Northland, late autumn. The death of Tang Shiqi, Prime Minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, kicked off the national war in the north. The Great Zhou Dynasty officially declared war on the Yan Kingdom.
Gu Mingyuan, the general of the Zhu Kingdom who originally guarded the Great Wall in the north, was transferred back to Haojing by the King of Zhou Dynasty, and the defense of the Great Wall was handed over to the guilty minister Gucheng.
Gu Mingyuan returned to the Great Zhou Dynasty and took charge of the commander's seal. King Hu Fu of Zhou mobilized his troops. After the autumn harvest, Gu Mingyuan received the sword from the king and led an army of one hundred thousand to the south.
The army went south, marched to Chen Mianchi, and assembled local troops from the southern border of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a total of 300,000 people, preparing to attack Handan, the capital of Yan, in one fell swoop to avenge the Prime Minister.
In the same year, Weiguo raised troops. General Hou Yuchun led 100,000 troops to attack Qiufeng Pass, one of the four passes in the north.
The Qiufeng Pass was originally the boundary between the Wei Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom. It had been controlled by the Wei Kingdom for seventy years, but was seized by the Jin Kingdom in a blitzkrieg in the middle of last year.
King Wei was furious and ordered General Hou Yuchun to fight to the death. He must recapture Qiufeng Pass, and then rely on Qiufeng Pass to move his army southward and insert a sharp knife into the important town in the north of Jin!
At this time, the war between Zheng and Song Dynasty had just come to an end. The Song Dynasty was defeated miserably. The king of Song Dynasty, Ziqi Qi, demoted the commander-in-chief Song Zhiwen to a commoner in anger. When the famous Confucian swordsman in the north left Suiyang City, everyone shouted He was beaten and stabbed in the street. His whereabouts are unknown.
Although Zheng Guo won the war, the internal and external wars had torn the country into pieces. The vassal towns were separated and the counties and counties that supported the army and respected themselves were self-governing one after another. Even if the Zheng Guo Prince Liu Xianbing ascended the throne and became king, he could not rectify the chaos for a while. He was worried about the domestic chaos and was quite worried. For powerlessness.
The State of Qi was heavily armed and planned to attack Dangyang Pass on the border of Qi and Yan. Dangyang Pass is a dangerous pass on the border between the southern region of Yan State and Qi State. Together with Qiufeng Pass, Hulao Pass and the Great Wall of the North, it is also known as the Four Northern Passes.
The troops of Qi State came to Dangyang Pass, and Dangyang Pass was in danger. General Zhenguan asked Wang Lang for help, and the southern region of Yan State was also involved in the disputes among other countries.
The situation in the north is like fire and water, with the Great Zhou Dynasty as the boundary point, and Chen Mianchi, a soldier in the south, goes to war with the Yan State. In the east, the defending soldiers approached Qiufeng Pass, intending to retake the natural chasm on the border between the two countries.
The western border troops Chen Zhou surrounded the Qi border to prevent Qi from suddenly launching a war and fight on two fronts. The seven major countries in the north, except for Zheng and Song, which had just finished fighting, were involved in the war at the same time. For a time, war broke out on the borders of the countries. The small countries that were struggling to survive in the cracks lined up one after another, hoping to obtain gains in a new round of national war. A glimmer of hope.
Following the turmoil in the northern border, the temple dispute once again pushed the people of the northern border into hell on earth. After witnessing the tragedy of corpses strewn across the borders of various countries, the bard wrote
The poem "The kingdoms of Zhou, Qi, Yan, Wei and Jin. When they prospered, the people suffered; when they died, the people suffered." The poem made the scholars all over the world moved for a while, and I couldn't help but shed tears when I read it!
There has never been a bloodless national war, only a bloody battlefield. And the new generation of famous generals who are about to emerge in the national war will step on the mountains of corpses and seas of blood to ascend to the Iron Throne of the God of War!
The old gods are dead and new gods must be established. But all this has nothing to do with the young man living in the mountains for the time being.
...The eastern border of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Funiu Mountain. To the east of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Wei and Jin were fighting fiercely around Qiufeng Pass. The King of Zhou judged that if the two countries were fighting, Wei would not be so arrogant as to want to fight on two fronts with the Great Zhou and Jin. Therefore, throughout the country, the eastern border was the most peaceful.
Funiu Mountain has continuous mountains and blocked roads. Apart from the small and large villages scattered among it, there is only one small town with a population of more than a thousand.
It is said to be a small town, but in fact it is just a settlement built by people from several nearby villages.
The town is called Zengtou City, and there is a small river nearby called Hengqu. A corpse floated on the canal a month ago, and happened to be hit by a little girl herding cattle by the river.
The companions who were herding cattle with the little girl were frightened by the floating corpse and ran away, crying and going home to tell the adults.
But the little girl was brave, plopped into the river, and fished the body up to the shore. After fishing it out, the little girl realized that the corpse was actually a living person!
By the time the children who ran home and called the adults returned to the river, the little girl had already covered her body with wounds.
The "corpse" was brought home on the back of an ox. This incident immediately spread in the town. Some people say that the young man that the little girl fished out from the river was originally a rich man. He was robbed and killed by strong men in the mountains, and was thrown into the river and floated here.
Some people also said that the young man was not a good person. The little girl's family might have saved the bad guy, so they had to throw him into the river and float away to avoid bringing disaster to the town.
Others said that the young man was already dead and that saving him would be in vain. The little girl lived in a remote suburb of the town. She was only dependent on her mother, who was always in poor health. She had a stubborn personality. No matter what the people in the town said, she just kept the young man at home and fed her a little porridge every day. , so after more than ten days, just when the little girl thought that the young man might never wake up again, he miraculously woke up.
When the young man was fished out of the river, he was covered with bruises. The only old doctor in the town couldn't withstand the little girl's various requests. He once went to the thatched cottage in the suburbs to take a look at the young man, sighed and shook his head repeatedly.
When he woke up at that time, he alarmed the old doctor and came to the thatched hut again. Seeing that the young man was really awake, he couldn't help but marveled. He touched his goatee and said, "What a surprise! What a surprise! This is amazing!" I am so lucky to have survived this life!" When the young man woke up, the happiest thing was the little girl, who quickly asked the young man what his name was.
The young man said his name was Aze, and he was going to the mountains to collect winds. Unexpectedly, he slipped and fell down the mountain, and that's how he ended up floating in the river.
The little girl's mother was kind-hearted and saw that the young man did not look like a treacherous person, so she left him to live in a thatched hut.
This stay has lasted until now. In order to repay the mother and daughter, the young man helped the family herd cattle after he was able to go to the fields.
The cow does not belong to this family, but to the neighbor's family not far from the thatched house. The neighbor next door had a pitiful mother and daughter who depended on each other. They always lent their own cows to the little girl during spring plowing, and the little girl only had to help his family herd the cows.
When a young man goes out to herd cattle, he is always very lucky to encounter a hare knocked unconscious next to a wooden stake, or a pheasant accidentally flies to him and is caught by him. In the evening, he will carry the hare, pheasant and other things. Return to the thatched cottage on the outskirts of the town.
The little girl's mother would give half of the hares and pheasants brought back by the young people to the neighbors every time. The little girl was so naive that she thought the young man was really lucky. One time, she ran to the wooden post where the young man said she could pick up rabbits. She went there for several days, but she didn't wait until she was knocked unconscious. The hare on the stake realized that she had been deceived.
When she got home, the little girl complained to her mother, but the woman just laughed, covered her mouth and coughed a few times, and her face turned red.
That young man was naturally Bai Ze. And that little girl has a very nice name, Jian Xi.
Bai Ze had only been herding cattle in the town for a few days when he learned that the place he was in was an unknown mountain in the eastern border of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Recalling the turbulence of time and space in the Kunlun Secret Realm, he is still afraid. He often thought that if the Dragon Roar of the Eight Desolations hadn't inspired the dragon nature of the Black and Yellow Dragon Soul and transformed his body into a dragon, he would most likely have been strangled in the turbulent flow of time and space.
And the initiator of all this was the big red bird that submerged into his body and fell into a deep sleep. When Bai Ze found out where he was, he wanted to recuperate and have some free time, so he was in no hurry to leave.
There is his life card on Zuowang Peak, so the brothers and sisters must know that he is safe and sound. It's so quiet in the mountains, and after an autumn rain, the air is even fresher.
After the new rain, the weather is really late and autumn comes. The bright moon shines among the pines. Qingquan Stone flows upstream. This evening, the small town library.
There is only one room in the library. The teacher only lectures here, but his residence is not there. Since the only teacher in the town is quiet, the school is also located in the suburbs. Children in the town, regardless of gender, can listen to the teacher's lectures as long as their families pay ten bundles every year.
But no one in this small town thinks that girls also need to study. There are only a few families who can even afford to cultivate.
Therefore, there are not many students in the study hall, and there are only about twenty students in total. It was just when school was about to end, and the children in the study hall were eager to return home. When they read the "Xue Er Pian" taught by their husband today, their voices were a little scattered.
The elderly gentleman got angry and started shouting. Several unlucky children were called forward. The gentleman asked for a ruler, and each of them was slapped three times on the palm. The younger boy burst into tears after being beaten. It's almost out.
"Don't cry!" the gentleman scolded,
"If you don't study carefully, you should be punished. How is it appropriate to cry and cry?" The child was so frightened that he held back his tears.
The little girl outside the study hall heard the sound, puffed out, and laughed rudely. The study hall was extremely quiet because the husband was asking for a ruler. Jian Xi burst into laughter, which immediately made the younger child's face turn red with annoyance.
At this time, Bai Ze led the cow outside the study hall. Seeing this scene, the still pale young man couldn't help but smile.
The gentleman in the library obviously heard the commotion and glanced at where Jian Xi was. The little girl was so frightened that she shrank her neck, hid in the corner and stuck out her tongue.
"You guys, when you come to school tomorrow, you need to memorize what you learned today into chants. I will test them one by one!" After that, the teacher put away the ruler.
"After school."
"Thank you for your hard work, sir!" The children in the study hall stood up straight and saluted respectfully. The gentleman nodded and walked out. He glanced at Jian Xi who was hiding in the corner again. The little girl immediately stood up straight and called out: "Hello, sir!" Bai Ze, who was holding the cow rope, bumped into each other.
"Have you ever read a book?" The old man had a slender face and looked at Bai Ze. Although the young man only wore coarse linen clothes, he had a rare gentle temperament. For a moment, he inevitably felt a love for talents.
Bai Ze smiled and said, "I read some of them when I was a child."
"Well, you should always read the articles of sages. The principles and principles contained in them are very profound." The old gentleman nodded slightly and said while stroking his beard.
"Junior has learned a lesson." Bai Zeli said. …
