In the main hall of Cai's mansion, Cai Jing looked at Wu Yong and said expressionlessly: "After the old man's persuasion, the saint has agreed to canonize General Poliao as the king of Guangyang County!" ”

Wu Yong shouted angrily: "What we talked about earlier is the King of Yan, the King of One Word. It's not a county king! ”

Cai Jing said with an unkind face: "Don't you don't know what's wrong, the county king is already the greatest tolerance of the imperial court." If you canonize as the king of Yan, how can the saint explain to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, you don't have to be delusional! ”

Wu Yong stared at Cai Jing without saying a word. Cai Jing picked up the tea bowl and didn't speak. For a while, the atmosphere in the hall was extremely heavy.

After a long time, Wu Yong finally spoke: "We want to determine the title of King of Xiangjun!" ”

The honorific title is not a trivial matter, indicating where the fief is. Dingxiang is much bigger than Guangyang, if it is a big Song city, maybe there is still a need to argue.

However, for the Great Song Dynasty, whether it is Guangyang or Dingxiang, it is the city of Liao, whether it is Guangyang or Dingxiang, there is not much difference.

Cai Jing pondered for a moment and said, "This problem is not big, I can persuade the Holy Lord!" But when will you hand over the four states to the imperial court? ”

Wu Yong shook his feather fan and said: "It is not a trivial matter to hand over the government affairs of the four states, as long as the holy decree is issued, within three months, the imperial court can send troops to garrison!" ”

Cai Jing nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go into the palace to meet the Holy Lord later, and let him make a decree as soon as possible!" ”

Wu Yong took out a piece of paper from his coat pocket and said, "General Poliao canonized the king of the county and has the right to open the mansion and build teeth." This is the list of officials in the palace he drew up, and he also asked the Taishi to ask the Holy Decree to be canonized when he arrives! ”

Cai Jing took it and took a look, but it was just the official positions of the palace's routine long history, Cheng, joining the army, and the chief bookkeeper. Although there are several names in it, Cai Jing looks familiar. But the county kings are all sealed, and these petty officials don't care at all.

Cai Jing put it in his pocket, nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

Wu Yong hurriedly stood up and arched his hand and said, "Master Xie, the lower official will go back and wait for good news!" ”

……

Wu Yong carried the holy decree in his arms, rode a fast horse, and under the escort of a hundred or so guards, he hurried back to Jeju with a whip.

In the Jeju Mansion, Wu Yong sat down and drank tea and took a breath.

It didn't take long for Lin Chong, who heard the news, to rush over.

As soon as he walked in, Lin Chong hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Long time no see, Mr. Jia Liang." I don't know if Mr. is here today, could it be that the marshal has a mission? ”

Wu Yong didn't answer, he took out the holy decree in his arms and handed it to Lin Chong.

Lin Chong saw it and hurriedly took it and opened it. Seeing that the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty canonized the marshal as the king of Dingxiang County, Lin Chong's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "Sir, this holy decree is true!" ”

Wu Yong nodded and said, "Of course it's true!" ”

Hearing the affirmative reply, Lin Chong shouted excitedly, "Great, the marshal has been canonized as the king of the county!" Hahaha...... Unexpectedly, the faint monarch was still wise, knowing that the marshal had worked hard and made great achievements, and specially canonized the marshal as the king of the county! ”

Wu Yong shook his head and said, "General Lin, don't think about it. This king of Dingxiang County was exchanged by the marshal for the land of Jeju, Yizhou, Yanzhou, and Mizhou and the faint king. Otherwise, do you think that the faint king would be so kind and canonize the marshal as the king of the county? ”

Hearing Wu Yong say that this county king was going to be exchanged for four states, Lin Chong was taken aback. He shouted angrily: "Mr. Jialiang, these four states have been bought by many generals in exchange for their lives, how can they be easily discarded!" ”

Wu Yong hurriedly said: "General Lin, I know that it is not easy to seize these four states. But you have to know that the marshal conquered Liaoyang Mansion and captured Liaodong. The Liao State will certainly not give up and will definitely send a large army to encircle and suppress. In the next battle, the Liao State will likely be attacked with all the strength of the country, and I am afraid that our army will face a Liao army of seven or eight hundred thousand. Our army is already struggling in the face of this army of nearly one million, and if we scatter our troops and horses in two places and keep an eye on the two countries at the same time, we will be in danger of annihilation if we are not careful. In view of this, the marshal decided to ask General Lin to lead his troops to Liaoyang and gather the strength of the whole army to fight with the Liao State. Because of this, the marshal will return the land of the four states to the Great Song Dynasty in exchange for an honorific title! ”

When Lin Chong heard this, his anger calmed down. He said a little unwillingly: "Even if you want to mobilize a large army to fight a decisive battle with the Liao army, you don't have to hand over the four states." ”

Wu Yong shook his head and said: "If our army wants to fight a decisive battle with the Liao State, it needs a lot of materials, grain and grass, and these need to be prepared from the side of the Great Song Dynasty. If the Great Song knew that the marshal had transferred the army away, do you think the Great Song would be indifferent? Once troops are sent to attack these four states, this is tantamount to the Great Song Dynasty and our army openly tearing their faces. At that time, it will be difficult for our army to obtain supplies from the Great Song Dynasty. And the remaining little soldiers and horses have to be stationed in several states, does General Lin think our army can hold on? ”

Originally, there were only 30,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Shandong, and if you want to fight a decisive battle with the Liao army, the more the better. Otherwise, if you win the Liao army, you will attack the city, and what soldiers and horses will be used to garrison the city.

However, these 30,000 soldiers and horses have been transferred, how can it be possible to hold the land and live in the four states with only two or three thousand soldiers and horses.

"This ......," Lin Chong was silent.

Wu Yong saw that Lin Chong was still a little unwilling, so he persuaded him: "General Lin, don't worry, these four states are just temporarily handed over to the Great Song Dynasty for management." As long as our army defeats the Liao army, the strategy will defeat the opponent's forces. At that time, our army will be able to occupy the territory of Liao. Compared with the vast territory of Liao, the land of the four states is nothing. After our army completely pacifies the Liao State, with the ambition of the marshal and the strength of our army, don't talk about these four states, I am afraid that the north and south of the river will be the territory of the marshal! Which is more important, General Lin has to distinguish clearly! ”

Hearing Wu Yong's persuasion, Lin Chong completely understood why the marshal wanted to give up these four states.

Gather strength, compete with the Liao State, then occupy the Liao State, and then annex the Great Song Dynasty!

Lin Chong thought that if the marshal won Kyushu in the future, he was afraid that the territory he would govern might be even larger. Besides, the marshal mobilized a large army to go to Liaoyang, and the opportunity to make contributions to his own career also came. I have been sitting in the rear and wasting my skills.

Thinking about it, Lin Chong hurriedly arched his hand and said, "If it weren't for Mr. reminding, Lin Chong would have almost made a mistake!" I'll mobilize my troops and horses and prepare to cross the sea to Liaoyang! ”

Wu hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop: "Slow, General Lin." Not to mention that if the Liao State wants to gather hundreds of thousands, it will inevitably take a lot of time. And we exchanged these four states to the Great Song Dynasty, and we can't cheapen the Great Song Dynasty in vain. I have already discussed with the Great Song Dynasty, and it will be three months before I exchange these four states to the Great Song Dynasty. General Lin can take advantage of this time to take away all the treasury, taxes and silver of the Sizhou City! ”

Lin Chong smiled when he heard it and said, "Don't worry, sir, Lin Chong is provincial!" ”

Wu said with his hand: "In this way, the matter of transporting materials is entrusted to General Lin." There's something else to do with the brightness, so I'll take my leave first! ”

Lin Chong hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Send sir!" ”

……

On April 27, Wu Yong rushed back to Dengzhou.

In a room in a three-room house not far from the Dengzhou Mansion, Uncle Zhang Ye and Zong Ze sat opposite each other and talked.

Although he was a captive, he still refused to submit. But Uncle Zhang Ye and Zong Ze were still courteous to Shi Jin.

They are all placed in a courtyard in Dengzhou, and they can move freely in the city, but they will be followed by guards!

Freedom was restricted, coupled with nothing to do, since being captured, Uncle Zhang Yeshu and Zong Ze often played chess to pass the time.

Both of them are true gentlemen, and in the game, both sides need to be silent. The room was silent, and only when the pieces were on the board would there be a crisp sound.

Just as the two of them were seriously thinking about the next step, a voice suddenly came from outside the room.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Zong, Wu Yong is here to visit!"
