In early December of the 19th year of Jiajing, the Ming army took advantage of the change of defense of the Hulu Pass defenders and raided the pass with Longgang Qianhu Station and defeated them in a battle. Diexi Qianhu Station, Chishui Qianhu Station and Pingfan Qianhu Station were from here
Enter and cut off the road behind Baima Mountain.
The Xia Army camp in Baima Mountain was shaken, and they mobilized their troops in an attempt to recover. However, they were attacked by the main force of the Ming army, and they were immediately defeated. At the same time, the Dao Sect gathered hundreds of monks to break the formation, including Xiaoshan Guard, Loushan Guard, Baima Guard, etc.
The main force gradually succeeded, and the Xia army, which had shown a disadvantage in the past two years, could no longer hold on and was finally defeated across the board.
In this battle, the Ming army beheaded 4,700 people and captured more than 10,000 Xia troops. They not only fully recovered the old territory of Baima Mountain, but also occupied Longbai, Chama, Qionghe and other places in the northwest of Baima Mountain, and destroyed hundreds of miles of red plain grassland.
Taking over more than half of it, they achieved the most glorious victory of Ming Dynasty over Xixia in fifty years.
This time the Ye Xueguan meeting was held under such a background. Zhao Ran was very helpless and could only express hehehe for his "ignorance". Thinking of this, he couldn't help but complain to Mr. Kong County for such a big thing.
, and he didn’t even say that he would inform himself.
But then I thought about it, I was just venting my anger. Maybe the county government received the notice only after the year? It is normal that I was not informed in time. I am not a member of the government, either Kong County Zun or Jin County.
Regardless of whether you are a lieutenant or not, you don't know what you know or don't know, and you have no obligation to tell everything. Perhaps in the eyes of the county government, you must know.
The news of the great victory at Baima Mountain made Zhao Ran feel mixed with emotions, as if he felt like he was in another world. From the time he was escorted to Qingping Mountain and encountered the Xia army, the war at Baima Mountain has lasted for nearly eight years. Surrounding Baima Mountain
I don’t know how many people died in the battle. In Wujiyuan alone, one deacon, five Taoist priests and more than a dozen lay fire workers died.
After filling a glass of wine and pouring it carefully on the ground, Zhao Ran paid homage to the deceased fellow Taoists. Zhao Ran sighed with emotion for a long time and asked again: "Then this big meeting must be related to this?"
Zhao Zhixing nodded: "Our major affairs in Sichuan Province have been suspended for seven years. This reopening is mainly for these things, to reward meritorious deeds and punish guilty ones. You will know the day after tomorrow."
Zhao Ran was moved when he heard that the reward was meritorious, but he was immediately discouraged. He was a secret agent sent by Sanqing Pavilion. Even if he was rewarded, he would not do it in public, not to mention that his only upline was still in retreat.
, so until now, no one knows about his achievements - in fact, even he himself can't figure it out.
It's been one year and three months. Dongfang Li, you can tell me whether you are dead or alive. It is so unclear and there is no further explanation. You are a dead eunuch, I really hate you!
Song Zhiyuan came back late at night and was carried to the house with the help of several small fire dwellers. He was so drunk that he didn't know what was going on. When Zhao Ran saw this, he stopped disturbing him.
The next morning, Zhao Ran walked outside Song Zhiyuan's house and heard loud snoring inside. He found that the jailer was still hungover. He shook his head and left the training office through the back door.
Ye Xueguan has always been the southern support point of the Ming Dynasty's battlefield against the Xia Kingdom. After hundreds of years of construction, the regulations are quite grand. There is an outer city wall outside the inner city wall. There are tens of thousands of households. It has long been separated from the scope of the Guancheng.
Compared with Pingwu County, the seat of Long'an Prefecture, it is not inferior.
In the inner city, there are mostly government offices, promotion offices, Qianhu Offices, warehouses, weapons supervisors, guard eunuchs' offices, official posts, etc. In addition, Zhao Ran also found a small temple, called Guancheng Temple, for worship.
It's the City God.
As a fellow traveler, out of curiosity, Zhao Ran went in to pay homage and found that the temple was very small. There was only one small hall and six rooms. It was really not comparable to his own Junshan Temple, and it was not interesting to visit.
.
After despising the Guancheng Temple and gaining a sense of superiority, Zhao Ran walked through the city cave and headed for the outer city.
As soon as we entered the outer city, the atmosphere immediately became lively, with shops lined up and people flowing in. Although it was a month away from the day of the great victory, the festive atmosphere was still undiminished. In addition, the Lantern Festival had just passed, so the streets
Every door and house was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and all kinds of bright red wedding couplets and Spring Festival couplets were posted everywhere. There were also firecracker debris that was too late to be cleaned, and they were piled at the end of the alleys everywhere.
Zhao Ran couldn't remember how many years he hadn't gone shopping. Seeing such a prosperous scene, he slowed down unconsciously. He looked at the shops one by one and became childlike again. He took out some scattered copper coins and bought some.
Get some snacks like candy, shortbread, chestnuts, etc., and watch them while you eat.
Not to mention, he actually found something interesting. In a small shop selling calligraphy and painting, he actually saw a piece of calligraphy hanging high in the center of the wall, with the inscription Mountain Guest.
After reading the content, I had no impression that I had written this Tang poem. When I looked at it carefully, I couldn't help but be happy - a high imitation, an absolute high imitation! Not to mention, the words are quite similar to each other. I asked the store clerk,
The fellow pretended to be mysterious and stretched out four fingers to shake at Zhao Ran: "This is the authentic work of a mountain guest. If the Taoist priest likes it, I can give it to you."
"What does four mean? How much silver is it?" Zhao Ran was slightly curious.
Na Chaofeng whispered: "Four taels, never more!"
"How many?"
"Four taels!"
"What's that? Did I hear it correctly? You only sell four taels of the original mountain guest's work? Do you know how much it costs?" Zhao Ran was a little angry.
Nachao Feng smiled and said, "You can't even buy it at four hundred taels at the outside price! But our store only charges four hundred taels."
"Why is this?"
"My master has a grudge against the mountain guest. He obtained many authentic works from him back then, so he deliberately suppressed him just to make him angry! Taoist priest, you are taking advantage!"
What a weird reason. Zhao Ranxin said that if you believe it, you will encounter a ghost.
Continuing to wander around, there was a lot of fun in the market life. Zhao Ran unknowingly walked around until noon. He looked up and saw a two-story restaurant. He held a banner of "Wang Mei" and didn't know what the food was like or how the wine tasted, so he wandered in.
Went in ready to try it.
There were more than a dozen tables on the first floor of the restaurant, and many guests were already sitting there. They were chatting away, most of them commenting on the current war situation. Zhao Ran found an empty table in the back and ordered two
A side dish, eating and listening at the same time.
After listening for a while, I found that they were all just conjectures that made no sense, so I got impatient. After eating in a few mouthfuls, I was ready to leave. To be honest, the food and wine here didn't taste very good, so I just had to fill in the food.
Just the belly.
At this moment, two Taoist priests came in from the gate chatting and laughing, and were led directly to the second floor by the waiter.
Zhao Ran took a look and realized that they were really enemies. Aren't they Dong Zhikun and Zhang Ze?
After settling the bill with the restaurant, Zhao Ran also went up to the second floor. There were seven or eight private rooms on the second floor, and Zhao Ran could tell which one the two people went to at a glance.
Zhang Zezheng and Dong Zhikun joked: "This time it depends on how Zhao Zhiran escapes this disaster and delays the military plane. Hehe, he will have to shed his skin even if he doesn't die!"
Dong Zhikun shook his head: "That's not entirely true. After all, he is still a monk in the pavilion. If we can drive him away from Guyang, we will be satisfied..."
Just as they were talking, a gust of wind blew the door open, and the two of them saw Zhao Ran passing by the door. As if they had seen a ghost, they suddenly opened their mouths and were speechless.
Zhao Ran seemed to be full of surprise and said to Zhang Ze: "Brother Zhang, you are here too! I can get here this time thanks to my brother's help..." Then he looked at Dong Zhikun in shock, said "Ah" and walked away.
.
His acting skills were extremely poor, and the two of them immediately saw through it. Zhang Ze said to Dong Zhikun: "Prison Court, he is deliberately sowing discord." Dong Zhikun said with a dark face: "Of course I know he is sowing discord, but I want to know,
