Chapter 15, Gathering

Because there were not many people who escaped, and a lot of valuable things were brought out, the soldiers were now able to ensure that they had enough to eat. Under such conditions, Xuan Yi and Liu Jiexuan were able to drag those selected soldiers to practice the formation all morning every day. In the blink of an eye, seven or eight days passed. On this morning, Xuan Yi and Liu Jiexuan were continuing to supervise the soldiers to practice on the school field at the bottom of the mountain, when suddenly Huang Zide's personal guard Huang Niu'er rode over on a horse, and as soon as the horse stopped, he jumped off the horse and said: "General Liu, Dao Chief, the owner of the village invites you to the Juyi Hall to discuss something." ”

"What's wrong?" Liu Jiexuan saw that the scalper's face was flushed, and knew that there must be something big, so he hurriedly asked.

"There's news from Madame." The scalper gasped.

At this time, Liu Jiexuan's groom had already helped him and Xuan Yi bring the horses over. Liu Jiexuan got on the horse and said, "Talk while walking." He also instructed his deputy Zhang Sijie and said, "Sijie, you watch them continue to practice." Then he waved his horsewhip and galloped towards the direction of the cottage with the scalper and Xuanyi.

"The party general has come here." The scalper said, "He said that Madam, and General Shang, and many other people are there." However, he also heard that He Dalong was back again, and he was ready to ......"

As they spoke, the three of them had already arrived at the door of the Gathering Hall. Several people jumped off the horse, the scalper led the horse aside, and Liu Jiexuan and Xuan Yi walked in together.

"The owner of the village, is there any news from my sister-in-law? Also, He Dalong is ......" Liu Jiexuan shouted as he walked inside, and at the same time, his eyes swept and saw that Dang Shoujie was standing there, so he hurriedly rushed up and grabbed his arm, "Dang boy, well, it's not bad, it's just a little thinner!" Sister-in-law, how are they, when will they come over here? ”

"Brother Liu......" Dang Shoujie said, "Madame, they are all fine, originally Mrs. took everyone to Shangluo's side, that is, on the road, suddenly there was an epidemic in the army, General Shang and Huang Guo were sick, and now they are not well, they can barely get up, but they can't get on the horse, and they can't walk." There are many sick people in the old camp, and there is a shortage of medical treatment, and the situation is not very good. A lot of people can't move anymore. A few days ago, when the wind loosened a little, Madame sent some people to look for the king here, and I found this place. ”

Dang Shouyi is a general, and he has been sent out to do such a thing, which shows the seriousness of this disease in the old camp.

"Isn't there an old fairy in the old camp?" As soon as Liu Jiexuan heard that the epidemic was prevalent in the old camp, he became anxious. Because the disease is, in a sense, even more terrible than the enemy. If you can't beat the enemy, you can at least dodge, but once the disease finds you, you can't dodge. Fortunately, when Huang Zide was wandering around before, he also recruited some doctors, and the most outstanding of them was ginger pigment who had been following the old camp, because of his superb medical skills, Huang Zide called them "old immortals".

"When the old fairy broke through, he was hit by an arrow, and the arrow was poisonous, and he died that night." Dang Shouyi shook his head and said, "If the old immortal was still there, it wouldn't be like this......"

"What? The old fairy is dead! Liu Jiexuan was taken aback and almost picked up.

In fact, in this righteous hall, after hearing the news, some people were even more surprised than Liu Jiexuan, not even more than surprised, and even a little frightened. This person is Xuanyi. Because he remembered that in his previous life, the old immortal did not die, and even until Huang Zide entered the Beijing Division, the old immortal was still there, and he was appointed as the envoy of the Tai Hospital, in charge of the Tai Hospital. Why are you dead now? Could it be that the Emperor of Heaven noticed it and took the lead in doing so? Now Huang Zide's luck is at a low point, if the Emperor of Heaven really wants to make a move, Huang Zide and himself will definitely not be able to fight against it. Thinking of this, Xuan Yi only felt a little out of breath, almost suffocating.

"What are you thinking?" A voice sounded in his ear, "Don't worry, no one else can hear you but you." You are still a Taoist, let me ask you, luck and luck, what is luck? ”

Hearing this steady, satirical voice, Xuan Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and then cautiously asked in his heart: "Senior, what is going on?" ”

"I'll ask you first, you answer my question first, and then talk about anything else." The voice said unceremoniously.

"Well," Xuan Yi thought for a moment, "the qi in luck refers to the number of qi; Luck refers to fate. Luck should be the number of qi and fate. ”

"What is the number of gases?" The voice asked again.

"Qi number, it seems to be fate, right?" Xuan Yi cautiously asked in his heart, he estimated that his answer was probably going to be scolded.

"Stupid! What kind of bullshit are you guys building! The voice cursed. After scolding fiercely for a while, the voice said: "Qi is the foundation of heaven and earth, and luck is the root of heaven and earth. Luck is the operation of the whole world, the whole heaven and the earth. What bullshit you're answering! ”

"But, senior......"

"But what? I know what stupid things you stupid want to say, let me tell you, the luck of the world is the operation of the whole world, and the luck of each group and each person is the operation of the laws of heaven and earth on them. If a person lives to be more than 100 years old, even if he is not sick, he will die, which is naturally the operation of the Tao; A person who has a broken throat and runs out of blood will die, no matter how he got to this point, he will die when he reaches this point, this is also nature, it is the operation of the Tao! As for how he got to this point, that's his own problem. Do you want to say some fate, some kind of 'peck, drink' or something like that? If it's really 'a peck and a drink', then what else do you cultivate? This kind of nonsense is all stinky bullshit put by those depraved Tianzhu barbarians! What is fate? It's just the limits of the world. On the ninth day of the first day of the Qianqian hexagram, no matter how you jump, you can't 'fly the dragon in the sky', which is the limit; when you are born into a fish, no matter how you swim, you can't leave the water for a long time, which is the limit; when you are born into a bird, no matter how you fly, you can't fly out of the sky, which is a limitation. And such a restriction is fate. Born as a human being, the general trend of the world, for people, is also such a limitation. But the people in this limit are like fish in the sea and birds in the sky, how they swim and how they fly, that is your own business. Therefore, Xunzi said: 'Heaven is constant, not for Yao's survival, not for ruin'. If it should be treated, it will be auspicious, and if it should be chaotic, it will be vicious. If you are strong and economizeal, you can't be poor; When you are ready to move, you can't get sick; If you follow the road and do not follow the path, the sky will not be a disaster. 'The Emperor of Heaven is not a heaven, he can't control how everyone jumps between heaven and earth! ”

"You mean to say that these changes, in fact, are nothing, and have nothing to do with the Emperor of Heaven or us?" Xuan Yi asked.

"Of course! I don't understand this. The voice said a few more sarcastic words, and then ceased to speak.

Xuan Yi also shifted his attention to what Huang Zide and they were talking about, and only listened to Dang Shoujie: "Yesterday, I heard that He Dalong mutinied because his soldiers had no food to eat on the road, and most of the guys were scattered. He Dalong was afraid of the Tartars, so he took the opportunity not to go to King Qin, and came back. Wang Enyi, the thief, was caught by He Dalong's people, and the dog thief immediately sold his wife and the position of the old camp. He Dalong wanted to lead his troops to arrest his wife, but he didn't have many soldiers left, so he didn't dare to fight like this, so he was searching for people. I was going to go back immediately to report back to my wife, but at this time I learned the news of the owner of the village. I asked Li Jixiang and the others to go back and report to their wife, and I came here. Owner, there are no more people in the old camp who can fight now, you have to hurry up and find a way. ”

Huang Zide listened, frowned, paced a few steps behind his back, and then said, "What do you think should be done?" ”

Now Huang Zide's number of people here is also limited, and there are not many troops who can be sent out to support the old battalion. And He Dalong, although he experienced a mutiny and the soldiers fled, but the people who fled were ordinary and worthless soldiers, but He Dalong's family soldiers would definitely not escape. So seriously, He Dalong's strength loss is actually very limited. If He Dalong immediately transferred troops to fight him, even if Huang Zide brought the two hundred or so people around him now, most of them would not be able to defeat He Dalong.

"Where is Madame now?" Xuan Yi asked.

"In the Huanglong Temple, there are still more than 300 miles of mountain roads from here." Dang Shouyi replied.

"Where is Dalong now?" Xuan Yi asked again.

"He Dalong is now in Luonan, and there is only a mountain road less than a hundred miles away from the old camp." Dang Shouyi replied.

Xuan Yi turned to Huang Zide and said, "Village master, the situation is critical now, we must act immediately." Poor Dao felt that we could do this, and the owner of the village personally took a team of people to Shangluo to go around and play the banner of the king, but don't do anything big, it can be regarded as a disturbance to He Dalong. It's good to make him suspicious for a while. General Liu and I rushed over overnight with my brothers. The roads in this mountain are narrow, and there are many places where you can set up ambushes. He Dalong's number is limited, and it is impossible to take care of him in all directions. In addition, he may not necessarily believe in Wang Enyi, so his actions will definitely be slow. If we move quickly, we'll probably be able to find the lady before he does. Then we will take them around the mountains with elite soldiers to cover the transfer of the old battalion, which should still be certain. In addition, the poor road is more or less a little ambiguous, and at these times, we also bought some medicinal materials. Poor Dao rushed over with these medicinal herbs, maybe he could also help a little. ”

Huang Zide nodded after listening, and then said, "It's just that I'm going to have to work hard again." The situation is urgent, and we are ready immediately. ”

Then Huang Zide began to distribute the attacking manpower, arranged people to prepare dry food on the road, and in the afternoon, it was considered to be ready, Liu Jiexuan and Xuan Yi first took more than 50 soldiers who practiced the mandarin duck formation with them, as well as more than 20 horses, more than 10 mules, under the leadership of the party Shouyi, set off first.
