Fenghou

Chapter 749 Fishing Bait
The reason why Wang Hao didn't report to Chen Qing with the eagle letter, but rode back to Jingzhao was to leave some time for Yang Ye and Zhong Huan to see if they could catch Zhou Jin.

As expected, Yang and Ye lived up to Wang Hao's high expectations, and caught Zhou Jin before Wang Hao arrived in Jingzhao. As soon as Wang Hao arrived in Jingzhao, he received an eagle letter from Fushi County ahead of him.

Wang Hao then went to the Xuanfu envoy's office to report to Chen Qing the details before and after the kerosene robbery.

"Qijun Wang, when we attacked Shanzhou at the beginning of the year, Zhou Jinyuan's wife and brother who were doing business in Taiyuan found him, and persuaded Zhou Jin with a price of [-] silver. The planner behind it was Wanyan Nianhan, He first gave Zhou Jin [-] taels of silver, and promised to give another [-] taels of silver. Zhou Jin disclosed to his wife and brother ten days in advance the travel time of the fleet and the amount of kerosene. ferry.

The day before the boat accident, he asked for leave to return home on the grounds of his father's death, and hired the boatman Liu Er to wait by the small river. After the accident, he killed Liu Er and hid in Lepan Town. He wanted to see the investigation to decide whether to return home. "

"All his only weakness is this boatman Liu Er?" Chen Qing asked.

"Exactly! He gave the boatman Liu Er twenty-five silver coins as a reward, revealing his identity. He was very worried that we would find out the money, so he bribed the shopkeeper Zhao Jiulang to look for the silver at Liu Er's house, but we caught him , followed the clues and caught Zhou Jin."

"Are you sure that Zhou Jin has no accomplices in the army?"

"The result of the interrogation was that there were no accomplices. This Zhou Jin was very careful, and no second person knew, otherwise he would not kill the boatman Liu Er to silence him, and he would not let a peddler help him find money. He could completely let his accomplices do it. .”

Chen Qing nodded, this person is gaining benefits by selling information, not an information point, he belongs to a lone wolf, Wanyan Nianhan will definitely look for him after getting the benefits, Chen Qing walked a few steps with his hands behind his back and said: "No matter how hard you work After a trip, I immediately returned to Yanzhou and told Zhou Jin that if he was willing to cooperate with the internal guards, I would spare his death and send his family to Sichuan to work in the fields. It will be conducted in top secrecy."

"Humble job understands!"

Wang Hao didn't even drink a sip of water, and set off immediately, returning to Yanzhou.

Guan Shigu said to Chen Qing: "Wanyan Nianhan is very suspicious, I'm afraid it's not easy to deceive him."

Chen Qing said indifferently: "As I said before, the key is to look at the internal struggles of the Kingdom of Jin. If Wanyan Nianhan is willing to give up Hebei and hand over the Hezha Meng'an Army, then the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin may deal with Wanyan first. Chang, remove Wanyan Chang's prime minister, let Wanyan Nianhan swallow Hedong, and then drive Wanyan Nianhan to deal with us.

But if Wanyan Nianhan is too ambitious and refuses to cede Hebei or the Hezha Meng'an army, then the King of Jin will definitely join hands with Wanyan Chang to deal with Wanyan Nianhan. It was difficult for Yan Nianhan to gain a foothold in Hedong.

At this time, Wanyan Nianhan had only two choices, either retreat to Hebei Road or enter Shaanxi Road. At this time, he found that there were not many troops stationed in Yanzhou, and he could take advantage of the opportunity. Then, would he take advantage of the bait in Fushi County? swallow it? "

Guan Shigu gave a thumbs up, "The king of the county is the one who knows himself and the enemy, and he will win every battle!"

Chen Qing expected that Wanyan Nianhan was not willing to hand over the Hezha Meng'an army, nor did he want to give up Hebei. The Wanhe Zhameng'an army was stationed in Daming Mansion, and the appointment of officials and taxes and food in the whole of Hebei were collected in Daming Mansion.

He has managed Hebei for ten years and wiped out hundreds of rebel armies, big and small. How could he be willing to hand over the sphere of influence he had painstakingly managed?
Jurchen established a country with force, Wanyan Nianhan knew very well, what does it mean to hand over the army?
Of course, Wanyan Nianhan didn't want to fight against the emperor. When he was negotiating with the emperor in Beijing, the emperor Wanyan Quan suggested a way for him. If he could destroy Chen Qing, he would be named the king of Sichuan and Shaanxi. It coincided with the advice given to him by Wanyan Wushu, to seize Sichuan and Shaanxi and build his own foundation.

If he could get Sichuan and Shaanxi as his foundation, Wanyan Nianhan could of course give up Hebei, hand over the Hezha Meng'an army, reconcile with the imperial court, and at the same time get his own territory, which is a happy thing for everyone.

But obviously, his idea of ​​sitting in Hedong and fighting Chen Qing is unrealistic. Hedong is Wanyanchang's territory, how can he be allowed to occupy Nestlé?
What's more, the main general who sits in Hedong is Wanyan Yinshuke, and he is also a veteran who has made great achievements in battle. He was the one who attacked Hedong back then. He and his brother Wanyan Balishu were sitting in Hedong. Fifty thousand Jurchen troops.

He couldn't even command the Han Chinese Xie Congjun. The [-] Han Chinese Xie Congjun was stationed in the south of Hedong Road.

Wanyan Nianhan ordered Han Chang, the leader of the Han Chinese Association Congjun Army, to come to see him several times. Han Chang declined on the grounds that the road was blocked and he could not go north. Wanyan Nianhan really had no choice. At present, his [-] troops can only be stationed in Luliang Mountain Pingyang Mansion to the west controls Pingyang Mansion, Shizhou, Jizhou and Cizhou.

If he hadn't plundered the Song army's [-] barrels of kerosene and exchanged some of Xiang Wanyan's Yinshu for sheep, I'm afraid his army wouldn't even be able to eat meat.

At the beginning of April, Wan Yanchang arrived in Taiyuan Mansion under the escort of three thousand Jurchen cavalry.

The head of the Wanfu, Wanyan Yuying and Wanyan Huonu both greeted Wanyanchang outside the city. Wanyan Guoying is the son of Wanyan Yinshuke and a famous general in the Kingdom of Jin. His Jurchen name is the same as Wanyanchang. Similarly, it is also called Tarlan. In order to avoid misunderstandings, everyone calls him the Chinese name Wanyan Yuying.

"Is your father still unable to land?" Wan Yanchang asked with concern.

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, after my father came back from Shaanxi, he felt numb from the waist down."

Wan Yanchang patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "It doesn't matter, although your father is slightly disabled, he is much stronger than some people with long legs."

Some people with long legs alluded to Wanyan Nianhan, who actually ran from Hebei to Hedong, and wanted to seize his own territory, it was wishful thinking.

He sighed to Wanyan Huonu again: "After waiting for so many years, why are you bothering?"

At the beginning, the Hezha Meng'an army was divided into three parts, and part of it was originally in the hands of Wanyan Loushi. Wanyan Loushi was killed by Chen Qing in Jingzhao. Thousands of households, but Wanyan Huo Nu wanted to avenge her father, and she refused to return to Beijing, so that the Hezha Meng'an Army of Wanyan Loushi was captured by the emperor Wanyan Cheng, and Wan Yan Huo Nu was renamed Taiyuan There are thousands of households in Fulu, canonized as the king of Guangping County.

In fact, this is also the place where Wanyan is not smart. She insists on avenging her father and brother, and finally loses all the inheritance left to him by her father. Sir, this is his own credit.

Wanyan Huonu shook her head, "If I can't avenge my father, what face do I have to live in this world?"

"Okay! Let's go back to the Marshal's Mansion first!"

When he came to the Marshal's Mansion, Wan Yanchang saw Wanyan Yinshuke who was paralyzed. Seeing that he was really haggard, he comforted him and asked, "Where is Pulling Speed? Why don't you see him?"

"He went to Datong Mansion to receive the Xixia Iron Harrier Army."

Wanyan Yinshu chuckled and said: "Now Xixia is completely finished."

Wan Yanchang sneered, "They want money but no money, food but no food, how can they maintain the army? Last month, Brother Li Cha took the prince and [-] Xixia troops to Shangjing to meet the emperor in an attempt to gain support, but the court couldn't If you waste resources on Xixia again, it is impossible for Brother Li Cha and the prince of Xixia to come back again. The [-] Xixia army will be reorganized into the emperor's guard army. I can say that the emperor agreed to hand over the [-] iron kite army to you. You have to use it good them."

Wanyan Yinshu nodded, and asked again: "What did Nianhan say?"

Wan Yanchang said indifferently: "What else can he say? You can only blame him for breaking his promise and not following the consensus reached with the emperor. The emperor has not allowed him to return to Hebei."

"But the [-] troops in his hands may not be Chen Qing's opponent?" Wanyan Yinshu asked a little worried.

Wan Yanchang shook his head, "That's our perception, but he doesn't think so!"

After a pause, Wan Yanchang sneered again: "Whether he kills Chen Qing or Chen Qing kills him, the Son of Heaven is happy to see the success."
