Section 447 A different kind of busyness
"In addition to the mountain, the special m is still a mountain!" Fan Wuxian, the general of the right Xiao cavalry guard, rode on the horse, took a sip on the ground, took the water bladder on the horse's back, touched it, it was empty, and then picked up the tin kettle on his waist, unscrewed the lid, and a strong aroma of wine spread to the noses of others, and everyone greedily sucked the aroma, and watched him pour wine into his mouth with envy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The army is not allowed to drink alcohol without authorization, people often drink alcohol to keep warm when it is cold, but under the rule of the horse master, when the weather is cold, there are more dried meat and cheese, saying that drinking alcohol can not keep out the cold at all, anyway, he is the boss, everything is right, and the jerky tastes good.
But for a senior general of the level of Fan Wuxian, he is still a bit privileged, and he knows how to exercise moderation, so he will let the horse go.
However, for drinking, a handsome, energetic and sturdy official in his thirties is not envious, he has time to drink, it is better to hurry up and be busy with his paintings, he is Yan Shigu, a painter with the army.
Hearing Fan Wuxian's words, Yan Shigu was very unimpressed, in his opinion, the sight of his eyes made his heart flutter.
They entered the extremely magnificent stone mountain and Grand Canyon, the magic of nature, where there are all kinds of mixed forms, some wide, some narrow, some sharp like pagodas, some piled up like bricks and stones, some lonely peaks are dangerous, some are like caves, it is difficult to describe the scene, it is difficult to describe the shock that the scene brings to people.
I just feel like it's another kind of paradise. The river next to it has nine bends and eighteen bends, and on the far side of the river is a lush mountain, where you can see cattle, sheep and horses, but the distance is far away, and it is difficult for the cavalry to go and rob.
Ahead, the huge stone mountain blocks people's eyes, turn along the road, you can see a line of sky, stone outside the stone, people can't help but sigh the magic pen of nature!
Yan Shigu praised loudly, saying that he couldn't wait to live here for a long time, but he provoked the eyes of the majority of officers and soldiers: "It's all mountains, what's there to see!" ”
"A bunch of dirt buns!"
In the face of reckless men who don't know how to appreciate, it is difficult to find a bosom friend from the ancient disciples of Yan Shi!
His horse was better, so he stopped halfway to paint, then rode his horse to speed up to the front team, and then found a good scene, and came back to paint.
When he arrived at the campsite, Yan Shigu couldn't stop, and he painted without sleep or food, completing the paintings halfway through.
Everywhere I went, I was busy looking for wonderful scenes.
When encountering battles, Yan Shigu was more energetic, and he specially found high places to paint, recorded the battlefield scenes, and painted the tragedy and bravery of the battles between the two sides.
He mainly paints two kinds of paintings, one is landscape painting and the other is battlefield painting.
The landscape painting is the most, the Tang army set off in Dafeichuan, until Nangqian, the scenery encountered on the road is countless, there are mountains and rivers, there are barren Gobi, there are also vigorous prairies, and the snow-capped mountains along the way are frequent visitors under the brush of Yan Shigu.
The Tang and Tibetan coalition forces and the Tubo people engaged many times, and the two sides fought all the time, just like just now, the Tubo people appeared from behind the stone mountain and shot down random arrows, while the Tang army could only stare dryly, raise their shields to resist, and pass quickly.
When passing through a slightly flat grassland, hundreds of Tibetans came out and tried to attack the Tang army's baggage battalion.
This involves a policy of the Tang Army against the enemy: Duzi.
Wei Xi believed that the population difference between the Tang and Tubo countries was huge, and the one-on-one loss would be beneficial to weakening the current military strength of the Tubo people and the future rule of the Tang Dynasty on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, so he issued a strict order: Those who dare to retreat in battle will be killed! (Unless there is too much difference between the number of friends and foes)
Therefore, the battle scene between the two sides was hot, but it provided Yan Shigu with excellent painting materials.
His war paintings fully reflect the battle scenes, and the style of painting is delicate, from the charging cavalry to the dying wounded soldiers.
There were fierce brigade hedging, there were squad entanglements, and the scenes of the Tang army attacking the barracks are not listed one by one.
There is even a forbidden map----- the scene of the Tang army's massacre of the Tubo people!
Of course, there is also a spring harmony scene of Tangbo goodwill and building a beautiful home on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
There are many characters in the painting, and the images are vivid, including Tang army generals, small soldiers, Tibetan generals, surrendered Tibetans, prisoners and civilians.
There are also a large number of Tibetan costumes, Tibetan landscapes, and Tibetan buildings.
Even Yan Shigu's paintings have become an important basis for the study of Tibetan culture, because his paintings record all aspects of Tibet, and the original appearance of the original is no longer in the world.
For example, the largest Yongzhong temple in the city of Luo (the traditional religion of the Tibetan people, Buddhism began in Songtsan Gampo, but did not prevail), the devil in the hall is vivid, the scale of the hall is large, and the Tang Dynasty Palace is compared, it is really the peak of the Tubo people's architecture.
Yan Shigu lingered at the temple for three days, and when he returned on the fourth day, he found that the temple had been in ruins overnight.
The Tang army carried out the "Chengguan Plan", destroyed the temple, and systematically destroyed the Tubo culture!
Yan Shigu closed the door for a week, and with his amazing memory, he painted hundreds of images of the Yongzhong Sect Temple, with exquisite architectural shapes and realistic statues.
Apart from him, there is no image of the temple of Yongzhong.
Those images, hidden in the deep palace, were only for the royal family to enjoy, until the Tang Dynasty was inseparable, and then they were loaned to historians for scientific research.
Not only the Yongzhong Honjiao Temple, but also many buildings destroyed by the Tang Army, many of which can be seen from his paintings.
Because of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, passion and diligence, Yan Shigu can be called a high-yield expert, he is full of energy, an average of more than ten paintings a day, from the general to the small soldier, the characters are vividly portrayed, the image is distinct, it is a rare masterpiece.
As a rare high-level painter, Yan Shigu was treated preferentially, he was the only unrelated person who could participate in the high-level military conference, and the order was strict during the military conference, while Yan Shigu could move around at will, observing the demeanor of the participants from all directions, so as to make the best paintings.
He painted Wei Xi's heroic posture when he charged, the style of the march, and the relaxation when camping, every important place, Yan Shigu painted the image of Wei Xi, and finally formed a set of 54 masterpieces "General Wei Ping Tubo Set of Pictures", each painting is accurate and smooth, the fine brush is delicate, full of expressiveness, fully showing Wei Xi's performance in various situations, the charm is unique, it is a rare masterpiece.
And the other generals also have many portraits, and they are painted vividly, and all of them regard them as family heirlooms.
This set of paintings was brought back to Luoyang and collected in the Tianyi Hall in Princess Taiping's mansion, and after Princess Taiping appreciated it, she said: "The gold will not be changed!" "So at the price of 2,000 guan per painting, he rewarded Yan Shigu with 100,000 and 8,000 copper coins!
In order to facilitate and protect Yan Shigu, there is a fire man who protects him and waits for him, he only needs to focus on painting, while the other fire man protects his paintings, everything is at his command!
In such a good environment, Yan Shigu became famous, he tasted the sweetness, as long as Wei Xi fought, he immediately followed, Wei Xi went all the way to the west, hit the Atlantic, Yan Shigu also painted to the Atlantic, publicized Wei Xi's martial arts, and also left an amazing number of heirlooms to future generations!
