Fenghou

Chapter 750 Exchange
Immediately Wanyan Chang came to Pingyang Mansion again and met Wanyan Nianhan. He came to Hedong this time on behalf of the emperor, just to give Wanyan Nianhan one last chance.

"what!"

Wanyan stood up stubbornly, "Let me go back to the court to serve as Shangshuling, but not give me the position of prime minister, and still be under Zongpan and Zonggan, isn't that just letting me retire?"

Wan Yanchang laughed dryly and said: "You and I have been in the army for decades, and now we are old, so it's time to go back and take care of our old age, isn't it good?"

"What if I don't accept it?"

Wan Yanchang's eyes suddenly became fierce, and he said coldly: "Since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, I have never heard of anyone who dared to violate the wolf lord's golden wolf head order."

Wanyan Nianhan was a little discouraged immediately, and said again: "I can go back to Shangjing, and the Hezhameng'an army can also be handed over, but I have a condition, I will hand over the army to my son Xiebao, and let him continue to sit in Hebei .”

If Wanyan Nianhan proposed this retirement condition when he was in Hebei, perhaps the emperor would agree, but now that Wanyan Nianhan is trapped in Pingyang Mansion, and Wanyan Chang has come to Taiyuan, the emperor of course cannot agree again. It is already good for him to return to Beijing for retirement.

Wan Yanchang said indifferently: "Xiabao has meritorious deeds, the emperor decided to make him the head of ten thousand, and sent him to attack Yangzhou. In the future, he will stay in Jianghuai to develop. It is not bad to be the king of Yangzhou."

The implication is that it is no longer possible for the emperor to let his son sit in Hebei, and even the military power is restricted to death. As the commander of ten thousand, he can only lead ten thousand troops, and he will not be given the title of marshal.

Wanyan Nianhan immediately understood that the emperor had no intention of allowing him to keep Hebei from the very beginning, so he was allowed to enter Hedong. He is determined to deprive him of his military power.

Wanyan Nianhan bowed his head for a while and said: "The Son of Heaven also made an appointment with me, if I destroy Chen Qing, I will be crowned King of Sichuan and Shaanxi!"

Wan Yanchang walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and said to Nianhan: "If you are willing to attack Chen Qing, I will support you with [-] shi of grain and [-] elite troops."

Wanyan Nianhan was stunned, and said sarcastically: "It seems that the prime minister also hopes to use Chen Qing's hand to kill me!"

Wan Yanchang shook his head, "If I had this idea, I wouldn't give you food. On the contrary, I hope you defeat Chen Qing. If you die, it will be my turn next. Nianhan, I don't want to retire either. Pension!"

Wanyan Nianhan nodded, "I understand. In order to thank the Prime Minister for his support, I will also give you a favor. I will give you a letter and you will give it to my son Xiebao. He will tie [-] to the Mengan Army As well as handing over the power of Hebei Road to Xiangguo, you should let three thousand personal guards come to Pingyang Mansion!"

Wan Yanchang narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I will definitely do it!"

Wanyanchang knew well that there must be Wanyan Nianhan's family hidden among the three thousand personal guards led by Wanyan Xiebao, and this was the exchange between Wanyan Nianhan and him.

Wan Yanchang took Wanyan Nianhan's letter and left. According to the agreement, he will instruct Wanyan Yinshu to hand over [-] elite assisted troops to Wanyan Nianhan, and at the same time, he is ready to support Wanyan Nianhan with [-] shi at any time. food.

As soon as Wanyanchang left, Wanyan Nianhan immediately ordered someone to find Zhang Xiaode. Zhang Xiaode was Zhou Jin's brother-in-law. Transit officer under Nianhan's tent, this is a fat job that everyone envies!
Not long after, Zhang Xiaode hurried over, saluted and said: "See you, Commander!"

Wanyan Nianhan smiled and said to him: "Go to Yanzhou again and find your brother-in-law. I want to know about the garrison and city defense in Fushi County."

A few days ago, Zhang Xiaode just went to Fushi County and saw that his brother-in-law was safe and sound, but the county magistrate and county lieutenant were dismissed, and the magistrate was demoted and transferred away. On the government, this made Wanyan Nianhan value Zhou Jin even more, indicating that this person still has some skills, and he did not leak, so he was not suspected by the inner guards.

"Humble job, let's go to Fushi County!"

Zhang Xiaode was unambiguous, and set off in a hurry after receiving the task.

Three days later, a caravan composed of dozens of mules arrived in Fushi County. Apart from the shopkeeper Zhang Xiaode, there were five fellows. These five fellows were not Zhang Xiaode's people, but Han people under Wanyan Nianhan's command. intelligence spies.

At the beginning, Wanyan Nianhan recruited a large number of Han Chinese as spies to exterminate the rebels in Hebei, and mixed into the ranks of the rebels, causing huge losses to the rebels.

These five guys are the five Han Chinese spies left behind at the beginning. They are all high-ranking military officers. people pay attention.

Shanxi Road was exempt from commercial tax, and the caravan entered the city without any trouble and stayed in an inn.

Zhang Xiaode smiled to several 'old buddies': "You guys have a good rest, I'll go find Zhou Jin."

The leader of the spy is Jiang Ying, who is currently serving as the commander, equivalent to the position of commander in chief. He stood up and said, "I'll go with you!"

The two came to the gate of the barracks and asked the sentry to report for them. Seeing that there were not many large tents in the barracks, Jiang Ying asked strangely, "How many barracks are there in the city?"

"As far as I know, this is the barracks."

"Impossible! This barracks can accommodate [-] people? At most [-] people."

Zhang Xiaode scratched his head, "I don't know too well, I'll ask later."

After a while, Zhou Jin came out, and he looked at his wife and brother with a complicated expression. He was notified by the inner guard yesterday that his wife and brother might come over in the next two days, so he asked him to cooperate fully.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaode really came, and he was completely under the control of the inner guard. Of course, it was not the inner guard, but under the control of Chen Qing, which shows how terrifying Chen Qing is.

But Zhou Jin has no choice now, his father, wife and two sons are all controlled by the inner guard, and his own life is also in the hands of the inner guard, so he dare not disobey the arrangement of the inner guard.

"Brother, this is." Zhou Jin glanced at Jiang Ying.

"This is my employer."

Jiang Ying cupped her hands and said, "Jiang Ying is in the Daming Mansion."

Needless to say, this person must be Jin Bing's intelligence agent, Zhou Jin hurriedly bowed and said, "Long-awaited! Long-awaited!"

Zhang Xiaode whispered: "Brother, this is not a place to talk, let's change to another place!"

"You come with me!"

Zhou Jin took the two of them to a tavern a few hundred steps away, sat down in the back room, and ordered some food and drink.

Jiang Ying asked: "I think the military camp is very small, can it accommodate [-] troops?"

"The barracks used to be huge, but recently a lot of tents have been demolished."

"why?"

"I found a large coal field in Wan'an Village, which can be mined in the open pit, and the quality is quite high. Unfortunately, there was no manpower there, so the army was transferred there."

"Where is Wan'an Village?"

"At the junction of Baozhou and Yanzhou, close to Luoshui, about [-] miles away from Fushi County."

"How many people were transferred?"

"Five thousand people will be mobilized for a month first. After the mines, docks and briquette workshops are built, people will be recruited from the Lingzhou government to take over, and the army will withdraw."

"There are only five thousand people in the city now?"

Zhou Jin shook his head, "Where are there five thousand people, there are only three thousand."

"Didn't you say there were [-] garrisons?"

Zhou Jin laughed, "It seems that Jiang Dongzhu has never been in the army. The number of people in the Song Army's garrison actually has two meanings. One is the number of garrison places, and the other is the actual number of garrisons. We say that the garrison in Fushi County is one Ten thousand, actually refers to the number of garrisons, the actual number of garrisons is the real number of garrisons, it will definitely be less than the number of garrisons, and there will be a little room, for example, our actual garrison is [-] people."

Jiang Ying can fully understand, isn't it the same for Hebei rebels?The team is said to be hundreds of thousands, but in fact there are only tens of thousands of people, and there is a lot of water. Fushi County claims to have a garrison of [-] people, but the actual number is [-], which is actually quite good.

"I have four subordinates. Can General Zhou arrange for us to enter the barracks? Instead of all entering, arrange for four of us."

Zhou Jin pondered for a while and said, "Arrange up to three people!"

"Three people are enough."

Jiang Ying and the others have to personally participate in the defense of the city, so that the inside and outside can cooperate to seize the city wall.
