The World Game Online - Chapter 295
[Chapter 295 A friend came from afar]
To the north of Shiwanda Mountain, at the junction of Lingnan and Guangxi provinces, there is a place called Wuzhou.
★ く
Half a year ago, a mysterious tribe suddenly appeared in Wuzhou, which was originally barren.
Under the leadership of the tribal leader, they overcame obstacles and wiped out bandits; they built cities and strongholds, farmed fields and planted mulberries.
The leader of the Walled City is a very remarkable figure who enjoys high prestige among the barbarians. After the establishment of the city, the barbarians nearby rushed to the city to meet this mysterious leader.
Hundreds of barbarian tribes who have lived in the Shiwanda Mountain for generations have found a new destination. After 66 consecutive years, all tribes began to migrate to Wuzhou City Walled without the slightest hesitation.
As time went by, all the fifty-five Shanman tribes in the northern area migrated to Wuzhou, even the largest tribe with ten thousand people was no exception.
Last month, the migration wave began to spread to the southern region.
With the influx of barbarians, the city wall was expanded again and again, and finally developed into a giant city, Dingding Wuzhou.
On the head of the city, the black phoenix flag fluttered in the wind, spreading its wings and flying.
*************
Winter is about to enter, the weeds are withered and yellow, the birds are extinct, and the wilderness presents a chilling scene.
Lianzhou Basin, located in the southern bay of Guangxi, has obvious characteristics of oceanic monsoon climate, but it has no chance of cold winter.
Entering December, the temperature is still maintained at more than 20 degrees Celsius.
The Lianzhou Basin seems to be peaceful, but in reality it is undercurrents.
According to the feedback from the Military Intelligence Department, the various ministries in the grassland have stopped the civil war, and there are signs of unity in the dark.
Under Bai Qi’s signal, in the name of training, the Second Division frequently appeared in the grasslands to deter the tribes and try to alienate the tribes.
The western part of the town of the Tianqi Tribe has been rebuilt. Together with the eastern part of the town and the Khan’s personal guards, the total strength has reached 12,000, which is evenly matched with the second division.
Each of the seven medium-sized tribes has a force of no less than 3,000 people. Together, they have more than 20,000 people.
When the battle was about to take place, the ministries of the grasslands could issue a temporary summoning order, and it would not be difficult to double the size of the army based on the tradition of all the nomadic tribes being soldiers.
If the various ministries of the grassland were to form a joint force, the Second Division alone would not be able to suppress it.
Duanren County in the east is
also not worry-free.
Limited to the title of Ba Dao, Duan Ren County cannot be promoted to a third-level county.
The strength of the Shanhai Territory makes it difficult for Ba Dao to sleep and eat; in order to keep the territory, he can only take risks, even eager for quick success.
While connecting the Yanhuang League in series, Ba Dao frantically builds up affiliated territories.
In addition to the three first-level subordinate territories, even the nine second-level subordinate territories have all been completed, and they are steadily moving towards the first-level county.
The most direct benefit is that the total population of the territory is increasing day by day, creating conditions for military expansion.
Coupled with the soldiers from the Shanman tribe and the funds provided by the gold mine, the military strength of Duanren County is growing day by day, and the size of the army has reached a division, which is comparable to the previous Shanhai County.
If Ba Dao is stepping on a tightrope, then Ouyang Shuo is playing with fire.
The development of Duanren County to the present situation is not unrelated to Ouyang Shuo’s deliberate indulgence.
After taking down Tianfeng County, it’s not that Ouyang Shuo had no chance to take down Duanren County, but he didn’t want to let his strategy of “raising Gu” be aborted, so he just gave up and let Duanren County continue.
If it is not restrained, it is possible to breed tigers.
What worried Ouyang Shuo the most was the mutation that occurred deep in the Shiwan Dashan.
A large number of mountain tribes migrated deep into the mountains.
Leng Qian, the leader of the military intelligence team responsible for the eastern intelligence of the military intelligence department, has personally led the team into the depths of the mountain to investigate, but there has been no response yet.
Ouyang Shuo had a premonition that deep in the mountain, an old enemy was staring at him.
************ At
the time when the Lianzhou Basin was turbulent, an old man quietly came to Shanhai City.
The old man was in his fifties, with a broad forehead and round face, prominent eyebrows, and a pair of mustaches; he was dressed very plainly, in coarse linen clothes, with a blue headscarf, and there was a sense of awe-inspiring majesty in his elegance.
After entering the city, the old man toured around the city with great interest. He saw the bustling scene of the commercial street, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment in an orderly manner. He couldn’t help nodding secretly.
Afterwards, the old man walked into the Southwest University Hall, and met a scholar
walking towards him. He clasped his arms and said, “Dare to ask, I heard that there is a library in your place. I don’t know where it is?”
The students of the School of Economics and Economics of Southwest University saw that the old man on the other side was practicing ancient rituals, so they didn’t dare to neglect, so they hurriedly returned the greetings and said, “The library is built by the Moon Lake, I’ll take you there!”
Ouyang Shuo had said earlier that the library was absolutely Don’t leave your broom to cherish yourself, and open to the world.
Therefore, it is not uncommon for people like the old man to ask for directions in Southwest University.
“Thank you!” The
young scholar took the old man to the library, then turned and left.
The old man walked into the library with a somewhat excited and apprehensive expression.
He is none other than Sun Wu, the “Sage of Soldiers”, who is honored as Sun Tzu by later generations. Together with Confucius and Lao Tzu, two sages, they are also known as the three brightest stars in the ideological world in the late Spring and Autumn Period.
Sun Wu has a great relationship with Jiang Shang, the owner of the library.
First, Jiang Shang is revered as the ancestor of the military family, and Sun Wu is the representative of the military family.
Second, Jiang Shang was the founder of Qi State, and Sun Wu was from Le’an Qi State.
Tracing back to the source, the two are really related.
Therefore, after learning that Jiang Shang was the owner of the library, Sun Wu immediately used the mysterious post station of the system to travel thousands of miles to Shanhai City to meet Jiang Shang.
Strictly speaking, Sun Wu, the soldier saint, can be regarded as half a hermit.
Before the age of thirty, Sun Wu was unknown to the world. During his seclusion, he wrote “Sun Tzu’s Art of War”.
After that, he served as a general in the state of Wu for more than 20 years, with outstanding military exploits, and then retreated bravely, lived in seclusion again, and revised the works on the art of war.
Throughout his life, he was full of legend.
Jiang Shang, the master of the Hundred Schools, and Sun Wu, the soldier saint, two sages, crossed time and space, and met in the library.
“Student Changqing, pay homage to the Grand Duke!” Sun Wu greeted his disciples.
Jiang Shang received it sideways, and borrowed a famous saying from “The Analects” to subtly redefine the relationship between the two: “It’s not easy to say that a friend comes from afar!” When the
two masters met, they chatted unconsciously. The art of war, the more we talk, the more speculation we will see each other.
Before I knew it, it was already sunset.
Jiang Shang turned his head and looked outside the building, dazed.
Against the background of the lake, the setting sun was so red that half of the sky was red. Although it was already late, it was also full of red light. He said with emotion: “It is enough to meet a confidant in life.”
“Fortunately!” Sun Wu was also satisfied and looked happy .
“How about it, Changqing, would you like to go to the island with the old man to talk about it?”
“I have my wish, but I dare not ask for it.” The
two laughed, and it was as if old friends reunited, everything was said in silence.
Following Jiang Shang to the Falling Star Island, Sun Wu admired the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains, and said in admiration: “Such an idyllic style, it is a wonderful place to live in seclusion, blessed is the Grand Duke.
” Hou Youxin.”
“Oh?” Sun Wu showed an expression of interest, and said: “Shan Hailing is well-known in the circle, and I just entered the city. I just took a tour. It is indeed well-deserved and well-organized. Taigong lives in seclusion So, what do you think of this Marquis of Lianzhou?”
“Why, do you want to be an official here?”
“No.” Sun Wu shook his head and said, “I have no intention of serving in the army. If I don’t dislike it, I would like to move to the island and write books here and revise military books. I heard that there are tens of thousands of volumes in the library
. Wouldn’t it be a waste to live in seclusion on a small island?”
“Isn’t it the same for
the grandpa?” “This old man is different from you. I have an unresolved relationship with Marquis Lianzhou, so I don’t want to be an official. Even so, I will take over the post of librarian. The hospitality is hard to refuse!” Jiang Shang said frankly.
Sun Wu was silent, pondered for a long time, and then said firmly: “I am still willing to follow my heart, gallop on the battlefield, and scold Fang Qiu. It is no longer my pursuit; it is my lifelong wish to make the art of war great.”
Jiang Shang nodded .
, Said: “Naturally, it’s up to you. This matter can’t be forced. I estimate that the Marquis of Lianzhou will come to visit you tomorrow and invite you to become an official.”
“It doesn’t matter, I have my own calculations.
” There are hills and ravines, it’s not considered a layman, so don’t just refuse.”
Sun Wu’s eyes were fixed, he never thought that Jiang Shang had such a high opinion of this Lianzhou Marquis, and said with a smile: “Listen to the grandpa I really want to see it.”
“You won’t be disappointed, and Bai Qi has already taken the post of General of the Hou’s Mansion, and there is an interesting training system in the Shanhai City Army, I think you will be interested.
” For Mr. Jiang, he knows the world’s affairs without going out.
Chatting and chatting, the two talked about the art of war again, and they simply had a long talk at night.
*************
The next day, Ouyang Shuo received a secret report from the servants of Falling Star Island, saying that a guest came to the island yesterday. He was nearly fifty years old, dressed in a commoner gown, and spent the whole night with his grandfather. talk.
After reading the secret report, Ouyang Shuo was secretly excited.
If what he expected was right, the Hundred Schools of Philosophy had finally been officially launched, and someone who could have a long talk with Jiang Shang all night was not an ordinary person.
“Come here!”
“Hi!”
“Go and invite General Bai Qi!”
“No!”
Ouyang Shuo is going to bring Bai Qi, UU reading www.sonicmtl.
com to visit this mysterious person together, hoping to use Bai Qi as a ready-made example to prove that there is a lot to be done in the mountains and seas, and to increase persuasiveness.
“Your Majesty!” Bai Qi hurried over.
“Follow me to the library.”
“Oh? But what kind of person is here?” Bai Qi’s sharp thinking made him guess the reason right away.
Bai Qi can also be regarded as one of the representatives of military strategists. When Jiang Shang was the owner of the library, he even took time to visit him once. The two had an exchange on the art of war, and the chat was very speculative.
“That’s right.”
“Then I’d like to see it.” (To be continued.)
