Chapter 3 Advice to the mighty enemy(1/2)
After half a month, Zhang Yang missed the day and night with the hundred horses he served. He slept in the stables together at night and shepherded beside Sishui together during the day.
Zhang Yang knew that even the strategists and literati who rely on their brains to hold pens in troubled times were mostly practicing riding, shooting and fighting. When no one could care about them at critical moments, they had at least a little bit of self-protection ability.
Therefore, Zhang Yang began to use the half month to learn horse racing from a captive brother who was eating in a stable, and the price was to tell them some wonderful stories every night.
Zhang Yang knew that even the remote mountain villages in later generations were pitiful and stories and opera were very popular there.
Now the Han Dynasty is in a violent turmoil, and these miserys have lost their fields and destroyed their homes. One day after another, they have followed the large army to wander around the world. What bothers them is not only full of their stomachs, but also whether there is any pursuit of the government troops behind them, so they can't even have fun. After drinking and eating, they are a luxury for a group of people who dream about steamed buns.
Zhang Yang lives in an era of information explosion. There are so many useful and useless things you hear. Compared to these poor peasants who have never been out of the school several times in their lifetime, Zhang Yang is quite knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Zhang Yang picks up an interesting story and can listen to a joke, so they can be immersed in it. Of course, some dirty jokes with colors are the most popular.
Today's horses are basically naked, without the soles of the soles of the feet, nor are there any serious saddles, stirrups, and up and down the horse's backs, let alone riding on horseback?
Fortunately, Zhang Yang's storyline is very powerful every day, greatly filling the empty spiritual world of brothers and brothers. They are good people to prepare for the foundation and send Buddha to Xiaoxitian. They worked hard and struggled back to back for half a month. Zhang Yang gritted his teeth and finally could walk slowly on a horse alone.
When Zhang Yang told stories to others, he was not idle either. He learned about Wujiabao in detail. Only by knowing yourself and your opponent can you win every battle. To achieve your career, Wujiabao is a hurdle that you must overcome. Since you want to take a step, then take a step and don’t get into the ditch because of a slight negligence.
Wujiabao is a bandit who was recruited by the government a few years ago, but he did not listen to the news, and used official robbery to kill and loot. Killing and robbing was their main business, and killing the nearby Yellow Turban Army and obtaining captive coolies, food, grass and money was also a huge amount of extra money.
The Yellow Turban Army lacks everything, but there is no shortage of gold, silver and jewelry collected from various places when they confiscate their families and exterminate their clans. It is a group of local rich men who are hungry in Jinshan. Moreover, the Yellow Turban Army is a very migratory team. It may still be in Xuzhou today, but it may be in Yanzhou and Yuzhou tomorrow. After passing this village, there will be no store. Therefore, Wujiabao is very hard to kill the Yellow Turban Army.
However, with the strength of Wujiabao, it is only to pick up the weak Yellow Turban Army that falls behind. Wujiabao generally does not act rashly against those refugee troops that cost 100,000 or 200,000 yuan. They will stare at them like wolves, waiting for someone to fall behind, and then attack quickly and win with one blow.
Although the Yellow Turban Army has many factions and leaders, they are all disciples of the great wise and virtuous teachers of Taiping Dao. If someone suffers a loss and complains to the boss, they generally will not ignore it. Therefore, this is also the reason why every time Wujiabao goes to fight, all the prisoners who can work and those who are seriously injured are executed on the spot - to prevent other Yellow Turbans from knowing that this is done by Wujiabao, which will cause great trouble.
Wujiabao is under the rule of Tao Qian in Xuzhou, only twenty miles away from Xiaopei. It is the northwest gate of Xuzhou. Its geographical location is very important and it was the place where Liu Bei became rich later. It is backed by the Sishui River and the west side of Jiuli Mountain and Mangyang Mountain. It has mountains and water, and is a very nourishing place.
However, in troubled times, such a good place cannot be spared. Since there are vast mountains not far away, bandits and bandits flocked to each other and caused disasters everywhere, and the place gradually became deserted. The bandits in Jiuli Mountain are like leeks. No matter how the official army encircled and suppressed, they were not completely killed. One nest was destroyed, and two nests immediately emerged. Moreover, the key to destroying the Yellow Turban Army was Xuzhou, so in the end, they were left to the bandits here.
Wujiabao gradually grew stronger from a bunch of bandits by constantly reorganizing and engulfing other small groups of bandits. Later, Wu Na, a young lady who was a master, returned home. With her god-like skills and excellent military commander skills, Wujiabao soared into the sky and wiped out all the bandits from Jiuli Mountain in half a year, becoming the king of Jiuli Mountain.
However, Wu Na knew that such a chaotic world was a rare opportunity to make achievements and restore the glory of her ancestors. She was the best at this point as a bandit. If you want to have a better way out, you should accept the recruitment and obtain the official position. Then she fought everywhere, established military merits, and turned the family career to a higher level.
But Tao Qian was just a traditional scholar-official, and he valued a person's background and a person's reputation.
Wujiabao claimed to be the descendant of the military saint Wu Qi, but a few people believed it to be another story. Wu Qi and Sun Wu of his contemporaries were both called military saints, and they were both top military masters in Chinese history. Wu Qi's military achievements were stronger than Sun Wu, but Sun Wu wrote the everlasting "The Art of War" that has been admired by thousands of people, but Wu Qi left behind a terrifying reputation for all ages without shame.
Putting aside the merits and mistakes of ancestors, Wujiabao was born into a bandit, and many good and bad people have robbed and killed many bad people. Even if Wujiabao turns to justice and has strict military disciplines like the People's Liberation Army, as long as you work for a day, this stain will always hang above their heads. Never let the literati and noble literati accept you.
Xuzhou Yinfu, but his army was loose, and he was able to defend the city. He was defeated in the field. He was among the weakest princes in the world, and he was comparable to Kong Rong, Beihai. Therefore, Wujiabao's request for recruitment was granted permission, and he became the "court general" who used Xuzhou money and grain to kill the enemy for Xuzhou.
Wu Na's father Wu Lie was named General of the Anti-Empression. Although he was from the sixth rank, the court actually did not have the rank of General of the Anti-Empression in the book. This was just appointed by Tao Qian to appease Wujiabao himself. It can be said to be a miscellaneous brand among the miscellaneous brands.
Wu Lieben has three brothers, but the third brother went north when he was young. It has been almost twenty years since he was young and has not come back. Only Wu Na's second uncle Wu Yi and fourth uncle Wu You are left. Wu Yi is taciturn, steady in his work, and in charge of money and grain. Wu You is careless and sneering, and is a powerful general. They are the ones most respected by Wu Na, except Wu Na.
In addition, Wu Lie is in his forties, with only one wife and only one daughter of Wu Na. Rumors in the fort, the Wu family is very likely to recruit a son-in-law to help Wu Na protect the family business.
Wu Na has excellent martial arts skills and is also a beautiful beauty in thousands of miles away. I don’t know how many young men and descendants of a large family said that they don’t mind Wu Na’s identity as a “bandit” and are willing to take her as a concubine. Wu Na rolled her eyes and beat her out.
Last Mid-Autumn Festival, Wu Na set up a ring for herself in Wujiabao to compete for martial arts and attract marriage. Now there is no such poor scholars, so men from all walks of life who think they are somewhat capable come with longing. Looking at the beautiful woman in military uniforms on the stage, who is graceful and elegant and heroic, they feel that their bones are sore.
Comparing archery, fighting with empty hands, fighting with horse skills, and..., heroes from all walks of life lost so much. They all took the door without waiting to say hello and say goodbye. Since then, Wu Na's beauty and courage have spread, and no one has come to propose marriage again.
However, Tao Qian had a nephew named Tao Yu. His father Tao Lin was a member of the book of the book, and he was the master of the book of the book of the book of the book of the book of the book of the book of the book of the book of the book of the book of the book of the book of the book of the book of the book of the book of the book of the book of the book of the book of the book of the book of the book of the book of the book of the book of the book of the book of the book of the book of the
Since Wu Na and his father went to Xuzhou to receive reunion, Tao Yu was immediately shocked when he saw Wu Na sitting behind Wu Lie at the banquet. After the banquet, he begged his father to show his goodwill to Wu Lie and expressed his willingness to be a relative of children. From then on, military pay, weapons, horses and so on were opened to supply Wu Family Fort.
However, when Tao Lin, who could not resist his son, arrived drunk, Wu Lie had already taken Wu Na and rode out of Xuzhou City.
After that, Tao Yu, who was disappointed, brought a large number of gifts to Wujiabao to visit (Xuzhou City is no less than a hundred miles away from Wujiabao), and made some arrangements around, which was very favored by the mistress of Wujiabao. However, Wu Na looked down on the mediocre Tao Yu, and did not accept repeated advice from her family members, so she would take her troops to "go to the battle" and not come back for ten days and half a month. She would go with her family.
"There is an excellent shortcut to Zhongnan in front of me. If I can become a married little witch who makes people love and hate and become the son-in-law of Wujiabao, the hurdle of Wujiabao will naturally be crossed."
Moreover, the most anticipated one is the one she that you will never forget when you first see it.
At that time, he was innocent like a little girl who was ignorant of the world, smiling sweetly with his eyes and curved corners of his mouth and shallow dimples, making you unable to defend against her; sometimes he was very playful and thought of ways to tease Zhang Yang, making you funny and angry; sometimes he was deep and vicious, and he issued a massacre so that he could not blink, making you both hate and fear.
Various personalities and faces actually appear on a person, making her look like a mystery, making Zhang Yang unable to help but reveal it.
"Why are you so unpromising? You all want to marry into a wife and have a soft meal. She is not a white Snake, and I don't want to be Xu Xian! I am a man after all, and I don't want to change my name from Zhang Yang to Wu Zhang Yang. Otherwise, I will never have the face to see people in my life." Zhang Yang lay on the grass, crossing his legs, holding a dog-tail grass in his mouth, thinking to the blue sky.
At this moment, several men gathered around and sat on the ground with a smile: "Brother Liu (Zhang Yang is now Liu Yang), the horses are tied up, and nothing is going to happen. You can continue to tell us the story of yesterday, just say Qiao Feng fights Juxianzhuang!"
It turns out that Zhang Yang has been telling them about Jin Daxia's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" these days. The passionate Prince Duan, Duan Yu, who is as romantic as his father and infatuated as a father, Qiao Feng, who is proud of the sarcastic world with a bold move, Kang Min, Ma Dayuan, who is unwilling to harm his brothers, Murong Fu, who is not willing to use his best to restore the country, and beauties of all kinds of nature, so they are not allowed to admire, resent or fascinate.
"Okay!" Zhang Yang nodded, sat up from the ground, cleared his throat and began to talk about yesterday's progress: "Last time, Ah Zhu was seriously injured when he was stealing the "Yi Jin Jing" in Shaolin Temple. Qiao Feng hugged her and asked for medicine everywhere. All the doctors said that this girl was seriously injured and could do anything, so she would go to find Dr. Xue, and maybe she was saved. At this moment, the two heroes of the You family posted a hero post, summoning heroes from all over the world to gather in Juxianzhuang to discuss joining forces to eliminate Qiao Feng, a scum Khitan lackey in martial arts world. Dr. Xue also received the hero post and moved into Juxianzhuang. So Qiao Feng carried Ah Zhu to Juxianzhuang regardless of his personal safety—"
Zhang Yang's ups and downs tone made several people stun their eyes, and they looked at Zhang Yang intently.
"... Qiao Feng entrusted Azhu to take care of his good brother Bai Shijing, who had been born and died in the Beggars' Sect. He picked up a 50-pound wine jar, poured eighteen bowls of wine, and said loudly, "You all regard me as an enemy, and you all want to kill me quickly. And Qiao has had a lot of friendship with you over the years, and I am afraid that I can't start and kill you, so I won't be happy. Then we drink this bowl of wine, and from then on, the friendship of the past is wiped out. From now on, you are not affectionate to kill me, and I am not guilty of killing you... Come!" Zhang Yang couldn't help but stand up and spread his arms and said loudly.
"What?" several people asked hurriedly.
"Later--" Before Zhang Yang could continue, he heard a bad voice coming from behind: "Later--you are dead! You are punished not to eat today!"
Everyone was stunned and realized that Wu Na was standing here. Since there were all grassy horses, she hid behind a horse by the water, and they couldn't find it if they were completely trapped in the story world.
"Miss, we know we are wrong, so spare our life!" After saying that, the few people were so scared that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Zhang Yang naturally did not have this awareness. He saw that Wu Na's face was not very angry, but on the contrary, he was a little intoxicated. I guess she was eavesdropping just now.
"You - if you don't let go, you're wasting your time chatting, and if you did something wrong, you didn't kneel down and beg for mercy. I was very angry. Let me go with me and let you taste what it feels like to make a new torture instrument!" After saying that, she snorted coldly, shook the head of the horse whip and left without looking back.
Zhang Yang felt inexplicably confused, but good fortune is not a disaster, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided. So, let’s go with her.
"Let's talk about it next time!" Zhang Yang waved his hands to the people and hurriedly chased Wu Na.
Several people looked at Zhang Yang's departure with sympathy and sighed, "He may not be able to come back alive when he goes there. This lady is ruthless!"
"I can never hear such a good story..."
"I don't know who was framed by Qiao Feng, and I don't know who Duan Yu finally married?"
Lamenting for a while, one after another.
Two horses, one black and one red, the black horse carried Zhang Yang, and the red horse carried Wu Na, and the two walked slowly. The two walked together, without saying anything, and fell into silence for a moment.
"If I hadn't known that you had poor riding skills and would fall off a horse if you rode fast, I wouldn't have waited for you... But your story is pretty sloppy." Wu Na broke the silence and glanced at Zhang Yang.
"Thank you for your praise, Miss. I don't know what the lady plans to punish me after she goes back?" Zhang Yang said with a faint smile.
"Don't worry, I just scared you just now." Wu Na smiled with her lips pursed, and then said to Zhang Yang mysteriously, "Didn't you say last time that you asked me to give you a chance? You want to give me a surprise. Your chance is here!"
"What opportunity?!" Zhang Yang also felt moved and asked hurriedly.
"You also know that our Wujiabao said that it was a bandit, not a bandit, and it was an official army, but our army's discipline was very strict. Compared with those princes who not only suppress bandits but also ruin the people when they went to a place, the soldiers in our Wujiabao were more regular." Wu Na put away her smile, her face turned solemn and began to talk about serious matters.
"Um?"
"But these soldiers were still whistling in the mountains and forests a few years ago. Since we were incorporated by us, they had to restrain themselves a lot under our iron-blooded skills. But they pressed too tightly on weekdays and were too strict. Over time, they would be angry. If a roar broke out, it would be terrible. So--" Wu Na said with some concern.
"So, you want me to tell them stories, adjust their suppressed tense nerves, and turn potential dangers into shapes?" Zhang Yang immediately realized.
Wu Na looked at Zhang Yang in surprise and smiled in praise: "Your response is very fast, I am a book owner. As long as you tell the story well and they love to listen to it, I will be rewarded!"
"How to reward?" Zhang Yang asked with his eyes narrowed.
"At least you don't have to get up early and work hard every day but you can't eat enough. And I will give you a single bedroom, someone will help you wash your clothes, clean up your room, and deliver three meals a day to you. I'm very excited?" Wu Na looked at Zhang Yang charmingly with her beautiful eyes.
Zhang Yang shook his head, Wu Na looked at him with a smile, and said without threateningly: "You think it's too easy to put on horses every day, and want to find some key tasks. Well, I'll move the stones to me right away - from the quarry in the back mountain to Wujiabao!"
"I didn't mean that, I mean, I can do this, but it's a bit of useless." Zhang Yang said with a wry smile.
"This dynasty Chen Fan said, "How can you clean up the world if you don't clean a house? I don't know you, and I don't know if you have real talent and knowledge. Let's tell your story well. When I discover your other abilities, I will naturally promote you!" Wu Na refuted mercilessly.
"Then... OK, I hope you don't look at people with tinted glasses, look at my shining points, and don't stare at my shortcomings-" Zhang Yang said reluctantly.
So Zhang Yang suddenly became a well-known "learning man" in Wujiabao. He talked about the immortals and Buddhas in the heavens, and the demons in hell. He was far away from the ancient Nuwa created humans, Dayu controlled the flood, and nearly from the usurpation of Dong Zhuo, who were the heroes in the world; from the secret history of the emperor's prominent status to the trivial matters of family affairs. Zhang Yang knew it and couldn't speak out.
After dinner every day, Zhang Yang put a table and a chair on the platform of Wujiabao Schoolyard. The soldiers without tasks squeezed in the audience, squatting, standing, or sitting up, and then Zhang Yang cleared his throat and started talking in front of hundreds of people.
There is a backstage in the schoolyard, which is covered with green cloth curtains, and there are several tables and chairs inside. Wu Na will arrive on time as long as there is no major matter at night to support Zhang Yang. It’s just that Zhang Yang doesn’t know. So he knows that some of the plots with colors can be completely covered in one sentence, rather than to win the applause of all the big-headed soldiers.
So when he met Wu Na the next day, he looked at her vicious but shy expression, Zhang Yang was completely confused and didn't know where he offended her.
The effect of Zhangyang's storytelling is immediate. Although the soldiers are a little hard and tired, and may lose their lives on the battlefield at any time, they have Zhangyang or heart-wrenching stories that are so grand, or thought-provoking, their suppressed spirits have improved a lot. This is the credit for the construction of spiritual civilization.
Wu Na, who was solicited by Zhang Yang, agreed and accepted two apprentices, one was the fifteen-year-old captive Du Teng, and the other was the son of Wu Na's fourth uncle, her cousin Wu Ju.
Every day, I drink tea leisurely, just move my mouth and direct my two disciples to outline the stories I told, and then present them to Zhang Yang to revise. When I have nothing to do, I wander around and bring some delicious food to my brothers in the stables. Wherever I go, I will greet him enthusiastically and call him "Mr. Liu".
Sometimes, Wu Na's pair of twin maids, Xiaodie Xiaoe, who rarely appears, would come to Zhang Yang's residence to help Zhang Yang clean up the house, measure his body and add him a new clothes. Zhang Yang, who is doing everything, takes the opportunity to tease these two twin sisters who are as bright as the two walls of the pearl, until they run away with red faces and coquettishness.
Zhang Yang felt very helpful in such days, and Zhang Yang almost forgot his original goal.
However, such days ended soon.
"Wuwuwu--" The low and hoarse horn rang early in the morning. Zhang Yang suddenly woke up as he heard the messy outside, saying, "The enemy invaded?!"
Zhang Yang hurriedly put on his clothes, and mixed up with the soldiers who rushed to the city tower with swords and guns, ran all the way up the city wall, looked down, and couldn't help but take a breath: "This... how many people do you have to do!"
"No more, no less, a hundred thousand troops!" At this time, Wu Na, wearing armor and a sword and spear, said relaxed, but her face was low and terrifying.
Not only her, the two twin sisters were also wearing armor, holding a small waist knife, one left and one right guarding Wu Na.
"Nana, have the city walls been prepared in place?" At this time, a middle-aged man with a tall figure and big beard and wearing thick black armor walked towards Wu Na surrounded by a group of guards. He was Wu Lie, the owner of the Wu family fortress. In addition to the guards, there were Wu Na's second uncle Wu Yi and fourth uncle Wu You.
"Report to Dad, everything is ready, just wait for them to attack!" Wu Na said with a handsome and heroic voice.
"Mr. Liu, you are here too." Wu You glanced at Zhang Yang and said in surprise.
"Yes, everyone has the responsibility to defend their homes." Zhang Yang said with a dry smile.
"Let me listen to the people of Wujiabao. We are the vanguard general Guan Hai, the marshal of the Great Sage. You can forgive your crimes if you kill my brothers and sisters and take away my Great Sage's property! You should go out of the city quickly and surrender. Maybe there is still a way out. When you break the city, you will not be left!" A Yellow Turban Captain with armor in full armor rode on his horse and shouted to the top of the city.
To be continued...
