Chapter 120: Flowers in a Dream
After reading the old letter, a cool breeze suddenly rose in the hall, and the rain master threw the last letter into the furnace with a song. The fire is warm, and he has no habit of taking a lunch break in winter, but today he is so sleepy that he can't even lift his eyelids.
Many years have passed in this hall, and there is no breath of him at all, and all kinds of scenery are not what they used to be.
He closed his eyes and fell asleep at some point.
It is His Majesty's 60th birthday.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty celebrated and enjoyed themselves.
The court gave a banquet and wrote poems, and the banquet did not disperse until dawn the next day.
In the morning of the next day, the star official played: "The minister looked at the sky at night and found that there was a thief star invading the emperor's throne, and the lord had a policeman. It should be ominous, and we hereby remind you to be prepared. ”
If there is really news, the people of the Bo Jie and carved the inscription are coming violently, wanting to seize the cloud pillar and other places, the cloud pillar was originally the territory of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and if you take this place, the long realm of the Northern Qi Dynasty is all in the bag.
His Majesty said to the ministers: "Bo Zhi and carved the question, although he has submitted to my Donghu on the surface, but in the past few years, it has been really inconsistent, and I have troubled the outside world in this matter. The carving topic is newly received, and the lonely one thinks that they will not dare to invade our country again, and Bo Xi sent someone to negotiate peace last year, and this time he turned his back on the previous good. ”
Yuwen Zhonghong played: "Chengge is still in Yujian, the capital of Northern Qi Kingdom, if he receives the news, he will definitely prepare to fight back, Your Majesty does not need to worry." The carving question is capricious, the offense is undecided, and the minister invites himself to lead the troops to meet him, and increase the troops of the Northern Qi to probe the enemy's reality. ”
Someone made peace and said: "The will of heaven is unpredictable, and we should not move our troops and horses lightly, and consume food and wages, and we still need to wait for news from His Highness the Fifteenth." ”
Yuwen Zhonghong said: "The soldiers and nobles will strike first, and before Kou arrives in Northern Qi, Donghu will be the enemy." ”
His Majesty said: "What Zhong Hong said is extremely true. ”
On the way back to Donghu by the song, the official sent by the Northern Qi reported: "Bo Xi carved the theme to lead the people and horses, and came to be close to the Northern Qi Yiwu City." ”
Hearing this, Master Yu frowned, "It's hard to return to the court earlier, these dog things." "Yes
led his subordinates, commanded 3,000 troops, and went all the way.
After walking more than 50 miles, he has confronted the soldiers all the way.
The camp of the rain master was settled, and at night, taking advantage of its unpreparedness, he marched in with a drum and surrounded the people in the center.
After killing for a day and a night, Bo Shen's 5,000 soldiers and horses were lost.
The other party's lord was unable to support the Baili branch merchant alone, and was captured by the rain master under the singer's pottery, got into a prisoner car, and took him to the camp.
Yushi looked at the Baili branch merchant in the prisoner's car and asked him about the itinerary of the nearby Bo Xi army.
The people of the Baili family had a hard mouth, and he refused to say that Yushi Chengge broke one of his arms, and someone whispered in Yushi Chengge's ear, and Yushi Chengge smiled, "Your wife is a member of the Xuan clan, a courtier of the Baili clan?" ”
Although the Baili branch merchant was silent, his eyes darkened.
"To tell you the truth, even if I can't win the battle, support until Donghu sends troops to support, when the time comes, you Bo worry and carving questions, you can't escape, I think about how my father treats friends who are untrustworthy, it seems to be cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, when we attack Bo Xi, I will first go to let people gather the Xuan people, find out your wife from it, if she is beautiful, I will give her to my close ministers, if it is not beautiful, I will chop her up and feed her to my wolf dog."
Baili Zhishang looked at him, and finally said it, and marched forward, and it would take about dozens of days to reach Northern Qi, and there were only more than a thousand miles left from here.
The news came that His Majesty was about to send troops to fight against him.
Yushi Chengge said in the newspaper that he had already stationed the soldiers who could be gathered and built a barrier, but the Northern Qi had just recovered, the people's hearts were scattered, and there was no morale, and the Ram royal family wanted to take advantage of the chaos to regain the territory, so the Ram clan only contributed on the surface, and secretly was still encircling foreign enemies.
If this time the carving of the Bo Xuan theme helps the Northern Qi Dynasty to restore, the Celestial Empire's four rulers will not be able to subdue each other, and this battle must be won before it can overcome the momentum.
The world is newly united, and the thieves disturb the frontier and kill without mercy.
The Baili clan killed wantonly and attempted to rebel, resulting in the emperor's favor.
Erchen took the Baili branch merchant and sent it to Donghu. In addition, the minister waited for the decree in Northern Qi, and the ambush reinforcements arrived early, and the holy grace was immense.
His Majesty browsed the seal and quickly sent Yuwen Zhonghong to go.
The courtiers of the court said: "Bo Shi Erqi Xing, I promised to return to my court, Your Majesty was merciful, and exempted them from paying tribute for three years, but they did not know what to do, so they were humiliated." It is supposed that His Royal Highness the Thirteenth should be allowed to respond to the enemy, capture King Boxi, and bring him to Liangzhou to punish the crime. ”
Before the soldiers were sent, some people played: "The two countries have hundreds of thousands of heavy troops, thousands of generals, and they will fight with them, if our soldiers are strong and strong, it will be a big victory, but we have been fighting with the Southern Wei Dynasty in recent years, and the soldiers and horses are tired, so it is better to make peace first, if you refuse to hold it, it is not too late to hand over the troops." ”
Yuwen Nakahiro insisted on going, and promised that His Majesty would definitely bring back the rebel heads.
His Majesty pondered for a moment, and then sent Lord Shan Si to the enemy camp to negotiate peace under the order.
On the other hand, Yuwen Zhonghong accompanied him, and sent more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and there were 70,000 soldiers and horses in one country, plus Bo Xi, at least 300,000 soldiers and horses, but His Majesty only used half of the soldiers and horses to resist the enemy.
When Yuwen Zhonghong was leaving, His Majesty said, "If you win a big victory, the Southern Wei will be given to you." ”
Donghu people travel day and night.
Master Shan immediately went to the account to pay homage, and said: "The king of Donghu heard that the envoys of the two countries came to Northern Qi, and he sent Weichen to pay tribute. Please also ask the two generals to retreat and give up, Donghu is willing to send gold 100 yi, brocade 10,000 heads, cattle, sheep, mules and horses, I don't know your respect? ”
The general Baili Zheng replied: "I came here for thanksgiving, and I have no other intention. We will immediately lead our troops back. As for the property you mentioned, of course you dare not take it. While laughing, he held a sword in his hand and cut off Master Shan's neck with one sword.
Yuwen Zhonghong got the news and went all the way to meet with the rain master.
He stood in the middle of the field and saw Yuwen Zhonghong coming with a heavy army.
Between heaven and earth, the horse's hooves came by the wind, and on the high horse, the silver-armored general held a spear.
After getting off the horse, the rain master sang and said: "The army is too strong, you can only outwit, not force." ”
Yuwen Zhonghong handed over the horse to the soldiers beside him and said, "Your Majesty is willing to hand over the Southern Wei Dynasty to me, on the condition that we will not be on hand with these Bo Xuan carved field soldiers, but let me kill them all." ”
Yushi Chengge smiled and said: "Even if I chase thousands of miles, I will not let them retreat, and I will definitely kill them." ”
Yuwen Zhonghong nodded, "Although the Northern Qi and Southern Wei are already in the hands of His Majesty, but Bo Shu raised troops, these people think that Donghu is too weak, if they don't fight to the death with the Bo Wei carved army, how can they subdue the Quartet?" ”
The next day, the whole division, with Yuwen Zhonghong as the marshal, led 50,000 horses and marched towards the enemy
The rain division led 80,000 troops with a song and followed closely.
They divided their soldiers and horses into three teams: two teams met the enemy, and one team guarded the rear of the Northern Qi.
His Majesty issued a war letter and issued an order: "Annihilate all enemy troops, and leave no one behind." ”
On the day of the battle, Yuwen Zhonghong took the lead, and Yushi rode the song behind, and fought with the enemy soldiers.
After a few rounds of fighting, the carving person saw that the situation was not right, so he feinted defeat and fled.
The rain master chased after him with a song, and chased him for more than a hundred miles. Unknowingly, he lost the trace of the carver.
On the other side, the carver instructed his subordinates: "If the Donghu army is victorious, the morale must be proud and complacent." We will attack tonight, I see who can rob the capital of Northern Qi tonight, and there will be a heavy reward when we come back. ”
There was a very brave young general in the army, who was also proficient in military affairs, and responded: "The young general is willing to go, kill the Donghu people, and burn their grain and grass." ”
The lord was overjoyed, and sent a few thousand men and horses, and told him to lead a large army to kill him later.
It was dark, and this man led more than a thousand men and horses to the camp, but no one seemed to be aware of it, and he kept breaking into the camp.
The lights in the camp flickered, and only then did he hear the sound of killing, and the carving theme realized that more than half of them had been killed and wounded.
When this person saw that Donghu Jun was conscious, he immediately wanted to escape.
In an instant, the rain master led the people to kill together. Hold them tightly in the middle, and there is no way out in all directions.
After two hours of siege, more than 1,000 horses were wounded, and dozens of people were left uninjured.
He asked people to take off the clothes of these people and put on the clothes of the carver, and asked these dozens of people to lead the way, the carver's whereabouts are unpredictable, and they don't know where to camp, and they send them to the door, which is exactly what Yuwen Zhonghong needs.
"It is impossible for you to break out of the siege, surrender early, and take our men to your camp. ”
Dozens of people refused to speak, and the rain master laughed with a song, he had a way to torture people.
At dawn, the shouts in the carved army were loud. I saw a general, commanding tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, from the south to kill.
The carved people scattered, and the Lord fled.
When the rain master saw the man in the middle of the song, he smiled and rode forward, and the spear pierced the man's throat, and the carving master immediately rolled the saddle and dismounted, and lay down in front of the battle.
The rest of the carved army has been in disarray.
On the other side, Yuwen Zhonghong also broke out of the siege and was fighting with the Bo Xi people.
When he was anxious, Yushi Chengge led the men and horses to support, and among the tens of thousands of soldiers, he glanced at Yuwen Zhonghong across the mountain of people, and both of them smiled.
Just when the two were about to turn defeat into victory, they saw clouds rising and the wind raging.
There was a violent thunderclap and hail fell. In less than a meal, the water is a few feet deep.
At this moment, the Bo Xian led the remnants and fled outside.
After a while, the rain stopped, but the people of Boshu did not know where to flee.
The rain master looked up and said, "Break the enemy with water." What kind of magic is this, or a miracle? ”
Yuwen Zhonghong said: "I don't care if it's a demon or a god, whoever stands in my way will be slaughtered." ”
After a night's rest, when the dawn flashed, the Bo Xi people attacked again, this time, it was visible to the naked eye that their numbers had not been reduced, but yesterday's fierce battle, the Donghu army obviously killed a third of their people.
This is the case for the next half month, and the Bo people don't know what demon methods they use, killing a batch, growing a batch, endlessly, and killing them endlessly.
Rumors spread among the Donghu army.
When the army was tired, there was a black dot in the far reaches of the horizon against the light, and gradually, it came closer, it was a woman, a black feathered robe, and a goddess came from the sunset.
Yuwen Zhonghong and Yushi Chengge recognized her, the shaman.
They invited her into the tent.
The shaman said, "I know that you have encountered strange things, and when I come today, I want to help you break their Dharma." ”
"Thank you." The rain master sang and said.
"Why?" Yuwen Zhonghong has always known that Master Wei doesn't care about mundane things outside the grassland.
The shaman's lips stretched slightly, "Because, I owe you a favor." ”
"Why?"
"There was a great drought in Donghu that year, and the drought was about to spread to the grassland of Lost Wei, I asked Tengger to rain, but the gods did not allow it, but I went against the sky to save Lost Wei."
"This is an old thing, what does it have to do with the present war?"
"What I'm going to say has little to do with this war, but it has ...... with the person you think about in your heart."
"Please make it clear." Yuwen Zhonghong hurriedly said.
"Jimo Jiao."
"She's gone." The rain master said indifferently with a song.
Yuwen Zhonghong clenched the long sword in his hand and said nothing.
"I didn't want to see Wei Wei in danger, so I replaced it with Ji Mo Jiao's life, and in this way, I solved the disaster of Wei Wei."
"Why are you doing this?" Yuwen Zhonghong's eyes were red.
"Isn't it worth it to exchange her life for the peace of Wei Wan's herdsmen?" Shaman Path.
He held back his anger, drew his sword and slashed the shaman, but was blocked by the rain master singing, and the blades intersected, and the fire flashed.
"If you kill me, you won't be able to win this battle." Shamanic Dao.
Yushi persuaded by singing, "She is dead, do you want these hundreds of thousands of Donghu soldiers to bury her?" ”
"If you have a way to break the magic of the Bo Wei people, then you must have a way to get her back." Yuwen Zhonghong said.
The rain master's heart beats violently in song.
"I can't, coming back from the dead is against the avenue of heaven and earth, I can't do it." The shaman said. The rain master sang before his heart settled down.
She stepped out, took off the jeweled necklace around her neck, and reverently knelt in the sunlight, reciting the incantation.
After three or four days, Yuwen Zhonghong and Yushi rode into the Bo Xi military camp with long knives and killed all the Bo Xi army.
Yushi Chengge and Yuwen Zhonghong turned back to Liangzhou. The Manchu Dynasty civil and military, all celebrated the two.
The emperor issued an edict: Yuwen Zhonghong's achievements are very good, and the rewards should be excellent. He was named the king of the Southern Wei Dynasty.
Yuwen Zhonghong entered the court to thank him, and he was going to the Southern Wei Dynasty in a few days. Not long after, Master Yu came with a song, saying that His Majesty only gave him a reward and didn't care about him at all, he fought bravely to kill the enemy, and he also had strong merits.
Seeing him say this, Yuwen Zhonghong smiled and said, "After I leave, Your Majesty should soon pass on the throne to you." ”
The rain master stood in the courtyard of the Thirteen Princes' Mansion with a song, standing quietly.
To build the palace, he personally designed Zhonghong's mansion, the scale is very large, there is a gate in front, and there is a door when you enter.
Due north is a hall building, and the east and west are two annex buildings. There is a conservatory on the left and a conservatory on the right. There is a garden at the back.
He thought of the pond in Zhongtaige, and there was no place that he did not design.
At first, the hall was built, and the day of the beam was on the fifteenth day.
The rain master Chengge did not tell him that when the full moon was due south, the moonlight was received on the upper floor of the hall, and the balcony was touched under the moonlight. Looking closely at the upper beam of the east building, he asked someone to carve a red dragon around it, and on the upper beam of the west building, there is a black tiger sitting on its side. In his heart, the red dragon was Zhong Hong, and he himself was the black tiger. The two beasts look at each other, and they will never be separated.
What about creating a thousand years of achievements, what about getting a wife and a son, what he wants from the rain master to sing is never the name of the bamboo silk forever. He just wants to stay with him, no matter whether he lives or dies, he doesn't want to be separated from him.
He did not take over the throne of the king of Donghu as his father said, but gave it to Yushilu, and soon set off for the Southern Wei Dynasty.
Yushi came to Liangzhu in the Southern Wei Dynasty by song, and rode all the way to the palace, and the people in the palace did not dare to stop him, only him, Yuwen Zhonghong stood on the stone steps, and he looked at him.
"You asked you to come to me? With a sword, do you take me, the king of Southern Wei, seriously? Yuwen Zhonghong said with a smile.
Yushi Chengge also smiled, he sat on the horse, and saw that Yuwen Zhonghong did not blame him for leaving from Donghu, and his heart was already very happy.
Suddenly, Master Yu got off his horse and walked up to him, "Zhonghong, I have something to tell you. ”
"I know."
"I haven't said it yet, you can only know if I say it."
"If you don't say it, I know it, your eyes told me eight hundred years earlier."
Both laughed, as if going back to the days when they were children wrestling and riding horses.
The sound of rain outside the hall sounded quietly, and the falling flowers danced in the rain, falling to the ground and stained with cold mud.
The palace maid entered the palace to change incense, and after a while, she ran out of the hall with unsteady steps, "Emperor Taishang...... Emperor Taishang...... Collapsed ......"
