Zhui Xu

Dongping, Shandong, Yanggu County.

The black plume rises into the sky with the burning flame, and the burning of the golden rice is filled with the smell of charred rice, and then the sound of footsteps and shouts, mixed together. Between the horizons, the road is full of people coming and going, hurried footsteps, all kinds of shouts.

"...to go, the Jurchen cavalry, have already called, go to the city. Several big cities in the north have been slaughtered. Do you know that the people in Zhangzhou are all killed, chicken? The dog does not stay..."

The shouts of the officials in front, gathered in the crowd, became intermittent. A woman carrying a basket, carrying a sickle and rushing down the rice field, cried and desperately harvested. The ragged old screamed and rushed to the roadside soap: "You killed me, you killed me, I don't go! Let the Jurchen come to eat my old bones... you are blaming... ..."

Someone stopped the old man, and the old man struggled, and finally fell to the ground, his head smashed with stones, and then the blood was full. In the chaos of the vocals, on the side of the road, a small conflict broke out between the villagers and the soldiers. The county magistrate ran and said: "Don't fight, don't fight." Suddenly, the forehead was flying. The stone that came over slammed, and the blood also flowed from the head.

This moment of conflict triggered more chaos, the autumn wind whizzed past, and the fire helped the wind, pushing the fire on the field far away, as if it were a long red and black carpet, with rice ears, grass, paving To the distant woods...

The people in the chaos looked far away and were stunned by the huge flame.

From Yanggu County to the west. Most of the places in Hedong Road and Hebei Road are stretched in a gloomy autumn rain. The rain fell down in the hazy sky. On the road from north to south, there were robes, pedestrians carrying baggage, Hummers carrying luggage, and big cars crowded south. The old man was not cold and fell to the ground. The child in the woman's arms was wet by the rain, and wowed. The stations and restaurants along the way were filled with pedestrians who were displaced.

On the banks of the Yellow River in the autumn rain, all the ferry. Fully full. In the undulating waves, all the ships are constantly moving back and forth.

In the middle of August of the thirteenth year of Jinghan, a huge wall of Qingye began.

"Call, young is so good..."

South of Dongping House. A crowd is coming. Busy and noisy courtyard. Ning Yi, who had been asleep for more than a minute, came out of the room and washed his face. In the distance, it is like a cloud of fire.

There are running horses from time to time outside the courtyard. Handed over all kinds of news, from the west to the east, Hedongdong, Hedong, Jingdongdong, Jingdong and Hebei, and other five roads, nearly 20 states, the status quo of nearly one hundred counties are gathered here, the curtain of the bamboo The members of the regiment went in and out, summed up the information, and formulated countermeasures. They also waited for Ning Yi or the people to hear the approval.

Qin Shaoqian stepped in from the outside of the hospital. The military battalion of Wurui Army was nearby. At this time, there were various actions. Qin Shaoqian occasionally came over the door. Ning Yi smiled: "I just got up, it should have been good morning, but it’s already getting dark. Two less, there is something good..."

"Zonghan attacked Taiyuan and started yesterday." Qin Shaoqian held an intelligence in his hand.

Ning Yi’s expression was slightly stunned, and then he reached out and took the information. The members of the staff who passed by hand handed over a piece of paper and whispered: “We just received it.”

Ning Yi took two sheets of paper and looked there. In fact, this is already a long-awaited thing, and for Ning Yi this piece, the meaning of the information sent is just a look. However, the confirmation of the news means that the situation in Taiyuan's siege has been fixed, and Qin Shaohe, Li Pin, Cheng Zhouhai and others have already been trapped inside. Because of acquaintances, the news is more or less heavy.

"The thing that is far away from the horizon, started attacking yesterday. This time may have been broken. I just brought it to you to see it. It’s not Liheng’s business. Why bother?" Seeing Ning Yi’s slightly frowning, Qin Shaoqian’s The smile was open-minded and reached for the intelligence.

Ning Yi looked at him: "Taiyuan is a strong city, it should be as fast as you said."

"My big brother, it seems to be more pedantic than the aunt on weekdays. In fact, he reads more books than me. He knows the city and he will not command. The people in the city who have your bamboo records, and the boat Hai, I know him the most. He is a poison, and with the people under your hand, I really can't hold it. He can drive people from all over the city to the wall. I don't think it will break. If it breaks. "That is due to the number of lives." Qin Shaoqian had a big beard and smiled easily. "The most important thing is that it can't be hydrolyzed too far, Taiyuan's thing, you and me, worry is useless."

"It’s good to think clearly." Ning Yi smiled. "That's your side."

"Just to come and tell you this." Qin Shaoqian said, "Ready to send troops."

Ning Yi looked at him and looked at the sunset in the distance, and he sighed again.

This day is August 15th.

*

In the middle of August, north of the Yellow River, it has fallen into a huge chaos.

Following the completion of Yan Zonghan, the end of Yan Yan's room in Zhangzhou and Daizhou, a slight adjustment, the Jurchen West Road Army drove tens of thousands of people and captives, and pushed the front to Longcheng Taiyuan.

To the east, with the victorian's Changsheng Army as the vanguard, the nearly 100,000-strong army led by Yan Yanzong Wang was not attacked after the deterrent Jinan, but under the leadership of Guo Pharmacist, straight into the southwest direction. The army quickly entered the central area between Jinan, Daming and Dongping.

The Jurchen warriors are rolling in and rolling all the way. After breaking through Yanjing and breaking through the three towns of Hebei, the East Road Army barely stopped on the way. The troops of the Wu Dynasty along the way were either quickly defeated, or they were left behind by the army before the defense line was formed. At this point, it has entered a subtle situation.

Right now, defending Jinan, Daming, Dongping’s Xiangjun, and Wuwei, Wusheng, and Wurui’s three armies, totaling more than 200,000, have been mobilized with the beginning of the war. It is in the corner of the corner and is facing the female real east road army. The atmosphere is chilling. The war is a slap in the face. Ning Yi came to Dongping with Wurui camp only three days ago, and the situation of Jianbi Qingye has just been put into operation, and the war has already been pushed to the eye.

The rhythm of this war is not determined by the Wu Dynasty, but from the Jurchen. Once the more than 200,000 troops are hesitating, the East Road Army of Yan Yan Zongwang will break through the name of Da Ming and Dongping and go straight into the hinterland of the Central Plains.

But the so-called one-touch is, for the insiders, it is just a self-deception. The Yan Lu Zongwang’s East Road Army took Guo’s pharmacist as a pioneer, starting from his striker’s deterrent to Jinan. The entire situation within a few hundred miles of this circle has been completely controlled by Jurchens. It is said that it has hoarded more than 200,000 troops in the Wu Dynasty in three directions. In fact, it is hard to say who dares to move. The army in most of the three directions is arguing. After the city of Zhangzhou, no one has made the psychological foundation for hard battle. But the Jurchen is going to rush from the encirclement.

Everything comes too fast. Even for Ning Yi. This is all the case.

"Fifty thousand people go to Shouzhang County. You are opposite to the 100,000 people of Zongwang and Guo Yao, no matter what, two less. I can't buy you to win this time."

The sunset was blushing, Ning Yi pressed down the things at hand, and Qin Shaoqian walked out of the yard with wine and meat, and looked at the military camp in the distance on the nearby grassy slope. Qin Shaoqian took a sip of wine: "At least 200,000."

"Da Ming Liang Zhongshu, Jinan Zhang Youqing, what kind of virtue is it, I can't say it, I don't know if I fight, but if you really believe, I will send you four words."

"Oh? What is Liheng's knowledge?"

"Furinkazan."

"Sun Tzu's Art of War..."

"Retreating into its sorrowful wind, and returning to cover its Xu Rulin. The looting of money and money is like a fire, and the friendly forces are incapable of moving..."

Qin Shaoqian squatted on the grass **** for a while, then laughed and laughed for a while, then said: "How can I fight?"

"...Yes." Ning Yi took a sip of wine and whispered.

Qin Shaoqian said: "But no matter what, I have to go. Anyway, I also want to compete with the end of the world, such as Yan Zongwang and Guo Yaoshi."

The Qin brothers and brothers were one and one martial artist. They used to be officials in the past. However, because Qin Yuyuan valued Ning Yi and occasionally came back, there were still contacts between the two sides. Qin Shao and Qin Shaoqian regarded Ning Yi as the father’s fellow and even the cloak. One of the descendants, in a sense, is a friend or a family member, and the relationship is really good. But this time, the Jurchen came quickly, Ning Yi was just north, Qin Shaohe was trapped in Taiyuan, and Qin Shaoqian had already gone to Shou Zhang to face Yan Zongwang. In any case, this feeling is complicated.

Although Qin Shaoqian’s mouth is an understatement, he has a heroic battle against the world’s famous generals. Ning Yi also knows that he has the ability, but the Wu Dynasty’s elbows for the generals are deep. He is the commander of the Wurui camp and can fight the army, but the highest for the army. Management, on the other hand, belongs to the civil servant who is above him, that is, the current Dongping government has been slightly appeased.

Like Qin Shaohe, although he is a civil servant, he guards Taiyuan and has the highest command of the Taiyuan army. And Qin Shaoqian, not only has a civil servant who can speak, but he really dominated Wurui Camp for only one year. The soldiers did not know that they would not know the soldiers. For the management of the army, there is no way to penetrate all aspects of this army. Even because of the strong old man's care of Qin Yuyuan, the civil servant has a little less checks and balances on him. He said that he can take the Wurui camp army to block the Jurchen 100,000 army, which is something that no one can believe.

Qin Shaoqian himself, of course, does not have the confidence, but when things come to the forefront, as a soldier, they will no longer think more. Ning Yi naturally understands. After talking about the previous sentences, the two men drank for a while, Qin Shaoqian asked: "Li Heng thinks the result of this war, if it is lost, how much can we lose? ”

“Do you think it’s just losing money?”

"The Blackwater Alliance is also losing money. The 200,000 Jurchens can't take up our country."

"The Blackwater Alliance Liaoguo has been late, and it has been satisfied with the old currency. Jurchen has just established the country and is on the way to progress, so it is difficult to say." Ning Yi hesitated, "and the things that have been done in the past few years have been too much." It is."

Qin Shaoqian was silent for a long while and looked at Ning Yi: "I am a martial artist. I only fight. Liheng is a literati. Like my aunt, I understand the big picture. Do you really think that this step?"

The distant mountains are late, and although the two have not been in a good relationship, they have just seen a few days this time, things are busy, and there is not a lot of time to chat, but at this time, the wine is helpful, when the autumn wind blows, it is more Said for a while.

"I'm not sure." Ning Yi handed the jug to Qin Shaoqian and said, "But some things are a word of a family. You can talk about it. In the past few days, various news came here, not only where the Jin people hit. It’s not just a matter of hard-nosedness. From the beginning of the Jurchen to the south, the resistance of the localities has not stopped. First, Zhou Zong’s master led more than 70 people to assassinate Yan Zonghan, and then three towns in Hebei, there is a small county called Shuanghe. In order to cover the evacuation of more than 5,000 people, the county magistrate Du Yongnian took more than 300 people to attract the attention of Jurchens. They used the terrain to fight for more than five hundred female cavalry soldiers. After the army was over, Du Yongnian After being captured, the other side looked at him heroically and said a few words to him. Du Yongnian yelled at the ancestor from beginning to end and was finally decapitated."

Ning Yi said, while drinking a bite of wine: "Then is Hebei ancient cottage... It was originally a village, but you know, many people are still in the village under the mountain, when the Jurchen used to kill the village. There are more than one hundred people, under the leadership of the king of the village, Wang Cheng, ambushing the Jurchen army, rushing to the battle, a charge, all dead. After Wang Cheng, Yang Wei darts chief head Yang Xiao after dismissing the darts buddy and family ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I am alone in the singer Yan Zongwang, he is one of Zhou Wei’s disciples. At the same time, there is a green forest Dahao who hopes to bring more than ten masters, the same is to assassinate the ancestors... These days, these kinds of news The total number of zeros and zeros has not been broken. I asked my men to make them into a story and say it. After listening to it, how do you feel?"

"Okay, they are all heroes." Qin Shaoqian slightly surging, patted his thighs and expressed respect. "I can have these people in Wu Dynasty, there is still hope!"

"No, it is these people who represent the vast majority of people in this country who have not done what they should do." Ning Yi also had a three-point drunk, his fingers waving in the air, "The emergence of these heroes, It means that after the founding of the Wu Dynasty, the dividends accumulated in the positive direction have been completely squandered by the predecessors." (To be continued.)

Ps: Ok, let's start with a simple rhythm. This chapter has repeatedly overturned at least six beginnings. The past eight days have been around it, from brewing to writing to continuous overturning and rewriting, and now finally determine the core of the next episode. On the New Year's Day, the double-monthly ticket was full of empty windows. The sixth editor gave me the arrangement of the middle seal. In the end, I had to ask the editor to withdraw it. It’s really bad at the beginning of the year, but at least, I am worthy of the book itself, and I am worthy of my literary goddess... Hey, it’s really life to write it down... but it’s good, new The year, continue to follow the non-writing standards! ()
