In the first month of the tenth year of Wu Jianshuo, the entire Wu Dynasty was on the verge of collapse.
Under the background of the Jin Emperor Wu Qimai's stroke, Jurchen Wanyan Zongfu and Wanyan Zonghan led the east and west armies to the south. After more than ten years of Jin's first southern expedition, they began to completely wipe out the Wu Dynasty regime. world process.
Facing the might of the Jurchen army going south, the remaining anti-gold forces in the Central Plains were launched under the most difficult circumstances. Jindi, under the leadership of Tian Shi, launched a prelude of resistance. After a tragic and difficult winter, the battle situation on the western front of the Central Plains finally showed the first ray of dawn.
On the 21st day of the first lunar month, the leaders of the anti-golden alliance of all parties in Fenyang recognized the dedication and determination of the King of Jin family in this anti-golden war, and discussed many anti-golden matters in the next year. There are many mountains in Jin, but it lies in the key position of the Jurchen West Road Army going south. It can retreat between the mountains, and it can deter Jurchen from going down the road. It is not impossible for a heavy nail to be stabbed on the road to the south, and even the Jurchen troops with long supply lines that have been consumed by the war for the above time.
In terms of Jurchen, they have never neglected the resistance forces. With the development of the Fenyang Alliance, the teams that were once silent on the northern front started to move, trying to obstruct the progress of the alliance with a sudden offensive. However, although most of the leaders of the anti-gold forces gathered in Fenyang, the military arrangement on the front line was actually loose on the outside and tight on the inside. Under the circumstances that had already been arranged, there was no chaos.
On the way to the alliance, an assassination incident planned and arranged by the Jurchen broke out in the Fenyang camp. Several Jurchen dead men were captured in this incident. After the successful conclusion of the alliance on the 21st of the first lunar month, the leaders of all parties embarked on the road of return. Twenty-two, Jin Wangtian set off in a real car, and after leading his team for nearly half a year, he set foot on the journey back to Wasion.
Even though he had been defeated several times on the battlefield, there was huge friction and division within the King of Jin's forces because of his determination to resist gold. However, when this drastic operation was completed, the entire Jin Wang anti-gold force finally got rid of Shen Gang. Although there is still weakness after the operation, the entire force also has more possibilities to move forward. Last year's personal expedition, he gave his life, and now, it has finally received its effect.
Whether it is a prince or an ordinary person, the experience between life and death can always give people a huge insight. The war and the fight against gold will be a huge turbulence that lasts for a long time, but Tian Shi has already felt the thrill of it just by taking part in the beginning of this turbulence. On the way back that day, Tian Shi looked at the white snow on both sides of the car and knew in his heart that a more difficult situation was yet to come.
There are many thoughts in his mind.
On the 22nd night of the first lunar month in the tenth year of Jianshuo, it was close to the border of Wasion, Lone Pine Station. Jin Wangtian passed away the last moment of his life four months after he was told to fight against gold.
Died by assassination.
*************
The Gusong Station in the east of Fenyang, although named after Lone Pine, is not desolate. It is located on the only way connecting Fenyang and Weisheng. With the increase of Jin's population and commercial prosperity in recent years, it is It has become a big station, and various supporting facilities are quite good. Tian Shi's car drove all the way east, and stopped here as evening approached.
The meeting in Fenyang was a major event, and the Jurchen would never want to see it go smoothly. Although it had ended smoothly at this time, Yu Yulin led his personal soldiers along the way for security reasons. This day and night, Tian Shi and Yu Yulin met, and they had a lot of conversations. Talking about the appearance of Gusongyi ten years ago, he was quite emotional. Speaking of this personal expedition that had ended, Tian Shi said:
"I only now know that last year's decision to lead the army and go on a personal expedition was actually a crooked fight and the only way to go, and it was only after I almost died that it went a little smoother. Last year... If the determination was poor, and the luck was poor, your bones and my bones would be cold."
Yu Yulin replied, "And the one from Wei Sheng, I'm afraid he will be raped and then killed... raped several times."
"Haha, she has such a fierce face, who would dare to attack..."
Speaking of the one from Wasion, Yu Yulin thought of Tianshi entering the Weisheng world tomorrow, and warned again: "The army has been sifted many times. Although there is a girl in the city of Weisheng, but when the king returns, he will also Don't take it lightly. In fact, Jurchen's ambitions are not dead on the way, and he is afraid that someone will take the opportunity to change his defense tomorrow."
In fact, Tian Shi already understood these truths and nodded in agreement. While they were talking, there was a commotion in the night not far from the inn, and then someone came to report that several people with suspicious expressions were found, and now the containment has begun, and two people have been captured.
The Assassin's Way has always been a matter of mental arithmetic, but now that it has been discovered, there are no longer too many problems. When the fighting subsided over there, Yu Yulin had someone take care of Tian Shi's side, and went there to check on it by himself, only to find out that it was the beginning to the end of the unwilling Liaodong Deadmen Association. There were six or seven outbreaks of the outbreak, among which there were dead Jurchen soldiers and Han people who were struggling to survive in Liaodong, which shows the tension on the Jurchen side.
He arranged for his deputy to drag the assassin down to torture him, and then he strengthened the defense of Lone Pine Station. Before the order was issued, a shrill and chaotic sound suddenly came from Tian Shi's direction. run wild.
The wind is fierce.
The swaying torches whistled in the wind, illuminating the whiteness between heaven and earth on both sides of the road. Chill was still the main tone of this world. When he noticed the way the soldiers in front were mobilized, Yu Yulin had already realized that something was wrong. He rushed into the station. The courtyard, in front of it is a fenced ornamental rock, the snow in the courtyard has been swept away, the lanterns on the wall stretch out, and on the other side of the rockery, the smell of blood wafts over.
The soldiers have gathered, and so has the doctor. On the other side of the rockery, a corpse fell to the ground, a steel knife spread out his throat, blood was flowing freely, Tian Shi was sitting paralyzed under the eaves not far away, his back was against the pillar, and a dagger was stuck in his throat. There was already a pool of blood on the bottom of his heart.
Tian Shi waved to Yu Yulin's side, Yu Yulin rushed over in three steps and two steps, when he saw the dead man on the ground, he already knew the identity of the other party. Lei Zeyuan, who was originally a steward in the Heavenly Pole Palace, had outstanding abilities and had always been highly regarded by Tian Shi. During the personal expedition, Lei Zeyuan was called into the army to help. At the end of November, Tian Shi's army was swept away, and he escaped to join the army only after dying. He belongs to a trusted officer who has experienced the test.
This is one of the backers arranged by Jurchen. In the great rout at the end of November, he never went all the way with Tian Shi, and when they reunited again, he did not attack. Before Huimeng, he never attacked, until after the successful completion of Huimeng, when Yu Yulin sent him to the border of Wasion, Yu Lin. This knife was stabbed in the background of the feint of more than 100,000 troops at the border and the assassination of the dead several times.
"Lei Zeyuan, Lei Zeyuan..." Tian Shi's face was as pale as paper, and he said the name softly, but with a slight smile on his face, as if he was dumbfounded by all this. Yu Yulin looked at the doctor next to him, the doctor looked embarrassed, and Tian Shi also said: "Don't waste your time, I have also stayed in the army, General Yu, Yu..."
I saw Tian Shi's hand fell, the corner of his mouth smiled, and his eyes looked at the distance in the snowy night.
"Slaying on the battlefield is omnipotent. It should have been thought of long ago... The King of Jin has been subservient to the Jurchen for ten years, seemingly independent. Several big clans in Jin, nails... I don't know how many..."
"Kings… "
"... If I didn't prevent it, I would be willing to give in to the gamble. General Yu, I regret it... I originally thought, after today, I want... I want to make a big career. I was thinking, how can I do it? Fighting against the Jurchen, even defeating the Jurchen, fighting against the heroes of the world... But, this is fighting against the heroes of the world, it's really... It's a pity, I've only just begun to go... Thief God..."
He raised his hand, as if he wanted to grab something, but he finally gave up. Yu Yulin knelt down halfway, reached out, and Tian Shi grabbed his arm.
"...General Yu, when I was young, I met... I saw a very powerful person. During the trip to Qingmu Village, Ning Rentu, he later went to the Golden Palace and killed the dog emperor of the Wu Dynasty, ah, really Awesome... When can I be like him, Jurchen... Jurchen is like a dark cloud, crushing this world, no one in Liao and Wu Dynasty can be equal, only him, the battle of Xiao Canghe, amazing. After I came to the Queen of Jin, I was brooding and wanted to do something..."
"... I thought I had... stood up... "
His breath has gradually weakened, and when he said this, he paused, and after a while, he gathered a trace of strength.
"... Big Brother Yu, I just thought that I will die here and leave you... a mess. We have just met the alliance, and the Jurchens even fought each other. If I had known that I would die, I would be a figurehead. King Jin will be fine, really... why bother. But Big Brother Yu... "
He struggled for a moment: "... Brother Yu, you... there is nothing you can do, no matter how difficult the situation is... No matter how difficult the situation is... "
This sentence was repeated twice, as if to tell Yu Yulin and others that no matter how difficult the situation was, they could only survive, but in the end they couldn't find the words, and the weak eyes jumped a few times: "No matter how difficult the situation is... Brother Yu, You and Lou girl... Haha, today I said Lou girl, huh, rape first, then kill... Brother Yu, I said Lou girl is fierce and ugly, it's not true, look at Gusongyi, thanks to her, Jindi thanks to her ... Her previous experience, we won't talk about it, but ... what her brother did, no one did!"
Speaking of this, Tian Shi's eyes became serious again, and his voice raised a little, looking at Yu Yulin: "Jin is going to be in chaos, or there will be no more, so many people... Brother Yu, we are men. , I can't let these things happen again, although... Wanyan Zonghan is in front of me, there can't be more... can't happen again."
The sound came here, and blood was pouring out of Tian Shi's mouth. He stopped talking, leaned on the pillar, and stared wide. At this time, he had already realized the many tragedies that Jindi would have. He and Yu Yulin were still joking about Lou Shuwan a moment ago, maybe it was not a joke. That tragic situation, in the ten years since Jingping's shame, there have been countless tragedies in the Central Plains. However, this tragedy cannot be quelled by indignation. To defeat Wanyan Zonghan and Jurchen, unfortunately, how to defeat it
His emotions were agitated in this fierceness, and his life was quickly leaving him, Yu Yulin said, "I will never let these things happen..." But I don't know if Tian Shi heard it or not. After a while, Tian Shi's eyes closed and opened again, just staring at something in front of him.
He talked about other things in a weak tone: "... Uncle seems to be a hero, and he doesn't want to be a Jurchen. He said that one day he will rebel, but I only saw today that boiled frogs in warm water, how can he resist, I... I finally You have done something amazing, Brother Yu, the Tian family seem to be powerful, but in reality... Se Li Nei Ran. I... I do this, do I look... a little bit like?"
Tian Shi leaned there, with a smile and deep regret on his face at this time, his gaze seemed to be looking at the years to come, no matter whether the future was a struggle or peace, but it had finally solidified.
In Yu Yulin's heart there is a huge sadness. At this moment, this sadness is not for the cruel situation that follows, nor for the suffering that the world may suffer, but only for the man who was once lifted to the position of King of Jin in front of him. His road of resistance has just begun and has stopped. However, at this moment, in Yulin's eyes, even the tiger king Tianhu, who once reigned supreme and has been entrenched in Jin for more than ten years, is not as good as the little finger of the man in front of him. .
On the night of the 22nd day of the first lunar month in the tenth year of Jianshuo, at the third quarter of Hai, King Tianshi of Jin passed away quietly by leaning on the pillar under the eaves. With his longing and hope for the future, the last thing he looked at was still a dark night.
The next day, when Lou Shuwan arrived all the way to Lone Pine Station, she was swaying and her hair was messy. When she saw Yu Yulin, she rushed over and slapped him.
The death of Jin Wang Tianshi is about to bring a huge impact on the entire Central Plains.
On the 23rd day and night, the Jurchen camp.
Wanyan Xiyin was writing at her desk under the warm yellow light in the tent, handling her daily work.
Suddenly the wind blew, and the spies who came in from outside the tent confirmed the news of Tian Shi's death.
In the heaven and earth outside the tent, the white snow still hasn't melted in the slightest, but in a distant place, there seems to be the sound of a huge iceberg disintegrating, which is faintly heard...
