At the edge of the low forest, on the bank of the small river, in the dim atmosphere, there was only a little light burning on the torches, and the images of the people around were very dense and sparse, and the shadows and shadows had been stretching longingly. The unknown number of stragglers around also quietly came over, and listened to the man under the tree talk about the situation in Qixian County to the east. Then, there was a slight silence for a moment.

“…… Today's events are difficult to summarize whether they are right or wrong. You are doing things for Zhuji, in the final analysis, you are doing a job, I didn't say that I wanted to go to the battlefield, I brought you here, and sacrificed so many companions, I am ashamed in my heart, but guilt can't solve things. ”

In the light of the torches, Ning Yi's voice was not high, but as the night wind spread, it was enough for the people around him to hear clearly.

"Tonight, no one can solve this matter, the army of more than 100,000 or 200,000 can't solve it, let you and me, look at the people around us, we have also done our best. But I stand here to speak to you to raise undivided thoughts to you. ”

"Solid wall clearing." Ning Yi said with a little tiredness, "This is what our guys in Zhuji have done recently, many people don't understand, come to make noise, there are so many people around Bianliang, how can it be cleared, what's the point." In fact, it doesn't make sense to do it now, there are too many people around Bianliang, there are people alive, there is food, even if we withdraw eight or nine times out of ten, but tens of thousands of Jurchens can still find something to eat here, it makes no sense at all. ”

"For some people who are accustomed to vague words, and some people who are officials, the departure of 500,000 by 1 million people is a very good result, and the departure of 600,000 is even more gratifying. But not for us, from start to finish. If we can't finish walking, we will be zero, and if a million people can't move 950,000, there will be no point in what we do. He waved his hand, his tone becoming ferocious, "From the beginning." That's what we do! ”

"I don't know how long this will take to happen." Ning Yi's tone slowed down, "The army has suffered a defeat, what will happen to everyone, what will happen to the capital, I don't know, if this battle will stop here, the city will be broken, and the Wu Dynasty will die." I don't know. But if I have to fight, I'm going to do my thing. But now that the Jurchens are attacking the camp, I am afraid that the people over there will no longer have the heart to fight, and if they get the weight of grain and grass, what we are doing now will be beaten back to its original shape. ”

When he said this, he paused, also because of the injuries on his body. Tired of talking, he looked behind him. Find a rock and sit down. But someone in the crowd answered: "Owner, what do you want to do, you just say it." ”

"That's not the case, I'm 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 will die, and you will still blame me on the Huangquan Road...... Don't blame me if you're dead, I'm taboo about this. ”

He exhaled: "Of course, there is also the possibility of immortality. I'm going to pick some people, and I'm going to be able to move. If the people in the camp have burned all the grain, grass and baggage, we will turn around and leave, if not, we will have to do it. There are only 2,000 Jurchens, and there are still a lot of people next to Qixian County, and it is a mess, so we can find a way to get in and out quickly, and leave when we are done, maybe we can still leave a life. It is...... Such a plan. Who wants to follow me? ”

After he said this, Zhu Biao had already come over with a gun, and in the crowd, the voice that had just spoken stood up with the tree, and a few other people got up, all of them were former Liangshan people, and they could still move. There is still a lot of positive publicity on weekdays, but after all, this is the case, how many people are not only injured and tired, but also worried, and more or less hesitant. Ning Yi just sat on the stone to rest, quietly watching this qiē, his words were not without encouragement and incitement, but it was enough here, he was not willing to force anyone to do such a thing.

One after another, someone stood up again, but I heard someone next to me whispering: "Chen Huozi, don't want your wife and children anymore?" ”

The figure in the darkness over there was a slightly hunchbacked warrior, being alerted by his companion who was lying on the ground with a serious injury. The camel sneered: "I, Chen Camel, has never been a good person, I killed people when I was young, and my mother-in-law was also robbed, but after following me, I can't help it." I was eating here as a mixed meal, but fortunately, I can tell clearly, what Zhu Ji has done in the past few years, how many people have been saved, how many people have lived, I can see it clearly, and I have done a few good things in the past few years. Today someone else asked me to fight with the Jurchens, and I didn't want to fight him, but this life is sold here, and I am happy. ”

This Chen Huozi was originally a ruthless person with a bad reputation in the rivers and lakes, and when he said generous words at this time, he laughed in his mouth, but he also looked a little gloomy. The next to him had already nodded and said, "Chen Huozi is right. Someone else stood up. This Chen Huozi said to Ning Yi: "By the way, the owner, let me tell you, you do such things, others don't know, we know." Last year, a group of righteous brothers from my early years also came to me, saying that they wanted to kill you to make a name for themselves, and I had a bad reputation as a camel, and when I told them what you did, they didn't believe it and felt that I had been bought. Lao Tzu didn't say anything, the white knife went in and the red knife came out, killed them cleanly, and the corpses were pulled outside the city for burial. “

When the people heard him say this, they were a little silent, but someone said, "You didn't even call me for this." Ning Yi sat on the stone and laughed: "Who is your boss, who will give you food?" Why do you want me to thank you? ”

He is not polite, but that Chen Huozi is a cult figure, and he eats this set the most. At this time, he said: "I'm not talking about this, the owner, you do so many things and save so many people, I can't do it." My Chen Huozi has no reputation, and the righteous brothers used to value it very much, but after a few years in Zhuji, looking at their appearance, I don't think it's anything. Today's things, you said you were going to do it, we will help you do it, but you don't have to go, you just rest here and wait for us to come back to report the good news. That's all I have to say! ”

After he said this, the surroundings immediately responded: "That's right, that's right, what Chen Huozi said is right!" ”

"Owner, you can't go, let's go!"

"You don't have to do this."

In the midst of the noise, on the ground not far away, several seriously injured people were on the ground, and Yuwen Feidu had already stood up. is raising his hand: "I, I'm going to ......" Ning Yi looked at it carefully, and stretched out his hand to point: "Hold him up!" Someone grabbed the fallen boy and made him lie on the ground. Ning Yi stood up with a stern gaze: "Okay! I'm not here to hold a conference, and I'm not going to talk to you about democracy! While everyone has a breath now, I wish Biao to pick people! If the injury is too serious, leave it for me, don't make up for it! My bloody hand is Tu Ning Liheng. When Zhou Tong saw me, I wanted to give three points, and Lin Xichan didn't dare to speak loudly in front of me, do you want you to teach you to do things? ”

At this time, there were dozens of people who were willing to go to Qixian County with Ning Yi, and after he said this, Zhu Biao went to further screen people. At this time, someone on the periphery raised his hand again: "I—Can I go?" I'm not hurt, I've practiced some styles, I can help! ”

It was a skirmisher next to him who was not a member of the Bamboo Record, and this man finished speaking. Someone in the crowd stood up again. There are also humanitarians: "My brother has just died, I think what you said is reasonable, I can go with you......"

The army of the Wu Dynasty was uneven from top to bottom, and it was difficult to trust each other in large-scale battles, but even so, among the army. There are always some outstanding characters, and there are also some enthusiastic and hard-working. At this time, on the bank of the small river in the dark, I saw one by one figures standing up with some hesitation and walking out of the crowd. The night breeze blew, Ning Yi looked at this scene, Zhu Biao looked at Ning Yi, and Yue Fei was there. Some soldiers also began to sign up. After a while, Ning Yi said coldly: "It's not that you have blood, you can kill people, you can go if you have kung fu." ”

Later, he added: "Die there." Don't blame me. ”

His tone was cold and blunt, but when Zhu Biao went over to pick people, he tried his kung fu one by one, and said with a smile: "I will be my brother in the future." "Many people feel their chests burn up.

****************

When the seventy or eighty people gathered on Ning Yi's side crossed the rivers and hills, dragging their tired bodies to Qixian, in the capital, the farce of intrigue due to the defeat of the Western army was approaching a climax.

The division went to the room on the periphery of the alum tower, and through the window, he watched the army rush through the streets, and the city in the night became faintly noisy, alarming many people to sleep. For ordinary people, they wondered in their hearts whether the Jurchens had begun to attack the city again. On the solemn Royal Street Avenue, many courtiers who rushed to block the emperor's car and begged the emperor to return to the palace.

Zhou Zhe has been angry for a long time, but the development of the situation at this time was indeed beyond his expectations, originally he wanted to drive the courtiers home in the name of curfew, but the order began to be given, and the city had vaguely begun to riot. Li Gang came to report, but said that someone had leaked the news of the fiasco of the Western Army, and now many people in the city are about to start making trouble, the most important thing is that the group of Tai students, who have to go out to the palace to petition under the curfew in the middle of the night - I don't know how they are privately linked.

The fiasco of the Western Army was already a big deal, and problems began to arise in the city, once it was known that the emperor left overnight, I really don't know what would happen. Li Gang kowtowed while saying that the army had been mobilized to maintain order, Zhou Zhe saw that the green tendons on his forehead were all bulging, and then Li Gang said again, the envoy of the Jin State is still in the city, if you let the other party know that His Majesty has left the city, the Jin army in the north will definitely bypass Bianliang and chase south.

At this moment, Zhou Zhe also felt that he had no skills to return to the sky.

In a small room on the side of the city tower, Cao Yan, the general guarding the city, walked around in a worried mood, with a sad face, he wanted to go out several times, but the reason why he didn't do it 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 held a Buddhist bead, slowly moving, vaguely, it was the staff of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, the monk Jueming, who was also a relative of the emperor......

*****************

Bang –

Half an hour later, in the palace, Zhou Zhe broke the huge vase.

"How can this be true? Outrageous! This gang of civil servants, this gang of traitors...... They're forcing the palace! This is the Eye Warrior! They don't have me as an emperor in their eyes—"

The queen knelt on the ground and faced Zhou Zhe, who was already mad. But Zhou Zhe ran over, pulled her up, put her aside and sat down, and after a while, he came to her again: "You are confused!" You're confused too! Queen, you ......"

His fingers shook for a long time, and finally waved them down: "Alas, I'm also confused!" Queen, look, what kind of disturbance in the city, what kind of noise, these are all things they have done! Those who are the main battle, the main peace, they have all united, and they want to elevate me, the emperor, Li Gang! No, Qin Siyuan! Qin Siyuan only has such means, he thinks that if he doesn't show up today, I won't know if he calls someone else to block me! I know it......"

When he said this, he was stunned for a long time, and then shook his head: "No, no, no, it's not just him...... Cai Jing! Hmph, old thing, Cai Jing, don't I know yet, he rushed over on the surface and put on a look like he was going south with me, but in fact, he ...... He manipulated me so that my eyes were fixed only on the others. I don't know what this old dog means, it's amazing, either he'll leave, and if he's gone, he can still suppress all the guys who aren't with him, no matter what, he'll make money. These things, I, I ......"

He said this for a long time, and even his tone stammered a little: "As soon as the situation stabilizes, these guys, I will ...... them one by one Beat them all and beat them all and let them ...... You know how powerful I am...... I am the Son of Heaven! ”

"I am the Son ......of Heaven," he said, "and it is imperative to negotiate peace, to negotiate, no, no...... There's no way to talk about it, the Jurchens took advantage of it, it's not easy to talk about it, but you have to talk about it anyway...... Send someone to summon the golden envoy at once to discuss the matter......"

Before he had finished saying this, someone came into the palace and reported to him: "...... In the turmoil in the city, some students and people rushed into the temporary residence of the golden envoy Wang Xiao, and in the chaos, Wang Xiao was beaten to death. ”

"You ......" Zhou Zhe stood in front of the throne, his hands were clenched into fists, looking at the eunuch who reported the information, and after a while, his body shook a little, and he sat on the seat, his fist-clasped hands pressed on his knees, his lips pursed, and he trembled slightly with anger......

"Okay......" he said, gritting his teeth, "well...... Let them go......"

*****************

In Bianliang City, Qingluo Garden, is a small garden, occasionally Qin Siyuan will settle here to rest, it is late at night, in the dark, Qin Siyuan sits in the pavilion, his eyes seem to want to go over the surrounding courtyard, over the city wall, to see the place hundreds of miles outside the city.

Some people are already nearby, and some are also coming, including Yao Zunian, Jueming, and even Tang Ke who came in a hurry.

"I don't want to do this unless I have to, but it's no longer conceivable." He closed his eyes, and after a while, he sighed tiredly, "Nian Gong, after this incident, I am afraid that you and I will have a rare good death......"

The voice was low, and no one spoke.

Outside the city, in the east and north directions, within a range of nearly 100 miles, the pervasive beacon smoke began to dissipate, and hundreds of thousands of defeated soldiers, wounded soldiers, and corpses were scattered over this vast area, scattering and fleeing. On this night, Wanyan Zongwang, the second prince of the Jin Kingdom, completed his strategy and destroyed almost all the threats near Bianliang in one fell swoop. Late autumn is coming to an end, and next, the cold winter is coming...... (To be continued......)
