Chapter 9: Every Father Will Kill Each Other (Part 2)
Speaking of this, Li Ye shook his head and smiled: "The righteous army is not invincible, the reason why it can break through Chang'an at the moment is just that the feudal towns along the way, have lost confidence in the imperial court, and they have not strictly blocked it." Although the rebel army has occupied Chang'an, it is fighting on all sides, and even Guanzhong has not been completely captured until now. Not to mention Fengxiang Zheng Zheng, the army of the four feudal towns is fighting with the righteous army everywhere, and I have not heard that the righteous army can quickly attack the city and pull out the village. ”
Li Ye paused and continued: "As for the scholar...... If you know it well, there are not many scholars and scholars in the righteous army, and even fewer will be reused. The rebel army crisscrossed the north and the south, and in the final analysis, it still plundered for a living, and never really governed one side. Because the rebels did not have the talent for this. Without a complete army of soldiers, it is impossible to govern civil affairs, and the immediate harm is the lack of continuous replenishment of food and straw materials for the righteous army. ”
In the end, Li Ye said slowly: "The capture of Chang'an by the righteous army was a good situation, but the people in the territory under the jurisdiction of the righteous army really supported the righteous army. Why? The general also said that what the people need is food and clothing, but wherever the rebels go, it is like locusts crossing the border, and the grain has been looted, and they are unable to govern the place and restore their livelihood, how do you ask the people to support you?"
"Why have the feudal towns of the world been fighting with the rebels today? Are they loyal to the imperial court? If he was really loyal to the imperial court, he would not get out of the way and let the rebels invade Chang'an. They saw that the rebels did not have the ability to govern the country, and sooner or later they would die, and the Tang dynasty would surely recover Chang'an, so they fought against the rebels - the Anshi Rebellion, the rebels also broke through Chang'an, but the rebels did not understand political affairs and did not know the way to govern the country.
As for the purpose of the battle between the feudal army and the rebel army, on the one hand, they did not want to be punished by the imperial court afterwards, and on the other hand, of course, they took the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and after the fact they were rewarded by the imperial court.
Li Ye's words were unceremoniously, which made Zhu Wen stunned and stunned, and he didn't react for a while, obviously still understanding, but Zhu Zhen didn't know how to delve into the reasoning, and he didn't understand the real meaning of these words, he only knew that Li Ye was saying that the righteous army was going to be the same as the Anshi Rebellion Army, and eventually went to ...... end, and couldn't help but be furious, "What nonsense! How dare you slander my Daqi, don't you want to live ?"
"Shut up!"
Zhu Wen suddenly scolded, making Zhu Zhen shut up, and then looked at Li Ye, at this moment his face was no longer relaxed and chattering, replaced by a solemn look.
But he is the general of the righteous army in the end, and his position determines the angle from which he thinks about the problem, and he still does not believe that the righteous army will definitely die.
The tea shed was quiet, no one spoke loudly at this time, and the sporadic tea guests also seemed cautious when they saw the costumes and styles of Zhu Wen and Li Ye and others. The tea boss didn't dare to say anything, lest Zhu Wen and Li Ye disagree, so they would fight.
Maybe in his opinion, that Xuanpao boy is really crazy, and he actually said in front of the righteous army that the righteous army will inevitably perish, doesn't he want to live. He even felt that the general of the rebel army was not an ordinary person, if he was an ordinary rebel general, when he heard such words, wouldn't he raise his sword and cut the boy in the robe?
It was nearly June, the afternoon sun was still blazing, and outside a shady tea shed, the bright official road was steaming hot, the shadows of the trees were mottled, and countless fine dust was flying and turning in the pillar of light. There are few pedestrians on the official road, and the crisp bird calls sound in the forest from time to time.
This is the border of Dengzhou, outside the woods next to the official road, there are large areas of barren fertile land, and countless crops have died without the care of the people, which looks particularly desolate. Farther away, there are mountains, forests, rivers, and blue skies, and at the southern end of the hinterland of the Central Plains, you can see the whole world when you look up.
The war is raging, and the world is surging.
In the center of the world, in the gap of the rolling beacon smoke, in this calm wilderness, the two are only in their twenties, but they are destined to be each other's enemies, and the young people who never die, at this moment, like confidants and old friends, sit face to face and discuss, discuss the general trend, point out the country, and comment on the heroes.
Zhu Wen tugged at the collar in his armor, feeling a little hot.
He looked at Li Ye, "My Daqi army crisscrosses the north and south of the river, and in the past seven years, it has been fought for thousands of miles, and the sergeants and soldiers of the army are all elite in a hundred battles, breaking through the prefectures and counties all the way to Chang'an, and getting countless armor and equipment from the treasury, even if it is the most powerful feudal town, it will not be more well-equipped than us." We have a hundred brave generals who have fought all the way, and each of them can charge into battle, and we are all together, and there are not so many intrigues, so we can grow and develop. Right now, Your Majesty is sitting in Chang'an, and the Tang army is attacking from all sides, but so what, it's not our army that is big now?"
Speaking of this, Zhu Wen gradually clarified his thoughts.
He said loudly: "The Tang dynasty is in decline, the emperor is deaf, the traitorous ministers in the court are in charge, and the subjects in the state and county are centrifuged. When the Tang Emperor was in charge of Chang'an and commanded the world, we were able to break through Chang'an and drive the Tang Emperor to Shuzhong, but now that the Tang Emperor is in a corner, why can't we defeat the Sifang Domain?
"There are more than 50 feudal towns in the world, who can stop my majestic soldiers? What about Gao Yu? Known as a famous general in the world and one of the arms of the dynasty, he has not been defeated by my army, so he can only retreat into the city? There are millions of soldiers and horses in the world, but in the eyes of this general, they are just a flock of sheep. If there is no qualified commander, even if we attack from all sides, what can we do? I ask the countless heroes in the world, and those who call themselves heroes are like carp crossing the river, but if our army guards Tongguan and the Kwantung army, who can break it?"
"Gongzi Fangcai also said that the traitors of the Tang family are in charge, and they only know how to fight for power and profit, and the Tang family is not in harmony, and they all think about self-preservation and strengthen themselves. As long as I can sit firmly in Guanzhong, after three or five years, who in the world will have the courage to compete with my Daqi?"
"Childe is right, I lack scholars in Daqi, and there are no talents to govern the country, but as long as the situation is stable, why worry about scholars not coming to serve? Don't forget, I, the emperor of Daqi, is also a scholar, if he has a heart, how can he not know how to recruit talents?"
The more Zhu Wen spoke, the more passionate he became, and the blood in his chest was surging, he couldn't help but stand up, flick his scarlet cloak, and be full of spirit.
He took two steps back and forth, suddenly stopped, and stared at Li Ye: "My Great Qi army is the division of tigers and wolves, and it is also the division of the upper and lower levels, how can it be compared with the Hu people of An Lushan? Is it comparable to the Tang army that is scattered in the sand? Now that we have captured Chang'an, defeated Zheng Jin's army, and turned an eye on the world, the Quartet is mighty, who can defeat me? No one in the world can defeat me, and the world is not in my hands?!"
When the last sentence was spoken, the domineering side leaked, and Zhu Wen's pride and ambition were suddenly revealed, as if he was a king overlooking the world!
Li Ye chuckled, opened the folding fan with a snap, and shook it lightly on his chest, he didn't stand up, but his momentum was not lost to Zhu Wen at all, on the contrary, he had a little more calmness, he stared at Zhu Wen, and asked lightly: "Is there really no one in the world who can beat you?"
Zhu Wen stared at Li Ye fiercely.
The two eyes intersected, like swords striking each other, as if there were sparks.
Silence is better than sound at this point.
"Who the hell are you?" said Zhu Wen first.
"Who are you?" Li Ye was unhurried.
Both of them are shrewd and unparalleled, and they have been discussing for a long time, if they can't find anything strange, won't they both become mediocre people?
How could a monk who had traveled the rivers and lakes have such a profound insight into the general situation of the world? He knew the truth of the stability of the country and the country? and he still asked the words that should not be compromised?
How can an ordinary young general have the bearing to look at the world, have such a deep understanding of the strength of the righteous army and the officers and soldiers, and understand the way to win?
In the whole world, there are countless heroes, troubled times, and heroes, but how many people really have the insight and bearing to achieve great things?
On the border of Dengzhou, on the bank of Xuzhou, how many are there?
The owner of the tea shed originally saw that the two were talking happily, and he was already relieved, thinking that as long as he didn't fight, it would be fine. His humble tea shed can't stand the toss. Although the tables and benches are all old and rough objects, they are all the work of the old man. Teapots, bowls, tea leaves, and other things are not worth a few copper coins, but they are the old man's life.
If he is damaged, where can he get it, a pot of tea will not make a few dollars, life is already poor, just to survive, he can't withstand the wind and rain at all, he is also old, he can't afford to suffer, if he is also injured, then he doesn't even have money to go to the doctor.
Although the old man didn't understand the words of the general and the son, and he didn't know what they were arguing about, he just had to be harmonious. However, at this time, seeing the two of them glaring angrily, as if they were ready to make a move, the old man's face suddenly turned pale, and his heart rose to his throat. What is the true martial arts Xuantian God who knows good and evil, and what Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves suffering and rescues suffering, he has asked for it all in his heart.
The sporadic guests who drank tea in the tea shed, seeing that the momentum was not right, dared to stay longer, hurriedly drank the bowl in one gulp, took out the copper coins and put them on the table, and left in a hurry with their bags, for fear of being affected by the pond fish. If it were ordinary people fighting, they would still have a mind to watch the excitement, but this is a general who kills people without blinking, if they are not careful, their heads will fall to the ground, where do they dare to stay for half a minute.
The old man wanted to get up and persuade him, but he didn't dare to persuade him, so anxious that his forehead went straight to the big man.
A breeze blew, blowing the tea shed banner, blowing everyone's hair, and making the old man shiver.
The eldest young man was ready to get up, and Song Jiao's eyes were even sharper.
Zhu Zhen had already raised his arm, ready to clench his fist at any time, and let the more than 100 horsemen rush over.
Li Ye and Zhu Wen looked at each other and stalemate.
But only for a moment.
"Juwen?!"
"King An?!"
The two of them gritted their teeth at the same time, and then the fierce light flashed in their eyes, and the killing intent burst out suddenly, and the vigorous aura exploded in an instant.
Zhu Wen drew his knife, staggered, and slashed, the action was done in one go, and the long knife carried the wind and slashed at Li Ye's head.
Li Ye put away the folding fan with a snap, pushed the wooden table, and crashed into Zhu Wen, while sliding a few steps behind the wooden bench.
The long knife slashed at the wooden table, and it shattered and scattered, and the fine dust burst up like a cloud.
Song Jiao and Da Shao Si Ming got up at the same time.
Zhu Zhen's palms clenched into fists, and more than 100 horsemen immediately rode their horses and galloped!
