That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 799
Jiangdu, Jiangdu Palace.

Xiao Zhinan walked out of the house to the courtyard, looking at the narrow sky above his head.

Wei Wang finally turned against him.

The world is finally in chaos.

It is said that there is an eventful autumn, how many people in this world cannot survive this autumn?
Another troubled world.

The men of the Xiao family created Daqi's foundation in the troubled times.

It's just that, as a daughter of the Xiao family, Xiao Zhinan has never experienced war, so she didn't have much emotion about the many battles described in history books in the past. Until today, after seeing the magnificence of Wei Guo's navy across the river, she didn't It is the most intuitive understanding.

At this time, the atmosphere in the entire Jiangdu City is extremely solemn. The reason why Wei Wang Xiaojin wants to block the river is very clear, that is to cut off the grain of the imperial capital. Since the first year of Taiping, half of the grain used by the imperial capital has been taken from the south of the Yangtze River. , transported from Jiangdu to Imperial Capital through the Dongjiang Grand Canal.Xiao Jin blocked the big river, that is, blocked the Dongjiang Grand Canal connected to the big river, and blocked the Dongjiang Grand Canal, that is, cut off the water transportation.

It's not going to be a big deal for a while, but after a long time, something big will happen to the emperor.

Another point, this not only cut off the water transportation, but also cut off Xiao Zhinan and Xiao Xuan's way back home.

As a result, the waterway, the seaway, and even the land road in Huizhou are blocked, so they can only return to the imperial capital via the northwest, but at this moment, Mudan sends news that Lin Han has turned his back, and the golden tent has come to the small In Qiuling, Lin Han personally sat in the town, and the soldiers came to the city of Dayifu.

Xiao Jin and Lin Han are like two lines, one south and one north, trying to completely separate the world.

Four words suddenly appeared in Xiao Zhinan's mind.

Water and land go hand in hand.

This is really going hand in hand with water and land. Is there going to be a drama of sending troops to the imperial capital next?
According to the calculations, from the first year of Huanglong to the 23rd year of Taiping, there are a total of 53 springs and autumns. Excluding the two years it took Wei Wang to conquer Weiguo and the year that has not yet passed, it is exactly 50 years. Wei Wang finally revealed that he had hidden half a hundred treasures. The minions of the year, stretched out to that seat.

Not long after, Xie Suqing came in a hurry from outside and came to Xiao Zhinan's side, saying in a heavy tone: "The battle report is here, Yu Kuang personally led the Jiangnan Navy to fight against Xiao Jin's rebels. They were defeated in the first battle and have retreated to Dongting Lake. Temporarily unable to fight anymore.”

Xiao Zhinan's face was quickly covered with gloom, and he murmured: "Sure enough, the thing that my father worried about the most happened. Our court has never paid much attention to the navy, but the Wei State is the complete opposite. It attaches great importance to the navy. Counting from the 50nd year of Huanglong, I have basically stayed where I am in the navy, and even retreated, but Wei's navy has been advancing rapidly. There is a gap of [-] years between the two sides, no matter the warship or the method of water warfare. , there is no reason to be invincible."

Xie Suqing said in a deep voice: "Fortunately, Yu Kuang commanded well. Although the Jiangnan Navy is injured, it is far from annihilated. As long as it is improved and rectified, it will still be able to fight. If we cooperate with the Jiangnan Rear Army The multi-party arrangement in Dongting Lake may not lead to defeat. In addition, after this battle, the Wei State navy will inevitably be arrogant, which is also an opportunity for us to take advantage of."

Xiao Zhinan rubbed his temples, sighed and said, "In the final analysis, it depends on whether people give me a chance."

Xie Suqing also sighed helplessly.

Xiao Zhinan said to himself: "This time it's not ringworm and scabies, but a serious illness that can be life-threatening."

Not long after, Zhang Baisui also stepped into the courtyard, Xiao Zhinan raised his head and asked, "Big Companion, is there any movement at the Taoist Gate?"

Zhang Baisui shook his head and said: "There is no movement at the Taoist gate."

Xiao Zhinan hummed and fell into deep thought.

……

Taoism, Xuandu.

The teacher's wife, Murong Xuan, has gone down the mountain.

The real person in charge Qiu Ye retreated again, this time it was not as simple as making up for the Tao, but to heal the wound.

In order to prevent the last civil strife in the Taoist sect, although Qiuye did not set up a peak master to be in charge before retreating, she acquiesced to the established fact that Chen Ye was in charge.As a result, the word "Zhangjiao" in the "Heiyi Zhangjiao" is more and more worthy of the name.

After Zixiao Palace was closed, Chen Ye immediately held a discussion in Yuqing Palace. This time, it was no longer like the previous few times, it was all arguing back and forth. This time, there was no more noise in Yuqing Palace. Only full of silence dignified.

The people attending the meeting sit according to their respective status, and the higher the ranking of the honorable ones, the highest are the peak masters, then the masters of many palaces and the masters of various Taoist schools. It is worth mentioning that Bingchen among the elders He and Zhongli Anning also appeared here, their positions were higher than those of the peak masters, and they were parallel to Chen Ye's position.But even so, there are still many vacancies today, such as Tian Yun, the eldest disciple who teaches the real person, Xiao Shen, the master of Jianfeng Peak, the master of Yaoguang Peak, the master of Taoism in Qizhou, etc., but Chen Ye doesn't know much about it. With that in mind, let's start this discussion directly.

In today's Yuqing Palace, several deacons and Taoists projected a huge map on the wall with Taoism, which covered the vast world including Wei State, Houjian, Grassland, Baozhu, and Southern Xinjiang. Ye and the other peak masters and hall masters first discussed the next battle situation. Although Xiao Xuan is dead, most people are still more optimistic about Da Qi, thinking that as long as Da Qi can survive the initial turmoil and chaos , after stabilizing the ground, there is still a possibility of turning defeat into victory. After all, the Daqi court today is not the Dazheng court that was rotten to the root. Within the scope, only one emperor died. For the imperial court with its own rules, it would not be a real chaos.

Qi Xianyun is also in this discussion. Although she is not interested in this matter, she still listens carefully according to her master. Among them, the names of several military generals of the Daqi court appear repeatedly, and the most numerous are the rear army governor Yu Kuang and The governor of the left army Zhang Wubing, after all, the two were on the front line of the battlefield, so it was reasonable to be mentioned repeatedly, but the second was not the governor Wei Jin as Qi Xianyun expected, but Wei Wuji, the governor of Tiance Mansion. She also aroused interest, but Chen Ye's words were vague, but she couldn't understand why.

After analyzing the trend of the battle situation, Chen Ye looked at the "shadow picture" and slowly said: "The situation is already obvious. With the power of Wei and the grassland alone, Daqi cannot be defeated. At most Two points in the world is already the ultimate, so it is time for us to take action."

The entire Yuqing Palace was instantly silent, and a needle could be heard falling.

Chen Ye's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "Many people here have participated in ten years of competition. In that competition, without our Daoist sect, Xiao Qi would never have been able to be the co-lord of the world. At that time, we defeated those who had been rejecting Daoist sects." The Dazheng court has finally ushered in the great prosperity of our Taoist sect."

Chen Ye paused for a moment, and said in a flat tone: "Now that Da Qi has also walked on the old road of Da Zheng, then we are nothing more than walking the road we have walked before. We will walk the same way this time as we did back then."

Qi Xianyun was startled suddenly, got up slowly, looked at Chen Ye and asked, "What does Uncle Chen Ye mean by that?"

Chen Ye expressed no expression, and replied: "The world is like a copper furnace, the fire in the furnace is not strong enough, and a new firewood is needed in the furnace, and our Daoist sect is that new firewood."
