…………

"ended."

"It has ended."

"It's in vain for me, Li Guang, to boast that I am invincible in the world. I didn't expect it, but I didn't expect it. Everything is such a fantasy."

Parachutist Li Guang raised his head and sighed.

This big man really failed him?
…………

Inventory of China's top ten tragic figures.

The person on the list - Nan Jiyun.

The dynasty it belonged to - Datang.

…………

As the saying goes, heroes come out of troubled times.

In every troubled time, there will be some people who are very admired by the world.

It can be said that there are good and bad in troubled times.

The turbulent times have caused ordinary people to be displaced.

Similarly, it was a troubled time again, and too many heroes had been accomplished.

The Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty is certainly not unfamiliar to people.

In this period of great turmoil and great change, which is rare in the world, there also appeared such a hero, that is Nan Jiyun.

Nan Jiyun was born as a commoner, poor and lower-middle peasant, with eight children in his family. Maybe it was because he couldn't help the family, or maybe he had greater ambitions since he was a child, so he went out to make a living at a young age.

If this routine is changed to future generations, he may first be a security guard, then serve dishes at a noodle restaurant with fried sauce, and then meet a fat man with a peach-shaped flat head, and then follow this fat man to learn cross talk, which is popular all over the country.

Nan Jiyun may also have such an opportunity, but the premise is if there is no Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty.

He was also a ranger in history.

It is said that he can shoot 72 shots, and his arrows can hit every shot—later, he shot Yin Ziqi blind in the left eye on the battlefield, which further confirmed his image.

But Liang Yusheng made a mistake. Shooting Yin Ziqi blind in the left eye was not a coincidence during the fierce battle. Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan planned to kill Yin Ziqi long before the battle, but it was a pity that Yin Ziqi escaped.

Presumably he was also a kind person in history, otherwise he would not have made people like He Lan Jinming fascinated by him.

It's just that he doesn't have a confidant like Tie Mole and Duan Guizhang by his side; nor does he have a beauty like Xia Lingshuang as his companion.

Jianghu is lonely.

Heroes are lonely too.

After several twists and turns, he chose to be a soldier.

Perhaps fate made a joke with him. Not long after he joined the army, An Lushan raised his army.

During this period, the official history described very little about his resume, only saying that he followed Zhang Xun all the way from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to AH, and then stationed in Suiyang; the places where he participated in the garrison before were all fortresses with small counties as units.

And Suiyang is a city.

We can't speculate about Nan Jiyun's psychological activities at that time because of the lack of data, but based on what happened later, we can only think that he who just came to Suiyang at that time must have thought: as long as Suiyang is here, half of the Tang Dynasty will be there.

What a wonderful wish.

As long as Suiyang is here, Datang will be there.

Suiyang serves as a barrier between Yangzhou and Jiankang.

The same is true of historical facts.

With Luoyang as the throat, the puppet Yan attacked as far south as Xiangyang, and invaded the imperial city Chang'an westward, and encountered the new emperor who set out from Lingwu in the imperial city.

On the Eastern Front, the puppet Yan's march almost stopped.

If the puppet Yan could occupy Suiyang one year in advance at that time, the south of the Yangtze River would be completely surnamed An, and it is even possible that in 750 AD, the whole world would be surnamed An.

Those with the surname Li may only include Tubo or Nanzhao.

At that time, whether it was Nan Jiyun, Zhang Xun, or Xu Yuan, they should all be very aware of the importance of Suiyang City.

But in less than two years, the Tang Dynasty was defeated like a mountain, and soon Suiyang was in a hurry.

Thus, Nan Jiyun stepped into the home of Henan Jiedu Envoy He Lan Jinming, the place he was destined to be.

Who is He Lan Jinming?

He is a great talent of the Xianbei nationality, good at ancient and elegant, good at poetry and music.

"There are [-] ancient poems, which are generally in line with Ruan Gong. There are also five "Difficult to Travel", and many of them are new."

According to folklore, he is personable and personable, and he is the one who can impress the noble and beautiful fox demon to marry him.

In response to the appointment of Yan Zhenqing, the prefect of Pingyuan County and the leader of the eighteen counties, he joined forces to attack Anlu Mountain.

Following Li Hengling Wu Xingyuan, he immediately transformed into a Henan Jiedu envoy.

Not long before Suiyang was besieged, He Lan Jinming was able to pry the corner of the prime minister Fang Guan's wall to make the emperor stay away from Fang Guan.

Then, according to the emperor's will, he replaced the prince and stationed in Linhuai.

He is a big official in the frontier, and he is in the limelight for a while.

And what about Nan Jiyun's boss, Zhang Xun?

At that time, it was just a county magistrate.

Some people said that He Lan Jinming was afraid of Zhang Xun and feared that his achievements would be higher than his own, but it was not entirely true.

What's more, Zhang Xun, a small county magistrate, is not in the eyes of Marshal He Lan.

You must know that Zhang Xun raised his army as the county magistrate of Zhenyuan County at the beginning of the Anshi Rebellion, which was similar in nature to the rebel army.

At that time, Zhang Xun's boss, Yang Wanshi, the prefect of Qiao County, took the lead in surrendering to Linghu Chao, and forced Zhang Xun to join him.

Nan Jiyun should be Zhang Xun's subordinate who joined at this time.

After that, Zhang Xun raised troops and instigated the resistance of the generals captured by the puppet Yan in Yongqiu City. Afterwards, he stationed in Yongqiu.

Later, in order to fight against Yang Chaozong, the strategy shifted to Ningling, and it was only then that he joined forces with Xu Yuan, the prefect of Suiyang.

So in "The Legend of the Ranger of the Tang Dynasty", Liang Yusheng made a mistake when he wrote that Nan Jiyun's long sword with rhino horn was given by Zhang Xun at the beginning.

What's more, Xu Shuji, Fang Guan's henchman, was stationed in Qiao County at that time, and he might pose a threat to Marshal He Lan himself at any time.

Don't say that He Lan Jinming is Xianbei, and if he is not a Han nationality, his heart must be different.

Zhang Xun asked Xu Shuji for help, but Xu Shuji ignored him.

He actually sent thousands of pieces of cloth to Nan Jiyun who came to ask for help, meaning that Nan Jiyun would sell it off, and then raise the army's salary and food by himself--Secretary Xu is a serious son of the Han family.

But An Qingxu didn't hit Jianghuai at this time, so he didn't pose much threat to himself.

In the original situation, I believe that many local officials will make up their minds, thinking that Datang may soon be the Eastern Han Dynasty.

At that time, the Anshi Rebellion was equivalent to the Dong Zhuo Rebellion back then, and the eighteen princes were about to come forward one after another, and the opportunity to make contributions and make great achievements for themselves was coming.

It was under such circumstances that Nan Jiyun and He Lan Jinming met.

Therefore, later Han Yu recounted it like this:
Nan Jiyun begged for help from He Lanye, who was jealous of Xun Xun and Yuan Zhi's prestige and achievements, and refused to send his teacher to rescue him.

Ai Jiyun is brave and strong, he doesn't listen to his words, but stays with him.

With food and music, Yan Jiyun sits.

Ji Yun generously said: "When Yun came, people in Suiyang would not eat for more than a month. Although Yun wanted to eat alone, he couldn't bear it. Although he ate, he didn't swallow it."

A finger was cut off because of pulling out the saber, and the blood was dripping to show Helan.

A big surprise, everyone wept for the cloud with gratitude.

Knowing that He Lan would never do anything to get out of the teacher's intention, he galloped away.

When he was about to leave the city, he drew an arrow and shot at the floating map of the Buddhist temple, aiming half of the arrow at the brick on it.Said: "I return to destroy the thief, and I will destroy Helan! This is the ambition of this arrow."

It can be exaggerated to imagine:
At the banquet of Marshal Helan, what kind of delicacies on jade plates, delicacies from mountains and seas, and gold bottles of fine wine;
He Lan Jinming, who loves elegant music, will find excellent musicians to play the shengxiao, and there may even be the gorgeous and romantic "Neon Clothes and Feather Clothes Song" that is popular all over the country among the music played.

The famous and wealthy country gentry and merchants in the entire Linhuai area were all invited to accompany them, and there might even be local stunning beauties to cuddle with.

And all of this is to keep Nan Jiyun.

But Nan Ba ​​was not tempted by all the gorgeous things, instead he became more and more angry.

Nan Ba ​​thought to himself, the people in Suiyang are starving to death!

And you?

But you are here to feast and feast, and indulge in luxury and luxury!
How unfair this is to the people!
He left a finger behind, probably as a confession to He Lan Jinming, but also as a resentment at his inability to save the world.

And the arrow shot on the pagoda was a sharp accusation.

Nanba's passion for serving the country cannot match the strife, scheming, and jealousy of the dignitaries.

Of course, this also made such a man, leaving a good story of "mighty and unyielding".

There is also a saying that Nan Jiyun bit off his thumb.

In the later generations, Mucun failed to borrow a gun in Hualinghui, and bit off his finger, did he refer to Nan Jiyun?

Thinking about it carefully, if He Lan Jinming agreed to Nan Jiyun's request and sent troops to assist Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan, maybe Nan Jiyun would not be famous in history, but would still be just a small military officer who had been a person in the rivers and lakes.

The one who left his reputation may be this Helan Jinming who can even marry a fox demon.

But Helan Jinming did not have such family and country feelings and historical awareness.

Because of He Lan Jinming's careful calculation of his own interests, some people in later generations made jokes to scold He Lan Jinming, saying that he has a peculiar hobby: he likes to eat dog poop.

Afterwards, Suiyang began to feed on horses and humans.

Suiyang had nothing at first.

The prince He Lan Jinming replaced, that is, Guo Wang Li Ju, insisted on distributing Suiyang's military rations to PY and Jiyin during the war, which greatly reduced Suiyang's grain reserves.

Looking at this period of history again, there is reason to suspect that Li Ju made money from it.

This man is talented but corrupt, and he was still in the old capital after the war. Li Juguan worshiped the prince and his teacher, and also served as an interview envoy for Henan Yin and Dongji. Responsible for traffic taxes around the capital, and control one party.

But buying and selling official positions, forming cliques for personal gain, and later because one of his concubines cheated on others, the concubine and lover were afraid that Li Ju would find out and blame him, so they reported to the court the fact that Li Ju was greedy for ink, so Li Ju was demoted. Later, Duan Zizhang rebelled, and he went to Meet Duan, who was killed for neglect.

At that time, the defenders did not drop supplies by air, and they could not and could not collect food from the people.

It is said that the price of rice in Suiyang City at that time was as high as 800 taels of silver per bucket, and each soldier in the army only had one spoonful of rice per day.

The food stocks were exhausted. At first, the officers and soldiers ate tea and rice paper to satisfy their hunger. Later, all the horses that could be eaten were killed, and they began to eat insects, sparrows and mice.

There was really no way, and later even boiled bark and leather armor to make a crossbow.

Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan couldn't think of a way to coerce the common people to deter the puppet Yan troops. If the common people went out of the city to face An Qingxu and Yin Ziqi, they would basically die.

It was under such circumstances that the tragedy of killing people and sharing food, and changing children to eat happened in Suiyang.

Later, when Suiyang City came to an end, the soldiers defending the city couldn't even draw their bowstrings, and they struggled to raise their weapons, but they still fought the enemy with all their strength.

I believe that killing his concubine and eating it is not what Zhang Xun wanted.

So: the city fell, and the thieves came down to patrol with the threat of a blade.If you are unyielding, you will take it away and kill it.Jiyun fell again.Cloud did not respond.

Xun Hu Yun said: "Nan Ba, a man with dead ears, don't be wronged by injustice!" Yun laughed and said: "If you want to be a leader, you will do something. The public has something to say, how dare Yun not die?"

That is unyielding.

Desire will be promising.

That is unyielding.

Yin Ziqi was shot blind in one eye by him, and he came to persuade Nan Jiyun to surrender.

Even if the other person was Yin Ziqi, at least Nan Jiyun would have to have eight fingers.

It is uncertain whether it is the villain Xiao Xiao like Yin Ziqi who also has a broad mind, or whether An Qingxu, Li Tingwang, and Yang Chaozong also need Nan Jiyun to enrich their wings. Perhaps it is a show for more people in the Tang army to buy people's hearts.

No matter what, Nan Jiyun died calmly after all.

Desire will be promising.

Yes, Nanba can do more.

Look at Li Huaixian, Li Baochen, Xue Song, and Tian Chengsi, who have played with the historians of the An family all their lives. The latter two are still from the family of court officials, and Xue Song is the grandson of Xue Rengui. He became a Jiedushi.

If this trajectory is followed, what will happen to Nan Jiyun?

Even if he can't be a vassal, he must be a generation of heroes.

Even if he doesn't want to play power and make business in this troubled world, he can still feign surrender to Yin Ziqi, and then serve as an undercover agent for Datang, or take the opportunity to separate Yin Ziqi and other forces of the puppet Yan, and he can also serve the country loyally.

But he didn't have any of these.

He didn't want to steal his life.

"You have spoken, do I dare to live alone?"

He smiled slightly.

Perhaps in the history of China, the person he really fell in love with was Zhang Xun.

He Lan Jinming looked down on Zhang Xun, but Nan Jiyun obeyed him.

Or maybe the phrase "If you want to do something, you will do something" is a joke before you die.

He was able to follow Zhang Xun through the long purgatory on earth in Suiyang, he should have put life and death aside long ago.

Afterwards: Zhang Hao heard that Suiyang was encircled urgently, and doubled the road to advance urgently. He called on the Jiedu of East Zhejiang, West Zhejiang, Huainan, Beihai, and Lu Qiuxiao, the prefect of Qiaojun, to rescue them...Bi Hao arrived, Suiyang City has fallen into three day.

Cong Zhou, you finally came, but you came too late...

Nan Jiyun has never been able to wait for the court's support.

In Japanese pirates, there are three tragic heroes: Yoshitsune Minamoto, Masanari Kusuki, and Yukimura Sanada.

Many people think that Nan Jiyun is very similar to Sanada Yukimura, they could have lived, but they chose to sacrifice;
But the difference is that the young master Genjiro in Osaka Castle is himself a "prisoner" designated as a war criminal by the shogunate. Apart from doing his best for Toyotomi, he has no other chance to come back.

As for the hero Nan Jiyun in Suiyang City, he had many chances in his life, not only allowing him to survive, but also allowing him to achieve success in official career, or to dominate the party with soldiers and horses, but he All gave up.

Therefore, Nan Jiyun's sacrifice was not comparable to any of the three.

It can only be said that Nanba is truly worthy of a tragic hero.
