"I invite the two generals here today to talk about something." Zheng Zhi said here and looked up at the two people in front of him, but for Wang Yu and Hu Yanzhuo, Zheng Zhi opened his mouth first. The two of them were no better than Ruda and the others, they didn't say a word and just waited for the crowd to be excited, so Zheng Zhi took the initiative to speak directly.

Wang Yu and Hu Yanzhuo are not familiar with each other, but at this time they glanced at each other, Wang Yu first said: "Xianggong's order is that the last general can go into battle with Xianggong again, it is really a great honor. ”

Hu Yanzhuo also continued: "In this life, I can meet Xianggong on the battle array, that is, there is a spirit on the ancestors, and the generations of military generals of the Huyan clan have been seven generations now, and they have never dared to fall into the name of their ancestors. But there are big and small errands, and the princess orders it. ”

Obviously, Wang Yu and Hu Yanzhuo also knew that Zheng Zhi really had something important to talk about today, and as soon as Zheng Zhi spoke, the two immediately expressed a more firm attitude.

Zheng Zhi was also a little less worried when he heard this, nodded and said: "Today is different from the past, Tokyo has come to order me to go north to attack Liao, not to kill or injure a husband, and to wait for Yanyun's people to come and surrender." Tong Taishi and a certain are extremely difficult, both of them are generals on the battlefield, and they must understand the joints, the princes of Tokyo are not connected to the tragic war, and they have come up with such a strategy with the minds of the literati in the saint. Why is this war? I also wanted to hear what the two generals were thinking. ”

Zheng Zhi said, the faces of the two changed, and they also showed embarrassed looks, Hu Yanzhuo is a Hebei general, he knows a lot about Liao, and it is really a bit whimsical to wait for someone to surrender.

Wang Yu is a pure warrior, that is, when he was trapped in Taiyuan, he surrendered in front of the holy decree, and he also ignored the holy decree and continued to hold on to the city of Taiyuan.

The minds of the two are much simpler and firmer than Tong Guan.

Wang Yu had already opened his mouth first: "Xianggong Mingjian, the thieves of the rebellion are still trapped in the beast's fight, not to mention the Liao people of the foreign race, how can they come to surrender." The general of the official family will not dare to discuss it without authorization, but it is the way of this battle formation, which is to kill decisively, and this time the army is all ready, and it is appropriate to launch an attack immediately. ”

Wang Yu was much simpler-minded, and said what he thought directly, although he said that he did not dare to discuss the holy decree without authorization, but he did not hide it.

Hu Yanzhuo also said: "What General Wang said is extremely true, the government's plan is inappropriate, it is really embarrassing, the last general is just a petty official, and he can't control the affairs of the court, but the last general is in the army, but he knows how to follow the military order, and he doesn't dare to shirk it in the slightest." ”

Hu Yanzhuo is obviously a little smarter than Wang Yu, but he doesn't seem to be very sleek. Hu Yanzhuo means that Zheng Zhi will do whatever he commands. But it also slightly expresses a little bit of irresponsibility. It means that everything you do is to do what you are told, and you don't know anything else.

Zheng Zhi naturally understood, but he didn't care, he only thought that things were going smoother than he imagined, and said again: "The meaning of the two generals is already known." The two of them first went back to their troops to reorganize their armaments and wait for the military order, and when they thought about it a few more times and made a decision, they asked the two generals to act according to the order and not delay, so as to prevent the army from vacant and the battle could not be won. ”

Zheng Zhi's words were naturally instructing the two, and he also said it more seriously. The implication is that the two must not drag their feet, so as not to lose the overall situation.

Wang Yu got up and arched his hand: "The last general will get the order, and he will definitely not dare to lose the overall situation!" ”

Hu Yanzhuo also got up and said, "The last general will never benefit himself in vain with hundreds of thousands of troops. ”

Zheng Zhi nodded, also stood up, and said: "Thank you for the kindness of the two generals, if you win this battle, you can take the first credit!" ”

"The last general will do the work, don't dare to take credit!" Wang Yu replied.

"Victory in the voluntary war, the luck of the family and the country, and the life of the family will be entrusted to Zheng Xianggong!" Hu Yanzhuo also said.

Zheng Zhi nodded, no longer speaking, the words have come to this, nothing needs to be said.

The two turned around and walked out, and Zheng Zhi had already breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Yong saw the two of them come out, and hurriedly walked into the big tent, and after giving his hand, he saw Zheng Zhi nodded, and he also breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Xianggong can act." ”

Even if Wu Yong didn't know what Zheng Zhi was going to do, he knew that this time he could start.

Zheng Zhi turned around and sat on the seat, frowned and said, "I have a secret letter, you give it to Yan Qing and ask him to send someone to stay here, but it has to be handed over to Master Tong himself." ”

Zheng Zhi has already begun to prepare for some things after the incident, and Tong Guan must take care of it. Hearing this, Wu Yong leaned over and took out a pen and paper from his desk and put it on top of Zheng Zhi's case, and then turned back to find the wax block. When you're ready, head out on your own.

Zheng Zhi tore off a small piece of paper, picked up a pen and wrote a few words, after the ink dried, folded it, melted the wax block and wrapped it, and gently pressed it with a private seal on the wax pill, and when the wax pill was completely dry, he shouted: "Pedant, come in." ”

Wu Yong was naturally waiting outside the door, and he also knew that Zheng Zhi wrote a secret letter, and it was inconvenient for him to read it. At this time, he heard Zheng Zhi's words, came in the door, and took the wax pill handed over by Zheng Zhi.

"This letter must be kept confidential, so Yan Qing must be cautious, and the person entrusted must be extremely trustworthy and not disclosed." Zheng Zhi admonished.

Wu Yong nodded, put away the wax pills, and replied: "Don't worry, Xianggong has someone in the heart of the student who sent the letter, and it is the person from the Daimyo Mansion." ”

The person in the Daimyo Mansion that Wu Yong said, Zheng Zhi naturally knew who it was, it was the one who arranged the mutiny and took the lead in rushing into the Daimyo's Mansion, and he also felt that he could be trusted in his heart, so he didn't say more.

Early in the morning of the second day, Zheng Zhi had just gotten up when he was called by Tong Guan.

When Zheng Zhi arrived at the big tent, there were only Tong Guan and Cai You in the big tent, and he only heard Tong Guan speak: "The information will come back from the north early in the morning, and the Liao people have broken Zhongjing." ”

Zheng Zhiyan asked: "Enxiang, the Jin people are not good at attacking cities, why did they break through Zhongjing so quickly?" ”

"The Liao people are empty in Zhongjing, Yelu Yu is on the verge of rebellion, there are very few defenders in Zhongjing, and the Liao people directly abandon the city and flee, Jin has Zhongjing, and the soldiers are not bloody." Tong Guan replied.

When Zheng Zhi heard this, he walked to the map hanging in the big tent and took a few looks, and said: "Thinking about it this way, the Liao people only have Bei'an Prefecture (Chengde) as a barrier, and Bei'an Prefecture, Songting Pass, and Gubeikou are the only barriers. is already about to enter the land of Yanyun in the customs, and you can directly take Yanjing. At this time, the Liao people must have heavy troops to defend in these places. ”

Tong Guan nodded and said, "Yes, the Liao people only have Nanjing (that is, Yanjing) and Xijing." I also heard that the Liao Emperor was also in Nanjing at this time. With the Jin Ren Bing Peak, the Liao people are afraid that the land of the city will be lost. ”

Tong Guan's words came out, but his face was urgent. The Liao people attacked the city so quickly, and they were still dragging their feet, and if they dragged it on, Yanyun would become the bag of the golden people.

The meaning of Tong Guan's words is also here, and it is these things that are anxious.

I only heard Cai You's face with joy, and said: "This is just right, the barbarians are about to go south, and the people of Yanyun will definitely miss their homeland even more, and if they wait for a few days, there will be countless people who come to vote." ”

Tong Guan shook his head again and again when he heard this, although he was eager in his heart, but he was still in a dilemma despite the current holy decree.

Zheng Zhi stood up and said: "Don't worry, what Master Cai said is very true, the lower officials will go back to the big tent first, and sit back and wait for Yan Yun to vote." ”

Zheng Zhi's words, Tong Guan's face was shocked, his eyes hurriedly looked at Zheng Zhi, and he was extremely puzzled in his heart, where did Zheng Zhi say this kind of words, and hurriedly asked: "Zheng Zhi, do you really think so?" ”

Zheng Zhi nodded and said: "Don't worry, that's what I think, go back and rest for a while, yesterday Master Cai has already sent someone to send the list out, and within two or three days, someone will definitely come to vote." ”

Zheng Zhi naturally said the scene, and it was also a cover for his next thing. But Zheng Zhi's words also said some things, that is, someone will really vote. This person's name is Guo Yaoshi, and there are 8,000 capable soldiers under his command, known as the "Resentment Army", stationed in Yizhou (Yi County), that is, west of Xiongzhou and north of Baozhou (Baoding).

But this Guo Yaoshi is not a good person, the famous three-surname slave in history, as a general of the Liao State, first descended to the Great Song Dynasty, and then descended to the Jurchen. He fought a lot of battles for the Liao State, and also fought a lot of battles for the Great Song Dynasty, and because of the assistance of the Great Song Dynasty, there were more and more soldiers under his command, so many that he couldn't control it, and Zhao Ji even had to crown Guo Yaoshi as the king of Yan, and give him the sixteen states of Yanyun to be stationed for generations. When the Jurchens went south, Guo Yaoshi couldn't defeat them, so he surrendered Dajin again, making a lot of contributions to the Jurchens.

Zheng Zhi naturally didn't remember such a thing as Pharmacist Guo, and he couldn't care so much, but he knew that if Yan Yun didn't fight, it would be impossible for someone to send it.

There is a more important problem, without Yanyun, Hebei is a horse and a flat river, there is no barrier in the country, and when the Jin people go south, there will be no dangerous place to defend, only avenues. Hundreds of miles of border, the Jin people came to the south randomly, Zheng Zhi is firefighters, and it is difficult to garrison them one by one, and when the time comes, they will inevitably be in a hurry, and the people on the border who have been peaceful for a hundred years can only be slaughtered and slaughtered.

Tong Guan was still a little confused, I don't know why Zheng Zhi suddenly changed his attitude, he still looked at Zheng Zhi suspiciously, and asked again: "If Yan Yun doesn't come to vote and falls into the hands of the golden people, what is good?" ”

What Tong Guan said at this time was really a prophecy, and in the entire sixteen states of Yanyun, only Guo Yaoshi came to vote. What to do? Spend money to buy, the historical Tong Guan went north in April, and after the defeat, he spent a lot of money to buy empty cities from the Jurchens, real empty cities, not to mention food and property, even the old and weak, women and children, were coerced by the Jurchens to go north.

Zheng Zhi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Yan Yun will come to vote." Xia Guan went back first. ”

After speaking, Zheng Zhi arched his hand, Tong Guan's puzzled look did not decrease, but he nodded, and Zheng Zhi turned around and left.

Tong Guan's current hesitation is fully revealed, others say that Yan Yun will come to surrender, but Tong Guan doesn't believe it. said that Yan Yun would not come to surrender, Tong Guan had some hopes, thinking that someone might come to vote.

A holy decree in front of him is the real reason for Tong Guan's hesitation and entanglement.

Cai You nodded again and again, but he didn't doubt, he just thought that Zheng Zhi had really figured it out, but yesterday's impeachment had been sent to Tokyo, and Cai You was already an old god at this time, waiting for the situation to change.

For Cai You, the best result is that Zheng Zhi is convicted, Yan Yunbing is bloodless, he returns to Beijing with outstanding merits, and the old eunuch Tong has become a toothless old dog.

Zheng Zhi didn't care about these anymore, even Cai You's recital to Tokyo didn't send anyone to intercept it, probably because Hebei is not as good as the northwest, the avenues are all stripes, and there are countless military and Han pedestrians coming and going from the south to the north, and it is difficult to intercept them. Maybe it's mainly because Zheng Zhi really doesn't care about these things, and he knows that he can't hide them for a few days.
