Chapter 30 Yellow Bird

When a ray of dawn appeared on the horizon, the forest was still dark. Under the influence of the already formed biological clock, Li Shaobing and others woke up one after another.

At the same time, a dozen unkempt guys carrying axes, saws, ropes and other things walked out of the auxiliary barracks to the east outside Yan'an City, rubbing their sleepy eyes.

They didn't know what kind of medicine Captain Guo Qinglin took wrongly. Before going to bed last night, he had to break up the original team and form a new team, as if he had a demonic obstacle, and kicked himself out so early. But there was also an order.

What made them happy was that everyone got two big meat buns! Everyone was talking and guessing in low voices, munching on the hot buns, and walked along the city wall to the official road outside the north gate.

In order to facilitate the reception of wood and the manufacture of rafts, the auxiliary military camp was stationed outside the east gate of the city - the upper reaches of the Jin & Ming River. After the Yanshui and Xichuan merged, it made a nearly ninety-degree bend here and turned to the east.

And merged into the Yellow River in Yanchang County. There were more than twenty small boats moored on the shore half a mile upstream. This was the place where the wood was stopped. Soon, these small boats would be parked in Yanshui, and the auxiliary soldiers

A long pole with an iron hook will be used to push the logging team into the water and drag the floating timber to the adjacent workshop. Here the tree trunks are planed into planks and then made into rafts.

When this small group of logging auxiliary soldiers arrived outside the north gate of Yan'an Mansion, they were all startled by the sight in front of them, and all their sleepiness disappeared.

A small team has been assembled here: more than fifty knights leading the saddled horses began to form at the front. In the middle were one hundred and fifty warriors with swords arrayed in three columns, and the other

Fifty people lined up in another line with bare hands. The experienced old guy in the death team proudly showed off to the newbies: "Tsk, tsk, don't you understand? Look, the one who is crossing the knife is the knife player, and the one who is empty-handed is

Spearmen. Don't you see, everyone is not wearing armor. There must be several carriages following the city gate behind them, with horses and spears, armor, bucklers and other things all on them!"

"Why is this so?" the listener asked quietly.

"Why are you like this? Are you stupid? The commander is going to fight! Wearing a suit of iron that weighs dozens of kilograms and walking for dozens of miles, why do you still need to fight? You will be exhausted yourself!"

"A war? Who does the commander want to fight?"

"Who does the commander want to fight? Well, he's not a commander. How do you know? Does your child look like a commander? Well, if he were a commander, I would kill you first! Hahaha. Huh, look at this battle, anyway.

Someone has to lose their life today..."

"Step aside!"

The showy sermon was interrupted by a loud shout from Guan Jianlin. Then several horses passed by the auxiliary troops, gradually accelerated to a trot, and galloped along the official road to the north in the direction of Ansai, raising their horses.

In the dust, the guys in the auxiliary army covered their mouths and noses with their hands and coughed softly. No one spoke anymore.

Luo Shifan insisted on following him to watch the fun. In fact, this was what Luo Yonghao meant. Master Luo knew that he was a very smart person. But the sad thing was that he was with the wrong person and was in bad luck, and his son's future was also at risk.

Delayed - needless to say, the road to the imperial examination is basically hopeless: Shenmu County has been "forgotten" twice in the triennial plan, which just shows that some people and some things have not been forgotten by the adults at all, and they have always been there.

Keep this in mind! Now that father and son have boarded Guan Shengyun's boat, cleverness is far from enough. If he wants to survive in the den of thieves, the son must have some "bandit" nature. This kind of preparedness versus unpreparedness and four

In actual combat with five times the absolute superiority of troops, there is no suspense about the outcome. It is a perfect opportunity for my precious son to practice, so he specially greeted Guan Shengyun. Guan Shengyun knew that Ronaldinho and Guan Jianlin were very close, so if they continued to explain, Guan Jianlin would naturally have nothing to say.

Gu Baihua already had great respect and admiration for the two masters, so he specially appointed three more good soldiers. They did not need to participate in the battle and devoted themselves to protecting the safety of the young master.

Luo Shifan looked at the team, tilted his head and pondered for a while, then suddenly remembered something, and murmured a few words to Gu Baihua, then he pulled Guan Jianlin along, rode out with a few horses, and rode towards Ansai County first.

In the forest dozens of miles away.

Last night, the auxiliary soldiers drank every bit of the bone soup and refilled it with stream water. The embers in the stove kept the iron pot at a suitable temperature. In the dim light, everyone released their night urine, and then

They filled their stomachs with hot water and stuffed as much dry food as possible. When the auxiliary soldiers removed the iron pot and shoveled a few shovels of earth to extinguish the remaining fire, the soldiers came to the creek and filled their own water hyacinths.

Then he packed up his equipment, put on his half-armour, picked up his weapons, and set off happily. Walking through the forest is much more difficult than taking the official road. The official road can cover more than ten or twenty miles in an hour. In the same time, walking in the forest and mountains is much more difficult.

It can only travel four to five miles at most, and the physical exertion is even greater.

The infantry soldiers were very happy: although most of them were originally soldiers, but how could there be any elite soldiers in a small and broken county? They were drawn out to sneak into the enemy's rear simply to catch up! But it was different from now on:

Even though my hands were shaking so much in the past two days, and then I vomited all over the place... Now I have the look of a soldier who has seen blood and even killed people with my own hands! After I go back, I can at least survive for a long time.

You can also become the commander-in-chief. Not only will you be superior to others in the camp, but you may also be able to eat cavalry food...

Setting off early, just after Tatsushiki (7 to 9 a.m.), the auxiliary troops arrived at the designated location: about five or six miles south of the hill where the ambush was discovered, there was a trail winding toward the forest to the east.

Some auxiliary soldiers muttered that the captain of the country did not know what someone said, but he insisted on designating this location. His group just came yesterday! It is indeed very close to the official road and the river bank, but there are several mature trees.

Yesterday, all the trees were cut down and pushed into Yanshui. The remaining trees are not even thick enough to eat in a bowl. To find suitable aniseed, we can only walk a long way deep inside. But if you don't obey, you will starve.

Whip, I can only bite the bullet and curse in my heart as I go deeper.

No one noticed that there was a lonely boat tied more than half a mile south of the opposite bank.

If you look down from the air, you will find that there are also three or five small boats parked sparsely on the long stretch of Yanshui in the north. And four or five miles further south, in a place just out of sight, there is a small boat outside the north gate in the morning.

The cavalry and infantry teams had already moved up, and the armored soldiers sat quietly on both sides of the official road, waiting for orders.

At the same time, on the beach near the Yellow River in Yanchuan County, Zhao Ergou, who figured out how to distinguish the left and right feet and triggered a fight, took over Li Shaobing's job and was cursing and training the recruits, hitting them with the whip from time to time.

The unlucky guy was whipped in the face.

In Yan'an Mansion, Guan Shengyun and Luo Yonghao were chatting and waiting for news.

Guan Shengyun was well versed in reading and writing, but after all, he had not received systematic formal education. He only knew some things but did not know their meaning. Suddenly a question came to his mind and he asked: "Master, as the saying goes, 'Is it the king in the whole world?

Is it possible that the land on the shore of the earth is not the king's minister? It can be seen that the lord of the world was the biggest king in the Spring and Autumn Period. Guan also heard the title of Emperor Zhou. After the Qin Dynasty unified the six kingdoms, Ying Zheng called himself the emperor in order to distinguish himself from other countries.

Emperor, what’s the significance of these two words?”

In ancient times with strict hierarchical concepts, people rarely called emperors by their names when talking about them. They often referred to them by their reign or temple names. However, because they were cruel, stupid and short-lived, Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng and his second emperor Hu Hai were rare exceptions.

.(Another exception is Wang Mang who said all the nice things and pretended to be very sensible when he was not in power, but was a bastard after he was in power).

Luo Yonghao was startled when he heard the words. He did know these contents, but this topic was a bit too sensitive. If you accidentally step over the edge, it would be a disaster. This was the first time that he talked about it so unscrupulously! Then he laughed at himself: openly rebelling against this

If you are personally involved in committing serious crimes such as the clan, and you are still a core member, what will happen if you say a few words about the emperor?

So he said: "Commander, there is a lot of emphasis here. Do you know what we usually call the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?"

Guan Shengyun said: "Well, Guan has read "Historical Records". The three emperors are the emperor of heaven and earth, the emperor of Tai, and the five emperors are Huangdi, Zhuanxu (yin Zhuanxu), Emperor Ku (yinku), Tang Yao, and Yu Shun."

Luo Yonghao picked up the tea cup and took a sip and continued: "The Marshal is right. This is where the two words "Emperor" come from. Taking it apart, 'Emperor, Da Ye, Zhong Ye, Guang Ye', for

Supreme. "Emperor" refers to those whose virtues are in harmony with heaven and earth. Before the pre-Qin Dynasty, these two words could not be called kings in the human world. They specifically referred to heaven, gods and humans. The three emperors and five emperors were all extraordinary people. In the human world, the greatest person was called "king".

', such as King Wen and King Wu of the Zhou Dynasty. The queen was called the 'Son of Heaven', the proud son of heaven, and the king's power was granted by God. When the Zhou Dynasty declined and all the princes were called kings, the king's title gradually became worthless. Later, as a sign

For example, King Zhao of Qin claimed to be the 'Western Emperor', and King Qi Min claimed to be the 'Eastern Emperor'... The word 'emperor' fell to the mortal world and was no longer so supreme. After Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms

, there is also a discussion about the emperor's title. Prime Minister Wang Guan, Tingwei Li Si and others persuaded Ying Zheng to call him "Emperor Tai". Gai, the end of the great, medium and light god is also the end of the god - the end of the god, but the extreme of the human. However,

Ying Zheng felt that his contribution to unifying the world was unprecedented. He also sent Xu Fu to find the immortal immortal recipe, hoping to live up to his longevity and become one of the gods. However, he refused, and used the word "emperor" together. He also wanted to pass it down to generations, so he called himself "the first emperor".

', said: 'After generations are counted, the second and third generations will be passed on to all generations, and will be passed down to infinity.' Unexpectedly, the second generation died, and after that, no one who has conquered the world can think of anyone who is both honorable and unparalleled and has evidence to test.

He said, so the emperor called him down all the way."

Guan Shengyun stuck out his tongue: "Oh my god! I usually speak smoothly, but I didn't expect that there are so many details in these words..."

Near noon, Li Shaobing finally heard the sound of people and the sound of logging.

As he expected, the dog thieves didn't pay any attention to the auxiliary soldiers who had not returned in the past two days. This place was simply too good, almost reaching the end of the dense forest where it was barely passable. Further east, there were dense vines and vines entangled in the forest.

Together, they completely blocked the way forward. And there were quite a few people who heard the noise - hey, no matter how many people there are, they are still unarmored auxiliary soldiers. If you scare them a few words, they will be killed like those guys the day before yesterday. With a wave of his hand, he has already put on his armor.

The infantrymen dispersed in understanding, and gathered quietly at a distance. Horses were not allowed to move in most places in the forest, and the horsemen were waiting along the edge of the forest. Li Shaobing came out of the forest and called for everyone to get on their horses.

Also entered the trail forward and backward.

Not long after he entered the forest again, he heard a faint explosion in the air. Li Shaobing felt nervous and turned around to listen. Through the sparse branches and leaves, a trace of light yellow smoke was left in the southern sky.

The wind blows away.

Li Shaobing was all too familiar with this kind of smoke mark: Although generals have their own habits and the meanings of fireworks are also different, there is no doubt that the only fireworks that can reach such a height are those specially used for military liaison!

Realizing that something was going wrong, Li Shaobing shouted loudly and called to his companions: "There's a scam! Run!" After shouting a few times, he turned his horse's head and ran back to the way he came.

Just as we were riding up the official road, we saw smoke and dust rising from the south in the distance: it was a cavalry team, galloping towards us!

Knowledge points in this article:

1. In ancient marches, unless they were advancing on alert in enemy territory, and the forward-exploring Tangqi were blocked by the terrain and could not spread out in a net, generally most of the soldiers were not wearing armor, and at most they were sword and shield soldiers carrying sidearms, and the baggage was carried by large troops.

It can be transported by vehicle or simply carried by auxiliary soldiers so that the soldiers can maintain their physical strength at all times.

2. The origin of the title of emperor.
