Unofficial History of Song and Liao Heroes

"Chilechuan, under the Yin Mountain. The sky is like a dome, covering the four fields. The sky is blue, the fields are vast, and the wind blows the grass and the cattle and sheep can be seen."

In the vast grassland, the setting sun is setting, and the majestic and desolate singing of the shepherds is sung far away.

A line of chariots and horses came slowly, and the travelers driving the chariots and horses were seven or eight Han Chinese, most of whom were burly men with swords, bows and crossbows on their backs. The little girl, the pair of Bi people are a valiant man and a beautiful young woman with a graceful figure. A lazy cat.At this time, while lightly controlling the reins, the big man lets the horse dismount for a leisurely stroll, while telling the little girl the origin of the "Chile Song".

It turns out that a small piece of "Chile Song" has a great background.According to legend, it was made by Hu Lujin, a general of Gao Huan, the founding emperor of the Eastern Wei Dynasty.It was 546 A.D., and Gao Huan, who was still a powerful minister of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, fought a bloody battle at Yubi.

At that time, the Xianbei people had ruled for nearly 150 years in the western part of the Central Plains centered in the middle and northern parts of Shanxi.In 534 A.D., Gao Huan established the Eastern Wei Dynasty (the Northern Wei Dynasty was thus split into the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Western Wei Dynasty. The Western Wei Dynasty established its capital in today's Xi'an in 535 A.D. in the following year), and he became the prime minister and held great power.Although the capital was set in Yecheng, Linzhang County, Hebei Province, most of Gao Huan and his army were still in Shanxi (Gao Huan’s prime minister’s mansion was located in Jinyang, and its address was in the south of Taiyuan City, Shanxi today). Naturally, troops are stationed for battle in order to unify the Eastern Wei and Western Wei.In the following nearly 150 years, the Chile and Xianbei peoples merged and lived together in the north of the Yellow River, centered on the middle and northern part of Shanxi, which is said to be called Chilechuan by old people. Since the war continued.

In 546 A.D., Gao Huan led [-] troops from Jinyang to attack Yubi, an important military town in the Western Wei Dynasty (in the southwest of Jishan County in southern Shanxi today).Gao Huan was depressed and became ill. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden rumor in the army that one of the arrows was about to die. Gao Huan was shocked when he heard the news.In order to cheer up the morale of the army, he ordered the general Hu Lujin to sing a folk song of the Xianbei and Chile ethnic groups to cheer up.Hu Lujin changed the pastoral song of his hometown into "Chile Song", and sang it loudly. Gao Huan liked it and sang it along with it. Therefore, "Chile Song" has been widely spread in the world and has been handed down to this day.

The grass grows and flourishes, and hundreds of years have passed in the blink of an eye. Gao's Eastern Wei Dynasty and Northern Qi Dynasty have long been a thing of the past. Although Chilechuan still has nomadic Xianbei people, at this time it has long been the territory opened up by Zhao Kuangyin, the great ancestor of the Song Dynasty.It’s just that the majesty and grand occasion of the founding of the country and the prosperity of all nations are always short-lived. Not long after the death of Taizu, the Li family of Xixia and the Yelu family of Khitan in the north competed with Song Dynasty. Near the border of the Three Kingdoms, in order to fill the army with horses, the Three Kingdoms have fought repeatedly for decades, but the endless blood and blood of the bones has watered the grassland even more emerald green.

After the big man finished telling the story of the song, the little girl scratched the cat's ears, causing the cat to squint comfortably, and suddenly said softly:

"A [-] army fought in a small place, and they lost their soldiers and fled in embarrassment. Gao Huan is not a very powerful person, why did Dad call him a hero just now?"

The big man was dumb for a moment, stroking the dismounted horse with his right hand, and said solemnly after a while:

"Gao Huan, Emperor Shenwu of the Northern Qi Dynasty, was not a man of gods either. Although his entrepreneurial venture was difficult and experienced repeated failures, his determination to create a great cause remained unchanged at the beginning. He finally established a dynasty, protected the people of one side, and blessed future generations. , but he is still a momentary hero.”

But the little girl still didn't think so and said, "Then Gao Huan was just lucky, if dad led troops to conquer the world like his father, he would surely create a world bigger than him if he took down all the jade and gold coins at once! "

The crowd burst into laughter when they heard the rebellious and outrageous children's words, and the big man even laughed and said:

"Thinking of the heroes of the world, who didn't go through hardships before achieving greatness in the world, and it is only through untold hardships that they can show their grandeur in their hearts! Qianxue, although you are a woman, you can't underestimate the heroes of the world, and you can't forget me, the descendants of the Ran family , in this life, in this world, when you live, you will live up to the heroic spirits of the ancestors of the world; when you die, you will live up to the expectations of the people in the world."

After finishing speaking, he looked around the wilderness of the prairie, and suddenly a surge of pride surged in his heart. He turned his head and smiled at the beautiful and beloved daughter, urging the horse to gallop wildly. For a moment, he suddenly felt the scorching heat in the dantian, and the real energy in his body was surging like the surging Yangtze River. He didn't realize it Running around for a week, I couldn't help a hot current in my chest, and I couldn't help screaming up to the sky.

The little girl Qianxue sighed, and said to the beautiful woman in an old-fashioned way: "Oh, mother, Daddy has made great progress in martial arts and has gone crazy!"

It caused everyone to laugh again.

The woman glanced at the little girl with a smile, and said with a smile:

"Who made your father's temperament suitable for the family's Wu Mourning Heart Sutra, every time the pride bursts out, naturally..."

"Naturally, you can walk freely with qi. The tides in the dantian are surging. Refining acquired qi into innate breath, accumulating over time, gathering sand into a tower, heroic spirit and unrivaled power can be achieved." The little girl shook her head and said, "Grandpa told me this every day. Xiaoxue, I understand everything."

Everyone laughed again after hearing this, but the woman said:

"Practicing martial arts is like water dripping through stone. Occasionally, you may have the opportunity to make rapid progress, but everything is good and bad, and at this time it is the most prone to madness. Xiaoxue, you should be careful when practicing martial arts in the future. Don't imitate your father and come to scare me."

After saying that, she ignored Xiaoxue, and only looked at her husband with concern, but saw that her husband's chorus gradually changed, and it turned into "Chile Song", the singing pierced the clouds and the sky, and reigned everywhere.Also, the lyrics and music of "Song of Chile" are peculiar. Although the words and sentences are only scenery, the perseverance, fearlessness and fearlessness in the singing gradually show. There is still a faint and graceful voice of a child. At this time, desolation and clarity coexist, vigorous and immature. All the shepherds who heard the singing echoed from afar, and forgot to go back for a while. It's time to show off.

"Xiaoxue! Don't sing any more, your mother will blame daddy if you hurt your throat."

The big man sang for a long time, lightly controlled the steed and rushed back, and whispered instructions to Xiaoxue beside him while walking, but his eyes were looking at the young woman.

But Xiaoxue sneered and said to the big man with a disdainful smile:

"Daddy came to take care of the family again, but he didn't look at Xiaoxue. What did mother do? Besides, Xiaoxue sang and yelled in the alley every day when she was in the south of the Yangtze River, but she didn't see you. I was afraid that I would hurt my throat. Why did I just teach Xiaoxue to sing in the grassland?" Are you afraid of this or that after two lines of songs?"

The big man blushed when he heard Xiaoxue talking about looking at her mother, but seeing Xiaoxue's mother just smiled and looked at his father and daughter without saying anything, he coughed again, pretending to be serious:

"Father is doing it for Xiaoxue's sake. I think you will make all the bastards in the street look stupid when you sing softly in the alley. However, the grassland is not narrower than the streets and alleys at this time. If you want to sing as loud as you usually hear When you grow up, you will be hoarse. You are still young, so you don’t know it. If you really hurt your throat and become like a duck voice like Granny Guo on the street, be careful that you won’t get married~~”

"Daddy hates it!!"

Xiaoxue really has the heart of a little girl, when she was frightened by the big man, she was immediately annoyed, and her voice became hoarse when she said angrily, she was so frightened that she wanted to cry, she glanced at her father angrily, and turned to her mother.

Sure enough, Mother is Daddy's nemesis, before she opened her mouth, she seemed angry and not angry, Daddy was defeated, and hurriedly curry favor with Xiaoxue and said:

"Don't be afraid, Xiaoxue. Daddy has an effective antidote for all diseases! Whether he has lost his voice and is hoarse or seriously injured and dying, all diseases will disappear with one bite!"

As he said that, he really took out a big jade bottle with his fist from the saddle bag, uncorked the bottle and took a deep breath intoxicated, as if it really contained the elixir refined by the Taishang Laojun.Xiaoxue was also bluffed for a while, she forgot to cry, she threw away the cat and wanted to grab food and drink, but the big man was reluctant to hand it over, and the father and daughter made a fuss on the horse, and everyone around them was happy to see the father and daughter playing , just laughed hard one by one, the poor cat fell off the carriage, and had to jump on the shaft again.

The young woman next to her burst into a smile when she saw this, but said angrily:

"Brother Yuan, you are teasing Qianxue again! Be careful to spill your bottle of Baihuayulu wine, there is nothing to cure the wine bugs!"

The big man laughed when he heard this, but at this moment, Xiaoxue was riding unsteadily, and wanted to fall off the horse. The couple and the guards were terrified for a moment, and hurriedly reached out to help, but unexpectedly, Xiaoxue reached out and snatched the Baihuayulu wine Go, disregarding the body and looking up, he took a big mouthful, and when he fell down, he happened to be caught in the arms of the big man.

When the big man received his beloved daughter, he really let go of the big stone in his heart. When he looked down, he saw Xiaoxue's eyes rolling, her cheeks flushed, she lightly sipped the green and fragrant wine on her lips, giggled and said:

"Oh, it's not good, Xiaoxue drank such a big mouthful of Daddy's Baihua Yulu wine!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at the big man's arms and leaned on him, and he was so drunk.

The big man and Xiao Xueniang looked at each other speechlessly, laughed for a moment, put away the jade bottle and pulled the reins, and went with everyone.

It is said that the wine Xiaoxue drank was named Baihua Yulu. It was brewed by Yan Hui, the descendant of Yan Ying, the god of wine who moved to the south of the Yangtze River during the Eastern Wei Dynasty. He collected fruits and grain essences from the south of the Yangtze River. Bitter, the fragrance spreads for ten miles, mellow and sweet, but for those who have a small capacity for alcohol, it will be poured in half a sip, and the serving is very powerful.Xiaoxue took a big gulp without knowing how deep she was, and immediately transformed from a pretty little girl into a little drunk cat. She felt that the clouds were floating in the mist for an unknown amount of time, and the fragrance in her mouth filled her heart, and she almost wanted to never wake up again.Suddenly thinking of coming with my parents on this trip, thinking of my father being disrespectful but willing to laugh with me, and my mother doting on me tenderly, I feel so sad in my heart, I have long forgotten to enjoy the feeling of being in the air, and suddenly I woke up come over.

When I was sleepy, I suddenly saw that the two pupils in front of me were as black as a cat, and they were so dark and bottomless. When I blinked and looked closely, I felt that the inside was colorful, unpredictable like a kaleidoscope, and like my father's full strength. Carrying out the family's unique knowledge of thousands of magic hands, it is as dreamy and blurred, and I was fascinated by watching it for a while.
