Chapter 1055: For the country and for the people

Gao Yu is really a traitor!

It seems that "Water Margin" did not wronged him, although his sons all taught him very well, and they would not rob Lin Chong's wife. But he himself embarked on the sinful path of betraying the country for glory!

After receiving Ji Yi's secret letter, Wu Haogu knew that he and Gao Yu were no longer on the same path.

"Mr. Xiangshan, Brother Ximen, Da Lang, Zhao Lao, Second Brother Zhang, Zhong Fu, Lin Jiaotou, Shilang, what do you think?"

Wu Haogu's eyes full of worries about the country and the people seemed to be closed, holding his arms and just looking at Ji Yi's letter on the bookcase. The few fragrant teas on the table have long been out of heat.

There was silence in the room, and it was only after a while that Murong forgot to break the silence: "Jieshuai, if Gao Yu can really promise Yelu Yanxi a million years old, Yelu Yanxi will definitely retire and make peace." Now the situation of the Liao soldiers is much worse than the time of the Lanyuan Alliance, if you can get millions, and you can let us withdraw from Yanjing City, why not? But can we really return? Take a step back, I'm afraid it's an abyss! ”

Yes, taking a step back is the "Storm Pavilion", which is "Zhaozhao every day", even if Zhao Ji still thinks of the old feelings, most of them are drinking chicken soup in the Yushitai Prison!

What have you been jumping up and down all these years? Didn't you want Zhao Ji to go to the Northeast Snow Country but die? But Zhao Ji and Gao Yu, a pair of faint kings and traitors, are good, and they only think about betraying the country for glory, which is really disappointing.

They thought that they could coax Yelu Yanxi away for a million years of coins, and then sit back and relax?

Dream on!

The Great Liao Kingdom was tossed by itself, and there were already signs of early collapse! Zhang Zhifeng, the secret envoy who instigated the Jurchens to raise the flag and rebel, has already set off for Liaodong with Wanyan Zonggan and Wanyan Zongwang.

Guo Yaoshi, the representative of the anti-thieves in the Bohai Sea in Liaodong, also went to Tianjin a few days ago and brought a handwritten letter from Guangmingjun. The letter proposed to form an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty and jointly oppose Liao.

Ma Renwang's secret envoy also arrived in Tianjin Mansion yesterday, bringing the news that Ma Renwang will be appointed as the commander of the Liaodong Road and that Chenzhou will be the national army.

It seems that it won't be too long, and the Tokyo Road of the Liao Kingdom is the birth of Jurchen, Bohai Kingdom, Ma Jiajun, the Great Liao Kingdom and their own Great Song Dynasty Zhongchen Five-way game, more lively than a table of mahjong!

If you don't participate in it, it won't take ten years, and the birth of a girl should sweep the mountains of all sides, unify Liaodong, and then kill in the pass.

When the time comes, what will Zhao Ji and Gao Yu do with the faint monarch and traitorous ministers? Do you want to settle down in the snow country together?

Thinking of this, Wu Haogu's eyes shot like lightning towards Ma Zheng, the chief military machine. Ma Zheng shook his head and said, "Jie Shuai, you can't retreat!" The Yandi clan, the heroes outside the Guan, and the heroes of Mobei have all sharpened their knives. There is no turning back from the bow, and even if I retreat, they will surely rise up. The combat strength of the Liao soldiers is not as good as before, and they can't resist the siege of the heroes at all. If I can't take the opportunity to take back the Yan Land, and lean on the gateway of the other countries, and wait for the new lord of the North Land to be born, the chaos will affect the Central Plains! ”

It's also for the country and the people! It's okay......

Wu Haogu turned his gaze to Ximen Anguo again, and Ximen Qing's cousin only had one sentence: "Jieshuai, we all listen to you!" Whoever dares to be unfavorable to the festival marshal, we will fight them! ”

That's what henchmen should do!

Wu Haogu nodded approvingly.

Zhang Xizai said: "Jieshuai, most of the people in Tianjin who are not with you have run away, and the rest are willing to follow, and they have to follow." ”

At present, the wealthy businessmen in Tianjin are actually divided into classes, and the top class are all powerful and wealthy families of the Song and Liao countries, but they rarely directly participate in more complex businesses, and generally do real estate, relying on rent collection and real estate appreciation to make money. And those who live in the middle are the businessmen who really run industries, and there are self-employed and powerful agents.

Due to the continuation of the Song-Liao War, a considerable part of the sons and daughters of the powerful and wealthy factions of the Great Song Dynasty in Tianjin withdrew to the safe Jingdong Market. And those who remained were their agents, and most of these people were either closely related to the positivist school, or were involved in Wu Haogu's arms business, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they were on a thief ship.

"Good!" Wu Haogu looked at Zhang Xizai, who had just taken over as the governor of Tianjin, "Anyone who follows us will get benefits!" ”

Su Dalang said: "When it comes to money, the commander doesn't have to worry, he has Dali and Second Brother Zhang's plan." ”

Su Dalang's current position is the chief treasurer of the Republic Bank and the chief treasurer of the Bank of Tianjin, and he controls the economic lifeline of Tianjin Commercial City.

In addition, according to Wu Haogu's order, all the income and expenditure of the Sriwijaya City Bosi must go to the Bank of Tianjin.

In other words, the Bank of Tianjin can at any time withhold the huge income of the Sriwijaya City Bosi from the road blocking toll business.

Lin Chong also said: "Jieshuai, most of those nails have been mastered in the darkroom, and they can be pulled out at any time!" ”

"Pluck!" Wu Haogu said coldly.

The so-called nails, of course, are the Imperial City Division, the Three Yaguan Army, the Military Machinery Division, and the Privy Council, which have been buried in Tianjin one after another in the past ten years. However, these yamen are not serious spy organs, their work efficiency is very low, and the quality of their spies is very poor. What's even more troublesome is that among the officials and officials in these yamen who have secrets, there are always masters who have an eye for money. Therefore, all the spy lists are in Lin Chong's pocket.

And the so-called "pulling" does not mean that they are all cut by iron-blooded means. The key to the work of spies is not the word "cool", but the word "wisdom". Turning the nails buried in the opponent into your own nails, and letting those nails go online to accept the wrong information without realizing it, that is the real master.

Otherwise, it is very cool when you cut someone, and after the cut, the opponent will find and plug the loophole, and then send a new nail, and then it will not be easy to cut again.

"Jiejing," Zhao Jiaren suggested at this time, "The most important thing is to take Yanjing City as soon as possible, only by taking Yanjing City, can Jieshuai have more land to reward the warriors below!" The soldiers who got the land are the real hearts of the marshal, and their interests can be tied together with the marshal!

And after taking Yanjing, the size of Yandi is strong, and only the handsome horse is the first to look forward, and the handsome can use Yandi Kyushu to turn them into winged minions!

In the end, take Yandi, Song Liao is endless! As long as the Liao State does not die, the imperial court will coax the strong men of Yandi, and the handsome will not be afraid of anything.

So winning Yanjing is the foundation of the festival handsome! ”

In Wu Haogu's group, Murong Forget is similar to the existence of a military advisor; Zhao Zhongge, Murong Wei, Ximen Anguo, Hu Yanqing and Ma Zheng are all generals; Zhang Xizai, Su Dalang, Huang Shilang, Hua Manshan, Wu Side, Wu Sihai, He Tianran and others are technocrats; Lin Chong is the head of the secret service; Zhao Jiaren, on the other hand, was an emperor-like figure, and his tactics were ineffective on the battlefield and could not be used against the Liao State, but he knew how to deal with the Song Dynasty and how to formulate a rule that could unite the groups of Wu Haogu.

In the view of Zhao Jiaren, who is familiar with ancient and modern classics, it is impossible to establish a truly lasting military group by money alone. Relying on the school, it is better to use the method of teacher-student friendship to unite people's hearts than to simply spend money, but it is still not enough.

If you want to really unite the group and maintain it for a long time, you still have to let the backbone of the group get a certain industry. Mencius said that those who have constant birth have perseverance, and those who do not have constant birth have no perseverance! If you want everyone to have perseverance, you have to have constant production! And the most typical constant property, of course, is land and real estate.

Real estate and citizenship in Tianjin are certainly attractive, but the land in Tianjin and Yanshan is equally coveted. Now the farmland in Tianjin is almost exhausted, but it only satisfies part of the land needs of the core knights and officers (of course, the demand for land is unlimited). But there are still a lot of empty-handed soldiers below, and there are many utility men who want to become knights, and there are also a group of children of knight families who have no right to inherit. If Wu Haogu can't meet their needs for land and real estate, can they be counted on to be loyal? Wu Haogu doesn't have such charm!

To meet their demand for land, Wu Haogu would have to take Xijin Mansion and even more Liao land in the future.

If the imperial court wants to make peace with the Liao State and wants to return the land of Yanshan Mansion to the Liao State, hehe...... Take away people's land and kill your parents! Wu Haogu's subordinates are all filial sons, so won't they work hard when the time comes?

"Shiro!" Wu Haogu looked at Huang Zhisheng.

Huang Zhisheng immediately understood, "Jie Shuai, go to Shamen Island under the official, and bring back the magic weapon that broke the city." ”

"Okay, it's time to use it!" Wu Haogu nodded, "Send you a galley warship, you must go and return quickly, it will be too late for the boundary river to freeze." ”

……

"Your Majesty, Gao Yu's army is likely to have crossed the Yellow River."

Xiangzhou, on the north bank of Tangshui, in the imperial tent of the Emperor of Daliao, Yelu Yanxi got a piece of news that made him a little confused.

"Quite possibly?" Yelu Yanxi was stunned.

Xiao Fengxian, the privy envoy of the Northern Court and the head of the imperial camp, said: "Your Majesty, the horses we sent to the distant barricades around Julu County encountered the Song Army's iron cavalry, all of which were teams of 50 or 100 people. Half-armed, armourless, armed with spears and bows, they can both shoot on horseback and charge in groups. And their horses are good, they are all good horses in the Western Regions. Our people are not opponents, so it will be difficult to find out the information. ”

It turned out that Gao Yu sent cavalry to sweep away the Liao's distant horses. The number of cavalry he brought from Lingzhou was small, but the combat effectiveness was very strong and the equipment was very good. Not only does it have a Qizi armor (produced in Lingzhou), but it also has a good horse (Xiji horse) introduced from Beiting (Gaochang) and Broken Leaves, although it is not as good as the Tianjin knights equipped with Tianjin horses, but it is much stronger than the Liao army Yuanyuan Blocker who uses Khitan horses.

Therefore, as soon as the 2,000 elite cavalry under Gao Yu crossed the Yellow River, they swept away the Liao Guoyuan Horse between the mainland and the Yellow River.

However, Gao Yu's cavalry is limited after all, and can only shield the actions of his own army, and it is impossible to reconnoiter and find out the reality of the Liao army.

So both sides can now only guess each other's actions based on limited intelligence.
