Today in History:

On March 11, 1161 (February 13, the 31st year of Song Shaoxing), the Southern Song Dynasty government issued the paper money "Huizi" based on copper coins.

——

The first snow of Xiao Ming Wang Longfeng in five years did not come early.

The snowflakes fluttering in the sky, fluttering quietly and slowly, covering the mountains and rivers one after another, covering the rivers and laying out the pavilions and pavilions. Looking from above, the plain in the distance is white, and the embers of the war a few days ago, broken halberds and sinking snow, gradually disappear.

At the head of the west city of Liaoyang, on the order of Mao Jujing, a team of 1,000 people arrived in the snow.

In normal times, if you are on daily alert, it is more than enough to put two hundred-man teams at one city gate; Now that the war has just ended, it makes sense to have a little more guards and horses. The commander who led the team climbed the city tower, the snow was heavy and the weather was cold, he was wrapped in a thick coat outside the armor, and he saw from a distance that there was a faint black spot in the overwhelming snow white, which seemed to be moving slowly.

"What's that?"

The centurion who handed over replied: "Pan Pingzhang's department." The adults invited them into the city for a banquet, and they said that the snow was heavy and they had to leave quickly, so they set up camp early in the morning and went back to Quang Ninh. ”

The commander nodded and said, "After the handover, you can go back." Mao Shuai had an order to restrain the brothers not to move around at will and to go back to the camp directly. When I go back, I will meet your commanders, and in the troubled season, there may be other tasks. ”

"Yes."

"The thief weather in Liaodong is really fucking cold."

The thousand households tightened their squeezes and touched the handle of the knife on their waists. He is Mao Jujing's confidant, and he knows a little about what is going to happen today. This snow is good, as soon as it snows, the officers and non-commissioned officers are afraid of the cold, so they mostly hide in the battalion, and it is inconvenient for news to come and go, so they act just right, and at the same time it is conducive to control.

He watched the soldiers who had returned to the camp line up and walked off the road. The men he brought in were nervous and busy to take over the defense and occupy key positions. Led by the captain of his own army, a team of five tens, braved the snow and stood by the noose that controlled the opening and closing of the drawbridge and the city gates.

He turned his head to look into the camp outside the city.

The barracks outside the West Gate are divided into three parts. to the north, is the Guan Duo lineage; to the south is Hu Zhong's department; The middle one is the prisoner camp, with one or two thousand yuan army prisoners. Between the three large camps, there is a road leading to them, and when I saw the northern camp, a team was transferred and drove to the prisoner camp.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of Hu Zhong and others, Mao Jujing made up a reason, saying that he would take advantage of the snow to train the prisoners, and grind their muscles and bones. Up and down the red scarf, none of them have a good impression of the Mongols, and similar means of cleaning up the Mongols often occur; Therefore, no one is suspicious and optimistic.

The commander knew that this was only the first batch of soldiers who were transferred to the prisoner camp, and that an hour later, there would be a second group, under the pretext that the prisoners were making trouble, a total of 3,000 people, through the road in the camp, approaching the southern camp. Before noon, under the pretext of a mutiny among the captives, the North Battalion would pour out of the nest and surround the South Camp.

This is outside the West Gate. The same is true outside the East Gate, South Gate, and North Gate, where there are miscellaneous garrisons, after Liu Daqing and others go to the banquet, Guan Duo's descendants will use various excuses to stage similar dramas.

"Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed."

In the blowing snow, the cold north wind swept the commander's coat. He clenched his sword and looked out into the city. The city is quiet, time is moving, the hourglass is dripping, ticking, ticking. The snow grew tighter and tighter, hovering and whistling in the wind, sparse to the pedestrian's eye on the road.

Pure, white snow, which covers the squalor and sin of the world; But soon, fresh blood will be sprinkled on it.

On Hualiu Street, outside the building. The beaded curtain show for the was drenched in sweat, and her slender hands and her cherry lips were almost numb and unconscious. From last night to now, for five or six hours in a row, she has not been idle for a moment. Gritting her silver teeth, she didn't know how many times she had scolded in her heart, and the guests invited by Xu Ren and Li Jing were all like wolves and tigers, full of tricks.

The most damned Xu Ren and Li Jing are still fueling and abusing the trouble. God is pitiful, when has she served five men at once? In the past, she had a maximum of three at the same time. It's unimaginable. Alas, fame is burdened.

However, she found a strange problem, Li Jing, a frequent visitor to the outer building and a hungry ghost in the middle of the building, only came once, and let it go easily. And that Xu Ren didn't have a single time, he didn't drink much, he looked like he had something on his mind, and while he was happy, his eyes glanced at the weapons on the wall from time to time.

The guests were playing happily, and they didn't see it; She could see it clearly. No, the two of them were whispering again.

"Is the hour coming?"

"Two quarters of an hour to go."

"Tell the brothers outside to prepare. There are a lot of pro-soldiers brought by these goods, and none of them are allowed to let go. ”

Li Jing wiped the sweat from his forehead, grinned at the few guests who were fighting side by side, and said, "The tiger whip you want,...... The wine hasn't come yet! How can this be true, Lao Tzu went to see. The old man of the dog day, the old king, don't you want to do business anymore? He swore and walked out.

The door closed, and Li Jing paused outside the door for a moment. Soon, the sound of footsteps echoed on the staircase.

Liaoyang Palace. Countless horsemen galloped to the horse, and the knights dismounted one after another, and among the people who came, there were Hu Zhong and Liu Daqing; There are also priestly descendants. Li Dunru welcomes guests outside the palace and leads the way in front. There were twenty hosts and guests, and two hundred and forty-three soldiers with them. The host and guest are invited to enter the banquet hall, and the soldiers accompany the outside of the hall.

Liu Daqing carried a horsewhip and strode to follow Li Dunru's side. The snow on the ground was thick, and there was almost no sound when you stepped on it. He wiped the snow flakes from his face, tore open his gong-like throat, and asked, "What about my lord?" ”

"Wait in the palace."

"Is your leg injury better? How did you hear that you had a head wind? Adults are not young, and their energy is limited, so they have to pay attention to maintenance! There's no need for a day, a day, what's the chance on that day? 10,000 chickens, think about it, how energetic, I won't be able to change Lao Tzu! There are some things, I think it's good to leave it to you Master Li. Liu Daqing was unscrupulous, and the officers who accompanied him laughed.

"Yes, yes. Mr. Liu was right. Humble officials often persuade adults like this. ”

Two days ago, Guan Duo promoted Liu Daqing and made him the head manager. Further up the stewardship is the marshal. Compared with 10,000 households, it is a watershed, you know, the entire Liaodong red scarf, 10,000 households into a large number of grasps; The governor and the marshal are combined, and there are not many. In the miscellaneous army, he is the only one, which can be described as a heavy responsibility.

He glanced at Li Dunru, patted him on the shoulder twice, and said, "Look, the adults will definitely not listen to you." Know why not? Your words don't carry weight, wow. ......, do you know what a portion is? He pulled off his armor, revealing the scar on his chest, nodded, and said, "This is a fucking weight!" ”

"Yes, yes. Mr. Liu is discerning and knows everything like a god. ”

"Don't give me a damn message, I don't understand!" When he was about to arrive at the banquet hall, Liu Daqing stomped his feet heavily, shook off the falling snow on his cloak, and looked up at the sky, "it grandma, the snow is really big." He turned around and said to Hu Zhong, who was silent, "Brother, in the end, Lord Pingzhang, who has read books, is different from us rough people." Snow viewing? Hey hey,......"

He let go of his gaze and looked at the scenery in the palace. The water of the lake has long been frozen and crystal clear; The small bridge is covered with snow, and the plum blossoms are in full bloom. The fragrance of pines and cypresses, accompanied by the sound of snow, lingers around the nose. He muttered, "It's good-looking, it's really good-looking." ”

The knife head has licked the blood for half his life, and he has never had the opportunity to calm down and enjoy the beautiful scenery in a good day; I have never had the opportunity to ascend to the Hall of Elegance. Here and now, facing the beautiful white scenery of the palace, he seemed to have a soft corner that was suddenly moved, "It's so beautiful." He thought.

The falling footsteps involuntarily become lighter; He noticed that in the courtyard outside the hall, a shed had been erected, and two ropes were pulled on the left and right, half a man high. He asked, "What is this?" ”

"My lord said that the soldiers brought by the generals rarely entered the palace once; Taking advantage of the good snow, there is also a banquet, which is in the courtyard. Sheds are used to shelter from snow, and ropes are used to place weapons. Li Dunru explained, "The generals should be interested, the lord has ordered, the banquet can be moved out, and the soldiers will have fun." ”

Liu Daqing, Hu Zhong and others exchanged glances.

Since the siege was lifted, Guan Duo has hosted them twice in a row. But it's all in the restaurant, and this is the first time in the palace. Before entering the palace, several people discussed, Hu Zhong insisted that the heart of defense is indispensable, there is no problem to go to the banquet, the personal soldiers must be close, and the selection is all loyal and reliable, brave and good at fighting elites.

In this regard, Liu Daqing was a little unimpressed, he didn't believe that Guan Duo dared to attack them at this time. There is Naha in the north, Pan Cheng in the west, Zhao Guo in the south, and Shuangcheng in the east.

Why did Guan Duo make him the governor? It's not for the sake of enveloping! This strengthened his confidence. But then again, there was nothing wrong with being cautious, so he didn't object to it.

Now that they have listened to Guan Duo's arrangement, several people have glanced at each other, which is very agreeable. Outside the hall, a few steps away, if there is a change, there is time to react. Hu Zhong was cautious, took a step forward, and said with a smile: "Good scenery in the snow, since it is for the snow appreciation, according to the villain, the courtyard is very good, better than the hall." Ask the others, "What do you see?" ”

Liu Daqing pursed his lips, the courtyard was cold, comparable to the hall? Hu Zhong's meaning, he knows it clearly; That's it, if you get a little cold, you will get a little cold. The other people, most of the miscellaneous cards are looking at Hu Zhongma's head and echoing one after another.

At the door of the hall, a voice came, saying: "The prince Youxue night boating, visiting friends, passing through the accommodation, building the door and returning, others asked him, he said, 'I take advantage of the prosperity, and return after the prosperity'." I had gone away and come back naturally, so why should I see that friend of mine?

"General Hu's words are quite a legacy of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, good! Haha, okay, let's move to the courtyard, drink and go home, how about it? ”

Everyone in the courtyard knelt down in an uproar and shouted in unison: "The last general (villain) and others, meet Lord Pingzhang." ”

Guan Duo reclined on the soft couch, carried by four handsome maids, accompanied by Zheng Sanbao and Fang Buzhen, and walked out of the hall lightly and skillfully. He waved it and said with a smile: "There is snow on the ground, so there is no need for a big gift." Generals, please get up quickly, and we will not distinguish between dignity and inferiority today. Appreciating the snow and tasting wine is an elegant thing, and it is divided into high and low, too smelly, too smelly. ”

Li Dunru laughed twice, and everyone got up. Guan Duo signaled slightly, Fang Buzhen turned back to the hall, beckoned the slaves and maids, and the eunuchs, moved the tables and chairs out, and placed them under the shed. The courtyard outside the hall is very large, accommodating a few hundred people, the officers sit on the right, and some of the soldiers serve tea and wine, and those who don't need it sit on the left.

There is a courtyard wall around it, Guan Duo opened the courtyard door, and when he looked out, it happened that Yushu Qionghua jumped into his eyes.

Hu Zhong chose a seat with a wide field of vision, and after Guan Duo took his seat, he sat down with everyone. Including Zheng Sanbao, together with Guan Duo's personal soldiers, as well as Liu Daqing, Hu Zhong and others' subordinates, more than 200 people took off their weapons and hung them on the rope behind them, the distance was very close, and they could pick it up with their hands.

Chatting is endless, the maids are endless, and the wine and food are on the table.

Guan Duo helped Fang Buzhen, stood up, picked up the wine glass, and said to everyone: "In the past, there were big people who slept together, and now there are people who drink under the shed. In this first glass of wine, the old man disrespected the generals; Liaoyang broke the siege, who is the first credit? He pointed to the soldiers opposite, spoke earnestly, and said, "In you! Without your bloody fight, there would be no today's iron bucket Liaoyang! The merit is high and the hard work is unrewarded. Brothers, old men, I salute you. ”

Pingzhang personally toasted, what a great honor. The soldiers didn't say anything, and a few leaders quietly probed with silver needles, and when they saw that there was nothing abnormal, they coughed, and everyone picked up their wine glasses and drank them all.

The maid poured wine, Guan Duo picked it up for the second time, smiled at Zheng Sanbao, Hu Zhong, Liu Daqing and others, and said: "The soldiers are fighting to kill in front, and if you want to talk about command, you should count the generals." The eagle spreads its wings, and does not fly without wings; Tigers in the mountains, no claws. Generals, you are the wings and minions of the old man, this second glass of wine, the old man respects you. ”

Hu Zhong and the others' wine was tried by their own guards, and everyone said that they didn't dare to drink it.

After two glasses of wine, Guan Duo raised his glass for the third time and laughed: "It's better to be happy alone, than to be happy together." The old man is no longer verbose, come and come, this third cup, everyone drinks together. Next, you are free to have fun. Especially the generals' own soldiers, don't drink too much, the snow and the road are wet, and you will have to send your generals back in a while! ”

is very considerate, if you want to kill people with alcohol, you won't be persuaded not to drink more.

Liu Daqing took the cup and shouted: "Thank you for appreciating the wine." If it weren't for the call of adults, I would not be a rough man, and I would not be able to see such a beautiful scenery in the palace. The last general, a glass to the adults. ”

Fang Buzhen said: "Adults have injuries on their legs, and they can't drink too much wine." This cup is replaced by lowly duty. ”

"That's not going to work. My lord, who respects you? Liu Daqing was unwilling, he had no other thoughts, Guan Duo promoted his official, invited him to drink three times and twice, and it was natural to return a drink.

Zheng Sanbao's face darkened, Guan Duo laughed, and said: "Manager Liu has a good temper, the old man likes people like you, he has no heart and is simple!" Pick up the que, bring the wine glass; This glass of wine, the old man should drink. "Take the wine glass in Fang Buzhen's hand," Mr. Liu's heart! ”

He threw his head back and drank.

The atmosphere in the shed is gradually lively, the wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have five flavors. Guan Duo clapped his hands, and more than twenty dancers walked out of the hall, and the musicians lined up in the corridor, snowflakes flying, playing the wind and drums. Guan Duo said: "How can there be no dancing without wine? A song of the Sixteen Heavens Demon Dance, please watch it carefully. ”

This Sixteen Heavenly Demon Dance, with great fame, comes from the Western Regions and originates from Tantra. It was originally a court dance, and it was also used in royal sacrifices. There was a ban in the imperial court that the people were not allowed to watch it. But its reputation is too great, and it spreads far and wide, and many of the rich and noble families in the south of the Central Plains have rehearsed and appreciated it privately.

The officers and soldiers at the table have heard a lot, but they have seen little. Hearing this, everyone's spirits were lifted.

In the sound of drums, see sixteen dancing girls, wearing ivory Buddha crowns and hanging many braids; Dressed in tassels, wearing a red pin gold long skirt, a gold miscellaneous jacket, cloud shoulders, crane sleeves, and brocade phoenix shoes. The lead dancer plays the music with a bell and pestle, and the others sing the golden scriptures, each holding the instrument of the gabalaban, which is the skull of a man.

There are also eleven palace maids, wearing white transparent silk clothes, white ribbons tied on their heads, mallet buns, Tang hats, and narrow shirts. Holding the dragon flute, head pipe, small drum, zheng, pipa, sheng, huqin, castanets, clapper and other musical instruments, make all kinds of sultry movements, and dance with them.

The sixteen people who are dancing, in groups of eight, are divided into two rows, or raise their hands or feet, forming a pattern of their own.

In the snow, they are solemn treasures for the Buddha and Bodhisattva, and they make a sultry and fragrant dance. When singing, the clean sound is beautiful; Sideways, charming. The meaning of this Heavenly Demon Dance was originally a bodhisattva resisting the temptation of the heavenly demons, but in the eyes of ordinary people, who would delve into its meaning?

Liu Daqing has three points of alcohol, everyone is drunk if the wine is not drunk, and everyone is obsessed with the color if he is not charming.

In his eyes, all he saw was the plain and dignified and solemn Guanyin Bodhisattva, smiling and smiling, walking off the altar and performing a peerless dance for them. is the so-called: bell tongue flick, ring Pei Shanshan. There is a saying: When the sixteen heavenly demons dance, the treasure makeup Yingluo fights the waist. As far as there are benevolents in China, I dare not ask who it is.

This song should only be in the sky, how many times can I hear it in the world! For a while, everyone was fascinated.

Guan Duo was silent, and he didn't know when he left the shed. Fang Buzhen's hands and feet were weak, and he knocked over the tea bowl in front of him. Hu Zhong woke up suddenly, and he got up according to the table. Li Dunru took two steps back, dropped the wine glass in his hand, and made a crisp sound. Zheng Sanbao jumped forward, overturned the case, dishes, and wine, and sprinkled everyone all over his body. People who are intoxicated by the dance are like waking up from a dream.

"What for?"

"What are you doing?"

"Where's Heizhang-sama?"

The heavenly demon dances and the snow returns to the wind, and the new wine heats people. Zheng Sanbao shouted violently, picked up an ivory chopstick, and inserted it into a person's eye. The man screamed and screamed in pain, tumbling on the snow, and blood blooming like a flower. The flowers bloom and close, and the clouds rise silently. There are three million jade dragons in the sky, and the murderous scales are cold.

A gust of wind whipped up countless snow chips.

"Close the door!"

The courtyard gate is closed, the hall gate is closed, and the palace gate is closed.

"Kill!"

Figures at the head of the wall, figures under the walls. Pressed against the wall, countless armor-piercing soldiers turned over the snow-covered planks and jumped out of the pit.

"Where's the knife?"

"Where's the weapon?"

"Where is the sword?"

Officers and pro-soldiers were in a mess. The rope of the hanging weapon, someone stretched it at both ends, and suddenly, it rose several feet, and it was out of reach. They were in a state of panic and ambushed in front of them. One after another, some people were stabbed and fell to the ground. Those who reacted quickly abandoned their weapons, picked up tables and chairs, and the sound of fighting pierced the snowy sky.

"Protect the General! Protect the General! ”

Liu Daqing only came to a trance at this time. He cursed angrily: "Guan Duo, you shit! A spear stabbed him, and he dodged it, grabbed the handle of the gun, grabbed the opponent's neck, and twisted it with his backhand, crushing the soldier's throat. Carrying a spear, he jumped on the desk: "Move the table!" Knock open the courtyard door! ”

If you have weapons in hand, with the more than 200 personal soldiers they brought, not to mention the palace, it is enough to kill Liaoyang City. Unexpectedly, Guan Duo had such a trick.

There were cold arrows on the wall, and from time to time someone was hit by an arrow. The dancers and musicians, mingled in the shadow of the sword and sword, curled up and trembled, and I don't know who kicked the small drum that fell to the ground, and the drum beat was short. Zheng Sanbao shouted excitedly: "Wait for you to eat military salaries, abuse good families, and kill on the orders of the adults!" Regardless of people, the retinue of the pro-soldiers, those who surrender will not die. ”

"Bang the door!"

There is something blocking the courtyard outside, and the courtyard door cannot be opened. Hu Zhong made a decision immediately, Liu Daqing led people to cover, and quickly organized twenty or thirty people, carrying the pillars and tables, and slammed the hall door instead.

The red blood stained the snow red. The rhododendrons in spring bloom in the cold winter; The lazy begonias, under the red candles of high fever, sleep leisurely. Cold swords, cold swords, heavily armed ambush soldiers, heartily slaughtered unarmed visitors.

"Block! Damn it, stop it for Lao Tzu! ”

Liu Daqing was fierce and fierce, and his imminent death stimulated his potential, and he and more than a dozen elite soldiers desperately blocked the outside of Hu Zhong and the others, giving them time to hit the door of the hall. Hu Zhong was sweating profusely, the pillars were too rough, his hands were bloody, he gritted his teeth, and refused to stop. He stared at the door in front of him, backing and running, helping and slamming.

Once, again, again.

His son died at the hands of Guan Duo, could he have the same fate? What a Guan Duo, Guan Duo! Guan Duo! In such a critical situation, those who dare to do this risky move do not dare to do it unless they have great courage. Hu Zhong regretted it and underestimated him. Hu Zhong was unwilling, he bowed his head respectfully, for the sake of not dying here; He wants revenge, avenging his son.

Open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend.

Liu Daqing was hit by three arrows, one of which was shot by a strong bow, which penetrated deep into the armor and pierced the shoulder blade. His spear was blocked, barely supported, and with every step, blood dripped down. There were too many ambushes, and he couldn't turn back, so he hoarsely asked, "Hasn't the door opened yet?" I can't stand it! ”

There was a loud bang, and the door of the hall opened.

"The old man is locked in the hall, and he will not wait in it. There must be another passage in the hall, Lao Liu, follow me. Hu Zhong threw down the pillar and said.

"As soon as Lao Tzu leaves, who will give you the dog's day to block the pursuers? Dog's day, hit three arrows, you can't go far, you go quickly! Escaped one, it's one! ”

Hu Zhong glanced at Liu Daqing, didn't say a word, and entered the hall. The sound of fighting, screaming, endless; Liu Daqing's voice was hoarse, and he was shouting: "Hu Zhong of the dog day, don't forget to avenge Lao Tzu!" Guan Duo is a dog thief, your grandma! It doesn't matter if you kill Lao Tzu, twenty years later, another hero. To tell you the truth, Lao Tzu voted for Xiao Deng earlier, you wait and see how Xiao Deng avenges us. ”

The lobby was deep, and his voice grew quieter. Hu Zhong ran to the end, knocked on the window, and jumped out.
