On January 16, when King Jin learned that the southern expedition of Bingzhou was wiped out, he was shocked to summon all his trusted soldiers in Bingzhou to defend Jinyang and hurriedly asked for help from the Great Liao Empire. The defeat of King Jin's army also surprised Wu Shuchi, who was stationed in Lingshou Pass. You must know that the Bingzhou army under King Jin Ma Lin was no less combat power than the soldiers of the Liao Kingdom. How could it be defeated so quickly? This made Wu Shuchi very strange and puzzled.

In order to protect King Ma Lin of Jin, Wu Shuchi led his army to Jinyang immediately.

Not long after a few days, the Liao general Wushu Chisou led a large army of Liao, and in the area of ​​Shangshan County, Bingzhou, encountered a large army of Xie Xuansu led to suppress the rebellion. A fierce battle broke out between the two sides.

Xie Xuan personally led the main force of the left and right Baotao Guards to face the Liao army head-on. Yue Yun, the general of the left and right Baotao Guards, led the control of the He army, Niu Gao, the general of the right Baotao Guards, led the Xiaoguo Army to the left and right wings, and launched a joint attack on the Liao army north and south.

The Liao army led by Wu Shuchi was rescued from a long distance, and the long-distance marching resulted in the fatigue of soldiers, the lack of people and horses, and the morale of the army was unstable. They could not resist the attacks of Xie Xuan's elite army. After a bloody battle for a long time, they were defeated and tens of thousands of Liao soldiers were killed.

The next day, Wu Shuchi's army fought again, but was defeated again. Wu Shuchi led the remaining people to flee in a hurry and set up camp on Wulin Mountain under Jinyang City, Bingzhou.

Wu Shuchi made a fatal mistake. The Liao Dynasty was located on the grassland, with few trees and no understanding of the dangers of mountains and forests. Sure enough, Xie Xuan observed the Liao army's camping place from afar, and immediately smiled, and decided to set fire to the mountains.

Late at night on the eighth day of the second month of the third year of Shenwu in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the stars and moon were gone. Xie Xuan quietly sent thousands of elite soldiers to secretly march with tincture oil to the Liao army camp and suddenly threw tincture oil around the Liao army camp. For a moment, the fires of the Liao army camp soared into the sky. In addition, the mountains and forests were dry and the fire could not be extinguished. The Liao army camp wanted to run away, but the losses were heavy and countless soldiers were burned to death.

In this battle, Wu Shuchi was completely defeated and had no power to resist. He led a few remaining Liao troops to flee back to the territory of Liao.

The night was dark, and the sky above Wulin Mountain in the distance in Jinyang City was reddened by the raging fire, which also disturbed the thoughts of the people in Jinyang City.

The palace in Jinyang City was in chaos, and the eunuchs and palace maids ran around in panic. Even the guards of the palace had no intention of being on duty seriously. They were all depressed and had no morale.

Plop...

From time to time, I would see someone jumping into Jinyang Lake in the palace. The concubines of the King of Jin were jumping into the water and dying, and the sad crying sounds came one after another.

Rebellion is a serious crime of raiding the family and extermination. Now that the army is defeated, it is better to commit suicide than to be caught and humiliated in the end. Ma Lin is already in a state of despair and has no illusions, so she did not stop the concubines from committing suicide. She even felt a little comfort in her depression, thinking that this should be the case!

Among the water pavilions beside the Jinyang Lake of the royal palace, candles were brightly lit. Several palace maids and eunuchs with panic expressions stood with their heads down, and sad crying outside came one after another.

Princess Wang of Jin was dressed neatly under the service of her close maid, tied up her hair bun and applied thin powder. The woman in her forty years is still so beautiful, with bright eyes and white teeth, and her eyebrows and eyes as picturesque.

Princess Jin walked to the window and sat down, with a calm expression. She stared out the window for a long time before she sighed and a crystal tears rolled down, followed by several more drops.

Since she discovered that her husband was treacherous, Wang advised him many times. Unfortunately, her husband did not listen at all and was furious. Wang could have tears in his eyes for this.

However, as a woman, what else can she do besides admonishing her? Now that her husband has failed to rebel, the whole family will be killed, and the Wang family will be implicated. Instead of waiting for the verdict of fate, it is better to die decently now...

The maid stood behind Wang, and tears couldn't help but slid down. She knew very well what was about to happen. The crying sounds outside were all the maids and maids saying goodbye to their master.

Mrs. Wang stood up gently, moved a small stool to the window and put it down.

"Princess!" the maid cried out in sorrow.

Wang looked back at the maid and sighed: "Girl, you should have married long ago. I was so soft-hearted that I delayed you, and now I have harmed you."

The maid said with tears in her eyes: "Princess, don't say that, I just don't want to marry. As long as the princess doesn't dislike me, I'm willing to serve the princess for the rest of her life, whether it's life or death!"

Wang sighed lightly: "Oh, you silly girl, from today on, you don't have to serve me anymore, live well.

After saying that, Wang stood on the stool and jumped from the water pavilion into Jinyang Lake without hesitation...

"Princess!" The maid ran to the window with a cry of grief. Several palace maids and eunuchs behind him fell to the ground, and the crying sounded.

After a little leaning, Ning Wang Ma Lin, who received the news, stumbled in, shouted at her beloved concubine, and ran to the window to cry in tears. He loved this beautiful and talented Yuanmai wife from the bottom of his heart, and of course he obviously loved the emperor's throne more.

Ma Lin sighed and said sadly: "I regret not listening to my wife's words, ma'am! I'm sorry for you for your husband!"

The palace maids and eunuchs knelt down and cried in silence, and their crying was shocking. Wang had always been loved by the royal family. Now he committed suicide by jumping into the lake, and all the palace servants cried bitterly.

...

On the ninth day of the second month of the third year of Shenwu in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Xie Xuan led the army of Leopard and Tao Guard to break through Jinyang City with lightning speed. Ma Lin and his sons were caught off guard and all of their trusted ministers were captured in one shot.

In order to avoid being captured and humiliated, the concubines of the King of Jin resolutely chose to commit suicide by jumping into the lake, while the men who took the lead in rebellion chose to live a life of silence and eventually surrendered. I have to say that this is really a great irony!

On the ninth day of the second month, the King of Jin and a group of backbones were captured, proclaiming that the rebellion in Bingzhou was completely quelled. From the time King of Jin started his army to the ninth day of the second month, the rebellion lasted less than two months and was quickly quelled by Xie Xuan.

February is the world's beauty.

In a blink of an eye, it was early spring, and the weather gradually became warmer. The streets of Jinyang City were pedestrians and shops, which seemed to have returned to its former prosperity.

However, this is just a superficial phenomenon. The trauma brought to the people of Bingzhou by this rebellion is far from recovering. The war directly caused more than tens of thousands of casualties. I don’t know how many families are fragmented, and I don’t know how many people are displaced because of this...

As the saying goes, the plan for the year lies in spring. The farming society that relies on the weather for food cannot be compensated for the missed farming season. This year, the people of Bingzhou are destined to tighten their belts and endure hard.

In addition, the execution of the rebellion case of King Jin continues. Almost every few days, someone will be arrested. The major prison cells in Jinyang City are already overcrowded. This is the result of Xie Xuan's expansion of restrictions. If you really need to investigate and investigate thoroughly, I am afraid that more people will be implicated.

These days, Xie Xuanguang has been busy preparing the prison cart, because there are as many as a hundred prisoners from the Jin King's lineage, not to mention the families of the backbone of the criminals under the King of Jin, it is easy to imagine how many prison carts they have to prepare, so County Magistrate Xu was so busy these days.
