229. Lishan Qinling
Liu Yi also sighed after reading it, it seems that the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the ages, is indeed magnificent, and the three teenagers all expressed their admiration.
Du Tuo was furious at this time, and suddenly asked, "Do you know that there is a legend in Lishan?" ”
Liu Yi shook his head and said that he didn't know, and Zhang Pengzu also hurriedly said: "Just tell us, I haven't heard of it anymore." ”
Du Tuo smiled and said: "In fact, there is a legend in this Lishan, it is said that in ancient times, the sky fell and the people suffered, and the old mother of the god Lishan took her two daughters to the lower realm to refine stones and make up for the sky; Lishan's old mother and eldest daughter refined stones, but the younger daughter turned into a flying horse carrying her mother and sister up and down, and after some hard work, she finally made up the sky; But after a while, a black dragon came out from under the earth, which had been smashed by the sky, and called out a flood to flood the earth; After a vicious fight, Lishan's mother and two daughters finally subdued the evil dragon and saved the people here; Then he began to refine the stone and replenish the ground; After the land was remediated, the little daughter who became a horse was overtired, and she had not had time to change her appearance and lay on the ground to rest, and when she woke up, she saw the beautiful mountains and rivers around her, and the environment was elegant, so she decided to stay here, so she became a big mountain, which looked like a black horse lying here, which was Lishan. ”
After hearing this, Liu Aiji and Zhang Pengzu both said in unison: "Well spoken, well spoken." ”
At this time, Liu Ai also said: "When I was a child in the hospital, I heard Uncle Gongsun tell the story of the princes of the beacon theater, and I heard him say that this beacon tower is in Lishan. ”
Du Tuo also nodded and said, "I also seem to have heard my eldest brother tell this story." ”
Zhang Pengzu hurriedly said: "I'm sick, why don't you tell us, I've heard of this word, but the content in it is not very clear." ”
Liu Yi said with a smile: "Okay, storytelling is my forte, I'll satisfy your curiosity, if you make mistakes, Du Tuo, you can correct it." ”
Du Tuo also nodded and said, "Let's talk, let's listen." ”
So Liu Ying has already begun to tell the story: "When the king of Zhou You, the king of the Zhou family was in the area of Guanzhong, when there was a major earthquake, and then there were droughts for many years, which caused the people to be hungry and cold, exiled, social turmoil, and national strength; And King Zhou You is a debaucherous and unscrupulous king, he does not want to save the Zhou Dynasty from danger, works hard, but internally reuses the minister Yu Shifu, exploits the people, and defeats Xirong externally; King Zhou You is very fond of his concubine Bao Xi, although Bao Xi was born as bright as a peach and plum, but cold as frost, since entering the palace has never laughed once, King You in order to win Bao Xi's happy smile, he did not hesitate to do everything, but Bao Xi still does not smile all day long; For this reason, the king of Youwang actually offered a reward for a plan, who could attract a smile and a bounty of a thousand taels, and at this time someone proposed to try it with a beacon. ”
After hearing this, Zhang Pengzu sneered and said: "There is such a debaucherous and shameless emperor, the beacon fire is an emergency warning signal when the enemy invades, how can it be child's play, it seems that it is strange not to die the country." ”
Liu Yi has smiled and continued: "At that time, in order to prevent the intrusion of the dog Rong, more than 20 beacon towers were built in the area of Lishan near Haojing, one every few miles, once the dog Rong attacked, the first sentinel to be found would immediately light the beacon fire on the platform, and the sentinels near the beacon tower saw it and lit the fire one after another, and kept alerting the nearby princes; And when the princes saw the beacon fire, they knew that the capital was in an emergency, and the Son of Heaven was in trouble, so they must raise troops to serve the king and rush to the rescue; However, in order to win a smile from the beauties, someone offered a plan to make the beacon tower light the beacon for no reason, which attracted the princes to come and run for nothing, so as to make Bao Xi laugh. ”
"Haha, I really laughed."
"Yes, I know it's funny, but the consequences are miserable; Later, the dog Rong really came, and at this time, the panicked King Zhou You ordered someone to light a beacon fire to ask the princes for help, but the princes who had been teased thought that the king of Zhou You was playing with them again, so they didn't come to King Qin, so the result was that King Zhou You was killed, you said it was miserable. ”
"It's self-inflicted."
Everyone laughed when they heard it.
While walking and chatting, time passed quickly, and after a while, the three of them came to Xinfeng.
The three of them were also tired of walking, so they found a place to rest here, only to see that this is an ancient town called Hongmen, although it is a city, but because most of the people go to Xinfeng in the new city, there are only a few dozen families left here.
When Zhang Pengzu saw Hongmenyi, he said, "Do you know that there was a famous banquet here? ”
Liu Yi shook his head, and after Du Tuo pondered for a moment, he suddenly said: "It seems to be the story of Gaozu and the overlord of Chu." ”
Zhang Pengzu nodded and smiled: "Exactly, I heard my father see it when I was a child, and the content was very exciting, so I still remember it, and I can't imagine that it is here." ”
Liu Yi had already lifted the kettle, and after taking a sip of water, he said, "Then hurry up and tell us, I haven't heard you tell the story yet." ”
Zhang Pengzu smiled: "Okay, then it's my turn to speak; When Gaozu and the overlord of Chu were fighting, Gaozu's 100,000 troops were stationed in Bashang, which was the Balingyi where we set off in the morning, and the 400,000 troops of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, were stationed here, Xinfeng Hongmen, you see, we walked this morning, and the two parts were forty miles apart; At that time, Gaozu had already invaded Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty, and I heard that he took advantage of the chaos to attack Xianyang when most of the elite of the Qin State was fighting fiercely with Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu. ”
Hearing this, Du Tuo also hurriedly said: "That is also because of Gaozu's wit and strategy, so he was able to attack Xianyang." ”
Zhang Pengzu said with a smile: "That's, that's, but there was an agreement at that time, whoever entered Xianyang first would be the king; Originally, this king should be Gaozu's, Xiang Yu relied on others to do more, not convinced, so he came to attack Gaozu, Gaozu had already sent people to guard the pass, but Xiang Yu still kept killing until Ba, so the two armies were in a confrontation with each other. ”
Zhang Pengzu saw his eyebrows flying, and Liu Aiji and Du Tuo were also quietly listening to him: "At this time, there was a traitor Cao Wushu in our Han army, who sneaked out to report to Xiang Yu, and lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, lying that Gaozu was preparing to be the emperor, and wanted to make Prince Qin's baby the prime minister, if you don't do something, I'm afraid that the raw rice will be cooked and cooked; When Xiang Yu heard this, he definitely couldn't sit still, so he arranged to prepare for war with our Han army overnight; At this time, Xiang Yu's dog-headed soldier Fan Zeng said, if you want to do it, you can do it bigger, and ask him not to hesitate, it is best to kill Gaozu. ”
Liu Yi really hadn't heard of this allusion yet, and felt that this allusion was very exciting and fascinating, so he asked: "What method did Xiang Yu want to use to kill Gao Zu, why couldn't he kill it later, and how could it be related to this place?" ”
