Chapter 313: The northern enemy of Sanchuan is in chaos, don’t talk and laugh and quiet Husha

Mei Xun Army won a great victory in the fight against Ashina Chengqing, and the danger of Jianghuai was temporarily resolved, but his 60,000 troops were also dispersed. Mei Xiao himself was only the seventh-rank left Qianniu Guard Chief, and it was impossible to command the military and horses of Jiangnan and Huainan states. When the rebels attacked the south, the situation was critical, and the temporary military and horses mobilized by each state were all under his command.

When the crisis was temporarily lifted, all prefectures and prefectures had the intention of protecting themselves in the city and recalled the local garrison troops. If Mei Xiao took this army away and the rebels attacked again, what should we do if there were no military troops and horse guards in various places? The commanders of various places were making small plans. In addition, Mei Xiao did not have the right to formally transfer the army, and this time he went out to the army was not officially ordered, and he could not restrain and order the prefectures, so he could only sigh.

In the end, Meixiao had 7,000 people left. In addition to the two thousand strong men of the Mei family who followed him and the one thousand soldiers assigned by Wuzhou Prefecture, the remaining 4,000 people were all civilians who voluntarily joined the army. Meixiao rectified the 7,000 troops in Tianshui County, while Nan Jiyun borrowed troops from Meixiao to head north. At this moment, Meixiao received two "edicts".

One was an edict from Guo Ziyi, the deputy commander of the world's military and horses, and the new emperor Li Heng was appointed as the general who fought against rebellion, and ordered him to lead his troops to rush to Guanzhong to besiege Chang'an. The other was an edict sent by King Yong Li Lin, who sent an envoy to give Mei Xiao the edict to General Jinghuai, and ordered him to lead his troops south to join King Yong's navy.

Mei Xiao was in a dilemma with these two edicts, so he went to ask Mei Yi for advice. Mei Yi said, "When I came, I heard that the prince had ascended the throne and issued an order to attack King Yong. Your purpose of raising an army is to make achievements, but don't fall into this unnecessary siblings and go to Guanzhong."

Mei Xiao divided two thousand soldiers and horses to Nan Jiyun, including one thousand cavalry and one thousand infantrymen, and asked him to take these people north and lead five thousand soldiers and horses to Guanzhong west to join Guo Ziyi. Mei Xiao ignored King Yong's edict, so why did he agree to divide the troops to Nan Jiyun?

Although the rebels were powerful, the prefectures in Henan were not completely fell, and some people were still resisting. The Grand Canal in the Tang Dynasty did not go from Yanjing to Hangzhou as it is now, but from Luoyang to the southeast into the Huaihe River. Suiyang City was the throat of the Heluo area entering the Jianghuai area. Especially when the Jiangnan army and horses repelled the cavalry of Ashina Chengqing, the strategic position of Suiyang City became particularly important.

After the fall of Chang'an, the rebels were in great power. Xu Yuan, the prefect of Suiyang, asked Zhenyuan to order Zhang Xun to rescue him and assist him in defending Suiyang. Zhang Xun sent Nan Jiyun to the south to show warning, and on the other hand, to request reinforcements. Mei Xiao's army was limited. He tried his best to allocate two thousand elite troops to Nan Jiyun, asking him to lead troops back to Suiyang.

Both groups of soldiers left, but Mei Yi stayed. After crossing the sea of ​​suffering, his state of mind was different from that of ordinary people. He had seen through the various rises and falls of sentient beings in the cycle of reincarnation. Since this general who had killed countless people became a local immortal, he only wanted to transcend the cycle of reincarnation and never got involved in the battle of killing. This was the first time he had taken action to kill Gu Dufu and Gu Dushou.

Mei Yi returned to Wuzhou to see Mei Yingxing's situation, but met another person outside Qingyi Sanshan and blocked him on the road.

"Ying Ning, are you here to visit Xing'er?" Mei Yi asked by Qingyi Lake at the foot of Qi Yunfeng.

The visitor was Ying Ning. She replied with a worried look: "Yes, I don't know how injured my younger brother is?"

Mei Yi: "You are safe. But you still need to sleep for several months. It's useless to see him, so you'd better go back."

Ying Ning was stunned, her face turned pale. She couldn't help asking, "Senior, where did I go?"

Mei Yi said lightly: "I don't know, you have your place to go."

Upon hearing this, the smart Yingning immediately understood what Mei Yi meant. He didn't want her to continue to be with Mei Yingxing, at least not with Qingyi's three mountains. He said aggrievedly: "I'm just worried about Xing'er's brother's injury and have no other intentions. Why don't I let me meet him?"

Mei Yi looked at her with a deep meaning in his eyes and said, "Your relationship with Xing'er is nothing if you are an ordinary fellow Taoist. If it is a couple on earth, it is another matter, but it may not be appropriate to use your wish as a fellow Taoist practice. Where did you go when Xing'er was injured in the battle formation?"

When the monster hand in the sky hit the battlefield that day, Mei Yingxing was the first to wave the wisteria branch to greet him. Yuwen Deng also flew up in the sky. Yuwen Long and Yuwen Hu each raised magic weapons to meet the enemy. Aban, who was headed and brained, rushed into the sky with Mei Yingxing. According to the situation of the other party, they could not resist it, but each of them did not retreat, because they were even more impacted when they retreated, especially in the battle formation, they could not lose their mutual cover position.

Only Ying Ning retreated in time and fought back from the flank to the clouds. At this time, Mei Yi arrived. It is a very normal move for a practitioner to avoid the enemy's edge when fighting. She is better than Mei Yingxing in terms of cultivation, but she may not be able to stop the strange claws in the air when she takes action, so she cannot blame her for this.

Mei Yi did not accuse Yingning, but said that she was not suitable for Mei Yingxing's Taoist partner and should eliminate this wish. Yingning's body trembled slightly when she heard this, and didn't know how to explain it. Mei Yi looked at her and said, "You should know the military discipline in the army. At that time, I was also the youngest personal soldier next to King Du Fuwei of Wu. When the shaman witch entered the formation that day, Mei Xiao's personal soldiers knew they were defeated but fought to the death. Do you know why?"

The so-called personal soldiers are the most elite guards around the general. They usually receive the highest salary, have the best equipment and treatment, and have a high status in the army. But one thing is, if the enemy rushed to the front of the formation and wanted to kill the general, and the general was in danger and the personal soldiers did not come forward, it would be a death sentence!

Yingning lowered her head and said weakly: "But I..." She wanted to say that she was not Mei Yingxing's personal soldier, but she couldn't say this.

Mei Yi interrupted her and said, "I know you are not Xing'er's personal soldier, nor is he a real marching general. You are just a monk who comes to help, treating yourself as a paradise who helps. If this is the case, you should thank you, and there is no retribution... But Xing'er wants to regard you as a Taoist partner, but what you do is not a Taoist partner, so he would have cut off his thoughts long ago."

Ordinary friends cannot accuse Yingning of not doing enough, but if it is a Taoist companion, it should not be what Yingning does. If the enemy is Mei Zhenyi, Zhiyan will never avoid the enemy's edge and choose to protect himself first, but will try his best to fight with Mei Zhenyi to attack and defend against each other. This is a problem that you don't even have to think about.

Yingning was not allowed to enter Qingyi Sanshan again to accompany Mei Yingxing to heal her wounds. If someone else would not do so ruthlessly, Mei Yi has always been so ruthless in doing things, so it would be normal for him to deal with it like this. Mei Zhenyi didn't like Yingning at the beginning, and she might have seen through the character of this woman, and she is indeed not suitable for authentic couples.

Mei Yi, as the elder of the world, blocked the mountain road and expressed his attitude. Yingning had no choice but to turn around and leave. Her eyes were already red. She was blankly thinking about what she was thinking.

Mei Xiao did not follow the imperial edict of King Yong. When King Yong led his army to Guangling, he led his army north. However, one of them accepted the invitation of King Yong Li Lin, came down from Mount Lu, and chased the Yong Wang army along the Yangtze River. He was the famous Li Bai.

Li Bai once passed the imperial edict to Chang'an in the early years of Tianbao, and was in the Hanlin throne and drafted edicts. He was once very favored. But after two years, Li Bai was squeezed out of the capital, called "Give Jin Returning Mountain". Li Bai's ideal was to display the talent of the prime minister who could stabilize the country and safely, and he was not willing to be a scattered minister who could add brocade to his leisure literature, and Xuanzong used him just to use his literary talent. He did not intend to use him to govern the country.

Li Bai's life in Chang'an was getting more and more depressed, and he was inevitably complaining. He once wrote a poem like "The green flies are easy to relate, but the snow is difficult to resonate". He regarded himself as the snow is noble, and he also ridiculed the powerful people in the court to gather together for the green flies. After a long time, he would naturally be caught by villains and slandered him. It was not surprising that he was alienated by Xuanzong. When he left the capital, he left the famous line that passed down through the ages - there would be times when the wind and waves were long, and the clouds sailed across the sea.

But Li Bai is not a fake aloof, but a real aloof in his bones. He has written many poems throughout his life, dated many people, and wrote works of praying and recommendation among the people. For example, poems dedicated to Princess Yuzhen, and works of praise in the court, such as fu and edicts made in the Hanlin worship office. These can be regarded as his efforts and compromises to realize his ideals and ambitions.

To be fair, Li Bai still has real integrity as a literati, and it is not a false statement to despise the powerful. In the court, whether it is Gao Lishi who is in power in the palace or Li Linfu, if he wants to climb up from his official career, he must flatter these two people. However, Li Bai never did not stick to the people he dislikes because of his fame and fame, and did not pretend to be verbal. At the same time, Li Bai could also make real friends with the people in the market. He did not underestimate the other party's low status, such as Ji Sou in Wuzhou.

After Li Bai left Chang'an, he traveled all over the world and visited Wuzhou several times. Recently, he lived in seclusion on Mount Lu to practice Taoism. King Yong Li Lin sent an envoy Wei Zichun to visit his thatched cottage three times, inviting Li Bai to help him pacify the world, ignited Li Bai's ambitions that had been extinguished, and happily went down the mountain to follow Li Lin.

On the way along the river eastward, Li Bai also wrote a poem "The enemy in the north of the Three Rivers is as chaotic as hell, and the four seas are running south like Yongjia. But he used Xie Anshi in the East Mountain to talk and laugh for you and the quiet Husha."

He compared himself to Xie An of the Southern Dynasty, and Qi Yi was strategizing in the big tent and slapping the rebels through chatting and laughing. In Li Bai's eyes, King Yong was a person who could truly appreciate his talent, just like Liu Bei who visited the cottage and invited Zhuge out of the mountain. Follow King Yong to show his ambition to pacify the world, survive the wind and waves, and hang the cloud sails straight. Finally, the opportunity to wait.

At that time, King Yong had passed Jinling, and Li Bai was chasing him along the river. At noon that day, he happened to pass north of Wuzhou. He recited a poem in the ship warehouse. When he recited the sentence "Talking and laughing for you, calming the Husha", someone suddenly asked the bow of the ship: "Mr. Taibai, it's been a long time since I saw you, why are you so happy and excited?"

Li Bai was shocked and stood up quickly. How could a stranger suddenly speak in the middle of the river? The boatman who was driving the boat didn't notice it at all. It seemed that he was a master of cultivation. As soon as he got up, he saw Mei Yi holding a jar of old spring wine and picking up the curtain. He nodded and smiled: "Mr. Taibai passed by, and someone from Mei specially sent wine on the boat. He came uninvited, so don't blame him for disturbing me."

Li Bai knew Mei Yi and had made friends when he was traveling in Wuzhou in his early years. He was good at swordsmanship and also performed swordsmanship together. When it comes to the power of murderous aura, Li Bai could not compare with Mei Yi, but Mei Yi also praised Li Bai very much in his discussion of the exquisite swordsmanship.

When Li Bai was proud, he saw that his old friend suddenly appeared and brought good wine with him. He was naturally very happy and asked Mei Yi to sit down and drink.

Of course Mei Yi would not appear for no reason. He came to dissuade Li Bai from following King Yong. He didn't say much at the beginning, but just talked about the past while drinking. When the wine was almost done, Mei Yi suddenly asked: "I just heard the Mr.'s poem, and compared to Xie Anshi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Does Mr. really think he has a generation of famous ministers and civil and military talents?"

Li Bai was stunned for a moment. He didn't want to brag about it and said there was, but he didn't want to say there was no. He had to ask back: "What do the general think?"

Mei Yi shook his head and said, "I don't know Xie An, but I followed my lord Mei Xiaolang for many years. Therefore, the lord Nanlu master was both civil and military, and he made great contributions to the country for several dynasties. If you are good at writing and swordsmanship, the lord is far inferior to Mr. Taibai. However, in terms of governing the country and maintaining national security, in comparison, he is not the director of the teacher."

Mei Yi speaks very directly. He has never been the prime minister, but has been with the prime minister for many years. He knows what kind of person Mei Xiaolang is, what things have he experienced, what talents and means. Compared with Mei Xiaolang, it can be seen that Li Bai is indeed not the material, so why do he have to pursue such an ideal?

These words almost choked Li Bai. He brought the glass to drink without saying anything. Mei Yi said again: "The old emperor used the sir to worship Hanlin, not to be the sir to the position of the sir. He may be dissatisfied and thought he was not satisfied, but in my opinion there is no regret. His poems and essays are famous all over the world, and they are examples of Hanlin throughout the ages, not the work of the prime minister.... He is a practitioner of Taoism and should know the saying of "fitting ambition."

These sentences are more interesting. For example, in modern society, a person who does a good job in knowledge can concentrate on his studies. If he makes great contributions, he can also be selected as an academician, and be respected and enjoys his due treatment and status. However, there is no need to be promoted to an administrative leader, a minister, or a secretary. If his major is not right or he does not have such talent, it is even more unnecessary.

Li Longji may have been wrong to use Li Linfu as prime minister, but it is not wrong to entrust Li Bai as a Hanlin scholar to be considered as a test of talent. With Li Bai's fame and talent, he was excluded from the officialdom in that environment and was given gold. This also shows a problem from the side - he does not understand the way of being an official. Jianghu also emphasizes both "sharp" and "internal". The civil and military achievements cannot be realized out of thin air by ideals or hopes. They require very realistic official means to operate step by step, and Li Bai is unwilling to do it.

These words were very unpleasant, but with Mei Yi's temperament, what he said was tactful enough. Li Bai held the cup for a long time and asked after a long time: "Is the general appearing in the boat? Do you want to persuade me not to be invited by King Yong?"
