In the book, tentatively titled "The Tale of Higashiyama", I wrote about the fall of a powerful family. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This powerful family once controlled the political, military, and economic lifelines of the country, and generations of monarchs were grandchildren of the family. Generations of queens are daughters of this family. The head of this family has always been the monarch's father-in-law. The power is unparalleled.

However, as time passed, the young children of the family began to enjoy themselves and were unwilling to study hard, and slowly there was a withering of talents, and the monarch no longer relied on them to solve problems, on the contrary, became wary and rebellious against their power, and began to consciously weaken their power and cultivate their own strength.

The family's status slowly declined. In the era when my story was written, although the head of the family was still the monarch's father-in-law, he only enjoyed the honor and grace of the emperor's relatives, and no longer controlled much real power.

The protagonist was the best person in the family at that time, and the only one who also held important real power. The position is equivalent to the military department.

He was a man of great learning and a calm demeanor, but determined and heroic. He can also fight on horseback, but he is not essentially a soldier. Nor is he a melancholy thinker. He is a poet with excellent ability to act and understand aesthetics.

The retribution of the previous sins begins. The monarch began to liquidate the previous sins of their family, and wanted to cut them all down and establish a regime that truly belonged to the monarch.

The people, who had been exploited by their family for a long time, also responded to the monarch's wishes and began to revolt in various places.

For a moment, his family army was embattled and ambushed on all sides. As the most military-savvy of the family's children, he was elected to represent the family and make the last resistance.

He was forced to resign from the imperial court and become the commander of the family army.

They fought to the death against the royal army's army and the rebel army.

After three large-scale battles, the family army suffered heavy losses and defeat was assured.

The hero's advisers all persuaded the hero to break the family troops into pieces, scatter and hide, and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback.

The protagonist knows very well that this is tactically correct and sensible. But he also sees very clearly that his family has been resentful of the world for many years, and the people's hearts have been lost, and it is difficult to recover it, so he does not advocate this kind of unnecessary delay.

He believes that since the fate of defeat has come head-on, it is better to turn around and face it bravely. At least let the world see the kind of bravery and grace that once made our family rise.

He decided to fight a final battle against the king and the rebels in a field.

On the eve of the decisive battle, his troops captured some enemy scouts who were inquiring about the military situation, and also found some traitors on their own side.

He knew that the normal course of action should be to kill these enemy provocateurs and rebels on the eve of the war.

Everyone was expecting him to give the order to carry out, and those who were caught awaited their inevitable fate.

But then he made a decision that surprised everyone.

He personally walked up to these bound people and loosened their ties one by one.

Then he said, "Go home, all of you." The war is over for you. When he had finished speaking, he turned and left the tent.

The people around him chased after him, and in his tent, they questioned him why he did this.

As he changed his clothes, he calmly replied, "What if we kill all the enemy troops?" The hearts of the people of the world have abandoned our family. Even if these enemies are defeated, there will be many more who will rise up against us. Defeat is inevitable, and we are bound to die. But these people are still alive. They still have relatives in their hometown, waiting for them to go back and reunite. Let's just let them go back and live for us. ”

The decisive battle has finally begun. The battle lasted a day and a night. The result was just as he expected. Their clan army was again routed.

Surrounded by defeated soldiers, he fled to a large river. There, there are only 10 ferries waiting. It was already crowded with people fleeing for their lives.

In order to accommodate more soldiers on the ferry, he ordered the BMW he had ridden all his life to be abandoned.

When he got on board, the horse ran and followed ashore with reluctance.

At that moment, one of his guards drew his bow and arrow to shoot the horse.

He stopped the action.

The guard said, "My lord, this is a thousand-mile horse, and we must not let it fall into the hands of the enemy." It will be exploited by the enemy. ”

He said, "Just let it be used by whomever it wants." The war horse that once saved my life can't save me anymore this time. I can't live up to its many rescues either. ”

In this way, they watched as the thousand-mile horse, which ran with the river, sailed into the middle of the great river.

The enemy fleet was quickly surrounded from both upstream and downstream.

The battle continued on the water. He witnessed the heroic battles of his brothers and sons on his command ship, and they were killed one after another.

He saw that his troops were getting smaller and smaller, and he knew in his heart that the final moment had come.

So, he set out to do something that no one would expect.

He changed into a new dress, plain and delicate. Then, he picked up a dust whisk and dusted the cabin clean. He sat there and drank a cup of tea in silence.

He ordered: "Now, let the ship go to the center of the enemy's ranks." ”

As his ship approached the enemy array, the enemy was bewildered by his death-defying move.

All had heard of his abilities and his bravery.

The war, which was already on the verge of an end, came to a halt.

The enemy watched vigilantly as his ship slowly approached.

When the distance between the two sides was very close, he gracefully carried his most beautiful concubine out of the cabin.

He said to his concubine, "I have heard that the guards of the enemy's commanders are full of beautiful men. Now they're all here. Would you like to take a good look at it? ”

So they stood side by side at the window of the cabin, admiring the vigorous posture of the enemy guards.

Then he said to the concubine, "Now, you can make a choice for yourself." Are you willing to be ** to death by these handsome men? Or would you rather end it yourself? ”

When the concubine heard this, she turned around silently, bowed to him deeply, and said, "I am willing to follow the lord." Be one step ahead. So he jumped into the waves.

Immediately, all the women on the boat jumped into the waves.

This tragic scene shook everyone on both sides.

When this tragic scene happened, he turned and went back to the cabin. He put two layers of heavy armor on the outside of his clothes, put them neatly together, and then he stepped up to the bow again.

He bowed deeply to the enemy's commander. He said, "Congratulations." You will do something immortal today. ”

He said, "Because of your valor and skill, you have destroyed us." I can't give you a glass of celebration wine in person. But I can give you a sentence that is more mellow than any fine wine, as a parting gift. ”

"Whenever you feel like you've succeeded and have a bright future ahead of you, think about me today," he said. ”

After he finished speaking, he turned to the soldiers of the family on the ship and said, "Men of our noble family, now is the time for us to die. Whatever each of you decides to die, I hope that future generations will not laugh at our cowardice. ”

"I personally decided not to waste any other life," he said. Let me myself be condemned to the inevitable fate of my own destruction. ”

With that, he walked out of the edge of the deck as if he had walked from his bedroom into his study, and walked towards his own death.

However, not all people are willing to walk into death so quietly.

After the commander went to sea, some of the remaining family troops chose to surrender, and some chose to flee or die, but there was one unit that insisted on fighting.

The commander of this army is the hero's own brother and a famous warrior.

He fought the final battle of resistance so perfectly that his opponents were all respected.

No one thinks that his failure was due to technology. His defeat was entirely due to Providence.

In the end, his flotilla and the enemy's flotilla came into contact on the water.

In the midst of the battle, his own ship sank, and he jumped bravely into the bow of the enemy's commanded ship.

He fought his way up from the first deck to the second floor. Keep chasing the enemy's commander!

He pursued the leader of the enemy army behind him with his sword, ignoring the countless spears and blades that stabbed him.

He spurted blood and chased after the enemy commander.

Under his pursuit, the general lost all his dignity, he was incontinent, his helmet fell off, his hair was scattered, he crawled all the way to the ground, and finally was forced to jump into the water.

And the valiant knight threw his sword at the back of the enemy.

The last thing he saw was the famous Hercules of the enemy army, who had always dreamed of fighting him face to face, swooped down on him through the crowd.

So, with a smile, he said to the Hercules, "You won't get your wish." In this world, in the end, no one can get what they want, and even if they win, they can't get it either! ”

After he finished speaking, he followed behind the main enemy general who was assassinated by him, and jumped deep into the waves.
