The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 356
Hu Xuannv, Hu Xuannv.The heart responds to the strings, and the hands respond to the drums.

With a sound of stringed drums, both sleeves are raised.Back to Xuepiao, turn to Pengwu.

……

The seasons of Tianbao are about to change, and all the courtiers and concubines learn to turn around.

Among them is Taizhen Wailu Mountain, and the two of them are the most capable.

——Excerpt from "Hu Xuan Nu" Bai Juyi
……

After Li Xuexuan finished speaking, Bai Fu's reaction surprised him.All the way to the south, anyone who heard the battle situation either cried bitterly and wiped away tears for the disastrous defeat of the army;

Only Bai Fu remained silent, his face as flat as a lake.Only the eyes are flickering and flickering.

Li Xuexuan was very curious, and couldn't help but asked: "Yang Guozhong's treachery misled the country, which led to the fall of Tongguan. The success fell short, and the good situation was lost. Are you not depressed? Nor are you angry?"

With a calm expression, Bai Fu said, "Yang Guozhong is just the last straw that broke the camel's back. The Anlu Mountain Rebellion began with the feudal town. From now on, if you listen to Li Linfu's words, the disaster has already been buried. The military and financial power of the feudal town [-]. The political power is assigned to one person, and the Hu people are deliberately allowed to serve as the Jiedu envoy. With this kind of institutional arrangement, even if An Lushan does not rebel, other Hu people will rebel.

In other words, Imakami and Li Xiang are the culprits, and they cannot escape the blame.

But from another point of view, misfortunes and blessings are good things.Only when the situation has come to this point and people's minds change, will the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty look forward to the crown prince's succession.

Things have come to this point, it is meaningless to sigh and sigh, the key is how to deploy the next step.Judging from the current short-sighted formation of troops in Anlu Mountain, I will know the outcome from this. "

Li Xuexuan cupped her hands and asked for advice, "Master, please teach me?"

Bai Fu did not rush, imitating the appearance of General Zhongsi, stroked his long beard, and said slowly: "

The Art of War says 'five things and seven strategies', the classics are based on the five things of 'the law of heaven and earth', and the school uses seven strategies to find out the situation, know the victory or defeat, and then raise troops for a decisive battle.

First, who is the master?
An Lushan's division came out of no name, and his generals such as Shi Siming, Cai Xide, Sun Xiaozhe, etc., plundered and looted, slaughtered cities and surrendered, without the heart and wisdom to compete in the Central Plains, and could not be the master of the world.

Second, who will be capable?What is the law?What is the reward and punishment?
On the other hand, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi's army, when they went out of Hebei, did not massacre prisoners of war, and did not burn, kill or loot.The butcher is the one who can only kill bloodthirstyly, and the famous general is the one who can sympathize with the common people and stop the killing and stop the war.

Third, what is the world?
The An Lushan army occupied Chang'an, the battle line was too long, and the supplies were insufficient. Once the Tang army cut off its food roads, or the green forest gangs along the way, heroes and rangers rose up to form a rebel army, harassing them day and night, dividing and attacking them, making them hard to defend.The An Lushan army could only hide in the city for defense.

Once the Yan army is restrained by the rebels, the royal family of Li and Tang can choose a place as the accompanying capital and order the soldiers and horses of the world to be kings.

The Jianghuai area is the financial and taxation center of the Tang Dynasty, and it is still under the control of the Tang army.The waterways in the south of the Yangtze River are crisscrossed, and the water network is densely covered. The barbarian cavalry has no advantage and it is difficult to seize.

Once the supply line of grain, grass and supplies from the important towns in the Jianghuai River to the Tang army on all roads is established, it will be the day for the Tang army to counterattack.Over time, the Yan army will be defeated!Jiangshan Sheji, return to Datang!

Fourth, who is stronger among the soldiers?Who should the soldiers practice?

From the current point of view, the reason why the Yan army was able to drive straight in and the Tang army retreated steadily was because the Tang army was not prepared enough.The Tang army fighting against the rebels was improvised.Once the Yan army met the elite Shuofang army and Anxi army, the Yan army's advantage disappeared. "

……

Bai Fu calmed down and talked eloquently, Li Xuexuan's beautiful eyes sparkled when he listened.It seemed that the person sitting in front of him was not a doctor, but Zhuge Wuhou with a feather fan and a scarf.

Li Xuexuan finally couldn't help asking: "Aren't you a doctor in Youfang? How can you be so familiar with military affairs?"

Embarrassed, Bai Fu waved his hands again and again, saying: "On paper, it's just on paper."

Li Xuexuan smiled without saying a word, and stopped asking.

Listening to what you say is better than reading ten years of books.Bai Fu's self-confidence really infected Li Xuexuan.From Luoyang all the way to the west, it was devastated, ruined, and the Tang army was defeated. It was indeed depressing and hopeless.

Bai Fu is like Guo Jia, the military commander who talked about ten victories and ten defeats back then.If these words can be spread, the desperate Tang army and civilians will regain their confidence in defeating the Yan army.

That night, Li Xuexuan took advantage of the firelight to write down Bai Fu's political comments one by one, and sealed them in wax pills.

In the distance under the moon, Bai Fu leaned against a big tree and fell asleep calmly, with the light of the toad reflected on his face.

……

As soon as you enter the Shu Road, you will see green valleys with smoke, flowing springs and waterfalls, and the cloud of war hanging over Guanzhong disappears.

Standing proudly at the mountain pass, overlooking the peaks, "the long wind drives the pines and cypresses, and the sound blows the valleys. People in the mountains are self-righteous, and the road is dangerous and the heart is calm."

The three of them were in a good mood immediately, but they were all gloomy for several days.Even Yang Yuhuan smiled, talking and laughing with Li Xuexuan.

Because of Xuanzong and Yang Guozhong, Bai Fu didn't like Yang Yuhuan very much, and even felt a little hostile.Traveling all the way south, gradually getting to know her, only then did she realize that although Yang Yuhuan is a noble concubine, she is actually an extremely simple person.

Yang Yuhuan lost her father when she was about ten years old, and was fostered at the home of her third uncle Yang Xuanzhen in Luoyang.Therefore, we attach great importance to family ties, and sincerely hope that the clansmen will be favored by the Holy One.

Yang Yuhuan is in the deep palace, only interested in rhythm, singing and dancing, never involved in politics, and knows little about the arrogance and domineering of the 'Five Yangs'.I don't even know that Mrs. Guo, Yang Guozhong and others are as rich as the enemy.

Several times Bai Fu mentioned that 'Wuyang' was a disaster for the capital, seeing Li Xuexuan's unbearable eyes, he left half a sentence on his lips, but finally he didn't say anything.

……

On the cliffs of the Shu Road, there are many exotic flowers and herbs: deer live grass is mainly used to treat wounds, grazing grass can detoxify, the petals of xun grass nourish yin and nourish yang, make people fair and beautiful, the fruit prolongs life, revives life and suspends life...

Bai Fu asked Li Xuexuan to help collect flowers and plants, and boil them into medicine.Yang Yuhuan took it every day, and after a few days, her complexion became rosy, and the erysipelas of resurgence was completely eliminated.

Yang Yuhuan thanked him and said: "Mr. is so skilled in medicine, why is this palace... no, why is it a pity that Mr. is so skilled in medicine, but hides his name in the capital?"

Bai Fu had already thought up his argument, and answered calmly: "Master ordered me to travel around the world and help the poor within ten years after I go down the mountain. I must not rely on medical skills to covet wealth."

Yang Yuhuan nodded and praised: "Sir's master must be an expert in the world, with great insight."

At this time, the three of them rode their horses to a green pool in the valley. The water in the pool was blue and clear, as bright and attractive as if milk had been poured into the lake.

Yang Yuhuan cheered, jumped off the horse, and was as coquettish as a little girl, begging to stay here for one night.The two of Bai Li couldn't help laughing.

Suddenly there was a sound of water splashing, and a big fish, more than a foot long, leaped out of the pool, turned over in the air, and fell heavily back to the surface of the water.The three of them looked intently and saw dozens of black-backed crucian carp chasing and playing in the water.

Bai Fu got off his horse, took out the green bamboo blowpipe, filled it with rice grains, waited for the fish to swim close to the surface of the water, he spit out his inner strength, knocked out a big fish, and turned its white belly to the surface of the water.

Carry out according to law, catch several fish in a row.Cheering happily, Yang Yuhuan took off her shoes and socks, broke off a long branch, gestured for a long time, and salvaged the stunned crucian carp ashore.

Bai Fu used a dagger to cut open the belly of the fish, scraped the scales to remove the dirt, and washed it clean.

Afterwards, the Baifulei stone was used as a stove, spread with dead branches and dry grass, lit it with fire, lit a bonfire, and lit a stove for cooking.

The fish is pierced with twigs, and the salt is evenly spread on the fish, and grilled over charcoal fire.After a while, the fish meat is full of fat and fragrance, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and smooth in the mouth.

After eating dry rations and biscuits for several days, everyone got tired of it.Bai Fu and Yang Yuhuan were hungry, and they ate up several fish in a short time.

Li Xuexuan was a vegetarian, and after the two of them finished eating the grilled fish, they cooked a pot of vegetable soup with wild vegetables and straw mushrooms, and ate with relish.

Yang Yuhuan was quite embarrassed, and said to Li Xuexuan, "Miss Li, let me bake a Hu biscuit for you. Hu biscuits are tasteless to eat. If it is slightly mushy, sprinkle with salt, it will taste very fragrant."

Li Xuexuan couldn't bear to refuse, so she thanked her with a smile.

Yang Yuhuan took the mustard cakes and put them on with branches, imitating Baifu grilled fish, and imitated it.Bai Fu and Li Xuexuan were by the side, chatting about the unofficial history of Jianghu, talking and laughing, Yang Yuhuan also listened with gusto.

While chatting and laughing, the three of them smelled a burning smell.Turning around again, Yang Yuhuan yelled.It turned out that he was so distracted that he didn't pay attention to the grilled food, and actually baked the Hu Bing into a piece of burnt black charcoal, which was obviously inedible.

Yang Yuhuan suddenly felt frustrated, pouted and muttered.I didn't know what to think of, put my hands on my knees, buried my head and neck deeply, and sobbed, and in the end, tears fell like rain, and wept bitterly.

The two of Bai Li looked at each other and felt the same way.It is difficult for anyone to accept that the clansmen were punished when they were divorced, and the husband gave up and killed him ruthlessly.In the past few days, Yang Yuhuan has been enduring grief and suppressing her body and mind.This situation made it collapse again.

Li Xuexuan walked to Yang Yuhuan's side, and gently held her arm so that she could lean on her shoulder.At this moment, in the mountains of Bashu, there is no Peony of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but only a weak and homeless daughter.

　　"Journey to the South Mountain"

　　Mengjiao (Tang Dynasty)

　　Nanshan blocks the sky and the earth, and the sun, moon and rocks are born on the top.

　　The peak stays at night, and the deep valley is not clear by day.

　　People in the mountains are self-righteous, and the road is dangerous and the heart is calm.

　　The long wind drives the pines and cypresses, and the sound blows the myriad valleys.

　　That is to say, I regret reading, and I am getting closer and closer to fame.
