Chapter 1: The Transformation of Yin Ping
Baiyun Mountain is surrounded by white smoke all the year round, the mountain peaks are towering into the clouds, straight into the sky, there is a way that 'the monk has no trace and is difficult to find, and he has to go deep in meditation. Look at the five elders in the green grass lake, and stay in the double forest on Baiyun Mountain. 'There are not only high monks on the high mountain, but also legends that there are immortals who flew into the sky. There is no one to prove, let me leave it alone.
At the foot of Baiyun Mountain is an ancient city with a long history, and the mottled city wall can glimpse one or two of its history. Three years ago, there was a war and chaos, which caused the army originally stationed here to fall apart, and the temple was full of internal and external troubles. The emperor who is in power today is the founding emperor of the current dynasty, Emperor Wu Jingyan, who is said to be a man who can rule the country and level the world, and can determine the world with martial arts. But three years ago, a rebellion with internal and external collusion made the mountains and rivers precarious. The young emperor drove the expedition in person, broke the Huns, and wiped out the dust with a sword. But on the way back to the palace, he encountered a group of assassins with extraordinary skills, and was seriously injured. After this battle, Emperor Wu fell ill, and he was powerless about the affairs of the temple.
This ancient city at the foot of Baiyun Mountain was originally the fief of a prince, and this prince is also an unusual figure. Following the current saint's southern expedition to the north, the southern barbarians directly hit the fundamental, a spear and spear out like a dragon, a white cloth and blood-stained battlefield, the southern barbarians were terrified, and the seven in and seven out went straight to the head of the southern barbarian king Lu Sheng. Order them to disarm and surrender, and retreat to the barbarian land and dare not offend. Accompanied by a personal expedition to the north to resist the Huns, the decisive battle was fought on the Mongolian plain, seven days and seven nights, and the blood flowed like a river. In the end, the two sides withdrew their troops and did not fight for ten years. Once the external troubles are eliminated, the internal troubles are appeased, and the world has been decided. The general who accompanied the emperor in person was canonized by the Holy Grace at the time of the celebration ceremony, the first prince with a different surname. The fiefdom of Yuezhou ordered it to guard the southern barbarians. When this decree came out, it caused an uproar, and several other emperors' brothers complained a lot, but the holy will had been decided, and the others were helpless. After the banquet that day, the king of Yue took 800 soldiers south to Yuezhou. King Yue's real name is Qin Feng, and at that moment, others preferred to call him King Yue. In three years, due to the conscientious operation of the king of Yue, Yuezhou has made a scene of national peace and security. During this time, he also married his wife, the daughter of a local magnate. The husband and wife respect each other like guests, and the husband sings with the wife. In his spare time, he travels everywhere to play in the mountains and rivers, 'the spring is early under Baiyun Mountain, and the scenery of the young man is good. Carry wine Qintuo Summer Palace, and go to Liu Huluan Road. The days passed like this, and one day in a certain month, with a loud cry of a baby, Qin, who was pregnant for nine months, gave birth to a baby boy.
The boy's name is Qin Tao taken from the meaning of "don't work Sun Tzu's law, you have too Gong Tao", Qin Feng hopes that his son can have Sun Wu's method of using soldiers, and have a majestic strategy to serve the country in the future. This is a jubilant day in the whole state, and every household is full of lights, so lively. A few small people in the market rushed to tell each other, followed by a burst of laughter. And just this morning, there was a notice posted in the Yue Wang's Mansion, "The Yue King of Yuezhou is happy to have a son today, the state is happy, the emperor is thick and the earth is rich, the grace of heaven is vast, and the people's livelihood is suffering, so he will be specially given a tax reduction for one year to show the grace of heaven. ”
That night, the Yuewang Mansion was brightly lit, like daytime. There was an endless stream of guests congratulating each other. More than 800 soldiers of the King of Yue were stationed outside the palace of the King of Yue to maintain law and order. Soon after, there were singing chimes in the house, and the sound of chimes was endless. Qin Feng, the king of Yue, staggered in the banquet, and everyone drank freely, the moon and stars were scarce, the wine passed three rounds, and the demon wind was raging between the moments, and the black clouds covered the moon. Billowing black smoke came out of the southeast corner of the Yue Wang's Mansion, and people ran around calling for help. The scene was suddenly chaotic, Qin Feng, who was still drunk and hazy just now, had a cold light flashing in his eyes, and sighed lightly: "After all, you are still here!"
That night, the sword and sword shadow on the Yue Wang's Mansion, fighting and calling for help, 800 Qin guards fought fiercely in the mansion, between the alleys. Overnight, there was a huge change in the Yue Palace, no one knew what happened that night, more than half of the guests who attended the banquet that night were killed or injured, and the rest were secretive about the matter. But how can there be an impermeable wall in the world, according to the gossip, the Yue Wangfu was assassinated by a group of black-clothed people that night, and the internal should cause the Yue King to be seriously injured and almost died. Later, he was rescued by the holy hand of Xinglin, and luckily saved his life. The 800 Qin troops were also killed and wounded, and nearly half of them were wounded. The pro-guards are all good at one in a hundred, and they are all well-known figures in the rivers and lakes, so it is said that such a force could have shaken any organization and gang, and even some Jianghu sects are afraid of them. Even so, it can be seen that the strength of the assassination at that time was strong. In addition, Qin Tao, the newborn young master of the Yue Palace, disappeared in the chaos of the day. Since then, the Yue Wangfu has begun to decline, and the Yue King has no interest in state affairs. At this time, the north was in an emergency, the Xiongnu army was pressing, and Emperor Wu was depressed in his heart, and he was angry about the difficulty of the king of Yue, so he drove the expedition in person, ready to kill the enemy to vent his anger. The ministers could not dissuade them, so they had no choice but to let them go. Along with the expedition were the secret forces in the Imperial City, each of which was led by a Praetorian Guard who was capable of different people.
In the following months, the two armies on the northern frontier fought for a long time, and then Emperor Wu Jingyan ordered the ten Praetorian Guard commanders around him to attack the enemy camp at night. Nine of these ten people were capable people who followed him all the way, the Jiangdong uprising, and the princes killed the crown prince. But one of them, who has been hidden under the black robe, has recently been recruited by the emperor in the rivers and lakes, and has won the trust of the martial king. Under the cover of night, ten people drifted into the enemy camp like smoke, and according to the news given by the spies, they wandered around the tents, and finally stopped outside a tent that was more modest and smaller than ordinary tents, and the remaining nine people waited for the black-clothed man at the head to give orders. With a wave of his right hand, the black-clothed man flew out and rushed forward. At the same time, the dim lights in the camp suddenly turned on. Like daylight, everyone knew that the assassination had failed, and they retreated. There were several big men in the tent, and behind them was a man wearing a white mink with a golden armor around his neck and a deerskin hat, his eyes were like torches and his face was full of beard, and he was looking at the group with a smile. Seeing that there was no chance, the ten people retreated, and stood in a circle back to back, led by the man in black. Without any words, I saw the man in black make a few gestures, and the ten people fled in ten ways. The Hun soldiers were also fierce and chased out with a knife, and the golden-armored man must have been the Hun King Shan Yucheng. I saw that he gave an order, and a few people around him went to chase and kill the few Praetorian Guard commanders who had escaped.
Then he turned around and went to the tent, Jing Yan planted a spy in his army, how could he not do it, after learning about tonight's plan of action, he will plan to catch turtles in an urn, these people have not made a move, but when they are facing each other, they have brought him a lot of pressure and have to be removed. After going back to the tent, he found his table and sat down, wanted to pour a glass of water to drink, took the kettle but found that there was no water, and then he wanted to beckon the guards to come in with a pot, and just about to speak, a soldier walked in outside the door, holding a pot of water in his hand and respectfully handed it to Shan Yucheng, and then bowed down and slowly retreated to the side. Shan Yucheng picked up the kettle and was about to drink it, but the hand that had just been raised in the air stopped, and roared angrily, "Who are you!" Then he pulled out the golden-backed scimitar under the cushion, and slashed Huashan towards the soldier with one blow. I saw that the soldier was not afraid, and said with a slight smile, "The one who took your head!" Then the figure floated backwards, and he didn't make a move just blindly moving and dodging, Shan Yucheng became more and more angry, but he was helpless, he only felt that his body was getting heavier and heavier, and what his eyes saw was a double image. Poisoned!!Panicked, he shouted for help, but a few good guards had already gone to pursue the enemy, and ordinary guards were definitely not the opponents of the person in front of him.
Consciousness slowly left him, and the biggest doubt in his heart at the moment of falling was how to get poisoned! took Shan Yucheng's knife and cut off his head, the man dressed as a soldier slowly walked to the table, gently untied the red rope tied to the wine jug with a handkerchief, carefully wrapped it and put it into the bag in his arms, and then left the tent and disappeared into the night. The night swallowed everything like a giant beast, and everything was silent. Only the Xiongnu camp was brightly lit and noisy.
After dawn, the Xiongnu army, which was originally in a confrontational situation, collected its troops, but Emperor Wu did not pursue much, standing in the cold wind of hunting, looking at the retreating army, at this moment Emperor Wu was left with only three people left in the Janissary Army, Emperor Wu's eyes flashed a trace of coldness, and he said softly, "After Shan Yucheng's death, his tribe will be in chaos, and several leaders on weekdays are not convinced of each other, plus Shan Yucheng's heirs are young, and they can't suppress the ministers, and they will inevitably seize power in a civil war, and their strength will be greatly reduced!" After a pause, he thought for a long time, turned his head and said to the man in black, "Old Chen, I hope you can go to Tongwan City, be sure to make chaos inside it, hum, you also claim to be Tongwan City, and treat my Jingguo Emperor as something!" The man in black nodded in agreement, and then disappeared into the crowd. "Go back to the city!
On the fourth day of November in the third year of Jingguo, Emperor Wu defeated the Xiongnu class and went south to Yuezhou, passing through the Yinping Ancient Road in Yizhou and encountering assassins, the general Mao Kai escorted him to death, and Emperor Jing was seriously injured and returned to the imperial capital. From then on, the king no longer had an early dynasty, healed in the deep palace, and handed over the affairs of the temple to Sima Kui, the prime minister of the outer court, and the two of them, Yi Bojian, the chief lieutenant of the Chinese dynasty, and the two of them, if it was difficult for them to make a decision, then they would come to invite Emperor Wu. Emperor Wu did not go to court, Jingguo's internal traitors were surging, and the external enemies were eyeing each other, since that day Jingguo's national strength declined, the rivers and lakes were in turmoil, and the people were not able to make a living, which was known as "the change of Yinping" in history.
