The wheel of history is rolling forward unstoppably, and it has not changed substantially because of Chu Tianya's breaking through the sky. The inevitable war between the Great Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom broke out as scheduled.

The Great Song Dynasty had a highly developed civilization and economy, as well as military capabilities that could not be matched, just like a weak scholar who was swaggering through the market with jade. On the contrary, the Jin country is a grass for ten years, there is not much cultural heritage, and the materials are very poor, but it retains the most primitive barbarism and fierceness of human beings, they admire and covet the profound culture and rich land of the Central Plains - according to their logic, if it is a good thing that they want, then go and grab it!

This is a war of aggression with a very clear purpose, and there is no need for any special pretext. When the snow fell and the sky was freezing, the two most powerful generals of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang, set out from Yunzhong and Pingzhou respectively to attack Taiyuan and Yanshan Mansion in the Great Song Dynasty.

Just when Chu Tianya saw Xiao Linglong for the first time wearing the Yaksha armor that looked like a rose of the flames, Wanyan Zongwang, who had graduated from Pingzhou, had already hit the territory of Yanshan Mansion, which Tong Guan had just spent a huge amount of money to "recover", and severely defeated the Song army in the Baihe area. Guo Yaoshi, the general of the Liao State who had just surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty, once again led the Changsheng Army, the only elite division of the Great Song Dynasty in Hebei, to surrender to the Jurchens before the battle, and Yanshan Mansion fell violently.

At the same time, Wanyan Zonghan in the south of Izumo tried his hand like a bamboo, and in just two days, he cleared Shuozhou and Daizhou, which were adjacent to Yunzhong in front of Taiyuan-the so-called "purge" is to capture, plunder, and slaughter the city!

Everywhere you go, there are no chickens and dogs!

The iron hooves of Wanyan Zonghan and the 60,000 Jin cavalry under his command had already broken through the tranquility of the winter in Hedong, trampling on a piece of corpse blood and white bones, and the soldiers pointed directly at Taiyuan City. He had issued a strict decree that the army would carry out a policy of "purging" wherever it went---avenge-avenge the unjust death of the envoy of the Jin Kingdom, Yelu Yujian!

Under the wolf-headed banner of the Jin Kingdom, two banners were also unfurled, and the book was written-

"Stepping on the east of the river to take revenge"

"Bloody Taiyuan captures Wang Yu alive"

In front of tens of thousands of Shengjie soldiers, Wang Yu beheaded the head of Yelu Yujian, the "murderer of Tong Taishi", and the soldiers and civilians of Taiyuan all applauded and hated the same enemy. As a result, the preconceived idea made the soldiers and civilians of the Great Song Dynasty recognize the nature of this war, that is, the invasion of the Jin Kingdom!

Wanyan Zonghan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, the war is about the division is famous, and he also used the topic to claim that the southern country framed and killed the generals and envoys he sent, so he came to seek revenge in the name of this.

The two sides insist on their own words, but in fact, the essence is a war of aggression and counter-aggression. As for what kind of excuse is used, it is really only a superficial effort and does not matter. The fuse of the historical Battle of Song and Jin was the Pingzhou Zhang Jue Incident; As a result, many people have identified Zhang Jue as the culprit of this war, which is not necessarily too absurd and ridiculous, just like a very expensive construction project collapsed, but one or two "temporary workers" were blamed.

This war is inevitable. In Chu Tianya's words, even if the Great Song Dynasty is really impeccable, the Jurchens can find excuses in their own pockets. For example, one day, Yan Zonghan woke up from sleep and said, I love Ji's thrush bird flew to the south, and I will lead an army of 100,000 to find the bird! -- In that case, perhaps there will be one more "bloody case caused by a thrush" in history.

……

The catastrophe of the war is like a rolling torrent, which is surging towards Taiyuan unscrupulously.

The black clouds overwhelm the city and want to urge, the heavens and the earth are moved, and the mountains and rivers are discolored.

However, in a small wooden house in Taiyuan City, there is a warm and warm spring.

Xiao Linglong covered her face with her hands, staring at the chessboard on the table with her eyebrows and eyebrows, her eyes unblinking.

Chu Tianya, who was sitting opposite her, was carrying a cup of tea, and he was smiling with a smile in his hand.

Xiao Ai, who was sitting at the table, looked at Xiao Linglong on the left and Chu Tianya on the right, snickering from time to time, flexibly threading needles and threads in his hands, and sewing a pair of gloves for Xiao Linglong.

"Admit defeat, Lord Xiao." Chu Tianya couldn't help but laugh and said, "I didn't expect that there are stinky chess baskets in the world that are even more stinky than me!" ”

"Phew! I've only been learning for less than half an hour, how can I get past you? Xiao Linglong rolled her eyes very unladylikely, "Do you dare to officially decide the winner in the next game with me, instead of playing this simple and boring backgammon?" ”

"I'm afraid that I won't have enough time, and I'll have to go back to the barracks if I can't finish a big game of chess." Chu Tianya said with a smile, "Actually, the simpler things are often the more unique essence of his life. Didn't Uncle He also say that there is no strongest martial art, only stronger martial arts. If you can practice the simplest set of moves to perfection, you are a master. Back to basics, maybe it's really a more profound realm than dazzling? ”

Xiao Linglong shook her head with a smile and a smile, "With your mouth, that is the only way to practice to perfection, and the dead can be said to be alive." Isn't it just a game of chess, and you can actually pull out so many big truths? ”

"It's a good way, it's a very good way. The Tao is everywhere and everywhere. Chu Tianya said with a smile, "Life is like chess, using soldiers is like learning, dealing with the world is like cultivating truth, and touching the class is bypass!" ”

"What a mess!" Xiao Ai and Xiao Linglong both laughed dumbly.

Chu Tianya grabbed the chess pieces on the chessboard with a smile, divided them into black and white and put them in the chess basket, and said with a smile: "I have experienced a lot of things recently, and I have a deep understanding. Especially Wang Yu, he inspired me a lot. Just when most people are looking at the outcome of this war in front of them and entangled in the life and death of tomorrow, Wang Yu is thinking about the shortcomings and ways out of the Great Song Dynasty and the Chinese nation. Do you know, he actually persuaded me to be a grass king in troubled times. ”

"Oh?" Xiao Linglong was obviously a little surprised, "Wouldn't it?" With his personality, he would take the initiative to persuade his students to fall into the grass? ”

"yes, I was surprised at first!" Chu Tianya said, "But then I thought about it, he was really a great person. It's me, and I don't have as much of a big mind as him. ”

"I believe it." The corners of Xiao Linglong's two mouths were slightly raised slightly, revealing a very treacherous and ambiguous intoxicated smile, and said, "You are an extremely stingy man!" ”

"Huh? Am I stingy? Chu Tianya couldn't help but be stunned, "This is really the first time I've heard of it!" ”

Xiao Ai covered his mouth and laughed weirdly.

"Hey, Xiao Ai, what are you laughing at?" Chu Tianya was extremely puzzled, "What kind of dumb riddle are you two playing?" ”

"What dumb riddle? Ming people don't do dark things, I'm just saying that you are stingy. Xiao Linglong said with a smile.

Chu Tianya was confused, looking at the two little women left and right in confusion, but there was a stirring in his heart: Oh, Xiao Linglong is probably saying that I am careful and have eaten the vinegar that Yelu Yu saw!

"Inexplicable!" Chu Tianya himself laughed. This kind of thing cannot be argued, otherwise the more you argue, the more stingy it will be.

At this moment, He Bolai knocked on the door, "Is the young master free?" I have something to discuss with you, just for a moment. ”

"Yes." Chu Tianya went out, and Uncle He invited him to his room.

"Young master, the old man is finally done, and now I'll leave it to you." He Bo stuffed a wad of oiled paper into Chu Tianya's hand.

"What is it?" Chu Tianya opened the oiled paper bag curiously, and saw a hand-copied book bound by himself, with four words on the cover - "Chu Family Gun Spectrum"!

Surprised, Chu Tianya hurriedly opened and looked at a few pages, which contained various hand-drawn gun practice charts and detailed explanations, which were indeed the keys and methods for practicing marksmanship!

"It took a lot of the old man's time!" He Bo said with a smile, "Marksmanship is the most practiced, and the old man is worried that he will not be able to teach the full set of marksmanship to the young master and the county lord in his lifetime, so that you can pass it on." Therefore, it was written into pictures and mantras, so that you can also have a certificate for practicing marksmanship in the future. Coupled with the fact that the war is about to start, no one can guarantee whether he will be alive tomorrow, and the old man is no exception. Even if we don't have any strengths and weaknesses, or we are separated from each other in the war, this marksmanship may be lost. Therefore, in order to be sure, it is safest to do so. ”

Chu Tianya took a deep breath and nodded gratefully, "Uncle He, you have worked so hard to help me like this, I don't even know how to thank you." ”

"If the young master can live for a few more decades, practice his skills, do a few more happy things, and then marry the county lord Xiao and give birth to a few big fat boys, it will be the greatest reward for the old man." He Bo smiled and said, "The old man is a little person who only knows the city council, and he can't talk about many big truths of 'the great man of chivalry for the country and the people'. In my opinion, the most important thing in this life is to be happy. If this doesn't work, then don't dare, always look forward and backward, be cautious everywhere, so that life is better than death! ”

"Haha!" Chu Tianya laughed, "Uncle He, if I do anything out of the ordinary in the future, you will teach you badly!" ”

"Hey, hey!" He Bo also smiled and said, "The world is a vanity fair with many rules. People live a lifetime, either they are bound by the rules, or they are beyond the rules and then make rules to bind others. There are two kinds of people, the former is all living beings, and the latter is one in ten thousand. If you want to live happily - you have to do the latter! ”

"Uncle He, it seems that you have returned to the basics of wisdom and foolishness." Chu Tianya nodded and smiled, "You're right, there are actually only two kinds of people in this world, one is the one who makes the rules, and the other is the one who is bound by the rules. Often, the latter is the most criticized, but the most desirable. ”

"Hey, it's not!" He Bo said with a smile, "Those who point to the faint monarchs and mediocre ministers and corrupt officials and scold the most are the ones they want to replace the most." The old man may not be able to see what kind of height the young master will be able to stand at in the future. But the old man believes that the young master is definitely not a thing in the pool, and he will become a great weapon one day! ”

"Present your auspicious words!" In front of Uncle He, Chu Tianya didn't have to pretend or hide it, and said with a smile, "If I Chu Tianya can really achieve something one day, more than half of it will be due to Uncle He's full compensation and help today!" ”

He Bo nodded, his smile was quite gratifying, and he said, "Young Master, the Jurchens are coming soon." You are about to experience for yourself the horrors of war. Listen to my advice, righteousness is important, but the stupidest thing in the world is righteousness - if you have the opportunity, you will take Lord Xiao away! Nothing is more precious than life! Whatever is lost, you can get it back, but you can't! ”

Almost as soon as Uncle He's words fell, the gate outside the courtyard was beaten by a hurried horn, and a voice shouted: "Taibao, the king is in a hurry!" ”

Chu Tianya's heart froze, and he hurriedly answered the door in person, and when he saw that it was Liu Daosha, he asked, "Why is it so urgent and panicked?" ”

Liu Scar's expression was flustered, his voice trembled a little, and he said in a trembling voice: "I just received a report from outside the city that after the Jurchen army broke through the two states of the Shuo Dynasty, the troops were suddenly divided into three routes, and the main force went all the way to Taiyuan and all the way to block the passage between Taihang and Taiyuan; On the other hand, he went directly to Tianlong Mountain, afraid that he was going to end the lair of the Xishan Righteous Army-Qingyun Castle! ”
