At today's court meeting, I did not see His Majesty the Emperor.

After the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces retreated from the dynasty in embarrassment, Han Xuan, who was the head of the hundred officials, had to go to the celebrant to ask for an explanation for the hundred officials.

Now that Zhang Baisui, the palm print of the celebrant supervisor, is not there, Zhang Bao, the chief bingpen, came forward to greet him and whispered to this Han Xiangye: "The old love of the pavilion comes with me." ”

The two of them walked through the winding corridor of the celebrant and came to a side pavilion in the depths.

After the two of them sat down separately, Zhang Bao spoke: "I already know the intention of Han Ge Lao, but this fact is not something that we slaves and maids should say. ”

The white-haired Han Xuan asked slowly, "What is to say, and what is not to say?"

Zhang Bao smiled bitterly and was speechless.

Han Xuan asked again: "Zhang Bingbi doesn't dare to say it?"

Zhang Bao nodded slightly.

Han Xuan nodded and sighed lightly, "The old man knows, there is Lao Zhang Bingbi." ”

......

Xu Beiyou and his entourage stayed in Huzhou for about half a day, and then continued to set off for Shaanzhou.

Yu Kuang sent three warships to escort them through this waterway, the wind and waves were calm along the way, Xu Beiyou did not see half of the ships of Wei, after getting off the ship, there was a smooth post road, changed to take a carriage, Xu Beiyou and Xiao Zhinan were in the same carriage, Xu Beiyou lifted the curtain of the car, and saw that there was an extra team of cavalry behind the team, Xiao Zhinan, who was sitting next to him, explained softly: "Yu Kuang sent a team of cavalry to escort us to Shaanxi and take the post road. ”

Xu Beiyou lowered the curtain, put the sword box horizontally on his lap, and tapped his fingers lightly.

Xiao Zhinan said slowly: "When the grandfather fought the world, because he was located in the northwest and started in the northwest, the army led by him was also called the Northwest Army, after the grandfather entered the Central Plains, the Northwest Army was divided into three, in the early years, it was three major camps, and later it was disrupted and arranged separately, part of it followed the grandfather to the imperial capital, and became the Chinese army known as the forbidden army of the Son of Heaven today, and part of it stayed in the northwest, that is, Zhang Wuxi's left army, and part of it entered Shu and became the Shu army. As for the other two forbidden armies, the Northeast Forbidden Army was built on the old foundation of the Northeast Mu clan, and it has always been unclear with the Muwang, not to mention him, the composition of the Jiangnan Army is the most complicated, there are the Qizhou Sailors trained by Yang Bofu back then, and the remnants of the Sailors left by Lu Qian, which are already good and bad, and Xiao Jin went to Wei and took away some of the most elite sailors, and those who stayed behind were the old, weak, sick and disabled, plus the court has never paid attention to the sailors, so it has not recovered for so many years. ”

Xu Beiyou asked, "You are not optimistic about the war in Jiangnan either?"

Xiao Zhinan shook his head softly and said: "Although the water war can't be fought, the land war may not be without the strength of a battle, and it's hard to say now." The key now is when Sun Shaotang's Shu army will leave Shu and how it will leave Shu. ”

Xu Beiyou frowned and said: "The victory or defeat of Dongting Lake is undecided, whether the Shu army needs to go out of Shu is still two words." ”

Xiao Zhinan still shook his head: "It's okay if you don't fight in this battle, if you fight, you will definitely lose, Jiangnan can't be chaotic, so the Shu army must go out of Shu." ”

Xu Beiyou fell into deep thought.

Xiao Zhinan didn't continue this topic anymore, and instead said: "It's all said that the eighteenth floor of the Earth Immortal is how, you are now a great monk on the seventeenth floor of the Earth Immortal, and you will also tell me, the late student, about the scenery above the seventeenth floor." ”

Xu Beiyou came back to his senses from his contemplation and said: "My current realm is a little strange, such as the moon is cloudy and sunny, and it is like the ebb and flow of the tide, when the tide rises, it can reach the seventeenth floor of the earth immortal, and when the tide is low, there is only the fifteenth floor of the earth immortal, as for how to stabilize the realm, I don't have a very good way, maybe after getting the last sword Qingshuang of the twelve swords of the Sword Sect, there will be a change and a turnaround." ”

"As for the scenery above the seventeenth floor, it's not for my husband to boast, even if it's the scenery on the eighteenth floor, I've seen it, let alone the seventeenth floor. ”

Xiao Zhinan praised: "Amazing." ”

At this moment, there was a sudden noisy sound outside the car, Xu Beiyou lifted the curtain of the car again, and it was a mighty "long dragon", only to see countless refugees fleeing frantically along the post road, including many carriages of rich and noble families, dragging families with mouths, mighty and mighty.

Xiao Zhinan also looked at the gap set off by Xu Beiyou, and said with emotion: "Xing, the people are suffering, and the people are suffering, and the people are suffering." The most bitter in the world is the people, at this time Huzhou has not become a battlefield, the people of Huzhou have fled, in fact, it is not without reason, when Luo Zengxian got up, in Huzhou gathered a million troops, although it is known as a million army, in fact, the real battle division is not more than 10,000 people, the rest are the hungry people who are wrapped in it, every time there is a war, drive the hungry people to consume the enemy's arrows, fill the moat with flesh and blood, and kill and wound thousands of people at every turn. Later, Emperor Taizu conquered Shuzhou in the south, entered the lake from Shu, set up a camp in Jiangling here, and defeated Luo Zengxian, who actually stuffed hundreds of thousands of people into the city of Liangxiang, so that the city ran out of food. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Zhinan paused slightly, as if he was calming down, and then said slowly: "The outer city of the city, the food in the city is out of food, so a scene of human tragedy was staged, feeding on people, using bones as firewood, Luo Zengxian would rather die than surrender, and decided to drag the people of the city to be martyred for him, and in the end, the two Xiang almost turned into a ghost domain, how tragic this is." ”

Xiao Zhinan muttered: "After the city is finally broken, Luo Zengxian's million-strong army is only more than 100,000 left, and everyone is like a hungry ghost, making these two important military towns a dead city, that kind of tragic scene, I haven't seen it, but they have seen it with the Metropolitan Governor and Lan Xiangye, and I heard them say that the Abi Hell that the Buddhists say is nothing more than that, and this has also become a lingering nightmare town for all the people of Huzhou." ”

Xu Beiyou lowered the curtain and sighed lightly: "I see." ”

Xiao Zhinan said in a low voice: "So my father has always said that if the war can not be fought, it will not be fought, and it must be cautious when starting a war. ”

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of birdsong outside the car, Xiao Zhinan lifted the curtain of the car on his side, and a small luan bird instantly pierced into the car, stopping at Xiao Zhinan's outstretched fingers, Xiao Zhinan took off a jade slip from its feet, took out a secret letter from it, handed it to Xu Beiyou, and then stretched out his hand out of the window, letting this divine horse spirit creature flutter its wings and fly high.

Xu Beiyou roughly browsed the secret letter, and his face changed suddenly, "You guessed it, Xiao Jin and Mu Tang had colluded early, and the Northeast was also reversed, and the two of them played the banner of Jingnan together, wanting to 'clear the monarch's side, Yasukuni is difficult'." ”

Xiao Zhinan's face suddenly turned pale, and although he expected it, he still smiled miserably.

If it was just the Wei State and the grassland, Xiao Zhinan believed that the Great Qi Imperial Court, which was sitting on the world, could deal with it, but once the Shepherd King of the Northeast also joined it, and the three major vassal kings rebelled together, then Xiao Zhinan would also begin to doubt whether the Great Qi Imperial Court could survive this catastrophe.

Emperor Taizu ascended, and the first emperor died.

When the two emperors were alive, the world was peaceful, Xiao Jin, the king of Wei, did not dare to take a step out of Wei, and Lin Han, the king of Zhenbei, could only lead the grassland departments to Atami to avoid the cold every year.

Now after the two emperors left one after another, soon the Wei State entered Huzhou, the grassland went south to knock on the pass, and the Northeast Shepherd King turned the tables.

Xiao Zhinan clenched his fists, landed on his knees fiercely, and said word by word: "Jing is difficult, what kind of door is Jing difficult, what is Xiao Bai doing?"
