32, story 1
"Kill the guide Zhou and his two subordinates, walk on Xiaoguan Road, avoid the Han army's troops, and everyone will be able to return to Liangzhou!"
There are two main roads to return to Longyou from the Sanfu land. One is the Longguan Road that the Liangzhou coalition forces invaded Sanfu along Longguan, Fengxian and Yumi. The other is what Ganling said, passing along the Jingshui line through Qixian, Fengyi and Gaoping Xiaoguan Road.
Longguan Road is close to the distance but the terrain is dangerous. There are Han troops stationed along the way. It is definitely difficult for people like Yan Xing to go back according to the original route. Although it requires a detour and a long distance to walk on Xiaoguan Road, it can avoid the large Han troops, which is relatively safe.
Yan Xing understood what Gan Ling meant. After he was defeated, he also wanted to return to Liangzhou quickly. However, after the oxtail gathering, the captive camp and other matters, he had already begun to make a new decision.
Two years ago, before Yan Xing left his home to march eastward, Yan's father warned him when he was leaving, "There is something that can be done in the world, but it is not possible to do it. If the enemy is trapped, it will not fight, and it will make the hardness worse." When the Oxtail gathers with Yan's teacher to talk about the general trend of the world, Yan's teacher mentioned that he is "the most tough and easy to break, and the best is like water, and he will fight with the world and suffer the consequences."
However, Yan Xing, who was reborn, was always dissatisfied with fate and did not take these words completely in his heart. He claimed to be a hero of savior and always believed in the classic discussion of the world in the "Seven Generations" of Su Che in the later generations:
"Heroic people can be achieved by the power of the world. There is no such thing as the power of the world. However, heroic people often enter the gaps and persevere but remain unchanged. Therefore, the power of the world is achieved and cannot be solved!"
In the past, Qin lost its deer, and the world chased it, and those who were scrambling to be able to get it. Now, the Han Dynasty has declined, the destiny of heaven has changed, and the heroes have used their lives. The reborn Yan Xing himself was also determined to work hard, thinking about taking advantage of the situation like other heroes in this turbulent feast of chaos in the world.
Unfortunately, his life was difficult and he had a difficult journey. First, he lost most of his soldiers in Chen Cang's pursuit battle. Later, when he used the "empty city strategy" to save the oxtail gathering mountain people, he failed because of the leak of a mountain prisoner. He eventually fell into the prisoner camp and became a "bandit" who was a minion and driven by people.
Yan Xing also realized some truths in the troubled times through this series of setbacks and blows, and Yan Xing also had a new understanding of the general trend of the world.
"Ascend with the trend, grow with the momentum, prosper with the momentum, and become prosperous with the momentum." This is the way to judge the momentum and use the momentum and identify the momentum to plan the momentum. Yan Xing had already seen the path of the door, and his urgent desire to return to Liangzhou was calmed down.
Even if he rushed back to Liangzhou at this moment, he could not save the overall situation of the collapse of the coalition. Han Sui used a knife to kill people, and used the Han army to destroy his biggest enemy, the power of the Wang family father and son in the pursuit of Chen Cang. At present, in Jincheng, the Han family was already the dominant family, and it was very likely to sweep Liangzhou in one fell swoop. However, Yan Xing could foresee that a "Ma family army" would soon take the opportunity to compete with Han Sui for Liangzhou. In addition, Song Jian of the Han people in Heguan, the thieves of Linqiang, the Tuo family of Linqiang, the Huang family of Jiuquan and other powerful families in Liangzhou, plus the Qiang people, Lushui Hu people and other Qiang Di Hu people, these complex local forces would never let the Jincheng Han family dominate Liangzhou for the needs of their own interests.
Liangzhou is now like a big game that has collapsed completely. The once-held Yiqiu has been abandoned nakedly. The forces of various countries no longer pretend to be sensible, and they directly encircle land and separate counties, revealing the true face of the "local emperor". After Chen Cang and Niu Tai Gathering, Yan Xing no longer has hope for the future of the Liangzhou coalition, nor is he arrogant, thinking that with himself or the small Yan family, he could defeat the heroes of Liangzhou and make a breakthrough in Longyou.
After all, Yan Xing's strength is too weak. In the chaotic times, whether it is separatist and self-protection or fighting for dominance of the world, it is essential to have a strong army. "Heroes can be achieved by the momentum of the world." Therefore, what Yan Xing needs most now is to take advantage of the momentum. When he was in the captive camp, he turned his attention to Dong Jun.
Yan Xing, who was reborn, may not know the specific plot of the defeat of the coalition forces Chen Cang, but he is definitely aware of the familiar story of "Dong Zhuo entered the capital and the princes attacked Dong". He was waiting for the price and originally regarded Xu Kun and his uncle as his own buyers, but unexpectedly, Xu Rong, the long-time general in Dong's camp, was the Han general who defeated his family on the edge of the Fengshui River.
Therefore, when facing Li Ru, Yan Xing had no other choice. He could only bow down and obey Li Ru's orders, and turned into a "bandit" that disrupted the local area. When Zhou Liang encouraged everyone to attack the fort, he deliberately leaked some inside stories about Dongying to Yan Xing, including Li Ru's plan to install trusted generals and officials in Dongying. No matter what purpose Zhou Liang's words were, whether they were true or false. When the matter was about to come, Yan Xing had no choice but to place half of his hopes on Li Ru, hoping that after he made contributions, he could use Li Ru's power to whitewash the rebels' identity.
But at this time, when facing Gan Ling, who was eager to return home, Yan Xing had many words in his heart, but he couldn't speak for a while. After a long time, Yan Xing slowly exhaled and said:
"Aling, I haven't told a story for a long time. I'll tell you another story tonight!"
"Okay, Ling has always loved to listen to the story of his elder brother, but he doesn't know which hero to tell tonight or the famous general of the previous dynasty?"
Gan Ling was a little surprised when he heard Yan Xing's answer to the question, but he knew that Yan Xing had always been steady and meaningful in his affairs, so he smiled without any mind and asked as Yan Xing said.
Yan Xing smiled and said:
"Tonight we will not talk about heroes or famous generals. We will tell the story of our Liang people."
Gan Ling immediately sat upright, and he said with a serious look:
"I hope to hear it carefully!"
"I'm talking about a Liang man in the chaotic world in the late Han Dynasty. Speaking of which, this Liang man is much better than us. He was famous at Longshang when he was young, and was conquered by prefectures and counties. He went to Chang'an Taixue and received the recommendation of the Taishi of the dynasty. When the world was in chaos, he raised his flag and gathered his clans and stood up with the trend. The heroes from all directions rushed to his command. In the blink of an eye, the extremely powerful enemies in the past were given heads in front of him. Wherever his troops were pointed, Longxi, Wudu, Jincheng, Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang and other counties were all vested. Liangzhou was soon taken into his possession. He seized the land of Longyou and became a valiant striking the land."
Hearing this, Gan Ling was also relaxed and exclaimed loudly at the Liangzhou hero that Yan Xing said:
Chapter completed!
