Volume 1 The Beginning of the Late Han Dynasty Chapter 38

In the early morning, Yan Qing went to the back hall of the county to see Song Shijiang alone. Not long after Song Shijiang got up, he was wearing short clothes for morning exercise in the small courtyard in front of the hall, lying on the ground doing push-ups, and when he saw Yan Qing, he stood up and smiled: "Xiao Yi, here." ”

Yan Qing smiled and said, "Brother Gongming, how are you like this?" If it is an itchy technique, you can go to the martial arts arena to practice with the brothers. Xiao Yi has just come over from the martial arts arena, and it is very lively every day. ”

Song Shijiang stretched his body and said with a smile: "I don't go, the brothers are very handsome with their hands and feet, and they are smiling with their hands and feet." ”

"Brother can go today, then Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong went to the martial arts arena with Xiao Yi early in the morning, presumably the martial arts arena is really lively now."

"Oh, I'm going to go today. Those brute brains all want to compete with Zhao Yun and try their own pounds. Xiao B, I have something important to talk to you about, wait a minute, I will change my clothes first and talk to you while walking. ”

Before long, Song Shijiang came out dressed and rode a horse with Yan Qing to the martial arts arena.

"Xiao Yi, I was in a hurry yesterday and didn't ask in detail, how is the spy camp arranged?" Song Shijiang asked Yan Qingdao, who was walking side by side.

"Brother Gongming knows that Xiao Yi plans to set up people in the thirteen states of the world, that is, the secret service camp is divided into thirteen halls. Now Yan, Qing, Hebei, Henan, Xu, Jing, and Sili and other eight prefectures and counties have arranged for Xiaoyi. It's a pity that Shudi is too far away from Jiangdong, and the whip can't reach it, so it has to be laid out slowly. Yan Qing said with the reins of the horse in her hand.

"Very good, it has been arranged quickly, beyond my expectations, Xiao Yi is doing things to reassure me." Song Shijiang said with a smile, "Say an opinion, Luoyang." Our advantages are to know the world's opportunities, so after the princes cut down Dong, Dong Zhuo will burn Luoyang and move to Chang'an, you and I must do our best to save Luoyang, so that we can have peace of mind. Xiao Yi, have you made any arrangements in Luoyang? ”

"Back to my brother, since Xiao Yi entered the Han Dynasty, he and his military advisors and brothers have carefully pondered the history of the Later Han Dynasty, and every time they talk about this Dong Zhuo's burning of Jinque, they all sigh and hate. In Luoyang, Xiao Yi had already sent Sun Xingu's aunt to infiltrate; Chang'an also sent Zhu Fu to be stationed, but he could contact him in time if there was an incident. ”

"Very good, after today, you will also go to Luoyang to stay, bring more people, carry out affairs, and contact a certain person at any time. You have to hook up with those ministers in Luoyang as much as possible. This difficulty is there, Xiao Yi, I am inferior to my name, and those so-called ministers are not easy to speak. This operation is codenamed 'Luoyang'. You can think about which ministers we can befriend, which people we can use, and which celebrities and treasures should be saved. For example, the young emperor may be poisoned by Dong Zhuo next year, can he be saved? And the jade seal may be snatched away by that Yuan Shu next year, can you find it earlier? Of course, these can't be forced, we don't have such a big ability at present, we only do what we can, and we just provide some ideas. Oh...... Of course, the 'treasure hunt' continues. ”

Yan Qing chuckled: "Brother Gongming, your thoughts are quite new. Each action has a code name. ”

"Isn't that for clarity? Haha, let's go, go to the martial arts arena. Song Shijiang laughed, grabbed the horse's back, and said, "If you don't go, I'm afraid those brute brains are going to fight." ”

When I arrived at the martial arts arena, I saw a large group of brothers gathered in the middle from a distance, and when I got closer, I saw two generals standing across horses and guns. One of them, a white horse and a silver gun, is dressed in white, which one is not Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong. Zhao Yun's eyes lit up, and when he saw Song Shijiang and Yan Qing riding their horses, he showed a warm smile and hugged his fists and said, "I have seen Song County Order, Brother Xiaoyi." ”

The rest of the Liangshan heroes also saw Song Shijiang, and they all clasped their fists and shouted: "I've seen the lord." Nalu Zhishen had never ridden a horse, and the cold sky was bare-chested, revealing flower embroidery and the thick and hairy tendon flesh, and he dragged the iron Zen staff in his hand and said loudly: "Brother, it is really rare to come to the martial arts arena today." ”

Song Shijiang came with a horse and said with a smile: "I came to see you." I heard you're competing? Did you win? He seemed to answer Lu Zhishen, but his eyes were actually looking at the knight riding a white horse, wearing armor and holding two spears in the field.

"No, I didn't." The knight put his guns together, bowed his hand to Song Shijiang, and said embarrassedly. Needless to say, those who hold two guns, Dong Ping is also a two-gun general.

"If you didn't, that means you're not convinced? Zilong, you will fight a dozen today, so that some of these brute brains can see your martial arts. A guest came to sit and stroll around with us. Song Shijiang scolded hatefully.

Lu Zhishen laughed and shouted: "Brother, don't listen to Brother Dong Ping's nonsense, you are late, the two of them have already had a fight, and it is exciting." ”

"So who won?" Song Shijiang was actually a little curious.

"Hahaha" All the generals laughed and looked at Dong Ping teasingly. Dong Pingjun's face was a little red and he didn't answer.

Here, Zhao Yun arched his hand and smiled: "Back to the Song County Order, General Dong and Zilong have been fighting for dozens of rounds just now, and they are really strong in martial arts, which makes Zilong admire." It's not about winning or losing. ”

"Oh" Song Shijiang nodded, and said with a smile: "General Dong, it's normal for brave generals to learn from each other, it's okay, it's okay, anyway, there is no one to win or lose." But ......" Song Shijiang paused, looked at Dong Ping meaningfully and said, "You have to tell my brother if you have beaten or not, you say yes or no." ”

Dong Ping's face turned even redder, he bit his mouth, dismounted and bowed, and said: "Lord, Dong Ping is reckless, deceiving his brother, please punish my brother." ”

Song Shijiang shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not that serious, just tell my brother next time." He looked around and said, "What's the matter, who still wants to compete with General Zhao Yun?" ”

The generals scattered in a hurry and said: "I still have to train military horses, and I don't have time." "One by one, they ran away.

Yan Qing's joking heart rose and shouted, "Whoever wants to fight me for three hundred rounds yesterday, come here." Li Kui's reply came from afar, "Xiao Yi, I still have to train military horses today, and I don't have time." Tomorrow, tomorrow I will fight you for 300 rounds. Haha"

Song Shijiang looked at the brothers who ran away, and even heard Li Kui's shouting, he couldn't help laughing, and said to Zhao Yun with his fists: "Zilong, a certain brother is reckless, I'm afraid there is no collision, I have to forgive me." In fact, they are all upright men, and they don't have much heart, they just want to know your level. Behind him, Yan Qing also hugged his fists and saluted Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun had already gotten off the white horse, and he returned the salute and said: "The Song County Order doesn't have to be like this, in fact, Zhao Yun likes these generals very much, straightforward and heroic, loyal and brave, and each of them is also strong in martial arts." Fang Cai just looked for a certain play. Zhao Yun was very happy to stay in such a military camp. ”

After a pause, Zhao Yun smiled, and his clear voice sounded again: "Song County Order, Zhao Yun has a discovery, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

"Oh, Zilong, but let's talk about it."

"Zhao Yun has a divine object in the general's military horses, and the end is to improve combat power." He looked at the mounts of Jiang Yanqing and others in Song Shi, and said with a smile, "Yun and General Dong Ping attacked each other, and found that its lower plate was more stable than Yun, presumably it was the credit of this thing." ”

"Zilong is really good eyesight, and some small objects have been discovered by you." Song Jiang already knew that Zhao Yun was talking about stirrups. This little thing is inconspicuous, ordinary people can't pay attention to it at all, and Song Shijiang also issued an order to keep it strictly secret, but Zhao Yun has already discovered it in just two days.

The general praised it. Where my cavalry needs to share the energy to clamp the horses, the battle is mostly piercing, stabbing, chopping, splitting, smashing, but the general's command, including General Dong Ping, can actually charge with a gun with one hand, which is not a good strength and good martial arts. At that time, such a charger was an enemy of 10,000 people, and Sui Yun noticed it. Zhao Yun explained with a smile.

"General Song, this is a great change of the times, Yun can't imagine, the grand scene of tens of millions of cavalry charging with guns is ghostly." Zhao Yun's eyes were full of infinite envy.

Song Jiang laughed and said, "Zilong, if Zilong comes, the leader of this cavalry is none other than Zilong." Zilong, I will immediately ask someone to put on your white horse with stirrups and horseshoes, which is the divine object you said, and you can perceive it yourself. Don't tell anyone. ”

"General Xie is very loving, General Xie is grateful." Zhao Yun was also extremely happy to see that he could improve his combat power, and bowed down to say. He was even more grateful to Song Jiang for his great trust and trust. He also wanted to be able to lead an invincible cavalry to gallop the world one day, but he just looked at it and endured it, Zhao Yun secretly reminded himself.

While he was talking, the Shenxing Taibao Dai Zong Fenghuo Shen Xing came and shouted loudly: "Lord, it turns out that you are here, let me find it easily." Cao Cao sent a message to discuss Dong! He held a roll of cloth in both hands.

Song Shijiang was overjoyed and hurriedly took it over to see. The text said:

"Cao and I would like to announce to the world with great righteousness: Dong Zhuo deceived the heavens and the earth, destroyed the country and killed the king; Corrupt official bans and mutilate living beings; Wolves are unkind, and sins are accumulated. Today, under the secret edict of the Son of Heaven, a large number of volunteers were gathered, vowing to sweep away China and kill the murderers. Wangxing righteous teachers, venting public anger; Support the royal family and save the people. When the text arrives, it can be pursued quickly! ”

Song Shijiang shouted: "All the generals, don't disperse, come here." As soon as everyone came back, Song Shijiang raised his hand and shouted: "Brothers, Cao Cao's text is in a certain hand, and the time has come for us to march into Luoyang, crusade against Dong thief, and make contributions." I ordered the battalions to reorganize their horses and set out for the eastern county in a few days. ”

"Yes!" The generals shouted in unison, and they were all very excited.

Song Shijiang arranged again: "Dai Zong, quickly send people to Shouzhang and Liangshan." Xuanshou Zhang Lu Junyi and Gongsun Sheng led the fifth battalion of Zhang Qing's horse army, the sixth battalion of Suo Chao, the seventh battalion of Shi Jin, the eighth battalion of Mu Hong, the third battalion of Liu Tangbu's army, and the fourth battalion of Yang Xiong Shixiu to converge in Fan County. The Shou Zhang Lei Heng garrison battalion strictly guarded Shou Zhang, and the Ling Zhen firearms blasting battalion assisted in the defense. The Yang Zhi garrison battalion of Liangshan was ordered to strictly guard Liangshan, and the three battalions of Li Jun's water army assisted in the defense. ”

Dai Zong arched his hand and shouted, "Obey." He once again cast the Great Law of Divine Practice, and the wind and fire hurried away.

In the afternoon, five miles outside the gate of the east city of Fan County, Song Shijiang stopped his horse with a "call", smiled and stared at Da Qiao, who had been riding a little red horse on his side, and said: "Two little generals, Song Mou is only sent here, the director of the war is very important, everything is busy, and Song has to arrange them one by one." Da Qiao was covered in the cloak of snow-white mink fur embedded in the big red embroidery, his head bowed, still silent. Xiao Qiao on the side was very excited, and said crisply: "Song County Order, it's already five miles, go back." My sister and I will go back. ”

Song Shijiang looked at Xiao Qiao and said with a smile: "Fan'er, what's the matter, I helped your Xiaobai with stirrups, and there are a lot of horseshoes?" ”

Xiao Qiao smiled and said: "This stirrup is really good, the horseshoe fan doesn't know yet." However, if you put shoes on Xiaobai, it must be more comfortable. Thank you, Brother Prefectural. ”

Song Shijiang said with a smile: "No thanks, no thanks, they all call me the county commander, and I won't help you." Then Song took his leave. Please tell Father Ling, in the near future, Song will lead the army to gather with Taishou to defeat Dong thieves! Leave. ”

Song Shijiang greeted the silent Da Qiao again: "General Qiao, farewell, Song will go back to reorganize the army, and see you again in a few days." Then he pulled up and got off the green horse, turned around, and went to Fan County.

Mercedes didn't take a hundred steps, but I heard Da Qiao's clear singing voice over there:

"Angry hair rushes to the crown, leaning on the railing, Xiaoxiao rain rests.

Raise your eyes, look up to the sky and roar, strong and fierce.

Twenty merits, dust and earth, three thousand miles of clouds and moons.

Don't wait for the young man's head to be white, empty and sad.

Shame in the middle, still snow;

When the courtiers hate, when will they be destroyed!

Driving a long car to break through the lack of Helan Mountain.

Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Xiongnu blood.

Wait to clean up the old mountains and rivers from the beginning, facing the sky. ”

Song Shijiang couldn't help but stop his horse steps and sang loudly. One is clear, the other is low; One is sad and tactful, the other is impassioned. The song lingers in the air, lingering with each other, merging together, and spreading far, far away.
