In mid-August, the Tianjiao invaded Zhili and stationed troops in Baoding Prefecture; the so-called "King of Qin's Teacher" followed closely behind and took in Zhending Prefecture, which Tianjiao spent a lot of effort to conquer.
Baoding is less than half a day away from the capital.
Zhending is located in the southeast of Baoding, a little farther from the capital, but also less than half a day away from Baoding.
When Yan Lin and others led the army to the real time, the Tianjiao Rebels stationed in the city could not resist the attack at all. It was because the army was exhausted that they fought the imperial court. Before they could catch their breath, they faced the Xinzhou army and the Huangzhou army. , where can there be any resistance
Kaesong surrendered within two hours.
When you enter the city, all you can see around you are war and chaos.
Wan Xiuzi is also not a good character. He knows that if he stops and defends every city he has conquered, he will inevitably face a situation where there will be wolves and tigers in front of him.
So in the past two months, I have come up with some ways to "weak" Xie Wei.
For example, when they entered the city, they burned, killed, looted, and looted the wealth of the wealthy, squires, bureaucrats, and wealthy households. They took away those they could take away, and burned those who couldn’t take it away. Even if there are still young men in the city, they will either be forcibly captured and incorporated into their own rebel army as a sacrifice for the next siege, or they will be killed on the spot to prevent them from joining the Xinzhou army camp.
Therefore, where the Heavenly Religion Army has passed, there are ten cities and nine empty spaces.
In the early stage, it was ordered by Wan Xiuzi to loot and clean up. In the later stage, the people fled early before the battle to avoid danger. They would not return to the city until General Yan Lin's division of King Qin arrived.
Contrasting the two -
Wan Xiuzi is a devil, Xie Juan is a sage;
The uprising army is the gangster, and the Xinzhou army is the king's division.
But who can know that the so-called "Master Wang" and the so-called "sages" are behind all this
Yan Lin led the battle, Xie Wei planned the overall situation, and Lu Xian coordinated the food and forage. Of course, Jiang Xuening is also a part of this. After all, since taking over the south from the Tianjiao, the business in the area of Shuzhong and Jiangnan has naturally been brought back. Even if Zhou Yinzhi stole the token, it would only be robbing the ten coins stored in the bank. Tens of thousands of taels of silver.
Money is dead, and those who can make money are rare.
She was not idle, she followed the army all the way, and took Wei Liang, who did not attend the imperial examination, with her. Every time you go to a city, you must first ask about people's livelihood, and arrange farming and mulberry according to local conditions, which has played a great role in appeasing the people.
It's just...
Jian Shu squeezed the letter from the capital in his hand, and walked forward, remembering that the stupid Wei Liang Wei had come, and he couldn't help but slightly pouted. It's not that he has any opinion on Young Master Wei. In fact, this Young Master, who is only interested in farming, does a lot of things, but he doesn't have the slightest bit of pretence, and he is quite popular.
Can be bad and bad here.
Who let him be the man under the second girl Ning
He looks like he will always follow Ning Er girl, and he can talk easily. His husband once watched the two people squatting in the field for an afternoon with sweet potatoes in their hands, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
It's just that this person doesn't understand human speech.
One time when Ning Er was not there, the husband happened to meet him, asked him to sit down for tea, and beat him for a few words. Wei Liang was stunned that he didn't understand, and he didn't understand the world at all, and he asked back in confusion: "Can't the girl from the host go together? But she manages the money, everyone likes her, she has to nod her head in everything, and always go to see it. You'll know just by looking. Where can you do things and plant the land across the ledger?"
That might be the worst day for my husband.
Even Ning Er girl was unlucky the next day. When she was learning the piano, she lost her mind. She even mentioned Wei Liang casually. When the husband picked up the ruler, he beat the hand, crying and screaming. Why is the sun so hot.
Jian Shu pondered his husband's sullen and jealous posture, and felt that the hair behind his neck was cold, but he didn't dare to talk too much.
Fortunately, Mr.
Jealousy also eat for a while.
After all, Ning Er girl and that son Wei Liang were innocent before, and they didn't really have anything.
At this time, in the yamen of the prefect of Zhending Mansion, people from Xinzhou Army had already been replaced, and when looking up, soldiers in armor were walking around in the courtyard.
The original prefect was beheaded by Wan Xiuzi when the Heavenly Sect entered the city a while ago, and most of the rest of the bureaucrats were also killed, and the rest who didn't die ran away early.
So the yamen was empty.
It happened to be moved to Xie Weiyanlin and others.
Ning Er's courtyard is of course the best courtyard in this mansion.
When autumn comes, the maple leaves are gradually dyed.
The sound of the violin like flowing spring water floated from the corridor, and I was already feeling the way, and I gradually felt a sense of ease.
Jian Shu was listening outside, and couldn't help but smile, but when he lowered his head and saw the envelope in his hand, his face slowly turned cold.
He entered the courtyard.
The sash of the courtyard was open, Jiang Xuening sat at the piano table, fiddling with the strings, Xie Wei stood beside her, watching and listening silently.
After the song was over, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then she raised her eyebrows and turned around and said, "How is it? Can I play it all correctly this time? Then I will rest for the next half an hour."
Xie Wei twitched the corners of his mouth.
His cold eyes swept across her expectant eyes, although he knew in his heart that she was betting with him, and that if she played this song correctly, she knew that she would be able to rest for the next half an hour. Talk about conditions and want to be lazy.
It's just that it's a long time coming.
If you can't learn for one day, then continue to learn for another day. Ning Er, a little fool, doesn't understand at all.
He didn't embarrass her, and said with a smile: "Then let's practice here today."
Since the last time he went back to Tianjiao, Ning Er did what he said, but he really followed him to learn the piano. In the past few months, if there was no war on that day, he did not go to discuss and plan, and she was not busy with business, so she stayed in the room, one taught the piano, and the other learned the piano.
It's just that Ning Er's mouth is a liar.
She is not naturally quiet, she is tired when she stays in the house, and she is alive and kicking when she goes out. He said he wanted to learn the violin, so he could play it later. Learning is really learning, and growing is also really growing, but I can't sit still very much. After half an hour there, my whole body is uncomfortable, and I have to jump from side to side to avoid laziness.
Xie Wei has always been a strict teacher. If it were changed to Fengchen Hall when he was studying piano, he would have picked her up with a ruler.
But now...
She didn't practice the piano; he was angry; she practiced hard, and he was distressed.
He clearly ordered Jianshu to prepare two rulers, but until now both of them are still brand new, not to mention broken, there are not even a few scratches on the top!
Jiang Xuening didn't know what Xie Wei thought, but felt that this person was getting better and better at speaking.
It's not that she doesn't want to practice the piano during this time.
After all, when she made a promise to Xie Ju'an, she was serious; just seeing the development of the war, and when it was about to hit the capital, those things from the old years came to mind one by one clearly. This kind of absent-minded practice is only half the effort, so it's better to wait until the mind is pure and then practice again, so I play tricks with him.
Sitting for a long time makes my neck sore.
She breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help turning her head.
Xie Wei stood behind her, smiled when he saw this, stretched out his hand and put it on the back of her neck, his slender fingers exerted force, and pinched it for her little by little: "Just the way you have been fishing for three days and drying nets for two days. , I'm afraid that even if I learn seven or eighty, I may not be able to get seven or eight points from me, I will be tired at this hour..."
Jiang Xuening rolled his eyes.
But when I turned around, I saw Jianshu outside the door at a glance, and at the same time I saw his face, the relaxed smile on his face slowly faded, and he only asked: "The news has arrived?"
Jianshu entered and presented the letter.
He bowed and said: "With the help of Dingfei Gongzi, Daoqin has brought people out of the city safely, and tonight we will arrive at Zhending."
Jiang Xuening took the letter, opened it, and sat for a long time with a blank face before raising his eyes to look at the red leaves outside the window, and said to Xie Wei, "In the blink of an eye, it's the season for autumn to kill hundreds of flowers again..."
Zhou Yinzhi rarely wanted to ride a horse or take a sedan chair. He just walked with his hands behind his back on the way back to his residence.
The scenes of the court discussion just now flashed through my mind again.
It was clear that he had just been granted the position of Admiral of the Nine Sects today, but he and Ding Guo Gong Xiao Yuan each led troops to guard the capital. It could be said that he was only one step away from being a very noble official, but he was not happy at all.
He had never imagined that the imperial court would be in such a situation now.
Since returning from Xinzhou, Xiao Shu's face has been bright, and Shen Lang has also greatly admired him. He thought that although he had done a heavy hand on You Fangyin, he had offended Jiang Xuening, but this one was not a loss.
But who would have thought that, before two days of happiness, the Heavenly Religion would be reversed.
Then came the chaos now.
He had been to Xinzhou and understood the whole story of the attack on the Tartars. Naturally, he would not be like the innocent nobles in the capital. He thought that Xie Yan and the two were really the teachers of the Diligent King, and they were kind.
But no one dared to tell the truth.
As the Heavenly Sect got closer and closer, the dangers facing the capital became heavier and heavier. Not to mention the notorious reputation of Heavenly Sect, many noble families in the city could not sit still, and some people secretly planned to run away first. To avoid the limelight, some people are even thinking of surrendering to the enemy.
How could Shen Lang ignore it
Jin Yiwei has secretly arrested a lot of people who wanted to escape recently, and put them all in prison, and even more directly assassinated them.
Now, without mentioning Xie Yan's "Divine King's Teacher", they can still stabilize the situation in the capital; if this matter is told clearly to everyone, the capital will simply be self-defeating.
After all, who can believe—
Can this lonely city resist the joint attack of the Tianjiao Rebel Army and Xie Yan
From Zhou Yinzhi's point of view, today's imperial court is like an egg hanging in the hair, at any time it may fall and be smashed to pieces by a gust of wind!
Tongzhou stationed soldiers and guarded the imperial city.
Together, there are only a few people in the total. Can this battle really hold up
Thinking back to the emperor today, Zhang Zhe, who was left alone to speak, seemed to have something to explain, but he didn't ask the ministers to listen, which was really unusual.
He gradually felt irritable and raised his head to the door of the mansion.
The newly built mansion originally occupies a very wide area and is decorated with carved beams and paintings. After marrying Chen Shuyi and entering the door, hundreds of servants have been added, coral jade trees, gold, silver and pearl greens, which are very luxurious.
It's just that he wasn't in the mood to take another look at this moment.
Stopping for a moment in the courtyard, Zhou Yinzhi thought about Chen Shuyi's posture, and felt disgusted in his heart.
In the past, there were maids waiting outside.
But today, for some reason, there was no one outside, and there was no sound inside.
At this moment, Zhou Yinzhi was a little strange.
But didn't care too much.
However, just as he was about to cross the door, he saw a pot of golden dragon claw chrysanthemum fall to the ground next to him.
Walking quickly through the door, all the maids gagged, tied up, and threw them under the wall!
Zhou Yinzhi's eyelids jumped, and he immediately rushed in while holding the knife at his waist.
There was a bit of fear in his voice: "Yao Niang—"
The house is empty.
On the ground lay a baby's clothes that had not yet been embroidered.
A letter lay quietly on the desk.
As night fell, lanterns were hung in the corridor.
The candles in the house were shaken a little by the wind blowing in.
Jiang Xuening's beautiful face also flickered.
Daoqin, who had been in the capital for several months, finally came back, and brought back a woman, a pregnant woman.
A handsome face and shy eyebrows.
Compared with the first time Jiang Xuening saw her a few years ago, her skin was much whiter, and the cloth on her body was changed to silk and satin, but her facial features were soft and gentle. A little scared, he unconsciously stretched out his hand to protect his abdomen.
There is a bulge there.
Yaoniang has been more than six months pregnant.
In the last life, Jiang Xuening had never seen her; in this life, it was just a relationship between two sides.
If it weren't for Zhou Yinzhi, maybe she wouldn't even remember her name.
Jiang Xuening gave an inexplicable laugh, raised his hand and lightly grabbed a tuft of her drooping hair, thinking about how useful this woman could be, and said slowly, "Don't be nervous, it's not you who I want to kill."
It's good that she didn't say this. When she said it, Yaoniang's face turned pale almost instantly.
She naturally remembered Jiang Xuening.
She knew exactly how her lord made her fortune back then; then she went to Xinzhou, and she was restless for the first two days and couldn't sleep in the second half of the night; now, this girl is back...
