The Song State sent 19 groups of people to contact Han Shizhong, Wu Jue, Cheng Min, Xie Yuan, Yue Chao, Hu Yantong, Yang Zheng, Guo Hao, Yang Congyi, Wang Jun, Yang Congyi, Wang Quan, Liu Bao, Xu Shi'an, Dong Min, Cao Cheng, Zhang Yong, and Ma Jin. ”

After listening to Chen Jue's report, Cai still smiled and said: "Tong Guan, this old guy is really ruthless, if he succeeds, I am afraid that my army will not have more than half of it." ”

Chen Juan joined Han Shizhong to join Cai Ying.

At the age of twenty-two, he was in high school and served as Wenlin Lang, School Shulang, and Zuo Lang in the secretary province of the Hanlin Academy, and was awarded the title of Doctor of the Five Classics of Taixuefu, and then transferred to the Jizhou Bing Cao Division of Kaifeng Prefecture, and later offended Shangguan and was transferred to the Western Army as a civilian.

That is, when he was in the Western Army, Chen Juan and Han Shizhong knew each other, and Chen Juan also began to serve as Han Shizhong's staff.

Han Shizhong's vote for Cai is actually Chen Juan's idea for Han Shizhong.

After Han Shizhong voted for Cai Zhen, he strongly recommended Chen Juan to Cai Yi - Han Shizhong said that Chen Juan has always taken the performance of his duties as his duty, boldly made suggestions, was diligent in political affairs, sympathetic to the people's feelings, and benefited the people.

Cai still accepted Han Shizhong's recommendation, and after taking Chen Juan with him for a while, he found that Chen Juan was indeed as Han Shizhong said, and he could be of great use.

Because Liang Hongyu is not by Cai Yan's side now, or even in Yundi, some of them can't take care of Yundi's internal affairs.

Therefore, Cai still simply divided the internal intelligence guard into two, let Liang Hongyu only be responsible for Taiwan's internal intelligence guard, and handed over the internal intelligence guard of Yundi to Chen Ju.

After Chen Juan took over the internal intelligence guard of Yundi, he was conscientious, and with the help of the political work system to install eyeliner, it didn't take long for him to place eyeliner around all the officials and generals in Yundi to monitor their every move.

It can be said that Chen Juan is Cai Yi's eyes.

The two also became very close because of this relationship.

Seeing that Cai still didn't care, Chen Juan couldn't help but say, "Master Hou, aren't you worried at all?" Zhao Song wants to completely ruin your army and ruin the good situation you have created this time. ”

Cai was still full of confidence and said: "With you helping me watch the army, what do I have to worry about." ”

Actually, that's just one aspect.

On the other hand, Li Yan has confidence in these generals he has carefully cultivated, believes that they will not betray him, and has more confidence in the system he created.

Taking a step back, if these generals who have been carefully cultivated by themselves really can't resist even these temptations, it means that they are not qualified to fight the world and save this nation.

If this is the case, then Tsai will still return to Taiwan with people who are willing to go with him, and then live his life honestly and stop meddling in things.

Chen Jue knew that Cai was still exaggerating the role of him and the internal intelligence guard, but he was still a little flattered.

Chen Juan suppressed the waves in his heart and said, "Tong Guan sent them this time, either Han Shizhong's relatives or Han Shizhong's friends, obviously premeditated for a long time. ”

Cai still asked: "Han Shizhong, how did they deal with it?" ”

Chen Juan replied: "Han Shizhong personally cut off all the heads of the entourage brought by his brother, leaving only his brother alone, and then handed over the army to the political commissar Feng Jian to take it temporarily, and then personally brought his brother and those heads to see Lord Hou, it is estimated that he will be able to reach the clouds at noon." ”

Cai still didn't speak, he was waiting for Chen Juan to say something else.

Chen Juan said again: "Wu Jue cut off the heads of his two cousins and the entourage brought by his two cousins, and sent his personal guards to send these heads to Hou Ye, who will arrive in about a short time, and he also relieved himself of military power and handed over his army to Zhang Han, the military political commissar, to take him temporarily, and then drew the ground as a prison, waiting for Hou Ye's disposal." ”

Tong Guan did not find Yue Fei, Zhang Xian, Wang De, Niu Gao, Zhai Jin, Yang Zaixing, Li Bao, these generals who Cai was still promoted to follow Cai Yi at the end of the year - obviously, in Tong Guan's opinion, these people were all deeply favored by Cai Ying, and it was unlikely that they would betray Cai Ying.

Tong Guan also did not find Lu Junyi, Zhang Qing, Guan Sheng, these generals from the Song Jiang Rebellion - obviously, Tong Guan did not trust them.

Most of what Tong Guan was looking for were generals like Han Shizhong and Wu Jue, who originally came from the Western Army and originally belonged to the Song Army - Tong Guan felt that they had just followed Cai for a short time, and now that Cai was still dying, it was possible for them to return to the arms of the Great Song Dynasty.

It's a pity that Tong Guan's wishful thinking was wrong, and the generals either beheaded the person sent by Tong Guan to persuade him to surrender and sent his head to Cai Ying, or tied up the person sent by Tong Guan to persuade him to surrender and sent him to Cai Zhen, and most of the generals came to Cai Zhen in person or went to their control to ask for guilt.

After saying all the responses of the generals, even if he was as calm as Chen Jue, he couldn't help but say: "With this loyal army, who can stop you from advancing?" ”

Cai was still a little complacent, but he quickly suppressed this complacency and said: "Don't report the good news or bad news, there should be someone who is moved, right?" After all, Tong Guan has made a bloody investment this time. ”

Seeing that Cai was still not blindly confident, Chen Juan secretly sighed: "Seeing everything so clearly and thoroughly, no wonder Hou Ye is so young, he has today's momentum!" ”

Suppressing his feelings, Chen Juan said: "After Wang Quan and Liu Bao met their relatives and friends, one of his close generals gathered to test their attitudes, and saw that they all spoke fiercely against it, so they tied up the people who persuaded them to surrender and sent them to Wu Jue. ”

After Cai still heard this, his brows furrowed!

Wang Quan is a person, Cai still had a very bad impression of him at first.

The reason is that in history, after Han Shizhong, Yue Fei and other generals were either deprived of military power or died, Wang Quan and other second-echelon generals were reused by Zhao Gou, and the royal power was even more in a high position under the control of the capital. The gold lord finished Yan Liang's southern invasion, the soldiers went to Hezhou, Yao Xing led 3,000 people to resist, outnumbered, the king placed the wine on the mountain of Jiuxianzong, supported the army to defend himself, regardless of Yao Xing's victory or defeat, Yao Xing clashed in the formation, personally killed nearly 100 Jin soldiers, and finally died in the battle with no reinforcements.

Yao Xing was a rare fierce general in the Southern Song Dynasty at that time, and he was killed by the villain Wang Quan.

How could Cai still have a good impression of royal power?

However, what Cai still didn't expect was that after Wang Quan followed Han Shizhong to join the Jinwu Army, he was quite capable of fighting and had good luck, so he made a lot of meritorious contributions, and was promoted to his current position as commander because of his military exploits.

Because of the brave performance of the king's power, Cai still gave up his previous prejudice against him - Cai still felt that it was probably because of Zhao Gou's incompetence that the fierce general Wang Quan became a general who feared the enemy like a tiger and was timid and afraid of death.

I don't want the royal power to have such a living mind.

Liu Bao was also very brave in battle, made many meritorious contributions, and later became the commander with his military exploits.

Although Cai still had recently learned from Chen Ju that Liu Bao was arrogant, mean, cruel and unkind, at odds with the magistrate in his station, and loved money, he did not expect that he would dare to secretly recruit Tong Guan to surrender his gold, silver and jewelry.

Cai still didn't tell Chen Juan what he would do with Wang Quan and Liu Bao.

If the king does not secret, he loses his ministers, and if the ministers do not secret, he loses his body, and if he does not keep secrets, he will become harmful.

When Cai is still in his current position, he must have a sense of secrecy about the left and right.

Moreover, when it comes to Cai Ying's current position, he can't handle personnel casually, and he can't even talk nonsense, the so-called Jun Wu joke is not just a casual talk, you know, Cai Ying's words may determine the life and death of countless people.

Cai still asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

Chen Juan said: "Yes, Cao Cheng, Zhang Yong, Ma Jin, after they learned that Hou Ye was "seriously injured and poisoned", they were very negative, and they were operating around to plan for the future, and after the people sent by Tong Guan came into contact with them, they were all a little moved, and they also tested the people around them, but because none of the people around them supported them, they drove away the people who came into contact with them, and this incident did not happen......

……

After the autumn harvest, after learning that the Song army had gone north again and successfully recovered Yi and Zhuo, Cai Ying's injuries suddenly improved.

A few days later, Cai still went to inspect the army as if nothing happened.

In this process, Cai still dismissed Wang Quan and Liu Bao from their positions as commanders on the grounds of ineffective military training, and demoted them to deputy commanders, and Cao Cheng, Zhang Yong, and Ma Jin were directly transferred to idle posts, depriving them of the right to command the army.

Wang Quan and Liu Bao, who were weak-hearted, probably guessed the reason, and they didn't say anything and were punished.

Cao Cheng, Zhang Yong, and Ma Jin felt that they were very wronged and felt that they were very wronged, but they dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, so they could only keep this matter in their hearts.

As for the other people who moved to accept Tong Guan's idea of surrendering, they were all taken down by Cai Ying from the position of commander of the army, and then transferred them to inconsequential positions.

Because there are very few people who have the idea of betraying Cai Ying, it is almost negligible, and because the vast majority of the soldiers of the Jinwu Army are still loyal to Cai, Cai still has no trouble getting rid of traitors such as Wang Quan, Liu Bao, Cao Cheng, Zhang Yong, and Ma Jin.

……

On the night of October 23 in the fourth year of Xuanhe, Guo Yaoshi led 1,000 Changsheng troops as the vanguard, and Zhao Heshou, Gao Shixuan, Yang Keshi, and Yang Kebi four generals commanded a total of 5,000 troops as the main force from Liangxiang to the east to attack Yanjing.

As soon as Guo Yaoshi and the others left on the front foot, there were spies from the front guards who had penetrated into the Song army on the back foot and sent the news out.

Before dawn the next day, Lu Qing received the news.

Lu Qing didn't dare to slack off, and came to Cai Ying's Chinese army tent to see Cai Yi as soon as possible, and reported the news to Cai Zhen.

Since he came to inspect the army when he was "cured", Cai still has not left the army.

The reason why Cai still lives in the army and does not leave is to wait for this news.

Now, the news that Cai still had to wait for finally arrived, Cai still waved his fist excitedly, and then immediately sent someone to summon Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and other army commanders.

and all the generals gathered in Cai Ying's Chinese army tent, Cai still didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point: "All the generals listen to the order, reorganize the army, and prepare to go to the ......."
