The Glorious Summoner

1057 Living up to the common people

On the horizon, a blood-red setting sun shone down on the Jialing river’s ever-surging waters and the broken mountains and rivers.

Outside of fishing city, the Mongolia “army tents were spread out, tightly surrounding the city.

Xia ping ‘an stood tall on the city wall of fishing city and looked at the scene in front of him for more than ten minutes. More than 30 generals of fishing city stood behind Xia ping’ an with solemn and sorrowful expressions.

On the city walls and fortresses, countless soldiers were also looking over.

general, the news has been confirmed. Just a few days ago, Lu Xiufu and his Majesty Zhao Yang jumped into the sea from a cliff. Lu Xiufu and his Majesty have sworn to not surrender. Qianqian of the great song has died, ” Zhang Ji said in a hoarse voice behind Xia Pingan. His voice was trembling, and he could not help but cry.

Many generals behind him were already in tears.

“Another 200-odd commoners from chuanzhong province sought refuge in the city yesterday, almost 200000 commoners. The fertile farmlands and heavenly pools in the city could not feed so many commoners anymore. The remaining grains could last 7 days.”

This was the way the Mongolian army came up with to deal with fishing city. Fishing city was self-sufficient. They drove people from all over the country to the fishing city. If fishing city did not accept them, those people would be killed. In order to prevent those people from being killed, fishing city could only accept them. Then, the population of fishing city expanded from tens of thousands to nearly 200000.

The small fishing city could accommodate more than 100000 refugees and could no longer be self-sufficient. Even Xia Pingan, who was guarding the city, could not eat his fill every day. Everyone distributed food to the refugees and left it for the children and women who were crying for food.

Under such circumstances, mengyuan used both soft and hard tactics. A few days ago, the Emperor of mengyuan, Hu Bilie, personally issued a decree to shoot arrows into the city. As long as fishing city opened its gates and surrendered, everyone in the city would be allowed to live, and the mengyuan Army would not kill a single person.

It was already the year 1279. It had been twenty years since fishing city killed the Great Khan of Mongo, and fishing city had defended for another twenty years. It was like an immortal monument, standing under the sky and on the earth, worthy of the world and the common people.

The sections of the city wall that were soaked in blood and the huge rocks silently bore witness to everything.

The 30 or so generals behind Xia ping ‘an were just like him. All of them had long turned white, and their cheeks were thin. A solemn and stirring atmosphere enveloped everyone.

“The rolling Yangtze River flows to the East, and the waves wash away the heroes. Right and wrong, success and failure, all turned to nothing. the mountains are still there, and the sun has set several times. Xia Pingan didn’t turn her head, but softly recited this immortal by the river. The facts had already proven that a hero could not save a completely rotten and doomed imperial court. Things had to rot on their own, and maggots would grow.

He was able to send men of sacrifice to Lin ‘an to kill Jia Sidao, which changed Wang Jian’s fate. He allowed Wang Jian to continue to guard Diaoyu city, but the fate of the Southern Song Dynasty could not be changed. With the death of Jia Sidao, more Jia sidaos would stand up. Those corrupt officials in the Southern Song Dynasty, who would only shiver in fear and beg for mercy on the battlefield, were like wolves and tigers in the face of generals who had made great contributions on the battlefield. They could work together to attack the opposition by unscrupulous means.

Xiang Shibi and Yin yingfei, who had made great contributions to the resistance against the Mongols, were still persecuted by the traitors in the court. They were sacked and forced to die.

Cao Shixiong was still demoted and exiled.

Gao da, who had made great contributions in Ezhou, was dissatisfied with the Imperial envoy sent by the court for stealing military achievements. He had said a small phrase, ” what can a mighty turban do? ” he had been demoted and finally died of depression.

Liu Zheng was still forced to use Yuan in the end.

There were too many such examples.

Jia Sidao was dead, but his unscrupulous methods of eliminating dissidents and planting his own people in the court were perfectly inherited by those who were left in the court, and by the Lu group. Jia Sidao was not alone, but a rotten group of bureaucrats. As long as you were not one of them, it was useless to make great contributions in the military, and you might even get yourself killed. the general of the angry army was not punished, but the rank was restored immediately. the conflict between the Imperial court and the military generals did not decrease because of Jia Shidao’s death. Instead, it continued to erupt.

When the great song Dynasty was in danger, the corrupted group of bureaucrats in Lin ‘an city was still suppressing those who had made great contributions by all means. They were still fighting for power, forming parties for personal gain, and indulging in corruption and extravagance, regardless of the life and death of the country, the people, and the morale of the Army.

The result of this was that the song Army ” collapsed before the battle, attacked when defeated, and lived as if it was nothing strange “. the armies at home and abroad were often said to be better defeated than defeated, and better merits than faults.

When the Mongolia army reached Lin ‘an city, they were the first to open their gates and surrender. They continued their rich lives.

If such an imperial court was not destroyed, the heavens would not tolerate it.

Sometimes, Xia ping ‘an even wanted to lead the Army to flatten Lin’ an city and trample the rotten imperial court into pieces.

The ones who destroyed great song were not Meng Yuan, but the corrupt officials in Lin an city! The great song’s skyscraper had only collapsed under the external pressure because of their parasitic corrosion! This was the truth of history!

……

Xia ping ‘an slowly turned around and looked at the old and sincere faces behind him. Many of these faces used to be full of vitality and unparalleled strength. Some of them had disappeared in the decades-long battle to defend the city and would remain in fishing city forever.

Xia ping ‘an’s gaze fell on an old general who was in his sixties. He had a white beard and two arrow wounds on his face, but his body was still straight. The old General’s eyes were red, and he was holding back his grief. The armor he was wearing had been worn for decades and was already damaged. There were marks left by swords and arrows all over the armor.

Xia ping ‘an asked softly, ” Yu Chen, how many years have we been guarding this fishing city? ”

general, since the first attack of the Mongolian army, we have been defending fishing city for 36 years! The old general named Yu Chen replied in a rough voice.

that’s right. It’s been 36 years. Xia Pingan’s voice was filled with admiration and a little heroism. He glanced at the generals of fishing city and said, ” in the past 36 years, you have all guarded fishing city and not let the invincible Mongolian army take a single step into the inner city of fishing city. We have also killed countless Mongolian soldiers here and even killed the Great Khan of Mongo, allowing great song to survive for another 20 years. Now that great song has fallen, our fishing city is still here, and the people of fishing city are still here. All of you have contributed greatly. No shame to the Imperial court, no shame to the people of chuanzhong, no shame to the world, no shame to the common people. Thank you all for following me all these years. Please accept my bow!”

After Xia ping ‘an finished speaking, he knelt down to the generals behind him and cupped his fists.

general! more than 30 generals burst into tears. One by one, they knelt down in front of Xia Pingan. The clattering of their armor resounded on the city wall. if we have an afterlife, we are still willing to be your subordinates and kill enemies with you to protect our country!

After kowtowing to the generals, Xia ping ‘an suddenly stood up and helped the generals up one by one. Everyone hugged their heads and cried.

for the past 36 years, Meng Yuan has never taken down fishing city, and fishing city has never fallen. But today, in order to prevent the people of chuanzhong from being massacred and to leave a path of survival for the 200000 people in the city, I have already decided to open the city gates and have the people surrender to Meng Yuan. Hu Bilie is also a mighty Lord, and he will definitely not go back on his word and become a laughingstock. After I die, everyone shall follow this order and execute it, ” Xia Pingan said to the generals around him.

general, you … Zhang Ji and the other generals looked at Xia ping ‘an in shock. Everyone was a little shocked by this decision, but it was within their expectations.

Xia Pingan pulled out the Dragon spring sword, which had killed countless enemies, and laughed. there are no generals in fishing city who surrender. If I don’t surrender, even if the mengyuan Army can enter fishing city, they will never be able to take it down. The general who killed their Khan will never surrender to them. Thanks to your help in this life, I’ve fought a great battle in fishing city. I’m worthy of the world’s reputation. In my next life, I’ll go to war with you brothers!

After he finished speaking, Xia Pingan exerted some force in his hand and the long sword was placed across his neck. A stream of blood spurted out from his neck.

Xia ping ‘an’s long sword was on the ground. His body was dead, but he stood tall on the castle tower like an immortal statue.

general! seeing this, all the soldiers on the city wall of fishing city knelt down and cried.

my brothers, the general still needs a brother to accompany him on his journey. I’ll go with the general and lead the horse for him. We’ll see each other again in the next life, Xuanji. the old general named Yu Chen smiled and wiped away his tears. He also drew out the sword from his waist and committed suicide. His green blood splattered on the city wall.

“Old brother Yu, wait for me. Let’s go find the general together. Once we’re in the netherworld, we’ll have another fight with these sons of b * tches. I’m afraid they’ll just hammer him down.” Another old general drew his sword and cut himself on the city wall.

me too. If the general wants to wear armor, he can’t leave me out. another old general smiled and pulled out a long sword from his waist.

“My old brothers, I’m here!”

The sound of swords being drawn could be heard from the castle. In just a moment, more than 30 generals who had guarded fishing city for 36 years had all followed general Wang Jian to commit suicide on the city wall when fishing city decided to open the gate and surrender to save the people in the city.

At this moment, on the city wall of fishing city, green blood was flying everywhere, and the air was filled with righteousness. The plants were sad, and the wind and clouds changed color.

The news quickly spread to the city, and the 200000 people in the city all knelt down and cried in the direction of the city wall. Their cries shook the sky.

The troops of Meng Yuan who were guarding outside the city only heard the deafening cries in the city today, but they did not know what had happened in the city.

The next day, the city gate of fishing city, which had been sealed for 36 years by the mengyuan Army, finally opened slowly. The people and soldiers of the city were all wearing mourning clothes. They shed tears and held back their grief as they carried more than 30 coffins of the generals of the city out slowly.

Fishing city, the place where God’s whip was broken, had been defended for 36 years and had never been breached! Never!
