Chapter 185 The Game of Chess

Zichuan is a place of prosperity in Shandong, and its output is comparable to that of an unusual and remote county.The exquisite celadon produced here is famous, and it was sold to Korea and Japan in the north, and was also used by the Song people in the Southern Dynasties.As for local celebrities, there is Tian He, the founder of Jinwen Yixue in Han Dynasty, and Zheng Kangcheng, a great Confucian later, also set up an academy here to give lectures.

This city has now been destroyed.

At the time of Shen Mo You Chu, the sky was gloomy, with thick clouds everywhere, and several fires in the city had not been extinguished for a long time, which reflected the clouds above in blood red.Zhao Yu stopped and looked around from a distance, only to feel that those rolling clouds looked like the faces of ferocious and terrifying demons.

And he himself, under the watchful eyes of these monsters, seemed to have a violent roar descending from the air, and then gathered from all directions, pouring into his ears.The voice was either sharp, mad, mournful, or terrified, one after another, making him suddenly feel a little dizzy.

That voice was of course a hallucination, Zhao Yu knew it very well.

Five days ago when Li Dengcheng was fighting, he was shot in the cheek by an arrow, and the arrow cluster went straight behind his ear.Although it was pulled out in time, the wound has been in severe pain and itching. Since last night, his forehead was hot, his ears were buzzing, and there were always various strange noises. He drank several soups and medicines, but it didn't work.

After the trusted guard sent the military doctor away, he secretly lamented.Several people said that Jin Chuang might break out into a sore if it goes on like this, and his life will be in danger at any moment.

The guard thought Zhao Ting didn't know, but Zhao Ting actually heard it.

But he didn't care.

In that fierce battle on the city, he went to fight to the death, but he was hit by such a dangerous arrow, and he survived. Instead, he knocked down the city of Zichuan, and won the great admiration of the Mongolian nobles.In this regard, Zhao Yu only felt that it was absurd.

And five days later, the high fever subsided, and apart from the strange humming in the ear and weakness, Zhao Ting didn't feel any discomfort... That's even more absurd!
Zhao Yu shook her head violently, but she almost lost her balance and staggered.

His leather boots stomped on the ground, thumping.And many local officials with miserable appearance were trembling beside his leather boots.

When Zhao Yu stood firm and stood in front of them, they fell to the ground in fear.Some people carefully curled up their bodies, while others peeked at his expression and showed exaggerated smiles.

Zhao Yu gave them a disgusted look.

Those real warriors in Zichuan City, such as Qi Yingyang and others, are all dead.The rest are these mediocre people who fall with the wind.But Zhao Yu couldn't reprimand them, because he and countless people around him were like this.

When Genghis Khan's army captured Feihu Pass, Zhao Yu's elder brother, Zhao Gui, who was supposed to be stationed here, fled in fear of the battle.Zhao Yu was left in the city, afraid of death, so he led his private soldiers to coerce the county magistrate to surrender. At that time, his posture was better than these guys in front of him?

The ridiculous thing is that the Feihu pass is facing the Mongolian army breaking through the road to Yanshan, so Zhao Yu joined the Mongolian army earlier than everyone else.So he became a senior in the eyes of these people.And the eyes of these people gathered on Zhao Yu, apart from flattery and envy, there was also hidden unwillingness.

When the Khitans failed, they surrendered to the Jurchens. It was natural for the Jurchens to surrender to the Mongols.

But... after surrendering to the Mongols, is it natural to have slaughtered as much as you want in the past few months?

In the past few months, the soldiers and civilians of Dajin Kingdom were killed by Zhao Yu's troops, five times and ten times more than the soldiers and civilians at Feihu Pass?And what he witnessed, the number of dead under the butcher knife of the Mongolian army was more than a hundred times?
Zhao Yu completely ignored them.He was preoccupied and physically weak, but he maintained firm and quick steps and walked quickly.

Going forward for more than half a mile, you will arrive at Changguo City.This is an earthen city that has been abandoned for a long time, and is now used as a temporary stronghold for the front of the Mongolian army.

On the road to the stronghold, there was a strong smell of sweat and blood.Some soldiers took the money looted in the past few days to play with, and compared whether the harvest was bountiful; some put silk and satin on their bodies and laughed; some captured women here.Through half of the wall, Zhao Ting saw their tawny, naked bodies wriggling, and heard low growls and cries.

Zhao Yu frowned, strode past without stopping.

After several months of massacre, some people feel bored and unwell like Zhao Ting, but there are also people who are immersed in it, enjoying it, becoming less and less human, and more like beasts.

But what is there to blame?Every newly rising powerful tribe is a beast.Now that he is determined to follow in the footsteps of the wild beasts, can he still ask others to keep clean?
Changguo City is not big, and after walking hundreds of steps through the crowd, when I looked up, I saw a few banners leaning in a haphazard manner.Under the blowing of the night wind, the flags sometimes rolled together and sometimes separated.One flag reads "Deputy Marshal Yang Wan", and the other reads "Qianhu Shimabodier".

Since the Mongols entered the Central Plains, they have even been appointed at will, sometimes using the official name of the Jin Kingdom, and sometimes using the Mongol system.

In fact, the deputy marshal and Qianhu can't talk about who is superior and who is inferior, they are just titles.Zhao Yu, who is a colleague of them, even has a hundred households.However, the position of this hundred households was personally awarded by Genghis Khan, so it is especially respected.

As for the general of Jeju, the Jurchen Jata Lahun, there is only one dispatch with a strange name, called the "Four-way General Guard".Jatarahun claimed that the meaning of this dispatch was to supervise the army; while the other three surrendered generals only regarded him as a guide.

Below the flag was a luxuriously decorated tent. The lamp was lit in the tent, but the tent door was tightly closed.

When he got closer, Zhao Xuan heard the crackling of leather whips in the room, the sobbing and whining of many men and women, and the swearing in rough voices.

Zhao Xuan opened the tent door and went in, and sure enough, he saw Shima Bodier was beating his slaves, while Yang Wan was drinking wine alone, as if he didn't see the blood flying everywhere.

Zhao Yu coughed heavily: "There is a move for Guo Ning in Laizhou."

Shimabodier suddenly stopped.

He looked at Zhao Xuan, opened the tent door, and drove out several crying men and women: "The dog finally moved? How do you say it?"

It turned out that just a few months ago, Shi Mobodie'er's position was the administrator of the Pingqu Water Village in Bazhou.On that day, Guo Ning arranged to garrison fields around the camp at the Feijun River to gather grain, and the area where he garrisoned fields went as far as Bazhou.Wang Shixian, who was in charge of this matter, also called on Shi Mobo Dier, and the two families had some friendship.

At that time, although Guo Ning was powerful, Shi Mobodier was a proper local snake, and he was not afraid of him.

However, after the Mongols invaded, everything turned upside down.Shimobodier surrendered the Mongols and fought back and forth, while Guo Ning ran away like oil on the soles of his feet.

Just run away, for some reason, Guo Ning's name is still remembered by the fourth prince of the Mongols, Tuo Lei.This time the four generals led their troops to go deep into Shandong. The fourth prince had repeatedly told him that the most important target was Guo Ning...

How can Shi Mobodier bear the fourth prince's posture?
He had made up his mind a long time ago that he had to smash Shandong East Road and take Guo Ning's head to claim credit.

"Exploring the horse to report, Guo Ning's department sent a large-scale reinforcement team a few days ago, passing through Changyi and Beihai, and will arrive in Yidu."

Shi Mobodier asked with a sneer: "The scale is huge? How big is it?"

Zhao Xuan took out the military newspaper: "There are more than [-] vehicles fully loaded with supplies, and more than [-] soldiers."

Yang Wan came over from the side and took a look at the military newspaper: "Five thousand soldiers? Could it be that these guys came out in force?"

　Zichuan is also the hometown of Pu Songling.In addition, there is a farm cottage in Xihe Town, Zichuan, and the scenery is quite good.
