Chapter 138: Epilogue (1)
Daijun is an important town in northern Xinjiang, guarding between the three states of Hebei and Hebei, the passage is secluded, the mountains and rivers are belted, the east can disturb the Rong of the Liaohai Sea, and the west is the division of the flying fox, and it is also the fertile field in the south, and the desert is controlled in the north, known as the land of the key to the northern Xinjiang.
The so-called "Flying Fox" is talking about the world's well-known throat Flying Fox. The Flying Fox is one of the eight Taihang Mountains, and through the Flying Fox Mountain, you can reach Guangwu City in Yanmen County, Bingzhou.
In the past, Han Gaozu and the overlord Xiang Yu competed for the world, and used Lisheng's strategy to "according to the Su of Aocang, the danger of stuffing into Gao, the way of Du Taixing, the mouth of the fox, and the Jin of the white horse", all according to the shape of the place, so the world knows where to go. Among them, the so-called "mouth of the fox" is also the flying fox. This day is more than 100 miles long, the cliffs along the way, the ancients often suspected that only the spirit fox wings can fly over it, so it is named after the danger.
There is a small guest house at the east end of the Flying Fox. The guest house is located in the mountains, and a few miles to the north, it leaves the remaining veins of Taihang and enters the Daijun Basin. Compared with the insignificant size of the inn, business is prosperous, because most of the business travelers who come out of the canyon are tired and half dead, and would rather rest here for the night and set off for Dai County tomorrow; And most of the travelers from Daijun choose to rest here for a night to recuperate, and tomorrow they will go all out to climb over the steeps.
At this moment, noon is approaching, the smoke rises from the back wing of the guest house, and the aroma of cooking food wafts in the wind. Most of the guests gathered under the tea shed set up outside the store to wait for the meal to be served, and at the same time to escape the power of the scorching sun.
At the end of the road, a few more bikes came.
The knights have black-clothed swordsmen, and those in silk robes, all of which are majestic and unusual.
A moment later, the knights dismounted in front of the guest house. One of them commanded loudly: "Shop! Store! Grab the water and drink it! If you have something to eat, take some of it...... In addition, the horses were well taken care of. ”
The shopkeeper had already drawn a group of people to wait cautiously. This man is as majestic as a mountain, one arm is as thick as an ordinary person's waist, and he has a bearded man's beard and a fierce expression. So he said in a loud voice: "Guests can sit down with confidence, hot water and food are ready-made, and there are also high-quality forage to feed the horses." ”
There were nearly twenty people sitting in the tea shed, and there was no place to stand. So they led the horses to the open forest by the roadside, and sat down on the ground in the shade of the trees.
Not long after, the food and tea arrived.
Although the conditions here are poor, the food brought here is very good. In addition to staple foods such as steamed cakes and water cakes, there are also small plates of fish to accompany the meal. This fish is made of the finest carp, which is first scaled and deboned, cut into palm-sized pieces, kneaded with fine salt to taste, and placed in a large urn with dogwood, orange rice, spirits, etc., and then sealed with bamboo leaves and mushroom leaves, and marinated for several days. The entrance is fresh and mellow, which can be called a delicacy. According to the shopkeeper, it is an exclusive craftsmanship here, which is not found anywhere else.
The diners were feasting, when they heard a young man dressed as a merchant in the tea shed calling: "Shop, this fish is really delicious, can you sell it for me for ten catties and eight catties, and take it to eat on the road!" ”
A short man with a Hebei accent said stupidly: "Ten catties and eight catties? If we give you so much, how can we, the old customers of the trade routes, be so blessed the next time they pass by? This fish has to be made of Zhangshui's special carp to be considered a good product, but now that Jizhou is in flames, who dares to go there to sell aquatic products. Save a little and eat a little less. ”
As soon as these words came out, the tea shed suddenly burst into exclamations. Jizhou has a prosperous hukou, convenient transportation, and a very active business. Many of these merchants have the experience of selling goods to and from various parts of Jizhou, and many of them are from Jizhou. Jizhou was actually hit by a military disaster, which is really bad news.
The young man was eating and drinking sweetly, and when he heard the short man say this, he was so shocked that he almost smashed the bowl out of his hand: "What? Jizhou war? I'm going south to sell goods, don't bluff me, Daddy! ”
"Alas...... This little brother, why didn't you even inquire about the situation before you went out? Seeing the disbelief on the young man's face, a bald old man shook his head again and again, lifted the leg of his trousers, revealing a terrible scar on the side of his leg: "Jizhou is indeed at war, and almost all the counties south of Zhao County, such as Qinghe, Julu, Bohai, Xindu and other places, have suffered military disasters...... The people have been killed and wounded countless times, and ten rooms and nine empty rooms! Half a month ago, the old man was hiding from thieves in the Qinghe area, and accidentally hit an arrow in the knee, and he can only walk with a cane to this day. Look at this huge arrow wound, can it still be fake? ”
The boy screamed bitterly and fell backwards.
So everyone talked about the war in Jizhou. It turned out that after the Shile thief army plundered Yecheng, it immediately swept eastward to Jizhou, burning and killing and plundering along the way. After arriving at Leling, he turned back to the west, and at this moment he was fighting endlessly with the two armies of Yanzhou Assassin Shi Gou Xi and Jizhou Assassin Shi Ding Shao. This news had been brought to Lu Yao by Wang De a few days ago, and the merchants were slower after all, so the news was transmitted to Daijun.
While the crowd was talking in alarm, the knights ate and drank on their own, and did not participate. It's a pity that they are all very good hearing, and even if they sit outside, they can't prevent sporadic words from drifting into their ears with the mountain wind.
The majestic bearded young man suddenly threw the chopsticks and sighed: "Daijun is known as an important place in northern Xinjiang, and there are many heroic deeds. Yesterday I heard Wenlin say that in the past, Li Mu, a famous general of Zhao State, destroyed Lou Fu, broke Donghu, and descended Linhu here, and built the Great Wall along Yinshan Mountain, forcing Shan Yu to run, and did not dare to approach the border of Zhao for more than ten years. What a majesty! What a hero! Up to now, even if you are in the Northland, you will inevitably hear all kinds of depressing news in your ears! ”
A young man in a wide robe holding a sword looked at the undulating mountains in the east and the rivers and fields beyond, and said leisurely: "Since Lao Xue talked about Li Mu. Do you know that Li Mu's exploits don't stop there. His people made great achievements in war, resisting Qin, Han Wei in the south, punishing Qi Yan in the east, and single-handedly protecting Zhao in the turbulent times of the Warring States Period, which can be called a famous general and general unparalleled in the world. It's a pity that two generations of Zhao kings are mediocre, and there are ministers Guo Kai who confuses the monarch, so that the hero is at an end, and it still makes people sigh and sigh hundreds of years later...... Li Mu inherited the heroic and heroic shooting of Zhao's master father Hu Fu, and when he was in the last days, he still couldn't be himself. In today's current situation, I don't know who can be the main father? Who can beat Li Mu and turn the tide? ”
The young man in the wide robe and the sword is naturally Lu Yao, and the majestic bearded man is Xue Tong.
On that day, when the warrior fort met with the various departments of the Dai County, the edict of the king of the East China Sea arrived, with Lu Yao as the general of Yingyang, the Taishou of the Daijun, the supervisor of the Dai, Shanggu, and Quang Ninh three counties. Therefore, Lu Yao's foothold in Daijun is no longer hindered, and it can be said that he is both famous and subordinate. However, there is another sentence in this edict that "his position as the general of Pingbei General Sima is the same as before", which means that Lu Yao is still under the command of Liu Kun and Liu Yueshi, the general of Pingbei.
So Lu Yao sorted out the case overnight and sent an envoy to Jinyang to make a report.
At this time, Wen Qiao had already set off for Danhan Mountain, and generals such as Ding Miao, Xue Tong, and Shen Jin had to stay in Daijun to reorganize the army and fight in case of accidents. And Shao Xu not only had to be responsible for the general affairs of the whole army, but also had to start recruiting the subordinate officials at all levels under the county Taishou, and he was so busy that he couldn't wait to split one person into four or five to use.
In this way, the choice of the messenger becomes a problem. Lu Yao waited for several deliberations before he selected a scholar who was rescued from prison when he captured Dai Wangcheng, whose surname was Xiong Cong and Wenlin, and made him reluctant to take this position.
Although Lu Yao has concentrated on the reorganization of the training team for several days, he also knows that this trip is of great significance, so he and Xue Tong came forward to see Xiong Cong off, and repeatedly told him along the way to send him to Feihuyukou.
