Qingzhou trip

Although Ganzhou Uyghurs are called "Uyghurs", the Uyghurs are not the only ones who "turn around like Uighurs". There are also Khotanese, Kucha, Shule, Sogdians, and Han Chinese here. Tubo people, Qiang people, and many descendants of the nine Zhaowu surnames.Lu Jinhua's family is rumored to be the descendants of the Lu Shui Hu people. There are many people in the family with tall noses and deep eyes. Her ancestor who has been hunting horses all the year round has many similar calibers: Whatever you are from, even my Lu family There's some blood in that.As far as the Huns and as close as the Uighurs, they are all brothers and sisters.If you want to join a gang to grab business routes, that would be great.

For the convenience of grabbing goods, Lu Jinhua's family has been proficient in multiple languages ​​since their ancestors.In Lu Jinhua's generation, the Central Plains official language is fluent, and the Beixia language can also fool people.As for the Tubo, Uyghur and Qiang languages, it is not a problem.However, the Lu family was able to compete at the borders of Uighur, Northern Xia, and Han people not because they could speak different languages, but because they were good at flattering people, accepting good things and running away when bad things happened.

In Lu Jinhua's grandfather's generation, the border changed color again.The Zhao family in Jiamaying, who were dressed in yellow robes, won the Han people. Two generations of emperors worked hard to rule, and they looked at the west from time to time and felt anxious.After decades of struggle, when Lu Jinhua was able to ride a horse and shoot arrows, the emperor of the Hua Dynasty sat on the chair for the fourth time.

Lu Jinhua led people to run and rob at the border for several years, and his name was like thunder on the Silk Road business road.She even dared to get her hands on the old coins given to Beixia by the Hua Dynasty, and offended the two countries in the east and the north at once.Given that her Lu family has strong soldiers and strong horses, there are more than ten thousand people.No matter which country doesn't want to pry this hard nail directly, it's best to recruit security and kiss instead.

The monarch of Beixia was over fifty years old, so he sent envoys to hire him, and Xu Lu Jinhua her father was an assassin, wanting to bring this army of border horse bandits into his arms, so as to help Beixia harass the Hua Dynasty from time to time, and Suici would distribute them one out of ten.

The father and daughter made up their accounts: every year they rob more than one out of ten goods, and they must be controlled by others and must not act lightly.What's more, when Lu Jin was asked to spend fifteen young years to marry the bad old man with a dozen wives, she drew her sword and sneered, "I won't do such a bad business."

It would be a good idea to ask, Lu Jinhua pointed at the sea of ​​sand on the sheepskin map, "Daughter of the Bai family."

When Lu Jinhua started out at the age of ten, people kept comparing her with the daughter of the Bai family who was a few years older than her: this Lu Jinhua led hundreds of people to rob a caravan and made a profit of a thousand taels of silver, while the white one The daughter of the family led a crowd to attack the Beixia Jingsai Army Division at night, forcing the Beixia Army, who committed extortion in the south, to retreat sixty miles.This Lu Jinhua beheaded the leader of the Tubo Jishi Army and robbed all the wheat.The daughter of the Bai family flew to Zhending Mansion, and fought a three-day bloody battle to solve the danger of the overturning of the west side of the Hua Dynasty.

Lu Jinhua is called "Lu's mother, the big bug" in business circles, and the Bai family's daughter is honored as "Shahai Bai Xiaoshuai" by the North and South.The more he heard and the more unconvinced he was, the more Lu Jinhua wanted to meet the daughter of the Bai family in person.

This year she just turned 14 years old, and led people to fight the autumn wind near Yanzhou, Hongzhou, Manguan and Shahai, and robbed many Huachao caravans in Beixia, but missed the last time: they robbed caravans and paid attention to waiting and cutting Cutting off the head and tail of a person, every time you use this trick, you can get a lot of money.But the Hua Dynasty caravan didn't panic at all when they cut and surrounded them. The leader of the black-clothed female leader aimed at the weakness of the southwest wing of the Lu Jinhua Department—no matter how strong the Lu Jinhua Department is, it has weaknesses. Most of the people are from farmers, equestrian skills are not strong, ejaculation skills are not strong, and the personal field is enough, and they are at a loss when they are suddenly violently interrupted.

The woman in black refused to let the caravan scatter, and everyone worked together to only push one side.She slashed, blocked and received stabs, with a graceful figure and a fierce fighting spirit, she threw off Lu Jinhua in less than half an hour.The goods are left behind, but they are just stones to fool people.Before leaving, the leader looked back at Lu Jinhua, with a fair oval face, extremely clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and the coquettish air in his whole body swayed from the corners of his lips, "It is worthwhile to see the Lu family's skills today. Little thing, we will meet later."

Everyone thought Lu Jinhua was angry. After all, the "mother worm" was well-known, so why was she ever treated as a "little thing"?Lu Jinhua also seemed to be angry, and regardless of the obstruction, he rode his horse to catch up, "What the hell are you?"

The woman in black immediately looked back, giving Lu Jinhua a deep look of pity, "You know."

Looking at their figures going away, Lu Jinhua suddenly understood, "Bai Zhi." After saying the name in a low voice, this person came to life from the hearsay, and his dark eyes got into his heart together. "See you later, I want you to look good!" Lu Jinhua shouted forward.

It has been almost a year since we met again, and there are rare visitors from Lu Jinhua's border village.A woman in black stood alone, holding her sword and smiling, "Shahai Baosheng Army Bai Zhi asked Master Lu Xiaozhai to show you something."

At this time, Lu Jinhua's father is already terminally ill, and his sons are more than brave and lack of strategy. The only one who can take on the responsibility of the family's prosperity is the young daughter Lu Jinhua.Bai Zhi brought a promise: Lu's border village is still preserved, and the Baosheng Army and Huachao allocate military pay and rations every year, but they are not allowed to disturb the border caravan.When people in the village were panicking, Father Lu agreed to the deal.

Bai Zhi also lived in the village for a few days, while discussing recruitment matters, she guided Lu Jinhua to march in formation and learned how to make use of strengths and avoid weaknesses.As the two get along gradually, Lu Jinhua fails to look good to Bai Zhi, but thinks that Bai Zhi is the one who looks good in everything.She did not hesitate to teach the art of war and sword, even her Bai family's shotgun method.Bai Zhi's eyebrows and eyes are as clear as a spring, of course she can see the flustered and soft heart of Lu's little bastard.

As Bai Zhi's return drew closer, she finally made her last promise: Lu Jinhua could bring some troops into the Baosheng Army, and Lu's family would have an extra place to go.

Everyone knows that Lu Jinhua went into the sea of ​​sand as a hostage and also to gain a future, but only Lu Jinhua knows who she is for.Lu's mother, who is good at settling accounts, has become a little thing in front of Bai Zhi, known as "Deputy General Lu".Deputy General Lu stayed in the Shahai Baosheng Army for a full twelve years. For the first five years, he followed Baizhi around Helan in the west, broke through the Man Pass in the north, beheaded the commander in chief of Beixia, and then went straight to Xiazhou.

Hu Feng started in spring and summer, and there was a lot of frost and snow in the place (quoted from "Book of the Later Han Biography of Women No. 70").The days of being in the Baosheng Army on the border were naturally not easy, but Lu Jinhua felt comfortable and fulfilled.In Shahai, it is common for women to join the army, and if they don't want to marry and live alone, they won't be blamed.It is the heart's desire for women to make contributions. Compared with being wives and mothers, women in Shahai are more willing to carry guns and ride horses.

Bai Zhi also fulfilled her promise, personally teaching Lu Jinhua to read and write essays, and taught him all the strategies of war.And the female Hu general with a high nose and deep eyes also learned to sew robes, make boots and wash her hands to make soup.She thought that fighting Bai Zhi would be her life's work, and that the Shroud of Horse Leather would be her and Bai Zhi's unique destiny.It is enough to be able to make one place in life, and to be able to bury one place in death.And her favorite scenery is the red willow in Lutan by the gurgling Yeqiang River. When she and the daughter of the Bai family ride horses side by side to look at the sunset, they have no other distractions and no redundant duties, and they just accompany each other quietly.

Bai Zhi pointed to the end of the Ye Qiang River and said, "The sea of ​​sand is still too small, and one day it will expand beyond the end of the Ye Qiang River and collect and reorganize all the border villages including your Lu family village. An Sheng, it is better to fight impermanently."

She would make fun of Lu Jinhua even when there was no one around, "Little thing, by then, would you rather stay in the sandy sea, or go back to the village to farm and herd?"

At that time, Lu Jinhua didn't have such a heart, so she asked Bai Zhi, "Where would you like to be?"

After Bai Zhi heard the words, she looked at her with mixed meanings, and finally it turned into a wry smile, "It should be right now."

A few months later, Lu Jinhua understood the bitterness in Bai Zhi's eyes: she is as unrestrained as a daughter of the Bai family, happy in the land of sand, and as she grows older, she has to bow her head to the court, trading marriage for the court's recognition.On the night of Bai Zhi's wedding, Lu Jinhua got drunk alone in Lutan.It's a pity that the Bai family's letter was wrong with Yun Fangjiang and the Privy Council, and the Baosheng Army fell into Yun Fangjiang's hands, and it would be difficult to get it back.

Lu Jinhua finally saw Bai Zhi's swollen abdomen four months later. Bai Zhi did not avoid her eyes. Publishing club, saving orphans, passing on the art of war.

On the day of Bai Zhi's delivery, Yun Fangjiang happened to be out, but Lu Jinhua did not avoid drinking this time. She watched Mrs. Wen come in and out, and guarded the door uneasily with her hands clutching the skirts of her clothes.

There was almost no sound in the room, except for the occasional sound of gasping and breathing.Lu Jinhua heard that women from other families would groan or scream when they could not bear the pain during childbirth. Worried about Bai Zhi's safety, she rushed into the room to see what was going on, and saw Bai Zhi with wet hair looking up at her, her eyebrows and eyes furrowed in pain, "Still going out?" His tone was extremely gentle.

"It hurts...just yell out." Lu Jinhua turned around and backed away panicked.

Bai Zhi let someone wipe her sweat for her, and replied behind Lu Jinhua, "Okay." Despite the answer, Bai Zhi did not shout out.Bai Zhi, whose silver teeth were almost broken, passed out when her daughter gave birth and cried out.

On the day A Lu was born, Lu Jinhua sent a longevity lock, and asked the frail Bai Zhi, "Is it painful to have a baby?" Bai Zhi just smiled and said nothing.

"Then why didn't you call out?" Lu Jinhua asked again.

Bai Zhi stretched out her hand to trim Lu Jinhua's hair, and with her cool fingertips, she shaved her face that was about to be ripened by wind, frost, rain and snow. She seemed angry and guilty, "You are outside." Lu Jinhua only twice.This is the first time.

Lu Jinhua laughed secretly in her heart that she was worthless, because this sentence almost forgave Bai Zhi.But he felt that he was too domineering. No matter how close the two of them were, no one would break through that relationship.

Lu Jinhua held the child as long as he could remember. She loved to tease the child's nose, with a look of unwillingness, "This place is not like your mother, and there is not as good as your mother." After teasing the child to almost three years old, Bai Zhi said to Lu Jinhua After making a plan, let her take her relatives and leave Shahai to take root in the border village. "I see the current situation of the Baosheng Army. They only have to be cut off to divide their lives. Yun Fangjiang is far from being handsome. In the future, if Shahai's daughter wants to have her own real life." To stand on the ground, you have to stand on your own." Bai Zhi was so cruel.

"Then are you willing to bring the child with me?" Lu Jinhua had known Bai Zhi for eight years before making the most straightforward invitation.

But this time, Bai Zhi was the only one who didn't give up, and she said, "I can't go. Maybe Lu'er can go in the future." She named her daughter "Lu", intending to add wings and freedom.It is true that she cannot go, and it is up to her to secretly adjust supplies and assist in the deployment of defense in Shahai. More importantly, she knows that her body is getting weaker and weaker, and she wants to spend a few more years with her daughter in Shahai while laying a solid foundation for the victory.This talk broke up badly.

The last time Lu Jinhua entered the sand sea when Bai Zhi was alive was when she was 27 years old. She didn't want to visit the mansion, but because she picked up a poor person at the foot of the auxiliary city wall. Bringing it to Bai Zhi, "I know you are short of people in Shahai, I think this child is available." After that, she was restless, wanting to spend more time with Bai Zhi in private, but couldn't bear to look at her more.

"In the future, I will be in the border village. It will be inconvenient for me to come and go, so I will send someone to deliver the letter." Lu Jinhua fled the sandy sea in a hurry, as if this could stop time and let the Bai Zhi of the year stay, and pretend not to see the early growth of Bai Zhi's temples white hair.

She didn't look carefully, the 30-year-old Bai Zhi had gloomy eyes, and he hesitated to speak while watching her back.

In the next few years, Bai Zhi's health became worse and worse, but she never mentioned it in the letter.In their letters, they talked about the situation on the border between Beixia and Uyghur, and about hoarding fields and preparing horses, but they never talked about the invitation that ended abruptly.

The last time Baizhi treated Lu Jinhua softly was in the letter six days before her death, "If the little thing is free, how about going to the deer beach to hunt together when the spring comes and the water rises?"

After Lu Jinhua received the letter, she tossed and turned all night, and finally couldn't help but led the horse and drove on the road without sleep for two days. She arrived at the bank of the Yeqiang River. , I was wondering, the mourning flute came to my ears.Go into the city and ask the guard who died?Even when they asked five people, they all said, "General Bai Zhibai is going."

The old watchman in Shahaidu sang the bangzi: By the thrush leaf Qiang, the plain clothes roll the sand cold.He bent his bow and shot at King Xia, and beheaded Li Lang with his blade.Repay the emperor with merit, and return to Luoyang with singing.Candle white dwells in the clouds, and Lan Zhi cannot be returned.

Angelica dahurica can't wait for the spring to come, let alone the flowers.

The woman dressed in black and smiling back is gone. The woman who has slashed the enemy commander and made great achievements in battle really can't hold the sword with her hands down. Could not keep the promise.Bai Zhi is halfway through her chess game, the situation in the sand sea is getting more and more complicated day by day, and the danger on the frontier is getting more and more dangerous day by day. She left this small town engraved with her name before she had time to truly display her ambition.

Lu Jinhua stayed in the city for seven full days, and it was inconvenient for her to show up at the funeral. She just mixed in the crowd and looked at the last side of Bai Zhi in the coffin from a distance. Is it sad, whether it is safe or not.

Old Bao Shengjun cried and mourned far and wide, Bai Zhi's only daughter, Alu, was still childish, her mother's face was covered with tears, she was supported by Xie Penglai when she was crying and trembling.Lu Jinhua stood there dumbfounded.

The clapper in Shahai City was being recited all the time, and Lu Jinhua listened to it in a daze for a whole day.It was night when I returned to Baoshengzhai, and after that I got cough.And she owed Bai Zhi the last time, so she guarded Baosheng Village for ten years and waited for a turnaround.

When Xie Penglai went to the village, Lu Jinhua knew that she did not wait in vain.
