Chapter 503 0500 [Li Erfeng has already given the answer]

Boom boom boom!
Intermittent shelling continued into the evening.

The Jin army defending the city and the people in the city were always tense, always on guard against the Qi army coming to kill them.

Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Xiyin are making intensive preparations for their retreat.

First, all the original Liao army generals among the generals were put under house arrest and replaced by Jurchens, and then they searched for money in the city.

Even if Datong Mansion cannot be defended, he will not leave anything to Han Zhen.

……

In the Qi army camp ten miles outside the city, Han Zhen received a memorial from Ma Kuo.

Gao Qingyi surrendered.

Seeing the smile on his lips, Xiao Wu asked curiously: "Your Majesty, is there good news from the south?"

Han Zhen replied: "It's not the southern war report, but Ma Kuo's persuasion to surrender Gao Qingyi."

Hearing this, Yelu Yujian looked a little unnatural.

Gao Qingyi was originally his general, but he was determined to follow the Jin Kingdom. On the night when he launched the raid, his leader blocked the way. The two had a long-standing grudge.

But now, Gao Qingyi surrendered to His Majesty, and the two of them would serve as officials in the same court, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Han Zhen asked: "What happened to King Jin?"

Yelu Yujian considered it and said: "Your Majesty, Gao Qingyi is a capricious person. After paying the money, he was very loyal to Wanyan Zonghan. A few days ago, he drew a sword at me and blocked the way, without thinking about the old friendship. I am worried. , Gao Qingyi is very likely to pretend to surrender and strike back at the critical moment. "

"It doesn't matter."

Han Zhen waved his hand and said with a smile: "Gao Qingyi handed in the certificate of surrender. There are more than a hundred Jurchen governors in the massacre army. Even if he pretends to surrender, Wanyan Zonghan cannot tolerate him."

In the Kingdom of Jin, Jurchens were first-class people.

The massacre of so many Jurchens will definitely arouse the anger of the Jin Kingdom's top brass, and no one can protect him.

"I see."

Yelu Yu's face showed surprise when he saw it.

Han Zhen didn't want Yelu Dashi to become big, and he also didn't want Yelu Yujian to become big. Gao Qingyi was a nail buried next to Yelu Yujian.

Although the possibility of Yelu Yujian's rebellion is very small, he has to be careful because people will eventually change.

Prepare for a rainy day.

Again, balance.

In the next two or three years, the North will be in chaos. A chaotic North is in Han Zhen's best interests.

But this kind of chaos cannot break away from Han Zhen's control.

Support Yelu Dashi to fight against the Jin people, support Yelu Yujian to balance Yelu Dashi, support Gaoqing people to balance Yelu Yujian, this whole set of strategies, from big to small, are interlocking.

As early as the early Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin completely demonstrated the art of border control to future generations.

Since the destruction of DTZ, foreign tribes such as the Western Turks, Tuyuhun, Xue Yantuo, Uighurs, and Ba Yegu have been played by Li Shimin, making them check and restrain each other, allowing you to be strong when you are strong, and weak when you are weak.

When the time is right, they will be wiped out in one fell swoop and included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

However, future generations are not up to par, and the answer is there and cannot be copied.

Now, Han Zhen picked up this answer and optimized the details based on it.

It can only be said that the legacy left by the Chinese ancestors is too much to be used up.

For anything, if you look through history books, you can find the corresponding situation, and the sages have already given the answer.

Since it is used to balance Yelu Yujian, the reward cannot be bad.

Han Zhen immediately wrote a handwritten letter, conferring Gao Qingyi as the commander-in-chief of the Xizhou Army, and sent it to Xinghe Town along with a box of seized gold, silver and jewelry.

After doing this, Qiu Niu quickly walked into the commander's tent: "Your Majesty, the secret agent in Datong Prefecture City has taken the risk to send a secret report."

"Send it up."

Han Zhen's eyes sharpened and he immediately ordered.

After reading it, Han Zhen raised his head, met the curious eyes of the generals, and slowly said: "Wanyan Zonghan is planning to abandon the city and flee. Now he is plundering the city for grain, grass and money."

Han Shizhong said without hesitation: "If Wanyan Zonghan wants to escape, he can only go through Guihua Prefecture and enter Zhongjing Road. Your Majesty can set up an ambush at Xiong'er Mountain and Sumu Mountain. In this way, no matter which road Wanyan Zonghan takes, he can be stopped."

He had seen the mountains and terrain of Datong Mansion countless times and it was completely imprinted in his mind.

Wei Da on the side frowned and said: "Wanyan Zonghan still has 80,000 troops under his command, I'm afraid he won't be able to stop him."

It is certainly impossible to send all the 100,000 Qi troops to ambush. After taking over Datong Mansion, at least 50,000 troops need to be left behind to ensure that Datong Mansion is not in chaos.

He Guan said in a deep voice: "Even if we can't stop him, we still have to take a few bites of meat. We can't let Wanyan Zonghan escape so easily."

Just when a group of generals were discussing how to ambush, they heard Han Zhen say: "There is no need to ambush, just let him go."

what?
Han Shizhong and others were stunned, thinking that they heard wrongly.

This was a God-given opportunity. Just as He Guan said, even if he couldn't stop it, Wanyan Zonghan would still pay a heavy price, losing 30,000 to 50,000 soldiers.

"I have my own reasons."

Han Zhen waved his hands and refused to say more.

After hearing this, Han Shizhong and others felt regretful, but they said no more.

Generals consider immediate gains and losses and stay at the tactical level. Han Zhen, on the other hand, took a longer-term view and embarked on a strategic layout for the next three to five years.

Han Zhen did not want to see a united Jin Kingdom. Only the three-party internal fighting would be a good Jin Kingdom.

Originally, among the three parties of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Zonghan was the most powerful and powerful.

Now after being beheaded by Han Zhen, his strength is similar to that of Wanyan Zongwang. If there is another ambush and Wanyan Zonghan suffers heavy losses, then Wanyan Zongwang will dominate the family.

Wanyan Zongwang was a man who was capable and prestigious, but his identity was the key.

The eldest son of Jin Taizu Aguda.

He is the next emperor of the Jin Kingdom, the most powerful competitor, bar none.

Once he succeeds in taking power, the Kingdom of Jin will be twisted into a rope.

Han Zhen had never underestimated the Kingdom of Jin. The Kingdom of Jin when Aguda was reincarnated was completely different from today.

Therefore, letting Wanyan Zonghan go back and letting him and Wanyan Zongwang continue to fight and continue internal friction. In the long run, the benefits will be countless times higher than that of an ambush.

…………

The next day.

The oracles and treasures were sent to the Liao army camp outside Xinghe town.

Ma Kuo came to Xinghe Town excitedly.

"His Majesty has issued a decree, and Gao Qingyi will accept it."

"I accept the decree."

Gao Qingyi looked solemn, knelt on one knee, folded his hands on his chest, and bowed his head slightly.

Behind him, Ah Ba and other generals and guards also knelt down.

Ma Kuo held the handwriting in his hand and read loudly: "I have been ordered by Haotian... to be the commander-in-chief of the Xizhou Army, who is from Gaoqing, and to be rewarded with two pairs of jade bis, twenty kilograms of gold, and silver..."

Are all the Western Route Army handsome?
Gao Qingyi was overjoyed and secretly thought that the Emperor of Qi was really grand.

"Thank you!"

Gao Qingyi took the order.

Ma Kuo waved his hand, and Zhang Dutou and others immediately carried a wooden box. After opening it, the attractive luster of gold and silver jewelry made Gao Qingyi and the generals behind him brighten their eyes.

To put it bluntly, being an official is just for fame, wealth and splendor.

A box of gold and silver treasures is more convincing than anything else.

Lifting him up, Ma Kuo chuckled and said, "Your Majesty has given you generous rewards. You really value General Gao. It's no big deal that he will be crowned king and prime minister in the future."

Gao Qingyi smiled broadly: "Haha, thank you so much for Ma Shangshu's kind words in front of His Majesty."

"Shuai Gao is so polite. From now on, when we serve as officials in the same dynasty, we should support each other."

"What Ma Shangshu said is to support each other."

After Gao Qingyi agreed, he invited: "Prepare a little wine, and I hope Ma Shangshu will give you a favor."

"It is better to obey orders than to be respectful!"

Ma Kuo smiled slightly.

The two of them entered the city talking and laughing and went straight to their residence.

After drinking and eating, Gao Qingyi asked: "I wonder if your majesty has any instructions?"

"Ah."

Ma Kuo nodded and said sternly: "Wanyan Zonghan is about to abandon the city and flee. His Majesty has an order to have Marshal Gaodu persuade Xiao Qing to surrender, and then the troops will be united to capture Fengzhou and Yunnei Prefecture as soon as possible."

Fengzhou and Yunnei Prefecture are prosperous places in the northwest, and the famous Hetao is located within the two states.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "the Yellow River is full of evils, but only rich in one thing".

This area is rich in water and grass and fertile land, making it a natural horse breeding land.

As long as the Hetao is captured, Qi will have no shortage of war horses from now on.

As for agreeing to transfer Yunnei Prefecture to Xixia, at this time, Xixia still dares to do so?
After this battle, Xixia would have to keep its tail between its legs, so how could it dare to mention the matter of the three states.

Gao Qingyi pondered and said: "To be honest with Ma Shangshu, I am not sure about persuading Xiao Qing to surrender."

Ma Kuo said: "I don't understand the matter of marching and fighting. Marshal Gao Du decides on his own, as long as it doesn't delay His Majesty's grand plan."

Hearing this, Gao Qingyi immediately understood the meaning of his words.

If you can persuade them to surrender, then persuade them to surrender. If you can't persuade them to surrender, then just kill them!
Thinking of this, Gao Qingyi said seriously: "Please also ask Ma Shangshu to tell your majesty that the final general will definitely fulfill his mission and repay your kindness!"

Now that they have just surrendered to Qi, they must show their worth, otherwise the commander-in-chief of the Xizhou Army will be doomed.

Ma Kuo chuckled: "I would like to wish Commander Gaodu a successful start!"

After sending Ma Kuo away, Gao Qingyi summoned his generals and bodyguards.

Take out half of the gold and silver treasures from the wooden box and give them to them.

Holding cold gold ingots, silver ingots and jewelry, Ah Ba and others looked happy.

Taking into account everyone's reactions, Gao Qingyi said loudly: "You are all my confidants, and I will never treat you badly. I will share my blessings and share my hardships in the future."

"You are both handsome and benevolent!"

Everyone shouted in unison.

He pressed his hands together, and after all the generals and guards calmed down, he said, "Your Majesty wants me to persuade Xiao Qing to surrender. What do you think?"

Ah Ba was the first to speak: "Xiao Qing is completely devoted to Wanyan Zonghan, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

"Yes."

The others nodded in agreement.

They had all been Yelu Yujian's generals and had known each other for many years. They knew very well what kind of person Xiao Qing was.

Ah Ba continued: "However, Gao Foliu can be fought for. Although he is under Xiao Qing's command now, he has a close relationship with Du Shuai."

Gao Qingyi thought for a moment and then said: "I have a plan, but it's a bit dangerous. Who wants to go?"

As soon as he finished speaking, seven or eight generals stood up.

What's the danger?

Everyone present was a soldier, and none of them had their heads pinned to their belts.

As the saying goes, wealth can be found in danger. Now that Gao Qingyi has been promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Xizhou Army, the positions of left and right deputy generals are also vacant. If we don't fight for it now, when will we wait?
After looking around, Gao Qingyi finally set his sights on Ah Ba and ordered: "Let Ah Ba handle this matter."

Hearing this, the rest of the team will look disappointed.

"Just wait and go down first."

After sending them away, Gao Qingyi lowered his voice and said: "You led more than a hundred people to Xuande, pretended to ask for help, and secretly persuaded Gao Foliu to surrender and capture Xiao Qing."

Ah Ba asked: "Does Du Shuai want to die, or does he want to live?"

"What do you think?"

Gao Qingyi did not answer the question.

Ah Ba suddenly became excited and said quickly: "I understand, I understand!"
