Zhong Heng thought that heaven to oneself very unfair, after giving him each time a benefit, always before he understands the true advantage robs crudely. 钟衡觉得老天对自己十分不公,每次给他一点甜头之后,总是在他领略到真正的好处之前粗暴地抢夺回去。 His the official career in Central Plains is not smooth, enlists for many years, the small achievement all does not have, spends much money, seeks a lesser official in Ministry of War with great difficulty, in the result any one month, was appointed Western Region, said that is the informed and experienced several years, returns is appointed to another post toward later, is actually no different is sent to frontier service. 还在中原的时候他的仕途就不顺利,入伍多年,寸功皆无,花掉许多钱,好不容易才在兵部谋得一个小官,结果上任一个月,就被指派到西域,说是历练几年,回朝之后另有任用,其实无异于发配。 In name he has been promoted, from six product Yuewei five, is in the dangerous world of Jade City such good and bad people mixed up, patrolling city Wei has position but not power, the duty of most core is the protection supervises the personal safety of city officer, do not have much difference with the male servant. 名义上他升职了,从六品越为五品,可是在璧玉城那样一个鱼龙混杂的险恶世界里,巡城都尉有职无权,最核心的任务就是保护督城官的个人安全,跟家丁没有多大区别。 When supervises city officer tenure in office ended can attain large amount „safe symbol”, but he, receives the bribe the opportunity not to have many continually. 督城官任期结束时能拿到巨额的“平安符”,而他,连收受贿赂的机会都没有多少。 Saw that north city rich man Wanamiki countless enjoyments everywhere, does not have money is an extremely painful matter, is just like the beggar partition window that the force is big and hungry to wait and see the guest in restaurant to eat and drink extravagantly. 眼看着北城遍地的有钱人和南城数不尽的享受,没有钱是一件极为痛苦的事情,好比强迫饥肠辘辘的乞丐隔窗观望酒楼里的客人大吃大喝。 In suffering that in this type cannot throw off every time, Zhong Heng produces the nihility the attitude towards life: Loyal Monarch? His emperor has stepped on land has not been seeing \; Patriotic? Central Plains beyond several thousand li (0.5 km), will fall to supervise the city officer's hand in all benefits that Jade City wins obliquely, is of no concern to with the country \; Ideal? The Zhong Heng only hope was submerged by gold and silver, even if shortens one's lifespan for ten years to be also worth. 就是在这种每时每刻都甩不掉的煎熬中,钟衡生发出虚无的人生态度:忠君？他连皇帝踩过的土地都没见着过\;爱国？中原远在数千里之外,在璧玉城争得的一切利益都会拐弯抹角地落入督城官之手,与国家无涉\;理想？钟衡唯一的希望就是被金银淹没,哪怕损寿十年也值得。 Then that the strange youngster who called Servant Huan appeared. 然后那个叫欢奴的奇怪少年出现了。 When first meeting two people have almost not spoken, but experienced Zhong Heng saw immediately the specialness of youngster comes, in the Servant Huan name has one „slave” character, when the body was still actually surviving some sumptuous lifestyle proud temperament. 初次见面时两人几乎没说过话,可老练的钟衡马上就看出少年的特别来,欢奴名字里有一个“奴”字,身上却仍然残存着某种锦衣玉食时的骄傲气质。 In Western Region, by richly is changed poor, by expensive transfers inexpensively is the sloppy ordinary matter, prince princesses have reduces for the slave the time, is after the Golden Roc Castle inhuman severe training, totally has not accepted unexpectedly the status of lackey, this matter may be rarely seen. 在西域,由富变穷、由贵转贱是稀松平常的事,王子公主都有沦落为奴的时候,可是经过金鹏堡非人的严酷训练,竟然还没有完全接受奴才的身份,这种事可不多见。 When Servant Huan accepts patrolling city Wei „discovery truth with solving the problem is two matters” when the rigid theorizing, successfully as well as the Xu sister and brother extricates from the murder case, Zhong Heng even more thought that this youngster is not simple, but also thinks. 当欢奴接受巡城都尉“发现真相与解决问题是两码事”的说教,成功将自己以及许家姐弟从杀人案中解脱出来时,钟衡越发觉得这名少年不简单,但也只是想想而已。 What Servant Huan does not know, his then behavior gave patrolling city Wei Jida encouragement, this was the first time, some people recognized the opinion of this five lesser official, Zhong Heng martial arts was ordinary, the literary talent did not have, only what was proud was sharp-eyed judges accurate, may on the government, this not be the merit, but was the dreadful shortcoming, the boss never trusted him, always looks for the excuse his to most surrounding. 欢奴不知道的是,他当时的行为给予巡城都尉极大的鼓励,这是第一次,有人赏识这名五品小官的见解,钟衡武功一般,文采全无,唯一引以为傲的是目光敏锐判断精准,可在官场上,这不是优点,而是让人害怕的缺点,上司从来不信任他,总是找借口把他支到最外围。 A side is patrolling city Wei who to reach middle-age still to accomplish nothing, a side is to endure humiliation the youngster of waiting revenging good opportunity, two people destinies have twined since then in together, from time to time parallel, from time to time separates. 一方是人到中年仍无所作为的巡城都尉,一方是忍辱负重等待报仇良机的少年,两人的命运从那时起就已经缠绕在一起,时而并行,时而分离。 Many years later, Servant Huan became Dragon King, Zhong Heng with the aid of his strength, one becomes Shi Guo Prime Minister, no matter this is the how small and weak country, is a major turn in life. 多年以后,欢奴已经成为龙王,钟衡借助他的力量,一越而成为石国丞相,不管这是多么弱小的国家,也算是人生中的一次重大转折。 The heaven is that unfair, does not wait for Zhong Heng to taste to the Prime Minister real flavor, Shi Guo is invaded, the territory falls to the enemy mostly, only the remaining capital cities reluctantly support. 老天还是那么不公,不等钟衡品尝到丞相的真实味道,石国遭到入侵,多半领土沦陷,只剩下都城勉强支撑。 This time, Zhong Heng does not plan to submit, he does not know that in the future will have such opportunity, this time, he grips tightly in any case importantly in the hand, dies does not loosen. 这一次,钟衡不打算屈服,他不知道未来还有没有这样的机会,反正这一次,他要紧紧握在手里,死也不松开。 When Dragon King leaves Shi Guo goes to rescue the Great Snow Mountain army, once promised for two months later will lead the reinforcement to come back, the Zhong Heng judgment told him, even if Dragon King returned on time, small Shi Guo was still not enough to resist with the formidable enemy, therefore he takes steps to plan immediately long-term. 龙王离开石国前去解救大雪山军队时,曾许诺说两个月之后就会带着救兵回来,钟衡的判断力却告诉他,即使龙王按时回归,小小的石国仍然不足以与强大的敌人对抗,所以他立刻着手进行长远打算。 This time Shi Guo shape with the loose sand, original Prime Minister Yang Dou was chased chaotic, the army only remaining several hundred people, the common people jittery, filled to new Prime Minister did not trust, the king was weak, simpleminded, the only enthusiasm was every morning accepts the court eunuches to worship meticulously. 这时的石国混乱不堪形同散沙,原丞相杨兜被逐,军队只剩下数百人,百姓惊慌不安,对新任丞相充满了不信任,国王体弱多病,头脑简单,唯一的热情就是每天早晨接受太监们一丝不苟的朝拜。 The Zhong Heng hand/subordinate only available strength is dozens Great Snow Mountain swordsmen, more than 200 standpoint fuzzy bandits and 400-500 Shi Guo soldiers who Bladesman Lin Xiaoshan leads. 钟衡手下唯一可用的力量是刀客林小山率领的几十名大雪山剑客、200多名立场模糊的匪盗和四五百名石国士兵。 Xiaoyao Lake four Country Allied armies arrived at border, leaves new Prime Minister time not many, Zhong Heng begins simultaneously to carry on several matters immediately: 逍遥海四国联军已经到达边境,留给新丞相的时间没有多少,钟衡立刻着手同时进行几件事: Gives up the national war, sending out in messenger's to recall the capital city border gate house garrison, gathers more than 200 soldiers reluctantly. 放弃全国战争,派出使者将边境哨所里的驻军全部召回都城,勉强又聚集200多名士兵。 Requests the Shi Guo common people in three day to move into the capital city, only brings the grain and gold and silver valuables, Prime Minister pledged, after the war ended, the land and house metropolis thing returning to rightful owner, other losses is compensated by the state treasury, finally this point touches the indecisive common people, everybody noisy crowd floods into the capital city. 要求石国百姓三日之内迁入都城,只带粮食与金银细软,丞相承诺,战争结束之后,土地与房屋都会物归原主,其它损失由国库赔偿,最后这一点打动许多犹豫不决的百姓,大家一窝蜂地涌入都城。 Zhong Heng also finds the time to be on intimate terms with that group of robbers and bandits, according to the Jianghu custom contact, quick discovers the truth, these people go for shelter-- or frightened-- the person is not Dragon King, but side Dragon King female guard He Nu, this fear is formidable, supports the certain extent sufficiently the loyalty. 钟衡还抽出时间与那群盗匪称兄道弟,按江湖规矩交往,很快就发现真相,这些人投奔——或者说恐惧——的人不是龙王,而龙王身边的女护卫荷女,这种恐惧非常强大,足以支撑起一定程度的忠诚。 The same day that Dragon King leaves, Zhong Heng confiscated the old Prime Minister Yang Dou family property, the number is not small, even surpasses the Shi Guo state treasury, this money Zhong Heng has not delivered, but is used to hire the artisan to patch the city wall, recruiting the young farmer who enters a city to become a soldier. 龙王离开的当天,钟衡抄没了旧丞相杨兜的家产,数目不小,甚至超出石国国库,这笔钱钟衡没有上交,而是用来雇佣工匠修补城墙,招募进城的年青农民当兵。 The most urgent commodity or the grain, do not have food, the formidable army cannot defend the city. 最紧迫的物资还是粮食,没有食物,再强大的军队也守不住城池。 The war, the Shi Guo official grain reserves are suddenly few, Zhong Heng adopts the soft and hard two methods, on the one hand spends the high price to buy the grain from the common people hand, on the other hand forces the wealthy people and aristocrats hands over own grain in storage, finally makes the granary in country enrich. 战争突如其来,石国官方的粮食储备非常少,钟衡采取软硬两种手段,一方面花高价从普通百姓手中买走粮食,另一方面强迫富户与贵族们交出自家的存粮,终于使得国家的粮仓充实起来。 This is Shi Guo can defend one of the capital city most important reasons, merely three months later, the grain price soared, spending ten times of prices not to have the means to make the common people sell a grain of meter/rice. 这是石国能够守住都城最重要的原因之一,仅仅三个月之后,粮价飞涨,花十倍价格也没办法让百姓卖出一粒米了。 The gold and silver of Yang confiscating is quickly insufficient, Zhong Heng and king discussed twice, discovered definitely after is unable to convince the opposite party, simply bypasses the incompetent king, has taken over control of the state treasury and prince treasure house, then sends for usurping Meng in the Shi Guo company and money shop, obtains a sum of money. 从杨氏家中抄没的金银很快就不够用了,钟衡与国王商量了两次,发现完全无法说服对方之后,干脆绕过无能的国王,接管了国库与王家宝库,然后派人强占孟氏在石国的商号与钱庄,又取得一笔钱。 Even if this, wants to guard the capital city by less than 1000 soldiers, the duty that is also unable to complete, Zhong Heng makes all efforts, finally must depend upon the erroneous decision of enemy, can defend the small country that just succeeded in obtaining reluctantly. 即使这样,想要凭借不到1000名士兵守卫都城,也是无法完成的任务,钟衡做出一切努力,最后还是要依靠敌人的错误决策,才能勉强保住刚刚到手的小国。 The allied armies population that Xiaoyao Lake Kang, secure, the benefit four countries form is 2000, is sent out General to direct by strength most formidable Kang Kingdom, Prince of the Kang Kingdom keeps in the army, has not entered the Shi Guo border, encounters the pursuit Prime Minister Yang Dou to run to go for shelter. 逍遥海康、安、沙、惠四国组建的联军人数为2000,由实力最强大的康国派出一名将军指挥,康国王子留在军中,尚未进入石国国境,遭到驱逐的丞相杨兜就跑来投奔。 Is these three people, has the major difference in the military strategy. 就是这三个人,在军事策略上发生重大分歧。 The General sleep/felt goes well the military strength to be too few, not the suitable storm capital city, hopes to invite the war in the border, both sides according to the traditional mode confrontation, at the same time, said that gives King Shi Guo to give favored treatment, retains his throne, supervises Shi Guo to surrender by this as soon as possible. 将军觉得手中的兵力太少,不宜强攻都城,希望就在边境邀战,双方按传统模式对阵,与此同时,放话给予石国国王优待,保留他的王位,以此督促石国尽快投降。 Yang Dou fills with the hatred, Shi Guo does not belong to the royal family, but is the private property of Yang, now is robbed forcefully, he must rob reckless, for this reason the rivers of blood also refuse to balk, he makes all sorts of attractive promises, claimed that the Shi Guo common people already lost to the loyalty of royal family, in the city also wants many supporters of Yang, so long as four Country Allied armies set out fast, does not need to fight, some people will open the city gate. 杨兜满怀恨意,石国不属于王室,而是杨氏的私产,如今被人硬生生抢走,他要不顾一切地抢夺回来,为此血流成河也在所不惜,他做出种种诱人的许诺,声称石国百姓早已失去对王室的忠诚,城内还要许多杨氏的支持者,只要四国联军快速进发,无需战斗,就会有人打开城门。 Prince of the Kang Kingdom still never forgot to Princess Shi Guo, he does not want to transmit Shi Guo to going into exile in Prime Minister Yang Dou . Moreover the stone and Kang Liangguo border on, seizes the land much, can force the Shi Guo change idea, the princess will marry him, but can also expand the Kang Kingdom influence. 康国王子仍对石国公主念念不忘,他可不想将石国转交给流亡丞相杨兜,而且石、康两国接壤,多多抢占土地,既能强迫石国改变主意,将公主嫁给他,还能扩大康国的势力。 Three people argued long time, therefore lost the attack the best opportunity, the final conclusion fanned out in two groups, attacked the capital city, seized regional small towns. 三人争论多日,因此丧失进攻的最佳时机,最后的结论是兵分两路,一路进攻都城,一路抢占各地市镇。 The result showed, this is wrong cannot the wrong decision-making. 结果证明,这是错得不能再错的决策。 The troops go forward to arrive to the capital city more than 30 li (0.5 km) places, the news of let their accident/surprise, Stone Kingdom's capital not only has not opened the city gate to greet the army, instead is ready in full battle array, the defense military strength increases day by day, reached more than 1000, is equally matched with the attack side. 第一路人马前进到离都城30余里的地方,得到让他们意外的消息,石国都城不仅没有敞开城门迎接大军,反而严阵以待,守城兵力与日俱增,已经达1000多,与进攻方不相上下。 Yang Dou is greatly disappointed, therefore writes dozens letters personally, summoned that the supporters of Yang go into action, then takes advantage in the night injection city by the archer. 杨兜大失所望,于是亲手写下几十封信,号召杨家的支持者们行动起来,然后由弓箭手趁夜射入城内。 As the reply, next morning, in the city ejects several heads, has the Yang juniors, there is a Yang supporter of recognition. 作为回答,次日一早,城里抛出十几颗头颅,有杨氏子弟,也有公认的杨氏支持者。 Status of Yang Dou in allied armies drops immediately dispensably. 杨兜在联军中的地位立刻下降到可有可无。 In addition the troops seize and occupy the land in Shi Guo, discovered various small town void nobody, only remaining houses with not being able to carry off when the heavy item, plunders less than the wealth, is indignant, therefore sets on fire to burn down all constructions that on the road met. 另一路人马在石国境内圈占土地,发现各处市镇空虚无人,只剩下房屋与带不走的重物,搜刮不到金银财宝时,非常气愤,于是放火烧掉了路上所遇见的一切建筑。 The news passes to the capital city, has helped Zhong Heng busy, until now holds the attitude of wait and see Shi Guo common people, overnight gives birth to the heart of sharing a common hatred, nobody dares to make the suggestion of surrender again. 消息传到都城,帮了钟衡一个大忙,迄今为止持观望态度的石国百姓,一夜之间生出同仇敌忾之心,再也没人敢提投降的建议了。 As a result of the strength quite, many people even hope to go out of town the decisive battle, routs the intruder at one fell swoop. 由于实力相当,许多人甚至希望出城决战,一举击溃入侵者。 Zhong Heng is maintaining sober, knows stone ** although the team population grows, battle efficiency actually not high, the battle odds of success is not rashly big, once lost a battle, immediately defending a city to suppress the valley warmly, will therefore resist opposition, cannot persevere. 钟衡保持着清醒,知道石**队人数虽然增长,战斗力却没有多高,贸然开战胜算不大,一旦打了败仗,立刻就会将守城热情打压到谷底,因此力排众议,坚守不出。 Waited to have one month fully, the allied armies person from a different world horse convergence, discovered that Shi Guo has not surrendered really the meaning, initiated the siege warfare. 等了足有一个月,联军两路人马汇合,发现石国真的没有投降之意,才发起攻城战。 The besieged city fights one dozen is over six months. 围城战一打就是半年多。 The news that Dragon King and Great Snow Mountain are annihilated comes, almost beats Shi Guo, Zhong Heng actually kills does not believe, decides to stake everything on a single throw of the dice, his firmness touched many people marvelously, entire Western Region, only then the people in this flake area, still sincerely believed Dragon King not dead, is gathering a more formidable military strength, will frequently come back to rescue Shi Guo. 龙王与大雪山全军覆没的消息传来,几乎将石国击垮,钟衡却打死也不相信,决定孤注一掷,他的坚定奇迹般地打动了许多人,整个西域,就只有这一小片地区的人民,仍然笃信龙王没死,正在聚集更强大的兵力,时刻都会回来解救石国。 In this period certain times, the allied armies had the meaning of repulsing the enemy, is Golden Roc Castle in Western Region with irresistible force, the progress quick surpassed the anticipation of all people, the Xiaoyao Lake four countries were the Supreme King allies, shortly after the drop was the dependency, finally degenerated into the retinue, was in imminent danger including the nominal independence. 期间若干次,联军都有退兵之意,可是金鹏堡在西域势如破竹,进展之快超出所有人的意料,逍遥海四国本是独步王的盟友,没多久就下降为附庸,最后沦为仆从,连名义上的独立都岌岌可危。 Now, the allied armies no longer gain the benefit for own country, but goes to war for Supreme King, this makes the morale of investor more and more low, actually does not dare to easily speak Ba battle. 现在,联军不再是为本国争取利益,而是替独步王打仗,这让围攻者的士气越来越低,却又不敢轻言罢战。 The day in city does not feel better, the time that the war continues is too long, lacks the clothes little to use, the grain the quota distribution, can only maintain half every day full, the morale of soldiers and civilians falls into the valley similarly, all closes right up against the Prime Minister strong wrist/skill, nobody dares to surrender. 城里的日子也不好过,战争持续的时间过长,缺衣少用,粮食每日定量分发,只能维持半饱,军民的士气同样跌到谷底,全靠着丞相的强硬手腕,才没人敢投降。 Several months later, the new command arrival of Supreme King designation, commandeers more soldiers from four countries, continuously launches the large-scale attack. 几个月之后,独步王指派的新统帅到来,从四国征发更多的士兵,连续发起大规模的进攻。 Defends a city more comes difficultly, Zhong Heng , the heart lives to hesitate, thought that Shi Guo could not insist how long, but Dragon King, did not die, will be forever will again not return to Western Region. 守城越来艰难,就连钟衡,也不禁心生犹疑,觉得石国已经坚持不了多久,而龙王,不是死了,就是永远也不会再返西域。 At this time, the new commanders of four Country Allied armies sent the envoy to send a letter, by the unprecedented friendly stance, praised Prime Minister Zhong and tenacity of Shi Guo common people, then put forward the generous natural condition, so long as opened the city gate surrender, Shi Guo can still maintain the independence, the Zhong Heng Prime Minister position will also obtain the vigorous safeguard of Golden Roc Castle, the common people can return to the old home, not by any penalty. 就在这个时候,四国联军的新统帅派使者送来一封信,以前所未有的友善姿态,赞扬钟丞相与石国百姓的坚忍不拔,然后提出慷慨大方的条件,只要打开城门投降,石国仍能保持独立,钟衡的丞相位置也将得到金鹏堡的大力保障,百姓可以返回旧居,不受任何惩罚。 To the king, to Prime Minister, in the common people to city, this is the rare conditions, after the content of this letter „” was been accidentally public by allied armies envoy, the call of surrender surges upward suddenly, Zhong Heng prepares the feeling pressure, has to agree to conduct regular negotiations. 对国王,对丞相,对城里的百姓,这都是难得的条件,当这封信的内容被联军使者“无意中”公开以后,投降的呼声骤然高涨,钟衡备感压力,不得不同意进行一次正规的谈判。 At this time, Dragon King commands the army to enter the Xiaoyao Lake news by Osan, outside the allied armies by city was being blocked strictly. 此时,龙王率军由乌山进入逍遥海的消息,正被城外的联军严格封锁。 ( Sought collection to seek recommendation) （求收藏求推荐）
