Chapter 283: Stone Camel

Wei Qing hurriedly urged him forward, but before he could reach the crowd, he heard the commotion.

"What's going on!" Wei Qing asked.

"General Wei is here, General Wei is here to deal with it!" A commander in the crowd was very happy when he saw that it was Wei Qing, and hurriedly saluted Wei Qing: "General Wei, there are several wooden planks on the bridge deck that have rotted, and it is inconvenient for people and horses to walk. He pointed with his hand, and saw more than a dozen people standing in the crowd, young and old, who looked like local people: "But they don't let them live or die!" ”

Wei Qing looked at the people, and one of those people was older, seeing that the Han army respected Wei Qing very much, and knew that Wei Qing was a big official, he immediately saluted and said: "General, this temple can't be demolished!" This is the temple of the stone camel in the town, if there is no temple, as soon as the stone camel walks, the bridge will collapse! ”

Wei Qing was secretly surprised in his heart, this was the second time he had heard the term "stone camel".

"Uncle!" Wei Qing asked, "What is a stone camel?" What does it have to do with this bridge! ”

The old man pointed to the three stones under the bridge: "That is the stone camel, this bridge can only connect the two sides of the strait by relying on it, as soon as this temple is demolished, the stone camel will go!" ”

Wei Qing almost laughed out loud, and after a long time, he said, don't you say, these three stones really look like a camel, the first stone is thin and round, arc-shaped, and the top is a cone, looking at the head and neck of a camel, the second and third stones are large and small, all in the shape of a hill, looking like a hump.

He glanced at the commander and said to the commander: "You can use this door panel, but people say that this door panel is connected to the safety of the bridge and cannot be dismantled, so let's do it!" You go and report to General Bai, allocate a hundred taels of silver from the arsenal, and we will donate a sum of money to rebuild this small temple when we use this door panel, so that it will not be demolished! ”

The elder was overjoyed, shouted, and ordered his men to go down and dismantle the door panel.

The old man couldn't understand for a while, whether this first dismantling the door panel and then donating money was to demolish the temple or build the temple, and stay there with the people.

How could Wei Qing give them time to figure it out slowly, and he said: "Everyone, sit aside with me, so as not to block the road, old man, why is this stone called a stone camel, why is it related to that temple, I hope you can tell me about it!" When he saw that the old man seemed to be the leader of the people, and that he was very old, and insisted that the temple was related to stone camels, and that the older men liked to tell allusions, and that he was clearly saying that there should be some allusions, he immediately asked.

The old man really fell for the plan, laughed, took the lead and walked to the side, and said as he walked: "Does the general have such leisure to listen to me tell me this allusion?" ”

Wei Qing heard in his ears that the soldiers had already removed the door panels of the small temple, and it was estimated that it would not take much time to pave the bridge deck, and then these people would not have to protest, so he nodded at the moment: "I want to hear about it!" ”

The old man was overjoyed, shook his head and said, "General, listen well! He said slowly: "Legend has it that the carpentry patriarch Lu Ban traveled all over the world in that year, when he traveled to the boundary of Shichuan in Gaolan County, he saw that this place was surrounded by mountains and water on three sides, and the local farmers crossed the river, and it was very difficult to transport materials.

He first selected the Shichuan Shanghe Gorge Exit Lot Construction Bridge, the river channel is narrow, the cliffs on both sides of the river, very dangerous, is an ideal place to build a bridge, after the bridge site is selected, Luban decided to rely on the bluestone on both sides of the river to prepare the stone for the bridge, when Luban built the bridge, there is often a woman in the river with a neck tied with a copper bell puppy to deliver food for it, every day when the meal is delivered, the puppy first ran to report the news, when the woman arrived, she always saw Luban sweating profusely sitting on the mountainside bluestone, the woman was puzzled, asked what it was doing here, Luban always prevaricated with words, one day, The woman went to deliver the food again, and she thought, "I don't have a puppy with me today, what the hell is this man doing?" She quietly turned the mountain beam, and was immediately stunned by the sight before her! It turned out that Lu Ban, who was sitting on the shore on weekdays, was driving a stone camel to the river, he stood on the hump, lifting the boulder, hanging the bridge, the stone camel was like a hill, standing tall, Lu Ban was several feet long, the giant was general, this situation and this scene, the woman was taken aback, and couldn't help shouting, at this time, it was the time when the stone bridge was about to be completed, the woman on the shore exclaimed, the road broke the sky, the stone bridge collapsed, and the stones fell into the river, Lu Ban sighed, threw the last stone wedge used to build the bridge on the bank, stepped on the stone camel, and went downstream.

Luban crossed the camel and went down to the Shichuan lower river section, saw that the mouth of the Great Gorge was narrow, and it was an ideal place for a bridge, just when he collected the camel to observe, it was found by the people on the shore, people flocked to it, Luban saw this, had no choice but to abandon the camel and float away, so, only a stone camel was left in the middle of the big river, like a mainstay, standing in the rapids and immovable, the descendants used the head and neck of the stone camel, the double peak, set up this small bridge, in order to prevent the stone camel from escaping and causing the small bridge to collapse, and built a Luban temple by the bridge, But according to legend, Luban was floated away, so although this temple is called Luban Temple, there is no Luban in it, only an axe, which is used as Luban's tool! ”

Wei Qing laughed secretly in his heart when he heard this, thinking that these people actually took such legends seriously, and they were so seriously afraid that the bridge would collapse, but it was also funny, he immediately arched his hand and said: "It turns out that this is the case, it is really of great significance, and I will ask you again in the next step, and immediately send the silver taels donated by repairing this temple to the old man!" ”

The old man heard that Wei Qing meant to let him be responsible for the money, and he was happy in his heart, and he didn't pursue the matter of paving the bridge deck with the door panel, and nodded again and again: "So good, so good!" ”

Wei Qing saw that the Han army was almost over, and immediately said goodbye to the people and crossed the bridge.

Nearby, the ranks of the Han army were bustling, and they were forming from the whole team, and in the distance, the smoke and dust were rising, faintly, the ranks of the Jin army were already approaching, and if they were a little late, they were afraid that the Han army would be divided from the front and rear.

"Queue, queue!" There was a sound of soldiers "lining up" in all directions, and all the generals, big and small, were busy preparing before and after.

Wei Qing's heart was also a little nervous.

This was the first time he commanded 250,000 troops to fight against the 200,000 people of the Jin Army, and the significance of this battle was not only strategic and tactical, but also morale.

The left army continued to win in the hands of Wei Qing, which raised the morale of the Han army, but after all, every battle was won by calculation, so the fear of the strength of the Jin army was not eliminated, which can be seen from the discussion of several Dingyuan generals to deal with the enemy, no one thought of attacking, and none of them dared to put forward a tough proposal, so this battle, the Han army must win, if it is not won, it is a very huge blow to morale.

A burst of aroma came from her side, and Zhao Yueru came to Wei Qing's side.

"Why are you here!" Wei Qingwei was a little reproachful, now is the busiest time for armaments, Zhao Yueru is indeed a little inappropriate to come at this time.

Zhao Yueru was not angry, but looked at the smoke and dust in front of her: "I'm worried about you, you say, can you win this battle!" ”

A warmth swelled in Wei Qing's heart.

Although Zhao Yueru is worried or not, nothing will change, but there is one person who is worried about himself, Wei Qing's heart is still very happy, he also looked at the Jin army team that gradually became clear in the distance and replied: "This time, we will win!" ”

Zhao Yueru looked at Wei Qing with a pair of beautiful big eyes, with both admiration and admiration in her eyes: "So confident!" ”

Wei Qing smiled and pointed to the Jin Army lineup in the distance: "They told me!" ”

Zhao Yueru shook her head slightly, she didn't deny it, but she didn't understand.

Wei Qing turned his face and looked at Zhao Yueru: "Yueru, do you know the story of the Chu State Doctor Dou Bobi who sent Qu Bin to the expedition during the Warring States Period!" ”

Zhao Yueru said with a smile: "How would I know about such a strange thing!" ”

"Not obscure at all!" Wei Qing replied, he looked around, and saw that the Han army had already lined up the formation, but the Jin army was still walking unhurriedly, knowing that the next step was to wait for the Jin army to arrive, so he said to Zhao Yueru: "During the Warring States Period, Mo Ao Qu Bian, who was in charge of the military and political affairs of the Chu State, led the army to fight against the coalition forces of the vassal states such as Yun, Sui, and Tate, in the city of Pusao of the Yun State. But the people's hearts are not aligned, the fighting spirit is not strong, as long as the Yun State is defeated, the entire alliance will fall apart, he suggested to concentrate forces to quickly break through Pusao, Qu Fang adopted Doulian's suggestion, stormed Pusao, and won a complete victory, this is the famous "Battle of Pusao".

However, Qu Fang did not have self-knowledge, and counted the merits of others on himself, so he became proud, thinking that he was a victorious general, and from then on he did not regard any enemy.

Two years later, the king of Chu sent Qu Bin to lead the army to attack the country of Luo, and on the day of the division, Qu Bin was draped all over his body, bid farewell to the officials who saw him off, and then boarded the gorgeous chariot and walked away majestically.

When the doctor who saw him off, Dou Bobby, he said to Yute: "Mo Ao is going to lose the battle this time, do you look at his arrogant appearance, can he still calmly and correctly command the battle?" ”

The more Dou Bobi thought about it, the more inappropriate he felt, so he ordered the royal hand to drive to the palace and ask to see the king of Chu, who suggested that the king of Chu increase the army for Qu Bian, but the king of Chu did not agree.

When Qu Fang arrived at the front line, he was even more unstoppable, and even ordered the army to "punish those who dare to admonish", which was arbitrary and arbitrary to the extreme.

When the Chu army came to the capital of Luoguo, the other party had already prepared for battle, and Qu Fang didn't care, but the troops were stationed everywhere and were not on guard at all.

The Luo army and Lu Xiang's army attacked fiercely, and the Chu army immediately broke up, suffering heavy casualties, Qu Fang rode a chariot, fled in embarrassment, and the arrogant appearance when he set out for the expedition was long gone.

Qu Bin fled to a place called Huanggu in the territory of Chu State, and found that he was alone, so he was not sad and hanged himself! ”

Remember to read it: convenient for next time, or.
