In April of the fifth year of Emperor Yongjia of the Western Jin Dynasty, nearly 100,000 Jin troops were besieged by thousands of Hu cavalry regiments in the city of Ningping in Ku County.

Ningping City was originally governed by Ningping County in the Han Dynasty, and it was saved in the early Jin Dynasty and incorporated into Ku County in the northwest. Therefore, today's Ningping City is only a small enclosure surrounded by an earthen wall full of gaps and the highest point is no more than a foot long, and the remaining residents in the city are only a hundred households, and hundreds of ministers, generals, more than 1,000 women and children, servants and tens of thousands of remnants of soldiers are crowded in an instant, and the vast majority of people can hardly even find a place to curl up and lie down.

Because more soldiers have already died outside the ruins, especially in the short space of hundreds of steps from the south wall of Ningping City to Shashui, there are more than 10,000 mutilated corpses lying on top of each other. Only a few of them were shot in the chest, and the vast majority were wounded in the back, some of them headed towards Ninh Binh and wanted to squeeze into the city, while the other part turned their heads towards the sand and water, wanting to wade and escape. But they didn't see the night fall after all, and they died tragically under the fierce bow of Hu Qi.

The sand and water had turned red from the blood, and the city walls were ankle-deep and covered with minced flesh, and no one dared to step into them easily.

In the middle of the corpses scattered all over the countryside, Hu Qi was forced to step out of a passage more than a foot wide, blood and water mixed with the residue of flesh and bones, and after repeated trampling, it had turned into a viscous and black mud. Although it was late at night and the stars and moon were dark, there were Hu horsemen holding torches on this passage from time to time, slowly pacing with their horses and horses, the purpose of which was naturally to block the escape of the Jin army in the city. There are not many Hu cavalry, on average, there is only a small team, five or six horsemen coming and going every quarter of an hour, but even this little bit of men and horses is enough to deter the already bold Jin army.

As for the rest of the ruined city of Ningping, all of them were lined with sparse felt tents, and although most of the Hu soldiers slept in the tents and on their clothes, they actually slept very soundly, and the snoring was like thunder - they had to keep their spirits up in order to offset the fatigue of the previous day's galloping and successive battles, so that after the red sun rose the next day, they would sweep away the Jin army in the city with a thunderous force. In front of the tent, too, he occasionally stepped on the small cavalry with torches held high, talking and laughing in a low voice, and did not pay any attention to the enemy soldiers in the city who were several times his size.

In the city, it was once the most brave and good fighting army of the Jin Dynasty, since the founding of the country, it was the northern expedition to Xianbei, the south to take Wuhui, and then in the civil strife to protect the Son of Heaven, to chase rebellion, decades to fight in the east and west, Tai Ban Kejie. However, all kinds of glory are like the yellow flowers of tomorrow, the combat power is still there, but the fighting spirit has long withered and corrupted, and then turned into powder, and was deeply trampled into the blood and mud. Because the commander who once led them to stick to Luoyang and then went out of the city to rebel has passed away, most of the old generals are scattered, and as for the new command, ......

The new headquarters was set up in the very center of the ruined city of Ninh Binh, and kept as far away as possible from the enemy positions outside the city. In contrast to the situation where the soldiers slept on top of each other against the wall, the huge tent was still opened, and the butter wax was lit. It's just that the courtesans are still there, the preaching is still there, but no one has the heart to arrange a banquet overnight, and at this time, the nominal general and the actual commander are sitting and weeping with red eyes, feeling that the noose of fate has been put around their necks, and the tighter and tighter they are......

——————————

In the abandoned city of Ningping, outside the big tent of the Chinese army, there were two young officials at this time, both wearing black curtains, wearing a virtuous crown, wearing a silk robe, a plain silk wrapped around the belt around their waists, and wearing a red ribbon seal bag - there was a lot of dust on the crown, and there were even blood stains, and their faces were wiped very cleanly. The two stood side by side, looking into the distance, not seeing the moon shadow and starlight, only seeing the scattered torches held by Hu Qi floating by, they couldn't help but feel sad and sighed together.

One of them spoke: "Wang Yifu is romantic, he is not a general, who would have expected that current affairs are ridiculous, and 100,000 people will fall into his hands." Even if there are 100,000 cattle and horses, it is impossible to drive them out, but the 100,000 army scattered in an instant...... The day of death I am waiting for is probably in the Ming Dynasty! ”

Another person smiled bitterly and said: "Death is death, no one is alive, and no one is dead." I only hope that Wang Yifu and the other princes of the Tao will die on the same day, so that we can relieve the hatred in our hearts a little! Then he looked at his companion: "Now that Qing and I are about to die, why don't you write a poem to express the grief and indignation in my heart and express our aspirations?" ”

The previous person nodded, muttered for a while, and sighed: "My heart is in turmoil, it is difficult to write a book, and I can only think of four sentences." Then the man chanted - "Whose fault is it?" It's hard to get away with it. The clothes are dyed with blood, and the culture is bright and immortal. ”

The other person shook his head slowly: "It's too flat and straightforward, and it's really not a good structure." However, I can only come up with four sentences - follow the drive out of Yanyu, and hope to calm the Hu atmosphere. When Nai doesn't meet, the dead country will see me. ”

Before the words fell, he suddenly heard a "poof" sound beside him, and it seemed that someone was laughing, but this laughter was not pleasant, and it was vaguely filled with endless distress and resentment.

Both of them were startled, and hurried to see that a person dressed very similarly to them was huddled in the shadows nearby, and neither of them could notice it until then.

This man sits in a very strange and rude manner. In this era, scholars and doctors are accustomed to kneeling, but this man bends his knees upwards, crosses his legs, and his buttocks fall directly on the dirty ground, and then leans forward, and his head is sandwiched between his knees, and his hands hang down to his left and right as if they are weak, but his fingertips are deeply embedded in the dirt......

A young official was bold enough to come closer, bent down, and took a closer look at the faint light that shone from inside the tent. The other party also happened to be at this time, although his body posture remained the same, he slowly raised his neck, raised his head, and looked at each other-

It was also a young man, and his appearance could be described as handsome according to the aesthetic standards of this era: firstly, he was broad, his complexion was very white, secondly, his eyebrows were sparse, his phoenix eyes were clear, his nose was straight, and his beard on his lips and under his chin was soft and fine because he had never shaved it.

He was immediately recognized by the other party: "Pei Wenyue? ”

The young official who called his name immediately made a blank face and reprimanded: "Qing is the son of Julu Chenggong, the official worships the scattered cavalry, and the lord is the Marquis of Nanchang...... As the old saying goes: 'When a gentleman dies, he will inevitably be crowned', why is Qing so cowering and frightened, and he is sitting here alone? ”

That Pei Wenyu had a dead face and a mouth, but his words were inexplicably weird: "What kind of are you talking about?" ”

Another young official tugged at the sleeve of his companion's shirt and pouted: "During the day, when I bumped into Hu Qi coming from all over the mountains, Pei Wenyue was so frightened that he was so frightened that he was said to have gone crazy. Why should you talk to such a fool? ”

Pei Wenyue continued to spit out normal pronunciation and peculiar vocabulary and grammar: "You are crazy, your whole family is completely crazy!" ”

The young official who reprimanded him before couldn't help but sigh lightly: "Everyone in the world is the second son of Julu, and the Tao can be inherited from the father's will, and the text can be passed on to the father's learning." Now that we are about to die of martyrdom, I wanted to invite him to compose poems together, and it is better to leave a few notes in the history of Qingshi, I don't want him to go crazy......"

Pei Wenyue smacked on the ground fiercely: "Martyr your mother's country!" You just know that the wind and the moon are coming, what have you done for this country? Are you still pretending to be loyal and martyred here? What the hell is XX! ”

But think about it, the other party may not really understand these words, it is simply a "pearl cast into the dark"...... simply gritted his teeth, put his hands in the mud, struggled to stand up, pointed at each other, and shouted in the popular grammar: "What is the difference between your generation and Wang Yifu?" When you are alive, it is not beneficial to the country, and even if you die, it is not harmless to Hu Lu at all - what is the so-called martyrdom?! ”

——————————

This Pei Wenyue, whose name is Pei Gai, although the body belongs to this era, the soul comes from two thousand years later. As the other party said, his real body saw the roaring Hu Qi in the daytime, and when he saw the rolling human heads, the rain of arrows in the sky, and the blood and mud all over the ground, he was stupid on the spot, so a soul from the future suddenly took away for some reason.

This phenomenon has a proper noun in later generations, called - soul wearing.

However, after Pei Gai's soul occupied the body, he looked around his body, but he couldn't help crying without tears. This may be the most painful crossing in history, even if it is written in a novel, unless it is opened at the beginning, there is no possibility of turning the tables at all...... No, let alone turn the tables, even the way to live has been almost completely cut off!

At first, he still had the hope of what happened, because the number of the Jin army was too much, and the weapons and equipment were quite sophisticated, and Hu Qi was only a few thousand, as long as he could persuade hundreds of people to gather and struggle, it should not be difficult to fight out of the siege. But then through the fragmented memories of this life in my mind, I roughly figured out my own identity - the free cavalry squire, the marquis of Nanchang, listening to this name seems to be quite bluffing, but in fact it is just an idle writer with no real power in the huge bureaucratic group, and he only knows literary affairs, does not know martial arts, and even a middle-level officer does not recognize it, how can I make those soldiers who are completely frightened listen to their own words?

once tried to run to talk to a few big-headed soldiers who were covered in blood and full of despair, but the other party couldn't understand what he was saying, only knelt down and kowtowed; I searched everywhere for middle and lower-level officers, but the establishment of the Jin army had long been broken up, and almost none of the officers could find their subordinates...... Then, as soon as he showed his desire to break out of the encirclement, he was regarded as a madman by the soldiers and colleagues......

Pei Gai also considered escaping alone, or hiding in the corpse pile to avoid Hu Qi, but it was pure luck, which is equivalent to completely handing over his fate to God, which protagonist of a time-traveling novel can rely on such negative means to turn over?

In particular, after careful probing around with what was considered crazy in the ears of others, combined with the remaining memories in his mind, he could barely figure out the current situation. This is one of the most famous battles in history – although the average history buff may not have noticed – the 100,000 Central Army of the Western Jin Dynasty was wiped out in a battle, announcing the complete collapse of the regime in the near future......

The root of the matter has to start from a few years ago, the Huhan regime established by the Xiongnu people is pressing step by step, until the suburbs of Luoyang, when this critical juncture, the ruling king of the East China Sea Sima Yue and the general Gou Xi have a contradiction, not only attack each other, and even meet each other. In the end, Sima Yue left the emperor and led a hundred officials and the main force to the south, and the army was in Xiang, claiming that he was looking for an opportunity to attack the Hu Han general Shi Le, but in fact, the sword was pointed at Gou Xi. In March of this year, Sima Yue suddenly died in the army due to illness, and the army was elected by the public to promote Sima Fan, the king of Xiangyang, as the main one, but Sima Fan was just a puppet, and it was the Taiwei Wang Yan Wang Yifu who really held the real power.

Wang Yan is a famous contemporary metaphysician, empty talker, and sophist, and there is an idiom called "Honest Female Yellow", which was originally said by this person - saying that his theories are all loopholes, but even if someone finds fault with him, he will revise them at any time with a shy face and no discipline, just like taking female yellow to completely erase the words that have been written. No one could have imagined that once he got the military power, he did not dare to enter Shile or Gou Xi, and he was unwilling to return to Luoyang to defend the city, so he used Sima Yue's last order to lead the army to support the coffin, planning to go all the way to the East China Sea to be buried!

When Shi Le heard the news, he immediately led thousands of elite horsemen to chase after him, and finally caught up with the Jin army in Kuxian. Wang Yan sent the general Qian Duan to fight against him, but he went north in a battle, and Qian Duan was killed in battle. When the news of defeat came, this Wang Yifu was instantly frightened, and in the face of the enemy soldiers who were definitely less than his own, he was helpless, and only knew how to mourn and cry. The army was demoralized, and the command system was completely paralyzed, and it was surrounded and shot by thousands of horsemen, and the corpses were piled up like mountains and rivers of blood......

Pei Gai was also a history buff before crossing over, and after reading this period of history, he knew that the final result was that the 100,000 Jin army was destroyed in the city of Ningping, and it is said that "no one was spared", and the princes and princes were all captured and killed by Shi Le - Wang Yan and others barely got a whole corpse, and Shi Le "made people line up the wall to kill them" that night.

In other words, his destined fate was either to die under the shooting of Hu Cai, trampled by horses' hooves, or to be cut off after being captured, even if he was as "lucky" as Wang Yan, he had to be crushed to death by the wall and buried alive by the wall......

What a tragic fate, but this is only the beginning of the 250-year-long chaos, great split, and tragic history of the Chinese nation!

Before the crossing, I also read posts on the Internet, ridiculing that the crossing was careless and fell to death, for example, dressed as the Zhao master in the Sand Palace, Yang Yuhuan dressed as Ma Weiyi, Yue Pengju dressed as the Wind Wave Pavilion, and dressed as Lin Zuoda in the sky above Wendur Khan...... Wait a minute. But no matter how miserable it is, I can still live a celebrity addiction before I die, and I am dressed as a guy who can't find a few words in the history books - who can be worse than me!

Just because his real name is also called Pei Gai?
