"Is Ma Yi there?" A deep voice suddenly sounded behind Deng Xiang, and a man with a yellow beard, deep eye sockets, and a high nose appeared behind Deng Xiang and met Sima Yi's eyes.

Sima Yi said: "I am Ma Yi." ”

The man said: "I am Dian Wu, the captain of the Wuwei Colonel under the command of General Huwei, and I am here to invite Ma to go." ”

Sima Yi asked, "Is there anything important?" ”

"I don't know, please come with me." Dian Wu's face was iron-blue, and his face was hideous, which made people look intimidating, and then added, "Now! ”

Deng Xiang looked at Sima Yi and asked, "What did you do, the general actually came to you in person?" ”

"It's okay, you cook well, and it won't be long before you get promoted."

After saying this, Sima Yi left and said to Dian Wu: "Lord Captain, lead the way." ”

Dian Wu left the military camp with Sima Yi, rode to the city, and came to the county government in Xiangnan City.

As soon as Sima Yi entered the door, he saw an extremely familiar person, that person was dressed in civilian clothes, and Zhao Yun, the general of Huwei, was standing beside him, it was Emperor Lin Nan.

"Knock on the emperor, long live long live long live." As soon as Sima Yi entered the door, he knelt on the ground and bowed.

"Flat! Zhongda, pack your bags and come with me. Lin Nandao.

"Where are you going?" Sima Yi was surprised by Lin Nan's sudden words, so he asked.

"Go to places you haven't been, don't you want to go out and see the outside world? I'm here from Jicheng this time just to take you outside. Lin Nan was wearing a strong suit, with a burden on his shoulders, and he looked like an ordinary passerby.

Sima Yi had long been tired of staying in the barracks, because he was a gang leader and had not learned any skills. It is equivalent to wasting time here for half a year. However, burning a fire is not something that ordinary people can do, and it takes a physical body to do it, and the biggest advantage of him here is to exercise his body.

"Okay, I'll go pack my things." Sima Yi replied without hesitation, he faintly felt. This time, Lin Nan's summons must have a very special intention, and he has deep expectations for him.

Zhao Yun saw Sima Yi running out quickly, and asked suspiciously, "Your Majesty, has it really been decided?" ”

"Hmm."

"The minister should go with the emperor, and protect the emperor's safety on the way......"

"Luoyang is a military town, at present, Shisun Rui is supervising the construction of Luoyang City, once Luoyang City is built, I will move the capital of Huaxia to Luoyang. I hope to make up for the mistakes I have done in the past, so that the people in Luoyang can return to Luoyang. You guard Luoyang, it is very important, there is Xu Huang in the west, Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong in the south, Zhang He and Zang Ba in the east, Han Meng in the north, Luoyang is in the middle, and your role is very great. No matter which side fights together, once it is tight. You can lead the soldiers of Luoyang to support and save the Quartet, so Luoyang can't do without you. ”

Zhao Yun also knew the importance of Lin Nan's arrangement, but when he thought that Lin Nan was going to take risks alone, he was inevitably worried. He doesn't. What Lin Nan decided, he couldn't change, and even if Jia Xu didn't dissuade him, he couldn't do it.

"Your Majesty, Dian Wu is a Qiang person. He also knows the western soil well, although the minister can't follow the emperor, it's always okay to let Dian Wu accompany him, right? At this time, Guanzhong and Liangzhou were no longer as good as when the emperor served as the Marquis of Chen Cang. Zhao Yun glanced at Dian Wu and hurriedly recommended.

Dian Wu was also very eye-catching, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, although the last general does not have the martial arts of a great general, he is also one of the best warriors in Xiqiang, and the last general is willing to swear to protect the emperor." ”

"It is precisely because you are one of the best warriors that I can't take you there, and as soon as you show up, the Qiang people will recognize you. Moreover, the news of your surrender to our army has already spread, and if you go, aren't you accusing others that we are spies? I appreciate your kindness, but ...... My strength is not weak, and ordinary people do not want to come near me. It has been more than half a year since Cao Cao took refuge in the Qin State, and in this more than half a year, what the Qin State will become, I must personally verify it. No one would have thought that the emperor of Huaxia would quietly leave the country and go deep into the enemy territory...... Hahaha......"

Lin Nan laughed to himself, he had been worried about Cao Cao's affairs, this is a hero, he will definitely not be willing to live under the people and take refuge in the Qin State, it is nothing more than to have a stepping stone and then restore the country. Compared with Ma Chao, Lin Nan is more willing to let Ma Chao be his opponent, because Ma Chao is easy to deal with, while Cao Cao is difficult to deal with, once Cao Cao replaces Ma Teng, Ma Chao and his son, and occupies Liangzhou and Guanzhong, I am afraid that Heshuo will not be peaceful from now on.

At this time, Sima Yi walked straight in with a small burden on his back, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, I'm ready, when will I leave?" ”

"Let's go now."

Sima Yi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to tell you, there is a person named Deng Xiang in the gang head army, this person has good martial arts, but no one has discovered his talent, I want to ask the emperor to take a look at Deng Xiang, don't let him be in the gang head army, that is really condescending." ”

Lin Nan smiled, turned his head to Zhao Yun and said: "Zilong, you go and meet this person named Deng Xiang, if you really have the ability, you can't let him stay talented all the time, see if you can do it for a military attaché." ”

Zhao Yun nodded, hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will definitely handle this matter." ”

Lin Nan turned around and took Sima Yi's hand and walked out of the big tent, leaving without looking back, and when he arrived outside the big tent, he brought the horses that had been prepared long ago, and after riding the war horse, he headed west.

Although Sima Yi is young, his riding skills are okay, and he has known Lou Ban for so long, if he can't even ride a horse, he is not Sima Yi.

It's just that Sima Yi was a little puzzled, where Lin Nan was going to take him and where he was going.

So, he couldn't help it and asked, "Your Majesty, where are we going?" ”

"Go to the Qin Kingdom!" Lin Nan replied without moving.

"Go to the Qin Kingdom? What to do in Qin? ”

"There is a very important thing to do, take you, and by the way, let you see the things outside. I've heard all about you, and I really can't learn anything by being a gang leader in the barracks, so I decided. Teach you something in person and let you know how strange this world is. ”

"Your Majesty, what do you mean...... Take me as an apprentice? ”

"You were originally the champion of liberal arts, I deliberately removed you, the champion is the protégé of the Son of Heaven, you are naturally my apprentice. But. I'm going to teach you something you haven't seen before at Juxiankan. ”

"Great, the emperor has taken me as an apprentice!" Sima Yi exclaimed excitedly.

Lin Nan saw Sima Yi's happy appearance and felt that this child must be cultivated well. Genius, there are times when it becomes scrap.

If the jade is not cut, it will not be made.

Lin Nan wants to carve Sima Yi's beautiful jade into a national weapon, and may inherit his will in the future and assist his son. Let the country of China prosper.

"Zhongda, from today onwards, don't call me the emperor anymore, and the word Lin Nan must not be mentioned."

"Master...... I'll call you Master. Sima Yi nodded and said very clearly.

"Well, okay, let's call Master."

The two of them galloped all the way west. All the county towns passed through were not entered, when passing through Hongnong City. Except for going in and buying some necessary things for survival in the wild, it did not alarm the government or the army. Because, Lin Nan's trip this time was a secret trip, arriving in Luoyang from Jicheng. No more than thirteen people knew before and after. Although the Huaxia State is becoming more and more stable, although the work is busy at this time, due to the use of the system of three provinces and six ministries, the efficiency of officials has been thoroughly improved, so there are few major events under normal circumstances. Even if there is, it will be reported to the Senate, the Privy Council or the Nine Books of Shangshu, and Lin Nan will not be good at internal affairs, so he will simply leave it to those who are good at it.

Those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people, this sentence is fully embodied in Lin Nan's body. You don't have to bow down to the people, just leave it to the people below to do it, besides, Lin Nan's subordinates are full of talents, and everyone is an elite who is in charge of their own affairs, so that the elites gather together and deal with government affairs, which will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.

Zhuge Liang must bow down to everything, and in the end, he ended up overworked, vomiting blood and dying, so Lin Nan would not learn from Zhuge Liang. In the past, when there was no one under his hands, he was on almost everything, but now that there are people, he naturally puts some things to the people under his hands to do, and he is at ease.

Soon, Lin Nan took Sima Yi after several years of travel, and came to the westernmost part of Hongnong's Mansion - Taolin Pass.

Taolin Pass is a newly built pass, after Xu Huang took Hongnong, due to the lack of troops, did not dare to move lightly, all the troops were moved to Huxian, and the pass was built here, echoing with Tongguan from afar.

After the Qin State lost Hongnong, the Tongguan guards had sent troops to fight for it several times, but they were all repelled by Xu Huang with a suspicious strategy, and after several successive defeats, the Qin army was no longer light, guarding the pass tightly, and not communicating with the outside world.

In Taolin Pass, Xu Huang, the general of the right chariot cavalry of Huaxia State, was inspecting the pass, and suddenly a personal soldier came to report, saying that an old man had visited.

Xu Huang then returned to his residence after the normal inspection of the pass, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Lin Nan sitting on a chair, and his face was full of dust, and he was immediately taken aback, and hurriedly bowed: "Minister Xu Huang ......"

"Gongming, come here, I have something to tell you." Lin Nan immediately interrupted Xu Huang's words, for fear that Xu Huang would reveal his identity.

Although Lin Nan is the emperor of Huaxia Kingdom, how many people have really seen Lin Nan himself? When Lin Nan was wearing mighty armor and standing in front of all the soldiers, at that moment, all the soldiers saw was a person wearing armor, and no one was very impressed as to what he looked like.

If you don't believe it, just find a soldier wearing Lin Nan's armor and stand on the point platform, and those soldiers will still chant long live. Therefore, sometimes, in ancient times, the enemy soldiers often only knew the armor, but did not know the person wearing the armor, and there were often some substitutes for the dead.

Xu Huang saw that Lin Nan interrupted his words, and shook his head, so he realized that he hurriedly retreated, and then bowed to Lin Nan: "Your Majesty has arrived, and the minister has lost his welcome, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins!" ”

"Get up, I didn't intend to inform you. However, if you want to get out, you have to go through you, and you have to come here. ”

"Out of customs? Is 陛xià going to be out of customs? Xu Huang asked in surprise.

"Well, get out of the customs and go to the Qin State."

Xu Huang was even more surprised, the dignified king of a country, the emperor is not good. I actually want to run to a hostile country, which one is this going to perform!

"Your Majesty Xià went to the Qin State...... Forgive the minister and dare to ask His Majesty what he was doing in the Qin State? If there is anything, His Majesty will do it with all his might, despite his command. Xu Huang hugged his fists.

"But there are some things that I have to do myself. You've been stationed here for more than half a year. Let me ask you, how are the Tongguan guards? ”

"The guards are strict, and the entry and exit of pedestrians are strictly controlled, and for most of the past half a year, the minister has never seen a single figure coming from Tongguan."

Lin Nan frowned, and said to himself: "It seems that you have to find another way to enter the territory of the Qin State before you can ......"

Xu Huang has been stationed here for a long time, and he is from Hedong, when he was under Dong Zhuo's account. Ordered to encircle and suppress the White Wave Thieves, he was more familiar with Hedong, Zuo Fengyi, Hongnong, and Jingzhaoyin, and when he saw Lin Nan frowning, he asked, "Is Your Majesty really going to Qin?" ”

Lin Nan nodded and said: "Cao Cao has taken refuge in the Qin State, this is an extremely dangerous figure, I am worried that Cao Cao will turn against the guest and continue for a long time." It will inevitably subvert the Qin State and drive out Ma Teng and Ma Chao to replace them. ”

Xu Huang said in disbelief: "Qin and Liang are the birthplaces of Ma Teng's father and son. Its power is deep-rooted, Cao Cao came from the Kanto, how could he subvert Ma Teng's father and son? ”

Lin Nan smiled and said: "Although Qin and Liang are the hometowns of Ma Teng and Ma Chao, it has only been a few years since Ma Teng and Ma Chao took Qin and Liang, don't forget it." Ma Tengke rose to prominence because he killed Dong Zhuo and incorporated his subordinates. In the Qin and Liang areas, the people are martial arts, and the private fights are not stopped, and the people of Liangzhou are even more brave and ruthless, and Ma Teng and Ma Chao rely on them. is nothing more than the Qiang people, and the people in Guanzhong are all Han Chinese, and they may not all support Ma Teng and Ma Chao. What's more, Ma Teng is to blame for the death of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, although he pointed the finger at me, but this is undoubtedly a thief shouting to catch a thief. Cao Cao is known as the traitor of the troubled times, not in vain, and he was able to escape to the Qin State in the midst of the encirclement and interception of our army, which is enough to show his resourcefulness. ”

"In this way, wouldn't it be very dangerous for His Majesty to go to the Qin State? Our army destroyed the Wei State, Cao Cao must hate His Majesty to the bone, Ma Chao was defeated by our army, both of them have great hatred for His Majesty, in case His Majesty is discovered, the consequences will not be imagined. The minister implored His Majesty to retract his order and dispel the idea of entering Qin. Xu Huang said worriedly.

"Rest assured, I've minimized the risk, the world is so big, how many people can know me? What's more, Ma Chao and Cao Cao are not able to see me, I will dress up in disguise, and then go to Qin. ”

"Do you have to go?"

"I have to go."

Xu Huang saw that Lin Nan was very persistent, thinking that if someone could persuade him to stop this matter, Lin Nan would not appear here. He sighed and said, "Nachen is willing to go with His Majesty, and there will be a good one on the way." ”

"No need, too many people are bad, and it's very important that you're stationed here. Taolinsai has been built into a checkpoint by you, this is the border defense of our army, and you must shoulder the responsibility. ”

"No!"

Taolinsai refers to the ancient city of Huxian County that stretches to the west of Qinhangu Pass and goes to the west bank of the lake, that is, the Hangu Ancient Road between the old sites of Huxian County, which is named after the peach trees on both sides of the valley road and the source of Hengling and the original of Zhudingyuan in the south. Its terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it is very important for the Huaxia Kingdom, and it can also be regarded as the first barrier on the way of the Qin army's westward advance. After Xu Huang occupied this place, he mobilized craftsmen to build a pass here, which became the current Taolin Pass.

Lin Nan's frown was still frowning, he knew the danger of Tongguan, if the Qin army did not plan to let people pass, that is, he would not be able to pass from here. So, he asked, "Gongming, apart from here to Tongguan, where else can I enter Tongguan?" ”

Xu Huang thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid that only Fengling is the only place, and the rest of the places are dangerous, even if they can climb over, presumably the Qin army will also take precautions." ”

"Fenglingdu?" Lin Nan silently said, "Okay, just enter the territory of the Qin State from here, I will rest here for a day for the time being, and tomorrow morning, I will leave here with Sima Yi." ”

"Who is Sima Yi?" Xu Huang asked.

"It's me!" Sima Yi walked in from outside the door and replied loudly.

Xu Huang turned his head to look over, and saw that Sima Yi was just a child about eleven years old, so he was curious and asked, "Your Majesty took this child to the Qin Kingdom?" ”

"What kid? I'm already an adult! Sima Yi now hates others for treating him as a child, and retorted.

"Zhongda, don't be rude to the general of the right chariot, and see the famous General Xu. Why don't you hurry up and salute? Lin Nan reprimanded.

Sima Yi also felt rude, although he said that no matter how angry he was, he couldn't talk to Xu Huang like this, after all, he was a famous general, and he was nothing. After hearing Lin Nan's reprimand, Sima Yi said to Xu Huang respectfully: "Sima Yi, the protégé of the Son of Heaven." I've seen General Xu! ”

When Xu Huang heard Sima Yi say that he was a protégé of the Son of Heaven, he couldn't help but look at Sima Yi differently, and politely returned to the courtesy.

Lin Nan was very appreciative of Sima Yi's answer, this sentence of the protégé of the Son of Heaven not only showed his identity, but also made his status rise a lot.

"Zhongda, aren't you resting in the house, why did you come here?"

"Master, I can't sleep. So come to Master and see if there's anything you want me to do. Sima Yi replied.

"The only thing I asked you to do is to go to sleep, have a good rest, tomorrow morning, we will leave here, and we are about to leave Huaxia Country and embark on a new journey." Lam Nam Road.

"But I can't sleep......"

"Then count the sheep, slowly from the beginning. Go ahead, I still have important matters to discuss with General Xu. ”

"No. Then I'm gone. ”

After Sima Yi left, Xu Huang asked, "Your Majesty, whose child is this?" ”

"The second son of Sima Fang's family, Sima Lang's younger brother."

"The minister has the courage to ask, isn't there any intention for His Majesty to take Sima Yi to the Qin State?"

"Hmm. If the jade is not cut, it will not be made. Sima Yi is a piece of beautiful jade, but unfortunately the breath of the children of the family on his body is too heavy, and he has not yet taken off his immaturity. Ma Chao was a general at the age of fifteen and won the three armies. led an army of 200,000 to dare to fight for the Central Plains, and now that Sima Yi is eleven years old, it is time for him to exercise. If it can become a national weapon, the future of Huaxia will be limitless. ”

After hearing this, Xu Huang felt that Lin Nan valued Sima Yi very much, so he asked, "Why do you have to go to Qin State?" Isn't it possible to do so in China? Our army is full of fierce generals, and there are countless famous ministers and good generals, isn't it better in the country? ”

"No pressure, no motivation, the country is becoming more and more stable, he only sees the peaceful side, read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, he has been in Juxian Hall in the past few years, the book is almost the same, what is missing is the cognition of life. He is different from us, we were born in troubled times, but he has never suffered hardships, and if he does not go through hardships, he will not have the will to be superior, can you understand my good intentions? ”

Xu Huang nodded, and at the same time frowned, he faintly felt that Lin Nan would do something incredible, and asked tentatively: "Chen Dou dares to ask again, could it be that His Majesty wants to throw Sima Yi in the Qin State and let him fend for himself?" And take the opportunity to inquire about some secrets of the Qin State? ”

Lin Nan smiled and didn't answer, only said, "I'm tired, I'll go rest first." ”

After speaking, Lin Nan walked out of the hall.

Xu Huang stood alone in the hall, racking his brains and couldn't figure out what Lin Nan was going to do, and he couldn't even guess what Lin Nan's mind was. Simply, he didn't guess, after all, he wasn't good at figuring out people's minds, just go with the flow.

The next day.

The sky was slightly bright, Lin Nan stood on the edge of a basin of water, reflecting the reflection in the water, looking at his bald head, with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

The sound of three knocks on the door sounded, and Sima Yi's words also sounded outside the door: "Master, are you up?" ”

"Come in."

Sima Yi pushed open the door, and as soon as he entered, he was dumbfounded, what he saw was a big bald head with a shiny head, a pile of shaved hair on the edge of the basin, and a pile of white hair.

"Division...... Master...... How did you? Sima Yi asked in surprise.

"It's called transfiguration, and I'm going to have to dress up." Lin Nan said, reflecting the reflection in the basin, and put the white-haired headgear that had been prepared on his head, the white hair was fluffy, and the long drape was scattered on his shoulders.

As soon as he turned his head, Lin Nan said to Sima Yi: "Do you still recognize me?" ”

Sima Yi was startled, he looked at the old man who was already old, with gray hair and a wrinkled face, and he was obviously not the same person as the wise and martial founding emperor of the Huaxia Kingdom. He looked at Lin Nan in surprise, his mouth couldn't close, and he actually stayed there.

"What's the fuss, do you still know me?"

"Recognize ...... Unrecognizable...... Master now looks like a man in his seventies and eighties......"

Lin Nan stood up, pinched his throat, pressed his long white beard to his chin, and hunched his body. coughed a few times, and said slowly: "The old man's surname is Tang, his name is bright, and his words are clear." ”

Sima Yi had to admire Lin Nan, his physical appearance, and even the hoarse voice he spoke in his seventies and eighties. I can't see a little bit of Lin Nan's breath at all.

"Master, my surname is Ma, my name is Ma Yi, and I am your apprentice. Do you think I need to dress up? Sima Yi found Yi Rong very interesting and interested.

"You are a child, what are you disguised? And no one knows you? Since you can't even recognize me, others must be even more unrecognizable. Let's go, go to Fenglingdu, and from there enter the territory of the Qin State. Lin Nan said. took out the crutches that had been prepared a long time ago, continued to bend over, hung up his baggage, and walked out taking Sima Yi's hand.

As soon as they took two steps out of the door, Lin Nan and Sima Yi bumped into Xu Huang head-on, Xu Huang was wearing a heavy armor and strode towards this side.

Under the porch, Xu Huang saw Sima Yi walking with a gray-haired old man. Glancing at the gray-haired old man did not arouse his suspicions. Then he asked, "Sima Zhongda, what about His Majesty?" ”

Sima Yi giggled: "Far away in the sky, close in front of you." ”

Xu Huang was stunned for a moment, looked at Lin Nan again, and said in surprise: "Your Majesty...... 陛xià? ”

Lin Nan stood up straight and said in his original voice, "Hahaha...... Komeito didn't recognize me. Then if you go to the Qin State, there will be no danger. ”

"陛xià...... The minister has no eyes and no beads, and he has not been able to recognize His Majesty, please forgive your sins! ”

"It doesn't matter. Prepare a carriage and send me to Fenglingdu. ”

"No!"

Xu Huang celebrity prepares horses. He himself took off a heavy armor and dressed in civilian clothes, and sent Lin Nan and Sima Yi to the banks of the Yellow River.

There were already boats waiting on the shore, and the captain urged: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, and you can't leave?" ”

"Let's go, wait a minute." Xu Huang replied.

As soon as the words fell, Xu Huang walked to Lin Nan's side and whispered, "Your Majesty!" You need to be more careful when you go to Fenglingdu, there is a group of mountain bandits in the local area, which is extremely rampant, and Han Meng, the general of Zhenbei and Zhenbei, has led troops to encircle and suppress several times without success. Although Hedong is my Chinese land, the local people are committed to that group of mountain bandits, and they also occupy the key points such as Leishou Mountain and Fenglingdu, if they encounter it, try to avoid it. ”

"Mountain bandits?" Lin Nan had never heard of this news, and last year, he had ordered Han Meng, the assassin of Bingzhou, to lead an army to attack Hedong County, and successfully occupied it. As for the matter of the mountain bandits, he had never heard Han Meng's report, if it wasn't for Xu Huang suddenly mentioning it, I was afraid that Lin Nan wouldn't know at all.

Xu Huang nodded and said: "There are two leaders of the mountain bandits, one is called Huangfu Jianshou and the other is Zhu Hao, I have also sent someone to investigate the origin of these two people, but unfortunately it has never been investigated, but just because the two of them can make Han Meng anxious, these two must not be simple." Your Majesty, I'll give you another ride and send you to the other side, right? ”

"No need, you still have official business, Taolin Pass is very important, you can go back quickly." Lin Nan secretly kept the matter of the mountain bandits in his heart, and estimated that Han Meng concealed it and did not report it, for fear of condemning him.

Xu Huang saw that Lin Nan was so resolute, and finally had to hold his fists and say, "Take care!" ”

Lin Nan took Sima Yi's hand and got on the boat, and when he walked, he looked like an old dragon clock, and his voice became hoarse and old, and he waved his hand towards Xu Huang and said, "Go back, you have to say goodbye to you for a thousand miles, I will be fine." ”

When Sima Yi and Lin Nan got on the boat, the captain ordered the helmsman to start the boat, and slowly sailed to the middle of the river, gradually disappearing into the surging Yellow River.

When he got on the boat, Sima Yi began to vomit wildly, but he didn't expect him to be seasick, and he vomited for a long time before he stopped, and finally fell asleep in the cabin uncomfortably.

Lin Nan sat cross-legged on the deck and said to the captain: "After landing, how long will it take to go to Fenglingdu?" ”

The captain replied, "With your old body, it will take at least seven or eight days to walk, but if you are young, you can get there in two days." It's best if you hire a horse-drawn carriage and get to Fenglingdu in one day. ”

"Oh, it's so far, then let's hire a carriage."

The captain smiled and said, "Uncle, what kind of time are you still going out at your age?" Now that the Qin State and the Huaxia State are fighting, the passes of the two countries cannot be passed, so if you want to go to the Qin State, this Fenglingdu is the first choice. You are old enough to go to Fenglingdu. It's also to go to the Qin State, right? ”

"Hehe, yes, I'll go to my son and entrust this little apprentice of mine to him, maybe I'll be gone one day with a kick on my legs."

When the captain heard this, he laughed.

Lin Nan and Gong Gong chatted so speculatively. took the opportunity to ask: "I heard my eldest nephew say just now, the mountain bandits in Fenglingdu area, aren't you all afraid?" ”

"What a bandit! Those are the remnants of our Han Dynasty, who are mountain bandits in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of those of us, they are heroes, heroes who defend us. If it weren't for the money's sake, I wouldn't be willing to send you to the other side today. The dog emperor of Huaxia is terrible! ”

Lin Nan listened to it. I felt lonely for a while, I didn't know what was going on, and these people seemed to hate him to the core. He remained silent and echoed: "Yes, it's so bad, it's so bad that I won't even let me go out to find my son, and let my old man go around such a big circle." Big brother, aren't you from Huaxia Kingdom? ”

"It's not. I'm too lazy to be a common man for the dog emperor, I'm ...... Never mind. I told you that you don't understand. ”

Lin Nan could hear that this ship was not from Huaxia or Qin, but belonged to the mountain bandits, so. He speaks a little more carefully. He was chatting very speculatively at this time, and felt that he should continue to talk and inquire more about things, so he sat there and chatted with the captain. From time to time, he said a word or two.

After chatting for about half an hour, Lin Nan finally figured out how the gang of mountain bandits came to be.

It turned out that from the beginning of the crusade against Dong Zhuo, the heroes fought several times around Luoyang, and the people of Luoyang, who could not bear the war, fled elsewhere, and Hanoi, Hedong, Yingchuan, Nanyang, and Guanzhong became the first choice for the people to flee.

For a time, the population of Hedong surged, eating and drinking became a problem, and millions of refugees begged along the road.

However, when Hedong Taishou heard about this, he was afraid that this group of refugees would be like the Yellow Turban Party in the past, not only did they not save them when they saw death, but they actually sent soldiers and horses to drive them away, taking the opportunity to oppress the people, killing and injuring tens of thousands of people. In the end, the people's anger was aroused, and the people elected Huangfu Jianshou and Zhu Hao as the main ones, and Huangfu Jianshou and Zhu Hao persuaded the generals sent by Hedong Taishou to surrender, and persuaded them to counterattack Taishou Mansion together. After killing Hedong Taishou again, Huangfu Jianshou and Zhu Hao opened the official warehouse, opened the warehouse to release grain, and occupied Anyi, the county town of Hedong.

After that, Huangfu Jianshou and Zhu Hao led nearly one million Luoyang people who were in distress to occupy the narrow strip north of the Yellow River and south of the Shushui River in Hedong County, and refined the soldiers and soldiers, forming a faction of their own.

Before the official founding of the Huaxia Kingdom, Lin Nan had sent the state assassin Han Meng to lead the army to attack Hedong County, Han Meng was menacing, invincible along the way, it only took half a month, he conquered Anyi City, Huangfu Jianshou, Zhu Hao led the remnants to flee into the area of Leishou Mountain to Fenglingdu, and fell into the grass.

Because Huangfu Jianshou and Zhu Hao won the hearts of the people, the people gradually attached themselves and gradually revived, seizing Pusaka. Han Meng once personally led the troops to encircle and suppress, Huangfu Jianshou, Zhu Hao and Han Meng played guerrilla warfare, when Han Meng's army arrived, they hid in Leishou Mountain, and when Han Meng left, they sent troops to occupy Pusaka, repeated several times, and dragged Han Meng to a mess, plus it was close to the harsh winter, it was not suitable to march, so there was no movement for the time being, and it has continued until now.

As for the origin of Huangfu Jianshou and Zhu Hao, the prince also knew nothing and didn't know about it, so Lin Nan didn't ask anymore, for fear of arousing suspicion.

After arriving on the north shore, Lin Nan gave the captain double the money, picked up Sima Yi, who was still uncomfortable, from the cabin and left.

After walking for about two miles, Lin Nan put Sima Yi down on a rock, poured Sima Yi with the water he carried, and then rubbed Sima Yi's chest, which relieved Sima Yi's dizziness.

"Master...... I'm really useless, I vomit every time I take the boat......" Sima Yi said.

"South Boat and North Horse, you are still young, you will not be seasick if you sit more in the future, eat this, this is brought from Jicheng, it is an elixir refined by Zhang Zhongjing, and it has the effect of regulating qi and activating blood." Lin Nan took out a pill from his backpack and stuffed it into Sima Yi's hand.

Sima Yi didn't think about it, he directly stuffed the pill into his mouth, took out the water bladder and drank it in one sip.

After a while, Sima Yi's face gradually returned to normal, and his complexion improved a lot, so he followed Lin Nan back on the road.

This road is a mountain road, according to the geographical division, Lin Nan and Sima Yi should be walking on the edge of Zhongtiao Mountain, the road is narrow and rugged, and there is no pedestrian on the road. The two men continued to walk westward, one after the other.

In the evening, the two men came across a team of mules, loaded with all kinds of goods, and stopped at the side of the road to rest. Lin Nan and Sima Yi walked for most of the day, and they were also tired, so they decided to buy two mules to ride. After paying the money, the two men turned over and mounted their mules, and continued to walk forward, much more briskly.

After running ten miles, it was dark, so the two men stopped, lit a bonfire on the side of the road, and spent the night outside.

The next day, before dawn, the two men continued on their way on mules, and finally arrived at Fengling at dawn.

Fengling, the tomb of Nuwa in myths and legends, is located on the river beach outside the east gate of Tongguan Ancient City, and the ferry port at Fengling is called "Fengling Ferry".

Fenglingdu is located at the corner of the Yellow River turning eastward, and has been the largest ferry on the Yellow River since ancient times.

For thousands of years, Fenglingdu has been the key to the Yellow River, and I don't know how many people have passed through Guò here and entered the Qin and Jin Dynasties. It is precisely because of its special location that Fenglingdu has also become a battleground for soldiers.

However, at this time, Fenglingdu can be described as a mixed place, where there is neither the power of Huaxia nor Qin, but is controlled by a group of unknown mountain bandits.

At dawn, when the sleeping Yellow River had just woken up, and the shadows of the trees on the bank were still faintly recognizable, the merchants from the south to the north gathered bustling towards Fenglingdu.

cart riders, horseback riders, cattle drivers, loaders, and bag-bearers...... Follow. Some are in a hurry, some are waiting for the ferry, and some are already sitting in the bow of the boat and rafting in the middle of the river. Looking up and down the Yellow River, the smoke is vast and the mast lights are flickering. The ships are galloping north and south, the colorful sails are competing from east to west, listening attentively, the sound of the rushing water, the squeaky oars, the high-pitched trumpet, the shouts of customers, the birds, the bells, all converge, and the two sides of the ancient ferry echo with a beautiful symphony of early morning crossing.

Lin Nan came here for the first time, but he didn't expect that Fenglingdu, a place where soldiers must fight, seemed to become a place of merchants, with ships on both sides of the strait continuously, merchants gathered, and the roadside of Fenglingdu was full of stalls for several miles, and the cries of selling were endless.

He rode on the back of the mule and slowly walked towards the ferry, and the scene he saw along the way opened his eyes, and he thought to himself: "I haven't seen it with my own eyes, it's really hard to believe that Fenglingdu, which is controlled by mountain bandits, will be so lively." ”

When approaching the ferry, a few strong men with swords and strong suits and iron armor suddenly rushed out from both sides, directly blocking Lin Nan and Sima Yi's way, a leader glanced at Lin Nan and Sima Yi, and asked: "You two, get off the horse!" ”

"Poof", Sima Yi couldn't help laughing, pointed to his mount and said: "You are really blind, you can't even tell the difference between mules and horses, giggle......"

As soon as these words came out, the rest of the strong men couldn't help but laugh too.

The leader's face was gloomy, his face was cold, and he said angrily: "It doesn't matter if it's a mule or a horse, in short, you all come down for me!" ”

"What is the murder?" Sima Yi's face was full of indifference, and he grabbed the reins with both hands, but he didn't come down.

Lin Nan saw that the leader's face had become hideous, and he was afraid that something would happen, so he hurriedly interjected: "This strong man, my little apprentice is ignorant and offensive, please forgive me." ”

As he spoke, Lin Nan slowly stood on the ground from the mule's back, turned his head and said to Sima Yi: "Don't come down quickly and apologize to the strong man." ”

Sima Yi muttered, jumped off the mule's back, and said very reluctantly: "This strong man, there are many offenses in the bottom, please bear with me." ”

"Cover the fart! Where are you two from? What's going on here? The leader said. (To be continued......)
