Looking at the information collected in his hands, Li Mu realized that he was worrying for nothing. After raising the anti-flag, instead of taking the initiative to attack, he chose to retreat.
If it is in the land of Bashu, it is not without maneuverability. Relying on the wealth of the Land of Abundance, there is still hope for being king for decades.
But in the northwest, if you want to replicate the rise of Xixia, you must at least consider the actual situation!
"Fortressing the south of the Yangtze River" has become a thing of the past. Even if there is no severe drought, it is difficult to gather military rations locally.
According to the past practice, the imperial court has to import hundreds of thousands of grain and grass to the Northwest Seven Guards every year to meet the needs of the frontier army.
? I don¡¯t know if Shaolin¡¯s brain was flooded, and he actually chose the idiot King Anhua. It's right to think about it, except for idiots, no one will rebel at this time.
Regardless of the level of the New Deal introduced by Zhengde, at least the revenue of the treasury has increased, and its own treasury has also become richer.
? When the world was at peace and the court still had money, a rebellion was set off, and the only success was the Battle of Jingnan.
There is no need to worry about the next situation, the situation of the Huashan faction has also stabilized, and Li Mu will naturally have leisure time.
Having been in this world for so long, I have never wandered in the rivers and lakes, which is an insult to the name of a traveler.
Seeing Ning Zhongze who had finished removing his clothes and returned to normal attire, Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "Junior Sister, now that you are out of filial piety, let's go down the mountain for a walk!"
?Time is the best healer. After three years of filial piety, Ningzhong has gradually recovered from the grief of losing his father.
The little girl in the past has grown up now, and has become slim and beautiful.
Ning Zhong hesitated and said, "Brother, isn't this very good?"
It can be seen that she is tempted, but she is a little embarrassed. When the people in the world were young, who didn't have a dream of fighting the sword and fighting for justice?
It's just that as I grow older, my dreams have finally lost to reality, and I have no choice but to become the person I hate the most.
Reached out and touched Ning Zhongze's nose, Li Mu laughed and said, "What's wrong?
You are my fiancee, what if we go out together. Could it be that the junior sister is reminding the senior brother that it's time to prepare for the wedding? "
In this world of early marriage, if they were among the people, the two would have reached the age to get married long ago.
People in the Jianghu usually get married relatively late, but Li Mu, who is almost 25 years old, is about the time. Most of the brothers and sisters were married at his age.
The latest is to be 27 or 28 years old. This part is usually because it happened to catch up with the filial piety period and had to be postponed.
It can't be any later. In this era where "if you are not married at 30, you should not marry again", if you delay it, you will die.
People in the Jianghu are no exception. If they are approaching thirty, even if their parents are bereaved, they will get married first and then mourn.
Only hearing a "hum", Ning Zhong had already ran away shyly. Li Mu, who understood, immediately chased after him
After arranging the affairs in the door, Li Mu took Ning Zhongze down the mountain. It's just that the imaginary world of two did not appear. In order to avoid gossip, there were more than 20 Huashan disciples accompanying him.
It's not easy to be the head of the sect, every word and deed will be seen with a magnifying glass, and it is destined not to be controlled by one's temper.
It took nearly a month to visit mountains and rivers, stop and go all the way, before arriving at the first destination of Quanzhen's ancestral home - Zhongnan Mountain.
Looking at the cloud-shrouded Zhongnan Mountain, Li Mu couldn't help thinking of Wang Wei's poem:
Taiyi is near the capital of heaven,
The mountains meet the corners of the sea.
Bai Yun looks back and closes,
There is nothing in the green mist.
Then there is no more. The knowledge reserve of poetry is limited, and I can only remember these two sentences in total.
Fortunately, the Huashan disciple who accompanied him was not a knowledgeable master, so he didn't find out that his sect master pretended to fail.
As the ancestral court of Quanzhen, even if it has declined, there is still no shortage of monks, temples and Taoist temples on Zhongnan Mountain.
Even the Chongyang Palace, which was destroyed by the war in the past, has been erected again, but it is a pity that it will never regain its former glory.
Without the ability to order the world to be true, the Chongyang Palace is now just an ordinary Taoist temple, with more historical significance at most.
After visiting Zhongnan Mountain and visiting many of his fellow disciples, Li Mu still did not find any traces of the Xiri Ancient Tomb Sect, which may have long since disappeared in the long river of history.
After all, ?bsp; It's just the revival of heaven and earth, not the revival of spiritual energy. It is also possible that it is a flashback before going to extinction.
The sense of crisis is the source of motivation for Li Mu's cultivation. Even though he knows that his current martial arts will not be of any use in the face of the general trend of the world, he is still unwilling to relax in the slightest.
During the trip to Zhongnan Mountain, although he did not find any martial arts secrets, Li Mu still gained a lot.
Communicating with a group of Taoist hermits gave Li Mu a clearer understanding of the future.
Originally, I wanted to go to the Central Plains for a stroll, but I didn't expect that the trouble had already found the door first.
The imperial court's anti-insurgency army has not yet set out, but Yang Yiqing, governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, and Zhang Yong, the supervising army, have already entered Guanzhong first, and all of them have arrived at Huashan.
Face is given to each other. Although the two came to the wharf to worship in order to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, Li Mu still couldn't lose his courtesy.
In any case, it is still under the control of the Ming Dynasty. Even if a martial arts overlord like the Huashan faction is at most a prince along the way, he can't afford to offend the lord of the world for the time being.
When Li Mu hurried back to Mount Hua, the two of them had already arrived at Mount Hua first, and they lived directly on the mountain regardless of whether they were welcome or not.
Standing on the Chaoyang Peak, looking at the Huashan disciples practicing swords in the martial arts field, Yang Yiqing, who was a civil servant, asked: "Eunuch Zhang, you are a rare master. How is the strength of these Huashan disciples?"
Running to the top of Mount Hua was naturally not just to worship the pier. It might not be difficult for the imperial court to suppress the Anhua King's rebellion, but the situation in the Northwest is complicated, the folk customs are tough, and banditry is serious, and it is not easy to restore the situation.
For some matters, it is easier for the court to solve them than to let people in the rivers and lakes take action.
Zhang Yong, who was dressed in uniform, said indifferently: "Fair! It's not suitable for fighting in the army, but the combat effectiveness of a single person is not bad.
If they face each other head-on on the battlefield, a battalion of elites can defeat them; if they fight in the mountains and forests, even a town of soldiers may not be able to take down the hundreds of people we see now. "
Yang Yiqing said in disbelief: "They are so powerful?"
Although he knew that martial arts masters were not easy to mess with, this exchange data still made him feel scared.
Maybe it was because he was in the big palace and knew more secret information, Zhang Yong sighed: "It's nothing strange, if they don't have any strength, why should they become the three overlords of the martial arts.
In fact, the best way to deal with martial arts masters is to use martial arts masters. The army's threat to these martial arts people is actually not that great.
All dynasties and dynasties have wanted to wipe out these martial arts sects, but no one has been able to succeed throughout the past and present.
The people in the martial arts are too great a threat to the army's logistics. If we don't deal with them first, once the army goes deep, our food road will be in danger.
Northwest martial arts has always been respected by the Huashan faction. If we want to counter the rebellion smoothly this time, we must first get rid of them. "
If it were left in the past, there would be no need to go through this more, and people in the martial arts would not jump out at this time to make trouble.
It's different now, because of what happened a few years ago, the relationship between the imperial court and various martial arts factions has become very tense. No one can guarantee whether these guys will make trouble for them at this time.
There is no need to do too much, as long as a fire is set at a critical moment, the counter-insurgency army on the front line will be hungry.
?As the person in charge of this counter-insurgency operation, the two must take precautions to prevent such accidents from happening.
Yang Yiqing nodded and said: "Don't worry, father-in-law, Mr. Yang also served in Guanzhong, and he has dealt with the Huashan faction several times before, so he knows how to deal with it.
Now I just feel indignant at the behavior of these guys who have nothing to do with force, but don't want to serve the country. ?
