One hundred and thirty-eight chapters Hongyan returns to the south, forming an alliance for thousands of miles [1]
Qin Lang and Bi Gui, who were having a drink, were both shocked when they heard this.
Qin Lang hurriedly placed the cup in his hand on the table and stood up: "Quick, take me to General Xiahou's residence."
"Yes!" Yu Lin said and rushed out, followed closely by Qin Lang, Bi Gui and others.
Xia Houxuan, who was on the hospital bed, was no longer as cheerful as before. At this moment, his face was pale and his breath was as thin as a thread.
He had just vomited a lot of black blood and was extremely weak. He was falling asleep on the couch.
He had a long dream.
In the dream, he was riding a white sparrow, with his body hanging from his waist, leading five hundred Yulin troops and two hundred Xuanjia guards, walking majestically on Qingshi Street in Luoyang.
There were cheering people beside the road, and at the end of the long road, mother Cao Jue and his wife Huigu were looking at themselves in high spirits with joyful faces.
After a long time, Xia Houxuan finally opened his eyes, and he realized that he was lying on the hospital bed, and there were many people sitting around him.
He sighed slightly.
It turns out that he did not return to Luoyang, but was still in the north.
"General Qin..."
"General Xiahou, please lie down and take a good rest." Qin Lang saw that Xiahou Xuan was about to stand up and salute again, so he hurriedly supported him.
"Military doctor, has the toxicity in General Xiahou been reduced now?"
"General Qi." The old military doctor shook his head, sighed and said: "This is curare poison specially made by the Xianbei people. Although I have tried my best to treat General Xiahou, I still can't completely eliminate the remaining poison. It seems that I have to save General Xiahou.
, we have to negotiate with the Xianbei people..."
"General Qin..." Xia Houxuan was still very weak because of the lingering poison. He said to Qin Lang with great difficulty: "Can I ask you something..."
"General Xiahou, please tell me. As long as I, Qin Lang, can do my best, I will try my best to fulfill your request!"
Qin Lang originally had a generous and generous character, and this time he fought side by side with Xia Houxuan on the battlefield, and he had a good impression of him, so when Xia Houxuan opened his mouth, he did not want to refuse.
"Thank you... thank you general... cough cough cough..." Xia Houxuan said while coughing: "I beg the general to send a special person and fast horse to Luoyang... Jiuzifang, in my residence, find
My mother, I wanted to report to her that she was safe..., and then I asked Mrs. Zhuojing Li to come to Jinyang City... and said, I haven't seen you for several months, and I miss you so much. I look at the winter snow in the desert in the north, and I miss her so much.
She is pretty, so I want to join hands with her and have a look..."
"General Xiahou, don't worry!"
Qin Lang listened to Xia Houxuan's words just now, as if they were his last words. The other party was only in his twenties, more than 20 years younger than himself. It was really regrettable. He held Xia Houxuan tightly.
Cold hands said decisively:
"I have taken note of your words. I will definitely send the fastest messenger and the most reliable guard to the Changling Marquis Mansion in Luoyang to deliver the message for you, and will bring your ladyship safely to the north to meet you!"
After hearing Qin Lang's promise, Xia Houxuan smiled and nodded, and then passed out from exhaustion again.
"Come here, prepare your horses, I'm going to the Xianbei royal court!"
After Qin Lang left Xiahou Xuan's bedroom, he gave orders to the soldiers around him.
"General, the north of the desert is the enemy's lair. Don't go deep into it. I hope General will think twice!"
When the soldier heard this, he knelt on the ground and begged Qin Lang.
"I have made up my mind! Prepare your horses!"
Qin Lang was unmoved and walked towards the north gate.
―――
Above the desert, the dust has subsided.
Nine knights dressed in luxurious clothes rode out from the north gate of Jinyang City, the first county of Bingzhou, and galloped north.
That was Qin Lang and his eight soldiers.
Qin Lang and his entourage galloped on the official road in the desert for two hours, and it was already getting late.
Qin Lang was afraid that they would lose their way in the desert, so he ordered them to pick up the bridle and move slowly along the official road.
As night fell, the wind and sand continued. The speed of the group was hindered by the sand, which made Qin Lang anxious.
At this moment, a rush of horse hoofbeats came from the north of the avenue, and not long after, a group of people came in the opposite direction to Qin Lang and his party.
When the soldiers saw that the knight in the distance was dressed as a Xianbei man, they became alert:
"General, there is someone!"
Qin Lang waved his hand to signal his men not to act rashly. He carefully observed the cavalry in the distance and found that above their flag was a black wolf flapping in the wind. It was the flag of the Xianbei royal family.
"Brothers far away, are you from Wei in the south?"
Before Qin Lang could speak, there was a call from the other party. Qin Lang didn't understand the Xianbei dialect. Fortunately, there were two or three people under his command who were from Bingzhou and knew some simple Xianbei dialect.
"What did they say?" Qin Lang was confused and asked the soldiers beside him.
"General Qi, they are asking whether we are Wei people from the south. If so, please come forward and tell us. Their Khan has something important to tell us."
"I understand." Qin Lang nodded and rode forward: "Let's go up and have a look."
Soon, the two teams met.
"Excuse me, your Excellency, are you from the noble Lord Kebineng?" Qin Lang suddenly thought of something, so he hurriedly asked.
Seeing that Qin Lang didn't speak Xianbei, the man said in blunt Zhongyuan Yayan (Note 1): "Exactly, exactly, you are the subordinates of Lord Qin Lang, the Cavalry General of Wei?"
"Yes, we are the soldiers of General Qin Lang." Qin Lang understood that the number of his group was too small, and for the sake of safety, it was better not to reveal his true identity. Therefore, he lied that he was a soldier.
"That's great. Here is a letter from our Khan, asking me to give it to your General Qin Lang. I didn't expect that I happened to meet you. It's really great."
The leader of the Xianbei cavalry was very happy. He took out the letter from his arms, handed it to Qin Lang, and said happily:
"Okay, our mission is completed, see you later."
As the man spoke, he led his men back towards the north.
[Note 1: About Yayan. It is the earliest common language in China, which is equivalent to the current Mandarin in a general sense. Its phonology is an ancient phonology system. The ancient Chinese attached great importance to the unification of local dialects, so "Yayan" appeared.
.
Luoyang Yayan, known as Heluo language in ancient times, Heluo dialect, now known as Luoyang dialect, is the earliest common language in China, and its phonology is the ancient Chinese traditional phonology. Yayan is also Xiayan. "Ya", "Xia"
There are many evidences of interoperability in ancient times: "Zuo Zhuan" is "Gongzi Ya", "Han Feizi" is "Gongzi Xia"; the Guodian Chu bamboo slips unearthed in recent years, "Confucius' Poetry Theory" is "Daya", "Xiaoya" is "Daxia",
"Little Xia"; "Mozi" quoted "Daya" as "Daxia". Especially in "Xunzi: Honor and Disgrace", "The people of Yue are in peace, the people of Chu are in peace, and the gentlemen are in peace". "The Effects of Confucianism" is called "Ju Chu"
As for Chu, it lives in Yue and Yue, and it lives in Xia and Xia."
"Ya" and "Xia", which are opposite to "Chu" and "Yue", generally refer to the Central Plains area centered on Luoyang in China's past dynasties. After the Zhou Dynasty, with the migration of the capitals of each dynasty, the basic dialect of Yayan
It was also improved accordingly. All the orthodox Han dynasties spared no effort to promote Yayan. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, Yayan reached its peak development, reaching one word for one sound. A large number of Tang poems and Song lyrics emerged, and neighboring countries rushed to learn from Luoyang.

The standard language of the Zhou Dynasty is the predecessor of the standard language of the Zhou Dynasty. The standard Chinese language of the period is generally considered to be the language of the Book of Songs, that is, Luoyang Yayan. Yayan is mainly popular in the Central Plains area centered on Luoyang in the Yellow River Basin. The writing of the Zhou Dynasty
What they learned was the Yin and Shang characters of the Shang Dynasty. And the Yin people learned from the Xia people. The elegant language in ancient times was the Xia language. The Xia Dynasty had its capital in Luoyang, Henan and its surrounding areas, and the Shang Dynasty also had its capital in the Central Plains with Luoyang as the center.
region. Therefore, the basis of the standard pronunciation of elegant Chinese in the past dynasties should be in the Luoyang area. It is speculated that the ancient Mandarin was based on the ancient Heluo dialect, which is now Luoyang dialect. The word Huaxia has a very profound meaning: Hua means the beauty of clothing.

Three thousand disciples came from all over the world. It is said that Confucius used Luoyang Yayan to teach. "The Analects of Confucius·Shu Er Seventh" said: "The elegant words of Confucius, "Poems", "Books", and the rituals are all elegant.

"Tongyu". After the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Cao Wei, Western Jin, Northern Wei and other dynasties successively established their capitals in Luoyang, inherited the phonology of the Han Dynasty, and adopted Luoyang Yayan as the national language. After the Eastern Jin Dynasty moved the capital to Jiankang, Luo language and Wu language combined to form Jinling Yayin, also known as Wu
Pronunciation, Nanjing dialect, was followed by the Southern Dynasties.]

The night is getting darker.
After Qin Lang returned to the camp, he immediately opened the letter and saw that the letter said:
"Ke Bineng, the righteous king of Xianbei, presented this letter to Qin Lang, the heroic general of the Wei Dynasty:
After the battle a month ago, I learned that your country is rich in talents and has strong soldiers and horses. It is not a frivolous offense. I am convinced.
I once accidentally injured your general with a poisonous wolf-toothed arrow. After inquiring, I found out that the person injured was the prince of the Wei royal family, the Marquis of Changling. Therefore, I feel very guilty and want to send the antidote to the general. I hope you can
The general will not care about the past grudges. However, I, Xianbei, also want something, and nothing else. I only need a letter of credence from your country's principal, and I, Xianbei, will be reconciled from now on, and we will not attack each other for a hundred years. I will be grateful to you. This wolf
The poison of tooth and curare will not kill people within two months. After two months, as soon as the letter of credence arrived at my court in Xianbei, the young king immediately offered the antidote. In the tenth month of winter, Xianbei Yi Wang Kebineng wrote it himself. "
Qin Lang looked at the letter, frowned and pondered for a long time, then took out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, unfolded the silk, and wrote a memorial on his desk suggesting that the emperor conclude an alliance.
"Come here!" Qin Lang blew the ink marks on the watch dry, then put it into a box and sealed it with fire paint.
"General!" The soldiers outside the house heard the general's summons and immediately opened the door and came in.
"You must go to Luoyang immediately and deliver this memorial to His Majesty. You must be quick. Do you understand?"
"I understand your humble position!" The soldier took the brocade box from Qin Lang's hand and went out to perform the mission.
