Chapter 4: The Feast of the Hung Gate
In May of the second year of Jingyasu, Emperor Shirakawa, Emperor Toba, and Seki Fujiwara faithfully repaired the book one after another to the Great Song Dynasty Zuojin Wuwei General Hu to solicit and ask for peace, and at the end of May, the leader of the Hei family, the right minister Ping Zhengsheng repaired the book, proposed to the young lady of the Yuan family for his son, and asked for a marriage with the Yuan family, hoping that the two families of Pingyuan would turn the war into jade silk.
On the second day of the arrival of Ping Zhengsheng's letter, the Song Yuan coalition army swore to march westward, and the troops marched to Kyoto in three ways, starting the road to Beijing. On the right side, the Genjia samurai regiment supported by the monks attacked the upper field and the lower field, and on the left side, Yue Fei led the dragon guard and the god guard to take 20,000 horses to take the Echigo and the middle of the country. The third sister of the middle road led the inner hall straight, the golden gun class, the east and west classes, and dozens of commands of the Japanese and Tianwu commanded a total of more than 40,000 people to approach the Shinano country.
The three-way people and horses are like breaking bamboo, in front of the Song army's spear and spear array, the god arm crossbow team and the ironclad cavalry, the samurai wearing bamboo armor are vulnerable at all, the two roads are like a bamboo, by the end of June, has been connected to more than a dozen countries, Yue Fei's left army arrived in Echizen, the sword is headed, pointing directly to the territory of the Hei family, the middle army is more Ke Mino, into Omi, threatening the mountain city of Kyoto, the right side of the samurai regiment is where the foundation of the source family is, the number of people is more and more, but after Wu Zhi's toss, Japanese history has changed, Among the descendants of the Gen family, the Uesugi clan and the Takeda clan are afraid that they will also disappear, and Uesugi Kenshin, known as the first brave general of the Warring States period "Echigo no Dragon", and the Takeda Cavalry Regiment that "is as fast as the wind, as slow as a forest, as aggressive as fire, and as immobile as a mountain" no longer appears.
At the beginning of July, the middle army broke Omi Castle, killed more than 1,000 Kyoto guards who supported it, and camped 100 miles away from the Kyoto Imperial Palace. Before Takeshi's "public opinion war", the reputation and popularity of the Heike family fell to the lowest point.
Late at night, from a distance, the torches in the black-pressed Song army camp flickered, like stars in the sky.
The lights in the manager's tent were bright, Wu Zhi sat on the tiger skin chair, his eyes slightly closed, as if thinking about some problem, the mighty general Hu in the military formation, dressed in a snow-white long skirt and bare-white feet, stood behind him, gently rubbing his shoulders.
"Ah, there it is!" Wu Zhi opened his eyes, his face full of joy, and it was obvious that the problem had been solved.
"Just sing that song of Nian Nujiao!" Wu Zhi waved his hand aggressively.
Hu Sanmei sighed helplessly and nodded lightly.
"Lord, Niangniang, the Japanese have a letter." Outside the tent came the maid's whispered words.
"Oh? Take it in. Wu Zhi sighed, looked up and saw Hu Sanmei's face happy, and said, "Don't be in a hurry, don't worry, read the letter and dance again!" β
Hu Sanmei smiled and said nothing.
The tent door curtain was raised, a little maid walked in with her head down, knelt on the ground, held a letterhead in both hands and presented it, the third sister went over to take the letterhead, and the maid saluted again, bowing her head and retreating out.
Wu Zhi took the letterhead in the third sister's hand, glanced at it, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head: "Do you have a Hongmen banquet?" β
The third sister said, "What? "I went over to look at it, but it turned out to be a letter from Emperor Toba, which was respectfully worded, saying that he was willing to make peace with the Great Song Dynasty and the Minamoto family, and tomorrow he would hold a banquet at the imperial palace to entertain General Hu and Miss Minamoto to discuss peace matters.
Recently, the details of the early exploration,Kansai samurai have been marching to the mountain city,Obviously, the Heijia wanted to fight with the Song army in the mountain city,At this time, Emperor Toba suddenly repaired the book to discuss peace,Its intentions can be known,It's just a matter of reason,The emperor invited Chibako and Hu Sanmei,If you refuse, you will lose the status of sending troopsγ
"Hehe, Toba, this guy has a lot of guts, and he wants to take my wife as a hostage?" Wu Zhi sneered.
The third sister smiled slightly: "Then he must be able to deduct it." β
Wu Zhi shook his head: "No, it's too dangerous, wouldn't it hurt me to death if you hurt a hair of our third sister?" β
The third sister's face turned red, and she said after a while: "Tomorrow is the best opportunity, isn't Xianggong also worrying about the Japanese people?" β
Wu Zhi is indeed sad about how to make the reputation of the stinky Toba and how to force him to take the initiative to compromise with his side, but how can he put the third sister in danger to win this opportunity.
"No, don't say it." Wu Zhi shook his head.
The third sister sat back on the soft couch and stopped talking.
Wu Zhi couldn't help but be surprised, could it be that the third sister was angry? Although I haven't seen her angry, I can feel that she is a little depressed. This is really the first time in the world, and she also has times when she is angry?
The third sister sat for a while, and finally couldn't help but say, "Xianggong, can't the concubine relieve her worries?" Qiqiao also once fought the Liao people alone in Youzhou to help the prime minister get out of danger, is the third sister so useless? β
Wu Zhi couldn't help but laugh dumbly, he couldn't imagine that the proud third sister encountered a relationship between men and women, but it was no different from an ordinary girl.
"What are you laughing at?" The third sister saw Wu Zhi smiling strangely, and said with some anger.
Wu Zhi smiled: "Who doesn't know the lady's ability?" Cheng, just listen to you, tomorrow you and Xiao Yezi will go to the banquet, but we have to discuss it carefully, don't be careless in Jingzhou. "Although the ladies in the family are all outstanding characters, fortunately, they get along like sisters. Otherwise, the balancing technique at home is enough for Wu Zhi to have a headache, and now seeing the third sister mention the matter of the seven tricks, it is obvious that the third sister, who has always been conceited, has some small bumps in her heart, and she still has to take this sign away early.
"Did you agree?" Seeing that Wu Zhi, who had rarely changed his mind, suddenly changed his tone, the third sister was a little surprised.
Wu Zhi smiled: "Don't you agree?" I'll show me my face now, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to hear you sing in the future! β
The third sister heard Wu Zhi's ridicule, but sighed and said: "The third sister doesn't want to fight with the Tangram sister for anything, the third sister knows that the Tangram sister and Xianggong know each other in trouble, and their status in Xianggong's mind is naturally different, the third sister is just a little envious of her, she can meet Xianggong early, but the first time I saw Xianggong, it was ...... But it almost harmed Xianggong's life......"
It was rare to hear the third sister talk about her heart, and seeing her self-pity, Wu Zhi couldn't help but walk over and sit next to the soft collapse, gently took her in his arms, and said with a smile: "A hundred years of cultivation can be crossed in the same boat, and a thousand years of cultivation can be entangled with mian, but we don't know the fate of tens of thousands of years, so we can be stabbed by you with such a sword......"
The third sister glanced at Wu Zhi with disgust, but buried her head in Wu Zhi's arms, gently stroked Wu Zhi's chest, and said softly: "Xianggong knows that although this sword is pierced in your chest, it is more engraved in my heart...... The second time I saw Xianggong, Xianggong smiled and said to me, the wound doesn't hurt anymore! Do you know what the third sister felt like at that time? Since I was a child, I have never been so happy, the sky was so blue that day, the flowers were so fragrant, the trees were so green and green, I still remember when I returned to Hujiazhuang, my brother said I was crazy behind my back...... How does he know why I'm laughing all day? β¦β¦β
Listening to the third sister's true feelings, saying things that he had never said before, Wu Zhi's heart fluctuated, and his thoughts seemed to return to a few years ago, the first encounter with the third sister, and all kinds of ......
In the tent, the candlelight flickered, and the two figures on the tent snuggled closely, as if they were one......
β¦β¦
Kyoto Imperial Palace Banquet Hall, melodious flute, Japanese-style music, wearing colorful kimono Miyaki singing and dancing, today's emperor banquet Miss Genjia and the Great Song Gui Princess, the East China Sea Recruiting Envoy General Hu, Sekibai Fujiwara Loyalty, Left Minister Minamoto Masashi, Right Minister Taira Masamori and other powerful people are all present, but Gen Masami is not a descendant of Chibazi Kawachi Gen family, but a descendant of the Fujiwara family, and was given the surname Gen.
In front of the mountain and river screen, Emperor Toba and Emperor Shirakawa sit side by side on the main seat, behind the long table on the right, sitting cross-legged are Fujiwara Faithful, Minamoto Masashi, Taira Masamori and other powerful people, and behind the curved wooden table on the left, Hu Sanmei sits on a low soft chair, how can she sit cross-legged? Never even went to the boots. Chibazi followed the rules, dressed in a kimono, and knelt behind a long table.
Hu Sanmei looked at the dancing girl with a soft waist in the field, compared with the dancing girl in Fuzhong, there is another exotic style, after the war, she has to choose a few for the minister, and it is not in vain to go to Japan.
Immediately shook his head again, he seemed to be a little affected by the Tangram, how could he think of this? The third sister couldn't help but feel a trace of chagrin in her heart.
Emperor Toba, who had been staring intently at the third sister's expression, immediately smiled and said, "Can't these dancing girls enter the eyes of the general?" β
After Chibazi translated, the third sister said lightly: "That's not either." β
"Then why did the general shake his head?" Toba asked with a smile.
The third sister shook her head, stopped talking, looked at the swarthy tea bowl in front of her, and frowned slightly.
Emperor Toba immediately smiled and said: "The general doesn't look at this tea set as inconspicuous, but it is very famous in our country, called ninety-nine eggplants, but it is a Tang set, if it is not for the banquet of the general, the emperor is reluctant to take it out." β
The third sister nodded, but no longer glanced at the tea set, and said, "Let's discuss the topic, I don't know how Your Majesty is going to do it for the Yuan family?" β
Emperor Toba clapped his hands, and after Maihime stepped back, he sighed and said, "The Gen family and I were originally blood relatives, but due to various misunderstandings, we met each other, and even caused the tragic death of the righteous family, and I still feel heartache when I think about it...... Alas......"
After sighing for a while, he said: "It's just that the deceased is gone, and those who come can be chased." If you see that it is too late to find out who is right and who is wrong, it will only increase the killing, the Central Plains has a saying called "meet and laugh and enmity and enmity", and also say "turn war into jade silk", what does General Hu think? β
Hu Sanmei said lightly: "There is also a saying in China, called "the murderer is always killed" and said "the hatred of killing the father is not the same as the sky", if His Majesty is willing to cut off the fiefdom of the Ping family and behead the head of the family, he can turn the war into a jade silk. β
After listening to Chibazi's translation, Ping Zhengsheng sneered, and looked at Hu Sanmei's eyes full of mockery.
Emperor Toba sighed and said: "General Hu, I know that His Royal Highness is famous and respected in the Central Plains, and the princess personally raised troops, I shouldn't have offended, but I have to spare people and spare people, why bother to force each other?" β
Hu Sanmei said: "Your Majesty refuses to agree to my waiting conditions?" β
Emperor Toba smiled bitterly: "But it's really difficult to be the emperor." β
The third sister stood up and said, "Then I'll take my leave!" "I took Chiba's hand and wanted to go out.
Ping Zhengsheng sneered, stood up to block the third sister's way, and said arrogantly: "Sure enough, the arrogant people don't know the height of the sky, and there is no one in the Great Song Dynasty, do you really think that as soon as the princess comes out, I will be necked and bowed?" β
The third sister looked back at Emperor Toba and said, "What does Your Majesty want?" β
Emperor Toba shook his head helplessly, but Emperor Shirakawa, who had not spoken, laughed: "This princess is interesting, it seems that she has not suffered a big loss in the Central Plains, right?" β
The Japanese dignitaries in the hall were all smiling, how did they know that the third sister was famous in the Central Plains? I only thought that her wife was noble by her husband, so she had to be named a general, and the third sister's natural pride made the magnates present think that she was really pampered by the king, so they swaggered to this Hongmen banquet, don't say that she is a weak female stream, even if it is a general? More than 100 of her guards were outside the palace, but hundreds of samurai were arranged next to the banquet hall, and there was enough time to capture her before her guards arrived.
Unexpectedly, it would be so easy to capture the commander of the Song people, and the Japanese people showed a victorious smile, especially Ping Zhengsheng, who turned his head to look at Chibazi and said viciously: "Little thief!" Whiff your muscles and peel your skin in a moment! β
Emperor Toba said to the third sister: "The princess doesn't have to be frightened, the emperor will not be embarrassed for the princess, just wait for the peace with His Royal Highness the king, and then bear the guilt!" "I think that your king can send her to command the army to mess around, you know that she must be favored tightly, with the princess in hand, your king will definitely agree to negotiate peace, the people of Middle-earth have always paid attention to promises, and the dignified king will not regret it, which is why Emperor Toba dared to detain your princess.
Emperor Toba clapped his hands after speaking, and dozens of samurai dressed in colorful feet suddenly poured in behind the screen, the so-called full foot, that is, armor, the samurai with a relatively high status at that time liked to dye the armor colorful, and the helmet was erected high, and the shape was extremely exaggerated.
Emperor Toba said, "Please put down the sword in your hand and follow them to the inner palace, and you will have your own maid to serve you well." Said so, but he didn't put the long sword in the third sister's hand in his eyes, looking at the colorful scabbard, he knew that it was just an ornament.
Heimasama bowed to Emperor Toba and said, "Your Majesty, can Chibazi be handed over to me?" β
Toba frowned slightly, and said, "Wait until the Yuan family matter is settled!" With that, clapping their hands, several warriors walked towards Hu Sanmei, ready to lay down her blades.
The third sister looked at several warriors and said lightly, "Get out." β
Several samurai who came over were swept by her clear gaze, and they involuntarily stopped.
The third sister turned her head and said to Emperor Toba: "Your Majesty acts like this, and also calls himself the emperor?" β
Toba's face was a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare to speak ill of the third sister, so he only turned his head away. Ping Zhengsheng sneered: "The prisoner dares to speak out, didn't your king teach you how to be a woman?" β
After Chiba Zi translated the words, the third sister frowned slightly, and said, "It is a capital crime to humiliate the princess of the Great Song Dynasty." β
Hearing the words of the third sister, the Japanese nobles couldn't help but laugh, and a few not very dignified Japanese people were already giggling and laughing, and Ping Zhengsheng laughed and said: "Capital crime? Okay, even if it's a capital offense, what, do you want to kill me? Come on, kill me? β
The third sister nodded slightly, and said lightly: "Well, I'll kill you." β
After Xiao Yezi translated, everyone laughed, laughed arrogantly, pointed to the third sister and said, "This mother-in-law is really interesting...... Ha ha...... The voice stopped suddenly, and the laughter in the room suddenly seemed to be choked by the throat, and it stopped suddenly.
At the moment of the moment, I saw the white shadow fluttering, and several warriors in front of the third sister had already fallen to the sky, and then a black long sword was inserted into Ping Zhengsheng's throat, and the hilt of the sword was the delicate little hand of the third sister.
The black light flashed and disappeared, and the third sister said lightly: "I have already killed you." β
Ping Zhengsheng clutched his throat with both hands, blood still spurting out, he staggered back, his mouth made a muffled sound, and then slowly sat down, not moving.
The eyes of the widow nobles when they looked at the third sister Hu changed completely, and Toba exclaimed in surprise: "Princess, you, what are you doing?" "I really can't connect the quiet and proud princess with the woman who doesn't change her color after killing people now.
Without waiting for the Japanese to react, Chibazi had already jumped onto the back of the third sister, the white shadow shook, the samurai's screams sounded, and Toba saw the white shadow in front of him flicker, and then he was hit the head, and then he didn't know who was there.
The banquet hall screamed again and again, and when the wailing people came back to their senses, they saw more than a dozen samurai corpses lying in the hall, and Emperor Shirakawa fell in a pool of blood, but Emperor Toba was nowhere to be seen, but outside the hall was shouting and screaming.
Sekihaku Fujiwara was the first to wake up, shouting and rushing out of the banquet hall: "Quick! Stop her! β
But I saw that in the square in front of the banquet hall, a white shadow ran all the way to the south, and the person who blocked it fell down without taking three steps, or head or neck, blood sprayed wildly, at this moment, Fujiwara Faithful suddenly had a Tang poem in his heart, "Zhao Keman Hu Ying, Wu Hook Frost Xueming." The silver saddle shines on the white horse, like a shooting star. Kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for a thousand miles......"
A chill just flashed in his heart, but he heard the white shadow whistle, and a divine white horse flew in, the white shadow lightly got on the horse, and the horse neighed and galloped south.
The alarm bell of the imperial palace sounded like a shock, and a large number of samurai hurried to the south, just under the Fujiwara faithful heart in a pine room, suddenly heard a passionate horn sounded, and then saw the south, more than 100 iron-armored horses wearing snow-white heavy armor slowly galloped in a phalanx, and the knights were all silver heavy armor, and the snow-white extremely long spear in their hands was raised high, and when they rushed to the front of the samurai dozens of steps, the horn sounded again, and then the knights' spears were raised flat, shouting in unison, the phalanx suddenly increased speed, and in the rumbling of horses' hooves, it slammed into the black pressure of the samurai array, Several samurai were knocked out on the spot, vomiting blood and flying out, after the silver-white heavy armored cavalry phalanx rushed out of the samurai group, dozens of samurai were covered in blood holes, lying on the ground, and the rest of the samurai were even more screaming.
The horn sounded again, the knights turned their horses' heads, gathered into a phalanx, and rushed towards the samurai regiment again, two repeatedly, the samurai regiment had been rushed to pieces, and at this time, the white shadow had already relaxed to the front, and the knights of the guards were united.
Fujiwara loyalted in his heart, it was over, and the general trend was gone.
At this time, I suddenly heard the cold words of the princess, and I didn't know what she said, but I heard all the knights shouting in unison, and then the sound of horses' hooves, the knights actually rushed to their side, like a snow-white whirlwind, where they passed, the samurai screamed and fell, Fujiwara loyally struck a fierce spirit, and wanted to flee for his life, but he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and a group of cavalry from the east flew over, and it was the royal samurai cavalry who finally arrived......
But the next scene will be remembered by Fujiwara Tadashi for the rest of his life, and more than ten years later, he will wake up from today's nightmare.
I saw that there was suddenly a silver spear in the princess's hand, and then the silver-armored knights changed their formation and gathered into a silver cone, your princess, it was the tip of the awl!
At the sound of the horn, the cone formation rushed towards the samurai's cavalry, the contact between the cone formation and the samurai cavalry was light, different from the violent impact of the samurai group, this time, the cone formation was like a breeze, not as amazing as the whirlwind of the phalanx, but where the breeze passed, the samurai cavalry fell off their horses one after another.
The silver awl shuttles back and forth in the square, at the tip of the cone, the princess's white dress is like snow, the horse is like jade, and the silver spear is gently pointed out again and again.
It was a completely one-sided killing, I don't know how long the killing lasted, and I don't know when the princess and her guards and pro-army left, until a samurai gently pushed, Fujiwara Faithful woke up suddenly, on the square, countless corpses, blood and water mixed together, slowly flowing to a low place, like a red stream, seeing Fujiwara Faithful was dizzy again, his body was shaky, and the samurai next to him hurriedly helped, and called urgently: "Lord Guan Bai!" Lord Sekihaku! β
