Chapter 224 Xiao He Visits
A thousand-word essay makes the cold winter of the building warehouse more beautiful.
In only half a day, the sky and the earth are yellow, and the song of the universe appears in the streets and alleys of Loucang Town. The carefree children did not understand what was so touching about this article. But it's catchy, and the rhetoric is gorgeous, and it's quite interesting to sing.
Loucang belongs to the land of Chu, and most of the folk songs are mainly based on Chu Ci, especially Qu Yuan's "Lisao", "Nine Songs" and "Tianwen". Chu Ci is evolved from the Chu folk song, with extremely strong local characteristics, so it is also called Nanfeng, Nanyin.
The witch style of Chu was prevalent, and the Chu people entertained the gods with singing and dancing, so that many myths were proudly preserved.
This also makes Chu Ci full of strong religious colors, with the unique tone and music of Chu, full of romance.
The thousand-character text and Chu Ci are completely different.
In the original history, the emergence of the thousand-character text was the result of the influence of Han culture after the exclusive respect for Confucianism and the deposition of the hundred schools, coupled with the integration of the northern and southern cultures of the Wuhu Chaohua period, resulting in a completely different chapter from this era. On the basis of inheriting the Chu culture, it also integrates Confucian scholarship and the pride of the northern nomads, making the thousand-character text exude a dignified atmosphere.
Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate......
After reciting the thousand-character text, Liu Kan took into account Liu Qin's age, so he adopted some music methods from later generations to make it more understandable and can quickly learn to sing. Even Liu Kan himself didn't expect such a result.
So much so that when Chen Ping and others heard it, they were all amazed by it.
And Liu Qin, in one day, sang this thousand-character text very well. Even Wang Xin, who doesn't like to read, can easily put two sentences on the field about the phoenix singing in the bamboo and the white horse eating field, which really makes Wang Ji very happy, and the smile on her face is brighter.
Meantime. By word of mouth. 1,000 words of textual content. It also gradually spread to the surroundings of the building......
Liu Kan obviously didn't expect it. This "Thousand Character Text" is for this era. What kind of consequences will it have. He just wrote a letter. Send someone to Xianyang. I implore Shusun Tong to write the "Erudite Chapter" and "Thousand Character Text" for him. After that, he put the matter behind him. Because. For Liu Kan. There are more important things. That is to handle the marriage of Liu Ju and Wang Jidi.
Mrs. Kan and Xiang Qiang after some discussion. Married Liu Ju and Wang Jidi. It was set on the day of the great cold.
The Great Cold. The last solar term in the middle of the twenty-four solar terms.
Thirty-nine has just passed. Forty-nine places. It's the coldest time of the year. But after the big cold. It is the beginning of spring. Everything recovers.
According to the hexagram. Inverted no (tone pi. Three sounds) Ji Tai said.
Whether it's Liu Ju or not. Wang Ji can be regarded as having experienced ups and downs, suffered a lot of hardships, suffered many sins, and is a bitter person.
Now, a good day has come, isn't it just a pole?
Regarding Mrs. Kan's decision, Liu Kan has no opinion. Anyway, whether it's good or bad, it's all the same.
Marriage in the Qin period. It is far less complicated and cumbersome than when Confucianism prevailed in later generations, nor is there many absurd and ridiculous customs when marriage was in later generations.
After Liu Kan announced Liu Ju's marriage to everyone, everyone didn't show too much surprise.
After all, Liu Jushen lives in a simple house and rarely shows up. So much so that many people know that Liu Kan has a brother, but not many people have seen it. The aborigines of Loucang are better, and when Liu Ju killed Ding Qi, he showed his face once. However, many more people don't even know Liu Ju's name. Outsiders living in buildings. Some don't even know that Liu Kan has such a brother.
Time flies, and Liu Ju's wedding day is coming.
Wang Ji has moved out of Liu's mansion and temporarily lives in the Chen family's other village. Mrs. Lu and Kan are also busy all day long, while Liu Ju grins every day and smirks at everyone he sees.
Liu Ju. He is over thirty years old.
But the body is still in peak condition.
The strength is getting more and more amazing. The martial arts are also more and more exquisite.
He originally had a very strong foundation and practiced boxing. While working hard, under the guidance of Liu Kan, he learned Tai Chi. .shd.e book.道 //
After several years of cultivation, especially after An Qi lifted the lock slave mark on his body for him, Liu Ju's whole person changed.
Normal weapons are no longer usable.
Liu Kan came back from Pingyang, and after thinking about it for a long time, he designed a suitable weapon for Liu Ju.
Mace!
Liu Ju's divine power is amazing, and he also walks a fierce road, and likes to open and close wide to defeat the enemy with strength. Originally, Liu Kan wanted to build two sledgehammers for Liu Ju. But it later became clear that this hammer is not easy to practice. In the Qin period, there was no systematic hammer method, and Liu Ju's age was not suitable for cultivating from scratch. Therefore, Liu Kan simply asked Panye Lao Father and Son to buy goblin iron with a lot of money in the iron house, and used the method of 100 steelmaking developed by Panye Laogang, which took 30 days to create a giant mace weighing 180 catties.
It is about one foot and two feet long, and the body of the rod is thicker than a baby's arm.
The oval hammer head of the rod, with one hundred and eight iron spikes on it, is particularly impressive.
This heavy mace, even Liu Kan felt overwhelmed. But in Liu Ju's hands, it is like a lamp grass, and it can be opened with one arm.
Liu Ju couldn't put down this weapon.
All day with a mace, he competed with people in the barracks.
Zhong Liwu and irrigated the baby, but he was no match for Liu Ju for twenty rounds. If it is said that there are only two people who can fight with Liu Ju in this Loucang Town. Liu Kan is naturally one, but he is not Liu Ju's opponent with pure strength.
Every time he fights Liu Ju, he can only rely on skill to win. But the process is mysterious and mysterious, and it is impossible to tell who wins and who loses.
There is another place that can fight Liu Ju, that is, Wang Xin...... Oh, after Liu Juju got married, it was time for Wang Xin to change his name to Liu Xin.
Liu Xin is just over sixteen and is nearly nine feet tall.
is a head shorter than Liu Ju, and when the two of them stand together, Liu Kan can't help but say: These two people are really like a father and son.
Liu Xin also took a fierce road. The weapon used is also a mace.
However, compared with Liu Ju's mace, Liu Xin's weapon is obviously one size smaller, weighing 100 catties. When these two people competed, they heard the sound of ping-pong weapons colliding. The roar continued, and the loud noise continued. Let the people watching the battle from the sidelines feel frightened.
Under Liu Ju, he was undefeated for fifty rounds.
Nowadays, in the Loucang barracks, there is Liu's three bears.
Some people even joked: Liu's three bears, the giant bear is the most. In other words, in the eyes of everyone, Liu Judi's lethality should be the first
Of course, no one is perfect.
Liu Ju also has a huge flaw. That is, not good at horse fighting. However, Liu Ju didn't take it to heart, Ma Zhan couldn't do it. But we are the first in foot combat.
Hehe, that's enough! There are still five days before the wedding day, and in front of the Liu Mansion in the building, the lights have been put up.
Liu Kan took Han Xin and Sima Xi and left the mansion early in the morning to inspect the barracks. According to the Great Qin Decree, Liu Kan, the Surabaya, was in charge of a school of soldiers and horses. It's just that the old battalion is not the same as the ordinary army. According to the military system of the Qin Dynasty. The old battalion belongs to another part of the army. This other unit makes the old battalion fundamentally different from other armies.
The first ordinary school has a full capacity of 2,500 students.
And the local garrison, that is, about 2,000 people.
But the old battalion now has 4,000 soldiers and horses, including 800 cavalry, a team of chariots, and about 2,500 infantry.
With such troops, it stands to reason that they are sufficient. However, due to the jurisdiction of Liu Kan, the governor of Surabaya, it covers the entire Sihong area. Therefore, in the past two years, on the one hand, the Loucang Army has shown its troops, and on the other hand, it has continued to expand the barracks.
Today, there are four barracks in the entire Sihong area.
In addition to the base camp of Loucang, there are also the camp of Qixia, the camp of Daze Township, and the camp of the confluence of Suishui and Tang River.
There were 800 soldiers and horses stationed in each of the three barracks, and 2,400 men were attacked. In the base camp of Loucang, there were 1,600 people left.
Compared with. 1,600 people in the base camp of the building. It is the elite of the old camp.
There were five hundred cavalry and ten chariots. Thousands of infantry troops. Some of them were veterans who had fought with Liu Kan in northern Xinjiang, and the rest were all drawn from Liu's Grange. These people, who only obeyed Liu Kan, were commanded by Zhong Liwu and Lu Shizhi respectively.
In addition, there were 400 private soldiers in Liu's Grange, all of whom were Liu Kan's personal guards and were directly commanded by Liu Kan.
The construction of the barracks, everything is normal.
When Liu Kan was inspecting the camp, he deliberately observed Han Xin, who was following him. Sixteen-year-old Han Xin's eyes widened, and he seemed to be full of curiosity about everything in the barracks. Occasionally, the questions asked are also very constructive.
This guy may really be born for war.
When Liu Kan thought of this, he couldn't help but look forward to it a little more. If the world is really turbulent, this guy is enough to take charge of me alone.
At noon, Liu Kan had lunch in the barracks.
Qin Shi used to have only two meals a day. One lunch in the afternoon and one meal in the evening.
Most of the ordinary people in the barn maintain this habit. But in the barracks, because Liu Kan was extremely strict with the drill place, the meals became three meals. This allows the soldiers to have sufficient physical strength and complete the hard training every day.
Again, this is one of the reasons why the old camp can be quickly filled.
After inspecting the barracks, Liu Kan and Guan Ying Zhong Liwu talked alone for a while, and then got on their horses and returned to the city. Although the weather is still very cold, the willows on the riverside have shown a touch of green. The spring in the building comes a little earlier than in the north. On the fourth or ninth day, there are a few ducks on the river, playing happily in the water, so that people can feel that the pace of spring is approaching.
"Three or two peach blossoms outside the bamboo, the prophet of the plumbing duck in the spring river...... Kiko, what are you remembering? ”
Liu Kan turned around slightly on the horse, and now Sima Xi took out a wooden board covered with white paper from the bag on the horse's back, and then took out a graphite pen and wrote something quickly on the white paper.
Hearing Liu Kan's question, Sima Xi raised his head and said, "The master's poem just now is quite out of rhythm, but it has a different taste...... Jia Zuo said the day before yesterday that he wanted me to pay more attention to my master's articles. He liked the thousand-character essay made by his master so much that he asked me to memorize it at all times.
Master. It seems that there is still a follow-up to your sentence, so why not recite it together? ”
This guy looks like a scrivener.
Sima Xi studied with Zhang Cang in his early years, and later studied with Cheng Miao, which can be said to be a talent among the younger generation of Loucang.
Liu Kan smiled: "This is not me doing poetry. Just seeing the scenery in front of me, I felt ......."
"Whose poetry is that?"
"This ......"
Liu Kan didn't know how to answer for a while. After all, the person who did this poetry was Su Shi, the great writer Su Shi Dongpo more than a thousand years later.
But you and Sima Xi talked about Su Dongpo, how could he know? "Artemisia is full of short reed buds, just when the puffer fish wants to be on it!" After Liu Kan chanted the last two sentences, he no longer paid attention to Sima Xi, turned his head to Han Xin and said, "Letter, look at the scenery." But spring has come...... What's the year-plus, what have you gained and learned? ”
Han Xin was about to speak. Suddenly, in the distance, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in a hurry.
Looking up, I saw that from the direction of Loucang Town, several horses galloped wildly, and in the blink of an eye, they came to Liu Kandi's horse.
On the back of the war horse running at the front, it was Xue Ou who was sitting.
He reined in his horse, turned over and jumped down, knelt down on one knee and said, "Captain, there is a guest in the mansion who is visiting." Madame ordered the villain to come and asked the lieutenant to go back immediately. ”
"There's a guest in the house? Who? ”
Xue Ou shook his head and said, "The villain doesn't know...... However, Master Cao seems to know each other. There are two people, a man and a woman, the man is about thirty or forty years old, and the woman is about seven or eight years old. ”
Is it still an old man and a young man?
Liu Kan couldn't help but feel puzzled, he really couldn't remember who it would be.
At the moment, he urged the red rabbit horse, "Han Xin, Sima Xi, you two go home with Xue Ou." I'll go first, and don't have any more complications on the way. ”
Let's talk about it. Whip your horse and gallop away.
"Brother Xue, what kind of person is here, and you actually let Madame rush to find the captain to go back?"
Xue Ou shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know. But listening to the accent, it seems to be a local, as if it is from Pei County...... Faith, let's go back sooner. ”
Han Xin nodded and waited for Xue Ou to get on the horse. Ride with him.
Sima Xi wrote down Liu Kan's poem just now. At the check-in place, Liu Kan's name was written.
"Letter. Wait for me! ”
He put away the bookboard and urged the horse to chase after him. The group beat their horses like flies and headed towards the building.
Liu Kan returned to the warehouse and dismounted outside the mansion gate.
Before he could walk up the steps, he saw Zhou Chang coming in a hurry.
Originally, Zhou Chang had already packed up his salutes and was ready to leave for Jiangyang with the ascetics. But due to Liu Ju's marriage, he stayed for the time being, preparing to wait for Liu Ju's wedding wine to go to Jiangyang.
I saw him, in a hurry.
intervened in front of Liu Kan and saluted, and then without waiting for Liu Kan to speak, he stammered: "Captain, I heard, I heard, I heard...... Lao Xiao is here? ”
"Old Xiao?"
Liu Kan and Zhou Chang walked into the door side by side and asked suspiciously.
"It's Mr. Xiao, Xiao He!"
"Xiao He?"
Hearing this name, Liu Kan couldn't help but be stunned. He stopped and said strangely: "Isn't he on an errand in Pei County, what are you doing here?" ”
It's no wonder that Liu Kan was so surprised.
After careful calculation, he and Xiao He have not seen each other for many years.
Since Liu Kan served as Lou Cangling, although he wanted to trouble Xiao He a few times, he was cleverly avoided by Xiao He.
After a long time, Liu Kan's desire for Xiao He does not seem to be as strong as it was at the beginning, and the hostility has decreased a lot.
It's just that he can't figure out why Xiao He came to him.
In the past, this guy hid as far away as he could, but why did he take the initiative to find him this time? Zhou Chang didn't know the specific situation, and if it weren't for Cao Shen sending someone to inform him, he wouldn't even know that Xiao He was coming. Following Liu Kan, the two went straight to the hall. Before he could enter the living room, he heard a cry coming from inside. Liu Kan was stunned again! This cry turned out to be from Lu.
Striding into the hall.
I saw that there were many people in the hall.
Lu Wen and his wife, as well as Lu Shizhi, were comforting Lu, and Cao Shen Kuaiche sat on the side with frowns, saying nothing.
In the guest seat, Xiao He had already stood up.
Haven't seen it in years. This Mr. Xiao looks a little older than he did at the beginning, and his head is white, and his temperament is more calm.
Beside Xiao He, there was a girl in a green linen cloth.
is seven or eight years old, six feet tall, compared to girls of the same age. Half a head higher.
The little girl's face was not dry with tears, she was holding a piece of glutinous rice cake in her hand, half of her body was hiding behind Xiao He, and she looked at Liu Kan timidly.
"Ah Kan, sister, sister she...... Something happened! ”
When Lu saw Liu Kan coming in, as if he had found the backbone of the heart all of a sudden, he ran forward crying and plunged into Liu Kan's arms.
Liu Kan didn't react. Puzzled, he asked, "Who had an accident?" ”
"Brother-in-law, it's the eldest sister who has an accident!"
Seeing that Lu was crying, Lu Shizhi stepped forward and said, "Mr. Xiao is here to report the news." Three days ago, the eldest sister was arrested by the government. ”
"Pheasant?"
Liu Kan understood a little, subconsciously hugged Lu tightly, and looked at Xiao He.
"Xiao He has seen Du Wei!"
Xiao He hurriedly stepped forward and saluted. At this time and at that time, Liu Kan is very different from before. The Captain of Surabaya, a member of the two thousand stones, and a twelfth-level civil lord, even if Li let him go, he must pay tribute obediently. Not to mention. Xiao He is just the magistrate of Pei County.
"What's going on? Why did the government arrest a pheasant? ”
Liu Kan asked in a deep voice, his eyes burning, staring at Xiao He.
Xiao He said: "Duwei, the situation is like this...... A few days ago, Li County Ling received a report from Qi County, saying that when the three counties were plotting rebellion, Liu Ji's eldest son Liu Fei had a close relationship with Kong Xi, the leader of an anti-thief group in Qi County, and was in turmoil in the three counties. Get involved.
Lieutenant, you also know that that incident is widely implicated, and now there is Shangqing Meng Yi sitting in Pingyang to supervise this matter.
Therefore, the county order ordered someone to arrest Liu Jimanmen. As Liu Ji's wife, Ah Pheasant was naturally not spared and was also arrested. ”
As he spoke, Xiao He pulled the girl over on the day of the accident. She happened to be away from home, with her uncle. Play at the butcher's house. As soon as her uncle heard about this, he immediately sent the girl to me and slipped away by himself. Ah Pheasant had told me before the accident that if something happened to her family, let me send Yuan here......"
Lu Wen's wife also ran over, "Ah Kan, please save Ah Pheasant." A pheasant has a hard life, but he has such a man...... It's a pity that she is still pregnant and has been arrested in prison, how can she be good? Ah Kan, you are also an official of the imperial court, there must be a way, isn't it? ”
Liu Kan's cheeks twitched, and his brows furrowed.
At this time, Xiao He gently pulled Liu Yuan.
The little girl came up quite obediently, pulled Liu Kan's sleeve, and said with tears in her eyes: "Uncle, save my mother......"
For some reason, Liu Kan looked at this little girl, and felt a throbbing in his heart.
I can't say what the reason is, but I instinctively feel kind. He let go of Lu, squatted down, hugged Liu Yuan, and gently stroked the jet-black show.
This matter is really not easy to do!
Involved in rebellion, the lightest is also a crime of razing the three tribes.
"What about Liu Ji? Where is it now? ”
Xiao He said: "According to the itinerary, Liu Ji should be on his way home now. The county order has sent people out to prepare to arrest Liu Ji on the road. But there is no news yet...... Duwei, that's roughly the case, I also know that Liu Ji's incident this time is really not small, and it is very difficult to exonerate him. I'll leave the child with you first, and I'll go back right away to see if I can find a way.
Without further ado, I'll take my leave! ”
"Ah Kan!"
Lu looked at Liu Kan pleadingly and pulled his arm.
"Mr. Xiao!"
Liu Kan stopped Xiao He, and he pondered for a moment, "This matter should be considered in the long run." You take a break in the dwelling for a while, and then I can figure it out...... It's not early, so let's go to Pei County with you early tomorrow morning...... Shi Zhi, you take Mr. Xiao down to rest. Father and mother don't worry, I will try to excuse Sister Pheasant. Ah, you take Yuan'er to wash up, change clothes, and let her eat something first and sleep well. I guess Yuan'er is also frightened these days...... Don't worry, do your own thing. ”
Lu and the others also knew that if this kind of thing happened, it would not be solved all at once.
So, according to Liu Kan's instructions, they dispersed.
Xiao He stayed, and Liu Kan took him and Cao Shen Kuaiche into the study, and sat down as guests.
Liu Kan asked: "Mr. Xiao, how old is Liu Fei, how can a good person get involved with the thief...... Also, the journey from Pei County to Qi County is not too far. How could Liu Fei run away to Qi County, and then get entangled with those guys? "This matter ......" Xiao He sighed and shook his head with a wry smile.
"Duwei, don't you know Liu Ji's virtue? Although it has converged a little in the past two years, it is ...... Liu Fei is the child of Liu Ji and the Cao family in his early years. After Cao's death, Liu Ji didn't care about Liu Fei, and gradually his temperament became wild, and he looked like he was like a child.
Liu Ji didn't care about the kid, but as a result, Liu Fei was idle in Pei County all day long and got acquainted with some guys who were not careful.
Later, he got into gambling and owed a lot of debt. A few months ago, he suddenly ran away, and later heard that he was haunted in Qi County. Before Liu Ji escorted the prisoners to Lishan a few years ago, I privately reminded Liu Ji ...... Unexpectedly, something happened
Xiao He told Liu Kan everything he knew.
After Liu Kan heard this, his brows locked together.
After a long time, he got up and first asked Cao Shen to take Xiao He to rest, then wandered in the study for a while, and suddenly said to Kui Che: "Old Kui, please go and find Daozi...... And he said, I have important matters to counsel with him. ”
