Chapter 20 Wang Meng Goes Out of the Mountain

After the Lanting Collection, Yuge stayed in Shanyin City for a few months, preparing to ride back to Qianqin. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Xie Daoyun rarely fell in love with her, and under Xie Daoyun's repeated invitations, Yuge decided to return to Qianqin after Xie Daoyun's birthday. So he repaired a book and asked people to take it back to Luoyang.

In Shanyin City, in the music and dance workshop, the princes of the Wang family and Xie Xuan were sitting together, Wang Suzhi took out a letter and said, "This is the letter I ordered someone to stop, haven't you always wanted to know who this third girl is?" Don't you know if you take it apart and look at it? ”

Seeing that Xie Xuan didn't answer, Wang Suzhi looked around at everyone, all with a serious face. Wang Suzhi sneered and said, "You are all righteous men and gentlemen, if you don't do anything, then I'll come!" ”

As he spoke, he was about to make a move, but Xie Xuan snatched the envelope with his hand and said, "Why do you want to do such a thing, I will deliver this letter in person." ”

"You're going to deliver the letter?" Wang Zheng's face was incredulous.

Xie Xuan picked up the sword from the table, stood up, and said, "I went with the person who delivered the letter, and where the letter was delivered also explained where the three girls came from." ”

Wang Suzhi said: "What if she lied to you, and this letter was not sent home to her parents at all?" What if it's just used to confuse you? ”

Xie Xuan said: "I am willing to give it a try no matter what." ”

Wang Zhengzhi said on the side: "The third girl should not be so hateful. ”

After a few people finished speaking, Xie Xuan got up and went out, and everyone sent him out, and Wang Suzhi ordered someone to bring a horse and said, "I'll go with you." The crowd watched as the two rode their horses and disappeared around the corner, then turned back to the dance hall and continued to drink and have fun.

On the Xie family's house, Yuge and Xie Daoyun played the drum and piano, Xie Daoyun said: "I heard the prince of the Wang family say that you composed a few tunes when you first arrived in Shanyin, what kind of tunes are they?" ”

Yuge remembered it and said, "I forgot it myself." ”

Xie Daoyun smiled, and when she didn't want to mention it, he said, "Would you like to compose a piece with me?" ”

Yuge's eyes were blazing when he heard this, and he said, "It's an honor!" ”

Xie Daoyun hooked the strings, listened to the fish song, and suddenly the words written to Fu Chang came to his mind, and he slowly read to the piano sound: I live at the head of the Yangtze River, and you live at the end of the Yangtze River. Every day, I don't see you, and I drink the water of the Yangtze River. When will this water stop? When has this hatred ended? I only hope that your heart will be like my heart, and I will live up to my love.

Xie Daoyun listened to her reading, and sang slowly. Listening to the fish song, it seems to return to the scene when he said goodbye to Chang'an, riding a horse and standing outside the city to watch the sunset alone.

At this time, in Chang'an City, Zhang Yu was indignant, wanted to lead the troops to Shun the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and turned against Ge Fujian, the matter was revealed, Zhang was killed, and the generals raised troops against Qin when they heard the letter. After the defeat of Yin Hao of the Jinzhong army, Huan Wen wanted to start a northern expedition, and everyone in the previous dynasty was discussing countermeasures.

Xie Xuan and Wang Suzhi crossed Guanshan with the caravan to Luoyang, and outside Luoyang City, they saw a woman in Tsing Yi waiting under the city wall. Yu Ge entrusted the merchant who delivered the letter to come forward and ask, "Excuse me, this is Qingluan girl?" ”

Qingluan was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly said, "But the girl asked you to send the letter back?" ”

The merchant who delivered the letter said: "There is a girl Zhang San who asked her to send the letter back, saying that there will be a girl named Qingluan waiting on the edge of the city." ”

"Miss Zhang San......" Qingluan thought, a little puzzled, but still took the letter, gave the merchant silver, and turned around and entered the city. After the girl went out of Luoyang, she went out of the city every day at sunrise and waited, and only came back from outside the city at sunset. After waiting for three months, although I didn't wait for the girl's person, it was excellent to wait for the girl's letter.

Qingluan entered the city all the way, Xie Xuan and Wang Suzhi saw this, rode their horses and followed, all the way to an alley. Wang Suzhi watched Qingluan enter from the small door, looked at the stone lion in front of the door, Wang Suzhi said: "It seems that the third girl is also from a big family. ”

As she spoke, an old woman opened the door from another place and walked out, Xie Xuan got off the horse and stepped forward to ask, "Dare to ask the old lady, which door is this?" ”

The old woman looked at it and said, "This is the door of the Fish Mansion, you came here to find the Fish Princess?" ”

Xie Xuan hurriedly explained: "It's not a big deal, it's just that I just saw a very beautiful girl enter this door, and I longed for it for a while, so I asked the old lady for advice." ”

The old woman leaned on crutches and said, "A very beautiful girl? There are no longer a few beautiful girls in the Yu family, if the son is really hearted, it is better to go to the main street and ask the Yu Gong to find the girl for the two sons. Yu Gong is known for his elegance, and he should also be willing to achieve good karma. ”

When Wang Suzhi heard this, he saw that the old woman said that Xie Xuan was the son who came to the door to ask for a beautiful woman, so he couldn't help but laugh. I saw Xie Xuan say, "Thank you for the old lady's advice." After speaking, the old woman walked out of the alley before turning over and getting on the horse. Wang Suzhi asked: "Do you really want to go to the house to 'ask for a good person'?" ”

Xie Xuan said: "It's all here, I don't know how to be willing." Saying that, he rode out of the alley, and he had five or six points in his heart to guess that the third girl was Yu Xiaomei, but he was not sure. Seeing Wang Suzhi's smiling appearance, Xie Xuan said, "It's up to you next." ”

Wang Suzhi couldn't say it well, and hurriedly retorted: "What is the **** matter? ”

In the Yu's house, Qingluan took the letter into the house, Jiang and Yuhai opened the letter and read it, and suddenly a small servant came to report outside the door, saying that two sons came to ask to see him. Yuhai walked out, saw Xie Xuan and Wang Suzhi, and saw that the two of them looked like they were from the Central Plains, so he asked: "The two sons came from afar, I don't know what happened to my house?" ”

Wang Su stepped forward and said: "Thanks to the old gentleman, in Xia Wang Suzhi, a native of Langya Shanyin, passing by the treasure land, I saw a woman in Tsing Yi from outside the city all the way to your mansion, Xiao Kexin yearned for it, hoping to meet the girl. ”

"Girl in Tsing Yi, ...... from outside the city" Yu Hai read, and asked Qingluan to come out and ask: "This ...... But the woman in Tsing Yi in the mouth of the child? ”

Qingluan stepped forward to salute the two sons, Wang Suzhi looked at Qingluan, he had no intention of coming to the door, but at this time, he looked at Qingluan closely, and there was a heartstring in his heart that seemed to be plucked for no reason. Qingluan saw the two sons and retreated, and Wang Suzhi hurriedly said, "Mr. Hui's words are this girl." ”

Yuhai said: "This is Qingluan, a female slave in my family's house, and the son means ......"

Wang Suzhi said: "I am willing to ask for Qingluan as a wife." Xie Xuan sat on the side, secretly scolding Wang Suzhi for being unkind, and when he saw that the girl was beautiful, he faked it and did it. Yuhai asked Qingluan what he meant, and Qingluan said: "Qingluan and that son don't know each other, so I am afraid that I will lose my girl's family duty." What's more, Qingluan is only a slave, and she only wants to wait for the girl to come back in the house, and she won't go anywhere else. ”

Knowing Qingluan's meaning, although Yuhai intended to achieve a good fate, he couldn't force it, so he asked Qingluan to personally reject Wang Suzhi. Xie Xuan went out to wait, and in the Yujia Mansion, Qingluan was waiting next to the flower stand, and when he saw Wang Suzhi coming, he blessed him with a blessing and said, "Little girl Qingluan, I have seen Gongzi." ”

Wang Suzhi hurriedly helped her up and said, "The girl doesn't have to be polite. ”

Qingluan got up and said, "Qingluan heard the meaning of the head of the family and heard the meaning of the son, and he was really frightened in his heart. Seeing that Wang Suzhi didn't speak, Qingluan continued, "Qingluan is a slave and maid, not worthy of the son, thank you for the son's kindness." ”

Wang Suzhi was a little puzzled, and hurriedly asked: "Are you willing to be a slave and a servant for the rest of your life?" ”

Qingluan replied: "Qingluan only wants to serve by the girl's side for the rest of her life." ”

Wang Su admired Qingluan's loyalty, so he said goodbye to Qingluan, and couldn't help but ask when he left: "Dare to ask Qingluan girl's master's name?" ”

Qingluan hesitated a little and replied, "Fish Song." When Wang Suzhi heard this, he said goodbye to Qingluan with a smile and returned to Yuhai, said goodbye to Yuhai with Xie Xuan, and rode back to Shanyin. Wang Suzhi was not sure if the third girl was the little sister of the fish. So Xie Xuan didn't mention it, and Wang Suzhi only put this matter in his heart.

Between 352 and 354, Yin Hao made several northern expeditions to enter Luoyang and repair the garden mausoleum, but he was repeatedly defeated, so that the military supplies were plundered, and the government and the opposition were resentful. In the first month of the tenth year of Yonghe (354), Huan Wen played the imperial court, listed Yin Hao's crimes, and forced the imperial court to depose Yin Hao as a concubine. Since then, the power inside and outside the court has been vested in Huan Wen.

After Xie Daoyun finished his birthday, Yuge wanted to say goodbye to everyone, only to learn that Huan Wen had launched a northern expedition. The two places are not far apart, but if it is not peaceful today, under the persuasion of everyone, Yuge stayed, wanting to wait for the end of the war to return to Luoyang.

In February of the tenth year of Yonghe, Jingzhou Town of the Eastern Jin Dynasty led Huan Wen to ride 40,000 people from Jiangling, from Xiangyang to Junkou by waterway, and then from Xichuan to Wuguan, and at the same time ordered Liangzhou to assassinate Sima Xun soldiers out of the meridian road.

Former Qin Emperor Fu Jian faced the northern expedition of the Huan Wen army and sent the crown prince Fu Chang, the prime minister Fu Xiong and others to lead 50,000 troops to garrison Tun Yaoliu to resist.

On the day of April Jihai, Huan Wen fought with Fu Chang and other troops in Lantian County, although Fu Sheng rode alone to kill and wound many Jin soldiers, but the Jin soldiers still defeated the Qin soldiers under the command of Huan Wen; At the same time, Huan Chong defeated Fu Xiong's army in Bailuyuan. After Huan Wen defeated the former Qin army, he continued to march towards Chang'an and entered Bashang. At that time, Fu Chang and other troops retreated to the south of Tuncheng, Fu Jian sent 30,000 elite soldiers, and joined Fu Chang under the leadership of Da Sima Lei and others, leaving only 6,000 old and weak soldiers to stay in the small city of Chang'an.

After several bloody battles, he captured the former Qin general Guo Jing, repelled the Huainan king Fu Sheng, and defeated Fu Jian. Huan Wen marched into Guanzhong and stationed in Bashang, and the fathers and elders of Guanzhong competed to welcome labor with cow wine, and men and women gathered on the road. The nearby counties have been demoted, and Huan Wen comforted the people and made them live and resume their businesses. The people of Guanzhong greeted them along the road with cattle and wine, and many old people cried bitterly: "I didn't expect to see the officers and soldiers again in my lifetime!"

"Fu Chang and other Qin troops retreated to the south of Chang'an City, and the former Qin Emperor Fu Jian led 6,000 soldiers to defend the inner city." The children of the Xie family said this at home, Yuge heard the news, his heart was full of uneasiness, he rode out of Shanyin City, and encountered the homeless people on the road, but fortunately Xie Xuan and Wang Suzhi rescued him to save his life, so he had to go back to Shanyin with Xie Xuan.

Just as the three of them were on their way back, on Funiu Mountain, between the Qinling Mountains, there was an unkempt man, wearing a short linen coat and swaying his feet, singing all the way down the mountain, until the Huanwen camp asked to see.

The man came to the camp and shouted: "I have the talent of the world, I want to see the general of Jingzhou!" ”

When they heard the shouting, they hurried out to see, and when they saw this unkempt man, whose feet were covered with mud, he looked down for lice on his robe while shouting, and thought he was crazy, so they drove him out. The man ignored the soldiers of the congregation, and only continued to chant outside the camp: "I have the talent of the world, and I ask to see the general of Jingzhou Town, Huan Wen!" ”

Huan Wen heard the news in the inner camp, groaned slightly, and asked people to invite him in.

When the soldiers heard the news that Huan Wen had met Han Shi, they ran to the camp of Huan Wen with their own hearts, and as soon as they sat down, they saw Huan Wen sitting on the main seat, courtesy to the man who looked like a madman.

The man ignored the eyes around him, and only sat in his seat, picking his feet and lifting his robe to rummage for lice in between. After Huan Wen asked the man's name, he said, "I wonder what the current situation is in my husband's opinion?" ”

Wang Meng, who was called Mr. by Huan Wen, was in front of the public, while he was talking about lice and the world's major affairs, talking endlessly, as if there was no one around.

Seeing this scene, Huan Wen was secretly surprised in his heart, and blurted out: "I was ordered by the Son of Heaven to lead 100,000 elite soldiers to crusade against the rebels and eliminate harm for the people, but no one from Guanzhong Haojie came to my camp to serve, according to Mr., what is the reason for this?" ”

Wang Meng was blunt and replied: "The general is not far away and goes deep into the Kou realm, Chang'an City is close at hand, and he does not cross the Bashui to capture Chang'an, and the heroic people in Guanzhong do not understand the general's intentions, so they dare not come." ”

What Huan Wen wanted in his heart was nothing more than to restore Guanzhong by himself, and he could only get a false name, but the territory would fall to the imperial court; Rather than consuming strength, losing the advantage of competing with the imperial court, and making wedding clothes for others, it is better to keep the enemy and respect yourself.

And Wang Meng's words in front of him implied a mechanism, touching his heart disease. Huan Wen was silent for a long time, speechless. In my heart, I felt more and more that the lice in front of me was extraordinary.

After a while, Huan Wen raised his head and said slowly: "In the land of Jiangdong, I am afraid that no one can match the talent of Mr. ”

After speaking, Wang Meng was left in the army to serve and worshiped as Shangqing.

When the matter spread to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Wang Meng's talk about lice was a joke for a while, and some people called it a beautiful thing. Yu Ge was recuperating from his injuries in the Xie family's mansion, and when he heard the jokes of the princes, he asked, "What is the name of this strange person in Guanzhong that you are talking about?" ”

Xie Xuan replied: "It seems to be called Wang Meng, and the words are omitted." ”

When Yuge heard the word "Wang Meng", he was shocked. The person who was not found back then actually came down the mountain and entered the world, and I don't know if I can see this person. In his heart, he calculated that Wang Meng had entered the Huanwen camp, and if he wanted to see him, he would have to live in the Eastern Jin Dynasty for a long time. And in Qindi, the Fu family is now in the midst of fire and water. Should she stay in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and finally rely on Xie Xuan and others to meet Wang Meng, or should she go back to Qianqin and return to Fu Jian, Fu Chang and others. Swaying from side to side, it seems to be even more preoccupied.

Just when the courtiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty thought that Huan Wen was bound to win the former Qin world, the military situation turned sharply, and in the Jin military camp, Huan Wen originally planned to raise military rations on the spot after the wheat was ripe. When the Qin army got the news, it was expected that there would be no grain and grass in the Huanwen camp, so they cut all the wheat seedlings and cleared the fields. Huan Wen saw that there was a lack of food in the army, and the soldiers had no fighting spirit, so he had to retreat in a hurry.

Before Huan Wen left, he gave Wang Menghua a good horse, and also granted a high-ranking official title to protect him, and asked Wang Meng to go south together. Wang Meng knew that the Lishi clan in the Eastern Jin Dynasty was entrenched, and it was difficult for him to make a difference; And he threw himself into the Huan Wen camp, he wanted to help the world with his own strength, and get along for a long time, Huan Wen's intention to plot the world is clear, if he follows Huan Wen, it is equivalent to helping him usurp the Jin, and it is bound to tarnish his name.

Wang Meng returned to Huashan to ask for advice from the teacher who had moved here, and the teacher also expressed his opposition to his southward movement. So, Wang Meng continued to study in seclusion.
