Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 390 The Night Banquet
In the evening, the sky suddenly became overcast.There is no wind, but it is not as cold as in the daytime.The people in the city knew that it was going to snow again.Just look at the end of the new year, and the snow is falling one after another.

In the county government office, several fires were lit. More than 100 leaders of the Jin army, mixed with several important figures in the city, were full of voices.Jin Jun, who attended the banquet during the day, was reluctant to leave, and dawdled at the door.Hu Ci sent his own soldiers to drive these people away.

A stage was set up on the north side of the courtyard, on which various plays were performed.The drama at this time was simple, with only two or three characters, and they kept changing back and forth.Many of Jin Jun couldn't even understand Chinese, but they just watched the people above act ridiculously.After watching it for a day now, many people are annoyed.

Hu Ci said to Shen Zun who was beside him: "You Han people don't have serious dramas either. It's just two people who know what they're singing. Magistrate, is there something lively here? Go up and serve drinks for everyone."

Shen Zun nodded again and again: "Yes, yes. General, wait a moment, he will come up in a while."

At this moment, two people, a man and a woman, came up on the stage.The men dress up like emperors, and the women wear heavy makeup, so you can't tell what they look like, but they are just pretending to be beautiful women.Weeping there, I don't know what to sing.

Hu Ting was impatient, and said to Shen Zun, "What are these two bird men and women singing on stage!"

Shen Zundao: "Back to the general, they sang Maweipo. Anlu Mountain broke through Tongguan, Tang Minghuang fled south to Shu, and Yang Guifei had to be hanged in Maweipo. This play is very popular in Guanzhong. The general thinks it's coming. heard."

Hu Ci said: "I've heard this story before. It's just a man and a woman, crying there, what's the meaning?"

At this time, Guanzhong was dilapidated, and the people couldn't help but think of Anlu Mountain breaking Chang'an in Tang Dynasty. This play was sung everywhere with various titles.It was originally the Han people who complained helplessly against the reality, but how did Jin Bing understand this?
An Lushan's rebellion against the Tang Dynasty had a profound impact on the Tang Dynasty, and even had a great impact on Chinese history.The rise of troops in Anlu Mountain reflected the harm of local warlords, and directly affected the military system from the Five Dynasties to the Song Dynasty.Another one is that it reflects the deep ethnic conflicts in the north.Not only did the Tang Dynasty quickly change its policy towards aliens, but it also directly affected the Song Dynasty.

When Wang Xiaolie talked about the Anshi Rebellion in his previous life, some people would often say that it was a rebellion by local power factions and had nothing to do with ethnic conflicts.this is not right.Not only An Lushan and Shi Siming were aliens, but there were also a large number of aliens in their army, which directly caused a large number of alien generals to become powerful factions in the Hedong area of ​​Hebei, influencing later generations for hundreds of years.In fact, when the Anshi Rebellion occurred, the Tang Dynasty clearly realized that there were reasons for ethnic conflicts.

Listening to the singing on stage, thinking of the current reality, Shen Zun sighed in his heart.

After Ma Weipo sang, two gag artists came up, and the interest of the leader of the Jin Army was suddenly aroused.Eating meat and drinking wine while watching the stories on the stage, everyone was very excited.

It was getting more and more cloudy, not to mention the moon, not a single star in the sky could be seen.Shen Zun was anxious, so he got up with an excuse, and went to the top of the city to check his arrangement.The arrangement was made by the farmer in his own village, who guarded the city wall of one or two hundred steps.Everyone is very excited, gearing up there.Seeing Shen Zun approaching, they all saluted and were much more affectionate than usual.

Seeing that everything was in order, Shen Zun felt a little more relaxed.

Standing on the top of the city, looking at the dark night outside.Shen Zun said to Shen Ruchang: "You light the torch and shake it here three times."

Shen Ruchang lit the torch as ordered, held it high above his head, and shook it vigorously three times.

Asking Shen Ruchang to put away the torch, Shen Zun grabbed the parapet and looked out of the city with his head out.Not long after, a flame lit up not far away.The fire light was the same as in the city, and it slowly turned three times.

"Okay, okay!" Shen Zun let out a long breath. "You look after this place! When the time comes, I will naturally tell you what to do!"

Everyone obeys.Watching Shen Zun go down the city wall.

In the woods outside the city, Wei Yang said: "The county magistrate is careful, he insists on trying to see if we are here."

Cao Yu said: "This matter is related to his family and life, so he should be cautious. Seeing that the weather is going to snow, there will be no accidents."

Wei Yang nodded: "That's right. If it's snowing heavily, it's not easy for us to climb the city. God bless, it's better to open the city gate and then it snows, then it's all right. After destroying the 200 gold troops in the city, Jingzhao Mansion What's the use of [-] people left?"

Cao Yu said: "Break Lintong, Jingzhao Mansion will be in our hands!"

"Yeah, Lintong has been captured tonight, and we can enter Chang'an City tomorrow! We have fought with the Jin people for several years, and this dynasty has never recaptured such a large city! When the time comes, the world will definitely be shaken! People in the world, you should know We are in the Dengzhou Army!"

Cao Yu said yes, and he couldn't help being a little excited.

In fact, except for Hebei and Hedong, most of the Jin troops in other places broke through the city and looted and then left, and it was nothing to reoccupy it.It's just that Jingzhao Mansion's special status, coupled with Fuping's new defeat, can boost morale.Not to mention Jingzhao Mansion, the Song Army also occupied the two capitals.

What is different this time is that the Jin army did not retreat, but the Song army seized the opportunity to occupy Jingzhao Mansion.For Song Jun, it was naturally a rare victory.As for the Jinren, with this lesson learned, the rear forces dare not be too empty.

Wei Yang sent someone to check again whether the equipment brought by his men was complete, and then waited quietly outside the city.

Back at the county government office, sat down beside Hu Shui, Shen Zun said: "Is the general still satisfied? After a while, Yuniang will come up to sing a few songs, and everyone will have a few glasses of wine to their heart's content. That's all for tonight. I went to the city wall to see , everything is business as usual."

Hu Ci said: "Tonight, many of my subordinates come to listen to the little lady's singing. I heard that she once sang in Jingzhao Mansion, she has a great reputation! She is born with a good voice, I don't know how good it is! It seems that there will be heavy snow tonight, and tomorrow Song The army will not attack the city, and return home with all its heart!"

Shen Zun quickly said: "Yes, what the general said is true. Just drink as much as you want!"

After finishing speaking, he said again: "General, it's getting late, I helped my father go back to rest. He is too old to stay up late."

Hu Ci looked at Shen Chaofeng who was sitting not far away, he was already dozing there.He nodded and said: "You can help the old man back. Look at his mental state, how can he be like us! Bring some more wine!"

Shen Zun agreed.He ordered his servants to bring some more wine, and one of them turned to the back.

Seeing Yuniang fixing the pipa there, she stepped forward and said, "It's up to you to play next, be more alert! I will help my father back to the back office, he is too old to stay up all night. You just sing, and I will come and watch it later." you."

After hearing this, Yu Niang suddenly raised her head and looked at Shen Zun.His eyes were a little cold, and he didn't know what he was thinking, which made Shen Zun feel apprehensive.
