Let the guards fetch the guzheng and improvise a piece of ancient music. "The blood-stained battlefield is Langgu, and the moonlight is looking forward to the return of the son. For whom to fight and what to gain! Cease! Cease! , all generations are because of power, fame and fortune, how many families are in a foreign land. It's hard to be born, and it's hard to be different. The general ordered to urge, and it will be difficult to return tomorrow's meal. The general ordered, on the side of the ancient road, holding hands to see him off with tears. The ancient sword is soft, and the soldiers are difficult" Before the impromptu words were sung, more than a dozen people had come in the tent. Bow your hands and listen quietly, as if following the tune into the distant ancient battlefield.

The white wolf brothers and sisters didn't understand this, so after eating the leg of mutton, they rubbed their heads on Ouyang Xuan's legs. Ouyang Xuan raised his head and saw so many people, so he naturally stopped. "I'm sorry, I'm ugly, I just feel it for a while." "We are deeply ashamed of the general's resignation," Lang swore to him. The guards at the door obviously had some unnatural expressions, and they entered without signing up and were beheaded according to the law. Ouyang Xuanquan saw it in his eyes, waved his hand and said, "This is not a military period, there is nothing to do with that red tape and etiquette, all the princes are seated", and made a gesture of please. These people, except for the main book and Gong Cao, are all generals that Ouyang Xuan relies on. Let the guards pour a cup of tea for each person, all of them are 300 ml teacups made of glass, and the crimson tea water ripples in the cups in the faint light. "Alcohol is not allowed in the army, so tea is used instead of wine to entertain the princes."

"The general is too modest, this tea is better than the wine and the gold is better than the copper, we can drink a cup, and it is also a blessing to the general." "Haha, master, after that, the princes are only here to listen to the music?" Waiting, we are all unknown from the matter, and we are here to ask for advice", Zhang Jian stood up and arched his hand. "It's not a military time for the princes, so you don't have to be polite, sit down and talk." Wave your hand to let Zhang Jian sit down. Seeing Ouyang Xuan say this, Zhang Jian could only sit down and arch his hand: "I don't know what to do, how can I judge that there are ambushes under the earth mountain?" There are ravines in the plains, and we can still understand them, but we are very hesitant about this." "Haha, so that's it. Because it is very easy, the grass and trees on the soil and mountains lose water and wither." "We still don't know, we have also been there, but we have not found any signs of withering, how can we see them?" Haha, listen to me slowly." After speaking, he took a sip of tea, put his forelimbs on the desk and watched the white wolf of everyone lie beside him, and said slowly, "Tushan is dug with caves, and the water seeps into the holes one by one, the soil is thick, the seepage is not fast, the topsoil is dry first, and the root water is not enough to nourish the crown of plants and trees, so the crown leaves wither first, and the crown is still sheng, confusing the line of sight." This time, the crown leaves of the grass and trees are dehydrated and withered, and the topsoil is waterless, so it is specially judged that there must be a new cave under the soil mountain. There is a new hole in the mountain, and there will be no grass on it, this is common sense. Over time, the grass (moss) contains water, and it will rekindle". "Oh, we are taught", everyone nodded yes.

"As a general, we must not only know the art of war and bravery, but also know human nature, time, terrain, and the truth of things, but also be good at observing, investigating, learning, and making good use. Ingenuity can be solved for a while, but it cannot be used for all generations, and although the clever plan can be completely successful, it cannot be borrowed again and again. Only by moving randomly, following the trend, and judging comprehensively, can we win all battles. In addition, the public is sent to the belief that when the country is peaceful, the generals need to care for the people, and do not use the power of the country to pay for their own small contributions; In the war of the country, the generals led their people, did their best, and drove the country away; Advance does not seek fame, retreat does not avoid sin, only act, acts in the benefit of the Lord, loyal and dare to admonish; Love soldiers like children, the body is sick, and do not use the withering of thousands of bones, but make a name for yourself. Have you ever understood? ”。

"We will abide by the general's teachings, and we will take this as our faith, and be loyal to the king." All the generals stood up and bowed and saluted, and said in unison. There are only records of the master book and Gong Cao, which is also their job, to record the affairs of the march. Then the atmosphere was much more harmonious, these were all people from the Northland army, and they all told their own experiences at the border and the battles they had experienced. Ouyang Xuan analyzed each column of battles, and also explained to them some battle formations and combat skills of cold weapon combat. For the siege, a sand table simulation drill was also carried out. Dinner was also held in the tent, and it was not until the moon went to the middle palace that everyone left in a hurry. Ouyang Xuan never thought that just this ordinary talk would add a number of generals to the future Han family.

At three o'clock in the morning, Ouyang Xuan got up, did some activities, and finished lunch. Brought the guards, called a cavalry team of 100 to follow, and took a leave of absence with the chief bookkeeper and Lang, and took the white wolf brothers and sisters and the squire Cao Zhi out of the gate, and went straight to the land of Huze a hundred miles away.

The speed of the journey is not very fast, there are lakes and wetlands everywhere, and occasionally water birds are startled. Although it is winter, it should now be equivalent to the weather in mid-February in the future, it is not very cold, Ouyang Xuan believed in the reins, watching the reeds fluttering by the lake, and there were still some scattered snow on the shore. The river is not yet frozen, and it is flowing slowly. Occasionally, a small boat flashed by, and it also left in a hurry, and this place is plagued by floods all year round, and there are few rice fields. The endless reeds, the lotus pond in winter can not be seen. The white wolf brothers and sisters have never been in the carriage since they came out of the gate, and they have been dancing in front of them, scurrying around, and the rabbits have caught several rabbits. actually drove out a wild boar from a bush, with long fangs and black skin, giving people the feeling that it was not a good type, and the final outcome was to be shot by Ouyang Xuan's crossbow arrows. Looking at the two brothers and sisters who were dragging the wild boar with great difficulty, several soldiers who opened the road in front hurriedly stepped forward and lifted the wild boar, and the two white wolf brothers and sisters led the way with their heads held high and walked straight to the kitchen car brought by Ouyang Xuan.

In the middle of the day, you can see a mountain forest in the distance. Captain Wu, who led the way to surrender in front, came to report, "Hu, there is a village ahead, is it marching?" ”。“ It is enough to march normally, and do not disturb the people. What is the mountain ahead? ”。“ Back to Huhou, there is a spring in the mountain in front of it, sweet, so it is called Ganquan Mountain, King Chu Huai once wanted to build the capital here, and then it was deserted, and the village in front is after the people who built the city. He said this, Ouyang Xuan knew where this was, he had been here several times in later generations, located in Ganquan Mountain in Guantan Town, Xuyi County, a low hill surrounded by water on three sides, famous for the temple, but the current scenery is too different from the later generations, there is a holy water lake in the east side of the later generations, and now it is a reed beach. Occasionally, a few ponds can be seen.

The village is quite large, with more than 100 households, and the road in the middle of the village passes, and sometimes there are buffaloes giving way to the roadside, and the shepherd boy rides on the back of the oxen and looks curiously at the passing procession in front of him. Ouyang Xuan was also playful, and when he saw a shepherd boy, he would give him a piece of dried meat, and by the way, he would see if they had a flute in their hands. There was a bold shepherd boy who actually rode a buffalo in parallel with Ouyang Xuan, and he really had a flute in his hand, which looked pretty good. "Baby, your flute will lend me a song, and I will let you ride the big white wolf. Do you like it? "Ouyang Xuan speaks the Jiangsu dialect." Give, see that you are a noble man, and you will not deceive me". The guards next to him looked extremely unsightly, Ouyang Xuan waved them to retreat, called the Buick, and motioned for the shepherd boy to ride up. The shepherd boy is also ** years old, not tall, riding on the Buick is still a little smaller, the shepherd boy riding on the back of the wolf is very happy, holding the jerky in one hand, grabbing the long hair on the neck of the Buick in the other, complacent, scurrying around the front and back of the team. Seeing that a guard was about to draw a knife, Ouyang Xuan hurriedly stopped it with his eyes. The flute is dug with local bamboo, tried a few tones, OK, are quite accurate, the sound is a little sharp, the flute membrane is made of reed inner membrane, on a whim, improvised the famous song "Shepherd Flute" of the later generations, the tune is also quite in line with the current state of mind, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, the sharp tune is fully integrated into the color of the water and sky. The shepherd boy didn't know when he got off the Buick and rode back on the buffalo. Stunned, he looked at Ouyang Xuan, and didn't even care about Buick's retaliatory snatching of his jerky. After the song was played, Ouyang Xuan felt very happy, and a more tactful song "Little Cattle" was played, and the soldiers in the team were all peasant men, and the idyllic childhood time in this song also made them deeply intoxicated.

By the time Ouyang Xuan had had enough, he had already left the village far away, and the shepherd boy had been riding on the back of a cow so stupidly to follow. Ouyang Xuan returned the flute to the shepherd boy and gave him another large piece of jerky. "Baby, let's go play." Seeing that he didn't know how reluctant he was holding the flute, Ouyang Xuan guessed probably. "Want to learn?" , the little guy's head was furious, "Are there any literate musicians in the village?" ”。“ Yes, it is a palace musician who was demoted by King Wu." "Bring a pen and paper," Ouyang Xuan said to the guards next to him, and then dismounted to let the team rest. Lying on the bottom of the carriage, he recorded the tunes of two tunes with the Han Dynasty's Gongshang Jiao Zhengyu and handed them to the shepherd boy. "Just take this and let the musician teach you, go ahead." The shepherd boy was sent away, and the group continued northward.

Ganquan Mountain is not high, there are also fifty or sixty meters high, the forest is luxuriant, come to the highest hill on the platform, here should be the location of the Duliang Temple in the later generations, although it is winter, overlooking the surrounding Jianghuai Plain, Ouyang Xuan can't help but open his mouth to come, "the willow curtain bends over ten thousand strips, and the thin branches are ten thousand points white; Thousands of miles of rivers and rivers enter Hongze, and 10,000 people and rice come from the sky. Xiang Wang Jiangshan is short of strategy, and exalts words for voice". "Good words, good words, Hu Hou words are unique, and they should be the watch of the world." The attendant Cao clapped his hands and shouted, "Oh, let him see the laughter, he still doesn't know the name of the camp when he comes to the camp, and it's very rude." "Caomin Bajun Sima is similar, and the name is Changqing". "Oh?" Ouyang Xuan was very surprised, relying on this matter to make a big fuss, it belongs to the class to get an axe, the seven-word poem just now was written by him when he came here when he saw the stone tablet of "Thousands of Miles of River Huai into the Great Lake". Sima Xiangru, Ouyang Xuan still knows him very well, and if you take a closer look, he has sword eyebrows and a square face, a linen turban, big eyes, a tall nose, and a yellow dress. The whole handsome little blank is just a long run, and his face is a little gray-black. "Why are you surprised?" , Sima Xiangru arched his hand on the side. "Nothing, nothing, I don't know what happened to Sima Cheng?" As soon as the grass people came to Chang'an, they joined the villagers and temporarily settled under the Prime Minister's Mansion to do business, and the first term was both a summons and a waiting. "Haha, you and I still have a chance, I don't know what plans I have in the future?" My father entrusted a fellow villager to find a messenger for the grass people (an official position that is similar to doing miscellaneous work)". "You and I have not yet reached the crown, and we are also the same age, since we have this opportunity, if you have difficulties in the future, you can go to the Fengyi Mansion to seek help." "The grass people thanked Hu Hou for the righteousness, just heard the sound of the Hu Hou flute on the road is very elegant, such a child's thing, Hu Hou can also play beautiful music, just like he thinks that his piano skills are beyond ordinary people, and now he knows that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky." "Sima has been engaged, just this beautiful scenery, how about you and I play a song?" It's like an honor." "Come on, prepare the canopy tent and prepare the kite." The guard next to him gave up his promise and turned to prepare.

The captain who called the surrender of the Wu army "has not asked about the name of the captain since Xiaqiu County (now Chengguan Town, Sixian County) surrendered, and there is always something inappropriate." The lieutenant bowed his hand and said: "In the Zhao Zhou of the Lower East China Sea, my father is the Taifu of Chu Zhao Yiwu, who was killed by the King of Chu a month ago. In the next and last year, he was recommended by his father to serve as the captain of the city." Hearing the name Zhao Zhou, Ouyang Xuan was very familiar, but he couldn't remember it. After going through the list of hundreds of officials and ministers in the "Book of Han", I finally remembered that it turned out to be a prime minister during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and in the end he was unjustly killed for a trivial matter. This Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty really killed indiscriminately for his supreme status, and among his prime ministers, only Tian Wei deserved to die, except for the two who died well, the others were unjustly killed or implicated. "After Captain Zhao, you and Zhang Jian will be in charge of joining the army, after all, there is a need for people with Wu Chu dialect, and this water combat must also be your strength?" Xie Huhou, in the next little water war". "Ben Hou is also considering the formation of a naval army, and when you return, you will find shipbuilders, timber, and soldiers familiar with water warfare to be sent by Ben Hou." "No".

The tent of the canopy has been set up, there is no tent on three sides, only the tent is set up on the windward side, and there are three rows of cases in the shape of a zigzag. A zither is placed on the main seat. Water was boiling on the wood stove, and a glass tea set was placed on top of a tray on the desk. Ouyang Xuan was in front, Zhao Zhou was one step behind, and Sima Xiangru was following three steps away. Although it was a little cold outside, there were more than a dozen large stoves burning inside the canopy, which was much warmer than the surrounding temperature. With Zhao Zhou's arrangement, the water taken was naturally a spring not far away, and the white wolf brothers and sisters were lying in the tiger's skin nest next to the stove not far in front of the main case. A hundred paces away, the soldiers were roasting mutton under the guidance of their own cook, who had been exchanged for rice in the village below the mountain. The guests were seated, the water was boiling, and the guards made a cup of tea for each of the three of them.

Ouyang Xuan took a sip of tea, stroked the piano and played, the song "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" has been played smoothly, without any astringency, and the high and low tones are perfectly coordinated under the guidance of Nie Hire's musician. After a song, Sima Xiangru and Zhao Zhouru were drunk, and the next song "Erquan Reflecting the Moon" was even more dazzling. Before the song ended, a female voice remembered from a distance, "Good song, I can't imagine that in this barren mountain you can still hear the wonderful song played by Ruhu, I don't know where it is sacred?" ”。
