Yi Song

Chapter 316 I, Zhao Gou, am back!

Standing on the hills outside Chenqiao Town, looking at Bianjing in the dusk in the distance, Zhao Gou trembled with excitement.

I am back!

I, Zhao Gou, am back!

I will no longer step into Bianjing as a timid and cautious prince. I will step into this city that I love and hate as a new official of the Song Dynasty.

From now on, I no longer have to work hard to please everyone. It’s everyone’s turn to please themselves!

Haha!

Qin Hui and Wang Boyan stood behind him, looking at Bianjing City in the distance with flickering eyes. His eyes were full of surprise, pride, boasting, and arrogance, all kinds of different things.

I finally got through it!

In the face of such great changes, if a man doesn't take advantage of the situation and seize power, how long will it take?

He led his troops from Puzhou to the rear of Weicheng, and boldly made a tentative attack. As a result, when the Song army in reserve at Weicheng in Huazhou heard the Liao people coming to kill them, the sky and the earth suddenly collapsed and they went crazy. Fleeing south, Du Chong and Liang Fangping, who were drinking, took off the singer's clothes, disguised themselves as women, mixed in with the crowd, and escaped from Wei City.

The remaining more than 40,000 troops were hoarded on the line from Huazhou to Weicheng. The coach Du Chong and the military supervisor Liang Fangping were in Weicheng, drinking and having fun every day.

Some took advantage of the freezing weather and fled across the ice to the north bank.

Bianjing City closed its gates tightly, and the city was shocked.

Others laughed, including Qin Hui and Wang Boyan.

On the road of two to three hundred miles, hundreds of thousands of Song troops ran everywhere, and soldiers, flags, and food were scattered all over the mountains and plains.

The main force of the Song army, which was stationed on the south bank of the Yellow River, knew that the Liao people were coming to kill them. The reserve army behind them was defeated, and the commander fled. No one attacked them, and they were all in chaos.

Set up defenses along the Yellow River. Who are you guarding against? Daming City is located south of the Yellow River, and our soldiers and horses also advanced along the south bank of the Yellow River.

Shouldn't you garrison Puyang and Puzhou, rely on these two strong cities, and then deploy defenses along the old path of the Yellow River?
This move of yours will be impossible for us to deal with directly.

Haha, the ups and downs of life are so exciting! "

Even Wanyan Wu Qimai, who had fought against the Liao army many times and had seen many ridiculous formations and defenses by the Liao nobles, was shocked and thought there was some conspiracy.

Zhao Gou and others were stunned when they learned of the spying report.

Even Zhao Gou, who had always "emphasized military discipline", was now in a good mood and laughed it off, instead of killing the sergeant and his comrades on the charge of "whistling the barracks" as usual.

Wanyan Wu Qimai and others were dumbfounded and sighed in their hearts, the Liao Kingdom, the Song Kingdom, Emperor Tianzuo and the officials of the Song Kingdom were really the crouching dragons and phoenixes of the world!
Fengtian's rebel army soon stationed under Bianjing City, and Zhao Gou's camp was stationed in Chenqiao Town. Wanyanwu begged to buy, Wanyan Nianhan and Wanyan Yinwushu led the light cavalry to harass and loot Chenliu and others outside Bianjing City. Zhongmu and other counties.

Zhao Gou's troops left Daming City and slowly moved south along the Yellow River to Jiuzhou Town, Qingfeng County. The spies discovered that one hundred thousand officers and soldiers were lined up along the south bank of the Yellow River from Xiaowuxi in Puyang to Baimajin in Huazhou.

Someone in the guard army in the distance shouted: "Haha, I'm back again! I spent one hundred and sixty coins to buy a place in the Guards Department's Imperial Army. I made a fortune, almost lost my life, and came back here after a narrow escape. , we are about to enjoy this overwhelming wealth!

Huazhou's victory came too easily and was so unexpected.

Some fled to Zhengzhou in the west along the Yellow River, some fled to Bianjing with the reserve team, and some actually fled to Jingdong Road in the east.

However, after Wanyan Nianhan and Wanyan Yinwushu led the cavalry around Bianjing City, they came back very depressed.

In their eyes, Bianjing City is even more majestic and taller than Yanjing City. It is simply a turtle shell made of steel and iron, and there is no way to start.

As a last resort, Zhao Gou, Qin Hui, Wang Boyan, Liu Yu, Wan Qixi, Li Ye, Wang Shiyong, Wanyan Wu Qimai, Wanyan Youlun, Wanyan Nianhan and Wanyan Yanmu discussed matters in the big tent. "We must break through Bianjing City as soon as possible, otherwise it will not be a good thing if King Qin's troops from all directions gather, especially Liu Erlang's Western Army and Hedong Army." Liu Yu said a little anxiously.

Although the current situation was very good, which showed that he had a good vision and his speculation was successful, he felt guilty because he did not open the cup and the outcome of the gamble was not completely determined.

"Although Liu Erlang's few soldiers and horses that are not worthy of the name are not enough to cause trouble. But the nights are long and there are many dreams, so we must attack the city as soon as possible and ask Empress Zheng to issue an edict to inform the world. All civil and military officials will come forward to support King Kang on the throne. The honor and righteousness are certain, and important events will happen. It’s settled.”

Wang Boyan said.

Wanyan Wu Qimai and Wanyan Nianhan looked at each other and said, let them mess with the southerners' broken rules. However, when Wanyan Wu Qimai saw Wanyan Onan, something was wrong with his expression.

Maybe he was worried about Wanyan Jinwushu, his second brother's only flesh and blood, who was still being held hostage in Yanjing.

Now that Wanyan's department is like this, even if he has different intentions, he has nowhere to go and just make do with it.

Zhao Gou nodded repeatedly and turned his eyes to Qin Hui, whom he now trusted very much.

As for Wanyan's allies, you'd better stay away from such troublesome things and just be a gold-medal thug.

"Mr. Huizhi, do you have any good ideas to solve the current predicament?"

Qin Hui squinted his eyes slightly and put on an enigmatic look. When Zhao Gou asked, he said surprisingly, "Negotiate peace!"

"Negotiation?" Everyone was shocked.

We have all reached the gates of Bianjing City, and we are just one step away from the wealth and wealth that can be poured out from the sky. Please tell me to make peace. Are you out of your mind, or is there too much earwax in my ears?

Wanyan Wu Qingmai and Wanyan Youlun's eyes flashed and they realized something, but they didn't say a word.

Zhao Gou frowned and asked, "Mr. Huizhi, are you saying that I took the initiative to negotiate peace with the eldest brother in Bianjing City?"

"Yes!" Qin Hui said decisively.

"What happens after the peace negotiation?" Zhao Gou continued to ask, but the trust in Qin Hui in his words made Wang Boyan a little jealous.

Qin Hui took the opportunity to test Zhao Gou's "sincerity" towards him. He was very satisfied and talked about his clever plan with great satisfaction.

"The officials, common people, soldiers and people in Bianjing City have long been in peace, and they have long developed the temperament of coveting comfort and hating war. Especially the officials and dignitaries in the city. Once the war fails, their families will be destroyed, and their centuries-old wealth will be lost in one day.

As soon as we talk about peace talks, they will cheer and flock to us. As for the people in Bianjing, many are indolent and inactive, and few are wary of danger in times of peace. If the top wants peace talks, the bottom will have different thoughts.

Defending a city does not depend on the city's strong walls, high walls, and the abundance of soldiers and food, but on the people's hearts. The hearts of the people are scattered, and no matter how tall or large the city of Bianjing is, it will be difficult to hold it. "

Zhao Gou put his palms in his hands and shouted: "Okay, sir, this is a wonderful idea. It's really my king's ovary, Kong Ming. With my help, sir, great things can be accomplished!"

Wang Boyan, Wan Qixi, Li Ye, Wang Shiyong and others had jealousy flashing in their eyes. They pretended to smile and praised Qin Hui humbly.

Wanyan Wu Qimai's eyes lit up, this Qin Hui was really good at figuring out people's hearts. If such a person is used well, he will be more effective than ten thousand cavalry.

Zhao Gou asked impatiently: "Sir, how can we negotiate a peace?"

"When negotiating peace, of course, you must put forward conditions. Ask for prices in the sky, and bargain on the ground. Divide the country across the river. The king named Wei Wang, and cut Hebei, Hedong, and the northern part of Jingdong East Road as the ruling territory.

They asked for several cars of gold, silver, and jewelry. The most important thing was to hand over the Jin princess and her family as hostages for peace negotiations! "
