Chapter 485 Gifts from the world
Looking back at the world, Chang'an is nowhere to be seen, but dust and mist. ----------Tang. Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow"
It is said that when Li Ru saw that the battle situation at the east gate had taken a turn for the worse and that his plan to surprise Chang'an was no longer successful, he immediately fled the battle and led hundreds of his followers to flee south. Li Ru's team bypassed the corner of Chang'an City and then turned westward, intending to first cross the cultivated plains south of Chang'an, drill into the Qinling Mountains to avoid pursuit, and enter the northwest Qiang territory to seek a comeback with the help of foreign tribes.
It's a pity that things always go wrong. Just a short stretch of official road south of Chang'an. The carriage of Chen Long's beloved wife Diao Chan just arrived outside the south gate at night. The fully armed escort was a small team of the Qinglong Army's special operations division. The captain Wang Fang turned out to be a surrendered general of Dong Zhuo's army when Dong Zhuo was stationed in Luoyang. After Dong Zhuo was executed, many soldiers in the army dispersed one after another. A few traveled across mountains and rivers to Lingling and joined the Qinglong Army. Hao Pu, who was the captain of the special operations brigade at the time, saw Wang Fang's outstanding martial arts skills and recruited him into the special operations division to this day.
After Chen Long's strategic move to Chang'an, Diao Chan learned that her husband's main enemy was her adoptive father Situ Wang Yun, and she couldn't help but sigh and couldn't sleep at night. Although Wang Yun only used Diao Chan and used her to devise a series of poisonous schemes, Diao Chan not only did not hate Wang Yun, but was reminded of Wang Yun's unrequited kindness in taking her in and raising her. I dreamed back several times that my adoptive father Wang Yun died tragically under the butcher's knife of my husband, and I broke out in a cold sweat every time. What should I do to save my adoptive father?
With this thought, it was difficult to stop. Diao Chan thought about it and decided to rush to Chang'an in person to save her adoptive father's life. If necessary, she would not hesitate to kneel in front of her husband to plead for mercy. Diao Chan made a plan and brought only two maids and ten special forces members including the guard captain Wang Fang. In the name of going out of the city to relax, she left Xiangyang in a low-key manner. She first took a boat and then a carriage, meandering day and night without stopping. Come straight to Chang'an. By the time Chen Qun, the guard of Xiangyang City, received the news, Diao Chan had already gone far away. Chen Qun had no choice but to send scouts to look around, but he didn't know that his mistress and others had gone to Chang'an.
Diao Chan and his entourage hurried slowly and hurriedly, sleeping in the open air and never having a good night's rest. Finally this evening, I saw the Chang'an city wall from a distance. Diao Chan wanted to rush to Chang'an as soon as possible to meet her husband, so she urged the group to continue on their way. Unexpectedly, they arrived at the tall city wall of Chang'an late at night.
Seeing the gate of Chang'an City in sight, I could hear the sounds of fighting on the top of the city, the light of torches flickered on and off, it was very quiet and profound. Diao Chan breathed a sigh of relief and was about to ask Wang Fang to go to the city gate to report. Suddenly, there was the sound of hoofbeats behind her. Wang Fang hurriedly ordered people to lead the carriage aside. Ten special forces members with their swords unsheathed gathered around the carriage. Protect the carriage and horses closely.
Dozens of military horses came quickly and passed by the side of the carriage. Wang Fang, who was silently alert, suddenly felt a familiar feeling. The high-spirited posture of these military horses clearly looked like the Shandan horses used by the Xiliang cavalry in the past. . Shandan Racecourse is located near Zhangye, guarding the throat of Liangzhou and the Western Regions. It is an important military base for defense against the Huns. In the same year as Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, Dingyuan Marquis Ban Chao and Ban Zhongsheng went on an envoy to the Western Regions. If they did not enter the tiger's den, how could they catch the tiger's cubs? Following his father, he visited various countries in the Western Regions. Every time he saw something, he recorded it in writing, and gradually grew into a powerful general in the Western Regions. During the reign of Emperor Han'an, the Huns' cavalry invaded the Western Regions. Ban Yong served as the chief historian of the Western Regions and sent 500 soldiers to the Western Regions. He joined forces with Qiuci to drive away King Yili of the Xiongnu. In the first year of Yongjian (AD 126), King Huyan of the Xiongnu was defeated again, and Ban Yong's name became awe-inspiring in the grassland and Gobi.
Hou Banyong led the army to Zhangye, and saw that Wuwei could be captured by advancing here, and that the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions were at the rear. He also saw the abundant water and grass under the Qilian Mountains, so he stationed troops here, established the Shandan Racecourse, and founded the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry, preparing to completely conquer Western Region. It's a pity that such a great general finally fell into disgrace and died of old age at home due to unreasonable reasons, unable to realize his life ambitions. The Ban family declined from then on, and later because of Ban Shi's murder of his wife, the Ban family was slaughtered by Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty, and the Ban family was finally gradually forgotten.
Back to the subject, Wang Fang saw that the horse in front of him was the Shandan horse used by the Xiliang cavalry in the past. An alarm rang in his heart. He clenched the handle of the knife tightly with his big hand, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He just hoped that the army horse in front of him would pass quickly and there would be a fight between the two sides. Don't offend the river. Unexpectedly, when more than half of the Xiliang army and horses were over, someone suddenly whistled. More than a hundred Xiliang cavalry immediately turned around and quickly surrounded Wang Fang's ten horsemen and one carriage.
Wang Fang couldn't help but glance at the top of Chang'an City, wondering why the top of Chang'an City was so quiet tonight? Little did he know that the fresh troops from several city gates had been transferred to the east gate to confront the northwest army. Now the south gate was just a fake light and there were not many guards at all. How could they manage this long section of the city wall?
After getting rid of all kinds of distracting thoughts, Wang Fang forced himself to calm down, put the knife in, and shouted loudly: "Who is coming? Listen carefully, I am Wang Fangshiye, the leader of the special operations division of the Qinglong Army. If it is not relevant, please call me quickly. Get back!"
As soon as he said this, none of the cavalry on the opposite side retreated. How could the Xiliang cavalry be frightened? The sound of hoofbeats suddenly sounded, and a horse flew out like a ghost in the dark night fog. On the horse was a man dressed as a scholar, with narrow eyes and a single eyebrow. He looked at Wang Fang with a snake-like smile and said: "It's really hard to find a place after wearing iron shoes. It doesn't take any effort to get here." .Captain Wang, if you tell me who is on the carriage, I will spare your body tonight."
The snake-like smile immediately gave Wang Fang goosebumps, and a chill ran down his spine. Li Ru didn't know Wang Fang, but Wang Fang knew Li Ru. In the past, Wang Fang was a young captain in the Xiliang army under Dong Zhuo. When he saw a young handsome man beside General Dong, giving guidance to the country, he felt extremely proud, high-spirited, and full of spring breeze. Now this person is right in front of me. Although time has passed, he is definitely the popular man who was next to General Dong back then.
Wang Fang knew that he would not give up today, so he turned his wrist and pointed the long knife at the tip of Li Ru's nose. The nine life and death brothers of the special warfare division immediately protected their bodies with the long knife, determined to fight to the death. Li Ru laughed when he saw the tip of the knife pointed at him. With a wave of his hand, more than a hundred people had uniformly taken off their strong bows from their horses, and the densely packed bright arrows were immediately aimed at the prey in the middle of the encirclement. Although Wang Fang and others are not afraid, the poor mistress is in the carriage. Today, he has to die first to see the end of his mistress!
Li Ru's smiling face looked extremely ferocious under the torch light. As long as he gave the order, Wang Fang and others were guaranteed to turn into ten hedgehogs. Li Ru smiled ferociously and said: "Captain of the Qinglong Army's Special Forces Division? The position is so important. There must be important people in this carriage. Children, aim your arrows at me. If anyone accidentally hurts the people in the carriage, I will You pay for his life!" Li Ru's men agreed with a loud voice, and immediately adjusted their arrows to aim at Wang Fang and other ten special forces members.
When Wang Fang saw Li Ru raising his right hand, he knew that as long as his arm fell, thousands of arrows would pierce his heart. He was about to pounce on Li Ru desperately, when suddenly a delicate "Wait a minute!" came from the dark night, the sound was like an oriole coming out of the valley. It looks so clear and abrupt in this dark night.
Li Ru's expression suddenly changed when he heard Jiao Yin's voice. The voice was so familiar yet unfamiliar, as if it was someone from the past. Li Ru was so smart, his body immediately started to tremble, and before he could lower his right arm in time, he blurted out: "Are you Hong Gu?"
The curtains of the carriage were opened, and Diao Chan stood tall on the side of the carriage with her pretty face like frost. Although the night was dark, starless and moonless, it was still difficult to hide the red robe in the torchlight, wrapping a person of stunning beauty in the world.
Li Ru's pupils dilated instantly. Tonight, by mistake, he intercepted the Honggu who was beside Grand Master Dong in the past. Seeing her even more beautiful appearance than before, Li Ru couldn't help but think of his surprise when he saw Diao Chan for the first time. Although he has been watching Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu talking about a red girl all day long, falling into a series of traps for Diao Chan, and although he has reminded his father-in-law countless times of the disaster of beauty, why don't he look at his ugly wife in bed late at night and think of Diao Chan? Gorgeous!
Li Ru was shocked beyond measure. He only regretted that he had never had a chance to get close to her, and was captured by Diao Chan's beauty. Even the surrounding northwest troops lowered their arrows. Who would want to destroy the beauty of the world with his own hands? The beautiful woman in front of her has skin like snow, eyes like paint, graceful as a giant, and graceful as a fairy. She is a gift to the men in the world.
As soon as Diao Chan appeared on the scene, she shocked the vicious Northwest Army. Her oriole-like voice once again penetrated the night and said: "It turns out to be General Li Ru. Please, Jun Nian, please let me go for the sake of our acquaintance back then." A subordinate. As for me, as long as the general doesn't kill anyone tonight, I'm willing to let the general handle it."
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
