【Chapter 118】The Tartars are coming, but Fort Weizhen is abandoned......

Two hundred and fifty taels can buy such a big mansion, Xu Xingxia thinks it's still very good. The estimated value of such a house is indeed more than five hundred taels. Of course, he has every reason to believe that Zhang Qiuqing will never take advantage of himself. Therefore, behind this transaction, there must be something unsavvy. Sure enough, bigger cats soon came out. Zhang Qiuqing was anxious to give the money on the spot and deliver it on the spot.

Xu Xingxia immediately felt even more wrong. What's the matter with Zhang Qiuqing, who is in such a hurry and needs money? Or are you worried that you won't have a chance to give money in the future? Most likely the latter. Because, Zhang Qiuqing has thousands of acres of fertile land, and it is impossible to lack the two hundred and fifty taels of silver. Only the latter can be trusted. If so, the situation is serious.

Even, Xu Xingxia could faintly feel that the reason why Zhang Qiuqing wanted to realize the old mansion of Weizhenbao as soon as possible was that it was very likely that the Tartars were coming again. He felt that it would be impossible for Fort Weizhen to hold back the Tartars' attack, and that it would definitely be razed to the ground. His old mansion is no exception. In this case, you can realize as much as you can. Damn, at this time, I still want to make black money, it seems that Zhang Qiuqing's family property must be very rich.

However, Xu Xingxia did not say anything. He wanted to see what the hell Zhang Qiuqing was going to do. He went back to Xu's house, brought two hundred and fifty taels of silver, and found Chen Denglong and Lin Hainiu as middlemen for the sale, and completed the settlement with Zhang Qiuqing on the spot. Zhang Qiuqing got the silver, and Xu Xingxia got the deed. After careful inspection, I was convinced that the title deed was indeed genuine.

After Zhang Qiuqing got the silver, his heart was put down, and he couldn't wait to say: "Xu Baihu, Weizhenbao will rely on you in the future." After I go back to Pingyu City, I will definitely try my best to get more money and food for you in front of the Lord Qianhu. If you have built up a greater feat, just report it to me, and I will certainly try to get a reward for you. ”

Xu Xingxia said in his heart, you are still trying to get money and food for me? Struggling to get me a reward? It's good that you don't mess with Lao Tzu. Damn, I'm colluding with you to collude with the Tartars, and I'll get through this one of foreign countries, just wash my neck and wait for death! Lao Tzu treats Han Jian, there is only one principle, that is: kill! He stood up quietly, bent down and saluted, and said respectfully: "In this case, my subordinates will send the deputy Qianhu out of the castle gate!" ”

Zhang Qiuqing said repeatedly: "No, no, Xu Baihu, you're busy!" You're busy! ”

With that, he turned around and took his entourage, hurriedly left Weizhen Fort, and returned to Pingyu City. Seeing the way they rode their horses and galloped, Xu Xingxia only had one feeling, that is, Zhang Qiuqing was eager to leave Weizhen Fort and did not dare to stay here for a moment. If it's just that I'm afraid that I'll regret it, it's too much.

Chen Denglong said with some worry: "Lord Baihu, the situation seems to be a little wrong!" Why are you in such a hurry to deal with your real estate? His mansion is more than two hundred and fifty taels! Also, why was he in such a hurry to leave Fort Willtown? It was as if there were Tartars chasing after him. However, behind him, there are obviously no tartars! ”

Xu Xingxia said coldly: "It's not that there's something wrong, it's very wrong." ”

Lin Hainiu hurriedly asked, "Lord Baihu, is there something big going on?" ”

Xu Xingxia nodded, and said with a cold expression: "I feel that Weizhenbao is about to have a big incident, and Zhang Qiuqing will be in such a hurry to deal with his real estate." ”

Chen Denglong couldn't wait to say, "What's the big deal?" ”

A slight sneer appeared on the corner of Xu Xingxia's mouth, and he said slowly: "Do you think that in Weizhenbao, what other major events can make Zhang Qiuqing so nervous?" ”

Chen Denglong's face changed slightly, and he said in shock: "Ah...... Tartars! ”

Lin Hainiu's face suddenly turned extremely pale.

The Tartars are coming to attack Fort Will?

Xu Xingxia said coldly: "It is estimated that the above has received some rumors, knowing that the Tartars may go south in the near future, and Weizhenbao is not safe, Zhang Qiuqing will be so anxious to deal with his property." It can be inferred from this that the possible surname of the Tartar who went south is still very large. ”

In fact, Xu Xingxia knew very well that the top did not receive any rumors at all, but that the Tartars were simply attracted by them. Since Zhang Qiuqing can attract Tartar for the first time, he can definitely attract the second time. Last time, Sobud was aiming for himself, and this time he is probably coming for himself. Sobud will not be easily resigned to defeat, and he will definitely make a comeback. Fort Weizhen is indeed in danger, and it is still a big danger.

Last time, Sobud arrived in a hurry and was not well prepared. The Tatar cavalry he brought with him was so small that he was crushed by himself and had to flee back to the Kylekin tribe. The last defeat was completely caused by carelessness and surprise, and it had nothing to do with the strength of the two sides. With the lesson of last time, this time, Sobud will definitely learn the lesson of blood and lead more cavalry south.

It is even possible that he will prepare some simple siege equipment to change the strategy of the Tatar cavalry, which has never attacked fortifications in the past. For example, a ladder or something. A simple ladder that can be carried without much trouble. Even, Sobud could only send people to Helan Mountain to cut timber and make siege equipment after coming to the vicinity of Weizhen Fort. As long as there are ladders, a castle of average height will not be able to stop the brave and incomparable Tartars.

The walls of Weizhen Fort are not very high, the highest place is less than three zhang, and the shortest place is even only two zhang. Such a fort wall height can be easily climbed using a ladder. From a defender's point of view, it is very dangerous indeed. Moreover, what is even worse is that even if he Xu Xingxia now has enough money and enough manpower and material resources, it is impossible to increase the fort wall.

Chen Denglong asked a little nervously, "My lord, what should we do?" ”

Xu Xingxia said calmly: "Don't panic, everyone. It's just the arrival of the Tartars. Before, it wasn't that there were no Tartars coming, and Fort Weizhen was not safe and sound? ”

Chen Denglong and Lin Hainiu thought of Xu Xingxia's perverted ability, and their hearts settled down a little. However, in the face of the tremendous pressure of the arrival of the Tartars, they still felt quite urgent. Even Zhang Qiuqing is not optimistic about Weizhenbao and has completely broken away from the relationship with Weizhenbao, what does this mean? It means that the upper authorities may be completely abandoning Fort Weizhen. Once the Tartars really arrived, it was impossible for reinforcements to come to Fort Weizhen.

Of course, Xu Xingxia understands the danger here. He knew better than anyone else the determination of the Nei Annihilation and the Tartars to put themselves to death. Zhang Qiuqing even sold his old house for his own life. One can imagine what kind of crazy actions the Tartars will have when they arrive. He can strategically despise the Tartars, but tactically, he must value the Tartars.

After pondering for a moment, Xu Xingxia said calmly: "Without further ado, Lin Hainiu, you immediately summon all the members of the stewardship council to come here and have a meeting!" ”

Lin Hainiu hurriedly walked away.

Soon, the six general flags of the stewardship committee came to the back garden of Zhang Qiuqing's house. This house, which has been bought by Xu Xingxia, has become a temporary conference room in the pavilion in the back garden. may have learned some news from Lin Hainiu, and the expressions on the faces of each general flag looked relatively nervous. When they arrived, their faces were stiffened, and no one spoke.

There is no way for them not to be nervous, judging from Zhang Qiuqing's various signs, Weizhenbao is already an outcast, and no one takes care of it. Will Fort Willin be able to survive this crisis on its own? To be honest, none of them have such confidence. Because, before that, there has never been such a precedent. None of them dared to envision the consequences of abandonment.

Xu Xingxia said slowly: "Let me briefly introduce the relevant situation first. There are certain indications that in the near future, perhaps in half a month's time, or even in ten days, a large number of Tartars will move south and loot the entire Fort of Weizhen. There are also some signs that this time, the higher authorities may not take care of our Weizhen Fort. Specifically, there are no reinforcements, and we are left to our own death. ”

Hearing that Xu Xingxia personally confirmed that Weizhenbao had been abandoned, the hearts of the general banners became even more bitter. In those days, there was no dry tobacco, and no one smoked. All the general flags drooped their heads, and their mood seemed relatively low. Some people are rubbing their hands vigorously, and some people are concentrating on picking their feet. Whoever changes it, when he hears such bad news, his emotions can't be raised. This is a major event related to the life of the family!

After a slight pause, Xu Xingxia continued to say slowly: "To be honest, this situation is indeed very bad. Our own defense capabilities are not strong, and once the number of Tartars exceeds three hundred, we will be very dangerous. But no matter how dangerous it is, we can't just hold it back. Each of us will fight to the end! ”

"I don't know why the higher authorities abandoned us, all I can say is that no matter who abandons us, we can't abandon ourselves. I don't think any of you here want to fall into the hands of the Tartars, right? No one wants their loved ones to die at the hands of the Tartars, right? Since we don't want to, then we have to fight hard! ”

Lei Hongguo said a little worriedly: "Lord Baihu, we all understand what you mean. No one wants to die, does they? However, without reinforcements from Pingyu City, have we been able to fight the Tartars? The total number of people in our Weizhen Fort is more than 3,000 people! ”

Several other general flags all looked at Xu Xingxia with expectant eyes. Lei Hongguo's words are the words of each of them, and they are also the most worried in their hearts. That's right, even if the children of Weizhen Fort all took up arms and went into battle, that is, more than 3,000 people, which is not enough for the large-scale Tartars to stuff their teeth.
