Chapter Ninety-Six: The Carnival in Mi County

Mingyue and Fu Xuan's men and horses have come to Shaanxi County (Shaanxi County is located in the encirclement of the mountains of the Kuoshan Mountains, "according to the elbow of the Guanhe River, the silence of the Quartet", is the throat between the plain of western Henan and the Weihe River, and is named after "Shaanxi"), when passing through the Kuoshan Mountain (located in the west of Henan Province, Lingbao City, the south of Shaanxi County, and the remaining veins extending to the east are called Pishan), the army had a large-scale escape, and more than 3,000 troops ran away more than 800 people at once, including more than 300 veterans......

When Fu Xuan counted the soldiers, he found that most of the people who stayed were the clansmen of the Fu family, and most of the escapees were newly recruited from outside, and the veterans who escaped were all the defeated soldiers who had been collected before.

Mingyue got out of the carriage and put on her head a "hat (a hat designed to cover her face and not let passers-by peep, generally made of soap yarn (black gauze), with a wide brim around it, and a drooping silk mesh or thin silk under the eaves, which is long to the neck to cover her face)" This can be much less trouble...... Mingyue walked towards the tent where Fu Xuan was, Fu Lan was carrying a basket of food, Fu Mei followed slowly with the pipa on her back, and along the way, Mingyue saw the flickering eyes of the soldiers, which contained curiosity but more indifference, and even resentment......

Mingyue guessed that they should know the cause and effect of this expedition to Chang'an, because of the difficulty of the process, the bright prospects advertised when recruiting new soldiers at the beginning were wiped out by the sinister along the way, and only resentment was left against themselves, the initiator......

Mingyue felt that it was her duty to ask about the current situation of the army, so she got out of the carriage and went straight to Fu Xuan to ask.

When Fu Xuan saw the bright moon in the distance, his originally sad face suddenly showed a happy smile.

Mingyue saw Fu Xuan's smile, and her nervous mood seemed to be much calmer, but for some reason her heart hurt, because Mingyue knew very well that Fu Xuan was patrolling almost day and night in order to prevent desertion along the way, even in this situation, he could still smile calmly at himself, how could Mingyue be indifferent and not feel guilty?

Mingyue is very clear about the composition of her own army, the recruits are twice as many as the veterans, and they are all temporarily recruited, many veterans are also the defeated soldiers of other Jin Dynasty armies left by Fu Yuan, and they are not really loyal to the Fu family, and the Fu family's own clan soldiers look down on these two compositions, contradictions and estrangements are increasing day by day with the growth of time, because the troops are in a hurry, there is no time to carry out large-scale training and live together for a long time, so people's hearts cannot be cohesive, no matter how to keep an eye on it, it is in vain, There are even times when the veterans who pat their chests to ensure that they complete the task are the ones who take the lead in escaping, so Fu Xuan has hardly rested recently, Mingyue is really worried that Fu Xuan will not be able to hold on, and she is even more worried that the army in front of her will disperse before it reaches Chang'an......

Mingyue came to Fu Xuan's side, took off the hat on her head, and looked at Fu Xuan quietly, wanting to speak again......

Fu Xuan looked at the eyes of the little girl in front of him, those beautiful eyes were full of deep worry, that worry was not a child's anxiety, but a kind of look that made people feel that they were really worried about all the soldiers, of course, Fu Xuan also really felt the concern for himself in Mingyue's eyes, this kind of caring eyes made him suddenly have a kind of illusion of déjà vu......

Mingyue noticed Fu Xuan's strange appearance and said worriedly, "Senior brother? What happened to you? ”

Fu Xuan was brought back to reality by Mingyue's call, and what he saw was a very young and immature face, and Fu Xuan realized that he had lost his temper before......

Fu Xuan smiled awkwardly and laughed at himself: "Your Royal Highness Princess, Shihong is rude, I hope the princess will forgive me more......"

Mingyue watched a 49-year-old man apologize to herself, she really couldn't stand it, and hurriedly said, "Is Senior Brother worrying about deserters?" ”

Fu Xuan heard that Mingyue was relieving him of the siege, and he was also infinitely emotional, nodded slowly, and said slowly: "Hey, it's Shihong who is incompetent and has no way to govern the army......"

"Senior brother don't blame yourself, we are in a hurry, when Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, first raised troops to resist Qin, there were also deserters from time to time, as long as we find out the reason, we will definitely be able to reach Chang'an smoothly."

Fu Xuan looked at Mingyue in surprise and blurted out: "Do you have a way?" ”

"Well, dismissal!"

"Severance !!????"

"Yes, instead of staring at the defense, it is better to gather everyone, know the righteousness first, and then continue to move forward if you are willing, and if you are unwilling, send a part of the military salary to them, let them go, I have thought about it, the people of the Fu clan will definitely stay, most of the people who disperse are recruits, and we don't need to be too false momentum, even if all the people go, what is the value of 3000 people? Why let too many lives die for our so-called ideals? ”

"To die for our ideals? 3,000 people are going to die? Moon! How could you have such an idea???!!!! ”

Mingyue was speechless when she was questioned by Fu Xuan, and she didn't dare to look into his eyes at all, Mingyue really wanted to tell him that I was so scared...... If he knew how worried he was these days, would he forgive me for my fears?

The gate of the east city of Mi County

A large number of people and soldiers gathered at the gate of the east city of Mi County, everyone raised their heads, looking at a head hanging on the high city gate, everyone fell into a carnival, some cried loudly, some laughed, and more scolded, especially those who had been killed by thieves and marshals in the family shouted the names of their dead relatives, all kinds of suppressed emotions were vented to their heart's content, and the indifferent hearts of the masses seemed to be activated, and everyone was chanting the names of Sima Ye and Li Ju, And the owner of that head is none other than the handsome Hou Du, the thief who has made them tremble recently!

Sima Ye, the king of Qin, stood at the head of the city, looking at the excited people chanting their names, as well as the name of Xingyang Taishou (and Ruyin Taishou, Ruyin Taishou is Sima Yuefeng) Li Ju, the young Qin King Sima Ye did not feel anything wrong, he only felt excited now, an excitement from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, he felt that he was a hero, a great young hero, this kind of exciting scene, he had never seen it with his own eyes, but in the heart of the young man, he had longed for it countless times, Today, everything has become a reality, even if it is the regret of not being able to go to Chang'an, he has completely forgotten it at this moment, and Sima Ye only has these people who worship him in his eyes......

Li Ju was also on the city tower, although he was a little happy, but when he heard his name and the name of Sima Ye, the king of Qin, being cheered by the people, the trace of joy on Li Ju's face slowly disappeared, and was replaced by deep worry, and even an inexplicable fear......

Xun Fan's face didn't show any emotion, he was just listening quietly, he needed to pick up his own nephew and also need to bury the root of Li Ju's body......

Xun Fan's eyes kept searching under the castle tower, until he saw a few familiar faces trying to incite the ignorant people, and then nodded with satisfaction......

Xun Group's eyes secretly glanced at the silent Yan Ding, and he was very proud, look at it, want to provoke the relationship between our Xun clan and King Qin? Dreaming, I can hold you Yan Ding yesterday, and I can hold Li Ju today, hahaha, wait and see!

Xun Group looked at Li Ju again while secretly being proud, and said silently in his heart: Li Ju, you have to climb higher, the higher the better, higher than Sima Ye, King of Qin, hahahahaha, everything you have at that time is our Xun family......

Yan Ding's face was a little pale, but he was confident that no one should be able to see his haggardness, and he was still a little unconvinced when the news of Li Ju's great destruction of the Hou Capital came. It wasn't until the head of the thief Marquis was sent to Sima Ye, the king of Qin, that Yan Ding had a feeling that his position in Mi County had collapsed......

Yan Ding looked at the people downstairs in the city, but his heart had become cold, Yan Ding's ears could no longer hear any sound, there was only one voice in his mind: I must leave this place!

But Yan Ding was unwilling, did he just give up his position to Li Ju? Is it just gone? No! I, Yan Ding, would never be so cowardly! But what can be done? Today's Li Ju is no longer something he can shake......

At night, Mi County is rarely brightly lit, the people are celebrating every household, and even a large number of displaced people have joined in this celebration, and the government has even rationed relief to them, which makes all the people temporarily forget that there are Hu soldiers by their side, and they may die at any time......

Li Ju returned to his mansion and was greeted by his wife, Wei Shuo (Wei Shuo, also known as Maoyi (272-349 AD), a native of Anyi, Hedong (present-day northern Xia County, Shanxi), and a famous calligrapher of the Jin Dynasty. Wei Shuo is the wife of Li Ju, the Taishou of Ruyin, known as Mrs. Wei, the Wei family has been working for generations, and Wei Shuo's husband Li Ju is also good at Lishu. Mrs. Wei studied under Zhong Xuan and passed on her method. Wang Xizhi learned from him when he was young, and Mrs. Wei was the enlightenment teacher of the "Book Sage". ）。

Mrs. Wei (Please allow me not to call her Mrs. Li, but to respect her historical name, Mrs. Wei, thank you for your understanding.) Looking at his husband, he frowned and asked with concern, "Why is your husband so sad?" ”

Li Ju looked at his beloved wife, and there was an indescribable affection in his heart, this woman had never left him since she married him, and accompanied her all the way to the north and south, never complained, and she lived with her can also be described as Qin Se and Ming, raising her eyebrows, such a respectful husband and wife life also made Li Ju have no internal worries, especially not long ago, his beloved wife also gave birth to a Lin'er for herself, named Chong, because of the war, worried about what accidents she had, so she prepared the words for the child early, called Hongdu, It is for Li Chong Hongdu (Li Chong is a famous writer, literary theorist, and bibliographer in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, born in the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty, the upper limit of his death is not earlier than 349 AD, and the lower limit is about 362-365 years. When Emperor Jin became the emperor, the prime minister Wang Dao summoned him as Peng. Transcription room to join the army. He also served as the county magistrate, a great writer, and was ordered to sort out the classics. Later, he moved to the middle school and passed away in office).

Li Ju didn't say anything, just gently hugged his wife, smelled the fragrance on her hair, and said gently: "Shuo'er, I miss you so much, I think about it so much!"
