Chapter 36: The History of Love and Hate in the Northern Song Dynasty and Western Xia

Ding Wei knelt down in front of Liu Wenhan and cried, and a big man actually cried.

"Okay, okay, I got it!"

Liu Wenhan said impatiently, he was in a panic and couldn't see that Ding Wei was lying.

The gate of Qinzhou was closed, and the strong men in the city were requisitioned to defend the city.

And he also repaired a copy of the book and sent it to Fengxiang Mansion!

There were thieves in Anping County, swept the land of Qinzhou, suspected of colluding with the Western Xia people, thousands of cavalry appeared in Qinzhou, and the general Li Feng rushed into the enemy, resulting in a heavy defeat and heavy losses in the army of thieves in the imperial court.

And surrendered to the enemy before the battle, the situation in Qinzhou was extremely critical, and he asked the imperial court to send a large army to support!

I have to say that Liu Wenhan was frightened by the thousands of cavalry in the mouth of the defeated soldiers, but he didn't want to think about it, if there were really thousands of cavalry, would those defeated soldiers still be able to come back?!

It's just that after calming down, Liu Wenhan also sensed that something was wrong, and Ding Wei was lying to him!

Li Feng may not have surrendered to the thief, and Ding Wei should have escaped before coming back.

However, this time the imperial court suppressed the bandit army for a fiasco, and someone always needs to be responsible for it, either Li Feng or Ding Wei, anyway, it is not his turn to be the head of Lord Yin.

Since Li Feng didn't come back and Ding Wei came back, then just report it according to what Ding Wei said, anyway, Li Feng is not necessarily alive now, and he can't refute it.

No matter what he Liu Wenhan says, but Ding Wei is not necessarily, besides, Ding Wei still has someone on top, and he, Liu Wenhan, is a person who hates trouble.

However, he, Liu Wenhan, still had doubts about the more than 1,000 cavalry in Ding Wei's mouth, and before the imperial court reinforcements arrived, Qinzhou City continued to maintain martial law.

……

Song Zhiwen of Anping City felt a little desperate, and he got the news that the 2,000 army from Qinzhou City had been wiped out by that group of traitors.

Is there really no way to avenge his son's revenge?

Song Zhiwen fell into deep self-doubt!

There is also a strange atmosphere in the entire Anping City, and the long-term blockade has led to a shortage of living materials in the city, and the price of food has increased several times.

In the grain shop of Mr. Sun's house in the east of the city, the price of grain has tripled, and Mr. Sun has even been praised by the whole city for being a good person, which shows what the situation in the city is recently.

Although Anping City has been blocked recently, everything that happened outside Anping City has still spread to Anping City.

The traitors outside the city were liquidating the rich or notorious squire landlords, and then using their property to help the poor.

And those traitors are still recruiting, as long as they go, they will have a settling-in allowance of ten yuan, a consistent salary of silver every month, three meals a day, and meat when they are full.

I don't know how many civilian children are envious of this treatment!

Even some small landlords can't eat like this every day!

But the most attractive thing is the policy of dividing the land when you become a soldier!

No one can imagine the obsession of the Chinese people with the land in this era!

In addition, in recent times, the situation in the city has indeed become worse and worse, and the entire Anping City has some undercurrents.

Every night, someone tries to climb over the wall to leave Anping City and go to join the captive army!

On the wall of Anping City at night, there were a few guards standing sparsely, yawning one by one.

However, not far from them, there was a black shadow that descended from the city wall with great agility.

"Someone sneaking out of the city again?"

The leader of the guard pouted and said impatiently.

"yes, I've already gone out a few people tonight alone."

Someone next to him chimed in.

"If you want me to say, I'm afraid this Anping City can't be defended!"

Wang Wu also held a spear in his arms, leaning on the city wall and yawning.

"Who's to say it's not."

“……”

"I heard that the traitor is recruiting, do you want to try it, brothers?"

"Don't go, don't go, no matter how good they are treated, they are just a traitor, and sooner or later they will be exterminated, brothers don't want to die."

Someone shook their heads desperately.

Knock knock knock......

Suddenly, there was a muffled noise at the gate of the city, which woke up several guards who were chatting, and they all became nervous.

"Who is it? Who is where? ”

The leader of the guard asked in a loud voice, his weapon clenched as if to embolden himself.

"Brother Guard, we are the team of Wanxiang Pavilion, and we want to go out of the city to Qinzhou to buy goods."

A voice came from the direction of the city gate, a middle-aged man with a very strong voice.

A few guards poked their heads out, and saw a convoy stopped at the gate of the city, and they looked at each other, and they all saw the joy in each other's eyes.

If you want to get out of the city in the middle of the night, it's still a convoy, and they can make a good profit!

Several people flocked down the tower.

"I suspect you are spies, and I want to search your vehicles."

Wang Wu was the first to stand up and say, and he wanted to search Wanxiang Pavilion's convoy with all eyes on him.

A cold sweat suddenly broke out on the forehead of the steward of Wanxiang Pavilion, but he knew what his convoy was carrying.

Iron, armor, medicine, food, cloth......

It's basically all contraband, and if it's found out, as long as you're not stupid, you'll know who he's giving these things to.

Now outside Anping City, there is a big thief!

The steward of Wanxiang Pavilion hurriedly stepped forward and stuffed a thick pile of Jiaozi to the leader of the guards.

"Please also ask this leader to be accommodating, our Wanxiang Pavilion is a businessman who does his duty."

The leader of the guard accepted the handover and nodded in satisfaction.

With a wave of his hand, he motioned for the city gate to be opened, and the gate creaked open.

It's just that at this moment, it was a sudden change, and there was a sound of horses' hooves at the corner of the long street in Anping City.

A knight dressed in the garb of a servant came on horseback, and when he came to the gate of the city, he stopped with the reins of his horse and said to the leader of the guards.

"Lord Zhixian sent me to Qinzhou overnight to deliver a letter and quickly open the city gate."

As he spoke, he tossed a token to the leader of the guards.

As soon as the leader of the guard saw the token, he did not dare to let it go without the slightest hesitation.

"Wait!"

The official suddenly looked at Wanxiang Pavilion's convoy and said.

"Who are they, are they spies, why did they leave the city overnight?"

"Back to this lord, we are from Wanxiang Pavilion, and we want to go out to buy goods at night, after all, there are chaos outside the city, and we don't dare to leave during the day."

The middle-aged steward had more cold sweat on his forehead, and replied cautiously.

"Oh~ really?"

The official had some doubts.

"No, you can't go out of the city, the magistrate has an order, before the thieves outside the city are exterminated, the whole city is under martial law, and no one is allowed to leave the city."

The official said.

"But...... This lord ...... We ......"

The middle-aged steward looked bitter and didn't know what to say.
