Zichuan is a prosperous place in Shandong, and its output is unusual and comparable to that of a remote county. The exquisite celadon produced here is famous, and it was sold north to Goryeo, Japan, and was also used by the Song people in the Southern Dynasties. As for local celebrities, there are Jinwen Yi Xue from the Han Dynasty
Tian He, the founder, and later the great scholar Zheng Kangcheng also set up an academy here to give lectures.
This city has now been destroyed.
When Shen Mo and You were eliminated, the sky was gloomy and thick clouds were gathering. However, several fires in the city had not been extinguished, and the clouds above were reflected in blood red. Zhao Qian stopped and looked from a distance, only to feel
Those rolling clouds are like the faces of ferocious and terrifying monsters.
And he himself was under the gaze of these demons, as if a violent roar descended from the sky, and then gathered from all directions, pouring into his ears. The sound was either sharp, crazy, mournful, or frightening.
, one after another, making him suddenly feel a little dizzy.
That voice was of course an illusion, and Zhao Yan knew it very well.
Five days ago, while fighting in the city, he was hit by an arrow in the cheek, which penetrated behind his ear. Although it was removed in time, the wound has been in severe pain and itching. Since last night, his forehead has been burning hot and his ears have been buzzing.
, there are always all kinds of weird noises, and I drank several decoctions, but it didn't work.
After the trusted escort sent the military doctor away, they secretly lamented. Several people said that if this continues, Jin Chuang may develop a swelling and his life may be in danger at any time.
The guard thought that Zhao Yan didn't know, but Zhao Yan actually heard it.
But he doesn't care.
During that fierce battle on the city, he originally wanted to die in the battle, but he was hit by such a dangerous arrow, but he did not die. Instead, he defeated Zichuan City and won great praise from the Mongolian nobles. In this regard, Zhao
Jin just thinks it's ridiculous.
But five days later, the high fever actually subsided. Except for the strange buzzing in his ears and physical weakness, Zhao Jin didn't feel any discomfort at all... That's even more ridiculous!
Zhao Yan shook his head violently, almost losing his balance and staggering.
His leather boots made a thumping sound on the ground. Many local officials with forlorn expressions were trembling beside his leather boots.
When Zhao Jin stood firm and stopped in front of them, they fell to the ground in fear. Some people carefully curled up backwards, while others peeked at his expression and showed an exaggerated smile.
Zhao Yan looked at them with disgust.
The real warriors in Zichuan City, such as Qi Yingyang and others, are all dead. What's left are these mediocre people who have fallen with the wind. But Zhao Jin can't rebuke them, all because of himself,
There are countless people around me who are like this.
When Genghis Khan's army captured Feihu Pass, Zhao Gui's brother, Zhao Gui, who was supposed to be stationed here, fled in fear of the battle. Zhao Gui was trapped in the city and was afraid of death, so he led his private soldiers to kidnap the county magistrate.
Surrender, was his posture at that time better than the things in front of him?
What’s funny is that Feihu Pass is facing the Mongolian army’s route to break through Yanshan Mountain, so Zhao Yan joined the Mongolian army earlier than others. So he became a senior in the eyes of these people. And these people gathered around Zhao Yan
In addition to flattery and envy, there is also hidden unwillingness in his eyes.
When the Khitan people were no longer able to survive, they surrendered to the Jurchens. When they thought that the Jurchens were no longer alive, they surrendered to the Mongols. This is a natural principle.
But...after surrendering to the Mongols, is it natural for them to slaughter as much as they want in the past few months?
In the past few months, the number of soldiers and civilians of the Kingdom of Jin who had been killed by Zhao Kuan's troops was more than five or ten times greater than that of the soldiers and civilians of Feihu Pass? And the number of people he had witnessed who died under the butcher's knife of the Mongolian army was even more.
hundred times?
Zhao Yan ignored them completely. He was worried and weak, but he kept walking firmly and quickly and walked quickly.
Walking more than half a mile further, you will arrive at Changguo City. This is a long-abandoned earthen city and is now used as a temporary garrison for the frontline of the Mongolian army.
The road to the stronghold was filled with a strong smell of sweat and blood. Some soldiers were playing with the money they had looted in the past few days to compare whether the harvest was rich or not; some were wearing silk and satin on their bodies and laughing; some were looting
There were women here. Through half the wall, Zhao Yan saw their tawny, naked bodies squirming, and heard bursts of low roars and cries.
Zhao Yan frowned and strode past without stopping.
After several months of massacre, some people like Zhao Jin felt tired and uncomfortable, but others were immersed in it and enjoyed it, becoming less and less like humans and more like beasts.
But what is there to blame? Every newly rising powerful tribe is a beast. Since we are determined to follow the footsteps of the beasts, can we still ask others to keep themselves clean?
Changguo City is not big. After zigzagging through the crowd for hundreds of steps, I looked up and saw several flags leaning horizontally and vertically. In the night wind, the flags sometimes rolled together and sometimes separated.
One flag said "Deputy Marshal Yang Wan", and another flag said "Qianhu Shimo Badier".
Since the Mongols entered the Central Plains, they have even appointed officials at will. Sometimes they use the official names of the Jin Kingdom, and sometimes they use the Mongolian system.
In fact, the deputy marshal and Qianhu are not superior to each other, they are just titles. Zhao Yan, who is a colleague with them, is even a Baihu. However, the position of this Baihu was personally assigned by Genghis Khan, so he is particularly respected.
.
As for the Jeju generals who surrendered, the Jurchen Jiata Lahun only had a commission with a strange name, which was called the "Fourth General Warden". Jiata Lahun claimed that this mission meant to supervise the army; while the other three surrendered generals
Just think of him as a guide.
Under the flag was a luxuriously decorated tent, with lamps lit but the door tightly closed.
Walking closer, Zhao Yan heard the crackle of whips in the room, many men and women wailing, and rough voices yelling curses.
Zhao Yan opened the tent door and went in, and sure enough he saw Shimo Bodel beating his slaves, while Yang Wan was drinking by himself, as if he didn't see the blood and flesh flying everywhere.
Zhao Yan coughed heavily: "There is something going on in Laizhou Guo Ning."
Shima Badier stopped immediately.
He looked at Zhao Yan, opened the tent door, and drove out a few crying men and women: "That bitch finally moved? How do you say it?"
It turns out that just a few months ago, Shi Mo Bedier's position was the civil officer of Pingqu Water Village in Bazhou. On that day, Guo Ning arranged for farming around the Xijunhe camp to collect grain. His farming area was as far as Bazhou.
Prefecture. Wang Shixian, who was in charge of this matter, also visited Shi Mobedie'er, and the two families had some friendship.
At that time, although Guo Ning was powerful, Shi Mobedier was a local snake, so he was not afraid of him.
However, after the Mongols invaded, everything turned upside down. Shimo Bedier surrendered to the Mongols, and they fought in front and behind, while Guo Ning ran away with oil on his feet.
Just run away. For some reason, Guo Ning's name was still remembered by Tuo Lei, the fourth prince of the Mongols. This time, the four generals led their troops deep into Shandong. The fourth prince warned him several times beforehand, always saying that the most important thing was
The target is Guo Ning...
How could Shi Mobedie'er tolerate the Fourth Prince's attitude?
He had long made up his mind to smash Shandong East Road and take Guo Ning's head to claim credit.
"Tanma came to report that Guo Ning's command sent a large-scale reinforcements the day before yesterday, passing through Changyi and Beihai, and will arrive at Yidu."
Shi Mobedie'er sneered and asked: "It's huge? How big is it?"
Zhao Yan took out the military report: "There are more than 500 vehicles loaded with supplies and more than 5,000 soldiers."
Yang Wan came over from the side and took a look at the military report: "Five thousand soldiers? Did they all come out in full force?"

Zichuan is also the hometown of Pu Songling. In addition, there is a farm village in Xihe Town, Zichuan, with beautiful scenery.
