12, Li Piao

Fu Xie is dead!

Like Li Guang, the flying general of the former Han Dynasty, this tragic general who had repeatedly made military exploits but was unable to become a marquis in the end, resolutely refused the persuasion of the Liangzhou coalition army to surrender, and shed the last drop of blood outside the gate of Jicheng.

And just ten days later, the dusty Yan Xing and others also set foot on this land stained red by Fu Xie's blood.

The members of the coalition army were mixed, and the military officials in charge of military affairs were obviously familiar with these Han and Hu affairs, and it didn't take long to arrange and distribute the camps where the soldiers and horses were stationed according to the tribal and family origins, and Yan Xing, the men and horses of the various families in Jincheng, were uniformly arranged in the camps on the outskirts of the southern city.

Yan Xing waved his hand and directly handed over to Yan Shun, Ma Lin and others to be responsible, he took a few cronies to ride around, beat horses and inspected the camp, remembered the nearby mountains, the location of the river, the direction and a few small hills nearby, and then beat the horse and ran towards Jicheng.

The history of Jicheng has a long history, which has been recorded in the "Historical Records of Qin Benji" by Ma Qian of Taishi Company, "(Qin Wugong) ten years, cutting down Tai, Jirong, and the first county. ”

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, the Qin State, which was alone in the west, conquered Rongdi and began to establish a county system to govern this newly conquered land. In the former Han Dynasty, it belonged to Tianshui County, and during the Yongping period of this dynasty, Tianshui County was renamed Hanyang County, and the governance office was located in Jicheng.

In the first year of Zhongping, when the rebellion of Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou first started, Bian Zhang, Han Sui and others also led soldiers and horses to attack, but fortunately, the Hanyang Changshi Gaixun was well guarded, and Bian, Han and others could only look at the city and sigh, and left in a huff, and turned to attack Jincheng and Longxi.

And this time the strength of the offensive and defensive sides is very different, in the process of capturing the city, except for the city gate, there was no fierce battle in other places, so the city of Jicheng luckily escaped the disaster affected by the military disaster.

Walking the horse to the west gate of Jicheng, looking at the tall and majestic city towers and the battlements lined up, Yan Xing stopped the horses with special interest. A large area of dense grass outside the city was trampled flat, some of the grass was cut open by horses' hooves and the ground was exposed, leaving traces of trampling by men and horses, and there were traces of weapons chopping and arrows on the city walls and gates, all of which showed that a fierce battle had taken place in this place not long ago.

At the head of the city and at the gate of the city, there were coalition soldiers with spears and halberds guarding them, and when they saw Yan Xing and his party who stopped to watch, they became vigilant, and after observing for a while, they found that there was nothing wrong before diverting their attention. Yan Xing took out the sheepskin map and spread it out for comparison, then took out a brush and added the marks prepared by the errata after his own field investigation according to the original description, and carefully circled a few key locations before solemnly putting away the sheepskin map again and casting his eyes on the city gate.

After the war, the city of Ji was extremely deserted and depressed, and the lively scene of people and horses and business travelers in the past disappeared, leaving only the yellow-colored city walls and the allied soldiers who refused to defend the city. Yan Xing stationed on his horse and looked around the four fields, there were few traces of ordinary Qiantou and merchant travelers on the official road, only occasionally a group of scout cavalry roared past, and all kinds of Han, Qiang, Di, and Hu banners planted on the camp of the coalition army near and far stood in the wind, announcing the victor's conquest of this land.

Seeing that there was no one around, Yan Xing simply believed in the horse's reins, let go of the reins in his hand and let the horse walk along the city wall by himself, remembering that before leaving, his little sister became unusually ashamed, and privately stuffed a crumpled sachet into his hand, and then spread his legs like a rabbit and ran away, looking back at Yan Xing's expression as he walked, and shouted "Big brother, remember to come back early······

Thinking of this, Yan Xing's always calm face showed a knowing smile, he took the sachet filled with vanilla given by his little sister in his hand and looked at it carefully, looking at the crooked embroidery on the sachet, like a chicken not a chicken, like an eagle not an eagle pattern, Yan Xing seemed to be looking at his little sister with those big watery eyes, pouting her small mouth, her face flushed, sitting in the yard where she used to play and playing, clumsily embroidering patterns and patterns, deep in her heart like injecting a pool of warm and clear spring water, It made Yan Xing feel a little warm in Jicheng, which was in a foreign country.

Unfortunately, this brief warm memory was soon interrupted by the sound of horses' hooves, and when Yan Xing reined in his horse and looked back, Zhao Hongzheng and a young man dressed in military uniform, carrying a bow and arrows, rode side by side, followed by several horsemen.

"Brother really let us find it, I heard that your family said that you came to the west of the city, I followed and chased you, and finally found you!"

Zhao Hong rode the horse, panting slightly, stopped the horse when he got closer, pointed to the young man in military uniform beside him with great interest, and introduced:

"Haha, I would like to introduce you to a hero of our Xizhou, who is the young talent of the Li family in Longxi that I often mention to you, Li Xiao and Li Boju!"

In fact, Zhao Hong had never talked to him about this person at all, but when he heard the origin of the Li family in Longxi, Yan Xing still knew it in his heart.

The ancestral home of the Li family in Longxi is in Huaili, Guanzhong, after moving to Longxi, there are many generals in the Qin and Han dynasties, Li Chong, Li Yao, Li Xin of the Qin Dynasty, Li Guang, Li Jiao, Li Kang, and Li Ling of the former Han Dynasty are mostly brave and brave soldiers to go out of the army, and they have repeatedly made military exploits.

Although it is said that in the last years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty because of the incident of Li Ling's surrender to the Xiongnu, other members of the Li family were also implicated in this incident, which made the Li family suffer a blow of annihilation, and the family was once "in decline", but after nearly two hundred years of recuperation and recovery and development, the Li family in Longxi has continued to spread out in various parts of Liangzhou, and has become a member of the wealthy family surname that cannot be ignored in Liangzhou at present, and in the future it will also change with the changes of the times, the rise and fall of the dynasty, and transform into a famous behemoth - Longxi Li.

Since the other party is called the talent of the Li family in Longxi by Zhao Hong, he must have a certain relationship with the Li family. Yan Xing smiled and dismounted and saluted the other party, saying:

"I have heard the name of Brother Li and the Gao clan for a long time, and I am in Xia Yunwu Yan Xing, Yan Yanming!"

Yan Xing knew very well that although the children of the Hao family were humble and polite in making friends, in essence, most people still boasted of their high names and looked down on ordinary people. This young man in military uniform was quite arrogant, and he didn't want to weaken his momentum in front of him when he saw him for the first time, so he first dismounted and saluted, but at the same time, he also pointed out that the first thing he respected was the prestige of the Li family in Longxi in Liangzhou.

Zhao Hong laughed, and immediately dismounted and greeted Yan Xing. And Li Biao, who was sitting on the horse, looked at Yan Xing himself with interest, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and after Yan and Zhao saw each other, they also turned over and dismounted to greet Yan Xing.

"In Xia Di Dao Li Piao, I have seen Yan Jun!"

Seeing the other party's skills under Marisso, the steps when he walked and the calluses between his fingers when he stretched out his hand to salute, Yan Xing immediately had a position on the martial arts of the young man with hard facial features and wheat yellow complexion in front of him.

The first time they met, the three of them chatted about Jicheng Xingsheng, bow and horse archery, and Xizhou terroir, this Li Biao was a little arrogant on the outside, but he was a little more arrogant when he talked, and he was quite insightful in conversation, Yan Xing secretly sighed, Zhao Hong didn't seem to be familiar with bow horses, but he didn't expect to make friends with Xizhou heroes like Li Biao.

The three of them talked about sexuality, after re-getting on the horse, they ran to the north of the city, the north side of Jicheng happened to be the Weishui River flowing through, and the three of them ran up a hill on the north high place, leaving Hu Cong to let the horse rest under the hill. Waving a horsewhip from a high place and pointing at the trend of the river and mountains, the interest of watching came, and the three of them also became enthusiastic.

Zhao Hong's eyes quickly swept over the expressions of Yan and Li, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he said with a smile in the face of Yan Xing:

"Didn't Brother Yan mention the movements of the coalition forces after they captured Jicheng a few days ago, I don't know if after these days, I can think about it in my heart?"

As soon as he heard Zhao Hong mention this matter, Yan Xing's heart moved, his face was silent, and he laughed:

"It's just that in the marching army, fortunately attached to the tail, the army is dispatched, and the day is getting richer, how can such a major event be guessed below."

"Haha, otherwise, not long ago, Hong had relayed Brother Yan's words to Brother Li, and Brother Li thought for a moment and then had an idea, which coincided with Hong's thoughts after thinking for a long time. Well-Brother Li also specially wanted to come and see Brother Yan for this reason! ”

"Oh, but why?" Hearing Zhao Hong say that Li Biao specifically wanted to see him, the coldness in Yan Xing's eyes flashed, and he turned to Li Biao with a smile and made an inquiry.

Li Biao's face was calm and calm, and after intertwining with Yan Xing's gaze in the air for a while, he slowly spoke:

"From Di Dao's entourage, he saw with his own eyes that the soldiers and horses of the coalition army captured Jicheng, what he saw and heard, the people in the army praised the celebrations, and disputed the food, property, gold and silk in the city, and Yan Jun heard that the coalition army took Jicheng after not being happy and worried, and he first considered the future movement of the coalition army. The person who hears that he is planning great things must think more deeply than ordinary people, and if he rushes to this point, he must come to see Yan Jun! ”

Feeling that Li Xiao's gaze instantly became sharp, as if he wanted to see through what he was thinking in his heart, Yan Xing couldn't help but be secretly frightened in his heart, he didn't expect that in order to divert Zhao Hong's topic that day, he spoke casually, but he pulled himself into another big pit.

However, for the other party's temptation with sincerity, the smile on Yan Xing's face did not change, and he still said with a smile:

"Don't dare, it's common to hear" "A wise man must have a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and a fool must have a gain in a thousand thoughts", so although he is not talented, he also thinks a lot about people and things, but it unexpectedly aroused Brother Li's idea, but he laughed! ”

Seeing that Yan Xing wanted to understate his temptation again, Li Biao didn't care, he patted his horse forward, overlooking Weishui in the distance, which was going east downstream, burst out with pride, raised his horse whip and said to Weishui:

"Yan Jun doesn't have to be humble, the ancients said, 'The white head is still new, and the cover is the same', although the three of you and I are the first to meet, but they are also like-minded, just like old people. Now that Jicheng is down, the future direction of the coalition army is nothing more than going north, south, west, and returning to the division to sweep the four counties of Hexi several ways, and Zhao Xiandi's thoughts coincide with each other, Yan Jun must have made a decision in his heart, there is no one else here, why not be honest here! ”

After listening to the other party, Yan Xing was still smiling, but he didn't speak.

At this time, Zhao Hong, who was watching the two of them on the side, had to speak, he let out a hearty laugh and said;

"It's so good, why don't we and the three of us write what we think in our hands, and use our palms as proof, no need to say more!"

This proposal is obviously the most suitable to break the current deadlock between the three of them, Yan Xing looked at Li Piao, and agreed with a slight sigh, Zhao Hong smiled and took out a brush wrapped in silk from his sleeve, and directly opened the water bladder, dipped it in a little water, and after the three of them dismounted, they took turns to quickly write down their thoughts in the palm of their hands, and after forming a circle, they opened their palms at the same time.

As evidenced by the palms, the three of them burst into laughter when they saw their respective words.

Li Biao's handwriting is unrestrained and vigorous, with a "west" character written on the palm of his hand, and Zhao Hong wrote the word "west" with a silkworm head swallowtail and a symmetrical and uniform subordinate, and then looked at Yan Xing's palm, the font is square, the rules are strict, and two words are neatly written.

"Chang'an!"
