Gathering of Storms(58)
Kou Zhun said: "But this world always needs people to be in charge, and benevolence and righteousness cannot maintain the operation of a country, and which dynasty has been able to do it throughout the ages? The good and evil of the human heart determine the existence of this world, and it is not perfect in the first place, so how can it be peaceful and prosperous? And ask my friends, is it really useless today? Wei Ye sighed lightly, this is undeniable in martial arts, today this one ran into the palace to make a fuss, and tomorrow the one ran into the palace to make a fuss, despising the imperial power and showing off his prestige. On the throne of the king, how can a court feel at ease if it is completely forbidden to violate the prohibition of martial arts, provoke the law of the country, gather tens of thousands of people at every turn, complete organizational structure, and a huge network of interest relations? However, even if it is really a battle, it will be a defeat for both sides, and the gains outweigh the losses, and the peace will not be resentful of the interests of the other party, and they will be suspicious of each other, and the situation will eventually be broken. In particular, the threat of martial arts was unreasonable and insisted on defeating the four gates, how could they have thought that martial arts itself was a threat to the imperial court and a threat to the safety of the royal family? But all this is not something that can be changed by the people of the Hidden Sect, and the strings will not stop when they are opened, only to fight with all their might.
Wei Ye slowed down and said: "The charm of a friend who sacrifices his life to take righteousness is difficult to reach in case of emergency, but the decline has fallen, life in the world is not priceless, but the knowledge of peace and happiness, the so-called good to go to the sky to resign from the general, return to the flat land to be a fairy, the court can do everything from you?" Kou Zhun said quietly: "A good flat land to be a fairy, the charm of a friend is even more difficult to reach in case, in his position, he will seek his government, and if the road is different, he will not seek each other, and today and his friends will say goodbye for the time being, just hope that he will meet one day." Then boil the sword and talk about the wine, and taste the righteousness of life. With that, Kou Zhun stood up and saluted. Wei Ye got up and returned the salute and said, "I was a confidant, and Zhong Xian was not talented, but I had a few words to tell him. Kou Zhun stood up and bowed. Wei Ye returned the salute, turned around, and read in his mouth: "With a bright moon in his chest, and a seven-foot Dan heart hidden in his sword, if the people of Modao are stupid, they just know peace and happiness." The four sentences gave Kou Zhun an explanation, which confirmed the dissatisfaction of the literati hermits with the wanton exploitation of the imperial court. However, they saw that this was indeed the case, but if there was a better way, how could it be so? It is a great cause for a thousand years, but it is also a great humiliation for a thousand years, and the imperfection of personnel is always flawed in the world imagined by these literati and artists.
Staring at the back of his friend's departure, Kou Zhun felt a trace of grievance in his heart, the so-called famous minister has been immortalized in history, but what he has endured is so difficult. He can endure degradation, he can endure insults, he can endure the suspicions of His Majesty. But he alone can't bear the decision of his confidant to leave, and I ask the world what he can rely on? The so-called confidant is not always available. Haven't returned to Sangfeng yet. Kou Zhun received the report, and Zonghengmen began to harass the military camp with a small team of manpower, and there were still dung irrigation everywhere, making Sang Peak and Silkworm Peak uneasy. Kou Zhun shuddered, behind the seemingly crazy move. In fact, it has a deep meaning. The war between Chao and Shu is all vertical and horizontal doors in front of the battle, but the Shu Mountain Medicine Sect is not moving, the prosperity of Shu Mountain lies in pharmacology, medicine can save people or harm people, although the medicine sect has "medicine Bailun." Don't lose an evil", but under the premise of hurting people without hurting the body, the pharmacology of the medicine sect is still quite effective, which was fully prepared before Kou Zhun came from the south of the capital.
Speaking of Miaomen, Miaomen is just a general term for the Miao people everywhere to study toxicology, there are countless large and small Miaomen, and the medicine sect itself also delves into Gu arts. Ordinary people avoid Gu poison when they talk about it, but Kou Criterion believes that the Gu poison science advocated by the Shushan Medicine Sect is not sensational harm but saving people, although he calls the Seven Sects of Martial Arts bandits, but he does not look down on the Seven Sects of Martial Arts, but his beliefs are different. After thousands of years of inheritance, there are countless large and small Miaomen in western Sichuan, and only Mianzhou Miaomen has made Kou Zhun look at it. This is thanks to Shi Pojun's many years of operation in the West Gate, although there is no benefit from the South Gate, but the personnel control of the northwest and southwest is quite effective, and it has helped Kou Zhun a lot.
There are less than 1,000 people in Jinzhou Miaomen, but although Wei Zhang, the patriarch of Miaomen, is more than 60 years old, he is the most admired predecessor in western Sichuan, and he is an upright person. It is precisely for this reason that in the land of Sichuan and Shu, Jinzhou Miaomen and Shu Yam Sect are far away, and they seem to be secretly competing. It's just that the establishment of Jinzhou Miaomen is messy, and it is not as good as the precipitation of medicine and medicine. These truths are very simple, but people have always been afraid of the harm of poisonous Gu, even if it is taboo in martial arts, so that Gu poison has been clouded with a harmful shadow since its birth. The Medicine Sect actually sent people to sprinkle dung and irrigate, although it was not poisoned, but it was stinky for a long time, and with the humidity of Shushan, it was easy to get sick. This time, Kou Zhun asked Wang Jixian to personally come to the door to invite Wei Zhang, Kou Zhun's reason was very simple, he didn't need to deal with Shu Yam Sect, he just needed him to help solve the problem. After thinking about it, Wei Zhangsi had to agree, but he wrote a letter of apology to Yaozong, and then came to take up his post. You must know that the pharmacies of the Medicine Sect are all over the southwest, helping the world to save people, and paying taxes as usual, and the imperial court cannot fight against the Medicine Sect in terms of medical skills, and it is impossible to ban these pharmacies, so it is impossible to let the local people have no medicine to rely on, right?
The people who came to attack the camp seemed to be people from the Loose City, giggling, crazy, and full of tricks, which could humiliate these rich disciples. How many people have ever seen these yellow and white things flying all over the sky, a disgusting scene. When Kou Zhun returned, Wei Zhang, with the assistance of Ke Wanjun, the chief of the three armies, asked the officers and soldiers to quickly clean up these yellow and white things and gather them at the foot of the mountain to burn, while sprinkling lime on them. The humidity of Shushan is thick, and even if it is deeply buried, it cannot hold the rising moisture, which can only be eliminated by adding lime incineration. Kou Zhun was satisfied, but the people of Xiaoyao City were making trouble on the Sang Peak, and no one could intercept them, and Kou Zhun was puzzled, what were the secret envoys of the upper and lower Luomen doing? Although the darkness was mainly to collect intelligence, what he usually practiced was the technique of tacit understanding in joint attacks, and he was even more able to capture the enemy by rounding up the enemy. It's just that during the war of Chaowu, Kou Zhun used most of the manpower of the darkness in the south at one time, and suffered heavy losses, and also disrupted the operation of the darkness, and now he has transferred manpower to join the war of Chaoshu, and the dark ten sides have long been overwhelmed, and then transfer 10,000 to merge into the south gate This is the last manpower. The 3,000 dark envoys suffered a lot of losses, but Kou Zhun only kept 1,000, and the Jianhou camp was divided into 500, and the south gate was divided into 500 for the purpose of guarding and ensuring that the generals would not be assassinated. But there were less than a hundred people from Xiaoyao City, and there were nearly a thousand dark envoys on Mulberry Peak who didn't catch any of them.
For the darkness, Kou Zhun still tolerated the emperor's face. The darkness gave him a gentle feeling, as if their duty was only to spy on the information, to catch people, and not to be angry. This time, Kou Zhun was angry, and the dark envoy he transferred was jointly in charge of the two masters of the upper and lower Roman gates, and in order to prevent the inability to coordinate, he deliberately let the upper Roman gate hang up the right and the lower Roman gate hang the secondary, and make unified scheduling. The two doors are rare to see Kou Zhun angry, the official is coercive, they are too frightened to get up, Kou Zhun reprimanded the two of them fiercely and then regretted it, these two people are doing their best by his side, he is obvious to all. So Kou Zhun specially prepared a feast, feasted the two, and warned the two that darkness would play a decisive role in this great battle, so that the two should not take it lightly, and at the same time asked the details of the attack on the city. It turned out that although those rich children had martial arts, they were afraid that the yellow and white things would be in chaos, making it difficult for the dark envoys to come forward. Later, Kou Zhun asked the dark envoy to inspect the camp tent and found out twelve people, and personally visited the place not in the big tent, but outside the camp tent, in front of the public. How could the young man withstand Kou Zhun's deep and serious gaze, he was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, only feeling that his life was at stake. The onlookers around were even more frightened and didn't dare to speak, they were all unusually silent. After a long time, Kou Zhun sighed and said, "Accustomed to the wealth of the capital, it is indeed difficult for you to come to the battlefield. No matter where you come from, from the day you enter the East Gate, you have been a solid force to "maintain the imperial power, and after death". Over the years, the East Gate has become bigger and bigger, and its responsibilities are naturally greater, more to share His Majesty's worries, rather than wandering around the streets all day long, making trouble and making trouble. I will not punish you this day, but I will punish you with sixteen rods as a punishment. ”
The Song Military Law Limited Order, although generals have the right to free criminal responsibility of less than 15 rods, it is forbidden to exceed 15 rods. Although a small cane is used, the difference between it and a big cane is only a thin and a thick, the pain is comparable, ten days and a half months can not get out of bed, Kou Zhun deliberately cane sixteen, the punishment given is more shameful than killing them. violated military discipline first, and was humiliated and intemperate, but he could no longer hold his head up in front of many rich children, and it was more uncomfortable to live than to die. While thanking Kou Zhun for not killing, he was also angry at his own gains and losses, and he cried for a while, but begged for death. Kou Zhun said angrily: "The destination of the battlefield is the horse leather shroud, if you don't have such perseverance, how can this war be won? I can tolerate and forgive small things, but under the war, I will not tolerate those who retreat, and only by moving forward bravely can I dare to face the bandits and defeat them, so that I can return to Tokyo and serve Your Majesty. Kou Zhun said this, and the people in the Jianhou camp were moved to cry. This war came too fast, too fierce, and too many people died, and the Jianhou camp was really frightened, and at this time, the encouragement of only a few words was like nectar for the officers and soldiers for a long time, and they were all excited.
