PS: A qiē prosperous, eventually extinguished

Volume II Fifty-Six Chapters

In the fifteenth year of Yuanjia, Guo Xu was forty years old.

He is not as strong as before, but he is still tall, thanks to his horse career.

Yao Hong's flesh and blood Guo Chang'an was sixteen years old this year. Even he can see that he is neither like his mother Zhuge Qiao, nor like his father Guo Xu. Only the love of poetry can be understood as being enlightened by Xiaoqiao. Xiao Qiao knows very well that this is the shadow of her father Yao Hong. Among the three children, this one is the most obedient, the most quiet, the most delicate, the face is more like Xue Meier, the personality is faintly Yao Hong reborn, and there is a kind of melancholy tenacity. From the age of fifteen, the matchmaker has stepped through the threshold; As soon as he went out on the street, the girl's forehead revolved around him.

Guo Xu and Xiao Qiao's own son Guo Xi are both fifteen years old, and everyone says that they are out of the same mold as Guo Xu, but they have the shadow of Xiao Qiao on their faces, so they are more handsome than their father. What makes Xiaoqiao most gratifying is that he is not clumsy like Guo Xu, which of course inherits Xiaoqiao's mantle. Guo Xu sadly found that the Western Capital was the same as his own back then, he had a headache when he read, and he was excited when he heard the hammer clanging, and when he chanted in his brother Guo Chang'an's study, he happily helped Guo Xu pick up the hammer, especially like the mist steaming at the moment of quenching.

Among the three children, the most astute and combative is Chen Song's widow Guo Huaisong. Xue Meier's last wish was that he would not follow his father's old path and not go to the battlefield again, but he was so-so in his studies, and he was not good at striking iron, but he liked to mix with the officers and children of the Beifu soldiers, and he was only sixteen years old, and he could already fly on a horse. On horseback there is a mock play with the lance. Guo Xu has already made mental preparations: one day, this child will be on the horse. It's like Chen Song has returned.

Seeing the three children eating at the same table, Guo Xu would have a sense of awe of the way of heaven. Heaven has its own arrangement. And it is difficult for mortals to understand it, otherwise how could there be such three kinds of blood, with such tortuous causes, all gathered under his roof!

Guo Xu and Xiaoqiao later gave birth to five children, three of whom survived, light and one-color girls, none of them were like Guo Xu, a beautiful embryo, and they were still young children at this time. They were much younger than their brothers. Spoiled by his parents and brothers, he is the overlord of the family.

Mid-Autumn Festival in Jiangdong, the weather is still hot, in the evening, he wore a thin white shirt, sat under the tree in the courtyard, Xiaoqiao cut a large plate of melons and fruits for him, he drank wine with the fruit, every bite was very sweet.

Year. Emperor Liu Yilong fell ill, fearing that his son would not be able to control it after his death, so he found an excuse to kill the general Tan Daoji. When the latter was arrested, he threw his turban on the ground and said:

"This is the Great Wall of self-destruction of your family!"

The person whom Guo Xu admired in the army. So far, they are all dead.

On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he dreamed that he was still on the big ship on the way to the Northern Expedition, surrounded by familiar faces. Wake up in the morning. He thought he should go to the river tonight to burn paper. These old chiefs and old brothers can't always rely on knives and lances to steal money underground.

There was a knock on the door.

Guo Changan went to answer the door.

Outside the door was a stranger, and he glanced at the offspring who opened the door. Say with a smile that you are Xiao Chang'an. Guo Changan said that I am, who is Mr. looking for?

The stranger said I was looking for your father Guo Xu.

Guo Changan said, please come in.

At this time, Guo Xu had already walked into the court. He heard the voices of the visitors, and vaguely felt that he had heard them somewhere. When he saw the visitor, he was stunned at first, then wept, and finally shouted to Xiaoqiao to see who was coming, and laughed and hugged the visitor so hard that he almost broke his ribs.

Hu Lv Zheng!

Hu Luzheng is a messenger sent by Tuoba Wei, and his official rank is already Yongzhou Thorn Shi and Huya General, but at this time he has been given the surname Tuoba and Tuoba Zheng. He was blessed, the edges and corners of his face were smoothed, and he was no longer the rough shepherd face, but a sleek and rich official.

When he arrived at the Song court, he was given a banquet by Emperor Liu Yilong, who introduced the minister of civil and military affairs, and he lamented that there were almost no people I knew. Liu Yilong said that General Tuoba came to my Jiangdong for the first time, how could there be an old one? Tuoba Zheng said that I once followed Emperor Taizu Wu of the Gui Dynasty to defeat Yao Qin, and later returned to Guiyang Gongyi Zhenzhen Assassination Shi Moderation, and was familiar with veterans such as Wang Zhenxi, Tan Daoji, and Shen Linzi, and was a brother in life and death with Chen Song and Guo Xu. In fact, I was captured by both of them, and then I followed them.

Liu Yilong pondered for a moment and said that he had not heard the name of the general from the emperor. Tuoba Zheng smiled and said that my name was Hu Luzheng at that time!

Liu Yilong suddenly came to his senses, with joy and sorrow. I am glad that I can still meet my father's generation; The sad thing is that his father and younger brother Liu Yizhen are no longer there, and the veterans of Beifu are even more withered, and Tan Daoji regretted it after he killed him. With tears in his eyes, he said that the emperor mentioned you more than once, and he also lamented that he didn't know your whereabouts.

Hu Lu asked Guo Xu about his whereabouts, and Liu Yilong said that General Guo had been working at home for many years, and the emperor had a will, so he only struck iron, but the official rank was still the same.

The second day after arriving in Jiangdong was the Mid-Autumn Festival, he refused to be accompanied by Song Dynasty officials, asked for the address, and walked to visit Guo Xu.

Guo Xu and Xiaoqiao were overjoyed and sad, remembering the past when they saw the people, recalling the past and recalling the old love, the three of them hugged each other for a long time, hurriedly asked, hurriedly answered, laughed for a while, cried for a while, sighed for a while, and was silent for a while. Guo Xu's three children were watching the excitement on the side, and felt that their parents were particularly unseemly today, and they didn't pay attention to etiquette at all in front of a Hu person, not to mention chattering, they were crazy.

Guo Xu has always felt that Hu Luzheng is dead all these years, and he has had nightmares about hanging a flagpole on his head. Because he couldn't imagine that Tuoba Wei would let go of a Xianbei man who wiped out the country of his in-laws with the Nanren. Hu Luzheng said that you are right, I was indeed almost killed. Soon after I entered the border of the Great Wei Kingdom, I met a patrol, and when they saw that I was coming from the Great Jin Dynasty, they took me to Changsun Song, who knew about me and said that I was treason and wanted to kill me. But at this time, someone spoke for me, do you know who?

Guo Xu said that who could have guessed this!

Hu Luzheng said Do you still remember that after the Battle of Yaoguan, I let go of a general Yao Qin?

Guo Xu racked his brains for a long time, and finally suddenly enlightened:

"Yao Hedu? Did Yao He save you? ”

Hu Luzheng said yes, it's Yao Hedu. He was already a celebrity under Changsun Song. He told Changsun Song that I let him go, and I told Changsun Song about my war with the Huns, and he hated Daxia very much. Speaking of which, not only did he not kill me, but he also took me in and let me start from the main building. Over the years, I have mixed up the title of general. This time I sent someone to Jiangdong, and I bluntly told the emperor that I had an old man, but he was cool, so he sent me here.

In fact, at this time, the Wei Emperor Tuoba Tao was already secretly preparing to attack the Song Dynasty, and sent Hu Lu to recruit him, because he valued his old history and it was more convenient to spy on intelligence. But Hu Luzheng obviously can't show a little bit of this meaning, and Guo Xu doesn't care about his mission, all he cares about is that the life and death brothers of the year are still alive and well.

On the moonlit night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, three old friends rented a boat and came to Jinshan to drink and admire the moon. The night sky was clear, the moon was big and round, and Guishu and Wu Gang could see it clearly.

Hu Luzheng hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say to Guo Xu:

"Brother, you might as well move further south and stay away from Jingkou."

Guo Xuren is middle-aged, but he is more agile than when he was young, and immediately said Are you going to call.

Hu Luzheng drank a glass of wine and exhaled faintly:

"His Majesty the Emperor wants to drink the Yangtze River."

Xiaoqiao smiled:

"It's a coincidence, are you still thinking about Yan Ran's work here?"

Guo Xu shook his head:

"Calling back and forth, the northerners of the southerners can't take it away, the southerners of the northerners can't move, except for the dead, there is nothing!"

Yes, the river is rolling away, the bright moon is full for ten thousand years, and how many heroes have I seen are just a handful of dirt in the end.

Where is Liu Yuhu's might? Where is Yao Hong's poetry? What is Helian so domineering? What is the ambition of the Tuoba?

Hu Luzheng confided in his heart, put down his burden, and instantly relaxed:

"Brother, it would be nice if the two countries were willing to fight and win, just like when Chen Song drank and drank me, I would be dead set on messing with you."

Guo Xu was interested, and said Okay, today we will fight wine under the moon, and we will not return if we are not drunk, but when we wake up, your emperor and our emperor are tired of soldiers and have decided to marry a family with children!

They laughed loudly and frightened the birds that stayed overnight.

The moon is clear, the river is silent, and they enjoy the heartiness and calm of the eve of the wind and thunder.

At the foot of Jinshan, the Yangtze River spontaneously goes eastward, and the vast ocean flows into the sea.

Like an endless stream of male blood.
