(In the previous chapter, Lao Zhu wrote the Jianbi Qingye as Jianbi Qingye, and made a statement to correct it. It is also a big mistake for Lao Zhu to read less and his input method is too powerful, and he can even type out the wrong ones. Thanks to the book friends for reminding me, sorry.)

Li Gang received Zheng Zhi's letter and rushed to Hejian Mansion, leading dozens of yamen officials and more than a thousand cavalrymen.

Then he headed to the various prefectures and prefectures, and Wu Yong also followed Li Gang to act. More than a thousand cavalrymen were flying dust on the official road. The advantage of Hebei was that most places were flat and the official road was spacious and straight, which was most suitable for the galloping of a strong horse.

Why Zheng Zhi insisted on Li Gang to do this is actually something in his mind.

During this errand, Li Gang probably offended the entire Hebei two roads and Hedong road officialdom. Li Gang was indirectly isolated in his political career.

Perhaps, this is the effect Zheng Zhi wants. Li Gang must be firmly tied to Zheng Zhi's ship.

In the northwest Lingzhou City, the Han people in the city, whether they are willing or unwilling, are packing up valuables at home and preparing to move south to Qinfeng.

Outside Lingzhou City, on the edge of the Tengger Desert, yellow sand was raging in the sky, and the grass on the ground had already turned yellow. This grass near the desert was really barren.

Suddenly, a team of 100 iron armored knights appeared on the skyline. The 100 people stopped on a slope, and a man took off the cloth covering his face and looked into the distance.

A knight next to him came forward and said, "Du Tou, over there, look, seven or eight camps."

This all looked towards the direction the man pointed by the side, and said, "Damn, these Dangxiang dogs are like rats. When Mr. Zheng was in Lingzhou, he swept all this area completely. He didn't expect that there would be Dangxiang dogs grazing here."

"Du Tou, perhaps it is from the north and south. Winter is coming, so naturally these Dangxiang dogs come to the ground where there is grass."

He nodded, and slowly put the cloth covering his face again between his mouth and nose, tightened the stirrups, and shouted: "Kill here."

This is the second sweep. Zheng Zhi had sweeped it once when he was in Lingzhou. Now, it is Liu Fa who said that he should strengthen the walls and clear the fields and leave no supplies and Dangxiang.

Now outside Lingzhou City, to the edge of Tengli in the west and near Baichi City in the east, there are seven or eight teams of cavalry cruising around. These hundreds of cavalry are naturally the personal soldiers retained by the veteran Liu Fa. Liu Fa is really cruel in his actions. After decades of battle formation, he naturally will not have any kindness of a woman.

I saw that the team was actually racing down from the low slope. In the seven or eight camps in the distance, there were naturally Dangxiang herdsmen, some old and young. Suddenly, they heard horse hooves rising everywhere, all of whom came out to check, and when they saw the situation, they shouted loudly.

A few good horses were brought from left to right, and the women and children had already boarded the horse and headed north. The men were still searching for something everywhere, but they left without getting on the horse immediately.

Feather arrows rushed in the air. A distance of more than a hundred steps, many women and children who had already boarded their horses fell to the ground, wailing endlessly.

Looking at the man Dangxiang again, he was about to break up and did not run away on his horse, but ran straight towards the iron armor, in order to buy his wife and children a time to escape.

The face covered by cloth scarves saw this and shouted, "Lao Qi, take a bunch of people to chase the one in front."

A man next to him took a horse and went out to fight, followed by a man No. 20 or 30, with the crossbow in his hand buzzing.

The yellow sand is still permeating the sky, and the man who is racing immediately often lowers his head to rub his eyes. He is not someone who has experienced it personally, so how can he imagine the harshness of the northwest border?

The scorching sun is like blood, and human life is like grass. When the Dangxiang people went south, the unarmed Song people were just as helpless as these Dangxiang people today. They were even worse than these Dangxiang people. At least these dozens of Dangxiang people still had horses, had swords and weapons in their hands, and had the power to resist.

After killing people, they began to kill cattle and sheep. After killing cattle and sheep, hundreds of iron-armored men braved the yellow sand and began to dig pits to bury them. Winter is coming, and when the weather is cold and the earth is frozen, these cattle and sheep will not really rot even if they die for a few months, and they will still fill their stomachs. Only after being buried can they not be used by Dangxiang.

When everything is done, they take out the ready-made food and grass from the Dangxiang people and feed the horses. The soldiers hid in the tents, cooked mutton soup, and drank some strong wine. When the night is dawn, these tents will be burned.

The nomads in the north mostly attacked the border in winter. Most of the nomadic people went south, not to occupy territory or something, but purely plunder. In winter, the grassland was scarce, and these nomadic men had nothing else to do, so it was normal to organize them to go south to plunder.

Now Dangxiang is not robbed south, but is transported to the gambling table by the Western Xia Kingdom, trying to gamble out the future living space of the Dangxiang tribe.

In another half a month, Xu Shida came from the south and several yamen were escorting him all the way. Xu Shida did not suffer all the way, and he also thanked the gifts given by scholars from all walks of life when they visited the door during this period in Tokyo. It was a lot of money, and he had a small amount of money. He had a proper amount of money along the way, and he also ate well and slept soundly.

When he entered Weizhou, Xu Shida felt something was wrong with Weizhou. Recruiting soldiers and horses was the second choice. However, countless simple shacks were built outside Weizhou City, and the shacks were all dressed in decent people.

After a little guess in his heart, Xu Shida probably knew that these people must have come from the north, and was shocked. When he arrived at the city gate, Xu Shida hurriedly walked to a soldier guarding the city and asked, "Let's ask, is the war in the north a failure?"

The military man looked angry when he heard this and cursed: "Nothing is said, the war has not started yet, how dare you talk nonsense? I'm afraid you, a dog, want to ask for a fight."

As a military man in Weizhou, how could he bear such a crow's mouth? He was furious when he heard it and was already trying to fight.

Xu Shida quickly took a few steps back and said straight: "Misunderstanding, I just saw so many people from the north outside the city. I was so sorry that I thought too much."

After saying that, Xu Shida stepped into the city, and the military man behind him was errands and was chasing him in the future, but he was also cursing behind him.

After several soldiers took Xu Shida to the Weizhou Prefecture Office and handed over it. The Weizhou Prefect did not take Xu Shida's affairs seriously. Now more things need to be dealt with, so he called Xu Shida to report to Liu Fa's office in Pingxia City.

Xu Shida and several magistrates who sent out to inquire about it, and only then did he learn about the matter in the north. It turned out that this kind of family husband directly gave up Lingzhou, Jingsai Army Division, Xishoubaotai Army Division, and all the soldiers and the people retreated.

It also called it "Strength walls and clear fields".

It was Xu Shida's thought that such a large land of Song Dynasty, such a family husband was given to the Dangxiang people, and he was not even defending, so that the Dangxiang people could take back the land that countless Song army soldiers had sacrificed their lives to seize without spending one soldier.

Think deeper, this kind of teacher is not afraid of fighting and the enemy, so what else can there be explanation? Qin Fenglu and Xihe Lanhuang also have tens of thousands of soldiers, but they have collapsed without fighting.

Xu Shida seemed to see hope of turning back and the opportunity to return to Tokyo.

Why does Master Zhong need a person? He is the person who relies most under Tong Guan’s Privy Council. He has now been defeated before the battle and has lost a large area of ​​land. Such a serious crime. Isn’t it a chance for Wang Fu and Qin Hui to turn over?

At this time, the leader of the messenger escorted by Tokyo came forward to say goodbye to Xu Shida: "Xu Tuanlian, let's leave today. Thanks to these days of care, we will go back to Tokyo first. If Xu Tuanlian has the opportunity to return to Tokyo in the future, we will drink and have fun."

These men are also short-spoken. Along the way, all the expenses were from Xu Shida. Not only did they also collect Xu Shida's money, but they even saved the expenses paid by the public.

When Xu Shida heard the words, he hurriedly said, "Everyone, please ask me if you have something else later."

"Xu Tuanlian told me." The man knew in his heart that as long as he had something to ask, he would naturally have some benefits.

Xu Shida hurriedly took a few steps closer and said, "You can wait for a moment. I will write a letter. You will take it to Tokyo to Qin Hui and Qin Zhongcheng. Qin Zhongcheng will have a heavy reward. I will give you some money here and pay it to you all."

The messenger was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Some small things, Xu Tuanxuan is polite, so please ask Xu Tuanxuan to write a letter quickly. I can go on the road early."

Xu Shida didn't even need someone to urge him. He took a look at him, ran into a restaurant, and threw down some copper coins at the counter. He wrote quickly. The content of the book was nothing more than how Master Zhong was afraid of fighting and how he was afraid of the enemy, how he defeated before the battle, and how he handed over a large piece of land to the Dangxiang people.

After writing, the ink was dry, Xu Shida quickly kneaded the letter into a ball, asked someone to take some wax oil and melt it, wrap the letter tightly, and then it turned into a wax ball.

When he delivered, he said, "It is of great importance at this time, so people must not be able to read the letters. When you arrive in Tokyo, you will definitely be rewarded. Qin Zhongcheng will not treat you unfairly."

After saying that, he took out a ingot of silver from his arms and handed it to the policeman.

The policeman didn't care much about taking the wax balls. He just took them into his arms. When he took the silver, he smiled and said, "Thank you for your generosity. We will definitely handle this for you and will be safely handed over to Qin Zhongcheng."

Xu Shida seemed to be worried and sent these soldiers to the city gate all the way, giving instructions as he walked. Finally, he said: "I remember to bring another word to Qin Zhongcheng, which is that I am waiting for the reply at Pingxia City, but if I have a dispatch, I will be able to arrive in Tokyo within the next month."

"Don't worry, Xu Tuanlian, I keep everything you told me in mind. What I can't forget is that even the generosity of Xu Tuanlian throughout the journey, I dare not make any mistakes."

"Thank you, thank you. I will rely on your help if you can return to Tokyo to work. If you are transferred back to Tokyo to become an official in the future, you will definitely repay you with all your kindness." Xu Shida did his best to make these servants do their best to do this for him.
