Huai Xin said: "King Rong himself has six sons, but the family of King Rong's wives was once the strongest army under the jurisdiction of Rong. A few years ago, King Rong personally led his troops to wipe out them and almost wiped them out...The name of Prince Rong is Badger Di. He is three years younger than his cousin Badger Xun. He looks very much like his mother, and it is said that since his mother died, he has often annoyed King Rong."

"Why did he do this?" Gu Ao had heard for a long time that there were often wars between the royal family of Rongdi and the descendants, but even so, Rongdi usually followed the usual practice and appointed the youngest son of the descendants as the heir.

"I heard that Badger Di was extremely indecisive, and the King of Rong often reprimanded him as an embarrassment. In addition, he was raised by his nanny. This nanny was a Han woman captured by the Rong people in the previous dynasty. She is the personal servant of Empress Xiaoren."

"Could it be that King Rong disliked him because he wanted to Sinicize?"

Huai Xin said: "I don't know about that, I've never heard that he has the heart of Sinicization. But the destruction of his mother's family must be the main reason for his disharmony with King Rong."

"The king of Rong promoted the deposed prince who returned to the army, does he have the intention of being more reserved? Does the king of Rong have no other sons to choose from?"

"The other five sons of King Rong were all born of female slaves. It is said that Queen Rong was domineering during his lifetime and regarded King Rong very closely. The tribes were afraid of the power of the descendants, so they only dared to sacrifice female slaves. After the queen died, King Rong accepted all the tribes. It is a pity that King Rong is old and has no children since then."

"So that's the case. The king of Rong promoted the abolished prince, let alone the various faults of the prince, just judging from the blood, maybe the king of Rong's move is intended for the Central Plains?"

"My father is also worried about this, saying that if King Rong chooses the abolished prince as his successor, he will definitely want to compete in the Central Plains."

The two talked and fell asleep on the couch together.

Waking up the next day, the two of them went to the camp outside the county town together, and after completing the battle formation a bit, they accepted the inspection by Huai Jinsong and Huai's mother, and Huai Jinsong commented: "Generally, it's okay. Huai Xin's mother saw it in her eyes, but thought: "Xiao Xin still wants to be perfect in everything she does. In the previous battle, even if there was a slight omission, he was unwilling to show it to others. Now that the Gu family boy has just arrived, he just roughly cares about it." After changing a few places, it will be used on the battlefield, which shows that he is a generalist who does not pay attention to details."

At the same time, under the guidance of Huai Jinsong, the ignorant of Dian has been learning martial arts for the past few days. Shi pointed to all kinds of weapons hanging on the wall, and said: "This place is full of top-grade famous weapons that are hard to find in the world. You pick one and I will give it to you."

Dian Bushi's eyes are full of excitement, how can he not see that these are first-class weapons, which are hard to come by?At this time, after hearing Huai Jinsong's speech, Dian Busu couldn't help himself, and immediately rubbed his fists with red face and red neck.

Huai Jinsong came to Gu Ao and said to Gu Ao: "Come with me."

"Yes."

Huai Jinsong walked up to a carved dagger surrounded by many weapons like stars arching the moon, and said: "I have heard Xiaoxin mention you many times, saying that you are determined to be in the world, and that you He is a rare talent in the world. I know that there are not many people in the world who can admire him. So now, I don't need to be an official in the county to arrest you. But there is one thing, you should treat it as the Huai family The Patriarch entrusts you, okay?"

Gu Ao stood respectfully and said, "But I wish to hear it."

Huai Jinsong sighed: "The Son of Heaven is seriously ill. In the future, swords and soldiers will inevitably face each other. If you have the opportunity to lead the army in the future, I hope you will remember these few words of mine."

Gu Ao nodded and took a step forward.

Huai Jinsong said: "The key to the world's troubles lies in the Rong people. In previous dynasties and generations, there were several masters of excellence, who didn't want to change the disadvantages of the family? It's a pity that they were restrained by the Rong people. Order the aristocratic family to fight bloody battles on the front line while cutting the aristocratic family's position in the rear? It is the foreign aggression of the Rong people that leads to more soldiers and brave generals in the world. The king is not the king, and the ministers are not ministers. I heard from Xiaoxin that you learned from Shan Yunzi, It is the law of ordering the chaos and ordering the world. Since you have come to Shangjun, let me say, to order the chaos and order the world, you must first stabilize the land of Rong, and the land of Rong must be settled first, in order to stabilize the world."

Gu Ao listened attentively, and at this moment he couldn't help asking: "I beg the Prefect Huai to give me some advice."

Huai Jinsong said with emotion: "I also went to visit the prefect Qiu of Yuyang County because of the construction of the canal. I was reprimanded by him before I woke up like a dream. He told me that our Shangjun and Yuyang County are all In the borderlands bordering the Rong, the two counties are completely different. It can be said that there is one military and one merchant, one area and one relaxation. He told me that the strength of the Rong people lies in the wandering grassland. Marriage, assimilation of the Rong people into the Han people, such a long-term force, the Rong people will become weaker in the future, and the situation in the world will be resolved. This is also reasonable..."

Gu Ao nodded and listened to Huai Jinsong's words.

"However, there is a big fallacy in this statement. I have seen many children born of intermarriage between Rong and Han. They can speak Rong dialect and Han dialect, can ride horses, and can read books. How do we know in the end that we assimilated them? It is not that they have learned etiquette and come to invade us? This is a big trouble, but it is also a big benefit; what Qiu Taishou did is not completely wrong. From now on, the pacification of the Rong land will not only lie in swords and soldiers, but also in commerce and intermarriage. As a matter of fact, I am the gatekeeper of the Central Plains. According to the gate of the world, the Huai family has resisted the army for generations, but now, I have resisted for a hundred years, but it is in vain..."

Gu Ao was a little moved: "Prefect Huai..."

"Xiaoxin's thoughts are too dense, and her health is not good. I don't know if she can take on this important task in the future... The matter of Rongdi will eventually be resolved." Huai Jinsong took off the delicate dagger with both hands and handed it to him In Gu Ao's hand: "This is the sword handed over by King You Xian, the king of beheading the army, when our ancestors fought against the army. It can help one or two—soldiers are sent out, and those who have plans are sent out.”

Gu Ao took the dagger with both hands, exerted a little force, revealing the cold light hidden in the scabbard, Gu Ao raised his eyes and looked at Huai Jinsong: "Prefect Huai, Gu Ao promises, if brother Huai fights against the army in the future, I will help."

"Okay..." Huai Jinsong nodded, reached out and patted Gu Ao's shoulder, and sighed, "Okay!"

At this time, Dian Bushi had already selected the weapon, took it from the weapon rack, tried it in his hand, and found it very good, then he came to Huai Jinsong and Gu Ao: "Prefect Huai, brother, look at this How about it?"

Huai Jinsong laughed: "This is an iron-moon double axe, weighing a hundred catties. It is called 'Iron Moon', because the iron in Rongdi is cold and bloodthirsty, so it can only be picked under the moon. All owned by a general, a few ruins, the boy has a good eye!"

Dian Buzhi was overjoyed and said, "Then you really gave it to me?"

Huai Jinsong smiled and nodded: "Is there still a fake? Take it!"

In this way, Gu Ao and Dian Bushi bid farewell to the Huai family in Shangjun, and embarked on the journey together with the Yu family trilogy.The next place to stay is from northeast to southwest. At the end of the horse's hoof, there is Julu County.

Along the way, Gu Ao has learned a lot about the world. The bloody traces of the predecessors that were condensed in the book, now follow Gu Ao's footsteps to step on every inch of land in the world, and all of them are vivid. stand up……

In today's world, internal and external troubles;

In the current world, many major issues are unresolved.

The scholars are not fair, the way of heaven is unfair;

The people are suffering, but God is not helping;

Private soldiers entrenched, no one can control;

The foreign aggression of the Rong people is still unresolved.

If anyone can solve the above four difficulties in one fell swoop, he will be able to stabilize the world; Gu Ao now has no possessions, only aspirations in his chest.At this time, he couldn't help thinking... If one day, if one day, if he could really use the search in Shanyun Academy to gather the strength of the refugees from all over the world... how to solve the above four difficulties?

Is it possible to make heaven fair and scholars peaceful?Can it make the common people happy and the world calm?Can the aristocratic family be uprooted and the land rights leveled?Can it completely solve the foreign troubles of the Rong people and bring the Rong land into the empire's territory?

The gathering of refugees is nothing more than having soldiers in their hands; how to use the soldiers that can shake the world to solve the above four problems is the key.

At this time, Gu Ao gradually had a clue...

Didn't he always think that he would like to come up with a name that would attract elites from all over the world?Hasn't he been planning all the time, is he willing to let this name command the admiration of the world?Didn't he always plan to hope that under this name, people with lofty ideals from all over the world will not be afraid to die for it?

If he can put forward a banner that covers solving the above four problems, then he will stand on the shoulders of the ancestors of Shanyun Academy and the peak accumulated by all the predecessors in the troubled times of more than 200 years... Only With such a commanding height, the refugees can be used to overlook the world.

By the way... I heard from Yu Junfan that Hanzhong County is conducting imperial examinations?That is an opportunity to level the common people; and Huaijia Shangjun and Qiujia Yuyang County, one strong and one soft, also have a lot of wisdom to solve the affairs of Rongdi... What I should do next is to come up with a way to bring They all unite...

Along the way until the end of the day, the three of them looked for posting stations everywhere, but found that they had entered Julu County. Not to mention the dilapidated roads along the way, even the supposed posting stations were all in disrepair and destroyed.Gu Ao had no choice but to make Dian Bushi spend the night in a roadside village with the money.

As a result, the villagers replied: "My lord, there is an order in the village, this village does not accept foreigners..."

Gu Ao wondered, "How could there be such a strange order?"

The villager was reluctant to say anything at first, but later more and more other villagers surrounded him, unable to withstand Gu Ao's questioning, finally an old man walked out of the crowd tremblingly, sighed: "... Get out of the way, I'll talk to this Pedestrians, tell me the whole story."

Gu Ao stepped forward to support him: "Please tell me."

The old man said: "It's a long story about the cause of this... Not long ago, a little ranger came to the village to buy grain, but I don't know who I heard it from. I found out that Wang Er and his family, their daughter was arrested. Lizheng snatched away and became a little girl. When the little ranger heard this, he was furious, and snatched the little girl back from Lizheng's house with a knife, and killed a guard guarding the gate. Unfortunately, the little ranger had just captured Wang's house. The daughter was sent home, but as soon as she went out, she was arrested by the guards sent by the county, and locked up in the dungeon two miles northeast of here... Later, this order was passed down in Luli."

"I see……"

"Now that you know, go quickly!" The old man waved his hand.

Looking at the backs of Gu Ao and his party leaving, the old man remained silent. At this time, the surrounding villagers all asked in surprise, "Uncle, how dare you say that?"

The old man bowed his back and walked away from the crowd silently with his cane on his hands.

But at this moment, Gu Ao, who didn't know Dian on the road, said: "I'll go to Lizheng to ask."

At this moment, Dian Bushi had an unknown fire in his chest, and thought: "These dog officials in the fish and meat village, what can I ask?"
