In Jindi, the belated spring rain has arrived.

The gray city was soaked in water, and the water smelled of blood. In the early hours of the morning, in the dark attic, You Hongzhuo applied the wound medicine to his shoulder, and the feeling of pain came, he gritted his teeth and tried hard not to make any movement.

The long knife, already with a small chip, rested within easy reach of his leg.

The medicine was dressed, the bandages were pulled up, his clothes were tied, and his fingers and teeth trembled in the darkness. The small movement below the attic side had come to an end, and a figure pushed open the door and entered.

"The fifth is dead...... the figure sat down on the side of the attic, "the surname Cen has not been found." ”

You Hongzhuo leaned against the wall and did not speak, and there was only night rain in the darkness on the other side of the thin wall. In such a quiet night, only the participants in it can feel the turbulent waves behind the night, and countless undercurrents are surging and accumulating.

After coming to Weisheng, you Hongzhuo was greeted by a desperate fight again and again, after Tian Shi's death had been brewing, the darkness of the city, blood was splashed every day, the surrenderers began to operate in the light and the dark, and the hot-blooded righteous men launched the most primitive confrontation with it, some were betrayed, some were cleaned up, and in the process of choosing to stand in line, every step was in danger of life and death.

The battle on the front line has begun, and in order to pave the way for compromise and surrender, the lobbyists of the big clan led by Liao Yiren talk about the situation not far from the north every day.

But in the face of more than 30,000 Jurchen elites, the more than 10,000 black flags, after all, they still faced the battle.

They turned out to be ...... He never retreated.

During the days of fighting, You Hongzhuo met some people, and some of them died during this period, and this night they went to find a Jianghu leader surnamed Cen under the command of the Liao family, but they were ambushed again. The man named Lao Wu, You Hongzhuo had a lot of impressions, he was a man who looked thin and suspicious, and when he was brought back, he was covered in blood, and he was no longer good.

Because of the injuries on his body, You Hongzhuo missed tonight's action, but he didn't regret it. It's just that such nights, dullness and depression always make people feel uneasy, and the man on the other side of the attic said a few more words.

"You say...... How many others are on our side? ”

"The black flag is all over the world, I don't know how long I can drag the train speed in Linzhou......"

No matter how long the battle of Linzhou lasts, facing more than 30,000 Jurchen elites, and even more than 200,000 female Allah forces and 10,000 black flags, they will not be able to leave. In the past few days, private messages have been gathered, and they have said such things.

The night was dark, and in the cold, it was impossible to see the way forward.

But You Hongzhuo closed his eyes, held the hilt of the knife, and did not answer.

For the sword, it is not easy to be idealistic. When he learned to use a knife, he first learned to be flexible, but with the guidance of the Zhao couple, he gradually dissolved this flexibility into an unchanging mind, in Mr. Zhao's teaching, once Grandmaster Zhou said that literati have rulers, and warriors have knives. His sword, overcoming thorns and thorns, is indomitable. The darker the ahead, the more valuable the existence of this knife is.

In the past two years, although he has never mentioned it to anyone, he often thinks of that couple, in such darkness, that pair of seniors, must also be somewhere, use their swords to cut the way of this world, just like the former Grandmaster Zhou and today's dead companions, these people exist, or exist, You Hongzhuo understands what he should do.

He opened his eyes suddenly, and pressed his long knife in his hand.

In the dark night, there was a movement, the sound from far and near, with a faint friction of gold and iron, it was the army in the city. In such a fierce confrontation, the guards of Wasion City were divided into two sides, and no one knew when the other party would attack. The guards who were running in the pouring rain with the light of fire, and in a short time ran past the front of the house.

- I went in the direction of Tianji Palace.

"I'll go and see."

You Hongzhuo's figure had already risen silently, rolled up a rain cloth, and slid out of the attic window like a loach, he ran on the roof, looked around in the heavy rain, and made sure that only the small group of soldiers ran over, and then he was relieved.

If a large group of soldiers flocked to Tianji Palace at this time, it might mean that a coup d'état had begun, and at that time, they would all be thrown into battle.

And on such a night, the soldiers of the squad, the pace is so fast, it may mean ...... Subpoena.

You Hongzhuo returned to the attic, leaned against the corner and fell silent, waiting for the night to pass, and after his injuries were stabilized, he joined the endless new round of fighting......

……

In the heavy night, the soldiers guarding the city walked through the gates of the Tianji Palace with muddy scouts.

The latest information on the battlefield in Linzhou was transmitted to Wasion at the first time, and the scout crossed the mountains and mountains, but broke his leg in the heavy rain and darkness, but he still did not stop, and arrived at Wasion in the early morning of the tenth day of the first month.

This is the most urgent news, the scout chose the city gate controlled by Lou Shuwan's side to enter, but due to the relatively serious injury, the messenger was in a state of mind, and the generals and soldiers defending the city couldn't help but be a little frightened, thinking of the rumors in the city in the past two days, worried that the scout would bring the news of the defeat of the Black Flag.

Lou Shuwan, who was clothed, arrived at the conference hall as soon as possible, she had just gone to bed and was about to sleep, but in fact she blew out the light and couldn't close her eyes. The scout with the broken leg was drenched in the rain, and when he passed through the empty and cold perimeter of the Tianji Palace, he was still shivering, and he handed the letter he was carrying to Lou Shuwan, and when he told the news, everyone couldn't believe it, including the young defender who was by his side before he could go out.

“…… The defeat of the Huaxia army was faster than that of Linzhou City, and it had already defeated the attack of more than 30,000 Jurchen elites head-on, and the Jurchens were seriously damaged, and the life and death of the Shulie were uncertain, and the army retreated for twenty miles, and it was still retreating......"

“…… What the? Lou Shuwan stood there, the cold wind outside the door blew in, raising the hem of the black cloak behind her, as if she had heard a hallucination at this time. So the scout repeated it again.

And the letter of the summons says so.

"Why hasn't the charcoal fire come yet, what about the medical officer, heal this strong man's wounds and settle for him to live." Her eyes were confused, and she looked dazed after reading the simple letter twice, and her mouth had already opened her mouth continuously, giving orders, the scout's appearance was too weak, she looked at him twice, "Can you hold on, after the bandage, I want to hear you say it yourself...... Situation in Linzhou...... They said...... It's going to take a long time......"

For the superiors, they shouldn't have told their hearts and minds, but at this moment, Lou Shuwan couldn't help but say it. In the battle of Linzhou, the fourth day of the first month of the first month of the Shulie was set off, the sixth day of the first month, and the seventh day of the first month, and the situation was actually clear in the sixth day of the first month. Since the black flag has not left, if it can't retreat, then it will never be able to go again - Jurchen Thomas, it is impossible to retreat calmly after a battle. And even if you want to divide the victory and defeat, 30,000 Jurchen elites play 10,000 black flags, and most people with brains can think of an approximation.

This is the early morning of the tenth day of the first lunar month, and suddenly such news came, Lou Shuwan inevitably felt that this was a bad conspiracy, however, the identity of this scout was trustworthy.

"Hold on......" the scout nodded forcefully, and then said, "Woman, it's really won." ”

“…… The Huaxia Army, together with the defenders of Linzhou, took the initiative to attack the Shuliesu Army......"

“…… The fight was extremely fierce, but the frontal defeat of the jutsu was ......."

“…… 12,000 Huaxia, 35,000 Jurchen elites were defeated, during which the Huaxia army was scattered and gathered, gathered and scattered, but ...... Frontal defeat of the Column Speed. ”

The medical officer came, the scout was pushed aside, the wind blew in, and the cloak behind Lou Shuwan was shaking, making her figure look extremely thin, but she didn't feel the cold, and walked quietly to the desk, silent for a long time: "Pass my order......" She said this, but her voice was extremely low, and then she didn't give any orders, her emaciated face was tired eyes, and something was dripping down her eyes.

She shed two lines of tears, and looked up, her gaze resolute.

"Pass my orders—"

The wind is blowing at night, and Wasion City is about to move.

……

The sky is getting brighter.

Yau Hongzhuo woke up from his sleep, and the horse team was running through the street outside.

The rain was still falling, and someone was ringing the gong from afar, shouting something.

He listened carefully.

Soon after, You Hongzhuo, dressed in a robe, pushed the door out like the others, and walked onto the street, where people came out from another adjacent house and the opposite house, asking: "...... What did you say? ”

"Linzhou good news, the Huaxia army defeated the Jurchen army, and the Jurchen general's life and death are uncertain——"

"The 12,000 Huaxia army, together with more than 20,000 defenders of Linzhou, defeated the Jurchen elite and thief army led by the Shuliesu Institute for a total of more than 70,000, Linzhou won a great victory, and beheaded the Jurchen general Shuliesu——"

There were all sorts of voices ringing, and people rushed out of their rooms and ran into the streets in the spring rain.

In the old house of the Liao family on the outskirts of the city, people were running in panic, and the white-haired Liao Yiren put his palms on the table, his lips trembling in intense emotions: "Impossible, Jurchen 35,000 elites, this is impossible...... The woman was deceitful! ”

"Uncle, many people have believed, and there are also people on our side...... The second and third rooms are in a lot of trouble, and I want to pack up my things and escape......"

"The army defending the city has been assembled, Wu Xiangyuan and they have received the order, and the woman is going to take the opportunity to do it...... When this news comes, I'm afraid that someone has already started to turn back......"

"Stupid, stupid - come to them, I'll talk to them...... The situation must be held, the Jurchen army of more than 200,000 people, led by Zong Han and Xi Yin, will fight at any time, hold the situation, and if we can't hold it, we will all die-"

Countless orders have been issued around the Tianji Palace, chaos is spreading, and contradictions are about to become acute.

In the Tianji Palace, the maid Yuan Xiaoqiu walked into the room, quietly fastened the curtain blown by the wind, and when she passed the bed, she saw that the washed woman had entered a peaceful sleep for the first time since these days, she was holding the quilt, her face was white and thin, and the corners of her mouth were slightly stretched, as if showing a smile.

This is the first time Yuan Xiaoqiu has seen the smile of the female prime minister after letting go of her burden.

She quietly left the room, closed the door, on the square outside, the rain was still falling, and on the distance, towering city wall, there was a tall figure standing there, staring at the scene outside the Tianji Palace, that was Shi Jin.

The clouds were still hazy, but it seemed that at the other end of the clouds, a ray of light broke through the clouds and descended.

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

- That's a false glow.

In the Jurchen camp, the generals were assembling, and people were discussing the news from the south, and the battle report in Linzhou was so unexpected that even the Jurchen army thought it was fake news for the first time.

"Maybe it's a deception of the demons." After receiving the information, the general of the army pondered for a long time and came to such a guess.

But it wasn't long before it was confirmed to be true.

More details were gathered.

In the small tent, Wanyan Xiyin questioned the Jurchen soldiers who had withdrawn from Linzhou one by one, and personally and fully inquired for nearly a day. When Zong Han found him, he was as silent as a stone.

"How?"

“…… There is no fraud. ”

“……”

“…… There are more than 12,000 black flags, and more than 20,000 defenders in Linzhou, some of which were instigated by our side. In a hurry to attack the city, the Black Flag Army chose to raid. Although he was eventually seriously injured, he was ...... before he was seriously injured The black flag of 35,000 men against 12,000 had actually been defeated. The situation is too chaotic, the Han army is only a supplement, it is useless, the Black Flag Army has been broken up again and again, and the people on our side have also been scattered again and again......"

Hee-yin said these words calmly: "...... After the breakup, they were gathered again, and after they were gathered, they were scattered, but before Shurisu was seriously wounded, 35,000 men were already on the verge of defeat, that is, even without his serious injuries, the battle would have been ......."

He opened his mouth, but the last words did not come out, but Zong Han had completely understood, and he patted his old friend on the shoulder: "In the past thirty years, the world has been rampant, and there have been countless battles, and when this kind of thing happens when you are old, it is a little sad, but ...... It is also a fact that the Shulie is eager to win quickly, and it is also a fact that it has been exploited. Ceres, as soon as this thing comes out, those people you arranged in the south are afraid to frighten their guts, and the little girl of Weisheng is afraid that they are laughing. ”

Xi Yin also laughed: "Dashuai already has a plan, so you don't have to laugh at me." ”

"Hmm." Zong Han nodded.

"Tomorrow's expedition."

In the dim sky, the Jurchen camp was like a huge anthill, and the sound of flags, battle horns, and messages began to surge with the sound of the rain in early spring.

When the conspiracy can't go on, the truly huge war machine will have to wake up in advance.

Tian Shi is dead after all, after all, the division has appeared, even in the most difficult situation, the defeat of the army of Shuliesu, the Huaxia army, which was originally no more than 10,000 people, has been broken in such a big battle. This time, including the entire Jin Land, there will be no one who can stop the pace of this army moving south.

At the same time, the battle of Xuzhou began.

Spring thunder streaked across the sky, and the heavens and the earth were stunned.
