Chapter 76: Genius Dust

The situation in Anyang is extremely grim for Liang Hui after staying. Some time ago, in the face of the attack of the British army in the Tang Dynasty, the resistance was very easy and easy, which probably gave him an illusion.

But when Yerod's troops migrated to the city, Liang Hui was stunned. Even if he cowered in the city and did not show the slightest desire to attack, the Khitan army did not retreat north as he expected, but instead surrounded the city.

Seeing this formation, Liang Hui confessed very decisively, and immediately sent people out of the city, confessed and surrendered to the Liao army, and was honest with his heart, and had no intention of stopping the army......

Seeing Liang Hui's interest, Yelu Deguang said that he would give him a chance to take people out of the city and personally go to Liaoying to plead guilty.

Faced with this request, Liang Hui hesitated, he was afraid that he would be tricked into the Liao camp and become a mermaid. Seeing that the Khitan people had the intention of surrendering, they thought about it carefully, and even talked about the conditions with Yelu Deguang.

Yerod is just such a character, he doesn't care about the mentality of such a small person at all, plus the anger accumulated on the way back to the north, and the physical discomfort, he doesn't have much patience. Directly issued a strict order, and the Khitan army supervised the Jin army to attack the city.

This time, under the obviously unkind surveillance eyes of the Khitans behind them, the soldiers of the Jin army did not dare to do their best.

Although Anyang City is still strong, the quality of the soldiers defending the city is worrying, and most of the soldiers of the Jin army were originally the Shi Jin Forbidden Army, and the combat effectiveness is still expected, especially when it is forced to that part, the attack power that erupts is still invincible to the righteous army in the city.

At this time, Liang Hui got acquainted with each other completely, ordered a white flag to be erected on the city, and expressed his willingness to surrender without reservation, just to get a life. However, this time, Jerod simply said: he will not surrender. At the same time, he issued a strict order to continue the siege of the city, directly forcing the rebels in Anyang City into a desperate situation.

The Khitan East Battalion, a village in the camp of several miles, hundreds of Jin ministers were doing rough work under the service of a team of Khitan soldiers. At the slightest slackness, the whip was waved down mercilessly.

These people were all officials of the original Shi Jin Divisions and Agencies, and the Liao army returned to the north and was packed and brought back by Yelu Deguang. Those Shi Jin ministers with big official positions and high prestige may be able to get the courtesy of the Khitans, but more officials have suffered enough in this migration.

In particular, these petty officials and officials have to work to get food, carry, drive cars, feed horses, chop wood, carry water, and set up camp...... Basically, they were used as coolies, and the lower-level officials and soldiers of the Khitan would not be polite to them, and they would beat and scold them from time to time.

Along the way, there have been many people who can't bear this humiliation and suffering, and have committed suicide. But more than that, we have to endure in silence, in addition to the sake of sparing their lives, many officials' wives and children have also moved north, among the migrants. Carrying the weight of his family, no matter how hard he is, he has to bear it.

Wei Renpu is one of these Jin ministers, he was originally just a small official in the Privy Council, and he was soft-spoken, but he couldn't escape this military disaster, and Yelude almost emptied the Shijin court in Tokyo.

Compared with other people's wailing and complaining, Wei Renpu was much calmer, and there was never any senseless resistance. The Khitan people asked him to do something, never hesitated to refuse, and worked hard, in this camp, he was the only Jin minister who had not been whipped and scolded.

Wei Renpu and several weak Jin ministers were sorting out the firewood chopped in the camp, loading it into the car, and transporting it to his camp. His clothes were worn and damaged, and his beard was covered with dust, but he didn't care at all, and he was calm.

Only during the transportation process, the two eyes will subconsciously look around, and record the information such as the roads, guards, and fences of each battalion of the Liao camp in their minds. He seemed to be thinking about an escape route, and although it was unlikely to succeed, it didn't prevent him from having this idea.

After working hard for a long time, he had to rest for a while, Wei Renpu was not young, he was tired and had a sore back, so he only got a little ration from the Khitan soldiers.

The time had quietly entered April, and the heat of the weather was no longer as warm as that of spring, sitting quietly in the shadow of a crowded tent, Wei Renpu slowly chewed the coarse corn cake.

The four camp tents with small space are used to house more than 300 Jin ministers and their families in the camp, which is particularly crowded. The atmosphere in the tent was oppressive, deadly silent, so heavy that it was impossible to breathe.

Next to him, an official distributed rations to his wife and son, which was not much, but even less for three people, which was not enough to fill his stomach. The child is not big, but he looks very sensible, his eyes are very clear, even if he is hungry, he does not make a noise, but just huddles tightly in his mother's arms.

This official Wei Renpu knew that he was originally a chief bookkeeper of Dali Temple. Seeing the situation of his family, Wei Renpu sighed, handed him the remaining half of the cake in his hand, patted him on the shoulder, and did not speak.

Holding half a piece of bread, the official was stunned, but soon became sad, and cried while distributing the bread to his wife. The choked cries seemed to be contagious, and soon, the originally lifeless tent was filled with desolate weeping.

Until, the Khitan military officials who were inspected were brutally suppressed, and turned to secretly weep.

Wei Renpu didn't cry, he stayed silently, he was just a little lucky, when the Khitans went south last year, he sent his wife back to his hometown in Weizhou in advance, and his third son was born in Tokyo last year.

If it weren't for the foresight at that time, I'm afraid that today, it will definitely affect the family. You must know that along the way, there have been many relatives of officials, who have died of illness, exhaustion, or starvation because of the torment on this migration road......

Thinking of his relatives, Wei Renpu's strong face finally had some softness, especially when he thought of his mother at home, his heart was infinitely melancholy.

His father died early, his family was poor, and his mother raised him alone to provide him with education and complete his studies. Thinking about the past, when he said goodbye to his mother in tears, when he went to Luoyang in Henan, he swore that if he did not show up, he would not return here.

However, after so many years in the Shijin Imperial Court, he is still just a pen clerk, although he is a little famous, but he has nothing to be proud of. Up to now, he has been captive by the Khitan, and he has reached a precarious situation, and he knows that he is miserable when he thinks about it.

When Wei Renpu was called to sort out the forage, there was another shouting of killing in Anyang City. The sound of the drums of war can be heard very clearly, even from a distance.

While busy, Wei Renpu subconsciously stopped his movements and looked west. In the past few days, this is the fourth offensive. The situation in Anyang at this time, after the spread, Wei Renpu also knew something in his heart.

Yelu Deguang did not allow the city to surrender, and the practice of sending soldiers to rush to the city made Wei Renpu's heart chill. Hearing the sound of rushing and killing from the west, a trace of sadness appeared on Wei Renpu's face, he was originally a lenient person. sighed angrily in his heart: "What a ruthless Liao lord, this is to use this city to harm the lives of my Han soldiers......"

"Hurry up!" After only walking for a while, the supervising military officials on the side patrolled here and scolded Wei Renpu.

Wei Renpu came back to his senses, quickly gathered all his emotions, and threw himself into his work. It's all fish on the chopping board, and it's at the mercy of others, and at this time, you can only ask for more blessings......
