I was just about to go home, but I didn't take two steps and stopped. The pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info have all entered the city, what are these people panicking about?

Just when I was puzzled, a few screams suddenly came from the cave of the city gate, and it was terrifying to hear!

Step on!

When this thought flashed through his mind, Li Ang knew too well what it meant, and rushed over with a few arrows, shouting to help guide him, but the scene was so chaotic that no one paid attention to him at all.

"The thieves are coming!"

Fang wanted to rush to the city to ask the officers and soldiers to help maintain order, but unexpectedly, an exclamation sounded above the city.

When he went up to the city again, he looked at it, and suddenly it was cold from head to toe.

On the northern outskirts of Fucheng, in the open field, as far as the eye can see, thieves are swept in like a flood! There were no flags fluttering, no war drums rumbling, only dense crowds of people filling the roads, flooding the fields, and approaching the city step by step!

For a moment, Leon couldn't feel anything, only a buzz in his head.

When he came back to his senses a little, his ears were filled with shouts and shouts, and the strong guards who were running around like headless flies crowded him around. Caught off guard, a spear was stuffed in his hand, and he was pushed behind his back and stood in the middle of the battlements of the city wall.

The drawbridge was rising, and there were still a few people falling on it. The people who did not have time to enter the city begged or cursed, and even jumped into the moats in a panic. A woman stood on the edge of the ditch and was about to jump, and the cry of the baby in her arms woke Leon and cried out in the city: "Don't jump! Go to the South Gate! ”

This cry for help pointed out a way out for the desperate people in the city, and no longer cared about the vehicles and livestock, they ran along the moat with the old and the young on their backs.

In the midst of the chaos, the people from outside the city finally rushed to the city before the gates were completely closed, whether they were dead or alive......

Outside the city, the thieves had apparently gained experience before, and did not approach the moat, but only dispersed around the perimeter of the moat. This is exactly what Li Ang was worried about before, the walls of Shouchun Mansion are tall and strong, and he is not afraid of a strong attack, but he is afraid of a siege!

After a long while, seeing that there were still thieves and soldiers in the northern suburbs, he couldn't help but ask the soldiers around him: "How many people do you have to do here?" ”

"How do I know? I have never seen so many people since I came out of my mother's womb! When the soldier spoke, his mouth trembled, and his hands trembled...... There's no place in the body that doesn't tremble.

Fear is a contagious thing, like the plague. Li Ang finally calmed down, and when he saw his bear-like appearance, he also followed suit.

At this time, Kang Yunzhi, the prefect of Shouchun, who heard the warning, took Fan Tong of Xia Cai Zhi County and the officials of the two prefectures to inspect the city.

Kang Zhifu's demeanor and demeanor are barely calm, so Fan Zhixian is really unlucky. Speaking of which, he is indeed unlucky, originally one term of office expired, and the appointment order has come down, but the new magistrate has not arrived, and he has been delayed until now without being able to deliver......

When the officials saw the thieves and soldiers in the wilderness, they were all frightened.

Kang Yunzhi held on to the women's wall and watched for a while, and when he let go, there were a few scratches left on the wall. As soon as Fang turned around, he found Li Ang holding a spear in his hand, he suspected that he had seen it wrong, and then looked at it for a moment before he changed his color and said, "What are you doing?" ”

"Students are in ...... Defending the city? ”

"Nonsense! This is also where you stay? Go down! ”

Leon was neither a soldier nor a strong man, so he should not have been in the city. But Kang Yunzhi's words made him a little unhappy, yes, I am a scholar, but a scholar is amazing? These illiterate ones deserve to die?

Kang Yunzhi saw that he didn't move, and became more and more annoyed: "What? Want to be a lighter hero? If it reaches the point where even the scholars have to take up arms and go into battle, then this great Song ......"

The words that followed might have been unlucky, but he held back and didn't say them.

At this moment, the soldier beside Li Ang silently took the spear in his hand when he heard that he was a scholar, and he was still shaking like chaff.

The scholars of the Great Song Dynasty felt that they were superior to others, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty also took it for granted......

News of the arrival of the thieves soon spread throughout the city, and when Leon returned home, he found that all the shops and houses facing the street were closed, and the people who had taken refuge in the city were either gathered in the streets or sitting on the eaves of the stairs, in shock. When the family was trampled to death, the whole family gathered around, hugged their heads and cried......

In the afternoon of the same day, the bandit leader "Ding Yijian" spread a message to the city, claiming to have led 100,000 people to come to the conquest, and ordered Shouchun Mansion to immediately open the city and surrender, so that the lives of the people in the city could be guaranteed.

Otherwise, once the city is broken, the chickens and dogs will not be left.

At this time, in the city of Shouchun Mansion, there were only less than 3,000 van troops that could be called armed forces. Anyone who is familiar with the history of the Song Dynasty knows that the Xiang army is actually a kind of "conscription", which neither trains nor fights, and its main task is to work for the government.

And their composition is very complex, there are criminals who are stabbed in other places, there are old and weak eliminated by the forbidden army, and there are "remnants" whose height and strength are not up to standard when they are recruited locally.

Kang Yunzhi also knew that these people could not be expected to fight bloody battles with thieves.

After consulting with the officials of the prefecture and county, they came up with a solution.

It wasn't until he saw the notice the next day that he learned that the government was going to recruit envoys out of the city to meet Na Ding, and promised to "reward the master" with a rich gold silk, hoping to break the fortune and avoid disaster.

Li Ang really can't understand this approach, not to mention that you are an official, he is a thief, you should not compromise with him at all.

Let's just say the same:

If he has that strength, he can break through the city and take it himself.

If not, you can't do it at all.

However, this is very much in line with the consistent style of the Great Song Dynasty, whether it is for the party members, Khitans, or Jurchens, they have always done so. And I don't feel ashamed after doing it, I always think that the uncle is rich, reward you two, don't make trouble.

In order to reward the brave man, the government paid the envoy a considerable amount of silver, five hundred taels of silver.

You must know that the currency in circulation in the Song Dynasty was copper money and iron money, and gold and silver were rare things, which were generally only used to pay for the "New Year's gifts" and "New Year's coins" for foreign races and the purchase of horses.

And according to the current proportion, one tael of silver should be equivalent to two copper coins. If you go out to the city and spread the word, you will be rewarded with a land and a house.

Before Li Ang's family dealt with the field and the house, Sun Baolin also paid for one hundred and fifty taels of gold and eight hundred taels of silver that he couldn't get from nowhere.

Sure enough, someone unveiled the list on the same day, but it was a "matching army" in the Xiang army, that is, a criminal who was assassinated from other places. In addition to the silver reward, he also had a request, hoping that after the matter was completed, he could be exempted from prison and then give him the top card of the Xixi Spring Building as his wife.

Kang Yunzhi was brave, and he originally planned to give a note, but when he heard the last one, he changed it to a verbal promise.

With the whole city...... The hope of the officials, this army went out of the city. Not yet on the right path, but hanging from the city with a basket tied to it, and heading to the thief's camp with the admiration of all his comrades.

In less than half an hour, he reappeared, hung from a pole several feet long, and his tongue even covered his chin......

Ding Yijian replied to Kang Yunzhi in this way, you can't afford the price I want.
