Chapter 25 Talk around the fire and at night

Tang Zimu was stunned for a moment and said: "This is the first time I have heard this poem, the first two sentences are embedded with the word 'Binwang', and the last two sentences are embedded with 'Xiao Yu', which is very ingenious." ”

Luo Bin Wang Muran said: "Alas, it's just that it's very different now. Naturally, I couldn't realize my ambition back then, but Lin Xiaoyu dyed him in a red robe with the blood of a soldier, I am afraid that he has already fulfilled Lingyun's ambition and enjoyed fame and wealth. ”

Tang Zimu smiled noncommittally: "Really?" and turned back to Lin Jianlan and said, "Young Master Lin, since you know Elder Dazhi's original family name and surname, do you have some clues?"

Lin Jianlan muttered: "More than ten years ago, Xu Jingye passed through Yangzhou when he was demoted to his post, and Tang Zhiqi, Luo Bingwang and others, who were also demoted to the south, planned to raise troops against today's son, calling himself Yangzhou Sima, with Kuang Fu Tang Dynasty as the number, the army was unstoppable, and his right-hand man Luo Bingwang released "Seeking Martial Arts", the world was angry, and there were countless people who joined the army, and the morale was high. Later, Jinshang repeatedly sent troops to suppress and suppress it, but Xu Jingye was finally defeated, and his brothers were killed. ”

Although King Luo Bing's face was not shocked, his eyes were already slightly damp, and Tang Zimu said: "In that past, what Lin Gongzi said was generally good. At that time, Xu Jingye was entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River, which could be regarded as a geographical advantage, and King Luo Bing won the hearts of the people in the world for him.

Lin Jianlan looked at the man in white, and saw that he was not young, about fifty years old, but he was not as sad as Luo Bingwang, and there was a kind of perseverance in his eyes. I also heard Tang Zimu say: "The folk ballad that day, 'Qiu Mei' and 'Fengzhu' both have names and surnames, only 'Chao Song' one person, I never know his real name and surname, and I don't know when to take refuge in Xu Sima to discuss the great cause, as for why he can be as famous as Luo Bingwang and Lin Xiaoyu of Xu Jingye's think tank, I am afraid that the two of the Imperial Kou Division should have some experience." ”

Yun Mengzhi said proudly: "When the poor road arrived at the Imperial Kou Division, the rebel thief had already failed, but there were some records, that is, the Imperial Kou Division had continuously sent people to assassinate and snipe Xu Jingye during the war for a year, and a number of masters from the general department to the division dispatched countless masters, and the result was that they were all defeated by the hands of the 'chaotic loose', and they returned with a feather, hehe, if it was the poor road, it may not be able to defeat this 'chaotic pine' Excellency!"

Tang Zimu said: "Yun Dao Chang has outstanding martial arts, and he is handsome and romantic, so he is naturally not comparable to the old man of his predecessor." It's just that in addition to his outstanding martial arts, this 'chaotic song' has also cultivated a group of dead soldiers for Xu Jingye, specializing in some strange formations, one to protect Xu Jingye, and the other is to be used as a top soldier in the army when it is critical, which often has a surprise effect. Xu Jingye escaped death several times, all of them were guarded by him from the side to turn the danger into safety, until Xu Jingye was defeated in the war, there were deserters who said "Chao Song" has been escorting him to Runzhou to try to escape to Goryeo from the sea, Xu Jingye was captured and killed by his subordinates, that "Chao Song" and hundreds of defecting subordinates fought to the death, and finally did not know what to do, compared with the ancient knights, not inferior, whenever I think of this, I can't help but praise a 'hero'!"

Lin Jianlan said in his heart: "He has always been loyal to the Lord, no wonder King Luo Bin tried his best to protect him after hearing his voice." ”

The man in black didn't speak, only stared at "Ransong" thoughtfully: "I listened to his words just now, especially with bad intentions, I'm afraid that the potential Chang'an is secretly active, but it's a pity that he hides his face and can't see clearly, otherwise it will be a great achievement." Looking at Yun Mengzhi again, seeing that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his expression was slightly disdainful, he knew that he was competitive again, thinking that this extremely simple errand tonight was so embarrassing, he sighed in his heart, how could he not make a mistake, and then he was always a little bit close to success, but it was still a failure.

Luo Bin Wang said: "That person once said: 'The original similarities between the martial arts move formation and the art of war, although Chao Song does not say much on weekdays, but the wisdom should not be inferior to you and me, especially this hidden and forbearance kung fu, which is beyond our reach. More than ten years ago, I was forced out of the house, in exchange for a living and stealing, at the beginning I hoped that maybe you could come to the rescue, but never saw, so finally died, only to say that you have died in Runzhou, see you today, like in a dream. ”

Tang Zimu sighed softly: "Xu Jingye is really overkill when he uses Your Excellency as a guard. The person who said this was Lin Gongzi's father. ”

"Chao Song" said: "I am not as good as Luo Bingwang, and the military formation is not as good as Lin Xiaoyu, this leading the troops to fight, if a few people have their own opinions, it will only make the boss waver and his will is not strong, since he is like-minded, he must get rid of this greedy heart, why should I add more trouble?"

Tang Zimu said: "Your Excellency is open-minded, does not care about fame and fortune, and really makes the younger generations admire." ”

Lin Jianlan nodded and said: "The three gentlemen in the same column naturally have extraordinary abilities that are incomparable with ordinary people. Although he also admired this "loose and loose" very much, but after Tang Zimu finished talking about the first two, he would talk about his father next, and he was already a little absent-minded when he spoke.

Tang Zimu said: "Lin Gongzi once said about Xu Jingye's defeat earlier, and the inside story was not preached by ordinary people, and after many years, many things were forgotten. Elder Dazhi's hatred for your father has not been eliminated for more than ten years, and it is because of this failure that it was caused by the 'Wind Bamboo'. ”

Lin Jianlan was in the Temple of Mercy and Grace before, but he felt that his father might have betrayed his friends to seek wealth, and at this moment he slowly heard that it was related to the anti-martial arts incident back then, and at this moment he was directly explained by Tang Zimu, and he was speechless in shock.

Tang Zimu saw that his expression changed greatly, shook his head and said: "Back then, Xu Jingye Gao Shuxing Tang Yizhi, although he sent troops to suppress it several times, he was defeated again and again, and there were constantly defectors in the army to join it to help his prestige. ”

Lin Jianlan said in a trembling voice: "What does this have to do with my father?"

Tang Zimu said: "Among the three people, 'Fengzhu' is the youngest, but he is clever and calm, and he does not have the slightest arrogance that young people are accustomed to. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Zimu looked at Lin Jianlan and said: "There are still some things, although they are not very related, but for Lin Gongzi, every bit is precious. ”

For the first time since he saw Tang Zimu, Lin Jianlan felt that he was so understanding, not as hateful as he thought, and his throat choked slightly: "Thank you, Brother Tang." ”

Tang Zimu said: "Lin Gongzi makes people feel cordial when they see it, I am afraid that his appearance is also very similar to the" Fengzhu ", Ling Zun he is handsome, people see and forget the vulgar, no matter how noble or low, they are very kind, it is rumored that there are many women who belong to him, including Xu Sima's daughter. ”

Lin Jianlan was stunned for a while, not knowing if the daughter of Xu Sima that Tang Zimu said was the "she" in the mouth of Elder Dazhi, and said hurriedly: "But when my father left home, he already had a mother...... And with me, don't those women know?"

Tang Zimu said with a smile: "This is naturally 'Fengzhu' deliberately concealing that he has a family, but he let those young girls who are pregnant with spring hurt in vain." It's just that the more he hides, the more he can show that he cares about you and your mother very much, and he knows in his heart that once he fails, it will affect his family, so it is better to be a kite with a broken string, even if something happens to him, but no one can find you, you can still live a peaceful life. Lin Gongzi, I don't care how he is a person, but he really has good intentions for you. ”

Lin Jianlan endured it until this time, and was finally moved by Tang Zimu's words, tears fell, and a handkerchief was handed out of the carriage, he reached out to take it, wiped it, and listened to Tang Zimu again: "If Xu Jingye is done, he will be the first hero of the Tang Dynasty, his daughter is beautiful and talented, and naturally there are many young talents to pursue, but she only cares about 'Fengzhu' alone, just a thin life, Gaoyou battle, I heard that she threw herself into the river and died in the fire." ”

King Luo Bing was silent for a long time, and finally spoke at this moment: "What ......do you do to mention these trivial matters?"

Tang Zimu said: "Just now" Ransong "once said, leading the troops to fight, if a few people have their own opinions, it will only make the boss waver and not strong-willed, since the 'Fengzhu' strategy has won again and again, the team has grown stronger and stronger, and he is quite good at boosting morale in the military camp, and the order is strict and humane, so later, 'Fengzhu' has become the person Xu Jingye relies on the most, and the ballad puts him in the last position because of his youth, in fact, at that time, his status was the highest among the three. Am I right, you two?"

King Luo Bin and the man in white glanced at each other, and after a long time, Fang nodded, and said, "Yes, when it is irreparable, it is in vain to be resentful, and it is useless to be a scholar." ”

Tang Zimu said: "Xu Jingye can have the momentum of the day, your father is indispensable, when I heard that the decision was made, the important figures of the whole army gathered together to discuss whether to attack Luoyang in the north, or to take Changzhou and Runzhou in the south." Because it is an extremely important decision, the two propositions of going south and going north have their own opinions, and those who insist on going south all believe that before the decisive battle comes, they can expand their forces as much as possible and gain a firm foothold, and if there is a mistake, there is still a way to retreat. 'Fengzhu' tried his best to disagree with the public, and the rest of the words were not very remembered by the younger generations, but only one sentence is still unforgettable, he said: 'For the sake of righteousness, what is there to fear? How can you be a woman when you are about to achieve great success? You should go straight to Luoyang with all your might, and return me to the world! May Sima not forget his ambition to raise troops!' From this statement, the rest of the people were all impressed, and only then did they decide to go north to Luoyang. ”

Lin Jianlan said: "Since my father has already proposed to go north to attack Luoyang, why does Xu Jingye's wreck still be counted on his head?"

Tang Zimu said: "The most fickle and easily shaken thing in the world is the people's hearts, when the army was well prepared in all aspects, Xu Jingye suddenly changed his mind and wanted to go south to capture Runzhou, and your father also agreed." ”

Lin Jianlan said to himself: "What if Xu Jingye makes up his mind and can't move, what is my father's guilt?"

Tang Zimu saw that he was eager to defend himself, held his shoulder and said, "Lin Gongzi, don't worry, listen to me." Xu Jingye is not good at fighting, and he relies on the advice of 'Fengzhu' the most on weekdays, since it is a decision made by everyone together, he will not change it easily, if there is a change, it can only be 'Fengzhu' who re-proposes to him behind everyone's back, which shakes his idea of going north. Although everyone had doubts, it was not bad to capture Runzhou, but unexpectedly at that time Li Xiaoyi's army had approached Yangzhou, Xu Jingye called himself 'Yangzhou Sima', and naturally attached great importance to this place of origin, so he turned back from Runzhou and fought in Gaoyou. Li Xiaoyi has suffered a few defeats in the hands of the righteous army, it stands to reason that even if it comes to this point, the winner or loser has not yet been decided, and there is also a 'wind bamboo' from the side, but unexpectedly defeated and retreated, the advance strategy and deployment seemed to have been known by the other party, and finally Li Xiaoyi made a fire attack plan, the grain and grass burned into a piece, the witnesses had a sea of fire in the camp, countless people rushed to jump into the river first, and then the river water was also boiling hot, after jumping down, screaming and shouting again and again, listening to the sound was like going to hell. ”

Although Yun Mengzhi and the others acted according to orders, they never knew the reason, and when they heard Tang Zimu talk so carefully, they were extremely engrossed, and their eyes were only staring at Tang Zimu, hoping that he would confide in his past.

Lin Jianlan's heart trembled when he heard this, and said, "Even so, ......"

Before he could defend himself, he was interrupted by King Luo Bin: "Master Lin, you don't have to argue, waving the army south, there may be other considerations, if you choose the wrong decision, the defeat of the whole army is not his responsibility alone, although the old man is not talented, but he also knows that the battlefield is extremely variable, and he will not defile him out of thin air." ”

He just looked at the fire, his eyes were full of fiery red, as if he was there, and said faintly: "Xu Sima fled to Runzhou after the defeat, and he will not leave his daughter alone if he is defeated, but she herself is unwilling to go." When she threw herself into the river, she only stood in the fire, her hair was slightly rolled up by the flames around her, and her clothes were also burned, and she refused to let her out, and whoever wanted to go in would put the dagger in her hand in her heart, and she only heard her say in the fire: 'Why did I believe him, why did I send him such a letter privately?' He said that he would not hurt his father, hahahaha. We only felt that there was something hidden in this, so we asked her which one asked her to send the letter and what to send, but she did not answer, but looked around, and muttered: 'Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, where are you?' I sent you a letter, why don't you stay with me?' The fire was already burning bigger and bigger, and if she was not rescued, she would be burned alive. For more than ten years, Lao Wei has always had her appearance in his eyes, and he has always had an unsolvable question in his heart, why did such a fierce fire never dry the two lines of tears on her face?
