Looking at these half-dead captives,

"The Loyal Army from Xuzhou?。。 It turned out to be them. ”

Zhou Huai'an suddenly felt that this name was very familiar, and then searched the database like a lightning flash, a memory fragment left a long time ago.

"This is really an old friend of the rebels' narrow road."

To say that after the Anshi Rebellion, the military towns in the world sprung up more and more, but the relationship with the imperial court is also very different, and according to the relatives and the proximity, the three, six, nine, etc.;

Among them, there are the three towns of Heshuo, which were transformed from the remnants of the Anshi rebels and were born against the bones and have been hereditary for a long time, such as Yiding, Weibo, Zhenji, Fanyang, Cangjing, Huaixi, and Ziqing.

In order to confront and suppress and conquer these separatist forces that rebelled and shunned, there were also Xuanwu, Zhongwu, Wuning, Heyang, Yicheng, Zhaoyi, Hedong, Shaanxi, Shannandong, Hezhong, Jinshang and other anti-doom feudal towns in the Central Plains.

There are also military towns inherited from the traditional border army system with the nature of preparing for the border and garrisoning, which are divided into two parts: northwest and southwest. Northwest Xinjiang has: Fengxiang, Suining, Dunfang, Jingyuan, Zhenwu, Tiande, Yinxia, Lingwu. Southwest Xinjiang has: Shannanxi, Xichuan, Dongchuan, Qianzhong, Guiguan, Rongguan, Yongguan, Annan, Lingnan.

Finally, it is across the land of "Wuyue Jingchu", and has jurisdiction over the southeast eight provinces and 49 prefectures of the exclusive financial supply of the town, such as eastern Zhejiang, western Zhejiang, Xuanshe, Huainan, Jiangxi, Eyue, Fujian, Hunan, Jingnan and so on. This is also the main opponent that Zhou Huai'an is currently facing, strictly speaking, it belongs to the weak chicken sequence that is quite at the bottom of the combat effectiveness in the feudal town.

The combat effectiveness of the various town armies that flourished and evolved during this period has always been the most well-known in Chen, Xu, Xu, and Cai in Henan and Huaixi in the hinterland of the Central Plains. However, compared with Xu Zu's ferocity and chaos and Cai Zu's natural rebellion, Chen Xu Jiedu has always been politically qualified and militarily strong since the establishment of the town, and has been relied on by the imperial court.

For example, in many battles such as Yuanhe's attack on Huaixi, Changqing's use of troops in Hebei, and Huichang's crusade against Zelu, the loyal army served as the main force in attacking the fortifications, and had the reputation of "the loyal army is known as the elite and brave" and "the world's sharp pawns".

As a sign and reward for merit in the imperial court, the previous generation of the Son of Heaven also authorized the loyal soldiers to wrap their heads with yellow scarves (the forbidden color of the Heavenly Family), so they were called the "Yellow Head Army", and they played a great reputation in the border areas such as Xichuan and Annan that they sent troops to defend.

On the other hand, they are also old rivals that the rebels are familiar with. In the early days, the great defeats and setbacks suffered by the peasant rebel armies of Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao were almost half in the hands of the loyal army; And the battle of Huangmei, which drove Wang Xianzhi to a dead end, was also fought by recruiting Zhang Zimian, the deputy envoy and general of Wuwei, and led the 4,000 loyal troops under his command.

Later, because of the Gong Wei to avoid the disaster of Xichuan, the Tang Emperor returned to the capital, and in the name of the eight capitals of Zhongwu, each became a feudal town, one of the eight capitals, Wang Jian, was thus obtained the opportunity to unify the three rivers, and finally became the founder of Shu five generations ago.

However, the Zhongwu Army, the big signboard and strong IP in the north, and the number one thug of the imperial court, have always been active in the north and basically have not come to the south of the Yangtze River; Is it because of the changes that they have brought about and their ripple effects? It's like in the early stages of the game, and I accidentally hit a big boss-level monster that wins in the late game.

However, fortunately, the loyal army that was gathered together was certainly difficult and durable; But for some reason, the loyal army, which was scattered in the city in all directions, and was divided and surrounded by several sudden advances, was in a sense a living ingredient that had been bouncing on the board for a longer time.

And according to the identity and origin of the interrogated prisoners, it seems that even the loyal and military eight generals who will make great achievements in the future have already folded a Jin Hui here. This can't help but make Zhou Huai'an both a blessing and a fluke, and a mature military system with a high degree of organization and training is the real confidence to respond to all changes with no change.

At this time, Feng Si, who was sent to capture the prisoners in the front, still hadn't returned; Zhou Huai'an has just prepared to adjust and deploy. But in the direction of the inner city, there was another loud noise, and then it became an increasingly loud noise in all directions. He couldn't help but wonder if there was a new variable in the city or a counterattack in the circle of loyal soldiers.

Then after a long while, Zhou Huai'an, who was on high alert as if facing a great enemy, roughly understood what had just happened from Feng Si, who was covered in smoke and dust and returned from capture.

In fact, after a period of fighting and advancing, the soldiers and civilians in Yueyang City suddenly came out of their homes one after another, and began to actively assist the rebels in besieging and clearing those stubborn officers and troops who were entrenched in various neighborhoods in the city.

What kind of ghost painting style is this, after understanding that the opponent is a loyal army, Zhou Huai'an is already ready to fight a tragic street battle in the whole city to meet the enemy, and even temporarily abandon some secondary areas when things are not harmonious, and shrink the men and horses to retreat to the city wall to reorganize and replenish, and then make a long-term plan to fight again.

Why did the wind suddenly fall to the side of the rebels, wouldn't it change to be like the people in Tanzhou City, at least to maintain indifference and reverence and helpless neutrality.

。。。。。。。

After another half a day, I saw the sun gradually sinking in the west.

Upstairs in Yueyang, there are still the same people, but the atmosphere and scene are different from the righteous army. Because with the defeat of the loyal army before the official army, there has been a new ruler in Yueyang City.

And Zhou Huai'an, who came here specifically and walked up the stairs with a number of horses, didn't have the heart to pay attention to the many people gathered here, all kinds of eyes and different expressions; Instead, all attention was focused on the lobby on the first floor of the main building, where many lacquer carved sidings and their inscriptions were inscribed. Because those wall panels are impressively engraved with the masterpieces of celebrities from the past dynasties of this dynasty:

There are Du Fu's "Ascending Yueyang Tower", Li Bai's "Climbing Yueyang Tower with Xia Twelve", "Farewell to Jia Sheren to the Second Song", Meng Haoran's "Lindongting Lake Presents Zhang Chengxiang", Han Yu's "Yueyang Tower", Yuan Zhen's "Yueyang Tower", Li Shangyin's "Yueyang Tower", Liu Yuxi's "Dongting Autumn Moon Walk", Lu Wen's "Yueyang Nostalgia"...

And the most recent one is in the contemporary Duguan Lang, the partridge bachelor Zheng Gu left "Farewell". Of course, more of them are empty siding, and it is clear that there is no inscription that can be compared to it.

And at this moment, Zhou Huai'an's soul of copying the public was burning again. is the so-called "there is Li Du on the topic before, and the reputation is even more helpless. Then he turned his mind and walked a few steps, and then recited aloud Zhao Yi's "Five Poems on Poetry: Part II":

"Li Du's poems are passed down from mouth to mouth,

It's not new yet. “

At this time, the guests upstairs and downstairs couldn't help but startle for a moment, and let out a low laugh; There are also people who secretly shake their heads or look at each other and smile bitterly, obviously thinking that they are worthy of being grass thieves, and even the poems are so straightforward and too low-pitched.

waited until they were laughing and their emotions were almost brewing, and Zhou Huai'an continued:

"Generations of talented people come out,

Each has led the way for hundreds of years. ”

The upstairs and downstairs were completely silent, and then there was an irrepressible uproar of exclamation and emotion, and the cacophony of various gaffes and motions caused by people getting up and knocking down the table, and dropping their cups.

It's like a wonderful hand, and the last two sentences seem to be out of the sky, and all of a sudden the prosaic front-end poems have been transformed into the finishing touch across the long river of ancient time, and the majestic atmosphere of the sages and celebrities must not be allowed for a moment.

Therefore, there are even people who beat their hands desperately and lamented, why is this kind of masterpiece that is enough to be famous and passed down to the world, not obtained by contemporary lyricists, but made by the characters among the grass thieves who are as humble as dust. Could it be that the world has declined and turned upside down, and has reached such a point?

"Only one eye must be opened independently, and the art garden is full of female yellow.

Dwarves have never seen them when they watch plays, and they all follow people to say that they are short and long. ”

As these two verses were recited, many people's faces suddenly changed color, and their faces turned red as if they were being slapped. Isn't this openly mocking them as people who are blind and illiterate?

"Well, at least his verses are not considered to be on the Yueyang Tower."

There are also people who can comfort themselves and their friends in private, so that they, the local scholars, are not particularly ashamed to go home.

However, after tasting the appetizers, Zhou Huai'an decided to make a big move.

He asked someone to carry down a piece of wall board, and then copied the monk Jue style such as "Huaisu Sticker" and "One Line Post" from below, and Yuan Jing, who wrote a good calligraphy, stood on the side of a small case with the four treasures of the study, and recorded the poem "Sui Sense" on it with a few brushstrokes.

Zhou Huai'an cleared his throat and said:

"At the end of the autumn of the third year of Wang Ba, the rebel army returned to Baling County. The city is newly settled, the people are rough and safe, and all kinds of waste are prosperous. It is to climb the Yueyang Tower, and the poems of the ancient and modern sages are endowed on it. It belongs to the composition to remember it. ”

"Yuguanfu Baling is victorious, in a lake in Dongting. Connecting the distant mountains, swallowing the Yangtze River, the vast soup soup, the endless horizon; The morning sun is cloudy, and the weather is myriad. ”

So the noise and noise of the upstairs calmed down again, and only the clear and deafening sound of recitation, and the fine rustle of the rabbit haohu pen on the board:

"If the rain is raining, it will not open for a month, the wind will howl angrily, and the turbid waves will be emptied; The sun and stars are hidden, and the mountains are hidden; Business travel is not good, and the tree is devastated; In the twilight, the tiger roars and the ape cries. Dengslou also, there are people who go to the country to cherish their hometown, are worried and fearful, full of gloom, and feel extremely sad. ”

"And maybe the long smoke is empty, the moon is thousands of miles, the floating light is golden, the still shadow sinks, and the fishing songs answer each other, what a joy is this! Dengsi Lou also, there is a relaxed heart, spoiled and forgotten, the wine to the wind, its joyful people. ”

And when Zhou Huai installed enough to force the style and pretend to be light, it has been fluttering and gone for a long time; Upstairs and downstairs were still silent, and they were also immersed and reveled in the last few words;

It must be said that "the worries of the world are worried, and the joy of the world is happy". Belch! Weisi people, who am I with?

Even if no one got up for a long time, they only felt that they had witnessed the birth of a legend, and the tide in the center of the chest was surging and exciting, as if there were countless unspeakable feelings that had nowhere to vent.

And among the people who went away, Zhou Huaian was also cheering and encouraging in his heart, as the so-called plagiarism of an ancient man after the war, and the feeling of pretending to be forced to leave is really enjoyable.
