Chapter 115: Wuguan
Qinling, the winding Wuguan Road shuttles between the countless mountains of the Qinling Mountains, as the main road between Guanzhong and Shannan, Wuguan Road has been a place for soldiers to fight for since ancient times. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The Sui army held the Wuguan, and the defense was that the Shannan Zhou army broke through the pass, and then advanced along the ancient road all the way to the northwest Guanzhong, once it successfully broke through the pass, Chang'an was exposed to the Zhou army's soldiers.
On the high mountain on the south side of Wuguan, there are more than ten people climbing the mountain on a rugged mountain road, they are heading towards the south of the mountain, it seems that they want to bypass Wuguan, but the mountain road is narrow, and even one person is difficult to walk and needs to use both hands and feet, and I don't know if I can pass safely.
It is so dangerous but it is impossible not to detour, Wuguan is now 'this road is not passable', and all those who try to enter the east from Wuguan will be regarded as a fine work of the Zhou State, of course, those who hold secret orders are not counted, and the traders who come and go to Guanzhong and Shannan can only find another way.
"Let's rest for a while, and then move forward." The leader said, and the entourage immediately found a safe place to sit down, took out a bamboo tube and drank water, Wu Ming took out a cooking cake from his arms and handed it to a young man beside him.
"Let's eat first, or you won't have the strength to climb the mountain."
The man hummed, took the cake and ate it, but it was different from the gobbling up appearance of the others, eating carefully and slowly, although he was dressed in men's clothes and tied his hair in a bun, but his complexion was very fair, he looked like fine skin and tender meat, and his chest was bulging, obviously a woman.
"Miss Sima, can you still stand it?" Jia Niu asked, seeing that the other party nodded a little embarrassedly, he turned to Wu Ming and quipped: "I said why did you want to stay at that time, it turns out that there is something inside!" ā
"Don't talk nonsense, Miss Sima and I are innocent..."Wu Ming's face turned red rarely, and he said this with a little lack of confidence.
The girl dressed as a man turned red when she heard this, but she lowered her head to eat the cooking cake, Jia Niu snatched Wu Ming's bamboo tube with a narrow face, and handed it to the girl flatteringly: "Ah Ming said that he wants to be innocent, then I, Jia Niu, will come to offer courtesy." ā
The people around laughed dumbly when they saw this, Wu Ming, who was a monk and a layman, actually caught a girl before them, which was really unbearable, and everyone decided to have a good toss after returning to Bazhou.
They are the guards of the mansion sent by Yuwen Wen to Chang'an to 'lurk', responsible for keeping in touch with Peiguo Gong Zheng Yi, and doing what they can by the way, and now they are returning to Shannan Bazhou according to the plan, and Jia Niu and others, who returned to Bazhou in advance, rushed to Chang'an first, and were responsible for leading the way through the Qinling Mountains.
Of course, it is the Wuguan Ancient Road, but it is necessary to detour the mountain road near Wuguan, Jia Niu followed Peiguo Gong Zheng Yi's people last time, remembered the path clearly, and returned to Chang'an again with the letter and the companion of the substitute after returning to Bazhou, and then walked again as a guide.
After more than a year of training, Wu Ming, Jia Niu and other guards are getting more and more mature, and more than ten people will inevitably encounter people with bad intentions when they cross the mountains and mountains, but they are not vegetarians, and they should bring a lot of weapons, and they are not afraid of thieves who cut the path.
"It's autumn, I want to be able to return to Bazhou before the snow, and I don't know what happened to everyone in the house." One sighed.
Jia Niu patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "The courtyard in the house should be repaired, Steward Li said, everyone will go and see it then." ā
"If you work harder, you don't have to hide and hide when you get to the boundary of Shannan, you don't have to work so hard along the way!"
"On a boat? Is it from Fancheng to get on the boat? ā
"You can get on the boat in Yucheng, go all the way down into the Han River and then enter the Yangtze River, and soon arrive in Bazhou with a smooth wind all the way." Jia Niu explained that he had made a trip back to Bazhou and knew the route of the return trip clearly.
"Do you want to enter the Yangtze River? Chen Guoyingzhou's sailor didn't eat dry rice? I'm not going to be stopped on the boat, am I? ā
"Hey, Yingzhou is now being tossed by the Hulin Army and the officers and soldiers to vomit blood, and the naval warships have been burned again, where do you dare to come out to patrol the river, now Hankou to Bakou is the world of the official army and the naval division." Jia Niu explained.
Wu Ming nodded when he heard this, with a car and boat to travel, it is indeed a lot easier, in fact, it doesn't matter if he travels long distances, and the other guards can also endure it, but the one next to him can't.
He asked the girl with concern if her feet were blistered, after all, walking on a mountain road is not as good as flat ground, and ordinary people may not be able to stand it after walking on a mountain road for a long time, let alone the former queen.
Sima Lingji, the empress of Emperor Yuwen Xian of the Zhou State, was suspected of rebellion two years ago because of his father Sima Xuan, and Yuwen Xian deposed him as a concubine, of course, the actual order was naturally Yang Jian.
Four years ago, the then emperor of the Zhou State Yuwenyun, ingeniously wanted to be the emperor, set up the prince Yuwen as the emperor, and changed the Yuan elephant, although the little emperor was only seven years old, but the emperor must have a queen to be decent, so there is a queen.
Sima Lingji was only twelve years old when she married Yuwen Xian, and Yu Wenxian was only seven years old at the time, and the couple were just young children and girls, so it was a purely political marriage.
Two years ago, Sima Lingji was deposed as a concubine and driven out of the palace, and his father Sima Xiao's whereabouts are unknown, and he lives with his mother Gao and two half-brothers, but the phoenix that landed is not as good as a chicken, and she can only watch her mother's eyes and suffer all day, which involves the entangled housework of the Sima family.
His father Sima Xiaonan was originally a powerful person in Qi State, Sima Ziru, the father of Sima Xiaonan, was the confidant of Emperor Gao Huan of Qi Shenwu, and the father and son were prominent in Qi State, and Sima Xiaonan married Gao Huan's daughter as his wife.
However, he was later implicated in the rebellion of the clan, Sima Xiaonan fled with his family and fled to the Zhou State, and became a brother with Yang Zhong, the then Duke of Sui.
Sima took a concubine after arriving in the Zhou Kingdom, and naturally hated the old man with a newcomer, and his wife Gao gradually became resentful when he fell out of favor, and Sima eliminated difficulties and went out to take only the favored concubine and the young son born to him, which made Gao more and more dissatisfied.
It is precisely because of this that after Sima eliminated the difficulty and absconded against the case, the Gao family and his two sons who stayed in Chang'an were not punished, but Sima Lingji, who was a concubine, was deposed as a concubine and had no choice but to come back to live with the Gao family.
When Gao saw his concubine Sima Lingji, he thought of that little slut, and his heart was naturally unhappy, and it was common to beat and scold him at every turn, so Sima Lingji, who was kicked out of the palace, was in a worse situation.
Her little husband Yu Wenxian soon 'died', one night Sima Lingji secretly burned paper money in the backyard to her deceased husband, was scolded and slapped by her mother-in-law, and then Gao invited the old woman to summon the cat ghost to punish the negative person Sima to eliminate the difficulty, this scene happened to be seen by Wu Ming, who was hiding next door.
One day, Wu Ming bumped into a woman on the street of Chang'an who was bullied, and he recognized this as the poor girl next door that night after he ran away from the splash, so he wanted to 'help each other'.
After a long time, the two have a good impression of each other, but recently Sima Lingji's mother Gao said that he wanted to marry off the money-losing goods as soon as possible, Wu Ming was about to return to Bazhou at this time, and he came to 'elopement' in a hurry.
There is an extra burden for no reason, and she is still a woman, which will naturally affect the itinerary of the group to return to Bazhou, Wu Ming patted his chest and promised that he would bear the consequences, and asked the team leader to agree to take Sima Lingji on the road together.
He had already made up his mind that if Sima Lingji couldn't walk, then he would carry it on his back, and he would return to Bazhou step by step and take him to escape from the sea of suffering.
After a short break, the group was about to continue moving forward, and the leader who used the clairvoyant mirror to check the surrounding situation suddenly exclaimed, he pointed to the direction of Wuguan at the foot of the mountain, and asked the others to use the clairvoyant mirror to watch.
"What's that? It seems that there are a lot of people out of the customs..."
Wu Ming took the clairvoyant mirror and looked in the direction of Wuguan, and then he was stunned, because in the clairvoyant mirror, he saw countless people in yellow clothes, who were marching in line through Wuguan towards the southeast.
"It's the Sui army, they're going to Shannan, they're going to fight, they're going to fight a big battle!" (To be continued.) )
