Text Chapter 1 Hearing the War
The world is vast, and alien beasts and monsters are all over the world. Later, there were people with great perseverance and great wisdom, and the fossils were turned into iron, and the territory was broken down, and the words were written in ink to pass down the civilization. At this point, the Huahan people can finally maintain etiquette on the coast of the sea and the Central Plains.
Although the Huahan human race wants to sweep away the world and kill monsters and destroy the alien race to open up peace for all generations, how can the division and unity of the world be determined overnight, and one person and one family can be determined? At the same time, the hearts of the people are easy to move, and the power is overturned, and the human race can only hold the territory and no longer have the merit of an inch of land.
Now the Huahan is divided into three parts, and the three kingdoms of Sang, Qin and Qin are listed on the earth in the shape of "product". After more than 200 years of hard work, resting troops and raising the people, the three countries have the heart to break new ground. However, the outside must first be settled inside, and the world, which has been stable for a long time, began to be restless again.
......
Zhang County, an isolated city on the northern border of the Qin Kingdom. The city was not very big, its walls were not high, and its population was only a thousand.
The reason why there is this lonely city is that the Zhang family built it in a few decades in order to facilitate trading. With the strength of one family, this small city can be built, which is enough to show the huge profits of traveling between the two countries and doing this iron ore and weapons business.
However, no matter how rich your Zhang family is, rich clothes and food, when the soldiers point out, everything is false.
Today's frost falls, there is a temple fair in the city god temple in the west of the city, it is very lively, only to listen to the old Dan sing: "You want to learn to be virtuous and healthy, break the demon and evil, and level the world; ”
Lao Dan's voice is old, but he has the slightest grasp of this word, and the charm is extraordinary, and he won a full house for a while.
At this moment, the little adults in the audience did not wait for the gong and drum ensemble on the stage, did not wait for the applause to stop, and did not wait for the old man to get up and bow for a while. directly pinched her throat and said loudly to a female voice:
"I heard that the snowflakes outside the fortress are blooming, blooming all over the mountains, and it is difficult to walk; General Yan has broken through the Tianshan Mountains and turned to the next ......."
The voice is like a turn, every word is smooth and full, although it is a little stiff, but it has a different flavor.
As soon as this voice came out, everyone immediately turned to look at the little adult. He wasn't tall, he was a little dark, and he looked at everyone with a smile, without a trace of shyness.
The visitor was holding an origami fan, a short iron dagger with an iron dagger at his waist, wearing a long shirt in green clothes, and bear-fur marching boots on his feet. A dress is not literate and martial. However, everyone is used to seeing it, and they don't care about this, but shout half-coaxing: "Zhang Xiaoshanren", "Zhang Dagongzi", "Zhang Dacaizi".
The little adult's name is Zhang Hui, the age of the dancing elephant, and he is the eldest son of the Zhang family. Smart and alert, both civil and military, civil and military are not proficient, but eating, drinking and having fun is a Chinese expert. It's just that once his father knows that he is fooling around, he will definitely have a whip.
In the eyes of the people of Zhang County, Zhang Hui is a little stubborn, but there is nothing big about it, and he can be regarded as a good man in the face of major rights and wrongs.
What they didn't know was that Zhang Hui had participated in the family's business three or four years ago, escorted goods several times, walked through rivers and lakes, and had a few lives in his hands.
Regardless of whether the human life in his hands is evil or not, since he has entered this river and lake and has a human life in his hands, he is not a good person for people who live honestly.
Three or four years ago, Zhang Hui was only a teenager, although he knew the good and the bad, but where did he know right and wrong, not to mention that his father forced him with a whip, and he also entered this mixed rivers and lakes.
"Young master, in three days it will be your wedding day, go back quickly!" Zhang Wu took Zhang Hui's hand and walked out of the crowd, but there were a lot of people who were coaxing, and Zhang Hui was reluctant to leave.
He stretched out his head and looked at those people who were coaxing angrily, if the old man knew that the young master was fooling around here, it would be him Zhang Wu who went back to be beaten with the young master, not these people who were laughing.
With Zhang Wu's efforts, Zhang Hui was still pulled out of the crowd, but Zhang Hui had a bad idea in his heart, "Wu, let's go and see the little lady of the Fang family again." ”
The little lady of the Fang family is Zhang Hui's fiancée, and Lu Nianhua is the daughter of the owner of Zhangxian Silk Village.
The Fang family is inferior to the Zhang family in all aspects, and it is even much worse. However, Zhang Hui's mother saw that the woman was knowledgeable and wise, so she directly made up her mind.
How Mrs. Zhang persuaded Master Zhang, Zhang Hui didn't know. As for why Zhang Hui agreed to this family business, it was because he and Zhang Wu had turned over the courtyard of the Fang family and met the little lady. Of course, Zhang Hui couldn't do enough to say yes or no, and he was beaten badly, and he agreed if he didn't agree.
"Young master, it's only three days. Zhang Wu was a little anxious, he was only beaten ten times by the master more than ten days ago, and his back had just formed a scar, "The whip of the master is really beaten!"
"This time we climbed in from the backyard, there are few people there, there are no dogs, don't be afraid, we will take a look and leave, my father will not know. "Zhang Hui is also afraid of his father and the whip, but how many young people, especially Zhang Hui, will be beaten?
"No, let's go back. Zhang Wudu was about to cry. In fact, Zhang Wu's courage is not less than Zhang Hui's, but Zhang Hui's father is not his Zhang Wu's father after all, although he has been treated the same since he was a child, but after all, it is different, so Zhang Wu is still very afraid of Zhang Hui's father, which has nothing to do with whether he is bold or not.
"Don't you want to see the spring rain?"
Chunyu is the maid of the little lady of the Fang family, when the two of them climbed over the wall together, Zhang Hui took a fancy to the little lady of the Fang family, and Zhang Wu took a fancy to the spring rain that he thought was good to raise.
"This..."Zhang Wu was a little embarrassed, scratching his head, not knowing whether to take this risk, and it was difficult to decide whether to take a whip for the spring rain.
"Huh?" At this moment, Zhang Wu's face suddenly changed, and his face became serious. Then quickly lie on the ground, with your right ear on the ground.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Hui asked subconsciously when he saw his movements.
Since he was a child, Zhang Wu's senses have been more sensitive than ordinary people, his eyes can observe the dust hundreds of meters away, his ears can hear the breeze outside the hall, and his tongue can distinguish the flavors of the world. He is a high-level talent who walks the rivers and lakes and kills people and murders, and is a natural scout who finds out the enemy's situation and guards against the enemy.
Therefore, Zhang Wu lay down and listened to the sound a little suddenly, but for Zhang Hui, it was not abrupt.
"There are cavalry, but there are not many people, only two or three hundred war horses. Zhang Wu stood up and looked at the north, and ran towards the north gate as he spoke.
Zhangxian is located between the Qin and Sang countries, and this kind of border has brought convenience to its business, but there are small-scale beacon fires between the two countries, and there are also occasional soldiers who come here to fight grass valleys, which is also dangerous.
Zhang Hui thought about it for a while, and made up his mind that after decades of operation in Zhang County, two or three hundred cavalry would just follow the established response plan, and he would follow Zhang Wu to the north gate first, wanting to see what the situation was first.
The city wall of Zhangxian County is not high, only one and a half zhang high, and the surface is smeared with a layer of soil, which seems to be torn apart at once. As everyone knows, the Zhang family has put a lot of effort into this, and the city wall is watered with two-inch-thick steel, which is even more luxurious than ordinary cities.
There is a lively scene in Zhang County, and it is a bit hideous outside Zhang County. As far as the eye can see, the dark clouds in the distance have pressed down, and the sand and dust raised by the wind are beating the sky in the distance.
Songling barren building, it is difficult to tell the desolation of the frontier outside the city, but there is still peace in this county, and it is difficult for a few people to see the scene of this storm sweeping the north.
"It's coming at full speed. Zhang Wu stood at the head of the city, squinting at the scene beyond the sky. Suddenly, he was shocked and said, "Elite cavalry!
The elite cavalry and the ordinary cavalry are not the same, even if the cavalry is not good at attacking the city, but the means of the elite cavalry are not easy to block the walls of Zhang County.
"What should I do? Do you want to mobilize everyone? Or do you want to go home and inform your father first?" In the same place, Zhang Hui could not see the scene. However, Zhang Wu's words already made him a little panicked.
"Wait a minute. At the beginning, Zhang Wu was more panicked than Zhang Hui, but he slowly calmed down, and his face slowly became a little happy.
Feeling that Zhang Wu's tone was no longer afraid, Zhang Hui's anxiety was a little less. He squinted his eyes and looked to the north, wanting to see the group of men and horses, but he could only see the yellow sand rolling, as if a group of heavenly soldiers were rushing towards him.
"It's the second master! It's the second master!" When Zhang Hui could see the small figure, Zhang Wu had already shouted loudly.
The second master, the younger brother of Zhang Hui's father.
According to the memory in his head, this second uncle loved him very much, but he went to join the army very early. The Zhang family can have this day, thanks to his second uncle, who is maneuvering and working in the army.
Because of the existence of the second master, Zhang Hui wanted to become a majestic general when he was a child. However, because he is the eldest son in the family, he must inherit the family's business, so this wish turned into a phantom under the whip, but this does not affect Zhang Hui's worship of this second uncle.
"In this way, the second uncle came back to celebrate because I was going to marry a wife. Zhang Hui said with certainty.
"Yes, yes. Zhang Wu was also happy. For the second master, he also likes it very much, because the second master doesn't use a whip.
As he was talking, he saw that the two or three hundred people were already approaching rapidly, and they sat down on all the high-headed horses, and the hundred horses galloped with the momentum of rolling waves.
The two or three hundred men were armed with spears, long knives at their waists, crossbows, and fish-scale armor. All of them have sharp eyes and full of momentum, and they should be called "elite soldiers" and "elite horses".
The middle-aged man at the front is Zhang Hui's second uncle, who is similar to Zhang Hui, with a majestic armor, as if a tiger is looking down on the mountains and forests.
The second master is very good, and he has been working hard in the army for the development of the Zhang family all these years, and he still has no wife and children. Of course, according to his own words, he has not yet found a favorite.
The flag flutters in the wind, and the cursive script on the flag is a big "Zhang" character, and the ink-colored strokes are as domineering and flamboyant as a python. However, this banner seems to have experienced the flames of war, and there are traces of blood.
"Put the suspension bridge and welcome the second master!" Zhang Hui shouted loudly in the direction of the city gate, his voice was full of pride, and his face was overjoyed, this is the glory of the Zhang family, and it is also the glory of his Zhang Hui.
With Zhang Hui's shout, the suspension bridge slowly turned down, and the clattering sound told that the suspension bridge was heavy.
"Second uncle, second uncle!" Zhang Hui waved his hands on the city gate, shouting excitedly to his uncle.
The second master obviously saw him too, holding the horsewhip and pointing at Zhang Hui and shouting angrily: "You kid hurry up and give me home!"
"Drive!" Before the drawbridge was completely lowered, the second master threw a whip on the horse.
The war horse jumped up in pain, jumped onto the suspension bridge, and rushed into the city gate first, and did not stop because of Zhang Hui's existence.
When pedestrians on the road saw this, they could only hurriedly avoid a road, and did not dare to continue to stay in the middle of the road. Fortunately, Zhang Hui shouted a few times before, and these people were mentally prepared, so there were no casualties.
After the second master entered Zhang County, the team behind him quickly caught up. They followed behind the second master all the way, and their speed did not slow down. The war horse moved forward rapidly, like a thunderbolt shuttling into Zhang County.
Zhang Hui and Zhang Wu stood on a high place, watching such a team shuttle quickly, their eyes were full of amazement and excitement, but there was also a trace of doubt, I don't know why the second master was so anxious, so they didn't stop.
Zhang's Mansion is a large mansion with three entrances and three exits, with a total of three floors inside and outside. The middle floor is where the masters live, the second is the dwelling of the sons and faithful servants of each family, and the third floor is where the servants of the lower ones live.
As the news of the second master came back, the doors of the Zhang family were slowly opened.
"You wait here. The second master commanded his subordinates, and then controlled the war horse and entered the Zhang Mansion.
After receiving the news, the two or three hundred people did not slow down first and then stop in an orderly manner, but at the same time pulled the reins and controlled the war horses to stop in place. Such a sudden stop is difficult for the elite of the cavalry to do.
The second master galloped to the depths of the house, pressed the horse's head with his right hand, flew out of the air, and landed on the ground with a somersault. The spear in his hand slammed down hard, the tail of the gun smashed an inch deep into the ground, and then walked quickly into the lobby.
"Big brother, the enemy army will come soon, pack up and leave quickly!" Before entering the lobby, the second master shouted loudly.
