Fu Song

Chapter 697
The existence of the Western Army was the result of Xiao Cheng's painstaking planning from the very beginning.

All the way to get Xiao Ding's Guangrui Army from Hebei Road to Shaanxi Road, Xiao Cheng didn't know how many hairs he lost to get this thing done.

And after the Guangrui army arrived in the northwest, in order for them to stand firm and survive and develop here, Xiao Cheng worked hard for it.

Build the Shentang Fort, hook up the Hengshan Party Item, dig a hole for Li Xu step by step, and let that guy jump in.

The Guangrui Army took the place of the Xingnan Army and started the mode of farming development there.

In Xiao Cheng's heart, Xi Jun is really like one of his children.

Although the child is far away from his parents now,
But if the kid wants to break out,

Xiao Cheng would definitely not allow it.

Even in the most difficult time for Xiao Cheng, he never let go of his support to the Western Army.

Money, materials, and even the most advanced ordnance manufacturing technology have always been designed to satisfy the Western Army.

But just as a child's strength begins to grow, and he is far away. At the same time, there are many new friends around him. I feel that my strength is getting stronger and stronger, and I am no worse than my parents, so I want to set up my own family to get rid of the parents' wishes. It became more and more intense, and at this time, it was necessary to slap him hard a few times.

In the Western Army, old people like Tuoba Yangwei, Ren Duozhong, Ye Liqi, Xifeng Ada, etc. are still full of awe of Da Song, because in the past, no matter whether it was Li Xu or Xiao Ding, they only With the power of an army, they can be suppressed until they lose their temper.

Although there is only half of the Great Song Dynasty left, and its strength is far inferior to that of the past, Xiao Chongwen alone is enough to make them think twice.

On the contrary, those rising stars don't have so many old worries, and think that the current competition between the two powers is the best chance for them to become independent.

As soon as it was daylight, Xiao Jing got up, neatly dressed in bunts, and went straight out the door to the backyard.

The ground is made of Sanhe soil, which is extremely solid, and there are several rows of weapon racks beside it, with eighteen kinds of weapons.There are also some equipment that are difficult to see outside but Xiao Jing is very familiar with.

For example, barbells, dumbbells, parallel bars, horizontal bars and other things.

In the palace of Xingqing Mansion, these things are also readily available. According to my parents, these things that are still very novel outside, but my second uncle prepared them in the mansion when I was very young.Later Xiao Ding tried it and found it very effective, so he also learned it.

But there was already someone in the backyard at this time, standing at the gate of the moon, Xiao Jing recognized at a glance that it was his second uncle, Xiao Cheng.

Even though it has been more than ten years since we saw each other, Xiao Jing knew it clearly at a glance.

I drank a few more glasses last night. Speaking of which, my uncle's drinking capacity is really scary, and that little girl Xiao Ning is also contributing to the flames. I am a big man, but I am a bit confused by them.

Otherwise, I should have seen my second uncle last night.

Xiao Cheng turned his head, looked at Xiao Jing who was a little dazed, and said with a smile, "Why did you get up so early? Your aunt said you drank too much."

Xiao Jing was a little surprised, his face was hot, and he said: "I wake up at this time every day for morning class, I'm used to it. My nephew is really rude, I should have called on my second uncle last night!"

"A family, where are there so many rules? Naturally, you can do as you feel comfortable! Your mother is fine, but the rules are too big. When I was at home in Tokyo, I was most afraid of your mother. Speak softly He is gentle and not annoyed, but he just uses you in every sentence and pokes your weakness, so that you can't argue with it!" Xiao Cheng jumped up, hung himself on the horizontal bar, faced Xiao Jing, and said with a smile : "Is she still like that now?"

Xiao Jing suppressed his laughter, Xiao Cheng was really right, even his own father was a little afraid of his mother.

"Do you want to compare?" Looking at his nephew, Xiao Cheng said with a smile: "You are familiar with how to play these things, right? I guess you must be inferior to your father, and you should be inferior to me!"

Xiao Jing raised his eyebrows, looking at Xiao Cheng's well-proportioned lines, he could tell that his figure was full of strength, and he knew that his uncle must often play with these things, but how much time does a civil servant have to indulge in these things? ?
And I am the strongest among them.

Among the Western Army, there are not many warriors who are truly stronger than him.

Although I am not as good as Lao Tzu, I am also a rare titan.

Eager to try, he came to the end, "Second Uncle, my nephew won't let you!"

Xiao Cheng laughed loudly: "Boy, it is a good thing to have self-confidence, but if you are too self-confident, that is pride. Today, let's see your second uncle teach you a lesson!
Then, Xiao Jing was taught a lesson.

He was crushed in all directions.

Not only on these equipments, but also in the following hand-to-hand combat, he, who was full of hope to win the round, was also pressed to the ground by Xiao Cheng and rubbed.

Lying face up on the ground looking at the blue sky, Xiao Jing really couldn't figure it out, isn't the second uncle a seed for reading?

Parents have never said that the second uncle is actually a master of fighting!

But looking at the methods of the second uncle, it is obvious that he has been immersed in this for many years, his methods are sophisticated and experienced, and his every move is very vicious.

The high-spirited young man was directly convinced by the lesson of the strong man in his early thirties.

My second uncle is really a freak!

A big hand stretched out in front of him, and Xiao Cheng's smiling face appeared in front of his eyes.

Taking advantage of his strength to jump up, Xiao Jing shook his head again and again: "Second Uncle, you can really pretend, is this considered to be pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger? If an assassin touches your face and wants to assassinate him, I'm afraid he will be full of joy." And then there's the boundless fear."

Xiao Jing shook his head: "I practice martial arts for the purpose of building up my body, not for the sake of shady assassins. Your second uncle, as the chief assistant of the Great Song Dynasty, really let an assassin touch me. The assassin will kill him with one stab."

Xiao Jing heard it was interesting and couldn't help laughing.

"Look, since Tokyo was destroyed and Jiangning was established, I announced the names of a hundred traitors. The highest one can be named a marquis, and the lowest can be a county baron. But look at these years, but Has anyone ever succeeded? Those people are like this, let alone assassinate me!"

"That's true!" Xiao Jing nodded and said, "It's like our Daxia Palace, it looks calm and calm from the outside, nothing special, but in fact the security is tight beyond people's imagination."

Xiao Cheng grasped the parallel bars with both hands and jumped lightly, he was already sitting on them, he turned his head and waved, signaling Xiao Jing to sit up too.

Xiao Jing was slightly taken aback, but looking at Xiao Cheng, who was at ease above him, he finally jumped up and sat up.

Looking up and down at Xiao Jing, even though he was his own second uncle, under the gaze of those eyes, Xiao Jing was a little at a loss.

"Do you know why your father asked you to come here?" Xiao Cheng asked suddenly.

Xiao Jing was a little tongue-tied, for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

You know, when he came, his master Zhang Yuan told him that he wanted him to find out the truth of the Great Song Dynasty so that the Western Army could make a decision about which way to go next, but how could he say this to the second uncle? ?
"Do you want to be emperor?" Xiao Cheng asked the second time, which made Xiao Jing even more stunned.

"I..." I wanted to deny it, but looking at those eyes opposite, Xiao Jing hesitated again.

Yes, he really thought so.

Great Xia King Xiao Ding is now entrenched in the Northwest, his troops are approaching the Western Regions, and he is powerful in the Qingtang. He has hundreds of thousands of people who control strings, and he travels thousands of miles. And he Xiao Jing, the eldest son of the Great Xia King, his uncle is the capital of the Great Song Dynasty , my aunt is the Empress Dowager Chengtian of Daliao, why can't she be the emperor?

"It seems that I really thought about it!" Xiao Cheng said with a smile: "Jing'an, do you know your second uncle's dream when I was young?"

"I know!" Xiao Jing said: "Father told me that since you were young, you wanted to let the Song Dynasty rule the world, and you have been making arrangements in silence. Whether it is military or economic, the westward movement of the Guangrui Army is With all your efforts, without you, the Western Army would not be where it is today."

Xiao Cheng smiled: "Your father only knows one thing, but not the other. Letting the Great Song Dynasty rule the world is just a dream of mine, not my ultimate goal!"

"That doesn't count? Then what goal can be greater than this one?" Xiao Jing was at a loss.

"Of course there is." Xiao Cheng said: "My dream since I was a child is to control my own destiny, not in the hands of others. Let's make a decision!"

"You also want to be emperor?" Xiao Jing's eyes widened. In his opinion, one's own destiny is in his own hands. Isn't that something only the supreme emperor in the world can do?
Xiao Cheng laughed loudly: "Why do you want to be the emperor? Jing'an, since I was a child, I always thought that it would be enough for the Holy Son of Heaven to rule. In this world, it is enough to leave it to talented people to govern."

"Like you are now?"

The current little emperor in Jiangning is actually the same in essence as the little emperor in Zhongjing in the Liao Kingdom. They are both clay puppets who are at the mercy of others.

"Do you think that in Jiangning, I can make a decision with one word, and I am a powerful minister?"

Xiao Jing smiled without saying a word.

"Then you are wrong." Xiao Cheng said: "Since the development of Guizhou Road, I have been working hard to establish a new system. All things must not be decided by one person, but need Relying on a system or a collective to make decisions together. One person’s skills are weak, and everyone’s skills are strong. It will last a long time. The reason why the outside world thinks that Jiang Ning has the final say on everything is because until now So far, your second uncle and I haven’t made any mistakes in major political policies. There are always more people who support me than oppose me, so whatever your second uncle wants to do can be realized. But Jing’an, if One day, there will be more people who oppose me than those who support me, then your second uncle and I will have to step down, and someone who can get more support will come on stage."

"Aren't you afraid of people taking political interest?"

"Naturally not afraid. Good policies can stand the test of time and stay for a long time. Bad policies, even if they are removed, there is no pity. Policy has always been a matter of one moment and another moment , What is suitable and good in front of you, after a period of time, it is very likely to become bad and evil. The rhetoric of the immutable ancestors' law is all nonsense. Change will make sense, and rule will not hurt. Times, times, People are different, and policies will naturally change accordingly.”

"Do you think the emperor can't do these things well? In the past, there were Yao and Shun, Qin Huang, Han Wu, Tang Zong..."

"Where is the empire they built?" Xiao Cheng asked back.

Xiao Jing was speechless for a moment.

"Of course the emperor also has good, virtuous ones, but who can guarantee that he will be good all his life, what about all virtuous ones? Even if he is virtuous all his life, he will die eventually. Will his descendants still be wise? Once his descendants become stupid He fell, fell, and what awaits him is the fate of subjugation. Look at the fate of Zhao Suo and Zhao Jing. Do you think it is interesting to be such an emperor? Even if you become the emperor as you wish, but you want your Will future generations end up like Zhao Suo and Zhao Jing in the future? Zhao Jing died miserably, but Zhao Suo, alive now, is worse than dead, right?"

"So, my long-standing dream is to turn the emperor into a Bodhisattva, and it is enough to make offerings, and this world will naturally be governed by sages selected from all over the world. These sages will not be one person, but will be A lot of people are a group, and a group governs the world, so the world can be peaceful for a long time. As for the matter of unifying the world, as long as we do the above things well, it will be a matter of course."

Xiao Jing remained silent.

"The Western Army does not have the conditions to be self-reliant, whether it is now or in the future!" Xiao Cheng said: "Whether it is our Song Dynasty or the Daliao Dynasty, no matter our side wins, the next front will inevitably swing towards a The Western Army who wants to be independent. Trying to convince you with words alone is very pale. Next, take a good look at our side and compare the power gap between the two sides! This power is not just force, There are also economic, cultural and other aspects, Jingan, the gap in comprehensive strength between the two sides will make you dispel this unrealistic idea."

"Second uncle, what if we choose aunt's side in the future?"

Xiao Cheng was silent for a moment and said: "That's nothing, it's just a fight together!"

"Is Second Uncle so confident? Now the Liao Kingdom is stronger than the Song Dynasty! Not to mention the Daliao, even our Western Army has hundreds of thousands of people who control the strings and ride the horses."

"It looks stronger than Song Dynasty!" Xiao Cheng said with a smile: "When you leave Jiangning, come to a conclusion! Jing'an, do you know that in the current war, a three-year-old child can easily kill An age of warriors?"

"How is this possible? Second uncle wants to intimidate me again?"

"Xuhuo is threatening you?" Xiao Cheng laughed loudly, and jumped down from the parallel bars: "Jing'an, come with me, I have prepared a gift for you, after seeing such a gift, it might be impossible if you say it again Bar!"
