Chapter 1110 The War Begins

Zhuang Hong nodded slightly: "It's good if you can remember it. However, you must be able to understand it after you remember it. Do you understand the purpose of your teacher's parting words now?"

Xia Lingpei knelt down and remained silent, saying, "I seem to understand a little bit."

"Alas!" Zhuang Hong sighed, "When we were leaving, Niu Youdao told me that he actually didn't teach you anything. He apologized to me and hoped that I wouldn't blame him for misleading his disciples. He said that a person who can read a collection of poems People who memorize everything can't be stupid, and they will grow up one day. He said that he has nothing to teach you, but for the sake of you calling him 'teacher', I have some advice for you, mother and son. After that That’s why I gave you that gift.”

"At that time, let alone you, even I didn't quite understand the meaning of his gift to you. Later, it was like a dream. You became the emperor and I became the empress dowager. I watched the Qin State be established, and then in the After staying in this palace for a long time, I have gained a lot of freedom and come into contact with more people and things, so I gradually understood the profound meaning of your teacher's words."

"You don't seem to understand a little bit, but you know it well. Who is the sarcasm on your face meant for? You understand, but you are a little unwilling to do so."

"You asked a few days ago why the palace maid with whom you had a good relationship disappeared. I didn't know why she disappeared at first, but later I heard someone vaguely reveal that the palace maid said something to you that you shouldn't have said, and she was killed. Since entering the palace, many people around my mother have disappeared one after another."

"Pei'er, you have to remember that you and my mother and son are just decorations. When we were running around, we were just decorations. Now that we are pushed to the stage, we are still just decorations. Don't think that those people have worked hard for many years to recover. The country is loyal to you, my mother and my son, even if I had that intention before, it was still the past."

"Don't think that just because you are the emperor of Qin, you can talk about it. They have worked so hard to build the country. Do you expect them to hand over their power to you? Do you expect them to be at your mercy? Everyone up and down is theirs. , how many people around you, my mother and my son are staring at us?"

"They want you to be a competent emperor, but they only want you to be an emperor that meets their needs. They never want you to be an emperor who can influence their interests."

"Young people are inevitably bloody. You are my son. I know you very well. I feel your growing energy. I am very worried that you will do something impulsive. Pei'er, I am also suffering. I don’t know when this kind of life will end, and I don’t know what we, mother and son, will do in the future.”

"Later I heard about some of your teacher's actions in the outside world, and thought of your teacher's solemn advice, Fang Fan suddenly realized. Your teacher can turn the world upside down, it is really extraordinary. The current situation of you, mother and son has been expected by your teacher. Among them. Your teacher's advice is golden and good. Your teacher knows our future situation and has pointed out the way out for us, mother and son."

"If our mother and son want to do something, their interests will inevitably be affected. They will be dissatisfied and may not support us in the future. On the contrary, if we, mother and son, do nothing, they will continue to support us even if they are disappointed. The more you do nothing, the more loyal they will be to you and the more they will give to us. They will give you money if you ask for it. They will give you whatever you want for food, drink and fun. Even if you indulge in women, they will give it to you, and they will complain at most. "

"Pei'er, let go of your young blood and your dissatisfaction. As your teacher said, continue to understand nothing, know nothing, just eat, drink and have fun, and don't care about anything else. Mom hopes you live well, I hope to see you have children.”

Xia Lingpei, who was silent, suddenly said, "Mom, do you want my children to live like pigs?"

Zhuang Hong shook his head: "Do you think mother is willing to live like this? It's embarrassing to say that mother even hopes to have a man to comfort her with love and affection, but it doesn't work. Mother is the empress dowager of the Qin State, and no one will allow her to remarry or find another man. My mother is destined to remain a widow for the rest of her life. Pei'er, in these troubled times, how many people have died of starvation on the roadside in the outside world? Isn't it good to live a good life with good food and clothing? "

"If you are unwilling, just think about what your teacher said. Our mother and son have been under house arrest and control by them for so many years. Your teacher is the only outsider we have had formal contact with since we left their side. Your teacher is also the only one who has the ability to remove us from them so far. Can’t you just listen to the words of the person you are keeping away from you? You also said that your teacher is a capable person, so can’t you think about his words carefully and don’t you still understand the profound meaning of his words?”

Xia Lingpei: "My son understands that the meaning of the teacher is very simple. Our mother and son are under their complete control. We have no people of our own and no power of our own. Mother and son depend on each other for life. We are weak, powerless and incompetent. It is impossible to fight." Win them. You can live well by pretending to be stupid. Once you want to get rid of control, we, mother and son, are seeking death. We, mother and son, have no influence on the Qin State. An accidental death will not have any impact on the Qin State. They can establish another one at any time. As long as we are willing to be that fig leaf, they will not pull that fig leaf down.”

Zhuang Hong: "Since you understand, why don't you give in?"

Xia Lingpei leaned over and kowtowed, "The reluctance is just in my heart. My son knows that what the teacher said is right and he knows what to do. He will continue to be confused."

Zhuang Hong was immediately relieved, stretched out his hand to help, and said: "Just understand, get up, it's late, go to rest early, they will take you to court early in the morning."

After helping her son up, she also stood up and wanted to leave.

Just a few steps away, Xia Lingpei suddenly sighed, "I was ignorant before, but after reading everything, I realized that the teacher is indeed a person. He came out of the mountain with a breeze, but he was able to overcome obstacles and clear obstacles in all directions for the Shang Dynasty. Now he is also ranked in the Zijin Cave." Elder, he also has a large army, he is good at conquering and fighting, and he has a great influence on the Yan Kingdom."

"And the Qin State was able to establish the country, and the role of the teacher was indispensable. I can be the emperor, and it is thanks to the teacher. I can feel that whenever talking about the teacher, Yu Cang's eyes are very cautious, and Yu Cang seems to be a little Be afraid of the teacher."

"It's a pity that I never saw the teacher again after leaving Maolu Villa. To be honest, I was really confused at that time and missed the opportunity to ask the teacher for advice and study. Queen Mother, I really want to see the teacher again and have a good talk with him. I will definitely benefit a lot, but unfortunately I don’t know if the teacher can come out alive in the holy territory, and I don’t know if there will be a chance to meet again in the future.”

Zhuang Hong sighed: "Don't think too much and rest early."

…

In the 534th year of the Wuli calendar, Jin's frontline troops gathered and brazenly launched a war against the enemy.

Tai Shuxiong almost regarded this as the center for handling military and state affairs as it was an important place for military aircraft, and he stayed here almost day and night.

The war started, and the stakes in the first battle were very important. He was afraid of any accidents, so he was very nervous and anxious. He had been waiting for the battle report from the front line.

Taishu Feihua, the leader of Qiyun Sect, almost lived here and paid close attention to the war. He also stayed here to facilitate the dispatch of Jin monks and coordinate with the Jin army to fight. During this battle, he was calm on the outside but very nervous on the inside.

"Good news!" There was a call outside the door, and Tao Lue, the chief internal officer, immediately rushed over, received the battle report with his own hands, and quickly presented it with both hands when he came back.

Tai Shuxiong got the battle report and quickly opened it to check. After reading it, he shouted, "Okay! General Yin has lived up to the high expectations of the lonely king!"

Although this attack was prepared in advance, it could be launched in a hurry. It would take a lot of time for the army to be fully assembled. This attack was the first batch of vanguard troops assembled by the Jin State. They did not wait for the Jin State army to be fully prepared before launching it alone. The first attack.

For this first attack, General Yin Chu of the Jin State was urgently sent to the front line. A large number of masters from the Qiyun Sect rushed to escort Yin Chu to the front line to command the forward troops in combat.

There was no other way. In order to keep it secret beforehand, Yin Chu was only used when the matter came to pass.

According to the battle report, the first battle was successful. Yin Chu led his army with overwhelming force and broke through the Weiguo border defenses in one fell swoop, killing the Weiguo defenders to a rout.

This victory was easy. Yin Chu praised Taishu Xiong's heroism in the battle report. The preparations before the battle had a great impact on the Guards. The Guards were almost vulnerable to the Jin offensive. The army was defeated like a mountain, the guards were defeated, and the lonely monks of the country were left unable to recover. Faced with the sharp armored attack of the tiger and wolf division with the cooperation of the monks of the Jin country, they fled after losing a lot of casualties.

Yin Chu said in the battle report that he had led his lone army deep into Weiguo to implement Jin's special strategy. This trip could be said to have put the lone army to death. He hoped that the subsequent imperial army could arrive in time and invade Weiguo's territory to relieve their lone army. pressure.

After reading the battle report, Taishu Feihua also nodded and said: "Well done, this Yin Chu is good!"

Taishu Xiong nodded, winning the first battle, and finally let go of his hanging heart.

"Report!" Another report came from outside the door.

Tao Lue once again took the letter in person and delivered it to Tai Shuxiong in person, and reminded him, "It's a letter from Mr. Shao."

When Tai Shuxiong opened the letter, he saw that Shao Pingbo once again emphasized in the letter that Xuanwei must try his best to stabilize people's hearts when the Wei Kingdom was in chaos, so Yin Chu's army must have a strong deterrent effect in the first battle. This would have a great impact on the imperial court's previous efforts. The preparations within Weiguo have produced positive results.

The reason is simple. Some rebels within the Wei Kingdom will inevitably sway in the face of Xuan Wei's actions to stabilize people's hearts. Once Yin Chu's army's offensive is blocked, the attitude of those people is likely to be biased towards Xuan Wei. Once Yin Chu's army attacks sharply, and once the guards are vulnerable, the attitude of those people will be directed towards the Jin State in order to find a way out, which will produce a series of positive effects.

So the first battle is crucial.

Another thing is, once Yin Chu's army invades the territory of Weiguo, don't stay, march eastward quickly, be sure to capture and control the Xiping Pass at the junction of the Western Three Kingdoms and the Eastern Four Kingdoms, hold it at all costs, and never give the eastern countries a chance to advance. .

On the route of Yin Chu's army heading east, Shao Pingbo had specially put in a lot of effort to lay the groundwork. Whether it was to use Xuan Chengtian's help to clean up, or to instigate rebellion afterwards, that was the top priority of Shao Pingbo, just for convenience. Yin Chu's army can quickly advance eastward.
