Chapter 563 Times have changed...but not completely
After speaking nonsense, Shui Ren looked at the great elder with extremely arrogant eyes.
He did not hide that he was here to show off his power today.
Seventy-eight years have passed since the fall of Bashu. Shuren, who has just arrived in Buhuo today, does not know the glory of Shushan before. He only knows that among the largest and most famous schools of thought in Qin, Shushan does not have a place in Shushan.
But the withered bones in his family's grave kept talking about Shushan for days and days. Even his son Zhai Li was aroused and wanted to come over and become his disciple.
What I never expected was that Shushan, a man from a poor family, dared to screen out his son without giving him any face.
How awesome is this?!
As a powerful clan in Shu, the Shui clan was also the monarch of a feudal state in the Zhou Dynasty. Now, assisting the Qin State in managing Shu counties, they are like a local emperor.
How dare Shushan not give him face!
Shu Ren has long wanted to give his son a break.
But he is the leader of the clan after all, and he is not so brainless as to bring people up to cause trouble. After enduring it for so long, he finally got a chance!
The Qin army requisitioned civilians everywhere, which led to the gradual rise of chaos in Bashu. Shui was originally responsible for assisting and appeasing the people, but when reporting the situation, Shui Ren specifically highlighted Shushan's role in it.
It is said that those who fled because they did not want to be conscripted went to the foot of Shushan. The words seemed to indicate that Shushan was dissatisfied with the Qin State and was actively inciting people to flee.
After the Qin State annexed Bashu, it was already dissatisfied with Shushan and other holy places that had once been above the royal power. Now it was naturally aroused to be sensitive. In addition, the war was urgent and there was no time to make a detailed analysis, so they took advantage of the situation.
This matter was left to the local snake Shui Ren to handle.
The original words of Qin Army General Yang Duanhe were: "No matter what method you use, as long as it can guarantee the logistics of the army, then go ahead and do it!"
After receiving this order, Shu Ren was as if he had grasped Shang Fang's sword. He excitedly took Yang Duan and the one hundred Qin soldiers assigned to him and headed straight to Shu Mountain.
Not only that, he also specially brought his youngest son with him.
This time, he just wanted to tell Du Li by words and deeds. No matter how much Shushan boasted, even if he put aside the truth and falsehood, it was still a long time ago.
Times have changed now, and there is no way out by following Shushan.
While waiting for the elder's answer, Shu Ren thought to himself, I heard that the most famous sect in the Qin State is the Yin Yang Family, maybe you can let your son go there and give it a try...
Just when he was thinking about the future and planning a bright future for his son, the great elder of Shushan did not give in as he expected.
No, the great elder didn't even pay attention to him. Instead, he sat on the main seat facing the door. The person who spoke was a young man who was following the old guy.
"Shuiren, right?"
Chi Yao twitched the corners of his mouth with a disdainful smile, and responded with an even more arrogant attitude than Shuren, "We have heard your request. Now, go back and wait for the news."
"What?!"
Shui Ren couldn't believe his ears, "Who are you? Can you make decisions on behalf of the great elder? I am here on behalf of Yang Duan and the general, you..."
Shushan's attitude this time was so tough that he couldn't believe it.
Shui Ren is not an impulsive person. Since he came here, he naturally did some investigation.
After collecting all kinds of intelligence, he was convinced that what Shushan was pursuing now was the idea of appeasement, which to put it nicely is called "taking a step back to broaden the horizons", so he dared to pull the Qin army's tiger skin to show off its power.
It was just that Shushan was sure that he would not dare to fall out with the Qin army, so naturally he would not dare to fall out with him as the envoy.
But I never expected that Shushan would not follow the routine!
After questioning Chi Yao, he simply ignored him, turned to look at the Great Elder who was sitting leisurely aside, and said quickly: "First Elder, this is the order personally given by General Yang Duan and General. If there is any delay,
Shushan may not be able to bear this crime if the army's logistics are compromised!"
However, in accordance with the previous agreement with Chi Yao, the Great Elder did not react to Shu Ren, who sounded threatening and stern.
Chi Yao, on the other hand, looked at the furious Shu Ren, and the smile on his face widened a little: "If Shushan can't bear this crime, I won't worry about it as the head of the tax family. You'd better think more about it, whether the Shu family can bear it."
Take responsibility for this."
"What do you mean?"
Seeing that the great elder ignored him, Shui Ren had no choice but to turn back to Chi Yao. However, if he still maintained a superficial respect for the great elder, then when facing Chi Yao, he didn't even bother to pretend.
, directly scolded and threatened:
"This is because you are not cooperating with me! There are still hundreds of tiger guards I brought with me at the foot of the mountain. If you insist on being stubborn, don't blame me for not remembering the old relationship!"
"Hundred Cavalry Tiger Guards?"
Chi Yao curled his lips and said, "It's so scary. Is this a bloodbath in Shushan?"
Shui Ren didn't understand his sarcasm, and thought it was because the boy was finally afraid, so he said arrogantly: "Huh, now you know you are afraid? Then cooperate with me, otherwise I will let you know what regret is!"
"
"hehe……"
He sneered at Shuren's threat. Let alone a hundred cavalry, even an elite soldier of ten thousand cavalry would be a joke to threaten Shushan.
Is it possible that Shushan disciples will take the initiative to go to the plains to form an array and play hedging with them?
Let’s ride the horse up the mountain first and then talk about it!
Even in modern times thousands of years later, if a master escapes through the woods, the country will not be able to do anything.
Not to mention that in this era where the development of mountainous areas is almost non-existent and there are no satellites, the Shushan disciples burrowed into the mountains and forests, and the Qin State was exhausted and couldn't find them.
If that doesn't work, they can retreat to South Vietnam, which is a place that even the 500,000 Qin soldiers could not really capture.
Isn’t it just a confrontation? Who is afraid of whom?
People who have a way out are stubborn. Chi Yao is too lazy to continue talking to a useless person like Shu Ren. Since he knows that the Qin army has also sent people, it is better to go directly to the real owner.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He immediately left with a puff of his sleeves, like a big bird with spread wings, leaping down from the mountainside, relying on the dense canopy of trees and rocks, towards
The Qin cavalry flew away from the foot of the mountain where they were stationed.
"Huh? Why did you leave?"
Shu Ren was a little confused by Chi Yao, "Why on earth are the regulations not explained clearly yet? Great Elder, Great Elder, please speak up!"
…
…
Yang Zhi is Yang Duanhe's personal soldier, and can also be said to be a family general.
When Chi Yao flew down, he was greeted by nearly a hundred hand crossbow arrows that were already strung up and ready to go.
"Everyone, wait a minute, I am the commander of the Shushan Yuyuan Guard. I have some suggestions on how to cooperate with Yang Duan and General to ensure logistics supply. I want to talk to General Yang about some suggestions. I hope you can make it convenient."
Under normal circumstances, Yang Zhi should not agree to such a hasty request from an outsider, but who asked him to face Chi Yao?
After referring to the secret techniques of the Yin Yang family, his manipulation of the heart and emotion Gu became more and more superb. As long as he was willing, few people in the world could refuse his request.
Yang Zhi is naturally no exception.
By the time Shuren Shuili and his son chased them down the mountain, there were no traces of the elite Hundred Cavalry soldiers here.
…
…
In fact, Chi Yao also thought about how Shushan should develop in the future after helping solve the troubles from the Yin and Yang family.
The existence form of Shushan is different from that of other schools of thought. They are not gathered together because of the same ideas or doctrines, but because of responsibilities.
The responsibility of guarding Yu Yuan’s seal.
But in fact, the Yu Yuan seal itself does not need anyone to guard it. The Fuso tree is enough to suppress it.
Their existence is more to prevent anyone from destroying the seal intentionally or unintentionally due to covetousness or other reasons.
However, Fusang Mu Chi Yao will definitely be taken away. As for Yu Yuan, he will also deal with the Yuan Sha Qi inside, and he plans to fill in the remaining remnants with Donghuang Taiyi.
Who asked this guy to create a hibiscus wood incarnation?
No one in this world is more suitable to suppress Yu Yuan than him.
In this way, the responsibility to restrain the Shushan disciples is gone. Not only that, they will also lose the necessary conditions for practicing [Great Sun Bathing Abyss Art] in the future.
But out of repayment for this sect, after all, both the great elder and Yu Yuan helped him a lot from the beginning. Chi Yao was not prepared to let the name Shushan disappear.
In other words, the path of merging with the Chi family or the Yin Yang family of Chu is not feasible.
Now that he has made this decision, he needs to consider two issues.
The first is the sect’s residence, and the second is the new sect’s inheritance.
In fact, it goes without saying much about the place of residence. If it was not in the Shu region, calling it Shu Mountain would seem weird. You just need to avoid the peak where Yu Yuan exists.
But the land of Bashu is the boundary of the Qin State after all. If it wants to develop, it cannot do without the support of the Qin State, or at least it cannot be as vigilant and hostile as it is now.
Therefore, it is imperative to ease relations.
Nowadays, the war between Qin and Chu requires the efforts of the people of Bashu. If Shushan can come forward to coordinate this relationship, it will not only guarantee the treatment of the conquered people, but also serve as a letter of submission to the Qin State.
Moreover, he also knew that it was the right time for King Qin to employ people under his command, and if the power of Shushan was willing to lend its services, the treatment would not be too bad.
As for the inheritance, although the ape fighting skills of Shushan will not be affected, the [Great Sun Bathing Abyss Technique] that is the most fundamental to training Yu Yuan guards cannot be practiced, which is an extremely heavy loss.
Chi Yao thought about it and decided to help them change their style.
"It's called Shushan. If you don't practice swordsmanship, you always feel like something is missing."
Since he obtained Chi You's sword, thanks to the gradual digestion of the murderous auras of the war spirits on the sword, he has also gained some understanding of Chi You's swordsmanship, and his level has improved rapidly.
Although there are countless people in this era who use swords and even use swords as tokens of their masters. However, regardless of whether they are Taoists, Confucians, Mohists, or peasants, although the swordsmanship inherited by these sects is superb, they only regard the sword as a way to explain or protect the way.
tool.
Whether it is the Mohist "universal love" and "non-aggression", the Confucian "benevolence" and "propriety", or the Taoist "inaction" and "freedom", the farmer's "farming with the people", etc...
There is no place for the sword in their thoughts and teachings.
Whether it is Mo Mei or Xue Ji, the reason why these famous swords have become their leader's tokens is not because they are swords, but because the things that fit their respective doctrines happen to be sword shapes.
So Chi Yao plans to help fill this gap. The new Shushan will be a force that truly uses swords as the foundation of its sect.
It is no longer the sword that explains the Tao and the sword that protects the Tao, but the sword is the Tao!
Chi Yao even thought about the core theory of the sect.
But the most important thing at the moment is to help Shushan conquer the Qin State. With the support of the country and the king, the future of the new Shushan will be bright!
…
…
When Chi Yao came forward in person, although Yang Duanhe was dubious, he agreed to let Shushan disciples come out and give it a try.
Then Chi Yao understood why the Qin State was so afraid of Shushan.
I saw that all the people who had gathered in Shushan to escape the requisition of Qin came back obediently after the great elder came forward and said a few words.
Not only that, because of the participation of Shushan disciples in the subsequent operations of recruiting civilians, the acceptance of the people in Bashu greatly increased.
Although this is inseparable from some changes in their attitudes and methods, Shushan's influence in this region is still evident.
"So in the past, Shushan was still unwilling to accept it..."
Chi Yao shook his head. If he had shown such a cooperative attitude earlier, would the Yin Yang family still have a chance to bully Shushan?
Believe it or not, during the Bashu uprising, the Qin State directly sent troops to annihilate you?!
But it's not too late to force it anyway.
Both the State of Qin and the King of Qin still need their help.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! With Shushan’s help and organization, the Chu army in Bashu was like being immersed in a vast ocean of people, and the war was difficult every step of the way.
.
With such big changes taking place in Bashu, the news naturally quickly reached the ears of King Qin.
"The Shushan faction takes the initiative to help and intends to join us?"
Ying Zheng was a little excited when he saw the information sent by Luo Wang.
The combined area of Bashu and Bashu is almost equivalent to half of the entire Qin State today. Even though there are many dangerous mountains, after the construction of Dujiangyan, the plain in the middle of Sichuan has not only become a granary, but also an important population center.
The weight of this gift was so great that even the pensive Ying Zheng could hardly contain his excitement.
He let out a long breath, and then called over Gai Nie and Xuan Jian, the two men who knew the world best.
"Do you know the Shushan sect?"
"I only heard that it is a sect that specializes in witchcraft and sorcery. It seems to be very ancient."
Ganie thought for a while and replied.
In contrast, Luo Wang's information was much more detailed. After Xuan Jian gathered all the information about Shushan, he added: "Based on the investigation, we learned that there seems to be some kind of connection between Shushan and the Yinyang family.
A contradiction."
"oh?"
Ying Zheng nodded slightly.
There are hundreds of schools of thought that exist in the Qin State, mainly Qin Mo, Taoism and Yin Yang School. Among them, Qin Mo has been completely integrated into the Qin State's national system due to years of subtle influence and is no longer considered a political force.
The two sects of Taoism, Heaven and Man, both advocate seclusion and inaction, and are of little help to the Qin State.
Only the Yin Yang family, who had just entered Qin, took the initiative to surrender. It stands to reason that Qin should also unite the front against their enemies.
But that’s not how the emperor’s mind works.
Precisely because the Yin Yang family is now the dominant family in the world of Qin, Ying Zheng hopes more to bring in an opponent for him to use as a check and balance, rather than help them find another ally.
Therefore, this last item is not a disadvantage, but a bonus.
"In that case, let's use the net to send a message and ask the leader of Shushan to come to Xianyang to see me."
