After leaving the valley, the prisoners thanked Yi Dan one after another. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

After a man thanked Yi Dan, he came to Ma Buwei's side again, and said: "General Ma, I am going south, and I will part ways with everyone here, first say goodbye to you, you have also suffered in the past few years, I hope to take good care of your health." ”

Ma Buwei took the man's hand and said, "Lord Wang, you have also suffered. We escaped like this, and we don't know where to go from here. ”

Lord Wang said: "I plan to go to Zhanbo to avoid the limelight first, and if the lord's attitude changes in the future, I will seek an opportunity to return to Daluo City." (Ancient Champa / Champa, i.e., present-day southern Vietnam)

Ma Buwei nodded and said, "So far, that's the only way to go." Try to take as little as possible, but be careful. ”

Lord Wang said: "Well, if you have any needs in the future, General Ma, as long as I, Wang Fushan, can do it, I will go to the soup and fight the fire." ”

Ma Buwei said: "The cage and prison can't break your determination to serve the country and the people, I appreciate a heroic like you, Lord Wang." I don't want to be able to work with a man with integrity like you in this life, and I won't be in vain in this life. ”

The prisoners, like Wang Fushan, said that they wanted to go to Zhanbo to take refuge for the time being. So after saying goodbye, they went south one after another.

Looking at the backs of everyone leaving, Ma Buwei sighed helplessly: "Hey, the last group of people in Annan also left." It seems that the general trend is irreversible. It's a pity. ”

Jiao Gongxian said: "Master, in such troubled times, it is not up to us to decide whether to leave or stay. You don't have to be too sad either. ”

"Well, not really. Ma Buwei shook his head helplessly.

At this time, Qiao'er came over and said to Yi Dan: "Miss Yi, we have come out, and these girls have said that they want to go home." Shall we say goodbye here?"

Yi Dan said: "It's okay, there are too many of us, the goal is too big, and we can't move." It's even better if you go separately. May I ask Miss Qiao'er, can they all find their own homes?"

"Well, they're all girls from around here, and they can find a home. Qiao'er said.

"Alright, let them go home. Let's leave it at that. Yi Dan said.

Qiao'er said to the other women, "Everyone, now that everyone is safe, let's all go home separately." ”

The women came to Yi Dan and knelt down in thanksgiving. Yi Dan was at a loss, and hurriedly reached out to help.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the matter is over, so go home quickly. ”

The women reluctantly looked back at Yi Dan and slowly disappeared from everyone's sight.

After the two groups of people dispersed, Yi Dan and the others continued to rush to the north.

At this time, the sun is already shining, and the four fields are bright. Ma Buwei said: "The light here is so good, how about we stop for a while and let me dry the books?"

Yi Dan: "Okay, after walking for so long, everyone is tired, so stop and dry the book and take a rest." ”

The horse did not untie the burden on his back for dismounting, but took out the wet paper in the burden and separated it, and spread it on the ground one by one.

Yi Dan, Jiao Gongxian, Du Qian and others all came forward to help, and everyone divided a small portion, spread it on the ground, and then pressed it with small stones.

At this time, Yi Dan saw a piece of paper that read: "Divide is chaotic, merge is safe, it is easy to disperse and difficult to gather..."

Yi Dan took the piece of paper and asked, "Senior Ma, is your article on the division and integration of the world all about the gathering and dispersion of the world?"

Ma Buwei said: "That's right, not only about gathering and dispersing. He also talked about the ins and outs of many places, past and present lives. Especially the land under your feet, I love it deeply. ”

"This land under my feet?" Yi Dan looked at Ma Buwei suspiciously, hoping to get more words from his mouth.

Ma Buwei continued: "Annan was originally a wild land that was inaccessible, and there was once a small country called Wenlang Country, and later the ancient Shu people went south to destroy Wenlang Country and establish Ouluo Kingdom. ”

Hearing this, Yi Dan hurriedly pointed to Du Gao and Du Qian's uncle and nephew and said, "Senior Ma, I know this." Look at these two, they are the descendants of the ancient Shu people. He has always lived in the Yangqiang Mountains. ”

Ma Bu was surprised and asked, "Is it?

Du Qian said: "That's right, my uncle and I are both the kings of ancient Shu, and for hundreds of years, we Yangqiang people have been living in Yangqiang Mountain. It has also been following the customs of the ancient Shu people and has not been integrated into the people of Annan. ”

Ma Buwei said: "In fact, the Shu people and the Han people are both after the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and they both belong to the remnants of Daxia, and the Dayu who controls the water is also from Shuzhong." Hey, now that more than a thousand years have passed since the Qin Dynasty, I hope you can see that if you are willing to integrate into the ordinary people of Annam, I believe that you will definitely live better than now. ”

Du Qian said: "We also want to integrate into the people of Annan, but we don't know how to make the people of Annan recognize us. After all, the people of Annam are all Han people who moved south from the north, and for thousands of years, their impression of our Yangqiang people is just backward barbarians. ”

Ma Buwei said: "As long as you can contribute to the country, you can quickly gain the approval of the people." ”

Du Qian said: "Thank you for the words of the old man Ma, I will remember it below." ”

Ma Buwei said: "The Ou Kingdom established here by the Shu people was later wiped out by Zhao Tuo, a general in the last years of the Qin Dynasty, and together with today's Southern Han Dynasty, it merged to establish a Nanyue State. ”

Yi Dan said: "I have heard this talk about this, and later the world was unified, and the Nanyue Kingdom was regained by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established three counties of Jiaozhi in Annam, including Jiaozhi County, Jiuzhen County and Rinan County, right?"

Ma Buwei said: "Not bad. When Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, the three counties of Jiaozhi were also in chaos. Later, the ancestor Ma aided the prince and led the army to recover Jiaozhi again, pacifying Lingnan and Qiongya, which laid the foundation for today's situation in Annan. ”

Yi Dan's eyes widened and asked, "Ancestor?"

Ma Buwei said: "Hey, I'm ashamed. The old man was also after Ma Yuangong. It's a pity that he is now a lost dog, and he is ashamed of his ancestors. ”

Yi Dan said: "General Ma Yuan is brave and invincible, he said, 'Men should die on the battlefield, only the horse leather shroud is returned'." What a heroic spirit this is, even I, a little woman, feel majestic and passionate when I hear this. I didn't expect that Senior Ma, you turned out to be General Ma Yuan, and it was really disrespectful and disrespectful to be here!"

Ma Buwei sighed deeply and said, "Hey, so what? It's a pity that it's all in the past." The old man looks at the trend of the world, and he must be together for a long time, and he must be divided for a long time. Although the Central Plains is in turmoil now, people are determined that it should not be many years before they will be reunited. It's just that this Annan, under the perennial instigation of the Qu clan, has lost people's hearts and no longer goes north. I'm afraid it's going to fall apart from now on. ”

Yi Dan asked, "Then, is there no way to save it?"

Ma Buwei said: "The previous old lord, that is, the father of the current lord Qu Hao, when he was young, he wanted to support the Tang Dynasty, since the year when Zhu Wen usurped the Tang Dynasty, he happened to inherit the throne of the Jiedu envoy. In Annan, he paid light taxes, worked hard, and wanted to enter the Central Plains and unify the world. However, the world is in turmoil and people's hearts are scattered, and this wish cannot be realized at all, and it can also end with hatred. Today's new lord only wants to be in a corner and be a soil emperor. He instigated his subordinates to openly and covertly spread remarks against the north in Annanbai. The minds of the common people have always been very simple, and the rulers believe whatever they say. I never think about whether it's right or wrong. ”

Yi Dan asked, "What about the current situation?" Senior Ma, do you still want to continue to work hard for your wishes?"

Ma Buwei said: "I have also worked hard before, but it is a mantis arm as a car, a drop in the bucket." The situation is already like this, and manpower is irretrievable. Now that Qu Chengmei is making such a fuss, the people of Annan have lost the foundation of reunification, and they are completely powerless. At least I'll never see it again in my life. Therefore, I want to leave this book "The Theory of the Division and Integration of the World" to future generations, so that future generations can think and ponder what the world should be like and be the best senior sister. Speaking of which, Ma Buwei was embarrassed by the slightest sadness in his eyes, which was difficult to hide.

Yi Dan comforted: "Senior Ma, don't be too sad. As you say in this book, it is not uncommon for the world to divide and merge. Maybe we will be able to get together again soon, so please don't carry too much baggage, after all, you didn't cause all this. ”

Ma Buwei said: "You don't understand, but this time is different." In the past, the land was lost, and it was taken back in a war. And this time what we lost was the hearts of the people, and once the hearts of the people were lost, they could never be regained. ”

Yi Dan asked, "Why do you lose people's hearts?"

Ma Buwei said: "Now the people of Annan believe the words of the lord, saying that the north has been oppressing and exploiting Annan for thousands of years. Tell the story of the Central Plains as a group of insatiable, unrestrained locusts. Therefore, the people of Annam are now very disgusted with the Central Plains. Under such seemingly unassailable rumors, the foundation of popular support has been lost. No matter how hard you try, you can't get it back. ”

Yi Dan said: "Then may I ask if this is actually the case?"

Ma Buwei said: "Although during the Tang Dynasty, there were occasional tyrants such as Qu Lan (who was the protector of Annan during the Tang Dynasty, lost the hearts of the people with greed and was killed by Si Qi Ganmeng), but it was only personal moral corruption. The court had negligence, but it was not intentional. However, since the conquest of the Han Dynasty, Annam has always been under the rule of the Central Plains, and most of the people here are also Han people who moved south. Everything in Annan today belongs to the billions of Li people in China, and it is a matter of course for the imperial court to collect money and grain and send troops to protect the people. I don't know why it comes out of their mouths and it becomes so unbearable. Some people deliberately created malicious hostility in order to disintegrate the identification of the people of Annam with the Central Plains and satisfy his ugly desire to divide the world and dominate one side. ”

Yi Dan listened to Ma Buwei's words, nodded and said, "Senior Ma, there was once an old gentleman who admired him very much, and he said a word to him. He said that all the greed and selfishness in this world is because of power. He said that many people in the world do not hesitate to sell their cities, cede land, and even take the lives of tens of millions of people as their own weight on the chessboard for the sake of power, and no one will really stand in the position of the people and think about them. Regardless of rise or fall, it is always the people who suffer. ”

Ma Buwei nodded, and said in surprise: "Girl, you said very well, the old man thinks about it, and this is also the truth." There are some people in this world, for the sake of their own power, glory and wealth, and they do not hesitate to tie up the fate of the entire country and thousands of people to gamble. Whatever the outcome, it is the innocent people who are unlucky in the end. ”

Yi Dan said: "That's right, if they win the bet, they will step on the heads of the people, command their arrogance, and show off their might." If you lose the gamble, you will take the looted gold and silver treasures and go away, and you can still live a happy life. This is the power drama that only a few are qualified to play, and most people simply do not hear of it. But without knowing it, he became someone else's pawn, and was played and applauded by others, and he didn't know it all his life. ”

Ma Buwei said: "That's why I wrote this "Theory of the Division and Integration of the World", just to warn future generations to take history as a mirror and not to fall into the quagmire of chaos in the world again." ”

Yi Dan asked puzzledly: "Senior Ma, I have a little question in my heart, I don't know whether to talk about it." ”

Ma Buwei said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Yi Dan said: "Since it is common for the world to divide and merge, why are there so many, such as the predecessors of you, the chivalrous warriors of the country, looking forward to the unification of the world and the return to 369 and so on?"

Ma Buwei said: "Things in the world are not perfect. We can strive to change the distinction between three, six, nine, and so on, but if a person's life safety is not guaranteed at the very least, how can we talk about changing anything? Since ancient times, we Tang people have been based on farming, so we must have a stable and peaceful world in order to sow in spring and harvest in autumn, and to live and reproduce. It is no better than the grassland shepherd, catching up with cattle and sheep, and can survive wherever they go. Therefore, when the world is in turmoil, the people will have no way to live. ”

Yi Dan nodded again and again: "Listening to the words of Senior Ma, it is like seeing the sun through the clouds." Senior Ma, you are right, once we people who are based on farming encounter war, the losses we will suffer will be much more serious than those who are mainly fishing, hunting, nomadic herding and commerce. They can range from displacement to death by freezing and starvation. ”

Ma Buwei said: "It seems that the girl is also a person who has experienced hardships and understands what the old man is saying." It's really rare that you are so young, a woman, that you can understand such a truth, and the old man is very pleased. You have to remember the old man's words, no matter at any time, you must put your family and country first. Girl, you are a person who practices martial arts, I see that you have quite high attainments, if you can take the unification of the world and the stability of the people as your own responsibility in the future, I believe you will be able to make a difference. ”

Yi Dan said: "Senior Ma, you are laughing, I am a woman, how can I have such ability?"

Ma Buwei said: "Don't be kind and small, don't do it." As long as you work hard to bring together those who are capable and guide them all in this direction, I believe that great things will naturally become successful. ”

Yi Dan said: "You mean that I can work hard to make this happen?"

Ma Buwei said: "That's right. One person's power is small, but if you use your own power to influence and guide others, things will slowly change. Hey, I'm afraid I won't see that day in my life, I hope that you, the capable younger generations, can take on this responsibility and inherit the unfulfilled wishes of the previous generations. ”

At this time, Jiao Gongxian came over and helped Ma Buwei put away the dried paper. While collecting the paper, he comforted: "Master, please don't be too sad, the disciple promised you that I will work hard in the future to fulfill your wishes, so that the people of Annan will no longer be led away by others." ”

Ma Buwei looked at Jiao Gongxian suspiciously: "You, I think it's better to forget it." You were brought up by me, and I know you too well. You can practice martial arts, but when it comes to power struggle, you are certainly not an opponent of those who are insidious and cunning. You are kind-hearted, you don't understand the dark truth of officialdom, you must stay away from those ugly battles in the future, and be a responsible person in a down-to-earth manner, so that you can spend your life in peace, do you remember my words?"

Jiao Gongxian said: "Oh, the disciple remembers. ”

Ma Buwei put away the last few pieces of paper on the ground and said, "Okay, the book is also dry, let's continue to hurry, that organ can't trap Zhen Zhen for too long." ”

"Okay, let's pack up our things and let's go. Yi Dan stood up and said to everyone. (To be continued.) )
