son-in-law

Chapter 989 Chapter [-] Lie Tide

The setting sun in early summer fell into the horizon, and the fields seemed to have waves burning.

Cloud Palace, the ancient and majestic city walls are hidden in this golden yellow, and the surrounding gates of vehicles and horses still seem prosperous.However, when the sun went down that day, the situation became tense.

At the city gates to the west and south, the merchants were restless, and most of the escorting escorts also took up arms.In the sun that engulfed the sky, the smoke of the wolf was rising in the distance.The guards went up the wall.

There were also soldiers gathered at the city gate, but there was no panic for a while.The northern land has been war-torn for a long time, and the cloud is the place of four battles. In the more than ten years after the Jin Kingdom destroyed the Liao Dynasty, the original soldiers have either become nobles, or have entered the market, and can run businesses and escort darts here. Most of them have been killed. Even if the war really comes, they are not necessarily timid, not to mention that the border soldiers are nervous, and there is a possibility that the wolf smoke is wrong.

Some people who are related have already leaned over to the city gate and wanted to inquire about some news, but more people saw that they would not be able to enter for a while, and gathered on the side of the road to chat and discuss each other, and some boasted about the experience of the war: " At that time, if you light the wrong wolf smoke, you will die."

"...Maybe it's some kind of rogue."

"Today's baby soldier..."

Such words continued until the cavalry who sent the message came galloping from the south of the field of vision, and after the horse that was almost foaming at the rider's whip entered the city, a message exploded in the crowd.

——Yanmenguan has been trapped, and Nangou has come.

The news of the fall of Yanmen Pass caused an uproar around the city, but what does the Nangou mean?Suddenly hearing this second half, everyone even wanted to laugh, but not long after, whispers came out, and some people remembered the great defeat thousands of miles away in March.

The distance between the cloud and the southwest is too far, and it is impossible for the army to send the battle report back from time to time.But in April, about the defeat of Wangyuan Bridge, the killing of Baoshan and the withdrawal of Zonghan's troops, the Jin Kingdom can finally know about it. This can only be regarded as phased news. The information will be pressed with suspicion, but there are always some people who can get such information from various channels.

The matter has not yet affected itself, and everyone is willing to wait and see for a while for negative information thousands of miles away.But at this moment, some well-informed merchants and escorts recalled this: Marshal Zonghan was defeated in the southwest, his sons were killed, and the wise man Gu Shen was defeated by the big devil who killed the king and rebelled in the south.It is said that the devil is a master at manipulating people's hearts and playing with strategy. Could it be that in line with the battle situation in the southwest, he also arranged for the back-hand of the Central Plains, to take advantage of the emptiness of Dajin's troops, and turn the army over?Directly invade the door and step home to get Yanyun?
Thousands of miles apart, after defeating Zonghan in the southwest, he immediately launched a counter-offensive in the Central Plains. Such a grand strategy, such an ambitious and overbearing strategy, and an aura that devoured the sky and the earth, in the past, people would not have thought about it at all. Yes, everyone in the far north didn't even know what the southwest was.

But it was also such a fog of information. At this moment when the battle in the southwest was still obscured, the news that the southerners broke through Yanmenguan immediately came, and many people couldn't help but associate it with it.

In the setting sun like golden splashes of ink, the warning gong has also sounded in Yunzhong City.

The wolf smoke from the south has been rising for some time.Over the years, the Jin Kingdom has been strong and strong, and although the land of Yanyun has never been peaceful, and after the collapse of the Liao Kingdom, it is difficult to stop the bandits and horse thieves. Can't handle too much wind and waves.It's not a big deal to see the wolf smoke a few times in the past, or the bandits conspired to murder people, lit a fire, or the hungry people stormed the military camp, and sometimes even the beacon smoke was lit by mistake, it is not surprising.

The city gate of Yunzhongfu has not been closed.It's just that the big families and big families have summoned their servants and private soldiers to avoid those who are scheming to take advantage of the chaos. They rode their horses quickly through the streets of the city, discussing and connecting with each other.

Most of these people's elders and relatives are in the army. They are watching the military situation in the southwest. The news of March has made everyone sleepless. Suddenly being slapped on his face by the news of "Southern Gou broke Yanmen Pass", his whole body trembled for it - most people realized that if this was the case, the matter might not be trivial.

Most of the civilians in the market still do not know what happened, and some of the noble children have begun to distribute knives, guns and armor to private soldiers at home.When Wanyan De rode his horse back to the palace, several young people had gathered in the palace, and they were exchanging information with his younger brother Wanyan Youyi in the side hall. The housekeepers also called for the guards.He greeted everyone, called someone to find his armor, and said, "It's been rushed, and the information is not clear at the moment. Brothers, don't mess up yourselves. Whether the people who killed him are from the Central Plains, it's not clear at the moment."

Wanyan Youyi has also put on soft armor: "You have killed Yanmen Pass from the south, if it is not from the Central Plains, who else can it be?"

"Yanmen Pass had already fallen this morning, and the warning could not be issued in time. The cavalry from the south chased and killed the fleeing guard soldiers, and broke through two posts one after another. It was only lit at Guanyun Post, which is forty miles north of Yanmen Pass. The beacon fire. The man who just fled into the city didn't say much, and the specific situation is still unclear."

"Fight forty miles before we can ignite the beacon... This group of soldiers and horses has a plan." A noble child next to him stood up, "Mother, you can't underestimate the enemy."

"It's just that there are thousands of defenders at Yanmen Pass, so why hasn't the news come out?"

"...Unless you break through the north gate with lightning speed after seizing the border, and cut off your way to the north?"

"...With an elite light cavalry, you have to fight very smoothly. However, Yanmen Pass has not been attacked by soldiers for a long time. A group of businessmen come and go, and it is hard to say that the guards are careless."

"...There are usually more than [-] troops stationed near Yanmen Pass. If the enemy army deceives the city gate from the south, and then goes north at a high speed, cutting the way, the more than [-] people will be blocked in Yanmen Pass, and they will fight to the death. It is a battle of trapped beasts, and the enemy needs to be a real elite, but where can the black flag in the Central Plains come from such an elite? If the enemy directly broke the level in the north, it may be somewhat credible."

"...If that's the case, the defenders can at least light the beacon tower. I think, could it be the people from Liangshan who killed it?"

"...Liangshan and Yanmenguan, not to mention thousands of miles apart, at least eight hundred miles."

"...There was speculation earlier that these people were entrenched on the East Road and had a bad life. Now they are blocked by King Lu in the north, and Zongfu Zongbi's army in the south is returning north. Sooner or later, they will die. Taking Yanmen by force, I think it is possible."

"...King Lu's eyeliner on the Central Plains is dead?"

"... Is the black flag really that powerful?"

This group of young people who are familiar with Wanyan Dezhong and Wanyan Youyi, most of their parents worked under Gu Shen, and many of them also studied in Xi Yin's private school, discussing tactics in their spare time. You look at me and say a word, speculating about the situation.It's unbelievable, but the more you think about it, the more likely it is.

Wanyan Youyi frowned and said, "At that time, there were only a few thousand people under this inner demon, and they killed the Emperor Wu Dynasty like a chicken, and then they fought from the northwest to the southwest, and today... Which of you would think of these things? Now? If he really took care of the battle in the southwest, he raided Yanmen thousands of miles away, this kind of handwriting..."

When he said this, he pulled the armor on his body and made a squeak, and everyone was horrified when they heard it.Although they did not pay attention to these matters in the past, they all knew the purpose of the expedition of their elders in their hearts.At the time of the expedition, Zong Han and Gu Shen were going to take this battle as the last battle for Jurchen to push the world, and they attached great importance to the southwest.

A group of young people do not know the specific reasons why the elders attach importance to the southwest.But as Zonghan kicked the iron plate and even killed his son by the opponent, the Gushen, who used to strategize in the past, was obviously defeated by the plan of the Han devil in the southwest. There is a standard of measurement.

And thinking that after the other party defeated the two founding heroes of Dajin in succession, they also arranged for an army thousands of miles away to carry out such a fierce offensive on the mainland of Jin. of.

Realizing this, the side hall even fell silent for a moment in suffocating silence, and someone said: "If this is the case, the Yunzhong Mansion should be under martial law as soon as possible. Since these people are quick to take light rides, they may be beaten. Ideas in the cloud."

"The city is closed and martial law is imposed, and the boss must make a decision when the time comes."

"I'm afraid the boss is too cautious..."

In the discussion of the crowd, the family members and private soldiers gathered outside, and it was also very lively. Wanyan Dezhong and Wanyan Youyi walked aside and discussed in a low voice, how to ask the mother about this matter.

Mother Chen Wenjun is the "Mrs. Han" in other people's mouths. She usually takes care of the Han people in the south. Everyone knows this, and the two brothers also protect their mothers a lot.But at that time, the Jurchen had the upper hand, and Mrs. Xi Yin showed kindness, and no one dared to speak.When the "Nangou" killed Yanmen Pass at this time, what will everyone's perception of "Mrs. Han", or, what is the mother's own attitude towards this matter?Both brothers are filial people, and they are a little entangled in this matter.

In the middle of the tumult, I saw a few figures coming from the side of the hall, and everyone in the room got up one after another, and then saluted.

It was Chen Wenjun who came over.

Wanyan Dezhong and Wanyan Youyi also reacted, and hurriedly stepped forward to say goodbye, but saw Chen Wenjun raised his eyebrows and swept over a dozen young people in the room: "Okay, you are still making noise here. What? Marshal Zong Han led the army to go out, and the Yunzhong Mansion was empty. Now the wolf smoke has started. Although the news ahead has not yet been confirmed, since you are noble children, you should hurry up and prepare for battle. Did you just start getting dressed?"

Her words were clear, and she looked at the son beside her: "Dezhong, you should count the number of people and materials in your family. As soon as there is further news, report the situation in the house to the city guards immediately. When you go there, the eldest man will wait for you. Dispatch, learn to do things. If you have etiquette, you will lead someone to stay at home first."

Wanyan De said seriously: "Yes." Wanyan Youyi had some opinions on this arrangement, and called out, "Mother..." Chen Wenjun's gaze was swept away, and she was silent.

I saw her swept her eyes to the others: "You also go home, so be prepared so that you can be dispatched. Remember everything, when the time comes, you will do what you do, and there must be no disobedience. Come here, I heard that when you were talking, the boss, if you really fight and go to the battlefield, this kind of thing will never happen again. Remember it for me!?"

Everyone hurriedly agreed, then said goodbye and left, each went home to make detailed statistics.After everyone left, Dezhong and Youyi went to their mother's side, and the three walked in the corridor illuminated by the setting sun.Wanyan Dezhong hesitated for a long time and couldn't help but said, "Mother, if the caller this time is really a Han from the south..."

They saw their mother staring at the flowers outside the Langyuan Garden in front of them, and sighed: "I've been with your father for so many years, and the people from the Central Plains really came over, so what can you do? Prepare yourself. When the enemy comes, you should fight hard, that's all. Okay, go ahead and do a man's business."

She patted her two sons on the shoulders, Wanyan Dezhong left first, Wanyan Youyi followed for a while, and soon after, went to arrange and dispatch the family guards.Chen Wenjun walked through the courtyard of the mansion, and after a while, he went to the high place in the palace, watching the surroundings of Yunzhong City, the sunset turned from golden to red, and was being engulfed by the west sky. Lighted up, she remembered the land of the Han family that she had left many years ago.

Did the Han people really kill them?

Not long ago, Shi Liai and Tang Minjie also warned her about her location. The news of Xie Bao's murder last month shocked her for a long time. Today, the news of Yanmen Pass being breached has really made people feel that heaven and earth are all over the place. changed.

It's been too long since she came here, until she had a child, until she got used to this world, until she had gray hair on her temples, until she suddenly felt that there would never be a day when she returned to the South For a long time, she once thought that the general trend of the world was really just like this.

The wooden railings at the top of the attic were a little hot from the sun, and her palms touched it, and she even felt a little kind.These were things of the North, she had lived with them for so long, what was the South like?Pavilions, lofts, small bridges and flowing water, her memory is not very clear, and she has seen countless sad things.

The inner demon Ning Yi repelled Wanyan Zonghan, and the husband and the others seemed to be powerless. Now, the Yanmen Pass has been broken. Are these really the handwriting of the monarch-killer in the south?
She thought of Tang Minjie and looked at Yunzhong City where the crowd gathered around. What was he doing at this time?Such a crazy black flag member, but he is only crazy because of pain, if the inner demon Ning Yi in the south is also crazy - perhaps even more crazy and terrible - then he defeated Zong Han and Gu Shen. , it doesn't seem so unimaginable...

"...If one day, the Han people defeated the Jurchens, and Yan Ran was already restrained, where should you go back?"

The madman's words seemed to ring in her ears, and she sighed softly.Some things in the world are terrifying, and she didn't even know whether she should expect or not to expect the Han Chinese to actually kill her, so she could only think about it and put the problem aside for the time being. later.The atmosphere in the city is chilling, and chaos is about to break out. Maybe that madman is also happily destroying.

She could almost clearly reproduce the other party's excitement in her mind.

That's all, since she came to the Northland, the world she saw was all chaotic, one more lunatic, one less lunatic, what can she do, she doesn't care anymore...

In a short while, the second and third information came one after another towards the cloud.Although the identity of the enemy is doubtful, in the afternoon, the horse team is advancing towards Yunzhong, and it has been confirmed that several military camps and road cards have been pulled.The other party's intention points directly to the cloud.

At [-] o'clock, Shi Li Ai issued an order to close the four gates, impose martial law on the city, and mobilize the army.Although the news has begun to suspect that it is not the Black Flag Army who attacked Yanmen Pass, the news about "the Nangou has come" is still spreading in the city. Chen Wenjun sat in the attic watching the little firelight, knowing that Come down, it will be a sleepless night in the clouds...

　Didn't expect it to be updated today.

I recently watched the TV series "A Song of Ice and Fire". The excitement in the early stage of the TV gave me some inspiration, and the distortion of the script after the author left in the later period gave me a great warning, so I took a detailed look at my son-in-law before and after. , made some adjustments... Well, it's not interesting to say these anyway, everyone knows that in the next few days, I think I can even update it, haha.

Every two days at least...
