Chapter 52: The Great Victory
At the beginning of December of the 19th year of Jiajing, the Ming army took advantage of the change of defense of the Hulu Pass defenders, and raided the pass with a thousand households in Longgang, and went down in a battle. Diexi Thousand Households, Chishui Thousand Households, and Pingfan Thousand Households entered from here, cutting off the back road of White Horse Mountain.
The camp of the Xia army in Baima Mountain was shaken, and the army was mobilized in the hope of recovery, but it was attacked by the main force of the Ming army, and it was suddenly lost in front and back. At the same time, the Daomen concentrated hundreds of monks to break the formation, and the main forces such as Xiaoshanwei, Loushanwei, and Baimawei gradually succeeded, and the Xia army, which had shown disadvantage in the past two years, could no longer support it, and finally retreated on all fronts.
In this battle, the Ming army beheaded 4,700 levels, captured more than 10,000 Xia troops, not only fully recovered the old land of Baima Mountain, but also occupied Longbai, Chama, Xiaohe and other places in the northwest of Baima Mountain, and occupied most of the hundreds of miles of red plain grassland, and achieved the most brilliant victory of the Ming Dynasty over Western Xia in 50 years.
This Ye Xueguan meeting was held under this background. Zhao Ran was very helpless, and he could only express hehehe for his "loneliness". Thinking of this, I couldn't help but complain about Kong Xianzun, such a big thing, and I didn't say anything about informing myself.
But when I think about it, I am purely angry. Maybe the county government didn't get the notice until the year later, right? It is normal that they did not inform themselves in time. He is not a person in the government, whether it is Kong County Zun or Jin County Lieutenant, where do people know what they know and what they don't know, and they have no obligation to inform everything. Maybe in the eyes of the county government, he must know.
The news of the great victory in White Horse Mountain made Zhao Ran feel mixed in his heart, and it was really like a lifetime. Since he was escorted to Qingping Mountain and encountered the Xia army, the battle at Baima Mountain has lasted for nearly eight years. In the battle around White Horse Mountain, I don't know how many people died, and in Wuji Courtyard alone, a deacon, five Taoist priests and more than a dozen fire workers died.
Pouring a glass of wine, spilling it on the ground, paying tribute to those Taoist friends who died, Zhao Ran sighed for a long time, and then asked: "Then this big meeting should be related to this?"
Zhao Zhixing nodded: "The big discussions in our Sichuan Province have been stopped for seven years, and this reopening is mainly for these things, rewarding meritorious service and punishing crimes, and you will know the day after tomorrow." ”
Hearing that the reward was meritorious, Zhao Ran's heart moved, but he was immediately discouraged again. He belongs to the secret stake sent out by the Sanqing Pavilion, and even if there is a reward, he will not be in public, not to mention that his only upline is still in retreat, so so far, no one knows about his exploits - in fact, even he himself can't figure it out.
It's been a year and three months, Dongfang Li, are you dead or alive, it's a word, it's so unclear, and I don't see the following, you dead eunuch, it's really hateful!
Song Zhiyuan came back late at night, and was sent to the house by a few small fire houses, and he was so drunk that he didn't know who was going to know. Seeing this, Zhao Ran didn't bother.
The next morning, Zhao Ran walked outside Song Zhiyuan's house, heard the snoring inside, and found that the prison was still hungover, shook his head, and went out of the transfer office through the back door.
Ye Xueguan has always been the Ming Dynasty's southern line of support for the Xia State battlefield, after hundreds of years of construction, the regulation is quite grand, there is an outer city wall outside the inner city wall, tens of thousands of households, has long been out of the scope of the city, and compared with Pingwu County, the seat of Long'an Mansion, it is not inferior.
The inner city is mostly the governor's palace, the promotion office, the thousand households, the warehouse, the ordnance supervisor, the town guard eunuch's house, the official post and so on, in addition, Zhao Ran also found a small temple, called the Guancheng Temple, for the city god.
As a peer, under curiosity, Zhao Ran went in to worship, and found that this temple was very small, with a small hall and six houses, which was really different from his own Junshan Temple, and it was not interesting to visit.
After despising the Guancheng Temple and gaining a little sense of superiority, Zhao Ran walked through the city cave and went to the outer city.
As soon as you enter the outer city, the atmosphere is immediately warm, with many shops and people. Although it has been a month away from the day of the great victory, the festive color is still not reduced, and the Lantern Festival has just passed, so all the doors and households on the street are lit up, and all kinds of red couplets and Spring Festival couplets are pasted everywhere, and there are firecracker crumbs that have not had time to be cleaned, all piled up at the end of the lanes everywhere.
Zhao Ran didn't remember how many years he hadn't gone shopping, seeing such a prosperous scene, he unconsciously slowed down, looked at the shops one by one, and became childlike, took out some scattered copper coins, bought some small snacks such as sugar, shortbread, chestnuts, etc., and watched them while eating.
Not to mention, he did find something interesting. In a small shop selling calligraphy and paintings, he saw a pair of calligraphy, hanging high in the center of the wall, and the payment was made by a mountain guest.
After reading the content, I don't remember that I had written this Tang poem, and if I distinguish it carefully, I can't help but be happy - high imitation, absolute high imitation! Not to mention, this word is quite similar. asked the court's worship of the store, and the guy pretended to mysteriously stretched out four fingers and shook them at Zhao Ran: "This is the true work of the mountain guest, if the Taoist chief likes it, the small one can cut his love." ”
"What does four mean, how much silver?" Zhao Ran was slightly curious.
The courtenary whispered: "Four taels, never overcharge!"
"How much?"
"Four taels!"
"What, I heard you right, right? You only sell four taels of the true handiwork of the mountain guest? Do you know how much it costs?" Zhao Ran was a little angry.
Na Chaofeng smiled: "The outside price, you can't buy it for four hundred taels!" But our store only charges four taels. ”
"Why is that?"
"My master has a grudge against the mountain guest, and he has a lot of authentic deeds from him back then, so he deliberately suppresses it at this moment, just to let out a bad breath!
It's really a strange reason, Zhao Ranxin said that if you believe it, you will meet a ghost.
Continuing to wander around, there is a lot of fun in the market life, Zhao Ran unconsciously strolled until noon, raised his eyes to see a two-story restaurant, holding a "Wangmei" banner, I don't know how the dishes are, what the taste of the wine is, so he sneaked in to prepare to try it.
There are more than a dozen tables on the first floor of the restaurant, and there are already many guests seated, who are chatting and talking, most of them commenting on the current battle situation. Zhao Ran found an empty table in the back, ordered two side dishes, and listened while eating.
After listening to it for a while, I found that it was all speculation, and it was really nonsensical, so I became impatient, and after eating in three or two bites, I was ready to leave. To be honest, the food and drinks here don't taste very good, so I can barely fill my stomach.
At this time, I saw two Taoist priests coming in from the gate with a smile, and they were led directly to the second floor by Xiao Er, who ran the hall.
Zhao Ran looked at it, it was really a narrow road, isn't this Dong Zhikun and Zhang Ze?
After meeting with the restaurant, Zhao Ran also went up to the second floor. There are seven or eight private rooms on the second floor, and Zhao Ran can tell which room these two people have gone to when he hears it.
Zhang Zezheng laughed with Dong Zhikun: "This time it depends on how Zhao Zhiran escapes this catastrophe and delays the military plane, hehe, if you don't die, you have to shed your skin!"
Dong Zhikun shook his head: "That's not true, after all, he is still a monk in the pavilion, and if he can drive him away from Guyang, he can be regarded as satisfied......"
As they were talking, a gust of wind blew the door open, and the two saw Zhao Ran passing by the door, as if they had seen a ghost, and suddenly opened their mouths wide and couldn't speak.
Zhao Ran seemed to be full of surprise, and said to Zhang Ze: "Senior Brother Zhang, you are also here!" I was able to arrive this time, thanks to the help of Senior Brother......" Then he looked at Dong Zhikun in shock, "Ah", and left.
The acting skills can be described as extremely clumsy, and they were immediately recognized by the two. Zhang Ze said to Dong Zhikun: "Prison, he is deliberately sowing discord. Dong Zhikun said with a dark face: "Of course I know that he is provoking, but I want to know, how can he be here?"
