In the cold winter, the family should have shrunk at home to buy New Year's goods to celebrate the festival. But in this year's wax moon, Xujiazhuang is filled with an atmosphere of detachment. Many people are preparing at home, not preparing for the New Year, but buying bags for recruiters. A cotton coat, a pair of cloth shoes, and even a few eggs all convey the concern of Xujiazhuang's parents for their children.

The sky was getting brighter, the lantern was hung high in front of the Xu Mansion, and the old servant squatted on the steps with his hands retracted, looking at the direction of the wheat field in a daze. A big black dog curled up in the corner, silent, as if it was also infected by the parting atmosphere, whining and whining. Xu Wei stepped out of the mansion, followed by his sister-in-law and third sister with a sad face.

"Let's go back." Standing still under the eaves, he turned back to his sister and sister-in-law.

Xu Wang let go of his son's hand, walked in front of the little uncle, and did not speak, tears fell first. She tidied up the new cotton clothes on his body, which she sewed by herself. Thinking that the brother she brought up was about to embark on a journey, and the future was uncertain, this virtuous and kind woman's heart was like a knife. She didn't understand marching and fighting, but repeatedly told her brother-in-law to eat well, dress warmly, and try to bring a letter home if possible. Xu Xiuping also had red circles in her eyes, stepped forward and took her brother's hand, not knowing where to start. The two children didn't understand what it was like to go to war, but they just watched their mother cry, and they pursed their mouths for no reason, and said nothing.

Putting away his complicated thoughts, Xu Wei took a deep breath and turned around and walked towards the camp. The nephew suddenly rushed forward, hugged his thigh, and cried loudly. Xu Wang forcibly picked up his son and choked up: "Go ahead, be careful in everything." ”

Gritting his teeth, Xu Wei didn't say a word, and strode towards the camp. Qu Chong was ordered by the seed master to recruit Xu Taigong, but he didn't expect that the first brave general of the Western Army that year was now riddled with diseases and no longer had the prestige of the past. Disappointment, and the military situation was urgent, so he immediately resigned and left. Xu Wei discussed with his father and decided to lead the Jingsui battalion to the front line to resist Jin and defend the country.

The troops crossed the village and marched eastward, and the people of Xujiazhuang helped the old and the young to come to the relevant area. Many people were looking for their relatives in the team, and once they found it, they stuffed the baggage in their hands and loudly told them to come back alive. Xu Wei rode a tall horse, wore armor, and carried a Mo knife, walking at the forefront of the team. When you pass in front of your home, you don't squint. Except for Mrs. Xu, everyone in the Xu Mansion stood under the eaves, watching Xu Wei's back disappear in front of him, and he didn't know when he would come back.

"The ninth brother has grown up and become a ......," Xu Xiuping gently supported the crying Xu Wang clan and muttered.

In December of the seventh year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty, although the garrison of Yanshan Mansion resisted stubbornly under the leadership of the prefect Cai Jing, it could not resist the fierce and warlike Jurchen iron cavalry, and Yanshan fell. Cai Jing died in the enemy's army, and the commander of the Jin army refused to separate his body and hung it at the head of Yanshan City to show the public. The Song army in the city was leaderless and had to surrender to the Jin army. Although the Jin army captured Yanshan, the losses were not small, and they were all killed in anger. Although the Eastern Route Army won the first battle, the Western Route Army approached Taiyuan, but encountered stubborn resistance. It was difficult for him to succeed for a while, so he ordered a long-term siege. When the news reached Tokyo, the whole country was shaken. The people of Hebei and Hedong saw that the Jin army was coming, and they fled south with their families. The banditry in these two places was already the most serious, and for a time, thieves arose, and the strategic places of the two rivers were in chaos.

In mid-December, the Jin Army's East Route Army moved south, defeated 5,000 Zhending reinforcements in one fell swoop, and then broke 30,000 Zhongshan Fu reinforcements, which was unstoppable. He didn't see that the Song army was so vulnerable, and even the Liao army was not as good as the declining Liao army, and he was ambitious, clamoring to fight to Tokyo and capture Emperor Song alive! Han Chen suggested that the battle situation of the Western Route Army was unknown, and it was not appropriate to go deep alone. I couldn't leave where I was willing to listen, and went all the way south, approaching Xingzhou. The governor of Xingzhou is strong and clear, refusing to defend without fighting. The Jin army attacked for several days without breaking through, so it bypassed Xingzhou, burned and looted all the way, and went straight to Xiangzhou.

Tokyo shook, Zhao Ji panicked, and successively issued edicts ordering all states and counties to lead troops to Beijing to protect the country. It was not until the end of December that the army of King Qin from all over the country gathered under the city of Tokyo, reaching 300,000 people, and Tong Guan also led tens of thousands of elites to arrive in Beijing, and he breathed a sigh of relief. It stands to reason that Tokyo's defenses have been strengthened, and he should dispatch troops to repel the invading enemy. But this Daojun Emperor thought differently from ordinary people, and instead of sending a force to fight, he sent an envoy to sue for peace with the Jin army. He also said that your two countries are allies, and there is a friendship between them to jointly destroy Liao, and Zhang Jue's incident is a pure misunderstanding, and the Great Song Dynasty is willing to apologize and pay compensation.

The army is not alone, and the attack on Xingzhou is not broken, and the Hanchen under the account has been persuaded one after another, and he has already had the intention of retreating, and intends to return the army to Yanyun after plundering. But as soon as Zhao Ji's envoys arrived, the second prince of the Jin Kingdom realized that the Great Song Dynasty was just a sheep in dog clothing, only barking, and there was a bigger advantage to take advantage of! So he killed the envoys of the Song court, ordered the three armies, and approached the Yellow River!

It was at this moment that news came. It is said that the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty worshiped the famous general Seed Master Dao as the inspector of the school, the envoy of the Jingnan Army, the envoy of the Gyeonggi Lianghe system, and gave him the right to act independently, and he had led a million western troops to come to King Qin. I don't know the truth and I hesitate. Han Chen also pointed out that the master Dao was a famous general of the Song army, who had always been good at fighting, and now he led a large army to help, so he should not fight hard with him, and should return to Yanyun. If you don't kill all the way, which general of the Song army is not a famous general, and he is not about to collapse at the touch of a button? So he didn't listen to the advice, and threatened to sweep the planter road and cross the Yellow River! Took away the flowers and rivers of the Han people!

When Zhao Ji heard the news in Tokyo, he complained bitterly and scolded the ministers to the blood. I wanted to send a higher-ranking envoy to the army to sue for peace. But there is a lesson from the past, who is willing to take this risk? In the end, Emperor Daojun was dizzy and actually sent the stranded Guo Yaoshi as an envoy! Guo Yaoshi was also resolutely unwilling at first, but Zhao Ji thought that he had been in Liaodi for a long time and was familiar with the situation of the Jin army, so he was the most suitable candidate. The minister of the DPRK and the Central Committee said that Guo Yaoshi was a brave general, and he should be allowed to lead the army to resist the enemy, so how could he act as an envoy. Zhao Ji didn't listen and forcibly sent an envoy, which planted the root cause......

This is a village under the rule of Xiangzhou in the Great Song Dynasty, and at noon, the roofs of every household are smoking from the roof. Although there is news that the Jurchens have called, the people in the village thought, our place is thousands of miles away from Yanyun, do the Jurchens have wings?

Outside the village, several naughty children were chasing and playing with each other, and a woman stood at the entrance of the village calling for the children to eat. But the children were all playful and deaf, and the woman was in a hurry, so she grabbed the ears of a child of seven or eight years old and dragged her home. Suddenly, I heard the sound of horses' hooves behind me, and when I looked back, I saw a group of soldiers and horses galloping towards me. Our place is so remote, and it has always been peaceful, how can there be officials and soldiers coming?

Frightened, he hurriedly hugged his son and went to the village. I didn't run a few steps, but when I looked back, I was so shocked that the woman's feet were weak and her face was like ashes! The children, who were still playing, were stupefied by the sudden arrival of the cavalry, and stood motionless!

"Run! Run! The woman cried out in a hurry! Suddenly there was a scream and I hurriedly covered the child's eyes! ! The cavalry actually collided directly! Pity those children, they were hit by the galloping war horses and flew straight out! Didn't even scream! The woman was so frightened that she sat down on the ground, hugged the child tightly, and secretly prayed for the gods' protection. A spear roared, and the iron spear pierced through the chest! Before the woman could breathe, she was knocked down and trampled by the iron horse, and she still held the child and refused to let go.

"The thieves are coming! Run! Shouts erupted in the village, doors of every house opened, and panicked men, women, and children rushed out. But what awaits them is either a one-hit iron spear or a whistling arrow. One of the soldiers and horses was holding a horses, holding a scimitar, and shouting loudly. He didn't speak Chinese, and he dressed strangely. The upper body is wrapped in white fur and covered with iron armor. Although he wore an iron helmet on his head, two braids were exposed. After he shouted a few words, the other horsemen turned and dismounted, and the other knights, except for the archers, did not chase the people fleeing outside the village, but broke into the farmhouse with weapons in hand. Under a big tree in the village, a ploughing ox was tethered, and two soldiers walked over and stabbed it in the belly. Blood spurted out, and without waiting for the cow to die, they pulled out their short knives to cut open the tripe, and removed the internal organs from the belly of the cow that was still struggling and moaning.

Screams erupted in the village, and after the people who hid at home who had no time to escape were discovered, the other party did not say a word at all, and killed them directly. In less than a meal, there was no sound in the village except for unintelligible nonsense.

The man with the scimitar waited for a while, then screamed again. The men drove the pigs and sheep, and gathered one after another with the packages. When the man looked at it, there were two other horses on their backs, and they were about to attack. Suddenly, I heard a terrible woman's scream, and when I looked for my voice, I saw two of my subordinates carrying a woman from the Southern Dynasty out, struggling desperately, shouting: "Spare your life!" Spare your life! ”

The man strode forward, grabbed the woman by the neck, and took a closer look. With a smile on his face, he said a few nonsense words in his mouth, causing a group of subordinates to shout loudly. The man laughed, threw the cutlass at the soldier, and picked up the woman and threw her to the ground. Seeing her desperately crawling forward, she laughed and rushed forward to drag her feet, pressed her knees to the ground, and tore the other party's skirt with both hands. Dozens of subordinates stared without turning their eyes, and the sound of heavy wheezing came and went, occasionally mixed with the cooing sound of a few people's throats, I really don't know if it was a human or a beast.

"Oh my God! Spare me! Spare me! The woman was crushed to the ground, unable to move, crying hysterically. The lower skirt was ripped off, and the snow-white thighs hooked the man's saliva. If you can't wait to untie your belt, you will stage an ugly show in broad daylight.

Suddenly! A soldier fell from his horse, and his companions around him were instinctively on guard, and the man who was about to * looked up, only to see that the soldier had been pierced through the throat by a feathered arrow!
