Chapter Thirteen, Prime Minister of the Mountains
"Brother Daoist is truly an immortal. This is the first time Fei has seen such martial arts."
Having just experienced a life-and-death battle, Yue Fei's expression was calm and composed, which made Ji Boyi couldn't help but admire him in his heart.
"It's just a joke. It's just a way to cultivate one's moral integrity."
Having followed Liu Haichan for so long, Ji Boyi is very familiar with pretending to be a Taoist master. Although he admires Yue Fei, a national hero, in his heart, it does not prevent him from using some means to improve his reputation in the eyes of the general.
status.
Combined with his powerful display just now, he killed ten assassins with a snap of his fingers, and finally flew out in the air and killed the enemy's head with his palm. Such miracles made Yue Fei's evaluation of Ji Game and the two even higher.
Hong Qi's recommendation was the starting point, Ji Boyi's demeanor was the appetizer, and the skills he just showed made them become Yue Fei's guests.
"I was neglectful just now. Come here, please clean up. Let's have another table of food and wine. I want to have a deep talk with the two Taoist priests."
The sound just now had alerted the soldiers at the door, but after they came in, before they had time to take action, all the killers were killed by Ji Boyi alone. For a moment, they stood there blankly, not knowing what to do. Yue Fei's words
It just made them all wake up. They carried out the ten corpses of killers with blood holes in their foreheads on the floor. While wiping the blood stains, some people looked at Ji Boyi and Liu Haichan with awe in their eyes.
Although Liu Haichan didn't make a move just now, he raised his hand to block all the attacks aimed at Yue Fei, which deeply impressed the well-informed Yue Family Army.
After a while, a banquet table that was even more exquisite than before was set up. Yue Fei didn't say anything more, but was the first to drink. Liu Haichan appreciated this very much. He liked people who drank boldly. On the contrary,
Ji Boyi is nothing like his master. Not only does he not drink alcohol, but he also doesn't like to enjoy food and drink.
In a certain aspect, Ji Game is indeed more in line with Yue Fei's concept of monks. They are misty and come out of the dust, eating the wind and drinking the dew.
While Liu Haichan and Yue Fei were talking, Ji Boyi just drank a few sips of tea and picked a few vegetarian dishes. While showing his personality, he showed off the air of a Taoist master.
"In today's world, the Song Dynasty is suffering from internal and external troubles. I dare to ask what the leader can teach me?"
Generally, Taoist priests with real skills have many ideas for governing the country. The most famous one is Tao Hongjing, who is known as the "Prime Minister of the Mountains".
It was rare for Yue Fei to meet Taoist priests with real skills like Liu Haichan and Ji Game, so he would naturally not forget to ask for advice. Liu Haichan and Ji Game were not afraid of this. Since they were determined to regain the country and restore Han unification, Ji Game usually
While studying, my favorite thing is discussing national affairs with Liu Haichan.
The old Taoist priest claimed to have been a prime minister before he entered Taoism. Ji Gamei was deeply suspicious of this, because at the age of the old Taoist priest, compared with the prime ministers during this period in history, there really was no one with the right title. However, his rich knowledge was wrong.
No, Patriarch Chen Tuan emphasized that "Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism are interlinked, and the three religions have always had the same ancestral style." The nine classics integrate Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism into one. "Yi Long Tu" and "Xian Tian Tu" and other profound
If you are not proficient in the thoughts of the Three Religions, you will not be able to understand the classics.
Lin Chaoying, a girl like Lin Chaoying, listened to the usual arguments between the two with great interest. They quoted scriptures and praised ancient and modern proverbs. During the discussion, both of them maintained their own opinions and also came to some common points. Liu Haichan listened to Yue Fei's words.
After that, he stroked his gray beard, nodded reservedly, and then shook his head. In Yue Fei's puzzled eyes, he said: "The old Taoist has not been out of the world for a long time, and he doesn't know much about the affairs of the current court. Let Zhongfu speak.
Let’s talk. Although this kid is still young, he has learned all the truth about my sect, and what he said still makes some sense. Marshal, please feel free to listen to it.”
Ji Boyi was particularly unaccustomed to Liu Haichan's modesty, but when Yue Fei turned his eyes to him expectantly, he had to act like a master and quoted a passage that his master and disciple usually said.
"There are three major problems today: the Jin bandits, the Pseudo-Qi bandits, and the Yang mo!"
After Ji Boyi finished speaking, Yue Fei's eyes suddenly lit up. This sentence spoke to his heart. It concisely and clearly pointed out the three major problems facing the Song Dynasty today. It felt like there were claws scratching it in his heart, and he couldn't wait.
Asked further.
"May I ask the little Taoist brother if you have any good ideas?"
Ji Game didn't whet his appetite, and talked about the views he and Liu Haichan usually discussed one by one: "Of these three major problems, the first is naturally the Jin Kou, and the second is the Pseudo Qi, but the Pseudo Qi was established with the support of the Jin Kou.
If we want to solve the false dynasty, we must consider it together. Moreover, there are frequent gaps between the two. They are not as close as they appear on the surface. They are foreign invaders. When dealing with them, you can use a borrowing knife. However, compared to the first two
However, Yang Yaocai has a serious problem in his heart, and we must think deeply about it. If it is not extinguished for a long time, it will cause trouble."
In just a few words, Ji Boyi revealed the biggest crisis facing the entire Song Dynasty. When he heard Yang Yao's name, even Yue Fei had a solemn look on his face, and his eyebrows wrinkled slightly, obviously
I am also having a headache on how to deal with this person.
At the end of Jianyan period, in the Hunan uprising army, after Yang Yao killed his nominal leader Zhong Xiang, he led hundreds of thousands of people to occupy the Dongting Lake area and built a village near the lake.
We used chariots and boats to practice water warfare, and continued to compete with the government. We fought against the encirclement and suppression by the government troops at Dingkou, Xiajun River Estuary, and Yangwukou, and won many victories. In the battle of Shemu Village, we used chariots, boats, and water forces to counterattack and annihilated all the defenders.
The Song army grew stronger day by day, causing the imperial court to fear it as a serious threat.
Even at the peak of the Song Dynasty, encountering an insurrectionary army of this size would have been a huge headache, not to mention the current difficult and extraordinary period in which foreign enemies are constantly attacking and attacking, and the country is in crisis and predicament.
"Yes, Yang Yao is so ambitious. In the context of the Chinese nation uniting to defend the country and fight against foreign aggression, he actually ignored the justice of the country and the nation. Not only did he refuse to accept the imperial court's offer of peace, but he continued to separatist forces. He even secretly cooperated with
The puppet Qi traitors colluded with each other in an attempt to attack from the north and the south and strangle the Southern Song Dynasty! If this person is not eliminated, the Song Dynasty will not be stable."
Obviously Yue Fei had already considered this and followed Ji Game's words.
"The Puppet Qi sent Li Cheng to invade with the Jin people, and defeated Xiangyang, Tang, Deng, Sui, Yingzhou and the Xinyang Army. Yang Mo also communicated with the Puppet Qi and wanted to go down the river, and Li Cheng wanted to go overland from Jiangxi.
What's the point of moving towards Zhejiang and Zhejiang? If they really succeed, I'm afraid the Great Song Dynasty will also be doomed."
Regarding the current situation, a monk like Ji Boyi has a very thorough view, and he analyzed the biggest problem of the current situation with a sharp eye.
"Jin Wushu withdrew his troops from Dengzhou after breaking the city. Now the person in charge of the overall situation in Xiangyang is Li Cheng of the Puppet Qi Dynasty. Although this person has superb and slick methods and is able to get by with the Jin people, he is a complete amateur in fighting. The marshal must
It is not difficult to defeat him. The only things to worry about are Jin Kou and Yang Yao's attack."
After saying this, Ji Boyi paused and took a sip of tea. Apparently saying so much at once made him feel dry. At the same time, he took this opportunity to organize the next words. You must know that the following is the most important part of this conversation.
Important climax.
"Fei also thought about this problem and discussed with his staff and came up with some methods. I wonder if Brother Dao has a better strategy."
After listening to Yue Fei's words, Ji Boyi smiled slightly, and his handsome face made the Yellow Crane Tower even more dazzling after the rain.
"It is very simple to deal with Jin Wushu. Everyone knows his ambitions. He has always been in conflict with the left prime minister of the Jin Dynasty, Wanyan Xiyin. Wanyan Dan is about to ascend the throne. Jin Wushu, who has a close relationship with him, will definitely not be here.
Stay for a long time. Once this person leaves, he will take away most of the main force of the Jin people, and the rest should not be a problem for the marshal."
"The remaining Yang Yao is a timid person. Although he has sinister intentions, he has no courage. I am afraid that he has the intention of contacting the Puppet Qi. As long as he sends an additional army to Dongting Lake to bluff, Yang Yao will definitely
Don't dare to send troops. After the marshal recovers the six counties, you can free up your hands to deal with him slowly."
After Ji Boyi finished speaking, Yue Fei's face was slightly excited. These words all touched on the things that troubled him most recently.
"Brother Daoist, one person's plan is worth half of the lives of my Yue family army. Fei thanks you again."
Naturally, Ji Boyi did not dare to let Yue Fei salute. An invisible energy surged out and pinned Yue Fei firmly in his position, preventing him from getting up. Instead, he stood up and saluted himself.
"Both the eldest and second brothers of Zhongfu were killed by the Jin invaders. I am determined to work hard to fight against the Jin. It is my good fortune to be able to help the Marshal this time. Here, Zhongfu only hopes that the Marshal can kill all the enemy invaders and recover the rivers and mountains during the Northern Expedition."
After finishing speaking, Ji Boyi saluted Yue Fei under his eager eyes, and then released his hold on his Qi.
"Hey, since the little Taoist brother said so, Fei swears here that he will destroy the golden bandits in his lifetime."
The next day, Yue Fei, who had finished reorganizing his army, said in high spirits to the soldiers of the three armies on the mighty Yangtze River: "You can't catch the traitor commander if you fly. If you return to the old situation, you won't touch this river!"
After the soldiers heard this, their morale was greatly boosted. Such a desperate move directly eliminated the soldiers' fear of the Jin people.
At this time, all the soldiers did not see that beside Yue Fei, there were two more soldiers with unfamiliar faces.
In order to protect Yue Fei conveniently, and also to eliminate the killer's wariness, Ji Boyi and Liu Haichan lived in seclusion. However, even so, Yue Fei's different attitudes towards them still aroused the curiosity of his staff and soldiers. However, after the two men showed up,
After his own skills and knowledge, no one has any doubts.
From Wuchang to the foot of Yingzhou City, the Yue Family Army walked very slowly. In addition to inquiring about the enemy's situation, they were mostly arranging the situation according to Ji Game's instructions.
