On the second day of November, after investigation, most of the Jin army had withdrawn. The remaining one has retreated to Wannian County on the edge of the river. This puzzled the Hujie generals, since they wanted to retreat, why did they leave another one? Didn't Mu Han think that a single soldier and horse in the district could contain the 80,000 horse infantry troops under the jurisdiction of the Yongxing Army's Road Shuai? Then he's too naïve, right?

On this day, Xu Wei reported the news of the retreat of the Jin army to Li Gang, the Xuanfu Division. Hundreds of thousands of people in Chang'an heard the news and ran to shout, ecstatic! After a three-month siege and strong attack, Beiyi was finally helpless against Chang'an, which was strong and powerful! The excited people set off the firecrackers and fireworks that were originally going to be used for the New Year in advance, and took out the little food left at home and the treasured bacon to cook it, so that they could celebrate their lives! Those with solid family backgrounds have not forgotten who saved their lives, and they have bought wine and food to comfort the soldiers who defend the city. Hu Maochang united a large number of businessmen, invested 100,000 yuan, and collected a lot of materials to send to the camp to express his gratitude.

Li Gang was also very pleased, and decided to hold a banquet in the Xuanfu Division on the evening of the second day of the new year, and invited the officials of the department to celebrate. He informed Shuai Si early and asked Xu Wei and the meritorious generals to attend the banquet. Chang'an City was full of lights and joy for a while, and some people even wanted to organize forces to dig through the Longshou Canal. After drinking bitter and salty well water for months, I had enough! Now I can still drink a bowl of water, and I don't change the elixir and jade liquid!

The siege of Chang'an has finally been lifted, and both the government and the people are happy!

In the Shuai Si Flower Hall, Xu Weizheng was chatting and laughing with Wang Shu, who came on behalf of the Xuanfu Division. He came to invite Xu Wei to the banquet tonight on behalf of Li Gang, and the word has already arrived, maybe Wang Ju is too excited and reluctant to leave. Instead of staying for tea, this chat lasted for half an hour.

"Xuan Xiang said that he doesn't drink alcohol in ordinary times. But tonight, I must accompany Xu Jingxiao to have a good drink! Get drunk! The official reminded Xuanfu Xianggong at the time, I said that Xu Jingluo was born in a family of Xingwu, and he was a general with troops, and Xuanxiang's alcohol consumption was compared with others, I am afraid that he did not pour down the Zijin Tiger, and he drilled the table first. Guess what, what did Xuan Xiang say? Wang Shu was overjoyed.

Xu Wei was also in high spirits, thought about it, and asked, "Did Xuan Xiang say that he should sleep under the table first, get up and drink?" ”

"Haha! It's really a little bit of a public guess! Xuan Xiang is exactly what he said, dare to love him and want to make an all-nighter! This official has worked with Xuan Xiang for several years, but he has never seen him like this! Wang Shu laughed.

"Let's go, give up my life to accompany the gentleman! However, I have to bring the handfuls of birds with the best alcohol in the army, and if Xuanxiang is really overturned, there are also people who will carry it. Xu Wei said seriously.

The laughter in the flower hall continued, and when the atmosphere was deep, a soldier reported outside: "Dashuai, there is a team of people coming from the east, claiming to be a member of the Tokyo Left-behind Division, Wu Lan has already experienced and understood his identity, please ask for permission to go?" ”

At present, although the Jin army has withdrawn, the martial law in Chang'an City has not ended, and it is not allowed to enter and exit. Xu Wei listened, since he was a member of the left-behind division and verified his identity, how could there be any reason not to let him go? He ordered the other party to be let into the city.

Wang Shu stood up and arched his hand: "Xu Jingluo, it's decided, you must arrive at night." ”

"Thunder doesn't move, rain or shine! Wang Ju don't worry! Please Xuan Xiang move out all his 'Jiannan Burning Spring', and I will be responsible for solving it! Xu Weilang said.

Wang Shu then said goodbye and left, and as soon as he left, Xu Wei was not idle. instructed his own soldiers to get half of the melons, fruits, vegetables and vegetables sent by Hu Maochang into a half car, and then go to buy some gifts and gifts, but no one brought them, so he let a few soldiers drive the car and go out of the marshal's mansion with him.

Walking in the city of Chang'an, but seeing the people as lively as the New Year. Adults laughing and children frolicking can be seen everywhere. On the way, a few naughty boys even threw the cannon in front of Xu Wei's horse, startling the BMW that Xu Yuan had exchanged with him, and almost throwing him down.

When the child's parents saw it, they were so shocked that they recognized who was riding the horse, grabbed the child and pressed it on the thigh, and dragged it to Xu Wei to make amends. How can a person who is quite big be as knowledgeable as a doll?

Walk through the streets and alleys, and finally stop in front of a mansion. This is the residence of the Taiwei Planter. In the past three months, Xu Wei has wanted to visit this senior in the army more than once, but he is entangled in military affairs first, and he doesn't know what to say when he comes to see him. If the lieutenant asked, did the Jurchens retreat? How to answer?

When the people in the mansion heard that it was the handsome Xu Jingluo, they quickly reported to the mansion and invited Xu Weihua Hall to wait for tea.

"After a little justice, my captain is changing clothes, please sit down." Xu Wei was about to drink tea when a servant came to report.

When Xu Wei heard this, how can this be done? The Lieutenant is sick, and the weather is cold in this winter month, the old man is the most sad, how can he let the Lieutenant move lightly? So he ordered the servant to lead the way, and went to lie down to meet him in person.

Outside the room, the servant shouted inside: "Taiwei, Xu Jingluo has arrived." ”

"Is it Ziang?" A voice came from the room, which made Xu Wei listen to it, and his heart was tense at that time. Why isn't this voice a little angry? Hurriedly crossed the threshold and entered the house to see, Zijin Tiger was stunned.

At the beginning of the Dingrong War, among the seed masters who were not old and their majesty was undiminished, they became sick like this! I haven't seen him for a few months, he doesn't know how many pounds he has lost, his cheeks are sunken, his cheekbones are protruding, and his eye sockets have fallen in! With his hair disheveled and his eyes blank, he was standing in front of his bed, and an old servant was dressing him. But Xu Wei clearly saw that the two feet of the Taiwei were shaking constantly, obviously struggling to stand!

hurriedly took a few steps forward and stopped: "The captain has tormented his humble duties!" Rest! ”

A smile appeared on the face of the planter, waved away the old servant, slowly sat on the bed hole, and sighed: "The old man heard that the Jin army has retreated!" Okay, you Xu Ziang, you do have your father's demeanor! ”

When Xu Wei heard this, when he was depressed, he heard the Taiwei say again: "No! You are worthy of your Father today. Xu Zhang fought with me back then, and when my father defeated 80,000 Xia troops in Wudingchuan, he was the vanguard. At that time, the old man was arguing with him, and he almost didn't make a move in the festival. Your father was so arrogant that he wanted to teach me how to fight! Ha ha! As soon as the battle was over, he invited me to eat and drink, and gave me a saber from the enemy chieftain. Alas, when I think about it, it's like yesterday. We, the old guys, are all finished, fortunately, there are juniors like you. Okay, wow, put 20,000 troops into your hands, the old man can close his eyes! ”

Xu Wei's heart was sour when he heard this, and he deliberately said: "With my father's temperament, in that battle, the Taiwei must have also made a great contribution to capturing the flag. My father was not a man who gave in easily. ”

The planter laughed so hard that he couldn't move: "Not bad! In that battle, the old man led the elite cavalry through the enemy formation! Directly led to the rout of the Xia army! Otherwise, with your Lao Tzu's temper, you won't bird me! Ha ha! ”

This man, especially a soldier, is still unsatisfied when he talks about the scenery when he used to serve the country. Because they consider it the highest glory! But Xu Wei was worried about his body, besides, the weather was so cold, and the lieutenant was seriously ill, why didn't he even have a brazier in the room? Presumably due to the shortage of materials.

Then he instructed the old servant who was with him, "I have brought some coal, and you should go and make a stove." ”

The old servant, apparently very happy, trotted out of the room, and in a short time came in with the fire, and the whole room was immediately warm. The planter no longer insisted, and lay on the bed with his clothes closed, leaning against the pillow and talking to Xu Wei. He first inquired in detail about the battle, and when he heard that the Jin people had obtained the Song army's equipment making method and used a large number of siege weapons to attack, he was so angry that he scolded Zhang Shen! said that it was a shame that this guy was still working under the command of the planter at the beginning, but he was such a young and shameless person! Such a traitor who betrays his country and seeks glory, heaven will accept him!

Hearing that Wang Yu jumped off the building to curb the Jin Jun goose car, he was very proud and praised that Wang Yu was indeed a rare general! The study of city defense tactics is very deep, and you can rely on it to do great things!

When he heard Xu Wei say that he used firearms to restrain Jin Jun, he expressed doubts again, how could there be such a power as firearms? Are you talking about firearms? It's clearly a thunderstorm!

Xu Wei chatted with him for a long time, and the old lady kept his interest high. Xu Jiu even felt that the other party's face had even improved a little.

"By the way, Xu Jiu, even if Mu Han can't attack the city, he can continue to besiege without attacking. In Chang'an City, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, and there will always be a day when the mountains are empty. Why should he be in such a hurry to retreat? The seed master suddenly asked, what is the veteran of the battlefield, and he can't hide anything.

"According to the estimation of the younger generation, perhaps Jingyuan Xu Jingluo sent troops to attack Yan'an, and the soldiers who were withdrawn by Sticky Han." Xu Wei guessed. Although the situation is unclear at this time, this is the only plausible explanation.

After hearing this, the planter nodded: "It's possible." After a pause, he shook his head and sighed, "The Western Army and the party have been fighting for hundreds of years with the Qing and Tang Dynasty Zhuqiang, and the Great Song Dynasty is second to none in terms of combat power." It's a pity that the fierce soldiers are easy to be arrogant, and the commanders of all roads are not subordinate to each other, whether Li Xuanfu or He Shaobao, they can't suppress the heroes and unify the command. Otherwise, how can the Jurchens be allowed to go wild? I forgot to ask you, what is your official assignment now? ”

"Quan Yongxingjun's road is slightly appeased." Xu Wei replied.

The seed master pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Although the Jin army has temporarily retreated, the situation in Shaanxi is still sinister. With the foothold of Yan Yan, Jin Ren can swing his command at any time. Chang'an is located in the plains, and the field battle is not at my advantage, and your situation is still passive. Before, I suggested that Li Xuanfu let you take charge of Qin Feng Shuaiyin. Qinfeng Road governs the Qinlong Prefectures, leading the Fengxiang Mansion, which has been a place of strong soldiers since ancient times, and the terrain is dangerous, and the people are fierce. The old man used to be Qin Fengshuai, and it is no exaggeration to say that Qin Feng has the best source of soldiers in the world! The people of Qin Long, with Han style and Tang rhyme, have not diminished in hundreds of years! In addition to the regular army, the rest of the soldiers, strong, archery clubs, and loyal patrol clubs have rich combat experience! It's a pity that since the old man led the army to Qinwang, aided Bianjing, saved Taiyuan, and Qin Fengbing died countless in a foreign land. The current Qin Fengshuai Zhao Dian, in name only, is not enough to succeed. The old man hopes that in his lifetime, with some fame in Qin Feng, he will help you get on the horse and give you a ride. Helpless, Li Xuanfu finally decided to stick to Chang'an. ”

"Taiwei is a veteran of the army, and all the generals of the Western Army are looking forward to Taiwei returning to the mountain and presiding over the overall situation. How old is it to be late? Xu Wei replied.

The planter smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Like the old man, how many days do you have to live?" Whether it will survive this harsh winter is still unknown. I have fought all my life, killing people like hemp, and I have long despised life and death. It's just hateful, he failed to fulfill his brother's last wish and drove Beiyi out of the country! ”

At this point, the old lady was a little emotional: "Xu Jiu, my family has been guarding the west for several generations since the Qingjian was built in the city. But it can be passed on to the present, and there is no successor. Your father followed his father in the early years of the war, and he was given by his father to unpack his armor. Speaking of which, the Xu family has a deep relationship with the seed family, and when the first brother passed away, there was a letter to me, praising you for your courage and loyalty! Ziang, the old man handed over the 20,000 parts to you, hoping that you can continue to do what we have not competed for. The old man's departure is not far away, and you have to come to visit him when he is dying, which is enough to see. During this time, you were the only one who stepped through the door of my house. ”

Xu Wei is not a person who will be easily moved, but at this time, he has mixed feelings in his heart. When he first met the seed master, he was very encouraged by the other party's earnest teaching and ardent expectations. The letter he wrote before his death, he carried it with him and read it often, which can be said to have benefited him a lot.

Now, the seed division of Zhongfei not only rushed to the aid of the Xu brothers during the Battle of Dingrong, but also handed over his troops to his command after entering Chang'an. even thought about helping him to Qin Feng's handsome position and sending him off. How should he deal with this affection?

Xu Weiwan resigned from the planter's stay, he couldn't bear to see a famous general who had been on the battlefield all his life sick in bed. When he came out of the plantation, he was panicked and had no interest. After walking aimlessly for a while, he decided to go home.

Who knew that he didn't go far, and he bumped into Du Feihu with soldiers and horses. When asked, it was Li Xuanfu who was urgently called. It's weird, isn't the banquet at night? Why are you looking for me in such a hurry? At that moment, he turned his horse's head and went straight to Xuanfu Division.

As soon as he got there, Xu Wei ran into Zhang Bin from the Transshipment Division. The latter also jokingly asked, "How?" Xu Dashuai can't wait to drink the celebration wine? ”

Xu Wei was not very interested, he just smiled, and the two of them went hand in hand and went to the yamen. As soon as I bypassed the Zhaobi, I found that Wan Qian was walking in front of me, and Zhang Bin was about to say hello, when a voice sounded behind him: "Governor Xu!" Judge Zhang! Looking back, it was the official of Jingzhao Mansion.

Xu Wei suddenly felt that something was wrong, and Li Xuanfu urgently summoned me, which was already special. I am the commander of the department, and I don't have any major military information, why are you looking for me in such a hurry? And now, he even summoned the officials of Cao Si, Xian Si, and Jingzhao Mansion, what is the matter with such a battle? If you have military intelligence, you have no reason not to know about it, right?

The colleague next to him was talking about something, but he didn't care at all, and just walked into the lobby of the Xuanfu Division. As soon as I entered, I found that there was a lot of people. The Xuanfu Division, the Criminal Division, the Transshipment Division, the Changping Division, the Jingzhao Mansion, and the Jingzhao Mansion, plus their own Jingluo Pacification Division, are all complete!

Obviously, these people didn't know the purpose of Li Xuanfu's emergency summons, and they were whispering and talking to each other. As soon as he entered, many officials gathered around him. Someone asked, "Xu Jingluo, what's going on?" Did the Jurchens turn back again? ”

Xu Wei shook his head and did not speak. This made the officials of various ministries in Shaanxi even more puzzled, Xuanfu Xianggong was so anxious, almost all the officials in charge were summoned, what else could there be besides military intelligence? Feast in advance? It's not like ah, how can there be a banquet in the public court? Besides, what about the food and drinks?

"Xuanxiang is here." While they were talking, someone whispered.

The noise stopped, Li Gang turned out of the hall, and with him came out an official who was about forty years old. Judging from the green official uniform he was wearing, this person's grade was not high, but it was certain that he was not from the Shaanxi Zhusi. Xu Wei knew that this person was afraid that this person was the dispatcher of the Tokyo Left-behind Division who entered the city earlier.

Li Gang and this person were all full of solemnity, and after arriving in the lobby, Li Gang sat on his head, but the man stood next to the desk, bowing his head and saying nothing.

Raising his head and looking around at all the officials at the scene, Li Gang's lips moved, but he didn't say anything. He didn't even let the officials take their seats. For a long time, the whole hall was in a depressing atmosphere, and all the officials were confused, not knowing what he wanted to do.

After a long time, Li Gang stood up, and he supported the desk with both hands, as if he was a little struggling. Xu Wei noticed that his expression was different, and he seemed to be absent-minded. When he was puzzled, he sat down and went back and whispered something. The official standing next to the official desk nodded, then took a step forward and bowed: "Ladies and gentlemen, the lower official is ordered by the Tokyo Left-behind Division to serve as a proclamator. ”

The proclamation envoy was also one of the many "envoys" in the Song Dynasty, who was in charge of inspecting the place and announcing the will.

"A few days ago, the Tokyo Left-behind Division has received an edict from Zhenjiang Xingzai. Song Jin had reached a peace agreement and declared a truce. ”

As soon as the words came out, the whole house was shocked! What's that? Reaching a peace agreement? Really? Why don't we know? But after being surprised, the officials were also a little happy, and the peace was good, and the peace was good, since the truce was made, then there would be no war, and peace was important!

Xu Wei took two steps forward without a trace, stood at the front, tilted his head and stared at the messenger, and his sharp eyes saw that the other party was a little panicked.

"I came to Shaanxi to convey the order of the Tokyo Left-behind Division. Now that the Song-Jin peace agreement has been reached, it is necessary to stop fighting and stop fighting. Before entering the city, Xiaguan had already been to the Jin camp, and the prime minister of the Dajin Kingdom had withdrawn his troops......"

As soon as he said this, Xu Wei asked coldly, "Where to retreat?" ”

The messenger was stared at by him, and he forced himself to calm down: "I have retreated to Tongzhou." ”

"Why don't you retreat across the Yellow River?" Xu Wei asked again. His question caused a chorus, yes, since the truce and the war, why not withdraw from Shaanxi?

The messenger did not dare to answer for a moment, because he saw that the Purple Golden Tiger's right hand was tightly gripping the hilt of the sword. Although he knew that Xu Wei would not be able to give him a knife, he still had a heart hanging in his heart. I have long heard of Xu Jiu's prestige. The nephew who stayed behind in Xianggong has been on an expedition to the east and west in the past few years, and has built a great reputation, and even the Jurchens are afraid of him. It's no wonder that he's not in a hurry to hear it.
