"Brother Xuancheng, I know your talent, you will definitely be a general in the future, but now you are just trapped in the abyss, and he will ascend to heaven one day when he meets the master. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "Wang Mai is a little drunk. He saw that Wei Zheng had not been in a good mood these days, as the saying goes, one drink relieves a thousand sorrows, so he accompanied Wei Zheng to drink at night to relieve boredom.

"Lord Ming?" Wei Zheng shook his head, "It's ridiculous that I, Wei Xuancheng, compare myself to Su Qin and Zhang Yi, and I learned the vertical and horizontal technique as a young man." Now he has spent half his life, has reached middle age, and has achieved nothing. That Zheng Changshi laughed at me for being a scholar, and treated me as a knife and pen official, and called and drank. Now I can only take you as a confidant, I have a confidant in life, and I have no regrets in death. Looking back on this life today, I am ashamed of having many wives and children at home! When Duke Wei returns home, I will submit my resignation and go! If you don't do it, don't you go back to your hometown to be a teacher, idle clouds and wild cranes, and teach your children and grandchildren, wouldn't it be happy! Wei Zheng was also drunk, and he even had the idea of resigning.

Wang Maixin said that I asked you to drink tonight to solve your problems, but you can't drink your future prime minister because of this wine. Hurry up and persuade: "There will be a time when the wind and waves will be long, and the clouds will sail into the sea." Brother Xuancheng, why do you have to pity yourself, I heard that Li Shimin, the second prince of the Tang Dynasty, is a famous master, why don't you try to take refuge in him? "In fact, Lao Wei has a bit of a bad temper, he is not very popular among his colleagues, and he is not very pleasing to his boss, and probably only a broad-minded monarch like Li Shimin can tolerate him.

"There will be times when the wind and waves will be long, and the clouds will sail into the sea." Wei Zheng shook his head and read, "Good poem!" You are the real belly with splendid talent. ”

"This poem was not written by me, it was ...... by Li Bai" As soon as Wang Mai said Li Bai's name, he suddenly remembered that Li Bai was not born at this time.

"Li Bai?" Wei Zheng thought for a long time, "It seems that I am really lonely and unheard of, and I don't know that there is such a talented person in the world." As soon as people's negative emotions came up, they didn't even have self-confidence, and Wei Zheng began to doubt himself because he didn't know Li Bai's name.

"Lao Wei, you don't know, this Li Bai is not a famous character," Wang Mai said sorry to Li Bai in his heart, don't blame Shixian you have a spirit in the sky, "He is just a scholar in the south, and he has failed to pass the imperial examination many times, so he made such a poem." The title of this poem is "Difficult to Walk", and I will read it to you:

The gold bottle sake bucket is ten thousand, and the jade plate is shy and ten thousand dollars.

I couldn't eat when I stopped throwing my cup, and I was at a loss when I drew my sword and looked around.

If you want to cross the Yellow River and ice congestion river, you will climb the snow-filled mountains of Taihang.

Idle fishing on the blue river, suddenly take a boat to dream of the sun.

It's hard to walk! It's hard to walk! Many divergent roads, where are you now?

There will be times when the wind and waves will be long, and the clouds will sail into the sea. ”

"Good poetry, good poetry!" Wei Zheng couldn't help but exclaim, "All the previous sentences show a suppressed emotion, and the last sentence is the finishing touch, which makes the artistic conception of the whole poem turn in vain, first suppressed and then raised, which is really a masterpiece for the ages." After speaking, he couldn't wait to take out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and copied the whole poem.

"I wonder where this person is now? If I have the chance, I must get acquainted with this prodigy. Wei Zheng looked at the poem on the paper and said.

"Out to sea."

"Out to sea?" Wei Zheng glared.

"Didn't you see him say that he would sail straight to the sea? I also heard what others said, and I haven't seen Li Bai himself. Wang Mai had no choice but to say indiscriminately, "I only knew this person when I heard others recite this poem." ”

"Does this man have any other good works?" Wei Zheng asked impatiently.

"No, that's all I know." It is enough to spread a poem, if you tell Li Bai's other masterpieces, it is estimated that these literature lovers will not find their own trouble every day and ask about Li Bai's whereabouts! Wang Mai wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with a weak heart.

"That's a shame." Wei Zheng sighed.

"In short, Old Wei, you don't have to sigh all day long. Cheer up, listen to me, go to Chang'an to join Li Shimin, brother, with your talent, you will definitely be able to be promoted and make a fortune, and in the end, you can go down in history. Wang Mai patted Wei Zheng's shoulder and said earnestly.

"Thank you for today's words, your kindness is in my heart." Wei Zheng also thought that Wang Mai was comforting him by letting him take refuge in Li Shimin, "It's just that a good girl is not worthy of a second husband, and a loyal minister does not serve the second master." Although Duke Wei treats me like this, after all, he has the grace of knowing me, how can I, Wei Xuancheng, be that ungrateful person? When Duke Wei returns on the day of triumph, Wei Xuancheng will do his best to assist the Ming Lord. ”

Wang Maixin said, it's good if you're happy. However, this day of Li Mi's triumph may not come, history has long been written, and the Wagang army is doomed to be defeated under Luoyang City.

Unexpectedly, Li Mi was defeated so quickly. At noon the next day after drinking, Wang Mai noticed that there were many more wounded soldiers on the street. When I returned to the Wei Mansion, the mansion was in chaos, and there were people with panicked expressions everywhere.

"Old Wei, what's wrong?" Wang Mai finally found him in Wei Zheng's room. After getting along for a month, Wang Mai found that Wei Zheng's professionalism was simply admirable. Because the residence is very close to the office, most people will go back to their rooms for a lunch break, which is allowed in the house, but Wei Zheng has never been seen to do this, but he didn't expect him to go back to his room today. Wang Mai looked at it, but found that Wei Zheng was packing his luggage, and a bad feeling came to his heart.

"Duke Wei is defeated." Wei Zheng's face was sad, "Hundreds of thousands of troops disappeared in an instant. Kim Yong Shou ordered Wang Bo to quickly pack his bags and evacuate to Hayang with the army. ”

"Defeated." Wang Mai's heart was shocked, "How did you lose?" Although he knew that this moment would come, he did not expect it to come so soon.

Wang Shichong set up an ambush in Beibi Mountain, and found a person who looked and looked like Duke Wei to pretend to be him. The Duke of Wei underestimated the enemy, and did not set up ravines, horses and other fortifications. As soon as the two armies fought, some sergeants hijacked the fake Duke of Wei and said that Duke Wei had been captured alive, which disturbed the hearts of our army. ”

Wang Mai finally understood what it meant to be defeated like a mountain, it was 100,000 people, and it had only been two days since the official battle, and it was gone. He remembered what Chu Yunfei said, that is, tens of thousands of pigs, and the enemy had to catch them for several days. In this respect, even the rout is not as good as a pig. War has its own rules, Li Mi and Wang Shichong have fought dozens of times, and they have won in the front, but the only one that has lost is all of his.

"Fugui ......" Wang Mai suddenly remembered that Fugui was also among these people, and grabbed his arm, "Old Wei, do you know the news of Hussar General Cheng Biting Jin?" After Fugui became Cheng Biting Jin's personal soldier, Wang Mai also went to see him a few times. Cheng Yanjin treats him well, and it can be seen that Fugui also likes the life in the military camp very much, and the last time he saw him, the whole person was stronger than when he first came out.

"I heard that General Cheng was seriously injured yesterday......"

Before Wei Zheng could finish speaking, Wang Mai was dizzy. Even Cheng Biting Jin, a general, was seriously injured, so he was rich and noble......

"Jikai......" Wei Zheng saw that Wang Mai's face was pale and bloodless, so he hurriedly helped him, "Jikai, are you sick?" ”

"I'm fine...... Wang Mai shook his head and told himself to calm down.

"Jikai, since it's okay, you hurry up and pack your bags, it's not far from the time to go." Wei Zheng urged anxiously.

"No, old Wei ......" Wang Mai trembled his lips, "I can't go with you, I'm going to find Cheng Yanjin, my brother Fugui is still a personal soldier under him, I have to make sure he's okay." ”

"Now that the soldiers are in chaos, there are routs everywhere, you are a weak scholar, and you have no power to restrain the chicken, I am afraid that you will die under this Luoyang City before you can find the gold."

"No......" Wang Mai shook his head desperately, "I have to make sure he's okay, Old Wei, you go quickly, don't worry about me." I have to find him, he came out with me, and if anything happens to him, it's me who hurt him......"

"Listen to me......" Wei Zheng looked at Wang Mai's eyes, "Life and death are in the sky, your brother Jiren Tianxiang will be fine." Let's retreat to Heyang first, and then find a way to find out about him. In the midst of the chaos, even if you have three heads and six arms, how can you find a person in this vast sea of people? ”

Wang Mai kept taking deep breaths, trying to calm his mood: "The Wei Gong army is defeated like a mountain, and these generals will be captured by Wang Shichong. The only way now is for me to stay in the city, and as soon as Wang Shichong's army arrives, I will pretend to take refuge in him, and then go to Luoyang City to find out the news. ”

"Never, this is a risk, and a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. You still come to Ha Duong with me, and then make plans. Wei Zheng persuaded with good words.

"Brother Xuancheng, you also know in your heart that even if our army retreats to Heyang, Wang Shichong's army will still arrive, and then we will flee again with Duke Wei. Wandering around, how can I find my brother? Old Wei, I have made up my mind, we are destined to meet again. ”

"That's the case, take care of yourself." Wei Zheng shook his hand tightly, carried his bags and walked out of the house, glanced back at Wang Mai, and finally chose to leave.

Wang Mai closed his eyes and searched hard in his mind for the only bit of historical knowledge, most of which was known from romance novels and historical dramas, and it was estimated that most of them were unreliable.

I don't know how long it took before he let out a long sigh, he hated less when the book was used, and he knew that this was the case, and he should have memorized the "Book of Tang". The only thing that can be determined now is that Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin both took refuge in Wang Shichong, but how did they join Wang Shichong, and when did they take refuge? None of this is known. If Fugui can remember his own words, follow Cheng Yanjin all the way, and luckily did not die in that tragic battle, finding Cheng Yanjin is the most important clue at the moment.

"Fugui, don't die, you must wait for me to find you. Even if I turn the outside of Luoyang City upside down, I must find you. Wang Mai clenched his fists, the weather in September was much cooler, but at this time, his whole body was already soaked with sweat.
