On the ninth day of May in the Xinwei year, just after the summer solstice, cicadas were already chirping in the treetops.
There is also a way to record the days of the zodiac, which is based on a cycle of sixty days. The most recent period of time is the Jiayin day. A certain army Sima is a half-hearted magic stick. Yesterday, he made a divination with his fingers, and roughly said that the Jiayin day
It means bold and dangerous, but on the other hand it also means courage and perseverance.
Qin Liang woke up in the main room, walked to the wooden desk first, picked up the letter he wrote last night and read it.
The reason why he slept in the main room was because there were too many people in the army, and every room in the village was full of people. Qin Liang occupied a main room to himself, sleeping on a straw mat at night, and removing the mat during the day to work
Meeting place.
The letters were written to Ling Jun, and sometimes he would also write to Xuan Ji, which had to be written separately. Thanks to the use of Deheng paper, which was easier to carry, he could accumulate many letters and then send them together when the time was right.
Return to Luoyang.
The content of these family letters, which use words such as scenes and metaphors, is Qin Liang's true level. Naturally, they cannot be compared with the copied poems. However, the letters are specifically written to one person, so the feeling of reading them is naturally very different.
In this letter last night, Qin Liang wrote about a bridge in Chengdu called Shengxian Bridge, also called Si Ma Bridge, which is related to the story of Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun. But writing about Sima Xiangru’s emotions and ambitions is not
In order to express his feelings, Qin Liang’s own desire to go to Chengdu?
In fact, when it comes to Chengdu, the first thing that Qin Liang thinks of is Erxian Bridge; everyone knows that to go to Erxian Bridge, you have to take Chenghua Avenue. However, for the ancients, the old story of Sima Xiangru is better understood.
Qin Liang picked up the kettle, shook it, poured some into the dry inkstone, then dipped his pen in it and corrected a typo.
After a while, he got up and walked to the door, glanced at the light rain outside, then picked up the umbrella at the door and went out.
At this time, several people came over on the eaves, Wang Jun, Zhong Hui, and Jia Chong, some holding bamboo hats or umbrellas. The three of them stood still, bowed and said, "I have seen the general."
Qin Liang bowed and bowed in return, "Go out and have a look."
Several people walked together and walked towards the courtyard gate.
The group of people walked out of the yard, then turned west and walked up the ramp on the side of the mansion. After Qin Liang went up the hill, he inadvertently turned his head and looked back. He suddenly felt that the tile-roofed hall where he lived was
, it looks even more dated from the outside, as if it has become a dilapidated building!
Qin Liang looked at it for a while and soon discovered the reason. The green tube tiles used in residential houses are relatively small. If the house is slightly larger, it seems that there are countless tiles spread on the roof, which looks very fragile. In addition, it is formed by wind and sun.
It is old and dirty, so it looks dangerous and old.
Everyone continued to move forward and soon arrived at the mounds on the east bank of the West Han River. Qin Liang looked at the scenery on the water as he had done a few days ago.
As soon as the space in front of us opened up, the light rain in the sky superimposed into a rain curtain. On rainy days in the Yizhou area, there is a lot of water vapor, and the sky and the earth look gray and foggy.
The environment can really affect a person's state of mind. Qin Liang couldn't help but take a deep breath, trying to overcome this hazy and low image.
At this time, Wang Jun, who was wearing a bamboo hat, turned his head. His eyes left the water and looked at Qin Liang's face, "General, the water in the Western Han Dynasty has risen."
Qin Liang was still struggling with that unfathomable emotion. He glanced at the tiny ripples on the water without looking back, and casually responded: "Yes, the water is rising."
After a while, he came back to his senses, looked serious, and said in a deep voice: "The flood season has arrived!"
It has been nearly ten days since Qin Liang led his army to Xing'an Pavilion, but he has never encountered a heavy rain or rainstorm. The flood season of the river does not seem to be caused by nearby rain. The temperature rises in summer, and the snow-capped mountains in the upper reaches
Dissolution, or heavy rains around other river sections, may cause short-term water rises.
He stood with his head raised in the breeze again and continued to watch for a long time. Unknowingly, the light rain gradually stopped.
The color of the surrounding scenery also changed accordingly. Qin Liang subconsciously turned his head to look to the east, and saw a colorful cloud above the mountain shadow in the distance. The stream of light was colorful and extremely gorgeous!
He turned around again and looked towards the Hengduan Mountains to the south. The majestic mountains could be clearly seen from miles away. His emotions just ignited in his heart, and they were extremely high for a moment.
In an instant, Qin Liang even imagined that he seemed to have endless power, wearing golden chain armor, stepping onto the colorful auspicious clouds, and flying directly over the mountains. He wanted to break through the mountains and break all the shackles that hindered him!
This situation made him want to recite a poem.
But Qin Liang didn't recite a poem. He just thought about it casually. Before he could think of which poem was more suitable for the occasion, he noticed that Zhong Hui was observing him silently. Qin Liang turned his head and glanced at Zhong Hui generously.
Gradually, Qin Liang realized that as the commander of the army, only by being calm and composed can he stabilize people's hearts, and there is no need to share his mood with others at any time.
After all, all the units of the Chinese army have not arrived yet, and the roads that have just rained are still muddy, so I really don’t need to look anxious!
However, at this time, some of Wang Yu's troops in the Zhong base camp and the Kuei camp, plus the Chinese and foreign troops led by Deng Ai, Wen Qin and others who arrived in advance, could mobilize more than 40,000 people immediately.
So Qin Liang finally said: "The time is coming."
His voice was not loud, even cautious, as if he was afraid of disturbing the peaceful scenery that had just returned.
...The endless Hengduan Mountains, Niutoushan is one of them. The valley on the north side of the mountain range, a narrow and flat area that is hundreds of miles long, has three important places; from west to east, they are Jiange Pavilion, Jiameng
Guan, Xing'an Pavilion.
In addition to Jiange Pavilion, the other two places, Jiameng Pass and Xing'an Pavilion, are located at the intersection of the river.
Xing'an Pavilion, where the Chinese army is stationed, is on the east bank of the Western Han River. The Western Han River flows out of Micang Mountain from north to south, and turns to the southwest near Xing'an Pavilion. There is a tributary here, coming from the valley in the east and converging.
Entering the Western Han River, it is the mouth where water flows.
As long as people cross the tributary from the station to the south, they can reach the northern foot of the Hengduan Mountains.
Jian Pei, the commander of the Horse Army Department of the General's Palace, came to the camp of the Chinese army that evening and met with Ma Mao, the commander-in-chief. He was ordered to set off tomorrow morning to cross the tributary, so he came early to say goodbye to Ma Mao.
Jian Pei is a middle-aged man with a broad face. He was conquered by Ma Mao in Zhongli County many years ago. Ma Mao was still the elder of Zhongli at that time. Later Ma Mao went to Wu State, and Jian Pei still worked as a horse bowman in Yangzhou for many years.
Later, during the battle of Xianxi in Dongguan, he was favored by the general and appointed as the governor of the Horse Army.
At this time, the old master Ma Mao returned to Wei State and was an official in the General's Mansion, so Jian Pei came here to say goodbye.
They didn't see each other again for many years, and Jian Pei almost forgot about Ma Mao. However, after they reunited, Jian Pei felt that Ma Mao was still different from the strangers he had just met. Time is sometimes magical.
Jian Pei explained his purpose of coming and mentioned that he would lead his troops to follow Ma Long, the governor of Wudu, tomorrow.
Ma Mao then kindly warned: "Since you are the general's choice, you must not let down the general's trust. You must obey the general's orders from Ma Xiaoxing, overcome difficulties, and fight the enemy bravely."
Jian Pei hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed: "You should remember General Ma's instructions."
Ma Mao probably didn't have a deep impression of him, who was his vassal many years ago. However, Ma Mao was still willing to recognize Jian Pei and nodded in response.
At this time, Jian Pei suddenly asked: "General Ma followed the general to attend the court meeting. What is it like in the temple?"
Ma Mao was slightly surprised, thought for a while and said: "The courtyard of Taiji Palace is larger than the courtyard of the front hall of the General's Mansion. There is an open flat land in front of the palace. The main hall in the middle is on the high stone steps, but I only went there.
Go through the East Hall. There are ten doors in the East Hall and there are big pillars in the hall. When the sun comes out, the East Hall is very bright and spacious."
He paused and continued, "During the court meeting, you can see many important people. Normally, you only hear their names but never see them in person. You can see them with your own eyes in the east hall, and sometimes you can even bow to them and say goodbye."
One or two sentences."
Jian Pei listened to Ma Mao's description and imagined it for a while. Shao Qing, he smiled a little awkwardly and said: "Because Zhuo Jing mentioned it, I wanted to find an opportunity to ask General Ma. When General Ma was in Zhongli County,
He had met Zhuo Jing before, but the general may not remember it. When the servant mentioned General Ma, he often went to the palace with the general to attend court meetings, and Zhuo Jing mentioned this."
Ma Mao observed Jian Pei for a moment and said, "I just participated and never expressed my opinion in public."
Jian Pei said: "The Wei Dynasty had so many counties and counties, and countless officials, but not many people have entered the palace. And it is unusual to be familiar with the ministers."
Ma Mao said kindly: "If you do your business well, you will be able to go to court in the future. Although the scene in this remote valley cannot be compared with the majestic temple, the things you do here are real military merits! It can be compared to that in this remote valley.
Empty talk in the temple is much safer."
Jian Pei said seriously: "General Ma's words make sense!"
Ma Mao nodded and said, "You go and prepare for the trip. You will have a good rest tonight."
Jian Pei bowed and said, "Please take your leave, servant."
Ma Mao returned the favor: "Take care of yourself, sir."
Jian Pei left the camp of the Chinese army and rested for the night. At dawn the next day, he went to see Ma Long first, and then set off with his men.
His men were cavalry, but they did not carry horses this time. The cavalry turned into infantry, and people led mules and ponies across the tributaries of the Western Han River.
Not long after, a group of people arrived at the northern foot of the Hengduan Mountains and entered the mountain through a gap in the mountain. Hundreds of people walked along the flat valley for a mile or two, and then immediately walked onto the mountain road. This was a road that had just been
The winding mountain road built.
As they continued to move forward, they encountered some heavy troops who were building roads. There was no road ahead! Fortunately, everyone passed the mountainous section and followed the valley, overcoming thorns and thorns while moving forward.
The destination was thirty to forty miles to the southwest, called Jinjian Pavilion. Jian Pei looked at the road conditions and realized that if it were all this bushy mountain road, he probably wouldn't be able to walk thirty or forty miles in a whole day.
