.Chapter 120 Bloody Meaning

"Kong Yingda?"

He walked west and pondered for a while, and looked at each other with the solemn expressions of Jiang Chengzhi, Lu Long and others, but they wanted to speak but stopped.

Liu Xuan is a great scholar from Shandong. His disciples were all over the country and south of Henan, but because of the attacks from the Guanlong people, he was poor and destitute and had to live under the treacherous tent to make a living. This is a shame for Shandong people, and it will arouse the anger of Shandong people. This shame and anger will drive Shandong people to launch crazy revenge on the Guanlong people.

Kong Yingda is a disciple of Liu Zhuo, a great scholar in Shandong. His influence among Shandong Confucian scholars can be imagined. If such a person helps Yang Xuangan rebel, he can imagine how great it will help Yang Xuangan.

This news can be said to be aggravated. Hebei rebels are rising and eyeing each other, while Yang Xuangan is preparing for the opportunity. Behind these two crises are the figures of Shandong families. What is desperate is that he knows who is behind the outbreak of the crisis, but he can't find any way to defeat him.

"The Kong family in Hengshui is also a prominent family in Hebei?"

Walking west, he asked with a hint of luck. If the Kong family in Hengshui was just a family of three or four, then even Kong Yingda was a great scholar, but his influence was limited because of his lack of respectful status and status, and was limited to Shandong Confucian scholars. Most of Shandong Confucian scholars were poor families. In this way, Kong Yingda would find it difficult to give Yang Xuangan a decisive help.

"Hengshui Kong family is the king of Xindu County." Xue Deyin replied.

If the five major families in Shandong are first-class families, then the prominent families in Hebei, such as the You family in Renxian and the Liu family in Jicheng, are second-class families, and local counties like the Kong family in Xindu can only be ranked among the third- and fourth-class families. Generally speaking, their influence is mainly limited to the county.

"The Confucian scholarship is mainly Shandong, and the Confucian scholarship is mainly Hebei. The reason why Hebei Confucian scholarship can represent the highest achievement of the Confucian scholarship is because of the emergence of talents." Xue Deyin continued, "The great Confucian scholars in Shandong were Xiong Ansheng, Liu Guisi, Guo Maodang, Liu Zhihai, and Li Delin, Liu Zhuo, Liu Xuan, Fang Huiyuan. Now there are Kong Yingda, Gaiwenda, Li Xuanda, and Li Shousu. Kong Yingda and Gaiwenda both came from the famous family of Hengshui, and were both disciples of Liu Zhuo. Li Xuandao and Li Shousu came from the Li family of Zhao County, and the Li family of Zhao County was the first-class in the world."

With this explanation, the influence of Hebei Dashu in Shandong is very clear.

The so-called "the great scholars of the Han and Wei dynasties are mostly pure and open, while the great scholars of modern times are mostly vulgar." It is just relative. For thousands of years, reading has been the privilege of rich people, and they cannot afford to read without money. In history, the ancestors and schools of thought are not a class of gentry with wealthy families? According to historical records, a certain great sage may be less poor or less orphaned. If you are less poor and less orphaned, you must not understand it as modern poverty and loneliness, which is a big mistake. If you are less poor, you can understand it as a family decline, but the status of the gentry is still there, and food and clothing can still be solved. If you are still in the family, you still have a house and a land, and you can still make a name for yourself as long as you work hard. If you are young, you will still be able to make a name for both parents, but your family is still there, and your blood and relatives are still there, and you can still be taken care of. However, in the eyes of the gentry who are pampered and noble, this is already very "miserable". It would be amazing to be able to achieve success in learning or even make a name for others in such an environment.

The Confucianism in Middle-earth has always been controlled by prominent families. Studying and being an official complement each other, so the aristocratic families are also called the family of the Confucianism. However, since ancient times, doing good knowledge not only requires talent, but also time, and persistent research, and specialize in the profession. Therefore, in order to pass on generations, aristocratic families generally use their talents to fulfill their talents. Those who are officials, those who are academic and those who are knowledgeable must inherit the teachings. If you have the talent to be an official, then the family will do their best to help you enter the Tai Pavilion. If you are good at studying, then the family will do their best to help you become a great master of the generation. Being a prime minister, a general, and a great scholar are indispensable for the inheritance and prosperity of the confucian family. If all three are possessed, they will definitely be powerful. If all three are possessed, they will be enough to glorify the world.

People's desires are endless. Those who become generals want to be prime ministers, and those who become prime ministers want to become great scholars, while those who become great scholars want to "become prime ministers, and those who leave out want to be generals." Most literati think that they have talent to save the world, but unfortunately they are not satisfied with talent and are depressed and unsuccessful. Most literati who write history are like this, so there are generations of great scholars in history books. Achievement of great scholars must teach students and write books to establish stories, and people's lifespan is limited and time is limited. How can they be fully equipped and everything goes well? Besides, if the great scholars, the prime minister and the general, can they have the best three things at the same time? I am afraid that by that time, the first one will lose is the most respected identity of the great scholars, and writing books to carry stories and spread to future generations, it will become a "dream".

The great scholar comes from the noble family's hopes. The emergence of a great scholar not only requires classics, but also requires the teacher's teaching and answering questions, but also requires sufficient time and inexhaustible wealth. The preface of reading is to have food, food, clothing, and an ordinary civilian cannot even solve the problem of food and clothing. During the busy farming period, you have to go to the fields to farm, and during the slack farming, you have to do labor to dig canals and build roads for the empire. Let me ask, where does the money and time get to study? Besides, even if you have the most basic conditions for reading, where is the classics? Where is the teacher who teaches? They are all controlled by the noble family's hope. The most basic conditions for aristocratic families to pass on books and teach their professions is that you must be a gentry, aristocratic children, even if you are the lowest aristocratic. This is the rule of the hierarchy, and abiding by the rules is the most basic requirement for maintaining social stability.

Kong Yingda is a son of a prominent family in Hengshui, a noble family in Hebei, and a great scholar in Shandong. Even if he does not have any official position, he will have considerable appeal based on his identities as a great scholar and a noble.

"In the second year of Daye, the emperor once discussed Confucianism in Dongdu Guangzhuo, intending to imitate the story of Emperor Xuan of Han discussing scriptures and Emperor Zhang of Han discussing rituals. After the abolition of the previous emperor, his teachers' confucianism such as Lu Deming, Lu Shida, Shandong's confucianism Liu Zhuo, Liu Xuan, Guanlong confucianism Wang Tong, Yan Silu and a certain family member all came out of time, climbed the aloud to hold the scriptures, and each of them was struggling to debate the debate, and they were difficult to ask, and studied the principles of the ancestors together." Xue Deyin continued, "Kong Yingda participated in this grand event with the Ming Jing Gaodi, and fought against the scholars in the debate, and the person who blocked the conflict was invincible and rated it as the top. At that time, he was only thirty-two years old, and was the youngest among all the scholars in the answer to the imperial edict, and was the best in the world."

"Some of the ancestors and scholars were ashamed of this, and they were so angry that they could not calm down. Some even killed the assassin and secretly sent the assassin. Just when Kong Yingda's life was in danger, Yang Xuangan extended his hand to help and hid him in the mansion to survive."

Xue Deyin raised the title of Kong Yingda as the "No. 1 Confucian in the World" and explained his life and death relationship with Yang Xuangan. At this point, the evidence of this Shandong scholar helping Yang Xuangan's rebellion is basically conclusive. The people in the northwest have no doubts, which completely dispelled the lucky mentality that Jialan and the people in the northwest have always been hidden in their hearts. Shandong people helped Yang Xuangan rebellion, and the rebels in the Hebei region cut off the grain channels of Yongji Canal. Today's situation is actually a dead end. No matter how hard the people in the northwest work, there is no possibility of reversal.

Galan flatly gave up all unrealistic fantasies and tried his best to fight for hope for survival. Today, the Northwest people have only one goal, to survive.

Thanks to Xue Deyin. If Xue Deyin had not thought of Liu Zhuo and Liu Xuan from the Liu family in Jicheng behind Su, and from Liu Xuan's tragic situation of poverty and despair, then there would be no way to know that Kong Yingda was already with Yang Xuangan. Shandong Confucian scholars were closely related to the survival of the empire. Now Liu Xuan is under Liu Heita's tent, Kong Yingda is under Yang Xuangan's tent, and Liu Xuan and Kong Yingda, two generations of Shandong Confucian scholars, could use their influence to mobilize immeasurable forces, bring together the rebellious groups of Shandong rebels and Guanlong nobles, and cooperate tacitly, raise troops together, and give a fatal blow to the emperor and the center, and give a heavy blow to the empire.

Jialan invited Su Dingfang to the edge of the map and said earnestly, "Someone comes from the Western Land, everything here is very unfamiliar to us. In a hurry, it is difficult for someone to find a proper way to retreat to the enemy. I wonder if Dingfang can help me?"

Su Dingfang hesitated and his eyes slowly swept across the faces of the people in the northwest, with a look of alertness hidden in his eyes.

There is no love for no reason, nor hatred for no reason. The so-called help for righteousness is often driven by interests, just like there is no friendship between countries and only interests. The Northwest people and Su Dingfang met for the first time, and even if they met by chance, they would fall into the same state at first sight, but Su Dingfang was willing to risk the family to be destroyed and their people died, because there was a benefit worthy of his gamble for. What is the benefit that Su Dingfang pursued? What kind of commitment did he need?

Su Dingfang actually didn't need to make a promise. He just gambled. If he won the bet, the Northwest people would repay him. However, the Northwest people didn't think so. The Northwest people lived in a desert where strength determines everything. Exchange of interests was the most common thing for them.

"If someone survives, this life belongs to Su's family."

As soon as Jia Lan said this, Xue Deyin and Fu Duanyi were secretly surprised, thinking that Jia Lan was too rash and that such a promise was too heavy.

People in the Northwest appreciated Galan's decisiveness. Galan has always been like this, so he has many brothers who are willing to give his life for him.

Su Dingfang was shocked. Jialan was the Imperial Army Captain, and there were two "backers" of Pei and Xue, while Su was just a powerful local tyrant, one of which was an official and the other was a civilian. There was a considerable gap in status and status, and he could not bear such a heavy promise at all. "Never." Su Dingfang hurriedly shook his hand and said in fear and trepidation, "The general is so serious, and the Su family cannot afford it. Please don't do this."

Jialan's face suddenly turned cold, "Can you bully someone a barbarian in the northwest?"

"No, no, the general misunderstood. I will never dare to neglect the general." Su Dingfang caught off guard. Unexpectedly, Jia Lan turned against him and turned against him if he refused. He was very nervous and turned against him. He was in a hurry for a moment, and his handsome face turned red with a red face.

"Since that's the case, why refuse?" Jialan opened his eyes angrily and asked sternly, "Can people in Hebei not even afford a life?"

Su Dingfang was very embarrassed and wanted to agree, but immediately thought of the consequences of accepting Galan's promise, so he forced himself to suppress his impulse, then took a quick step back, left the map, and widened the distance with Galan.

At this moment, he regretted it and shouldn't have taken a risk. After all, he still despised the Northwest people from the bottom of his bones, believing that the Northwest people are barbaric and dull, and easy to deceive, just like those Hu Shangs from the West, who were greedy and vulgar, and were overjoyed when he gave a small profit. He obviously suffered a loss and thought he had taken a huge advantage. Su Dingfang thought he had "taken" the Northwest people, but he didn't expect that there were two Zhongzhou people among the Northwest people. He took some secrets from his mouth that seemed unimportant but obviously very important to the Northwest people. Then Jialan suddenly attacked, nominally giving Su a great promise, but in fact he wanted to hold Su firmly in his hands.

Just imagine, if Jialan spread it everywhere after dawn and said that he had made a promise to the Su family and handed his life to the Su family, what would the Hebei people think? Who would believe that there is no deal between the two? The Su family became the target of public criticism. Is there any other choice besides helping the people of the Northwest wholeheartedly?

"General, don't force each other." Fu Duanyi had already seen Jia Lan's intention. This "provoking general" is easy to use in Western Land, and is effective against the Hu barbarians who are upright and upright in character. However, it may not be effective in dealing with powerful men like Su Dingfang in Middle Land, and it is very likely to be counterproductive. "Although Su Lang's kindness of helping each other for righteousness is rare, the general repays his life with his life is too heavy. The Su family is indeed difficult to bear. It is better to do this. The general will have bloody friendship with Su Lang, and thus become friends of life and death, and share life and death with hardships."

"Okay" Jialan looked at Su Dingfang with a cold expression and asked word by word, "I wonder if there is a certain northwestern barbarian in Dingfang's eyes?"

Su Dingfang knew that he had fallen into a trap and was deceived by these cunning Northwest people. But now that things have come to this point, if he doesn't go downhill, he will bring disaster to the Su family. Forget it, since he has fallen into the trap of Northwest people, then dance with the wolf for the time being and see who will go home alive in the end.

"Thanks to the general's love..." Su Dingfang did not hesitate anymore, and immediately bowed, "I wish to share life and death with my elder brother in this life, and to rely on good fortune and good fortune."

At critical moments, the key to bloody charity is not whether the ceremony is grand, but whether it is established as a foundation of trust between each other.

When Galan asked Su Dingfang for advice again, Su Dingfang had to say that, and he had to do his best. A real man promised righteousness. Since he had become a bloody charity, he had to help the people of the Northwest and strive for his own future interests with the greatest efforts.

"As far as I know, the thief commanders surrounding Daliuji were Hao Xiaode and Liu Heita's troops, and the thief commanders who besieged Ande City were Liu Badao and Li Deyi's troops. In addition, there were thief commanders Ge Qian, Gao Kaidao, Sun Xuanya and Shi Zhizhe in the direction of Douzigang, and it is said that there were thief commanders Wang Bo and Zuo Xiaoyou's troops who fled from the north of Qi County." Su Dingfang pointed to Changhe and Pingyuan County on the map, "Here, there were thief commanders Du Yanbing and Wang Run's team."

"According to my estimate, the Douzigang rebels came out in full swing this time. The rebels of all the rebels together had at least 100,000 people. So I can be sure that their target was not Ande City, but Yongji Canal and Baigou Waterway. The reason is very simple. After two consecutive years of disaster, Pingyuan County was repeatedly plundered by various rebels, with barren fields and no grains harvested. The food in Ande City was very limited. Even if the rebels defeated Ande City, there was not enough food to eat, and it would not solve the spreading famine."

"Great Famine?" Galan asked in surprise, "Where is the Great Famine?"

"After two consecutive years of disaster, the court not only did not provide relief, but instead imposed heavy taxes and forced people to death. More and more rebels, burning, killing, looting and looting were everywhere. Countless people had to escape their homes, and the fields were large and deserted, so a great famine came into being."

Galan nodded slightly, "In this way, Daliuji and Andecheng are both traps?"

"For the rebels, based on Douzigang, they can attack and retreat and defend without any mistakes." Su Dingfang pointed to Yongjiqu on the map. "If Douzigang rebels gathered in Baigou, they not only had conflicts with Gaojibo rebels, but also easily fell into the north-south attack of the official army. Therefore, the rebels used the besiege of Ande City as bait to lure the official army to go south to rescue, and then wait for labor to surround and annihilate it. Once the official army is severely damaged, the Yongjiqu defense power will be weakened, and the rebels will be more likely to seize the waterway."

"Is there a way to defeat the enemy?" Galan asked for advice.

"The rebels divided into two groups, besieging Daliuji and besieging Ande City. Daliuji has no danger to defend and can be set off every day, while Ande City is tall and strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is obvious that Daliuji is the real trap, but the way to use troops is the virtual and the real. It is precisely because everyone infers that Daliuji is the trap and the main force of the rebels, and only then will the judgment be made incorrectly by rushing to reinforcements, and will neglect the prevention and ultimately give the rebels the chance to annihilate the enemy."

Galan frowned and asked, "Is there any army to rush to reinforce?"

This problem has always troubled the people of the northwest. Since there are rebels in Hebei, since the rebels are all gathered in Gaojipo and Douzigang, and since Gaojipo and Douzigang are distributed on both sides of Yongji Canal, seriously threatening the security of the food route, the emperor and the central government will definitely deploy a certain number of troops on both sides of Yongji Canal to serve as garrison in order to ensure the victory of the Eastern Expedition, but where are these troops? Is there no garrison troops at all, or are the troops stationed along the river? Changlu and Dongguang are both important rushes in Yongji Canal, so why didn’t the garrison troops be seen? Could it be that they were all transferred to Liyang by Yang Xuangan?

Under the attention of the people in the northwest, Su Dingfang shook his head and told everyone with a very affirmative tone, "The Yingyang Mansion soldiers from the north and south of the Great Henan all went to the Liaodong battlefield, and the local garrison troops also went to the Liaodong battlefield. The rebels from the north of the Great Henan were arriving. It was precisely because there was no army to suppress them, and the local governments were willing to hide the facts and deceive the emperor in order to evade responsibility. The nobles from all over the country were forced to form village groups and clan groups to protect themselves."

Su Dingfang looked at everyone, his eyes showing grievances, "The army rushing to assist, besides you, are our village groups."
