Chapter 24 Section 6: Too many mistakes

In the dark stone house, Zhang Yi, who was covered in bruises, finally woke up, as if in a trance, it was a nightmare.The stone slab under him was cold, his whole body was cold, and his heart was also cold. That gleam of light seemed to be the swishing cool wind, turning that hazy and chaotic feeling into cold.Opening her eyes, Zhang Yi felt sober and hazy. It was obviously a cold world, but why did she feel hot and anxious?Or close your eyes and think about it, what happened?How can I suddenly become a blank? Zhang Yi took a deep breath, and the day's affairs ooze out in the cold and damp—ah, the military envoy came to report that Fangling was attacked by the Qin army, the king of Chu threw the bronze prince, what did Zhaoju shout?That's right, take down Zhang Yi!By the way, Tian Ji argued for a while, but it seemed useless.What will happen in the future, don't think about it, what else can I do?Suddenly, Zhang Yi thought it was ridiculous. He was a famous scholar when he entered Chu, and he was even a god after he was exterminated. How could that pious praise suddenly become a sap when he was being enshrined by the king and minister of Chu?The success of a plan, from man to god!A conspiracy, from a god to a ghost!Are things in the world really so funny?Yes, yes, it's really funny!With a flash of thought, Zhang Yi burst out laughing and sang while laughing: "Xixi Gufeng, Weishan Cuiwei. No grass will never die, no tree will never wither. Forget my great virtues and think of my little grievances." As she sang, she felt Fly away by myself...

When she woke up again, Zhang Yi's whole body was as soft as a crisp. Why did the penetrating coldness change into lightness and warmth, as if after being drunk?what is that soundXi Xi Shu Shu vaguely seems to be by your side?Zhang Yi struggled to open her eyes, but saw a person kneeling beside her, who seemed to be crying softly. She closed her eyes and opened them again. Zhang Yi believed that this was no longer a dream, no longer a drunken eye, it was real! "Fei Yun? Is that you?" Zhang Yi muttered vaguely, as if the mouth didn't belong to her. "Brother Zhang! You, you finally woke up..." The crying stopped, but tears fell on Zhang Yi's face.

"Fei Yun," Zhang Yi slowly opened her mouth, "Look, look, is my tongue still there?" Fei Yun laughed "puchi", but nodded while wiping away tears: "Yes, yes." "Okay, okay." Zhang Yi took a long breath: "But with this three-inch tongue, Zhang Yi is still Zhang Yi." "Don't talk, I'll feed you some hot rice wine." Fei Yun Gently lifted Zhang Yi to lean on his shoulder, turned around and took a copper pot wrapped in cotton, put the spout on Zhang Yi's lips: "Come on, it will feel better after drinking it." The sweet and warm rice wine , Zhang Yi felt very thirsty, swallowed like a gurgling cow, and the pot of hot rice wine was completely clean in an instant.Zhang Yi felt very energetic and looked around, only to find that it was a thatched hut with bamboo walls. Through the half-closed wooden door, a green hill was in front of him. It seemed familiar: "Fei Yun, where is this?" He was so surprised Some stuttered.

"Changyang Valley, Tian Ji's hermitage." "How can I be here? Where is Tian Ji?" "Brother Zhang, don't worry," Fei Yun sighed, "I'll tell you right now..." Zhaoju arrested Zhang Yi, and Tian Ji was in a hurry. He asked Fei Yun to go to Ling Yin's tent to inquire, and at the same time urgently asked to see King Chu Wei overnight.Fei Yun rushed there in a hurry, and bought a military officer in Lingyin's mansion with a hundred gold, so he was able to wait in the hall of Lingyin's mansion as a guard.In the middle of the night, Tian Ji arrived in a hurry and showed King Chu's golden arrow, and then forced Zhaoju to release Zhang Yi, who was bruised and bruised.After leaving Lingyin's mansion, Tian Ji didn't say anything, and didn't even return to the Chinese army's tent, so he personally drove Zhang Yi's master and servant to the riverside in a chariot.At this time, a light clipper was already waiting by the river.Under the hazy moonlight, Tian Ji said to Fei Yun: "Sir is seriously injured, please take care of him. I will return later. Don't worry about the rest, you will know when you get on the boat." After speaking, he left in a hurry.After boarding the light boat, a stalwart young man came to the cabin and said to Fei Yun: "I am a brother of the general family, and my name is Tian Deng. Little brother, don't worry, just take care of the gentleman. This is a red wound medicine box, little brother must be He will take care of the red wound." Fei Yun hurriedly nodded his thanks, and buried himself in the unconscious Zhang Yi under a thick candle.It took a whole hour for Fei Yun to scrub and apply medicine to all Zhang Yi's wounds.At this time Tian Deng came to the cabin again, seeing that Zhang Yi had fallen asleep peacefully, he just told Fei Yun about Tian Ji's arrangement.Tian Ji warned: the monarchs and ministers of the state of Chu are loathing Zhang Yi, and Zhaoju is also sinister. Mister can't stay in Zhaoguan, he must go back to Changyang Valley to heal his wounds, and then do other pictures after he recovers.In this way, he wandered for six days before returning to Changyang Valley in Yunmengze. "Where's the general? Is he not involved?" Zhang Yi asked urgently.

"Tian Deng said that the king of Chu and the general made another exchange: the general must lead the troops to take back Fangling before the state of Chu can release the people. The general insisted that the king of Chu release brother Zhang first, otherwise he would not accept the exchange. The stalemate lasted for an hour. The king of Chu sent out the arrow. To send us away, the king of Chu urged the general to lead his troops northward overnight. Tian Deng settled us down, and then he chased the general." Zhang Yi was stunned and said for a long time, "Fei Yun, go Rest and let me think about it."

"Hey, I'll come when the meal is ready." Fei Yun packed up the odds and ends, helped Zhang Yi to lie down, and went out lightly.Zhang Yi was greatly surprised by the news that Tian Ji led his troops to the north.It is normal for Tian Ji to justify himself, and it is also reasonable to rush to the Xingyuan of the King of Chu overnight to rescue himself.After all, it was Zhang Yi who created the opportunity for Tian Ji to return to Qi State, and was ready to work together to revitalize Qi State.The stakes, as a reward, are also the meaning of the question.However, in exchange for commanding the troops to regain Fangling, it greatly exceeded the act of repayment.Qin's new army is by no means comparable to the mobs of Yue. How can Chu's old chariots and half-new and half-old cavalry recover Fangling?The Qin army was able to attack thousands of miles, the planners and generals must be extraordinary figures, how could they not be fully prepared for the battle?When the Chu army went north, didn't they hit the stone with eggs?Tian Ji, as a well-known veteran in the world, has always used his troops cautiously. He was trembling in a war against Vietnam, how could he have no doubts about Qin Chu's strength?More importantly, such an exchange will make Tian Ji sink deeper and deeper in the state of Chu. Chu people are merciless and ungrateful.In fact, by making such an exchange, Tian Ji is tantamount to betting the rest of his life on the state of Chu, and his wish to return to the state of Qi may never come true. , old age and death in a foreign land, that is really a sad song that grinds people's life.Obviously, Tian Ji put himself in Chu State, Chu State's hatred for Zhang Yi will be slightly reduced, and Zhang Yi will be completely out of danger, and he will be able to rest safely.Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi, are you worth Tian Ji's sacrifice?If a close friend and confidant are like Yu Boya Zhongzi, it is natural for a scholar to die for a confidant, and he will die without regret.But Zhang Yizhi and Tian Ji are just acquaintances for the first time, they can't be regarded as close friends, let alone acquaintances.Zhang Yi's running around for Tian Ji's return to Qi was only out of the need to find strength for himself. It was originally "weighing interests and deciding what to do", so Zhang Yi never talked about Tian Ji in terms of "righteousness", or even "righteousness". "Tao" literally means something.Zhang Yi, who is bold and uninhibited, never talks about hypocritical and cumbersome friendship and etiquette to people and things, but only pursues a thorough grasp of the relationship between interests.Although Tian Ji is taciturn, he is wise. How can he not know the principles of strategists?Therefore, Zhang Yi and Tian Ji cannot be regarded as friendship.So, what about the knowledge aspect of making decisions?It seems that it is even more out of touch with bosom friend.When the Qin army raided Fangling, Tian Ji put it forward as the only danger after careful consideration.However, Zhang Yi immediately denied Tian Ji without thinking, which eventually led to the king of Chu's denial of Tian Ji.In fact, Tian Ji did not agree with Zhang Yi's point of view, but he did not argue with reason like a strategist, insisting on seeing that you are superior and I am inferior.Now that I think about it, Tian Ji's words make sense: "The law of the military is that the rear is the foundation, but if you seek defense, you will be invincible. If you don't seek the enemy, you will be defenseless."

In retrospect, Zhang Yi is really incredible. Why did I turn a deaf ear to such an important military motto at that time, and just laughed for a while, negating the thoughtfulness of a famous general in the world?Zhang Yi, ah Zhang Yi, as a strategist of a famous family, he is so shallow and frivolous, he is really the laughing stock of the world!When Fangling's military envoy rushed to report the bad news, you, Zhang Yi, were so shocked that your complexion turned pale, and you were as dumb as a chicken, unable to speak. Don't you feel ashamed? ! Thinking of this, Zhang Yi's pale face turned red, and for the first time in his life, he felt ashamed.Thinking about it carefully, I never knew much about Qin, yet somehow I despise Qin!I have always been superficial in the study of military warfare, but I am inexplicably rash in talking about military affairs!Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi, compared with Su Qin's calmness and thoroughness, how superficial and impetuous you are?Su Qin often said: "There is no peer in sharpness, and I am not as good as Zhang Yi." Zhang Yi always laughed at this kind of praise of Su Qin, saying "yes and nos", but he was very proud of it in his heart.This time, and for the first time in his life, Zhang Yi suddenly realized that compared with Su Qin, he was really inferior.

The wooden door was ajar, and the dim yellow sunlight spread over the hall of the thatched hut for a long time. Zhang Yi stared at the setting sun on the top of the mountain that was gradually sinking, and a ray of cold tears welled up his pale cheeks.Suddenly, his heart trembled, and he suddenly stood up straight, but with a low muffled groan, he fell down heavily, making the bamboo couch under him creak and creak loudly!Gritting his teeth for a moment, he sat up again, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and stood up slowly while supporting the bamboo couch.Looking around, he saw the wind stick supporting the door behind the door, so he tried to walk over to get that wind stick to help him, but he didn't want to lift his feet, his knees felt weak, and he sat down on the ground.Zhang Yi laughed loudly, shook her head and muttered: "Yesterday, the hero was the best in the world, but today I am the only one who walks with hardships..." After panting for a while, she concentrated on putting her hands on the ground again, and finally stood up slowly!Gritting his teeth and taking two steps, he grabbed the wind stick in his hand, although it was wobbly, he did not fall down.With the help of the wind stick, Zhang Yi stood still and held her breath. She felt that the dizziness was floating and the Venus in front of her eyes was slowly disappearing. After sweating profusely, she felt very awake.Leaning on the wind stick, Zhang Yi moved out of the door step by step.As the sun sets, a blood-red sunset glow still hangs over the verdant peaks, and a swaying wisp of cooking smoke is melting into the vast twilight. The green hills on three sides are like daisy, the clear river at the bottom of the valley is like a river, the valley breeze is blowing, and the mountain birds are chirping—how beautiful What a beautiful world!In an instant, Zhang Yi felt as if he had passed away, standing in the evening breeze in a daze. "Brother Zhang—!" Following the crisp and urgent call, Fei Yun hurried over: "Hey! How dare you stand here? Tian Ji's Wangxiang Terrace is a lonely stone in the abyss, how dangerous! Don't you know? Hurry up Come down, slow down, be steady, hey, right."

Zhang Yi was yelled at by Fei Yun and went down to the lonely peak, just now she came to her senses, raised her head and was about to speak, but stared at Fei Yun in surprise and laughed loudly: "Yes, yes, this is the real mountains and rivers! "Fei Yun was embarrassed, covered her face and said with a smile: "You are gone, people can't take care of you." Zhang Yi was so happy that she lit her wind stick and smiled: "Okay, I, Zhang Yi, have a little sister!" Zhang Yi While recuperating secretly in Changyang Valley, Fei Yun devoted herself to cooking.This Changyang Valley was originally a place of seclusion, except for salt, ironware and other items to be purchased on the market, everything is self-sufficient.To cook, one has to go to the vegetable field to pick vegetables first, and then to draw water from the well. If there is no more rice and noodles, one has to pound the mortar or grind the noodles.This has become what the ancients often said, "children often operate the well mortar by themselves", not to mention home-brewed rice wine, starch washing and sewing, tea picking and frying, cleaning the court and other work.But the most important thing is to serve the seriously injured Zhang Yi with all his strength, decocting and feeding medicine, scrubbing the wound, dressing and changing dressings, supporting the big and small, and guarding day and night.Although Fei Yun is shrewd and agile, she is also busy like a spinning top.

There were originally two old servants who guarded the village in Changyang Valley, but Fei Yun insisted on taking care of everything by herself, and never asked the servants for help except for heavy work in the field.These trivial, tedious and continuous tasks need to be done quickly, well and cleanly, so some basic rules must be unconsciously followed: wearing an apron when cooking, wearing a cloth handkerchief on the head, bunting long hair into a bun, feeding medicine To change the dressing, you have to kneel and sit in front of the couch, and when you wash and mend starch, you have to fly needles and thread.In the midst of daily management, Fei Yun gradually forgot the manly habits he had trained for a long time. At this moment, he rushed here, wearing a cloth handkerchief on his head, an apron around his waist, and a jade hairpin stuck in the bun behind his head. The long cloud temples are full of sweat, the plump breasts are heaving and panting, the eyes are sparkling, fair and rosy, and she looks like a capable and beautiful girl!How could Zhang Yi not sigh and marvel?When his mother handed Fei Yun to him, she didn't say that Fei Yun was a girl.Traveling wasted, although she often felt that Fei Yun showed a naughty and cute daughter's demeanor, but it was just a thought in her heart, and Zhang Yi didn't think about it seriously.After all, the difference between boys and girls is not clear-cut, and there are indeed boys who sound and smile like girls.But more importantly, Zhang Yi was born in a poor family, open-minded and unrestrained, never treated his servants as a bitch, and didn't want to ask these secrets for no reason.In his opinion, if Fei Yun doesn't say anything, it means he can't say he doesn't want to say or has nothing to say, so why embarrass others?With such a scene of Feiyun today, he suddenly realized it, and felt inexplicably happy in his heart. "Hey, don't stand in the wind, go back." Fei Yun muttered shyly.

"Fei Yun," Zhang Yi said suddenly, "I have to leave Changyang Valley, clean up, and leave in the middle of the night." "Hey! Why is this? You haven't healed yet, so you can't leave." Sharp and bright. "Hey, don't you know?" Zhang Yi imitated Fei Yun's usual tone and said with a smile: "Tian Ji can't help himself. It's a stopgap measure to settle me here. As long as I live here, Tian Ji can't get rid of Chu State. I want to give Tian Ji freedom, he never wants to get deeper in Chu State. He must go!" "No one knows we live here?" Fei Yun still couldn't figure it out. "Children's words." Zhang Yi nodded his wind stick "dumbly": "That Fangling is the fiefdom of Zhaoju. The Qin State dug up his old roots, and he hates me to death. Even if the king of Chu let me go, Zhaoju will also look for me. He is Ling Yin, and he has great power, and there is absolutely no escape from his spies and assassins here." "Hey!" Fei Yun broke out in a cold sweat, "Then hurry up! The road to Qi is pretty easy." "Can you go back to Qi?" Zhang Yi smiled bitterly: "Go home, go back to my hometown in Anyi." "Brother Zhang, you..." Seeing the tears in Zhang Yi's eyes, Fei Yun was about to choke up, but immediately gritted his teeth and held back: "Okay, let's go back to my hometown! Let's go, you rest and refresh yourself first, and I'll go get ready." At that time, the moon and stars were sparse, and a canoe floated out of the rolling Changyang Mountain Stream, into the vast Yunmeng Lake where the water and sky were the same color, and drifted to the far north. "Brother Zhang, what are you thinking? You're so stupid." Fei Yun's voice floated amidst the noise. "Su Qin. Why did he choose Qin?" "He thinks Qin Guo is good. What else can there be?" Zhang Yi laughed loudly: "It's true! There is no mystery. It's just that I have to re-evaluate Qin. This old Qin is so evil. I can't forget it when I go out!"
