Chapter 21: Seeking the Good Wood and Returning to the Holy Crowd (1)

【First Update】

The Kansai Han's song is vigorous and powerful, but there is no tactfulness, and there is no rhythm, but Kumamoto listens quietly.

Slowly chewing the words 'the mountains are like the sea, the remnant sun is like blood', looking at the thousands of miles of green in front of him, like the blood remnant sun, until the sunset enters the mountain, the red glow in the sky gradually fades, Kumamoto turned around, beckoned the soldier who sang the song and asked, "Who did this work?" ”

"Back to the words of the handsome, the villain doesn't know. But I've heard people sing it before, and I think it's good, so I learned it. This song has been sung in the Western Army for many years. ”

"Dashuai." Huang Shang interjected on the side, "Huang Shang knows the origin of the lyrics of this song. ”

Kumamoto turned his head and looked at Huang Shang in surprise: "Oh, Mian Zhong is really broad. ”

"It's not that Huang Shang is broad, but that there are many people who know the Tao." Huang Sheng pointed back to one of the group of generals behind him, "Dashuai asked him what he knew." ”

When Kumamoto looked at the man, he was even more surprised: "Thoughtful? You know, "

Zhou Quan saluted: "If you go back to the big handsome, the villain does know the way." ”

A big face with a beard is almost no different in a group of rude military schools, and it is even difficult to distinguish, but the iron hook on his right hand makes Kumamoto know this person thoroughly.

was originally a pawn in the Western Army, but later left the army due to disability and joined Han Gang's men. Later, he was promoted by Han Gang to make and experiment with spaceships, and then because of his meritorious service, he was the envy of many old companions. Zhou Quan has been in the ordnance prison for many years, and there is no shortage of hard work, and after the establishment of the Shenji Battalion, he was transferred to the Shenji Battalion as a commander.

The ordinary commander of the forbidden army is at most a miscellaneous military attache who has borrowed three shifts and has not entered the stream, and this is also the commander of the horse army in the upper forbidden army in Beijing. And the commanders of the Shenji Battalion, each of them is a third-class envoy with a grade, the commander of the Tianwu Army, and they do not necessarily have a rank.

And the command of the Shenji Battalion led by Zhou Quan did not live up to the special status given by the imperial court. In a quarter of an hour's effort, he blew up the dangerous Shimen Pass, and the first effort to go south, Zhou Quan and his command were decided.

Kumamoto frowned, but he didn't ask thoughtfully, but turned his head and asked Zhao Long, "Zhao Long, do you know?" ”

Zhao Long responded: "The last general will know the way." ”

Kumamoto turned his face and said to Huang Shang: "But it has something to do with Han Xianggong?" ”

Huang Sheng smiled slightly: "Da Shuai is really clever!" ”

"Where's the ingenuity." Kumamoto shook his head. When Zhao Long and Han Gang intersected at the end of Weimo, Huang Shang was Han Gang's staff, and Zhou Quan was Han Gang's family.

"Thoughtful." Kumamoto nodded again and asked thoughtfully: "This poem is Han Xianggong's handwriting?" ”

Zhou Quan shook his head, "Hui Dashuai, this poem is not written by Xianggong." At that time, Wang Shumi had just taken Xizhou Didao and was ordered to return to Beijing, and Han Xianggong presided over the official affairs of Xihe Road, and all states and counties traveled all over the country. Xianggong does things, that is very fast, at most an hour a day, when he has nothing to do, he loves to play in the mountains and rivers. The villain followed Xianggong and found the lyrics of this song on a mountain wall in Lintao. Because it is written in ink, the handwriting is no longer legible, and it is not easy for the prince to distinguish it, but the payment is gone, and I don't know who wrote it. ”

Kumamoto stayed for a long time, and suddenly Ha Luha laughed, "It looks like the roadside again?" ”

Zhou Quan was a little flustered, "Ah, yes." ”

"Mian Zhong, do you believe it?" Kumamoto asked Huang Shang with a smile.

"Xianggong said so, how can Huang Shang not believe it?"

Kumamoto shook his head again and again, Han Gang's medical path was to fall in the broken temple on the side of the road and was saved by the medicine king. At the beginning, a small poem in the West Taiyi Palace, because of the sorrow of leaving people, was known as the ancestor of autumn thoughts, but because the author was unknown, it was spread. Han Gang was also rumored to be the author, and then there were rumors that Han Gang looked at it on the side of the road and wrote it on the wall of the West Taiyi Palace. Not to mention whether Han Gang can write it or not, this roadside view is really remarkable.

"Zhou Quan, what else did your father-in-law say?"

"When Xianggong found a craftsman to engrave the lettering, he also said that such a masterpiece, how could it not be passed on to future generations?"

Kumamoto asked Huang Shang again: "Mian Zhong, what do you think?" ”

"The words used in this song "Remembering Qin'e" are not the tone of today's people."

This poem, the literary style is not easy to say, the benevolent see the benevolent, and the wise see the wise. The wording is completely out of line with today's style, although Huang Shang once guessed whether it was made by Han Gang, but after reading the whole article, he denied it again. Han Gang doesn't like words, Huang Shang has been a staff member for many years, how can he not know the way? And Han Gang's own lack of literary talent is also a fact. Even if it is occasional, there will be no sentences that do not fit the tone of today's people.

Kumamoto was puzzled, "The mountains are like the sea, and the remnants of the sun are like blood...... The desert is lonely and the smoke is straight, and the sun sets on the long river, which is the weather of the Tang people. It is indeed not the work of today. ”

Zhao Long looked at Kumamoto's frowning and thoughtful appearance, and shook his head incomprehensibly, for a soldier like him, this poem is only pure appreciation. In addition to the eighteen touches, it is still such a song and lyrics, and the singing is refreshing.

A song "Remembering Qin'e" is just a small episode after the war. Perhaps in the future literati writing, a conversation at this time is far more worthy of recording than the fortress that has just been captured, but for the person concerned, nothing is more important than the outcome of the battle.

Shortly after it was completely dark, the men and horses who had been sent to chase down the defeated enemy returned.

After the official army took Shimen Pass, the remaining Wumeng barbarians fled to the rear, and Zhao Long sent the Fan soldiers from Xihe Road to chase after them. Although the barbarians of the Wumeng tribe are all familiar with the roads and are better at running in the mountains, the soldiers who can even ride horses in the mountains will not be far behind.

Fleeing on the five-foot road, the brutes crowded and trampled on each other, and most of them were pushed down and trampled by those behind them, or their necks were cut off by a steel knife before they could even play to the mountain terrain they were good at.

The soldiers who came back gave the result of beheading thousand-level. The work of cleaning up the battlefield was handed over to the barbarians who had been watching them.

The ten-mile bloody road after the Shimen Pass, this is the end of the Wumeng army.

In the next few days, the officers and troops continued their march to the south after a short rest, and the task of clearing up the remnants of the enemy was given to the barbarian army, among which the Nanguang and Mahu divisions were the most diligent.

The Wumeng tribe is a large tribe, wearing felt and saber to live in a fence, do not like farming, more animal husbandry, its people are fierce, good at fighting, from Ma Hunan to all the tribes are afraid of it. A meadow on the Umeng Mountains is the center of the tribe, and then a branch is distributed over an area of hundreds of miles.

The Nanguang Department and the Mahu Department are the same as the Shimen Fan Department, the roads are the most familiar, and the grievances are also the most, they led the official army and foreign departments to expose all the old bottoms of the Wumeng Department.

The main force of the Wumeng Department was completely lost at the stone gate, and the remaining troops had no ability to resist at all.

And with the support of the officials and troops behind them, after the barbarian troops have confidence, their morale is even higher, and the soldiers who originally saw the Wumeng Department were immediately three points shorter than the two departments of Nanguang and Mahu, but now they are arrogant, and the strength of five or six points can play a level of twelve points.

This is the case in the war of cold weapons, and the level of morale determines the victory or defeat of the war to a great extent. After the fiasco of the Wumeng Department, the people were panicked, the patriarchs, elders and other leaders who could gather the hearts of the people were all killed in battle, and the morale was also exhausted.

When the battle of Shimen and Fan was settled, the reinforcements promised by Dali had not yet arrived, and the distribution of spoils on the side of the Emperor and Song Dynasty had ended.

The two tribes of Nanguang and Mahu received the land they had dreamed of for a long time, and the rest of the Nanyi tribes received the population of the Wumeng tribe, and as for the goods, all of them went to the official army.

The Wumeng Department occupies the main road into Yunnan, looking inconspicuous, in fact, the family is rich, and the weapons equipped for the clansmen are far better than the surrounding departments - this is also the reason why the Wumeng Department can become the head of the Shimen Fan Department, and the dividends obtained from the property of the Wumeng Department, few officers and soldiers who participated in the war are not satisfied with the harvest this time.

With a very small price, it was exchanged for a huge harvest, with the goods worth half a year in his arms, eating tender beef and horse meat every day, the faces of thousands of officers and soldiers were not full of joy and greed, this time, everyone was thinking about the good of Dali.

With the intention of wine, walking through the piles of bonfires in the camp, from the barbarians who stood up to salute, Zhao Long also saw the same joy and greed.

Zhao Long hid his disdain and sneer in his heart, this first battle was to let these barbarians pick up cheap, but the next time, there will not be so much cheap for them to pick up.

If you want benefits again, you have to exchange your life.

Zhao Long looked at the dark sky in the south, the color of Dali Kingdom, he had to use those barbarians to test the water first.

……………………

The good news from the southwest arrived in Beijing ten days later.

Tens of thousands of beheadings did not move the people of Beijing. In the capital, I was already numb to such a victory.

Now the most talked about among the people of the capital is Gao Ji, who scored five goals in a ball game the day before. The rest of the topic was occupied by the good news of the son of the palace raised by the royal horse Fuguang, who won three battles and three victories on the 1,500-step track.

Moreover, after the opening of the Beijing-Si Railway, the price of commercial goods from the south dropped by more than 10%, including cotton cloth produced in the south of the Yangtze River, which made the people of Beijing excited, but the price of grain did not change, so it was not as shocking as the news of Keju and horse racing.

As for the court, of course, it is the court push that is getting closer and closer that occupies all the topic space. Even if the official army passed this battle and attacked the border of Dali in one fell swoop, it was just a few plain praises, no sacrifice to the Taimiao, and no congratulations from the ministers, but the officials who were sent to check the head and verify the authenticity of their merits were sent out early.
