That day, General Ji saw me wandering around in new clothes. At that time, he was explaining something to the patrolling soldiers outside the palace gate, as if to ask them to be on guard. When he saw me, he waved me over.
"Tian Zong, where did the new clothes come from?"
"The lady asked me to do it," I replied truthfully.
"Oh?" He looked at me carefully, as if saying to himself, "The pillar is pretty good... Come on, I'll teach you two tricks."
I knew that General Ji was a capable general on the battlefield, and it was not easy for him to take the initiative to teach me kung fu. He took me to the backyard. I thought he would teach me a set of boxing techniques, but unexpectedly he just told me the essentials of breathing and breathing.
, this is not bad. He asked me to face due east every day at high tide and follow the instructions he told me. I agreed.
In return, I told him the secret on Zhangdao. He was surprised when he heard it. He said it was really a secret. He asked me not to tell anyone else. I said, Sangou went with me. I even went with Sangou.
Without telling him, he nodded and went into the palace.
When I saw him again, I found that General Ji had changed his clothes, took off his official clothes, and was dressed like a fisherman. He just grabbed me and we got on a small boat.
I asked: "General Ji, where do you want to go?" He whispered to me, "Prince Tian asked me to go with you to explore the secret you mentioned."
Even I feel very honored to be able to go with General Ji to complete the task assigned by King Tian alone. I asked General Ji to bring fire seals and prepared three torches dipped in pine oil. In addition, we also brought
Anti-insect and anti-snake medicine, a roll of rope, dry food and water, he also brought a sword with him
So, we set off
Because there is a boat, it doesn't matter the ebb and flow of the tide. General Ji's skill in rocking the boat was beyond my expectation. I thought that a general on horseback must be a layman rocking an oar, but I was wrong. The boat was in General Ji's hands.
It became a barracuda and drove us quickly towards Zhangdao. The wind was calm and we landed in less than a meal.
Standing on the shore, I looked up and saw that the hole I fell into last time should be hidden in the weeds halfway up the mountain. If it weren't for the protruding rock with a pine tree growing on the side, I wouldn't have done it.
It will be easy to find, because Sangou once hugged the pine tree and cried on the stone, so I remember it very deeply
In the daytime, it seems that the entrance of the cave is not really a cave entrance. It is hidden behind the big rock, and the entrance of the cave is covered with airtight grass. Climbing up from the bottom of the island, there is a blind spot for people's sight. I wonder why.
It was dark at night, how did I fall in?
Maybe this is God's will, God allowed me to wear it here, maybe it was to let me find this hole, this hole as big as a washbasin
I relied on my own courage and got in first with my feet down. Soon, I felt the expected slipperiness, and my whole body slid down involuntarily. But knowing that General Ji was behind me, this time I
After feeling no fear at all, he quickly stood up and leaned to the side. It would not be fun if General Ji's burly body hit him.
General Ji first let the guy we brought down from the entrance of the cave. After a long time, he fell in with a chirp. It turned out that the narrow entrance of the cave cost him a long time.
We made a fire, lit a torch, and walked along the cave. Only then did I see clearly the original appearance of the cave. Except that the ground was very slippery when we first entered the cave, we walked 20 minutes inside.
After a few steps, the ground and the cave wall were quite dry. There were no protruding rocks on the cave wall. On the contrary, it was very smooth, but it felt very hard when I put my hand on it. General Ji walked behind me, and I saw him using his saber to dig out the cave wall.
, leaving only a few white prints on the stone wall, the road under the feet continued slightly downward, and the roof of the cave in front showed a white light under the firelight.
At the beginning, I walked in front, and General Ji and I chatted while walking. From the conversation with him, I learned some things before they came to the island, which gave me a more immersive feeling than reading a history book.
General Ji told me that the land of Qi was once owned by the King of Tian. At that time, the King of Tian had strong soldiers and horses, and he was neither interested in Chu nor Han. He was very uncomfortable. At that time, General Ji was a veritable general, commanding tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Later, because of
The king of Tian and Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, had an affair. The two families fought for several years. Xiang Yu was a powerful enemy. They fought many times, but the king of Tian was defeated. The ground was about to be lost. But then, things turned for the better.
I asked, "What's the turning point?"
General Ji said that because Liu Bang attacked Pengcheng (now Xuzhou, Jiangsu), Xiang Yu withdrew his troops from Qi and rushed to aid Pengcheng. King Tian had the opportunity to recover a lot of lost territory, and the entire Qi territory returned to the possession of King Tian. Three years later, Liu Bang sent a counselor
, he should be called Li Shiqi and let him lobby the king of Tian, saying that history wants Qi and Han to unite and share wealth in the future.
"Then King Tian agreed." I said, General Dao Ji looked at me and said, "As you said, the kings and ministers of Qi were moved by him." Who knew that Liu Bang was talking nonsense while letting Han Xin lead his troops to attack us? You didn't know
At that time, Li Shiqi was still in Qi, and the King of Tian had already ordered all the passes to be lifted, so that all 70 cities in Qi were occupied by Han Xin.
"Then King Tian got angry and cooked Li Shiqi?" I said
"I found that you kid knows quite a lot. Only a few of us Tian Wang's confidants knew about cooking Li and eating him. The outer chamber only talked about beheading. How did you know about it?"
We were passing through a very narrow passage, so General Ji didn't ask any more questions. I vaguely felt him behind me, being hit on the head by a stone passing through the top of the cave. He didn't say anything, just rubbed it, and touched my head.
In my eyes, General Ji can be regarded as a calm man. He is in his forties. In my original world, there was an actor named Zhang Fengyi who had played Camel Xiangzi. He looked exactly like him, except that
, he has a nice black beard
He went on to say, "Liu Bang did this unfairly. He did one thing and another, so what if he conquered the world?"
I said, "General Ji, I'm afraid it's not just that simple, but there's someone even more dishonest. I wonder if the general knows about it?"
"who?"
"Han Xin"
"I always thought that Han Xin was a talented man. He used the ambush strategy to defeat Xiang Yu and avenge our King Tian. King Tian also said so." Maybe this is the so-called limitation of history.
Sex is a fascination for the authorities. I said as I walked, "Think about Han Xin. He turned out to be a subordinate of Xiang Yu. He was dissatisfied with not getting a promotion and switched to Liu Bang. He should be the most successful job-changer in history."
"Job hopping?" General Ji was puzzled, and I suddenly realized that he didn't know this word. "It means betraying one's master and asking for glory," I explained.
"Oh, I understand, I understand. I have seen livestock people jump into that trough when they see that the food in this trough is not tasty."
I laughed secretly. It turns out that this is the original meaning of job-hopping. As time goes by, many words now have new meanings, but the original meaning has gradually become unfamiliar. It seems that we should not make jokes in this regard in the future.
"If nothing else, let's just say that Han Xin's attack on Qi was not Liu Bang's idea. This Han Xin was a strong and aggressive figure. When he learned that Li Shiqi had persuaded Qi without any effort, he must have been very unhappy.
, a counselor under him, named Kuai Tong, said to him: General, you fought in the south and north, fought east and west, and finally captured fifty cities of Yan and Zhao. Now Li Shi can easily win them.
You have gained seventy cities in Qi with just two words. If you were to reward your merits, but a Confucian scholar should be ranked in front of you, the general, wouldn't this make the world laugh at you? Why don't you take advantage of Li Shi's final return and pretend to be
Not knowing this, when Han Xin heard about the surprise attack on the Qi army, he immediately sent troops, so Li Shiqi was cooked."
"How do you know? But... as for him changing jobs, it seems that he is expected to do such a thing. From this, Han Xin is also a despicable person. If he falls into my hands in the future,
I will cut him into pieces with a thousand swords to relieve my hatred!" General Ji said angrily.
I said, "I will no longer bother you, General Ji. He will be killed by Liu Bang in the near future."
"I don't believe this. Killing heroes is not what a good king should do," General Ji said, "but I still don't believe that Liu Bang would be willing to kill him."
"When the birds are gone, a good bow is hidden". Although it is a parrot imitation, I still feel that my use of this saying here has the flavor of a sage.
General Ji has looked at me with strange eyes with a hint of admiration more than once. I pretended not to realize it. Looking at the events at that time with the thinking of a college student two thousand years later is indeed shocking to people who were born at that time.
Measurement
As we talked, we quickly arrived at the place where I found the fireflies gathering last time. I asked General Ji to put out the torch temporarily, and he did so. After our eyes adapted to the darkness, we gradually saw the fireflies lurking on the cave wall.
A layer of bright spots, densely packed along the cave wall, stretches into the distance, like a black belt studded with diamonds
