Chapter 167: The Battle of Yiling (16)

(Foreword)

Cold ice can't break the water, and dead wood can meet spring again. [No pop-ups. 】

At this time, the wind is strong and the sand and dust are raised.

Cui Li's eyes were like torches, holding the knife horizontally, and waving it with the trend, although it was not as magnificent as Fang Shuran, but it was also quite a bit of a posture, and when the knife was closed, the sand and stone stopped, and a few big characters appeared on the ground.

'The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, the waves are sweeping away the heroes, the success or failure of right and wrong is empty, the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. ’

"Cui Li, I can't see that you still have such ability." I exclaimed softly.

"That is, when I was a child, I often used a mop to practice calligraphy in cleaning, which seems to come in handy." Cui Li was triumphant.

However, although Cui Li's calligraphy is also neat, it is still a little immature when put together with Fang Shuran, and it is easy to see who is high and who is low, but after all, we have all tried our best.

"Your Excellency's calligraphy is exquisite, the pen is vigorous, beyond our reach, today to see this, it is worth this trip, don't pass by." We were about to leave.

"Wait, can you tell me what font Cui Shuai's book is? Why is it so familiar, yet so different? Fang Shuran's eyes widened.

"It's something I wrote by feeling, it's not a good idea, but it's nothing special. It's still a bit far from your calligraphy. Cui Li replied honestly.

"No, no, no. I have searched for all kinds of calligraphy in my life, but I have never seen such calligraphy. Fang Shuran said and took a few steps closer and carefully considered it.

I looked at Fang Shuran's expression of amazement, it turned out to be like this, and I suddenly realized. It's just that we are negligent and forget that this is not modern but ancient, no wonder Fang Shuran has never seen such calligraphy. I don't know what to say now.

"Cheng Yin, what's wrong with him? I didn't write as well as him, but there was nothing worth making such a fuss about. Cui Li said in my ear.

"You can't blame him either, look at the difference in the calligraphy you write compared to his?" I looked at the two fonts on the ground.

"What's the difference? Don't... I was negligent..."Cui Li suddenly shouted.

It seemed that Cui Li already knew why Fang Shuran was so amazed. It's better to leave quickly, if he asks, it's really hard to answer.

Sure enough, just as we were about to leave again.

Fang Shuran stopped us. "Guys, you haven't answered the next question, do you want to leave?"

"Wouldn't it be nice if you won, why don't you let us leave?" Cui Li said angrily.

"That's it, I know that I can't reach you, and I just leave, why do I want to stop it, what's the purpose?" The blacksmith was even more angry, brandishing the Celestial Dragon Spear in his hand and shouting.

But at this time, Fang Shuran was obviously stunned when he saw the blacksmith. After a while, he returned to his usual demeanor: "This strong man, what do you have in your hand?" ”

"How's it going? What does it have to do with you? The blacksmith roared.

Fang Shuran obviously wanted to say something more at this time, but he still didn't say it.

Does he know the blade? Did the weak scholar whom the blacksmith spoke know him? More doubts came to mind.

"Specializing in calligraphy, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there are many calligraphy fonts lost to the world. In the next wish to do his best, the collection of calligraphy strengths, written into a book, spread to the world. Fang Shuran's tone no longer had the previous spirit, like a student who is eager to learn. Your calligraphy is unheard of and unseen. I don't know if I can ask a question or two? ”

"It's really nothing. This one... In fact... It's just that... Simplified. Cui Li's words were full of embarrassment. In other words, 'modern simplified' cannot be said to be a calligraphy font. But in ancient times, I had never seen it.

"'Simplified'. Originally, this type of calligraphy was called 'simplified'. Sure enough, the words in your handwriting are different from the crowd and simplified. Subtle, really subtle. Fang Shuran was full of praise.

"And this competition? Who wins and who loses? Cui Li seems to see the hope of winning again.

"Cui Shuaijiang, why do you say this, the words written by Your Excellency are rare in the world, such as the glory of the sun and the moon, and the breadth of the rivers, which is not as good as sighing below. Your Excellency wins. Fang Shuran put away the folding fan.

To be honest, I didn't expect this result. It's all about winning. It's unbelievable.

"So you mean it's going to help us get out of the gates?" Cui Li asked again.

"Although it is not Ji Bu in Xia, how can there be any reason to take back what can be said, and when it comes to going out of the city, you should do your best in Xia."

"Great!! We can leave Gangneung City!! Cui Li seemed to be a little overjoyed.

"General Cui Shuai, I once recommended three, but now I only have one person to help, I'm afraid it's not time to celebrate." The blacksmith poured cold water on it.

"Of course I haven't forgotten, I'm just happy first." Cui Li replied.

In any case, the three people recommended by the blacksmith before were all brave people, and the three of them were comparable to three thousand fine horses, and one of them just saw knew that what the blacksmith said was true, and if he could really get the help of the three of them, he might really be able to break out of the city gate.

"General Cui Shuai, there is one more thing to ask you for next." Fang Shuran said politely.

"Just say, as long as I can do it, I will help." Cui Li is still in a happy state.

"Please also ask Your Excellency to give me some advice on the calligraphy you wrote before." Fang Shuran said sincerely.

"What's so hard about that. When we leave this Gangneung City, I will teach you this 'simplified Chinese'. ”

"Thank you!"

I looked at our current team, me, Cui Li, blacksmith, and Fang Shuran.

I felt a force, and if I found the other two, I felt unstoppable.

"Fang Shuran, where are you in the World Chess Pavilion?" The blacksmith asked suddenly.

"Why don't you know the World Chess Pavilion?" Tomorrow I will lead you there.

The sky was darkening again, and it seemed that the day was about to pass again. This time really doesn't pass very quickly.

Four words came to my mind: Tianxia Chess Pavilion.

Jingzhou, it is generally believed that during the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jingzhou originally governed seven counties: Nanyang County, Nan County, Jiangxia County, Lingling County, Guiyang County, Wuling County, Changsha County, after the Battle of Chibi, the seven counties of Jingzhou that the soldiers must fight for were divided by Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan, Cao Cao occupied the largest Nanyang County in the north of Jingzhou, Sun Quan got Jiangxia County and Nan County, and Liu Bei got four counties in the south of Jingzhou (Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, Wuling). Liu Bei's military security was not conducive to development, so he proposed to Sun Quan twice to borrow the southern county of Jingzhou, and Eastern Wu Lusu persuaded Sun Quan to temporarily lend the southern county to Liu Bei, so Liu Bei had five counties of Jingzhou (Nanjun, Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, and Wuling).
