West dispute
“Father handsome, why so matter of great urgency to fight this tiny West?” Sima Zhao somewhat puzzled. Sima Yi Nianxu smile: “Although it is 山僻 small West County, but it is the bread of the Tuen Shujun If you’ve got this city, Southampton, Tianshui, stability can be regained three prefectures..” He suddenly smile a convergence, eyes and more a few Fenyou Italy, into a meditation.

Watching a lieutenant with a Centaur pressing grain car go away, Zhuge Liang gently exhales. Suddenly, a Huangji “reported a voice sounded behind him.”, The Secretary, Sima Yi rate, the rate of force west -. “, Spies shortness of breath, choking voice, saying do not go,” reported ── also a stumbling Spies ran the city wall: “Sima army 150,000 swarmed less than half an hour, there seventh Spies fly newspaper, Sima Yi cavalry vanguard of not more than ten miles away from the West side of the civilian Zhuge Liang looked at each other. , constantly oozing cold sweat on his forehead. looking ahead, at the smoke billowing connected world, hoofs thundered clearly audible, West tower seemed shaky in the sound. hooves filled in between heaven and earth, and an incredible command sounded: “Kaesong! “Sima Yi extremely weird look on his face, he could not believe his eyes. Entire West quiet, stay out of the war like a paradise. On the wall empty, neither Shujun flags, no defense soldiers. surrounded the gates are wide open, no one else than two dozen people buried sprinkler commoner sweeping, like waiting for something.
Breath play
Just then he heard the sound of the piano. Zhuge Liang sitting on top of the tower, wearing robes gossip, it is the figure who trained and grace. His right and left standing a boy, holding a sword and whisk respectively. Qin front of him stood a tool, is shrouded in rising cigarette breath play. Pieces go house tune, CKS calm, sometimes as towering mountains, sometimes like gurgling water, it is refreshing. I heard shouts in the clearest, hanging on Sima Yi mouth hint of sneer, walked side and walked towards the gate. Pieces slowdown already turned the requisition, every note phonology long, soothing in it implies efforts. Sima Yi’s face became serious, mouth taut, he suddenly strode back, suddenly walked quickly oblique line, the first step of leaving footprints deeper. Zhuge Liang corner of my eye to the next city sweep, the surface may seem a bit stiff smile Ju, Sima Yi only fifty paces from the gate. His face suddenly became blood red, and then immediately returned intact. Sounds suddenly overstating, clear stone can crack into the sky. That melody lines along the way, the more dangerous the more rows, leaving no room for maneuver Jingbu, tune into the plume of large ones. A little water damage occurs after Zhuge Liang’s back, slowly expanding open. Sima Yi’s face was ashen, as if to drop down to the green, very afraid. There are thin wisp of white water vapor rises straight up, showing his internal forces are stretched to the extreme on his helmet. The sight of the gate actually seems distant and he can feel every step as heavy as Mount Tai pressure. Pieces suddenly worsened, and blew out, and fell in among the business transfer.

Three consecutive strong voice, he staggered pace, standing firm, for taking a Daozong stature wafting outside Shu Zhang. He went straight turning launched, saying loudly:? “Orders, the team changed after former team, Sima Zhao withdrawal one can not help but reveal the color of surprise, fifteen thousand troops, why fear a person Sima Yi Ming looked at his son, leaving a “his heart is not chaos,” Cui Ma rush to the army.

5 banjo verse
Baijuyi
Qing Song and stop singing, red sleeve of a robe has stopped dancing.
Zhao old man holding five strings, reverberates Dangxiong ask.
If loud coarse powder, whispering wind and rain.
Whispered fine-stricken, honestly spirits language.
Another example is the magpie Annunciation, transferred Yuanti bitter.
Ten no tuning, Zheng Yu Gong reversed.
Take off the smell of this sound, the absence of the main body and spirit.
Strider heard this sound, the stop can not move.
Sigh sigh laity ears, good old bad today.
So Lvchuang piano, day students dust.
