Xiao Sui looked at Han Derang, her beautiful eyes flashed, and she seemed to regret, disappointed, angry, sad, these complicated looks, Han Derang who was looking out the window didn't pay attention, only heard her sigh faintly, and said in a low voice: "You sent your wife and heirs to the Xia Kingdom, so that I can trust you." ”

Han Derang seemed to have been pricked by a needle, his body trembled, and he turned his head to look at Xiao Xuan in disbelief, and the room was so quiet that only the sound of the two of them breathing.

Compared with the border people in the Huanqingjingyan area, who were almost looking forward to the arrival of the Xia army, and even the brave border county tycoons were looking forward to the military sergeant shade household system that was common in the Xia State, most of the people in Guanzhong who lived in the inland state capital had only heard of this enemy country far in the northwest, and a few people had used gadgets produced in the Xia State, and only a very small number of big businessmen secretly hoped that after the Xia army captured Guanzhong, they would not have to pay customs duties to sell goods from Guanzhong to the Western Regions of Hexi. The more the Xia army advanced into the hinterland of Guanzhong, the deeper the hostility of the people to the foreign army, and even the situation of forming a village to protect itself was not uncommon.

In a village next to the official road in Qinzhou, Guanzhong, the people did not sleep all night. This night, the sound of horses' hooves was dense and bursting, and I was afraid that thousands of troops and horses would pass by. The money and food of the twenty-two members of Qiu who were shocked had already been buried, but before they had time to flee to the nearby prefecture and county towns for refuge, who knew that the Xia army would send troops so quickly this time, and there was no news in advance. "There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, Master Guan blesses my Qiu family to survive this great disaster, and the villain will do good deeds and accumulate virtue from now on. "Qiu Yuan's only way of praying all night that the army outside will not rush in and kill and loot indiscriminately, even if it is an orderly robbery, he is acceptable.

It wasn't until dawn that there was no sound outside, and Qiu Yuanwai sent a servant out to listen to the news, and replied that there were no rebels outside, and notices were posted everywhere, and the servant was illiterate, and he didn't dare to uncover the paper, so he had to ask the staff to go and see it himself.

Qiu Twenty-two is also one of the few literate people in this Zhuangzi, after giving the servant a reward, he probed his brain, and walked out of the door with fear, just smelling the smell of horse manure and hay, his heart was sudden, and his legs and stomach were a little soft, and he came to a notice with trepidation, and looked at it in black and white, which was written in black and white: "King Wu of Xia Hero sues the father and elder in Guanzhong, the three chapters of the law, the murderer dies, and the wounded and the thief are guilty!"

He couldn't believe his eyes, pinched his arm, and cried out in pain. He pondered for a moment, sighed, put down his heart, strode back to the mansion, and said to the lady who was in a hurry to pack up and take refuge in the city: "Let's put it down for the time being, what is here is a king who is determined to achieve great things, not a rebellious army." ”

"Cai Keyuan and Cai Kexian asked the villains to come to sue for peace, as long as the general promises to save the lives of the two adults and his subordinates, we are willing to surrender and are willing to fight for His Majesty King Xia. Tuoba Cheng knelt on the ground in shame and bowed to the high hussar commander Xin Gu. The hussars set up the Guannai camp in Gyeongju, which was far away from the Yinxiaju party camp attached to the Song state.

Xin Gu ignored the pretending to be humble Xiazhou Thorn Shi Shizi, looked at the camp of the Dangxiang Qiang people not far away, and said in a deep voice: "Cai Keyuan has unwashed blood on his hands, King Xia does not accept surrender, he will kill himself if he has a kind." With a wave of his hand, he asked his subordinates to cut off the thumbs of Tuoba Cheng's left and right hands and put them back.

A few days later, Cai Keyuan ordered to kill the old and weak women and children in the camp, burned all the property, and more than 2,000 party cavalry of the Song State tried to break through and escape under the leadership of Cai Keyuan, the assassin of Xiazhou, and Cai Kexian, the assassin of Yinzhou, but were ambushed by the hussars on the way, and all of them were killed.

Qingshui Village usually stationed more than 1,000 forbidden troops, here is a walled fort on the Qinwei grain road, the grain road walks the winding Qingshui River Valley, and the walled fort is built on the steep high cliff on the north side, easy to defend and difficult to attack. From the time the sentinel found that the scout cavalry of the Xia Kingdom appeared outside the stockade, and from time to time hundreds of Xia cavalry passed through the valley below the stockade, the captain Du Hu had been in a panic, and he had sent soldiers to try to contact the nearby walled fort and Qinzhou Prefecture, but they were all gone.

"It seems that the people of Xia have entered the country in a big way. Du Hu looked at the empty river valley, and there was no news from outside for ten days. Suddenly, a group of hundreds of cavalry guards of the Xia army, several officers of the forbidden army, and people dressed as civilians in the valley came towards the stockade.

"Listen to the Song army above," Zhang Di, the lieutenant of the Lu Military Academy, shouted loudly, "This is the Zuojin Township Elder and Xiao Guan stationed in the forbidden army, and I have come to inform you and others of the situation outside! If you and the others are willing to listen, they will agree, and I will let them come up!"

Those people are all squires who are usually familiar, Du Hu hesitated for a moment, waved his hand and asked his subordinates to put them up, until this time, he knew that the Xia army had entered the pass in a big way, not only in the siege of Jingzhao Mansion, Fengxiang Mansion and other famous cities Dayi, but also occupied Hangu Pass, Xiao Pass, Dasan Pass, completely cut off the connection between Guanzhong and the Central Plains. What shocked him even more was that Zhang Yongde and Liu Yanrang actually rebelled against the two generals, and the 100,000 troops in Hebei supported Zhao Dezhao, the prince of Taizu, and the rebels were about to kill Bianliang.

"The Xia army only emphasizes courage and pushes, if the general judges the situation and returns to His Majesty the King of Xia as soon as possible, then the brothers will have a chance to advance," Fei Hui, the head of the original Hujie army, said in a deep voice, he has been hired as a sergeant because of his outstanding martial arts, "If the general and his brothers want to return to Bianliang, then when the war subsides, our country will send you back to the east." ”

Du Hu was silent for a long time, and then turned around and discussed with a few head officers next to him for a long time, and finally said: "Zhang Yongde and Liu Yan let the two generals raise troops in Hebei, and they both deployed large battalions to surrender to the Xia Kingdom. ”

Under the city of Chang'an, in the camp of the Dragon Tooth Army, Wu Yingying stood up and said to the dozens of squires who were about to enter the city to persuade them to surrender: "In order to avoid the resurgence of the sword soldiers in the Guannei and the destruction of life, I have worked hard for all the gentlemen to persuade Lord Jingzhao Yin to return to the city after completing the city, and Wu Yingying is here to thank you." "Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty has been destroyed in the war, although the rebuilt Chang'an City is small at this time, but the gains and losses of Chang'an have a great impact on the hearts of the military and the people in Guanzhong.

The squires hurriedly humbled themselves, and Wu Yingying took out another letter, and said with a smile: "Here is a letter from the deceased of Lord Jingzhao Yin Wei Yu to him, and I bothered everyone to bring it to him." "The squires only said that Wu Yingying and Jing Zhaoyin were both officials in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and they must have some common old knowledge, so they only took it.
