Section XXXVIII. Dead bodies and sycophants
It is said that there must be a road in front of the lane mountain, which is not true at all, the road buried by the mudslide in front has been dug up, and an official covered in mud knelt down in the muddy water to welcome the arrival of Li Er's car, and the army in front has passed through the collapse area, Li Er looked at the collapsed mountain, sighed and said: "Good job." With that, the frame walked cautiously along the paved road.
The official was like being amnestied, lying on his back in the muddy water and crying, Yun Ye keenly noticed that his mouth was full of blood, and he didn't know how to survive just now.
It is not easy for them to use stones the size of human heads to build this section of the road, the ability of the Tang craftsmen is indeed not to be underestimated, the road more than ten meters long is very flat, there is not a single messy stone, a trickling stream hangs down from the rock and pours it on the stone, Yun Ye's eyes are black for a while, those stones the size of a human head, what kind of stone is there, it is a real human head, needless to say that the corpses buried in the soil layer.
"Husband, this official is capable, this road is easy to walk along the way, and it is not bumpy at all." That day, Twilight poked her head out of the car window and smiled sweetly at her husband.
"Yes, yes, you retract your head and sit down obediently, and we'll find a place to rest in no time." Yun Ye forcibly endured the discomfort in his stomach and arranged the restless sunset, and ordered the convoy to speed up and leave this road, and it was a sin to take one more step on the road filled in with human life.
The man and bear, the dog had already found out, and after looking at each other, they worked together to push the carriage out of this hell on earth, and the carriage went so far that Yun Ye didn't dare to look back. I'm afraid that those unjust souls will find trouble for themselves.
The imperial order is ruthless, and the military order is ruthless. The official is also ruthless, and I don't know how the living official will explain it to Minling's wife and children when he returns. Yun Ye felt that he couldn't explain it to himself now.
Holding a small tree in the rain and vomiting darkly, the stomach seems to be up to the throat, as long as you add a little more strength to vomit out, Liu Jinbao took the kettle to Hou Ye to rinse his mouth, and the water entered the stomach, which immediately attracted a new round of vomiting.
There was an explosion in the distance, this was arranged by Yun Ye, the dammed lake must be dredged, otherwise it will definitely bring disaster to the people downstream. Regarding Yun Ye's arrangement, Li Er agreed, in fact, Yun Ye didn't plan to care whether Li Er agreed or not, and was going to do it first.
Standing on the ruined old foundation of Qipanguan and looking north, it is faintly visible the Huangba Station in Shun County, Guanzhong, which is one of the most important post stations on the Jinniu Road. Further north, the Golden Bull Road will meet the unforgettable Bao Slope Road that Yun Ye just walked out, turn left near Baocheng, and pass through the Qinling Mountains. Out of the sloping valley, straight through the 800-mile Qinchuan River, to the hinterland of the Central Plains.
The continuous autumn rain is still falling, and the team has been resting for two days on the site of Qipanguan. Entering the Qinling Mountains soon, the men and horses had to make final preparations, and this section of the road would take six days. Maybe ten days in the middle of a heavy rain?
At this time, it was discovered that the absence of fuel was a very terrible thing, and the army had already begun to eat dry food. Only the women and children of the Yun family had hot food to eat, and the rest of the people, including Yun Ye, were gnawing on dry food. The rough pot helmet made his throat hurt, and he raised his head and swallowed a little rain as if he was drinking water.
Li Er thought that the Yun family had no firewood, so he specially ordered someone to send a load, this was because the grandmother and the children were there, and they were specially given preferential treatment, Yun Ye ordered someone to send the firewood to the injured in the back camp, and it was good to boil a mouthful of hot porridge for them to drink.
The emperor's luan drive was finally started, the heavy rain became a little lighter, and the rutted ditches on the stone road in the mountains were full of rainwater, but fortunately, Yun Ye did not change the distance between the wheels of the Yun family indiscriminately, so he could walk on such a monument very smoothly, the car walked fast and steadily, and the decree that the car was on the same track was very necessary.
Li Er's luan driving is not good, wide and luxurious are his characteristics, so his wheels will often sink into the groove and break the axle, Li Er has to give way to the great car track, and continue to move forward in a narrow carriage.
The Yinping Ancient Road is also in this generation, because just after turning the foot of the mountain, a fierce mountain that plunges straight into the clouds suddenly came into view. Yun Ye knew that this was the famous Sky Ridge on the Yinping Ancient Road, and it was the desperate place that Deng Ai passed through when he led the troops to die nine times and finally won a surprise victory and destroyed Shu in one fell swoop.
At this time, it was almost dusk, but the road became terrifying and dangerous, the wind and the rock roared suddenly, and the phantoms around were longing, which made people shudder. Fortunately, there are people all around, so you don't have to worry too much about ghosts and gods, which makes Yun Ye feel a lot more at ease.
The heavy rain finally stopped, the white clouds like cotton wool covered the sky, the skyscraper ridge was surrounded by white clouds, and the top of the mountain was illuminated by the long-lost sunshine a golden yellow, such a scene was rare, and the army stopped unconsciously, because Li Er stopped, he stood on the mountain road, looked up at the skyscraper, thoughtful.
"Wuding Kaishan has the Golden Bull Ancient Road, can a scam allow the King of Shu to open the door by himself?" Yun Ye quietly asked Li Tai, can King Qin's stupid strategy succeed? How stupid does the King of Shu need to be to believe such an outrageous thing as a cow that can dig gold?
"How do I know, that's how the annals record, the king of Shu specially sent Wuding to open this road in order to welcome the golden bull and the beauty, but the beauty didn't come, Sima Cuo's army came in, and the Shu kingdom perished."
Li Tai's answer was dry, without any creativity, Yun Ye knew that Li Er now wanted someone to ask him, "Why is Your Majesty meditating here, can you get something?" Then he could go on and on a lot.
If there was no such thing as a corpse mating the road, Yun Ye would be happy to play the role of this minister, but after seeing those corpses, Yun Ye would rather ask Li Tai, who was born without much romantic style, than let Li Er feel comfortable.
Heaven does not fulfill people's wishes, Li Er has such a person, that person is the eldest grandson, the eldest grandson came to Li Er's back and asked: "Why is Your Majesty pondering, can you have gains?" Hearing this, Yun Ye turned his head disdainfully.
"The skyscraper ridge is ten thousand feet high, Deng Ai stole into Yinping, the queen Liu Chan opened the door to surrender, Shu died, poor Liu Bei Zhuge Liang's life's hard work was exhausted, it can be seen that the danger of mountains and rivers is not enough as a barrier, if you want to inherit it for generations, you need to build a strong city in people's hearts."
Yun Ye gritted his teeth and listened to the eldest grandson's sycophants, took out a roasted fluffy potato from his pocket and handed it to Li Tai, and he had another one in his pocket.
One of them is arrogant, and the other is a well-known sycophant, and they enjoy it. If you are kind, you can be kind to the extreme, and you will not frown when you are fierce and bleed.
The gauze on Wei Zheng's face was finally removed, those creepy white puffs were gone, and those eyes became as sharp as a falcon again, fortunately he didn't see those corpses on the road, otherwise I don't know what it would be like to be sad, sometimes, being blind is much better than being a clear-eyed person, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, as if they didn't see anything, the eldest grandson Wuji thought that this should be done, and those veterans didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this.
Just after saying that heaven and earth are unkind to all things as dogs, he himself treats the people as dogs, and what he says in the future, in the end, which sentence is true and which sentence is false, Yun Ye thinks that he can't distinguish it clearly.
When people say it, it cannot be denied that they are indeed sincere, but with the passage of time, this sentence often has other interpretations, and it can also make sense, and in the end it becomes a real empty word.
This kind of thing is hereditary, Yun Ye patted the horse too much, Yun Shou will inevitably inherit some, jumped off the carriage, carried two roasted brown potatoes on his robe, and jumped to the queen twice.
"Grandma Queen, this is the potato that Shou'er baked for you, it's fragrant." Yun Shou looked at the queen expectantly with a fat face, waiting for the queen to praise him well, and he didn't believe that Yun Shou could bake such potatoes when he killed Yun Ye.
The eldest grandson pinched Yun Shou's fat face, picked up a potato with a smile, peeled off the skin, and then took a bite before handing it to Li Er and said, "Your Majesty, taste it, the little fat man baked it well." “
Li Er frowned, glanced at Yun Shou, and said angrily: "No one else has firewood to cook, how can you still have firewood to bake potatoes?" Tell me, what's the best way? “
"That's because they're too stupid, Shou'er will add a little wet wood to the fire when he uses dry firewood, and when the dry wood is burned clean, the wet wood will become dry firewood, so Shou'er always has some dry charcoal, and there is endless firewood."
Listening to Yun Shou's words, the eldest grandson sneered and laughed, Li Er also scratched the back of his head, this kind of common sense in life was very surprising to him, in fact, not only the Yun family did this, but some older scouts also did this, as long as people who have been to the grassland, they will basically do this, the shepherd's method of drying cow dung is just the ability that the sun and dusk taught Yun Shou, there is a shortage of fuel on the grassland, only this method is used, but it can't be used on a large scale, Therefore, the food on the grassland is basically half-cooked and eaten.
Li Er was very satisfied with Yun Shou's baked potatoes, and ate one for the sake of face, Cheng Yanjin walked over and whispered to Yun Ye: "You taught it?" “
Yun Ye shook his head, he had never taught Yun Shou this, a small thing can be done without leakage, it is very rare, first of all, his second mother will not say that the potatoes were roasted by her, and he will not say that the matter of drying firewood is taught by her, Yun Shou will put this credit on himself with peace of mind, without any worries.
The important thing is that the goal of the sycophant is clear, and it goes straight to the main goal, no wonder the eldest grandson will say after Yunshou is in trouble: "Whoever dares to hold this son, the old woman will spit on it." ”
"The descendants of the old Cheng family will lack this cleverness, what kind of person is what life, nine years old to see the old, in the future, this will also be a human spirit." Cheng Yanjin watched Yun Shou and the queen talk and laugh from the side, and said with emotion. (To be continued......)
