Chapter 542: The good man of Yunzhou!
At the end of February, the south of the Yangtze River is already in a small spring, but for the north, it is still difficult to see too many green colors. Only the grass in the wild grows vigorously in the spring breeze, allowing the cattle and sheep who are in the ring and cannot be free during the cold winter to enjoy a good time. At this moment, under the blue sky and white clouds, a group of thin sheep are eating grass everywhere. And among these weeds, traces of the intertwined fields and ridges in the past can be vaguely seen.
But now, it is still deserted.
A middle-aged herder who was herding sheep was driving the flock casually, suddenly whipped his whip, suddenly pulled his throat and sang a folk song loudly. The hoarse voice echoed in the open field, and even aroused the birds drinking water in the small puddle. When a group of fifty or sixty people walked nearby, the young man in the lead couldn't help but stop and listen.
"The heroic man in Long has Chen An, who has a wide body in his lower abdomen, and he loves to raise his soldiers and hearts.
The father of the sacred horse is forged with iron saddles, the seven-foot sword is like turbulent, the snake spear is left and right, and ten swings are gone and ten times will never be present.
Hundreds of horses all emerge like clouds, and millions of horses pursued them are lingering.
The battle begins with three lost the snake spear, and the ten cavalry all swung and nine cavalry stayed.
I abandoned me and ran through the rocks. I stopped chasing myself and hanged for my foreign aid.
The water flows westward and flows eastward, but you won't return to Nazi until you leave
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
"Baoer, do you know which folk song this is?"
After hearing the teacher's question, Chen Baoer thought hard and finally shook his head with a hint. Although he studied hard for the past few years, his foundation was too poor and he had to read too many books. What's more, although some people have sorted out these folk songs with a strong Yuefu style, more of them have been lost. Chen Baoer has never heard of this song. Seeing that he was embarrassed, Du Shiyi said gently: "It's "Long Shang Song". It refers to the fact that King Liang Chen An raised an army to rebel against Zhao. Although Chen An was defeated and killed in the end, and was criticized for his recurrence, just listening to this song Yuefu, you will know that no matter why he first started to raise an army, there are still people who remember his achievements in resisting foreign enemies."
Chen Baoer quickly tried to write down the things Du Shiyixing taught him. Suddenly he remembered something and asked again: "What Master Du is talking about Zhao from the Five Barbarians and Sixteen Kingdoms?"
"Yes, although it is called Zhao, it is very different from Zhao during the Warring States Period. Moreover, the ancient city of Yunzhou we are going to is not an unknown place. Pingcheng, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, was here, and Liu Wuzhou was even more entrenched here in the early Tang Dynasty. It was not until the 14th year of Zhenguan that Emperor Taizong moved Dingxiang City here. However, in the first year of Yongchun, because Mochuo broke the city, all the soldiers and civilians in the city moved to Shuozhou. Even so, there were far more people here than the people. When the household registration was determined during the Zhenguan period, there were only more than seventy households and more than five hundred people."
"So little?" Chen Baoer widened his eyes in disbelief. The teacher ran for nearly two thousand miles and left a prosperous and prosperous place like Chang'an City, and became the chief in such a remote and deserted place?
Du Shiyi's disciples, although Wang Han and Cui Hao both knew the source of this folk song, no one talked too much. Wang Han even raised his horse whip and took Luo Ying straight to the middle-aged man who was grazing, bowed and asked, "You can still hear the Longxi accent in this Longshang song. You are not a local, right?"
The middle-aged shepherd saw such twenty or thirty people, and saw that Wang Han was majestic, he couldn't help but be a little alert, so he was very cautious about his questions: "Alang heard it wrong, he just sang casually."
"We are not checking the fugitives, but just ask casually, brother, don't be so nervous." Although Wang Han is rich, he is cheerful and does not feel offended when he hears this. He looked back at Du Shiyi and others, and he said kindly, "We went to Yunzhou to do business. How dare you ask what the situation in Yunzhou is now?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged shepherd's expression became more relaxed: "It turns out that you are from Yunzhou City. The attack on the Lord caused a lot of controversy. Fortunately, the Lord only rested in Mayi for two days before rushing back to the city, and the people's hearts were stable. Those horse thieves were simply bold and dared to attack the Lord."
After complaining for a few words, he suddenly looked at the large group of people behind Wang Han thoughtfully, and his face suddenly darkened. He looked at the slow horse under him. He seemed to struggle a little, but then he suddenly shrank his feet and pulled out a dagger from his waist and rushed towards Wang Han. Although Wang Han was not a scholar without any power, he was still caught off guard in the face of such a sudden sneak attack. Fortunately, Luo Ying next to him had not seen many big scenes of life and death fighting over the years. He was a first-class warning person and rushed to block the situation at the critical moment. Although the middle-aged shepherd had some skills, he was captured by him soon.
Faced with the changes here, Du Shiyi, who was still teaching Chen Baoer, immediately lost his interest and immediately brought people to come over. When Luo Ying pressed the shepherd and knelt on the ground, he saw Wang Han pressing his hand on his chest and was still scared, so he deliberately smiled and said with a lively atmosphere: "Wang Liu, do you know that you should be careful when speaking to others in the future? You have to thank Luo Ying for it."
At this time, Cui Hao also deliberately made a frightened statement: "I was so scared that I was so scared that I was fortunate that the person I asked you was not me, otherwise we would definitely be dead together."
"I almost died, are you still talking sarcastic?" Wang Han cursed angrily, but he was open-minded by nature and quickly threw away the annoyance. He frowned and looked at the middle-aged shepherd on the ground and asked, "Who are you, why are you trying to assassinate me?"
Although the middle-aged shepherd heard these people talking, he still said viciously: "You cannot be merchants, merchants, and they will not use precious horses to carry things, nor will there be so many people riding horses, and only horse thieves will have so many good horses and so many good players."
These words immediately stunned everyone. Especially Wang Han, he pointed at his nose with some reluctance and asked in annoyance: "You said horse thief? Do you actually think that I, Taiyuan Wang Ziyu, is a horse thief?"
Cui Hao just now sighed that Wang Han was almost plotted for no reason. He was really unlucky, but when he heard this reason, he finally burst into laughter uncontrollably, and even lie on the horse's back and patted his thighs exaggeratedly. Facing such a loyal companion, all Wang Han could do was glar at this guy hard, but Du Shiyi keenly noticed that the middle-aged shepherd suddenly raised his head, and a bit of unbelievable surprise appeared in his eyes.
This guy actually knows Wang Han
"Is it Wang Ziyu, the luminous cup of grape wine?"
This really made Wang Han, who had just been very depressed, feel even more happy. What made him even happier was that the other party immediately felt ashamed and said with a head of death: "I only saw that there were many people, and the attack on the Lord, I only thought that it was a horse thief who returned... I was willing to accept the crime of assassination, but now when Yunzhou is employed, I only hope that Wang Lang will allow me to make meritorious service."
These words were reasonable. Du Shiyi thought about the previous lyrics of Longshang Song, and he had concluded that this was definitely not an ordinary shepherd. Sure enough, Wang Han asked in surprise, "How did you know that I was a businessman in Yunzhou?" The shepherd replied readily: "I heard that Taiyuan Wang Ziyu was once highly valued by Zhang Xiangguo, and his articles and poems are famous. I think it must be the saint who sent Wang Lang to Yunzhou to comfort the people."
The only herdsmen in the border area knew their names. Wang Han's false alarm and anger just now had gone away, and he laughed out loud. After laughing, he said seriously: "Although you know me, you are a little ignorant. Zhang Prime Minister has already stopped his prime minister, and I have been moved to the left long ago. Now I am not me who came to Yunzhou to comfort the people, but Du Shijiu, and I am just here to join in the fun."
"Du Shijiu? Is Du Shijiulang, Du Ling, who took three heads?" The middle-aged shepherd suddenly felt that the young man twisting his arm behind him relaxed. He was surprised and panic for a moment. Finally, his eyes fell on the young man in white shirt in the middle. He suddenly paused again and said, "I'm really dead, but I didn't look at it carefully, and I almost hurt the noble man."
"Forget it, since it's just a false alarm, there's no need to mention it."
Wang Han rubbed his wrists and generously exposed the incident that almost killed him. Du Shiyi, who knew him best, was used to his attitude, but Cui Hao couldn't help but be amazed. As for the soldiers who were following the law, he was still an official from a family even if Wang Han resigned, and the charge of assassinating the official was quite a bit serious. Wang Han actually said that he would let him go?
"Since Wang Liu said so, get up." Du Shiyi gave an order. Seeing the middle-aged shepherd getting up, he asked, "Who are your surnames, where are you from, and where are you now?"
"A certain surname is Nan, famous scenic spot, originally from Weizhou, and has been in Longxi for a long time. Now he lives in Yunzhou City. Because he failed to farm, he still started his old business in Longyou and made a career in sheep." Nan Sheng said, and then raised his eyes and looked at the group quickly. If he thought that these people were too ostentatious as caravans, but as horse thieves, he was just a small group, then when he knew that this line was actually an official in the court, he felt that it was very suitable for his impression. Therefore, when Du Shiyi asked him about Princess Gu'an's recent situation again, he knew everything.
Compared with those royal daughters who were raised in the deep boudoir and did not know the sufferings of the people, Princess Gu'an was a concubine daughter. She had experienced the warmth and warmth of human nature and had married King Xi twice. Her understanding of people's plans and livelihood was far better than that of ordinary officials. In recent years in Yunzhou, she had a very good grasp of the people and a very good way to comfort the people. She even bought the grain grown by the people at a more reasonable price, exchanged horses from the Xi tribe and Khitan Turks, and provided the people with more necessary commodities through the convenience of the caravan. The most precious and indispensable one was salt.
Therefore, after she was injured in Mayi and returned to Yunzhou for two days, more than 20 young and strong men took the initiative to recruit and wait for the guard near Yunzhou City, and Nansheng was one of them. Although he was guarding the south of Shuozhou, he still did not relax his vigilance and almost killed Wang Han without saying anything.
After learning what he wanted to know, Du Shiyifu asked again: "How far is this place from Yunzhou?
"About thirty miles." Nan Sheng smiled silly, "In fact, if it weren't for the sake of your master, I wouldn't have driven the sheep so far to grazle."
Du Shiyi only felt that Nan Sheng was reckless but was a good man. He couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Then you never thought about slandering the sarcasm first, instead of assassinating so recklessly?"
"I am not very good at doing things with silence." Nan Sheng felt a little embarrassed, and thought about it and said the truth, "As long as I don't go back to report the news within two hours, I will know that there are horse thieves in Yunzhou City. My nephew, Nan Ba, is now recruited as the entourage of the noble master. Even if I make any mistakes, the noble master will never treat him badly."
"Nan Ba?" Du Shiyi was stunned at first, then couldn't help but take a light breath, "Your surname is the south, east, west, south, north, south?"
Nan Sheng was stunned for a moment, nodded strangely and said, "It's exactly."
Du Shiyi immediately raised his eyebrows thoughtfully. When he was a child, he was impressed by Liang Yusheng's "The Legend of the Tang Dynasty" and what impressed him the most was the sentence that evaluated Nan Jiyun.
