Beside the road to the West outside Bianliang City, Luda, a strong and powerful man, paid farewell to his master and his uncle LV Yan in tears.
After six years of hard work, 21-year-old Luda only needs to go to the battlefield to refine the essence of martial arts he has learned. Serving the country in the army and killing the enemy is also his wish. Therefore, it finally came to the day when he reluctantly left his master. After that, Luda would go straight to Yanzhou and join the Western song army.
In fact, there was no official name for the Western army in the Song Dynasty. There were only the forbidden army and the Xiang army. In principle, the so-called Western army still belonged to the category of the forbidden army.
At the beginning, the various departments of the forbidden army would take turns to go to the border to fight or change defense. But over time, the nobilities who were good at fighting in the founding period of the people's Republic of China gradually grew old. The second generation of the great song Xun inherited his father's career and became the commander-in-chief and backbone officer of the forbidden army.
Like all dynasties, the second generation of Xun was not as good as their father's generation. However, in other dynasties, fresh blood was always added and famous generals were constantly emerging. However, due to the extreme promotion of culture and suppression of military force, the status of military generals was low, and the national temperament gradually became soft. People generally lost their enthusiasm for practicing martial arts and joining the army.
There are only the second generation of Xun who can't do nothing, but they can't bear the hardships. They like to stay in the prosperous place of the capital. They don't want to go to the border again to fight with the enemy, and they can't stand the bitter cold of the border. As a result, the rotation system of the forbidden army was gradually abolished. In fact, the forbidden army was divided into two parts: the forbidden army stationed in the hinterland of the Central Plains and the border army.
With the signing of the alliance of Chanyuan, there was peace between song and Liao dynasties, and only small-scale wars broke out in the West from time to time. Dangxiang people rose again in Yinzhou and established Xixia state. They fought with Yanzhou border army all day long.
The enemy is the best sharpening stone, so the Yanzhou army of the border army became the most capable and daring army in the Song Dynasty. This is the Western army.
The 800, 000 imperial guards had already lost their bravery forged from the war between blood and fire in the early days of the founding of the dynasty, and now they have become the colorful fists and legs of dandies. Millions of Xiangjun are just millions of jokes. They are made up of refugees who lost their land and went bankrupt. Their combat effectiveness is basically negative.
In the whole Song Dynasty, only the Western army could fight, and only the Western army could compete with the Pi Shi army of Liao state and the most elite iron harrier blade of Xixia.
More than 50 years ago, Nong Zhigao revolted in Guangxi, and the dashing imperial army of the Song Dynasty went to fight the rebellion. As a result, they repeatedly suppressed and defeated the original spark, which almost turned into a prairie fire.
Finally, it was forced by Di Qing and Yang Wenguang to lead the Yanzhou West army to fight in Guangxi, and finally put down the rebellion at one stroke.
Since then, martial arts experts and strong men who are determined to serve the country and kill the enemy will only go to the Western army. If they go to the forbidden army, they will be ridiculed by other heroes. Moreover, the forbidden army can't go in. It has to be related.
Lu Da has something to do with him. His senior brother Lin Chong is the 800, 000 spear and stick coach of the forbidden army. Although Lin Chong has not thousands of such leaders in the forbidden army, and actually has no power, he can barely manage to join the forbidden army and eat royal food.
However, for a hero like Luda who is determined to revenge and defend the country, to let him associate with the dandies in the forbidden army is tantamount to forcing him to turn his back.
Two years ago, Yangyi and Luda left Yanggu County. Before leaving, they were invited to get together by Ximen Qing, a famous local celebrity. They were entertained with good wine and food. Of course, Ximen Qing admires the name of Zhou Dong, the great Xia of Shaanxi Province.
Although he felt that Ximen Qing was a dandy, his friends, such as Hua Zixu, count Ying and Xie Xida, were called "Ten Brothers". These people also have a serious sense of dandy, and even have a strong temperament of mischievous scoundrels. However, they do not smile when they reach out. Their enthusiasm is sincere.
In addition, Ximen Qing has such a trace of carefree school origin. As soon as he has a drink with them, he just refuses to treat them in a long way.
In view of XiMenqing's local villain, Yang Yi asked him to take care of Wuzhi's family before leaving. The official of Ximen immediately patted his chest.
After leaving Yanggu County, Yangyi and Luda went to Wufeng mountain and visited Lao Zhang tou. Before long, Xiao Lu settled down with Wu Song from Chaijia village in Cangzhou, and came here. In the following days, Lu Yan preached in Xingzhou. As soon as Yang Yi and Luda lived at the foot of Xingzhou mountain, they practiced martial arts day and night. The day returned to the rhythm before they met Wu Song.
Later, when the three traveled to Qingzhou, Shandong Province, the amorous little Lu had another object of love. Unfortunately, the other party was a married woman.
Zhao Mingcheng, the son of the prime minister Zhao Tingzhi, is the son of today's Zuo puxie. He takes his new daughter-in-law, who married in Bianliang two years ago, back to his hometown, Qingzhou, to visit his relatives. Zhao Mingcheng, who is fond of gold and stone, and chunyangzi Lvyan, a famous Taoist priest with erudition and great fame, are so familiar at first sight that they wish to communicate with each other every day.
Who knows, dirty Lu Yan has no feelings for him at all. He just admires his wife so much that he can see his wife every day.
Yang and Xiao Lu said, "no, I'll kill Zhao Mingcheng in the evening. You can take her wife to the mountains and become a couple for several years.".
Xiao Lu despised Yang Yi and gnawed his teeth, criticizing his elder brother's dirty soul deeply.
Yang Yi also found that LV Yan, a younger martial brother, likes talented women hopelessly. He just doesn't dare to say or practice. He only likes to do.
Living five hundred years old, he met four brothers, of whom LV Yan was the youngest and most devoted to the temperament of Yang Yi. So if Xiao LV Zhen can marry a talented woman and go home to be a Taoist priest, the sheep will be happy for him from the bottom of his heart.Zhao Mingcheng's wife, Li Qingzhao, is the daughter of Li Gefei, a member of the Ministry of rites.
After Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao returned to Bianliang, LV Yan lost his soul for several days. Because of the relationship between Yang Yi and Zhou Dong, they can't go to Bianliang, the largest city in the world, and it's not beautiful to be knocked down by acquaintances. As soon as the sheep are not afraid, they are worried that Ruda will be cheated too much and his idolatry will collapse.
However, after Zhao Mingcheng returned to Bianliang, he praised Lu Yan in front of his father, Zhao Chengxiang. Then, the next day, Zhao Chengcheng talked about LV Yan again when he had nothing to talk about. Therefore, today's official Zhao Ji thought of Xiao Lu, who was familiar with him.
Zhao Ji was the sixth grandson of Zhao Guangyi and the eighth emperor of the Song Dynasty. The officials of the Zhao and Song Dynasties respected and favored Taoism. By the time Zhao Ji's love reached its peak, he claimed to be the Taoist emperor, and he was not even allowed to call him "official" but "Daojun".
Three years ago, Zhao Ji wanted to establish a system of Taoist officials in the dynasty after his accession to the throne. It seems that he had an attempt to turn the great song dynasty ruled by Confucius and Mencius into a state of Zong Jiao with the unity of politics and politics. As a matter of fact, if Zhao Ji went to practice Taoism, or became a calligrapher, a writer, a connoisseur, a painter, a musician, a doctor, or a gardener He can be a university counselor in almost anything.
Zhao Ji's only unsuitable occupation is to be emperor.
The emperor Zhao Ji thought of LV Yan and ordered him to come to Bianliang as soon as possible to preside over the compilation of Taoist classics collection "Da Dao Zang".
As a result, as soon as Yang entered the Zhaowen library to read, he had to drive Luda away.
