My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 202 Thoughts
Li Xiang couldn't change this situation, he couldn't stop those people from mocking casually, the only thing he could do was to escape from that place.

If you can't change others, change yourself!
These hardships can only be endured silently, no one listens to his explanation, you explain again, in the eyes of everyone, you are the so-called Badi.This title seems to have been imprinted on them, the descendants of the Ba people.

He was always indignant about it.

Everyone is a citizen of the Jin Dynasty, why do we have to distinguish between high and low?
Moreover, the distinction of high and low is not based on status or title, but on place of birth. What a shame this is!

After hearing Luo Shang's latest order to expel their refugees, the grievances that had been suppressed for a long time exploded instantly like a volcanic eruption.

It was your imperial court who moved us to Lueyang, not our Li family or us Ba people who wanted to go to that poor land.

Our Li family and even the Ba people who followed our Li family have been working tirelessly for the court for so many years and guarding one side for the court. Why did they fall into such a situation?
Being ridiculed by everyone as Ba Di?

After finally escaping back to their homeland, they were forced to leave again?
We have just made great contributions to the imperial court, we have just quelled Zhao Min's rebellion, why can't our hard work be exchanged for the treatment of relocating to Bashu?

Since your court is unkind, don't blame me, Li Xiang, for being unrighteous!

Even if we face many hardships and dangers, even if we have to escape from death, I, Li Xiang, will never let my children return to Lueyang, and I will never let my children be ridiculed by the world as Badi again.

"Danger," he made up his mind at this time, the worry on his face dissipated, replaced by a resolute expression, "Go and invite Yan Ling here, I want to discuss it with Yan Ling again as a father."

"Junhou, we have six victories and Luohou has six defeats." Yan Shi talked to Li Xiang, Li Yang, the Li family's children and the refugee leaders who heard the news in the tent.He used to be a Shanggu Ling in Yongzhou, and he was full of resourcefulness. The refugees never called him by his name from Li Xiang down, but called him Yan Ling.

"We and other refugees live in the land of Shu, and we cannot survive unless we keep warm in groups. But the people of Shu indulge in peace and happiness, and there is no one to rule in a piece of scattered sand. This is the victory of the people's hearts! This is the first victory."

"Luo Hou promoted the new policy and offended the nobles in the middle of Shu. The civil and military forces in Yizhou and Luo Hou were at odds with each other. Everyone knows about this matter. There is a saying in Shu: "It's okay to be a refugee, but Luo Hou kills me." Here It can be seen. This is the second victory."

"Luo Hou is benevolent and indiscriminate, the government is lenient, the civil and military in Yizhou do not feel their virtues and let themselves go, and even the politics and religion are deserted, and the military is insufficient. But the princes are decisive, and we are the refugees day and night. , this is the third victory."

"Yizhou is newly defeated. The so-called generals of the defeated army cannot be brave, and the great officials of the subjugated country cannot survive. But we refugees are relying on the prestige of the new victory, and our morale is high. This is the fourth victory."

"Everyone in Yizhou just wants us to return home, and they don't want to be our enemies. Their hearts are not firm, their intentions are suspicious, and they are at both ends. We have no choice but to fight to the death. Road. If we are prepared to attack the opponent but not prepared, this is the fifth victory."

"As for the sixth victory," Yan Shi pondered for a while, looking at the expectant eyes of everyone, and then slowly said: "Luohou was ordered by King Qi. Yan heard that because King Hejian The one who supported Zhao Wang Huang Fulun at the first time, although later anyway, he was always afraid of this in his heart, afraid that King Qi and others would turn over his old account. It is said that King Qi and King CD have already begun to discuss the plan to let King Langya replace He King Jian sits in Chang'an and supervises the military affairs of the three prefectures of Yongliang and Qinzhou. King Hejian should be in such a predicament, even if I occupy Yizhou and even Liangzhou by then, he will not send all his troops to conquer us. His main energy will be On the Luo side. This is the sixth victory we can rely on."

After hearing Yan Shi's six victories and six losses, everyone in the tent burst into smiles.

After Li Xiang laughed, he patted Yan Shi on the shoulder and said with emotion: "Yan Lingzhen is the reincarnation of Zhang Zifang. The so-called strategizing and decisive victory thousands of miles away is what it means. How can I, Li Xiang, have such a great talent like Yan Ling What a blessing it is to help.”

"Your lord is wise and powerful. We, the refugees from Yongqin and Qinzhou, have been able to live in Shu for such a long time because of the lord. Without a lord, I don't know how many families of our refugees will have their wives and children separated, and they will be sold as slaves of the Shu people. He will be starved to death by the roadside, and will be bullied at will by the local tyrants in Shu." Yan Shi praised Li Xiang from the bottom of his heart: "The country is picturesque, and only the virtuous live there. The Junhou family is the descendant of the Ba royal family. In Shang Dynasty, he made meritorious service in the time of Gaozu. In Zhou Dynasty, when all the Ba people went south, he went north alone to join Zhou Wu. In Jin Dynasty, he devoted himself to Lueyang for two generations. For us refugees, even more It is like rebirth of parents. With the virtue of a prince, he is enough to be the master of Shu."

"But Dajin treats our refugees really well." Li Xiang said hesitantly: "We left our homes and left our homes. There was no order from the imperial court to open a warehouse for relief, and there was no order from the imperial court to allow Liangzhou and Yizhou to accept us. I am afraid that we have already melted. A pile of loess by the side of the road. Besides, Elder Luo Hou, he treated me sincerely. So, I, Li Xiangyu, can't bear to betray Da Jin and Luo Hou."

"You don't need to worry about this, Yan has a plan to solve your confusion." Yan Shi said with a smile while stroking his beard under his chin with his right hand.

"Speak quickly, Yan Ling."

"At the end of the Shang Dynasty, the world was in turmoil due to Wang Yu's reforms. Red eyebrows started in Yanzhou, and green forests started in Jingzhou. Dou Rong saw the world in chaos, and thought that Hexi was far away in the frontier, so he could avoid the war in the Central Plains, so he went to Hexi through the road. , the official worship of Zhangye is the capital of the country. After arriving in Hexi, Dou Rong gathered together the heroes of the five counties. In the end, the heroes of the five counties decided to push one person to lead the five counties. The subsequent development is well known. The five prefectures took refuge in Emperor Guangwu of the Later Shang Dynasty, and together with Guangwu they wiped out Kaihuo, who dominated Liangzhou, and the Dou family was full of wealth and honor from then on.

"The situation we and other refugees are facing now looks different from that of Dou Rong back then, but it is actually similar. Although the court is temporarily peaceful, from Yan's point of view, King Qi is simply sitting on the crater of a volcano, and will die at any time. In CD Wang Hejian Wang Zhiqiang, the Central Plains will face repeated battles in the future. Yizhou and Guanshan are separated. Although the struggle for hegemony is not enough, there is more than enough for self-protection. We can follow the story of Dou Rong in the past, recruit heroes from Shu, and promote the kings and princes together. Lord, to protect the land of Shu from the flames of war. In this way, the people of the land of Shu will feel at ease, and will be grateful for the virtue of the ruler."

In fact, in Yan Shi's heart, there were still some things he wanted to say.He thought to himself that in the last years of the Shang Dynasty, due to the war in the Central Plains, the residents of various counties also fled to other places where there was no war in order to escape the war.The same is true in the last years of the Shang Dynasty.At that time, the imperial court did not force the refugees to return to their hometowns, and the states and counties in various places did not force them to return.Why are you sending me back today?Even the dignitaries from the Zhou Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty, such as the Xun family, the Chen family, etc., weren't they all also refugees in those days?

"Yes, Daddy." The burly young man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes standing beside him heard Yan Shi's words and said, "According to what Yan Ling said, we are not rebelling, but to stabilize Shu for the imperial court. When the time comes, the Central Plains When the Holy Master comes out again, I will be like Dou Rong in the Guangwu story, so I will not lose my family's wealth. It is Luohou, just treat him kindly when the time comes."

"Yes, yes, we are following the story of Dou Rong and Liang Tong, and we are not against the court. The king is Dou Rong, and we and Yan Ling are Liang Tong and others." When Yan Shi said this, the leaders of the refugees seemed to be like Finding the reason for the army at once, they all responded immediately.At this time, the tension just now disappeared from everyone's face, and some people even looked forward to the scene where he would be full of wealth and honor like Liang Tong.

"Okay!" After pondering for a while, Li Xiang suddenly raised his head and said loudly: "Luo Hou has no virtue, and the land of Shu is in chaos. I, Li Xiang, have been elected by everyone, and I will temporarily occupy the position of co-lord. If there is another high-level talent in the future, I, Li Xiang Xiang swears that he will never be greedy for this position. He will give up the position of co-lord to a talented person just like everyone elected me today. If you violate this oath, you will be struck by lightning!

"Okay!" Everyone listened to Li Xiangli's oath, which made him feel more at ease.So everyone clapped their hands together in the camp and made an oath to promote Li Xiangxing as General of the North and Li Yangxing as General of the West.

Historical records: In October of the fourth year of Yongtai, the refugees from the six counties pushed Li Xiang as the main force and raised their troops against Mianzhu.Li Xiang first asked Yan Shi to bribe Yizhou Sima Chen Chen with a generous gift, and asked for a grace period with the generous gift.Chen Chen was confused by this plan, so he was defenseless.The refugees took advantage of the night to attack Chen Chen's army unexpectedly. Chen Chen was defeated and killed, and the refugees then attacked and plundered the counties.

What, the refugees put up a banner and said that according to Liang Tong, Dou Rong was the main story? "In Bodao Tinghou's mansion, Zhou Xing Daomao was sitting on the sofa with a golden knife, and after hearing Du Chou's news, he was stunned.

Nima, a rebellion is a rebellion, this is better said than sung, it really opened my eyes.

"Liang Tong was worshiped as the prefect of Jiuquan by the Gengshi court at the beginning, while Dou Rongcai was appointed as the governor of Zhangye. In terms of official position, Dou Rong is not comparable to the prefect of a county. In terms of reputation, Liang Tong is also very prestigious. Originally, everyone just started The elected co-lord was Liang Tong instead of Dou Rong, but Liang Tong resolutely backed down, saying that his talent and character were not suitable for being the lord of the five counties, and he gave up the position to Dou Rong." The history is very familiar, so I will explain it to Zhou Xing in detail.

"Joint election? Cut!" In Zhou Xing's impression, at least in the ancient history of the world he had seen, except for modern times, he had always spoken with big fists, so he naturally didn't believe this nonsense.

What recommendation?
What abdication?
It's all fucking nonsense.Isn't the knife the brightest and the fist the biggest talker?
Under Du Chou's explanation, he understands that the position of captain of a subordinate country is equivalent to the military attache sent by the colonial countries in the modern world in his world.

Commander, what are you, Commander Liang?
Besides, when no one could see the situation clearly, this so-called co-owner of the five counties in Hexi was somewhat responsible.Dou Rong succeeded later, if he was like Kai Xiao, he would be dead and famous.

"So, that Liang Tong can be regarded as high-spirited?" Although he thought so in his heart, he said so in his mouth.

"That's right, Liang Tong was also a famous minister when he joined the merchants later on. The Liang family was rich and honored in the later merchants." When Du Chou said this, he couldn't help but yearn for it.

"But according to what you said, Mr. Du, the Gengshi court was wiped out by Chimei back then, and Dou Rong, Liang Tong and others did this. Now that the Shangluo Dajin court is still functioning freely, do these refugees dare to do this?"

"There are some masters among the refugees." Du Chou shook his head slightly, and said, "Although the Great Jin court seems to be calm now, there are turbulent waves in the dark. The refugees play this banner. First, pass it on to the court and even other states. The message is that we don't want to rebel, but just want to live in Shu. With the current situation of the court, it is certain that they will not come up with the best response immediately. This is the time difference that the refugees want to obtain. As long as The imperial court failed to send troops into Shu at the first time, and the refugees can completely take Jiange Pass. With Jiange's natural danger, no matter how many foreign troops there are, they will not be afraid."

"But so many Shu people live on dry food? Chen Chen's defeat can also be said to be the result of a surprise attack. How could Xin Ran and others lose so simply?" Zhou Xing and Du Chou had already received news that the refugees were in After defeating Chen Chen, he marched into Guanghan and defeated the army assembled by Guanghan prefect Xin Ran. The Guanghan county had almost completely fallen into the hands of refugees.

"This involves the reform of the military system during the Taikang period." Du Chou sighed inexplicably, thinking that his master was really ignorant, "After Emperor Wu pacified Wu to rule the world, he thought that the Great Jin After adopting a wide range of enfeoffments, they will be in good health forever, so they ordered the removal of the county soldiers. Before that, each county had its own arsenal, and would maintain a certain amount of military strength throughout the year. Not only that, but every year during the slack season, the county guards would let Bing Cao Yu led the adult men in the county to conduct military training. The sage said: "If you don't teach the people to fight, you are abandoning the people. This order of Emperor Wu was opposed by many people, but Emperor Wu still insisted on going his own way. After six years of Taikang, There is only the state army, there is no county army, and there will be no military training in the county. In Du's opinion, if there was no Emperor Wu's reform, how could Qi Wannian have made such a big splash in Yongqin and Qinzhou? The same is true for our refugees now. Yizhou has been newly rebelled by Zhao Min, and the state army has not recovered. And the monks and civilians in the counties and counties have not undergone systematic military training for many years. So, in a hurry, it is natural that the First World War It will collapse."

After hearing Du Chou's explanation, Zhou Xing became silent again.

As a person from that world, he understood the actions of Emperor Wu of Jin very well.In the long history of his world, the self-military power that confiscated counties, counties, states, and later provincial roads was politically correct.

As Du Chou said, when a locality has its own army, it can naturally maintain its own order and stability.But isn't this the vassalization that was criticized by many people in his world history?
But before he had time to think about it, he heard Du Chou say again: "Your Majesty has been defeated in successive battles, and he ordered all men in the prefecture to be recruited for military service. At least one man must be born from each household. What do you think, my lord?"

Hearing this sentence, Zhou Xing frowned even more.

In his own mind, the first reaction is naturally everyone is responsible for the country's troubles.
