Chapter 10 Chapter 10: Encountering an old friend in the Thief's Cave Fortunately, I was able to get away and go for a walk. I saw the emperor in the hemp shoes, and then I went home to comfort my wife and children.

By the end of June, the water in Sanchuan receded.Du Fu pretended to be a poor man, dressed in tattered clothes, and rushed to Lingwu.He endured a lot of hardships on the road, and seeing that he was approaching Luziguan, which was more than 200 li away from Lingwu, Du Fu was captured by An Lushan's bandits, who put him on instruments of torture and escorted him to Luoyang. An Lushan treated the captives very cruelly. If he was willing to surrender to be a false official, it would be fine, otherwise he would be humiliated and beaten.Du Fu had already made up his mind not to surrender to the bandit, but later he couldn't stand it anymore, he felt that such a death would be useless, besides making up his mind not to be a fake official, he was also not as stubborn as when he was first captured, cursing the bandit willfully.This finally saved his life, but it was still difficult to escape.Every day, I hope that the officers and soldiers can recapture the two capitals and wipe out the enemy bandits.When he had the opportunity, he left the bandit camp, came out to visit a few acquaintances and friends, and observed the sufferings of the officials and the people during the chaos.During this period, many poems were written.At the end of March of the second year, he was about to fall into the bandits for a long time, but he couldn't escape, and he was in pain. Unexpectedly, the old leader Gong Xiangming, who had been captured by the army before, would be taken away by the bandits and became one of the bandits. name boss.Surprised to meet each other, tell each other what happened.

Du Fu saw that Xiang Ming was still as loyal to him as before, so he invited him to have a secret talk at night, secretly told him what was on his mind, and asked him to help him escape. Xiang Ming said: "This is easy. The leader of the small group of thieves guarding the master is originally my subordinate, and he has a very close friendship. I just need to persuade him, and it will be done." Thank you Du Fu. On the night of the third day, Xiang Ming said: "The matter has been settled. Many places on the way here are occupied by bandits. Without the guides issued by the enemy bandits, we will never be able to pass through. There is still danger." The little leader guarding Du Fu His name is Zeng Yi, and it has been agreed that he also has something to go to visit his brother in Lingwu area, not only agreeing to help Du Fu escape, but also agreeing with Xiang Ming to protect Du Fu on the way, so as not to be blocked on the way.Then he brought Zeng Yi to meet him.

Du Fu saw that the man was a strong man, although he was rough, he was not as vicious as other thieves, so he chatted with him for a while, and they were quite friendly.Xiang Ming suddenly said he had something to do and wanted to see a friend in Du Qu, so he resigned.Zeng Yi followed behind and got up with an excuse, and walked out together. Early the next morning, Xiang Ming carried a bedroll, and Zeng Yi came with a full set of rain gear and half a bag of dry food.Xiang Ming said: "There is still a long way to go to Lingwu. We still have to go for a few days, and we have to pass through many mountains on the way. It is raining now, not only bedding and luggage are indispensable! Rain gear and dry food must be prepared before we can go on the road. So I rushed back to Du Qu’s house yesterday, walked in through the window, and saw a ready-made quilt on the bed, and a bag of luggage beside it, which contained rain gear and half a bag of dry food. , the three of them ate something casually and got up immediately.Slip out of the golden light gate and rush to Fengxiang.

Du Fu inspected the situation all the way, and ordered Zeng Yi to inquire about the military situation from the bandit army, and learned a lot of facts.One day when I was passing by Qingban, I heard Zeng Yi say, "There are many Tang soldiers and horses, and they fought against the rebel army at Chentao. The Tang army was defeated, and the general in command was the new Prime Minister Fang Guan." Follow his news.This time, although the Tang army suffered a big defeat, he was very angry, but he was also very happy to think that Fang Guan had actually become the prime minister and had the military power.Going further, he was stopped by bandit soldiers for interrogation, and was almost caught again. Thanks to Zeng Yi accompanying him and carrying the bandit badge, nothing happened.Like this, after going through many dangers, I had to rush to Fengxiang.

At this time, Fang Guan was imprisoned because of his defeat.As soon as Du Fu arrived, he went to see him.At this time, all the courtiers Suzong who escaped from the bandit army were given to the officials, and they treated each other very well.After Du Fu arrived, he reported the situation among the thieves face to face.Suzong was very happy, so he awarded him Zuo Shiyi, and also gave him some rewards.Du Fu went to see Fangguan, but he didn't see him.I heard that the imperial court was very angry because of his loss of soldiers and generals, and I am afraid that he will have to convict him.Du Fu cared about his good friend, he was worried at first, but then he remembered that Zhang Hao, the next prime minister, was deeply trusted by the court, and he was also a famous person specially sent by the Supreme Emperor, why not go to him first to have a try?On the second day, I tidied up my clothes and went to the prime minister's mansion to seek an audience.Although Zhang Hao and Du Fu talked quite speculatively, but Zhifangguan had boasted before this time when he sent troops, but he suffered a series of disastrous defeats and was killed by the bandits without returning.The imperial court was very angry and had to deal with it strictly.I pleaded on his behalf, but I had already been reprimanded, and if it was invalid, I advised Du Fu to be cautious, and said: "You are a soft-spoken person, you'd better keep your mind on your own business. When I see an opportunity, I will do my best for him, so that I can avoid severe punishment."

Du Fu knew that he was telling the truth, so he had to thank him again and again and leave.When I got back to the residence, it was my friend who loved me so much, I couldn't let him go no matter what.In a moment of excitement, I wrote an essay on Bao Zou Fang Guan.The general idea is: "Fang Guan is versatile in both civil and military affairs, and everyone expects it. You can't blame him for the defeat this time. The country's employing people should take advantage of their strengths, especially when your majesty is employing people in ZTE, you should not lightly dismiss ministers for this small crime. .”

Suzong was furious when he saw the expression, and issued an edict to the third division to ask questions.Du Fu was still in danger, but finally Zhang Hao tried his best to intercede on his behalf, and told Suzong: "Although Du Fu speaks fiercely, he really has good intentions. If he causes crimes because of this, no one will dare to speak out in the future." Suzong finally calmed down. Take back your life. After Du Fu got the news, he went to see Emperor Suzong to thank him. When they met, he spoke on behalf of Fang Guan, saying: "Fang Guan offended this time mainly because he favored Dong Tinglan, a poor, sick and ignorant old piano player. Although Yi Zong knew Fang Guan Fang Guan didn’t know about it, and received bribes, and it had nothing to do with Fang Guan. I hope His Majesty will give you a detailed lesson, forgive him for his innocence, and still order him to be an official in the court.

Suzong became more and more angry when he heard this.He became bored with Du Fu.It was also said that Du Fu's family was in Luzhan Prefecture, and because he was too poor, the youngest son starved to death. Therefore, for this reason, Du Fu was allowed to visit his home in that state and gave him some holidays.After Du Fu thanked him, he got up immediately. Fengxiang is close to which state, but he arrived in just two days.It was three miles away from Qiang Village, and seeing that they were not far from home, they suddenly saw a strong man driving an ox cart full of mud and dung coming towards him.Taking a closer look, it was Xiang Ming.Why did he come here?Xiang Ming said that he missed his mistress and Zongwen and Zongwu.I first heard that Fengxian was in Fengxian, and I was rushed by Fengxiang.When I asked later, I found out that Yang's mother and son had moved to Qiang Village the month before last.Xiang Ming asked the way and rushed there immediately.Because the field needs to be fertilized after the autumn harvest, I went to the depression early in the morning to dig out some sludge and transport it back to prepare to fertilize the field for farming.The two said and did it, and they were walking along the ditch. After walking for a while, they met Liu Zhuang walking opposite him.When they met, they said to Zhenfu: "Last night, the mistress had a dystocia. With the help of the neighbor's wife, she gave birth to twins. The twins gave birth to a son and a daughter. Unexpectedly, when the master came back, it was double happiness." Then he said: "A visitor from afar came the day before yesterday. , is Du Fu’s nephew Wang Bing, who has stayed in Qiang Village for two days, and is planning to go to Baishui tomorrow to meet his uncle Cui Xiang.” Du Fu and Wang Bing grew up together, and they haven’t seen each other for many years. .While walking, a boy riding a horse with a sword suddenly came galloping.Looking closer, it was Wang Bing.Because of Yang's postpartum abdominal pain, she came out to seek medical treatment, let Du Fu ride the horse, and went to ask the doctor with Liu Zhuang without mentioning it.

Du Fu and Xiang Ming drove the ox cart together and arrived at Qiang Village in a short while.Suddenly hearing the sound of chickens flying, Xiang Ming said with a smile: "Xiao Zhi is hunting chickens again, let me have a look!" After saying that, he ran away.Du Fu pulled the ox cart to the front of his house and looked inside through the bamboo fence. Zong Wen and Zong Wu's two sons were chasing chickens with bamboo poles in their hands.Xiang Ming climbed in from the side, shouting urgently: "Er Niang!" Du Fu slapped the chai gate twice, and just shouted: "Quickly open!" Xiang Ming had already pulled the chai gate open.Zong Wu opened his small hands first and shouted urgently: "Father!" and rushed forward.Du Fu then hugged him in his arms.Zong Wen hugged his thigh tightly and shouted urgently: "Mom, Dad is back!"

Du Fu rushed to the inner room, seeing Yang's description of being thin, he felt sore, and hurried to the bed. The husband and wife tightened their hands and looked at each other for a while.Yang asked: "Hello!" Before the voice came out, two lines of painful tears had flowed down.Du Fu hurriedly said: "After this chaos, it's a good thing to be able to meet again. You just gave birth to a child and your body is weak. Let's talk about the parting slowly. I'll go and see those two children!" Yang said with a smile: "These two little villains are so good-looking, but they were born in a difficult life, and they almost didn't hurt me to death!" As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Sun and Liu Zhuang had invited the doctor.Du Fu asked the doctor to sit inside, showed Yang's pulse, and prescribed some medicine, saying: "The medicine has been brought, and there are also pills for postpartum care in the medicine box, just take it!" Open the medicine box and hand the medicine to Du Fu.Du Fu asked Xiang Ming to fetch hot water, and took the medicine and Yang Shi.Because of Wang Bing's new arrival, Du Fu saw that there were chickens in the house, so he just entertained guests.When Fang wanted to speak, Yang smiled and said, "It's not easy for you to come so far, don't worry, let Xiang Ming and the others prepare to go, and simply invite the two neighbors to thank them for their daily care."

Du Fu looked up and saw that there were many people outside the bamboo fence looking around, pointing to his side, whispering to each other, some were still sighing and weeping, moaning.Seeing that Mrs. Yang was already crying like tears, she knew that it was not easy for her to support her family, but she also cared about her husband's safety. When they met suddenly, there was an unexpected accident, so she was very happy and sad, so she hurriedly comforted her with good words: "I have been facing danger all the time. Ji, and this time I went to Fengxiang to see the emperor, and I was appointed as the official of Zuo Shiyi, and I will return to Beijing with him soon, and the future is very promising." Knowing that her husband and wife are in love, Yang didn't want to be sad, so she could only endure the grief, smile through tears, and let Xiang Ming and the others go to the kitchen to prepare wine and food, and meet her husband. After a while, the four neighbors came to express their condolences, each serving wine and food.Du Fu received it in the house and thanked him again and again.The neighbors all said: "The taste of wine this year is not as good as last year, because there is no one to cultivate the millet land, and all the young men in the family have served in the military. .” Du Fu then told everyone: "The officers and soldiers often win battles, and they will regain lost ground soon." The neighbor was very happy when he heard the words, so he wanted to resign.Yang's family was staying with his neighbor Weng to drink with him, when Sun Zai suddenly came to him and said, "I just met Zeng Yi on the way, and then I found out that Du Fu's new appointment is Zuo Shiyi. I was ordered to go home to visit, and I will return to Chang'an soon, so I came to visit." After Du Fu moved to Qiang Village, Sun Zai took care of many things. After saying a few words of thanks, he asked him to drink with him.He also said that after staying at home for a few more days, he would return to Fengxiang and drive back to Xijing with the emperor's car.Ask Sun Zai what his plan is. Sun Zai said with a smile: "Little brother, it will be difficult to live here for a long time. After this year, I will move back." After talking for a while, he said goodbye.Du Fu sent him away, and came back to discuss with Yang, planning to send his family back first, and tidy up Du Qu's house and the few acres of land so that he can live in peace.Yang thought about it, and felt that there were more people going back at this time, so it was easy to arrange, so she said: "I know you miss home, and my mother and son go back first. However, you have just entered the court as an official, and you have been valued by the emperor. Take good care of it so as not to delay your future. In my opinion, you are already an admonishing official, so it is reasonable to always be in front of the emperor. It is best to turn around Fengxiang, wait for the car to drive back to Beijing, and follow first. Take my mother and son, Xiang Ming and Liu Wouldn't it be better for Zhuang to stay here as a way to retreat?" Du Fu refused to listen and insisted on returning to Chang'an.After talking for a while, it was finally agreed that the whole family should return.The rural real estate was entrusted to Sun Zai for management.Xiang Ming.Zeng Yi stayed in the area to farm, and only brought Liu Zhuang back with him. On the third day, Yang Yan, Yang's cousin, came to visit, and everyone discussed the matter again.Yang Yan also urged Du Fu's family to return to Beijing, and only entrusted Sun Zai with the house and fields in Qiang Village.It is better for the husband and wife to live together as a family and not to disperse, and said: "Although the Hu thieves have retreated, there are still many thieves scattered in all directions. Also this time the Pingkou used external force. Looting, leaving with a full load. It is hard to guarantee that this will not be a harm to the future. Wouldn’t it be good to leave the house in Qiang Village and make a step back in the future? After your husband and wife leave, I will often come to take care of you, don’t worry.” Du Fu and his wife felt that what they said was reasonable, so they agreed.Originally wanted to keep Xiang Ming and Liu Zhuang in the local area to look after the house, Yang Yan said with a smile: "No need, you need to hire someone when you go back, it's best to go all the way, don't be scattered." Yang also felt that Du Qu's fields had to be prepared for spring plowing, and the lack of people would not help, so the whole family returned home together.Then I got the news that the emperor will return to Beijing soon.Du Fu hurried to Fengxiang, asked Ming's car to start in October, and came back again.Xiang Ming, Liu Zhuang, Zeng Yi, and Wang Ping escorted Yang's mother and son first, and then Du Fu rushed to Fengxiang to accompany them.In a flash, in mid-October, Suzong led the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty to return to Chang'an.Of course Du Fu was among them, and nothing happened all the way.After arriving in Beijing, I rushed to Du Qu's house to see that Mrs. Yang had arrived early.With the help of Xiang Ming, Liu Zhuang, etc., not only the housework is arranged in an orderly manner, but also all the spring wheat is planted. I am very happy, and I visit relatives, friends and colleagues in and out of the city.At first, I thought that the chaos was over, and I was already an official in the court, and I would get better and better from now on, but I didn't know that things would not go as expected.First of all, I heard people say that there was a severe drought in those years, and the harvest in the fields was not good, and there was a fear of spring famine.Then it rained for more than a month, and even the spring plowing was hindered.In addition, the remnants and thieves left behind after the retreat of the bandits, and the stragglers who were defeated and fleeing from the government and army gathered together in the mountains and wilds, and from time to time they ganged up in groups to loot their homes and do harm to the people. Pearls pay for osmanthus, and the people are in dire straits, which is much more severe than the disasters in Tianbao's thirteen or fourteen years.The unlucky years that must follow this soldier gradually made it impossible for the poet to stay any longer. The return of Du Fu's family to Beijing was originally an event between Li Heng (Suzong) and Deyuan Zai at the end of September. ①Shortly after arriving home, Sun Zai’s family also moved back.He served under Du Fu's court.Zuo Shiyi, who was appointed as Zuo Shiyi, was also an official of the royal court's literary attendants. Most of his colleagues in the two academies (Zhongshu. The two provinces under his sect) were scholars and celebrities at that time.Although Du Fu heard people say that the spring famine must be severe in Guanfu, because Yang and Xiang Ming had already made some plans, they didn't pay much attention to it.In addition, there are many bureaucrats and friends, who return poetry and wine every day, so ignore the past.Unexpectedly, the famine was too severe back then, coupled with bandits and riots, and the price of goods was rising day by day, Du Fu only had a limited number of acres of Susukida, and the food he planted had not yet grown.Life was difficult, but until August, the second year of Zhide, the thief An Qingxu suddenly summoned his father An Lushan's old generals Shi Siming, Zhang Tongru, An Shouzhong and others to divide his troops into chaos.Shi Siming and others went to invade Taiyuan, Hedong and other places, and ordered Zhang Tongru to be the commander of the bandits, and then committed a crime in Xijing.The military situation is getting tighter, and the officials and people in Chang'an are flustered and ready to flee.Du Fu gradually became anxious.After struggling for two months, the news was urgent and it was not easy to make a living, so I invited relatives and friends together to discuss with each other.Mrs. Yang remembered what Yang Yan said before. Fortunately, there was still a home and a few acres of land in Qiang Village, Luzhan Prefecture. Praise, I urge Du Fu to leave quickly.Then he was ordered by the imperial court, Du Fu was transferred from Zuo Shiyi to Huazhou Sigong to join the army, and he was urged to take up the post immediately. Du Fu was helpless, so he had to take the order to go on the road, bid farewell to his family, relatives and friends, and rushed to Huazhou.At first I didn't plan to come back at that time, but because the military situation was too urgent, I couldn't rest assured, so I had to take a small road and rush back to Duqu. I still planned to send Yang's mother and son to some state, and I still went to Baishui by detour through Jinguangmen. Just two days after walking, it began to rain.That year, the spring was cold and heavy, but the rain kept falling and it didn't stop for more than ten days in a row.There are eight or nine people in Du Fu's family, including Xiang Ming, and there are only two old umbrellas, which are not enough. When they come at night, they find a big tree, and even the elders sit with small umbrellas, with the soles of their feet on the cement.The most difficult thing is that I don't bring much dry food, and my children eat as much as they do. They eat up all the food on the way, so that everyone has nothing to eat.Under the hunger and cold, braving the cold rain and cold wind, running between the mountains and fields, it is really extremely bitter.It was like this for more than ten days.After finally struggling to reach the border of Pengya County, he walked into the Baishui Mountains, and calculated the journey to go for two or three days before he could arrive at the home of his fellow Wa Sunzai to rest.Staying for a day or two before going to Qiang Village can reduce a lot of suffering.Unexpectedly, the mountain road is rugged, windy and rainy, and it is very difficult to walk.The most difficult thing is not to eat.Du Fu had no choice but to work with Xiang Ming to dig some grass roots and wild fruits, acorn chestnuts and bitter plums along the way, barely satisfying his hunger.These things are bitter and astringent, and some are so spicy that they cannot be eaten. Adults can barely bear it, and a few children cry when they eat it.Although Zhuang Fu was sad, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and endure, and continued to move forward. 『①Du Fu returned to Chang'an with his family and entourage, Suzong, in October of the second year of Zhide. The following also contradicts the historical facts, which seems to be caused by the author's serious illness and forgetfulness. ——Scholar One day, when I walked into a valley, the whole family sat on a big bluestone, thinking of the hard journey, Du Fu suddenly felt a great pain in his left hand, as if he was being bitten by something, the pain was unbearable.Touching it with his backhand, he touched a handful of hair, which was very soft.Looking down, under the moonlight, the one who is biting her finger and holding on is her newborn daughter, Fengzi. Her clothes are already soaked, her face is dripping with rain, and she hugs her in her arms coldly.He smiled and asked, "Why does this kid bite?" Fengzi blurted out, "I'm hungry!" Du Fu asked again with gentle words, only to find out that his daughter was very hungry and cold, accidentally touched Du Fu's warm fingers, mistook it for dry food, and took a bite.In Du Fu's room, Fengzi couldn't help being frightened, and burst into tears.Du Fu just picked her up and sat on the mat, when suddenly Xiang Ming shouted in a low voice: "I can't cry, listen!" Then, he heard the roar of wild beasts from a distance.Du Fu knew that there were tigers, wolves and other ferocious beasts on the road, and it would be dangerous if the cries were heard, so he hugged his beloved daughter tightly, and shouted in a low voice: "Don't cry, baby, the tiger is coming!" Fengzi cried, "I'm hungry!" and struggled wildly with his hands and feet.Zong Wu hurriedly handed over a bitter plum!He said with a smile, "Sister, don't cry, look at me eating this." After that, he chewed a few mouthfuls, swallowed it, and asked Yang for it. Fengzi cried: "I don't want to eat this, it's too bitter!" Pang Li Xiangming looked pitiful, and hurriedly took out a piece of dried beef that had been hidden by his side for several days, tore a bit and stuffed it in Fengzi's mouth, and coaxed her a few more words before he stopped crying. Du Fu made up his mind, and the rain suddenly became heavy again.After a while, the whole family, young and old, were drenched in water.The mountain wind blew past and shivered from the cold.In the end, we had no choice but to sit back on the cold rainwater stone, hoping for the dawn so that we could go on our way.It was a dreadfully dark day.Sitting in the middle of the night, I didn't make any sense at all.Du Fu and Yang Shi also became hungry.While being relatively sad and crying about his pain, Xiang Ming suddenly ran over, holding two wheat cakes in his hand, and said with a smile, "Master, don't worry, we are saved!" Then, two lights appeared in the distance in the rainy field.Looking forward, the two people who came here were overjoyed, Du Fu was so happy that he wanted to jump, he rushed forward, hugged the previous one, and shouted that he would not let him go. It turned out that the first one was my good friend Sun Zai, who also apologized because of the famine, so he invited his neighbors to pick mountain grains and lived in the house of an acquaintance from the mountains.It was a hunter, and because he heard wolves howling, he asked him to help him hunt wolves. He happened to meet Xiang Ming in the rainy field. After talking for a while, he learned that Du Fu's whole family had come here and was suffering, so he came here to greet him, and said that he lived in the same family. It is not far from the northeast, and the distance is less than three miles, so we can go together at that time, so as not to endure hunger and cold here.Du Fu and Yang thank you again and again.Just as he was about to talk a few more words, Sun Zai suddenly said that something was going on at home, so he said goodbye in a hurry and went their separate ways. Du Fu first thought about going to Sun's house at dawn, but when he saw that Yang's mother and son were suffering from hunger and cold, Xiang Ming urged him to get up again, and they went on the road together.It took two miles to walk along the mountain road, and the calculation was about to arrive. Sun Zaiye had already made an appointment with two neighbors, and took torches and rain gear to greet them. It was dawn.When I walked to the door of Sun's house and saw that there were neighbors and friends invited by Sun Zai from the inside to the outside to help, each holding a torch to light up, and according to the custom at that time, a note calling for the soul was pasted on the door.The grandson's wife, Zhang, was also driven out, and Du Fu's family was brought in.Du Fu and his wife saw that there were several wooden tile basins on the ground, which were already filled with hot water, so the host asked him to wash his hands and feet, and at the same time, the table was also filled with tea, rice, wine and vegetables. Sun Zai called his sleeping children to meet the guests. Tongyi had dinner and arranged a sleeping place for guests, and the whole family was in a hurry. Du Fu and his wife saw that the host was kind and attentive, and since they were close friends, it was inconvenient to say more, so they sat down together after a few words of thanks.Sun Zai brought Xiang Ming and all the neighbors over to have a drink together. There were so many guests and hosts, they all had a good time and had a very happy conversation. Early the next morning, Liu Zhuang came to visit first, followed by Yang Yan to visit the girl.Speaking of the thieves' strength, Fengxiang was surrounded. Fortunately, King Guangping (Li Shu) was in charge of the local area. His subordinates Cui Guangyuan and Sima Wang Bolun were all brave generals. Not caught in the hands of thieves.Moreover, the officers and soldiers often won battles and captured a large number of people, and the people were not corrupted.However, Chang'an in Xijing was attacked by the thief commander Zhang Tongru, An Shouzhong and others a few days ago.The emperor ran west again covered in dust, rushing to Fengxiang.Du Fu's family came at the right time, otherwise, Baishui, Fengxian and other places would be captured by bandits sooner or later, which would be more dangerous than Chang'an.When Du Fu heard that there were so many difficulties in all directions, he was worried and anxious.Unexpectedly, the good news also came. First, Shuofang Army Jiedu envoy Guo Ziyi and others defeated the rebels in Hedong.Followed by Cui Guangyuan and Wang Bolun, they won consecutive victories, forcing the bandit soldiers to stand still, set fire to the camp automatically, and the whole army fled.Cui Guangyuan took advantage of the victory to pursue and killed many people.Immediately after, King Guangping led several Jiedu envoys from Shuofang, together with his 150,000 Han troops, rushed to Xijing to kill the enemy.The army is very strong, and it is estimated that Chang'an will be recovered soon.Du Fu was happy after hearing this.Every day, I look forward to the early news and regain the lost ground, so that the whole family can move back to Chang'an and serve in the court.In mid-September, King Guangping led Fanbing from the Western Regions back to Hokura, joined forces with the envoys of Shuofang to join Chang'an, and fought against the bandit general Anshouzhong in the north of Xiangji Temple. They won a complete victory and beheaded more than 60,000 people.The bandit commander Zhang Tongru led his troops out of the city to fight, and was defeated by Gong Bolun and others. In the end, he couldn't resist, so he led the remnant bandits and fled to Shan County.The capital was rescued and the news came. Of course Du Fu was happy and determined to rush back to Chang'an. After discussing with Cui Xu, Yang Yan, Sun Zai and others, he got up and rushed to Chang'an. At this time, although the rebel soldiers retreated, the road was not very peaceful, and after a lot of hardships, they reluctantly returned to Du Qu's house.When he was in court, he learned that his friend Fang Guan, the prime minister, was dismissed and that he was going to convict him. Du Fu was so indignant that he wrote a letter to rescue him, saying: "Fang Guan is talented. At this time, the chaos is just in the midst of chaos. When he is employing people, the court should not dismiss him." Minister." Last year, Du Fu displeased Su Zong because of Fang Guan's speech.Fang Guan was also dismissed and left as the prefect of Binzhou.Du Fu was regarded as Fang Guan's henchman, so he didn't mention it. After Du Fu returned to Beijing, he was still Zuo Shiyi, and went to the door every day to save Chengzhi, and the friends and bureaucrats he had made before were together again.The most gratifying thing is that my good friend Cen Shen is newly appointed as Youbumon, and he works in the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China. We meet each other on a daily basis, and enjoy writing and drinking together, and the official salary is quite enough.It is said that the life is very good, but after the second chaos, Guanfu caused a famine, which was worse than the last time, and because the Fang Party was jealous of the time, he still served as a minister in Huazhou not long after he came to power. After half a year in Huazhou, Du Fu became bored.This day, I suddenly felt homesick, and wanted to go back to Luoyang to visit his post-war hometown in my spare time. I walked east alone with a small luggage roll on my back.Passing through Tongguan Road, you can see that there are cliffs and rock walls on both sides, which are very high.When I climbed up, I saw that the way I came from was a valley, and Tongguan was not far ahead.There are cliffs and peaks along the way, and there are black spots flickering everywhere up and down the mountain. You can hear the noise of shouts and the sound of breaking the mountain and hitting rocks, and the echo of the empty valley is very ear-splitting.When they got down, they walked a few steps forward, and then heard the sound of cars, horses and pedestrians galloping and yelling again and again.Stopping to look, there are many mules, horses and ox carts loaded with stones coming from behind, and there are many people in groups of three or five, carrying large and small rocks, and yelling past with heavy loads.All of them were so tired that they were out of breath, and the sweat dripped from their heads, as if they were exhausted and exhausted.The strangest thing is that there are several elderly women among them.Going further, I saw a lot of people digging into the mountains to fetch rocks. There were simple thatched huts on the ground. There were people of all ages, and the food they ate was very rough.After asking people, they found that there were grass roots and bark mixed in, and some of them were starving and sick, lying in the shed, moaning endlessly.A leading official was going to and fro for inspection, shouting and cursing at the crowd from time to time.Du Fu recalled: "Since Ge Shuhan was defeated by the bandits of Anlu Mountain and Tongguan fell, the courtiers wanted to build Tongguan. Tired and good people suffer!" He pulled the official aside and asked him why? The official said: "Since our army was defeated in the first battle of Anyang, Guo Jiedu decided to build a city to guard against bandits. Because of the bad times, the nineteen people who built the city were all generals, and there were not many civilians who were requisitioned. And because of our army's food Insufficient, the young and strong men who are serving must bring their own dry food, followed by the whole family who are reluctant to part with their relatives, making these peasants not only excavate mountains to take stones to build the city, but also dig grass roots and bark everywhere, so they are all so miserable and weak. " Du Fu was so indignant when he heard this, he first went to the pass to inspect the situation carefully for a while, then borrowed a pen and paper from someone in front of him, and wrote the first chapter of his famous work "Three Officials" - "Tongguan Officials". Du Fu heard rumors that Longxi was in a better place and it was easy to ask for food, so he discussed with his family and took the whole family to the west.The intention is to settle down as long as you find a place where you can eat a little bit without worrying about food.When I first went to Qinzhou, I searched for several places, and wanted to build a thatched cottage in Xizhi Village to live temporarily, but failed.After staying for a few days, he went west again.All the way up the mountain and over the water, suffering from bumps and bumps, barely reached Tonggu County, so I had to stop and rest.However, food and clothing are still difficult for the whole family, and they always wanted to cultivate two acres of Susukida by themselves, but they failed in the end.Forced to do so, on December 1, the second year of Qianyuan, he traveled westward from Longyou again, intending to escape famine in Chengdu.In the end, we trudged around and dragged the family to Jianmen and walked up the plank road into Sichuan.It took another two months, even after many arduous journeys, to reach Dudu.Finally, Yan Wu misses the past and treats each other very well.Soon, with the help of Yan Wu, he managed a thatched cottage on the Huanhua River outside the west gate of Chengdu, and bought a few acres of land before he settled down.Sometimes and walk around the nearby counties.If there is nothing to do in daily life, I will communicate with the local field husbands and elders, expecting rain and sunshine, and talking about mulberry and hemp together, but I feel at ease.Yan Wu also went to Huanhuaxi to visit him several times.Sometimes Du Fu was taken to live at home for a few days.Originally they got along very well, but the host and guest have a small temper and can't accommodate things, and the other has a fierce temperament.On the surface, they are affectionate and affectionate, no different from flesh and blood, but because Du Fu is too brief, careless, and too blunt, sometimes Yan Wu can't bear it, and he gets angry in his heart.The two also like to make fun of each other, and they often talk stiffly, embarrassing each other, and there is no sympathy in their hearts.It's just that neither of them broke out. In the first year of Daizong Baoying, Yan Wu was summoned to return to the court, and Du Fu sent him to Mianzhou to say goodbye.Du Fu said: "I am married according to others, and I live in peace only with the help and care of my brother. Once Ji Ying left, I was homeless again." Yan Wu saw that there were tears on his face and a miserable expression when he said it, and he couldn't bear it, so he took Du Fu's hand and smiled and said: "I really hate to leave this land of abundance, I will try to come back after I go now, we will meet again soon, Why feel uncomfortable? As for Brother Zimei’s future life, I have already thought up a good idea for you, and wrote a letter to Zhang Yi, the governor of Zizhou, and asked him to take care of him. After I leave, you can go to Zizhou to see him and have a talk. See how it goes, and make up your own mind. I don't think there will be any mistakes." The follower took the letter and handed it to Du Fu. Seeing that the letter was written very sincerely, Du Fu thanked him immediately.After returning to Chengdu for a few days, he went to Zizhou to see Zhang Yi.Yan Wu's letter was written very forcefully at the beginning, and Zhang Yi would not ignore it, but Zhang Yi and Wu were rough, and the two sides did not agree with each other, and because of Yan Wu's sternness, he had scolded him before, and he was unhappy, so he didn't care much for Du Fu. preferential treatment.Du Fu soon took his family back, because they didn't speculate with each other, the whole family moved to Jianzhou again, where they lived for half a year, poor, depressed, and unhappy.I was suffering, and suddenly got a reward. Yan Wu will be in Xishu again, and he will return to his post soon.I was very happy at that time, and moved back to Chengdu to wait.In March of the second year of Guangde, Yan Wu returned to Chengdu as expected, and put Du Fu on the table to protect Du Fu as the staff officer of the festival and the member of the Ministry of Calibration and Industry, Wailang.Good friends reunited and got new official positions, and they were very pleased with each other.From then on, Du Fu worked in the Yanwu shogunate every day, and only moved his family back to the Huanhuaxi Thatched Cottage, and sometimes he went home to live for a few days, planting flowers and bamboos, tending the crops, and his life settled down again. Yan Wu has a small amount of sexual violence and can't accommodate things.At first, I thought that Zhang Yi had a letter written by himself, so he would be able to love the house and Wu, and treat Du Fu preferentially.Back in Chengdu, the first thing to do is to ask Zhang Yi how he treated Du Fu.Because Zhang Yi was very indifferent to Du Fu and didn't take care of him at all, he couldn't help but feel angry and hated him.Originally he had the intention of killing, but Du Fu had a straight mind, so when Yan Wu asked, he told the truth.There was another severe drought that year, and Du Fu wrote an article called "Speaking of Drought".The general idea is that in recent years, the prefectures and counties in central Shu have a large number of prisoners, and it is inevitable that there will be no grievances. Those who have committed minor crimes should be released and go home. This article is too straightforward, and Yan Wu is not very happy after reading it.Inviting Du Fu to talk again, it turned out that there were many prisoners in Zizhou, and some of them were innocent, so they became more and more enraged and wanted to kill Zhang Yi at that time.Du Fu advised him not to listen.He said again: "The middle of Shu is in chaos every year. Xu knows that it has just subsided. How can he kill the generals again?" Yan Wu was furious, and the two sides quarreled for a while.Du Fu was afraid of causing trouble, so he walked onto Yan Wu's bed, stared angrily and said: "Yan Ting has been loyal and honest all his life, never hurt others easily, unexpectedly there is a son like you!" Yan Wu also said angrily: "What do you, Du Shenyan's grandson, know? You have offended me, and I will kill you too!" At that time, when friends met, it was most rude to mention the name of each other's grandfather.As a result, both of them were angry.Du Fu said a few more angry words and walked away. Yan Wu immediately ordered Zhang Yi to be summoned, intending to kill him and Du Fu together.In the midst of anger, Du Fu didn't know what to do, so he wrote a letter to resign, and without waiting for an answer, and without meeting Yan Wu, he went back to the thatched cottage alone, and left without saying goodbye.Yan Wu couldn't take it anymore, so he sent someone to arrest Du Fu the next day, and planned to kill Zhang Yi together.All the servants in the military academy have been summoned, and it was about to start, Yan's mother suddenly believed her, called Yan Wu inside, and said: "Du Fu is your father's good friend, and you two have a good relationship, so you shouldn't do such a murderous attack." Yan Wusu was filial, thinking of Du Fu's knowledge and the friendship between the two, his heart softened, and he didn't even kill Zhang Yi.For Du Fu, he comforted Du Fu with kind words and sent chariots and horses to take him home.The more Du Fu thought about it, the more boring he became, so he resigned from Yan Wu's shogunate and lived in seclusion in the Tanhuaxi Thatched Cottage, and the two sides no longer communicated. In the spring of that year, the plague was prevalent in central Sichuan, and Yan Wu was suddenly seriously ill.Du Fu returned to live in the shogunate and accompanied him every day.But Yan Wu's illness never improved, and he managed to survive until April of that year, and still died of illness.Although Du Fu was sad in his heart, he returned to the thatched cottage after Yan Wu's burial.Later, Guo Ying, who served as Jiedu envoy, was rude to warriors and disliked scholars. He also thought that Du Fu was a strict warrior, so he discriminated against him.Of course Du Fu couldn't stay any longer, so he had to go back to the thatched cottage, still farming, and living a poor life.In a blink of an eye, it was autumn, and it was raining again. Du Fu was sitting in the thatched cottage, very depressed.Woke up early that day, the wind was blowing, and the thatched shed on the roof of the thatched cottage was removed, and I hurried to the door to see that some children from Nancun were rolling up the thatched shed and walking towards the opposite bamboo forest.Du Fu was so anxious that he jumped and yelled until his voice was exhausted. The children ignored him, but the two urchins made a face at Du Fu, and then walked away laughing. , unimaginable.It was windy and rainy at night, it was getting colder and colder, the roof was leaking, and the bed was not comfortable at all. My favorite youngest son didn't sleep well at noon, and he crushed a large piece of the old quilt, and the quilt was all wet after a while. Unable to sleep peacefully, he got angry and got up and wrote a poem, which is the "Song of the Thatched House Broken by the Autumn Wind" that has been recited throughout the ages.Du Fu barely lived at home for half a year, and the situation became more and more difficult.Just when he couldn't make up his mind, he suddenly heard people say that Zhang Yi, the prefect of Zizhou, thanked him for saving his life, and often talked about it, which was very meaningful.Du Fu was really helpless, so he had to go to see Zhang Yi, intending to try it out.Zhang Yiguo was told that although Yan Wu wanted to kill him last year, it was all due to Du Fu's persuasion. After half a day's delay, Yan's mother found out that nothing happened.Although Du Fu voted this time, although he was not as indifferent as last time, he was not very polite.It was also heard that Guo Ying, the envoy of the new festival, didn't like Du Fu and didn't dare to get close to him. He only treated each other with hypocrisy and no real benefits. After a long time, Du Fu couldn't stay any longer and had to go home.Suddenly, he heard people say that his good friend Gao Shi was the new Xichuan Jiedu. He remembered that this was his best friend, so he brought his whole family to join him.In the beginning, this was treated much more generously than Yan Wu, and he had everything to rely on for the rest of his life.Who knows that things are not as expected!Gao Shi only seemed to be warm to him when they first met, but after a long time, he became cold.Du Fu couldn't stay still anymore, so he moved his family to Yun'an.In the spring of the first year of the Dali calendar, it was moved from Yun'an to Lingzhou.大历二年三月迁居赤甲，住了数月，勉强在朋友帮助下，在壤西和东屯各建了一所草堂，置了点田，亲率家人躬耕，往来于瀼西、东屯之间。似这样过了不久，便率全家出峡南下到江陵，跟着又由江陵移居公安，成了浮家泛宅，没有一定住所。在公安还没有过冬，便迁往岳州，住到第二年正月再迁往潭州。因慕衡州山水，便迁了去。住到夏天，实在热得难受，又回潭州避暑。到了大历五年四月臧玠作乱，杜甫想到郴州去投亲，没有走成，全家人在荆楚各地飘泊了一个时期，最后流寓到来阳县。
