Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Soldier Master Chiyou
"Sister, the hot water has been boiled, just wait for Xianggong to come back."
Liangliang Shanbo, Wanzi City, Hu Sanniang walked out of the room and came to Zhang Zhenniang, who was being helped by Jin'er to take a walk in the yard.
Counting up, Zhang Zhenniang is now more than eight months pregnant, almost nine months old.
Originally, according to the general view of this era, pregnant women generally had to recuperate mainly for fear of bumping into them.
However, when Lin Chong's sister was pregnant in her previous life, she heard the doctor say that walking more is good for pregnant women, conducive to smooth delivery, and improving sleep.
So Lin Chong asked Zhenniang to walk more before he set out on the expedition, and Zhang Zhenniang also did so, insisting on walking every day, and the effect was very good.
Both the mental state and the physical state are much better than those of ordinary pregnant women, and even the divine doctor An Daoquan praised it after diagnosing the pulse.
But even so, Zhang Zhenniang naturally hopes that her husband can always be by her side.
At this time, Lin Chong is finally coming back, although Zhang Zhenniang is in the back house of Wanzi City at the moment, her heart has already flown to the golden beach and even Shuibo South City.
Zhang Zhenniang nodded, gently touched her bulging belly and said, "This kid must also miss his father, I can feel that he is obviously much more lively these days." ”
Hu Sanniang also said with some longing: "Sister, if the child is born, it will definitely be very similar to Xianggong, and he will be as heroic as Xianggong!" ”
"Of course it is." Zhang Zhenniang said softly.
At this time, Hu Sanniang was full of joy and admiration: "This time the Xianggong is back, I can stay at home for a few more days, and I don't have to go on the expedition again!" Now that Western Xia has been destroyed, and the war on the Goryeo side is almost over, it is time for Xianggong to rest for a while.
Hehe...... Xiang Gong is really powerful, the Western Army has been fighting with the Western thieves for decades, and the siege of Xingqing Mansion has been for several months, but the result is that it can't be defeated, Xiang Gong wiped out the 200,000 troops of the King of Jin as soon as he went, and quickly broke through Xingqing Mansion. Originally, I was worried that it would take a long time......"
Zhang Zhenniang was also embarrassed when she heard this, and said proudly: "Well, of course Xianggong is amazing!" Our husband is a rare hero in this world! ”
Hu Sanniang nodded again and again, her eyes were full of little stars of admiration, as if she thought of something, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Sister, before I went back to my parents' house, do you know what the storytellers in the tea house say about Xianggong?" ”
"How?"
Hu Sanniang glanced at Zhang Zhenniang, no more than she had a maiden home in Hujiazhuang, Yunzhou, and the days of pregnancy were not long, so she could often go outside to take a walk around, see the changes in Ji and Yun, and listen to the people's discussions about Liangshanjun and Xianggong.
At this time, seeing that Zhang Zhenniang was very interested, Hu Sanniang immediately said in a colorful voice: "Which storytellers say that Xianggong is the master of the soldiers, and he looks like a normal person in ordinary times, but when he arrives on the battlefield, he will become a giant of eight feet, with horns on his head, wings on his back, green fangs, copper skin and iron bones......
Then he also said that Xiang Gong's jade lion horse in the night is not an ordinary horse, but a heavenly horse in the sky, which is specially sent down to earth for Xiang Gong to ride.
They said, Xiang Gong arrived in Western Xia, rode to the battlefield, every time as long as he transformed, those Western thieves saw Xiang Gong and immediately frightened to run away, and if they couldn't win, they knelt on the ground and begged to surrender, otherwise the Western Army couldn't pacify the Western thieves after fighting for so many years, and Xiang Gong was immediately pacified as soon as he went? ”
Ancient Chinese storytellers were like this, they always liked to make up some supernatural things.
For example, the reason why the famous general Xue Rengui of the Tang Dynasty was so powerful that the Goguryeo people had no power to fight back was because he ate the three-cage drawer noodles made by the Nine Heavens Xuannu Niangniang, so he had the power of one dragon, two tigers and nine oxen.
And Yue Fei led the Yue family army to repeatedly break the Jin soldiers, and the Jin soldiers were terrified, and the storytellers of later generations also had their explanations, that is: The reason why Yue Fei is so powerful is because he is the reincarnation of the Dapeng Golden-winged Bird in front of the Buddha!
But since Yue Fei is so powerful, why was he killed? The reason is that Song Huizong accidentally wrote "Jade Emperor" as "Emperor Wanggu Emperor", so the Jade Emperor Long Yan was furious, so he sent the Red Whisker Dragon to the lower realm, turned into the Jin King and the son of the Golden Vulture, and destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty.
And the framed Yue Fei's Qin Hui is the reincarnation of the iron-backed king, who was pecked blind in his left eye by the Dapeng Goldenfinch when he did bad things in his previous life, so he reincarnated with a grudge to take revenge.
And Qin Hui's wife Wang is also the reincarnation of something in the sky, and she also had a grudge against Dapeng Bird in her previous life, so she was reincarnated to take revenge.
In this way, everything can be explained, whether it is the destruction of the Northern Song Dynasty, or the death of Yue Fei, a good man, by a bad person, it is because of the debts of the previous life and is destined to suffer this tribulation; Or accidentally offended the Jade Emperor, God wants to destroy the Northern Song Dynasty, how can human power stop it?
When he arrived at Lin Chong's place, it was the same way, in fact, at the beginning, especially when the imperial court tore up the covenant and sent 200,000 troops to lay a net to exterminate the Liangshan army, at that time, whether it was merchants from all over the world or nearby villagers like Feng Sanniang and A-Niang, they all thought that the Liangshan army was going to end.
But the final result was that the Liangshan army won the 200,000 soldiers and horses of the imperial court cleanly, and also broke through the outer city of Bianliang in one fell swoop, forcing the imperial court to sign an alliance under the city.
This expedition to Western Xia was the same, and everyone thought that it would take a long time, and they were even a little worried.
As a result, the news of a great victory came just after the new year, and the brilliant results were unbelievable.
20,000 Liangshan troops, almost completely annihilated the main force of 200,000 Western thieves; In one battle, he broke through the Xingqing Mansion that the Western Army had not captured for seven months!
These people naturally don't know what happened, and they don't understand the specific reasons that determine the victory or defeat of the battlefield, the only thing they think of is that the Liangshan Army is really a god, it is simply a heavenly soldier and a general!
Then they began to mythologize Lin Chonglai, the founder of the Liangshan Army, and the first thing they thought of was the soldier master Chi You.
Legend has it that in ancient times, Chiyou is the invincible Chinese tribe, the god of war who is extremely brave, Chiyou and the Yellow Emperor compete, even if the Yellow Emperor is not the enemy, and finally asked the gods to help, kill the sky dark, blood flowed like a river, this will kill Chi You.
Although Chiyou was defeated by the Yellow Emperor, his brave and resolute demeanor of the god of war has been respected by people for generations, even from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, there are eight gods in the Qi land, called "eight gods", these eight gods are called God, and the temple is Qi...... The second is the landlord, the father of the ancestral temple Taishan Liang...... The three are said to be the master of the soldiers, the ancestral hall is you, and the Chiyou is in the land supervision township of Dongping, and the western border of Qi is also.
The tomb of Chiyou mentioned here is actually in the territory of Juye County, Jeju, and there was a temple built on it to worship at four o'clock.
And Lin Chong's identity in the imperial court happened to be the envoy of the Juye Festival.
It is because the people of Qidi, who have worshiped Chiyou and sacrificed Chiyou for a long time, connected Lin Chong and Chiyou at the first time.
As soon as the New Year passed, the news that Lin Chong was the reincarnation of the soldier master Chi You quickly spread through the mouths of these storytellers on Jingdong Road, and almost everyone knew about it, but Zhang Zhenniang had been staying in Wanzi City.
