Chapter 1,700 Heavy Losses

What a mess!

In front of the imperial city, two groups of people were fighting.

The civil servants gathered their men behind, and several military generals were surrounded in the middle, roaring in grief and indignation.

Archers came in formation.

A civil servant pointed at the generals and shouted: "Kneel down and ask for surrender. I will wait for you until I die!"

Someone among the generals shouted: "Someone is unjustly accused!"

"Kneel down!"

The civil servant shouted sharply.

"Someone is wronged!"

According to the nature of Yelu Hongji's urine, they were dead.

Therefore, none of the generals wanted to surrender.

"Fire the arrow!"

A hail of arrows covered the place, followed by a few more hedgehogs.

"Go put out the fire!"

The organizational skills of civilian officials are stronger than that of military generals, and they can sort it out in just a few moments.

"They are the ones setting the fire!"

Several civil servants discussed it and finally put the blame on several generals who were killed.

"Is there any evidence?"

In order to escape Yelu Hongji's subsequent punishment, the civil servants began to act.

"Yes." A petty official took out a document from the arms of a general.

"Bring it to me and have a look."

Civil servants gathered around, gritting their teeth as they read the documents.

"You actually want to plot rebellion!"

"Ah... They want to set fire to cause chaos first, and then seize the warehouse! They are also planning to kill us all, how cruel!"

The people who were driven to the edge were all muttering.

"You actually want to rebel?"

"Didn't you hear that they set fire first and then took advantage of the chaos to cause trouble?"

"How brave!"

"It's just that the imperial city was so beautiful, but it was burned down by a fire."

"Just rebuild."

"No money!"

Daliao is poor and has become even poorer in recent years.

In the past year or so, Yelu Hongji has been recruiting troops and constantly expanding his grain and grass reserves, just to have a decisive battle with the Song Dynasty.

Under this kind of torment, Daliao's treasury did not even want to come to the mouse.

The civil servants smiled at each other and felt that this was a very good frame-up method.

"This way I have no worries."

"Well, then I will send someone to report the matter and let His Majesty know about this matter."

A civil servant said seriously: "Everyone, please don't let the news leak out!"

Everyone nodded, "Don't worry, this matter is related to our lives and fortunes, no one will be careless."

The civil servant nodded and said with satisfaction: "So... the matter is settled."

"It's Shen An..." At this time, a general rushed out of the imperial city and shouted: "It was Shen An who set the fire!"

The expressions of the civil servants who were secretly rejoicing froze, and the sergeants who had just shot and killed their superiors slowly turned around.

The people watching were a little disbelieving.

No, everyone doesn’t believe it.

How could Shen An appear here?

And he actually went into the imperial city and set fire to it. Are you talking in your sleep?

The general ran over and said, "There are traces of kerosene around Yuanhe Hall. The soldiers in the imperial city have to be searched every time they come in and out. It is impossible for them to go in with kerosene..."

Something is wrong!

The civil servant said with a cold face: "But there may be collusion between inside and outside!"

"Impossible." The general saw the corpses, and a look of sadness flashed in his eyes.

His brother fell in a pool of blood and was slandered as a rebel before he died.

He roared angrily: "There are also civil servants guarding the gate! Could it be that civil servants are also treasonous?"

This loud roar was like an enlightenment, and everyone around him woke up.

yes!

There are also civil servants guarding the gate. What are these civil servants doing?

"impossible!"

There is a wall between civil servants and military officials, so they don't pee each other.

The general's face turned red, "There is a message on the wall just inside the north gate."

"What word?"

The civil servant sneered: "It must be treason!"

The general looked at him and suddenly slapped him away.

Snapped!

There were also civil and military disputes in Daliao, but most of them were stabbing in the back, and there was no such thing as beating in person.

But now, a military general broke this convention by severely beating a civilian official in front of countless people.

The civil servants were furious, and someone shouted: "He is an accomplice of the traitor, take him down!"

The general said coldly: "That person left a message... Shen An is here for a visit!"

"Get him!"

The civil servant was still shouting, but the surrounding gradually became quiet.

The general said: "I remember last time someone said they got a poem written by Shen An, something about morning and evening. You can check it."

Everyone looked at a civil servant, who gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"

The general glanced at his fallen brother and said, "If you don't believe him, you must send someone to follow him."

"good!"

Both sides paused.

The sound of horse hooves faded away, and Shen An was talking to Cao Yan in a low voice: "Who were you beaten by?"

"Those people surrounded a certain person, one against ten, no, one against a hundred, fighting from left to right..."

Cao Yan was frothing at the mouth, and Shen An said calmly: "Can we not brag? I won't laugh at you."

Cao Yi's shoulders suddenly relaxed and he smiled bitterly: "A certain person was beaten by a group of people. The woman later caught up and used sumo wrestling to throw the certain person to the ground... But then the certain person took advantage of the situation and took advantage of it before leaving. She actually gave this to a certain person..."

As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief from his arms.

Your sister!

Shen An felt that God had no eyes.

Cao Yi said proudly: "She said something in Liao dialect. I concluded that I wanted to ask someone to have a private meeting. I didn't understand, so I just nodded. Hey! If only I understood, I can...hehe tonight! "

Shen An was speechless.

"I will expose you if I find out!" Shen An could only use this to vent his anger.

Cao Yi muttered: "The eldest sister is eager for me to have more sons, so I never care about me looking for a woman."

This is the case in this era. The rich and powerful families hope to have more children, while the common people hope to have fewer children to reduce the pressure in life. The reason for all this is the lack of contraceptive methods.

"I'm coming."

He Bao on the side reminded them in a low voice.

A group of cavalry came from the right, the civil servants who went earlier were among them, and there were two ordinary men inside.

"These two are famous gentlemen in Youzhou City. They are very good at reading. I will ask them to be witnesses today."

The general was so flawless in his work that even Shen An admired him.

"Go in and check!"

Everyone rushed in.

"An Bei, was that your handiwork?" Cao Yan felt that Shen An shouldn't be so careless.

Shen An smiled dryly and said, "It's just an accident."

This was not accidental, but deliberate to make Yelu Hongji angry.

As soon as Lao Ye saw that poem, his blood pressure would definitely rise, and it would be better if it exploded.

"Come on, let's get out of the city as soon as possible."

Shen An led them, taking advantage of the chaos, to find an unguarded section of the city wall, slid down with a rope, and then disappeared into the night.

Those people entered the north gate and arrived there not far away.

"Cinnabar ink!"

The two readers looked at it carefully and then began to examine the handwriting.

After some verification, the two men looked up and said, "This is indeed Shen An's handwriting."

The military general had already gotten the answer from the faces of those civil servants. At this moment, he said with a ferocious smile: "You are slandering my elder brother and the others for treason in order to shirk responsibility. I will not take action on this matter. Just wait for Your Majesty to make a decision. Let's go!"

He went out first, surrounded by soldiers.

The civil servants looked pale, and one of them said, "It's really Shen An who's here?"

"Impossible!" Someone shouted crazily: "This is fake!"

"That's true. Do you still remember how Xingqing Mansion fell?"

Everyone couldn't help but think of the process of the Song Dynasty's destruction of Xixia.

"Then Shen An sneaked into Xingqing Mansion with some people, went straight to find Liang, convinced her, and then commanded Liang's army to fight... Yes, this person dared to take risks..."

Everyone lost their countenance, and someone asked: "He went to Xingqing Mansion to seek Xixia, but why did he come to Youzhou City?"

Someone smiled bitterly and said: "The Song people have been planning the Northern Expedition. He is here to check the defense of Youzhou City."

Everyone was silent, and someone sneered: "Don't think about it. Now that the matter has been revealed, we should think about how to deal with His Majesty's anger."

"Let's go out." Someone took the lead, and everyone walked out slowly, their steps looking particularly heavy.

The last person walking at the end was a Han official. He looked back at the words on the wall from time to time and murmured: "The Great Song Dynasty is going to make the Northern Expedition? The Great Song Dynasty... The Great Song Dynasty... Han'er..."

The name Han'er had been forgotten for many years, but when he said it again, he felt a little lost.

Outside the north gate, the two scholars were talking about their findings.

"That's Shen An's handwriting, absolutely correct!"

Suddenly there was an uproar outside.

"Didn't they find some documents from that person earlier, saying that they first set fire to the palace and then rebelled?"

"That must be a fake!"

"Yes, the fire in the imperial city is the fault. Those people made false accusations in order to escape the blame."

"Tsk, tsk! These people are so bold!"

So far, the truth of this matter has been revealed. The civilian officials are ashen-faced, and the remaining generals are happy but also sad.

They collected the corpses of their colleagues and prepared them for burial. UU reading www.uukanshu.net

Someone suddenly said: "Why did someone shoot arrows earlier?"

yes!

Why did someone shoot an arrow?

Everyone was startled, and the civil servants also felt something was wrong, "If it hadn't been for someone shooting an arrow, we wouldn't have thought of that. Who was it?"

Everyone looked at each other.

"Then after Shen An set the fire, would he be in the city? His men are all elites. Who can guard against firing arrows in the dark?"

"Yes!" The civil servants felt that the matter was gone.

"He's in the city, search! Search the whole city!"

Then there was a search throughout the city.

But after searching and searching, I couldn't find a single hair.

"not here!"

The two sides met somewhere, and the fire was blazing, illuminating the angry faces.

"Then Shen An is so brave!" A civil servant whose eyes were beaten into panda eyes said angrily: "How did he sneak in? Take down the sergeant who was guarding the door during this period and torture him severely!"

No one had any objection to this, and someone immediately went to implement it.

The civil servant with panda eyes looked at everyone, "I drank some wine tonight. When I woke up, the city was completely different. You have done a good job!"

This is also a clarification, but it is true that he did not participate, and at most it was dereliction of duty.

Everyone was silent.

The panda-eyed civil servant said: "When Shen An entered Youzhou City, he must have come to check the city's defenses. Do you know what's important here?"

The general whose brother was killed said: "It doesn't matter if spies come to investigate. They don't have that vision. But Shen An is a famous general in the world. He came to check in person. He must have seen all the strengths and weaknesses of Youzhou City." .”

This is a great loss!
