Sixty-four [air luck, my old Deng is not bad money]
At Yongsheng Gate (South Gate), Liangzhou, Deng Jun was lined up in three rows, like a long snake rushing into the city gate.
In the middle of the team, Deng Kui was full of energy, riding a tall horse, following Zhong Qi and Mei Wen, and walked into the city.
"It's thanks to Master Hong to help me with his magical skills, otherwise this Liangzhou City could block a 100,000 army with its strong and thick walls..." Deng Kui rode on his horse and walked slowly forward. Seeing the thick wall more than two feet high (nearly ten meters) and said with emotion.
The Liangzhou city wall is dozens of miles wide, and the south gate alone is seven or eight miles long. The city is two or seven feet high and nine feet thick. It is purely built with blue bricks and poured glutinous rice slurry. It has been immortal for hundreds of years and is the most solid.
The two gates in the southwest also have a moat three meters deep, leading the Han River in the east gate to irrigate, surrounded by mountains in the north, and the Han River hundreds of steps wide in the west. It has always been a place of beauty, easy to defend but difficult to attack.
If there were more than 10,000 archers in the city and powerful crossbows, there would be another navy in the Han River to block a hundred thousand troops, it would be nothing more than empty talk.
Zhong Qi was silent on the side, feeling depressed and cursed the lord of a state to death. Although most of the backlash was resisted by Lao Deng, he was still implicated.
Deng Kui has the blessing of the Qianshou and Deng’s army in several counties, and the fortune has become a statue of the vast and hidden dragon.
In addition, taking down Liangzhou and controlling the lives and death of the people is equivalent to increasing the luck and blessing of hundreds of thousands of people. The backlash of He Yinggong in the mantra of death is like the skin for Deng Kui.
In contrast, Zhong Qi was just a Taoist in the wilderness. Except for more than ten Taoist in the temple and a few powerful landlords who believed in him, he basically had no aura.
If luck is divided into numbers, from low to high, it is the white energy of ordinary people, the red energy of scholars, the gold energy of noble people, the green energy of state officials, and the purple energy of emperors.
Zhong Qi once looked at the mirror and looked at himself. His energy was like a lotus flower, with a hint of red air in the white. He was worse than the landlord and powerful, but definitely better than ordinary people.
Now the fortune of a state is backfiring, even if it is just one of them, it still causes Zhong Qi to lose his energy. He uses the Qi-observation technique to look at himself in the mirror. It is already a black cloud that is pressing against the top, and the red auspicious energy is gone and turns into ordinary white.
Moreover, there are also wisps of black air that keep falling from the void, dyeing the white air into gray and black. In other words, it looks like an unlucky person, so he is so upset that he doesn't want to take the blame.
On the other hand, Mei Culture, who was standing aside, was overjoyed and said to Deng Kui: "With this kind of land of beauty, you can go out of Qinling Mountains in the north and attack Guanzhong. In the south, you can turn Jianmenxia Road and resist Bashu.
It connects to Longyou in the west, and there is no shortage of horses. It looks at the Central Plains in the east, and can travel business and enrich the people. It can be said to be the basis of controlling the north and south, and the king's business."
Seeing that everyone was happy, Deng Kui nodded and smiled, and pointed at Jiangshan: "The Han River is connected to Mianyang, and can buy specialties in Huguang, and it is rich in business.
The land in Hanzhong Basin is fertile. If you buy more oxen from Longyou, you can reclaim a large amount of fertile land. In this way, you can recruit soldiers, strengthen your military, and flatten the world."
This statement is a bit crazy. Compared with hundreds of states in the world, Liangzhou is only a corner of the world. How can it resist the world? However, if Qin, Feng, Cheng and four states are added, Guanzhong is flattened and the Tartars are expelled, it should be enough.
While everyone was talking, they passed the city gate and passed the door hole. The streets were connected in all directions. Countless people, officers and soldiers knelt on the street, their faces were numb and their eyes were dull. They were forced to a pot of nectar by the old official who had just surrendered to welcome the "King Army"
Deng Kui rode a tall horse slowly across the street, his face full of energy and ignored the people who were kneeling.
Since the troubled times, he has captured the county town and has seen many such situations. At first, he thought the people were really enthusiastic, and he wanted to greet them warmly, but now he has become accustomed to them.
Zhong Qi sighed in his heart that when he first came, people were rich in livelihood and the people were content. Nowadays, the prosperity and ban on the past were all gone. I wonder what the people of Liangzhou would have changed Deng Kui to take charge of the government.
After thinking about it, he turned to Deng Kui and said, "Han Gong, I would rather not be promoted than reward, but I have something to ask for."
Seeing Zhong Qi who had been silent for a long time, Deng Kui said gently: "Master Hong just said it's okay, let it all be."
"Thank you, I want to ask the Han Gong to restrain the soldiers, not to hurt the people, not to rob money, burn houses, and to be good at governing the country and cultivating people's livelihood. I hope it is fair."
In troubled times, soldiers passed by like bandits, and they often massacred the city. Deng’s army suffered thousands of casualties in the previous period. Zhong Qi was afraid that Deng Kui would be angry and gave a military order such as “After breaking the city, you will not be sealed for three days”.
"Haha... Master Hong is worried. I am also from the countryside. I know the sufferings of the people and dare not harm the people. If there is tyranny in the future, Master Hong will do it and take my life." Deng Kui nodded with a smile, but his eyes were meaningful.
Although Zhong Qi was different from military affairs, he was so smart. When he saw Deng Kui's expression, he understood his intentions and said, "This time he went out of the mountain, he received a generous reward from the Han Gong, and saw that China is rich in wealth. I will go back to the mountain to practice tomorrow and never go down the mountain..."
"Master Hong is very good at Taoism, and he should expel the Tartars and support the country, and his reputation will be passed down forever in future generations. Where can I say this?" Deng Kui's eyes flashed and he stared at Zhong Qidao.
"I am a person outside of my world, and my country, fame and fortune have nothing to do with me. I will be free only after I go back to the mountains to practice, study the scriptures, discuss the Tao and watch chess, and then I will be free. Don't let the Han Duke stay?" Zhong Qi chuckled, his words sincere.
At this moment, more than ten officials in front, including green or red clothes, took off their black sand porridge heads, all of which were covered with loose hair, were escorted by several soldiers, and knelt in the street.
The old official in the red robe, covered with yellow silk on the Duanmu board, took the lead in worshiping Deng Kuima and said, "The criminal official has not known the number of days, and has stopped the royal army. Now he has repented. He is here to apologize and offer Liangzhou household registration, seal, order, and ask the general for forgiveness."
Seeing this, Deng Kui smiled at Zhong Qi, turned his head to the criminals and others and said, "You have made contributions to your merits, and you will not be guilty or not, and you will not be forgiven for your death.
After the review, the guilty will be imprisoned and the innocent will be released. Those with talent will be willing to govern the people for the sake of officials and the people, and they can recommend it.”
The officials inmates were overjoyed and hurriedly stood up to support Deng Kui and walked towards the prefecture yard, while praising Deng Kui's merits and benevolence and righteousness, but no one remembered the little benefits of Taoist Zhong.
Then the troops of various troops entered the city one after another, with a total of more than 6,000, guarding various places. Liangzhou was completely captured by the Deng army, and since then the surname was Deng.
The city was filled with flags of the kings, and Han and Fengxiangjie Town were planted all over the city. The flags of the old days were long abandoned.
The next morning, Zhong Qi arrived at the prefecture yard, and Deng Kui stood up under the clothes of several maids. When he saw Zhong Qi coming, Deng Kui took his maid back and presented her with fragrant tea with fruits.
After chatting for a few words, he resigned to Deng Kui. Deng Kui said in confusion: "Can I not be able to entertain you well, or I feel wronged there, why are you in a hurry to leave?"
Zhong Qi said: "I have lost my merits recently. It is better to return to the mountains, cultivate qi and practice the truth, and seek the Tao with all my heart.
Furthermore, people outside the world did not live in the world for a long time, and were hindered from their practice. Since the Han Gong had already gone to Liangzhou, I was not in line with military and political affairs, so it would be useless to stay."
Seeing this, Deng Kui had nothing to say, so he kept him and said, "It depends on the achievements of Master Hong, so how can he not be promoted? Master Hong is dedicated to the Tao, and I will not be able to keep him.
I just asked Master Hong to stay for a few days, and wait for me to send a memorial to Jinling, asking Your Majesty to enthrone the title of Master Hong and Wushan, and it will not be too late to leave afterwards."
Zhong Qi was stunned when he heard this and enthroned the name of Wushan. This was an opportunity to send Yang Guangda to his family. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "It's good that way, thank you Mr. Han."
Deng Kui also smiled and called someone to get a plate of silver and handed it to Zhong Qi: "I heard that there are some specialties in Liangzhou. I have been busy with military affairs these days, so I cannot take the time to ask Master Hong to taste it.
I only gave some money to Master Hong, and I was playing and wandering in the market. If I like something, I would buy it, and it would be insufficient. I would like to say hello to someone, and I would send it again."
Zhong Qi turned on the red cloth on the plate and saw that it was two large silver ingots with fists, both of which were fifty taels and one hundred taels, so he refused and said the evil saying, wrapping people in red cloth into his arms.
