Chapter 2 Dongting Temple Calculation (I)
Junshan is a small island in the 800-mile cave garden, and from a distance, the houses on the island are lined up one after another, like a city. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe flags on the shore were unfurled, the strong troops were arrayed, and before they reached the pier, they heard a long and majestic sound of bull horns, as if a large army was marching. Xia Cheng said to Luo Tianchu: "This trumpet is to express the welcome to the castle master, and also ask the castle lord to review the army." Luo Tianchu said: "We didn't notify anyone, how did they know that we were here?" Xia Cheng said: "Junshan and Yueyang Tower face each other across the lake, and there are already people who have been helped to raise a fire on Yueyang Tower, and we have a set of codes to use torches to transmit news, which is very convenient." Luo Tianchu understood.
In the welcoming crowd at Junshan Wharf, Mrs. Yang, who was the leader, wore a red cloak and hung a long sword at her waist, waving to the boat from afar. and Zhou Lun, Yang Hua, and Yang Qin are also familiar with each other. As soon as Luo Tianchu stepped on the dock, the drum music sounded, Mrs. Yang didn't know that Luo Tianchu was wearing a mask, and when he saw a few strangers, Luo Tianchu smiled and said, "Brother Yang, I'm here." Mrs. Yang heard his voice, and then she knew that he had changed her face, so she stepped forward and grabbed his hand with a big smile and said, "Brother's disguise technique is really clever, I can't even recognize you." Luo Tianchu lowered his voice and said, "Didn't I say that I wanted to be low-key, how did Brother Yang make such a big show." Mrs. Yang also said in a low voice: "Except for a few important leaders, no one knows who we are greeting, brother, don't worry." ”
Luo Tianchu nodded, and walked down the dock hand in hand with Mrs. Yang to inspect the military appearance of the Dongting Army. The Dongting Gang has been in charge of Dongting for many years, and all the sergeants are wearing dark green water support, jackets and leather armor, and they can move freely no matter how underwater they are on the boat. After the review, Mrs. Yang asked, "What do you think, brother?" Luo Tianchu said: "If the soldiers of your gang are all like the soldiers of the review, then the Yue family army is not to be afraid." Mrs. Yang smiled dryly: "I also hope so, come, I will take you to visit my Junshan Village." ”
Mrs. Yang led him to a high hill and pointed to the cliff. The area of Junshan is open, east, south, west and north, each with two villages, which are connected like alleys, like a city on the lake. There are fences, walls, and arrow towers between the two villages, which are connected by a road, and there are hundreds of wooden houses along the way for soldiers to garrison and rest. There are wharves and docks built in front of the village, and countless fishing boats and vehicles are docked. The homes of the people are located in the heart of Junshan, looking down from a high place, the Zhengjun Island is like a bunker in the lake with strict barriers.
Luo Tianchu exclaimed: "The fortifications on the island are not leaky, it is really rare. Mrs. Yang said: "The seventy-two water villages were all built by Mr. Xia, and even the cars and boats I conceived were also drawn by Mr. Xia, and then supervised the craftsmen to build them." My Dongting Gang has today's scale, and Mr. Xia has made great contributions. Xia Cheng said: "The king of heaven is too famous, and he doesn't dare to be under it." Mrs. Yang said: "It was Mr. Xia who proposed to invite my brother to help, usually Mr. Xia does not open his mouth easily, as long as he speaks, what he says is very reasonable." Luo Tianchu said: "I will do my best to live up to everyone's expectations." Mrs. Yang smiled and said, "The helper is already waiting for the master in Yunze Dazhai, let's go over." ”
The leader of the Dongting Gang is named Zhong Ziyi, the second son of Zhong Xiang. At that time, the imperial court adopted the method of 'destroying thieves with thieves' and bribed the bandit leader Kong Yanzhou to attack Dongting, but Zhong Xiang and his eldest son Zhong Ziang were ambushed by mistake and died on the battlefield. The vitality of the Dongting Gang was greatly damaged, and almost wanted to be destroyed, and Yang Tai turned the tide, assisted the second son Zhong Ziyi to repel Kong Yanzhou, revitalized the Dongting Gang, and defeated several attacks of the imperial court one after another.
Luo Tianchu's first impression of him was that he was a gentleman who didn't learn and didn't know how to drink, and if it weren't for Mrs. Yang managing the gang for him, I was afraid that the Dongting Gang would have been wiped out long ago. Zhong Ziyi is in her early twenties, handsome but not handsome. His 'handsome' has no masculinity, just like a big girl who is shy, her skin is whiter than that of a woman, her eyes are full of tenderness, she has no beard on her face at all, and her demeanor and demeanor even men can't help but be tempted when they see it, like a beautiful woman dressed as a man.
At this time, there were no outsiders in the hall, Luo Tianchu also took off the human skin mask, when Mrs. Yang introduced him to Zhong Ziyi, Zhong Ziyi's tender gaze swirled on him, that gaze no longer looked like a man looking at a man, Luo Tianchu felt a little blushing, lowered his head, and got goosebumps, Zhong Ziyi smiled and said: "The name of Lord Luobao has long been like thunder, and today I saw that it was really a hero, please sit down." His voice was also as graceful as a woman, and after Luo Tianchu sat down with everyone, Yang Tai said: "Lord Luobao, what should these two good friends be called?" Luo Tianchu introduced: "This is the young owner of Sword Qi Villa, Liu Shaoqing." Yang Taixi said: "It turned out to be the owner of Liu Zhuang, with the help of the owner's divine sword, this battle is a little more certain." Liu Shaoqing also took off the human skin mask and saluted everyone.
Luo Tianchu introduced Li Qingwan and said: "This is the princess of Western Xia and the new palace master of the Xiushui Palace, Li Qingwan. Everyone was surprised and said "Huh", they didn't see that this Hanako had such a high status. Li Qingwan smiled slightly, combed her hair with her hands, brushed off the dry mud on her face, and revealed her beautiful face. Since she got the internal power of the Holy Maigen Stone, she has become more beautiful, her skin is whiter, her eyes are brighter, her hair is darker, even if she is wearing tattered clothes, it is difficult to hide the light of the pearl among the weeds, Zhong Ziyi did not look at her, but was very interested in Liu Shaoqing who was sitting next to her.
Mrs. Yang also introduced the heroes of the Dongting Gang, in addition to Xia Cheng, Zhou Lun, Yang Hua, Yang Qin, these people know, as well as Liu Heng, Jin Cong, Liu Xu and other village owners, and focused on introducing a literati named Huang Zuo, he was about forty years old, his family was poor when he was young, he studied hard, and after being raised, he could not go to Beijing to catch the exam because he couldn't make up the travel expenses, which was also the biggest regret of his life. After the change of Jingkang, the palace exam was canceled, and it was impossible to go to the exam if you wanted to, and then followed Zhong Xiang to revolt, gave advice in front of the tent, and Xia Cheng was called 'Dongting Erxian'. Xia Cheng is good at fortifications, Huang Zuo is good at strategy, the first few times the Song Dynasty attacked, he was appointed as a military advisor, and he made a lot of good strategies for Mrs. Yang. This time, Luo Tianchu was invited to command the battle, and the only person who opposed it was him, he wanted to make a name for himself by defeating Yue Fei, and Luo Tianchu took his place as soon as he came, so he was naturally unwilling.
When Luo Tianchu greeted him, he was not as enthusiastic as others, just nodded with a reserved smile, and Mrs. Yang smiled: "This Mr. Huang is also very good at military strategy, and he knows the terrain of Dongting well, every grass and tree is like a treasure, if the Lord of Luobao has any questions, you can ask Mr. Huang." Luo Tianchu was so smart, he immediately understood that he had taken his place, no wonder he had a sense of rejection, so he arched his hand and said: "That's great, please ask Mr. Huang for more advice." Huang Zuo smiled and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, I'm only a shallow learner, how dare I teach Lord Luobao." Luo Tianchu laughed dryly, seeing that this person is narrow-minded, and he may be talented, but he can't be of great use. (To be continued.) )
