"A peaceful life really passes by quickly. Today is New Year's Eve." Jing Wei said as he stretched. The world was still calm. The tragedy of the Yellow Turban Army silenced the world's anger. In February, Wan City was still covered in ice and snow. However, the festive atmosphere made Wancheng immersed in joy. He had forgotten the cold outside and the sorrow of the chaotic world.
People were praising the wise prefect, the mighty generals, and Yan Gao's ability to do things. This Yan Gao was indeed very capable, and Jing Wei had specially investigated his background.
Born in Wancheng, he studied Confucianism since childhood. His parents died early and he was raised by his neighbors. Later, he set up a private school to support his livelihood. It was indeed ordinary, but it was reasonable.
"Brother, you're so busy until so late. You're up so early?" Jing Zhi, who was sleeping at the side, said with sleepy eyes. In other words, the night Yan Gao volunteered himself, there was a spring rain and a sudden clap of thunder. Jing Zhi was so scared that he hid and slept with Jing Wei. After that, life went back to how it was in the past. They slept and ate together, and they talked and laughed.
"What a child." Jing Wei stroked Jing Zhi's head lovingly. Jing Zhi also showed an expression of enjoyment, but he said in his heart,"My dear brother, I'm no longer a child.”，"Hurry up and get up! I still have to go to Teacher Yan's place to study today. Remember to pay my New Year's greetings.”Jing Wei urged.
In order to give Jing Wei a good learning environment, Jing Wei handed Jing Zhi to Yan Gao to learn Confucianism. Although he was not famous, his knowledge was not less than anyone else. Jing Wei didn't let Yan Gao only be responsible for guiding Jing Zhi. Instead, he let Yan Gao run a private school as usual and let Jing Zhi experience the joy of being a classmate. It was just that there were no holidays in ancient private schools.
"No! Let me sleep a little longer!" Jing Zhi lazed in bed like a normal child. "If you don't get up, you'll be late! Do you believe that I'll ask Pang De, Shi Wanbao, and Wen Pin to deal with you together?”Jing Wei threatened like a mother.
"Hello, Teacher Yan! I'm here to pay my respects!" At this moment, Yan Gao was surrounded by a group of children who were jumping around and shouting. At this moment, Yan Gao gave off the feeling of Santa Claus. He was wearing brand new clothes and giving red packets to every child amiably.
Pang De, who was guarding the manor, was also leaning against the door with a pot of wine in his hand, enjoying the peace with a smile on his face. Of course, the soldiers couldn't rest even during the Spring Festival, but they still wanted to enjoy the hard-earned peace. The Wenpin who was guarding the border also organized an activity under the strong suggestion of the soldiers and was now busy preparing for the evening activity.
Within a year, Jingwei led his troops to occupy thirty-five counties of Champion, Ye, Xinye, Zhangling, Xi'e, Zhi, Luyang, Wei, Duyang, Bowang, Wuyin, Biyang, Fuyang, Pingshi, Jiyang, Huyang, Sui, Yuyang, Nieyang, Yin, Wei, Deng, Shandu, Li, Rang, Chaoyang, Caiyang, Anzhong, Zhuyang, Wudang, Shunyang, Xiangxiang, Nanxiang, Danshui and Xi. Although they were all unimportant cities, they did indeed control Nanyang County now. He had also summoned two historical figures, Wang Jun and Duan Ning.
Jing Wei's meager knowledge of history was naturally unrecognizable, and the so-called system in his mind seemed to be very problematic. It was as if he had been blocked by some kind of power. He introduced Duan Ning's identity in detail, but he was vague about Wang Jun.
However, it seemed to be related to Yue Fei, and Jing Wei vaguely remembered that there was such a person in the Yue Family Army, so he valued him very much. Not only did he get two famous people who had transmigrated, but he also got Shen Dan, Jiao Chu, and Zhao Ci from recruiting local wise men.
They were all unimportant people, but Jing Wei had to show the image of being polite to the wise. Every time someone came to surrender, they would put on an excited face.
Pang De, Shi Wanbao, and Wen Pin were still leading the army. The rest of Wang Jun and Jiao Chu followed Pang De. Shen Dan returned to Wen Pin, Duan Ning followed Shi Wanbao. Zhao Ci was a local and was familiar with the terrain. Jing Wei had entrusted him to patrol around Wan City. Shi Wanbao led his men to patrol the city and planned to sneak to Wenpin's place to attend the party at night.
The white snow whistled, but it could not resist the joy of the new year. Every house was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers. In the peaceful year, everyone relaxed.
"Eh, General Pang, why are you here?”Shi Wanbao said awkwardly. "Shh! Together?" Pang De became even more nervous. These two big shots in the military couldn't hold back their loneliness and sneaked to the employment office to attend the party. Speaking of which, life in ancient times was indeed boring.
It was rare to have such an event. Even people like Pang De and Shi Wanbao wanted to join in the fun. "Cough cough! Wang Jun! Scorching Touch! "Hey! Duan Ning!" Pang De and Shi Wanbao shouted at the same time.
"What? General!" Wang Jun and the other two were shocked by the sudden voice behind them. They immediately stood up and returned in fear. However, Pang De and the others did not blame him. After all, they were also here. However, Shi Wanbao was still swaggering."I have military merits and am only here to attend the banquet…"
"It's fine. Generals, you've worked hard this year. Today's banquet will be treated as a reward for everyone. Have fun!" Jing Wei waved his hand and said to everyone. At this moment, Wenpin was crying in the corner and said,"Yes, sir! It's not like I'm spending your money anyway…"
It was unknown if it was an illusion, but Wenpin vaguely felt Jing Wei's fox-like cunning gaze. "Why didn't my lord bring Young Lord and Elder Yan here? It's all thanks to Elder Yan this year." After three rounds of wine, Wen Pin, who was not as good at drinking as Pang De and Shi Wanbao, asked with a drunken look.
Of course, Jing Wei was already drunk and had vomited a few times. He was even mocked by Pang De and the others. "Humph! I brought my brother here. Won't he be taught badly by you? As for Elder Yan, he said that he was too old to be tormented and went to rest first.”
Jing Wei replied while lying on the table. It was getting late at night, and fireworks were blooming in the sky. However, there shouldn't be such fireworks in the Han Dynasty. It seemed like this world was slowly being integrated.
From generals to soldiers. They were all drunk and looked at the beauty that this world should not have. In his daze, Jing Wei was recalling the happy life he had with his parents and brother during the New Year. "Later, when I go back, I will definitely cheat some fireworks from Wenpin and play with my brother.”Jing Wei said.
Jing Zhi was also in the room, watching the fireworks. The direction was the city gate. On the other side of the room, Yan Gao looked in the same direction as the fire and said,"We'll know soon." The fire was burning brightly, but it could not illuminate the darkness.
Not long ago, Zhao Ci finished his inspection. He led his troops into the city and sneaked to the banquet hall, but he did not participate. Instead, he led his troops to change into black clothes and hide in the night. They splashed fuel around, killed the drunk guards, and blocked the door.
Among them, there were Jiangxia soldiers who complained about being heard by Yan Gao all day long under the oppression of the whole year. Therefore, Yan Gao fanned the flames. This caused Zhao Ci, the leader of the Jiangxia soldiers, to finally be unable to suppress the thought of betrayal. In fact, even without Yan Gao, Zhao Ci would have betrayed and killed Qin Jie in history.
After Zhao Ci agreed to rebel, Yan Gao started planning this incident. He ordered all the Jiangxia soldiers to publicize the New Year's Eve party. In the end, Wenpin finally could not withstand the pressure and agreed to hold it. Therefore, Yan Gao used his identity to go between the generals and pretended to reveal the matter unintentionally. He ordered Jing Zhi to convey the matter to Jing Wei. No matter how many people came to this banquet, it would be a death banquet. It would definitely be profitable.
"Looks like the effect is surprisingly good." Zhao Ci looked at the number of horses in the stable and said excitedly. Behind him, the gates of Wan City were once again ablaze. However, this time, Jing Wei was no longer a bystander, but a member of the fire who thirsted for life.
Everyone was already drunk and did not know what was going on. Jing Wei looked at the gradually rising fire and even thought that it was the most brilliant fireworks. The red light that lit up in the darkness was like a lantern held by the Grim Reaper. This was what Jing Wei's struggling family faced in their dreams. The billowing black smoke choked their noses and mouths.
Countless soldiers fainted from the thick smoke and were burned to death in the city. There were also some who couldn't stand the pain and directly jumped off the building to survive, but they only chose a quick way to die. The raging fire raged in the darkness as if it wanted to rule everything.
Shi Wanbao's alcohol tolerance wasn't bad, and he still remained sober. He grabbed a soldier and jumped off the city gate tower. He pressed the soldier under his body to cushion the impact. After landing, Shi Wanbao only suffered some minor internal injuries. The soldiers followed suit. For a time, under the maliciousness of humans, the raging fire seemed to have brought people to hell. Everyone was killing each other, and only the strong could survive.
Perhaps humans were such dark creatures?
