Chapter 486: Choice
To the west!
Everyone knows it's a dead end!
The farther west, the more desolate it becomes, and out of the steppe it is the desert, and the hundreds of thousands of troops go to the west to eat sand?
Now everyone is hungry to this point. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info If you go further west...... Won't everyone starve to death in the desert?
But what if you don't go west? Now, the big guy that the Han army is chasing behind the buttocks, if he doesn't go west, it will definitely be a dead end.
How the Han army dealt with the Taiping army is not a secret? Hundreds of thousands of Taiping soldiers were imprisoned in prisoner camps. Waiting to be sent overseas with their families.
In other words, exiled to a wild land tens of thousands of miles away, what is that place? And what?
"If we don't go west, are we really going to Africa?"
Liang Zuoshan said as he walked,
"Didn't Father Lee say that? That place in Africa is not much different from ours. It's nothing more than going there and farming......"
Li Tianyang said this, the Father Li in his mouth is a foreigner, and in their Taiping army, they have long stopped believing in any worship of God, and they believe in the God religion brought by this Father Li.
"Isn't that also exile?"
Liang Zuoshan sighed in a high voice and a low voice, and walked towards the set with Li Tianyang, most of the people in the set left, and they didn't know where to hide from this military disaster.
I don't know when this steppe market arose, but it was a market where Mongolian herdsmen came to exchange things for dozens of miles nearby. There is a road that is not wide in the middle of the set, and there is an old locust tree on the side of the road.
When the two of them arrived, they looked up and saw a man sitting cross-legged under the tree. This person has a sharp beak and monkey gills, five short figures, very obscene, and a white cloth is spread in front of him, on which is written the word "hexagram".
Fortunately, I met them, if it was replaced by the Taiping troops who came from the south in the past. Maybe I'll behead him as a demon.
In recent years, the Taiping Army of the North Road is no longer the Taiping Army of the original. Not only has the religion changed, but also the attitude towards many things, and we will no longer burn temples and books as we did in the past. Naturally, I will not see the monk Sha and the Taoist priest as in the past.
But even so, it is really new to see a fortune teller in this place, and it is a little strange in addition to being fresh.
However, Liang Zuoshan, who was a little upset at this time, didn't think too much about it, but glanced at the person obliquely, and then asked Li Tianyang in a low voice:
"Count?"
Although as a scholar, he should be close and far away, but Liang Zuoshan, who has not counted hexagrams for many years, wants to count them.
Compared to him, Li Tianyang seemed a little impatient,
"King Jin, can we still use this environment now? You don't need to count it to know that our brother has bad luck, and it's quite a head. ”
But no, the current situation is clear, but the big guys are all unlucky, what is it at this time?
And Liang Zuoshan looked at the fortune teller in the white coat with deep meaning. Then whispered:
"I'm looking at this thing unpleasantly, we are not happy in our hearts, it is better to find something to vent his anger."
Hearing King Jin say this, although Li Tianyang felt a little weird, he still smiled evilly:
"It's really the little lady's first time to raise a man and she met a forked bird, this kid is unlucky, okay."
In fact, he also knew that he needed to find any excuse as the king of Jin? If you want to get angry, just slash him. But it's an excuse in the first place, and sometimes if you want to do something, you really need an excuse.
The two men came to the man and dismounted, then walked up to the fortune teller and asked.
"Fortune tellers?"
The squinting fortune teller saw that the business was coming to the door, so he sat calmly and upright, and said:
"Exactly!"
"Is it a thing of the people on the rivers and lakes? Or is there really some means? ”
In the early years, Li Tianyang, who had run the rivers and lakes, asked.
The fortune teller looked at the long hair in front of him and said.
"In Xia Zhang Yunshan, although it is said that it is the rivers and lakes that run and eat the rice of the rivers and lakes, but the fortune telling is an ancestral ability, although I dare not say that things are like gods, but it is also eight or nine and ten."
Hearing him blow like this, Li Tianyang immediately laughed.
"Yo ho! The toad yawns, what a big breath! I'm not afraid to flash my tongue! Let's try it, if it's right, it's easy to say anything, silver, gold, silver, yours are indispensable! But if you don't ......."
Li Tianyang took out a gun from his waist and slapped it in front of Zhang Yunshan, and said viciously.
"Do you know what this is? Then it will talk to you. ”
Zhang Yunshan still looked neither humble nor arrogant, but raised his hand.
"Good. Lord Wang, please come up with the topic. ”
Everyone is not surprised that he is called the prince, after all, the people often call the prince when they see them.
Liang Zuoshan looked at the appearance of the two of them, and suddenly felt funny, and he had an idea, pointed at Li Tianyang and said:
"This is also a living immortal, and he also had the ability to calculate the iron mouth god back then. Today, Wang Ba met a turtle and found a family. I see the story of Yang Zhi and Suo Chao competing in the book between the two of you, comparing your skills? ”
said and gave Li Tianyang a look.
Zhang Yunshan glanced at Li Tianyang, and then said.
"I want to hear about it."
Liang Zuoshan pointed to the old locust tree and said.
"See? There is a bird on each of the two branches of the east and west of this tree, the one that falls on the east side looks like a black crow, and the west side is a red turtle dove. ”
Li Tianyang and Zhang Yunshan both looked up, and sure enough, two birds, one black and one red, shrank their wings and perched on the branches.
Zhang Yunshan, who knew that the other party was embarrassing him, did not show a trace of fear. Instead, he said to Li Tianyang.
"Just ask this prince to shake out a hexagram for us, how about we break off?"
Li Tianyang laughed.
"Whatever you want."
Zhang Yunshan took out three copper coins from his waist, then handed them to Liang Zuoshan and said,
"Trouble, the prince is tired of shaking his hands six times."
Liang Zuoshan took the copper coin, shook it, shook it, and after six times, he got a hexagram, Zhang Yunshan took a small stick and drew six paintings on the ground, and then said.
"'Leave'!" Away from 'fire'! ”
Zhang Yunshan stretched out his hand to Li Tianyang, looked at him and said:
"Lord Wang, please first."
Li Tianyang waved his hand and said unceremoniously.
"You say it first, you say it first."
Zhang Yunshan didn't give in, took a branch and wrote a big "black" character on the ground, and then looked at him and said.
"The black one flies first."
Li Tianyang immediately laughed.
"Haha, we're different from you, let's say the red one flies first."
Liang Zuo suddenly laughed and got up. Then he said in a loud voice. "Interesting, interesting! Now it's time to look at the birds in the trees. ”
A few men stood under the tree, gossiping and staring at the two birds in the treetops.
The two birds were motionless. After some time, a sudden gust of wind passed, and the trees murmured a few times, and I saw the red bird get up and flapp its wings on the treetops. Li Tianyang was about to shout, but the red bird took away its wings, curled up and fell asleep again, and Li Tianyang spat in disappointment. At this moment, there was a bird cry overhead, but it was the crow that rose up and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
The scene in front of him made Liang Zuoshan stunned for a moment, then shouted hello, and then laughed, Zhang Yunshan hugged Liang Zuoshan and Li Tianyang with a fist.
"I conceded."
Li Tianyang, who was stunned by the fortune teller's hand, also laughed.
"It's really a toad who lifts the curtain and has a small hand. It's just that we don't understand, what is the solution? ”
Zhang Yunshan stretched out his hand and made a gesture of asking. Li Tianyang said: "As soon as you opened your mouth just now, what is the fire, the color of the fire is naturally red, it should be the red bird to fly first, why is it the black bird that rises first?" ”
Zhang Yunshan showed his confidence, looked at Li Tianyang and said.
"It's naturally good to leave the fire, and it's not false that the fire is red, but think about it, Lord Wang, every time the fire starts, isn't it black smoke first?"
Hearing her say this, Li Tianyang was stunned at first, and then laughed again.
"It's really the belly of the old lady, and there are a lot of ways."
Liang Zuoshan, who was shocked by the fortune teller of the north, said with a straight face.
"If you really have the ability, then you can give us some pointers......"
Zhang Yunshan raised his hand to interrupt Liang Zuoshan's words and said.
"The prince doesn't need to speak, I'll talk about the prince's past first, the prince will see if it's reliable, if it's not right, the prince will be served with a big ear scraper, if you still don't feel angry, just let the knife and axe hand cut off my head to relieve your anger to the prince."
Liang Zuoshan squatted in front of Zhang Yunshan, looked at her seriously, and then said:
"Okay, you say it."
Zhang Yunshan looked at Liang Zuoshan carefully,
"The prince was born in a poor family, and his luck was really bad before, although he studied hard in the cold window, he always had no chance of fame."
Liang Zuoshan, who raised his eyebrows sharply because of this sentence in his heart, remained silent, straightened his ears and listened to Zhang Yunshan continue:
"Later, I met the support of nobles, and it was only when I came to operate. Although he has gone through many risks, he has also made a lot of contributions, and he has prospered all the way, rising step by step. ”
Liang Zuoshan nodded secretly in his heart. But if it wasn't for the Taiping Army to hit Henan, he met King Yu, and was led by his old man as a confidant, and he was even more obedient to himself. How could I be where I am today?
Hearing him say this, Liang Zuoshan had some admiration for this Yunshan, and changed his words.
"Can you show us which way to go?"
"The prince is a person who is extremely penetrant, many things can be understood at a glance, no need to spit on Zhang, just send the prince a word, please make your own decision."
Zhang Yunshan said, picked up the small stick again, and wrote a big word on the ground, which Liang Zuoshan and Li Tianyang recognized as the word "stop".
Looking at this word, the two of them didn't speak for a long time. I don't know how long it took, Liang Zuoshan took out a few silver dollars from his pocket. Lost to this fortune teller.
"Thank you, sir, for this hexagram."
Then, Liang Zuoshan and Li Tianyang got up and got on the horse again, and walked forward slowly, both of them were silent along the way, each thinking about their own thoughts. When they arrived at the gate of a courtyard, Li Dazhuang, Liang Zuoshan's guard, stepped forward and said that he would rest here, and the two got off their horses and entered the courtyard one after the other.
"Stop."
Li Tianyang leaned in front of Liang Zuoshan, looked at him thoughtfully and said,
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, I pondered the word surnamed Zhang, which is a bit interesting."
Liang Zuoshan stopped in the courtyard, but did not make a sound. At this time, his expression was a little solemn, as if he was thinking about something.
Li Tianyang is mysterious and secretive.
"I have an idea, would you like to hear it?"
Although Liang Zuoshan and Li Tianyang are two people, they are one prince and one inspector. But in fact, Li Tianyang is Liang Zuoshan's confidant, and it was he who took the lead in raising Liang Zuoshan to the head of the big guy.
Liang Zuoshan has read books, is careful, and has many ideas, while Li Tianyang is suspicious and dares to fight and kill. On weekdays, he obeys Liang Zuoshan's words, but today Li Tianyang has an idea.
Liang Zuoshan glanced at him a little strangely, and then said directly.
"If you have a fart, what are you selling?"
Li Tianyang looked at King Jin and said.
"Do you remember Zhang Yuanpeng?"
"Zhang Yuanpeng? Isn't that the governor of Shanxi? ”
"Exactly."
Zhang Yuanpeng is the governor of Shanxi, and he is also a close confidant of Zhao Ziyu, the governor of Shanxi.
Liang Zuoshan is no stranger to Zhang Yuanpeng, and is even extremely familiar with him, not only because both of them went to Beijing to take the exam. It is because in the past two years under his rectification, the situation in Shanxi has deteriorated day by day for the Taiping Army.
It is even because of this that Liang Zuoshan invited the Wing King to enter Shanxi, but even so, he failed to take Shanxi, and in the end, the river mussels competed with each other, and the fisherman benefited. On the contrary, it allowed the Han army to take advantage.
But for Zhang Yuanpeng, Liang Zuoshan can be said to admire him very much, if it weren't for Zhang Yuanpeng, how could he Zhao Ziyu not worry about military salaries?
Why did Li Tianyang suddenly mention this person now, Liang Zuoshan felt a little confused, so he asked.
"What's wrong with him? How did you remember to talk about him? ”
Li Tianyang rolled his eyes, looked at Liang Zuoshan and said,
"Yesterday, I heard that he had surrendered the Han army, and now Shanxi has become the world of the Han army......"
"It's not surprising, he is the governor of Shanxi, surrendered, what is strange about the Han army, there are a few governors in this world who have not surrendered. After surrendering, the Han army can still change its background. ”
Although it is said that the Chinese Dynasty wants to overthrow the Manchu Dynasty, it does not prevent them from using the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and there are several people in the Chinese Dynasty who have not been ministers of the Qing Dynasty.
On the contrary, they are anti-Qing people, but they can't tolerate it, either kill or exile.
"They can go and change their backgrounds, King Jin, we can also go over and change their backgrounds!"
Li Tianyang's words made Liang Zuoshan look at him involuntarily, almost unable to believe that he said this.
"Hmm...... You're saying we're surrendering too? Even if we want to surrender, how will people accept us? Even if we accept it, we may be thrown away in Africa! ”
"Hey, hey,"
Li Tianyang smiled.
"Then it depends on how to surrender, doesn't it?"
