Chapter 1 Plain Gauze Shirt 1
It is a cold winter season, and most of the farmers are already living at home, preparing for the New Year's festival, and no one will think of going out because it is too cold. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
But in such a season, a carriage still galloped along the narrow path, leaving thin horseshoe prints on the shallow snow, and the clatter of clatters ran into the distance, leaving an empty echo in the silent valley path.
The Zhuang family was awakened by the crisp sound of horses' hooves, and they opened the curtain to look out, only to see the carriage speeding on the road flashed, and what was left in the minds of the villagers was only the badge of the python on the carriage, which was the logo of the Xie family in the Western Jin Dynasty.
The carriage was speeding down the road, and near the city gate, the coachman shouted:
"The ladies of General Xie's mansion, open the city gate quickly!"
Squeak......
The heavy gates were opened, and the carriages rushed into the city under the cover of night, with a coldness that no one could tell.
I heard a bang, as if I had hit something, the carriage stopped suddenly, and the people in the carriage lifted the curtains and asked curiously:
"What's wrong?"
What a beautiful face it is, although it is only the appearance of a young child, it is enough to clearly show her stunning beauty in the future. She is the daughter of General Xie Shui - Xin Chai. The famous General Xie Ji in the Western Jin Dynasty was obviously a rough man, but he had such a delicate daughter.
General Xie picked up the noble daughter, I heard that when this daughter was born, a hundred birds were facing the phoenix, and a shocking colorful phoenix surrounded the Xie Mansion for three days before leaving, and the people who watched it at that time talked about the fact that this woman must be the fate of the phoenix.
General Xie deeply understands the truth of "the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty", and he sealed his mouth immediately after the phoenix left, and only a few people in the territory of Hunan knew this allusion.
However, this woman is extraordinary, and the Taoist priest at that time once gave a criticism, "Born with a strange fate, it breaks the hearts of all men, and makes all men strangle." β
Xin Chai was only four years old, but he had already highlighted his extraordinary intelligence, and at that time he had a song of seven uniques:
"Last night's wind and frost and the grass turned yellow,
The white clouds don't live in the blue sky.
Leave a group of wild geese returning to the south,
Do you know that the distance is a foreign land. β
amazed everyone, worthy of the reputation of a talented woman, and her father Xie Xian heard her say when Xin Chai was five years old:
"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat, if you want to win the world, you must be tolerant, but also decisive!"
Although the words were naΓ―ve, it was really extraordinary to be able to hear this from the mouth of a five-year-old girl, and Xie Zhu happily hugged Xin Chai and cheered loudly:
"A good man in the Western Jin Dynasty, it's better for me to pick up a girl."
Later, in order to avoid suspicion, Xie picked up and returned to the field to take his daughter to live in the countryside, and then met the future Jiangxia King, and the two families set an in-law, and every other year Xin Chai wanted to live in the Jiangxia palace for a period of time, so as to cultivate a relationship with the future husband.
Today is the day when Xin Chai arrived at Jiangxia Palace, and the people of Jiangxia Mansion have been waiting for a long time, but they didn't expect this situation to happen halfway.
The coachman heard Xin Chai in the carriage and hurriedly ran forward to pray:
"Miss Xin Chai, there's a boy lying in front of you."
"Oh?"
Xin Chai lowered the curtain, walked out of the carriage under the help of the maid, and came to the young man, the young man had handsome eyebrows and a natural resolute aura, but unfortunately the dirt on his face folded this aura by eight points, and the remaining two points were also unrecognizable in this dim light.
The boy was lying on the street in tattered clothes in this cold winter, I don't know if he was in a coma or asleep, anyway, now I don't know who is going to know.
Xin Chai slowly approached him, and then squatted down, just at the moment when she was about to get close to him, the young man suddenly opened his eyes, stretched out his hand and grabbed Xin Chai's neck, the soldier behind Xin Chai quickly suppressed the young man, Xin Chai waved his hand silently, let the soldier retreat, and then walked slowly in front of the young man, looking indifferent not like a child:
"Capture the thief and capture the king first! Not bad. β
"What do you want, just command!"
The young man replied stubbornly, only to see Xin Chai smiling, regardless of the dissuasion of others, squatting in front of the young man:
"You see that I am dressed in wealth, I must be the daughter of a big family, even if I am not a lady of the official family, I must be a delicate girl of a rich family, this cold winter wax moon, you are helpless, you want to lie in front of my car in order to hold me hostage, ask for a piece of silver, or can you blackmail a settlement fee?"
Without waiting for the young man to answer, Xin Chai continued to ask:
"What's your name?"
The young man's resolute eyes were staring at Xin Chai, and he wanted to stubbornly not tell her, but when he saw Xin Chai's gaze, he hesitated, because it was not the gaze that a girl should have, strong, majestic and experienced the vicissitudes of the world, such a look made people think that this child had lived for thousands of years, and he opened his mouth:
"Han Shin."
"You're Han Shin?"
It seemed that she was surprised by this answer, as if she had heard an unspeakable secret, Han Xin replied suspiciously:
"What, you know me?"
"Huh."
Xin Chai chuckled:
"I don't know it, but I didn't expect you to be like this."
Without waiting for the young man to ask again, he just turned to the maid beside him and said:
"Lan'er, go and bring the clothes I made for the prince of Jiangxia in my car, and I'm bringing a bag of silver money out."
The maid Lan'er did as she said, only to see Xin Chai hand over all the clothes and money to Han Xin, and said with a smile:
"For you."
After saying that, he turned around and left, Han Xin froze in place, looking at the carriage and walking away before slowly relieving himself, at this time he still couldn't believe the belongings in his hand, as if everything just now was a dream. That was the first meeting.
In the carriage of the long journey, the maid Lan'er asked Xin Chai, puzzled:
"Miss, why do you pity that disciple?"
Xin Chai looked at the booklet in his hand intently, and replied casually:
"In the future, you will understand, this person is a confidant in life and death, and two women in life and death."
"Ah, when will Miss give people orders?"
Lan Er laughed and joked about Xin Chai.
Xin Chai smiled lightly and said nothing, and he couldn't read the book when he was disturbed by Lan'er, so he had to put down the book and close his eyes to recuperate:
"Han Xin, I didn't expect you, the general who was known as the god of soldiers and soldiers in later generations, to meet me so downward. But will you really rebel like this, or will something change because of my coming? It doesn't matter, we'll see you again......"
Ten years have passed like this, and such a long time is enough to change many people and things, but the only thing that has not changed is that Xin Chai has been collecting every bit of information about Han Xin in the past ten years, and he has not let go of every detail.
The Han Xin who was overstretched among the people, the Han Xin who followed Xiang Liang's unveiling of the pole, and the Han Xin who defected to Xiang Yu's army to pray for a show of ambition, of course, she was about to meet the Han Xin who attacked Jiangxia and made the entire Jiangxia Mansion commit suicide.
Xin Chai put down the news in his hand, and smiled silently for ten years, the sixteen-year-old Xin Chai has long grown from an immature girl to a beautiful and amorous Hunan girl, today is the day she marries into the Jiangxia Palace, and of course it is also the day when the Jiangxia Mansion is destroyed.
Xin Chai, like all brides, was shy, wearing a red wedding dress and sitting in a sedan chair from Jiangxia Palace, ready to marry into the palace.
In 202 BC, Jiangxia was lively, and everyone knew that today, the prince of Jiangxia married his wife, and he went to the beautiful Xiangjiang who had long been famous, Xin Chai.
The street was full of jubilation, and the fiery red silk cloth covered all the shops in the street, in order to express the joy of the Jiangxia Palace. The prince of Jiangxia is still waiting for his beautiful bride in the palace expectantly, the female doll who has grown up with him since childhood, the quirky little girl. But what he didn't know was that danger also came with his girl.
As soon as the sedan chair entered the palace, the sound of trumpets and war drums was heard outside the city, and the wounded soldiers came running one by one to pray:
"Han Xin came to surround it with an army of millions!"
King Jiangxia is cowardly by nature, just a scholar who has no power to restrain chickens, how can he hear this news when the banquet hall is in chaos, King Jiangxia is at a loss, and later King Jiangxia would rather die than surrender, and stubbornly guard the integrity of a sour Confucian scholar and commit suicide with his whole family, martyrdom.
Xin Chai watched the wedding banquet turn into a funeral banquet in an instant, this was the ending she had already expected, she was not afraid, she resolutely lifted her red hijab, and the hijab embroidered with mandarin ducks fell to the ground, stained with the blood of Jiangxia Wangfu and became more bright red......
Xin Chai resolutely came to the city gate in a red wedding dress, opened the city gate under the gaze of millions of people in Jiangxia, and proudly walked in front of Han Xin, the invincible general of the Han army, and questioned him as if he asked his name ten years ago:
"Why do you want a woman to die on the day she first marries?"
Han Xin faced the questioning of this beautiful woman, and he had the same feeling as when he faced the little girl who questioned his name ten years ago, and suddenly he was speechless, and his mouth that repeatedly opened and closed finally confided words:
"I'm Han Shin."
"I know."
Xin Chai replied indifferently, and suddenly looked at each other in pairs, both of them laughed out loud unconsciously, the sound was earth-shattering, according to the soldiers who had followed Han Xin in this battle later recalled that they had never seen General Han Xin laugh like this, relieved, grateful and excited......
Of course, I haven't seen that woman laugh like Xin Chai, it should have been a very vulgar picture, but in that woman, you can only see boldness and straightforwardness, but it is such a fit with that woman, it is really a woman who does not let her eyebrows.
Later, Han Xin attacked the city and did not slaughter a single soldier, and later generations recorded that it was because of the sacrifice of Jiangxia Palace, but everyone at that time knew that it was actually because of the appearance of Xin Chai.
After Han Xin attacked the city, he directly took Xin Chai into the Jiangxia Palace, and in the backyard of the Jiangxia Palace, Han Xin ordered someone to bring two jars of wine, and said to Xin Chai with a smile:
"Can you drink it?"
Although it was a question, it was an affirmative tone, and Xin Chai unceremoniously moved a jar of wine:
"Do you want to try it?"
That day, Han Xin and Xin Chai were drunk in the backyard, and when they were carried back to the side room, they muttered to themselves:
"Why did you get married here?"
"I've been looking for you for a long time."
"Haha, you are really a hero among women, I, Han Xin, am ashamed of myself, come and drink!"
This drunken remark was spread outside the house, and people said that Han Xin came to attack the city because of Xin Chai, because Han Xin admired Xin Chai's beauty and was unwilling to marry her.
