Chapter 22: Old Things
Di Baohe once again recounted the tragic events of sixteen years ago. Zhang Daiyan is a righteous man in her eyes, after being arrested, he never confessed, preserved the brothers all over the place, and finally awe-inspiring righteousness, Judas laughed and scolded on the execution ground, towering like a god......
Su Xiaocai also gradually understood, it turned out that the peasant uprising led by Zhang Daiyan was mainly active in the Taihang area, and they actually did not pose any substantial harm to the people of the Great Song Dynasty. On the contrary, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are relatively wealthy in the Liao State, where a large number of Khitan nobles live, and they often carefully plan to loot some Khitan nobles and then retreat into the mountains......
The Khitan people are good at field warfare, horse warfare, and fighting in the mountains, and they are far from being the opponents of many bandits, and the Khitan people have been living comfortably with the founding of the country for a long time, and their combat power has become weaker and weaker......
Zhang Daiyan has been based in Taihang for many years with his righteous temperament, strong martial arts, and excellent leadership ability, and gradually has the ability to respond to every call, and many mountain bandit leaders are willing to listen to Zhang Daiyan's orders!
Although the Great Song Dynasty is weak, they also know the stakes, they are willing to watch the Taihang Mountain full of scattered bandits, it is good to cause chaos to the Khitans, but they must not indulge these people to unite and form a force strong enough to even threaten the Great Song Dynasty!
So, the Great Song Dynasty couldn't sit still, and sent heavy troops to unite with the Khitans and began to suppress bandits......
The Song people are not good at horse warfare, but the equipment is advanced, they use advanced bed crossbows, earth-shaking thunder, etc., and soon disperse the combination of bandits on the 72nd road of Taihang Mountain, forcing Zhang Daiyan to retreat to a river valley, ambushed by the Khitan soldiers, thousands of cavalry galloped like thunder, and quickly dispersed Zhang Daiyan's formation, killed a large number of bandits, and also captured Zhang Daiyan's family alive, handed over to the Song people to dispose of......
At that time, in order to preserve their strength, Zhang Daiyan's bandits fled in six ways, except for Zhang Daiyan and the other roads were destroyed, and the remaining four roads escaped this catastrophe, but Taihang had been occupied, and there was nowhere to go at that time, so they were scattered all over the place!
Zhang Daiyan was escorted to Tokyo, tortured, and the last of the family was beheaded...... But this person is indeed a man, and he doesn't even admit that he rebelled, insisting that he is just fighting against Liao in Taihang!
As for the others who escaped, Zhang Daiyan didn't say a word and kept these brothers......
It is because these people deeply feel Zhang Daiyan's high righteousness, and they want to try to preserve Zhang Daiyan's flesh and blood...... is the Zhang Qiqi in front of him, who in Su Xiaocai's opinion, is enough to captivate the country and the city......
"How can you become Qiqi's vocal teacher with such a voice?"
"Vocal teacher?"
"It's the master who teaches playing and singing......"
But that's just the way it is! On the ground in Tokyo, all the solfège horns are my disciples! ”
"Huh? Terrible! ”
Zhang Qiqi interjected: "My master was the first to sing in the capital very early, but it's a pity that she swallowed the coals and burned her throat dumbly......"
"Huh? Why? "Su Xiaocai has read some books, and he also knows the determination of the ancients, swallowing charcoal, it seems that during the Warring States Period, there was a person named Yu Rang, who did this. Yu Rang was known to Zhibo. Zhao Xiangzi killed Zhibo, and Zhibo's guest Yu Rang plotted to assassinate Zhao Xiangzi, which was known. Yu Rang painted his body again, extinguished his eyebrows, and punished himself to change his appearance. Begging for the sake of the beggars. His wife didn't know, and said: The appearance is not like my husband, and his voice is even worse than my husband. and swallowed carbon dumb, and changed its sound. waited for an opportunity to assassinate Zhao Xiangzi, but later failed and died.
I didn't expect a woman in front of me to do such a decisive thing!
"As soon as Zhang Daiyan dies, who else will I sing to!" Di Baohe smiled sadly.
"Do you mean that when he dies, you swallow charcoal and make yourself dumb?"
"Yes! I'm just his person......"
Su Xiaocai was not interested in knowing how this original famous corner of the capital and a bandit leader in the Taihang Mountains far away in the border area met and formed a relationship...... I just admired this Di Baohe's determination in my heart!
Sixteen years ago, I was also a celebrity in the capital, and it was most convenient to be able to contact all kinds of people and spy on the movements of the imperial court, but unfortunately the most critical time, it was a eunuch who led the troops! This person is scheming, tight-lipped, secretly dispatches troops, and does not know the ghosts......"
As soon as Di Baohe added this, Su Xiaocai also understood, it turned out that she was Zhang Daiyan's spies in the capital! It seems that Zhang Daiyan is indeed still a material for doing things, but it's a pity that the horse stumbled, otherwise there might be a little noise and leave a mark in history!
"Who is Zhang Daiyan, now I understand, what I want to know now is the four verses of 'River Out of Stranger', which was originally the dying words of Master Huipu's master, that is, the man and monk of Xiangguo Temple, how do you know?"
"What Master Huipu, what a fellow monk! The one in Xiangguo Temple is actually just one of the four people who escaped from Zhang Daiyan's subordinates back then, and the leader of the people all the way is called Zhang Daishan, a cousin of Zhang Daiyan, this person is good at scheming, but he is cowardly, and he has always been Zhang Daiyan's think tank! He held the money that Zhang Daiyan had hidden for many years, and after the defeat, he sneaked into the Daxiangguo Temple to hide for some reason! The people in their hands are also scattered all over the place, and then I don't know why I got involved with the craftsmen of the world, and secretly formed a 'Five Elements Gate', or there is a plot......"
"Speaking of which, you're all in the same group, huh?" Su Xiaocai felt that his brain was a little burning.
"Zhang Daishan, an old thief, didn't pass on the treasure to his niece Qiqi when he was dying, but actually passed it on to his apprentice, the Huipu master in your mouth! In fact, this person is just a mischievous gangster in Tokyo, and for some reason he has won the trust of the old thief! The old thief said that 'River Out of the Stranger' was actually earlier than the dying verse, and when he died, he added 'River Out of the Stranger' to his verse! The old thief was still in touch with me back then, talking about his plans for the future, saying that Qiqi and a girl can't do anything, the way of heaven will change, and one day there will be an outlier in Bianhe, which should be in one person, and this person will come out, and he must pull over and bring everyone to make it happen...... Later, I thought that as long as this Yiren and Qiqi marry and give birth to offspring, they will have Daiyan's blood and bones! Therefore, I also agreed to find 'the river out of the stranger', I thought that it should be other visions, it should be in people, but I didn't expect that a person really came out of the river......"
