Life goes on and on. Every moment, some lives fall like shooting stars, while those who remain in the world must continue their journey.
Shi Jin journeyed south and arrived in Wozhou. Compared to the despair he felt on his way north, reuniting with his brother Lin Chong was the happiest thing to happen to him in years. The ups and downs of the chaotic world, the supposedly passionate fight against the Jin, all he had seen along the way was a mixture of sorrow and desolation. The romance that could be written about life and death existed mostly in the embellishments of others. When you're in it, the world is nothing but a mire.
Only seeing Lin Chong again still had life to it. The survival of this brother, even his enlightenment, made one feel that there was still a path to survival in this world after all.
He took on the responsibility of finding Lin Chong's child. After arriving in Wozhou, he sought out the local tough guys and greenwoodsmen to find clues. Although Red Crest Mountain was also a powerful force in its time before the internal strife, it had never operated in Wozhou. This search took some time. When he heard about the earth-shattering battle in Wozhou that night, Shi Jin almost burst out laughing. Lin Zongwu had always thought highly of himself, constantly proclaiming his martial arts to be the best in the world. More than ten years ago, he sought out Grandmaster Zhou Tong for a martial arts competition but failed to find him. More than ten years later, he was inexplicably defeated under the spear of Lin Chong's brother. One wonders what kind of mood and appearance he has at this moment.
Thinking about how strong Lin Chong's martial arts are now, even if they don't plan for great things after they meet again, the two of them could be like Grandmaster Zhou, traveling around the world for the sake of it, gathering three or five righteous people, killing Jin dogs and eliminating traitors, just doing what they can, laughing proudly, how wonderful would that be?
With this plan in mind, he calmed down temporarily, searching for the whereabouts of Mu Anping on one hand, and waiting for Lin Chong's return on the other, also inquiring about the whereabouts of the Qi family's Qi Ao. However, as time passed, there was no news of Mu Anping's whereabouts, nor any news from Lin Chong. The anxiety in Shi Jin's heart eventually gathered together. Even if he forced it down, it would occasionally surge up again, stirring up waves.
On the sixth day after arriving in Wozhou, he still hadn't found Tan Lu and Mu Anping. He estimated that with Lin Chong's martial arts, he had either delivered the things or been intercepted halfway. In any case, there should have been some news. Then he heard a piece of news coming from the north.
A day ago, the troops under Wang Juyun stationed in the north suddenly used their forces towards the southeast, targeting Yucheng to the east of Wozhou. When this news came, Wozhou immediately began to implement martial law, soldiers went up to the city walls and began to guard against the other side's sneak attack.
Feeling the chilling atmosphere of the approaching war, the morale of the people in Wozhou City began to become uneasy. Shi Jin was awakened by this atmosphere.
He understood what was about to happen.
The Jurchens in the north were almost ready to move south, and many forces of the puppet Qi knew this more or less. South of Yanmen Pass, the Jin King's territory nominally still submitted to the Jurchens, but in private they had already colluded with the Black Flag Army. The righteous army Wang Juyun, who had already raised the anti-Jin banner, had also been seen in the Tian Hu rebellion last year. Although the two sides were nominally opposed, they had actually been privately trading with each other. It was absolutely impossible for Wang Juyun's forces to approach Wozhou to attack the Jin King.
In the direction of Yucheng, that was where a branch of the Great Confucian Qi Yan's clan was located.
The wind was howling, the final showdown, the life-and-death struggle, had already begun.
He thought of many things. Early the next morning, he left Wozhou City and began to head south. Martial law had already begun along the way. Half a day away from Wozhou, he suddenly heard that the Moyun Army guarding the southeast Huguan had rebelled. This Moyun Army was under the jurisdiction of Lu Hui, Yun Zongwu and others. When they rebelled, their plans were revealed and they were fighting fiercely in the Huguan area.
Going further south, all he saw along the way was the crisscrossing of troops, and it seemed that a great chaos was brewing without warning. Many gentry families and those who had originally held high positions in the Jin King's system had been affected. Troops were sent out of various cities, rampaging and ransacking the mansions of these wealthy families. The old, weak, women and children in these large families were all captured and押往 to the city. Some people in the city had even begun to be beheaded and displayed to the public.
Even though there had been many power struggles in the Jin King's system in the past, the scale of this one was probably not as large as this.
Shi Jin knew what was going on.
Since he received the intelligence from the Xia Army "Clown" and headed to the Jin King's territory, the interception along the way had been fierce, but there were not many people who came to meet him. Shi Jin understood in his heart that the intelligence was probably true, otherwise the forces in the south would not have been so desperate, because they knew very well that once the news was delivered, everyone's cards would be revealed. On the contrary, if they could intercept the person halfway, many things could be denied afterwards.
But this news was definitely not just in his hands. With the "Clown's" cunning, why would he put all his eggs in one basket? The Black Flag Army had been operating in the north, if they had to find someone temporarily to transmit intelligence, that would be a joke.
He might just be bait, luring out all kinds of people with ulterior motives in the dark. Even those not on the list might reveal their true colors because of this. Shi Jin had no complaints about this, but now that this huge chaos had suddenly broken out in the Jin King's territory, it could only prove that Tian Shi, Lou Shuwan, Yu Yulin and others had identified their opponents and had begun to act.
Where did Big Brother Lin finally send the message?
…
At this time, the surrounding official roads had been blocked. Shi Jin went south all the way, arrived at Xingzhou City, and sneaked into the city according to the past agreement. He found a few old subordinates of Red Crest Mountain and asked them to spread their ears and eyes to help inquire. Shi Jin was disheartened when he disbanded his old subordinates in the past. If it weren't for the urgency of this matter, he would never have wanted to burden these old subordinates again.
Leaving Xingzhou, he traveled east and arrived at the Yueping Camp near Liaozhou. Half of Yu Yulin's army had already set off for Huguan. Yueping City was also filled with a chilling atmosphere. Shi Jin pondered for a long time before letting his old subordinates reveal their names to seek an audience with Lou Shuwan, who happened to be in Yueping to take charge of the situation.
Soon after, he knew Lin Chong's whereabouts.
At this time, the messenger had just been buried.
The autumn wind was whistling. Inside and outside Yueping City, the city walls were still being reinforced. On this day, Shi Jin felt great sorrow, not the sorrow of a jar breaking by the well after years of battling on the battlefield, but the desperate sorrow that everything was sinking into the darkness. From the time when Grandmaster Zhou and others began to rush to their deaths like moths to a flame more than ten years ago, all the good things he had seen in these ten years had been destroyed in the chaos. Those who resisted, those who had fought side by side, those who had fallen in love, those who carried the friendship of the past…
Passing through more than ten years of trajectory, Big Brother Lin was finally swallowed by the darkness a few days after their reunion.
The Jurchens went south, the Black Flag sent messages…
In the military camp where bloodstains still remained, Shi Jin could almost hear the last shout he had made. Li Shuangyou's betrayal was unexpected. If he had come, he might have been deeply involved in it, but Shi Jin also felt that such an ending seemed to be what Lin Chong was pursuing.
He stayed in the military camp for a long time, and went to see Lin Chong's tomb. This night, the torches on the city walls of Yueping were brightly lit. The workers were still rushing to reinforce the city walls. Various shouts were mixed with panicked voices. The female prime minister named Lou Shuwan was inspecting and arranging the progress of the entire project, and would soon rush to the next city. She wanted to see Shi Jin again, and Shi Jin also had something to ask of her.
"...I hope Hero Shi will forgive us for not providing assistance on the way south. This is because the messages sent this time are mixed with truth and falsehood. There is more than one or two people who claim to have come south with intelligence. The Jurchen Gushen also sent people to mix in. In fact, we took the opportunity to see many deeply hidden traitors. The Jurchens are also taking this opportunity to let people express their position. Those who want to waver have no room to waver because of this list that was sent down."
The firelight on the city wall flickered. This woman in a black dress with a cold expression looked strong, but only martial arts masters like Shi Jin could see the fatigue on the other side's body. While walking, she spoke, her words were cold, but surprisingly had a power that calmed people's minds: "At this time, I will not beat around the bush. The Jurchen's southward invasion is imminent, and the world is in danger. Hero Shi used to run Chifeng Mountain, and still has a lot of influence today. I wonder if you are willing to stay and fight alongside us. I know that Hero Shi is saddened by the death of his friend, but this situation... please forgive Hero Shi."
Looking at the fatigue and strength in the other party's eyes, Shi Jin suddenly felt that his management of Chifeng Mountain was not as good as this woman. After the Chifeng Mountain internal strife, a firefight forced Shi Jin to leave with his subordinates, but there were still tens of thousands of people left on the mountain. If he had the help of the Jin King's forces, he could have taken back Chifeng Mountain, but at this moment, he finally did not agree.
"If it were normal, Shi would never refuse this matter, but this brother of mine still has relatives in the hands of villains who have not been rescued. Shi is not afraid of death, but no matter what, he must do this... This time I came here to ask Miss Lou to help me with one or two things..."
Shi Jin cupped his hands and briefly explained Lin Chong's situation. Lin Chong's child fell into the hands of Tan Lu. It would be like finding a needle in a haystack to find him alone. The situation was too urgent at this time. If it weren't for this, with his character, he would never have asked for help. As for Lin Chong's enemy Qi Ao, it didn't matter when he was killed, it was a small matter.
Lou Shuwan listened quietly and nodded: "Because of the list, the surrounding areas will probably be in chaos. To be honest, the Qi Yan family has already surrendered to the Jurchens. They support Li Xizhi in the north. On the Jin King's side, they are also the focus of this purge. If Qi Ao is really a branch of the Qi family, he is probably already arrested and will be beheaded soon. As for finding someone, the war is imminent, so I cannot specifically send someone to handle it for Hero Shi. However, I can prepare a warrant for Hero Shi to allow local governments to cooperate with Hero Shi in investigating the case. This situation is chaotic, and many local bullies and greenwoodsmen should be arrested and interrogated by the government. With this warrant, Hero Shi should be able to ask for some information. I don't know if this is possible."
"Shi will repay your kindness in the future." Shi Jin cupped his hands.
"Hero Shi sent the message south, that is a great kindness. This is just a small effort, I am ashamed..." The woman also cupped her hands: "I have to rush back to Liaozhou City tonight, I won't say more. If there is a chance in the future, I hope to meet on the battlefield."
A slight smile appeared on her cold face, and then she bid farewell and left. Officials who had come to report earlier were waiting around. Shi Jin watched this strange woman leave, and looked at the busy scene up and down the city wall. The civilians dragged huge stones, shouting numbers, reinforcing the city walls. Organized women and children also participated in it. In the shouts and noises, the faces of the people were also filled
There is fear of the unknown future. More than ten years ago, when the Jurchens invaded the south for the first time, he seemed to have seen similar scenes. People were frantically grasping at every opportunity to build defenses. For more than ten years, everything had been sinking, and that slim hope was still slim.
More than ten years ago, Hero Zhou went to his death generously. More than ten years later, Big Brother Lin also died the same way after reuniting with him.
In these ten years, that great darkness has never faded, and it is finally coming again. Even if we go up to meet it, I am afraid it will only be another round of death.
When will this world end?
The world is about to be in chaos. Thinking of finding Lin Chong's child, Shi Jin left Yueping and headed north again. He knew that soon, a huge vortex would completely crush the order before him, and the possibility of him finding his child would become even slimmer.
But so what…
The same July.
Thousands of miles away, black flags were waving among the undulating hills. The Nizu settlements in the Greater and Lesser Liang Mountains in the southwest were also in a tense and chilling atmosphere.
Since June, when the Black Flag Army's Liu Chengzong led eight thousand troops out of the Liangshan area, and went to Xuzhou to guard the southwest for the Wu Dynasty, the Wuxiang Army, which had had several frictions with the Black Flag Army, began to press the border under the leadership of General Lu Qiaoshan. In early July, nearly 100,000 troops approached the Jinsha River Basin near Liangshan, and drove straight into Huangmaogeng, the hinterland between the Greater and Lesser Liang Mountains, blocking the roads in and out.
At the same time, under the instigation of scholars such as Li Xiannong, who had penetrated deep into the Liangshan hinterland, several Nizu tribes, led by the Mangshan Nizu of Xiaoliangshan, began to be active in the mountains. They either sent warriors to the Black Flag Army's border to set fires, harass, and assassinate, or ravaged the vicinity of the commercial roads originally maintained by the Black Flag Army in the mountains, raiding merchant teams or killing straggling Black Flag soldiers. In a month's time, the commercial trade originally maintained by the Black Flag had been reduced to less than 50% of its original level.
Located in the hinterland of Liangshan, the rice in the fourteen townships of Ji, Heden, and Bulai counties was just ripe. In order to ensure the upcoming autumn harvest, the Xia Army took the strategy of inward contraction and defense as soon as possible. At this time, most of the residents of Heden counties were outsiders, with the most members from Northwest, Xiaocang River, and Qingmu Village, as well as soldiers' families who had moved from the Central Plains. People who had lost their former homes and left their hometowns were particularly eager to take root. They had reclaimed many farmlands in a few years and cultivated them with great care. This autumn, the Mangshan Nizu launched a large-scale attack, with the purpose of setting fires to destroy fields and houses, with killing people as secondary. The people of the surrounding fourteen townships gathered together to form militia volunteers, guarding the fields with the Xia Army soldiers. Large and small conflicts occurred from time to time.
The chaos about to happen in the north of the Central Plains, the starving ghosts raging in the south, Liu Yu's "rebellion", the active preparations for war in Jiangnan, and the sudden tension in the southwest situation, as well as the eight thousand black flags that had jumped to Xuzhou at this time... In this day and age when news circulation was not flexible, there were not many people who could clearly see the inherent connections between many things. Located east of Liangshan, Zizhou Prefecture was one of the most important towns in northern Sichuan. Among the four routes of Sichuan and Shaanxi, it was second only to Chengdu in scale and was also the core of the Wuxiang Army's defense.
Due to this large-scale action of the Wuxiang Army, the situation in Zizhou Prefecture also became tense, but because the Black Flag rebels did not make much movement, the city's security and commerce were not greatly affected. The Fu River and Kai River run through the city, with ships coming and going and prosperous markets. The most lively street and the best brothel in the city, "Yan Nan Lou," were brightly lit. On this day, scholars and great Confucians from the east gathered here, drinking and talking about their ambitions, and exchanging a lot of news and information about the current situation. The gathering was so grand that many local squires and celebrities from Zizhou also came to accompany and participate.
In the past few years, with the efforts of many people who have risked their lives, the suppression and game against the弑君 rebellion has finally been pushed to this moment of red guns and white knives.
In the hall above the brothel, the most prominent person among the participants at this time was a middle-aged man in his thirties. He had a handsome and calm appearance, with bright eyes and a beard under his jaw, which made people admire him. At this time, he only raised his wine glass: "The current situation is that we have finally cut off the arms and ears that the Ning family is extending outwards. Although the rebels are strong, they are facing the Nizu heroes in Liangshan, just like a strong man entering a quagmire, unable to use their strength. As long as we hold up the righteous cause of the imperial court and continue to persuade the Nizu people to gradually cut off their remaining limbs and feet and cut off their food and grass, they will have no way to use their strength and can only gradually weaken, shrink, and even starve to death. The great cause has not been completed, we can only continue to work hard, but in order for things to have the progress they have today, there is one person among us that must not be forgotten... Please raise your glasses, and congratulate Brother Chengmao!"
After he said this, everyone raised their glasses in agreement, sincerely congratulating the person he was talking about. Qin Zheng, who had visited Li Pin in Lin'an earlier, was also in the crowd at this moment, raising his glass and listening to the man's speech, filled with heroic emotions.
"...The rebels are strong and powerful, and must not be underestimated. Now we are assisting Lord Lu in sending troops, seemingly finding the rebels' lifeline, hitting and cutting them off one by one. I don't know how much effort has been spent behind the scenes, and I don't know how many people among us have been poisoned by the rebels in this process. Everyone, the road ahead is not easy, but Long is here, walking with you. Even if the road ahead is a mountain of knives and a sea of fire, the heritage of my Wu Dynasty cannot be broken, and our ambition cannot be taken away—"
The words were loud and deafening. The person speaking in front was Long Qifei, who had personally entered Heden to debate, and later traveled around, encouraging many troops to fight Liangshan. And the "Chengmao" he and the others were calling
It was Li Xiannong, the great Confucian who traveled to the Nizu tribes and united the local people to fight against the Black Flag. The two of them originally ran around with a passion, but later their momentum grew and they finally became the leaders of the scholars who echoed each other. Long Qifei had persuaded various parties to fight without success. This time, the imperial court finally decided to send troops. Long Qifei took the Black Flag intelligence he had secretly collected and cooperated with Lu Qiaoshan of the Wuxiang Army, finally strangling many of the Black Flag Army's commercial routes that had been operating for several years. And in Liangshan, Li Xiannong's successful persuasion of the Mangshan tribe leader Lang Ge also made a key move for this strategy.
The Black Flag Army was strong, but after all, eight thousand elites had already attacked, and it was also the critical moment of the autumn harvest. The usually resource-poor Heden County could only passively shrink back. On the other hand, Long Qifei also knew that Lu Qiaoshan's Wuxiang Army did not dare to fight the Black Flag Army head-on, but as long as the Wuxiang Army temporarily cut off the Black Flag Army's commercial route supply, he would often persuade Lu Qiaoshan. As long as he kept saying the truth that "If the general does these things, the Black Flag will definitely not let it go" and "As long as the opening is opened, the Black Flag is not invincible," he believed that this General Lu would one day be determined to fight the Black Flag head-on.
In these years, the Black Flag Army's record was terrifying. The demon Ning Yi had a hundred tricks. Long Qifei fought against the Black Flag, initially relying on passion and indignation. Walking to this step, even if the Black Flag seemed dull and did not make a move, Long Qifei knew that once the other party counterattacked, the consequences would not be good. However, for the people in front of him, whether they were Confucian scholars who cared about the country or enthusiastic children of wealthy families, riding their horses and joining the army, facing such a powerful enemy, this instigation was enough to make people's blood boil.
As long as the enemy in the mountains can shed the first drop of blood, and then these many scholars generously go to the disaster, and then let some of them return to the capital, asking for war and orders, I believe that the glorious Wu Dynasty will be launched, and there will not only be these 100,000 troops from the Wuxiang Army, nor will there only be the scene in front of me. As long as the world works together, like a vast ocean, this chaotic bandit in the southwest will definitely be unstoppable. And once this弑君 rebellious bandit can be removed and the spine can be straightened again, even if the Jurchens come again from the north, I believe that the millions of people of the Wu Dynasty will be able to fight this time...
With a bang, he put the wine glass back on the table in the cheers of the crowd, heroic and generous.
Long Qifei's generosity did not spread too far.
The night was like water. In the Wuxiang Army camp a hundred miles away from Zizhou, in the military tent, General Lu Qiaoshan was having a cordial conversation with the people from the mountains.
"...As for the matter of sealing the mountain, you also know that the orders from the imperial court have come down, and Lu cannot but execute them. But, from the current point of view, Lu is under a lot of pressure. The orders from the imperial court are not just to guard outside Xiaoliang Mountain and intercept the Jinsha River commercial road. In these years, everyone has not been easy, shouldn't we be considerate of each other? After all, Lu admires that gentleman very much..."
The lights in the tent were dim. Lu Qiaoshan was burly, sitting on a spacious armchair, leaning slightly. His appearance was dignified, but the upward curve of his mouth always gave people a kind and amiable feeling. Even the scar across his mouth did not disturb this feeling. Sitting opposite him was an ordinary man in his thirties with a mustache. The man was thirty years old, and it seemed that he was at the watershed between youth and middle age: At this time, Su Wenfang had a righteous look and a sincere appearance. Facing the general of this army, he had an unyielding attitude that the playboy in Jiangning City more than ten years ago could never have imagined.
"...Of course, the whole thing knows the difficulties of General Lu. Mr. Ning also said that our two sides have been very happy in business in recent years, and Mr. Ning has praised General Lu's character in the mountains. However, since the transfer to the southwest, our Xia Army is only protecting ourselves, and it is very difficult to truly gain a foothold... General Lu also understands that the operation of the commercial road, on the one hand, we hope that the Wu Dynasty can resist the Jurchen's offensive, and on the other hand, this is our Xia Army's sincerity, hoping that one day, you and I can fight against the enemy side by side. After all, our side is named after China, and we never want to have internal strife with the Wu Dynasty again, hurting those close to us and gladdening our enemies."
"Mr. Ning is right." Lu Qiaoshan nodded repeatedly.
"Now this commercial road has been broken." Su Wenfang said: "The grain output in Heden County was originally not much. We sell iron cannons, and we often need to transport grain from outside to make the mountain life enough. This is a must. General Lu, you have cut off the grain road, and something will happen in the mountain sooner or later. Mr. Ning is not three heads and six arms, he cannot conjure up food for 200,000 people. Therefore, we certainly hope that everything can be resolved peacefully, but if it cannot be resolved, Mr. Ning said that he is afraid that he can only take the worst policy. Anyway, the problem must be solved."
"The worst policy?"
"The best soldiers attack the mind."
"Oh... the second attacks the city." Lu Qiaoshan thought for a long time, nodded, then tilted his head and changed his face: "Mr. Ning is threatening me?"
"How dare I..."
"Mr. Ning is threatening me! You are threatening me!" Lu Qiaoshan nodded and gritted his teeth, "That's right, your Black Flag is great, my Wuxiang Army of 100,000 cannot beat you, but how can you look down on me like this? Am I, Lu Qiaoshan, a coward who is afraid of death? I have 100,000 troops at least, and now we also have your iron cannons... I have taken such a big risk for Mr. Ning, I don't say anything, I admire Mr. Ning, but, Mr. Ning looks down on me!?"
He moved his body forward and his eyes finally became fierce, staring at Su Wenfang. Su Wenfang sat there, his expression unchanged, always smiling and watching Lu Qiaoshan. After a while: "Look, General Lu, you misunderstood..."
"Of course it's a misunderstanding." Lu Qiaoshan smiled and sat back, waving his hand: "It's all a misunderstanding, Lu also thinks it's a misunderstanding, in fact, the Xia Army is strong and powerful, how dare my Wuxiang Army fight with it..."
"General Lu misunderstood, when I left the mountain, Mr. Ning talked to me about this matter, he said, I am not afraid of anyone in the Xia Army's fight, but if we really want to fight with the Wuxiang Army, I am afraid it will only be a lose-lose result." Su Wenfang said seriously, word by word. Lu Qiaoshan's expression was slightly stunned, then he sat forward: "Mr. Ning said?"
"Spoken from his own mouth."
Lu Qiaoshan was obviously very happy, smiled and thought for a while, then nodded: "A lose-lose situation."
"We will do our best to solve this problem." Su Wenfang said, "I hope General Lu can also help. After all, if it cannot be solved peacefully, in the end, we can only choose a lose-lose situation."
"What can I help with, Envoy, I have released everything I can."
"Some small help." Su Wenfang smiled, without waiting for Lu Qiaoshan to interrupt, he already said: "My Xia Army, at present, takes trade as the top priority. For many things, after signing the contract and promising the people, some have to be transported in, and some have to be transported out. Now that things have changed, we will not sign new contracts for the time being, but the old ones still have to be fulfilled. General Lu, you can take care of a few businesses here, give me some face, it's not too much, right?"
"Stop, stop, stop..." Lu Qiaoshan stretched out his hand, "Envoy, to be honest, I also want to help, I hope your thing can be reduced to a small matter, but the situation is different, you know how many people and how many eyeliners have come to this southwest land now, those scholars, one by one, can't wait to take away my job immediately, they personally command the army into the mountains, and then return covered in horsehide. Lu is under a lot of pressure, not only the orders from the imperial court, but also the eyes behind it. If I intervene in these things, I can't cover the wind, Lu can't carry the thousand fingers behind it... If I communicate with the enemy during wartime, my family will be destroyed."
"Everyone is not easy, General Lu, we can discuss."
Lu Qiaoshan just waved his hand.
Su Wenfang said seriously: "General Lu, you don't always have to shirk, let me say something practical. When I left the mountain, Mr. Ning once said that he really does not want to fight this war, for a very simple reason, the Jurchens are coming, they are really coming! Eating the Mangshan tribe, eating you, is really a lose-lose situation, we hope to put the real strength on fighting against the Jurchens, if we settle the Jurchens, we still have room to discuss, if the Jurchens settle us, Xia will perish. General Lu, do you really want this?"
Lu Qiaoshan clasped his hands, thought for a moment, and sighed: "Why don't I think so too, but ah... To be frank, my problem, Mr. Ning and Envoy, you can also see it, how about this... Let's carefully, properly discuss a compromise, no one cheats anyone, okay? To be honest, I admire Mr. Ning's wisdom, but ah, he calculates too much, look, so many eyes behind me, the imperial court ordered me to fight you, I refuse to move forward, and secretly help you do things, even if it's a small thing... What if Mr. Ning reveals it?"
Su Wenfang was about to speak, Lu Qiaoshan stretched out his hand: "Lu is a petty person, a petty person."
"There is always a way to think of." Su Wenfang said.
"I also think so, but, we have to find time and think of a way to communicate." Lu Qiaoshan smiled, then said: "Actually ah, you don't know, when you and I are discussing things here, Zizhou Prefecture is very lively, on "Yan Nan Fei", Long Qifei is probably having a big banquet now. To be honest, this time it was all caused by them, a group of rotten Confucians are short-sighted! The Jurchens are about to attack, and they are still thinking about internal strife! Otherwise, Lu will send the news, and the Black Flag will send people to take them all in one pot. Haha..."
Lu Qiaoshan said and laughed, Su Wenfang also laughed: "Hey, let them do it, Mr. Ning doesn't know about Long Qifei, Li Xiannong and others, but he also said, there is nothing wrong with being crazy for pretending, we should not be so narrow-minded... Moreover, this time the matter was not caused by them..."
"Oh, there is nothing wrong with being crazy for pretending... Mr. Ning said?" Lu Qiaoshan asked.
Su Wenfang nodded.
"There is philosophy, there is philosophy... Write it down, write it down." Lu Qiaoshan muttered in his mouth. He left the seat and went to the desk next to him, picked up a small notebook and a brush, and began to seriously write down this sentence on it. Su Wenfang frowned, and had to follow. Lu Qiaoshan praised this sentence, and the two discussed the whole thing again. After a while, Lu Qiaoshan sent Su Wenfang out.
This was not the main tent. The surroundings seemed remote and quiet. After Su Wenfang said goodbye to Lu Qiaoshan, he turned and left. After walking not far, his face was calm and expressionless. Lu Qiaoshan stood outside the tent, waving his hand with a smile. After Su Wenfang left for a while, someone came out of the tent and walked behind him. Lu Qiaoshan's face also became solemn and majestic.
Appearing behind
It was Lu Qiaoshan's strategist, Zhi Junhao: "General, what do you think, which sentence of this envoy is true, and which is false?"
"What does Brother Zhi mean?"
"It refers to the fact that Heden County's foundation is not stable and it is difficult to support it. Is it deliberately showing weakness, or is it treating the truth as a lie?"
"Ning Yi is just a mortal, not a god. The roads in Liangshan are rugged and the resources are scarce. He is not feeling well, it must be true."
"Then how does the general choose?"
"...Brother Zhi, the Black Flag Army in front of us, in the southwest, seems to have been dormant for six years, but if you think about it carefully, the Battle of Xiaocang River was only completely ended three years ago. This army has been fighting against millions of troops in the north, and the record of beheading Wanyan Lou Shi and Ci Bushi is only three or four years ago. Long Qifei, Li Xiannong and others are just naive and delusional rotten Confucians who think that cutting off the commercial road is to suppress people with the general trend of the world. They don't know who they are provoking at all. The Black Flag Army is kind to people, but the tiger is just dozing off. This person is right, the tiger will not always doze off... If the Black Flag Army is forced into the worst result, the Wuxiang Army will be crushed to pieces."
Zhi Junhao looked at Lu Qiaoshan from the side. Lu Qiaoshan spoke, looking down at the booklet in his hand. The fact that he admired Ning Yi and occasionally wrote down some strange words of Ning Yi was circulated in the innermost circle. The Black Flag and the Wuxiang Army had been doing business for a long time, and many close people knew about it. However, not many people could understand that since the Black Flag Army settled in the southwest, Lu Qiaoshan had repeatedly inquired about and studied Ning Yi, thinking about his thoughts, speculating about his psychology, and also repeatedly and exhaustively simulating the situation of confronting him...

"...Brother Zhi ah... How can the name of China be taken away by a group of such rebellious bandits?"
