Text Chapter 8 Falling in the City
The sunset stops in the middle of the mountain, and the surrounding clouds are red in the sky, and the beauty is indescribable. The heat in the city has subsided, and there is a crowd of people walking in the empty streets, which is the army of Jianzhou cleaning up the mess in the city. Yue Tuo looked at the busy soldiers in the city, and couldn't help but sigh lightly, there should still be people on this street yesterday, even if it was only threes and threes. Today they are homeless, and the city is empty. Raising his head and looking in the direction of Yehexi City, once the West City was defeated, it meant that they loved Xin Jueluo and unified the entire Jurchen. Between the white mountains and black waters, there is no power worth worrying about.
Suddenly, Yue Tuo suddenly realized that Marfa was not in a hurry to attack Yehe, probably because when the hero completed the final conquest, what was left for the hero was actually nothing more than a kind of desolation. Yue Tuo also grew tired of this kind of conquest and annexation. Looking back at the place where I just rested, it seems that every day is different, born in this era of war, it is essential to be displaced, and there is a roof tile to shelter from the wind and rain, which should be regarded as a blessing. It's just that in this vast land where the people are not living, who will end it?
Just now someone came to spread the news that the envoy sent by Yehexi City had surrendered, and this meeting had been received by Marfa, Yue Tuo frowned unconsciously, stepped up, and left the street and walked into the inner hall where Nurhachi was.
The envoy of Xicheng endured the fear in his heart, knelt on the ground tremblingly, and did not dare to raise his head and waited for the strong men here to decide life and death. Nurha looked coldly at the surrender letter sent by Belebyangu in the western city in Daishan's hand, his eyes full of disdain. When Dai Shan saw Yue Tuo walk in, he didn't say much, and when he finished saluting, he handed him the letter.
Yue Tuo took the letter with both hands and glanced at it, knowing that the carelessness was nothing more than surrender. It was only the last sentence of the letter that attracted Yue Tuo's attention, and what the letter asked for was that as long as he promised to keep his life, he would surrender all the things in the city, whether it was the people in the city, or they could take it. But be sure to promise to save his life. Yue Tuo couldn't help but snort coldly, the description of the class is really good, it's really just two goods, no discipline, no humanity.
"Amma, since Xicheng has surrendered, we can accept it, and it will save us a lot of trouble."
"Second brother, we all know that Buyangu is your brother-in-law, so you don't need to be so protective." Mang Gurtai looked down on Dai Shan's timid and fearful appearance the most, and snorted coldly. Without waiting for Dai Shan to reply, he looked at Nurhachi again and said: "Amma, now Ye He is not our opponent, if he enters the city and destroys it directly, it will be done, so why bother with whether he surrenders or not." ”
Nurhachi knew that his son had always been reckless, and there was no ink in his chest, but over the years, there were fewer and fewer people who could talk to him directly, so he was a little more partial to Mang Gurtai. The tone was very relaxed, and he said with a faint smile on his face: "You, even if you don't use your brains and storm the city, we will definitely have damage, what should we do if the gains outweigh the losses?" ”
"Uncle, what should we do then?" Amin Belle always hoped that he would not lose his existence, but he had no idea, and all he could do was repeat other people's conversations.
"Stand down."
The envoy of Xicheng was relieved, raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and bowed his body and cautiously exited the room.
"Yue Tuo, what do you think?"
Seeing that the people who had come had gone, Nurhachi looked at Yue Tuo, and his eyes were much gentler. Over the years, he has fought everywhere and expanded his territory, but what really surprised and delighted him was the growth of his grandson Yuetuo.
Yue Tuo's bravery, decisiveness, and wisdom all made him happy, and the most rare thing was that his face was as cold as ice, but he actually still retained a passion in his heart, which was very rare in this family of interests. His enthusiasm set off a long-standing impulse in his heart, no longer about the overall situation, just a simple family affection between his ancestors and grandchildren, which made him feel a little warm. This is not what a king should have, but it is what he, the Marfa do, wants to protect. I can't tell if it's for Yue Tuo or for myself. Or maybe he has given up too much for the so-called great cause over the years.
Yue Tuo put down the letter in his hand and looked up at Marfa, and at the same time felt the expectant look from his own Amma. With a cold snort in his heart, he said without hesitation:
"Marfa, a capricious villain like Buyangu, it's just a waste of food to keep it."
As soon as these words came out, Mang Gurtai, Amin, Zilharang, Duza, and Dudu, who were sitting on the side, were attracted at the same time. Du Zhi frowned and sighed, this guy can't follow his own Ama once, and in front of so many people. Du Du was also a little nervous, and looked at Dai Shan worriedly. The other three squinted their eyes as if they were smiling, and came back to look between Dai Shan and Yue Tuo. Dai Shan's whole body obviously trembled slightly, and he didn't look at Yue Tuo, but just looked at his Khan Ama with an expressionless face.
Nurhachi had a smile in his eyes, although it was faint, but there was a warmth, he winked at Yue Tuo gently, turned his head and said to Dai Shan lightly:
"Daishan, we accept their surrender. You go and deal with it. Dai Shan was obviously surprised, nodded and saluted, and bowed back to the side.
Yue Tuo glanced at Marfa quietly, and the trace of cunning in his eyes was appropriately captured by himself perfectly. Without further ado, he stepped aside.
The sun was already shining, and the gates of the city of Yehsy were wide open. Two teams of people stood in line, and the western city of Belebyangu, holding the seal in both hands, stood respectfully in the middle of the gate. Nurhachi glanced coldly at Buyangu and gave Daishan a look. Dai Shan turned over and dismounted, nodded and smiled at Buyangu, and took the seal with both hands. Buyangu glanced at the seal again, and stood beside the city gate in a reluctant manner. Nurhachi raised his horsewhip and led his army slowly into the gates of the city of Yehsi.
Starting today, he loves Xinjue Luo Nurhachi to unify the Jurchen tribes. Those who passed away will still come to mind, but they will no longer be his threats.
The overall street architecture of the east and west cities is very ordinary, and although the scale of Baylor House in the east city is large, it is no different from ordinary courtyards. But this Xicheng Baylor Mansion is indeed amazing. The entire Baylor House is built on the slope of the mountain, and it is greeted by a small three-storey building, which is magnificent and magnificent.
The architectural style of the attic is not clear to the Jianzhou Jurchens, after the three-story attic, it is a courtyard, and it is the style of Suzhou garden, a corner of the courtyard is a rockery, and a small waterfall is led down from the rockery. A stream slowly forms along the waterfall, shuttling through the entire courtyard, and on both sides of the stream stand dotted with green bamboos. There is also a small pavilion not far from the waterfall, a guqin is placed on the stone table in the pavilion, in the drizzle and breeze, the pavilion strokes the qin, there is no interest.
Yue Tuo took the guards to inspect the surrounding environment, and when he returned to the inner hall, he couldn't help but take a look at Buyangu, and he couldn't see that this rough Jurchen man still had some delicate Jiangnan feelings. It's just that the weather here in Yehe, the days when the wind and sunshine are only one-third of the year at most. The design of these courtyards is simply flashy.
Yue Tuo reported some of the situation in the back hall of the inner court, and after listening to it, Nurhachi ordered everyone to enter the inner hall. Buyangu hurriedly led everyone into the inner hall on the first floor of the small building. Nurhachi sat facing south. Dai Shan, Amin, Mang Gurtai, Wu Ergu, Yue Tuo, Du Zhi, and Du Du sat at the bottom in turn. Buyangu stood in the middle, reporting on the relevant matters of Yehsi City in an orderly manner. Except for Nurha's expressionless face, everyone just looked around and admired the layout design of the entire attic. The whole attic has three floors, the first floor is a hall, the second floor is empty in the middle, and there are some rooms on either side of the square corridor. The design of the third floor is the same as that of the second floor, except that the rooms are half less and the top is round.
"I'm really going to enjoy it. These three lofts are grand enough. Du Xiang leaned out half of his body and exchanged his head with Yue Tuo, who was sitting on his right hand. Yue Tuo glanced at the entire attic and sneered. Dai Shan on the opposite side glared at Du Xiang, who hurriedly retracted his body and sat down steadily, continuing to listen to Buyangu's tirade about Xicheng's political affairs.
"Amma, it's past noon, why don't you eat first, and then have a good rest. Nor can the decision be made on the great affairs of the city. Let's take it slowly in the future. Dai Shan saw that Nurhachi was already bored, so he hurriedly got up and asked for instructions, and saw Nurhachi nodding in agreement. Hurry up and give the Buyangu envoy a look. Buyangu breathed a sigh of relief, saluted, and respectfully withdrew.
In just half a cup of tea, the square table of eight people in the hall was full of wine and food. For several months, everyone was fighting on the battlefield, running around and toiling, and there was no food and clothing. At this moment, when I saw the table full of wine and meat, after making sure that I was safe, I began to drink happily, so I was not happy. And Buyangu is just standing between Nurhachi and Daishan.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, suddenly a thick fragrance of flowers wafted all over the house. The sound of silk and bamboo also came slowly. When everyone looked up, they saw a group of dancers running out of the attic on both sides of the third floor, the dancers on both sides held each other's colored cloths, and the four dancers in the opposite corners crossed each other to hold the colored cloths, and each colored cloth was hung with flowers, and the dancers waved the colored cloths with the rhythm, and the petals naturally and slowly floated down. When the music is subdued, two beauties slowly rise from the opposite corners, one of whose clothes are as red as the sun, and the other's clothes are as white and cold as the moon.
The rhythm of the music became more and more rapid, the two accompanied by the sound of the music, slowly drifted down along the diagonal colored cloth, all the way to the middle of the first floor where everyone was, the petals were flying wantonly when the two fell, and the two were dancing among the flowers like fairies, sometimes strong, sometimes soft, dancing steps, fluttering clothes, everyone was stunned.
At the end of the song, the dance stopped, and Buyangu's face also had a more smug look, and with the two beauties who were dancing, he stopped in front of Nurhachi to greet An Shili.
The two slowly knelt down and kowtowed. He said in unison: "Congratulations to the Heavenly Khan Futai for his good health." "Whispering, making people's bones crispy.
"Get up, reward."
Nurhachi's expression remained faint.
As soon as the two of them got up, Buyangu smiled flatteringly again: "Qiqitian Khan, these two are my nieces, our Yehe's Gege." ”
Only then did everyone see the faces of the two Gege.
"Red Gege", although he is dressed in fiery red, has an indifferent temperament on his face, standing on the side expressionlessly, between his eyebrows and eyes is very exquisite, and his eyes are not shocked, not bewitching.
Yue Tuo suddenly remembered that Lan Xi'er's bright eyes were the same, but in the sweet smile, there was still a faint evil intention floating in the eyes, and he couldn't help but take a look at the "Red Gege", but unfortunately the eyes in front of him were empty and lifeless.
Although "Qing Gege" is plain and elegant, the beauty between the eyebrows and eyes is too ostentatious, a pair of apricot eyes are full of affection, the eyebrows are picturesque, bright and compelling, and the intelligence of the face is all written on the face, Yue Tuo shook his head lightly. It's a pity that the peerless face, full of calculations, is on the face.
"Heavenly Khan, this Gege is Yehnara Jingda." Buyangu saw that Nurhachi didn't say much to his niece, and brought the "Qinggege" closer.
"This Gege is Dongge's niece, and people say that she is like her."
Yue Tuo gasped when he heard this, and slowly looked up at Buyangu, sure enough, Buyangu's flattering and pleasing expression still stayed on his face, but it was different from before, it was definitely frozen on his face. Yue Tuo raised his wine glass and took a sip gently, whether this Belle Lord is brave or second, and he dares to mention Brother Dong. With Buyangu's eyes, he looked at Marfa and shook his head slightly, that's right, Marfa was definitely murderous in his eyes. The whole banquet was also instantly quiet.
"Amma, the name of the dance just now is "Sun and Moon", I am very thoughtful, I wish Ama and our Dajin Kingdom to shine with the sun and the moon." After Dai Shan finished speaking, he hurriedly knelt down, and Buyangu also hurriedly knelt down, and soon everyone present got up and saluted together to congratulate the Han and the sun and the moon.
Nurhachi's face was much better, and he looked at everyone with a satisfied smile, and motioned for everyone to get up and sit down.
The banquet continued, and Buyangu also took the opportunity to retreat with the two Gege. Yue Tuo looked at Buyangu's back, and shook his head slightly, the sun and the moon, I'm afraid that you won't be able to see the sun and moon tomorrow.
When the sun was rising, Buyangu's body was found, in his own room, and the old lady fainted on the spot, when he heard that his mother was the first to find it.
At this moment, in this room, in addition to Buyangu's corpse, there are also Daishan and Sakhalin, one old and one young, sitting and standing. Dai Shan was a little distracted, looking at the corpse of his wife and brother in a daze, at a loss. Sakhalin is okay, although he is his own uncle, but he has no feelings, and he knows a little about his character, and he has to stand here to accompany Amma to grieve and grieve.
Buyangu was hanged by a curved bow, which was parked around the corpse, and the whole bow was deformed. The strength of the wrist is unparalleled.
"Don't you want to be so high-profile, stabbing to death, or suicide. In this way, we killed it. Du Zhi stood by the door and shook his head. There seemed to be pity on his face, and it seemed like ridicule.
Yue Tuo just stared at his Ama with his eyes expressionless.
"No, it won't be Amma." Du Zhi followed Yue Tuo's eyes, shaking his head while explaining to Yue Tuo.
Yue Tuo glanced at Du Xiang and snorted coldly: "Of course it's not Amma, you don't remember how hard he worked yesterday, he must have received a lot of benefits from this Belle Master, how could he kill someone." ”
"Do you want to say that about yourself, Amma." Du Zhi looked at Yue Tuo in surprise and speechlessness, even if this was a tacit matter, there was no need to say it so bluntly.
"Isn't everyone who thinks so?" Yue Tuo looked at Du Zhi with an innocent face, and his mouth was indifferent, but a trace of chill floated in his eyes.
Du Zhi looked at Yue Tuo in a daze, but Yue Tuo just looked at Ama again with a smile, turned around and left the room. Du Zhi sighed softly, shook his head at Amma, and turned away.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, help." Suddenly, there was a commotion in the inner courtyard, and a woman ran out, facing Yue Tuo and Du Class, kneeling straight in front of them, and the soldiers chasing behind saw Yue Tuo and Du Class hurriedly saluting, but did not stop moving, and grabbed the woman's arm when he got up, and dragged him to the inner courtyard.
The capital recognized that this was the "Qinggege" Yehenarajingda who danced yesterday. Seeing that although she was pulled back by the soldier's arm, she still kept turning her head, and shouted loudly: "Brother-in-law, save me, save me."
Yue Tuo looked at that Gege, and then turned his head to look at Du Class.
Du Zhi was also puzzled, and rolled his eyes: "I don't think it should be calling me." ”
"Brother-in-law, don't you remember Sister Min'er?"
Yue Tuo's heart was shocked, he turned his head, his eyes gathered all the charm, and his sharp eyes looked at Gege in the distance.
"Wait." Du Xiang was about to be pulled around the corner when he saw someone, but Yue Tuo still didn't react, and immediately stopped him. Yeh Na Lamin'er is the great blessing of Yue Tuo's death.
The soldier was obviously stunned and relieved, and Jingda took the opportunity to shake off the soldier's arm and run back.
"Brother-in-law."
Jingda knelt steadily in front of Yue Tuo, calling him softly, a pair of amorous eyes closed slightly, tears flashed between the eyelashes, the eyes were full of affection like spring water, two lines of tears flowed slowly, with her beautiful face, even if it was a little powder, it was enough to capture people's souls.
Yue Tuo put away the sharpness in his eyes just now, his face was expressionless, and he gasped, this kind of pear blossom brought a rain beauty, and he was still kneeling in front of him, our Yue Tuo Taiji, did you give a bad reaction, and the people were so good that they called you all the way.
"You are so bold, this is Ye He's Jingda Gege, the big men have ordered not to disturb the people, you dare to pull Gege."
Suddenly out of nowhere, Zilharang reprimanded the soldier loudly, Yue Tuo and Du Zhi frowned at the same time, looking at him for some reason, where did this person get his anger, did he need to be so excited.
"If you go back to Taiji, the slave doesn't dare, the slave doesn't dare, the slave is ordered to temporarily lock the people in this house in the room and not move around." The soldier quickly knelt down and explained while kowtowing.
Yue Tuo and Du Zhi looked at the soldiers at the same time, and looked at each other, knowing in their hearts, it was self-evident that the person who hanged Buyangu was self-evident.
"If that's the case, then take it back." After speaking, Du Zhi looked at Yue Tuo with a good look on his face, and wanted to give him a chance to save the beauty as a hero. It's just that this guy still has calm eyes and no pity. Du Zhi looked at Gege in front of him, pursed his lips, and shook his head regretfully, although Qing is already stunning, but there are a few people in this world who can move our Yue Tuotaiji.
"Brother-in-law, are you really going to die?" Jingda said and knelt down in front of Yue Tuo again.
"Why don't you die, we didn't slaughter the city. Take her back. ”
Seeing that Yue Tuo was not moved at all, he had no temperament to listen to her shouting. Beckoned the soldiers to take Jingda back.
Jingda was obviously stunned, looking at the two of them coldly, neither to leave nor to stay.
"You go back first, don't worry, we won't kill innocents indiscriminately."
Zilharang hurriedly showed goodwill, with an amiable look, and helped Jingda up as he spoke. Let the soldiers lead the way and personally send her back. Jingda looked at Zilharang and nodded slightly embarrassedly, his watery eyes flashed with affection and grievance, and Zilharang's heart was touched. It's just that Jingda followed Ji'er Harang a few steps, and turned around the corner to find Yue Tuo. He had already turned, with only one back, and he was drifting away.
