Chapter 641 The Great Wheel of Life and Death in the Ningdong Snow Sea ([-])

Mou Tuogang.

The heavy snow stopped temporarily, and the wind was not strong. In the Jurchen camp surrounded by water on three sides, piles of bonfires were burning vigorously in the camp.In the large tent in the center, charcoal fires were burning in six iron basins. The surrounding decorations, furs, knives and guns, as well as the personnel in the place, set off everything in a majestic and majestic way. Zong Wang sat behind the long desk, watching Start with the broken letter in your hand.

Wanyan's mother, Liu Yanzong, the commander of the Han army, General Saila and others were sitting nearby, occasionally exchanging expressions with each other, or whispering a few words in a low voice. The half-finished letter was delivered to Zongwang by order of Wanyan's mother, and the scout leader was still standing below waiting to be questioned.Zong Wang read the letter for a long time, his expression changed, and finally he slapped the letter on the table.

"Hmph, the southerners want to trick me!" He said so immediately, after seeing the expressions of the people below, he frowned again and looked at the scout.

"Tell me about the situation at that time. When, where, and under what circumstances did you meet that person and get this letter!"

"Yes……"

The scout captain saluted and nodded, talking about what happened.

As the winter deepened and heavy snow began to close the mountains, the number of times the Jurchens went out to patrol and sweep was actually not as much as before.Their scout team encountered each other on a road in the mountains ten miles away from the Moutuogang camp. There were three people on the other side. The messenger was in the middle, who seemed to be an official of the Wu Dynasty, and the two next to him were guards.A little further along that road, it will lead to the outskirts of Bianliang.

Jurchen's patrol team, a total of five people, is in charge of this area, trying to cut off the connection between Bianliang and the outside world - of course, such an attempt cannot be successful, because Bianliang is too big, even if tens of thousands of Jurchen are dispatched , I am afraid that it is impossible to surround the entire city.But even if the blockade couldn't be cut off, some messengers coming in and out could always be intercepted. When they saw the three of them, the five scouts immediately started chasing them.

Both sides were riding horses, and the other party was also highly alert. Seeing the Jurchen approaching, they turned around and ran back, and shot back with arrows.Our own scouts immediately shot back with arrows, and then shot the officer in the middle in the back.

The opponent's three cavalry rushed into the rugged place in the nearby mountains, while our own scouts kept chasing them. In the end, due to serious injuries, the official of the Wu Dynasty fell off his horse. It happened that there was a dry river below him. Chao guard, it is too late to save him.

While the Jurchen scouts divided up their troops to pursue, they made a slight detour into the valley to search for the corpses of Wu Dynasty officials, and then found the letter.After the Wu Dynasty official fell into the river, he seemed to want to tear up the letter and throw it out, but he had no strength left. He tore the letter in half and threw it aside. back.

The scouts didn't want to read the letter, so they handed it to their immediate superiors. After reading it, the immediate superiors thought it was a big deal, so they handed it to the mother who was in charge of the matter. After reading it, the mother immediately called Zong Wang. come over.

Zong Wang looked at the scout: "From the time I saw the Wu Dynasty official fell off the horse and fell into the river, until you made a detour, did the Wu Dynasty official's corpse leave your sight?"

The scout said: "Because of the detour, there is a short time, but at most ten breaths."

"Hmph." Zong Wang pondered for a moment, "Did you bring the corpse back?"

"They brought it back." Wanyan Jiamu said, "I have already checked the corpse."

Wanyan's mother is Aguda's half-brother, ranked eleventh, Zongwang looked slightly relaxed, and said, "Uncle Eleventh, what's the result?"

"Looking at his body, he was indeed pampered and pampered in the past, and there is no trace of being bound between his hands and feet. This matter is not small. I have checked it repeatedly, and it should not be forced."

After Jai's mother said this, Zong Wang fell silent.He has a rough temper, but his thoughts are meticulous. After thinking for a moment, he stretched out his hand and patted the long case: "But people from the Southern Dynasty, clowns, how can they be so courageous."

"Our army has defeated more than [-] Wu Dynasty troops in this area within a month or so. They have nothing to do, and they are desperate to jump over the wall. It is unknown."

"En." Zong Wang nodded, "Commander Liu, you select a few people in the army who are most proficient in sinology and calculation methods to come to this account. Also, come here! Please invite Guo Yaoshi, General Guo, and his subordinate Zhang Linghui , Liu Shunren, quickly come to the big tent to discuss military affairs."

After receiving the order, Zong Wang went back to the back of the long case, read through the several pages of letters again, picked two of them and put them aside, until Guo Yaoshi, Zhang Linghui, Liu Shunren and others came over , Several craftsmen and masters also came over, and just handed a few pages of letters to Guo Yaoshi: "General Guo, you should read this item first, and then... circulate it."

"Yes." Guo Yaoshi nodded in response. This circulated letter is divided into five pages, and on four of them, there are some complicated calculation formulas and patterns. However, not long after he started browsing, the color in his eyes changed, and his expression became serious.So until he finished reading it, he didn't say anything, and passed it on to Zhang Linghui, Zhang Linghui finished it, then passed it on to Liu Shunren, and then continued to pass it on to those masters and craftsmen.Some people looked puzzled, while others changed their expressions. A master saluted Zongwang and asked, "I hope the commander-in-chief will give me a pen and paper."

Zongwang's eyes showed admiration, and he waved his hand: "Pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and, besides, bring me a table and chair for him to sit on."

Not long after, everyone had read it once, and the letter was circulated in the hands of several masters and craftsmen for repeated review and discussion.Zong Wang saw the expressions of everyone.

"This is a letter from the Wu Dynasty that was intercepted today. The matter is too big. It is difficult for me to distinguish whether it is true or false. Therefore, all of you must come together to identify and discuss." He raised his hand, "Everyone Whatever you think, please speak up."

Among the resentful soldiers, Zhang Linghui was a bit ignorant, while Liu Shunren had some ideas, at this moment he first cupped his hands and said: "I want to report to the commander, I feel that this fact is a bluff by the people of the Wu Dynasty. The warriors are timid and weak, but always He loves to play all kinds of tricks, and among them he thinks he is smart, there are too many to enumerate. The letter in front of me is probably some kind of self-righteous plan. After all, it is too hard to imagine that he wants to do this..."

"Oh? General Liu thinks it's fake?" Zong Wang looked at Guo Yaoshi, "General Guo, what do you think?"

"Brother Zhang is right." Guo Yaoshi said, "In the Wu dynasty, Confucianism and Taoism respected heaven and the ancestors. In the territory of Wu dynasty, the respect of the Yellow River was so great that it is unimaginable. The army, let’s not talk about what we are waiting for. There are millions of people in Bianliang City, and only a few can escape. Moreover, the Yellow River burst its embankment, and the Qianli Zeguo around Bianliang City will flood within a few years. It is really a matter of heaven's anger and people's resentment. Those who do this will be slandered by the whole country, and they will be infamous forever after death..."

In the letter circulated to everyone, it was written about the plan to dig the embankment of the Yellow River and divert the flood to retreat the Jurchen army. At the beginning of the plan, he made a generous statement, saying: "The war can be defeated, the city can be powerful, but the country cannot be destroyed. Festival can not fall.After some generosity, a formal plan was drawn, even drawings, specific plans, a large number of calculations, etc., etc., were so meticulous that it was really hard to tell the truth from the fake.

After Guo Yaoshi finished speaking, Zong Wang frowned: "General Guo also thinks it's fake..."

"However...it's not." Guo Yaoshi hesitated for a moment, and said, "The Confucian scholars in the Wu Dynasty are indeed very talkative, and it is difficult for them to make achievements in practical matters. However, there are also many of them with strong and resolute personalities. Waquan, I am heading south towards the army, and the army will be swept away. However... the resistance of the small group is very decisive. The war outside Bianliang has developed so far. If there are officials in the Wu Dynasty who are so desperate, and want to do this, the world will be ruined It is not surprising that the troops were retreated by floods and buried with millions of people. Pharmacist thinks it is not surprising. Therefore, it is difficult to judge."

At this time, most of the masters called into the tent were from Jin and Liao, but there were still some who knew Confucianism. After Guo Yaoshi finished speaking, he also saluted and agreed.Although the scholars of Yan Dao Wu Dynasty have no power to restrain the chicken, there are indeed many people who count such decisive things, and some people even like such things especially for the sake of reputation behind them.

But then there was humanity, it was fine for some people to do this kind of thing, if the plan was sent to Bianliang, they would be stopped, maybe it was still fraudulent.

However, after saying this, someone reminded that there is a paragraph at the end of the letter, which seems to be saying that before the war, ships around Bianliang had already entered the city. in time.At that time, although the Wu Dynasty also suffered heavy losses, the center was still there, but the loss of a city.Although the Jurchens are powerful, half of the soldiers of the whole country have come here. This time when the flood flooded, it seemed that half of the Jin Kingdom had gone.It is true that the Wu Dynasty did many things wrong before, but it is not too late to learn from it and work hard, and so on.

Not long after, the teacher at the desk was also admiring, and reported to Zongwang: "The study of calculations and civil engineering in the Wu Dynasty is really exquisite. The calculations in this letter are indeed the pinnacle of work. It's a pity that half of it was torn up, but in my study of calculation, it also has the effect of a stone from another mountain..." Then I regretted it and praised it, wishing to see the half that was torn up.

Everyone has their own ideas, but it is difficult to determine whether the letter is true or not—the most important thing is whether the other party is really determined to do this. Soon after, the mother said: "Even if the other party really wants to make this risky move, it will have to wait until next year." Only during the spring flood season can it be effective, our army has already made preparations to attack the city with heavy snow, and as long as we break through the city this winter, there is really no need to think about it."

Zongwang nodded. In fact, many people in the big tent have such thoughts, but Zongwang is actually not a reckless person: "The emperor's words are reasonable, but the worst consequences must be considered in everything. Now Wu Dynasty The army has been dispersed by me, and the remnants are scattered around. Next, I will let the army speed up the preparations for the siege. Within five days, I will complete all the equipment and launch a general attack. And this aspect... find out with the scouts The surrounding situation, find out which side of the people wants to do this, and then... General Guo, you are responsible for this matter, crush them for me!"

People take orders.

"Yes!"

The big tent was shaken.

Zong Wang tapped his fingers on the table, and after everyone left, he walked around the tent a few more times, returned to the case, picked up the last two pages that he had not shown to Guo Yaoshi and others, and browsed through them.

The last two pages are mostly persuasive content, and the top part is the continuation of Zongwang's army after being swallowed by the flood.The letter talked about many problems within the Kingdom of Jin. It said that Aguda was a generation of arrogance.

After A Guda abdicated, the successor was not A Guda's parents and sons, but his fourth brother Wu Qimai.Wu Qimai is a prudent man with more than success, which is actually A Guda's painstaking choice, but it also illustrates a problem.Among the golden people, outstanding people come forth in large numbers, which is a situation of strong cadres and strong support. Now that Aguda is dead, it is hard to say what will happen when the third generation succeeds to the throne.

Among the Jurchens, the commander-in-chief Nianhan is equally talented and general. Wu Qimai is in power, and Zongwang and others can still stand up to him. However, what would the situation be without Wu Qimai?The strategy of the Wu Dynasty to unite with the Jin to resist the Liao Dynasty is hard to change, but if Zong Wang, the second most powerful prince among the princes of the Jin Kingdom, and his tens of thousands of troops are destroyed here, the only one among the Jin Kingdom who has the military power to control the world , only Dashuai Nianhan.

The Eastern and Western armies of the Jin Kingdom invaded the Wu Dynasty in the south. However, Zongwang arrived at Bianliang first, but Nianhan was blocked by the strong city of Taiyuan. It is said that Zongwang issued military orders several times, ordering the Nianhan army to go south quickly, but it is obvious that it can be bypassed In Taiyuan in the past, Nianhan did not move.Is there no suspicion between the two?At this time, it is only a loss of one place to decide the Yellow River, but within a few years, the Kingdom of Jin will be in chaos.The Jurchen suddenly rose up and won the world, and there is no background. If they can't recuperate and work hard, they will die within a few generations, and it is no longer the trouble of the Wu Dynasty...

The words and sentences on the last two pages show the writer's understanding of the interior of the Kingdom of Jin, but the words and sentences are full of criticism.

In fact, Nianhan stayed in Taiyuan out of caution. It was the first time they invaded the country of the Wu Dynasty. If the whole army really went south, Taiyuan was left on the way. If the Western Army really came to stop the way, It is really hard to say what will happen if more than [-] troops are trapped in the hinterland of the Wu Dynasty.Zong Wang naturally understood this worry, but the letter was not polite. The sentence above made him feel that it was both provocative and possible.At the very least, after reading these, he first felt that it might be true that the other party was going to use the method of breaking the Yellow River.

As for those seemingly provocative remarks, he has tried his best to normalize them, but it is impossible to think about what he has seen and what he said so clearly.

In this sense, whether the letter is true or not, it has at least played a certain role.

Thinking of this, Zong Wang slapped the table.

Confucian scholars in the Wu Dynasty were a bunch of jumping beam clowns, but this one not only showed his understanding of the Jin Kingdom's internal affairs, but these tricks of jumping beams also made people feel extremely angry.

If there is a chance to catch this person in the future, he must be killed with his own hands!

Zong Wang thought of this villain from the Wu Dynasty whose identity was still unclear, and such a thought flashed through his mind.

　I'm sorry, I've been emotionally connected recently, and the situation of interrupting updates may be a bit abnormal...
