Chapter 103: The Storyteller of Luoyang
"Fang is stupid, he doesn't know the name of an adult, dare to ask ...... is the honorable teacher?"
Fang Yizhi struggled to get up and thanked him, and asked with a puzzled face.
"In Xia Ling ask Yue, the family teacher Meng Xinghe!"
The middle-aged man replied solemnly.
Fang Yizhi was shocked, Ling Wenyue, the personal disciple of Meng Xinghe, the sect leader of the True Martial Sect, is said to have entered the realm of the true self five years ago, and since he joined the army, he has made great achievements, and was named General Xuanwei by the imperial court, guarding the northwest, and he never imagined that he could see it here.
"Easy to ...... I have heard the name of General Xuanwei for a long time, and I am fortunate to see it today, and it is an honor! ”
Fang Yizhi owed a debt and struggled to sit up and salute.
"You don't have to be polite!"
Ling Wenyue stopped Fang Yizhi's movements, leaned over and tucked the corners of the quilt for him, and said warmly: "You and I are colleagues and cultivators, there is no need to be polite to each other, the family teacher respects Mr. Li Xingzhi of your academy very much, and I have admired it for a long time, and I saw Yi Zhi today...... The disciple of Zhixing Academy, he is really extraordinary! ”
Ling Wenyue is about forty years old, he has big ears, starry eyebrows and sword eyes, a lake blue satin shirt, and a fierce armor and lion belt around his waist, and he is elegant and reveals a bit of the unique toughness of a military general, maybe because he has been stationed at the border all the year round, his temples are a little white, but his voice is gentle and clear.
"The "scorching yang true qi" in Yizhi's body seems to be poisonous and non-poisonous, once it invades the heart or Danji, there will be a worry about life, this exercise is extremely vicious, there were several elders of my True Martial Sect back then, they were injured by this strange sect evil skill, and finally died and disappeared...... However, I have long heard that the two heads of the Xingyuan Academy, Gong Shen Creation, maybe there will be a way to cure it completely! ”
When Ling Wenyue said this, he sighed and continued: "Yi Zhixian will recuperate with peace of mind for a few days, I will send someone to escort you back to Luoyang, Kyoto, now the imperial court has sent 200,000 troops to aid Lanzhou, and has set up camp outside the city, and General Cui, the leading general of the army, is very happy when he hears the victory of Longtanjian, and then he will come to visit you in person, and by the way, learn about the situation of the Xiliang army."
"Are people awake?"
As soon as Ling Wenyue's words fell, a lazy voice sounded outside the door, and several people walked straight in.
The person at the head was dressed in a scarlet robe, his sharp eyes glanced at Fang Yizhi on the couch, and his chin was raised arrogantly.
"This is the leading commander Cui Canyun, General Cui!"
Ling Wenyue arched his hand to the visitor and introduced Fang Yi.
"I've seen Cui Shuai!"
Fang Yizhi sat up with his body propped up and hugged his fists.
"Excuse me...... Let's talk about the situation of the Xiliang Army. ”
Cui Canyun waved his hand impatiently, walked to the chair on the side and sat down, lifted the placket of his robe, lifted Erlang's legs, took the tea cup served by the attendant, and opened the tea lid with some self-confidence, and took a sip.
Fang Yizhi cleared his throat and explained the battle of Longtanjian in detail without hurrying, focusing on the combat characteristics of some Xiliang Iron Cavalry, equipment configuration, and so on.
Cui Canyun was noncommittal after listening, and after a while, he put down the teacup in his hand, twitched his eyelids, and said lightly: "Good job!"
He immediately stood up, clenched his fists, and said with great ambition: "This commander has 200,000 male soldiers, and tomorrow he will find the main force of the Xiliang Army and fight to the death!"
"No!"
Fang Yizhi and Ling Wenyue spoke at the same time.
"Huh......?"
Cui Canyun glanced at the two of them in a non-chalant manner, and his face was a little more gloomy.
"Cui Shuai, the Xiliang Army's labor expedition, the soldiers are sharp, as long as we can't hold out, wait for work, the enemy army will be vigorous, and then decline, and three will be exhausted, at that time, it can be broken in one fell swoop!" Fang Yizhi couldn't help but persuade.
"Yes, the Xiliang army is looking forward to a quick victory, if time goes by, their food and grass will be unsustainable, and they will collapse without a fight!" Ling Wenyue also agreed.
"They have captured Gulang, Guangwu, Yongdeng and other places, and half of the entire Longxi County has fallen into the hands of the enemy...... Your Majesty has entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, and I am the Great Chen Empire...... Desperately need a big win to get excited! The Xiliang army is not invincible, this commander ...... Wasn't he frightened by the people of Xiliang? ”
Cui Canyun's voice sounded coldly, and at the end, his tone became gloomy and compassionate.
"I ......"
Fang Yizhi's words were stopped, he was angry for a while, and his face was pale and speechless.
Ling Wenyue frowned slightly, his face was displeased, and he was about to speak, but Cui Canyun interrupted coldly: "Okay, you two don't need to say it anymore, this marshal is also familiar with the art of war, and he has his own decisions!"
After Cui Canyun finished speaking, he took a few entourage generals and turned around and walked away.
Ling Wenyue and Fang Yizhi glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of worry in each other's eyes......
…………
The warm spring breeze blows through the hills, the mountains are full of unknown flowers, the fish swim happily in the stream, and the hibernating frogs pick up the soil at the mouth of the hole, breathe in the fresh air, and make the first chirp of this spring.
The green mountains are in front, the white clouds are back, and on the small road, the crisp sound of horses' hooves sounds, the carriage squeaks past, and the slender grass that has been crushed down stubbornly straightens up and stretches its green leaves.
Fang Yizhi lifted the curtain, looked at the distant mountains leisurely, and there was a faint worry between his eyebrows, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and the rivers and lakes are dangerous......
Back then, the scholar was angry, he threw his pen from Rong, and he was enthusiastic to serve the country, but now he has become a poem in a hundred battles, and he is no longer a teenager when he returns......
The spring breeze is green on the south bank of the river, but the spring breeze is not only on the south bank of the river, but also on both sides of the Luo River in the imperial capital Luoyang, and the world-famous peony flowers are blooming brightly.
The tourists who go out are weaving, the three or five children are playing with the juju, a group of women from the official eunuchs are admiring the peony flowers swaying in the wind, whispering something, a few girls who are as bright as spring and March, laughing and playing, and the laughter like silver bells sometimes floats in the wind......
The spring breeze blows through the heavy city wall, and also blows the rusty door nails on the Dingding Gate, and blows the catkins on the bluestone road of Suzaku Street, dancing in the sun.
The people on the street were in a hurry, and the usually lively and noisy street was a little strangely low, and even the hawkers who solicited business lowered their voices a lot, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded from time to time on the street.
The people in Luoyang City are very experienced in avoiding fast horses, and they are no longer surprised by this scene, Xiliang Kingdom openly launched a war against the Great Chen Empire, this war is like a haze, shrouding Luoyang City, even if the sun is shining, it still makes people feel extremely depressed......
The Great Chen Empire was defeated, 250,000 troops competed with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry in Daqingyu, the two armies could not hold each other, 3,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry Surprise Soldiers broke through, breaking the Chen army, this battle, the Chen Army suffered more than 30,000 casualties......
This news came out of nowhere and spread throughout the imperial capital, making the sky over the originally depressed Luoyang City even more cloudy.
In the tea shop on Dingding Street, people talk about the current situation in a whisper, the imperial decree of the Dachen Empire is clear, and the people's speech is relatively free, so there is no taboo for some people to talk about it.
Adjacent to the Chongwenfang in the goulan tile shop, although there is less than the usual sound of the bamboo orchestra, but the gathering of people is still numerous, warm applause and cheers from the doors and windows from time to time, through the goulan window, you can see a storyteller, standing on the stage, is dancing and saying something.
Everyone in the audience listened attentively, and a young man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes in the crowd listened leisurely, his face was sometimes happy, sometimes angry, sometimes nervously clenched his fists, and his face was flushed.
A chubby young man beside him, but he only looked down to eat, or looked around absentmindedly, listened for a moment, but fell asleep.
These two teenagers are naturally He An and Fan Dazhi of Zhixing Academy.
Mr. Storyteller has just finished telling "Longtan Battle Corpse Bone Cold", which is about the story of 500 Chen dead soldiers escorting Yongdeng fleeing people and fighting with Xiliang Iron Cavalry in Longtan Stream.
The storyteller put the wood in his hand on the case for a pause, and continued to speak: "The book is picked up, and it is said that after my Dachen reinforcements arrived in Lanzhou, Cui Canyun, the commander of the reinforcements, took out the tiger talisman, mobilized 250,000 horses, and ordered the troops to be stationed in Daqingyu, taking advantage of the terrain, attacking and retreating, and defending, and preparing to compete with the Xiliang army."
"In a few days, I saw the black and oppressive Xiliang army rolling in, like dark clouds pressing down on the top city to destroy, overwhelming the sky and menacing......"
When the storyteller said this, he picked up the waking wood and patted it on the case again, unhurriedly picked up the coarse porcelain bowl, took a sip of salt tea, wiped the water stains on the corner of his mouth, and continued: "Rank, can you imagine what kind of thrilling scene it is? As the saying goes: the horn wind whirls the world and the sky is black, and the yellow desert desert is cloudy. The Xiliang soldiers moved the mountains and destroyed them, and the thousands of miles were discolored. Neighing horses sit on beards, leaping over the mountains and galloping stars. Hu Jiqi and Tianshan songs, drums shook the white camel. King Fan held an embroidered axe left and right, and waved gold in front and ...... before and after the unified army"
When he said this, his voice stopped, and the audience cheered in unison.
"The drums of war sounded, tens of thousands of stubborn soldiers, lined up in several neat phalanxes, flags covered the sun, guns and halberds like a forest, magnificent, like moving mountains, every step forward, the earth trembled.
The armor on the general's body collided with each other, making a dull sound of gold and iron, and the formation of our army spread, like a huge curved arc blade, piercing into the Xiliang formation. ”
"The sound of shouting and killing, the sound shook the sky; Between heaven and earth, corpses are everywhere, horses neigh, and Jin Ge strikes each other......"
The two armies were unable to hold each other, and suddenly three thousand iron horsemen rushed out from the rear of the Xiliang Army and went straight into the main formation of the Dachen Army. My Da Chen army was caught off guard, with countless casualties, and in an instant, the army was defeated like a mountain, and I pity tens of thousands of sons, and died tragically on the battlefield, hating the jackals of the West and committing my frontier ......"
The storyteller was foaming at the mouth, and the voice of the voice was full of emotion, and the audience sighed, but no one paid attention to the fact that a person sitting in the back row stood up quietly and sneaked out.
If He An and Fan Dazhi saw this person, they would definitely be no strangers, this person was none other than Bi Yunfei, who had not shown up for a long time.
"Boldly disrupt the people, gather people to spread rumors, and confuse the people with gossip!"
The storyteller was talking vigorously on the stage, when he was suddenly interrupted by a loud shout, the door was kicked open, and two soap-clothed catchers rushed in fiercely, and the crowd in the hook bar screamed, and there was a sudden chaos.
Bi Yunfei stood outside the door, with a gloomy smile on his face, turned around and walked away quickly.
