Qinglong sneered and said: "This is indeed very Xuanwu. Lord Xuanwu, it is a pleasure every time I see your clever methods of attacking dissidents. I just want to remind you to provoke the emperor and the king of Kuaiji." Civil war is our established plan, and now you can't stop it even if you want to. According to Fan Ning's intention this time, it is obvious that the families loyal to the emperor and the forces loyal to the King of Kuaiji will take up important positions in various states. They will not It’s weird if you pinch me, you can’t stop it.”
Xuanwu sighed: "It's what happened, and I can't undo it. Let's first attack those people who want to take advantage of the opportunity to rise to power, and let Jing replace Xuan. We'll see what happens next step by step, but I hope this time It is best not to end the struggle with civil war, and even if you want to eliminate those ambitious small and medium-sized aristocratic families, it should not get out of hand."
Bai Hu laughed loudly: "What's so uncontrollable? Anyway, the battle in the north is like this, so it doesn't matter. The new news I received today is that Fu Jian finally gave up on Chang'an and broke out."
Suzaku was a little surprised: "He gave up on Chang'an? What happened?"
Qinglong said gloomily: "That Wang Jia and Fu Jian calculated the hexagram and came up with a solution to the hexagram, saying that the emperor would be able to find peace by giving out five generals. There is Wujiang Mountain on the right side of Longlong, where the Di people used to be nomadic for a long time. In his hometown, Fu firmly believed this. In addition, the situation in Chang'an City was very miserable. It had already reached the point where people cannibalize each other. It was useless to defend it any longer. So Fu Jian took a few hundred cavalry to break out, saying that he was going to Longyou area to recruit troops. He came to relieve the siege of Chang'an and left the city to Prince Fu Hong."
Xuanwu sneered and said: "There is still a glimmer of hope in Chang'an. If you go out, you will die. With the battle in Guanzhong like this, there will be no reinforcements. If the Qin forces in various places were loyal to him, they would have come to rescue him long ago. It was he who escaped." , how is it possible to recruit troops? To say the least, even if there is an army, where will the food and grass come from? I think it was Wang Jia who saw the wind and realized that the former Qin was bound to be defeated, so he wanted to leave some way out for himself. Xianbei and Xiyan did not He will stay in Guanzhong for a long time, but Yao Chang's Qiang army has long been eyeing him. If my prediction is correct, Fu Jian will not die at the hands of Murong Xianbei, but will be captured by Yao Chang!"
Bai Hu smiled and took out a roll of silk from his arms: "Master Xuanwu is Master Xuanwu. It is not an exaggeration to predict things like a god. Yes, just before we entered this hall, the latest news was that Fu Jian was on the 5th. Jiangshan fell into the hands of Yao Chang, I think we should mourn in advance for this heroic lord of the north."
Guanzhong, Wujiang Mountain.
In an abandoned mountain temple, Fu Jian was dressed in military uniform, with his helmet crooked and cracked, and his gray hair stuck tightly to his forehead with sweat. There were shouts and the neighing of horses outside, and occasionally there were a few words: "Protect the Heavenly King." "The roar will soon end with a few screams, and more of them are uniform Qiang voices: "Capture Fu Jian alive, let us fight to avoid death, capture Fu Jian alive, let us fight to avoid death !”
Behind Fu Jian, Mrs. Zhang, in a Jingchai dress and unkempt face, hugged her two daughters, Fu Bao and Fu Jin, tightly. They were only six or seven years old. They looked frightened and didn't know what was going on outside. , and the youngest son, Zhongshan Gong Fu Shen, who is less than ten years old, is also wearing a suit of obviously larger mail armor, holding a long sword in his hand, and is guarding the door with more than a dozen attendants, their faces are full of tears. Written with despair, Fu Shen turned around and shouted to Fu Jian: "Father, please leave quickly, we will defend you against the pursuers!"
Fu Jian smiled miserably and shook his head: "That's all, this is a trap, just to lure us here. We just left Chang'an, and even the Xianbei Yan thieves didn't notice our movements, but we encountered an ambush by the Qiang thieves here. It can't be a coincidence. Since they have laid a dragnet, they will never give us a chance to escape. Instead of being captured by the thieves without dignity like that, it is better to take it calmly. Come, prepare food for us, we are here. Let’s wait here for Yao Chang to arrive.”
After he finished speaking, he turned to Mrs. Zhang and smiled: "Madam, you and I are husband and wife. I once said that I will live and die with you in this life, and I will live up to my words."
Mrs. Zhang's eyes sparkled with tears: "Heavenly King, you have been as kind as a mountain to my concubine, and I have nothing to repay. Now that the matter has come to this, I will never fall into the hands of the enemy and bring shame to the King of Heaven. King of Heaven, I am willing to serve you again in the next life." you."
As she spoke, she stood up, took the hands of her two daughters, and said softly: "Bao'er, Jin'er, Mom will take you to a good place, where no one will scare you again."
The two children burst into tears and laughed, holding their mother's hand, jumping up and down, and walked towards the back of the statue. The two maids, crying and holding a few white silk ribbons, followed.
Fu Jian's eyes were sparkling with tears, but he turned his head cruelly, picked up a naan cake in his hand, and gnawed it hard. As he gnawed, two lines of tears fell from his eyes. Soon, there was a burst of sound from behind. The woman's cry: "Madam, princess..."
The roars and sounds of fighting outside gradually subsided. The sounds of military boots and horse hooves on the ground came from far away, and finally merged together. They stopped outside the temple. A rough voice rang out: "The last general of the Great Qin Dynasty Xiaoqi General Wu Zhong." , on the orders of my lord Yao Dashanyu, come to greet King Fu Tian."
Fu Shen said angrily: "Evil thieves must not be rude. There is only one Great Qin, and it was founded by my father. How does your traitor, who rebelled against his master and established himself, have the right to be called Great Qin?!"
Fu Jian said calmly: "Xun'er, don't use your words, just retreat. General Wu, I remember that I personally appointed you as the captain of the heroic cavalry. I didn't expect that it would be you who came to arrest me today."
Wu Zhong's voice was filled with guilt, and came from outside: "I will be ashamed of the King of Heaven, but I will follow Da Shanyu for many years, and the King of Heaven will force Da Danyu too much, so that he has to raise troops to protect himself, so I can only follow, The Heavenly King is so kind and can only be repaid in the future. However, the Heavenly King can rest assured that the Great Chan Yu has an order to never harm the Heavenly King. As long as you obey the general’s instructions and go with the general to Xinping, the general will absolutely guarantee that the Heavenly King and the people around you will be protected. safety."
Fu Jian laughed: "Wu Zhong, I am the King of Qin. Even if my luck is bad, I am destined to end my life here. I will not go anywhere. Gu's wife and children have already taken the first step to avoid humiliation. These guards are loyal to their duties." , please open your eyes and let them live."
The dozen or so guards all knelt down and cried: "King of Heaven, I am willing to die for the King of Heaven!"
Fu Jian sighed: "Ants still live in vain, let alone humans. Fu Jian is sorry for all of you, for causing this. You should go home early and cherish your families and lives."
Wu Zhong waved his hand, and his subordinates made way for a passage and put away their weapons. The guards sighed to each other, shed tears, threw down their weapons, saluted to Fu Jian and left. Wu Zhong watched their figures go away and waved his hand: " Please, King of Heaven, follow me on my journey!"
