Chapter 21 Chapter Twenty

Yun called Zhu Can farewell, mounted his horse with a gun, and hurried off to Taihang Mountain.Hearing the sound of the golden drum suddenly, shouting and killing, he thought to himself: Why are there soldiers and horses fighting here?So he walked up to the top of the mountain, looked down, and shouted: "It's not good!"These two are my brothers, why are they fighting here?That is to say, he ran down the mountain with his horse. The two were enjoying themselves when they saw a man on horseback coming down the mountain.Wu Tianxi recognized Yun Zhao, so he called out: Brother, come and help me.Xiong Kuohai also recognized Yun Zhao, and also called out: Brother, help me quickly.Yun Zhao said: "You two brothers, don't fight anymore, we are all one family, get off your horse quickly, I want to ask for clarification."After hearing this, the two got off their horses, Tianxi asked: "Why does my brother recognize him?"Yun Zhaodao: He is my sworn brother.I told him the reason why I met him hunting a tiger while hunting in Jinding Mountain the day before yesterday, so I became sworn brothers with him.Xiong Kuohai also asked: Why does my brother recognize him?Yun Zhaodao: He is my cousin Wu Tianxi.The two laughed together when they heard this, and each said: Offend!

Kuo Hai then invites Tianxi and Yunzhao to the cottage to sit down.The two agreed, got on their horses each, and led the minions from the two villages to get off their horses and sit down in the Juyi Hall in Taihang Mountain.Kuo Hai ordered wine to be served to meet the wind, so he asked Yun Zhao: "The day before yesterday, my brother said that he would turn to Nanyang and go to the court, and he had played in the imperial court, and he would be recruited soon."Why have I gone, and it will be half a year, and I haven't seen you yet?Yun Zhaodao: It's hard to describe in one word.After the father was killed, all the families were beheaded, and the wife was separated when the city fell, I told it in detail, and I didn't feel tears falling like rain.Kuo Hai said angrily: "Brother, please don't cry, wait for me to raise troops and go to recover Nanyang with my brother to avenge this."Tianxi said angrily: "The day before yesterday my brother sent Jiao Fang to get the rescuers. My brother came immediately, but was stopped by this black thief and killed me. I missed a big deal."It caused my brother's city to be destroyed and my sister-in-law to die. I hate it so much!Kuo Haidao: Don't blame me. When we met the day before yesterday, you should explain to me that I won't fight you for so many days.Naturally, it would be a pleasure to lead the army with you to rescue brother and capture Yuwen Chengdu!It's too late to complain now.Yun Zhao said, "You two brothers don't need to argue.It is also my fate, and it is in vain to say it!

At this time, I saw a minion coming to report: the banquet is complete.Kuo Hai invites two guests to the table, and the minion brings wine, and the three take turns to drink.Yun Zhao's face was full of sadness, and he couldn't eat.Kuo Haidao: "Brother, don't worry, wait for my younger brother and brother Tianxi. Tomorrow, I will help my elder brother to fight to Nanyang, kill Yuwen Chengdu, and regain the city."Tianxi said: "Brother Xiong is right, it's easy to leave tomorrow."Yun Zhao waved his hands and said: "You two brothers, you only know one of them, but not the other."In the old days when I guarded Nanyang, I had 100,000 soldiers and 100 generals, but I couldn't keep it.Now that the city has been lost and there are no soldiers and generals, although the second brother is brave, it will not be difficult to restore Nanyang!Tomorrow I will go to Hebei and join Li Zitong, king of Shouzhou.He has been in Hebei for a long time, has enough soldiers and food, stands up for himself, and refuses to accept the control of the Sui Dynasty.I am also close to my aunt, so I will borrow soldiers to take revenge.The two brothers can keep their village, recruit soldiers and buy horses, and accumulate grass and grain.Wait for brother Yu to borrow soldiers and go to revenge with the two brothers.Kuo Hai tried to persuade him again and again, but Yun Zhao just didn't listen.Kuo Haidao: "Since my brother is going to Hebei, when can I raise troops?"Yun Zhaodao: This is also an uncertain date, about one or two years!Kuo Haidao: Brother, just wait here.Yun Zhao said: "Thank you, brother."

On the next day, Yun Zhao said goodbye and got up, Tianxi accompanied him, and Kuo Hai sent him out of the pass.The two broke up and went to Tuoluo Village, where Jiao Fang followed.Tianxi asked Yunzhao to go to the mountain to rest his horse first, and had a very rich banquet.The next day, General Yunzhao went and ordered Jiao Fang to act as a man and horse in the mountains, and wait a year or two to raise troops together for revenge.After all, part with Tianxi and take the road. But it is said that Li Zitong sits in Shouzhou and is in charge of Hebei and other places. He has millions of soldiers and thousands of generals.One morning, after the two classes of civil and military troops had finished attending the court, they reported to the gate and said: "There is a general outside, with a single gun on a horse, and he claims that Wu Yun, the Marquis of Nanyang, has come to ask for an audience."Li Qiansui was overjoyed when he heard the news and said, "It turns out that my cousin is here, let him come in quickly."The subordinates lead the decree and come out to announce the progress.Yunzhao went to the hall and said: "Thousands of years old, the last general Nanyang Marquis Wu Yun summoned to see him."Li Qiansui asked the left and right to help him up, and asked: "Cousin, you are guarding Nanyang, why are you here?"Yun Zhao told about his father's murder and Yu Wencheng breaking Nanyang.When he finished speaking, he burst into tears.Li Qiansui said: "It's a pity that your family has undergone such a great change. It's just a matter of waiting for the lonely family to avenge you."Yun Zhao kowtowed and thanked.Gao Dacai, the military adviser, said: "The king is short of a marshal. Mr. Wu is here to agree with you, so he can take up this post."Li Qiansui was overjoyed, that is to say, he appointed Yunzhao as Grand Marshal, in charge of all the soldiers in Hebei, and Yunzhao thanked him.Since then, Wu Yunzhao has become the commander in Hebei, so I don't need to say this.

Besides, Yuwen broke through the west city in Chengdu and entered the commander's mansion. It was said that the anti minister escaped from the south city.Not long after, the sergeant heard that the marshal had fled and that there was no one in the army, so he surrendered in Kaesong.Han Qinhu and Xin Wenli all entered the commander-in-chief's mansion, but Du Shang's master and apprentice disappeared.Qinhu asked, "Where is the rebel minister now?"Chengdu said: "When the last general attacked the city, he had already opened the south city to escape. The last general thought that the south city was guarded by his master and apprentice, so he would be captured."After a while, Master Shang and his disciples came to the marshal's mansion to see the marshal, and asked the tiger, "Has the rebel minister captured it?"Master Shang said: "I never got it."Then he told about the chase and general Zhou Cang's appearance.Capturing the tiger said: It turns out that the number of cloud calls is endless, so there are gods to help.So he sent people to check the warehouse, point out the household registration, raise the horses for five days, and then sent the cannons back to the army.Chengdu said: Marshal, although Uncle Ma is guilty of missing the opportunity, he is not an opponent of the rebellion. I beg the Marshal to show him great kindness and release him from guilt.When Han Qinhu heard this, he ordered Ma Shumou to remain in the vanguard.If the uncle can let go, he will come to thank you.Qinhu ordered Shang Shuai to go back to Lintong Pass to guard, and Xin Wenli went back to Hongni Pass to guard.The two generals were ordered to take their troops back with them.

Han Qinhu commissioned officials to guard Nanyang and not allow the people to be harmed, so they returned to the court.The army and horses are mighty, and the flags cover the road. It is exactly: the sound of whips and golden stirrups, and the sound of triumphant songs.Walking to the outside of Chang'an City, capturing the tiger and ordering the three armies to camp in the teaching ground, they entered the city with Yuwen Chengdu and Ma Shumou.When he came to the gate of the court, when Emperor Yang had not yet retreated from the court, the officials of the Huangmen began to play: Han captured the tiger's victorious team and returned to the court, waiting for the order outside the gate.Emperor Yangdi ordered Xuan to come in, and Han Qinhu and others entered the hall and fell down. The mountain shouted long live, and delivered the Ping Nanyang Biao.Emperor Yang unfolded it and saw that Longyan was very happy, and he named Han Qinhu the King of Pingnan, Yuwen Chengdu as Marquis of Pingnan, and Ma Shumou as the governor of the capital.The rest of the soldiers will be rewarded for their deeds, and a Taiping banquet will be set up to bestow civil and military officials.He also issued a pardon and issued it to the world.Except for committing the ten most heinous crimes, treason and treason, which are not forgiven, the rest of the exiles, whipping sticks, etc., no matter whether they have been certified or not, whether they have been discovered or not, they are all forgiven.

As soon as the pardon was released, a big worm was released.He is a salt vagabond who is used to getting into trouble.The man was tall and strong, and he killed the arresting officer without selling private salt. The same officer pitied him for being a good man. He was accidentally injured during the trial and was imprisoned in prison.As soon as the letter of pardon arrived, he pardoned him.This person lives in a village in Licheng, Jinan Prefecture, Shandong Province. His name is Banjiu Town, his surname is Cheng, his name is Zhijie, and his name is Yaojin.Eight feet long, with a tiger body and dragon waist, a face like green mud, hair like cinnabar, and extraordinary courage.His father was Cheng Youde, who died young.My mother, Mrs. Cheng, lives with others and sticks to it.When he was seven years old, he studied with Qin Shubao's classmate, but he didn't know a single word when he came to university.Later, they grew up and scattered.Because there are a few rascals who go to sell private salt with him, he fights with others at every turn, and everyone is afraid of him, so they call him Cheng Huo.Unexpectedly, one day they bumped into a salt catcher, and they fought each other, biting the golden hair, and beat a patrol salt catcher to death.The government sent someone to arrest the murderer. He was afraid of causing trouble to others, so he stood up to the government, confessed to the murderer, and was charged with a serious crime.Ask Guan Lian that he is a straightforward man, and he has been in prison with a suspended sentence for three years.Whenever Emperor Yang amnesty the world, he is also in the amnesty.

One day, the prison door was wide open, and the prisoners went out one after another. Du Cheng Yaojin sat there in a daze, motionless.The forbidden son said: "Uncle Cheng, the imperial court has given me an amnesty. All the sinners have been exhausted, but what are you doing here?"When Yaojin heard the word "lai here", there was a disturbance, he became furious, and he rushed forward and swung his five fingers to beat him.All the prison chiefs knew that he was powerful, so they all came to persuade him.Biting the gold, he said: "Mother thief, if you want me to go out, you must invite me to drink, and I will not give up until I am drunk and full."Knowing that they couldn't resist him, those veteran cell bosses bought some wine and beef and treated him to eat as atonement.That Yaojin was thirsty, took the wine and meat, and ate it until he was in a tizzy, stood up and said: "We've finished the wine, let's go!"But our clothes are all torn, and our pussy is exposed, how can we meet people outside?Do you have clothes that you can borrow for us to wear?The forbidden son said: "This is a difficult question. We only have our clothes and are on duty every day. Where is the time?"Biting Jinhong's eyes, just want to fight.The forbidden son had no choice but to say: "There is only one piece of filial piety, which is a white cloth robe, a filial hat, and a linen headscarf. They are idle. If Master Cheng doesn't dislike them, we will take them out."Yao Jin said: We don't care about him now, you can take it out.The imprisoned son took the filial piety clothes and filial hat and handed them to Yaojin, who then put them on and ran out of the prison gate.Remembering his mother, he hurried to Ximen.I don't know how to go home to see my mother, let's listen to the next chapter.
