Volume 1 The Beginning of the Late Han Dynasty Chapter 45 Yan Qing Enters Luoyang
"Alright, alright." Song Shijiang saw that the fight between the two was too fierce, if the fight continued, it would be difficult to control, and if there was an injury, it would not be good, so he hurriedly shouted, "The fight is over, that's it." The two generals stopped, stopped. ”
Lin Chong listened to the shouting of the lord, so he put down the spear that was already being raised side by side, and said with a smile: "General Zhang, worthy of the general of the tiger and bear, Lin Chong is willing to bow down." ”
"I haven't won or lost yet, Brother Lin Chong, I'll continue." Zhang Fei was disgusted again, he felt that he had just finished warming up.
"The Lord's decree is not daring to disobey." Lin Chong turned his spear and said with a smile, "If there is a chance, you and I will fight again." ”
"You've been fighting twice, but you haven't played yet, Brother Zhang Fei, how about you also try it out with you?" Suddenly, a thunderous voice sounded, and the tower-like body of Dian Wei walked out and shouted at Zhang Fei.
"I, Dong Ping, am also willing to compete with General Zhang." The young and vigorous Dong Ping saw that everyone stood up, and completely forgot the embarrassment of challenging Zhao Yun before, and also shouted, he is not to be left behind, what the "Merry Prince" wants is to become famous.
At this time, Liu Bei turned out of Guan Yu behind his back, and he said in a deep voice: "The third brother of a certain family has already fought two games in a row, if you want to compete again, generals, why don't you fight with Guan." ”
Liu Bei looked at it, this is not good, if it goes on like this, it will become a martial arts competition, I originally came to make an alliance, and if the competition continues, it will inevitably hurt the harmony. He smiled and said: "The competition is only for the sake of the banquet, and such a competition is not considered a hero; Break Luoyang and capture Dong Zhuo, Fang is a hero. Today, the monarchs have tried a little, and they have proved to be brave, and they hope that in the future, the two families will advance and retreat together, fight the enemy together, kill the enemy, and make meritorious deeds together. Now, the generals should go back to the camp with Beibei and drink and drink. ”
Song Shijiang also glared at his generals and scolded: "What do you mean? General Liu and the three of them came to get married, not to compete. To fight, fight on the battlefield; It is necessary to compare, win or lose on the battlefield, see who kills more enemies, and see who has made great achievements. Don't embarrass someone here. Go back, give it all to so-and-so. Those who want to eat continue to eat, and those who don't want to eat go back to their camp, and tomorrow they will have nothing to eat. ”
Seeing that the eldest brother in the lead was angry, the generals had no choice but to retreat, and once again entered the big tent of the Chinese army and drank bitterly. Dian Wei raised the wine jar, poured a few sips, wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeves, and said to Zhang Fei: "Brother Zhang, the lord is in charge of it today, Dian Mou has no time to compete, and next time there will be no less so-and-so." ”
There are two flowers, one on each branch. However, it was said that Song Shijiang led his heroes and heroes to participate in the alliance of the princes of the Twenty Roads, and the prodigal son Yanqing hurried to Luoyang after meeting Song Shijiang again after the New Year.
The water of the Yellow River comes from the sky, goes to the east, and condenses a pearl-like city along the way, and Luoyang is the most brilliant one. This Luoyang mountains and rivers are victorious, water and land to rush, west of Qinlong, north of Youyan, south of Jianghuai, east to the lower plain, is the center of the world, is the main birthplace of Chinese civilization, ancient Chinese emperor Yu, Tang Yao, Yu Shun, Xia Yu and other myths, spread here. Emperor Yu capital Xi'an, Xia Taikang moved the capital to the west, Shang Tang Dingdu Xi'an; King Wu fell, and eight hundred princes would meet Mengjin; Zhou Gong assisted the government and moved Jiuding to Luoyi. King Ping moved eastward, and Gaozu Duluo. After the Han Dynasty since the beginning of Emperor Guangwu's restoration of the Han Dynasty, the capital was also built here, which has gone through more than 160 years.
Such a resort, how can it not be prosperous and precious. Decades ago, the hermit Liang Hong made "Five Fathoms", "The north of the north is mangxi, oh." Gu Zhan Emperor Jingxi, oh. Gong Que Cui Weixi, wow. It is to express emotion for the whole picture of the capital Luoyang. The poet climbs the Beibi Mountain, condescendingly, the prosperous Luoyang City is in full view, especially the emperor's palace, which is magnificent in scale, majestic and magnificent, and the golden wall is brilliant.
When Yan Qing arrived in Luoyang City, it was the fourteenth day of the first month, and at this time, the news of the princes' alliance in Chen Liuhui had not yet reached Luoyang City. But look at this Luoyang family, every house is lively, every household is noisy, and there are countless wine shops and tea shops; The characters came and went, one after another.
Yan Qing had no intention or intention of browsing more, and sighed in his heart that such a prosperous scene would disappear into scorched earth in a few months, and he hurriedly asked all the way, and went straight to a small hotel in the east of the city. When I entered the small hotel, there were few drinkers at the beginning of the New Year, except for a thick woman sitting on the counter. Yan Qing stepped forward and said with a smile: "Big lady, let's sell a few corners of wine." ”
The woman was sitting on the counter bored, but when she heard Yan Qing speak, she looked up, and suddenly showed a look of surprise, and grinned: "Guest officer, take a seat in the back, please." ”
As soon as she entered the back hall, the thick woman said, "Brother Yanqing, why did you come to Luoyang?" After a while, I'll call the second brother and the brothers Lehe, and the two of them are playing outside. "It turns out that this woman is the deputy general of the special service battalion, the mother of the big worm Gu's sister-in-law, and the second brother is naturally the little lieutenant Chi Sun Xin, and his husband and wife were arranged by Yan Qing to establish a stronghold in Luoyang before.
After a while, the two followed Sister-in-law Gu into the back hall. The person in front of him is seven feet tall, with a thin waist and broad shoulders, and a short beard on his face, it is Chi Sun Xin, the little lieutenant, but the one behind is young and delicate, it turned out to be an iron called Zi Lehe, and the two bowed down together and said: "I have seen Brother Yanqing." ”
Yan Qing smiled and said, "Two elder brothers, don't be so polite, everyone is a brother." ”
Sun Xin said with a smile: "Brother Yanqing is the commander of my spy battalion, and etiquette is indispensable, you see that it is difficult to change the title of me, and if there is no etiquette, there will be no up and down." ”
Well, Yan Qing also accepted this gift, and he said: "Brothers, don't gossip, I have a long way to go." My brother couldn't bear to be so prosperous and Kyoto was destroyed in a burn, and the houses of the Zongmiao Mansion were all scorched, so he sent me to unify the plan, and do my best to save some of them. ”
"Brother Yanqing, but I ordered to come, I will wait to do it, saving people and saving the city is all about building that floating massacre." Sister-in-law Gu is a warm-hearted and kind woman, and she hurriedly said after hearing this.
"I don't have a charter at the moment, and Brother Song Jiang didn't send me a hard task, so he said that he would do my best to save it. Saving some is a credit, so you might as well discuss it. Yan Qing also just arrived in the capital, although she thought about it all the way, she didn't have a clear idea.
"Brother Xiaoyi, sister, brother-in-law, I have a little thought, I don't know if it is suitable or not." Later, Tie called Zile He was also a smart and clever person, he thought for a while, and then spoke.
"Brother Lehe, that's it."
"Say it and my brothers know. The key to the task given to us by Brother Song Jiang is one word: save. I'll just keep an eye on this saving word. First, to save the city; second, to save people; Third, rescue. ”
"Yes, Brother Le and Brother said that my heart has gone up." The warm-hearted sister-in-law Gu listened to it happily, and her thinking immediately broadened, and she said, "I have only a few people, the ability is weak, Dong Zhuo is strong, and there are many generals, we must not be able to stop the inertia of history, and Dong Zhuo can't resist the burning of the city and the relocation." But we can do it with advance notice and first aid afterwards. ”
"Notice? Can I notify that? Even if it is notified, can it be useful? Such a big event, even if the ministers knew about it, it was useless to oppose Dong Zhuo, in history, Dong Zhuo killed thousands of rich families in Luoyang in the name of investigating the 'anti-minister and anti-party', and the people refused to emigrate but cut them all. The lieutenant was worried and retorted to his mother-in-law.
"Yes, brothers." Yan Qing's clear-eyed face was also solemn, he listened to the discussion of the brothers, and also said, "Yes, it's too difficult, Dong Thief is powerful, it's really difficult for us to make waves." But I must be saved, even if I die. Before leaving, Brother Song Jiang told Xiao Yi that only after saving these people who know the opportunity can we have peace of mind, can we live in the world with a calm face, and can we fight for the world with those heroes with their waists. How to plan, Xiao Yi continued to think on the basis of what his brothers said, we need to operate like this...... "On this day, the street outside the small hotel was brightly lit and pedestrians were weaving; The small hotel was also brightly lit, and the four of them talked about it for a long, long time in the back hall.
On the day, that is, the Lantern Festival, the sky is clear, it is the afternoon, and the six streets and three cities, the streets and alleys, have already been competing for lanterns and lighting the fire. I saw that no matter the small door, in front of the house, set up a lantern shed, hang lanterns, and count them. There are all kinds of lights, there are ribbon-cutting flying white peony lanterns, there are lotus hibiscus and pedicle lanterns, there are horse lanterns, there are many stories painted on the lanterns, although it is daytime, it is much more lively than last night.
Yan Qing rested for a few hours, and also changed her outfit and took Le He out of the hotel. I saw him wearing a soap scarf on his head, a light blue satin coat, a blue and blue belt around his waist, a pair of black boots on a white background, holding the jade flute, with red lips and white teeth, clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he was a beautiful son. And Na Lehe is also dressed as an elegant son, with a scarf on his head, and a plain Confucian shirt, although he is not as handsome and chic as Yan Qing, he is also elegant and humble.
There are more people on the streets. Not to mention those who are entertainers, diviners, fortune tellers, etc.; Not to mention those vendors who sell melons, fruits, snacks, snacks, and decorative women's red toys; Even those princes and grandsons and gentlemen also called friends to accompany them, and the freshly dressed and angry horses went back and forth; Even those ladies and girls who don't leave home in the past few days are rare to come out in groups with their girlfriends.
Lehe took Yan Qing all the way, but the passers-by were crowded, and it took more than half an hour to reach the destination. The two of them came to the door of a house, only to see that the mansion covers a wide area, it is very magnificent, the two stone lions at the door stand majestically, one side is neatly arranged with many dismounted stones, the door is painted vermilion lacquer with animal head rings, there are door lamps, there are lazy stools under it, there are rooms on both sides, a large plaque is hung in the middle, and the dragon and phoenix dance are inscribed with two big characters of "Wangfu".
