The Rise of the Cold Gate in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 166 The Proud Xianbei People
Sometimes, a small decision of the superior will have an immeasurable impact on the mentality of the inferior.

Xiao Qinzhi clearly remembered the day when Murong Chen's army passed by Lanling City, the sun was scorching hot, the sky was covered with dust, and there was a row of people on the city wall who watched the Yan army go away, but "reluctantly".

Captain Zhao must have been prepared for a long time, with five points of solemnity, three points of regret, and two points of helplessness, unlike the several school captains under his command, it does not look like a person, but a row of military achievements quietly going away, I feel uncomfortable, I am afraid that I am greeting some people's ancestors.

Zhou Lie, on the other hand, stared intently at the five thousand cavalrymen, his eyes were about to burst into light. He looked at the Yan army's middle army with a general flag flying, and growled, "Xiao Lang, if there are [-] cavalrymen now Cavalry, I will definitely capture that Murong Chen." Then, he cast a glance at Sima Yueming behind him, and let out a cold snort.

Sima Yueming, who was in shackles, was also fortunate enough to be invited to see off his old club, but his eyes glanced at the wounded soldiers and horses outside the city, and most of them focused on Xiao Qinzhi.

This more than 30-year-old Xianbei man, according to himself, said that his ancestors were descendants of Jinwu Emperor Sima Yan, so he took a false name for himself. If it weren't for his fair skin, long face, big nose, and typical Xianbei appearance, Xiao Qinzhi would have He was almost fooled by it.

At the same time, he was also an extremely proud person, and he would not be safe if he was captured. In the camp, he kept clamoring to see the person who defeated him. The guards told him that he was Captain Zhao because they knew a few words of Xianbei.

Then, he said a lot with a contemptuous smile on his face. Although the guards couldn't understand what he said, but his unruly expression showed everything. However, he forgot that he is now a prisoner, not the Sima who commanded an army of [-]. Yueming understood, so he was taught a good lesson by the two soldiers.

Even though his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, this proud Xianbei didn't give in. He insisted on seeing the coach. Xiao Qin's way was passing by, and he heard shouts from inside, so he went in curiously, and then it became a big fan meeting.

To be precise, it was this Xianbei who loved the culture of the Han family. He accidentally learned that there was such a number one person as Xiao Qinzhi, so he asked around, and then he couldn't control his admiration.

At the beginning, Xiao Qinzhi didn't understand the bird language spoken by the Xianbei people. Fortunately, two guards recommended a translator in time. It was the younger brother of the Xiao clan in the city, the only young man who was still studying. His name was Xiao Yue, 14 years old. , at a young age, he learned two foreign languages ​​without a teacher, Xianbei, and Mongolian, which is not very different.

With Xiao Yue's translation, Xiao Qinzhi finally understood the bird language spoken by the prisoner, and generously admitted that he was the one who defeated him.

Sima Yueming immediately showed the essence of a fan, and spoke a lot of bird language with excitement, and the shackles on his wrists vibrated with "click" due to excitement.

Xiao Yue translated: "He said that he knew all about the guards of Lanling City. He had been frightened out of his courage in the battle of Taishan County, and he definitely didn't have the courage to go out of the city to fight. It’s understandable if you use a strategy, he’s convinced of the defeat.”

"Xianzhi Rangan" in Xianbei language means highly educated Han people, and it is a very respectful title, which is a few grades lower than "Khan". It is conceivable that Lao Li's "Tian Khan" has a certain How awesome.

Speaking of this, Xiao Yue paused and said: "He said that he had heard about your name long ago, read all your works, and had always had a wish, that is, to invite you to Yecheng as a guest, and to entertain you with good wine and good meat. .Now that we can meet each other, our wish has been fulfilled, and we will die without regret.”

Not knowing Chinese, but knowing Chinese characters is one of the important reasons for the long history of Chinese civilization. Xiao Qinzhi's vanity was greatly satisfied by being worshiped by the enemy's generals, and he said to Xiao Yue with great interest: "You Ask, what has he read?"

Normally at this time, even if the celebrities are secretly happy in their hearts, they will definitely appear calm on the outside, but Xiao Qinzhi's demeanor seems to be different from the celebrities, Xiao Yue frowned, but did not ask, and translated truthfully.

With both hands in shackles, Sima Yueming looked at the top of the tent at a 45-degree angle in sync with his head. He stepped forward with one foot firmly, and with deep emotions, he chanted in Luoyin with a Xianbei accent: "Qin Shi Ming Yue Han At the end of the hour, the Long Marchers have not yet returned."

Suddenly, the other foot stepped forward heavily, the shackles in his hands rang, and he chanted loudly: "But let the Dragon City Flying General stay, and don't teach Huma to go to Yinshan Mountain."

Then there was a burst of birdsong.

Xiao Yue translated: "He said he likes this poem the most."

Xiao Qinzhi chuckled and said: "Xianbei originated from Donghu, doesn't he know that what General Wei destroyed is also his ancestor?"

Xiao Yue translated again.

Unexpectedly, Sima Yueming raised his head and said, "He said he is a descendant of Emperor Wu of Jin,"

So, Xiao Qinzhi laughed again, even Xiao Yue, who was serious and didn't laugh easily, couldn't stand being teased and laughed.

Undoubtedly, it is normal for Sima Yueming to admire the culture of the Central Plains, but this person has a tendency to be a fan, and he actually asks to follow Xiao Qinzhi, who would dare to believe that?

Xiao Qinzhi even felt that this Xianbei man admired the Central Plains culture and must have learned "Sun Tzu's Art of War", using a trick to paralyze the enemy so that he can escape when the defense is loose.

This idea was approved by Xu Miao, and the two of them made up their minds and were ready to test it out, so they took Xiao Yue and asked Sima Yueming a question: "This time Murong Chen is defeated, what is the Yan Army's next plan?"

In fact, Xu Miao and Xiao Qinzhi discussed for a long time, thinking that Murong Chen would not attack the two counties of Lanling and Langya, and thus win the entire Qingzhou. Defensively, until the end, even if the Yan army wins, it is doomed to suffer heavy casualties.

The best strategy is to walk around the northern foot of Mount Tai, pass through Licheng, Linzi, and go south to attack the two counties of Linqu and Zhuxu behind Daxianguan, so as to cut off the connection between Dong'an and Dongguan counties in Qingzhou and Langya, so that Qingzhou can also be taken .

Sima Yueming thought about it for a while, then pointed at Linqu and Zhuxu counties, which coincided with Xiao Qinzhi's and Xu Miao's conjectures.

The so-called military speed is precious, if the Yan army takes these two counties without preparation, Dong'an and Dongguan will become two isolated cities, and Xiao Qinzhi reported it to Captain Zhao in time.

One day later, Captain Zhao sent Xiao Qinzhi an errand. Lanling still needed him to sit in the township, so he would not be able to leave, so he asked Xiao Qinzhi to go to Pengcheng to express his condolences on his behalf, attend the funeral of Governor Xun, and report the emergency. military situation.

Therefore, under the protection of more than fifty riders led by Zhou Lie, Xiao Qinzhi hurried to Pengcheng, and along with Sima Yueming and several lieutenants, went to Pengcheng to offer prisoners. The most important thing was to accept the officials sent by Jiankang. Ministry of Commendation Documents.
