The Dahua court has always been a political dispute, and there is no shortage of imperial relatives and eunuchs in various dynasties to win over their subordinates to form an alliance of interests. Although the emperors of all dynasties knew that the party was fighting and chaotic government, few of them could be curbed a little.

In such a general trend, if you don't have a good family background and refuse to rely on the powerful and favored ministers, if you want to stand on your own in the court, it is tantamount to talking about a dream with an idiot. Qingliu who is self-disciplined like Mei Siyuan has always recognized himself as a vassal of the Jaw Palace.

Because of this, the three kings have been fighting openly and secretly for more than ten years, and Emperor Yonghua has always turned a blind eye and has not interfered too much.

Guo Zimu is a vassal of the Yiwang Mansion, and he can come to serve as the resident general of this county government thanks to Xia Muren's recommendation. Previously, Mei Siyuan and Xu Dingan were trapped in Suzhou City, and there was a reason why he did not send troops to help. In fact, he received the news three days after Shatuo's army invaded Tianmen City, and sent a letter to the capital Yiwang Mansion that night to inquire about Xia Muren's tone. However, there was no reply from Xia Muren for a long time, and he never dared to send troops.

Leading the troops out of Jinzhou to meet the enemy was a matter of love, but it was outside his duty, and he did not dare to make decisions.

After Xia Muchao detained Guo's family, Guo Zimu hurriedly repaired the book to Xia Muren, and only got an eight-character reply: "Do your best to help him get rid of the thief." ”

When Mei Siyuan found him, he didn't think much about it, and even agreed.

Five thousand horsemen rode on the starry night and rushed from the camp in Jinzhou to the stone mountain of Tianmen City. Xia Muchao had already explained to Mei Siyuan before leaving that the place to negotiate with Shatuo was in Shishan.

On June 13, 5,000 people finally rushed to Tianmen City.

The terrain of Anxian is high in the west and low in the east, and Tianmen City is the extreme west of Dahua, although it is the height of summer, there is already a cool night at night. The light of the stars and the moon shone on the earth, like a layer of plain silver.

"Master Mei, this is Stone Mountain, His Royal Highness the Jaw King should be nearby. At this time, the night is already deep, so we have to light the lamp, but within dozens of miles of this vision, where is the slightest bit of fire?" Guo Zimu said in a deep voice Mei Siyuan. These 5,000 people are his soldiers, and they have been rushing day and night for the past three days, and the generals have long been resentful, and they should have rested at this time, but Mei Siyuan did not mean to stop.

"Lord Wang, where are you?" Mei Siyuan asked secretly in his heart, unconsciously exhaling heavily.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Guo Zimu was even more angry, coughed, and said: "Master Mei, these generals are flesh and blood, they can't withstand such a toss, so why don't you camp on the spot and rest?"

Mei Siyuan looked at him sideways, still silent. How could he not know that at this time, the men and horses were tired and the road was difficult? However, Xia Muchao did not find it for a while, so he could not feel at ease for a moment.

"Report~~~!" came the voice of the scout in front of him.

"Come forward and report!" the general on the side ordered loudly.

The scout drove his horse at a gallop from afar, turned off his horse in front of Guo Zimu, and knelt down to report: "General, Master Mei, there is a discovery about ten miles ahead. ”

"What did you find?" asked Guo Zimu with wide eyes.

"It's... This... The little ones really don't dare to talk nonsense. The scout replied with some promise, some with alarm.

Mei Siyuan's mind sank, and he shouted: "What did you see? But no one will blame you!"

The scout swallowed and whispered, "There is a notch in the stone mountain ahead, there are traces of a fight on the ground, and there is a new grave and a mass grave next to it. ”

"What, is there a monument on the grave?" replied Mei Siyuan in a trembling voice.

"The little one is not very literate, and I can't see it very real this night, but I vaguely see a tombstone on... There is a word for 'king' and a word for 'shepherd'. The scouts are all literate, and he has recognized the "Jaw King Xia Muren", but he didn't dare to go wrong, and the officials questioned themselves.

His words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, shocking Mei Siyuan's internal chaos, "Lead me quickly!"

... ...

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves shattered the silence of the night, and the people of Beiye City, who had fallen asleep, were awakened by this sudden sound.

Waking up is the beginning of a nightmare.

There was no shouting of killing, only cold knives and guns and raging flames. Soldiers and horses do not leave people and animals everywhere, and all life is extinguished.

"Kill!" there was only one word left in Xia Chengcan's mind. He led more than 20,000 cavalry and ran more than 600 miles just to kill people and kill the Turks.

He wants to vent his anger. His father was framed and killed for no reason, and his heart was filled with anger and hatred, which made him only want to kill people, kill the people of the country. In his opinion, all the Turks should be killed.

"Xia Muyan and the Turks deserve to die!" Xia Chengcan said thousands of times in his heart.

Are the people of Beiye City innocent? Naturally innocent! Xia Muyang was not killed by them.

"Among the murderers of my father may be the people of Beiye City. This is Xia Chengcan's last words. It is better to kill 10,000 by mistake than to teach a single person to slip through the net.

Then he will kill anyone who is suspected in the slightest.

When he offered to slaughter the city in his tent, no one came to stop him. The generals in the camp are all Xia Muyang's subordinates for many years, and they are also full of grief and indignation. Although he knew that Xia Chengcan's discussion was extremely irrational, he was willing to share the notoriety of this city slaughter with him.

I was born as a king, so why should I die?

More than 20,000 horses are strong, more than 20,000 people are persistent, and people and horses are killing people like killing chickens and dogs. The screams resounded in the sky from late night to dawn.

... ...

The tomb of the Xia Mu Dynasty, the prince of Dahuajaw.

Only the cross, but every word is heartfelt, Mei Siyuan's heart is like a knife, and he is in pain.

He still remembers that night outside the city, drinking to the fullest, the two of them hit the can and sang, singing the ambition of the green clouds and the suffering of the world:

"Siyuan, Dahua has accumulated disadvantages for a long time, the Turkic country Shatuo is eyeing the tiger, and the country is in danger! You and I will work together, first cure the internal troubles and eliminate the thieves, and then go to the frontier to resist foreign enemies, and this life is not in vain for the country and the people!"

"Thinking about the source, the difficulty of people's livelihood lies in injustice and inequality. Wealthy households and unscrupulous gentry occupy thousands of acres of land, granaries are piled up at home, and countless sheep are raised in captivity. And ordinary people's families, all year round hard work may not be able to ensure that three meals are missing, and the famine year is even more hungry and cold, and the suffering is unspeakable. As for the poor tenant farmers, alas, what a plight..."

"Yuanchen, this kid I also like tightly, I didn't expect him to not only become very good friends with Cheng Xuan, but also have feelings for each other with Yiyi, if everything goes well, you and I will become in-laws next month. ”

Mei Siyuan crouched on the tombstone and cried out in a mournful voice: "The sky has no eyes! You don't know the suffering of the world, and you forcibly take my jaw king, and it will be in vain! God, why don't you take pity on me Dahua..."

... ...

It was dawn, but Beiye City seemed to stop last night.

There are no more peddlers who get up early to get up, no farmers who are busy in the morning, no dull "o'clock" clock in the yamen, no more smoke wafting from the house...

Beiye City is still there, but the people of Beiye City are gone.

From the south of the city to the north of the city, from the east of the city to the west of the city, even in the alleys, and even in the cellars of the rich and wealthy... Everywhere there are corpses, everywhere there are dead people: burned, hacked to death, stabbed to death, trampled to death... There are old people, strong men, women and children.

200,000 people in Beiye City died overnight. The thought of the deacons is to bring disaster to the world.
