King Ming led the army to Fuhuaili, which is only a hundred miles away from Chang'an. Spread the text to Sanfu, Qin Chuan was shocked, and Sanfu Haojie killed more than one hundred people to respond to the order, where there were more than 100 walls, and 100,000 people. Shi Bao was terrified and sent Ma Qiu to lead the army into Fengcheng.

--------- Excerpt from the Introduction

Just after the hour, a fast horse rushed into the Wude Gate of Chang'an, because the Lingzi flag on his back and the bronze talisman held high in his hand were in effect, the defenders at the city gate did not dare to stop, let him gallop into the city gate, and galloped on the official road in the street.

Before coming to the Leping Palace, the messenger panted and turned over and dismounted, and stumbled and walked just two steps when he was caught by the two palace guards who met him.

"There is an emergency military report! Juxian County Emergency Military Report! The messenger gasped as he took out a cloth from his bosom, and then handed it to the guard beside him tremblingly, and as soon as he handed it over, his feet suddenly went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.

The guards who received the battle report did not dare to slack off, and immediately walked into the palace with a cloth silk and presented it to Shi Bao, who was worried.

At this time, Shi Bao was depressed, how could there be so many people in the land of Sanfu in Guanzhong. In order to help the world, can't you let the people of Guanzhong sacrifice a little? As if overnight, the rebels were sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. After receiving urgent reports from the county guards such as Jingzhaoyin, Fufeng County, and Fengyi County, Shi Bao thought that those officials were bluffing in order to prevent him from leading the army out of Kanto.

But the news that came later finally made Shi Bao realize the seriousness of the matter. Huangqiu and Chiyang in Fufeng County, Ducheng, Xinfeng and Acheng in Jingzhao County, Ju County in Shiping County, Xiatai and Chongquan in Fengyi County were all captured by the rebels, and Fengyi County was even more serious, even the county governance Linjin City was captured, and the county guard died at the hands of the rebels.

Shi Bao panicked now, and while sending Ma Qiu, Liu Xiuli and others to lead troops to Feng Yi, Jingzhao and other places to quell the rebellion, he panicked and asked Yecheng for help. Shi Bao was not a great talent for governing the country in the first place, and the Sanfu Rebellion suddenly surged, which had already frightened the prince of Leping, who was nothing to worry about. He knew that he only had 40,000 horses in his hands, and the Sanfu Rebellion had spread to several counties, and it was said that there were hundreds of thousands of people, so how could he feel at ease? So despite the dissuasion of Zuo Luo and Ma Qiu, he insisted on sending a letter to Yecheng for help. In his mind, going to Yecheng to compete for the throne is just an idea, and it has not yet become a fact, so Shi Bao is not worried that Yecheng will know his little abacus, nor is he worried that Yecheng will find trouble for himself. If you have difficulties, you still have to find an organization.

"Lord Wang! Juxian urgent! The chamberlain carefully presented a piece of cloth.

Shi Bao, who was walking in the back garden, was shocked, and hurriedly took it and unfolded it, only to see a few blood words hurriedly written on it: "Qiang cavalry night attack, Liangzhou Northern Expedition." And the last word is even more crookedly written. Seeing Shi Bao's face change greatly, the chamberlain couldn't help but whisper more carefully beside him: "The messenger from Juxian said that this is a bloody letter written by Liu Xiuli when Lord Liu was attacked last night, and then asked the messenger to send it to Chang'an desperately. It is said that last night, tens of thousands of cavalry poured into the camp under the city of Juxian County, and they went on a rampage, and countless sergeants were trampled to death and burned to death in the dark night. When the messenger rushed out, he found that there were cavalry in all directions, all of them were Qiang cavalry under the banner of Liangzhou, and Lord Liu, who was trapped in it, might ......"

Speaking of this, the chamberlain didn't dare to convey any more bad news, just stood there with his head down and waited for the thunder to be furious, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't react at all, and couldn't help but raise his head slightly and glance at it, and found that Leping Wang Ye Shibud was standing there in a daze, as if petrified.

"Lord Wang! Rajah! The chamberlain hurriedly shouted.

"Hurry up and pass on Zuo, send someone to Feng Yi quickly, and transfer Ma Qiu back to the army! Hurry up and get back to the army! Shi Bao, who came to his senses, hurriedly ordered.

Although the palace blocked all the news, but the people of Chang'an and Haoqiang still have their own news channels, this is just a long time, all kinds of news are flying all over the sky, there are Liangzhou Wang's Northern Expedition, there are three auxiliary rebels to commit Chang'an, about Dongye City sent troops to collect the right, there is almost no news of the Martians invading the earth.

And in the unitary hour, a messenger rode a horse from Xishun Gate. But he was much more miserable and embarrassed. I saw that his helmet was crooked, his body was tattered, and he was covered in blood, and there was an arrow stuck in his back, but it seemed to be stuck in his armor, and it did not hurt the messenger.

Seeing that the defenders of the city gate stopped him, the messenger took out a token and said with difficulty: "Shiping County has fallen!" The Liangzhou army entered Huaili. ”

The defenders saw that it was the token of the Shiping County Guard, and hurriedly let him in.

The messenger rode his horse and galloped down the official road, shouting in fear and hysteria: "Siping County has fallen!" The Liangzhou army entered Huaili! ”

When the people of Chang'an on both sides heard this, they were stunned for a moment, with various complicated expressions of excitement, enlightenment, and shock on their faces.

"Today, tens of thousands of Liangzhou Jin troops gathered under the city, infantry cavalry and horses, siege equipment, and then beat drums to attack the city. Arrows are like showers, soldiers are like ants, and siege and uprooting are like destroying withering and decaying, and there is no one in front of them. There were even more chaotic people in the city who responded, killing the army and seizing the fort, and in a short time, the east, west, and south gates were all lost. The subordinates are incompetent, and they can only repay the country's kindness with their crippled bodies! ”

Hearing the inner servant reading the "last words" sent by the people sent before the "martyrdom" of Shiping County, Shi Bao was petrified again. Zuo Lu next to him didn't know what to say, just stood silently next to him.

After a long time, Shi Bao finally asked, "Where is Ma Qiu now?" ”

Zuo Lu hurriedly replied: "General Ma and his 20,000 subordinates have not yet left Jingzhaoyin, they should still be in Gaolu, this morning the prince sent someone to urgently send him back to the army, and he should be able to return to Chang'an the day after tomorrow." ”

"How's that to be?" Now Shi Bao is so mentally retarded that it is estimated that eating and going to the toilet are problems.

"It's better to tell General Ma not to go back to Chang'an, but to quickly and directly enter Feng County, and the prince can send 10,000 horses to wait for him there. It was necessary to resist the Liangzhou Jin army in Huaili and Juxian there. If they let their troops come to the city of Chang'an, there are tens of thousands of male soldiers outside, and hundreds of thousands of confused people in the inner city, I am afraid that there will be accidents! ”

"Okay, that's it, hurry up and give the order! The order was sent to Ma Qiu, and the gates of Chang'an were closed and the whole city was under martial law! ”

At this time, Zeng Hua was standing in the Shiping County Guard's Mansion, holding a copy of the document and saying to Che Yin and Zheng Pu who were standing next to him: "Is this book to the people in Guanzhong too much?" Our Northern Expedition to Guanzhong this time is just to pay respects, without the official approval of the imperial court, and then such a big show of the four texts, I'm afraid it's inappropriate. ”

Zheng Pu smiled: "My lord, I heard that you followed Lord Huan to the west to conquer the Han Dynasty and also paid homage to the watch, I'm afraid I don't care about this time." ”

Zeng Hua couldn't help laughing, and it was hard to say anything.

But Che Yin said excitedly: "The general's life is not affected, and this military plane has changed suddenly, traveling thousands of miles, I am afraid that the fighter plane has already been late." Moreover, the lord is already pretending to hold the military of the prefectures of Yi, Liang, and Qin, and he has already been granted the right to take the opportunity to cooperate with the Northern Expedition of the Northern Expedition of the Northern General Chu, and of course he can do it. ”

"Now the Lord leads the Northern Expedition, only two hundred miles away from Chang'an, this is an unprecedented thing in the south for decades, of course, it is necessary to spread everywhere, encourage the people, pacify the Quartet, and then recover Jingzhao Chang'an in a war, and make a contribution to the world."

Che Yin still has a mind that has not been said, this time into Guanzhong, judging from the current situation, the Liangzhou Jin army occupies a lot of advantages and chances of victory, if this battle can really recover Chang'an and pacify Guanzhong, I am afraid that the text written by himself will spread all over the world, and he will also follow his name in history, which is what many readers dream of. Therefore, Che Yin's wonderful pen wrote the text extremely impassionedly and magnificently, and he naturally did not want Zeng Hua Festival to have extraneous branches, so as not to let this text spread all over Guanzhong.

When Zeng Hua heard this, he nodded again and again: "Okay!" Then copy it a lot, and immediately spread it all over the Guanzhong land! Anyway, he just wanted to check with Che Yin and Zhen Pu that what he did was not in line with the current "national conditions".

Then he turned his head and asked Di Pudao: "What is the current movement of the Zhao army in Chang'an?" ”

Zheng Pu shook his head and said, "Not yet." Ma Qiubu should still be in Jing Zhaoyin, and it should be very quick to turn around, just in the past few days. He is the only general in Shi Bao's hands that can be used, and I believe that we will meet him soon. I have discussed with Lord Che that if Ma Qiu marches into the army, he will definitely enter Fengcheng, which happens to be the main road from Shiping and Ju County to Chang'an. ”

"Leave him alone. Stone buds need time, and we need time. It will take time for the cavalry from the west to come, and our siege equipment is still slowly tossing around in the valley, and it will be several days, so we will wait for him here. I see how this stone bud can clean up this mess after this text spreads all over Guanzhong. ”

Within a few days, the general of Jin Zhenbei, the governor of Liang, Yi, and Zeng Hua, the military governor of Qin Zhuzhou, were sent out by the Qiang cavalry to spread all over the counties of Sanfu.

Thousands of Sanfu people who had driven away the officials of Zhao gathered at the gate of the county and town, listening to a few scholars reading the text passionately:

Since the Jin Dynasty was covered with dust, Zhengzuo moved to the south, and Hu and other Hus entered the Central Plains, within the four seas, there was no surrender, this is not the will of heaven, but also the hearts of the people. There is no way to do it, and it is wantonly poisoned, and then it is fishy. Crack the crown and destroy the crown, ashamed of this monkey; Break the etiquette and destroy the book, and the beasts. A widow and a lonely son, who do not hear the Flying Hung; The south goes to Huai and the north goes to the secluded, all of them are Changping pits, wronged two-legged sheep, miserable! Therefore, when the comet falls, the sky complains about the top, the landslide and the earth shakes, and the earth complains about the bottom.

Chief Hu is desolate and cruel, loses the way of the monarch and the minister, and adds the tyranny of the ministers, the Xiantai complains, and there is a poisonous abuse, so the people's hearts are rebellious, and the world is in trouble, so that the people of China, the dead are smeared with liver and brain, and the living are not protected by flesh and blood. Gu Yun: Hu Lu has no luck for a hundred years, and today, it is true.

At this time, the circulation of heavenly fortune, the Central Plains is vigorous, and among the billions of trillions, when a saint is born, the Hu Lu is expelled, China is restored, Chen Ji is established, and the people are relieved. In this era, I have not heard of anyone who governs the world and the people, and the envoys are trembling, and they are in the land of the twilight of the Qin Dynasty, and they can be honest.

The Son of Heaven Shengming, inheriting my century-old foundation of the Great Jin, is worthy of Tang and Yu; There are also several generations of emperors who have been diligent for decades, lying on the salary and tasting courage, and making contributions to the world. Today, Jiangnan occupies the breath of the Son of Heaven, and the four seas offer the charm of the Red Emperor. Gong Yu Emperor Shenwu Tianyuan, benevolence and filial piety, Yingxi Taizu, Xun chasing the ancestor, the text is called Shiji, and Wu Lie is correcting Huan.

The Son of Heaven lives in the land where the tiger is located, and he has the danger of the river and the moat. West to Bashu, east to Canghai, south control Baiyue, Liang, Qin, Yi, Jing, Hunan, Henan, Yang, Xu, Guangzhou, Ning, Jiao are all into the territory, dying and south, all for me to have. The people are a little safe, the food is a little sufficient, the soldiers are a little fine, the strings are controlled, and the people of the Central Plains are looking at the people of our Central Plains, who have no owners for a long time, and they are deeply guilty. The Son of Heaven respectfully accepted the mandate of heaven and dared to be at ease, so he wanted to send troops to the north to chase Hu Lu, save the people from the misery, and restore the prestige of the Han officials.

Today, the generals of Zhenbei of the Jin Dynasty, the pretending to hold the festival of the governor Liang, Yi, and the military of Qin Zhuzhou once served the holy will of the Son of Heaven, intending to restore Guanzhong in order to respond to the division. Leading the march to ride 100,000, connecting Yijing in the south and Qinchuan in the north; Iron cavalry is in groups, defending the clouds. Long drive Weishui, straight out of Luogu, take Chang'an in Zhaojing, lay jade burning in Jintang, righteous flag in one fell swoop, respond to all directions, the heart of the people, the anger of the snow heaven and people.

But I am worried that the people are unknown, but I hate them, and I go north, and I am still drowning, so I will tell you first: the soldiers are coming, and the people of Qiang and Di are all my Chinese people, do not avoid them. The order is serious, there is no offense, those who belong to me will always be at peace in China, and those who turn their backs on me will be cut off from the way of heaven. Cover my people in China, and God will order my people in China to be in peace, and how can I rule them! I am afraid that the Middle Earth will be filthy and bloody for a long time, and the people will be disturbed, so he will lead the heroes to work hard to clear up, aiming to chase away the Hulu, eliminate the riots, so that the people can get their place, snow the shame of China, and the people will wait for their bodies.

For example, the Qianhu and Baihu, although they are not of the Chinese race, but between the same heaven and earth, there are those who can know etiquette and righteousness and are willing to abide by the law for their subjects, which is no different from the Chinese people. But if there are two different intentions, it will be the wrath of thunder in lieu of heavenly punishment. Therefore, I would like to know about it! ”

The king of the Northern Expedition has arrived! Like a raging fire, it suddenly burned the entire land of Guanzhong, first Shiping, Sanfu, and then Beidi, Xinping, and Ding'an counties, all of which were swept by this raging fire, and even this fire spread to Shangluo, Weixing, Hedong and Hongnong neighboring counties in Kanto. Officials were killed in various places to drive Hu and occupy important places to wait for the king. In the most ferocious counties of Guanzhong, such as Sanfu, Shiping, and Beidi, there were hundreds of rebels in various places, with more than 100,000 people. The snowflakes of urgency every day made Shi Bao anxious, and by August, the only places he could control were the vicinity of Chang'an and the Fengcheng area where Maqiu's heavy troops were gathered.

Ma Qiu sat in the Yahou Mansion in Fengcheng County, listening to the entourage reading the inscription that was uncovered from nowhere, and the more he listened, the more shocked he became.

Seeing the increasingly heavy faces of his adults, the entourage became more and more panicked. He knew that his own adults were violent and easy to kill, and in the east of the Guanzhong River, it had the effect of stopping children's night crying. Today, I poured eight generations of mold, because I knew some words, I was called to read the text, and I thought I was lucky, I could show it in front of adults, but who knew that it was like this.

The attendant's voice trembled more and more, and cold sweat kept flowing down his forehead. Finally finished reading, Ma Qiu still sat there, although his face was not good-looking, but there was no sign of anger, but there was a feeling of discouragement.

"Where are you from? I know these words. Ma Qiu finally spoke, "In the past, when I raised horses for other people, because I was a Beihu (Zahu) and illiterate, I was called a lowly Hu, and later followed the two generations of emperors (Shi Le and Shi Hu) to fight east and west, galloping on the battlefield. He has killed thousands of well-dressed people, and has always believed that the scriptures and words are not as powerful as steel swords and iron hooves. After reading this article today, I finally understood that this pole is sometimes sharper than a spear! ”

The attendant didn't dare to answer, just stood there with his head bowed, but he should have been calmer than before.

"This Zeng Hua of Liangzhou is not weak, and Yao Guobu's strong men and horses were actually disabled by one of his generals. Today, with this heroic soldier, with this momentum, the soldiers are forcing Chang'an, not good, not good! Ma Qiu was still there and said to herself, and she didn't know who she was talking about.

On the fifth day of the first month of August, Zeng Hua led the army to cross the Weishui at the bridge, and the soldiers and horses went straight to Acheng, which was less than 100 miles northwest of Chang'an. Ma Qiu had no choice but to take up more than 30,000 people, leave Fengcheng and enter the three bridges fifty miles northwest of Chang'an, just in front of Zeng Hua's army.

On the seventh day of the eighth month, the two armies lined up to fight, the Jin army was in the west, and the Zhao army was in the east, less than two miles apart.

Looking at Zhao Jun in the distance, Zeng Hua ordered: "Changjun, you go forward to read the text to Zhao Jun, Yuanqing, you take a hundred horsemen to protect him, remember to be an arrow away, pay attention to safety." ”

Zhao Fu and Duan Huan took the order and left, raising dust all the way to the place where the Zhao army was a stone's throw in front of the array.

"Order the rear army, stone cannons and bed crossbows are ready!" Zeng Hua continued to give orders to the heralds. The herald immediately rode his horse and ran towards the rear of the formation, and after a while, there was a strange squeak and a strange sound in the rear.

Don't look at Zhao Fu is thin and tall, but his voice is very loud, and his voice echoes in the front army of Zhao Jun like a Hong Zhong, and every word of the text has penetrated into the ears of these Zhao army sergeants who can hear it clearly.

When I first read that Chief Hu was cruel and unreasonable, I saw that more than ten noble generals couldn't stand the condemnation of Shi Hu and other Qihu, and couldn't hold back their "anger" and rushed out, shouting loudly while taking their bows, ready to shut up Zhao Fu, who was still chanting aloud.

At this moment, I saw Zhao Fu rushing out of the two horses on both sides, like a string, rolling straight forward. As soon as everyone reacted, they saw that the hands of these two people were as fast as lightning, and there were more than a dozen "whoosh" sounds, and the arrows hit the more than ten Qihu nobles like flies, making them all scream and turn over and dismount. But the two of them did not stop at all, they turned a little corner and quickly returned to Zhao Fu, and everyone saw clearly that one was Duan Huan, the sword general of Zuo Mo, and the other was Lu Zhen, his newly recruited "high apprentice".

Zhao Fu was not affected in the slightest, his voice was still so high-pitched, his expression was still so excited, and he continued to read the text word for word.

In Ma Qiu's anticipation, the text was finally finished. But the consequences it brought were immeasurable for Ma Qiu, and all the sergeants around him were silent, and it was this silent but suppressed silence that made Ma Qiu feel helpless. He heard the whirring wind blowing desperately over his head, and the flags on his left and right crackled.

In the silence, Zhao Fu waited for a while, and seeing that Zhao Jun still didn't have any reaction, he turned his head to Duan Huan and Lu Zhen and said with a smile: "Wave the flag for your lordship!" ”。 When Lu Zhen heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, snatched the flag of the flag bearer beside him, raised it high and shook it vigorously, and then followed Duan Huan and Zhao Fu, who had already turned the horse's head, and ran back and forth.

Seeing Zhao Fu and the others waving the flag in front of him from a distance, Zeng Hua squinted his eyes and nodded coldly, and suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly rose, and several heralds immediately rode their horses and ran back.

Seeing the backs of Zhao Fu and the others getting farther and farther away, Ma Qiu's uneasiness in his heart became more and more serious. Did Jin Jun just read the text and forget it? Is there no further means to undermine the morale of his own people?

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a whistling sound getting louder and louder overhead. Ma Qiu and the other troops looked up when they heard the sound, and saw that in the dazzling sunlight, hundreds of meteorites were dragging their long pale black tails through the sky, flying from behind the Jin army, and smashing them directly on their heads.

Before the meteorite slammed in, Zhao Jun was baptized by a rain of arrows.

These arrows are nearly a foot long, as thick as a twig, and they can be hundreds or thousands in one shot. The sound was loud, but it was still a little smaller than a meteorite, so it was concealed in it. When the long arrow flew to Zhao Jun's head, they discovered this great danger, but it was too late to dodge, so they could only pray for the blessing of their respective ancestors.

There are always people whose ancestors are lazy, and several Zhao Jun sergeants lined up together were pierced by long arrows that shot down diagonally at that moment, and three or four people were pierced there by long arrows, and the blood flowed, but they stood there without falling.

Before Zhao Jun could start to panic, more than 100 meteorites finally fell. The meteorite was a fire with it that seemed to shatter very easily. Once it hit the flagpole or the sergeant's head, it immediately dispersed, and countless flames flew in all directions like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers. This flame should be some saltpeter, grease and other things, as long as it touches the body, it cannot be extinguished for a while, and the slightest delay will lead the leather armor and coat on the body into a ball of flames.

Meteorites and long arrows were concentrated in a local area of the front army, and they immediately killed thousands and hundreds of Zhao army soldiers in the vicinity, screaming and screaming, and quickly fled in all directions, leaving this purgatory-like place.

Note: The longest-range crossbow in the Song Dynasty was 1,000 steps, while the one in the Tang and Song dynasties was recognized by scholars as a definite length of -1.536 meters.
