Chapter 48 of the middle volume is a bloody map

PS: Nangui ordered, and the battalions that were going back were busy. Liu Yu has always been resolute, when he pulls out his legs to leave, his subordinates can't leave a tail in all kinds of handovers, guard changes, and cleanups, and the army must follow cleanly like a shadow, and must not drag mud and water.

The battalions were neatly tidy, but there was no movement from above. The Beifu soldiers are subordinate soldiers, and the division of troops to the south means that fathers and sons are separated, brothers are separated, and uncles and nephews are separated. The generals can't pretend to be confused, but make an appointment to collect the signal of the team, let them out, practice what should be practiced, don't say other words, and do their duty with letters and gifts. For a time, the restaurants and teahouses in the Chang'an Street market were overcrowded, and every table was a soldier. They came upright in all their clothes, laughing and crying, and drank and drank, and finally left sideways in the dark. Shangfeng has already ordered that you can drink and practice wine, and you can't drink and make trouble, and you must use a military stick to deliberately smash a bowl. Rao is like this, the wine is deep, and there are still I don't know how many bowls have died. The bosses have money to make, and they also know the mind of being a soldier, and no one reports it; The patrol felt the same way, and no one pickled. Naturally, no military stick fell on any of the two buttocks.

Nangui ordered that all the battalions that were going back were busy. Liu Yu has always been resolute, when he pulls out his legs to leave, his subordinates can't leave a tail in all kinds of handovers, guard changes, and cleanups, and the army must follow cleanly like a shadow, and must not drag mud and water.

The battalions were neatly tidy, but there was no movement from above. The Beifu soldiers are subordinate soldiers, and the division of troops to the south means that fathers and sons are separated, brothers are separated, and uncles and nephews are separated. The generals can't pretend to be confused, but they make an appointment to return to the team. Let them out, the practice of practice. Don't say anything else, and everyone who should bring a letter and a gift should do their duty. Time. The restaurants and teahouses in the Chang'an Street market were overcrowded, and every table was filled with soldiers. They came upright in all their clothes, laughing and crying, and drank and drank, and finally left sideways in the dark. Shangfeng has already ordered that you can drink and practice wine, and you can't drink and make trouble, and you must use a military stick to deliberately smash a bowl. Rao is like this, the wine is deep, and there are still I don't know how many bowls have died. The bosses have money to make. also understands the mind of being a soldier, and no one reports it; The patrol felt the same way, and no one pickled. Naturally, no military stick fell on any of the two buttocks.

After drinking, he talked a lot, his mouth was unlocked, the matter of the Tai Lieutenant leading the army to open up, the matter of the appointment of the twelve-year-old Liu Yizhen as the highest local governor, the matter of Wang Zhenwei presiding over military affairs, and the overseas Chinese to East Qinzhou, that is, the matter of recovering the old Qinzhou is no longer on the agenda. It all flowed from the soldier's mouth to the ears of the boss of the guy, from the wine table to the market, from Chang'an to Guanzhong, and it didn't take a few days. The locals of Chang'an and the displaced people from other counties who hid here already knew that the limelight of the Northern Expedition Jinge Iron Horse had passed, and the soul of the Northern Expedition was leaving. Guanzhong is about to fall into a stalemate in the Hu-Han confrontation.

Chen Song made an appointment with Hu Luzheng, Guo Xu, Mung Bean and the madman, and invited Ding Yi to drink together. Last time, Chen Song offended the military order. went ashore to save these brothers, and they were to be beheaded by Liu Yu. Ding Yi tried his best to intercede, but Chen Song never expressed it. Now the Baizhi team wants to guard Liu Yunan's return, and the people who stay behind will continue to fight in the east and west, I don't know who will be gone one day, so let's have a drink together if they can drink.

There is a tavern that has reserved an elegant compartment for them, otherwise they will not be able to find an empty bed if they look for it temporarily. Looking down the streets from the window, the eyes are full of soldiers swaying, or walking side by side, or negotiating with the shopkeepers. Outside the door of the compartment, none of the tables were civilians. When they came in, the officers and soldiers saw it, and everyone deliberately lowered their voices a little. Rao is like this, when talking in the cubicle, you still have to raise your voice. Chen Song hugged his fist at Ding Yi apologetically, saying that there was no choice but to ask Brother Ding to give in. Ding Yi waved his hand and said with a smile This is very good, I am afraid that there will never be this kind of excitement again after returning to Jiangdong.

After chatting for a while while eating, Chen Song picked up the wine bowl and faced Ding Yi:

"Brother Ding, last time Chen Song's head was able to roll over from the side of the knife, thanks to the eldest brother's words. The great grace is not grateful, it is all in the wine. ”

Ding Yi drank the wine, sat down and glanced at everyone:

"Ding Yi can't be greedy for his own merit. That time you went ashore to save the brothers, but the captain didn't mean to kill you in the first place. I have followed the lieutenant all these years and understood his temper. If he really wants to kill you, he won't give you a chance to complain. Putting on such a scene is to give everyone a chance to intercede, so that he can borrow the slope to get off the donkey. To tell the truth, Taiwei loves talents, especially values you young Zhuang faction, as long as you don't betray his old man, even if there is a big crime, you can let it go, unlike some people, who will be retributed. ”

At this point, it came to an abrupt end.

Everyone was taken aback. Ding Yi is a person close to Liu Yu, not speaking and being good at skills are the foundation of his life, and even being able to pretend to be dumb is more important than being able to fight. Today, the sudden appearance of such a character is very unexpected.

Ding Yi saw that everyone was staring at him, knowing that it would be cruel not to give an explanation, and he couldn't speak out in such a place where the wall had ears, so he stretched out his finger and dipped it in tea. Everyone thought he was going to write a word, but he just dropped three drops of water on the table. Hu Luzheng and Guo Xu haven't reflected yet, Chen Song, the madman and Mung Bean have already understood that he is alluding to Shen Tianzi. Ding Yi looked at Chen Song's eyes and knew that he already understood, so he reached out and wiped off the three points of water.

"Yesterday he found the lieutenant, and I can't tell you a word about what he said. Ding Yi followed the captain and never communicated with the generals, but this time in the Northern Expedition, he killed the enemy in a monthly formation, and he had a life-and-death relationship with the brothers, so he couldn't pretend to be confused. You have to be careful not to get involved. Remember, don't get involved! ”

This time, even Guo Xu understood. Although Ding Yi did not specify the surname, he was already warning them not to get involved in the dispute between Shen Tianzi and Wang Zhen. It seems that Shen Tianzi has already played right and wrong in front of Liu Yu, and the latter did not reprimand him, that is to say, King Shen's fighting law has not been truly ruled by the highest level.

Ding Yi saw that everyone was depressed by this dark topic, and smiled indifferently:

"Brethren, there is no need to think too much. I'll give you a thorough explanation. ”

Everyone pricked up their ears.

Ding Yi said that I took leave with the Taiwei, and said that I wanted to say goodbye to you, and the Taiwei was very happy to agree. He also said that he would summon you before leaving. He asked me to bring you a message, and the original words were: "Chen Song and Guo Xu are both rising stars who are loyal and can fight well. The future of the Beifu soldiers in the next thirty years lies in their group of brothers. You sue them. Don't care about the things of the elders, don't get involved in right and wrong, don't be the first to do things, just follow me to do things, they have a future! "You have heard clearly, the captain has a mirror in his heart, and you must remember his teachings. Chang'an is not peaceful, as long as you are determined not to get involved in right and wrong, and not to be the first rat at both ends, it will not be difficult to protect yourself. It is not difficult to make meritorious contributions.

At this point, Chen Song suddenly realized. Ding Yi came here, of course, to give him and Guo Xu face, but he also led Liu Yu to pass on the task. In this case, it must be regarded as Liu Yu's presence. Nai stood up angrily, hugged his fist at Ding Yi, and said that he asked the leader of the Ding team to tell the captain, we must firmly remember: don't get involved in right and wrong, and don't head the rat at both ends. Follow him to do things well.

Ding Yi smiled, and was about to say something, when suddenly there was a commotion outside the door.

Everyone listened attentively, as if someone had broken in and been entangled with the soldiers. Suddenly, I heard a soldier say that it was okay to be quiet. One person said, don't say so many people, you can't hear anything clearly.

Then it was quiet. A man said that he helped me to the bed. Apparently he was going to condescendingly speak to a room of soldiers:

"Brethren, don't blame me for ruining your spirits. We're in such a hurry! I heard that you are no longer here, and you are going back to Koto. Brothers, if you go, it would be good to leave this little soldier in Guanzhong and keep Chang'an, how can you still fight westward! Those of us who came up from Long, just waited for the northern expedition of the king to return to our hometown. Now that you have suddenly withdrawn the fire halfway, this soup is cold before it is boiled, isn't it going to chill our hearts? ”

No one said a word. No one in the army could answer such a heavy question.

Chen Song and Guo Xu glanced at each other, and they both felt that this voice was familiar.

"Brothers, a few days ago, I invited the two of you to drink wine in the restaurant in front of me, and they said that the army was going to march west, but it has only been a few days, why did it change its hexagram?"

Chen and Guo looked at each other again, and before they could spit out the name Du Chongguang, they heard a soldier outside the door say that there were several owners in the private room, so go and tell them.

Footsteps.

The sound of a door pushing.

A bunch of people poured in, and the private room was full at once.

Standing at the forefront was indeed Du Chongguang.

Guo Xu couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Chen Song stepped forward and stretched out his hand, wanting to hold Du Chongguang's hands, but was pushed away by the latter. Du Chongguang also smelled of wine in his mouth.

"Coincidentally, it's you again! It seems that my wine that day was not in vain, otherwise God would not have let me bump into you two flamboyant cowards again! ”

Mung Dou's eyes widened and he was about to step forward to question, but was pulled by Guo Xu. Of course, Chen Song was not a coward, but he did mix up the rhetoric that day. It's just that although he was drunk that day, it seems that Du Chongguang did not lose his memory due to alcohol. At this time, his eyes were on fire, and he gestured exaggeratedly:

"I'm so stupid that I'm crying in front of you, talking to you hard-hearted dogs about the hardships of our Longren, phew! I knew that you were so greedy for life and fear of death and greedy for pleasure, I pulled up people and beat them back, even if they were all trampled to death by the hooves of the Hu people, it was better than pinning my hopes on what bird Beifu soldiers, and ended up with a bamboo basket to draw water! ”

Inside and outside the private room, there was a dead silence. It sounded too harsh, but no one had the courage to stand up and fight back. There is a big reason for returning to Jiangdong in the south and closing the door, but this reason is placed in front of the people of Guanzhong, especially in front of these displaced people who are looking forward to recovering their homeland, it is a layer of bright window paper, which cannot withstand a finger poke at all. This sharp question made the soldier's heart weak and short-breathed, and he could only bow his head to accept it, and he could not raise his head to refute.

In the end, it was still Chen Song Laocheng, who stretched out his hand again and pressed Lao Du's shoulder:

"Brother Du, listen to me first. All of you here, except for this eldest brother who has urgent military affairs to return to the south, no one else is leaving! ”

Du Chongguang glanced at everyone and found that only Ding Yi nodded at him.

"Brother Du, you must have heard the rumors, and you have also seen that some people have been busy practicing it in the past few days. Someone wants to go back to Jiangdong, this is true. But you must have heard that the four most capable generals of our Northern Expeditionary Army, General Wang Zhenwei, General Shen Tianzi, General Fu Hongzhi, and General Mao Zude, all stayed in Guanzhong. My name is Chen Song, and my subordinates are cavalrymen specially trained by the Taiwei to deal with the Hu people. This Xianbei big brother Hu Rhythm is our teaching; His name is Guo Xu. He had the most elite Beifu hussars under his command. The most capable armies are in Guanzhong. If it's just to keep Chang'an, let's be honest. There is no need for so many famous generals. So Brother Du, what do you want to do? ”

Du Chongguang stopped talking, his face was dazed, he obviously felt that what Chen Song said made sense, but there was something incomprehensible, he was struggling in his heart, and an old man behind him took a step forward:

"Young man, don't fool us with such face-saving words. We don't know how to fight, but we also know that dragons can't be without heads. Taiwei Liu arranged these generals in Guanzhong. But he left a twelve-year-old child to be president. Looking at the previous generations. Ten handsome and nine are not in harmony, the more they can fight, the more they don't pee on each other. Is it really for the sake of progress? In my opinion, the old man, I'm afraid it's just to maintain. Besides, if there is really the idea of recovering Qinzhou from the west, why should there be an East Qinzhou here. After the Great Jin Dynasty crossed to the south, South Xuzhou and South Yanzhou were set up in Jiangdong, and many officials were in Jiangdong. But with the names of Yuzhou Thorn History, Jizhou Thorn History, and Yongzhou Thorn History, we have already seen it clearly, as long as the overseas Chinese are located in which state, it means that the genuine state is not wanted. I can't get it back. Today, will there be an exception to the overseas Chinese in East Qinzhou? ”

Chen Song didn't expect that there was such an old man who was familiar with the story among the displaced people, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while. Ding Yi threw his hand at the old man. Said old man, you don't know, Taiwei set up East Qinzhou. In order to converge the strength of the homeless people, he intends to train into an elite army.

People's eyes lit up.

Chen Song secretly exclaimed in his heart. I didn't expect Ding Yi to have such a quick wit.

Du Chongguang raised his head and slanted at Ding Yi:

"Who are you? How do you know what the Captain thinks? ”

Ding Yi hesitated for a moment, and was thinking about whether to reveal his identity, when a teenager among the homeless people suddenly pointed at him and said I have seen him, and when Taiwei entered the city that day, he followed Taiwei.

Seeing this situation, Ding Yi couldn't lie about his own fundraising, but gave it up:

"Fathers, what I just said is true, because I am the leader of the Bai Zhi team next to the captain, and the subordinates are all protecting Ding Yi."

As soon as Du Chongguang heard his title, he nodded, exchanged glances with the old man, turned around and stared at Ding Yi, and suddenly knelt down, and the people behind him followed him to his knees:

"On behalf of the 100,000 Longshang refugees in Guanzhong, we implore Ding Du to escort us to see the Taiwei!"

This move was unexpected by everyone, Ding Yi first retreated, and then hurriedly moved forward, bending down to help Du Chongguang up. Unexpectedly, this man was very angry, Ding Yi was not mentally prepared, and he didn't help him up the first time. I went to help the old man again, and the old gentleman simply hugged his leg. Ding Yi had been following Liu Yu for many years, and his mind was extremely lively, and he immediately gestured to the madman. The latter understood, immediately rolled out the window, got on the horse and went to the Taiwei Mansion to report. Ding Yi knew that in this way, the Taiwei side would be prepared, so he raised his voice and said Since this is the case, I will take everyone and ask all the fathers and villagers to get up.

The wine could no longer be drunk, so a cadre of people took these dozen or so homeless people to the Taiwei Mansion. On the road, there were constantly homeless people joining, and when they arrived two streets away from Taiwei's Mansion, there was already a big tail of nearly two hundred people behind them.

But compared to the people who had gathered at the gate of the Taiwei Mansion, it was very thin.

At least, there were 3,000 people blocking the door.

The madman waited on the side of the road, and came up to him and said that there was no need to report to the captain.

Sure enough, a lieutenant came out of the mansion and stood on the steps and struck the gong, and the people suddenly fell silent. Taiwei said that the villagers have worked hard, you wait a minute, the Taiwei was discussing a major matter with the people sent by the imperial court just now, and now he is changing his clothes, and he will come out to see the villagers immediately, please don't mess up, don't shout when the Taiwei comes out, it is best to elect a few representatives, so that you can make your meaning clear, and the Taiwei can understand it, okay?

Ding Yi gave up his hand at Chen Song and Guo Xu, and hit his horse and rushed to the back door of Taiwei's Mansion.

Oh, Liu Yu changed into civilian clothes, and came out of the gate with a light coat, and Ding Yi followed behind him like a trick.

Liu Yu threw his hand at the people:

"Folks, I am Liu Yu. It is said that I should visit all the fathers and elders, but today I have alarmed you to come to me, the house is small, and I can't fit so many people, so I have to grieve you to be frozen, I'm sorry, please accept my worship! ”

Just such a remark, simple, sincere, and sincere, many people burst into tears.

The three representatives of the displaced people, an old man with white hair, a scholar covered in patches, and an old official wearing an old-fashioned Jin Dynasty official uniform, returned the salute to Liu Yu together. After the ceremony, the old official untied a cloth bag, took out something from a box, held it high above his head, and knelt down to offer it to Liu Yu.

It was a scroll, mostly dyed red, with a hole in the center of the red.

Liu Yu slowly unfolded the scroll. The early winter sun shone down and sprinkled on the scrolls.

It was a map of the whole country that dominated the country in the heyday of the Great Jin Dynasty. It reaches Sanggu-gun in the north, Kudeok-gun south of Cochin in the south, crosses the river west to the green mountains, and crosses the sea in the east to Pyongyang Fortress in Lelang County. Although there are Xianbei in Mobei and Qiang people in Hetao, the image of the version is a wishful and auspicious, and it is not inferior to the two Han Dynasty. Luoyang, the capital, is guarded by many counties and counties, and it is magnificent. In about the location of Jingzhou, in the bloodstains, there is a hole.

The old official took a step forward and looked at Liu Yu, his cloudy eyes shining brightly:

"Taiwei, I used to be the chief secretary of Dunhuang County. I've been in exile since the fall of my hometown, but this picture has never left me. In order to keep this picture, I went first under cover, and folded two brothers and a son, and I myself was stabbed. Fortunately, I was strong enough to withstand the pain. The blood on the picture is mine. A few of them lost a few of them, they dried up their blood, and they didn't stain the map a bit. ”

Liu Yu was so moved that he couldn't say a word. Thousands of people were silent, listening to the old official's old voice, revealing the spirit of Jinfang:

"Taiwei, the reason why I have to fight for my life is to let future generations see that the Great Jin Dynasty has never been so cowardly, and the Han people have never been slaughtered like this. The commander of the army went on a northern expedition, and the old body was so happy that he couldn't sleep all night. I'm old, and I don't have a few days to live, but I hope that when the surviving children and grandchildren go to the grave one day, they can tell me that the Great Jin Dynasty is alive again, and our borders are pushed to the size of Emperor Shizuwu's reign! ”

This ambitious ambition, if another person says it, Liu Yu may feel hypocritical, and now from the mouth of such a veteran official, it is like a fire, boiling people's blood. Two lines of hot tears flowed down Liu Yu's cheeks, and several of the Baizhi guards behind him were already turning around to wipe their tears.

The old man walked up to Liu Yu tremblingly, stretched out his hand and hugged one of his arms:

"The last time Huanwen Northern Expedition, the old body was greatly disappointed after hoping for a time, this time it was different from the last time, the entire Guanzhong, the heroic people, their minds were stirred up, and the strong descendants were waiting to pick up the knife and fight back. Public opinion can be used, the people's power can be borrowed, and this anger can not be vented! ”

After a little gasp, he looked at Liu Yu with teary eyes:

"Taiwei, you tell the truth to the old man, did the Northern Expedition really stop there?" (To be continued......)
