Chapter 23 Drafting the Bulletin

In the lobby of Puyang City Government Office, the little prince Wanyan Hong called the army under the tent to discuss matters in the front hall. Wanyan Xueer received the military order from her brother and hurriedly brought Liu Yixuan to the lobby.

"Brother, I have brought this scholar. Do you think the notice should be drafted?"

Wanyan Hong walked to Liu Yixuan and saw him carefully looking at him. He didn't know if the poor scholar in front of him was reliable.

"Little scholar, have you ever written official articles for the government before?"

Although Liu Yixuan has not been in the Northern Song Dynasty for a long time, he has read a lot of various notices at the city gate. Besides, he is originally a small scholar in the imperial guards, so what is difficult to write a list article?

"It's true that although Xiaosheng is a little talented and knowledgeable, he has a little knowledge of the official articles of our dynasty. Official articles are official articles! They emphasize being neither vulgar, not greasy, not partial, not painful or itchy. They must not only convey the intentions of the court and the government, but also take care of the understanding and cognition of the refugees in the city. Official articles can be long or short, simple or complex, and national affairs can be both a few words or thousands of words..."

"Stop!..." Wanyan Hong saw that he shook his head and said for a long time but couldn't understand a few words, so he quickly asked him to pause.

"I'm asking you if you can write an official article. Who asked you to memorize me here! Just answer "Yes" or "No", so how can you get so much nonsense!"

"Yes, yes! The villain can write official articles, but I don't know what the general wants to write?" When Liu Yixuan heard these Jin people ask him to write a notice for them, he must have some orders to convey to the people of the whole city. At this time, the people of Puyang did not know that the Song army was about to cross the river and head north. If they knew that the Song army was coming to recover Puyang, they would be very excited. Even if they did not take the initiative to cooperate with the army outside the city, they would definitely be willing to provide help to the Song army in secret.

"Very good. I just want you to tell the people of the whole city three things. The first thing is: the emperor of Song is incompetent and incompetent, and has long been afraid of being beaten by our Jin cavalry. Now Puyang is in the hands of our Jin people, and the emperor of Song has long ignored the people here. You should give up sooner!"

After hearing this from the side, Liu Yixuan also felt that it was a bit reasonable. The emperor of the Song Dynasty was indeed incompetent, otherwise he would not have left half of the country. However, it was not so easy to make the people willing to be slaves to the destruction of the country. Although the Song Dynasty was corrupt and the people were burdened with heavy burdens, how good could the Jin Dynasty be? It was blindly killed and plundered the occupied areas without any knowledge of mercy on the people, and sooner or later it would be the end of the destruction of the country.

Liu Yixuan naturally understood this in his heart, but at this moment he couldn't help himself. Since he was here to spy on military affairs, he could only pretend to surrender and surrender. It was important to save his life first.

"Okay, I've written it down, what about the second one?"

"Second... I would like to advise the people in the city to sincerely submit to our Dajin. Anyone who has made contributions to our Dajin will be rewarded. Those who dare to be enemies with our Dajin will be killed without any mercy!"

"With both kindness and power, it's really brilliant. What about the third one?"

"Third, according to detailed reports, it is said that if the spies of Song army have mixed into the city, these spies will definitely find a place to stay. Therefore, the whole city's taverns and inns are not allowed to receive tourists. Once suspicious people enter the city, they should take the initiative to report to the government, and the government will have a heavy reward. In addition to inns and taverns, the homes of the people in the city are not allowed to receive tourists. From the date of issuance, the four gates of Puyang City will be closed, and the whole city will be martial law, and no one is allowed to leave the city privately! That's all."

"The whole city is martial law? Why is the whole city legal? "When Liu Yixuan heard that the four gates were closed, how could he go out? Even if he gets information, he can't send it out of the city?

"Why do you ask so much? Just write as I say!" Wanyan Hong saw that he asked more questions, but he didn't plan to say more to him.

At this time, Wanyan Xueer, who was standing aside, didn't know what happened. She left the city this morning. Why did his brother order martial law in the whole city again?

"Brother, why did you close the four doors? Could it be that the Song army has already fought?" Wanyan Xueer said the question in her heart for Liu Yixuan.

"Oh!" Wanyan Hong sighed, "Brother Wei asked you to come here to discuss this matter. Several generals stationed in the Yellow River just now reported that a group of Song troops crossed the Yellow River last night and attacked the Yellow River camp. Most of the more than 2,000 troops stationed in the army were killed or injured. This Song army gathered on the north bank of the Yellow River and would soon come to Puyang!"

"What? How many people do they have dare to attack Puyang? Brother, we cannot sit and wait for death. My younger sister is willing to lead troops out of the city to meet the enemy and fight this group of Song troops back to the south bank!" When Wanyan Xueer heard that the Song army had crossed the Yellow River, she was already furious, with her eyebrows raised and her fists tightly clenched, intending to fight outside the city.

"No, little sister, now that my father is not in the city, you and I can't act irresponsibly! Besides, there are so many soldiers in the Song army, and we don't know whether to come to Puyang. If we leave the city rashly, if we lose, it will be difficult to protect the Puyang city. I think we will still close the four gates and stick to it. Let's make plans when we find out the enemy's situation!"

"This...then!" Wanyan Xueer felt that her brother's words made some sense. After all, he was his brother, so how could he not follow his orders?

The conversation between the brother and sister made Liu Yixuan hear it sincerely. He couldn't help but feel secretly happy when he heard that the Song army crossed the Yellow River.

"Okay, the veteran General Zongze is indeed very fast. I just smuggled the warship last night. He asked the army to cross the river this morning. It seems that the day to take Puyang City is not far away. Humph, Princess sister, look at my brother, I won't capture you alive!"

When Liu Yixuan heard Wanyan Hong's order to defend Puyang to the death, he began to worry again, "There are more than 20,000 Jin soldiers in Puyang City. If they really want to grit their teeth and defend, it will be no easy task for the Song army to break the city. If the attack is unfavorable, then the old prince of Wanyan will send troops to rescue his children. Wouldn't the Song army return empty-handed? No, you can't waste your time with them. You have to find a way to break the city quickly..."

"Hey, little white-faced, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and draft the list article as my brother said?" Wanyan Xueer saw Liu Yixuan dazed, and didn't know what he was thinking, so she quickly scolded him.

"Oh, OK, it's just that the villain doesn't know where the study is, and I don't know where to get some paper and pen!"
