Chapter 691: Grandfather and grandson

Just like the capture of the three cities of Huai, Hai, and Yi, Ye Qing is very likely to continue to carry forward his reputation as a collector of tiger talismans.

At the beginning, the army of 30,000 people became an army of 50,000 after the absorption and integration of the three cities, which also made him have more tiger talismans in the hands of the guards of the three cities of Huai, Hai and Yi.

The heavy Xuzhou City finished Yan Zheng's tiger talisman, which made Ye Qing's heart more steady, and the four tiger talismans seemed to be more important to Ye Qing than the city of the raiders, and it was also like his own reward for the victory of his own army.

Only in the Tang Dynasty was the Tiger Talisman that was changed to the shape of the fish talisman and the turtle talisman because of the avoidance of Li Hu's name, but fortunately, the style of the Tiger Talisman has been restored again, which also makes Ye Qing have a stronger interest in the Tiger Talisman.

Wanyan Zheng is more like a person like Yu Yunwen, he looks quite elegant on the outside, even if he has now become a defeated general of Ye Qing's subordinates because of the broken city, but after removing the armor, Wanyan Zheng is wearing a brand-new, without the slightest wrinkles, and a decent Jin State official uniform on his body, which makes him even more elegant and unfazed.

"Sit." Ye Qing took the tiger talisman in his hand, and finally had time to take off his helmet, and after sitting down, he glanced at Yan Zheng and said lightly.

Looking at Ye Qing, who still had the breath of war and killing just now, led the generals behind him to walk in, sat down on the main seat generously, and took off his helmet The moment Yan Zheng began to carefully look at the young man who had just defeated him.

"Lord Ye?" Wanyan Zheng's expression was neither humble nor silent, and there was no despondency in his tone to ask.

"Yes, in Xia Ye Qing." Ye Qing smiled, admiring the tiger talisman in his hand, and at the same time took the report on the number of casualties handed over by Jia She, which was still being counted one after another, as well as the movements of other Jinguo officials in Xuzhou City at this time.

"Dare to ask Lord Ye what he plans to do next? Is it to negotiate with my Dajin, or is it to take advantage of the victory and pursue it and continue to go north? After Yan Zheng's defeat, he was neat and convinced, but it didn't mean that he had surrendered, so he thought that the Song army had the ability to continue to capture the city.

"How about taking it one step at a time?" Ye Qing put down the report in his hand and motioned to Xin Qijian to collect the defenders of Xuzhou and immediately start repairing the city wall of Xuzhou.

This is a strategy that Ye Qing has already thought of, not to mention that over the years, because of Dong Chao's activities in the north, he has basically had a very thorough understanding of the deployment of the Jin people on the east and west roads of Shandong.

In addition, over the years, the Jin people's own army began to shrink on a large scale after Yan Yong's succession, or under the strategy of the Jin soldiers returning to agriculture and the Song people returning to the good, the Jin garrison army on the east and west roads of Shandong has now become a garrison army with the vast majority of Song people as the structure.

Therefore, for Ye Qing, it is not an extremely dangerous thing to absorb and fuse these people into his Huainan East Road army.

"Lord Ye, do you think your imperial court will support you? This siege is easy to defend the city is difficult, my Dajin went south with iron hooves, all the way to the Central Plains, but also supported Zhang Bangchang and Liu Yu as emperors, Lord Ye must also be very clear, I Dajin was helpless back then, and made this decision, because I couldn't find a good strategy for a while, so I hurriedly supported the puppet emperor. Now that Lord Ye wants to take it step by step, I wonder if your court will have good ministers to come here to govern the city and the country? Wanyan Zheng saw that Ye Qing did not interrupt his words, so he began to continue to talk.

The appointment and dismissal of officials in the cities that were taken down by the Song army, including Xuzhou City, even reminded Ye Qing with a threatening meaning that the consequence of taking every step of the camp would be that once the real army of the Jin State crossed the Yellow River, then Ye Qing and the others would not be as calm and relaxed as they are now.

"At that time, what I will face is the real wolf-like Dajin elite, I don't know if your court and emperor can afford the wrath of my Dajin?" Wan Yan Zheng analyzed the stakes.

"Lord Wanyan is the governor of Xuzhou, Ye wants to ask, what made Lord Wanyan give up resistance so happily and surrender?" Although Ye Qing's eyes were still easy-going, the fierceness that a winner should have, when he looked at Wan Yan Zheng, his heart still shook slightly, and the deafening explosion seemed to sound in his mind again.

Without giving Wanyan Zheng a chance to think, Ye Qing's eyes kept on Wanyan Zheng and continued: "Lord Wanyan must be right: the one who retreats is a wise man who knows the difficulty, and he understands this sentence quite thoroughly, if not, he would not surrender so happily, right?" So...... Ye was thinking, when my army had not yet arrived at the city of Xuzhou, Lord Wanyan must have known my movements, so is this a strategy for Lord Wanyan to lure you into the urn? ”

"No, I surrendered for the sake of saving the people of Xuzhou from misery. Let alone...... Just now, Lord Ye has sent his men to absorb my Dajin army, and now the tiger talisman is also in your hands, even if Wanyan Zheng has the heart to invite you into the urn, but he must also have such strength, right? Wanyan Zheng said calmly and easily: "Breaking the city may be a sharp weapon, but my Dajin Iron Cavalry is not a dead thing like the city of Xuzhou, and the siege weapon of the adult, if you face my Dajin Iron Cavalry, can you be very sure?" ”

"The will of the people." Ye Qing stood up slowly, and the heavy armor on his body immediately made a rattling sound, and in Wan Yan Zheng's ears at this time, it was more like the victor's singing and showing off.

"The Jin people have occupied half of my Great Song Dynasty for many years, and since Lord Wanyan can give up the city freely, and is willing to watch me absorb your army, I must think that the people of Xuzhou City are now proud of Dajin. But don't worry, I, Ye Qing, have a few days, and I'll take a look at who favors you and me with Lord Wanyan. Ye Qing looked at Yan Zheng with a smile, motioned for Jia She's good life to entertain, and then walked out of the government office again.

After talking to Yan Zheng a little ambiguously, the bull's head was not in the horse's mouth, so that Xu Fan, Tian Lin and others behind him were confused, and they didn't know whether the two of them were playing dumb riddles or negotiating.

Wanyan Zheng did not stop Ye Qing who was leaving, and he was also calm about Ye Qing's treatment of him, but looking at the back of Ye Qing's tall and mighty armor, Wanyan Zheng's eyes became a little gloomy and worried for a while.

Indeed, as Ye Qing said, the reason why he surrendered so happily was not only because he was afraid that the Song army's siege weapons would cause greater casualties to the Jin army, but also because he didn't want to fight with Ye Qing under such a momentum.

Because he believed that in the middle of the night or early tomorrow morning, the Tengzhou garrison would rush to Xuzhou City, and when the time came, only 50,000 Song troops would be trapped in Xuzhou City.

And when he asked Ye Qing whether he planned to continue to pursue the victory in the north, or whether he planned to take advantage of the victory, Ye Qing's answer made him somewhat relieved.

Of course, he hoped that Ye Qing would be able to stay in Xuzhou City for a few days, instead of going north immediately, so this so-called invitation to enter the urn, although there is also a certain risk for Wanyan Zheng, but compared to him fighting against Ye Qing alone, the chances of winning are naturally much greater.

In the Yanjing Palace, Wan Yan Jing cautiously followed the eunuch to Wan Yan Yong's bedroom.

What happened in the south was not at all out of Yan Yong's expectations, the two cities of Haizhou and Huaizhou were taken by Ye Qing's soldiers without blood, and then Yizhou was just the so-called symbolic resistance, and it was broken by Ye Qing.

From time to time there was a chirping insect cry in the grass outside the palace, the dormitory was brightly lit, and Wan Yanyong was placed in front of a huge map of the east and west roads of Shandong, and Wan Yanyong was under the fire candle raised by the eunuch next to him at this time, looking at the east and west roads of Shandong, the hands scattered with old age spots, trembling and walking on the map.

"My grandson has seen the emperor's grandfather." Wan Yanjing said in a low voice.

Wan Yan Yong's hand on the map paused slightly, and then motioned back for Wan Yan Jing to get up and speak.

"How's it going? Was Yizhou broken by Ye Qing? Wan Yan Yong turned around, still with a kind smile on his face, and looked at Wan Yan Jing, who was frowning and worried, and asked.

"Yes, Grandpa." Wan Yanjing's handsome cheeks became more and more solemn.

Some time ago, because he was worried about this, he sent Qi Shi Lie Zhizhong to Shandong East Road, but he never thought that not long after Qi Shi Lie Zhizhong left Haizhou on his front foot, Ye Qing began to go north.

"Hao Jinqing is a student of Zhao Bingwen, and it is also because of Zhao Bingwen's recommendation that he was sent to Pengcheng by the imperial court. Zhao Bingwen is this person...... He is quite talented, but he is also like other literati of the Song people, and he is insatiable. At that time, the emperor's grandfather sent him to Haizhou, hoping to use his fame to attract Song scholars and scholars, so that on the road to reunification, more people could think that my Dajin was the unification of China. Unexpectedly, in the end, it fell short and was picked up by your gentleman. Wan Yanyong said that in the end, he began to shake his head a little self-deprecatingly and smiled bitterly.

"Grandpa Huang, the grandson has ordered Qi Shilie to lead the army south, and he will arrive at Jinan Mansion again in a few days, and Yidu Mansion has Wanyan Kuang in charge, plus Yelu father and son in Tai'an Prefecture, Shandong Lianglu grandson thinks that it is still impregnable, and next year at the latest, we will be able to recapture the city captured by Ye Qing again, and even ...... Sun Er hopes to go one step further and go directly to Yangzhou and Zhenjiang across the river. Wan Yan Jing's hand dotted on the map, asking Wan Yan Yong's opinion from time to time.

Wan Yan Yong, who had never disappeared with a kind smile on his face, nodded approvingly from time to time, and then said: "The emperor's grandfather over there in the Song court has already questioned them, and now that Zhao Gou is dead, Zhao Yan is disheartened and has no mental politics, and the court has decided to be controlled by Wang Huai, compared to the other one, although Wang Huai has been a strong advocate of resisting Jin in the Song court for many years, this person's ambition is also much greater than Han Cheng." This person has always claimed to be a pillar of loyalty to the Song court, and for many years, he has been suppressed by Tang Siwei, or checked and balanced by Wei Qi and Shi Hao. Therefore, if Wang Huai can be convinced, Ye Qing's army will be self-defeating, just like Yue Fei back then. ”

"Repeat the same trick." Wan Yan Jing thought seriously and said.

"Yes, Wang Huai is good, Han Cheng is good, but after all, it is Song Chen, Wang Huai and Zhu Xi and others have always been friends, if you can win him over for my Dajin, Huaxia orthodoxy is none other than my Dajin, so that while Song Court Zhao Yan has no psychological politics, it is also a good time for my Dajin to take the opportunity to go south. Grandpa Huang is most worried about ...... is afraid that Wang Huai will soon be overwhelmed by Han Cheng above the Song court, and furthermore, in Ye Qing's heart, there is still a little consciousness of being a Song Chen, if he is allowed to continue to go north, once he arouses greater ambition in his heart, it is very likely that Ye Qing will become a hero. Wan Yanyong's originally relaxed and kind demeanor finally revealed a trace of hidden worry.

Ye Qing is by no means pedantic, this is clear in both his heart and Yan Jing.

Yue Fei's twelve gold medals were recalled by the Song Dynasty that year, which not only relieved the Jin people who were forced to retreat by the Yue family's army, but also made Song Ting breathe a sigh of relief.

At that time, the courage and strength of the Yue family army suppressed the Jin people like a mountain, so that the Jin people no longer had the strength to go south.

Similarly, like a dangerous city, the Song court felt uneasy and worried, and was deeply afraid that Yue Fei, who had not been able to recall the eleven gold medals, was ambitious, and would continue to expand the so-called Yue family army by resisting the Jin people's iron cavalry with a large army, so that his power would become more and more independent of the control of the imperial court, and he would establish himself as the king, or even establish the country as the emperor.

Now Ye Qing has the same conditions and opportunities as Yue Fei, and even compared to the situation that Yue Fei faced at the beginning, Ye Qing's current situation is much more relaxed and favorable than Yue Fei.

Zhao Gou is dead, Zhao Yan has no mental politics, Wang Huai is ambitious and has always wanted to monopolize power, and Han Cheng is now suppressed and has no time to take care of himself, so now, is there anyone in the Song Court who can really and thoroughly check and balance Ye Qing?

Ye Qing is like a wolf raised by Zhao Gou, and now with the death of his master, this one was not buried, but a wolf that was released, no one can know what kind of thing he will do, and no one can know how loyal this wolf is to the Zhao Song clan, and no one can make this wolf put away its fangs.

"If Ye Qing has been going north and expanding his army like a bamboo, then at that time, even if Song Ting wants to restrain him, I am afraid he will be powerless. Once Ye Qing has an army of 100,000 ....... Wan Yan Jing frowned, and the next result, he didn't dare to continue to think about it.

Wan Yan Yong's words made him have to think about how to deploy troops to deal with Ye Qing while exerting pressure on the Song court, but who can be Ye Qing's opponent?

Although I don't know Ye Qing's true ability to dispatch troops, but with the original battle of Wuzhou, Ye Qing's elusive thunderbolt means wiped out 3,000 elites, so Wan Yan Jing had to be cautious.

"Ye Qingqi is elusive, after taking Yizhou, will he continue to go north for merit, or will he ......." Wan Yan Yong walked to the map, put the candle in his hand on Xuzhou City, and said: "If Ye Qing plans to fight steadily and steadily, he wants to take Xuzhou to clear his worries, and then continue to plot to go north, the east and west roads of Shandong will be in danger." A beggar is in the middle of the fight, I'm afraid it will be difficult to protect the two roads in Shandong. ”

The candle was placed firmly on the head of Xuzhou City, and Wan Yan Jing's eyes began to go north with Wan Yan Yong's fingers, sweeping across the Yellow River, passing over the sixteen states of Yanyun and the Great Wall, and then pointed directly at the grassland, sighing: "Back then, Ye Qing escaped from Wuzhou into the grassland, although the black stone, iron furnace and so on gave the people of Dajin what they urgently needed for the winter. But why not to the tribes on the grassland, hanging a piece of mouth-watering fat in Wuzhou. Ye Qing's timing was just right, once it entered autumn, the cold winter that had never been seen on the grassland last year would inevitably make the grassland tribe fight Wuzhou's idea, so my Dajin would be attacked by the enemy. ”

"That'...... What does Grandpa Huang mean? Wan Yan Jing listened to Wan Yan Yong's analysis, and couldn't help but feel even bigger.

But now Wan Yan Yong, who has intentionally begun to cultivate Wan Yan Jing as the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, has begun to intentionally or unintentionally let Wan Yan Jing give orders above the court, so most of the time, Wan Yan Yong is just like Zhao Gou's original role, as a emperor who controls the overall situation.

"This is the appointment document of the two of them, plus the begging stone lie, it should be enough to repel and defeat Ye Qing's Huainan East Road army, as for the begging stone lie gods and slaves you rely on, you might as well send them to Wuzhou now, and after a period of training, it is most suitable to use it on the blade as your elite future." Wan Yanyong casually pointed to the holy decree that had been placed on the table behind him and said.

With the death of Wan Yan Yungong, Wan Yan Yong can be said to have given great expectations to Wan Yan Jing, and similarly, he is also afraid that he will not be able to wait until everything is ready, and then give the Zen position to Wan Yan Jing the day, so at this time, Wan Yan Yong has begun not only to prevent Ye Qing in the south from going north, but also to guard against the wolf ambitions of the Tatars on the grassland, once he dies, whether Stanley's thin Wan Yan Jing can be deterred, and now there are many old ministers and nobles in the court.

Worshipping force and surrendering to the strong has always been the iron law of Dajin warriors, so in Wan Yan Yong's view, Wan Yan Jing is completely not enough to rely on the two brothers of Qi Shi Lie Zhizhong and Qi Shi Lie Gods and Slaves, it is best that the two brothers can master Dajin's most elite iron horse, which can not only deter those royal families with different intentions for Wan Yan Jing, but also the absolute strength of Wan Yan Jing and Dajin to repel the Song Dynasty army and steppe wolves.

"Grandpa Huang, if you want to go south, ...... you want to go." After Yan Jing heard Yan Shoudao's name, he was really surprised.

This absolute elite commander who once followed Wan Yan Yong to make great contributions, assisted Wan Yan Yong to ascend the throne, and eliminated those who opposed him after he ascended the throne, but was handed over to Wan Yan Yong in a sentence at this time, which made Wan Yan Jing's heart moved, and he had to be full of great gratitude to Wan Yan Yong.

"Although Wanyan Shoudao is more than sixty years old, but Yu Wei is still there, this person followed the emperor's grandfather back then, and he is a general who cannot be won by my big gold, and these years because of the emperor's recuperation, so he slowly faded out of the court. However, as long as my Dajin uses him whenever he is used, he is still my Dajin's most powerful tiger, and he can still tear the enemy to pieces. After finishing Yan Yong's old fist, he hammered heavily on the city of Xuzhou on the map.

Xuzhou City, which was quickly removed by Wan Yan Jing, was completely hidden under Wan Yan Yong's old fist at this time, and the words of the eunuch next to him made Wan Yan Jing suddenly feel a chill down his spine: Xuzhou City was taken by Ye Qing.
