Chapter 1112 Changping County Lord 60
The snow started to fall from a small snow, and everyone was relieved that the day was finally not hot.But soon I couldn't be happy anymore, the snow kept falling.

Originally, the snow melted quickly, but it couldn't stand the continuous falling.Soon the water also turned to ice, and snow began to accumulate.Three days later, when I got up and opened the window, I saw that the whole world was a vast expanse of whiteness.

The clothes on this body are also like the snow, getting thicker and thicker.Ordinary people, if there are not enough cotton clothes at home, the whole family hides in the bed, covered with quilts, and there are almost no pedestrians on the road.

Si Tianjian's diary: "Heavy snow. The ground is three feet thick, many cattle, sheep and livestock froze to death, and the road left dead bodies."

There was a charcoal fire in the house, and Xining stood in front of the map, listening to the news from everywhere.

It snowed for half a month, and many cattle and sheep froze to death in the Xiongnu's place. It is said that they were scattered all over the ground.Those who hadn't frozen to death gathered together, shivering in the heavy snow.Standing and standing, he fell down with a "plop" and froze to death.

Housekeeper Xiao beamed with joy: "The county lord has really good eyesight. This year, the cotton has not been able to be made into cotton-padded clothes and cotton shoes. Now the stock in the warehouse has increased by at least [-]% compared to before, and the charcoal fire has doubled, and it is still going on. rise."

The corner of Xining's mouth twitched: "Leave it alone, don't move it." There are other cotton-padded quilts in the city, which should be able to meet the daily needs of the people.

Steward Xiao immediately followed suit and said, "Of course, the price will go up even if it snows for a few more days."

At this time, the concierge came to pass, saying that it was the county magistrate Zhou who asked to see him.

After Xining agreed, he asked Steward Xiao to step down.

County Magistrate Zhou hurried over with his master, with a nervous expression on his face: "County Master, something is wrong, the Huns are calling!"

"What's so strange, the Huns seem to call here every now and then." Xining sat back in her original seat, and Jing'er next to her immediately covered her with a thick quilt, and filled a bag with hot water and wrapped it in a bag. Tang Pozi, who had wrapped a thick cloth, handed it to her.

The sheepskin cloak worn by County Magistrate Zhou was covered with unmelted snowflakes, and now the snowflakes outside were as big as goose feathers and dense as rain.

He couldn't help but go to the charcoal basin, knelt there and stretched out his hands to bake with the heat: "This time it was a real fight. The Huns were hit by a snowstorm, and countless cattle and sheep were killed and injured. The Great Khan led the ministries and divided the troops into three groups. Attack Yanmen, Ningwu, and Linguan. Linguan is defending hard, and it seems that it will fall soon. How can this be good?"

"What should I do? My lord, just pack up your things and run away." Xi Ning clutched Mrs. Tang, leaning against her very lazily.

"Hey~" County Magistrate Zhou felt something was wrong after responding, and asked after thinking about it: "Then the county magistrate will go together?"

Xining smiled: "Without the emperor's order, no princes, kings, county owners and township owners are allowed to leave the fief. This is the rule set by Emperor Gaozong. Where do you think I can go?"

If you leave the fief without authorization, you will be suspected of treason.In the worst case, they will be degraded and punished with salary; in severe cases, their homes will be confiscated and they will become common people, and even worse, they will beheaded the barbarians directly.That's why the body owner was thrown here. The Huns beat him and couldn't leave.If you dare to leave, it means that your life is in the hands of King Han.Life and death are a matter of Han Wang's words!
When Magistrate Zhou heard this, he straightened his back and said, "Then the lower officials can't leave either!"

Xi Ning smiled without saying a word, and loved to walk away.

She stood up slowly, walked to the map, and looked at the locations of Yanmen, Ningwu, and Linguan.

The master knelt on the ground and analyzed: "The capital city of Yanmen has the largest garrison recently, Ningwu is next, and Linguan is the weakest but the farthest. If nothing unexpected happens, attacking Linguan is just to disperse the troops. If we can hit here , It’s just a grab for some property.”

Xi Ning asked leisurely, "That means that the gates of the city should be opened, so that they can go ahead and rob. If they have enough, they will leave naturally, right?"

The master bite the bullet: "The county magistrate may be unhappy after hearing this, but this is exactly what happened."

Not fast, of course, very fast.Xining said slowly: "Forget it, when the Xiongnu came, they opened the city gates and let them come to the Zhou mansion and my county magistrate's mansion. I don't know how many maids are in the Zhou magistrate's mansion. I heard that these barbarians snatched women back as slaves. Playing with cruelty and killing wantonly, they can be bought and sold like cattle and sheep.”

Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Zhou immediately expressed his opinion: "I am willing to live and die with Linyi County together with the county magistrate."

"Don't live and die together!" Xi Ning said flatly, "Magistrate Zhou hurriedly took his family and left now, maybe it might be too late. The Huns have always dispatched troops very quickly, and they may not be able to leave if it is too late."

County Magistrate Zhou was taken aback for a moment, then saluted and said goodbye.

As soon as County Magistrate Zhou and Master left, Jing'er couldn't help asking: "Is the county magistrate letting them go like this?"

A dead soldier flashed in, cupped his fists and saluted: "Linguan has fallen, and the remaining troops are retreating to Linyi County."

Xining turned to look at the map, as if sighing: "Lingguan is only seventy miles away, and you can get there in one or two hours. If County Magistrate Zhou still wants to pack up and salute, he won't be able to leave!"

"Don't take it, the Huns are coming soon, what's the use of those things?" County Magistrate Zhou was so anxious that he was sweating, the horses and chariots had already been harnessed, but these women were still saluting.

"It cost a lot of money to buy this!" Mrs. Zhou kicked the Shu brocade satin and various jewelry she bought from the county owner's shop into her arms.

"Oops~" County Magistrate Zhou couldn't speed up their speed even though he was jumping on both feet in a hurry.

"Master, it's not good!" The servant ran in to report: "The pass was lost, and the remaining defenders escaped. Once you enter the city, close the city gate, and no one is allowed to enter or leave."

"What?" Magistrate Zhou's eyes were tearing apart.

"Can't you leave?" Mrs. Zhou's face changed with fright.

"Yes, I can't go away, I can't go away." County Magistrate Zhou sat down in a daze.

Mrs. Zhou let go of her hand, and the Shu brocade in her arms fell to the ground. She sat down beside the county magistrate, shaking his arm, and cried, "Master, you should quickly think of a way. What should I do?" ..."

"Okay!" County Magistrate Zhou shook his arm angrily: "The general will not accept the orders of the foreign emperor. Whoever has soldiers in his hands now has the final say! Just now I told you to go quickly, and I insisted on cleaning up. Now it's all right , can’t go away.”

After the city gate was closed, the Xiongnu chased them outside the gate, and after a few clamors, they stationed five miles outside the city.

People in the city are panicking, and Xining is even more pessimistic.At that time, the city gate was closed tightly, but it was closed for one night.The next day the defenders were defeated without a fight, opened the city gates and surrendered.

The Xiongnu broke the contract and rushed into the city to burn, kill and rape everywhere.In the chaos, the head of the body had no choice but to commit suicide by hanging himself in order to maintain his last dignity as the head of the county.

So she wanted to visit the general in charge of the defense to see what was going on.

The ranks of the Han army are divided into six ranks, with nearly a hundred titles, and all kinds of generals are dazzled.

The location of Linguan is remote and far away from the capital, so the geographical location is not important. There is only a fifth-rank Ningyuan general, General Zhang, guarding it.

There were originally 5000 defenders, but more than 500 people died, and more than 4000 people fled into the city.

After asking about the general situation, Xining asked someone to bring ten sheep and two carts of grain about [-] catties, and went to "comfort the army" with her.

Before going out, Xining was stopped.
