Chapter 267 Donglai Taishi
Determined to be loyal and filial, Donglai Taishi Ci. His name is Zhaoyuan Sai, and his bows and horses shock the army. On the day of Beihai's reward, Shenting was in the midst of a fierce battle. On his deathbed, he spoke of his great ambitions, and shared our condolences throughout the ages. ----------Ming Luo Guanzhong's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"
The ship left Yizhou with smooth sailing and sailed into the vast Pacific Ocean. In ancient times, it was called the Eastern Giant Ocean, and no one could cross it. The large ship sailed around the Minyue area where the mountains were intertwined, and its sailing route turned north. Chen Long looked at the seemingly empty sea to the east. Not far over there, there should be the famous Diaoyu Islands.
Although sea-going ships are slow, they have incomparable advantages over land routes. The two places are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers on land, but by sea, they are completely flat. I believe that there is also a group of indigenous people living in the Fujian and Guangdong areas opposite Yizhou. They may be slightly more civilized than the indigenous people in Yizhou. But with Chen Long's technology, Yizhou will soon be able to sweep across Fujian and Yue and establish a new political power.
The sea is calm in winter, and the southwest trade wind blows lazily on the ocean, blowing Chen Long's large ship into the East China Sea. It only takes five or six days to go north along the coastal road, and you have already reached the offshore area of Ningbo and Hangzhou Bay. It is indeed much faster than the land route.
The wind and waves in the East China Sea are rarely greater than those in the ocean, especially after the ship enters the Dai Juyang Ocean. Dai Juyang is the general name for the ocean between Daishan and Jushan in later generations. It is famous for its strong winds and high waves. Small islands have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the shoals and reefs are densely covered, which greatly increases the difficulty of navigation.
In such an environment, the boat boss did not dare to sail rashly late at night. That night the ship docked at a small island and dropped anchor. Strong winds began to blow on the sea, and dark clouds gradually covered the stars in the sky. It turned out to be a rare winter storm.
The storm moved slowly, the wind gradually strengthened as the dark clouds moved, and the waves rolled this way and that. The big ship drifted this way and that way with the waves, causing the people on the ship to suffer a lot. The cabin under the mast began to fill with seawater, and the waves passed back and forth from the deck like a waterfall. Although the sail lock had been lowered long ago, it was still tattered by the strong wind and had big holes.
The front wave passed, and the back wave came up again. The big ship seemed to be struggling desperately, and suddenly there was a loud roar. The huge rope pulling the anchor was obviously overwhelmed and was broken by the storm. The big ship shook desperately, following the waves and chasing the current, and drifted to an unknown place.
On the sea map in Chen Longguang's mind, the red line desperately extended to the northeast. Apparently the large ship has drifted to the depths of the ocean in the far east with the wind and waves. Chen Long watched helplessly as the red line extended, thinking to himself, if the red line extended to Japan, would he have to unify the Japanese islands first?
Chen Long tied Zhen Mi to the bed in the cabin, and with his peerless dexterity, ventured out of the cabin and onto the deck. The violent storm and huge waves instantly wet Chen Long's clothes, making him feel like a drowned rat. Chen Long looked around, but found that he was completely powerless and could only let the ship drift. In front of nature, manpower is sometimes poor and we can only leave it to fate.
Sweeping by the storm, their ship was rocking wildly in the sea, as if it might capsize at any time. Sea water began to overflow in the cabin, and everyone's situation became very difficult. Chen Long had to move Zhen Mi and a group of female relatives to the highest cabin. In other cabins, almost the lower body was soaked in water, and the soldiers were miserable. The newly built sea ship has withstood a huge test. It relied on its strong iron nail and rivet structure to withstand the pull of the storm, and it did not fall apart at all.
After finally surviving this violent night, the next morning the rain stopped and the wind subsided, the sky was clear, the whole sea was calm again, the air was fresh, and the scenery was picturesque. The air was so clear that it seemed transparent, but no one was able to get up to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Chen Long struggled to get up, but Zhen Mi, who was tightly tied to the bed, was still unconscious. Chen Long went out of the cabin and blocked the leaking place on the bulkhead with cloth. Lu Chang and others finally struggled to help. Later, more and more people were able to help. The boss of the ship found the tattered sail lock and tried to find a way. After some repairs, the sail was finally raised again.
Chen Long compared the current location on the old and new charts and found that the ship was already in the middle of the big sea between Kyushu Island in Japan and Qingzhou in the Han Dynasty. Chen Long suppressed the urge to sail the ship to Japan, used the tattered sails to sail westward, and finally sailed the ship into a safe natural harbor. The female relatives finally walked out of the cabin one by one. Finally, little Master Li came out limping with an unkempt face. His first words were: "I will never take a sea ship again!" which made everyone laugh.
The harbor has beautiful scenery. Chen Long looked at the map in his brain and found that the harbor was located near the city of Yantai in later generations. During the Three Kingdoms period, the closest county to here should be Donglai County, Beihai County, Qingzhou. Seeing the two words Donglai, Chen Long's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch, and he immediately thought of Donglai Taishi Ci, who ranked among the top in martial arts in the Three Kingdoms.
It seems that this storm was destined by God to arrive in Qingzhou first. The plan of temporarily staying away from the war in the Central Plains was disrupted by God. In this case, it was better to make peace with it. Chen Long decided to land in Donglai to see if he could have the chance to meet the famous general in the grass.
Taishi Ci, courtesy name Ziyi, was born in Huang County, Donglai. He has been proficient in bow and horse since he was a child, especially in archery. He is seven feet and seven inches tall, has a beautiful beard and a beautiful beard. His ape-like arms are good at shooting, and his strings are not weak. He is a real marksman. He had great ambitions since he was young and was very studious. Later, he was recommended by the county people to serve as the historian of Cao Cao at the age of 21. Beihai Prime Minister Kong Rong was surprised, so he sent people several times to inquire about Taishi Ci's mother and presented her with gifts as a tribute. It happened that Kong Rong went out to Duchang to deal with the Yellow Turban Army, but was besieged by the Yellow Turban Army general Guan Hai. When Taishi Ci returned home from his trip, his mother said to him: "Although you and Kong Beihai have never met each other, Beihai has been caring and attentive to me since your trip, which is even worse than that of old friends and relatives; he is now If you are surrounded by thieves, you should come to help." So Taishi Ci stayed at home for three days and then went to Duchang alone. At that time, the siege of the thieves was not too dense, so Taishi Ci took advantage of the night and rushed into the siege to see Kong Rong and asked him to send troops to fight against the thieves. Kong Rong did not listen to his words and only waited for foreign aid. But before help arrived, thieves surrounded him. Kong Rong wanted to appeal to Pingyuan Prime Minister Liu Bei, but unfortunately no one in the city was willing to escape the siege, so Taishi Ci asked for help. Kong Rong said: "Nowadays, the siege of thieves is very dense, and everyone says it is difficult to break through. Although you have great ambitions, it is still too difficult, right?" Taishi Ci replied: "In the past, the king took care of my mother with all his heart, and my mother appreciated it." I have just been sent to help you in your urgent need because of your kindness. This is because I should have something to offer, and my coming here will definitely be of benefit to you. Now everyone is saying that we can’t break through, and if I also say that we can’t, how can this be true? What is the reason why the prince cares about my friendship and why my mother sent me? The situation is urgent, I hope the prince will not doubt it." Kong Rong then agreed to the matter.
So Taishi Ciyan pretended to be full, and after dawn, he took his quiver, took his bow and mounted his horse, led two horses behind him, each holding an arrow target, opened the door and went straight out of the city gate. The thieves outside were all frightened, and their soldiers and horses were on guard against each other. But Taishi Ci only led the horses to the edge of the city trench, set up the arrow targets, and went out to practice shooting. After completing the practice, he entered the city and returned to the city. It was the same situation in the morning. Some of the servants outside stood up on guard, while others lay down and ignored them. So Taishi Ci set up the target again, finished practicing shooting, and then returned to the city. And after such a comeback in the morning, the surrounding servants no longer stood up on guard, so Taishi Ci rushed through the tight siege and rushed away. When the thieves realized that Taishi Ci had crossed the tight siege, he looked back and took out bows and arrows to kill several people, but they all fell down, so no one dared to pursue them.
Soon after Taishi Ci arrived in Pingyuan, he persuaded Liu Bei: "I am from Donglai, and I am not a flesh-and-blood relative of Kong Beihai. I am not a friend of the Xiang Party. We only know each other because of our admiration for our comrades, and we have the feeling of sharing disasters." . Nowadays, there is a riot in Guanhai, and Beihai is surrounded. He is helpless and in danger. I have heard for a long time that your envoy has a reputation of benevolence and righteousness, and he can save people in times of crisis. Therefore, Beihai is looking forward to your help, and he is willing to risk his sword. Breaking through the siege, I tried to entrust the envoy to you despite the death, but I hope that the envoy will know about this." Liu Bei then calmly replied: "Does Kong Beihai also know that Liu Bei exists in the world?" He immediately dispatched three thousand elite soldiers to follow Taishi Ci. Return to the capital Chang. When the thieves heard that reinforcements had arrived, they all hurriedly broke up and dispersed. After Kong Rong was relieved, he paid more attention to Taishi Ci and said, "You are really my young friend." After the incident, Taishi Ci returned the favor to his mother, who also said, "I am very glad that you were able to repay Kong Beihai! "
According to the official history, Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, and Taishi Ci were in the same county. Taishi Ci had not seen each other since he left Liaodong and returned. So Taishi Ci also crossed the river to Qu'a to see Liu Yao. Before he left, Sun Ce had already attacked Dong'a. . Some people advised Liu Yao to appoint Tai Shi Ci as a general to reject Sun Ce, but Liu Yao said: "If I use Zi Yi, General Xu will laugh at me for not knowing how to employ people." Therefore, he only ordered Tai Shi Ci to monitor the military situation. When they arrived at the Shenting, Taishi Ci alone and a group of pawns met Sun Ce. At that time, Sun Ce had thirteen servants, all of whom were brave men such as Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Song Qian. Taishi Ci was not afraid to come forward to fight, and was fighting Sun Ce. Sun Ce stabbed Taishi Ci and dismounted, and even grabbed Taishi Ci's halberd tied behind his neck, while Taishi Ci also grabbed Sun Ce's helmet. It wasn't until the two armies reached Shenting that they stopped fighting and dispersed.
Later, Taishi Ci guarded Liu Yao's defeat and fled to Yuzhang. He fled to Wuhu and fled into the mountains, where he was called the governor of Danyang. At the same time, Sun Ce had already pacified the area east of Xuancheng, but six counties to the west of Jing County had not yet been pacified. Taishi Ci immediately stationed in Jing County, stationed troops and established a mansion, which was attached to Shanyue. Later, Sun Ce personally attacked Jingxian County and finally imprisoned Taishi Ci. When Sun Ce saw Ci, he immediately untied him, held his hand and said, "Do you still remember the battle at Shenting? If you had captured me alive, what would you have done with me?" Taishi Ci said, "It's unknown." Sun Ce He laughed and said, "I will go forward with you in the future." That is to say, he worshiped Tai Shi Ci as his subordinate governor, granted him military power to Empress Wu, and worshiped General Chong Zhonglang. Later, Liu Yao died in Yuzhang, and there were more than ten thousand soldiers under his command, so Sun Ce ordered Tai Shici to go and appease the soldiers. Everyone on the left and right said: "Tai Shi Ci will go north and not return." Sun Ce said with confidence: "Ziyi has abandoned me, who else can he go to?" He went to Changmen to bid farewell to him, and before leaving, he He held Taishi Ci's wrist and asked, "When can I come back?" Taishi Ci replied, "Only sixty days." Sure enough, he returned as scheduled.
Taishi Ci's archery skills are indeed famous in history. He followed Sun Ce to attack the Ma Bao bandits. One of the thieves insulted Sun Ce's army on the tower in Tunli and held his hand on the tower pole. Taishi Ci drew his bow and shot at him. The arrow pierced his wrist. Instead, he was nailed to the roof of the building, and tens of thousands of people watched, all praising him for his kindness. Cao Cao heard about his reputation and sent a letter to Taishi Ci. He sealed it in a box with nothing much inside, but put a small amount of Angelica sinensis, which meant that Taishi Ci should surrender to him. Later, Sun Quan took charge of the affairs, and because Taishi was kind enough to restrain Liu Pan, he entrusted him with major affairs in the south. He died of illness in the eleventh year of Jian'an at the age of only forty-one.
When Taishi Ci was about to die, he sighed: "When a man is born in the world, he should carry a three-foot long sword to rise to the emperor's palace. Now that he has not followed his ambition, he will die!" Sun Quan knew about Ci's death and was very sad. Cherish. His son Taishi enjoyed the title of heir, with the title of Yuan Fu, Li Shangshu, and Wu Commandery's Grand Administrator. He became the captain of the Yue Cavalry School.
After Chen Long read Tai Shici's introduction, the boat just arrived at the shore of the harbor. A team of several hundred people quickly went ashore towards Donglai and disappeared into the deep weeds along the coast.
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
