Chapter 999: Your circle is really messed up

Because both father and brother were working in the Daxia Army, Pei Xingjian, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty who had just appeared in the wilderness, did not hesitate and went to Shanhai City that day, looking forward to reunion with his father and brother.

Pei Xingjian was born in the family of the "Hedong Pei Family". He was named Su Dingfang, a famous general, taught the magic of military use. He served as the military officer of Zuotun Wei Cangcao, the chief of the Xizhou Governor's Office, and the Anxi Protector.

During the Western Regions, many countries admired Yi and surrendered.

Later, he served as the chief of the left second army of Taozhou Road and the chief of the right army of Qinzhou, and participated in the defense of Tubo. In the first year of Diaolu, he planned to capture the rebellious Khan Ashinafuyanduzhi of the ten Western Turkic surnames. He was promoted to the Minister of Rites and the General of the Right Guard for his merits, and held both civil and military positions.

The following year, the Eastern Turkic Ashide Wenfu and Ashina Funian tribes defeated the troops of the Eastern Turkic tribes.

It is not difficult to see from Pei Xingjian's resume that this brave general not only has the style of his father before he falls, but also has a vague attitude of "being better than being better than being a blue", especially having rich combat experience in Tubo and Turks.

With Pei Xingjian's talent, there should be no problem in commanding a legion.

However, there is no vacant position for the commander of the Daxia army at present, Ouyang Shuo could only temporarily place Pei Xingjian under the command of General Elai of the Wuwei Army and serve as the deputy commander of the Fourth Corps of the Imperial Guards. He just thought that he was familiar with the Daxia military system in advance and was promoted in the future.

[Name]: Pei Xingjian (king level)

【Dynasty】: Tang Dynasty

【Identity】: Deputy Commander of the Fourth Corps of the Imperial Guards

【Profession】: Senior General

【Loyalty】: 78 points

[Commander]: 78    【Military power】: 70    【Intellect】: 55    【Politics】: 65

[Special Features]: Virtuous General (increase the attack power of the troops by 25%, increase the speed of the troops by 20%)

【Books】: "Caughty Character Miscellaneous" and "Selected Credits", etc.

[Evaluation]: Be frugal and forgive, be generous in teacher ethics, know people's good deeds, and be elegant and polite.

Before Pei Xingjian took office, Ouyang Shuo smiled and said, "I will allow you to take office again after the New Year. While the Spring Festival is approaching, you can go to the Feixiong Army headquarters first to visit your father and brother so that your father and son can reunite."

It is now January 18, 2016, and another month is New Year's Eve.

"Thank you for your grace!"

Pei Xingjian was very excited and looked very excited.

Ouyang Shuo waved his hand and said, "If you really want to thank me, I will contact your mentor General Su Dingfang more."

As a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, Su Dingfang first served under Li Jing's command, and then began to stand alone. He was highly appreciated and trusted by Emperor Gaozong of Tang for his extraordinary achievements and integrity, and was entrusted with important tasks many times.

During this period, Su Ding Fang conquered the Western Turks, flattened the Pagoda Mountains, erected Baekje, and attacked Goguryeo. He destroyed the three kingdoms before and after, and captured their masters alive. He expanded the territory of the Tang Dynasty westward to the Aral Sea in Central Asia, and the border directly to Persia, extending eastward to the southern part of the Korean Peninsula.

How could Ouyang Shuo have no idea about such a famous general?

Although there are many famous generals in the Great Xia Dynasty and many powerful generals, no one will think that there are too many. Moreover, the Great Xia army will continue to expand, so no matter how many generals there are, they can be arranged.

Pei Xingjian once served as a civil and military official, so he naturally understood at one point and said with a fist: "Please rest assured that the king will fulfill his mission. I believe that his mentor is also very willing to work in Daxia."

Strictly speaking, Su Dingfang was a general during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, and the current Chang'an court must be controlled by the twenty-four heroes of Emperor Taizong's Lingyan Pavilion. Su Dingfang was not able to be reused if he joined the Tang Dynasty.

The key is that the Tang Dynasty is only one county, and there is no place for military generals to play.

Ouyang Shuo believed that with Pei Xingjian's relationship, he would show his sincerity and sooner or later he would be able to bring a general like Su Dingfang under his command and add another general to the Daxia army.

…………

It’s a coincidence that on the second day after Pei Xingjian came, another fierce Tang Dynasty general came to join us, and this time the person who came was not alone, but a whole family.

It is the Xue clan in Hedong, with Xue Rengui as the core.

Xue Rengui was born in the southern ancestor of the Xue family in Hedong. He joined the army at the end of Zhenguan. He fought for decades. He defeated the nine surnames Tiel, subdued Goguryeo, defeated the Turks, and made outstanding achievements, leaving behind stories such as "good strategies and wars", "three arrows to determine the Tianshan Mountains", "sharply to conquer Liaodong", "benevolent Goryeo Kingdom", "love the people, Xiangzhou City", "take off the hat and retreat ten thousand enemies".

He became the chief of Guazhou, the general of the right-leading guard, the chief of the Daizhou governor, and the Duke of Pingyang County.

The Xue family in Hedong was first traced back to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and was a descendant of the famous general Xue Andu. Xue Rengui's great-grandfather Xue Rong was appointed as the prefect of Xinye, Northern Wei, Wuguan County, and the governor, and was granted the title of Duke of Chengcheng County. His grandfather Xue Yan was appointed as the doctor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. His father Xue Gui was appointed as the Zanzhu of Xiangcheng County of the Sui Dynasty.

The most special thing is Xue Rengui's eldest son Xue Na, who was promoted to General Zuo Yulin. Xue Na is the prototype of Xue Dingshan in Romance novels and the husband of Fan Lihua, a generation of female generals.

It is precisely because of this relationship that the Xue clan in Hedong chose to rely on Daxia as a whole.

Ouyang Shuo naturally enjoyed seeing this.

At present, there are many aristocratic families in Daxia, such as the Pei family headed by Pei Ju, the Xiahou family headed by Xiahou Ying, the Huo family headed by Huo Qubing, and the Wuma of Xiliang, etc.

However, because Daxia has a complete system of talent selection and official assessment, aristocratic families cannot control the government's affairs and the court's employment, and will only bring a large number of talents to the court.

Like Pei Xingjian, Ouyang Shuo temporarily arranged for Xue Rengui to serve in the Third Army of the Imperial Guard, and also made arrangements for Xue Andu, Xue Rong, Xue Yan, Xue Gui and others.

As for Xue Ne, it depends on whether Fan Lihua accepts it or not.

[Name]: Xue Rengui (Emperor level)

【Capital】: One of the top ten powerful generals in Chinese history

【Dynasty】: Tang Dynasty

【Identity】: Deputy Commander of the Third Corps of the Imperial Guard Army

【Profession】: Senior General

【Loyalty】: 75 points

[Commander]: 70    【Military power】: 90    【Intellect】: 50    【Politics】: 50

[Special Features]: The bravest army is the best (improve the morale of the army by 40%, increase the attack power of the army by 35%, increase the speed of the army by 25%)

[Evaluation]: Rengui is brave and brave, and is a hero of the moment. He is loyal and broad-minded and has a strong and vigorous position.

…………

In addition to the two Tang generals, Pei Xingjian and Xue Rengui, Daxia also welcomed several literati and poets this time.

Speaking of this, I have to talk about the circle of poets in the Tang Dynasty. Someone once drew a picture of "Relationships of Some Poets in the Tang Dynasty". After reading it, there was only one sentence: "Your circle is really messy!"

Let’s expand it with Du Fu as a node and briefly describe it.

Du Fu's grandfather Du Shenyan was good friends with Song Zhiwen, and Song Zhiwen was also good friends with Yang Jiong, one of the four heroes in the early Tang Dynasty. Yang Jiong was convinced by Lu Zhaolin, who was the same as the four heroes, but he was extremely disdainful of the "little brat" Wang Bo.

In the same era, Du Fu's "unrequited love" Li Bai was so obsessed with? It's similar to the current fans and rice balls. But Li Bai's "like" was Meng Haoran, who was also a good friend to Du Fu.

This is a mess.

Wang Wei is Meng Haoran's soulmate. Li Bai, who "favors" Meng Haoran, has never had any interaction with Wang Wei at all. You should know that the two of them are almost at the same time.

It's really strange.

Gao Shi was Du Fu's friend, but he also "don't stop" Li Bai, who was "obsessed with" Du Fu, and was also a good friend to Li Bai's friend Wang Changling.

Is it full of gay feelings?!

Don't worry, there is a more bloody plot. In the next generation, Han Yu admires Li Bai, and Liu Yuxi worships Du Fu, but Han Yu is also a political enemy with Liu Yuxi's friend Liu Zongyuan.

Li Du, the "enemy" of Li and Du, can even fight each other.

The most awesome is Du Mu, who directly chose to ignore Li Shangyin who admired him. Bai Juyi once said that he wanted to reincarnate as Li Shangyin's son, but the cold Du Mu directly hated Bai Juyi.

As Bai Juyi's good friend, Yuan Zhen was dissatisfied and chose to persecute Li He, whom Du Mu praised, to exclaim his anger for his good friend Bai Juyi.

Did you feel dizzy when you heard this?

This is just a small part of it. Tang poetry is brilliant, and Tang Dynasty poets are like stars in the Milky Way, shining brightly and brilliantly.

The two brightest ones are naturally the poet Saint Du Fu and the poet Fairy Li Bai.

With Du Fu as the magistrate of Yongye County in Daxia, in the past few days, poets such as Du Shenyan, Meng Haoran, Gao Shi, Liu Yuxi, and Liu Zongyuan rushed to Shanhai City.

Ouyang Shuo did not neglect any of them in this regard.

According to their preferences and nature, they either give gold and silver houses so that they can freely explore the rivers and mountains of Daxia without restraint; or like Du Fu, they can become officials without delay.

Or he was allowed to live in the Lianzhou Basin and live a free and comfortable hermit life; or he was taught at Southwest University and became a well-educated scholar.

In short, no force or restraint.

After spending a lot of money, Ouyang Shuo wanted to win the name of "raising scholars". While improving the cultural index of the dynasty, he also attracted more literati and poets to settle in Daxia.

You should know that these poets are not all idle people, most of them are from imperial examinations, and have had the experience of becoming an official, or have dissatisfied temperaments, or have not received talent, so they use poetry to express their anger and dissatisfaction in their hearts.

When we arrived in Daxia, all these poets could show their strengths and express their ambitions.

The sea embraces all rivers, it is not just a saying.

What is the difference between such a broad mind and demeanor compared to the prosperous Tang Dynasty?!

As soon as the news came out, more literati and poets competed to compete for their success, including Yang Jiong, Lu Zhaolin, Luo Binwang, Han Yu, Bai Juyi, poets Li Shangyin, Li He, etc. among the four great masters of the Tang and Song dynasties.

It can be said that there are many people in the market.

For a moment, Shanhai City, a side courtyard capital located in the southern barbarians, suddenly became rich and splendid, and the literary spirit was destroyed. Huacai Jiuzhou became a new cultural center and no longer the name of barbarians.

Like Han Yu and several other officials who served in the court simply used Shanhai City as their base to form a poetry club, rush for a break, travel with them, or drink and sing, which was very lively and enjoyable.

Taking advantage of the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival, this poetic trend has been pushed to a peak.

Looking at the era when literati and poets can have such freedom and freedom, their thoughts will be further liberated and their talents will be released, like turbulent sea water, which is full of joy.
