Chapter 201 Drawing the ground as a prison
The arrows are empty, and people will die in battle and never come back. ----------"Travel to the North Wind" by Li Bai of Tang Dynasty
It is said that Chen Long sent out troops in two directions, one with Huang Zhong's navy heading towards Jiangxia, the other with Zhao Yun leading Wenpin towards Jiangling. The Qinglong army spread its wings like an eagle, flying together. Now it depends on Liu Biao's determination to resist.
Huang Zhong's navy was first represented and supplies were obtained from Yang Huai's latest giant battleships. It only took more than ten days to gather on Dongting Lake and start training the navy. Xi Zhicai, the newly appointed strategist of Huang Zhong's Third Army, also joined the battle. The Seventh Tiger of the Qinglong Army and Wei Yan, deputy commander of the Third Army, helped out. A total of about 35,000 troops were sent out, and only 5,000 soldiers were left to guard it. Changsha.
According to Zhang Ning's information and after a period of investigation, Wei Zhibu Zishan was considered to be basically reliable, and this time he was also sent by Chen Long to assist Xi Zhicai. It happened that Bu Zishan was very outstanding in eloquence. Xi Zhicai discussed with Huang Zhong and appointed Bu Zishan as the special envoy. He took Liu Biao's letter and only a few personal guards to Huang Zu's place in Jiangxia, hoping to persuade Huang Zu to fulfill the Jiangxia exchange. Liu Cong's promise.
Bu Zhi was nineteen years old. He believed in his talent and was arrogant. He passed the imperial examination in one go and was the first to hand in the paper. He also had black hair, white face, good looks, and a charming southern temperament. He was indeed a first-class young talent. Bu Zhi has seen the virtues and accumulation of the Qinglong Army in recent years. Now he is sending troops in two directions. Although the strength is about the same as that of Liu Biao, Bu Zhi is full of confidence in his Qinglong Army.
Bu Zhi's envoy ship officially docked in Jiangxia. The dock inspection was very strict. I heard that Bu Zhi was a special envoy from Lingling. After checking the customs, he was very polite and polite. He took him to the guest room of the outpost next to him to rest. He was posted on guard but was not released. The birds of prey took to the streets and made it clear that they would report to General Huang before he made a decision.
Unexpectedly, it was already sunset, not even a reception official came, but all the soldiers at the outpost changed their posts. Bu Zhi couldn't bear his temper and negotiated with the soldiers. The soldiers only said that the city lord already knew about his visit, but he was busy recently and should be able to receive him tomorrow.
The next morning, the morning passed quickly, and there was still no movement. The soldiers served him some simple meals, but Bu Zhi calmed down. His subordinates all said that Huang Zu was too rude, but Bu Zhi lowered his head and ate all the food.
This happened every day for three days in a row. Congren was impatient with waiting and wanted to leave, but Bu Zhao stopped him and said: "The original intention of our coming was to persuade him to surrender. Now that our visit failed, we left without permission. We wanted to use this to show our nobility. Not only did we come to It is unwise to fail to complete the task given by the lord and make the lord have a grudge against him. He sees that we are sincere, so things will naturally change." After another three days, Bu Zhi ordered people to lay out seats at the gate of the outpost every day. , ordered the servants to sit outside, put up the small flag of Lingling's envoy, and promote Chen Long's virtues, while he sat upright in the room.
His men felt humiliated, but Bu Zhao looked and spoke calmly. Just like this, another three days passed. Bu Zhi was sitting in the room, and suddenly two people slowly walked in. When the soldier guarding the door saw the two people, he quickly saluted and called him Young Master. The bird of prey did not get up, but calmly raised its eyes to watch.
The leader is a tall man, in his twenties, with a chestnut complexion, a neatly shaved beard, and neat clothes. Although he is in civilian clothes, he can't hide his heroic spirit. He has obviously practiced martial arts, but his right foot is a little slight. lame. Following behind him was also a handsome young man with fair face and no beard. His long hair was combed casually into a long bun and simply fixed with a bamboo hairpin. With a pair of clear black and white eyes and a white suit, he looks proud, independent and full of talent.
Bu Zhi sat upright and said: "I heard that Jiangxia Master Huang She's martial arts were inherited from his father. When I saw him today, he was really brave. But I don't know if Mr. Huang is here today. Is it the intention of Huang Taishou or the young master himself?"
Huang She smiled and said: "My father is busy training elites and preparing to resist foreign aggression, so he has no time to see you. I was curious about what Chen Long sent you to do. I have nothing to do today, so I stopped by to take a look. It turns out that Chen Long sent you, He's just a young man who doesn't understand etiquette." As he said that, he glanced at Bu Zhi who was still sitting upright with contempt, moved the chair from someone else, and Huang She sat opposite Bu Zhi, with a rather condescending attitude. The young man behind him held his head high and had a cynical look on his face.
When Bu Zhi heard what Huang She said, he chuckled, glanced at the young man behind Huang She, and asked: "Bu Zhi Bu Zishan. What should I call the young man behind me?"
The arrogant young master glanced at Bu Zhi with disdain, but still rolled his eyes to the sky. Still Huang She smiled and said: "This is my good friend, his name is Ni Heng, and his courtesy name is Zhengping."
If Chen Long were here, he would definitely be surprised. It turns out that the young master in front of him is Mi Heng, who was killed by Cao Cao with Huang Zu's knife because he was proud of his talents and played drums naked in public.
Mi Heng, whose courtesy name is Zhengping, was born in Pingyuan County, Yanzhou. Aowu and Kong Rong were the best friends because of their talent and talent. Kong Rong wrote "Recommend Ni Heng Biao" and recommended Ni Heng to Cao Cao, but Ni Heng refused to go because he was ill, so Cao Cao made Ni Heng a drummer to humiliate him. Later, there was a scene of beating drums and scolding Cao.
Throughout Mi Heng's life, he showed extraordinary talents in his youth. He had a very good memory, a photographic memory, was good at writing articles, and was good at debating. If he used his strengths, he would definitely stand out in that era of troubled times when heroes emerged. However, his bad temper may be innate, and he later lost control of it. He was impatient, arrogant, and eccentric, and would often curse others, which offended many people. In the end, he became confused and lost his temper at a young age. Dead.
Kong Rong commented on Ni Hengdao in his writings: "You are chaste and bright, and you have outstanding talents." He was involved in art and literature for the first time, and he was promoted to the court to see the secrets. As soon as the eyes see it, they are often recited in the mouth; when the ears catch a glimpse, they are not forgotten in the heart. Nature and Tao are in harmony, thinking is like having God. Hongyang's latent plan is a tacit understanding of the world, and it is not surprising that it is true and accurate. Loyalty, integrity, and ambition. If you see good, you will be frightened, if you see evil, you will be angry. Anyone who is seated and resists is a strict and disciplined person, which is almost impossible to pass. A tired bird of prey is not as good as an osprey. If Heng establishes a dynasty, he will surely be worthy of success. He can debate and express his words quickly, his energy is flowing, he can resolve doubts and knots, and he can face the enemy with more than enough strength. In the past, Jia Yi wanted to be a member of the country, but he was secretly connected to Shanyu. In the end, the army wanted to use his long tassel, which led to Jin Yue. A weak crown is generous, and the past life was beautiful. Lu Cui and Yan Xiang also used talents to promote Tailang, and they should be compared with them. If a dragon leaps across the sky, flutters its wings, raises its purple voice, and casts its rainbow light, it will be enough to awe the many scholars nearby and increase the respect of the four gates. In the vast and joyful sky, there must be wonderful sights; in the imperial palace, there must be extraordinary treasures. Ruoheng and others are rare.
Cao Cao did not take it seriously. His evaluation was: "You are a proud son, and you are like a bird with rat ears when you kill him alone. Considering that this person has a false reputation, people far and near will say that he cannot be tolerated alone. Now I will send it to Liu Biao, and how will I treat him."
Bu Zhi had never heard of Mi Heng, so naturally he was not that shocked. He just smiled at Huang She and said, "Master Huang, your father is also a tycoon. He should know the choice very well. Even if I have a sharp tongue, in your case There is no need to use it in front of your father. Now the situation is clear. My lord said that he wants to exchange Liu Cong for Jiangxia. In fact, he hopes that General Huang Zu can sincerely submit and conquer the world together. Liu Jingsheng has already agreed and will never send troops to help your father. If there is no relationship between us, Either solve it by force or end it peacefully. How to choose? Please go back and explain the interests."
Huang She pretended to be indifferent, lowered his head and raised his arms to stop Bu Zishan from talking, and said: "Mr. Bu Zishan, I came here today purely out of curiosity. No matter what Mr. Bu said, my father will never surrender, but I brought Mi Heng here today because I want to give you a chance."
Bu Zhi asked curiously: "What opportunity?"
Huang She pointed at Mi Heng with a smile and said: "My good friend, Mr. Mi Heng, has always been quick in thinking. I heard that Bu Zishan passed the imperial examination in Lingling with a wave of his hand and was the first to hand in the paper. Mr. Ni has always been unwilling to do so. I'm so convinced. You two happened to meet today, so let's take a gamble."
Bu Zhi is also a proud and arrogant person. When he heard this, he laughed and said: "What subject is the competition? When it comes to martial arts, I naturally dare not compete with Mr. Huang. When it comes to talent and quick thinking, I, Bu Zishan, have always been dissatisfied."
Huang She gave an order, and his men prepared bamboo scrolls and served them with pen and ink. Huang She said: "If our side wins, I will take you to this place as a prison, accept our house arrest, and tell the truth about Chen Long's military strength. If your side wins, I will take you to see my father, and let him put forward the conditions to persuade you to surrender. What do you think?" Bu Zhi laughed and agreed.
At this time, a parrot happened to flutter and fly into the courtyard. Huang She pointed at the parrot and said with a smile: "Let's write a poem with the parrot as the title. Whoever fills the bamboo scroll first will win. It must be said. It has something.”
Without thinking, Bu Zhi and Mi Heng picked up their pens, dabbed some black ink, and started writing eloquently. When I looked at Ni Heng, I saw his eyebrows dancing with joy, and he wrote in his pen: "Only the spiritual bird of the Western Regions, with its natural and strange posture. The wonderful quality of the body's golden essence, combined with the brilliance of fire and virtue. His nature is intelligent and eloquent. Xi, he is smart and able to recognize opportunities. Therefore, he plays in high mountains and lives in deep and deep places. When flying, he does not gather randomly, and when flying, he must choose the forest. He has a cyanotic toe and a beetle, and he is green and green. He picks up his beauty and has a good voice. Although he is of the same clan. In feathers, they have special wisdom but different minds. How can they be as beautiful as the emperor Luan and be as virtuous as other birds?
Therefore, the sound of Xian Fang is far and wide, and the appearance of Wei Ling is commendable. He ordered the people of Yu to live in Longdi, and ordered Boyi to live in Liusha. Crossing the Kunlun River, it spreads its sails, and the clouds in the crown spread out. Although the outline and dimensions are well-equipped, they are all added at the end. And its tolerance stops leisurely, and the plants are kept in peace. Don't be afraid if you force them, don't be frightened if you caress them. It is better to obey and risk far away harm than to disobey and risk losing your life. Therefore, those who sacrifice their whole body will be rewarded, while those who have injured their muscles will be punished.
You have returned to poverty and have been ordered to live in poverty. You have left the group and lost your loved ones. Close it in a carved cage and trim its wing feathers. Wandering thousands of miles, bumpy and full of obstacles. Crossing Min and crossing obstacles, you will suffer from cold and heat. A woman leaves her family and becomes a suitable person, and a minister comes from a good background and serves the master. When the sages are in trouble, they still stay late and stay in the country. A tiny thing like a bird can be tamed and disturbed to make it safe! I am longing for the west road, and I am still waiting for my hometown. If you think about the smell of your ugly body, why should you bother to work on the tripod? Complain about the decline of fortune, and laugh at the dangers of time? How can it be said that confusing the order will endanger the lack of confidentiality? Painful for the eternal separation of mother and son, sad for the separation of husband and wife. I feel sorry for the remaining years of my life, and I feel sorry for the ignorance of all young people. Go down to the country with the barbarians on your back, serve the honor of a gentleman. Afraid of not living up to the name and reality, and ashamed of the unremarkable talent. I envy the fertile soil of the Western Capital and recognize the differences between joy and pain. I am thinking about the time and space of Yue Dynasty, so I call it this every time I say it.
If it is Shaohao Sichen, he will gather his bridle. The frost has just begun to fall, and the cool breeze is blowing. Long chanting, longing for distant admiration, whining and feeling. The voice is so sad that it is exciting, and the appearance is so miserable that it is haggard. Those who hear it are saddened, and those who see it shed tears. The ministers sighed for it many times, and abandoned their wives to mourn for it.
I feel like the place where I travel in my life is like a Xunchi. Why are today's two absolutes as different as Hu Yue's? He leaned along the sill of the cage and hesitated when he peeked into the door. Think of the high mountains in Kunshan and the dense forests in Denglin. Gu Liuhe's destruction, even if he worked hard, how could it be as good as it was? There is no fruit in returning with a heart filled with resentment and poison. If you put your heart and soul into what you do, dare you betray your favor and forget your beginning? I have a humble life and a humble body. Stay alive to repay your kindness, and be willing to give up your words to imitate your foolishness. Relying on the kindness of the past, the common people will remain unswerving for a long time. "
Mi Heng's pen did not stop, and he would fill up a letter. He threw the pen away proudly and laughed loudly: "I won! You can go to jail here!" Turning around, Bu Zhe had also thrown away the brush and said in surprise. : "Zishan, have you finished writing too?"
