When I got out of the hotel, I didn't see the man chasing after me. Yang Lin and Shi Qian didn't go any further, and returned to the inn. On the way, Yang Lin was reminiscing about the duke, but let him come up with something. This man had met with him, but he was not a familiar person. That Zou Yuan Zou Run's uncle and nephew are even more familiar with this duke, this person seems to be surnamed Ding, commonly known as Ding Liu.

Until after the lights were on, Yang Lin Shi Qian was looking at the simple map of Dongping Mansion in the room facing the lampstand, and suddenly the door was knocked, Yang Lin immediately put away the map, Shi Qian came over to open the door, and asked who the person was. But as soon as the door opened, a figure squeezed in, looking at Yang Lin and bowing.

When Yang Lin looked at it, it was none other than the public man he met in the hotel, who only changed all his clothes, and was no longer dressed as a public person. The man bowed up, leaned to Yang Lin's side, and whispered, "How did my brother come here?" is still on the same road as the flea on the drum, isn't it also on Liangshanbo? Yang Lin was stunned for a moment and couldn't answer anything.

When Shi Qian, who came back from closing the door, heard this, he almost didn't pull out the knife. I'm dressed up like this, how can I make people recognize my true face? But there was only a brocade leopard Yang Lin in the eyes of the visitor, and when Shi Qian saw such an act, he couldn't guess it, and he killed himself in his stomach, and he didn't ask questions, and he looked at what he did.

Yang Lin was under the light at the moment, looked at the man carefully, got up and took the man's arm, and asked, "Aren't you Ding Liulang?" How can you say that my brother is a drum flea of Liangshanbo? So he sat him down and spoke.

Ding Liulang refused, only said: "In front of my brother, the villain should stand." "Yang Lin has a very good relationship with Zou Yuan and Zou Run's uncle and nephew, and the two uncles and nephews of the Zou family still want to call Yang Lin a brother, Ding Liu thinks that he is Zou Yuan and Zou Run's little brother, and he has received the great favor of Zou Yuan's uncle and nephew, but he doesn't dare to take Yang Lin big. After asking Yang Lin to say it a few times, Ding Liulang sat down and said: "Brother Rong said: The villain was eating and drinking in the hotel during the day, and he saw you at a glance. At first, he didn't recognize this stone collar. But I went to Huainan on official business the month before last and saw the portrait there with my own eyes. When I looked at you, I also saw the face of the stone collar, and I felt a little similar at first. "Shi Qian's character, wearing a brocade robe, is not an outsider.

"The villain also knows his brother's name in the rivers and lakes in the past, although he doesn't know his brother's traces recently, he can't help but think of the rivers and lakes and green forests, so he also recognizes this stone collar."

Shi Qian on the side heard that he wanted to drop his head, and his identity was so leaked. Yang Lin couldn't cry or laugh, he didn't think it would be like this.

Ding Liulang continued: "There were many people in the hotel, and the villain didn't dare to call out at that time. When you walked out of the store, the villain got up and followed from a distance, and when he saw you coming in, the villain recognized himself. Stay late and change into this dress, but come to see you. ”

"I don't want you to be so good!" Yang Lin sincerely admired him.

Ding Liulang smiled and said: "Don't dare to be a compliment for my brother!" May I ask my brother, is it really a top chair in Liangshanbo? If you sit in Liangshan and trade, you can enjoy peace. How to come here again? Yang Lin briefly told Ding Liulang that Ding Liulang was shocked when he heard it, "I don't want that Dong Dujian to cause such a catastrophe for Fucheng." "I only heard that Liang Shanbo had no intention of destroying the city and destroying the government, so I was at ease.

"The villain felt the kindness of the Zou family in front of him, fortunately he did not die evilly, he had to have today, and he dared to forget his kindness in his heart at any moment. My brother has a good relationship with my uncle and nephew, and he is a little benefactor. Liangshanbo has a huge reputation, if Lu Yu Hou raises troops to kill, everyone knows, how can there be any officials who are not wary of the meticulous work in the city? If you have any instability here, it is better for you to go to my house and settle down. It is also good that the villain can offer some tea and rice, and talk about a little sincerity. ”

The feelings on Yang Lin's face were a little more sincere, and he knew that Ding Liu was reassuring them. Yang Lin and Shi Qian are both men of the rivers and lakes, and when they arrive at the Ding family, they don't hold the life and death of the Ding family in their hands. Ding Liu accepted the 'vote'.

Jin Leopard opened his mouth and said: "Liulang and go back, thank you for this kindness, but you will pay attention to it tomorrow." Ding Liu is righteous, and he Yang Lin is not ambiguous. Get up and go. Yang Lin sent him outside the room, but saw him go quietly. Shi Qian said: "This person is good. Although he is a public man, he has never been ungrateful, but it is also rare! ”

When they saw that it was not early, they closed the door and slept peacefully.

In the next few days, Yang Lin Shiqian and his subordinates all moved to the vicinity of Ding's house, but this generation has Ding Liu patrolling on weekdays. When Lu Qian waited for the army to go straight to the palace city to kill, it really had a different atmosphere. The inns and inns in the city are all investigated one by one; Recently, there are those who are renting houses, and they also need to be investigated.

If it weren't for Ding Liu's care, Yang Lin, Shi Qian and dozens of people under him, it would be hard to say that no one would show their feet.

The city wall of Dongping Mansion is less than three zhang high, and it is very small compared to the high-rise buildings of later generations. But in an era when everything depended on manpower, it was also a big task to pile up a mound three feet high, especially to guard against arrows from the head of the city.

In this process, Dongping Mansion did not stand still, first selected young people in the city to go to the city in batches to help defend it, and then asked for help again and again. This is Dong Ping's attention.

On the day that Lu Qian led the army to arrive, he didn't know how many headless posts were shot into the city.

The post reads:

Lu Qian, the leader of the Liangshan Bo Righteous Army, showed Dongping Mansion and announced to the world: Now the Great Song Dynasty is abusing officials to take charge, polluting the dictatorship, beating good people to death, and destroying all surnames. Dong Ping, the supervisor of the soldiers and horses of Erfu, burned eighteen miles of shop, and the grass was disrespectful to people's lives, and my cottage hated it deeply. Now I tell the second class, if I survive and sacrifice my husband to the thief, I will not be disturbed; If you don't, cover up the evil culprit, and ignore the conscience of the people, my cottage will break through the Dongping Mansion and hate with one heart. At that time, people and soldiers will be everywhere, and jade and stones will be burned. Heaven and earth are blessed, and ghosts and gods are blessed. Destroy treachery and foolishness.

Righteous husbands and women, filial sons and grandsons, good righteous and good people, prudent officials, do not be frightened, and each has a safe occupation. The public is aware.

When Cheng Wanli saw it, he was so frightened that his soul flew out of the sky and scattered into the sky. Immediately called Dong Ping to discuss: "How to dissect this matter?" ”

When Dong Ping saw this, he naturally scolded Liangshanbo for his wolf's heart, and immediately said: "What is the ability of this gang of grass robbers to attack the city and break the mansion?" Why bother thinking about it. This thief came to the city, although the matter was urgent, but he also left the lair without permission, but it was also a good time to take the opportunity to exterminate this gang of thieves. Xiang Gong can repair the urgent letter, send his confidants, catch up with the Beijing division in the starry night, and report to Cai Taishi and Gao Taiwei that they know that they will play the famous court early, dispatch elite soldiers, and come to the rescue, which is the best policy. Second, it is necessary to report to neighboring prefectures and counties, and also to dispatch troops as soon as possible. Third, the people in the city sent their husbands to the city, assisted together, guarded the city, prepared wooden cannon stones, stepped on crossbows and hard bows, gray bottles of gold juice, and prepared for dawn and night. So you can be sure. ”

Later, he said: "Dong is not talented, he has a lot of food, and he has no merit to repay his virtue, so he is willing to work hard for dogs and horses, lead the army and soldiers, and swear to defend the city to the death." If the grass does not come to attack the city, don't discuss. If that gang of strong men is exhausted and rashly attacks the city, it is not the young general's boastful words, and this thief will not return. Report the grace of the country, stretch out the ambition of what you have learned in your life, be brave and courageous, and serve the country loyally. ”

This Dong Yibang now has no heart to peek at Cheng Wanli's beautiful daughter. Dong Ping has a sense of crisis now, and this headless official letter from Liangshan simply nailed him to the pillar of shame. At the moment, he can't pass this level, his life is not guaranteed, but he is in no mood to think about the people in the room anymore.

However, the strategy given by Dong Ping is still decent, Cheng Wanli is a pure scholar, not good at military affairs, but he is lacking in military talk on paper. Otherwise, Tong Guan would have taken him with him earlier, how would he have been released as an official?

Don't look at Tong Guan as a staff member, it sounds good without the prefect, but the future is even greater. Tong Guan has been at the peak of his life in the past few years, accumulating credit under him, and when the northwest truces, it is not impossible to release a pacification envoy or even a transfer envoy.

In this martial arts, Cheng Wanli relied on Dong Ping very much. The national disaster thinks of a good general, and he is talking about his journey.

According to Dong Ping's suggestion, Cheng Wanli, in addition to investigating the spies, was to organize young people to go to the city to assist the defenders, but the result was very unsatisfactory.

In order for Qingzhuang to play a role in defending the city, in addition to the strong appeal of officials, he needs a team of officials with skyrocketing organizational skills. They can either play a pioneering role, or they can suppress the thorns in the youth. But these are greatly inferior to the officials of Dongping Mansion. In fact, the vast majority of Northern Song Dynasty officials at this time did not have this ability.

Try to see the communication between the two Song Dynasty [official history], the Central Plains does not know how many famous cities and counties, easily broken by the Jin soldiers, the second siege of Tokyo, from beginning to end the Jin soldiers failed to completely occupy the entire Tokyo City, it was the old Zhao family who tied their hands and feet, and put a chain around their necks, and personally handed them over to the hands of the Jin soldiers. The prince and princess, with both hands in the enemy camp; The emperor rode to the Jin soldiers' camp to surrender. Countless amounts of money and food were sent to the enemy by themselves. In the end, it can only be slaughtered by others, and there is no power to fight back. As long as there is a little fighting spirit, the millions of people in Tokyo will not fall into the miserable situation of Jingkang's shame. In fact, during the Two Song Dynasty, only the 250-day-long Taiyuan Defensive Battle was able to mobilize the masses and mobilize the people. Wang Yu and Zhang Xiaochun, who was the prefect of Taiyuan at the time, did not have much prestige, but their attitude of insisting on resistance was not shaken, and this was the largest and most powerful weapon of the defenders in the siege war.

As far as the current Dongping Mansion is concerned, many gentry and ordinary people are willing to hand over Dong Ping in exchange for peace. Even if it was that journey, I didn't think so in my heart. It's just that he can't do it and can't do it. How can you organize the youth of the city?

Yang Lin and Shi Qian's task is not troublesome, they just want to set up a few fires in one night when the panic atmosphere in the city is at its peak. Yes, dwellings cannot be burned; But the restaurant can always burn, right? The granary in the house can't be burned, but the forage field can be burned, right? If not, so many places of interest in Quancheng can be burned, right?

Lu Qian was very ready to learn from the practice of the Jin soldiers in the official history when they went to Tokyo, and the army stood at a city gate, but the soldiers and horses did not enter the city. asked that Cheng Wanli to obediently deliver the money and food to himself. If Dong Ping's life hadn't been lost in the battle of the city gate, Lu Qian wouldn't have the strength to insist on his life. But no one can say for sure, maybe he will change his mind again in a few days. I'm a knife and a fish, that's how cool it is.
