On this side of Linfu Road, Linzhou and Fuzhou are under full martial law.

The forts on the periphery were also ready to meet the enemy, and the atmosphere in Fuzhou City was tense at this time, and there were many fewer pedestrians on the streets.

Qiu Shuxuan was cruising around the city, carrying a long sword at his waist, followed by more than a dozen sergeants.

"Immediately post a list of articles, ordering the merchants and people in the city not to go out at will from today onwards, all martial law inside and outside the city, and no entry or exit is allowed in Fuzhou City from today!"

"Yes!"

The Tangut forces were coming soon......

As the last line of defense on the north bank of the Yellow River, Fuzhou must not miss the slightest mistake, otherwise the Great Song Dynasty will have no possibility of going north in the future.

"Whenever there is a living face, immediately control the questioning! Remember! Be sure to find out who you are...... Beware of the spywork of the Tangut people, be careful and be careful! ”

After walking a short distance, he came to Zhi Jimin, and his face was full of seriousness.

"Can you find out?"

As soon as Qiu Shuxuan looked at his face, he said anxiously: "Although until now, I have not seen a large number of enemy troops in Western Xia, but the news from Bianliang is too far away, and our military report has not been issued, and the imperial court will definitely be eager to find out the enemy's intelligence as soon as possible!" ”

As a civil official in Fuzhou, the burden on Qiu Shuxuan's shoulders is no easier than that of Ji Min.

On the one hand, he has to put aside the changes of various forces around the border, and he also has to watch the Fuzhou family, so as not to have the phenomenon of a military general's family dominating.

Although we have worked together before, and the results are gratifying.

But there should still be an attitude, look at the folded family...... This is Qiu Shuxuan's responsibility.

Zhi Jimin understood what he meant, nodded and pointed in the direction of the city, and the two walked side by side.

"It's all clear, there are more than 2,000 Xixia light horsemen wandering between the fortresses on the border line...... This is obviously inconsistent with the news, if it was really a large army pressing the border, those fortresses on the border at this moment would have been swept away by the Tanguts! ”

"And! If it is really as the Western Xia said that there are 100,000 troops, then now there should be tens of thousands of rangers outside Fuzhou City. ”

Zhi Jimin has been fighting all year round, looking very brave, and his steps are a little bigger than ordinary people, Qiu Shuxuan walked a few steps faster before he could barely keep up with him.

Then he asked eagerly: "There are only more than 2,000 people, what can they do?" Why is that? ”

Zhi Jimin's footsteps faltered, stopped and looked at the city, and after pondering for a long time, he frowned and said, "Could it be ...... Bravado! ”

The two of them went up to the city and looked into the distance.

At this time, a person ran up from under the city, clenched his fists and returned to his life.

"General Qiyu, Qiu Qin, the scouts outside the city have just sent news, saying that there are more than 30 Western Xia enemy soldiers to quietly take over the close defense line of Fuzhou!"

"Only more than 30 rides? What are the Tangut people doing! ”

Qiu Shuxuan's fist smashed on the city wall, and then he stood there alone and grinned, but his heart was churning with anger, Xixia couldn't help but take Da Song too seriously! ”

Thirty people want to challenge the defense line of Fuzhou? You must know that there are more than 15,000 people in Fuzhou City now.

Not to mention thirty people, it is 30,000 people, if you defend the city, Fuzhou can resist for a while.

"It's a temptation."

Zhi Jimin leaned against the wall and looked out vigorously.

Qiu Shuxuan didn't know what he was thinking, so he didn't know how to speak.

"That's not right!"

Qiu Shuxuan slapped the city bricks and ordered: "We didn't play the song, what about Hedong?" What does that mean? ”

An official behind him said: "Qiu Zhan, the east side of the river said that the Western Xia army was pressing the border, and there must be reinforcements, otherwise Hedong will be lost, and Linfu Road will not be able to be saved." ”

This is the cold of the lips and the teeth.

If Hedong is gone, there will be a Linfu Road left hanging overseas, what is the difference between this and falling into the hands of the enemy.

Qiu Shuxuan sighed and said, "They should have sent a messenger to Bianliang a long time ago, and when the reinforcements gathered...... If the enemy forces are pressing, it will be enough, if it is a false alarm, not to mention the cost of food and grass, shame! ”

Zhi Jimin's eyes flickered, and he said: "Zhan Zhi, this matter must not be delayed, a certain person intends to send someone to Bianliang quickly, just say that this matter is a bluff of the Xixia people, but I must also deal with it, if there is no urging, we can also send troops!" ”

He was taking a risk, but he wanted to pull Qiu Shuxuan up.

If it fails, everyone is unlucky together, if it succeeds, the relationship between Qiu Shuxuan and the Zhe family will naturally be closer in the future.

He is not a brainless reckless man, but the current patriarch of the Zhe family.

As the patriarch, he needs to make the Zhe family better and better, and the Linfu Road Army and Horse Division is a force worth wooing.

The last time Qin Wei came to Fuzhou, he had several conflicts with Qiu Shuxuan, but with the great victory over the Western Xia people, the grudge between the two sides was relieved.

Qiu Shuxuan is a bureaucrat, a typical civil official, but he is not too selfish and can socialize.

Zhi Jimin searched for a long time, and finally felt that this was an opportunity. As long as Qiu Shuxuan agrees, everyone will be considered colleagues who have suffered together, and they will suffer together and eat meat together in the future.

He seemed to be looking into the distance, but from time to time he glanced at Qiu Shuxuan, who had a changeable face beside him, from time to time.

Qiu Shuxuan was also suffering.

This is an opportunity.

If Ji Min's judgment comes true, he will also make meritorious contributions.

That's far-sightedness and sharp-eyedness!

But once you make a mistake, this is a heinous crime......

If you succeed, you will make meritorious service, and if you fail, you will be a great crime......

He closed his eyes and muttered, "People, how difficult it is, you can defend it, but once you use soldiers, you can ...... it."

Zhi Jimin said: "You have to take risks, not to mention that the momentum of the Xixia people is not right, a certain bet that this is fake, so this is an opportunity!" ”

If you can puncture the conspiracy of the Tangut people, the credit and wealth will be at your fingertips.

He said with blazing eyes: "If there is a mistake, a certain force bears it." ”

These words are very interesting, but Qiu Shuxuan said lightly: "If there is a mistake, you can't run away, your commitment is just a lie." ”

Old Zhe Jimin's face turned red and said, "A certain ......"

"You are the patriarch of the generation of the Zhe family, you have to think about the Zhe family, but you are not a fool!"

Qiu Shuxuan looked at Zhi Jimin with disdain, and said: "Call you stupid, but you are always a little careful, but the means are not refined enough, and you will know what you want to do when you hear it."

Zhi Jimin was not annoyed when he was caught, he smiled: "That's it." ”

Since you don't want to, then I'll come by myself, the Zhe family has never lacked gambling, and Zhe Jimin is even more so.

The suppression of the warriors by the Great Song Dynasty must have reached the point of despair, and if you want to turn over, you must make dangerous moves.

Qiu Shuxuan glanced at Zhi Jimin and said: "What is it called, since you want to make a report, of course you have to write it, otherwise you will skip the level and report." ”

This guy actually agreed?

Zhi Jimin was happy in his heart, and then said with a smile: "Okay, I will write it, and I will write it." ”

From afternoon to evening, Qiu Shuxuan has been writing and rewriting, rewriting, and he is considering his words.

As a civil official for many years, he knows that in many cases, if a word is used incorrectly, the meaning is completely wrong, and once someone wants to investigate, it is a big mistake.

Zhe Jimin is taking risks, and he is also taking risks.

They want to take advantage of this Western Xia to send troops to fight, the Zhe family wants to turn over, and he wants to be promoted...... This place in Fuzhou is a nightmare for civil officials.

But at the same time, he also hopes to leave more back roads for himself, so that he will not make a mistake this time and lose everything.

So Qiu Shuxuan became more interested in words.

"Okay, okay?"

Zhe Jimin's mouth is full of oil, he just needs the result and doesn't want the process, as long as Qiu Shuxuan agrees to go to this letter with him.

"That's it!"

Qiu Shuxuan rubbed his somewhat sour eyes, and then found the first report in a team of waste paper.

"Just use this one! No matter how much we think about it, it's useless, whether it can be done this time depends on how many roads the Xixia side has, whether it really wants to attack, or build momentum......"

"Qin Zhi is right, it's over!"

Zhi Jimin seems to be a big warrior, but when he took the opportunity to hold a pen, he read the content of this report almost.

I found that there was nothing unfavorable to me, so I smiled with satisfaction.

Then the newspaper was painted and sent out.

"Be quick!"

Since you have decided to gamble, then time is money, and if you delay it for a day, there will be a change in the court side, and if the court believes the report of Hedong Road and decides to send a large army to attack, then this matter will be meaningless.

Qiu Shuxuan also let go, and said fiercely: "Hurry up, who dares to stop this way, kill it!" ”

The report was sent away, and Zhi Jimin continued to patrol, sending a small group of scouts out of the city at night from time to time to investigate.

It was in the early hours of the morning, four days after the report was sent away.

When he saw his scouts being chased and killed by the enemy, Zhi Jimin beat the drum with his own hands and shouted excitedly: "Attack!" Sortie! ”

Then he personally led the cavalry to block the attack, and Qiu Shuxuan also drew his long sword at the head of the city, and shouted at the soldiers: "Sons, the time has come to serve the country, cheer up and kill the enemy!" Fight the enemy! ”

"Kill! Fight the enemy! ”

The image of a civil official screaming and killing the enemy seems a little unbelievable.

If it is sent back to Bianliang, many people will probably feel disdainful, and then express their sincere disdain for Qiu Shuxuan, a civil official.

What does a civil servant do?

Strategize and win thousands of miles away!

To be gentle, to have a bearing, to have a ......

With the sound of the city's help, Zhi Jimin and his cavalry quickly repelled the enemy army, and began to retreat with the scouts who had lost most of them.

Defeat the enemy in a battle!

When did the Tanguts become so vulnerable?

There is only one possibility for this scenario...... That is, the Tangut people are really bluffing, what an army of 100,000, this is just a gimmick they shouted.

"It's fake! Fake! ”

"Hahahaha!"

Qiu Shuxuan excitedly slashed at the city bricks, almost breaking the tiger's mouth.

They got the bet right!

The letter suggesting that the imperial court not send heavy troops to help him has been gone for almost five days, and he should be able to reach Bianliang in a few days...... Then their reward will be certain.

"If there were really 100,000 troops in Western Xia, the whole army would have attacked at this time. There are only 15,000 people in Fuzhou City, so naturally they can't stop the impact of 100,000 troops......"

Qiu Shuxuan said proudly: "But what about the enemy? Where is it? Where are they? ”

He is not stupid, and he has a lot of experience as an official for many years.

The Western Xia people claimed that Li Yuanhao would personally lead an army of 100,000 to attack the Great Song Dynasty, preparing to wash the Linfu Road in blood, and be ashamed of the defeat in the past!

He also threatened that once the city was broken, he would use the bones of all the soldiers and civilians in Fuzhou to forge a larger Jingguan to retaliate.

But the vanguard of an army of 100,000 people, how invincible it must be! How could there be only 3,000 people?

This is clearly a temptation!

Maybe the Western Xia really gathered an army of 100,000, but at least now they don't dare to fight, otherwise it wouldn't be 3,000 people.

Damn, why are you bullying Lao Tzu because a civilian official doesn't understand the military?

The scout who was spying outside came back covered in blood, and was taken all the way up to the city tower, and when he saw Qiu Shuxuan, the scout said loudly: "Ruler, the villain and his subordinates have found the enemy camp, up to 3,000 people!" ”

Qiu Shuxuan looked at Zhi Jimin and glanced at each other, and suddenly laughed.

This is the right bet, a certain meritorious service!

Zhi Jimin also smiled, and the city gradually became full of laughter.

Then he thought of the group of fools on Hedong Road...... You played so early, and you said that the Western Xia would raise a large army to attack the Great Song Dynasty.

The result?

Once the report was approved by the imperial court, and then the armies from all over the country gathered on the border, the result was that the Tanguts were only building momentum.

Shame or not?

Will you be killed by Liao's jokes at that time?

"Now it's certain that Xixia is bluffing, but there is something unclear about so-and-so, what are they doing this for?"

Qiu Shuxuan slowly frowned again.

An army of 3,000 people is not much for a country, but it is also a force, and they are clamoring on the border like this, aren't they afraid that after the Great Song Dynasty understands it, they will wave their troops to counterattack?

If the Great Song Dynasty has a temper, then these 3,000 people will easily be wiped out.

"Or ......"

Fold Ji Min Meifeng raised, but Qiu Shuxuan hurriedly shook his head: "Don't!" ”

It's one thing to make a report, but it's another thing to take the initiative.

Since the fall of the Yuan, the army of the Great Song Dynasty has forgotten what it means to take the initiative to attack, and many times it is defense, and to put it bluntly, it is passively beaten.

The imperial court strictly supervised the military generals on the border, and the fear was profound.

If Ji Min dared to send troops to attack Western Xia without permission, the nature of this matter would also change, and even if he won the battle in the end, the court would not reward him.

Maybe he'll be punished!

This is the keen sense of smell of civil officials.

Qiu Shuxuan may not understand the sergeant, but he understands politics, especially the purpose of the imperial court to set up the Hedong Road Military Division...... Isn't it just to check and balance Linfu Road?

You don't want to live well, and you still want to attack?

Don't pull me if you want to die......

Zhi Jimin sighed helplessly, his face was full of loneliness, and he looked into the distance and said lightly: "It's a pity!" ”

There were not many people in Western Xia, and they were not much prepared.

If you lead troops to raid at this moment, these 3,000 people will be sure to be wiped out!

"It's a pity, it's a pity to die ......"

Qiu Shuxuan glanced at him angrily, and said coldly: "The report will be sent out, and the credit has not yet arrived...... I don't care what you want to do, but not now! ”

When the court's reward comes, I will leave this hellish place.

The rest will not do our business, you can toss it casually, even if Li Deming's family is caught in Bianliang, it has nothing to do with me.
