Chapter 3 The third desert sandstorm
When the monks in the temple saw that the burnt wood had passed away, they all wept bitterly.Some bandaged the wounds of the wounded and carried them into the guest house.
Suddenly, I heard the constant ringing in the copper vat under the huge bell. I don't know what kind of monster is inside. The monks looked at each other, at a loss, and then recited the "Gao Wang Sutra" in unison, but they didn't know that "Save the Suffering" and "Amitabha Buddha" were in the voice , the ringing in the vat kept going, and finally got bolder, more than a dozen monks worked together to hoist the big bell with thick ropes, and just lifted the copper vat a little, and a huge meat ball rolled out of it.The monks were shocked and fled in all directions.I saw the fleshy ball jumped up and gasped, but it was Han Baoju.He was shrouded in a copper vat, and he didn't know the situation of the second half of the battle. Seeing the scorched wood die, and his righteous brothers were all seriously injured, he screamed anxiously.Lifting the Golden Dragon Whip, he wanted to shoot down Qiu Chuji's head.Quan Jinfa shouted: "Third brother, you can't!" Han Baoju said angrily, "Why?"
Ke Zhen'e was hit by swords in both legs, he was seriously injured, but his mind was still clear, he took out the antidote from his bosom, ordered the monks to give it to Qiu Chuji and Han Xiaoying respectively, and at the same time told Han Baoju what had happened.Han Baoju was furious, turned around and ran out to chase and kill Duan Tiande.Ke Zhen'e stopped, and said: "The villain will find him slowly, and you will help the brothers who have suffered internal injuries."
Zhu Cong and Nan Xiren suffered serious internal injuries.The kick on Quan Blonde's waist was really not light.Zhang Asheng's arm was broken and his chest was shaken. He passed out from the pain for a while, but after waking up, he was fine.At present, everyone is recuperating in the temple.
The supervisor of Fahua Temple sent people to Yunqi Temple in Hangzhou to report to Zen Master Kumu and take care of the funeral for Zen Master Jiaomu.
After a few days, the poison in Qiu Chuji and Han Xiaoying's body disappeared.Qiu Chuji was proficient in medicine, he prescribed medicines for Zhu Cong and others, and gave them massages respectively.Fortunately, everyone's roots are evenly thick, internal injuries and external injuries gradually healed, and after a few days, they were able to sit up.That day eight people gathered in a monk's room, remembering that they were tricked by traitors, that many great masters in the rivers and lakes killed themselves by mistake, all of them were seriously injured, and even lost the life of Chan Master Jiaomu, they were all sad Silent.
After a while, Han Xiaoying first said: "Qiu Dao is famous all over the world, and our seven brothers are not newcomers. This time, everyone was planted in the hands of this unknown person. Let the heroes in the Jianghu ridicule. How to deal with the aftermath of this matter, I have to ask the Taoist priest to show me."
Qiu Chuji also blamed himself for being too reckless these few days. If he hadn't been so impetuous, as long as he negotiated with Jiaomu calmly, the truth would surely come to light. He immediately said to Ke Zhen'e, "Brother Ke, what do you think should be done?"
Ke Zhen'e's temper was already eccentric, and he became even more surly when he was blinded. This time, the seven brothers were defeated by Qiu Chuji alone, which was a great shame in his life. Coupled with the unbearable pain from the sword wound on his leg, he became even more annoyed. He sneered and said: "Qiu Daochang ran rampant in the world with his sword, why did he take others seriously? Why do you need to ask us brothers about this?"
Qiu Chuji was taken aback, knowing that his anger was still there, he immediately stood up and bowed to the seven people, and said, "I'm really sorry for being so poor and foolish, I would like to thank you all."
Zhu Cong and others all returned the gift.But Ke Zhen'e pretended not to know, and said coldly: "My brothers don't pay attention to the affairs in the rivers and lakes anymore. We are here to fish and chop firewood, as long as the Taoist priest doesn't come here to make trouble again. , we can always live the rest of our lives in peace."
Qiu Chuji gave him a good meal, his face was slightly red, he remained silent for a while, stood up and said: "Pupidao has done something bad this time, and he will never dare to step into the noble realm again. The enmity of Master Burnt Wood, If it falls on the poor Taoist, I will kill the traitor with my hands, and let out such a bad breath. Now the poor Taoist will leave here." Saying that, he bowed again, turned and went out.
Ke Zhen'e yelled: "Wait a minute!" Qiu Chuji turned around and said, "Brother Ke, what are your orders?" Ke Zhen'e said: "You severely injured all of our brothers, just by saying that, is it enough?" Qiu Chuji He said: "Brother Ke, what do you mean? As long as the poor Taoists can do what they can, they will obey everything."
Ke Zhen'e said in a low voice: "We can't swallow this breath, and we still ask the Taoist priest to enlighten us."
Although the Jiangnan Seven Monsters acted chivalrously and righteously, they were all arrogant and behaved strangely. Otherwise, how could they have won the title of "Seven Monsters"?Their martial arts are high, and they are numerous and powerful. They have never suffered a disadvantage in fighting with others in the martial arts.At that time, when they lost peace with the Huaiyang Gang, seven people defeated more than a hundred heroes of the Huaiyang Gang on the banks of the Yangtze River. At that time, Han Xiaoying was still young, but she also killed two enemies. Rivers and lakes.This time, he was defeated by Qiu Chuji alone, so he felt extremely embarrassed.What's more, Jiao Mu is a friend of the Seven Monsters, unfortunately, he was killed, and it can be said that it was caused by Qiu Chuji's reckless actions.However, there is clearly a woman hidden in Fahua Temple, and it is indeed Guo Xiaotian's widow. This is my own fault, but the Seven Monsters of the South of the Yangtze River ignore it.
Qiu Chuji said: "Pindao was hit by a hidden weapon, if Brother Ke hadn't given him the antidote, he would have gone to Huangquan at this time. We fought hard, and Pindao would rather admit defeat." Ke Zhen'e said: "If that's the case, put your back Leave the long sword behind, and I will let you go." He knew that if he attacked again at this time, only the Han brothers and sisters would end up on his side, and the outcome would not matter, but he said let it go, and would rather the seven monsters all die in the battle. The bottom of his sword.
Qiu Chuji was furious, and thought: "I have given you all face, I have given you enough face, and I have made amends and surrendered, so what should I do?" He said immediately: "This is the weapon used by the poor to protect themselves, just like Brother Ke's iron staff. Normal." Ke Zhen'e said loudly: "Are you laughing at my blindness?" Qiu Chuji said: "I dare not." Ke Zhen'e said angrily: "Now we are all injured, it's hard to decide the outcome. Next year today, please ask the Taoist priest again We will meet at Drunken Immortal Tower."
Qiu Chuji frowned, thinking that these seven monsters are not evil, why should I fight with them?After the burnt wood died that day, Han Baoju escaped from the copper vat, if he wanted to kill me, it would be as easy as pie.Besides, I was reckless in this matter after all, the big man can distinguish right from wrong, and he can admit his mistakes easily, but how to get rid of their entanglement is not easy. There is nothing wrong with winning or losing, but the method must be determined by Pindao. Otherwise, Pindao had already lost to Zhu Erxia in the wine fight at the head of the Zuixian Tower; The third game is still a loss, so there is no need to compete again."
Han Baoju, Han Xiaoying, and Zhang Asheng immediately stood up, Zhu Cong and others who were sleeping on the bed also raised their heads, and said in unison: "The seven monsters in the south of the Yangtze River compete with each other, and the time and location are always chosen by people."
Qiu Chuji saw that they were so competitive, he smiled slightly, and said: "No matter what kind of gambling method, can you listen to the advice of the poor?" Zhu Cong and Quan Jinfa both thought that even if you have some tricks, they will not lose to you. They said in unison: "It's up to you to decide." Qiu Chuji said: "A gentleman?" Han Xiaoying interjected: "Take a whip." Ke Zhen'e was still pondering, Qiu Chuji said: "If you don't like my idea That's right, the poor say it first, so I'm the loser." This is to make it clear that retreat is the only way to advance, and he knows that the seven monsters are stronger, and he will never let him admit defeat easily, Ke Zhen'e really interfaced: "Don't provoke me with words, hurry up Say it."
Qiu Chuji sat down, and said: "My way, the time will be delayed, but the bet is real kung fu and real ability, not just fighting for a moment of blood and courage. Fighting for the first in swords, fists and feet, everyone who learns martial arts will know how to fight." We are all famous figures in the martial arts world, and we must not be as ineffective as the younger boys." The seven monsters in the south of the Yangtze River thought: "If you don't use swords, fists and kicks to decide the outcome, what kind of strange method do you use? Could it be a comparison of drinking?"
Qiu Chuji said proudly: "Let's have a big competition. I will fight against the seven of you alone. Not only will you compete in martial arts, but you will also have to compete with perseverance, wit and ingenuity. After this big competition, you have to see who is the real winner. What a hero."
These words only made the blood of all the seven monsters in the south of the Yangtze River soar.
Han Xiaoying said: "Hurry up, hurry up, the more difficult the better." Zhu Cong smiled and said: "Competitions in cultivating immortals and refining alchemy, drawing talismans to catch ghosts, we are not your opponents." Qiu Chuji also laughed: "Poor Dao also wouldn’t want to compete with Second Brother Zhu for stealing and stealing.” Han Xiaoying giggled, followed by repeated urgings: “Say it, say it.”
Qiu Chuji said: "Tracing back to the source, we accidentally hit and injured, and we started to save the loyal descendants, so this matter has to be attributed to this." So he told how he met Guo and Yang, and how he chased Duan Tiande. up.The seven monsters in the south of the Yangtze River heard it, and they couldn't stop scolding the Jin people for being tyrannical, and the court officials were shameless.
After Qiu Chuji finished speaking, he said: "The person that Duan Tiande brought out was Guo Xiaotian's wife, Li Shi. Except for Brother Ke and the brothers and sisters of the Han family, the other four have seen them." Ke Zhen'e said: "I remember her voice. I will never forget it forever." Qiu Chuji said: "Very good. As for Yang Tiexin's wife, Bao Shi, I don't know where it is. That Bao family has been seen before, but you don't recognize it. This is what Pindao bet with everyone. That’s the problem. So here’s the solution..." Han Xiaoying hurriedly said, "The seven of us are going to save Mrs. Li, and you are going to save Mrs. Bao. Whoever succeeds first wins, right?"
Qiu Chuji smiled slightly and said: "When it comes to saving people, although it is not easy, it is not difficult for a hero. The idea of a poor man is much more difficult and more troublesome." Ke Zhen'e said: "What else?"
Qiu Chuji said: "Those two women are already pregnant. After saving them, they have to settle down. After they give birth, I will teach the child named Yang, and you seven will teach the child named Guo..." Jiangnan Hearing what he said, the seven monsters became more and more surprised, and all opened their mouths wide.Han Baoju said: "How?" Qiu Chuji said: "Eighteen years have passed, the children are all eighteen years old, let's meet again at the Zuixian Tower in Jiaxing Mansion, and invite the heroes and heroes of the world to have a feast While the wine is hot, let the two children compete in martial arts, to see whether the apprentice of the poor is the best, or the apprentice of the Seven Heroes?" The Seven Monsters of the South of the Yangtze River looked at each other, speechless.
Qiu Chuji said again: "If the seven of you compete with Pindao in person, even if you win one more game, it will be nothing more than winning more and less, and it will not be honorable. Wait until Pindao teaches one person all the skills of the whole body, and the seven will also learn the art The karma is passed on to one person. Let the two of them compete one-on-one, and if the poor apprentice wins, the Seven Heroes must be convinced."
Ke Zhen'e's pride filled his chest, he slammed his iron staff on the ground, and shouted: "Okay, let's gamble."
Quan Jinfa said: "If Duan Tiande has killed Mrs. Li at this time, then what should I do?" Qiu Chuji said: "This is a gamble on luck. The Lord wants me to win, what can I say?"
Han Baoju said: "Okay, saving the orphans and widows is what a chivalrous person should do. Even if we are no better than you, we have done a good thing." Qiu Chuji raised his thumb and said loudly: "Han Sanye said Well done. Thank you to the seven brothers who are willing to take the responsibility of bringing up Guo’s orphans, who died in poverty.” They bowed in groups.Zhu Cong said: "Your method is too cunning. With these few words, my brother has to worry about you for eighteen years?"
Qiu Chuji's face changed color, and he looked up to the sky and laughed.Han Xiaoying said angrily: "What's so funny?" Qiu Chuji said: "I've heard the names of the Seven Monsters in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time. It is said in the Jianghu that the Seven Heroes are in a hurry. They are really heroes who fight for justice. How could I see you today, hehe!" Han Baoju and Zhang Asheng said in unison: "How?" Qiu Chuji said: "It's called gaining a false reputation, it's better to be famous than to meet!"
The Jiangnan Seven Monsters were furious.Han Baoju slammed his palm on the bench, and just as he was about to speak, Qiu Chuji said: "A great hero and a true chivalrous man in ancient times, making friends with others is to work for his friends. As long as it is righteous, even if you give your life to him, it is considered a good thing." What? I've never heard that Jing Ke and Nie Zheng were so fussy. The Zhu family and Guo Xie help the poor and help the poor, and they don't necessarily bargain again." After these words were taken for granted, Zhu Cong's face was dull and his heart was broken. Feeling ashamed, he fanned himself immediately and said: "The Taoist priest is right, brother is convicted. We seven monsters are responsible for this matter."
Qiu Chuji stood up and said: "Today is the twenty-fourth of March, eighteen years later at noon today, everyone will meet at the Zuixian Tower, and let the heroes of the world see who is the real good man!" With a blow, the room was full of wind, and he immediately went out.
Han Baoju said: "I'm going to chase that Duan Tiande right now, if I hide him in the tortoise cave and disappear without a trace, it will take a lot of trouble." Among the seven monsters, he was the only one who was not injured, so he rushed out of the mountain gate and stepped over. Chasing Feng Huang Mingju, rushing to catch up with Duan Tiande and Li Shi.Zhu Cong shouted anxiously: "Third Brother, Third Brother, you don't recognize them!" But Han Baoju's temper is extremely impatient, and Zhuifenghuang's horse lives up to its name, it really gallops like the wind, and it has already gone far.
Duan Tian dragged Li Ping away and rushed out. When he turned around and saw that no one was chasing him out of the temple, he felt relieved. He ran to the river and saw a small boat. He jumped on the bow and raised his knife to order the boatman to sail.Jiangnan is a land of water, the rivers are dense like cobwebs, and boats are common means of transportation, just like horses and mule carts in the north, so there has always been a saying that "people in the north ride horses, and people in the south take boats".Seeing that he was a vicious military officer, the boatman would not dare to disobey him, so he immediately let go of the rope and rowed the oar, and drove the boat out of the city. Duan Tiande thought to himself: "I have caused this catastrophe, if I go back to Lin'an, if nothing else, my uncle will take my life immediately, so I have to go to the north to avoid the limelight. It is best that the thief and the seven monsters in the south of the Yangtze He was seriously injured and died, and my uncle was so angry that he died, and it will not be too late to go back to be an official." Now he supervised the boatman all the way to the north.Although Han Baoju's horse traveled fast, but he searched here and there on the dry road, naturally he couldn't find him. Duan Tiande changed the boat several times, changed his officer's attire, and forced Li Ping to change his clothes as well.More than ten days later, I crossed the river and came to Yangzhou. I invested in an inn. I was about to settle down for a temporary residence. It happened that I heard someone asking the owner of the inn for my whereabouts.Duan Tiande was taken aback, and looked through the crack of the door. He saw an ugly short fat man and a beautiful girl. Both of them spoke Jiaxing dialect. They were supposed to be characters from the Jiangnan Seven Monsters. Fortunately, the manager of Yangzhou didn't know much about the two. The two sides couldn't understand what they were talking about for a while, so they hurriedly pulled Li Ping, slipped out through the back door, and hired a boat. He didn't dare to stay for a while, went north along the canal, and arrived at Liguo Post by Weishan Lake in Shandong Province in one breath. Li Ping has thick hands and big feet, and his appearance was originally ugly. At this time, his belly was swollen, and he was cursing and crying all day long. Although Duan Tiande is a low-grade child, he has no intention of indecent treatment of him.The two face each other every day, they just fight and scold each other, and there is no peace for a moment. After a few days, the short fat man and the girl came after them again.Duan Tiande just wanted to hide quietly in the house, but Li Ping yelled loudly when he learned that the savior was coming.Duan Tiande hurriedly stuffed her mouth with a quilt and beat her hard, Li Ping desperately struggled and screamed, although Han Baoju and Xiaoying brothers and sisters didn't find out, it was already in danger. Duan Tiande took her to escape, he originally wanted to use her as a hostage, so that the enemy would not dare to press too hard in a critical situation, but the situation has changed, he thought that it would be easy to escape alone, it would be a big mistake to keep this shrew by his side It is better to kill the troublesome child with one knife, clean hands and feet, and draw out the knife immediately after the Han brothers and sisters leave. Li Ping is always looking for opportunities to die with this husband-killer and enemy, but every night when she sleeps, she is bound by his hands and feet, making it difficult for her to do so. At this time, seeing his fierce eyes, she secretly prayed: "Brother Xiao, brother Xiao, please protect me from the ghost spirit, teach me to slash this villain with my hands. I'm here to meet you." Immediately, he took out the dagger that Qiu Chuji gave him from his bosom.She hid the dagger close to the flesh, but Duan Tiande did not search for it. Duan Tiande sneered, raised his knife and chopped it down.Li Ping had made up her mind to die, she did not fear at all, she used all her strength to stab Duan Tiande with her dagger.Duan Tiande only felt the cold air approaching his face, he swung his saber back and wanted to knock off the dagger, but he didn't realize that the dagger was extremely sharp, he heard a clang, half of the waist saber snapped and fell to the ground, the dagger had already reached the tip on his chest.Duan Tiande was terrified, he fell back, and with a sneer, a big slit was cut on the clothes on his chest, and a long bloodstain was cut from his chest to his abdomen. The catastrophe of breaking the chest and disembowelling.Panicked, he quickly raised his chair to block him, and shouted, "Put away the knife, I won't kill you!" Li Ping's hands were sore and her body was weak at this time, and at the same time the fetus in her womb kept beating, Unable to fight with him, he sat on the ground and gasped for breath, but held on to the dagger tightly in his hand. Duan Tiande was afraid that Han Baoju would come back later, he would run away alone, and he was also afraid that Li Ping would reveal his whereabouts to the enemy, so he hurriedly forced her to board the boat and set off again, still going north along the canal, via Linqing and Dezhou, and arrived in Hebei territory. Every time I go to live in Lu, no matter how remote it is, after a while, someone always looks for him. Later, in addition to the short fat man and the woman, there is another blind man holding an iron staff. Finally, these three people don't recognize him. He was in the light while the other party was in the dark, so he had to be able to dodge in time, but he was already in danger. Not long after, another big headache happened. Li Ping suddenly went crazy. In the inn and on the journey, she babbled nonsense loudly, attracting attention, sometimes tearing her hair and clothes, showing a lot of strange appearances.At the beginning, Duan Tiande also said that she had undergone great changes and became confused, but after a few days, she suddenly realized that she was afraid that the pursuers would lose their clues, so she deliberately left traces. Difficult.At this time, the heat of summer was over and the golden wind was beginning to blow. Duan Tiande evaded the pursuit and had gone as far as the northern country. The silver he was carrying was almost used up, but the enemy was still chasing after him. Money fan, what a joy, coveting other people's money for no reason, going to Niujia Village to kill the vicious robber husband of the vicious woman, but to suffer this living crime." Several times he wanted to leave Li Ping and sneak away by himself. , but after thinking about it, he never dared to plot harm to her, but he never succeeded again.This amulet turned into a big burden that could not be shaken off or killed, but it was extremely distressing to have to fear her to avenge her husband's murder. Not one day later, he came to Yanjing, the capital of the Kingdom of Jin. Duan Tiande thought to himself that the capital of the Kingdom of Jin has many people, so he should find a secluded place to hide. I can't reach myself anymore. He was full of wishful thinking, but just as he arrived at the gate of the city, a group of golden soldiers came out of the city, without asking the reason, they arrested the two and forced them to bear the burden.Li Ping was short in stature, and Jin Bing gave her a lighter burden.On Duan Tiande's shoulders was a heavy burden of about one hundred catties, which only made him cry uncontrollably. The group of golden soldiers followed an official all the way north.It turned out that the official was an envoy sent to the Mongolian tribe to announce the edict of the Lord Jin.The escorting Jin soldiers randomly took the Han people as porters to carry luggage and food.Duan Tiande defended a few words, Jin Bing's leather whip was whipped down.He has experienced a lot of situations like this, it's not surprising, it's just that he has always whipped the people's heads with the whip, but today it is Jin Bing who whipped his own head with the whip.The whip is the same, but the head is quite different. At this time, Li Ping's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and she was exhausted from carrying the burden and trekking, but she was determined to kill her enemies, and tried her best to cover up along the way to prevent Jin Bing from discovering her flaws. , and his body is very strong, he immediately risked his life and tried his best to support it.For dozens of days, he walked in the bitter cold of the desert. Although it was October at this time, it was extremely cold in the northern country. On this day, the sky was covered with snowflakes, and the yellow sand was vast, and there was nowhere to hide from the wind and snow.More than three hundred people lined up and marched on the vast wilderness.While walking, suddenly there was a faint shout from the north, and in the dust, there were thousands of horses galloping, and countless soldiers and horses rushing forward. While everyone was panicking, a large group of soldiers and horses had rushed over, but they were a group of defeated soldiers.The soldiers will be wearing furs, and they don't know what tribe they are from Mobei, but seeing the chaos in the ranks, the soldiers are throwing bows and guns, rushing to be the first, everyone's face is panicked.Some of them lost their horses and ran wildly on foot, only to be rushed up by the horsemen behind them, and fell under the hooves of the horses in a blink of an eye. Seeing that the defeated army was strong, the officers and soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin scattered and fled in all directions.Li Ping was originally with Duan Tiande, but the defeated soldiers came like a tide, and Duan Tiande disappeared in the midst of the chaos.Li Ping threw down her burden and fled desperately to a place where there were few people. Fortunately, everyone just wanted to escape, but no one hurt her.
She ran for a while, only to feel pain in her abdomen, unable to hold on any longer, fell down behind a sand dune, and passed out.After a long, long time, Yoyo woke up, and seemed to hear the sound of a baby crying in a coma.She was still in a daze, not knowing whether she had returned to the underworld or was still in the world, but her son's cries became louder and louder, and when she moved, she suddenly felt something warm in her crotch.It was already midnight, the snow had just stopped, and a bright moon came out from among the clouds. She suddenly woke up, and couldn't help crying bitterly. She quickly sat up, picked up the baby, saw that it was a boy, she shed tears of joy, immediately bit off the umbilical cord with her teeth, and hugged the baby close to the flesh.Under the moonlight, the child had thick eyebrows and big eyes, his voice was loud and clear, and his face vaguely resembled that of his deceased husband.She lay a child in the snow, and she had to die, but when she saw the child, she somehow generated strength, struggled to get up, and hid in a shallow pit next to the sand dune to avoid the wind and cold. Looking at the baby, she thought of her dead husband, Can't help but have mixed feelings. I hid in the sandpit for one night, and at noon the next day, I heard no sound from all around, and bravely went out, only to see dead people and horses everywhere, in the yellow sand and white snow, full of knives, guns, bows and arrows, looking around , there is no living person. She found some dry food from the dead soldier's rucksack to eat, and found a fire knife and flint from the dead soldier, cut a piece of horse meat, and lit a fire to roast it.He took off the dead soldier's fur, wrapped the child in one, and put on another for himself.Fortunately, the weather was extremely cold, and the body did not rot. She ate horse meat and endured ten days on the battlefield. Her energy gradually recovered, she took her child, and walked eastward.At this time, she was holding her own child in her arms, and the bitterly hated Duan Tiande was nowhere to be found, the original grief and resentment suddenly turned into tenderness and love, the wind and sand in the desert were like knives, she only wished not to blow the child's face, I don't think it hurts at all. After walking for a few days, there are more and more vegetation underground. It was getting late, and suddenly I saw two horses galloping ahead.When the rider saw her appearance, he reined in his horse and asked.She talked and compared, and told about meeting defeated soldiers and Xue Di'er.Those two were Mongolian herdsmen. Although they didn't understand her language, the Mongolians were hospitable by nature and cared for the poor and orphans. Seeing that her mother and child were pitiful, they invited her to the yurt to have a good meal and a good night's sleep.The Mongols lived as nomads. They drove their livestock to move eastward and westward, chasing aquatic plants, and did not settle down. They built tents with felt to shelter them from the wind and snow. They were called yurts.The herdsmen left her four lambs when they left. Li Ping worked hard to raise the baby and survived in the desert.She built a thatched hut with branches next to the water plants, raised livestock, spun woolen thread and weaved felt, and exchanged grain with the shepherds. A few years later, the child is already six years old.According to her husband's will, Li Ping named him Guo Jing.The child was slow to learn words, and he was a little dumb. He could not speak until he was four years old. Fortunately, his muscles and bones were strong, and he was able to herd cattle and sheep on the grassland.The mother and the son depended on each other, worked diligently, the number of livestock increased, and their livelihood became better. They both learned Mongolian, but the mother and son talked, but they still spoke the language of Lin'an's hometown.Li Ping looked at his son's simple-minded appearance, and said something like "sheep and horse", all with his native Lin'an dialect, and could not help but feel sad: "Your father is a hero from Shandong, so you should also speak Shandong dialect." It's a pity that my time with your father is too short, and I haven't learned how to roll his tongue, so I can't teach you."
It was October this year, and the weather was getting colder. Guo Jing rode a pony and took a shepherd dog out to herd the sheep.At noon, a black eagle flew in the air and swooped down on the flock of sheep. A frightened lamb ran eastward.Guo Jing kept yelling, but the lamb ran away without looking back. He hurriedly rode on the pony and chased after it. After seven or eight miles, he overtook the lamb. He was about to bring the lamb back when suddenly there was a faint rumbling sound in front of him.Guo Jing was taken aback, he didn't know what it was in his little mind, he thought maybe it was thunder.I could only hear the sound of thunder getting louder and louder, and after a while, I heard the roar of people and horses neighing in the middle of the rumbling. He had never heard such a sound before, and he was frightened. He hurriedly led the pony and lamb, walked up a dirt hill, got into the bushes, and poked his head out after hiding. In the distance, the sky was covered with dust, and countless army horses galloped towards them. The leader of the team gave orders, and the army horses lined up in formations, one team to the east, one team to the west, countless.Some of the soldiers will have white turbans wrapped around their heads, and some will have five-color feathers.Guo Jing was no longer afraid at this moment, and was very happy to watch. After a while, I suddenly heard the sound of horns several miles away from the left, and several rows of soldiers and horses rushed over. The leading general was a thin and thin young man with a red cloak on his body, holding a long knife high, leading the charge.Soldiers and horses from both sides rushed close and began to fight.The attacking team had very few people, and soon they could not resist the enemy and retreated, and reinforcements arrived from behind, and the fighting was loud and loud.Seeing that the attacking soldiers and horses were about to be unable to hold on, suddenly dozens of horns blew in unison, and there was a burst of drumming. The attacking soldiers cheered loudly: "Tiemujin's sweat is coming, sweat is coming!" They kept fighting, but kept turning their heads to look east. Guo Jing followed everyone's gaze, and saw a group of people galloping towards the sky covered by yellow sand. The group held up a long pole with a few clumps of white hair hanging on it.The cheers came from far and near, the attacking soldiers and horses were full of courage, and the soldiers and horses who arrived first were scattered.The long pole moved straight towards the mound, Guo Jing hurriedly retreated to the depths of the bushes, his small eyes were still looking out, and saw a tall, middle-aged man galloping up the mound.He was wearing an iron helmet, with a brown beard growing under his chin, his eyes rolled away, and he was naked.Guo Jing didn't know that he was Temujin, the chief of the Mongolian tribe. Even if he knew, he didn't know what "Great Khan" was. Temujin rode on his horse and stared at the battle situation at the bottom of the mountain, with more than ten followers beside him.After a while, the young general in a red cloak galloped up the mountain and shouted: "Father, the number of enemies is large, let's retreat!" Temujin had seen the situation clearly at this time, and said in a low voice, "You lead the team to retreat eastward!" He watched the soldiers and horses fighting on both sides with both eyes, and sent an order in his mouth: "Mu Huali, you and the second prince lead the team to the east." Retreat to the west. Boershu, you and Chilaowen lead the team to retreat to the north. Kubilai, you and Subotai lead the team to retreat to the south. Seeing the big flag raised high and the horn blowing, turn back and charge together." Generals They agreed in unison, and led their subordinates down the mountain. After a while, the Mongolian soldiers retreated in all directions. The enemy soldiers cheered in unison, seeing that Temujin's white-haired banner was still erected on the mountain, they shouted from all directions: "Catch Temujin alive, catch Temujin alive!" Ignore the Mongolian soldiers who retreated around.Thousands of horses trampled on the sand and raised dust, and clouds of yellow mist rose around the earth mountain. Temujin stood on the high place of the earth mountain, motionless, and more than a dozen powerful soldiers raised their iron shields to block the incoming crossbow arrows around him.Temujin's brother-in-law Kuduhu and the fierce general Lemi led 3,000 elite soldiers to guard around the mountain, shooting arrows and knives, and steadfastly defending. The sound of killing in the shadow of swords and spears shook the sky.Guo Jing was excited and scared at the same time. The fierce battle lasted for more than half an hour. Tens of thousands of enemy soldiers attacked in turn. Temujin's 3,000 elite soldiers had more than 400 casualties, and more than 1,000 enemy soldiers were also killed by them.Temujin looked around, but saw the corpses of the enemy soldiers strewn all over the field, and the horses with no one on their saddles galloping in all directions, but the feathered arrows shot by the enemy soldiers were still powerful.Seeing that the enemy soldiers were attacking fiercely in the northeast corner, and the defenders were gradually unable to resist, Temujin's third son, O Kuotai, was very anxious and asked, "Daddy, can you raise your banner and blow the trumpet?" Temujin's eyes widened. Like an eagle, he looked at the enemy soldiers down the mountain without blinking, and said in a low voice: "The enemy soldiers are not tired yet!" At this time, the enemy army mobilized heavy troops on the northeast corner to attack fiercely, and erected three black banners. Obviously, three generals were there to supervise the battle.The Mongolian soldiers retreated gradually.Jaremi ran up the hill and shouted, "Khan, the children can't resist!" Temujin said angrily, "Can't stop? What kind of hero are you praising?" Zhe Lemi's face changed color, and he snatched a big knife from the sergeant's hand. He He screamed wildly, rushed into the enemy's formation, cut a bloody path, and rushed straight to the front of the black flag.Seeing his ferocious approach, the enemy general reined in his horse and retreated.Zhe Lemi raised his sword and hacked to death the three big men holding banners one by one. He threw down the sword, hugged the three black banners with both hands and went back to the mountain, turned them upside down and inserted them into the soil.The enemy soldiers were shocked to see him so brave.The Mongolian soldiers cheered and screamed, and blocked the gap in the northeast corner again. After fighting for a long time, suddenly a black-robed general from the enemy army on the southwest corner came out from the crowd, and shot down more than ten Mongolian soldiers one after another.Two Mongolian generals rushed forward with spears, but he swished two arrows and knocked them off their horses.Temujin boasted: "Good arrow skills!" Before he finished speaking, the black-robed general rushed close to the mound. At the sound of the bowstring, an arrow was shot directly at Temujin's neck, and then another arrow was shot straight at Tiemuzhen. Muzhen shoots from the belly. Temujin was hit by an arrow in his left neck, and seeing another arrow coming, he hurriedly raised the reins of the horse, and the horse stood up quickly. The arrow was so powerful that it pierced through the horse's chest and went straight through the feathers, and the horse fell to the ground.When the Mongolian army saw that the coach fell off his horse with an arrow, everyone was shocked.Amidst the shouts of the enemy army, they rushed up like a tide.Wo Kuotai pulled out the arrow feathers from his neck for his father, and tore off his clothes to bind his wounds.Temujin shouted: "Leave me alone, guard the mountain pass." Okuotai obeyed his orders, turned around, drew arrows and shot down two enemy soldiers. Hu Duhu led his troops to fight from the west, but they lost all their arrows and had to retreat.Jeremy's eyes turned red, and he shouted: "Kuduhu, run away like a rabbit?" Kuduhu laughed and said, "Who is running away? I have no arrows." Temujin sat down on the ground and took out his quiver He took out a feather arrow and threw it over.Hu Duhu took the arrow, the bowstring rang repeatedly, and a general under the opposite black flag was hit by the arrow and fell off the horse.Hudu Hu rushed down the mountain, snatched the general's horse, and came back up the mountain. Temujin praised: "Good brother, I really have you!" Kuduhu was covered in blood, and said in a low voice: "Can I hold up the banner and blow the horn?" Flowing from the palm of his hand, he said: "The enemy army is not tired yet, let's support for a while." Kuduhu knelt down and begged: "We are willing to die for you, but you are the most important Khan." Temujin led a horse, struggled to get on the saddle, and shouted: "Everyone hold on tight!" He swung his long knife and killed three enemy soldiers rushing up the hill.Seeing Temujin remounting his horse suddenly, the enemy couldn't help being overwhelmed by it, and retreated down the mountain in defeat, slowing down their attack. Temujin saw that the enemy's strength was weakening, so he shouted, "Raise the flag and blow the trumpet!" Amidst the shouts of the Mongolian soldiers, a guard stood on his horse, held up the white-haired banner, and blew the horn.The sound of killing was loud all around, and rows of Mongolian soldiers in the distance rushed towards them like thunder. Although there were many enemy troops, they all gathered around the earth hill to attack. The troops on the outside collapsed, and you pushed each other in the middle, making a mess.Seeing that the momentum was wrong, the black-robed general yelled orders to restrain him, but the formation was in disarray, and the soldiers had no fighting spirit. In less than half an hour, the army was blown to pieces, large groups were annihilated, and small groups fled.The black-robed general rode a black horse and fled away. Temujin shouted: "Those who catch this thief will be rewarded with three catties of gold." Dozens of Mongolian athletes chased after him.The black-robed general fired all his arrows, and he fell off his horse, shooting down more than ten people in one breath.The rest of the people did not dare to approach, they were urged to gallop by him, but they escaped. Guo Jing hid in the bushes and saw it from a distance, and he admired the black-robed general in his heart. This battle Temujin won a complete victory, annihilating more than half of the world's enemies, the Tayichiwu tribe. Today, Fang Xue was bleeding from the wound on her neck in this great enmity, but she was happy in her heart and couldn't help laughing.All the soldiers cheered loudly, embraced the sweat and retreated triumphantly.
Guo Jing waited for the crowd to go away, and the soldiers who cleared the battlefield also returned because it was dark, so he slipped out from the bushes, and it was midnight when he got home, and his mother was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, not knowing what to do, Seeing his son come back, he was overjoyed from heaven.When Guo Jing talked about what he saw just now, although he stuttered and couldn't speak clearly, he still gave a general idea.Li Ping saw that he was beaming with joy and showed no signs of fear. She thought that although the child is young and clumsy, he will be the queen of the family, but he has a fatherly style, so she couldn't help being both happy and sad. On the morning of the third day, Li Ping took the two felts she had woven by hand and went to the market thirty miles away to exchange food.Guo Jing was herding the sheep outside the door, recalling the fierce battle he saw on the dirt hill the day before yesterday, he thought it was extremely amusing, raised the whip for driving the sheep, rode on the horse as a general, yelled loudly, and drove the flock of sheep, he felt like a great general Leading troops to fight in general. I was having fun when I suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes in the east. One of the horses walked up and down slowly, and one person on the horse's back bowed his head on the saddle.The horse walked closer and stopped, and immediately the man raised his head.Guo Jing was startled and couldn't help screaming. 只见那人满脸又是泥沙，又是血污，正是前日所见的那个黑袍将军。他左手拿着一柄刀头已断的半截马刀，刀上凝结了紫红的血渍，力杀追敌的弓箭却已不知去向，想是前日逃脱后又曾遭遇过敌人。右颊上老大一个伤口，正不住流血，马腿上也受了伤。只见他身子摇晃，眼中布满红丝，嘶嗄了声音叫道：“水，水……给我水？” 郭靖忙进屋去，在水缸里舀了一碗清水，捧到门口。那人夹手夺过，咕嘟咕嘟全喝了下去，说道：“再拿一碗来！”郭靖又去倒了一碗。那人喝到一半，脸上血水滴在碗里，半碗清水全成红色。那人哈哈一笑，忽然脸上筋肉扭动，一个倒栽葱跌下马来，晕了过去。 郭靖大声惊呼，不知如何是好。过了一阵，那人悠悠醒转，叫道：“你给马喝水，有吃的没有？”郭靖拿了几块熟羊肉给他吃了，又提水给马饮了。 那人一顿大嚼，登时精神勃勃，一骨碌跳起身来，叫道：“好兄弟，多谢你！”从手腕上褪下一只粗大的黄金镯子，递给郭靖，道：“给你！”郭靖摇头道：“妈妈说的，应当接待客人，不可要客人东西。”那人哈哈大笑，叫道：“好孩子，好孩子！”将金镯套回手腕，撕下半幅衣襟，包扎好自己脸上与马腿的伤口。 突然东边隐隐传来马群奔驰之声，那人满脸怒容，喝道：“哼，竟是放不过我！”两人出门向东遥望，见远处尘土飞扬，人马不计其数，正向这里奔来。 那人道：“好孩子，你家里有弓箭吗？”郭靖道：“有！”转身入内。那人听了，脸露喜色，却见郭靖拿了自己玩耍的小弓小箭出来。那人哈哈一笑，随即眉头一皱，道：“我要跟人打仗，要大的！”郭靖摇了摇头。 这时追兵愈来愈近，远远已望得见旗帜晃动。那人心想坐骑受伤，大漠上奔逃不远，在此处躲藏虽然危险，却已无第二条路可走，便道：“我一个人打他们不过，要躲起来。”眼见茅屋内外实是无地可躲，情势紧迫，便向屋旁一个大干草堆指了指，说道：“我躲在这里。你把我的马赶得越远越好。你也远远躲了开去，别让他们见到。”说着钻进了干草堆中。蒙古人一过炎夏，便割草堆积，冬日饲养牲口，烧火取暖，全凭干草，是以草堆往往比住人的蒙古包还大。那将军躲入了草堆，若非仔细搜索，倒也不易发觉。 郭靖在黑马臀上刷刷两鞭，那黑马纵蹄狂奔，跑得远远的才停下来吃草。郭靖骑了小马，向西驰去。 追兵望见有人，两名军士骑马赶来。郭靖的小马奔跑不快，不久便给追上了。两名军士喝问：“孩子，见到一个骑黑马的汉子吗？”郭靖不会说谎，张大了嘴不答。两名军士又问几句，见他傻里傻气，始终不答，便道：“带他见大王子去！”拉着小马的缰绳，将他带到茅屋之前。 郭靖心中打定了主意：“我只是不说。”只见无数蒙古战士簇拥着一个身披红色斗篷的瘦长青年。郭靖记得他的脸孔，这人昨天曾领兵大战，士卒个个听他号令，知道他是黑袍将军的敌人。那大王子大声喝道：“小孩怎么说？”两名军士道：“这小孩吓坏了，话也不会说。”大王子凝目四望，突然见到那匹黑马在远处吃草，低沉了声音道：“是他的马吗？去拉来瞧瞧。”十名蒙古兵分成五组，从五个不同的方向悄悄朝黑马围去。待那黑马惊觉，昂头想逃，已没了去路。 大王子见了牵过来的黑马，哼了一声道：“这不是哲别的马吗？”众军士齐声道：“正是！”大王子提起马鞭，刷的一声，在郭靖的小脑袋上抽了一下，喝道：“他躲在哪里？快说。你可别想骗我！” 哲别躲在干草堆里，手中紧紧握住长刀，眼见郭靖吃了一鞭，额上登时起了一道殷红的血痕，心中突突乱跳。他知这人是铁木真的长子朮赤，残酷狠辣，名闻大漠，心想孩子定会受不住恐吓而说了出来，那只有跳出来决死一拚。 郭靖痛得要哭，却拚命忍住眼泪，昂头道：“你为甚么打我？我又没做坏事！”他只知做了坏事才该挨打。朮赤怒道：“你还倔强！”刷的又是一鞭，郭靖大哭起来。 这时众兵丁已在郭靖家中搜查一过，两名军士挺着长矛往干草堆中乱刺，幸好那草堆甚大，没刺到哲别藏身的所在。 朮赤道：“坐骑在这里，他一定不会逃远。小孩，你说不说？”刷刷刷，接连又是三鞭。郭靖伸手想去抓他鞭子，却哪里抓得着？ 突然间远处号角声响，众军士道：“大汗来啦！”朮赤住手不打，拍马迎了上去。众军士拥着铁木真驰来。朮赤迎上去叫了一声：“爹爹！” 前日铁木真被哲别这一箭射得伤势极重，在激战时强行忍住，收兵之后，竟痛晕了数次。大将者勒米和铁木真的三子窝阔台轮流用口吸吮他创口瘀血，或咽或吐。众将士与他的四个儿子在床边守候了一夜，到第二日清晨，方脱险境。 蒙古兵侦骑四出，众人立誓要抓住哲别，将他四马裂体，乱刀分尸，为大汗报那一箭之仇。第二日傍晚，一小队蒙古兵终于遇上哲别，却被他杀伤数人逃脱，但哲别也受了伤。铁木真得讯，先派长子追赶，再亲率次子察合台、三子窝阔台、幼子拖雷一齐赶来。 朮赤向黑马一指，道：“爹爹，找到那贼子的黑马啦！”铁木真道：“我不要马，要人。”朮赤道：“是，咱们一定能找到。”奔回到郭靖面前，拔出腰刀，在空中虚劈两刀，喝道：“你说不说？”郭靖被他打得满脸是血，反而更加倔强，不住叫道：“我不说，我不说！”铁木真听这孩子说话天真，不说“不知道”而说“我不说”，那必是知晓哲别的所在，低声对三子窝阔台道：“你去骗这小孩说出来。” 窝阔台笑嘻嘻的走到郭靖面前，从自己头盔上拔下两根金碧辉煌的孔雀翎毛，拿在手里，笑道：“你说出来，我把这个给你。”郭靖仍道：“我不说。” 铁木真的二子察合台道：“放狗！”他的随从军士当即从后队牵了六头巨獒过来。 蒙古人性喜打猎，酋长贵人无不畜养猎犬猎鹰。察合台尤其爱狗，这次追踪哲别，正用得着猎狗，是以带了六头獒犬，这时放将出来，先命六犬环绕着黑马周围一阵乱嗅，然后找寻哲别藏身的所在。六头巨獒汪汪吠叫，在茅屋中不住的奔进奔出。 郭靖与哲别本不相识，但前日见他在战阵英勇异常，不禁钦佩，而给朮赤抽了这几鞭之后，心里怒极，激发了天性中的一股倔强之气，呼哨一声，呼出自己的牧羊犬来。这时察合台的六犬已快嗅到干草堆前，那牧羊犬听了郭靖的号令，守在草堆前，不许六犬过去。察合台大声呼叱，六头巨犬同时扑了上去，一时犬吠之声大作，七头狗狂吠乱咬的打了起来。那牧羊犬身形既小，又是以一敌六，转瞬间就被咬得遍体鳞伤，可是十分勇敢，竟自不退，负隅死斗。郭靖一面哭，一面呼喝着鼓励爱犬力战。铁木真和窝阔台等见状，早知哲别必是躲在草堆之中，都笑吟吟的瞧着七犬相斗。 朮赤大怒，举起马鞭又是刷刷数鞭，打得郭靖痛彻心肺。他满地打滚，滚到朮赤身边，忽地跃起，抱住他的右腿，死命不放。朮赤用力一抖，哪知这孩子抱得紧极，竟自抖不下来。察合台、窝阔台、拖雷三人见了兄长的狼狈样子，都哈哈大笑起来，铁木真也不禁莞尔，朮赤胀红了脸，拔出腰间长刀，往郭靖头顶劈了下去。眼见这孩子就要身首异处，突然草堆中一柄断头马刀疾伸出来，当啷一声，双刀相交，朮赤只觉手里一震，险些把捏不定。众军士齐声呼叫，哲别已从草堆里跃了出来。 他左手将郭靖一扯，拉到身后，冷笑道：“欺侮孩子，不害臊吗？”众军士刀矛齐举，围在哲别身周。哲别见无可抵挡，抛下手中马刀。朮赤上去当胸一拳，哲别并不还手，喝道：“快杀我！”随即低沉了声音道：“可惜我不能死在英雄好汉手里！” 铁木真道：“你说甚么？”哲别道：“要是我在战场之上，被胜过我的好汉杀了，那是死得心甘情愿。现今却是大鹰落在地下，被蚂蚁咬死！”说着圆睁双眼，猛喝一声。察合台的六犬已把牧羊犬压在地下乱咬，斗然间听到这一声威猛异常的大喝，吓得一齐跳起身来，尾巴夹在后腿之间，畏畏缩缩的逃开。 铁木真身旁闪出一人，叫道：“大汗，别让这小子夸口，我来斗他。”铁木真见是大将博尔朮，心中甚喜，道：“好，你跟他比比。咱们别的没有，有的是英雄好汉。” 博尔朮上前数步，喝道：“我一个人杀你，教你死得心甘情愿。”哲别见他身材魁梧，声音洪亮，喝道：“你是谁？”博尔朮道：“我是博尔朮。你没听见过吗？”哲别心中一凛：“早听说博尔朮是蒙古人中的英雄，原来是他。”横目斜睨，哼了一声。 铁木真道：“你自夸弓箭了得，人家叫你做哲别。你就和我这好朋友比比箭吧。”蒙古语中，“哲别”两字既指“枪矛”，又是“神箭手”之意。哲别本来另有名字，只因他箭法如神，人人叫他哲别，真名反而无人知晓了。 哲别听铁木真叫博尔朮为“好朋友”，叫道：“你是大汗的好朋友，我先杀了你。”蒙古众军士听了，都哈哈大笑起来。人人都知博尔朮武艺精熟，所向无敌，威名扬于大漠，众人虽见过哲别的箭法高强，但说要杀博尔朮，那真叫做不自量力了。
当初铁木真年轻之时，被仇敌泰亦赤兀部人捉去，头颈里套了木枷。泰亦赤兀部众在斡难河滨宴会，一面喝酒，一面用马鞭抽打，要恣意侮辱他之后，再加杀害。后来与宴人众喝得大醉，铁木真用枷头打晕了看守兵卒，逃入树林之中。 泰亦赤兀人大举挨户搜查。有一个青年名叫赤老温，不怕危险，仗义留他，将他木枷打碎，放在火里烧毁，把他藏在一辆装羊毛的大车之中。追兵在赤老温家里到处搜查，搜到大车前，拉去了几把羊毛，快要露出铁木真的脚了。赤老温的父亲情急智生，笑道：“这样大热天，羊毛里怎么能藏人？热也热死了他。”其时正当盛暑，人人汗下如雨，追兵心想有理，这才放过不搜。铁木真生平经历危难无数，以这一次最是千钧一发的大险。 铁木真逃得性命后狼狈之极，与母亲弟弟靠捕杀野鼠过活。 有一天，他养的八匹白马又被别的部落盗了去，铁木真单身去追，遇到一个青年在挤马奶。铁木真问起盗贼的消息。那青年就是博尔朮，说道：“男儿的苦难都是一样，我和你结成朋友。”两人骑马一起追赶，追了三天，赶上盗马的部落。两人箭无虚发，杀败数百名敌人，把八匹马夺回。铁木真要分马给他，问他要几匹。博尔朮道：“我为好朋友出力，一匹马也不要。”自此两人一同创业，铁木真一直叫他做好朋友，实是患难之交。 博尔朮、赤老温两人，连同木华黎、博尔忽，并为蒙古的开国四大功臣。
铁木真素知博尔朮箭法如神，取下自己腰里弓箭递给了他，随即跳下马来，说道：“你骑我的马，用我的弓箭，就算是我射杀了他。”博尔朮道：“遵命！”左手持弓，右手拿箭，跃上铁木真的白口宝马。铁木真对窝阔台道：“你把坐骑借给哲别。”窝阔台道：“便宜了他。”跃下马来，一名亲兵将马牵给哲别。 哲别跃上马背，向铁木真道：“我已被你围住，你要杀我，便如是宰羊一般容易。你既放我与他比箭，我不能不知好歹，再与他平比。我只要一张弓，不用箭。” 博尔朮怒道：“你不用箭？”哲别道：“不错，我一张空弓也能杀得了你！” 蒙古众军士又大声鼓噪起来：“这家伙好会吹大气。”铁木真吩咐取一张好弓给他。 博尔朮在阵上见过哲别的本事，知他箭法了得，本来不敢怠慢，但他此刻有弓无箭，箭法再高，却又如何施展？料知他必是要接了自己射去的羽箭使用，两腿一夹，胯下的白口宝马拨剌剌的跑了开去。这匹马奔跑迅速，久经战阵，在战场上乘者双腿稍加示意，即能进退自如，铁木真向来十分喜爱。 哲别见对手马快，当下勒马反走，博尔朮弯弓搭箭，嗖的一声，发箭往哲别头颈射去。哲别侧过身子，眼明手快，抓住了箭尾。博尔朮暗叫一声：“好！”又是一箭。哲别听得箭声，知道来势甚急，不能手接，俯低身子，伏在鞍上，那箭从头顶擦了过去。他当即纵马前奔，仰身坐直，哪知博尔朮有一手连珠箭神技，嗤嗤两箭，接着从两侧射来。哲别料不到对方如此厉害，猛地溜下马鞍，右足钩住镫子，身子几乎着地，那坐骑跑得正急，把他拖得犹如一只傍地飞舞的纸鹞一般。他腰间一扭，身子刚转过一半，已将适才接来的箭扣上弓弦，拉弦射出，羽箭向博尔朮肚腹上射去，随即又翻背上马。 博尔朮喝声：“好！”觑准来箭，也是一箭射出，双箭箭头相撞，但余势不衰，斜飞出去，都插入沙地之中。铁木真与众人齐声喝彩。 博尔朮虚拉一弓，待哲别往右边闪避，突然发箭向右射去。哲别左手拿弓轻拨，那箭落在地下，博尔朮连射三箭，都被他躲了开去。哲别纵马急驰，突然俯身，在地下拾起了三枝羽箭，搭上弓回身射出。 博尔朮要显本事，跃身站上马背，左脚立鞍，右脚踢开来箭，跟着居高临下，一箭猛射过去。哲别催马旁闪，还射一箭，喀喇一声，把来箭的箭杆劈为两截。 博尔朮心想：“我有箭而他无箭，到现下仍打个平手，如何能报大汗之仇？”心中焦躁起来，连珠箭发，嗖嗖嗖的不断射去，众人瞧得眼都花了。哲别来不及接箭，只得东闪西避，无奈箭来如飞，又多又快，突然噗的一声，左肩竟自中了一箭。众人齐声欢呼。 博尔朮大喜，正要再射数箭，结果他的性命，伸手往箭袋里一抽，却摸了个空，原来刚才一轮连珠急射，竟把铁木真交给他的羽箭都用完了。他上阵向来携箭极多，腰间两袋，马上六袋，共携八袋羽箭，这次所使是大汗自用的弓矢，激斗之中，竟依着平时习性使用，忘了箭数有限，待得惊觉箭已用完，疾忙回马，俯身去拾地下箭枝。 哲别瞧得亲切，嗖的一箭，响声未歇，羽箭已中博尔朮后心。旁观众人惊叫起来，但说也奇怪，这一箭虽然劲力奇大，把博尔朮后心撞得一阵疼痛，但竟透不进去，滑在地下。博尔朮顺手将箭拾起，一看之下，那箭头竟是被哲别拗去了的，原来是手下留情。他翻上马背，叫道：“我是为大汗报仇，不领你这个情！” 哲别道：“哲别向来不饶敌人！刚才这一箭是一命换一命！” 铁木真见博尔朮背上中箭，心里一阵剧烈酸痛，待见他竟然不死，不禁大喜若狂，这时便要他将部族中成千成万的牛羊马匹都拿出去换博尔朮的性命，他也毫不犹豫的换了，听哲别如此说，忙道：“好，大家别比了。他一命换你一命。” 哲别道：“不是换我的命。”铁木真道：“甚么？”哲别指着站在屋门口的郭靖，说道：“换他的性命！求大汗别难为这孩子。至于我，”他眉毛一扬，道：“我射伤大汗，罪有应得。博尔朮，你来吧！”伸手拔下肩头羽箭，血淋淋的搭在弓上。 这时博尔朮的部下早已呈上六袋羽箭，博尔朮道：“好，咱们再比过！”嗖嗖嗖嗖，一阵连珠急射。前箭后箭几乎相续，在空中便如接成了一条箭链。 哲别见来势甚急，一个镫里藏身，钻到了马腹之下，斜眼觑准，一箭往博尔朮肚上射去，那白口名驹见羽箭疾到，不待主人拉缰，往左急闪。哪知哲别这一箭来势奇快，非比平常，噗的一声，插入名驹脑袋，那马登时滚倒在地。 博尔朮卧在地下，怕他追击，反身一箭，将哲别手中硬弓的弓杆劈为两截。哲别失了武器，更无还击之能，心中暗暗叫苦，只得纵马曲曲折折的奔跑闪避。蒙古众军士齐声呐喊，为博尔朮助威。博尔朮心想：“此人真是一条好汉子！”不禁起了英雄惜英雄之心，不欲伤他性命，搭箭上弓，瞄准他后心，运足了劲，一箭飞去。 当真是将军神箭，更无虚发，那箭正中哲别后颈。哲别身子一晃，摔下马来，那箭掉在他身畔，却原来箭头也是拗去了的。博尔朮又抽一枝箭搭在弓上，对准了哲别，转头对铁木真道：“大汗，求你开恩，饶了他罢！” 铁木真看到这时，早已爱惜哲别神勇，叫道：“你还不投降吗？”哲别望着铁木真威风凛凛的神态，不禁折服倾倒，奔将过来，跪倒在地。铁木真哈哈大笑，道：“好好，以后你跟着我罢！” 蒙古人表达心情，多喜唱歌。哲别拜伏在地，大声唱了起来：“大汗饶我一命，以后赴汤蹈火，我也愿意。横断黑水，粉碎岩石，扶保大汗。征讨外敌，挖取人心！叫我到哪里，我就到哪里。为大汗冲锋陷阵，奔驰万里，日夜不停！” 铁木真大喜，取出两块金子，赏给博尔朮一块，给哲别一块。哲别谢了，道：“大汗，我转送给这孩子，可以吗？”铁木真笑道：“是我
Duan Tian dragged Li Ping away and rushed out. When he turned around and saw that no one was chasing him out of the temple, he felt relieved. He ran to the river and saw a small boat. He jumped on the bow and raised his knife to order the boatman to sail.Jiangnan is a land of water, the rivers are dense like cobwebs, and boats are common means of transportation, just like horses and mule carts in the north, so there has always been a saying that "people in the north ride horses, and people in the south take boats".Seeing that he was a vicious military officer, the boatman would not dare to disobey him, so he immediately let go of the rope and rowed the oar, and drove the boat out of the city. Duan Tiande thought to himself: "I have caused this catastrophe, if I go back to Lin'an, if nothing else, my uncle will take my life immediately, so I have to go to the north to avoid the limelight. It is best that the thief and the seven monsters in the south of the Yangtze He was seriously injured and died, and my uncle was so angry that he died, and it will not be too late to go back to be an official." Now he supervised the boatman all the way to the north.Although Han Baoju's horse traveled fast, but he searched here and there on the dry road, naturally he couldn't find him. Duan Tiande changed the boat several times, changed his officer's attire, and forced Li Ping to change his clothes as well.More than ten days later, I crossed the river and came to Yangzhou. I invested in an inn. I was about to settle down for a temporary residence. It happened that I heard someone asking the owner of the inn for my whereabouts.Duan Tiande was taken aback, and looked through the crack of the door. He saw an ugly short fat man and a beautiful girl. Both of them spoke Jiaxing dialect. They were supposed to be characters from the Jiangnan Seven Monsters. Fortunately, the manager of Yangzhou didn't know much about the two. The two sides couldn't understand what they were talking about for a while, so they hurriedly pulled Li Ping, slipped out through the back door, and hired a boat. He didn't dare to stay for a while, went north along the canal, and arrived at Liguo Post by Weishan Lake in Shandong Province in one breath. Li Ping has thick hands and big feet, and his appearance was originally ugly. At this time, his belly was swollen, and he was cursing and crying all day long. Although Duan Tiande is a low-grade child, he has no intention of indecent treatment of him.The two face each other every day, they just fight and scold each other, and there is no peace for a moment. After a few days, the short fat man and the girl came after them again.Duan Tiande just wanted to hide quietly in the house, but Li Ping yelled loudly when he learned that the savior was coming.Duan Tiande hurriedly stuffed her mouth with a quilt and beat her hard, Li Ping desperately struggled and screamed, although Han Baoju and Xiaoying brothers and sisters didn't find out, it was already in danger. Duan Tiande took her to escape, he originally wanted to use her as a hostage, so that the enemy would not dare to press too hard in a critical situation, but the situation has changed, he thought that it would be easy to escape alone, it would be a big mistake to keep this shrew by his side It is better to kill the troublesome child with one knife, clean hands and feet, and draw out the knife immediately after the Han brothers and sisters leave. Li Ping is always looking for opportunities to die with this husband-killer and enemy, but every night when she sleeps, she is bound by his hands and feet, making it difficult for her to do so. At this time, seeing his fierce eyes, she secretly prayed: "Brother Xiao, brother Xiao, please protect me from the ghost spirit, teach me to slash this villain with my hands. I'm here to meet you." Immediately, he took out the dagger that Qiu Chuji gave him from his bosom.She hid the dagger close to the flesh, but Duan Tiande did not search for it. Duan Tiande sneered, raised his knife and chopped it down.Li Ping had made up her mind to die, she did not fear at all, she used all her strength to stab Duan Tiande with her dagger.Duan Tiande only felt the cold air approaching his face, he swung his saber back and wanted to knock off the dagger, but he didn't realize that the dagger was extremely sharp, he heard a clang, half of the waist saber snapped and fell to the ground, the dagger had already reached the tip on his chest.Duan Tiande was terrified, he fell back, and with a sneer, a big slit was cut on the clothes on his chest, and a long bloodstain was cut from his chest to his abdomen. The catastrophe of breaking the chest and disembowelling.Panicked, he quickly raised his chair to block him, and shouted, "Put away the knife, I won't kill you!" Li Ping's hands were sore and her body was weak at this time, and at the same time the fetus in her womb kept beating, Unable to fight with him, he sat on the ground and gasped for breath, but held on to the dagger tightly in his hand. Duan Tiande was afraid that Han Baoju would come back later, he would run away alone, and he was also afraid that Li Ping would reveal his whereabouts to the enemy, so he hurriedly forced her to board the boat and set off again, still going north along the canal, via Linqing and Dezhou, and arrived in Hebei territory. Every time I go to live in Lu, no matter how remote it is, after a while, someone always looks for him. Later, in addition to the short fat man and the woman, there is another blind man holding an iron staff. Finally, these three people don't recognize him. He was in the light while the other party was in the dark, so he had to be able to dodge in time, but he was already in danger. Not long after, another big headache happened. Li Ping suddenly went crazy. In the inn and on the journey, she babbled nonsense loudly, attracting attention, sometimes tearing her hair and clothes, showing a lot of strange appearances.At the beginning, Duan Tiande also said that she had undergone great changes and became confused, but after a few days, she suddenly realized that she was afraid that the pursuers would lose their clues, so she deliberately left traces. Difficult.At this time, the heat of summer was over and the golden wind was beginning to blow. Duan Tiande evaded the pursuit and had gone as far as the northern country. The silver he was carrying was almost used up, but the enemy was still chasing after him. Money fan, what a joy, coveting other people's money for no reason, going to Niujia Village to kill the vicious robber husband of the vicious woman, but to suffer this living crime." Several times he wanted to leave Li Ping and sneak away by himself. , but after thinking about it, he never dared to plot harm to her, but he never succeeded again.This amulet turned into a big burden that could not be shaken off or killed, but it was extremely distressing to have to fear her to avenge her husband's murder. Not one day later, he came to Yanjing, the capital of the Kingdom of Jin. Duan Tiande thought to himself that the capital of the Kingdom of Jin has many people, so he should find a secluded place to hide. I can't reach myself anymore. He was full of wishful thinking, but just as he arrived at the gate of the city, a group of golden soldiers came out of the city, without asking the reason, they arrested the two and forced them to bear the burden.Li Ping was short in stature, and Jin Bing gave her a lighter burden.On Duan Tiande's shoulders was a heavy burden of about one hundred catties, which only made him cry uncontrollably. The group of golden soldiers followed an official all the way north.It turned out that the official was an envoy sent to the Mongolian tribe to announce the edict of the Lord Jin.The escorting Jin soldiers randomly took the Han people as porters to carry luggage and food.Duan Tiande defended a few words, Jin Bing's leather whip was whipped down.He has experienced a lot of situations like this, it's not surprising, it's just that he has always whipped the people's heads with the whip, but today it is Jin Bing who whipped his own head with the whip.The whip is the same, but the head is quite different. At this time, Li Ping's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and she was exhausted from carrying the burden and trekking, but she was determined to kill her enemies, and tried her best to cover up along the way to prevent Jin Bing from discovering her flaws. , and his body is very strong, he immediately risked his life and tried his best to support it.For dozens of days, he walked in the bitter cold of the desert. Although it was October at this time, it was extremely cold in the northern country. On this day, the sky was covered with snowflakes, and the yellow sand was vast, and there was nowhere to hide from the wind and snow.More than three hundred people lined up and marched on the vast wilderness.While walking, suddenly there was a faint shout from the north, and in the dust, there were thousands of horses galloping, and countless soldiers and horses rushing forward. While everyone was panicking, a large group of soldiers and horses had rushed over, but they were a group of defeated soldiers.The soldiers will be wearing furs, and they don't know what tribe they are from Mobei, but seeing the chaos in the ranks, the soldiers are throwing bows and guns, rushing to be the first, everyone's face is panicked.Some of them lost their horses and ran wildly on foot, only to be rushed up by the horsemen behind them, and fell under the hooves of the horses in a blink of an eye. Seeing that the defeated army was strong, the officers and soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin scattered and fled in all directions.Li Ping was originally with Duan Tiande, but the defeated soldiers came like a tide, and Duan Tiande disappeared in the midst of the chaos.Li Ping threw down her burden and fled desperately to a place where there were few people. Fortunately, everyone just wanted to escape, but no one hurt her.
She ran for a while, only to feel pain in her abdomen, unable to hold on any longer, fell down behind a sand dune, and passed out.After a long, long time, Yoyo woke up, and seemed to hear the sound of a baby crying in a coma.She was still in a daze, not knowing whether she had returned to the underworld or was still in the world, but her son's cries became louder and louder, and when she moved, she suddenly felt something warm in her crotch.It was already midnight, the snow had just stopped, and a bright moon came out from among the clouds. She suddenly woke up, and couldn't help crying bitterly. She quickly sat up, picked up the baby, saw that it was a boy, she shed tears of joy, immediately bit off the umbilical cord with her teeth, and hugged the baby close to the flesh.Under the moonlight, the child had thick eyebrows and big eyes, his voice was loud and clear, and his face vaguely resembled that of his deceased husband.She lay a child in the snow, and she had to die, but when she saw the child, she somehow generated strength, struggled to get up, and hid in a shallow pit next to the sand dune to avoid the wind and cold. Looking at the baby, she thought of her dead husband, Can't help but have mixed feelings. I hid in the sandpit for one night, and at noon the next day, I heard no sound from all around, and bravely went out, only to see dead people and horses everywhere, in the yellow sand and white snow, full of knives, guns, bows and arrows, looking around , there is no living person. She found some dry food from the dead soldier's rucksack to eat, and found a fire knife and flint from the dead soldier, cut a piece of horse meat, and lit a fire to roast it.He took off the dead soldier's fur, wrapped the child in one, and put on another for himself.Fortunately, the weather was extremely cold, and the body did not rot. She ate horse meat and endured ten days on the battlefield. Her energy gradually recovered, she took her child, and walked eastward.At this time, she was holding her own child in her arms, and the bitterly hated Duan Tiande was nowhere to be found, the original grief and resentment suddenly turned into tenderness and love, the wind and sand in the desert were like knives, she only wished not to blow the child's face, I don't think it hurts at all. After walking for a few days, there are more and more vegetation underground. It was getting late, and suddenly I saw two horses galloping ahead.When the rider saw her appearance, he reined in his horse and asked.She talked and compared, and told about meeting defeated soldiers and Xue Di'er.Those two were Mongolian herdsmen. Although they didn't understand her language, the Mongolians were hospitable by nature and cared for the poor and orphans. Seeing that her mother and child were pitiful, they invited her to the yurt to have a good meal and a good night's sleep.The Mongols lived as nomads. They drove their livestock to move eastward and westward, chasing aquatic plants, and did not settle down. They built tents with felt to shelter them from the wind and snow. They were called yurts.The herdsmen left her four lambs when they left. Li Ping worked hard to raise the baby and survived in the desert.She built a thatched hut with branches next to the water plants, raised livestock, spun woolen thread and weaved felt, and exchanged grain with the shepherds. A few years later, the child is already six years old.According to her husband's will, Li Ping named him Guo Jing.The child was slow to learn words, and he was a little dumb. He could not speak until he was four years old. Fortunately, his muscles and bones were strong, and he was able to herd cattle and sheep on the grassland.The mother and the son depended on each other, worked diligently, the number of livestock increased, and their livelihood became better. They both learned Mongolian, but the mother and son talked, but they still spoke the language of Lin'an's hometown.Li Ping looked at his son's simple-minded appearance, and said something like "sheep and horse", all with his native Lin'an dialect, and could not help but feel sad: "Your father is a hero from Shandong, so you should also speak Shandong dialect." It's a pity that my time with your father is too short, and I haven't learned how to roll his tongue, so I can't teach you."
It was October this year, and the weather was getting colder. Guo Jing rode a pony and took a shepherd dog out to herd the sheep.At noon, a black eagle flew in the air and swooped down on the flock of sheep. A frightened lamb ran eastward.Guo Jing kept yelling, but the lamb ran away without looking back. He hurriedly rode on the pony and chased after it. After seven or eight miles, he overtook the lamb. He was about to bring the lamb back when suddenly there was a faint rumbling sound in front of him.Guo Jing was taken aback, he didn't know what it was in his little mind, he thought maybe it was thunder.I could only hear the sound of thunder getting louder and louder, and after a while, I heard the roar of people and horses neighing in the middle of the rumbling. He had never heard such a sound before, and he was frightened. He hurriedly led the pony and lamb, walked up a dirt hill, got into the bushes, and poked his head out after hiding. In the distance, the sky was covered with dust, and countless army horses galloped towards them. The leader of the team gave orders, and the army horses lined up in formations, one team to the east, one team to the west, countless.Some of the soldiers will have white turbans wrapped around their heads, and some will have five-color feathers.Guo Jing was no longer afraid at this moment, and was very happy to watch. After a while, I suddenly heard the sound of horns several miles away from the left, and several rows of soldiers and horses rushed over. The leading general was a thin and thin young man with a red cloak on his body, holding a long knife high, leading the charge.Soldiers and horses from both sides rushed close and began to fight.The attacking team had very few people, and soon they could not resist the enemy and retreated, and reinforcements arrived from behind, and the fighting was loud and loud.Seeing that the attacking soldiers and horses were about to be unable to hold on, suddenly dozens of horns blew in unison, and there was a burst of drumming. The attacking soldiers cheered loudly: "Tiemujin's sweat is coming, sweat is coming!" They kept fighting, but kept turning their heads to look east. Guo Jing followed everyone's gaze, and saw a group of people galloping towards the sky covered by yellow sand. The group held up a long pole with a few clumps of white hair hanging on it.The cheers came from far and near, the attacking soldiers and horses were full of courage, and the soldiers and horses who arrived first were scattered.The long pole moved straight towards the mound, Guo Jing hurriedly retreated to the depths of the bushes, his small eyes were still looking out, and saw a tall, middle-aged man galloping up the mound.He was wearing an iron helmet, with a brown beard growing under his chin, his eyes rolled away, and he was naked.Guo Jing didn't know that he was Temujin, the chief of the Mongolian tribe. Even if he knew, he didn't know what "Great Khan" was. Temujin rode on his horse and stared at the battle situation at the bottom of the mountain, with more than ten followers beside him.After a while, the young general in a red cloak galloped up the mountain and shouted: "Father, the number of enemies is large, let's retreat!" Temujin had seen the situation clearly at this time, and said in a low voice, "You lead the team to retreat eastward!" He watched the soldiers and horses fighting on both sides with both eyes, and sent an order in his mouth: "Mu Huali, you and the second prince lead the team to the east." Retreat to the west. Boershu, you and Chilaowen lead the team to retreat to the north. Kubilai, you and Subotai lead the team to retreat to the south. Seeing the big flag raised high and the horn blowing, turn back and charge together." Generals They agreed in unison, and led their subordinates down the mountain. After a while, the Mongolian soldiers retreated in all directions. The enemy soldiers cheered in unison, seeing that Temujin's white-haired banner was still erected on the mountain, they shouted from all directions: "Catch Temujin alive, catch Temujin alive!" Ignore the Mongolian soldiers who retreated around.Thousands of horses trampled on the sand and raised dust, and clouds of yellow mist rose around the earth mountain. Temujin stood on the high place of the earth mountain, motionless, and more than a dozen powerful soldiers raised their iron shields to block the incoming crossbow arrows around him.Temujin's brother-in-law Kuduhu and the fierce general Lemi led 3,000 elite soldiers to guard around the mountain, shooting arrows and knives, and steadfastly defending. The sound of killing in the shadow of swords and spears shook the sky.Guo Jing was excited and scared at the same time. The fierce battle lasted for more than half an hour. Tens of thousands of enemy soldiers attacked in turn. Temujin's 3,000 elite soldiers had more than 400 casualties, and more than 1,000 enemy soldiers were also killed by them.Temujin looked around, but saw the corpses of the enemy soldiers strewn all over the field, and the horses with no one on their saddles galloping in all directions, but the feathered arrows shot by the enemy soldiers were still powerful.Seeing that the enemy soldiers were attacking fiercely in the northeast corner, and the defenders were gradually unable to resist, Temujin's third son, O Kuotai, was very anxious and asked, "Daddy, can you raise your banner and blow the trumpet?" Temujin's eyes widened. Like an eagle, he looked at the enemy soldiers down the mountain without blinking, and said in a low voice: "The enemy soldiers are not tired yet!" At this time, the enemy army mobilized heavy troops on the northeast corner to attack fiercely, and erected three black banners. Obviously, three generals were there to supervise the battle.The Mongolian soldiers retreated gradually.Jaremi ran up the hill and shouted, "Khan, the children can't resist!" Temujin said angrily, "Can't stop? What kind of hero are you praising?" Zhe Lemi's face changed color, and he snatched a big knife from the sergeant's hand. He He screamed wildly, rushed into the enemy's formation, cut a bloody path, and rushed straight to the front of the black flag.Seeing his ferocious approach, the enemy general reined in his horse and retreated.Zhe Lemi raised his sword and hacked to death the three big men holding banners one by one. He threw down the sword, hugged the three black banners with both hands and went back to the mountain, turned them upside down and inserted them into the soil.The enemy soldiers were shocked to see him so brave.The Mongolian soldiers cheered and screamed, and blocked the gap in the northeast corner again. After fighting for a long time, suddenly a black-robed general from the enemy army on the southwest corner came out from the crowd, and shot down more than ten Mongolian soldiers one after another.Two Mongolian generals rushed forward with spears, but he swished two arrows and knocked them off their horses.Temujin boasted: "Good arrow skills!" Before he finished speaking, the black-robed general rushed close to the mound. At the sound of the bowstring, an arrow was shot directly at Temujin's neck, and then another arrow was shot straight at Tiemuzhen. Muzhen shoots from the belly. Temujin was hit by an arrow in his left neck, and seeing another arrow coming, he hurriedly raised the reins of the horse, and the horse stood up quickly. The arrow was so powerful that it pierced through the horse's chest and went straight through the feathers, and the horse fell to the ground.When the Mongolian army saw that the coach fell off his horse with an arrow, everyone was shocked.Amidst the shouts of the enemy army, they rushed up like a tide.Wo Kuotai pulled out the arrow feathers from his neck for his father, and tore off his clothes to bind his wounds.Temujin shouted: "Leave me alone, guard the mountain pass." Okuotai obeyed his orders, turned around, drew arrows and shot down two enemy soldiers. Hu Duhu led his troops to fight from the west, but they lost all their arrows and had to retreat.Jeremy's eyes turned red, and he shouted: "Kuduhu, run away like a rabbit?" Kuduhu laughed and said, "Who is running away? I have no arrows." Temujin sat down on the ground and took out his quiver He took out a feather arrow and threw it over.Hu Duhu took the arrow, the bowstring rang repeatedly, and a general under the opposite black flag was hit by the arrow and fell off the horse.Hudu Hu rushed down the mountain, snatched the general's horse, and came back up the mountain. Temujin praised: "Good brother, I really have you!" Kuduhu was covered in blood, and said in a low voice: "Can I hold up the banner and blow the horn?" Flowing from the palm of his hand, he said: "The enemy army is not tired yet, let's support for a while." Kuduhu knelt down and begged: "We are willing to die for you, but you are the most important Khan." Temujin led a horse, struggled to get on the saddle, and shouted: "Everyone hold on tight!" He swung his long knife and killed three enemy soldiers rushing up the hill.Seeing Temujin remounting his horse suddenly, the enemy couldn't help being overwhelmed by it, and retreated down the mountain in defeat, slowing down their attack. Temujin saw that the enemy's strength was weakening, so he shouted, "Raise the flag and blow the trumpet!" Amidst the shouts of the Mongolian soldiers, a guard stood on his horse, held up the white-haired banner, and blew the horn.The sound of killing was loud all around, and rows of Mongolian soldiers in the distance rushed towards them like thunder. Although there were many enemy troops, they all gathered around the earth hill to attack. The troops on the outside collapsed, and you pushed each other in the middle, making a mess.Seeing that the momentum was wrong, the black-robed general yelled orders to restrain him, but the formation was in disarray, and the soldiers had no fighting spirit. In less than half an hour, the army was blown to pieces, large groups were annihilated, and small groups fled.The black-robed general rode a black horse and fled away. Temujin shouted: "Those who catch this thief will be rewarded with three catties of gold." Dozens of Mongolian athletes chased after him.The black-robed general fired all his arrows, and he fell off his horse, shooting down more than ten people in one breath.The rest of the people did not dare to approach, they were urged to gallop by him, but they escaped. Guo Jing hid in the bushes and saw it from a distance, and he admired the black-robed general in his heart. This battle Temujin won a complete victory, annihilating more than half of the world's enemies, the Tayichiwu tribe. Today, Fang Xue was bleeding from the wound on her neck in this great enmity, but she was happy in her heart and couldn't help laughing.All the soldiers cheered loudly, embraced the sweat and retreated triumphantly.
Guo Jing waited for the crowd to go away, and the soldiers who cleared the battlefield also returned because it was dark, so he slipped out from the bushes, and it was midnight when he got home, and his mother was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, not knowing what to do, Seeing his son come back, he was overjoyed from heaven.When Guo Jing talked about what he saw just now, although he stuttered and couldn't speak clearly, he still gave a general idea.Li Ping saw that he was beaming with joy and showed no signs of fear. She thought that although the child is young and clumsy, he will be the queen of the family, but he has a fatherly style, so she couldn't help being both happy and sad. On the morning of the third day, Li Ping took the two felts she had woven by hand and went to the market thirty miles away to exchange food.Guo Jing was herding the sheep outside the door, recalling the fierce battle he saw on the dirt hill the day before yesterday, he thought it was extremely amusing, raised the whip for driving the sheep, rode on the horse as a general, yelled loudly, and drove the flock of sheep, he felt like a great general Leading troops to fight in general. I was having fun when I suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes in the east. One of the horses walked up and down slowly, and one person on the horse's back bowed his head on the saddle.The horse walked closer and stopped, and immediately the man raised his head.Guo Jing was startled and couldn't help screaming. 只见那人满脸又是泥沙，又是血污，正是前日所见的那个黑袍将军。他左手拿着一柄刀头已断的半截马刀，刀上凝结了紫红的血渍，力杀追敌的弓箭却已不知去向，想是前日逃脱后又曾遭遇过敌人。右颊上老大一个伤口，正不住流血，马腿上也受了伤。只见他身子摇晃，眼中布满红丝，嘶嗄了声音叫道：“水，水……给我水？” 郭靖忙进屋去，在水缸里舀了一碗清水，捧到门口。那人夹手夺过，咕嘟咕嘟全喝了下去，说道：“再拿一碗来！”郭靖又去倒了一碗。那人喝到一半，脸上血水滴在碗里，半碗清水全成红色。那人哈哈一笑，忽然脸上筋肉扭动，一个倒栽葱跌下马来，晕了过去。 郭靖大声惊呼，不知如何是好。过了一阵，那人悠悠醒转，叫道：“你给马喝水，有吃的没有？”郭靖拿了几块熟羊肉给他吃了，又提水给马饮了。 那人一顿大嚼，登时精神勃勃，一骨碌跳起身来，叫道：“好兄弟，多谢你！”从手腕上褪下一只粗大的黄金镯子，递给郭靖，道：“给你！”郭靖摇头道：“妈妈说的，应当接待客人，不可要客人东西。”那人哈哈大笑，叫道：“好孩子，好孩子！”将金镯套回手腕，撕下半幅衣襟，包扎好自己脸上与马腿的伤口。 突然东边隐隐传来马群奔驰之声，那人满脸怒容，喝道：“哼，竟是放不过我！”两人出门向东遥望，见远处尘土飞扬，人马不计其数，正向这里奔来。 那人道：“好孩子，你家里有弓箭吗？”郭靖道：“有！”转身入内。那人听了，脸露喜色，却见郭靖拿了自己玩耍的小弓小箭出来。那人哈哈一笑，随即眉头一皱，道：“我要跟人打仗，要大的！”郭靖摇了摇头。 这时追兵愈来愈近，远远已望得见旗帜晃动。那人心想坐骑受伤，大漠上奔逃不远，在此处躲藏虽然危险，却已无第二条路可走，便道：“我一个人打他们不过，要躲起来。”眼见茅屋内外实是无地可躲，情势紧迫，便向屋旁一个大干草堆指了指，说道：“我躲在这里。你把我的马赶得越远越好。你也远远躲了开去，别让他们见到。”说着钻进了干草堆中。蒙古人一过炎夏，便割草堆积，冬日饲养牲口，烧火取暖，全凭干草，是以草堆往往比住人的蒙古包还大。那将军躲入了草堆，若非仔细搜索，倒也不易发觉。 郭靖在黑马臀上刷刷两鞭，那黑马纵蹄狂奔，跑得远远的才停下来吃草。郭靖骑了小马，向西驰去。 追兵望见有人，两名军士骑马赶来。郭靖的小马奔跑不快，不久便给追上了。两名军士喝问：“孩子，见到一个骑黑马的汉子吗？”郭靖不会说谎，张大了嘴不答。两名军士又问几句，见他傻里傻气，始终不答，便道：“带他见大王子去！”拉着小马的缰绳，将他带到茅屋之前。 郭靖心中打定了主意：“我只是不说。”只见无数蒙古战士簇拥着一个身披红色斗篷的瘦长青年。郭靖记得他的脸孔，这人昨天曾领兵大战，士卒个个听他号令，知道他是黑袍将军的敌人。那大王子大声喝道：“小孩怎么说？”两名军士道：“这小孩吓坏了，话也不会说。”大王子凝目四望，突然见到那匹黑马在远处吃草，低沉了声音道：“是他的马吗？去拉来瞧瞧。”十名蒙古兵分成五组，从五个不同的方向悄悄朝黑马围去。待那黑马惊觉，昂头想逃，已没了去路。 大王子见了牵过来的黑马，哼了一声道：“这不是哲别的马吗？”众军士齐声道：“正是！”大王子提起马鞭，刷的一声，在郭靖的小脑袋上抽了一下，喝道：“他躲在哪里？快说。你可别想骗我！” 哲别躲在干草堆里，手中紧紧握住长刀，眼见郭靖吃了一鞭，额上登时起了一道殷红的血痕，心中突突乱跳。他知这人是铁木真的长子朮赤，残酷狠辣，名闻大漠，心想孩子定会受不住恐吓而说了出来，那只有跳出来决死一拚。 郭靖痛得要哭，却拚命忍住眼泪，昂头道：“你为甚么打我？我又没做坏事！”他只知做了坏事才该挨打。朮赤怒道：“你还倔强！”刷的又是一鞭，郭靖大哭起来。 这时众兵丁已在郭靖家中搜查一过，两名军士挺着长矛往干草堆中乱刺，幸好那草堆甚大，没刺到哲别藏身的所在。 朮赤道：“坐骑在这里，他一定不会逃远。小孩，你说不说？”刷刷刷，接连又是三鞭。郭靖伸手想去抓他鞭子，却哪里抓得着？ 突然间远处号角声响，众军士道：“大汗来啦！”朮赤住手不打，拍马迎了上去。众军士拥着铁木真驰来。朮赤迎上去叫了一声：“爹爹！” 前日铁木真被哲别这一箭射得伤势极重，在激战时强行忍住，收兵之后，竟痛晕了数次。大将者勒米和铁木真的三子窝阔台轮流用口吸吮他创口瘀血，或咽或吐。众将士与他的四个儿子在床边守候了一夜，到第二日清晨，方脱险境。 蒙古兵侦骑四出，众人立誓要抓住哲别，将他四马裂体，乱刀分尸，为大汗报那一箭之仇。第二日傍晚，一小队蒙古兵终于遇上哲别，却被他杀伤数人逃脱，但哲别也受了伤。铁木真得讯，先派长子追赶，再亲率次子察合台、三子窝阔台、幼子拖雷一齐赶来。 朮赤向黑马一指，道：“爹爹，找到那贼子的黑马啦！”铁木真道：“我不要马，要人。”朮赤道：“是，咱们一定能找到。”奔回到郭靖面前，拔出腰刀，在空中虚劈两刀，喝道：“你说不说？”郭靖被他打得满脸是血，反而更加倔强，不住叫道：“我不说，我不说！”铁木真听这孩子说话天真，不说“不知道”而说“我不说”，那必是知晓哲别的所在，低声对三子窝阔台道：“你去骗这小孩说出来。” 窝阔台笑嘻嘻的走到郭靖面前，从自己头盔上拔下两根金碧辉煌的孔雀翎毛，拿在手里，笑道：“你说出来，我把这个给你。”郭靖仍道：“我不说。” 铁木真的二子察合台道：“放狗！”他的随从军士当即从后队牵了六头巨獒过来。 蒙古人性喜打猎，酋长贵人无不畜养猎犬猎鹰。察合台尤其爱狗，这次追踪哲别，正用得着猎狗，是以带了六头獒犬，这时放将出来，先命六犬环绕着黑马周围一阵乱嗅，然后找寻哲别藏身的所在。六头巨獒汪汪吠叫，在茅屋中不住的奔进奔出。 郭靖与哲别本不相识，但前日见他在战阵英勇异常，不禁钦佩，而给朮赤抽了这几鞭之后，心里怒极，激发了天性中的一股倔强之气，呼哨一声，呼出自己的牧羊犬来。这时察合台的六犬已快嗅到干草堆前，那牧羊犬听了郭靖的号令，守在草堆前，不许六犬过去。察合台大声呼叱，六头巨犬同时扑了上去，一时犬吠之声大作，七头狗狂吠乱咬的打了起来。那牧羊犬身形既小，又是以一敌六，转瞬间就被咬得遍体鳞伤，可是十分勇敢，竟自不退，负隅死斗。郭靖一面哭，一面呼喝着鼓励爱犬力战。铁木真和窝阔台等见状，早知哲别必是躲在草堆之中，都笑吟吟的瞧着七犬相斗。 朮赤大怒，举起马鞭又是刷刷数鞭，打得郭靖痛彻心肺。他满地打滚，滚到朮赤身边，忽地跃起，抱住他的右腿，死命不放。朮赤用力一抖，哪知这孩子抱得紧极，竟自抖不下来。察合台、窝阔台、拖雷三人见了兄长的狼狈样子，都哈哈大笑起来，铁木真也不禁莞尔，朮赤胀红了脸，拔出腰间长刀，往郭靖头顶劈了下去。眼见这孩子就要身首异处，突然草堆中一柄断头马刀疾伸出来，当啷一声，双刀相交，朮赤只觉手里一震，险些把捏不定。众军士齐声呼叫，哲别已从草堆里跃了出来。 他左手将郭靖一扯，拉到身后，冷笑道：“欺侮孩子，不害臊吗？”众军士刀矛齐举，围在哲别身周。哲别见无可抵挡，抛下手中马刀。朮赤上去当胸一拳，哲别并不还手，喝道：“快杀我！”随即低沉了声音道：“可惜我不能死在英雄好汉手里！” 铁木真道：“你说甚么？”哲别道：“要是我在战场之上，被胜过我的好汉杀了，那是死得心甘情愿。现今却是大鹰落在地下，被蚂蚁咬死！”说着圆睁双眼，猛喝一声。察合台的六犬已把牧羊犬压在地下乱咬，斗然间听到这一声威猛异常的大喝，吓得一齐跳起身来，尾巴夹在后腿之间，畏畏缩缩的逃开。 铁木真身旁闪出一人，叫道：“大汗，别让这小子夸口，我来斗他。”铁木真见是大将博尔朮，心中甚喜，道：“好，你跟他比比。咱们别的没有，有的是英雄好汉。” 博尔朮上前数步，喝道：“我一个人杀你，教你死得心甘情愿。”哲别见他身材魁梧，声音洪亮，喝道：“你是谁？”博尔朮道：“我是博尔朮。你没听见过吗？”哲别心中一凛：“早听说博尔朮是蒙古人中的英雄，原来是他。”横目斜睨，哼了一声。 铁木真道：“你自夸弓箭了得，人家叫你做哲别。你就和我这好朋友比比箭吧。”蒙古语中，“哲别”两字既指“枪矛”，又是“神箭手”之意。哲别本来另有名字，只因他箭法如神，人人叫他哲别，真名反而无人知晓了。 哲别听铁木真叫博尔朮为“好朋友”，叫道：“你是大汗的好朋友，我先杀了你。”蒙古众军士听了，都哈哈大笑起来。人人都知博尔朮武艺精熟，所向无敌，威名扬于大漠，众人虽见过哲别的箭法高强，但说要杀博尔朮，那真叫做不自量力了。
当初铁木真年轻之时，被仇敌泰亦赤兀部人捉去，头颈里套了木枷。泰亦赤兀部众在斡难河滨宴会，一面喝酒，一面用马鞭抽打，要恣意侮辱他之后，再加杀害。后来与宴人众喝得大醉，铁木真用枷头打晕了看守兵卒，逃入树林之中。 泰亦赤兀人大举挨户搜查。有一个青年名叫赤老温，不怕危险，仗义留他，将他木枷打碎，放在火里烧毁，把他藏在一辆装羊毛的大车之中。追兵在赤老温家里到处搜查，搜到大车前，拉去了几把羊毛，快要露出铁木真的脚了。赤老温的父亲情急智生，笑道：“这样大热天，羊毛里怎么能藏人？热也热死了他。”其时正当盛暑，人人汗下如雨，追兵心想有理，这才放过不搜。铁木真生平经历危难无数，以这一次最是千钧一发的大险。 铁木真逃得性命后狼狈之极，与母亲弟弟靠捕杀野鼠过活。 有一天，他养的八匹白马又被别的部落盗了去，铁木真单身去追，遇到一个青年在挤马奶。铁木真问起盗贼的消息。那青年就是博尔朮，说道：“男儿的苦难都是一样，我和你结成朋友。”两人骑马一起追赶，追了三天，赶上盗马的部落。两人箭无虚发，杀败数百名敌人，把八匹马夺回。铁木真要分马给他，问他要几匹。博尔朮道：“我为好朋友出力，一匹马也不要。”自此两人一同创业，铁木真一直叫他做好朋友，实是患难之交。 博尔朮、赤老温两人，连同木华黎、博尔忽，并为蒙古的开国四大功臣。
铁木真素知博尔朮箭法如神，取下自己腰里弓箭递给了他，随即跳下马来，说道：“你骑我的马，用我的弓箭，就算是我射杀了他。”博尔朮道：“遵命！”左手持弓，右手拿箭，跃上铁木真的白口宝马。铁木真对窝阔台道：“你把坐骑借给哲别。”窝阔台道：“便宜了他。”跃下马来，一名亲兵将马牵给哲别。 哲别跃上马背，向铁木真道：“我已被你围住，你要杀我，便如是宰羊一般容易。你既放我与他比箭，我不能不知好歹，再与他平比。我只要一张弓，不用箭。” 博尔朮怒道：“你不用箭？”哲别道：“不错，我一张空弓也能杀得了你！” 蒙古众军士又大声鼓噪起来：“这家伙好会吹大气。”铁木真吩咐取一张好弓给他。 博尔朮在阵上见过哲别的本事，知他箭法了得，本来不敢怠慢，但他此刻有弓无箭，箭法再高，却又如何施展？料知他必是要接了自己射去的羽箭使用，两腿一夹，胯下的白口宝马拨剌剌的跑了开去。这匹马奔跑迅速，久经战阵，在战场上乘者双腿稍加示意，即能进退自如，铁木真向来十分喜爱。 哲别见对手马快，当下勒马反走，博尔朮弯弓搭箭，嗖的一声，发箭往哲别头颈射去。哲别侧过身子，眼明手快，抓住了箭尾。博尔朮暗叫一声：“好！”又是一箭。哲别听得箭声，知道来势甚急，不能手接，俯低身子，伏在鞍上，那箭从头顶擦了过去。他当即纵马前奔，仰身坐直，哪知博尔朮有一手连珠箭神技，嗤嗤两箭，接着从两侧射来。哲别料不到对方如此厉害，猛地溜下马鞍，右足钩住镫子，身子几乎着地，那坐骑跑得正急，把他拖得犹如一只傍地飞舞的纸鹞一般。他腰间一扭，身子刚转过一半，已将适才接来的箭扣上弓弦，拉弦射出，羽箭向博尔朮肚腹上射去，随即又翻背上马。 博尔朮喝声：“好！”觑准来箭，也是一箭射出，双箭箭头相撞，但余势不衰，斜飞出去，都插入沙地之中。铁木真与众人齐声喝彩。 博尔朮虚拉一弓，待哲别往右边闪避，突然发箭向右射去。哲别左手拿弓轻拨，那箭落在地下，博尔朮连射三箭，都被他躲了开去。哲别纵马急驰，突然俯身，在地下拾起了三枝羽箭，搭上弓回身射出。 博尔朮要显本事，跃身站上马背，左脚立鞍，右脚踢开来箭，跟着居高临下，一箭猛射过去。哲别催马旁闪，还射一箭，喀喇一声，把来箭的箭杆劈为两截。 博尔朮心想：“我有箭而他无箭，到现下仍打个平手，如何能报大汗之仇？”心中焦躁起来，连珠箭发，嗖嗖嗖的不断射去，众人瞧得眼都花了。哲别来不及接箭，只得东闪西避，无奈箭来如飞，又多又快，突然噗的一声，左肩竟自中了一箭。众人齐声欢呼。 博尔朮大喜，正要再射数箭，结果他的性命，伸手往箭袋里一抽，却摸了个空，原来刚才一轮连珠急射，竟把铁木真交给他的羽箭都用完了。他上阵向来携箭极多，腰间两袋，马上六袋，共携八袋羽箭，这次所使是大汗自用的弓矢，激斗之中，竟依着平时习性使用，忘了箭数有限，待得惊觉箭已用完，疾忙回马，俯身去拾地下箭枝。 哲别瞧得亲切，嗖的一箭，响声未歇，羽箭已中博尔朮后心。旁观众人惊叫起来，但说也奇怪，这一箭虽然劲力奇大，把博尔朮后心撞得一阵疼痛，但竟透不进去，滑在地下。博尔朮顺手将箭拾起，一看之下，那箭头竟是被哲别拗去了的，原来是手下留情。他翻上马背，叫道：“我是为大汗报仇，不领你这个情！” 哲别道：“哲别向来不饶敌人！刚才这一箭是一命换一命！” 铁木真见博尔朮背上中箭，心里一阵剧烈酸痛，待见他竟然不死，不禁大喜若狂，这时便要他将部族中成千成万的牛羊马匹都拿出去换博尔朮的性命，他也毫不犹豫的换了，听哲别如此说，忙道：“好，大家别比了。他一命换你一命。” 哲别道：“不是换我的命。”铁木真道：“甚么？”哲别指着站在屋门口的郭靖，说道：“换他的性命！求大汗别难为这孩子。至于我，”他眉毛一扬，道：“我射伤大汗，罪有应得。博尔朮，你来吧！”伸手拔下肩头羽箭，血淋淋的搭在弓上。 这时博尔朮的部下早已呈上六袋羽箭，博尔朮道：“好，咱们再比过！”嗖嗖嗖嗖，一阵连珠急射。前箭后箭几乎相续，在空中便如接成了一条箭链。 哲别见来势甚急，一个镫里藏身，钻到了马腹之下，斜眼觑准，一箭往博尔朮肚上射去，那白口名驹见羽箭疾到，不待主人拉缰，往左急闪。哪知哲别这一箭来势奇快，非比平常，噗的一声，插入名驹脑袋，那马登时滚倒在地。 博尔朮卧在地下，怕他追击，反身一箭，将哲别手中硬弓的弓杆劈为两截。哲别失了武器，更无还击之能，心中暗暗叫苦，只得纵马曲曲折折的奔跑闪避。蒙古众军士齐声呐喊，为博尔朮助威。博尔朮心想：“此人真是一条好汉子！”不禁起了英雄惜英雄之心，不欲伤他性命，搭箭上弓，瞄准他后心，运足了劲，一箭飞去。 当真是将军神箭，更无虚发，那箭正中哲别后颈。哲别身子一晃，摔下马来，那箭掉在他身畔，却原来箭头也是拗去了的。博尔朮又抽一枝箭搭在弓上，对准了哲别，转头对铁木真道：“大汗，求你开恩，饶了他罢！” 铁木真看到这时，早已爱惜哲别神勇，叫道：“你还不投降吗？”哲别望着铁木真威风凛凛的神态，不禁折服倾倒，奔将过来，跪倒在地。铁木真哈哈大笑，道：“好好，以后你跟着我罢！” 蒙古人表达心情，多喜唱歌。哲别拜伏在地，大声唱了起来：“大汗饶我一命，以后赴汤蹈火，我也愿意。横断黑水，粉碎岩石，扶保大汗。征讨外敌，挖取人心！叫我到哪里，我就到哪里。为大汗冲锋陷阵，奔驰万里，日夜不停！” 铁木真大喜，取出两块金子，赏给博尔朮一块，给哲别一块。哲别谢了，道：“大汗，我转送给这孩子，可以吗？”铁木真笑道：“是我
