Chapter 32: The Beacon Hengqin (2)
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Jiang An's eyes became solemn, and he turned around and paced in the hall, everyone was like this, knowing that he must have thought of something tricky, and he also held his breath and didn't dare to say a word, for a long time, Jiang An turned his head to look at Zuo Shikun, "Zuo City Lord, do you know how many people are talking about Yin?" ”
Zuo Shikun was stunned, knowing what Prince Jiang An was worried about, he groaned slightly, and replied in a deep voice, "It's about the same as Xinwu, about more than 30,000." ”
"Thirty thousand ......" Jiang An groaned, clenched his fists, and muttered, "Thirty thousand people...... This is ......," he turned around, "how much is Shingo?" How much time does it take to transport each other by polyester? When the city of Liaoyin is broken, can it all be moved to Xinwu? ”
Yan Qingsong heard this, a look of surprise flashed across his face, he looked at Jiang An who was groaning in front of him steadily, knelt down and bowed, "The prince is benevolent and righteous, loves the people like a son, Qingsong worships." If the prince is the king of the other day, he will be a generation of kings! Hearing this, Jiang An was shocked, then turned around and said coldly, "Sir, today, you have talked a lot." Yan Qingsong was slightly stunned, his eyes rolled to know what the prince was worried about, got up and chuckled at the corner of his mouth, and said no more.
Zuo Shikun saw that his words were rebellious, and he knew that he was as smart as a green pine, and he must have persuaded the prince to establish himself as a king more than once, and this is also the intention of disclosing it here. He coughed a few times, and Zhengse replied, "If you go back to the prince, there are about 50 boats in Xinwu, each of which can carry more than 200 people, and if you don't delay, you can move all the people of Liaoyin to Xinwu in about five days." Jiang An listened, his eyes closed slightly, and he muttered, "Five days ......" His hand trembled slightly, and he clenched the teacup tightly.
Han Yi looked south with a sad face, "I don't know if that chattering yin town can survive five days!" Jiang An raised his head, "Perhaps, before coming here, I flew a pigeon to pass a letter to the lord of the city of Liaoyin, and ordered him to raise fire to burn dozens of miles of grass and trees, cut off the source of lemon food, and leave two thousand soldiers to cross Hengqin at night at the Jinliang place upstream, and go around behind the enemy army, cut off their supplies, five days, it should be no problem." ”
Hearing this, Han Yi's face instantly showed joy, and he hurriedly bowed his hand, "The prince is wise and benevolent, and Donglai is lucky!" Jiang An turned around and waved his hand, "You and I have known each other for several years, do you still need compliments?" He glanced at everyone and saw that there were only four of them in the hall, a little strange, and said in surprise, "In Xinwu City, where is the deputy general?" ”
Zuo Shikun sighed when he heard this, his face was sad, "The deputy general has been suddenly infected with a strange illness recently, and time is running out in the blink of an eye, the previous situation was critical, and it was difficult to find a replacement for a while." ”
After Jiang An listened, he was stunned, his hand holding the teacup stopped in mid-air, closed his eyes and lamented the impermanence of the world, and said that he would visit in a few days.
Zuo Shikun stood aside at this time, without saying a word, Jiang An glanced at him, saw him raise his hand slightly, his lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something but swallowed it back, wondering in his heart, "What does the city lord of Zuo have a high opinion, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Zuo Shikun's face was sad and hesitated slightly, "It's okay to move to Xinwu, but it's only 30,000 people, which is equivalent to my Xinwu people, and this method of resettlement ......"
Without waiting for Jiang An to answer, Han Yijing stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "City Lord, you can rest assured, 30,000 homeless people, the war is pouring out, and the imperial court will open a warehouse for disaster relief, and I can't help you, the new city lord." Hearing that he deliberately dragged the four words of the Xinwu City Lord to a long time, Zuo Shikun was ashamed and hurriedly covered up, "General Han is serious......
"Hmph." Han Yi sneered, turned around and walked forward, standing behind Jiang An, and no longer bothered him. Yan Qingsong glanced at the three people in the hall, laughed, shook his feather fan lightly, stepped forward to cover the picture on the wall, looked back and asked, "Then this is the end of today's discussion?" Seeing Jiang An smile and nodded, yawned, turned around and sat in front of the desk, and sighed, "Recently, the military situation has been urgent, and the dust is blowing, and the tired bones are falling apart!" ”
Zuo Shikun raised his hand and pointed at Yan Qingsong, laughed heartily, and quipped, "It's my Xinwu who snubbed your guests!" I saw him raise his hand slightly, high-five him three times in the air, and before the applause fell, he saw several women covering their faces with light veils, with a light posture, curling Tingting slowly up with a meal, kneeling in front of several people's desks, setting up the dinner, and saying softly, "My lord, please." Jiang An glanced at the woman kneeling in front of her, and pulled off her veil, she was slightly frightened, and instinctively shrank back, Jiang An turned his eyes to look at Zuo Shikun, and said with a smile, "When I lived in Wanzhou, I heard people talk about women in the south, with beautiful faces, and the colors of various countries are fragrant. Zuo Shikun took a bite of the meal in front of him, waved his big hand, and said loudly, "If the prince likes it, he will stay in bed tonight." Jiang An turned his head to look at the woman in front of him, saw a trace of panic in her eyes, waved his hand, and chuckled, "That's it, it's a long journey, wearing stars and moons, tonight is really tired." That Han Yi hugged the woman in front of him and laughed, "The prince is tired, and the spirit of this general is very good!" Yan Qingsong glanced at Han Yi ambiguously, chuckled at the corner of his mouth, took the wine handed by the woman beside him, raised his head and drank it all.
When the wine was half-drunk, suddenly a person went up to the hall, and after saluting everyone, he leaned over and whispered a few words in Zuo Shikun's ear, Zuo Shikun listened, waved his hand to order him to retreat, turned his head to Jiang An, and said with a smile, "I don't know if the prince has ever heard of a strange woman in Donglai, known as Cui Jinniang, who is unparalleled in style?" ”
"Oh?" Jiang An was puzzled, shook his head, and turned his head to look at Han Yi and Yan Qingsong, "Both of them are older than Jiang An and have rich experience, I don't know if you have heard of them?" I saw Yan Qingsong thinking slightly, and suddenly the feather fan slapped on the case, his eyes showed joy, and he asked Zuo Shikun, "But fifteen years ago, the famous pipa master Cui Jinniang that the king personally summoned?" Zuo Shikun took a sip of wine, smiled, and nodded. That's it! Yan Qingsong laughed suddenly, "If it is in the city lord's mansion, I hope that the city lord will be generous and introduce me, so that I can wait for the sound of heaven." ”
"Cui Jinniang?" Jiang An was puzzled, "Fifteen years ago, Jiang An must not know, I would like to hear about it." He turned to look at Qing Song, "Sir, can you tell me?" ”
Qingsong took a sip of wine and said slowly, "The prince doesn't know, the former Jin Niang pipa, Donglai is a must, fifteen years ago the king was personally summoned, asking for the court musician, how can Jin Niang push that the homeland is deep, unwilling to leave the hometown, so give up, the king feels its nature, so the inscription is unparalleled." ”
"Oh?" Jiang An raised his head in surprise, flipped the empty cup in his hand, and groaned, "Unparalleled elegance? The father personally inscribed it, and that is truly unique. ”
When everyone sighed, they only heard Zuo Shikun high-five three times, and a middle-aged woman turned out after the brocade, dressed in jinghai cloth, with low eyebrows and eyes, as if she was extremely shy, holding a pipa in her hand, covering half of her face, and after curtsiding, she sat down on the chair brought by the next person. Everyone wondered for a while, although Xinwu is a small city, it is also extremely rich, the city lord's mansion, even the subordinates are all over the silk, why is the peerless Cui Jinniang, who is famous in Donglai, but she is dressed in plain clothes, black and white, and no color? When he was wondering, the people in the hall picked their fingers lightly and pulled a sound, like a roar of stormy waves when the sea and sky were in the sky, pulling everyone's thoughts back. The moment she raised her head slightly, everyone couldn't help but gasp, "Oh my God! This voice is not admiration, not admiration, but a little frightened. The moment they looked up, everyone saw clearly, the woman's face was densely covered with knife marks, criss-crossed, terrifying, and her eyes seemed to have been burned by a hot soldering iron, and the upper and lower eyelids were sticky, and when they opened them with great effort, their eyes were dull and gloomy, staring at everything in front of them hollowly. As if she heard everyone's startled inhalation, she didn't care much, raised her head and smiled slightly, "The prince is not surprised, Jin Niang has been blind for many years, and now she is just a crippled human ear, and it is a blessing to be able to get a pipa for the prince today." ”
Jiang An laughed when he heard this, "Madame is serious, in the past, my father's inscription was unparalleled, and today Jiang An is fortunate to hear the sounds of heaven." When the woman heard this, she was slightly stunned, and then laughed lightly, "I heard that the prince sent troops to live in Ning, and today I will listen to Jin Niang's song "Wen Zhan", and I hope that the prince will win this trip and triumph as soon as possible." After finishing speaking, the ten fingers were slightly opened, the pipa was attached, and the shaft plucked the strings three or two times, and there was love before the tune. The sound of the pipa started, the sound of breathing was full, I saw Cui Jinniang's slender hand flipped, the golden light flashed between her fingers, the pipa whimpered at the beginning, as if it was suppressed, like the twilight clouds hanging low, the blue water condensed the ice, suddenly raised your hand to watch out for a stroke, the four strings were torn like gold silk, and in an instant the silver bottle was cracked, the water slurry burst out, the iron horse was prominent, and the knife and gun were neighing. The pipa is low again, in a trance like Rong Di last night, knocking on my Yanmen Pass, climbing my Shizhang City, and like thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, Kyushu beacon fire. The sound of the pipa is from the Lingling, as thin as the spring is silent, the stream is condensed, the hands are criss-crossed, the sound is like a gold bead falling on the plate, just like a war song singing, ten miles to send the king, and like laughing and drunk on the battlefield, the smoke burns all over at the beginning. At the end of the song, everyone was stunned, the wine in the cup was still cold, but they only felt that the blood in their hearts was churning, and they almost wanted to leap horses and carry guns to chase Rong Di.
Jiang An listened, held the wine glass shallowly, frowned slightly, and sighed lightly for a long time, "Jin Niang has a pipa in one hand, peerless elegance, and it is really unparalleled in the world!" He got up and arched his hand, "Today, I am fortunate to hear it, feel the love of Jin Niang, and I will fight on the battlefield and play a triumphant song!" ”
When the woman heard this, a smile of relief appeared on her face covered with knife wounds, and she bowed on her knees and said in a low voice, "May I be Donglai for a thousand generations." "I took the pipa with me and retreated.
Yan Qingsong was immersed in the pipa sound, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, frowned, and asked Zuo Shikun in confusion, "Xinwu is the residence of Jin Niang?" How could she ......" Before Qing Song finished speaking, he heard Han Yi's thick voice, "Happy!" Interrupting his words, Qing Song raised his eyes and smiled, Han Yi turned to look back at Zuo Shikun, and sighed, "Jinniang Pipa is unparalleled," he paused and shivered, "It's just that this appearance, I have been on the battlefield for many years, and I still feel cold, I don't know how it has changed, an old woman can be hurt so much!" ”
Jiang An raised his eyes to look at Zuo Shikun, his eyes were sharp, he twisted the golden cup in his hand, and said slowly, "Such injuries, if I am not mistaken, should be caused by the prisoner." ”
