Zhang Han, who was a pure Han in his past and present life, was naturally infected by the surrounding atmosphere. The exuberant national sentiment in the body quickly occupied the ideological high ground, and involuntarily shouted loudly with everyone.

"Revenge! Avenge! Avenge! ”

……

Meng Heng looked at the group of soldiers under the command of the audience, who had been incited by his words and became emotional, and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

Then he instructed several of his subordinates to quickly go to the various units to inform:

Tonight the chickens are slaughtered and the sheep are slaughtered, and the wine and meat are full. Let the big guys eat and drink well, and then prepare for tomorrow's big fight.

The big-headed soldiers who got the news cheered again, and they were full of praise for their commanders!

After the meeting was over, after the generals on the high platform retreated one after another, except for the troops who needed to guard the city, the other soldiers were organized to return to the camp in an orderly manner.

waited for half an hour before it was Zhang Han's turn to be his team.

"Array! Back to camp! ”

"Step! Trample! Trample! ...”

After receiving the order of the superior, Zhang Han, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, immediately beckoned his ten subordinates to line up neatly and followed the self-chief official back to the camp.

......

Because they were fighting outside the city, although the Song army built several military camps, the soldiers still lived in tents to rest in the barracks. Basically, a team of more than a dozen people shares a tent.

"Bang~Bang~Bang..."

After Zhang Han led his men into the tent, he quickly spoke;

"Brethren! After everyone rests a little, everyone must check the crossbow equipment today, wipe what should be wiped, and replace what should be replaced. Don't drop the chain for Lao Tzu tomorrow~~ Otherwise... Don't blame Lao Tzu for not making it clear in advance, military law does not tolerate personal feelings! ”

"No!"

"Don't worry, captain, who dares to joke with their own lives and military law?"

"It's extreme, it's extreme!"

After his soldiers said yes, they dispersed. As soon as everyone slipped away, they couldn't wait to run to their beds and lie down directly to cover the quilt.

They began to rub their frozen hands and feet vigorously while gossiping with each other to rest.

Zhang Han didn't control them, and life in the barracks was quite boring. The only relaxation is probably to take advantage of the break time for everyone to chat and fart with each other.

After removing the heavy armor from your body, you can put it neatly on the shelf next to the bed.

Zhang Han did not go directly to the bunk to rest like his men, but turned around and walked out of the tent.

When Zhang Han came back after a while, there were already a few more pieces of black charcoal in his hand, and after Zhang Han took the brazier in the corner, he threw the charcoal in the brazier and began to make a fire to keep warm.

In winter, the weather is still very cold, and the temperature is about 10 degrees Celsius. I don't light a fire at night, and I don't have to get sick for a few days by leaning on the thin quilt on the soldier's body.

Zhang Han carefully pulled the charcoal, and gently blew on the red charcoal from time to time. The flames that flickered on the charcoal gradually reflected his face red.

Then.

The noise in the tent suddenly stopped, as if time had pressed the pause button. Zhang Han looked up suspiciously;

The subordinates had stopped talking at this point, and they were all watching him in a daze, and everyone's eyes were shining.

"What are you looking at me for? What, I'm getting ashes on my face? Seeing this, Zhang Han wondered.

After saying that, he also stretched out his hand and touched his face twice. Continue to ask;

"Anything else?"

“……”

"Haha! ……”

Who knew that what greeted him was not the reminders of his subordinates, but the laughter of everyone.

"I said, captain, just now the brothers were moved to see you helping your brother keep warm. How could you ruin the atmosphere so much! ”

Qi Xiu, as his deputy, not only did not relieve him, but at this time, he looked at him playfully and said.

Li Xiaohu next to him was not to be outdone, and his eyes changed back to the bright appearance just now and shouted;

'Lao Qi is right! Just now I saw that the captain also thought of my brother in my hometown, and I don't want the captain to mix up my beautiful fantasies with a word, and I don't want to be authentic......

"Who is Lao Qi called, if you want to call the deputy captain, do you understand the appointment of our Captain Zhang personally?"

Li Xiaohu's voice just fell, and he didn't wait for Zhang Han to speak. Qi Xiu was first unhappy with Li Xiaohu's name for himself, his bronze bell-like eyes were wide open, and his tone of voice was very unkind.

"Yes, yes, Lao Qi is right. Little Tiger! If you want me to say, you are a typical person who has no military discipline and no dignity! ”

The fat man shook his head and echoed Qi Xiu, while looking at the latter with a flattering expression.

Qi Xiu's whole face turned completely black when he heard this, and he turned his head and roared at the fat man;

"Fat Zhang Yun, you rabbit cub is not much better!"

......

Seeing that the topic had been led away from him by everyone, Zhang Han simply did not mix.

As a captain, it is not a good thing to frolic with soldiers every day, which is also the way he has summarized these days to lead soldiers, to maintain a certain sense of mystery in front of soldiers.

In this era, if you usually laugh and scold with the soldiers, you will be a child. No one on the battlefield listens to you, and you are destined to collapse.

But you have to worry about the food, clothing, shelter and transportation of the soldiers, and as a commander. Do everything to get ahead of the soldiers, make them feel cared for, and only follow you when they are in danger.

The two complement each other and do not conflict. The degree of which requires the parties to understand and grasp the proportions on their own.

……

It's winter.

On the eve of Zhang Han's Song-Mongolian coalition army, which was sharpening its knives outside the city, preparing for a large-scale attack. The city of Caizhou is already a stormy scene.

Because of the massacre of the people of Jin by the Mongolian army, most of the people of Jin in Caizhou City gave up the idea of abandoning the city and fleeing for their lives. Many people began to stay, helping the Jin Dynasty's army and the allied forces outside the city to the death.

The soldiers and civilians in the city unanimously resisted the enemy, and it did have a good effect at first. The desperate resistance of the Jin army and civilians thwarted the tentative attacks of the coalition forces several times, allowing Caizhou City to survive for a short time.

However, under the continuous siege of Caizhou by the coalition forces for several months, the huge population of the city gradually became a burden.

In order to maintain the operation of this huge military fortress, it is necessary to consume a large amount of grain and grass every day. Unfortunately, the small amount of land in the city could not produce any food.

Therefore, when the Song army arrived, the people of the entire city were completely in a dilemma of running out of ammunition and food. At this moment, on the eve of the coalition army's imminent attack, the city was already full of starvation.

Although the Emperor of Jin had also implemented various measures before, such as;

The city was built to a solid foundation, and all the men in the city were used as laborers. The woman put on her armor and went up to the city wall to intimidate each other. personally go up to the city walls to boost morale, etc......

Even some time ago, in order not to starve to death, Jin Aizong reluctantly ordered the corpse to be used as military rations. But after all, the corpse is difficult to swallow, and it is easy to stink and deteriorate after a long time, where is the long-term solution?

Therefore, the city still has not been able to solve the problem of food supply.

Jin Aizong has done everything he can, but unfortunately the current state of Jin Jun is exhausted and exhausted. Even if he has the ability to reach the sky, under such a general trend, there is no possibility of turning the tables.

The predicament faced by the Jin Kingdom at this moment is very similar to that of the Northern Song Dynasty a hundred years ago, and it can even be said to be even more miserable!

At that time, the Northern Song Dynasty at least controlled the southern region and could break through and escape. But now the Jin Kingdom is only 400 kilometers away in a straight line except for Caizhou, and Gongzhou, which is located in Gansu, is still under control.

The straight-line distance of 400 kilometers is an impossible distance to cross for ancient times with inconvenient transportation. Moreover, the Song and Mongolian armies were eyeing the city outside. They just want to escape, where can they flee to?

To be honest, although Jin Aizong is not a talented monarch, he is by no means a mediocre person. But all his efforts are still weak under the general trend of history, and all measures seem so small and futile.

In fact, he had long understood that the fall of the Jin Dynasty was imminent, and he had sighed to the sky;

"I have been a doctor of Jin Ziguanglu for ten years, a prince for ten years, and finally an emperor for ten years. I don't think I did anything hurtful, and I don't have any regrets when I die. ”

"It's a pity that the ancestral country is cut off in my hands. Let me become the king of the dead country together with those debaucherous and cruel mediocre kings, this is what I can't let go of the most. ”

Therefore, there was the opening scene, and after some thought, Jin Aizong was ready to find Wanyan Chenglin and let him succeed him instead of him.

Wanyan Chenglin was not Jin Aizong's immediate family, but at this moment, there was no more suitable takeover than Wanyan Chenglin by Jin Aizong's side.

Therefore, since he doesn't want to bear the infamous work of the king of the dead country, it will inevitably fall on the head of Wanyan Chenglin in the end.

……

Caizhou, the residence of Jin Aizong.

Jin Aizong ordered someone to call Wanyan Chenglin to him. In order to relieve Yan Chenglin's heart, let him obediently take this hot potato. After meeting this man who is optimistic about himself.

Jin Aizong ignored the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, took the other party's hand with a smile on his face, and said emotionally;

"Come on, come on... Chenglin is his own family, so he doesn't have to be formal. The widow has something to discuss with you! ”

Wanyan Chenglin was shocked by Jin Aizong's abnormal attitude. Because the other party always talks to himself with a high-minded attitude, how can he ever be so kind today?

But because of the difference between the monarch and the minister, he still had a little trepidation on his face. Uneasy;

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I don't know that His Majesty hurriedly recruited the ministers, but something big happened? ”

After Jin Aizong finished speaking to Yan Chenglin just now, he couldn't take his eyes off the other party's expression. Therefore, the other party asked such a question, which was already expected by him.

So Emperor Jin Ai immediately showed a grief-stricken expression, and squeezed out two turbid tears from the corners of his eyes. The tone of his voice also became choked, and he said sadly;

'Chenglin! You are a child of my people, and no widow wants to deceive you. Sheji has now reached the time of laying eggs, and there is no way to return to the sky!

Since I ascended the throne, I think that I have never slacked off in my conscientious work, but I can't ...... Ay! Heaven forbid! ’

Wanyan Chenglin saw that the emperor looked sad and lonely, although he felt very uncomfortable. But he can't do anything in such a situation in Jinguo!

He's a man, not a god!

I had to reluctantly say with relief; "Your Majesty, don't worry, as the saying goes: there is no way to be endless, and Jiren has his own nature. I believe that with the blessing of our ancestors, everything will be fine. ”

Although he said that, he didn't believe it himself. Jin Aizong naturally didn't believe it, and knew that the other party was a word of relief.

The expression on his face changed rapidly, making the other party see that he seemed to have made a great decision. Then he stared into the other's eyes with burning eyes, and spoke with a solemn expression;

"After thinking about it, I finally decided to entrust the country to you, and you have to take on this heavy responsibility!"

After hearing this, Yan Chenglin was taken aback.

"No! Don't ......" subconsciously shook his head into a rattle.

He had guessed it before he came. At this point in time, it must be no good for the emperor to look for him. But he never expected that the emperor would actually fight this idea.

He was a smart man, otherwise he wouldn't be where he is today. naturally understood that the emperor was asking him to be the backstabbing man of this dead country, so he hurriedly refused in a hurry.

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the emperor next to him stretching out his hand.

Jin Aizong still pretended to be sad and continued;

"Aiqing, don't be busy refusing first. I naturally know how difficult this kind of thing is for you at this time, but I also have my own difficulties! ”

After saying that, he stretched out his wide sleeves and wiped the tears he had just squeezed out. When the sleeves were lowered, the eyes were already red;

"Jiangshan Sheji entrusts you, it's not that I don't want to take responsibility. It's because I'm too fat to ride a horse on an expedition, and if the city falls, it will be difficult to break through.

I also take into account Aiqing, you usually stretch out your hands vigorously, and you have a talent and strategy. If you are lucky enough to escape the throne, you can continue the throne. That's what I want......"

After listening to the emperor's confession, Yan Chenglin pondered it carefully, and felt that what the other party said was not unreasonable.

As a descendant of Wanyan Aguta, although he knew that the emperor's purpose for doing this was not pure, the reason given by the other party made him unable to refuse.

Can you really watch the foundation of your ancestors ruined? A voice in the depths of his heart told him.

He can't do it!

Now that the emperor has said this, after Yan Chenglin was entangled in his heart, he had to reluctantly nod in agreement.

Jin Aizong was overjoyed when he saw it.
