"Xiong Yuan, pack your things and take the young master away as soon as my husband and I divert the team. My child, if your mother is not with you from now on, you have to take care of yourself."
Yuan Shi hasn't experienced the feeling of heartbeat for a long time.
After he learned that Cui Zhu was on the way, his already calm heart began to beat rapidly again. For the first time in history, he worried about what to wear.
Looking at the all-too-familiar face in the bronze mirror, he is still so handsome, but there are some wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and brows, and these wrinkles add to his mature and steady temperament.
Time flies, turning him from a handsome young man into a handsome uncle. Looking back on the past, everything seems to have happened yesterday. Yuan Shi is not a sad person, and he does not feel much about it. Only for He Cui Zhu's past events haunted him.
Just when he had not thought about what to say when he reunited with his beloved, a servant hurriedly came in and told him that the Shi family's vehicle had arrived at the gate of Shen's mansion.
He took another look at himself in the bronze mirror, which looked exactly like the way he dressed when he first met Cui Zhu. He nodded with satisfaction and walked out expectantly.
He ignored the gray-faced Shi Zhong, the richest man in Jin Dynasty, who was standing next to the car. His eyes were focused behind the slowly opening car curtain. The moment Cui Zhu got out of the car, time seemed to have returned to the past. Back to the outskirts of Langya at that time.
His Adam's apple moved involuntarily, and he, who had always been so articulate, was suddenly speechless.
The beauty is still so beautiful, and the ruthless time seems to be particularly merciful to her, leaving almost no traces of time on her body.
At this moment, Yuan Shi's eyes suddenly became moist, and he was suddenly as nervous as the young man in his early twenties when he first met Cui Zhu.
"Zhu'er, you and I finally meet again." Mr. Shen, the powerful man, said softly with a slightly trembling voice.
"Is the sword on your waist still the one I gave you as a gift?"
"Exactly," Yuan Shi said quickly: "It has been by my side to accompany me all these years."
"Can you let me see it again?" Cui Zhu said with a smile.
Yuan Shi immediately untied the long sword, held it with both hands, and was about to send it over in person. However, he saw Cui Zhuyu's hand, and a strong force had already grabbed the sword out of thin air. She looked at the scabbard quietly, and spoke leisurely. He asked: "How many years has it been since we said goodbye?"
"Twenty-eight years and seven months."
"It's rare that you remember it so clearly." Cui Zhu raised her head and said calmly: "I can't even remember it."
Seeing that Yuan Shi was stunned when he heard this, she continued to talk to herself: "But I can remember when my children were born, and even when they were born. I can remember how they grew up. Every moment of growth, I can remember what they like and don't like. Mr. Shen, things used to be wonderful in the past. But things have reached such a stage. I really regret that I was so young and ignorant and fell in love with you so much. A person with no bottom line. This matter started because of me, so let it end here. Since I, Cui Zhu, have married into the Shi family, I will be a member of the Shi family in life and death. Husband, we will see you in the next life!"
After Cui Zhu said this, she touched her neck with the sword in her hand. The beauty of the generation slowly withered and fell.
"Zhu'er!" Shi Zhong shouted sadly and indignantly, holding Cui Zhu's slowly falling body with tears streaming down his face. Then he looked up fiercely at Yuan Shi, who seemed to have lost his soul, and suddenly reached out to dig out his body.
With one of his eyes covered in blood, he shouted sternly: "Yuan Shi, Shi Zhong and I, Mr. and Mrs. Shi, go first. I kept this eye just to see how you, a man without a king and a father, will be punished by others in the future!"
"
After Shi Zhong said this, he immediately picked up the sword that had fallen aside and wiped it on his neck. The couple just hugged each other and lay down together.
Yingshui originates from Songshan Mountain in Zhongyue, meanders eastward, flows through Yangcheng, Yangzhai, Xuchang and other places, and finally flows into the Huaihe River. Both sides of Yingshui have always been popular with culture. It is said that the ancient great sage Dayu summoned the tribes from all over the world in Yangcheng.
The leader was finally elected as the master of the world by everyone.
Since then, there have been countless sages and famous ministers on both sides of the Yingshui River throughout history. Especially in the late Shang Dynasty, more than half of the Yingshui celebrities who assisted Emperor Wu of Zhou to unify the north accounted for more than half of the Yingshui celebrities. At that time, they were known as half of the Yingshui celebrities in the world!
Longxiang General Dong Ai was born near Yingshui River. He was a talent that Yang Jun valued very much, and he was promoted by Yang Jun. When Yang Jun was defeated, he submitted his resignation, but the court did not allow him.
He came to Shangluo with several subordinates dressed in casual clothes, and collected and buried the body of Yang Jun, who no one dared to collect. This move won praise from monks in Shangluo and even the world. After that, not only was he not dismissed and imprisoned, but his official position was promoted to the third rank.
General Long Xiang, guarding Shouchun, an important town in Huainan.
In the past few days, a letter from Qi King Li Juan to attack Zhao King Li Lun to avenge the late emperor Li Zhong came to him. He immediately signed the alliance letter and led his troops northward.
.In his eyes, what Zhao Wang, Yuan Shi and others did were treasonous and unethical, and everyone would punish them every day.
It is already May, the Dragon Boat Festival has just passed, and the weather has begun to get hotter. The light rains in the past few days have made the originally calm Yingshui start to stir up. Although for monks with advanced cultivation, leaping over
The Yingshui, which is more than ten feet wide, is not a difficult task, but the march of the army is not limited to those monks with advanced cultivation. Dong Ai's forward Sima had already had people cut wood and build a pontoon bridge at the first opportunity, waiting for Dong Ai to ride on
When the tall horse arrived at the bank of Yingshui, the two floating bridges were almost completed.
"Okay!" Looking at the rapid progress, Dong Ai couldn't help but feel happy. He pointed his riding whip forward and said loudly: "After Yingshui, you will reach Yangcheng County. One of the eight passes in Shangluo is Yanban Pass.
In Yangcheng County, as long as we occupy the Yanban Pass, we will open the door to Shangluo. My fellow soldiers, please encourage the soldiers in all departments. Before night falls, we will take the Yanban Pass and set a target.
The first thing a thief does."
"yes!"
Chen Min frowned as he watched everyone ride away. That day, he and some Huainan monks fought out before the city gate closed, and then ran all the way to Xuchang to find Zhendong General Qi Wang Li Juan. Li Juan listened to him
After talking about what happened in Shangluo, I cried bitterly on the spot, and then spread the word to the world, calling on the generals who guarded the north of Yecheng, cd Wang Liying, the generals who guarded the west, Hejian Wang Li Yong, and the generals of Zhennan who guarded Xiangyang, Xinye Wang Li Xin.
Together they sent troops to attack the rebels Li Lun, Yuan Shi, Zhang Lin and others. After learning that General Dong Ai of Long Xiang had sent troops to the north, Chen Min immediately approached the King of Qi and asked to follow Dong Ai as a vanguard to march to Shangluo.
"General," Chen Min clasped his fists and saluted, "After Yingshui, we are less than two hundred miles away from Yanban Pass. As the gateway to the south from Shangluo, it is impossible for Yanban Pass not to be heavily guarded. From the subordinates' point of view, we
You need to be careful. Let the scouts go to explore the road first, and then the army will cross the river."
"Dudu Chen (Qi Wang Li Juan worshiped Chen Min as his subordinate governor) was overly concerned." Dong Ai laughed and said: "King Zhao rebelled against human relations, and all the righteous people in the world were indignant. We held high the flag of righteousness, and the four sides responded. King Zhao and others were disappointed.
With few helpers, it was already a fluke that we were able to defend Yanban Pass, so how could we go out to attack the enemy with a few? The scouts and cavalry were out in all directions, not to mention wasting time. If King Zhao’s reconnaissance cavalry saw this, they would definitely step up their defenses.
.The soldiers are very fast. I waited for Yingshui, and the light cavalry went first, and captured Yanban Pass by surprise. This is a good plan. The pontoon bridge is about to be completed, so Governor Chen should hurry back to your own camp and lead your troops.
Get ready to cross the river."
After listening to Dong Ai's words, Chen Min quietly retreated and rode to his camp. He brought a total of 500 people with him this time, some from Huainan, some from Yuzhou, and some from Xuzhou. Everyone's morale was high.
He was very high-spirited and shouted every day that he would rush into Shangluo and capture the traitor King Zhao Li Lun alive.
"Captain," seeing him coming back, a strong man with a height of seven feet and a beard came up to greet him and said, "How is the front? When will General Long Xiang arrange for us to cross the river?"
This man is called Jiao Da, a native of Qingzhou Plain. He has been hanging around in Shangluo for many years, but has never made a name for himself. On that day when King Huainan attacked the palace, he immediately joined King Huainan's team and fought with everyone. Unexpectedly
The king of Huainan failed and was defeated by Yuan Shi. Although he was rough and strong, his mind was very delicate. When he saw Chen Min leaving alone, he quickly called a few people who were usually close to him to follow Chen Min. These people left together.
After fighting their way out of the city gate, they came to the King of Qi Li Juan. Li Juan worshiped Chen Min as the governor of his tent, and Jiao Da and others followed Chen Min and became a general under Chen Min's tent.
From a monk hanging around in Shangluo doing nothing to becoming a registered sergeant under King Qi's account, Jiao Da is very happy these days. In his opinion, King Qi not only has strong soldiers and horses, but also has a great reputation for raising troops this time. Since Qi Qi
After the king raised the banner, thousands of monks came to join King Qi's tent every day, including those from Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Yanzhou, etc., and everyone agreed that they wanted to capture Shangluo.
To capture the King of Zhao alive, Yuan Shi, the man who dared to kill the king, was to be chopped into pieces with thousands of swords and the nine tribes were wiped out.
With such a huge momentum, in Jiao Da's opinion, even if they were pushed by the sea of people, Shangluo could be bulldozed.
"Perhaps if I'm lucky this time, I can make a great contribution and maybe win a title." These days, when Jiao Da sees the growing team every day, he will have this thought in his mind, "If this is true, then when the time comes,
Return home in rich clothes, return to the plains, find a good wife, and live a happy life."
"Jiao Da," Chen Min looked at Jiao Da's expectant eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, "let everyone get ready, the pontoon bridge will be set up soon, and we will cross the river as soon as the order comes."
"Okay!" Jiao Da responded excitedly, and when he was about to turn around and leave, Chen Min stopped him again.
"Let brothers put on their armor." When he came out this time, the King of Qi specially allocated fifty sets of armor and twenty horses to them. His expectations for him were not low.
"Captain, there's no need to be so careful." Jiao Da said with a look of embarrassment on his face, "None of the friendly troops around us are wearing armor. We are the only ones wearing armor. We will make everyone laugh."
"When I say robe, I mean robe. Jiao Da, this is a military camp. You don't know the military orders, do you?" Chen Min said with a cold expression on his face.
About an hour later, Chen Min and his men had just crossed the floating bridge when they heard the sound of horse hooves faintly coming from the north.
"Not good!" Chen Min was shocked. He turned over and shouted loudly: "The enemy is attacking! All the soldiers formed a formation to meet the enemy!" However, only half of the people crossed the bridge, and they continued to cross the bridge.
The flags were loose and unorganized, and the camps were in confusion and they didn't know where they belonged. Suddenly, the panicked people were running around in a chaotic mess.
Chen Min looked at all this and was extremely anxious. When he looked up again, he saw enemy cavalry in the distance rolling in like turbulent waves. These knights in armor had already held their bows and arrows in their hands. It was estimated that they could take a few breaths.
, he has already entered the opponent's shooting range.
At this moment, he heard someone not far to his right shouting: "If you retreat, you will die. If you are a good man, follow me, Fan Yang and Di Jiajing, to come forward to meet the enemy."
His heart felt hot as he watched Di Jiajing stand out from the crowd and charge towards the opponent's team one by one. Chen Min also clamped the horse's belly fiercely, raised his sword high and echoed loudly: "Huainan Chen Min is willing to follow Di
Send your subordinates to kill the enemy."
With the two of them taking the lead, for a while, monks mounted their horses and followed them towards the knights who were also galloping towards them.
"Fire the arrow!"
After a round of arrows, both sides threw away their long bows. Everyone roared like wild beasts, roared and charged at each other with swords and spears. For a while, there were screams and screams, and limbs were broken.
Flying all over the sky.
"Humph, I am so brave as a Zhendong Army, but I don't want to be just a bunch of chickens and dogs." Not far away, a middle-aged general with a majestic look, wearing bright armor and riding a tall horse, was seen by his cavalry.
The rebels who were charging back and forth couldn't help but sneer and said. Then he waved his horsewhip: "Soldiers, follow me across the river and capture Yangdi. Tonight we will have a drink in Yangdi City to celebrate our victory."
Historical records: In May of the fourth year of Yonghe, King Zhao's general Zhang Hong attacked with thousands of cavalry and defeated Longxiang General Dong Ai on the bank of Yingshui River. He then crossed Yingshui without stopping and unexpectedly attacked Qi King Li
Yangzhai was the location of the embarrassing baggage. After the rebel army lost Yangzhai, they had to retreat hundreds of miles and were temporarily devastated.
The torrent of iron armor from General Zhang Hong went away as quickly as it came. Chen Min watched the last iron cavalry disappear on the other side of Yingshui River, and took another look at the ruined battlefield, and couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
Failed too quickly!
The opponent's cavalry seemed to be in an uninhabited land, and in an instant, the team here was rushed to pieces. Their little manpower resistance seemed so insignificant under the torrent. It was just a few impacts.
, the ground was full of corpses of rebel soldiers or the sounds of injured people screaming.
Fortunately, the other party only dispersed them and continued to cross the river to pursue the follow-up troops who retreated in fear, so they did not cause greater casualties.
Just when he was hesitating, he saw Fan Yang Di Jiajing, whom he had just met in the East Mansion of King Qi Town, return to the middle of the battlefield and put up a large flag that looked still intact. Those who fled were scattered in every corner of the battlefield.
When the sergeants saw the big flag, they slowly gathered around where he was standing.
