Chapter 276 Hebei Qilin
He has been able to plan since he was a child and is resourceful and skillful in using troops. ----------Ming Luo Guanzhong's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"
It is said that on a large sea ship with a towering helm, Chen Long and Zhen Mi were cuddling together at the highest point, admiring the night moon, the starry sky, and watching the rolling waves of the ocean. Their deep love was inextricable, as if they were ups and downs with the waves. , Zhen Mi was moved by such beautiful scenery, her heart surged like ocean waves, she couldn't help herself, and couldn't help but kiss her.
After a long kiss, the two seemed to be one with nature. The sea and the moon were witnesses of their love. Chen Long couldn't help but recite: "The bright moon rises over the sea, and we share this moment in the world. Lovers complain about the distant night, but they miss each other at night. Extinguish the candle and feel the full light, and feel the dew in the clothes. I can't bear to give it away, but I still have a good night's sleep."
The artistic conception was so beautiful and so appropriate that Zhen Mi couldn't help but let out a sigh. Thinking that Chen Long had triggered her interest in poetry, she responded and said: "The pu tree grows in my pond, and its leaves are nowhere to be seen. If you can do benevolence and righteousness next to me, how can I be like a concubine?" I know. The golden words of many people make you part from each other. When I miss you, I am always sad and sad. I want to see your face, and my heart is broken. I miss you so much that I can't sleep at night. Don't think of heroes and virtuous people. Give up the things you love. Don’t give up on fish and meat, don’t give up onions and scallions. Don’t give up on hemp and bamboo shoots. Don’t give up on Suga and Kuai. When you go out, you will be sad again, and when you enter, you will be sad again. There is a sad wind in the border areas, and how can the trees be repaired? Following you will bring you happiness and longevity." After reciting, tears of love were already shed, Chen Long hurriedly whispered comfort, and the two of them were lingering again.
Chen Long whispered in her ear: "Mi'er, do you want to go back to your hometown to visit?"
Zhen Mi's eyes couldn't help but become confused. That home in Jizhou seemed too far away, and her only relative was Liu Qian. However, the Zhen family is still here, so who would refuse to go back to their childhood home and take a look.
Zhen Mi couldn't bear to brush off Chen Long's kindness and said, "If it's not too much trouble, it's okay to go and have a look. But isn't your husband going to Youzhou and Liaoxi Yuyang for help? Will it delay your important event?"
Chen Long said hurriedly: "I'm just about to investigate the military situation at the border between Youzhou and Jizhou, and think of a way to persuade Gongsun Zan. We are going to Yuyang and find a place to land on the coast of Cangzhou. It's not too far off. Journey." Seeing what Chen Long said, Zhen Mi no longer objected.
The next day, the ship corrected its course and arrived along the Bohai Sea to the coast of Cangzhou. At that time, the Bohai Sea was just an endless stretch of mudflats, with no rocks or beaches. It was extremely difficult to choose a place to land. You couldn't climb to the shore by stepping on the muddy beaches. After searching along the coast for a long time, we finally came across a river that went deep into the interior along the mudflats. Several lifeboats rowed slowly upstream along the river.
When they reached the flat ground, they saw endless sparse forests and grass in front of them. It was not easy to walk. Fortunately, the special forces team members were all opening the way, so Zhen Mi and others did not feel uncomfortable. Chen Longling's servants are stationed here to take care of the ships. There is plenty of fresh water and supplies on the big ships. There should be no problem in supporting the people left behind within half a year, not to mention that Chen Long is expected to return in more than a month.
Chen Long brought with him more than twenty of the most powerful martial artists, still pretending to be big merchants and clerks, leaving marks along the way so that they could find ships to return to in the future. After going dozens of miles into the interior, we finally found the first slightly wider dirt road and headed northwest.
After walking along the dirt road, we finally arrived at a larger town. There are also carriages, mules and horses for sale in the market. Although they are ordinary goods, they have solved everyone's urgent need and finally have some means of transportation.
Chen Long personally asked people in the market. A man who looked like a retired official and spoke a strong Cangzhou dialect showed Chen Long the way. Then he looked at Chen Long and others with some confusion and asked: "I'm sorry, may I ask where the guest came from?"
Chen Long said: "I am a guest from Luoyang. I want to go to Cangzhou. There were some mistakes on the road and I got lost. Unfortunately, the horse pulling the cart fell off a cliff and died. So I walked here and passed through Guixian to buy some transportation. "
The old man didn't doubt it and murmured: "Sir, since he is a serious businessman, he can stay in a small shop as it gets late. I was originally the magistrate of this small county. I resigned due to old age and now I am in this county." There is an inn in the center, which is quite elegantly decorated.”
Chen Long said happily: "What I said is absolutely true. We are about to find our place. Please lead the way."
Everyone entered the inn to rest. After finishing their meal, Chen Long was chatting with the old man at the counter. The father-in-law's surname was Li Mingli. Chen Long asked him: "Old man Li, who is the lord of Cangzhou now?"
Li Li frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "The guard general of Cangzhou is Qu Yi, the famous general of Jizhou."
"Is it Qu Yi? The Qu Yi who defeated the Huns cavalry and drove away Gongsun Zan in the past?"
Li Li was surprised and said, "Mr. Long, have you heard of Quyi's name?" Chen Long nodded and said, "I'm just curious. Quyi, who is also rich in cultural relics and is known as Hebei Qilin, only made a small Cangzhou order. ?”
Old Man Li remained silent after asking a question, and then said for a long time: "Mr. Long, I think you are not an ordinary person, so don't blame me for talking about it. I was Han Fu who sat down to rule the country, and surrendered to Jizhou Mu Yuan Benchu at the same time as General Qu Yi. . I am already old, and it is enough to take care of me as a small county magistrate. General Qu Yi was in his prime, famous in Jizhou, and had made great contributions. Unexpectedly, he was also tabooed by several treacherous ministers under Yuan Shao. After Gongsun Zan retreated to western Liaoning, Yuan Shao general Qu Yi General Yi has been sent to Cangzhou, and although we, the surrendered ministers, are dissatisfied, there is nothing we can do."
Chen Long suddenly realized that the cunning rabbit died and the lackey was cooked. This has been the case since ancient times, let alone a surrendered general like Qu Yi. I wonder if I can take advantage of Qu Yi's current situation and leave a spark in Jizhou? Thinking of this, Chen Long took out a pearl from his arms and stuffed it into the palm of Li Li's hand. Li Li was startled, raised the pearl and squinted at it, obviously he was quite knowledgeable. Chen Long said: "Lao Zhang Li! Can you please come out and follow me to Cangzhou? As long as you can help me introduce General Qu Yi."
Qu Yi, a native of the plains of Jizhou, practiced martial arts since he was a child. He was good at fighting and made many military exploits. In his early years, he often lived in Liangzhou and was proficient in Qiang warfare. The private soldiers he led were all elite troops. Later, he was taken under Han Fu's command and became the chief general.
In the second year of Chuping, Qu Yi betrayed Han Fu. Han Fu personally led his troops to conquer, but was defeated by Qu Yi. Yuan Shao had always wanted to take control of Jizhou, so he secretly formed an alliance with Qu Yi and jointly forced Han Fu to cede Jizhou. Later, Yuan Shao turned his back on the guests and occupied the magpie's nest, successfully becoming the shepherd of Jizhou. From then on, Qu Yi served under Yuan Shao's account.
During this period, Yufuluo, the Shanyu of the Southern Huns, kidnapped Zhang Yang, the prefect of Hanoi, to rebel against Yuan Shao and stationed himself in Liyang. Yuan Shao ordered Qu Yi to pursue them all the way to Yenan, defeating the troops of the Southern Huns.
Gongsun Zan of Youzhou made an alliance with Yuan Shao to deal with Yuan Shu of Luoyang together, but the cooperation was not pleasant and they finally turned against each other. Qu Yi was ordered to lead troops to fight against Gongsun Zan. He led his most powerful crossbowmen and defeated Gongsun Zan's Baima Yicong. Gongsun Zan had no choice but to withdraw from Jizhou and return to Youzhou to compete with Liu Yu for territory.
In the official history, Qu Yi and Gongsun Zan fought against Panhe and made great achievements. Later, because of their self-reliance on their high achievements, they became arrogant and unruly. They were eventually slandered by villains and killed by Yuan Shao in his prime. The poor general, who was both civil and military, turned into withered bones in the grave.
There is only one main street in Cangzhou, with small shops on both sides. On the stone-paved street, a group of outsiders appeared, all wearing bright clothes and angry horses, surrounding the master and mistress like stars holding the moon. Behind him was an old man riding a donkey, who was none other than Han Fu's Zhizhong Li Li.
This group of people is naturally Chen Long and his entourage in disguise. Qu Yi was demoted to Cangzhou, and they are the ones Chen Long wants to fight for. And with such a talent as Qu Yi, how could Chen Long, who was searching for dragons in the Three Kingdoms, miss him? The moment Chen Long stepped into the gate of Cangzhou, he couldn't help but secretly shout in his heart: "Jizhou, I, Chen Long, are here!"
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
