Heaven and earth are like a furnace.

And the history of the cycle is endless.

In the eleventh year of the establishment of the Wu Dynasty, the three behemoths between the heavens and the earth finally collided together. Thousands of people strangled and bleed, and small creatures rushed through their lives in a hurry. The beginning of this tragic war originated from ten. One day before the year, and if we want to get a deeper picture of its cause and effect, the vacillation between the heavens and the earth may be entangled in a deeper distance.

Even a spiritual god, I am afraid I can't understand everything in this world, and dullness is like human beings. We can only intercept the tangible small fragments of the heavens and the earth, so that we can see the truth or metaphor about the heavens and the earth. . Although this small piece is, for us, it is already an unimaginable behemoth...

In the eleventh year of Jianye, Liangshan was cold and barren in January. The accumulated food was eaten in the early winter of last year. The men, women and children on the mountain were fishing as much as possible, and the hard-working, the tens of thousands of Han troops outside the mountain occasionally attacked or cleaned. When the weather became cold, the fishing was weak. They abandoned the boat and jumped into the water, killing a lot. In the days when the outside world was hit, there was no fish, and people on the mountain needed more hungry.

Old people die in the winter, young people are hungry skinny, even children, most of the time are suffering from hunger. Less than 10,000 Huaxia Army and Guangwu Army relied on the advantages of the land and the military outside the mountain, and the situation on the opposite side became a stalemate. In fact, the situation outside the water is even worse.

The Shandong area, which is frequented by the people, is not a rich grain-producing land. The Jurchen East Road Army is going south, and it costs a lot of material, and Shantoutou has no food. In the autumn, the grain has not been harvested and it has been “expropriated” by the Jurchen army. In the late autumn, a large number of people have already starved to death. In order not to be starved to death, the young people went to be soldiers, and the soldiers were just in the fish town. Nothing went to the hometown. The days of these Han troops also became extremely difficult.

After the end of the late autumn, the 200,000-strong army that Yan Yanchang rushed to attack Liangshan also struggled in such a difficult situation. The people outside the mountain died too much. In the late autumn, the plague was still in the Shandong area. It was often the death of a village and a village. It was hard to see the living people in the town. Some of the troops were also infected by the disease. The sick soldiers were isolated and died in the epidemic camp. After they died, they were burned by the fire. In the process of attacking Liangshan, even some of the sick bodies were loaded with large ships and rushed to Liangshan. For a time, Liangshan was also affected.

After entering the winter, the plague temporarily ceased to spread, and the Han army did not have any military squad. Soldiers were fishing in the water, and occasionally two different troops met and they would be killed. Every once in a while, the generals commanded the soldiers to slash the simple wooden rafts to Liangshan, so that they could maximize the reduction of the staff. The soldiers died in the war, or directly surrendered to Liangshan’s black flag and Guangwu Second Army. It doesn't matter.

Resources are exhausted, and things that eat people are also commonplace. No one can afford more mouths. I wish that Wang Shanyue and others occasionally take soldiers out to launch a raid. These warless men The military formed a piece of land to beg for mercy, and even wanted to join the Liangshan army, only to ask the other party to stutter, and the hungry belly and other people can only let them disperse.

Soon after, they turned the assault into a smaller-scale dagger battle. All the raids were only targeted at the middle and high-level generals of the Han army. The lower-level soldiers were already starving to death. Only the middle and upper generals had some rations, as long as they were pegged. They, when they seized them, often found some food, but not long after, these generals were also very vigilant. They deliberately set up two times, and almost in turn would wish Zhu Xi and others to be in the game.

Hunger, the most primitive and tragic torture of mankind, turned the war of Liangshan into a desolate and ironic hell. When the old people who starved to death on Liangshan were lifted out every day, the hearts of Zhu Xi, who looked far away, had incompetence and resentment. They wanted to use the greatest strength to get out, but all the breath was The feeling of blocking in the throat. Hundreds of thousands of "Han Army" outside the mountains were driven by Yan Yan, who died with them here, and the lives of these "Han Army" themselves became worthless in the eyes of others or themselves. They are Everyone kneels in front of him, but he does not dare to resist.

In fact, even if they want to resist, Huaxia Army, Guangwu Army, and can not get any food. The once-famous Wu dynasty and the vast Central Plains have now been trampled into such a way that the life of the Han people is as ridiculous as the ants in front of the Jurchens. Such resentment is breathless.

Another battlefield is Jindi. The situation here is slightly better. Tianhu’s ten years of operation left a surplus for Lou Shuzhen and others. After the Weisheng was destroyed, Lou Shuzhen and others turned to the Jinxi area, and they maintained a base in the mountainous areas. The attack of the surrendering forces headed by Liao Yiren has been continuing. The long-term war and the chaos in the enemy-occupied area have killed many people. For example, the tragedy of Shandong’s hunger to Yizi has never appeared, and people are killed. Instead of starving to death, in a sense, this is probably a kind of ironic kindness.

Since the beginning of the winter, the people who eat in the bottom of the people are often boiled porridge with musty food. Lou Shuzhen took charge of the people's livelihood when he was under Tianhu, and he calculated the storage of the entire Jindi. This place is not rich and fertile. After Tianhu’s death, Lou Shuzhen vigorously developed the people’s livelihood and lasted for more than a year. In the spring of the eleventh year, it is difficult to recover from the mid-spring cultivation of the war.

I am afraid that I will start eating people in the fall of the eleventh year... With such an estimate, since the fall of last year, Lou Shuzhen has reduced the food expenses of the army and the government department with iron fists and thrifty. In order to lead by example, she often eats musty or with powdered food. In the winter, she is sick twice in the busy and running, only three days at a time, people around her persuade her, she shakes her head. Did not listen, the other extended to ten days, ten days of her vomiting, water meters difficult to enter, after the recovery, the bad stomach damage is very strong, when the spring arrives, Lou Shuzhen skinny skinny The head, the bones are as prominent as the cockroaches, and the eyes are sharp and scary - she seems to have lost the face and figure that she still said in the past.

She wrote in her notes: "...the winter has become more chilling, the white hair has begun to come out, the body is tired, and the fear is soon." Recently, I have not dared to take a picture of myself, often recalling the time of Hangzhou. Although the shallow is shallow, it is full and beautiful, and there are men who praise it. Compared with Su Tan, it is not bad. Now it is not a good thing... but these are fried, I don’t know when it is the end..."

When I feel hurt, I write: "When the rest of the death, I always want the Liao family to go ahead..." This kind of heart is going to kill the words of the whole family, and suddenly there will be iron and blood.

In these years, she often read the official documents or letters written by Ning Yi. Over time, the grammar is also indiscriminate. Sometimes she is thrown away by her, and sometimes she is saved. When spring arrived, Liao Yiren and other surrender forces gradually lost. The key officials and generals in the forces paid more attention to the stability and enjoyment behind them. Yulin and Wang Juyun and other forces took advantage of the situation, hit several times and even won the other side. Some supplies. The pressure in Lou Shuzhen’s heart was slightly reduced, and the body gradually slowed down.

In mid-January, the second battle of Xuzhou, which began to expand, became one of the focuses of people’s attention. Liu Chengzong and Luoye led more than 40,000 people to attack Xuzhou, and successively defeated more than 60,000 fake Qi Han troops along the way.

At this time, most of the East Road Army led by Zong Fu had crossed the Yangtze River, attacking the Wu Dynasty defense in Jiangning and Zhenjiang, and eagerly trying to face the battle in Lin'an. The resolute retreat of Liu Chengzong’s department has tightened the nerves of all people. The Jurchen East Road Army general Nie Erqi and others have urgently mobilized nearly 150,000 troops in various parts of the south of the Yangtze River to confront the black flag in Xuzhou.

Considering that the black-flagged army led by Ning Yi in the Northwest War had a record of killing the city through the secret road, the Jurchen army launched several repeated searches in Xuzhou, and was ruined in the war years ago. Some places that were cleaned up were quickly cleaned up, and this was relieved. The Huaxia Army’s troops camped outside the city, and even launched two storms in the middle and late January, which was like a cobra to deter Xuzhou.

At this time, Lin'an encountered the same situation in Xuzhou for a while. On the eighth day of January, the martial arts attacked outside the city, and the first ten parties retreated, and then they continued to circle outside Lin'an City. Although there is a lack of great strategy in the big strategy, the soldiers on the battlefield still have their own rules. The troops of the Qianwang City outside Lin’an City have not been able to benefit from his flexible and determined offensive. There are two successively in January. The second defeat, a fiasco.

In the city of Lin'an, the pressure is condensing, and in the city of a million people, officials, tyrants, soldiers, and the people each earn their lives. More than ten officials in the church were dismissed from prison. Various assassinations and fires in the city also appeared. At least one year ago, when the first squadron defended the war, the Wu dynasty had at least one heart. This time, more complicated thoughts and concatenations were intertwined and surging in the dark.

But in any case, in this month, more than 100,000 troops of the banned army will be surrounded by the entire city of Lin'an, and the people who defended the city hold down the thoughts of the city. In the direction of Jiangning, Zong Fu killed the army and attacked Jiangning. On the one hand, he split the troops and tried to go south in order to echo the martial arts of Lin'an. The team led by Han Shizhong succumbed to the route of the south, and even played a few times. Victory comes.

In mid-January, Yue Fei led the army to advance along the Yangtze River and inserted into the Jiangning battlefield at a high speed. In late January, Xi Yin and Silver Skills, which had a slower action, were stationed along the Huaihe River in the last year. The first line of the canal will enter the Jiangning and Zhenjiang battle circles.

More and more chaos is erupting everywhere in Wu Dynasty. Fujian Road, Guan Tianxia, ​​Wu Heilong and others led the uprisings to attack several counties and counties; Xuanzhou, the Central Plains emigrants headed by Cao Jinlu, rebelled and broke the state. City; Dingzhou, Hu Yuner also started in the name of Manichaeism... At the same time as the Central Plains gradually appeared anti-gold uprising, in the territory of Wu Dynasty, the various contradictions that were suppressed during the past decade, the oppression of the northerners by the Southerners, At the time of the arrival of the Jurchen, it began to focus on the outbreak.

Under such a background, in late January, the Huaxia Army squad from all over the country began their missions one after another. Wu'an, Changsha, Tuen Mun, Xiazhou, and Guangnan... There were successive crimes and slanders in various places. Organized assassinations, planned confrontations on such things, and various incidents of murder and murder also followed. Some Huaxia Army squads sneaked in the dark, privately connected and warned the swaying forces and the big tribes.

During this period, a team of 120 Chinese soldiers headed by Zhuo Yongqing rushed out and lobbied along the relatively safe route to visit the forces that had previously had business dealings with the Huaxia Army. During this period, two organizations were not strictly smothered. Some of the hateful forces who hated the Huaxia Army gathered "Yishi" and "civil corps" to stop it. One scale was about 500 people, and once it reached thousands, twice. After the assembly, another team secretly following Zhuo Yongqing defeated with a dagger strategy.

In order to cope with the actions of these special squads leaving their hometowns, in mid-January, the 30,000 Huaxia Army in the Chengdu Plain opened from Zhangcun and entered the boundary line of the east and the north to enter the state of war preparation.

The expansion of various things and the spread of news will take time to ferment. In the midst of the mid-January, there was a message that the merchants and the storytellers who walked around the country gradually spread to the green forests and towns of the Wu Dynasty.

An old man named Fu Lu, with the last dress of his former master, reappeared the green forest, and was heading east along the Yangtze River to Jiangning and Zhenjiang in the face of the war.

The news of the old man came out. Some people heard it from all over the place. First, it was silence and then whispering. It was rising and falling. Gradually, some people packed up the parcels. Some people arranged their families and began to go north. Among them, there were Old people who have already become famous but have taken the opportunity to go down the street, have been busy in the middle ages, and are also in the crowds who fled, and the embarrassing children...

Yizhang County, the infamous underworld murderer Jin Chenghu opened a strange water table.

Jin Chenghu is in his forties, and he is like a tower. He is a gangster who is fighting against the world after he moved south. After ten years of hard work, it is not easy to get rid of the savings. In the eyes of others, he is really a time of great strength. After ten years, Yizhang area, I am afraid it must be his territory.

On the 16th of the first month, there was no red and white wedding, and no new house moved. Jin Chenghu had to open this water table. The reason was that many people couldn’t understand it. His former rivals even feared that this guy would have to play because of something, such as “has passed. Yuan Zhen, you can start killing people and the like.

The running water table was opened for three days in the small school yard of Yizhang County. At noon on this day, the sky was suddenly snowing. Jin Chenghu drank some wine and stood on the high platform and looked up at the snow. He spoke up.

"You...the father of the village, the brothers, my Jin Chenghu, originally not called Jin Chenghu, my name is Jin Cheng. When I was in the North, I was a...hey!"

He held a wine bowl: "I am in the cottage, Dahu Village in Hedong Road! My master is Peng Dahu! He is not a good person, but a man! He has done two things, I remember it all my life! Jing Han XI In the year, Hedong food shortage, Zhou Yu Zhou Zongshi, to Da Huzhai to grain, he left the rations in the stockade, to grain 216 stone, the owner of the village did not say anything to give it! We told the owner, that Zhou Wei is only the master and servant three, we are more than a hundred men, afraid of him! The owner said at the time, Zhou Wei grabbed us for the world, he is not for himself! The owner took us ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ handed over There are two hundred and sixteen stone foods, and nothing is wrong!"

"The second thing!" He paused, and the snow fell on his head, face, and wine bowl. "Jinghan! Thirteen years of autumn! The golden dog went south! Zhou Yi Zhou Zongshi did not say anything, stab Sticky! Many people are following him. Peng Jiahu, one of my family's owners, is one of them! I remember that day, he was very happy to tell us that Zhou Zongshi martial arts came to the world, and last time I went to our stockade, he asked Zhou Zongshi to teach him martial arts. Zhou Zongshi said that you will be taught when you are no longer in a day. The owner said that Zhou Zongshi must teach me this time!"

"My family owner is one of the righteous followers who followed Zhou Wei's thorns!" He almost shouted out his words and had tears in his eyes. "He disbanded the stockade and said that he would follow Zhou Zongshi, you scattered. I am afraid, the Jurchen is coming, I am afraid! After the stockade is scattered, I am coming to the south. My name is Jin Cheng! I changed my name to Jin Chenghu, not a tiger character! The meaning of this name, I thought for more than ten years. . . . The original righteous men who followed Zhou Zongshi’s stabbing were almost dead. This time, the Fulu predecessors came out, I want to understand."

In the falling snow, Jin Chenghu swept his gang with his eyes. He was a few of the youngest people in the room, and then raised his hands with his hands high: "The fathers and the elderly, you Brother! The hour has arrived -"

"- Dissolve it!"

His whole body muscles are like a tower, and the plain face is quite scary. At this time, standing straight, but it is not handsome at all. There is heavy snow falling in the world.

Time passes through more than ten years, and there is a shadow in the long time that has been affected for a long time. His life and death have left a huge mark on people's hearts. His spirit, in his years and decades after his death, is still running through and changing the lives of many people...

Zhou Wei. Zhou Wei.
