Chapter 157: Flowing Water Rushes
Qi Yufeng's order was conveyed, and everyone immediately applauded, Peng Yingyu praised: "Guo Jing's hero once said in the previous dynasty, for the country and the people, the great man of chivalry, with a righteous heart to resist the country thief, holding a three-foot long sword, and leveling the injustice of the world, this is the duty of all the people in the rivers and lakes of my generation." ”
Wei smiled and said, "But the way of chivalry also requires outstanding martial arts." ”
Peng Yingyu nodded and said, "Yes, I think this is the reason why Zhang Zhenren favors this kid." ”
Since everyone heard Qi Yufeng say this, the banquet was not held immediately, and they all went out one after another, preparing to return to the barracks and implement the great plan of reorganizing the army for war.
The Budai monk said that he couldn't see Shi Nai'an walking and kept nodding his head, and couldn't help but quip: "Big Shi, what are you thinking about?" ”
Shi Nai'an said with a smile: "King Wuwei's bearing is extraordinary, it is really beyond my expectations, originally I thought that if we govern a big country, it must be as easy as a small fresh, as long as the country does not compete with the people, so that the people are willing to eat, beautiful clothes, and follow the trend, you can have the rule of a saint, and the world is peaceful." But we have all forgotten that since ancient times, the imperial power has not been lower than the county, and there has never been a dynasty that has not fallen, and in the face of power, everyone will think that they are the most special one, even I, a hermit who prides himself on being a hermit of the Jiang Xiang faction, is no exception. ”
Monk Budai nodded and said: "Yes, when times of hardship and hardship, people are often very sober, but if there is really a flower and a country in front of him, he can recognize that he cannot rule this country for thousands of generations, which is too rare for a young man." ”
Shi Nai'an smiled: "Are we sober?" In the past few years, the momentum has been very good, and I see that all the generals in the army have also done a good job of being promoted and making a fortune. What are the plans for sealing his wife and son in the future? ”
The Budai monk couldn't say: "This is human nature, and there is nothing wrong with it." But ......" he walked out of the hall and looked up at the high rim of the temple. sighed: "Under the rule of King Wuwei, I am really looking forward to how far my Chinese Ming can go." ”
Everyone gathered in the barracks, Tian Zaidao gathered elite soldiers, and practiced in front of Qi Yufeng, this Xiliang army had Yang Yuanhai drills, and scattered soldiers, and Dastan, Wusanren and other checks. After many years of conquest, he is actually the number one tiger and wolf soldier in the world.
And Qi Yufeng's previous small inventions, whether it was hot air balloons, canned food, or grenades made of clay pots and black powder, etc., were also distributed to the army at this time, making the Xiliang army march and fight, and it was even more powerful.
The drill was immediately finished, and it was already evening. Everyone fought at night, opened the march map, and began to ponder the plan to crack Li Siqi and Dadu.
Yang Yuanhai had been prepared for this for a long time, and immediately gushed endlessly. said a whole set of plans, and his subordinates Tian Zaidao, Shi Zong, Shi Xiu, Duan Sixi, Du Baiba and others also became heroic at this time, constantly adding words. The crowd is talking about it in full swing.
Qi Yufeng has been in the west for a long time, and there have been bad battles in that place for hundreds of years. He also learned a lot of the Persians' methods of warfare, and at this time the Persians defended the city and shelled it. The methods of military columns and formations came out one by one, and everyone couldn't help but applaud when they heard the wonders.
Everyone said that in the early hours of the morning, they repeatedly deduced, and the whole plan was formulated seamlessly, and they felt that there was no more push, so they scattered.
Qi Yufeng, accompanied by Tian Zaidao, slowly walked back to his sleeping place, and as soon as he was free, he found that on this day, whether it was Cao Caixiao, Han Yuniang, Duan Qiangnu, or Shi Xiangling, none of them appeared, whether it was to greet and send them, or to answer in the palace, these women were as if they had made an appointment, and no one saw him.
He looked back at Tian Zaidao behind him, thought for a long time, and after all, there was still no exit, until he fell asleep, and then shook his head with a wry smile: "It's okay if you don't see it." ”
However, after sleeping for most of the hour, Qi Yufeng got up early, did not alarm others, changed into civilian clothes, and came to the Chang'an City Market.
After the Western Liang army conquered Yinchuan, it marched all the way east, and after the guards of Chang'an heard about it, they fled overnight, and the city of Chang'an was not greatly damaged, and after the Western Liang army arrived in Chang'an, it was presided over by the Wusan people, Yang Yuanhai, A Gai and others, and began to gradually rebuild the old city that was destroyed after the Tang Dynasty.
At this time, the city wall of Chang'an, more than four zhang high, and the thickness is greater than the height, it can be said that it is stable as a mountain, the top of the wall can be practiced by a sports car, there are four city gates, the east is called Changle, the west is said to be stable, the south is said to be Yongning, and the north is said to be Anyuan. Each gate tower is threefold: the gate tower, the arrow tower, and the main tower.
The main building is as high as more than ten zhang, it is the top of the hill type, the four corners are cocked, the three layers are heavy eaves, the bottom floor is surrounded by a corridor, it is antique, it is majestic and magnificent.
The city wall includes a series of military facilities such as moats, suspension bridges, gate towers, arrow towers, main towers, corner towers, enemy towers, parapet walls, and battlements. There was a corner wall at each of the four corners of the wall, and a moat outside the wall. There are pheasant moats on the outside of the city wall, also known as the battlement wall, more than 5,000 in total, there are battlements on the mouth, which can shoot arrows and lookouts. The inner low wall is called the women's wall, and there is no battlement to prevent soldiers from falling down when walking back and forth.
The city wall repairs the enemy platform every forty zhang, protrudes outside the city wall, and the top is flat with the city wall. This is set up specifically for shooting enemies who climb the city. Half of the distance between the enemy platforms is exactly within the effective range of the bow and arrow, making it easy to shoot the besieging enemy from the side. There are a total of 98 enemy platforms on the city wall, and there are enemy towers with garrisons on them.
Seeing this, Qi Yufeng couldn't help nodding secretly, and said in his heart that the Xiliang Army can have such ability, and the Lord of Agai County has made great contributions, and it really has great talents, and it seems that these people do treat Chang'an as the capital of the future to operate, and they simply make this Chang'an like an iron bucket.
He went down to the city tower and returned to the market, at this time the sun was rising in the east, but he saw the houses in rows, the buildings were like clouds, the streets were full of pedestrians in brocade clothes, and the fang market was booming, and its gorgeous scene was indeed stronger than what he had seen all the way, not only there was almost no sign of war, but it was like the shape of the prosperous place in later generations.
I saw the Red Mansion Painting Pavilion, the embroidered Zhumen, the carved cars competed, and the horses galloped. High cabinet giant shop, full of strange goods and foreign objects; Tea shop wine shop, but see Chinese clothes beads. It's really full of flowers, and the drums are noisy; The golden green is shining, and Luo Qi is fragrant.
Even on both sides of the wide road, there are already a few splendid restaurants, and there are guys at the door who can't stop beckoning guests to eat.
Qi Yufeng walked to the long street to wander around. After walking for a long time, I suddenly heard the noise of people in front of me, and the sound of cheers was endless. From a distance, there were a lot of people around. I don't know what I'm looking at. Curious, he stepped into the crowd and looked around. , but I saw a small sedan car walking in, coupled with the pedestrians wandering, the whole alley was blocked tightly. It took a lot of twists and turns for those small sedan chairs to leave the street.
Qi Yufeng saw that around the small sedan chair, there were a large group of colorful and gorgeous girls, and he couldn't help but be curious, saying that this family can afford to gather so many beautiful girls?
He didn't have time to ask. I heard a vendor mixing cold skins in a corner next to me saying: "Have you heard, our King Wuwei has returned from overseas, and now we are going to establish a country in Xiliang, these women are all selected from good families and sent to the palace as palace maids." ”
When a noodle seller beside him heard this, he crooked his mouth and said, "I don't know what these people are hot about, our four mothers in Xiliang." Isn't that martial arts strong, like a flower like jade, can their daughter be favored when she enters the palace? ”
A bacon seller next to the two of them heard this. put down the long knife that cut the donkey's legs, and said with a smile: "The four of us are really beautiful and fragrant." People are kind, and it is even more rare to be such a beautiful woman. I am not jealous, and the sisters are happy. Often in our street market, good as sisters, but also bought our bacon, the ancients said that the blessing of Qi people, could it be that it should be here? You really envy me. ”
When a stall selling sugar gourds heard this, he laughed and said, "Anyway, you don't have the surname Qi, what are you doing thinking about so many useless things." ”
When the bacon seller heard this, he was not angry, and continued with a smile: "I don't have that blessing, you see, our prince only came back yesterday, and today he recruited so many people into the palace?" What does this make the four mothers think? ”
"We are not good at matching, if you want me to say, the Shi family's mother is more harmonious, and the other three are all hot-tempered, not only can they go into battle to kill the enemy, get off the horse to rule the people, just on this street, they have beaten many blind scoundrels, speaking of which, our Qi prince is also quite pitiful."
As he said this, he couldn't help but shake his head, sighed, and then continued to pick up the knife and cut the leg of the donkey on the board.
The more Qi Yufeng listened, the more mysterious he became, and said in his heart that I was not at home for the past few years, and the four of you actually gave all the names? And there are people who recruit palace maids into the palace, into that palace, Daming Palace?
has never laid down the country, so do you think about how to be a queen?
When he thought of this, he was unhappy, and said in his heart, "These women are not from a poor place there, who bought them?"
At this moment, I heard a tofu seller ask: "This Wuwei King is said to be very greedy, yesterday sat in the palace, before the civil and military officials shouted long live, he remembered to eat noodles, saying that people are fighting overseas, in the middle of the night to think of the fragrance of noodles, are so hungry that they can't sleep, you see that the four mothers often come down to have fun with the people, he will come here these days, right?" ”
After he said this, several people around him became vigilant, a pair of eyes turned in front of him, and the sugar gourd seller sneered: "Boss Yang, what are you doing looking for the whereabouts of King Wuwei, relying on your daughter's appearance, on our streets, there is a good reputation for tofu Shih, Ba looks at one step to the sky, climb the branches to be a phoenix?" ”
"I said, you still don't want to be delusional, look at how many beautiful girls like fairies have been spinning in front of King Wuwei just now, it's up to you...... Hum! ”
Boss Yang smiled and said: "How can I have that thought, the current taxes are light, and our family can't afford to raise a girl, not to mention my family's little cabbage, this matchmaker has broken through the threshold, and I'm still worried that she can't get married?" We are parents, and it is serious to find an honest and responsible person for our daughter, how can we push her into the fire pit? ”
"And I heard that King Wuwei returned from overseas this time, and brought back a Persian beauty, it is said that she is the daughter of the head of the Persian head of the Ming Sect. When he said this, he shook his head and said, "The lady surnamed Han also praised the tenderness of my tofu flowers, and now I will die of sorrow." ”
"I'm not worried!" Suddenly, a high-pitched female voice came from the dumpling stall next to her, which startled all the vendors.
Qi Yufeng turned his head to look, but saw a young man in a gray linen shirt, with a swarthy leather hat on his head, "he" originally lowered his head to eat noodles, and no one paid attention to it, so he put down the sea bowl and stood up. Pointing at a few people, he shouted: "If you do a good business, you will do business, and talk about other people's affairs." If the person surnamed Qi hears it, he won't cut off your tongue? ”
The crowd discerned carefully. Seeing that her appearance and dress are extremely incommensurate, her lips are red and her teeth are white, she is delicate and charming, her eyes are pitch black, she is very smart, revealing two rows of shiny snow-white teeth, not Han Yuniang, but who is it?
The vendors recognized the man. hurriedly panicked: "I don't know that the mother is here, the villain is a capital crime." ”
Han Yuniang said impatiently: "What is the death, what is the crime, everyone is an old acquaintance, how can I kill you, besides, what you said is not false, people have long forgotten the old people when they see that they are going to be emperors." At this, her face was sad. He pursed his mouth, as if he was about to cry.
When Boss Yang, who sold tofu, heard this, his hands were quick and he hurriedly scooped a bowl of tofu flowers. The flattering person was placed on Han Yuniang's table, and said, "I heard that King Wuwei lived and died with you back then, and fought a lot of tough battles. He is also an iron-clad and unspeakable hero. How so? ”
Han Yuniang said angrily: "I like the new and hate the old, what does this have to do with iron." In front of so many people, he welcomed a woman back from Zephani, do you say that this is not giving me face, is it ungrateful, morally corrupt, and abandoned from the beginning? ”
When Boss Yang heard this, he couldn't help but suffocate for a while, but seeing that Han Yuniang was looking at him with blazing eyes, he could only nod his head and said, "Yes, it's a little ......."
Han Yuniang slapped the table and said, "What do you mean a little?" Isn't this the same as Chen Shimei sung in the play, you should use Bao Longtu's dog-headed guillotine to clatter and roll, don't you say? ”
Boss Yang saw that everyone was chasing and talking about the sedan chair, and not too many people paid attention to it, so he immediately nodded and said, "Yes, yes." ”
Han Yuniang looked at several other vendors one after another, and asked, "Did you say that?" ”
The other vendors, you look at me, I look at you, and they all nodded and said, "Yes, King Wuwei is indeed sorry for the girl." ”
Han Yuniang sighed and said quietly: "It's a pity that he has the true inheritance of Zhang Zhenren of the Wudang faction now, and his martial arts are greatly advanced, I can't beat him." ”
The heart of the seller of cool skins was careful, looking at Han Yuniang's clothes, but she was dressed as a man, and she also carried a package, and hurriedly asked, "What ......is this girl?" ”
Han Yuniang said: "I can't afford to mess with him, I can't hide yet, I'll leave now, so that he can't find me for the rest of his life!" ”
Qi Yufeng saw Han Yuniang talking nonsense in the market, and couldn't help frowning and stepped forward and said, "Where are you going to hide from me?" ”
Han Yuniang's eyes looked at him, tears suddenly welled up in her dark eyes, and she cried: "Listen to you, just now people said that you are a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs, we have waited for you for three years, you come back without asking, just bring back a delicate girl, Qi Yufeng, you, you ......"
Qi Yufeng shouted, "You didn't pick me up either?" Besides, if you explain it to me, who will give up with you? Why did I mess with you? ”
When Han Yuniang heard this, her face suddenly turned red, no matter how rude she was, she also knew that this was not right, and immediately threw a few copper coins at the Yang boss who sold tofu, jumped up, put one arm on the wall, and straightened her waist, like a swallow with wings spread out of the water.
Qi Yufeng saw Han Yuniang flying away, he was slightly stunned, and was about to catch up, but he stopped in his heart, he looked back at a few people, and saw that several vendors opened their mouths one by one, their faces were bitter, and they looked at themselves in fear, and couldn't help but sigh, shook their heads and said, "How many of you will ...... in the future." Don't talk nonsense about what you have and don't. ”
He decided in his heart to make up his mind early, and now he didn't put more effort into Han Yuniang, turned back to the mansion, saw the Wusan people and Yang Yuanhai and others, everyone talked in detail for a while, Qi Yufeng said goodbye to everyone, cleaned up, and went out of the city with three swords, and went straight to Taiyuan Mansion.
Above the city, the third girl looked at his back from afar, and was silent for a long time, until the handsome figure disappeared into the sky, and Duan Qiang said with a long sigh: "In his heart now, there is only this world, and we are long gone." ”
Several women stood in the cold wind, and after thinking about it, they couldn't help but shed tears in a daze.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………
In the Dadu Palace, Emperor Yuan was lazily lying on the soft couch, and a palace maid beside him knelt in front of him, using a pair of slender hands to massage his knee bones.
A minister knelt in front of him and said earnestly: "Now the Demon Sect is powerful, it is said that the little devil of Qi Yufeng has returned from overseas, and he has brought the gold and silver sea of the old man in the mountains in the past, tens of thousands of elite soldiers, countless strange men, and the casting method of Persian cannons. ”
Emperor Yuan Shun looked down at the palace maid who was smiling in a low voice, stretched out his hand, stroked her soft and breakable skin, his eyes were shining with a strange and focused brilliance, and he seemed to be deaf to the old minister's sonorous words and almost crying blood.
Seeing that Emperor Yuan Shun did not answer, the minister put his hands on the ground, pressed his head, and shook his head three times, only to hear a loud vibration, echoing in the palace, for a long time, many warblers and swallows, couldn't help but scream, got up one after another, and avoided it.
Emperor Yuan Shun saw the blood stains on the ground, frowned slightly, and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't defile my house." ”
The minister's forehead was dripping with blood, and he raised his head and cried: "Your Majesty! ”
Emperor Yuan Shun smiled and said: "Speaking of which, you are also a Han Chinese, why is my Mongolian Great Yuan about to die, I am not in a hurry, but you are so anxious?" ”
The minister cried: "Today, disasters have occurred repeatedly, the river has been earthquaked, thieves are breeding, Li Siqi has been defeated, most of the capital is in danger, and the minister's heart is painful." ”
Emperor Yuan Shun laughed, raised his head and hugged a beauty, hugged him in his arms and ravaged it, and waited for the two of them to have messy hair and beads of sweat on their sideburns, before they raised their heads, looked at the old minister in front of them, and said with a smile: "A hundred years ago, there was no Great Yuan, Mongolia came from the north, and now it has returned to Mobei, grazing sheep by grass, isn't it good?" ”
"Even if you block Xiliang, there will still be Zhu Yuanzhang, without Zhu Yuanzhang, there will be countless anti-thieves, you can't stop this destiny, I can't stop it, if this Dayuan is going to die, let him perish vigorously."
When the minister heard this, his body couldn't help but tremble. It was like falling into an endless dark abyss, making him feel a bone-chilling coldness from the depths of his soul, unable to say a word again.
Emperor Yuan Shun looked at the minister in front of him fainting in front of him, and let out a dry and hoarse laugh in his throat: "Qi ...... Manage...... Wind, I want to see what you can do......" (To be continued......
