Li Qiufeng listened to Sun Guangming's eloquent talk, and his heart couldn't help but move, secretly thinking that Sun Guangming was only about thirty years old, and he had such an opinion, but it was quite impressive. Although he has heard a little about these old things, he has not imagined them as far-reaching as his. At present, the Ming Dynasty has been established for more than 100 years, although there has been a fiasco in the Tumubao Change, but the Tartar departments are also in civil strife, and the threat to the nine sides in recent years is not as serious as before. On the contrary, the Japanese in the southeast coast have become more and more rampant, not only harassing the coastal areas of Fujian, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, but also gradually advancing northward in recent years, and there are traces of the Japanese in the coastal waters of Shandong. Previously, Li Qiufeng never thought that Liu Zongyan, who had been powering the rivers and lakes for decades, was actually a fake Fusang person, and Liu Sheng Zongyan sneaked into Middle Earth with these Fusang warriors, and landed in Liaodong. From this point of view, I am only afraid of the trouble of Liaodong and the Japanese Invaders, and it is not much better than Fujian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The rebellion of the Japanese invaders, from Liaodong to Fujian, has become a big trouble for the Ming Dynasty, but I am afraid that it is more deadly than the Tartars. However, although Yanagi Zongyan and his gang colluded with the Japanese on the southeast coast, the two sides had their own evil intentions. Even within the Fuso samurai led by Yagyu Soiwa, there were different forces. The eyeliner planted by Jinyiwei on the southeast coast also submitted a document to the chief and deputy commanders of Jinyiwei and the military department, saying that there were also disputes among the Japanese in the southeast coastal area. If you follow Sun Guangming's method to provoke civil strife among the Japanese invaders, it would be a good way.

While the two were talking, the sky was getting dark. Although the three of them have left the main peak of Yuntai Mountain, they have not yet walked out of the remaining veins of Yuntai Mountain. By this time, it was getting late, and the mountain wind was getting more and more violent. Although Li Qiufeng, Sun Guangming, and Su Yan were armed with martial arts, they also felt that the cold wind was biting and very difficult. There happened to be an abandoned earthen house on the side of the road not far away, and Sun Guangming said: "Li Daxia, after you arrived at Wujiguan yesterday, you fought with those mothers-in-law of Wujiguan for a day and a night, and the rice did not enter, but I am afraid that you are exhausted at this time." We might as well rest here for the night, and then rush to Gaoping tomorrow morning, but it's not too late. ”

Li Qiufeng said with a smile: "It's all up to Mr. Sun's orders, why do you need to ask Li again?"

When the three of them reached the dilapidated house, they turned over and dismounted, and tied their horses to some dead trees by the roadside, and let them gnaw on the dead grass by the roadside. After the three of them walked into the dilapidated house, they saw that the house was in tatters, and the windows were full of large and small holes. Luckily, the roof and walls are still intact enough to shelter from the cold wind. The three of them removed the debris from the ground and started a fire in the clearing. Su Yan took out a few more dough cakes from the baggage and gave them to Sun Guangming and Li Qiufeng. Li Qiufeng was already hungry, but he was not polite at this time, and ate the two flatbreads cleanly. took the water bladder handed over by Su Yan again, drank most of the bag of water in one go, and then patted his belly, and said to Sun Guangming and Su Yan: "Thank you two, so that Li will not die of hunger and thirst." ”

Sun Guangming laughed and said, "Li Daxia laughed." Aren't you afraid that we will poison this bread and water?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Even if you want to kill me, you won't do it at this time, what am I worried about?"

Sun Guangming's laughter suddenly stopped, staring at Li Qiufeng, and after a while, he said word by word: "Li Daxia, I hope we will never be enemies." ”

Li Qiufeng said: "To be a friend or an enemy, it depends on Mr. Sun's meaning." ”

Sun Guangming picked up a wooden stick in his right hand and stirred it up a few times in the fire, and the flames rose with a "whirl", beating in the air above the fire. The shadows of the three people were reflected on the wall by the flames, but they also shook endlessly.

Sun Guangming looked at the fire and said, "We haven't finished talking about the afternoon yet." Jieli Khan saw that the Tang army was waiting for him, but he did not dare to attack without authorization. Seeing that the Turkic army did not attack immediately, Li Shimin knew that Jieli Khan had been decided, so he personally rode across the Weihe Bridge regardless of the danger, passed through the Tang army led by Wei Chi Jingde, who was in the backwater array, and reached the front of the Turkic army, calling Jieli Khan to stand up and speak.

"Jieli Khan knew that Li Shimin was fighting in the south and in the north, and he would be stubborn and stubborn in every battle. Moreover, Li Shimin is good at archery, and has the ability to penetrate Yang in 100 steps, so it can be said that the arrow is not in vain. Although Jieli Khan was also quite brave, when he went out into battle, he still ordered seventy-two Turkic warriors wrapped in iron armor to hold shields in their hands and surround him to prevent Li Shimin from suddenly using cold arrows.

"Although the Turks are fierce and greedy, they have always respected heroes. At this time, seeing that the Tang Emperor arrived in front of the battle alone, and his own khan dared to talk to the Tang Emperor only after being protected by many warriors, the original arrogant momentum was knocked out a lot.

When Li Shimin saw Jieli Khan appearing, he accused him of not being faithful and attacking the Tang Dynasty. Jieli Khan said that when Li Yuan raised his army, he borrowed troops and grain from the Turks, and promised the Tang Dynasty to win the world, while the children and treasures were left to the Turks to take their own money. He led his troops to the east, not to start a war with the Tang Dynasty, but to ask for the gold and silver treasures promised by Li Yuan, the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty. When Li Shimin heard Jieli Khan say this, he immediately knew that this person had no ambitions, but was just greedy for small profits, so he put his mind at ease. He promised to give the Turks gold and silver on the same day, and the Tang Dynasty and the Turks will always be together. Jieli Khan saw that the Tang army was prepared, and it would not be beneficial for him to start a war between the two sides. Since Li Shimin had promised to give the silver, he just got off the donkey. Li Shimin and Jieli Khan beheaded the White Horse by the Weihe Bridge and made an alliance with each other, agreeing with each other that they would never lose each other, which was the famous Weishui Alliance.

After Li Shimin made an alliance with Jieli Khan, he ordered the gold, silver and jewelry that had been prepared long ago to be sent to the Turkic camp. Jieli Khan was overjoyed when he saw the money, and led the Turkic army to retreat westward on the same day. A great war faded into obscurity. It's just that Li Shimin didn't dare to be negligent, and Chang'an City was still under martial law.

After the retreat of the Turkic army, Li Shimin knew that the Tang Dynasty and the Turks would eventually have a war, and he was trying hard to make the country prosperous, and he wanted to snow the shame of the Turkic palace. Although the Turks withdrew from the western border of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court was more closely defended. Master Xuanzang waited in Chang'an for two years, during which he repeatedly asked the court to allow him to go west to Tianzhu to obtain Buddhist scriptures, but the court refused. Master Xuanzang's heart was like fire, and he couldn't wait any longer, so he quietly left Chang'an in the second year of Zhenguan and traveled all the way west, wanting to go to Tianzhu privately. Along the way, he was captured by the Tang army several times, but the general who led the troops saw that Master Xuanzang was dedicated to the Buddha and admired him, so he did not embarrass him, but gave him water and dry food, so that he could enter the Western Regions safely. ”

When Sun Guangming said this, he smiled slightly and said: "At that time, the Tang Dynasty strictly controlled the border, just like today's Ming Dynasty's sea ban, and the guards were extremely tight. If there is no approval from the imperial court, once captured by the border army, it is a major crime to collaborate with the enemy. Master Xuanzang went to Tianzhu and took a great risk, where was there any matter of Tang Taizong personally putting on his robe?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years." Mr. Sun has a wide range of knowledge and admires him. ”

Sun Guangming said: "I just dropped my book bag, not to mention any university question." Master Xuanzang traveled all the way west, passing through dozens of countries, experiencing many hardships and hardships, and almost lost his life several times. He walked on the road for three years, traveled more than 130,000 miles, and finally arrived in Tianzhu. After that, he spent ten years in Tianzhu, studying Buddhism, which caused a sensation in the entire Tianzhu. In the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, Master Xuanzang set off to return to the Tang Dynasty and returned to Chang'an two years later. It was a completely different time from when he left Chang'an seventeen years ago. The Tang Dynasty defeated the Turks, and the countries of the Western Regions submitted to the Tang Dynasty, respecting Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, as the Heavenly Khan. When Master Xuanzang returned to the Western Regions, the news reached Chang'an. Officials and people from all over the country are waiting to see the demeanor of this Tang monk. Li Shimin no longer pursued Master Xuanzang for illegally crossing the border, but sent an envoy to the Western Regions to welcome Master Xuanzang back to Chang'an.

"In the nineteenth year of Zhenguan, Master Xuanzang finally returned to Chang'an. At that time, Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, was planning to use troops against Liaodong and drove to Luoyang. I heard that Master Xuanzang had arrived in Chang'an, so I invited him to Luoyang to meet him. After Master Xuanzang arrived in Luoyang, Li Shimin personally met him in the Yiluan Hall of Ziwei City in Luoyang. Li Shimin asked Xuanzang to sit with him, and asked, 'Why didn't the master report to the imperial court when he went west to learn scriptures?' Master Xuanzang replied: "When the poor monk went west, although he had repeatedly expressed it, it was an eventful time, and His Majesty made every effort to prevent foreign insults. I am afraid that His Majesty has not known about this kind of release. The poor monk's sincerity is shallow, and the court does not allow it. It is a poor monk who is a private act, and the sin of being a master is only deeply feared. Tang Taizong sighed: "After the master became a monk, he broke off with the world, so he was able to entrust his life to seek the Dharma and benefit the people." Such tenacity and courage are unparalleled in the world. ’”

When Sun Guangming said this, he sighed and said: "Master Xuanzang is just a monk, but he can travel thousands of miles away without fear of hardships. Li Shimin saw that he spoke elegantly and was even more knowledgeable, and he was really a great figure. He had a heart of love for talent, and he was bent on abandoning his reins and returning to the world, so he sent his most powerful minister, Changsun Wuji, to persuade Master Xuanzang. The eldest grandson Wuji relayed Li Shimin's words, saying, 'The master can be sent by the public assistant, because of persuasion, he helps to uphold secular affairs'.

"Master Xuanzang and the eldest grandson Wuji sat down and discussed, saying, 'The little monk practices the door and subdues the Buddha, Xuanzong is Xi, and Confucianism has not been heard.' Sending people to the world today is tantamount to abandoning the water and going to land on the boat of the current, which is not only useless, but also corrupt. I wish to devote my life to the Tao to repay the country's kindness, and the little monk is very fortunate'. The eldest grandson Wuji is the most knowledgeable, and he is the most powerful minister under Li Shimin, making suggestions for the founding of the Tang Dynasty, I don't know how much effort was spent, and he is really the first hero of the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin built the Lingyan Pavilion and painted a map of twenty-four heroes, and the first one was the eldest grandson Wuji. Later, when Li Shimin was seriously ill, he was also orphaned by his eldest grandson Wuji. If there was no eldest grandson Wuji to defend it, how could Li Zhi, this kid, be the emperor? I only hated this kid for not being angry, and he was held hostage by the Empress Wu and killed the eldest grandson Wuji. As a result, the Empress Wu monopolized the power, and Si Chen, caused chaos in the court, slaughtered Li Shimin's descendants, and finally used the Zhou Dynasty to replace the Tang Dynasty, almost destroying the Tang Dynasty. Pushing back to the source, it was caused by Li Zhi being instigated by Empress Wu and killing his eldest grandson Wuji. ”
