Chapter 443: The Battle of Pingyin (2)

Qin Jinggong sensed Shi Ying's hatred for the Luan clan through dialogue, and intuitively concluded that the person who destroyed the Luan clan was Shi Ying. Qin Jinggong said in his heart: "Shi Ying can also be a doctor if he stays in Qin State, why don't you send him back to Jin State to fulfill his destruction of a Wang clan!" ”

Qin Jinggong then wrote a letter to Jin Mourning Gong. The letter reads: "Heaven sent disaster to Qin and Jin, causing war between the two countries. The Jin State has an innocent minister, Fan Ying, who came to our country because of a discord with your doctor. Although the widow never succumbs to force, he still wants to make peace with your country, so let Fan Ying become the envoy of friendship between the two countries! This is also the original intention of God to send Fan Ying to the widow after the war. ”

Reconciliation with the Qin was also a major benefit for the Jin state, and the Jin people's use of several national armies did not achieve the effect, but was achieved by an exile who was expelled for personal vendetta.

Jin Mourning Gong happily accepted the proposal of the Qin people, and he took this opportunity to summon the old man and son-in-law together, and persuaded the two to eliminate the old grudge and reconcile. No matter how crazy Luan Huang was, he didn't dare to openly argue with the Duke of Jin Mourning, so he had to agree with a black face and reluctantly, so Shi Ying returned to the Jin Kingdom after spending half a year in exile.

The second is Luan Huang's bizarre death, which occurred after he and Luan Qi "committed domestic violence against each other".

Shortly after the Battle of Zhanhan, Luan Huang went to Fengyi to deal with a family affair, but he suddenly disappeared from the world and disappeared without a trace. It wasn't until a month later that his dismantled and pewing-on remains and the bodies of several guards were found in a remote area, while the rest of the attachΓ© was nowhere to be found. The official result was a family slave riot; But a fool would believe this result!

After Luan's death, Luan Ying was appointed as a secretary and served as a subordinate military assistant.

The three armies of the Jin State have been assembled, and the date of the expedition has been set. Late at night three days before his departure, BOC was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly awakened by a terrifying sound like someone slamming rhythmically on the floor, and getting closer and closer, stomping with a dying groan of pain and resentment.

The Bank of China sat up straight, and saw that the door was smashed to pieces, and debris was scattered all over the ground. A white-clad ghost rushed directly to him, stretched out his dry black limbs to clamp his arm, and a familiar voice that could only be heard in hell came from his mouth: "Zhongxingyan! What did the widow owe to you that made you collude with Luan Shu to murder the widow? He gave me a nickname of 'awesome'. As you wish, I've turned into a ghost. The widow can't wait to put you to death, but he will still give you a chance to plead, the widow has already made an accusation against you from God, so hurry up and follow me to heaven for judgment! ”

Zhong Xingyan could no longer control his movements, and involuntarily followed the ghost of Jin Ligong to ascend to the nine heavens, entering a magnificent and boundless palace shrouded in colorful golden light in the clouds. When he entered the door, he saw the corpses of Luan Shu and Cheng Hua in different places, and he couldn't help but be terrified.

The two sides came to the foot of a staircase that stretched up into the mist, with no end in sight. The two sides sat down opposite each other, and Jin Li Gong spoke first to the center of the endless steps. After he finished speaking, the invisible Emperor asked Zhongxingyan to reply. To tell the truth, Jin Ligong died very unjustly, not only did he not mean to kill Luan Shu and Zhongxingyan, but instead rescued the two from Xu Tong's sword. The actions taken by the two against Jin Ligong were purely "hypothetical defense".

Zhongxing Yan couldn't answer, and the Emperor of Heaven said, "Yan! Guilty! Jin Ligong then pulled out a huge Ge out of nowhere, and with a fierce wave, he cut off his head.

In front of Zhongxingyan's head fell, his body was still kneeling on the ground, his hands kept groping on the ground; Finally touching his own head, he pressed his head against the broken neck and held it with both hands towards the door. As he walked, he "turned his head" to take a look, only to see a wizard named "Gao" in Terrier Yang City passing by him.

BOC woke up suddenly and found that he had just had a demon dream.

In the afternoon of the next day, Zhongxingyan met Wu Gao on the road. He told Wu Gao about the contents of the demon dream and asked him about the signs of the demon dream.

Wu Gao said, "I had the same dream last night, that's why I came to see the Master. Master will definitely die this year, but if you have something important in the East, you can fulfill your wish before you die. ”

"I have always believed that merit is not as good as that of the first doctor, so I have never given up looking for opportunities to build up my career. Now that the time has finally come, I am willing to trade ten years of life for the victory of the crusade against the Qi State. If it is true as you say, I would like to thank Heaven for finally making my life's wish come true before I die! ”

In late September, the Duke of Jinping of Jin drove his own expedition, the Jin army was raised, and the six kings were exhausted. The procession also set off for the predetermined location. The Jin army prepared to cross the Yellow River east at the Jianjin Ferry. Before crossing the river, the Zhongxingyan held a ceremony to worship the river god, and the Jin people built an earthen platform on the bank. Standing on the platform, Zhongxingyan raised two pieces of jade jue decorated with red ribbons with both hands, and prayed to the Yellow River: "Qi Huan relied on the natural danger of Qi and 100,000 male soldiers, abandoned friends, betrayed alliances, and abused the gods. Juchen Biao (the name of the Duke of Jinping) will lead the princes to crusade against him, and Yan will go out as the ruling leader. If I can achieve victory and not disgrace the river god, I will not dare to cross the river again, and ask the gods to take it! After speaking, he sank the two pieces of jade jue into the Yellow River and ordered to board a boat to cross the river.

The soldiers knew that Zhongxingyan would not cross the Yellow River again alive, and the whole army continued to march eastward in a tragic atmosphere. In the winter of October, the leaders of the coalition gathered in Luji (the section of the country where the water flows through Lu) to revisit the alliance of bromine and Liang. After the meeting, the eleven-nation alliance crossed east to Jishui and marched towards Qi.

After flowing out of Onozawa (a lake in the southwest of present-day Dongping Lake), Guji Water meandered northeast along the eastern foot of the Taishan Mountains, forming a narrow natural dangerous road between Jishui and Mount Tai (but the terrain around Pingyin was relatively flat and wide); Pingyin is located on the east bank of Jishui and is an important town on the southwest border of Qi State.

After the death of Duke Huan of Qi, the people of Qi began to build the Great Wall of Qi. The main trunk of the Great Wall of Qi is built in the valley of Mount Tai and Yimeng Mountain, it starts from Pingyin in the west, passes through Feicheng, Jinan, Laiwu, Zibo, Linqu, Yishui, Anqiu, Juxian, Wulian County to Jiaozhou into the sea, the whole length is more than 1200 miles. The entire project was not completed until the reign of King Xuan of the Warring States Period, but the western section of the Great Wall had already been completed by this time. It is speculated that the purpose of the Qi people to build the Great Wall was not only to defend against the invasion of the southern enemy from the north, but also to divide the Dongyi country that did not belong to them to the north of the city and draw the ground as a prison.

Along the Great Wall, there were fortresses and city gates, and troops were stationed in the fortresses, and a large amount of grain and grass were hoarded. The city gate of the Great Wall in Pingyin is called "Fangmen", and the allied forces crossed the water in the east, and the first stage of fierce fighting between the enemy and us was carried out around the Fangmen.
