That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 933

In southern Xinjiang, there have been repeated rebellions. As Yu Kuang said, it was because of Lin Han's bloody suppression back then, but the root cause is not such a reason. If the barbarians in southern Xinjiang were really obedient, Lin Han would not take this matter To blackmail the great families in Shuzhou, if the barbarians in southern Xinjiang are really obedient, the major families will not collude with the barbarians to oppose Lin Han when they can't bear it anymore. Send troops to attack Jincheng.

Going back thousands of years, southern Xinjiang and other places have always been like this. When the Central Plains Dynasty was strong, they surrendered, and when the Central Plains Dynasty was weak, they rebelled.Repeated submission and rebellion. In the decades between the end of Zheng and the beginning of Qi, the barbarians in southern Xinjiang had two rebellions, which were suppressed by Lin Han and Wei Jin respectively. If the Daqi Dynasty remained peaceful and prosperous, in the next hundred years In the meantime, Nanjiang and Shuzhou will live in peace. After all, Nanjiang is not a grassland that suffers from white disasters every year, and it is not at the point of life and death.

It's just that now that Daqi is in chaos, it's hard to guarantee that the barbarians in southern Xinjiang won't be ready to move.If the Shu army rushes out of Shu at this time, causing the interior of Shu Prefecture to be empty, then it will give Southern Xinjiang an opportunity to take advantage of, and this eagerness to move may immediately turn into a real action.

Once the soldiers from Southern Xinjiang attack the Seven Prefectures of Nanzhong, Shuzhou will be shaken, and no one can guarantee what will happen.Just like the first time when Xiao Yu went south to Shuzhou, and then went out to fight in Huzhou, the army was trapped in Liangxiang, and it was too late to defeat the enemy. In the hinterland of Heyuan, soldiers approached the city of Zhongdu. If Xiao Jin hadn’t been sent to the south of the Yangtze River and persuaded Lu Qian to retreat, so that Lanyu’s Jiangling camp and Lin Han’s Jiange camp could return one after another. It’s hard to say who is in charge today .

This is the reason why Sun Shaotang garrisoned troops in Baidi City but did not send troops for a long time. It was not that Sun Shaotang had selfish intentions and wanted to preserve his strength but refused to save him. Be cautious.

After Xu Beiyou had a deep talk with Yu Kuang, he left Liangxiang with Zhao Qing and Qian Muzhai and headed for Baidi City, while Bingchen stayed in Xiangyang City, preparing to take him with him when things couldn't be done. Letting the people who should leave to leave this place, considering her cultivation base on the [-]th floor, this is not a difficult task, and it can also make Xu Beiyou feel at ease.

As for Xu Beiyou himself, he is also a Sword Immortal on the [-]th floor. Even if Zhu Jiuyin from the Southeast Witch Sect still has a peak cultivation, he is not afraid at all.

The spring breeze passed through Yumen Pass again, and went straight into the world.

Along the way, Xu Beiyou had a lot of conversations with the great Confucian Qian Muzhai. The two talked about the first stop of the trip, Baidi City. Most of the time, great Confucians can only listen attentively.

In detail, this city has a lot to do with the Gongsun family back then.

Baidi City is surrounded by water on three sides and mountains on one side. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. This place was originally called Ziyang City. More than a thousand years ago, the Gongsun family took over Shu and became the king of this place. There is a white crane well in the city, and white gas often gushes out of the well. Like a white dragon, the Gongsun family took the title of Baidi and renamed the city Baidi City.

At that time, the Gongsun family and the Murong family were equally famous, one in the south and the other in the north. There was the Baidi Gongsun family in the south, and the Longcheng Murong family in the north. The three families of Ye, Zhang, and Shangguan also have their own encounters, and they all have their own hard-to-recite scriptures. These five families took root in Wei State together, far away from the war in the Central Plains, and passed on endlessly. They are known as the five great families in the world, far surpassing the major Jiangnan Aristocratic family.

But now the five families have changed, Murong is still in the Dragon City, and the King of Shuzhou is nowhere to be seen.

Three days later, the group approached Baidi City by boat instead of land.

Since ten years of fighting for the throne, the strategic position of Baidi City has been far inferior to before. It was not until the outbreak of the Jiangnan War that Sun Shaotang, who was in charge of the military and political power in Shuzhou, began to rebuild Baidi City and stationed more than [-] troops here. Swinging his master southward, it also frightened Xiao Jin to a certain extent and made him fearful.

Xu Beiyou walked onto the board, feeling cold in his heart.In the past two days, news kept coming in. There were letters from eagles and falcons, and letters from flying swords. It can’t be said to be good or bad. One was the Northwest War. Zhang Wubing fought Lin Han again after wearing the seal of General Zhenglu They still refused to retreat into the city and defend the city, and were determined to retain the right to fight outside the city. The result of this battle was not very optimistic. The damage to both sides was about five or five. Zhang Wubing led his troops back to Dunhuang for a rest. .

The other one is the famine in Yuzhou. Hungry people revolted, but they were immediately suppressed by the local third division. The part of the White Lotus Sect that refused to surrender and split off, when the world was in chaos, these remnants of the White Lotus Sect returned to the Central Plains from the Western Regions and began to act recklessly.

The world is in a precarious state, and ghosts and monsters from all walks of life come here one after another. Now Xu Beiyou, who is carrying the sword sect on his shoulder and the world on his shoulder, how should he deal with himself?
To be honest, Xu Beiyou himself didn't know. He only knew that what he could do now was to do his best.

As for what will happen next, whether the world will be in chaos, whether the Daqi court can continue, whether Taoism and King Wei will win the world, then we can only listen to the destiny.

The ferry was getting closer and closer to Baidi City, and Xu Beiyou could already see Yongning Palace, the highest point of Baidi City, from afar.

Approaching the pier, everyone disembarked and headed towards Baidi City in the twilight. Zhao Qing seemed to have something on his mind and walked at the end. Xu Beiyou and Qian Muzhai walked side by side and were at the front of the line. Qian Muzhai narrowed his eyes and pointed. Baidi City, which is close at hand, said softly: "This is Baidi City. The Patriarch of the Gongsun family who ruled Shuzhou in those days died of illness in the Yong'an Palace in the city. In the end, not only Shuzhou was lost, but even the Central Plains could not gain a foothold, so we had no choice but to go far to Weiguo."

Xu Beiyou responded with a deep voice.

Qian Muzhai continued slowly: "After the Gongsun family withdrew from Shuzhou, the dragons in Shuzhou had no leader. It was not until hundreds of years later that the Tang family, a native of Shuzhou, defeated the Duanmu family, and became the new owner of Shuzhou. Later, the Duanmu family lived in Zhongzhou. , When the Emperor Taizu of this dynasty rose to prominence, the Tang family and the Duanmu family all submitted to the dynasty one after another."

Xu Beiyou hummed.

Qian Muzhai said softly: "Lan Xiang is now in Shuzhou. After all, he is an old man who followed the Emperor Taizu to conquer the world. He will not sit back and watch the Daqi court established by himself..."

The old man didn't finish his words, but Xu Beiyou already understood what he meant.

Xu Beiyou stopped, looked back at the group of old and young Confucian scholars who were following behind him, then turned his gaze back to Qian Muzhai, and said in a flat tone: "Mr. Qian, please give Lan Xiang a word, Xu Beiyou will come to the door in person on a certain day visit."

Qian Muzhai nodded.

Xu Beiyou bowed his hands to him, and then looked at the scholars behind him. Many scholars were in awe of this young man who already wore the seal of a great general.After all, not everyone can support the southeast half at this age, or even influence the general trend of the world.

Xu Beiyou looked at these awe-inspiring or complicated eyes and faces, and suddenly smiled and said, "Whether it's the Gongsun family or the Murong family, it's all about the past after all. The era of the gentry and high-ranking lords has passed. It can be self-destruction, I believe that the world in the future will be the world of all scholars."

"We are in Baidi City today, and we will bid farewell here, but before we leave, I would like to send you a word."

"Hundreds of years old homes in the world are nothing more than accumulating virtue, and the number one good thing in the world is reading."

"The mountains are high and the rivers are long, and we will meet again in the future."
