Volume 1 Qingxuan Youdao 1. Escape from Jiankang

Next Chapter

At the end of the Jin Dynasty, Yuan Xi.

At the end of the year, in the middle of winter, at the foot of Qingxuan Mountain.

The Qingxuan Mountains are isolated in the far suburbs of Chengdu County, and they are very quiet on weekdays.

But after the winter, there are constantly migratory birds migrating here from the north, until this time, there are many birds in the Luolong Forest at the foot of Qingxuan Mountain, chirping, and the hustle and bustle.

Compared with the dry and cold land in the north, the Shu land in the southwest is wet and warm. So it's no surprise that every winter, migratory birds migrate.

Apart from birds, there are no other creatures in the mountains that are hard to find, and there are not many animals or people.

This situation has only been repeated in the past decade or so.

Further back, the Qingxuan Mountains were also inhabited. It's just that later there were big changes in the mountains, and it was rumored that there were monsters eating people, and the mountains were gradually deserted.

Migratory birds overwinter and suffer time.

Many birds have nothing to do, and after a while of noise, they slowly regain their calm and rest in the branches.

But before it had calmed down, there was another uproar at the edge of the Falling Dragon Forest. A flock of birds was startled and circled over the trees, before falling back to calm down a moment later.

Then, from far to near, more and more flocks of birds flew up and down, as if pushed forward by the waves in the river.

After a dozen breaths, the sound of horses' hooves was heard from the direction where the birds had flew. A chariot and horse, surrounded by several horses, were heading towards the inner forest.

On the car, there is a large white silk cloth covering the car, but you can still see the purple interior under the white silk.

White like clouds and snow, contrasting with heaven and earth. The exposed purple color was like old blood, echoing the blood stains on the clothes of the surrounding mounted sergeants.

In the middle of the car, the young Sima Wenzhi's face turned pale. Thinking back to the battle I experienced not long ago, I still have lingering palpitations.

Emperor An of Jin did not know state affairs and did not argue loyalty and treachery, and the children of the Sima royal family were gradually slaughtered. After his father ascended the throne, Sima's situation became more and more dangerous.

The Son of Heaven declined, and the Second Guard and the Fifth Army almost became the personal guards of Liu Yu, the Duke of Song.

Even so, the imperial court and the army still had the power to be loyal to the Sima clan. Under the desperate defense of the captain of the Northern Military Academy and a sergeant, some royal clansmen broke through the killing situation of Song Gong under Jiankangbu.

After breaking through the encirclement, everyone intended to go straight to the north, cross the border between Jin and Wei, and go to the Tuoba clan to hibernate, waiting for the day when the east mountain will rise again.

After going north, before arriving in Qingzhou, he was intercepted and killed by the Song Gongpeng party, and the northbound road was blocked. After a tribesman was arrested and killed, the rest of the people turned their horses to the west of Yuzhou, passed through Jingliang Erzhou, and went straight to the border of Yizhou.

Along the way, several battles broke through, and the first general and captain Wei were all killed. Only one general with the surname Gao remained, commanding the remaining sergeants.

Fortunately, the Jin State still had the power to support the Sima clan, and the guards were supplemented along the way, and they were not completely lost.

Since Jiankang traveled to Yizhou, more than a year has passed in a hurry. From the very beginning, I saw the fight

was at a loss for what to do, but now he was only a little frightened, and Sima Wenzhi had a forbearance and silence that ordinary children did not have.

In the same way, it has also lost the innocence and stability that should be at this age.

"General Gao. ”

After the panic in his heart gradually dissipated, Sima Wenzhi lifted the corner of the canopy and opened his mouth to call people.

"Where is General Gao?" the carriage and horse galloped, and no one responded after speaking. He raised his voice and called again.

Not far ahead, a man heard a shout on a horse. After a moment's reaction, he reined in and began to return.

"The last general is here, what is the matter with Your Highness?" asked the man after returning.

"General Gao, everyone has been galloping for a long time, can you take a short rest and eat some water and rice before continuing on your way?" Sima replied after hearing this.

"Back to Your Highness. ”

After hearing this, General Gao did not delay and responded directly.

"The last general and the others have just fought with the minions of the Liu thief not long ago, if they don't leave this place quickly, and then they are caught up by those people, I am afraid that they will be in danger. ”

"The kid knew about it, but it was a bumpy ride, and I couldn't bear it. Sima Wenzhi had expected him to respond like this, and spoke the prepared words.

"This..."General Gao was a little in danger and couldn't make a choice.

"I hope the general will understand. Seeing this, Sima asked again. He leaned forward at the same time and bowed.

"Then as Your Highness said, rest for a while. General Gao didn't dare to accept the salute, and hurriedly responded after dodging. Then a sergeant was called and told to guard the matter.

The sergeant then left, and it wasn't long before the outlying sergeants moved and began to gather around where the car was.

"Your Highness is kind and allows me to rest for a while before I set out. After everyone gathered, General Gao opened his mouth to tell the reason for the stop. Then, everyone abandoned the main road in the forest and walked towards the depths of the dense forest.

"The two of them are looking for giant trees ten zhang away from the front and back, and they are monitoring from a high place. Yin, Xu, Chen, and Shen were stationed 30 zhang away to monitor. ”

After a few breaths, General Gao stopped next to a towering giant tree and gave orders. Then he glanced at the giant tree and pointed to one person to issue another military order.

"Hide in this tree three feet high guard, if there is an enemy attack, first fencing warning, and then make other plans. ”

After arranging it, General Gao took out a white silk from his arms, spread it on the thick roots of the giant tree exposed on the ground, and guided Sima Wenzhi to sit down. A sergeant brought water and rice to the two of them.

"Your Highness, you can't stay here for a long time, at most for half an hour, and then you have to continue your journey. General Gao reminded him as he handed over the dry food and water.

Sima Wenzhi ignored the dry things, took a few sips of water, and nodded slowly, as a response.

He didn't know how to respond with words.

The excuse for asking General Gao to stop was that he felt that the journey was tiring, but this was not the case.

After more than a year of fugitive, he has long been accustomed to the bumps in the carriage and horses. Therefore, the fatigue does not come from the body, but from the heart.

The situation is getting better and better, and the pursuit of Song Gong gradually changed from the initial encirclement to pursuit. After entering Yizhou, the number of chasing soldiers became scarcer and rarer.

But Sima asked him and saw no hope.

Everyone in the world knows that the Sima clan has been defeated. It won't be long before China will change its dynasty. Even if he was able to gather some old troops in the future, it would be difficult for him to recapture the country from the hands of Song Gong.

The fugitive fight and the uncertainty of his future make him want to put an end to the current situation. How to end it, he already has a plan in his heart. After nodding his head, he made up his mind to speak his mind.

"General Gao, I see that you dispatched sergeants to guard, and there are arrangements between the six parties and the upper positions, why haven't there been any manpower on the left and right?"

Speaking directly seemed abrupt, and after Sima asked about it, he took the initiative to speak in a roundabout way.

"Back to Your Highness, this method originated from Shudi. ”

General Gao was looking around, and after hearing the words, he hurriedly responded.

"More than ten years ago, the king of Yizhou rebelled, and the last general went with the army to fight, and the imperial court had a lot of losses in this formation. ”

"Why?" Sima asked, not knowing the origin of the formation, and asked with interest in his heart.
