Chapter 1537: The Verses of Vicissitudes Are Easy to Write

There are some regrets in life that no one can erase.

No matter how magnificent you are, you can be unparalleled in the world, and you can control the highest authority in the world.

It's also useless.

For example, Emperor Qi also had the sorrow of loving his concubine and the regret of not abandoning Jiang.

How could Jiang Wang forget the streets and alleys of Maplewood City, his neighbors and classmates?

How could he want to miss Jiang Anan's growth?

Just because I "didn't want to", it eventually happened, so it became a regret.

Jiang Wang had a bowl with him, and he drank so much that his energy surged and he was stirred by heat.

After drinking, the whole world was filled with wind and thunder, and the pride in my chest rose.

"In that case, this wine might as well bring righteousness to the world!" He was feeling drunk, a little bit careless.

Gu Shiyi was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "The right way in the world!"

He picked up the wine jar and poured wine again, and said to Jiang Wang: "Come on, let's have another bowl of this righteous way in the world!"

The smell of wine comes back again and again, entwining layers and layers of fragrance.

The alcohol worm in the abdomen has awakened, and the greedy person is scratching his heart and lungs.

Every part of the body seems to be waiting for the water of wine.

But Jiang Wang reached out to hold his wine bowl, shook his head and said, "I can't drink anymore."

Gu Shiyi put down the wine jar and looked at him: "Is the wine bad?"

"The wine is so good! I wasn't addicted to alcohol, but now I have the alcohol bug scratching me and I'm so greedy!"

"Is this a bad person from a certain family?"

"Brother Gu has unparalleled cultivation and is famous all over the world. He is also so informal and approachable. How can it be bad?"

"Then why did you refuse this bowl of wine?" Gu Shiyi asked.

"Enough is enough." Jiang Wang met Gu Shiyi's scrutinizing eyes and said seriously: "The more addictive something is to me, the more I have to restrain myself and the more I have to keep a distance."

"I just told you that you are happy, but you are so unhappy!" Gu Shiyi said: "You can't indulge yourself when you are young. Do you have to wait until you are old to cherish your memory?"

Jiang Wang just said: "I have to walk a long way, so I won't stay on the road for too long."

His eyes were filled with wine, his face was flushed with wine, and his voice was somewhat erratic, but his expression was calm.

This is who he is at all times.

Gu Shiyi looked at him silently for a while.

Jiang Wang also sat there quietly. Like an ordinary drunkard who is about to collapse at any moment. But being self-sufficient is anything but ordinary.

"You convinced a certain family." Gu Shiyi pushed the wine bowl: "Then I won't drink it!"

The wine swayed out of the wine bowl and sprinkled on the table, like broken jade. There is a heartbreaking regret.

Jiang Wang said apologetically: "I hope one day I can stop and have a drink with Brother Gu."

Gu Shiyi paused for a while and said, "Do you know who was drinking with a certain family here before?"

Jiang Wang shook his head.

"Are you curious?" Gu Shiyi asked.

Jiang Wang asked, "Should I be curious?"

"You are very cunning!" Gu Shiyi said.

Jiang Wangdao: "I'm just doing my duty."

Gu Shiyi laughed again.

He is really a drunk person, just like those drunkards in the market, his mood changes very quickly.

He sighed: "That's a person who used to drink and have fun with me."

"It seems that won't happen now." Jiang Wang said.

"People always change!" Gu Shiyi said.

After a pause, he added: "Or maybe, as you said, a person who has a long way to go should not stay in one place for too long!"

Jiang Wangdao: "Brother Gu himself must know better about Brother Gu's friends."

"That person is not my friend!" Gu Shiyi said.

But he added: "Maybe."

He was very conflicted in his heart and his emotions were conflicting.

The real person in this world is the one who controls the Tao and has insight into the true existence of the world. It is said that even if the end of the world comes, his will will not be easily shaken, but he seems so different.

So complicated.

Maybe this is also a kind of "truth".

This man has so many stories. Jiang Wang thought to himself.

But he just said: "A person who keeps moving forward will always leave something behind. It may be intentional or unintentional at the time. But in hindsight, it should be considered intentional."

"Are you sad about this?" Gu Shiyi's eyelids drooped slightly.

"It is inevitable that there will be regrets." Jiang Wang said, "But I still have to move forward."

"No one will stop and wait for you. Everyone has their own story to tell." Gu Shiyi said.

"This is a pity." Jiang Wang said, "Sometimes you have no choice."

"You are so young, how can you have so many emotions!" Gu Shiyi's voice became arrogant: "You are very tacky now!"

Jiang Wangdao: "These are all stories I read in books. Maybe I was drunk and talking nonsense. Brother Gu, don't blame me."

"The speaker is not guilty, but the drinker is justified!" Gu Shiyi took a breath of alcohol, and probably didn't want to continue this topic, so he changed the question: "Brother Jiang, what do you think of the word 'righteousness'?"

"There are great and small righteousnesses. There is the righteousness of holding a sword to make friends, there is the righteousness of repaying kindness and hatred, there is the righteousness of punishing evil and promoting good, there is the righteousness of family and country, there is the righteousness of ethnic group, there is the righteousness of the world." Jiang Wang said: "This sage I can’t comment on that.”

Gu Shiyi tapped him with his hand, as if to say that he was cunning, but in the end he did not say so. Instead, he looked at him with drunken eyes: "What is your righteousness? Is Jiang Qingyang a righteous man?"

Jiang Wang shook his head: "I am not a righteous man. There was justice before me, but I could not uphold it. There was anger in my heart, and I could not draw my sword. There was a conflict of interests, and I used my sword to kill people."

He repeated: "I am not a righteous man."

Gu Shiyi said sincerely: "Sometimes you need to restrain yourself, and sometimes you can only choose a less bad choice among bad choices, because you have a more important life, and God has given you a unique mission."

Jiang Wangdao: "I don't think I am such a special person. My shortcomings and advantages all make me who I am."

He thought, my life depends on my own choice, and my mission is not given by any existence.

But Gu Shiyi just waved his hand: "If you don't drink anymore, there's no point in staying here. Let's go!"

Jiang Wang didn't say much, he just said take care.

He stood up and walked away on the clouds with a hint of drunkenness.

The comings and goings were nothing more than a few bowls of wine.

This body is drifting like a cloud.

There are few human traces in the barren mountains.

I don’t know who built this pavilion on the top of the mountain.

In fact, it has fallen into disgrace. The red paint peels off and the wind reveals the rotten wood.

Gu Shiyi sat alone, looking at the leftovers, as if facing his regretful life, so he opened another jar of wine.

Vicissitudes of wine, vicissitudes of wine.

Assigned to the vicissitudes of life, it will be easy to work.

"A young man who cannot fully enjoy himself or fulfill his purpose is indeed not a righteous man."

He sighed: "But he is a sincere person and a trustworthy person."

…

…

Zhao State was famous for its submissiveness to Qi State.

Both the government and the public in this country admire Qi Feng very much. The first-class talents of Zhao State are all proud of serving Qi State. Those who cannot go to Qi will stay in Zhao.

In fact, the entire Eastern Region is like this, not just Zhao Kingdom?

It is precisely because Qi State recruits talents from all over the world that Qi State is prosperous today.

It’s just that Zhao Guo was a bit more obvious...

People in other places have to say something like "a good bird chooses a tree to roost in" and "there is a place where you can stay if you don't want to stay here".

The people of Zhao State directly and openly regarded being an official in Qi as their ideal and becoming a Qi person as their goal in life.

This is by no means a shabby thing in Zhao State.

Even the leader of Zhao State himself wrote many times and persistently requested to be incorporated into the territory of Qi State.

In the letter of credence delivered to Qi State, the leader of Zhao State called himself Zhaohou and did not dare to call himself king. He expressed his willingness to give up his dragon robe and become a hereditary marquis of the Qi Empire. He was willing to cultivate hundreds of acres of land for the Emperor of Qi and make Emperor Qi eats his own vegetables... he burst into tears when he wrote the book...

Emperor Qi refused on the grounds that the old Yang ancestral temple should not be abandoned.

Some time ago, the Ping Dynasty revealed that one of their three top leaders was called "King Zhao".

The leader of Zhao State was so frightened that he wrote to Emperor Qi all night long, confessing his innocence. Ask Qi Ting to send someone to Zhao State to investigate and verify his innocence. He also urgently summoned the ministers to discuss changing the country's name immediately to avoid unreasonable disaster.

In the end, Emperor Qi wrote a special letter to comfort him, saying that "Zhao" is a name of honor, and the old Yang Zhengshuo should not be abandoned lightly. Also, how can dragons and tigers change their paths for snakes and rats?

Only in this way did the storm calm down.

Jiang Wang had lived as a hermit in this country. Just because he spoke with a Linzi accent, he received very warm hospitality from the store.

Now when crossing the border, there will be no accidents.

Except for the drunkenness and the vagueness of the clouds, there is nothing to say.

All the way high in the sky, there was the occasional sound of thunder.

Some ordinary people accidentally saw it and thought of it as an immortal.

…

…

After passing Yangdi without entering Qingyang Town, Jiang Wang went directly to Qidu.

When the three hundred miles of Linzi City appeared in sight, he suddenly felt a sense of dependence.

His title, his name, his official position and his connections are all closely related to this great city.

It was certainly a choice that I did not regret when I left my important position as Captain of Bei Yamen.

His experience in the Chu Kingdom in the mountains and seas was also exciting enough. He did not lead anything, but he witnessed a wonderful chapter.

This time he returned after traveling around the world. When he saw Linzi City, he truly realized that he had struggled here for too long and experienced too much. He has established a too deep bond with this city.

Living in Linzi is not easy.

And he, Jiang Qingyang, seemed to be from here.

…

…

The Military Hall sent a letter to invite Xia to be conquered, and the emperor approved it.

The entire Qi State has been mobilized, with Daoyuan stones, grain and grass, intelligence, and negotiations with the countries along the way... all kinds of things.

But once the determination to fight falls, it is difficult for the flood to change its course.

Overnight, swords and guns came out of the warehouse, and there was a forest of fighting.

But before leaving for summer, there is still one most important question——

Who should be the commander-in-chief of the three armies in this battle against Xia?

Qi's hegemony was new, and it was the last country among the six hegemonic countries to achieve hegemony.

Many famous generals in the world who have proven themselves in previous wars are still in the military. There are not a few people who are qualified to lead a large army.

However, the Xia Kingdom has its own special significance after all, and its power should not be ignored.

The struggle between Qi and Xia for hegemony in those days was the personal conquest of the emperor of Qi today. What about Chongxuan Yunbo, Chongxuan Chuliang, Chongxuan Mingshan, Chongxuan Minghe... What about Yan Ping, what about Jiang Mengxiong, what about Yan Tu, what about Yang Jiande, what about Tian Xili ...all in the formation.

Gathering generals and talents, ants gathered talents to build up the army of the whole country, and crippled the Xia Kingdom, which spanned the two southeastern regions at that time.

And since the 38th year of Yuanfeng's battle to quell the Loulan Gong rebellion in Ming Dynasty, Emperor Qi has never worn armor in person.

Of course, the current Xia Kingdom is no longer worthy of the Emperor Qi's personal campaign.

Ordinarily, since the Emperor of Qi is not out, the coach of Faxia should not think of anyone other than Jiang Mengxiong, the God of the Qi Army.

The Grand Marshal of Zhenguo did indeed write a letter asking for war.

Needless to say, Jiang Mengxiong's honor and ability are unparalleled. He has invincible and extraordinary power, and he uses troops like a god. He is the well-deserved number one in the army.

But at the same time, there were three people who asked for a fight.

These three people all have extraordinary weight.

One is Cao Jie, the commander of the Spring Death Army, the other is Chu Liang, the new real person and fierce butcher Zhongxuan, and the other is Xiu Yuan, the commander of the Prisoner of Lightning Army.

These three people are also talented enough to command an army of millions. They are in charge of the most elite nine-soldier force in the Qi Empire. Their ability in using troops is unquestionable.

Cultivation is not a problem. If they were to take charge of the army, Qi Ting would naturally send another Yan Dao strongman to suppress the army.

Therefore, there is actually still a fight over the candidate for the coach of Faxia.

Among them, Cao Jiu was the most stable in using troops, and he was called "the best fighter in the world" by Emperor Qi. No matter how many troops are given to him, there is basically no possibility of problems, and of course it is difficult to see a quick victory.

There are always voices that think he only fights stupidly and stupidly.

However, under the guise of Wanyan Xionglue's identity, he killed Qi Hong, a famous general of the Sheng Kingdom, and helped the Mu Kingdom capture Liyuan City, which also showed his changeable military style.

He is truly an all-around handsome man who can compete with the God of War just by using his troops.

Chu Liang, the fierce massacrer who had conquered Xia for the first time that year, was very familiar with the situation in Xia. This factor was very crucial in the competition for the coach of Xia.

And although he is not as almighty as Cao Jun, nor is he "the best in the world in military use" than Jiang Mengxiong, his military sharpness is unique and difficult to match in the world.

In this kind of war to destroy the country, the situation can be overcome as quickly as possible. For example, the battle to destroy Yang that made him a marquis was almost devastating. In the shortest possible time, the resistance of the Yang Kingdom was defeated, and Yang Jiande, the last emperor of the Yang Kingdom, was not given a chance to kill him in the midst of thousands of troops.

He was promoted to Dongzhen with the strength of the number one god in the Eastern Region. In the first battle to prove Dongzhen, he pointed his sword at the first elder of Diaohai Tower, Chongguang Zhenren.

Regardless of momentum, intention, or strength, they are all at their peak in life. Use him at this time, and the military will be at its peak.

And Xiuyuan...

His close friend Yan Tu, the commander of the Zhan Yu Army, was confirmed to be a spy for the Ping Dynasty last year and died after being hacked to pieces. He himself spent time in prison.

Now a war is needed to prove oneself.

Of course, everyone knew that he was just showing his attitude and came to run with him. It is impossible for him to prove himself in such a big event as the expedition to summer.

Although Xiu Yuan was also a world-famous general who emerged from a mountain of blood and blood, he wanted to prove his mentality, so he first excluded him from the list of coaches.

Today, the Emperor of Qi is a man of military knowledge, so he only asked these four people to submit a military strategy each, and made it clear that only military strategy will be used to determine the commander-in-chief——

For a time, there was a turmoil. From the officials in the court to the traders and soldiers, they were debating on the candidate to be the leader of the Xia expedition.

One said that the God of War was invincible, and the other said that Commander Cao was undefeated. Some people say that the fierce massacre became famous because of breaking the Xia Dynasty, and it was the right time to end the Xia Kingdom with the violent massacre. Some people also say that Xiu Yuan fought throughout his life and used the weak to attack the strong many times. He is a true master of military art and should have such an occasion to display it.

But no one said that this battle could not be fought or that the expedition against Xia could not be won.

So the Prime Minister Jiang Rumo said -

“The human heart is available.”

Ps: "The country is unlucky and the poet is lucky, and he will work hard when he is faced with the vicissitudes of life." This is a sentence written by Zhao Yi in the Qing Dynasty. He also has a more famous poem, "There are talented people from generation to generation, and each leads the way for hundreds of years."
