Chapter 336 A Tiger in the Heart
There are too many accidents in the world, which are inevitable.
Seven years has been an earth-shaking change for the Song Dynasty; for many people, they have soared or returned to stability from the war.
But for Xue Yu, every moment in the past seven years is suffering.
Seven years of arduous road to finding a wife made him physically and mentally exhausted through the vicissitudes of life, and the originally good "beautiful Xuelang" gradually became abnormally old.
From Chu Tianya to Xue Yu's transfer to Hebei, he focused on assisting Yue Fei and tried his best to find his divorced wife in his early years. Fortunately, in the past seven years, the Song Dynasty signed a covenant with the State of Jin without war, and Xue Yu was able to spare no effort to find people in the vast northern country like looking for a needle in a haystack.
People who are separated from the war are the most difficult to find. Maybe she has already died in the chaos, or maybe she has already found another way to make a living to marry her husband and have children, which is possible. In the past seven years, many people have persuaded Xue Yu to give up and take advantage of her youth to marry another wife. However, Xue Yu has always insisted on seeing people and corpses, and has never given up.
The emperor lives up to his painstaking efforts.
Seven years later, Xue Yu finally found out the specific whereabouts of his wife. It turned out that after the fall of Yanshan Mansion, Xue Yu's wife was abduction by the Jin people and was once reduced to a "raving woman", that is, a military prostitute in the Jin army. After several tossing and sufferings, she was bought as a concubine by a small official of Liao who surrendered to the Jin people. This little official was still a Han citizen under the rule of Liao.
During this period, she also missed Xue Yu bitterly and wanted to return to the Central Plains. But at that time, the war between Song and Jin was so hot that she was a weak woman could have such an opportunity? In desperation, she had to bend over and follow the little official for the time being. In the past few years, the little official was also good to her, which made her gradually settle down and gave birth to a son and a daughter to the little official.
However, the good times did not last long. The little official was demoted and assigned to the army because he angered his real boss Qianhu. As a concubine, her fate can only be reduced to thousands of fierce slaves. After being abused for another half a year, she had a little interest in her because she cooked a good meal. Coincidentally, she was pregnant and gave birth to a son for that!
After Qianhu was worried about losing his two sons on the battlefield, he happily set up a drink to celebrate, and also touted that his son's mother was the wife of a general of the Southern Dynasty. He had insulted Xue Yu and vented his hatred for the Southern Dynasty.
That's why Xue Yu heard about her.
Nearly ten years of separation have long been different. If Xue Yu married another wife and had a family, it would be reasonable, but he was just a man who was infatuated and persistent. Ten years later, he heard the news of his wife and desperately wanted to bring her back to the Central Plains, even if she had experienced all kinds of unbearable things, even if she had a few children in the north!
At first, Xue Yu went to negotiate fiercely with thousands of households in the Golden State as a private man. Since the two countries are in an alliance, and the identities of both sides are relatively **, Jin Guo is also very cautious. After many negotiations, thousands of households reluctantly agreed to let the woman back due to the pressure of the upper wind, but the child wanted to stay; the woman could not give up the child, and worried that Xue Yu could not accept her now... All kinds of problems and difficulties made Xue Yu suffer a lot of devastation and torture. He went north to the Kingdom of Jin six times, but all of them returned to no success.
A man has had two major feuds since ancient times, the hatred of killing his father and his wife - for Qianhu Bo Ji Lie, Xue Yu is also extremely angry that he wants to take away his woman and his child's mother. Although there was a lot of pressure to get the upper hand, he used a lot of brains to make Xue Yu retreat, including many slodgy means - such as letting his men take turns to rape Xue Yu's wife, so as to hit his dignity as a man.
Xue Yu was about to collapse several times. He was also very sick in Jinguo and almost died.
After learning about this matter in Luoyang, Chu Tianya wrote several letters to comfort Xue Yu. Xue Yu was still unmoved and persisted for ten years. He didn't want to give up in the end!
This makes Chu Tianya very worried. Originally, this was the family matter of his generals. He, the king of Wei, who was in charge of the power of the Song Dynasty, should not be questioned, but Xue Yu was his earliest brother who was born and died... Therefore, Chu Tianya, in his private capacity, wrote a letter to the lord of the State of Jin and the prime minister of the State of faction, Wanyan Chang, the king of Lu, asking him to adjust the matter in private. Don't be caused by some personal grudges. It rings to the diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Wanyanchang is a rare master and faction above the royal family and court of the State of Jin. After receiving Chu Tianya's private message, he immediately realized that if Xue Yu's matter continued, it might really make a big deal. So he sent someone to mediate the matter and ordered thousands of households to release people as soon as possible.
At this point, it should have been over. Whether Xue Yu's wife can get along well with Xue Yu after her return is just their private affairs, which has nothing to do with state affairs. But at the last moment, when Xue Yu was waiting for his wife at the agreed place, an accident happened!
A team of thieves suddenly came out of nowhere and killed Xue Yu's wife halfway!
When Xue Yu found his wife, she was still bleeding and her body was still hot. The thief seemed to deliberately let Xue Yu see with his own eyes that his wife died in his arms.
Xue Yu completely collapsed.
At this time, thousands of households arrived fiercely when they heard the news.
Enemies meet each other, and they are particularly jealous. In addition, Xue Yu's wife just died in her arms. Thinking of all kinds of things in the past, Xue Yu has reason to believe that it was the last temporary change of gossip, killing the woman cruelly - it's better to be broken than for the whole!
A conflict broke out between the two sides. Xue Yu's force was amazing. Under the rage, he killed more than a dozen people, and his bloody fighting power was seriously injured and captured.
The news came out, and the two countries were shocked!
Xue Yu's story has long been widely spread in the three towns of Hebei, especially in the army, and everyone admired his infatuation and persistence. In addition, Xue Yu's ordinary life is very good, so he is quite loved and supported by the soldiers.
After learning about Xue Yu's experience, the three towns in Hebei Province have been passionately invited to fight, vowing to save Xue Yu and punish the murderer severely.
And there is also a saying on Jin Guo's side that they have promised to release people but were killed by thieves halfway. They don't want this kind of thing to happen. But after the incident, Xue Yu killed people in the territory of the State of Jin without asking indiscriminately, which was already a violation of the law and should be sentenced to death!
Obviously, Jin Guo has no intention to soften on this matter at all.
The news soon spread to the court centers of the two countries. At this time, it was less than half a year before Liu Ziyu returned home triumphantly. Chu Tianya quickly called the civil and military to make a decision and try to solve this matter through diplomatic channels first. At the same time, Chu Tianya secretly made Hebei Yuefei actively prepare for the war and be ready to deal with sudden events at any time!
The diplomatic envoy of the Song Dynasty had just arrived at the State of Jin, and a big event happened in the court of the State of Jin - the Lord and sent Wan Yanchang to step down!
Instead, it is the fourth prince of the State of Jin, the representative of the brave battle faction, Wanyan Zongbi - that is, as the people say, Jin Ushu!
So far, Chu Tianya has already knew that Xue Yu's incident seems to be occasional, but in fact it is inevitable. Although he still doesn't know the real truth, he can be similar through these recent events - there must be a golden handwriting!
Jin Yushu is the marshal of the State of Jin after Zong Han and Zong Wang. The idea in his heart must be well known to everyone in Sima Zhao's heart - the Southern Expedition, revenge!
However, the existence of Wan Yanchang, the covenant between Song and Jin and the prime minister of the two countries, is the biggest obstacle to Jin Yushu. Chu Tianya assumed that if he was Jinwishu himself, he would try his best to provoke the dispute between the two countries, and it was better to let Wan Yanchang get involved. Xue Yu seems to be small, but he and the Qianhu of the Kingdom of Jin are both leading soldiers, and their identity is extremely **. If Jin Ushu knew about this matter, he only needed one sentence to make his thousands of households obedient. As for how to provoke Xue Yu, how to kill his wife, and finally how to force Xue Yu to kill, these are all less important details.
For this reason, Chu Tianya and most of the people around him are no longer naive - war is inevitable!
Xue Yu's search for his wife can only be regarded as an excuse at most, or a fuse!
Seven years of peace, seven years of comfort. Now, the eyes of the people in the world have once again condensed on the three towns in Hebei, and on Chu Tianya, the young king of Wei in the Song Dynasty!
It is war and talk, and it is once again placed on the paper of the court of the Song Dynasty. For this reason, the court is once again divided into two factions, one main battle and the other main peace.
Unlike the past, Chu Tianya no longer blindly supports the main war faction, nor blindly despises and suppresses the main faction. The starting point of the debate and divergence between the two sides is no longer the kind of selfish fear when Zhao Ji was in power, but focuses on the long-term interests of the country and the nation!
This is the change that Chu Tianya has brought to the court of the Song Dynasty in the past seven years!
No matter how the court argues, Chu Tianya has never relaxed his attention to Hebei, and has never intermittently sent money and money to Hebei. The reason why he tolerates the endless debates in the court is that he wants to see what kind of reaction these people in the court will be in the face of big or wrong, so as to clearly argue against treachery and falsehood and appoint sages and mediocre. On the other hand, he also wants to use this to put some smoke to paralyze the Jin Kingdom.
Therefore, Chu Tianya really hopes that the more lively the quarrel on the court, the better.
Gradually, some careful people found that Yang Zaixing, a tiger general who used to follow Chu Tianya, didn't know where to go. Chu Tianya said that he went back to his hometown to sacrifice his mother. In the past, Wang Xun, who accompanied Kaifeng, left Kaifeng. Chu Tianya used a paper order to ask him to go to Taiyuan to exchange the horse back; but the horse did not at all. When he returned to Luoyang, he was in a mood because he was suddenly replaced, so he was mistaken by Chu Tianya and kicked into the clouds on the edge of the Great Wall to raise horses to guard the border. In addition, the money and grain taxes in the treasury are always invisible. The people below have the sense to report to Xu Han, always like a mud cow entering the sea without a reply. For this reason, there are many rumors about "Xu Han's private interests" in private. Chu Tianya also made a position to knock on Xu Han and almost "withdraw" him.
After Xue Yu's incident, the court of the Song Dynasty seemed to be a little chaotic.
At the same time, Qingwei is also very busy. They shuttle between the Kingdom of Jin and the Song Dynasty like ghosts, as if they are everywhere, and it seems that no one can really tell where they have gone and what they are busy with...
Now the Song Dynasty is like a computer, and Chu Tianya is the CPU at the center. Everything is under his control. In Jin's view, the Song Dynasty once again fell into the main battle between the main battle and the main peace. From the court to the people, there were many ideological trends in the war. The interior of the Song Dynasty seemed to be a mess and a big problem.
On the contrary, in the State of Jin, with the fall of Wan Yanchang, the prime minister of the main and faction, the new generation of young and brave military commander Jin Yushu has risen as strong as the rising sun, and soon monopolizes the military and political power. The shame of defeat seven years ago and the blood feud between Zong Wang and Zong Han made the Jin people's fighting spirit expand unprecedentedly!
War is finally on the verge of breaking out...
In winter in the clouds, it is always very cold. It seems that except for the towering Great Wall, no one dares to face the cold wind - except for the iron horse of the Golden State!
A brigade of abductors and horses from the Golden State raided the market on the border of Yunzhong, killed people and washed the whole city with blood, and then set fire to the dead chickens and dogs!
It is still a lightning attack, and it is still provoked by the leading Jin Kingdom. This time, they took the initiative to tear up the peace treaty between the two countries!
In the view of the State of Jin, the defense that has just returned to the cloud under the rule of the Song Dynasty should be the weakest. The terrain there is also the most familiar to them, and there are even many females living there. Therefore, in order to break through the Song Dynasty and take the clouds first, we must first open their breakthrough to the south - compared with the three towns of Hebei like copper walls and iron walls, the clouds are like paper paste!
Break through the clouds and go south to Taiyuan, and go straight to Luoyang to capture Chu Tianya - this is the strategy of Jin Hushu!
In the early stage, their tactics also seemed to be very successful. More than 380 miles of attack in one day, the memodynamics and super winter combat ability of the Golden Cavalry are undoubtedly revealed.
But when they hit the city of Yunzhong County, they finally hit a hard bone. A middle-aged man like a groom stood on the wall in the wind and snow, and his beard was about to freeze. He seemed to be very excited to see the vicious female cavalry killing. One punch hit the wall, one word--
"Fight!"
"Bight" the dog by closing the door!
On the wall, a big word "horse" was erected - the new Hedong Xuanfu envoy of the Song Dynasty expanded the horse and took office again!
The gate of the city opened, and eight thousand green clouds roared out!
There are countless elite riders to attack and kill. The leading general should have gone to Huainan to sacrifice his mother. The fierce general Yang Zaixing!
Almost at the same time, Wang Xun of Taiyuan led the army and went east out of Taihang and pointed straight to Yanshan Mansion and cut off the back road of Jin Bing. The army in the three towns of Hebei, Yue Fei, a military division of Hebei, who had been dormant for seven years, led the most elite Hu Ben army of the Song Dynasty, to advance to the north. Han Shizhong, the vanguard general!
......
The Jurchens, who had been brewing for more than seven years, took the rust needle and pierced the Song Dynasty in the clouds; the reaction given by the Song Dynasty was: a trident hit back!
The person who wields a halberd is sitting high in the palace of Luoyang, the king of Wei and Chu Tianya.
The cold winter has come, and the snow is drifting, and he is tasting tea and enjoying the snow. Sitting next to him was Xue Yu.
It has always been that the people who Qingwei wants to kill can't live through the set deadline; the people who Qingwei wants to save must not die.
After experiencing this great change, Xue Yu was about to die; but after drinking less than three cups of tea with Chu Tianya, he felt that he was about to come back to life.
"Lord, I'm wrong..." Xue Yu whispered, "My selfishness has led to a war between the two countries. I was wrong, I was very wrong.
"You are not wrong." Chu Tianya looked at the snow outside the window and said, "Even without you, there must be a war between Song and Jin, sooner or later. You have done what a man should do. Do everything to your best and listen to fate; what has happened, no matter what kind of mood you give, you can't change its result.
It seems to wake up the dreamer in one word!
Xue Yuhao suddenly got up, and then knelt on the ground: "The Lord's teaching, let my subordinates enlighten the enlightenment be remembered in my heart! ... My subordinates have done what a man should do; but as a general, I still have a lot of things to do!"
Chu Tianya smiled and turned his head to look at him.
Xue Yu burst into tears and looked up at Chu Tianya.
"Dang", a tiger charm token fell in front of Xue Yu.
"I'm ready for you." Chu Tianya said, "Thirties of Hejian Mansion have followed you for seven years. Now no one can play them to the fullest except you.
"Thank you, Lord!" Xue Yu held the tiger charm in both hands and suddenly cried bitterly, crying like a child. Then he ran away, stripped his coat in the blizzard, bare his chest and roared!
The snow fell on the eaves.
"Go ahead, Xue Yu." Chu Tianya looked at Xue Yu outside the window with a smile and said to himself lightly, "You have a fierce tiger sniffing roses in your heart... Now, it's time to let the tiger out!"
