In March, the north is still icy and snowy.

After the ice and snow melt in some places, there is a lot of mud as far as the eye can see, not to mention people, and even war horses are reluctant to set foot in it.

"It's cold!"

On the edge of a small stream, more than 300 Song soldiers were repairing.

The horses were shaving the snow and then sticking out their mouths to look for the sprouts of grass below, and the place where everyone was walking to relieve the stiffness caused by long-term riding.

Xie Ting was looking at the south, and there was a little more confusion between his eyebrows.

"How do you feel...... Something is wrong? ”

Xie Ting was the commander-in-chief of this mission, and the team of 300 people was all under his leadership, and everyone seemed to have long been accustomed to this kind of dependence.

So as soon as they heard that something was wrong, the surrounding Northern Expeditionary soldiers immediately became nervous as if they were facing a great enemy.

Next to him is Niu Mang, the head of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and a team of twenty people led under the helmet, who is the top elite in the Northern Expeditionary Army, and any one of them can defeat ten masters.

Hearing this, Niu Mang held the handle of the knife in his hand, and his eyes were keenly patrolling around, "Brother Ting, how does it feel?" ”

Xie Ting smiled and said: "It's okay, Lao Tzu is in a hurry, find a place to borrow your hand, you can continue to repair, and we will set off later." ”

The people around laughed, and then those who ate dry food ate ate dry food, and those who fed the horses fed the horses, and the laughter returned.

Xie Ting motioned for Niu Mang to join him.

The two walked out of this place, and after seeing that no one would hear it, Niu Mang said in a low voice: "Brother Ting, did you find anything?" ”

He knew that with Xie Ting's keen sense of smell, he would never be untargeted.

Xie Ting also lowered his head and whispered: "I feel that the danger comes from the south, as if someone is watching us, and they seem to have known about our existence for a long time......"

Niu Mang was a little speechless, and frowned: "Then why didn't you say it just now?" ”

Xie Ting's smile was still not serious, and he said lightly: "I don't say it, I'm worried that someone will be upset...... We are already worried in Liaojing, and we must be cautious about everything at this time...... Understand? ”

Niu Mang reacted at this time and nodded: "Brother Ting is talking about ......"

Xie Ting looked at the distance and said in a quiet voice: "Since Lang Jun values that white branch flower so much, even if he is desperate, he has to find it...... Lao Niu, Lang Jun is not thin on us, you can't be confused. ”

Niu Mang was looking at the south, and when he heard the words, he said: "Yes, for Lang Jun, continue to set off!" ”

The team continued north until they saw the walls of the province of Sitsu......

Xie Ting turned around and said to the soldiers: "Brothers, I feel that I am in danger......

Niu Mang stared at these people from the sidelines, and if someone wavered, he would do it mercilessly, but fortunately, no one advised him to run away immediately.

"They are all good brothers, Lang Jun is not good to you in vain!"

Xie Ting also put his mind at ease and said lightly: "Don't worry, there is so-and-so, and I will definitely take you to the top." But now...... Let us go into the city and ...... with the Liao people How about playing with their women? ”

"Good!"

The nervousness that had just arisen was washed away by these words.

The soldiers hid their horses with a giggle, and then disguised themselves again, and one by one escaped from the street hooligans.

Setsu Province.

This was once the Youzhou of the former Tang Dynasty, and after being obtained by the Liao, it was first renamed Youdu, and then renamed Xijin Mansion.

Xijin Mansion is considered a majestic city, and after scattering into the city, Xie Ting found the powerful family who used to be a subordinate in the way.

A few people quietly entered through the back door.

As the Nanjing of the Liao people, the city still set up the Dongxifang City in accordance with the old system of the former Tang Dynasty, and there are walls and fangmen everywhere, there are 300,000 people here, and all kinds of people have it, Han, Liao, Xi, Bohai, Jurchen......

It has a bit of the meaning of the Tang Dynasty when all countries came to the dynasty.

At this point, the Liao people can be regarded as imitating the essence.

Just like Qin Wei said: Foreigners will always know how to learn the culture and advantages of the Central Plains people better than the Central Plains people.

Since it is Nanjing, there must naturally be an imperial city, just in the southwest of the city, there is a sub-city, not big, not gorgeous, but there are more houses, this is the so-called imperial city.

The courtyard of this powerful family is close to the imperial city, and it looks quite gorgeous.

At this time, the snow has not yet thawed, and the Liao and Song dynasties have been peaceful for many years, and the magnates have long lost their vigilance, and the owner of this house is watching the dance in the front hall.

The dancers were two Han girls, but the musicians on the side were from Bohai.

Who said that barbarians don't know how to enjoy, it's because they haven't seen the world.

The owner of this house looked like he was in his thirties, sitting on the side drinking, humming a few words along with the tune from time to time, which was extremely pleasant.

Singing and singing, a subordinate came over and said: "Master, the government has just come to the news, saying that a small group of Song people has infiltrated the city, and the government government said that we should be more vigilant, and once we find out, we will kill all of them, but we must keep the heads and things that can prove that they are Song people." ”

The owner of this family is a descendant of a civil official in Northern Liao, and he can be regarded as half a literati, but at this moment, he is drinking wine with one hand and gnawing on a leg of mutton with the other, and he does not have the demeanor of a scribe at all.

He raised his head slightly, and suddenly scolded: "Does the Han dog dare to come to Nanjing to look for death?" Wait for Lao Tzu to rush and kill them one by one! ”

The song stopped, and the two Han girls were shivering......

Here, they are lambs to be slaughtered, but they are much better treated than the two-legged sheep back then, and the Liao people even set up the so-called southern officials to rule the Han people with the Han system.

This is similar to the king of the Southern Courtyard who Qiao Feng later became in the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon, specially used to control the Han people, from the army, officials to ordinary businessmen.

The man looked at the only remaining bones on the leg of mutton, and suddenly threw it out.

The sheep bone smashed into the chest of a Chinese woman, rebounded and fell to the ground.

The Han girl didn't dare to move, she was just trembling.

The man stood up, his eyes fierce in his eyes. He muttered, "Is this looking for death?" Those Han Chinese are just a bunch of cunning brutes, except that their women are comfortable...... Men deserve to die. ”

He strode over, and then went to pull at the clothes of a Chinese woman.

The Han girl subconsciously stretched out her hand to protect the placket, but was slapped by the man and knelt on the ground, the man probably felt that the Han girl's disobedience made him lose face, so he raised his head and shouted, and the people around him hurriedly retreated.

One man and two women...... The tragic and fragrant scene is entangled.

The man grabbed the Han girl's hair and dragged it directly behind, the Han girl didn't dare to struggle, so she could only cry and shout: "The slave doesn't sell himself, the slave family only dances...... I want to marry someone in the future......"

Where would men care about this.

One in one hand, he dragged the two Han girls to the back, laughing from time to time, looking extremely happy.

After turning the front yard and entering the door of the inner courtyard, there is another world.

The two Chinese women grabbed the man's wrists, but they didn't dare to struggle anymore.

All the way to the outside of the bedroom, the man kicked open the door, and then laughed, "Han women are comfortable, they can always make people think about it, let Lao Tzu teach you how to be a woman today......"

The man kicked open the door and suddenly found a person standing in the room, as if he had been waiting here for a long time.

"Huh?!"

Anyone who sees such a scene will be shocked.

The man was only slightly surprised, and then he swung his fist at him, and his reaction was not at all like a literati.

Niu Mang didn't seem to move, he stretched out one hand and grabbed his wrist, and the other hand grabbed his throat, gradually exerting force.

Cluck!

The man's throat sounded similar to that of a hen after laying eggs, his face was red, and his eyes were desperate.

"Niu Mang, don't kill it, you want a confession."

Xie Ting came in from outside, and when he saw the two Han girls hiding to the side in fear, he smiled and said, "You are Han people, you don't need to panic." ”

But the two Han girls were even more panicked when they heard this, and one of them subconsciously opened his mouth and shouted: "Help......"

Xie Ting's eyes showed a fierce light, and he shouted: "Call again to kill you." ”

The screaming stopped abruptly, and there was silence all around.

Suddenly, there was a short scream from the front yard, and someone was running......

"Save ......"

A few villagers came in from the front yard, their eyes were full of bloodthirsty excitement, and they looked like they had just killed someone, and the smell of blood on their bodies was gradually dissipating.

"Brother Ting, it's all cleaned up."

Xie Ting nodded, then relaxed, squatted down and frowned at the Han girl who shouted for help just now, and asked, "Why are you afraid of me waiting?" We are also Han Chinese. ”

The Han girl just shook her head, with fear in her eyes.

Xie Ting said helplessly: "We are Han people!" That man was ready to do it to you, if it weren't for us...... You two have long been insulted. ”

"Slave, it's a prostitute......"

Ma's!

Xie Ting only felt a sense of depression in his chest, and wanted to howl uncomfortably.

Is the prostitute justified or what? We are kind enough to save you, but you want to harm me, we are all compatriots, why is this......

"Would you like to go back with us? Come with us later if you wish...... Save yourself and wait for these Liao beasts later......"

In his opinion, being able to return to the Great Song Dynasty is a blessing for them.

"I don't want to."

But the two Han girls shook their heads in unison and refused.

"Why?"

Xie Ting was disappointed in his heart, thinking that these two Han girls were not cheap?

One of the Han girls leaned forward and said, "Uncle, I heard that the people in the south live hard, and we can eat here, so ......."

No matter what profession it is, you can eat well.

But if you go back to the Great Song Dynasty...... Losing the festival is small, starving to death is big!

Xie stood up and said with a wry smile: "This is ...... special"

When the Liao people first took over the Yanyun area, the Han people often broke out in uprisings and struggles. But after the Liao people gradually began to treat the Han people well, the situation changed.

A soldier said in a low voice: "Brother Ting, I heard that in the past, some people in Fuzhou and Hebei Road would also come here secretly, and most of them were voluntary......"

"This ......"

Xie Ting sighed and said helplessly: "I only know at this moment why Lang Jun always looks down on those officials in the court...... They're all fools! ”

originally thought that he was the king's teacher, and even if the Han people in the north didn't greet each other with pot pulp, they would at least clap their hands and celebrate, right?

I didn't expect it...... This is the result.

"The taxes here are lower than those of the Great Song Dynasty...... Even the people who come from the south will have the government subsidize production every year...... It's so ......."

Xie Ting was speechless, "Lang Jun said that he wanted to go on a northern expedition and restore Youyan, but in this case...... Even if we can fight, these Han people are afraid that they will not welcome it, and they will even pick up knives and guns to fight us! What the fuck is going on? Who is the Central Plains Orthodoxy? ”

With a frustrated sword, he slashed down the cabinet next to him.

The villagers stood in the courtyard, only silently...... Why is there such indifference between the same people? And they have to fight each other.

But what they don't know is.

Many years later, Huizong and the Jin people successfully went on a northern expedition, but after the Song army entered Youzhou City, they robbed the Han people and ruined the last bit of bloodline inheritance.

So much so that when the Jin people invaded the Song Dynasty in the south, the Han people in the north not only did not feel sad, but enthusiastically joined the army......

What is the future of a country mixed up in this way?

The collapse of the country has never had anything to do with external enemies, most of them rotted from the inside, and the role of external enemies was just a slight push, and this dilapidated house collapsed with a bang.

"I want to tell Lang Jun!"

Xie Ting calmed down a little, and said word by word: "Remember!" No matter who goes back alive, after waiting for Bianliang, he must convey the thoughts of these Han people in Youzhou to Lang Jun! ”

Xie Ting felt that Qin Wei must have a way to reverse this trend.

Otherwise, what's the point of the Northern Expedition?

The bugle they once prided themselves on now seemed more like a joke.

"Brother Ting, our whereabouts have been known."

Niu Mang has bad news.

Xie Ting sneered: "I always felt that something was wrong along the way, it seems that I was really discovered, and I immediately found those seeds, let's go back immediately!" ”

The soldiers soon found a lot of seeds of white branch flowers, and then played the ability to steal chickens and dogs, and searched for a while in the homes of the surrounding magnates, and gained a lot.

Several bags of seeds are broken up, and one person carries a little so that even if someone dies, the others can bring back the remaining seeds.

While the city gates were still closed, the soldiers dispersed and gathered outside the city.

Xie Ting glanced back at Xijin Mansion, raised his head and sighed, and said, "I hope that when I come back next time, this place will become a Great Song Dynasty...... No, it's Youzhou of the Han people in the Central Plains! ”

……

All the way across the Sorghum River.

Xie Ting and the others didn't have time to sigh about the big battle that took place here that year, and night fell...... I don't know what kind of mood the sorghum river car god was like after he escaped.

"I think something is wrong."

Fetching water by the river and eating dry food, the soldiers who were originally going to camp were hurriedly called out by Xie Ting, "Don't rest, leave immediately!" All ready, I'm afraid I'm going to kill someone this time. ”

There are more than 200 miles from here to Fuzhou, which seems not far, but Xie Ting feels that there is a crisis everywhere.

Not long after they left, a group of horsemen came with torches.

Someone dismounted and looked at the river, turned around and shouted, "There are people who have lived here, two or three hundred people, and all of them have horses, it seems that they have come prepared!" ”

A general sneered, "It should be them...... It's a lot of guts! Do you really dare to come to Xijin Mansion...... Get all the scouts out, find them, and go! ”

The horses' hooves broke through the ice floe, and the young grass that had just begun to emerge underneath was splashed with grass juice from the trampling.

A chase battle unfolded silently on the ice-breaking northern plains.
