  Chapter 1035 Introducing gold into the urn

Once Wang Gui and Wu Jie made a decision, they immediately started to act. They began to persuade the people to leave the city. When the people heard that the Jin soldiers had burned, killed and looted the Daming Mansion, and they were about to come to the Hejian Mansion again, they were frightened and helped each other. The old and the young packed up their belongings and fled their homes. Eighty thousand people fled the county almost overnight, and hundreds of elderly people who refused to leave their homes were also forcibly carried away by soldiers.

  At the same time, the hundreds of thousands of shi of grain and grass in the warehouses in the city also began to be moved. Except for the tens of thousands of shi of grain held by the people, the rest of the grain army moved outside the North City and temporarily dug a large pit on the ground to bury them.

After a full day and a half of work, Wang Gui got the information that 30,000 gold soldiers had arrived in Leshou County, a hundred miles away, this news made Wang Gui secretly happy. At that time, it was already dark. It would be best if the Jin soldiers were willing to enter the city. If they refused to enter the city, it would be an opportunity for them to rest outside the city.

  But Wu Jie still has some details to deploy, he must use tricks to lure the Jin soldiers into the city.

Wanyan Zongfu led 30,000 cavalry all the way north. He supplemented his troops and horses by plundering food from the people, but as Wu Jie judged, the food they plundered from the people was far from enough. Most of them were exhausted after running, and they could only count on Hejian County's food supplies.

In the afternoon, the army arrived at Beilin Town, which was 40 miles away from Hejian County. When the army passed through the town, they saw that the town was empty. This made Wanyan Zongfu a little strange. When they went south, the town was still a bit crowded. Why is there no one now? Could it be that they all ran away when they heard that Jin Bing was coming?

  At this time, I suddenly heard someone shouting on the street: "Stop, don't run away!"

   I saw two civilians fleeing in a panic from the alley, followed by a group of Hebei troops chasing after them.

  Wan Yan Zongfu pointed his whip, "Stop them and bring them all here!"

   More than a hundred cavalry rushed up, and in a short while, they escorted a dozen Ji soldiers up, but the two civilians ran into the woods and escaped.

  A dozen soldiers were trembling and seemed a little scared. Wanyan Zongfu looked them up and asked, "Are you Gao Qingyi's army?"

  One of the **** team had the courage to salute: "Exactly! We are General Sun's subordinates."

  General Sun is Sun Jingwu, Gao Qingyi's lieutenant general, currently staying in Hejian Mansion, Wanyan Zongfu knows this person.

  Wanyan Zongfu asked again: "Then what are you doing here?"

   "We came to collect the summer grain tax. This year's tax can't be collected. General Sun sent all the soldiers to the countryside to help collect the tax. We were in charge of the area of ​​Beilin Town. As a result, the people ran away when they saw us."

  Yan Zongfu finally realized that there was no one in Beilin Town. It turned out that there was a group of wolf-like tax collectors grabbing food here.

   "How much tax and food have you collected?"

   "I took more than a hundred stones of wheat, and it's in the cart in front."

Wanyan Zongfu was overjoyed. Although there was not much wheat, it was better than nothing. He immediately sent people to fetch the wheat. After a while, Jin Bing drove over with several carts full of grain. Wanyan Zongfu ordered the grain to be distributed to the soldiers. , One hundred shi of grain was distributed to 30,000 soldiers, and each person only had about three heels, which was equivalent to half a catty.

  The golden soldiers ate rudely, chewed them in their mouths, and then spit out the chaff. At this time, Wanyan Zongfu asked again: "How many troops are there in the city?"

   "There are probably a few hundred people! They all went down to collect food."

   "Is there any food and grass in the city?"

   "Of course there are. I heard that there are tens of thousands of shi. There were more in the past, but most of them were transported south by the King of Ji, so the King of Ji ordered us to collect 200,000 shi of grain no matter what."

  Wan Yan Zongfu nodded, tens of thousands of stones are enough.

  He immediately ordered: "Everyone cheer up and go to Hejian County to have a rest and eat!"

   Thirty thousand gold soldiers got on their horses one after another and accelerated to Hejian County, which was 40 miles away.

  Just as night fell, 30,000 gold soldiers finally arrived in Hejian County. The guard led a dozen soldiers out of the city to greet him, "General Yang Yi will meet Marshal Du!"

   This Yang Yi was only a mid-level officer, and Wanyan Zongfu didn’t know him. He only knew the deputy general Sun Jingwu. Wanyan Zongfu asked, “Where is your general Sun?”

   "General Sun rushed to Raoyang with two thousand brothers. The farmers there rioted and killed the grain requisition officer. General Sun led the army to suppress it."

  After Yan Zongfu nodded, he already knew a little information in Beilin Town, so it was not surprising. He looked up at the top of the city, and there were only a hundred people standing guard. He asked again: "How many soldiers are there in the city?"

   "There are still 500 people in charge of guarding the city. The barracks in the city are empty. Marshal Du and the army are invited to go and rest."

  Wan Yan Zongfu had no doubts, nodded, and said to the left and right: "Order the army to enter the city!"

  The 30,000 troops were all exhausted, and they urged their horses to go to the city.

  Yang Yi took Wanyan Zongfu to the military camp in the city, and he asked again: "How much food and grass are there in the city?"

   "There are still 50,000 shi of grain and 60,000 dan of forage, and the rest have been transported to Daming Mansion. There is not much left."

   This amount of food and grass is enough for Jin Bing. At this time, Wanyan Zongfu found that the city was very quiet, and there was no pedestrian on the street. He asked a little strangely: "Is there a curfew in the city?"

Yang Yi was a bit puzzled: "There was news from Daming Mansion that Jin soldiers were plundering the surrounding counties and counties. The people in the city were frightened when they heard that Marshal Du led the army. Today tens of thousands of people fled away. The common people are afraid to go out.”

Wanyan Zongfu's face darkened immediately. Of course he knew that Wanyan's mother would let the Bohai people and Koreans burn and loot in Hebei. Although he didn't resist the burning itself, he felt that Li Yanqing's 200,000 troops had already crossed the Yellow River. It is very unwise for Wanyan's mother to waste time in the Daming Mansion.

  After Yan Zongfu lowered his head and considered how to explain to the wolf lord after returning, he stopped paying attention to the affairs of the people in the city.

In fact, Wanyan Zongfu also burned, killed and looted all the way to the north. In his heart, Song people were like pigs and dogs. He didn't have any military discipline, but he knew in his heart that Hejian County was Gao Qingyi's old nest. Gao Qingyi himself and many family members of generals They are all in the county. If the soldiers are allowed to burn, kill and loot in Hejian County, I am afraid that Gao Qingyi will be rebelled against. Wanyan Zongfu will not do such a stupid thing.

  The 30,000 troops quickly entered the barracks. The barracks covers an area of ​​1,500 mu. It is the largest barracks of the Hebei army and can accommodate 50,000 soldiers. There is no training ground, and it is a little bit reluctant for 30,000 cavalry to live in.

However, there are thousands of stones of grain, tens of thousands of loads of fodder, vegetables and fish, and thousands of bags of goat milk wine in the barracks, which made the golden soldiers ecstatic. The soldiers began to feed the horses and cook, but more soldiers couldn't wait. Open the wine bag and drink wildly.

Wanyan Zongfu, however, was preoccupied, sitting in the room and meditating. He also knew that he would be impeached by Wanyan's mother if he left the Daming Mansion without authorization. If something happened to Wanyan's mother's army, the wolf lord would not spare him. Regret, I shouldn't be hotheaded and lead the army northward.

  But the matter has come to this point, and he has no choice. After much deliberation, the only excuse is that Yanshan has insufficient troops.

  At this time, cheers came from outside, Wanyan Zongfu walked out of the room and asked, "What happened?"

  A soldier rushed forward and said: "Brothers found thousands of bags of milk wine in the cellar, and everyone was ecstatic."

  After Yan Zongfu frowned, "Tell everyone to drink less, don't get drunk and won't even be able to ride a horse tomorrow."

   "Follow the order!"

  The soldiers were about to leave when Wanyan Zongfu ordered again: "Bring me a bag too!"

  He is very depressed and needs to drink to relieve his boredom.

  Yang Yi's name is real, but his identity is a commander of the Song Army. Because he is from Hejian Prefecture, Wu Jie arranged for him to play the role of the guard.

  Yang Yi ran to the city wall and found Wu Jie, and whispered to him: "The Jin soldiers asked me for a thousand women, what should I do?"

  Wu Jie thought for a while and asked, "Are all Jin soldiers drinking?"

   "They're all drinking!"

  Wu Jie added a special anesthetic powder to each bag of goat's milk wine. Because he was afraid that Jin Bing would taste the taste, he added a small amount, but it was enough to deepen the drunkenness.

  But Wu Jie was also worried. He was afraid that after Jin Bing was drunk, he would come out in groups to invade the houses, and then they would be exposed.

  Wu Jie said decisively: "Order the brothers to set fire and evacuate immediately!"

  The Song army hid a large amount of kerosene, sulfur and other fire starters in the city, and drained a river in the city, pouring kerosene, so that the Jin soldiers had nowhere to hide.

Hundreds of soldiers began to set fire to the city. At this time, the north and south gates were also closed suddenly. The Song army blocked the gates from the outside with huge stones. The 80,000 troops surrounded the county tightly. Can't escape the siege of the Song army.

  At this time, the soldiers who set fire to the city also retreated to the city wall. They quickly climbed down the city along more than a dozen long ropes, and the last few soldiers lit the long ropes, cutting off the last hope of the Jin soldiers.

The city was already on fire at this time, and the fire engulfed most of the city. The fire had already reached the barracks. He got drunk and was supported by several soldiers to flee for his life, but the Jin soldiers quickly despaired. The entire Hejian County was burned like a fire demon, and the entire county was engulfed in thick smoke and fire.

  All the gold soldiers shouted in despair. ． ． ． ．

  Wang Gui had to admire Wu Jie's strategy, which was thoughtful and meticulous, without any omissions, and it actually succeeded.

  At this moment, Wang Gui looked at the raging fire and thick smoke in the city, and heaved a long sigh, "This son of a **** is indeed better than me!"
