Although it is not known whether the placement of these women is a success or failure, at least it has invisibly loosened the shackles for the four of them. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although the reaction of the Jin people came a little later than expected, it still arrived as expected, and just as it was about to dawn, the sound of horses neighing and dogs barking could be heard from a distance in the direction of the north bank of the narrow river.

Zhang Heizi, who was in charge of the night, quickly woke up the three of them, hurriedly extinguished the fire, led the horse and sneaked south. It's just that the Jin Man's concealment skills seem to be relatively high, and not long after the morning sun rises, they also found the right direction, chasing Huang Jie and rushing behind them.

To the south of this stone city, it is not necessarily true to say that it is all endless wilderness, but the emptiness of the North China Plain is needless to say, and after the Liao people got this anointed land, because they were not good at farming, they naturally did not do anything to reclaim and burn the wasteland, nor did they build any cities and towns, but just let the weeds grow and perish, making it a fertile land for the nomadic people of the Xi people.

The four of them hurried for about 80 miles around noon, and they heard the sound of the waves in the distance, and it was time to go to the beach. It's just that when he turned around and looked, he could vaguely see that there was floating dust rising more than ten miles behind him, and the pursuers of the country were very determined, and they were completely following behind at an unhurried speed, to see if Huang Jie and they could go away in the sea.

After crossing a hill and seeing the coastline clearly visible on the horizon in the distance, Huang Jie hurriedly whistled a few people to stop, and then asked, "You have reached the beach, continue to the south or west?" ”

The three of them glanced at each other, but Bai Xiu and Zhang Heizi all came to see Lu Shijie, and after Lu Shijie groaned slightly, he came to see Huang Jie and said, "I want to go west...... What do you think? ”

Huang Jie frowned when he heard this, and boldly asked again: "How about voting for Song with a certain person?" ”

Lu Shijie smiled bitterly when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Bai Xiu and Zhang Heizi, but seeing that the two of them also refused, Bai Xiu said coldly: "I am waiting for the Liaodi Han'er, who was originally an outcast in China, and I have long stopped thinking of voting for the Song Dynasty!" ”

As for Zhang Heizi's young age, although he didn't speak, looking at his expression, he obviously agreed with Bai Xiu's statement. Seeing that Lu Shijie, Bai Xiu, and Zhang Heizi all resisted to vote for Song like this, Huang Jie also knew that it was useless to say more, so after thinking about it, he also said: "In this case, it is better for me to just dispose of it here!" ”

The three of them thought about it, and they all came to hug their fists and say goodbye to Huang's masterpiece, and there would be a period after saying a word, and after the great grace of life was reported again in the future, they also beat their horses and went west.

Looking at the backs of the three of them in the distance, although Huang Jie couldn't figure out why they resisted Song so much, he also knew that even if he had a life-saving grace with them, he couldn't force them to do something against their will. Therefore, he could only sigh with emotion, and galloped away in the southwest direction.

This matter of the Han people in Liaodi who are unwilling to vote for the Song Dynasty, as far as Huang Jie is concerned, it is naturally impossible for Huang Jie to figure out the problem, because this matter is just to sort out the clues, I am afraid that it will take many years.

It is said that in order to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun that Shi Jingjiao lost at the beginning, the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty can be said to have been planning for many years, but these people are all wishful thinking to compile the script according to their own ideas. Because in the eyes of most Song people, as long as Wang Shi enters the Liao realm, it is natural that the Han people in Liao will naturally see Wang Shi and "eat pot pulp" to follow, saying: "If the Xingshi hangs the people, not only the pot pulp, should be greeted by the head of the Xianghua Louzi world."

In other words, the Song people took it for granted that as long as the imperial court sent troops to attack Liao, the Han compatriots in Liao would definitely be very happy to take the initiative to run out as a leading party, and would also set up a colorful gate at the border with fragrant flowers to greet them. However, the so-called wishful thinking and assumptions are nothing more than self-deception, when the Song army really crossed the Baigou boundary river and really set foot on the land of Liao, it was only then that they were stunned to find that the Han people in the sixteen states of Yanyun had long since ceased to "heart to the motherland", under the policy of Liao's light punishment and meager endowment, it is said that the tax burden of the Han people in Liao was lower than that of the Song Dynasty, and the small life was quite prosperous, and the Han scholars were also smooth sailing in the highly sinicized Liao officialdom.

Under such circumstances, no matter how much the motherland of the Great Song Dynasty pinned its hopes on millions of Han compatriots to wake up, no matter how much they cared about the great cause of reunification, it was basically a fool's dream. More importantly, the Han people of Liao were very hostile to the Song Dynasty, which was allied with the Jurchens, believing that it was the Great Song Dynasty that caused their country to be ruined and uprooted in order to obtain this land. As a result, instead of contributing to the great cause of reunification, this group of "leading party members" expected by the Song people immediately took refuge in the Jin army, and many Han people from the Liao State joined the Jin army that invaded the Song Dynasty in the south, launched a great cause of revenge against the "motherland", and contributed their own strength in the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Of course, this is all an afterthought, and now Huang Jie naturally doesn't know the reason, but he did remember what Zhang Heizi had said before, "It's better to vote for Song than for Jurchen", so he kept an eye in his heart.

Even if Lu Shijie and the others were unwilling to join the Song Dynasty, Huang Jie's footsteps to return to the Song Dynasty could not stop for a moment, but after he separated from the three of them, he first went to the southwest for a short distance, and then he also changed the route to the north, but he wanted to join the Wulu and Gu Desire.

As mentioned above, at this time, there were no large cities on the North China Plain, even the towns and villages were very few, and they had almost been reduced to the nomadic land of the Xi people, and the south of Shicheng was a wilderness, and to go from Shicheng to Baigou, the distance was three hundred miles away, and this rescue operation caused a commotion in the Jin army, so it was not so simple to go straight to Baigou and return to Song.

After traveling alone, Huang Jie's speed naturally increased a lot, and he was able to hide his whereabouts alone, so it took him half a day's work to come to a post station thirty miles southwest of Shicheng, and he also found Wulu and Guyi.

Since Huang Jie arranged for them to go out of the city early in the morning, naturally they didn't show their traces, so they hurriedly let the car go south.

However, after only two days of walking, he came to a place called Ninghekou (today's Jinninghe District) by the local Xi people, and he also found that there were Jin army scouts cruising around, blocking the people of Liaodi.

It's just that Huang Jie and the others are now dressed as Xi people, and they are driving Xi cars, so they didn't receive any trouble on the road, but after arriving at the mouth of the Ning River, they found that about four or five Xi tribes were stopped by the Jin army, and the Xi people were no longer allowed to go south.

After a day at the mouth of the Ninghe River, Huang Jie simply set up a car and went to the east of the sea, and soon arrived at the seaside, but he walked along the coast for a whole day, not to mention the fishermen on the seaside, even the small sampan did not see a one, until he met a small tribe of Xi people who were boiling salt in a large pot again, and it was not until the time of Xingzong of the Liao State (about 1031) that the sea was forbidden here, and all the nearby Han children moved to the hinterland of the Liao State. Although the Liao State allowed the Xi people to graze and hunt here, the Xi people were not good at fishing in boats, although they could not see fishermen and sampans.

Seeing that the way to return to the Song Dynasty was also impassable, Huang Jie could only change the Xi car again, and then rode with Wulu, Gu Xu and the old painter, and then crossed the Ning River and continued to the south to prepare for a hard break. (To be continued.) )
