Southern Song Dynasty military god

Chapter 46 The decisive battle in Xianyang City caused a sudden disaster

Liu Wei's guess was right. The reason why these golden soldiers have always been more polite to Zhang Han and other captives is because they are still waiting for Jin Wushu's order.

In fact, Zhang Han didn't know about some situations. The group of golden soldiers who captured them was not Jin Wushu's men and horses, but a Mouke team under Nianhan's command.

Jin Wushu suffered setbacks in Niutoushan and Huang Tiandang, and the news that hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers were killed or injured had already spread throughout the Jin Kingdom, and Jin Wushu offered a high reward for the location of Gaojiazhuang. All the Jinbing troops know it well.

In Niutoushan, Jin Wushu was almost able to make a fortune. Who knew that Gao Chong and Liu Wei, one of them dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Jin army, which had finally recovered, and the other directly caused Jin Wushu to lose to Niutoushan. How could Jin Wushu let them go so easily?
Therefore, when Jin Bingxizuo heard that Zhang Han's Song army was going to Gaojiazhuang, he immediately contacted the nearest Erjin army and sent a team to intercept and arrest Zhang Han and others.

According to the order of the leader of the Mouke team, Zhang Han and others were sent to Huining Mansion via Xianyang, because Jin Wushu was leading his troops back to Huining Mansion, and of course it would be better to hand them over directly to Jin Wushu. good.But no one thought that after a night's rest at the post station outside Xianyang City, the cooked duck would fly away!
At dawn, the golden soldiers guarding the captives woke up rubbing their eyes. When their eyes glanced at the dozen wooden stakes, they were stunned—a wooden stake was bare, as if it was erected somewhere to mock their middle finger .

"What about people?"

A bundle of cut hemp ropes on the ground, the neat breaks made the golden soldiers guarding the captives feel terrified. They began to rejoice that the enemy who sneaked in last night was only for saving people, if it was for killing people.Thinking of this, the Jin Bing who slept here last night couldn't help touching their necks one by one, and then rushed to report.

Jin Bingmouke, who was sleeping with his head covered in the inn, was awakened by a frenzied knock on the door. He was about to lift up a bench and smash the head of the person who dared to dream about him, when he was stunned by the escape of the captives. up!
From ancient times to the present, China seems to have a tradition of deceiving others. In order to shirk responsibility, the soldiers guarding the captives did not tell Mou Ke the truth of the matter. They burned the hemp rope that was cut by Liu Wei. Then he told Mouk that the captive escaped by himself.

"Trash, idiot!"

The enraged Mouke didn't care to teach his subordinates a lesson, packed up and hurried to the camp. After confirming that only one prisoner escaped, he was greatly relieved.

Then he ordered all the captives to have no food to eat, and all of them set out immediately and entered Xianyang City directly. He also arranged [-] people to search for clues on the spot and try to find the lost captives as quietly as possible.

Why try to keep quiet?
This Mouke is not stupid, if there is a lot of commotion but he is not found, what if the escaped guy is the only one among these Song Army prisoners who really knows the location of Gaojiazhuang?If this is the case, when the time comes when Jin Wushu blames him, this Moke can just find any Han Chinese and stamp his face to death, saying that he resisted and was killed during the arrest process, so as to defuse his charges.

In this way, a turmoil was quietly resolved because of Jin Bing's own internal corruption, and even made Liu Weibai worry about a quarter of Xianyang City.

Xianyang City has been regarded as a big city since ancient times. At this time, the gates of the city are open, and there are really many people coming in and out.

In order to avoid being suspected, Liu Wei and Zhang Han acted separately.

Liu Wei, who was dressed in rags and smelly, hunched over and passed under the eyes of two rows of city guards. He stretched out his begging hand tremblingly, and the black palm made the city guards frown. It is they who reach out to the people who enter and leave the city, how can beggars reach out to them!
"roll!"

A big foot kicked on Liu Wei's body, Liu Wei's whole body seemed to have no bones, he stumbled, and almost "rolled" towards the crowd.

The gate of the city was already extremely crowded, and the dirty and smelly Liu Wei slammed into it in a circle, which immediately caused a commotion in the crowd. Even though he had just picked vegetables from the vegetable field, his legs were still carrying mud into the city. The peasants in the village don't want to be associated with Liu Wei, a crazy and smelly beggar.

The giggling Liu Wei muttered a tune that no one could understand, and staggered into the city gate. The Jin Bing who witnessed all this didn't care about him at all. He was a madman anyway.
In this way, Liu Wei passed the checkpoint at the gate of the city smoothly, and because of the commotion he caused, Zhang Han was in vain. Dressed as a farmer, he also sneaked into the gate of the city. Not only was he not searched, but Save money.

Xianyang City was very prosperous in the Northern Song Dynasty. After all, it also had a glorious history and the population was not low.But after being occupied by the Kingdom of Jin, more than half of the officials who originally lived in Xianyang were killed by the Jin army; more than half of the rich people who lived in Xianyang ran away early.

If there is a lack of rich people in a city, its various indicators will inevitably decline accordingly. In addition to the plundering of the golden people, even the poor will lose many people. In the end, the popularity of Xianyang City will not be as good as before. Those Song people at the bottom of the society couldn't leave. I'm afraid that Xianyang City will either become an empty city or a dead city.

After Liu Wei entered the city, he quickly turned to an unoccupied alley, and Zhang Han, who followed closely behind, also followed when he was sure that no one was paying attention.

"Brother Liu, what should we do next?"

"Look for a place to stay first. I haven't told you yet. In fact, I came to Xianyang City to find a family, a big family named Wang." Turning his eyes around, Liu Wei didn't find anything obtrusive. The depression made him feel even more. It may not be easy for Song people to live under the rule of Jin, so he couldn't help shaking his head and said:
"I don't know if that family is still there during this time of chaos."

"I said how could I just meet Brother Liu, are you here to visit relatives?" Zhang Han asked again.

"Then what kind of relatives are there?" Liu Wei thought for a while, and felt that it didn't matter to tell Zhang Han, so he briefly explained his purpose of coming to Xianyang, and by the way, he took Zhang Han to find an abandoned private house.

In Xianyang City, in such a short alley that Liu Wei and Zhang Han passed by, three or five households out of twenty Shanghai residents were abandoned. According to this ratio, the population of the entire Xianyang City has at least dropped. Twenty or thirty percent.

In fact, this ratio is relatively low in the area occupied by the Kingdom of Jin, because the people of the Kingdom of Jin have always ruled the people of the Song Dynasty brutally and simply.

This is the sadness of being ruled by a foreign race, not only the Jin Kingdom, but also the Mongolian Kingdom that followed. When Zhu Chongba established the Ming Dynasty, the Han people took a breath, but they couldn’t last for hundreds of years. The savages with pigtails ruled for decades.

Liu Wei remembered these histories, so he did not write anger on his face like Zhang Han did.

The house the two walked into at this time turned out to be a house with three entrances and three exits. Although there was no front yard and backyard, it was definitely not an ordinary residence. At least it should be regarded as a middle-class family. He escaped, or died, the door panels were all removed, and weeds had grown in the cracks between the threshold stones.

"Zhang Han, go and tidy up a house and come out. I will look around everywhere. There may be snakes hiding in this kind of place. Be careful!" After telling Zhang Han, Liu Wei walked around the abandoned house. It's been a long time since no one lived there, and the roofs of several houses were broken. The sunlight came in through the holes, reflecting the dust brought up by Liu Wei's walking, forming beams of light.

In those dilapidated rooms, Liu Wei saw a decaying loom, and in another small room, there was a baby cradle that was about to fall apart.

As for the big bed that the owner slept in, I don’t know who has demolished it. Judging from the solid wood at the foot of the bed, the big bed used to be made of excellent wood.

When Liu Wei checked around and returned to Zhang Han's room, the industrious soldier had already tidied up the room. Although it was still a bit dilapidated, at least the dust in the room was almost gone. Days shouldn't be a problem.

"Brother Liu, what shall we do next?"

Both of them were sitting on the wooden plank. Zhang Han stared at Liu Wei with staring eyes. In fact, he was already very anxious. It was only because Liu Wei had not made a statement, so he gritted his teeth and waited.

"If you don't worry about being found out, you can go to the south gate and find out if the golden soldier has not entered the city. I will hurry up and look for the Wang family. I don't know if it is still there."

In fact, Liu Wei had already made up his mind, and these two things could not be delayed, so even if he was a little worried, he could only do so.

There was a "cheeping" belly groan following Liu Wei's words. Liu Wei and Zhang Han looked at each other, and then both smiled wryly.

Hunger, this is human nature, not a problem, the problem is that neither of them has anything to eat, and this is the real problem.

"Brother Liu, I can't bear it."

Maybe it was a little embarrassed to be stared at by Liu Wei, Zhang Han couldn't help but said.

"If you can't help it, you have to hold it back. I can't change it and give it to you, but there is still a little silver. You can buy it yourself!"

From the sole of the shoe, two silver particles the size of a little finger were taken out, and the surface was already blackened.Liu Wei handed over the two pieces of silver to Zhang Han, and he couldn't say anything. He stood up and cleaned up. In fact, he pretended to be more like a beggar, so he hunched over and walked to the street.

The day's plan is in the morning. In this era without modern technology, most things must be done when there is sunshine, so almost no one has the habit of sleeping late, and they all get up early and get busy.

There are beggars like Liu Wei on the street.After hitting Liu Wei on the street, he ran into him twice in a blink of an eye, and they all said that his colleagues were enemies. The beggar really looked at Liu Wei with a hostile look.

This made Liu Wei amused, but at the same time a little sad. Perhaps, as later generations said, the reason why China has never been strong is because the Chinese people like internal friction too much.

The competition between each other has created huge resistance, dragging the chariot of China on the muddy road all the time, how can it get up fast?

After walking for a while, Liu Wei asked, the Wang's house, it seems that it should be here after turning the corner of this street.

　It's past 8 o'clock in the evening, the weather is hot, hot, hot, and the wind is also very hot on such a hot day, why don't you give me a popsicle?What, no popsicles, 200 gold coins are enough to buy one for Judo.
