Chapter 119 The Same Shameless

Half a month has been consumed in the cold and endless battle.

The golden soldiers have besieged the city for more than two months. During this period, they built layers of arrow towers and cave towers outside the not magnificent small earth city of Taiyuan, and imitated the practice of Taiyuan to connect these military facilities with icy earth walls. From the bird's eye view from the sky, these facilities built by Jin Bing are like a larger city, surrounding Taiyuan in the core.

Wanyan Zonghan was determined to take down the hub fortress of Taiyuan. For this reason, he did not hesitate to fight for a long-term battle, so he implemented the "locking city warfare method" proposed by the master Shi Liai, which surrounded Taiyuan and set up a posture of catching turtles in the urn.

At the same time, in order to avoid soldiers from the Southern Dynasties to save Taiyuan, Wanyan Zonghan sent his generals to lead the elite mobile cavalry to dig three feet of the counties of Xidugu, Qi County, Taigu and Yuxian outside Taiyuan. As long as the living people are not let go, all the males will be killed, and women will be pulled into the army as military prostitutes. It is difficult for the elderly and children to be killed. Because of the lack of meat, some cruel and barbaric females actually kill the meat of the young son and cook it, which is called "children's stew", and praises how delicious it is.

Although Taiyuan Prefecture has implemented "jianbi Qingye" in the surrounding Zhou County for a long time, there are always some people in the remote mountain village who have no time to evacuate or are unwilling to escape from their homes. As a result, none of them escaped from the claws of the Golden Man. The periphery of Taiyuan City has been cleared out of a "no man's land" with a width of 100 miles. Many villages and towns were torched into ashes, and then the Jin people built military facilities at important checkpoints to prevent peripheral soldiers and horses to rescue Taiyuan. They set up an iron barrel array in the east of Hedong and the west of Taihang!

During this period, only the sporadic Taihang Rebels fought with the Jurchens. Because Wanyan Zonghan sent the general Gushen to implement the strategy of blocking, cutting and defeating the Taihang Zhai Rebels. It is difficult for the Rebels of Taihang Jiushan to connect with each other and can only fight separately. Most of them have been cut into small strands scattered in Taihang Mountain, which is blocked by snow. At most, they can only engage in a "guerilla war", which is difficult to fight against Jin Bing. It becomes a real threat.

The powerful Qixing Mountain was "specially taken care of" by Wanyan Zonghan and suffered extremely tough pressure and blows. In the spirit of "sucating the king with a thief and a seven-inch snake", Wanyan Zonghan launched a five-time siege against Qixing Mountain at all costs. Several bloody battles have their own wins and losses, and the golden soldiers lose more. However, after all, Qixing Mountain can't compete with Wanyan Zonghan's family background, so it is seriously damaged. It is no longer able to fight against the Valley God head-on, and only has the remaining strength to hold on to the cottage.

At this time, Wanyan Zonghan's wolf tooth fine work sent to the Central Plains had also reported the news, and learned that Wanyan Zongwang's troops had hit the city of Tokyo and established a treaty to cede Taiyuan with the Southern Dynasty.

The development of the situation seemed to have completely fallen into the expectation of the master Shi Li Ai. Wanyan Zong Han was overjoyed and rewarded Shi Li Ai. At this time, within hundreds of miles of the east of the river, it has completely fallen into the control of Wanyan Zonghan. The small city of Taiyuan bullets seems to be in his bag.

This scene in front of us is the best situation that Shi Li'ai said, "to seek peace through war and diplomacy for war". Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed - just waiting for the messengers of the Southern Dynasty to read the imperial edict of the emperor of the Southern Dynasties. Taiyuan City and the territory of the whole Song Dynasty in Hedong will naturally fall into the hands of Wanyan Zonghan.

Since Wanyan Zonghan has already mastered the occupation rights of all areas in Hedong except Taiyuan, as soon as Taiyuan arrives, the west road corridor from the State of Jin to the Central Plains will be completely opened. Moreover, it will also become a bridgehead and the best military springboard and base for the Jin Kingdom to face the Song Dynasty, leaving hundreds of miles of military buffer zone behind.

The current situation also shows that Wanyan Zonghan is a military seeker and a country. His vision is very long-term, and his heart is not just as simple as taking a Taiyuan Tucheng!

At this moment, more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Taiyuan City seem to be imprisoned, and there is no way to enter the earth. Cold, hunger, death and war always devour the lives and will of all people in the city. In the deadlock of the city for more than a month, there have been nearly 10,000 casualties in the city, and more injured. In addition, the lack of medicine has led to the deterioration of injuries, the epidemic, and various vicious crimes caused by panic, which have led to many non-combat combation.

The situation is deteriorating day by day.

Chu Tianya is in charge of the treasury and food and grass, and knows better than others how critical Taiyuan is now. At the beginning of the siege, the battle had not yet begun. At that time, according to statistics, the food and fodder were enough for everyone in the city to eat for three months, but in fact, it could not last so long because of various natural losses and artificial waste. The number of available city guarding equipment has been sharply reduced, and the fierce fire oil cabinets have long been discontinued because of the consumption of fire oil, and are directly used as cannon stones to smash people. As a last resort, Chu Tianya had to order to demolish some uninhabited houses and use them as ring wood and cannon stone to guard the city.

In addition to these food and fodder and military supplies, all kinds of other living resources have become extremely scarce, and there are many people who kill people to compete for a bag of salt or medicinal herbs.

At this time, Chu Tianya felt more and more how wise He Bo, an old man, was!

The dried meat, salt and grain he hid in the cellar are now more precious than anything else. Chu Tianya, Xiao Linglong and Ada Anu often participated in battles all over the city and ate the worst food in the army. But when they go back every two or three days, Uncle He can take out some dried meat and fruit to give them a tooth sacrifice.

At this time, Chu Tianya feels like he has been in heaven. He never knew that just the dried meat boiled in salt water and those fruits that are not too fresh can be delicious to such a level. However, whenever this happens, they must close the door frame like a thief and beware of "fragrance leakage", otherwise it may cause trouble.

At noon this day, Chu Tianya and Xiao Linglong took a team of military patrols and came to the North Gate to patrol as usual. There is no war today, and the two of them are a little relaxed.

As soon as he got up to the head of the city after getting off the horse, he saw a large group of people gathered at the door of the city head, where there were many discussions, and some people roared and roared indignantly. The magistrate Zhang Xiaochun was also there, and several officials under him were whispering, shaking their heads and sighing from time to time.

Chu Tianya hurried over and said, "Zhang Zhifu, what happened?"

Zhang Xiaochun sighed and pointed to the door, "Go in your teacher!"

Chu Tianya opened the pile of people blocked at the door and walked to the door of the castle. He saw that there were only two people in the castle except for the sergeant who guarded the door. Wang Wei stood by the window with his back to the door, and beside him was an official in a red official robe and a right-angled head. The two stood side by side as if they were talking about something, and Wang Yu seemed to be a little excited.

Chu Tianya took a look at the official and was very eye-catching. Now who in Taiyuan City can wear such a clean and shiny official robe? Even the magistrate Zhang Xiaochun is often dressed in civilian clothes.

This person obviously came in from outside the city.

The pawn guarding the gate recognized Chu Tianya, but he refused to let him in, saying that the king had an order, and no one could summon him to enter.

Chu Tianya shouted, "Teacher, students, please meet!"

Because there was no gate in the city head, Wang Yu and the official turned around to have a look. Wang Yu said, "Let him in!"

Chu Tianya went in. First, he took a closer look at the official. He was in his forties, with a public face, but his eyes were a typical deep color of the city.

"This is the Lu Yundi and Lu Lu who was sent by the court to announce the decree." Wang Yu introduced to Chu Tianya with no expression on his face. There was still a residual anger and obvious disdain on his face. He said, "This is my student, Chu Tianya in Taiyuan."

Chu Tianya and Lu Yundi met each other, but his mind completely fell on the word "holy edict" that Wang Qian just said!

"Teacher, we are finally looking forward to the will of the court. I don't know when the royal division of the imperial court will come to save him, or when the State of Jin will retreat? In front of Lu Yundi, Chu Tianya deliberately showed a happy face and said the opposite.

Lu Yundi's face really became ugly. He coughed dryly, "Xiaosheng, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand! National affairs, when is it your turn to interrupt?

Chu Tianya scolded him back on the spot, so as to spread the matter so that the soldiers and civilians in the city can know.

But before he had an attack, Wang Yu first shouted angrily: "You don't give me much face. You also come to scold my students in front of me! - In addition, he is not only an old man's student, but also a leader, but also a think tank and division of more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians sticking in Taiyuan!"

Lu Yundi's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly bent down to apologize to Chu Tianya.

Chu Tianya saw a tightly sealed sandalwood box beside him and was about to get it.

"Don't move, that's the imperial edict!" Lu Yundi hurriedly stopped him.

"Isn't the imperial edict just for people to see?" Boss Chu Tianya impatiently blocked his hand, took the long box in his hand, opened the lid of the box and took out the imperial edict of apricot yellow silk and brocade sealed inside.

"You! ...Great rebellious! Can you touch the imperial edict? Lu Yundi shouted in a hurry.

"Shut up! Since it is the imperial edict issued by the court to Taiyuan, how can I not touch it? If you dare to shout again, I will cut you with a knife!" Chu Tianya roared a few times on the spot. Lu Yundi was stunned by the roar. His eyes widened and his lips closed one by one, and he couldn't say a word.

Wang Yu laughed on the side and said, "I'm a student who is young and has a bad temper. Recently, he has done a lot of murders and blood. He has a banditry and murderous spirit. If he offends you, he will delay."

Lu Yundi shivered all over, and almost reached out to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead. He quickly squeezed out an ugly smile to make himself round, "Good to say, good to say."

At this time, Chu Tianya had read the imperial edict from beginning to end. On the spot, he became very angry and roared at the group of sergeants who were watching at the door, "Brothers, the court doesn't want us! The court ceded Taiyuan to the Golden Dog!"

"FUCK, it's really like this!"

"Kill that dog officer!"

"I'd rather die than surrender, fight with the golden dog!"

......

The head of the city suddenly exploded!

Although everyone had already expected this or vaguely heard some news, it has not been confirmed after all. Now, Chu Tianya read the imperial edict in public and made the content public, which immediately aroused the excitement of the group!!

The news suddenly spread all over the city like a plague, triggering countless indignations. Everyone present has worked hard with the Jin people. From the initial "killing of Tong Guan", the hatred for the Jin people has been deeply rooted in their hearts. In their opinion, the Song people and the Jin people have vowed to be irreconsidellable; coupled with the experience of these days and the continuous ** of Wang Zhi, Chu Tianya and others, these soldiers' hearts against gold are stronger than gold and iron!

For more than two months, these sergeants worked hard to guard the city and looked forward to Wang Shi's help, but they got such a reward - they were abandoned by the court and betrayed by the officials!

The strong contrast between reality and ideals finally ignited the anger of the soldiers who had been suppressed for a long time. There was a mutiny on the spot above the head of the city. A group of sergeants were going to rush to the head of the city to kill Lu Yundi! - They had a simple mind, so they could only think of the simplest and most direct way to vent their anger now!

Lu Yundi was so scared on the spot that he almost knelt down to save Wang, "Wang Dutong, the humble position is also ordered to run an errand. You have to make the decision for me!"

"Humph!" Wang Yu sneered, "The road is right. Now you know what kind of attitude our military and civilians in Taiyuan are?"

"I know, I know!" Lu Yundi raised his official sleeve and kept wiping his sweat. He glanced at the door from time to time. He saw a group of people rushing into the room desperately, and the guards at the door could not stop him.

"It's not that Wang is unfaithful to the king and patriotism, but that everyone's will is hard to disobey. Wang can't accept this imperial edict. Wang Li glanced at Lu Yundi and said, "After asking Lu to go back to the court, he will truthfully report the truth of Taiyuan to the officials, and persuade his colleagues in the court with good words, and ask them to advise the officials to fight against gold. Wang is just a martial artist who can't talk about the world's major events. Wang only knows that if Taiyuan loses Hedong, Jin Bing will go south and directly to attack Guanzhong and Tokyo. There are also three towns in Hebei, which is the only barrier in the Song Dynasty that can resist foreign enemies, all of which must not be lost! Otherwise... That's all, I won't talk about it! These shallow truths must be better understood than me!"

"Good, good, the humble position must truthfully tell the court this matter!" Lu Yundi was so scared that he hid behind Wang Yu. He pointed to Chu Tianya, who was reading the imperial edict aloud at the door, and said in a trembling voice, "Wang Dutong, is your student so strong? Tell him not to incite the sergeant again. Otherwise, it is inevitable that the humble position will die today. Who can send a message to Wang Dutong and more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Taiyuan?"

Wang Yu sneered again, "Don't be afraid of the road. Although my student is strong, he has always been well-informed. I guarantee that you won't have to worry about your life."

"That's good, that's good..." On a cold day, Lu Yundi was sweating. At this time, my whole body was cold and trembling.

At this time, Chu Tianya held the imperial edict and raised it high, where he announced loudly, "Brothers, we don't want it now. We can only save ourselves by ourselves!" The imperial court ceded Taiyuan, neither pitying the ancestral foundation nor caring about the life and death of the people, and even abandoned us soldiers who were born to protect the country and the people! - Now none of us can count on it. We can only fight with the golden people to the end with the heart of death, and would rather die than slaves!"

" Commander Chu said it well! Brothers, I would rather die than be a subjugated slave! Fight with the golden man to the end!"

"I'd rather die than be a subjugated slave!"

"Blood battle to the end!!"

The group is passionate and roaring!

not far away, Xiao Linglong, wearing rose armor and a night fork mask, leaned her hands against the wall in a lazy and leisurely posture, sideways her face, and quietly looked at the scene in front of her through the eyes of the mask.

More and more sergeants poured into the city and joined the "demonstration" crowd. Gradually, the news spread. Taiyuan City, which was like a dead place before, burst into boiling in an instant. The city was full of people running away, and a roar of "bloody battle to the end" broke through the sky!

Seeing this scene, Lu Yundi was already panicked and stunned!

"You have also seen the road. This is what people want." Wang said indifferently, "Although the imperial edict has to be obeyed like a mountain, the military heart cannot be lost, the public opinion is greater than the sky, and Wang can only do what he wishes."

"The humble position knows, and the inferior position will definitely report the situation to the court truthfully!" Lu Yundi wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, glanced timidly at Chu Tianya at the door, and whispered, "Wang Dutong, your student is really unattractable!" Unexpectedly, it stirred up people's hearts in an instant, creating such momentum!"

"Only when people's hearts abound can people gather with a wave of their arms!" Wang Yu snorted sullenly, "You are a learned person. How can you not know such a truth?"

"I know, I know... Wang Dutong, I know everything about this, and my official duties are over. Why don't you please let me out of the city?" Lu Yundi was almost begging.

"Well, Wang still put you down with a hanging basket." Wang Yu said, "After you go to the city, you first send a message to Wanyan Zonghan to let him die. As long as there is another person in Taiyuan, he will not want to step into the city openly!"

"Okay, I will definitely bring it to Wang Dutong, please send me to the city quickly!"

Wang Yu glanced at Lu Yundi and walked behind Chu Tianya, "Tianya, stop for a moment - brothers, don't make trouble. Lu Shi just acted on the order to declare the order. If you don't do his business, let him go to the city!"

Since Wang Yu said so, it is naturally not easy for the sergeants to embarras Lu Yundi. However, these people still held the sword in their hands and stared at him, and their eyes almost killed Lu Yundi here.

Wang Yu had to personally protect Lu Yundi and walk out of the city head castle. He sent someone to prepare a big hanging basket and hang him down to the city.

At this time, Chu Tianya walked to Lu Yundi and whispered, "Road is a matter. I would have asked you to send a word to Wanyan Zonghan. If you have guts, say it to Wanyan Zonghan according to my original words - 'Listen, if you are still a man, you will come and take away Princess Feihu with a clear knife and a gun. ! Otherwise, he will always be the woman of my Chu Tianya!"

"Bird Slave" is the nickname that Wanyan Zonghan had when he was a child!

Lu Yundi suddenly stiffened like petrochemical, and nodded mechanically, "Okay, okay."

Chu Tianya smiled and said, "Well, it's okay. Please go."

Xiao Linglong, not far away, still quietly looked at Chu Tianya through the two empty holes on the mask, but inadvertently said a sentence--

"When did I become your woman? You are as shameless as a bird slave!"
