Chapter 165: The Two Temples Cross Over
Tang He has a straightforward personality, and when he heard Zhu Chongba say this, he immediately turned his anger into joy, and said happily: "Brother Zhu, if you think so, this is worthy of being a seven-foot man who dares to be a man of my Han people." =Top=Point=Novel www.23wx.com
Now, General Liu Futong is about to move his army north to recapture the Tartar city in the north, but the Tartar soldiers have a lot of food, and this battle is very difficult. ”
Zhu Chongba has no relatives and empty hands, and he is also a master who is not afraid of heaven and earth, joining the rebel army, he can not only fight Tartars, avenge his relatives, but also mix military salaries, and eat and wear without worrying, it is better than being unclothed and hungry and full of food.
I remembered the text that the child read last night, and I only felt that my blood was surging, and I said loudly: "The prince will Xiangning have a kind of thing! I, Zhu Chongba, have decided to follow you, so we will go south to join the righteous army and kill all the Tartars." ”
Tang He was very happy and said loudly: "That's it. Don't hide it from my brother, I came to Chang'an to do business with General Guo Zixing, so I will go back to General Guo Zixing, you happen to be with me, I will introduce you to General Guo Zixing, and in the future, you and I will be generals and work together to achieve great causes. ”
After the two made up their minds, Tang He began to tell Zhu Chongba on the boat how the White Lotus Sect Army revolted, how the leader of Han Shantong was arrested, bravely went to righteousness, died tragically under the torture of the Yuan army, and how the righteous army captured Haozhou and occupied Luzhou under the grief and anger of the righteous army, and instigated Jiangnan to uncover the uprising one after another.
Zhu Chongba listened, only to feel that his blood vessels were swelling, and he kept applauding loudly.
The boat rowed very slowly, and the two talked very happily, and before they knew it, it was already noon. Several people were hungry, and asked Zhang Laohan, saying that it would take two hours to reach the ferry on the other side.
At this time, the boat was in the middle of the Weishui, and there was no end of water, where there was anything to eat. Zhang Laohan said: "In the past, there were harpoons and simple cooking utensils on the boat, which could be eaten by spearfish, but now there are no guests coming for a long time, and there is no spare these things on the ship, otherwise the big carp in Weishui is very fat, and we have absolutely no problem with a full meal." ”
When Zhu Chongba heard this, he hurriedly looked down, and sure enough, he saw that the water was clear, and the bottom of the water swam quickly with a rare black shadow, which should be the big carp that Zhang Laohan said. He cheered, and hurriedly stretched out his hands to fish, the carp was very slippery, and after fishing for a long time, he didn't even touch the shadow of the carp.
Zhu Chongba couldn't help but be frustrated, slapped the water surface fiercely, and suddenly there was a splash sound, and two golden carps jumped out of his face.
Zhang Laohan and the little child exclaimed, and with a sudden, Tang He's hands flashed out, and everyone didn't see what was going on, Tang He laughed, opened his hands, and what he was holding in his hands were the two big golden carps just now.
Zhu Chongba looked at it, and saw that there were five fingerprints on each of the two golden carps, and he hurriedly reached out to take them, only to feel that he was slippery and did not leave his hands, and the scales were hard, so he felt that he was going to slip to the ground in his hands.
Zhu Chongba couldn't help but be shocked: "Brother Tang, you are so good at kung fu." ”
Tang He laughed and said loudly: "Brother Zhu praised it falsely, I am a dragon claw hand, I have been practicing hard for more than 20 years, and I have no skills, I can only catch fish or something, but I make you laugh." ”
"I didn't expect Brother Tang to be a martial arts master. Zhu Chongba sighed, while untying a small knife from his waist, three times and two times to cut off the scales of the fish, remove the internal organs, wash it in the river water, put it on with a withered willow branch, shake the fire to make a fire, and roast the fish on the boat.
Zhu Chongba is a master at doing these chores, and after a while, the grilled fish will burst out of the burnt aroma, Zhu Chongba uses a knife to cut the middle of the two fish, divide them into four pieces, and each person holds a piece and bites it.
Eating the fragrant grilled fish, Tang He praised it and said, "I didn't expect Brother Zhu to be a master, I haven't eaten such a delicious meal for a long time." ”
Zhu Chongba just smiled and said that he had been wandering the world since he was a child, making some small game, which he had been used to doing since he was a child.
After everyone ate the grilled fish, Zhu Chongba and the other three people rested in the boat, Zhang Laohan continued to hold the boat forward, and finally, two hours later, arrived at the ferry on the other side of the Wei River.
After the two got off the boat, Tang He gave Zhang Laohan a few taels of silver, enough for his grandparents and grandchildren to use for a year, and Zhang Laohan left with a thousand thanks. Tang He and Zhu Chongba identified the direction, got out of the ferry, and went straight to the direction of Luzhou.
From Chang'an City to Luzhou is thousands of miles away, the two rushed to a market, Tang He bought two horses with money, rode horses, and slept in the open along the way, and when he was hungry, he grabbed some beef pastries and the like on the roadside stalls to satisfy his hunger.
The two took Fengyuan Road, passed through Nanyang Mansion and De'an Mansion, turned north from De'an Mansion, and took Luzhou Road to Luzhou. Along the way, starvation was everywhere, and from time to time you could see a large group of people who had left their hometowns and carried their children on their backs.
In fact, the area of Fengyuan Road where the two walked was quite rich, located in the plains, with high grain production, but they couldn't stand the war, the taxes were heavier, and the theft, burning and killing were rampant, except for the official eunuchs and large landlords, ordinary farmers and tenants still had no way to live.
Zhu Chongba himself followed the deserters all the way to Chang'an, and he was already surprised, but Tang He was angry along the way, cursing at the Yuan army.
On the way, Tang He told Zhu Chongba in detail about himself and the White Lotus Sect, it turned out that Tang He was born in a big family, his parents and relatives are local well-known official gentry, he has been good at martial arts since he was a child, and he was sent outside to learn martial arts since he was a child, when he was twenty years old, he returned to his hometown of Haozhou, but found that his home had been ransacked by a group of thieves, and none of his relatives at home were alive.
He asked all the neighbors in Haozhou, and finally learned that it was a small group of people from the Yuan army who burned and humiliated the surrounding counties in the name of the righteous army, and his own house was targeted by the Yuan army and ransacked.
From that time on, Tang He was determined to kill the Tartar army all over the world to avenge his parents, and soon, he took refuge in the nearby White Lotus Sect Army, and enlisted under General Guo Zixing. This time, he came to Chang'an, but he heard that the commander of the Yuan army had secretly arrived in Chang'an, so he inquired about the movement of the detachment for several days, but did not find any traces of detachment.
He also said that although the White Lotus Sect Army won the hearts of the people, after all, the Yuan army was powerful, and if the commander really led a million troops to suppress it, it would still be difficult for the rebel army to resist. In addition, the forces in the world are rising, and several different rebel armies are often suspicious of each other, such as Zhang Shicheng, Xu Shouhui and others, although they also led the uprising, but they have mutual restraint with Liu Futong and Guo Zixing, and the trend of resistance to the Yuan is extremely unclear.
Zhu Chongba listened to Tang He's words, as if he was worried about the future of the righteous army, so he was safe and dangerous along the way, and said, the world is nothing more than good and evil, although the Yuan army is powerful, but it has long lost the hearts of the people, making enemies everywhere, and is losing his advantage little by little, and although the righteous army is temporarily weak, it is in the rising stage, and sooner or later it will surpass the Yuan army, so that Tang He does not have to worry.
Within a day, the two of them slept in the open and rushed to the border of Luzhou. The area around Luzhou has been occupied by the rebels for many days, and the rebels have been very strict along the way, Tang He has his own thousand seals, no one dares to stop them, and the two of them have successfully arrived in Luzhou City.
From afar, I saw a big flag on the city of Luzhou, with a huge white lotus embroidered on the black flag, and another big flag next to it, which was also a black flag, and a big "Guo" word was embroidered on it.
Tang He pointed to the two big flags, and said in high spirits: "Brother Zhu, you see, this is the banner of my White Lotus Sect Army, and next to it is the general flag of General Guo Zixing. ”
When the two of them entered the city, they saw that the market in the city was lively, pedestrians came and went, although there were patrols and troops coming and going from time to time, but there was no war scene imagined by Zhu Chongba at all, and it was more suitable for the tragic scene of hungry mayflies everywhere that the two of them saw all the way.
Guo Zixing's general's mansion was settled in the former Changshi Mansion of Luzhou City, Tang He was very familiar with Luzhou City, and took Zhu Chongba to turn left and right, and arrived at the general camp after a while.
The patrol soldiers in front of the General's Mansion all knew Tang He, and when they saw them, they all greeted them one after another. Tang He also nodded to each other, and when they arrived at the door of the main hall, Tang He asked the soldiers guarding the door in a low voice, "Is General Guo in the mansion?"
"In. However, General Guo is discussing the military aircraft with Vice General Chang, General Tang, please wait for a while. The guards all knew Tang He and whispered.
Tang He looked up at the main hall, and saw that the door was closed, and he was indeed discussing a major matter, and it was inconvenient for the two of them to enter at this time, so he nodded and said, "Okay, General Ben is waiting here." ”
Zhu Chongba followed Tang He to the side, taking advantage of the opportunity to wait, looked around, only to see that here is surrounded by a few zhang high courtyard walls, all painted with white paint, the main hall is a two-story attic, the attic carved beams and paintings, vermilion lacquer red columns, very exquisite and luxurious.
Each piece of green brick on the ground has a hollow pattern pattern, spelled into a pattern such as plum orchid bamboo chrysanthemum, opposite the main hall is a lotus pond of dozens of zhang size, at this time it is late autumn, the lotus has withered, the withered yellow lotus leaves are messily spread on the water surface, it seems that no one has taken care of it for a long time.
He and Tang He stood on the corridor in front of the main hall, looked up, the corridor is also delicately carved with a variety of carved patterns, every few steps there are also color drawings of the pen, painting the various allusions of the past dynasties, the structure is rigorous, the penmanship is exquisite, at a glance is everyone's handwriting.
Zhu Chongba looked around, looking at it with great pleasure, but Tang He stood silently in the corridor with his hands in his hands, looking at the lotus pond in front of him, motionless.
Please look forward to watching the next chapter of "Luzhou Guo Zixing"
