The Tatars came faster than the Jin army thought. Thousands of troops and horses with blood and deep vengeance in their hearts rushed like a turbulent black tide. Also trembled.

As the soldiers approached the city, the Tatar envoys came out and shouted that if the king of Jin was willing to bow his head and surrender, they would not only protect the soldiers of the Jin army and the people in the city, but also give the king of Jin a fief of thousands of hectares of fine clothes and food, and move them outside the Great Wall to continue to be a happy prince.But no matter how tempting their surrender conditions are, the soldiers on the top of the city seem to have never heard of them, and they are not moved at all.

The low blue and black towers of Tongzhou City were almost broken in front of the Tatar cavalry. The faces of the soldiers of the Jin army stationed on the towers were tense and unrelenting, and the hands holding the weapons were bulging because of too much force. All the veins.In troubled times, human life can be as light as grass, or as important as Mount Tai. The outcome is already decided, and the situation is hard to return. At this moment, they only have the desolation and sadness of seeing death as home.They are the soldiers of King Jin, with righteousness in life and integrity in death, copper skin and iron bones, loyalty to the liver and red courage.

Selling the country and seeking profit from the enemy can be done by the emperor of "Bao Yuan Lude", and Wei You, who is "uncompromising in loyalty", can do it, but Jin Wang, who "forms a party to monopolize power and is rebellious and innocent", will never do it. will do it!And at the end of this battle, after all, he was the only King Jin who was the one who was the most sinful and infamous...

When the Tatars charged, Shensi was brushing his pony named Zhanfeng in the stable. He brushed very carefully, once and for all, as if completing some kind of sacred ceremony.

It was a sunny autumn day, and the hay was baked golden and slightly hot by the sun, exuding a green aroma.There was no one around the stables. A crow swaggered and landed on the crooked tree that had lost all its leaves, quacked twice, and flew away with flapping wings.Shen Si looked up at the crow's back for a moment, and there was a faint sadness in his eyes.

At this moment, the King of Jin should be discussing with the generals and officers in the big tent, right?Thinking of King Jin, Shen Si felt a sharp pain in his heart, like countless steel needles piercing into flesh and blood.He pursed his lips and closed his eyes for a while, then opened them again, and continued to scrub the horse.

Zhanfeng's black fur glistened in the sun, and his hooves were as white as snow. He stood there quietly, his eyes looking tenderly at his thoughts.Shen Si slowly put down the brush, and gently hugged the horse's neck, one person and one horse leaned on each other, without saying a word for a long time.

From the beginning to the end, no matter whether he got caught in a fierce battle, was miserably calculated, or ended up at the end of the road, King Jin never complained harshly to Shen Si, and even tried every means to tell a joke to reassure him.But the more this happened, the more regretful and guilty Shen Si felt.

Back then, he was a disciple of Mr. Zeng Cang, and when it came to discussing the art of war and battle formation, he thought that he would not lose to Wei You, but when it came to calculations and tactics, he was far inferior to him.He was really too conceited this time, he conceitedly thought that he knew Wei You well, but he didn't know that it was precisely because of this "self-confidence" that he was played by the other party in the applause.

It turns out that the world is the most poisonous, but people's hearts...

For more than half a month, the Tatars surrounded the city of Tongzhou, and they attacked in turn every day, as if they had cast a spell to cast beans into soldiers, and they couldn't kill them all.

The Jin army is trapped in the city, with no food and grass inside, no aid outside, and a lack of medical care. What is available is just a letter of military reports from all over Jinyuan. Yuzhou is in a hurry!Fenzhou is urgent!Jinyang is in a hurry!

At first they were still calculating the exact time, but then they gradually lost the time to take care of it.Regardless of day or night, the soldiers went into battle as soon as they opened their eyes, and retreated to take a rest until they were exhausted. But before their physical strength fully recovered, the next attack of the Tatars began again.Soldiers fought bloody battles against the enemy in order to protect their parents, wives and children in their hometown, but now their parents, wives and children are also in the flames of war, and their life and death are uncertain.

So some mistakes are unavoidable!The man was not famous at birth, but he was buried among the barbarians when he died. He was never afraid of death when he meditated. He only hated that because of his own mistakes, thousands of soldiers and countless people were implicated, as well as Jin Wang Weilu who had a deep affection for him.

Day after day, Shen Si became extremely silent. Every time he went to battle, he would lead the soldiers and rush to the front, killing people like Yama possessed him without blinking an eye. He even failed to hear the order to withdraw troops several times.No one knew that he actually went to the front line with the idea of ​​dying. Every day, he secretly hoped in his heart that he could just do his best and die on the battlefield.Because if he doesn't die, he can't make up for the sins he committed!If he doesn't die, he will be sorry for those relatives, brothers, friends, and soldiers who died because of him!

In the past, he always had pity in his heart, even if he faced the enemy on the battlefield, he would only defeat the opponent openly and aboveboard, and he would have some respect for the courageous and insightful defeated generals.But now he has only one thought in his heart, kill!kill!kill!

One, two, three... Countless heads rolled into the dust with splattered blood, and they stared with hideous faces. Those Tatar cavalrymen were tall or short, fat or thin, they had no names, they were all Enemies, they are all going to die!

Shen Si remembered that it was a scarred hand, skinny, rough and black, and the nails were full of stinky mud.The owner of the hand has fallen from the horse and fell to the ground, and the weapon is also missing.The hand was raised from the ground with difficulty, trying to grab the stirrup of meditation was not so much an attack as a struggle.Following that hand, Shen Si saw the owner of the hand. It was a man in his twenties with high and protruding cheekbones, dark red skin, and blood-glued hair sticking to his cheeks.What's his name?Where is his home?Did he marry a wife and have children?Every spring, does he take his wife and children to drive the sheep and sing pastoral songs, and migrate from one pasture to another?Will there be a big yellow dog jumping and having fun outside the newly pitched tent...

But these are not important anymore!Shen Si raised the knife and cut off the hand together with the arm. The body without the arm sprayed out a large stream of blood, and fell crookedly to one side, and was soon trampled into a pile by the following horseshoes. muddy puddles, while the hand still clings tightly to the stirrup of contemplation.

That was the largest breakout initiated by the Jin army. Before that, all the breakout operations ended in failure.The breakout lasted for a day and a night, and there were a few times of contemplation leading people to work hard to break through the small gap, but soon, the gap closed again at a speed that would make people desperate.King Jin repeatedly sent people to escort Shen Si to leave first, but Shen Si refused to leave King Jin and the soldiers to survive alone anyway.After all, he shouldn't be the one who deserves to live.

Also on that day, the pensive horse died.The horse's belly was cut wide by a sharp knife, and the blue-purple intestines were dragged out of the old man. He neighed in pain, but his figure didn't stagger or flinch at all. The horse steadily carried him and fought all the way until Ming Jin retreated, Shen Si was safely sent back to the suspension bridge in front of the city gate, only to fall to the ground with a "plop".

Shensi tried to pull it up, but it didn't even have the strength to raise its head, only its snow-white and light hooves were still trembling slightly, as if excitedly kicking before going into battle every time.It just looked at Shen Si calmly, with clear and gentle eyes, and swallowed its last breath amidst Shen Si's constant calls.

Shen Si lightly stroked the copper nails on the saddle, which were polished and inlaid by his father Shen Wei himself. Although they had gone through countless battles and were stained with blood several times, every nail on the top was wiped clean by Shen Si with sheep oil shiny.His father is gone, his brothers are gone, his sister, brother-in-law and unborn child are all gone. Xiao Ma Zhanfeng, he can be regarded as his last relative, and now he has also left him.Shen Si lay on the horse, rubbing his face against the horse's neck, for a long, long time, until the horse's hair was wet with tears...

On August [-]th, Shen Si's birthday, King Jin prepared two altars of good wine, lit a pair of red candles, and personally cooked birthday noodles to celebrate Shen Si's birthday.

The sound of fighting outside the city was endless. The soldiers were wounded and died, and the city of Tongzhou gradually emptied.The king of Jin was ready, and the next morning he broke all the boats and launched the last breakout, life or death, success or failure, in one fell swoop.

The meal was cold, neither of the two moved their chopsticks, each was full of thoughts.Going round and round, pondering that the love debt owed to the King of Jin is still unfinished, so I can only promise the next life... But people die like a lamp goes out, who has seen the next life?

The moonlight slid slowly by like mercury, and King Jin raised his glass to toast Shen Si: "As constant as the moon, as rising as the sun. As long as Nanshan's life, never dying or dying."

It's a pity that the glass of wine is bitter, and it's hard to swallow in meditation: "Shou Zhi, I'm the one who got you in trouble."

The king of Jin put his arms around the shoulders of contemplation, and smiled calmly: "A man can't eat five tripods in his life, and he should cook with five tripods when he dies. How many people are there who can make the emperor of a country give up the territory, despise the country, and sleep uneasy? What kind of BMW fragrance? Chariots, jewels, emerald carvings and furs, such gold branches and jade leaves as a prince, are nothing more than a fleeting sight to me, and being able to have Nianqing by my side for several years is already the greatest joy in Wei Lu's life, so why bother?"

Shen Si sighed: "If Ning Cheng hadn't met that day, you wouldn't have..."

"What will happen?" King Jin shook his head with a wry smile, "If we hadn't met each other in Ningcheng that day, your family would not have been ruined, your family would have been ruined, your reputation would have been ruined, and you would not be able to justify your grievances. Brother Blade, you are surrounded by enemies. However, Nian Qing, I have never regretted acquainting you."

Shen Si listened quietly, his eyes were hot: "I have no regrets to be able to fight with you to the last moment!" Wine has meat, keep it, why don't I dance swords to cheer you up."

King Jin was taken aback, and then joked: "I remember the day we first met, drinking and celebrating in the government office, I was so excited that I once made you dance the sword, but you said that your sword is a bloodthirsty sword for fighting on the battlefield, but The sword of appreciation that is not arty, forcibly swept away the face of my dignified prince."

Shen Si held the sword in his hand, and lightly pulled out a few gorgeous silver flowers: "Back then you were Wei Lu, king of Jin Dynasty in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I was Shen Si, general of Yifu Wei, but now you are guarding it for an old and disrespectful person. Poor Shen Xiaowu. Since you are the love of my life, I will be happy if I can please you." While speaking, he staggered a bit, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. I'm a little drunk..."

King Jin opened his mouth as if to speak, but his voice was covered by the sudden rumbling and thunder from outside the city. In the northwest direction of Tongzhou City, a huge fireball rose in the sky, and the fireball gradually fell silent, falling like meteors. After a splash, more fireballs soared into the sky, illuminating the night sky as if it were day.

The gates are broken...the time has come...

"Shou Zhi..." Shen Si turned her head and tried to focus on King Jin, but her eyelids drooped heavily, and the scene in front of her eyes became more and more blurred.You must be really drunk, how can you be so sleepy... so sleepy... so sleepy...

His body fell down uncontrollably, and was gently caught by a strong arm. Before he lost consciousness, he heard King Jin humming in his ear: "Lanyue Mountain, Yupai River, five Baizhang, to the horizon, on the top of the red cliff, there are gods, go with the wind, into the clouds..."

Embracing the bright moon, shoulder to shoulder, good life, reunion forever...
