Hangzhou was heavily guarded, and no one expected that the war would burn from Zhenjiang to this side. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Over the years, the comfort has also made everyone relax their vigilance, especially in the past few years when Han Zhang has been in the Wubian of Lingbei, the frontier of Daqi is very stable.

On weekdays, there are only a few rogues who come to make trouble, and they are also chased by the Ye family.

When there was chaos in the city, most people were ready to go into the bed to meet Zhou Gong, and they didn't take the movement outside seriously at all.

Until the defenders of the city gate fled without their armor.

The soldiers who had lost their minds shouted desperately, as if this was the only way to escape from the sharp blades of the Tanguts, and the seemingly heavily guarded city of Hangzhou could not withstand the collision like a piece of tofu.

The Tangut people were like a whirlwind, robbed the houses of several large families, and put a fire in the Hangzhou mansion, and when Zhao Qianzong reassembled the soldiers, the Tangut people had already flown away, the officers and soldiers extinguished the fire, and found a corpse in the backyard that was hung high on the flagpole by the Tangut people, and it was a general on duty who was hanging.

Zhao Qianzong only learned after several inquiries that when the Xixia people came, the general on duty had just robbed a folk girl and was ready to act in the yamen, and the Xixia people didn't say a word and hung up the general belly who had not yet lifted his pants, and the general intestines flowed all over the ground, and the scene was indescribably bloody.

If the folk girl who was robbed by the general hadn't been hiding in the corner, she might have been taken away by the Tanguts.

In this way, the Tanguts came and went freely in the city of Hangzhou, as if they were in a no-man's land, and laughed at the weakness of the Acropolis army.

Liu Xian, the garrison of Hangzhou, was about to go to Yamen to sit in the town, his seventy-year-old mother and fifty-year-old wife dragged his arm and did not allow him to go out.

Liu Xian gritted his teeth and left his female dependents and came to the yamen.

He, an old minister, has always been the benchmark of Hangzhou officials, and after so many years, he wants to go home safely and steadily, so after the accident in Zhenjiang, he has always followed the principle of "not in his position, not in his position, not in his government", not seeing Min Huai, not seeing Han Zhang, ignoring Li Chengmao, how to write on the official documents of the imperial court, he will do it.

Han Zhang is innocent.

But the crown prince is even more terrifying.

Xu Songyuan's letter was sent to his desk, and he asked the Xu family to take it back without reading it.

He knew what Xu Songyuan would say, if Xu Songyuan was not a tendon, he would not have been dismissed three times and twice, the old lady of the Xu family had already informed him in advance, and asked him not to pay attention to Xu Songyuan no matter what.

But now he can no longer hide, because the Western Xia people have attacked Hangzhou in a storm, he must write a book, 800 miles to the court to ask for guilt, if something happens again, not to mention the official position, I am afraid that his life will not be guaranteed.

Thus the calamity fell on him for no reason.

If he was watching the fire from the other side before, now he is in it, and he will be crushed if he is not careful.

Liu Xian asked, "Are you sure it's from Western Xia?" ”

The subordinates were shocked and nodded, "Zhao Qianzong's people have killed and injured dozens of people, how can ordinary people have such ability, although they are wearing our Daqi clothes outside, they have scimitars hanging from the Tangut people around their waists, and the leader also speaks a few words of Tangut language, which is indeed a Tangut person." ”

Speaking of this, the subordinate took a breath, "Didn't you say that we were dealing with the rebels from Zhongshu Province?" How could it be a Tangut man? If we meet the Tangut people here, what will happen to Zhenjiang? ”

Liu Xian glanced at his subordinates, if he knew, he wouldn't be worried here.

What can I do?

The garrison of Hangzhou is him, no matter how much he can't blame Han Zhang, Liu Xian has a feeling of wanting to cry without tears, and now he can only invite Li Chengmao to discuss countermeasures.

Han Zhang's army was still on the way, and he had garrisoned various guards, and the only person with military power in his hands was Li Chengmao.

However, Li Chengmao did not come to the yamen to discuss matters on the grounds of ordering troops.

When this happens, everyone has to stay away for fear of getting into bad luck.

Liu Xian had no way to find Old Madam Ye.

Old Madam Ye drank tea, thinking of the triumphant appearance of fearlessness a few days ago, and let out a word, whether it was Min Huai or the people sent by Han Zhang, he would not see anything.

Zhenjiang's resistance to the enemy was Han Zhang's idea, and it had nothing to do with him Liu Xian.

Old Madam Ye put down the tea bowl in her hand and said lightly: "If you want me to say, this is retribution, when others are in trouble, they look on coldly, but I didn't expect it to be my turn so soon." ”

Liu Xian's face couldn't hold back, and suddenly turned purple.

"Now it's just that the Western Xia people are attacking the city, and when Han Zhang really can't hold Zhenjiang, the rebels will go all the way south," Old Madam Ye said and paused, looking at Liu Xian seriously, "Liu Shoubei, do you say that you will attack Hangzhou City at that time?" In this way, our Ye family also needs to move early. ”

If the Ye family moves, the big families in Hangzhou will move out one after another.

Liu Xian's cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

Then, Hangzhou will not become the second Zhenjiang, and he will stay and defend an empty city.

"Old lady," Liu Xian stood up, "for the sake of the boy's deceased father, you will show the boy a way to live." ”

"Don't, don't," Old Madam Ye shook her head suddenly, "I'm already old and useless, where do I have any ideas for you...... Otherwise, Lord Liu, you should go and pray to God and worship the Buddha...... Doesn't it mean that Zhenjiang was able to tide over the difficulties, all because of the blessing of the pharmacist Liuliguangru? ”

"What's the child's name?" Old Madam Ye looked at the housekeeper mother beside her.

The housekeeper's mother smiled and said, "It's the eldest lady of the Gu family, I heard that it was the name given by Lord Xu Songyuan, called Langhua." ”

Old Madam Ye nodded, and suddenly asked Liu Xian, "How old is Liu Shoubei?" ”

Liu Xian didn't dare to slack off, "The kid is three out of fifty." ”

Old Madam Ye said "um", "It's not young." ”

Liu Xian had a pitiful look on his face, "Please also ask the old lady to have mercy." ”

"Fifty-three years old, I have lived most of my life, I should have seen through the world, but at this time I am not as good as a child, Gu Langhua helped the government to strengthen the city wall, invited dervishes to transport military rations, and distributed medicine to the people to resist the summer heat, what have you done as a garrison?"

"Something happened in Hangzhou, and it threatened your black yarn hat, so you ran here and begged me to have mercy on you."

"What about the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang who are about to die at the hands of the rebels and the Tanguts?"

"What were you doing when they begged you?"

"You are writing your big characters, pretending to be your elegance, and thinking about your career."

"Isn't it that no matter how many people die, it has nothing to do with you?"

"It's okay, it's your turn now."

Old Madam Ye said: "Not counting Li Chengmao's army, how many people are there in the Hangzhou Guard?" Thousands of people were beaten by dozens of people and had no ability to fight back, there must always be a scapegoat to bear this crime, you are old, and the children and grandchildren under you are not outstanding, and there is no use value for the court, do you think the court will spare you? ”

The Ye family touched a bag of things, and Mrs. Ye waved her hand to let people open it.

Inside is a brand new shroud.

Old Madam Ye had a faint smile on her face, "I see that the time has come, and it is time for Liu Shoubei to prepare for the future." You don't have to be afraid, just die, it's nothing, my old lady just gives you some funeral money to add color, and it can be regarded as the affection of our two families. ”
