Spring and Autumn I Am King

On the third night after the decisive battle, in the dark of May, after repelling another attack from the enemy, Fan Jishe carried his long sword and dragged his tired body from the city wall back to the high platform of the inner city. ww.しws520.om

The high platform was built by Fan Jishe on the basis of the ancient palace of the Republic. When the moon and stars are scarce, you can see the whole city from here, and even the situation outside the city.

But you don't need to look to know that the three towers of the city have been besieged by Zhao Jun outside, and only the north gate is left. Some retainers proposed to break out of the encirclement, but Fan Jishe knew that this was a common strategy for encirclement, and once he went out, he was bound to face the attack of Zhao's ambush.

Fan Jishe knew very well that he couldn't make a comeback. After he was defeated by Zhao's father and son at Qinshui, he returned to Gongcheng and gathered thousands of people, plus the 5,000 people sent by Chaoge. An army of 10,000 people, but Fan soldiers who followed him into the city after the decisive battle were not one in ten.

In the decisive battle three days ago, despite the help of the strong wind, he and Zhong Xingyin were still completely defeated, leaving all their soldiers on the field more than 20 miles away between Fan and Gong, and even the large camp outside the city was also reinforced by the Zhao clan who suddenly arrived. Burnt to white.

He entered the city in response to Wang Sheng's death, and Yinze of the Bank of China hurriedly took some people to the east. I don't know if it was a blessing in disguise, and he didn't need to be trapped in the lonely city. Fan Jishe could only wish the old in-laws good luck and escape the pursuit of Zhao's light cavalry.

In the past few days, Zhao soldiers have been attacking the city continuously, and they have exhausted all means. Although the Gongcheng is larger and stronger than Fancheng, it has a moat and an outer wall, but it is still only rammed earth, and it is crumbling under the attack. Add in those weird siege ladders of the enemy, and no one knows when they will fall.

But Fan Jishe repeatedly refused to break through, he said: "I have let the common people lose their children, how can I abandon them now? Besides, I would rather die in the city than die in the city. I would like to send myself outside to be captured and be humiliated by Zhao’s father and son!”

Returning to the high platform, the military commander of Jin State was out of breath, and he waved his hand. Let the others do it all.

After the guards and the vertical people had all retreated, only the retainer Gongsun Shi was slow to retreat, staring at the long sword drawn from Fan Jishe's hand, hesitating to say anything.

Fan Jishe knew what the retainer was thinking. He smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, I won't kill myself. It's not even the last minute, and the ants are still alive. I also want to live a little longer..."

"My lord, this minister has no other intentions..." Gongsun Shu lowered his head, it was something he never imagined that Fan would be defeated so badly.

"I just want to be alone. Since the big defeat three days ago, those old things have been pouring into my mind."

Fan Jishe Wei Ran sighed: "This is the so-called sign of a person's dying, you can stay, I will tell you about those things..."

...

The Fan family is ancient and illustrious, with profound cultural heritage. Generations of capable people have come forth, especially after the accumulation of two generations of Fan Yu and Fan Yang, this family is even more powerful and prosperous. Needless to say, the new generation of Fan's also naturally has talented people with outstanding intellect.

"My father Xianzhu gave birth to three sons, namely, the eldest son Fan Wei, the second son Fan Gaoyi, and the son-in-law. I, Fan Ji, shot..."

Speaking of which, although he is now with the Zhao family because of Le Qi's death, the enmity between the two sons is like water and fire. There is no way to resolve it, there is only one ending that you die and I die, but recalling when I was young, it was not like this.

Fan Jishe said to Gongsun Ji: "You may not have expected it. At that time, the three of my brothers and Zhao Yang, who had just been promoted to the clergyman, had a really good relationship."

Gongsun Yu was stunned, this was indeed what he did not expect.

"One day, my three brothers were invited by Zhao Meng to go to the lower palace together for a banquet. While hunting and playing on the cotton, Zhao Meng was worried about a trivial matter: he likes to ride a horse and drive in the confines of his home, but the garden is lush with trees. It's very inconvenient to drive. Seeing me coming, I asked 'Nai He?' and asked me to give him an idea."

"My eldest brother Fan Wei doesn't understand the style. He said that riding a horse in the garden is a boring thing. If you don't ask, you won't do it. If you don't ask, you will do it. How to choose, you really think... Reason, actually said nothing."

"My second brother, Gao Yi, replied: If you want the carriage and horses to travel smoothly in the garden, the laboring people must come to cut the trees. If you love horses, you will not love people's strength. If you love people's strength, you will not love horses. One can... Although there are suggestions, but there will be disadvantages, and he is also a stupid person."

Gongsun Yu dared to ask: "How did the lord answer at that time?"

"I?"

Fan Jishe smiled. He remembered that at that time he was as young as the tender grass in spring, but he had high self-esteem. He glanced at the two brothers with contempt and said, "The suggestions of the two brothers are all wrong. I have a plan, which can not only solve the general's problems. Problems, but also let the people under the rule enjoy three times of kindness without complaint!"

"What I said at that time, my memory is a little vague. It was nothing more than using the name of the open garden to trick the people into cutting trees, and selling the felled trees to the people at a low price, so as to get the people's three joys without complaining."

"Zhao Yang was overjoyed and immediately acted according to his plan. Sure enough, not only the problem was solved, but the people near the lower palace were also very satisfied."

Gongsun said: "Your lord is wise, as it should be."

Fan Jishe laughed and said, "Smart? No, my mother, Xian Ji, doesn't see it that way."

He continued: "I was also very proud of my clever trick, so I went back and told my mother, but she sighed and she predicted, 'The one who destroys the Fan clan will be lucky. De, if a person who cheats like this inherits the family business, will Fan Shi'an be able to last for a long time'?"

"This..." Gongsun Yu was speechless.

"It's harsh, isn't it? It's really harsh. More than 20 years have passed, and every time I think about it, I feel full of righteous indignation. Why does my mother say that to me!"

Fan Jishe laughed at himself and said: "Until today, I was surprised to find that my mother was right. After my father died, I was in charge of the Fan family for only four years, and I brought along the once-prominent, tens of thousands of powerful officials with halberds. , came to the brink of extinction..."

Outside, the cries of Zhao soldiers sieging the city have not yet subsided, but there was silence on the high platform for a while.

"All these things have passed, now Zhao Yang and I have become enemies of life and death, wishing we could eat each other's meat, and my two brothers, Brother Meng, were trapped in the camp, captured by the Zhao family, and forced to come yesterday. After persuading him to surrender, I sent a shower of arrows to frighten him back, hoping he can save his life."

"As for the second brother, Gao Yi, because of the issue of raising an heir, he turned against me and became enemies with me. Now he has taken refuge with the new ruling Zhibo, and has become a doctor in the capital. He is named Fan's Xiaozong.

Thinking of Fan Gaoyi, who split the Fan clan and caused a large area to the west of Taihang to disobey orders, Fan Jishe was full of anger, he stood up from the rest table, gritted his teeth and said, "If I die in this common city, Meng Brother can't help himself, so Fan Gaoyi's family temple and territory will probably only be inherited by Fan Gaoyi, but he has been cheapened for nothing..."

Just at this moment, an earth-shattering whistling sound suddenly sounded from the east gate, filled with joy or despair, these sounds penetrated a mile and reached the high platform!

Fan Jishe was shocked. He took Gongsun Su to the outside, but saw the wall of the city gate on the east side of the wall. A fire dragon broke through the city gate and rushed from the outer country to the inner city!

Of course, this could not be reinforcements. Fan Jishe knew very well that unless the Zhi clan, who had always been carrying a conspiracy, brazenly intervened, Fan clan and Zhong Xing clan would have no troops to call for the time being.

"What's the matter!" Fan Jishe was shocked, he pulled someone else and asked, and it wasn't until half a minute later that the person who rushed from there in a hurry told him the reason.

"Master, Bai Di has betrayed! They attacked the east gate and sacrificed the city gate, and the Zhao army is pouring in continuously!"

...

"Rong Di's human-faced and beast-like heart, if he gets a little unhappy, he will turn back and do harm... As expected today, if we had known that when we entered the city that day, we should have slaughtered those Bai Di of the division first! If this is the case, we may be able to defend more. a few days..."

Fan Jishe has no regrets. Why did Bai Di surrender to Zhao now? Is it temporary? It doesn't matter whether it's a long-planned conspiracy.

The important thing is that the city has been broken, and they are now like tortoises whose hard shells have been pryed open, and they are being slaughtered.

From the high platform, everything is clear. The enemy troops first poured into the east gate, followed by the west gate, south gate, and north gate. Fan Bing's morale had already fallen below freezing point, and soon, the four gates of the outer gate were broken high, and the inner city with low walls could not defend against people at all, not to mention that Zhao Bing had already rushed in following the defeated city gate defenders.

There was chaos in the city. Those war refugees who had poured in before fled, or crowded into the house and dared not come out. Fan Jishe's retainers disappeared in the chaos, some escaped, some were killed, some was captured alive.

"The trend is over..."

Fan Jishe looked at the new moon with a sense of loss.

It only took a few years from following his father's orders to the feudal lords to become a prisoner. It only took a few days to go from being the number one official of Jin with tens of thousands of armors, to today's bare commander. From having hundreds of thousands of people in his family, Wakabayashi, to having nothing, just overnight...

This gap is really big, too big for Fan Jishe to accept!

I think back then ~www.readwn.com~ was young and promising, and the world gave up on me.

But now, the lonely people are embarrassed on the high platform of the common city.

Fan Jishe understood that he could no longer save the defeat, and the enemy would kill here soon. He seemed to have heard Zhao Bing getting closer and closer. Are they tying him up and making him a prisoner? And cut off his head? To put the spear on the tip of the spear to deter the people of the Fan family, or to show mercy and let him be buried with his poor son?

He could almost imagine Zhao Mengsheng captivating himself, or the smugness after seeing his corpse, which he absolutely could not accept.

So Fan Jishe understood that his time of death had come!

He couldn't help laughing miserably and said, "In the dark of May, Zhao Meng is worthy of being a friend of mine when I was young. He really picked a good day for me!"
