Chapter Ninety-Three: The Jinyang of the Zhao Clan

Zhao Ying calculated that the time had come, so he shouted to the Zhao family soldiers: "Arrange the formation and prepare to attack the mountain for me." At this time, a scout sent by Zhao Ying to the mountain pass ran over to report urgently: "Report, lord, a large number of men and horses rushed down from the mountain, and they all carried weapons with them. ”

"What, what a big boldness, how many of them are there?" Zhao Ying asked.

"It's too far away to see clearly, and it's estimated that there are thousands of people."

Zhao Ying saw that his family had only more than 600 soldiers, and he had to face thousands of people head-on, and the chances of winning were slim. Fortunately, if he is willing to help, even if the other party has twice as many people, it is not worrying, and it is not certain who will win and who will lose. Zhao Ying looked around again, but he didn't find Zhan Wuxian's figure, where did he go, I haven't seen him for a while.

"What about Mr. Zhan, what about Mr. Zhan?" Zhao Yan asked.

His soldiers all shook their heads, indicating that they did not know.

Zhao Yingxin said: "At this time, Mr. Zhan won't give me a game missing." Anyway, let's deal with the current urgency first. So Zhao Ying asked, "How many crossbows do we have?" ”

"Two hundred and two picks, each with twenty-one crossbow arrows."

"Almost. Now while the Donghu people have not yet reached the foot of the mountain, the foothold is not stable, the two Bai and the two famous crossbowmen occupy the high ground on both sides of the road leading to the hanging urn mountain as quickly as possible, and when the Hu people pass, you listen to my orders, and then shoot all the crossbow arrows in the shortest possible time, and in the end, if anyone still has an arrow in their hand, my military law will deal with it, do you understand? ”

"Whoa!" Afterwards, the two soldiers divided into two groups and headed towards the high ground on both sides of the Hanging Urn Mountain Road.

Zhao Ying said to the other soldiers: "Brothers, you follow me to the intersection of the mountain road to set up a formation and block the escape path of the Donghu people. This battle, the Donghu people were eliminated, and the north of Jinshui really belonged to the Jin Kingdom, and when the time came, not only the Zhao family would be rewarded, but I would also ask the king for a reward for the brothers. ”

"Swear allegiance to the lord, swear allegiance to the lord......" Zhao Ying's family soldiers shouted in unison. Although these soldiers have high morale, as the commander-in-chief, Zhao Ying is still a little uncertain in his heart: Where did Mr. Zhan go?

At this time, the weather changed suddenly, dark clouds were thick, sand and rocks were flying, and the sky seemed to suddenly change from day to night, and the visible things became more and more blurred. Suddenly, a sharp flash flashed, Zhao Ying saw that the Hu people's team had reached the foot of the mountain, and they obviously also saw Zhao Ying, and another sharp flash, the Hu people's team began to approach the ambush circle. Zhao Ying pulled out his sword and raised it, the sword body looked even more cold in the dim sky, the third sharp flash flashed, the head of the Hu team had entered the ambush circle, their speed was accelerating, from which Zhao Ying saw three familiar figures, they were not detained, Zhao Ying suddenly felt that something was wrong, the fourth sharp flash flashed again, Zhao Ying's face was clearer, the lightning disappeared, and suddenly in the darkness there were two green lights rushing towards Zhao Ying, Zhao Ying subconsciously leaned over to hide, but it was too late, Zhao Ying shouted: "Don't ......" A bright light flashed, and his body was knocked out more than ten feet away by a huge furry thing, and at the same time, the sword fell to the ground, and then the sound of a bow and crossbow shooting, the sound of raindrops falling, and the sound of someone being injured and screaming. Zhao Ying's eyes closed and opened, opened and closed, the rain blurred his vision, and he shouted with his last strength: "Don't ......" and then he couldn't hear anything, saw nothing, and his faint voice was drowned out by the sound of the crossbow shot he had arranged.

When Zhao Ying woke up, he found himself lying in a tent, Gui Sha and Dong Anyu sat next to him, and when Zhao Ying woke up, they immediately stood up.

"My lord."

"Martingale."

Zhao Ying struggled to get up, but he felt that his whole body was in pain and he had no strength. Dong Anyu hurriedly helped Zhao Ying, and Guisha took a pillow and put it on Zhao Ying's back. Zhao Ying asked, "Where am I?" ”

Dong Anyu said: "At the foot of the Hanging Urn Mountain, Guishan set up a big tent for the lord to rest. ”

"Return to the mountain?"

"It's the eldest brother of Guisha, the leader of Hanging Urn Mountain."

Zhao Ying looked at Guisha: "Your eldest brother?" ”

Guisha nodded: "This matter is a long story, I'll talk to you in detail when you discuss better, you just woke up, I'll go get you some water, you talk first." Guisha turned and went out.

Zhao Ying asked Dong Anyu: "What happened?" ”

Dong Anyu said: "Lord, you have been in a coma for a day and a night, if there is no Mr. Zhan, Dong Anyu may never see the lord again." ”

"It was Mr. Zhan who saved me again." Zhao Ying said silently: "Where is Mr. Zhan now?" ”

"Mrs. Zhan is injured, and Mr. Zhan is accompanying him in another big tent, do you want me to call him?"

"No need." Zhao Ying waved his hand: "I'll go over in a while." How did Mrs. Zhan get hurt? ”

Dong Anyu said: "At that time, Mrs. Zhan and I took the Donghu people from Hanging Urn Mountain down the mountain, and when we reached the foot of the mountain, the sky was full of dark clouds, flying sand and stones, and we couldn't see the road ahead. As we walked into a valley, all of a sudden locust-like crossbow bolts were fired from both sides, and at first a few people at the front were injured, and then we only heard the sound of crossbow arrows flying, and no more crossbow arrows were fired around us. At this time, someone lit a torch, and in this faint firelight, I looked at it, and it turned out that Mrs. Zhan used the dragon tendon to block all the crossbow arrows for us. Later, I heard Mr. Zhan shouting to stop, they were all my own people, and I shouted along. When the crossbow bolts stopped, I saw Mr. Zhan bandaging the wound on Mrs. Zhan's left arm. When he saw me, he said to me, my lord, that you were also wounded and had fainted, and that I should come and see you, and then I would return to the mountain and set up a tent, and I would order you to be brought in. ”

After hearing this, Zhao Ying said: "It turns out that this is all caused by me. Why did the Hu people of Shandong go down the mountain with you? ”

Dong Anyu then told him and Mo Wuya how to subdue the Hu people in the Hanging Urn Mountain, how to rescue Guisha and Guishan, how Fan was captured, why he went to the Hanging Urn Mountain, and how the Fan family and the Zhongxing clan wanted to unite the Donghu people to attack the Zhao family. Zhao Ying was furious when he heard this: "Good you Fan Ying, good you Zhongxing Wu, I, Zhao Ying, will never give up with you." Dong Anyu showed me that Fan gradually showed me, and when I returned to Quwo, I will sue them in front of the lord first, and see what else they have to say, if the lord does not follow me to make the Zhao clan, I will raise troops to attack them. ”

Dong Anyu said: "The lord can't, you have to think twice about this matter." ”

"Tell me about it."

"Now that the palace of the Jin Kingdom is declining, the monarch is an ornament, the power and land are in the hands of the six secretaries, and among the six secretaries, the Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan are the largest and the strongest, even if you report this matter to the monarch, he can't be the master. If Fan Ying and Bank of China Wu come to death and don't admit it, and then sue you for framing, in turn, the two of them will fight our family, and at present, with the strength of our Zhao family, it is not good for me, and there is also a danger of being wiped out again. ”

"Do you want me to swallow my anger and let this matter pass?"

"Yes, as if this incident had not happened, you should now keep your eyes on it, and when our strength is strong enough, then unite with the other families, and it is not too late to destroy them. Today, whoever has the strength has the right to speak. ”

Zhao Ying felt that what Dong Anyu said was reasonable, and now he couldn't beat the Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan with his own strength alone, so he said angrily: "Okay, I'll listen to you." But what if Fan Ying and BOC Wu make a mistake and take the initiative to attack my Zhao family? ”

"At present, they don't dare to be so blatant, the law of the Jin Kingdom is dead, if the Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan come to attack us for no reason, the other three families will not sit idly by."

Zhao Ying thought for a moment and said: "If you say this, you still have to prepare early, and you can't pin your fate on others." ”

Dong Anyu nodded silently.

Zhao Ying asked again: "How did I faint?" ”

Dong Anyu said: "This subordinate doesn't know very well, I think Mr. Zhan knows." ”

"Then I'll ask Mr. Zhan."

"My lord, your body?"

"It's out of the way, I just feel like I've been hit by a fluffy thing, little meaning."

At this time, Guisha came in with a pot of water: "The clear spring water I just fought, let's drink some first, you haven't eaten rice water for a day and a night, I have already ordered someone to cook, if you want to see Mr. Zhan, you will have to eat before you go." The words are full of concern.

Hearing Gui Sha say this, Zhao Ying also really felt hungry in his stomach, and said, "Okay then." After a while, someone brought the food, and Zhao Ying was about to eat, when he saw Guisha and Dong Anyu still standing aside, he pointed to the food on the table and said, "You guys come and eat together." ”

"It's dusk, and we've already eaten. You eat, we'll wait. Guisha said.

Zhao Ying smiled, quickly ate a few bites of food, and then said to Guisha: "Dong Anyu has told me about your eldest brother, I am very happy that he can return to my Zhao family, last time in Beidi I heard that your whole family was killed by the Ghost Fang clan, and this eldest brother is ......" Hearing Zhao Ying say this, Guisha's tears flowed down first, and then she said: "At that time, I really thought that my whole family was killed, until I was arrested on the Hanging Urn Mountain a few days ago, I knew that my eldest brother was not dead, and he also became the big leader of the Hanging Urn Shandong Hu Division. Because the second leader of the Hanging Urn Mountain colluded with Fan gradually to imprison my eldest brother, he told me in the dungeon that when the ghost people attacked Beidi, my eldest brother was hit on the head with a stick and fell into a ravine, fainted to death, and happened to be covered by weeds and escaped, when he woke up, he found that all the women of our tribe had been taken captive and all the men had been killed. At that time, my eldest brother was about to go to the ghost chasing Fang Department to save us, but who knew that he met a Hu army on the road, and captured my eldest brother and sold him to Donghu as a slave. My eldest brother worked as a coolie in Donghu, raised horses, and was sometimes forced to go to war, so he stayed like this for three years, and then several of the big leaders of Donghu had infighting and attacked each other. My eldest brother's tribe was attacked by several other tribes, because my eldest brother was usually very prestigious among slaves, so he united with the slaves of other tribes to help my eldest brother's tribe defeat the other tribes, and his own tribe was also greatly injured, and the leader of the tribe knew that he could no longer control my eldest brother and others, and in order to repay my eldest brother for the savior's kindness, he gave my eldest brother and others freedom. After a while, my eldest brother took those slaves north to find revenge on the Ghost Fang Clan, but he couldn't find it, and later heard that the Ghost Fang Clan was wiped out by the Snow Demon from the Beihai Kingdom. In desperation, my eldest brother led people south, and when he arrived at the Hanging Urn Mountain, he saw that the Hanging Urn Mountain was dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was close to Jinshui, so he occupied the mountain as the king and settled down. Later, you should know that the six secretaries of the Jin State all interacted with my eldest brother, sometimes fighting, sometimes pulling, only you are the best against the Hanging Urn Mountain, and you have never beaten them. Slowly, my eldest brother has the intention of submitting to you, who knew that later Fan gradually made an obstacle from it, they already knew my identity, so they arrested me, coerced and lured my eldest brother to commit it, and turned against you. My eldest brother didn't agree, so he was framed and arrested in the dungeon by them, intending to kill him, but fortunately, Brother Dong and Mrs. Zhan arrived in time and rescued me and my eldest brother. ”

After hearing this, Zhao Ying was very touched and said, "Where is your eldest brother?" I want to see him. ”

"He's out on patrol, I'll call him." Guisha didn't wait for Zhao Ying to agree, then turned around and went out.

After a while, Guisha led Guishan into the big tent, and Guishan saw Zhao Ying and immediately bowed and saluted, saying, "Guishan to see the lord." Hearing Guishan say this, Zhao Ying and Dong Anyu smiled at each other, and Dong Anyu said: "It's Guisha who taught you to say this." Guishan immediately embarrassed there, looked left, looked right, didn't know what to say, suddenly he patted his chest, and said loudly: "I'm a rough person, I can't say anything, I think you Zhao Ying is righteous, enough to be upright, I plan to follow you, do you accept it or not, give a happy word." ”

Zhao Ying smiled and said: "Brother Guishan, we are a family, do you say to accept or not to accept?" ”

"Who's family with you?" Some of the mountains can't turn around, and some of them are foggy.

"The lord plans to marry Guisha, do you think it's a family?" Dong Anyu explained with a smile on the side.

No matter how dull Guishan is, he understands it, and pats his head and says, "Hehe, of course it is, of course it is." ”

Guisha stood aside, although she was a Hu woman, her face was flushed with shame, her pink neck was lowered, she smiled silently, and her hands didn't know where to put them, so she had to play with each other with her two fingers.

"Okay, I'm done eating, come with me to see Mr. Zhan." Zhao Yingdao.

When they came to Zhan Wuxian's big tent, the two sides saluted each other, and Zhao Ying said, "Is Madame's injury better?" ”

"It's fine."

"It's all my fault that Mrs. Zhan was injured this time, I'm really ...... I'd rather take this arrow for my wife. ”

"The situation was critical, and you didn't have to blame yourself too much, but fortunately there weren't many people injured this time." Zhan Wu Xiandao.

Dong Anyu said: "Thanks to Sister Mo this time, if she hadn't used the dragon tendon to block the crossbow arrow in time, the people we were waiting for would not have been able to see the lord." ”

Zhao Ying said: "Zhao Ying, thank Mrs. Zhan again. He asked Dong Anyu again: "Why do you call Mrs. Zhan Sister Mo?" ”

Dong Anyu said: "On the way to Hanging Urn Mountain, I have recognized Mrs. Zhan as my sister, no matter what your name is in the future, anyway, my name is Sister Mo." ”

Guisha said: "I have recognized Mr. Zhan as Brother Zhan, then I can also call Mrs. Zhan Sister Mo." ”

Mo Wuya said: "Of course you can." ”

At this time, Guishan said: "Can I also call Mrs. Zhan Sister Mo?" Everyone laughed out loud when they saw Guishan speak with a serious look.

Then Zhao Ying said: "Sir, what happened to the release at that time?" Why did you leave all of a sudden, and then suddenly show up again? All I remember was being hit by a hairy thing, and then I went black and didn't know anything. ”

Zhan Wuxian said: "The reason why I left at that time was because I found out that the Ghost Wolf King had been following us, and I went to find its traces, and the reason why I didn't tell you was because I was afraid that you would mess up the army's heart." I didn't expect it to come so quickly, it was hidden near us, when you were about to attack the Hanging Urn Mountain, the weather suddenly changed, taking advantage of the chaos, it suddenly attacked you, fortunately I arrived in time, and injured it with a sword, but the huge momentum of the Ghost Wolf King still hit you. ”

"I see, it's still the wolf." Zhao Ying said: "I don't know where the ghost wolf king fled after being injured?" ”

"Zhongshan direction." Zhan Wu Xiandao.

"I will not spare it, but I will destroy it." Zhao Ying's tone was ruthless, and he didn't know if he was talking about the ghost wolf king or Zhongshan Kingdom, Zhao Ying asked again: "Mr. has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, helping Xiong abandon the disease and defeat the prince and defeat the enemy, and win the throne of Chu. ”

"What?"

"Presumably Mr. already knows that this trip to Hanging Urn Mountain, the Fan clan of the Jin Kingdom and the Bank of China will not die in destroying my Zhao clan's heart, how can I deal with it, please teach me sir."

"Compared with the Fan family and the Bank of China family, what is the strength of your Zhao family?

"As we all know, the Zhao clan was wiped out, but fortunately Cheng Ying rescued him, and the Zhao family survived, and it was only three generations to Zhao Ying. Among the six secretaries of the Jin State, the Fan family and the Zhongxing family were the strongest, and the Zhao family was the weakest. Although I knew that the Fan family and the Bank of China clan had coveted the Zhao family for a long time, I never dared to fight with them. If they join forces to attack, my Zhao clan will be wiped out again. ”

Zhan Wuxian pondered for a moment and said: "I have traveled around the world, I have fought against Gongzi in Caicheng, stayed in Yingcheng, and also went to Quwo, the capital of Jin, and Linzi, the capital of Qi. ”

"Sir wants me to build a big city?"

"Yes, with the current situation, the Zhao clan is the weakest, and there is no dangerous place to defend, if the Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan really find an excuse to attack you, what will you do with the other party? When the time comes, you will only end up in the state of destruction. ”

"Mr.'s words made Zhao Yingmao suddenly, although the Zhao family has a lot of land, but there is no blessed land to build a city, either the terrain is too flat or there is no danger to defend, or it is too close to the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the city is too conspicuous to build, and it will be obstructed by other families, which is not easy to do."

Zhan Wuxian smiled slightly and said, "Actually, you have already got the most suitable place." ”

"Where?" Zhao Ying asked eagerly.

"Far away, close at hand."

"Sir is saying...... Over here? Dong Anyu said.

"Yes." Zhan Wuxian said: "Along the way, I checked around, this place is in the sun of Jinshui, the Hanging Urn Mountain is on its west side, there are many trees and boulders on the mountain, it can be used to build a city, this place is far away from the Central Plains, and the city will not attract the attention of others, you have the heart of competing with others in the Central Plains, with Jinshui as a barrier, and Hanging Urn Mountain as a support, and it is surrounded by fertile fields for thousands of miles, which is an excellent place to build a city. ”

"That's right!" Zhao Ying patted his thigh and said, "Thank you, Mr. for your guidance, can you help me?" ”

"I'm telling you this just because I don't want your Zhao clan to be destroyed again, and once again the lives of the people will be ruined, and the big city can only be defended but not attacked, in fact, there is one person who is completely competent."

"Who is it?"

"It's him." Spread a shirtless finger.

Everyone looked at Zhan Wuxian's fingers and said in unison: "Dong Anyu? ”

"It's him." Zhan Wuxian said: "It can be seen that Dong Anyu is knowledgeable, conscientious, hard-working, and resentful, and he dares to only hang the urn mountain on his body to show that he is loyal to the Zhao family, and let Dong Anyu preside over the construction of the big city is the best candidate." ”

Zhao Ying looked at Dong Anyu and asked, "Dong Anyu, do you think you can do it?" ”

Dong Anyu said: "For the sake of the lord and the Zhao family, Dong Anyu must be duty-bound, do his best, and die." ”

"You're not modest." Zhao Ying was a little naughty: "Then what is the name of this city?" ”

Zhan Wuxian smiled and said nothing, looking at Zhao Ying, as if to say: The name will not be given by others. Zhao Ying looked at Dong Anyu again, and Dong Anyu asked Zhao Ying to think for himself. Zhao Ying turned his head and saw Guishan, and said, "Brother Guishan, what do you say is the name of this city?" ”

Guishan has a straight temperament, and when he saw Zhao Ying ask him, he opened his mouth and said: "Do you still need to think about this, ready-made, this city is at the foot of the Hanging Urn Mountain, so it will be called the Hanging Urn City." When everyone heard this, they all held back their laughter, and Guisha said: "Big brother, don't talk nonsense, let Gongzi take it." ”

Guishan said: "It's not that I have to say it, it's that Gongzi asked me before I said it." ”

At this time, Mo Wuya said: "Actually, Wuxian has already said his name just now. ”

Zhao Ying suddenly realized and said, "The Yang of Jinshui? Good, good, this city is called Jinyang. Zhan Wuxian nodded with a smile.

The next day, Zhan Wuxian and Mo Wuya said goodbye to everyone and went south, and Zhao Ying stayed several times and asked Zhan Wuxian to Quwo Zhao's family. were all politely rejected by Zhan Wuxian, saying that there was something important to do, and as a last resort, everyone sent Zhan Wuxian and his wife to spend Jinshui before coming back.

Dong Anyu asked Zhao Ying: "Lord, do you want to go back to Quwo?" ”

Zhao Ying said: "You stay here to build Jinyang City, return to the mountain as your assistant, if you have any difficulties, just tell me, I am going to Zhongshan now." ”

"Does the lord want to go to Zhongshan Country at this time to ......?"

"It's not time yet, I'm going to catch the ghost wolf king this time, revenge it for hitting me, and by the way, get some benefits to help you build Jinyang."

"What should Fan gradually do?"

Zhao Ying thought for a moment and said: "This matter can't be known to Fan Ying and Bank of China Wu, Zhan Wuxian is right, I am not their opponent yet, I can't provoke them." ”

Dong Anyu said: "I know what to do. ”

A few days later, a corpse appeared in the barren valley, reportedly killed by robbers, and its belongings were looted.
