Daming Taoist Medicine

Chapter 156 Chapter 156

Fighting each other for half an hour, Yang Luo and Yang Luo actually had a chance to defeat the enemy and win.The "Flowers and Full Moon" shot by Linkong could cut the twins' throats with one stroke, but Yang Fan cleverly pulled a little distance away. With just such a detail, Luo Po understood Yang Fan's intentions.

Yang Fan wants to use the twins as a whetstone so that his realm can be improved faster.

No one is more suitable for this role than the twins, not to mention the combination of tactics, "Flying Wings and Flying Together" has an overwhelming advantage over the twins' joint combat skills.If he killed them prematurely, not to mention the loss of the mysterious benefit of "flying together", he would also make himself face a stronger opponent.

But he said that the people in the city here are fighting fiercely by themselves, while the barbarians outside are rushing to catch up.The cavalry passed by, all the beasts hid, and the birds flew in fright.Yellow sand filled the sky, roaring like a flood.

Ebony rode up the hillside, watching the cavalry swallowing mountains and rivers down the mountain, full of thoughts.

"Father!" As soon as the words fell, Tana was dressed in white and stood on the belly of the white horse, standing side by side with the ebony bridle.

Looking at Mu Chenguo's favorite jewel, Wu Mu took off the emperor's mask for a rare occasion, revealing his father's side.

Tana frowned slightly, and thoughtfully said: "Father! My daughter thinks it's wrong."

Ebony smiled and said, "Oh... what's wrong?"

Tana said seriously: "We won the demoted state with ease, but we couldn't knock on the door if we wanted to take the Chuanzhou. Now we want to seize the Qingzhou territory, why are we going all out in such a aggressive way, completely betting everything like a gambler? I think there is something wrong with it , but I can’t tell what’s wrong, I feel that Zhu Chao is wrong, and I also feel that my father’s arrangement is lacking.”

Wu Mu laughed loudly, and said with satisfaction: "It's no wonder that he is my smartest child."

Tana crossed her arms, bowed and saluted, and said, "Please enlighten me, Father, so that I can solve my doubts."

Wumu asked back: "Do you know why demoting the state is called demoting the state?"

Tana shook her head.

Wumu said: "Relegation, common relegation. Prisoners from all dynasties have been relegated thousands of miles away. They have served and suffered here for generations. This is a barren land composed of descendants of criminals and a few tribes. It is not an exaggeration to call it an abandoned city. The few The tribe still lives in the mountains, hunting for a living, making animal skins for clothing, walking without binding feet, and drinking without heating. Therefore, every time there is a war, it is not difficult to capture here, and sometimes it can be said to be easy to get. This is not the Zhu Dynasty. Incompetence, but the court intentionally did it, one is in a place they are familiar with, which is not good for our tactics; the other is to lengthen our front, which is not good for our supplies; Building is good."

Tana said thoughtfully: "This is the reason why the father Han did not embarrass those tribes after he captured the demoted state, but traded with them. This is also the reason why he recruited troops in the demoted state to form Zizhong's army?"

Ebony nodded and said with a smile: "I dare not use it unreservedly, but I can still use it for a while. A group of people who have been abandoned by the country, give him respect and status, and they will become fresh blood injected into the grassland, bringing them culture makes us young."

Tana said: "My father said: women are resources, labor is a resource, and culture is a resource. My daughter deeply agrees with this."

Wu Mu nodded, expressing his pleasure that his daughter could remember what he said, looking towards the direction of the grassland, and said: "Why is the road to Shu difficult to attack? This is actually expected. Sichuan people are strong and fearless. The imperial court paid attention to it, and spared no expense. In addition, the first-line canyon is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the walls of Yumen Pass are thick. Because it is difficult to eat, food and grass are hoarded behind the army. I expected siege wars, tug-of-war, protracted wars, but I did not expect Let Feng Qingyang figure out the location and order someone to burn people's food and grass, until now, it is still unknown which expert from Zhu Chao is leading the army to burn food."

Tana was still waiting to ask, but was interrupted by Ebony: "As for why I didn't hold back, it's just because we have no way out."

Tana opened her eyes wide, looking at Ebony cutely.

Ebony smiled and said, "You are the most beautiful 'stunned' I have ever seen for my father, a pair of eyes that can shame the stars, really the best pearl in the grassland."

Tana pouted and snorted softly.The voice is sweet and glutinous, and the sound of milk is milky, but this sound will waste the youth of many people.

Ebony smiled and said, "Do you know the real intention of instigating this war?"

Tana said: "Naturally, it is to expand the territory."

Ebony is serious: "We are a nomadic country, and we have learned some farming culture, so we have a small number of farmers, but our geography is not good, and the climate is cold, so we can only sow once a year. We eat according to the face of God. , you know this national condition."

Tana said: "My daughter knows this, but what does it have to do with war? Heaven guides nature, and nature guides everything. This rule is not a shackle for us. This is the way of heaven that everyone and every country follows."

Ebony said: "Next, you will know whether there is any connection. The extreme north is here to report, three years of severe cold, the winter has been extended by one month, and this extreme cold is still spreading to the south, the weather is bad, the vegetation is not good Long, there are no horses and animals, and more than [-] people have died in the famine, and you know that the number that I can see must be much smaller than the real number."

Tana snorted coldly: "Those big tribes probably didn't help the people, they must still be making money, waiting for an opportunity to expand the tribe's population, right?"

Ebony's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a trace of murderous intent, and sneered: "People, no matter they are rich or noble, they are all the same. Gao, as everyone knows, the reason why our Wu Suhari family can be the king of the grassland is not that we get more, but that we divide more. The "Doctrine of the Mean" by the Han family is well written, and balance is king."

"War is also a gimmick to balance rights and interests. I used 150,000 old and weak kings to recruit [-] tribal soldiers, and then recruited [-] people who were starving to death. People who can't eat enough and can't support them go to the Zhu Dynasty to grab resources. Internal troubles become foreign troubles. We unite inside the country and make money from abroad. We have no losses, but we have weakened all tribes and benefited the people of the world. Do you think it is right to do so? ?So the purpose of this war is not to kill many people, but to kill many people."

Tana asked: "Isn't the father in danger?"

Wu Mu sighed, and after a while, he said leisurely: "I am a father in my fifties, I have lost the energy of a young man, and my previous ambitions have weakened, and my health is getting worse. If you don’t do anything in terms of position, it’s better to die for the country and leave a good name. The reason why I personally conquered is because of the people’s aspirations and the army’s morale, so that these people will turn into tomorrow’s fertilizer without hesitation; the second is to give you The two elder brothers make room for them to compete, you know, the king of the grassland is never chosen, but fought for."

"But won't there be internal friction in this way?"

Wu Mu laughed loudly and said: "I have already made arrangements for this. Do you know why I brought so many masters of the rivers and lakes and let the generals stay on the grassland? Those tribal leaders only thought that I was wary of the prince, but how could I know that I was actually wary of them?" The four generals who are loyal to the royal family have passed me, and each of them has a secret letter, which naturally means that they are not allowed to participate in the succession. If someone crosses the line, others can attack together. So your two brothers The road to supremacy can only draw the help of the major tribes, no matter who wins or loses, it will only consume the tribes in the end, not the Wang family."

Tana smiled and said: "It is impossible for those tribes to save their lives wisely and accumulate strength. If they don't choose, no matter which brother of mine sits on the throne, they will definitely have to settle the score. Father is indeed the most wise man in the grassland A man with no plans."

Wumu looked at Tana and nodded approvingly, and said, "My father has already talked about this, so you don't worry about your own safety?"

Tana said: "Since the father brought his daughter, there is always a reason. What is the daughter worried about? The daughter is with the father, even if she dies, she is happy. Besides, I know that the father will definitely arrange for me. There is a way out. There is no way for my son to kill him, but you are just a beautiful daughter like me, how can you not feel distressed?" When he said this, he covered his mouth and smiled.

Wumu looked at her daughter lovingly, and said, "You are smart and beautiful. You are twenty-eight years old. With your charm and intelligence, whichever brother you stand by can sit on the throne. Everyone wants you. If you do this, you will be ruined." You are naturally not in the minority. Bringing you by your side will give your brothers a relatively level playing field, and protect you well. I will quietly leave a force for you in the demoted state. You use me This iron talisman can drive them." As he spoke, he took out an iron talisman from his pocket and handed it to Tana.

Tana took it, hung it around her neck, and patted it on her collar.

Wu Mu smiled and said: "Don't rush back to the grassland, go to the mountains in the demoted state to find a teacher named Kong Ru, worship him as a teacher, and study hard."

Tana said: "Father! Why didn't you ask me to worship a famous senior as my teacher, but let me worship a sour scholar as my teacher? I think it's good to know those boring words. Why bother to think hard about it?"

Wumu said: "Martial arts can only turn oneself into a weapon. The peace of an acre of land at the foot of the town is nothing more than wisdom. Wisdom is the best weapon. It can conquer cities and land from a distance, protect the environment and the people from a distance, and communicate with God's will. You can wave Baichuan. And that is not a sour scholar, he is a disciple of Feng Qingyang, and this identity alone is enough for you to listen and be taught."
