Chapter 238: It's hard to tell the truth from the fake

Seeing that at the end of August, the rainy season finally passed, the continuous autumn wind all day long turned into a biting wind, the northwest entered the winter, the rain-soaked earth quickly became dry, and the ground was also covered with a hard shell, the Song army once again closed the encirclement, approaching the city of Lingzhou, the dense tents could not see the end, and the siege battle was about to break out.

Hearing the sound of cannons, the defenders of Lingzhou City, who had already tasted the might, hurriedly crawled under the battlements and curled up, but this time they did not see the flames of the explosion, but instead fell countless snowflake-like pieces of paper from the sky, and then dispersed to the whole city with the wind.

"Tell the soldiers and civilians of Lingzhou, God has the virtue of a good life, our army will attack the city in ten days, in order not to hurt the innocent, civilians, business travelers, and foreigners in the city can carry their belongings out of the city from the west gate within three days, our army will not be hindered, let them leave, please tell each other, otherwise the heavenly army will be at the front, and the lives will be ruined, and there will be no tiles left..." A literate soldier picked up a piece of paper that floated to his feet and read softly.

"Third brother, is it true that the Song army wants to attack the city in five days?" A companion leaned over and asked.

"I don't know what to do, it may be the trick of the Song army, trying to mess with our army!" The soldier of the Xia Army, who was called the third brother, threw the piece of paper aside and said.

"Third brother, will Song Jun really let the people leave?" It seems that this third brother has quite a prestige among the soldiers of the Xia Army, and someone came over to ask.

"How can I say this clearly, can't you just try it tomorrow!" The 'third brother' laughed and teased him.

"I don't think Song Jun is so kind, I'm afraid it's a suspicious plan. Our city is deep. They had no choice, so they came up with such a way, wanting to take advantage of the opportunity for the people to go out of the city and suddenly seize the city gate! A man said.

"Alas, don't think about it, even if the Song army lets the people go, I'm afraid the capital will not let the city gate open, everyone has run away, how can he defend the city!" Another soldier said.

"There is an order to immediately collect and burn the leaflets distributed by the Song army. It is not allowed to be seen, it is not allowed to be discussed, and those who violate the order will be beheaded..."Just as everyone was talking, suddenly an officer rode up to the city to give the order. The gathered soldiers immediately dispersed.

In the early morning of the next day, the Song army again fired artillery and distributed leaflets urging the people of the city to evacuate, but this did not cause a commotion among the people of the city. Because everyone has only heard of the army that plunders the people everywhere and robs the property, and has not seen the 'Qiu Ba' who puts the property and does not rob it, even the Song army, which is known as the division of benevolence and righteousness, is no exception, plus the Lingzhou City Official's 'refutation of rumors', so everything in the city is as usual, but in the evening, news came out, and the Song army surrounding Xicheng retreated for several miles. Get out of the way.

The next day, although the people of Lingzhou were still doubting the integrity of the Song army, those foreign envoys trapped in the city, caravans from various countries and expatriates from friendly countries stranded in the city rose up and demanded to open the door and leave the city. They have already figured it out, once the fight starts, who cares which country you are, the knife and gun have no eyes, and whoever is cut on it will hurt. I am also not obligated to be loyal to your Great Xia Kingdom!

Considering their safety, Wei Ming Anhui persuaded them to no avail, and figured it out, I can't stop you if you want to die now, and I can just spread the atrocities of the Song army all over the world. So after a strict search of these people, a small door was opened and they were allowed to leave the city. In this way, even if the Song army suddenly attacked, it would be able to block it in time. But all the circumstances they expected did not happen, after these people left the city, they were not killed, nor were they robbed, they successfully passed through the encirclement of the Song army, let them go, and the Song army kept its promise.

The news came back, this is terrible, Lingzhou City exploded, gathered at the West City Gate, wanted to leave, this time Wei Ming Anhui did not have a soft hand, opened the killing ring to these people, blood stained the West Gate, and at the same time the whole city was under martial law, in the name of finding spies launched a purge, for a time Lingzhou City was shrouded in bloody rain! …,

Three days later, the Song army besieged the city again and fired propaganda leaflets into the city again, but the content changed, one was to persuade the Xia army defending the city to surrender, and the other was to teach the secrets of life protection, persuading the people to stay at home and not go out when the battle started, store more food and drinking water, and give them how to identify the Song army and evade service. At the same time, he promised not to be an enemy of the Song army, to stay at home honestly, and the Song army could save his life if he did not kill or rob; For the soldiers, they were taught how to 'avoid' fighting with the Song army, how to desert without being caught, how to instigate a mutiny, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, etc., which are rich in content and complete in methods, which can be regarded as family heirlooms.

The rumor came out, and there was another turmoil in Lingzhou City, several rice shops were robbed, the daily necessities on the market were swept away, and some people even hit the idea to the granary in the city, and the government had to send troops to suppress it. In the army, soldiers and officers no longer seem to be as harmonious as in the past, every time the officer gives an order, the soldiers feel that they are going to die, and the soldiers say a few words of gossip, the officers think that the soldiers want to rebel, kill themselves to vote for Song Gong...

......

The sky was getting dark, Zhao Ta returned to Xingyuan, got off the horse, moved his legs and feet, seeing that the day of the siege was getting closer and closer, in order to choose the right attack point, he rode around Lingzhou City today, and sat on the horse for a day, and the two legs didn't seem to be his own.

Back in his small courtyard, Zhao Ta habitually walked to the side house where Zhao Xin lived, but after walking two steps and turning his head to see Zhi Meiluan who was following him, he changed his mind again, turned to his room, and suddenly heard a chuckle behind him, but Zhao Ta only didn't hear it strode into the house with his head held high, and when he turned around, he saw Zhi Meiluan walking towards the side house.

"Damn, what's this called..."Zhao Ta untied the big hat and took it off, and scolded uncleanly.

"Second master, what's wrong, is there anything wrong?" Seeing that Xi took the prince's big coat, seeing that the prince was displeased, he hurriedly asked.

"It's okay, Zhao Xin has nothing to do today, right?" Zhao Ta sat down and asked.

"It's okay, Zhao Xin is much better, why didn't the prince visit today?" Jianxi asked a little strangely, but he quickly reacted, "It must be the girl who folded, this girl is now soaking in Zhao Xin's house every day!" ”

"Well, whatever she is, she hasn't heard any gossip lately, has she?" Zhao Ta has been very weak since he was hit by Zhe Meiluan's 'good thing', thinking about it now, he is still blushing, if it weren't for Zhao Xin's quick reaction, I don't know how much of a joke Lu Dao would have made.

"I haven't heard the gossip of the second master, it's just that the guards are dissatisfied with the girl, and there are some discussions in private!" Jianxi poured a cup of tea for the prince and said.

"Oh, what is that for, I didn't see her offend anyone, what did she say!" Zhao Ta was interested when he heard it, put down the teacup and asked.

"In the past, the old men of the guards knew that the second master of the Folding Dao was interested in the girl, and the second master was not thin on them, and now the girl ran to Zhao Xin's house without any trouble, and there was inevitably some gossip, and even Zhao Xin followed and ate the melon!" Miki said.

"Hehe, do those boys think that the girl fell in love with Zhao Xin and kicked the prince?" Zhao Ta smiled when he heard this.

"Hehe, it does mean that, they are all upset!" Seeing Xi, he also smiled and said, "But the second master also has to make plans in advance, I heard that the Zhe family has asked for Huang Daguan's door, let the big official protect the second master for the media, it is said that the big official has already informed the mother, and the second master has to be prepared!" ”

"This old man doesn't care about business, he has him anywhere, what's the hurry, the folded family must have given him a lot of benefits, he didn't hurt him last time, he doesn't have a long memory!" Zhao Ta had a headache when he heard this, the Zhu girl in the capital hasn't been sent away yet, and now she has added a folding girl, and this folding girl is favorite, but the little thing in his family is not easy to deal with, and if it is not done well, it will be a big deal, Huang Jingchen is not adding to the chaos! …,

"Huang Daguan is also kind, the second master is not young, although Miss Zhu has been mastered by her mother, but she is thousands of miles away, you also need personal care!" Seeing Xi did not say to the prince this time, but persuaded him, but he knew that now the prince has a son; The third concubine and the side concubine are all seven or eight; Although the little ones have not yet agreed to marry, they have accepted people in the house; As far as the prince is still sleeping in the cold quilt, as the head of the prince's inner house, he is responsible for persuading the prince to open up the branches, how can he not be in a hurry, let alone add a folding girl, it is better to marry him ten or eight more.

"Alas, let's wait until after the war!" Zhao Ta sighed, now that the war is imminent, it is always a bit inappropriate to say these things...

The prince sighed here, but there was a lot of laughter in the side room, and Zhi Meiluan and Zhao Xin were talking happily, "Sister Zhe, you see that we are about the same figure, but why don't these clothes look as good as you on me!" Zhao Xin was wearing a robe of Zhemeiluan at this time, but how awkward it looked.

"Sister Xin, I don't know how you came here for so many years, a woman is mixed in the men's pile all day long, and she hasn't been found yet, it's strange to think about it!" Seeing that Zhao Xin couldn't even wear women's clothes, Zhe Meiluan said while helping her tidy up.

"Actually, it's nothing, as long as you think of yourself as a man, besides, the second master and those brothers are very good to me, and it's really fast to be with them!" Zhao Xin said with a slight flush on his face, thinking that it was really embarrassing that he had to sleep in the same room with the prince in order not to reveal his identity, and even sleep in the same tent.

"Look, it's so much better, if you let the prince see it, you will definitely fascinate him!" Zhi Meiluan said with a smile.

"Sister Zhe, don't talk nonsense, the prince will definitely scold me when he sees it!" Zhao Xin bowed his head and said.

"No, that night you were wearing the clothes of a Tibetan woman, and the prince was... If he wears this, he may be able to put you..."Zhe Meiluan looked at Zhao Xin's shy appearance, and couldn't help but tease her.

"Didn't Sister Zhe tell you, that day I asked the prince to help me find a woman's clothes, but the prince couldn't find it anywhere, so he found me the clothes of a Tibetan woman, but my body has not recovered, such a toss, I was held by the prince when I was dizzy and black, I didn't expect you to see it!" Zhao Xin said.

"Okay, I know Lu Dao, but you have followed the prince for so many years, and he didn't know that Lu Dao was a woman before?" Zhe Meiluan still has a thorn in her heart, and she took the opportunity to say it... (To be continued.)
