CHAPTER XIX
Weng Bo has one of the sayings: Riding the wind and waves, no one is idle, all in the Jianghuai River and Han; Thousands of miles of dragon victory flag, tracing back to the Spring and Autumn Qin and Han dynasties; Connecting the east, west, north, south and middle, the king has no worries about the people; Who died in Sui for this, the Central Plains River transported thousands of miles of sails. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Weng Bo has two words: hunger and cold are forced to suffer disasters, and the road is cut down and violent Daze Township; The new emperor prides himself on being the Duke of Zhou, and Kuang Feng is born in the new city of the green forest; The sky is dead in the yellow sky, when will the yellow turban be afraid of the strong; Sun Enlu followed the battle gate valve, and the six towns of Zhengguang produced the true king; Emperor Yang of Sui in vain Xingshi, Wagang left a prestige in eight years; After the dry charm is neutralized, Xianzhi is invincible and has the Yellow King; Men and women weave the destiny of heaven, and there are sheep in all directions; If on the side of the tyrannical king, the angry crown is also a wolf.
Weng Bo has a saying of the third: the Later Zhou Shizong is not good-looking, heroic and open-minded, resolute and faithful; Although it can't pass through heaven and earth, it is also a dragon and phoenix among people; Bow in the township, chase the deer in the Central Plains; The name is contemporary, the foundation of the Song Dynasty is laid, and the merit is in the later generations.
Let's say that a bench is smashing at Di Fan, Di Fan is on one side, and the bench is smashed on the partition between the back kitchen and the front hall, and the partition has already smashed out a big hole. When Di Fan looked up, he saw: more than five feet tall, forty-one and twelve years old, his head wrapped in a red scarf, his face was quite dark, he had a big mustache on his upper lip, a series of mustaches on his chin, his eyes narrowed into a slit, straight and spinning, wearing slightly old armor, lined with coarse cloth clothes, and wearing black boots on his feet. This person's surname is Ding, his name is Jie, his name is Changsheng, and he is the first thousand commanders of Tianmawei. Ding Jie was followed by more than a dozen people dressed in official clothes, who were coming with great momentum. As soon as Ding Jie and his party walked into Dongsheng's shop, they smashed the bench into it. The guests in the store had already fled the way, only the three martial arts people were still eating, and Di Fan also sat down at the table next to him. As soon as Ding Jie stood firm, he patted his clothes, shook his armor, and jumped with his feet again. A thick cloud of dust was lifted from him, and the front hall was dusty with a gust of wind outside the door.
Wang Xiaojiu had already greeted him, accompanied by a smiling face, and said respectfully: "A few officials, what do you need?" ”
Ding Jie didn't answer, and kept blowing the dust on his body. One of his entourages named Shi Xiaoer stood in front, pushed Wang Xiaojiu, and shouted: "If there is anything delicious to eat, just come up, our Ding Ye still has to hurry." Wang Xiaojiu almost fell, hurriedly went to the back kitchen, and gave Di Fan a look again, signaling him not to interfere. Not long after, Wang Xiaojiu and Wang Xiaomei brought a table of good dishes. Shi Xiaoer continued: "Hurry up and get some broken silver, our master is on the road." ”
Wang Xiaomei said: "Give you good wine and good food, just eat and drink for nothing, and you have to entangle, how can there be such a truth in the world!" ”
Shi Xiaoer was not angry, and continued: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and get it, I don't have time to talk to you, otherwise even you will have to rush with us." As he spoke, Shi Xiaoer stretched out his right hand and went straight to Wang Xiaomei's face.
Ding Jie wanted to stop it, but Di Fan also stood up, and suddenly a person got up, picked up a wine glass, threw it at Shi Xiaoer's wrist, and said: "What a bastard villain, in broad daylight, cheating on food and drink, robbing money, and molesting the little girl, I will kill you." When Ding Jie and Di Fan looked back, they were tall, in their twenties, with hundreds of small ponytails, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a yellow complexion, a pair of turquoise earrings hanging from their ears, a light green satin, and a long sword. This person's surname is Ma, the name is Qian, the word Changhong, is the daughter of Ma Delong, the head of the big horse dart bureau, her life motto: willing to walk the rivers and lakes with her father, chivalrous and righteous. When she saw Ding Jie's dusty appearance, Ma Qian became angry, and wanted to teach them a lesson, but fortunately, the two people next to him stopped her. These two are Ma Xi and Ma Xian.
When Ding Jie and Di Fan looked at it again: Ma Qian was on the left, five feet three tall, twenty-six years old, wearing a crown of jade, purple and gold, black and bright hair, tightly knit brows, a fierce face, slightly tired, dressed in white satin, holding the scabbard tightly in his left hand, and having already drawn a big sword in his right hand. This person's surname is Ma, the name is Xi, the word is like the end, is the righteous son of Ma Delong, the first deputy chief dart head of the Dama Dart Bureau, his life motto: I am willing to walk with my little sister to fight for righteousness.
On the right side of Ma Qian was a man, more than five feet tall, twenty-five years old, with a white scarf on his head, black hair over his shoulders, a slightly thin face, and a full body of anger, dressed in blue and white satin, holding a sword in his left hand and pressing the table in his right hand. This person's surname is Ma, the name is first, the word is as usual, is Ma Delong's apprentice, the second deputy head of the big horse dart board, his life motto: one heart to go dart, may the big horse dart board be safe.
Shi Xiaoer's right hand hurt terribly, and he said sharply: "What a nosy little girl, brothers!" As soon as the words fell, Wang's father and daughter stepped aside and went to the back kitchen. More than a dozen official boys swarmed up, and in less than ten rounds, they were all knocked to the ground by Ma Qian, Ma Xi and Ma Xian. Ding Jie wanted to stop Shi Xiaoer, but when he saw that all the dozen or so brothers in his family were defeated, he had to pick up a big knife and rush towards the three members of the Ma family to fight. Ding Jie didn't want to fight with the three of them, but he only made a move because of his face, so he lost three percent without a fight, and he was one against three, and the three of the Ma family were taught by Ma Delong, so within fifty rounds, Ding Jie was knocked to the ground. Ma Xi did not let go, and stabbed Ding Jie in the heart with his sword. Seeing this, Di Fan immediately picked up a chopstick, threw it, saved Ding Jie, and said: "You have to spare people and spare people, although you are guilty, you will not be guilty to death, why do you kill them all." ”
Ma Xi said, "Who are you?" ”
Di Fan clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "Passers-by, people on the road." ”
Ma Xi did not put away the sword, and said: "If you dare to take care of our business, you must be with this gang of wicked people, look at the sword!" Ma Xi wanted to raise his sword and stab Di Fan, but Ma stopped first, and said something to Ma Xi's ear, and Ma Xi collected his sword. Ding Jie and the others wanted to take advantage of the gap, but Di Fan picked up another chopstick and threw it. The chopsticks passed through Ding Jie's black boots and fell vertically to the ground. Fortunately, the chopsticks only passed between Ding Jie's toes, and there was no injury. Ding Jie couldn't, stood still, and said: "If you want to kill, you will kill, and you will still be a good man after eighteen years." ”
Di Fan smiled: "I want to kill you, why save you." Dare to ask the military master's surname? ”
Ding Jie puffed up his chest, clenched his fists, and said, "In Xia Ding Jie, a thousand-commander of the Manichaean Heavenly Horse Guard. ”
Di Fan saw Ding Jie's righteous appearance, and said: "I heard that the two gentlemen of your sect, Wu Dong, have always advocated equality for all and do not plunder the people, but now that Wu Dong has become an immortal, you descendants are acting like this, don't you lose face?" It's time for them to kill you. ”
"The front is tight, we just want some light food, and there is no malice, and it is a small pebble to ask for money." Ding Jie retracted his body, a little unreasonable, pointed at Shi Xiaoer, and said.
Di Fan felt funny and said, "Not really, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked." As soon as you enter the door, you smash things, is it the husband's doing? Would he dare without your acquiescence? And do you want a light meal? Okay, even if it's a light meal, is it what the store should be? ”
Di Fan asked four times in a row, Ding Jie was speechless, knelt on the ground, and said: "If you have a young man's words, Ding Mou is fortunate to have three lives, and he will restrain his brothers in the future, and swear here that he will never do whatever he wants again." Today's events are our fault, and everything will be compensated according to the price. If something happens in this store in the future, my brothers should do our best to maintain it. Dare to ask the young man's name? ”
Di Fan had an idea and said, "I'm in the next fire." Ding Jie said goodbye, got up, put down the silver, and wanted to leave.
Di Fan said: "Come back, you have also paid for this table of food, and it is not too late to leave after eating." Although Ding Jie and his party were embarrassed, they were also hungry, so they sat down and ate a lot.
Ma Qian on the side saw it in her eyes, clapped her hands again and again, and said: "Huo Shaoxia is much smarter than us, my eldest brother was rude just now, and I hope Huo Shaoxia will forgive me." Ma Xi and Ma Xian were also busy apologizing, and Di Fan returned the gift. The four of them chatted for a while, and Ma Qian consciously fell in love with Di Fan, so he talked about the disaster of the dart game, and the three of them wanted to take refuge in the old city. Di Fan knew that they were survivors of the bloody case of the Dama Dart Bureau, and also knew that the three of them were either looking for Qian Wanguan or going to Dang Zaixing, so he asked, "What kind of dart did you deserve that time?" What a catastrophe has befallen you! The three of them looked at each other and said they didn't know. Di Fan was surprised, so he said: "Everything is up to anyone, please mourn the three of you." I believe that the murderer will definitely have retribution, and the truth of your dart game's bloody case will soon be revealed. The three of them thanked each other, left the Dongsheng shop, and went straight to the old city.
Di Fan turned around, and then looked at Ding Jie and his party, who had already eaten the wine and meat on the table. Di Fan approached and asked, "Brother Ding, shouldn't you Tianmawei be in Meicheng?" ”
Ding Jie put down the dishes and chopsticks and said seriously: "Who said it wasn't!" Huo Shaoxia didn't know that Meicheng was already under the couch of the imperial court, and it was difficult to defend it, but he came south to attack Fuzhou, I really don't know what our front protector thinks. ”
"It's very simple, your Dharma protector is trading your life. What's going on in Meicheng right now? ”
Ding Jie was puzzled and asked, "Meicheng is fine, relatively calm. But what does Huo Shaoxia mean by buying and selling? ”
"Isn't that obvious? Even you know that the important town of Meicheng is trapped in defense, and now you divide your troops and go south to approach Fuzhou. The city of Fuzhou is strong, there are more than 13,000 defenders, and there is a surplus of grain and grass, so it must be difficult to overcome, right? Ding Jie nodded, and said that there were only three or four hundred people left in his team of 1,000 people, and now he came out with ten centurions to explore the way. Di Fan continued: "I can't conquer it for a long time, and I am reluctant to give up, like chicken ribs, I can't eat enough, and it's a pity to throw it away." If the imperial court secretly ordered the nearby Anyuan Jiedu envoy and the Shannan Dongdao Jiedu envoy to march quickly from the east and west directions at this time, and encircle you under Fuzhou City, it is estimated that you will be wiped out. The army going south is gone, can Meicheng still be kept? Isn't this a chance for the imperial court to break through? ”
Ding Jie bowed, asked Yu Di Fan, and said: "Since Huo Shaoxia knows so much about the Battle of Fuzhou, how should we break the siege?" ”
"Don't panic, the current emperor is Liu Chengyou, he doesn't have the time, and he doesn't have the mind to pay attention to your little Fuzhou and Meicheng. However, you have to take precautions as soon as possible, otherwise when the court really comes to its senses, things will be difficult to say. Di Fan calmed down and said.
"Since Huo Shaoxia understands the general trend of the world so well, why don't you join my Divine Sect? In front of the Emperor Heart Venerable, I would like to make a history of the guard with my thousand-strong brothers! Ding Jie hurriedly knelt down and pleaded.
Di Fan saw that he was a loyal and righteous person, so he said: "My name is Di Fan, a native of the old city, and now I only have one or two years left to live, how can I be your chief of guard." I had something to hide before, and I still looked at Haihan. ”
As soon as Ding Jie heard that this Huo Fan was Di Fan, he looked at it again and hurriedly bowed again. Di Fan helped Ding Jie up, and the two sat down. Ding Jie knew that it was Di Fan who was sitting in front of him, and naturally knew that Yang Wulang, Xiao Liuzi and the Yu sisters were all people that Di Fan cared about, coupled with the previous notice of Meicheng Tianmawei, Ding Jie had a plan, and then said: "Huo Shao...... Di Shaoxia didn't know that Yang Wulang, Six Shaoxia and the Yu sisters were no longer in Meicheng. ”
Di Fan was taken aback and asked, "Where are they now?" ”
Ding Jie was secretly happy in his heart and said, "Not busy, not busy." Listen to me first. Di Fan knew that there was no such thing as a business in the world that didn't cost money, so he just waited for Ding Jie to finish speaking.
"Since the death of the two ancestors of Wu Dong, more than 80 leaders have been killed, the rebel army has failed, and the land of the three states and one prefecture that was originally owned has long been divided up by various separatist forces, and the establishment is also uneven, and the vitality is greatly damaged. After that, we mostly hid in the countryside. During the Great Jin Dynasty (Later Jin Dynasty), due to the turbulent situation, several leaders who remained gathered again, took advantage of the situation, and occupied Meicheng (between Anzhou and Fuzhou), large and small cities (between Yingzhou and Xiangzhou), Xiaotang Prefecture (between Dengzhou and Tangzhou), Ruding (between Ruzhou and Xuzhou), Wuliu (between Songzhou and Haozhou), Phoenix New City (between Haozhou and Yingzhou), Shihe (the Yang of Dabie Mountain) and Macheng (the Yin of Dabie Mountain) and other small cities, which can also be regarded as comforting the ancestors. ”
Di Fan said: "These are legends on the rivers and lakes, and I also know a rough idea. ”
"Di Shaoxia is not in a hurry." Ding Jie continued, "Because the revenge of the two ancestors has not been avenged, there is no sect leader, only the Emperor Heart Venerable and the four protectors temporarily act as the sect leader. ”
"Before, weren't your two sect masters still emperors, why don't you even have sect leaders now?"
"Herein lies the problem. Emperor Xin Venerable is called Zongzheng Baiquan, he is kind and loyal, and he is good at regulating the relationship between everyone. None of the four protectors obey anyone, so there is no leader. ”
"Is it okay to say that if you can't conquer Fuzhou smoothly this time, you will face the danger of going downhill again."
"What Di Shaoxia said is very true." Ding Jie was a little anxious and continued: "In our Divine Sect, with the Emperor Heart Venerable Zongzheng Baiquan, the front protector Wei Jiunu, the rear protector Zhong Dayou, the left protector Xi Jingzhi, and the right protector Qiu Chaozhen as the main backbone, one of the five people's territory, fire, water, gold and wood, the four protectors are also called the four messengers, in order are the Vermilion Bird Messenger, the Xuanwu Messenger, the Green Dragon Envoy and the White Tiger Messenger, each protector has four guard historians, and each guard has four thousand commanders. I am a centurion, and my father is one of the eighty leaders who martyred for the ancestor of the Sect, so I became a thousand-commander, and I belong to the first thousand-division commander of the Divine Cult Fire Department. Di Fan thought to himself: It turned out to be Shu Xinzi's subordinate, it seems that this time he has to go through this trouble again.
"Nowadays, the people in the sect who are above the history of Wei Chang are sitting on empty mountains and have no ambitions, and they only know how to fish in the church, but they don't know how to cast nets outside the church. This time they attacked Fuzhou, and they thought that they had gained insight and could revive the Divine Cult, and they could also win the championship before the war. I am the commander of the 1,000th commander, and whoever wants to attack for the first time, I will lose two troops, and for ten days in a row, there will be three or four hundred men left in my group. Listening to Di Shaoxia say this, it seems that there is still more than luck. ”
Di Fan thought to himself: Alas, but a martial artist, he didn't want to waste time, so he interrupted Ding Jie's words and said, "Dare to ask where my brother is now?" ”
Ding Jie felt that Di Fan was a little impatient, and said: "Two conditions, Di Shaoxia joins my Divine Sect, and then there is to help relieve our siege of Fuzhou, I will tell you." ”
Di Fan couldn't cry and laughed, and said, "If I join your sect, I think someone will tell me, right?" Or maybe you don't have to save it. ”
Ding Jie also felt that it was impossible for Di Fan to join Manichaeism, so he said: "Then ask Di Shaoxia to think of a way to help us get out of here." ”
"You tell me first, the situation in your army."
"Our attack on Fuzhou this time is the order of the Suzaku envoy of the Ministry of Fire, with Tianmawei as the main and Tianlongwei as the deputy, a total of 12,000 people."
"Why isn't it the practice of the Golden Ministry?" It turned out that in Manichaeism, only the Jinbu Xi Jingzhi knew the military affairs, known as the prestige, known as the victorious general, and the Later Han Dynasty court had already issued a holy decree, willing to give a heavy reward to his head. Therefore, Di Fan has this question.
Ding Jie sighed and said, "Alas, when I have time in the future, I will talk to Di Shaoxia about this matter in detail." Now for now, please come up with an idea. Di Fan said this and this in Ding Jie's ear.
Ding Jie touched his beard, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Is this method feasible?" ”
Di Fan said: "In the siege of the city, the army is at the end of the crossbow. Naturally, there are times when there is a shortage of food in the army, and the enemy army should also know about it. Besides, if you lose your troops, you will retreat, and they will surely understand. With this method, we will definitely be able to get the land of recovery. However, it is important to remember that Fuzhou can be gained and lost, and it must not be left for a long time. You tell Shu Xinzi that I said this, and she will definitely listen to it. ”
Ding Jie responded and asked, "Do you know the history of Tianmawei's guard?" ”
"With a little friendship, dare to ask my brother where they are now?"
"At our main altar."
"Where's the altar?"
Ding Jie wiped his eyebrows and said, "The main altar is secret, and I can't tell Di Shaoxia for the time being, but with me, I guarantee that your brothers don't have to worry about their lives." ”
Di Fan didn't know what to say as if he had eaten a closed door, so he only said: "It's not too early, Brother Ding is going to resume his life, the soldiers are fast, and if you miss the hour, I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed." Ding Jie said goodbye with a smile and went straight to Fuzhou. Di Fan sat down, a little depressed.
After a while, Wang Xiaojiu and Wang Xiaomei understood that the front hall was silent, so they came out of the back kitchen. Di Fan came to his senses and asked Wang Xiaojiu to collect the money. Wang Xiaojiu accepted the money and didn't say much, only cleaned up the front hall with his daughter Wang Xiaomei, Di Fan went to the back kitchen to prepare lunch meals, and dinner was as usual.
After the unitary hour, the Dongsheng small shop was basically empty of customers, and the store was cleaned. In the front hall, Di Fan and Wang Xiaojiu were chatting, Wang Xiaomei and Wang Dazhu were playing, and their laughter often echoed in the house.
Suddenly, someone outside the house shouted, "Brother Di, are you here?" ”
