Chapter 118 The Tartars are coming, but Weizhen Fort was abandoned

Chapter 118 The Tartars are coming, but Weizhen Fort is abandoned

Xu Xingxia thought it was quite good to buy such a large house of 250 taels. Such a house was indeed more than 500 taels. Of course, he had every reason to believe that Zhang Qiuqing would never be able to take advantage of him. Therefore, behind this transaction, there must be something shameful. Sure enough, the bigger trick came out soon. Zhang Qiuqing was anxious to give money and deliver it on the spot.

Xu Xingxia immediately felt even more wrong. What was wrong with Zhang Qiuqing? He was so anxious to use money? Or was he worried that he would not have the opportunity to pay in the future? It was very likely that it was the latter. Because Zhang Qiuqing owned thousands of acres of fertile land, it was impossible for him to lack the 250 taels of silver. Only the latter is credible. If so, the situation would be serious.

Even Xu Xingxia could vaguely feel that the reason why Zhang Qiuqing wanted to cash out the old house in Weizhen Fort as soon as possible was that the Tartars were coming again. He felt that the Weizhen Fort could not block the Tartars' attack and would definitely be razed to the ground. His old house was no exception. In this case, the amount of money can be cashed out is as much as possible. Damn, at this time, he was still thinking about making black money. It seems that Zhang Qiuqing's family's property must be very rich.

However, Xu Xingxia did not say it out loud. He wanted to see what Zhang Qiuqing was going to do. He went back to the Xu family, brought 250 taels of silver, and then found Chen Denglong and Lin Hainiu as the middleman in the transaction, and completed the transaction with Zhang Qiuqing on the spot. Zhang Qiuqing got the silver, and Xu Xingxia got the house deed. After careful inspection, he was sure that the house deed was indeed true.

After Zhang Qiuqing received the money, he felt relieved and said impatiently: "Xu Baihu, Weizhenbao will rely on you in the future. After I go back to Pinglu City, I will definitely strive to win more money and food for you in front of Lord Qianhu. If you have made greater contributions, even if you report to me, I will definitely work hard to win rewards for you."

Xu Xingxia said in his heart, "You bastard still try your best to get money and food for me?" Try to get rewards for me? It's good if you don't make trouble for me. Damn, just collude with Tartars for you, understand the foreign countries, just wash your neck and wait for death!" I have only one principle when dealing with traitors, that is: kill! He stood up calmly, bent down to salute, and said respectfully: "Since that's the case, my subordinates will send the deputy Qianhu to the fort gate!"

Zhang Qiuqing said repeatedly: "No, no, Xu Baihu, you are busy! You are busy!"

After saying that, he turned around and took his entourage, hurriedly left Weizhen Fort and returned to Pinglu City. Seeing their horses galloping, Xu Xingxia only felt that Zhang Qiuqing was eager to leave Weizhen Fort and did not dare to stay here for a moment. If he was just afraid of repentance, he would be a little too obsessed.

Chen Denglong said with some concern: "Master Baihu, the situation seems to be a little wrong! Why is the deputy Qianhu so anxious to deal with his real estate? His house is more than 250 taels! Also, why is he so anxious to leave Weizhen Fort? It seems that there are Tartars chasing behind him. However, there are obviously no Tartars behind him!"

Xu Xingxia said coldly: "It's not that something is wrong, it's very wrong."

Lin Hainiu hurriedly asked, "Master Baihu, has something big happened?"

Xu Xingxia nodded and said with a cold expression: "I feel that something big is going to happen in Weizhen Fort, so Zhang Qiuqing is so anxious to deal with his real estate."

Chen Denglong couldn't wait to say, "What's the big deal?"

A sneer appeared on the corner of Xu Xingxia's mouth and said slowly: "Do you think there is anything else that can make Zhang Qiuqing so nervous in Weizhen Fort?"

Chen Denglong's face changed slightly, and he said in horror: "Ah... Tartars!"

Lin Hainiu's face suddenly turned pale.

Are the Tartars coming to attack Weizhen Fort?

Xu Xingxia said coldly: "I guess the people received some news. They learned that the Tartars might move south in a large scale in the near future. Weizhen Fort was unsafe, so Zhang Qiuqing was so anxious to deal with his real estate. From this, it is inferred that the possibility of the Tartars moving south is still very high."

In fact, Xu Xingxia knew very well that the superiors did not receive any news, but that the Tartars were all attracted by them. Since Zhang Qiuqing could attract the Tartars for the first time, he would definitely attract the second time. Last time Sobd was for himself, and this time it was probably for him. Sobd would not easily fail, and he would definitely make a comeback. Weizhen Fort is indeed in danger, and it is still a big danger.

Last time, Sobud arrived in a hurry and was not prepared enough. The number of Tatar cavalry he brought was too small, so he was defeated by himself and had to escape far back to the Hellejin tribe. Last time, Sobud was completely caused by carelessness and unexpected attacks, and had nothing to do with the strength of both sides. With the lessons from the last time, this time, Sobud would definitely learn from the bloody lessons and lead more cavalry to the south.

He even had some simple siege equipment to change the tactics that the Tatar cavalry had never attacked before, such as cloud ladders, and simple cloud ladders, without much trouble when they were transported. Sobud could even send people to Helan Mountain to cut down wood and make siege equipment after he arrived near Weizhen Fort. As long as there was cloud ladders, the castle at an average height could not stop the brave Tartars.

The city wall of Weizhen Fort is not very high. The highest place is less than three zhang, the shortest place is even only two zhang. Such a castle wall can be climbed up easily with a ladder. From the perspective of the defender, it is indeed very dangerous. Moreover, what's more serious is that even if Xu Xingxia now has enough money and manpower and material resources, it is impossible to increase the castle wall.

Chen Denglong asked nervously: "Sir, what should we do?"

Xu Xingxia said calmly: "Don't panic. It's just that the Tartars arrived. In the past, it wasn't that without Tartars arrived, and Weizhen Fort was safe and sound?"

Chen Denglong and Lin Hainiu felt a little calmer when they thought of Xu Xingxia's perverted skills. However, in the face of the huge pressure from the arrival of the Tartars, they still felt quite urgent. Even Zhang Qiuqing was not optimistic about Weizhen Fort and completely broke away from his relationship with Weizhen Fort. What does this mean? It means that the superiors may have to completely give up Weizhen Fort. Once the Tartars really arrive, reinforcements will not be able to arrive Weizhen Fort.

Xu Xingxia certainly understood the dangers here. He knew better than anyone else that this time, the traitor colluded with the Tartars and wanted to kill him. Zhang Qiuqing even sold his old house for his own life. It is conceivable what kind of crazy actions the Tartars would be when they arrived. He could despise the Tartars strategically, but in tactical terms, he had to pay attention to the Tartars.

After pondering for a moment, Xu Xingxia said calmly: "No need to delay, Lin Hainiu, you can immediately call all members of the management committee to come here and have a meeting!"

Lin Hainiu hurriedly went there.

Soon, the six general flags of the management committee came to the back garden of Zhang Qiuqing's house. The pavilion in the back garden that had been bought by Xu Xingxia became a temporary conference room. Maybe I learned some news from Lin Hainiu that the expressions on the faces of each general flag were relatively nervous. After they arrived, they all had their faces tense and no one spoke.

They had no choice but to be nervous. Judging from the various signs of Zhang Qiuqing, Weizhen Fort is an abandoned child and no one takes care of him. Can Weizhen Fort rely on its own strength to survive this crisis alone? To be honest, they have no such confidence. Because, before, there has never been such a precedent. They dare not imagine the consequences of being abandoned.

Xu Xingxia said slowly: "I will briefly introduce the relevant situation first. There are some signs that in the near future, in half a month, or even within ten days, a large number of Tartars will go south to wash away the entire Weizhen Fort. There are some signs that this time, the superiors may not take care of our Weizhen Fort. Specifically, there are no reinforcements, and we will die by our own life and death."

When Xu Xingxia personally confirmed that Weizhenbao had been abandoned, the hearts of the general flags became even more bitter. In this era, no one smoked before dry tobacco appeared. Each general flag had his head hung down and his emotions seemed relatively low. Some people rubbed their hands hard, while others were concentrating on their feet. If anyone had changed, they would not be able to rise when they heard such bad news. This is a big event that concerns their wealth and life!

After a slight pause, Xu Xingxia continued to say slowly: "To be honest, this situation is indeed very bad. Our Weizhenbao itself has not strong protection capabilities. Once the number of Tartars exceeds 300 people, we will be very dangerous. However, no matter how dangerous it is, we cannot surrender. Each of us will have to fight to the end!"

"I don't know why the superiors abandon us. I can only say that no matter who abandons us, we cannot abandon ourselves. I guess no one here wants to fall into the hands of the Tartars, right? No one wants their relatives to die in the hands of the Tartars, right? Since we don't want to, we can only fight hard!"

Lei Hongguo said with some concern: "Master Baihu, we all understand what you mean. No one wants to die, right? But without the reinforcements from Pinglu City, can we beat the Tartars? The total number of people in our Weizhen Fort is only more than 3,000!"
