Chapter 60: The White Kirin's Way Out
“…… Therefore, the subordinates attacked this time and wiped out the whole army, and please punish Xiangbang! ”
The Prime Minister's Mansion was built in the south of the Shu capital, echoing the royal palace in the north of the city, with only a long road facing east and west, which was far from most of the cities in the Central Plains. In fact, before Zhang Yi established the CD, the entire Shu did not even have a city wall.
Shu is similar to a tribal federation, a bit similar to the Greek city-states, whether it is Emperor Silkworm Cong or Du Yu, they are all step by step to integrate the tribes and establish the ancient Shu regime. Even during the period of Emperor Silkworm Cong in the Xia Dynasty, he was still just a tribal patriarch known as the emperor.
This is the Xiangfu built by the enlightened Lu specially for Tho, and the Wangfei Tower, the Qibao Building at the same time, magnificent, enough to have one-third of the size of the palace, it can be said that the grace is extremely thick. And all this is in recognition of his merits - to offer beauties, slander the construction of the two floors of the princess and the seven treasures, and eradicate those who oppose the construction of luxurious buildings.
Enlightened Lu is such a mediocre king, he does have the ambition to win the party in his head, but this kid's IQ is really worrying! Later, he actually drove the soldiers to the border of Qin and wrote a letter, which basically meant: I want to parade troops on your border, if you want to come, you can come, if you don't want to come, forget it! He himself may feel domineering, but he is just a pediatrician, but he didn't expect that King Huiwen would really endure the humiliation and see his belongings clearly.
If Yuan Shao is indecisive and Yuan Shuzhi is talented, then they at least have the ability to win over famous families; said that Song Xianggong was benevolent to the woman, and Zhixiangzi was defeated because of time, but they at least had a prestige. On the other hand, our enlightened king, pro-Yu Yuanxian, pampered the enchantress, reused the enemy's ministers, ignored political affairs, and was arrogant...... It seems that all the words that can describe the faint king can be used in his place.
It is precisely because of this that he sang songs night after night and died without repentance, so that Tho Fu, who was appointed as Xiangbang, took advantage of the loophole. Tho Fu was originally a native of Tho country, and Tho country is a country established by Du Jiameng, an enlightened royal family, and it is a vassal of the enlightened country, just north of the enlightened country. This Tho Fu is the hostage of the current Tho country, but this guy is good at trickery, so he can think about it, and he understands what the enlightened Lu likes, so he pushes the boat down the river and grasps the power.
If this matter is put in the Central Plains, it is enough to become the laughing stock of all the princes, and even small countries such as Song and Wei can laugh at it.
In the hall, the sound of chimes is melodious and melodious. Tho Fu closed his eyes and raised his head, as if waiting for the white unicorn's report. After he had finished telling everything that had happened to him, he asked, "Gone?" ”
"Back to Xiangbang, it's gone." Bai Qilin arched his hand slightly, but the expression on his face was slightly unhappy.
As a native of Guanzhong, that is, the so-called Lao Qin people, he was unwilling to stay in the small country of Shu; Now that the Qin State is rising, judging things by his military exploits, others don't even let him enter the military camp like this, thinking that he is a tuberculosis ghost, don't drag down the national strength that the Qin State has finally dragged up.
There is no place for a good sword, and the white unicorn can only be committed to the Shu State, which is adjacent to the Qin State, and was favored by the former enlightened king, which gave him the identity of today's centurion.
Loyalty to Tho Fu is a helpless move, this guy covers the sky with one hand, most of the people in the dynasty have become his cronies, the enlightened king does not care about political affairs, he has become the first person in the strict sense of Shu, which can't not let Bai Qilin bow his head.
Tho Fu scratched his ears very leisurely, and said in a soft voice: "Pi Shi has been killed, the Di clan is safe, and there is not one of your five hundred elites left...... Hehe, what a fight! ”
"Xiangbang and clear, if it weren't for the sudden flooding of the Minjiang River, we would ......"
"Enough, needless to say, the old man has his own measure!" Tho Fu hurriedly waved his hand, signaled Bai Qilin to shut up, and said after a while: "If it is in accordance with the law of the country, you, the general of the defeated army, will be killed by yourself, and you will be the heart of the army!" But the old man sees that you are talented, and he is loyal to the old man...... The old man is reluctant to use the knife! ”
The white unicorn buried his head lower and lower, not wanting the old guy to see his expression, after all, his loyalty was pretended, and he pretended to be particularly disgusting.
As for how disgusting, you can refer to Comrade Goujian, King Yue, that must be cheap enough!
Tho Fu did not need to report the matter to Kaiminglu, because there was no need, he had no interest in the victory or defeat of the battle; It's just that...... He is unwilling, why did he send troops to the river and there was a big flood, there is such a coincidence in this world?
"By the way, how did Du Hongchuan's man solve it?" Tho Fu suddenly remembered this, and frowned slightly, "If I remember correctly, I gave you a death order!" ”
"The subordinates don't dare to forget, but they ...... When the flood broke out, Du Hongchuan not only did not escape, but ran towards the center of the river, and was directly washed downstream by the torrent, and his subordinates guessed that he was afraid of drowning! ”
"Don't guess, old man, old man must be based on real evidence!" Tho Fu snorted coldly, "That's it, your march is not good this time, so I will send you to the Bashu border to oversee the army, when to find Du Hongchuan's body, and when to come back!" ”
"This ......"
"Are you dissatisfied?"
"Subordinate...... Subordinates dare not ...... Promise! ”
There is no specific location on the border of Bashu, after all, the border between the two countries has been in constant conflict for a hundred years, and the border is constantly changing. However, most of the places where these two countries meet are seedling fields, and plague, snakes, and scorpions are indispensable, not to mention poisonous springs and miasma forests, which are not unusual.
Who the wants to go to a place where birds can be scared out of?
After Tho Fu issued this order, he didn't talk to Bai Qilin, after all, this was just a small centurion, and he didn't pay attention to it. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he called the white unicorn who had already walked to the door.
Bai Qilin was already scolding his mother in his heart, but he still said indifferently: "What else does Xiangbang command?" ”
"I remember...... You have family, right? ”
"Yes, there is only one son and one wife...... Bai Qilin was suddenly shocked in his heart.
"That's right, the border of Bashu is very remote, don't bring your family, stay in Shudu!"
Dog X's Tho, I'll fucking dig your ancestral grave!
How can the white unicorn not understand the purpose of this? He is from Qin, what if he escapes without leaving a hostage roll? Tho Fu was not old and confused, and finally remembered this before leaving.
"No!"
The promise was loud and powerful, but it failed to roar out all the anger in his heart.
That night, in the house of the white unicorn.
There are special arrangements for the families of soldiers, but although Bai Qilin is a centurion, to be exact, five hundred people, he is a relatively low-ranking officer; There are also 1,000 people, 3,000 people, 5,000 people, 10,000 people, and upper, middle and lower generals, in comparison, his 500 people is really nothing.
The village where Bai Qilin's family lives is extremely simple, about fifteen square meters, but it is equipped with various kinds of furniture. Fortunately, Bai Qilin lives in the barracks on weekdays, otherwise how could a family of three sleep in such a small room?
"Huh? How did you get back today? ”
His wife, Gongsun Yue, was washing the bowl that had just been eaten, and his son Bai Kang was still an eight-year-old boy, who was nesting by the stove and looking at the bamboo slips written by his mother's handwriting. But it wasn't his father he wanted to hold, it was the sword at his waist.
Bai Qilin smiled bitterly, took off the saber and threw it to his son to play.
Bai Kang has liked to fiddle with the armor and blade of the white unicorn since he was a child, which made Bai Qilin very surprised, if his son becomes a general in the future, it will be infinitely beautiful!
Gongsun Yue came up with a bowl of water, and she looked tired with sweat on her face, but it was still difficult to hide her mature charm. After all, she is only twenty-two or three, but she has been a mother for eight years, which is quite common.
Looking at the tired wife, Bai Qilin was a little bitter, she was the queen of the Qin State Office, and her family was in the middle of the road, so she reverted to her surname Gongsun. But the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and although her family is ruined, she will not marry a person like herself who has not been able to come out for a long time and suffer......
"Gentleman, what's wrong with you?" Gongsun Yue saw that he had been staring at his face, and couldn't help but feel a little hot, and turned his face away: "The old husband and wife, what else do ......you look at?"
Bai Qilin just wanted to laugh, but it was like a fish in his throat, turned into a lament, and said, "I'm going to be promoted......"
"Oh." Gongsun Yue nodded, but didn't seem interested, which seemed to be a matter of course for her husband.
Bai Qilin felt bitter in his heart: "I want to transfer to the border of Bashu ......"
"Are you moving again? Okay, I'll get ready right away! "Gongsun Yue is a doer.
"I'll go to ...... alone" Bai Qilin looked at Gongsun Yue who was shocked, and was unwilling, "That old guy forced me to say that I must find Du Hongchuan's body before letting me come back, before that...... I can only grieve your mother and son. ”
Gongsun Yue is worthy of being a good wife and mother, although all kinds of emotions of reluctance, unwillingness, helplessness, and resentment came to her heart, but she forcibly suppressed it and left a smiling face to her husband: "Gentleman, I will take care, there is danger over there, you ...... Take care of yourself. ”
"I'll take care of it!"
The two were silent for a while.
"Is Father going to war again?" Bai Kang played with the sword for a while, and he felt bored, so he came up and laughed: "Okay, yes!" Father fights, I'll go to work as a staff officer! ”
"Nonsense! I can't even use a sword, so what kind of conspiracy do I have? ”
Bai Kang puffed up his chest and said: "That's not necessarily, I've read the "Sun Wu Art of War" written by my mother now, maybe it's useful!" ”
"Stinky boy, your father is already familiar with the "Art of War" at your age!" Gongsun Yue laughed and said, as if he remembered the extremely diligent young man again, "Don't think that you can understand everything after reading "Sun Wu's Art of War", can you read "Wu Zi"?" How are you reviewing "Liutao"? Even the mother of "Sima Fa" hasn't written it to you yet! ”
When the names of the military books came out, Bai Kang bowed his head gloomily and muttered, "I just want to give my father something......
"You kid!" Bai Qilin stroked Bai Kang's head vigorously, "Don't worry, you are indispensable when you should go to the battlefield, maybe you will be an official bigger than your father in the future!" ”
"Really?"
"That's it, you're my white unicorn's son, how can you be worse than me?"
Gongsun Yue looked at the two of them with a smile.
Gradually, Bai Kang fell asleep comfortably, with a sweet and lovely smile on his face. Bai Qilin stroked his head and said, "This dispatch will be two or three years at least, or ten years or even longer...... I can't take care of you, and I can't take care of Kang'er. Bai Qilin's eyes softened more and more, "I recommend one person to you, this time I met a confidant, if you are in trouble, you can find him!" ”
"Who?"
"Shudi Sword Saint...... Cliffs! ”
Gongsun Yue exclaimed: "I know him, I heard that his swordsmanship is extraordinary, no one is invincible, and the gentleman actually met him!" ”
"Not only that, but your gentleman also had a tie with him!" The white unicorn laughed boastfully.
Naturally, not only to satisfy her husband's vanity, Gongsun Yue also admires her husband from the bottom of her heart.
"By the way, there's one more person...... Speaking of which, the Di tribe is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and it can be strong! Bai Qilin patted his knee and said, "This person is a few years older than our Kang'er, but he has a divine power, if you and Kang'er go to find the cliff, you can go to meet with this person for a while, he may become a big celebrity in our enlightened country in the future!" It's not hard to shelter your mother and son! ”
"Who is it?" Gongsun Yue was completely shocked, he didn't expect that his husband would give such a high evaluation to anyone other than the Sword Saint.
"This person has no surname or name, just a small clansman - Taijia, you must remember his name!"
