Chapter 500: Yi Jian's concubine

Where is Yunheng Qinling's home? The snow hugs the blue pass, and the horse does not move forward. -------Tang Dynasty. Han Yu "Left Moved to Languan to Show Nephew Sun Xiang"

It is said that Chen Long and others*, who pursued Li Ru, who hijacked Diao Chan, inevitably penetrated into the hinterland of the Qinling Mountains, and also inevitably penetrated into the vast Xiliang controlled by Han Sui's troops and the Qiang and Di people. The first Xiliang city in the upper reaches of Weishui was Tianshui, which was used by Chen Long to scare away the defender Liang Xing when he was trying to seize Zhang Lu's Hanzhong, and briefly occupied it as a supply base for attacking Hanzhong. But later, time passed, although Hanzhong was captured, Han Sui was unwilling to lose Tianshui, and after several tug-of-wars, Tianshui returned to the hands of Han Sui's army. Chen Long did not have the strategy of Xiliang for the time being, and other places lacked skills, so after Han Sui's army occupied Tianshui, he had been at peace with Hanzhong and Chang'an for several years.

The Tianshui guard general was replaced by Zhang Heng and the two candidates, because it was an important border town, with 20,000 garrison troops and 10,000 elite cavalry. Han Sui's life was a struggle with the Han family, a struggle with Ma Teng, a struggle with Dong Zhuo, and finally a struggle with Cao Cao, but unfortunately he fell into a divisive plan, and finally died at the hands of Xiahou Yuan in the official history at the age of seventy. As the leader of the Qianghu rebels, Han Sui's subordinates were also full of talents, the most famous of which were the eight generals. Who will be in these eight parts? Liang Xing, Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, Li Kan, Zhang Heng, Cheng Yi, Ma Wan, Yang Qiu.

Han Sui himself, who has always been stationed in the tribal groups of the Qiang and Di people, thinks that he is the safest. With Cheng Gongying, a native of Jincheng in Liangzhou, as his military advisor, his son-in-law Yan Xing's arm, Qiang King Cheriji, Mi Dang, and Yang Servant, Qiang Duan, and Lei Ding as his minions, he has been separating Xiliang and has not declined for decades.

In the official history, Han Sui and Ma Chao seem to have the same ending, they both died of poverty, but they are actually different. Han Sui retained the hope of a comeback until his death, and Ma Chao finally sent people to look up to people under the fence, although Ma Chao also instigated more than 10,000 people during the battle of Hanzhong, but the response was Liu Bei and no longer himself, Ma Chao since the moment he chose to rely on others, he was no longer a prince on one side, he could only be a general under the fence. When Liu Beizhuo raised his army, his strength was much weaker than Ma Chao and Han Sui, but he persevered, fought in many places, was defeated and fought repeatedly, and finally established himself as an emperor and hegemon, relying on his strong heart. In troubled times, it is easy to get soldiers and horses, easy to get land, and not easy to lose ambition. Before Ma Chao was depressed and died, he said to Liu Bei: "There are more than 200 mouths of the Chenmen Sect, which have been punished by Meng De, but only from the younger brother Dai, who should be the successor of the blood of the Weichen Sect, deeply entrusting Your Majesty, and there is no reply." Ma Chao, who seems to have a good death, the hero of the mighty West Soil, did not think about separating one side before he died, and did not think about avenging the family, and left a will just to ask Liu Bei to take care of his cousin, the end of the hero, which is really embarrassing, this is a digression, don't mention it.

Since Chen Long and the others had determined their goal, they naturally went straight to Tianshui. When I arrived at the south bank of Weishui, I saw that this section of the river was clear and tactful, the green water reflected the green mountains, and the grass and warblers by the river were flying, as if they had arrived in the fish and rice water town, which made people forget to return. On the grassy slope by the river, the green grass is like an emerald carpet, and it is dotted with white sheep and red horses, like a fairyland on earth, and it is really plugged into the south of the Yangtze River.

Chen Long and the others were amazed, and Zhuge Jin said: "I didn't expect that there are such great rivers and mountains here!" It's a natural pasture, no wonder you can raise good horses! Zhong Hui pointed to a place in front of him and said, "Look! It should be a village, and you can see the smoke curling? ”

Chen Long was overjoyed, and the group beat the horses to the front, but found that it was not a village, but a family, with a low courtyard wall built with earth and stones, and several small adobe houses in the middle, and a simple stable built next to it, in which there were two inferior horses in the same trough.

Chen Long restrained everyone, dismounted and went to the courtyard alone, and said in a deep voice: "Is the head of the family here?" ”

The door of the cooking hut was opened, and I saw a man in his thirties, with a strong figure, narrow sleeves and a bearded coat, thick eyebrows, a high nose, and brown eyes, who came out and asked in a Chinese with Hu Yin, "Who are you?" I don't have much food here. ”

Chen Long saw that he was a foreigner, so he hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "We are Han people from Chencang County, and we have never been far away. I wanted to go to Tianshui to do business, but I didn't know if this Weishui was navigable, so I came to explore the way. What is this strong man called? Can you show me a clear path. ”

The man's eyes were suspicious, Chen Cang was indeed not far from here, but because it was located between Tianshui and Chang'an, it was a three-way zone for the time being, and only the local security team practiced. Seeing Chen Long's dignified appearance, he replied: "A cheap name is not enough to worry about." I also fled the famine not long after the drought in my hometown, but last month I went down the river on a wooden raft. Weishui Beach is shallow and difficult to walk, many people of the same tribe starved to death and drowned, Zhiyuan and I escaped from death, and raised a few livestock here for a living, so that we could have food to eat. ”

The speaker was unintentional, listening to the intention, Chen Long moved in his heart and asked, "Why don't you two stay in Tianshui?" It is a big city, rich in things and people, and it must be able to feed a large number of nobles! But I don't know who the nobles are? ”

The man shook his head and said, "If the Tianshui City Lord is willing to leave us, why did so many clansmen die?" It was they who put us on the wooden raft and let us drift down the river, and life and death were free. ”

Chen Long understood that he was still worried that Li Hu, a member of the Di tribe, was robbing Hanzhong, and of course the Tianshui guards would also encounter the matter of refugees fleeing from the famine. It seems that Tianshui is heavily guarded, and even the displaced people in the border pass cannot gain a foothold. If I want to go to Tianshui, I'm afraid I will have to make up in a low-key manner. While thinking about it, he asked, "But I don't know which family the nobles are?" Can you borrow a wooden raft? ”

The man said: "People call my people Lu Shuihu. The wooden rafts are all rotten and are on the riverside, so you can take them for yourself. He turned around and was about to go back to the house.

When Long Chen heard Lu Shuihu's words, he had already begun to quickly search for information in his brain, and suddenly said with a shock: "You said that your companion is called Zhi Yuanduo?" Then are you a concubine of Yijian? The man slammed into shape, and when he turned around, there was a shiny short knife in his hand.

It was a bow-shaped scimitar, quite like the shape of a small Persian knife, and the Persian cavalry held the knife flat when fighting, and with the help of galloping horsepower, the enemy's head could be cut off by the trend, which benefited from the huge curvature of the blade and the advantage of the long distance of the blade when slashing head-on. However, this one in this person's hand is much shorter, the blade is folded downward, and the handle and the grip form an obtuse angle.

Chen Long raised his hands to show no malice, and said, "Good knife!" I have a word, why don't you make a decision after listening to it? ”
