Chapter 993: Some things make me sad just hearing about them
In fact, the territory of the Jin Dynasty was wider than that of all subsequent dynasties, but after the young emperor had to choose to move the capital, it was equivalent to voluntarily giving up everything in the north.
As soon as the young emperor left the imperial capital, the demon clan's army had already moved south.
They were unstoppable along the way, like a strong wind, trampling on the land in the north and slaughtering the people on that land at will.
Countless people had to leave their hometowns and hide in the mountains and forests, hoping to escape this catastrophe. They were sallow and thin, walking through the mountains and forests, and they no longer looked like humans.
More like some kind of wild beast.
Their expressions were dazed, their eyes lacked light, and they looked like zombies.
They were powerless. When the rulers of the dynasty were unable to solve the problem, they really could not rely on what else the common people could do.
They are originally the weakest people in this land.
In a small county in the north, people have been pouring in.
In fact, it is not appropriate to call them common people, because many of the people here are wearing armor and carrying knives, but the armor is broken and the knives are full of gaps.
But they are still very different from the people hiding in the mountains and forests. There are many emotions in their eyes, whether it is pain, helplessness, or anger.
No matter what the emotion is, there are always emotions.
They gathered in this small county town, and from morning to dusk, there were more and more people.
When it gets dark, people light torches, and you can see the bloody faces illuminated by the firelight.
A general wearing tattered armor walked out of the crowd, stood on the stage, looked at the compatriots in the audience, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, everyone, we lost the battle and failed to stop those beasts."
In the crowd below, some people asked loudly, "General, are there no troops in the north?!"
The general nodded and said shamefully, "The border army was defeated, and the government army was also on the verge of collapse. Now there are deserters everywhere. We can no longer organize an army to continue to resist."
chaos.
Very messy.
This is the situation in the north of Dajin today. The people are fleeing in all directions. One army goes to the front line, and then is broken into pieces. Countless defeated armies are scattered. In today's north, all the people are the blood food of the demon clan. Once discovered,
There is only one outcome, and that is to be eaten.
"Your Majesty and the ministers in the court have gone south. The imperial capital has been moved to the south. No one will come to save you. To be honest, I feel very guilty. As soldiers, it is our duty to protect the land and the country, but we failed to do so.
Can’t stand it any longer.”
The general looked down at his half-broken saber, remembering the scene of his previous fight with the demon clan, and shook his head in pain. The gap was too big, and they had almost no ability to resist, so the demon clan dispersed the army at will.
, and then there was a unilateral massacre.
"right now I am
We can only go south. With so many people, there is always a possibility that someone can go south and save their lives."
The general took a deep breath.
A voice suddenly rang out from the crowd, "Can't we continue to resist?"
A young man in the crowd looked at the general and asked seriously, "Can't we continue to resist?"
The general looked at him and said helplessly, "The troops have been dispersed..."
The young man said firmly, "If the general's soldiers are defeated, then I will be a soldier of the general. I don't want to go south. I can live if I go south, but I don't have a home. My home is here. I don't want to leave. Even if I am
If I die here, I won’t go south!”
The young man's voice was not loud, but everyone could hear it clearly. When the young man spoke, someone soon said, "I don't want to go south either. My parents' graves are still here. I don't want to go. I
If you leave, who will go to my parents’ graves and burn paper in the future?”
"General, I'm not leaving either!"
Soon, voices rang out one after another. People who were about to lose their hometowns soon, and none of them wanted to lose their hometowns.
The general said tremblingly, "You don't even have a sword. Even if you stay, what can you do? It's just leaving your lives here."
"We don't have knives, but we have this!"
Some people raised the farm tool in their hands, which was a dung fork. Holding the dung fork, the people shouted seriously, "General, take us to kill those beasts and avenge our relatives!"
"Take us to kill those beasts and avenge our loved ones!"
The people got excited and shouted loudly. They waved their farm tools and their eyes flashed with anger.
Seeing this scene, the general clenched the broken sword in his hand and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Then we will kill those beasts and avenge our relatives. Even if we die, we will die here!"
As the general spoke, the defeated troops and the people in the audience all became excited. The blood that had not been lost was once again aroused. They spoke excitedly, and their whole bodies began to tremble, as if they were in the body.
The blood is boiling and cannot be stopped.
Following the general's order, this temporarily formed army left the county and began to walk north. They were going to fight a battle that was destined to be unwinnable.
Not far away, Chen Chao and Lu Ji just watched this scene silently, neither of them spoke.
After a long time, Lu Ji said, "You know, no matter how determined they are, they still can't change anything. The situation is over and they will only die if they go."
Chen Chao nodded, of course he knew.
"So what's the point of doing this?"
Lu Ji sighed with emotion, his face looking ugly.
Chen Chao said, "The backbone is still there, the blood is still there, and the human race will not be destroyed."
Lu Ji didn't say anything, he just thought of his old friend, who was in the same situation, the same situation, and he chose the same thing as these people.
Chen Chao said, "Dajin does not deserve to have such people."
Dynasties change again and again, mostly when the country fails the people, but rarely when the people fail the country.
Lu Ji looked at the young man in front of him and sighed, "Are you afraid that this will be the big beam in the future?"
Chen Chao shook his head and said, "Perhaps Daliang will be defeated, but it will not abandon its people like them. As long as I am alive, I will not allow such a thing to happen."
Lu Ji stopped talking and just stared at a precious tea set that was thrown on the ground not far away, wandering in his thoughts.
…
…
The army that could not be called an army left the county and headed north instead of south. The final result was of course not good. They did not cause any trouble to the demon clan. After they met, they were defeated quickly, but no one ran away.
He died on this land like this.
Many people became the blood food of the demon clan. The general cut off the head of a demon clan with the broken sword in his hand. Then, exhausted, he could only watch as the demon clan on the side took out his heart and ate it.
With.
The general's eyes widened and he just stared at the monster in front of him and died.
Like this army, there are second, third... countless such armies have been formed and are doing the same thing in this land, but the result is the same, they have accomplished nothing.
It's just that a lot more people died.
When these people were almost dead, the envoys of the Jin Dynasty rode in carriages from the capital city in the south to the military camp of the demon tribe in the north.
That messenger was the courtier who persuaded the young emperor to move the capital at the court meeting. Now he became the messenger and came here.
Looking at the demon army camp in front of him and the demon clan with terrifying faces, the messenger's face was so frightened that his face turned pale.
In the camp, he even saw various mutilated bodies of his compatriots, flies surrounded by flies on the ground, and some stinky internal organs.
The messenger's stomach was churning.
He finally couldn't help it and vomited beside him.
A demon centurion looked at him and sneered, "Maybe you will become something like this later, what is there to be afraid of?"
The messenger's face turned pale, but he did not dare to say anything.
When he was almost done vomiting, he stood up shakily and came to the big tent in the middle.
A tall demon general was taking great interest in cutting the skin of a woman hanging by his side with a knife.
>
Blood was constantly dripping to the ground, and the sound of dripping was endless.
The messenger looked at this scene, and his stomach, which had already been vomited, started to churn again.
The demon general glanced at the visitor and said casually, "What did that kid want you to do?"
In the eyes of the demon clan, the young emperor is just a child.
But really speaking, there doesn't seem to be any problem, after all, there is really nothing he can do to the demon clan.
The envoy held back his nausea, lowered his head and said, "His Majesty the Emperor asked me to come and negotiate peace with you."
After hearing this, the demon general suddenly laughed, "I don't know what qualifications you have to negotiate for peace. If we continue to fight like this, it will only be a matter of time before we destroy your human race. In this case, how dare you talk about negotiating for peace?"
matter?"
The messenger said, "If you continue to fight like this, of course we can't stop you, but the monks in the south will not just watch like this. They also know the truth of death and coldness. If you start to resist, you may still not be able to win, but you will also die."
Many people, General, do you think such a thing is worth it?"
The demon general did not speak, but cut a piece of meat from the woman next to him, threw it into his mouth and started chewing it.
Listening to the sound of chewing, the messenger's stomach felt uncomfortable again, but he was just holding it in, trying hard to hold it in.
"What you said makes sense... Of course we can kill you all at will, but it's really not worth it. Ten of your lives are not worth one of ours."
The demon general looked at the envoy in front of him, "But if you want a truce and peace, it's not just talk. You have to come up with something that satisfies us."
The messenger didn't dare to look at him and nodded and said, "That's for sure. We must satisfy you."
After a pause, the messenger said, "You can make any request. As long as we can do it, we will accept it. In addition, we are willing to cede 30,000 miles of Mobei to you first."
"Thirty thousand miles from Mobei? That place is right under our feet now. Do you still need to cede it?"
The demon general sneered, "That kid of yours is very aware of current affairs, but in my opinion, he doesn't even have the backbone of this woman. Do you know? This woman just took this knife and wanted to kill me."
, What a stupid move, but you can’t even find a few such stupid people.”
The messenger lowered his head and said, "She overestimates her abilities. Damn it, damn it!"
The demon general narrowed his eyes and said nothing, but just laughed.
In the big tent, there are destined to be two figures that no one can see.
Chen Chao looked at the demon general with no concealed murderous intent in his eyes.
