53 Peace of mind
Everyone understands what he means.
It seems that the passage should be a few years old. At that time, there may be only more than a thousand families who guarded the small checkpoints on both sides. The market needed manpower and farming. How could they draw much labor? This is different from the ground formation of King Meng Tian. They drew a large number of equipment, sixty or 70,000 people, and they were all strong men, and there were also strong people with good skills, so that the huge ground formation was built.
The ancient tribes wanted to build this huge tunnel, but there was only one way, either to buy a large number of slaves or trick a lot of labor into it, and forced them to build it secretly. The key is how will the ancient tribes deal with it after these slaves built the passage to keep the secret?
Kill them all!
To find out the truth, it is just a passage for escape, and it leads to the north of the mountain. No matter how long it is, there is no need to worry. However, more than 2,000 tribes that were hostile to the Tang Kingdom may have amazing financial resources. After Xian Yu Zhongshu returned, he immediately ordered to send someone to guard the passage and search for the whereabouts of the ancient tribesmen.
Liu Xiu went to see Li Ping's injury.
It's a serious injury, but it won't be fatal.
He whispered, "Brother, let me practice whenever I have time."
Li Ping led the way, but Liu Xiu did not object. How could he go to the battlefield if he was greedy for life and fear of death? Besides, he was a general.
However, soldiers against soldiers, general against general, Yi is already a formal general, and Li Ping's cultivation is also a bit low. This time, Liu Xiu gave him a Vajra Treasure in advance, otherwise it would be difficult to say whether Li Ping could survive after this battle.
"Second brother, don't forget, this is our dream."
"I'm helpless..." Liu Xiu stroked her hands.
When I was a child, when I saw his adoptive father working hard for him, Liu Xiu said, "I must be a doctor when I grow up." At that time, Li Ping was also in his youth, so he said to me, "I will be a general in the future." Then Li Ping asked Zhuang Wenqing, third brother, who do you want to be?"
Zhuang Wenqing was even younger at that time. He raised his cute big eyes and looked at his two brothers, not knowing how to answer. Li Ping laughed and said, "Third brother, you like reading, you should be a scholar in the future."
Zhuang Wenqing may not necessarily want to be a scholar, but generals, doctors, were said by Li Ping and Liu Xiu themselves. At present, the two of them happened to be the real general and the other became a real doctor. But does Liu Xiu want to be a doctor now?
If you return to Da'an City, you may continue to preside over the clinic. People can't spend all their time on cultivation while living. With Zhang Youchi is the king, you must find something to do. But a doctor may not be his dream. I can only say that he must survive hard now. After breaking through to the Qihai Realm, Liu Xiu himself doesn't know who he is.
Liu Xiu went to see other patients.
At the third update, Xian Yu Zhongshu brought his personal soldiers over. The personal soldiers opened the food box. Xian Yu Zhongshu personally accompanied Gao Kezhi and Liu Xiu to have midnight snacks. This enviable and slightly smart person understands the importance of the two.
"Don't go, go for a rest."
Liu Xiu is different from Gao Kezhi. He has low cultivation and can't stand it for a long time without resting.
"OK."
"Also, accept the position of chief minister. After returning to Beijing, it will be helpful to you."
Now Liu Xiu also understood that in order to win over some powerful men in Mengnan, the military chiefs, officials, and other positions are somewhat rampant, and they are mostly idle positions that are temporarily named. Why are these strong men in Mengnan flocking to them? Because they are idle positions now, but when they return to the Tang Dynasty to reward merits and give official positions, they will immediately become different.
For example, if Li Ping's cultivation is an ordinary child who enters the army without any military merits, he is just a lieutenant. If Li Ping is replaced, he will immediately become a stubborn general.
"Sir, you understand." Liu Xiu refused again.
Xianyu Zhongshu was not good at persuading him, and I don’t know if it was an illusion. Liu Xiu gave him the feeling that his mind was very cold and lofty, just like some masters living in seclusion in the mountains to practice, but it was a bit different. Anyway, it had an indescribable taste.
Xian Yu Zhongshu left, Li Ping made a gesture, and Liu Xiu walked over.
"The Lu family's child is really good. He has excellent cultivation talent and looks beautiful. Second brother, please accept the kindness of the general manager." Li Ping said quietly.
"You are calm and clear about your ambitions, and you will be calm and far-reaching. If you are not calm, you will not be able to concentrate and do something. Brother, your talent is not weak. If you are calm, your cultivation speed will be faster..."
What Liu Xiu said means is that the state of mind must be quiet, and learning means learning, and not think of other messy things, so that learning efficiency will be improved. Similarly, cultivation means cultivation, and doing things means doing things. This is the reason, but it is difficult for ordinary people to do it.
For example, Li Ping, as the eldest brother, had to consider his second and third brothers, and when he got married, he would always have his thoughts and energy to enter the army. Although he would become a general as he wished, he would have more energy to be assigned.
This would delay his cultivation speed, and it is actually very important. If this victory in the southern expedition is rewarded by the court and he is the eldest son of Duke of the Marquis, Li Ping would definitely become a second-class marquis as he wished. However, this is the only way, because his cultivation level is impossible to promote Li Ping as a general of the guard or deputy general of the guard.
"Lu family..."
"Don't think so much. Three years later, thinking now will be useless. If you can't last three years, harm others and yourself. After three years, the child will not be old, and it will not be too late to think about it."
What harms people is that once the relationship is formally determined and Liu Xiu cannot survive, he becomes a living widow. What harms himself is that if he goes back and discusses it formally, Liu Xiu will also divide his unnecessary energy.
"but……"
"Brother, I understand what you said. If I can survive, I am very good and I don't match each other. I don't care who is stronger or weak. The key is what the other person thinks. If you are conscience, whether there is an official position or not, it will be the same. If you are not conscience, even if you have a small official, you will still be embarrassed at that time."
Liu Xiu didn't say anything more. Although no one would listen to their conversation, there were many seriously injured people here, which was not a good place to talk.
This is Liu Xiu's wisdom.
Duke Hou said that Liu Xiu was the most beautiful, and the three brothers were confused. He asked what it was. Hou Guo said that beauty and beauty are superior to everyone. Only those who perfectly combine great courage, wisdom, perseverance, great belief, good manners, appearance and morality are called beauty.
Li Ping asked how this wisdom and courage are different from their wisdom and courage?
Duke Hou said, Ping'er, your courage is bravery, bravery, and more in power, but true courage is to be brave with strategy, courage with decisiveness, and courage with initiative. Compared with Xiu'er, you are at least short of strategy and calmness. Qing'er is calm enough and good at making decisions. Compared with Xiu'er, she lacks a lofty and open heart, compassionate and compassionate heart, and is too enduring.
The ethics of the Duke of Hou are recognized by the world. Under his training, the three brothers have different personalities. Whether it is Li Ping or Zhuang Wenjing, they will not be jealous of Liu Xiu. Besides, how can Liu Xiu be jealous of this?
Now Li Ping gradually understood that there were some differences. For example, if you were on a trip to the fog mountain, you would either escape or not survive. If you were on a Zhuang Wenqing, at least you would not remind the irrelevant Zhou Feng, thereby deepening his own danger.
As for what Liu Xiu said about his own mind, Li Ping really thought too much. Liu Xiu spent less time thinking about miscellaneous things, but he could always figure out the most important interest in the various causes and effects.
"It's so difficult to go against the will of heaven."
This is what Duke Hou said before his death. In terms of qualifications, nature, and perseverance, almost no one can match Liu Xiu, but the world is generally balanced, and the resources that go against the sky will inevitably suffer from the sky.
Just as he thought of this, the wound started to hurt violently again. Li Ping drank a bowl of medicine and fell asleep soon after.
…………
"Sir, we are helpless," said the old patriarch of the ancient clan, leaning on the ground.
"Haha," Xian Yu Zhongshu sneered twice.
Not to mention, it has been confirmed that they are "pro-Ningxia factions". Even if they are neutral, they cannot let them go for Daduxia. Unless they are obviously pro-Tang sects, they can only be properly placed in order not to disappoint others. But in that case, the Yongluo coalition forces could allow them to continue to stay in Daduxia some time ago?
However, Xian Yu Zhongshu also admired the ancestors of the ancient clan for their long-term plans.
Not only did they secretly dig a mountain passage that was nearly forty miles long, they also divided some tribes into a mountain family and changed their surnames to Yiyang City to develop secretly. In recent years, the two sides have supported each other, and the tribes of Yiyang City have also developed into a medium-sized and large tribe with more than 1,000 households and occupied a Yuanshi mine. No outsiders knew about this.
When the Tang army took down Dadu Gorge, they would inevitably clean the battlefield, treat the wounded on the same day, and discuss the next plan.
In addition to the four guards who were pursuing, the guards who were heading to Yiyang City were not sent out in the afternoon. Soon after, it was dark, so they had to camp and stop and set off the next morning.
However, the ancient tribe used the passage to reach the Taixi River early in the morning. The river was a little turbulent and was not afraid. It had money and resources, and it also piled up some experts. These people stabilized the bamboo rafts and set off towards Yiyang City day and night with the help of the water flow.
The next day, the Tang army was still halfway, and the ancient clans had already arrived at Yiyang City. Under the cover of another clan, they all entered Yiyang City. But they were not lucky. They had just settled down and the Tang army had arrived. Moreover, Huang Wei General received the order from Xian Yu Zhongshu and was looking for them. No matter how he was hidden, nearly 20,000 people could hide, and they were all captured by the Tang army.
The ancient clan leader suddenly raised his head: "Gao Dawu, please say good things for us."
Gao Kezhi said speechlessly: "Chief of the ancient clan, as far as I know, when the Tang Dynasty settled in Hulu City, your ancient clan was just an ordinary village with more than 200 households. How many clan members are there now? More than 4,000 households, placed in Canghai, are all considered a super-large tribe. Why can your ancient clan grow and become rich?"
The Tang army entered Hulu City, which also brought some production and large-scale trade from the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, not everyone benefits. For example, Luohuacheng, only a few people in Yang Longmu benefited this kind of trade, and even if others benefited, they would not benefit much. However, the ancient tribe became stronger and rich, and would definitely benefit from this kind of trade exchanges.
Why did he hate the Tang Kingdom? Gao Kezhi also heard that when Huang Wei general captured them, he relied on his tribe-many and many soldiers, and some "strong people" had once resisted violently. If Huang Wei had not passed the actual battle of Dadu Gorge and the long-term integration, if it weren't for the battle of Dadu Gorge that made many people afraid of Yiyang City, and a large number of Ding Zhuang were conquered by the Yongluo coalition and fled to the south, Huang Wei might have overturned the ship in the gutter.
The two have had a few friends. In this case, how could Gao Kezhi speak good things for the ancient tribe?
Be a war slave obediently.
The ancient tribe was ashes as if they were dead. Only some of the other tribes became war slaves, but the ancient tribes were old and young, and they could officially announce that the ancient tribe had exterminated the tribe. Not only were they, but the four guards in front also sent a large number of prisoners of war.
First they chased Qingshui River, and Wan Yun and Luo Qing escaped from the sky, but most of the direct troops they brought were shot dead or captured by the Tang army. Before the four guards stopped, they continued to plow the courtyard and sweep the caves repeatedly in the vast area east of Qingshui River and north of Lanxi River.
Anyone who participates in the Battle of Dadu Gorge, as long as he takes the initiative to hand over other tribal partners, provides relevant clues, and vows to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty, he can forgive him and reward a large number of war slaves and land. Otherwise, he will forcibly suppress it.
This is a must.
There is no need to worry about areas within Dadu Gorge. As long as the Nanguan is built, the tribes in the inner surrounding areas generally dare not move, or imitate the Tang army and send an elite army to force the Sunshan Mountain. It is a journey, but when we go around the back of Dadu Gorge, there is a Beiguan behind. In this way, if the troops are less, the Tang army will quickly wipe out. If there are more troops, the supply is the biggest problem.
Unless King Yongluo defeated the Tang army, there will be many tribes in the inner circumference spontaneously donating supplies to this army for supply, but in that case, the Tang army will still stick to this lonely pass? However, there will be two situations in the area south of the Sun Mountain, and the front line is very long. In order to have a relatively stable and safe rear, the Tang army had to adopt this method of both kindness and power to win over and divide the tribes.
The situation in Nanxia is different from that in Beixia. It has no steep slopes, but it is narrower in width and has a large number of prisoners of war. Occasionally, soldiers will come to help. Nanguan is about to be built, and to prevent the incident of the two-guard front-line attack on Dadu Gorge. The Tang army also built more than 20 more severe outposts on some peaks on both sides of Nanxia.
