Chapter 61: The Battle Twenty Years Ago

"You mean that twenty years ago, Tusang fought with us in the Great Battle?" Yu Wenhan poured the uncle wine again and asked with interest.

The bearded uncle took a sip of wine and said with infinite remembrance: "Yes, have you heard of it? You weren't born at that time. Our Da Wei General Yu Wenqin is brave. ”

"Is it the legendary General Yuwenqin who combines peerless beauty and martial arts? Her love triangle with Tusang's Yutai Khan and Huangbei's Shangdu Khan is really a glamorous affair. The guy who ran the hall squinted his eyes and leaned over and said.

"Huangkou children, don't talk nonsense!" Uncle Thick Eyebrows scolded, "That's a general who turns the tide and falls, helps the building to fall, saves the people from fire and water, and helps the people in danger. If she hadn't led us to garrison the border city, you wouldn't have the peaceful days you have now. ”

Hearing this, Yu Wenhan and Yang Qingqiu's clenched fists also loosened. Yu Wenhan also poured wine for Uncle Thick Eyebrows, and said: "It is said that fame is easy to obtain, but it is difficult to find fame. If General Yu Wenqin knew that there were two people in the border city thousands of miles away who remembered her exploits back then and justified her name, she would be extremely pleased. ”

Uncle Thick-eyebrow waved his hand and said, "How can I make General Yu Wenqin grateful for this little thing." As the saying goes, 'people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong', Yuwenqin has guarded the border for decades, and has repeatedly made great achievements, and the last battle directly repelled Tusang Qianli, and detained the little prince of Tusang, so that these barbarians will never dare to invade my Da Xun again, and Huang Bei is also honestly called a minister. She was supposed to be a great hero who was worshiped by generations of descendants of Da Shu, but she didn't know who she had provoked, so she fabricated such rumors in the market and wantonly smeared them, which was unforgivable. After saying that, Uncle Thick Eyebrows angrily wiped out the wine.

Gradually, a few people next to him also came over, and the shopkeeper had already closed the door when he saw this, and listened attentively.

"But as far as I have heard, this General Yuwenqin met Tusang Yutai Khan as early as 28 years old, and Yutai Khan had just succeeded to the throne not long ago, and he also took her to travel in the desert with him, and at that time he was able to enter and exit the desert in a big way, that is, General Yuwenqin. Later, the Khan and Huang Bei opened a station, and the Shangdu Khan was defeated and retreated, and had to take refuge in Da Shu, and General Yuwenqin parted ways with the Khan of Yutai. One of the people who came over said.

"This Tai Khan has long coveted me for a long time, and he has united with Huangbei to fight against Tusang, and General Yuwenqin is not the slightest bit ambiguous." Uncle Beard said, "Nowadays, people only look at the surface, and the children of the rivers and lakes don't care about their identity when they make friends when they are young, they just want to have like-minded interests, and they can't say that they know each other and have ulterior things, right?" You can't say that if you know you, you'll betray the country, right? You said that when King Hua was stationed in the border city for three years, all taxes and miscellaneous taxes were exempted, how good our life was, but because he and the current Weitun Khan of Tusang were close friends, just say that he was a traitor and was imprisoned until now, I don't accept the logic of these people's judgment! ”

"Good! Well said! I'm not convinced either! As soon as the bearded uncle's words fell, everyone else shouted. Frightened, the shopkeeper hurriedly came over and said, "Uncles and uncles, you can be quiet." This General Yu Wenqin is considered to be a past affair of the previous dynasty, you can just talk about it, don't talk about this Hua Wangye, our small business, we don't want to invite the disaster of killing. ”

"You white-eyed wolves, Lord Hua treated you merchants the best back then!" Uncle Beard glanced at him, and then said, "So, don't make any friends with these barbarians like Tusang and Huangbei, and affect yourself." Moreover, these Tusang and Huang Bei have wolf blood in their bones, and it is impossible for them to keep to themselves. ”

"Huang Bei is also a big wolf dog, how can he be a wolf? Every year, a lot of beauties and jewels are tributed! The bystander said.

"You know what! In that great battle twenty years ago, General Yu Wenqin led us to guard the city gate for three months. This Huang Bei was only one step away from here, but the reinforcements arrived a month and a half late. Do you know why? Uncle Beard asked, looking around.

"Why? I heard that the mountains were covered by heavy snow? The bystander asked.

"What is the closure of the mountain? They just want to see who can get the upper hand, so they can decide who to point the finger at. Uncle Thick Eyebrows took over the conversation and said, "Fortunately, General Yu Wenqin is well-trained on weekdays and never slackens, let's not talk about soldiers, even the men in our barracks can fight with one enemy and ten, and the more they fight, the more brave they become." But Natusang is with 50,000 elite cavalry, and we are only 10,000 people, for the guards of the city gate, and the innocent people all over the city, General Yuwenqin personally led us into battle to kill the enemy, and resisted to the death for more than a month. This Huangbei said that the alliance would resist the enemy, but he kept looking for an excuse to wait and see, and it was useless for the queen of Huangbei to persuade Shangdu Khan repeatedly, and in the end she was shocked by our momentum of killing the red eye, so she had to hurry up and send troops. A month later, our reinforcements from Da Xun also arrived, and they completely drove the Tusang barbarians thousands of miles away, so happy! ”

"Good!" The guy who ran the hall became excited when he heard it, and applauded with the guys, "Uncle, it turns out that the war is so exciting, this day is much more exciting than my running hall!" ”

"You kid!" Thick eyebrows and big eyes said and lifted his sleeves, revealing a five-inch-long scar on his arm, as thick as a scar of a big centipede, the wound must have been at least half an inch deep at that time, "My arm, if it wasn't for my brother to save me, would have been gone a long time ago." But my brother didn't see the day of final victory. ”

The young man who ran the hall looked at this terrible scar and was so frightened that the cup in his hand fell down. Uncle Beard continued: "Although we have driven the Tusang barbarians thousands of miles away, there are less than 3,000 people left in our 10,000-strong barracks. Thousands of people died on the battlefield, it was really a river of blood, and I can't bear to look back. ”

After hearing this, suddenly everyone fell silent, as if they had been taken to the great war more than 20 years ago, with snow falling all over the sky, screaming and shaking the sky, blood dissolved in the snow, and buried deep in the loess.

Yu Wenhan poured wine for these two uncles, raised his wine glass with Yang Qingqiu and said: "An inch of rivers and mountains and an inch of blood, the younger generation respects the two heroes." ”

——————————————————————————————————

Yu Wenhan and Yang Qingqiu returned to the room.

"General Qin rarely talks about this." Yang Qingqiu said while helping Yu Wenhan clean up the bed.

"General Qin is not a person who talks about his exploits, and now she can't ......help herself," Yu Wenhan was silent for a while, looked at Yang Qingqiu and said, "My arms can already be moved, I can come by myself." ”

"It's my handy." Yang Qingqiu also knew that he didn't want to talk about General Qin's situation anymore, so he started to ask again: "Why did Tusang want to involve Huang Bei's matter with Wang Chengyue. This kind of lie, as long as Wang Yu sends someone to Huangbei to investigate, won't it be exposed? ”

"It depends on whether Shangdu Khan thinks his reputation is important, or his friendship with Wang Yu is important." Yu Wenhan looked out the window and said thoughtfully. A few days ago, it was here, and the lights were lit up outside the window, but today it has become bleak and lonely.

"You mean, Tusang is gambling that Shangdu Khan will not hesitate to bear the responsibility of killing Wang Chengyu and turn against Wang Yu in order to maintain his reputation with the century-old Snow Lotus?" Yang Qingqiu walked to the window, shook his head and said, "I don't think he has to do this." Since Wang Yu was transferred to the border city, Huang Bei's power in the desert has become stronger and stronger, which is inseparable from Wang Yu's protection. ”

"What if Wang Yu is transferred out of the border city and can't give him shelter anymore?" Yu Wenhan said, "And Huang Bei and Wang Yu may not be willing, you see that the letter of the little prince of Sheng Ze mentioned that 'privately withholding Huang Bei's tribute and falsely reporting the imperial court's annual coins', this is also from the perspective of the imperial court, if it is from Huang Bei's point of view, it may be far more than that." ”

"But Huang Bei, as a subordinate clan of my Da Shu, killing the son of a heavy minister is also a serious crime. If Huang Bei can't give a good explanation, I'm afraid he won't be able to escape the blame. Yang Qingqiu said.

"I guess the full version given by Helian Abandonment should be that Wang Chengyue got rich and stole the hundred-year-old snow lotus, and after being discovered by Prince Bayin, Wang Chengyu and others not only destroyed the century-old snow lotus, but also disabled Prince Bayin, and Huang Bei killed him." Yu Wenhan said.

"It doesn't matter if something is true or false, as long as it can be explained." Yang Qingqiu thought of something, and said with a little bit: "No wonder Helian abandoned his illness and killed Wang Chengyu, but said that he helped us." ”

"Helian abandoned the disease and was really ruthless and gave us such a bloody gift." Yu Wenhan despised it in his heart, and was not grateful for Helian's "gift" of abandoning his illness, although Wang Chengyue was a scoundrel, but he had no grievances with himself, so why step on his corpse.

"It seems that he is more anxious than us to drive Wang Yu away." Yang Qingqiu said.

"Hmph, Wang Yu has no way to teach his son, but why did Wang Chengyu end up like this?" Yu Wenhan pointed to the street and said, "Look at this street, it was still busy last time, but today it is so quiet. The merchant on the opposite side closed the window cautiously and looked left and right. How much ability does Wang Yu have in the border city to make the entire border city tremble for him? ”

Yang Qingqiu looked out the window, although there was no army patrolling, but the whole street had an indescribable terrifying atmosphere, the few windows were lit with dim candles, most of them were pitch black, and there was not even the slightest human voice.

"What are we going to do tomorrow?" Yang Qingqiu asked.

"Early tomorrow morning, you go to inquire about the situation first, Helian should still be in the General's Mansion, it is best to let him come out to meet." Yu Wenhan wants to find out in person what kind of explanation this Helian abandonment will give him.

As he spoke, there was a knock at the door.

Yang Qingqiu opened the door, and the shopkeeper handed over a letter and said, "A messenger just now said that I must hand it over to you." ”

The shopkeeper immediately saw the open window and hurriedly shouted: "Two ancestors, hurry up and close the window, don't let anyone see that you are still drinking tea and chatting here at this time, which is a taboo for the general." ”

The letter turned out to be delivered by Helian Qi, and the address of the time to meet tomorrow was agreed, and it turned out that their every move was in his eyes.
