CHAPTER XXV
Lu Chuan stayed on the mountain for a few days, and clearly felt that Lenglongling was really different, far from being comparable to ordinary cottages.
The soldiers were divided into three shifts, one for drills, one for patrolling, one for ploughing, and rest in shifts.
The leaders of the village practice martial arts and study the formation when they are resting, and no matter how bad it is, it is a clear talk.
There will be no such thing as robbing houses, roadblocks, robberies, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling.
The laws and regulations on the mountain are very strict, and violators must be punished severely, and they are consistent from top to bottom, and the owner of the village is no exception.
At the beginning of the hour, Lu Chuan finished practicing swordsmanship and walked towards the hall, where Yang Mu, Ding Yu, and Ye Nanyun were already present.
"Three brothers, what are you talking about?"
"We're talking about the emperor of the day. ”
Lu Chuan was stunned at first, he didn't expect that although these brothers were doing things that were loyal to the king, they didn't have the slightest reverence for the Son of Heaven. It seems that after all, it is still a bit unassuming.
"I heard the elders in my family say that there is a wise king in the saint today. ”
Ding Erxia smiled: "If it was a few years ago, it really meant something Mingjun." At the beginning of his ascension to the throne, he ordered the two departments of the soldiers to each of the two capitals, the five prefectures, the six departments, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and other yamen hall officials, and the two divisions of the governor and the prefect and the sub-garrison officials in the towns outside the town to write the names of their posts, note their years and previous appointments, and stick them to the wall of the Wenhua Hall for viewing; they reprimanded the priest Li Zi Province, the eunuch Liang Shi, and the relatives Wanxi, and dismissed more than 2,000 "ministers", and dismissed 1,000 people, including Zen masters, real people, and the king of the Western Fans, and the national teachers. Pure heart and few desires, not confused in politics, virtuous and talented, and not biased. It is quite a sign of hard work, the revival of the Middle Way. In the past few years, I have been slacking off. He favored the scholar Liu Ji, who was this Liu Ji? Colluded with eunuchs and framed the imperial history, and many officials and Qingliu were disgraced and dismissed by him, and their families were ruined. Besides, this year, he ordered to build a longevity tower outside Chaoyang Gate, and there are dozens of palace corridors. If a monarch is not diligent in government affairs, frugal and loves the people, but he wants to indulge in such things that are not beneficial to the world and harmful to the people, can he still be worthy of a clear word?"
"In any case, the people's lives have improved over the years, and even if they have, they can offset the merits. Besides, the longevity tower hasn't been built, so it's not too confused. ”
"You can't say that, merit is merit and demerit, and merit and demerit cannot be offset in the first place. What a great achievement did Qin Shi Huang have in unifying the six kingdoms, writing the same text, having the same track, collecting the world's soldiers, and building the Great Wall of the Ten Thousand Ages? Besides, what a great achievement it was for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to remove the vassal king, establish Taixue, expel the Xiongnu, and open the Silk Road? But after old age, he asked for immortals, delusional immortality, and caused a witch Gu as a disaster, so he had to be scolded by the world? If you want to say that you have merit, then didn't Emperor Yang of Sui, who can be called a brother and brother with Xia Wei, also have the merit of digging canals and dredging Cao Yun?
......
Don't look at their brothers, on weekdays, brothers, friends and brothers, they are harmonious, and when they talk about national affairs, they express their own opinions,-for-tat, and make trouble.
If you don't know, you may think that in the blink of an eye, you have to fight each other with swords, and you will not give up until you break the blood.
In the end, everyone was parched and sat in their chairs panting.
Yang Mu smiled slightly, he is still quite satisfied with this kind of scene, there are people who can say a word that can convince everyone, he is not, he can fall down after listening to someone's words, there are people who have no opinions, brothers are not, since they are not, then the argument is good, the collision of languages is one of the ways to accept each other and unify thoughts, and it is also a better one.
Yang Mu said: "A predecessor once said: The court is the rivers and lakes of officials, and the rivers and lakes are the courts of heroes. The world is not the world of one person, but the world of the people of the world, the court can not do it, the people of the rivers and lakes can do it, and the government can do it. In this way, we can ensure the peace of the world and the livelihood of the people. Although we are not officials, we can also keep the peace of one side, which is enough. If the time is bright, it coincides with the Holy Lord, and he is loyal to the country, he is a native soldier, and if the time is not good, and he happens to meet a faint king, he cannot speak clearly, he is a thief! ”
"Yes, if we meet Zhu Qizhen, Zhu Jianshen and others, he will bring disaster to the country and the people, why should we guard the world for him?"
"Yes, the world is not the world of one person and one surname, the virtuous live in it, and the unvirtuous lose it. He can't be an emperor, so he has to find someone who can replace him. ”
Lu Chuan let out a sigh of relief and asked, "Do you brothers, know who said this?"
Yang Mu said with a smile: "This sentence is what one of my predecessors I admire the most, I don't dare to say his old man's name, but there are poems as proof: a sword presses the green forest, a single palm shakes the world, Mozi is reborn, the first person in the world!"
"Since everyone knows that this is what the Cloud Swordsman said, then do you know what his old man said?"
"What?"
"His old man once said that the affairs of the rivers and lakes are not to be said about the court, and the court does not care about the grievances of the rivers and lakes. ”
"He still said that?"
"I said it, because the sentence that the eldest brother said was the reason why his old man became an official, and the latter sentence was the basis for him to take charge of the supervision and arrest department and govern the huge rivers and lakes in an orderly manner. ”
"The sixth brother knows so clearly, I don't know if it's because of it?"
"It's a shame to say that Yao Chengcheng is the younger brother's maternal uncle. ”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was surprised.
In fact, the only one who was really surprised was Ye Nanyun, the fifth hero, who had a jumpy temperament and didn't like to care about things outside the village, so he didn't ask anything and didn't know anything, while several other people had already investigated Lu Chuan clearly before inviting him up the mountain.
As for why you should pretend to be surprised, in fact, there is no other reason, this kind of thing, after all, it is better for the parties themselves to say it, so as not to let the brothers know that several brothers will investigate themselves and find faults.
As they were talking, they saw a herald running in from outside.
"Report to the owner of the village, according to the report, there is a group of barbarians who robbed from Alxa to the south along the road, and they have almost reached Hongsi Lake, less than three hundred miles away. ”
The brothers glanced at each other, and Yang Mu said, "I haven't heard of a large group of people moving, so it's a small group of rogues. What do you think?"
Ding Erxia said: "A team of three or five hundred people can make the fifth brother bring a thousand men to exterminate." ”
Yang Mu turned his head and asked, "Sixth brother, what do you think?"
Lu Chuan pondered: "The art of war: the army is scheming, the good fighter will cause people but not others, the form will be followed, and the enemy will take it. Move it with profit, and treat it with a pawn. The enemy's plan is grain, grass, and livestock, so they lure him with grain, grass, and livestock, and the enemy's troops, which are cavalry, force him to dismount by a rough road. Kill them with ambushes, and you can win. ”
Yang Mu nodded and said, "Let's go, go to the sand table to deduce, and see how the sixth brother will control the enemy." ”
The four brothers turned to the apse, and a two-foot square sand table was placed in the center.
"Sixth brother, this sand table is not the same as the reality, please. ”
Lu Chuan roughly identified the direction, and after a little thought, he stretched out his hand and pointed, "I want to break the enemy in the Wolf Cave Ditch, ten miles away from the north of the Red Temple." ”
Yang Mu frowned and said: "The wolf cave ditch is not on the way to go, and it may not be easy to introduce the wolf cave ditch." ”
"This requires some preparation, I want a hundred brothers to put on makeup and disguise themselves as homeless people, carry grain, grass, livestock into the wolf's cave, and send a person who knows Yi to wait for them on the road, and be sure to trick them into the wolf's hole. ”
Yang Mu turned his head and asked Ye Wuxia again, "Fifth brother, I will give you a thousand people, where do you want to break the enemy?"
"Since the other party's goal is Hongsi Lake, I will destroy the enemy outside Hongsi Lake. ”
"Alas...... It is inevitable that there will be brothers who will sacrifice their lives for the country. ”
Ye Wuxia said: "These barbarians are very fierce, and casualties are inevitable, but I will definitely minimize the casualties." ”
"What's the minimum?"
"Within fifty. ”
"Within fifty...... Sixth brother, what about you, how many casualties can you control?"
"The younger brother has never been in battle against the enemy, just talking on paper. However, if the enemy cooperates, no one may die. ”
"When it comes to the military, there is no joke. ”
"My brother is willing to make a military order, if one person dies, please ask my eldest brother to be punished. ”
"Okay, how many men do you want, but there are only three thousand people that can be mobilized on the mountain. ”
"With 100,000 armor, thousands of miles of food, no more, 1,000 people are enough. ”
