Death Sutra

Zhong Heng feels that God is very unfair to himself. After giving him a little sweetness, he always rushes back before he can appreciate the real benefits.

When he was still in the Central Plains, his career was not smooth. He had been in the army for many years, and he had not spent a lot of money. He spent a lot of money and finally found a small official in the Ministry of Military Affairs. As a result, he was assigned to the Western Region in any month. In the year, after the return to the DPRK, there is another appointment, in fact, it is tantamount to matching.

In nominal terms, he was promoted. From the six products to the five products, but in the sinister world of Saitama City, the patrol city has no power, and the core task is to protect the personal safety of the city official. There is not much difference in the family.

At the end of the term of the Governor, the city official can get a huge amount of "peace", and he has not even had a chance to accept bribes.

Seeing the rich people in the North City and the countless enjoyment of Nancheng, it is extremely painful to have no money. It is like forcing a hungry window to watch the guests in the restaurant eat and drink.

It is in this torment that can not be squandered every moment, Zhong Hengsheng issued a vain attitude towards life: Zhongjun? He has not seen the land that the emperor stepped on; patriotism? The Central Plains is thousands of miles away, and all the interests that have been won in Saitama City will fall into the hands of the governor of the city, without regard to the country; ideal? The only hope of Zhong Heng is to be submerged by gold and silver, even if it is worth ten years.

Then the strange boy named Huannu appeared.

When I first met, the two had barely spoken. The veteran Zhong Heng immediately saw the speciality of the boy. There was a "slave" in the name of the slave, but there was still a sense of pride in the body.

In the Western Regions, it is common for the rich and the poor to change from the rich to the expensive. The prince and the princess have fallen into slavery. However, after the incompetent training of Jinpengbao, the identity of the minion has not yet been fully accepted. It is rare.

When Huannu accepts the prance of the city, "the discovery of the truth and the solution of the problem are two different things", when he succeeded in freeing himself and Xu's sister from the murder case, Zhong Heng felt that the boy was not simple, but he only thought about it. .

What Huannu did not know was that his behavior at that time gave great encouragement to the patrolling city. This is the first time that someone appreciates the insights of this five-person sergeant. Zhong Heng’s martial arts are general, and there is no literary talent. Proud of the sharp and accurate judgment, can be in the officialdom, this is not an advantage, but the shortcomings that people are afraid of, the boss never trusts him, always find an excuse to take him to the outermost periphery.

One party is a patrolman who still has nothing to do in middle age. One party is a boy who bears the burden of revenge and waits for revenge. The fate of the two has been entangled since then, and sometimes they are parallel and sometimes separated.

After many years, Huannu has become a dragon king. Zhong Heng has used his power to become a stone country. No matter how weak this country is, it is a major turning point in life.

God is still so unfair, not waiting for Zhong Heng to taste the true taste of the prime minister, Shi Guo was invaded, and most of the territory fell, leaving only the capital to barely support.

This time, Zhong Heng did not intend to give in. He did not know if there was such an opportunity in the future. Anyway, this time, he had to hold it tightly and he would not let go.

When the Dragon King left the Shiguo to rescue the Daxueshan army, he promised to return with a rescuer in two months. Zhong Heng’s judgment told him that even if the Dragon King returned on time, the small stone country was still not enough to be with the powerful enemy. Confrontation, so he immediately set out to make long-term plans.

At this time, the chaos of the stone country was incomprehensible with scattered sand. The original prime minister Yang Bao was deported. There were only a few hundred people left in the army. The people were panicked and uneasy. They were full of distrust of the new prime minister. The king was weak and sick, and his mind was simple. The only enthusiasm was daily. In the morning, the eunuchs received meticulous pilgrimage.

The only force available to Zhong Heng is the dozens of Daxueshan swordsmen led by Knifelin Hill, more than 200 staggered bandits and four or five hundred stone soldiers.

The Sixth National Army of Xiaoyaohai has arrived at the border, and there is not much time left for the new prime minister. Zhong Heng immediately proceeded to carry out several things at the same time:

Abandoning the national war, sending messengers to recall all the garrison troops in the border post to the capital, and reluctantly gathered more than 200 soldiers.

The people of Shiguo were required to move into the capital within three days. They only brought food and gold and silver to be soft and soft. They promised that after the end of the war, the land and houses would be returned to the original owner, and other losses would be compensated by the state treasury. In the end, this was a lot of hesitation. The people, everyone rushed into the capital.

Zhong Heng also took time to talk to the group of bandits, brothers and sisters, according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, and soon discovered the truth, these people who rushed - or fear - are not the dragon king, and the female guardian daughter around the dragon king, this fear is very Strong enough to support a certain degree of loyalty.

On the day of the Dragon King’s departure, Zhong Heng copied the old family’s property, but the number was not small, even beyond the national treasury of the stone. The money was not handed over, but was used to hire artisans to repair the walls and recruit young farmers into the city. Be a soldier.

The most urgent materials are food, no food, and no strong army can hold the city.

The war is sudden. The official grain reserve of Shiguo is very small. Zhongheng adopts both soft and hard means. On the one hand, it costs high prices to buy food from ordinary people. On the other hand, it forces the rich and nobles to surrender their own food. The country’s granaries are enriched.

This is one of the most important reasons why Shiguo can hold the capital. After only three months, the price of food has soared, and ten times the price has no way to let the people sell a grain of rice.

The gold and silver copied from Yang’s family was not enough. The clock was discussed twice with the king. After discovering that he could not convince the other party, he simply bypassed the incompetent king, took over the treasury and the Wang family treasure house, and then sent people to occupy Meng. In Shi’s business name and money house, he made another sum of money.

Even so, if you want to guard the capital with less than a thousand soldiers, it is impossible to complete the task. Zhong Heng makes all efforts, and finally depends on the wrong decision of the enemy to reluctantly keep the small country that has just arrived.

The number of coalition forces formed by the four countries of Haikang, Ang, Sha, and Hui is 2,000. The commander of the most powerful Kang State sent a general. The King Kang was left in the army and had not yet entered the country of Shi Guo, and was expelled. Yan Xiang Yang Bao ran to run.

It is these three people who have major differences in military strategy.

The general felt that the troops in his hand were too few to attack the capital. He hoped to invite the war at the border. The two sides played against the traditional model. At the same time, they gave the king of Shiguo preferential treatment and kept his throne, so as to urge the stone country to surrender as soon as possible.

Yang Bao is full of hate, Shi Guo does not belong to the royal family, but Yang's private property, now being taken away by people, he must be robbed back in spite of it, so **** into the river is also hesitating, he made all kinds of lure The promise of the people claimed that the Shiguo people had already lost their loyalty to the royal family. There were many supporters of Yang in the city. As long as the four-nation coalition forces made rapid progress and did not need to fight, someone would open the gate.

King Kang still remembers Princess Shi Guo. He did not want to transfer the stone country to the exile, Yang Duo, and the border between Shi and Kang, and more to seize the land, can force the stone country to change his mind and marry the princess. Can expand the power of Kang Guo.

The three men argued for many days, so the best time to lose the attack, the final conclusion is that the soldiers are divided into two ways, all the way to attack the city, all the way to seize the towns.

It turns out that this is a decision that can't be wrong again.

The first passerman marched to the place more than 30 miles away from the capital, and got the news that they were surprised. The Shiguo capital city not only did not open the gate to meet the army, but instead waited for it, and the strength of the defending city increased day by day. It has reached more than 1,000, and the attacking party Equally comparable.

Yang Bao was disappointed, so he wrote dozens of letters and called on the supporters of the Yang family to act, and then the archers shot into the city overnight.

As an answer, the next morning, the city threw more than a dozen heads, including younger brothers, and also recognized Yang supporters.

Yang Bao’s position in the coalition immediately fell to dispensable.

Another person who took up the land in the territory of Shiguo found that there were no empty people in the towns and towns. Only the houses and the heavy objects that could not be taken away were very angry when they could not find the treasures of gold and silver. So they set fire to the road. Everything that I met.

The news spread to the capital city and helped Zhong Heng to be a big help. The Shiguo people who took a wait-and-see attitude so far gave birth to the same enemy in the night, and no one dared to mention the proposal of surrender.

Because of their considerable strength, many people even hope to fight the city and defeat the invaders in one fell swoop.

Zhong Heng keeps awake, knowing that although the number of Shiwu team is increasing, the combat strength is not high, and it is not a big deal to win the battle. Once defeated, it will immediately suppress the enthusiasm of the defending city to the bottom of the valley. Not out.

After waiting for a month, the coalition forces joined forces and found that Shi Guo really did not surrender, only to launch a siege war.

A dozen beatings in the siege were more than half a year.

The news that the Dragon King and the Snowy Mountain were completely annihilated came, almost killing the stone country, but Zhong Heng did not believe it. He decided to make a desperate attempt. His firm miraculously touched many people. The entire Western Region only had this small piece. The people of the region are still convinced that the Dragon King is not dead. They are gathering more powerful forces and will come back to rescue the Stone State at all times.

During the period, the coalition forces had the intention to retreat, but Jinpengbao was in the Western Region, and the progress was faster than everyone expected. The four countries of the Yaohai Sea were the allies of the One-Step King. It soon fell into a vassal and finally became a servant. The nominal ** is in jeopardy.

Now, the coalition forces are no longer fighting for their own interests, but fighting for the one-step king. This makes the siege's morale lower and lower, but they dare not say anything.

The days in the city are also not good. The war lasted for too long, lack of clothing and use, and the daily distribution of food was only half-sufficient. The morale of the military and civilians also fell to the bottom, relying on the hard-line wrists of the prime minister. People dare to surrender.

A few months later, the new commander appointed by the One-Step King arrived, recruiting more soldiers from the four countries and launching large-scale attacks in succession.

The more difficult the defending city is, even the Zhong Heng, can not help but hesitate, I think the stone country has not been able to persist for a long time, and the Dragon King, not dead, will never return to the Western Regions.

At this time, the new commander of the four-nation coalition sent a letter to the unprecedented friendly attitude, praised the perseverance of Zhong Rongxiang and Shi Guofan, and then offered generous conditions, as long as the city gate surrendered, stone The country can still maintain its **, and the position of Zhongheng’s prime minister will also be greatly protected by Jinpengbao. The people can return to their old home without any punishment.

This is a rare condition for the king, the prime minister, and the people in the city. When the contents of this letter were unintentionally disclosed by the coalition messengers, the call for surrender suddenly rose, and the clock was pressured and forced to agree once. Formal negotiations.

At this time, the news that Long Wang led the army from Wushan into the Xiaoyao Sea was being strictly blocked by the coalition forces outside the city.
