On the evening of the second day of March, in Xiaocanghe, a small funeral was being held.
What's sad is that the two families can only be regarded as a family who was sent to Lu Yannian's house with an old wife, and his deputy Qi Zhenbiao is a lonely family. Now, the bloodline is completely cut off. As for those Zhuji intelligence officers who have no news yet, since they are not certain to die, there is no action at this time.
In the long shed built on the mountain, most of the people who came to pay homage were soldiers and members of Zhuji who were acquainted with the two families, and some were friends with those who had not yet been determined to be safe. They also came and sat down. Dishes are not generous, with a glass of light wine per person. Ning Yi's family, Qin Shaoqian and other senior military officials were in charge of entertaining the guests. They briefly explained the general situation, Jurchen's behavior, and the response here. Some people became emotional and indignant. After the officer whispered a few words, it was quiet again, only under the table, clenching his fists tightly.
After half a year of defeating Xixia, the Xiaocang River has been expanding in a quiet atmosphere. Sometimes, the bustling scene of outsiders pouring in and goods coming in and out almost makes people forget the depression of the year before the game against Xixia. Even in the past two years, the soldiers who came from the prosperous places in the Central Plains have gradually forgotten what the Central Plains looked like. Only such news of death proves to people that the fierce conflict has never stopped in this place outside the mountain.
The killing and hedging that once appeared under the city of Bianliang, sooner or later, may have begun to appear on this land.
Ning Yi was walking in the long shed with white flowers tied, and nodded and whispered hello to everyone who came over. Some people couldn't help standing up and asked, "Mr. Ning, can we beat Jurchen?" Ning Yi nodded.
"Of course you can," he replied in a low voice. "The state of each of you on Dong Zhiyuan is the secret of the Jurchen's invincibility, even better than them. It is possible for us to beat them, but of course, it is very difficult. It's hard. It's hard."
He said word by word that these three were difficult.
Presumably after saying hi to everyone. Ning Yi quietly left from the side, and Chen Fan followed him out. The two walked along the path between the mountains. There was no moon, and the stars were vast. Ning Yi put his hands into the pockets of his clothes. He was used to asking for pockets. Let Tan'er and others improve the bunt clothes at this time, which are loose, light and energetic.
"Brother Chen, have you been on the battlefield for a long time?"
"I haven't been there a few times before." Chen Fan held a stalk in his mouth and laughed, "Actually. When I was with Shenggong, there was no way to fight, and it was nothing more than leading people to rush forward. Now here, it's very different from the Shenggong uprising. Why do you want to send me out?"
"You are the disciple of Buddha Shuai. You always follow me. I always feel like it's a waste."
"You are really careful, and you are reluctant to let anyone take any advantage of you, so let me relax. There are too many people who want to kill you. If you really come to a great master who doesn't want your life, Chen Tuozi and the others will sacrifice their lives to protect you, but they also I'm afraid that you will be negligent. You have already sent Zhu Biao to Shandong again."
"Hong Ti will come over in a few days."
"If the war really starts, you don't want Qingmu Village? She has to go to the town after all."
"You can find Jin'er to sit in town. Ride a horse and wear a mask."
Ning Yi made a gesture, and Chen Fan then laughed with him. In the past two weeks, the show of stabbing a tiger has been performed in Qingmu Village and Xiaocanghe, and the image of the Blood Bodhisattva wearing a hideous mask has gradually spread. If you just want to fill in the numbers, maybe Jin'er can really act.
But it's just a joke after all. Chen Fan glanced at him: "What do you want me to do?"
"Zhuo Xiaofeng and the others have been here for so long. They are already familiar with the situation of Xiao Canghe. I want to send them to Miao Jiang. But after thinking about it, you are the one who can hold the battle the most. It is easiest to coordinate with Xigua. It's also your husband and wife who got up, so I have to trouble you to lead the team."
Chen Fan frowned, he looked at Ning Yi, and was silent for a moment: "I don't usually ask that. But it's really this time? Is there still a gap with Jurchen?"
"I also hope that there is still time." Ning Yi looked at the valley below and sighed, "Kill the emperor, less than ten thousand soldiers will be raised, and in one year, I will fight to defeat Xixia, and in another year, To deal with the Jurchen, there is no such thing. I chose the Northwest before, and I never thought of doing this. If you give me a few years to open up the situation in the cracks, I will slowly figure it out. The land of the four battles, the barren mountains and mountains, It is also suitable for military training, and our situation will definitely be much better by then.”
He shook his head: "Defeat Xixia is not a good choice. Although all of the team's potential has been squeezed out because of this pressure, the loss is also huge, and it's too fast to startle the snake. Now, other local chickens and rubbish dogs are OK. Pian'an, on our side, we can only see the intentions of Nianhan's side, but think about it, we are such a small place, we haven't got up yet, but there are things like firearms that they are interested in. You are Nianhan, what do you do? ? Will it allow us to negotiate terms with him here?"
"Is there any other way?" Chen Fan frowned, "If you save your strength, what if you stop and leave?"
"Brother Chen, I didn't see you as such a forward-looking person before." Ning Yi joked with a smile.
Chen Fan also smiled: "I am alone, I can put my life and death aside, as long as I die properly, it is common to work hard, but there are so many people. How powerful is the Jurchen, I have never fought, but it is conceivable that this time The purpose of their fight was different from the previous two. The first time was a test, and the battle was decisive. The second time was to break the Bianliang and destroy the Wu Dynasty, and the emperor was arrested. This time it will not be Just play and go, the three-way army will come over, and if you don’t surrender, you will die, there are not many people in this world who can stop it.”
"After all, the West Route Army only has 10,000 gold soldiers."
"Wanyan Loushi used his army like a god. Last year and the year before last, he brought 100,000 or 20,000 people to fight here, 100,000, 300,000, and destroy the dead. Not to mention whether we can defeat him or not, even if we can defeat him, this piece of bone will not matter. It’s definitely not easy to chew on. Moreover, if they really defeated their West Route Army and the whole world resisted the Jurchens, I’m afraid it would be us first.” Chen Fan said here, tilted his head and glanced at him, “These you I can't imagine, what are you thinking now?"
"I discussed it with Shao Qian and Chengzong, and I also thought about it for a long time. A few questions." Ning Yi looked ahead, "I'm not good at fighting after all. How big will the loss be?"
Chen Fan thought for a while: "Lou Shi's own ability, after all, has to be taken into account, if it is only the West Route Army. Of course there is a chance of winning, but it cannot be taken lightly, as you said, it is difficult. Therefore, we must consider the situation of great losses. ."
"The appearance of firearms. After all, some things will change. According to the previous estimation method, it may not be accurate. Of course, there is no accurate thing in the world." Ning Yi smiled slightly, "Head to such a difficult place to open up the situation, What did you come here for? He drove away Xixia, and was chased away by the Jurchen a year later? Drive away? Doing business in the Taiping period requires probabilities and rational treatment. But when the world is in chaos, who is not standing on the cliff. "
"I'm not reconciled." Ning Yi gritted his teeth, his eyes gradually showed an extremely cold and fierce look, and after a while, the look disappeared like an illusion, he tilted his head, "It hasn't started yet. , shouldn't retreat, I want to take a gamble here. If it is true that people like Nianhan and Xiyin are determined to plot against Xiao Canghe, they can't coordinate. Then
The night wind was blowing lightly, and on the hillside, Ning Yi's voice paused: "Then I will do whatever it takes to kill Wanyan Loushi. Even if the next one is Nianhan, I will tear off a piece of him. meat, even considering the possibility of keeping them here."
Things haven't been done yet, Ning Yi's words are just statements, always calm. This time is no exception. After listening to Chen Fan, he quietly looked at the valley below. After a long time, he took a deep breath. He gritted his teeth and laughed, with a frenzied look in his eyes: "Ha, that's what we have to do, that's what we have to do. This way. I understand, if you really want to do this, I will follow, no matter what you do, I will follow."
He paused, nodded and said: "You know, when the Shenggong revolted, it was said to be hundreds of thousands of people, and it was a mess, but I always felt that there was nothing wrong with the meaning at all. The meaning at that time is compared with the current one. Get up, you don't have the guts at all."
Immediately, he said, "I'll tell Watermelon about this, that little girl will like to kill you. I don't say anything on the surface, and when I turn my head away, there are stars in my eyes, hey, that's it."
Hearing what he said, Ning Yi also laughed: "It's just a temporary idea. Sometimes, the situation is stronger than people. If there is a change, it can only be seen walking."
"I know." Chen Fan put his hands on his hips, and then pointed at him: "Be careful not to die, and practice more martial arts."
"I'm already a martial arts master."
Chen Fan looked ahead, shook his head, and said to himself as if he hadn't heard Ning Yi's words at all: "Mother, it's time to find a time, I teamed up with Zhu Biao and the 6 masters, and went to do Lin Yechan. , if you have less confidants, or you will find watermelon, Chen Tuozi and the others will be fine.”
"Stupid" Ning Yi curled his lips in dissatisfaction, turned around and walked forward, Chen Fan followed up with his own thoughts, Ning Yi stepped forward and spread his hands, speaking loudly, "Everyone sees it, I now feel that I have found a mistake. candidate."
"What I said is true, it can be done." Chen Fan said.
"I don't have time to deal with that surname Lin"
The two discussed for a while, and the front gradually came to the small courtyard. A figure was wandering outside the courtyard, but it was Jin'er who stayed at home with the children. She was wearing a floral jacket and was walking outside the hospital with Ning Yi's younger daughter, Ning Wenwen, who was less than a year old. .
Ning Yi walked over and sat down with Jin'er on the grass beside him. Jin'er asked a few things about the funeral, and Ning Yi answered. At this time, the valley below was stretched by fire, and the traces of people made everything feel warm. Jin'er recalled what happened in Jiangning, and said a few words to Ning Yi. During the days in the brothel, she and her sisters commented on the talents of Jiangning. , The small building by the Qinhuai River, living together with Yunzhu, the morning fog every day, the running in the morning fog, the strange man running over. At that time, she never imagined that this man would become her husband, and of course she never imagined that the son-in-law and talented man she fell in love with would eventually come here.
It would be very desirable if everything could be as it was before.
"Can we live like that in the future?" Jin'er said softly with a smile, "Wait until the Jurchen is beaten away."
"Wait until the Jurchen is defeated and the world is at peace, we will return to Jiangning, build a wooden building by the Qinhuai River, you and Yunzhu live there, I run every day, you guys, you will be annoyed by children all day long, it can be seen that there are always Some won't be what they used to be."
Jin'er smiled, and after a while, she stretched out her finger: "It's an appointment."
Ning Yi reached out and ticked: "It's an appointment."
This night, there were bright stars in the sky, and in the valley of the Xiaocang River, the firelights inhabited by the crowd stretched like stars toward the mountain pass. At this time, the Jurchen Jurchen descended from the north to the south, and the situation in the entire north of the Yellow River was completely Get confused. Most of the business roads have been paralyzed, and the goods in and out of the Xiaocang River have gradually come to an end. However, on the fourth day of the third month, someone came with a letter, and then came the last batch of large-scale materials destined for the Xiaocang River.
Surprisingly, it was Zuo Duanyou's letter. After Xiao Canghe left, and now Jurchen has finally invaded south, Zuo Duanyou has made a decision to go south with his family.
And a large amount of ordnance, iron, gunpowder, grain and other items were transported to the mountains of Xiaocanghe, which made the valley lively and lively for a while.
To the east, the Central Plains.
On the highways from north to south, the fleeing crowds stretched for hundreds of miles. The big households drove cattle, sheep, and cars, while the poor and small households carried parcels and dragged their families with them. At every ferry crossing of the Yellow River, the ferries passing through are already operating at full capacity.
Because the first wave of refugees from the Jinnan has begun to appear. The Jurchen army followed closely behind, slaughtering at the tail, and after the first wave of several battles, the 100,000 rout troops were scattered like a tide on the land north of the Yellow River. To the south, the operation of the Wu Dynasty court seemed to be frightened, completely dead.
Blood and life, the flames of war, weeping and mourning, are the first wave of price paid in this world (.)
