The river breeze was gentle, colorful flags fluttered, and the summer sun shone with a clear aura. On the south bank of the Han River on April 25th, crowds of people were traversing mountains and ridges, gathering towards the small county town on the riverbank.

Young and strong men in tattered clothes, trembling old men, children following their parents, scholars, soldiers, beggars... At this moment, they were all moving in the same direction. The journey was through undulating mountains, and the green world was full of vitality. On both sides of the official road, some people even beat gongs and drums. A few thin scholars met, pointing at the surrounding scenery, creating a lively scene.

Ahead was Xicheng County, where the Dai Mengwei clan resided.

Originally a small county town with only twenty to thirty thousand residents, the current gathering of people had reached over one hundred and fifty thousand. Naturally, this included soldiers gathered from various places. Xicheng County had just quelled a "rebellion," and the war had not yet ended. The slaughter and processing of "rebel troops" in the east of the town had just begun. To the south of the county, a large number of civilians had gathered, making this originally scenic small county town resemble a bustling big city for a time.

At this time, the gathered civilians were mostly there to thank Dai Mengwei for saving their lives. People sent banners, brought plaques, and held up "Ten Thousand People Umbrellas" to thank Dai Mengwei for his kindness to all Han people in the world.

Xicheng County was not large, and Dai Mengwei was old and could not meet many people. People selected respected elders as representatives to deliver their heartfelt gratitude. Outside the south gate, people who could not enter the city gathered on grass slopes and in the mountains, dragging their children and kneeling towards the Dai residence in the city.

In the past year or two, the Jurchen Western Route Army had plundered and massacred, turning many cities into their own territory. A large number of laborers, craftsmen, and slightly attractive women were imprisoned in these cities, naturally with the intention of taking them away when they retreated north. With the defeat in the Southwest War, Dai Mengwei's deal brought back the "ownership" of these people. In recent days, news of their release and the provision of certain subsidies had spread throughout the towns south of the Yangtze River, and public opinion had begun to ferment under intentional control.

If all went well, the Jurchens would be able to bring back only hundreds of thousands of people to the north, but the war affected far more than that. A large number of cities were controlled by the Han army after being ravaged by war, and the Han army had surrendered to the Jurchens, so it was not an exaggeration to say that they were under Jurchen rule. The Jurchens were defeated in the war and retreated north in a panic. They could not take the people with them, but it was very likely that they would set fire to those they could not take away or carry out a massacre.

At this time, the aged Dai Mengwei, Master Dai, stood up, argued with the Jurchen Gushen face to face, and ultimately not only saved everyone, but even the grain and supplies that the Jurchens could not take away were not destroyed, but were all transferred to Dai Mengwei. As a result, after being released, people could even keep some items and resume their lives. Such kindness was no exaggeration to say that it was like a living Buddha for tens of thousands of families south of the Yangtze River, and could even be said to be the work of a saint.

In such actions, the correctness of some behaviors was certainly questionable. For example, tens of thousands of Black Flag bandits, although also resisting the Jin, were calculated by Dai Mengwei and became bargaining chips. However, for people who had spent more than a year in fear and embarrassment, such flaws were insignificant.

In their panic and fear, people had thought that whoever defeated the Jurchens would be a hero, but now that they were saved by Dai Mengwei, they immediately felt that Dai Mengwei could still insist on opposing the Black Flag, and was worthy of being a great Confucian and a saint with reason and restraint. That's right, if the Black Flag hadn't killed the emperor, how could the Wu Dynasty have come to this? If they forgot their past mistakes because they resisted the Jurchens, where would their integrity be?

Xi Yin handed over the population, materials, and control of the Han army on the south bank of the Yangtze River to Dai Mengwei several days ago. Although the generals of various armies had their own ideas, at the moment, they could not help but be impressed by Dai Mengwei's grand plan. Theoretically, this ruthless old man who could turn his hands into clouds and rain without a sound would inevitably be one of the most important core of power south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, in these first few days of publicity and arrangement, everyone had done their best to establish the image of this saint.

In the past, the people of various places were worried about being slaughtered and taken north by the Jurchens. When they heard that the Southwest War was lost, they did not feel relieved, but their fear was even greater. At this time, they finally escaped this terrible shadow, and when they heard that there would even be materials returned in the future, and that the government would help restore people's livelihoods, the emotions in their hearts were indescribable. The reaction in places farther away from Xicheng County might be slower, but the residents of the two large cities nearby poured into Xicheng County, blocking the small county town.

A large number of down-and-out scholars also gathered here, partly to thank Dai Mengwei for his kindness, and partly to take this opportunity to point out the country and sell what they had learned.

Dai Mengwei's reputation was not prominent in the past, but now that he had taken this action, the whole world knew about it. Naturally, everyone followed him. Coming earlier might earn his appreciation and even gain merit from the dragon.

These things had just begun, and Dai Mengwei did not stop the gathering of the people. He simply ordered his subordinates to open the granaries and set up porridge shops outside the city, trying to ensure that those who came could have a meal before leaving. On the surface, the old man did not meet too many outsiders every day.

He just followed his usual habits, teaching in the Dai family private school for half a day every day, spreading the spirit and integrity of a Confucian scholar, which was admirable to the outside world.

On the 25th, although the east of the city had already begun to kill the "rebels" of the past, the county town was still lively and stable. In the morning, a funeral was held in the back mountain of the Dai family, which was the burial of the Dai family children who died in this great action. After they were buried, the old man began to lecture in front of the grave mountain. A group of Dai family children and relatives knelt nearby, listening respectfully.

The mountain breeze was refreshing, only black smoke floated in the sky over the east of the county town in the distance, which was the smoke rising when the bodies of the rebels were burned. The scenes and atmosphere of death in the two places were strangely combined, and the old man followed this situation and began to talk about the general trend of the world, occasionally mentioning the discussion in the *Analects*, and then extending to the *Tao Te Ching*, and began to talk about the principle that "weapons are ominous instruments, and saints use them only when they have to."

Everyone bowed their heads and listened.

When the lecture was almost over, a steward came over and whispered some news to Dai Mengwei. Dai Mengwei nodded and let everyone disperse on their own. Then he went to the village, and soon after, he met a big man who came lightly armed in the courtyard of the Dai family study, Liu Guangshi.

Liu Guangshi saluted Dai Mengwei, and Dai Mengwei also returned the salute: "I didn't expect Duke Liu to come in person."

"Such an important event cannot be handled by subordinates. Moreover, if I don't come in person, how can I personally see Duke Dai's million people, and the盛况 of the people's hearts returning." Liu Guangshi's tone was not high, natural and sincere, "The Jin Kingdom's Western Route Army was frustrated and returned north. Without Duke Dai, there would be no way to deal with the lives, supplies, and grain of these hundreds of thousands of people. Duke Dai's high righteousness is worthy of another bow from the nephew."

"Duke Liu is too serious." Dai Mengwei helped him up, "I am an old and rotten body, unable to resist the enemy, but I am just drilling a loophole and doing my best. Strange plans cannot last long. In the future, the world will be turbulent, and this world will still need soldiers like Duke Liu to support it. Today, the world has really reached a point where everything is burned and it is difficult to continue to live. If there is no reform, even if I drag on for three or five years, it will only be like drinking poison to quench thirst."

"Duke Dai is right." Liu Guangshi nodded, "What Liu has been worried about in recent years is also this. In troubled times, martial arts are prosperous and literature is declining. In order to resist the Jurchens, we have to rely on those military laws and bandits, but these people are uneducated, rude and difficult to say, occupying a place and devouring the people, never thinking about the well-being of the people, adding chaos to chaos, Duke Dai... There are too few people like Duke Dai who have a family of scholars and are willing to stand up for the world."

"Duke Liu praised me wrongly."

"Duke Dai deserves it." Liu Guangshi complimented him, looked at Dai Mengwei's old face that did not move, sighed, "Let's get down to business, Duke Dai, Ning Liheng has broken out of Jiange and may arrive in Hanzhong in a few days... How is the battle in Hanzhong? Can you see any clues?"

"The battlefield in Hanzhong was previously a mess under the command of Nianhan. Xi Yin arrived outside Hanzhong City the day before yesterday and started the battle yesterday. Judging from the previous battle in Hanzhong, it may not be easy to determine the outcome. Although Qin Shaoqian's 20,000 elite soldiers are strong, Nianhan and Xi Yin are both heroes of the time. The outcome of this battle is difficult to predict... Of course, I don't understand military affairs, and this judgment may not enter the ears of experts. What exactly is going on, Duke Liu should see it more clearly than I do."

The decisive battle in Hanzhong between the Jin Kingdom and the Black Flag Seventh Army was the focus of the world's attention. Liu Guangshi must have arranged spies to go there and send back intelligence at any time. However, he secretly went to Xicheng County, and the feedback of intelligence must not be as fast as that of Dai Mengwei and others nearby. After saying a few words, Dai Mengwei asked people to bring the latest intelligence and handed it over to Liu Guangshi, who read it carefully in the room.

It was noon, and the sun was shining in the courtyard outside, but there was a breeze in the room. Well-dressed servants came in to add tea, and could not help but look at the majestic and stable guest with curious eyes.

Although the Dai family was a family in the past, and the family education was very strict, in terms of level, it only affected a few small prefectures and counties nearby. It was only in the last few days that the head of the family's actions shocked the world, not only reaching an equal agreement with the Jurchen Gushen, clearly opposing the Black Flag, but also gaining support from all parties and 朝方来方. Although the servants in the mansion had received strict orders and their demeanor had improved, they were still shocked by the identity of the guests who had come secretly in the past few days.

This General Liu Guangshi was one of the top generals and big figures in the world in the past. 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, but in fact, it is no exaggeration to say that he is dividing the land into kingdoms. However, in front of his own master, he actually came to the door in person to visit and discuss. People who knew what was going on were shocked and also honored.

Liu Guangshi carefully read the intelligence from Dai Mengwei and took a sip of tea. In the past few days, the battle in Hanzhong was so fierce that even Nianhan and Xi Yin themselves could hardly grasp the whole picture. The news learned by some spies who were exploring around was even more chaotic. On the way here, Liu Guangshi had received some intelligence. Comparing it with Liu's intelligence, he knew that the detailed news was unreliable, only the general direction could be inferred.

"Nianhan and Xi Yin lead the army, with more than 100,000 Jin soldiers, including the Tushan Guard. Qin Shaoqian has only 20,000 soldiers. If it were in the past, I would hardly believe that they could face each other, but after all... they have fought into such a stalemate. Qin Shaoqian... Alas..."

Liu Guangshi sighed. What he thought of was still Qin Siyuan, Qin Shaohe, and Qin Shaoqian more than ten years ago. At the beginning, Qin Siyuan was a powerful figure who could compete with Cai Jing and Tong Guan. Qin Shaohe inherited Qin Siyuan's mantle and rose all the way. Later, he defended Taiyuan against Nianhan for a year, which was also admirable, but Qin Shaoqian, as the second son of the Qin family, had nothing remarkable except for his violent and upright personality. But he never thought that more than ten years after Qin Siyuan and Qin Shaohe died, this Qin family son who took the path of a military general would压住 Nianhan in the front to fight.

More than a year ago, when the Jin Kingdom's Western Route Army attacked the Jingxiang defense line, Liu Guangshi supervised the battle on the front line and knew the power of the Tushan Guard especially well. Corruption was rampant within the Wu Dynasty army, and the relationship was intricate. Liu Guangshi, a son of a noble family, understood this best. Zhou Junwu took the world's great risk and offended countless people to train a 背嵬军 that did not allow anyone to interfere. Facing the Tushan Guard, he also lost more than he won. Liu Guangshi could not help but sigh. Yue Fei was young and energetic and lacked smooth means. He often thought that if the same resources and trust were placed on himself... Jingxiang might have been defended.

Of course, such things could only be thought about and could not be said, but it was also because of this that he understood the power of the 背嵬军 and the power of the Tushan Guard. At this moment, it was difficult to understand in the specific intelligence how powerful Qin Shaoqian's Seventh Army was.

"...The strength of the Chinese Army is still fundamentally based on Mr. Ning in the Southwest. The Wangyuan Bridge broke 30,000 with 7,000, beheaded Wanyan Xiebao, and scared Nianhan out of his wits. That's why the Western Route Army turned around and retreated. Now that he has killed Bali Su and left Jiange, Nianhan and Xi Yin must not want to face him at this time. Nianhan's chaotic battle is a tactic of exhausted soldiers and procrastination without the confidence to fight a head-on decisive battle, but procrastination is only for the sake of the decisive battle. Xi Yin will inevitably pursue the early completion of the battle. Qin Shaoqian uses his troops fiercely, almost stubbornly, and is probably facing the front..."

Liu Guangshi analyzed: "Duke Dai is right. In Liu's opinion, this great war will also have a result within a few days... Nianhan has 100,000, Qin has 20,000, and if there is no heart demon, it can only be a lose-lose situation. The problem is, how tragic is the fight, or when to choose to stop."

"Duke Liu thinks it will stop?"

"Nianhan and Xi Yin掌 100,000 troops, and they certainly hope to eliminate Qin Shaoqian in one battle, but looking at the previous news, the strength of this army under Qin Shaoqian is really earth-shattering. According to Qin Shaoqian's ideas, he probably also hopes to kill Nianhan and Xi Yin in Hanzhong, but that's what he thinks. Who are Nianhan and Xi Yin? Even if Qin Shaoqian is a hero like Wanyan Aguda in the world, Nianhan is not Emperor Tianzu before Hupudagang... This battle has already been extremely tragic. In my opinion, the two sides will use Hanzhong as the battlefield and entangle for several days. If Nianhan and Qin Shaoqian do not die, the two sides will gradually break away from the battle and suffer heavy losses. That is the most likely result... In fact, it is already a lose-lose situation, but the fact that the Chinese Seventh Army can force Nianhan to this extent is already unmatched in the world."

They are all people who have seen countless big scenes. Although Liu Guangshi said that the Chinese Seventh Army was unmatched in the world, his tone was still calm. After all, the general trend of the world cannot be controlled by one or two invincible armies. The transformation of strength in the world is often not something that can be explained in a few words. Dai Mengwei's face was slightly sad, and he nodded: "Just as the public officials in Beijing said, this Chinese army is like something that is strong and easy to break and cannot be defended for a long time. They have less trouble."

His tone was 평담한, slightly mocking, Liu Guangshi smiled slightly: "What does Duke Dai think?"

"I am not so optimistic. The Chinese army is like the rising sun, sharp and enterprising, which is admirable. Ning Rentu is also like Wanyan Aguda, and can be called a generation of heroes... It's just that his path is too radical. The stronger the Chinese army, the longer the world will be in this turmoil. Today, the world has been in turmoil for more than ten years, and more than tens of millions of Han people in the Central Plains and Jiangnan have died. The Chinese army is so radical and wants to destroy Confucianism. Without the death of hundreds of millions of people in the world, it will be difficult to quell this chaos... Since I know this principle, I cannot help but stand up to stop this great disaster."

Liu Guangshi felt a little疑惑: "I hope Duke Dai will elaborate."

Dai Mengwei then roughly repeated what he said to Xi Yin that day. Liu Guangshi got up and bowed again: "Today I know that there is a great sage here. Compared with Duke Dai's mind, the public officials in Beijing are nothing but clowns..."

Faced with the substantial rise of the Chinese army, the method chosen by Wu Qimei and others in Beijing to resist was to put together reasons to explain the harm of the Chinese army to the large families, aristocratic families, and separatist forces in various places. Those remarks could certainly bewitch a part of the people, but in front of Liu Guangshi and other major forces, Wu Qimei's拼凑 of arguments and instigation of others seemed somewhat eloquent and weak. It's just that when the great enemy is present and everyone is united against the enemy, people will naturally not refute him.

In contrast, Dai Mengwei's words at this time started with the overall situation and were truly high-level and full of persuasion. The Chinese army's声灭儒 can be regarded as a joke in the past. If it is really implemented, the series of actions of killing the emperor and destroying Confucianism will result in great chaos in the world, which is a result that anyone with a little knowledge can see. Now that the Chinese army has defeated the Jurchens, this result is imminent. Dai Mengwei's words are equivalent to setting the guidelines and starting point for opposing the Black Flag Army at the highest level.

With Liu Guangshi's knowledge, he naturally understood that the Beijing family's words were just顺水推舟 and pretending to believe, but Dai Mengwei's remarks would be truly believed by knowledgeable people from all over the world.

And will create a sense of mission.

He complimented Dai Mengwei and had already considered many operations in his heart. Then he坦陈 to Dai Mengwei: "To be honest, in the past month, seeing the Western Route Army of the Jin Kingdom retreating north and the power of the Chinese Army growing, the nephew and the leaders under his command have also had various plans. Today, I am here to坦陈 and ask Duke Dai one by one... In fact, how much of the Wu Dynasty can survive in the world depends on the current situation..."

He then told Dai Mengwei one by one the plans of the various families to串联, pass through Jingxiang, and recover Bianliang. Some of the participants were also among the warlords who were "loyal" to Dai Mengwei. Today, the situation in the world is so chaotic that the Black Flag is about to become powerful. The positions of Liu and Dai can be regarded as next to the Black Flag's couch. The reason for the alliance is extremely sufficient.

Moreover, Liu Guangshi is proficient in military affairs, but he lacks the most professional structure and vision in the structure of literary affairs. In the future situation, even if he can recover Bianliang, he can only build a one-man hall, but he cannot build a relatively healthy small court. Dai Mengwei has the meticulousness of literary affairs and the vision of the overall situation, but his control over the generals who have归附 under his command is still not enough, and he also needs the participation and balance of partners.

After Liu Guangshi's坦陈, although Dai Mengwei's expression did not change, he also revealed his thoughts to Liu Guangshi. In the past, the Wu Dynasty was糜爛 and various relationships were intricate, so that both civil and military officials tended to be朽. At this moment, when the great enemy is present, all parties must talk about interests when they unite, but it is also the time to break and then stand. For the warlords and generals of various roads, they have just experienced the shadow of the Jin people and the Black Flag, and their requirements will not be too many. It is the time to purify military discipline, reform the military system, and strengthen management.

As for the literary minister system, the old framework is now chaotic, and it is the time to take the opportunity to greatly promote the imperial examination and promote poor families. In past dynasties, such opportunities only existed at the time of the founding of the country. Although it is also necessary to win over the large families and aristocratic families in various places, there are many vacant positions, and it is easy to reach a consensus in the face of strong enemies. If they can really奪回 Bianliang and recast order, a vibrant new Wu Dynasty is worth looking forward to.

Dai Mengwei now has the hearts of the people, and he is also very deep in this变革. Liu Guangshi was overjoyed after exchanging with him. It was now noon, and Dai Mengwei ordered his subordinates to prepare dishes and wine, and the two continued to talk while eating. During this period, Liu Guangshi also talked about the Black Flag Army: "Now Qin's Seventh Army is in Hanzhong, and there is also a force of more than 3,000 people still surrounded and attacked nearby. No matter what happens in Hanzhong, when the Jurchens retreat, with the Black Flag's睚眦必报 nature, I am afraid they will not give up with Duke Dai. Does Duke Dai have a way to deal with this?"

Dai Mengwei just smiled 평靜: "If that is the case, I will引颈以待 and let him kill me, so that people in the world can see what kind of stuff this Chinese army is."

He rescued "hundreds of thousands of people" from the Jurchens, and now his声势 has risen. He is just慷慨凛然 and视死如归 about the possibility of the Chinese army's revenge. Liu Guangshi quickly shook his head: "Oh, this is not possible. Duke Dai is负天下之望, and everything in this world in the future cannot be separated from Duke Dai. Duke Dai must not be so意气. This matter should be discussed in the long term."

Dai Mengwei said: "Let him come, it doesn't matter."

The two then discussed the various details of the union one by one. After noon, it was Wei time. At the third刻 of Wei time, the intelligence from Hanzhong arrived.

At the moment when the intelligence arrived, with Dai Mengwei's城府, he could not suppress his changed face. He confirmed the intelligence twice, his hands trembled slightly, looked at the scout who delivered the message, and looked at Liu Guangshi on the side. After a long time, he took a long breath: "I never thought that one day, I would hope that the Jurchens..."

Speaking of this, his lips trembled and he did not continue. He handed the intelligence to Liu Guangshi. Liu Guangshi glanced at it and looked at the scout: "...Really?"

In terms of time, the scout came too fast. This first-hand information, without time confirmation, may be reversed. The intelligence was not really bad news. After all, both participating parties were enemies to them, but such intelligence was really too heavy for the significance of the whole world, and it was heavy and complex for their significance.

On April 24, the Western Route Army of the Jurchen and the Seventh Army of China launched a decisive battle outside Hanzhong City. That afternoon, Qin Shaoqian led the main force of the Seventh Army with more than 10,000 troops and正面击破 the main force of Nianhan near Tuan Mountain, 15 miles west of Hanzhong City. Nianhan fled to Hanzhong, Qin Shaoqian衔尾 pursued and killed Nianhan's son Wanyan Sheyema on the way. By the time the message was sent, the war had burned into Hanzhong, and the 100,000 troops of the Western Route Army of the Jurchen were on the verge of total collapse...

Too fast.

Liu Guangshi's head was buzzing. He could not pay attention to too many details at this time, such as this being the first time in decades that Nianhan had been killed and fled so狼狈, such as the fact that Nianhan's two sons had been killed in front of the battle by the Chinese army, such as the fact that the Western Route Army of the Jurchen came浩浩荡荡 and went兵败如山. What would happen to the world? ... He only had one sentence in his mind temporarily, "Too fast." The慷慨激昂 and half-day discussion just now became tasteless in an instant.

Dai Mengwei's mind was also a little empty.

Sunlight fell outside the courtyard, birds were calling, everything seemed to have not changed, 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. The servants were walking outside, and the crowd in Xicheng County was still熙熙攘攘. The scholars were pointing and discussing, and the crowds of people who were磕头 outside the county were still full of mountains. The message of the world's change was breaking out on the hidden side of this world, and many people did not know what was happening...

……

"Duke Dai..."

I don't know when, Liu Guangshi stood up and was about to speak...
