Looking at these half-dead prisoners,

"The Zhongwu Army from Xuzhou?...it turned out to be them..."

Zhou Huaian suddenly felt that the name sounded familiar, and then retrieved it into the database like a flash of lightning, a memory fragment left behind a long time ago.

"This is really an old friend of the enemy of the rebel army who is narrow in the road."

After the Anshi Rebellion, the military towns in the world were like mushrooms springing up after the rain, but the relationship with the court was also very different, and according to the relatives and distant places;

Among them, there are the three towns of Heshuo, which have transformed from the remnants of Anshi rebels, who were born in a rebellious state and had a long-term inheritance, such as Yi Ding, Wei Bo, Zhen Ji, Fan Yang, Cang Jing, Huaixi, and Ziqing, which have varying degrees of independence.

There were also Xuanwu, Zhongwu, Wuning, Heyang, Yicheng, Zhaoyi, Hedong, Shaanxi Guo, Shannandong, Hezhong, Jinshang and other separatist vassal states set up in the Central Plains to fight against and suppress.

There are also military towns that have border and garrison defense nature inherited from the traditional border military system, which are divided into two parts: northwest border and southwest border. The northwest border includes: Fengxiang, Bining, Fufang, Jingyuan, Zhenwu, Tiande, Yinxia, ​​and Lingwu. The southwest border includes: Shannanxi, Xichuan, Dongchuan, Guizhong, Guiguan, Rongguan, Yongguan, Annan, and Lingnan.

Finally, it is the land that spans the "Wu Yue Jing Chu" and has the eight 49 states in the southeast, with special financial resources and vassal states, such as East Zhejiang, West Zhejiang, Xuan She, Huainan, Jiangxi, E Yue, Fujian, Hunan, Jingnan, etc. This is also the main opponent Zhou Huaian has to face at present. Strictly speaking, it is a weak chicken sequence with a very low combat power among the vassal states.

During this period, the combat effectiveness of various towns and troops that had evolved were always the most famous of Chen, Xu, Xu and Cai in Henan and Huaixi, the hinterland of the Central Plains. However, compared with the fierce and perverse Xu's slaves and the natural rebelliousness of Cai's slaves, Chen and Xu Jiedu have always been politically qualified and military-strong since their establishment, and they are highly valued by the court. They have quelled civil strife and sent troops to guard the border.

For example, in many battles such as Yuanhe attacking Huaixi, Changqing used troops to Hebei, and Huichang attacking Zelu, the Zhongwu Army was the main force in the tough battle, and was known as "Zhongwu Army's always called "savvy and brave" and "sharp soldiers in the world".

As a symbol of merit and reward for the court, the emperor of the previous generation also granted the Zhongwu Army the head to wrap the head with Yellow Turban (a banned color used by the Tian family), so it was known as the "Yellow-headed Army". It was famous in Xichuan, Annan and other border areas where it sent troops to guard.

On the other hand, they are also familiar old opponents to the rebel army. Almost half of the defeats and setbacks encountered by Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao's peasant uprising army in the early days fell into the hands of Zhongwu Army; and the battle of Huangmei, which drove Wang Xianzhi to death, was also fought by Zhang Zimian, the deputy envoy and general of Wuwei, and led the four thousand Zhongwu Army under his command.

Later, because of the achievements of Emperor Xizong of Tang who defended and avoided disaster to Xichuan, he became a vassal state in the name of Zhongwu's Eight Capitals. Wang Jian, one of the eight generals of the capital, obtained the opportunity to unify the Three Sichuans and eventually became the founder of the Five Dynasties Former Shu.

However, Zhongwu Army, the big sign and strong IP in the north, and the number one thug of the court's double flower red stick, has always been active in the north and has basically no historical record of coming to the south of the Yangtze River. Is it because of the changes and chain reactions he brought about? It's like in the early stage of the game, he accidentally hit the big boss monster who won the final victory in the middle and late stages of the game.

Fortunately, the Zhongwu Army gathered together is indeed difficult and very resistant to fighting; but for some reason, the Zhongwu Army, which was scattered around the city and surrounded by several routes, is a live food that has been jumping on the chopping board for a longer time in a sense.

According to the identity and origin of the prisoner, even the eight generals of Zhongwu who were about to achieve great success in the future have already lost Jin Hui here. This made Zhou Huaian both a blessing and a lucky man. The mature military system with a high degree of organization and training is the real confidence to adapt to changes with the same stability.

At this time, Feng Si, who was sent to capture prisoners in front, had not yet returned; Zhou Huaian was just about to adjust and make some arrangements. However, a huge noise broke out again in the inner city, and then it turned into a loud noise around. He couldn't help but wonder, was there a new variable in the city or a counterattack in the Zhongwu military circle?

Then after a while, Zhou Huaian, who was highly alert as if facing a great enemy, roughly understood what had just happened from Feng Si who had returned from smoke and dust.

After a period of battle and advancement, the scholars and people in Yueyang City suddenly walked out of their homes and began to actively assist the rebels in siege and clearance of the officials who were entrenched in the neighborhoods in the city to resist stubbornly.

What kind of the hell is this? After understanding that the opponent is the Zhongwu Army, Zhou Huaian has already made a tragic street battle to fight the whole city to catch the enemy. He even gave up some secondary areas when things are not in harmony, and then retreated to the near-city wall to reorganize and replenish, and then made a long-term plan to continue the battle.

Why did the wind suddenly fall to the rebels? Isn’t it like the scholars and people in Tanzhou City, or at least they remain indifferent and helpless neutral?

.........

After another half a day, the sun gradually sets down west.

There were still the same people on the Yueyang Tower, but the atmosphere and scene were different from the rebels. Because as the Zhongwu Army had not received the defeat of the official army, a new master had been replaced in Yueyang City.

Zhou Huaian, who came here with several entourages, did not have the intention to pay attention to the many people gathered here, and all kinds of eyes and expressions. Instead, he focused all his attention on the lobby on the first floor of the main building, and many lacquered carved wall panels and their inscriptions. Because those wall panels were engraved with masterpieces from this dynasty:

There are Du Fu's "Climbing Yueyang Tower", Li Bai's "Climbing Yueyang Tower with Twelve Xia" and "Stay Farewell to Jia Sheren to Two Poems", Meng Haoran's "Gift to Prime Minister Zhang by Dongting Lake", Han Yu's "Farewell to Dou Sizhi on Yueyang Tower", Yuan Zhen's "Yueyang Tower", Li Shangyin's "Yueyang Tower", Liu Yuxi's "Dongting Autumn Moon", Lu Wen's "Nostalgia for Yueyang"...

The most recent one is the contemporary master doctor, Zheng Gu, a bachelor of the Partridge, who left a "Farewell" behind. Of course, it is more of the empty wall panels, and there is obviously no more question sentences that can be compared with it.

At this moment, Zhou Huaian's soul of Wenchaogong was burning again. As the saying goes, "There is a title of Li Du before, and it's better not to be famous..." Then he turned his mind and walked a few steps, and then recited Zhao Yi's "Five Poems on Poems·The Second" loudly:

"The poems of Li Du and Du are circulated in thousands of words,

It's not new yet."

At this time, the guests upstairs and downstairs were shocked and burst into a low laugh. Some people shook their heads secretly or smiled bitterly from them, obviously thinking that they were worthy of being thieves. Even the poems were so straightforward and too low in style.

Only when they laughed and their emotions were almost brewing, Zhou Huaian continued:

“There are talents in the world,

Each has been leading the way for hundreds of years.”

Then the upstairs and downstairs became completely quiet, and then it turned into an uproar of uncontrollable amazement and emotion. Some people stood up and knocked down the table, accidentally fell down the cups and the noise caused by the noise.

It's like a little trick or a little bit of a glittering second sentence, which suddenly turns the ordinary front-end poems and essays into the majestic and grand atmosphere that spans the long river of eternal times, and does not allow the ancestors and famous scholars to be majestic and grand.

Therefore, there are even people who beat their hands and stamped their feet and lamented at all costs. Why is this masterpiece that is worthy of the world, not obtained by contemporary poets, but made by the figures of the thief who are as humble as dust? Is it so far that the world has declined and the world is upside down?

"One eye must be based on one's own initiative, and all the art gardens are full of yellow.

Dwarves never saw them watching the show, they always tell their shortcomings."

As these two lines of poetry were recited, many people's faces suddenly changed color, and their faces turned red as if they were covered by a palm. Isn't this openly mocking them all for those who are blind and ignorant of literary talent?

"Okay, at least his poem is not considered as appropriate in Yueyang Tower."

There are also people who can comfort themselves and friends in private, and that if they are not particularly embarrassed, they are the local scholars.

However, after trying the appetizers briefly, Zhou Huaian decided to use his big move again.

He asked someone to carry a wall panel over, and then copied the monk Jue styles such as "Huaisu Tie" and "Yixing Tie" from below, and Yuan Jing, who wrote good calligraphy, stood next to a small table with the four treasures of the study, and recorded the book "Suai Honour" on it after a few strokes.

Zhou Huaian then cleared his throat and said:

"At the end of the autumn of the third year of Wangba, the rebel army restored Baling County. The city fell, the people were in a state of peace, and all the wastes were prosperous. So he climbed to Yueyang Tower and looked at the poems and essays of ancient and modern sages on it. I wrote an essay to record it."

"I see the beautiful appearance of Baling in Dongting. I hold the distant mountains and swallow the Yangtze River. It is vast and endless; the morning sunset is sunset and sunset is full of atmospheres."

So, the noise and noise from the upstairs calmed down again, leaving only the clear and deaf-hearted reading sounds, as well as the rustling sound of the Tuhaohu Lake pen writing on the board:

"If the rain is drizzling, the moon is not blooming, the wind is roaring, the turbid waves are empty; the sun is hidden, the mountains are hidden; business trips are not running, the mound is falling; the twilight is dark, tigers are roaring and apes are crying. When climbing this building, there are those who go to the country and worry about slander and ridicule, and look very sad."

"And some smoke is gone, the bright moon is thousands of miles away, the floating light leaps gold, the quiet shadow sinks into the jade, and the fisherman's songs answer each other, how is this joy? When you climb this building, you will feel relaxed and happy, forget about favors and disgraces, and drink wine in the wind, and you will be happy."

When Zhou Huai installed his style and pretended to be light and calm, he had already moved away for a long time; the upstairs and downstairs were still silent, and he was also immersed in the last words of Tao Ran;

"He must say, "Be worried about the world first, and be happy about the world later." Alas! Who will I return with such a person?

Even though no one stood up for a long time, he felt that he had witnessed the birth of a legend with his own eyes, and the tide in the center of his chest was surging, as if there were countless unspeakable feelings that had nowhere to be vented.
