As for the new Hedong pacification envoy Wang Huang and the border Jinyang army's struggle, and then take the unconventional means of cutting off grain, and the Jinyang army in the border area to fight the bully and strong, seize grain and grass, this is also no way, the border tribes have sent people to Taiyuan to surround the operation to ask to write off these losses, these things happened before and after, and made the flow of talk in Taiyuan more interesting.

Overall, Hedong Road has been a quiet place in the Great Song Dynasty for decades, the mountains and rivers are treacherous, there are not many flat land, the passage is not too convenient, and the natural economy is not developed. In the Five Dynasties, Hedong was also famous for its military towns, rather than for its wealth, and the poor days of the Northern Han Dynasty were also famous all over the world.

At the beginning of the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, Hedong Road because of the confrontation with the Liao people, the financial resources of the Great Song Dynasty were tilted to this place, and the Hedong Road was still lively for decades.

The Jinyang army marched north, Wang Hao came with the background of the political dispute in Beijing, and immediately stirred the stagnant water of Hedong Road, although the war was about to burn over, but for the people of Taiyuan Mansion, they were still more excited than panicked, in the market, this little thing, has been turned out I don't know how many tricks.

Overall, the people of Taiyuan Fuzhong are still optimistic about Wang Huang in this game, which represents the Wenchen side, for no other reason, the influence of the ancestral system of the Great Song Dynasty with Wen and Wu is too far-reaching, and the Hedong Road has not been stationed for a long time, and the people of Hedong Road can not feel the quiet change in the status of the Wuchen in this situation.

In the conversation, although it is inevitable that the Jinyang army will have three points of pity, after all, it is a strong army that has made Pingyan's merits, but not many people doubt the unlucky fate of the Jinyang army in the future. Even faintly afraid of the Jinyang army's domineering behavior in the border areas, the Great Song Dynasty, which has been peaceful for a long time, not only the civil ministers, but also the common people have a natural sense of vigilance and alienation for the real strong army that has been trained through bloody battles.

In the market, there are even people happily gambling with each other. opened the handicap, see if these domineering military ministers of the Jinyang Army can last through this winter!

But the first month is about to pass, and the relaxed mentality of Taiyuan Mansion that laughs at the Jinyang Army and Hedong Road to pacify the battle is gone.

The reason is very simple, there are police on the border, which has turned from rumors to reality, and the Tartar Iron Rider has snowballed, getting bigger and bigger. Now there are no less than 8,000 people who have stepped into the territory of Yingzhou, and only 5,000 soldiers and horses of Yue Fei are guarding Yingzhou City.

On the seventh day of the second month of the fifth year of Xuanhe in the Great Song Dynasty, the gray lead cloud was low and low pressure on the head of Taiyuan City, and the heavy snow stopped for a long time ago. At this moment, there were snowflakes falling one after another, sprinkled on the blackened snow at the west gate of Taiyuan City, which was trampled by pedestrians. In the blink of an eye, it was a mixture of black and white.

At the gate of the city, the men army who were in service were dressed in bulging clothes, and at this time they were full of sweat, trying their best to maintain order at the city gate, a small officer leading the team. Wearing a helmet that I don't know where it came out of my house for a long time without rusting, because of the cold, I wrapped a piece of skin on my head, and it didn't look like a soldier was heroic.

Straightening his neck, he shouted hoarsely: "Pacify the prince and the prime minister, and the palace will open every day from midnight to noon, and at other times." The city gate will never be opened lightly, this is not a stubborn life, we must have knives and guns in our hands, don't bump into our own homes! ”

At this moment at the gate of the city, there are hundreds of people gathered by the hedgehogs, the carriages and horses are one after another, crowded in a group, in this icy and snowy cold day, those who can leave their industries and flee here are mostly wealthy families with identities in the border areas, only they can gather the cars and horses to be strong, escorting the people with identities in each family, and they are unwilling to be accommodated by the refugee camp set up by the Jinyang Army in Yingzhou, and the fleeing people begging for hot porridge and small dishes every day to survive, all the way to Taiyuan Mansion here.

These people who fled are no better than the common people, how can they take the soldiers in their eyes? There are many strong and powerful slaves in each family, and at this time, they pushed and shoved with the sweaty soldiers, scolded and scolded, and all of them had rough mouths.

"Straight thief, which crotch is not clamped tightly and exposes all of your bird feathers? There are knives and guns, just beckon to my head. You must know that I am in the east of the river, and I am also a famous big insect, when I play with knives and sticks, you are still smacking milk! ”

"Our head of the family used to be the head of the household, and the minister of the political hall can talk, now in the car is the head of the family and the third sister, to Taiyuan Mansion, even Yangqu County Zun also has to pick up, how many of you dare to stop us from entering the city? When the time comes, the main hall of Yangqu County will go around, and I dare not say that there are more than 200 small boards, and you will fall asleep! ”

"The matching army of the straight lady and the birds, do you have the ability to go to the north and fight the Tartars? Don't say it's a tartar, it's our border men, one of them will beat you six or seven, what kind of bird appeases the envoy, cut off the clothing and food of the border army, but it makes us suffer, the gate of Bianliang must be the surname of the king can't stand it? Let's beat the drum and tell the bird surnamed Wang to pacify him! ”

"Grandma, a bear, crash open, knock this bird gate open! I didn't believe it, I didn't die in the hands of the Tartars, and I escaped with great difficulty. Can you still die at the gate of Taiyuan Mansion? It's really not possible, let the bird surnamed Wang appease out and speak! ”

The little officer in the team leader had a blue face, and was pushed and shoved by these slaves, so that the rusty iron helmet on his head was crooked, and he could only press it with his hands in embarrassment, scolding others for thousands of ancestors, but he couldn't say it, and he was angry and frightened in his heart.

Taiyuan Mansion is nominally garrisoned by the forbidden army, and on paper alone, there are thousands of soldiers, thousands of mules and horses, and the army has all the equipment to defend the city, but in fact, there are hundreds of soldiers with the name of the forbidden army, plus more than 1,000 prison city with troops, it is the Hedong Road all the way to the office, and all the armed forces of Taiyuan Mansion in the world.

On weekdays, in addition to guarding the gate of the warehouse and the prison city, no one regarded himself as a soldier who could go into battle, and every day he was wrapped in the idlers in the city, backed by the powerful force of more than 1,000 troops, and took over the affairs of controlling the market, and the life was quite nourishing.

This little officer is still a well-known head of the Fighting Society in Taiyuan Mansion, every day he keeps drinking wine and meat, he keeps copper in his waist, he can't go to practice, he sleeps in flowers and willows every day, when will he suffer such hardships in this icy and snowy weather?
