Chapter 118
Zhang Ming arrived in Ningcheng soon.
"Broken bones are reborn, not so much as a Taoist technique." When he heard Liu Xiu's doubts, Zhang Ming immediately answered: "Because this has a lot to do with the injured person, and it is far more important than the person who casts the technique."
"Is this really the case?"
"Yes." Zhang Ming nodded affirmatively: "I heard from the great wise and good teacher that people who have achieved success in Taoism can regenerate even if their hearts are not dead, not to mention just broken legs. However, most people who have reached this level of Taoism are not in conflict with the world, and no one can hurt them with their Taoism. After all, it is natural for people with Taoism to recover faster than others. The strong ones are faster than those with thin ones, right?"
"I can accept this, but it's obvious that I can recover in three months of injury. Isn't that outrageous, right?" Liu Xiu couldn't believe it, "I fought with Huai Zong. His martial arts are higher than mine, but there is not such a big gap."
"Maybe he can only barely walk for a month, not completely recovering." Zhang Ming didn't believe it, and there was a little disdain in his tone: "I haven't heard of any wise Taoist priest on the grassland. A Hu dog, who is more powerful, may be a little stronger. When it comes to Taoism, they are probably not even sure about their wizards who jump around."
"Are you familiar with Hu people's wizards?" Liu Xiu asked casually.
"I have come into contact with some." Zhang Ming curled his lips disapprovingly: "Most of them are lying people, and few of them have real skills."
Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Then can you go to Baishan with me and use your Taoist techniques to shock those Hu dogs?"
Zhang Ming looked at Liu Xiu in shock. After a while, he laughed, smiling strangely: "Do you know who I am?"
"I know, the Zhen envoy among the eight disciples under the great wise and good teacher of Taiping Dao." Liu Xiu laughed twice: "If you don't dare to go, I won't force you."
"Don't do this." Zhang Ming was so angry that he couldn't help but feel reserved, and said angrily: "You know that I am one of the eight disciples, and actually asked me to be your minion. Since the beginning of Taoism, no one has dared to be so bold except serving great wise mentors. Do you think I'm too polite to you?"
"No." Liu Xiu said quickly: "I really hope to get your help, and by the way, I will actually verify the authenticity of Taoism. Besides, since you are a tsunami, you are in charge of the Northeast's academic affairs. Youzhou is within your missionary scope. How can you tolerate those witches pretending to be gods and bewitching sentient beings?"
"And!" Zhang Ming looked at him disdainfully and stood up and wanted to leave.
"I tell you, if we cannot convince the Wuhuan people, we will not only have no reinforcements, but also divide our troops to guard against them. Ningcheng may be fine, but Shanggu will definitely suffer. Those refugees who cannot enter the city will also suffer heavy casualties..."
"Are you threatening me?" Zhang Ming suddenly turned his head, glared at Liu Xiu, and shouted in a deep voice: "When did you care so much about Douji Xiaomin's life?"
"I don't know others, but I have always cared about it." Liu Xiu said calmly in response to Zhang Ming's gaze: "I saw so many refugees in Ningcheng, and then I realized how much death and injury would be caused if Ningcheng could not be protected. Zhang Zhi, I am not threatening you, I am asking you to help me. No matter what means I use, I will force the Wuhuan people to bow their heads. Even if they refuse to send troops, at least they must promise neutrality so that we can concentrate on dealing with the Xianbei people."
Zhang Ming took a deep breath, held it for a moment, and slowly spit it out again. He frowned and thought for a while before nodding: "Okay, then I will help you once. However, if you make me think that you are lying to me this time in the future, I will definitely not let you go."
"You can rest assured about this." Liu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. He wanted to go to Baishan to persuade Nanlou, but it would definitely not work to reason. Since Li Ding couldn't convince Nanlou with reason, he had to change his method. It would be useless to lead too many people, and no matter how many people were, it would be impossible to destroy Baishan. He needed a master, a very high master, and Zhang Ming was undoubtedly the most suitable one.
"When are you going to leave?"
"Tomorrow." Liu Xiudao: "I also want to ask the lieutenant to cooperate and make some arrangements."
"Okay, I'll wait for you outside the city tomorrow morning." Zhang Ming said straightforwardly: "Since you are so concerned about the life and death of refugees, please tell Mr. Xia that we have too little food, and I hope he can be more generous."
"It will definitely be done." Liu Xiu said without hesitation. Zhang Ming glanced at him, turned around and strode out of the door, and disappeared into the crowd in a blink of an eye. Although Liu Xiu had excellent eyesight, after looking for a while, he still couldn't see how he left.
...
"What arrangement do you want me to make?" Xia Yu rubbed the knife ring and looked at Liu Xiu sitting opposite him quietly.
"I want to ask the Lord to prepare for the conquest of Wuhuan."
"Conquer Wuhuan?" Xia Yu raised his eyebrows and his eyes became cold: "You... aren't sure?"
"Adults are famous generals who have been on the battlefield for a long time. They have fought with the Qiang people for many years. I must know the nature of these Qiang and Hu people." Liu Xiu said calmly: "It is of course a good thing to be convinced, but if they do not have enough strength and determination to use force, I think they will not be so obedient, otherwise I would not need to go there. I believe that the eloquence of Li's work must be above me."
Xia Yu's eyebrows twitched, and he couldn't help but raise his hand and touched his beard. He looked at Liu Xiu with a smile, as if he thought he was too stupid: "You really want to use force to force Nanlou to bow your head, aren't you afraid Nanlou will kill you because of this?"
Liu Xiu was still calm: "Only if the adults have the determination to use force, I will be safer. I want to use the adults' power to shock their hearts and let them know that although my great man established the world with virtue, he not only had the classics mentioned by Confucian scholars, but also the sharp sword in the hands of the adults. Not only can he benefit the world, but he can also cross the desert and kill all directions."
Although Xia Yu sounded Shuxin, he was still a little suspicious. He kept clamoring to attack Hanlou, which was just forcing Liu Yu to start a war. He could not defeat Hanlou by relying on the two thousand cavalry in the city. Even if Hanlou did not use other nomadic tribes outside, the standing guard cavalry in Baishan alone would be enough to compete with him.
"You know, I only have two thousand people under my command." Xia Yu reminded, his tone relaxed a lot.
"I know." Liu Xiu nodded: "However, in Ningcheng, in addition to the warriors under the captain, there are also elite Youzhou from Zhuo County and Hebei soldiers from Jizhou. I think this is enough to make Nanlou suppress his temper and listen to me finish his words."
Xia Yu's eyes flashed, he thought for a moment, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He nodded slightly and said, "No, good, I'm negligent about this. Since that's the case, let the old dog of Nanlou be more stable. However, I want to remind you that although I don't have a good impression of the Wuhuan people, the most important enemy now is the Xianbei people. You can't let me be attacked from both sides."
"Don't worry, sir." Liu Xiu bowed and said, "I will do my best to avoid embarrassing you."
Xia Yu stroked the short beard on his lips and smiled: "Deran, I know that your brothers are a little dissatisfied with me summoning you into the mansion. I don't know how many times I have scolded me behind my back. But I told you that no matter how cruel you scold me, I don't regret this decision. Instead, I feel that this decision is very wise, and... I hope you won't regret it in the end."
"Thank you, sir." Liu Xiu bowed again. Anyway, Lu Zhi couldn't count on him. Whether Lu Min was deceived or willing, he had already been labeled as a warrior. They had no other way out, they had to move forward bravely and fight for a bloody road. Moreover, the troubled times are approaching, and having the power of military power is much more useful than understanding a few saints' classics. Cao Sun and Liu can divide the world three times by relying on classics, but the bloody sword in their hands. Instead, those Confucian scholars who are full of knowledge, including the Yuan family and the Yang family of the four generations and the three masters, and his great Confucian teacher Lu Zhi, eventually became lambs that can be slaughtered.
