On the morning of October 26, Xiangcheng County Ya, early dynasty.

In extraordinary times, it is naturally difficult to replicate all the etiquette of the Chang'an Dynasty, so everything has to be simplified.

At that time, the sky was dark, Pei Shengqin and Pei Yuanluo cleaned up and went to the city. Shi Yue, Yong Jianlan, Li Songlin, Liu Zhecun and other four generals also followed, these four generals received a reward in Linyi, and at this moment they were barely qualified to participate in the early dynasty. Wang Mazhi and Huan Bucai followed behind Wang Ningzhi, and they, as the Nanban who "returned from Muyi", would wait outside the county office, and the Qin Emperor might summon them in at any time to inquire about the situation in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Magu was still not qualified to enter the city, and she watched Pei Shengqin and the others leave the barracks with a gloomy expression. The male dog and Shunqiang comforted him: "My brothers have followed Gongzi since Yizhou, and now they are not qualified to face the saint, let alone you, Miss Ma." But you don't have to be discouraged, you have followed my son-in-law, and sooner or later you will have the opportunity to pay homage to the sky. ”

Speaking of which, the male dog and Shunqiang also have merit, and now they also command hundreds of soldiers in the Tiance army, but they are far from qualified to face the saint. You must know that Shi Yue and the other four were the generals who were in charge of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Yizhou Water Division, and in this way, with this great achievement, they were only barely qualified to participate in the early dynasty.

Pei Shengqin is naturally happy to see this situation, if Magu is really allowed to see Emperor Qin, this female thief will go crazy, and the entire Pei family will be affected. It's best to spend her all the time, and after finding a chance to detoxify the poison needle, then find a way to deal with her, even if you don't report her, you have to draw a line with her.

At this time, many generals who were qualified to participate in the early dynasty walked out of the military camp one after another and went to the city gate, and Pei Shengqin and others also merged into the flow of people entering the city. The city gate guard he met this time was no longer Murong Trai, but an ordinary junior general, because Murong Trai also had to participate in the early dynasty. After being checked in turn, they were put into the city.

When I walked outside the Xiangcheng County Ya, the open space outside the county government was already crowded with dense civil and military officials. His Majesty's personal expedition, although not all the civil and military officials of the Chang'an Imperial Court were arranged to go with the army, but at least about half of them were arranged. Counting the number of officials outside the county government, Pei Shengqin estimated that the officials left behind in Chang'an City were only enough to barely maintain the operation of the Beijing Division.

Most of the generals wore armor, some of the civil servants wore court clothes, some wore long shirts, and some wore narrow-sleeved hufu clothes, and everyone in the Tiance army wore armor. According to the system, the official court meeting has no military affairs, and all must wear court clothes. However, at this time, everything can only be simplified, after all, many civil and military officers fled back to Xiangcheng one after another after the defeat of Weishui, and in a hurry, many people lost their court clothes.

At this time, before going to the court, many civil and military ministers waiting outside the county government gathered together in twos and threes, forming a small circle and exchanging information with each other.

"Brother Pei slept well last night?"

Hearing the voice, Pei Shengqin knew that Wang Guo'an was coming, looked at the Wang brothers who came over, and said with a smile: "I have hoarded hundreds of thousands of male soldiers here, fighting evil spirits, and warding off ghosts and gods. ”

It is also strange to say that Wang Guoan originally wooed Pei Shengqin for the eldest prince, but along the way, the relationship between Wang Guoan and Pei Shengqin is getting better and better, but Pei Shengqin still has no intention of wanting to join the eldest prince. And they also walked all the way, but Pei Shengqin only chatted with Wang Guo'an, and kept a faint distance from Wang Guo'an's younger brother Wang Zhenxi.

The brothers of the Wang family naturally didn't know that Pei Shengqin was actually biased towards the king of Nan'an, so he naturally refused to take refuge in the eldest prince. After all, history has proven that the king of Nan'an is more suitable for governing the world than the great prince.

"Where did the younger brother offend Brother Pei, why did Brother Pei talk and laugh with the eldest brother all the way, but he has always been unapologetic to the younger brother?" Wang Zhenwei looked at Pei Shengqin and asked with a wry smile.

"This Wang Zhen's evil nature doesn't seem to be bad, as for the later rebellion against Qin and Jin, maybe it was really forced by the situation. Judging from the temperament, this person is also a famous general, and if his ideological education can be strengthened, he will not be able to transform him into a patriotic youth. Pei Shengqin thought secretly in his heart, and decided to give Wang Zhenwei a few moments of transformation, so he smiled at him and said: "I have a lot of heart to suppress evil, Brother Ling and I mostly talk about civil affairs and current affairs, but you are a military general, so many times I have not greeted you in place, but I have neglected you." ”

"Is that so, don't hide it from Brother Pei, although I am a military general, I am not unfluent in literature and ink, and I can discuss a few words with my brother on weekdays." Hearing that Pei Shengqin didn't have an opinion about himself, Wang Zhenwei suddenly turned his worries into joy.

Wang Guoan also said: "Although my brother is not a literary master, he can also talk about some ups and downs. ”

Pei Shengqin laughed and said, "In that case, the next time I discuss with Guoan, I will add you to one." ”

After talking a few words with the Wang brothers, there were officials who came forward to talk, including old friends of his father Pei Yuanluo, and people who admired the merits of Tiance Army and wanted to make friends, all of whom were dealt with by their fathers.

"Brother-in-law!"

A loud roar came from behind, and immediately after, his big hand climbed onto Pei Shengqin's shoulder.

Pei Shengqin turned his head, and the face of a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes came into view. Soon, memories of the past and present lives of this young man came to mind.

Yang Ding, the son of Yang An, the brother of Yang Shiyi, and a famous general at the end of Qin. In the thirteenth year of Jianyuan, the official worshiped General Longxiang, and in the fourth year of Taichu, he entered the title of Qiu Chigong, and in the ninth year of Taichu, he entered the king of Longxi County. In the first year of Yanchu, he followed the last emperor of the former Qin Dynasty Fu Chong to the warrior Sichuan to quell the rebellion, the court was defeated in this battle, Yang Ding and the last emperor were killed by the rebel general Qi Fu Ke Zhen, and the former Qin died in the hands of the anti-thief begging and returning to the army.

Judging from the memories of his previous life, he was a generation of famous generals and loyal ministers who fought bloodily for the imperial court until the last moment. Judging from the memories of this life, he is the brother of his fiancée and his relative. Pei Shengqin was full of goodwill and respect, and saluted respectfully: "I've seen my eldest brother." ”

"Haha, you kid can be regarded as enlightened, in the past, when you saw me, I was called General Yang, and today I know that I am called uncle." Yang Ding laughed, put his arm around Pei Shengqin's shoulder, and said, "Boy, I've heard everything about you, well done!" Your Majesty intends to reuse it for you, you have to behave well, and go back to marry my sister in the future. ”

At the mention of Yang Shiyi, Pei Shengqin's eyes were a little gloomy, and he bowed his head and said: "Now that Jingzhou has fallen, the barbarians are rushing straight to Yizhou, every time I think of poetic safety, I am anxious..."

"Well, brother-in-law, don't you know?"

"Know what?" Pei Shengqin raised his head and found that Yang Dingzheng was looking at him strangely.

Yang Ding smiled: "Brother-in-law, you don't know yet, my sister is also a woman who does not let her eyebrows, she has personally led people to recover the Xiangyang area, and now my father is guarding the White Emperor City, and my sister is guarding Xiangyang, and Huan Xuan's hundreds of thousands of barbarian soldiers are sandwiched in the middle, and they have come out of the urn to catch turtles." Just wait for those brutes to run out of ammunition and refuse to surrender themselves! ”

"What, poetry recovered Xiangyang?" Pei Shengqin exclaimed, and looked around, his father and the others, as well as the Wang Guoan brothers, were all at a loss.

Wang Guoan said: "General Yang, when will Xiangyang be recovered, why haven't I heard of it?" ”

Yang Ding pouted and said: "The good news was sent to Xiangcheng after your brother and the eldest prince set off to Linyi to pick up my brother-in-law, you just came back yesterday, so naturally you don't know yet." My sister-in-law not only recovered Xiangyang, but also captured a princess in Nanban, and her skills are no worse than my brother-in-law. ”

"Nanban princess? Is that Sima Zhihua? Uncle, let's listen carefully. Pei Shengqin urged.

Yang Ding's eyebrows fluttered and he spoke.

......

Time goes back to October 10, Xiangyang City.

"Uncle, this is the villain's ancestral!"

"Uncle, don't want it, this is the ration for the villain's whole family."

"Uncle, I can give you the money, let my daughter go!"

There is a way to be a bandit like a comb, a soldier is like a grate, since the Eastern Jin Dynasty occupied Xiangyang, this city has turned into a purgatory on earth. Xiangyang is a big city with a population of hundreds of thousands, even if Deng Li took as many people as possible when he retreated, there were still more than 100,000 people who could not evacuate left in the city, and these people became fat sheep in the eyes of the Jin army.

When Xiangyang was just captured, because Sima Zhihua and Huan Xuan were there, the soldiers below were quite restrained. However, within two days, Sima Zhihua and Huan Xuan continued to march with a large army, and the thousands of Jin soldiers who stayed in Xiangyang suddenly lost their control. For a time, robbing money, food, women, killing people and setting fires became the main theme of the city.

"You god-killing soldiers, do you still have the king's law! Blatantly breaking into a house to kill someone, according to Qin Law, he should be beheaded! ”

Finally, some people couldn't help but speak out in anger.

What awaits him is a head-on knife.

An officer of the Eastern Jin Dynasty with a meaty face pulled out his saber from the fresh corpse and laughed coldly: "Qin Lu? Don't forget, now this Xiangyang City is the world of the Great Jin Dynasty again! ”

He is the officer of the Eastern Jin Dynasty who is responsible for staying in Xiangyang, and when the fourth princess and General Huan are gone, he is the heaven of Xiangyang City!

The reason why I say "again" is because Xiangyang was originally snatched from the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the fifteenth year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty. Of course, the former Qin army was strictly disciplined, and there was no crime in the autumn of the city, and these bandit-like officers and soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were naturally incomparable.

Another citizen cowered and said, "According to the law of Jin, killing people will also pay for their lives..."

The Eastern Jin Dynasty officer burst out laughing and said, "We didn't kill anyone, we are tracking down the tyrannical Qin." Tyrannical Qin has been stealing Xiangyang for many years, I don't know how many fine works have been cultivated, we are loyal to the Great Jin Dynasty, and we are responsible for killing and killing fine works! ”

Another Jin soldier on the side smiled and said: "That's right, that's right, I don't want to be a tyrant Qin, and honestly hand over the money and beauties, otherwise we will continue to commit adultery for the Great Jin Dynasty." In the future, take the heads of you tyrannical Qin and go back to Jiankang, and you can ask the emperor for a reward! ”

"Great Qin Wangshi, come back quickly and kill these villains of the Jin Dynasty! Whining! A half-grown boy was frightened and cried by the fierce Eastern Jin Dynasty officers and soldiers, and cried wow. When they heard the words "Great Qin Wangshi", the child's parents suddenly showed a panicked look in their eyes, and the mother hurriedly stepped forward to cover the child's mouth, while the father faced the Eastern Jin Dynasty officer and kowtowed vigorously: "The child is not sensible, talking nonsense, uncle, spare life!" ”

In response to him, it was three stabs in the head!

"Go to hell and wait for your Great Qin King Master!"

With abrupt cries and pleading, the heads of the three members of the family fell to the ground.

The officer killed three more people, looked around, and said proudly: "I'm not afraid to tell you that the Qin Dynasty suffered a defeat in Weishui, and even the Qin Dynasty Emperor Fu Jian was beaten out of Shouyang." Why do you think your Deng Taishou abandoned the city and fled? That is, he saw that Qin's vitality was exhausted! Now that my Great Jin Dynasty is attacking on multiple fronts, the elimination of the Qin Dynasty is just around the corner, and the soldiers of the four princesses are now under the White Emperor City, and they are about to enter Yizhou. You Diao people still expect the Qin Dynasty to come back? I'm telling you, no way! ”

After the officer finished speaking, the Jin soldiers all over the street laughed, accompanied by the low sobs of the people in the city. The Jin Dynasty was profoundly influenced by the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System, and paid attention to a "high-grade no cold door", which in the words of later generations was a serious class solidification to the extreme. In the Jin Dynasty, ordinary people were as cheap as pigs and dogs, and they never had a bright future. In contrast, the former Qin was an emerging power, and the domestic class had not yet been solidified, and as long as they worked hard, everyone had a chance to get ahead. The most typical example is the Qin Xiang Wang Meng, who rose from the cloth and eventually became the "first person to cover Zhuge Gong", if Wang Meng was born in the Jin Dynasty, he would have been just a pariah selling dustpans for most of his life. Xiangyang has experienced the rule of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the former Qin, and has personally experienced the gap between the two countries, so he is naturally willing to be a Qin person.

At this moment, when I learned that the former Qin was defeated and Xiangyang would be ruled by the Eastern Jin Dynasty again, hundreds of people were desperate.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a commotion in the distance. The Eastern Jin Dynasty officer led by him frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The Jin soldiers on the left and right looked at each other, all of them looking confused.

At this moment, a herald ran over and said to the officer, "Report to the general, Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess has brought someone back." ”

"Ah, Your Highness has returned, but has you already taken the White Emperor City? Wherever His Highness went, Ben would quickly lead people out of the city to greet him. ”

"Your Highness has already entered the city, and those who came in from the south gate are rushing here!"

The officer faintly felt that something was wrong, the army of the Four Highnesses was in the White Emperor City in the northeast, even if he came back, he should take the east gate or the north gate to enter the city, why did he take a detour to the south gate? The south gate seems to be the direction leading to Wuling County......

As the officer pondered, the noise intensified, and it seemed to be mixed with the sounds of fighting and screaming.

After a while, another herald came: "Report to the general, the Qin soldiers are coming into the city, flee quickly!" ”

"What?" The officer's eyes bulged and he exclaimed, "Qin Bing... How could the Qin soldiers kill? Aren't Qin soldiers in Yizhou, where are there Qin soldiers in Jingzhou? Xiangyang is tall, easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if there are really Qin soldiers, how can they be killed so quickly? ”

The herald hurriedly said: "The little ones don't know where they came from, the Qin soldiers are all wearing the clothes of ordinary people, and they are holding sickles, hoes, nails, rakes, etc. But Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess was in their hands, and they had pushed Her Royal Highness the Princess to come forward, pretending to be our army, opening the city gate by fraud, and then rushing in. The officers and men of our army are now plundering the people's property in the city, and they can't gather to resist the enemy for a while! ”

The officer's face was full of shock, and he turned his head to look at the herald in front of him, who said aggrievedly: "The little one doesn't know anything, just now I saw Her Royal Highness the princess with a group of people dressed as peasants calling the door outside the south gate, Her Royal Highness is here in person, how dare I not open the door." After opening the door, the little one came to report the news, and he didn't know anything about the situation over there! ”

The sound of the battle was getting closer and closer, and in the stunned and frightened eyes of the officers and soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, a red figure like a flame rode over.

"I am Yang Shiyi, the daughter of Yang An, the pastor of Yizhou in Great Qin, today I recovered Xiangyang, the fathers and villagers of Xiangyang City, quickly cooperate with our army and kill the barbarians!"

A coquettish cry resounded like thunder, and behind this fiery figure were countless peasants dressed up... Qin Bing?

"Kill! Let's go to the national disaster together! "The old village chief of Taoyuan Village carried a nail rake, and first killed a Jin soldier with a nail rake.

"Let's go to the national disaster together!" A large number of villagers roared in unison - they had now been incorporated by Yang Shiyi to form the Jingzhou Protector Army.

"Folks, Master Wang has come to save us! Long live Wang Shi, long live Daqin! ”

Countless people in Xiangyang who were oppressed by the Jin soldiers stood up at this moment, and they roared together: "Go to the national disaster together!" Let's go to the national disaster together! ”

Where did this peasant-like Qin soldier come from? How could Her Royal Highness the Princess, who should be in the White Emperor City at this moment, fall into the hands of this group of Qin soldiers? The Eastern Jin Dynasty officers who were responsible for staying in Xiangyang did not understand these two questions until they died.

......

"What, isn't my sister very good? When this good news came, everyone was stunned, just a little less sensational than your good news. Yang Ding looked at Pei Shengqin and said with a smile.

"Awesome, worthy of being my woman!" Pei Shengqin also said with a smile.

"It's unbelievable, Wuling Taoyuan, win the Qin relics... Such an outrageous thing was encountered by the girl. The good news said that the girl had recruited more than 10,000 national protectors. Yang Ding was still amazed.

Pei Shengqin remembered the famous article he had learned in his previous life, and said secretly in his heart: "'In the Jin Taiyuan Dynasty, the people of Wuling are fishing for business...' I really didn't expect that Tao Yuanming's "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring" was actually a real person and a real story... Stimulating, too exciting. ”

Father Pei Yuan said with a slight smile: "This is a great joy, in this way, the situation in the southwest is stable, and we can calmly recover the decline in the southeast, and we don't have to be distracted by the southwest." ”

The morning sun fills the earth, and the time comes.

The gate of Xiangcheng County was finally opened, and the armed squad guarding the door said loudly: "Your Majesty has a decree, announce a hundred officials to the court!" ”
