Chapter 736: Like rise and fall, like alternation (Part 2)
The pouring rain covered the rolling hills near Weisheng, and the fighting in Tianji Palace became intense. The soldiers' charging made the heavy rain boil. The generals led their troops to charge, and the offensive and defensive fronts were interspersed among the blood and corpses. Coming and going, the scene was extremely tragic.
The sudden heavy rain reduced the power of the gunpowder that was supposed to explode in the city, objectively extending the originally planned attack and defense time. And because the Tiger King personally led the team, his long-standing majesty supported the undulating front. And because of the The fighting did not stop, but the chaos in the city intensified.
On one side of the Tianji Palace, in the area that has been occupied by the rebel army, the negotiations carried out may be the key to truly determining the future situation of the Tiger King's territory - although this negotiation may not actually determine the situation of the Tiger King. The situation in the city The chaos will eventually lead to a fixed direction sooner or later, and outside the city, the army led by General Yu Yulin is already on the way. Although on the surface it seems to be just a political riot on the territory of the King of Jin. And counterattack, the situation inside is far more complicated than here.
"... Yang Shun, Fang Xiang, Su Ji, Shen An, Sheng Ben, Shi Xun, Sang Ying... Dou Zhao, Huang Da, Huang Xiaobing, Du Wei, Qian Linzhong, Hou Zhaolan..."
The heavy rain fell, accompanied by the listing of names in the room, and the indifferent expressions of the three old people opposite. Lou Shuwan, who was wearing a black dress, just stated calmly, smoothly and simply, and she didn't even have any words on her hands. Taking the paper, it is obvious that these things have been turned over in my mind countless times.
"...Due to the support of these people, today's launch is more than just a victory. At this time, a fire has been ignited on King Jin's territory..."
"Prince Jin! Do you know that it was Prince Jin who took you in in the first place!"
"Mr. Yuan, it's meaningless to say such things. Where were you when I was put in the cell?"
"So you colluded with the Chinese army!"
Lou Shuwan glanced at Yuan Zhanxia opposite him and ignored him.
"After this incident, Huaxia Arms sold 200 iron heavy artillery pieces to us, gave us a list of spies that the Chinese army had infiltrated into our side, and after the handover was completed, they returned to the southwest in batches."
After these words came out, the three people on the opposite side were stunned for a moment. The old man surnamed Tang waited for a moment: "Two hundred heavy artillery? Return the Chinese army personnel?"
Another person couldn't help but said: "Chinese military personnel...they have the final say...how can you believe it..."
Yuan Zhanxia shook his head and suddenly sneered feebly: "That's why..."
"So what if you don't believe it? This time, the mobilization in various places was mostly led by members of the Chinese Army. They took the initiative to evacuate a large number of people. Are the three of you still not satisfied? If the Tiger King is not confused, you three, you can get me two hundred iron cannons. , and clear out a group of them."
Lou Shuwan looked coldly: "Furthermore, Wang Juyun and I agreed to launch a simultaneous attack in the north today and press the border with a large army. However, Wang Juyun is a cunning and scheming person and should not be trusted. I believe he had already launched a large army to knock on the pass last night and take advantage of our side. Due to civil strife and the siege of the city, the three people who have properties in Gaizhou and other places are probably in danger..."
When she said this, Tang Shun across from him suddenly slapped the table and pointed at Lou Shuwan with fierce eyes: "You..."
"Things that fall into the tiger's mouth cannot be recovered. However, if we send someone immediately, we might be able to persuade him to negotiate and withdraw his troops. After this incident, we sold Wang Juyun's grain for a total of 200,000 shi. The transaction was divided into three times, one for each
It will be completed within the year, and the other party will deliver money, gold and iron, discounted to 80% of the market price..."
"You also colluded with Wang Juyun."
"Mr. Yuan, I respect you as a hero. Don't pretend to be confused anymore. The matter has reached this point. There is no point in talking about collusion. It is dictated by the current situation."
There was thunder outside the hall. In the somewhat dim hall, there was a thin woman on one side, and three old men with different but dignified expressions on the other. The confrontation was quiet for a moment. Not far away, that
The smiling, fat businessman watched all this quietly.
Times dictate.
Four simple words, but they have extremely realistic weight.
Lou Shuwan pursed her lips and took a breath: "You know better than me what kind of person the Tiger King is. He is suspicious of me and puts me in jail and a group of people in jail. He is so afraid that he is irrational!"
"Jin Dynasty Hall, this is not the first time that something like this has happened. If you want to kill people, they must save their lives. King Tiger may not kill me this time. On the contrary, for me, it is not the only way. However, he wants to
Deal with Black Flag, and Black Flag will deal with him."
"If it's just Black Flag, I don't care if I risk my life. However, there are more than just Black Flags in the Central Plains. What kind of person is Wang Juyun? Black Flag is connected from it. How could he let go of such an opportunity, even if he doesn't count my men?"
A group of peasants, even the Tiger King will shed a layer of skin when facing these two parties."
Lou Shuwan tapped her fingers twice on the table.
"Third, you can see clearly what the direct relatives of the Tiger King have been doing over the years. What kind of thing is the so-called number one in the Central Plains... The Tiger King has great ambitions. He always thinks that now the Jurchens are being arrogant and conciliatory, and they will have grand plans in the future.
Humph, Hongtu, if he hadn’t been like this, everyone wouldn’t have killed him today!”
When she mentioned this, Yuan Zhanxia frowned: "You are just a prostitute, but you are so ambitious as a man, yet you speak so loudly and make random judgments! You want to be like a dog with the Jurchens, but you are not unreasonable in speaking so loudly!"
Lou Shuwan looked at him: "I don't know if I will be a dog or not, but I know very well whether I will die! Black Flag has resisted the Jin for three years, just because they have great ambitions!? There is no group of relatives among them to rob the people.
Women, **** burned to death! If you have great ambitions but don’t know how to reflect on yourself, you will die!"
"I can see this, Tian Shi can see it, Yu Yulin and a large group of people can see it. Following the Tiger King means death, betraying the Tiger King means going against the Jurchens, at least it is better than following the Tiger King.
The vitality is much higher!”
She spread her hand: "In as short as three years or as long as five years, the Jurchens may depose Liu Yu and personally take charge of the Central Plains. Kill Tian Hu, first use two hundred cannons, and connect to the line of the Chinese army.
, eliminate the cause of the civil strife, and then join forces with Wang Juyun, there is room and time for change. Or maybe the three are loyal to the Tiger King and do not cooperate with me to eliminate the civil strife. I kill the three, the Chinese army makes the matter bigger, and the King of Jin's territory is divided.
During the civil strife, Wang Juyun took the opportunity to pick all the peaches..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Three of you, I am a female generation. I just want to survive in this troubled world. I can be a housekeeper, but I can't fight. Even if you want to be in power, you
Men are not afraid of me either. When the Jurchens come, I kneel down immediately. The three of you can choose to fight or surrender. But whether you fight or surrender, if you want to save your life, you have to let the Jurchens look at you a few times.
This is all I have to say and do, please let the three elders consider it."
As she finished speaking, there was a strange silence in the palace amidst the rustling of the heavy rain.
In fact, the situation is stronger than people, stronger than anything else. In this silence, Tang Shun smiled and looked at the short and fat businessman aside - they had already seen this man, but Lou Shuwan didn't say anything, so they
Not asking, at this point, has become a way to resolve the embarrassment: "I wonder who this is..."
"Messenger of the Chinese Army." Lou Shuwan said coldly.
"Dong Fangxian, the shopkeeper of Zhuji, has met three elders." The short and fat merchant took a step forward with a smile.
"Big shopkeeper, I have long admired your name."
Hearing this name, the three old men who were extremely arrogant in front of Lou Shuwan all bowed their hands respectfully in return. They were one of the top shopkeepers in Bamboo Records. They had heard this name before. Since Xiaocanghe San
Years from now, no matter which force you are in the Central Plains, you will probably find it hard to be arrogant if you really see someone with this status in the Chinese army.
These people, the direct descendants of the inner demons, cannot be described simply as scary.
"Big shopkeeper," Yuan Zhanxia said, "Black Flag took advantage of everything this time."
"Mr. Yuan's words are serious." Dong Fangxian smiled and said, "These things are all for your sake after all. The King of Jin has limited vision and limited ability. He has only stopped here. Unlike you, as long as the chaos is brought to order, there is still a great future.
I, Zhuji, sold artillery and withdrew manpower again. To be honest, Mr. Yuan, this time the Chinese army is simply losing money and making a profit."
"Oh? By doing this to our side, the Chinese army has lost its capital?"
"Original misunderstanding, as long as you don't treat Zhu Ji as an enemy, you will find that our Chinese army only made a profit in this transaction." Dong Fangxian smiled, then his smile became much smaller, and he said seriously:
"On this trip to the north, the landlady asked me to bring you some words. The world has collapsed, and China's greatest enemy is the Jurchen. Back then in Xiaocang River, you were persecuted by the Jurchen. Although you and I are in opposition, we are forced to do so.
Now that the Chinese army has gone to the southwest and will not go north again in the short term, there will naturally be no conflict of interest with you. You and I are both Chinese Han compatriots, and our interests are the same."
"The Jurchens' seizure of the Central Plains and the establishment of the Puppet Qi is ultimately a procrastination and expedient strategy. Once the country is settled and they have enough energy to annex the south, they will not let go of this prosperous place. Under the Puppet Qi's tent, you may be willing to compromise.
If the Central Plains is really firmly in the hands of the Jurchens, I am afraid that your relatives, family members, and friends will never have peace again. Therefore, now is the day when you and the Jurchens will definitely have a conflict, and the Chinese army will be behind you."
"Helping you become stronger is to gain time and space for us. We live in a difficult place in the south of the world, and everything is inconvenient. But by establishing a good relationship with you, we can just get what we need from each other.
Let’s become stronger together. You and I are both Chinese people. In this critical situation where the world is overturned and all living beings are in ruins, we must join hands to fight against the Jurchens. This time I will remove Tian Hu for you. I hope you can eliminate internal troubles and bring order to chaos. I hope you and I can both
Only when we can put aside past grudges and have good cooperation for the first time can we have the basis for the next cooperation. In this world, the living space of the Han people is too small. It is better to be friends than enemies."
After Dong Fangxian said this seriously, the three elders were silent for a moment, and Tang Shun said: "Even so, you Huaxia Army are really making a lot of money..."
"Compared to resisting gold, it's not big after all."
This is just another emperor killed, and it is indeed not a big deal... However, after hearing Dong Fangxian's statement, the three of them felt that they could not refute. Yuan Zhanxia said in a deep voice: "Is the Chinese Army really sincere?"
Dong Fangxian straightened his face: "Former Gong Mingjian, the Huaxia Army is now a thorn in the Jurchens' eyes and a thorn in their flesh. Even if they are not afraid of the Jurchens, they can only choose to stay in the south of the sky for the time being. We will not come up again in a short time. Three years of resistance
Jin, with the sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of people, it is not easy for the Chinese army to accumulate a reputation in the Central Plains. Have you ever seen such a reputation being wasted casually? Kill Tian Hu because Tian Hu wants to attack us, and we are about to do the same.
Tell everyone that the Chinese army cannot be insulted. Since we have a reputation, we must open trade routes and trade, so that we can exchange what we have and benefit each other. Mr. Yuan, our first business is to do it to the world.
People can see it, have you ever seen someone who would destroy his or her own brand? If you destroy your reputation and make you sick, it will be difficult for us to have a chance to communicate with the Central Plains. Everyone is afraid of the Chinese army, so what good will it do?
"
"However... during those three years, we finally helped the Jurchens and killed many of you..."
"Hey! See what Mr. Yuan said." Dong Fangxian laughed and waved, "Children only talk about right and wrong, adults only talk about gains and losses!"
This sentence is generous and inspiring.
"As long as there is an opportunity for cooperation in the future and we can join hands to fight against the Jurchens, all the misunderstandings in the past can be erased! To resolve the misunderstandings, someone must take the first step. Gentlemen, the Chinese Army has already taken the first step.
The first step.”
"Alas." At some point, someone in the hall sighed, and the silence lasted for a while.
"...Actually, when the Tiger King insisted on dropping the money...I dissuaded him. After all...the situation is stronger than the people..."
This voice and words did not sound like they had much meaning. They were gradually submerged and dissipated in the heavy rain.
In the heavy rain, soldiers surged.
A huge ram hit the city gate.
The long knife flew over the head.
With countless steps, the general led the team to kill the crowd.
The killings on the city wall, people falling over the high, high bluestone wall.
The king who was once the hunter ran roaring.
Countless, countless raindrops.
A city of fighting.
Overturned city.
Crazy city...
This kind of chaos is still spreading in similar but different situations, covering almost the entire Jin King's territory.
In Zezhou, someone was running away. With his hair disheveled and half of his body stained with blood, he rushed through the huge city that was in chaos.
"The Tiger King has been crowned——"
"Tian Zeyun conspired to rebel——"
"All good citizens are not allowed to take to the streets, and those who violate the rules will be shot to death - everyone, listen up, all good people are not allowed to take to the streets, and those who violate the rules will be shot to death. As long as you stay at home, you will be safe-"
"Hungry ghost! Hungry ghost has entered the city——"
There were countless chaotic shouts, fires were rising into the sky, and smoke was rising into the sky.
Lin Zongwu had a gloomy face, and Tan Zheng and others had already left the temple with a large number of green forest people and were making arrangements around it.
Then, Lin Zongwu saw Wang Nanda running towards him. He obviously fought with someone and was injured: "Black Flag, Sun Qi..."
Lin Zongwu had already vaguely realized something.
"Sun Qi is dead."
After Wang Nanda said this, he didn't stop yet.
"The army, the army is coming..."
Lin Zongwu gritted his teeth and his eyes were extremely ferocious. At this moment, he remembered the figure he saw not long ago.
Looking back, Tan Zheng was still carefully arranging manpower, constantly issuing orders, arranging defenses, or going to the prison to rescue martyrs.
The iron hooves of the army horses trampled through the long street and rushed in: "I have been ordered by General Yan to kill the Manichaean rebels. All the green forest bandits who gathered here with weapons and refused to surrender will be killed without mercy -"
This was just a small, small vortex in the chaotic city. At this moment, the green forest heroes who had not done anything were sucked into it. The city full of opportunities turned into a killing place.
A sea of fireworks spread out in the city at night...
