Book 24 Chapter 12 – Free Talk About The World

Several plu froht into the sky

Since last night, before dawn, the Jianghuai Arently for nearly thirty li under Du Fuwei’s personal coainst Shen Lun’s army camp But unfortunately at the same time his dozen or so warshi+ps that were moored on the Great River by the are-scale plan of a ar

Froround, he looked into the distance and saw that Shen Lun’s hold has not yet fallen; the destroyed area were just the sentry caht the battle cry into everybody’s ears Chen Changlin’s pair of eyes was flashi+ng with fierce and sharp lights; obviously he was very pleased that Shen Lun was being attacked

Leaning over, Bu Tianzhi whispered in Kou Zhong’s ear, “In ainst Du Fuwei Therefore, although on the surface Du Fuwei seeh Shen Lun suffers soe, his foundation has not been injured at all, so momentarily he does not need to retreat in panic Ay! Even if he is leaving, he must leave by land route, because if he wanted to leave by the ay, there is no boat that he could use”

Although he did not say it explicitly, he was pointing out that to ambush Shen Lun – under current circues – was practically not feasible

Kou Zhong was feeling discouraged as well; without any better option he consoled him, “Shen Lun is Old Du’s well-matched adversary; quite possibly he will crulin on his other side could not take his eyes fro his head, he said, “Shen Lun is resourceful and brave In terh he can’t coth is even farther behind, but he is occupying the stronghold, which is favorable for defense without the advantage of offense, plus he has the opportunity to preserve and nurture his spirit Although in the beginning he was under attack with no time to deal with it, but very soon he was able to turn the table around and stand his ground My guess is that Shen Lun will suffer a rather heavy loss, but Du Fuill not reap le horn was sounded Kou Zhong s is indeed able to prophesy with supernatural accuracy Old Du is going to retreat!”

Chen Changlin heaved a sigh, and said with a wry s his troops to pursue and attack Du Fuwei’s retreating ar operation this time will have to be cancelled But if Shen Lun can’t even press on his advantage by pursuing and attacking, then ill still have a chance”

Kou Zhong praised hi and courageous man with deep passion and heavy comradeshi+p, he also kne to separate public and private interest clearly There was no way he would have everybody else take risks with hies

Co realized that he tend to act impetuously more than hiive report on the latest situation on the battlefield Shen Lun indeed sent his troops to pursue and attack the retreating Jiang Huai Ar the rear under Du Fuwei’s personal command

Contrary to everybody’s expectation, Chen Changlin was not disappointed at all He se, ten years is not too late Shen Lun always gets whatever he wants, he has always ruled as a despot since he was young, his hometoays has fish and meat, he had never suffered any setback This tirienerals suffer loss In the future he will still have to deal with Li Zitong’s reprisal; I am very happy Why would I have to be afraid that I won’t have any ainst the rose up to his full height frolin Xiong is a hero with open-, three sides are all too busy for anything else, this is best tinan, I willAs for our headquarters in Peng Liang and other places, I will have to trouble gentlemen!”

The crowd responded in chorus; they were such in a high spirit, as if they had just defeated Shen Lun

Chengdu’s great streets and sht’s festival Fragments of paper from the firecrackers and remains of colored lanterns could be seen everywhere

The pedestrians on the streets were sparse; coht, it was like a different world altogether

It could be i, everybody was dragging their weary bodies ho onto their beds like one that has achieved the Way [idio the street, nine out of ten shops did not open their door to do business While Xu Ziling doubted in his heart whether the vegetarian e to take him to dinner would be open for business, the beauty, as dressed as a scholar, took hietarian shop on Orchard Lane at the west side of the city, which, beyond expectation, was just opening their main door to welcome the patrons

It was obvious that this was not the first time shi+ Feixuan visited the shop, since the shop owner personally cazi that, in a very respectfuladetarian dishes, shi+ Feixuan promptly ordered several appetizers and personally poured hi him feel overwhelmed [by favor from superior], because he had never expected that he would have the honor of sharing a table for lunch with her

Such a big vegetarian shop, and they were the only patrons; it was quiet and comfortable

No matter what the circu-the-food-of-co character

After a bit of sratefully said, “Fortunately Xu Xiong informed me of shi+ Zhixuan’s other identity, otherwise even noe are still unaware that Pei Ju, who singlehandedly toppled the Great Sui, is actually shi+ Zhixuan, and only he can go so deep undercover, so that others are completely unable to find spider’s thread and horse track [ie tiny hints of a secret]”

Xu Ziling was still puzzled, “How could he, one person, have so much destructive power?” he asked

shi+ Feixuan replied, “The proble’s deep favor and trust, he was the person within the Sui family clan as the ion; other estion”

After a short pause, she continued, “For exareat undertaking, Pei Ju, in his capacity as the You Guang Lu Daifu [Right Glorious Grand Master; honorific title during Tang to Qing times] at that time, was appointed the ‘Hu Bei Fan Junshi+’ [lit proliferating military counselor protector of the north] He i out that Tujue’s shi+bi Khan’s power is increasing by the day, so a plan to weaken theive the Sui dynasty’s ier brother Chijirant him the title Nanmian Khan [lit south side], and use him to split apart Tujue’s clansman who held power In the end, Chijie or the title; on the contrary, he revealed everything [orig to put everything out including the tray] to shi+bi After shi+bi found out, he put the bla of Tujue and Sui beco’s scalp went nu, I am afraid not many people are shi+ Zhixuan’swas that he still appeared to be loyal to Yang Guang, and always appeared to have consideration for the Great Sui everywhere he went”

shi+ Feixuan sighed and said, “One schely advised Yang Guang to incite the easiest Tujue e between the two nations Now the alienating the court was not concerninga title; rather, it was a man fro Guang to behead this man, Tujue could come back to embrace the Sui palace courtyard While he was unclear of the fact, Yang Guang agreed to his proposal Thereupon Pei Ju used the highly profitable co shi+shuhuxi to Mayi [lit horse city/village, not sure if this is a name] to be murdered Afterwards, he let shi+bi find out Henceforth the Tujue no longer present tribute to the Sui court”

Again she sighed before continuing, “Yang Guang’s successive generations’ emperors are the eh the Great Qin also ended their reign after only two en, the world were already seething discontent, unlike Yang Guang, hen he succeeded the throne, was still in the flourishi+ng period Now it could be assu Guang as a ate his power abroad, having the n their allegiance to hi still wanted to subdue the Tujue, patrolling the frontier fortress of the north After receiving the secret information, shi+bi personally led several tens of thousands elite cavalry to go down south to launch surprise attack on Yang Guang’s troops, forcing Yang Guang to flee into the Yane shi+bi captured thirty-nine out of Yan nearly lost his life After this war, Tujue people no longer willing to acknowledge allegiance to the Sui; furthermore, they even had the intention to advance to the east The main cause of this disaster is none other than shi+ Zhixuan”

Xu Ziling said, “Perhaps it was shi+ Zhixuan who sent so him to lead his troops to invade the south Ay! I really don’t understand, by doing that with the Tujue, he was showing the wolf into the house, what benefit would it bring shi+ Zhixuan?”

shi+ Feixuan gently said, “This is precisely the bane of ideological struggle Itelse, while turning a blind eye toward the suffering of the common people The root of this disaster came from the demonic schools’ supreme secret canon, the ten-volume Tianmo Ce [demonic manifesto] The manifesto not only contains ‘Tian Mo Da Fa’ [the heart of ‘the Way’ dereat method] and many different kinds of deep and immeasurable pinnacle studies, it also records detailed theory on the mysterious relationshi+p between the universe and the life, believing that human nature is inherently evil, and that the destruction and darkness is theit was only one kind of theory, until Eht and revered Confucianism as sole orthodoxy Whether it was on the political arena or martial arts social circles [Wulin], all the orthodox sects seized the opportunity to pursue relentlessly and strike the de disciples of deht the scrolls while they were fleeing the disaster, evolving into the Two Sects Six Ways of today shi+ Zhixuan’s desire to unify the deain Hatred was cultivated like that, and now, it’s difficult to change”

Frowning, Xu Ziling said, “But that still did not explain why shi+ Zhixuan wanted to lure the Tujue to enter the Central Plains?”

shi+ Feixuan explained, “The de ties By the tied first; by the tih the Western Regions, they also received foreign culture and religion’s influence, e the use of military force to eliminate dissidents By the time of Wei [220-265 AD] and Jin [265-420 AD] dynasties, the de their base to the west Both shi+ Zhixuan and Zhu Yuyan have blood relationshi+p with Hu people [barbarians] Therefore, our national righteousness has no effect whatsoever on the and slow, and then said, “So that’s what it is If Miss shi+ did not actively tell me, I am afraid for all my life I would never understand what crafty way the de to do next”

Thisan aro the whole place, it was put on the table, sreat

Xu Ziling noticed that after sa a couple of chopsticks, she put the chopsticks dohile he hi ehtly that you lose your appetite?”
