Chapter 71 Waiting for your return
Chapter 71 Waiting for your return
At the beginning of February, Tuobayao ordered Mu Zhanyue to lead the Beimo Allied Forces to continue southward to attack Taixing, while Lu Xiao, as Mu Zhanyue's follow-up, led troops to Yuzhou.
In Qingzhou City, Feng Junyang and others have also received the news that Yuzhou has fallen.Yang Yi showed some doubts on his face, and said: "The loss of Yuzhou is a bit strange. With the strength of the He family, it shouldn't be so easy to lose Yuzhou. Ask Qiu Muling to lead troops to fight against Taixing City."
How could Feng Junyang fail to see through the twists and turns? Hearing the words, he laughed mockingly, and said, "If you lose the city, you can take it back. If everyone is dead, there will be no drama. I'm afraid He Zhen gave up on purpose." Yuzhou, so as to preserve our strength and wait for us to go to the rescue."
Yang Yi was silent for a moment, then couldn't help sighing: "Then He Zhen's move is too risky, if we don't go to the rescue, won't he just sit and wait for death?"
After hearing this, veteran Mo Heng immediately said: "How can we not save it? Do you want to watch aliens seize my city and slaughter my compatriots?"
"Yes, how can we not save it?" Feng Junyang chuckled mockingly, once Taixing really fell into Tuobayao's hands, Wanjiang's natural danger would not be enough.Tuobayao can not only go straight to the south of the Yangtze River, but also seize Yiping first, making Qing and Ji prefectures dead.He Zhen was sure of this, so he acted like this, forcing him to send troops.But to send troops westward, they must first capture Xinye from Murong Heng.
In mid-February, Feng Junyang ordered Mo Heng to lead an army of [-] from Qingzhou to reinforce Wu'an and assist Zheng Lun in attacking Xinye and Lintong.
Zheng Lun personally picked up Mo Heng from outside the city, and said: "At the beginning Murong Heng led an army of [-] to march eastward, attacking the city and occupying territory all the way, and lost some troops. It's just that they occupied the convenient location to defend the city, and Xinye, Lintong They are like horns of each other, no matter which one to attack, the soldiers from the other city will surely rescue them quickly, and our army will be attacked by the enemy."
Although Mo Heng's qualifications are old, he is a humble and prudent person. Hearing this, he said: "This is what the old man has been thinking about all the time. We must try to break his horns first."
"Exactly." Zheng Lun nodded, seeing Mo Heng's tired face, he said again, "The old general has worked hard all the way, why don't you rest for a night, and then call everyone to discuss the war tomorrow."
Mo Heng promised that Zheng Lun ordered someone to arrange a house for Mo Heng and his accompanying soldiers to rest.After a while, the general who was in charge of reception came to look for Zheng Lun and secretly reported: "General, Old General Mo is accompanied by a young woman."
Zheng Lun was a little surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Woman?"
"That's right," the general replied, "Although she's pretending to be a soldier, it's just that her appearance and figure make her look like a woman, and she looks familiar, like the girl Lingque from Qingfeng Village."
This general had once fought against Yiping with Zheng Lun, and he had seen sparrows before. Since he said he looked like one, he probably was sparrows.The sparrow was looking for Lu Xiao at first, why did it appear here now?Zheng Lun felt vigilant, thought for a while, and asked again: "Does Old General Mo know?"
The general replied: "At least I know she is a woman, so I asked her to live in a room by herself."
Zheng Lun pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then ordered: "In this case, you should watch her secretly first, and don't startle the snake."
The general led the order to go. Although Zheng Lun was suspicious of Lingque, he couldn't go past Mo Heng to find her directly. He only said casually when talking to Mo Heng the next day: "Old General Mo, you There is a soldier next to me that looks familiar to me, the one who is not tall and fair-skinned, but his surname is Lu?"
Mo Heng was stunned for a moment, and then realized who Zheng Lun was talking about, and couldn't help laughing: "It's true that her surname is Lu, but she is a girl. Why, do you know her?"
Zheng Lun nodded and said, "Yes, I don't know how she got to you?"
Mo Heng replied: "When I came, Yang Yi entrusted it to me. He said it was his friend in Juyi Village. Although she was a girl, she wanted to go to battle and kill the enemy. She didn't even want to stay in Qingzhou. Yang Yi couldn't do it. That's why I put it here." At this point, Mo Heng suddenly remembered that Zheng Lun and Juyizhai had joined forces to attack Yiping, and said, "Since she is from Juyizhai, you should have seen her in Yiping."
"It was in Yiping." Zheng Lun paused, and continued, "It's just that she left Juyi Village a long time ago and went to look for Lu Xiao outside the pass."
"Lu Xiao?"
Zheng Lun's brows were serious, and he said: "It's Tuobayao's vanguard general, Bu Liuguxiao, Lu Xiao was his Chinese name when he was walking in the Central Plains. At that time when Yiping was captured, I led the troops back to Qingzhou, leaving Song Yan behind. They are stationed in Yiping together with Juyi Village. According to Song Yan, Lu Lingque fell in love with Lu Xiao, and long before He Ze attacked Yiping, he went to look for Lu Xiao outside the pass."
If Lingque was indeed with Bu Liuguxiao before, but now he suddenly came to the army, his purpose is extremely suspicious.Mo Heng said: "I'll call her here and ask her."
He called his confidant soldiers to go out, and brought the spirit bird dressed as a soldier over after a while.As soon as Lingque came in and saw Zheng Lun, he saluted him calmly and said, "Lingque has seen General Zheng."
Zheng Lun nodded slightly, and asked her directly: "Miss Lu, aren't you following Lu Xiao? Why are you here?"
Lingque seemed to have expected that Zheng Lun would ask this question, and replied in a deep voice: "General Zheng, I know you will suspect that I am here to do meticulous work for Lu Xiao. However, you are wrong. I am from Xia, I came here to join the army because I just wanted to kill the enemy and serve the country, and save my compatriots from the swords of other races. I came back with me, Brother Wen and Brother Silly. Brother Wen was not good at martial arts, so he stayed with General Yang in Qingzhou. Silly But I was a small soldier in the army. Because I am a woman, General Yang refused to let me into the barracks, so he entrusted me to General Mo."
Her words were clear and fluent, and she didn't seem to be telling lies.Zheng Lun couldn't tell whether she was sincere or fake for a while, so he looked at Mo Heng and said, "Miss Lu, it's not that Zheng Lun doesn't want to trust you, it's just for safety's sake, I can't keep you and Shada in the army, I have to ask someone to take you back to Qingzhou."
Lingque came back from outside the pass, thinking about going to battle to kill the enemy, now that Zheng Lun not only suspected that she was the secret agent of the Xian family, but also wanted to send her back to Qingzhou, he was inevitably a little anxious, and argued with him a few more words, but he still couldn't change his mind He couldn't help but said angrily: "Since that's the case, you don't have to send us back to Qingzhou, let's go on our own, go back to the mountains and raise the flag of righteousness, call for righteous men, and we can kill the Xian clan."
Zheng Lun was unmoved, and just said lightly: "Miss Lu can do this, but before that, I have to hand you over to Yang Yi."
Although Lingque was annoyed in her heart, she couldn't help Zheng Lun. She suppressed her anger and cupped her hands at Zheng Lun and Mo Heng. Then she said goodbye and left. When she didn't expect the door, she stopped again, turned around and asked Zheng Lun, "General Zheng, Can I take a step and say something?"
Zheng Lun looked at her twice, followed her out of the room, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Unexpectedly, Ling Que asked, "General Zheng, do you know where Chen Nian is now?"
After the Battle of Yiping, the troops from Juyi Village were merged into Feng Junyang's army, but Chen Nian suddenly disappeared.Ling Que, Wen Daya and others came back from Mobei, and asked Yang Yi about Chen Nian's whereabouts. Yang Yi only said that Chen Nian went to Jiangnan with Chaoyangzi and Jing Yuxuan, and he couldn't ask any more.
For some reason, Lingque didn't believe it.
Zheng Lun was startled when Lingque suddenly asked about Chen Nian.For more than a year, he had tried his best to forget the name, and now that he heard it, he felt a little complicated, and subconsciously avoided Lingque's sight, and replied, "I don't know."
Lingque was a little disappointed, but he had no choice but to leave with others.
Zheng Lun stood outside again, then turned back to the house, and said to Mo Heng: "The old general, please send more people to send Lu Lingque and her companions back to Qingzhou."
The sparrow was brought by Mo Heng, so he should send someone to send it back.Mo Heng specially allocated a small group of cavalry to send Lingque and Shada off.Silly waited in Qingzhou for more than half a year, and finally got the opportunity to go to the expedition. He didn't want to be sent back without even fighting. Discuss it carefully, if it doesn't work, go to Shengdu to search for Chennian, and gather a new rebel army, so as not to be angry at the hands of these people."
The two of them hurried back to Qingzhou, discussed with Wen Daya in the middle of the night, and decided to go to Shengdu Xunchennian.When he didn't want to talk to Yang Yi about this matter, Yang Yi didn't allow it. He just said: "In Jiangbei's current situation, you can hear the news no matter where you are. Since Chen Nian didn't come, it was because of her embarrassment. I need to find her again."
Lingque didn't know that the daughter of the He family that Feng Junyang married was Chen Nian, and that she was angry with Feng Junyang because Feng Junyang married someone else, so she couldn't help saying: "We fight against the Xian family for the sake of the suffering people. , and it's not because of him, Feng Junyang, what embarrassment can Chen Nian have? Besides, Feng Junyang has married the daughter of the He family's prostitute, what is Chen Nian still doing in Shengdu? It's time to turn around and leave, and go back to our Taihang Mountains."
Yang Yi pursed his lips slightly, not knowing how to answer Lingque.He is more informed than Zheng Lun. Although Feng Junyang suppressed Chen Nian's breaking into the palace, Yang Yi still heard some news, and vaguely guessed that Chen Nian was no longer in Shengdu.It's just that these things are not easy to discuss with Wen Da Ya and the others.
Seeing Yang Yi's reaction like this, Wen Daya felt something was wrong, so he couldn't help but look at Yang Yi more, and asked, "Yang Yi, do you have something to hide from us?"
Yang Yi smiled covertly and said, "What can I hide from you?"
Wen Daya said seriously: "I know you are considered Feng Junyang's person now, but you must not forget who saved your two brothers and sisters under the knife. If it wasn't for the year of Chen, the grass on the graves of us I don’t know how many stubbles have grown, and you have to have a conscience, and you can’t use this human skin for nothing.”
Wen Daya has always liked to be a good person, and he doesn't easily speak harsh words to others. These words came out of his mouth very seriously. Yang Yi was silent for a moment, got up and went to the window to carefully inspect the situation outside, and then came back He whispered: "It's a long story, and I don't know the details. I only know that Chen Nian is not in Shengdu right now, but should be in Nantaihang."
Wen Daya and the others were all taken aback for a moment, wondering: "Southern Taihang?"
"Well," Yang Yi nodded, and he deduced this from Shunping's words, "It's probably between Qingfengzhai and Yiping, but I don't know where exactly. If you want to find her, go there Find."
This range seems small, but if you are really looking for someone, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.Wen Daya, Ling Que, and Sha Da went to the South Taihang from the spring season, and searched for two or three months, but they couldn't find the trace of Chen Nian, so they had no choice but to return to Qingzhou.
At this time, Zheng Lun and Mo Heng have fought hard and regained Xinye and Lintong from Murongbu.
In August, Feng Junyang gathered a total of 20 troops from Qingzhou, Hebei, Lu, and Xiangzhou in the north of the Yangtze River, and came out of Qingzhou to the west.When resting during the march, Feng Junyang likes to look at the southeast direction most.He has had this problem since he arrived in Qingzhou. Just looking at his expression, Shunping knew that he must have thought of Chen Nian and his daughter again. He sighed secretly, and then stepped forward to call Feng Junyang softly: "My lord?"
Feng Jun Yang didn't move. After a while, he suddenly asked Shunping in a low voice: "What do you think she is doing now? That child can crawl?"
Shunping really didn't know what Chen Nian would do now, but the second question couldn't help him, and he said with a smile: "I should be able to crawl, as the saying goes, turn over three times, sit six times, and climb up, the little princess is not It’s been more than eight months, so I should be able to climb.”
"My daughter must be faster than other children." Xu Shi thought of the ridiculous appearance of her daughter crawling around, Feng Junyang couldn't help but curled up the corners of his mouth, but the corners of his mouth only curled up for a moment, and then turned again. He sank down, even his eyes couldn't help but dim.
He misses his daughter here, but in Chennian, his daughter Xiaobao has made his head big. Xiaobao, who is more than eight months old, not only knows how to crawl, but also climbs extremely fast.When Chennian went out to pour water, she climbed from the inside of the kang to the edge of the kang, and fell headfirst. Thanks to Chen's young skills, she swept from the door to the edge of the kang in the blink of an eye, and then copied it before her daughter fell to the ground. Living.
Chen Nian was anxious and angry, but Xiao Bao thought it was a fun game, so he grinned happily.For such a child who didn't understand anything, Chen Nian lost his temper, carried her out of the house, and discussed with the landlady, Mrs. Yang: "Ma'am, let's find a rope to tie Xiaobao up, so as not to lose sight of it." Stop, she's about to fall off the kang."
Mrs. Yang was choosing vegetables in the yard. Hearing this, she let out an exaggerated "Ouch". She threw away the vegetables and came over and hugged Xiaobao from Chen Nian's arms. Child, there is no other way. But you don’t have to go to the fields or work, and you can’t even look down on a child, so you have the nerve to tie our little treasure!”
Chen Nian felt that he was in the wrong, and sat down awkwardly to choose dishes.Mrs. Yang put Xiaobao on the mat under the shade of the tree, told Chen Nian to watch carefully, and then turned to the kitchen to cook.Chen Nian responded, seeing Xiao Bao holding a piece of peeled cucumber in both hands and eating happily, he couldn't help leaning over to discuss with his daughter in a low voice: "My dear little treasure, let mother take a bite, okay?" ?”
How could Xiaobao understand this, he thought that Chen Nian was coaxing her to play, so he just grinned and giggled.Chen Nian also grinned happily at her, and leaned over to take a big bite on the cucumber.Xiaobao was stunned, looked up at his mother, then looked down at the short piece of cucumber left in his hand, and burst into tears with a "wow".
Mrs. Yang just got angry there, when she heard the child crying outside, she hurried out to have a look. Seeing that Xiaobao was sitting on the mat, she was relieved, and asked Chennian, "Why are you crying again?"
Chen Nian got into trouble, and he didn't swallow the cucumber in his mouth, so he didn't dare to respond, he just hugged Xiao Bao up and coaxed him.He didn't want to coax Xiaobao, but felt even more wronged, and cried even louder.
Mrs. Yang was young and widowed, and she supported her family only because of her hot temper, and because Chen Nian had lived with her for a long time, she had long been treated as a half-daughter.Seeing that Chen Nian couldn't coax Xiaobao well, Mrs. Yang walked this way while patting the dust on her hands, complaining, "You are such a big man, why can't you even coax a child?"
"Xiaobao doesn't cry, mother-in-law hugs." She hugged Xiaobao from Chennian's arms, just coaxed a few words, accidentally saw the cucumber handle in Xiaobao's hand, and suddenly understood the reason why the child was crying, and then Turning around, Chen Nian was nowhere to be seen.Mrs. Yang was angry and annoyed, but she couldn't catch Chen Nian. She stood angrily in the yard and yelled, "You woman, you don't eat the basket full of cucumbers, but you come to grab the child's mouth and make the child cry. You It's also fortunate that I live by myself, if I follow other people's mother-in-law, it won't be dark eight times a day!"
She was counting vigorously, when she heard someone knocking on the courtyard door outside, she raised her voice and asked angrily, "Who is it?"
I didn't want the person outside the door to have a bad temper, so he just yelled: "Open the door! It's Taoist."
Mrs. Yang was stunned for a moment when she heard the voice, but Chen Nian quickly flashed out of the kitchen, ran to open the courtyard door, and asked in surprise, "Daozhang, why are you here?"
Chaoyangzi was dressed in dust and dust, and when he entered the door, he gave Chen Nian an angry look, and didn't answer her. He just walked to Pozi Yang's side to look at Xiaobao, and asked, "Has Xiaobao grown so big?"
When he left, Little Treasure had just emerged from the full moon, and his appearance had not yet bloomed, but now he was white and clean, fat and cute.She is already very good-looking, and she loves to smile. When people get close, she will first grin at you, showing a few small teeth that have just emerged, and you can't help but want to grin along with her.
Mrs. Yang knew that the dark-faced Taoist priest had a very bad temper, so she was a little afraid of him, so she hurriedly said: "The Taoist priest has come all the way, please sit down and rest for a while, the old lady will cook for you soon." .”
Mrs. Yang put the child into Chennian's arms, glared at her secretly, and warned her not to make the child cry anymore, then went to the room to bring the teapot and teacups over, and then turned to cook in the kitchen. Go out to talk to Chennian and Chaoyangzi.
Chaoyangzi was thirsty on the road, so he poured two cups of tea in a row before stopping.
Chen Nian glanced at him and asked, "Have you found my master yet?"
Chaoyangzi sighed, and replied, "I found it after looking for it, but it was useless."
Chen Nian wondered, "How do you say that?"
Chaoyangzi was silent for a while, and then he talked about Jing Yuxuan.In the past few months, he has chased Jing Yuxuan all the way from Lingnan to Jiangbei. The last time the two met was in Taixing. Jing Yuxuan's internal energy seemed to suddenly become controllable. Xuan shot and wounded Chaoyangzi, and said that she had found someone who could help her practice the Wuyun magic skills. If he went to obstruct and make trouble again, don't blame her for not missing the old love.
"Taixing?" Chen Nian suddenly thought of a person, "Could it be the ghost hand white chapter?"
Chao Yangzi nodded slowly: "I guess it's also that person."
Chen Nian frowned, and said: "How can that person be trusted? Although he used medicine to widen my meridians, it was a coincidence that I practiced magic skills, not all because of this."
First, she was seriously injured and her internal strength was exhausted, and then Baizhang accidentally widened her meridians, and after experiencing life and death, the vast true energy of the five aggregates magical power was revived.But even so, that zhenqi didn't exist in her meridians forever, it just appeared with time, and then disappeared without a trace.
As a doctor, Chaoyangzi knew it better, so he said, "That's right, I think that Baizhang might have used medicine to forcibly widen your master's meridians, but this five-aggregate magical skill emphasizes the emptying of all five aggregates, is' There is a switch between 'without' and 'nothing', if you can't achieve 'nothing', even if you stretch the meridians to the extreme, you can't endure such a domineering qi for a long time, and you can't escape the end of the meridian exhaustion in the end. That's all, everyone There are opportunities for everyone, I have tried my best, let her go."
After saying this, both Chennian and Chaoyangzi couldn't help but fell silent, only Xiaobao didn't know how to worry, even though he was sitting in Chennian's arms, he looked at Chaoyangzi curiously and babbled at him.Seeing her cuteness, Chaoyangzi couldn't help stretching out his arms to hold her in his arms, but asked Chen Nian, "So Feng Junyang really never came again?"
Chen Nian shook his head and said, "No."
Chaoyangzi was quite surprised: "It's strange, why is he so trustworthy this time? Could it be that he is really focused on fighting for the world?"
Just as he was talking, Xiaobao suddenly grabbed Chaoyangzi's sparse goatee, pulled it until Chaoyangzi grinned, and shouted: "Oh, tell the little girl to let go, or Daoist's beard will be buried in her hands." gone."
He reacted like this, but Xiaobao laughed happily, even dropped the cucumber in the other hand, and grabbed Chaoyangzi's beard with both hands.Seeing this, Chen Nian hurriedly stepped forward to break Xiaobao's hand, hugged her back, and looked at Chaoyangzi's beards with a guilty conscience.Chaoyangzi's hair and beard are sparse, and it's not easy to grow this beard. Xiaobao tore off several of them, so he felt distressed. But Xiaobao didn't understand everything, so he kept grinning at him, and he couldn't even tell him to get angry. I had no choice but to stare at Chen Nian a few times.
Chen Nian hurriedly smiled at him, changed the subject, and asked, "Do you want to stay for a while, Taoist priest?"
Hearing her ask about this, Chaoyangzi's face was serious, and he said seriously: "Chen Nian, I came here this time to find you on business. At the beginning of the year, Yuzhou was destroyed by Qiu Mulingyue. Now, Qiu Muling led troops to besiege Taixing again..."
"Master Daoist!" Chen Nian interrupted Chao Yangzi's words suddenly, "That's the retribution the He family deserves. Open your eyes, good and evil will be rewarded."
Chaoyangzi was stunned, stood up abruptly after a while, and said angrily: "But Taixing is not just the Taixing of the He family, once Taixing falls, the whole south of the Yangtze River will be exposed to the iron hooves of the Xian clan! Can you still only care about personal grievances?"
Chen Nian looked up at Chaoyangzi, but asked, "Master Dao, that day I ran out of Shengdu City with Xiao Qi's body on my back, do you know what was going on in my heart? I wonder how this man's heart can be so despicable." Dangerous? I wonder why God is so indistinguishable from right from wrong? I can't wait for the Xian clan's army to fight all the way from Jingyang to Shengdu, killing all these hypocritical and shameless royal nobles and powerful families. world!"
"Chennian..." Chaoyangzi didn't want Chennian to have such resentment in his heart, and was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Chen Nian lowered his eyes, calmed down his mind, and then said again: "Master Dao, you know my background, I have half of Xian's blood flowing in me, even, if possible, I wish I could let go of the other half." The blood of the He family. Daoist Master, it is not easy for me to be able to help each other."
Chaoyangzi stood there, and after a while, he asked aloud, "Is it okay for the sake of the common people?"
Chen Nian was also silent. After a long while, he laughed at himself and replied: "Master Dao, the people are too important. It should be the responsibility of those who are ambitious in the world, not me. I just want to raise Xiaobao, I don't want to Call her like me."
The courtyard fell into silence again, Chaoyangzi stood there for a while, said nothing, turned around and strode out of the courtyard.Chen Nian didn't get up to see him off, but slowly lowered his head, put his forehead against his daughter's small head, closed his eyes and breathed in the unique sweet breath of a baby.
Unknowingly, the corners of her eyes were wet. She didn't want to fight any more, judge who was good and who was evil, and she didn't want to sacrifice her life for righteousness.She just wanted to grow up with Xiaobao, to go up the mountain to see Ye Xiaoqi and Xiaoliu from time to time, and to live peacefully in this remote town like this.
In the third year of Xinwu, since the beginning of summer, the war in Jiangbei has become more and more tense.Feng Junyang's army chased Murong Heng from the east all the way, and slowly advanced towards Yuzhou.At the end of August, Tuoba Yao hid a large army in the north of Xuanzhou, passed through Yanci Mountain on an unknown ancient road, avoided Qingzhou, and came to Jizhou.
When Yang Yi of Qingzhou got the news, he immediately sent troops to stop it, but because of the huge difference in the strength of the two sides, he failed to stop the Xian's army and asked him to go around the northern end of Taihang Mountain and enter the northern part of Jizhou.However, Xue Shengxian in Jizhou was timid and afraid of fighting, and he could not shrink back. He let the army of the Xian family pass through the border and went south to Yiping.
Yiping is no better than Taixing, because it has a high city and deep pools to rely on. Once Yiping is lost, not to mention the north-south passage of Feng Junyang will be cut off, even Qingzhou will not be able to protect it.At that time, Feng Junyang's 20 army marching westward will become a lone army.
When Feng Junyang got the news in the army, he couldn't help laughing angrily, and said: "Xue Shengxian, Xue Shengxian, I don't think he can be so stupid!" He was rarely angry like this, and there was a dead silence in the tent.After a while, one of the generals asked for orders: "General, at the end of the day, I would like to lead the troops back east to rescue Yiping, and kill those Xian clan people."
Feng Junyang looked gloomy, and said coldly: "Tuobayao now wished that I would divide the troops so that they could be defeated one by one. If you don't believe me, once I divide the troops back to rescue Yiping, Tuobayao will have no scruples and will immediately send a large army from Jingyang Go south. At that time, not only will we not be able to save Yuzhou, but we will also be in danger."
Zheng Lun thought for a while, but asked: "Can you still send troops from Jiangnan to directly rescue Yiping?"
This time, 20 troops followed Feng Junyang to the west, and tens of thousands stayed behind in Xinye and Lintong. This already accounted for more than half of Feng Junyang's troops. Even if there are some troops in Jiangnan, they should not be moved lightly.Feng Junyang pondered for a moment, and said: "In the current situation, we can only dispatch troops from the south of the Yangtze River to the north to solve the difficulties in Yiping, and besides, it is closer to Yiping."
Staff member Han Hua raised his eyes to look at Feng Junyang, but did not make a sound, and waited until there was no one else in the tent, and then said to Feng Junyang: "My lord, Jiangnan is no better than our Yunxi. Although the kings surnamed Qi are destroyed, the remaining evils are not eliminated , You transferred all the soldiers and horses there, but have you ever thought about how to suppress them if someone takes the opportunity to revolt?"
How could Feng Junyang not consider this matter, he couldn't help but smile wryly when he heard the words, and said: "I was too arrogant before, I lost the opportunity, and was forced here step by step by Tuobayao, so I had to do so."
When he said this, he had already made up his mind, Han Hua couldn't persuade him anymore, so he had to give up.
At this time, in the South Taihang, it is the time when the mountains are full of red and the forests are all dyed.
After Chaoyangzi left, Chennian seemed to be the same as usual, only went to Ye Xiaoqi and Xiaoliu's graves more frequently.She often went out early in the morning, carried Xiao Bao over several mountains, sat quietly in front of their graves for half a day, and then went back over the mountains.
These mountains are extremely steep, and it is precisely because of the obstacles of these mountains that the small town where Chen Nian is located has become a paradise in troubled times.Outside the mountain is war and killing, but inside the mountain is quiet and peaceful.
On this day, Chen Nian sat on the hillside for a long time, and when he came back, it was almost evening, when he entered the courtyard and saw Chao Yangzi sitting under a tree, he was slightly taken aback.Mrs. Yang has been carefully watching the outside of the house. Seeing Chen Nian coming back, she hastily greeted her. Taking the opportunity to hug Xiao Bao, she said to Chen Nian in a low voice, "I've come a long time ago. I don't drink any water or eat any food. , sat upright, and said to wait for you."
Chen Nian nodded slightly, expressing his understanding.She first handed the sleepy little treasure to Mrs. Yang to coax, then turned around and greeted Chaoyangzi with a smile: "Master Taoist."
Chaoyangzi dodged his eyes a little, and after several efforts, he raised his eyes to look at her and said, "Chen Nian, last time I made things difficult for others, this time I came to apologize to you."
Chen Nian was a little surprised, couldn't help but look at Chao Yang Zi more, and said with a smile: "What is the Taoist talking about?" Seeing that Chao Yang Zi's face was extremely unnatural, Chen Nian was afraid that he would be embarrassed, so he turned away when he was busy. After changing the topic, he asked, "Where did the Taoist priest come from?"
"Qingzhou." Chaoyangzi replied dryly. He glanced at Chen Nian and said angrily, "Look how dry your lips are? It's dry in autumn, drink more water to avoid getting angry."
Chen Nian came back all the way through the mountains, his mouth was really thirsty, he raised his hand to take the celadon teapot on the low table, first poured out a cup and handed it to Chao Yangzi, and then took his own cup to drink.As soon as the tea was in her mouth, she felt something was wrong, and threw the teacup in her hand towards Chaoyangzi who was beside her without thinking, but her arm was already numb, and the teacup was out of focus, and it just passed by Chaoyangzi's shoulder, smashing it. to the ground.
Even so, Chaoyangzi still felt a burning pain in his shoulder.He didn't feel a little scared, secretly thought that the dose of medicine was extremely heavy, and Chen Nian was defenseless against him, so he could get away with it by luck.
Chen Nian sat there unable to move at all, he just raised his eyes and looked at Chao Yangzi fixedly, his expression was quite calm.
Chaoyangzi avoided her sight and said, "I will take Xiaobao away first. If you want a child, you can find me in Jizhou."
Mrs. Yang heard the movement coming out of the room, and before she could ask any questions, Chaoyangzi tapped her acupuncture points.Chaoyangzi went into the house and carried Xiaobao out. When he passed by Chen Nian, he stopped again and then left.
Chen Nian was very anxious, but he had no choice but to force himself to calm down, get rid of distracting thoughts, and stimulate the true qi to circulate quickly in the meridians, forcing the poison out.But Chaoyangzi's drug was extremely domineering, and it was not until the next morning that Chen Nian gradually regained consciousness in his hands and feet.
Mrs. Yang was still standing stiffly at the door. Chen Nian went over to untie her acupuncture points. Mrs. Yang fell to the ground, crying and cursing: "This black old man who kills thousands of knives! The old lady thought he was a good person, but I didn't expect him to be so Evil! Little Treasure! My little Treasure!"
Chen Nian ignored Mrs. Yang, got up and ran out of the yard, chasing straight towards Jizhou.
This is Chennian's first trip out of the mountain after burying Ye Xiaoqi. For the first two days in the mountain, he didn't feel much change. When he entered the plain area of Jizhou, he felt the desolation.She passed through several villages one after another, all of which were rarely inhabited, with weeds overgrown between the ruined buildings and walls, and wild dogs appeared in them from time to time, gathering together in twos and threes, baring their teeth and grunting, fighting for something.
Chen Nian traveled all the way, and the more she watched, the more frightened she became. She had been to Jizhou earlier, and although it was not as rich as Jiangnan, it was by no means what it is now.
On the fifth day, Chennian finally caught up with Chaoyangzi in a small town more than a hundred miles away from Jizhou.Chaoyangzi stepped forward silently, handed Xiaobao back to Chennian, and explained: "I have been feeding her rice porridge for the past few days, and I have also fed her a few meals of minced meat and vegetable paste. The little girl likes it very much."
Chennian saw that although Xiaobao had lost some weight, he was still happy, so she put her heart back into her belly. She hugged Xiaobao tightly in her arms, stepped back a few steps, and said to Chaoyangzi in a cold voice "Master Dao, you are very kind to Chen Nian, and Chen Nian is very grateful, but no matter what your purpose is, you shouldn't threaten my child. This is the first time, and I hope it will be the last time."
Chaoyangzi looked dignified, looked at Chennian silently, but asked her: "What have you seen all this way?"
Chen Nian was slightly taken aback, pursed his lips and did not answer.
Chaoyangzi pointed around, and said: "I have been to this town before. At that time, there were thousands of residents here, and it was considered prosperous. In September, the Xian clan killed people from here and gathered the people of Hezhen in one place. The young and strong were selected from them to be used as labor labor, and the rest of the old, young, women and children were slaughtered, and there were only a few survivors. Not only Jizhou, but also Yizhou, Yuzhou, Yongzhou...everywhere the Xian army passed through, it was the same, scorched earth ruins , corpses are everywhere, and the whole Jiangbei is like a hell on earth!"
"Is this what you mean when good and evil are rewarded? Tell me, what evil did these people do? To get this evil reward? Do you want the army of the Xian clan to fight all the way to Shengdu? Is it those aristocratic families, or these innocent people?" The more Chaoyangzi said, the more angry he became, and at the end it turned into a roar, "Xie Chennian, you are half of the Xian family blood, but where did the water and soil raise you up? ? What kind of clothes are you wearing, and what are you saying? How can you watch these compatriots die tragically by the swords of the Xian family, but stay out of it?"
Chen Nian kept his eyes down and remained silent, but Xiao Bao in his arms was so frightened that he burst into tears.
Only then did Chaoyangzi stop talking, paused for a moment, and asked her with red eyes: "Chen Nian, where is your chivalry? What about that Xie Chennian who once carried tens of thousands of refugees on his shoulders? Is she dead? Where did she die?" gone?"
Chen Nian was speechless for a long time, but finally he smiled wryly: "Master Dao, what do you want me to do? Go and persuade my adoptive father and Tuoba Yao to withdraw? Will they be influenced by me? Or do you want me to assassinate them? Okay." Even if I can kill one of them regardless of my adoptive father's kindness in nurturing me, regardless of my personal life or death, can I stop the Xian clan's thousands of horses and horses?"
These days, Chen Nian has been asking herself, what can she do?She sat on Ye Xiaoqi's grave for half a day, she didn't forget the words Ye Xiaoqi left her, but when the two countries are at war, what's the use of high martial arts?Even if she was brave, she just assassinated a few generals of the Xian clan, possibly killing hundreds of thousands of Xian clan's army?
"Master Daoist, you think too highly of Xie Chennian." Chennian bent his lips weakly, and said, "The one who sheltered tens of thousands of refugees was not Xie Chennian, it was Juyi Village, Brother Wen, or Da Shi. It's Yang Yi, Ling Que, Uncle Lu, Zhu Zhen, and you Daoist, everyone in Juyi Village, not me, Xie Chennian. Without you all, without Juyi Village, Xie Chennian is just an ordinary person. "
Wen Daya and Shada have already fled north, Lingque left with Lu Xiao, Lu Rongfeng and Zhu Zhen went to Feng Junyang's army, but Yang Yi was in Qingzhou... Juyi Village has long been torn apart, she is the only one , what else can be done?
"Juyi Village is still there!" Chaoyangzi replied loudly, his eyes were piercing, his small eyes were amazingly bright, and his dark face was reflected brightly, "we are all still there too! Xie Chennian is not just one Ordinary people, she is not some shit like Princess Yunxi or the orphan of a princess. She is the head of Juyi Village. She has sheltered tens of thousands of refugees. When she raised her arms, countless benevolent people responded and formed a rebel army to drive out the Tartars. , protect the environment and the people!"
Chen Nian was stunned when he heard this, staring blankly at Chaoyangzi, unable to speak, even Xiaobao stopped crying, blinked his eyes, and looked curiously at this dark and skinny little old man.
"Wen Daya and Ling Que are back. Last month, they used your name to gather rebels in Qinghai and Hebei provinces. In just over a month, they gathered nearly ten thousand people." Chao Yangzi stepped forward, staring at you. Looking at Chen Nian, he said word by word, "Chen Nian, everyone is waiting for you to go back."
Chaoyangzi doesn't have such eloquence, this set of rhetoric was taught to him by Yang Yi sentence by sentence, which is sure to impress Chen Nian.I didn't want Chen Nian to listen, but stood there for a long time without any movement.Chaoyangzi's temper was already impatient, but seeing Chen Nian's reaction, he lost his patience, and simply cursed: "Okay, okay, okay, it's the Taoist, I misjudged the person, hurry up and go back with the child, and be yours!" Let's go, the worldly master!"
He suddenly turned his face without saying a few good words, Chen Nian was inevitably a little bit dumbfounded, and it was not easy to argue with him, so he just asked him: "Where are they now?"
Chaoyangzi was taken aback by her question, and subconsciously asked, "Who?"
"Brother Wen and Lingque." Chen Nian said.
Chaoyangzi was overjoyed, his face was wrinkled with a smile, and he hurriedly replied: "Zhongshan County."
Zhongshan County is nowhere else, just to the west of Jizhou, near Feilongxing. The city is not big, but because it controls Feilongxingkou, its military status is extremely important.At the end of August, the Xian clan's army came from the north. Xue Shengxian retreated to Jizhou and avoided fighting. The Xian clan left Jizhou alone, but captured Zhongshan County and left [-] soldiers to guard it.
At that time, Yang Yi's troops were still in the north of Qingzhou, and he was unable to look east at all. He could only watch helplessly as the Xian family seized Zhongshan, a fortress, and drove a nail between Qingzhou and Jizhou. connection between the two places.From then on, the west half of Feilong Xing can still be walked, but when it is near the east end, it has to go north to detour through the mountain trails, so as to avoid Zhongshan City at Xingkou.
Most of these trails in the mountains are rough and difficult to walk, and it takes half a day to go around half of the mountains.Even though Zheng Lun traveled day and night, it took him three or four days to leave the towering Taihang.The entourage came forward on horseback, and asked Zheng Lun respectfully, "General, do you still want to go to Zhongshan City?"
Zheng Lun was ordered by Feng Junyang to rush to the south of the Yangtze River to take over the newly gathered reinforcements. He should have gone directly to Yiping to cross the river, but he made a detour to Jizhou, in order to see the military deployment of the Xian family in Jizhou.Zhongshan City is a military fortress, so I naturally wanted to take a look. Now that I heard the guard's question, I nodded and said, "Go and have a look."
Zhongshan City was occupied by the Xian Clan, and they couldn't enter at all. Zheng Lun wanted to see the city, but he could only go to the top of the mountain outside the city to overlook the city.In such a place, nine times out of ten, there will be the other party's secret whistle, so you have to be very careful.Zheng Lun only took two guards with him, abandoned his horse, and climbed up the mountain.
His own martial arts are excellent, and the martial arts of the two accompanying guards are also not weak. The three of them deliberately chose a steep and difficult place, in order to avoid the secret whistle of the Xian people. voices came from above. "Master Xie, looking at the Xian clan in the city, there are no more than a few thousand people, but we have more people than them, so we shouldn't have any problem defeating them."
Zheng Lun's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, he hesitated for a while, and climbed up to the top of the mountain quietly, and sure enough, he saw six or seven people from the rivers and lakes standing on the edge of the cliff, one of them was five big and three thick, with a pair of stone axes stuck in his back waist. It's stupid.Not far in front of him, stood a woman who was also neatly dressed, with a bamboo hat on her head, and she looked a bit like Chen Nian.
Zheng Lun's heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, and he stared at the woman's back, but when the woman opened her mouth to speak, it was like a basin of cold water poured over her head. She was not Chen Nian, but Lu Lingque.
"There are too many ways to attack the city. Thinking back to when we captured Yiping from the He family, there were not many defenders in Yiping City, but we still lost a lot of people, so we managed to attack. If we want to capture this Zhongshan cannot be attacked by force, we have to find another way."
The first person to speak was a young and strong man of 23 or [-]. Hearing this, he laughed twice, and said, "Our number is more than double that of his Xian family, and we still can't take down such a small Zhongshan City? How can Master Xie Destroy one's own aspirations and impress others? Where is the courage to jump down from Yiping City earlier and regard thousands of troops as nothing? If you don't dare, then watch the battle from a distance. Lead troops to attack the city."
Because Lingque was pretending to be Chen Nian, she felt a little guilty at first, and was provoked by Fang Xun's words, and couldn't help but said: "Who said I dare not?"
Fang Xun asked again: "Then shall we fight Zhongshan City?"
Lingque immediately replied: "Fight, of course we want to fight, but not forcibly attacking the city. Tomorrow we will lie in ambush in Feilong Xing, and send two thousand soldiers to attack Zhongshan City at night, and then retreat in defeat, luring fresh The clan went out of the city, took the opportunity to defeat them, and took Zhongshan."
This plan was obtained after she and Wen Daya and others thought hard for a few days, now that she said it, Fang Xun and others also applauded in unison.Lingque was feeling complacent, but he heard someone coldly say not far away: "If the general guarding the city is a fool, this strategy may be able to deceive people."
Everyone was shocked when they heard the sound, Fang Xun immediately asked loudly, "Who is it?"
Zheng Lun walked out from behind the rock with his personal guards, glanced at everyone, and then replied flatly: "Zheng Lun."
Seeing Zheng Lun suddenly appearing here, Lingque was also very surprised, and said strangely: "General Zheng?"
She called Zheng Lun like this, but it attracted the attention of several others.At the beginning, Chen Nian and Zheng Lun had a meeting in Yiping, although all the signs afterwards showed that it was just a scene, but in the eyes of the world, the two were considered husband and wife anyway, they shouldn't be so unfamiliar.
Seeing the reaction of the crowd, Ling Que reacted abruptly. She was afraid that people would find out that she was a fake. She panicked and became dizzy. She took two steps forward and asked Zheng Lun in an affectionate tone. : "Brother Zheng, why are you here?"
Chennian has never called Zheng Lun like this before, Zheng Lun's expression was a little weird, he glanced at Ling Que, and said: "Passing by here, come and have a look." He paused, paused for a few breaths, Then he asked Lingque again, "Chen Nian, are you going to attack Zhongshan City?"
Lingque knew that Zheng Lun was a serious and upright person, and he was afraid that he would expose his identity. He didn't want him to be so upright, so he felt overjoyed, and quickly replied: "Yes, we want to take Zhongshan City from the Xian family. come down."
Zheng Lun nodded slightly, walked around Lingque, and walked to the edge of the cliff to see Zhongshan City at the foot of the mountain.Although it is far away, they can still get an overview of the deployment in the city. Just looking at the situation, there must be at least 5000 troops in the city.
Although Fang Xun and other rebel leaders had heard of Zheng Lun's name, they had never seen him before. They were a little surprised to see that he was only a young man in his 20s.Several people exchanged glances, then Fang Xun pulled Lingque aside, and asked in a low voice: "Master Xie, is he General Zheng Lunzheng who led the army to capture Xinye and Lintong?"
Lingque nodded: "Exactly."
Fang Xun and the others all showed surprise on their faces, and the other person hurriedly said: "People say that General Zheng is like a god in soldiers, since he is here, why not ask him to lead us all to capture Zhongshan City?"
Lingque secretly groaned, thinking that this person is not easy to get along with, he is a general commanding an army of tens of thousands, how could he be driven by you and me?Helpless, Fang Xun and the others pressed on.Lingque had no choice but to grit his teeth, walked to Zheng Lun and told Zheng Lun what everyone wanted.
"I don't have time." Zheng Lun refused flatly, glanced at everyone, and said to Lingque, "I also advise you, don't act rashly, find a safe place to stay, and then make plans."
(End of this chapter)
At the beginning of February, Tuobayao ordered Mu Zhanyue to lead the Beimo Allied Forces to continue southward to attack Taixing, while Lu Xiao, as Mu Zhanyue's follow-up, led troops to Yuzhou.
In Qingzhou City, Feng Junyang and others have also received the news that Yuzhou has fallen.Yang Yi showed some doubts on his face, and said: "The loss of Yuzhou is a bit strange. With the strength of the He family, it shouldn't be so easy to lose Yuzhou. Ask Qiu Muling to lead troops to fight against Taixing City."
How could Feng Junyang fail to see through the twists and turns? Hearing the words, he laughed mockingly, and said, "If you lose the city, you can take it back. If everyone is dead, there will be no drama. I'm afraid He Zhen gave up on purpose." Yuzhou, so as to preserve our strength and wait for us to go to the rescue."
Yang Yi was silent for a moment, then couldn't help sighing: "Then He Zhen's move is too risky, if we don't go to the rescue, won't he just sit and wait for death?"
After hearing this, veteran Mo Heng immediately said: "How can we not save it? Do you want to watch aliens seize my city and slaughter my compatriots?"
"Yes, how can we not save it?" Feng Junyang chuckled mockingly, once Taixing really fell into Tuobayao's hands, Wanjiang's natural danger would not be enough.Tuobayao can not only go straight to the south of the Yangtze River, but also seize Yiping first, making Qing and Ji prefectures dead.He Zhen was sure of this, so he acted like this, forcing him to send troops.But to send troops westward, they must first capture Xinye from Murong Heng.
In mid-February, Feng Junyang ordered Mo Heng to lead an army of [-] from Qingzhou to reinforce Wu'an and assist Zheng Lun in attacking Xinye and Lintong.
Zheng Lun personally picked up Mo Heng from outside the city, and said: "At the beginning Murong Heng led an army of [-] to march eastward, attacking the city and occupying territory all the way, and lost some troops. It's just that they occupied the convenient location to defend the city, and Xinye, Lintong They are like horns of each other, no matter which one to attack, the soldiers from the other city will surely rescue them quickly, and our army will be attacked by the enemy."
Although Mo Heng's qualifications are old, he is a humble and prudent person. Hearing this, he said: "This is what the old man has been thinking about all the time. We must try to break his horns first."
"Exactly." Zheng Lun nodded, seeing Mo Heng's tired face, he said again, "The old general has worked hard all the way, why don't you rest for a night, and then call everyone to discuss the war tomorrow."
Mo Heng promised that Zheng Lun ordered someone to arrange a house for Mo Heng and his accompanying soldiers to rest.After a while, the general who was in charge of reception came to look for Zheng Lun and secretly reported: "General, Old General Mo is accompanied by a young woman."
Zheng Lun was a little surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Woman?"
"That's right," the general replied, "Although she's pretending to be a soldier, it's just that her appearance and figure make her look like a woman, and she looks familiar, like the girl Lingque from Qingfeng Village."
This general had once fought against Yiping with Zheng Lun, and he had seen sparrows before. Since he said he looked like one, he probably was sparrows.The sparrow was looking for Lu Xiao at first, why did it appear here now?Zheng Lun felt vigilant, thought for a while, and asked again: "Does Old General Mo know?"
The general replied: "At least I know she is a woman, so I asked her to live in a room by herself."
Zheng Lun pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then ordered: "In this case, you should watch her secretly first, and don't startle the snake."
The general led the order to go. Although Zheng Lun was suspicious of Lingque, he couldn't go past Mo Heng to find her directly. He only said casually when talking to Mo Heng the next day: "Old General Mo, you There is a soldier next to me that looks familiar to me, the one who is not tall and fair-skinned, but his surname is Lu?"
Mo Heng was stunned for a moment, and then realized who Zheng Lun was talking about, and couldn't help laughing: "It's true that her surname is Lu, but she is a girl. Why, do you know her?"
Zheng Lun nodded and said, "Yes, I don't know how she got to you?"
Mo Heng replied: "When I came, Yang Yi entrusted it to me. He said it was his friend in Juyi Village. Although she was a girl, she wanted to go to battle and kill the enemy. She didn't even want to stay in Qingzhou. Yang Yi couldn't do it. That's why I put it here." At this point, Mo Heng suddenly remembered that Zheng Lun and Juyizhai had joined forces to attack Yiping, and said, "Since she is from Juyizhai, you should have seen her in Yiping."
"It was in Yiping." Zheng Lun paused, and continued, "It's just that she left Juyi Village a long time ago and went to look for Lu Xiao outside the pass."
"Lu Xiao?"
Zheng Lun's brows were serious, and he said: "It's Tuobayao's vanguard general, Bu Liuguxiao, Lu Xiao was his Chinese name when he was walking in the Central Plains. At that time when Yiping was captured, I led the troops back to Qingzhou, leaving Song Yan behind. They are stationed in Yiping together with Juyi Village. According to Song Yan, Lu Lingque fell in love with Lu Xiao, and long before He Ze attacked Yiping, he went to look for Lu Xiao outside the pass."
If Lingque was indeed with Bu Liuguxiao before, but now he suddenly came to the army, his purpose is extremely suspicious.Mo Heng said: "I'll call her here and ask her."
He called his confidant soldiers to go out, and brought the spirit bird dressed as a soldier over after a while.As soon as Lingque came in and saw Zheng Lun, he saluted him calmly and said, "Lingque has seen General Zheng."
Zheng Lun nodded slightly, and asked her directly: "Miss Lu, aren't you following Lu Xiao? Why are you here?"
Lingque seemed to have expected that Zheng Lun would ask this question, and replied in a deep voice: "General Zheng, I know you will suspect that I am here to do meticulous work for Lu Xiao. However, you are wrong. I am from Xia, I came here to join the army because I just wanted to kill the enemy and serve the country, and save my compatriots from the swords of other races. I came back with me, Brother Wen and Brother Silly. Brother Wen was not good at martial arts, so he stayed with General Yang in Qingzhou. Silly But I was a small soldier in the army. Because I am a woman, General Yang refused to let me into the barracks, so he entrusted me to General Mo."
Her words were clear and fluent, and she didn't seem to be telling lies.Zheng Lun couldn't tell whether she was sincere or fake for a while, so he looked at Mo Heng and said, "Miss Lu, it's not that Zheng Lun doesn't want to trust you, it's just for safety's sake, I can't keep you and Shada in the army, I have to ask someone to take you back to Qingzhou."
Lingque came back from outside the pass, thinking about going to battle to kill the enemy, now that Zheng Lun not only suspected that she was the secret agent of the Xian family, but also wanted to send her back to Qingzhou, he was inevitably a little anxious, and argued with him a few more words, but he still couldn't change his mind He couldn't help but said angrily: "Since that's the case, you don't have to send us back to Qingzhou, let's go on our own, go back to the mountains and raise the flag of righteousness, call for righteous men, and we can kill the Xian clan."
Zheng Lun was unmoved, and just said lightly: "Miss Lu can do this, but before that, I have to hand you over to Yang Yi."
Although Lingque was annoyed in her heart, she couldn't help Zheng Lun. She suppressed her anger and cupped her hands at Zheng Lun and Mo Heng. Then she said goodbye and left. When she didn't expect the door, she stopped again, turned around and asked Zheng Lun, "General Zheng, Can I take a step and say something?"
Zheng Lun looked at her twice, followed her out of the room, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Unexpectedly, Ling Que asked, "General Zheng, do you know where Chen Nian is now?"
After the Battle of Yiping, the troops from Juyi Village were merged into Feng Junyang's army, but Chen Nian suddenly disappeared.Ling Que, Wen Daya and others came back from Mobei, and asked Yang Yi about Chen Nian's whereabouts. Yang Yi only said that Chen Nian went to Jiangnan with Chaoyangzi and Jing Yuxuan, and he couldn't ask any more.
For some reason, Lingque didn't believe it.
Zheng Lun was startled when Lingque suddenly asked about Chen Nian.For more than a year, he had tried his best to forget the name, and now that he heard it, he felt a little complicated, and subconsciously avoided Lingque's sight, and replied, "I don't know."
Lingque was a little disappointed, but he had no choice but to leave with others.
Zheng Lun stood outside again, then turned back to the house, and said to Mo Heng: "The old general, please send more people to send Lu Lingque and her companions back to Qingzhou."
The sparrow was brought by Mo Heng, so he should send someone to send it back.Mo Heng specially allocated a small group of cavalry to send Lingque and Shada off.Silly waited in Qingzhou for more than half a year, and finally got the opportunity to go to the expedition. He didn't want to be sent back without even fighting. Discuss it carefully, if it doesn't work, go to Shengdu to search for Chennian, and gather a new rebel army, so as not to be angry at the hands of these people."
The two of them hurried back to Qingzhou, discussed with Wen Daya in the middle of the night, and decided to go to Shengdu Xunchennian.When he didn't want to talk to Yang Yi about this matter, Yang Yi didn't allow it. He just said: "In Jiangbei's current situation, you can hear the news no matter where you are. Since Chen Nian didn't come, it was because of her embarrassment. I need to find her again."
Lingque didn't know that the daughter of the He family that Feng Junyang married was Chen Nian, and that she was angry with Feng Junyang because Feng Junyang married someone else, so she couldn't help saying: "We fight against the Xian family for the sake of the suffering people. , and it's not because of him, Feng Junyang, what embarrassment can Chen Nian have? Besides, Feng Junyang has married the daughter of the He family's prostitute, what is Chen Nian still doing in Shengdu? It's time to turn around and leave, and go back to our Taihang Mountains."
Yang Yi pursed his lips slightly, not knowing how to answer Lingque.He is more informed than Zheng Lun. Although Feng Junyang suppressed Chen Nian's breaking into the palace, Yang Yi still heard some news, and vaguely guessed that Chen Nian was no longer in Shengdu.It's just that these things are not easy to discuss with Wen Da Ya and the others.
Seeing Yang Yi's reaction like this, Wen Daya felt something was wrong, so he couldn't help but look at Yang Yi more, and asked, "Yang Yi, do you have something to hide from us?"
Yang Yi smiled covertly and said, "What can I hide from you?"
Wen Daya said seriously: "I know you are considered Feng Junyang's person now, but you must not forget who saved your two brothers and sisters under the knife. If it wasn't for the year of Chen, the grass on the graves of us I don’t know how many stubbles have grown, and you have to have a conscience, and you can’t use this human skin for nothing.”
Wen Daya has always liked to be a good person, and he doesn't easily speak harsh words to others. These words came out of his mouth very seriously. Yang Yi was silent for a moment, got up and went to the window to carefully inspect the situation outside, and then came back He whispered: "It's a long story, and I don't know the details. I only know that Chen Nian is not in Shengdu right now, but should be in Nantaihang."
Wen Daya and the others were all taken aback for a moment, wondering: "Southern Taihang?"
"Well," Yang Yi nodded, and he deduced this from Shunping's words, "It's probably between Qingfengzhai and Yiping, but I don't know where exactly. If you want to find her, go there Find."
This range seems small, but if you are really looking for someone, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.Wen Daya, Ling Que, and Sha Da went to the South Taihang from the spring season, and searched for two or three months, but they couldn't find the trace of Chen Nian, so they had no choice but to return to Qingzhou.
At this time, Zheng Lun and Mo Heng have fought hard and regained Xinye and Lintong from Murongbu.
In August, Feng Junyang gathered a total of 20 troops from Qingzhou, Hebei, Lu, and Xiangzhou in the north of the Yangtze River, and came out of Qingzhou to the west.When resting during the march, Feng Junyang likes to look at the southeast direction most.He has had this problem since he arrived in Qingzhou. Just looking at his expression, Shunping knew that he must have thought of Chen Nian and his daughter again. He sighed secretly, and then stepped forward to call Feng Junyang softly: "My lord?"
Feng Jun Yang didn't move. After a while, he suddenly asked Shunping in a low voice: "What do you think she is doing now? That child can crawl?"
Shunping really didn't know what Chen Nian would do now, but the second question couldn't help him, and he said with a smile: "I should be able to crawl, as the saying goes, turn over three times, sit six times, and climb up, the little princess is not It’s been more than eight months, so I should be able to climb.”
"My daughter must be faster than other children." Xu Shi thought of the ridiculous appearance of her daughter crawling around, Feng Junyang couldn't help but curled up the corners of his mouth, but the corners of his mouth only curled up for a moment, and then turned again. He sank down, even his eyes couldn't help but dim.
He misses his daughter here, but in Chennian, his daughter Xiaobao has made his head big. Xiaobao, who is more than eight months old, not only knows how to crawl, but also climbs extremely fast.When Chennian went out to pour water, she climbed from the inside of the kang to the edge of the kang, and fell headfirst. Thanks to Chen's young skills, she swept from the door to the edge of the kang in the blink of an eye, and then copied it before her daughter fell to the ground. Living.
Chen Nian was anxious and angry, but Xiao Bao thought it was a fun game, so he grinned happily.For such a child who didn't understand anything, Chen Nian lost his temper, carried her out of the house, and discussed with the landlady, Mrs. Yang: "Ma'am, let's find a rope to tie Xiaobao up, so as not to lose sight of it." Stop, she's about to fall off the kang."
Mrs. Yang was choosing vegetables in the yard. Hearing this, she let out an exaggerated "Ouch". She threw away the vegetables and came over and hugged Xiaobao from Chen Nian's arms. Child, there is no other way. But you don’t have to go to the fields or work, and you can’t even look down on a child, so you have the nerve to tie our little treasure!”
Chen Nian felt that he was in the wrong, and sat down awkwardly to choose dishes.Mrs. Yang put Xiaobao on the mat under the shade of the tree, told Chen Nian to watch carefully, and then turned to the kitchen to cook.Chen Nian responded, seeing Xiao Bao holding a piece of peeled cucumber in both hands and eating happily, he couldn't help leaning over to discuss with his daughter in a low voice: "My dear little treasure, let mother take a bite, okay?" ?”
How could Xiaobao understand this, he thought that Chen Nian was coaxing her to play, so he just grinned and giggled.Chen Nian also grinned happily at her, and leaned over to take a big bite on the cucumber.Xiaobao was stunned, looked up at his mother, then looked down at the short piece of cucumber left in his hand, and burst into tears with a "wow".
Mrs. Yang just got angry there, when she heard the child crying outside, she hurried out to have a look. Seeing that Xiaobao was sitting on the mat, she was relieved, and asked Chennian, "Why are you crying again?"
Chen Nian got into trouble, and he didn't swallow the cucumber in his mouth, so he didn't dare to respond, he just hugged Xiao Bao up and coaxed him.He didn't want to coax Xiaobao, but felt even more wronged, and cried even louder.
Mrs. Yang was young and widowed, and she supported her family only because of her hot temper, and because Chen Nian had lived with her for a long time, she had long been treated as a half-daughter.Seeing that Chen Nian couldn't coax Xiaobao well, Mrs. Yang walked this way while patting the dust on her hands, complaining, "You are such a big man, why can't you even coax a child?"
"Xiaobao doesn't cry, mother-in-law hugs." She hugged Xiaobao from Chennian's arms, just coaxed a few words, accidentally saw the cucumber handle in Xiaobao's hand, and suddenly understood the reason why the child was crying, and then Turning around, Chen Nian was nowhere to be seen.Mrs. Yang was angry and annoyed, but she couldn't catch Chen Nian. She stood angrily in the yard and yelled, "You woman, you don't eat the basket full of cucumbers, but you come to grab the child's mouth and make the child cry. You It's also fortunate that I live by myself, if I follow other people's mother-in-law, it won't be dark eight times a day!"
She was counting vigorously, when she heard someone knocking on the courtyard door outside, she raised her voice and asked angrily, "Who is it?"
I didn't want the person outside the door to have a bad temper, so he just yelled: "Open the door! It's Taoist."
Mrs. Yang was stunned for a moment when she heard the voice, but Chen Nian quickly flashed out of the kitchen, ran to open the courtyard door, and asked in surprise, "Daozhang, why are you here?"
Chaoyangzi was dressed in dust and dust, and when he entered the door, he gave Chen Nian an angry look, and didn't answer her. He just walked to Pozi Yang's side to look at Xiaobao, and asked, "Has Xiaobao grown so big?"
When he left, Little Treasure had just emerged from the full moon, and his appearance had not yet bloomed, but now he was white and clean, fat and cute.She is already very good-looking, and she loves to smile. When people get close, she will first grin at you, showing a few small teeth that have just emerged, and you can't help but want to grin along with her.
Mrs. Yang knew that the dark-faced Taoist priest had a very bad temper, so she was a little afraid of him, so she hurriedly said: "The Taoist priest has come all the way, please sit down and rest for a while, the old lady will cook for you soon." .”
Mrs. Yang put the child into Chennian's arms, glared at her secretly, and warned her not to make the child cry anymore, then went to the room to bring the teapot and teacups over, and then turned to cook in the kitchen. Go out to talk to Chennian and Chaoyangzi.
Chaoyangzi was thirsty on the road, so he poured two cups of tea in a row before stopping.
Chen Nian glanced at him and asked, "Have you found my master yet?"
Chaoyangzi sighed, and replied, "I found it after looking for it, but it was useless."
Chen Nian wondered, "How do you say that?"
Chaoyangzi was silent for a while, and then he talked about Jing Yuxuan.In the past few months, he has chased Jing Yuxuan all the way from Lingnan to Jiangbei. The last time the two met was in Taixing. Jing Yuxuan's internal energy seemed to suddenly become controllable. Xuan shot and wounded Chaoyangzi, and said that she had found someone who could help her practice the Wuyun magic skills. If he went to obstruct and make trouble again, don't blame her for not missing the old love.
"Taixing?" Chen Nian suddenly thought of a person, "Could it be the ghost hand white chapter?"
Chao Yangzi nodded slowly: "I guess it's also that person."
Chen Nian frowned, and said: "How can that person be trusted? Although he used medicine to widen my meridians, it was a coincidence that I practiced magic skills, not all because of this."
First, she was seriously injured and her internal strength was exhausted, and then Baizhang accidentally widened her meridians, and after experiencing life and death, the vast true energy of the five aggregates magical power was revived.But even so, that zhenqi didn't exist in her meridians forever, it just appeared with time, and then disappeared without a trace.
As a doctor, Chaoyangzi knew it better, so he said, "That's right, I think that Baizhang might have used medicine to forcibly widen your master's meridians, but this five-aggregate magical skill emphasizes the emptying of all five aggregates, is' There is a switch between 'without' and 'nothing', if you can't achieve 'nothing', even if you stretch the meridians to the extreme, you can't endure such a domineering qi for a long time, and you can't escape the end of the meridian exhaustion in the end. That's all, everyone There are opportunities for everyone, I have tried my best, let her go."
After saying this, both Chennian and Chaoyangzi couldn't help but fell silent, only Xiaobao didn't know how to worry, even though he was sitting in Chennian's arms, he looked at Chaoyangzi curiously and babbled at him.Seeing her cuteness, Chaoyangzi couldn't help stretching out his arms to hold her in his arms, but asked Chen Nian, "So Feng Junyang really never came again?"
Chen Nian shook his head and said, "No."
Chaoyangzi was quite surprised: "It's strange, why is he so trustworthy this time? Could it be that he is really focused on fighting for the world?"
Just as he was talking, Xiaobao suddenly grabbed Chaoyangzi's sparse goatee, pulled it until Chaoyangzi grinned, and shouted: "Oh, tell the little girl to let go, or Daoist's beard will be buried in her hands." gone."
He reacted like this, but Xiaobao laughed happily, even dropped the cucumber in the other hand, and grabbed Chaoyangzi's beard with both hands.Seeing this, Chen Nian hurriedly stepped forward to break Xiaobao's hand, hugged her back, and looked at Chaoyangzi's beards with a guilty conscience.Chaoyangzi's hair and beard are sparse, and it's not easy to grow this beard. Xiaobao tore off several of them, so he felt distressed. But Xiaobao didn't understand everything, so he kept grinning at him, and he couldn't even tell him to get angry. I had no choice but to stare at Chen Nian a few times.
Chen Nian hurriedly smiled at him, changed the subject, and asked, "Do you want to stay for a while, Taoist priest?"
Hearing her ask about this, Chaoyangzi's face was serious, and he said seriously: "Chen Nian, I came here this time to find you on business. At the beginning of the year, Yuzhou was destroyed by Qiu Mulingyue. Now, Qiu Muling led troops to besiege Taixing again..."
"Master Daoist!" Chen Nian interrupted Chao Yangzi's words suddenly, "That's the retribution the He family deserves. Open your eyes, good and evil will be rewarded."
Chaoyangzi was stunned, stood up abruptly after a while, and said angrily: "But Taixing is not just the Taixing of the He family, once Taixing falls, the whole south of the Yangtze River will be exposed to the iron hooves of the Xian clan! Can you still only care about personal grievances?"
Chen Nian looked up at Chaoyangzi, but asked, "Master Dao, that day I ran out of Shengdu City with Xiao Qi's body on my back, do you know what was going on in my heart? I wonder how this man's heart can be so despicable." Dangerous? I wonder why God is so indistinguishable from right from wrong? I can't wait for the Xian clan's army to fight all the way from Jingyang to Shengdu, killing all these hypocritical and shameless royal nobles and powerful families. world!"
"Chennian..." Chaoyangzi didn't want Chennian to have such resentment in his heart, and was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Chen Nian lowered his eyes, calmed down his mind, and then said again: "Master Dao, you know my background, I have half of Xian's blood flowing in me, even, if possible, I wish I could let go of the other half." The blood of the He family. Daoist Master, it is not easy for me to be able to help each other."
Chaoyangzi stood there, and after a while, he asked aloud, "Is it okay for the sake of the common people?"
Chen Nian was also silent. After a long while, he laughed at himself and replied: "Master Dao, the people are too important. It should be the responsibility of those who are ambitious in the world, not me. I just want to raise Xiaobao, I don't want to Call her like me."
The courtyard fell into silence again, Chaoyangzi stood there for a while, said nothing, turned around and strode out of the courtyard.Chen Nian didn't get up to see him off, but slowly lowered his head, put his forehead against his daughter's small head, closed his eyes and breathed in the unique sweet breath of a baby.
Unknowingly, the corners of her eyes were wet. She didn't want to fight any more, judge who was good and who was evil, and she didn't want to sacrifice her life for righteousness.She just wanted to grow up with Xiaobao, to go up the mountain to see Ye Xiaoqi and Xiaoliu from time to time, and to live peacefully in this remote town like this.
In the third year of Xinwu, since the beginning of summer, the war in Jiangbei has become more and more tense.Feng Junyang's army chased Murong Heng from the east all the way, and slowly advanced towards Yuzhou.At the end of August, Tuoba Yao hid a large army in the north of Xuanzhou, passed through Yanci Mountain on an unknown ancient road, avoided Qingzhou, and came to Jizhou.
When Yang Yi of Qingzhou got the news, he immediately sent troops to stop it, but because of the huge difference in the strength of the two sides, he failed to stop the Xian's army and asked him to go around the northern end of Taihang Mountain and enter the northern part of Jizhou.However, Xue Shengxian in Jizhou was timid and afraid of fighting, and he could not shrink back. He let the army of the Xian family pass through the border and went south to Yiping.
Yiping is no better than Taixing, because it has a high city and deep pools to rely on. Once Yiping is lost, not to mention the north-south passage of Feng Junyang will be cut off, even Qingzhou will not be able to protect it.At that time, Feng Junyang's 20 army marching westward will become a lone army.
When Feng Junyang got the news in the army, he couldn't help laughing angrily, and said: "Xue Shengxian, Xue Shengxian, I don't think he can be so stupid!" He was rarely angry like this, and there was a dead silence in the tent.After a while, one of the generals asked for orders: "General, at the end of the day, I would like to lead the troops back east to rescue Yiping, and kill those Xian clan people."
Feng Junyang looked gloomy, and said coldly: "Tuobayao now wished that I would divide the troops so that they could be defeated one by one. If you don't believe me, once I divide the troops back to rescue Yiping, Tuobayao will have no scruples and will immediately send a large army from Jingyang Go south. At that time, not only will we not be able to save Yuzhou, but we will also be in danger."
Zheng Lun thought for a while, but asked: "Can you still send troops from Jiangnan to directly rescue Yiping?"
This time, 20 troops followed Feng Junyang to the west, and tens of thousands stayed behind in Xinye and Lintong. This already accounted for more than half of Feng Junyang's troops. Even if there are some troops in Jiangnan, they should not be moved lightly.Feng Junyang pondered for a moment, and said: "In the current situation, we can only dispatch troops from the south of the Yangtze River to the north to solve the difficulties in Yiping, and besides, it is closer to Yiping."
Staff member Han Hua raised his eyes to look at Feng Junyang, but did not make a sound, and waited until there was no one else in the tent, and then said to Feng Junyang: "My lord, Jiangnan is no better than our Yunxi. Although the kings surnamed Qi are destroyed, the remaining evils are not eliminated , You transferred all the soldiers and horses there, but have you ever thought about how to suppress them if someone takes the opportunity to revolt?"
How could Feng Junyang not consider this matter, he couldn't help but smile wryly when he heard the words, and said: "I was too arrogant before, I lost the opportunity, and was forced here step by step by Tuobayao, so I had to do so."
When he said this, he had already made up his mind, Han Hua couldn't persuade him anymore, so he had to give up.
At this time, in the South Taihang, it is the time when the mountains are full of red and the forests are all dyed.
After Chaoyangzi left, Chennian seemed to be the same as usual, only went to Ye Xiaoqi and Xiaoliu's graves more frequently.She often went out early in the morning, carried Xiao Bao over several mountains, sat quietly in front of their graves for half a day, and then went back over the mountains.
These mountains are extremely steep, and it is precisely because of the obstacles of these mountains that the small town where Chen Nian is located has become a paradise in troubled times.Outside the mountain is war and killing, but inside the mountain is quiet and peaceful.
On this day, Chen Nian sat on the hillside for a long time, and when he came back, it was almost evening, when he entered the courtyard and saw Chao Yangzi sitting under a tree, he was slightly taken aback.Mrs. Yang has been carefully watching the outside of the house. Seeing Chen Nian coming back, she hastily greeted her. Taking the opportunity to hug Xiao Bao, she said to Chen Nian in a low voice, "I've come a long time ago. I don't drink any water or eat any food. , sat upright, and said to wait for you."
Chen Nian nodded slightly, expressing his understanding.She first handed the sleepy little treasure to Mrs. Yang to coax, then turned around and greeted Chaoyangzi with a smile: "Master Taoist."
Chaoyangzi dodged his eyes a little, and after several efforts, he raised his eyes to look at her and said, "Chen Nian, last time I made things difficult for others, this time I came to apologize to you."
Chen Nian was a little surprised, couldn't help but look at Chao Yang Zi more, and said with a smile: "What is the Taoist talking about?" Seeing that Chao Yang Zi's face was extremely unnatural, Chen Nian was afraid that he would be embarrassed, so he turned away when he was busy. After changing the topic, he asked, "Where did the Taoist priest come from?"
"Qingzhou." Chaoyangzi replied dryly. He glanced at Chen Nian and said angrily, "Look how dry your lips are? It's dry in autumn, drink more water to avoid getting angry."
Chen Nian came back all the way through the mountains, his mouth was really thirsty, he raised his hand to take the celadon teapot on the low table, first poured out a cup and handed it to Chao Yangzi, and then took his own cup to drink.As soon as the tea was in her mouth, she felt something was wrong, and threw the teacup in her hand towards Chaoyangzi who was beside her without thinking, but her arm was already numb, and the teacup was out of focus, and it just passed by Chaoyangzi's shoulder, smashing it. to the ground.
Even so, Chaoyangzi still felt a burning pain in his shoulder.He didn't feel a little scared, secretly thought that the dose of medicine was extremely heavy, and Chen Nian was defenseless against him, so he could get away with it by luck.
Chen Nian sat there unable to move at all, he just raised his eyes and looked at Chao Yangzi fixedly, his expression was quite calm.
Chaoyangzi avoided her sight and said, "I will take Xiaobao away first. If you want a child, you can find me in Jizhou."
Mrs. Yang heard the movement coming out of the room, and before she could ask any questions, Chaoyangzi tapped her acupuncture points.Chaoyangzi went into the house and carried Xiaobao out. When he passed by Chen Nian, he stopped again and then left.
Chen Nian was very anxious, but he had no choice but to force himself to calm down, get rid of distracting thoughts, and stimulate the true qi to circulate quickly in the meridians, forcing the poison out.But Chaoyangzi's drug was extremely domineering, and it was not until the next morning that Chen Nian gradually regained consciousness in his hands and feet.
Mrs. Yang was still standing stiffly at the door. Chen Nian went over to untie her acupuncture points. Mrs. Yang fell to the ground, crying and cursing: "This black old man who kills thousands of knives! The old lady thought he was a good person, but I didn't expect him to be so Evil! Little Treasure! My little Treasure!"
Chen Nian ignored Mrs. Yang, got up and ran out of the yard, chasing straight towards Jizhou.
This is Chennian's first trip out of the mountain after burying Ye Xiaoqi. For the first two days in the mountain, he didn't feel much change. When he entered the plain area of Jizhou, he felt the desolation.She passed through several villages one after another, all of which were rarely inhabited, with weeds overgrown between the ruined buildings and walls, and wild dogs appeared in them from time to time, gathering together in twos and threes, baring their teeth and grunting, fighting for something.
Chen Nian traveled all the way, and the more she watched, the more frightened she became. She had been to Jizhou earlier, and although it was not as rich as Jiangnan, it was by no means what it is now.
On the fifth day, Chennian finally caught up with Chaoyangzi in a small town more than a hundred miles away from Jizhou.Chaoyangzi stepped forward silently, handed Xiaobao back to Chennian, and explained: "I have been feeding her rice porridge for the past few days, and I have also fed her a few meals of minced meat and vegetable paste. The little girl likes it very much."
Chennian saw that although Xiaobao had lost some weight, he was still happy, so she put her heart back into her belly. She hugged Xiaobao tightly in her arms, stepped back a few steps, and said to Chaoyangzi in a cold voice "Master Dao, you are very kind to Chen Nian, and Chen Nian is very grateful, but no matter what your purpose is, you shouldn't threaten my child. This is the first time, and I hope it will be the last time."
Chaoyangzi looked dignified, looked at Chennian silently, but asked her: "What have you seen all this way?"
Chen Nian was slightly taken aback, pursed his lips and did not answer.
Chaoyangzi pointed around, and said: "I have been to this town before. At that time, there were thousands of residents here, and it was considered prosperous. In September, the Xian clan killed people from here and gathered the people of Hezhen in one place. The young and strong were selected from them to be used as labor labor, and the rest of the old, young, women and children were slaughtered, and there were only a few survivors. Not only Jizhou, but also Yizhou, Yuzhou, Yongzhou...everywhere the Xian army passed through, it was the same, scorched earth ruins , corpses are everywhere, and the whole Jiangbei is like a hell on earth!"
"Is this what you mean when good and evil are rewarded? Tell me, what evil did these people do? To get this evil reward? Do you want the army of the Xian clan to fight all the way to Shengdu? Is it those aristocratic families, or these innocent people?" The more Chaoyangzi said, the more angry he became, and at the end it turned into a roar, "Xie Chennian, you are half of the Xian family blood, but where did the water and soil raise you up? ? What kind of clothes are you wearing, and what are you saying? How can you watch these compatriots die tragically by the swords of the Xian family, but stay out of it?"
Chen Nian kept his eyes down and remained silent, but Xiao Bao in his arms was so frightened that he burst into tears.
Only then did Chaoyangzi stop talking, paused for a moment, and asked her with red eyes: "Chen Nian, where is your chivalry? What about that Xie Chennian who once carried tens of thousands of refugees on his shoulders? Is she dead? Where did she die?" gone?"
Chen Nian was speechless for a long time, but finally he smiled wryly: "Master Dao, what do you want me to do? Go and persuade my adoptive father and Tuoba Yao to withdraw? Will they be influenced by me? Or do you want me to assassinate them? Okay." Even if I can kill one of them regardless of my adoptive father's kindness in nurturing me, regardless of my personal life or death, can I stop the Xian clan's thousands of horses and horses?"
These days, Chen Nian has been asking herself, what can she do?She sat on Ye Xiaoqi's grave for half a day, she didn't forget the words Ye Xiaoqi left her, but when the two countries are at war, what's the use of high martial arts?Even if she was brave, she just assassinated a few generals of the Xian clan, possibly killing hundreds of thousands of Xian clan's army?
"Master Daoist, you think too highly of Xie Chennian." Chennian bent his lips weakly, and said, "The one who sheltered tens of thousands of refugees was not Xie Chennian, it was Juyi Village, Brother Wen, or Da Shi. It's Yang Yi, Ling Que, Uncle Lu, Zhu Zhen, and you Daoist, everyone in Juyi Village, not me, Xie Chennian. Without you all, without Juyi Village, Xie Chennian is just an ordinary person. "
Wen Daya and Shada have already fled north, Lingque left with Lu Xiao, Lu Rongfeng and Zhu Zhen went to Feng Junyang's army, but Yang Yi was in Qingzhou... Juyi Village has long been torn apart, she is the only one , what else can be done?
"Juyi Village is still there!" Chaoyangzi replied loudly, his eyes were piercing, his small eyes were amazingly bright, and his dark face was reflected brightly, "we are all still there too! Xie Chennian is not just one Ordinary people, she is not some shit like Princess Yunxi or the orphan of a princess. She is the head of Juyi Village. She has sheltered tens of thousands of refugees. When she raised her arms, countless benevolent people responded and formed a rebel army to drive out the Tartars. , protect the environment and the people!"
Chen Nian was stunned when he heard this, staring blankly at Chaoyangzi, unable to speak, even Xiaobao stopped crying, blinked his eyes, and looked curiously at this dark and skinny little old man.
"Wen Daya and Ling Que are back. Last month, they used your name to gather rebels in Qinghai and Hebei provinces. In just over a month, they gathered nearly ten thousand people." Chao Yangzi stepped forward, staring at you. Looking at Chen Nian, he said word by word, "Chen Nian, everyone is waiting for you to go back."
Chaoyangzi doesn't have such eloquence, this set of rhetoric was taught to him by Yang Yi sentence by sentence, which is sure to impress Chen Nian.I didn't want Chen Nian to listen, but stood there for a long time without any movement.Chaoyangzi's temper was already impatient, but seeing Chen Nian's reaction, he lost his patience, and simply cursed: "Okay, okay, okay, it's the Taoist, I misjudged the person, hurry up and go back with the child, and be yours!" Let's go, the worldly master!"
He suddenly turned his face without saying a few good words, Chen Nian was inevitably a little bit dumbfounded, and it was not easy to argue with him, so he just asked him: "Where are they now?"
Chaoyangzi was taken aback by her question, and subconsciously asked, "Who?"
"Brother Wen and Lingque." Chen Nian said.
Chaoyangzi was overjoyed, his face was wrinkled with a smile, and he hurriedly replied: "Zhongshan County."
Zhongshan County is nowhere else, just to the west of Jizhou, near Feilongxing. The city is not big, but because it controls Feilongxingkou, its military status is extremely important.At the end of August, the Xian clan's army came from the north. Xue Shengxian retreated to Jizhou and avoided fighting. The Xian clan left Jizhou alone, but captured Zhongshan County and left [-] soldiers to guard it.
At that time, Yang Yi's troops were still in the north of Qingzhou, and he was unable to look east at all. He could only watch helplessly as the Xian family seized Zhongshan, a fortress, and drove a nail between Qingzhou and Jizhou. connection between the two places.From then on, the west half of Feilong Xing can still be walked, but when it is near the east end, it has to go north to detour through the mountain trails, so as to avoid Zhongshan City at Xingkou.
Most of these trails in the mountains are rough and difficult to walk, and it takes half a day to go around half of the mountains.Even though Zheng Lun traveled day and night, it took him three or four days to leave the towering Taihang.The entourage came forward on horseback, and asked Zheng Lun respectfully, "General, do you still want to go to Zhongshan City?"
Zheng Lun was ordered by Feng Junyang to rush to the south of the Yangtze River to take over the newly gathered reinforcements. He should have gone directly to Yiping to cross the river, but he made a detour to Jizhou, in order to see the military deployment of the Xian family in Jizhou.Zhongshan City is a military fortress, so I naturally wanted to take a look. Now that I heard the guard's question, I nodded and said, "Go and have a look."
Zhongshan City was occupied by the Xian Clan, and they couldn't enter at all. Zheng Lun wanted to see the city, but he could only go to the top of the mountain outside the city to overlook the city.In such a place, nine times out of ten, there will be the other party's secret whistle, so you have to be very careful.Zheng Lun only took two guards with him, abandoned his horse, and climbed up the mountain.
His own martial arts are excellent, and the martial arts of the two accompanying guards are also not weak. The three of them deliberately chose a steep and difficult place, in order to avoid the secret whistle of the Xian people. voices came from above. "Master Xie, looking at the Xian clan in the city, there are no more than a few thousand people, but we have more people than them, so we shouldn't have any problem defeating them."
Zheng Lun's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, he hesitated for a while, and climbed up to the top of the mountain quietly, and sure enough, he saw six or seven people from the rivers and lakes standing on the edge of the cliff, one of them was five big and three thick, with a pair of stone axes stuck in his back waist. It's stupid.Not far in front of him, stood a woman who was also neatly dressed, with a bamboo hat on her head, and she looked a bit like Chen Nian.
Zheng Lun's heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, and he stared at the woman's back, but when the woman opened her mouth to speak, it was like a basin of cold water poured over her head. She was not Chen Nian, but Lu Lingque.
"There are too many ways to attack the city. Thinking back to when we captured Yiping from the He family, there were not many defenders in Yiping City, but we still lost a lot of people, so we managed to attack. If we want to capture this Zhongshan cannot be attacked by force, we have to find another way."
The first person to speak was a young and strong man of 23 or [-]. Hearing this, he laughed twice, and said, "Our number is more than double that of his Xian family, and we still can't take down such a small Zhongshan City? How can Master Xie Destroy one's own aspirations and impress others? Where is the courage to jump down from Yiping City earlier and regard thousands of troops as nothing? If you don't dare, then watch the battle from a distance. Lead troops to attack the city."
Because Lingque was pretending to be Chen Nian, she felt a little guilty at first, and was provoked by Fang Xun's words, and couldn't help but said: "Who said I dare not?"
Fang Xun asked again: "Then shall we fight Zhongshan City?"
Lingque immediately replied: "Fight, of course we want to fight, but not forcibly attacking the city. Tomorrow we will lie in ambush in Feilong Xing, and send two thousand soldiers to attack Zhongshan City at night, and then retreat in defeat, luring fresh The clan went out of the city, took the opportunity to defeat them, and took Zhongshan."
This plan was obtained after she and Wen Daya and others thought hard for a few days, now that she said it, Fang Xun and others also applauded in unison.Lingque was feeling complacent, but he heard someone coldly say not far away: "If the general guarding the city is a fool, this strategy may be able to deceive people."
Everyone was shocked when they heard the sound, Fang Xun immediately asked loudly, "Who is it?"
Zheng Lun walked out from behind the rock with his personal guards, glanced at everyone, and then replied flatly: "Zheng Lun."
Seeing Zheng Lun suddenly appearing here, Lingque was also very surprised, and said strangely: "General Zheng?"
She called Zheng Lun like this, but it attracted the attention of several others.At the beginning, Chen Nian and Zheng Lun had a meeting in Yiping, although all the signs afterwards showed that it was just a scene, but in the eyes of the world, the two were considered husband and wife anyway, they shouldn't be so unfamiliar.
Seeing the reaction of the crowd, Ling Que reacted abruptly. She was afraid that people would find out that she was a fake. She panicked and became dizzy. She took two steps forward and asked Zheng Lun in an affectionate tone. : "Brother Zheng, why are you here?"
Chennian has never called Zheng Lun like this before, Zheng Lun's expression was a little weird, he glanced at Ling Que, and said: "Passing by here, come and have a look." He paused, paused for a few breaths, Then he asked Lingque again, "Chen Nian, are you going to attack Zhongshan City?"
Lingque knew that Zheng Lun was a serious and upright person, and he was afraid that he would expose his identity. He didn't want him to be so upright, so he felt overjoyed, and quickly replied: "Yes, we want to take Zhongshan City from the Xian family. come down."
Zheng Lun nodded slightly, walked around Lingque, and walked to the edge of the cliff to see Zhongshan City at the foot of the mountain.Although it is far away, they can still get an overview of the deployment in the city. Just looking at the situation, there must be at least 5000 troops in the city.
Although Fang Xun and other rebel leaders had heard of Zheng Lun's name, they had never seen him before. They were a little surprised to see that he was only a young man in his 20s.Several people exchanged glances, then Fang Xun pulled Lingque aside, and asked in a low voice: "Master Xie, is he General Zheng Lunzheng who led the army to capture Xinye and Lintong?"
Lingque nodded: "Exactly."
Fang Xun and the others all showed surprise on their faces, and the other person hurriedly said: "People say that General Zheng is like a god in soldiers, since he is here, why not ask him to lead us all to capture Zhongshan City?"
Lingque secretly groaned, thinking that this person is not easy to get along with, he is a general commanding an army of tens of thousands, how could he be driven by you and me?Helpless, Fang Xun and the others pressed on.Lingque had no choice but to grit his teeth, walked to Zheng Lun and told Zheng Lun what everyone wanted.
"I don't have time." Zheng Lun refused flatly, glanced at everyone, and said to Lingque, "I also advise you, don't act rashly, find a safe place to stay, and then make plans."
