Gathering of Storms (60)

He Jin asked rhetorically, "Isn't it the imperial court?" Guo Xiao said: "The imperial court is the leader of the gang, and the national law has naturally been a long time, is this wrong?" He Jin said: "It is good to seek self-interest in martial arts, although the means are cruel, but always advocate chivalry, is this a lie? The world is not absolute, the justice of the imperial court, and the ganglun of the imperial court are not the same as greedy officials and rebellion?" Guo Xiao sighed: "I really doubt that you have surrendered to the bandits." He Jin smiled slightly and said, "I have indeed changed a lot, but this is not the reason for my defection. At that moment, He Jin said the details of his capture.

He fought Shao Fu in the Great War, and when he woke up, he realized that it was the Immortal Sect God of War Chongyao who fought against him, and this person was one of the top ten felons in the East Gate. After he was captured, he was taken care of by Xianzong, and he has been living in seclusion in a bamboo forest in the mountains, and he was taken care of by one of Chongyao's two maids, although these two daughters were dressed as maids, but they were knowledgeable and had an extraordinary temperament, which made He Jin's so-called prejudice against martial arts have changed. Although the second daughter was sent by Chongyao to take care of him, she also came to educate him. The purpose is very simple, let him influence the emperor to accept the existence of martial arts. He Jin was cautious, but gradually he found that many of the prejudices against the imperial court in martial arts were real, and the foundation of civilization in the Great Song Dynasty was not as tall as he imagined, the dynasty was changed, but the dynasty was always the dynasty, the emperor was always the emperor, and the power was always royal, and it was not much different. Throughout the Qin and Han dynasties, the so-called benevolence, righteousness, and virtue of Confucianism have long been deviated, which is undeniable and has a lot of evidence. In particular, the so-called martial arts "know the good to the good, chivalry first" advocates is not exactly for this? the origin of goodness is not determined by good and evil, but by emotion, the energy used by the seven sects of martial arts has a long history, in addition to the establishment of the public world, it is the inheritance of the people's hearts with emotion, even if a disciple is a burning slave, once he has his own spiritual home, then everything he does has meaning. The chivalry of the Seven Sects of Martial Arts is not to rob the rich and help the poor. Instead, it is to benefit the people, benefit the people, and let them know the meaning of life, which is completely contrary to the imperial court's policy of fooling the people and benefiting the rule. And what is the state pursuing? Is it stability? Is it prosperity? If these ideas are allowed to run rampant, how ridiculous will this world be? Therefore, the Seven Sects of Martial Arts are wise. The path they chose eventually coincided, but they did not give up their own interests, and the same is true of the imperial court, to put it bluntly, both sides are for selfish desires, and the so-called benevolence is just the general trend of human ethics, and cannot be used as an absolute ideal pursuit, people need realistic practice and then play these, advocating human ethics to maintain ultimate stability. Therefore, the significance of the South Gate is to exterminate the martial arts and stabilize the world. What is wrong is scale, what is scale? Knowing that the existence of Hey Dao is like a cancer clinging to a few lifetimes, but still having to bother and do its best to encircle and suppress it thanklessly? This is dull and stubborn. Kou Xiang knew this in his heart, so he preached the slogan of daring to be a bandit and serving the country and the people. Human thinking is unlimited, but this world is restricted, and not everyone can understand it. Support your claims. As a manager, you only need to know the beginning and end of the matter and plan ahead. Strategizing is the best way to do this. Martial arts are also human beings, and the imperial court is also human beings, so if the intentions of the two sides coincide, why can't they be at peace with each other? In the final analysis, it is the interests of both sides, and no one will retreat, so there is only one real fight. Self-discipline in winning and losing, not to conquer, but to let each one take a step back willingly, and in the end it is still the end of peace. With the current situation of the imperial court, it is clear that no longer a long war will be allowed. Exactly for this. The South Gate was born to exterminate the troubled bandits, no matter whether it is right or wrong, no matter what the meaning is, in its position, it should seek its own government, and it should sweep all directions to relieve His Majesty's worries, instead of indulging in illusory and unrealistic conjectures. As a spiritual concept, He Jin is not wrong, but what he uses is not the way of governing the country, but the meaning of life, which is not suitable for the Nanmen faith.

What He Jin said was to overturn the original nonsense of the three theories of people, so that the south gate completely returned, and the mission of the south gate to exterminate the martial arts is not faith, but responsibility, the court is the head, the world needs to surrender, only to have a stable and prosperous scene, to have the effect of long-term peace and stability. These bandits do not respect the laws of the imperial court and wantonly attack the imperial court, which exceeds the bottom line of the imperial court, and requires a thorough blow to have the power of deterrence. Whether it was Guo Xiao or Li Bozhong, He Jinchang was deeply moved by this shocking remark. This is what the South Gate needs, the South Gate does not need to know their meaning, not everyone's life can be so perfect, the South Gate only needs to know their responsibilities, know the meaning of the trip is enough, the so-called benevolence is just a kind of own philosophy, and is not suitable for the South Gate. With these words, Guo Xiao was the most shocked, there was nothing wrong with Hu Dao preaching the three ways of people, but he mixed all this with the South Gate, intending to use human ethics and righteousness to educate himself and the enemy, which seemed to be based on reality, but he had deviated from the way.

Guo Xiao has been thinking solemnly, he has great respect for Fan Zhaoling, Tang Yu, and Hu Dao, it is the persistence of these people step by step that has made Nanmen have today's situation, but He Jin's changes really surprised him, but he had to admire, he was right. As long as they are loyal to the country and the imperial court, then the south gate will have more cheap rights. After thinking about it, Guo Xiao asked, "What do you want?" He Jin responded: "We are always accumulating manpower, but we are always losing manpower, and the confrontation of war relies on taking the initiative, not the so-called defensive attack." You and I both know that the peaks of Shushan are difficult to conquer even with a million troops, not by manpower, not by combat power, but by nature. Guo Xiao said: "Jinmu, water, fire and earth, this trick has long been mastered by the lord of Kou, but this is the bottom line of Shushan, breaking through this boundary, there will definitely be banditry and chaos, and you and I both know that the current situation is not suitable, and the court needs peace、、、、、" He Jin interrupted Guo Xiao's words and said in a deep voice: "The country needs tranquility, why go to war? Martial arts persecution of us is right, what do they want? In the final analysis, isn't it money? Isn't it the privilege of going unpunished? How many imperial relatives and relatives are corrupt and pervert the law, and how many powerful people are careless about people's lives? Even if Emperor Taizu is alive, don't all of these also exist? The establishment of the Great Song Dynasty's economic prosperity requires tranquility, but what is tranquility? We have made peace with the Khitan people, so why can't we make peace with the martial arts? The Khitans fight us, we can give money to eliminate disasters, and the party people rob us and we are crowned kings, and we are the envoys of the Shuofang Festival, why can't the martial arts fight us? During the Liao and Song Dynasty wars, the martial arts sent a large number of elites to lurk in the clouds for us, but what did we do? Yang Yanzhao, Yang Si broke the city of Sanzhou? If it weren't for the weakness of His Majesty, let's give a blow with the strength of the country, why worry that the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun can't be recovered?" Such remarks should be said by a person who is favored by the emperor, and everyone is frightened, and a bad one is a great crime of the Yi clan.

Guo Xiao sighed: "What you said is right, but is this just Your Majesty's fault? What about Wang Qinruo, Ding Wei, and Chen Yaosu? The general trend of the imperial court is swayed by power, and the so-called human ethics, the so-called ideals, and the so-called laws are all in charge of others, not their own. Therefore, Wu Dao intended to rebel, but they did not want to be the emperor and get involved in political affairs, so the only choice they made was to change an emperor under the war. The three of them heard it like a thunderbolt in the sky, and they were suddenly shocked into a cold sweat. These words are reasonable, but they are so rebellious, and the anxiety and surprise of violating the imperial power and orthodoxy filled the three of them. Guo Xiaodu's body trembled and asked, "What do you want to say?" Looking at everyone's expressions, he understood that not everyone could accept this, and in an instant, he lost interest in talking about it anymore. But the current South Gate needs to take the initiative, and all this depends on Guo Xiao's courage.

After all, Guo Xiao has not taken on any major affairs, he has the qualifications to lead the South Gate, but his will and courage have been blinded by this country and the world, so Guo Xiao is thinking about whether to discuss it with the Lord of Koudu. He Jin asked in a deep voice: "Why does Xiang Kou attach so much importance to the establishment of the South Gate? The East Gate has already sacrificed so many people, can His Majesty send a large number of reinforcements from the East Gate? In the future, the South Gate will still be in charge, and you will not wake up?" Li Bozhong and He Jinchang were both shocked, all of this was said simply, but it was really more than they could bear. Above war, imperial power, and human morality, they realized at this moment that they were such frogs at the bottom of the well.

Guo Xiao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "The shame of the South Gate, the pride of the South Gate, and the unyielding of the South Gate will all be washed away here, so this time we will cut it first." After saying these words, Guo Xiao's hands were trembling, and he was moving all the bets in his body. Now at the south gate, the eastern sect was brought into Chengdu by Zhuang He, and only the more than 6,000 people of the northern sect He Jinchang were available. The newly appointed Xizong Li Bozhong has gathered less than 5,000 manpower, and the Eastern Gate cavalry of the Southern Sect can also be transferred. There are only more than 15,000 people in the department, and there are only 10,000 troops dispatched, but with two mountains entrenched, the bandits still have to be scrupulous. As soon as He Jin returned to the south gate, it was such a big move, but seeing the people running up and down the mountain, it was extremely lively, and Kou Zhun on the opposite mountain then sent more than 3,800 people from the Qingtian Camp over.

In the evening, in the hazy night, more than 400 butterfly wings fluttered from the streets of Chengdu, and the scouts at the Zonghengmen Gate quickly delivered a message to Wangfeng. This time Zhuang He is very well prepared, butterfly wings, bat wings a total of more than 400 planes, of which 300 planes each 100 planes go to the east of the Shu Mountain peaks, silkworm peak after the silkworm peak, the goddess peak on the right, and then the three peaks of Lingfeng on the right, and the rest of the more than 100 are used by the guards.
