No one expected floods in autumn.

The upstream embankment burst and broke the only way for Fu Rudi and his party to return to Beijing, and the detour did not work several times. Now because of the continuous autumn rain, it is temporarily at the foot of Shangma Village.

A dozen of them were forced to live in an old thatched compound.

The roof was in disrepair, it was raining heavily outside, it was raining lightly inside the house, and there were mud puddles everywhere.

Zhao Hao took his subordinates to use pots and basins to catch the leaking rainwater, and the officials who were responsible for escorting Jiang Ping stayed in another room.

Fu Jiao didn't want the muddy water to stain her embroidered shoes, so she simply nested in the carriage and couldn't get down. Fu Rudi was afraid that she would not sleep well, so she asked Sinan to go to the villagers to buy a new quilt that had just popped out.

At this time, Si Bei, who was dressed in a robe, came back with his trouser legs.

He shook the rain on his coat and panted and said, "My lord, I have inquired, and it will take two months to walk around the official road from here. ”

"Two months?"

Zhao Hao held the basin of water, this kind of day can't stand it for a moment, "The daylily is cold when I return to Beijing in two months!" ”

But they didn't dare to take risks.

Not long ago, there was a mudslide, and no one can guarantee safety if they insist on taking the old road that has been washed away.

It was getting colder and colder, and they didn't bring thick clothes to protect them from the cold. This place is desolate, with only a few small villages, where will you go to spend the winter when the time comes?

Zhao Hao was so anxious, "Is there no other way?" Closer! ”

"There is ......"

Si Bei took off the hat, his face was not very good-looking, "Walk thirty miles southwest from Shangma Village, and pass through a rope bridge, which is Luofengpo." Passing through Luofeng Slope, taking the boat downstream, you can reach Tongzhou in ten days. ”

Zhao Hao raised his eyebrows and threw away the basin in his hand, "It's close to the capital when you arrive in Tongzhou." Such a good choice, why didn't you say it earlier! As soon as the rain stops, we'll go! ”

Fu Rudi shook his head at Zhao Hao and motioned for Si Bei to continue.

He asked, "Is there any difficulty?" ”

Si Bei nodded.

He sighed: "The rope bridge has been broken for many years. We have to reach Luofengpo, and we have to repair the bridge. And that Luofeng Slope...... It was the former Yunling Slope. ”

Fu Rudi was stunned when he heard this.

Rao is Zhao Hao, and he shuddered when he heard the words "Yunlingpo".

"Really? Are we so close to Yunling Slope? God! Hurry up and run overnight! Zhao Hao was like a headless fly, and when he glanced at the carriage outside, he suddenly calmed down and comforted himself secretly: "Don't be afraid, grandma is here." ”

Fu Rudi looked up at the rainy sky, and said helplessly: "Wait for the rain to stop." ”

*

The sound of the rain rustled and ticked on the carriage shed, disturbing Fu Jiao from falling asleep at all.

She heard a few people in the room shouting, stretched out, and took out the compass from her baggage. The compass pointer kept shaking in the southwest, and Fu Jiao knew it in her heart and called Zhao Hao over.

"What is the origin of Yunling Slope? You seem to be very taboo. ”

Zhao Hao glared at her with strange eyes, "Are you a native of Dayuan?" Yunling Slope, you don't know? ”

Fu Jiao received the original owner's memory intermittently, and she really didn't know anything about it.

Seeing that she was at a loss, Zhao Hao immediately sat on the wheel and opened the chatterbox: "Yunlingpo is the ancient battlefield more than a hundred years ago. At that time, the world had just been unified, and the Great Yuan had not yet recovered, and the Khitan united with the Southern Barbarians to raid the frontier. Di Xiao, the founding general of the People's Republic of China, relied on 70,000 personal soldiers to fight with 300,000 enemy troops in Yunling Slope for 7749 days, fought bloodily, defended the fortress through the customs, and finally waited for reinforcements. In the end, there were only 90,000 enemy troops left, and our army was completely annihilated, and the corpses were strewn all over the field. This battle was fought extremely fiercely, the rivers and streams were all dyed red, the soil was like rouge condensation, and the smell of cruel blood was everywhere for hundreds of miles, this is the famous 'Battle of Yunling' in the history books! ”

"Hundreds of thousands of people died, no wonder the yin qi ......"

Fu Jiao looked at the compass in her hand and nodded slightly.

Zhao Hao said: "After the battle of Yunling, it is rumored that this place has become a 'corpse raising place'. The dead, buried in the blood-soaked soil, will not rot, but will grow sharp fangs and sharp nails, day and night, specializing in sucking human blood...... "The story of Yunlingpo is used to intimidate children in every household in Dayuan, Zhao Hao has listened to these stories since he was a child, and it is impossible not to be timid.

The surrounding villagers probably also felt that the name Yunlingpo was unlucky, and later renamed it "Luofengpo" to commemorate the brave and fearless founding general, Di Xiao.

"Di Xiao, you always know, right?"

Fu Jiao is blind to the history here.

She snorted, "Yes." It's dead. ”

Zhao Hao felt that her answer was not very stable, so she changed her previous appearance and said: "Auntie, although you are powerful, General Di is not disrespectful, he is the only person in this world who admires." General Di was short of water and food, and only 70,000 soldiers blocked the enemy's 300,000 iron cavalry, which is rare in the world. He and Emperor Taizu are sworn brothers, Taizu cultivates literature, General Di cultivates both civil and military, and the Great Yuan Jiangshan is fought by the two together, and Taizu has great trust in him. It's a pity that General Di couldn't enjoy the blessings, so he was named General Fenglin and died on the battlefield. The enemy hated him so much that they hung his body on the wall......"

Zhao Hao wanted to cry a little as he spoke.

In addition to studying the Four Books and Five Classics, they must also read "Di Gongbing's Strategy" and "Yuan Shu" in Guozijian, which record a large number of Di Xiao's heroic deeds.

It is precisely because of a loyal and courageous person like Di Xiao that there is today's Haiyan Heqing.

Fu Jiao wanted to doze off when she heard the historical story.

She said casually: "Then you should treat General Di's descendants well." Give some gifts during the New Year's holidays, and visit the door if you have nothing to do. ”

Zhao Hao looked at her strangely again, "General Di was only twenty-seven when he died. He spent his life serving the country and the people, leaving no descendants at all. ”

"Then his relatives, seven aunts and eight aunts or something......"

"General Di is an orphan!" Zhao Hao suspected that Fu Jiao had never read any history books except for catching ghosts, "He and Taizu met in Weimo, and they became brothers after being like-minded. Taizu knew that General Di died tragically, and he was in pain, and he went on a hunger strike for seven days, and later posthumously awarded General Di a lot of titles, what a first-class and first-class Zhenguo Gong, Zhaode Shangfu Loyal and Righteous Zuoyun Meritorious Hero, and recorded the important affairs of the military state......"

Zhao Hao patted his head, "General Di is the only relative who accompanied the burial of the emperor's mausoleum. This year's Taimiao Festival, you can go and worship the portrait of his old man! ”

"What the hell is that thing for?"

Fu Jiao propped her chin.

Zhao Hao saw that Fu Jiao was not interested, so he was a little anxious, and began to count the glorious stories of General Di Xiao to her.

"Yecheng couldn't be attacked for a long time, and as soon as General Di came, he led his army to the Northern Expedition, and the momentum was like a bamboo to recover Yanyun Liuzhou."

"When the ancestor of the Western Jin Dynasty heard the rooster dance, and when the general Di was a son, he got up to practice the gun."

"General Di is very frugal. I don't change my pants and shoes when they are worn out. ”

"He never eats meat. There are delicious foods in the barracks that are close to the soldiers, and they have a bowl of pickles for their own coarse tea and light rice. ”

"General Di's writing is very good......"

Accompanied by the dripping autumn rain, Fu Jiao listened to "The Biography of Di Xiao" for an afternoon and had a preliminary understanding of the young general who died young.

The compass needle in his hand swayed.

Fu Jiao pursed her lips, took out a wad of yellow paper from her baggage, and gave some to Zhao Hao, "Come on, fold the ingots." ”
