When Xiaowei talked about Chang'an City, it was July 17, Bu Wu 6, and today I didn't see the big steps, and the sky was frighteningly overcast, and it was windy. After Xu Yuan withdrew his troops, he felt that he needed to go back to Chang'an to meet with Li Gang, and at the same time bring the troops who were going to be responsible for transporting supplies.

After stopping the troops outside the city, he only brought a few guards from Du Feihu into the city. When the front foot moon stepped in, he felt that the atmosphere was wrong, how did the guards of Chang'an City do it? Why didn't you see a few soldiers in the city? In case the Jurchens came directly from the same state, they would not be caught off guard? The farther you go into the city. The more weird you feel, the more left? This is the largest metropolis in the western part of the Great Song Dynasty, with a population of hundreds of thousands, who would believe that there are so few pedestrians on the street?

A soldier was ordered to go to an old man who set up a melon and fruit stall on the side of the street to ask, and when the old man saw that he was a soldier, he first sneered and continued to say in a strange manner: "What are you still doing here?" They all went to the Xuanfu Division to petition. You know what? Guanzhong is about to die! Hey. Anyway, I'm buried in my neck. Don't be scared of anything, come to Jin pear? small

As soon as the soldier returned, Xu Wei's face changed. When the Jin army reached Tokyo by two hundred miles from the east road, the same situation was true in Beijing, and the soldiers and civilians surrounded the Xuande Gate to petition the Son of Heaven, demanding that the traitors be killed and resolutely resisted. At that time, he and Yao Pingzhong also happened to go back to the city to offer advice, but they were blocked by the people.

Fortunately, this is Chang'an, and the people don't know him. Therefore, he went straight to the direction of the Xuanfu Division for a while, and quickly separated two streets from each other, and heard the voices of people in front of him! It's like a torrential rain. Turn a street corner, and there is no way out. Because the streets are all occupied by the people, and the water is impassable! In order to avoid swagger, he and Du Feihu got off the horse. Holding the reins on foot, several guards opened the way in front, and people crowded in.

In the beginning, the people's attention was not on them, but it was nothing. When they were still more than a hundred steps away from the Yamen of the Xuanfu Division, the crowd finally showed them. Although he didn't recognize the Purple Golden Tiger, some knowledgeable people saw that he was wearing a vermilion official robe, and the royal fairy flower belt was rooted in his waist, knowing that this was Gao Shao's general, and seeing him so young, although he didn't go to "Xu Wei." I thought about it in two words, but it also blocked the way.

"Stay with each other." Judging by the appearance, this is a scholar, and he may also have fame. In his thirties, he was dignified, blocked in front of Xu Wei, and bowed.

Xu Wei looked left and right, and saw that the black pressure crowd was pressing, and countless pairs of eyes were looking at him, knowing that he couldn't easily go. He handed the reins to Du Feihu. also politely returned the salute and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Seeing the description of the prime minister, he must be an important member of the army. I have gathered here not for his sake, but for my life. Recently, it has been rumored that Jingyuan Xu Jingluo led his troops to withdraw, and the Xuanfu Division decided to retreat to Qinlong, which was full of rumors and panicked. Dare to ask the public. But is it true? "That person can still control his emotions and is more rational, but the people around him are different. Without waiting for Xu Wei to turn around, the sound of the tide was higher and higher, shaking people's ears.

Xu Wei replied in a low-key manner: "Such a big deal. How can I know? The official business is in the body, and the trouble is to make way for everyone. ”

But the scholar did not move. He saluted again: "Why should the prime minister hide it? If Xianggong doesn't know, I'm afraid no one will know

Xu Wei's expression tightened, and when he heard that there was something extraneous in his words, he asked, "Do you know who I am?" ”

The other party nodded: "I have admired it for a long time."

Now that people know your identity, you can't hide it.

Xu Wei thought about it, he was a commander in the army, and he couldn't make a statement, so he shook his head. Seeing this, the other party seemed to be in a little anxious, and was about to speak. Du Feihu suddenly stepped forward, stretched out his hand and played to the man.

Xu Wei reacted quickly. Pulling his hand back and staring at him fiercely, Du Feihu lowered his head and retreated.

The scholar was really shocked to see this. I guess I can't ask anything. There is no way to block him here, so he took out an object from his side, Xu Wei looked at it, and saw a piece of white ling, which was faintly red and clear, and it was as low as writing? When you are in doubt, listen to the reading: "Avoid the blood book written by us, and ask the prime minister to pass it on my behalf." ”

He knew who Xu Wei was, and if he brought this blood letter in, I am afraid that the effect would be better than sending it directly. Xu Wei took it with his own hand and nodded in agreement.

The man took a step back and bowed: "Ask for justice, save the people!" ”

Xu Wei held the blood letter, feeling extremely heavy. He sighed in his heart and replied, "Do your best." ”

When the scholar heard this, he turned back and advised the people around him to make way out of the way. Xu Wei and the others slowly walked forward under the gaze of countless eyes, and finally arrived in front of the Yamen of the Xuanfu Division, and the guards hurriedly came down to lead the horse. As soon as the right foot was invited up the steps, there was a muffled thunder in the sky!

Xu Wei looked back, afraid that it was going to rain.

He shouldn't have looked back this time, he was in the crowd before, and he could see him clearly after all. But now standing on the steps of Yashi, everyone can see it clearly. A voice louder than thunder in the sky roared: "This is Shaanxi Xiaoxu Jingluo!" ”

The crowd is boiling! The soldiers and civilians of Chang'an rushed forward like a rising tide, and the guards tried to block it with their guns horizontally. But two fists are hard to beat four hands, and they are rushed to the ground in a moment! Someone ran to the foot of the steps where Xu Wei was standing, and without saying a word, he knelt down directly. Without saying anything, he knocked his head up the stone steps! Damn it! Can this man hit his head over a rock? It didn't take two hits of blood to come out.

"Pick it up!" Xu Wei frowned and said, Du Feihu hurriedly flew up, and it was simply a lifting to pull the man up.

"Handsome! Be gracious! The people of Chang'an, Jingyi... Koujiang. The people of Shaanxi. It's up to the handsome! "The man was bleeding profusely. Roared in pain

Xu Wei's heart fluctuated, but his face was still calm. In front of him, countless people were calling, yelling, and even crying bitterly, and what they said could be guessed even though they could not hear it clearly. Their request is very simple, not to ask the government to give them anything, but to live and keep the land under their feet.

"The sky has eyes, Ziang came at the right time!" A trembling voice sounded behind him. Xu Wei turned around and saw that it was Wang Shu, the judge of Xuanfu. Wang Juyi had a bitter gourd appearance, but he didn't cry. As soon as he grabbed Xu Wei's hand, he pulled it in.

Entering the yamen, he gradually left the noise, but Xu Wei's heart was not calm. The bloody face still dangled in front of him,"

Wang Shu pulled him all the way directly to the second hall. This was originally the office of the officials of the Propaganda and Restoration Department. Usually there are only seven or eight people. But at this time. There are at least twenty or thirty in the hall! Packed! And all of them are not the chiefs of the departments of proclamation, preparation, transfer, and punishment.

As soon as Xu Wei was revealed, the originally fierce argument inside came to an abrupt end. But this is only temporary, and in an instant, the hall exploded! The first one to rush over was Zhang Bin from the Transfer Division, he and Xu Wei were old acquaintances, and when he came over, he also took Xu Wei's hand and said loudly: "Xu Jingluo, you came just in time!" ”

As a result, he didn't ask any substantive questions. Wan Qishang, the criminal department, rushed up again, and said excitedly: "Xu Ziang, you are handsome all the way, you say." Can you keep it? The imperial court laments a huge amount of food and salary every year, what is it used for? It's not an idler! ”

"Xu Jingluo, you say something accurate! Chang'an has to give up! ”

"What are you doing? It's an opening sentence! ”

Xu Wei looked coldly at this group of fraudulent officials, and wanted to send the blood letter written by the people. All of a sudden! He caught a glimpse of something from the cracks in the people, his face tightened, his lips opened slightly, and he struggled to separate the officials and rushed forward! Under Li Ganggong's case, there is a chair. At this time. There was a man "lying" on that chair. The chair was meant to sit, but the man seemed to be unable to support his tall body, and the whole person took on a "lying" posture. Whiskers are half-white. and disorganized, and the eyes lose their brightness. His lips were gray, the black veil on his head was squeezed a little slanted, and the purple official robe on his body was wrinkled. It's not someone else, it's the Tai Lieutenant, the middle of the division.

Xu Wei rushed forward and looked up and down, almost in disbelief. The last time he met with the Seed Master, it was also the Dingrong War.

At that time, how old and strong was this veteran of the Western Army? is as fierce as the Jurchens, and there is only defeat in front of him! It's only been a few months? How can you turn a general who is on the battlefield and dominates the battlefield into this?

What made Xu Wei even more angry was that everyone was sick like this. Why don't you stay in the house? Get this kind of place?

The seed master also looked at him, and there seemed to be a hint of brilliance in his muddy eyes, and he raised his hand with difficulty and beckoned, signaling Xu Wei to go over. The latter crouches down; Stick your head out. I only heard the old-timers hissing and said: "Someone is making trouble and deliberately revealing the rumors, I am afraid that it will provoke a civil uprising, you have to be careful." ”

Xu Wei's heart was shocked, and he quickly suppressed his complicated emotions, and said respectfully: "Taiwei is sick, he should go back to his home to recuperate." With that, he stood up. Sideways to Li Gang said: "Xuan Xiang, Taiwei is old, isn't it."

Li Gang's face was pale, and Captain Chong was seriously ill, so he shouldn't have been disturbed. But these people, blame him for proposing a strategy to retreat to Qin Long, instead of forcing people out of the hospital bed!

"Come on, send the captain home!" Li Gang shouted.

"No! Be clear! Why give up Guanzhong? Why give up Chang'an? What do you soldiers eat? Wan Qili was really excited, and he pointed to the seed master when he said a word.

Xu Wei stood in front of the captain. Lang Sheng said: "Commanders, colleagues, I know the things on the front line better than the captain, if you have something to say, just ask me, don't embarrass the elders." ”

Wan Qishang's first reaction was to say, how old are you? But when you think about it, this guy has a brilliant record in recent years. In his twenties, he had already served as a pacification envoy and a preparatory envoy, and what he said still had a little weight. When I think of this, I don't stop it.

The two family members of the seed house walked in quickly, made a gesture to Xu Wei, and hurriedly stepped forward to set up the seed master on the left and the right and went out. When passing by Xu Wei's side. Lieutenant Chong stretched out his hand again, and Xu Jiu hurriedly held it. I only felt that the old-timer tightened his strength, and whispered: "It's up to you." ”

"Take care, Captain." Xu Wei let go of his hand and said respectfully.

As soon as the planter left, the hall fell silent for a while, and many people were thinking about how to blame Zijin Tiger in their hearts. Xu Wei naturally understood this, so he took the lead.

"Prime Minister Xuan, ladies and gentlemen, before coming to Chang'an, I had already found out that there was a Jin army assembled in Tongzhou recently. Presumably, it will attack Huazhou and Chang'an in the near future. ”

As soon as these words came out, the astonishment of all the officials was written on their faces! For a while, they forgot to rebuke him, and they began to talk about each other. Jurchens so fast? A few days after the net was laid in Yan'an. Changing hands and coming to take Guanzhong? How good is that? Qu Duan ran back to Huanqing. It's too late to transfer him now, and Xu Yuan is gone again. In this way, Guanzhong is not here for survival. on him!

"Xu Jingluo, you count the battles with the Jinren, according to your opinion. Can you hold Guanzhong, or, Chang'an? "Zhang Bin spoke very politely because he had dealt with Zijin Tiger.

Without waiting for Xu Wei to answer, an official rushed to say: "You don't have to ask this, you can't keep it, you have to keep it, you have to keep it, all in all, Chang'an can be guarded."

Wan Qishang obviously agreed with this sentence, and nodded frequently: "Not bad!" It can't be called a sticky joke."

Li Gang didn't speak all the time, and said at this time: "The proposal of the Taiwei to retreat to Qin Long is also for the sake of the overall situation. Langyan was lost, the Jin army had no worries, and the other party controlled the entrance to the Guanzhong Plain. Hezhongfu, Tongzhou, and Huazhou all the way to Chang'an, this line is flat, which is conducive to the advance of the army. If you fight in Guanzhong, I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses. What's more, at the moment, "what he didn't say was actually referring to Xu Yuan's withdrawal of troops." For fear of arousing the anger of the officials. sprinkled the fire on the Xu brothers, and it was close to implicating Xu Wei.

"Xuanxiang's words are also, Qu Duan is in Huanqing, and he may not be summoned. Xu Yuan withdrew to Jingyuan, and now around Chang'an, only Shaanxi and China have an army. "There are officials who agree with retreating to Qin Long.

Li Gang deliberately didn't say anything, so he shook it out. As a member of the "Supervision Department", Wan Qishang immediately seized on this topic and hurried: "Xu Yuan is the "deputy envoy of the power system", and he should serve as an example for the army. Isn't it appropriate to lead the army to retreat without a formal order? ”

Fortunately, Li Gang agreed to the strategy of retreating to Qin Long. However, no formal order was issued. If not. Xu Yuan had to be beaten as a "violator".

"Now is not the time to hold accountable! The Jin army is all assembled, how can they resist the enemy? That's all that matters! Wang Shu's words finally got to the point.

All the officials set their eyes on Xu Wei, Zijin Tiger. Don't be modest, count on you now, say something.

Xu Wei swept over the group of officials one by one. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "The Jin army is only more than three hundred miles away from here. Are you not afraid, sir? ”

"Eating the king's lu, loyal to the king's affairs, and reporting the death of the society is the duty of my generation, why be afraid?". Wan Qi said to himself. The words came out of his mouth. Xu Wei really felt sarcastic, you and I don't know what kind of character you are? Do you know that your kneeling statue has been kneeling in front of the tomb of King Yue for hundreds of years? Do you know what it means to "Qingshan is fortunate to bury loyal bones, and white iron innocently casts Fuchen"?

"Now only the Shaanxi and Chinese armies are left in Yaozhou, and the Jin army is more than 100,000. The army is strong. The kind of Taiwei proposed to retreat to Qinlong, not for his own benefit, but for the longevity of Shaanxi. The captain went into battle for a lifetime. Naturally, the recommendations were not bad. ”

Wan Qishang said disdainfully: "Although he is a famous general in the West, but now that he is old, there must be something incomplete, why is it surprising?" Taking a step back, even if the divisions were moved to Qinlong to make sure things right, how could Chang'an give up? ”

Look at the faces of these people! As soon as he heard that the Jin army would come over soon, he immediately relented and did not object to moving the various yamen out of Chang'an!

Xu Weicai really disdained to talk nonsense with such people, turned around, and waved at Li Gang: "Xuanxiang." There are some urgent matters that must be reported to the minister. ”

Li Gang understood, exhaled, and said in a deep voice: "Let's disperse, let's discuss it later." ”

"Xuanfu Xianggong! Outside, there are thousands of soldiers and civilians petitioning! If you don't give a reply, how can you calm people's hearts? The officials rushed up and shouted.

Li Gang was finally angry! "Bang" slapped the equipment on the copywriting and trembled, and shouted: "Then you come to be this propaganda envoy!" small

Xuanfu envoy? It's a bad errand, but not now!

This slap shocked the officials, and they looked at each other for a while, and someone picked their heads out of the second hall. Seeing this, Wan Qishang and the others also left in a huff. After a while, only Li Gang and Xu Wei were left in the hall.

As soon as the person left, Li Gang seemed to collapse, sat down on the chair heavily, supported his forehead with one hand, covered his face, and couldn't help sighing: "How did you get to such a point!" ”

This transfer of institutions, materials, and personnel should have been extremely secret. As a result, before it was done, the city was full of storms, and the people blocked the yamen to petition, how did it end?

Xu Wei saw that he seemed to be a little older, and he couldn't bear it. But the situation was urgent, so he could only say directly: "Xuanxiang, if you want to transfer and evacuate, you must implement it as soon as possible, and if it is too late, there will be changes."

Li Gang had a headache and said impatiently: "Ziang, you have also seen it, how can you withdraw from such a situation?" The military and the people did not agree, and there were many officials who were against the times, alas

After asking, he suddenly remembered something, raised his head and asked earnestly: "Ziang, if you tell the truth to the prime minister, you really have to give up?" ”

Xu Wei didn't answer yet, he was probably afraid of not telling the truth, and added: "How do Ben treat you?" You should have a number in your heart! It's such a pinch. You can't hide it from me! ”

Xu Wei's lips were furrowed, and he was about to answer. It's hard to imagine that the dignified Shaanxi Xuanfu envoy was nervous like this, and grabbed the conversation again: "Of course." Benxiang knows that you also have difficulties, and even your cousin Xu Yuan has withdrawn. But, the prime minister wants to know, with your military strength. Let's not talk about repelling sticky Han, is it possible to resist it? The food in Chang'an City is enough for your ministry to eat, let's consume it with him! ”

This person's heart is full of flesh, and the other party has been kind to him several times, and Zijin Hu can't bear it for a while. But soon he thought that Qu Duan was also a general of the Western Army, why could he just try to protect himself and violate the festival several times? Isn't Zhang Shen handsome? They also surrendered to the Jin people directly, I, Xu Wei, are so unlucky, why do I always have to do the firefighting?

Li Gang saw that he didn't speak for a while, and his heart beat wildly. grabbed the desk, grabbed Xu Wei and asked, "What?" But is there a way? You say, you say, as long as there is a way, you can make any requests! Isn't the end of the curve violated several times? What will they do over you? ”
