What could he do? Don't let Li Qianyue go? Let Painter Zheng wait? The answer to which is more important, children's personal affairs or military affairs, is self-explanatory.

He could only say: "I have some things here that I am in a hurry to deal with, and I will have to deal with them when I am done......"

Nina laughed, "Where did you have a time to deal with it?" This one and that were dealt with, that one and a third one were disposed of. Forget it, Xiaoyue, let's go back, don't delay General Wei. ”

Wei Changfeng had nothing to say for a while, so he could only watch Nina and Li Qianyue slowly walk away. Seeing that the two of them were approaching their tent, they saw Bai Qi hurrying over, standing beside Li Qianyue and Nina and talking anxiously, and raised his hand to say hello to Wei Changfeng as he spoke.

Li Qianyue and Nina nodded and talked to Bai Qi.

Wei Changfeng also waved his hand and slowly returned to the tent.

Bai Qi was ordered to protect Nina and the princess, so it was natural that he would often communicate with them, which was normal. Now Bai Qi has to protect Nina and the prince while directing the construction of the ferry, and he really has no time to chat with himself, which is more understandable. It's just that he still has some ...... in his heart

He almost crashed into Master Zheng.

Wei Changfeng was certainly in a state of mind, and Master Zheng seemed to be in a daze, his eyes staring at the curtain as if Nina and Li Qianyue were still there. Seeing Wei Changfeng coming to him, he came back to his senses and suddenly said: "General Wei, I, I am willing to stay in the army and decompose this painting!" ”

Wei Changfeng was overjoyed, although watching Painter Zheng change his mind was most likely the reason for the big rise in color, but the army was heavily guarded, Nina and Li Qianyue had both the prince watching and Bai Qi taking care of him, even if this Painter Zheng was bold, he would not succeed. So he didn't say anything, nodded and said, "This is great, I'll arrange a camp for you." ”

This night, Wei Changfeng was really busy and didn't have time to find Li Qianyue. Although the ferry was completed on time, the follow-up matters were very complicated, and it was necessary to arrange the queuing order of each department, to sort out and receive the rafts floating down the upper stream, to check the supplies, and to prepare for the raft of his own team.

Early the next morning, there was a commotion at the ferry. Almost all of them have red threads in their eyes. The most I slept that night was two hours, but the preparation of the raft was all going well. Although some rafts were of poor quality due to the rush of work, most of them were in working fine and these rafts were sufficient for the needs of the army.

Batches of people and supplies were loaded onto rafts, untied and drifted downstream. The water period of the Liao River at this time is near the end, the water surface is still very wide, the water flow is also relatively urgent, but there is no big Lang whirlpool, and the Liao River has very few obstacles, now the diversion place is the plain, when there is no water, it is a horse flat river, when there is water, it is the wind is calm and quiet, it is suitable for drifting along the water. The entire river was covered with rafts from time to time.

When the raft was made before, everyone was busy to death, but now on the raft, it is relaxed, anyway, there is nothing to do on the water, and it is impossible to walk casually, so it will not take long, the river is full of laughter, compared with the previous march, this march is the most interesting, it is said to be a rapid march, but there is no need to move a step, and the river is gently shaken, the breeze blows, extremely comfortable. Some of the soldiers were napping, some were joking.

On the shore, a detachment of cavalry swept by. It was a small army of Donghu. Previously, they went out day and night, constantly harassing the Han army, and it is estimated that they planned to plan to constantly harass the Han army when they were marching, but the way the Han army marched this time surprised them, and they could only watch from afar on the shore.

Ma Yong stood on the raft, looked at the Donghu cavalry on the shore and smiled: "Hey, why don't you go back to defend quickly?" Want to follow us? He laughed loudly.

As if hearing his words, the Donghu cavalry suddenly stopped, turned their horses and left. Obviously, they also know very well that there is no way to stop in such a situation, so they can only go back to defense.

Wei Changfeng was resting on the raft. He sat quietly with his eyes slightly closed. I was really tired yesterday, and although I can't sleep now, I have to take a break because I will regret it when I can't rest.

Near the left, a soldier on a raft suddenly sang loudly: "Sad songs can be used as weeping, and distant looks can be used as angelica." I miss my hometown and am depressed. If you want to return home, there is no one to cross the river. The mind can't speak, the wheels in the intestines turn ......" The song is desolate and rough.

Wei Changfeng's heart suddenly surged with a sour feeling.

Chang'an, Chang'an!

His home is in Chang'an, he has been away from home for a long time, and his mother lives alone, but he doesn't know how his body is?

He suddenly wanted to scold himself. It's been so long, and I haven't written a letter to my mother! Yes, it is true that military affairs are busy, but it is not so busy that there is no time to write a letter, not to mention that after such a long time, there should always be a little bit of leisure.

He sighed and decided that as soon as he went ashore, he would write a letter to his mother whenever he had the chance.

(2) He was sighing to himself, and a crisp female voice suddenly sang: "Jiangnan can pick lotus, lotus leaves He Tiantian." Fish play among lotus leaves. Fish play lotus leaf east, fish play lotus leaf west, fish play lotus leaf south, fish play lotus leaf north. "The song is crisp and tactful, like a bird flapping its wings, cheerful and lively.

The singing fell, and the whole river was cheering and cheering one after another.

Wei Changfeng smiled. He didn't expect Li Qianyue to have such a talent, he couldn't help but look at Li Qianyue, but found that there was a raft between his raft and Li Qianyue's raft, although they were very close to each other and heard each other, but they just couldn't see people.

The cheers just stopped, only to hear a charming and bewitching voice sounded, singing a strange song, this song vibrated and trembled, there are many guttural turns, and there are many tongue-curled pronunciations, as soon as you hear it, you know that it is a Donghu folk song, if according to the song, it is very bold, but it is sung in Nina's sweet voice, but it has a unique flavor.

As soon as the singing fell, the applause also sounded one after another, but it was much less than the applause of Li Qianyuege, one was that the Han soldiers could not understand, and the other was that there were disputes with Donghu for many years, and some soldiers did not like it when they heard Donghu songs.

As soon as Nina finished singing, she heard a broken gong-like voice singing loudly: "Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island." My Fair Lady, Gentleman. Jagged wattles, left and right flowing. My Fair Lady, I covet it. I can't ask for it, but I can't think about it. Leisurely, tossing and turning. Jagged wattle, left ......"

The song was not finished, because the river was already full of laughter and scolding, and some soldiers almost fell into the water with laughter. This voice, I'm afraid that even the fish will have to be scared away.

Wei Changfeng smiled and looked at the beginning of the voice, but saw that Painter Zheng's face was flushed and he was angry. It turned out that Master Zheng thought that he could live near the two beauties, take the opportunity to get closer to the beauties, and even repeat the old tricks, and also draw these two beauties, but he didn't think that Wei Changfeng would arrange his tent far away from Nina and Li Qianyue, and he didn't have a chance to kiss and two beauties this night. Staying on the raft, but not on the same raft with the two beauties, he was in a hurry and had nothing to do, at this time he saw the two singing, and in a hurry, regardless of whether he could sing, he also sang, but the result was very unexpected.

Nina and Li Qianyue were also laughing, Li Qianyue barely stopped laughing, and asked Nina: "Sister Nina, what does the song you just sang mean?" ”

Nina replied: "This song is to lament the disunity of the Donghu people. The meaning of the lyrics is: A tree is divided into ten branches, and the Hu people in the world are one family. If everyone works together, horses can be herded everywhere in the world. ”

Li Qianyue heard that this song was somewhat contrary to the intentions of the Han people, so she didn't dare to ask deeply, so she changed the topic and asked, "Are you Donghu people of the same clan as other Hu people?" ”

Nina smiled: "Actually, there is no Donghu. We are called this by you Han people. ”

Li Qianyue was surprised and asked, "Sister Nina, can you tell me about it?" ”

When Nina saw that the boat was fine, she took it as a pastime to chat, so she talked slowly.

(Small note: Most of what Nina and Wang Gonggong said below is real history, and some of them are the author's interpretation, such as Donghu actually died at the hands of the Xiongnu, and there was no large-scale war with the Eastern Han Dynasty.) Scholars don't have to dig deeper. In the northeastern part of the Han Empire, there were many tribes, each with its own name and size, but eventually united, and the Han people saw that these people called themselves Hu people, so they collectively called them "Donghu" after their places. From generation to generation, the Donghu people also recognize this name.

Li Qianyue listened to Nina talk about the origin of Donghu, and couldn't help a question anymore, and asked, "Sister Nina, what are you rebelling for?" Just stay in the big han, isn't it? ”

Nina smiled bitterly and replied, "Where is the rebellion?" In fact, this was originally our Donghu place, but the Han people occupied it, and now, we have to fight again. ”

Li Qianyue didn't know the twists and turns in the middle, and she couldn't catch it for a while.

Another male duck on the side sounded: "Miss Li, the matter here is actually full of complicated things. ”

"The prince knows the way?" Li Qianyue was a little surprised.

Wang Gonggong smiled: "I am in the palace, familiar with history books, and now I am fighting with Donghu, how can I not read these histories?" ”

Li Qianyue was overjoyed, but she didn't expect this princess who didn't seem to know anything to have such knowledge, and hurriedly said, "Would you like to ask the prince to talk about it?" Then he added: "This is not a palace, and the prince does not have to be obscure." She was afraid that the prince would have an official tone, so she would delete the Spring and Autumn Period and only talk about what the emperor likes to hear.

The princess smiled and said, "Princess Nina is here, I want to tell nonsense, can she agree?" ”

Nina smiled and replied lightly: "I also want to hear what the Han people think of this grievance." ”

The prince heard Nina say this, and he was even more deserved, in the army, he has always been openly respected, secretly despised, but he didn't think that he could raise his eyebrows today. He coughed and spoke slowly.
