The death of the Song Dynasty was caused by human beings.
The emperor personally allowed Guo Jing to recruit soldiers and gave him gold, silver, jade and silk. Not only did he receive a great promotion, but he also violated the ancestral system and allowed him to recruit soldiers.
Recruiting soldiers does not require skill or physical fitness. There is only one condition, which is that the horoscope must match Liujia.
The problem was that Guo Jing didn't know a word of Chinese characters. He only heard the storytellers mention "Liujia", "Dunjia", "Ziwu" and other terms, so he memorized them. What was called "Liujia", he couldn't tell at all.
Therefore, there is only one actual recruitment criterion: as long as he likes it.
When the people in the market saw someone recruiting soldiers, and they didn't ask any conditions, they just needed to hand over their birth date, and they came one after another. Who doesn’t know that being a soldier is easy to make money? On weekdays, you can bully the people and extract money and water. When encountering enemies in battle, you can run fast without losing your life.
Therefore, within ten days, all 7,777 Liujia Divine Soldiers were summoned.
Liujia has all the magic weapons, all it needs is the golden soldiers to test their swords.

Yun Kong has decided to leave.
He packed his luggage as usual, with a straw hat, a yellow cloth bag, and a bamboo pole, nothing more, no more or less.
Mr. Zhuzhou gave him half a Guanqian (five hundred copper coins) for his convenience, and also gave him ten Jiaozi of Guanqian: "When the Taoist priest arrives in Hangzhou, he can exchange it for copper coins at Yu's Jiaozi shop. ."
Yun Kong said with emotion: "Thank you, Mr. Zhuzhou, I am very grateful."
Qi'er hired a donkey to escort Yun Kong to the ferry, got on a familiar boat, gave the boatman some silver, and asked them to take Yun Kong to Hangzhou.
Before leaving, Yun Kong said to Qi'er: "I'm afraid you are the only one I can trust now."
"Why did the Taoist Master say this?"
"Both the master and Qin'er are confused by Guo Jing, but you are the only one who is sober." Yun Kong said sternly: "Therefore, please listen to my words, maybe I can save the lives of the three of you."
Qi'er asked worriedly: "Will Kaifu really be attacked?"
"In case of a meeting, even though you have martial arts skills, you must not resist recklessly and risk your life. Instead, lock the door immediately and buy time to run to the big tree in the backyard, the one your master said will bleed."
"I know which one it is, but why?"
"That's not all. I provide food to that tree every day. I also ask you to leave some food and pour it under the tree after your meal every day. It's better to add some tea or wine."
"Taoist Master," Qi'er felt a little dizzy, "I don't understand."
"That tree is Gao Lu."
"Gao Lu?" Qi'er was startled. He had personally seen Chi Chengzi subduing Gao Lu since the incident at Ping'an Tower, and he was the one who took Gao Lu home according to Master Yu's instructions. Gao Lu had worked in Yu Mansion for seventeen years, and he was very familiar with this person.
However, the year before last, after a forest-like tree suddenly grew in the backyard in the middle of the night, Gao Lu's whereabouts were unknown.
"I didn't tell you what happened that night, but it is absolutely true: those trees were all born by Gao Lu, and that big tree was Gao Lu himself."
"It's incredible!" Qi'er couldn't accept it immediately.
"Gao Lu is a person who knows how to repay kindness. All his evil deeds in the past were all caused by being wronged." Yun Kong held Qi'er's hand, "If you are good to him, he will be good to you."
Qi'er spent some time thinking about what Yun Kong said: "It's not difficult to provide food under a tree, but what's the use of running under a tree in times of crisis?"
"I asked him, he will protect you."

Kaifeng Mansion is getting colder and colder, like a dying old man who is losing his vitality bit by bit.
On November 25th, the legendary Golden Soldiers finally arrived, and the city of Kaifeng immediately became agitated. The citizens rushed to tell each other the bad news. The atmosphere of terror immediately filled the city, and even the wild dogs on the street were afraid of people. Dare to bark.
The Jin people surrounded Kaifeng, but no movement was seen, which made people feel even more frightened. Their hearts felt like a bucket, as if they were animals waiting to be slaughtered at any time.
In the eleventh month of the leap year, another group of Jin soldiers came, and this made people realize: It turned out that it was only the East Route Army that came at first, and they only waited for the West Route Army to arrive before they attacked the city together.
The troops from the east and west routes gathered together, and the Jin people immediately launched a fierce attack.
Kaifeng Mansion, the capital of the Song Dynasty, was helplessly asthmatic in the heavy snow.
The seven thousand seven hundred and seventy-seven Rokko Divine Soldiers enjoyed wine and meat in a joyful atmosphere, and their eyes did not forget to wander around the kaiko and maiko.
Some couldn't help it, so they dragged the maiko to the side to have some erotic fun, and then returned to the venue to drink.
The heavy snow outside is getting heavier and heavier, making the whole city of Kaifeng tremble with cold. The food in the city is decreasing at an incredible speed, and dead bodies are beginning to appear one after another on the streets.
White smoke-like heat rises from the Jin camp outside the city, waiting for work and quietly waiting for the city to wither.
Sun Fu, the Minister of War, urged Guo Jing every day, asking him to quickly use magic weapons to drive away the Jin people.
Is Guo Jing willing to let go of the hard-earned wealth and not enjoy it?
Within a few days, he became a marshal from a pawn, owning a luxurious house and dozens of slaves, who allowed him to indulge in his sexual pleasures every day.
After three months of self-anaesthesia, he gradually almost began to believe: "The Liujia Law is invincible..." But he still had some sobriety: "There is no need to rush to send troops, the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty is not our Liujia Divine Soldiers" Dozens of times? Are you in a hurry to die..."
He has also been on the battlefield and knows how terrifying the Jin people are. It is better to wait for the other soldiers to go to war first. After they win, he can then take advantage of it and keep the magic soldiers and status. Why not? There is no need to worry that the "Liujia Method" will not work...
Guo Jing thought this, and every day Sunfu urged him to send troops, he laughed and said: "I only need to choose a good day and use three hundred magic soldiers to bring peace to the world, drive the Jin people back to their lair, and attack directly." Yinshan!”
When Master Sun came to urge him again, he said: "I am just waiting for work. When the Jin man's arrogance weakens, I am not afraid that he will run away without rolling around!"
This year's Song Dynasty was like a struggling oil lamp, trying its best to burn the last bit of lamp oil, but there was nothing to do. However, the temperature this year was particularly cold, so the Japanese (alchemist) associated the two things together and analyzed: " The national destiny of the Song Dynasty is closely related to heaven and earth. Now that the earth is extremely cold and vegetation is barren, it is naturally difficult to revive the national destiny."
The conclusion is that the annual Spring Festival meeting should be held early.
In the past, the Spring Festival was held on the day before the beginning of spring. The ceremony was to drag a spring cow made of clay into the palace on a wheel. The emperor then symbolically whipped the cow with a whip to urge the cow to plow the fields.
This ceremony is called "Spring Spring", because the next day is the "Beginning of Spring" in the 24 solar terms, which means that after the Spring Whip, spring will come!
On the second day of the eleventh month in the first year of Jingkang, the imperial court announced spring early, hoping that spring would come soon and the weather would no longer be so cold.
It would be best if God were so obedient.
Ironically, on the 24th, the entire sky was filled with dark clouds, making it so dark that it looked like it was about to collapse.
The clouds rarely dropped strands of snow. Each strand was several inches long, spinning in the air and rolling to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the flying snow fell violently from the sky, even more menacing than the golden soldiers.
The heavy snow has continued for days, and the snow has collapsed the roofs of many people. Some people's doors were even blocked by high snowdrifts, and they were trapped in their homes with sad faces.
The snow is also rare. It comes when it comes and stops when it comes.
The snow suddenly stopped, revealing the winter night sky.
In the winter night sky, a comet appeared ominously.
The comet, with its evil tail, moved quietly in the night sky, as if it was making a final inspection of the city, wanting to take a good look at her dying appearance before it fell.
The comet is laughing.
It passed faintly through the night sky, causing the people all over the city to tremble in silence.
When the comet appeared, the emperor was so frightened that he immediately issued an edict: "Guo Jing can defeat the Jin as soon as he goes into battle, why not send troops quickly?"
After this accusation, Sun Fu's neck suddenly felt cold. He immediately dragged his boots soaked in cold sweat and rushed to see Guo Jing.
"Guo Jing, the matter is already critical." Sun Fu put on his usual compromising expression and said with a serious face, "You once said that you should not send troops unless there is a crisis, but now it is a big crisis!"
Guo Jing sat on the extremely comfortable big chair, his whole body sinking into the cotton blanket. He was annoyed that the appearance of the Secretary of the Ministry of War ruined his idea of taking a good rest.
But he was also worried at the same time.
He knew that if he delayed it again and again, he might get his head killed.
He thought over and over again, over and over again.
The appearance of the comet tonight, coupled with the white energy appearing in "Taiwei Yuan" (the name of the constellation) symbolizing the emperor's throne, even the emperor began to hesitate to issue an edict.
