Manu had already taken 5,000 men and horses to attack Yongqing.

Compared with Wuqing City, Yongqing is farther away from Anci, poorer, and has fewer households. However, Wuqing City is the elbow of the old Liaojinggi, the key point of the eight states, and it is the location of the old Liaohe Xiwu. Wuqing "has the Lu River on the left, the Hunhe River in the west," and the three grain transportation rivers dug by the Empress Dowager Xiao flow into the Lu River from here.

Wuqing is located in the key chong, the goods from the north and south gather here, the sails in the Luhe River cover the sky when it is busy, all things are in the dynasty, a prosperous scene, of course, rich.

However, the local wealthy clan also gathered a lot of men and horses to guard it, and Agu Zhe was in a hurry to go south, so he chose Yongqing, which was more remote and barren. Yongqing is located at the forefront of the Song-Liao border, next to the three passes of the Great Song Dynasty, the old Liao defenders have long since run away, and Yongqing City is naturally easy to attack.

Aguzhe had just sent off Manu here, and a personal soldier hurriedly ran in and said in a panic: "General, they ...... They're back! ”

Aguzhen Nahan asked, "Why did you just send troops and come back?" ”

The pro-soldier hurriedly said: "It's not General Manu, it's the people who fled to Jizhou who have returned, and they are now waiting in the north of the city." ”

Aguzhe asked strangely, "Didn't they go to Jizhou?" How did you come back again? What about Aunt Xi? "Xi Ligu is the leader of Manu's arrangement to flee to Jizhou with these 3,000 people, and she is also a partner who grew up with Aguzhe since childhood. Manu had already told him about arranging for Xi Ligu to lead people to Jizhou, so Agu Zhe asked about Xi Ligu.

"Aunt Xi is seriously injured and is still waiting outside the city." The soldier replied.

Hearing that Xi Ligu was seriously injured, Agu Zhe didn't bother to ask the soldier who reported the news again, went to the courtyard, led a horse, and went straight to the north gate.

When he came to the north gate, Agu Zhe threw his whip and dismounted, first went to the city wall, came to the edge of the city wall, and looked down, only to see two or three thousand people outside the city gate standing on the ground, some sitting, some lying, but not standing. Everyone looked weak, much more embarrassed than the Manu people.

"Where's Aunt Xi?" When Agu Zhe saw that the soldiers of his clan had fallen into such a field, he couldn't help but be furious and shouted to the city.

Hearing the voice of Aguzhe on the city wall, these people under the city were like a pool of water blown by the wind, and only then did they fluctuate a little. A lying man in the middle of the crowd struggled to get up, but was held up by the people around him, picked up from the ground, and reluctantly replied, "Aguzhe, I ...... At! ”

Agu Zhe looked at it fixedly, only to see that his head was full of basil, his clothes were ragged, and he couldn't stand steadily, and his body was leaning forward, it was Xi Ligu who took three thousand soldiers to Jizhou to hide.

"Open the door!" Seeing that Xi Ligu was seriously injured, Agu Zhe hurriedly asked to open the city gate. Put these soldiers into the city.

The soldiers who had fled had just entered the city gates and were reluctant to go any further, and lay staggered on the side of the street. Agu Zhe hurried to Xi Ligu's side and asked, "But did you meet Wan Shengjun?" How do you get hurt? ”

"The Great Emperor...... Don't stay, and said...... Said that we Mei only had a private ...... Transporting grain, returning to ...... Tribal ......," Xi Ligu said intermittently, "said...... If there is surplus food, what is the use of help?! Let's ...... Looking for Wan Shengjun...... Snatching the Grain...... ...... eating"

"How did you get this injury?" Agu Zhe heard a rough idea from Xi Ligu's words and asked hurriedly.

"The Great Emperor...... Blame me...... If you leave the Xianghe River without permission, you will be punished with a cane ......"

Agu Zhe walked around behind Xi Ligu, and sure enough, he saw that Xi Ligu's back was covered with dark red blood stains, staining his robe, but he didn't have time to change it, so he dragged it here.

"I, Mei Zhibu, am not your slave, I dare to deceive my people like this!" Agu Zhe said hatefully, and said to the people around him, "Quickly carry Xi Ligu to the room and find a doctor for treatment!" ”

After a few people sent Xi Ligu away, Agu Zhe carefully asked the soldiers lying on the ground: "What did Xiao Gan say?" ”

A soldier stood up from the ground and said: "I didn't see the emperor, only Xi Ligu went in, and then it was the people around the emperor who drove Xi Ligu out, saying that our Mei only department did not follow the rules of the emperor, secretly hid grain and grass, and smuggled it to his own tribe." In front of us, he beat up Xi Ligu, saying that he wanted us to come to the general for dinner. ”

"It turns out that the one who killed my five hundred soldiers was eight catties in the second room!" Listening to the soldier's words, Agu Zhe immediately thought of the killing of the 500 soldiers he had sent to deliver food in the ravine north of Jingzhou. On the boundary of Jingzhou, Jingzhou is the territory of eight catties in room B. Now Xiao Gan can actually know about his smuggling of grain and grass, and the only explanation is that Room B robbed and killed his own people, and then told Xiao Gan about his smuggling of grain and grass to the Hui clan, and Xiao Gan will now say that he has surplus grain here, and he doesn't need to help.

Thinking of the last time I sent someone to borrow food from Xiao Gan, Xiao Gan didn't say a word, didn't reply, killed his own soldiers, and then robbed eighty truckloads of grain, it must have been done by this bastard in Room B!

"If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!" Now that Agu Zhe knows the murderer of his soldiers, and thinks that he is indifferent and ruthless, and he works for him, sooner or later he will be harmed by his own plum. Fortunately, he had already thought of a countermeasure, and when Manu opened the passage, he would raise his army and stay away from here, so that Wanshengjun could find Xiao Gan to fight. He still takes people back to his own tribe, even if he goes away with his clansmen, he will never work for Xiao Gan anymore.

Aguzhe knew that these soldiers who had entered the city had not eaten at all in the past few days, and they had fled from Jizhou hungry, so they were busy making people boil some porridge and drinking some hot soup and rice first.

"I've been hungry for a long time, don't eat too much at once, I'll have it tomorrow." Agu Zhe didn't forget to tell a few words, in fact, he himself knew that the grain and grass in Anci City were almost gone, and now that there were more than 3,000 people, they couldn't eat for a few days, and it seemed that Yongqing had to be laid down as soon as possible.

Aguzhe returned to his room with a heavy heart, hungry and waiting for news from Manu. If all goes well, it should be heard back by the evening.

Sure enough, in the evening, Manu himself returned. As soon as he entered the door, he cried and said to Agu Zhe: "General, Yongqing City has been occupied by the Wansheng army. ”

Agu Zhe hurriedly said: "Isn't it that the day before yesterday, the Wansheng Army hadn't attacked Yongqing yet?" Why was it robbed by Wan Shengjun today? ”

Manu said: "After I brought people over, I was about to send people to attack, when I saw the banner of the Wansheng army erected on the city wall, and the cavalry of the Wansheng army was paraded outside the city in the distance. ”

When Aguzhe heard that Manu had been stopped by Wan Shengjun, he sat on a chair and did not speak for a long time. Manu thought that Agu Zhe blamed himself for not taking Yongqing City, so he said: "Since Yongqing has been occupied, it is better for me to take more people tomorrow morning and go east to Wuqing, there will always be a place for our Mei Zhibu to stay." ”

Agu Zhe sighed and said, "Xiao Gan refused to accept our three thousand soldiers, and scolded Xi Ligu with a cane, and rushed back. ”

Only then did Manu know the reason why Agu Zhe was bored, and when he heard that Xi Ligu hadn't beaten him yet, he said angrily: "General, from now on, our Mei Department will be cut off with Xiao Gan, and our Mei Department will no longer recognize him as Emperor Xi Wang." ”

Agu Zhe nodded and said: "Pass the order, tomorrow at noon, the whole army will set off, march east to Wuqing, and no longer guard the south for him Xiao Gan." ”
