Chapter 116: Three Kings
In the eastern suburbs of Chang'an City, on the east side of Baqiao, people who are about to travel far away say goodbye to their relatives and friends here, and by the willow forest on the bank of Bashui, a convoy composed of more than 30 two carriages is ready to go, and pedestrians can't help but look sideways when they see this. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The scale of this convoy is not small, although the entourage is dressed in uniform clothes, but unlike the government or military team, most of the people are not wearing armor, but they are carrying bows and arrows, swords, and long sticks, and it seems that they are the troops of a large family, and they are about to escort the lord or his family out of the distance.
Several passers-by who had finished bidding farewell couldn't help but be curious when they saw such a scene, and one of them was a little puzzled: "This official is not an official or a people, and it is a four-wheeled carriage, could it be a Shannan caravan?" ”
"Half of the answer is right, since it is a four-wheeled carriage, it must be a convoy from Shannan, but this is not a caravan." The other person sold a pass, and when he saw that others were confused, he simply said the answer.
"This is the dart team in Huangzhou, Shannan, do you see the small flag on each car, there is a 'dart' word written on it."
"Dart team? What does this do? ”
"Collect money from people and help people escort goods, you just treat him as a team that collects money as a guard, of course, people not only deliver goods but also send people, and help deliver letters along the way."
Hearing him say this, everyone suddenly realized that it is not easy to go far away these years, if the official or big family is okay, he can afford to raise many guards and keep himself safe all the way, while ordinary people try to avoid going far away, otherwise it is easy to never hear from again.
Especially those small businessmen, in order to make a profit, have to take the risk of traveling long distances, usually in company of each other, but even so, it is easy to get into trouble halfway.
Externally, it is necessary to guard against robbers and all kinds of ill-intentioned people encountered along the way; Internally, you have to guard against your partner's poison, so that the murderer will not come back and lie that he has fallen or drowned halfway.
And people who are far away, if they want to write letters to their relatives or friends elsewhere in their hometowns, they have to wait for the opportunity to send letters, which involves many inconveniences in human exchanges.
"The fee for this dart shop won't be cheap, right?"
"Of course, but it's worth it, isn't it? From Chang'an in Guanzhong to Xiyang in Huangzhou in the east of Shannan, it is not easy for people to travel so far. ”
"It's so far! With so many goods still pulled, a back and forth can not be for months? ”
"Where, there is a waterway between Xiyang and Shangluo City in Wuguan Road, especially on the return trip, I got on the Danshui next to Shangluo, and went all the way down the river into the Han River and then into the Yangtze River, and it didn't take long to reach Xiyang."
"Xiyang... Could it be the Xiyang where the one-legged bronze man is? ”
"That's not what, let me tell you, they all say that the one-legged bronze man is fond of eating human flesh, but in my opinion, it's not like that, there are many pigs in Huangzhou, so this is a pork-loving man, what ham, sausage, meat floss, there are many in Huangzhou!"
"In this way, the hams, sausages, and meat floss bought by the stores in Chang'an City are all from Huangzhou?"
"Of course, there are also Huangzhou cloth and Huangzhou book, otherwise what do you think the goods shipped to Chang'an by Dart Xing are?"
"Huangzhou book? Is it the Huangzhou book that has been making a lot of noise in the past few days, such as 'shock', 'truth revealed', and 'accusation of blood and tears'? ”
"That's right."
Not far from the dart team, three men were talking on the side of the official road, and more than ten men were leading horses to rest beside them.
"I went to Yecheng for my brother, I don't know if I can get my wish, Erlang took Shu Jue to Huangzhou, be careful in everything, if Shu Jue has anything, you must tell your third uncle."
"Yes, brother."
"Yes, second uncle."
Wang Erlang Wang Xu, about to leave for Yecheng, he carefully explained all the matters of San Lang Wang Xuan, and the second son of the deceased Wang Dalang, Wang Jue, will accompany the third uncle to Xiyang, Huangzhou, Shannan.
"Brother is going to Yecheng here, how sure are you?"
"I don't know, but no matter what, I have to fight for the opportunity, wait for the army to move south, even if I am only an ordinary soldier, I will be a pioneer to cross the river, rush into Jiankang City, and avenge my father!"
When it comes to avenging their father, the brothers are a little emotional, the revenge of killing their father is not shared, as a son, even if there is only one breath, they must take revenge!
Wang Xuan and Wang Fei, is the second son and third son of the famous general Wang Sengbi of the Liang State of the Southern Dynasty, in the past Hou Jing's rebellion, Xiangdong Wang Xiao Yi raised troops in Jingzhou to crusade against Hou Jing, Wang Sengbi for his generals, and made countless military exploits.
Wang Shengbi led the army to recover Jiankang, Hou Jing was forced to flee, and finally killed by his subordinates, Hou Jing's rebellion ended, and Xiao Yi, the king of Xiangdong, was enthroned as emperor in Jiangling, and Jiangling was the capital of Liang.
Wang Sengbi, who made great contributions, was deeply trusted, guarded Jiankang, and his three sons all stayed in Jiangling and were considered hostages.
Later, the Western Wei Dynasty broke through Jiangling, Xiao Yi died, Wang Shengbi and the generals supported Xiao Fangzhi, the son of Xiao Yi, as the emperor in Jiankang, and the Qi State took advantage of the danger of the army to press the border and coerced Xiao Yuanming, the clan of Liang State who was captured by the Qi State, as the emperor.
Around this matter, the internal contradictions of the Liang State broke out, Chen Baxian, who was guarding the Jingkou, suddenly attacked Jiankang, and the unguarded Wang Seng was defeated and died.
At that time, Wang Xuan and Wang Fei, who were taken captive to Chang'an because of the fall of Jiangling, wept and cried after hearing the bad news, crying several times until they fainted, and they remembered the revenge of killing their father for more than 30 years.
Wang Seng argued that he had three sons, Dalang Wang Yi, who was ordered to defend the city when the Western Wei Dynasty attacked Jiangling, and fled to Qi with the famous general Wang Lin after the city was broken, and later died in Qi State, leaving his wife Li and his young son Wang Qi to rely on each other.
Erlang Wang awarded, lying on the salary and trying to avenge his father, and went out of the Zhou State.
San Lang Wang Fei, who grew up in Chang'an, was a good ranger when he was young, and became a Chang'an hero at the age of 20.
In just two years, he passed the Five Classics, was well-read and memorized, known as a naturalist for the world, and knew the art of war, at the age of twenty-two, he was cited by Emperor Wu of Zhou as a bachelor of Lumen (Taixue), and Emperor Wu had any doubts about it, Wang Fei could make a decision for it.
After only two years of study, the young Wang Fei won the position of Lumen bachelor, which is the envy of many well-educated people, and the two brothers of the Wang family are one scholar and one martial arts, and they are holding back their strength to avenge their father.
coincided with Zhou Guopingqi, and the brothers found the widowed eldest sister-in-law Li and nephew Wang Qi, and brought them to live in Chang'an, waiting for Zhou Guoping Chen, when their father's revenge would be avenged.
As a result, the chaos of the elephant in the second year made the brothers become Sui ministers, and the two countries of Zhou and Sui fought each other for many years.
Erlang Wang awarded in Shu as an official, but at the end of the previous year, the situation changed suddenly, the Zhou army invaded Chang'an, and the San Lang Wang Gong in Chang'an became a rebellious minister, and this year the Zhou army invaded Shu, and Wang Xuan also became a rebellious minister.
After all, Wang Cheng is a scholar, so it is a big deal to read at home if he is not appreciated by the court, but Wang Xuan is bent on joining the army, just so that he can go out with the army in the future.
The commander who led the Zhou army to pacify Shu this time, Xi Piluo, attached more importance to Wang Xuan, so he wrote a letter to ask him to take him to Yecheng to find a way, and Wang Fei decided to take his nephew Wang Qi to Huangzhou, Shannan.
Seeing that the time was coming, the three of them said goodbye under the willow tree, Wang Xuan rode on his horse, led his entourage to gallop eastward, and wanted to go to Luoyang to cross the Yellow River to Yecheng, Wang Fei took his nephew Wang Qi, and their respective families to Xiyang with the Huangzhou dart team.
Wang Fei and Wang Jue came to a car and saluted a woman in the car: "Sister-in-law, I'm about to leave in a while, what's wrong with the road, just talk to San Lang." ”
Li returned the salute: "San Lang has worked hard, Shu Jue, I have to listen to your third uncle along the way." ”
"Yes, Mother."
Wang Jue replied that he has a light and elegant temperament, and he doesn't like to talk much on weekdays, so when the second uncle talks to the third uncle, he also listens to it mostly, and he doesn't make friends at will on weekdays, so he likes to read.
Li couldn't help but sigh when he saw his son take out the book from his luggage, it was a good thing that his son liked to read, but now if it wasn't for the care of her deceased husband and two younger brothers, how could she be so easy as a widow.
Wang Ju wanted to go to Yecheng, and Wang Ju was invited by Liu Zhuo, who settled in Huangzhou, to go to Xiyang to go to school, he knew that Wang Ju had long admired the name of 'Er Liu', so Wang Ju said that the Li family moved to Xiyang to live temporarily, so that Wang Ju could study under Er Liu.
Li didn't know what the blessing and misfortune were, after all, the danger of a long journey was often heard, but seeing the huge momentum of this so-called dart team, he thought that he could keep the road safe, so he gradually felt at ease.
After Wang Hao and his eldest sister-in-law finished talking, they saw their nephew reading, and couldn't help but think of their own appearance back then, and stepped forward and asked, "Shuju, what book are you reading?" ”
"Third uncle, my nephew is reading "A Preliminary Study of the Authenticity of Ancient Texts and Books"." Wang Jue replied that since the third uncle gave him this book, he has been fascinated by it, after all, this book has been very famous in Chang'an recently.
"When I arrived in Xiyang, Shu Jue could see the library of Huangzhou State School, especially the all-night reading room."
"Third uncle, in the all-night reading room, there is really a permanent lamp?"
"Of course there is, if you go, you will know, although the third uncle has not been there, Liu Shiyuan will never lie to people."
Xindu Liu Zhuo Liu Shiyuan, in fact, has no friendship with Wang Fei, after Zhou Guoping in the past, the two met a few times, but they were nodding friends, so Liu Zhuoguang couldn't let Wang Zhuo go to Xiyang with a letter.
The reason for today's trip is completely Wang Yan's own judgment and ideas to make a decision, after the Zhou State recovered Chang'an, he has been idle at home, because of his studies, he is not worried about being liquidated by the Zhou court, and he does not plan to get involved in those bad things for the time being.
What's the? Of course, it was a bad matter between the Yuwen clan and the Yu Chi clan, and with Wang Yan's eyesight, it was strange that he couldn't see that there was a problem between the two families.
Do you want to hide first and wait for the two sides to decide the winner before you go out? It's safe, but it's so boring!
Wang Fei is ambitious and wants to make a difference, so he doesn't study to be a bachelor, otherwise he wouldn't have read so many military books, although he is not as brave as his brother Wang Fei, but he also wants to fight on the battlefield.
What if you can't take the rank of general among the hosts? Think back then, Chen Qingzhi, the general of Liang State, had no power to open a bow, and then what?
He believes that you don't necessarily need the courage of a puppet to make a contribution, as long as you can strategize and win thousands of miles away, so when the situation is confusing, it is a good opportunity for him to show his skills.
The premise is to vote for the right person, otherwise it is a pearl secret investment.
Who is that person? I didn't know it originally, but recently I had eyebrows, and the reason was Liu Zhuo's letter: Wang Zhuo and Liu Zhuo had no friendship, how did the other party think of writing to him?
Because Wang Fei has often gone to the bookstore for more than a year, he is familiar with the shopkeeper, he knows that it must be Liu Zhuo, who is far away in Huangzhou, and he learned through the shopkeeper that he is not willing, so he specially wrote to invite.
However, in fact, it was not necessarily Liu Zhuo who invited him, but someone else.
Wang Hao quickly figured out the key, this person seems to be more suitable, but whether it will work or not, you have to see his words and deeds to see him.
"From ~~~Dart~~~Le~~~~"
With a shout from the dart head, the dart masters shouted and prepared to set off on the road, and Wang Fei got into the carriage and looked south through the window, as if to see through the mountains to see somewhere far away.
Zheng Yi dares to buy stinky horse bones that everyone avoids, and I, a person who is called a rebellious minister, is not a big deal, right?
