Finally, I finished reading "Jiangshan". This is the third novel by Mo Wu that I have read, and it is also the longest novel I have read so far. It is more than 4.3 million words, allowing me to witness a magnificent and ups and downs of the Sui and Tang dynasties. From the helplessness after Xiao Buyi's reincarnation to adapting to history, and then to the later reversal of history, I walked step by step to the road to fighting for emperors, which was mixed with too many sighs and struggles.

Mo Wu has almost established his current status as a great master in transformation and inheritance in the past three years. At the beginning, the outstanding works of "Wu Lin" and the rigorous and weirdness of "The Tale of the Dandy" to the majestic and grand atmosphere of "Jiangshan" all show Mo Wu's profound foundation in conception, language, and character setting. This is rare in the online novel world today.

Now in "Jiangshan", we can see that Mo Wu's ambition has become larger. Where does the ambition come from? Mo Wu overthrew history and overthrew the prosperous Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years, and attempted to build a peaceful dynasty that made the world look at and worshipped all over the world. Of course, this sounds incredible, but Mo Wu completed it, and it was beautifully completed. Rather than saying that "Jiangshan" is a historical novel, it is better to say that it is a biography of a character outside of independent history.

First, let’s talk about the protagonist Xiao Buyi of this book.

Xiao Buyi was an equestrian who traveled from modern times to the Sui Dynasty who possessed a young bandit. To be precise, he was a combination of a modern soul and an ancient body, which is what the people in Tianpingdao call it. In fact, he had died once. After such an inexplicable and incredible experience, Xiao Buyi was completely confused and confused, and began to accept reality. He was serious about being his horse thief. His highest wish was to build the largest horse farm in the Sui Dynasty. He had Mo Feng, Fat Huai and his brothers, and the support of "dad" Xiao Dapeng. He felt that he was full of energy and could do nothing. He never thought about his mysterious and prominent life experience behind him, nor did he think that he could rule the world in the future and be in the mountains and rivers.

However, everyone knew that as the protagonist, he could not be so ordinary, and he was destined to fight in the country. Later, because of a decree from Pei Mingcui, he whispered to the envoys of various countries in the Qingyi Pavilion, and became the rising star of the Sui Dynasty, and was appointed as the General of the Right Guard. After Yang Guang and the world was in chaos, he successfully escaped Zhang Xutuo's pursuit and took the lead in deciding to Xiangyang, plotting the Eastern Capital, pacifying Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and fighting Guanzhong. Finally, he defeated the Turks and Goryeo, defeating Li Yuan, and establishing an unprecedented Daliang Dynasty. Step by step, it was unexpected and reasonable.

However, how can a mud-legged horse-raising groom gain recognition and support from the nobles and the people? So what can we do if we have great military achievements? After all, the general trend of the world is in the hands of the people. Of course, choosing an emperor requires choosing someone who can safeguard their interests and represent their interests.

In fact, Xiao Buyi has a high status, his father Xiao Dapeng is a descendant of the Western Liang royal family, his mother Yuwen is the third princess of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and his aunt is the Empress Xiao of the Great Sui mother. Even the elder brother is the famous Taiping Road No. 1 master. It can be said that he is a match for the emperor.

But the most important thing is obviously not this, and I don’t know much about this identity. If it is because of his wisdom, his subordinates Li Jing, Xu Shiji and others will not let him go, and even the enemy Li Mi is even better than him. To be honest, although he has practiced the Yijin Jing, he has to be less than two points compared to Kunlun, Daoxin, Qiuyanke and others. In the final analysis, what is more important is that he is still a very rational and capable person who knows tolerate.

Xiao Buyi is a modern person. He understands that the conflict between the old lord and the upstart has been around for a long time, and sooner or later there will be a big collision. However, he is also a smooth-looking person and proud in his bones. He disdained to win over one of them. So when he took control of the Dongdu, he first let the old lords check and balance each other, and then vigorously promoted the poor scholars and merchants, slowly weakening the power of the old lords. He represented the upstarts on the surface, but in fact he had already surpassed the upstarts.

Xiao Buyi has the conditions to be a leader, so of course he must know how to be a leader. He has the aura of a commoner and a natural aristocratic temperament. He knows people and is good at responsibilities, opens up his own ways of speaking, but has his own principle of immortality. He appreciates Yuchi Jingde's talent in leading the army, but does not overcoming each other; he sees the down-and-out scholar Ma Zhou Kuanglang unruly and has outstanding knowledge, so he does not hesitate to test himself and disagrees with his consent to use it. He is in a high position but is willing to be as willing as his subordinates.

To share the woe, he led the way on the battlefield, so that Li Jing, Wei Zheng, Sun Shaofang, Pei Xingyan, Qin Shubao and others were willing to work hard. What is commendable is that he knew how to govern the country when fighting wars, so that there was a strange scene of "beacon fires in the Central Plains, and flowers in the Eastern Capital flourished". Li Mi, Dou Jiande, and Li Yuan were defeated by the Western Liang army one after another, largely because of the economic depression and poor supply. This shows that Xiao Buyi's vision is far-reaching.

However, even if he has Jinxiu Rivers and Mountains, Xiao Buyi is not happy. The confusion of time and space has kept him away from his relatives and lovers in the original world, and gradually becomes cold and deep in a strange ancient country. The benefit of time traveling to him was that he had a handsome face and super high martial arts physique, but the cost was also huge. Fortunately, several women with different personalities appeared in his life at this time.

The cold and arrogant Si Nan; Meng Chenxue who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside; the intelligent and witty Pei Bei; the gentle and shy Yuan Qiaoxi; the lonely and pitiful Wan'er; and the involvement with Princess Wuyou, Yuan Ruoxi, Mengdie and other women adds a few bright colors to this novel with almost men-themed theme.

Perhaps because of Mo Wu's personality, there are many women who appear in his novels, but few have a good ending. Except for Si Nan, Meng Chenxue, Pei Bei and Qiaoxi, the four girls who were able to be ranked in the harem, the others are either living alone, wandering around the world, or becoming a monk and a love ghost.

It is really hard to answer if you ask Xiao Buyi who loves the most. The one that impressed me was the cold Sinan, who only ate one night of rice for three meals a day. She mostly focused on the second half of the book, and was also the woman who had been with Xiao Buyi for the longest time. She was first ordered to protect Xiao Buyi by her master Kunlun, but then she was reluctant to leave because Xiao Buyi gradually occupied it in her heart. In addition, she continued to stay in order to find her life experience, followed Xiao Buyi all day long like a shadow, saving his life many times.

Si Nan had a complicated experience when she was young. Generally speaking, he was a descendant of the Northern Zhou royal family. If the Northern Zhou Dynasty had not been destroyed by Yang Jian, he should be the princess and princess (some readers suspected that she and Xiao Buyi might be close relatives, but the truth was no longer verified). Later, he learned the unparalleled swordsmanship. Because of his lonely experience in childhood, he was as cold as ice and ate only white rice for three meals. Although he was as beautiful as the country, he was wearing black clothes and a black veil all day long. Except for Xiao Buyi, he ignored almost anyone.

Si Nan was also considered to have many fates. She was separated from her relatives since she was a child. When she grew up, she was trapped by Li Xuanba. She assassinated Yang Guang by Luoshui, but accidentally killed her twin sister Sitong. She was in great pain. She finally found her own mother, but she lost her memory and no longer recognized her. Later, her lover Xiao Buyi wanted to break off her kindness with her. She waited for seven years in Liaodong before she could stay together forever. She had suffered, but no one told her. She loved Xiao Buyi, but was afraid that she would become a disaster for the country and the second Yang Guang, so she kept swaying around. Although she was cold, she admired the hero who valued affection and righteousness. She was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see the horses being affected. She was as beautiful as a fairy. Even with Xiao Buyi's concentration, she was lost many times when she saw her appearance, but she didn't care.

Si Nan is the person who knows Xiao Buyi the best. She saw his loneliness and loneliness, but she did everything for him silently, assassinating Yang Shanhui for her, questioning Xiao Dapeng for him, and even forgot his sister's hatred for him, obstructing him from killing Li Xuanba, just because he and Li Xuanba are brothers. She doesn't want Xiao Buyi to be scolded for being tragically killed. She only has one wish, just want to be with Xiao Buyi forever, but she is afraid that after she says it, the two will only be farther away. Xiao Buyi has suspected her, but she is not angry, only sad. She once stabbed Xiao Buyi two swords, but her heart is bleeding...

This is a contradictory woman. Her persistence and indifference undoubtedly make her whole body full of shining light. Although she is cold, she is extremely lovable. As the saying goes: the cold face is beautiful and the city is beautiful, and the people in the jade face are confused. Even if they are the heroes, the three armies can be defeated by a smile.

In addition to Si Nan's stunning entanglement, Xiao Buyi and women such as Meng Chenxue are also very interesting, but because they have fewer appearances, they will not mention it for the time being. Another person who must be mentioned is Pei Mingcui, a strange girl from the Sui Dynasty. She can almost be regarded as the most outstanding supporting role in this book except Li Jing, the bearded guest, and Li Xuanba.

To be honest, according to the description in the book, Pei Mingcui is not as beautiful as Si Nan, nor as beautiful as a jasper in Yuan Qiaoxi's family. She is even a rude man in men's clothing. However, she makes people easily ignore her appearance and is impressed by her wisdom and temperament. From this point of view, she is similar to the bearded guest, both of which have a charm from the inside out. Even arrogant people like Xu Shiji and Yu Shinan, who admire her, are at a loss in front of her.

However, Pei Mingcui is also a tragic person. The person she loves the most is Li Xuanba, but he deceived her and made her lonely all her life; the person he respects the most is Yang Guang, but he doesn't understand her, just as the world doesn't understand Yang Guang; his best friend is Xiao Buyi, but he and his sweetheart Li Xuanba are biological brothers, but they are also the enemy of life and death...

Pei Mingcui's life was helpless and even more deeply sad. She knew a lot, she was smarter than anyone else, she was so smart that she could influence the rise and fall of two generations, so this also destined her helplessness.

The two men she cared about most in her life, one was born with her mother's life, and she had been swearing to revive the Northern Zhou Dynasty since she was a child, and she used all means to offend everyone in the world; the other was ambitious, but she was just using her own ambitions, destroying the Great Wall, and breaking the huge country into pieces. She knew what they were going to be, but she was powerless?

After all, she is a woman. In this patriarchal society, no matter how smart a woman is, she will have no good ending. She solved the mystery of the turtle shell of the Heavenly Book, solved the mystery of Li Xuanba's fake death, solved the mystery of Xiao Buyi's life experience, but could not solve the mystery of her own life. What's the joy of life? Only the breeze on Mount Hua that blows through the thin figure and the gentle cough echo in the misty sky...

Jiangshan, this is a heroic epic. There is the sigh of Zhang Xutuo's defeat in Dahai Temple and trapped after being trapped, facing the broken mountains and rivers; there is the unrestrained and heroic man who is bearded and chases the moonlight for thousands of miles, and the unrestrained and heroic spirit of the Taoist monks who care about the people and judge others by themselves; there is also the sadness of Qin Shubao carrying the burden of loyalty and filial piety and transcendence with death... Of course, there is the end of Li Mi and the mechanism of Li Xuanba, and Li Yuan's hypocrisy and coldness...

Everything is sometimes like beating a drum and roaring gold in the endless "Jiangshan"; sometimes like gentle breeze and drizzle, telling you the different history of a thousand years ago.
