Chapter 847: The bleak autumn wind surges up ([-])

It was also the sixth day of the Southwest War. On the mountain road outside Jishan County, there were various flags gathered one after another.

Correspondingly, there was the black flag of the Huaxia Army in Jishan County. Ning Yi was still wearing a green robe. He came from Hedeng County to meet the leaders of this team.

The battle with the Wuxiang army continued in the mountains to the northeast. In Liangshan, various tribes who had participated in the Xiaohuiling meeting began to send troops, and the destination of the troops was the once prosperous Mangshan Ni people.

This is an internal struggle of the Ni nationality. For thousands of years, the struggle among the various tribes of the Ni nationality that has flourished in Liangshan is barbaric and cruel, and it is not enough for outsiders.But it has also developed a fierce and brave folk style. After the alliance in Xiaohuiling, the Huaxia Army can recruit some warriors from the Ni people to join the army, and the two sides will also carry out more and more in-depth cooperation and exchanges. The process of assimilation may be It's long, but at least it's off to a good start, and the rear as smooth as possible.

Along with Ning Yi, there were also the mistress Su Tan'er, who was able to take a little vacation recently, as well as Ning Xi, Ning Ji and other children.For a long time, the material situation of Hedengsan County has not been able to be said to be abundant, and in many cases, it has to supply the Dayang tribe of Tubo, and the logistics has always been tight.Especially when the state of war was unfolding, Ning Yi had to force many Ni people to stand in line, so he could only wait for the right moment to take action. In fact, he has always struggled with the materials at hand.

On this level, Lu Qiaoshan's strategy of trying to use up the Huaxia Army as much as possible is not unreasonable.Of course, no matter who it is, they will have to face the consequences of the Huaxia Army being forced to the last resort. This consequence, even the Jurchen today, is probably extremely difficult to bear.

Blockade with all your strength, gather allies, extend the front line, and fortify the wall to clear the field.If the Wu Dynasty can achieve this level of determination in encircling and suppressing the black flag, then the Huaxia Army, which has insufficient reserves and resources, may really face the possibility of full blown cards and a lose-lose situation.However, with only 10 people coming to attack, at the moment Xiaohuiling fell, all of this had already been decided, so there was no need to think about it.

Ning Yi and Su Tan'er also relaxed briefly.

Outside the county town, they said goodbye to the Ni people who came to join their divisions symbolically. Ning Yi and Tan'er walked along the foot of the mountain. There were jagged trees next to them. The sun would fall from above. Ning Xi and Ning Ji, etc. The child visited the injured Su Wenfang in the city, but never followed.The city looks prosperous and weird under the field of vision. The houses of earth and bricks are alternated, the waterwheel turns, and the factories are busy. The fence divides the city into different areas. Black smoke columns rise. There are no gardens. The city also looks a little dull.

"Remember Jiangning's yard?" Ning Yi asked as he walked away.

"Why don't you remember the place where you grew up." Along the road, Tan'er's pace was light and her dress was simple, but when Ning Yi asked this question, she still faintly showed the smile of the past.At that time, Ning Yi woke up not long ago. She escaped from marriage and came back from the outside. The brocade dress, white dress, red cape, self-confidence and bright, have now settled into her body.

"I haven't seen it in years."

"I still went back after I entered Beijing, but it's been more than ten years since Xiaocanghe, Northwest, and here again." Tan'er raised her head, "What are you talking about?"

"The firecrackers in the Spring Festival, the lanterns in the Shangyuan Festival, the Qingloufang Market, the boats on the Qinhuai River... I sometimes think of it, and I feel like I have robbed you of a lot of things." Ning Yi took her hand, "Well, it's true. I stole a lot of stuff."

Tan'er glanced at him, but just smiled: "When I was a teenager, when I looked at those, I really felt that I couldn't live without it for the rest of my life. But since the family sells things, I also thought that one day I would have everything. No, in fact, after getting married and having a child, there is nothing that will stay the same in your life. If you want to go to Beijing, I will go to Beijing with you. Originally, you will never stay in Jiangning. Later, you will go to Xiaocanghe, and now you are in Liangshan. It's a bit strange to think about, but it's been like this all my life... Why did Xiang Gong suddenly talk about this?"

"Well... I just remembered it suddenly. I had a dream last night. I dreamed that we used to chat upstairs."

"The building is on fire." Tan'er stopped, raised her chin and looked at him, "My husband forgot? I burned it myself."

"Yes, yes." Ning Yi laughed.

Tan'er let go of his hand and walked forward slowly. Her figure has not changed much over the years, but a woman in her 30s has lost the sweetness of her 20s, replaced by the restraint of a mother and the restraint of a wife. At this time, there is also the tenacity of going through so many journeys: "After all, the building was burnt down, so we could live together, and now we have Xi'er. Although I didn't want to know what would happen after it burned down, But the building is always on fire. Jiangning always has to go out. I am in Hedeng, and sometimes I feel bored, but after thinking about it, it seems nothing strange to walk out of Jiangning and then out of the capital. But you... "

She folded her arms around her chest, turned her head and glared at Ning Yi: "Ning Rentu! What are you going to do again?"

"The lady is very discerning." Ning Yi smiled brighter, "After all, I've been here for so long..."

"Who's going to be unlucky again?"

"This morning, Wen Yu asked to go to Wuxiang Army to negotiate."

"Ah?" Tan'er's face changed suddenly, and she frowned.

"Based on the long-term analysis and judgment of Lu Qiaoshan, in this case, Wen Yu will be fine. Don't worry, Wen Fang is injured, and Wen Yuba has no choice but to kill them. He can negotiate and get the greatest benefit. This is his own reason to ask for the past. However, I want to say more than this, we have been shrinking in Liangshan long enough..." He paused, "It's time to go out."

Tan'er was silent for a moment: "Is it time?"

"I've been holding my tail here for several years, and until now, any clown who jumps on the beam will come to tease it. The Wu Dynasty has reached this level and dares to send Lu Qiaoshan over, and I should teach them a lesson... When will I fall? I've become a dumb person." Ning Yi frowned and shook his head.

"But... Xianggong said the reason for not going out before."

"Yes." Ning Yi walked forward and took Su Tan'er's hand, "Conquering a place can rely on force. The black flag has tens of thousands of people. If I really want to go all out, I can kill a Wu Dynasty. But The assimilation of a place can only rely on the context. In the years between Xiaocanghe and Hedeng, they said that everyone is equal, democracy, republic, capital, investigation of things, and even the great harmony of the world. They really put it among thousands of people in the Wu Dynasty. , these things will be gone, after all...their life is still passable."

"The fire that was lit by the Black Flag Army, after earnestly speaking for ten years, is just a spark. If you really want to pull it out, the only useful thing is probably to shout that everyone is equal to kill the rich and divide the land. Zuo Duanyou left. Sometimes I joked with him, saying that if the world is really against me, I will start calling for equality and equalization of land. But ah, if the world is going to get better in the end, before it gets better, we must acknowledge the current differences."

"Correcting the wrong will inevitably lead to over-correcting. If the government is returned to the people under the current circumstances, the cultural context will be cut off. Today's Confucian system is cut off, but it's okay to cut off the respect for culture and wisdom, and the literati's self-esteem cannot be cut off. Going to the right path, stupid people's speech is unreliable, and wisdom must be the core in the end. I at least guarantee that in the new era, people will understand the weight of culture, and literati can recognize this weight and recognize themselves. Even because of this responsibility, in the face of power, you can be unyielding and pay the price for the truth.”

"Murdering and punishing hearts is very simple, just tell everyone in the world that you are all the same, having wisdom is the same as having no wisdom, reading is the same as not reading, I will break through the Wu Dynasty, and even break through the Jurchen, unify the world, and then kill everyone. The opponents of the literati. After killing one group and killing another group, after a few more times, the rest will all kneel down. But...the future will also kneel down, no longer have bones, they can do it for the sake of Doing things for money, doing things for the good, and the culture in their hands has no weight on them. How can people trust them when they are in doubt?”

"Let people understand reason and give everyone the power to choose. We hope that everyone can be at the helm. But if cultural self-esteem is broken, even if you understand reason, it is impossible to make the right choice after the information is deceived. In the future, we will I will go back to the old road again. I kill the Wu Dynasty and establish another Wu Dynasty, why bother? The literati have bones, which makes people very headache, but for an era to change for the better, there must be literati with bones. It's something...I can't care less."

The two went down the mountain road, and many people followed in the distance. Tan'er smiled: "Xianggong's words have been heard, and they will say that you are bragging."

"It's best to keep an eye on the scenery, and you have to plan ahead." Ning Yi also smiled, "But now the time is almost up, let's go out a little bit... The most important thing is that the defeated must cut their meat, so as to be an example. On the other hand, the Jurchen is going south, and the Wu Dynasty may not be able to stop it. There is not much time for us, and there is no way to do it. Let's pull out a few cities first and see the effect. I asked Yong Jinnian to write something. thing……"

"So, can you go out for the New Year this year?"

"Hopefully have a good year..."

The couple walked all the way and said some more words. When they reached the mountainside, they saw a few people coming up the road below. Tan'er smiled and pointed to an old man in front: "Here, Master Yong."

This old man's name is Yong Jinnian, a scholar who was introduced by Zuo Duanyou, and is now in charge of compiling some books in Jishan.The two sides greeted each other, and Ning Yi went straight to the point: "Master Yong, please come here because I hope to pick up your pen and write an essay for the Huaxia Army."

"Xiwen?" The old man's eyes lit up.

"Yeah, the meaning is probably... Since the Jinghan Dynasty, the rise of the Jurchen, the world is in turmoil, and the survival of the Central Plains and the Huaxia nation has been threatened. Sprinkling blood, although he died without mercy... During the Jianshuo period, the Central Plains fell into the hands of the Golden Thieves, the Huaxia Army fought against the enemy for three years in the northwest, and successively defeated the forces of the Puppet Qi and the Jin Kingdom, which amounted to one million, and killed the Jurchen general Lou Shi. , I did not lose my words, but because I missed the fate behind me, I went south..."

……

The wind of late autumn has been blowing, and Liangshan still looks warm.In the Wuxiang army camp, after Su Wenyu proposed to let the Wuxiang army surrender unconditionally, the two sides announced the breakdown of the first negotiation in their own bad words.

Su Wenyu turned around and left, waving his hand.

"Then let's fight for two more days!"

Soon, the black military flag spread, and the mountains and plains attacked the territory of the Wuxiang army.

The war will continue, and soon, Brother Lang will get the news that the Mangshan Department is besieged and attacked by the army...

……

"...Since the Huaxia Army came to Xiaoliang Mountain, I have lived and cultivated, trembling with fear. Inside, I have never committed any crimes against the local people. Outside, I have used contracts and integrity as the standard for dealing with others. I have never bullied or owed others. Since the replacement of the new king in the Wu Dynasty, The Huaxia Army has always maintained restraint and goodwill, but now, this restraint and goodwill have been misunderstood by people. Some people regard the goodwill of our army as weakness! In the ninth year of Wu Jianshuo, Jurchen Zongfu and Zongbi stared at Jiangnan. Facing the scourge of extermination of the famous family, the Wu Dynasty, with 10 Wuxiang troops brazenly attacking, would rather be in the most prosperous situation of foreign aggression, disregarding the calamity of annihilation, and fight each other with each other, and fight against each other—"

……

In the Central Plains to the north of the Yangtze River, the hungry ghosts are still expanding and destroying everything they can see. Bianliang has been besieged for several months. do.Near Bianliang, countless cities encountered the same bad luck.

Ali Gu led the army to attack, defeated and slaughtered the hungry ghost troops that encountered it several times. Several armies that once belonged to the Puppet Qi were also trying their best to resist the attack of the hungry ghosts. In this autumn, there are millions of people or hungry ghosts. Died, or killed on this land, the corpse stench spread, and the plague began to spread.But the number of hungry ghosts is still expanding at an unstoppable rate.

Wang Shitong, who was attacked by hunger and illness, was already crazy, and he commanded a huge army of hungry ghosts to attack every place he could see: there were too many people, and he didn't mind letting the hungry ghosts waste as much as possible on the battlefield. .And the food is already too low, even if the city is captured, the people who follow cannot be full for too long. Wherever the hungry ghosts go, the bark and grass roots on the mountains have been eaten up. Autumn has passed, and even a little fruit is gone. Re-existing, people set up pots, boiled water, and began to devour the same kind around them.

Some of the pseudo-Qi warlords who controlled the territory even tried to make way and let the hungry ghosts go south, but the hungry ghosts chose to attack the city like a sea of ​​people.Jiangnan is too far away, they can only grab every grain in front of them.

The small, thin, and skinny people walked all the way, and there were no tears in their tears. Despair accompanied them, and bit by bit, as the coolness swept through, they were about to saturate this hell on earth.

unstoppable.

The [-] elites of the Black Flag avoided this desperate tide and were still rushing to Xuzhou.

……

"...For the shortsightedness and stupidity of our neighbors, the Huaxia Army will not sit back and condone. For all incoming enemies, our army will give a head-on blow... Now the Wuxiang Army has been defeated, in order to ensure the survival of the Huaxia Army, Guarantee the survival and interests of the residents of Liangshan, and ensure that the Huaxia Army has always maintained business and exchanges with all parties. On the premise that the Wu Dynasty can no longer maintain the above items, the Huaxia Army will use its own strength to ensure that our side faces east, north, etc. The safety of various business roads. Under the premise of the total surrender of the Wuxiang army, we will take over the garrison tasks from Liangshan to the east, north, and Zizhou as the boundary..."

Ning Yi said this, Yong Jinnian, who was beside him, raised his head and opened his mouth...

……

In Daming Mansion, Li Xizhi led an army of 17 troops to the city. At the same time, Zhu Biao led an army of [-] Huaxia troops across the mountains, heading straight for the bank of the Yellow River where Li Xizhi was.

The drums of war sounded like thunder, and the flags were like the sea. The 17 troops formed an array, majestic and chilling, giving people the impression that they cannot be shaken, but 1 people have already come straight here.

"...Arrogant child, you really dare to go to war with our army!"

Li Xizhi, who was preparing the army to attack the city, was also stunned for a while after confirming the route. At this time, the forward of the Jurchen 30 army had already passed Zhending, three hundred miles away from Daming Mansion.

On the second day after the Jurchen army crossed the border in Zhending, an attack against the Jurchen logistics force broke out in Zhending. At the same time, there was an explosion in the old house of the Qi family in Zhending City, followed by a fire that spread. Green forest characters are fighting in this old house.The assassination of Qi Yan has already been launched, but due to the Qi family's long-term business here, a large number of generals and green forest warriors have been collected, and the assassination of the inside and outside has finally failed to kill Qi Yan.

Qi Yan's two sons, a grandson and some relatives died in the assassination.After this large-scale assassination, Qi Yan traveled north with countless wealth and relatives, and settled in Yunzhong Mansion run by Marshal Zong Han, Xi Yin and others the following year.

These people have never returned to the Central Plains since then...

……

"...Our army sent troops this time, firstly, to protect the interests of the Huaxia Army from being infringed on the business road, and secondly, it was a small punishment for the many clowns in the Wu Dynasty. The Huaxia Army will strictly abide by the military regulations in the past, and Every city and every place wishes to the Chinese people not to commit any crimes, not to disturb the people, not to demolish their houses, not to destroy their fields. After this incident, if the Wu Dynasty suddenly wakes up, the Huaxia Army will uphold a peaceful and friendly attitude, and will negotiate with the Wu Dynasty for damages and compensation. After the Wu Dynasty promised the interests of the Huaxia Army in various places, properly discuss the jurisdiction issues of Zizhou and other cities in various places..."

"...Since the establishment of the Huaxia Army, it has been well behaved and friendly to its neighbors, and has always been supported and helped by many enlightened people. For example, Li Chengmao (Li Xiannong) in Lingnan, etc. , running every day, working hard... er, I will add a few more names later... just because all people with lofty ideals are aware, foreign aggression is ahead, and the overthrow is imminent, only the survival of all ethnic groups in China is the most important thing in the world today. Let go of the contradictions and join hands with one heart, the talents of China can defeat the Jurchen, restore the Central Plains, and prosper the land of China... The people of China will not forget them, and history will leave their names and thank them. Mirror mirror, it's not too late."

"...Here, the Huaxia Army promises that everything it does will focus on the interests of China, and it will never start a dispute with the Wu Dynasty first. I hope this sincerity will make the Wu Dynasty turn back. At the same time, anyone who violates China will Those who benefit are all the enemies of our Huaxia Army. For the enemy, the Huaxia Army will never indulge or tolerate them. I hope that there will be no such incidents that make relatives hurt and enemies happy. Otherwise, this incident will be Forewarning."

Ning Yi paused and added the last sentence.

"Don't say it's unpredictable."

……

In early August, after several years of quiet dormancy in the southwest, the black flag came out of Liangshan.

On the bank of the Yellow River, a fierce battle against Li Xizhi's 17 troops began. This was the beginning of a series of blocking battles against the Jurchen army in the North. Within three days, the Yellow River boiled and stained with blood, and the river was cut off by sinking corpses!
