On the evening of the second day of March, a small funeral was being held in Xiaocang River.
The mourners were two families - in fact, they could only be regarded as one family - Lu Yannian, who was sent back to the dead, still had an old wife at home, while his deputy Qi Zhenbiao was alone. Now, the bloodline is completely severed. As for those bamboos who have no news yet
Since the person who recorded the information was not considered certain to die, no arrangements were made at this time.
In the long shed set up on the mountain, most of the people who came to pay their respects were soldiers and members of Bamboo Records who were acquainted with the two families. Some were friends with those whose safety had not yet been determined. They also came to sit and have a seat. The dishes were not rich, only one cup per person.
Light Jiu. Ning Yi's family, Qin Shaoqian and other senior military officials were responsible for entertaining the guests. They briefly explained the general ins and outs of the incident, the Jurchens' behavior and the response here. Some people became excited and indignant. However,
After being whispered a few words by the officer who was accompanying him, Fu became quiet again. He only clenched his fists tightly under the table.
Half a year after defeating Xixia, Xiaocanghe has been developing and expanding in a quiet atmosphere. Sometimes, outsiders come in and the bustling scene of goods coming in and out almost makes people forget the depression of the year before the game against Xixia. Even,
In the past two years, those soldiers who came from the prosperous land of the Central Plains have gradually forgotten what the Central Plains was like. Only news of such deaths proves to people that the fierce conflicts outside the mountains have never stopped.
.
The murderous confrontation that once occurred under Bianliang City will sooner or later - or has already begun - appear on this land.
Ning Yi walked in the long shed with a white flower tied on his head. He nodded and whispered hello to every table that came over. Some people couldn't help but stood up and asked: "Mr. Ning, can we beat the Jurchens?" Ning Yi
Yi nodded.
"Of course we can beat them." He replied in a low voice, "The state that each of you is in on Dong Zhiyuan is the secret of the Jurchens' invincibility, even better than them. It is possible for us to defeat them, but of course, it is difficult
.It’s hard. It’s hard.”
He said these three are difficult word for word.
After probably saying hello to everyone, Ning Yi quietly left from the side, and Chen Fan followed him out. The two of them walked forward along the path in the mountains. There was no moon, and the stars were vast. Ning Yi inserted his hands into
The pockets on his clothes - he was used to having pockets, so Tan'er and others improved the short-sleeved clothes a lot, making them loose, light and energetic.
"Brother Chen, you haven't been on the battlefield for a long time, haven't you?"
"I haven't fought a few times before." Chen Fan held a grass stem in his mouth and laughed, "Actually, when I was with Sheng Gong, there was no way to fight. It was just leading people forward.
.Now this place is very different from the Shenggong uprising. Why do you want to send me out?"
"You are Fo Shuai's disciple and you always follow me. I always feel it is a waste."
"You are really calculating, and you are not willing to let others take advantage of you. You should let me have some leisure time. There are too many people who want to kill you. If there is a great master who is really desperate, Chen Tuozi and the others will risk their lives to protect you, but they will also
Afraid of negligence. You have already sent Zhu Biao to Shandong..."
"Hongti will come over in a few days."
"If a war really breaks out, don't you want Qingmuzhai? She will eventually have to go back and take charge."
"You can also ask Jin'er to take charge. Ride a horse and wear a mask."
Ning Yi made some gestures, and Chen Fan then laughed with him. In the past half month, the play "Tiger Thorn" was performed in Qingmuzhai and Xiaocanghe. The image of the Blood Bodhisattva wearing a ferocious mask has gradually spread.
.If it’s just to fill up the numbers, maybe Jin’er can really act.
But such words could only be regarded as a joke after all. Chen Fan looked at him a few times: "What do you want me to do?"
"Zhuo Xiaofeng and the others have been here for so long that they are familiar with the situation in Xiaocang River. I want to send them back to Miao territory. But after thinking about it, you are the one who can best suppress the formation. It is easiest to fight with Xigua
It's you and your wife who are coordinating this, so I have to ask you to lead the team."
Chen Fan frowned. He looked at Ning Yi and was silent for a moment: "Normally I wouldn't ask this, but...is it really now? Is there still a gap between...the Jurchens?"
"I also hope there is still time." Ning Yi looked at the valley below and sighed, "Kill the emperor, and less than 10,000 people will raise an army. In one year, we can defeat Xixia. In another year, we will be defeated."
There is no such thing as dealing with the Jurchens. I had never thought of doing this when I chose the northwest. If I was given a few years to open up the situation in the cracks, I could slowly figure it out. These four battles, the barren mountains and wild ridges,
It is also suitable for military training, and our situation will definitely be much better by then."
He shook his head: "Beating Xixia is not a good choice. Although the team's potential has been squeezed out due to this kind of pressure, the losses are also huge, and it is too quick to alert the snake. Now, other chickens and dogs are okay.
Pian'an, on our side, we can only look at Nianhan's intentions - but think about it, we are a small place that has not yet risen, but we have firearms, something that they are interested in. You are Nianhan, you
How to do it? Just allow us to negotiate terms with him here?"
"Is there any other way?" Chen Fan frowned, "What if we preserve our strength and stop and leave?"
"Brother Chen, I never thought you were such a forward-thinking person before." Ning Yi joked with a smile.
Chen Fan also smiled: "I am alone and can put life and death at risk. As long as I die well, it is normal to fight desperately, but there are so many people. How powerful are the Jurchens? I have never played against them, but I can imagine that this time
Their purpose of fighting down was different from the previous two times. The first time was a test, and they had no confidence in their hearts, so they decided to fight quickly. The second time was to defeat Bianliang and destroy the ambition of the Wu Dynasty, and the emperor captured them all. This time it will not happen
Just leave for fun. Three armies are coming. If you don't surrender, you will die. Not many people in the world can stop you."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "After all, the West Route Army only has 10,000 golden soldiers."
"Wanyan Lou's army is like a god. Last year and the year before last, he brought 10,000 to 20,000 people to fight over 100,000 or 300,000 people here, destroying everything. Not to mention whether we can defeat him, even if we can defeat him, this bone can't be defeated.
It's definitely not easy to chew. Moreover, if they really defeat their Western Route Army and the whole world resists the Jurchens, I'm afraid it will be us first..." When Chen Fan said this, he tilted his head and looked at him, "
You wouldn’t have thought of this, so what are you thinking about now?”
"I have discussed it with Shao Qian and Chengzong, and I have thought about several issues for a long time." Ning Yi looked forward, "I am not good at fighting after all. If we really fight, our chances of winning are really not good.
Is it big? How big will the loss be?"
Chen Fan thought for a while: "After all, Lou Shi's own ability must be taken into consideration. If it is just the West Route Army, of course there is a chance of winning, but... we cannot take it lightly. As you said, it is very difficult. Therefore, we have to consider that the losses will be huge.
Case."
"The emergence of firearms will change some things after all. According to the previous estimation method, it may not be accurate. Of course, there is nothing accurate in the world." Ning Yi smiled slightly, "Looking back, we are in such difficulties.
To open up the situation in the place, why did you come here? Defeated Xixia, and was driven away by the Jurchens a year later? Driven away? Doing business in peacetime requires probability and rational treatment, but when the world is in chaos, who is not standing still?
On the cliff."
"I'm not willing to do it." Ning Yi gritted his teeth, and his eyes gradually showed an extremely cold and ferocious look. After a while, the look disappeared like an illusion, and he tilted his head, "We haven't started yet.
, I shouldn’t retreat, I want to take a gamble here. If it is really sure that people like Nianhan and Xiyin are determined to plot Xiaocanghe and cannot coordinate, then..."
The night wind blew lightly. On the hillside, Ning Yi's voice paused: "Then... I will kill Wanyan Loushi at all costs. Even if Nianhan comes again, I will tear him apart."
When the next piece of meat comes, we might even consider the possibility of leaving them here."
Things haven't been done yet. Ning Yi's words are just statements. They are always calm and calm, and this time is no exception. After listening, Chen Fan quietly looked at the valley below. After a long time, he took a deep breath.
In one breath, he gritted his teeth and smiled, with a fanatical look in his eyes: "Ha, this is what it has to be, this is what it has to be. I understand, if you really want to do this, I will follow you, no matter what you do, I will
and."
He paused, nodded and said: "You know, when the Holy Duke revolted, it was said that there were hundreds of thousands of people in chaos, but I always felt that it had no meaning at all... No, the meaning at that time was not the same as
Compared with now, I really have no courage at all..."
Then he added: "If I tell Xigua about this, that girl will like you to death. On the surface, I don't say anything, but I turn my back, and there are stars in my eyes. Hey, that's it..."
Hearing what he said, Ning Yi also laughed: "It's just a temporary idea. Sometimes, the situation is stronger than the person. If there are changes, we can only take steps."
"I know." Chen Fan put his hands on his hips and pointed at him: "Be careful not to die. You must practice more martial arts."
"I am already a martial arts master."
Chen Fan looked ahead, shook his head, and said to himself as if he hadn't heard Ning Yi's words at all: "Damn, it's time to find some time. I teamed up with Zhu Biao and Master Lu to fuck Lin Echan.
, less of a serious enemy... Otherwise, you can just ask Xigua, Chen Tuozi or the others to help... I can’t rest assured..."
"Idiot..." Ning Yi curled his lips in dissatisfaction, turned around and walked forward. Chen Fan followed after thinking about things. As Ning Yi walked forward, he spread his hands and spoke loudly, "Everyone has seen it. Now I feel that I am looking for someone."
Wrong candidate."
"What I said is true and can be done." Chen Fan said.
"How can I have time to deal with that guy named Lin..."
The two talked for a while, and then they reached the small courtyard. A figure was wandering outside the courtyard, but it was Jin'er who stayed at home to take care of her children. She was wearing a floral jacket and was holding Ning Yi's little daughter Ning Wen, who was less than one year old.
Wen was walking outside the courtyard, and naturally there was a hidden sentry nearby. When Chen Fan saw that he had arrived at the place, he walked aside and stopped following.
Ning Yi walked over and sat down on the grass with Jin'er. Jin'er asked a few questions about the funeral, and Ning Yi answered. At this time, the flames in the valley below were spreading, and the traces of people made everything seem warm.
Er recalled what happened in Jiangning and talked a few words with Ning Yi. The days in the brothel, the comments he and his sisters made on each of the talented people in Jiangning, the small building by the Qinhuai River, and the living life with Yunzhu, every day
The morning mist in the sun, the running in the morning mist, the strange man running over. At that time, she could not have imagined that this man would become her husband, and of course she could not have imagined that the talented son-in-law and son-in-law she fell in love with would end up here.
Come.
If everything could be as before, that would be really exciting.
"We... can we still live like that in the future?" Jin'er said softly with a smile, "When the Jurchens are beaten away."
"When the Jurchens are defeated and the world is at peace, we will return to Jiangning and build a wooden building by the Qinhuai River. You and Yunzhu will live there, and I will run every day. You...well, you will be annoyed by the children all day long.
It can be seen that there are always some things that will not be the same as before.”
Jin'er smiled, and after a moment, she stretched out her finger and said, "It's an appointment."
Ning Yi reached out and hooked: "It's agreed."
That night, there were brilliant stars in the sky, and in the valley of the Xiaocang River, the lights of the people living in the mountains stretched like stars towards the mountain pass. At this time, the Jurchens were moving from north to south, and the situation north of the Yellow River had completely
Chaos arose. Most of the commercial roads were paralyzed, and the entry and exit of goods in the Xiaocang River gradually came to an end. However, on the fourth day of March, someone came with a letter, and what came next was the last large batch of large-scale goods shipped to the Xiaocang River.
Materials.
Very unexpectedly, it was a letter from Zuo Duanyou. After leaving Xiaocanghe, the Jurchens have finally invaded the south. Zuo Duanyou has made a decision and moved his family south.
A large amount of ordnance, iron tools, gunpowder, grain and other supplies were transported to the mountains of Xiaocang River, making the valley lively and lively for a while.
To the east, the Central Plains.
On the various highways from north to south, the fleeing people stretch for hundreds of miles. The big families are driving cattle and sheep, and the poor families are carrying packages and dragging their families. At every crossing of the Yellow River, ferries go back and forth.
They are all operating at overload.
Because the first wave of refugees from the Jin people coming south has begun to appear. The Jurchen army followed closely behind, killing each other one after another. After several battles in the first wave, another hundred thousand troops were defeated.
The land north of the Yellow River was pushed away like a sea tide. To the south, the Wu Dynasty court functioned as if it had been frightened, completely frozen.
Blood and life, the burning flames of war, sorrow and wailing, are the first price paid by this world...
