1025 Replacing it
On the morning of October 20, the first year of Zhenlong, at the intersection of Neixi City, Jinguang Gate, Xicheng, Chang'an City, capital, there were many ox and mule carts parked across the street, several of which were parked at the gate of Qunxianfang in front of Jinguang Gate. Those who drove the car got up early and came at dawn. They shouted there early in the morning, shouting and shouting.
Wei An is the head of the Wei family in Bianyanshoufang, Xicheng City. Zhaowei and Du family are known as Jingzhao Weidu, and are the top wealthy family five feet away from Tianqi. Although the Wei family in Yanshoufang is a branch of Jingzhao Weishi, it is still not small. Even after years of war, it still retains a lot of style. Wei An, an elderly man in his fifties, hired these mule carriages early, preparing to send the Wei family out of the city to take refuge in the countryside. He was pumping
He watched the coachmen feeding animals with a paper roll of tea cigarettes, while making noises. From making fun of animals to the ancestors of animals, there was nothing to say, and they would make fun of themselves in a while. Wei An didn't know what these poor coachmen were happy about. He couldn't be happy anyway. He stayed in the Wei family all his life, and he was not bad in the early years. But since Emperor Yizong passed away, life in Chang'an in the capital has been difficult.
This was the third time that the Wei family had evacuated Chang'an with their family. The first time was when Huang Chao invaded Tongguan. The retreat was in a hurry and there was no time to bring many belongings with him. Several managers of the family pulled out a team of soldiers and escorted them to evacuate. That time, nothing was taken away except the people. The second time was not long after the official army recovered Chang'an, they followed the official army and the official army back to Chang'an from Fengxiang. But after staying for a few days, the troops in the vassal states in Chang'an City were in civil strife, and they fled again.
This is the third time, and the only thing that is slightly better is that it is not as panicked as the previous two times.
A mule driver said there: "In such a age, who knows if he can come back after catching this train?"
Wei An took a deep breath of tea cigarette. The tea cigarette rolled in white paper suddenly became bright and bright. The tea leaves mixed with mint and a small amount of traditional Chinese medicine turned around in his mouth, making his whole mind feel much refreshed. He reluctantly vomited out a sip of smoke, and tried to smile as kindly as possible, saying, "You can make a lot of money by catching this train, and you can buy a lot of food with this money."
The mule man took a few breaths of air with some envy, sucking the air with a little smoke mixed with the high-quality tea cigarette that Wei Ang had exhaled into his nose, and smacked his lips: "It seems that there is a lot of money, but now the rice shop in Chang'an has a long time ago, but it is worthless. Fighting rice in ten thousand yuan is a thief. These greedy grain merchants are hoarding, and they will make a fortune in refugees at this time. They are not afraid of having their lives to make money, and they are not afraid of having their lives to spend it. Hum, no matter how much money is greedy, Hum, what's the use of money when people die? Hum, the swords of the Sanchuan soldiers are not eye-catching, and they cut off their heads with one knife, and the heads are still falling to the ground, and the bowl is big scars. To be honest, if the Wei family had not agreed to pay this trip, and they would have given two more buckets of millet, who would have taken such a big risk to go out of the city? But what's the way? Money can be not made, but the family and young are waiting for dinner at home every day, so we always have to make some money outside."
Another mule man interrupted and said, "Who said it was not? However, once Sanchuan soldiers enter the city, this Chang'an City is probably difficult. Take me as an example, I am willing to leave here."
"Of course you are willing to leave. You are a bachelor, you have no father, no mother, no wife, no children, this big mule is your wife. This trip to the Wei family will not only allow food and drink on the road, but also earn two buckets of millet. You also have the opportunity to leave this place of trouble and lie in Fengxiang. How could you not be willing to do it? But our family can't just leave."
The rising sun burst out from the east. The red sun reflected the red half of the east sky, and the morning glow was brilliant.
The sun shines on the gate of the mansion, and the white dew light in the morning shines on the leaves of the huge locust tree. This is the Wei family's mansion. The vermilion gate at the gate and the tall door signs are magnificent everywhere. Although the Wei family has not yet gone to office for two generations, with the branches of the Wei family's family, and the experience of the old man of the Wei family as two local governors and one as the minister of the six ministries, the Wei family is still unattainable now.
At this time, the old man from the Wei family, who was in his seventies who had served as two governors and a minister, was sitting on a large soft chair under the front porch of the hall. Although the morning light was extremely gorgeous, the weather at the end of October was still extremely cold in the morning. However, although the old man was old, his body was very tough. He was wearing a large cotton wool, his hair was meticulously combed, and he tied a bun on his head. He was holding a lit cigar on his right finger, and was watching the morning light very relaxedly.
One of the grandsons of the old man was persuading anxiously: "Sir, when is it now? Why are you still so calm? Then Gao Renhou is about to enter the city, let's go quickly. The sixth uncle on the main house has agreed to my father and agree to let us go out of the city with their convoy. The seventh uncle of the main house will directly send a team of Shen Ce troops to escort us to Fengxiang. They don't wait for anyone, and if they waste time, we can't leave."
"I don't go anywhere, just stay here." The old man took a sip of a cigar, letting the smoke turn around in his mouth for a few times, and then spit it out again. He enjoyed this cigar made of precious medicinal materials such as precious tea and ginseng and antlers. He could take a few sips anytime and anywhere, refreshing and pleasant, and it could replenish some vitality. It was even more convenient than simply making tea and making tea. After retiring, when he was old, he escaped twice. The two bad escape experiences made it hard for the old man to forget. He was old and didn't want to run away again. Even if he died, he wanted to die in Chang'an and in Wei's Mansion.
Wei Yun, who is in his forties, is the old man's eldest grandson. After the old man, no one has ever been in office again. The old man's sons have no talent and will not be able to become a martial arts master. The old man simply refused to let them get involved in this circle again. With the Wei family's brand, the Wei family has the farms and shops passed down from their ancestors, and they have no worries about food and clothing. Over the years, the Wei family's head has long been replaced by the old man's eldest son, and the one who is actually running to the top and bottom is this eldest grandson.
Wei Yun jumped up suddenly and said anxiously: "My grandfather, everyone says that the officers and soldiers of Chang'an cannot be defended. Gao Renhou heard that he was the first general in Sanchuan and the most profitable person under Tian Lingzi. In the past few years, Sanchuan places made chaos several times, and the Yang Shili of Dongchuan was in chaos, but which one was not defeated by him quickly? This time he left the pass all the way from Dongchuan to the north, broke through Wu Pass, and went to Lantian, which was unstoppable. These Sanchuan soldiers were not kingly troops.
If they broke Chang'an, I'm afraid that burning, killing and looting will inevitably happen like Huang Chao entering Chang'an. It would be great that we would leave here early as the previous two times. Even if the courtyard of the mansion is destroyed, it will be destroyed. As long as people are there, what are you afraid of?" Wei Yun is nearly forty years old. He started a business with the Wei family's signature over the years. It has been very exciting. The Wei family has already established an industry in Fengxiang and even Lingwu in recent years, so it is considered as a precaution.
But the old man said lightly: "It's going to change."
Wei Yun looked at the sky with his head, and the morning glow in the east was everywhere. No matter how you look at it, it looked like a sunny day.
The old man continued: "A storm is coming. This will be a heavy rain that will sweep the earth. Chang'an will be shrouded. Even if you run to Fengxiang and Lingwu, you will still have to bear this rain. Since you have to get a heavy rain sooner or later, you can't avoid it, why run to the wild to get wet in the rain?"
Wei Yun was a little puzzled and looked at the old man in a daze.
The old man sighed and said, "One person was walking on the road. Suddenly, he encountered heavy rain and ran quickly. Halfway through, he met someone, but he was walking in the garden in the rain. Asked, it was heavy, run quickly. The man shook his head and said, "The wilderness is empty and there is nowhere to shelter from the rain. What's the difference between running quickly or walking slowly? After saying that, he continued to walk slowly in the rain regardless of the person."
"Sir, Grandfather, running around in the rain, is that common sense?"
"But that person is right, there is nowhere to shelter from the rain. Whether you run or walk slowly, you still have to get wet in the rain. Since that's the case, why bother?" The old man took a breath of smoke.
Wei Yun was stunned. He still didn't quite understand what his grandfather meant.
After a long time, the old man slowly said: "What do you think of King Li Jing of Qin?"
Wei Yun thought for a while, "Li Jing enjoyed a very high public heart in Guandong, especially in Shandong. He has no prestige and is a hero of the world!"
After hearing this, the old man shook his head, "Qin King Li Jing, a true hero from ancient times, and a king of all ages."
Wei Yun did not expect that the old man had such a high evaluation of Li Jing. He knew his old man well, which was a very experienced person. Whether it was Tian Lingzi, Yang Fuguang, or even the Supreme Emperor Li Yan, and Li Ye today, he had no good comments. However, he actually had such a high evaluation of Li Jing.
"Li Jing is a new king. He is going to create a new dynasty to replace the world of Li Tang, and will even surpass Li Tang in the future. Dalang, the times are changing, the black clouds are about to dissipate, and a new era is coming."
Wei Yun lowered his head and pondered.
"Sir, do you think Li Jing will have the world?"
"Yes, and this day is not far away, right in front of you. Yang Fugong is indeed not a rival to Gao Renhou, but Gao Renhou is just a general, but how can he fight against Li Jing, the king. Wolves fight against tigers, but when the real dragon comes out, all the beasts have to surrender. Yun'er, Li Jing has entered the pass, and even the four foreign vassal states such as Dingnan have been quickly defeated and surrendered. Let's ask, how can the two eunuchs Yang Fugong or Tian Lingzi be Li Jing's opponent? Or, the two brothers in the Li family can still turn the tide? The heavy rain is coming, and any action is just the final useless torture. Yun'er, our Wei family does not need to make trouble, just wait quietly for the arrival of this day. For our Wei family, this is sweet rain, not disaster, and there is no need to avoid!"
"But Li Jing is still far away by the Yellow River, but Gao Renhou is already at the city. I am afraid that the distance will not relieve the near thirst!"
The old man opened his eyelids, and his originally turbid eyes suddenly flashed two sharp lights. At this moment, Wei Yun thought he was dazzled. At this moment, the old man had no more than a little old lady Long Zhong, and he was extremely wise. "Gao Renhou was indeed a rare general in Shu, but the more he was, the more he understood the situation in front of him. Only those who know the current affairs are heroes. How could a general like Gao Renhou go all the way to the dark? Don't worry, the chaos will always end, and the moment when he sees the blue sky is coming!"
The old man said so confidently. Wei Yun thought for a moment, and finally nodded and decided to stay. However, he became more cautious and said goodbye and left, and went straight to his father's yard. In the end, most of the Wei family stayed, only seven or eight young children under the age of ten from the fourth generation of the Wei family, and finally, Uncle Wei Yun and the second uncle went to Fengxiang with the people from the master's family. The eggs cannot be kept in the same basket. This is a truth that Wei Yun learned in the mall after doing business.
In Tongzhou, Li Jing personally led 50,000 elite guards to the south. Chengcheng, Hexi and Heyang, north of Puyang Pass, were almost vulnerable to the defense line in front of this world's most powerful legion. Under the leadership of the Black Eagle Battle Flag, the guards rushed forward with a broken bamboo. They only took an hour to break Hexi City, and then half an hour to break Heyang City. Chengcheng, before they even arrived at the city, the defenders in the city had already taken the initiative to go out of the city to surrender. The Qin army took this defense line in a total of only one day. Most of the time was spent on marching on the road, and in fact, it took only one and a half hours to capture the three cities.
After the three vanguards of the Guards quickly captured the three cities, some of the troops left behind to stay in the three cities. Li Jing's army continued to move southward in a black and converged towards Wang Yanzhang and others in Fengyi City.
Far away, the outline of Fengyi City has appeared.
On the eve of Li Jing's army, Wang Yanzhang and other generals of the Western Expedition had bravely attacked and captured Fengyi City. For the soldiers of the Western Expedition, no matter how strong Fengyi City was, his highness could not personally lead his troops to help. They must take down this city before the King of Qin arrived.
Although he spent some more casualties and consumed some ammunition and arrows, Feng Yi was finally taken down. Although Li Quanzhong's son Li Kunwei was determined to defend himself, his soldiers and generals could not bear the extremely fierce offensive. Faced with huge casualties, they were eventually broken through.
The King of Qin was about to arrive, and the newly captured Fengyi City was also on high alert. Teams of Western Expedition soldiers with blood-stained robes took over the city as quickly as possible, and then cleared the inside and outside the city over and over again. The soldiers, regardless of their fatigue, were placed on the north side of the city gate ten miles north. The surrendered soldiers and prisoners in Fengyi City were all imprisoned in the prison camp outside the city. Even the people in the city were strictly stipulated that they could only welcome them twenty steps away from the street.
Among the Fengyi people who were asked to come out to greet His Highness from door to door, were carefully searched, and were asked to stand twenty steps outside the cordon to greet him, two young men with shaved heads and black matte leather robes, looked gentle and calm, but their eyes were bright and sharp as sharp, also stood in the crowd behind the soldiers and watched from afar.
The man in front was about forty, tall and strong, while the young man behind him looked sixteen or seventeen years old. He was also tall, strong and handsome, with clear edges on his cheeks and a beard that appeared slightly under his jaw.
The middle-aged man who seemed to be a young father approached the young man and asked in a low voice: "Langjun, what should I do?"
The young man stared at the black cavalry team that was constantly approaching in the distance, and smiled coldly: "It's better to meet by chance than to meet by chance. I didn't expect that I could meet him here, and it was just right!" While saying that, he clenched his fists in his sleeves.
"Langjun, be cautious. This is the territory of the Han people. If something goes wrong, we will never escape. The tribe is still waiting for us to exchange horses for weapons and equipment to fight the damn Uighurs in exchange for a place to settle in the grassland. If we reveal our identity here, not only will the Langjun be in danger, but our business may also be a waste. Langjun has always let us learn Han culture. There is a saying by the Han people that a gentleman takes revenge, and it will not be too late for ten years. A small unbearable situation will cause chaos. Our Khitan finally moved west to the foot of the Jinshan Mountain under the leadership of Langjun. What we need now is to establish a foothold under the Uighurs and the Khikas tribes, gather and recuperate, rather than breaking the Qin mermaids to the death!"
