The sound of whimpering mustaches echoed over the grassland. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At night, the sporadic firelight reflected the Shentu Ze Muyuan. The sound of the beard was sad and desolate, and people couldn't help but feel desolate. There was a faint singing voice, floating from afar, which only made people cry......

Cao Peng was in a very bad mood and walked out of the military tent in his clothes.

He is already in good health, but for various reasons, he still can't afford to be sick.

After coming to the grassland for many days, consultations between all parties have also begun. The people led by Liu Guang consulted with Hu Chuquan either in the open or in the dark, while Tian Yu secretly contacted the commanders of the Southern Xiongnu tribes. Although they are in the same mission, they are in different positions. What Liu Guang wants to do, Tian Yu will inevitably oppose it; And what Tian Yu insisted on must be Liu Guang's denial.

However, these things have nothing to do with Cao Peng.

Cao Peng's envoy this time has another task, that is, to find Cai Yong's daughter, Cai Yan.

But in the vast grassland Gobi, there are hundreds or even thousands of tribes scattered...... Not to mention that on the vast Xianbei prairie, there are countless Hu tribes. In such a situation, finding a woman is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Cai Yan was taken away by the Hu people at the beginning, and God knows where he will go.

Maybe died, maybe became a lowly slave girl. She is not a relative of the royal family, at least there are clues to be found. An ordinary woman, mixed in with a large number of captive Han women, who can know her identity?

Cao Peng tried to ask some Han women in the Xiongnu tribe, but there were no clues.

I don't know how Cai Wenji was found in history. However, this also shows that Cai Wenji is at least not unknown in the Xiongnu tribe. For this reason, Cao Peng privately ordered people to inquire into many tribes, but there was no news.

"What are they singing?"

Cao Peng turned his head distraughtly and asked.

Han De listened for a moment and said in a low voice: "I didn't do anything at the beginning of my life, and after I was born, Han Zuo declined. The heavens are unkind, and the earth is unkind, so I am at this time. The road is dangerous, and the people are sad together. The smoke and dust cover the wilderness, and the ambition is obedient and righteous. It is not appropriate for me to deal with the vulgar, and who should I sue for evil and humiliation...... After a while, the piano was beaten, and no one knew that his heart was collapsing and dying.

Childe, it seems that who made the poems......"

Today's Cao Peng is not the Cao Peng who was just reborn in the world.

Especially in the past three years, under the supervision of Huang Yueying, his cultural accomplishment has improved rapidly. Although it is impossible to say that there are any poems to endow the talents in the north window, but more or less, you can also appreciate the connotation and implication of some poems.

The singing voice complements the sound of the beard.

The lyrics are very sad, which is in line with the characteristics of Hu Ji.

The Hu Ji is a wind instrument in which the reed leaves are rolled into the shape of a double reed, or a conical pipe, and the head is flattened into a reed, and the reed is mixed into one. Taiping Yulan records: Hu Ji, Hu people roll reed leaves to blow it for fun, so it is called Hu Ji.

Its origin is roughly the turn of the Qin and Han dynasties.

It has long been impossible to find out who the inventor is.

In the Han Dynasty, two kinds of beards appeared. One is the reed pipe separated, made of reeds, and the pipe has three holes in the beard, which is mainly popular in the northern part of the Saibei region, that is, Cao Peng has heard this kind of beard now; The other is that after Zhang Qian passed through the Western Regions, the wooden pipe body, three holes, and reeds were introduced into the Hu Ji, which was popular in the Central Plains.

After the Northern and Southern Dynasties, this kind of mustache was gradually replaced by the seven-hole bamboo basket, and then disappeared in the Central Plains.

Cao Peng is curious that this poem is beautiful, complements the rhythm of the music, and is extremely expressive.

"Who wrote this hymn?"

"Oh...... I'm going to inquire. ”

After a while, Han De hurriedly ran back and said respectfully: "Childe, I have inquired, this is the work of the princess in the tent of King Zuoxian." ”

Princess Zuoxian?

Isn't that Liu Bao's wife!

Cao Peng's heart moved, "Go and inquire, who is the princess of Zuoxian, the Hu people or the Han family, and who is the surname." ”

"Whoa!"

Han De agreed, and hurriedly ran down to arrange the matter.

Cao Peng returned to the military tent, frowning.

There are many women who have such talents, but women who can do good things and integrate music into poetry are probably ......

It's just that Liu Bao, the king of Zuoxian, is probably not easy to deal with.

Cao Peng had seen Liu Bao in the dark, this guy was a young and energetic man. It's about thirty years old, and it's not tall, that is, around 165. But this is in line with the general characteristics of the Huns, it is said that the Huns are not very tall. There are some differences between the Han Dynasty and later generations, and the Han people are generally taller than the Hu people. In later generations, on the contrary, the ethnic minorities, especially those living in the barren areas of northern Cyprus, were higher than the Han people in the Central Plains.

Maybe it's the damn 'great national integration'......

Cao Peng could feel that Liu Bao was a little afraid of Cao Cao, but at the same time a little repulsive.

He seems to be more inclined to the Han family, perhaps because of his 'Liu' surname. During several meetings and alliances, Liu Bao was silent. But from his burning eyes, Cao Peng saw this person's ambition for the Central Plains.

Who is Liu Bao?

Perhaps, in history this man is not very famous.

But he had a son, who was extremely famous......

That is Liu Yuan, the emperor who defeated the Western Jin Dynasty and established the Xiongnu Han State in the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, and was also the first Hu leader to sacrifice a butcher's knife to the Han people. Cao Peng knew Liu Yuan, but he didn't know much about Liu Bao. It's just instinctive, and there is a hint of rejection towards this person. As for the Huchu Spring, it is old...... This person is not enough to make Cao Peng afraid.

In a few days of meeting, Cao Peng had a general understanding of the Southern Xiongnu.

The regime of the Southern Xiongnu had a somewhat triune flavor. Da Dan is the general leader of the tribe, and the left and right virtuous kings are divided and ruled, forming a very complete ruling system. The three cooperate with each other, but at the same time guard against and repel each other, and even between tribes, there are often some small-scale conflicts...... Huchuquan's dominance over the Southern Xiongnu does not seem to be particularly strong. Yu Fuluo left the capital at the beginning, which was enough to make Liu Bao, the king of Zuoxian, a family of his own.

And the right virtuous king went to humility, which was originally a handsome man under the account of Hu Chuquan back then.

Only because he saved the life of Hu Chuquan, and later tried his best to support Hu Chuquan, after Hu Chuquan came to power, he won the position of the right virtuous king. In terms of background, humility is not enough to be compared with Liu Bao. But this man is brave and belligerent, and his reputation is not too bad. Although the population under his command is not as good as Liu Bao and Hu Chuquan, they are all brave and good at fighting, so they have also become the people that Huchuquan relies on very much.

The attitude of humility seems very ambiguous.

He neither communicated too much with Liu Guang, nor did he have any contact with Tian Yu.

On the surface, it seems that Qubei is only loyal to Hu Chuquan. But Cao Peng could feel that Hu Chuquan was also quite wary of going to humility. In short, judging from the current situation, Hu Chuquan, Liu Bao, and Qubei contain each other, which also makes the Southern Xiongnu maintain an extremely stable situation. They sat on the most fertile land in the Hetao, recuperated and recuperated, while eyeing the Central Plains. In the past few years, the Southern Xiongnu have surrendered on the surface, but in fact, they have invaded the Central Plains even more than the central Xianbei of Kebineng. After all, Kebineng is still facing a threat from Yan Liyou.

If......

Just if!

If Cai Yan is the person of Liu Bao, the king of Zuoxian, then will Liu Bao willingly let himself and bring Cai Yan back to the Central Plains?

Anyway, if it were Cao Peng, he would never agree.

Outside the tent, the sound of the hoops gradually stopped, and the singing also stopped.

Shen Tuze, immersed in the silence of the night, everyone was immersed in sleep......

Han De inquired about the news from outside: The princess of King Zuo Xian is a Han person, and it is not clear what her surname is, it is said that when Dong Zhuo was killed and Li Dao Guo Yan made chaos in Guanzhong, Liu Bao led his troops to invade Guanzhong and kidnapped countless Han women. The princess was a Han who was taken captive at that time, first valued by a tribal handsome, and later dedicated to Liu Bao, the king of Zuoxian. Now, the princess gave birth to a son and a daughter, the male name is Adigui, who is about eight years old, and the daughter is named Ameigui, who is only five years old. It is said that this princess lives in a simple house and rarely shows her head on weekdays.

Cao Peng, I have a headache!

The time, place, and events that happened seem to match, and the characters' personalities don't seem to be wrong.

It's just that I don't have a name or a surname, and I'm a little hard to be sure after all.

If you make a mistake, wouldn't you be delaying a big event?

"Childe, it is said that this princess also wrote a few poems, which are widely circulated in the local area.

I asked people to inquire and transcribed the contents of the poems...... Childe may wish to refer to it. ”

"Rong forced me to be a housekeeper and drove me to the end of the world. The clouds and mountains are thousands of miles away, and the wind is thousands of miles away from dust. There are many people who are violent and fierce like insects and snakes, and it is arrogant to control the strings and wear armor. The two beats are overwhelmed, and the will is heartbroken and self-grieved. ”

Two beats?

Cao Peng suddenly remembered that in the poem just now, there was a poem of 'a beat of the piano for a while'.

Nowadays, there are poems of 'two beats of hanging strings'...... Cao Peng hurriedly opened the next article and looked at it by candlelight.

"The Yue Han Kingdom entered Hucheng, and it is better to lose one's family than to have no life...... The wind is mighty and dark, and the camp is dark. Sad and regretful......

I don't think about my homeland day and night, and my temperament is more bitter than me. The country of natural disasters is chaotic and ownerless...... The four beats are miserable.

Yannan Zhengxi wants to send the side heart, and Yanbei returns to Xi to get Hanyin. The geese fly high and are hard to find...... The five beats are cold and cold. ”

Eighteen beats!

Could this be the famous eighteen beats of Hu Ji in later generations?

In Cao Peng's heart, it is almost confirmed that the princess of Zuo Xian, who made this eighteen beats, should be Cai Wenji.

However, this is only conjecture after all, and has not yet been confirmed.

Cao Peng pondered for a moment and said softly: "Han De, early tomorrow morning, you and I will go to King Zuoxian's camp to investigate, see the situation, and then make a decision." ”

Han De said, "Do you want to call the sergeant?" ”

"No, Shi Yuan has been helping the country for the past two days, so don't let him show up.

You and Wang Shuang, as well as four Fei Wei follow. Now although we are in Hudi, I don't believe that anyone can help me. ”

"Humble duty, obey!"

Cao Peng waved his hand and motioned for Han De to go down.

He sat in the tent, picked up a few poems on the desk, and read them again and again by candlelight.

In a large tent about 30 miles away from the embassy station, a woman about twenty-seven or eighteen years old was lying on her side on a couch, gently patting the arm of the girl next to her, chanting folk songs in Xiongnu language, and her eyes were confused.

But I don't know, does anyone in my homeland still remember me?
