Chapter 591: The Zongheng Iron Cavalry and the Storm (5)
Beside the forest and beside the river, in the dim atmosphere, there was only a little light burning on the torch. The images of the people around were very dense, but also seemed to be very sparse, and the shadows stretched out longingly. The number of people around was unknown.
Several skirmishers also quietly came over and listened to the man under the tree talking to the east about the situation in Qixian County. Then, there was a slight silence for a moment.
"...It's difficult to summarize whether what happened today is right or wrong. In the final analysis, you are doing a job for Zhuji. I never said you were going to the battlefield. I brought you here and sacrificed so many people.
Companion, I feel guilty in my heart, but guilt cannot solve the problem."
In the light of the torch, Ning Yi's voice was not loud, but as it spread in the night wind, it was enough for people around him to hear clearly.
"Tonight, no one can solve this matter, not even an army of more than 100,000 or 200,000 people can solve it. Leave it to you and me, look at the people around us, we have tried our best. But, I am standing here talking to you,
I want to bring up some unreasonable thoughts with you."
"Strengthen the walls and clear the fields." Ning Yi said a little tiredly, "This is what our Zhuji people have done recently. Many people don't understand and come to make noise. How can we complete the clearing with so many people around Bianliang?
What's the point? In fact, it doesn't make sense to do it now. There are too many people around Bianliang. If there are people alive, there will be food. Even if we evacuate nine out of ten, tens of thousands of Jurchens will still be able to find food here.
Things have no meaning at all."
"For some people who are used to being vague, and some officials, if one million people take away 500,000 yuan, it is a very good result, and if 600,000 people take away 600,000 yuan, it is even more gratifying. But for us, it is not
, From the beginning to the end, there are so many people to leave, and we are zero. One million people cannot move away 950,000, and what we do has no meaning at all." He waved his hand, and his tone became fierce, "
From the very beginning, this is what we have done!”
“I don’t know how long this matter will take.” Ning Yi’s tone softened, “If the army is defeated, what will happen to everyone and what will happen to the capital? I don’t know if this battle will stop here.
I don’t even know if the city is broken or the Wu Dynasty is dead. But if the fight continues, I will do my thing. But now that the Jurchens are attacking the camp, the people there may no longer have the heart to fight. They
If we lose the food, grass and baggage, what we are doing now will be brought back to its original state."
When he said this, he paused. It was also because he was injured and tired from talking. He looked behind him and found a stone to sit down. Someone in the crowd said, "Master, you can just say what you want to do."
"That's not what you said. I'm a reasonable person." Ning Yi sat down and shook his head, "I want you to die. I have to make it clear to you. Otherwise, if everyone dies, you will still blame me on the road to hell...die
Don't blame me, I'm very jealous of this."
He breathed out: "Of course, there is a possibility of immortality. I want to choose some people who can still move and have good martial arts skills. Go to Qixian and see if the people in the camp have burned all the food, grass and luggage.
, we turned around and left. If not, we have to do this. There are only two thousand Jurchens, and there are still a lot of people around Qixian County. It is a mess. We try to find a way to go in and out quickly, and leave as soon as we are done.
Maybe there is still one life left. It’s just... this plan can still work. Who is willing to follow me?"
After he finished speaking, Zhu Biao came over with a gun. Among the crowd, the voice that had just spoken also stood up holding on to the tree. Several others also stood up. They were all former Liangshan people and could still move. Zhu Ji
Everyone still receives a lot of positive publicity on weekdays, but after all, this is the situation. How many people are not only injured and tired, but also worried and hesitant. Ning Yi just sat on the stone to rest, quietly.
Looking at all this carefully, his words just now were not without motivation and incitement, but that was enough. He was not willing to force anyone to do such a thing.
One after another, people stood up again, but they heard someone next to them whisper: "Chen Tuozi, you don't want your wife and children anymore?"
The figure in the darkness over there was a slightly hunchbacked warrior, who was being reminded by his companion who was seriously injured and lying on the ground. The hunchback smiled coldly: "I, Chen Tuozi, have never been a good person. When I was young, I committed murder and robbery.
Mother-in-law, she was also snatched away, but she couldn’t do anything about it after she followed me. I came here just to make a living, but at least I know clearly what Zhuji has done in the past few years and how many lives he has saved.
I can clearly see how many people I have met. I have done a few good things in the past few years. Today, someone asked me to fight with the Jurchens. I don’t care about them, but my life is on the line here.
,My pleasure."
This Chen Tuozi is a sinister figure with a bad reputation in the world. At this time, he said generous words and smiled, but he also looked a bit sinister. The person next to him nodded and said: "Chen Tuozi is right." Someone else stood up.
Get up. Chen Tuozi said to Ning Yi: "By the way, boss, let me tell you, you do such things, others don't know, but we know. People always come to trouble you all year round. Last year,
A group of sworn brothers from my early years also came over and said they wanted to kill you to make your name famous. I, Chen Tuozi, have a bad reputation. When I told them what you did, they didn't believe me and thought I was bribed. I won't say it anymore. A white knife goes into a red knife.
He went out, killed them all, and took their bodies outside the city and buried them."
When everyone heard what he said, they were a little silent, but someone said: "You didn't even call me for this matter." Ning Yi sat on the stone and laughed: "Who is your boss, who gives you food? Why?
, you want me to thank you?"
He was not polite, but Chen Tuozi was originally a member of the evil sect, and he was the most susceptible to this trick. At this time, he said: "I'm not talking about this, boss, you have done so many things and saved so many people, but I can't do it. I, Chen
Hunchback's reputation is not that big of a deal. We used to value our sworn brothers very highly. After a few years in Zhuji, looking at their appearance, we think it's nothing. If you say you want to do something today, we will go and help you.
But you don’t have to go, you can just rest here and wait until we come back to announce the good news. That’s all I have to say!”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After he said this, the people around him immediately responded: "Yes, yes, Chen Tuozi is right!"
"Master, you can't go, let's go!"
"You don't need to do anything about this."
Amidst the noise, Yuwen Feidu stood up on the ground where several seriously injured people were not far away and was raising his hand: "I, I want to go..." Ning Yi looked carefully and stretched out his hand: "
Help him quickly!" Someone helped the fallen boy and let him lie on the ground again. Ning Yi stood up with a serious look: "Okay! I am not holding a conference here, and I won't talk to you about democracy! Let's take advantage of the opportunity now.
Everyone is breathing a sigh of relief, Zhu Biao picks someone up! Leave those who are too seriously injured to me, and don’t make up for it! My bloody man Tu Ning Liheng, Zhou Tong has to be polite when he sees me, and Lin Echan doesn’t dare to speak loudly in front of me
, do you want me to teach you how to do things?"
At this time, there were dozens of people who were willing to go to Qi County with Ning Yi. After he said this, Zhu Biao went to further select people. At this time, someone else raised their hands: "I, can I go? I don't
I’m injured and I’ve practiced some moves, so I can help!”
That was a skirmisher next to him who was not a member of Zhuji. After this man finished speaking, someone else in the crowd stood up. Someone else said: "My brother died just now. I think what you said is reasonable. I can talk to you."
go……"
The Wu Dynasty's army was mixed with good and bad from top to bottom. It was difficult to trust each other in large-scale battles. But even so, there were always some outstanding characters in the army, and some were also passionate. At this time, the little man in the darkness
On the riverside, figures were seen standing up hesitantly and walking out of the crowd. The night wind blew by, Ning Yi looked at this scene, Zhu Biao looked at Ning Yi, and on Yue Fei's side, some soldiers began to sign up. After a while,
Ning Yicai said coldly: "It doesn't just matter if you have passion, but you can go if you can kill people and have skills."
Then he added: "Don't blame me if you die there."
His tone was cold and blunt, but when Zhu Biao went over to pick someone, he put his hands together one by one to test his kung fu, and said with a smile: "He will be his brother from now on." Many people felt their chests burning.
****************
When the seventy or eighty people gathered on Ning Yi's side crossed the river and hills, dragging their tired bodies towards Qixian County, the farce of intrigues and intrigues caused by the defeat of the Western Army in the capital was reaching its climax.
The teacher went to the room outside the fan building and looked through the window at the army rushing through the streets. The city in the night became faintly noisy, disturbing the sleep of many people. For ordinary people,
, guessing in his mind whether the Jurchens had begun to attack the city again. On the solemn Royal Street Avenue, many courtiers who had arrived blocked the emperor's car and were begging the emperor to return to the palace.
Zhou Zhe had been losing his temper for a long time, but the development of the situation at this time was really beyond his expectation. Originally, he wanted to drive all the ministers back home in the name of curfew, but then the orders started to be issued.
There was a vague commotion in the city. Li Gang came to report, but he said that someone had leaked the news about the Western Army's defeat. Now many people in the city were about to start rioting. The most important ones were the group of imperial students who had to endure the curfew in the middle of the night.
They went out to the palace to petition - I don’t know how they connected in private.
The defeat of the Western Army was already a major event. In addition, problems began to arise in the city. Once people knew that the emperor had left overnight, I really didn’t know what would happen. Li Gang kowtowed and said that the army had been mobilized to maintain order. Zhou Zhe watched
The veins on his forehead were bulging, and then Li Gang said again that the Jin envoy was still in the city. If they knew that His Majesty had left the city, the Jin army in the north would definitely bypass Bianliang and chase south.
At this moment, Zhou Zhe also felt that there was nothing he could do to save his life.
In the Nanxunmen Gate Tower, the curses of the uncle Liang Feng resounded through the night sky. In a small room on the side of the tower, the city guard general Cao Yan was walking around anxiously, with a sad look on his face. He had wanted to do it several times.
He went out, but the reason why he didn't do so was because of a figure in the corner of the room.
"Go out and open the door. The general will be a sinner for the ages."
In the darkness, the figure was holding a Buddhist bead and moving it slowly. It was vaguely identified as Monk Jueming, a staff member of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, who was also a relative of the emperor...
*******************
boom--
Half an hour later, in the palace, Zhou Zhe broke a huge vase.
"How unreasonable! How unreasonable! This group of civil servants, these gangs of traitors... They are forcing the palace! This is disrespecting the emperor! They don't see me as an emperor in their eyes - "
The queen knelt on the ground, facing Zhou Zhe who was almost going crazy. But Zhou Zhe ran over, pulled her up, and sat her aside. After a while, he came to her again and said, "You are confused! You are also confused.
!Queen, you..."
He waved his finger for a long time, and finally waved it down: "Oh, I'm confused too! Queen, look, any disturbance in the city, any noise, these are all caused by them! Those who advocate war, those who advocate peace, they all
They have joined forces to oust me as the emperor, Li Gang! No, Qin Siyuan! Only Qin Siyuan has such means. He thinks that if he didn’t show up today and call others to block me, I wouldn’t know about it! I, I know it all...
…”
When he said this, he was stunned for a long time, and then shook his head: "No, no, no, maybe it's not just him... Cai Jing! Huh, old thing, Cai Jing, don't I know? On the surface, he rushed over to show off.
The way he went south with me, in fact, he...he secretly manipulated me to only focus on other people. I don't know what this old dog's methods are, it's amazing, or he will leave.
After leaving, he can still suppress all the guys who are not on his side. No matter what, he will make money. These things, I, I..."
He said this for a long time, and even his tone stuttered: "As soon as the situation stabilizes, these guys, I will beat them one by one, beat them all again, let them... know how powerful I am.
...I am the emperor!"
"I am the emperor..." he said, "the top priority is peace talks, negotiations, no, no, no... there is no way to talk, the Jurchens have taken advantage, it is difficult to talk, but we have to talk anyway...
Immediately send someone to summon the golden envoy to discuss the matter..."
Before he finished speaking, someone came into the palace and reported to him: "...there was a riot in the city. Some imperial students and people rushed into the residence where the Jin envoy Wang Ru was temporarily staying. In the chaos, they beat Wang Ru to death.
Already."
"You..." Zhou Zhe stood in front of the throne, clenching his hands and looking at the eunuch who was reporting the message. After a while, his body swayed and he sat on his seat, his clenched hands on his knees and his lips pursed tightly.
, trembling slightly with anger...
"Okay..." He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay... let them go..."
*******************
In Bianliang City, Qingluo Garden is a small garden. Occasionally, Qin Siyuan would stop here to rest. It was already late at night. In the darkness, Qin Siyuan was sitting in the pavilion, looking as if he wanted to look beyond the surrounding courtyards and the city wall.
, to see the place hundreds of miles outside the city.
Some people are already nearby, and some are also coming, including Yaozu Nian, Jueming, and even Tang Ke.
"I don't want to do this unless I have to, but it's beyond my control." He closed his eyes, and after a while, he sighed tiredly, "Nian Gong, after this incident, I'm afraid it will be hard for you and me to have a happy ending...
…”
The voice was low and no one spoke.
Outside the city, in the east and north directions, within a range of nearly a hundred miles, the diffuse beacon smoke began to dissipate, and hundreds of thousands of defeated soldiers, wounded soldiers, and corpses were scattered over this vast area, scattered and fleeing. In this
At night, the second prince of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Zongwang, completed his strategy and defeated almost all threats near Bianliang in one fell swoop. Late autumn was gradually dying down, and next, the cold winter was approaching...
