Chapter 60 Chengdu Mansion
In the thirteenth century, the Celestial Dynasty was in Shudi, and the valley at the northern foot of Emei. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Wen Congxin was worried about the mending stone in Ba Jinsong's hand, and suggested that he continue to rush to Chengdu. Before the others could express their position, Zong Fang was the first to support, "In Daliang Mountain, I can see clearly with a telescope. The so-called 'Gate of Heaven' closed automatically after the old donkey rider used a clamp to pinch out the stones. It can be inferred from this that the opening of the space-time portal is likely to be related to this stone. If we get it, maybe we can make a passage home ourselves. She looked at everyone's expressions, and Zhizheng felt that it made sense. Needless to say, Zhang Liao knew that he had a talisman match from his heart, and it should be a matter of minutes to return to Danyuan. Now, as long as you follow your heart, even if you stay in the Jurassic, you will be happy.
Everyone got on the horse, and Erpi temporarily perched on Zong Fang's shoulders. With Zhang Liao's yellow horse as the pioneer, the four horses marched north.
The Mongolian army that fought in the Tsing Yi River was a branch of Muhua Li's Western Expeditionary Army, relying on the identity of the little prince and leaving the team to go south without authorization. At this moment, under the leadership of Chi Lao Wen, he has retreated to Chengdu, and he wants to send this wayward young master back to Lord Torrey's mansion immediately. What if the poisoning is real? Chi Lao Wen shuddered on his horse.
In the Mongolian army, there were no longbowmen, only hard archers. This hard bow is actually the prototype of the early compound bow. It is close to the longbow range, but does not have a huge bow mount, making it easy to carry on a ride. Therefore, the whole team, no one on foot, was all cavalry. Even the heavy cavalry battalion, in a state of full speed, temporarily removed the horse armor and leather armor, and scattered it to the exclusive heavy pack horses. Once you run, it can really be described as aggression like fire, coming and going like the wind.
Dust was raised all the way, and the team had traveled more than 100 miles. The former army had a scout report back to the horse, "More than ten Song people were found on the roadside, most of them in strange costumes. The aristocratic young man was still angry, and reprimanded sharply, "Why don't you behead me?" The scout replied, "Everyone knows the Taoist priest who is the leader, and he is a friend of Marshal Torrey, Quan Zhen is in charge, and Yin Zhiping is a real person." "Since Genghis Khan worshiped Qiu and was a real teacher, Quanzhen's name was quite prestigious among the Mongolian army. Chi Lao Wen hurriedly ordered, "Please ask Yin Zhenren to come forward and talk." ”
Yin Zhiping's team was all really people, and they didn't go fast, they luckily didn't meet the Mongolian army heading south, but they were finally caught up by the Mongolian army returning from the north. The ox bone waist card given by Torre worked, this thing is better than brushing faces, once the sergeants kill the red eyes, I am afraid that they will not even recognize their own mothers. He originally wanted to give way to the official road and tell the team behind him to pass first. At this moment, I heard that General Chi Lao Wen was invited, so I had to drive forward.
"Yin Zhenren Uliji! The last general protects His Royal Highness Kublai Khan, and does not dare to leave without permission, and asks Yin Zhenren to understand. "Chi Lao Wen is as famous as Mu Huali, Borshu and Borhu, and he is brilliant, and he is a general who often accompanies Torrey's expeditions. Yin Zhiping has known him for a long time, and he is not polite, so he stepped forward to hold each other's hands and express cordiality and friendship. "The general is polite. How could the fourth prince be here?"
Several tall guards divided the horse's head, and the round face of the young Kublai Khan was exposed from behind, and he squinted his eyes and said, "I was in a panic in Chengdu, and I went out for a walk with Uncle Mu Huali." They go west, the more they go, the more wild they go, and it's not fun. He pulled Chi Lao Wen to divide his troops and came south. Uncle Yin, what are you doing here?"
Yin Zhiping hurriedly shook off Chi Lao Wen's hand, but he didn't leave the saddle and dismounted, but just bowed, "Your Highness Wu Liji." Poor Dao was entrusted by the marshal to rescue the shaman high priest Banza, the mission has been completed, and he is about to return to Chengdu to resume his life. The High Priest is at the front of the procession, do you want to see him?"
Kublai Khan waved his hand again and again, "What's so good about those who dance gods? Uncle Phags-pa said that no one should believe in it except the Living Buddha. This was very unkind, and the Taoists were also put together. Yin Zhiping knew that he was young and didn't care. Chi Lao Wen hurriedly stepped forward to snort, "Now there is chaos outside, and bandits are rampant. If Yin Zhenren doesn't dislike it, let's go with our brigade! We will also go back to Chengdu. ”
Yin Zhiping was not good at prevarication, so he agreed to come down and led Ba Jinsong and others to accompany him all the way.
Wen Congxin found the corpse of a Mongolian light cavalry on the bank of the Tsing Yi River, which was killed by an arrow in the eye socket. It is a head penetrating injury, and the clothes on the body are basically intact. She took off her leather robe and boots, and ordered Zhang Liao to change them. Although this leather robe is also dirty and smelly, it is still much stronger than what Zhang Liao is wearing now. He made his debut from the bottom of the Fujiang River in Mianyang, crisscrossing the rivers and lakes, and he has not changed his clothes. That shirt was the same one that had been urinated on by the KPA on the border with North Korea. Later, in Chengde and Qingcheng, he fought viciously, and his whole body was broken and filthy. If it weren't for his temperament, he would have been reduced to a beggar gang a long time ago.
This loose leather robe is quite suitable for Zhang Liao. Dressed well, tall and burly, free and uninhibited, some of the appearance of a herding man, very satisfied from the heart. It turned out that the homemade hand-woven biological belt rooted in the water of Tianchi was not willing to throw it away, and Zhang Liao still tied it to his waist. Zong Fang thought about it and suggested that he bring the fur hat and scimitar of the light cavalry, and simply pretend to be a Mongolian sergeant. Everybody's got it all right.
The closer you get to Chengdu, the more the scenery along the way becomes. The remnants of the war are everywhere. The looted village was left with ruins, the black walls emitting the smoke of burning, and the smell of burnt flesh filled the air.
The four of them didn't pay any attention all the way, and slipped directly into the city gate. The Mongolian army guarding the gate didn't care at all, seeing that Zhang Liao was dressed as a light cavalry, his spirit was magnificent, and he said that he was an officer like a centurion, and he saluted directly and let him go. In these years, the city is hell, it is the mouth of the tiger, the Song people can't avoid it, some flee out, and I haven't seen anyone who throws himself into the net.
The Mongol army broke through the city for many days, and after the period of indulgence, they began to take the remaining living into slavery, responsible for cleaning up, restoring production order, and ensuring the daily supply of the occupying army. After all, the strategy against the Great Song Dynasty was to rule permanently, not to sweep and plunder and leave. These cities are so rich for the northern nomads that they must be firmly planted under the horse's hooves and become long-term granaries.
Zhang Liao asked several refugees who were cleaning up the rubble on the streets, but no one answered him, and as soon as he heard the word Torre, he ran away. Monk Zhizheng took the initiative to stop the horse of a Mongolian ranger and asked him in Mongolian about the location of the Shuaifu, and the soldier was very surprised when he saw his Chinese stand-up collar suit, and asked him where he was calling?
The soldier was not suspicious, but when he was the great lama sitting down on Paspa, he pointed in the direction of the Shuaifu, "The place where three arrows past there is the Golden Horde of Lord Torrey." Good go, Master!"
The four of them walked forward as they were told, turned a few corners, and came to a wide alley, with a mansion standing in the middle. The Chinese plaque on it has been removed, and it looks like it was the former high-ranking mansion of Chengdu Prefecture. The stone lion at the gate is still there, but it is standing guard next to it, replaced by dozens of Mongolian army guards. Looks like this is it.
Zong Fang asked, "Shall we just swagger in?" Zhi Zhengdao, "It's good to find it, and see the terrain first." It was getting dark, so we found a hidden place to do and study the tactical plan. Zong Fang understood that what he was referring to was the temporary headquarters. nodded, "The land temple we passed by just now is good, the vulgar gods are not taken care of by monks, and now the people are basically gone." Quiet and hidden. Everyone agreed, so they turned their horses back to the Land Temple.
There was no gold or silver in this temple, and there were no people, and it miraculously escaped the looting of the war, and the large and small halls were neat and complete. The four of them tied their horses to the side hall, and Wen Congxin found a small bag of dried beans from the bag of his war horse, which was obviously the essence prepared by the original horse owner. Divide it among the horses. Zhang Liao was busy cooperating with his "girlfriend" and scooped water from the Taiping jar with a wooden barrel in the courtyard to drink the horses. He smiled from the heart, "This water is for fire prevention, it may be rainwater accumulated for a long time, can it be hygienic?" Zhang Liao did something wrong with good intentions, and he was embarrassed. Or the monk Zhizheng relieved the siege, "Don't worry, let the horses sniff by themselves, they won't drink if they can't drink." These are all war horses that go south and north, and their six senses are clear, and they can distinguish between good and bad better than people. Sure enough, the yellow horse took a sip of his own accord, and the other horses drank in turn. Zhang Liao was very happy, and he was busy running to add water.
Zong Fang pointed to Zhang Liao's yellow horse and said to Congxin, "It seems that this horse is also the king." His original owner was revered, and his mount was no exception. "It's a pity that I'm being ridden by a grassroots stinky tartar now, how can I be respected?" Zong Fang heard the words "grassroots stinky tartar", thinking about the smell of the leather robe on Zhang Liao's body, roaring, it's really ......
Zong Fang released the two skins to be responsible for vigilance, and the four of them cleaned up the incense case in the main hall, and drew a topographic map with incense ashes. Zhi Zheng seemed to return to his career as a horseman, and presided over the tactical seminar in high spirits. The front and back doors of this mansion are heavily guarded, and the east and west walls are the best passages. It's just this, where to find Ba Jinsong? Quanzhen's centaurs should have arrived first, but whether they live here or not, it's really uncertain.
Zhang Liao volunteered to go first to explore, and he waved his hand, "You can't use it yourself, you can't understand Mongolian." Let's be together. The two female donors are here to wait for the news to answer. "There is no opinion. The two tall men immediately did not delay, and took advantage of the night to flash out of the temple gate.
