Just as Han Qi was about to go to Miaojiazhuang, the abnormal movements of the rebels made him finally cancel the trip.

Miaojiazhuang is very close to Baozhou, but now their strength is far from completely overwhelming the rebels, what if when he leaves, the rebels are dispatched and cause losses!

Several movements of the rebels, turning Baozhou into a blank land, this loss aside, the Yunlong army was defeated, after the rout of the army, barely collected less than 1,000 people, an elite forbidden army of 2,500 people, actually lost 6 percent all of a sudden, this army, basically scrapped.

Han Qi is the person concerned, he knows very well the horror of the rebels, but others don't know it, but they will think that he is shirking, in the increasingly severe form of the law change, Han Qi still thinks that he must quickly quell the rebellion and return to the capital.

Nothing is so easy, if the rebels are still in the field, the equipment, and the strength are higher than the rebels, as long as they bite the rebels, they will definitely be able to defeat the rebels, but unfortunately the other party has returned to Baozhou City.

They surrounded Baozhou City, thinking that the other party would defend themselves, but they were about to move, so they had no choice but to dispel this idea and deal with the rebels first.

The development of things is always mutual, Han Qi knew about Miaojiazhuang because of intelligence and some investigations, and correspondingly, Sun Ji also discovered the arrival of the counterinsurgency army.

From the beginning of Miaojiazhuang, where the rebels left, they boldly explored the surroundings, and a large number of imperial troops kept entering Baozhou and surrounded Baozhou City.

The imperial court judged the arrival of the army, which means that safety has come, although there are still some scattered rebels around, but it is harmless, be careful, Baozhou should be able to slowly return to normal.

This rebellion was an astonishing blow to Baozhou, which turned out to have a population of four or five hundred thousand, but after this turmoil, there were only less than 200,000, and this was still the time they saw the opportunity and escaped from Baozhou.

However, this part of the people were frightened, some of them did not have much permanent property, found work in the surrounding cities, and may not even return, and some landlords also lost their lives in this turmoil, and their fields and houses will be a troublesome thing in the future.

Because of this, the population loss of Baozhou is quite large, and the most important thing is that many clans located in Baozhou did not suffer much loss at the beginning of the Baozhou Mutiny, but in the later period, after the Wang family retreated, when cleaning up their traces, basically, they were almost wiped out.

The whole Baozhou, in this Baozhou mutiny, the loss is extremely terrible, the direct population loss, at least about 200,000, the vast majority of them, were killed by the rebel army, in the past half a month, Baozhou has experienced the darkest period, even 30 years ago the alliance of the Yuanyuan, for the destruction of Baozhou, there is not so terrible.

Baozhou's vitality was also greatly damaged, and all of a sudden, from a relatively prosperous border military state, suddenly became a barren land with countless desolate graves, proving the damage caused by the rebellion.

One news after another, especially those who were trained in the regiment and the families of the regimental training, after the imperial army entered Baozhou, began to look at the situation in their hometown, where was the scenery after being ruined.

The devastation made them dare not believe it, in order to attack Miaojiazhuang, the village where these families are located is the first batch to be ransacked, at the beginning, there are no old people, but in the later stage, an impact, especially to attract the Miaojiazhuang group to practice, but also looted the surroundings, not even villages and the like, there is no village left, everywhere is a village that was burned by fire.

The consequences of this time, let these group exercises and their families, glad that they were selected for the group exercises, look at the surrounding situation, and then look at Miaojiazhuang, at most, Zhuangzi was destroyed, even the destruction is not endless, they put out the fire in time, or saved most of the houses Now slightly corrected, plus some are under construction, they will soon, there will be new houses, they can even live and work in peace.

Perhaps, Miaojiazhuang will become the beneficiary of this Baozhou mutiny, other villages in Baozhou, and even Baozhou City itself, the population and all aspects have been greatly weakened, but on the contrary, the population of Miaojiazhuang has increased by three times.

Sun Ji kept going out to investigate, and his main investigation was who the people were sent to quell the rebellion, and what troops he brought with him.

Sun Ji has to be careful, the forces behind the scenes, in order to kill Zhao Xin, even resorted to such a trick as rebellion, what else they dare not use, in case of rash contact, taken down by the other party's backhand, using the rebellion as an excuse, directly killed, I am afraid that it will really be unjustly killed.

In order to put pressure on the rebels, Han Qi did not hide the purpose of his coming, and even openly publicized it, putting pressure on the rebels as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council.

Because none of these are hidden, Sun Ji's investigation ability is also quite high, and soon, the news that Han Qi led and Ouyang Xiu assisted came out and reported to Zhao Xin.

Han Qi, Zhao Xin frowned, for this young man who was fierce and conservative and rigid in his old age, Zhao Xin was of course impressed, this is a character that cannot be avoided in Renzong, even Yingzong and Shenzong Dynasty, and must be said.

If it is said that in the early period of Renzong, Lü Yijian was the core of all the zaifu, and Han Qi and Fu Shun together constituted the mainstay of the Northern Song Dynasty military in the following decades.

Lü Yijian is a rare evergreen tree in the Renzong Dynasty, starting from 1022 when he was appointed as the governor of the government until 1042, for 20 years, he was basically in the center, which can be said to be the power leaning side.

After Lu Yijian, neither Fan Zhongyan nor Pang Ji could do what he did, of course, Han Qi was also one of them, he was more involved in the military, and together with Fu Bi, he became the Shuangbi of the Northern Song Dynasty, which can be said to be the mainstay of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Such an important minister was sent here, and when Ouyang Xiu, who was famous in later generations, was not eye-catching, Ouyang Xiu's status in the literary world was extremely high, and he was known as the four ancient articles, among the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties, Ouyang Xiu was the earliest, and many other famous masters were his disciples.

But in terms of the political situation, Ouyang Xiu is really not good, he is still a-stirring stick, his pig teammates really don't say anything about him, even the opener of the party and government is him, and even Fan Zhong is drowned in his life, and the few stains are all related to Ouyang Xiu.

Sun Ji's purpose in mentioning Han Qi is very simple, on the one hand, the longbow and the fortress are to find a channel to send them to Renzong, there is no more suitable than Han Qi, on the other hand, the step armor, the seized close to 4000 step armor, plus the 200 they own, a total of 4200 sets Although Zhao Xin can be limited, they can't leave it, and there are a lot of them seized, two or three hundred sets more, it won't have much impact.

Only when I see Han Qi and put this thing in the open can we avoid the occurrence of some implementation, after all, more than 4,000 sets of step armor can definitely be called a hot potato in today's era.

Of course, if it really can't be said, Zhao Xin is also ready to expose his true identity, which is also the fundamental reason to dispel some of Han Qi's concerns.

Han Qi is not an ordinary person, that is Zaifu, and in the next twenty or thirty years, he has been standing in the court of the entire Northern Song Dynasty, he is the promoter of suggesting the establishment of Zhao Zongshi, and Ouyang Xiu is the same, but it was 1061, that is, nearly 20 years later, Renzong thought that the relationship between strokes and often fainted from illness and fainting, and it had reached the point where he had to stand, and in 20 years, Renzong did not leave any children.

Now, whether it is Han Qi or Ouyang Xiu, they are definitely supporters of Renzong, as young officials, they were pulled out by Jane and are in a high position, who needs to be thanked.

Since Renzong was able to send Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu out, he must be quite convinced, although Renzong has certain problems in this regard, and he cannot guarantee Zhao Xin's safety in the palace, but it does not mean that Renzong does not have the wisdom to know people, Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu are all very important to him, and they are extremely loyal.

After a simple exchange, it was decided that Sun Ji would come out and contact Han Qi.

Sun Ji as a waiting instrument, although in terms of level, there is a difference between heaven and earth with a deputy envoy of the Privy Council like Han Qi, but he is finally the most designated person in the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, besides, on duty in the palace, he has finally met Han Qi a few times, he is the most suitable, but Wang Song, who is the internal supervisor, is a little inappropriate, he is in the Shufei Palace, and his rank is not high, and there are restrictions inside and outside the palace, after all, they are young officials, and it is impossible to know anything about the palace.

Anyway, there is no problem here, after a battle with the rebels, the regimental training has been experienced, and now, there is a targeted professional training, not to mention compared with the regular army, in such a unique environment as the fortress, there is still no problem in guarding Zhao Xin's safety, in this case, Sun Ji's is of course relieved to go.

Miaojiazhuang is only 30 miles away from Baozhou, if you are fast, you can arrive in a little more than a quarter of an hour, Sun Ji knows that such a rush into the barracks, if you change to someone else to lead the troops, maybe you can, but Han Qi, no matter who it is, as long as it is not the king's order, then one word, death, even the senior generals, Han Qi, who said to kill, killed him with a waiting equipment, and it was not in the capital, what was the problem.

Death, Sun Ji is not afraid, but he is afraid of death is not clear, Han Qi's identity is above the court, there are not many people who can compare with him, Wang Deyong may be counted as the last one, but Wang Deyong is not the right time, even if Wang De uses it here, he must avoid Han Qi's edge.

Fortunately, he has experience in the northwest army, and has been in the forbidden army for more than 10 years, Sun Ji is quite familiar with many steps of the forbidden army, he carefully approached the barracks, specifically looking for the scout horse who was scouting in the periphery, explained the situation, and handed his waist card and seal letter.
