How to fight? Salhu is known as a fierce general, and the martial arts are gathered, but how can he fight, the whole army is annihilated, the battle is killed, and the suicide is self-inflicted, and the Liaozhen Iron Cavalry is known as the first in the world, but how about it, there has been no victory since the start of the fight.

Sun Chengzong, Xiong Tingbi, and Wang Zaijin are all famous ministers who know the soldiers, and they are not stupid people who talk about soldiers on paper, and they never rush to do things, but the best thing is to hold each other, and they have completely collapsed several times.

There are even people who say that "the Jurchens are not satisfied with ten thousand, and they are invincible", which made people all over the world think that this is between the Ming Dynasty and the Jianzhou Jurchens, but in fact it is a rhetoric between the late Northern Song Dynasty and the Jin State.

Being in the Ministry of War, every day is in contact with these military wars, as an officer of the Ministry of War, he can naturally feel that helplessness and powerlessness, Daming has almost tried all methods, but there is no effect, can only delay the coming of failure, and wait for the noose to tighten.

I don't know why, when everyone in the military department discussed, there was always a feeling that if the Ming army started a war against the Jianzhou Jurchens, the Zhao army would not take advantage of the situation, so everyone considered transferring the soldiers and horses from the three sides of Shaanxi to Liaodong, but Lin Dan Khan of Chahar was entrenched in the Guihua City north of Jin and Shaanxi, and the original Tumut Department was waiting for an opportunity to advance eastward in the west of Hetao and take out the border troops on the three sides of Shaanxi, so would the Mongolian cavalry take advantage of the situation to move south and eastward and repeat the past invasions, At that time, it was a critical situation of entering the tiger at the front door and the wolf at the back door, and it was even more helpless.

In such helplessness, there are also people who are secretly ruthless, how can you Zhao Jiajun plot this world, you take the world, but you also have to face tigers and wolves like Jianzhou Jurchen and Steppe Mongolia, I am afraid that the benefits you have not become hot yet, and you will be snatched away directly, so it is okay, this is the retribution of the thief.

Today, I saw the head, saw these armor weapons, from disbelief to belief, and then felt shocked, in this Beijing view of the heads of people, what I saw was not the head of a Jurchen soldier, but the head of the Ming Empire, the head of the Zhu family, at this time, everyone can finally confirm one thing, the number of Ming Qi has been exhausted.

The Jianzhou Jurchens, who were overwhelmed by the power of the Ming Dynasty and had nothing to do with millions of soldiers and horses, were easily defeated by the Zhao army in Xuzhou, and it was such a big victory.

If the Jianzhou Jurchen is strong, then how strong is the Zhao family's army, how weak is the Ming Dynasty, no matter what sages and sages are righteous, and no matter what the righteous people are, they can't compare to such a huge difference in strength.

It turns out that the general trend is like this, and there is really no way to reverse it, so what should I choose next, whether to be loyal and martyred for this hopeless court, or to defect to the Zhao family's army?

************

It's only autumn, and it's getting cold too quickly. ”

Looking at the withered yellow grass in the court, Wei Zhongxian, who was once powerful, sighed.

In recent years, the weather has been getting colder and colder every year, and this year is especially strange, there is no heat in summer, and now it is only early September, and it is already a cool breeze, and I have to thicken my clothes.

Father-in-law Wei came from the Wanli period, and in his early years, he was crawling and rolling among the people, so he naturally remembered the difference between the previous years and the present. When he was a child, although it was not smooth weather, at least the four seasons were sometimes. But since then, it seems to be getting colder and colder every year.

This kind of autumn wind is bleak, the grass and trees are yellow, if it is for the literati, there is still a bit of elegance, you can be sad in autumn, and you can make many famous articles; However, in the view of Wei Zhongxian, who was born as a small farmer and was accustomed to farm work in his early years, this may indicate the coming of a major drought.

The colder and drier the weather, how should the people of this world deal with themselves?

The question flashed through his mind.

Then he himself smiled bitterly and shook his head, now that he himself was in danger, what was the use of thinking about it?

The cool breeze blew on his face, making his face cold, but now his heart was even colder.

Once he was favored by the Son of Heaven, and the military officials in the court and the central government were all deeply jealous, what kind of career was Xuanhe? However, in the blink of an eye, he was defeated, and he was already like withered grass in the wind, and his life was on the verge of death.

The first emperor died and the new emperor ascended the throne, once a son of heaven and a courtier, glory and wealth became empty in a blink of an eye, he had heard a lot of such a story, and he sighed and sighed, but he didn't expect it to come to his head so soon.

The favored eunuch suddenly lost power, the previous dynasty was not without precedent, Wang Zhen, Liu Jin, Feng Bao and other predecessors have their own ends, but I don't know what kind of fate my fate is?

It's best to be like Feng Bao, send Nanjing, and then end up depressed.

However, judging from the new emperor's perception of himself, I am afraid that even if he wants to ask for a depressed end, he will not be able to get it......

It's strange to say, even though he knew that he might face death, Wei Zhongxian didn't have any fear in his heart, he just felt tired.

Yes, I have been with the first emperor to govern the world for so long, and I am tired enough, and it is not a relief to hand it over to others...... Wei Zhongxian looked at the guards on the edge of the courtyard and thought to himself.

Since the new emperor ascended the throne, Cao Huachun, Wang Chengen and others have become the most favored eunuchs, and he has naturally become a thorn in the side of these upstarts. His guards had all been replaced, and the rest had already taken refuge in them, and if they did, they would probably be able to put themselves to death.

Just as Wei Zhongxian was still thinking, this group of guards suddenly made a commotion, and then a group of people walked towards him.

How? Is it going to be done so soon? Wei Zhongxian was taken aback, but he didn't say anything, and he didn't have the desire to resist.

What should come will come, what is the difference between dying early and dying late.

However, to his surprise, this group of people did not come to solve him.

"Elder Yang Ge?" Looking at Yang Lian with a serious face in front of him, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but be a little curious.

If someone else came, he would guess that the other party would be here to gloat, taking advantage of his downfall to scold a few words, and he could vent his anger and fight for fame, but with Yang Lian's current status, he didn't need to do this.

Yang Lian's expression was not quite right, his brows were slightly furrowed, his eyes were full of blood, he couldn't see much anger, but he was full of exhaustion and anxiety, and he didn't seem to be much better than his mental state.

After seeing Wei Zhongxian, Yang Lian didn't speak, just looked at Wei Zhongxian, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"I don't know what happened when Elder Yang Ge came?" After being silent for a long time, seeing that Yang Lian still didn't speak, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but ask.

Although he called him elder, Wei Zhongxian's tone did not have much awe, and he still held the frame when he was in power, and did not turn the corner. Although he knew that his life was hanging in the hands of people now, he refused to bow his head and say mercy to the other party.

He didn't even invite Yang Lian to the hall to talk about it, anyway, this is not his home now, just wait for him to give orders.

However, Yang Lian didn't bother with him so much, he looked at Wei Zhongxian for a while, and finally sank his head and sighed.

"Hey...... Father-in-law Wei, at this time, let's stop talking about the view of the portal. Now I have something to ask for Gonggong Yi......"

"Ge Lao said badly, our family is now a failure, how can we still be qualified to talk to Ge Lao about what I think?" Wei Zhongxian thought he was mocking, so his face hardened. "If you want to dispose of our family, just send it down!"

"Grandpa Wei, I'm not here to ridicule you. If I want to ridicule you, are I afraid that my men will not be able to find anyone? Yang Lian knew that he had misunderstood himself, so he had to smile bitterly. Now that the state affairs have come to this field, I don't have the heart to fight any more verbal battles. ”

After hearing his words, Wei Zhongxian's excitement gradually calmed down.

That's right, judging from his understanding of Yang Lian, he is indeed not such a person. Yang Lian can be said to be old-fashioned or stubborn, but at least he is one of the few people in the Donglin Party who has some backbone.

After he calmed down, Yang Lian still didn't speak, but turned his gaze to the courtyard as well.

The withered yellow withered grass and the cold wind scurrying everywhere aroused the same feeling in his heart as Wei Zhongxian just now. Since he has been in power in the imperial court recently, the bad news has come one after another, and this feeling has become particularly strong.

"Father-in-law Wei, regarding your disposition, the imperial court has already discussed." Looking at the lanterns swaying in the cold wind, Yang Lian said with a little difficulty.

Wei Zhongxian's heart jumped suddenly, but he soon returned to that calm calm.

"Oh? I don't know what the imperial court plans to do with our family? ”

"Imperial Court ...... The imperial court decided...... Assign you to Fengyang for placement. ”

Distribute Fengyang!

Wei Zhongxian gasped in his heart.

Fengyang is where the temple is located, as long as someone in the clan commits an unforgivable sin, he will be sent to Fengyang high wall to confine, before when he was in charge of the country, he naturally knew what it was like.

What's more, since the imperial court made peace with Zhao Jin, the surrounding area of Fengyang has already been ceded to Zhao Jin, which is a dead place! If you want to enter Fengyang, no matter what route you take, you must pass through Zhao Jin's territory, that Zhao Jin is a well-known demon king of the mixed world, with his own grudge against Zhao Jin, can he still survive if he falls into the hands of Zhao Jin?

In an instant, he was a little spinning, and he couldn't even stand on his feet.

However, when he saw the little pity in Yang Lian's eyes, a sudden arrogance rose in his heart and forcibly suppressed his fear.

Yes, he is going to die anyway, what is the difference between dying in the hands of the emperor and dying in the hands of Zhao Jin?

It's just that...... thinks that he is wise, but if he wants to kill someone, he has to borrow Zhao Jin's knife? A sneer suddenly crossed his mind, and he felt a little disdain for the young man.
