Chapter 504 Tianshui Qiang Flute
Why bamboo flute complain willow, spring is not degree Pass. ------------"Liangzhou Ci" by Wang Zhihuan of the Tang Dynasty
It is said that Chen Long, Zhuge Jin, Yi Jian Ji Qing and Zhi Yuan had a conversation around the fire. Under the catalysis of wine and mutton, the four of them became brothers and their conversations gradually became harmonious. After running out of food and wine, Zhuge Jin reminded Chen Long to set off for Tianshui, and the four of them ended this meal, which was of great significance to the Hu-Han conflict.
The four of them mounted their horses together and headed towards Tianshui along the path along the Weihe River. Lu Chang and other forty riders followed closely behind to keep watch. As expected, there were many settlements of Lushui Hu people along the road. Yi Jian Ji Qing and Zhi Yuan Duo took Chen Long to learn about the situation. Chen Long noticed that in addition to the Lushui Hu people, there were actually some unknown tribes who also set up tents and settled by the Wei River. Most of Jiqing and Zhiyuan rode directly by without stopping.
While peeing, Zhuge Jin finally had a chance to talk to Chen Long alone. The two stood side by side in front of the weeds. Zhuge Jin took out his penis and said, "My lord, what Yi Jian Ji Qing and Zhi Yuando said is not entirely true. I'm afraid things are not that simple."
Chen Long knew that Zhuge Jin was by no means a fool, so he frowned and nodded, "Tzuyu, what did you see?"
Zhuge Jin said: "First of all, Zhi Yuanduo said that the tribesmen would go to Hanzhong for food. There are many flaws in this statement. There is a severe drought in Wuwei County, but there is no such thing in Tianshui County. You see, the grassland by the Wei River they occupied just now is enough for their tribesmen to herd sheep. Since There is grass and water here, and the needs are met, so why go to Hanzhong? Do you have to go to Hanzhong to cause trouble and grab food and land to complete the mission? Then the difference between Hanzhong and Tianshui is that the lords of the land are different? "
Chen Long nodded slightly and asked, "What else? Oops, you peed on my shoes."
Zhuge Jin quickly changed the direction of his penis, but it turned out that the direction was against the wind. As a result, the urine was rolled back and he peeed all over his pants again. Zhuge Jin quickly shook his pants and continued: "Secondly, it is strange that the Tianshui garrison could not be impatient and live in peace with so many barbarians. They not only allowed them to seize the natural grassland by the Wei River, but also allowed them to seize the natural grassland by the Wei River. Aren't they afraid that the barbarians will take the opportunity to cause trouble if they enter and exit the Tianshui city without any restrictions? My lord has always been worried about the barbarians appearing in Hanzhong, but the general of Tianshui is not impatient, which makes people suspicious."
Chen Long finished urinating and stared at Zhuge Jin and said: "Ziyu, you made a mistake. I am not your lord."
Zhuge Jin immediately covered his nose with his hands, his face turned from white to red, and he coughed repeatedly to hide his embarrassment. Suddenly I smelled the smell of urine on my hands, and then I remembered that I had just wiped the urine on my pants with my hands. I couldn't help but vomited a few mouthfuls, and my face wrinkled like an eighty-year-old man, blooming. Chrysanthemums.
Chen Long suppressed his laughter and sighed: "Tzuyu is really a good minister, no less generous than your brother. You are absolutely right. Is there a deeper conspiracy behind this? We need to be vigilant at all times to avoid being plotted. Moreover, Look at the Weishui River, not only the Lushui Hu people, but also many Hu people and Qiang people from other tribes have gathered here. To be honest, Ziyu said, before coming to Tianshui, I had already asked Ma Chao, Xu Shu quickly returned to Hanzhong to prepare for Li Hu's tribe to invade Hanzhong."
Zhuge Jin raised his thumb and said: "My lord... Da Sima is really far-sighted. Zhiyuan Duo is so enthusiastic and seems to want to recruit Da Sima for his use. I think he saw your great martial arts and took advantage of it." ."
Chen Long nodded, covered his mouth and nose, and laughed loudly: "Thank you Ziyu for reminding me. Your hand smells like a ten mile wind, go to the river and wash it, hahaha!" Zhuge Jin blushed and thought to himself How can there be such a bad method, my lord... Da Sima is really exaggerating.
After several inquiries along the way, it turned out that some herdsmen had seen Li Ru's team of about a hundred people, but they could not tell whether there were women in the cavalry team. It was initially determined that Li Ru and others were indeed heading towards Tianshui. Now that they had some clues, dozens of people sped up their horses and finally saw Tianshui City before dark.
Tianshui City is located at the northern foot of the Wei River. The city wall was built pressing against the Wei River, forming a natural moat. Although the city wall is not very high, it is very strong. There are three arrow holes on the battlements. If you attack the city in a field battle, you will definitely be greeted by a dense rain of arrows from the defenders. Xiliang's iron arrows are already powerful, and Xiliang's army's arrow rain is even more famous throughout the world, possessing strong combat power. Chen Long seemed to see the dense Qinglong Army filling up the Weishui River. When he climbed to the top of the city, he was shot through by a dense rain of arrows and couldn't help but tremble all over. If you can avoid fighting a siege, you should try not to fight. Use strategy or politics to solve the problem peacefully, which is better than sacrificing the lives of your own Blue Dragon Army soldiers in vain.
More than forty people had already changed into their Hu clothes and broken into pieces. They managed to sneak into Tianshui City just before the city gate was closed. As expected, the soldiers guarding the gate did not stay in trouble. The horses were all left in a small dense forest at the southern foot of the Weihe River. , and handed it over to the custody of several special operations team members, leaving an escape route.
To the right of the city gate is a large shed, where many barbarians dressed in tatters gathered. It was obviously used as a temporary shelter for barbarian slaves. Zhuge Jin and Lu Chang were also dressed in tattered Hu clothes and went to the locked city gate to check. Yi Jian Ji Qing and Zhi Yuanduo took Chen Long and entered the greenhouse to search. As soon as I entered the greenhouse, there was a fishy stench. It turned out that many Hu people couldn't find jobs and spent the night here on the floor. They couldn't help but pee and pee. At a glance, Chen Long saw that there were all kinds of hairstyles, clothing colors, skin colors, and body shapes, and the accents were also weird. He thought that the diversity of ethnic groups in Xiliang was unique.
Ji Qing found a few tribesmen and asked about the robbers. Those tribesmen had obviously lived here for a while, and recalled: "Yes, yes! About five days ago, there was a General Zhang in Tianshui City, who seemed to have personally killed several people. Ten people and horses were welcomed into the city. I and a few others were in the shed at that time and were not allowed to go out. Who would have thought that they turned out to be robbers? "
Chen Long thought to himself that these days there is no distinction between soldiers and bandits, and you Hu people are also burning, killing and looting the Han people. He opened his mouth and asked, "Did you see a beautiful woman in the team?"
One of the tribesmen seemed to be lost in memories and said: "It seems there is. That day I secretly peeked out through the loopholes in the greenhouse, and I did see a woman in plain clothes on a horse, but her face was covered with a heavy gauze, so I couldn't see Qing is beautiful or not." Chen Long knew that it was probably Diao Chan, and he couldn't help but feel happy and sad. Fortunately, things have finally come to light, and he can finally try to rescue his beloved wife. Sadly, Diao Chan is still with the robbers, and he doesn't know if he was violated by Li Ru.
At the same time, Nayijian Jiqing and Zhiyuanduo were whispering beside each other for a long time. At this moment, Zhiyuanduo came over and said, "Brother Huaiyang, please take a step to speak."
The three of them walked out of the greenhouse. Chen Long took a breath and asked, "What do you two brothers have to say?"
Na Zhiyuanduo said with some embarrassment: "Brother Huaiyang, it's not that we don't help our brothers. But you also heard just now that these robbers you talked about were welcomed in by General Zhang. This matter is not so It's simple, we must not risk the lives of the entire clan. I'm afraid we can only help you get here."
Chen Long suddenly understood. If Zhi Yuanduo and Yi Jian Jiqing were the leaders of the Lushui Hu people, it would be better to say that their entire clan had always relied on the Xiliang Army to survive. Maybe this move south was under the instruction of the senior officials of the Xiliang Army. . Since it was Zhang Heng who welcomed Li Ru in, it meant that the robbers he mentioned were probably in the same group as the Xiliang army. Therefore, Yi Jian Ji Qing and Zhi Yuan had no choice but to stay out of the matter for the sake of their clan members. It was a sign of loyalty that they could not go to Zhang Heng to expose him.
Chen Long nodded slightly and was about to speak when Nayi Jianjiqing suddenly came over and quickly pulled out his Persian knife. Chen Long's muscles tensed up, and he heard Na Yi Jian Jiqing say: "Brother Huaiyang, my brother is unloyal, and he should apologize. This knife has been with me for many years, and I will give it to you today. I hope you will accept it. If in the future, We are destined to be brothers. Brother, in the future, whenever you encounter Lu Shui Hu people, you can show this knife. Everyone in my tribe will recognize it and will definitely provide you with help." With that, he put the Persian knife into Chen Long's hand and spoke with Zhi Yuanduo turned around and entered the greenhouse and disappeared.
Chen Long held the handle of the knife in his hand and couldn't help but feel a sore throat. Just then, a sound of Qiang flute rose from the greenhouse. The sound of the flute was suddenly faint, bright and crisp, melancholy and melodious, and fierce, making people fall into illusion and confusion. , it is really touching to hear it. The sound of the flute seems to tell the Qiang people's joys, sorrows, joys and sorrows, and conveys the Qiang people's longing and yearning for the endless grassland. It is also a deep-seated homesickness, no better than the homesickness of Jiangnan poets. Indifferent.
As the melodious sound of the Qiang flute faded away, Chen Long couldn't help but be fascinated by it. Holding the Persian knife tightly, he couldn't help reciting Wang Zhihuan's famous line through the ages: "Why should the Qiang flute blame the willows? The spring breeze does not pass through Yumen Pass."
Zhuge Jin, who had just returned to his side, suddenly heard Chen Long reciting a seven-character couplet, and blurted out: "What a poem, what a poem!" Chen Long was awakened by this sentence, and Zhuge Jin spread his right hand in front of Chen Long's eyes with a happy face. . Chen Long took a closer look and saw that in the center of Zhuge Jin's hand was a round blue-grey sandalwood rosary bead.
