The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

A month in Chang'an, thousands of households slapped their clothes.

The autumn breeze never blows, always Yuguan sentiment.

He Riping and Hulu, his beloved stopped the expedition.

——"Midnight Wu Song Autumn Song" Li Bai

……

Tang Jun and Liu Zhanjun broke down in Jiangzhou and held a stalemate for three days.

Zhang Ziming's first impression on Xu Yi was that he was a nerd.Opening his mouth is the sour smell of poor Confucian scholars, full of inappropriateness.Every time you eat a fennel bean, you have to use tea to write five different characters for fennel on the table.

This kind of poor scholar is easy to deal with.

Xu Yi chatted with Zhang Ziming patiently.First, it was a family routine, and then he criticized Li Longji for being fatuous and immoral, and reused treacherous ministers Yang Guozhong and An Lushan, which led to the chaos, the loss of life, and the disaster of the people.

Then, it was extended to the rumors spread in the Jianghuai River, "holding a golden knife and rising to the east, proving that Liu Zhan is the real dragon emperor selected by heaven.

"Veterans don't die!"

Liu Zhan didn't understand this truth, just like An Lushan, the powerful official in the frontier, never understood the integrity of Yan Zhenqing and Zhang Xun, the small officials of the Tang Dynasty.

……

Liu Zhan was still angry. In order to vent his anger, he beheaded Zhang Ziming in front of the two armies, and executed all the prisoners of the Tang army to death.

"Shuzhen Qingqing Ruhe: I will say goodbye to you forever with this book! When I wrote this book, I was still a person in the world; when you read this book, I have become a ghost in the underworld.

……

Once the defenders in the city mistakenly believe that the Tang army's navy has been defeated and there is no more reinforcements, under the premise of insufficient food and grass, the army's morale will be shaken and they will surrender without a fight.

Bai Fu released Liu Zhanjun's captives, healed all the wounded, and ordered to pay homage to the soldiers of both sides who died in battle.

As the saying goes, surrender without fighting.Xu Yi was very satisfied with his clever plan.

Xu Yi asked Zhang Ziming to follow his own plan and shout to the defenders to persuade the Tang army to surrender.

Among the people and herdsmen in the world today, there is no one who is not addicted to killing people.If there is someone who is not addicted to killing, all the people in the world will lead and look forward to it.

……

After a long time, Bai Fu stood up, walked in front of the soldiers of the three armies, drew out the Yitian long sword, pointed at the sky, and shouted loudly: "The noble spirit will last forever, and the old soldiers will never die!"

This invisible fight is a battle between human nature and animal nature.

Bai Fu walked to the coffins of Zhang Ziming and the dead soldiers, knelt down on one knee, touched his chest with his right fist, and extended the most respectful military salute.

"Zi Ming!"

Liu Zhan's army began to show signs of disintegration.The most serious incident of defection within Liu Zhanjun was the surrender of two generals of the rebel army, Li Kefeng and Sun Daifeng, which exposed the precursors of Liu Zhanzhong's rebellion.

Xu Yi took Zhang Ziming and escorted nearly a hundred Tang army prisoners captured in the Battle of Chishui Lake to Jiangning City.

In the end, Xu Yi expressed his true thoughts: Cooperate with me and lure Jiangning to surrender. Not only will you live, but you will also be a high-ranking official, rich and prosperous;
Xu Yi patted Zhang Ziming on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Ziming, I think you are also a person who has read a lot of poetry and books, why did you serve as a small marching commander in the Tang army, you are too talented!
If you surrender to the general, I guarantee that you will be promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Officials, honoring your ancestors. "

As soon as this remark came out, there were thunderous cheers in the city, and an uproar in the city.

When I wrote this book, tears and pen and ink flowed down together. I couldn't finish the book and wanted to stop writing, and I was afraid that you would not understand my heart, saying that I would bear to die by abandoning you, saying that I didn't know that you didn't want me to die, so I endured sorrow for you. In other words.

Zhang Ziming tilted his head, fell down slowly, and died generously.

Liu Zhan surrounded Jiangning with his huge fleet, intercepted the Tang army's navy dozens of miles away, cut off internal and external connections, and blocked news.

Zhang Ziming was hit by several arrows, but he still stood still.He covered his chest and looked at Liu Zhan with mocking eyes, blood gushing from the corner of his mouth.

The scholar handed a white square scarf to Bai Fu, and sighed, "We found this square scarf when we checked Zhang Ziming's belongings. This is the last letter Ziming wrote home to his wife.

……

For the first time, Liu Zhan had doubts about his behavior.

Zhang Ziming gave a deep salute to Wen Chao on the tower, and shouted loudly: "General Wen, in the battle of Chishui Lake, our navy defeated the rebel navy and killed them all.

His fellow countrymen told me that Ziming did not join the army alone. His family is still in the old house in his hometown, and his father is kind and his son is filial.Ziming and his wife have a deep relationship, and they play harmoniously..."

Facing all the generals in Anxi who have fought many battles on the battlefield, the weak Zhang Ziming talked eloquently: "Meng Fuzi said: Those who are not addicted to killing can be one of them!
There is no one in the world who does not agree with it.

"These murderous guys would actually admire this frail scholar?

Bai Fu gently lifted the square scarf, seeing the words on the face, Zhang Ziming's thin and handsome smile appeared vividly on the paper:

Sun Daifeng surrendered to Li Zangyong, deputy envoy of Jianghuai Jiedu of the Tang Army in Wucheng, Huzhou;
Li Kefeng sacrificed Changzhou and surrendered to the Tang army;
Yang Chibi sacrificed Suzhou and surrendered to the Tang army.Li Huang sacrificed Sizhou to surrender to the Tang army; Zong Xi sacrificed Xuanzhou to surrender to the Tang army...

The Tang army and the rebel navy broke down and faced off for three days on the Yangtze River outside Jiangning City.The fighting of the swordsmen was suspended, and another confrontation followed.

……

What made Liu Zhan even more uneasy was that all the generals around him stood with hands down, silently facing Zhang Ziming's body.From the eyes of the generals, Liu Zhan saw admiration for this powerless scholar.

Just like Bai Fu predicted before, when Liu Zhan tried to use violence to change his fate, his fate was already doomed.

Under the coercion and temptation, Zhang Ziming finally wavered. He raised his head and asked, "Master Xu, what do you want me to do?"

This is exactly Zhang Ziming's strategy that day, to confront tyranny with benevolence and righteousness, and to confront darkness with light:

Unlike Liu Zhan's anger killing, Tang Jun did the opposite.

Zhang Ziming was at the prime of his life, chattering in front of the scarf, and loving his sons and daughters.The affectionate confession made the hearts and souls of the soldiers of the three armies feel compassion and agitation.

Zhang Ziming nodded in agreement.

Wen Chao on the tower let out a roar, seeing Zhang Ziming's heroic sacrifice, his eyes cracked.He punched the bricks of the city wall, and the sharp corners of the bricks pierced his fist.Wen Chao's fist was bleeding, and he didn't realize it.

Xu Yi was dumbfounded. He didn't expect Zhang Ziming, a weak scholar, to have the guts to play with himself.

A short letter to his wife made Bai Fu burst into tears several times.

The most powerful force in this world is not the country, but the hearts of the people.

The guard general of Jiangning is Wen Chao, the general of Li Zangyong, the deputy envoy of Jianghuai Jiedu.Wen Chao recognized Zhang Ziming, and said angrily, "Ziming, it's in vain for me to respect you and treat you like a brother, yet you surrender to the rebels!"

When the head was sent to Liu Zhan, Zhang Ziming did not rest in peace, still with a mocking look in his eyes.People can't open their mouths when they die, but they are better than a thousand words.

"The noble spirit lasts forever, and the veterans never die!"

Xu Yi nodded in satisfaction, and said, "You just need to tell the defenders in Jiangning that the Tang army's navy was defeated at Chishui Lake, and Bai Fu was killed. That's it..."

Why is this insignificant scholar, who is young but not hesitating, knowing that he is going to die, but still coming? "

I love you most, that is, the thought of loving you makes me brave enough to die.Ever since I met you, I have always wished all lovers in the world to be married; however, the place is full of fishy clouds, and the streets are full of wolf dogs. How many families can do what you want?I can't learn from Taishang's forgetfulness..."

Furious, Liu Zhan picked up the crossbow beside the saddle bridge and shot Zhang Ziming to death.

The army led by General Bai Fu is just tens of miles away, please persevere! "

"Ruthless is not necessarily a hero."

I usually don't believe in ghosts, but now I hope they really do exist.Today, people say that there is a way of telepathy, and I also hope that what they say is true, so my spirit will still be with you when I die, so you don’t have to feel sorry for yourself..."

Only then did Liu Zhan realize that this frail scholar was not afraid of death from the very beginning, and from the moment he stepped into his tent, he never wanted to get out alive.

There are many things in this world that cannot be solved with violence and authority, no matter how high you are, no matter how you whitewash and beautify yourself.Wise or stupid, fair and comfortable.

Seeing Zhang Ziming coming to the city alone, the guarding Tang army put down his guard and poked his head out.

On the school grounds outside Jiangning City, goose feathers and snow fell profusely and overwhelmingly, turning the world into a vast expanse of pure land.In the Jianghuai area, it is rare to see such heavy snowfall.

"When will the barbarians be defeated, my beloved will go on an expedition."

Now, as long as Zhang Ziming and himself perform an oboe together, they will be able to confuse the real with the fake.

In the heavy snowfall, the soldiers of the Three Armies of the Tang Dynasty lined up to bid farewell with neat appearances and solemn expressions.

Jiangning's grain and grass had been requisitioned by Liu Zhan.Xu Yi reckoned that there shouldn't be much food in the city, so it wouldn't take too long.

It is true that when the people return to it, they will go down from the water. Who can resist it? "

Not only did Liu Zhan fail to shake the morale of the soldiers of the Tang army, but strengthened their confidence to stick to the city.

The vegetation is sad, and the situation changes color.

……

The shouts of the soldiers of the three armed forces echoed in the school grounds, thick and solemn, and lasted for a long time.

"boom boom"

On the river near the school grounds, the cannons of the Tang Army's navy fired in unison, 21 shots, and the sound of thunderbolts moved the sky...
