Chapter 106 Death

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

The crisp sound of the whip came,

Immediately afterwards,

was a powerful horn.

Situ Lei, who was dressed in military uniform, stood on the chariot, holding the railing in front of him with his left hand, and holding a flag embroidered with the Situ family emblem with his right hand. Behind the chariot, there was a gift from the Ancestral Temple. The tablets of the Situ family heads in the past dynasties.

In fact, Situ Lei had the Emperor's Sword and a set of Emperor's Chengyi, but it took less than a year to establish the country, not to mention the soldiers below, that is, Situ Lei himself felt that the so-called Emperor Sword, the so-called dragon robe, and all the decorations were a burden.

Situ Lei remembers his father’s favorite words when he taught his brothers:

The bastard in the pond is pretending to be Xuanwu.

A long time ago, Situ Lei always thought that he was Xuanwu. He was the best successor of the Situ family in this generation. His excellence was recognized by everyone.

When he became an adult, he guarded the south and defeated several offenses by the Chu army. Later, he entered the court, which showed his ability.

Weaving wings, snaring talents, and subduing people's hearts, he was clearly neither the legitimate son nor the eldest son, but he was able to push his two brothers far away and let them go to the snowfield to eat snow.

Because of his father's old age and his own growth, he had already mastered most of the power of the Situ family a long time ago.

He is Xuanwu, the Xuanwu guarding the East, he has always thought so.

When the Yan army entered the Jin Dynasty, Situ Lei did not resist and led his army to the northeast to resist the rising barbarians.

Some people in the government and the public are talking about it, saying that he is using his righteousness to threaten Emperor Yan, which is extremely clever.

But no emperor or monarch dared to pin his own country on the integrity of neighboring monarchs.

It was his pride that made him issue such an order. What surprised him a little was that the emperor of Dayan actually understood him to a certain extent.

Not only did Zhi Ge stop, but he also sent one of Dayan's most capable marquises to go to the snowy fields to help him relieve his pressure.

The reserve of the weak is just the final shabbyness, but the benevolence and righteousness of the strong is the true generosity.

Situ Lei really wanted to go to Yanjing to meet the Emperor of Yan, have a drink and laugh with His Majesty the Emperor of Yan.

Of course, this sight must mean a kind of bowing of head, a kind of legal surrender.

In fact, Situ Lei also thinks that it is not so unacceptable if he really bows to Yan.

After all, proud people will only identify with more proud people.

However, the pride that originally belonged to him was completely destroyed in the Snow Customs. The most elite soldiers and horses that the Situ family had managed for generations were almost completely lost in the vast snowfield.

The savages who had not entered the customs for hundreds of years began toIt is a shame to wreak havoc on the land of Sanjin. Whether you are a Jin person, a descendant of the Situ family or a survivor of Daxia, it is a shame that goes deep into your bones.

There are many reasons for losing, including underestimating the enemy, the betrayal of his two brothers, the division of family power, and so on.

Many nights, he couldn't help but think about what he would do if he was given another chance, but he also knew in his heart that there was no possibility of repeating everything. .

Outside Yingdu, the rebel troops have gathered. Behind the rebels, there are savage troops pressing the formation. They did not attack Yingdu, but what are they waiting for? Their two brothers. Situ Lei knew what he was waiting for and what he was thinking about.

This is the battle of general trends. Without the intervention of external forces, there will rarely be a so-called lose-lose situation. What often appears is a kind of decline and gain.

Many people thought that he was going to lose, and most people felt that he could not win.

"I am not convinced!"

These three words were bitten out of Situ Lei's mouth, and a slight blush appeared on his originally pale face.

He is the younger brother of the Situ family, and he upholds the pride of the Situ family. When his father became old and frail and began to be afraid of the Yan people, he did not hesitate to borrow the Sword Master's sword and use it to kill the already decayed father. The father sent him away.

He wants to prove to the world that his decision is right, that he can take over his father's mantle and pass on the family's mission better.

Better...

The eunuchs in the palace came out carrying boxes of gold and silver treasures.

The maids brought the wine from the treasury and began to distribute it to the surrounding soldiers.

In front of the chariot where Situ Lei stood, generals knelt on the ground.

The ears of these generals are still echoing the two sentences His Majesty said when he summoned him last night:

Twenty or thirty years from now, facing your grandsons, When they ask you about today, how do you want to tell them and tell them what your ancestors did today.

I have already issued a letter of credence to the State of Yan, and it is a foregone conclusion that Cheng will annex Yan State. You don’t have to fight for me in this battle, but you have to show it to the Yan people. I am a man of the State of Jin. , Not all are cowards, not all are cowards. This is a fight for your own future. The Yan people value warriors, so show off and let them see! In this way, you can still have a standing position in the future!

………

Yingdu is a big city. Its scale is actually much larger than Quhe and Litian City. The three-provincial Jin Dynasty has been divided into Jin Dynasties for hundreds of years. The political center is The effect also spreads out for enough time.

For this reason, the imperial city of the Jin Kingdom in the capital city has become increasingly shabby and cramped in recent years, while the "capital cities" of the three families have gradually shown their grandeur.

Power seems to be the source of everything. No matter where it is, everything else will be attracted to it..

Mr. Situ Chunsheng was sitting in his Taishi chair. A maid next to him was fanning himself. A string of Bodhi beads was constantly coiled in the old man's hand.

In this city, some people are panicking, and naturally some people are complacent, as if everything is under control.

Obviously, Mr. Situ Chunsheng belongs to the latter.

Beside him, his eldest son Situ Youcheng was peeling oranges for his old man.

"Dad, I heard from the people below that His Majesty left the palace and the city, went to the military camp, and ordered the general to recruit troops."

"Heh." Situ Chunsheng smiled disdainfully. With a cry, he said: "Our Majesty, you haven't given in defeat yet."

Situ Youcheng said:

"It seems that it's not time to completely admit defeat, right? ”

“I can’t hold on anymore. I can’t hold on anymore. The army of the uncle and the second master have already crossed Wangjiang, and they are only dozens of miles away from our Yingdu.

"Dad, what's the letter from the second uncle?"

"I'll wait for the second uncle to come back. You are a minister."

"That's it."

"Since the day our Majesty ascended the throne, I felt something was wrong.

Patricide. God forsakes it, look, as expected, this great country, this ancestral foundation, is really almost lost to him.

Oh, the family is unfortunate and has unworthy descendants. ."

"Yes, what dad said is true."

"Look, there are a lot of soldiers gathered outside the city, and some of them are really iron. Follow him all the way to death. After all, this is a matter for us, the Situ family, to fight for position. No one is really a fool and is willing to risk his life for this matter.

Especially those military generals who were most loyal to our Majesty, they were all buried in the snowfields and few came back. Haha, this emperor deserves it, but it’s really not interesting at all. He’s not even sitting on his butt. We have to make room.

By the way, have you arranged the things that your father asked you to do?"

"How dare I neglect this? We are the ones responsible for guarding the West City. The person recommended by my family was the yamen where my son used to work. The son just went to get some information, and they immediately understood and there would be no problem in keeping it."

"Hand over a fan. The city gate is almost enough to give an explanation to the uncle and the second master."

"I just don't know what the savages say."

"The savages, there is no one. They are just animals who have seen the world. After they have eaten and drank enough, they have gone to work. Do you know why they are not in a hurry to attack here?

The savages are afraid of the Yan people. "

"That's why..."

"You're not too stupid. Since neither party wants to see the situation get completely worse, then the situation can't get any worse." Go.

When the eldest and second uncles enter Yingdu and the eldest uncle ascends the throne, Dong Mian'er will appease the barbarians, and West Mian'er will bow his head to the Yan people, and life will go on like this.

Our surname is Situ after all. How can we be worse in this day and age? "

"That's right, no matter how big the Yan people's belly is, they can't eat so much in one go, or it will burst. ”

“Hey, that’s the truth. "

"Bang! "

At this moment, the door of the inner house was knocked open from the outside, and a group of family guards began to retreat continuously, holding knives but not daring to stop the intruder.

"Wantless, Who is it, who is it! ”

Situ Chunsheng’s old man was so angry that he yelled.

Situ Youcheng also stood up. His eyes were better than his old man’s. He saw that the leader was actually his second son. My younger brother, my third brother and my fourth brother, as well as a group of third generations, including my two sons.

"According to His Majesty's decree, we will kill the traitors! "Situ Youde shouted.

Behind him, a group of Situ family disciples drew their weapons.

"Beasts, beasts! Are you going to rebel against heaven? Are you going to rebel against heaven? I’m not dead yet, I’m not dead yet! "

"Situ Chunsheng, King of Jing'an, colluded with the barbarians to rebel and intended to rebel. Let him be punished! "

Situ Youde looked around,

"You put down your weapons and retreat! ”

All the guards looked at each other.

The second son brought his younger brother and a group of third-generation young men to the door to kill his biological father. This, What should they, the guards of the palace, do?

As a last resort, many guards got out of the way.

This scene, as Mr. Situ Chunsheng said before, belongs to the Situ family. Why should outsiders get involved in family matters?

Situ Youde stepped forward with his sword in hand and walked in front of his own father.

“You dare! "

"Poof! "

"Uh..." Situ Chunsheng.

Without too much nonsense, the sword edge has already penetrated the old man's body.

Situ Youde He pulled out the sword decisively.

Old man Situ Chunsheng knelt down holding his wound. His originally neat white beard was completely stained with blood.

"Beast. ...Beasts...The ones on the dragon throne are beasts...bringing out...a group of...a group of beasts..."

Situ Youcheng looked at him with some fear My second brother, my second brother, is a martial artist, and his martial arts training is not weak, but he, Situ Youcheng, has not practiced martial arts and is a civil servant.

"Dalang, Erlang. "

Situ Youde shouted.

The eldest grandson and the second grandson came over with knives and looked at their father.

"You... …You… evil sons… evil sons…”

Situ Youcheng couldn’t believe that his two sons,There will actually be a day when a knife is pointed at himself.

The faces of the two young men were trembling and their eyes were red.

Da Lang shouted:

"The Situ family and the barbarians are incompatible with each other!"< /p>

After saying that,

cut it down with a knife.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!"

The second son also closed his eyes and waved the knife at his father.

This is a human tragedy,

But no one present cried because there was no time to grieve.

The ancestor of the Situ family was once a fierce general under the command of the Marquis of Jin. He made many military exploits in the great cause of creating the Three Jins. Later, the family spread and spread to this day.

The Jin Dynasty has long been in decline, and the three families have long been powerful. The descendants of the Situ family here actually have the national surname.

The glory of our ancestors seems to have long since dissipated in the long river of history. It is no longer possible to maintain and recall the ancestors just by worshiping them every year in the Ancestral Temple.

Nowadays, the children of the Situ family, except for a few who can still serve as officials in the court, are basically wealthy and wealthy individuals.

In Yingdu City, those men walking birds and dogs almost all have the word "Situ" on their foreheads. Even if they are losing power, they can still rely on the influence of their ancestors and connections. To live a good life, even the worst of it, will not have to worry about food and clothing.

In Yingdu, when the disciples of the Situ family commit crimes, they are handled by the clan government, and the yamen have no right to interfere. Over the years, every generation of Situ prodigal sons has also committed the wretchedness of bullying men, women, and the market. It's not an exaggeration to say that Ying Du was in trouble.

And now,

these young masters dug out from their homes the ancestral armors that their ancestors had worn many years ago, and took off the ancestral armors that had been enshrined for a long time. But it was a family heirloom weapon that had not been wielded for many years.

If the elders of the family have other thoughts, they will be killed directly. Anyone who dares to stop them will be killed directly.

The teahouses in the streets and alleys of Yingdu still tell stories about how His Majesty was the leader of a group of bullies who wandered around Yingdu in his youth and committed mischief.

That was when Situ Lei wanted to taint himself and save himself.

After he joined the army from the south, he began his extraordinary life. After returning to Yingdu, the former Yingdu bully showed his true fangs, not only He sent his two brothers out and seized most of the political power at the same time.

This story has been circulated among the second generation of every family in Yingdu. Even when their elders scolded them for their absurdity, they would bring out the deeds of His Majesty in the past, twist their necks and retort :

"I am just a phoenix, so I am desecrating myself!"

The younger generation regards Situ Lei as their idol;

The middle-aged generation, among them, most Most of them had drank with Situ Lei and bullied men and women. The worst ones were those who had been waving flags and shouting from behind.

Later, with the rise of Situ Lei, and as they grew older, they became fathers, and some even became grandfathers.

The time spent wandering the streets with His Majesty, calling each other brothers, only came back after accidentally drinking a few too many drinks.

But now, after the man issued the edict, many people moved.

On the street, more and more people from the Situ clan began to appear, including even a gray-haired old man.

Some of the armors were ill-fitting and baggy, and some people could not lift the knives and could only drag them on the ground, holding back their blushing faces.

At this time, it would be a bit flattering to say that they are just a mob.

But there is an evil spirit lingering between everyone's brows.

Monsters like to pay attention to their bloodline inheritance. The more powerful the monsters are, the easier it is for them to retain some talents in their bloodline.

People are actually the same.

The inheritance of the ancestors was awakened after an unknown number of years.

In Yingdu City, thousands of Situ clan members came out of the east city gate. Their right arms were tied with white gauze. When they saw the chariot left by their ancestors, they looked at the Situ clan members of all generations. When the ancestors of the family were placed in tablets, everyone slowly knelt down.

A chilling atmosphere emanated from this group of people.

Situ Lei pushed away the eunuch who wanted to help him, and stood up tremblingly.

"I am ashamed of the country, my ancestors, and the people of Jin."

At first, Situ Lei's voice trembled slightly, but then, his His voice began to grow louder, and the flush on his face became more and more obvious.

At this time, he seemed not to be injured at all. He was still the young girl of the Situ family who had risen to prominence through military exploits.

“The ancestor of the Situ family was a vanguard general of the Marquis of Jin. He followed the Marquis of Jin into the land of the Three Jin Dynasties, drove out the barbarians, and opened up the frontiers for the Xia. With this achievement, the family has been glorious until now;

Only for this year’s founding of the country, the image of being lonely and alone!

The children of the Situ family must never forget where the family’s inheritance comes from. We, the people of Jin, must never forget that we are born now! Where did Si Changyu Si’s family come from!

The late emperor wants to rape the barbarians, I will kill them!”

A dignified emperor, in front of thousands of people, In front of the Situ family, in front of the entire army, he admitted the rumors that he had killed his father.

“Today, barbarians have entered the country, bullying my homeland, being rebellious and unscrupulous, and working as a stooge; the country is in ruins, and what will happen to our descendants of the Situ family at this time!!!”

Around the chariot, thousands of Situ disciples shouted in unison:

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

Situ Lei raised the flag in his hand,

his voice was really like thunder, floating in all directions:

"What should I do, the people of the Three Jin Dynasties!"

The adult soldiers all around smashed the wine bowls in their hands and smashed them into pieces.He threw the goods he had just received on the ground,

hit his armor with his sword,

shouted:

"Fight to the death!"< /p>

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

Situ Lei waved the flag forward with his right hand,

shouted :

"If we fight to the death, the disciples of the Situ family will die in front of thousands of people!

Beat the drum and march!"

………

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Today, an urgent message from Yingdu was delivered.

In the handsome tent,

the eldest prince read the military situation and put it on the table.

In front of him, two commander-in-chiefs, Li Bao and Li Fusheng, sat.

"Your Highness, something happened to Yingdu?"

Li Fusheng asked worriedly.

If the Situ family cannot even defend the capital, then the situation they will face will become extremely difficult in an instant.

The eldest prince shook his head, gritted his teeth, and said:

"Situ Lei personally marched, defeated the rebel savage coalition, and killed them for eighty miles."

"Hiss..."

"Ah..."

Li Bao touched his chin with one hand and sighed:

" This Situ Lei is quite capable.”

No one wants their teammates to be just pigs, and Cheng Guo and Situ’s previous impressions were really that of pig teammates.

Li Fusheng also nodded and said: "In this way, we can be more relaxed."

The eldest prince ordered:

"Li Bao Listen to the order!"

Li Bao immediately stood up and knelt down, "The general is here!"

"I order you to lead 30,000 cavalry and gallop outside Yingdu City. There must be no mistake!"

"The general takes orders!"

Li Fusheng immediately asked: "Your Highness, what does this mean?"

The situation has eased now. , it’s a good opportunity for everyone to slowly figure it out according to the established strategy.

The eldest prince replied:

"After the war, Emperor Taizu of the Cheng Kingdom died that night."
