Yongzhou is located in the Ping Business Road of the great Sui Dynasty. The first emperor takes the word Ping business. This literally means the simplest, because it was once a Shang state and was destroyed by him. However, if the Sui Dynasty goes through the second century smoothly, the people of Pingshang road may forget the meaning of the word Pingshang.

But not yet.

It has only been more than 20 years since the Sui Dynasty destroyed business. People in their twenties and thirties are now at the age of nostalgia. Once they lose something, people often remember the benefits of this thing. For example, lovers, when you let go of the hand that you have held for many years and hated, you may curl up in bed in the dead of night and cry humbly to remember your lost beauty.

Often at this time, the beauty will occupy a person's heart.

The same is true of the people in pingshangdao. Young people under the age of 20 have not experienced the war. Their impression of the Shang country comes from the memories of their parents after dinner. In the old man's memory, Shang is a beautiful place comparable to heaven.

It's better to say that such feelings can be called nostalgia. What's hard to say is hypocrisy.

When the Shang state perished, the country had rotted to the point of being difficult to clean up, otherwise the Sui army would not be so powerful even if it was elite. How many Shang people waved flags and shouted for the Sui army? How many Shang soldiers defected? How many merchants lined up to welcome?

In just over 20 years, people's hearts have changed.

Because the people found that the beauty they expected did not come in full. Although the great Sui Dynasty gave many preferential policies to the people in the southwest, it was impossible for any court to be absolutely fair and just. Therefore, some extremists must jump out to recall the subjugated country that once hurt millions of people. In their mouth, everything in the great Sui Dynasty is rubbish, and everything in the passing Shang country is beautiful.

When there are more such people, there will always be a doctor who specializes in such people. Use your own scalpel to cut off the sick, and cut off your head by the way.

The doctor's name is Luo Yao.

Some people call him Luo butcher, others call him Luo Manzi.

But everyone had to call him general Luo Da!

Seven years ago, Ruyi County, sui'an County, Pingshang Road, broke out the first rebellion against the unified rule of the great Sui Dynasty under the secret planning of a man who changed his name to chasing business. If this kind of thing succeeds, it can be renamed uprising. If it fails, it can only be rebellion.

The man called chasing business is a man with divine potential. He secretly worked in Ruyi County for three years and persuaded a large number of people to join the Ruyi religion he founded. Even Ruyi county magistrate and county Cheng became his disciples, giving him a large number of gold and silver jewelry and two beautiful concubines.

Seven years ago, chasing businessmen arrogantly thought they could stand on the opposite of the great Sui Dynasty. So he called on the people to pick up everything they could call weapons, dung forks, hoes, iron pots, rolling pins... At first, thousands of loyal followers of Ruyi sect attacked and occupied the county, and then the disciples of Ruyi sect began to hype that pursuing business was the reincarnation of the right man.

What is the right man?

How can people believe that he is the right one?

Simple.

Chasing merchants asked people to dig out a stone engraved with big characters in the river. If they wrote a few words on the stone, they could fool a large number of people. Then he pretended that he could be possessed by Ruyi's ancestor, and said some so-called prophecies, which deceived a large number of people. He was followed by people to publicize that in fact, he was the prince who remained anonymous after the demise of the Shang state, so he cheated a large number of people.

As for what is Ruyi, the devil knows what it is. However, in the description of pursuing business, even King Dalun Ming wants to pay homage to Ruyi's ancestor.

God's prophecy.

Royal blood.

These have always been the most convincing things for the foolish people. They are even more convinced of the so-called crown prince of the Shang state than the emperor who has exempted their money and grain taxes for seven or eight years in succession. When he felt that he had controlled Ruyi county and could expand his "land" to the outside world, he did not hesitate to pursue business. He immediately appointed Ruyi county magistrate as prime minister and county magistrate as marshal of troops and horses, calling on Ruyi believers to gather and form an army.

At that time, the matter was very noisy.

However, general Luo Yao's handling of this matter was so simple that people had to sigh.

Luo Yao, who was practicing calligraphy in his study at that time, heard his subordinates' report. He didn't stop. Instead, the worker finished writing a seven Jue before he put down his pen. He asked his men where Ruyi county is? His men unfolded the map and showed it to him. After looking at it, Luo Yao picked up the wolf hair he had just practiced calligraphy, changed a circle where Ruyi county was on the map, and then pointed to the circle and said a word faintly.

"Not here"

As a result, 20000 left avant-garde elite armor drove into Ruyi County, not only there were no people left, but also no chickens and dogs left. After the army goes in, it will kill everyone. Where does it matter whether it is a traitor or not? The ambitious leader of Ruyi cult chased Shang and his prime minister and marshal, who were so frightened that they abandoned their followers and fled in a panic. The so-called rebellion in Ruyi county was killed by Zuo Qianwei in three days.

Killed 167329 traitors.

Since then, Ruyi religion has disappeared, but occasionally I can hear that the dealer appeared somewhere to continue to publicize what God designated the right man he is. However, this man has a long memory after suffering a loss and will never stay in one place for more than two days. He thinks he is magnificent, but he continues to live like a clown.

When Fang Xie heard Luo Yao's indifferent words to put an end to the Ruyi rebellion, the ship had just entered the Pingshang road. The one who told him this story was Ye Jinnan, a general of Zuo Qianwei Sipin Lang. No one is more familiar with the slaughter in Ruyi County than ye Jinnan, because he was one of the participants.

And the story that came out of his mouth is the most real and exciting.

Fang Xie always had those five words in his mind. After listening to the story, he was still floating in his mind.

Not here

What a hard-hearted person can say these five words like this? More than 160000 people were killed, and the dead bodies could be half as high as Mount Mangdang. But can you say they don't deserve it? Can you say they're innocent? You can call Luo Yao a butcher and a barbarian, but you can't throw your sympathy to those who were killed.

……

……

"It's only here that we enter Pingshang road. It's 760 miles away from Yongzhou City."

After telling the story, ye Jinnan took a sip of tea, looked at the water surface cut by the big ship and murmured, "I didn't expect that life passed so quickly. Think about it. It seemed that it was yesterday when he went to the imperial capital under the command of the great general. In a twinkling of an eye, it was like a few months. But he finally came back. Lord Fang, I've finished my job when you came to Yongzhou."

Fang Xie smiled, looked at the map and asked, "can't the waterway go straight to Yongzhou?"

"No, let's get off the boat in anlai county. We should take the land route. If we have about 500 miles left, we can get to Yongzhou City in three or five days. I've sent someone back to report first, and the senior general has sent someone to meet the imperial envoy."

Yejin South Road: "Originally, this river led directly to Yongzhou City, but when the Shang Dynasty was destroyed, the Sui Dynasty's water division headed south from Luoshui. In order to stop the water division, the emperor of the Shang Dynasty did not hesitate to let people dig the river embankment. As a result, Luoshui changed its course and flooded tens of thousands of mu of grain fields. It turned the north of Yongzhou into a wasteland, but the emperor of the Shang Dynasty didn't expect that the great general led his troops across the swamp and tens of thousands of people The army lost 30%, but took advantage of the merchant's carelessness and directly entered Yongzhou. "

Fang Xie could understand why Luo Yao was so determined. The river changed its course and flooded thousands of acres of fertile land. It was impossible to wait until the water retreated for a few months. It would take a lot of time to detour. However, Fang Xie could understand that it was not equal to Fang Xie's recognition that 30% of the elite fell into the swamp. Therefore, Luo Yao's ruthlessness was not only to the enemy, but also to his own people.

But then I thought he could kill his own son. What's this?

"At that time, when Luoshui changed its course, the Shang people in Yongzhou thought that our soldiers of the great Sui Dynasty would be stopped. It is said that the Shang emperor also gave a big banquet to the officials. Some loyal officials said that even if countless people drowned and blocked the Sui army, they should not celebrate, but were strangled by the Shang emperor. How could such a confused emperor and such a corrupt court stop the essence of the great Sui Dynasty "Sharp teacher?"

Ye Jinnan Zihao said, "although I didn't participate in the war, there are still many old veterans in the general's house. I once heard them say that when the left front guard horse covered with yellow mud suddenly appeared outside Yongzhou City, the Shang people were stunned. They didn't expect that the Sui people were so brave and decisive that the defenders on the city wall couldn't even pull the bow."

"In fact, the army was exhausted after crossing the swamp, so it was impossible to attack the city immediately. But I didn't expect that the Shang people were in chaos first. The Shang ministers in the city were divided into two factions, one was in charge of the war and the other was in charge of the surrender. Finally, the two sent people to fight. The main battle was all military generals, so it became easier after the fight. They sent troops to kill all the ministers in charge of the surrender, and then Prepare to call on the people to defend the city. "

"But at this time, one thing made the hearts of the people of the Shang country very upset."

Yejin South Road: "The emperor of the state of Shang was ready to quietly send the queen and his two sons out of Yongzhou when the whole city was mobilized. The army of the state of Shang patrolling the city found out and took his two sons, and the queen was forced to commit suicide. The emperor of the state of Shang was so angry that he ordered to kill several generals who were the main battle. The people in Yongzhou immediately became chaotic. Who still wants to help such an emperor defend the city?"

"As a result, the left avant-garde army was ready to attack the city, and someone from the Shang army on the city wall raised a white flag. It took little effort to conquer Yongzhou City, but it encountered some difficulties when attacking the imperial city. The Imperial Palace was guarded by the forbidden army, which killed the generals who killed the empress. The total number was only 2000, but they fought to death. Not only that, the Shang emperor still kept them around There are many capable and different people of barbarians. "

"However, the general personally led his troops forward, and the emperor's forbidden army was wiped out before long."

Ye Jinnan drank the tea in the cup: "I heard from the veterans that the general killed one person in front of the imperial palace of the state of Shang, and even killed more than 20 expert guards of the royal family of the state of Shang. It was even more that one punch shocked the eight grade talisman... I haven't seen any of the eight grade talisman in my life."

Fang Xie has heard of some of these past events.

But not as intuitive and clear as ye Jinnan said.

He has heard too much about Luo Yao. Every time he hears it, he feels different in his heart.

Anlai County

In a dilapidated temple that had been abandoned for a long time, a group of people knelt on the ground to worship a man in a linen robe. The man is about fifty years old and tall. Wearing plain clothes on him, there was a sense of immortality. His hair came loose and hung over his chest.

His hands overlap in front of his lower abdomen, palms facing up. The left hand is superimposed on the right hand, and the thumb forms a circle relative to the palm.

His face was white and his eyes were bright.

"I am the messenger chosen by the gods and the last royal family of the Shang country. The man who changed his name to Murong shame shamelessly stole my country and people and betrayed the great Shang country. Now I'm back... Just like the Phoenix burned by fire, it will never die. My will will will turn into rain and dew on the world, so that everyone can see the world."

He released his hand and opened his arms. "Follow me and you will live forever."
