Text Chapter 200 Captain
Xia Cheng and Xia Fu's master and servant discussed for a long time, and finally made up their minds to move!
Although I feel that what Xia Yi said in his letter is a bit alarmist, if the situation is turbulent today, it is better to be cautious than to be negligent.
And so as not to be caught off guard when you get it.
"By the way, there's this book." Xia Cheng picked up another letter in his hand and said to the old housekeeper Xia Fu: "This is Yi'er's letter to Guan Changsheng."
Xia Fu looked at the words 'Immortal My Brother' on the cover of the book, but said: "The old slave didn't see anything special about Guan Changsheng, but he didn't know why the young master looked up to this person."
After a pause, Xia Fu said again: "Guan Changsheng is arrogant, has low eyes, and often causes trouble, what is his interest?"
Although there was no disdain in his words, he had doubts, and he didn't understand why Xia Yi valued Guan Yu so much.
When Xia Cheng heard this, he laughed and said, "I'm afraid Uncle Fu is looking away." Saying that, he stood up and said: "Before, I looked at this Guan Changsheng, not to mention anything else, just to talk about the martial arts realm, there are already six grades. He is only in his twenties now, and the method of cultivation is only the basic method that is widely spread by the side branch of the dragon, and it is not easy to have such ability. Young people have this ability, and it is natural for them to be arrogant.
As he spoke, he handed the book to Xia Fu and said, "Send someone to send this book to Xie County, since Yi'er values this person, he has his own reasons."
Xia Fu took the book with both hands and nodded: "Young master, since the Xia incident, he has never done anything unreliable... The old slave sent the book and silk to the widow.
In the county of Jiexian, near the west gate, a new grain shop was opened.
Outside the store, Guan Yu carried a basket of various grains into the store shirtless from the carriage, and an old woman saw off the guests, walked to the door, and looked at Guan Yu with a kind face, her expression was full of relief.
"I'm tired, let's rest.
Guan Yu showed a smile on his jujube-like face, and shook his head: "Don't be tired, mother, you rest first, and then come to serve your mother after the child finishes moving this cart of grain."
As she spoke, a young woman with a beautiful face came out with a jar of water: "Husband, take a drink of water and rest.
This is Guan Yu's wife, the Hu family.
Guan Yu took the jar and drank it all.
At this moment, someone shouted: "Guan Changsheng, Guan Changsheng!"
Guan Yu hurriedly went out and saw a person rushing over.
But it's the little brother next door.
The little brother next door came closely, took out a book from his arms and handed it to Guan Yu, and said, "Brother Changsheng, I asked Xi earlier that someone sent this book, and you happened to be not at home, so I will collect it on my behalf, no, I will send it to you immediately."
Guan Yu took the book, thanked him, turned back into the store, and opened the book.
Guan Yu watched, his eyes gradually condensed, and a slight excitement appeared on his face.
An old mother on the side asked, "My son, who is the scholar?"
"It's Xia Yixian's letter." Guan Yu's Danfeng eyes opened slightly, and there was a flash of light: "Mother, Jin Ding, I Guan Changsheng came to operate, and the opportunity to soar has arrived!"
When the two women heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned. Hu Shi hurriedly said, "What did little brother Xia Yi say?"
Guan Yu took a breath and said, "At the beginning, I agreed with Brother Xia Yixian that when he had a firm foothold in the army, I would go to help him.
In this epistle. Hu Shi reacted a little quickly, and hurriedly asked, his face full of inquiry.
Guan Yu nodded, laughed, and said, "Now Brother Xia Yixian is already a Sima of the First Army, and he has several soldiers and horses." He shook the book and said with a smile: "This letter to me is to ask me to go to Xiangsuke!"
The old mother couldn't help but say: "My son and the little brother of the Xia family have a good relationship, and now that I go, the little brother of the Xia family will definitely not treat my son badly."
When the two women heard this, their faces were overjoyed.
The Han Dynasty was at its peak, and the common people did not reject joining the army to fight. On the contrary, ordinary people's homes also regard serving in the army as the best step to advancement.
What's more, Guan Yu is gone, and there are people to take care of him.
According to what the two women thought, Guan Yu and Xia Yi are close, so isn't the future just around the corner?
Guan Yu nodded, but said: "Although there is Xia Yixian's brother to take care of, Guan is not a shameless person who opens the back door and takes shortcuts. Just with his own ability, he is fighting for a lintel!"
Guan Yu's arrogance comes from his bones.
If Xia Yi wants to open the back door for him, I'm afraid he won't want to do it in his heart.
Although this person has such and such shortcomings, he is undoubtedly an upright and upright person.
As the mother and son, husband and wife spoke, they gradually suppressed the excitement in their hearts. The old mother sighed and said, "My son is here, but he can't act recklessly, he must listen to the words of the little brother of the Xia family." With his colleagues, he can't have no one in his eyes, so as not to make the little brother of the Xia family look ugly. ”
Saying that, she paused, and said: "Our family, thanks to the help of the Xia family's little brother, we have a good life now, Changsheng, you can't be an ungrateful villain!"
Guan Yu nodded heavily: "Mother, don't you know the child's temperament?"
Guan Yu's grandfather's generation still had some status and family assets, but in his hands, the family completely declined. Since his father's death, he has been farming for a living, starving to death and not having enough to eat.
Since the acquaintance with Xia Yi, the situation has gradually improved.
Every time Xia Yi went to Guan Yu's house, he had gifts, either rice or meat. Especially after Xia Yi went to join the army a year ago, he also wrote back, funded his own funds, and helped Guan Yu open a grain shop in Xie County in the form of loans, which made Guan Yu's family's life completely better.
Especially two months ago, Guan Yu caused trouble for the sake of his friend's righteousness, if it weren't for Xia Cheng's help, I'm afraid Guan Yu would either be in prison or flee.
That's why I said that's what I said about my mother.
"Brother Xia Yi has helped me too much, I can't repay it, I have this ability and a life, so I put it into the hands of Brother Xian!" Guan Yu's face was solemn.
Then he said: "As mentioned in the letter, he is now leading his troops to be stationed in Dunhuang County. Between these letters, it has been some time, if I go straight to Dunhuang, if Xia Yixian leads the troops to march away, I am afraid that I will pounce until I am empty.
As he spoke, he pondered for a moment, and then said: "Brother Xia Yixian has withdrawn his troops from the Western Regions this time, and he will be stationed in Liangzhou. Or go to Longxi Linzhao as the southern governor, or go to Jincheng Linqiang as the western governor. Whether it is the southern governor or the western governor, they all have to pass through Wuwei. Mother, Jinding, I intend to leave tomorrow and go straight to Wuwei to wait. ”
"In such a hurry?"
"Time waits for no one." Guan Yu decisively.
"It's okay," Guan Mu said, "This is a good opportunity for my son, and I can't miss it." I'll clean up for my son tonight... It's just that my son is gone, but I don't know when I will be able to return home."
"The eldest husband is alive, and he is about to build a meritorious career with his own ability." Guan Yu looked heroic: "Mother, just watch, when the child is brocade, he will return to his hometown!"
Early the next morning, Guan Yu said goodbye to his mother and wife, touched the little heads of his son Guan Ping, who was not yet seven years old, and his son Guan Xing, who was only four years old, turned over and rode away.
After half a day, Guan Yu went to Wenxi first and went straight to Xia Yi's house, bowed to Xia Cheng, and then went to Anyi.
。 ”...
On the shore of the Yuanquan Underworld, in the camp of Xia Yi.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Xia Yi summoned a group of soldiers under his command and was discussing military affairs.
"Ben Sima just received a military order!"
Xia Yi's eyes were shining: "The general has been appointed as the governor of Bingzhou and the Taishou of Hedong, and he will go to his post soon." As for Ben Sima--"
Xia Yi paused for a moment and said, "The imperial edict makes me the governor of the west."
"Congratulations to Sima Gaosheng!"
All the soldiers stood up in unison to congratulate.
Xia Yi waved his hand: "The four Sima under the command of the general, I am the captain of the western part of Liangzhou, and I am the commander of Jincheng Linqiang, and I am responsible for supervising the Qiang barbarians in the Zhongcun area in the southwest of Liangzhou." The former army Li urged Sima to be the southern lieutenant, stationed in Linzhao, Longxi, and supervised the suppression of the Qiang barbarians in the southeast of Liangzhou. The right army Guo Yan Sima is the lieutenant of the right Fufeng County, and the troops are stationed in Chen Cang. Niu Fu Sima of the Left Army went to Hedong with the general.
"The army is waiting to listen to the order, and from now on, the army will be drawn out, and the target is Jincheng Linqiang."
"Whoa!"
Outside the county, the dragon mountain on the shore of the shuaishui, the dragon clan land.
On the top of the mountain, between the layers of clouds and mist, there is a dragon churning. Jiaolong's huge dragon body looms, and no one knows how many there are. The heavy dragon power overwhelmed all directions, enveloping the entire Fenglong Mountain Range.
Beneath the clouds, above the top of the mountain, an ancient hall loomed in the clouds, and an ethereal smell of dust jumped in front of me, like a fairyland temple.
In the main hall, there was a grand sound echoing, but there was no trace of it outside the hall.
Xuan Jiaowei found out that Zhang Jiao of Taiping Road agreed to unveil the incident on the fifth day of the first month of March. Clan elders and hall masters, chaos is about to arise, where will my Fenglong clan go this time?"
The voice was very heavy, and between the words it was like a mountain pouring down, majestic and heavy.
"The head of the family, there is nothing wrong with the strategy that my Dragon Clan has adhered to for more than 3,000 years."
"Is there a way to get born?"
"That's exactly how it should be. What is the obstacle to this struggle for power and profit between ants in my dragon clan? Let him go. ”
The general meaning of all the high-level people in the hall is the same, that is, to sit upright and watch the play. Just like every change of dynasty over the past 3,000 years, we have watched from the sidelines.
"Many children of the new generation of the clan have their own arrangements, and it is up to them to see how far they can go. As long as we ensure that after the establishment of the new dynasty, there will be my children of the Fenglong clan in the court, and there is no need to care about the high position.
"Exactly.
The head of the family sat upright, his figure looming, and listened silently.
After all the clan elders and hall masters finished speaking, the hall was quiet again, and then he spoke: "I want to take the initiative this time." The clan has more support for the children of the army and politics.
"Active? What does the head of the house mean?"
"The main body of the clan remains transcendent. However, those children can be given some material help as appropriate. ’
"Since it is the intention of the head of the family, we have no objection.
"That's it." The head of the family said lightly: "The Qinwu Hall is responsible for this matter, and it must be helped according to the potential of each child.
"Obey the orders of the head of the house.
"Alright, let's all disperse.
The majestic body of the head of the family slowly stood up, and the huge power distorted the space and light around him, and it looked blurry.
After a while, the figures on the left and right sides of the hall disappeared one after another, leaving only the head of the family standing quietly on the hall.
"Hey. The great world is coming.."
Since receiving the edict, Xia Yi pulled out the camp from Yuanquan, and the army galloped all the way, passing Jiuquan and Zhangye, and entered the territory of Wuwei at the turn of late January and February.
"Sima, there is Gu Zang in front."
Xia Yi rode and his generals wandered left and right, and Lin Dong, the military officer, pointed to the behemoth city that was faintly visible in the distance, like a giant beast, and said: "Go south through Guzang, with the current marching speed of our department, you can reach Jincheng in five days at most."
"Five days?" Xia Yi pondered for a moment and said: "Pass my general's order, the army will speed up, camp in Guzang, repair for two days, replenish supplies, and after two days, go south to Jincheng!"
"Whoa!
Xia Yi's 5,000 soldiers and horses were all cavalry, and all the way through, the smoke and dust rose like yellow clouds, and the momentum was huge, which soon attracted the attention of the defenders in Guzang City. However, Xia Yi sent scouts to Tongyu early, so as soon as he arrived in Guzang, he settled in the camp prepared by the defenders, avoiding the trouble of setting up camp again.
When he arrived in the camp, he immediately gathered his troops and horses. The soldiers and horses of all units were neatly arrayed in the school field, except for the neighing of their mounts, the soldiers and generals were silent.
Returning all the way from the Western Regions, it was like an ultra-long-distance training, in this process, Xia Yi never relaxed the training matters, making the soldiers and horses under his command more and more elite and strong, although they were dusty, but they were in good spirits.
Standing on the platform, Xia Yi stood by the sword, his eyes were substantial, he swept the stage, and saw that the army was neat, so he bowed his head slightly with satisfaction, and said: "Since the beginning of the Jiaohe River, our department has marched more than 200,000 miles, which took nearly a month, and there is a lot of fatigue. This time, we camped here and repaired for two days to reshape the army. The day before, the soldiers of all units were allowed to move freely, but they were not allowed to make trouble, and those who violated the military law were dealt with! The next day, he returned to the camp and straightened out the army.
After that, Xia Yi said again; "The troops of each department will stay, and the rest of the generals will move into the camp first, waiting for the orders of the various armies.
"Whoa!"
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Xia Yi is at the top, and Xia Zhen, Xia Ying, Cheng Ying, Li Da, Xu Rong, Lin Dong and other military candidates are all sitting on the left and right under the tent.
"It's been a long journey, and I haven't wasted training." Xia Yi said with a smile: "Now the soldiers and horses under my command have the momentum of elite soldiers, and this is all thanks to you."
"Sima Muzan!"
The armies did not dare to do so.
Xia Yi bowed slightly, and said: "Although this is the case, after a long journey, the soldiers are tired. On the first day, let them relax, but after you go down, you must be instructed to do so, lest these rough men make trouble in the city, and I will not be able to explain to the governor of Guzang County.
"Sima rest assured, the end will be saved!
"Hmm." Xia Yi nodded: "But most of the soldiers can rest, but you can't." The various supplies carried by the army have bottomed out and must be replenished here. The Governor of Guzang County had already told me that the Liangzhou Thorn History Department had already issued an order, and Guzang County had also prepared the corresponding materials, and after you waited, you would immediately go to receive it.
"Alright, let's all disperse." Xia Yi waved his hand.
When the army dispersed, only Xia Yi was left in the tent.
"It's almost February, and if the course of the world's historical events is the same as I remember, then the Yellow Turban Rebellion is just around the corner.
"I don't know if my father has received my letter, if the family has moved, the Yellow Turban Rebellion is just around the corner, if there is no protection from the main line, Fulong Village is afraid. I still have a feather, and I don't know when he will be able to vote for me.
Thinking of these, Xia Yi was a little apprehensive in his heart.
He was not worried that his father would not agree with the relocation policy, after all, since the age of twelve, most of Xia Yi's opinions to his father have been adopted. What he was really afraid of was that his father didn't receive the book, so that the Yellow Turban tide would be together, and the fate of Fulong Village would be unpredictable. However, Xia Yi also had a little confidence, after all, the yellow scarf had not risen, and the post stations in various places were still in good working condition and had not been destroyed.
In fact, it's just a worry in my heart, and if I care too much, it's easy to think cranky.
As for Guan Yu, if he received the letter, he must have left home at this time.
Shaking his head and throwing these thoughts away, Xia Yi thought about the situation he was facing now.
Let's talk about Xia Zhuo first.
Earlier, Xia Zhuo sent a military order, saying that he had been appointed as the governor of the state and the leader of the Hedong Taishou, which was clearly the result of the game between all parties.
If the normal procedure was followed, it would never be possible for the Imperial Dynasty to put Xia Zhuo in the east of the river, because it was the territory of the Fenglong Xia clan.
Letting Xia Zhuo enter the east of the river is no different from letting the tiger return to the mountain.
Presumably, the main vein has made a great effort in it!
Xia Yi deeply knew that with the background of the main vein, even if the clan did not interfere deeply in the government and politics, there were not many chess pieces that could be used, but as long as the main vein made up his mind, it would not be difficult to promote this matter.
Since Xia Zhuo has come to this point, his power will expand rapidly!
Coupled with the fact that Xia Yi's department, Li Yu's department, and Guo Yan's department are each on one side, leading an army alone, you can predict how big Xia Zhuo's energy will be in the future!
"I seem to remember that in the early days of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Xia Zhuo didn't participate in the war... Xia Yi pondered: "Presumably, the imperial dynasty is also afraid of Xia Zhuo, afraid that Xia Zhuo will take the opportunity of the Yellow Turban Rebellion to have a greater voice in the court.
"However, it seems that the other generals sent by the Imperial Dynasty were either defeated by the Yellow Turban, or had other accidents, so the Imperial Dynasty had to use Xia... It seems that Xia Zhuo is defeated?!"
Xia Yi frowned.
His original memories of his previous life were already a little blurry. After all, it has been more than ten years since I came to this world. Therefore, some details are missing.
"Well, why think so much? Since the time when Xia Zhuo may participate in the war is still ahead, then I don't have to worry too much about it. When the time comes, it will naturally understand. Besides, now nominally, I have no affiliation with Xia Zhuo, and if the emperor sends Xia Zhuo to recruit the Yellow Turban, Xia Zhuo will not recruit me on the bright side.
"Let's go to Jincheng first to gain a firm foothold.
"Jincheng, there are mainly Qiang people, needless to say, most of them have been tamed. The really tricky thing is the Shengqiang hiding in the deep mountains and old forests.
"These barbarians do not obey the king, they are wild and untamable, and they often plunder and attack, and there is no difference between them and the Beidi barbarians, and they must be ruthless."
Just as Xia Yi was thinking about how to act in Jincheng, the voice of a personal soldier came from outside the tent: "Sima!"
Xia Yi came back to his senses: "What's the matter?"
"There is a person outside the camp, who claims to be an old acquaintance of Sima, and has come to defect."
"Oh?!"
When Xia Yi heard this, he raised his eyebrows, and his face showed surprise: "It must be Guan Yu!"
Then he got up and strode out of the big tent: "Follow me to meet you!"
Outside the camp gate, Guan Yu was dressed in a green robe, carrying a burden, and his face still had a frosty look.
"It's a shame that I'm in a hurry, but I'm finally in a hurry. If it's two or three days late, I'm afraid I'll miss it. Guan Yu was secretly happy in his heart.
As soon as he arrived in Guzang today, he got off the airship and immediately inquired around to see if any troops from the Western Regions had returned from the Western Regions passing by, and he happened to smell the movement of Xia Yi's army.
So he hurriedly rushed to the barracks and explained his intention to the soldiers guarding the camp gate.
When the soldiers went to Tongyu, Guan Yu pressed down and waited outside the camp gate. At the same time, he was also secretly observing the state of the guards.
But after a while, I heard footsteps coming in a hurry, and when I looked up, I saw Xia Yi wearing a helmet and armor, dressed in a mighty uniform, striding over!
"Brother!"
Xia Yi saw it clearly, it was Guan Yu in person, he couldn't hide the joy on his face, laughed, and stepped forward to give Guan Yu a bear hug: "It's finally here, I'm in a hurry!"
Guan Yu laughed; "As soon as I received your letter, I rushed over, but I almost missed it."
"Just arrived?" Zhou Yu took Guan Yu's shoulders and walked towards the camp together.
