173, Dongting Lakeside

The three heroes are happy and sorrowful, and they are hateful and hateful on the shore of Dongting Lake.

If you want to make the troubles clear, you must make the troubles clear in detail.

Temporarily discarded harmlessly, the words of the three heroes have not changed.

The three heroes are happy and sorrowful, and they are hateful and hateful on the shore of Dongting Lake.

In ancient times, who knew Yu'er's heart, and Ling Shen rose up as an enemy.

Implicated in the hatred of the thoughts, please have this sentiment too.

Since the "Six Heroes of Shudong" parted in three or three outside Jingzhou City, Wu Tianba, the "Chasing Knife", Zhang Yunhai, the "Black Yan Diamond Sky", and Sun Kexing, the "Rope Dart and Sword Dance", drove south, preparing to make a "reconnaissance of crossing the river". may also be able to find out the slightest trace of the killer in the rivers and lakes, so as to facilitate the tracking and killing. After the three of them crossed the Yangtze River by boat, and passed through Gong'an, Shishou, Huarong and other places, they went straight to the ancient city of Yuezhou.

In the period of the Ten Kingdoms in the current troubled times, it was during May 907 A.D. that Yang Wu, the king of Hongnong, recruited Liu Cun as the southwest capital with the observation of Eyue, Chen Zhixin as the training envoy of the Yuezhou regiment, Liu Wei as the envoy of the Luzhou observation, and Xu Xuanying as the supervisor of the army, and led 30,000 troops to attack Chu. Ma Yin, the king of Chu, was very frightened by this, but Yang Dingzhen, the envoy of the Jingjiang army, congratulated him and said: "Our army is victorious. Ma Yin asked why, and Dingzhen said: "If the husband is afraid, he will win, and if he is arrogant, he will lose." Today, the Huainan soldiers are approaching our city, which is arrogant and underestimated the enemy; And the king is afraid, and by this I know that our army will prevail. So Ma Yin ordered Qin Yanhui, the commander of the city, to lead 30,000 sailors down the river, and the deputy commander of the navy made Huang Fan's 300 warships stationed in Liuyangkou, preparing to fight Liu Cun.

Speaking of the ancient city of Yuezhou, we have to talk about its landmark building, that is, Yueyang Tower. It is located on the shore of Dongting Lake in the northern part of Hunan Province and stands on the wall of the West Gate of Yueyang City. It is one of the famous three pavilions in the south of the Yangtze River in China, namely the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan, Hubei, Yueyang Tower in Yuezhou, Xiangbei, and Tengwang Pavilion in Nanchang, Hongzhou, Jiangxi. Huang Feihe, Yue Mingyang, and Teng (Teng) Geli, the masters of the three buildings in Jiangnan, who appeared later in this story, also came from this. According to legend, this building was originally a parade platform for Wu Jiang, the second governor of the three armies after Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, Du Lu Su Lu Zijing, to train sailors during the Three Kingdoms period. In the fourth year of Tang Kaiyuan, that is, in 716 A.D., the Chinese book ordered Zhang Shuo to guard Yuezhou, build a building here, and officially named Yueyang Building. The Tang Dynasty poet sage Du Fu wrote in a five-law poem "Ascending Yueyang Tower": "In the past, I heard Dongting water, and now I go to Yueyang Tower."

Good! So let's get down to business!

On this day, it was the day when Ye Wuwu left Jiangyang Town to go to Beijing to catch the exam, that is, on May 28, Wu Tianba, Zhang Yunhai and Sun Kexing had already ridden their horses on the shore of Dongting Lake...... Speaking of this Yuezhou Dongting Lake, needless to say, please listen to a poem of usurpation (channeling) tune of later generations, you can know a little bit or two: Outside the mountain, Qingshan Building, when will the Dongting song and dance be closed? The warm wind makes the tourists drunk, and the Yuezhou is Bianzhou.

At this time, the three of them looked at the confused and mighty Dongting Lake, and couldn't help but be moved by this magnificent scene.

"What a cave in the world! Yueyang Tianxia upstairs! Sun Kexing couldn't help but look at the lake and sighed, "I remember that the poet Meng Haoran of the previous dynasty once said - the steaming clouds and Mengze shook Yueyang Tower!" When I saw it today, it really lived up to its name! ”

"Hah! Ha! Ha! Wu Tianba couldn't help laughing and said, "Fifth brother! In the past few days, you have recited a lot of poems, and you are simply talking about wherever you go, full of sour words, how can you still have the style of a hero? ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Yunhai couldn't help but laugh and said, "The fifth brother said wildly, it is really my old Zhang who can't compare to him." ”

"Hah! Ha! Ha! I'm called a talk show, and I'm only eight buckets high; With the world's talents, including the world's talents, referred to as Xiucai! Show is the world's show, talent is the world's talent! It's not a sour show, it's an old, numb and spicy showman! Sun Kexing still said with a smile, "The opportunity is rare, we are walking the mountains and talking about the mountains, talking about the water when we meet the water, and the world is splendid, all in the bottom of our eyes!" Look at the water of this Dongting Lake, it is really beautiful! ”
