Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 889 Man, Tofu

The bright moon shines on the surging water of the Yangtze River, and only pieces of silver scales are shining on the vast water surface.

Fujiwara Yoshino, whose alias is Sima Guanghai, couldn't sleep, got up in his clothes, went out of the cabin, and went to the deck of the ship. Looking at the two sides of the bank where only a rough outline could be vaguely seen under the dark night, a flash of light flashed across his face. deeply painful.

There were two personal guards behind him, these two Haidong wild Jurchen guards, one was stabbed in the chest and the other was stabbed in the waist, but they were very devoted to their duties, and at this time they still guarded him all the time.

It was not yet dawn at this time, but he knew that he had traveled upstream from Yangzhou and arrived in Jinling.

"The most dangerous place is the safest place."

This sentence is said to have come from Emperor Lu himself, and Fujiwara Yoshino agrees very much.He felt that no matter how powerful China's security department was, it would have been unexpected that he would quietly come to Jinling at this time.

Fujiwara Yoshino was 25 years old at the time, with a thin body, wearing a brocade robe, and coughing from time to time.Going back to five years ago, he was still a strong warrior, but five years was enough for him to become a traditional Chinese gentry, a scholar who looked like he couldn't lift his hands or resist.

Even the scorpion on his hand fell off.His hands are as white and tender as a woman's.

This ship is a dark chess piece he buried earlier, not because of the help of this ship, nor because of this chess piece. He and Jinwei Wenzhong have all died in the sky east of Taizhou along with the loyal guards around them. In the reeds.

The ship is a small cargo ship, which travels all over the country all the year round, and its main business is to transport salt.

Sima Guanghai has now turned into Zhao Ye, a small salt merchant.In this era of poor communication, as long as you have money and are willing to work hard, it is not difficult to get some real credentials.

The river wind in August was already a bit cold, but Fujiwara Yoshino didn't feel the cold at all, because a series of layouts in Yangzhou were wiped out by him because of a wrong decision, and the power in his hands was seriously damaged because of this. He can't even forgive himself.

It was a colossal failure, both for his duties and for those behind him.

The two wild Jurchen guards remained silent.Fujiwara Yoshino didn't know how long he stood outside, and when he came to his senses, half of his body was cold.

"Go back." He took a deep breath, and the cold air went straight into his lungs.Fujiwara Yoshino sniffled violently and sneezed.

The past cannot be forgotten. A true warrior must dare to face the bleak life.Besides, emptiness is form, form is emptiness, and rebirth in bliss is also a great good deed.

"...Since I got on the shore, I haven't had the feeling of riding a boat to break the waves for a long time. Compared with the vast ocean, the Yangtze River is only a small river, but now it's all water as far as I can see, which reminds me of the past. "

"The cabin is so cramped, what is there to miss? I just feel stuffy now. Some of the brothers' wounds are still worsening, and they have a fever, so they have to go ashore."

"What's the use of rushing? We're shady rats right now. It's up to the boss to make the decision. Just be patient!"

"You don't have to endure for long. From Yangzhou to Jinling, it's just a blink of an eye. You will be able to land after dawn."

The remaining guards in the cabin were whispering.

When Fujiwara Yoshino heard their voices, he didn't feel any emotion in his heart.Don't look at when they were chased by the security department before, they fought desperately. More than [-] people were killed or injured in exchange for him, Jinwei Wenzhong, and several other important people to escape.But in order to win over these people, how much did the forces behind him pay?
Everything is just an exchange.

As for the disrespect in these people's words, Fujiwara Yoshino laughed at himself.Now that he is running away from the lair with his remnants in such a dejected manner, and in such a mess, can't people be dissatisfied?
……

The strong north wind blowing from Siberia whizzed across the vast prairie on the northern shore of the endless Jinhu Lake, bringing a slight chill to people.

Jinhu is the Zhaisangbo of later generations. Because it is close to Altun Mountain in later generations, Emperor Lu named it Jinhu, and by the way, Yizhishui also changed its name to Jinjiang.

The name of Yizhishui is very strange to many people's ears, but its later name is familiar to countless people, that is, the Irtysh River.

Zaisangbo is a lake in the upper reaches of the Irtysh River.

This is the true northwest frontier of the Liao Kingdom, where the Nianbage tribe, also known as the Naiman tribe, lived.In history, Temujin was a strong opponent when he unified the prairie. At that time, the Great Khan of the Naiman tribe called himself the Sun Khan and had an army of [-].And the current Naiman tribe is a dog that the Liao people used to guard the door. Now that the owner has changed, it is still a dog.

The target of this dog's "house guard" is the Kepchak Khanate in the northwest, a grassland khanate that has just converted to monotheism.

They are part of the Turkic people, and the entire Khanate should be said to be a tribal alliance. A group composed of Mazar, Argen, Bulgar, Wusun, Alban-Yueban, Dulat five tribes, Geluolu, Yan'erat and other tribes, and later joined Jiuyin Naiman and Twelve Cross Cree and other tribes.

Facing the more well-organized oriental nomads, they are not very competitive, but they once caused the Kara Khanate a headache.Even the split of the Eastern and Western Kara Khanates has their share of strength.

After the Lu Qi Dynasty conquered Khitan, they naturally inherited the Khitan's legacy, and even took the initiative to send troops to the North Sea [Lake Baikal]. Just because that place was where Su Wu herded sheep, Emperor Lu felt that it could only belong to China.Even if an effective rule cannot be formed, a flag circle will be planted first to occupy it.Change the Orang there to be a vassal.

And the Kepchak Khanate naturally entered his field of vision.

At any rate, it is a khanate, more advanced than a real tribal alliance. Emperor Lu originally prepared a good opponent for the Kepchak Khanate.Huo Guogong Tian Hu.

However, the bird man was unwilling to stay there because he felt that the place was too bitter and cold.

So Tian Hu's Huo State became a country that still remained on paper. Emperor Lu lent the Ili area to Tian Hu to settle down, but obviously, it is impossible to really give Tian Hu the Ili River Valley. .Now King Tian is leading his army to advance towards the Ghaznavid Dynasty. This is the helper that Emperor Lu asked for Yelu Dashi, and it is also the place where Tian Hu will stand in the future.

The place in Afghanistan is very critical, and it is necessary to establish a feudal country.

On the north shore of Jinhu Lake, a black fortress stands impressively on the vast prairie, in stark contrast to the greenery on the side.

On the top of the city, a young officer was wrapping his hands and observing the surrounding situation with a stern gaze.If you don't observe carefully, it is difficult for people to connect this dark-skinned, sharp-eyed young man with Pei Yun, the eldest son of Pei Xuan, who walked through Mazhangtai in Yidu a few years ago and indulged in the brothel Chu Pavilion in Xianyang. .

Back then, Pei Yun was known as the "Little Marquis with Jade Face", with red lips and white teeth, and a face like a crown jade.

But he didn't expect the strong wind on the grassland to be so harsh. It took less than three years to not only blow away the remaining dandyism on Pei Yun's body, but also molded him into a real soldier.

Compared with the lively and bustling Yidu in Eight Streets and Nine Streets, life on the grasslands and in the army is undoubtedly boring.For more than two years, Pei Yun, who was stationed in Jinhu City, had never seen the golden gems like Jinling Wharf Mountain, nor did he know the craze for concubines and concubines that was being stirred up by the upper echelons of Lu Qi.Accompanying him are only the sky, the grassland, and the daily routine drills and patrols.

He has not returned to the Central Plains once in more than two years, and has never had any contact with his family except for writing a few letters home.He certainly felt guilty for not being able to show filial piety to his parents.But the peaceful atmosphere in Jinhu City made him feel even more anxious.

You know, from the very beginning, he never thought of being a 'manly man'.Going to the Martial Arts Academy to study is in keeping with the trend. At that time, the children of Lu Qi's nobles [civilian officials] mostly went to the Martial Arts Academy, but this is by no means the reason why he had the ambition to join the army since he was a child!
