Chapter 1240 A touch of bright red on the mountain road
Guan Qiuxing didn''t intend to attack Taoshan''s Xuegong at all, at least not before the capture of Pingyang, because it meant that he would be against the entire Bingbei, even a large area of ??gentry including Sanfuhe River.
Throughout the Han Dynasty, there was considerable respect and admiration for such facilities as the school palace. When Lin Zong opened the school palace in Bingbei, it can be said that he led the fashion trend for a long time, even when it was wet and sticky in the rain. The glued head scarf also became the latest way of wearing at that time, and it was popular in the north and south of the river.
Especially after the rise and fall of the official Taixue several times, private schools almost became the only place for the disciples of the gentry in the Han Dynasty to study. Moreover, the Academy not only accepts the children of aristocratic families, but also the auditors who do not have much money and power. Even the orthodox Taixue of the imperial court accepted the Huns and Qiangs who came here to study.
The academy is not only about studying classics, but also preparing for politics. This is a tradition that began in the Western Han Dynasty. What''s more, after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing and the original Taixue in Luoyang was burned down, many former Taixue disciples admired him. In the name of Cai Yong, he came to the school in Taoshan and studied again, which led to the fact that on Taoshan, not only students from different places in the north, but also students from all over the country, if Wu Qiuxing was good at using weapons, it would be no less than Naked and directly poked a hornet''s nest with a pole...
This is also the reason why most of the gentry''s children think that the school palace is not dangerous. Even the pre-Qin Dynasty, which had countless tyranny at the time, never sent troops to directly encircle and suppress the Jixia school palace, let alone the Yang''s army, which was originally a family of scriptures. To commit such atrocities?
As a result, it never occurred to him that Guan Qiuxing actually sent troops to surround Taoshan!
The act of encircling the mountain naturally attracted the attention of the academy. The students immediately gathered in front of the academy on the hillside, pointing and pointing. The soldiers of Guan Qiuxing shouted in a deep voice: "This is the Shoushan Academy, where only scriptures and books are kept, but no gold or silver! You and the others surrounded the mountain, humiliating the gentle and sages, so hurry up and disperse!"
Since Linghu Shao was in charge of offering wine in the academy, he has always been fair and strict, and encouraged to study. However, when some students asked for advice, they would do their best to teach them. Therefore, they were also respected by the students. Seeing Linghu Shao scolding The soldiers surrounding the mountain and the students following behind also spoke out to criticize.
Most of Guan Qiuxing''s soldiers were from Hongnong, and most of them could recognize the kind of characters these students blocked on the mountain road. After all, their clothes and appearance were different from ordinary people, so although Qumen was besieged, they were still He didn''t act rashly, even if he heard the accusations from Linghu Shao and the students, he lowered his eyebrows and pretended he didn''t hear it.
A troop of soldiers Xun Chen sent to guard the academy in advance also quickly gathered at the Qumen Mountain Road to confront Wu Qiuxing''s soldiers.
Not long after, Zheng Taishi calmly rode on a horse and arrived at the foot of Taoshan Mountain. Looking at the situation in front of him, he couldn''t help but smile slightly. He tapped the horsewhip in his palm, cleared his throat, and shouted loudly. Dao: "Conquering the west and bringing chaos to the north, overrunning the land and houses, using the mob and widows, not obeying the imperial edict, guarding profits by side edicts, invading the common people, amassing them as traitors, harassing and mean, stripping Li Yuan, demonizing and slandering, selecting the office Injustice, Gou''s love, obscuring the virtuous and favoring the obstinate, exchanging goods and bribes, circumcision and rectification, all conditions are treason! Now Yang Gong is clearly aware of the details, deeply understands the sufferings of the people in the north, and punishes the rebels, cuts down, and waits. Anyone who dares to block the imperial court''s majestic army is rebellious?"
Guan Qiuxing didn''t show up, so Zheng Tai came.
Although Zheng Tai knew that this was not a good job, but after all, he lost a game in Shanjin before, if he didn''t get some meritorious service to go back, his original bright future might be in vain. Another aspect is to find some places, so Zheng Tai did not refuse.
This time Zheng Tai prepared his drafts along the way and came prepared. Seeing that he was in a state of silence after drinking a lot, he couldn''t help but feel somewhat complacent, stroking his beard triumphantly.
Linghu Shao jumped up violently, pointed at Zheng Tai and shouted: "Who is the leader of the army? It''s you, a villain who caused the trouble! Conquering the West and recovering Baibo, where are you? Turning to the north, where are you? Crusade against Xianbei , Where are you? Guarding the Yin Mountain, where are you? People in the world call you talented, but you are proud of your wealth! The three government busses are levied, and the sound of steeds rises. Under the skirts of General He! When power is cunning, you are forced, you spend money and friends, you are unfaithful when serving as a king, and unrighteous when serving as a minister, what face do you have to bark like a dog here, and humiliate the saint''s gentleness!"
Others may not be very familiar with Zheng Tai, but although Linghu Shao has never entered the court, after all, the distance between the two counties is not far away, so they know something about it. For Zheng Tai, there is also a practice similar to using money to buy fame , Linghu Shao was very disdainful, and had a lot of discussions with Chang Lin and others, thinking that it completely insulted the reputation of the scriptures.
Therefore, after Linghu Shao met Zheng Tai, he didn''t need to be polite to Zheng Tai in public or private, and Linghu Shao was in the academy as a sacrificial wine in the academy. He gave Zheng Tai a good lesson.
Zheng Tai’s original manuscript was suddenly disrupted by Linghu Shao, and many words were blocked back, and he couldn’t find any words to refute for a while, after all, he knew his own affairs...
"Brave maniac! How dare you speak rebelliously! Hand over Zheng Xi''s posthumous son quickly! Your lives will be spared, if not, you will be a fan!" Zheng Taijian may not be able to speak better than Linghu Shao, Then he simply opened his hole card.
"Huh?" This time it was Linghu Shao''s turn to be dumbfounded, "...General Zhengxi...the posthumous son?"
Linghu Shao''s stunned expression fell into Zheng Tai''s eyes, and he confirmed his original guess, so he laughed and said, "It''s ridiculous! It''s ridiculous! You''re just studying the books of sages, but you don''t know that the master is shameless in order to cultivate himself. Self-marriage, female self-marriage, abolishing the rules, what a disgrace!"
"Shameless talk!" Linghu Shao jumped up.
If it is said that there are ordinary servants and maidservants in this academy, but they are all rough servants, if it is true that Zhengxi General Fei Qian likes these people, he would not believe it if he killed Linghu Shao, but there is only one person …
Zheng Tai said disdainfully: "Zhengxi is on the Taoshan Mountain, and the golden house hides the beauty, everyone knows! If you are not convinced, you can call the Cai family to confront it! The matter is now, what''s the use of covering up?"
"You spitting blood!" Naturally, Linghu Shao couldn''t go to the mountain to so-called questioning, and it was even more impossible to listen to Zheng Tai''s words to confront Cai Yan.
"Hmph!" Zheng Tai waved his hands triumphantly, and said, "Since you dare not, then you can ask yourself! Come and attack up the mountain, but if anyone obstructs, shoot and kill!"
Guan Qiuxing''s soldiers responded loudly, then formed a shield formation, and began to approach the mountain path step by step. The sword and shield hand in the front row raised the shield, advanced three steps forward, then put down the shield, slapped the surface of the shield with the saber, and shouted loudly at the same time: "Drink!" The following soldiers followed the rhythm of the shield soldiers, every three He paused for a while, and gradually entered Qumen.
When it comes to the scriptures, the children who are studying in the academy have never been afraid of anyone at all, but when they saw the real swords and guns approaching, who knew the danger was coming, someone suddenly turned around and ran away with a scream, and immediately caused a panic attack. There was a loud bang from the students who had gathered around to watch, and they all fled up the mountain.
"Stop them!" How could Linghu Shao let Zheng Tai lead the troops to rush to the school palace like this? He also immediately ordered, and the Zhengxi soldiers who stayed behind in Taoshan immediately blocked the way of Wuqiu Xing''s soldiers. Zuo Jin fought...
………………
"Do it? Good! Probe again and report again!" Guan Qiuxing waved his hand and told the scouts to retreat first, then sneered twice, and ordered, "Come here, gather soldiers, Chen Bing outside, if the city opens the door to send troops to rescue Taoshan, let''s go in with someone!"
The messenger responded loudly, and immediately the rumbling drums sounded, and groups of soldiers began to line up in Pingyang City, with banners unfurled and a great momentum.
Guan Qiuxing didn''t know whether what Zhao Shang said in the city was true or not, but after reading Zhao Shang''s analysis, he also felt that it was quite possible, so he might as well give it a try, if he really held the posthumous son of General Zhengxi in his hands If it is in the hands, it is tantamount to cutting off the last hope of the Zhengxi group, and Pingyang City can naturally win without a fight.
The current battle at Taoshan made Wu Qiuxing confirm the possibility Zhao Shang said...
In Wu Qiuxing''s view, if he has no guilt in his heart, why bother to arrange soldiers in Taoshan? Isn''t it just trying to cover up? If there is no personal relationship, it is enough to confront each other. If you are pregnant or not, you will know if you are pregnant or not, so why fight with soldiers? Isn''t it just asking for trouble?
Therefore, Guan Qiuxing immediately sent troops to Pingyang City, one is to block the soldiers that Pingyang City might send out, and the other is if Pingyang City opens the door to rescue, Wu Qiuxing will naturally have the opportunity to cover up and attack the city directly. Thirdly, if Zheng Tai really got the posthumous son of General Zhengxi, and he had to take it before the battle and threaten the city to open the door and surrender...
………………
The chaos at the foot of Taoshan Mountain naturally alarmed Cai Yong.
Cai Yong is also old now, and his body is naturally not as energetic as when he was revising the Xiping Stone Book, so many times the affairs of the academy are handed over to Linghu Shao.
Although he knew that Yang Biao had sent soldiers to Pingyang, Cai Yong also did not think that Yang Biao would be so frenzied that he would send troops to loot the academy. Do your soldiers ruin your family''s reputation?
Cai Yong even thought that the place of the school was safer than Pingyang City, so when the commotion started, Cai Yong didn''t think about it at all.
At the beginning, Cai Yong was in the courtyard, thinking that the students were arguing about something or some scripture, and he didn''t pay too much attention to it, but as time went by, the noise didn''t stop However, he put his hands behind his hands in some displeasure, and was discharged from the hospital to the academy to have a look.
As a result, he didn''t go far, and bumped into several school students head-on.
The academy student hurriedly bowed to Cai Yong, and then you looked at me and I looked at you, with an awkward expression on his face. Several people were discussing Zheng Taizhi''s words, when they bumped into Cai Yong, they didn''t know how to speak, so it was inevitable that some strange expressions would come out.
Cai Yong frowned, pointed at one of them, and asked what happened down the mountain.
The students named by Cai Yong had no choice but to falter about the matter...
After the student finished speaking, there was silence all around.
A few students bent down, lowered their heads, and looked at each other out of the corners of their eyes. Unaware of the situation, they secretly raised their heads to see Cai Yong''s face, but saw that Cai Yong''s face was flushed and angry, and he almost didn''t continue. He yelled loudly: "Shameless bastard! Disgrace my son''s reputation! This old man will not live with him!"
Speaking of Fei Qian and Cai Yan, in fact, Cai Yong also has some thoughts, otherwise he would not turn a blind eye to the relationship between Fei Qian and Cai Yan. When he was in an inferior position, Cai Yong couldn''t allow Cai Yan to give in, but in the blink of an eye, Fei Qian''s status suddenly increased, but Cai Yan''s status was not enough...
In the Han Dynasty, wives, Qi Ye, were equal to their husbands, from the emperor down to the common people, their righteousness was the same, and the concubine, received, and received at the right time, so if Cai Yan was made a concubine, it would be considered as killing Cai Yan Yong is also unwilling.
Therefore, Cai Yong has no good solution for this matter, so he just dragged it down, but Cai Yong believes that although there is some affection between Fei Qian and Cai Yan, they will definitely not engage in any adultery, let alone even if they are not He believed in Fei Qian, and Cai Yong also believed that his daughter would not do anything against ethics, so how could he not be angry when he heard Zheng Tai''s words of leading the army under Taoshan?
Cai Yong flicked his robe sleeves, and walked down the mountain angrily, ready to talk to Zheng Tai...
The fierce battle on the mountain road is in full swing, but the Zhengxi soldiers are condescending, and they have some advantages. After all, one is beheading and the other is beheading. Putting the shields on the ground of the mountain path, it would be difficult for Wu Qiuxing''s soldiers to cut down the Zhengxi soldiers who were at the top of the mountain path. Therefore, during the fight, Wu Qiuxing''s front row sword and shield fighters and pikemen occasionally appeared However, the front line of Zhengxi soldiers on the mountain road did not suffer too many casualties.
"Come on! Turn the fire up!" Zheng Tai was a little impatient, so he didn''t care about the possibility of accidentally injuring his own people, and ordered directly, "Cover and shoot! Defeat them!"
"Om!"
The arrow flew into the air, and immediately pierced towards the junction of the two sides!
The soldiers of Zhengxi did not expect that Zheng Tai, disregarding his own casualties, was unprepared for a while, and together with Wu Qiuxing''s soldiers, he was shot down a lot and fell down the mountain road...
"Master Cai! Don''t move forward, swords and guns have no eyes!" Linghu Shao was standing on the mountain road, but he saw Cai Yong approaching angrily, and went straight forward, so he hurried forward to stop him.
The old man Cai Yong was so angry that his gray beard trembled and he broke free from Linghu Shao''s hand. He walked forward and said angrily: "If I want to confront him, I will confront him! How can I insult my son''s reputation?" Sit and watch? Get out of the way! Get out of the way with the old man!"
Cai Yong yelled and pushed away the Zhengxi soldiers in front of him. Seeing that it was Cai Yong, the Zhengxi soldiers subconsciously retreated to the side of the mountain road to make way. However, Qiu Xing''s soldiers failed to see the changes above the mountain path, they were still attacking upwards, firing with bows...
"Om!"
Another wave of arrows fell from the sky, and Cai Yong, who was in the formation of Xixi soldiers, paused, and then a bright red suddenly appeared between his chest and abdomen, it was so dazzling!
Cai Yong only felt a pain in his chest, and then all the strength in his body was released, he swayed a few times, and then fell to the sky, his ears were buzzing as if there were many people supporting him and shouting in his ears, but I couldn''t hear myself at all.
As he was dying, Cai Yong raised his neck and tried his best to look up Taoshan Mountain and his small courtyard. It seemed that the pain in his chest and abdomen had been completely forgotten, and the only thing he cared about was his daughter. He murmured softly: "...my son... don''t be sentimental... I can''t see my son wearing a wedding dress... I''m sorry, I''m so..."
At this moment, the sky is blue.
The mountain road is green.
On the gray beard, there are bloodstains.
Among the mountains and mist, big sleeves are fluttering, but they can no longer ride the wind...
