Although Xu Shize's express letter was intercepted, Zhu Jun still knew about the change in Yuancheng through Zhang Guangji's pigeon letter, but Zhang Guangji's pigeon letter was sent to Liyang County, Weizhou, and then transferred from Liyang County to Zhu Jun's military camp, which was two days late.

At the same time when Zhu Zhu received Zhang Guangji's pigeon letter, the spies' battle report also came, the Jin army raided Yuancheng, and the Yuancheng defenders surrendered, so that the Jin army occupied Yuancheng without blood.

This news first made Zhu Jun stunned, and then he was furious, he killed and injured countless soldiers, and tried his best to make a countermeasure, and finally succeeded, but he made a wedding dress for the Jin army, so how could he not hate it.

"Bastard! Dog offal, bastard surnamed Guo, why don't you die? ”

In the big tent, Zhu Zhu jumped like thunder, scolded Guo Song, and the guards were so frightened that they hid by the tent and didn't dare to say anything.

Zhu Jun scolded more and more ruthlessly, he turned his head, and suddenly found that the two eunuchs were whispering to each other, his heart was full of anger, rushed up and grabbed the heads of the two and hit them hard, the two eunuchs suddenly fell to the ground, he shouted: "Drag these two dog things out and cut them off!" ”

The two cried and begged for mercy, and the wolf-like guards dragged the two out of the big tent, just as Liu Sigu came over, and the two eunuchs cried and shouted: "Help!" Help!"

Liu Sigu asked, "What's going on with the two of them?" ”

The guard shook his head, "I don't know, it seems to have angered Your Majesty." ”

"Drag it down and beat it fifty sticks! Murder will be spared, I will go and tell Your Majesty. ”

The guards nodded, dragging the two grateful eunuchs down.

Liu Sigu walked into the big tent and saw that Zhu Jun's anger had not subsided, so he smiled and said, "Is Your Majesty still angry about the matter of Yuancheng?" ”

Zhu Jun said angrily: "How can I not be angry, I died so many soldiers, I took the trouble to get rid of Fu Lan, but in the end I cheapened Guo Song, who can bear this kind of thing?" ”

Liu Sigu couldn't help but laugh dumbly, how did the Son of Heaven become like a child?

Liu Sigu said calmly: "Killing people is ominous, I spared the two eunuchs just now, Your Majesty has no opinion!" ”

Liu Sigu's calmness and indifference affected Zhu Zhu, and Zhu Zhu slowly calmed down, he nodded, "If you don't kill, you won't kill, this kind of trivial matter is the military division's decision, but Yuancheng lost, isn't the military division angry?" ”

Liu Sigu shook his head, "Before, I was also bent on taking Yuancheng, but now I am very glad, fortunately we didn't take Yuancheng, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." ”

"Why?"

"Your Majesty, whether it is Yuancheng, Weizhou, or even Weizhou, it is the transportation route of Haiyan in the Jin Kingdom, especially Yuancheng, which can directly cut off the transportation road of Haiyan, can Guo Song give up? He dispatched more than 100,000 troops, stationed in Qingzhang County, less than 100 miles away from Yuancheng, he was waiting for the opportunity, from his 60,000 troops who completely annihilated Li Na in a battle, it can be known that he did not fight, and the first battle was a thunderous attack. ”

"The two armies fought, the brave wins, Li Na was completely annihilated after he withdrew in a panic, will we also follow in the footsteps of the army?" Zhu Jun was a little unimpressed by Liu Sigu's praise of the Jin army's combat ability.

"Your Majesty, even if we capture Yuancheng, then what?" Liu Sigu asked.

"Of course, leave the heavy army to garrison, and then the army will withdraw to Luoyang."

"But if the Jin army occupies Weizhou, Huaizhou and Weizhou, and the Yellow River is thawed, we will only be left in Hebei, Yuancheng, a lonely city, and the logistics supply will not be available, and the army will not be able to support it, how long does Your Majesty think the defenders of Yuancheng can support it?"

Zhu Jun was silent for a moment, and said with some dissatisfaction: "According to the meaning of the military division, we shouldn't fight for Hebei at all, just give Hebei to Guo Song, is that what it means?" ”

Liu Sigu sighed, "Your Majesty didn't understand what I meant, Hebei is a matter of life and death for Guo Song, and it is just icing on the cake for us, the strategic significance of the two sides is different, we can't use the strength of the whole country to fight for Hebei, but Guo Song Hui, the question is here, is Your Majesty willing to deploy 200,000 troops in Weizhou, Huaizhou and Weizhou, and fight to the death with the Jin State?" If Your Majesty fails to do this, then we will definitely lose. ”

Zhu Jun was a little hesitant, would he throw 200,000 troops in several states in Hebei? He only has a total of 300,000 troops, to defend Luoyang, to protect the Central Plains, to ensure Jianghuai, how can he deploy 200,000 troops in Hebei? At most, there are 10,000 people in one state, and 30,000 or 40,000 people are in the sky.

"If, like Wei State, I reach an agreement with Guo Song to allow him to cross the border by salt ship, won't this situation work?"

Liu Sigu shook his head, "Wei and Jin reached an agreement, only because the Jin army has just captured the northern part of Hebei and needs time to digest, so it will not fight Wei for the time being, once the Jin army has gained a firm foothold in Hebei, it will definitely find an excuse to tear up the agreement and launch a full-scale war against Wei, so Your Majesty must not pin your hopes on an expedient contract." ”

"Then the military advisor said what should I do now!"

Liu Sigu pondered and said: "My suggestion is that while the Jin army has just occupied Yuancheng now, and it can't take care of us, we will evacuate as soon as possible, and it is of course best to keep Huaizhou and add a Liyang City in Hebei, if you really can't keep Huaizhou, then keep a Liyang!" ”

Zhu Jun's anger had completely disappeared, and he also realized that the Jin army's capture of Yuancheng was not accidental, the Jin army had long been eyeing the sidelines, but they had seized the opportunity well.

But if Zhu Jun wants to admit defeat and quit like this, he is unwilling, at least he has to get Bozhou, Weizhou and Huaizhou, so that he will not lose money with a large amount of investment in the early stage.

He took a few steps with his hands in his hands and said, "That's it! It's better to negotiate with Guo Song, he wants Weizhou and I can let it, but he can't be too greedy, it belongs to my interests, and I won't let go easily. ”

.........

Zhu Zhu sent his military scholar Zhao Changde to Yuancheng to negotiate with Guo Song, his army was originally stationed in Wei County, which was too close to Yuancheng, in order to prevent a sneak attack by the Jin army, Zhu Zhu ordered the camp to move south to Changle County, a hundred miles away.

Zhao Changde is a native of Luoyang, originally the governor of the Song Dynasty, he has good calligraphy, and he is also shrewd and capable, and more importantly, he is not as hypocritical as other civil officials, and regards serving Zhu Zhu as a shame, so Zhao Changde won Zhu Jun's trust and promoted him to the third grade of Jin Ziguanglu Doctor, a scholar of Jixian Palace, and a scholar of the School Inspection Department.

Early the next morning, Zhao Changde arrived in Yuancheng and was brought into the city by the peripheral sentinels, who are still under curfew, but they can go to the streets casually during the day, and the military discipline of the Jin army is good, basically stationed outside the city, and there are only 10,000 troops in the city responsible for patrolling and maintaining law and order.

But what makes the people most happy is that after the Jin army occupied Yuancheng, the price of salt, rice and cloth fell sharply, and all taxes were canceled, which is related to the vital interests of thousands of households.

Originally, everyone's little affection for the Tian family was replaced by the actual gains.

The streets began to be lively, pedestrians flowed, shops were opened, many soldiers on leave drank and shopped in the city, and groups of military law soldiers marched through the streets.

Zhao Changde came to the Wei Palace under the leadership of the soldiers, the Wei State has been destroyed, and it has been renamed the official office of the Hebei Salt and Iron Transit Division, and it is also the official office of the Hebei Nansu Zhengtai, and it is also the Jin Army's Marshal Mansion of the East Army, which is actually a set of three brands, of course, it will be separated in the future, at least there are not enough officials now.

Zhao Changde waited at the gate for a while, and one of them came out, hugged his fists and said, "Zhao Envoy, please come with me, my patriarch Shi is waiting." ”

Zhao Changde nodded, followed him into the door, and he couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, who is your patriarch?" ”

He said with a smile: "Wang Yu, now he is the head of the Marshal Zhengdong Mansion." ”

"Oh!"

Zhao Changde suddenly realized that Wang Yu had taken refuge in Guo Song, and it seemed that he was quite reused by Guo Song.

Walking into a large courtyard, the courtyard was busy, and more than a dozen people were engaged in running back and forth with a large pile of papers.

When I came to the lobby, I saw that all kinds of documents and materials were piled up in the lobby, and a middle-aged scribe was leading several people to look for some information in the pile of documents.

Engaged in the front report: "Long history, Zhao Zhijun is here!" ”

The middle-aged scribe was none other than Wang Yu, who had been sorting out the former population registration and land information for the past two days, and he was very busy.

Wang Yu stepped forward and saluted and smiled: "There are too many things, which makes Zhao Envoy Jun smile." ”

Zhao Changde returned the salute and smiled: "These materials of the Wei State, Wang Changshi should be familiar with the road." ”

This is a pun, it sounds like flattery, but it is actually ridiculing Wang Yu as a subordinate of the Wei State, the fault of a scholar, always speaking with thorns, and likes to insinuate and ridicule others.

Wang Yu smiled faintly, "Thanks to the love of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, I can afford to look up to my Wang, life is short, of course I want to choose a good tree to perch on, but if I want to go to Zhu Jun's kind of despicable villain, it is absolutely impossible." ”

Zhao Changde choked for a moment, and after a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "This time, I was sent by the Emperor of Great Qin to negotiate with your army on the follow-up matters of the Wei State. ”

Wang Yu waved his hand, "Zhao Yuanjun, please take a seat!" ”
