The light from the sky flooded the carpet through the windows, and the house that had been noisy all night finally became quiet. The two were lying on the bed in a large shape, with the quilt covering their chests indiscriminately, panting heavily with wet body, without any image at all.
Sheng Ji looked at Fang Liang with blank eyes, and murmured weakly: "I thought that this day might come, but I didn't expect it to come so early... Now that I think about it, it still feels too sudden."
Li Ye chuckled tiredly and complacently, "Everything happened suddenly, in fact, the boat went straight when it arrived at the bridge."
The physique of the Great Cultivator is different, a little trauma can be recovered in an instant, and the first night can be tossed all night. The old man Li Ye had plowed the land almost overnight, no matter how energetic he was, he couldn't withstand such heavy labor, and now he didn't even bother to move his fingers.
The two girls who were eavesdropping outside the window finally felt bored after discussing for more than an hour and dispersed together. I don't know if I've come here now, Li Ye still thinks that someone will wait for him to wash.
Sheng Ji lifted a snow-white arm from under the quilt, punched Li Ye on the cheek without looking at it, and suppressed his smug laughter, "Stop laughing, let me sleep for a while. Don't call me if the meal is not ready... It must be cooked by you yourself. I have to make up for it today."
"..." Li Ye felt that he was the one who needed to make up.
The absurdity didn't happen during the day. After Li Ye had a short rest, he got up and called Shao Si Ming, whose eyes were full of curiosity and resentment, to come in and take care of the wash.
The hot water in the tub was ready, but the girl looked disgusted, she couldn't hold the sweat towel properly, she twisted her two fingers, and just passed over Li Ye's back and shoulders casually, which was regarded as wiping. After Li Ye pinched her delicate and small face seven or eight times in a strange manner, she finally calmed down.
Military newspapers continued to arrive after Li Ye had eaten. After Shangguan Qingcheng occupied Weizhou, he dispersed the 100,000 soldiers and horses under his command in units of 5,000 people, and was led by military disciples to attack the city and plunder everywhere, while he personally led the main force of the Spike Army and went straight to Minzhou.
Half a month later, the six or seven Hexi prefectures around Minzhou and the south were all captured by an army of 100,000. After Shangguan Qingcheng arrived in Minzhou, he only had a quick meeting with Li Ye, and then led his army to the north to defend the dangerous pass.
In less than a month, nearly half of the territory of the Luna Sect of the Six Valleys Department of the Tubo in Hexi was lost. As the military information spread to all parts of Hexi, all the tribes of Tubo were shaken.
Although Tubo originated on the plateau, the plateau is an extremely poor place, and there are very few livable places. The environment cannot afford the large-scale reproduction of Tubo people. The royal city in the plateau valley is not as big as a state city in Hexi.
It is said that there are many tribes in Tubo, but in fact the number of each tribe is very small, and most of them live like savages. Apart from being tough, they have nothing to recommend. Those Tubo people who claim to be aristocrats basically do not live as well as an ordinary small landlord in the Central Plains.
Therefore, since Tubo captured Hexi, the main force has migrated here. Li Ye thought to himself, as long as the Liugu tribe and Wenmo tribe of the Tubo people in Hexi were eliminated, the forces of the Tubo tribes on the plateau would be no different from his army of monks.
The drastic change in Hexi, the news spread back to Guanzhong, immediately set off great waves in the ruling and opposition parties.
It was a rare time for Li Yan to go to the imperial court. He had just sat on the throne during the grand court meeting, and before his buttocks were hot, he was shocked by the generosity of the officials all over the hall, and stood up from his seat.
Looking at their red eyes and bared teeth and claws, there is no such thing as a high-ranking minister, and they are almost indistinguishable from tigers and wolves. This makes people have no doubt that even a civil servant who is not good at cultivation and combat power can jump on the Tubo warrior and bite his blood.
Datang has endured Tubo for a long time!
Tang people hated Tubo for too long!
The two sides have long had a deep hatred!
Since the Anshi Rebellion broke out and the frontier defenses of the Tang Dynasty were empty, Tubo rushed down from the plateau from all sides like vicious dogs, and captured part of the Western Regions and the entire Hexi. The hands of the Tubo people were stained with the blood of an unknown number of Tang frontier soldiers and common people, especially the old incident of capturing Chang'an, which left the imprint of great shame on the hearts of the proud Tang people.
Now King An has regained the seven provinces of Hexi in the blink of an eye with only a few monks and 100,000 soldiers and horses.
Together with King An, counterattack Hexi! Counterattack Tubo!
The first shame, is now!
This is the voice of every passionate Datang person right now.
The agitation formed by this kind of intense emotion soon swept from Guanzhong to the Central Plains, Hebei, Jianghuai, Jiangnan, Chu, and even all Datang counties.
After the excitement of the crowd, the hearts of the people from all over the world returned, and the aspirations of the people of Datang were brought together again. To be loyal to the court and serve the country, after experiencing the disappointment of the Huangchao Rebellion and the chaos of the hegemony, has once again become the sincere pursuit of people with lofty ideals, and the first choice for passionate children to realize the value of life.
Under such circumstances, Li Ye's reputation quickly climbed to a big level.
The most direct effect is that the garrisons and officers and generals he dispatched to the Central Plains, Huainan, and various small vassal territories have received great support, and various power transfers and military and political affairs have progressed exceptionally smoothly.
Even though Li Ye was far away in Minzhou, he also felt the tide that manpower could not resist.
The power of the people's luck gathered towards him like a wave. The speed, intensity, and scope were so wide that he could hardly believe it.
Especially today, when Li Ye's personal luck is gradually merging with the dynasty's national destiny, the impact of the power of common people's luck on him is even more shocking from the bottom of his heart.
According to this situation, Li Ye felt that the Golden Wonderland was close at hand.
"I used to think that in order for most of the people to return to their hearts, Hexi must be completely conquered. I didn't expect that this was just a good start, and it caused such a strong reaction from the people of the world. It seems that I was wrong before. I underestimated it. Tang people's yearning and expectation for the prosperous Tang Dynasty, if they see a little hope, they will explode with unimaginable power... "
Li Ye thought so.
He got to know the brave Tang people again, and also realized what Tang glory is.
It is a kind of attitude that even if I can't eat enough, as long as a foreign race dares to set foot on our land, I will not hesitate to twist my knife and give up my own one-acre three-point land to rush forward and desperately.
Not very rational, just heroic.
The people living on this land have not yet become sheep in this era, far from it.
They were just tired of the civil strife in the feudal town, so no matter how powerful Li Ye was in the country before, he still couldn't win the loyalty of most of the people quickly. They were just too eager to avenge their shame and Yang Wei, so now Li Ye just regained some states and counties to get such a strong gift.
Li Ye felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
There are good emotions and there are bad ones.
The luck of the common people in the Tang Dynasty gathered explosively and rapidly, but the luck of the Han people in Hexi was less than he expected.
A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the book chasing artifact, the source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp.org
a lot less.
Li Ye soon felt that the power of luck of the Han people in Hexi was not completely unmoved, but it seemed that a cloud was covering their heads, making them seem to be stuck in a quagmire. Even if they were moving and struggling, they couldn't get out for a while. .
The power of luck of the Hexi Han people is related to the outcome of his battle with the son of the Moon God Sect, and it is no small matter, Li Ye dare not be careless.
With a thought, Li Ye's consciousness spread far away and turned into hundreds of eyes to observe the situation of Han people everywhere.
This is also the ability he just acquired. It is a new means of observing the common people in the world given to him by Emperor Dao after recovering the seven prefectures in Hexi and advancing to a higher level.
...
Lanzhou in the north of Minzhou has always been an important place in Hexi, and Jincheng County is the seat of its state capital.
The Zhang family in Jincheng County is a rare Han family in this area, and its genealogy can be traced back to the end of the Han Dynasty. For hundreds of years, the Zhang family has experienced several declines and prosperity in Jincheng County, and it is still able to stand still, not only because of its good cultivation skills, but also because of the words "farming, reading and inheriting the family".
Zhang Zhongli is over 60 years old, and has been relieved of the burden of the patriarch for many years. Now, besides reading and writing, he is tending the several mu of Susukida in the backyard.
As the sun set, Zhang Zhongli, whose sackcloth was stained with many soil stains, came out of the field with a hunched waist, carrying a hoe, and stepped into the yard with the last rays of the sun.
Along the way, he beat his lower back lightly with his thin hands from time to time.
Entering the Moon Gate, seeing the middle-aged man waiting in the courtyard, Zhang Zhongli smiled, "You are a patriarch who manages everything every day, but you haven't come to see me, a useless old man, today is What good happened?"
Zhang Xun, a middle-aged man, is the eldest son of Zhang Zhongli and the current head of the Zhang family.
Faced with Zhang Zhongli's ridicule, Zhang Xun asked solemnly after saluting seriously: "Yesterday my father received a few old people from big families and talked for a long time in the secret room. My son dared to ask father and uncle What did we talk about?"
Zhang Zhongli put the hoe in the corner of the wall, patted the dirt and dust on his body with a dry rag, and then looked at Zhang Xun. The old man's reason?"
Zhang Xun's face changed slightly, he knelt down on the ground without hesitation, bowed to Zhang Zhongli, and said in a sad, eager, and anxious tone: "Father! My son knows that you have always had the Han Dynasty in your heart. When Zhang Yichao rose to power , regardless of the strength of Tubo in Lanzhou, you led your tribe and joined forces with several major families to respond, and fought with the Tubo people for three days and three nights. Even when the war was unfavorable, you still stormed the city lord's mansion, and even a kidney was stabbed by the Tubo people Tiao Fei didn't care about it either...but because of this, the Zhang family has been able to..."
"shut up!"
Zhang Zhongli suddenly yelled furiously, his old bark-like face flushed instantly, "What this old man did back then was worthy of the imperial court, his conscience, and the teachings of his ancestors, and you, a rebellious son, can comment on it?!"
After saying a word, his body swayed, his eyes turned black, and he stretched out his hand to support the pillar so that he didn't fall down.
In the bloody battle that year, he lost a kidney, and suffered trauma all over his body. His foundation was greatly damaged, and his cultivation base was running low. Over the years, his health has deteriorated day by day. In a fit of rage, how could he, who had just returned from the fields, endure it
"Father!"
Seeing Zhang Zhongli's appearance, Zhang Xun let out a cry of grief, his face was full of tears in an instant, he knelt to the opponent's feet, hugged him and cried bitterly: "Father! My son knows that you have heard the news that the imperial court sent troops to Hexi this time. Meet your uncle." We also want to raise an incident to respond again, but it won’t work! The Tubo people are powerful, and the Moon God Sect is in full swing. We must not disobey them, otherwise we will suffer disaster!
"Back when Zhang Yichao raised an incident, Lai's father fought a bloody battle, and Lanzhou also joined him in name, but what happened? Zhang Yichao was recalled to Chang'an by the imperial court, under the name of promotion, but in fact it was surveillance. They were slaughtered in sevens and eights, the family property was wiped out, and only Susukada was left to barely make ends meet... If it weren't for the fact that the big families still have some popular support, the Zhang family would have ceased to exist long ago, so how could they linger on? until now
"Father! In recent years, there have been many masters of the Moon God Sect, and the Son of God has communicated with the Moon God, which is a sign of great success. Please listen to my son's advice, King An can't win, even if he wins for a while, he will only fight with Zhang Yichao Similarly, you should stop having extravagant hopes, otherwise the family will be doomed... "
Hearing this, Zhang Zhongli couldn't bear it any longer, spurted out a mouthful of old blood, closed his eyes, and fell directly to the ground.
"Father, father..."
Zhang Xun, who hastily picked up Zhang Zhongli and walked into the house, did not notice that at this moment, an invisible and ignorant eye in midair was watching this scene.
