Chapter 99 is all about calculations
After learning of the Liao army's large-scale invasion, although there was no definite news coming, Taiyuan City had already begun a curfew, and implemented the policy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, and evacuated all the people of the surrounding villages and towns into the city.
It is true that the highest official in Taiyuan Mansion is Liu Wenguang, but the leader of the troops is a military general named Han Shizhong.
As an important border town, Taiyuan Mansion originally had heavy troops, knowing that the Liao army was coming, and mobilized a large number of people, and now Taiyuan can use more than 100,000 people to defend the city.
And this is not the most important thing, the important thing is that the granaries are built in the city of Taiyuan.
After listening to Shi Qian's report, Zhao Yu couldn't help but gasp, 100,000 troops defended the city, but they only had 10,000 horses, and they still wanted to take food from the city, what is the difference between talking to a fool and a dream?
Yeluhuan was also blindsided, and after being stunned for a moment, he said, "Your Highness, let's go back!" In case Song Jun turns around, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”
Zhao Yu pondered solemnly for a long time before slowly shaking his head and saying, "I want to enter the city."
Yeluhuan and Shi Qian were shocked, Taiyuan was undoubtedly in the tiger's den in Longtan at this time, and now when they go in, aren't they looking for death?
Before they could speak out against it, they heard Zhao Yu continue to say in a deep voice: "The only way to do this is to catch Liu Wenguang and Han Shizhong, it is possible to reverse the unfavorable situation in front of us."
Crazy, crazy, this kid must be crazy, such a crazy thing, let alone doing it, even if you don't think about it!
"This matter must not be, if Your Highness really has any three strengths and two shortcomings, let the last general explain to the princess and His Majesty, no, absolutely not, I will go and order to pack up..."
"Yeluhuan, are you the boss or is this king the boss? If you dare to stop me again, I will die in front of you."
Zhao Yu was also anxious, and suddenly pulled out his sword and put it across his neck as he spoke, of course, suicide hurts, and he scared Yeluhuan.
Yeluhuan was really frightened by Zhao Yu's crazy actions, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Your Highness, you must not, everything is easy to discuss."
"No negotiation, three days at most, if it doesn't work out in three days, I'll come back immediately"
"This, this, well! It's a big deal, I'll just accompany you with my life."
Ye Luhuan also let go, to be honest, he was not willing to go back empty-handed, if Zhao Yu's plan didn't work, then he had to rush it all the way back, otherwise he would have to starve to death on the road before he arrived in Youzhou.
There can't be many people doing this kind of thing, and Wu Song has already hidden in the city with dozens of skilled men.
Shi Qian and Yan Qing also did not agree with Zhao Yu entering the city, but seeing that Zhao Yu's attitude was so resolute, they could only choose to obey orders.
That night, Zhao Yu, accompanied by Yan Qing and Shi Qian, quietly entered Taiyuan.
Although Taiyuan City has been under martial law, the Liao army has not yet appeared after all, and it is definitely not possible for a large group of people to enter the city, and it is not a problem for people to want to walk in, not to mention that Zhao Yu has Yan Qing and Shi Qian by his side, two masters!
As early as when Zhao Yu left the Central Plains, he had already ordered Yang Xu to quietly buy an industry in Taiyuan, and Wu Song and the others were hiding there now, so after entering the city, Zhao Yu and the others also rushed over directly.
Yang Xu was already on his way to Youzhou at this time, and the person who managed this secret stronghold was an old guard of Zhao Yu from the past, surnamed Zhang Minghuansheng.
There was no plan to kidnap Liu Wenguang before, so according to Zhao Yu's idea, the investigation had to start again.
However, Zhao Yu obviously underestimated Wu Song's ability to do things, and when investigating the specific situation in the city, Wu Song took Liu Wenguang's whereabouts to check it out.
Seeing Zhao Yu enter the city in person, Wu Song was also frightened, and after meeting, he couldn't help but blame: "Your Highness's daughter's body, how can you easily get into danger?" Could it be that His Highness still can't trust Wu Song? ”
"Second Brother Wu misunderstood, we are brothers in life and death, we should share blessings and difficulties, okay, let's not talk about these first, is there any way for the second brother to catch Liu Wenguang?"
Liu Wenguang is not even a fart in Zhao Yu's heart, he wants to catch Han Shizhong through Liu Wenguang, it is a big fish, if he doesn't catch him, even if he catches Liu Wenguang, it will be useless.
"It shouldn't be difficult to catch him, Taiyuan is now tight on the outside and loose on the inside, to be exact, he should be waiting for further news from Zhending Mansion, and it is estimated that Liu Wenguang never dreamed that His Royal Highness would come in person."
Because he almost didn't become his father-in-law, he had done a survey on Liu Wenguang before, and what this guy liked was all in Zhao Yu's heart.
Nodding and saying to Zhang Huansheng: "Huansheng, prepare some belongings, prepare a few big boxes, the kind that can hold people, tomorrow we will go to Liu's Mansion to visit this Lord Liu."
"Your Highness, don't bother so hard! I'll get him for you tonight."
"It doesn't work to catch him alone, the most important thing is that General Han, by the way, Huansheng, Han Shizhong's family can be in Taiyuan?"
"Your Highness forgives me, my subordinates really haven't investigated this matter"
"It's not too late to investigate, if it goes well, after we leave, you have to find a way to pick up his family too"
Han Shizhong is a great talent, and at the same time, he will definitely be a big threat in the future, so he must be robbed.
On the same night, the gate of Zhendingfu, hundreds of miles away, opened, and then a team of about 500 iron horsemen crept out of the city, and the city gate immediately closed with a bang.
The team walked to a far distance from the city wall before they began to mount their horses and gallop, galloping in the direction of Taiyuan Mansion.
Those who count people are also counted as people, and there is not only one Zhao Yu in this world who is a smart person.
According to normal historical tricks, Zong Ze should have resigned at home at this time, but in this time and space, not only did he not resign, but he also sat in the high position of Hebei West Road Disposal Envoy and Zhizhen Dingfu.
Not only that, Zong Ze also had a discerning eye, and in the rebellion of suppressing Tao Jun and Jia Jin in Hebei, he discovered Yue Fei, a handsome talent, and promoted him to his side.
After the Liao army came over, Zong Ze was actually very surprised, because he knew that the main forces of the Liao army were fighting against the Jurchens in the north, and there was no spare strength to invade the Great Song Dynasty.
However, since the enemy came, of course, he couldn't wait to ignore it, so he made every effort to prepare for the battle, ready to give the Liao army a head-on attack, but the performance of the Liao army was much beyond his expectations, because the Liao army did not attack the city, nor plundered, but just turned around and left.
At this time, rumors about Zhao Yu's betrayal of the Song Dynasty were already rampant, but the Song army scouts did not find any trace of Zhao Yu in the Liao army.
After discovering that the situation was different, Zong Ze immediately guessed that the purpose of this Liao army was not really determined, but he was also not sure what the Liao army really thought, and he didn't know much about the legendary His Royal Highness King Yi.
So after careful consideration, Zong Ze ordered Yue Fei to lead five hundred iron cavalry to search westward.
This is completely an intuition on Zong Ze's part, but he feels that there is a trick, but he never dreamed that Zhao Yu would dare to go to Taiyuan to grab grain.
Coincidentally, there is no book, and many factors come together to link several originally unrelated people.
And Zhao Yu also didn't expect that he would meet Yue Fei in this way...
