Chapter 169: Enduring the vicissitudes of life

There are some regrets in life that no one can erase.

No matter how magnificent you are, you are unrivaled in the world, and you have the highest authority in the world.

It's also useless.

For example, the emperor Qi also had the sorrow of loving his concubine, and the regret of abandoning Jiang Wu.

How could Jiang Wang forget the streets, alleys, neighbors and classmates of Maplewood City?

How could he want to miss Jiang Anan's growth?

Just because I "didn't want to", it eventually happened, so it became a regret.

Jiang Wang had a bowl with him, and he drank so much that his energy surged and he was stirred by heat.

After drinking, the whole world was filled with thunder and wind, and the pride in my chest rose.

"In that case, this wine might as well bring righteousness to the world!" He was feeling drunk, and he felt a little careless...

Gu Shiyi was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "The right way in the world!"

He picked up the wine jar and poured wine again, and said to Jiang Wang: "Come, let's have another bowl of this righteous way in the world!"

The smell of wine comes back again and again, entwining layers and layers of fragrance.

The alcohol worm in the abdomen has awakened, and the greedy person is scratching his heart and lungs.

Every part of the body seems to be waiting for the water of good wine.

But Jiang Wang reached out to hold his wine bowl, shook his head and said, "I can't drink anymore."

Gu Shiyi put down the wine jar and looked at him: "Is the wine bad?"

"The wine is so good! I wasn't addicted to alcohol, but now I have the alcohol bug scratching me and I'm so greedy!"

"Is this a bad person from a certain family?"

"Brother Gu has unparalleled cultivation and is famous all over the world. He is also so casual and approachable. How can it be bad?"

"Then why did you refuse this bowl of wine?" Gu Shiyi asked.

"Enough is enough." Jiang Wang met Gu Shiyi's scrutinizing eyes and said seriously: "The more addictive something is to me, the more I have to restrain myself and the more I have to keep a distance."

"I just told you that you are happy, but you are so unhappy!" Gu Shiyi said: "You can't indulge yourself when you are young. Do you have to wait until you are old to cherish your memory?"

Jiang Wang just said: "I have to walk a long way, so I won't stay on the road for too long."

His eyes were filled with wine, his face was flushed with wine, and his voice was somewhat erratic, but his expression was calm.

This is who he is at all times.

Gu Shiyi looked at him silently for a while.

Jiang Wang also sat there quietly. He looked like an ordinary drunkard who was about to fall down at any time. But he was still calm and anything but ordinary.

"You have convinced a certain family." Gu Shiyi pushed the wine bowl: "Then I won't drink it!"

The wine swayed out of the wine bowl and spilled on the table, like broken jade. There was a heartbreaking regret.

Jiang Wang said apologetically: "I hope one day I can stop and have a drink with Brother Gu."

Gu Shiyi paused for a while and said, "Do you know who was drinking with a certain family here before?"

Jiang Wang shook his head.

"Are you curious?" Gu Shiyi asked.

Jiang Wang asked, "Should I be curious?"

"You are very cunning!" Gu Shiyi said.

Jiang Wangdao: "I'm just doing my duty."

Gu Shiyi laughed again.

He is really a drunkard, no different from those drunkards in the market, his mood changes very quickly.

He sighed: "That's a person who used to drink and have fun with me."

"It seems that won't happen now," Jiang Wang said.

"People always change!" Gu Shiyi said.

After a pause, he added: "Or maybe, as you said, a person who has a long way to go should not stay in one place for too long!"

Jiang Wangdao: "Brother Gu himself must know Brother Gu's friends better."

"That person is not my friend!" Gu Shiyi said.

But he added: "Maybe."

He was very conflicted in his heart and his emotions were very contradictory.

Could it be that the real person in this world controls the principles of Tao and has insight into the true existence of the world? It is said that even if the end of the world comes, he will not easily shake his will, but he seems so different.

So complicated.

Maybe this is also a kind of "truth".

This person has quite a story. Jiang Wang thought to himself.

But he just said: "A person who keeps moving forward will always leave something behind. It may be intentional or unintentional at the time. But in hindsight, it should be considered intentional."

"Are you sad about this?" Gu Shiyi's eyelids drooped slightly.

"It is inevitable that there will be regrets." Jiang Wang said, "But I still have to move forward."

"No one will stop and wait for you. Everyone has their own story to tell." Gu Shiyi said.

"This is a pity." Jiang Wang said, "Sometimes you have no choice."

"You are so young, how can you have so many emotions!" Gu Shiyi's voice became arrogant: "You are very tacky now!"

Jiang Wangdao: "These are all stories I read in books. Maybe I was drunk and talking nonsense. Brother Gu, don't blame me."

"The speaker is not guilty, but the drinker is justified!" Gu Shiyi took a breath of alcohol and probably didn't want to continue this topic, so he changed the question: "Brother Jiang, what do you think of the word 'righteousness'?"

"There are great and small righteousnesses. There is the righteousness of holding a sword as a friend, there is the righteousness of repaying kindness and hatred, there is the righteousness of punishing evil and promoting good, there is the righteousness of family and country, there is the righteousness of ethnic group, there is the righteousness of the world." Jiang Wangdao: "This sage

I can't comment on that."

Gu Shiyi tapped him with his hand, as if to say that he was cunning, but in the end he did not say so. Instead, he looked at him with drunken eyes: "What righteousness do you have? Is Jiang Qingyang a righteous man?"

Jiang Wang shook his head: "I am not a righteous man. There was justice before me, but I could not uphold it. There was anger in my heart, and I could not draw my sword. There was a conflict of interests, and I used my sword to kill people."

He repeated: "I am not a righteous man."

Gu Shiyi said sincerely: "Sometimes you need to restrain yourself, and sometimes you can only choose a less bad choice among bad choices, because you have a more important life, and God has given you a unique mission."

Jiang Wangdao: "I don't think I am such a special person. My shortcomings and advantages all make me who I am."

He thought, my life depends on my own choice, and my mission is not given by any existence.

But Gu Shiyi just waved his hand: "If you don't drink anymore, there's no point in staying here. Let's go!"

Jiang Wang didn't say much, he just said take care.

He stood up and walked away like a drunken man on the clouds.

Coming and going is nothing more than a few bowls of wine.

This body is drifting like a cloud.

There are few human traces in the barren mountains.

I don’t know who built this pavilion on the top of the mountain.

In fact, it has fallen into quite a state of decline. The red paint is peeling off and the rotten wood is visible.

Gu Shiyi sat there alone, looking at the leftovers as if facing his regretful life, so he opened another jar of wine.

Vicissitudes of wine, vicissitudes of wine.

Assigned to the vicissitudes of life, the work will be done.

"A young man who cannot fully enjoy himself or fulfill his purpose is indeed not a righteous man."

He sighed: "But he is a sincere person and a trustworthy person."





The State of Zhao was famous for its subservience to the State of Qi.

The government and the public in this country admire Qi Feng very much. The first-class talents in Zhao State are proud to serve in Qi State. Only those who cannot go to Qi State will stay in Zhao State.

In fact, the entire Eastern Region is like this, not just Zhao Kingdom?

It is precisely because Qi State recruits talented people from all over the world that Qi State is prosperous today.

It’s just that Zhao Guo was a bit more obvious...

People in other places have to say something like "a good bird chooses a tree to roost in", "there is a place where you can stay if you don't want to stay here" and so on.

The people of Zhao State directly and openly regarded being an official in Qi as their ideal and becoming a Qi person as their goal in life.

This is by no means a shabby thing in Zhao State.

Even the leader of Zhao State himself wrote many times and persistently requested to be incorporated into the territory of Qi State.

In the letter of credence delivered to Qi State, the leader of Zhao State called himself Zhaohou and did not dare to call himself king. He expressed his willingness to give up his dragon robe and become a hereditary marquis of the Qi Empire. He was willing to cultivate hundreds of acres of land for the Emperor of Qi and make

Emperor Qi eats his own vegetables... he burst into tears when he wrote the book...

Emperor Qi refused on the grounds that the old Yang ancestral temple should not be abandoned.

Some time ago, the Ping Dynasty revealed that one of their three top leaders was called "King Zhao".

The leader of the State of Zhao was so frightened that he wrote to Emperor Qi all night, confessing his innocence. He asked Qi Ting to send someone to Zhao State to investigate and verify his innocence, and to clear his name. He also urgently summoned the ministers to discuss changing the name of the country immediately to avoid unreasonable disaster.

Finally, Emperor Qi wrote a special letter to appease him, saying that "Zhao" is a name of honor, and the old Yang Zhengshuo should not be abandoned lightly. Also, how could the dragon and the tiger change their paths for the snake and the rat?

Only in this way can the storm be calmed down.

Jiang Wang once lived as a hermit in this country. Just because he spoke with a Linzi accent, he received very warm hospitality from the store.

Now when you cross the border, there won't be any accidents.

Except for the drunkenness, except for the misty clouds, there is nothing to say.

All the way high in the sky there were glimpses, and occasionally there was the sound of thunder.

Some ordinary people accidentally saw it and thought of it as an immortal.





After passing Yangdi without entering Qingyang Town, Jiang Wang went straight to Qidu.

When the three hundred miles of Linzi City appeared in sight, he suddenly felt a sense of dependence.

His title, his name, his official position and his connections are all closely related to this great city.

It was certainly a choice that I did not regret when I left my important position as Captain of Bei Yamen.

His experience in Chu State in the mountains and seas was also exciting enough. He did not lead anything, but he witnessed a wonderful chapter.

This time he returned after traveling around the world. When he saw Linzi City, he truly realized that he had struggled here for too long and experienced too much. He had established a deep bond with this city.

Living in Linzi is not easy.

And he, Jiang Qingyang, seemed to be from this place.





A letter was sent to the Military Hall asking for the expedition to Xia, and the emperor approved it.

The entire Qi State has been mobilized, including Dao Yuan Stone, food and grass, intelligence, negotiations with other countries along the way...there are so many things involved.

But once the determination to fight is lost, it is difficult for the flood to change its course.

Overnight, swords and guns came out of the warehouse, and the soldiers were like a forest.

But before leaving for summer, there is still one most important question -

Who should be the commander-in-chief of the three armies in this battle against Xia?

Qi's hegemony was new, and it was the last country among the six hegemonic countries to achieve hegemony.

Many famous generals in the world who have proven themselves in previous wars are still in the army. There are not a few who are qualified to lead large armies.

However, the Xia Kingdom has its special significance after all, and its power should not be ignored.

Back then, Qi and Xia were fighting for hegemony. Today, the Emperor of Qi is driving his troops to conquer personally. What is Chongxuan Yunbo, Chongxuan Chu Liang, Chongxuan Mingshan, Chongxuan Minghe... What is Yan Ping, what is Jiang Mengxiong, what is Yan Tu, what is Yang Jiande, what is Tian Xili

...all in the formation.

Gathering generals and ants, ants gathered their talents, raised the army of the whole country, and crippled the Xia Kingdom, which at that time spanned the two regions in the southeast.

Since the war in the 38th year of Yuanfeng's reign to quell the Loulan Gong rebellion in Ming Dynasty, Emperor Qi never wore armor in person again.

Of course, the current Xia Kingdom is no longer worthy of the Emperor Qi's personal campaign.

Ordinarily, since the Emperor of Qi is not out, the coach of Faxia should not think of anyone other than Jiang Mengxiong, the God of the Qi Army.

The Grand Marshal of Zhenguo did indeed write a letter asking for war.

Needless to say, Jiang Mengxiong's honor and ability are unparalleled. He has invincible extraordinary power and uses troops like a god. He is the well-deserved number one in the army.

But at the same time, there were three other people who asked for a fight.

These three people all have extraordinary weight.

One is Cao Jie, the commander of the Spring Death Army, the other is Chu Liang, the new real person and fierce butcher Zhongxuan, and the other is Xiu Yuan, the commander of the Prisoner of Lightning Army.

These three people are also talented enough to command an army of millions. They are in charge of the most elite nine-soldier force in the Qi Empire, and their military skills are beyond doubt.

Cultivation is not a problem. If they were to take charge of the army, Qi Ting would naturally send another strong person from the Yan Dao to suppress the army.

Therefore, the choice of coach of Faxia is actually still up for grabs.

Among them, Cao Jiu was the most stable in using troops, and was what Emperor Qi called "the best warrior in the world." No matter how many troops were given to him, there was basically no possibility of problems, and of course it was difficult to see a quick victory.

There are always voices that think he can only fight stupidly and stupidly.

However, under the guise of Wanyan Xionglue's identity, he killed Qi Hong, a famous general of the Sheng Kingdom, and helped the Mu Kingdom capture Liyuan City, which also showed the versatility of his military style.

He is truly an all-around handsome man who can compete with the God of War just by using his troops.

Chu Liang, the fierce massacrer who had conquered Xia for the first time that year, was very familiar with the situation in Xia. This factor was very crucial in the competition for the head coach of Xia.

And although he is not as versatile as Cao Jiu, nor is he "the best in the world in terms of military use" than Jiang Mengxiong, his military sharpness is unique and difficult to match in the world.

In this kind of war to destroy a country, he can win the situation as quickly as possible. For example, the battle to destroy Yang that made him a marquis was almost devastating. He defeated the resistance of Yang Kingdom in the shortest time and did not give Yang to the last emperor of Yang Kingdom.

If Jiande has a chance, he will be killed in the midst of thousands of troops.

He was promoted to Dongzhen with the strength of the number one god in the Eastern Region. In the first battle to prove Dongzhen, he pointed his sword at the first elder of Diaohailou, Chongguang Zhenren.

Regardless of momentum, intention, or strength, he is at the peak of his life. Use him at this time, and your military will be at its peak.

And Xiuyuan...

His close friend Yan Tu, the commander of the Zhan Yu Army, was confirmed to be a spy for the Ping Dynasty last year and died after being hacked to pieces. He himself also spent time in prison.

Now we need a war to prove ourselves.

Of course, everyone knows that he is just showing his attitude and coming to run with him. It is impossible for him to prove himself in such a big event as the summer expedition.

Although Xiu Yuan was also a world-famous general who emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, he wanted to prove his mentality, so he first excluded him from the head coach list.

Today, Emperor Qi is a man of military knowledge, so he only asked these four people to submit a military strategy each, stating that he would only use military strategy to determine the commander-in-chief——

For a time, there was a turmoil. From the officials in the court to the traders and soldiers, they were debating on the candidate for the commander-in-chief of the expedition to Xia.

One said that the military god was invincible, and the other said that Cao Cao was undefeated. Some people said that Xiu Tu became famous because he broke the Xia Dynasty, and it was time to end the Xia Kingdom with Xiu Yuan. Some people said that Xiu Yuan fought in his life and defeated the strong with the weak many times, which is the real victory.

Everyone in the art of war should have such an occasion to display it.

But no one said that this battle could not be fought or that the expedition against Xia could not be won.

So the Prime Minister Jiang Rumo said -

"The human heart is available."





Ps: "The country is unlucky and the poets are lucky, and they can work after the vicissitudes of life" is a sentence written by Zhao Yi in the Qing Dynasty. He also has a more famous poem, "There are talented people from generation to generation, and each has led the way for hundreds of years."
