The night sky is decorated with starry light, and the cold sky light and the dim torches on the city wall gather together.

Under the city wall that had just experienced a great battle, the bloody city gate suddenly opened, and several war horses rushed out, galloping in the clear light of the stars and the moon. In the distance, it was the brightly lit camp of the Jurchens.

Several knights were galloping for a while, and occasionally a few bodies would pass under the horse's hooves that they forgot to restrain themselves, and then patrolling Jurchen cavalry and torches came over.

"See King Liang..." The patrol leader recognized the appearance of the leader on the opposite side and bowed on the horse's back.

Wanyan Zongbi nodded in response and looked at the camp with a arrogant look, "Notify the camp gate in front to open it, I want to see my second brother."

"The Fourth Prince...I'm sorry, it's the time of war, and the general ordered no one to see..."

Smack

A black shadow blew over the light of the torch, and a blood mark suddenly appeared on the face of the cavalry leader. Wanyan Zongbing squeezed the horse whip in his hand and waved it in the air.

"Get out of here... I'll go by myself!" After saying that, he grabbed the horse's belly and led three guards to the direction of the camp gate.

The Wanyan family has more than ten brothers. As older brothers or younger brothers, Wanyan Zongbing was obviously qualified. From the Jurchens to attack Liao and Wu, he followed the army to fight. After his father passed away, the two brothers in front of him had to stay in Beijing for presidency of state affairs because of their identities, so he returned to Tianhui to take good care of the other brothers and sisters.

However, when he received the news from his elder brother Zonggan, his heart became heavy. When he was young, both brothers taught him well. As he grew older, his experience became wider. Apart from Wanyan Zonghan, he was the second person with both civil and military skills, so he felt very serious about his two brothers.

At this time, he rushed to the scene for four or five days in a row, hoping that both sides could truce and return to the past.

When they arrived at the gate of the military camp, the guards on the mail tower saw the token and asked someone to open the gate and let them go. After entering the gate, Wanyan Zongbi flipped off his horse and went to the commander's tent.

Beside the bonfire lit near the surrounding camp tents, there were soldiers who were burning fire to keep warm. The wounded looked here. When the patrolling Jurchen soldiers walked here, they blocked Wanyan Zongbi's guards. "Please don't let the low-ranking position be difficult. The rules in the army have always been like this."

On this side, Wanyan Zongbi treated most of these soldiers indifferently, but since the other party put the rules in front of him, he was not inconvenient to say more.

"You guys are waiting for me here."

In this way, the guards behind him strode into the commander's tent.

The curtain was raised, and several familiar generals in their sight were surrounding their second brother and making tactical arrangements against a map of the city.

Seeing someone coming in at the tent, the generals all looked over. The general wearing fox fur shawls and golden armor put down his hands pressed on the Shangjing map, raised his chin to the left and right generals, "Just do it like this, go down and rest."

Wanyan Zongbing stood there, and several generals who came out from beside him whispered to him, then quickly lifted the curtain and left. In the tent, Wanyan Zongbing suddenly walked back to the coach's throne with a smile, "Wu Shu is here."

There was no response there, and the two looked at each other speechlessly.

After a while, Wanyan Zongbi spoke first and walked over.

"Second brother...must I do this? Everyone is a real brother. My father just left... What else can't be resolved between us brothers?"

Wanyan Zongwang took off the sword on his waist and threw it on the table, staring at the other party, "...We have all grown up... Some things cannot be resolved like when we were young, Wushu, you can't understand the things in between."

"How can I understand it? Isn't it just that an assassin broke into the palace? I don't believe it was you. When I entered the city, I read the transcript of the palace guards. It was obviously a remnant of the Liao Kingdom!!"

In the candlelight on the desk, Wanyan Zongbing waved excitedly, put it down, and pressed it on the table, "...I don't know why my brother said this in the letter, I believe you."

"We finally got to defeat the Liao Kingdom, and don't fight each other again." The orange light shook on his gritted teeth, and there were traces of water in the man's eyes.

In the big tent, the two brothers stood on both sides of the desk, and the fire was like a wall in the middle. Wanyan Zongwang looked at his younger brother who looked young and couldn't help but sigh.

...

On the city tower, Wanyan Zonggan's figure stood there looking at the military camp in the distance.

The finger gently touched a blood stain that had not yet dried out on the wall, and then twisted it between the fingers, and the corner of his mouth curled up, "...You said, what is my brother doing now."

On the other side of the wall, seven or eight steps away, the person who was asked had a thin face, his face was like a thunderbolt, his beard, and he clasped his fists at Zong Gan, his voice was thunderous, like a lion roar: "… I don't know what to do, but King Liang had entered the military camp at this time... The news will come soon... I really can't guess..."

"You dare not guess!" Wanyan Zonggan walked along the city wall with his hands on his back, "...I guess he would not agree. With Han Li Bubu's personality, the arrow was on the string."

The originally vicious face of the general who was accompanying him turned his eyebrows down and his eyes were followed. He hesitated for a moment, nodded and said yes.

"...Tomorrow, if Zong Wang attacks again, you can go up." The walking figure turned slightly, and his long beard raised in the wind. "I also want to see how powerful our Jin Dynasty masters are, which is comparable to Yelu Hongyu, who was once the number one in Liao Dynasty."

He said this with a smile, and the smile on his face was quite strange. The burly figure behind him raised his rough and ferocious face, his cheeks trembled in a circle under his chin, and he clasped his fists: "The mountain lion camel will definitely not disappoint the king."

Zong Gan's smile had not yet subsided, and nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly chewed in his mouth: "Master Zhanhan's team has come up, and it's time for us to welcome him."

The mountain lion camel's expression was stunned for a moment, obviously not understanding what he said.

...

"Wu Shu, this matter is different from the past."

The wind blew on the tent, the curtains rolled up with the wind, and the candles were swaying among the two, and the figures were shaking.

Wanyan Zongwang was silent for a moment, leaned back on the chair, looking at the shaking Huo Xin, "This matter is already on the string. Even if I didn't raise an army before, my elder brother wouldn't let me go."

"How can I see it?"

"….. Zong Gan chose to block the news that His Majesty was assassinated and even I, a brother, were hidden from me. What do you think he was going to do?" Zong Wang stood up straight and stood up, "He doesn't trust me.... When His Majesty dies, only I can compete with him for the throne, and he is worried."

Wanyan Zongbi was stunned for a moment and clenched his fists, "Second brother, have you ever thought about the throne?"

Looking at the person opposite the desk, Zong Bi felt hope in his heart. However, the man just sneered, picked up the sword on the desk and suddenly smashed it on the desk.

可

With a crisp sound, the whole case broke from the middle, and Wanyan Zongwang's voice suddenly rose: "...This is not a problem with the throne, but he has long wanted to kill my younger brother."

The figure crossed back and forth in the tent.

"If I didn't raise my troops and broke up with him, I wouldn't know how I died in the future. The Oben would have been the Oben with us. After reading too many books from the Wu Dynasty scholars and learning some imperial skills, my heart would have changed long ago!"

The Oben mentioned is the name of the Jurchen name of Wanyan Zonggan.

"..." Wanyan Zongbing looked at his brother silently, frowning very heavily.

The wind was very strong outside, and he rolled up the curtain and ran in. The candlelight in the tent swayed between the light and darkness. He vaguely saw tears flowing down Zong Wang's face in the dim light.

Maybe it's too much wind.

After a while, Wanyan Zongbi bowed heavily and said the last sentence of tonight.

"When I came, I heard that the emperor was already on the way. He came from Datong. A terrible plague occurred there. In the city, many people died in the inner city for more than ten days, and many people became neither human nor ghost. I came here just because of this incident, Dajin was in a dilemma."

The voice is over.

Zong Wang looked at the left back, and his expressionless face was sunk in the fire. Whether it was to continue fighting or to make a deal, the matter behind began to become troublesome.

************************************

Datong is southwest, close to Yanmen Pass.

The vast crowd escaped from the dead city with their families. In the days that followed, tens of thousands of tall people had died of epidemics, or the hands of others, sick and alive, all of whom were full of sad faces. Children, elderly people, and women who lost their homes were crying day and night in the walking team, moving towards Wuchao.

On Yanmen Pass, you can vaguely hear such a sound coming from a distant place, scattered, and some people coming from the north approach the pass gate.

Then, a feather arrow shot down and the body twitched and fell to the ground.

Such things have not happened once or twice. In more than ten days, hundreds of people near Datong who came to join the pass, but without exception, they were all shot to death in front of the pass or driven away.

Huang Xin was haggard and ferociously walking with the Dongchang Baihu on the city wall section. The strong bloody smell in the air was dissipating. The Dongchang Baihu pointed to the residue left behind by burying or burning outside.

"General Huang... We know that you feel uncomfortable, but they are carrying plagues. You don't know the news that the spies had turned around earlier. Then Datong is now a purgatory on earth. If these people are let go, wouldn't our Wu Dynasty suffer together?"

The eunuch looked at the remains of the city and sighed and spoke. In his sight, a carriage came to the pass, with the sounds of women and children inside. Seeing the clothes of the carriage, it should be relatively wealthy.

The eunuch walked over and took a can of tincture oil piled under the battlements in his hand. A soldier beside him lit the rocket and lit a wisp of black smoke.

"There is a child inside," Huang Xin shouted and rushed over.

In his sight, the oil tank was thrown into the air. Huang Xin stood there in a daze and shouted: "Wang Baihu!! Wang Zhi!! You bastard!!!"

In my ears, there was a crisp sound from under the city wall, and the movement of the clay pot shattering, and the archer shot the rocket in his hand down.

boom

The fire rolled up suddenly, and as the black smoke rushed into the sky, a heart-wrenching scream came from the thick flames below.

The firelight reflected Wang Zhi's face red. He stared at the figure rolling wildly in the fire, and said with a split mouth: "Cruel to them... is the mercy to the people of Wuchao."

"Ahhhhh"

Huang Xin covered his ears, knocked his forehead against the floor tiles, and pressed hard against the screams in the flames and the words without emotion in the eunuch's mouth were like the sound from hell.

He was almost unable to stand this torment.
