Daming wolf ride

Updated: 2012-11-30

In the dark night, a group of golden soldiers followed the hoof prints in the grass and found the corpses one after another.After repeated confirmation, Shideba Yilegan rushed to the official road to report urgently to Jiala Erzhen Ashan and Erfu Darhan who had been waiting impatiently: "Erin, Lord Ezhen, it is Zu Dashou who died!"

"what?!"

Hearing that it was Zu Dashou who died, Daerhan's horsewhip fell to the ground in shock. He was stunned at Ilgen, his lips closed and parted, not knowing what to say.

The death of Zu Dashou made Ah Shan extremely shocked. He glanced at Darhan and said in disbelief, "Zu Dashou is the forward commander of the Ming Kingdom, who can kill him except us?! Who did this? "[

"You ask me, who do I ask?"

Darhan said in a muffled voice, "Once Zu Dashou dies, the city of Jinzhou cannot be cheated. Let's go and report to King Khan!"

"Okay, this matter must be reported to King Khan as soon as possible!"

The matter was so important that Ah Shan didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly turned his horse and headed to the camp.

However, Yilegen asked a little more: "What about the corpse of Zu Dashou?"

"What can a dead person do, don't worry about it, let's go." Ah Shan ignored Zu Dashou's body, whipped his horse and ran away.

Darhan was stunned for a moment, thinking that since a person is dead, he has no value, and it doesn't matter whether he takes the corpse home or not, he might as well feed those wild dogs.He waved his hand at Ilgen, motioning for him to follow, and rode his horse back.

…………

It was very late at night, and people in the city had already gone to bed, but in the Buddhist hall behind the ancestral house, there was a middle-aged beautiful woman who was reciting the "Lotus Sutra" devoutly in front of the Buddha's incense.

The Buddha statue was placed on the desk, and the incense was half burned, and the curling cigarette slowly drifted into the Buddhist hall, smelling a faint fragrance.

Outside the house, the watchman had already knocked on the clapper of the third watch, but this beautiful woman never stopped thinking, she was reciting the Buddhist scriptures in a low voice from the beginning to the end, not being disturbed by the wind, she only cared for her husband and three sons. Buddha begged for blessings.

This middle-aged beautiful woman is Zu Dashou's wife, Li Shi, whose natal family is Li's family, who is a scholar from western Liaoning. It has been 14 years since her father married Zu Dashou, who was a guerrilla at the age of 25. Over the past 25 years, the Li family has adhered to women's morality, respected the old mother of Dashou, and gave birth to three sons for Dashou. The eldest son Zerun is twenty-five, the second son Zechuan is eighteen, and the youngest son Zehong is sixteen.

The third son doesn't look like Da Shou, but rather resembles Li Shi, so Da Shou often feels that his wife is too beautiful, but the son he has is not like his father.Fortunately, the three sons have similar personalities as Jishou, and they are all good at wielding knives and spears, so that the ancestors will not be cut off from the family.

Although she has given birth to three sons, Li's figure is not out of shape. She is the same as when she was young. In addition, she has always taken care of herself. Although she is nearly forty, she looks like she is in her early thirties, and her charm is still there.Dashou also loves her beauty. Every time I go home from Jinzhou, apart from kowtowing to my mother, I like to stay in the house with Mrs. Li, and they are lingering. I think I will do my best to let my wife give birth to the ancestral family. Daughter, it may be that Dashou is old, and has been fighting all year round, and her body has been affected. Although she has cultivated and sowed many times, Mrs. Li has given birth again.

Fortunately, no matter how well maintained she is, she is a woman in her late 40s who has a child at an older age. I am afraid that no matter how well maintained she is, she will not be able to keep her appearance, and her figure will also lose shape.

Since June's birthday was ordered by the supervisor Sun Chengzong to go to the Daling River to build a city, Li has been worried. Although she is a woman, Li's insight into the situation is higher than her birthday. He once persuaded him, "Today, Donglu is very powerful. It is not ten years ago. The offensive and defensive trend has changed. Now he has the right to take the initiative. The Ming Dynasty passively defends. Although the supervisor intends to expand the land, Donglu may not be able to achieve it." Superintendent, don’t you hear that others are allowed to sleep soundly on the side of the couch, thinking that the day your wife sees it, the day the Daling River was built is the day when the Donglu left the army. The Daling River is twenty or thirty miles away from Jinzhou, and the Donglu is like a besieged city. If there is a rescue, the husband will be in danger. It is better to build the Xiaoling River and plan it slowly. Even if there is danger, Jinzhou and Xiaoling River are only a dozen miles away, and they will definitely not be in a desperate situation, and both advances and retreats can be achieved .”

Although Dashou knew what his wife said was right, the construction of Daling River City was the intention of Sun Dushi, and it is not easy to change.Therefore, I persuade Li to bring more than [-] civilians this time, and the city is being built in hot weather, and the eastern captives are not heat-resistant, so they may not come to stop them.Just urge the folks to build the city quickly, and when the weather turns cold, it will be too late for the Eastern Prisoners to come again.

Hearing this, Mrs. Li didn't know how to rebuild the city, so she had to tell Dashou to be careful, and asked Dashou to only bring his eldest son with him, and leave Ze Chuan and Ze Hong to accompany him in Ningyuan. I want to go to Daling River with my father.Dashou also wanted his second son to accompany him in the army in order to grind his son.

Li Shinai advised his father and son not to do so, so he could only tell Dashou to be more careful, write more letters from home, and report that he is safe. [

The situation was exactly as Li expected, Dashou built the city for more than half a month, and the Eastern Captives came here regardless of the heat, trapping Dashou and more than [-] soldiers and civilians in the city.

After the news came, Mrs. Li was very anxious. She never burned incense and kowtowed, so she went to the Dabei Pavilion on Juehua Island to offer incense and make a wish.This Buddhist hall was also set up in the back hall, where it is necessary to chant scriptures and pray for the husband and son every morning and evening.

Usually, Li Shi also went to rest before the first watch. Today, for some reason, her left eye kept twitching violently. The old man said that a man who is left and a woman is right is a happy dance. If it is reversed, it is a disaster. .

Although Li Shi has been familiar with the classics and history since she was a child, she is knowledgeable and reasonable, and does not believe in the theory of ghosts and ghosts, but after all, it is her husband and her own flesh and blood who are trapped in the city, so how can she be at ease.The harder the beating, the more nervous her heart became.He didn't even eat dinner, so he came to this Buddhist hall alone and began to chant scriptures, which lasted for several hours.The maid serving outside the house changed twice, but she didn't move at all.

In the lingering cigarette smoke, you can even see tears on her face, pear blossoms with rain, so touching.

Bodhisattva, please bless my husband, Run'er, Chuan'er, and Hong'er to turn the bad luck into good luck and return soon. At that time, the believer will go to the Great Compassion Pavilion to gild the Bodhisattva's body with gold, and open a month of good fortune in the city. shed……

Silently making a wish, the voice of the maid Lu Cui came from her ear, "Ma'am, the second master is here."

"The second master is here?!..."

Li's body trembled, and his face turned pale: Da Le came here late at night, there must be news from her husband!But seeing you late at night, could it be? …

Mrs. Li didn't dare to think about it, so she pulled herself together, wiped away the tears on her face with her sleeve, and rushed to the living room with the support of Lu Cui.

The second master that Lucui mentioned was Dashou's cousin Zu Dale who was serving as the deputy general in Jinzhou. After receiving the definite news that the army was wiped out in the afternoon, he immediately rushed to Ningyuan to tell his sister-in-law about the news, so she could ask her Quickly come forward to gather people from all parties, immediately go to Beijing to manage the court, and persuade the emperor to send reinforcements, otherwise, the big brother will definitely be finished.

After the maid went to report, another servant brought tea and snacks. Da Le worked hard all the way, and didn't care about being rude, so he started to gobble it up there.

Seeing Da Le, Li quickly stepped forward and asked anxiously: "Second uncle came here late at night, could it be that your husband has news?"

"Uh..." Da Le was stuffing his mouth with a snack, unable to swallow it for a while, and didn't know where to start.

Seeing him like this, Li Shi became more and more anxious, Huarong turned pale and said: "Second uncle, could it be that your eldest brother and nephew have already..."

Zu Dale hurriedly swallowed the snack, then waved his hands and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, things are not that bad."

Li Shi was startled: "Then why are you here?" She looked at Da Le suspiciously.

"The younger brother came to tell his sister-in-law that Mr. Zhang Chun led the army to help today, but..." Speaking of this, Zu Dale sighed sadly, "The whole army was wiped out."

"The whole army was wiped out?" Li Shi was startled, and his heart hung up: "Then your elder brother and them?"

Zu Dale shook his head and said: "The situation is unknown, after a few days, send someone to inquire about it."

Li Shi gritted her teeth and said nothing, but her eyes were already red.

Dale saw her, and hurriedly persuaded her: "Sister-in-law, don't worry too much. Forgive me for saying something that is not pleasant to you. Even if elder brother really can't hold on, it may not be what sister-in-law thinks."

"What does Second Uncle mean by that?" Mrs. Li was a little puzzled.

Zu Dale glanced at Lu Cui, Mrs. Li understood, and hurriedly raised her hand to signal Lu Cui to go down.After Lu Cui went down, Da Le whispered: "If the elder brother really can't hold on, the younger brother thinks that the elder brother might drop the gold."

"Gold drop?!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Li was agitated and furiously said: "Second Uncle's words must not be heard by others. What a hero your elder brother is, how could he have surrendered Donglu! If he really surrendered Donglu, I will hit him to death Forget it, so you don’t have to ask people to gossip behind their backs!”

Seeing Mrs. Li was angry, Zu Dale hurriedly advised: "Sister-in-law calm down, there are now hundreds of generals who have surrendered to gold, and they have all been treated with courtesy. According to my younger brother, Mrs. Hong is also outstanding, and today he has a strong army and a strong horse in the Kingdom of Jin." , I am very clear about him, maybe in the future, Mrs. Hong can really take over the world. If the elder brother really can't hold on, it may not be a bright way to surrender him."

Hearing Zu Dale's words, Li Shi looked at Dale in surprise, then his face darkened, and he said angrily: "Second uncle, I heard that loyal ministers don't serve second masters, and strong women don't marry second husbands. In the world of life, integrity is the most important thing Important. Imagine if I remarry without your eldest brother, how will you think of me as a sister-in-law?"

Zu Dale sighed and said: "As a minister, who is willing to betray the Lord and seek glory easily? Many people are forced to do so. The sage treats his ministers with courtesy, and his ministers treat him with loyalty; the emperor treats his ministers like grass, The minister regards the emperor as an enemy. Yuan Dutang was loyal, but was cut alive. Every time I think of this, my Liao army officers and soldiers are heartbroken and resentful. If it really comes to the point where it is impossible to defend, it is because the elder brother does not want to go this way. It's impossible for the people below him to support him to take this step. Sister-in-law should be careful, and don't be too angry. After all, there is no news at the moment. The younger brother came to find his sister-in-law late at night, so he asked her to come forward, arrange the court, and come back as soon as possible. Send reinforcements."

However, Mrs. Li was uncharacteristically, and angrily scolded Da Le: "I heard that the ruler is the sky, the ministers are the earth, and the ruler's faults are like the eclipse of the sun and the moon. How can the ministers defect to the enemy because of the passing of the ruler! Second uncle, please!" Send someone to investigate the situation quickly, if your eldest brother really takes this step, I will die."

Zu Dale complained, although he knew that this sister-in-law was fierce, but he didn't want her to be so steadfast, and he only guessed which step his elder brother might take, so he gave her some advice in advance, so that she would be prepared in advance, so that she would not be caught in time. take things too hard.Unexpectedly, she didn't want to be aggressive, but reprimanded herself like this.Standing there, green and red, very embarrassing.

Seeing Da Le like this, Li's heart softened, he sighed slightly, and said: "Second Uncle, you should rest in the mansion for one night, and I will go to Jinzhou with you in the morning of tomorrow. No matter what, you must know that your elder brother and nephew My children's situation, I can only settle down. No matter what happens, I will not stay in Ningyuan City for a moment, even if I look at your elder brother on the city wall."

"This..." Da Le was stunned, thinking that something was wrong, the sister-in-law is a woman, no matter how Zhuge Kongming is, she is a woman after all, if she really wants to go to Jinzhou, if she finds out that the elder brother has surrendered gold or there is bad news, she How would I explain to my aunt if I didn't hit my head to death?

"There is nothing wrong with this. I have made up my mind. I will go to Jinzhou tomorrow. I will arrange some things. I have to pay a visit to Mr. Futai and ask him to write to the imperial court to send reinforcements. It's not early, two Uncle has worked hard all the way, let's go and rest now."

Once Li Shi made up his mind, even Dashou couldn't persuade him, let alone Da Le, Nai, Zu Da Le had no choice but to agree.Mrs. Li told him a few more words about his aunt, then called Lucui, washed up and went to sleep.
