32. Conspiracy

As the autumn wind cooled, the grassland became bleak. Looking at the patches of grass turning from green to yellow, the homesickness in the Wuwei camp was flooded. It had been a whole year. I had not reunited with my wife for a year. In the eyes of many soldiers, it was extremely unbearable. Therefore, when Yang Hao ordered the troops to retreat, the battalions were like the New Year. There was no need to mobilize now. The eagerly thoughtful soldiers packed their luggage as fast as possible. Just waited for the order from above, they flew over the thousand-mile pass and returned to their warm nest. W√w    W★.

The order to withdraw troops was issued secretly, and the daunting black robe began to cruise in the camp again, supervising the battalions to retreat in an orderly manner. Anyone who makes trouble during the retreat will definitely be the result of his personal head falling to the ground.

The Khitans siege the city for a year, and except for selling water and extorting a little gold and silver, they almost did not get any benefits. As soon as the Khitans left, the Dashi City celebrated a lot, and the celebration feast lasted for three days and three nights. After the Khitans left, small tribes nearby came to trade, including cattle, sheep, vegetables, and wine, which was enough to support this grand celebration dinner.

The princes and ministers below Kraje also acted as a joy to the people. They took to the streets to raise glasses with the people to celebrate this hard-won victory, praised the brave and fearless city guards, criticized the evil Khitans, and skilled craftsmen carved statues of Galgudu, Zhang Bozhong and others with wood, and paraded the streets. Wherever they went, the people treated these statues in the most contemptuous way, threw rotten eggs, spitting, and urinating at them.

On the third day of the celebration, the theme was quietly changed. The city lord Krager publicly declared at a rally that in addition to the brave and fearless city defenders who helped them save the city, there were also distinguished guests from afar - Jiankun Warriors.

On the morning of the fourth day, the sky, which had been clear for half a month, suddenly cloudy, and the cold wind blew through the streets and alleys. After three days and three nights of carnival, the whole city was exhausted. On the cold morning, except for some old people who were used to getting up early, even the most diligent scavenger disappeared. People were sleeping soundly. Perhaps after noon, sleepy people appeared on the streets. At this time, Kraje's official residence was in a tense and solemn manner. Before dawn this morning, Age's special envoy Nareev arrived in the city, and he announced to Age and the military and political officials of Hecheng:

Your allies, the great Jiankun Khan Are, have led his invincible Huangying Warrior to the outside of the city. Please ask friends from Dashi City to inform the Khitans as soon as possible where they are stationed. Khan and his warriors will eliminate this disaster for you.

This is really a lie. The Khitans withdrew their troops south half a month ago. Where can I find the Khitans to fight at this time? People are questioning more than this. Didn’t the city lord say that he invited the Tianlang Army? Where did these blue eyes and yellow-headed Jiankun come from?

Kraje had to defend this. He scolded the Tianlang Army for breaking the promise and praised the selflessness and heroism of the warriors of Jiankun. He defended the Jiankun people as well as defending himself, but his defense statement was not even the governor of Liu Meng, who was closest to him. People began to accuse Kraje of bringing the wolf into the house, which would cause Dashi City to fall into another disaster. It seemed that these Jiankuns were both cunning and barbaric. They sang high-profile in their mouths, but privately did the most vicious things: their army had just arrived at the city and took control of the water source west of the city, called protection. The Khitans had left, what do you want to protect?

If they controlled the water source like the Khitans, the fate of Dashi City would inevitably be manipulated in their palms. It would not be surprising that people were hesitating and resentful, and burning their anger towards Kraje.

On that afternoon, a legend began to spread among the people in the city: the city lord Krare led the wolf into the house. The blue-eyed and yellow-eyed Jiankun people were not invited reinforcements, but robbers who came to take advantage of the situation. The people were angry. Are we not guilty enough? Just drove away a wolf, and now another tiger has come. The eternal and great heaven of immortality. Why do you treat your people so cruelly? Are we the outcast people who were abandoned by you?

If people lose their fear of God, they can do anything.

The people of Dashi City, who were consciously abandoned by God, have now abandoned God. They all walked out of their houses, raised their swords and guns to the city lord Kraje, and roared at the nobles who rode on their heads toward the heaven of Changsheng who treated others so unfairly.

The riot began late at night and was extinguished at dawn.

The city was filled with corpses and blood flowed into rivers. One-seventh of the people in the city died in riots, one-fifth of the houses turned into ashes, and one-third of the soldiers were killed.

The riot gave the Jiankun people the best excuse. They started to flock into the city from midnight. By dawn, there had exceeded 30,000 Jiankun warriors in the city. The streets and alleys were shaking blue eyes and yellow-headed shadows everywhere. Even the mansion of the city lord Kraje was wandering with Jiankun soldiers.

Krare has become a puppet, and his home has become the camp of Leng Deke, the general under Are. Leng Deke calls his mother A Niang and regards him as the closest and closest brother. Any good things between good brothers should be shared. The wine that Krare has collected for many years has become the favorite in Leng Deke's cup. His sword inlaid with red sapphire was hung on Leng Deke's belt. The beauty of the singer who he tried his best to collect was also tied to the outside of the city by Leng Deke with a rope. His beautiful wife and concubine had to dedicate it to share with his righteous brothers.

Kraje swallowed his anger, hoping that the Jiankun people would return Dashi City to himself after robbing him. He said with self-deprecatingly that in order to quell the Anshi Rebellion, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty also used the Uighurs as a reward. The Emperor promised the children of Chang'an City to use the jade and silk with the guests. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was the emperor, and he could do it, why could I not do it?

Kraje kept reminding himself to endure, tolerate, and to have a measure. His children can come back after they leave, and his beautiful wife and concubines can be remarried. As long as I am still the lord of Dashi City, everything I have lost can be found.

But to his frustration, the Jiankun people seemed to have regarded this as their home and planned to live for a long time. The things at home wanted to take and use them. The ones with a big appetite were almost endless. All those who could be collected were collected and the Jinkun people were piled up into the camp, and gold, silver, jade and silk were piled up into mountains, people and horses became lined up, and the food was too much to be stored. The beautiful girls were no longer favored. The Jiankun people asked them to naked and drove them away as slaves. The city was plundered, and the wealth accumulated over hundreds of years was empty. The people were despised, and the officials and nobles complained.

But Kraje's heart gradually warmed up, and his eyes were full of energy.

It seems that Jiankun people still have to leave. After all, they are barbarians on the grassland and they are not lucky enough to enjoy this prosperous place. Let's go, let's just think that they have a serious illness. The disease comes like a mountain falling down, and the disease goes like a thread. When the disease root is gone, the disease can be cured. Without illness or disaster, life can continue.

Of course, the scheming Kraje didn't believe that the Jiankun people would leave this so easily, and they had to put some pressure on them. Under his instigation, there was another riot in the city. Although every riot was suppressed by the Jiankun people without exception, the Jiankun people obviously lost patience. Leng Deke spitted to him, "When the heavy snow stops, we will go back to the grassland."

Kraje said falsely: "No, our brothers are not well enough yet. It's snowing heavily and the road is blocked. How can you go? Why not wait until the spring of the next year to set off?" Leng Deke smiled and said: "We are the descendants of Huang Ying, how could we be trapped by the heavy snow? Thanks to the hospitality of my brother, I will give you a big gift before leaving." Kraje said he didn't dare, treating brothers from afar is the duty of human beings.

Leng De Ke said: "Even so, if I don't repay you, I will not bear it. I know that you, the city lord, were elected by all the major families in the city, and were constrained by them everywhere, and were very frustrated. Taking this opportunity, why don't you cut them off in one fell swoop, and you can do whatever you want."

When Kraje heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "If I help me succeed, I will be a blood ally with my brother, and I will never betray my brother." Cold Kexi said, "I have this intention." Then he prepared a table of incense, and blood ally, and became sworn brothers.

The famous singer in Krager's mansion is the most favored by Krager. Leng Deko is in the mansion. Except for Krager's wife, the other concubines are allowed to take her, but she hides Qing Qing. After becoming sworn brothers this day, Krager dedicated Qing Qing Qing Qing to show his sincerity. Qing Qing was a Han Chinese. In the past, she lived in Dashi City with her mother and sang in the music hall. She often got Yin Yichuo Zhou Ji. She was grateful. After discovering the secrets of the two, she risked her life to leave the house and reported Yin Yichuo.

Yin Yichu was shocked, and Zhang Huang was disregarded, so he wanted to escape from the city. Qingqing advised: "He wants to catch everyone in the city in one place. Why not join forces with all the families to promote righteousness and occupy the city, and ask for help from the Uighur Khan. In this way, life can be guaranteed and great achievements can be accomplished." Yin Yichu was ashamed when he heard this, and repeatedly said: "I am not as knowledgeable as you, a singer, and you are ashamed to kill people."

He thought for a long time and came to see 6 Meng alone. 6 Meng was drinking in the room of Krare's daughter Liang Yan. He heard the news and hung his wife aside and got up to see him. Liang Yan felt secretly: Yin Yichuo has always been incompatible with my father, and he must have a reason for visiting him late at night. Nunuu and instructed a clever close-fitting maid to follow him.

6 Meng Jiu was in the Han area and converted to Chinese culture. The houses in the mansion were all set up by the wealthy families in the Central Plains. There was a corridor outside the wall of the study, and the windows were opened on the wall, and it was pasted with paper. The maid approached the study in the name of sending tea, and lay outside the wall for eavesdropping.

Yin Yichu saw 6 Meng crying on the ground. 6 Meng asked why. Yin Yichu said, "If the governor is not saved, I will die without a place to bury him." 6 Meng asked about the reason carefully, Yin Yichu wiped his tears before informing Krare and Leng Deke of private swornship. 6 Meng said disrespectfully: "You are thinking too much, this is just a plan for the city lord to restrain himself."

Yin Yichuo said angrily: "The governor is open and gentleman, and he thinks about everything better. If the city lord uses a strategy of restraint, why should he be sworn in secret? Only when he is open and upright can he show glory. He wants to be indifferent, cruel and ruthless, and his heart is so cruel. He has entered the city, knocked his bones and sucked marrow, and exploited many families. Which of you and me is not humiliated by him? How many families have been destroyed? In the past, when he entered the city, he threatened to cut off all the families in the city. Such people were able to do it. Now he is leaving, but he has made sworn in private with the city lord. Wouldn't he want to attack me?"

6 Meng pondered: "What are the benefits for him to get rid of you and me?"

Yin Yichu said, "If you and I do not have any restraint, he can hold the city lord hostage and do whatever he wants."

Seeing that 6 Meng still didn't believe it, Yin Yichu said, "The governor doesn't believe it. Tomorrow, he can send someone to invite him to the mansion for a banquet, which is to say it is a farewell banquet. Do you see if he dares to come? If he dares to come, he will have no ghosts in his heart. If he dares not come, he will have a ghost in his heart."

6 Meng heard the sound and slapped the table. He grabbed the tea bowl and looked at Yin Yichu's face and smashed it. Yin Yichu was so scared that he was stunned, his legs trembled and unable to move. The tea bowl flew over to his ears, passed through the paper-patterned window, and hit someone with a "splash".

He heard the guards outside the door screaming: "There is an assassin, and the assassin is injured and he left." The courtyard was in chaos, but when he heard the armor clanging and the sword was unsheathed, someone shouted: "I got it, I got it." A woman with a messy head and a bloody forehead was brought in. 6 Meng drew her sword in her hand and shouted: "Who sent you here?" The woman stubbornly said nothing. 6 Meng raised her sword and fell, and she was ordered to drag the dead body out and said to Yin Yichu: "Just do it according to your idea."
