In the palace of Zhuqiguo, Liu Ji heard Ding Lin confidently say that according to his plan, he could collect all Languan County, Yaoguan County, Xizhu County and Xiping County of Yongjing County within half a month, and couldn't help asking: "Lao Ding, what is your plan?" ”

Ding Lin said with a smile: "Lord, now we have the will given by the imperial court, and our Ju'an Army has accepted these four counties, and it is to deal with the upcoming Gaochang Army, this is the righteousness in the hands of our Ju'an Army, anyone who violates this righteousness will be a sinner of the Great Jin, and when the time comes, we only need to let a few cavalry battalions stay in Ju'an County, with the will of the imperial court, go and take over these four counties, if the speed is fast, maybe it won't even be needed for half a month."

Liu Ji frowned and asked, "It's as simple as that, the generals of the four counties of Yongjing County can easily hand over their military power and territory?" ”

Ding Lin continued: "Lord, Languan County is in the hands of the Jiangmen Zhang family, and its army is about three thousand, Yaoguan County is in the hands of the Jiangmen Liu family, and its army is about three thousand, Xizhu County is in the hands of the Jiangmen Zhao family, and its army is about four thousand, and the last Xiping County is in the hands of the Jiangmen Qian family, and its army is almost five thousand troops. The tens of thousands of cavalry of our Jing'an Army can completely attack it on behalf of the imperial court. ”

Liu Ji understood what Ding Lin meant, that is, he held up the righteousness in one hand and the stick in the other, and if he did not obey the righteousness, he directly waved the stick and began to beat people.

Ding Lin then said: "Lord, in extraordinary times, we must use extraordinary methods, the army of Gaochang Kingdom may arrive at some point, we have to get the four counties of Yongjing County as soon as possible, in case we can't hold on in Zhuqiguo and Xuju County, we can also retreat to the four counties of Yongjing County to continue to hold on, so as not to be driven back to Ju'an County by Gaochangguo's army at once." ”

Liu Ji thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "Then follow your plan, we are in Zhuqiguo and Xuju County's cavalry troops can not move, immediately send the will of the imperial court back to Ju'an County, let the eight cavalry battalions left in Ju'an County, transfer a few, led by Su Lie, to take over Languan County, Yaoguan County, Xizhu County and Xiping County of Yongjing County, those who disobey the will of the imperial court will be dealt with as the crime of treason, and the nine clans will be punished!" ”

After a pause, Liu Ji said again: "In addition, send Su Lie a batch of diamonds, as long as the four generals are willing to give up the territory and military power of the four counties, each family can give diamonds worth 50,000 taels of gold." ”

Ding Lin nodded and said, "My lord's method must be able to get twice the result with half the effort." ”

On January 10, 427 of the Great Jin Dynasty, outside Languan County, Yongjing County, more than 100,000 cavalry of the Ju'an Army came to this place in a mighty way, and camped outside Languan City without any scruples.

In fact, among the more than 100,000 cavalry, there are only 40,000 real cavalry of the Ju'an Army, and the remaining nearly 100,000 people, except for 30,000 infantry, nearly 70,000 are auxiliary soldiers of the Ju'an Army, and the infantry and auxiliaries all come on war horses.

The 40,000 cavalry included the four cavalry battalions of Su Lie, Zhou Kai, Wu Liang, and Qu Tutong, while the 30,000 infantry were the two infantry battalions of Li Xin and Meng Wu.

After Su Lie ordered the whole army to camp outside Languan City, he sent someone to send an ultimatum to Languan City, limiting Languan City to open the city gate and let the Tortoise Army enter the city to take over the city defense, otherwise the Juan Army would launch an attack on Languan City on the grounds that the Zhang family of Languan City disobeyed the will of the imperial court.

Zhou Kai, who was standing beside Su Lie, frowned and asked, "Brother Su, can the Zhang family in Languan City open the city gate?" ”

Su Lie said with a smile: "This time we brought more than 100,000 troops, although it includes 70,000 auxiliary soldiers, but Languan City will not know that we have only half of the soldiers here, these hundreds of thousands of troops are piled up outside Languan City, and we have the will of the imperial court in our hands, and the lord also promised to give diamonds worth 50,000 taels of gold, as long as the people of the Zhang family in Languan City are not all stunned, then within an hour, the gate of Languan City will definitely be opened." ”

"What if the Zhang family in Languan City is stubborn to the end?"

"Didn't I bring the two infantry battalions of Li Xin and Mengwu, if the Zhang family of Languan City doesn't know how to lift, then launch a strong attack and knock down Languan City, now the army of Gaochang Kingdom may arrive in Zhuqi Country when it will be, we must lay this back road as soon as possible for the Lord, once Zhuqiguo and Xuju County can't hold on, the Lord can lead the troops to temporarily retreat to Yongjing County."

In the meeting hall of the Zhang family compound in Languan City, the partial general Zhang Gao and the large and small generals in Languan City gathered here, but this is useful in Languan City, in addition to the partial general Zhang Gao, only his two brothers, three sons and five nephews, all of whom are members of the Zhang family, as for the generals with foreign surnames, they have no right to speak at all in Languan City, and the military power of the entire Languan City is also controlled by these people of the Zhang family.

Languan City is also the same as many county towns on the northern border of the Great Jin Dynasty, the county order has been vacant for many years, and the entire Languan City and Languan County are under the control of the Zhang family.

General Zhang Gao sighed and said, "Let's talk about it, what should we do next?" Now the hundreds of thousands of cavalry of Liu Taishou of Jue'an County are just outside our Languan City, and they have only given us an hour to think about it. ”

Zhang Gao's younger brother Zhang Hong said bitterly: "A few days ago, we have received an official document from the imperial court, this time the imperial court not only gave our Languan County to that Liu Taishou, but also Yongjing County's Yaoguan County, Xizhu County and Xiping County also assigned to that Liu Taishou, and now that Liu Taishou's hundreds of thousands of cavalry came to Languan County, it seems that Languan County is determined to win, I think we still know some current affairs!" Otherwise, alas—"

At this time, Zhang Chi, the eldest son of the partial general Zhang Gao, said urgently: "Father, uncle, our Zhang family has been running Languan City and Languan County like this for so many years, how can we give it up in vain!" ”

Zhang Gao's other younger brother Zhang Bao said helplessly: "What if you don't let me out?" There are more than 100,000 cavalry outside! You must know that the cavalry under the command of Liu Taishou has defeated hundreds of thousands of Khitan cavalry, and the border army of our Languan City is only 3,000 people, and the total number of young and strong men in the city is less than 20,000. ”

General Zhang Gao sighed again, "Forget it, there is nothing to discuss in the discussion, in the current situation, we actually have no second way to choose, but that Liu Taishou is quite generous, as long as we hand over Languan City and Languan County, we can get diamonds worth 50,000 taels of gold, and our Zhang family children can also continue to serve in the army under Liu Taishou." ”
