The rivers and lakes are full of vests

Just as the sun was rising in the east, the frontier sergeants who had just fought a tough battle yesterday did not need to get up early to practice, and it was rare for them to sit together outside the camp to have breakfast and wash.

This is what Fu Peibai saw when he dragged Zheng Hong to the camp.

Some soldiers were bare-chested, with some old scars removed from their bodies, which were the scars from yesterday. At a glance, there were countless injuries.

Fu Peibai grabbed Zheng Hong by the collar and thrust him hard to the ground.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers who were close to him stopped their movements and started whispering to those around them. After a while, the huge barracks fell silent, and all the soldiers looked towards Fu Peibai.

They knew that this was the young man who rode thousands of miles away to take the enemy's head yesterday, but they didn't know the identity of this man.

Fu Peibai took a deep breath, and said loudly: "In the 15th year of the Pingyuan period, the original frontier troops totaled 15. From 17 to 40, in just three years, the number of casualties is 55. This figure was calculated by my inspection of the army roster yesterday."

The high-spirited voice of the young people echoed over the camp, and the soldiers were all stunned.

"In the eyes of those in power, the lives of these two 10,000+ people are just a number. There are tens of millions of strong men in the world. Why worry about no one serving the country and joining the army? But are they just two 10,000+ soldiers? Putting aside their identities , Aren’t they the sons of elderly parents, the fathers of immature children, and the husbands of married wives? They shoulder the stability of the world and also the heaven and earth of a family.”

"The life of a soldier, if he protects the frontier for the country, and dies on the battlefield, it is a worthy death, and it is extremely honorable. However, behind the sacrifice of these two 10,000+ soldiers, it is because of an ulterior conspiracy!" Fu Peibai took out With a wave of his hand, the letters between Wuqi Dahan and Zhongyuan were scattered in the air.

"The joint march of the countries of the Western Regions to invade our frontier fortress is due to the support of a certain force in the Central Plains. These people did not hesitate to collude with the barbarians outside the fortress for their own self-interest. The world is in turmoil, take the opportunity to rebel and seek the throne!"

Fu Peibai's voice was sonorous and forceful, pointing directly at the pain in the hearts of these soldiers, "You think you are dying to defend your home and country, but you don't know that you have already become a knife in the hands of others. If you die under the ambition of these conspirators and become victims of their desires, Are you willing!"

Many soldiers in the camp suddenly stood up and said angrily, "I'm not reconciled!"

Fu Peibai's neck showed faint veins, she pointed at Zheng Hong who was trembling on the ground, and said sharply: "And now, you are throwing your heads and blood, what is the Marshal who should be standing with you on the front line, what is he doing?

He hides in the mansion's wine pool and meat forest all day long, drunk and dreaming of death, he can't see the bloody sacrifices outside the city, and he can't hear the continuous artillery fire. Are you willing to work for such a man with no talent or virtue? ! "

The soldiers clenched their fists, their eyes were red, and they shouted, "I'm not reconciled!"

Fu Peibai breathed a long sigh of relief, and said slowly: "Nowadays, in troubled times, the flames of gunpowder and wars in the Central Plains continue, and millions of people are displaced because of this. Under the collapse of the nest, there will be no eggs. In a few days, I will fight with a group of people with lofty ideals." The flag raised an incident, rushed to the Central Plains, and quelled the turmoil. I will not force you to follow us and raise troops. If you want to leave, you can leave on your own after receiving the ring silver in the near future. If you want to stay."

She paused for a while and continued: "I dare not promise anything else to you, but I can swear to you, I will not regard you as a sword in my hand, you are not fighting for me or anyone, you are Fight for yourself, fight for a world of peace and prosperity for future generations."

Fu Peibai's throat slipped, his eyes burst into a dazzling look, and he said firmly: "If the matter fails, no matter what the outcome, I will advance and retreat with you, and if the matter succeeds, everyone will be rewarded according to military merit. sacrifice!"

After the silence in the barracks, there were whispers of conversation.

"Brother, there is going to be a war again. I don't want to fight anymore. Our battalion has grown from 800 people at the beginning to now, there are only 50 people left. I really don't want to fight anymore..." A The middle-aged soldier bowed his head with a dejected expression.

The man next to him pushed him and said, "Where can you go when you go back now? There are wars everywhere now, do you think you can live a peaceful life when you go back? Do you want your children to hide with you?" , don’t even have a house to shelter from the rain? And your old mother, I remember seventy-two, you can’t just think about yourself, you have to think about them.”

The man cast his eyes on the slender young man and murmured: "Who wants to fight? People will die if they fight, but this man is right. If we don't fight, the world will be in such a mess. From now on, our children will have to fight." , For myself, for my family and children, this battle must be fought.”

"But......"

Before the middle-aged soldier finished speaking, he saw a captain walking out of the camp. The captain walked in front of Fu Peibai. His tall body turned into a shadow and enveloped the slightly thin young man. He looked down at Fu Peibai and asked : "Who are you, why should we believe what you say, and why should we follow you?"

Fu Peibai raised his head slightly, staring at the man neither humble nor overbearing, "My surname is Fu, my first name is Peibai, and my father is Fu Ming. He is a general who has fought in the battlefield for decades. Because of this, I understand that as a Soldiers, why should he live and die!"

The school lieutenant shrank his pupils sharply, and muttered in his mouth, "Fu Ming... Fu Ming, you, are you a descendant of General Tiance?!"

There was an instant explosion in the camp. The name of General Tiance was known to everyone in Dashuo's millions of troops. His great achievements and magnificent life were admired by every fledgling soldier. and yearning.

Fu Peibai pulled out the Xuanyuan sword behind his back, held it high above his head, and shouted loudly: "Those who are willing to follow me to send troops to the Central Plains and clear up the troubled times, raise the swords in your hands!"

After a moment of silence, a series of "swish—" swords were unsheathed in the camp.

"I am willing!"

"I would too!"

"Sweeping the troubled world!"

"Peace the world!"

In the big camp, shouts came and went, reaching to the sky, and even the ground trembled faintly.

At this moment, Fu Peibai finally understood that what can shake the world has never been the secret treasure of ascending tombs, but the human heart and the aspiration of the people are the greatest weapon to shake the world.

Qu Feng on the beacon tower in the distance watched this scene and murmured: "Third Brother, I seem to see that Big Brother is back."

Long Fei looked at Fu Peibai, who was in high spirits in the camp and was followed by thousands of people, and murmured, "Yes..."

Li Jingming shook his head slightly with a smile, "It means that Ah Pei has no intention of a position of power, otherwise that position must belong to her."

"Don't worry, she won't." Shi Qi said lightly.

Her A Pei, as before, has a frank, sincere and innocent heart.

......

In the first ten days of August in the 18th year of Pingyuan, Meng Yan, Long Fei, and Qu Feng led 20 troops to garrison Xiye, and the remaining [-] troops were organized into the Tiance Army, commanded by Sima Tuo, and marched into the Central Plains. He went down to several cities, and because every time he captured a city, not only would he not burn, kill and loot, but he would properly house the prisoners of war. The people in the city became famous.

So much so that afterward, the hearts of the people were allied, and the gates of the cities they passed were opened wide, and the soldiers and civilians lined up to welcome them.

At the beginning of September in the 18th year of Pingyuan, Tiance's army met the army of King Wu and King Zhou, and the three sides fought fiercely. In the end, the two princes of Wu and Zhou were defeated and killed themselves.

When Fu Peibai and his party invaded the imperial city, the entire palace guards had already fled without armor and helmets. The palace people ran everywhere, and fires broke out everywhere. In the empty hall, King Yan was wearing a dragon-patterned crown and a twelve-pronged crown. , sitting alone on the dragon seat above the high level.

Fu Peibai couldn't help shaking his head. At this moment, King Yan couldn't let go of his dream of being an emperor.

"you lose."

A plain tone instantly changed the face of King Yan on the Dragon Throne. His pale face twisted with excitement, and he yelled frantically: "I didn't lose! Look, I'm already the emperor, and the whole world It's all mine."

Responding to his long sword passing through his chest, Sang Yunshi stared at him coldly, "Go underground and be your emperor." After saying that, she pulled out the long sword mercilessly.

King Yan's eyes widened angrily, and the blood hole in his chest was bleeding profusely. He stretched out his hand unwillingly, as if he wanted to catch the bright golden dragon with long teeth and five claws on the top of the hall, but no matter how he grabbed it, it was all in vain. .

The death of King Yan on the dragon throne also completely announced the end of the battle for the throne that had caused turmoil in the world.

In October of the 18th year of Pingyuan, the new emperor ascended the throne, changed his name to Yong'an, and amnesty the world. In the same year, Emperor Yong'an issued a new policy, lightened corvee, reduced taxes, reduced the army, recuperated, vigorously restored the post-war people's livelihood and economy, and conducted an unprecedented scientific research. The reform allowed women to become officials, and even during the Yong'an period, countless outstanding female generals and ministers capable of governing the world emerged.

The common people are all grateful to Emperor Yong'an Li Jingming, and call him the Mingjun of the prosperous age. No one knows that behind all this is the woman who has a great influence on Emperor Yong'an.

As early as the day when Li Jingming ascended the throne, Fu Peibai left the capital with Seventeen. The two traveled together, watching the people who rebuilt their homes along the way, and the soldiers who returned home to embrace and cry with their relatives.

They originally planned to go south to visit the coastal cities, and then go north to enjoy the scenery of the northern country. After that, they would find a secluded mountain forest to build a house and hide from the world.

"Brother Fu, it would be a pity if you leave like this. Besides, didn't you promise me that you would rebuild the Mingxiao sect when these mundane matters are settled?"

Fu Peibai looked at Shiqi, smiled dryly and said, "Brother Wen, there is something I have never found the right time to tell you."

"What's the matter?"

"Actually, I'm not a man, and besides, I don't have this ambition, so it's up to you to complete the rebuilding of Mingxiao."

Wen Moyao opened his eyes wide and stammered, "You, are you a woman?"

Fu Peibai nodded with a smile, and was about to leave with Shiqi, but was stopped by Wen Moyao again.

"No, so what if you are a woman. Senior Yan never said that women cannot enter Mingxiao. No one is more qualified than you to bring the Mingxiao sword to rebuild the Mingxiao sect."

Seeing that Mo Yao was so stubborn, Fu Peibai smiled helplessly, then took off the Ming Xiao Sword from his waist, and looked serious.

She handed the Ming Xiao Sword to Wen Moyao, and said: "Qualification or not can only be judged by what you do after holding the Ming Xiao Sword. If you can uphold the beliefs of Senior Yan, act chivalrously, fight for the strong and help the weak, you He is also qualified to pick up the Ming Xiao Sword and recast the glory of the Ming Xiao School.

I have said before, now that the troubled times are settled, and my wish is fulfilled, I don't want to enter the rivers and lakes again for the rest of my life. In the future, you will take over the Ming Xiao Sword and protect the peace of the rivers and lakes. "

Looking at the extraordinary long sword in front of him, Wen Moyao was stunned, his throat slipped, and he said in a hoarse voice, "I... can I?"

Fu Peibai pressed his shoulder, and stuffed the Mingxiao sword into his palm, "Of course you can."

After a while, Wen Moyao held the Mingxiao sword tightly, looked up at Fu Peibai, his eyes became more determined.

"I understand. In the future, I will be a person worthy of Mingxiao Sword."
