Chapter 77 Missing
Wang Bing returned to the Privy Council and first asked Hu Yangeng to discuss. Hu Yangeng looked at him and Wang Bing, so he said carelessly: "The people are the most important, and the country is the next, and the king is the least. What does it matter if the emperor is captured? We protect the country and the people."
Wang Bing pondered.
"Jingshou, do you still remember Taiyuan?" After the Taiyuan City was broken, the Jin soldiers massacred the city.
"Jings, I still remember Pingyang." Pingyang's guard Liu Rui fled and surrendered without fighting. After the Jin soldiers entered the city, they plundered in large numbers. Later, the Song army recovered Pingyang, and Pingyang had become an empty city. The residents were either killed or captured as slaves.
"Jingshou, do you know Zhending?" After the fall of Zhending City, the Jin soldiers still plundered and killed, and no one in ten residents remained. Those who survived by chance could only cut off the carrion from the corpse for a living.
"Jie Zheng, if the Bianliang fights, the people will still have a glimmer of life. If they surrender, we will all be the food of the hunters. Millions of creatures in Bianliang are all in the thought of Jie Zheng."
Of course, Wang Bing knew what would end up with Bianliang if he surrendered to the Jin soldiers. However, he was a military minister born in the Song Dynasty and raised in the Song Dynasty. He knew since childhood that "he only knew loyalty and righteousness." He regarded the emperor as a god. Unlike Hu Yangeng, he came from modern times and regarded the emperor as a symbol. If this symbol is lost, another one will be created.
Hu Yangeng mentioned the fate of Taiyuan, Zhending and several cities to Wang Bing, so Wang Bing made up his mind and never surrendered. With this backbone, it was easier to make a decision.
He first gave Hu Yanzhuo a command arrow, ordering Hu Yanzhuo to take down the west city wall in the short term, and he could find a way to move the counterweight catapult, rush the car, and goose carts to use it. Even if the west city wall is broken, it will still be taken back. Now that the emperor has been captured, he must beat the Jin soldiers as much as possible before the Jin envoy arrives.
Then he gave Hu Yangeng an arrow, asking him to organize his troops to go out of the city to search for Empress Zhu and the Crown Prince.
Hu Yangeng came to Yujinyuan camp, mobilized 500 cavalry, divided it into 200 horse-study teams, and searched for different paths to the east and south. But Hu Yangeng himself did not go out immediately. He asked Xu Ning carefully that the queen and the prince were not in the guards of the Palace Front Office, so it was very likely that they were not intercepted by the Jin soldiers. This was not luck, but a conspiracy.
After Wang Zongqian led the Palace Front Office to join the other three convoys, all the ministers who disguised themselves gathered to pay homage to Zhao Huan. Wang Shiyong, who really commanded the first convoy, told everyone that shortly after the Queen's convoy left the city, she was mixed with a large group of refugees and the team was squeezed apart. In order to cover up, the Queen's car did not have any special signs on her car, so Wang Xiaodi had no way to find it.
Zhao Huan had no idea what reaction he had, but it didn't matter anymore.
Hu Yangeng heard Xuanzan mention that Wang Zongqiu really wanted to help his sister Concubine Wang to properly support him and get the throne of the queen. This time, it is very likely that he would intentionally make it happen, so that the queen and the prince would be lost among the refugees. If he really thought so, he would not just let the refugees scatter the convoy, and he would definitely have a backup plan.
Now that I go out to find people, Hu Yangeng will not have a higher chance of finding people than an ordinary cavalry team. He needs some clues.
Hu Yangeng knew nothing about the dark side of the palace. He now regretted not reading the novels of female fans before traveling through time. He was going to visit Tong Mu.
Hu Yangeng rode his horse to Licheng of Bianliang. Bianliang was much more depressed than when he just led the River Defense Army back. After opening the city, a large number of people did go out of the city to go south. Objectively speaking, these people went out of the city to relieve the pressure on the supply of food in Bianliang. Bianliang has been besieged for more than three months. Although the people often complained about the high price of rice, Hu Yangeng had never heard of the news of peace with the Jin thieves in the market.
The people of Bianliang were taught a lesson. When the Jin soldiers first advanced south, Wanyan Wushu killed more than 100,000 people who fled to Kaifeng in the northeast of the city.
The court wanted to make peace, and Wang Xiaodi, the Minister of the Secretariat, was appointed as the special leader for the reward of the Jin Kingdom. He was in business and worked very hard. He wrote a documentary on the city gates and Tongya Streets overnight. He was limited to the scholars and commoners within three days and handed over all their property to the public and sent it to the Jin people for a discount.
Violators must copy the book, and the document list clearly states, "This will prevent our people from being confused," otherwise, "there will be no more men, the women will be captured, the palace will be burned, and the gold and silver will be taken."
The people of Bianliang called Wang Xiaodi the "Second Secretariat", saying that the Jin people should "kill all the enemies and burn them to take them all". In short, they should give all the family wealth to the Jin people so that they would not be confused. Wang Xiaodi created these public opinions and replaced the Jin people to "Second Secretariat" at the people's homes.
At that time, under the guise of "protecting the people", Wang Zongyi, Wang Xiaodi, Wang Shiyong and others took the lead in chasing civilian houses. Later, the scope of chasing was expanded to outside the designated list, and thousands of households were chasing.
All the public in Kaifeng Prefecture can enter the private homes at will, conduct blackmail, search, or even robbery under the excuse of searching, and the public has become disguised robbers.
Of course, he was unlucky to be the object of the God of Wealth and was confiscated. As for those who were implicated due to personal grievances, they suffered even more miserable deaths and bloody incidents occurred everywhere. That night, more than twenty or thirty people were killed on the spot, forced to death, raped to death, and scared to death by the elderly and children.
The famous singer Zhao Yuannu, Cui Nianyue and others were all insulted. The house was confiscated inadequate, not to mention that most of the property collected was divided by friends and friends. Only one-third of the ones actually appeared in the official account book, and the total amount was only tens of thousands of taels of silver. However, the people of Bianliang suffered a lot.
The Four-Director of the Secretariat, who replaced the Jin people, was so difficult to bear. So if you talk about the Later Jin people who came to plunder themselves, wouldn’t you be left with the bones?
The people of Bianliang were very sober and refused to allow the emperor to make peace with the Jin thieves. Two days after this plundering, the famous Xuande Gate Knot occurred. 200,000 Kaifeng people gathered in front of Xuande Gate and demanded that Li Gang be restored to the war of resistance against Jin. That is, two days after the Xuande Gate Knot, the Jin soldiers lifted the siege of Bianliang and took 200,000 taels of gold and 4 million taels of silver to retreat north.
In another time and space, after the Jin soldiers besieged Bianliang for the second time and finally captured the four walls, they began to force (or collude with more appropriate collusion) to force the officials of the Song Dynasty to "give up" Bianliang to scrape all the wealth of Bianliang. After the Jin soldiers withdrew, the Bianliang household registration was "sixteen of the ten thousand, and every house was washed away and there was nothing." The residents "fruit the belly with moss in the corners of the wall, and cut the hungry people for the sake of food." That is, eating moss and corpses make a living.
Therefore, the people of Bianliang had hatred, contempt and fear towards the Jin thieves, but they did not say anything about surrender.
On the road, passers-by often saw Hu Yangeng wearing military uniform and exclaimed, "Yes." This is not the kind of formal and generous compliment, but a word used by the people of Bianliang who are affectionately loved by others.
Hu Yangeng arrived at the palace and saw Tong Mu. Tong Mu said, "The King's Palace Supervisor, the Concubine Wang's thoughts. There have been rumors in the palace. When the Queen left the palace yesterday, Eunuch Huang took the initiative to ask for his order and follow the guard."
"Eunuch Huang?"
"The old supervisor of the Supreme Emperor Huang Jingchen."
Hu Yangeng seemed to have some impression, as if he was Zhao Ji's confidant, and often gave care to Li Shishi on behalf of Zhao Ji. So he asked, "Eunuch Huang is the saint's guard?"
"Yes. Eunuch Huang has been in the palace for thirty years. He has been defeated by powerful officials like Zhang Di and Liang Shicheng. Even the mother-in-law has to respect him three points. How can Wang Dianshuai hide his little thoughts from him?"
Hu Yangeng looked at Tong Mu's expression and a big stone fell in his heart: "I would like to ask Eunuch Tong for advice."
"I dare not, Eunuch Huang's hometown is near Xuzhou. He once said that since the current situation is turbulent and Wang Dianshuai has no intention, it is better to take the Duke away from the vortex temporarily. As long as Queen Zhu is in his position, the position of the prince will be as safe as Mount Tai."
"Xuzhou?"
"Xuzhou."
"Thank you, Eunuch Tong, for your advice."
"You're welcome."
Hu Yangeng turned around and left, suddenly turned around and asked, "Eunuch Tong, why are you leaving without a escort?"
"In terms of military affairs, which is better, Wang Jieshuai or Wang Dianshuai?" Tong Mu's words were very obvious. Because Wang Bing could fight more than Wang Zongyi, he could protect his safety, so he stayed.
Hu Yangeng thought to himself, "This inner supervisor is interesting." While rushing back to Yujinyuan camp, he ordered a cavalry and set off in a hurry.
He walked directly to the southeast road, scattered his men, contacted the siege sent out in the early stage, and informed each other of the news. At night, he was basically sure that there were a large number of refugees, all heading towards Xuzhou. They should follow the canal south. Huang Jingchen and Empress Zhu were probably on the same road with them.
Because of the continuous sending people out to inform the news, and when encountering some difficult intersections, Hu Yangeng now only has fifty cavalry around him.
He sent another messenger back to the city and asked Zhang Heng to ride a horse along the canal to meet him. The reason he was called Zhang Heng was because the canal was still frozen now, but when he went a little south, he might be able to take a boat.
Hu Yangeng and his team rushed to the south with their horses. The next day, they had already passed Chenliu, who had been occupied by the Jin soldiers. Chenliu was right beside the canal, and everyone rushed forward along the canal. The horse probing in the front suddenly replied: "There is a cavalry team of Jin thieves in front."
"Have you come to us? Have you discovered you two? How many golden thieves are there?"
"No, the golden thief is waiting for me. It's about a Mouke."
Hu Yangeng thought: If you can reach the south so far, most of the Jin soldiers were grain-raising teams. If you follow them, you can find the people in the brigade ahead. So he sent two explorers to hold the pair of Jin soldiers from afar, and then he led more than 40 cavalrymen to follow the explorers far away.
In the afternoon, the two explorers turned back: "Master, there are indeed thousands of people in front of them resting by the canal. The Jin thieves are preparing horses, and it seems they are preparing to raid."
On the river bank, thousands of refugees were resting. Most of these refugees escaped from Bianliang and wanted to go to the south to join their relatives. It was not because of the famine and there was no leader, but everyone was walking in the same direction.
An old man came to the front of a large cart and asked, "Have the mistress and the little master used the meal?"
