Chapter 37: The fight of the Yin Ping Path
After Chen Lin came out of Jiafu, he stayed in Mianzhu for two more days, but he never saw Xuan Jian again, and on this day Chen Lin was about to pack up and meet Hanzhong County. Suddenly, Huang Yan came in and said that Jia Xu was talking to an old gentleman outside, and it seemed that he was also looking for Chen Lin. The old gentleman looks like a scribe, with a carriage and horses, and must be a big family. Chen Lin was curious, and when he went out, he saw that it was Mr. Ren An, who was chatting happily with Jia Xu at this time.
Chen Lin smiled and hurriedly stepped forward to meet this great sage in Shuzhong, Ren An smiled and said to Chen Lin: "Bozhi, your lord is extraordinary." Jia Xu also respected this old gentleman very much, and hurriedly said that he didn't dare to be. Chen Lin asked: "I don't know what happened to Mr. this time, so I should do my best." Ren An smiled and said: "I heard that Bozhi is going to return to Hanzhong, it just so happens that the old man has a disciple in Zitong County, the old man has nothing to do, and he wants to go to Zitong for a walk, so it is better to go on the road with Bozhi, and there is a good response." ”
When Chen Lin heard this, his feelings were good, this is a good thing, when the time comes, he will have to know a big family again, the more talents in the world, the better, Chen Lin is not afraid of meeting many people. So Ren An and Chen Lin went on the road together, and the old gentleman was also frugal, accompanied by only two guards, several slaves and two carriages. Along the way, the three of them talked very harmoniously, and before they knew it, they passed the Fucheng Pass, and not far east into the mountain col was Zitong County.
Ren An: "I have to escort Bozhi personally, but I'm afraid that Bozhi's trip will be delayed." Chen Lin smiled: "Mr. is serious, it is only three or two days away, and I can get along with Shuzhong Daxian for a few more days, but I am afraid that others will not come, but Bozhi is lucky." The two laughed and ran into Zitong County.
Although the population of Guanghan County is nearly twice that of Hanzhong County, most of them are distributed in the southern counties of Guanghan County. Chen Lin and his entourage of 100 people entered Zitong, which immediately attracted the attention of the guards in the city, and Chen Lin was just about to take out the official document and official seal. But when he saw Ren An coming out of the car, he stood at a stop, and the Zitong County guard, who closed the city gate in a panic, saw it and hurriedly shouted: "It's Mr. Dingzu, open the door, open the door, open the door quickly, and greet the old man." "A respectful look. Chen Lin and Jia Xu were dumbfounded, this Ren An was too powerful, as soon as he appeared in front of the car, the city defender immediately changed his expression.
At this time, Chen Lin and the others really realized the status of Ren An, the old man, in Shuzhong, and Jia Xu repeatedly signaled Chen Lin to treat this old gentleman well. Chen Lin hurriedly stepped forward to support Ren An, and after a while, the guard general quickly rushed out and bowed to Ren An: "Du Xing didn't know that the old gentleman was coming, please forgive the old gentleman." Ren An smiled lightly and called this Duchenne. It turned out that this Du Xing was the family of Ren An's disciple in Zitong, and he was the county lieutenant of Zitong, who happened to go up to the wall to inspect and meet Chen Lin and his cavalry rumbling forward, and hurriedly ordered the door to be closed.
Ren An's disciple in Zitong is called Du Wei, the word Guofu, three or two years younger than Chen Lin. The Du family is the only clan in Zitong County, Ren An said a few words, and suddenly a red horse ran out of the city, and immediately a young man shouted from afar: "Teacher, teacher, Guofu is coming." Seeing this, Ren An turned back to Chen Lin and said, "This is a bad guy." With a smile in his eyes, it seems that this Du Wei has won Ren An's heart.
Na Du was not close to the car, quickly jumped off the horse, and happily knelt down to Ren An, but the speed of the action made Chen Lin stunned, a scholar also has such skills, which is unexpected. Du Wei raised his head and saw that Ren An was supported by a young man with extraordinary spirit, and thought it was Ren An's newly accepted disciple, and said with a smile: "Teacher, this is a new disciple of the teacher?" Du Wei pointed at Chen Lin.
Ren An snorted, then laughed, turned back to Chen Lin and said, "Bozhi, hahaha." Then he turned to Du Wei and said: "This is Lord Taishou of Hanzhong County, and he doesn't have this blessing as a teacher." Chen Lin hurriedly said: "Mr. is a treasure in Shu, and he has no chance." At this time, Jia Xu seized the opportunity to step forward: "The lord and the master are deceased, and the old man is a great sage in Shu, and he is famous all over the world, so it is better for the lord to worship the old man as a teacher, and it is expected that Lord Yang also respects the virtue of the old man." "Jia Xu can't just look at Ren An's talent and learning, but value Ren An's reputation in Shuzhong, if Chen Lin has to worship him as a teacher, it will definitely make it easier for Shuzhong people to accept Chen Lin.
Chen Lin was stunned, but saw that Ren An was also a little expectant, how could Chen Lin not know Jia Xu's intentions, if Yang Ci was alive, of course Chen Lin could not make a teacher, but now that Yang Ci has died for a year, this is not overstepping. So Chen Lin knelt down in front of Ren An: "I don't know if Bozhi is fortunate to listen to Mr.'s teachings?" ”
Ren An's old heart was full of anger, seeing Chen Lin like this, he was very happy, Ren An felt that Chen Lin was smart since he came into contact with Chen Lin, and he had the style of being diligent in government and loving the people, he liked it very much, and now he saw that Chen Lin wanted to worship himself as a teacher, he was very happy, and he laughed again and again. To help Chen Lin up, how could Chen Lin let Ren An do it, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Ren An, Du Wei saw that things had changed so abruptly, and seeing that Ren An was happy, he also hurriedly stepped into the car, and Chen Lin helped Ren An left and right.
Ren An looked left and right, and saw that the two people in front of him were good people, and now they were his own disciples, he was in a good mood, laughed happily, and said, "This is a blessing for the teacher." The three of them were in the car, driving their horses into the city. Du Wei's father is a person with mediocre qualifications, Chen Lin talked to Du Wei, but felt that Du Wei was few and erudite, Du Wei admired Chen Lin's governance in Hanzhong very much, and said that Chen Lin was a person who was truly loyal to the king and loved the people. Thinking that he temporarily worshipped Ren An as a teacher, Chen Lin lived in Zitong for more than a month, and only sent the guards back to Hanzhong to report the news first, so as not to have an accident in the county government, and at the same time Chen Lin also asked Hanzhong to send people to Anyang, Runan, to ask Chen Li to move the whole family to Hanzhong County, and at the same time, Chen Li, the commander of Anyang County in Hanzhong, has been absent for a year, and the main thing is that Chen Lin has not seen his children and the Zhang family very much, and he misses it very much.
A month after Zitong, Zitong City Gate, Chen Lin and his group were about to go on the road, at this time Du Wei went out of the city to see each other, more than a month of getting along, the relationship between the two is increasing day by day, Du Wei always feels that Chen Lin has countless knowledge to let him learn. Therefore, Chen Lin left, and Du Wei was a little reluctant. Chen Lin threw down a sentence of "Sending you a thousand miles must be goodbye in the end" and led the guards to Shu Road, this Shuzhong, I don't know when I will come again.
A group of people rushed for more than 20 days, and finally ran on the Yinping trail, here is the foot of Qi Mountain, to the east is Hanzhong, to the south of the Shu Road into Shu, the north can also cross the Qi Mountain out of Liangzhou, but it is just difficult to go on the wrong road. As soon as he got out of Shu Road and saw the dangerous peak that was no longer a cliff, Zhou Cang exhaled and shouted: "Yinping Trail is too easy to go." Despite the ruggedness of the place, the crowd laughed.
Suddenly, Zhou Cang in front of him raised his hand, which was a unique warning signal of the guards, Huang Yan was shocked, hurriedly protected Chen Lin, and asked in a low voice: "Zhou Cang, what's the matter?" Zhou Cang still didn't speak, and slowly walked forward a few steps forward, and everyone also listened attentively, only to faintly hear a sound of shouting and fighting in front of him. Chen Lin hurriedly ordered: "Zhou Cang went to investigate softly, and the troops were on alert. Zhou Cang urged the horse forward, and after a while, he hurriedly ran back, and said, "Young Master, the two groups of men and horses in front are fighting, and there are more than ten or twenty people on each side who are cavalry. ”
Chen Lin looked at Jia Xu, Jia Xu said: "This is a barren land, the terrain is treacherous, I can't control Hanzhong County, Guanghan County also ignores it, at this time there are cavalry fighting here, cavalry is not conducive to the battle in the mountains, I am afraid that these two groups of people are foreign." Now there are only thirty or forty of them, and it would be okay if the lord came forward and took a look. Chen Lin thought about it, there are eighty guards on horseback, and the other party adds up to only half, I'm afraid of what he will do. So he ordered the cavalry guards to charge, and surrounded the two groups first.
Chen Lin slowly followed, only to see that there were really only more than ten people in these two groups, and there were still a few corpses on the ground, both sides, at this time, a group of cavalry suddenly rushed out of nowhere, surrounded themselves, and stopped on both sides. Chen Lin took a closer look, hey, why did the cavalry on one side look a little familiar, and then looked at the other side obviously a little flustered. Chen Lin shouted loudly: "This official is the Taishou of Hanzhong, who are you waiting for?" Chen Lin looked at the familiar cavalry and listened to Chen Lin's words, and was overjoyed, while the other side suddenly shouted loudly: "Kill out" and rushed straight to Chen Lin.
Chen Lin was taken aback, but just asked, is it necessary to do this, Huang Yan and the others didn't want this, they saw that the cavalry rushed up, and they hedged up without saying a word. Dozens of people dealt with more than a dozen people, and the result can be imagined, Jia Xu hurriedly shouted: "Commander Huang, stay alive." Chen Lin hurriedly ordered: "Huang Yan, capture alive." "You must know that except for Chen Lin's words, even Jia Xu can't command it.
Zhou Cang was about to cut off one of his heads when he heard Chen Lin shouting, he turned the blade sharply, and slammed the back of the knife on the man's face, and immediately fell off the horse full of blood, but he couldn't die. The other group of cavalry was elated and was about to make a move, but was given a gun by the cavalry guards guarding next to him, and one of them hurriedly ordered the troops to stay still.
There was no suspense in the battle, two were captured alive, the others were chopped into pieces, and nine horses were pulled, but the others died. At this time, Chen Lin said to another group of cavalry: "Who are you and why are you here?" I saw the man who looked like a small commander speak: "My lord, we are the cavalry under the command of the former general of the Xiliang Crusade Army, these are all anti-Han cavalry, and we have been chased here along Qishan, fortunately Lord Taishou helped." ”
Chen Lin was taken aback, he ran here from Longxi, and he was still along Qishan, this, there are hundreds of miles, the former general, isn't it Dong Zhuo, oh, no wonder I am familiar with that outfit, it turned out to be Dong Zhuo. Chen Lin asked again, only to know that the current Liangzhou is in a mess, who is against whom, who is against and surrenders, and then again, there are all, the imperial army and the anti-thieves are in a stalemate in Longxi and the anti-thieves, and no one can help anyone. Zhang Wen has been transferred back and replaced by the chariot general Huangfu Song, leading the former general Dong Zhuo in battle.
