Chapter 397: Bard
After breakfast, Wei Ba took Dunwu and others to the street. Yong'an, formerly known as the White Emperor City, is the famous "White Emperor Caiyun" of the White Emperor City, which was built by Gongsun Shu of Bashu in the late Western Han Dynasty. Later, Gongsun Shu was destroyed, and the White Emperor City was destroyed, and it was repeatedly repaired and never restored to its original appearance. In the second year of Zhang Wu, Liu Bei was defeated by Lu Xun in Yiling, returned to Chengdu without face, and lived in the White Emperor City, renamed Yong'an, and built Yong'an Palace in the west of the city. He spent eight months of his life here, probably the most aggrieved eight months of his life.
After Liu Bei's death, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, who rushed to Yong'an, returned to Chengdu to preside over the overall situation, and stayed in Yong'an to protect Li Yan in the central capital with Zhuge Liang. According to Liu Bei's last order, Li Yan commanded the internal and external military, and of course he had to guard the most important strategic places. At that time, the biggest threat to Shu Han was from Eastern Wu, and Yong'an was the front line, so it was no surprise that Li Yan guarded here. But Li Yan probably didn't expect that as soon as this precedent was opened, he, the protector of the central capital, would never have a chance to return to the Chengdu court.
After Zhuge Liang came to power, the first thing he did was to restore the alliance with Eastern Wu, Yong'an was no longer the front line, but Li Yan failed to return to Chengdu. He stayed in Yong'an for a few years, watching Zhuge Liang first go on the Southern Expedition and then the Northern Expedition. When Zhuge Liang was on the Northern Expedition, he thought he had a chance to return to Chengdu, but Zhuge Liang turned him into a former general and transferred to Jiangzhou as a reserve for the Northern Expedition. At that time, Li Yan knew that he was tricked by Zhuge Liang, and Zhongdu Hu was inexplicably gone, and he, the number one military leader, not only could not experience the front-line command of the battle, but became Zhuge Liang's reserve, and also lost the Yongan base that had been operating for several years.
Yongan now has such a scale. Most of it is Li Yan's credit, but Li Yan himself has no chance to enjoy it. As the western fortress of the Three Gorges, the merchants who come and go between Wu and Shu will choose to stop in Yong'an before going downstream, and keep their spirits up to deal with the dangerous Three Gorges. And going upstream, after crossing the Three Gorges, you will also choose to stop here to catch your breath. Settle your mind. Then continue west.
Yong'an became the largest military and commercial town at the eastern end of Shu Han.
Chen Zhi's garrison was in a small city, but the market was not in a big city, but outside the city. If Wei Ba wants to visit the scenery of the White Emperor City, he must go out of the city. Chen Zhi was a little worried. A lieutenant named Bai Jian was arranged to take fifty Bai Jian soldiers to protect Wei Ba.
Bai Jian doesn't talk much. The tour guide was very incompetent. When I get to a certain place, I will only be stunned and say, what is this. What is that, and then he vigilantly pays attention to the surrounding environment, what kind of cultural scenery, he doesn't know anything, let alone anything else. Fortunately, Wei Ba didn't want to talk to him, he came to the bazaar, not to buy things, but to see Guan Feng.
Things have changed, and he must report the news to Guan Feng in time.
In front of a wine shop, Wei Ba saw a dusty horse and a familiar face. He said to Bai Jian quietly: "Captain Bai, I want to go and drink some wine, let's go together?" ”
Bai Jian smiled honestly and patted the bow on his back: "Go at ease, I'll just wait outside." There are too many people coming and going here, but I can't be careless, if something happens, Chen Dudu can't spare me. ”
Wei Ba couldn't cry or laugh, where did he come from, he couldn't speak, what did it mean to "go with confidence", Lao Tzu went to drink with a beautiful woman, not to go to the execution ground. Also, aren't you worried about Lao Tzu's safety, but Chen Dudu can't spare you?
Seeing Wei Ba's strange expression, Bai Jian also realized that what he said was inappropriate, his face flushed, and he couldn't say a word. Wei Ba smiled and waved his hand generously: "Okay, you just guard outside, I'll come when I go." ”
Wei Ba went upstairs, and at a glance he saw Guan Feng, who was dressed as a man and sitting by the window, he walked over and sat down opposite him. Guan Feng glanced at him and said in a low voice, "That man is good." ”
"What's good?" Wei Ba was inexplicable.
"If you look at the hard bow he carries, you can tell that his archery skills must be good." Guan Feng glanced at Bai Jian downstairs and said unhurriedly: "His face is dark, he should be a person who has been outdoors all year round." When he walks, his feet are spread apart, his body leans forward slightly, and his knees are slightly bent, which should be accustomed to walking mountain roads. From the accent in which he spoke, it was almost certain that he was not a local, but a native of Fuling or even south of Fuling. Judging from all aspects, this person should be a hunter with excellent archery skills, and he entered the Baiwei Army with his true skills. ”
Wei Ba was dumbfounded. He has always felt that he is very observant, but compared to Guan Feng, he is simply weak. He could only see that this Bai Jian had some ability, after all, a person who could be a lieutenant in the Bai Jian Army would not be a weak hand, but he definitely didn't think so carefully as Guan Feng.
"Sister, it's a pity that you don't lead the troops."
"Am I not here to lead the troops?" Guan Feng smiled proudly, then put away his smile again, and said seriously: "What's the matter with being so anxious to see me?" ”
"The situation has changed, we have to enter the Wu realm."
Guan Feng's face changed suddenly: "How could there be such a big change?" ”
"This is the Prime Minister's arrangement." Wei Ba told Fei Yi what he had told him, but he didn't say anything about the map that Han Zhenying brought, he looked at Guan Feng quietly, and waited for a moment before asking, "Sister, do you think I can go?" ”
Guan Feng had calmed down, she pursed her lips and said to herself: "It seems that the prime minister already knows about us." ”
Wei Ba frowned: "What can we do?" ”
Guan Feng was stunned for a moment, and then took a sip at Wei Ba: "Don't think about it, I mean, we will join forces to help you." ”
Wei Ba breathed a sigh of relief and stroked his chest: "I said it." This matter is certain, there are more than 200 of you, and there are so many war horses, how can you hide it from the eyes and ears of the prime minister. ”
"If that's the case, then we're going to have to do it even more." Guan Feng smiled slightly, his eyes lit up: "Even if this is a pit, we have to rush up and trample on his traps to see what he can do to us." ”
Wei Ba was shocked. The reason why he didn't tell the information brought by Han Zhenying was to see what kind of countermeasures Guan Feng would take in this situation, but he didn't expect this woman to be not afraid at all, and chose the simplest and most brutal method without hesitation.
You can't get carried away by hatred, do you? Such a dangerous thing, you should be a playhouse? He couldn't help but remind, "Sister, this is dangerous. ”
"Nonsense, can I not know the danger?" Guan Feng reprimanded angrily: "It is precisely because of the risk that we have to face the difficulties." Because the greater the risk, the greater the benefit. Think about it, if this thing is done, he can still trap him in the palace to study? Who else but you is qualified to guard that land? ”
"Why don't I see any gains?" Wei Ba deliberately said in frustration: "I only see danger. ”
"That's stupid." Guan Feng laughed silently: "Haven't you always been worried about having no soldiers?" As long as you control there, in the blink of an eye, you can have thousands of elite foot soldiers. If you want to go to the east of the emperor, you also have to ask those barbarians to help. ”
Wei Ba also smiled. The reason why he changed his mind and agreed to carry out this dangerous mission was, of course, also out of this consideration. If we want to be based on force, we must have strong force. The Wei family has military pawns, but these warriors cannot be his, and it is necessary to give priority to his father Wei Yan and brother Wei Feng, and only a small part can be given to him. If he wants to develop quickly and have his own armed Liliang, instead of relying only on Guan, Zhang and others, he can only go to those barbarian gathering areas to recruit soldiers. Whether it is Eastern Wu or Shu Han, this is the best source of elite soldiers.
"In that case, then sister should go first." Wei Ba groaned: "Don't go to Xiling, it's too dangerous." I've got a map here, and you can deploy it according to the places I've marked. ”
Wei Ba took out a copy of the map from his arms and pushed it in front of Guan Feng: "Sister, I have put my life in your hands." ”
Guan Feng took the map, stuffed it into his sleeve, thought about it, and suddenly said angrily: "Stinky boy, you even have the map ready, and you still come to ask my opinion?" ”
Wei Ba smiled: "Because I know my sister will think so." ”
"How do you know?" Guan Feng said angrily: "You are not the worm in my stomach? ”
Wei Ba pointed to his heart, and then pointed to Guan Feng, squeezing his eyes. "I'm not a worm in your stomach, but we know a little bit about it."
"What's so clear?" Guan Feng frowned slightly: "Is it poetry or fu?" How I haven't heard of it. ”
"It's poetry!" Wei Ba thought for a while, and laughed softly: "There are no colorful phoenix wings, and the heart is a little clear." What I did, didn't it sound good? ”
"You did it?" Guan Feng looked at Wei Ba with suspicion, took a sip of wine, and put the wine glass on the table: "Then you can say a few more words." ”
Wei Ba said solemnly: "The next seat sends the hook to the spring heart, and the chrysanthemum red is shot." ”
Guan Feng pondered for a moment, and sneered: "Your poetry is big enough, four hours and eight festivals, there is no obstacle in and out." One will be spring, and the other will be autumn. ”
Wei Ba was speechless and raised his wine glass to cover his face. and Guan Fengyin's poems seem to have made the wrong object, this kind of elegant thing, only Xiahou Hui can understand the subtle meaning.
Guan Feng didn't give up, and took another sip: "If you have the heart to write these bullshit poems, it's better to spend some effort to entrap your soldiers." On this hot day, I don't know how to send some drinks down to quench their thirst. Don't you know that the grains of charcoal in the snow are warm, and no one looks at the icing on the cake? ”
When Wei Ba heard this, he nodded again and again, and praised while asking people to send some wine to quench the thirst of those white eyes: "Sister, you are still thoughtful, why didn't I think about it." ”
"You are a young man, where would you think of the suffering of these soldiers." Guan Feng looked at the guards downstairs and sighed faintly: "Although these people haven't read any books, and they may not know any sage's righteousness, they have a much better conscience than those who read. At least, they won't pride you and hurt you at the same time. (To be continued......)
