[E. Steady as a mountain (blue): Your lower body is stable and less likely to be shaken by the enemy's impact. 】
[Ding·Arrow and Horse Skilled (White): Improve your riding and archery skills. 】
[Ding: Hungry (Blue - Divergent): You have a higher tolerance to hunger and thirst than ordinary people. This effect can affect those around you. 】
Seeing this, Zhao Haiping couldn't help but be stunned.
"New talent skill? Has built-in divergence effect?"
He had seen these three talents before, especially Hungry, which he had already tried in the dungeon of the Warrior Trial.
It can only be said that in order not to drink horse manure juice, this talent is simply more important than the golden talent.
But at this time, this talent appeared again, with a "divergent" note behind it.
Divergent means that this skill has changed from a talent skill for oneself to a halo effect that can also affect people around him.
“But, what’s the use of the talent of being hungry?
"In these troubled times, there is indeed not much food. If I had obtained this skill earlier, I might have been able to defend Tongguan for a few more days without food.
"Forget it, what else are you thinking about Tongguan?
"The arrows and stones are gone. Even if you don't need to eat, you won't be able to defend it for long. And judging from the current situation, whether or not you defend Tong Pass does not seem to have much impact on the clearance of this dungeon..."
After some consideration, Zhao Haiping chose this "starving" talent with a divergent effect.
Then, he took the people around him and prepared to wander around Chang'an.
As for the target, it is also very clear, that is the Shence Army around Chang'an!
According to historical records, there were actually tens of thousands of Shence troops in Guanzhong at this time.
We can't really count on the combat effectiveness of these Shence troops, but no matter what, they are much better than the three thousand men Zhang Chengfan brought to guard Tongguan before.
After all, those Shence troops who stayed in Chang'an City were all children of rich families, and as long as these Shence troops who were sent out were scattered in Guanzhong and not in the capital, the proportion of children from rich families would drop significantly.
Children from rich families would never do this kind of hard work.
Judging from historical records, Fengxiang Jiedushi Zheng Tian did later send people to recruit tens of thousands of Shence troops scattered in Guanzhong and incorporated them into Fengxiang's Liang army. This greatly boosted the military's power and later defeated Huang Xianzhi.
Most of these Shence troops were from Chang'an. After entering Chang'an, Huang Xianzhi burned, killed, and looted, losing the support of the people. After learning about what happened in Chang'an City, they who were originally waiting on the sidelines became filled with grief and anger, and began to share the same hatred with the enemy.
But at this time, Huang Xianzhi was just about to enter Chang'an, and these Shence troops were still hesitant and waiting.
In fact, these people were waiting and watching. On the one hand, it was because Huang Xianzhi's army was approaching fiercely, and they were as confused as other Jiedu envoys; on the other hand, it was mainly because Liang Xizong's court was really corrupt and failed to integrate at all. The troops around Chang'an did not even give clear instructions to these Shence troops.
Judging from the fact that Liang Xizong fled in a hurry without even informing the clan and officials, it is not surprising at all that he could do such a thing.
Therefore, after Zhao Haiping thought about it for a while, he made a plan.
He still had the identity of Zhang Chengfan at this time, and Zhang Chengfan's official position was still the general of Zuo Shence Army after all. In this emergency situation, he can still recruit these Shence troops for his own use.
If all these Shence troops can be gathered together, they may be able to have a certain degree of combat effectiveness through simple training.
Coupled with Zhao Haiping's ability to lead troops, he may be able to find an opportunity to defeat Huang Xianzhi.
"Hey, the troubled times in Liang Mo are really a mess that is hard to deal with."
Zhao Haiping was lamenting the current predicament while avoiding Huang Xianzhi's troops and marching toward the periphery of Chang'an in search of other Shence troops.
It has to be said that the Troubled Times in the Late Liang Dynasty was simply a nightmare difficulty dungeon for time travellers.
Zhao Haiping also wanted to try other methods, but after thinking about it, only the four parties could consider it at this time.
And these four forces are actually very unreliable.
Not to mention Liang Xizong, Tian Lingzi, the deceitful eunuch, has always been there. Although Liang Xizong is still the nominal co-owner of the world, he is just a fool, and there is no good fruit to be gained by taking refuge in his designation.
The second force is Huang Xianzhi, but from all aspects, Huang Xianzhi is a typical peasant uprising army. He cannot restrain his subordinates and cannot enforce orders and prohibitions. It is okay to destroy the old system, but if he wants to build a new world, that is Thinking too much.
What's more, if you take refuge in Huang Xianzhi, you will not be taken seriously by Huang Xianzhi, and it will also be difficult for you to team up with Huang Xianzhi's arrogant soldiers.
The third force was Li Keyong, the leader of the Shatuo cavalry, while the fourth force was Zhu Wen, who was still rising to prominence under Huang Xianzhi at this time and later surrendered to the Liang Dynasty.
Anyway, no matter which party it is, it doesn't look like a wise leader who can help the country.
In the final analysis, the history of the late Liang Dynasty was a history of endless chaos after the warriors were not under control and the feudal towns were separated.
The main theme of this period of history is the transformation of vassal towns and the development of strong soldiers and horses as the emperor.
Not only was the entire Liang Dynasty becoming a vassal town, but even the interior of the vassal town was being further transformed into a vassal town.
The leader of a feudal town is, to put it bluntly, the leader of the alliance elected by countless military leaders. If this alliance leader cannot satisfy the interests of his military leaders, he may be abolished at any time.
For example, Li Keyong's son Li Cunxu seemed to be prospering in the early days when he conquered all the wars in the north and south, but once he had the idea of concentrating military power and controlling his generals, the good situation immediately collapsed.
It was not until the establishment of the Qi Dynasty that Qi Taizu finally suppressed the warriors under these vassal towns.
As for the serious problems caused by the Qi Dynasty's use of culture to suppress military force... that is another topic.
In short, Zhao Haiping asked himself that even at his level, it would be difficult to make any substantial changes in this troubled world.
However, the ultimate goal of this copy should not be to save Liang Mo's dilemma. This dilemma is indeed a bit unsolvable at present.
Unless there are ultimate powerful men like Liang Taizong and Sheng Taizu who emerge from the sky and cut through the chaos quickly, the chaos can only continue.
The goal at this stage should be to defeat Huang Xianzhi.
Thinking of this, Zhao Haiping continued on the road to find other Shence Army.
…
When Zhao Haiping led the remaining soldiers to search for other Shence troops in Guanzhong, Chu Ge was still trying as Zheng Tian.
He has tried many methods.
For example, try to ask the trusted generals to directly kill Wang Hui, the envoy of Huang Xianzhi who came to surrender, or try to persuade these generals with more reason and emotion, using more excuses that are suitable for this era.
But without exception, these attempts failed.
And the deadlock in this, to put it bluntly, is only one.
That's the human heart!
Killing Huang Xianzhi's envoy could indeed force Fengxiang's defenders to have no way out, but after Huang Xianzhi's army pressed on, Chu Ge discovered that the generals still failed to work together.
So in a fight, there is still no chance of winning.
As for all the rhetoric that unites people's hearts...
No matter how eloquent Chu Ge was, his words were astonishing, but in the face of tangible interests, the generals were still moved on the surface, but they were not truly united in their hearts.
This made Chu Ge feel very puzzling.
What is missing?
According to historical records, Zheng Tian clearly convinced the generals, then organized his army to prepare for war and defeated Huang Xianzhi.
But now, even if he has acquired the natural skills of the Orderer, he still can't do what Zheng Tian did back then.
Chu Ge was convinced that he must have missed some crucial information.
So, he temporarily quit the game and prepared to check more historical materials.
The first thing I found was this piece of historical data.
Peng Jingrou, the supervisor of the army, and Zuo Xuli, the general, made a declaration and signed a grass-roots form to express their gratitude to Xianzhi. The supervisor and the envoys were having a banquet. During the banquet, the generals from left to right were crying. The envoy was surprised, and Sun Chu, the guest in charge, said: "My husband is unable to come due to the wind, so I feel sad."
The key to this is that "during the banquet, everyone from the left to the bottom wept."
Why are they crying?
But this time when he checked the historical data, Chu Ge discovered that there was another sentence at the end.
"Everyone among the people who heard it cried."
In other words, at this banquet, not only all the generals cried, but even when the news spread among the people, all the people who heard about it cried.
Therefore, Zheng Tian believed that people's hearts had not yet disliked the Liang Dynasty.
At this time, these people did not cry, indicating that a crucial opportunity was missing.
And this opportunity is probably at the banquet...
Chu Ge still had no clue, so he decided to continue searching for other records in historical materials.
It wasn't until he turned to two other historical materials that a bold idea finally emerged in his mind!
The first historical data comes from another version of historical records.
Compared with the previous historical data, it is basically the same, with only two words different.
The supervisory army and the envoys had a banquet, music was played, and everyone from the left to the right wept.
The previous historical data did not record the word "music performance". It only said that all the generals and soldiers cried during the banquet, so Chu Ge felt confused and thought that this was something that was bound to happen.
But now it seems that if this second historical record is true...
Then this "music performance" is most likely a key factor that makes "Jiang Zuo and the following people cry"!
So the question is, what kind of music is it?
Chu Ge found the answer from another historical data.
This historical material comes from the early years of the Liang Dynasty, when Liang Gaozong was in power.
"In July of the third year, Shang (Liang Gaozong) held a banquet in the Xianheng Hall of Jiucheng Palace..."
This historical record records that when Emperor Gaozong of Liang held a banquet in the Xianheng Palace, the music was playing. At this time, Taichang Shaoqing came up and said: "The Music and Dance of Breaking the Formation" is a piece of music that promotes the greatness of the ancestors. Since the death of the late emperor (Liang Taizong) After that, I stopped playing it because I was worried that His Majesty would be saddened by the memory of the late Emperor when he heard this music. I serve in the music department and thought that "Broken Formation Music" should be played at this time to express filial piety and enjoy the music with the world. .
So Liang Gaozong was deeply convinced and ordered "Broken Formation Music" to be played. After the performance, "The emperor (Gaozong Li Zhi) swallowed hard and communicated with tears. His subordinates were in tears and could not look up."
Finally, the mystery that had been covered up unfolded in front of Chu Ge.
He couldn't help but suddenly realized: "It's... King Qin's joy of breaking the formation!"
There is no record in the historical data of the specific music played at that time.
However, it can be roughly inferred from various details of historical data.
During the banquet for Huang Xianzhi's envoy, music was played and the soldiers shed tears.
Since the history books mention playing music, there is obviously a direct causal link between this music and the tears of the soldiers. And the generally melodious and soothing palace music, or the kind of peaceful and melodious music, obviously cannot have such a powerful appeal.
Moreover, it was later mentioned that "all the people who heard it cried." If it was just the soldiers crying, it might not be enough to make the people cry.
It must be the song itself, and the fact that it brought the soldiers to tears, that made the people who heard it also weep!
Well, this piece is military music and has a great influence among the people...
The answer is almost ready to come out.
It is "The Music of King Qin Breaking the Formation"!
According to historical records, "Breaking Formation Music" was created by Taizong. When Taizong was the king of Qin, he conquered all directions, and the folk song "The Music of the King of Qin Breaking the Formation" was composed. ...One hundred and twenty men wore armor and held halberds, and their armor was decorated with silver. Carry forward the vigorous and vigorous voice, and the sound is healthy and generous. When the banquet was played, the emperor avoided his seat, and all those sitting at the banquet were happy. ... From the "Broken Formation Dance" onwards, there are thunder and big drums, mixed with the music of Qiuci, the sound vibrates for hundreds of miles and shakes the valley.
In other words, "The Music of the King of Qin Breaking the Formation" is Kang's passionate military music and the most inspiring.
This is further confirmed by the fact that Emperor Gaozong had a "crying exchange" with his ministers after listening to "The Music of the King of Qin Breaking the Formation" in the court hall.
…
Chu Ge couldn't help but remain speechless.
"I see!"
In fact, after playing Zheng Tian for the first time and trying to persuade the generals to no avail, Chu Ge vaguely realized that something was missing.
Moreover, it is something that cannot be accomplished without manpower.
He had tried every means to persuade the generals, but to no avail. The generals still had their own thoughts and ideas.
And Chu Ge never expected that what really turned everything around was a piece of music written by Liang Taizong more than two hundred years ago!
This result surprised Chu Ge, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was reasonable.
Why was it that no matter what Zheng Tian said before, he could not truly unite these generals?
Because in the Liang Dynasty, he was just a former prime minister and a military governor.
No matter how much we do, it will never be able to awaken people's nostalgia, nostalgia and yearning for the Liang Dynasty.
However, Liang Taizong truly reshaped the spirit of the entire nation, allowing the powerful Liang Dynasty to dominate the barbarians for more than two hundred years. At the same time, he also implanted the genes of pioneering, enterprising, heroic and prosperous people into the minds of everyone.
At the moment when the Liang Dynasty was about to be destroyed and they heard "The Song of King Qin Breaking the Formation", these generals were awakened to the pride and pride deep in their hearts.
At this moment, they were still willing to admit that they were the people of the Liang Dynasty.
They are still willing to take up arms and fight for the Liang Dynasty!
Chu Ge plays a problem that Jiedushi couldn't solve despite racking his brains, but it was simply solved by a piece of music written by Liang Taizong more than two hundred years ago...!
