Chen Caozhi, Xie Daoyun and his entourage of more than 300 people left Hefei by themselves. The weather is the mountain. Chuan: The sky is clear and clear, and now it is drizzling, all day long, looking at the sky through the rain curtain, the clouds are thick and dark, and it seems that the rain will not stop in three or two days.

There was a shortage of horses in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The three hundred elite sergeants under Ran Sheng were in addition to the commander, the chief, the commander and two scout cavalrymen. They were all on foot, and they had already made plans for a long journey. The rain gear is complete, but Yuan is dressed in bamboo hats. Moreover, the roads are muddy, and you can only travel 50 or 60 miles a day

Hefei, about 300 miles to Shouchun, who Yang mountains are undulating, the water system that flows into the Huai River is criss-crossed, this place belongs to the Chu State in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Chu State of a thousand years ago ordered Yin Sun Shujiao to have decided the water of the period of thought here and irrigated the field of the fog committee, the history is called Moss Ling, Shaoling is a large-scale water diversion irrigation project with the same name as Dujiangyan, the shape is like a long vine and a melon, can irrigate the fields for thousands of hectares, the Chu State is therefore strong, but today, because of the frequent wars, the rich granary in the past is also desolate, and the tall dock wall is seen in the plain wilderness

The Eastern Jin Dynasty court was afraid of the influx of displaced people from the north into Jiankang and its regime, and had forbidden the commander of a large number of displaced people to cross the river, except for a small number of wandering marshals like Xi's grandfather Xi Jian were able to gain a foothold in Jiangdong, most of the wandering marshals and their clans stayed in the land of Lianghuai, each built a dock fort, as if an independent kingdom, the Eastern Jin Dynasty court often divided those who had a large number of exiles to the post of the county magistrate of Qiaoxian County, or named the name of the general to show his gratitude, the previous Northern Expedition, these commanders will also send their troops to join the Jin army to participate in the war, after the war, they will return to the dock wall, not to the soldiers, Therefore, those who have always supervised the military of the two Huai states, such as Yin Hao, Geng Liang, Xie Shang, and Xie Wan, have tried their best to win over these homeless marshals, Xie Daoyun knows a lot about this, and told Chen Caozhi all the way.

Chen Caozhi saw that the weather was bad and the road was difficult, so when Xun was about to block, he asked Xie Daoyun not to send it again

Xie Daoyun rode her brown northern horse, wearing a round hat and a robe. Don't have a sassy and heroic spirit, and said: "Since the above Fu Huan Gong wants to send his son to Shouchun, how can he return halfway because of a little wind and rain!" And. I like to walk, I haven't been to Shouchun, and I want to visit. ”

Chen Caoyi smiled and said, "Life is on the road."

He no longer dissuaded, if it weren't for the inconvenience of Xie Daoyun as a woman to travel far away, he would be very willing Xie Daoyun to accompany him to Qin as a deputy envoy, Xie Daoyun's talent is definitely his powerful arm, which has been revealed when the meeting is broken

Forty miles through Shaoling is Shouchun City, this afternoon Chen Caozhi ordered all the soldiers to hurry up, and then rest in Shouchun because it rained for two days, the water potential of Shaoling within a radius of hundreds of miles rose, and the lake surface was also much more open. The short road to Shouchun was flooded, only a detour, and it rained quickly, and it was already dark at 100 o'clock, according to the sergeant who was familiar with the terrain said that there were still fifteen miles away from Shouchun City, and now that the rain had stopped, Ran Sheng urged the sergeant to go quickly, and rushed to Shouchun County before the sky was dark and before the latter rain arrived.

When everyone was hurrying, they suddenly saw a fork in the road rushing out of a group of people, each holding a knife and a gun, shouting to leave the money and goods Rao Ru and wait for immortality, when they felt that it was the Jin army, they said a misunderstanding, turned around and left, and dozens of people under their men came and went quickly, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye

Ran Sheng was furious, and the beggar wanted to chase after him, Xie Daoyun hurriedly shouted: "Chen Zisheng, don't chase!" ”

Chen Caozhi also hurriedly ordered Dansheng to come back, and Ran Sheng said angrily: "The thieves who don't know where treat us as merchants on the road." I'm going to rob you! ”

Xie Daoyun said: "This is not a thief, it is a homeless person from the nearby dock wall, robbing merchants is a common thing, as long as it does not kill or injure people, it is difficult for county officials to strictly prohibit it." ”

Chen Caozhi's "hey" sound, heart said: "This crossing the river, is the troubled times, I used to read, I was surprised to see the Northern Expedition hero Zu fled when he was young, he led his troops to rob, it is rumored that Xi Jian was a homeless handsome when he also robbed the rich, the Western Jin Dynasty rich Shi Chong relied on robbing the family, and when he was the assassin of Jingzhou, he blatantly robbed his life in troubled times, and robbery seems to be the way to survive. ”

Ran Sheng was silent. He remembers wandering in Jiangbei with Uncle Jing when he was a child. Uncle Jing has no moon and no robbery, killing and injuring people, otherwise, his master and servant would not be able to live until now.

That's when it happened. Xie Daoyun suddenly exclaimed, leaned under his crotch, Xie Daoyun fell off the horse, but it turned out that the left front foot of the mount stepped into a puddle. The horse struggled to stabilize its body and did not fall, but Xie Daoyun on the saddle fell directly into the puddle

Ran Sheng was closest to Xie Daoyun, and wanted to walk over and pull Xie Daoyun up, but he stopped, looking at Chen Caozhi, Chen Caozhi hurriedly got off the horse and picked Xie Daoyun up, Xie Daoyun was so clean, at this time she was covered in muddy water, and she was in front of Chen Caozhi, she felt very embarrassed, she crossed the river to the north this time, although she brought more than ten tribal slaves, but because it was a march, she did not bring maids, so no one stepped forward to serve at this time.

Xie Daoyun's left knee was bruised, and his robe was even more wet, Chen Caozhi carried her to a carriage, Chen Caozhi sent a total of five carriages, two of which were loaded with all kinds of newly cast weapons, which were samples, ready to discuss with Di Qin to exchange horses, and the other two were loaded with dry food and some sundries, and the remaining double tile and one carriage was given to Chen Cao by Sima Nan, the king of Langya, to make a strong cooking

Xie Daoyun got into the carriage, Chen Caozhi handed her the burden of Xie Daoyun on the brown northern horse, and Chen Caozhi led the horse to follow the carriage on foot, and moved towards Shouchun in the dark.

The carriage was rolling on the muddy road, Xie Daoyun in the carriage changed into clean clothes, looked at the dark sky from the window, and said in his heart: "Zizhong's envoy this time is really not comparable to the earth, if I am the deputy envoy, it is indeed quite a lot."

But I heard Chen Caozhi say loudly: "Tell me about Emperor Wu of Wei, Cao Mengde and Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu, and Brother Yingtai when they were young." Brother Yingtai is well-read and strong, I must know"

Xie Daoyun was familiar with "Three Kingdoms", and after a little contemplation, he knew what Chen Caozhi wanted to say, and he was about to say it. In a flash, he said, "Please re-please."

Chen Caozhi said: "When I was young because of the homeless people who remembered Wei Wu, I tried to be a ranger with Yuan Shaohao, watching people get married, so I sneaked into the master's garden, and called Huyun at night "There are thieves" Everyone in Qinglu came out to watch, Cao Cao entered, and drew a knife to rob the bride. returned to Yuan Shao, got lost and fell into the thorns, and was almost captured by the pursuer"

Xie Daoyun laughed and said, "The robbers of the Three Kingdoms produced talents. Didn't Sun Jian's generation also plunder and loot and do everything! ”

Laughing and talking. Before you know it, it's Shouchun.

General Xizhong Lang and Yuan Chun, the assassin of Yuzhou, had returned to Shouchun at this time, and when he learned of Chen Caozhi's arrival, he immediately invited Chen Caozhi and Xie Daoyun to meet with each other at the county office, wanting to see what kind of person Chen Caozhi appreciated by Huan Da Sima?

Chen Caozhi has not yet bathed at this time, the placket of his robe is covered with mud, and he is quite stormy, but in the face of Yuan Zhen, who is guarding the side, he is calm and calm, Yuan Zhenqi is curious, and Chen Caozhi talks about Jiangzuo and CIMC, Chen Caozhi has questions and answers, and he does not explain much.

Yuan Zhenxin said: "Although Chen Caozhi has a good demeanor and speech, he is just a clear person, and he has no creative ideas. Huan Wen said that he had Wang Zuozhi's talent, which was an exaggeration. Because of the said: "Chen Xiang sent an envoy to Qin, I am afraid that the road will be difficult, although Murong Ping withdrew from Runan and Chen County, but left the pseudo-Yan Zhennan general Murong Chentun Xuchang." Luoyang regardless of Chang answered, I am afraid it will be difficult to defend, Luoyang will guard the champion general Chen You can not defend himself, Chen You passed a letter to me the day before yesterday, asking me to replace the great Sima of Huan, to withdraw from Luoyang, so, the road to Chang'an will be blocked, but what! Why don't you divert Jingxiang to Chang'an via Hanzhong? ”

Shen Chiqian and Ran Sheng stood on Chen Cao's side, Shen Chiqian was speechless, and his father Shen Jin was in Luoyang. Shen Jin once vowed to live and die with Luoyang, and if the Jin army gave up Luoyang, Shen Jin would be in danger.

Yuan Zhen Gengxi is a party, and his words reveal contempt for Chen Caozhi, Chen Caozhi said lightly: "General Chen wants to withdraw from Luoyang, and it is not too late for me to retreat after Luoyang, and I can't abandon the city before the Yan army arrives."

Yuan Zhen sneered: "Xuchang has been lost, Luoyang is difficult to defend, if the Yan army is big, it will be too late to retreat."

Chen Caozhi and Yuan Zhen did not speculate, and after a few words, they left.

Xie Daoyun and Chen Caozhi returned to the post house, and Xie Daoyun said: "Zizhong has many reservations about Yuan Zhonglang's words, why not? ”

Yuan Zhen is a warlord, he has no foresight, and he has no future when he confronts Huan Wen, so there is no need for Chen Caozhi to show his talent in front of Yuan Zhen, and said with a smile: "It's useless to say more, it's better to be obscure, as the saying goes, throw flattery to the blind, why bother!" ”

Xie Daoyun smiled.

That night, Chen Caozhi wrote a letter to Huan Wen, asking Huan Wen to send troops to reinforce Luoyang, only by holding Luoyang can the expansion of the Qin power be curbed, as for the Xianbei Murong clan that seems to be aggressive now, Chen Caozhi thinks that it is not enough to worry, and the Murong clan will be destroyed by the brothers

Early the next morning, Chen Caozhi handed the letter to Xie Daoyun, asked her to present Huan Wen on his behalf, and said: "Brother Yingtai sent me to the bank of the source water and the foot of Bagong Mountain, and then say goodbye." ”

No rain in the early morning. Chen Caozhi and Xie Daoyun rode out of the north gate of Shoucheng. I can see the Bagong Mountain in the distance, and the forest is lush. Chen Caozhi said: "Brother Yingtai, you and I rode horses up the grassy slope in the middle of the mountain

Xie Daoyun said with a smile: "I wish to attach the flag tail." ”

The clouds are thick and thick. But the sky that is not covered by dark clouds is blue and pure, the grass and trees of Bagong Mountain are separated, and the forest ravines contain clouds and mist.

Chen Caozhi and Xie Daoyun immediately halfway up the mountain, looking at the empty wilderness on the south bank of Feishui, Chen Caozhi recited in his heart: "The wind is loud, the grass and trees are all soldiers, this is not the place where Xie Xuan's 80,000 Beifu soldiers defeated the 800,000 Qin army?"

Xie Daoyun saw that Chen Caozhi's expression was different, and it was like revisiting the old place. It was a little strange, but I didn't ask anything. There are too many surprising things in Zizhong, Xie Daoyun only feels that he is riding up the mountain, looking at the blue sky in the gap of dark clouds, and the vines and grass that are stepping on the rain and dew, and feeling a kind of pleasure on the road.
