The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 378 Xiangyang City

On that day, if I didn’t come to Shaodi’s Mausoleum in a daze, so that I traveled to the Southern Song Dynasty, I don’t know how I would spend it. I don’t think I can survive the days without Le Lingshan. We are in the same space, and I feel that the life of the emperor is quite novel and exciting, so I survived. Now, Linger has become like this again. If I lose Fang Ling again, I can even imagine that maybe I will die of depression .

I smiled: "Master Taoist, I know you mean well, but I have already made up my mind,"

Fang Chen was very moved when he saw that I did not hesitate to personally take risks for Fang Ling: "Mr. Huyan, Mr. Yuan, if you don't object, I will go with you. Ling'er is the only daughter of this old man, and I will do my best." force, "

"no problem,"

My tone seemed very calm, but it made Dao Fa feel that his destiny cannot be violated, so he could only say: "Well, since the young master has made a decision, the old Taoist will risk his life to accompany the gentleman."

"Well, thank you Daofa masters for your help. I think, with you three masters escorting you, even if you have to go through ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties along the way, you can still break through. Sir, where is the Valley of the Kings?"

"Why is 81 difficult?" Daofa, Fang Chenyi and others thought in unison.

Yuan Ji said: "Young Master, the Valley of the Kings is located in the central county of Fangzhou Prefecture of our Chaoyan Road (now Yan'an, Shaanxi). The Mongols placed the central county under the jurisdiction of Fuzhou Prefecture (now Huangling County), "

"Sir, is the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor right there?"

"Yes, son, the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor is in Qiaoshan, Zhongbu County. About 100 steps south of the main peak of Qiaoshan, there is an ancient site. From this site to the north, there is a hidden path leading to Xiaofanshan. The Valley of the Kings is In Xiaofan Mountain, "

Master Daofa was surprised and said: "It turns out that I went northward from the ruins. As an old Taoist, I went to Qiaoshan in Zhongbu County and the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor 30 years ago, and I wandered around the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor for a whole day, but I found no one. Such a road can lead to the Valley of the Kings, by the way, that was the time when I met Ji Ya, the Mongolian genius doctor, in front of the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum."

Yuan Ji smiled and said, "Did the genius doctor Ji Ya also go to pay homage to the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum?"

"It should be. It was a coincidence that that time coincided with the fierce battle between Mongolia and the Kingdom of Jin," Daofa recalled. The filial son carried his mother on his back to pay homage to the Yellow Emperor. His mother had suffered from leg problems for many years and was unable to move. When Pindao saw this, he helped them up together with the genius doctor Ji Ya. Later, the miracle doctor Ji Ya saw that his mother was sick, so he gave a helping hand. After some treatment, the mother felt that her legs were sore Pindao also helped me when I lost consciousness, I heard Xiaozi said that his mother has lost consciousness in both legs for ten years, "

"Next, Pindao and the genius doctor Jiya sent the mother and child back to the hot spring village. The genius doctor Jiya checked the patient again and left a prescription. He said that he only needs to take the medicine for 21 consecutive days. He said that he also admired the Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of the Han people, so he would visit the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor every once in a while. Since then, Pindao has remembered Living in the name of Jiya, the longer I travel in the north, I also know the name of Mongolian Jiya doctor. In the hearts of Mongolians and many northern Han and Jin people, Jiya is the most kind and skilled doctor in the world. The most brilliant doctor, "

Yuan Zhi sighed: "There are also good people and righteous people among the Mongolians."

"Well," I nodded and said, "Master Taoist, go back and prepare. We will set off in an hour."

"Have you decided on a route, sir?"

"Master, let's go to Xiangfan first, we will discuss along the way,"

"Yes, sir,"

Going north from Xiangfan via Wudang Mountain is the shortest road from Longhu Mountain to Zhongbu County. Of course, there is another important reason, that is, the Xiangfan Military Region is the only military region that is "trading" with the Mongols among the major military regions. The only place of discussion was outside the city of Xiangyang. In the eyes of Kublai Khan, Lu Wende was the most money-hungry envoy among the border generals. Maybe I can take advantage of this.

Master Daofa needed to talk to Zhang Tianshi, so he left. After leaving, Fang Chenyi said: "Young Master Huyan, I will excuse you for a while. I need to hand over some trivial matters to Suo Wuji."

"Well, let's go,"

After Fang Chenyi and Suo Wuji left, I ordered: "Shen Mo, you return to Lin'an immediately, and notify the Queen Mother, Jia Sidao, and the deans of the military and political institutes, saying that I have something important to deal with at the moment, and I will return after more than a month." In Lin'an, just let them follow the established guidelines for affairs in the court, just like when I went to Dali, the queen mother supervises the court and takes care of the overall situation, Xie Daolin is the admiral of Lin'an, and Lan Yu is in charge of guarding the palace. He informed Lin Ying, the female martial arts instructor of the Lin family in the Imperial Forest Army, to also rush to Xiangyang immediately to take care of Linger,"

"Yes, son, the subordinate obeys,"

"Okay, Shen Mo, after you notify the queen mother, go directly to the Xiangfan military area with Lin Ying, and we will meet up there,"

Before I went to Dali, the Affiliated Hospital of the Yulin Army was officially established. Lin Ying was in charge of the hospital's protection and simple physical training for female nurses in the field. Of course, Lin Ying did not know my identity.

Not long after, Fang Chenyi came back alone and said, "Master Huyan, the old man asked Suo Wuji to go back first, and temporarily handle the affairs of the next alliance for me,"

"Well, Quanyi, do you need to find a car to facilitate Linger's travel?"

Fang Chen said differently: "Mr. Huyan, the distance from Longhu Mountain to Xiangfan is nearly two thousand miles. If you use a car, it will take too long. This old man suggests that I should take Ling'er with you."

I worried: "Can Ling'er's body take it?"

Zhang Quan said together: "My lord, Ling'er is fine now, you can try it, if it doesn't work, it's not too late to find a car,"

Yuan Ji also said: "Yes, young master, you can try it."

Fang Chenyi is Fang Ling's father and a master of martial arts, so naturally he wouldn't talk casually. I thought about it and said, "Okay, since everyone agrees, let's try."

After reuniting with Daofa master, we stepped on the imperial horse, whipped the horse, and galloped straight to Xiangyang.

Fang Chenyi was skilled at riding. Holding Fang Ling in one hand and manipulating the horse with the other, he still seemed to be able to do a job with ease, and his speed was not slow at all. When we left Longhu Mountain, I reined in and asked, "Mr. Fang, what's up?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Huyan, Ling'er is normal, the old man's right hand will detect Ling'er's situation at any time, and if there is a problem, he will stop immediately,"

"Okay, let's go,"

Passing through Poyang Lake, crossing Ezhou, crossing the Yangtze River, and on the seventh day after leaving Longhu Mountain, we entered the boundary of Yicheng County (now Yicheng City, Hubei Province). I took turns talking to the unconscious Fang Ling. I kept telling about the details of being with Fang Ling, and at the same time sang all the songs I knew to Fang Ling, even though I knew Fang Ling couldn't hear it at all. However, Fang Chenyi, Zhang Quanyi and others all think that this method has no effect, but I have been insisting on it, and I also ask Fang Chenyi to persist. I believe that the science of later generations must have a basis.

The distance from Yicheng County to Xiangyang is only more than 100 miles. That night, I asked Yuan Ji to inform the guards accompanying us in secret to replace all the royal horses we were riding so as not to attract attention. I may encounter Mongolian espionage, so I naturally dare not take it lightly.

At noon the next day, the simple and magnificent Xiangyang City appeared before our eyes.

Xiangyang City is surrounded by water on three sides, with mountains on one side. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it has been valued by military strategists of all dynasties. Xiangyang City is based on the upper reaches of the Han River. In the early years, the circumference was seven kilometers, and the widest part of the moat was 2000 meters. It can be called the first city in China. It has been known as "Xiangyang of iron" since ancient times.

Since Yue Fei recaptured Xiangyang City in the early Southern Song Dynasty, for more than a hundred years, it has been constantly reinforced and renovated, and after years of management by Marshal Meng Gong, Xiangyang City has become the first insurmountable fortified city in the Southern Song Dynasty.

In my memory, the most famous deeds in Xiangyang City are the feat of Guo Jing and his wife defending Xiangyang and the plot in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms described in Mr. Jin Yong's novels. The stories such as Longzhong Dui and Shuijing Villa have quite a real foundation, and the characters of the Three Kingdoms such as Zhuge Liang and Sima Hui all make people daydream.

Coming to the gazebo one mile in front of the city gate, Yuan Ji said: "Young Master, there is a mountain in the southeast of Xiangyang City, named Lumen Mountain, where the first phase of discussion between Mr. Lu and the Mongols was set up."

I subconsciously looked towards the southeast, and said, "Perhaps, it will become the main battlefield of Xiangyang War in the future,"

Wen Zhang said, "My lord, shall we go directly to the city?"

"Well, go to the city and find an inn near the mansion of Commander Lu Wende to stay first,"

Although Xiangyang City is a military center, its prosperity is far less than that of Lin'an. Near Lu Wende's mansion, we stayed in an inn called Longzhong. After Fang Ling settled down, I said to Wenzhang: "Wenzhang, you Go to Lu Wende's place, let the two brothers come here to meet me secretly, and let him bring the map around Xiangyang by the way."

"Yes, son, the subordinates will go immediately,"

I said "En" and said: "Everyone, you all go back to your room and have a rest first."

Looking at Fang Ling lying unconscious on the bed, I couldn't help but feel lonely.

Fang Ling is very aware of the depth of my martial arts and knows that I am not his father's opponent at all. Although Fang Ling didn't know what happened in the Xiaoyao Pavilion that day, he just thought that I had a conflict with his father and was worried about my safety. Everything rushed in, trying to protect me, but I didn't expect that I was fine, but she encountered misfortune,
