In the second year of Jingkang's reign, it was a quarter of the morning on the ninth day of the first lunar month.
That was when Hu Biao traveled to this world a minute or two ago.
Kaifeng, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, was considered the most prosperous place on the planet at the time. It was located outside the Jinyao Gate.
I heard a sound of crying behind me, which kept reaching my ears.
Liu An, who was already a little upset, the head catcher of Kaifeng Mansion, immediately cursed in his own mouth:
"What are you doing that can make those golden people cry to death? If you want to blame, it's your bad luck. You were born in such an era of war and chaos, and human lives are worse than dogs."
Amid such scoldings, in the background was a group of women with gloomy expressions.
They either sat on carts pulled by mules and donkeys, or simply walked, escorted by a group of government officials.
Except because some women in the team thought about the tragic fate of falling into the hands of Jin Bing in the future.
Except for the uncontrollable sobs, the entire team was eerily silent.
Even the leader of the team, a policeman from Kaifeng Prefecture, and the government officials and helpers under his command who were responsible for escorting, were extremely ugly during the whole process, and had no intention of talking to each other.
Seriously, what is there to say?
Ever since the Eastern Route Army of the Jin Dynasty attacked the Song Dynasty in November last year and once again attacked the city of Kaifeng, the situation in the city has become more difficult day by day.
On the second day of the eleventh month of the leap month, the Jin Bing West Route Army also appeared at Kaifeng City.
In total, a total of 150,000 troops surrounded the huge city of Kaifeng, completely cutting off contact with the outside world; and then used a large number of equipment to continuously attack the city.
Originally, the Jurchens did not know how to attack cities, but after occupying the Liao territory, absorbing many Liao soldiers to join them, and continuing to learn, they became much better at attacking cities.
Hundreds of stone cannons surrounded Kaifeng City and fired continuously. Each shot was a stone as big as a stone, and the power was astonishing.
There are also a large number of other siege equipment such as fire ladders, goose carts, bridges, and tunnels, which pose a huge threat to the soldiers defending the city.
Fortunately, today's new officials often go to the city wall to express condolences to the soldiers guarding the city and have meals with them.
When the soldiers heard that there were not many stone bullets left to defend the city, they immediately ordered people to go to Genyue, the royal garden, to select suitable stones, pull them up on the city wall, and throw them at the Jin soldiers.
But even so, as the moat under the east wall of Kaifeng City was filled up by those golden soldiers, the situation became increasingly difficult.
Reinforcements? Where are the reinforcements?
The Western Army, which was once the strongest in the Song Dynasty, was finally blocked outside Tongguan; King Qin's army in the world did not arrive in time.
Finally, on the 25th day of leap November, we faced a fierce attack from the Jin soldiers across the board.
The officials and the court officials finally resorted to the last resort at their disposal:
Guo Jing, a demon Taoist, was sent out of the city to meet the enemy with six thousand of his subordinates, composed of Taoists and gangsters wearing Taoist robes.
He hopes to use the "Six Ding Liujia" technique that Guo Jing calls "Six Ding Liujia" to recruit a group of heavenly soldiers and generals from the sky and defeat a group of golden soldiers outside the city.
It's embarrassing to say that Liu An also had high hopes for the famous 'Guo Shenxian' that day.
Of course, when Guo Jing led people out of the city, he still knelt on the roadside, burned incense and prayed, hoping that Guo Shenxian would show his power.
The result? Most of his Taoists and scoundrels were killed by the Jin soldiers, and Guo Jing didn't know what happened. Then, the Jin soldiers broke through the outer city of Kaifeng City.
The Song Dynasty was so defeated that even the current official Zhao Heng personally went to the Jinbing camp to sue for peace, but the Jurchens were taken hostage.
Then, there are some unbearable memories for everyone in Kaifeng City.
In order to make the Jin soldiers retreat, the officials and the court officials agreed to the Jurchens and offered a huge sum of money as a condition for retreating.
The exact number of them, even the highest-ranking agent in their group, didn't know.
What they could know was that not only was the treasury of the Song Dynasty empty, but also the gold and silver from the homes of wealthy households, civil and military officials, and royal nobles in the city had been plundered.
Even the gold and silver artifacts in the Imperial Ancestral Temple that were offered to the old Zhao family were pulled out of Kaifeng City by carts and sent to the Jinbing camp.
But even so, it seems that the money promised to Jin Bing is still not enough.
What should I do? I can only beg the Golden Soldiers to give them some more time.
Under such circumstances, a group of women in the team were all Kabuki and dancers organized by the Kaifeng Prefecture in the private sector, and were ready to be sent to the Jinbing camp outside the city to please the Jurchens.
And those Jurchen barbarians are cruel, and it is self-evident what will happen to these Kabuki and dancers.
Under such a situation, no matter whether it was Liu An and the other government officials who were being escorted, or the Kabuki dancers who were about to fall into the trap, no one could be happy.
But what they don't know is that in their current team.
A drunken woman lying on an ordinary-looking carriage was none other than Zhao Jinfu, the Maode Emperor who was known as the most beautiful princess of the Song Dynasty.
When one of her palace maids, Li Shi, was captured by the Jin soldiers, in order to survive, she told the Jin soldiers in detail how beautiful Emperor Maode was.
Such remarks immediately aroused the interest of Wanyan Zongwang, the second prince of the Jin Kingdom.
Immediately, he asked for it by name.
With the permission of Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty, Emperor Maode, who was now 24 years old and considered a wife, was coaxed and made drunk by the Kaifeng Mansion.
She secretly sneaked into this group of Kabuki dancers and planned to dedicate them to Wanyan Zongwang.
What these government officials and Kabuki dancers didn't even know was that this situation was just the beginning.
In the time to come, more aristocratic women who were once unattainable in their eyes will be sold to those golden men like goods at a price of up to a thousand ingots of gold and as little as a hundred ingots of gold.
After enduring some great humiliation, he died tragically.
For example, Emperor Maode, the most beautiful princess in the Song Dynasty, first became Wanyan Zongwang's plaything, and after the death of the second prince of the Jin Kingdom, she was occupied by Wanyan Xijun.
Even among the Jurchens, Wanyan Xijun was known for his cruelty and perversion.
But a year later, the most beautiful flower of the Song Dynasty royal family died in the hands of Wanyan Xijun. The specific cause of death was "a rupture of the drought road".
However, every time the above stories are read by later generations of Chinese people, they feel a bit sad and inexplicable history.
At such a point in time, there is suddenly a group of netizens from later generations. How will some of them change?
****
"Well! The weather is good today~"
After opening his eyes, he saw a big sun above his head and his body temperature was around fifteen or sixteen degrees, which was considered lukewarm. Hu Biao said this sentence.
As a veteran who has already experienced four missions, he is currently in a good state of mind.
With a good attitude, this guy began to observe the surrounding environment.
I first found myself in a dilapidated village that had long been deserted; except for some corpses and wild dogs, there was no movement of any other living creatures at all.
Before the formal exploration, Hu Biao quickly checked the equipment and supplies he carried.
See what items were pulled down by the system during the transmission process.
Fortunately, after using the elimination method based on the experience gained in previous missions, it can be said that 95% of the supplies Hu Biao carried this time were retained.
There is no shortage of weapons and armor.
After confirming this point, Hu Biao planned to take a walk around the area to find out where he was, what day he was, and other important information.
You know, the entire Second Song-Jin-Kaifeng War, known as the "Shame of Jingkang", lasted for several months.
It can be said that it is very important when the Xuange Camp team joins this war.
Because this is related to whether they have enough time to operate to avoid such a huge shame from happening.
According to Hu Biao's many deductions, the earlier the better anyway; if they could travel through time during the First Kaifeng War, then they would be 100% sure to change the situation of Jingkang's Disgrace.
If it is the second Kaifeng War, if you join when the war just starts, and you can do it well, you will be 80% sure.
And the further back in time you travel, the lower your confidence is.
However, the total time it took for Hu Biao to cross over did not exceed five minutes. At that time, Hu Biao, who held a horse spear in his hand, walked to the door of this small village.
Suddenly, the familiar cold mechanical sound of the system sounded in my ears.
Not only did it report some situations in the mission world, it also directly triggered the first phase of the mission:
"Congratulations to Commander Hu Biao, the first phase of this mission has been officially triggered. Please pay attention to the following system arrangements for your identities, as well as some related mission requirements.
First, Hu Biao, Fengrui, Ah Li, Zhan Xiang and other people who successfully survived to the end in the previous mission continued to maintain their original identities.
Other members of the Xuange Camp team who died once, as well as new additions from netizens.
His current identity is Hu Biao and Hu Yitong, former deputy commanders of the Victory Army.
After hearing that the Jin Kingdom once again besieged Kaifeng City, they led a group of thieves from Xuzhou on the northwest road of Beijing, and formed a very small reinforcement force composed of Jiaofangsi Huakui.
Because Yue Fei and others in this mission were still deeply impressed by the members of the Xuange Battalion who died in front of them.
Therefore, except for Hu Biao and the other four people who survived the last mission, the appearance system of the others will be disguised to a certain extent.
Second, mission requirements: Before midnight on February 10, the second year of Jingkang, Zhao Jinfu, a member of the royal family of the Northern Song Dynasty and the fourth daughter of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, Maode Emperor Ji, must survive.
If Maode Di Ji Zhao Jinfu dies, the mission at this stage will be considered a failure, and the system will give a penalty of randomly erasing ten people.
Third, after the first phase of the mission is completed, the number of surviving members of the team and netizens must not be less than fifteen.
If the number of survivors is less than fifteen, even if Zhao Jinfu survives, the system will still randomly kill five of the remaining personnel as punishment.
Fourth, during this phase of the mission, team members and netizens are not limited to the activity area.
However, Maode Diji Zhao Jinfu's range of activities is limited to Kaifeng City and the surrounding 30 kilometers; if it exceeds this range, the system will determine that this phase of the mission has failed.
Warm reminder: A team belonging to Maode Emperor Ji Zhao Jinfu is currently heading to the Jinbing East Route Army Camp.
They will pass by your small village in 5 minutes; if you don't want to rush into the Jinbing camp to save people, you'd better seize this opportunity.
During this mission, whether Commander Hu Biao dies in battle or due to system erasure, it will not lead to the destruction of the team.
However, a new temporary commander will be randomly generated to temporarily command the team to continue the mission.
Finally, I wish you all all the best and successfully complete your mission..."
After hearing the above situation, Hu Biao's head suddenly went into chaos, and his eyes became frighteningly red due to congestion.
Damn it! Why doesn’t the system follow the routine?
If we follow the system's previous routine, after each mission starts.
Shouldn't they first have a basic understanding of the newly added netizens and some situations in the mission world before starting the battle?
The current situation is that the first phase of the mission is triggered within a few minutes after being teleported; and at most ten minutes later, you will face a battle. I have never seen it before?
For a time, various problems arising from system tasks immediately flooded Hu Biao's mind.
For example, there should be no problem in rescuing people in the team first, but the crux of the problem is what should they do and where can they go after rescuing the Maode Emperor?
Go back to Kaifeng City? Absolutely not.
Based on Hu Biao's understanding of this period of history, the gift of Emperor Maode to the Jin people had the permission of her brother, who was an official, and the tacit approval of me, who was the Supreme Emperor.
They were afraid that if they sent their front legs back, the useless father and son would send their daughters and sisters to those golden soldiers again.
On the contrary, the two men, who were afraid of the golden man like a tiger, would order the heads of their group to be chopped off in public without any hesitation.
But if you don't enter Kaifeng City, there will be hundreds of thousands of Jin Army soldiers surrounding the city.
In addition, the system restricts Maode Diji to a range of 30 kilometers outside the city. It can be said that there is no possibility of even finding a place to hide.
In short, in a short period of time, Hu Biao could not think of any way to break the almost certain death situation in front of him.
Fortunately, he didn't expect that he could completely rely on the power of Yang Dongli, the team's staff officer.
Of course, this does not mean that Hu Biao is convinced of the rest of the team and cannot think of any good solutions.
But Comrade Yang Dongli, an old man, is always quick-witted and usually performs better.
After thinking about his delay for twenty or thirty seconds, Hu Biao could no longer bear to waste his precious time.
The words he spoke immediately were similar to the tone of "hurry up to the Tathagata Buddha" when the Jade Emperor who was hiding under the table asked for help from Lingshan when Sun Wukong was causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace.
Facing the air, he hurriedly shouted: "System, you damn well teleported people here right away~"
Faced with Hu Biao's normal request, the system would naturally have no objections.
Almost instantly, while people were still in the system space, the members of the Xuange Camp team heard a sentence:
"The commander of your team, Hu Biao, is calling you to go to the world of the second year of Jingkang to participate in a brand new system mission. Will you accept the call?
Warm reminder, if you do not accept the call, you will be kicked out of the Xuange Camp team and all memories of the system will be erased."
It has come to such a time that everyone does not need to think at all. In everyone's mouth, they immediately said:
"Accept the summons and teleport immediately."
Then, before the familiar feeling of spatial distortion came, they habitually closed their eyes in order not to lose their sight temporarily.
But after a second or two, Yang Dongli, who felt something was wrong, opened his eyes.
He found that he, the wild ghost, and the lecturer were still in the system space. They knew that the system had malfunctioned again during this transmission.
Then, unfortunately, the three of them were tricked.
Among them, the lecturer's buddy had a look of despair; because he had been stuck by the system during the transmission twice in a row.
Little did he know that in the system space, Yang Dongli was still eagerly waiting for him to find a way to break the situation.
After letting out a long sigh, he suggested to the wild ghost and the lecturer: "Wash the pot, burn the oil, and prepare something to eat. We can do these things now..."
Just like every time the system summons relevant personnel for help, in a familiar space distortion, two distinct groups of people appeared in front of Hu Biao.
One group is naturally the veterans of the Xuange Camp team, and the other group is the new rookies who have been added this time.
But what was different from before was that Hu Biao was in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to take a look at the new unlucky ones who had just been summoned by the system this time.
Not to mention getting to know some of their situations and seeing who can develop.
Everything depends on whether they can survive after the initial crisis. Otherwise, no matter how good the seedlings are, they will die early, and then nothing will matter.
With this thought in mind, Hu Biao immediately looked at the crowd of veterans.
After taking a quick look at it, I immediately felt a big thump in my heart because there were a lot of people missing among the crowd of veterans.
At a quick glance, six people including Yang Dongli, Wild Ghost, Lecturer, Fengrui, Ali, and Zhan Xiang were missing.
Counting him, there were originally 26 members of the Xuange Camp team, but now only 20 people appeared in front of them.
More importantly, facing the worst start of the mission in history, without Yang Dongli as a combat consultant, what should they do next...
