Chapter Eighty-Four: King Qin Breaks the Array

Li Zhiyun listened, waved his hand and said, "No, this kind of thing is a piece of cake for me, just open your mouth." Listen, the big knife is coming, the enemy's head is chopping, the brothers of the Tang Army, the time has come to kill the enemy, the time has come to kill the enemy......" He changed the "March of the Big Knife" nonsense, and made a knife swing and slashing action while singing.

When Scarface saw it, he smiled and said: "Lord Wang, I just said that you are a god, you can do anything, this song sounds exciting." Cai Hu was also very excited, and hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, I'll go and select some soldiers who can sing and dance, and let's rehearse this 'King of Chu's Great Sword Song'." Li Zhiyun shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm just joking, defeating Liu Wuzhou is the credit of my second brother, let's not steal the limelight......"

Thousands of soldiers participated in the Zhujie Conference, and the theme was eating and drinking. There are many tables, chairs and benches borrowed from the people's homes, and there are pots of pots of dishes and jars of water and wine on the table.

A large open space was set aside at the front of the venue to serve as a stage for performances. The second brother came to the stage and said a few words, and then the performance officially began.

"Qin Wang Breaking Array Music" is an orchestral ensemble of the song and dance drama, the performance is huge, there are 120 soldiers wearing armor, more than 200 musicians, musical instruments are drums, gongs, flutes, flutes, etc., mixed with Guizi Hu music.

On the stage, the miserable white sunlight and the bleak autumn wind shrouded the wilderness with a layer of desolate and reckless atmosphere, the Tang army and the enemy army lined up opposite each other in the wilderness, and could not hear the noise of human voices, could not hear the spears and spears, only heard the sound of Xiao Xiao and the horses. A low, powerful drum beat broke the silence before the battle, and the soldiers clenched their swords and guns, and the horses began to snort and raise their hooves. At this time, the gongs and cymbals sounded in unison, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the big battle was about to break out.

Suona and flute, flute, play a desolate melody, strings in the distance under the background of the sound of clouds and gongs, low back tactful, the audience seems to see the enemy everywhere, the village is empty, full of devastation, a "white bones exposed in the wild, thousands of miles without rooster crowing" desolate scene. People who have suffered so much from the war have been uprooted and displaced.

Suddenly, the tempo picks up, and the snare drums and cymbals beat out a beating rhythm, pulling the viewer back from the illusory image to the reality of the confrontation between the two armies.

Wind music sounded, big drums joined, and bands played in unison, and the atmosphere became tense as both sides of the war began to deploy their troops.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves (wooden fish) sounded, mixed with the neighing of war horses, and the two sides began to engage in hand-to-hand combat. The orchestra played a melody that started in the second half of the beat, outlining a fierce war scene for the audience. The horses' hooves galloped, the gongs and drums sounded in unison, and the battle entered a white-hot phase.

The prince of Qin braved the edge and penetrated deep into the enemy formation, and the soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy, and finally defeated the enemy army. At this time, the orchestra played in full force, playing a broad and majestic melody. Under the leadership of King Qin, the Tang soldiers fought bloody battles and finally won the final victory.

At the end of the piece, there is a joyful gong and drum celebrating the victory.

Thousands of soldiers who have experienced brutal battles were deeply attracted by this wonderful performance. They stared intently at the stage, attentive and mesmerized. At the end of the performance, the soldiers burst into thunderous applause and cheers, and the performance was a great success.

After recovering Hedong, Li Zhiyun and his second brother should also return to Chang'an. After the Zhujie Conference, the second brother appointed Li Zhongwen as the governor of the state, and left him some soldiers and horses to guard Jinyang, and he led the rest of the men and horses to triumph. Li Zhiyun also led the new army and returned to Chang'an with the second brother's army.

After the army left Jinyang City, Li Zhiyun rode his horse and gradually fell at the back of the team, and looked back from time to time. Cai Hu, who was following him, couldn't help but say, "Lord Wang, don't expect it, she won't come." Li Zhiyun glanced at him, did not squeak, but still retracted the reins of the horse, clamped his legs, and urged the horse forward. At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind him. He turned his head to take a look, only to see Fan Shuxiang galloping on his horse, and he hurriedly turned the horse's head to meet him.

Fan Shuxiang rushed to the front, stopped the war horse, and turned over. Li Zhiyun also got off the horse and stood next to the horse. Fan Shuxiang ran up to him, panting, his face was red, and his eyes were staring at him without blinking.

Li Zhiyun didn't squeak, just looked at her. The two stared at each other for a while, and Li Zhiyun said, "Come with me to Chang'an, right?" ”

"What are you doing in Chang'an? I don't even have a place to live. ”

"You can live in the Chu Palace, and you can do whatever you want. There are many interesting places in Chang'an, such as the Bell and Drum Tower, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and the Weiyang Palace...... "He couldn't go on, feeling as if he was kidnapping a girl.

"I'm not going." The girl shook her head and said, "I want to go back to Jiangzhou with my father, and I am reluctant to leave him." ”

Although Li Zhiyun was a little disappointed, he still said: "Okay, I can understand. Fan Shuxiang suddenly kissed him on the cheek, turned around and ran to the horse, stepped on the horse, pulled the reins of the horse, and said loudly: "In two years, I will go to Chang'an to find you!" Then he turned his horse's head and galloped away.

Li Zhiyun stood there reluctantly, until Fan Shuxiang, who was riding a horse, turned into a small black dot and disappeared into the gate of Jinyang City, then he remounted his horse and went to chase the brigade with Cai Hu.

After a long journey, the army finally returned to Chang'an. When the people approached Chang'an City, Li Zhiyun and his second brother rode in front. In the distance, he saw thousands of people gathered under the towering tower, and the crowd was crowded. When they arrived, Li Zhiyun realized that it was the officials and people who welcomed their triumphant return. The tall man at the front of the crowd was the eldest brother, and the eldest brother, as the crown prince, led hundreds of civil and military officials to greet them outside the city gate, and the families of many soldiers were also waiting for their relatives.

As soon as Li Zhiyun saw the second brother turn over and dismount, he hurriedly dismounted. The dozens of generals who followed behind them also dismounted. Li Zhiyun handed the reins to a personal soldier and walked forward with the second brother.

The eldest brother greeted him with a smile. When they arrived, Li Zhiyun and the second brother knelt down and saluted to the eldest brother. The eldest brother pulled them up and said with a smile: "Second brother, fifth brother, don't be polite." In this expedition, Liu Wuzhou was defeated, Jin and Fen were recovered, and Abba Longyan was happy, and ordered me to lead a hundred officials to meet here. Tomorrow, Abba will hold a court meeting to reward the two virtuous brothers and meritorious soldiers. ”

The second brother arched his hand and said, "There is Prince Lao." The eldest brother nodded and made a "please" gesture.

The second brother walked forward, and the civil and military officials who had been waiting for a long time stepped forward to pay homage to King Qin and congratulate him. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the eldest brother pulled Li Zhiyun aside and said with a smile: "Fifth brother, this performance is good, the eldest brother didn't misunderstand you." Li Zhiyun smiled: "Thank you, big brother, for the compliment!" ”

At this time, Zhang Zheng suddenly stood in front of him and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, we meet again." When Li Zhiyun saw it, he was pleasantly surprised: "Zhang Zheng, what's the matter, is the injury healed?" ”

"It's all right." Zhang Zheng said, smacking his fist twice on his chest.

Li Zhiyun looked him up and down, nodded and said, "Okay, the complexion is quite good." ”

After entering the city, Li Zhiyun asked Scarface to lead the new army back to the barracks, and he returned to the Chu Palace, Zhang Zheng and Cai Hu. Wei Xiaobao led hundreds of people from all over the mansion to welcome him outside the mansion gate, Li Zhiyun was proud, arrogant, and accepted everyone's congratulations with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Yinggu walked up to him with a pout. Last time I went back to Chang'an, the third sister gave him the "women's army" lent to him, and by the way, she also took Yinggu and said that she would make him a personal ring. Yinggu complained: "Lord, if you go to war, you don't take me with you, and leave me alone in the palace, I'm about to suffocate to death." ”

"It's dangerous to fight, but it's not for your safety."

"I don't care, wherever you go, I'll go."

"Okay, I'll take you with me on my next expedition."

After Li Zhiyun returned to the palace, he simply washed up, changed into a set of clean clothes, and immediately went to the palace to meet his grandmother. Every time he returned to Chang'an, he had to see his mother as soon as possible.

Li Zhiyun entered the harem and came to the palace of his grandmother under the leadership of a eunuch. He walked into the spacious palace and saw his grandmother sitting on a soft couch, and there were two people standing opposite, one was the fifth sister, and the other was a man he had never seen. The man was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, with a fair face and a black beard under his chin, and he looked very gentlemanly.

As soon as Grandma saw him come in, she stood up in surprise and greeted her: "Zhiyun, are you back?" Li Zhiyun hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and Grandma pulled him up and said, "Zhiyun, get up and speak, let Grandma take a good look at you." ”

"Grandma, I'm fine."

At this time, the fifth sister came over and greeted with a smile: "Zhiyun, are you back?" Li Zhiyun nodded, turned his gaze to the man beside her and said, "Who is this?" The man hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Weichen Yang Shidao greets His Royal Highness the King of Chu and congratulates His Royal Highness the King of Chu on his triumphant return!" The grandma on the side smiled and said, "Call Mr. Yang, he will be your brother-in-law soon." ”

When Li Zhiyun heard this, he was taken aback, and his eyes turned to the fifth sister: "Really?" The fifth sister smiled embarrassedly and nodded.

Grandma pulled Li Zhiyun to the soft couch and asked him to sit next to her, wanting to talk to him well. The fifth sister said: "Grandma, Zhiyun has just come back, you two have a lot to say, let's go first." ”

"Okay."

After saying goodbye, the two walked out of the palace together. Li Zhiyun's gaze was retracted from the door, and he looked at his grandmother and said, "Who is this Yang Shidao?" ”

"He is the son of Yang Xiong, the king of Guande in the Sui Dynasty, who just fled from Luoyang to Chang'an a few months ago to join the Tang Dynasty, and was appointed by your father as Shangyitong." Grandma said, "Your father sees that his family background is good, so he wants to marry your sister to him." It's been almost two years since Zhao Cijing was killed, and your sister is dragging two children alone, and I feel distressed when I look at it. It's okay now, and it's finally gone to my heart. ”

"What is he like? Will it be good for my sister? As soon as Li Zhiyun spoke, he felt that it was purely redundant. The fifth sister is a princess, a golden branch and jade leaf, which man dares to treat her badly? Unless you don't want your own head anymore.

"This guy looks pretty good, pretty honest." Grandma said, "It is said that he is very knowledgeable, and he writes poems well, and your sister likes to dance and write ink, and now the two of them can be regarded as eye-to-eye." …… Ten days later, they will get married, and you'll be back just in time for their wedding......"
