The Luzhou administrative seat was originally located in Luchuan County, which is located at the intersection of the Tuojiang River and the Yangtze River. After the Mongolian army entered Shu, the administrative seat was moved to Rongshan, Anleshan, Sanjiang Qi, and finally the city was built at Shenju Cliff in Hejiang County.
Divine Arm City is located downstream and cannot control the entrance of Tuojiang River.
At the end of February, the Mongolian and Song armies fought at the mouth of the river. Song general Zhang Shi was captured, and the Song army was defeated. The pacifying envoy Zhu Xusun led his army to flee to the Divine Arm City.
Niulin immediately captured Luchuan County and occupied the Yangtze River. His army was in great power, and his banners and baggage could not be stopped for hundreds of miles.
At this point, the Mongolian army was almost ready to sail eastward and attack Chongqing Prefecture.
But Niulin was not in a hurry. His strategic purpose was to prepare to attack Chongqing together with the Fujiang, Jialing, Qujiang and other armies. Now his route is progressing smoothly, much better than the other routes.
He was not as arrogant as Wu Liang Hetai, and he learned his lesson and thought that Xuzhou and Luzhou Divine Arm City should be captured first...
At the worst, all the Song army's ships should be destroyed.
On the second day of March, Niulin personally led the cavalry along the river bank towards Xuzhou, and Wanyan Shizhu led the navy up the river, approaching Xuzhou.
"The Mongolian army is coming!"
The shrill shouts pierced the night in Xuzhou City.
Li Zhaocheng was walking along the long street with Han Qi'an when he suddenly heard shouts of murder coming from the yard over there.
"Help!"
He looked back and saw a middle-aged man in rich clothes, covered in blood, running out supported by a group of servants. There was a knife stuck in his back and he was screaming in pain.
Afterwards, more than twenty men in black were seen chasing them out of the big house, shouting in Mongolian, and slashing them with knives.
"ah!"
The pedestrians on the long street were so frightened that they turned around and ran away, causing chaos in the city.
Only Han Qi'an stopped and watched calmly. When the group of men in black entered the mansion again, he said: "Don't worry, the city gate has not been lost and the Mongolian army has not entered the city."
Li Zhaocheng stared at the pool of blood and corpses on the ground, shook his head, and murmured: "It's too bloody... too..."
"Do you think it's bloody?" Han Qi'an said: "Do you know how many people died when Bianjing was captured? How many people died when Chengdu was destroyed?"
He sighed, slowed down his speech, and said: "I have calculated that I will only kill more than 600 people tonight, and they are all those who are rich and unkind in the city and those who help the tyrants and oppressors..."
"How can Mr. Han be so sure?" Li Zhaocheng asked in a trembling voice: "Whether you are rich or not, whether you are kind or not, all depends on Mr. Han's thoughts. These people... their life and death are all controlled by Mr. Han?"
"These are troubled times." Han Qi'an said, "I don't want to argue with you. I just tell you what we will do... Following Alang's order, Gao Nienfeng has led two hundred people to sneak into the city. Tonight they will sneak into the city.
There was a killing spree in the city. The list was drawn up by Yan Yunyun and I ourselves.
Wei Wenbo flattered Ding Daquan and knew Xuzhou, so he may not have had the intention to monitor Alang. This man expropriated taxes and extorted money, and he had already embezzled more than 200,000 guan in just one year after taking office. It is only said that before the New Year, he first embezzled 7,000 guan from the money for lanterns, and also used the excuse of canceling the lantern festival.
Ming sent people to extort shops in the city.
Together with dozens of party members, he exchanged sand and soil for the Xuzhou granary and sold official grain privately; he squandered the pensions for the injured soldiers in the battle of Mahujiang; he dismissed the Xuzhou garrison and ate their pay; and he commandeered fishermen's boats in the name of fighting.
, selling goods... These are what you and Jiang Fan found after entering the city, I am not lying to you."
Having said this, Han Qi'an shook his head and said: "Although Alang has cooperated with Ding Daquan, we will never allow Ding's party to harm the country and the people. When the time comes, we will break up with them."
While talking, the two of them had walked dozens of steps. Li Zhaocheng turned his head, pointed to the house just now, and asked, "What did this family do?"
"In addition to Yuan Huang, he runs a brothel. Most of the little girls stolen from various villages in Xulu are sold to him."
"But he also has..."
Han Qi'an waved his hand and said: "As long as there is no resistance, the 'Mongolian army' will take people away as prisoners. At dawn, Jiang Chun will lead the Xuzhou army to rescue all these prisoners. What we want is Xuzhou City."
Money, food and industry.”
Li Zhaocheng asked again: "What about Ma Yuanwai in the north of the city? What kind of evil things have he done?"
Han Qi'an glanced at him and said calmly: "I trust Yan Yunyun. There is a reason for the list she drew up."
"Really?" Li Zhaocheng still felt panicked, and asked again: "When the Mongolian army is attacking the city, is it really good to do this...?"
"It was precisely because the Mongolian army attacked the city that we had the opportunity to do this."
Han Qi'an patted his shoulder and said, "This is your first time experiencing something like this. It is inevitable that you will feel a little uncomfortable. Have a good rest tonight and go see Jiang Chun tomorrow..."
Li Zhaocheng didn't say anything more and followed Han Qi'an back to his residence, where he saw Yan Yunyun sitting by the candlelight taking care of accounts.
Several men with blood on their sleeves were standing beside her, whispering something.
As he got closer, Li Zhaocheng gradually heard Yan Yunyun's voice.
"I don't care about this. The direct male must be killed..."
Her voice was full of coldness, which was different from her laughter during the New Year.
After hearing this, Li Zhaocheng felt a little conflicted with Yan Yunyun. He nodded to Han Qi'an and went back to his room to lie down.
The blood I saw tonight and the chaotic scene in the city are still in my mind.
He finally realized that Li Xia was different from before...
Tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, Li Zhaocheng did not know how long it had passed before he suddenly heard the door open and someone walked in.
"I'm afraid Li Langjun can't sleep, right?"
It was Yan Yunyun. She sat down by the couch, stretched her body, rubbed her neck, and sighed: "I'm so tired."
Li Zhaocheng raised his eyes and could vaguely see her figure, outlining her plump curves.
He turned sideways, obviously not used to Yan Yunyun being so close.
"Isn't Shopkeeper Yan a salt merchant? Why do you still do this?"
"I will do whatever Alang needs." Yan Yunyun said with a smile, "As long as I can do it."
Li Zhaocheng asked: "Of the many people who died in the city tonight, are you sure there are no innocent people?"
"Of course we can't be sure, but if we can't come up with money and food to train Alang's troops, how many people will die when the Mongolian army breaks the city?"
"You can't say that..."
Yan Yunyun suddenly stepped down, stared into Li Zhaocheng's eyes in the night, and said: "I know what Li Langjun is thinking, your attitude towards me has changed. You blame me more than you blame my brother... because I am
Woman, you can’t see a woman being harsh, right?”
She was too close, and Li Zhaocheng felt extremely uncomfortable. He turned his head and said nothing.
"I used to be a prostitute. Many people in Xuzhou City bullied me. I took this opportunity to take revenge and go back... That's what you think, right?" Yan Yunyun asked.
"Have it?"
"have."
Li Zhaocheng hid and said: "Sure enough... I asked, many people in the city said that Ma Yuanwai is a kind person, and you avenge your personal revenge."
"You want to complain to A Lang?"
Li Zhaocheng said "hmm".
"Okay." Yan Yunyun smiled and said: "Then I will tell you more so that you can tell me carefully. That person outside Ma Yuan, Bu Ji, calls me over every time... Do you know the wooden donkey?
"
"Wooden donkey?"
After a while, Li Zhaocheng saw that Yan Yunyun didn't say anything more, turned his head and looked into her eyes.
He was stunned for a moment, and the anger in his heart subsided.
"Miss Yan, you..."
"That's all, if you want to complain, just complain. No one can question my brother and I's loyalty to Alang."
"It's just that you didn't avenge your personal revenge." Li Zhaocheng said, "Try to involve as few innocent people as possible..."
Yan Yunyun suddenly interrupted him and asked with a smile: "You have never touched a woman?"
Li Zhaocheng was ashamed and quickly turned away, shrinking back and saying: "You can go. I have figured it out and I will do my best."
Yan Yunyun was already close to him, pressing her plump body against him...
"Sure enough, she is still a baby." She smiled, leaned into Li Zhaocheng's ear, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Don't be like this...Miss Yan...don't..."
…
As the sky grew brighter, Li Zhaocheng opened his eyes and glanced around the room blankly.
If it weren't for the lingering fragrance in his nose, he suddenly thought it was a dream.
Pushing the door open and walking to the hall, he finally saw Yan Yunyun.
She was still sitting there, with stacks of deeds and lists in front of her, and her hands moving the abacus without turning her head.
"Yan... Shopkeeper Yan."
"Are you up? Brother wants you to go to Judge Jiang Tong's house."
Hearing this faint tone, Li Zhaocheng was stunned for a moment, a little disappointed, and whispered: "How about we talk alone?"
Yan Yunyun raised his head and said, "Okay."
The blood-stained men in black were no longer in the yard, only men in short-sleeved shirts came and went occasionally.
Li Zhaocheng sighed and said: "I lied to others and said that I have been engaged since childhood, but in fact there is no such thing. I can marry..."
"Just pretend that nothing happened." Yan Yunyun said.
Li Zhaocheng was stunned, with a blush on his face, and asked in a low voice: "Are you... dissatisfied with me? Last night was my first time... and then..."
"I'm very satisfied." Yan Yunyun said with a smile, "There have been many times in my life, and last night I was the happiest. It's true."
"and you……"
"A good feeling is enough once. I don't want to ruin it. You should call me 'Aunt Han' from now on. It's not suitable for you and me to get married."
Yan Yunyun is obviously very different from before.
She seemed to have become much more confident, and she spoke with a stronger momentum, and said: "Alang is right, public is public, private is private, it is not appropriate to have this kind of relationship with subordinates, there is indeed too much inconvenience. That's all.
Once, I will not make an exception again in the future.”
Li Zhaocheng was completely stunned.
Yan Yunyun patted his shoulder lightly and said, "I have been a prostitute all my life. Last night, I was relieved because of you. Thank you...and I'm sorry."
She waved her hand, turned around and left without any hesitation.
Li Zhaocheng felt lost and stood silently looking at her back, unable to look away for a long time.
He is just a fledgling boy, and this trip to Xuzhou has really been a lot for him.
That evening, the Mongolian army arrived at Xuzhou City.
Li Zhaocheng took Jiang Chun to take a look at the city wall, and suddenly thought of the word "young" mentioned by Yan Yunyun, and felt that a Jiangnan scholar like himself was no different from a little girl in front of the blind people.
He turned to look at Jiang Fan's arms, feeling a little envious.
But there was a sense of spirit welling up in his heart, and Li Zhaocheng felt that he was different...
After a long while, a cry of surprise sounded from the top of the city.
"Guard? Just us! Look what's in this Xuzhou city?"
Jiang Chun panicked, his tone was a little excited, and he pointed at himself, "I am a civil servant, you are a sick man, and..."
He pointed to Jiang Fan, Li Zhaocheng, next to him.
