Chapter 7: There is a Holy Monarch in Snow Abyss City (Part II)

Xiao Yin's eyes widened suddenly, and he said in shock: "Why is it in Xueyuan City?"

Gongsun Mubai waved his hand and said: "Don't be surprised, Gongzi Xiao, not only does Xueyuan City have this pilgrimage at this moment, but also, the lord of the Dajin Kingdom, who is absolutely beautiful, is also in Xueyuan City at this moment. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"This ......" Xiao Yin was suddenly a little stunned.

"Two country lords appeared in Xueyuan City at the same time?" Xiao Yin muttered in surprise.

"That's right, because the two lords intend to follow the example of their ancestors and jointly sign the second 'Snow Abyss Alliance'. Gongsun Mubai said calmly.

"The second 'Snow Abyss Alliance'? What does this mean? If the Lord of the Jin Kingdom intends to continue to maintain peace with this dynasty and continue to abide by the first 'Snow Abyss Alliance', why do you want to raise swords and soldiers? Could it be that there is something else in it?" Xiao Yin was puzzled.

"Good question!" Gongsun Mubai looked at Xiao Yin with a hint of appreciation in his eyes and said approvingly.

Dugu Yanyue was also staring at Xiao Yin intently at the moment, as if she was very interested in Xiao Yin.

Gongsun Mubai continued: "The cause of the matter is this, at the beginning of this year, after the Dajin Kingdom launched a fierce attack on the border of this dynasty, the imperial court immediately responded to it, and the Shengshang sent the general of the Zhenguo State, Taishu Sheng, to the border, and mobilized nearly half of the troops of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun with a total of more than 500,000 troops to fight with all their might. At the beginning, the Jin State offensive was fierce, the army of this dynasty lost many victories, and more than 30 border cities were lost, however, with the elongation of the battle line, the supply of grain and grass in the Jin State was insufficient, and the general Taishu planned a clever plan to defeat the Jin State forward army several times, and then with the advantage of geographical advantages, the soldiers and horses of the Dajin State were completely blocked in the Yunyuan Mountain Range. Since then, the two sides have entered a stalemate. Finally, three months later, the Jin army retreated for a hundred miles and sent an envoy to the present dynasty, proposing a truce between the two sides and signing an alliance again. ”

Speaking of this, Gongsun Mubai suddenly stopped, looked at Xiao Yin and said, "Young Master Xiao, what do you think about this?"

Xiao Yin was silent for a moment and said: "For hundreds of years, the Dajin Kingdom and this dynasty have been at peace, but in the past ten years, they have expanded and strengthened their strength, and the speed of their rise is amazing. Now he suddenly tore up the covenant and came to attack for no reason, although the reason is unknown, but judging from the beginning of the Jin army's offensive of taking twelve cities overnight, its speed and accuracy were by no means a whim, but a long time of preparation. At this moment, outside the Yunyuan Mountain Range, although it was difficult to advance, it would never be able to afford to wait even three months, and it was really unreasonable to want to ask for peace so urgently. ”

After listening to Xiao Yin's words, Gongsun Mubai and Dugu Yanyue immediately showed a hint of surprise in their eyes that could not be concealed.

Gongsun Mubai looked at Xiao Yin and said in disbelief: "Xiao Gongzi's clarity of thinking and thorough analysis of problems are really commendable! I just described the battle situation on the front line roughly, and Xiao Gongzi can infer such an inference from these few words, which is really extraordinary!"

Then, Gongsun Mubai continued: "Yes, since the envoy of the Jin State brought the intention of the Lord of the Jin State to seek peace, the ministers of the DPRK and China immediately divided into two different opinions on this proposal. Some people think that the Dajin Kingdom is attacking this time, the soldiers are strong and strong, and the momentum is unstoppable, and the dynasty has not been at war for many years, and the strength of the troops is not as good as before compared to the time of Taizu, so it is better to take this opportunity to agree to the will of the lord of the Jin State and sign a peace covenant again to protect the country. On the other hand, the ministers of the other faction believe that the Dajin Kingdom is arrogant and ignorant, and it is really tolerated to invade our territory without authorization, and it must be attacked head-on and completely defeated, so as to show the prestige of our country and deter the Quartet. Peace negotiations are absolutely impossible. In this way, the two sides quarreled endlessly, and for several days to no avail, at last, the emperor himself issued a holy decree and agreed to negotiate peace. ”

"Agreed?!" Xiao Yin was a little surprised.

Gongsun Mubai nodded and said: "The emperor is merciful, and he can't bear to raise swords and soldiers in the world again, which will harm the people, so it is reasonable to have this choice." Moreover, the envoy of the Jin State proposed that in order to show the sincerity of the lord of the Jin State, the place of peace negotiation could be selected by the imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the northern frontier. In this way, even if some people oppose the peace proposal on the grounds of the emperor's safety, they can't put forward any other opinions at this moment. In this way, after several considerations, the emperor finally chose Xueyuan City as the place for peace. Therefore, on the eighth day of the sixth month, the emperor drove to the north of Xinjiang and led a group of civil and military ministers and 80,000 horses of the Shendu Imperial Forest Army to Xueyuan City. And I, of course, am among them. ”

Gongsun Mubai continued: "After we arrived at Xueyuan City, the Lord of the Jin Kingdom was already waiting in the city, and there were not too many attendants, only 8,000 iron cavalry and 20,000 infantry were stationed in the north of the city. In this way, we will be completely relieved, such a huge disparity in strength, even if the Jin country has another conspiracy, I am afraid it will not be able to make too big waves. Subsequently, the emperor entered from the southern city, and three days later, the two sides met on the platform in the city. At the beginning of the alliance, the lord of the Jin State was extremely polite, repeatedly showed goodwill to the dynasty, and showed that the sword soldiers were vainly raised this time, but because the recent expansion of the Jin State was too rapid, the domestic princes and nobles, generals and soldiers were arrogant, in vain attempts to enter the Middle Earth Continent, under many pressures, the Lord of the Jin State sent troops to attack, and now the war is deadlocked, and the Jin army and horses have suffered defeats, and finally the Jin State has realized that it is unwise to start a war against the Great Zhou Dynasty with the power of the country, so this is the intention of asking for peace. Therefore, whether it was the selection of the location of the alliance or the number of soldiers stationed outside the city, the Jin State was greatly expressing its sincerity to the Great Zhou Dynasty. The emperor, Longyan Dayue, decided to follow the example of his ancestors and sign the 'Snow Abyss Alliance' with Dajin Kingdom again in Xueyuan City. However, just as the covenant was signed, Wan Yan Jue suddenly made a request!"

Speaking of this, Gongsun Mubai paused.

Xiao Yin immediately understood that the next thing was related to the purpose of this trip.

Sure enough, Gongsun Mubai stared at Xiao Yin tightly and said, "This request is, I hope that my Great Zhou Dynasty can return the body of an ancestor of their Great Jin Kingdom." ”

Hearing the word "remains", Xiao Yin's pupils suddenly shrank, and then he immediately thought of the black coffin pulled on top of the strange carriage.

"How could the remains of the ancestors of the Great Jin Kingdom be in our Middle-earth Continent?" Xiao Yinqi said.

Gongsun Mubai said slowly: "In fact, this matter dates back to the time of Emperor Taizu, when Taizu fought in the south and the north, and conquered the Great Zhou world, which naturally included the crusade against the Northern Plains Continent. It's just that the resistance of the Northern Plains Continent was extremely tenacious at the beginning, and the Middle Earth Continent was already full of smoke, so Taizu had no time to look north, so there was the first 'Snow Abyss Alliance'. It's just that before the signing of the covenant, a general in this dynasty once led a surprise army to raid the northwest tent of the Dajin Kingdom, and successfully captured a group of Dajin royal families and ministers, as well as a large number of heavy grain and grass. However, when the captives were counted, they were surprised to find that a group of craftsmen were hidden in the tent, and the origin of these craftsmen was unknown, and it seemed that they were doing something extremely mysterious. ”

"Craftsman, mysterious thing?" Xiao Yin's eyes suddenly lit up.

Gongsun Mubai nodded and said: "Yes, the Great Zhou general was an extremely cautious person at that time, and immediately found out that something was wrong, and immediately tortured all the craftsmen, and finally realized that this group of craftsmen was actually secretly building a royal mausoleum. ”

"The royal mausoleum, sure enough, is it related to the coffin!" Xiao Yin's heart moved.

Gongsun Mubai seemed to see what Xiao Yin was thinking, nodded secretly, and continued in his mouth: "After hearing the news, the general of the Great Zhou was overjoyed, and then learned the location of the secret mausoleum from the leader of the craftsmen, and led the elite soldiers to the location revealed by the craftsmen overnight. The Great Zhou general was overjoyed, and then unceremoniously slaughtered all the craftsmen in the mausoleum, and then looted all the funeral jewels and utensils inside, and finally snatched the coffin in the mausoleum. ”

"Bloody mausoleum?!Forcibly rob the coffin?!" Xiao Yin couldn't help but exclaim.

Gongsun Mubai and Dugu Yanyue were immediately attracted by Xiao Yin's slightly out of shape expression.

"What's wrong? Dugu Yanyue asked a little nervously.

Xiao Yin said solemnly: "Since ancient times, funeral rites have been extremely solemn and solemn in the world. In addition to showing respect and courtesy to the dead, but more importantly, because the ancient sages believed that after death, the soul of a person is still there, and if someone wantonly defiles his burial place, he will definitely take revenge on the rude person in the future. Therefore, the burial place of the deceased, whether it is the ordinary grave of the peddler's pawn or the mausoleum of the emperor and general, should not be moved lightly, otherwise it is very easy to suffer from disasters. ”

After Xiao Yin finished speaking, for a while, no one in the big tent continued to speak, and the three of them sat cross-legged on the spot, and couldn't help but be silent.

Finally, Dugu Yanyue couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Mr. Gongsun, what happened to that Great Zhou general?"

Gongsun Mubai was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "That Great Zhou general's sneak attack on the northwest tent court this time was not only a great success, but also destroyed a mausoleum of the Great Jin Kingdom. It's a pity ......"

Speaking of this, Gongsun Mubai paused, then glanced at Xiao Yin and the others, and continued: "It's a pity that when he returned to the Divine Capital, Emperor Taizu had already reached an alliance with the Great Golden Holy Ancestor! Therefore, in the end, instead of rewarding this general, Emperor Taizu was angry that his actions had a very bad impact on the covenant, so he immediately killed all the generals and soldiers on this trip, more than 3,000 people. ”

When the last four words were spoken, Gongsun Mubai's eyes darkened.

Xiao Yin and Dugu Yanyue were also shocked when they heard this, and after staring at each other for a moment, they were speechless.

After being silent for a long time, Xiao Yin finally sighed with emotion: "The world is impermanent, and people are confused, so count yourself and count yourself." After defiling the dead, he wanted to exchange for some wealth, but in the end, he just put his own net worth and life into it. ”

Dugu Yanyue muttered to herself in dismay, "What happened then?"

Gongsun Mubai sighed lightly and said: "Later, Emperor Taizu calmed down the matter at the cost of killing these three thousand generals and soldiers, however, the princes and ministers captured by that general, the plundered gold and silver treasures, and the remains of the brothers of the Great Golden Holy Ancestor did not have time to be returned to the Great Jin Kingdom. Because, it didn't take long for Emperor Taizu and Dajin Shengzu to be injured again due to years of war, and in the same year, they both returned to heaven. ”
