-called foundation is money, which is the lifeblood of every organization, country, and family. I didn't know the details of the South Gate before, but now with Tang Yu, the wealth of the South Gate is not shipped from the imperial court, but the South Gate is self-sufficient. With such a huge south gate, once it is fundamentally disturbed, even if the imperial court can withstand it, it will not be an easy task. The merchants of the two Zhejiang provinces are mixed, and the struggle between the prosperous ones is also quite fierce. And these, whether they are the Five Sects, Xiaoyao City or Tianfu, are the fundamentals that cannot be changed, and Tang Yu's scroll lists a lot of properties in the South Gate, and they are all big money, so there is no need to investigate anymore. In this way, although the vertical and horizontal gates can impact these merchants, but the south gate is dark, and the roots of the sects are also in the south, and the two Zhejiang provinces are even more important. In this way, all the sects have to give up their roots, and even though each sect has accumulated a mountain of savings, it cannot sit back and eat empty, and such a price is unacceptable.

Fighting with the Song Court, although all the sects knew that a lot of manpower and material resources would be consumed, Zhang Shaoying's dissatisfaction with his words dissipated as soon as he said this, but he was also terrified. However, if you think about it carefully, if you really fight each other in a small fight, it will be as little as a year or three years, or even ten years at most, and there will be too many changes in it, which is not good for the south gate and the vertical and horizontal gate. Moreover, attacking each other fundamentally, the involvement of merchants and Jiajia is not only the two Zhejiang, so that the various sects are fighting and the world is in turmoil. What is even more regrettable is that in the struggle between the upper strata and interests, it is always the people of Dawn who suffer. The reason why all the sects have a long history of energy is that they all know the way of benevolence and righteousness. Although this is not absolute, it is precisely because of the traction of benevolence and righteousness that all sects can be upright and assist the Han people. All the sects were silent for a long time, this matter was so big that they couldn't make the decision, even if they asked the order, the sects were far and near. The army of the state capital broke through Xiaoyao City, firstly, to deter people's hearts, and secondly, if there was a large army to fight in the future, the official army would be familiar with it. For the sake of a Tang Yu, it is just to control Xiaoyao City and prevent it from having time to storm the south gate, but the monk who runs can't run the temple, the south gate of the industry can't be removed, and Hu Dao can only change the soup without changing the medicine, once what Zhang Shaoying said comes true, this is fatal.

After a long time, Mu Qiubai asked first: "You still haven't finished speaking." Zhang Shaoying said with a smile: "Compared with the wind and clouds, the world is changing, the dust has settled, and the situation is coming again, I think all the sects have such strength, right?" According to Zhang Shaoying's statement, whether it is a big battle with the Song Court or a small battle, in the end, it is an endgame of injuring the enemy by one thousand and losing eight hundred.
