With Shen Zhezi's chanting, the atmosphere in the bamboo building changed from impetuousness at the beginning to silence, and then it became a little depressed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
This article "Difficult to Walk" brings the rolling river in front of you at the beginning, and the vision can be described as grand. Even if everyone in the audience is not a well-educated person, they are all people with family roots, and they have been tempered by the world, and they may not have tried to draft this old topic of Yuefu in private, but most of them are chattering and complaining, feeling that they are not at the right time, such as a woman whispering, which is not good to show in front of others.
It can be said that Shen Zhezi's article, starting from the first sentence of the problem, has a much higher artistic conception than the old works that circulated abroad. The next sentence continues, the waves rise suddenly, and the huge waves of thousands of feet are naturally written about the capture of Jiankang by the Liyang rebels now. The waves are monstrous, everyone is as humble as ants in this turbulent situation, how easy is it to turn the tide?
At this point, it can be said that the changes in the situation and the humility of manpower have been written to an extreme. The river flows across the moat, but so what? Together, the waves are monstrous, and everyone is difficult to feel at ease. However, what about the hardships of life, the north is erosive, the land of China is sinking, the Hulu is raging, and the bones are heavy! Looking north, all I saw was despair!
At this point, it can be said that the feeling is depressing and heavy. The pedestrian road is difficult, and the national fortune is also difficult, and it is difficult to walk. However, just when the emotion sank to a low point, it suddenly reversed, there was no hero, Huo Hou was lonely, I would like to be a pillow and be a wolf, and follow the example of the sages to seal the wolf! Don't think I'm just pretending to be crazy, I'm willing to disembowelment and let you taste whether it is heroic or not! Although the road ahead is difficult, I am also willing to fight bloodily and repeat the glory of the old Han!
"The barren mound and white bones are uncovered, and the north looks at the old country and the smoke is ......"
An old man's hoarse singing voice suddenly sounded in the banquet, it was Yingchuan Xundi. He is the oldest person in the seat, most of his life has been spent in the north, forced by the military disaster to move south, and now forced to flee to the east due to the military disaster, at this time singing this song "Difficult to Walk", has been unable to help but tears, reminiscing about the past, the tone of voice gives people a sense of desolation and loneliness, so that the listeners are too restful, and their hearts are difficult to express.
In terms of the current Yuefu poetry standards, Shen Zhezi's "Difficult to Walk" is naturally difficult to call a masterpiece, the rhyme is too sonorous, the feelings are too strong, and it is not easy to be happy.
One of the reasons why the poetry style is beautiful and tactful nowadays is that it is easy to match with the tune to enter the music, and the singers are mostly women, and the lingering compassion can still be reflected, and it is difficult to express the emotions that are too passionate with their vocal range. Wu Yin is more than charming, and after the southern crossing, the Jian'an poetry style is gone.
But in terms of rhyme, Shen Zhezi's song is not the misfortune of one person, but the decline of the country's fortunes, and the extreme sadness turns to impassioned. In such a season as a time when it is necessary to awaken the righteousness of the people, it can give people enough infection. Therefore, as Xun Di's old singing sounded, more and more people in the building joined in this song, and soon spread from this small island in the river to all sides.
"It's hard to walk, it's hard to walk! Bloody battle in China, reopen the two Han heavens! β
Shen Zhezi has no ambition to get rid of the flashy and glamorous poetic style for this work, after all, he can't be called a literary master at all with his current work. However, the charm of poetry lies in the fact that even the poet himself does not know whether it will hit the point or not, and it will resonate widely. But this did not prevent him from taking advantage of the situation, and when he heard the echoing sound of the river outside, he repeatedly showed his eyes to the court.
Yu Tiao has the most contact with Shen Zhezi, and he already has a tacit understanding in his heart, and when he sees his eyes, he should have some understanding. Hurried downstairs, summoned a few of the attachΓ©s to give a few quick commands, and then sent them out.
Not long after, the tone of the whole riverside chanting this song "Difficult to Walk" was a masterpiece, and at the beginning, only those patrolmen arranged by Yu Tiao sang it. But over and over again, more and more people joined in this impassioned chant. The male voice is vast and thick, it is difficult to call the beauty of the rhyme, nor the beauty of rude music, and even the beat is uneven, but when thousands of voices converge into a torrent, it is also enough to shake people's hearts, spreading along the river.
Not far from the opposite side of the river, is where the camp of the general Che Cai, the Marquis of Gao Ping, and the assassin of Xuzhou Xi Jian. Compared with the prosperity of Jingkou on the other side, the festive atmosphere here in Huaibei is much inferior, in order to prevent the people from gathering together to cause trouble, Xi Jian even sent troops along the river to defend the people, prohibiting the people from approaching the river.
Due to the jealousy of the new Zhongshu Shilang, in order to avoid suspicion, Xi Jian withdrew many strongholds and patrol soldiers arranged by the Huaibei Army along the river in the past. Of course, there is no lack of color in this, after all, if there is no Huaibei Army to supervise the river, the Liyang rebels may march eastward at any time.
Although Xi Jian also knew that Liyang was rebelling now, he himself was a little difficult to defend himself. But now in the eventful season, Zhongshu is so jealous of him, and he doesn't have the action of calling him across the river to see him on his face, which makes him a little unacceptable. If he really has the heart to respond to Liyang, how can Jingkou be stable!
In fact, Xi Jian's situation is also a little embarrassing now, in his early years, he was jointly expelled to Guangling by various overseas Chinese families in Jingkou. He endured this evil breath for the time being, and after crossing the river, he relied on his old hopes and connections, and quickly put down the rebellion of the rest of Liu Yao. Although there is still Guo Mo, who was installed by the predecessor Zhongshu, is hindered here, the overall situation of Huaibei can finally be maintained.
In fact, in Xi Jian's heart, there is always a thought, that is, to cross the river and regain control of the situation in Beijing. Jingkou is the rear of Huaibei, if you don't master Jingkou, then no matter what kind of situation he runs in Huaibei, it will be a rootless tree, once the army of Qihu is surging and the rear is unsustainable, no matter how good the situation will be destroyed overnight!
Moreover, he was expelled from Jingkou to Guangling in Huaibei in embarrassment, which was also an inexorable shame for Xi Jian. He also knew that the impact of his unauthorized crossing of the river could be big or small, especially when his predecessor Zhongshu looked at all sides, and it was better to be still. Therefore, he only stayed in Guangling with peace of mind, hoping that there would be turmoil in Jingkou himself.
In the past few years, it has been seen that Kyokou has not only not been chaotic, but has even become more and more prosperous. On the contrary, it was Huaibei that he himself guarded, and the guards from all over the country became closer and closer to Jingkou. Although Xi Jian is the nominal official of these people, the homeless marshal has his own way of survival, and he can only advise and be vigilant about this, but cannot directly intervene.
Because of this, Xi Jian had to deepen his ties with Wang Taibao in order to have a strong echo in Taichung. Otherwise, if this goes on for a long time, he will be even more dispensable in Huaibei.
It was in such a torturous wait that Xi Jian finally waited for the big change in the current situation. Although there is no lack of regret for Liyang's rebellion, Xi Jian also knows that with the political style of his predecessor Zhongshu, Liyang will not rebel, and there will be chaos in other places, such as Huaibei where he guarded. Therefore, Xi Jian thought more about the matter of King Qin, and as for selfishness, he also hoped that his family could represent the imperial court to impose a firmer bond on the Huaibei Liumin Marshal.
However, the next thing changed too quickly, so fast that Xi Jian didn't have time to react, and then the current situation appeared. Originally, the platform was placed in Jingkou, and Xi Jian was also happy to see it, after all, compared with other parties, Guangling and Jingkou were separated by a water, and he occupied an absolute geographical advantage.
However, this apparent geographical advantage has not been translated into concrete advantages. Although Xi Jian is now supervising the military of the five states, he is the only one in the same position, but the scope of his actual influence is still the past Huaibei, and even Huaibei is hidden out of control.
One of the most obvious manifestations is that when he summoned a group of subordinate generals to discuss how to deal with the Huaibei Army in the coming day, nearly half of the generals were absent! Of course, these people have good reasons on the surface, some have a deep friendship with Su Jun so they want to avoid suspicion, some are short of supplies and difficult to dispatch, and some have to guard the place to guard against the raids of Qianhu. But in private, Xi Jian is sure that these must have more or less communicated with the other side!
For these homeless marshals who have been guarding the turbulent frontiers for a long time, crossing the river is the biggest temptation. Not to mention Su Jun, who is now in control of Gyeonggi and shakes the world, Xu Mao and other Liu Yao's old subordinates, who stayed across the river earlier and are now making a lot of money, have already made these people envious. Now the imperial court urgently needs to recruit people to quell the rebellion, and it is a rare opportunity for these people.
If the situation in Huaibei could be completely controlled earlier, then at this time, Xi Jian could also use these people's idea of crossing the river to test and persecute Jingkou Xingtai, but now, these people have their own calculations and contact the other side in private, which exposes the weakness of Huaibei. For the generals with ghosts, Xi Jian also hated deeply.
But in fact, he is helpless about this, just from his own military title, you can see the chaos of the forces in Huaibei nowadays, one hundred people, one thousand people, each has a homeland, and it is really difficult to twist into a whole in a short period of time. Earlier, when Liu Yao was alive, he could only maintain this chaos and try to appease and balance all parties. Although Xi Jian has an old reputation, what he can get in exchange for is only a superficial politeness.
Even if Xingtai is willing to pay a sufficient price, these people are afraid that even the superficial politeness will no longer be maintained, and there will definitely be no shortage of people who will rise up to replace him.
Therefore, although he ostensibly held a heavy army, Xi Jian did not dare to cross the river by force. And Xingtai is also worried that if he makes noise about other people's affairs, no one will be able to replace Xi Jian to stabilize the situation in Huaibei in a short time. Each other has their own scruples, and they can only be so stalemate for a while.
On the day of Shangsi, after the camp was completed, Xi Jian was about to go back, but he faintly heard a movement coming from the opposite side, so he looked left and right and asked, "Do you hear any sounds on the other side of the river?" β
The others listened for a moment, and then they all nodded, but the voice was too indistinct to hear very well.
"Go down the river and take a look."
The subordinate general Li Hong came out of the crowd to ask for instructions, and Xi Jian bowed his head slightly after hearing this, although he was still maintaining a detached posture at the moment, he was also extremely concerned about the situation on the other side of the river.
Li Hong led the crowd to the ferry to get on the boat and head towards the other side of the river. Xi Jian stood by the river for a long time, and knew that Li Hong would not be able to return for a while, so he returned to the camp first to deal with military affairs.
It wasn't until nearly the evening in the afternoon that Li Hong hurriedly returned and recounted in detail the scene he saw on the other side of the river where people were celebrating and 10,000 people singing "Difficult to Walk", and then added his own evaluation: "The princes of Xingtai really don't know what to say, when this country is in trouble, how can they still have the leisure to indulge the people here!" β
After listening to this, Xi Jian was silent, sitting in front of the bookcase and writing down the poem "Difficult to Walk". Although he has a famous style, but he is just using this to integrate into the atmosphere of Jiangdong, in fact, he is not keen on poetry and the like, and this old theme of Yuefu is not a good work in his opinion, the words are too dangerous, and the affection is too strong and unrestrained.
What shook the heart even more was Li Hong's detailed description of the gathering of the old and young on the other side of the river, the celebration of purification, and the scene of 10,000 people singing this poem together. After closing his eyes and thinking about it for a while, Xi Jian could feel the grandeur of the scene. And the meaning behind this is inevitably more thought-provoking. The Jingkou Xingtai has not yet been established, but the people can not be affected by the war, which inevitably makes him think deeply about how the other side of the river calms down the hearts of the most difficult to appease.
After pondering for a long time, Xi Jian said: "Prepare, I want to cross the river." β
"The lord has finally decided?" When Li Hong heard this, he thought that Xi Jian had made up his mind to break the situation by force, so his face also showed joy.
Xi Jian shook his head after hearing this: "You don't have to work hard, I can cross the river by myself." β
Although they are only separated by a river, due to the existence of Jingkou, he has cut off the channels of communication with the Gyeonggi Taibao and Wang Shu, and Xi Jian actually does not have a keen and intuitive perception of the changes in the situation. He did not necessarily want to show any attitude when he crossed the river, but he hoped to deepen his understanding of the situation before making his own decision.
