Chapter 1008 Visible images fly far away, silent giant dream rolls the world of mortals
The river wind is warm, colorful flags are flying, and the summer sun has a clear atmosphere.On the south bank of the Han River on April 25th, there were bustling crowds crossing mountains and ridges, and gathered towards the small county town on the bank of the river.

Young and strong in ragged clothes, trembling old man, children following their parents, scholars, soldiers, beggars... At this moment, they are moving in the same direction. The mountains are rolling on the way, and the green world is full of vitality. Some people even beat drums and gongs on both sides of the road, and a few thin scholars met and pointed out the surrounding scene, which was a very lively scene.

The convenience in front is Xicheng County, where Dai Mengwei's family lives.

In a small county where only 3 to 15 people lived, the current crowd has reached as many as [-], and soldiers from all over the country must be counted among them.Xicheng County had just suppressed a "rebellion" before, and the war continued, and even the massacre and disposal of the "rebels" in the east of the city had just begun, and a large number of civilians gathered in the south of the county seat, which made people feel anxious for a while. This small county town, which was originally considered beautiful, now has a bustling scene of a big city.

Most of the civilians gathered at this time came to thank Dai Mengwei for his kindness in life. People sent silk banners, plaques, and held up umbrellas to thank Dai Mengwei for his kindness to the entire Han people in the world.

Xicheng County is not big, Dai Mengwei is old, and there are not many people who can meet with him, so the people chose the respected and respected old man as a representative, and sent in the things of gratitude that they put their hearts on.Outside the city gate in the south, people who couldn't enter the city gathered on the grass slopes and mountains, dragged their children, and knelt down in the direction of Dai's mansion in the city.

In the past one or two years of looting and fighting by the Jurchen West Route Army, many cities have been designated as their own territory, and a large number of peasants, craftsmen, and attractive women have been imprisoned in these cities. The purpose of doing so is natural It is to take it away with you when you withdraw to the north.With the loss of the Southwest War, Dai Mengwei made a deal to take back the "ownership" of these people.In the past few days, news that they will be released and that they will receive certain subsidies has spread throughout the towns south of the Yangtze River, and public opinion has begun to ferment under deliberate control.

The Jurchens have been killed all the way, if all goes well, only hundreds of thousands of people can be brought back to the north, but these people are not the only ones affected by the war.A large number of cities were under the control of the Han army after the war raged, and the Han army returned to the Jurchens. It is not an exaggeration to say that they were under the rule of the Jurchens.The Jurchens were defeated in the war and returned to the north in a panic. People cannot be taken away, but it is very possible to set fire to or have a massacre on those who cannot be taken away.

At this time, it was the elderly Dai Mengwei and Master Dai who stood up and presented their rights and interests face-to-face with the Jurchen Valley God. In the end, not only were all the people saved, but even the food, grass and supplies that the Jurchen could not take away were not destroyed, but were all handed over to the In Dai Mengwei's hands.In this way, after everyone is released, they can even keep some items and resume their lives.This kind of kindness, in the south of the Yangtze River, it is not an exaggeration to say that thousands of families have Buddhas, and it is even enough to say that it is the work of a saint.

Among such actions, the correctness of some of them is debatable. For example, there are tens of thousands of black flag bandits who are also anti-gold, but at this time they were calculated by Dai Mengwei and became bargaining chips in the transaction. For people who have spent more than a year in distress, such blemishes are insignificant.

In their panic and fear, people thought that whoever defeated the Jurchen was a hero, but now that Dai Mengwei was rescued, they immediately felt that Dai Mengwei was still able to persist in opposing the black flag at this time. Wrong, if the black flag didn't kill the emperor, why would the Wu Dynasty come to this point? If they forgot their past mistakes because they resisted the Jurchen, what is the integrity of our generation?

It has been a few days since Xi Yin handed over the control of the population, supplies, and the Han army on the south bank of the Yangtze River to Dai Mengwei. Although the generals of each army have their own ideas, at the moment, they cannot help but be impressed by Dai Mengwei's generosity.Theoretically speaking, this ruthless old man who turned his hands into clouds and rain in a calm manner must be one of the most important centers of power in the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, the publicity and arrangements in the first few days, Everyone also tried their best to establish the image of this saint with a wave of messages.

People from all over the world were worried that they would be massacred and taken to the north by the Jurchens. When they heard that the Southwest War was defeated, they did not feel relieved, but the fear in their hearts was even worse. At this time, they finally got rid of this terrible shadow and heard It is said that there will even be materials returned in the future, and the government will help restore people's livelihood, and the feelings in my heart are beyond words.Places that are farther away from Xicheng County may be slower to respond, but the residents of the two nearby big cities rushed towards Xicheng County, blocking the small county town.

There are also a large number of down-and-out Confucian scholars gathered here, first to thank Dai Mengwei for his kindness, and second, to take this opportunity to give advice and sell what they have learned.

Dai Mengwei's reputation was not good in the past, but now his actions are known all over the world, and he will naturally follow him from all over the world. If he came earlier, he might be appreciated by him, and he can be a master of the dragon.

These things have just begun, and Dai Mengwei has not stopped the gathering of the people.He just ordered Fangfang Erlang to open a granary, and set up a porridge shop outside the city, trying to let the people who came here have a meal before leaving. On the surface, the old man doesn't meet many outsiders every day, just according to his old habits , in Dai's private school, he taught for half a day every day, and the Confucian integrity and character were passed on to the outside world, which is heartbreaking.

On the 25th, although the "rebels" in the east of the city had already started to kill, the county town was still lively and peaceful. In the morning, a funeral was held in the back mountain of Dai's house. The burial of the children of the Dai family who died in the second major operation, after being buried, the old man began to give lectures in front of the grave, and all the children of the Dai family and clan members knelt nearby and listened respectfully.

The mountain breeze was refreshing, but there was only black smoke floating in the sky east of the county seat in the distance. It was the smoke and dust that rose when the bodies of the rebels were burned.The scene and atmosphere of the two deaths were strangely combined, and the old man also followed this scene and began to talk about the general trend of the world, occasionally mentioning the exposition in "The Analects of Confucius", and then extended to "Tao De", and began to talk about "Soldiers, murder weapons Also, the sage has to use it as a last resort".

Everyone bowed their heads and listened.

When the lesson was almost finished, a steward came over and whispered some news to Dai Mengwei.Dai Meng nodded slightly, let the crowd disperse on their own, and then walked towards Zhuangzi. Not long after, he saw a lightly dressed big man, Liu Guangshi, in the yard of Dai's study.

Liu Guangshi bowed to Dai Mengwei, and Dai Mengwei also bowed back: "Unexpectedly, Mr. Liu came here in person."

"How can such a major matter be handled by the subordinates. Moreover, if you don't come here in person, how can you see with your own eyes the grand occasion of Duke Dai living with millions of people and the hearts of the people?" Liu Guangshi's tone was low, natural and sincere, "The West Route Army of the Kingdom of Jin was defeated and returned to the north. If it weren't for Dai Gong, there would be no such way to deal with the matter of millions of lives and food and grass. Dai Gong is so righteous, and I will be worshiped by my nephew."

"Liu Gong's words are serious." Dai Mengwei supported him, "The old man's withered body is powerless to resist the enemy, but he just took advantage of a loophole and tried his best. The tricks can't last long. In the future, there will be turmoil in the world. It needs a soldier like Mr. Liu to support it. But today, everything is burnt out and life cannot continue. If there is no way to innovate, it will be delayed for three or five years like an old man, and it will be nothing more than drinking poison to quench thirst."

"Dai Gong's words are very true." Liu Guangshi nodded, "The same is true of Liu's worries in recent years. In troubled times, military prosperity and cultural decline, in order to fight Jurchens, we have to rely on those military laws and bandits, but these people are not educated. , vulgar and unspeakable, entrenched in one place and devoured the people, never thinking about the well-being of the people, adding chaos to chaos, Mr. Dai... There are too few scholars like Mr. Dai who are willing to stand up for Wei Tianxia. "

"Liu Gong is absurd."

"Mr. Dai deserves it." Liu Guangshi complimented, looked at Dai Mengwei's unmoved old face, and sighed, "Come back to business, Mr. Dai, Ning Liheng has been killed from Jiange, or there are still a few days left Only then can we reach Hanzhong... how is the battle going on in Hanzhong, can we see the clues?"

"The battlefield in Hanzhong was in chaos under the command of Nianhan. The evening before yesterday, Xi Yin rushed to the outside of Hanzhong city. The battle started yesterday. Based on the situation in the previous battle in Hanzhong, it may not be easy to tell the winner. Qin Shaoqian Although the [-] elite soldiers in the army are strong, Nian Han and Xi Yin are all heroes for a while, and the outcome of this battle is unpredictable...Of course, the old man does not understand military affairs, so this judgment may not be heard by the Fang family. How about the specifics, Mr. Liu You should see more clearly than an old man."

The Hanzhong decisive battle between Jin Guo and the Black Banner Seventh Army attracted the attention of the whole world. Liu Guangshi must have arranged for spies to pass back information at any time, but he left secretly and came to Xicheng County. The feedback of information must not be as good as Dai Mengwei and others nearby People are quick.After saying a few words like this, Dai Mengwei asked someone to fetch the recent information and handed it over to Liu Guangshi, who watched it in detail in the room.

It was noon, the sun was shining in the courtyard outside, but there was a breeze in the room. The well-dressed servant came in to refill the tea, and he couldn't help but sized up the majestic and steady guest with curious eyes.

Although the Dai family used to be an aristocratic family with strict family education, when it comes to levels, it only affected a few small counties nearby. That is, in the past few days, the actions of the head of the family shocked the world. Agreements, setting out the banner to fight against the black flag, won the support of all parties, and all parties came to the DPRK.Although the servants of the mansion have received strict orders and their attitude has improved, they still cannot help but be shocked by the identity of the guests who came secretly in the past few days.

This Liu Guangshi, General Liu, was one of the best generals and figures in the world in the past, and now it is said that he has mastered a large area of ​​land. On the surface, he is guarding the land for the Wu Dynasty. In front of his master, he actually came to the door in person to visit and negotiate.Those who know the matter are shocked and honored.

Liu Guangshi read Dai Mengwei's information in detail and took a sip of tea.In the past few days, the battle in Hanzhong was so intense that even Nian Han and Xi Yin could hardly grasp the whole picture, and the news that some spies who were probing around became even more confusing.On the way here, Liu Guangshi received some information, and compared it with Liu's information, he knew that the detailed information was not reliable, only the general direction, and one or two could be speculated.

"Nianhan and Xiyin lead the army. The Jin Kingdom has more than [-] troops, including Tu Shanwei. Qin Shaoqian's troops are only [-]. In the past, I would have found it hard to believe that they could fight face to face, but in the end... When the stalemate is over, Qin Shaoqian... oh..."

Liu Guangshi sighed. What he thought of was Qin Yuyuan, Qin Shaohe, and Qin Shaoqian from more than ten years ago. At that time, Qin Yuyuan was a formidable figure with tact and tact, who could wrestle with Cai Jing and Tong Guan. Qin Shaohe inherited Qin Yuyuan. However, Qin Shaoqian, as the second son of the Qin family, has nothing to highlight except his violent and straightforward personality, but he never thought that Qin Yuyuan , Qin Shaohe and Qin Shaohe died more than ten years later, this son of the Qin family who followed the path of a military general pressed Nianhan to the front to fight.

More than a year ago, the West Route Army of the Kingdom of Jin attacked the Jingxiang defense line, and Liu Guangshi supervised the battle at the front line, especially knowing the power of Tu Shanwei.Corruption was rampant within the army of the Wu Dynasty, and the relationship was intricate. The children of Liu Guangshi and other aristocratic families knew it best. Lose more and win less.Liu Guangshi couldn't help sighing, Yue Fei's youthful vigor was not tactful enough, he often thought, if the same resources and trust were placed on him... Maybe Jing Xiang would have kept it.

Of course, this kind of thing can only be thought about and cannot be said, but because of this, he understands how powerful the Beiwei Army is, and also understands how powerful Tu Shanwei is.At this moment, it is difficult to figure out what kind of powerful Qin Shaoqian's Seventh Chinese Army is based on the specific information.

"...The root cause of the strength of the Huaxia Army is still Mr. Southwest Ning. The Wangyuan Bridge broke through [-] with [-], and Yan Xiebao was cut off. Nianhan's courage was frightened, and the West Route Army turned around. He retreated, and now he killed Ba Lisu and came out of the Jiange, whether it was Nianhan or Xiyin, he definitely didn't want to confront him at this time. Nianhan fought chaotically, he was a tired soldier without confidence in a decisive battle. Delay is a strategy, but the delay is only for the decisive battle. Since Xi Yin arrives, he must seek to complete the battle as soon as possible. Qin Shaoqian used his troops violently, almost stubbornly, and I am afraid that he will also meet him head-on..."

Liu Guangshi analyzed it: "Dai Gong's words are correct. In Liu's view, this war will also have a result within a few days... Nianhan's [-], Qin's [-], and the demons are not here. It can only be a loss for both sides, the question is how hard to fight, or when to choose to stop."

"Liu Gong thinks that he will stop?"

"Nianhan and Xiyin command an army of [-]. Of course they hope to destroy Qin Shaoqian in the first battle, but judging from the previous news, the strength of Qin Shaoqian's army is really shocking. Based on Qin Shaoqian's thinking, I am afraid that he also hopes to kill Nianhan, Xi Yin, but I think so, who are Nianhan and Xiyin? Even though Qin Shaoqian is a hero with a perfect face and a bone, Nianhan is not the Emperor Tianzuo before he arrived at the guard... This battle is extremely tragic. In my opinion, the two sides used Hanzhong as the battlefield and entangled for several days. If Nianhan and Qin Shaoqian survived, the two sides would gradually leave the battle and lose both. The army can push Nianhan to this level, there is no one in this world who can fight against him."

They are all people who have seen countless great worlds. Although Liu Guangshi said that the Seventh Chinese Army is invincible, his tone is still calm. After all, the general trend of the world cannot be controlled by one or two invincible armies. The strength of the world changes. It is often not clear in a few words.Dai Mengwei's face was slightly sad, and he nodded: "As the princes in Beijing said, this Huaxia army is strong and fragile, and they can't be defended for a long time. They will save a lot of trouble."

His tone was flat, slightly sarcastic, and Liu Guangshi smiled slightly: "What do you think, Mr. Dai?"

"The old man is not so optimistic. The Huaxia Army is rising like the sun and forging ahead. It is admirable. Ning Rentu is also like Wanyan Aguda. He can be called a generation of outstanding people... It's just that his path is too radical. The stronger the Huaxia Army, the better the world It will be longer in this turmoil. Today, the world has been in turmoil for more than ten years. I have tens of millions of Han people in the Central Plains and Jiangnan. The Chinese army is so aggressive. If they want to destroy Confucianism, there will be hundreds of millions of deaths in this world. I am afraid that this chaos will not be quelled... ...Since this old man knows this truth, he has no choice but to stand up and prevent this catastrophe."

Liu Guangshi was slightly puzzled: "I hope Duke Dai will explain it in detail."

Dai Mengwei roughly recounted what he and Xi Yin said that day, and Liu Guangshi got up and bowed again: "Today I know that the great sage is here. Compared with Dai Gong's heart, the capital city is just a clown... ..."

Faced with the substantial rise of the Huaxia Army, the method of confrontation chosen by Wu Qimei and others in the capital is to piece together reasons to explain the harm the Huaxia Army has done to the big clans, aristocratic families, and separatist forces in various places. Those remarks can certainly confuse some people, but in Liu Guangshi and others In the face of big forces, Wu Qimei's piecing together of arguments and instigating others seems to be more or less eloquent and weak.It's just that the enemy is facing the same enemy, and people will naturally not refute it.

Relatively speaking, Dai Mengwei's words at this time, starting with the overall situation, are really strategic and full of persuasiveness.The Huaxia Army's extermination of Confucianism can be regarded as a joke in the past. If it is really carried out, the series of actions of killing the king and destroying Confucianism will cause chaos in the world, which is the result that anyone with a little knowledge can see.Now that the Huaxia Army has defeated the Jurchen, such a result is imminent. Dai Mengwei's words are equivalent to setting the program and starting point for opposing the Black Banner Army at the highest level.

With Liu Guangshi's knowledge, it is natural to understand that many big clans just go along with the flow and pretend to believe the words of the capital, but when Dai Mengwei's words are spread, knowledgeable people from all over the world will truly believe them and have a sense of mission of.

He complimented Dai Mengwei, and had already considered many operations in his mind, and immediately confessed to Dai Mengwei: "To tell you the truth, Dai Gong, in the past month or so, I saw the Jin Kingdom's West Route Army retreating northward, and the Huaxia Army's momentum was overwhelming. My nephew and my subordinates The leaders of all parties have also had various plans, and they came here today to confess to Duke Dai one by one and ask for advice... In fact, the world is in turmoil, and how much we can save in the Wu Dynasty depends on the present..."

He immediately connected the various families together, and confessed to Dai Mengwei one by one about his plan to cross Jingxiang and Bianliang, and some of the participants were also one of the warlords who "loyalty" to Dai Mengwei at this time.Now that the situation in the world is so chaotic, seeing that the black flag is about to rise, the positions of Liu and Dai can be regarded as the side of the black flag's couch, and the reason for joining forces is very sufficient.

What's more, Liu Guangshi is proficient in military affairs, but he lacks the most professional framework and vision for the structure of literature. In the future situation, even if Bianliang can be recovered, he can only construct a single sentence, but he cannot construct a relative A healthy small imperial court; Dai Mengwei has meticulousness in writing and a vision of the overall situation, but the binding force on the subordinate generals is still not enough, and it just needs the participation and balance of collaborators.

Liu Guangshi confessed frankly that although Dai Mengwei's expression remained unchanged, he immediately confided his thoughts to Liu Guangshi.In the past, the Wu Dynasty was corrupt, and all kinds of relationships were intertwined, so that civil servants and military generals tended to decay. At this moment, when the enemy is in front of us, it is true that all parties must talk about their interests, but it is also time to break up and build up. For the Lu warlords and generals, they have just experienced the shadow of the golden man and the black flag, and they will not ask too much. It is time to clear up military discipline, reform the military system, and strengthen management.

As for the civil servant system, the old framework is now in disarray, and it is time to take advantage of the opportunity to promote the imperial examination and promote poor families.Opportunities like this in all dynasties were only available when the country was founded. Although it is necessary to win over powerful families from all over the country, there are many vacant positions, and it is easy to reach a consensus if a strong enemy is in front. The vigorous new Wu Dynasty is worth looking forward to.

Dai Mengwei has made great preparations for this change, which is what the people want now.Liu Guangshi was overjoyed when he communicated with him.It was noon at this time, and Dai Mengwei ordered his servants to prepare dishes and drinks. The two continued to talk while eating. There is an army of more than [-] people who is still besieged nearby. No matter what the situation in Hanzhong is, when the Jurchen retreats, the habit of blaming the black flag with black flags will be retribution. I am afraid that I will not give up with Dai Gongshan. Regarding this matter, Dai Gong can deal with it Fa?"

Dai Mengwei just smiled calmly: "If that's the case, the old man is eagerly waiting for him to kill, so that the world can see how good this Huaxia Army is."

He rescued "millions of people" from the Jurchens, and now his momentum has risen. Regarding the possibility of revenge from the Huaxia Army, he is just generous and respectful, and he regards death as home.Liu Guangshi shook his head quickly: "Hey, it can't be like this. Duke Dai is the hope of the world. In the future, everything in this world will be inseparable from Duke Dai. Duke Dai must not be so arrogant. This matter should be discussed in the long term."

Dai Mengwei said: "Let him come, it's okay."

The two then discussed the various details after the union.After noon, it was Wei time. At three quarters before noon, the information from Hanzhong arrived.

The moment he received the information, Dai Mengwei's city mansion also couldn't help changing his face. He confirmed the information twice, his hands trembling slightly, looked at the scout who sent the message, and then at Liu Guangshi beside him, It took a long time before he took a long breath: "I never expected that one day, this old man would actually hope that the Jurchens..."

When he said this, his lips trembled and he didn't continue. He handed over the information to Liu Guangshi. Liu Guangshi glanced at the scout: "...Really?"

In terms of time, the scout came too fast. This kind of first-hand information, without time confirmation, is very likely to be reversed.That information is not really bad news, after all, both parties involved in the war are enemies to them, but the meaning of such information to the whole world is really too heavy, and the meaning to them is also heavy and complicated.

On April 24, the Jurchen West Route Army and the Seventh Chinese Army fought a decisive battle outside Hanzhong City. On the afternoon of the same day, Qin Shaoqian led more than [-] main forces of the Seventh Army and defeated the main force of Nianhan head-on near Tuanshan, fifteen miles west of Hanzhong City. Han fled to Hanzhong, Qin Shaoqian chased him with his tail, and Wanyan, the son of Zhan Nianhan, was also on the way. When the news was sent out, the war was raging in Hanzhong, and the Jurchen West Route Army with [-] troops was almost completely collapsed...

too fast.

Liu Guangshi's mind was buzzing, he couldn't notice too many details at the moment, for example, this was the first time in decades that Nianhan was killed and fled in such a panic, for example, Nianhan's two sons had died Beheaded by the Huaxia Army in front of the battle, for example, the Jurchen West Route Army came in mighty force, and was defeated like a mountain, what will happen to the world... For the time being, there is only one sentence in his mind, "too fast", just now The impassioned and half-day discussion became dull for a while.

Dai Mengwei's mind was also a little empty.

The sun was shining outside the courtyard, and there were birds chirping. Everything seemed to have remained the same, but it seemed to have changed in the blink of an eye.The past, present, and future are all new things.

The two were silent in the hall, and the servants walked around outside. The crowds in Xicheng County were still bustling with scholars pointing and discussing, and the crowds kowtowing outside the county town were still full of mountains and valleys.The news of the world's change is exploding on the hidden side of the world, and many people don't know what happened...

……

"Mr. Dai..."

At some point, Liu Guangshi stood up and wanted to speak...
