Chapter 395: One Yin and One Yang The Way
Yang Feng and Pei Qian rushed to the surrendered city with five thousand infantrymen.
When Li Ru heard the news, he went out to greet him in person. When he saw the invisible luggage vehicle, Li Ru laughed: "It seems that I'm worried in vain."
Yang Feng turned over and dismounted, quickly came up, and clasped his fists from afar and smiled: "In order to prepare more food and grass, it's too late, please ask Brother Wen You to speak more beautifully in front of the Grand Marshal."
"With so much food and grass, no matter how angry you are, it will disappear." Li Ru held Yang Feng's hand and said intimately. He glanced at Pei Qian and nodded in appreciation: "I haven't seen you for a year, and you are introverted and gentle."
Pei Qian spread his hands, looking helpless: "With a Shangguan like General Yang, there are colleagues like Hao Boji, I just want to be unrestrained and I don't have the right to be arrogant."
Li Ru couldn't help laughing: "That's right, it's because the general of the North has a lot of talents that the Taiwei can defend the enemy with peace of mind in the northern border. Your Majesty's arrangement is really thoughtful."
Yang Feng smiled and accepted Li Ru's praise calmly. It has to be said that Liu Bian took great care of him, not only helping him understand his life, but also placed young heroes like Hao Zhao, Guo Huai, and Pei Qian under his command. This alone shows that the strength of the General Mansion in Pingbei is strong, and even Dong Zhuo, who is famous for his fierceness, dare not underestimate him.
Yang Feng followed Li Ru into the lobby. Facing Dong Zhuo with murderous aura, without waiting for Yang Feng to speak, Li Ru first reported to Dong Zhuo that Yang Feng had brought a large amount of food and supplies. When Dong Zhuo heard this, he turned angry and happy. If he wanted to go deep into the grassland to fight, of course, he needed a lot of food and supplies. The more he prepared, the more confident he was. This is of course good news, enough to offset Yang Feng's sins of a few days late.
Dong Zhuo asked intimately: "How was the harvest in Bingzhou last year?"
Yang Feng bowed and reported to Dong Zhuo last year's food tuition with some pride. Dong Zhuo was nominally the Grand Marshal, but in fact he was guarding the border with the crime. There were four auxiliary ministers in the court to manage the government, and they generally did not inform him of these specific matters. Yang Feng knew that Dong Zhuo was frustrated, so he said it in detail and let Dong Zhuo experience the glory that the three dukes should enjoy.
Bingzhou has been in good condition in the past two years.
Bingzhou has many mountains and few lands. Almost all good land was occupied by the powerful families. When Yang Feng first arrived in Bingzhou, he could only bring the Yellow Turban Army soldiers to open up wastelands that the powerful families disdained to occupy. He used the land as much as possible. When Wang Yun failed, many families in Bingzhou were implicated, and those who were beheaded were exiled. A large amount of land was controlled by Yang Feng. After seeing the iron fist of the court, the remaining powerful families were restrained a lot. Some people took the initiative to "sell" some land, and some people took the initiative to cooperate with Yang Feng to make a fortune together.
Yang Feng's life was much better all of a sudden.
The soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were all poor people. They not only regarded land as wealth, but also as life. Once they had their own land, they worked hard and were willing to work harder than those who were tenants. Naturally, the output was more. By the end of last year, Bingzhou was basically self-sufficient, and although they did not provide much grain to the court, they did not reach out to the court.
For Bingzhou, this is a significant improvement.
This time Dong Zhuo was going to go to war, Yang Feng thought of many ways, not only cleaned up the granary, but also borrowed a lot from the aristocratic family, promising to repay it with spoils in the future. He smiled and said to Dong Zhuo: "Taiwei. We can't afford to lose this battle, otherwise, my General Pingbei Mansion will have countless creditors."
Dong Zhuo laughed loudly, his big hand slapped his table, and there was a loud "bang". "Don't worry, we won't lose. Even if we can't sweep the grassland like His Majesty, it will be no problem to fight and flow a lot."
"That would be better."
"Wenyou, tell Qizhi about the combat plan. The military is very fast, so we don't have much time left."
"Here."
...
Liu Bian sat on the back of the beast, shaking and drowsy.
The further south the temperature was, the higher the temperature. When Liu Bian and others left, they all brought heavy winter clothes, which were no longer worn now. Liu Bian simply tied the sleeves of the winter clothes around his waist, looking no different from the shepherds on the grassland.
Xun Yu was not as free and easy as Liu Bian. He was wearing a thin shirt and his pants were a little bit forced. The winter pants were too hot and uncomfortable to cover them. There were single pants, but they were not decent. There were only half left, and a big hole was broken, revealing her white thighs.
"I can't tell you, you are really tender and tender, just like a woman." Liu Bian smacked his lips with his sleepy eyes open.
Xun Yu pulled a piece of cloth awkwardly and covered it on his thighs, making his face flushed.
"Don't be embarrassed." Liu Bian covered his mouth and yawned. "When I meet the dragon cavalry, I will give you two sets of clothes. However, don't forget to thank you at that time. Otherwise, it would be rude and the censor will know that he will impeach."
Xun Yu was shocked and suddenly felt a sense of loss. Although he had been worried about Liu Bian's teasing of him, he was still a little uncomfortable when he was used to this casual life and really wanted to return to that civilized world.
"I remember."
"Yes." Liu Bian nodded, as if he was about to take a nap again. Xun Yu said, "Your Majesty, I have thought of a good reason."
Liu Bian opened his eyes weakly and glanced at Xun Yu: "Reason? What's the reason?"
"Your Majesty Nakawujie's reason."
Liu Bian was stunned for a moment and suddenly laughed. He waved his hand: "Nonsense, what reason does this require? I will accept it. Who can do what I do?"
Xun Yu's eyes twitched. Liu Bian asked him to find a reason, but he had tried a lot of effort and finally found an explanation that seemed to be self-justified. Unexpectedly, Liu Bian didn't take it seriously at all and didn't need any reason at all.
"His Majesty……"
"I just want you to know. No matter how arrogant a person is, it is difficult to maintain integrity in the face of life and death." Liu Bian leaned over, patted Xun Yu on the shoulder, and said sympathetically: "Xun Yu, you have times when you lose your integrity. Are you still a little proud when you find a reason?"
Xun Yu was so angry that his face turned pale and a little ashamed. As Liu Bian said, when he found this reason, he was a little proud. Now it seems that this kind of complacent mood is so shameful.
"Man has no bottom line. If you set a goal that cannot be achieved at all, he will lose confidence and constantly lower his bottom line. At this point, your ancestor is better than Mencius. He admits human evil, puts the bottom line very low, and then constantly improves. Every little progress is achieved through hard work. This is more reliable than being unable to become a saint no matter how hard he tries, right?"
Xun Yu nodded silently without any shame.
"You are a smart person. After you figured this out, I believe you will do better." Liu Bian opened his mouth wide and yawned. "Oh, I really don't want to go back to the Central Plains. For me, Wolf Juxu Mountain is more comfortable than the Central Plains, while Xuanming Sea is more comfortable than Wolf Juxu Mountain. Every day, it is not more comfortable to ride a dragon in the sea than sitting on a royal seat? Yin and Yang are harmonious, and the world is most happy."
Xun Yu's eyes rolled: "Your Majesty, one yin and one yang are just called Tao. You are not harmonious with yin and yang. Not only are the numbers incorrect, but Diao Chan and Kawujie are not the queens, they and Your Majesty..."
Liu Bian opened his eyes, looked at Xun Yu with contempt, and interrupted him. "Can you stop thinking about it three times?"
Xun Yu was stunned. "What is Your Majesty referring to?"
"Oh, I don't want to talk to you anymore." Liu Bian reached out and shook his hand, as if he wanted to make Xun Yu's words smell bad. "What a Confucian leader, he only remembers Fang | Zhongzhi." After that, he kicked the beast and ran away.
Xun Yu was very embarrassed. He scratched his head and suddenly saw the Xuan Dao and Chixiao Sword jumping along with the footsteps of the beast on Liu Bian's waist. He suddenly realized. Since his injury healed, Liu Bian handed him over the chores of harvesting water and chopping firewood. Other chores were Diao Chan and Kawujie. He spent most of his time practicing martial arts except hunting. However, his martial arts practice was different. He was neither practicing sword nor sword, but practicing swords together.
Xun Yu always thought he was practicing fighting skills, but now he suddenly realized that Liu Bian was not practicing martial arts, but guiding skills.
Aren’t Xuan Dao and Chixiao just one yin and one yang? Xuan Dao is water, Chixiao is fire. When water and fire are in harmony, isn’t it Tao or something?
Xun Yu suddenly realized. He was overjoyed and chased after him. He was about to call Liu Bian and tell him his understanding. Suddenly, he saw dozens of black dots appear on the horizon in the distance, galloping towards him quickly. Xun Yu was shocked and quickly grabbed the horse, but found that Liu Bian was still running forward, quickly kicking the mount, shouting: "Your Majesty, there is danger--"
Liu Bian looked back at him and slowly strangled the beast. Xun Yu chased him, but saw Liu Bian smiling and looking relaxed.
"His Majesty?"
"Where does the danger come from?" Liu Bian smiled and said, "Welcome back to the civilized world."
"Ah?" Xun Yu didn't react for a moment, looked at the figure in the distance, and gradually understood: "Your Majesty, this is..."
"The dragon rider I stayed here." Liu Bian sat upright and sighed softly, as if he was a little regretful. "Put it out and don't let the dragon rider laugh at him. There is also an acquaintance in it."
Xun Yu did not dare to be negligent, so he jumped off his horse and took out a winter clothes from his bag to wear it. Although it was uncomfortable to cover it, it was better than having bare legs. He looked at Liu Bian, but found that Liu Bian had no intention of preparing at all. He just sat quietly on the back of the beast with his shirtless, but he had the momentum of looking down on the world.
Xun Yu was stunned for a moment. It was not until Tang Tao led dozens of cavalry to Liu Bian, turned over and dismounted, bowed to Liu Bian's horse, and shouted long live the mountain, that he came to his senses. He looked at Tang Tao and felt familiar. Tang Tao also saw him, looked up and down, and was shocked: "You... are Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo?"
Xun Yu nodded: "You are..."
"I am Tang Tao." Tang Tao was surprised and happy. "You... why are you with Your Majesty?" (To be continued)
