Clouds and Waters

Be forewarned! ! !

This chapter is in classical Chinese, but it is relatively simple and should be understandable.The author's writing style is limited, and he can only write to this point, so let's make do with it.

After writing so many chapters, I suddenly realized that I was too long-winded, and I was afraid that I would lose patience when I continued to write, so I simply asked Mr. Zixu to write this "Clouds and Waters Experience Record", which is considered to be the end.I've been stuck for so long, and I didn't expect it to end this way. . .

Warning again, classical Chinese, enter with caution! (There will be extra episodes. Little cuties, there will be a period later!)

***

In the winter of the 14th year of Xuanhe, Shui Xinyou returned to Beijing from Jingzhou.Yunchen Xiaorong put on armor, led a group of thousands of people, and set up wine battlements to make a strong move.It's the end of the year, and the wind is majestic.Cloud and water side by side whispered against the wind for a long time, and warmed the wine more than ten times, especially not to their fullest.

On the 15th day of the first month of the [-]th year of Xuanhe, the Beijing Central Lantern Festival was prosperous, and Jin Wu couldn't help it.Thousands of trees bloom at night, stars fall like rain, fish and dragons shine brightly, all night long.Xinyou invited the dignitaries in Beijing all over the Taishi Mansion, and the moon was covered by the canopy, and the grand banquet was unabated.During the banquet, the guests had a good time, and were alone and melancholy.Or ask, do not answer, only drinking ears.In the middle of the night, all the guests dispersed, only his sister Zhihuan and old friends Murong Wan, Liu Rumei, Ning Yufan and others were by his side.The heart is tired and sleepy, Zhi Huan wants to understand people's ideas, and he stops him and says: "Why is my sister going? We have a feast tonight, and the whole world celebrates, and my sister is alone. My sister is dull and dare not ask why. But there is a dance, which is exquisite. I invite my sister If you share the same reward, maybe you can forgive me a little bit. If I don't see this person dancing, I'm afraid my sister will regret it!"

Shaoqing, indistinctly, there is a person wearing a crane and feather clothes, holding a three-foot green blade, riding the moon and riding the wind, floating like a fairy.It dances up and down, dripping and frustrating, coming like thunder, and ending like a river and sea, and the viewers are all fascinated.Although Xinyou had a panoramic view of the wonders of the world, he said with a strong voice: "Isn't you the reincarnation of Gongsun Jiaren?" When he got closer, he knew that the sword dancer was General Xiaoyun.

At that time, Emperor Xuanzong had a plan to abolish the suzerain vassal, and Lai Xinyou, Chen Xiao, University scholar Murong Guang, Minister Huo Hengyang, doctor Xie Ziliang, General Luo Feng, Minister Yang Shicheng and others succeeded.The emperor's favor is the deepest, and he is entrusted with military and political orders.Xinyou also lived up to the emperor's expectations, and personally appointed Chen Xiao as the governor of Zhenxi, Luo Feng and Yang Shi became the left and right generals, and in the spring of 15 years, [-] troops were stationed at Jianmen Pass, intending to conquer Shu.At that time, Xue Yanqing, king of An in central Shu, was the weakest among the kings, and asked Yankang, king of Ning, and Yanguang, king of Ding, for reinforcements.Chen Xiao found out what he meant, and sent Chu Yuxi as the left vanguard and Tang Xiaohan as the right vanguard. They each led five thousand elite soldiers to intercept and attack in the middle of the road. They defeated the two kings' reinforcements and captured more than ten thousand surrendered generals.Chen Xiao also ordered soldiers to practice under the city of Chengdu. He saw the banners in the daytime and heard the drums in the night.Not long after, King An was frightened, opened the gate of the city, prostrated himself as a minister, and transferred money, food, taxes, and military and political power to Chen Xiao.On this day, the people of Chengdu celebrated with each other holding hands, singing and dancing to welcome the master Wang into the city, as if it was a festive year.Chen Xiao was puzzled and asked, and replied: "I heard that General Yun governed the army strictly, and he did not commit any crimes in the autumn of the people. I, the people of Chengdu, have been looking forward to General for a long time."

In the second year of Chen Xiao's rule of Shu, the turbid atmosphere in Shu was swept away, he was clean and clean, he encouraged farmers to start schools, and the people aspired to him.Gong Yan was also appointed as the secretary in charge, and Tang Zhongping and Zhou Yue were appointed as staff officers, all of whom were talented.At that time, the commentators thought that they had the ability to know people.Later, when King Ning was conquered in the south, the people of Chengdu sent him ten miles out of the city. The gifts of clothing, silk, dry food, and money were countless.This is how it wins the hearts of the people.

At the beginning of the 16th year of Xuanhe, An Wang Xue Yanqing died.The eldest son Xue Jun led Shi Honghui, the head of the palace, to hide armored soldiers and weapons in the mansion under the guise of attending a funeral, intending to rebel.At the time of his death, Hui feared, and reported to Yu Chenxiao, and the matter was defeated.Chen Xiao wrote a letter to end all the crimes. The emperor thought of the love of blood and couldn't bear to kill them. He demoted Nanjiang and died without doing anything.

At the beginning, the lieutenant generals of the Shu and Chu armies thought that Chen Xiaomeng joined the army under the shadow of his father, and that she was a woman, and many of them were dissatisfied.And he settled the Southern Chu, took over the Western Shu, and conquered Jiangsu and Zhejiang. He made brilliant calculations and made great achievements repeatedly.In addition, he has a demeanor and demeanor, often wearing silver armor, riding a white horse, galloping on the battlefield, invincible.Looking at it from a distance, it looks like Yushan towering, so the army called it "Yushan Great Wall".Chen Xiao didn't care much at the beginning, but more and more people called her later, and her name moved the world.Xinyou heard about it in the capital, and wrote a letter saying: "Qing is in the army, don't drink alcohol. Otherwise, you will get drunk, Yushan will collapse, and the Great Wall will self-destruct. What can I do?" Chen Xiao threw a letter and laughed and said: "I entered The grand master has hit the pot!" Then he stopped drinking.

In the autumn of 17, Xue Yankang, king of Ning, moved to Xizhou County, and rebelled on the grounds that Xinyou "goed against the law and the law, broke the law and broke the discipline, so that the world was in chaos and the world was in dire straits".Seeing the call to action, Xinyou smiled instead of anger and said, "The old raccoon is finally showing his tail!" He ordered Chen Xiao to station [-] troops in Anqing Mansion. Chu Yuxi and Tang Xiaohan were the vanguards, and drilled the navy in Wuhu for a battle.Chen Xiao led his troops to plan a survey, and wrote a letter saying: "The land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River is rich in taxes. King Ning has been in business for more than ten years. He has many soldiers and generals. The city is high and deep. .And the King Ding of Shandong is hesitant to decide. If the imperial court raises troops rashly, he is afraid that he will be attacked by the enemy, which will be disadvantageous." He asked Xuanzong to send an edict, and asked himself to be an angel to persuade Yanguang to surrender, and promised it.

Yanguang and Chen Xiao are old, and they are highly respected.In the end, it is good for goodwill, and it is all about cockfighting and running dogs all day long, instead of talking about soldiers.Chen Xiao persuaded him: "Since the Daxing Emperor, the world has been in chaos, and the princes have divided their regimes. However, their power is balanced, so there has not been a big change. Today, we are working hard, integrating and consolidating. There are Gyeonggi and Guanzhong in the north, and control in the south. Jingchu and Xishu are menacing, and they have the power to penetrate the Changhong. They have the tendency to annex the princes and dominate the world. The small land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang has neither danger to occupy, no way to retreat, and no generals to use. There are many of them. Only the ear of gold and silver beads. Even though King Ning has the wealth of the world, he is not afraid of him. Just imagine, the king is now benevolent, and Xue Jun rebelled and conspired. The nature of inferior villains, the king must see that he is controlled by others. It is no more than a seal of a prince, never more than a dozen people, and a car is no more than a few times. How can it be the same as the king today? The niece did not hesitate to tell the king that there is a strategy to destroy the army. Everything is ready now, and those who are owed are the king's ears of the east wind." This is a good strategy for breaking Ning.Yan Guang laughed and said: "The general's words are very true. I have always known that the general is a great talent, and he is the father if he is more victorious." The matter was accomplished.

At that time, Chu Yuxi was the vanguard, training the army in Wuhu, and was the front line of the army on the water.King Ning wanted to test Chen Xiao's reality, so he pretended to send a messenger with a letter to Wuhu by boat, which was really a spy.When the east wind blew up on the river, the boat was bumping. Many of Yuxi's troops were young people from Guanzhong, who were not used to water, and vomited incessantly, in a state of embarrassment.When the envoys returned, they all showed what they had seen.King Ning doubted and said: "The boy is so deceitful, maybe it is a way to seduce me." So he sent five thousand sailors as vanguards to fight against Yuxi in Wuhu.Yuxi was defeated and Hefei was defeated in the west, and King Ning then occupied Wuhu.Since then, I believe that Chen Xiao is not afraid, but more arrogant.

In the twelfth lunar month of that year, the sky was cold and the ground was freezing. There was no food left for people and no wormwood for horses.The hearts of Chen Xiao's army were fluttering, and it seemed that they had the intention of retreating.King Ning heard this, and called his strategists, saying: "It's done! The soldiers in the Central Plains don't practice boating, and they are already sick. What's more, it is cold today, food and grass are not enough, and there is a sign of defeat. Our army will hit it!" Zhong Bao and others persuaded him, but he listened. .He commanded [-] elite troops, Meng Chong fought more than a thousand ships, and besieged Chen Xiao's navy on the river, waiting for a long time in silence.King Ning was surprised, and when he observed it closely, he found that there were no people on the ship, only grass and ears.King Ning knew he was in the middle of the trick, so he was desperate to return.Not long after, I suddenly saw a large Eastern ship lined up, blocking the Yangtze River, and covering the sky with banners, which belonged to Wang Yanguang's navy.The territory of Yanguang is near the sea, and the naval forces of Dengzhou and Haizhou are more brave than those of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and their numbers are several times that of King Ning.King Ning retreated and defended the lonely city of Hangzhou.Chen Xiao fought several times, but none of them responded, and said angrily: "The old thief is about to lose his energy, especially if he doesn't know it!" He went into the city alone and returned after a while.When asked by all the people, they replied: "I will know tomorrow." Then I went to sleep as usual.The next day, a soldier came to report that King Ning's head was hanging over the city of Hangzhou.When Chen Xiao heard it, she fell asleep again.Xinyou got the good news, and said with a smile: "How brave is it to take the head of a thief among tens of thousands of people! Who said that General Xiaoyun is weak? The breast tiger has not yet entered the mountains and forest ears." So the chaos among the kings was settled.

In the next two years, Chen Xiao integrated his trilogy and practiced military affairs without sleepless eyes and clothes.Gathering the essence of the predecessors, he created his own sword formation in the army, which has the ability to defeat a hundred with one enemy, so it is called "Qiankun Formation".Worried about his fatigue, he wanted to move back to Beijing. He said: "Always remember the ten-year agreement, and dare not relax in the slightest. I hope that the world can be unified and the war will be eliminated. Only then can I live up to your trust."When I got the book in my heart, my tears were pouring down, so I went to bed and recalled my life.

In September of the 19th year of Xuanhe, Xuanzong took Chen Xiao as the governor of Zhenbei, and took the post of general of the world's soldiers and horses, and sent troops to Beidi.The Di people are strong and good at riding and shooting. They have always committed crimes with the Central Plains, and the border people are very disturbed.Chen Xiaozhi fought with Di Ren for more than ten battles, winning and losing, but he knew that riding and shooting was not the leader of the soldiers in the Central Plains, and he was quite tired.At that time, Luo Feng was serving as the military adviser and strategy officer of Mobei. He said: "If the general wants to serve Beidi, he must first train cavalry; if he wants to train cavalry, he must first raise good horses; if he wants to raise good horses, he must first have good horses. Good horses. All the horses come from Mobei. If the general gets a thousand good horses, why not worry about his great achievements?" Chen Xiaoran ordered his envoys to bring grain, gold and silver, utensils, jade and silk, cattle, sheep and livestock, etc., to ask for good horses in Beidi. sweat.Khan refused and said: "General Yun is a heroine, and everyone in the world has heard about it. I don't want gold, silver, cattle and sheep, but if I know General Yun, I will have no regrets." So Chen Xiao kissed the soldiers and guards, and helped the grain march northward.When the Khan saw it, he was overjoyed, and held a banquet with wine. He was dissolute after drinking, and there were many disrespectful words.Chen Xiao became angry, took hundreds of Di people with his bare hands, and captured Khan alive as a hostage, asking for his good horse.

Khan's younger brother, Hezhe, had always wanted to replace him. He shot Khan in the chaos and died.So He Zheli made a covenant with Chen Xiao: the Great Wall is the boundary, the Central Plains is bowed, the frontiers are open to the market, what is there is exchanged, and there is nothing wrong with each other, and they will not invade each other.At that time, there were decades of civil strife in the Central Plains, the people were weary of war, and the soldiers wanted to return, all of whom were good at their alliances.Emperor Xuanzong Xuzhi, in the following year, Xinyou stayed in Suiyuan on behalf of the emperor and formed an alliance with Hezhe Khan, which was called "the alliance of Suiyuan" at that time.For the next 20 years, there was no war between Beidi and the Central Plains.

In the twelfth lunar month of the 21st year of Xuanhe, Xuanzong issued an edict to abdicate, saying that since Jianzuo, he has lost his virtue and lost his trust in the world, so he is not enough to be an emperor.Xinyou looked up at the astronomy, looked down at the hearts of the people, grasped the talisman and held the talisman, and followed the destiny.Wish to emulate Yao Dian, Zen lies in the heart.The third of Xinyouci, the third of Xuanzong Rang.So Xinyou ascended to the extreme, named Xuanzong Fengyanghou, and was still enshrined in the palace, just like the emperor.In the following year, Xinyou changed the name of the country to Zhao, changed the yuan to promote peace, and amnesty the world.It is Emperor Zhaoming.

In March of the first year of Shengping, Chen Xiao went to the capital.Emperor Zhaoming ordered all the officials to obey the law and hold the wat, and greeted them at the road gate.On the left side of the Emperor Huang's house, the guide and guardian of Lu Book, went to Xuande Gate to treat him personally, and climbed Danchi together with his hands, and personally took care of him.At that time, officials in Beijing heard that Chen Xiao was returning, and there were countless people who clung to him, but none of them accepted it.Chen Xiao has been at the border for a long time and has no property in Beijing.The emperor ordered him to live in the Xingqing Hall of the inner palace, and the application of it was the same as that of the emperor.Jiazhong Shuling, Prince Taishi, was granted the title of Governor of the Protectorate, the King of Chu, and he resigned firmly, but it was stopped.

After staying for a few days, Chen Xiao said: "The imperial seat has been violated. I beg your Majesty to fulfill the covenant of that day." He hangs the seal on the east building, and wears a white clothes and plain crown to the emperor, in order to become an official.The emperor was displeased, and the world would not accept it.At that time, the opposition parties discussed and praised him, thinking that Chen Xiao's character was noble and pure, and that he was not an official because he won the position of emperor.Later, there were some good people who did not believe it, thinking that Chen Xiao was ordered by the emperor to return the power to the emperor, so as to ensure wealth and safety.For a while, there was a lot of private discussion, and there were mixed opinions.Chen Xiao didn't care at all, and just closed the door all day long.

In the next three days, a waiter delivered the emperor's decree to Chen Xiao: to hide in the court and wait for the good news.Chen Xiao stayed in the capital with commoner clothes.With extra money in hand, but generous in nature, he often gives alms and does not buy property.Love Danqing, Baixi, juggling, game, and sometimes spend a lot of money without changing color.Often entering and leaving the palace is forbidden, as if returning home.A new member of the Huang family, who doesn't know Chen Xiao, blocks Nan Xun's door.An old prisoner saw him and said angrily: "Stupid slave! Don't you know this is Your Majesty's 'My Family Ayun'?" Then let him go.Hou Chenxiao told the emperor privately, "I don't know how your Majesty will call me in the palace? I don't know whose family I am, Ayun?" The emperor smiled and did not answer.

In the four years of Emperor Jianzuo's reign, he slept long and sleepy at night, and wore clothes and food at night.Serving the people in farming and mulberry, earning a small amount of tax, widening the stockpile of livestock, using real warehouses, preparing for floods and droughts, and promoting the interests of the people.At that time, Xie Ziliang was the chief assistant of Fengge, Huo Hengyang was the minister of Luantai, followed by Yang Shicheng, Luo Feng, Liu Rumei, Chu Yuxi, Tang Xiaohan, Ning Yufan, etc., all of them were virtuous talents of the time. Eight handsome".The emperor is eclectic and uses it.Open up the way of speaking, enter Enke repeatedly, and people with virtue and ability from all over the world compete to come to the court. At that time, there are many talents and scholars.Everyone in the world said that the emperor knows people well, is smart and heroic, and is "Yao and Shun among women".

When Shi Chenxiao saw that the emperor was diligent in the inner court and couldn't sleep all night, he blamed him and said: "Your Majesty takes the world as his own responsibility, so don't you care about the imperial body?"Zhongjuan was startled, but the emperor was at ease, sleeping with his sleeves on his pillow.The memorials he approved went straight to the province and Taiwan, and the emperor did not review them.Some people were impeached because of Chen Xiao's pre-government, and the emperor retorted angrily, saying: "There is nothing wrong with the world today, and it is the credit of General Yun. Why don't I reward it with Jiangshan? How about approving the edict?" The impeachment ended.In the later dynasty, there were many affairs, and Chen Xiao decided with Zhubi.He acted wisely and decisively, and was known as the "Prime Minister in White".

In October of the fourth year of Shengping, the emperor issued an edict to abdicate, intending to return Xue Shu, the daughter of Marquis of Fengyang.The government and the people were shocked, thinking that the world was about to fall, and there were a lot of memorials, and they all urged the emperor to put the world first, so I don't listen.In the winter month of that year, the emperor retreated to Shangyang Palace, and listened to the government, all according to the previous system.Next year, there will be a severe drought in Henan and Shandong, and we will open a righteous storehouse to relieve the people, and avoid the mediocrity of the two places, and the people will praise his benevolence.In May of that year, the emperor began to practice meditation, called the emperor, and lived in the palace in the eastern capital, with Chen Xiao at his side.Shu is the emperor who is located in front of the Daqing Hall, and changed Yuan Taifeng to Emperor Jing.

In the second year of Taifeng, the emperor and Chen Xiao went hunting in the western suburbs.I saw an elk with nine-color markings, as tall as a horse, which is hard to find in the world.I thought it was auspicious, and chased it together, and it was faster than lightning, and it was difficult to chase the horses left and right, so I was lost.So far, the emperor and Chen Xiao have disappeared from the world.Or he was tired of strife and lived in seclusion in the south of the Yangtze River;There are different opinions, and there is no consensus, and it will be difficult to find his fairy trail.

Later, someone with good deeds wrote a limerick to praise Chen Xiao, saying: "Treading the snow and riding the wind to conquer the skirt, the general's talent is even more incomparable. The calligraphy and ink articles move the world, and the clever calculation of tiger charms scares ghosts and gods. Learn from the Big Dipper and gossip array, and use the stone pillars of Gaoling Pavilion Minister. Loyalty and filial piety now belong to women, and the majesty and awe will last forever."

In the seventh year of Taifeng, the deeds of clouds and water rose in Goulan Washe, but the details are unclear.In the eighth year, the person who wrote "Yunshui Jianwenlu" passed through the hands of Wang Sun Gongqing, and then spread among the people, and those who had good deeds made a perfunctory chapter and published it in a book.I don't know who the author of "Jianwenlu" is, and no one can test its authenticity.On the right side of this record, those who speak are innocent but those who hear it are a warning, or they can increase the conversational resources after tea and dinner.

In the tenth year of Taifeng, Mr. Zixu was recorded in the capital.
