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 came over quietly 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.br> "...it is difficult to conclude whether what happened today is right or wrong.
Okay. When you work for Zhuji, in the final analysis, you are doing a job. I never said you would go to the battlefield. I brought you here and sacrificed so many companions. I feel guilty in my heart, but guilt cannot solve the problem.
."br>In the light of the torch, Ning Yi's voice was not loud, but as the night wind spread, it was enough for the people around to hear clearly.br>"Tonight, no one can solve this matter,
An army of more than 100,000 and 200,000 people can't solve it. Let's leave it to you and me. Look at the people around us. We have tried our best. However, I am standing here talking to you because I want to give you some unreasonable thoughts."br
>"Strengthen the wall and clear the wilderness." Ning Yi said a little tiredly, "This is what our Zhuji people have done recently. Many people don't understand that they 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 withdraw ten percent*, tens of thousands of Jurchens can still find food here.
Things have no meaning at all."!--#@mylogohere@#-->br>"For some people who are used to being vague, some people who are officials, one million people and five hundred thousand are gone.
It is a very good result. It is even more gratifying to take away 600,000 people. But it is not the case for us from beginning to end. If people can’t leave, we will be zero. One million people can’t move away 950,000. What we have done
It makes no sense at all." He waved his hand and his tone became fierce. "From the beginning, what we have been doing is just such a thing!"br>"We don't know how long it will take to do this.
"Ning Yi's tone softened, "If the army is defeated, what will happen to everyone, what will happen to the capital, I don't know if this battle will stop here. The city is broken, the Wu Dynasty is dead,
I don’t even know. But if the fighting continues, I will do my part. But now that the Jurchens are attacking the camp, the people there may no longer have the heart to fight. If they get food, grass and baggage, what we are doing now,
He was knocked back to his original shape." After he said this, he paused, also because he was injured. When he was tired, he looked behind him and found a stone to sit down. Someone in the crowd said, "My boss.
You just have to tell me what you want to do."br>"That's not what I said, I am 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
Everyone is dead, but you still blame me on the road to hell...Don't blame me if you die, I am very taboo about this."!--#@mylogohere@#-->br>He breathed out: "Of course, there is a possibility of immortality.
.I want to select some people who can still move and have good martial arts skills. Go to Qixian County and see if the people in the camp have burned all the food, grass and luggage. We will turn around and leave. If not, we will have to do this.
Come and do it. There are only two thousand Jurchens, and there are still a lot of people around Qixian County. It is a mess. We will find a way to go in and out quickly, and leave as soon as we are done. Maybe we can save one life. This is... such a plan.
Who can still move, who wants to follow me?" After he said this, Zhu Biao came over with a gun. In the crowd, the voice that just made the sound also stood up holding on to the tree, and several others stood up.
He was once a native of Liangshan and could still move. The people of Zhuji usually receive a lot of positive publicity, but after all, this is a situation where many people are not only injured and tired, but also concerned and have more or less hesitations.
Ning Yi just sat on the stone to rest and watched all of this quietly. His words just now were not without motivation and incitement, but it was enough here. He was not willing to force anyone to do this.
It’s a matter of...
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 about what you did, they didn't believe me and thought I was bribed. I won't tell you 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!”
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. He 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. Ning Yi stood up with a serious look: "Okay! I am not holding a conference here. I won't talk to you about democracy! Let's take advantage of this opportunity.
Everyone is breathing a sigh of relief, Zhu Biao picks someone up! Leave those who are too seriously injured to me. 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 poses. 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. In large-scale battles, it was difficult to trust each other. But even so, there were always some outstanding characters in the army, and there were also some who fought hard. At this time, the little man in the darkness
By the river, I saw figures standing up one by one 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 matter if you have hot blood, 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 and tried their kung fu. He said with a smile: "He will be his brother from now on." Many people felt their chests getting hot.
****************
When the seventy or eighty people gathered by Ning Yi crossed the rivers and hills and rushed to Qixian County dragging their tired bodies, the farce of intrigues and intrigues caused by the defeat of the Western Army in the capital was heading towards the end.
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 broken soldiers, wounded soldiers, and corpses were scattered over this vast area, scattered, and fled. 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 gradually subsided, and then, the cold winter was approaching... (To be continued)
