"Official, just now inspector Sang sent someone back to report that everything went well in his place. He had broken the village at the entrance of the valley and entered the prefecture city on the north side of Hebei."

Tan Hu came in from outside and reported excitedly to Xu Ping, who was sitting in peace.

"Oh, I didn't expect it to be so soon." Xu Ping straightened up and thought for a moment, "You send someone back to Pingxiang and ask Han Zong to come to me for some discussion. Also, I will pass on my military orders, the troops in Menzhou and Pingxiangdong were originally scheduled to go to Guangyuanzhou. I will start preparing tonight and set off tomorrow!"

Tan Hu Yingnuo turned around and went out.

Xu Ping stood up, stood at the table and looked at the sand table, estimating the current situation.

Originally, Sang Yi broke through the village at the entrance of the valley and asked if he wanted to send troops to occupy it, but Xu Ping rejected it. He had no intention of confronting Jiadong for a long time, so why bother to do this? It also made them suspicious.

After entering Liangzhou this time, Jiadong may ask Shenglong Mansion for reinforcements. Before that, it is estimated that it will be to stand firm and wait for assistance. The distance from Shenglong Mansion to Liangzhou is not much different from the distance from Menzhou to Guangyuan Mansion. Xu Ping has been prepared here and should be able to get time.

After pacifying Guangyuanzhou, returning to the army and the army, concentrating the forces of the Xiang army and the sugarcane business to capture Liangzhou, the war in this area should be over. Liangzhou, like Menzhou, is a place where the Song Dynasty and Jiaozhi are unclear, and whoever takes it will belong to him. Even if Jiaozhi is unwilling to give up and sends troops from all over the country to attack, as long as the road is built there, Liangzhou will have nothing to do with the sugarcane business, and it is just arguing.

After looking at it for a while, Xu Ping sat back on the chair, leaned against the back of the chair and looked up at the roof, breathing a sigh of relief.

After doing this, my years in Yongzhou have ended successfully. It is time to leave.

The eighth year of Tiansheng, the sugar service was established. By March and April of the next year, Xu Ping's term of office was completed, and the magistrate of Yongzhou was almost over two terms. It was time to return to the capital. No matter how unpopular he was, he did not make him continue to be on duty. Some people really did it, and they could even refuse to take the position of office on their parents' age.

In any case, Xu Ping is determined to stay in Kaifeng in the next few years and will not be beaten to death. After working hard for the past few years, he should also enjoy a happy life and taste the life of having a wife and a daughter.

Xu Ping started preparing since half a year ago and wrote to Lin Suniang, asking her to pay attention to her path in the capital. The Xu family has thousands of acres of land and a wealthy family. She is usually willing to rely on money and has two good friends. What's more, Lin Suniang not only has money, but her husband Xu Ping became an official in the early twenties. No matter how outsiders see her, she has a bright future. She is also well-known in the circle of women in the capital.

Xu Ping also asked him to help the same year as he could speak, especially Zhao Xu. Currently serving as a judge in the Sansi. Xu Ping wrote several letters to him, asking him to pay attention to him, and he would know him whenever he had any shortcomings.

Wang Su was also transferred to Xuzhou as a judge, which was close to the capital, and his path was wider, so Xu Ping also expressed his hope. He helped him take care of his nephew for several years, so he deserved some reward.

As for the top scholar Wang Yaochen, on the one hand, Xu Ping had only an average relationship with him, but on the other hand, he was the Qing Dynasty and wanted an official position. Although he always wandered around the emperor, the emperor would not be able to rely on the government at this time.

With Xu Ping's temperament, I still hope to work in the third department. Although the third department is relatively busy, the advantage of having too many things is that there are fewer chores and no need to talk to others every day. For example, the Censorate is the Censorate that Xu Ping hates the most. He practices writing skills and talks, but is not about Xu Ping's personality.

Winter has come, and spring is blooming in a blink of an eye. Xu Ping is a little impatient for returning to the capital. This is how people are. The more things come, the more they can't wait for a moment, and Xu Ping cannot escape the vulgarity.

In the Jiadong Prefectural Office, Jia Chenggui sat in the middle, including his son Jia Jirong, and several major leaders gathered beside him.

The flowing water of the servants outside reported the situation across the Qiongqi River.

"The Song army has broken through the Mashan military camp and entered Liangzhou!"

"The Song army has arrived outside Beiliangzhou City, and Li Zhizhou cannot stand there!"

"The Song army has surrounded Beiliangzhou, and Li Zhizhou is holding his back behind closed doors!"

"The Song army has already approached the banks of Qiongqi River and has not crossed the river!"

"The Song army moved along the Qiongqi River, and we have burned all the ferries on the river!"

"The Song army did not cross the river, but it was still by the river and did not retreat!"

Jia Chenggui looked at the family soldiers who reported the news and said in a deep voice: "What should you do if you tell me?"

Jia Jirong said: "According to the current situation, more than half of the troops in Yongzhou opposite were entering Liangzhou, and the visitors were not good! We only have more than 2,000 soldiers here, so we still stick to the rescue!"

"Don't you care about Qiongqi River? That's a natural danger!" a middle-aged man whispered.

Jia Jirong said: "Now in winter, the river level is slow and there are no obstacles on both sides. What kind of natural danger is it! Just send a few troops to patrol along the river and don't let someone smuggle over!"

The middle-aged man stopped saying a word, Jia Jirong said again: "The most important thing now is to go to Shenglong Mansion to ask for help. Dad, should you send another group of people?"

"No need, the emperor knows where our Jiadong is. This is the northern gate of Shenglong Mansion! Once the Jiadong is in trouble, I don't believe that the people in Shenglong Mansion can still sleep! If the order is sent, tomorrow morning, all the people in the surrounding villages will retreat into the city! Yongzhou is hundreds of miles away from here and thousands of soldiers. How long can the food they transported? We are firm in the walls and clear in the fields, and we don't believe we will not leave them if we don't believe we will be hungry!"

Listening to his father's words, Jia Jirong whispered: "Dad, Xu Ping, the opposite side, has built a sugar sugar business in recent years. It is said that he has stored a lot of grain, but I am afraid that they will not be able to be consumed for a while."

"Hmph, even if there is food, someone has to transport it! Even the sugar stewards, which is only tens of thousands of people, how many Dingfu can be drawn to transport food? One quit ten households can draw one quit, and he can draw a few thousand people. I heard that he has built roads there. What kind of roads can be built in the mountains? Could it be that he can still run a ox cart? I don't believe it anymore. With such a little Ding, he can destroy my Jia Cave? I really think that Xu Ping is a god!"

When Jia Jirong saw that his father was infuriated, he had to stop talking, but he felt a little uneasy. He had been to Pingxiangdong in person, but along the way he followed Luzhou and had never seen what the road in the opposite mountain had become. He only heard others say that it was not easy to talk back to his father.

Li Qingcheng, the Beiliang Prefecture Yamen, sat in the official hall with a gloomy face, without saying a word.

The family surrounded him, three wives, two daughters, and a somewhat stupid son, all looked at him eagerly.

A wife said in a crying voice: "Husband, you should surrender to the city, your arms can't twist your thighs."

Li Qingcheng closed his eyes and had no expression on his face.

Another grabbed the boy and said, "You only remember those two sons, a few of us, a daughter, and this child. Could it be that I am not your family? For them, can you ignore our lives or death!"

Li Qingcheng's two normal sons were in Jiadong and the other in Shenglong Mansion, and they were actually hostages. Apart from women, there was only one fool's son.

How to surrender? Can he make the Li family cut off?

Outside the city, the Song army held a torch and walked around the city, shouting in an orderly manner from time to time.

"Li Qingcheng, you are the governor of the Song Dynasty. The imperial army has arrived, and the door has not been opened to greet you!"

After a while, another shout was shouting: "Open the door! Open the door! Open the door!"

Li Qingcheng had a gloomy face and thought he was a deaf person and could not hear anything.

After a while, the shouts changed again.

"You are not a big governor of the Song Dynasty and refuse the imperial officers and soldiers outside the city. Li Qingcheng, you are going to rebel!"

"Treason to rebel and kill the entire clan!"

"Treason to rebel and kill the entire clan!"

"Treason to rebel and kill the entire clan!"

The sound went higher and higher, and he was about to overturn this small city.

The women and children in the yamen could not bear such torture, and they cried together.

In the city of the state, the local soldiers squatted on the city wall and shrank their heads. They really didn't have the courage to look at the powerful Song army outside. The torches were shining, and the officials and soldiers were bright in swords and guns, and their armor was bright, and they were all arrogant. Compared with those people, the local soldiers were like beggars.

"According to what people outside say, we are also from the Song Dynasty, aren't it true?" a local soldier whispered.

Another interface: "The magistrate is the magistrate of the Song Dynasty, so this is not wrong! We are the soldiers of Jiaozhi, and I don't know what the algorithm is about this account! Zhiniang thief, we are really in trouble today!"

"Then you say, if we open the door and go out, will the officials outside recognize us?"

"Shut up your mouth! The magistrate dares not go out to recognize him. Are we going to find bad luck!"

"That's not what it means. The magistrate usually enjoys the money given by Jiaodong, but he doesn't give us any money. He took the money from Jiaozhi people, so of course he didn't dare to go out. What are we afraid of!"

"Don't think about it all, wait till dawn. If the government troops attack the city, we will kneel on the ground and beg for mercy. At that time, we said we were from Song, and maybe we would not cause trouble for us."

"Oh, I heard that the officers and soldiers in the Song Dynasty received money per month, and they were a lot of money a year! If we donate the city, it would be nice to be a officer and soldier of the Song Dynasty. We can save money to get married!"

"Well, while it's dark, you'll dream well! The poor man who has never seen Cheng Guan's copper coins dares to think about how many Guans it takes a year. I think you're crazy about money!"

Sang Yi rode on the horse, looked at Liangzhou City not far away, and asked Han Daocheng who came to him: "What's the situation around? Are there any soldiers and horses coming from Jiadong?"

"No one saw a figure, but all the ferry on the Qiongqi River were burned out!"

Sang Yi sighed: "It seems that Jia Chenggui has no courage to cross the river to save this place. Unfortunately, we have brought so many soldiers and still want to deal with him well!"

Han Daocheng smiled and said, "The old fox Jia Chenggui is, how could he get fooled like this? But this time, we were staying by the river for a night, which would be enough for him to have a nightmare for several months."

Seeing the soldiers under the city holding torches slowly in circles and shouting from time to time, Han Daocheng said to Sang Yi: "How come the archer and the officials came up with this method? I won't shoot an arrow tonight, which scared Li Qingcheng's courage!"

Sang Yi also smiled: "It's just to scare him, it's best to scare him so hard that he can't sleep well in the future! This time I was scared not only Liangzhou, but also to show it to the surrounding prefectures and caves, holding my Song Dynasty official seal and doing things for the Jiaozhi people. What's the end? Unfortunately, the officials repeatedly said that they shouldn't destroy Liangzhou City, otherwise they wouldn't have scared Li Qingcheng. I really broke through this small city and cut off the people of the Li family one by one!"

Under the city, the soldiers did not shout, but were divided into two shifts, changing shifts every five words. After two rounds of the city, they went to the side to rest and then changed people. Anyway, there were many people coming, so everyone was not tired.

"Li Qingcheng, you want to rebel!"

"Treason to rebel and kill the entire clan!"

The sound of the sky was shaking all night, and no one could fall asleep within a few miles. (To be continued.)
