Chapter 133 Corpse, beautiful woman, go to Jinzhou
Update time:2012-11-30
In the dark night, a group of golden soldiers followed the hoof prints in the grass and found corpses one after another. After repeated confirmations, Shideba Yilergen ran to the official road to meet the impatient Jia La E Zhen Ashan and his concubine.
Darhan urgently reported: "Sir, Ezhen, Zu Dashou and the others are the ones who died!"
"What?!"
When he heard that the person who died was indeed Zu Dashou, Darhan was so shocked that he dropped his horsewhip to the ground. He stared at Ilegen with his mouth open, his lips closing and then parting, not knowing what to say.
The death of Zu Dashou shocked Ashan. He glanced at Darhan and said in disbelief: "Zu Dashou is the forward commander of the Ming Dynasty. Who can kill him except us?! Who did this?"
"[
"You ask me, who should I ask?"
Darhan muttered angrily, "Once Zu Dashou dies, this Jinzhou City will no longer be able to be deceived. Let's go and report back to King Khan!"
"Okay, let King Khan know about this as soon as possible!"
As the matter was important, Ah Shan did not dare to delay, so he turned around and headed for the camp.
However, Ilegen asked one more question: "What should I do with Zu Dashou's body?"
"What can we do with a dead man? Don't worry about it. Let's go." Ah Shancai ignored Zu Dashou's body and ran away with his whip raised.
Darhan was stunned for a moment, thinking that since a person is dead, he has no value. It doesn't matter whether he takes the body back with him or not. He might as well feed those wild dogs. He waved his hand towards Ilegan and motioned for him to follow.
He rode back.
…………
It was late at night, and everyone in the city had gone to bed long ago. In the Buddhist hall behind the ancestral house, there was a beautiful middle-aged woman who was reciting the Lotus Sutra devoutly in front of the Buddha's incense.
On the desk under the Buddha statue, the incense was half burned, and the curls of cigarette smoke slowly spread in the Buddhist hall. When you smell it, you can smell a faint fragrance.
Outside the house, the watchman had already knocked on the wooden clapper for the third watch, but this beautiful woman never stopped thinking. She kept reciting Buddhist scriptures in a low voice from the beginning to the end, not bothered by the trouble, and devoted herself to praying for her husband and three sons.
Buddha begged for blessing.
This middle-aged beautiful woman is the wife of Zu Dashou. Her maiden family belongs to the Li family, a scholarly family in western Liaoning. She married Zu Dashou, who was a guerrilla at the age of fourteen, at the discretion of her father. Twenty-five years have passed. Twenty-five years have passed.
In the past five years, Mrs. Li has followed the rules of women, honored her ancestors and given birth to three sons for her longevity. The eldest son, Zerun, is twenty-five years old, the second son, Zechuan, is eighteen years old, and the youngest son, Zehong, is sixteen years old.
The third son does not look like Da Shou, but looks exactly like Mr. Li. Therefore, Da Shou often laments that his wife is too beautiful, but the result is a son who is not like his father. Fortunately, the three sons' personalities are like that of Da Shou. They are all good at swords and spears, so that the ancestral family will not be broken.
After crossing the gate.
Although she has given birth to three sons, Ms. Li's figure is still the same as when she was young. In addition, she has always taken good care of herself. Although she is nearly forty, she looks like she is in her early thirties, and her charm is still there. She also loves her beauty even in her old age.
Every time I come home from Jinzhou, besides kowtow to my old mother, I like to stay in the house with Mrs. Li, lingering endlessly, thinking that if I do more, my wife can give birth to another daughter and a half for the ancestral family, which may be a happy birthday.
He was old and had been fighting for many years, which affected his health. Although he had worked hard and sown many times, Li was able to regenerate his health.
Fortunately, she didn't have any more childbirth. No matter how well-maintained she is, she is still a woman in her late forties. If she gives birth to a child at an older age, I am afraid that her appearance will not be preserved no matter how well she takes care of her, and her figure will be out of shape.
Ever since Dashou in June went to Daling River to build the city under the order of the governor Sun Chengzong, Li had been worried. Although she was a woman, Li had a better understanding of the situation than Dashou. When Dashou left, Li had
He once advised him, "Today the Donglu are powerful. It is no longer ten years ago. The offensive and defensive momentum has changed. Now he has the initiative to take the initiative. We, the Ming Dynasty, are passive in defense. Although the governor wants to expand the territory, the Donglu may not be able to accomplish it."
Supervisor, you don’t know how to allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed, thinking that your wife will see it. The day when Daling River built the city was the day when Donglu set out. The Daling River is twenty or thirty miles away from Jinzhou, and Donglu was like a group of troops besieging the city.
, if we send for reinforcements, your husband will be in danger. It is better to turn to the Xiaoling River and plan for it slowly. Even if there is danger, Jinzhou and Xiaoling River are only ten miles away, and you will definitely fall into a desperate situation. You can advance and retreat at the same time.
.”
Although Dashou knew that what his wife said was right, the construction of Dalinghe City was the intention of Governor Sun, and it was not easy to change. Therefore, he advised Li to bring more than 10,000 civilians with him this time, and it was a hot day to build the city, and the Eastern captives could not withstand the heat.
They will come to stop them. Just urge the people to build the city quickly. When the weather gets colder, it will be too late for the Donglu to come again.
After hearing this, Li did not know whether to change the location of the city, so he had to repeatedly tell Dashou to be careful, and asked Dashou to only take his eldest son with him, leaving Zechuan and Zehong in Ningyuan to accompany him. Unexpectedly, Zechuan and Zehong refused to comply and made a fuss.
He wanted to go to Daling River with his father. Dashou also wanted his second son to accompany him in the army in order to polish off his son.
Li Shinai had no choice but to advise his father and son. He could only tell Dashou to be more careful and send more letters home to say he was safe.[
If the situation was as expected by Li Shi, it had been more than half a month since Dashou had built the city. The Donglu soldiers came with all their troops regardless of the heat, and trapped Dashou and more than 30,000 soldiers and civilians in the city in one fell swoop.
After the news came, Ms. Li was so anxious that she, who had never burned incense and kowtowed, was so anxious that she went to the Dabei Pavilion on Juehua Island to offer incense and make wishes. She even set up a Buddhist hall in the back hall, where she had to chant sutras for her husband and son every morning and evening.
pray.
Normally, Mrs. Li would go to have a rest before the first watch. Today, for some unknown reason, her left eye kept twitching violently. The old man said that if a man is on the left and a woman is on the right, she will be happy, but if it is the other way around, it will be a disaster.
.
Although Ms. Li had been familiar with classics and history since she was a child, was knowledgeable about books and principles, and did not believe in the power of gods and ghosts, after all, the people trapped in the city were her husband and her own flesh and blood, so how could she relax her heart? The harder she beat, the more her heart beat.
She became even more nervous. She didn't even eat dinner, so she came to the Buddhist hall alone and started chanting sutras. She chanted for several hours. The maids waiting outside the house changed twice, but she didn't move.
.
Amidst the cigarette smoke, you can even see the faint traces of tears on her face, and the pear blossoms are covered with rain, which is so touching.
Bodhisattva, please bless my husband, Run'er, Chuan'er, and Hong'er, so that they can turn disaster into good luck and return as soon as possible. At that time, the faithful woman will definitely go to the Great Compassion Pavilion to plate a gold statue of the Bodhisattva's true body, and open a month-long charity festival in the city.
shed……
Silently making a wish, the maid's green voice came to my ears, "Madam, the second master is here."
"Second Master is here?!..."
Li's body trembled and her face turned pale: Da Le came here late at night, there must be news from her husband! But coming here late at night, could it be?...
Mrs. Li didn't dare to think about it anymore, so she managed to cheer up, wiped the tears on her face with her sleeves, and rushed to the living room with Lu Cui's support.
The second master in Lu Cui's mouth refers to Dashou's cousin Zu Dale, who served as a deputy general in Jinzhou. After receiving the definite news that the army had been destroyed in the afternoon, he immediately rushed to Ningyuan to tell his sister-in-law the news so that she could invite her.
Quickly come forward to summon people from all parties, go to Beijing immediately to take care of the court, and persuade the emperor to send reinforcements, otherwise, the big brother's place will definitely be doomed.
After the maid went to report, another servant brought tea and snacks. Da Le had been working hard all the way, but he didn't care about being rude and wolfed down the food.
As soon as she saw Da Le, Mrs. Li hurriedly took two steps forward and asked urgently: "Second uncle came here late at night. Could it be that there is news about my husband?"
"Uh..." Da Le had snacks stuffed in his mouth and couldn't swallow it for a moment, so he didn't know where to start.
Seeing him like this, Mrs. Li became more and more anxious. Her face turned pale and she said, "Second uncle, could it be that your eldest brother and nephew have already..."
Zu Dale hurriedly swallowed the snack, then waved his hands and said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, things are not that bad."
Li was startled: "Then why are you here?" She looked at Da Le in confusion.
"My little brother came here to tell my sister-in-law that Master Zhang Chun of the Military Preparation Road today led a large army to help, but..." At this point, Zu Dale sighed sadly, "The whole army was wiped out."
"The entire army was wiped out?" Li was startled and her heart skipped a beat: "What about your eldest brother and the others?"
Zu Dale shook his head and said: "The situation is unknown. Let's wait a few days and send someone to investigate."
Mrs. Li gritted her teeth and said nothing, but her eyes were already red.
Seeing this, Da Le hurriedly advised: "Sister-in-law, don't worry too much. Forgive me for saying this, but even if the eldest brother really can't hold on, it may not be what my sister-in-law thinks." [
"What does Second Uncle mean by this?" Mr. Li was a little confused.
Zu Dale glanced at Lu Cui, and Li understood, and hurriedly raised his hand to signal Lu Cui to go down. After Lu Cui went down, Da Le whispered: "If the eldest brother really can't hold on, I think the eldest brother may surrender."
gold."
“Gold drop?!”
Hearing this, Mrs. Li became excited and said angrily: "Second Uncle, don't let others listen to what you said. Your eldest brother is such a heroic figure, how could he surrender to the Donglu! If he really surrendered to the Donglu, I would kill him head on.
Forget it, don’t ask people to criticize you behind your back!”
Seeing that Li was angry, Zu Dalue hurriedly persuaded: "Sister-in-law, please calm down. Now there are hundreds of generals who have surrendered gold, and they are all treated politely. In my opinion, Mrs. Hong is also outstanding, and today the Jin Kingdom has strong soldiers and horses."
, I have nothing to do with him, maybe in the future he, Mrs. Hong, will really be able to rule the world. If the eldest brother really can't hold on, surrendering him may not be a clear path."
After hearing Zu Dalue's words, Mrs. Li looked at Dalue in surprise, then her face darkened, and she said angrily: "Second uncle, I heard that loyal ministers do not care for their two masters, and loyal women do not marry two husbands. In the world of life, integrity is the most important thing.
What’s important is that if I remarry your eldest brother, how will you view my sister-in-law?"
Zu Dalue sighed and said: "As a minister, who is willing to turn his back on the Lord and ask for honor easily? Many people are forced to do so. In the way of the sage, the king treats his ministers with courtesy, and the ministers treat the king with loyalty; the king treats his ministers like grass and mustard.
I regard you as a traitor. Yuan Dutang was loyal and loyal, but he was beheaded alive. Every time I think of this, we, the officers and men of the Liao Army, are heartbroken and filled with resentment. It has reached the point where we can no longer defend ourselves. My eldest brother is unwilling to take this road.
There is no way that the people below him would allow him to take this step. My sister-in-law should be more open-minded and don't be too angry. After all, I don't know the news at the moment. I came to my sister-in-law late at night in order to ask my sister-in-law to come forward and take care of the affairs of the court. I will try again as soon as possible.
Just send reinforcements."
Li Shi was uncharacteristically angry and rebuked Da Le: "I heard that the king is the sky and the ministers are the earth. The faults of the king are like the eclipse of the sun and the moon. How can the ministers betray and surrender to the enemy just because of the momentary fault of the king! Please ask my second uncle.
Send someone quickly to inquire about the situation, if your eldest brother really takes this step, I will die."
Zu Dale complained. Although he knew that this sister-in-law was very sexual, he didn't expect her to be so loyal. He only guessed what step his elder brother might take, so he gave her some warning in advance so that she would be prepared in case it happened.
I couldn't think of it. I didn't expect that she couldn't pour the oil in, but instead scolded myself like this. Standing there, blue and red, very embarrassed.
Seeing Da Le like this, Mrs. Li's heart softened and she sighed slightly and said: "Second uncle, please rest in the house for one night. I will go to Jinzhou with you early tomorrow morning. No matter what, you must know that your eldest brother and nephew
Only when I can calm down about our children's situation, no matter what happens, I can't stay here in Ningyuan City for a moment. I can just watch your elder brother on the city wall."
"This" Da Le was startled, thinking that something was wrong. Her sister-in-law is from a woman's family, no matter how Zhuge Kongming is, she is still a woman. If she really wants to go to Jinzhou, if she knows that her eldest brother has sent money or bad news, she will
How can I explain to my aunt if I don't get hit to death?
"There's nothing wrong with this. I've made up my mind. I'll go to Jinzhou tomorrow. I'll take care of the arrangements. I also have to pay a visit to Mr. Futai and ask him to write a letter asking the imperial court to send reinforcements. It's getting late on the second day.
Uncle, it’s been a hard journey, so let’s go and rest.”
Once Li made up his mind, even Dashou couldn't persuade him, let alone Da Le. Unfortunately, Zu Dale had no choice but to agree. Li told him a few more words about his aunt, then called Lu Cui to wash up and go to bed.
