It wasn't until brothers Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun brought Bai Ying in front of her that Qiongying understood what Ximen Qing meant by "can't run away."
Sure enough, in this battle of strategies, Bai Ying never had any upper hand. All his actions were predicted in advance by Ximen Qing. Even the escape route was anticipated by Ximen Qing and arranged on the Fenhe River.
The next naval force.
Those elite killers are very good on land, but when it comes to water skills, the two brothers Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun are the best in the world, so except for Bai Ying, all the elite killers are floating on the Fen River.
.
At the last moment, Tiexinnu was killed by Zhang Shun, and the head with a different appearance from the Song Dynasty was brought to Guan Sheng and others. Everyone had no doubt that Bai Ying was from Xixia.
Bai Ying will be escorted to the Imperial City Division for final trial. Unlike other elite killers, Bai Ying has never hidden any poison in his teeth; it seems that in his opinion, he himself will never fall into the trap of committing suicide.
The point of death.
"Take this guy down, strip him naked, and check him carefully. Don't let him hide anything!"
Without hesitation, Ximen Qing ordered Group A No. 8 and Group A No. 26 to take Bai Ying down for inspection.
Group A No. 8 and Group A No. 26 understood each other, Bai Ying's face turned pale, and she understood that Ximen Qing didn't really want to investigate anything, but wanted to deprive him of what little dignity he had left.
"You Song dogs...!"
"Check carefully" in the Imperial City Department does not mean to see if there is anything hidden in the clothes, but to check all the hidden places on the body.
In other words, the hair bun, mouth, nose, ears... and even the lower body are also within the scope of "checking carefully".
Bai Ying knew this very well. He had given orders like this once upon a time, but he didn't expect that this time it would be his turn.
In the hands of Group A No. 8 and Group A No. 26, he had no hope of escaping.
When Group A No. 8 took out a piece of soap from the bag, Bai Ying's eyes turned black and she almost fainted from anger.
After a while, No. 8 from Group A and No. 26 from Group A came out of the tent and reported: "Everything has been checked and there is nothing suspicious. The person has been tied up and cannot escape."
"Is it tied firmly enough?" Ximen Qing said with a straight face: "Pull it out and have a look."
When Bai Ying appeared in front of everyone again, she had been tied up with five flowers. Ximen Qing was still not satisfied with this and ordered the soldiers to take the rope away. He did not let Bai Ying go until she turned into a complete rice dumpling.
Qiong Ying looked around and saw that Bai Ying couldn't even stand or lie down, so he could only half-lean in a funny posture. It was better to say that he had become a ball than that the ball had grown.
Come out with your head and feet.
Only then was Ximen Qing satisfied and ordered people to throw Bai Ying into the prison car, and asked Group A No. 8 and Group A No. 26 to bring hundreds of soldiers to escort "Tian Hu" and Bai Ying back to Bianliang first.
Sun An happily came to welcome Guan Yu, Ximen Qing and others into the city. The remaining cities in Fenyang Mansion were not a problem for Sun An at all. Next, he had to take a look at Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen in Weishengzhou.
The situation over there.
The next day, they received military information from someone sent by Lin Chong.
To everyone's surprise, the 20,000 troops led by Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen and others were so elusive in Weisheng Prefecture that Tian Ding was so frightened that he hunkered down in Weisheng City and did not dare to come out to confront the enemy.
Under this situation, the generals of Wuxiang, Qinyuan, Qixian, Linxian and Dada counties sent envoys to Yushe County to express their willingness to surrender.
Even the important town of Taiyuan had an ambiguous attitude. Although it did not send an envoy, in the face of a small group of Song troops appearing near Taiyuan County, guard Zhang Xiong and others did not send troops to drive them away, but just closed the city gates on all sides.
After resting for two or three days, Guan Sheng and Ximen Qing led their troops back to Weisheng Prefecture. This time there was no need to rush the march. The weather in October was a bit cold, and most of the soldiers had put on jackets.
No one worried about the issue of cotton-padded clothes, because every soldier felt that before the first snowfall, or even within a few days, they could capture Wei Shengzhou, complete the three-month expedition, and return to the court victorious.
In fact, faster than they thought.
The army reappeared in Weisheng Prefecture, and all the cities surrendered in the face of the wind. They put on the flags of the Song army one after another. They recovered most of Weisheng Prefecture without any bloodshed. Even Zhang Xiong and others from Taiyuan County could not hold back and sent envoys to ask for surrender.
The eighth day of October.
A large number of surrendered troops were reorganized, and the Song Army Corps, which had become 150,000 soldiers, surrounded Weisheng City. Lin Chong and others had led the troops to join forces.
This time, there was nothing necessary for the siege, and there were no tricks. They just surrounded the city with a bang, and then Ximen Qing, Guan Sheng and others drank tea in the big tent in the camp, waiting for news from Weisheng City.
Tian Ding could see the dark Song army troops surrounding Wei Sheng City from the heights of the palace. A cold wind blew by, making his face paler.
Next to Tian Shi secretly wiping his sweat, the Song army surrounded Weisheng City so tightly that not even a fly could escape.
A few days ago, the news from Fenyang Mansion had reached here. From Tian Hu down, Bai Ying and others were captured by the Song army, and the 100,000-strong army disappeared into thin air.
There are still 100,000 soldiers in the city, but how long can Wei Sheng City hold on?
Even if you can persist, what's the use?
The figure of the father-in-law, Fan Quan, appeared behind the two of them.
"Send the order, anyone who leaves the city without authorization...will be killed without mercy!"
Tian Ding flicked his sleeves and gave a decisive order. If the order was not strict at this juncture, he was afraid that the army would change its mind and Kaicheng surrender would also be possible.
Fan Quan accepted the order and left.
At this moment, a Huangmen official came to report: "Song Jiang is here to see me and to report an emergency."
"Song Jiang?" Boss Tian Shi said impatiently: "What is this fat black man doing here now? All his brothers have escaped, it's useless!"
Huang Menguan was about to leave, but he was stopped by Prince Tian Ding: "Go and call him in."
...
...
Before it was time to turn on the lights at night, a "guest" came to the Song Army camp.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, why did you come?" Ximen Qing yawned and stretched: "If you don't show up, we'll have dinner instead. You came at the meal time, could it be that the abbot has no food to eat?"
Everyone in the tent laughed, and even this "guest" also laughed and said, "Sir Ximen is joking."
"Fan Quan." Ximen Qing straightened his face and suddenly became serious: "Your daughter has died in Jiexiu County, at the hands of Tian Hu."
Fan Quan started to tremble all over, and it took him a long time to suppress it.
Fan Meiren's whereabouts were unknown. Fan Quan had long been mentally prepared, but he didn't expect that the first person to tell Fan Meiren about her death was actually the supervisor.
"Thank you, Lord Ximen, for informing me." Fan Quan said after careful consideration, "Everyone has their own destiny. Maybe this is her destiny."
Ximen Qing seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and glanced over with a sharp gaze, causing Fan Quan to lower his head immediately: "But I heard that it was you who gave your daughter to Tian Hu before you changed the country's head... Don't tell me that this is not the case.
real."
I had long heard that the military supervisor could not see through people with his eyes, but Fan Quan fully understood the meaning of this sentence today.
There are no secrets in front of this Lord Supervisor.
Fan Quan felt that his little thoughts were nothing but a joke to Ximen Qing.
"Everything in the past was just a matter of ignorance." Fan Quan said cleverly: "To see Mr. Ximen today is like clearing the clouds and seeing the sun. I am really lucky..."
Ximen Qing listened with a smile, looking very interested.
"Come on, come on." Guan Sheng on the side almost couldn't bear it anymore, so he stopped Fan Quan from continuing: "You came here today just to meet Lord Ximen, right?"
Fan Quan then stopped talking and expressed his intention to come. Simply put, it was the same as what the envoy said last time. He was willing to secretly open the east gate and lead the Song army into the city.
"Tian Ding issued a strict order not to allow anyone to leave the city. The villain also took a lot of risks to sneak out."
Ximen Qing touched the Lei Gong Stone, thought for a while and said: "If you can capture Weisheng City, you will have done a great job. But having said that, who can guarantee whether you are sincerely surrendering or luring our troops into the city?
?”
Fan Quan fell to his knees with a pop and said: "I am a good citizen of the Song Dynasty. I have no intention of deceiving you. I hope Lord Ximen will notice clearly."
Guan Sheng saw that Fan Quan was sincere, so he secretly told Ximen Qing; Ximen Qing secretly replied: "Fan Quan is not a good person. He exchanged his daughter for the head of the country. Such people with evil intentions..."
Guan Sheng knew what Ximen Qing was thinking, so he asked Fan Quan to get up. Fan Quan knelt straight on the ground, looking at Ximen Qing's face and refused to get up.
After a long time, Ximen Qingcai nodded slightly, and Fan Quan, as if he had received an order, got up from the ground and moved his already numb legs and feet.
"At the beginning of the hour, open the east gate." Ximen Qing said, "How about you personally greet our troops outside the east gate?"
Fan Quan was overjoyed. Although he lost a daughter, he had led the Song army into the city. This great achievement could not be escaped, so he went away happily.
Guan Sheng then discussed with Ximen Qing: "I also know that these people have evil intentions, and they will be dealt with tomorrow."
"The first priority is to capture Weisheng City." Ximen Qing nodded and replied, "It won't be too late to deal with this person after we capture Weisheng City."
Guan Sheng agreed and explained the arrangements for tomorrow in detail with the generals.
Just as everyone was about to say goodbye and disperse, a scar-faced tiger named Liu Hunchback and He Mazi came in under the pressure of a man in black, shouted and threw the man in black in the middle.
"Sir, we have caught a spy! This guy is peeping outside the tent, and his whereabouts are strange!"
"Spies?" Ximen Qing said with a smile: "Weisheng City actually sends spies out to visit the camp when it comes to this?"
Before Ximen Qing finished speaking, the man in black on the ground groaned: "I'm not a spy."
Ximen Qing heard that he seemed familiar, so he ordered: "Look up and take a look!"
As soon as the man in black raised his head, Qin Ming, Sun Li, Liu Tang and others rushed out from the crowd nearby, raising their fists to strike!
