Chapter 156 Water Margin

Xu Yan Bing has not returned, the meal still have to eat, the Zhou Junchen not dare to use the big fish and meat broad, so that the Royal Catering House carefully prepared a vegetarian feast, Queen Yu Rou Rou from the side of the accompaniment, is responsible for holding the bottle of pouring rice wine. Zhou Junchen has the sense to take off the dragon robe, put on an ordinary rich people’s brocade clothes, Yu Ruo Rou natural is also a husband and wife, but although no cape, is still spent some coquettish thoughts, wearing a top of the green and red velvet brocade made of yellow nuns crown, embellished with beads embedded jade height of one foot, such as the straight neck of the goose head, will be her slender white neck lined with the more and more tempting, but also a few points of the Jiangnan women’s elegance. Huang Baner swallowed a whole lot of food, carried a powerful general of Qingcang City to place the westbound monk’s residence, Zhou Junchen carefully glanced at the king of Beiliang who chewed slowly, made up his mind to eat and drink with a smile, as for the accompanying sleep, he is a big man with the heart but also unable to do so, it is the queen of Qingcang City’s queen’s hand skills.

Xu Fengyen did not pay attention to Yu Rou Rou’s charming eyes, let Zhou Junchen say something about Fengxiang Lin Ballad two feudal kings of the situation, the Northern Liang spies are not immortals, it is impossible to do everything, Zhou Junchen as one of the four leaders of the land of the displaced people, his mouth out of the news, credibility is not low. Fengxiang king Ma Liu Ke was once a nobody Yangzhou gold worker, the way to get rich with Zhou Junchen a little similar, are first to other powerful forces, but a staff of advice, and then the old master died in an attack, the nominal lord of Fengxiang young and ignorant, to the Ma Liu Ke hostage to command, little by little to accumulate a solid family, but Zhou Junchen said that this person and the western region of the Ragged Mountain has some chance, since last year, harboring hundreds of people, and the world’s first time in the world, the world’s most important thing, is that the world’s most important thing. Since last year, he has been harboring hundreds of monks and soldiers, who are extremely brave and good at fighting. Beiliang spies show that the Beiliang family origin of the King Cai Anshan of Lin Rumor is mean and unforgiving, is a common suffering but not with the rich and powerful characters, but in Zhou Junchen’s mouth, even to say that the old man is quite bold, can let the real villain of Zhou Junchen are convinced, Xu Fengyen thinks that most of them have some ability, as for the Lin Rumor Fengxiang between the gangs, are all rely on looting for a living of the horse bandits, turn the tables on the people, the black eating the black is a good hand! The three military towns have not suffered much over the years, and this group of horse thieves are often fat to the point of crossing the border to the North Mang South Dynasty to scavenge for oil and water, once alarmed one of the great generals of the North Mang, Liu Gui, personally led the troops to eliminate the bandits not to mention the fat man surnamed Dong also specially instructed to keep an eye on the piece of the Gusei state’s borders, the horse trouble after this only after the reduction of many of the lawless gangs are stationed in the stone carving of the mountain, Zhou Junchen said that the gang leader is the name of a gorgeous and beautiful woman, he broke through the sky, and the gangs are not the only gangs, but also the most important ones. Zhou Junchen said that the leader of the gang was a beautiful woman in her prime. He broke the secret and reminded Xu Fengnian not to look at this group of horse bandits and the North Mang not to deal with, he and Cai Anshan privately think that it is just a bitter trick, but in fact it is the North Mang’s spies in the land of the stragglers, otherwise where would there be so many familiar with how to come to the horse?

Xu Fengnian Zhou Junchen’s words bit by bit comb through the past, did not find too big loopholes, asked: “three old military towns plus that unit of horse thieves, a total of 178,000 sinners, roughly half of the young and strong age of roughly half of the horse on the horse can fight under the horse can be plowed, is a northern Liang and northern Mang are very greedy for the source of the soldiers, I do not expect a breath of money in the hands of the hands to see, to look at, Fengxiang Lin Rumor with the Shikuangshan, in three places Those who are in power are just two dozen people, how many of them are willing to be pacified and recruited?”

Zhou Junchen hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: “I risk my life to tell the truth, don’t have no choice, with the hatred between the displaced people and Beiliang, as long as they don’t really starve to death, they all prefer to starve even more, but also don’t want to go and eat the scraps of food that Beiliang gives them. The small city of Qingcang, with the ass think all guessed, Shen Congwu and his 1,600 people to take advantage of this opportunity, either strutting to set up their own door, or simply run to rely on the ballad of the city of Cai Anshan, is not going to run back to Qingcang city, no matter how much the king of the official you sealed him, are useless, that guy was six years old when he saw the whole elders of the clan was cut off one by one, and then driven to the bird of paradise. He was driven to this shithole of a land of displaced people, dreaming of how to kill back to Northern Liang to take revenge. Fenxiang Lin ballad also has a lot of such and the North Liang not to share the sky of the strong young guy holding the military power, small one is not the original destruction of the North Liang clan, and the North Liang has no grudge, the second heart and soul admire the ability of the king, which is willing to do for the North Liang cattle as a horse ten thousand deaths. ……”

Xu Fengnian put down his chopsticks and said flatly, “If you were sitting in my position, how would you collect the stragglers? If things are difficult, they still have to be done, don’t they. If you can tell us what to do, you will be credited with a great merit, and Qingcang will still be in your pocket.”

Zhou Junchen was about to deliberately pretend to be trembling, holding a bottle of Yu Ruorou slightly coughed, Zhou Junchen quickly back to God, he has probably known the young feudal king with you to say serious things when the habit, don’t be ambiguous, straight to the point is better than anything else, Zhou Junchen drank a cup of wine to strengthen the courage, only then said: “We are the stragglers are no home and no root of the lonely souls of the wild ghosts, well, is the kind of Qingming Festival do not know where to go to the grave of the ancestors of the poor, all believe that here do not leave the master own stay, we here is not the long term business, no one has that put a long line to catch a big fish patience, only about what you can pull out of your pocket at this time, to give silver to give food, that from head to toe are your people, you every day, good wine and good meat rewarded, I will be willing to work hard for you, of course, Beiliang the ‘outsiders’. The ‘outsiders’ except, is really so many years have eaten too much suffering, the king’s family crossbowmen come here to kill people twice a day, we are afraid and hate ah, hate and fear, all to the bone. So, this pot of porridge, down chopsticks too fast easy to burn the mouth, have to take their time, I heard that the king led more than 1,000 monks into the land of the displaced people, this is a small head can not think of a wonderful hand, great ah, the entire land of the displaced people on the not a few books, so Confucianism is here is a joke, as for the Taoism of the one person to get a man in a position of power, but also no one is interested in the rice can not eat, but also to go to cultivate the road? Only the bald donkey’s set of sayings, many people are happy to believe, anyway, this life is reincarnated to suffer the life of a bitch, the big deal is to break the pot, how it is, not only can only be staring at the afterlife? This person na, I kind of see through, as long as there is the slightest thought left, began to fear death, say I Zhou Junchen, small just heard that the king wants to leave my life to stay in Qingcang, the heart of the mind will inevitably be alive. The monks came to give the displaced people day after day to say blessings, not to say let the displaced people grateful, at least have a thought, not so self-abandonment, will not only think of this life can kill a Beiliang armor even if back to the capital, to kill two is earned. But then, Zhou Junchen thought, just have monks to us to drum up a thought or not too top, have to come to some real, especially to fill the stomach, our Qingcang City in the past is the Dragon King’s House are overstretched, really do not have that money to recruit people, but with the king of the Northern Liang support, do not want to be more, as long as every day can be set up in the three gates of the city on each of the dozen or so pots, I do not believe that no one hooked a day no one to come, ten days! There should be one in a month, right? As long as someone to lead, then can not stop the flow of people flocked to the …… bone this thing, perhaps everyone counts some, but well, also divided into light and heavy, some people heavy, there is no lack of people to be heavier than the life of the people, but more people are still light …… ”

Yu Rou Rou timidly lowered eyebrows, softly interrupted Zhou Junchen: “If really no one dares to come, you can let the body bones of the weak Qing Cang armor to pretend to be a straggler.”

Zhou Junchen glared, “Shut up woman!”

Xu Fengyen waved his hand, not commenting on Yu Rou Rou’s plan, signaling Zhou Junchen to continue, a bellyful of bad water of the latter this time drinking into a moisturizing throat, red light, obviously getting better, “Light is to crush the three towns with the Beiliang iron cavalry, the stragglers to fight is sure to be unable to fight, you can hide, go to the western region is to hide, or even go to the northern Mang is to hide, clattering a bird and beast dispersal, and also misplaced the king’s The king’s plan for a thousand years. Holding section order …… Oh no, that Murong old man had previously said that the stragglers sandwiched between Liang and Mang, gains and losses are calculated in accordance with the double, visible to the king of the use is not small, really to the North Liang iron horsemen forced to rush, there will certainly be people in a fit of anger on the North Mang South Dynasty, I heard that the South Dynasty, the temple of the West Beijing, there are really big people want to accept the stragglers for their own use, however, many of the pacification policy, are the thunder and lightning, but the people are not the only ones. Many of the policies of the people, are the thunder but the rain is small, I think it is blocked by the internal Xijing, besides, the displaced people are poor, not stupid, I am afraid that the North Mang do not have good intentions, once on the South Dynasty’s pirate ship, they have to drive themselves to fight with the iron horsemen of the North Liang A world, the Spring and Autumn period remnants of the South Dynasty, a belly of bad water compared to the Zhou Junchen, only more and less. The nest fight, their own people scourge their own skills, this group of defected to the North Mang’s two surnames of family slaves, that are carrying hundreds of thousands of years of generations of ancestors slowly accumulated experience, a history book, is not in the tireless teaching later generations of readers how to not see the blood of the killers?”

Xu Fengyen was somewhat impressed, and smiled pleasantly, “Don’t be sentimental, say something serious.”

Zhou Junchen hastily chicken pecked his head and nodded, “Zhou Junchen has a policy, four words, divide and rule. This division, divided into two kinds, one is the geographical, plan out the small this shit Qing Cang Wang, that the king can promise the remaining three troops continue to be the emperor of the land, but nominally have to submit to the northern Liang, the king will be the land of the stragglers to add a new state, which has the assassin and the general of the two not small official hat, like Cai Anshan certainly want to scoff at, but it doesn’t matter ah, only to focus on their own enjoyment of happiness don’t care too much about other people’s deaths of the Ma Liuko, may be tempted, and He is the only one who has a good idea about this, but he is the only one who has the good intention of the people. The first is that the two towns are not the same, but the two towns are not the same, but the two towns are not the same, but the two towns are not the same, but the two towns are not the same, but the two towns are not the same, but the two towns are not the same, but the two towns are not the same, but the two towns are not the same, but the two towns are not the same, but the two towns are not the same, but the two towns are not the same, but the two towns are not the same, and the two towns are not the same, and the two towns are not the same. The second divide and rule, is for the waiting for the crime of the body of the stragglers themselves, some are in the northern Liang army committed a felony abandoned pawns, this group of people, exempted from the crime. There are also some people are the last ten years in the northern Liang territory of the powerful family, was driven to us here, the king can restore their family property in the northern Liang, there is an official body, back to them can be, if this is too much to look down on them, can be half of the family property, the official hat shrunk a little bit, to the less small to appease. As for the earliest set of stragglers locals, surrounded by them, the guy, dead, the number of people is also the most, but may not be the real oil and salt, their ancestral graves are not in the territory of Beiliang Well, allow them to return home to pay homage to their ancestors that is, after seeing the flowers of the hometown of Beiliang, there are always people willing to go back to the roots of, and there are still some left to nowhere to escape only to the land of stragglers to take refuge in the outlaws, there are the Central Plains Jianghu people, and also to the Liyang dynasty. There is also the descendants of officials and eunuchs who hate the Liyang court to the bone, so it’s better to get rid of them, the king’s order to open the gateway of Beiliang, they will be the most happy to leave the land of the displaced people of the set of people. I also have a matter, have to boldly say on a said, the king’s ambition, the soldiers pointed, since there is no rival, so the northern Liang is sure to eat hundreds of thousands of people this piece of fat meat, can eat, but also have to be good some of the line, how to a good method, once recruited three towns of sinners, for example, do not rush them into the border army, but to the relative stability of the lingzhou, but the salary, can be very low than the border army or even lingzhou army, all to low out a big cut, and the army of the three towns, the army of the three towns, and the army of the three towns. However, the salary, can be very low, than the border army and even the Lingshu army, are lower than a big cut, and when they are integrated into the northern Liang, this is the brawny and bloodthirsty characters who can not resist loneliness, most of them do not have attachments, by then, probably their own will start to want to go to the border to get the military achievements. Hey, say far, the king do not want to blame, small this is to say a little closer, want to make the success of the divide and rule, not only all the ancient and modern all the superior like to use enwei and jiqi, beneficence small has said, to this on the official hat, to the hungry a mouthful of rice to eat, to the body to be guilty of the removal of the charges, are the king’s great benevolence, the matter of the establishment of the authority, not necessarily the king like today this personally, the small king with the A few thousand Longxiang iron horse will be enough, the little king has long played out the prestige, that is to kill the North Mang elite troops like cutting rice invincible fierce generals, with the king’s grace in the front, the little king’s iron horse trails in the back, the bones are hard, but not so hard the stragglers, but also the water will be pushed into the boat to surrender, anyway, to lose to the heroes of such a man, but also not a disgrace is not it? The rest of the stubborn ones, if they want to die, go ahead and die. From the old prince handed over to the king’s hands of the Northern Liang 300,000 iron cavalry, kill who is ambiguous?”

Yu Rou Rou quietly arched her eyebrows, she was always carefully checking the young feudal king’s face, it looked like her husband’s “nonsense” not to say that he was able to keep the position of the Lord of Qing Cang, at the very least, he didn’t sink into a worse situation.

Xu Fengyen smiled, “You and someone’s strategy of governing the displaced people are a bit similar, and you have five or six points of his strength. But people have never been to the land of the displaced people, it’s different from you.”

Zhou Junchen even sat subconsciously bent over, his face full of fawning said, “Little that is all nonsense, can not dare to compare with the high person beside the king, there is a one-tenth of the similarity, are stepping on dog shit.”

Xu Fenian stood up, Zhou Junchen hurriedly followed.

Xu Fengyen said, “Zhou Junchen, I’ll give you two choices, either stay in Qingcang City and give that person a hand job, or go to the territory of Lingzhou to become a fat county guard. However, I think you still choose the latter is safe, on your little backbone, in the future encounter life and death choices, ten percent ten to be a Beiliang traitor, at that time I will definitely want you to die, your kind of people, when a peaceful official, can barely be considered a capable official. Beiliang lack of officials, but only do not want to what the corpse of the clean officials, you then greedy to greedy, I do not mind, but never remember not to delay to the people of Beiliang to do things. Covetous officials, greedy more or less, on a mouth and two hands, can eat how much to take how much? What’s more, the real value of money, but also can not take to the coffin, rich family property are there, really want to take this matter to take this knife, the military strength of the border of Beiliang can also be a step up, but the Xu family has not been exhausted to this point.”

Kneeling down to thank the grace of Zhou Junchen and Yu Ruorou glanced at each other, from each other’s eyes to see some from the bottom of the heart scorn.

Xu Fengnian blandly said, “Get up, you can probably stay in Qingcang for another month or so.”

Zhou Junchen and Yu Rou Rou got up and stood side by side, Xu Fengyen suddenly smiled at Yu Rou Rou and said, “I gave Zhou Junchen a county governor, and there is nothing to give to you, your matter, it is written in the Beiliang Spy News, at least as long as you don’t want to then no one can make you take off your clothes in the future. If there is, and Zhou Junchen shamelessly agrees to it, and you come to Qingliang Mountain, I will help you stop it.”

After Xu Fengyen left, a loud slap came from behind him, followed by a bawling cry, from Yu Rou Rou and also from Zhou Junchen.

Xu Fengyen walked straight out of the north gate of the Dragon King’s Mansion, which was equal to going out of the city, north of the city, there was a small lake with shallow water only up to his knees, he squatted on the ground beside the lake, grabbed a handful of sand and soil, gently threw it into the lake, and was struck with bewilderment.

In fact, according to Chen Xiliang’s original plan, the first thing to establish prestige, is to use 20,000 iron horsemen blood wash Qingcang City, killed Qingcang around the inch of grass, and then go to talk about the matter of grace.

That Ma Liu Ke’s monks is actually Xu Fengyen and Ruoduo Mountain that six pearl Bodhisattva of a deal, of course, Ma Liu Ke is not clear about the insides of the Tantric woman Dharma King to do to be that Ruoduo Mountain’s master, you have to join forces with the hands of the iron horsemen of the Northern Liang Xu family, Xu Fengyen in order to control the vast areas of the Western Region, of course, there is also to solve the urgent need, that is, the formation of east and west pincers of the hundred thousand of the stragglers of the military posture, and then sent to the tens of thousands of light cavalry in the north and south borders! Tigers eyeing, to stop the hundreds of thousands of stragglers around, in fact, in this big pocket of stragglers, either surrender, or die, North Mang South Dynasty deliberately spread rumors that Xu Snap died before his last words to stragglers to accompany the funeral, in fact, a mistake, accidentally half right. Li Yishan left a brief and concise brocade bag before his death, and Chen Xiliang s ruthless strategy coincided with it.

But in Xu Fengyin know, the master for these displaced because of their own, is harboring guilt, just never put in the mouth, but in the put in the end of the pen.

The ashes of the master who died without a grave were scattered at the border.

To be born, to be old, to die and to be buried.

These are the three great blessings of life according to that withered man.

The hundreds of thousands of displaced people who were uprooted on this soil didn’t seem to enjoy the same.

Li Yishan, who wrote the twenty-year history of the displaced people, “Knowing Autumn Record”, in his twilight years, he called himself Water Margin Mountain Ghost.

Water Margin, in the wild also.

Waterfront wild ghost.

Perhaps because in the master’s view, he is not the same as the son of the family Zhao Changling who carried thousands of slaves to plunge into the Xu family in great numbers, not the same as the one with the ambition to level the world’s Spring and Autumn Yangcai, he Li Yishan has never walked into the temple, never knelt down, in the final analysis, he is the same as these homeless homeless and graves can be sacrificed to the stragglers, is always just a wandering soul by the tide of the lake, the wild ghosts of Qingliang Mountain.

Xu Fengnian leaned back and closed his eyes. Lying on the yellow sandy ground, his hands rested under the back of his head.

Having eaten Master Liu Artemisia’s Purple Thunder, and later on, that bun from Qilin Realist Yuan Qingshan.

Somewhat full ah.
