Saint Immortal Way

The news that the five major sects of Nanwushan surrendered to the Da Kuang Dynasty shook the entire Mesopotamia. Some small sects knew that the situation was over, and immediately surrendered.

The royal army swept all the way, almost like the autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, breaking through the Dashi Gorge, passing through the cities of Wuling, descending to Xiangshui City, and finally approaching Tianshui City.

Tianshui City is the southernmost harbor city in the Mesopotamia Basin. It faces the Great South China Sea in the south. It has been rebuilt for more than 500 years after several wars.

The army of Kyushu is invincible. Everyone in Tianshui City, from the city lord to the slaves, knows that the ruler of Tianshui City is Chang Hongjing, a Zhongxing city lord with imperial ambitions.

In the big tent outside the city, two saints, An Yushi and Yang Huaxi, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, several princes, five generals of the Southern Expedition, and a group of worship staff gathered in front of the huge sand table to discuss countermeasures.

In the entire sand table, most of the areas have been "planted" with the banner of the Great Kuang Dynasty. Now only Tianshui City and some remote wild mountainous areas around Lianghe have not been conquered.

"Seniors and generals, what we discussed today is how to take Tianshui City. As long as Tianshui City is underway, the Southern Expedition strategy originally planned by the dynasty will be completed. If you have any good strategies, you can offer them up. Once you adopt them, this palace will mark him down. Great work!" His Royal Highness said.

As soon as the words fell, an imposing general stood up and shouted: "Your Highness, there is nothing to discuss here. Our five-way army is coming to Tianshui City, and we will directly beat the drums and trumpets to attack the city. What is the cost?" Strength? When the time comes, the army will enter the city, chop off the city lord, hang it on the top of the city, and declare that I am majestic!"

Another great general also stood up, bowed and said: "That's the reason, this is the last big battle, we are afraid that the Lord of Water City will not dare to fight that day!"

Everyone laughed when they heard it. This is indeed true. Now the Da Kuang Army is in full swing, and the troops from all walks of life are sharpening their swords. They are looking forward to a battle of blood and fire, so that they can make a great contribution!

"Let's go to the army to fight against the enemy's soldiers without fighting!" An Yushi walked out, and said with a cold snort: "I know how to fight. Have you ever thought that once the war breaks out, there will be many people in the land of Kyushu?" Families have lost their elder brothers, how many parents have lost their sons, how many women have lost their husbands and sons-in-law, and how many pensions will the dynasty distribute?"

As soon as the overtime saint said, the generals immediately shut up, with a bit of embarrassment on their faces.Although they know this, they still don't take it seriously. In battle, there is no one who is immortal. The key is that the knife head "licks" blood, and it is always accompanied by great credit. , For those who contribute, it is always worth it!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince coughed and said: "What the timeless sage said is that since the Southern Expedition, our Great Kuang Dynasty has mobilized the army of Kyushu, and there have been too many troops to conquer Yanzhou and Xialianghe. People died on the battlefield, whether it is the barbarian people or my Kyushu son, it is too much to lose! Anyway, the two rivers are about to be leveled, and all the barbarians in the two rivers will soon become the people of my great Kuang. , I really can't bear to die again, if I can defeat others without fighting, that would be great!"

Everyone was silent, none of the generals were unwilling, but they didn't dare to say anything, as for the staff, they secretly admired in their hearts, such a strategy is the work of a benevolent man.

The crown prince looked at Princess Shouyang and Lu Yang, and asked, "Shouyang, Marquis of Nanhai, you two conquered Yanzhou and made outstanding achievements. I wonder if you can teach me anything?"

Princess Shouyang shook her head and said with a smile: "The prince's elder brother is too modest, and it is a matter of course to win Tianshui City. The prince has many capable people, so let's talk about the strategy. I will wait for the prince to follow suit!"

The princes also nodded in agreement.

His Royal Highness chatted with his staff for a while, took a booklet, unfolded it and said, "Alright, since none of you here have any big suggestions, let's talk about the strategy of Tianshui in this hall first!"

"First, besiege and not attack. Second, the letter of surrender entered the city, disturbing the hearts of Tianshui City. Third, secretly sent people to infiltrate the city, recruiting one faction to fight the other, trying to make Tianshui City internal strife. Fourth, welcome to negotiate. Fifth, the army feigned an attack, forcing them to open the city and surrender, and strive to take Tianshui City without bloodshed!"

Everyone nodded after listening. This method is still feasible. As for the specifics, it has yet to be tested.

In the big tent, the discussions gradually decreased, and the sage Huangji stated: "This palace supports the prince's strategy. It is always good for the sons of the dynasty to shed less blood!"

"I agree too!" The time-out saint also nodded in agreement.The two saints agreed, and the princes, staff, and generals below did not dare to have any opinions.

Once the strategy is established, it will be implemented.Sure enough, several armies dispersed, surrounded Tianshui City, and even cut off the Xiutian River flowing through Tianshui City, cutting off water and food.

As soon as the night came, there were loud arrows shooting into the city, wrapped with letters of persuasion, some persuaded the Lord of Tianshui City to open the city gate and surrender, some offered a reward for the head of the Lord of Tianshui City, and some welcomed the negotiation, and so on. [

The prince even sent secret agents into the city to engage in such things as wooing, alienation, promises, persuading surrender, military remonstrance, etc. Among them, the hands emerged in endlessly.

After autumn, Ancheng General Zuo Mingui, who was in charge of patrolling the city in Tianshui City, suddenly launched a mutiny. More than three hundred people were shackled and knelt in the mansion.

The generals of the various districts in Tianshui City chose to remain silent!

Zuo Mingui personally led five hundred soldiers to open the gate of the city, held the head of Chang Hongjing, the lord of the city, and surrendered.

At this point, Tianshui City, which had been besieged by the army for two months, was broken, and it was truly realized to win without a fight!

The good news spread to Shendu, Emperor Wen Tianyan was very happy, and immediately issued an order that Kyushu celebrated three days and rewarded the three armies.Emperor Wen took the princes and grandsons who were in Beijing, and went to the Taidao Saint Temple to worship their ancestors.

The good news spread throughout Kyushu, and Kyushu was jubilant. Besides Kyushu, Yanzhou, the tenth state, also celebrated for three days, and the imperial court celebrated together.

Half a month later, Emperor Wen came to Tianshui City and sacrificed to the sky under the newly built Hezhou Dingding Stele on the high ground outside Tianshui City.

Emperor Wen made a special decree to formally merge the vast area of ​​the Mesopotamia, from the south of Zezhou and Huangzhou to the banks of the South China Sea, into the territory of the Dakuang Dynasty, forming the No.11 state: Hezhou.Tianshui City was changed to Tianshui Mansion, which announced to the world and the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth.

The sky was gray, and after the light rain, the first snow of winter came.Tianshui Mansion was shrouded in snow.

On the outskirts of Wuli Qinglonggou, in a newly built courtyard on a hillside, Lu Yang sat leisurely in the octagonal pavilion, Huang Daoyun leisurely brewed tea, and said with a smile, "Tianshui Mansion has been settled, when shall we return to Moling Mansion?"

Lu Yang shook his head: "Don't worry, the entire Mesopotamia is waiting to be done. There are too many things for me to do. I need to take some more time. When things are settled, I still have to go to the capital of God. Come on, this is the best place to go to Barren State!"

Huang Daoyun sighed softly: "Junior brother is busy, why don't you have any free time? Look at those scholarly families, rich and wealthy merchants, who doesn't drive others to do things, but enjoys himself, how can he be like you, who does everything by himself !"

Lu Yang laughed: "Where am I doing everything by myself? If I really do everything by myself, I won't be exhausted? The affairs of the Lu family in Moling Mansion, the people's livelihood of Yanzhou, the political affairs of Millennium City, and the civil affairs of Shengshui City, which one do you not want me to give instructions? This one It’s impossible for me to let go of everything about Datan, and now that the Nanshan Sect is first established, I have to mobilize resources from all directions to build academies in various places before the Confucian masters from all over Kyushu come to Hezhou, and open them one step ahead of time. Tongtong, bringing a large number of talents from Lianghe into the academy, and strengthening the Nanshan Sect, whether we can succeed or not depends on how fast we act!"

"Why bother to work so hard? We already have Yanzhou and Nanhai very well, why bother to intervene in Hezhou?" Huang Daoyun frowned.

Although this Hezhou is fertile and prosperous, but because of this, it is very valued by the imperial court. At that time, various forces in Kyushu will intervene in Hezhou. It will be very intense, if one is careless, it is nothing to lose some property and people, just fear of damaging reputation.

The prestige that Lu Yang has managed to build up now stands out among the new generation of young people in Kyushu. His greatest achievement is assisting Princess Shouyang in Ding Yanzhou.

Now that the two rivers have been leveled, the river state has been opened, and Lu Yang has also made a great contribution, these are even more enviable.

Lu Yang also knew that he was too dazzling, so he kept a low profile when assisting in the pacification of Lianghe, and never showed off in front of others. Others took the lead in all matters of attacking cities and territories. Princess Shouyang and his own army were just cooperating with each other.

Even so, I am enough to make people jealous and envious, which is not a good thing.

Regarding this, Lu Yang was also a little helpless, and said: "There is no way, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong, and the things I have to grasp are getting bigger and bigger. Just talking about these two rivers, the Nanshan Sect's affairs must not be compromised, and It must be done urgently. In the spring of the coming year at the latest, there will inevitably be many great Confucian scholars from various academies in Kyushu coming to preach and teach. If the hundreds of millions of people in these two rivers are all basking in the brilliance of the Holy Way, how much achievement is this? Think about it, any Confucianist will be full of ambition and want to make great achievements!"

"I can't say no to you... But, we have taken the lead in everything and won the jobs of those Confucianists. Will we be too taboo?" Huang Daoyun worried.

Lu Yang waved his hand: "You don't know much about this matter. I have already dragged Saint Huangji, Saint Overtime, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and Princess Shouyang onto a boat. This is the first batch of Ten Academies planned to be built in Hezhou. The Nanshan Sect must definitely participate in it, as well as my Bodhi Academy and the Millennium City. In addition to the top ten academies, I also plan to use our private power to build a branch of the Bodhi Academy, a Wudou Academy purely from the Nanshan Sect. , and my Lu Family’s Lu Clan Court, etc. The first batch of academies built in this way are full of falsehoods and realities, and their interests are intertwined. When the court and Baisheng Taimiao send people down, they will not be easily shaken!”

Huang Daoyun picked up a copy of "The Righteous Way of the Five Emperors" and a copy of "The Edict of the Five Fighters of Nanshan" on the stone platform, quickly read it with his spiritual sense, nodded and said: "Sure enough, everything is covered, well, I don't know much about these things. I understand, but my father is more interested, he sent a letter yesterday saying that a hundred great Confucian scholars will be invited to Lianghe in the beginning of spring, and they are going to teach and educate people, and start a school to teach!"

"Haha, I still don't see the teacher's ambition! Hundreds of great scholars, the teacher is indeed very courageous, but you can reply and say that I said it. If the teacher is interested, don't wait until the beginning of spring. Set off for the south immediately. If you delay When spring comes again, nothing will happen to him!" Lu Yang said hastily.

"Alright!" Huang Daoyun thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.

Lu Yang was in a good mood, so he asked his entourage to serve him with pen and ink. He repaired some books and sent them to Luqiu County, Yanyu City, Qujiao Mountain Gate, Millennium City, Shengshui City, etc.
