Fei Wen knew that Xiao Ding kicked and injured Bian Hongtai, so he wanted to vent his anger for Bian Hongtai. So he asked Xiaoding again and again.

Xiao Ding saw that Fei Wen had the intention of protecting his shortcomings, and he was not afraid, but still said unhurriedly: "May I ask Lord Fei, in the laws of my Great Song Kingdom, is there any law that says that Yu Hou can rob people's girls on the street?" ”

"This ......," Fei Wen said, and then said: "You don't want to talk nonsense, you should be punished for beating an officer, and you dare to quibble?" Come on, drag this kid down and cut him down! ”

"Wait!" Yang County Ling spoke up on the side, "Lord Fei, since such a case happened in the boundary of my Dingbian County, it is more appropriate for me to try this case, and besides, Lord Fei, you can't just cut people indiscriminately just because you are the commander of the capital!" ”

"Okay, since you want to try the case, then you can try it, I want to see how Lord Yang tries the case!" Fei Wen said with some annoyance.

Yang County Ling didn't care about Fei Wen, and ordered downward, "Prepare to ascend to the court!" ”

Then send someone to bring all the people involved in the case to the court.

In fact, Xiao Ding understands very well in his heart that the main reason why Lord Yang is so enthusiastic is to go through the motions and show outsiders, in fact, he has already told him what happened, and he already knows what is going on.

In the court, Yang County ordered interrogation one by one, first of all, Widow Wang told what happened, and what she said was naturally the same as what Xiao Ding said. Then I asked Xiao Ding again, and Xiao Ding also retold it, and then found a few eyewitnesses near the tofu workshop, and the account was also consistent with what Widow Wang and Xiao Ding said. Only when asked about Bian Hongtai, Bian Hongtai said that he just wanted to invite Widow Wang home for tea, and then he was beaten by Xiaoding, and he didn't say that he used a knife to cut Xiaoding first.

However, the lie was quickly exposed, because there were many onlookers on the street at that time, and the eyewitness confessions were consistent, and Bian Hongtai could not deny it.

In the end, Yang County Decree decided: Xiao Ding should be commended for his righteousness and courage in stopping Bian Hongtai's crime in time, but he injured the court officials and was suspected of excessive defense, so his merits and demerits were offset and he was not punished or punished. Because Widow Wang was a victim, but because of Xiao Ding's timely action, she did not suffer substantial injuries, but was just frightened, so Bian Hongtai compensated Widow Wang with 100 taels of silver as compensation for the frightened. Bian Hongtai, as an official of the imperial court, also robbed the people's girls on the street, and deserved to be guilty of one more degree, but because of Xiao Ding's timely action, his motive for the crime was attempted, and at the same time he was injured by Xiao Ding and had been punished, so he only needed to compensate the widow Wang with one hundred taels of silver in court to release him.

After a verdict, it was reasonable, fair and just, and the people who came to watch the trial applauded and applauded and praised Lord Yang for his wisdom. Fei Wenlai still wanted to interfere, but when he saw this situation, he also shut up. He also knew in his heart what kind of person Bian Hongtai was.

Bian Hongtai was already very aggrieved when he was kicked and injured by Xiao Ding, and he originally hoped that Fei Wen could support him and treat Xiao Ding for some crime. Unexpectedly, Yang Xianling personally took over the case, and after the trial was completed in court, he was not only beaten in vain, but also had to pay out a hundred taels of silver. If you don't give the money, you won't be able to release him.

What made him even more aggrieved was that after he asked people to take money to compensate the widow in court, he went out of the court, but the people on the street threw rotten eggs, rotten vegetables and other garbage at him. Beat him to the ground. He was about to throw up himself.

After Xiao Ding left the court, he went directly to the barracks to find Zhao Laixi and Zhao Hu.

In the camp of the township soldiers, Xiao Ding saw Zhao Laixi, Zhao Hu and others, and when he saw that they were all safe and sound, he became happy in his heart. They each recounted their experiences and had a great time.

Xiao Ding told them to be more careful in the future, Hu Ren would definitely come again.

But Zhao Laixi said that their township soldiers may have to return to Yongzhou in the next few days, because Luyang seems to have received an order, and their township barracks need to return to Yongzhou to continue to escort the next batch of grain, grass and materials to the front line.

In the county hall of the county government, after the county magistrate finished hearing the case, he returned to the conference hall with Huang Wenlong, Fei Wen and other officers to continue to discuss military affairs.

Huang Wenlong told Xiao Ding's guess in public, and at the same time reminded Fei Wen to prepare early. When Fei Wen heard this, he was also scared, if the Hu people were really waiting for reinforcements, then the day when the reinforcements arrived would be the time when the city of Dingbian was broken!

After experiencing a life-and-death battle, Fei Wen is more afraid of death than anyone else. So as soon as Huang Wenlong finished speaking, he immediately took this matter to heart.

"If the Hu people are really waiting for reinforcements to arrive, how should we deal with it?" Fei Wen didn't insist on going his own way this time, he asked Huang Wenlong and Yang County Order.

"I think it's better for us to inform Lord Zhizhou and Lord Thorn Shi as soon as possible. It would be better for them to send troops to support them again. Yang County Ling put forward his idea

"But our Yongzhou North and South Battalions have a total of 100,000 border guards have all been sent over, and now even if Lord Zhizhou and Lord Thorn Shi send troops, they will have no troops to send!" Huang Wenlong still knows the details of Yongzhou.

"Isn't Yongzhou City currently recruiting new recruits in Yongzhou?" A junior officer interjected.

"Recruits are useless, they haven't been on the battlefield, and they can't form combat effectiveness." Huang Wenlong said that he has been in the army for so many years, and he still understands these truths relatively well.

Recruits are not trained, and some people faint at the sight of blood, so how can they kill?

"Then we should also report the situation here to Lord Zhizhou, and let Lord Zhizhou and Lord Assassin Shi decide this matter, maybe Lord Zhizhou can report to the imperial court, and let the imperial court send forbidden troops to guard the border." Yang still insisted on his advice.

"Okay, just do what Lord Yang says." Fei Wen nodded in response.

Seeing that Fei Wen nodded and agreed, Yang County Ling secretly said in his heart, if you had listened to me earlier, you would not have given the lives of more than 25,000 soldiers to Hu Ren in vain.

So, Fei Wen immediately wrote a document and wrote the situation here in Dingbian in detail in the letter, and also wrote the speculation that Huang Wenlong said, so that Lord Zhizhou and Lord Thorn Shi could make up their minds as soon as possible.

After the document was written, a special person was sent to Yongzhou City.

Then several people continued to discuss the current issue of the distribution of soldiers and horses in the three county towns of Dingbian, Pubian, and Xinquan.

At present, Dingbian City has the largest number of soldiers and horses, with nearly 25,000 remaining Fei Wen, plus 7,800 remaining defenders in Dingbian, adding more than 30,000 people. Of course, there are also more than 4,000 Luyang township soldiers. In the last battle to defend the city, more than 1,000 people were killed and wounded in the village soldiers.

And the smallest number of troops is Xinquan City, which currently has only two or three thousand defenders, plus two thousand newly recruited people.

There are still seven or eight thousand defenders in Pubian City, led by Kim Hee. The combined strength of the three counties can also reach 40,000 people. It can basically be on par with the current strength of the Hu people.

How to distribute the current troops, Fei Wen, Huang Wenlong, and Yang Xianling had different opinions.

Huang Wenlong believed that some more troops should be sent to the two cities of Pubian and Xinquan, otherwise once the Hu people went to attack the two cities, the two cities would be very dangerous.

Yang Xianling believed that it was not appropriate to disperse the forces at present, and if the Hu people took each attack again, or concentrated a little to attack, it would be easy to be destroyed by the Hu people.

Fei Wen believes that all the troops of the other two cities should be transferred back to Dingbian, focusing on defending Dingbian, if the Hu people go to attack the other two cities, it is too late to send troops to support now, and when the Hu people attacked the two cities before, didn't they also go to support now?

Each of the three of them has its own reasoning. Therefore, in the end, no conclusion was reached.
