The devil is coming

Chapter 298
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
The crack of the whip came,
Then,
It's 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 were memorial tablets of the successive heads of the Situ family invited from the Ancestral Temple.
In fact, Situ Lei had the Emperor's Sword and a set of Emperor's Chengyi, but it only took less than a year for the founding of the country. Not to mention the soldiers below, even Situ Lei himself felt that so-called The Emperor's Sword, the so-called dragon robe, and all the decorations are a burden.
Situ Lei remembered his father's favorite words when he was teaching 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.
After he became an adult, he guarded the south and defeated several offensive attacks by the Chu army. Later, he entered the court, which showed his ability.
Weaving wings, gathering talents, and subduing people's hearts, he was obviously not the legitimate son or the eldest son, but he was able to push his two brothers far away and let them go to the snowfield to eat snow.
His father's old age and his own growth allowed him to take control of most of the power of the Situ family a long time ago.
He is Xuanwu, the Xuanwu who guards 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 were talking about it, saying that he was using great justice to blackmail Emperor Yan, which was extremely clever.
But no emperor, no 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 the Yan Kingdom.
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.
Barbarians who had not entered the Pass for hundreds of years began to wreak havoc on the land of the Three Jin Dynasties. This was a shame. Whether you were a Jin person, a descendant of the Situ family, or a survivor of Daxia, it was a shame that went 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, etc.
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. They have not launched an attack on Yingdu. What are they waiting for? What are their two brothers waiting for and what are they thinking? , Situ Lei knew it in his heart.
The battle of the general trend is like this. 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 he was going to lose, and most people thought he couldn't win.
"I don't accept it!"
These three words came out of Situ Lei's mouth, and a slight blush appeared on his originally pale face.
He is the young daughter of the Situ family, and he upholds the pride of the Situ family. When his father became old and frail and began to fear the Yan people, he did not hesitate to borrow the Sword Master's sword and send his decayed father away.
He wanted to prove to the world that his decision was right, that he could take over his father's mantle and pass on the family's mission even 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, when your grandchildren ask you about today, how do you want to tell them what your ancestors did today?
I have issued a letter of credence to the State of Yan, and it is a foregone conclusion that the country will annex Yan. You don’t have to fight for me in this battle, but you have to show the people of Yan that not all men in the State of Jin are cowards. All 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, and its scale is actually much larger than Quhe and Litian City. The division of the three clans into Jin Dynasty has been formed for hundreds of years, and the role of the political center has also been dispersed for enough time.
Because of this, the imperial city of the Jin Kingdom in the capital city has become increasingly shabby and cramped over the 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 on his grand master's chair. A maid beside 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."
"Ha." Situ Chunsheng laughed disdainfully and said, "Our Majesty, you haven't given up yet."
Situ Youcheng said:
"It seems that it's not time to completely admit defeat, right?"
"I can't hold it on anymore, I can't hold it on any longer. The army of the uncle and the second master has already crossed Wangjiang River, and is only a few dozen miles away from our Yingdu.
This world has to change again. "
"Dad, did the uncle and the second uncle give you a letter?"
"I'm back. When the uncle and the second uncle come back, you will be the master of the book."
"That's it."
“Since the day our Majesty ascended the throne, I felt something was wrong.
Patricide, God has abandoned him. Look, it turns out that this great country, this great country, this ancestral foundation, was really almost lost to him.
Alas, the family is unlucky and has such unworthy descendants. "
"Yes, that's what dad said."
"Look, there are a lot of soldiers and horses gathered outside the city, and there are a few who are really determined to follow him all the way to the dark side. After all, this is a battle between our Situ family and ourselves. When it comes to fighting for positions, no one is really stupid and willing to risk their lives for this matter.
Especially those military generals who are most loyal to our Majesty, all of them were buried in the snowfields and few came back. Haha, this emperor deserves it, but it is really not interesting at all. He has not even sat down with his buttocks, so he has to make room for it. .
By the way, have you arranged the things that your father asked you to arrange properly? "
"How dare I neglect this? The Xicheng garrison was recommended by our family, and the patrol department is also the yamen where my son used to work. My son just went to get some news, and they understood it immediately. There will be no mistakes in the custody."
"Handing over a city gate will be enough to give an explanation to the uncle and the second master."
"I just don't know what the savages say."
"The savages are just a bunch of animals that have never seen the world. After they had eaten, drank, and toiled enough, they left by themselves. Do you know why they didn't rush 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.
When the eldest and second lords enter Yingdu and the eldest son ascends the throne, Dong Mian'er will appease the savages, and West Mian'er will bow his head to the Yan people, and life will go on like this.
After all, our surname is Situ. How could we be worse off in this day and age? "
"That's right. No matter how big Yanren's belly is, he can't eat so much in one go. It will break."
"Hey, that's the truth."
"boom!"
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.
"Presumptuous, who is it, who is it!"
Situ Chunsheng was so angry that the old man shouted.
Situ Youcheng also stood up. His eyes were better than his old man's. He saw that the leaders were actually his second brother, third brother and fourth brother, as well as a group of third generations, including his two sons.
"According to His Majesty's decree, 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, the king of Jing'an, colluded with the barbarians to rebel and intended to commit rebellion. Let him be punished!"
Situ Youde looked around,
"You guys 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. 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, this is a family matter of the Situ family, why should outsiders get involved?
Situ Youde stepped forward with his sword in hand and walked in front of his own father.
"You treasonous son, how dare you!"
"puff!"
"Uh..." Situ Chunsheng.
Without too much nonsense, the sword edge had already penetrated the old man's body.
Situ Youde drew out the sword decisively.
Mr. Situ Chunsheng knelt down holding his wound. His originally neat white beard was completely stained with blood.
"Beasts...beasts...the ones on the dragon throne...are the beasts...bringing out...a group...a ​​group of beasts..."
Situ Youcheng looked at his second brother with some fear. His second brother was a martial artist and had strong martial arts skills. However, Situ Youcheng did not practice martial arts and was 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 one day his two sons would point knives at him.
The faces of the two young men were trembling and their eyes were red.
Dalang opened his mouth and shouted:
"The Situ family and the barbarians are at odds with each other!"
After all,
Cut it down with a knife.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!!!"
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 creating the land of 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 in the Ancestral Temple every year.
Today, the children of the Situ family, except for a few who can still serve as officials in the court, are basically wealthy and wealthy.
In Yingdu City, those men who walk birds and dogs almost always have the word "Situ" on their foreheads. Even though they have lost power, they can still live their lives relying on the legacy of their ancestors and connections. In the end, The worst thing is that you don't 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 done bad things such as bullying men, dominating women, and dominating the market. It is said that Yingdu One harm is not an exaggeration.
And now,
These young masters dug out from their homes the ancestral armors that their ancestors had worn many years ago, and took down the family weapons that had been enshrined but 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 of Yingdu still tell stories about how His Majesty was the leader of a group of bullies who wandered around Yingdu when he was young.
That was when Situ Lei wanted to defile himself and save himself.
After he joined the army from the south, he began his illustrious life. After returning to Yingdu, the former Yingdu bully showed his true fangs, not only sending his two brothers out. , and at the same time seized most of the political power.
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 up the deeds of His Majesty in the past, twist their necks and retort:
"I am a phoenix and I have defiled myself!"
The younger generation regards Stuart as their idol;
As for the middle-aged generation, most of them had drank with Situ Lei and bullied men and women. The worst was to just wave the flag and shout 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 that 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 couldn't lift the knife and could only drag it 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 innate abilities in their bloodline.
People are actually the same.
The inheritance of the ancestors was awakened after who knows how many years.
In Yingdu City, thousands of Situ clan members came out of the east city gate, with white gauze tied on their right arms. When they saw the chariot left by their ancestors, and when they looked at the tablets of the ancestors of the Situ family, everyone They all knelt down slowly.
A chilling atmosphere emanated from this group of people.
Situ Lei pushed away the eunuch who was trying 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 was trembling slightly, but then, his voice began to become 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 lands of the Three Jin Dynasties, drove out the barbarians, and opened up frontiers for the Xia Dynasty. With this achievement, the family has achieved its glory today;
Only then can we have the founding of the country this year and be called a lonely man with few people!
The children of the Situ family must never forget where the family's inheritance comes from. We, the people of Jin, must never forget where the family where we are born and raised today come from!
The late emperor, if you want to indulge the barbarians, I will kill them! "
A dignified emperor admitted the rumors that he had killed his father in public, in front of thousands of Situ family members, and in front of the entire army.
"Today, barbarians have entered the country, bullying my homeland, being rebellious and unscrupulous, and working as a stooge. The country is in ruins. At this time, what will happen to us, the children of the Situ family!!!"
Beside 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,
The voice was really like thunder, floating in all directions:
"What should I, the people of Sanjin, do!"
The Chengguo sergeants all around smashed the wine bowls in their hands and threw the newly distributed belongings to the ground.
Hitting the armor on his body with his sword,
Shouting:
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
Situ Lei held the flag in his right hand and waved it forward.
Roared:
"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! "
.........
The Chinese army led by the eldest prince entered Chengguo first and did not advance quickly. Instead, they first contacted the local officials of Chengguo to ensure food and grass supplies.
Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Today, an urgent military message from Yingdu was delivered.
In handsome tent,
The eldest prince read the military information 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 couldn't even defend the capital, then the situation they would face would become extremely difficult in an instant.
The eldest prince shook his head, gritted his teeth, and said:
"Situ Lei went on a personal expedition and defeated the rebel savage coalition, killing 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 really pigs, and the impression given by Cheng Guo and Situ before was that they were really pig teammates.
Li Fusheng also nodded and said: "In this way, we can be more relaxed."
The eldest prince ordered:
"Li Bao obeys the order!"
When Li Bao heard this, he immediately stood up and knelt down, "The general is here!"
"I order you to lead [-] cavalry, gallop through the starry night, and station outside Yingdu City. There must be no mistake!"
"The last general takes orders!"
Li Fusheng immediately asked: "Your Highness, what does this mean?"
Now that the situation has eased, it is a good opportunity for everyone to start taking action according to the established strategy.
The eldest prince replied:
"After the war, Emperor Taizu of Chengguo died that night."
