Chapter 338 Capture Wang Xie!
Li Renli left the Song Dynasty quickly, and he did not even stay in Huizhou for long.
At the end of the fourth year of Jingkang's reign, it snowed heavily for many days in the entire northwest.
On the fifth day of December, Li Renli returned to Xixia.
When Li Qianshun heard that the Song Army was being rotated, he stood up from his chair excitedly: "Is this news true?"
"Ren Dejing, the general magistrate of Xi'an Prefecture, told me. He also asked me to send his daughter. He hopes that your majesty can introduce her to the harem. He is willing to send news for us."
After speaking, Li Renli asked someone to bring Ren Dejing's eldest daughter up.
Ren Dejing's eldest daughter was as good looking as his younger daughter. As soon as he came in, Li Qianshun felt that this was definitely not a problem.
But Li Qianshun was a cautious person, and he asked: "If Ren Dejing doesn't do the good work of Xi'an Prefecture Tongpan, why should he surrender to us? Isn't this unreasonable?"
"According to Ren Dejing, this rotation may be related to the Song Dynasty's investigation of corruption in the northwest."
"Where did this come from?"
"Ren Dejing did not give a strong argument for this matter. It was just speculation, but I think it is very likely."
Weiming Anhui said: "Your Majesty, I feel that Ren Dejing has no need to lie. Is it possible that he still wants to break into our court through this method and become a spy for the Song Dynasty?"
"Does any of you know this Ren Dejing?"
Brother Richard said: "I heard people from Huizhou mentioned that this person is greedy."
"So, this person's words are credible?"
Li Renli said: "It's credible."
Weiming Anhui immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't hesitate any longer, take this opportunity to send troops to attack the Song Dynasty and reach Jingzhao Mansion in one fell swoop!"
Li Qianshun fell into deep thought and thought for a long time before asking: "Where is Liu Yu?"
"Liu Yu should be in Hejian Mansion at this time."
"How soon did he start conquering the Song Dynasty?"
Weiming Anhui said casually: "Soon, expected to be this winter!"
Li Qianshun said: "As long as Liu Yu takes action, we will take action."
Weiming Anhui said: "We can't delay it. If the rotation of the Song Army ends, it will be too late."
"It can't be so fast. Even if the rotation is over, the running-in period between the new generals and the soldiers below will take at least several months."
Li Qianshun believed that if Liu Yu took action first, the Song Dynasty would shift its resources to Hebei. When he took action again, the Song army would be more passive and have more room for maneuver.
"Then Chen is now writing an urgent letter eight hundred miles away."
Weiming Anhui quickly sent people to go eight hundred miles northwest to send the Song army intelligence to Yanjing, and convey it to Wanyan Zongwang, through Wanyan Zongwang, he promoted Liu Yu's actions in Hebei.
Weiming Anhui was extremely excited. He felt that if this thing was done, the Song Dynasty would lose the Guanzhong Plain. Not only would he have made meritorious service in Xixia, but he would also have an explanation for the Jin Kingdom. From now on, in Xixia, one person would definitely be inferior to ten thousand people.
At the end of December, after two months of rotation, a large number of officers of the Northwest Forbidden Army arrived at new posts.
There were also a group of upper-level officers summoned to the capital to enter the martial arts lecture hall.
It can be said that the handling of the northwest has taken a critical step forward.
On December 23, the sky and the earth turned white, as if some living things had been swallowed up, leaving only the sound of wind and snow.
"Director Yang, ahead is Fushi County, the administrative center of Yan'an Prefecture," Li Fu said.
Li Fu was originally in the Imperial City Division. Due to his meritorious service, he was promoted and transferred to the Military Governor's Mansion to serve as Marquis of Yu. He was considered one of Zhao Ning's capable officers for Yang Yizhong.
Yang Yizhong said: "Where is Liujia Village? Let's go to Liujia Village first."
"According to reports, it is more than 20 miles south of Fushi County. It should be in that direction."
"Walk!"
Yang Yizhong pulled the reins, and a group of people rushed towards Liujiacun in the ice and snow.
At noon, a little girl in thin clothes was squatting at the entrance of the village in a daze. She saw a group of people approaching and looked at them curiously.
Yang Yizhong came over and asked, "Is this Liujia Village?"
The little girl looked at them curiously and nodded: "Yes."
"Can Liu Bing live here?"
The little girl suddenly turned around and ran towards the thatched house: "Mom, someone is looking for Liu Bing!"
The little girl's voice attracted the attention of many villagers.
Some people stuck their heads out.
And Yang Yizhong led some people into the village.
Yang Yizhong said: "Dear fellow villagers, I was sent by the imperial court to investigate the murder of Liu Song. Is his son Liu Bing here?"
The little girl's mother came out, protected her behind her, looked at Yang Yizhong and others, and said, "What do you want from Liu Bing?"
Yang Yizhong repeated it again: "I was sent by the imperial court to investigate the murder of Liu Song. I heard that Liu Bing is his third son? I want to talk to Liu Bing."
A villager said: "You should leave quickly, we don't have Liu Bing here."
But the little girl suddenly said: "Liu Bing was taken away by the prefect of Yan'an Prefecture more than two months ago and never came back."
The woman quickly asked the little girl to stop talking nonsense.
Yang Yizhong glanced at the surrounding villagers and saw fear and worry in their eyes.
The atmosphere in the whole village was terrifyingly depressing.
Yang Yizhong continued to ask: "Let me ask a question, how much pension gold was given to the deceased who enlisted in the army in your village?"
No one answered his question.
After a while, a villager said: "I gave you thirty guan."
That villager was wearing tattered clothes. If he had been issued thirty strings, how could his clothes be in such tatters?
Yang Yizhong looked at a little boy and asked: "How old is he?"
"Twelve years old."
Yang Yizhong took out a piece of cooked dried meat from his waist and said, "Come here, let's eat it for you!"
The little boy rushed over quickly: "Give it to me?"
Yang Yizhong gave it to him, and other villagers were envious of it.
The little boy's father rushed out quickly: "Huzi, don't take other people's things!"
"Let me ask you, how much pension did the government pay to the people who died in the war in your village?"
"Always." The little boy spat out.
His father rushed over and hugged him, took the dried meat and gave it back to Yang Yizhong. He took the little boy away and spanked him repeatedly until the little boy started crying.
"The child is ignorant, please forgive me!"
"It's true!" It was the little girl who spoke this time, "Brother Bing was taken away by the prefect."
"What nonsense!" The little girl's mother quickly covered her mouth and took him into the house.
Yang Yizhong sighed, and Li Fu said: "Military Governor, we have the answer, let's go to Fushi County."
"Walk!"
At this time, Wang Xie was munching on mutton and drinking. He said enthusiastically: "The sheep of the Western Xia people are more delicious than the sheep of the Jin people. I will give you some more tomorrow!"
"Yes, I will make arrangements now." Yang Heng, the magistrate of Fushi County, said with a smile, "Prefect Wang, the new commander who has been transferred this time, would like to treat you to a meal tonight."
"Um?"
Yang Heng quickly asked someone to bring a small box up. After opening it, he found that it was full of copper coins, at least dozens of them.
"This is a meeting gift from him."
"It's easy to talk, let's wait until I go to have a good time first, and then we'll talk in the evening."
After eating the mutton and drinking wine, Wang Xie immediately ran to the back.
The market is not good these days, many people are selling their daughters, and Wang Xie’s family has many maids.
