The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 218

The people in Lin'an all know it.West Lake is one of the best places to enjoy the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

On the West Lake under the bright moon.Numerous ships shuttle and wander on it.The surface of the lake is covered with a piece of gold.The water waves are not happy.She looked like a calm and tranquil girl in golden scales.quiet.peaceful.beautiful.Incomparably beautiful.Straight people intoxicated.

There were bursts of cheerful voices from the cruise ships on the lake from time to time.singing.laughter.Drinking and punching.Weave ups and downs.Among the many cruise ships.Jia Sidao's "worm boat" deserves to be the best among them.It's just that tonight's "worm ship" is extraordinarily quiet.

The worm boat docks at the Three Pools Reflecting the Moon, one of the treasures of the West Lake.

Jia Sidao seems to be preoccupied.Looking out the window indifferently.Liao Yingzhong.Weng Yinglong.The Fan brothers and others were also drinking in silence.Then Wu Junhan still sat aside by himself.No one in the cabin said a word.Not festive at all.

"Grand Master. Wenhu proposes a toast to you." Fan Wenhu raised his glass.broke the silence.

"Oh." It took Jia Sidao a moment to come back to his senses. "Okay. Drink."

"Teacher, how do you think His Majesty will reform the army this time?" Fan Wenhuan asked cautiously.

Jia Sidao did not answer.Instead, he said to Liao Yingzhong, "Yingzhong. What do you think?"

"My lord. Your Majesty's intention may be that. This subordinate is just speculating. Maybe he wants to take back the military power."

"Brother Liao, I don't think so. The Mongolian Ashu's surprise attack must have made His Majesty feel fear. So His Majesty wants to use the name of reform to increase investment in the army. For example, buying war horses, expanding the horse army and so on." Weng Yinglong retorted.

Liao Yingzhong smiled: "Brother Ying Long, Your Majesty is not a cowardly person. Besides, I have always been short of horses. Now the surrounding land is occupied by Mongolia. There will be no horses to buy. Therefore, I think the restructuring that Your Majesty has in mind .It must be in line with the existing mechanism."

Fan Wenhu asked: "That's according to Brother Liao's intention. Is Your Majesty going to reform the Imperial Army?"

"It is possible."

"Yingzhong. The old man also agrees with your point of view. Please speak more carefully."

"Yes, my lord. The army of our dynasty is divided into two parts. One is the frontier troops in each war zone. The other is the forbidden army in Beijing. This forbidden army has always been under the control of your lord. Therefore, if your majesty wants to reform the military, the first to bear the brunt must be Forbidden army. Let’s look at the town’s frontier army. The frontier army belongs to the three major war zones. Chuanzhong Gaoda and others are not my friends. But Chuanzhong has always been the hub of the Song-Mongol war. For us, the relationship between the enemy and the friend is not very clear Big. Because Gundam will use all his energy to fight against Mongolia. Even if he is facing His Majesty, he has no time to take into account the changes in the court. Master Lu in the Xiangfan theater is regarded as a trusted disciple of the Lord. He will undoubtedly support the Lord. The biggest change is It is Li Tingzhi from Yangzhou. Mr. Li has an independent character. Although he was promoted by him, it is difficult to grasp. My lord. Since I entered the court and became an official, I have gradually understood your majesty's habits. Your majesty has a firm and resolute temperament. Once you make up your mind It will be very difficult to change. Therefore, regarding the military reform proposed by His Majesty, if His Majesty insists on opposing it, it may cause conflicts between His Majesty and His Majesty. This subordinate thinks that the best way is to persuade Li Tingzhi to let him Sign a letter with Mr. Lu to stop His Majesty. This is the best policy."

"Li Tingzhi."

"My lord. This is the key."

Fan Wenhu snorted and said: "Li Tingzhi is unreliable. I have long felt that this person is rebellious in life. It is not my heart."

"Don't be presumptuous." Jia Sidao scolded.

Liao Yingzhong said again: "If the frontier army does not support His Majesty's military reform, coupled with the opposition of the Forbidden Army, then His Majesty may not make up his mind."

"En. Yingzhong. Based on your understanding of Zhao Yu, how do you think he will change the military system?"

"My lord, my subordinates are incompetent. When it comes to military affairs, my subordinates can't figure it out."

Although Liao Yingzhong is smart.Through government affairs.But he doesn't know anything about military affairs.So much can be analyzed.It's already considered rare.Only then did Jia Sidao feel a little regretful.Liao Yingzhong should have been allowed to join the military in the first place.

Since Jia Sidao became the Privy Council envoy.Jia Sidao has always believed that he can cover the sky with one hand in the army.Therefore, he arranged Liao Yingzhong, who he trusted the most, into the government affairs system.It's a critical time.Only then did I realize that I didn't have any capable people in the army.

but.Judging from Jia Sidao's character.Nor will he hand over the military power to one person.Even if this person is Liao Yingzhong.Is the most trusted person.Jia Sidao only thinks in his heart.Only he himself can be fully trusted.This is Jia Sidao's philosophy of doing things.It is one of his experience of being an official for decades and staying in a high position.

Jia Sidao thought for a while and said: "Yingzhong, you immediately draft a letter for the old man. The old man sent someone to Yangzhou overnight. Well, the wording should be tactful. Li Tingzhi is soft but not hard. I hope I can use the old man's love Convince him. Last time Li Tingzhi also wrote back. It was all polite words."

"Yes, my lord. The subordinate understands."

"Jia Xuan. The pen and ink next door is waiting for you. Yingzhong. You go and write. Come over for a drink after you finish writing."

"kindness."

Jia Sidao asked again: "Wen Huan, as Minister of the Ministry of War, you are more familiar with military affairs than Liao Yingzhong. If it were you, how would you change it?"

"Grand Master. The border war is not stable at present. So if it were me, I would start with the Imperial Army first." Fan Wenhuan said. "Teacher, think about it. If the reform of the frontier army causes turmoil, it will definitely give the Mongols a chance. When they are not fully grasped, they should not act lightly. And the imperial army is currently under the control of the grand master. Right now there is no There can be war. If Your Majesty wants to take back the military power, he should use the Forbidden Army and the Ministry of War to attack. Wen Huan also agrees with Brother Liao on this point. The most likely ways are nothing more than two. The first is to replace the Forbidden Army on a large scale. The generals and the main officials of the Ministry of War. The second is to reorganize the imperial army after breaking up."

Weng Yinglong continued: "Grand Master, there may be another way."

"Really. Yinglong, tell me."

"Your Majesty set up the Council of Government Affairs. The intention is to gradually transfer power to it. That's the same. Your Majesty can also set up the Council of Military Affairs. Slowly take back the power of military affairs." Weng Yinglong was very angry with the Council of Government Affairs.So impressed.

"Well. That's quite possible."

"Junhan." Jia Sidao turned his head and said. "You are a bystander. If it is you. How do you think about it?"

"Grand Master. Junhan thinks that what Master Fan and Lord Weng said is very reasonable. Your Majesty will probably use all three methods. This is similar to the combined punches we martial arts practitioners use when fighting against the enemy."

"Combination punch."

"En. Experts fight each other. Especially in a situation of equal skill. One move and one move are often impossible to win. Only when there is a move in the move, and a style in the move. Combining together to attack the opponent, it is possible to disrupt the opponent's rhythm. To find out its weakness. Kill it in one fell swoop."

"Well. Reasonable."

"Teacher." Wu Jun said with a smile. "Although Junhan doesn't understand military affairs, he feels that His Majesty seems to have gained the upper hand."

"First-hand advantage. What do you mean?"

"Grand Master. Junhan feels that the Xiang army was abolished in the early days. The most recent General Xia Gui went to Luzhou. Perhaps it is His Majesty who took the first step in military reform ahead of schedule."

Fan Wenhuan laughed and said, "It shouldn't be such a coincidence. It was the first time Your Majesty encountered Mongolia attacking our dynasty after he ascended the throne. And several generals of our dynasty were killed in battle. So I think this is a normal reaction. It should be human nature. "

Jia Sidao also smiled slightly: "Jun Han's words are not completely unreasonable. However, the old man also agrees with Wen Huan's words. Even if Zhao Yu is not afraid this time, he is at least very nervous inside. That's why he thought about the reform of the army. Xia Gui sent troops to the front, but it caused everyone to have such a feeling. But this matter is in line with what you said. Zhao Yu has already used the first move of the combined boxing without knowing it. It's just that he himself may not You know."

Wu Jun said: "The words of the grand master are very true."

"What should come will always come." Jia Sidao raised his voice slightly. "You continue to eat wine and vegetables. The old man will think about it for himself."

Although the Song Dynasty has always emphasized literature over military.But the three powers in the DPRK and China are aware of the importance of military power. We all understand the truth of "political power grows out of the barrel of a gun".As soon as I mentioned the transformation of the army.Xie Daoqing and Jia Sidao were thinking about what kind of results would appear at the same time.

The Mid-Autumn Festival in the first year of Xianchun seems to be very interesting.

The independent courtyard on the north side of Qiandao Lake.

The occupant of the house is sitting on a high chair.Whispered: "One heart is divided into two. One hand draws a circle, the other hand draws a circle. And it is formed at the same time. It can be continued. The left and right are divided. The heart belongs to the second. One controls the left. One controls the right. Independent control. No interference .Be impartial.Treat it in a balanced way.There are yin and yang in the world.Everyone knows.The combination of yin and yang can make the way.However,yin and yang complement each other.It takes the time when yin to yang.Human life is limited.Exhaust one's life. Cultivate one way. You may reach Yin, or you may reach Yang. But you can’t have both. It’s time to practice. You can only advance at the same time. Cultivate Yin with one heart, and Yang with one heart. Only in this way can there be a chance. Cultivate before becoming a feather It is extremely negative and positive. Then the two are fused together. Maybe it can be ranked among the immortals."

The gray-clothed old man Suo Wuji said: "Master, this Red Pine Sutra is the treasure of Chisong Temple. According to legend, it is the relic left by two great immortals before their ascension. Second use. It’s really difficult.”

"En. This is natural. Otherwise, after so many years, Chisong Temple has not even appeared as a master. Let alone Deng Xianhu."

"Yes. Master. This scripture says that a cultivator must practice yin and yang to the extreme at the same time, and then merge them. Only in this way can he enter the Tao. However, the argument of today's martial arts is to advocate the simultaneous cultivation of yin and yang. It seems similar, but it is actually different. Thousands of miles away."

"Old Suo. Maybe the Chisong Sutra has other meanings."

Suo Wuji hesitated for a moment and said: "Master, how can one mind be used for two purposes. This subordinate thinks that this Red Pine Sutra is not worthy of its name. Maybe it is a forgery made by someone else. This subordinate still advises Master not to practice this sutra, so as not to get mad."

The middle-aged man smiled: "It's okay. Suo Lao. You know that I have two big wishes since I was a child. One is to enter the inner palace of the Valley of the Kings. To explore the mystery of life and death; the other is to establish a harmonious country. Both of these require opportunities The second opportunity is the battle between Song and Mongolia. When both sides are hurting, our alliance will naturally arise. As for the first opportunity. I think it may be the Chisong Jing. I saw it in the Chisong Temple Pass the stone wall with scriptures carved on it. The stone wall is extremely hard. And the writing on it is made with fingers as a knife. Even I don’t have this skill. Just think who will be able to fake it. "It's just my intuition. But I have to give it a try. For the obsession. Don't worry about Suo Lao. I just need to protect my mind. If I have a little success, I will let you protect me. With you The psychic Dafa. You can free me from the demons at any time."

Suo Wuji frowned slightly: "Master, there is such a possibility. But the subordinates can't guarantee it."

"Old Suo. How sure are you?"

"Master. The subordinates are only [-]% sure."

The middle-aged man got up and patted Suo Wuji and said, "That's enough. It's more than half."

Suo Wuji still didn't give up.Continue to persuade: "Master, think twice."

"Old Suo. Of course I know your concerns. Don't you believe that I have this ability?"

"The subordinate dare not. The master is a genius. It is the only thing that the subordinate has seen in his life. It's just..."

The middle-aged man looked resolute: "I've made up my mind. Suo Lao doesn't need to persuade you anymore. Suo Lao should try his best to perfect your psychic method. In this way, you can raise the possibility to [-]% or even more."

Suo Wuji said helplessly: "Yes. This subordinate understands."

The middle-aged man said softly, "Yes. Mr. Suo. Is Miss back yet?"
