Chapter 3019
The high-ranking officials and dignitaries left one after another, and the people at the bottom just gathered at the door to watch the fun, not knowing what happened.

Someone well-informed was discussing at the door, "I heard that the hunters from the north are calling?"

"Hunks? Didn't they just make peace with us? Didn't their princess marry our Majesty?"

"That's a Xixia barbarian, not a Liaoren."

"The Liaoren called to care about our business, the food that should be paid is indispensable."

"That's right, no matter who comes, we people are still people, we have to plant land if we should plant land, and we must pull carts if we should pull carts."

"You are confused! Didn't you see that all these officials ran away? I heard from my son in Yanmenguan that these wild men are fierce and brutal, and they kill anyone they see. It is said that there were millions of Song people outside the pass. All of them were killed by them!"

"It's so scary!"

"Ah, then should we also run away quickly?"

"Run? Where are you going? Do you have the money? If you leave your hometown and don't know the place outside, why don't you go to the street to beg for food?"

"It's true, I will stay here. Barefoot people are not afraid of those who wear shoes. I will see how powerful the Liaoren are."

"Yes, yes, I didn't provoke them, so would they still kill people for no reason?"

"..."

Although everyone was born in the frontier, they have not seen the Liaoren for hundreds of years, and for several generations, they have only heard the impression of the Liaoren.

Although everyone was a little flustered, but the reaction was not that great, and they still had to do what to do.

However, the news of the Liaoren going south quickly affected the commercial operations in the city.

Grain and rice shops on the street, as well as seasonal fruits and vegetables, including cloth, meat, and all daily necessities have increased in price as if they had been negotiated.

People who reacted quickly rushed to buy some food and stocked it up. Those who reacted slowly waited until evening, when the shops were closed, and there was already a queue of hundreds of meters outside.

On the street, these people soon saw soldiers in armor patrolling over.

They were full of murderous aura, like soldiers who came down from the Shura battlefield.

The cold guns in their hands were still stained with blood, and they patrolled the streets and alleys in an orderly manner.

This kind of chaotic and disorderly time is the high incidence period of rogue thieves.

Many places in the city were already on fire, and some people set fire to looting, taking advantage of the chaos to loot things everywhere.

In the magistrate's yamen, two teams of yamen servants stood outside, not sure what the situation was.

Hu Yanzhuo had already brought people inside, and was giving out tasks to the soldiers in the hall.

One hundred thousand soldiers and horses who returned to the division rushed into the city ahead of the Liaoren, and immediately had people pull up all the suspension bridges of the nine gates of the capital.

Hu Yanzhuo didn't expect that Liang Zhongshu, Gao Qiu, Tong Guan and his party would escape separately first.

Such a big city, they threw it away as they said, without paying any attention to it.

There are still more than 10,000 soldiers and horses of the city defense battalion stationed in this city, and they are under the command of Li Cheng and Wen Da, the commanders of the city defense battalion.

Of these two people, one is a horse general and the other is an infantry general.

When Liang Zhongshu left, he only said that he was going to the capital to report on his duties and asked them to guard the city, but he didn't tell them what happened.

Now that Hu Yanzhuo suddenly brought the army back to the capital, both of them felt a little uncomfortable.

They are Liang Zhongshu's confidantes, and they are also local snakes in the capital.

Hu Yanzhuo is the coach of Yanmen Pass, he is not with them, and he has no friendship with them.

The two led the troops into the yamen, stood aside and waited for Hu Yanzhuo to arrange the military affairs, and asked Hu Yanzhuo with a straight face, "Old General, what do you mean? You don't keep it at the Yanmen Gate, come to this city What's going on here?"

"The Daming Mansion is under the jurisdiction of our brothers, why is it your Yanmenguan's turn to intervene?"

Li Cheng and Wen Da were not polite.

Hu Yanzhuo asked them in a deep voice, "You really don't know?"

The two looked at each other, and said to Hu Yanzhuo in a daze, "I don't know what the old general means."

Hu Yanzhuo let out a sigh of relief, "Your master, that Liang Zhongshu, Tong Guan, Gao Qi and his party, they betrayed Yanmen Pass and let the Beiliu people in. Now the Beiliao people are driving straight in, not far from the Daming Mansion. Hundreds of miles away."

"what?"

The two of them stared at each other for a moment, and said in amazement, "How is this possible?"

Hu Yanzhuo said coldly, "I ask you, where is Liang Zhongshu now?"

Li Chengdao, "Your Excellency went to the capital to report on his duties, and he just left at noon."

Hu Yanzhuo said, "Then where are his family members?"

Li Cheng reacted suddenly, with cold sweat breaking out on his head, and said, "The family members seem to have taken them away too."

Hu Yanzhuo said, "Have you ever seen an official who came to Beijing to report on his duties and took away all his family members?"

The two were dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

Hu Yanzhuo said solemnly, "If you have no problems, go down immediately and defend the city with your brothers. The army of Liaoren should launch an attack tomorrow. If this city is taken by Liaoren, your manor property, as well as your parents Relatives and friends, it will all be wiped out. If you are still obsessed with obsession, you will work together with Liang Zhongshu. In the future, if you make trouble in the court, be careful that your life will be lost, and you will be beheaded together with those thieves."

"Humble job, humble job!"

The two of them came here to make things difficult for Hu Yanzhuo, but now they hold back for a while.

Although they do not directly belong to Hu Yanzhuo, according to the military law, they still have to obey his orders.

When the situation is unclear, it is not easy to go to war for the time being, and we will only make plans after asking Liang Zhongshu clearly about the original situation.

If they are still on Liang Zhongshu's side now, they will be jointly and severally responsible for any changes in the future.

After they retreated, the leaders of the two groups of yamen outside immediately came up and licked their faces and complimented them, "Brothers, what did the old general inside say? What are they doing in Daming Mansion?"

Li Cheng scolded, "How can I tell you about the important military affairs. Take your people to guard the Daming Mansion well. Do you see how chaotic the city has become?"

Both of them coughed dryly, and clasped their fists in response.

After Li Cheng and Wen Da left, all the yamen servants came together and discussed, "Look at the situation, something really happened?"

"Could it be that the Bei Liao people really called?"

"What should we do? Our family members are all in the city! Should we go back to our hometown to avoid the limelight?"

"You are stupid, you are safe in the city, and if you run to the village, you won't be killed by the hunters?"

"You reminded me by saying that, then I have to get my family closer to the city!"

"..."

A group of people who thought they knew the inside story had uneasy expressions on their faces.

Both of them gave a lesson with dark faces, "What are you talking about here? Hasn't the sky not collapsed yet? Let Lao Tzu go to patrol the streets, and let the people at the border do all our work. What are you going to rely on for food in the future?"

A group of yamen servants kept their mouths shut and obediently followed them into the streets to inspect.

Li Cheng and Wen Da returned to their base of the city defense battalion, and were about to discuss the next step with their subordinates.

At this time, outside cronies reported that someone from Liang Zhongshu came to see the two of them.

The two stood up in surprise, and immediately sent someone to invite them.
