Chapter 111: Nothing is lost in this world anymore

In Haixi City.

On top of the city wall, countless soldiers were on alert, looking at the continuous camps three miles away. Among the tiled camps, there were also many soldiers standing on the watchtowers, using the watchtowers that were slightly higher than the city wall to peer into Haixi City.

An old man was sitting in a wheelchair, being pushed by Jiao Li. He was walking slowly on top of the city.

The wheelchair Zhu Qizhen made for the Empress Dowager has now become popular in the officialdom. It is precisely because the superiors have good ideas and the subordinates must follow them.

At first it was called the Queen Mother Chair, but later it was also called the Queen Mother Chair because most of the people sitting on it were old women and old ladies from various families.

And the old man sitting on this chair is Yi Shiha.

At this moment, Yi Shiha seemed to be in good spirits and was greeting the civilians and soldiers at the city head.

Not only Daxi City, but Yi Shiha built it hand by hand, and everyone is very familiar with these people.

When everyone saw Yishiha, they all patted their chests to Yishiha and said, "Please rest assured, father-in-law, and recover. As long as we are here, the Tatars will not be able to attack Haixi City."

One by one, they were vying to confirm their votes in front of Yi Shiha.

But it is also because in the past period of time, the Tatars have built a long siege, seeming to block Haixi City. It seems that they have no intention of attacking the city.

Now we are trapped in a weird sit-down war.

However, there is absolutely no problem with the food and grass in Haixi City until next year. Most of the soldiers in Haixi City are used to this kind of sit-down fighting.

"Sir, the Tatars have withdrawn many troops in succession. It seems that they are sending troops to Liaodong. The general thought that we should take advantage of this moment to leave the city, break the siege in one fell swoop, and defeat the Tatars in a flanking attack with Liaodong Town." Shi Heng said.

He was so excited that he even danced and slammed his hands together, as if what he was hitting was not his palms, but the hundreds of thousands of troops outside.

Jiao Li also knew Shi Heng's opinion. Shi Heng had asked for battle many times.

Now Shi Heng has tens of thousands of Jurchen soldiers under his command. Most of them have a deep-rooted hatred for Wa Ci and want to take revenge wholeheartedly.

It can be said that the most victorious army in the city was Shi Heng's army.

Jiao Li had already painstakingly explained to Shi Heng that the reason for not going to war was the strategic significance of Haixi Town.

Now what Haixi Town wants is to persevere and persevere for a long time. Victory in one or two battles is not important to Haixi Town.

Save your strength and hold on.

Shi Heng may not be ignorant of this truth. But he knows one thing more, that is, in line with the military's will, most of the Jurchen army is bent on fighting.

If Shi Heng, as the commander-in-chief, was suppressed, he would lose the morale of the soldiers. Therefore, he also assumed the attitude of leading the battle. As for whether the superiors agreed or not, it was not Shi Heng who had the final say.

So whenever Shi Heng got a chance, he would jump out and say something like this.

Of course, his behavior was not fruitless, and the gain was that most of the Jurchen soldiers were loyal to Shi Heng and became Shi Heng's loyal supporters.

Yi Shiha said: "General Shi, I know your desire for war, but you have to know that it is of no use to fight in a small way now. Recharge your batteries and I will give you a chance to break the thorn."

Shi Heng said: "I will thank my father-in-law at last."

Jiao Li felt that Yi Shiha's body was trembling slightly, and immediately said: "It's windy in the city. Father-in-law, it's better to go back home."

"Okay." Yi Shiha said.

It just seems that this sentence is extremely difficult to say.

Jiao Li pushed Yishiha back to the Haixi Dusi Mansion. But after a short journey, Yishiha seemed to be unable to hold on. When he returned to the room, he was immediately carried to bed by Shi Tie'er.

The imperial doctor immediately used the needle for Yishiha. After a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sir, if you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. My father-in-law is no longer alive. I can only ask him to explain a few words."

The imperial physician packed up his things very wisely and left the room.

Jiao Li had always known about Yi Shiha's condition, and now he felt helpless.

Yi Shiha's illness has been lingering for a long time, but now he is also short of medicine.

Although the medicine used for Yishiha's disease is not very precious, some nourishing things such as ginseng and bird's nest are indispensable. However, Haixi Town, which has been besieged for several months, can still maintain the food supply for the army. However, many medicinal materials are

Starting to get anxious.

There are special hoardings for general trauma medicines. However, there are not many hoardings for general medicinal materials.

And Yi Shiha's prescription also changed every day, and was considered every day. No matter how clever the imperial doctor's methods were, without enough medicinal materials, Yi Shiha could not be saved.

And Yi Shiha also understood this, so at the last moment of his life, he made one last patrol of the city to let everyone know that he was still there.

Stabilize people's hearts.

However, all this hard work took away the last of Yi Shiha's energy and energy, and his condition got out of hand.

"Jiao Li." Yishi said in a voice like a gossamer: "I can rest assured that Haixi will be left to you. It's just that my adopted son has been with me for so many years, so I have to give him a good future."

Jiao Li said: "General Shi is a brave general. Now is the time to use force. Your Majesty cannot do without his benefits. Please rest assured, father-in-law, everyone from the top to the bottom of the Liaodong Army will help you."

Yishiha said: "When I die, don't mourn me. Just lay my body in this courtyard. When the battle is won, I will be buried."

"Don't go back to Beijing. I have more than 10,000 taels of savings. I will just find a geomantic treasure place nearby, build a pagoda, bury me behind the mountain, and ask the monks to help me to be saved."

This is actually a routine used by eunuchs.

Many eunuchs are keen on building temples in order to pray for a good future life. Even the cemetery prepared by Yi Shiha in Beijing is also in a temple.

"You will eventually understand," Jiao Li said.

When Yi Shiha said this, the look in his eyes faded away, and he said in a lower, almost inaudible voice: "There are three kinds of unfilial piety, the greatest is not having children. When we meet under the spring, father and mother will return."

Do you forgive me? In my life, I have killed countless people and died because of me. What is hell like? Can building a pagoda really atone for my sins?"

Yishiha's voice became lower and lower, making it difficult to hear clearly. He could only occasionally hear a few words clearly, and it became illogical.

Suddenly Yi Shiha's head tilted.

Jiao Li probed gently and found that he could only breathe out but not in.

Yishuha, this eunuch who had spent his entire life in Nuergandusi, finally died on the land he worked so hard for.

Jiao Li stepped back a few steps, paid homage, and bowed his head several times. He said to Shi Dai'er, "You have listened to what my father-in-law said. This matter can only be done according to my father-in-law's wishes."

Shi Daier had already burst into tears, he knew the current situation.

Haixi City seems safe, but after all, anything can happen in a war. What Yi Shiha explained is the best way.

Let everyone in the city think that Yi Shiha is still alive.

Shi Daier couldn't even cry at this moment.

Shi Daier was brought up by Yi Shiha. Although they were adopted father and son, there was no difference between him and his biological father and son. At this moment, tears were already streaming down his face, but he still gritted his teeth and did not utter a cry, for fear that others would hear him and break his heart.

He said about his adoptive father's plan: "I will eventually understand."

Jiao Li sighed and left here.

Yi Shiha's death was kept secret like this. The small courtyard where Yi Shiha was recuperating had always been a restricted area, and no one else was allowed to enter.

Now the blockade is just tighter.

Even three meals a day were brought in normally by the nurse.

It's just that they were all given extra meals by Shi.

There was no flaw in all this. No one knew that Yi Shiha was no longer around. Most of them just knew that Yi Shiha was ill and bedridden.

And Yi Shiha has been in poor health in the past few years, and the people in the city have become accustomed to this. There is no doubt about it.

People who are really in the core decision-making circle may have doubts, but they also know what to say and what not to say.

In Haixi City, everything has calmed down.

But in the Wasi camp outside Haixi City, the situation turned bad.

The troops were sent out in late spring and have been fighting until now, almost in autumn.

After several months of fighting, coupled with the bloody blows they suffered in front of Cao Yi, many tribes could no longer hold on. If Haixi City could not be captured, could it be that the siege would continue for a long time?
