V4.Chapter 27 (1/2)
But Wei Changying's wish to bully his younger brother again several years later was put on hold. Six days later, the only way from Fengzhou to the imperial capital, Huo County, was attacked by refugees, the warehouse was looted, and all the officials below the county magistrate were killed by refugees!
The news reached the court, and all officials were furious!
At first, Su Ping exhibition of Taibao was very happy, after all, it was a reasonable opportunity to increase and advance troops.
But he was not happy for two days. The official document that the imperial court ordered Qingzhou army to rescue the county was still on the way. The news that Qingzhou was 800 Li urgent, because of the county's resistance, and even used pigeon letter made Su Pingzhan want to spit blood - Siamese invasion!
…… Ten years ago, in order to become a marquis, a brother of Suping exhibition fabricated a reason to fight all the way to the capital of Siam, and built dozens of Beijing temples along the way, killing Siam. At that time, the Soviet family plundered countless people. According to common sense, Siam was not strong enough to invade the Wei Dynasty.
Of course, this one doesn't have it. It's according to the great Wei Dynasty more than ten years ago.
Now it is obvious that this small country in the south of Xinjiang saw the internal and external troubles of the great Wei Dynasty and took advantage of the fire to rob.
And I don't know if I heard that the northern part of the Wei Dynasty was under the pressure of the northern army, and Siam was also under the pressure of the whole nation. Su's family was caught off guard, not only killed and wounded many of the border guards, but even lost several cities. Even the neighboring state of Qingzhou and the first important town of Zezhou in southern Xinjiang have been besieged!
In this case, even if the grand master racked his brains, Su Pingzhan did not hesitate to send his own bodyguard to recover the previous official document that let the Qingzhou army eliminate the rebels in Huoxian county and immediately return to Qingzhou!
As soon as the Qingzhou army left, Wei Changfeng and his party, who came to meet the imperial capital, were extremely embarrassed and blocked behind the open city.
It's not just that the private soldiers of Wei family have been in peace for a long time. Even if they train hard, they will be in a hurry for the first time. It's also because Wei Changfeng came to Beijing to meet his relatives, even if he knows that there are many private soldiers and armours on the way But, who can think to take a pro to attack the city???
If we want to succeed in the siege, we must have more people than the defenders.
But now who can compare the number of private soldiers with the number of refugees?
Moreover, the civilian life is as low as grass. The private soldiers carefully raised by the Wei family are very precious compared with them. As long as Wei Changfeng has not fainted his head, he will never let the private soldiers attack the open city without any siege equipment.
However, open city is the only way to go. If you don't go from here, you have to make a detour of nearly a thousand miles recently.
Nearly a thousand miles away or a small matter, the key is that Huo county can be occupied by refugees. If we make a detour, who knows whether we will meet similar things again? After all, there are civil unrest everywhere, and the refugees are surging.
If you don't go that far, there is a path in the middle. But the road is not good for cars and horses. Even people have to be careful and cross several dangerous places to pass. This kind of place can only be tried by a few servants who deliver letters. Even if it is successful, there are still hundreds of miles to the imperial capital after Huo County, which may not be as peaceful as Huo county.
In this case, no one dares to ask Wei Changfeng to take this path
Therefore, Wei Changfeng can only be embarrassed to stop outside the open county.
When the news reached the capital of the emperor, the hair on the temples of the grand master and other officials was much whiter. After discussion, Shen Xuan refused to let the remaining 20 thousand Xiliang troops recover the county, because Shen Xuan thought that there was no peace near the capital and needed Xiliang army to assist the Imperial Lin army in guarding the capital. Therefore, the grand master had no choice but to send someone to join Su Xiuqin and Princess Lingxian to explain that the princess and his wife were looking forward to their son-in-law's coming to the capital because their daughter was very old and their wedding date was fixed. Since they received the news that the welcome team of the Wei family had been blocked by the exiles, they had to rush to every door almost every day, hoping to help the Wei Changfeng pass through the open county.
But now the Shen family can't go out according to the army, and the royal forest army has no hope at all - the soldiers are not willing to call the royal forest army to take part in a large-scale invasion, let alone whether the granddaughter's wedding can be held as scheduled?
Therefore, the princess and his wife are full of frustration, but they have no choice but to send someone to copy the path to send a letter to Wei Changfeng, so that he can return to Fengzhou first. Wait until the passage of Huo county is opened before going to Beijing The marriage period between the two sides has been determined. Su Nianchu is already a member of the Wei family. In case that Wei Changfeng is waiting under the open county, many exiles call this son-in-law something long and short. Isn't Su Nianchu's life over?
In the middle, Princess Lingxian asked Wei Changying to have a talk with the mansion in case of any hope. She mentioned that there were still 20000 Xiliang troops in the capital. But Wei Changying also has no way. According to her own heart, of course, she also hopes that her brother can get married as soon as possible. However, although the Xiliang army belongs to the Shen family, it can't be decided by a woman in her backyard.
Besides, Mrs. Su also told her about not sending Xiliang army to open the county to pacify the chaos. Nowadays, the world is not peaceful. She has left an army in the capital, and the whole family and children are all at ease. Moreover, the siege of the city is no better than the defeat of the enemy. Because of the tight terrain, even though the city wall is not as thick as that of Yanzhou and the trenches are not as deep and wide as that of Yanzhou, it is not so easy to fight down.
