He is the leader of the Witch God Kingdom. Even if he is defeated, he is still a separate force in the hills. Now he has retreated again and again, and he has become a bandit in the river valley.
What Uitokon always wanted was to use the river valley as a base to continue to expand his power, and then wait until his wings were full before he could compete with the Jiangwu family to determine the winner.
It is said that a tiger is deceived by a dog, and a phoenix that has lost its feathers is not as good as a chicken. He was in such a miserable situation, and his words gradually became less effective.
Most of the generals who followed him were unwilling to accept his plan. In the end, they began to defy his orders and deliberately disobeyed his orders. He clearly wanted them to go out of the valley to fight guerrilla warfare. However, the generals never refused to contribute to the outside of the valley. Know how to plunder the mountain people and enjoy themselves wantonly.
Some people even simply surrendered to the Jiangwu coalition and became slaves outside the canyon. This change made Yu Dongjin realize the danger. If this continues, the unstable mentality of the forces will easily collapse quickly, and the various departments can no longer gather their thoughts.
Although Uitochin wanted to unite people's hearts, he was unable to do so. At this time, his prestige was completely gone and his authority was gone. He couldn't even win over the generals who followed him. How could he possibly unite people's hearts? One day, he would completely They compromised and decided to follow the general's wishes and divide the family and money to save their own lives.
Regarding his change, the generals who followed him through life and death were overjoyed. They were originally unwilling to resist in a stalemate anymore. It was already the best outcome to just take money and live alone. In a sense, this kind of public expectation was what the people wanted. , which can be regarded as the final tacit unity between the general and him.
On that day, Yu Dongjin took all the gold and silver jewelry and held a banquet in the square of the walled city for the guests. The table was filled with big fish and meat, and the gold and silver jewelry were placed in piles, making the surrounding jewelry shine. Ruo Yunxia and the generals who came to the banquet were all happy, feeling that after taking the money, good days in this life were coming.
For this reason, the generals became loyal and called the king a few times against their will, waiting for them to be fed and drunk so that they could divide the money.
At this banquet, Ren Dongjin changed from his previous harshness and praised the generals who followed him. He praised them for their loyalty to the Lord and their courage and unyielding spirit. Even at this stage, they would never leave. Now, he Ren Dongjin I also felt that the situation was over, so I decided to give the general a way out, so that everyone could get together and disperse, and never want to do it again.
These words made the generals around him happy and excited. What was gratifying was that Azuma had finally figured it out and was no longer obsessed with the illusory cause of national restoration. What was exciting was that hard work paid off. These people worked hard and risked their lives and finally got it. It's due reward.
All in all, what Uatochin said made the generals look a little moved, and they also relaxed a lot of their vigilance and defensiveness. When they were full of wine and food, Utiochon waved his hand and told these generals to take away what they deserved. A share of money, from then on, the bridge will return to the bridge and the road will return.
These generals were so excited that they had no idea what the Hongmen Banquet was or what playing hard to get meant. As soon as they heard that the treasure was going to be divided, they would pick up their pockets and put money in them. When they saw something they liked, they would grab it in order to get it. I can't wait to start a fight, show my ugly face, won't give an inch, grab everything, and there is no trace of the general's courage at all.
At this point, if you are a sensible general, you should know that something is wrong. These people are all vulgar warriors. They have been blinded by wealth and have lowered their guard. It was not until some generals rushed to grab the poison and died, vomiting blood and foam, that Realizing that the treasure was poisoned.
At this point, it was too late for the generals to get up and escape. These treasures were sprayed with poisonous flowers and poisonous weeds. The more valuable they were, the more poisonous they were. In order to confirm that they were real gold and silver, these generals often had to touch and inhale them. The more valuable the treasure is, the more poisonous it is. The more treasure is taken, the deeper the toxin is. Eventually, the poison will kill you and you will fall to the ground.
In the end, most of the generals who were able to stand on the ground were unwilling to separate their families, or were loyal to Yu Dongjin. As for those generals who had the intention of retreat, they were basically purged in this Hongmen Banquet.
After that, the supporters of these generals began to besiege the forces in the walled city. On the one hand, they wanted to avenge the old commander, and on the other hand, they also wanted to fish in troubled waters and seize the treasure. A scuffle ensued in the walled city, and the remaining tribes set up a trap for each other. Countless people died in the battle, and even the power of Uitojin was mostly consumed, and their vitality was severely weakened.
Their weakness also brought opportunities to the mountain people. These mountain people saw that they were tired of dealing with the loss of troops and generals, so that they could successfully invade the city and clear out all the remaining supporters.
Unexpectedly, Uitokon did not expect that his purge would bring disaster to the walled city. Even he himself died in this internal strife. His plan to counterattack the plains and restore the country also collapsed in this internal strife. It's no longer possible.
When Old Man Mo said this, he had already added a lot of details about the past that he had not mentioned at the beginning. Listening to these words, Song Siyuan gradually understood everything in front of her.
The old man paused and said with emotion: "Anyway, it's been twenty or thirty years since I've seen these things with my own eyes, and I don't know if there is such a thing. These words are what I've heard from people who have besieged the walled city. What the people mentioned was that he told me that the walled city was finished, and I came to the valley for the second time and saw the Jingguan and the solitary grave beside the walled city."
"There are still a lot of corpses like this. I remember that when I came here, the corpses were not completely decomposed. Some of the remnant soldiers mourned for a few days before they died. This was considered good. Some of the remnant soldiers bled too much and were picked up by wild beasts. He came here and had his internal organs eviscerated."
As they spoke, they lifted up withered weeds. The further they walked towards the Walled City Square, the more bizarrely the corpses became. Even after twenty or thirty years, they could still feel the ferocity of the internal strife. Yue Guanchao looked carefully at the tall grass. , I don’t know how many souls of the dead exist under the cover of vegetation.
"I will take you to the Walled City Square. When you see those things, you will know whether what I say is true or false!"
Old Man Mo stopped talking nonsense and led them to cut the weeds and march deeper into the walled city. When the view became wider and wider, they had reached the wide square in front of the walled city. This is located at the westernmost edge of the walled city. Beyond that, there are cliffs. There are walls of houses around it, and a central building like Juyi Hall is built in the middle. It looks symmetrical and has a regular aesthetic. It probably served as a temporary ancestral temple for Yudongjin.
Although it used to be very spacious, after 20 or 30 years, the wide square has long been overgrown with weeds, just like a field of rapeseed flowers in spring, looking green and rippling in the wind.
The Jingguan they were looking for was located in the middle of a green field. It resembled a two-story granary. Many of its arms, legs and feet were weathered and eroded, making it look particularly ancient.
Some people died, but not completely...
