Chapter 331 Night Banquet

In the evening, the sky suddenly became overcast. There was no wind, and it was not as cold as during the day. People in the city knew that it was going to snow again. It was almost the end of the year, and the snow was falling one after another. .

Several fires were lit in the county government office. More than a hundred Jin army leaders, mixed with several important figures in the city, were buzzing with people. Some Jin soldiers who had attended the banquet during the day were unwilling to leave and lingered at the door. Hu The assassin sent his own soldiers to drive these people away.

A stage was set up in the north of the yard, and various plays were performed on it. The opera at this time was simple, with only two or three characters, and they were constantly changing. Many of the Jin army could not even understand Chinese, and they just looked at the people on it. The action is ridiculous. After watching it for a day now, many people are annoyed.

Hu Ci said to Shen Zun next to him: "You Han people don't have any serious plays. It's just two people singing. Who knows what they are singing? Magistrate, are you busy here? Go up and serve wine for everyone." "

Shen Zun nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes. General, wait a moment, he will be up in a moment."

At this moment, two people, a man and a woman, came up on the stage. The man was dressed like an emperor, and the woman was wearing heavy makeup. It was hard to tell what she looked like, but she was just pretending to be a beautiful woman. She was crying and singing, and she didn't know what she was singing.

Hu Ci was impatient and said to Shen Zun: "What are these two bird men and women singing on the stage!"

Shen Zundao: "Back to General, they were singing Maweipo. Anlu Mountain broke Tongguan, Emperor Ming of Tang Dynasty fled south to Shu, and had to hang Concubine Yang Guifei in Maweipo. This play is widely circulated in Guanzhong, General Never heard of it before."

Hu Ci said: "I have heard this story too. It's just a man and a woman crying there. What does that mean?"

At this time, Guanzhong was in ruins, and the people couldn't help but think of Anlu Mountain's destruction of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty. This play was sung everywhere under various names. It was originally a helpless complaint by the Han people against reality, but how could Jin Bing understand this?

An Lushan's uprising against the Tang Dynasty had a profound impact on the Tang Dynasty, and even had a great impact on Chinese history. An Lushan's uprising reflected the harm of local warlords, and directly affected the military system from the Five Dynasties to the Song Dynasty. Another is that An Lushan's uprising reflected the harm of local warlords. , which reflects the depth of ethnic conflicts in the north. Not only did the Tang Dynasty quickly change its policy towards foreigners, it also directly affected the Song Dynasty.

When Wang Xiaolie talked about the An-Shi Rebellion in his previous life, some people often said that it was a rebellion by powerful local factions and had nothing to do with ethnic conflicts. This is wrong. Not only were An Lushan and Shi Siming aliens, but there were also a large number of aliens in their armies, and they directly caused a large number of aliens. Foreign generals became powerful factions in the Hebei and Hedong areas, influencing later generations for hundreds of years. In fact, when the Anshi Rebellion occurred, the Tang Dynasty was clearly aware of the reasons for ethnic conflicts.

Listening to the singing on the stage and thinking of the current reality, Shen Zun sighed in his heart.

After singing Maweipo, two gag artists came up, and the interest of the leader of the Jin army was suddenly aroused. Everyone was very excited as they ate meat and drank wine while watching the stories on the stage.

It was getting more and more gloomy. Not to mention the moon, not a single star could be seen in the sky. Shen Zun was anxious, so he got up with an excuse and went to the top of the city to look at his own arrangement. The arrangement was for the banker from his own village to keep one or two. Hundreds of steps along the city wall, everyone was extremely excited and gearing up. When they saw Shen Zun coming, they all saluted and were much more affectionate than usual.

Seeing that everything was in order, Shen Zun felt a little more relaxed.

Standing on the top of the city, looking at the dark night outside. Shen Zun said to Shen Ruchang: "Light the torch and wave it here three times."

Shen Ruchang obeyed the order and lit the torch, held it high above his head, and shook it vigorously three times.

Asking Shen Ruchang to put away the torch, Shen Zun held onto the parapet and stretched his head to look outside the city. Not long after, a firelight lit up not far away. The firelight turned slowly three times, just like in the city.

"Okay, okay!" Shen Zun let out a long breath. "You guys are optimistic about this place! When the time comes, I will naturally tell you what to do!"

Everyone obeyed the order and watched Shen Zun descend the city wall.

In the woods outside the city, Wei Yang said: "This magistrate is very careful and must test whether we are here first."

Cao Yudao: "This matter is related to his family and life, so he must be cautious. It looks like it's going to snow, so don't let anything happen."

Wei Yang nodded: "Yes. If it snows heavily, it will be difficult for us to climb the city. God bless, it is best to open the city gate before it snows. Then it will be fine. After wiping out the 700 Jin army in the city, Jingzhao Mansion What’s the use of having two hundred people left?”

Cao Yudao: "If Lintong is defeated, Jingzhao Mansion will be in our hands!"

"Yes, we have conquered Lintong tonight, and we can enter Chang'an City tomorrow! After fighting with the Jin people for several years, our dynasty has never retaken such a large city! By then, the world will definitely be shaken! Everyone in the world should know We are the Dengzhou Army!"

Cao Yu said yes, and couldn't help but feel a little excited.

In fact, except for Hebei and Hedong, the Jin army in other places mostly broke into the city and looted it before leaving. There was nothing wrong with reoccupying it. It's just that Jingzhao Mansion has a special status, and the new defeat of Fuping can boost morale. Don't Speaking of Jingzhao Mansion, the Song army also reoccupied both capitals.

The difference this time is that the Jin army did not retreat, but the Song army seized the opportunity and took advantage of the opportunity to occupy Jingzhao Mansion. For the Song army, it was naturally a rare victory. For the Jin people, after learning this lesson, The troops in the rear dare not be too empty.

Wei Yang sent someone to check again whether the equipment brought by his men was complete, and then waited quietly outside the city.

Returning to the county government office and sitting down next to Hu Ci, Shen Zun said: "General, are you satisfied? After a while, Lady Jade will come up and sing a few songs, and everyone will enjoy a few glasses of wine. That's it for tonight. I'll go to the city wall. Look, everything is as usual."

Hu Ci said: "Many of my subordinates came to listen to the little lady singing tonight. I heard that she once sang in Jingzhao Mansion and was so famous! She was born with a good voice, I don't know how good it is! It seems that there will be heavy snow tonight, and the song will be sung tomorrow. The army will not attack the city, but will return home happily!"

Shen Zun said quickly: "Yes, that's what the general said. And feel free to drink as much as you want!"

After saying that, he added: "General, it's getting late, so I helped my father go back to rest. He's old and can't stay up late."

Hu Ci looked at Shen Chaofeng who was sitting not far away and was already taking a nap there. He nodded and said: "You can help the old man back. He looks like he is in low spirits. How can he be like the rest of us! Bring some more wine!" "

Shen Zun agreed and ordered his servants to bring more wine, then moved to the back alone.

Seeing Yu Niang arranging the pipa there, she stepped forward and said: "It's your turn to play next. Be more alert! I will help my father back to the back office. He is too old to stay up late. Just sing, and I will come over to watch later." you."
