Chapter 973 A Song of Ice and Fire ([-])
The laughter continued for a long time, and the atmosphere under the pergola seemed to explode at any time due to the out-of-control emotions of the confronting parties.

There were only four figures under the pergola, and the only ones sitting at the table were Ning Yi and Zong Han, but because behind each other stood tens of thousands of troops, millions or even tens of millions of people, the atmosphere was here. It became very subtle for a while.

Zong Han is a brave man who came out of the white mountains and black waters. He has also killed countless enemies in the battle. If it is said that he has shown restraint for the generals and even the kings, after Ning Yi's words, this is true. In a moment, he truly showed the wildness and ferocity that belonged to the Jurchen brave, and even Lin Qiu felt that the Jurchen Marshal on the opposite side might open the table at any time and rush over to kill Ning Yi.

As for Mr. Ning, although he seems to be gentle in recent years, even outside the army, he has faced numerous assassinations, and even directly confronted Zhou Tong, Lin Zongwu and other warriors without losing his strength.Even in the face of Zong Han and Gao Qingyi, at the moment when he came with the victory of Wangyuan Bridge, he always showed upright calmness and a huge sense of oppression.

Lin Qiu stared at Gao Qingyi, but at this moment, an extremely strange feeling rose in his heart.If at this moment the two sides really kicked off the table and fought, and the future of the hundreds of thousands of troops and the entire world was changed due to such a situation, then it would be... too dramatic.

Zong Han waved his hand in the air, slammed it on the table, took the small bamboo tube in his hand, and his tall figure suddenly rose, looking down at Ning Yi.

"...For the sake of this southern expedition, over the past few years, Gu Shen has checked many things about you. This commander was a little surprised. He killed the emperor of the Wu Dynasty and put the Han people in the world. How could there be the kindness of a woman at this moment." Zong Han's words carried hoarse majesty and contempt, "Tens of thousands of lives in the Han region? Repayment of blood debts? Ning Rentu, putting together these words at this moment makes you look stingy, If the name of the inner demon is just a few nonsense words like this, how are you different from a woman! It makes people laugh."

"I will accept the things. I will remember your words. But I am a big gold and a Jurchen, and I am worthy of this world." He took two steps in front of the table, and opened his hands, "Life is in this world, and this world is Hunting ground! Liao people are brutal! My Jurchen rebelled with thousands of people, and in more than ten years destroyed the entire Liao! Another ten years to destroy the Wu Dynasty! Tens of millions of lives in the Central Plains? How many are my Jurchens? Even if I really killed them , Tens of thousands of people, living in a wealthy place! Can be killed by hundreds of thousands of troops in a mere amount of money, but don't know how to resist! That is also a waste of nature, and there are more victims."

"Ning Rentu, you said that."

Zong Han paused word by word and pointed to Ning Yi.

"To this day, you said in front of this commander that you want to avenge and collect debts for tens of millions of people? In Bianliang, you have a part in the massacre, in Xiaocanghe, you slaughter more, it is you who killed Wu The emperor of the dynasty made the situation in the Wu dynasty turbulent, and then I Dajin won the second southern expedition. It was you who knocked on the door of the Central Plains for us. The people of the Wu dynasty have begged you, your friend Li Pin, please save the world Everyone, countless Confucian scholars persuade you to be kind, but you are unmoved and sneered!"

"You, care about these millions of people?"

Zonghan shook his head slowly but firmly.

"You don't care about thousands of people, but you are sitting here today, taking the lives of thousands of people you don't care about, and wanting to make me feel... do you regret the beginning? The benefits of words that are not sincere, Ning Liheng. Women's actions."

His last four words were spoken word by word, and Ning Yi sat there, looking at the scornful and contemptuous old man in front of him with some admiration.After confirming that the other party finished speaking, he also said, "It's very powerful. The Han people have a saying, I don't know if you have heard of Nianhan."

"……Say."

"A gentleman is far from a kitchen." Ning Yi said, "This is what a man named Meng Ke said in China. A gentleman is like a beast. When he sees his life, he can't bear to see it die; when he hears its sound, he can't bear to eat its meat. A gentleman is far from cooking. It means that meat still needs to be eaten, but it is very important to have a heart of benevolence. If someone thinks that they should not eat meat, or if they eat meat and do not know what is going on in the kitchen, they are mostly confused. Eggs, if you eat meat, you feel that the law of the world is the best for the weak and the strong.

He just sat and looked at Zong Han with the eyes of beasts: "People of the Wu Dynasty, when they ate meat, they forgot that there was a cook in the kitchen who was killing pigs with a knife. After driving away the butcher and cook, he said he was kind. , they are idiots. Nianhan, I am different, when I can cook far away, I can be a gentleman. But without the butcher and the cook... I will cook with my own knife."

"If kindness is useful, kneel down and ask for help, you will stop killing people. I can also be a kind person, but there is no way ahead for them." Ning Yi slowly leaned back in his chair and looked into the distance. Office: "Zhou Zhe has no way ahead, Li Pin has no way ahead, and there is no way in front of thousands of kind-hearted people in the Wu Dynasty. When they came to beg me, I scoffed, but because of three words: I can't do it."

"So from the beginning to the end, Wu Chao kept his voice for ten years, but in the end no one stood in front of you, like today, forcing you to come over and talk to me as an equal. Do things like Wu Chao, and they will be slaughtered. The next ten million people, and you will never treat them as human beings from the beginning to the end. But today, Nianhan, do you think you are tall when you stand looking at me? Are you looking down on me? Gao Qingyi, how about you?"

When he said this, he slowly turned his eyes back to Zong Han's face, there were four people present, but he was sitting alone: ​​"So, Nianhan, it's not that I have no mercy for those thousands of people. Only because I know that it is not superficial pity to save them. If you think I'm joking...you can't bear all the things I'm going to do to you next."

The surroundings were quiet for a moment, and then, Gao Qingyi, who had made provocative words earlier, looked at Zonghan and laughed: "These words are quite interesting. However, have you made a mistake..."

"Of course, General Gao is going to say that I am empty." At this point, Ning Yi smiled and waved his hands to let go of the previous seriousness, "Today's Shiling, the reason why you two came here is not because Whoever has reached the dead end, the Southwest battlefield, your numbers still have the upper hand, and even if you are at a disadvantage, you have never encountered the Jurchen who came out of the white mountains and black waters. The two of you came over, to put it bluntly, just because of the defeat of the Wangyuan Bridge. , The oblique guard was captured, I want to come and talk."

"No problem. What's on the battlefield is not about words. It's almost done. Let's talk about negotiations."

He suddenly changed the subject and put his palm on the table. Zong Han, who had something to say, frowned slightly, but then he sat down slowly: "It's so good, it's time to talk about business."

"The business is over. The rest are chores." Ning Yi looked at him, "I'm going to kill your son."

After he finished saying this word by word, he turned slightly and pointed to the high platform behind: "Wait a minute, right there, my people will hold Wanyan up there, and I will stand in front of everyone on your side. , blow Wanyan Xiebao's head, we will declare his crimes, including war, murder, rape, against humanity..."

Ning Yi's words were like a machine. He spoke word by word. The atmosphere was suffocating. The faces of Zong Han and Gao Qingyi did not show much emotion at this time. Only after Ning Yi finished speaking, Zong Han said slowly: "Kill him, what are you talking about?"

"Talk about changing prisoners."

"You killed Xie Bao, then talk about changing prisoners?"

"Killing your son and changing prisoners are two different things."

Zong Han leaned on the back of the chair, and Ning Yi leaned on the back of the chair. The two looked at each other for a moment, and Ning Yi spoke slowly.

"The battle lasted for four months. The Han army who surrendered one after another from your side told us that there were about 900 prisoners captured by you. I captured more than 2 people at Wangyuan Bridge, and these 2 people They are the elite among you. This is what I think: Among them, there must be many people who have a respected father behind them, and have a family of one kind or another. They are the backbone of the Jurchen and your supporters. They should have They are the main candidates responsible for all the blood debts of the Jin Kingdom, and I should have killed them too."

"But here today, there are only the four of us. You are big people. I am very polite and willing to do something big people should do with you. I will resist my urge to kill them and temporarily suppress the blood debt they should pay. , it is up to you to decide which people to replace. Of course, considering that you have a habit of abusing prisoners, there are disabled people in the Huaxia Army's prisoners exchanged with normal people, two for one. "

Ning Yi spread his right hand toward the front: "You will find that doing business with the Huaxia Army is very fair."

"We're going back to General Xie Bao." Gao Qingyi said first.

"The oblique guarantee is not for sale."

"Then there is no need to change." Gao Qingyi said.

"Then don't change." Ning Yi stared at Zong Han without looking at Gao Qingyi, clasped his hands, and said after a while, "When you return to the north, you will have to explain to many people, and you will also have to wrestle with Zongfu Zongbi. , but there are no such hilltop forces in the Huaxia Army. We exchanged the prisoners out of kindness. This incident is the icing on the cake for us, and it is a help in the snow for you. As for the son, the big man must take the responsibility of the big man, the business is ahead, the dead son Just hold back. After all, countless people in the Central Plains have lost their sons."

Zonghan said, "Your son is not dead."

"I had a miscarriage." Ning Yi said, "Also, when the Chinese New Year was approaching, you sent someone to assassinate my second son secretly, but unfortunately it failed. I succeeded today, and Xie Bao must die. Let's change someone else."

"No one will change if there is no oblique guard." Gao Qingyi took a step closer.

"Then don't change, get ready to fight."

Zong Han did not express his position, Gao Qingyi said: "Commander, we can talk about other things."

"It's nothing." Ning Yi said.

Zong Han stared at Ning Yi, Ning Yi also sat there, waiting for the other party's statement, Gao Qingyi whispered again.In fact, such a thing can only be opened by him, showing a firm attitude.Time passed minute by minute, Ning Yi looked behind him, then stood up: "I was going to kill your son when you were preparing to kill you. I thought there would be a sunset, but it looks like a cloudy day. Lin Qiu is waiting here, if you want to Talk, just talk here, if you want to fight, you come back."

"Yes." Lin Qiu saluted and promised.

Ning Yi tapped his fingers on the table, turned his head and glanced at Zong Han and Gao Qingyi, and then glanced again: "Some things, it is better to accept them happily than to drag things out. Things on the battlefield have always been spoken with fists, and the oblique protection has been broken. If you don't recognize it in your heart, it will only add to the pain. Of course, I am a kind person. If you really feel that it is difficult to accept your son's death in front of you, I can give you a proposal. "

He turned his body straight, looked at the two of them, and paused slightly: "I'm afraid you won't be able to swallow it."

"Let's hear it." Gao Qingyi said.

"Then don't say that I didn't give you a chance, there are two ways." Ning Yi raised his finger, "First, protect one person diagonally, and replace all the prisoners of the Huaxia Army in your hands. Hundreds of thousands of troops, many people have eyes. Miscellaneous, I'm not afraid of your tricks. From now on, if the Huaxia Army soldiers in your hands are still damaged, I will take off the slanting guards, hands and feet, and give them back to you alive. Second, use the Huaxia Army prisoners in exchange for The people of Wangyuanqiao, I only talk about the health of a soldier, not about the title, enough to give you face..."

When his words came to this point, Zong Han's palm landed heavily on the wooden table.Ning Yi was unmoved, and his eyes were already fixed.

"Don't be angry. The two armies are fighting to the death. I definitely want to kill you all. The purpose of changing the prisoners now is to let everyone die with dignity. The things I gave you must be poisonous, but swallow or not, It's all up to you. I'm at a disadvantage in this exchange. General Gao, you played a game of bad face and bad face with Nian Han. I won't interrupt you. I gave you a way to go. You have a lot of face. Don't bargain anymore .Just like this exchange method, you have exchanged all the prisoners there, and there is one less... I will kill all 2 people to build a Beijing Temple and give it to you bastards."

After he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and left here.Zong Han stood up, and Lin Qiu stepped forward to confront the two of them. The afternoon sunlight was pale and pale.

The moment Ning Yi returned to the camp, a large number of leaflets were thrown out of the woods at several points from Jin Bing's camp, and flew towards the camp. At this time, Zong Han and Gao Qingyi were only halfway there. Someone came running with a flyer. The flyer said that Ning Yi offered Zong Han and Gao Qingyi two "choice" conditions.

Turning around, someone was dragged up on the wooden platform in front of Shiling and knelt there. That was Wanyan Xiebao.

He still wanted to resist on the wooden platform, but was beaten mercilessly by the Huaxia soldiers with a stick, and then pulled up and tied him up.

It was the moment of Shenshi (03:30 p.m.) of the day, and it was not far from Youshi (five o'clock).

This may be the most humiliating moment that Jurchen has encountered after 20 years of prosperity.At the same moment, there was an even more unacceptable battle report, which had already reached the hands of Xi Yin, Zong Han and others in the Jurchen camp.

Tuo Lisu's elder brother, the Jurchen general Yin Shuke, died in the hands of Chen Fan during the Battle of Changsha.

But the one who really decided the victory and defeat of Changsha was a little person who was originally unknown and almost never noticed by everyone.

- General of the Wu Dynasty, Yu Mingzhou.
