Chapter 44: I don’t like him but I can’t do anything about him
When it comes to the current situation, both of them feel sad.
Over the past hundred years, the Qin Dynasty has been deteriorating, while the Beiyuan Dynasty has become stronger and stronger day by day, visible to the naked eye.
When the Qin Dynasty was founded, the Northern Yuan Dynasty did not exist yet. At that time, the people who occupied that land were just nomadic tribes.
More than a hundred years ago, the Xiongnu nobleman Mamba was born, defeated the Xianbei, Jie, Qiang, Di and other powerful tribes in this land, and began to keep knocking on the door. At this time, the Qin Empire was at its peak. Naturally, The barbarians on the border could not be allowed to do whatever they wanted, so General Li Muye led his army out of the pass and fought a decisive battle with Mamba outside the pass.
The place where the decisive battle took place was exactly what is now Zhenwu City.
In a big battle, Li Muye won miserably.
Mamba, the leader of the Huns, returned seriously injured.
But it was this battle that finally forced Da Qin to admit the existence of its opponent.
After Mamba's death, his son Bayan came to power and founded the Yuan Dynasty the following year.
At that time, the Qin Dynasty was no longer able to organize a large army and carry out an expedition, so it ordered Li Muye to build Zhenwu City and establish a governor's palace. Li Muye became the first commander outside the customs.
Li Muye, who was victorious, was ashamed of this war. What he thought about day and night was to destroy Beiyuan. At that time, the two sides were in constant conflict.
Bayan's position was unstable, and other large clans in the country tended to be seriously divided, so Bayan adjusted his strategy, proclaimed himself a minister, paid tribute, and proposed to the Emperor of Qin.
Da Qin has been fighting with the opponent for more than ten years, and the country is also war-weary. Since the opponent has given in, it immediately surrendered. The main combatant Li Muye was transferred back to the country to idle. A year later, Li Muye died in depression.
Bayan reigned for forty years. He was studious and diligent. He almost transplanted the political structure of the Qin Dynasty to the Northern Yuan step by step. He established a centralized empire with the characteristics of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and brought other tribes in the country together. Suppressed to the point where there was almost no sound at all.
After Bayan's death, his son Yingzhuo succeeded to the throne. His talent and intelligence were not inferior to his father's, and his bravery was even better.
It is rare for a dynasty to have three consecutive generations of emperors who are wise and wise. This has also made Beiyuan's national power flourish. Now, although Yingzhuo is getting older, Tiele, Yingzhuo's second son, is the most promising to succeed him. , is another figure that makes all the important officials on the frontiers of Qin Dynasty fearful. It is obvious that if Tie Le succeeds to the throne, the Northern Yuan Dynasty will usher in the fourth powerful king.
If it weren’t for the sudden large-scale southward movement of the Hu people from the west and the north in the past two years, and Yingzhuo had to turn his gun to deal with those barbarians first, the extremely fragile peace between the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the Great Qin Dynasty would have long ceased to exist. .
But even so, under Tiele's auspices, the army outside the Great Qin Pass has been facing increasing pressure in recent years.
On the other hand, the kings of the Qin Dynasty are not as good as the previous ones. Nowadays, chaos is rife in the country. All the powerful families are eagerly waiting for an opportunity to hunt the world. Linghu Ye has commanded an army of 100,000 and has dominated the outside world for many years. Why can't we look at the chair in Chang'an?
Against this background, Xiao Changche's hope of exterminating the Yuan Dynasty in the Northern Expedition was gradually turning into a luxury.
"It would be great if you became the number one person outside the pass!" Luo Hua, who was standing behind Xiao Changche, gently squeezed the other person's shoulders and said: "Thousands of miles of territory, millions of people Ding, once integrated and united, this strength is not inferior to that of Bei Yuan."
"If it comes to battlefield confrontation and decisive battle, I don't care about anyone!" Xiao Changche! He sighed: "But the duel between the two countries, the confrontation on the battlefield, is only one aspect after all, and it is not the decisive aspect. I am nothing about politics and financial management. Even if I were to be the commander-in-chief outside the customs, I'm afraid it would not be as good as it is now. "Linghu Ye."
"Isn't it enough to win every battle on the battlefield?" Luo Hua said in confusion.
“You think too simply!” Xiao Changche laughed and said, “General Li won the battle against Mamba back then, but the final result was that his opponent established a country. How many commanders have we changed over the years? We haven't suffered many defeats, but why is Beiyuan getting stronger and stronger? This is not just a war, it is a matter of calculation and competition between the two countries! Too many.”
Luo Hua was a little disappointed, "Da Qin has no hope at all now. Ling Huye has other ideas. What can we do besides finding a way on our own? We can't stop doing it just because of difficulties. Things like political and financial management are not necessarily the same. You must do it. You just need to be a good leader. You can recruit talents to do these things!” Talent, who would take a fancy to a warrior like me?" Xiao Changcai said: "The more troubled the times, the more talented people are up for grabs. They all want to find the person they need to help them in order to stay. In the history of Fang, no one would like a martial artist with a humble background like me."
"Always try!" Luo Hua said angrily: "By the way, that Zhang Ruo was not under the exclusive control of the imperial court. As a high-ranking financial official, such a person must be capable, right? Since he is assigned here now, you might as well get him here. With a little kindness, you might be able to bring him back. I'm doing something for you!"
Xiao Changche laughed: "This Zhang Ruo, even Linghuye doesn't like me, let alone me. This person is a loyal minister of Great Qin. Don't look down on him. The emperor threw him out Being a scapegoat, they are still loyal! In the words of their scholars, this is called loyalty and integrity."
"Ling Huye wants to rebel against Da Qin, and Bei Yuan wants to occupy Da Qin. Of course, you are also a loyal minister of the Qin Dynasty. If you want to protect the border for the Qin Dynasty and resist the Northern Yuan Dynasty for the Qin Dynasty, shouldn't the two loyal ministers share the same feelings and encourage each other?" Luo Hua tilted his head and said. Xiao Changche looked at Luo Hua for a while and then said: "What you said doesn't sound like encouragement, but more like sarcasm!"
"Just tell me, is this true?"
Xiao Changche nodded, "That makes sense."
"Then you still have to Why don't you go to Linghuye to ask for this?"
Xiao Changche shook his head: "I can't ask for it, I will ask for it, maybe Linghuye will be suspicious, I don't want it, he will. Instead, he would give it to me, and he wanted to use my hand to kill Zhang Ruo!”
"That's it!" Luo Hua laughed: "Then just wait! In the future, you must also remember to find ways to recruit talents. Such things are like snowballs. As long as they get started, they will always be there in the future. It’s getting bigger and bigger. As long as there are more people, maybe outstanding talents will emerge.” There is no one in the pass. People inside the pass regard the outside of the pass as a bitter and cold place, a place of punishment, and no one wants to come. Look at Linghuye, they rely on the families in the pass, and there are still some talents in the Linghu clan. Yes, but we are all out of the gate. We are two lonely men, and it is good for us to kill people with knives. If you ask them to collect taxes, settle accounts, and write official documents, each one will become weak, and the three sticks will not work. You can't beat it!"
"By the way, what about Tai'an City? That Li Dachui?" Luo Hua suddenly said: "This person is not simple. Are you saying that the rise of Tai'an City must be led by this person? , Can’t you recruit such a person?”
“Will such a person accept my solicitation?” Xiao Changche laughed: “Maybe they still want to recruit me! "
"What do you mean?" Luo Hua was surprised: "A horse thief!"
"A special horse thief!" Xiao Changcai said: "He has strong military force under his command, and he also has the golden chicken that can lay golden eggs in Tai'an City. This is just on the surface. Don't think I am a third-grade cavalry general, but really In terms of strength, I'm afraid he is much stronger than me."
"If he is really capable, it is not impossible for us to join him!" Luo Hua said: "Who can destroy Beiyuan? , Who will we follow to kill Yuan Gou, don’t you think so?”
Xiao Changche looked awkward: “That’s what I say, but this Li Dachui is really hateful. How can I get along with him?” Within three words, I wanted to tear his mouth apart and break his neck."
"Is this person so annoying? What's wrong with him?" Luo Hua was surprised.
Xiao Changche shook his head: "This one is born to be a bitch, do you know? He actually said that one day if I fall into his hands, he will put me in women's clothes and dance in Tai'an City. They also want to sell tickets for one hundred taels of silver each. They also say that I am too charming to scare anyone on the battlefield. They want to tailor a devil mask for me. Do you think this person is mean-mouthed?"
Luo Hua laughed loudly: "It's true that he has a mean mouth, but this person is also very interesting! It would be great if you have the opportunity to meet this person. See what the person who can make you so angry to death but can do nothing about it looks like. What's it like?"
"It's ordinary!" Xiao Changche snorted.
"Even if you can't kill him, you can still beat him up!" Luo Hua said curiously: "He has a bad mouth, so he swollen his mouth and naturally he can't speak."
Xiao Changche was a little helpless: "I might not be able to defeat him alone!"
"What?" Luo Hua was really shocked this time: "You are Xuan Yuanjiu Although you have just stepped into the class, at your age, if you have this kind of cultivation, you are probably the only one in the world. Isn’t Li Dachui only twenty-five or six?”
"Similar to my age!" Xiao Changcai said: "I used to think that in terms of martial arts training, I could be called a rare genius in a hundred years, and the skills I practiced complemented each other well with me leading troops in battle. It's helpful. But after meeting this bastard, I realized that there really is someone out there! "Confidence."
When it comes to practicing martial arts, Luo Hua couldn't help but frown.
“Your sky-defeating technique is too overbearing, and evil spirits and murderous auras enter the body. Although this technique has advanced rapidly, the damage to the body has also deepened with the deepening of the technique. Back then, Li Muye was in his prime. Although my death is due to depression, I'm afraid it's also related to the Heaven-Fighting Technique. In more than a hundred years, no one has been able to practice the Heaven-Fighting Technique to your level. To be honest, I really am. Some are frightened. Back then, Li Muye was at the top of Xuanyuan, and now you have reached the ninth rank. It's a matter of both worlds. Since I have gained the benefits of this technique, I have to bear its disadvantages. Besides, didn't the person who taught me to conquer the sky also say that as long as I can find an innate martial arts that combines hardness and softness to combine yin and yang? A master can help me heal the hidden wounds in my body."
"Easier said than done!" Luo Hua said: "It is rare to find a congenital master, and the practice is to combine strength and softness with yin and yang. Hehe, have you ever heard of one appearing throughout the ages?”
"It doesn't matter, don't I always have precious elixirs ready now? Mr. Fu from Hulu Valley liked me and said that whenever there is a problem, I will go to him."
"Treating the symptoms but not the root cause. He also said that when your skill reaches the peak of Xuanyuan, he will be the best at it!"
