Chapter 193: Youth

Guo Bin and his entourage came to the north, there were many people and horses, and the armor was extremely bright, although it was not a heavy cavalry equipped with armor and cavalry, but everyone was equipped with horses and wore leather armor. There is a pot of feather arrows on each side of the horse's buttocks, a head knife hanging from the waist, and a silver shining steel spear on his back, and all of them are veterans who have seen blood and have rushed to kill in the army, so one by one the murderous bandits of three or two thousand people will see it, and they will also flee when they hear the wind.

Under the leadership of Guo Bin and others, these more than 700 parts traveled all the way to Taiyuan, Bingzhou. What Guo Bin didn't expect was that after Wang Yun joined everyone, he also abandoned the carriage and asked Guo Bin for a first-class war horse, galloping all the way. This gray-bearded old man rode on a war horse, with a long sword hanging from his waist, wearing a cotton robe, and his beard fluttered in the wind while the horse galloped, and he had a heroic spirit.

That's right, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, as for the Qin and Han dynasties, the folk martial arts are still flourishing, and many scholars who travel to study are mostly carrying bows and swords, and Wang Yun has been a well-known local ranger since he was a teenager, and he naturally has a certain attainment in riding martial arts.

Because the matter was still urgent, the people went quickly.

Although Guo Bin went north with the permission of the Son of Heaven, after all, he has not returned to Yangzhai for most of the year since he came out to suppress the Yellow Turban Rebellion last year, and he, the new Yingchuan Taishou, has not yet arrived. Prestige is a subtle thing, not only because of one's own rank and position, but also because of the bits and pieces of daily work, which is the fundamental way to accumulate prestige.

Therefore, although Guo Bin trusts Xun Yu very much, he still has to go back as soon as possible, so he is serious.

After three or two days, everyone has arrived in Taiyuan, but the journey is unexpectedly smooth. So, Wang Yun led everyone to the manor outside Qi County outside Taiyuan City, and arranged for a group of people and horses to live under the command of Guan Yu. Guo Bin, on the other hand, rode a high-headed horse and took Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, and Zhang Fei to Taiyuan City, Dong Xing'er couldn't stay still, so she also rode her Moyu to follow.

It is one of the ancient Kyushus. According to legend, Yu ruled the flood, divided the domain into Kyushu, and the state was one of them. This ancient belonged to the domain of Jizhou, and Yu Shun was too far from north to south in Jizhou, and it was divided and merged with the state. Ying Shao said: "The land is between two valleys, so it is said to merge the state." During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jinyang (now Jinyuan District, Taiyuan City) was established in the state.

Jinyang City, the capital of Zhao State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, was founded in 497 BC in the northern edge of the Taiyuan Basin, because it was built in the Yang of Jinshui, so it is called Jinyang City. After the three families were divided, Zhao Xiangzi took Jinyang as the capital and established the Zhao State. In 423 B.C., Zhao Xianzi moved the capital from Jinyang to Zhongmu (now Hebi, Henan), and Jinyang was the capital of the early Zhao State for a total of 74 years.

It is located in the central hinterland of the Shanxi Plateau, the center of the Hedong region since ancient times, and it is a very important strategic place on the map of China. Historically, whether the political center was in the Central Plains in ancient times, or the westward migration of Guanzhong in the Middle Qin and Han dynasties, or the northward migration of the Beijing thistle since the Yuan Dynasty, it has always been in the central shoulder or elbow and armpit position.

Why? Judging from the location of the capitals of the previous dynasties in history, the Qin Dynasty built its capital in Xianyang, and the Western Han Dynasty built its capital in Chang'an, which is only separated by the Yellow River. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Jingshi moved to Luoyang, but it was still only separated by the Yellow River. By the time of Li Tang, the capital moved to Chang'an, but the importance of Taiyuan was more prominent, because it was the place of Longxing of the Li Tang Dynasty and had always been the capital of the Tang Dynasty. As for the Song Dynasty, not to mention the Southern Song Dynasty, even the Northern Song Dynasty never hit the edge of the Great Wall, and Taiyuan defended against the invasion of the Khitans and Jin people in the north as an important border town.

In the Yuan Dynasty and even the Ming and Qing dynasties, the capital of the country was moved to Beijing, and Taishi and Jingshi were only separated by a Taihang Mountain. In other words, it has always been in a position of relying on Gyeonggi on the outside and on the outside, and coexisting with the capital.

However, Taiyuan is located at the junction of the ancient Central Plains dryland farming economic zone and the northern grassland nomadic economic zone, Sima Qian drew a southwest-northeast farming and animal husbandry dividing line in the "Historical Records: The Biography of Goods and Colonies", and this dividing line happened to cross from Taiyuan.

Therefore, Taiyuan became the junction of the Central Plains and the grassland, and the two completely different production and lifestyles in the north and south of the dividing line not only promoted the exchange and integration of farming peoples and nomadic peoples, but also led to protracted ethnic conflicts in ancient China. Taiyuan is located as a key point in the south, north and east, so it has inevitably become an important center of ethnic conflict and ethnic integration, and a center for exchanges and conflicts between the Chinese people and the grassland peoples.

Guo Bin and the others have traveled all the way, and they have deeply felt the blending and mixing of different nationalities. There are not only Central Plains people and Hu people in fur coats who wear long robes or short browns, but also Huns who wear Hanfu but have wide, prominent cheekbones and slightly deep eye sockets.

Guo Bin went north to Saiwai this time, since it was a tolerance, he naturally had to go to the Taishou Mansion, otherwise he would be arrogant and not take it seriously. After leaving the Taishou Mansion, Guo Bin went to the Bingzhou Assassin Mansion under the guidance of Wang Yun's nephew. Wang Yun's nephew's name is Wang Ling, and he is a thirteen-year-old fat man.

This kid grew up in Taiyuan City, so he is very clear about the roads and small roads in Taiyuan City. When everyone walked to a thoroughfare, they were walking, but they heard a commotion in the roadside restaurant, the sound of cups and plates breaking and the exclamations of the guests, and then they saw a window on the second floor slammed open by a huge black shadow. The shadow slammed open the window and fell to the ground, but it turned out to be a person. I saw that this person was wearing a fur coat and had a fierce face, obviously a Huns, but at this time he was lying on the ground and couldn't get up.

The people around quickly came and formed a circle, pointing and pointing in their hands, but they did not come forward to help. Wang Ling said to Guo Bin: "Good fall!" These Hu people, wandering around the city in groups all day long, have done many things to bully men and women, and finally suffered retribution at this time. ”

Guo Bin was surprised in his heart and asked, "Oh? The Huns were so rampant? Didn't you hear that these Southern Huns had already joined the Han Dynasty? Does the government not care about them? ”

Wang Ling said: "Where can the government manage it?" The Yellow Turban thieves are raging, and the officials and officers and soldiers in the county are too busy to suppress the bandits, so where can they still have the leisure to care about them? Don't look at these people on the outside, in fact, they are shrewd in their hearts, they are bigger than they don't commit, and the small things are constant, and the government can only turn a blind eye. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Ling leaned towards Guo Bin, pulled his sleeve, attached it to his ear, and said, "I heard that the yellow turban thieves in front of him were in chaos, and many of these Hu people were mixed in. robbed the house, and made a fortune. ”

Guo Bin nodded slowly, this Taiyuan has indeed shown signs of five nonsense.

Speaking of which, there was a sound of swords colliding in the store, Guo Bin and Xi Zhicai glanced at each other, I didn't expect the Huns to be so rampant that they dared to carry a knife in Taiyuan City?

But who could have imagined that after a short time, five or six strong men in fur furs also fell out in the posture of the person before, and looking at their appearance, they were clearly in a group.

The fighting in the store stopped, and after a long time, I saw a young man in a blue robe walking slowly out of the store. This young man was two or three inches taller than Guo Binshang, a crumpled samurai robe covered with wine stains, and a handsome and handsome face under his long hair tied up with a strip of burlap.

It's just that this person has obviously drunk a lot of wine, his face is red, his eyes are bloodshot, and he holds a stick with eyebrows, which is even more majestic.

When the Huns saw the young man come out, they scattered in a panic, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Guo Bin saw that although this person was drunk, he staggered but saw the rules, and when the Qi Mei stick waved, the stick end dangled in front of everyone, and he could attack at any time, which showed that he was a stranger with excellent martial arts.

Just as he was about to move forward to make friends with him, the man squinted his drunken eyes, stared at Dong Xing'er, and staggered over.

Seeing that he was about to grab Dong Xing'er's wrist, Guo Bin was furious and flew up and kicked him in the waist.

Although the man was drunk, his reaction was also extremely fast, seeing Guo Bin's foot with the whirring wind, he was very vicious, where did he dare to take it hard? I had to hold both ends of the Qi Mei stick with both hands, and used the Qi Mei stick as a shield to block this kick, and I jumped away with the power of this kick and the rebound of the stick.

Originally, Dong Xing'er's family martial arts was known for its lightness and dexterity, and her hands were as flexible and soft as a snake. Not to mention that the young man's hands were still far away from Dong Xing'er's wrists, even if someone with great strength held them, she also had more than a dozen ways to escape easily. Although Guo Bin knows it in his heart, he cares about it, and he can't think about it so much in a hurry. In his eyes, Dong Xing'er is just a delicate and naughty girl, because she often forgets about her wonderful martial arts.

However, seeing Guo Bin's move, Dong Xing'er only had sweetness left in her heart, and she was stunned on the spot, unable to move half a step.

The young man took Guo Bin's kick, and when he saw the strength, he knew that he had met a master. Unexpectedly, he was not discouraged, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and seeing Guo Bin with his bare hands, he also threw his own eyebrow stick, rubbed his body and pounced on him.

Guo Bin exchanged hands with the young man, and when he saw that he was both sensitive and strong, he felt a sense of pity in his heart. Seeing him throw away the Qi Mei stick, Guo Bin was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the man rubbing his body and rushing towards him, he let out a long laugh, waved his palms, and attacked the young man's chest and waist. This trick is to use the dragon descending palm technique created by Zhang Jiao.

The young man saw that Guo Bin's palms seemed to be clumsy and skillful attacking him, although it was only two palms, but the momentum was amazing, giving people an irresistible feeling. At the moment, he performed a smart footwork, with the twisting of his waist to avoid a palm, and then put his hands together to support the other hand that Guo Bin had turned into a fist, and narrowly avoided Guo Bin's blow.

Guo Bin was surprised when he saw that the other party avoided it. Zhang Jiao's set of dragon descending palm techniques, he often practices on weekdays, and the objects of actual combat are also Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others. This trick "the dragon has no head" is Guo Bin later added to him the name, pay attention to the coexistence of virtual and real, although the two hands are real and virtual, but they can be converted at any time, the real can be changed into a virtual move, and the virtual can be turned into reality.

This set of palms, each palm contains a deep internal strength, as long as it hits, the internal strength will be like the tide of the sea surging wave after wave, the most difficult to resist. The so-called "void but unyielding, moving and getting out". Even with the ability of Guan Yu or Zhang Fei, when Guo Bin used this trick and the dragons were leaderless, they could only retreat and retreat, but where did they think that someone could take them all?

Author's note: There are not many clues, can anyone guess who this young man is? There is no prize for guessing correctly. In addition, thank you to Zhao Xiaozhen for the monthly ticket of children's shoes and the children's shoes who silently left a red ticket for Qianyang.
