    Taiyuan Fucheng, Hedong Road is where the pacification envoy and judge Wu Min's Yamen Office of Taiyuan Prefecture is located.  People come in and out from time to time inside and outside the government office.  There were officers traveling around to deliver orders, cavalrymen rushing back and forth to report the latest military information, and various officials asking for instructions on various matters.  Everyone was in a hurry, and everyone could not hide their uneasy look.  There is at least one full command of soldiers who are densely packed inside and outside the government office.  Everyone was wearing armor and looked at the people going in and out with unkind expressions.  Sometimes it is said that horses are riding straight in. The soldiers' expressions are tense, their hands are pressing the handles of their swords, and they look like they are already nervous to a certain extent.  On the porch outside the government office, there were countless people sitting and standing who came to Wu Min to inquire about information. Most of them were prominent people in Taiyuan Mansion.  At this moment, Wu Min no longer has the rich and honorable style he used to have. Wu Min has a lot of things to do. These people are not worthy of the status of being readily available. They can only wait here, sit for a long time, and walk around rubbing their hands.  , whispering to each other, all with sad faces.  Whenever there is a flag and sign hurriedly coming out of the inner hall, these people will rush up, talking and asking questions, and their words have the same meaning.  What does comfort mean?  Is it too late to stay in Taiyuan City?  Since the war situation in Hedong took a turn for the worse, there has been such an atmosphere of panic in Taiyuan City.  The troops on the Hedong Road are distributed in three areas, with Han Shizhong in the middle, the Zhejia Army guarding the river outside the west, and Yue Fei guarding the bottle-shaped line of Yanmen. They should both support Yandi and the direction north of Hebei, and at the same time watch the Taihang Trail.  The Forbidden Army stationed in Hedong has been reorganized, and the most important fighting forces are concentrated in the peripheral areas.  There were two camps left behind, the Daizhou camp still had some soldiers, and the Taiyuan camp only had two or three thousand soldiers who had been demoted. They were either too old and weak to fight, or they were slippery and cowardly.  In short, they are all unable to fight.  The main task is to protect the various supervisory departments in the city and maintain the security of the city. At the same time, a large amount of manpower is consumed in escorting and transporting materials and food.  The Jurchen Tatars suddenly broke through Kelan's army.  Heading southward at once, Han Shizhong was in front.  The flanks are exposed, and even if they want to retreat, they can only take cover alternately and retreat step by step.  Otherwise, once a flaw is revealed and the Jurchen Tatars attack from the side, even if the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army is not completely annihilated, it will still be severely defeated!  Along the way to Yue Fei, the flames of war between Yan and Di broke out almost at the same time.  The defense line guarded by the Yue Feilong Guards was quite long, and most of the available mobile forces were mobilized to support the direction of Yan. Now even if the Dragon Guards want to withdraw, they must gather their forces and abandon the defense line to retreat to the Shilingguan line.  It¡¯s not much faster than Han Shizhong!  But the Jurchen army is moving south very quickly. The latest news is that the Jurchen Tatars have entered Lanzhou.  Han Yue's troops didn't know whether they could return to Taiyuan in time.  If the Jurchen Tatars attack from the direction of Loufan County, how can Taiyuan be able to withstand it?  Taiyuan City was originally an extremely majestic and solid city famous in the world. During the Five Dynasties, it occupied the east side of the Taiyuan River and overlooked the Central Plains.  Enough to compete for the world.  After the founding of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty and the Later Han Dynasty launched a series of cruel wars around Taiyuan City. I don¡¯t know how many Daliang elite soldiers were killed in front of this majestic city.  After Zhao Kuangyi finally captured Taiyuan.  The original Taiyuan City was destroyed.  Today, Taiyuan City has not only changed its location, but its scope has also become much smaller.  However, the most suitable place for population gathering on Hedong Road is the Fenhe Plain. At this moment, there are hundreds of thousands of people in and around Taiyuan City.  New Taiyuan City is not large enough to accommodate them, and there are residential areas scattered everywhere outside the city.  Some of these buildings are higher than the city wall and are closely integrated with the city wall.  The defensive function of the city wall has been weakened to an unknown extent.  There are few soldiers and incomplete city walls, and there are too many people living inside and outside the city.  How can people keep this?  In the time and space without Xiao Yan, Wang Zhen guarded Taiyuan.  One is that the preparation time is slightly longer.  The second is that Wang Zhen's military strength, both in terms of combat capability and quantity, is much stronger than what Wu Min can control at this moment.  Moreover, Wang Zhen also used decisive measures to burn down all the residential buildings outside the city wall.  In this way, Taiyuan City was narrowly held on.  But the hundreds of thousands of people outside Taiyuan City were outnumbered by the people who fled.  Also lost in the flames of war!  Under such circumstances, there has been a frenzy of escape in Taiyuan City.  The rich people of the Jin Dynasty drove their carriages and horses, and the poor people relied on their legs to support the elderly and the young, bringing their families and families together, crowding the roads, and the crowds gathered together and surged southward!  "The people guarding Wu Min's office at the moment are people with official status and errands, either from prefectures and counties near Taiyuan, or officials from various supervisory departments.  If you can't bear the blame for abandoning your post and absconding, you have to appease the envoy to make this decision. When the time comes, everyone will disperse in a hurry, and you will be able to explain it.  During the hustle and bustle, I heard heavy footsteps coming from the direction of the festival hall, and what came out was a figure who looked like a general.  It turned out to be Jiang Wei, the military commander of Hedong Road.  This character has always been kind to others. Although he has little ability, he is very popular.  When Han Shizhong made a big fuss on Hedong Road, Jiang Wei was also very knowledgeable.Not only did he not become his enemy, but he also cooperated quite well. He also put a lot of effort into Han Yue's efforts to rectify the imperial troops stationed on Hedong Road.  Since Jiang Wei is so knowledgeable, Han Shizhong will naturally not let him get off the stage.  After reporting to Xiao Yan, Jiang Wei's official position was promoted one level, and he could not be dispatched.  Although there are not many Forbidden Forces stationed at Hedong Road under his command, he still has a name in the Taiyuan camp. Thousands of lower-ranked Forbidden Forces stationed at Taiyuan are obeying his orders, and he can be considered prudent and diligent in cooperating with the transfer of frontline military supplies, food and pay.  Wu Min and he were both forced to belong to the lineage of King Yan. Although they were in the same boat, although they had different careers in civil and military affairs, they had a little affection for each other, and Jiang Wei could be said to be talkative in front of Wu Min.  When the bad news came from Kelan's army, Wu Min asked Jiang Wei to work in the pacification mission office day and night. The two of them were often discussing something secretly.  At this moment, seeing Jiang Wei suddenly appear, a group of people immediately swarmed up, bowed and bowed around Jiang Wei, and started asking questions.  "Jiangdu Supervisor, what is the regulation of appeasement? Please clarify! Several Lu Si have been sitting in the festival hall all day. It's a pity that I have to wait for the subordinates to work hard here!" "Jiangdu Supervisor, Han Yue, two generals  Where are the Lord's troops and horses now? The Jurchen Tatars have entered Lanzhou. Should the troops and horses from the two places turn back? " "Jiangdu Supervisor, where are the troops and horses of King Yan heading north?  In your hands, Xiaguan still has a relationship with the governor. When you established Zhuangzi, Xiaguan put in a lot of effort! Now the lives of the officials in the city are at stake. Are you unwilling to say anything about it?  Jiangdu Supervisor. But please let me know! Whenever I get a job, I will definitely do my best!" Although the status of military officials has been on the rise since the rise of King Yan, especially on Hedong Road.  The status of military ministers is enough to compete with civil servants.  However, after hundreds of years of strong inertia, the civil servants still naturally had a precipitous attitude in front of the old military ministers.  But now no one can care about it.  A group of green-robed officials crowded around Jiang Wei, pushing and shoving each other, trying to overpower each other. More than a dozen hands stretched out in front of Jiang Wei, pulling him to his knees.  These officials were also crowded to the point where their heads were tilted and their official boots were loose. Where could the civil servants still behave in a reserved and arrogant manner in front of the military ministers?  Although Jiang Wei is a military minister and has a fat body, he is weak.  Can't even put on armor.  Being pulled by a bunch of big turbans, I couldn't stand still, and my face was covered with oil and sweat.  He rushed to say hello: "Everyone, everyone! Stay here for a while! Stay here for a while! I am going out to send more people to the direction of General Han, General Yue, Lord Yan, and Lanzhou to find out the news, and  Let the general go first!" A young official in green robes raised his arms and said, "What are you hiding from me now? You must know that I am also an official and share the same fate with Hedong!  Are you trying to flatter Han Yue and ignore me? In this case, I will break into the festival hall to ask for an explanation!" This sentence can be said to be the voice of this group of officials who were eager to get angry.  Those who responded loudly and waved their fists were like migrant workers trying to force their way into the festival hall.  Although trespassing in the festival hall is a serious crime of exile.  But these desperate officials did not believe that Wu Min could punish so many officials of the Song Dynasty in one go!  Seeing that the situation was about to get worse, Jiang Wei hurriedly waved his hand: "Everyone, stay here for a while!" The green-robed official who was the first to shout almost poked Jiang Wei's nose with his finger: "Then you tell us the truth.  !¡± Jiang Wei looked around, he had always made good friends everywhere, but now that he was forced here, he finally couldn¡¯t keep his mouth shut.  He motioned for everyone to come closer and lower their voices.  " General Han handed over the military information and said that he was stationing troops in the valley village to support the withdrawal of the army from the north. He was unable to return to Fucheng for a while. After General Yue learned of the military information, he was mobilizing troops. He said it was  It will take at most five days to send a force of troops to support Taiyuan Mansion. As for King Yan" Jiang Wei sighed: "The King of Yan's headquarters was blocked by a river and was still preparing to cross the river.  But it¡¯s only been four days, and now it¡¯s great to be able to cross the Yellow River with the whole army You know that King Yan is marching in person! How can this be done quickly with a saint in the army? "  He confessed what was supposed to be a secret military information in one breath, made a bow and said with a smile: "Officials, I, Lao Jiang, have told me what should be said and what should not be said.  Let's go back to the Yamen. If the people are in chaos, Taiyuan City will really not be able to be defended! There is only one road from Yifang to Loufan, and there are thousands of Lanzhou defenders.  General Yue's reinforcements will be arriving by then. Are you afraid that Taiyuan Mansion will not be able to hold on? Let the general go on business first. Thank you very much!" When the officials heard that Yue Fei's reinforcements would arrive in a few days, they were quiet.  Some.  At this time, it would be good to have reinforcements coming.  But even if Yue FeiWhen the soldiers come, can Taiyuan Mansion be saved?  The Jurchen army from the Yan region is also swarming in. Yue Fei also needs to support the Yan region and guard the Taihang trails to prevent the Jurchen East Route Army from attacking southward.  There are more places to defend. Even if reinforcements are rushed in, how many will there be?  Can you get ahead of the turmoil caused by the Jurchen army?  Now I just hope that the troops and horses stationed in Lanzhou can fulfill their responsibilities, unlike the Zhejia army who killed a thousand swords and held off the Jurchen Tatars for a few more days!  Those who think deeper are filled with despair.  The war situation in Hedong has deteriorated, and Yan and Hebei are no better.  The Western Army is still far away in Shaanxi Province, and there is no master in Bianliang City.  The situation has become extremely dangerous.  When King Yan reached his current position, everyone in the dynasty was an enemy, and the dynasty was torn apart.  If the main force of King Yan is destroyed in Hedong, the court may attack King Yan immediately.  Although this King of Yan is disliked by everyone, he has a strong army and has been fighting the Tatars. Once he is defeated, who will stand up as the mainstay?  The sky is about to fall, who can make up for it?  ¡°Are we all going to die together with the city in Taiyuan Prefecture?  At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside, and then several soldiers were seen helping a person in.  ¡°This man was in his early thirties, and it turned out that he took good care of himself.  But now he was wearing common people's clothes, which were already covered with dust and dirty.  There is a waist bag tied around the waist. Judging from the bulging shape, it should be an official seal.  This man didn¡¯t know how much hardship he had endured along the way. He couldn¡¯t walk with his legs spread wide. As soon as he entered the government office, he burst into tears and almost collapsed to the ground. Thanks to the soldiers beside him, he was held up.  Finally someone recognized this person.  Couldn't he be the county magistrate of Zhiloufan?  Jinshi was born in poetry and wine, and in his early thirties, he was about to complete his qualifications for two terms as county magistrate. If it hadn't been for the chaos in the court a few days ago, he would have returned to Beijing and entered Wutai.  In the past, when I came to Taiyuan Fucheng for business, I could easily stay for more than ten days. The banquet was in an amazing style and the small words were pleasant.  He is someone who is highly regarded by everyone. Even the slightly flattering people will praise him for his talent as a prime minister, and this person also has no doubts about it.  But now, I don¡¯t know where to throw this future prime minister¡¯s magnanimity and famous poet¡¯s style.  His face was full of snot and tears were streaming down his face, mixed with the dust on his face, and he rushed out of all the underworld. He was so embarrassed that it was beyond words.  He whimpered twice and finally burst into tears.  "The Tatars are trapped in the building! I fought hard to find a way out and asked for help from An Yao!" Everyone who was originally quarreling fell into silence at this moment.  There seems to be thunder in everyone's heart.  Are the Tatars already in trouble?  Loufan is only two hundred miles away from Taiyuan Mansion!  In two days at most, the Tatar army will march straight into Taiyuan City.  This Hedong is finished!  By extension, the Song Dynasty is about to end!  The county magistrate¡¯s cries were earth-shattering.  Finally, not knowing who it was, he suddenly shouted: "Why are you still waiting here to die? Run away!" The officials of the Song Dynasty who gathered in a group in the courtyard suddenly exploded, lifted up their robes and ran out.  This situation is irreversible. At this time, just take care of yourself!  Even the officials who still have some integrity are desperate to the extreme at this time.  Who can save the situation in Hedong and the fate of the Song Dynasty?  "Is this day really going to collapse?"  (To be continued) ps: I just came back to code this evening, it¡¯s a bit late, sorry.
