The fourth day of May, the summer solstice, is the longest day of the year. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The summer solstice in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, also known as the summer festival, is as important as the winter festival.

There is a folk saying that "winter solstice wonton summer solstice noodles", "after eating summer solstice noodles, the day is short". Unfortunately, the few wheat left in the Ironwood camp was spring wheat, and it had not yet been harvested. Jia Daoshi proposed to follow the ancient style, "taste millet on the summer solstice, and eat rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival".

At the end of the dinner, the chief soldier Yang Ritian boiled a pot of slimy and fragrant millet porridge, and specially invited Lidelye, stuffy and Taoist priests to celebrate the festival together.

A communication soldier rushed over, and shouted from afar: "Lord Lidel, Lord Commander, the bandit nest is coming!" ”

Yang Ritian's spirit was shocked, "Where?" ”

The communication soldier replied: "Out of the bandits' nest, the reed ditch is just halfway away!" ”

It turned out that the watchtower sentry outside the bandit's nest noticed a sheepskin raft slowly driving out along the reed ditch of the bandits' nest, and immediately notified Ga Li Guang, who was on duty at the floating island barracks, with a flag. Ga Li quickly sent troops to intercept him, and as soon as the other party reported it, he was actually an envoy.

The news was sent to intercept the sergeant to pass it to the watchtower with a flag, and then to Ga Li Guang, who immediately contacted the communication corps of the General Staff Department with a walkie-talkie, and the orphan boss, the captain of the signal corps, immediately sent a hand to stumble to report the news, and the bandits' messenger had not yet left the reed ditch.

When the envoy crosses the Shennong River to Changsheng Wharf, it will take at least half an hour.

Sun Yi asked Yang Ritian's opinion, "Mr. Yang, what do you guess the bandits want to do?" ”

Yang Ritian didn't think about it, "What else can I do, I can't win, I can't run, I can only go one way, seek peace!" ”

Sun nodded, "Then will we accept the bandits' request for peace?" ”

Yang Ritian said: "Changsheng Fort is a matter of life and death for us. The thief begs for peace, and he wants to be beautiful! Our mules died unjustly! ”

Sun Yi grinned, "In that case, Daoist Jia, you are responsible for receiving the bandits." Don't you want to specialize in psychological warfare? Use this opportunity to hit the bandits' morale hard! ”

Daoist Jia immediately stepped forward, "Poor Dao has an order!" ”

Sun Yi encouraged: "You play casually, don't be afraid to make mistakes." In short, if the bandits want to make peace, there is only one way - unconditional surrender! Lao Yang and I are both under your dispatch. ”

Daoist Jia was glad in his heart, and he chose the right move of mental warfare, and he became the core of the Tiemu Battalion.

Speaking of the bandits' lair, the big boss has been "quite uneasy" in his heart these days.

The outlying islands were ended, and the old nest was blocked. The border thieves had firearms, unscrupulously set up a high platform to peep, and repeatedly sent men and horses to clean the waterways. The day before yesterday, the UFO came, and I don't know if it was good or bad.

The military advisor became a broken mouth, trembling with one meaning, "Go touch the pole", why did the two families fight?

The big boss suppressed his anger, and this dog-headed military advisor coaxed him as soon as it was critical, "Strategist, then you will work hard for me!" ”

The military advisor retreated at that time, "The shopkeeper, I can't be the master with a slight word, and it's not beautiful to annoy the border thieves on the other side, but the shopkeeper can only hold down the battle by himself." ”

The big boss swallowed and foamed at the mouth with a thick throat, and said in his heart, "Phew! The border thieves on the other side don't seem to talk about morality, and if I go rashly, I will probably be cut down by them. ”

but the mouth said; "Don't be afraid, there is a way that the two armies will not be killed, today's big holiday, prepare more wine and meat, and the military advisor should only go to explore the truth of the border thieves."

The second pole couldn't sit still, "I'll accompany the military division!" The head fell off the bowl and had a big scar, and after eighteen years, he was a good man again! ”

The military advisor sat on the ground, "The second treasurer should not talk nonsense, and reincarnation as a human being is the merit of cultivation in this life." If I die without knowing it, I am afraid that after death, I will be a cow and a horse and let the wicked bully. ”

The second pole really stopped making a sound.

The military advisor crawled a few steps, "Shopkeeper, you always have an idea." ”

The big boss sighed heavily, "In that case, you and I will go together!" Good brothers live and die together, whether they are human beings or cows in the next life, let's still form a gang! ”

The military advisor nodded again and again, "Okay, okay, I'll go and prepare gifts." There is no one in charge of the village, why don't I stay and answer the two shopkeepers? ”

The second pole hand pressed the saber, "Strategist, you have to go, you have to go, if you don't go, you have to go!" ”

The military advisor stiffened his neck, "Who said I wouldn't go?" If the two masters want me to go, I will go, and if they want me to stay, I will stay, there is no other word! ”

At that moment, the three bandit leaders prepared four gifts, brought a few minions, and took two sheepskin rafts down the reed ditch.

When he had not traveled long, the great master exclaimed, "Which dog broke the sheepskin of my raft?" Second pole, military advisor, you go first, I'll change the raft and come! ”

The military advisor was about to say something when he saw the raft returning from the big boss, and the second pole suddenly pulled out his saber, "The border thief is here!" ”

I saw a few small rafts coming towards me along the reed ditch, and the bandit military division hurriedly shouted: "Brother opposite, listen, we are here to touch the pole on the order of the big treasurer, don't misunderstand." ”

The two poles drove the raft to meet the comers, zigzagged out of the water barrier, and was immediately caught in the center by the two rafts of the Ironwood Battalion, one in front of the other. The military advisor gave his hand again and again, "A few brothers, this raft is full of things from the labor army, talk about the friendship of our landlords and other landlords, and hope that a few brothers will report." ”

A border soldier waved the two colored flags in his hand and said, "Come with us!" ”

As soon as the three rafts came out of the reed ditch, the military advisor saw several houses, which were originally a body of water, and the military advisor was so shocked that he rubbed his eyes.

Two more rafts were drawn out, and without saying a word, one left and one right resisted the bandit raft. A young general walked out of the house, dressed up in a serious Ming border army. As soon as the military advisor was about to speak, the young general of the Ming Dynasty shouted: "Take the blade!" ”

The second pole held the saber in his hand and gritted his teeth in anger.

The military advisor pulled the placket of the two poles, "People are the board, I am the fish, don't be impulsive!" The big shopkeeper is not righteous, and he left our brothers in battle, so we can only act at the opportunity! ”

The second pole hated and lost the saber, and the little general didn't talk to him. Only then did the military advisor realize that the house was actually built on a reed mat. As if the border thieves had been prepared, the four rafts sandwiched the military division, the second pole and a minion, and went straight to the Shennong River.

When they arrived on the river, the military advisor was even more surprised, originally this place was deserted, and now there are no less than 100 rafts of all sizes on the river. The most peculiar thing was a slender straw raft, with high stilts at both ends, so small that only one person could stand, but there was a mast in the center. The mast was tied with a large triangular flag sewn from sheepskin, and a barefoot man on the raft operated the flag, sometimes left and sometimes right, driving the raft to the ground as fast as possible. The raft of flags flew past the front of the procession, and the flags almost touched the water. There were border thieves on the raft of the "escort" shouting "Master Long", but the "Master Long" did not reply and went to take care of himself.

On the bank of the Shennong River, countless houses have emerged, and there are faintly horses galloping by. When I got closer, I could see that the land on the riverbank had been reclaimed, and the newly turned clods of earth were still carrying weeds. This gang of thieves obviously doesn't want to leave!

Four rafts "protected" the military division and the second pole and went straight to the pier. The pier is also made of reeds, and it is also decorated with arch bunting. On the dock, a team of soldiers and two dragons lined up out of the water, as if they were "greeting" themselves. However, there was no verbal communication along the way, let alone a clipper report, how did this gang of thieves know the news?

As soon as the military advisor and the second pole got on the dock, a person turned out of the dock house.

This person is wearing a blue sermon robe, white pants and black shoes, his hair is in a high bun, his face is monkey cheeks, three strands of beard, and he is clearly a Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest took two steps and shouted loudly, "I don't know how many leaders are coming, and they are not welcomed, but the poor road is polite!" ”

The military advisor hurriedly returned the salute, "Forgive the sins, forgive the sins, today I know that your department is stationed here, prepare a little wine, come to the labor army, and talk about the students' hearts!" ”
