There are thousands of tricks in the mind, and each one is more wonderful than the other.

Throughout the ages, the army has been plotting, the plan must follow the soldiers, and if there is a plan, there will be a strategy, this is the reincarnation of heaven, and life and death will not be extinguished. The key to victory or defeat depends on who can take the last step. It's like a female madman playing with birds in the Hanlin Academy, even if she can peek into a glimmer of heaven, whether she can break it and conspire against it is still unknown...

The spring breeze is proud, and the summer is coming.

The tail of spring walked unusually calmly, so calm that everything felt surprised.

It's as if the people in the north have forgotten about the things in the south, and they can't even lift the strength of the wind.

months ago.

Yueyang's night banquet, the words of the high platform, shocked the world.

Clans in various places, literati and Confucian scholars were in an uproar when they heard it. Within a few days, it was printed into countless pieces of paper, turned into a huge blizzard, followed by the tail of spring, and swept away from east to west to north and south. However, after the spring and summer solstice, the snowstorm that blew away the north and south did not make much trouble, but it was melted into rain by the scorching heat, and finally it was exposed to the scorching sun, and the slag evaporated...

As the so-called emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuchs are in a hurry, and their efforts are wasted and saliva.

The king of the south is plotting rebellion, even if there is a big movement, if you want to fight or kill, you have to look at the face of Kyoto. And Kyoto Chang'an didn't have a fart from beginning to end, and he pressed the facts under his nose for life, and he didn't see anything, so he didn't want to pursue it?

The emperor's mind is unpredictable.

Now that the monarch has made up his mind, no matter how many indignant pens chirp crookedly and get out of the limelight, in the end it is not in vain?

As for why Kyoto has such an attitude, there are different opinions among the people in the market and the imperial court. Among them, the most convincing is the remarks of a certain etiquette master in Yizhou City. According to him, although the king of the south built a high platform, sacrificed to the ancestors, and beheaded the officials, these were all royal things, and if he said it according to strict regulations, it could barely be regarded as something that he could do as the king of Yueyang. And by the pillow of the Son of Heaven, there is an unspeakable demon woman who sleeps all the year round, so it is inevitable that there will be some pillow wind. Therefore, in the name of rebellion, you have to get by, and you have to do it.

This remark seems to be a strong word, but in fact there is some truth.

At first, there were still many literati and Confucian scholars who did not dare to agree, but on the third day after the Yizhou etiquette master said these remarks, he died violently at home for no reason, and he did not dare to agree, so he reluctantly agreed silently. After all, anyone can guess who did it...

Compared with the unpredictable emperor's heart in the north, the king's will in the south is much easier to guess.

Since the night banquet in Yingshui, the tens of millions of miles of territory in the southern region can be described as a magnificent landscape waiting to be rebuilt. In the cities and counties, the government buildings have been renovated one after another, the households have been registered, the fields and grain have been booked, the taxes have been reduced, the old system has been abolished, and the civil affairs have been issued. The post of county guard and supervisor was newly established, and the upper supervisor was a city guard, and the people's livelihood was inspected under the city, and the people's daily problems were managed. In every city and county, there are officers and soldiers patrolling the road during the day, and there are guards on duty at night, and the order is orderly, and the garrison is strict, and it is only half a month long, so that the green forest bandits and horse gang robbers in the entire southern region have a tendency to migrate to the north.

It can be said that the current southern region of the Tang Dynasty has begun to show signs of prosperity.

Among them, the heart of the Southern Regions, Yueyang City and its surrounding towns, are undergoing earth-shaking changes all the time.

Needless to say, Yueyang City is guarded by hundreds of thousands of heavy soldiers, as solid as iron and stone, and the walls of the four cities are more than ten zhang larger, and it is already a military fortress. Bitter is bitter at the beginning of those little people who escaped from Yueyang with a fluke mentality, as soon as they left, they did not come to Kyoto The battle report of the Emperor's southern expedition was not stopped, but the good news that the land price of Yueyang City skyrocketed dozens of times. However, for these people today, how can this good news be good news? In order to flee, they have already sold their wealth cheaply, and the first thing they sold was the mansion in Yueyang City. Looking back now, they were all repentant in their bowels. In desperation, he had no choice but to take the silver from the cheap sale of property and go to the city near Yueyang to buy another family business.

Who would have thought that when they walked to Xiangyang and other places, they suddenly found that the price of the land there had already risen from the ground, even more than Yueyang City in the past.

The people are bitter, it's really bitter...

Suffering is always played with in the palm of your hand.

Speaking of this, it is necessary to mention Xia Yuan. Because, if it weren't for him, there would be no price comparison in Xiangyang and other places. The common people will not have nowhere to talk about their suffering.

Xia Yuan was canonized by King Yueyang as the "Generalissimo of the Great Expedition" and commanded the three cities. He immediately incorporated large and small water thieves, bandits, and horse gangs within tens of thousands of miles in the vicinity, and in farther places, strongmen took the initiative to vote every day. Whether there are still some secrets that cannot be understood by outsiders still needs to be discussed.

All in all, Xia Yuan turned into a marshal overnight, and in a few days, he conjured up 100,000 lions from the sky out of thin air!

His ability to turn decay into magic really made many people watching the show lose their eyes.

Of course, there are many people who are still not optimistic about Xia Yuan, the ruffian marshal. After all, dogs can't change to eat, and those so-called "lions" that fell from the sky are not a good thing in the first place, and it may be more than enough for them to attack cities and seize land, kill people and set fires. However, let them put on military uniforms and enlist in the army to guard the city, that is simply the real invitation to robbers to come to the door. They are lucky not to rob your family of valuable belongings, how can you expect them to show you the door?

However, this time, Xia Yuan gave these people a big slap in the face.

Such as the hexagram of the great arithmetic master of Xianxing, although Xia Yuan is a ruffian, he has the talent of a hero, and he has a brush for governing the army and Anbang.

He sorted the 100,000 new army and stopped in three cities. Xiangyang is the horse army, Yuyang is the water army, Xianyang is the land army, and the new army of the three cities is all strictly organized. Two people in a team, six people in a team, set up a team leader. Six teams are pavilions, with pavilion chiefs. The six pavilions are the array, and the formation is the leader. And so on, and then set up three levels: battalion, town, and army, and supervise them at all levels, so as to sit and be held accountable.

And on the basis of the original military regulations, he set up three rules that are extremely flavorful:

First, below the formation, those who expose the crime of disturbing the people by their superiors, and the evidence is conclusive, are promoted to the first rank.

2. Below the battalion level, those who are exposed to the offender will be punished by the four commanders of the team, pavilion, formation, and battalion.

Three, above the town and army, those who do not follow the rules will be beheaded!

The formulation of the three rules is well in line with the strict military class and the characteristics of the people in the rivers and lakes.

Especially the first two, as long as you don't disturb the people and commit crimes, then everything is easy to say, you should go to the kiln to visit the kiln. It will not restrain people to the point that they have no freedom, but also can restrain the unruliness of the people in the rivers and lakes. Under the mutual restraint of these three rules and military ranks, since the day Xia Yuan set up the banner and took command, the number of cases of soldiers violating the ban in the three cities of Xiangyang, Yueyang, and Xianyang has been several times less than in the past few decades. Even half a month later, the prince in Yueyang City couldn't help but secretly transfer Xia Yuan's system to his military tent, and slightly called it a change. And now the new post of inspector in the cities and counties has evolved from this.

At this point, Xia Yuan's ability to take charge of the army is obvious to all.

After Xia Yuan's strength stabilized, the various branches of Pure Yang withdrew one after another, and most of the Daoists returned to their headquarters. After consultation with the "Righteous Path Alliance", a small number of people were transferred to the Pure Yang Temple, which was vacant by each city, and reopened the sect.

After this catastrophe, the 100 branches of the Pure Yang in the Southern Regions were finally barely twisted together. As for their grievances with King Yueyang, Xia Yuan and the eight deans of the Seven Star Academy should have also made great efforts. After all, after Yueyang's night banquet, looking back, everyone could see that King Yueyang was taking the banner of their Pure Yang people's blood sacrifice.

This kind of beam is not ordinary...

However, fortunately, after the fact, King Yueyang complied with the agreement with Xia Yuan, and returned all the bones of the deceased Chunyang disciples, and on the day of his burial, he personally led people to bring gold to worship with a reward, and the number of rituals was sufficient, and he barely suppressed the anger of the various branches of Chunyang. And Zhou Yuanshan also came to life under the rejuvenation of the magic hand of the Heavenly Sage. Although it hurts the heart vein, and the lifelong cultivation can only stop at the middle of the king realm, it is always good to survive, as long as there are him and Li Qingfeng, the two senior brothers who hold the sword vein, they can also suppress those Taoists who can't see the form clearly. After all, the current Pure Yang Branch of the Southern Regions can't be messed up anymore...

After asking the old people in Tianshan, Zhou Yuanshan was taken to the former site of Chunyang in Yueyang City by the deans of the Seven Star Academy, and the current "Zhengdao League" is taking care of him. Peony will go down the mountain every three to five days to check its pulse and send some decoctions, which can be described as the benevolence of the doctor. Of course, she also has a small abacus, every time she goes down the mountain, the peony girl will get a small watermelon, and Yu Qingfeng will run to Xiangyang City, saying that she wants to take the little watermelon to know more knowledge, and visit Uncle Yuan by the way. In fact, she just wanted to see if Xia Yuan had done anything out of the ordinary. Because, before Xia Xun left, he repeatedly told her not to let Xia Yuan come. Moreover, according to the current development of the situation in the Southern Regions, Peony was almost certain that Xia Yuan must have reached some kind of ulterior deal with the crouching tiger in Yueyang City. As for the content of the transaction, Peony has repeatedly knocked on the side to test Xia Yuan's tone, but the little girl's acting skills are really unbearable, and she can't act with true feelings.

In this regard, peony is also deeply powerless...

But it's okay if it's powerless, so it won't be boring.

Anyway, the situation in the Southern Regions is currently very good, except that after Xia Yuan went to Luoyang City to meet the woman of the dancer a few days ago, he became mysterious and secretive, and it is estimated that before Xia Xun came back from the national examination, he would not be able to make a moth. On weekdays, she accompanies the old man to chatter, teaches watermelon to read and write, and then goes out to explore Xia Yuan's mouth, and the peony girl's small life is also comfortable.

In her spare time, she can also stay in the boudoir and write a few shy letters, tie them to the small paws of the unparalleled little blue bird in the world, let it fly north, and build a small magpie bridge close at hand for the two little lovers who are tens of millions of miles apart. Sweet, that's good. Anyway, the birds fly fast, breathing for thousands of miles, and it doesn't take half a moment to go back and forth in the first few days, as if they were close to each other. Therefore, the suffering of the girl's lovesickness is not so bitter. If you have to say bitterness, you can only bitter the little blue bird who sent the letter. In just over a month, it sent more letters to the young couple than it had all the letters it had ever sent in his life combined. Fortunately, the bird can't speak, and fortunately, this is just a private matter between young lovers, and no one else knows about it. Otherwise, if the world knows that the people who have been killed in the past two days are actually using a thousand birds that even the big * machine dreams of running love letters for them, this will inevitably set off a wave of righteous indignation! No matter how bad it is, it will drop a sour sentence: The people in the city are really good at playing!

Hehe, it's just that they can play, who are the city people?

Spring goes to summer, and the sun is scorching.

The still water is as usual, and the waves are not alarmed.

The undercurrent lurking at the bottom of the water is like a flash in the pan, fleeting, and then sinking to the bottom.

The people standing by the river in the Southern Regions and watching the water situation seemed to smell something in the dark, and they were very cautious. It wasn't until the start date of the examination in Kyoto approached that the major forces in the Southern Regions successively announced the list of their own people going to Beijing to take the exam, and the announcement was concealed.

The so-called, ten years of refining and sharpening a sword, reading hard in the cold window to look at the gold list, who doesn't want to become famous and glorious?

In the world's big test, no force is an exception, and there can only be two places, which is undoubtedly cruel. But those who can stand out from the thousands of people in their respective families are undoubtedly the elite ladies of the younger generation. It is understandable that all major forces have hidden hearts.

It's just that, if you look at the list of national examiners newly posted by the government a few days ago, these government forces...

Where is it just Zangfeng?

Jiyang Gao clan - Gao Ju, Juedao - Mingluo Cliff, Haiguiliu - Le Geng, Tiefan Gate - Fang Qianyu, etc., are written on the list of several zhang's officials, all of them, almost all of them are thunderous names among the younger generation. The reason why it is thunderous is because these people have been famous for a long time.

The reason why they have been famous for a long time is because these people are old.

Such as Mingluo Cliff of the Absolute Sword Society, Le Geng and others who returned from the sea, they had already participated in the national examination once ten years ago, and now they are at least in their early thirties, or they have gone to various places to serve as officials, or they have stayed in the hospital, or galloped around the rivers and lakes, and they are no longer disciples of the academy. I never thought that for the sake of this year's national examination, the major forces in the Southern Regions actually tacitly put the old man of the previous session back on the table. can only say that they are really shameless enough to hide this edge.

As for why this is the case, according to the original words of a certain person in charge of the government in Anyang City, it is: The wind is shouting, and you are forced by the general trend! You don't want to think about the background, the situation, and the people who are going to this national examination? Even the crazy women of Chunyang Palace have gone to Beijing. If we really send some hairy boys over, it's hard to say whether we can enter Chang'an City or not, do you still want them to come back alive?
