Chapter 77 The Blood of the Dragon City

Bai Xue's erudite and multi-talented indeed makes Chu Tianya admire him a little. In the past two days, the two of them chatted, and talked a lot about things about astronomy, geography and military humanities. Chu Tianya felt that Baixu knew almost everything.

Natural, the two talked about Taiyuan. Once, Chu Tianya learned some stories about Taiyuan Mansion in the Song Dynasty from books and the Internet. But when I heard it from Baixu, I learned more that I didn't know in the past.

Chasing the root of Shuoyuan, during the Warring States Period, the ancient city of Jinyang was once the capital of the State of Zhao. King Wuling of Zhao was riding and shooting, and the soldiers of the State of Zhao were powerful, becoming one of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period; Zhao's strength and sharpness shocked the countries from then on.

Throughout the ages, there have been many righteous people in the land of Yan and Zhao. It is said that it is related to the climate, water and soil here.

The land of Yan and Zhao (that is, the east and north of the Yellow River, which is traditionally called Hedong and Hebei) has a thin soil, high wind and cold air, and one side of water and soil nurtures one side of people, which makes the people in this place strong and strong, righteous and fierce, and attach great importance to the word "righteousness". There have always been many typical characters. For example, Jing Ke, the assassin of "the wind is bleak and the water is cold", Guan Yu in Hedong, and Zhang Yide, a Yan. Looking a little closer, the last post-Han Dynasty to be wiped out by the Song Dynasty a hundred years ago, faced the unified Song Dynasty in the south with a blade, and actually insisted on standing for more than a decade. The two generations of officials of the founding of the Song Dynasty attacked Taiyuan one after another and came to attack with the strength of the whole country. The fierce battles were extremely fierce, and the dead bodies were bleeding into rivers, and they failed to directly capture the city of Taiyuan at great cost!

Since then, the strength and courage of the Taiyuan people have made the Zhao officials deeply hate it. In addition, it is said that Taiyuan is a dragon vein, a feng shui treasure place that condenses the spirit of the king, and a place of dragon prosperity that achieves hegemony and creates emperors.

At the same time, after taking Jinyang, a Taoist priest and Fengshuixing Xiangshi said to Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi, saying that Tokyo Kaifeng is the division of "business stars" and Taiyuan is the division of "can xing". "The merchants in the sky do not meet, and the Song and Jin on the ground do not stand side" - to put it bluntly, the dragon spirit of Taiyuan will suppress the king spirit of the Song Dynasty!

It is also said that the dragon vein here in Taiyuan, the ancient city of Jinyang City is the dragon belly, the Zhoushan in the north of Taiyuan is the dragon head of the Jinyang dragon vein, and the dragon mountain and Tianlong Mountain in the southwest are the dragon tail. Zhao Guangyi then ordered that the fire and water flooded Jinyang City and razed this long ancient city into scorched earth; the mountain was cut off from the top of the mountain, which was called the dragon angle; digging the river to separate the Tianlong and other mountains in the southwest, which was called the dragon tail.

When Jinyang was burned, countless people in Taiyuan could not evacuate and be buried in the sea of fire, and more people trampled on each other at the congested gate and died. Those who narrowly escaped could only watch the farmland left by their ancestors gradually turn into a piece of scorched earth, and from then on, they were displaced and become slaves of the subjugated country. After that, Zhao Guangyi also ordered the women in the Northern Han Dynasty who were abtired from the city to be given to the sergeants, so that there were the first batch of official prostitutes in the Song Dynasty contained in the history books...

Zhao Guangyi made a cruel move. First, he hated the tenacious resistance he suffered in the Battle of Taiyuan, which caused him heavy losses. Second, he was afraid that someone would rely on dragon spirit here to prosper and compete with his Zhao family for the country.

It has been a hundred years since the founding of the Song Dynasty, and there are still many stories circulating in Taiyuan. In addition, Zhao Guangyi once ordered that scholars in Taiyuan should not be recorded, so that the "friendliness" and "loyalty" of the people here to the Zhao and Song officials have not been so high. A stone tablet set up by Zhao Guangyi to pact the Later Han Dynasty and recover Jinyang was quietly destroyed by the people of Taiyuan. Next to it, the stone tablet erected by Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, was intact!

After the murder, Zhao Guangyi seemed to remember that Jinyang has been the "fundamental of Hedong" since ancient times. Its position in national defense is really too important. It is the throat and barrier of the Song Dynasty in the face of the northern strong capture. It is a "place of the four wars, the field of attack and defense". In desperation, he had to order the reconstruction of Taiyuan City on the old site of Tangming Town, but even its names "Jinyang" and "Taiyuan" were not allowed to be called, but "Jingzhou Military". The city is also full of the construction of Qiba "Ding" Street, which is not conducive to traffic, which is known as "resisting the barbarians" - all of them have entered the city. What else can they resist? The real purpose of this move is actually to "pin" the Taiyuan dragon vein, in case someone rises here and grabs the country with his Zhao family.

The ancient city of Jinyang, which had a long history, was magnificent, had a strong city and resisted the attack of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty, is now in ruins. The newly built Taiyuan City is just a small city with a length of no more than ten miles. Even the walls are not bricked, and they are all earthen walls.

Zhao Guangyi's fear and hatred for Taiyuan comes from the bone marrow. His foolishness, selfishness and narrow-mindedness also really stung and hurt the people of Taiyuan. Undoubtedly, it is also a huge hidden danger for the current national defense crisis - if Jinyang is still there now, its solid city defense alone is enough to deter the female real cavalry who are not good at attacking the city!

"None with this, the current Taiyuan people will still stand up their backbone and burn blood to resist the invasion of strong-strongs for the Song Dynasty!" Chu Tianya sighed with emotion and said to Bai, "Brother Bai, Jinyang is no more. The ethereal things such as the dragon vein and the spirit of the king can never be captured. But I know that although Jinyang is destroyed, Longcheng will not die! - Because of the millennium heritage, Longcheng has been a kind of spirit, which has been lurking in the blood of Taiyuan soldiers and civilians. As long as we can activate the blood of the Dragon City, why are we afraid of the invasion of the strong enemy in the south?

"Yes! The powerful people in the north have always looked down on us Song people and said that 'There is no one in the south', all of which is that we are cowardly and can be bullied. Bai Qi said, "It has been a hundred years since the founding of the founding of the Song Dynasty. Perhaps we have always been too rich and peaceful, so that the people of the emperors and ministers are addicted to enjoying and forgetting to live in peace. Magnificent feelings and indignation such as 'Dragon City Blood' have been castrated or quietly ambush. But I believe that once the crisis comes, as long as there are benevolent righteous people who climb up and shout, the blood of the Dragon City can wake up and the soul of the nation can be enlightened.

"Yes, that's what I think." Chu Tianya had a sense of 'a bosom friend' and said, "After all, although the female real army is strong, they have only established the country for ten years and do not have enough cultural heritage and full armaments as backing. As long as we have the courage to fight tenaciously, we don't have to be afraid of them at all. It is not difficult to guess that in view of the unstable people and the lack of food and equipment soon after the founding of the country, the plan they formulated for the invasion of the south can only be a raid and an emergency attack. They can't afford to fight a long battle - therefore, we must promote our strengths and avoid our weaknesses and be prepared for a long-term battle. Even if our army is not the opponent of the real iron horse, as long as it is consumed, it must be them who lose!"

"Brother Chu, you are really a wonderful person!" Bai Shu laughed and patted the fan in his hand. "This theory coincides with what Xiaosheng thinks!" It's just a pity that there are not many people in the world who can think of this level, but few people can advocate doing this; and most of those who can advocate doing these things are afraid of death and do not want to serve the country - such as Tong Guan! If he is a loyal and brave person like Wang Yu, who dares to stand up and protect the people at a critical moment, why does he have to end up like this today?

Chu Tianya smiled slightly, "Listen to you, has the good news from Princess Xiao?"

"That's right." Bai Xun nodded and smiled, "Brother Chu is better than thousands of miles away. According to your arrangement, the little sister led people to ambush on the big locust slope at the foot of Taihang Mountain, and captured Yelu Yu, who was like a frightened bird at the end of the crossbow. Now she has secretly detained people, just waiting for Brother Chu's order. It depends on when she needs to use Yelu Yujian, and when she sends someone here.

"To be unsurprisingly, Yelu Yu has suffered a lot under Princess Xiao." Chu Tianya smiled and said, "It's time to meet my teacher, Wang Yu!"

"As far as I know, Wang was born in the army, starting from the end of the world, and climbed step by step with military achievements until Xuanfu Sidutong." Bai Shu said, "For him, Tong Guan has a great kindness. He is extremely loyal and affectionate... If you let him check it, will it be difficult for you if you plan to kill Tong Guan?"

"I don't know." Chu Tianya frowned and said, "Wang Yu is a very sensible person. I'm afraid it's difficult for me to hide these tricks from him. In my opinion, how can we stick to these private affairs in extraordinary times, otherwise it will mislead the country and the people. I think Wang Yu will understand my intentions and hardships. A man dares to do it. No matter what he wants to do to me, I will admit it. But I don't think he will do anything to me."

"That's good." Bai Yu nodded and said, "There's one more thing, about Uncle He..."

Chu Tianya shook his head with a bitter smile, "Although he has been in my house for several years, I may not know more than you."

Baixu nodded, "Yes, I know a little more than you. Does Brother Chu want to know his true identity?

Chu Tianya smiled and said, "If I want to know, I will ask myself. If Uncle He is willing to let me know, he will also take the initiative to tell me. I trust him and know that he has always really cared about me, which is enough. As for what he has done before, his real origin and identity are not important to me. In my opinion, he is just Uncle He in my family, that's all.

"It's really a gathering of things!" Bai Shu smiled, "He Bo is a great hero. Brother Chu sympathized with him, and it was reasonable. In fact, as early as a year or two ago, Qixing Mountain noticed He Bo. However, the old man is so mysterious and floating that I can't figure it out. This time, in order to save Xue Sange, we took the initiative to contact Brother Chu. There are also some reasons why we want to take this opportunity to get close to Uncle He.

"Does he have a grudge against you, Qixing Mountain?" Chu Tianya asked curiously.

"Of course not." Bai Xun smiled, "Not only is there no hatred, but also a deep relationship and kindness!"

"The boy surnamed Bai, do you like to chew your tongue behind your back like this?" Uncle He's voice suddenly sounded. Immediately, the door was pushed open, and He Bo came in with his body and crutches.

"Excuse me, senior!" Bai Yu got up in a hurry and apologized.

Chu Tianya also stood up and smiled and said, "Mr. He, you are back. Are you hurt?!"

"Aren't I lively?" Uncle He smiled and said, "The old man was relieved to see that the young master got out of prison safe and sound. The boy surnamed Bai saved my young master, and the old man didn't care about you.

"Thank you, senior!" Bai Xun thanked me very respectfully.

"Don't call it that. It sounds harsh." Uncle He said with a smile, "The old man has never been careless and used to being wild. You are like my young master. Call me Uncle He!"

"Yes, Uncle He!" Bai Shou shouted righteously.

"You nerd, you are really boring." He He waved his hand, took Chu Tianya's hand and sat down. He smiled, "Young master, your plan has succeeded. The wild girl was so cruel that she beat Yelu Yu to death. Hey hey, I see the old man, and I'm happy in my heart!"

Chu Tianya couldn't help laughing and said, "Yelu Yuyan has never offended Uncle He. What are you happy about?"

"Bang! - Of course he offended me!" Uncle He stuned his face and said, "He dares to flirt with my young lady who has never passed the door of the Chu family. Isn't that a crime of death? Fortunately, he fell into the hands of the old man, otherwise, he would have no intact bone all over his body!"

Bai Shu blinked his eyes puzzledly, "Brother Chu, are you going to get married? I don't know which girl is so blessed?"

Chu Tianya smiled bitterly, "Don't listen to Uncle He's nonsense! He said three words and two of them were talking nonsense!"

"Hey hey!" He Bo still smiled so much that he was disrespectful, but there was a trace of pity and sadness in his eyes. He said, "If my youngest son is still there, it's almost the young master. You should be beg for your daughter-in-law... Unfortunately, he was smashed by a good apprentice who came out by me with my own hands! If my youngest daughter is still there, I will definitely let her marry the young master as the main house. Xiao Linglong's girl has to fill in the house!"

Bai Wei's face suddenly twitched a few times: It turned out that Uncle He said that the 'daughter-in-law of the Chu family who has not passed the door' turned out to be a little sister! ...I don't know how to feel if she hears this?
