At noon the next day, Jian Chen packed up and bid farewell to the city that had brought him a rehearsal of the power struggle of the clan alliance in the future. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The team of companions expanded a lot, and Yueyi sent dozens of people to follow Yuemei, carrying various gifts, and went together.

Yuemei finally got on the horse as she wished, not straddle it, of course, but sat sideways on a very soft linen blanket, her legs dangling to the side.

Although Jian Chen didn't quite understand why the leader of Yueyi would let Yuemei go, he thought that Xia Cheng's fate was still in this girl's words, so he was very careful to please the other party and deliberately said something funny.

"A little further on the banks of the great river, then you will not have to ride a horse, the boats of our city will be waiting on the shore, and you can ride on a boat, which is much smoother than on horseback."

Thinking of this girl's temperament, Jian Chen added: "Sitting on the bow of the boat and watching the boat break through the waves, tasting the wine and food of Xia Cheng, and looking at the dead leaves of the mountains on both sides of the river, it is no less than the white flowers of the Persimson Forest." ”

Yuemei shook her head and said, "What's there to see in autumn?" Full of fallen leaves. ”

"If you are close, you will be leaves, and if you are far away, you will be different. If you take a boat through a maple forest, the frost leaves are like fire, and the reflection is swaying, as if the whole river is on fire. The most beautiful thing is on a moonlit night, a glass of wine as clear as water in the summer city, sitting alone on the bow of the boat. A moon in the river, a moon in the sky, and a moon in the cup......"

Jian Chen did everything he could to think of the beautiful flicker, and Yuemei half-squinted her eyes a little intoxicated.

I didn't expect that there was a phantom in autumn that was no less than spring, nor did I expect that Jian Chen would have so many similarities with her, it turned out that his eyes were not only bloody, but also fresh.

Yuemei was very excited, with the joy of leaving home and the expectation of the kind of boat that could sail against the current in Xia Cheng, who she had never heard of and had never seen in person, and praised Xia Cheng and Chen Jian very much.

After praising them, those people in Xia Cheng had a light on their faces, and they even straightened their waists and boasted.

"What is a ship that can swim against the current? There are a lot of good things in Xia Cheng, Ji Xia said that as long as you use your hands and brains, there is nothing you can't do, and it's nothing. ”

Yuemei looked at Jian Chen with wide eyes, as if she wanted to know if Jian Chen really said such a thing?

Jian Chen's face was dark, and he said in his heart that what I said was not used here, but seeing that the clansmen were immersed in pride, it was difficult to refute, so he had to nod.

Yuemei clapped her hands in surprise, since the last wildfire, she believed that what Chen Jian said would definitely be done, and when she saw Chen Jian nodding, she hurriedly said: "Ji Xia, do you know, there are two places where I hate autumn the most. First, the grass and trees are withered and withered; Second, there is no thunder, lightning, rain and rainbow. ”

"I listened all the way and knew that there were gourds in the house in Summer City that could bloom in the fall; Knowing that the soldiers of Xia Cheng can control lightning and thunder. But Ji Xia, can you let me see a rainbow in autumn? ”

Jian Chen laughed, took out a gourd with water from the saddle bag, took a sip and put it in his mouth, rode his horse to Yuemei's side, and spewed out a mouthful of mist in the sun without warning.

Yuemei opened her mouth wide, looking at the flashing rainbow, a little infatuated, and wanted to find Chen Jian's trace through the white mist that was about to disperse, and found that Chen Jian had run to the front of the team......

…………

Along the way, Yuemei had a very happy day, and while Jian Chen was tired of coping, he visited several cities and clans.

The weather gradually changed from cool to cold, and there were more and more tribes going to Sucheng on the banks of the river, and the sailboats of Xia Cheng were out of the limelight, attracting countless praises.

After waiting in a river for a few days, the second boat that came all the way down the river from Xia Cheng finally met and was full of people and things, this was the third boat that had been agreed to rush out before leaving, Yu Qian'er of course would not delay the day set by Chen Jian, in addition to the things that Chen Jian wanted, there were also a few furs to protect against the cold.

Two ships, a line of horses, even if some people didn't know about the existence of Xia Cheng before, they will definitely remember this name now.

Sucheng is not far away, the land on both sides of the river is becoming more and more abundant, the scorched black land that has been harvested and burned by fire is connected into a piece, and the villages are becoming more and more dense.

A few days later, under a big tree on the shore, Su He, who had not been seen for more than a month, was waiting for Chen Jian's arrival with the people of Sucheng there, which was a very high courtesy, so it was not Su He who could call the shots, it was obviously the meaning of Su Yue, the leader of Sucheng.

Just like when Jian Chen went to greet Su He, under the grass pavilion that was temporarily erected, Su He held up the wine and said with a smile: "Ji Xia, I came to greet him on the orders of the leader." When I returned to the city and talked about what I had seen in Xiacheng, I didn't believe it, but after asking all the people who had gone with me, I praised it again and again. There are so many clans, and even many relatives who swore an oath back then, no leader has ever been greeted from such a distance, and the leader of Suyue really wants to meet Ji Xia. ”

Jian Chen raised his glass and said, "Xia thanks Sucheng for his enthusiasm, but that's it...... Will there be any dissatisfaction with the rest of the clans? ”

"No, it won't. Ji Xia deserves such a greeting, if not for anything else, just for Ji Xia's feat of sending troops for 400 miles to rescue the Acropolis and defeat Xirong. When the leader heard the sentence that the same words and the same brothers and relatives do not need to be bloody, he applauded again and again, and drank a lot of wine that night and praised Ji Xia continuously. You must know that after so many years, there are not many clans that still abide by the oath, not to mention that Xia Cheng is not the clan that swore the oath back then, which can be even more rare. ”

"Now, the news of Xia Cheng has spread in the nearby cities. The wheels and war horses that Ji Xia gave to the leader made the leader like it even worse. The surrounding cities also knew the benefits of the wheel, and they begged for it, but we couldn't do it, and they were all waiting for Ji Xia. ”

Chen Jian was secretly happy in his heart, Su He's arrival had already shown Su Cheng's attitude, relying on wheels, bronze, gunpowder, ox ploughing and other technologies, Xia Cheng certainly deserved such an over-standard welcome, as for the battle of salvation, I am afraid that it may not have such a big impact.

After drinking three cups, Jian Chen asked, "How far is it from Sucheng?" ”

"Three or four days' journey, according to your Xia Cheng, there are still more than 200 miles. More than forty miles east from here, the great river broke there a long time ago, changing the course of the river, silt piled up, the land was fertile, even if you don't use the method of your Xia Cheng ridges, there is no need to migrate for decades, and that is where Hua was taken away by the river god back then. Seventy miles to the northeast is the spring valley, after the spring valley and walk for another day, you will arrive at Sucheng. ”

"Spring Valley? But before the alliance between Hua and Su, where did the two clans fight? ”

Chen Jian had heard a lot of stories on both sides of the river, and of course he knew about this battle, from Echeng to the Acropolis, more than once.

There aren't many places and histories in this world that you can be nostalgic for, so it's always exciting to hear about a place you know and have a story.

Su He shook his head with a smile and said, "What Ji Xia said is also right and wrong. It was indeed that Spring Valley, but the battle was not between two clans, but between dozens of clans. Although Sucheng was defeated, Hua did not slaughter it that year, but buried it together, and sent food to supply the defeated tribes, and won the leader of our tribe, and treated the people of Sucheng the same as the people of Huacheng, and finally won the support of the clan. ”

"At that time, I was still very young, and I only heard my father talk about the war, which lasted for more than ten days, and dozens of clans fought endlessly, which was far from what I could imagine."

Su He saw Jian Chen's yearning, and said with a smile: "There is still enough time, many leaders are still on the way, we must pass through there if we want to go, since Ji Xia is here for the first time, just go and have a look." There are still a lot of mausoleum guards there, and some old people have participated in the great war of the year, but you can listen to them......"

With anticipation and an inexplicable feeling, Chen Jian stepped into the huge valley, a path stepped out of a person winding in the valley, the sunny side of the valley is a crisp and pine, not far from the cemetery, the two sides of the war fought before their deaths, but they were buried together according to the same custom after death.

A small village is in the valley, all of whom were sent by Hua to guard the cemetery here, or their descendants, and the great war that happened here has been passed down in their hearts for generations, because there is no pen and paper, and only in this way will history not be obliterated.

Chen Jian listened to an old man tell about the scene at that time, and his heart was also shocked: the clans that learned to grow had enough population and food, dozens of clans held different flags and bird and beast patterns with surnames, and tens of thousands of people fought and shouted, but finally dozens of clans surrendered to the charm of heroes...... What a spirit and pride.

There are not many places worth nostalgia in this world for the time being, but Quangu is undoubtedly one of the few, and what Chen Jian sighed about was not the scene of the war, but the meaning of the war itself.

The battle of Quangu is not too big, and there are only more than 10,000 people on both sides combined, but Chen Jian feels that everyone involved is a hero in this cultural circle.

Heroes do not necessarily have to participate in the war of millions of people, nor do they have to be known to the world, but they must be involved in the rolling tide of the times intentionally or unintentionally, and have their own figure at the node of history.

It can be said that the Battle of Quangu was a battle that changed the pattern of the entire cultural circle, a clarion call that laid the dawn of the unity of the cultural circle, and a battle at a historical node in this world.

Those clans that had learned to plant gradually began to produce their families and clans, and clans, which were only related to each other, gradually disintegrated, forming primitive cities or rudiments of states, and began to attack each other.

This is an inevitable trend, as is the case with every civilization that has come this far. If it were just that, it wouldn't be so brilliant.

The biggest difference in the great war a few decades ago is that the victors did not choose to slaughter and exterminate the losers or reduce them to slavery, but chose to unite and in-laws, turning the twilight of the blood clan into the dawn of cultural kindredness.

The alliance of small clans that were connected by blood ties disappeared and a clan alliance based on the same or similar habits, languages, and customs appeared.

At the same time, it also pointed out a path for future generations: the original trust can not be based on clan kinship, it is far better to be separated than to be together, and it turns out that together is much less conquest and fighting...... (To be continued.) )
