"Since the death of our late master Gui Gu, his disciples have compiled his master's theories and strategies over the years into books for future generations to study. But what no one expected was that his master was a genius and had learned so much. No one in the world can match him. Especially in the three aspects of divine calculation, strategizing and martial arts, he is unparalleled in the world. Although his disciples are extremely intelligent, they still have a headache when faced with the rich legacy of their master. With no other choice, the disciples had no choice but to divide the master's life work into three parts, which were passed down by the three most outstanding disciples respectively. This is the origin of the Guigu Guitian lineage, the Shenji lineage and the Yingwu lineage." Pang Ye explained in detail. His voice was clear and clear, without a trace of emotion, but everyone was still excited when they listened, and they were helplessly immersed in the memories of Guigu's ancestors.
"When selecting talents and teaching skills, the disciples of the late master took one thing into consideration. Although their talents were not enough to comprehend the various works of the late master, there will always be people in the world who can do it. Therefore, when teaching skills to the disciples, At that time, all the works of the ancestors were gathered together and kept by the eldest of the three lineages, Guitian. However, the disciples of the third lineage, due to the emphasis on being in the world by Shenji and Yingwu, would not have much energy to teach disciples. .So the disciples under the sect stipulated that the successors of the Three Lineages must study together before leaving the mountain. This is not only for the convenience of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, but also to allow them to have better access to these works. Maybe some of these successors Disciples can integrate the works of their ancestors. But in the past thousand years, except for the famous figure Wolong from ancient times, no one has been able to integrate the teachings of his ancestors. Even those who have learned the two schools of thought well are rare."
While Pang Ye was reminiscing, Xue Sha interjected and asked: "Uncle Master, you said that the descendants of the three lineages must grow up together, but I have never been here since I followed the master. Then why did the master accept me? As a disciple?"
"It is true that you are a disciple of Senior Brother Yingwu, but strictly speaking, you are not his successor. His real successor should be the young man who was standing next to Danbo just now, Emperor Ci. Our Guigu lineage is divided into three branches. , the heirs of both of us were directly selected by the masters, and then the masters taught the skills uniformly. Of course, the masters were not all proficient in them. He just gave the works of our two schools and the research experience of the predecessors to the disciples respectively. Disciples let them study by themselves. Just like my disciple Xuanji, strictly speaking, I am not his master. It is just because he inherited the teachings of my school that he respectfully calls me master, and senior brother is his real Master, I think the reason why Brother Yingwu accepted you as his disciple is because you have excellent qualifications and are a man of great talent." Pang Ye said slowly. Haotian and others nodded knowingly, like this The method has indeed brought the inheritance spirit of Guigu lineage to the extreme. The person who can formulate such regulations under Guigu seems to be extraordinary.
"We are the three branches of Guigu, and the Guitian lineage is good at observing the stars and deducing the heaven and earth. Just like the senior brother, his skill of peeping into the sky has reached its peak. But this kind of miscalculation of the heavens is the most life-threatening, so the descendants of the Guitian lineage They have always been physically weak. In addition, the Guitian lineage also has an extremely important task, which is to watch the inheritance. All the works of the Guigu lineage are kept by them, so they must work hard to find someone who can inherit these doctrines. People. The Yingwu lineage is not only highly skilled in martial arts but also good at the art of war. Their ancestor Zeng Yun said: If the heavens are unjust, I will kill them; if the gods fall, I will kill the gods; if they are for the common people, they must act righteously. Therefore, the mission of the Yingwu lineage is When the country is in a state of injustice, it changes the fate of the world. The mission of the Shenji line is to strategize and help the world and save the people. Scholars assist the emperor. The greatest revenge of this line is to assist the wise emperor and create a prosperous era. But I am incompetent, not only Instead of benefiting the common people, I will bring ruin to all the people in the world. I am so ashamed of my master." Pang Ye said with some sadness.
"The Imperial Preceptor does not need to blame himself. The shortcomings of our dynasty have been going on for a long time. Since the late emperor ascended the throne, the government has been almost in ruins. If the Imperial Preceptor and others had not tried their best to support it, the empire would not have been able to sustain it to this day." Xiang Xing said quickly. He
This is true. In the 20 years since Shenzong was in power, the government has been in ruins for 20 years. Moreover, due to the obstruction of treacherous ministers, Shenzong is even more extravagant and lustful. He is a typical person who will be flooded even after my death. If
If it weren't for the conscientiousness of Pang Ye and others, we still don't know whether the Qingfeng Empire would have been destroyed by now. Even so, under the pressure of the three major aristocratic families and the treacherous ministers, the government was still in chaos.
"Well, I told you when you came out of the mountain that the emperor you want to assist is not a wise king. If you follow him, there will be no results at all except hard work. It's a pity that you just don't listen." Old Man Tianji
He said with his eyes closed.
"That's not necessarily the case! If Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother could go out together with me, the world might not be like this." Pang Ye said unconvinced. He had originally invited the two of them to go out together, but neither of them agreed. Thinking of this,
Now that the imperial court is full of ills, Pang Ye naturally feels a little uncomfortable.
"Junior brother, everything in this world has its destiny. It is impossible to reverse the general trend of the world by oneself, unless the master is resurrected. Your mission is to save the world and save the people, so if you become an official in the court, I will not stop you. My mission is
Watching the inheritance, so I must stay here for the rest of my life. And Junior Brother Yingwu’s mission is to defy heaven and kill the gods. Now that the court is corrupt, as a member of the Yingwu lineage, what he should do is to travel around the world to overthrow a decadent dynasty.
He strives to rebuild an empire that brings prosperity to the people and the nation. But he has never done so because he still has a junior brother like you serving as an official. Isn’t this enough? The heads of the three major families are all cunning and cunning people.
In addition to An Yongchang, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, no one is as shrewd as you. If nothing else, let’s just say that the Northern Expedition Army was defeated this time. With your wisdom, you did not see through their conspiracy before that. Even if
Even if we help you together, it's just a joke." The old man said slowly, and Pang Ye's face became extremely ugly.
"I just didn't expect them to be so cruel. There are 300,000 elite soldiers and 8 million people in Hetao!" Pang Ye said with a sad face.
"National Master, what do you mean by this? Is there another secret behind our disastrous defeat?" Xiang Xing keenly caught the loophole in Pang Ye's words and asked. From the beginning, he felt that this battle was lost.
I don't know why, but now that I heard Pang Ye say it, I naturally became more suspicious.
"General, don't you think it's strange that we lost this battle? The empire's 600,000-strong army marched north, led by the empire's famous marshal Dingbei Marquis Zhang Mingjing, and the scouts outside the camp were jointly arranged by me and Zhang Shuai.
However, Kipchak Khan's 150,000-strong army was able to cross the river overnight, bypass our army's layers of reconnaissance cavalry, and attack our army at night, and succeeded in one fell swoop. Our army was not aware of such a big movement. You
Is this possible? If he leads a small force of only a thousand people, then it is still possible. But this is an army of 150,000 people, and they are the most elite armored archers in Rouran. If the night attack fails,
Rouran will definitely fail to recover. Our army has a total of 600,000 people, including 100,000 Xuanwu Legion soldiers who are best at defensive operations. Why does he think that he can succeed in one fell swoop? And the most bizarre thing is that when the night attack occurred,
, the White Ear Army, the Red Eyebrow Army and the Yellow Turban Army retreated to the Yinfeng Mountains without hesitation, while the Qinglong Xuanwu and ### Army were completely wiped out. Do you think there was any problem during this?" This statement was
Pang Ye had been holding this thought in his mind for a long time. It was a rare opportunity, so he naturally let it out.
"National Master, do you mean that this is a trap set by the three great families?" Haotian was the first to react and asked bitterly.
"However, this Northern Expedition was originally a conspiracy of the three major families." Pang Ye nodded and said.
"How is this possible? If this is really the case, then what are they doing? Is it just to destroy the 300,000 troops?" Xiang Xing said in disbelief.
"General Hao, why don't you explain it to the general?" Pang Ye sighed and said. Although Xiang Xing is good at fighting, he doesn't know much about these conspiracies. On the contrary, this Haotian is actually very good at it.
through.
"General, please listen to the explanation of the last general. The general has lived in the military for a long time, and I think he is very familiar with the terrain of our Qingfeng. Our Qingfeng land can be roughly divided into six northern roads, namely the five roads of Hebei and the Hetao Road, the between rivers and the south of the river. The empire
The legions directly controlled by the royal family include the Northern Legion and the Xuanwu Legion stationed on the Northeast Great Wall defense line; the Western Legion and ### Corps stationed on the northwest Great Wall defense line; the Qinglong Legion stationed on Yangzhou Road; the Eastern Legion stationed on Yuzhou Road; and the Southern Legion stationed along the Xijiang River in the south.
and the Suzaku Legion, as well as the Dragon Cavalry Legion and the Guards Legion of Tiandu Shengjing. The three major families directly control the Yellow Turban Legion of the Zhang Family on Huaishui Road, the Red Eyebrow Legion of the Li Family on Qinchuan Road, and the White Eyebrow Legion of the Song Family on Yizhou Road.
The Ear Army Corps. Last year, the foreign tribes outside the Great Wall invaded the south. The Western Army and the Northern Army were completely annihilated.
The first legion, Dongbo constantly harassed our East China Sea coastline, and restrained the strength of the Qinglong Legion. Therefore, excluding the necessary defensive forces, the only mobile force the empire can use is the Xuanwu Dongfang and ### legions of 300,000 people. In this way
Although their troops could not regain the fifth Hebei route, they were more than enough to consolidate the defense line along the river. The 300,000 troops gathered near Tiandu Shengjing were a huge pressure on the three major families. The three major families originally
Although the empire has weakened in recent decades, the power of the tiger still exists. The Chinese Imperial Master and the Minister of War are all loyal and strategic ministers. In the army, Duke Jingnan, the Marquis of the North
They are also famous generals of the generation. Although the three major families have been in business for hundreds of years, they still dare not break their faces. However, this alien invasion gave them a huge opportunity. The two legions were completely wiped out, and the Xuanwu ### legion suffered no losses.
Xiao, all five Hebei provinces have fallen. In order to restore its prestige, the imperial court will definitely raise its troops to march north. And if the empire marches north, the number of troops living in the hinterland of the empire will definitely decrease, and the opportunity for the three major families will also come." Haotian is very meticulous.
He said, he just figured out a rough idea, but after careful analysis, Haotian actually figured out the key.
"What good will it do them if the three legions of the empire are completely wiped out?" Xiang Xing understood a little, but still said unconvinced.
"Actually, regardless of victory or defeat in this battle, it will be beneficial to the three great families. If the Northern Expedition wins, the empire will definitely take advantage of the momentum to regain the Fifth Road of Hebei. Although the three great families will not gain any obvious benefits, in order to regain their homeland, the three great families will
The big family spends money and sends troops, and such a good reputation cannot be escaped no matter what. Moreover, the court forces and civil forces in Hebei Fifth Road have basically been wiped out by the aliens outside the Great Wall. After the recovery of their homeland, they just installed their own
If the Northern Expeditionary Army is defeated, then they will add insult to injury. These three legions are already the last mobile force of the imperial court. If they are completely annihilated, the imperial court will no longer have any power to suppress their ambitions. General, you think, the aliens outside the Great Wall
If you want to go south to herd horses, you must either go east from the dangerous Blood Plateau via Yizhou Road in the west, or pass through Yinfeng Castle or Jianmen Xiongguan from Hetao, or cross the river from the east. The altitude in the west is too high, and
There are also the bloody clan who have always been loyal to the empire. Their elite cavalry cannot be matched even by the armored archers of the foreign races outside the Great Wall; the middle road is as majestic as iron, and there are elite private soldiers of the Song and Li families; the eastern front is surrounded by large rivers and natural dangers, and there are also
There is the Empire's Dragon Legion. So even if the Empire is defeated, as long as they can keep the integrity of these three fronts, the aliens outside the Great Wall can only roam in the north. As for the three elite legions of the Empire, what they hope more is to let them and
If two different races fight against each other, both sides will suffer, right?"
"Are you saying that the three major aristocratic families have colluded with the foreign races outside the Great Wall?" Xiang Xing's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, and his body exuded a strong murderous aura that only those who narrowly escaped death on the battlefield could possess. His hands
He also became a little pale because of too much exertion. In that battle, countless of his comrades and subordinates shed blood on the battlefield, and he himself became a prisoner. Therefore, he had an unforgettable hatred for the aliens outside the Great Wall. And now he heard three people
The wealthy family actually colluded with them, how could he not be angry?
Pang Ye shook his head and interjected: "It's not a collusion, but a temporary initiative. At least before the Great Wall defense line was breached last year, they should have been incompatible. Those who steal hooks will be punished, and those who steal the country will be punished by the princes. After all, we still underestimate it.
Their courage was revealed. They should have deliberately leaked the news to the aliens outside the Great Wall during this battle, so that they could successfully sneak attack under our strict reconnaissance cavalry. When the war started, the legions directly under the three major families had already begun to attack.
Withdrew, they retreated all the way to the Yinfeng Mountains and then stopped their position. Huh, Li Tiezhan also said that he received a false order and then led the remaining defeated soldiers to retreat. If it was really the remaining defeated soldiers, then why were there only three of them?
People ran out, but the empire's long-time battle-hardened Dongfang Xuanwu ### regiment was completely wiped out? Think about it carefully, why did the six tribes beyond the Great Wall not continue to go south after defeating our empire's Northern Expeditionary Army? Is it true?
Is it because the weather has turned colder, or is it because the three major families have already had back-ups and quietly held them back. Otherwise, given the nature of the Hulu outside the Great Wall, how would they have left tens of thousands of people in Dingzhou each?
