The sky was gloomy, and at the end of the first month, snow was all over the place, and the wind blowing through the city was becoming cold.
Gaizhou Spring opened the warehouse, the towering outer wall was covered with ice ridges, like a fortress, the white silk of mourning hung around the warehouse, and the patrolling soldiers walked past the wall with red tassel spears.
On the side road outside the warehouse, a group of soldiers rode back. The leader was the general Weicheng, who was guarding Chunpingcang. He rode on a horse and was restless. When approaching the gate of the warehouse, I only heard the sound of rumbling, and the ice ridges between the nearby houses fell and shattered on the road. Spring has arrived, which is the most common scenario in recent times.
Before reaching the gate, he was about to order the soldiers inside to lower the gate when the soldier above suddenly became alert and pointed forward. At the other end of the avenue, a figure came, first the cavalry, then the infantry, crowding the spacious road.
The leader of the general had a mild expression, and first took out the token: "But the general of the Acropolis? Chang Ning's army Guan Song, in the name of Lord An, help to defend the spring and close the warehouse."
"Changning army." Weicheng's face was gloomy, "How can Changning army take care of the matter of Chunping? I only listen to Master Fang's orders."
"The wartime decree, with the army at the head, Chunpingcang is an important place for military storage, and now there are Jurchen spies who want to sabotage secretly, and this general is here. You have also nodded, if you don't believe it, you can ask."
"If there is no order..."
"The situation is critical! I won't have time to linger with you here, open the door quickly!"
A cold light flashed, and the generals on the horse had already drawn out their steel knives, followed by rows of knights' long knives unsheathed, and the spear formation in the rear was like a forest, pointing to the small group of people in the Acropolis. The soldiers in the Chunping warehouse had already moved, and the cold wind whimpered, blowing across the sky of Gaizhou.
Acropolis looked at the blade. The soldiers on the wall behind pulled up their bows and arrows, but they still looked thin in front of the overwhelming army. His expression fluctuated in front of the blade, and after a while, he reached out and drew the blade, pointing forward.
"Gaizhou is at the rear, and Chunpingcang is in the city again... The King of Jin has just left, do you want to rebel?"
The cold front confronted, and on the long street, murderous aura filled the air...
…
On the twenty-first day of the first lunar month, on the twenty-second day, Tianshi, the king of Jin, died, and the news spread throughout Jin. For the next few days, the atmosphere on the north bank of the Yellow River was chilling and the situation was chaotic. The undercurrents under the water had become so intense that they could not be suppressed. Officials and forces, large and small, made their own choices in apprehension. .
Jiaocheng, it is about to rain.
Lin Zongwu stood under the eaves with his hands behind his back. The huge figure was like a god and Buddha, giving the old man who was drinking tea not far away a huge sense of oppression.
"After Tian Shi left, people's hearts were uncertain. On this side, the people who have been in contact with each other recently have their own ghosts. Some want to win this seat, some want to depend on this seat, and some persuade this seat to surrender to Jurchen. Elder Chang, Ben There has been a fire in your heart recently, you asked me to go to Wasion, what was your idea?"
"No bad intentions, no bad intentions, sect master!" The old man surnamed Chang in the room waved his hand and tried to clarify his intentions, "Think about it, sect master, twenty-one, Jindi Zhujiahuimeng, twenty-two, Jin The king died at the hands of the Jurchens, and Shu Wan, a woman in the Weisheng tower, was in charge. She was ruthless and her eyes were shallow. Although Yu Yulin had an army in his hands, he couldn’t control the forces of all parties, and Jindi would be in chaos…”
The old man bowed his hands: "My Chang family has been operating in Jin for many years, and I also want to protect myself, sect master. Jin is chaotic and life is ruined. How can my family be an exception. Therefore, even if the king of Jin has gone, someone will be forced to take over. Panzi. Not to mention that the family of the King of Jin is now headed by a woman, and there is no one who can convince the public. Although Wang Juyun's chaos division was called a million at the beginning, he was an outsider, and the million beggars were also scattered and defeated. The Black Flag Army has some reputation , but there are only ten thousand people, how can they stabilize the situation in Jindi. Ji Qingli and other thieves have blood on their hands, and the alliance is just a bonus. Only the sect leader has Da Guangming to teach millions of followers, regardless of martial arts or reputation, he can convince the audience.
"Humph." Lin Zongwu snorted coldly, "Wei Sheng is in a mess, and I'll go to take part again, wouldn't it be even more messy! Old Chang, Jurchen is coming, please protect yourself, I'm afraid you're not a traitor! "
"Sect Master, it's absolutely impossible, it's absolutely impossible, the Chang family is also a person with a head and a face. If you spread this word, my Chang family has not been stabbed in the spine and scolded by someone in Jindi..." The old man said, kneeling on the ground anxiously. Persuading, "Sect Master, you suspect that I am normal, but... In any case, the situation of Wasion has to be sorted out. In this way, if you don't want to be in that position, at least go to Wasion, as long as you show up, everyone will have the backbone... "
Lin Zongwu looked back at him, and after a while: "I don't care what your idea is, come here to speak bluntly, I don't want to pursue it today. But Elder Chang, your whole family is here, if one day, I know that you are here today for the Jurchen. Come... No matter when you are, I will let your whole family stay."
After he said this sentence word by word, the old man kneeling on the ground shook his body, and then he did not argue any more. Lin Zongwu said: "Go, Elder Chang, I have no other intentions, you don't have to take it too seriously."
The old man got up to leave, and finally hesitated: "Sect Master, when will you..."
"Go away!" Lin Zongwu's voice was like thunder, gritted his teeth and said, "This seat's decision is honored to interrupt you!?"
After this sentence, the old man ran away. Lin Zongwu stood there with his hands on his back, and after a while, Wang Nanda came in and saw Lin Zongwu's expression was unprecedentedly complicated.
"It is going to rain."
He said this in a low voice.
Soon after, it started to rain. Cold bites.
…
The huge ship is slowly sinking.
Heshun.
Gradually into the night, in the small city, the chaotic atmosphere is spreading.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The heavy sound was rhythmically sounding as the hammer struck. In the blazing yard, the steel knives were being formed, Shi Jin was shirtless. , watching the sparks splashing from the blade blank in front of him, he, like several other blacksmiths, buried his head in the process of forming the steel blade in front of him.
A small group of rebels, centered on his call, temporarily gathered here.
One of the lieutenants of the rebel army who followed Shi Jin was named Li Honggu, a companion who followed Shi Jin from Chifeng Mountain. At this time, she was gathering more than a hundred people of this rebel army outside. Entering the iron yard, Shi Jin sat beside him, wiped the sweat on his body with a towel, and took a short rest. He had a sturdy back, countless scars on his body, and his indifferent eyes looked at the flames, which was the breath of iron and blood.
"Dragon King, people have gathered."
"Oh." The light in Shi Jin's eyes softened, and he raised his head, "Is anyone leaving?"
"Everyone just asks Dragon King where do you want to go."
"I figured it out..." Shi Jin said, paused, and then said, "Let's go to Wasion."
The woman nodded, frowned a little, and finally couldn't help but say: "Dragon King didn't say that he doesn't want to be near that kind of place..."
After Chifeng Mountain, especially after Lin Chong's death, Shi Jin was no longer willing to participate in large and complex power struggles, and he also had a lot of taboos about King Jin's power core prestige - of course, he was not willing to borrow his power from others. Fame does some good things, but he doesn't care. Although he only has more than 100 people under Fenyang, he is famous. Tian Shi specially invited him. Although he didn't go, he also sent a representative to do his best. support this.
Now that Tian Shifang is dead, and the king of Jin has no leader, the situation of Wasion is the most sensitive. Li Honggu didn't understand why Shi Jin suddenly changed his mind, so she asked, only to see Shi Jin stood up, nodded slightly, and said, "Go save people."
"Rescue?"
"Well... King Jin died fighting against gold, and now the situation is in ruins. Those who follow him will probably be liquidated in the future. General Yu, and the female prime minister Lou Shuwan, they follow Tian Shi's side. Now The situation is probably quite critical.”
In the light of the fire, Shi Jin put on his clothes and picked up the iron rod: "The King of Jin died fighting against gold, and I can't wait for it. These loyal ministers should not suffer bad luck again. Although I am not good at military affairs, But there is always a life, and if Wasion is in a bad situation and falls into chaos, I will risk my life, at least to protect them comprehensively."
"... I think, if Zhou Lao hero were still alive, he would have done the same thing."
The figure of the Dragon King left the iron yard, flickering in the light. He explained his thoughts in front of more than 100 men gathered outside, and gave them a chance to choose again.
No one chooses to leave.
That night, the group left Heshun and embarked on the road to Wasion. The light of the torches swayed on the ground in the night, and in the following days, people came to Weisheng because of the name of the eight-armed dragon king. Like the remaining sparks of fire, in the dark night, it emits its own light...
…
Wasion, the black cloud overwhelms the city and wants to destroy it.
The Tianji Palace occupies a vast area. However, after Tian Shi personally went to war last year, Lou Shuwan drastically cut down all unnecessary expenses in the palace. At this time, the huge palace looked empty and cold.
After returning to Wasion, Lou Shuwan first killed Tian Shi's father Tian Biao, and then chose a useless side hall to work in the Tianji Palace. Since last year's anti-golden campaign, too many people have been killed and too much blood has been shed in this palace. Sometimes, when looking out from the door, one will feel that this huge palace is like a mythical creature, with countless lonely and wild ghosts outside. Wandering for life.
The whole situation is sliding into the abyss.
If it was Lou Shuwan in the late Tian Hu era, her power was based on the common interests of the system. When Tian Hu was thinking about killing her, under the covert activities of the Huaxia Army and the guarantee of Yu Yulin's military strength, Cooperating with the huge interest chain in the whole system, Lou Shuwan completed the feat of killing Tian Hu and pushed Tian Shi to power by the way.
With the help of Tian Shi and Yu Yulin to set up the stage, Lou Shuwan promoted the resistance to gold, but it was also a move of resistance to gold, which broke the chain of interests in the Jinwang system that was originally a community. Tian Shi's perk increased his control over the army, which was then lost with Tian Shi's death. Now Lou Shuwan no longer has a heavy profit trump card in her hands. She can only rely on some brave warriors who are determined to resist the gold, and the Jin army in Yu Yulin's hands.
However, even among those who are determined to resist gold, many actually don't mind Lou Shuwan's downfall.
So from the separation of Gusong Station, Yu Yulin began to mobilize his troops to snatch supplies in various places, lobby and deter various forces, and ensure that he can grab the basic plate in his hands. Lou Shuwan returned to Weisheng and entered the Tianji Palace with a decisive attitude. Of course, she could not rule the Jin faction for too long with such a posture, but the decisiveness and madness in the past can still shock some people, at least seeing Lou Shuwan put A sensible person can understand: even if she can't kill everyone in front of her, at least the first force in front of her will be swallowed alive by this crazy woman.
The Jurchen forces have long been active within the Jin faction.
Although the heavy snow still hasn't melted, and the Jurchen troops pressing down from the north have not yet launched their offensive, the attack will come sooner or later. As long as you understand this, under the huge blow of Tian Shi's death, there are too many forces that have begun to choose to turn against the Jurchens. Although some forces have not expressed their position, they have already begun to actively seize control of various passes, cities, or material storage. The generals of some large and small families in the army have begun to re-state their positions, and divisions and conflicts have unfolded silently and violently. In the past few days, the news reports from all over the world are frightening.
This is the coercion of the general trend. Under the pressure of the Jurchen army, it is like the snow melting in the spring sun, and it is difficult to resist. Over the past few days, Lou Shuwan has been constantly re-dividing the ownership of each force in her heart, dispatching personnel or lobbying or threatening, hoping to save enough chips and vitality. But even the defenders near Wasion are already splitting and lining up.
Zhan Wu of the Huaxia Army is also running in it—in fact, the Huaxia Army is also one of the cards behind her. If there is no such flag standing here, and they can't take refuge in the Jurchen, I am afraid that several big families near Wasion have already begun to use it. The swordsman spoke.
On February 2, the dragon looked up. That night, it rained in Wasion City. At night, all the snow on the trees and on the eaves had already fallen. When the snow and ice began to melt, it was so cold that it went deep into the bone marrow. It was also that night that someone quietly entered the palace, and a message came: "... Mr. Liao sent a message and wanted to talk about... "
When Lou Shuwan killed Tian Hu, there were three major families in the Jin family. Obstructed, Lou Shuwan led the army to slaughter the Yuan clan. Up to now, the Liao family and the Tang family have made moves in both the military and political parties, but the one who wants to lower the gold is mainly dominated by the Liao family. Now that I want to talk about it, the scale of the private series should be quite impressive.
Lou Shuwan took a breath.
"Okay, let's talk then."
The cold rain is falling in every part of this dark palace city. Outside this palace city, countless confrontations have already taken shape, and violent and fierce confrontations may begin at any time.
rivers of blood...
The huge ship is sinking.
************
Jurchen, Shuri Speed Camp.
Wanyan Xiyin and General Shu rushed out of the central military tent and saw that the entire military camp was already being sorted out. He threw up his hands to Shuresu.
"The ice and snow haven't melted, and the attack has been rushed. However, Jin is already chaotic, and a heavy hit can force them to make an early decision." After a brief pause, he added: "The Black Flag Army is quite powerful, but there are If the general makes a move, he must bring it from his hand. This battle is the key, the general should take care."
On the face of Shu Lisu, there was only a high-spirited fighting spirit: "If you can't defeat him, Shu Lisu will raise his head and see you."
The freeze has not been resolved, and in an instant, it is the light of the sky and the thunder and fire, and the ten-year war of Jianshuo has been unfolded in an omnipotent manner.
