Chapter 35: Heavenly Machines
Gongsun Zheng's face was solemn, and his eyes seemed to be deep and empty, as if he wanted to substitute his emotional thinking into the tragic picture of the decisive battle on the cliff mountain.
More than 300,000 people committed suicide by throwing themselves into the sea, floating corpses were all over the sea, and the fish in the sea could not be eaten clean for three years. Although no one has ever seen or even thought about this kind of scene, whether it is Gongsun Zheng or his master Luo Zhenren, or even among the people he knows, this does not prevent Gongsun Zheng from falling into great sadness and pain because of his imagination.
So much so that the frightened expression on the scalper's face was mistaken by Gongsun Zheng for this sad and painful emotion.
The two were silent, but after a long time, Gongsun Zheng suddenly picked up the wine bowl in front of him and drank half of the wine in it, but said with a miserable smile: "Actually...... Senior brother, your amnesia is also a good thing! ”
The scalper was frightened and didn't say anything, and after hearing Gongsun Zheng's words, he asked carefully, "Senior brother...... Is this serious? I don't remember anything, and if such a heavenly opportunity is easily leaked, I'm afraid it will cause trouble! I also remember that my master said that if the heavenly secret is leaked, I am afraid that it will not work. ”
"Haha! There is really a ...... disaster" Gongsun Zheng picked up the wine jar and filled himself with another bowl, but looked at the scalper and said: "As for the spirit, does the junior brother think that such a tragic thing can happen?" ”
The scalper thought about it and shook his head: "I don't believe it! ”
"Why?" Gongsun Zheng picked up the wine bowl and took a dry sip, and asked with a smile: "But you think it's too unbelievable?" ”
The scalper suppressed the fear in his heart and argued: "Don't say that I don't remember what I said, just say what kind of Jin country, I haven't heard anyone say it, these days I have read a lot of newspapers in my uncle's mansion, I only know that there is a Liao country in the north, and there are Xixia and Dangxiang in the northwest, but I haven't seen any mention of the Jurchen, if you want to destroy our Great Song Dynasty in the future, at least there must be a million soldiers, otherwise how can you capture Tokyo Bianliang." I heard a few elders in the west of the city talk that when the Tanyuan Alliance was in place, the Liao State was known as a million-strong army, but it was not defeated by our Great Song Dynasty. ”
When Gongsun Zheng heard this, he laughed out loud, and instead of distinguishing the matter of the Tanyuan Alliance with the scalper, he asked, "Senior brother, do you know a person named Ah Guta?" ”
The scalper remembered this name in a trance, and his full name should be Wanyan Aguta, but he shook his head and said, "I don't know, it sounds like a Hu name." ”
"Yes, but she is a member of the Wanyan Department of the Female Zhen, and her full name should be Wanyan Aguta." Gongsun Zheng put down the wine bowl and looked up at the roof, but his eyes were empty, as if he was recalling something, and then said: "When the senior brother heard the name, he also thought like the junior brother, but thinking that it was this person who established the Jin Kingdom in the heavenly machine, he held the heart of Ning to believe it, and asked the people in the green forest in the north to investigate. More than a month ago, there was news, how are you, there is really this person! ”
"Ahh The scalper was finally shocked, and opened his mouth in astonishment, he had never believed the ghost's words from beginning to end, but he didn't want to really have this person.
Gongsun Zheng didn't take it seriously, so he said: "A certain good man in the green forest of the north didn't know who this person was, but he made a special trip to northern Liaobei for this purpose, and on the way he met the people of the Sushilie tribe who escaped from the living thorn muddy water (now Baichengzi in the south of Acheng, Heilongjiang), and inquired about the whereabouts of Aguta. This Akuda is really a member of the Wanyan tribe, the grandson of the former patriarch of the Wanyan tribe, the grandson of the former patriarch Wu Gu Nai, the second son of the current patriarch of the impeachment of the bowl, and is now more than forty years old, is a famous warrior of the Wanyan tribe, just a year ago, Akuta led the Wanyan tribe to capture the ancestral land of the Sushi Lie tribe, Ashu City, and expelled the entire Sushi Lie tribe from the live thorn muddy water. After receiving this news, a certain friend then hurriedly used the green forest beacon fire to quickly send the message to Huangzhou in only 15 days. ”
The scalper was naturally speechless when he heard it, of course he was very sure that the name Aguda was told to him by the ghost, but he didn't expect that there would really be this person, and this person was really a hero. Although I don't know how big the scale of this war was in which the Wanyan tribe broke the ancestral land of the Sushi Lie tribe, it was impossible for at least one city to be captured by a hundred or ten people, right?
"Besides......" Gongsun Zheng poured himself a bowl of wine again, looked at the scalper and said: "According to the clansmen who escaped from the Shilie tribe, after Akuda and his father impeached Libo after capturing Ashu City, they asked the Liao people more times for the patriarch of the Sushilie tribe who fled to the Liao State, and they had a disobedient heart to the Liao, although there were thousands of soldiers in the Wanyan Tribe, but they were extremely fierce and belligerent, and there were rumors in private among the Jin Ta Jurchens that the Wanyan tribe wanted to rebel against the Liao State. ”
"Therefore, if it weren't for this ten thousand family incidents, the original intention of the senior brother was to wait until August, and after the junior brother of the old Junguan of Shuzhong who came to replace the senior brother came to Huangzhou, he would personally go to northern Liaoning." After Gongsun Zheng finished speaking, he took a sip of the wine in his hand again, but put the bowl aside and smiled at the scalper: "Now, the junior brother knows how critical this matter is, right?" ”
"I ...... I ......" The scalper didn't know how to speak, he opened his mouth twice, but he didn't know what to say, but Gongsun Zheng guessed his mind and said: "Senior brother, I want to say, if you don't count, how about it?" ”
"Yes, too!" The scalper still didn't believe the ghost's words, because the ghost wanted to take away him, so he hysterically didn't want to believe the ghost's words.
Gongsun Zheng smiled and asked: "That's right, if it's fake, it's fine!" If it is true, what should the junior brother do? ”
The scalper scratched his head: "I ...... What can I do, even if it is true, it is also a major event of the imperial court, and how many Jurchens can my brother kill? How about informing the court of this? I'm an uncle, but I'm the master, why don't I go and talk to my uncle? ”
Gongsun Zheng saw that the look on the scalper's face was no longer the ignorance he had before, and he secretly laughed in his heart, but asked, "Senior brother, do you know what it means to divide the river?" ”
The scalper also walked beside Zhu Taozhi for a few years, reading some of the Four Books and Five Classics and Taoist classics, and his knowledge was still shallow, how could he know the meaning of this river and rule, so he shook his head. Gongsun Zheng stretched out his hand and dipped the residual wine in the bowl, drew two lines on the table, and said: "This is the Yellow River, and now the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom can be said to be ruled by rowing the river." And the river is divided, that is, the Yangtze River is drawn, Hangzhou is in the south of the Yangtze River, where is Huangzhou? ”
The scalper immediately opened his mouth wide, of course he knew that Huangzhou was north of the Yellow River, so he was so shocked that he pointed to the line drawn by Gongsun Zheng: "Senior brother...... Does it mean that this Jin country is going to occupy even Huangzhou? ”
