Jingnan Qingjiang

"Qingjiang Ci"

The river wind raises the hunting battle flag,

Yu Xia became a Qixi and captured thousands of enemies.

Beheaded, dyed with green clay,

The blood of the lance is full of sleeves, and the geese are crying sadly.

Stepping on the mountains and rivers,

The liver marrow is wild and sad.

Holding the long tassel, two lines of tears,

Cover your arms and bury your gizzards beside the water!

……

The sunset of the Qingjiang River has just disappeared into the West Mountain, and the red glow in the sky will rise instantly, a dazzling light that penetrates the sky, outlining the mountains, and also dyeing the sky, the sparkling river water, under the reflection of the sunset, is like a rolling and swimming red golden dragon, roaring and running into the distance. On the dragon's back, there were still clouds of fire and billowing smoke, jumping and trembling......

The river wind rose suddenly, and a big flag was erected in the barracks at the foot of the West Mountain, and the big battle flag with the word "Guo" on the flagpole raised high was shining golden in the brilliant sunset. Mu Quan, whose face was pale, raised his head and looked into the distance; A huge Kong Ming lantern has risen in the sky, the wreckage of the burning battleship by the river is still emitting billowing black smoke, and there is a group of blood-stained soldiers standing outside the gate, holding the horizontal knife tightly in their hands, their faces are solemn but trembling, they look hideous and imposing, but their eyes are full of unconcealable hesitation and hesitation.

They were hesitating whether to organize a senseless charge to save their captured general......

Qingjiang County is located between Guizhou and Jiangling, the throat of Shuchu. The crystal clear water flows here to join the river, so it is named, and the turquoise water and the turbid river water are integrated into one place but are distinct. The surrounding mountains are stacked, the scenery is beautiful, and the Qingjiang Basin is surrounded by mountains and waters. Since ancient times, the local people have made a living by fishing and cutting wood. How many literati and writers envy the fishing boats here sing late and cultivate the South Mountain. In the years of war and chaos, what more could you ask for to have such a quiet and prosperous shelter?

At the foot of the western hill was an army stationed, and their lord was the undisputed master of this quiet little city until half a day. The soldiers were originally farmers, woodcutters, fishermen, or hunters, but they were forced to become wandering rogues. To be able to stop here, and finally not to continue wandering, they are all satisfied, and they would like to stay here for the rest of their lives.

In the afternoon, when the battleship anchored by the river suddenly burst into flames, everything changed! Perhaps, it should be counted from the time when the enemy army suddenly rushed down from the western mountain.

The battleship was lit by Jiang Zhi's people, this kind of thing is easy for Jiang Zhi, after all, an idler who can't set fire is not a good! How much fish oil needs to be put in how much to burn, not only to burn it clean but not to waste, experience needs to be accumulated, experienced people are worthy of respect, it just so happens that Jiang Zhi's subordinates have never lacked this kind of respectable arson experts. What's more, his people are by the river, and the woman who goes to the latrine can do what she can do with a torch, of course, is an easy thing. For Jiang Zhi, burning a few boats by the river is as simple as cooking a few fish in a pot.

Lai Xiao arrived in Qingjiang the day before yesterday and brought a message from his master to Jiang Zhi; "Lord Lu said that the time to eat fish has come!" Jiang Zhi was very excited when he heard this, because after eating the fish, Lu Ye would be able to leave the two black bamboo houses. He believes! As long as you soak in the hot springs, you will definitely be able to get rid of the disgusting fishy smell on your body.

The mountains of Jingnan are not very high but very dense, with mountains and green mountains and babbling streams, and the air is filled with the smell of grass, which makes people's nose itch. When the fog first dispersed and the cuckoos began to call, they began to walk in the mountains, and in the early spring the broad-leaved forests were full of thorns and dew, and it was very difficult to walk more than 20 miles over the mountains and mountains, and they had to carry heavy equipment. Originally, they had seven ships and a very good helmsman, and they could reach their destination by just lying comfortably on the boat and taking a nap, so why should they get off the boat halfway and trek through the mountains and rivers? That's what an idiot would do! But their leader happens to be an idiot.

There has never been a low-hanging fruit success in the world, and giving and getting are always proportional! When Xu Cun led his team over the mountains and mountains to Xishan, and under the guidance of Afu, who sold meat, accurately found the military village where Mou Quan was located, and took advantage of the chaos on the riverside to launch a surprise attack, he was convinced of this truth. When a hundred and ten strong men rushed out of the military village, rushing at them with a war knife in his hand and shouting to kill Zhentian, he could clearly feel a recruit trembling beside him. Xu Cun is sure that this recruit will remember everything that happened today and will never forget it! Because, with his own ears, he heard that the recruit had his arm cut off, and the sound of broken bones and heart-rending screams still lingered in Xu Cun's ears.

Two hundred men covered up all the way to the past, like a piece of dirt thrown out, rushing towards the enemy formation, crashing into others and breaking themselves. Fresh lives, in the collision of life and death, fell apart like fragile soil, screaming, wailing, and falling to the ground!

When the brave Zhao Wu took the lead in rushing into the camp tent and put a war knife with a notched and broken blade on Mu Quan's throat; When Meng Hu desperately wielded an iron spear and repelled strong enemies desperately to defend the walled gate; Xu Cun looked back behind him, and his eyes were blood-red, until the sunset rose, and it was even more blood-red under the residual sun.

A group of wild geese returning north passed through the sunset, and uninvited guests invaded their habitat tonight, leaving them to regroup in the evening and fly into the sky again. The swift geese flicked their wings and cut through the sky like a sharp blade, and the sky splattered with crimson blood, transforming into an even more brilliant sunset.

The fighting men confronted each other silently and angrily through the high gate. The original dark face was red under the reflection of the sunset, and the murderous expression looked particularly weird. The wrist holding the knife has been stiff, but no one moves, just maintains the posture of swinging the knife at any time, staring at each other angrily and fiercely, as if any slight body shaking will expose the weakness and cowardice in his heart, and will encourage the enemy on the opposite side to rush over and kill him.

Suddenly there was a wail on the shore, and then there was silence again. The soldiers outside the fortress looked a little gloomy, knowing that their warships had been burned to ashes, and all that could be heard in the distance was the screams of the brothers before they died.

……

The Taibai Liquor Shop in Guizhou City couldn't see the sunset, and the irritable Gou Da kicked the bamboo bench at his feet vigorously, and looked at the equally irritable Lu Ye next to him with an aggrieved expression.

Gouda has never had any friends because of his fierce and aggressive nature. Now he finally has a friend, Lai Xiao. He cherishes his only friend very much, and wants to go to Qingjiang with his friends, he knows that it is a dangerous place now, and he doesn't want his friends to go to danger alone, but Lu Ye just doesn't allow it.

At this time, Lu Ben was also irritable, he also wanted to fight with his eldest brother, so he grinded with his eldest brother for a long time, but the eldest brother just didn't allow it.

Therefore, he left Gouda, not for anything else, but for the two of them to be irritable together, it would be better to feel better! Two fidgetable people who know their friends are in danger, but have no way of knowing what they are doing!

At this time, Gouda's friend had already climbed to the top of the mountain and released a Kong Ming lantern; And Lu Ben's eldest brother has finally waited for the surprise team that will decide success or failure!

……

Seven small boats quickly sailed out of the inaccessible inlet, whipped up a wave of geese, forcing them out of this fertile habitat. It must be admitted that Zhang Chengcheng is a genius boat master, even if he comes from the northern river to the southern river, he can quickly master the skilled boating in Jingnan, where the water system is complicated, just like a native old man. In fact, when Hu Si saw the Kong Ming lantern released by Lai Xiao just now, he still hesitated for a moment. In the unpredictable red glow of the sky, an insignificant red Kong Ming lantern rose up, far less eye-catching than pre-envisioned, even the alert and experienced Hu Si could only be confirmed after careful distinction, this was indeed a pre-agreed attack signal.

The sky gradually darkened, the red glow had slowly faded, and there was still a trace of residual sun on the top of the west mountain trying to support it, and it was reluctant to disperse for a long time.

Seven warships roamed on the surface of the Qingjiang River like seven black ghosts, also breaking the original balance of confrontation. Whether in the Great River or in the Yishui, they devour any creature who dares to approach the shore with their bloodthirsty crossbow arrows. From time to time, there were bursts of heart-rending wails in the silence, like a giant hammer constantly beating the hearts of the warriors who were about to collapse. The feathered arrows of the counterattack hit the side of the ship, which was covered with thick raw cowhide, and thumped! It's like the Grim Reaper beating a drum for the blood-devouring feast that is about to begin.

Now start reaping the life!

The last remnants of the sun also disappeared into the sky. When the victory and defeat are decided, everything seems so boring. Xu Cun stretched out his hand and patted Mu Quan beside him. When the military order to give up resistance was delivered, he remained like a dead man who had swallowed his breath. is also a fighting man, Xu Cun can certainly understand Mu Quan's mood at this time. It is not about honor or position, Mou Quan's frustration only comes from the uncertainty of the future, and losing this battle means another homelessness.

Although the remnant sun is gone, at least there is still a bright starry sky to look forward to, at least it can be quietly healed under the gentle watery moonlight, at least there is no need to face the cruel reality under the clear and clear sky. As for tomorrow? That's not something these sculptors need to think about. Just before the sun set, Xu Cun, like Mu Quan, didn't know if he could see the sun tomorrow.

Until many years later, Xu Cun and his brothers still clearly remember that the remnants of the Qingjiang River on that day were like blood!
