Chapter 394 Great Victory

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In early December of the 19th year of Jiajing's reign, the Ming army took advantage of the time when the defenders of Hulu Pass were changing their defenses. They attacked the pass with thousands of households in Longgang and defeated them in a single battle.  Diexi Qianhusuo, Chishui Qianhusuo, and Pingfan Qianhusuo enter from here, cutting off the road behind Baima Mountain.

    The Xia Army camp in Baima Mountain was shaken, and they mobilized their troops in an attempt to recover. However, they were attacked by the main force of the Ming Army, and they were immediately defeated.  At the same time, the Dao Sect gathered hundreds of monks to break the formation, and the main forces such as Xiaoshan Guard, Loushan Guard, and Baima Guard gradually succeeded. The Xia Army, which had been at a disadvantage in the past two years, could no longer hold on and was finally defeated across the board.

    In this battle, the Ming army beheaded 4,700 people and captured more than 10,000 Xia troops. They not only fully recovered the old territory of Baima Mountain, but also occupied Longbai, Chama, Qionghe and other places in the northwest of Baima Mountain, and destroyed hundreds of miles of red plain grassland.  Taking over more than half of it, they achieved the most glorious victory of Ming Dynasty over Xixia in fifty years.

    This time the Ye Xueguan meeting was held under such a background.  Zhao Ran was very helpless and could only express hehehe for his "ignorance".  Thinking of this, I couldn't help but complain to Mr. Kong County, for not even informing me about such a big matter.

    But when I thought about it, I realized that this was purely out of anger.  Maybe the county government only received the notice after the year?  It¡¯s normal not to inform yourself in time.  He is not a member of the government, whether he is a minister of Kong County or a lieutenant of Jin County, no one knows what he knows or does not know, and he has no obligation to inform him of everything.  Perhaps in the eyes of the county government, he must know.

    The news of the victory at Baima Mountain made Zhao Ran feel like he was in another world.  Counting from the time when he was escorted to Qingping Mountain and encountered the Xia army, the war at Baima Mountain has lasted for nearly eight years.  I don¡¯t know how many people died in the battle around Baima Mountain. In Wujiyuan alone, one deacon, five Taoist priests and more than ten firework lay practitioners died.

    After filling a glass of wine and pouring it on the ground, Zhao Ran paid homage to the dead Taoist friends from afar. Zhao Ran sighed with emotion for a long time and asked again: "Then this big meeting must be related to this?"

    Zhao Zhixing nodded: "Our major affairs in Sichuan Province have been suspended for seven years. This reopening is mainly for these things. We will reward meritorious deeds and punish guilty ones. You will know the day after tomorrow."

    Hearing that the rewards were meritorious, Zhao Ran was moved, but immediately felt discouraged.  He is a secret agent sent by Sanqing Pavilion. Even if he is rewarded, he will not be in public. What's more, his only upline is still in retreat, so so far, no one knows about his achievements - in fact, even he  I can¡¯t even figure it out myself.

    It¡¯s been one year and three months. Dongfang Li, you can tell me whether you are dead or alive. You are so unclear and there is no further explanation. You are a dead eunuch, I really hate you!

    Song Zhiyuan came back late at night and was carried to the house with the help of several small fire dwellers. He was so drunk that he didn't know what was going on.  When Zhao Ran saw this, he stopped disturbing him.

    The next morning, Zhao Ran walked outside Song Zhiyuan's house and heard loud snoring inside. He found that the jailer was still hungover. He shook his head and left the training office through the back door.

    Ye Xueguan has always been the southern support point of the Ming Dynasty's battlefield against the Xia Kingdom. After hundreds of years of construction, the regulations are quite grand. There is an outer city wall outside the inner city wall and tens of thousands of households. It has long been separated from the scope of the city.  Compared with Pingwu County, the seat of Long'an Prefecture, it is not inferior.

    In the inner city, there are many government offices, such as the governor's office, the promotion office, the Qianhu Office, the warehouse, the weapons supervisory office, the garrison eunuch's office, and the official post office. In addition, Zhao Ran also found a small temple, called Guancheng Temple, for worship.  It's the City God.

    As a fellow traveler, out of curiosity, Zhao Ran went in to pay homage and found that the temple was very small. There was only one small hall and six rooms in total. It was really not comparable to his own Junshan Temple, and it was not interesting to visit.  .

    After despising the Guancheng Temple and gaining a sense of superiority, Zhao Ran walked through the city cave and headed for the outer city.

    As soon as you enter the outer city, the atmosphere immediately becomes lively, with shops lined up and people flowing in.  Although it has been a month since the day of the great victory, the festive atmosphere remains undiminished. In addition, the Lantern Festival has just passed, so every door on the street is decorated with lights and colorful wedding couplets and Spring Festival couplets in red.  It was everywhere, and debris from firecrackers that was too late to be cleaned was piled at the end of alleyways.

    Zhao Ran couldn't remember how many years he hadn't gone shopping. Seeing such a prosperous scene, he slowed down unconsciously. He looked at the shops one by one and became childlike again. He took out some scattered coins and bought some.  Some small snacks such as candy, shortbread, chestnuts, etc., and eat while watching.

    Don¡¯t tell me, he actually found something interesting.  In a small shop that sells calligraphy and paintings, he unexpectedly saw a piece of calligraphy hanging high in the center of the wall, with the inscription Mountain Guest.

    After looking at the content, I didn¡¯t remember that I had written this Tang poem. When I looked at it carefully, I couldn¡¯t help but feel happy¡ªa high imitation, an absolute high imitation!  Don't tell me, the word description is quite similar.  After asking the store clerk, the man pretended to be mysterious and shook his four fingers at Zhao Ran:"This is the authentic work of a guest in the mountains. If the Taoist priest likes it, the little one can part with it."

    "What does four mean? How much silver is it?" Zhao Ran was slightly curious.

    Na Chaofeng whispered: "Four taels, never charge more!"

    "How many?"

    "Four taels!"

    "What's that? Did I hear it correctly? You only sell four taels of the original mountain guest? Do you know how much it costs?" Zhao Ran was a little angry.

    Nachao Feng smiled: "You can't even buy it at four hundred taels at the going price outside! But our store only charges four hundred taels."

    "Why is this?"

    "My master has a grudge against the mountain guest. He obtained many authentic works from him back then, so he deliberately suppressed him just to make him angry! Taoist priest, you are taking advantage!"

    What a weird reason, Zhao Ranxin said that if you believe it, you will encounter a ghost.

    Continuing to wander around, there was a lot of fun in the market life. Zhao Ran unknowingly walked around until noon. He looked up and saw a two-story restaurant, holding a banner of "Wang Mei". He didn't know what the food was like or how the wine tasted, so he wandered in.  Went in ready to try it.

    There are more than a dozen tables on the first floor of the restaurant, and many guests are already sitting there. They are talking animatedly, most of them commenting on the current war situation.  Zhao Ran found an empty table in the back, ordered two side dishes, and listened while eating.

    After listening for a while, I found that they were all just conjectures, which really made no sense, so I became impatient, finished eating in a few mouthfuls, and prepared to leave.  To be honest, the food and wine here are not very good, and they can barely fill your stomach.

    At this moment, two Taoist priests came in from the gate chatting and laughing, and were led directly to the second floor by the waiter.

    "Zhao Ran took a look and realized that they were really enemies of each other. Aren't these Dong Zhikun and Zhang Ze?

    After settling the bill with the restaurant, Zhao Ran also went up to the second floor.  There are seven or eight private rooms on the second floor, and Zhao Ran can tell which one the two people went to at a glance.

    Zhang Zezheng and Dong Zhikun joked: "This time it depends on how Zhao Zhiran escapes this disaster and delays the military plane. Hehe, he will have to shed his skin even if he doesn't die!"

    Dong Zhikun shook his head: "That's not entirely true. After all, he is still a monk in the pavilion. If we can drive him away from Guyang, we will be satisfied"

    As they were talking, a gust of wind blew the door open, and the two of them saw Zhao Ran passing by the door. As if they had seen a ghost, they suddenly opened their mouths and were speechless.

    Zhao Ran seemed to be full of surprise and said to Zhang Ze: "Brother Zhang, you are here too! I can get here this time thanks to my brother's help" Then he looked at Dong Zhikun in shock, said "Ah" and walked away.  .

    His acting skills were extremely poor, and he was immediately spotted by the two of them.  Zhang Ze said to Dong Zhikun: "Prison Court, he is deliberately sowing discord." Dong Zhikun said with a dark face: "Of course I know he is sowing discord, but I want to know, how could he be here?"
