Chapter 504: Tianshui Qiang Flute

Why should Qiang Di complain about the willows, the spring breeze does not pass the jade gate. ------------Tang Dynasty. Wang Zhilian "Liangzhou Ci"

It is said that Chen Long, Zhuge Jin, Yi Jian Jiqing, and Zhiyuan talked more about the fireplace, and under the catalysis of fine wine and mutton, the four of them were able to call each other brothers, and their conversations gradually became harmonious. The wine and meat were exhausted, Zhuge Jin reminded Chen Long to set off for Tianshui, and the four of them ended this meal that was of great significance to the Hu-Han dispute.

The four of them got on their horses together, and the path by the Wangwei River headed towards Tianshui, and Lu Chang and other forty horsemen followed behind to guard. Sure enough, there were many settlements of Lu Shuihu people along the road, and Yi Jian Jiqing and Zhi Yuanduo took Chen Long to understand the situation. Chen Long noticed that in addition to the Lu Shuihu people, there were actually some tribes whose names they did not know also set up camps and settled down by the Wei River.

Taking advantage of the effort of peeing, Zhuge Jin finally had the opportunity to talk to Long Chen alone. The two stood side by side in front of the weeds, and Zhuge Jin said while taking out Ding Ding: "Lord, this Yijian Jiqing and Zhiyuan are not telling the truth, I'm afraid things are not so simple." ”

Long Chen knew that Zhuge Jin was by no means a stupid person, so he frowned and nodded, "Ziyu, what do you see?" ”

Zhuge Jin said: "First of all, Zhiyuan said that the clansmen wanted to go to Hanzhong to eat, which has many flaws. There is a big drought in Wuwei County, but there is no in Tianshui County, you see the grassland by the Wei River they occupied just now, which is enough for their people to raise livestock and sheep. Since there is grass and water here, and the demand has been met, why do you want to go to Hanzhong? Is it necessary to go to Hanzhong to make trouble and grab grain and land to complete the task? Isn't the difference between Hanzhong and Tianshui the difference between the lords of the land? ”

Long Chen nodded slightly and asked, "What else?" Oops, you're all peeing on my shoes. ”

Zhuge Jin hurriedly changed Ding Ding's direction, but that direction was headwind, and as a result, a soak of urine rolled back, and he sprinkled his pants again. Zhuge Jin hurriedly shook his pants and continued: "Secondly, it is strange that the Tianshui garrison can live in peace without being impatient and amiable against so many Hu people. Not only did they allow them to seize the natural grassland by the Wei River, but they also allowed them to enter and leave Tianshui City without restrictions, weren't they afraid that the Hu people would take the opportunity to make trouble? The lord has always been worried about the appearance of the Hu people in Hanzhong, but the lord of Tianshui is not in a hurry or impatient, and he can't help but make people wonder. ”

After Chen Long finished urinating at the moment, he stared at Zhuge Jin and said, "Ziyu, you made a mistake, I am not your lord." ”

Zhuge Jin covered his nose with his hands, his face turned from white to red, and he coughed repeatedly to hide his embarrassment. Suddenly smelled a smell of urine on his hands, and then remembered that he had just wiped the urine on his pants with his hands, and couldn't help but spit out a few mouthfuls, and his face wrinkled into an eighty-year-old man, blooming a chrysanthemum.

Chen Long couldn't help but laugh, and sighed: "Ziyu is really a good minister, much better than your brother." You are absolutely right, there is a deeper conspiracy behind this, and we need to be vigilant at all times to avoid being calculated. Moreover, you see that by the Weishui River, it is not only the Lushui Hu people, but also many Hu people and Qiang people from other tribes who have gathered here. Don't hide that Ziyu said that before coming to Tianshui, I had asked Ma Chao and Xu Shu to return to Hanzhong in Chang'an, in case Li Hu's troops were troubled in Hanzhong. ”

Zhuge Jin raised his thumb and said, "Lord....... Da Sima is really far-sighted. This Zhiyuan is so enthusiastic, it seems that he wants to recruit Da Sima for his use, thinking that because he sees your strong martial arts, he just plans to do it. ”

Long Chen nodded to cover his mouth and nose, and said with a smile: "Thank you Ziyu for reminding me." Your hand stinks for ten miles, go to the river and wash it, hahaha! Zhuge Jin blushed at this time, thinking to himself how could there be such a stinky method, lord...... Da Sima is really exaggerating.

After several inquiries along the road, some herdsmen really saw about 100 people in Li Ru's team, but they couldn't see whether there were women in the horse team. It was preliminarily determined that Li Ru and the others were indeed going in the direction of Tianshui. Since they were a little eyebrow-raised, dozens of people sped up their horses, and finally saw Tianshui City before dark.

Tianshui City is at the northern foot of the Wei River, and the city wall is built against the Wei River, forming a natural moat. Although the walls are not very high, they are very strong, and there are three arrow holes left in the battlements, and if you want to attack the city in a field battle, you will inevitably be greeted by a dense rain of arrows from the defenders. The Xiliang Iron Arrow is already powerful, and the Xiliang Army's arrow rain is even more famous all over the world and has strong combat power. Chen Long seemed to see the dense Qinglong army filling up the Weishui, and when he climbed to the top of the city, he was shot through his body by the dense rain of arrows, and he couldn't help but shiver all over. If you can avoid a siege war, you should try not to fight it, and use strategy or politics to solve it peacefully, rather than sacrificing the lives of your own Blue Dragon Army soldiers in vain.

More than 40 people had already changed into Hu clothes, broken into pieces, and took advantage of the moment when the city gate was about to be closed, and successfully infiltrated Tianshui City, and the soldiers guarding the gate did not leave any difficulty, and the horses were left in a small dense forest at the southern foot of the Wei River, handed over to a few special combat team members to take care of, and reserved a way to escape.

To the right of the gate is a large shed, where many Hu people in tattered clothes gathered, apparently used as a temporary shelter for Hu slaves. Zhuge Jin and Lu Chang were also dressed in tattered clothes, and went to the locked city gate to check. Yi Jian Jiqing and Zhi Yuan pulled Chen Long and entered the greenhouse to find it. As soon as I entered the door of the greenhouse, there was a fishy smell, it turned out that many Hu people could not find a job, so they spent the night on the ground here, which can be described as and urine. Chen Long looked at it, his hairstyle, clothing color, skin color, and body shape were really shaped*, and his accent was also strange.

Jiqing found a few clansmen and asked about the robbers, who had apparently lived here for a while, and recalled, "Yes, yes! About five days ago, there was a General Zhang in Tianshui City, who seemed to personally welcome dozens of people into the city, and I and a few others were in this greenhouse at that time, and they were not allowed to go out. Unbelievable that they turned out to be robbers? ”

Chen Long thought to himself that in these years, there is no distinction between soldiers and bandits, and you Hu people are not also burning, killing and looting against Han people. He asked, "Do you see a beautiful woman in the process?"

One of the clansmen seemed to fall into recollection: "It seems that there is. On that day, I peeked through the loopholes in the greenhouse, and did see a horse with a woman in plain clothes, but her face was covered with a heavy veil, and it was impossible to see whether she was beautiful or not. Chen Long knew that it was very likely to be Diao Chan, and he couldn't help but be happy and sad. The happy thing is that things have finally come to an eyebrow, and he can finally try to rescue his beloved wife, but the sad thing is that Diao Chan is still with the robbers, and I don't know if he has been violated by Li Ru.

At the same time, Na Yijian Jiqing and Zhi Yuanduo were whispering beside them for a long time, and at this moment Zhi Yuanduo came over and said, "Brother Huaiyang, take a step to speak." ”

The three of them walked out of the greenhouse, and Chen Long took a breath and asked, "What do the two brothers have to say?" ”

Na Zhiyuan was a little embarrassed and said: "Brother Huaiyang, it's not that we don't help my brother. However, you also heard it just now, these robbers in your mouth were greeted by General Zhang. It's not that simple, and we can't risk the lives of an entire people. I'm afraid we've got you all this far. ”

Chen Long suddenly understood, if Zhi Yuanduo and Yi Jian Jiqing were the leaders of the Lu Shuihu people, it would be better to say that their entire clan had been living in the snort of the Xiliang Army, and maybe this move to the south was still the instruction of the high-level of the Xiliang Army. Since it was Zhang Heng who welcomed Li Ru in, it showed that the robbers in his mouth were likely to be in the same group as the Xiliang Army. Therefore, for the sake of the clansmen, Yi Jian Jiqing and Zhiyuan can only quickly stay out of the matter, and it is already very righteous to not go to Zhang Heng to expose him.

Long Chen nodded slightly, and was about to speak, when Yi Jian Jiqing suddenly walked over and pulled out his Persian knife. Chen Long's muscles tightened, and he only heard Na Yijian Jiqing say: "Brother Huaiyang, my brother is not righteous, and he should apologize." This knife has been with me for many years, and I will give it to you today, and I will accept it with all hopes. In the future, if there is fate, it is good to recognize each other. Brother, if you meet Lu Shuihu in the future, you can show this knife, and all of my people know each other, and we will definitely help you. As he spoke, he stuffed the Persian knife into Chen Long's hand, and Zhi Yuanduo turned around and entered the greenhouse, disappearing.

Chen Long held the handle of the knife in his hand, and couldn't help but feel a sour throat, just as a sound of the Qiang flute rose in the greenhouse, the sound of the flute suddenly faintly swallowed, suddenly bright and crisp, suddenly melancholy and tactful, and suddenly iron horse Jingo, people couldn't help but fall into the illusion and confusion, and the smell was really moving. The flute seems to tell the joys, sorrows, joys and sorrows of the Qiang people, conveying the Qiang people's longing and yearning for the endless grassland, which is also a deep homesickness, which is not at all lighter than the homesickness of Jiangnan poets.

A melodious Qiang flute sound went away, Chen Long couldn't help but be stupid, holding the Persian knife tightly, and couldn't help but chant Wang Zhilian's famous sentence in his mouth: "Why should the Qiang flute complain about the willows? The spring breeze does not pass the jade gate. ”

Zhuge Jin, who had just returned to his side, suddenly heard Chen Long recite a couplet of seven words, and blurted out: "Good poem, good poem!" One sentence woke up Long Chen, and he saw Zhuge Jin with a happy face and spread his right hand in front of Long Chen's eyes. Chen Long fixed his eyes and saw that in the center of Zhuge Jin's palm was a round blue-gray sandalwood rosary.
