Chapter 27: Excitement
The skylight shone through the window and the carpet was covered with noise. The house finally calmed down after a long night. The two of them lay on the bed in large shapes, covered their chests with quilts, and were wet and panting, without any image.
The Saint Ji looked at Fang Liang with empty eyes and murmured weakly: "I thought I might come this day, but I didn't expect it to come so early... I still feel it's too sudden when I think about it."
Li Ye laughed twice tired and proudly, "Everything suddenly happened, but it was actually the boat that reached the bridge head."
The great monk's physique is different. Some trauma can recover in a blink of an eye, and he can toss all night long at the first night. The old man Li Ye, who has been plowing the ground almost all night, cannot withstand such heavy work, and now he is too lazy to move his fingers.
The two girls who eavesdropped outside the window finally felt bored after more than an hour of vocalization and dispersed together. Now I don’t know if they have come here, but Li Ye still thinks that someone is waiting for him to wash up.
Saint Ji raised a snow-white arm from the quilt, leaned against Li Ye's cheek without even looking at it, and pressed his proud laughter, "Stop laughing, let me sleep for a while. Don't ask me if the meal is not ready...it must be the meal you made in person. I have to make it up today."
"..." Li Ye felt that he was the one who needed to make up for it.
The ridiculousness did not happen in the daytime. After Li Ye took a break, he got up and called Shao Siming, who was full of curiosity and resentment in his eyes, and asked him to come in to take care of his washing.
After preparing hot water for the bathtub, the girl looked disgusted and didn't take the sweat towel. She twisted her fingers and passed by Li Ye's back and shoulders casually. This was just wiped. After Li Ye pinched her delicate and small face in a strange way, she barely became honest.
After Li Ye had a meal, the military newspapers continued to spread to him. After Shangguan Qingcheng occupied Weizhou, he dispersed 100,000 troops under his command in units of 5,000. The military disciples took them to attack cities and plunder the land everywhere. He personally led the main force of the Wolf-fang Army to Minzhou.
Half a month later, six or seven Hexi prefectures around Minzhou and south were all captured by 100,000 troops. After Shangguan Qingcheng arrived in Minzhou, he hurriedly met Li Ye and led his army to the north to defend the dangerous pass.
The territory of the Lugu tribe of the Tubo tribe of Hexi was lost nearly half in less than a month. As military information spread throughout Hexi, all the Tubo tribes were shocked.
Although Tubo originated from the plateau, the plateau is an extremely poor place with very few places to live. The environment cannot afford the large-scale reproduction and survival of the Tubo people. The royal city in the plateau valley is not as large as a prefecture city in Hexi.
Speaking of which, there are many Tubo tribes, but in fact, there are very few people in each tribe, and most of them live not much different from savages. Apart from being tough, there is nothing to be desired. Those Tubo people who claim to be nobles basically live less than an ordinary little landlord in the Central Plains prefectures and counties.
Therefore, Tubo has been conquering Hexi since he captured Hexi, and the main forces have moved here. Li Ye thought that as long as the Tubo people in Hexi were solved - the Liugu tribe and the Wenmo tribe, the forces of the Tubo tribes on the plateau were no different from Caojie in front of his army of monks.
The Hexi incident changed drastically, and the news came back to Guanzhong, which immediately caused a stir in the court and the country.
Li Yan had a rare last time in the court meeting. He had just sat on the throne during the grand ceremony. Before his butt was hot, he was so shocked that he stood up from his seat by the generous and tyrannical officials who asked for battle.
Seeing their eyes red and their teeth and claws are all over, there is no difference between Feng Yi, the important minister, and the tiger and wolf. This makes people unsurprising that even civil officials who are not good at cultivation and combat power can pounce on the Tubo warriors and bite their blood.
The Tang Dynasty has been insuffering from Tubo for a long time!
The Tang people hated Tubo for too long!
Both sides have long been as deep as the sea of hatred!
Since the Anshi Rebellion broke out and the border defense of the Tang Dynasty was empty, Tubo rushed down from the plateau like a dog, seizing some of the Western Regions and the entire Hexi. The Tubo people were stained with countless blood from the Tang Dynasty border troops and the people, especially the old story of capturing Chang'an, which left a huge mark of shame in the hearts of the proud Tang Dynasty.
Now, King An recovered the Qizhou of Hexi in the blink of an eye with just some monks and 100,000 soldiers. This was unprecedented inspiration for the Tang people's spirit.
Join King An to counterattack Hexi! Counterattack Tubo!
Once you avenge your past shame, it is now!
This is the voice of every passionate Tang Dynasty man at present.
The intense trend formed by this intense emotion soon swept from Guanzhong to the Central Plains, Hebei, Jianghuai, Jiangnan, Chu, and even all the prefectures and counties in the Tang Dynasty.
After the excitement of the crowd, the hearts of the people from all over the world were gathered together again. They were loyal to the court to serve the country. After experiencing the disappointment of the Huang Chao Rebellion and the chaos of the heroes' struggle for hegemony, they once again became the sincere pursuit of the kind and ambitionist, and the first choice for the passionate boy to realize the value of life.
Under this circumstance, Li Ye's reputation quickly rose to a big step.
The most direct effect was that the garrisons and officers and generals sent to the Central Plains, Huainan and various small vassal areas were greatly supported, and the transfer of power and the progress of military and political affairs were particularly smooth.
Although Li Ye is far away in Minzhou, he also feels this trend that human power cannot compete with.
The power of the people's luck gathered towards him like waves. His speed, intensity, and range were almost impossible to believe.
Especially today when Li Ye's personal fortune and the fortune of the dynasty gradually merged with the fortune of the dynasty, the impact on him when the power of the fortune of the people gathered together made him feel even more shocked.
In this situation, Li Ye felt that the Golden Immortal Realm was close to him.
"I used to think that in order to make most people return home, I must completely conquer Hexi. I didn't expect that just now, it caused such a strong reaction from all over the world. It seems that I was wrong before, underestimating the Tang people's yearning and expectation for the prosperous Tang Dynasty. If they see a little hope, they will burst into unimaginable power..."
Li Ye thought so.
He re-reached the brave Tang people and realized what the glory of the Tang Dynasty was.
It is a kind of demeanor that even if I can’t eat enough, as long as the foreign race dares to set foot in our country, I will twist the knife without hesitation and give up my own family’s one acre of land and rush forward to fight desperately.
Not very rational, just heroic.
People living on this land have not become sheep in this era, and are far from there.
They were just tired of civil strife, so no matter how Li Ye showed his power in the country before, he could never get the loyalty of most people very quickly. They were just too eager to avenge their shame from outside, so Li Ye has just recovered some prefectures and counties a little and received such a strong gift.
Li Ye felt a lot of emotion.
There are good feelings and bad feelings.
The power of luck in the people in the Tang Dynasty gathered up to explode and quickly, but the luck of the Han people in Hexi had increased less than he expected.
Much less.
Li Ye soon felt that the power of luck of the Han people in Hexi was not completely unmoved, but it seemed like a cloud covered with a layer of darkness on their heads, making them seem to be trapped in a quagmire. Even though they were moving and struggling, they could not get out for a moment.
The power of luck of the Han people in Hexi was related to the victory or defeat of the battle between him and the son of the Moon God Sect, and Li Ye did not dare to be careless.
As soon as the thought moved, Li Ye's consciousness suddenly emanated from afar, turning into hundreds of eyes to observe the situation of the Han people everywhere.
This is also the ability he just obtained. It is a new way to observe the people of the world after he recovered the Qizhou of Hexi and furthered the cultivation level of the Emperor Dao.
......
Lanzhou in the northern part of Minzhou has always been an important place in Hexi, and Jincheng County is the capital of its prefecture.
The Zhang family in Jincheng County is one of the rare Han people here, and the genealogy can be traced back to the end of the Han Dynasty. Over the past few years, the Zhang family has experienced several declines and prosperity in Jincheng County, and is still able to stand firm. It is not only because of its excellent practice, but also the four words "farming and reading to pass on family traditions".
Zhang Zhongli is over 60 years old and has been lifting the burden of the head of the family for many years. Now, in addition to reading and writing, he is also taking care of several acres of thin fields that he has cultivated in the backyard.
As the sun sets, Zhang Zhongli, who was stained with many soil stains on his hemp clothes, hunched over, carried a hoe and came out of the field, and stepped into the yard with the last ray of sunlight.
Along the way, he gently beat his back with his thin hands from time to time.
When you entered the moon gate, you saw the middle-aged man standing solemnly waiting in the yard. There was a smile in the wrinkles at the corners of your eyes, "You, the head of the family who has been busy every day, have you not seen me, a useless old man. What good things did you encounter today?"
The middle-aged man Zhang Xun is the eldest son of Zhang Zhongli and the current head of the Zhang family.
Facing Zhang Zhongli's joke, Zhang Xun asked calmly after saluting seriously: "Yesterday, my father met several elderly people from a big family and talked to each other for a long time in the secret room. His son was daring to ask what his father had talked to his uncles?"
Zhang Zhongli put the hoe in the corner of the wall and patted the dirt and dust on his body with dry rags. Then he looked at Zhang Xun, "Is this the reason why you can't wait to ask me if you don't wait for me to sit down and take a breath, nor do you give me tea and ask me for peace?"
Zhang Xun's face changed slightly, and hesitated to kneel down on the ground without hesitation, kneeling down to Zhang Zhongli for a big bow. His tone was grief and angry, anxious and anxious, "Father! My son knows that you have always cared about the Han Dynasty. At the beginning, Zhang Yichao was on the rise. You led your tribe members to join several major families to respond, fighting with the Tubo people for three days and three nights. In the case of unfavorable war, you still attacked the city lord's mansion and didn't care whether a kidney was picked up by the Tubo people with a long sword... But it was because of this that the Zhang family had only... "
"shut up!"
Zhang Zhongli suddenly shouted angrily, and his face, which was like the bark of the old tree, turned red, "What I did back then is worthy of the court, the conscience, and the teachings of ancestors. Is it the one who can comment on you, the ruthless son?!"
After saying a word, his body shook, his eyes turned black, and he reached out to hold the corridor column before he did not fall.
In the bloody battle, he lost a kidney and suffered from trauma. His foundation was greatly damaged, and his cultivation was not much left. His health has been getting worse every day. In a rage, how could he withstand it, who had just returned from the field?
"Father!"
Seeing Zhang Zhongli's appearance, Zhang Xun screamed in grief, and his face was covered with tears. He walked to the other party's feet with his knees, hugged the other party and cried bitterly: "Father! My son knows that you have heard that the court sent troops to Hexi this time. When you meet your uncles and uncles, you also want to respond again, but it won't work! The Tubo people are powerful, and the Moon God Cult is at its peak. We will not be able to disobey them, otherwise we will suffer a sudden disaster!
"When Zhang Yichao was in charge, his father fought bloody battles, and Lanzhou also nominally surrendered to him, but what was the result? Zhang Yichao was recalled to Chang'an by the court, called promotion, but in fact, it was surveillance. The Guiyi army was in decline in a blink of an eye, and the Tubo people made a comeback. Our Zhang family man was slaughtered, and the family industry was wiped out, leaving only some thin fields to live... If it weren't for the fact that the big families still had some people's hearts, the Zhang family would have ceased to exist long ago, how could they survive until now?
"Father! In recent years, many masters of the Moon God Sect have emerged, and the Son of God has communicated with the Moon God, which is a sign of great cause. Please listen to your son's advice. King An cannot win. Even if he makes a quick victory, he will only be like Zhang Yichao. Don't have extravagant hopes, otherwise the family will never be doomed..."
Hearing this, Zhang Zhongli could no longer bear it. He squirted out an old mouthful of blood, closed his eyes, and fell down.
"Father, father..."
