A Thousand Hills

Chapter 255

winter.

winter.

Xiao Tang felt that his family's master was very good at learning, although he couldn't quite understand the old man's lectures, but he was not good at explaining hexagrams.

winter.

winter.

Who doesn't know that winter means winter.

But what is this?
This is a secret!
Can heaven be so simple?

Xiao Tang thought about it, and went to Master Wenxiu to inquire about the secret.Master Wenxiu couldn't politely reject Queen Mother Hu because of the status of Queen Mother Hu. A little Tang, Master Wenxiu talked about it all day, but Xiao Tang didn't even ask about "winter".

Xiao Tang Dawei shook his head, and said to his ancestor, "I don't think Master Wenxiu's morality is enough. Back then, my ancestor Tang's gods predicted the heavenly secret, and cut down eighteen divine thunders in a row, and the roof was wiped out. My ancestors also It's okay, the secret is very accurate, and it is clearly stated."

I really dare not say this to another person, but Xiao Tang dares to say it, mainly because his ancestors really produced immortals, and they are still alive.Mr. Beiling is an old fox at this age, he naturally knows the tricks in divination.Hearing Xiao Tang's complaint at this time, he teased Xiao Tang, "Then why don't you just burn incense to your god ancestors, and ask God Tang to see if he knows what it means?"

Xiao Tang waved his hand, "It's useless! I can't contact you anymore! When I was a child, I burned incense every day to ask the gods and ancestors to make me smarter, but my ancestors didn't reply to me!"

Even Jiang Beiling couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard this!

Among the people Xiaotang knew, Master Jiang Beiling and Master Wenxiu were the most knowledgeable, and their interpretation of God's will was quite average. He felt that, as a descendant of the immortal family, he might not be able to help their princess. But Xiao Tang still had a sense of responsibility and told Princess Xie about the deduction of the two.

Xiao Tang also said, "It's not necessarily accurate. I also know about winter, but what's so strange about winter is that it's cold. Especially in the imperial capital, in which year can you survive the winter without wearing a big fur. You can just listen to it, my lady." Well, I can't understand a single word Master Wenxiu said. What my master said is clear, but he is not very successful in interpreting hexagrams, and his level is average."

Xie Moru smiled, "Mr. Beiling is very knowledgeable, I think he can understand this hexagram well."

"It's not bad?" Xiao Tang felt that it was Princess Xie who was kind-hearted, and she gave face to his master in front of him.

Xie Moru thought for a while and said, "I'll leave it to you."

"What's the matter? Princess, just tell me, I'll take care of it."

"Little Tang, you have traveled around with Mr. Tang since you were young, and you have seen a lot of things in the world. Now you have lived in the imperial capital these days. You should know the difference between the north and the south. Summarize it and write it into an article for me."

Xiao Tang thought he was a man who traveled all over the world, so he immediately said, "There are many of them. The food is different, the clothes are different, and the style of the house is also different."

"Let's write it first. After you finish writing, show it to Mr. Beiling. If Mr. Beiling thinks it's okay, you can bring it to me."

"Success!" Xiao Tang responded with one gulp!
Xiao Tang originally thought that he could write the article for Princess Xie to read tomorrow, but when he took the article he had written to his master for a review, Jiang Beiling heard it, and his eyes went dark: Princess Xie, you know how to read it too. Have you figured it out?Didn't you let the old man take care of this stupid boy for you!
Differences between the North and the South, not to mention the basic necessities of food, housing, and transportation, can be studied for a lifetime.

Jiangbeiling is not feeling well here, and Xiao Tang is still urging, "Master, please help me take a look and see how I write?"

Jiang Beiling really didn't want to talk to Xiao Tang, so he was born to be Xiao Tang's master. Although Jiang Beiling had many disciples and Xiao Tang didn't have any advantage in IQ, Xiao Tang still had a bit of a heart. Quite able to catch Jiangbeiling's eyes.Otherwise, Jiang Beiling couldn't let him follow him every day.Jiang Beiling took a closer look at Xiao Tang's appearance, with long eyebrows, clear eyes, straight nose and wide mouth, which is naturally a first-class good-looking.Jiang Beiling sighed secretly, this kid really has some luck.

When his master gave him a face-to-face meeting, Xiao Tang had already stuffed the article he wrote last night into the hands of the master, and continued to urge, "Master, you should take a look, the article written by my grand master , do you think anyone can see it?"

Juren lord?

Jiang Beiling almost didn't spit it out, so he had to attack him, "I have read tens of thousands of articles by Master Juren, but I have never seen such nonsense as you." At the same time, he had to point him out, "This is a fuss, For textual research, let’s take food as an example first, why is there a big difference in food in the north and south? Have you ever thought about it?”

"It's hard to think about it. The production is different in different places, and of course the food is different."

"Why are the productions different?" Jiang Beiling continued to ask.

"How do I know that?"

"What do you do with a long head? If you don't know, you have to find a book to read." Jiang Beiling presided over the construction of a book building. The old man has spent most of his life studying, so he immediately pointed out a few books for Xiao Tang to read.

Xiao Tang has one good thing, he is not a smart person, but he is not stupid, and he knows good and bad, at least Xiao Tang knows that not just anyone can get advice from his master.Now his master has taught him that he is not lazy at all, and he will watch whatever he is told to do.

It's just the same, Xiao Tang felt that he might not be able to write this article well in a short time.He also specifically told Princess Xie that Princess Xie was always lenient, looked at him and smiled, "Don't worry, just write slowly."

Xiao Tang and his master sighed, "Our princess is really a good person."

His master: You idiot!
Master Wenxiu’s hexagram, there are many people who interpret it. For example, Queen Mother Hu heard countless words about the secrets of heaven, such as winter, winter, winter solstice, autumn and winter, winter and spring, and another winter...

Such an explanation is a bit confusing.

King Jingjiang doesn't believe in the way of heaven, but he has also heard about Master Wenxiu's hexagram.After pondering for a moment, Jingjiang said kingly, "This hexagram is quite good."

Qian Changshi laughed, "Although the hexagram is good, it is hard to predict the master's magic."

King Jingjiang is not a person who likes to be flattered, he asked, "Is there no news from Nanmianer?"

Qian Changshi Su Rong said, "There are only two roads in and out of Shuzhong, one dry road and one water road, and my ministers have already guarded them closely. As long as people show up, they will inevitably escape the net."

Jingjiang Wang said, "If we fight one more time, we should retreat. The winter in the north is not easy."

Qian Changshi replied "Yes", and King Jingjiang smiled, "It's a pity that I can't have a face-to-face meeting with my emperor's nephew."

Qian Changshi said, "The future will be long."

King Jingjiang sighed slightly, it was a pity not only that he failed to attack the imperial capital with all his strength, King Jingjiang did not expect that the Western Man and Nanyue were so incompetent, or that his emperor's nephew was not stupid, Xiningguan Nananguan So, even though there are two restraints in the southwest, after all, Ximan and Nanyue failed to enter the pass, the pressure on the imperial capital will be light, and King Jingjiang's blade will be blocked by Zhili, and it will be difficult to go further.

What's more, if the weather is not allowed, you will retreat when you retreat.

King Jingjiang was well-informed, but the fifth prince didn't know the situation in the imperial capital, let alone his wife and Venerable Master Wenxiu teamed up to do the magic wand.The fifth prince is full of hair now. He has gone through thousands of mountains and rivers and finally arrived in Fujian. Liu Fufeng is his confidant. Because of the previous victories in Fujian, the officials in Fujian are promoted and rewarded. Now, when Fujian is in danger, seeing the fifth prince come to preside over the overall situation, everyone is welcoming with both hands and feet, how can there be any non-cooperation?Therefore, the five princes took over the military administration of Fujian very smoothly.

When the fifth prince arrived, Liu Fufeng had already taken over many Jiangnan remnants.And Liu Fufeng's ability to persist in defending Fujian until now is not only due to his outstanding military strategy, but more importantly, Liu Fufeng secretly received a batch of extremely considerable military supplies sent by Li Jiujiang privately.

Therefore, Fujian is stable.

However, apart from Fujian, the two provinces of Huizhou and Jiangxi have already fallen into the hands of King Jingjiang. Even though Fujian cannot be captured, Jingjiang troops have already bypassed Fujian and occupied a lot of land in Huguang, which has become an important part of Fujian. Encirclement trend.

The fifth prince felt that his move from the imperial capital to Fujian was not even counted as inviting the king into the urn, and he obviously ran into the encirclement on his own initiative.

In addition, there is no news about Li Jiujiang, Marquis of Nan'an, and Li Yu, not to mention His Highness the Crown Prince. Since Jingjiang raised troops, Liu Fufeng has been ordering people to pay attention to the Prince's whereabouts. The last news is that Wu Guogong was stabbed to death at the Prince's Yijia.As for the prince's whereabouts, it becomes a mystery.

As for his emperor's father worried that he would not be able to take over the Jiangnan army smoothly, and hinted that the fifth son could do something against Wu Guogong, the fifth prince could only say that he and his emperor's father were too optimistic.When the fifth prince arrived in Fujian, Wu Guogong had already died.There is also Su Xiang's plan to let him hit Jingjiang's back. The current situation is that the five princes are all in the Jingjiang bowl!Moreover, this is not a defeat of the Jiangnan army, it is clear that half of the country has fallen into the hands of King Jingjiang!

What's more terrible is that the fifth prince came to Jiangnan in disguise, and the entire route from Fujian to the imperial capital has been cut off by King Jingjiang, which means that in a short period of time, the fifth prince will not receive any supplies from the court. From military strength to food and grass to ordnance, there is nothing.

The fifth prince found that what he was facing was a difficult situation that he had never encountered in his life.

Worry?

Scared?
Decline?

All the negative emotions, the fifth prince also has a lot, but you can't show it to the courtiers!Fortunately, the fifth prince is someone who can pretend since he was a child. He has a serious face, and those who don't know think that he has a plan.

Not only did the fifth prince have to pretend to be confident, but he also had to appease the emotions of the officials and the army, and tell everyone that they must have confidence in the war. The court knows their hard work. If we can win the first time in Jingjiang, we can win the second time in Jingjiang.

Why did Emperor Mu Yuan send the fifth prince to the south of the Yangtze River? Could it be that the fifth prince is especially fond of him?Of course, the five princes did indeed win Emperor Mu Yuan's heart, but just looking at Emperor Mu Yuan's tricks when he cleared Jingjiang in the imperial capital, he knew that there was danger, but he just didn't let the wind out. If Emperor Mu Yuan could reveal some news at the beginning, the grandson would not As for being seriously injured.Of course, if the news of Emperor Mu Yuan leaked out, the strategy of "striking the grass and scaring the snake" might not succeed at all.Therefore, in major events, Emperor Mu Yuan was selfless.

There was only one reason for sending the five princes to Jiangnan: Emperor Mu Yuan knew that Fujian is the region with the best preserved troops in Jiangnan!As for the soldiers and horses in Fujian, the most convinced person should be the fifth son. Therefore, Emperor Mu Yuan ordered the fifth son to come to Jiangnan.

Because it was the fifth prince who came here, and because it was the fifth prince who came to appease Fujian, even if what the fifth prince said was commonplace, the military and civilian officials in Fujian were willing to believe it.

After all, the fifth prince once led them to defeat King Jingjiang!
After all, Jiangnan is in chaos, but Fujian is safe!
When the five princes came to Fujian, they first settled down their military affairs.

It's just that it's easy to do things with lip service, but the next hard goods are the problem.The fifth prince went south secretly without bringing any officials from the mansion with him. After he came, he formed a military and political team directly under him.

Liu Fufeng is the leader in the army, Governor Su is the leader in political affairs, and Jiang Xingyun also has a place.

The fifth prince told them the truth, "Father received the defeat memorial, and immediately ordered me to go south. Because of the detour, it took quite a while, and I didn't expect the situation in the south of the Yangtze River to deteriorate to this point. Don't look at me outside. It looks like I know it in my heart, but to tell you the truth, I don’t know it either.”

Governor Su said, "We have received news that King Jingjiang has already gone north. According to His Highness, is the imperial capital still safe?"

The fifth prince said, "All you have to do is rest assured in the imperial capital. Even the Xining Pass and Nan'an Pass, the emperor has already taken precautions. The situation is so far, one is that Jingjiang has been planning for many years, and the other is that Jiangnan is so vulnerable."

Liu Fufeng said coldly, "The military strength in the south of the Yangtze River is not bad, but it is a pity that the defeat is not due to lack of combat power, but because of idiots taking power." Liu Fufeng has endured long enough. It's not that the government has never seen power play, in fact, Liu Fufeng's ability to sit in the top spot in the Fujian army has also gone through various calculations.However, if half of the country is lost for the sake of power, Liu Fufeng has never seen such a stupid thing in his life!Especially, as a general, Liu Fufeng is worthless to those soldiers who died in the Jiangnan Battle!
What Liu Fufeng said made the fifth prince feel ashamed. Fortunately, the fifth prince has always been tolerant towards those who are capable. He said, "Fufeng, you are too honest. The matter has come to this, no matter how angry you are, It doesn't help the matter anymore. We have to think of a way, how to revitalize this Jiangnan defeat."

Jiang Xingyun said, "The king of Jingjiang sent his troops to the north. As far as I know, Jingjiang plundered the three places of Lu, Yu and Jin one after another. Now it's autumn, and the court was able to repel Jingjiang. Find some food to make do, the winter is hard to endure, and in the future, the court and the central government may have to rescue the people of the three places. Not to mention now, even if Jingjiang is defeated and the route between Fujian and the court is opened, we may still not get any supplies. Also , the four places of Huizhou, Jiangxi, and Huguang are now occupied by King Jingjiang. Those who can surrender will be surrendered. Those who will not surrender will be killed. The land will be distributed to the local people. Jingjiang has unprecedented prestige in the south of the Yangtze River. It’s extremely difficult to do things carefully.”

In this way, Governor Su is concerned about the safety of the imperial capital, and Liu Fufeng's dissatisfaction with Jiangnan is no worse than Jiang Xingyun pouring cold water on his head. Therefore, the fifth prince's concern for the country and the people is even colder in this bleak autumn season up.

Moreover, the fifth prince came to a conclusion: women are more ruthless than men.

Also, Miss Jiang, you are really good at pouring cold water on me, aren't you?
