Chapter 55: Homesickness in the Month and a Half II
"The full moon flies into the mirror, and the big knife is folded in the heart. Turn the tent and go far away, and climb the laurel and look up to the sky. The waterway is suspicious of frost and snow, and the forest dwells see feathers. At this time, looking at the white rabbit, I want to count everything. ”
Liu Chang looked up at the night sky of the full moon, sat by the bonfire, and recited the verses of the later Tang Dynasty poet Saint Du Fu.
"Brother Liu Xian, homesick?" Cao Cao came to Liu Chang's side with a wine bowl, heard Liu Chang's plagiarized verses, and after a little thought, asked in a caring tone.
Liu Chang looked at Cao Cao, who was concerned at the moment, and said with a slight smile: "Yes! After coming out for a long time, I always miss the grass and trees at home, and the pavilions and pavilions in my hometown. Isn't Brother Meng De homesick? ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he also looked up at the full moon that had risen, suddenly lowered his head, picked up the wine bowl and said: "Come brother, get drunk to relieve a thousand sorrows, such a festive beauty, why don't you and I have a good drink, don't get drunk and don't return!" ”
Hearing this, Liu Chang also poured the wine in the bowl, and after touching it with Cao Cao, he raised his head and drank it. Soon, the two of them just like this, you have a bowl, and I drink it in one cup.
"Woo~"
I don't know when, a melodious Xun sound sounded from the crowd. Everyone slowly put down the wine bowl and food in their hands, and quietly listened to the sound of Xun.
Xun, a very ancient wind instrument, can be traced back to the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors in ancient times, and became an indispensable instrument in the court after the Qin and Han dynasties. However, this kind of musical instrument was lost in the Qing Dynasty, and it was not until more than 30 years after the establishment of the people's power that an archaeologist and musician discovered and re-studied the production and blowing method of Xun, which was loved and respected by many ancient music lovers because of its simple and beautiful tone. In later generations, Liu Chang also listened to the owner play in a shop specializing in ancient musical instruments by chance, and was attracted by its unique tone, which he could not forget for a long time. Because of this, when the sound of music sounded in the wilderness, Liu Chang recognized it as Xun.
The sound of Xun is poignant and melodious, it is a sacrificial musical instrument, at this moment, everyone thinks of distant families, friends, and comrades and relatives who died in the war in the sound of Xun. For a while, the bonfire dinner, which was still lively and lively, became heavy and sad.
At the end of the song, many people are already in tears, and the strong are also buried in hard thinking. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, how many families have been killed, how many innocent people have died tragically, and how many siblings have been separated forever. Liu Chang silently looked at everything in front of him, and thought of the many brothers who fell around him and the wife of this life, poured himself a sip of wine, drew his sword angrily and danced, and at the same time, with the dance steps, read aloud:
"Drunk to pick up the lamp to see the sword, dream back to blow the horn company camp, 800 miles under the command, fifty strings turn over the outside sound, the battlefield autumn soldiers.
The horse is fast, the bow is like a thunderbolt, but the king is the world, and he wins the name before and after, and the poor Hua happens! ”
After singing the revised Song Dynasty famous lyricist Xin Qiji's "Breaking the Array, Giving Strong Words to Chen Tongfu to Send It", he put his sword into the ground with both hands, and knelt on one knee, silently.
The first Mid-Autumn Festival at the end of the Han Dynasty was spent in this incomparable homesickness and the pain of losing loved ones. Liu Chang and Cao Cao drank together, and finally both came back drunk.
Lying on the bed in the temporary camping house, looking at the moon like a silver plate outside the window, Liu Chang after being drunk, full of poetry, and soon, a Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai's "Silent Night Thoughts" slowly sang: "The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground." Raise your head to look at the bright moon and bow your head to think of your hometown. ”
After reading the poem, he fell into a deep sleep.
In the dream, Liu Chang returned to his own era and enjoyed the joy of happiness although it was sweet and bitter. In a world where there is no war, no killing, everything is so beautiful and joyful.
Good times are always short.
In the sound of a rooster, Liu Chang returned to reality from his dream. Low houses, quaint furniture, all this tells Liu Chang that he can't go back to that world. The only thing he can do now is to live in this world, not only to live, but also to live well, and to let the people around him live well too.
After Liu Chang finished washing, he came to the temporary marshal's mansion early and read the battle reports from various places in the past few days.
Since August of the seventh year of Guanghe, under the careful planning of Liu Chang, the Huangfu Song Department has taken down the Yellow Turban Army's old nest Guangzong almost bloodlessly and successfully killed Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang.
And in Nanyang, Yuzhou, the Zhu Jun army also successfully forced out Peng Tuo and Zhang Mancheng on the same day, after a day and night of fierce battles in the field, successfully killed Peng Tuo, Zhang Mancheng saw that he was invincible, and led the remnants to retreat to the inner city of Wancheng, and the momentum of destruction was unstoppable.
After hearing the news of Zhang Jiao's death, Zhang Bao in Qingzhou was depressed for many days, and the big and small leaders under his command had no intention of fighting, and was finally defeated by the volunteer army jointly formed by the Qingzhou scholars, with more than half of the casualties. Zhang Bao had to lead the remnants of more than 50,000 people to retreat to Le'an Kingdom, relying on the terrain in Le'an Country to build barriers and water villages, making it difficult for the volunteers to attack for a while.
However, a piece of news aroused Liu Chang's great interest. On the fourth day of the eighth month, the former Duan Ying of Xiliang commanded Bian Zhang and Han Sui raised troops in Jincheng and rebelled against the imperial court. For unknown reasons, the Han Emperor used Dong Zhuo, who failed in the crusade against the Yellow Turban, and was dismissed as the Zhonglang general, worshiped the Liangzhou Assassin History, and crusaded against the rebels. Surprisingly, in just seven or eight days, Dong Zhuo defeated the vanguard troops attacking Bian Zhang and almost attacked Jincheng.
"It seems that this Dong Zhuo still has two brushes. Perhaps the previous defeat was just the result of underestimating the enemy! After reading the battle report, Liu Chang couldn't help but have a great interest in Dong Zhuo. Although Dong Zhuo once appeared in the camp of Huangfu Song, by accident, Liu Chang was unable to meet the big demon king, which made Liu Chang a little regretful. However, he believes that he may have the opportunity to see one in the future. From the perspective of history, after the rebellion of this chapter, the hearts of Xiliang people were unstable, and there was a bigger rebellion four years later, "Dong Zhuo, I can't see you now, let me see what kind of virtue you are as a big demon king in four years!" ”
After reading the battle report for a long time, Liu Chang felt a little numb in his legs and feet. The heart said: In this hellish place, there is not even a chair or stool. It seems that we will have to wait until this battle is over, and someone will have to study it. For the current way of kneeling and sitting, it is really not something that people like him, who were born in the south and are accustomed to chairs and stools, can bear.
"Oops~" I got up with difficulty, and I activated my lower shin a little, and I suddenly felt much more refreshed.
"Knock knock......" A crisp knock sounded on the door.
"Come in!"
Soon the door was opened, and Diao Xiu'er, who was dressed in a plain dress decorated with a few pink peach blossoms, walked in playfully, holding three volumes of books and silks in her hands.
"Brother Fat Pig, Xiu'er has recorded all the poems you chanted last night, please see if there are any typos!" As he spoke, he opened the book in his hand one by one.
When Liu Chang heard this, he looked at the more and more eccentric little girl with some surprise, thinking that he seemed to have drunk some wine yesterday, and then the poems were prosperous, and he stole the poems of the poet saint Du Fu, the poet fairy Li Bai, and the poet Xin Qiji. Saying that, Liu Chang put on an obscene look.
How do you know that the little girl stubbornly replied: "Hmph, just look at it, it's wrong, willing, let it be disposed of!" ”
Seeing this, Liu Chang didn't say much, picked up the book and read it.
"Silk ......" Liu Chang really can't believe it, Diao Xiu'er recorded not only the exact points, but even the words are not wrong. I was shocked in my heart: I didn't expect this woman to be so talented, I'm afraid she is not under the world's famous Cai Zhaoji.
"Dingdong, the system has detected Diao Xiuer's special attributes as follows: 89, calligraphy and painting 86, chess 60, music and rhythm 92, singing and dancing 98, and sports 61."
"Special attributes? What the heck? When Liu Chang heard this, a new attribute score appeared in the system, and he immediately asked silently.
"Back to the host, the special attributes are divided into six categories: calligraphy and painting, chess, music, singing and dancing, and sports. It refers to the ability to create poetry and songs, calligraphy and painting refers to calligraphy and painting, chess refers to the ability to play chess and card games, music refers to the comprehension and creation ability of music, singing and dancing refers to the ability to sing and dance, and the last sports ability refers to the ability to include all kinds of sports. ”
The system explained to Liu Chang in one breath, and he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said, "What are the special attributes of the host?" ”
"Please wait a moment, the evaluation is being analyzed."
"Dingbell, the analysis of the host's special attributes is complete. 98, 51 in calligraphy and painting, 85 in chess, 80 in music, 73 in singing and dancing, 10 in physical education. ”
"Poof......" After listening to his special attribute score, Liu Chang almost vomited blood.
In a fit of anger, he didn't take care of the system, and looked at Diao Xiu'er with his senses. said weakly: "Xiu'er is amazing, word for word." ”
When Diao Xiu'er heard this, she immediately smiled, and suddenly pointed to the blank space at the beginning of each volume and said, "Big brother, please name these three poems!" ”
Liu Chang heard the words and took a look, and found that although there were poems, but there was no title, and he immediately changed the name of Du Fu's "August 15th Night Moon" to "Moonlit Night Thoughts", Li Bai's "Silent Night Thoughts" still used the original name, and Xin Qiji's was directly named "Breaking the Array". In this way, three poems that plagiarized the masterpieces of later generations won him the service of many scholars in the future.
