Shu Chen

Chapter 91
Late summer, early June.

After being intimidated and molested by the plank road mountain wind for eight days, Zheng Pu finally led the new Xuanwu army to Baishui Pass.

As soon as they got off the plank road, before entering the customs, everyone burst into cheers.

The sound of the voice and the joy of the face are no less than the slaying of the general and the capture of the flag.

Even Zhao Guang, who was walking on the plank road for the first time, was more than eight feet long and masculine.

After all, the experience of being on the plank road day and night is not only about courage, but also emotional depression.

The Baishui Pass was also built along the Bailong River (in the area of ​​today's Bailong Lake).

The river is quite spacious, the riverbeds on both sides of the river are scrawled with scales, and the steep mountain walls on both sides are lush green. Occasionally, apes and monkeys can be heard screaming and cheering, which arouses countless echoes in the valley, and the aftertaste is endless.

Naturally, this spaciousness is compared to Jiameng Pass.

As expected, the supervisor Liu Min had been waiting in the pass for more than ten days.

"Zijin, why is it too late!"

When he came out of the pass to greet him, he smiled happily and made a joke.

Just before Zheng Pu could answer, he took his hand and said in a low voice, "I know that the trek on the plank road is difficult, and Zijin is quite tired. However, the Prime Minister's order was urgent, and he asked Zijin to be patient and follow suit. I'm going through the customs to see Li Shou-General."

Ok?
It is nothing more than an attack on Yinping Di Wang Qiangduan, why is it so urgent.

Could it be that there is a change in it?

In an instant, Zheng Pu's thoughts were overwhelmed.

Not neglecting him, he called Huo Yi and Zhao Guang sideways, "You guys should settle down and find me again."

After he said that, he followed Liu Minji to enter the customs.

While walking on the Tao, Liu Min saw that there was no one left or right, so he whispered to him, "Zijin, the prime minister asked me to transfer orders on my behalf, and let you supervise the west of the headquarters to go out of Baishui, and attack the Yin Pingdi Wang Qiangduan. The Prime Minister has a handwritten note for specific matters. Show it, I will take it to transfer you after I see Shou-General Li."

really!

A secret voice in my heart.

Zheng Pu's face was calm, and he nodded in response, "Okay, I will live up to the Prime Minister's expectations."

Such a gesture also made Liu Min pause for a moment before he took another step forward.

He couldn't help but praise, "Zijin suddenly heard about such an important matter, and his face was like a lake! It's really the wind of a good general!" After speaking, he sighed again, "Ashamed! When I heard it, The voice and appearance are all moving, and there is no calm style. Although the eldest son Jin is many years old, he is not as many as Zijin!"

"Heh~~~~~~"

Hearing this, he couldn't help shaking his head and chuckling.

After making a few words of humility, Zheng Pu continued to ask, "Brother Zi Rui, he is just leading the army to defeat the thieves.

"Hahaha~~~~~~"

This time, Liu Min no longer suppressed his voice, and laughed loudly, "This is Zijin's way of protecting food, so I don't know anything!"

After laughing for a while, Fang Xirong came over, looking forward, "In the middle of Xia May, against Wei Cao Pi, die!"

It was Cao Pi who died.
Zheng Pu, who stopped abruptly, was also suddenly enlightened in an instant.

He knew the reason why Liu Min was anxious.

To be precise, it was Prime Minister Zhuge Liang who was anxious.

One, of course, last year Sun Wu sent a book to ask the big Han to send troops to respond.

Sun Wu, who was repeatedly attacked by rebels against Wei, might not be able to fight when Xiahou Shang died, but now that Cao Pi has died, according to the nature of Sun Quan and all the ministers in Jiangdong, it is impossible to stand on the sidelines, and let rebel Wei be able to safely transition to the regime.

The other is that the big Han sent troops at this time, and there is no need to worry about triggering the vigilance against Wei Wei, and he will think that Bashu has recovered his vitality.

The state-owned funeral is a good opportunity for conquest!
When Cao Pi was mourned, Bashu sent another ministry to harass him. Isn't it natural?

Furthermore, the place where the troops came out was in Yinping County rather than Wudu, wouldn't it just prove that Bashu was unable to compete with Niwei?

As the saying goes, "the opportunity must not be lost, the time will never come"!

In order not to miss the opportunity, the Prime Minister urged Liu Min to urge Zheng Pu to send troops as soon as possible, which is reasonable.

"Great!"

Zheng Pu also clasped his palms and laughed loudly, and said to him, "Cao Pi, who rebelled against Wei Wei, carried his fierce rebellion, stealing artifacts, and died a few years ago this year, which is also a punishment from heaven! It can be seen that my big man is given by the mandate of heaven, not a traitor or a murderer. Take it! Congrats!"

Involved in the destiny, Liu Min was slightly startled.

However, it was very fast, so he reacted and praised loudly, "Zijin's words are great!"

And laugh and laugh, and words and deeds.

When they were young, the two went to Li Shou-general's office.

Li Shoujun was originally a soldier recruited by the late emperor Liu Bei when he was a guest in Xinye, Jingzhou.

Similar to the veteran general Chen Shi, he marched from the west to the east as a chief, and accumulated merits and achievements to Guan Duwei with one knife and one shot.

However, he was much worse than Chen Shi.

However, at the age of [-], he was already tortured by the wounds from the battle, like a [-]-year-old peasant who lived on the outskirts of the countryside with grain and chaff for the rest of his life.

Moreover, there is not much literacy, and the filial piety scriptures are not fully studied.

If there is no miracle, guarding Baishuiguan should be the end of his career and life.

Therefore, his service is known for his strict law enforcement, no matter what his background is, he will not be rude.

When Zheng Pu and Liu Min came shoulder-to-shoulder and greeted each other, he spoke directly.

"I already know about the Prime Minister's order. This case is the topographical map of the Jinggu Road area. If Governor Zheng still needs supplies such as knives, soldiers, food, etc., you can open your mouth. If there is any stock in this pass, I will not be stingy. But , my duty is to guard the pass, and the prime minister has not ordered me to do anything else, so I send troops to attack, and I also ask the commander Zheng to take charge of himself."

After all, turn around and leave.

There was no delay at all, and he won the decisiveness in the army.

Well, Shou-General Li has already made his words clear.

His duty is to defend, and only to defend!
If Zheng Pu was defeated or trapped by the Yinping Di Wang Qiangduan when he led his army into battle, he would definitely not send troops to rescue him.

Unless, the Prime Minister has a new commander!

In other words, he, who survived the sea of ​​corpses and blood, knew that military affairs were no child's play.

Seeing that Zheng Pu was serving as a military governor at a young age, he was afraid that he would take risks and take risks and regard the lives of his soldiers as a waste, so he would give a faint warning on the grounds of not supporting him.

That's why Zheng Pu looked at his back, an inexplicable smile blooming on the corner of his mouth.

It makes sense that this person can grow from a very young age to being awarded the post of Commander Guan.

He didn't do anything else, and just before he came to the case, he took a closer look at the map of Jinggu Road.

And Liu Min looked quite embarrassed.

He originally wanted to ask Li Shou to stay in Baishuiguan for a long time to get acquainted with Yin Ping and give Zheng Pu some advice, but he expected Zheng Pu to come to be preached?

"cough!"

With a light cough, Liu Min said softly, "Zijin waits for a while, I'll go get the Prime Minister's handwritten book."

"Okay, there is brother Lao Zirui."

When I was young, Huo Yi and Zhao Guang arrived.

And Liu Min also brought the book, but he came together with another person.

I saw that he was about forty years old, nearly eight feet long, with beard and hair like a halberd, and his eyes were bright under his thick eyebrows.

"Zijin, this is the subordinate of General Zhenyuan, King Di of Baiqing, who is well versed in the terrain and customs of Wudu and Yinping."

As soon as he entered the house, Liu Min took the lead in introducing everyone.

The strong man also spoke directly, his voice was like a bell, "Then below is Yang Ji and Yang Wan, who was sent by General Ma and brought more than a hundred clansmen to discuss the yin and the strong with the army of Zheng Du. I will go to Baishui Pass ten days ago. In his spare time, he went out of the prison and captured the head of the fallen sect and several garrison soldiers in Yinping and returned, and the right should be congratulations to the governor!"

Not being polite?

Could it be that I am young and evil?

And it is obvious that he came to help, but he claimed to discuss it together, and even dispatched thieves without authorization and returned to show his force. Is he taking credit?
Zheng Pu was displeased after hearing this.

There was no etiquette to stand up to greet him, but he nodded lightly, "Bring the captives up."

Ok?
Seemingly to Zheng Pu's indifference, Yang Ji was quite surprised, he nodded his head and walked out.

And Zheng Pu was already thinking with a frown on the case.

Northwest Qiangdi, with homology.

The difference between the two is that the Naidi people were more sinicized.

For example, the Qiang tribe is still mainly nomadic, supplemented by farming, and has no surnames; while the Di people have followed the Han etiquette, have a surname, and learn the Han language, and they have settled their towns and focused on farming.

Well, Yang Ji is the White Horse Di King.

Baima Di was once the most powerful tribe of Di people in Wudu County.

His eldest father, Yang Teng, was originally from a noble family in Longyou. Taking advantage of the Qiang chaos in the northwest during the reign of Emperor Ling, he led the White Horse Qiang (Di) outside the Han territory to move in and settled in Wudu, thus becoming the king of Di.

And because they live in Qiuchi Mountain, the mountain has a hundred hectares of flat land, so it is called "the king of Baiqingdi".

In the past, when Ma Chao took Long, he and Longyou's "King of Xingguo Di", Agui, raised troops to respond.

After the defeat, King Di of Xingguo was killed in battle, and Xingguo City was slaughtered by Xiahou Yuan.

Baima Di also suffered heavy casualties, and the tribal momentum suddenly declined. In desperation, Yang Ji had to go south with Ma Chao and rely on Zhang Lu in Hanzhong.

Later, Ma Chao abandoned Zhang Lu and went to Shu to join the late emperor Liu Bei, accompanied by Yang Ji.

That is, only more than [-] clansmen came with him.

Furthermore, he and his family, his family, his wife, and children, along with Ma Chao's second wife, Dong's wife, and his son, Ma Qiu, stayed in Hanzhong and were detained by Zhang Lu.

Wei Wu, Cao Cao, took Hanzhong, Zhang Lu killed Ma Qiu, Yang Ji's family members and clan women and children were killed, or rewarded to soldiers, or migrated into the customs.

Therefore, Zheng Pu was a little surprised.

Why is Yang Ji, who has become a lost dog, so arrogant?

Could it be that he wanted to take credit, and when the Tu army took prisoners, let me give him all these prisoners, and then the tribe would be evil?
It's just that his tribe is declining, what does it have to do with me?
Furthermore, he is already Ma Dai's subordinate, and he is paid a large salary by the Han Dynasty. An You doesn't know what the army has obtained, so he can't give it arbitrarily?

If you respect yourself as King Di, why don't you know my big man's oath "When the sun and the moon shine, all are ministers and concubines"!
Thunder, rain, and dew are all graces of God!
Giving it is a kindness, not giving it is a law, can you ask yourself and take it?

Amazing!

While thinking about it, Yang Ji led the retinue and dragged five Di people prisoners in.

One old, four young, the old man should be the mayor.

Zheng Pu got up, stepped forward, and looked at the old man, "I will tell you all about the garrison at the bridgehead, and I will spare your life. Otherwise, I will concoct you into a human body today to comfort the spirits of General Wu and other soldiers!"

"Pooh!"

When Zheng Pufu finished his words, the prisoner raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes, and shot out a mouthful of thick phlegm.It hit the front of Zheng Pu's armor with great precision.

Immediately, the captain of the captured town roared like thunder, and his ears sounded, "The thief should not talk much, he will kill if he wants to kill it! How can Nai Gong be a person who is greedy for life and fears death!"

Uh.
Everyone was stunned by this change and looked at each other, their eyes dazed and speechless.

Beggar House is the fastest response.

In an instant, his face turned red, his beard and hair were stretched out, like a mandrill in rage.

Instinctively, he put his hand on the hilt of the sword on the waist and clenched it tightly, staring at the prisoner of the city with fierce and ruthless eyes.

However, he did not draw his sword.

But after taking a few quick breaths, he clenched his palms back, rolled up his sleeves, and gently wiped the dirt on Zheng Pu before stepping forward.

This savage who was ignorant of Wang Hua's etiquette at first has been by Zheng Pu's side for more than a year, and has become a perfect squire who never asserts himself.

"nice!"

Zheng Pu, whose face was slightly stunned, smiled inconceivably, and clapped his palms in praise, "A true warrior!"

When Liu Min heard the words, he secretly expressed his breath.

After all, he had vaguely heard the rumors that this Xuanwu warlord was stubborn and stubborn.

Now that a prisoner spit and insulted him in public, and called himself "Nei Gong" and scolded him, how could he not worry that he would violently slaughter all the prisoners?
However, looking at it now, Zheng Pu is focusing on the overall situation.

It seems that in order to obtain the military situation of Yinping County, he wants to imitate the action of the old chariot general Zhang Fei to explain Yan Yan in the past years, so that the prisoner's heart is broken.

Very good!

Zijin has the resources of a good general!

As expected of a person who is deeply influenced by the prime minister's equipment!
With such a thought in his heart, Liu Min couldn't help but smile as he nodded his head and smiled.

But he didn't want to. After Zheng Pu praised it, he raised his hand to stop the wiping of the beggar's house, and said in a light and calm tone, "As he wishes, kill it."

"promise!"

The squire, begging the tooth house, will never betray, from Zheng Pu's order.

Immediately, he complied with his promise, raised his foot and kicked the general's lead, and the ring-headed knife on his waist "哐唵" was unsheathed, raised over his shoulders, and drew an arc in mid-air and hurriedly fell.

The light of the knife was like training, and the blood splattered three feet high.

That Yijun's head fell to the ground and rolled several times before he was able to stabilize.

If you look at it carefully, you can still find that his face, which gradually turned white and gray, still has a few traces of surprise and confusion on his face.

Perhaps, when his head was separated, he was also puzzled.

For example, why did Zheng Pu just compliment him, and then he was cut off by his head?

It is no coincidence.

As the heads rolled, Liu Min suddenly trembled and snapped several beards.

His eyes were also dull, and the corners of his mouth were still twitching slightly.

Yang Ji on the other side was quite calm.

His face remains unchanged, and his body is as tall and straight as Bosong standing in a deep abyss.

It was in his eyes that there was a trace of awe-inspiring secrets secretly hidden;

Only Zhao Guang and Huo Yi, the two of them looked at each other and said a word to each other.

Zheng Pu did not know the thoughts and reactions of the crowd.

In other words, even if he knew about it, he was still indifferent and felt that it didn't matter.

When the head of the captive town head rolled on the ground, he had already stepped in front of the rest of the captives, and asked, "How do you make a choice? If you know everything, say it's evil? Or let me be evil as you wish?"

The conscientious begging teeth house, already holding the knife in front of him, stared intently.

Those eyes are like killing countless butchers, staring at a lamb to be slaughtered, thinking about how to make the knife easier.

"Forgive me! I said~~~"

"I know everything, don't kill me!"

The Di people's faces were ashen, and they kowtowed frequently, begging for mercy and begging for life incoherently.

Naturally, there is no shortage of generous elegiacs.

There was a Di person who imitated the mayor whose body was already cold, his face was full of blue veins, and he yelled, "Bah! Dog thief."

It is a pity.

Before he could finish cursing, Qi Ya Cuo's knife had arrived.

However, in the end, it is generous to die, and it can be regarded as benevolence.

And the knife is fast, and there is not much pain.

"Shaoxian, Yoshihiro."

Seeing the Di people's prisoners begging for work, Zheng Pu waved his hand and called out to the two of them, "Let's take these three prisoners and send them to other houses to inquire, and then discuss whether there is any conflict or inaccuracy. Kill it!"

After all, without waiting for them to take orders, they strode away.
