The military camp in Xi County is located in the southwest corner of the city. It is freezing cold. A thousand Jurchen soldiers went to their houses early to sleep. At one watch, just when they were sleeping soundly, a soldier stood on the guard tower next to the gate.
He was trembling all over, rubbing his hands, stamping his feet, hunching his neck and looking around.
'Whoosh!' An extremely powerful arrow was shot towards the face. The speed was so fast that the sentry couldn't dodge. The arrow hit the center of the eyebrow, and the tip of the arrow protruded from the back of the head. He didn't even have time to scream instinctively. He was killed instantly. The body fell from the height.
Fell off the sentry tower.
Tens of steps away, Chen Qing waved his hand and led a large group of cavalry to rush over. The cavalry directly broke open the wooden gate and rushed into the military camp. Within a moment, screams and shouts suddenly resounded throughout the military camp.
Chen Qing did not kill all the Jurchens, but left a few people behind, preparing to release them at dawn to report to Fengxiang County.
The people in the entire city were awakened and started talking, wondering what had happened?
The county government office lit up the lights, and the magistrate Luo Si was brought to the lobby of the county government office by soldiers. He stepped forward and bowed, "Luo Si, the magistrate of Guanyi County, see Chen Dutong!"
"Are you the county magistrate appointed by the Puppet Qi?" Chen Qing asked coldly.
"I was originally the county captain of Xi County!"
Chen Qing waved his hand, "It has nothing to do with me who you are loyal to. I am not here to cause trouble for you. My goal is Fengxiang County. I just want to ask you something!"
When Luo Zhixian heard that he would not be held accountable, he breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "As long as I know, I will never hide it!"
"Okay! Let me ask you, how many defenders are there in Fengxiang?"
"The official knows that there are about 15,000 people, including 5,000 Jurchens, and 10,000 Han Chinese auxiliary troops. In addition, there are 1,000 troops in several nearby counties, but they are all auxiliary troops, but only in Yi County
It’s the Jurchen Army.”
"Why?"
Luo Zhixian suddenly realized that he had let something slip. His face suddenly changed, and he was hesitant and speechless.
Chen Qing said coldly: "I advise you to tell the truth honestly, otherwise if I find out about it from others, your life will be in danger. Do you know what my nickname is?"
Luo Zhixian's face was extremely bitter. The other party was a murderous demon! How could he not be afraid in his heart, but he also knew that if something happened, Jin Bing would definitely kill him. He was so worried that the worst he could do was to stop the magistrate.
, take a sum of money from the warehouse and run away.
"Okay! I told Chen Dutong that the Jurchen generals came with their families this time, but they couldn't accommodate them in Fengxiang County, so they divided some of them to live in Yi County. The most important one is Wanyanhelisha's
family."
Chen Qing was overjoyed, "Where are Wanyan's family members?"
"It's in the big house next door. It's the best house in Xi County. His wife and daughter live in it, as well as dozens of soldiers."
Chen Qing turned around and winked at Yang Zaixing, who immediately strode away.
Chen Qing then asked: "How much grain and grass is there in the county warehouse?"
"There is a lot of food and grass, including tens of thousands of stones of grain and tens of thousands of dans of fodder, as well as 20,000 guan of money. They are all taxes collected by Fengxiang Mansion and are stored in Yi County."
Chen Qing smiled slightly and said: "Magistrate of Luo County, let's make a deal. How many families do Jin Bing's family live in the county and where do they live? You must know it well. Anyway, you won't survive after Jin Bing kills him. It's not as good as you."
Tell me everything, and then I'll allow you to take a thousand guan from the warehouse and run away, how about it?"
Luo Zhixian pondered for a moment and nodded, "We have an agreement!"
At this time, a fierce battle broke out in the mansion next door. Yang Zaixing led 300 soldiers to kill dozens of Wanyan Helisa's soldiers and captured all Wanyan Helisa's wives, concubines, and children.
At this time, Jiang Yan hurried over and said to Chen Qing: "Du Tong, many of them are concubines of the Bianliang Palace, and one of them seems to be the emperor's concubine!"
Chen Qing was startled. This was something he had not expected. He quickly rushed to the mansion with his soldiers. The outside was crowded with soldiers who came to watch the excitement. Chen Qing ordered the soldiers: "Everyone, go back. If you can't sleep, go and defend the city."
, don’t make any noise here!”
The military orders were overwhelming, but the soldiers did not dare to disobey them and went back one after another. Chen Qing walked into the mansion, and Yang Zaixing came up to him and said, "I separated them all. Wanyan drank and Lisa's wife and several children were locked up in the inner courtyard.
, guarded by soldiers, his concubines are concentrated in the east courtyard, there are more than 20 of them, all the concubines and maids of the Song Dynasty Palace."
"Why are there more than twenty people?" Gu
Yang Zaixing sneered, "He's quite young!"
"Is there a Di Ji?"
Yang Zaixing nodded, "The late emperor's sixteenth daughter, Emperor Xiande, is called Zhao Qiaoyun."
Chen Qing thought for a while and said: "Luozhi County will provide a detailed list of addresses soon. You lead the army to arrest them according to the list. Don't hurt them!"
"Is it useful to keep them all?"
Chen Qing nodded, "This is an opportunity. It should be possible to bring back many of the abducted palace women!"
"I understand the humble position!"
Yang Zaixing led the army in a hurry, leaving the mansion to be guarded by Wang Hao, the commander of the inner guard camp, while Chen Qing prepared to turn the mansion into a temporary detention place.
Chen Qing came to the east courtyard and saw more than twenty young women sitting in a room in the east courtyard, all of them looking frightened. At this time, Chen Qing walked in and said to them: "You don't have to be afraid, I am the commander-in-chief of the Song Army."
Chen Qing, I will send you back to the Song Dynasty!"
After saying these words, there was silence in the room, and then more than twenty people covered their mouths and burst into tears. Some people even lay on the ground crying until they died. Six years of pain and humiliation burst out at this moment.
Chen Qing felt sad for a while and retreated to let them vent their emotions.
This was an unexpected situation. He could not abandon them and send them into the tiger's mouth again. He had to find a way to resettle them, but this was not the rear area, this was the hinterland of Guanzhong occupied by the Jin soldiers.
How to arrange them? Chen Qing's head was as big as a bucket and he couldn't think of a good way.
At this time, a young woman in her twenties walked out of the room. She had a very delicate appearance and her eyes were red from crying. She gave Chen Qing a blessing gift and said, "I am Zhao Qiaoyun, thank you Chen Dutong for saving us from the sea of fire."
!”
Chen Qing cupped his fists and saluted her, "Are you Emperor Xian De?"
Zhao Qiaoyun shook his head and said in a choked voice: "I am no longer an imperial concubine, I am just an ordinary common girl of the Song Dynasty. You can just call me Miss Zhao."
Chen Qing nodded, "Don't worry! I will protect your safety no matter what. Please advise them not to be too sad and to take care of themselves."
"I know, I will persuade them, but does the general have a way to send us back?"
Zhao Qiaoyun knew very well that there were Jin soldiers and puppet Qi soldiers on all sides, and they had no way out.
Chen Qing thought about it and said with a smile: "I was named the envoy of Qinzhou. I was stationed in Qinzhou before. I will send troops to send you to Qinzhou first. There are no Jin soldiers there. You can live there for a while.
Then we will find a way to send you back to Bashu!"
Although Chen Qing is stationed in Baling County, he has been paying attention to the situation in Qinzhou. He also left some men lurking in Qinzhou, and he will have to kill them back sooner or later.
Currently, there are only 1,300 puppet Qi troops stationed in Qinzhou, of which 1,000 are stationed in Chengji County and the other 300 are stationed in Ganquan Fort. Although he values Qinzhou very much, Wanyan Wushu does not.
Yan Wushu only cared about how to attack Bashu, so this gave him the opportunity to fight back to Qinzhou.
Zhao Qiaoyun bowed deeply again, "I leave everything to the general!"
It was getting daylight, and the overnight manhunt was over. A total of 123 Jurchen generals' family members were arrested, accounting for about 30% of the total family members, including two captains of ten thousand and a dozen wives and children of captains of thousands.
The rest are the centurion's family members, totaling more than 670 people.
Among these family members, almost half were Han women who needed to be rescued. Some were palace maids, and the other were plundered Bianliang folk women.
What makes Chen Qing feel lucky is that he has not released several Jurchen prisoners of war to report the news, otherwise Fengxiang's army will be dispatched, and he will not be able to send his family members to Qinzhou. He must get them safe before the enemy discovers them.
Send away.
That night, Chen Qing ordered Niu Gao and Hu Yanyun to lead two thousand cavalry, carry a thousand camels loaded with grain and grass, and a hundred mule carts to secretly send more than 670 Jurchen generals and their families to Qinzhou. At this time, Guanzhong was covered with ice and snow.
, the female main force is still in Hanzhong, the people and the garrison in all counties in Guanzhong are celebrating the New Year, and Guanzhong's defense is at its weakest moment.
