Zhang Ji rode back to Weizhou quickly, and at the same time thought crankily on the horse.

He didn't know that Wu Hao's so-called two days meant tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, Wu Hao didn't say, he didn't dare to ask more, this is a super smart person, if you ask too much, you will inevitably lose. I'm thinking about last year again. He was not a prisoner of war, but the son of a chieftain of a small tribe on the border, whose family had had a good affection for the Song dynasty from the time of his grandfather. The army of the Song Dynasty crossed the Xiangyikou, and all the 100 accounts of the clan defected to the Song Dynasty.

Soon after, he and his brother were personally selected by Zheng Lang to enter the ranks of prisoners of war as prisoners of war. At the time, I was puzzled, but now many doubts have finally come to mind. If the enemy wants to rebel, he must choose some people with status, such as Wei Mingwei, Pan Yuan himself is very close to Weizhou. He has become Wei Mingwei's cronies, and he knows the enemy's every move.

This little minister thinks so long-term, which makes him admire it very much, but Weizhou is in a hurry, which makes him faintly feel ...... I didn't dare to think deeply.

I don't know how the Song Dynasty's forces were distributed, but I only know that many things in the front and rear are intertwined, which is very complicated. He didn't know many people, and he almost always maintained one-line contact with Qin Nian. Perhaps Di Qing and Zhang Qi can know about the huge plans of the Song Dynasty. But where is their army?

The more he thought about it, the more worried he became, so he returned to Weizhou City and immediately found Qin Nian.

The two came to a teahouse, and the others saw them and didn't think of anything else. These people all belong to the party, they are gambling friends, plus scoop friends, drinking tea, it's nothing.

Zhang Zheng told the situation.

Qin Nian knew better.

Hearing this, his face turned purple, what kind of troops did Weizhou City have?

The Tangut people suddenly led their army south to Weizhou, which was also unexpected. These immigrants and prisoners of war were motivated by their intention to start a rebellion, and then an army was brought from Qinzhou. In the face of regular troops, their riots will be quickly extinguished. In other words, some unstable factors on Jingyuan Road took the opportunity to remove all of them, and they played a role in luring the enemy.

He didn't know if Zheng Lang had arranged it. So he said to Zhang Zheng: "In this way, immediately eradicate all the annihilations in the city, and after the incident, I will go to report to the lady of the Prime Minister's family." ”

The two discussed for a while, and Zhang Zheng found Wei Mingwei and said: "Wei commands, Wu Shangshu tells you to go back immediately, the Great Xia army will soon enter the city of Weizhou, and it will cooperate to take the entire Jingyuan Road in one fell swoop." ”

"Great Xia's army is coming?"

"What Wu Shangshu said, I don't know the specifics. As for the affairs of the city, Wu Shangshu ordered them to be entrusted to me. ”

"What are you going to do when it's done?"

"When the Great Xia army came, we raised an incident to cause chaos in the city and took the opportunity to enter the city. Fame and wealth, in one fell swoop. ”

"Okay, I'll give them to you." Wei Mingwei said happily, what kind of fame and wealth, these two boys are crazy, with this hundred or so numbers, what kind of wind and waves can be turned up in Weizhou City, it is self-defeating, let's leave Weizhou City quickly. So he handed over his subordinates to the Zhang Yi brothers, and quickly took three of his men out of the city.

Not long after leaving the city, on a secluded mountain road, I met Qin Nian patrolling with a few people.

Qin Nian stopped him and asked, "Brother Weiming, where are you going?" ”

"I'll go back to the village, and I have some things to arrange."

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry," Qin Nian had already walked over.

The four of them had to dismount, and Qin Nian came to him and grabbed him.

"Qin Dutou, why do you use so much strength," Wei Mingwei made Qin Nian scratch the pain.

"Arrest people, of course the strength is great," Qin Nian said with a smile, and several of his subordinates had already pounced and pressed Wei Mingwei's three subordinates to the ground, including Wei Mingwei himself, all of whom were tied up with ropes. For the time being, he did not escort them into the city, Qin Nian handed over the four of them to his subordinates to take care of, and quickly rode into the city.

The city is also changing.

The Zhang brothers secretly summoned the troops sent by Wei Mingwei into the city, and said to them: "We are going to do things soon, so as not to let the Song army be suspicious, I have found a house, and you will go first to rest for two days." ”

Take them into a house.

After Zhang Capture counted the number of people, Qin Nian also entered the city. With the siege of this house with troops, it was all wiped out.

The sound of the fight alarmed the officials, and Yoon-so brought people over.

Qin Nian showed Zheng Lang's letter, briefly told the matter, and then handed over the prisoner to Yin Su, and took the Zhang brothers to Zheng's house.

handed over the famous sticker and Zheng Lang's letter, at this time it was twilight, Cui Xian and Jiang Xing'er were eating, after seeing the letter, Cui Xian had never seen Qin Nian, even if she did, she didn't expect it, but she knew that her husband had arranged these people. Not only Qin Nian and the Zhang brothers, but also three other people. So he summoned them into the house.

Qin Nian said the matter, and Yin Zhu said that it had no effect, he just came, and divided a lot of Weizhou troops, and he never knew the inside story.

Cui Xian's face was not very good when she heard this.

She also didn't know all of her husband's arrangements, but she knew most of them, knew that there were no troops left in Weizhou City, and she didn't expect that the Western Xia army would ignore the Song army in front of her and suddenly lead the army south. This is where the husband made a mistake in his plan, but he can't say it.

Strictly speaking, the husband has done a better job, and ninety percent of the trend is developing according to what the husband said, and even these arrangements have been secretly implemented since a year ago, and other people don't need to think about this ability.

said to Qin Nian: "You come with me." ”

Regardless of evasion, he took them to find Yoon-so again, and told the truth what had happened.

Yin Zhu also received Di Qing's letter at this time, and was a little depressed when he heard it, and said, "Cui Niangzi, why didn't you tell me about the matter earlier, let me worry!" ”

"Needless to say, if the 30,000 troops of Western Xia don't go south, how can Weizhou defend? And things outside the city. ”

"Where are Qinzhou's troops?"

"It is estimated that it is at the southern foot of Dalong Mountain."

"So far?" Yin Su frowned, that is, at the junction of Qinzhou and Huating. It's a little far away, and the whip can't reach it.

"Take advantage of the enemy's future, immediately lead people to arrest all these people."

"How do they catch before they riot? Once arrested, even if it is a riot, it will sit on the mouth of the Tangut people, how to surrender to the Tangut tribes in the future? In this case, it is better to put all these prisoners of war to death last year, so why waste supplies? ”

"Cui Niangzi, what do you say! Could it be that after the invasion of the Tangut people, these people rebelled with them and made the Jingyuan Road erosive? "Yoon-so is so anxious about the tense situation that he has no master.

But at this time, Cui Xian calmed down.

She is a very assertive woman, she has had this assertiveness since she was a girl, and that time she went to Beijing with her three brothers to watch Zheng Lang, which was a manifestation of her assertiveness. Over the years, she has followed her husband, and after many big things, occasionally her husband has asked her what she thinks. This kind of assertiveness is growing more and more, but it is hidden by Zheng Lang's light, and outsiders don't know it. It is also a matter of women's morality, and it is not good for a woman to be too ostentatious in this era.

said: "Yin Tongju, don't worry, the other places are far away from Weizhou City, and the harm is not great, only Pan Yuan is close to Weizhou City." Once there is a riot and we are far away from each other, the situation will really erod. Wu Hao is in Panyuan, and he also has a reason to send troops to arrest him. First of all, Pan Yuan's rebel army was quickly suppressed. Send someone to inform Qinzhou's army and get them ready. Then he sent someone to inform General Di Qing, General Zhang Qi, and Zhang Zhizhou, and it seemed that the three of them knew the whole plan. The concubine doesn't really know much. ”

"What about Weizhou?"

"It is unlikely that the troops will be transferred back from the front line, and only Pan Yuan still has some troops that can be drawn. But it can't be pumped, in case the Tanguts attack Pan Yuan again. Deal with the affairs of Wu Hao and Pan Yuan first, and quickly bring the army back. Then send scouts to the front line to investigate, so that the people are ready to evacuate, so that the lives will not be destroyed. Many of these civilians are hunters, and once they flood into the city, they can only be mobilized to increase the city's defenses. ”

After speaking, Cui Xian went back.

She is a female streamer, and she can't participate too much, which is against etiquette.

Yin Zhu was stunned for a while, and as he stood up, he asked Qin Nian and the Zhang brothers to take five hundred men and horses, regardless of the arrival of night, and went straight to Panyuan City. But Wu Hao must be arrested, so that the arrest can be justified.

Qin Nian went out, and Yin Su was in a daze again.

Until now, I haven't thought it through. There were too many detours in the middle, and some of them he still didn't know, so he couldn't figure them out.

After a long while, he came to his senses, hurriedly wrote to Di Zhang and the others, and requisitioned troops to Qinzhou. Then he ordered the people around Weizhou to prepare to retreat to the city. It is a preparation, not an immediate retreat. Before getting the confirmatory news, Yoon so didn't dare to give this order.

There are too many people implicated, and the people in the south of Watingzhai have withdrawn to the south, or fled to the south, but further south, with Weizhou as the center, most of the people did not move, and there is Jingshui, along the Jingshui valley and Pingchuan, the people living are relatively dense. Once retreated, it will cause endless confusion.

One order after another was issued, and Yoon-so didn't sleep for a long time that night. On the other side, there was another fierce battle. Qin Nian hurried to Pan Yuan with a battalion of troops, on the way he couldn't figure it out, I heard that before the harvest came up, there were people who were so hungry that people ate people, although the news was exaggerated, but catching mice, digging wild vegetables, and eating tree bark often happened, why did so many people want to return to Western Xia? Zheng Xianggong treats them well.

That's a positive question.

Why did Yuan Hao want to ascend the throne as the emperor and support the country, it is precisely with the country name that there is cohesion and Zhengshuo. Otherwise, in the hearts of most of the people in Yinchuan and Qiang, they are still an outsider. Xia Yinsui in the north of Yanzhou is your old nest!

If it weren't for Zheng Lang seizing the opportunity, and Yuan Hao's perverse actions, Western Xia would gradually become as solid as a rock at this time.

Where did Qin Nian understand this, he only felt that these people were stupid.

When I arrived in Panyuan City, it was already three watches.

When Panyuan Wang Zhixian heard this, he was so frightened that his face was like dirt, in his jurisdiction, there were so many people who wanted to rebel, and he didn't know anything about it, and after the incident, he didn't want to wear this hat anymore. Qin Nian ignored his feelings and urgently consulted.

Wu Hao is not in Panyuan City, and he is not so bold, but in a ravine more than thirty miles southwest of Panyuan City. Pan Yuan is on the north side of Jingshui, and he is on the south side of Jingshui. Wei Mingwei was assigned to Pan Yuan, and some of his men, together with some people who were considered reliable, built a village in that ravine, which stood halfway up the mountainside, and the terrain was slightly treacherous. A simple wall was built one after another. It shows that he has not been at ease, the real Song Dynasty army is coming, what effect will this walled wall have?

But at this time, there were more than 100 tents in the village, nearly 400 people, more than 100 strong men, no standard weapons, but there were earthen bows and arrows, and some stones. If you attack by force, there will be casualties. So a plan was formulated. At dawn, the Zhang brothers came to this village with a few people, and the other people who guarded the village did not know, but knew the Zhang brothers, and opened the door of the village. After a bit of laughter, he asked who the Zhang brothers brought. Introductions were made, nonsense introductions.

Just as he was laughing, a person shouted: "It's Song Jun, Song Jun is here." ”

They were all ready to rebel, and when they saw Song Jun, they were all thieves and very scared. The Zhang brothers and a few soldiers of the Song Army in civilian clothes brought with them took out knives from their waists, raised their knives and fell, and hacked several people to death at the gate of the village. Song Jun poured in.

The Zhang brothers rushed into the village and went straight to a house in the middle, where Wu Hao lived, fortunately, Wu Hao heard that the Song army was coming, hurriedly dressed, and prepared to get on his horse and escape. Let Zhang Ji hold it down, and then bring him out.

With Wu Hao, this time to suppress the rebellion before they took action, there was righteousness and evidence.

Qin Nian was overjoyed. He didn't understand the meaning of catching Wu Hao, he only knew that Wu Hao was a big man in Western Xia, and he came up and kicked Wu Hao to the ground, haha. In a moment, all the rebels in this stockade will be captured or killed. Zhang Li continued to run with the Song army to other places, using this ravine as an axis, and many people agreed to join the rebellion. It was not until late evening that the battle was barely over. There are still fish that have slipped through the net, but there are not many of them, and they have lost their command and cannot turn over the storm. In addition, in the Chongxin Weishui Basin, the upper reaches of Longzhou Huangshui, and the Jingshui Liangyuan area, there were also people who participated in the rebellion one after another. There were not many people, only two or three thousand people in fragments.

However, the Zhang brothers didn't know, they only heard Wu Hao say that there would be seven or eight thousand people plotting rebellion, so there would be at least five or six thousand people in these places who would rebel at that time. There is no time to carry out the arrest, and the Zhang brothers do not know, unless Wu Hao confesses. But all the way to the present, Wu Hao gritted his teeth and didn't say anything, even if he had time, he couldn't arrest him. Fortunately, it is far away from Weizhou, and there is a buffer time. began to escort nearly 1,000 people, and rushed to Weizhou City.

At this time, Weizhou was already out of order.

Yin Zhu sent scouts to investigate, and the first batch of scouts brought back the news, and the Western Xia camp was still camped in the north of Wating Village and did not move. Yoon-so breathed a sigh of relief. Then news came from the direction of Pan Yuan, confirming that Wu Hao had been captured. Yoon-so hesitated again and again, and finally gave an order for the people to bring supplies into the city.

Otherwise, it will be too late.

If the Tangut people did not go south, and let the people rush into the city to take refuge, there would be a mistake for the ministers to impeach. But if the Tangut people went south and swept and slaughtered all the way, how many people would there be in this area? And I also got the news that I was more at fault. After weighing it again, it is better to let the people into the city first to avoid the war.

The Tangut people were not far away, and they were alerted again, and then they were notified, and all the people were panicked. Some disregarded their family property and rushed to the city of Weizhou with their children and daughters, or fled to the nearest county seat for refuge.

This area is densely populated, and with the migration of a group of people, the population has reached at least 50,000, and 30,000 or 40,000 people have poured into Weizhou City alone. The chaos can be imagined, and Yoon-so is very busy. And since it has been evacuated, the surname Suo must be evacuated cleanly, and let the people bring all the supplies with them, and they can't be thrown to the Western Xia people. This time, it's even more chaotic.

But Yin Zhu touched his chest with his hand in the state office, fortunately, he caught Wei Mingwei and these people, otherwise it would be left for the attack the night after tomorrow, and the enemy army would come again, just a civil strife, and Weizhou City would not be able to be saved. Scouts arrived in batches, but the Western Xia army still did not move. Yin Zhu didn't dare to take it lightly, if the Western Xia people opened the road to the south, and it was cavalry, in two or three hours, tens of thousands of troops would reach the city of Weizhou. However, after receiving a piece of good news, a hundred miles away from the city of cages, a thousand cavalry were divided, and at the second watch, they arrived at Weizhou City first to support. The troops are still seriously insufficient, and Zhang Qi is also struggling in Cage City. His troops were also insufficient, and the Tanguts moved south, completely disrupting the original arrangement.

He still has an army in his hands, but this army will be outflanked from the west to Dingchuan Village, and with his own troops, he can't set up a siege on the west side of Dingchuan Village. Therefore, it is necessary to count on the strength of Qinzhou. However, if Qinzhou wants to suppress the rebellion, it is possible to directly confront these 30,000 troops. Even Zhang Qi couldn't make a judgment, so he had to write a letter to Di Qing. Zheng Lang and Han Qi were surrounded in Dingchuan Village, and there was no way to pass the news in. Discuss with Di Qing, the situation has changed, what should I do?

At this time, Di Qing's letter also arrived in Weizhou, allowing Yin Zhu to stabilize.

The letter is very polite, Di Qing and Zhang Qi are both military generals, although they are known soldiers, this intellectual army is not as good as a county in peacetime, without him, military generals. Di Qing didn't dare to be as presumptuous as Zhang Fangping, and politely explained the reason, and said that 3,000 soldiers would be separated from Dongshanzhai, Pengyangcheng and other villages to support Weizhou. But it won't be until noon tomorrow at least. The transfer of one village after another, coupled with the fact that it is necessary to detour south from Tieyuan Village, will delay some time.

Yoon so's heart steadied slightly.

As long as 3,000 reinforcements arrive, although the troops in the city are insufficient, there is a risk of the city wall, and it can be defended.

I heard that Qin Nian escorted the prisoners back to Weizhou City.

Yin Su was annoyed and shouted: "Except for the chief's arraignment, the rest of the people are all beheaded outside the city for public display." ”

Salute first and then soldiers, the Song Dynasty is so benevolent and righteous to you, it actually wants to rebel against the riots, take you in, and kill them all. Save to squeeze into the city, there is not much space, so many people are criminal, there is no place to close, it is better to kill it.

Qin Nian and the Zhang brothers glanced at each other. How dare the Zhang brothers speak, they are just spies used to fight against each other, except for talking to Zheng Lang once, they have never talked to the big names of the Song Dynasty again. didn't say anything, Qin Nian had no choice but to kill.

Nearly a thousand people were executed outside the city, along with dozens more, all of them leaders. The others didn't matter, mainly Wu Hao, who escorted them to the city. At this time, the city was still in chaos, and many people continued to pour in from farther away, and chaos was everywhere. Qin Nian carefully dodged the crowd and escorted the prisoner in the direction of the prison, at which time Yin Zhu ordered him to take Wu Hao to the state office.

Yoon Su stared at the famous Han Jian.

At this time, he could only understand part of the value, but he didn't know that Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao were even more famous than him in the annals of history.

Wu Hao was a little embarrassed, Qin Nian tortured him for almost a day in order to get the news, his hair was scattered, the corners of his eyes were swollen, his face was bruised, and his nosebleeds dripped from his mouth, because his hands were tied, and he didn't wipe them off. Yin Zhu stared at him and said, "Wu Hao, did you ever think that you would end up today?" ”

"For the time being, has Yin Shilu forgotten Guo Quan's fate?"

"What do you mean?"

Wu Hao patted his chest, pointed at it and said, "Shi Lu, do you know how many secrets of Western Xia are hidden here?" ”

There is a little difference, here Wu Hao changed Daxia to Western Xia. As a Tangut person, he did not admit that he was from Tangut, but Daxia, and Tangut was only a Song saying.

Yin Su was stunned when he heard this, and he was almost fooled, and suddenly the outside reported that it was Cui Xian who asked to see him.

Yoon-so asks Choi Ha in.

Cui Xian is also very concerned about this Han Jian, as soon as her husband mentioned Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao, he gritted his teeth with hatred, and heard that he was captured alive, so he came to take a look. There are no three heads and six backs, an ordinary scribe. But this scribe should not be underestimated, Yuan Hao was called the emperor and invaded the Song Dynasty, and the Yeli brothers and Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao contributed a lot.

sneered: "Wu Hao, you still want to send someone to treat me unfavorably, the frog at the bottom of the well, I don't know how thick the sky is." ”

"Are you Cui Niangzi?"

"yes, I didn't expect that."

"Whether I'm a frog at the bottom of a well, you'll find out tomorrow." Wu Hao said arrogantly. It is unreasonable to talk to these stinky soldiers in Qin Nian, but when they see Yin Zhu and Cui Xian, it is easier to do. Don't be too happy, Zheng Lang has only succeeded a little bit.

Cui Xian's delicate face had a layer of gloom, and she said to Yin Zhu: "Shilu, why are you still polite to this kind of person? ”

"Cui Niangzi, of course he has to be polite. One is that I know many secrets of Western Xia, and the other is that since I can put Weizhou in danger, I can also make Lingzhou and Xingzhou face danger, such a talent, Yin Shilu dares to be cautious? Wu Hao said unashamedly.

Cui Xian barked as a dog, continued to look at Yin Zhu, and asked, "Shilu, do you really believe it?" ”

"I don't believe in ......," Yoon-so said with difficulty. Zheng Lang's whole plan, he still didn't know, but he vaguely felt that the disaster in Weizhou was beyond Zheng Lang's expectations, and this catastrophe was brought by the Han Jian in front of him.

"Officials often say that my generals are not strong, and there are many reasons why a small Western Xia, two million people, makes my court so difficult. In fact, in the final analysis, the minister lacks self-improvement, self-esteem, and enterprising, as well as temperament. If a country loses these fundamentals, no matter how rich it is, it will inevitably become a lamb in the eyes of others. Shi Lu, for this Han Jian, he was actually like this, and let his big words deceive, which made the concubine very disappointed. ”

"Cui Niangzi, I brought him here to interrogate."

"That's good, Shi Lu, don't treat him as a guest, so that you sell the whole of Weizhou to Yuan Hao, you don't know yet." Cui Xian said lightly and turned to leave.

So Wu Hao's sad urging began, and Yin Su ordered a cane punishment and forcibly asked for a confession.

Wu Hao gritted his teeth and didn't say anything.

He still had a glimmer of hope, the 30,000 troops of Western Xia were about to come to Weizhou, and they were taken to the prison just now, and then transferred to the state government, and looked carefully with their eyes, and there were really not enough troops in Weizhou City. With such a force, it is absolutely impossible to hold Weizhou City. You can't confess at this time, otherwise Yuan Hao will not allow himself.

beat Wu Hao to the point that he found nothing, and Yin Zhu didn't have time to pay attention to him, so he sent someone to drag him into a cell, strictly guarded him, and then waited for reinforcements from the north to arrive. These two days were a torment for him, 30,000 people were a little better, Guan Jian didn't know how many Western Xia troops there were in the rear, and he didn't know Zheng Lang's specific plan, the enemy could divide his troops to support him at any time. Weizhou City is big, big and easy to defend, this easy to defend also has a large number of soldiers, otherwise the city wall is not satisfied, and the bigger it is, the easier it is to lose. Since yesterday, Yoon Su has not closed his eyes, his eyes are red, the third watch is coming, and the fourth watch is ...... The scouts hurriedly came from outside the city to report that before the 3,000 reinforcements arrived, the Western Xia army bypassed the Wating Village from a fork in Liupan Mountain and pounced south.

The speed of the Western Xia people was very fast, the sky had just dawned, and tens of thousands of troops had already rushed to the city of Weizhou, and the black pressure was overwhelming, and there was no edge in sight. Wars happen everywhere from the unexpected......
