Finish eating and drinking. Wen Lie settled the disciples, finished this batch of business, and went back to Jiangli County to wait for him at home. It is estimated that it will be over in more than a month, and the matter of going to Chang'an by myself will basically be over.

The disciples resigned themselves and bid farewell to the master.

Son Wen Yingban was a little reluctant, his black face was the same as his father, and he looked darker at this time, and said: "Dad, I want to follow you, I always feel uncomfortable in my heart." Let me follow you. ”

Wen Walker held his son's hand: "It's okay, isn't this still your fifth uncle?"

Ding Kaiban came over and said, "Master, why don't you let your junior brother follow you, there is not much red membranaceus left for the two of us, I can do it myself." ”

Li Zhenban came over, wearing a green robe and a white face.

He also pleaded for the two senior brothers: "Let both of them follow, the remaining bit of red membranaceus, the four of us will sell it out." ”

The other disciples said the same thing. Wen Lie saw that there was indeed not much left of Hongqi, so he agreed, and asked them to pay the account, count the goods, make a list, and sign each other. I figured it out, and took my eldest disciple Ding Kaiban and my son Wen Yingban, a group of four people, looking forward to Chang'an.

The four horses, on the sixth night of leaving Qingzhou, arrived in Chang'an City.

Inquire about Han Yu's mansion, in Jing'anfang. There is another villa in the east of Weiqu.

Qi Diao muttered again: "The old man has two homes, and he wants to be bored and killed?"

Ding Kaiban and Wen Yingban also felt at a loss. After all, this matter is too urgent to be searched for. Let's look for it for a few days, if something happens, we'll come in vain.

Wen Lie thought for a while and said: "Such a formal envoy, the government and the opposition are shaken, he will never stay in the villa, he must be in Jing'anfang." We went to Jing'anfang to ask, if we walked through, then we didn't ask the route, we no longer looked for a villa, and ran directly to the road in front of him to wait. ”

That's it. The four of them went straight to Jing'anfang.

When I arrived at the Han Mansion, I questioned the doorman, and at first I was hesitant. Qi Diao hurriedly took out Xue Fu's letter, and the door official read it, so he said that he would leave this morning. What can you people do?

Wen Lie was extremely impatient with the virtue of this door official, pulled the lacquer carving and left, and shouted: "Okay, let's go, let's go, don't ask." ”

Suddenly, someone inside asked, "Who is outside the door, why don't you let them in?"

The doorman hurriedly responded: "A few people, holding Xue Servant's letter, said that it was the envoy of the guard. ”

With a "squeak", the door opened, and a white-bearded man in his fifties stepped out, clasped his fists at the four, and said, "Friend, I'm the housekeeper Han Che, Kuaiketang is talking." Hurry up and please. ”

Han Che, the brother of Han Yu's own clan, has been hired as a housekeeper in the house for fifteen years, and there has never been a mistake.

Entering the door, entering the courtyard four deep, the front two courtyards are all transparent, there is no moon door, it seems very wide. There are seven rooms in the east and west areas, and there are wings on both sides. Then to the back two courtyards, there are also east and west wings. All the houses in the whole courtyard are two-storey, with blue bricks and white seams, carved beams and painted buildings.

The back hall is the butler's guest hall, and the four of them sit down. Several maids brought water and facial towels one after another, and asked a few to simply wash their faces and dust off. Han Che hurriedly made good tea for the four of them.

The lacquer carving was washed again, took a step forward, gave a deep salute, and said: "Runan County abandoned the county order, and the Rongzhou servant lacquer carving again, according to the secret order of Xue Servant, and the fourth brother of the righteousness, Xiping County, the town general Wenlie, and his disciples and sons, came to guard the squire to envoy Cheng Dejun. Lat is a letter from Xue Fu. ”

Han Che took Xue Ping's letter, read it carefully, and immediately burst into tears, and said, "My brother has been hunting on behalf of the sky this time, and the whole court is shocked. I didn't expect to disturb Xue Servant, please run so far to come to guard. Han Che thanked his brother on behalf of him. My brother set off this morning, and he must have arrived in Hezhong Mansion. ”

"Gee, that's got to go, or you won't be able to catch up. When Wen Lie heard this, he immediately couldn't sit still.

Qi Diao was not in a hurry, and asked: "Lakha is an envoy, what arrangements does the waiter have for his personal safety?"

Yuan Xiangye, Pei Xiangye and many other generals persuaded his brother to bring more people, but he was not afraid, saying that the fewer people he brought, the safer he was. There were only five people in the group. The four retinues are: the one who carries the flag, the one who holds the symbol, the one who opens the way, and the one who is behind the palace. Alas, there is nothing to be done. Han Che couldn't help but sigh.

Saying this, the maid brought hot noodles, and while the four of them were eating, the lacquer carving calmed down and explained to Han Che the guard plan of dividing Xue Servant's archery into two ways.

Han Che was very moved and said, "Why didn't we think of this, it's a good plan." Thank you Xue for your thoughtfulness. Stay and rest tonight, and go early tomorrow. Brother, they won't go too fast, you guys hurry up, there's no problem chasing after them. ”

The basic situation was asked clearly, and Qi Diao comforted the fourth brother not to worry, sleep well in the Shilang Mansion tonight, and leave before dawn tomorrow. By tomorrow evening, we will definitely be able to catch up.

Wen Lie also understood the details, so he had to agree to stay. Han Che arranged for four people to live in the side room of the living room.

The next day, the four of them got up together. It's not dawn yet, why do you get up so early?

They are all generals under the Huaixi Festival, and they have been used to it for many years. Therefore, you don't need to be called, and you can naturally get up early.

Before leaving, Han Che gave Qi Diaohui another Kunwu sword, which was his self-defense.

In addition to sharpening iron like clay, this sword also has the advantage that no matter how you use it, it will not break. It can also be coiled around the waist, as long as it is pulled out, it will immediately bounce straight.

This sword has two handles, male and female, and it was given to Han Shilang by Guo Hua of Shangzhu State in that year. Han Shilang transferred the female sword to Han Che and wore the male sword for self-defense. As long as the squire sees the Kunwu sword, he must know that it is his own person.

The lacquer carving thanked him again and put the sword away.

Han Che saw Ding Kaiban's one-armed, felt pity, and took out a chain copper hammer as a gift, and taught the basic usage. Although this chain copper hammer is only twelve catties, he is a soft weapon, once entangled, it will take away your blade in an instant. The hammer turns and beats you until your bones are broken.

Ding Kaiban knelt down to thank him, and the four of them said goodbye to Han Che with tears and went to chase after Han Shilang.

However, it was said that Han Huizhi sent an envoy to the German army, and set off yesterday at midnight, and walked 300 miles in one day to Hezhong Mansion. A group of five people did not disturb Hezhong Mansion Yin, but lived in the post post, and they were still open at the same time today.

But seeing Han Yu and Han retreating, he is now a squire in the military department. He wore the official uniform of the four-rank general, the vermilion small branch (small group flower) Ayaluo, the round-necked narrow-sleeved robe, the waist was tied with an eleven gold belt, the head wore a flat scarf, and the waist wore a silverfish bag.

Five locks of white beard, sparsely drooping. The eyebrows are raised, and the face is ruddy. With a huge and fat waist, Pei Kunwu male sword, riding a white dragon horse, pressed the horse to flicker. Enjoy the flowers and see the scenery all the way, not hurrying or slow, and march to Taiyuan Mansion.

The guards who opened the way at the front and behind the palace were Wei Chigan and Ge Shurong, who were subordinate to the son of the Emperor today. The banners and charms are Han Yu's subordinate officials Tang Hui and Guo Jun.

All four of them are in their thirties, and they are young and vigorous.

Yu Chi Gan, the word Xiangfu. Ancestor Wei Chi Jingde is the founding general of my Tang Dynasty and one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion. He was born white and pure, and finally won glory for the ancestors of the famous Black Charcoal Regiment.

Brother Shurong, the word is mutually beneficial. It is the grandson of the famous general Xiping County King and the left servant of the school to shoot Brother Shuhan. Geshuhan is the nemesis of the Tubo Dynasty, and the people in the western border have a good reputation, singing: "The Big Dipper is high, and Geshu carries a knife at night." So far, I have peeped at the herding horses and dare not pass Lintao. ”

It's a pity that the Anshi Rebellion broke out, and Ge Shuhan died under Yang Guozhong's blind command.

Tang Hui and Guo Jun are both members of the Ming Jing and the first and subordinate members of the military department.

Wei Chigan asked: "Shilang, we still have 980 miles from Hezhong Mansion to Taiyuan Mansion, and we need to pass through Jiangzhou, Jinzhou, and Fenzhou. When do you plan to get to Taiyuan Mansion?"

Han Yu pondered for a while on the horse and said, "Press four days, the road here is rough, slow down a little." Don't enter Jiangzhou City tonight, live in Zhengping County Post Station. ”

"Ordered. "Wei Chi was willing to beat the horse forward, and explored the way from afar.

At noon, I rushed to Gushan Township under the North Gushan Mountain in Yishi County and had a simple meal.

Rest for an hour and continue on your way. After the lonely mountain, it is Wanquan County, Jiangzhou. Don't have time to look more, keep walking.

It was almost dusk, and I arrived at Baibi Township. When I asked passers-by, they said that there were still twenty miles to Zhengping County.

In the history of the Tang Dynasty, the famous Battle of Baibi was here.

From March to April of the second year of Wude (619), Li Shimin, the king of Qin, stationed troops here, pacified Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang, and captured tens of thousands. I also got a Optimus Prime. Since then, Hedong has been pacified, laying the foundation of Datang.

Han Yu stopped Yu Chigan in front of him and said with a smile: "We arrived at Baibi, do you know the story here?"

Wei Chigan looked at the waiter and asked, and immediately burst into tears, and said loudly: "The ancestor of the Duke of Eguo descended to the Tang Dynasty here, and then followed Emperor Taizong to conquer the world. With Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, Liu Heimin, Xu Yuanlang. In the ninth year of Wude (626), he participated in the Xuanwumen Rebellion. It was painted by Emperor Taizong Lingyan Pavilion. Later, he went to Goryeo. ”

"Then do you know why Emperor Taizong was able to win at that time?" Han Yu asked.

Wei Chigan replied: "The achievements of the ancestors, how dare my generation forget. In the battle of Baibi, it can be said that the comparison between Tang Bing and Song Jingang is very large. And in terms of the personal force value of each general, it is also difficult to deal with. However, the king of Qin adopted the strategy of striking backward and exhausting the enemy to win, and won a great victory. Impressed the ancestors. ”

"What is the most crucial battle to convince your ancestors, and what do I think of your evaluation?"

Wei Chigan wiped a handful of tears and replied: "The most critical battle is that Qin Shubao, Duke of Hu, Yin Kaishan, etc., intercepted and killed in Meiliang River. Originally, the ancestor and Xunxiang captured many important members of the Tang court, and in the battle of Miragawa, the ancestor and Xunxiang escaped alone. Later, Emperor Taizong persuaded him to surrender, and the ancestors led Jiexiu and Yong'an to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. ”

Han Yu sighed: "That's a good point. The most important thing for a hero is to understand the general trend of the world. Your ancestors Jingde Gong, including Hu Guogong and Yun Guogong, are all such heroes. Therefore, my Datang is invincible. ”

Han Yu saw that he was emotional, so he simply lived in Baibi Township and brought a few children to pay tribute to the sages.

Just as he was about to enter the township, the elder brother of the palace Shurong Pegasus came: "Squire go quickly." There were four people in the back, chasing us closely and asking me to stop us. ”

With that, he turned back again. Hurry to intercept the pursuers.

Han Yue was taken aback, could it be that something unexpected would happen here?
