Chapter 056: Uprooted

Wu Zhen this person, smart since childhood, martial arts, but martial arts mediocre, the most like to read, but do not like to specialize in a subject, Lao Tzu, Confucius, Legalism, military doctrine are all involved, well-read and strong memory, good at governing the classics, and have a strategy, for the King of Chu to use, appointed as a historian, has the right to read and record the three emperors and five emperors and Kyushu geographical classics, but the social status of the historians of Chu is far less high than the Western Zhou Dynasty, "Zuo Biography" Du Note said: "Right leader, left history, are Chu lowly officials."

Wu Zhen married the daughter of the Dou Yi clan, and later because his wife's family was guilty, he was implicated, resigned from his official position, and was idle at home.

The king of Chu loved his talent and wanted to use him again several times, but Wu Zhen either thought that he was unwilling, or he was content with being bland, and he refused on the grounds of illness, so that he had land and surplus wealth at home, and he did not worry about food and clothing. Wu Zhen and a woman surnamed Dou had two boys and one girl.

Wu Zhen often said to the second son: "The world has risen together, and it has become a mess of porridge, and it is the time for the husband to become famous for eternity."

The two brothers each had their own set of theories.

The eldest son, Wu Fang, was smart and discerning, contrary to his parents' thoughts, unwilling to marry a wife early, and vowed to get ahead like the man who was clever and famous at that time.

Wu Fang once said: "Wu can determine the country, Wen can help An, don't look at the way of today's world, the heroes are competing, once the destiny of heaven returns, it is the time for the gentleman to be useful." What's more, how can the prosperity of a great country rely solely on force? Guanzi, Yanzi, and a few people in 100 miles can compare with each other by virtue and meritorious service? Even the prosperity of Qishan is also made by the merit of King Wen. A martial artist, I'm not ashamed. ”

Wu Fang has been successful in his studies and is used by the high-ranking and powerful Right Yin of the Chu State.

The second son, Wu Cheng, on the contrary, is straight and strong, eighteen years old, nine feet tall, with a long face and a long neck, a slightly blue complexion, a straight back and a wide chest, handsome with hippies, shining eyes, often chuckling, because the neck is often crooked to the left, known as the "partial giraffe".

This person is upright, and the most annoying thing is to use his brain, and he is most tired of reading.

Once, his father taught him a lesson, and he explained his own reasoning: "I heard that Lao Dan, Kong Qiu and others can load several carts of books on their belly, but they don't see the generals in a few big countries? Kong Qiu is wandering around, who is willing to see him? I heard that he traveled around the world, and was surrounded by food in Chen Cai, and almost starved to death, which is really a shame to die of scholars." It can be seen that the more you read, the more useless it is. If I want to be the enemy of all people, I will not be a scholar if I am killed!"

Wu Zhen has a gentle temperament, and has his own way of teaching his son, but he has no choice but to teach the two sons, according to their aptitude, the eldest son learns literature, the second son learns martial arts, birds and beasts, each has its own strengths.

The second son Wu Cheng, only like to practice martial arts, quite his grandfather's style, Wu Heng liked this son the most during his lifetime, won the true biography of Wu Heng, superb martial arts, when he was only fourteen years old, the famous general of Chu Ming liked his martial arts and had no scheming, as a guard, but also banana leaves to burn the fire, to make the best use of it, really loyal, often around the service, Yang Ming liked it very much.

On the first night of her daughter's birth, her mother dreamed that a sorceress said to her, "If your daughter smiles, she can make all the flowers in Daling Mountain lose color, and if she cries, she can make all the flowers in Daling Mountain lose color." ”

The next day, Mrs. Wu talked to her husband about it, and Wu Zhen smiled and said, "I hope she laughs more and cries less, so that the flowers have a good color." Hence the nickname "color". When he grew up, he was beautiful and intelligent, well-behaved, and although he was not proficient, he knew some books, and he was fifteen years and eight months old.

It is often not his enemies who betray a person, but acquaintances, even friends. There is Qu Rong, the general of the Chu State, also known as Qu Yong, "Rong" and "Yong" are connected, and he is the descendant of the monarch of the ancient Yong State, and has many contacts with Wu Zhen. He suspected that there was a treasure that was rumored to be the "Yongguo Tiger Talisman" in Wu Zhen's hands, and he wanted to take it out and give it to the King of Chu in order to be prosperous.

Two years ago, Qu Rong was impatient to wait, and had a plan, taking advantage of the summons of the king of Chu to talk about the old affairs of Yongguo, so he said to the king of Chu: "Wuzhen talent is rare, but there are different hearts. ”

The king of Chu was surprised: "Where did this come from?"

Fangcheng Mountain, is the capital of the old Yongguo, its top of the mountain is flat, steep on all sides, there is a city in the south of the mountain, more than ten miles long, the name is Fangcheng, and Wu Zhen named two sons, one is called Wu Fang, one is called Wu Cheng, one is one article and one martial arts, it shows that it has not forgotten the old country Yongguo. ”

The king of Chu said unhappily: "Do you think that talents who have forgotten their homeland and homeland are of great use?"

Qu Rong was frightened, and fell to the ground to plead guilty.

It is a happy thing for the master to make the slave panic, and the king of Chu laughed: "Hurry up, let go of the fart you want to release." ”

"The subordinate once reported the matter of the Yongguo Tiger Fu. When the Yong Kingdom collapsed, a secret army composed of the children of the Yong nobles was divided into pieces and incognito, and the Tiger Fu could mobilize that army to prepare for a rebellion at the right time to rebuild the Yong Kingdom. The tiger talisman is two halves, half in the hands of the descendants of the lord of Yongguo, and half in the hands of a general. Half of the tiger talisman is now in Wu Zhen's hand. He refuses to do anything for my king, because he has the intention of restoring the country. ”

"The Yongguo has been destroyed for many years, and the warriors of the Yongguo who have been scattered have long been muddy, and the tiger talisman is two pieces of waste, which are useless except for exchanging a few urns of good wine to drink. ”

"Not really. In the seventeenth year of the reign of the Communist Party, Shu Yongren (a mediocre person living in the area of Shucheng, Anhui Province), did not forget to take revenge, took advantage of the defeat of Yanling in our country, colluded with the Wu people to attack me, and caused chaos. ”

The King of Chu smiled lightly and said, "The widow heard that you are also a descendant of the Yongguo monarch, why did you say this?"

"Weichen's background is not hidden. However, it is the trend of the times to sweep the sand and replace the violence with benevolence, and it is the same in the Shang Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty. With the benevolence and virtue of Chu, the six countries will be unified with Chu sooner or later, not to mention the two naughty small countries of Ba and Shu.

"Back then, when Chu, Ba, and Qin destroyed the Yong State, the Yong people had already become the Chu people, the Ba people, and even the Qin people, this is the will of heaven. Weichen is not wise, and he also knows that the current affairs are Junjie. ”

King Chu laughed: "The liver and gallbladder can be seen. ”

"Back then, everyone who saw the tiger talisman had made a blood oath, and they were loyal to the Yongguo from generation to generation, and seeing the tiger talisman was like seeing the king of Yongguo. Most of their descendants now have nothing, and if they gather, it will be a curse. ,

The king of Chu did not express his position. Qu Rong further said: Not only that, Wu Zhen has close contacts with officials from Yongguo's hometown, and he is not afraid of 10,000, only 10,000, just in case. Moreover, when Wu Qi was there, the two were also introduced as confidants."

The king of Chu finally said: "Those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, it is always a hidden danger, you can continue to look for the Yongguo Tiger Talisman." ”

Qu Rong said the above words to the King of Chu for less than two years, and it is already the most recent time.

Wu Zhen's eldest son Wu Fang went to Qin with the main envoy, during which a friend sent a secret report that he said that a major event happened in the country, and the right Yin was imprisoned because of the matter, knowing that it was a power struggle, and he was a popular person around the right Yin, and he was inevitably involved, if he returned to the country, he would be harmed by political enemies, and a bright future would be clouded, and even there was a worry about his life.

At that time, the eloquent man was only for the future, not about the temperament, and it was not uncommon for the Qin and Twilight Chu to be in the past, but it was also a big scandal for the deputy envoy of a country to defect to another country during the mission, and the king of Chu had to be angry and scolded.

Chu Zuoyin entered the palace and said to the king of Chu: "Previously, Wu Zhen thought that he was both civil and military, which was of great use, and he was only listed as a historian, and there were many complaints, and then he was dismissed, and his grievances became more and more serious. In today's world, literati have no festivals, although Wu Zhen has learned a little martial arts, he is still a literati in his bones, and his son defected to the Qin State, which should be made by Wu Zhen. I expected that his family would inevitably infiltrate the Qin State. It was also heard that he was hiding important secrets that were not good for our country. ”

The king of Chu was furious: "The widow treats Wu Zhen as a sage and does not force him to go out of the mountain, but he has different ambitions, sleeps on the couch of the Chu State, dreams of the Qin State, and secretly makes his son defect to other countries, which is really unforgivable!

Doctor Chu Zhuang Zhi has a deep friendship with Wu Zhen, and when he got this news, he was trying to find a way to inform Wu Zhen, and suddenly remembered that he had only seen General Yang Ming return to the palace in the morning, and his guard Wu Cheng must have come back together, so he secretly informed Wu Cheng, and Wu Cheng urgently returned home to inform Wu Zhen.

Wu Zhen lived in a small town more than 50 miles outside the capital of Chu at this time, and just got a message from Wu Fang before he decided to join Qin, which meant that his family should leave Chu and enter Qin as soon as possible, and at this time he was thinking about how to deal with it, whether to run away or ask to see the king of Chu to express his feelings, and he was undecided, like ants on a hot pot, and heard the news that the king of Chu sent someone to arrest him in the middle of the night.

In order to avoid being arrested directly into Qin, he saved his life, turned to the homeland of Wuxian and Yongguo, crossed the edge of the Shenlong frame, made a big circle, and then entered the territory of Ba.

Wu Zhen likes to travel, and has enough hard goods in his hands, thinking of going to Qin, he has his own way to feed his family, so he studied places of interest and historic sites all the way, and still did not forget to let his son and daughter grow up in exile, passing through Pingdu of Ba State, I wanted to go to Jiangzhou, Shudu, and then to Qin, changed my mind, and said to my family: "Ba belongs to Dan Fushui, the scenery is picturesque, it is an old road for the turtle Lingba people to migrate westward to Shu, it is better to study and verify by the way, and then turn to Qin."

His son Wu Cheng said: "Dan Fushui is thousands of miles away from the Chu State, are there any relatives and acquaintances who can't be?"

Wu Zhen said: "What do you know!"

Mrs. said: "The matter has come to this, and there is no need to say more, but fortunately, after several twists and turns, it has finally come out of the tiger's mouth." ”

So, the family first went to the capital of Pakistan, and then transferred to Danfushui.

On this day, Wu Zhen's family went out of the territory of the capital and shared a large fiber boat with people at that time, which belonged to the highest grade on the Danfu water at that time, and the price was naturally much more expensive, going up the river.

In the eyes of several outsiders, the strangest thing about this wooden boat is that the stern is twisted to the left, which is actually the prototype of the crooked ass boat that was common on the Wujiang River later.

The crooked ass boat is a strange and intelligent invention that only the people who often sail in the rapids and rapids, the purpose is to maintain the stability of the boat, and it contains mechanical principles. According to local legends, more than 80 years later, Sima Cuo, the general of the Qin State, led 100,000 ships into the Yangtze River from the Min River, turned into the Wujiang River, and seized Qianzhong County, which already belonged to the Chu State.

But look at the blue river along the way, when it is turbulent, there is still water, the green mountains and cliffs on both sides of the river, towering into the clouds, the slender man is between the cliffs, hunched and naked, there is only a short skirt on the body, and there is **, like a bronze man, drink songs, shout trumpets, echo between the two banks, pull the boat up.

There are two main reasons for the formation of the Wujiang Ancient Fiber Road, one is the continuous migration and expansion of human beings, and the other is the war with foreign races.

On both sides of the Wujiang River, there are mostly canyons, it is difficult for pedestrians, the Ba people are a nation that cannot do without the river, the commonly used means of transportation is the boat, go down the water, of course, save effort, but there are no motor boats of the Wujiang Ba people, the boat has to go up in the rapids, it is very difficult, so they and their predecessors and descendants have dug a narrow and long fiber road on the cliff on the shore.

Looking from the boat on the river, the slender road is like a long dragon walking through the deep footprints left behind. The road is about one person high, and in some places you have to bow down. Of course, in the period of the Ba people who did not commonly use iron tools, the Wujiang Fiber Road was only a prototype, and some hard rocks they still gnawed, far less than the Wujiang Fiber Road that was ordered to be excavated and rectified by Ding Baozhen, the governor of Sichuan during the Guangxu period.

For the Pakistani warriors, the Wujiang Fiber Road was a transportation route for troops, grain and grass.

On each of their major expeditions, they were to make solemn offerings to their ancestors and companions, even though they had been slaves, who had died on the road or had the misfortune to fall off a cliff.

On the Wujiang Fiber Road, every inch of rock has left the footprints of the Ba people and their successors, leaving the blood and tears of the slender man, and also leaving countless stories for future generations to move and sigh, becoming the most important part of Wujiang culture, called "Fiber Road Culture".

At this time, the water is slightly flat, and I only listen to the song:

Collar: Oh oh Mo Mo

The sun head of the tree went to the rock to rest the rock

I also came

I'm afraid of you

Eat and get drunk

I'm afraid of you

Roll down the rocks.

Crowd: Hey, hey, hey
