Warring States Eagle

On the first day of October in the ninth year of Tianwen, this day was already the third day of the siege of Yuansheng City. The offensive and defensive sides were still facing each other, and there was no overly fierce battle.

On the morning of this day, Zheng Liang was evaluating with the two brothers who had just arrived, Monomon Bantou Yinuo and the leader of the Ninja Black Hawk, Yi Ruo.At this time, the servant Kuna Tong hurried in and reported: "His Royal Highness, a small morning boat sailed from the east bank of Shangchuan. The people on board claimed to be the emissaries of the Ishihara family and came to see His Highness."

"Oh?" Zheng Liang and the two retainers below looked at each other, feeling very surprised. He didn't expect that the detective who had sneaked into the other party's territory had not sent back the news, but the other party sent an envoy first.

"Let the other party's envoy come to meet with him." Zheng Liang couldn't guess the other party's intention for a while, so he decided to meet the other party's envoy and hear the latter's intention.

. . . . . .

When Hu Natong came with the two, Zheng Liang deliberately arranged a performance.

In the Luo family's military tent under Yuansheng City, three young girls sat side by side in a corner of the military tent, two of them were playing the pipa handed down from China, and the last one was singing in harmony:

Yoshino peak snow prudence,

Farewell to you and drift away,

Day and night, I miss you nine times,

The phase period is only in the dream. <The silk is exhausted to ashes,

This hatred is endless.

These three women were originally singers purchased by a merchant in Kyushu. They didn't want to be captured by pirates during a voyage, and were sold to the city lord of Yuansheng City after several twists and turns.Two days ago, the troops of the Luo family swept up the towns around Yuansheng City, and rescued these women from a small village belonging to the owner of Yuansheng City.What they are singing now is a song called "Dance of Silence".Speaking of this song, I have to involve a famous beauty in Japan, Jing Yuqian.

Jing Yuqian is famous as a peerless dancer, and her background is not noble.Jing Yuqian's mother is Bai Paizi named Ji Zen Master, and Jing Yuqian learned dance from her mother since childhood.She is talented and intelligent, not only has beautiful dancing posture, but also has excellent dancing skills. When she was about 14 years old, she danced to pray for rain in Shenquanyuan.Maybe it was her perfect dancing posture that moved the sky, and the heavy rain poured down, from then on.She is famous as a peerless dancer.

At the age of 15, she met Minamoto Yoshitsune, the younger brother of Minamoto Yoritomo, who defeated the Heike Triumph in Tannoura by chance.Not long after she became Minamoto's concubine, Minamoto was hunted down by his brother Minamoto on suspicion of treason.She also fled with Yoshitsune to Mount Yoshino, where women are forbidden to enter and leave, and she broke up with Yoshitsune in tears.Captured by Raito's soldiers.

Jing appeared in "Genpei Rise and Fall" when he returned to Kyoto triumphantly after the victory in the Battle of Tanpu (April 1185, 4). At this time, Yoshitsune and Jing were living a sweet and happy love life.Jing was also with Yoshitsune when he escaped from Kyoto on November 24 of the same year.After Daemopo was hit by a storm, Jing, Yoshitsune and others spent the night at Tennoji.Afterwards, Kyoto issued an order to search for Yoshitsune, and they fled to the snow-covered Yoshino Mountain.Later, Yoshitsune felt that it was dangerous to take a woman to walk in the snow, so he decided to let her go to the place where her mother loved Zenni.He gave her a lot of gold and silver, and sent servants to escort her out of the mountain.Unexpectedly, her money was robbed by servants on the way down the mountain, so Jing had to go back to Bei Baichuan's mother alone.

Soon Jing was summoned by the government (Liupo Luo) for questioning. On March 1186, Wenzhi 3nd year (1), the mother and daughter were sent to Kamakura and subjected to harsh interrogation.Raitomo was very dissatisfied with this, but there was nothing he could do.soon.Kamakura Hachiman Shrine held a ritual ceremony.Yoritomo's wife Hojo Masako and her eldest daughter Daihime asked her to perform.Jing repeatedly insisted that his resignation was invalid, and finally performed a dance at the Wakakan Hall of Tsuruoka Hachijo Palace on April 4.She put on the costume of "Shiratoko" and danced fearlessly in front of her husband's enemies headed by Yoritomo.At that time, the lyrics she sang while dancing were very famous.The song she sang was a sad longing for Yoshitsune, the person she loved, and this song is the song sung by several women today.

In the presence of a large crowd, Jing expresses her miss for her lover Yoshitsune by singing and dancing. This behavior undoubtedly means resistance to Yoritomo.And it doesn't match the atmosphere of celebrating the festival.Of course, Jing Yuqian knew this and did it on purpose.Minamoto Yoritomo was really irritated.In the end, it was only under the persuasion of Minamoto Yoritomo's wife Hojo Masako that he finally left the stage.

Jing Yuqian is pregnant with Yoshitsune's child.Lai Chao has an order: if it is a girl baby, it will not be beheaded.But if a boy is born, he will be killed immediately.Both Zhengzi and Jing hope to have a girl, and this year is a leap on July 7.Jing really gave birth to a son for Yoshitsune, but the child was abandoned on the beach.Due to Masako's sympathy, Jing left Kamakura and returned to Kyoto on September 29.After Jing Yuqian returned to Kyoto, he missed Yoshitsune who fled to Oshu Hiraizumi day and night.

One day, she and her maid Koto came to the Thought Bridge in Shimohamame Village, Sowa Town (now Sowa Town, Ibaraki Prefecture). First kill his wife Xiang Yuqian, and then kill his eldest daughter Guihe Yuqian.Jing Yuqian was very sad, wandering on the bridge and crying.

Soon after, in order to mourn the souls of Yoshitsune, he became a nun at the local Koyanagi Temple, chanted and prayed for her husband Yoshitsune and the murdered child, and lived a miserable life.He died of illness on September 9 of the same year at the age of 15.The maid Qin went to bury her in Gaoliu Temple.

It can be said that this woman is like a dazzling meteor flying in the dark night sky. She showed an instant dazzling brilliance on the stage of history, and then disappeared in a blink of an eye.However, the song she sang for her lover survived.

Just as Zhengliang was immersed in the memory of the origin of this song, the close servant Kunatong led two people to the door of the military tent: "Your Highness, the guests have been brought."

Zheng Liang waved his hand and let the women back out, and then said to the outside of the tent, "Please come in!"

As soon as the words fell, under the leadership of Hu Natong, a middle-aged man walked in with a strong-looking young man, "The officers and soldiers of the foreign minister Shi Yuan's family pay respects to His Highness." Zhengliang bowed and saluted.The young man behind him also bowed slightly as a salute.

"Hehehe, you don't need to be polite, sir, please sit down." Zheng Liang pointed to the two seats that had been prepared earlier, and motioned for them to sit down.

After the two sat down on their knees, Zheng Liang continued, "Hehe, what do you think of the song just now?"

Kanbei didn't expect Zheng Liang to talk about other things first, and it was the elegant thing he was least good at. He couldn't express the prepared words for a while, which seemed a bit embarrassing, and he had to hem and haw in the end Responded: "The minister doesn't understand dance music at all, but it sounds very moving."

"Hahaha, Mr. Guan Bingwei is really straightforward." Zheng Liang first laughed, and then his expression suddenly became serious, staring at Guan Bingwei and asked, "Then, Mr. Guan Bingwei, can you tell me what you came here today?" Why?"

"This..." Guan Bingwei was completely dazed by Zheng Liang's erratic expression and the sudden change of topic. He came to reconcile with the Luo family under the order of the head of the family."

"Patriarch's order?" Zheng Liang smiled, and while continuing to stare at the officers and soldiers with sharp eyes, he said flatly, "Your patriarch is still a guest of the Huzi family's clan?" The word "guest" is even more deliberately emphasized tone.

The real purpose of Zhengliang's remark was to test the other party's reality, especially to confirm whether the civil strife in Huzi's family was still going on.

Sure enough, after hearing Zheng Liang's words, the officers and soldiers were obviously flustered.Seeing this, Zheng Liang calmed down secretly. The other party is indeed still in civil strife. It seems that this time the negotiation can be a little stronger. Thinking of this, Zheng Liang did not wait for the other party to boast, and continued: "Hehe, Mr. Guan Bingwei Don't be surprised by this. My family also has acquaintances at Huzi's house, and they are very clear about the situation there. Speaking of which, what do you think of the morale of our army, Mr. Guan Bingwei?"

"This?" Guan Bingwei had just stabilized his panic, but was immediately confused by Zheng Liang's sudden words, so he could only reply casually, "Your morale is indeed very high."

"Oh? Lord Guanbingwei also has the same opinion?" Masaragi said pretending to be surprised.

In fact, before Zheng Liang asked the question just now, he was sure that the other party would answer in this way.why?Because after learning of the arrival of the Shi Yuan family's envoy, Zheng Liang immediately arranged for the troops outside the army tent to conduct training, and he must intentionally show his momentum, not only to intimidate the guards in Yuansheng City, but also to give the opponent a dismount .At the same time, a few singers were invited to perform in the tent, fully revealing the confidence of the Yuansheng City captured by the Luo family.

"Since what, when does Guan Bingwei think the Luo family will be able to capture Yuansheng City?" Zheng Liang asked taking advantage of the situation.

"His Royal Highness Zheng Liang...huh? Huh? Your Highness Zheng Liang, what do you mean?" Guan Bingwei was about to answer when he suddenly realized the meaning of Zheng Liang's words, stood up immediately, and said angrily to Zheng Liang.

This sudden action caused Kuna who was standing behind Zheng Liang to draw out his sword with a "Cheng" sound, and glared at the officers and soldiers, while Yi Nuo, who had been sitting under Zheng Liang's hands and listening, also stood up and pointed at the officers and soldiers. Wei stared at him.At the same time, the cloaked guards outside the tent also ran in after hearing the sound.

"Hahaha, you all step back." Zheng Liang laughed, waved his hands, and signaled that everyone should not be nervous, and then said to Guan Bingwei, "Master Guan Bingwei, don't be angry. I just want to tell you, since our family is determined to win Yuansheng City, How can there be a 'reconciliation'?"

"Hmph!" The officer and soldier snorted coldly, sat down again, and continued, "His Royal Highness Zhengliang seems to be a little too deceitful."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Zheng Liang asked in confusion.

"Your Highness Zheng Liang, we came here with sincerity this time," the sturdy young man who had been silent all this time suddenly said.

"You are?" Zheng Liang asked suspiciously.Zheng Liang had always thought that this young man was just a samurai protecting Guan Bingwei, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"Executive Toshisaburo Tekken, executive of Shimohizen Kushida Palace," said the young man, bowing and saluting. (To be continued..)
