On the road westward outside Bianliang City, the burly and majestic Lu Da bid farewell to his master with tears and said goodbye to his uncle Lu Yan.

After six years of hard work, the 21-year-old Lu Da only needs to go to the battlefield to hone the essence of his martial arts, and joining the army to serve the country and kill the enemy was also his wish. Therefore, it was finally the day when he reluctantly left his master.

After that, Lu Da would go straight to Yanzhou and join the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty.

In fact, there was no official title in the army organization of the Song Dynasty called "Western Army", only the imperial guards and the wing army. In principle, the so-called Western troops still belong to the category of imperial guards.

At the beginning, the imperial guards would take turns to the border to fight or change defenses, but over time, the nobles who could conquer and fight during the founding period gradually grew old. The second generation of the great Song Dynasty honored their father's business and became the commander and backbone of the imperial guards.

officer.

Like all dynasties, the second generation of honor is not as good as their fathers, but in other dynasties, fresh blood is always replenished, and famous generals are constantly emerging. However, because of the extreme promotion of literature and military affairs, the status of military generals is low, and the national temperament gradually changes.

Being feminine, people generally lose their enthusiasm for practicing martial arts and joining the army.

Only the second generation of honor who can't do it, but they can't bear the hardships. They all like to stay in the prosperous capital, and they are unwilling to go to the border to fight with the enemy, and they can't stand the bitterness and coldness of the border. Therefore, the rotation system of the imperial guards gradually became

It was cancelled, and the imperial guards were actually divided into two parts: the imperial guards stationed in the heart of the Central Plains and the border troops.

With the signing of the Chanyuan Alliance, peace occurred between the Song and Liao dynasties, and only small-scale wars occurred from time to time in the west. The Dangxiang people rose up in Yinzhou and established the Xixia Kingdom, and fought with the Yanzhou border troops all day long.

The enemy is the best whetstone, so the Yanzhou army among the border troops became the most capable and dared to attack the army of the Song Dynasty. This is the Western Army.

The eight hundred thousand imperial guards have long lost the courage that was forged from the war between blood and fire in the early days of the Jian Dynasty, and now they have become the embroidered tales of playboys. Millions of wing troops are just millions of jokes, from land loss and bankruptcy

The combat effectiveness is basically equal to the negative number.

Only the Western Army could fight in the entire Song Dynasty, and only the Western Army could face the Pishi Army of the Liao Kingdom and the most elite Iron Harrier blade in the Western Xia.

More than 50 years ago, the Nongzhigao rebelled in Guangxi. The radiant Song imperial guards went to suppress the rebellion. As a result, they repeatedly defeated the enemy, and almost wiped out the original spark into a prairie fire.

In the end, Di Qing and Yang Wenguang led the western army in Yanzhou to fight thousands of miles to Guangxi, and then put the rebellion in one fell swoop.

Since then, martial artists and heroes who were determined to serve the country and kill the enemy in the Song Dynasty only went to the Western Army. When they went to the imperial guards, they would be ridiculed by other heroes, and the imperial guards could not enter, so it must be related.

Lu Da has something to do. His senior brother Lin Chong is the instructor of the Guns and Sticks of the Guns and Sticks of the Guns. Although there are probably thousands of coaches like Lin Chong in the Guns, they actually have no power, but they can barely join the Guns and eat the imperial grain.

Do it.

But for a hero like Luda who is determined to take revenge on the defending country, letting him join the playboys in the imperial guards be forced to turn against him.

Two years ago, Yang Yi and Lu Da left Yang Gu County. Before leaving, they were invited by local celebrity Ximen Qing to gather together, and they were treated with good wine and food. Of course, Ximen Qing was famous for the Shaanxi hero Zhou Tong.

.

Although Ximen Qing felt very playful during the banquet, his friends, Hua Zixu, Ying Count, Xie Xida, etc., were called "Ten Brothers". These people also had a serious playful atmosphere, and even had a strong one.

He has a rogue temperament, but he doesn't hit people with a smile on his face. His enthusiasm is sincere.

In addition, Ximen Qing had a trace of the origin of the Xiaoyao Sect, Yang Yi talked to them and just politely declined the one-stop entertainment after drinking.

Given Ximen Qing's local snake attributes, Yang Yi asked him to take care of Wu Zhi's family before leaving, and Ximen Daren patted his chest very readily.

Leaving Yanggu County, Yang Yi and Lu Da went to Wufeng Mountain and visited Lao Zhangtou. Soon, Xiao Lu settled into Wusong from Chaijiazhuang, Cangzhou and rushed over. In the following days, Lu Yan opened the hall in Xingzhou.

In preaching, Yang Yi and Lu Da lived at the foot of Xingzhou Mountain day and night to practice martial arts, and their days returned to the rhythm before they met Wu Song.

Later, when the three of them traveled to Qingzhou, Shandong, the passionate little Lu had another object of admiration. Unfortunately, this time the other party was a married woman.

Zhao Mingcheng is the current Zuo Pushe, the son of Prime Minister Zhao Tingzhi. He brought his new wife he married in Bianliang two years ago to visit his relatives. Zhao Mingcheng, who likes gold and stone, and Chunyang, a famous Taoist priest who is knowledgeable and famous.

Zi Lu Yan fell in love with the past when he saw it, and wished he could communicate with each other every day.

Who knows that the dirty Lu Yan actually has no feelings for him at all, but just admires his wife very much, and welcomes him just to see his wife every day.

Yang Yi and Xiao Lu said, "No, I'll go and kill Zhao Mingcheng tonight. You can snatch her wife into the mountains and be a couple for a few years."

Xiao Lu gritted her teeth when she despised Yang Yi and made a profound criticism of her senior brother's dirty soul.

Yang Yi also discovered that his junior brother Lu Yan liked talented women and he loved them hopelessly, but he didn't dare to say or practice, and he only liked them.

After living for five hundred years, she met four brothers. Among the four, Lu Yan was the youngest and most like Yang Yi. So if Xiao Lu really could marry a talented woman and become a Taoist partner, Yang Yi would be the one who would be the heartfelt for him.

happy.

Zhao Mingcheng's wife is the daughter of Li Gefei, the former member of the Ministry of Rites, and is named Li Qingzhao.

After Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao returned to Bianliang, Lu Yan was in a state of dismay for several days. Because Yang Yi pretended to be Zhou Tong, the three of them could not go to Bianliang casually, which was the largest city in the world. It would be unbeautiful if they were knocked out by an acquaintance.

Not afraid, I just worry about cheating Luda too much and causing this kid's idol worship to collapse.

However, after Zhao Mingcheng returned to Bianliang, he praised Lu Yan in front of his father Prime Minister Zhao. Then, during the rest of the day when Prime Minister Zhao discussed the government affairs with the official family, he had no words to ask for something and then raised Lu Yan.

.So, Zhao Ji, the current official, remembered the little god Lu who was quite familiar with him.

Zhao Ji was the sixth generation grandson of Zhao Guangyi and the eighth emperor of the Song Dynasty. The Zhao Song officials praised and favored Taoism. When Zhao Ji's love reached its peak, he called himself the leader of the Taoist emperor, and did not even call him the "official family".

, but 'Daojun'.

After Zhao Ji ascended the throne three years ago, he wanted to establish a Taoist system in the court. It seemed that there was an attempt to turn the Song Dynasty, which was governed by Confucius and Mencius, into a sectarian country that united politics. In fact, if Zhao Ji went to practice Taoism, or

As a calligrapher, writer, connoisseur, painter, musician, doctor, gardener... he can become a great scholar in that field if he does almost anything.

The only job that Zhao Ji was not suitable for was to be an emperor.

Emperor Zhao Ji remembered Lu Yan and issued an order to come to Bianliang quickly to preside over the compilation of Taoist classics "The Great Dao Cang".
