Chapter 239: Catch the ducks on the shelves
Two days later, in the early morning, Chu Tianya finally slept for a while, feeling as if he was about to be paralyzed, lying on the bed and not wanting to get up with his eyes open.
At this time, there was a person outside the door, "My lord, my subordinates have something to report." β
It's Liuhe.
"Come in."
Liuhe came in, cautious and silent. He leaned over to Chu Tianya's side and handed over a piece of paper. Chu Tianya jumped up after seeing it, "Where did you get it?" β
"I don't know." Liuhe replied, "What the sergeant on the city gate picked up seems to have been shot into the city by a sentry arrow." They didn't know what was written on it, so they handed it in. β
"It seems that Suzaku and the nobles have already mixed up with the Wushu......" Chu Tianya hurriedly got up and dressed.
Liuhe said while helping him put on his clothes and pick up his shoes: "Lord, this letter should be written by Suzaku correctly, and his subordinates did not admit their mistakes, and they still used Qingwei's secret language." Since Zongwang's army was less than two hundred miles north of us, why did they withdraw all the men and horses from Hejian and Zhongshan instead of besieging Zhending? β
Chu Tianya said while getting dressed: "You sue me, when you were about to beat someone, what was your arm like?" β
Liuhe was stunned for a moment, made a fist-raising gesture and hurriedly put it down, "What the lord said is that if you want to beat someone, you must first retract your fist and return your arm - accumulate strength!" β
"Zongwang is ready to clean us up." Chu Tianya's brows furrowed heavily, "He is collecting troops and accumulating strength." As long as he throws a punch, it's a crushing blow! β
"We only have less than 10,000 horses, why is Zong Wang still hesitating?" Liuhe Road.
"You know that we only have 10,000 horses, Zong Wang doesn't know!" Chu Tianya said, "He lined up more than 13,000 kidnappers and horses in Zhending, and we cleaned them up overnight. Generally speaking, without three or five times the strength of the Jin soldiers, would the army of our southern kingdom dare to launch an attack on the Jurchens? β
Liuhe's eyes lit up, "The lord is wise!" β
"Go!" Chu Tianya ordered, "I don't care what method you use, tell King SΓΉ Kang about the military situation that Zong Wang's army is about to go south for revenge!" -- The more terrifying the better, and say, he has an army of 300,000! After making a real decision, he will immediately go straight to the Central Plains and win the Tokyo oath to capture the official family! β
"Yes!" Liuhe couldn't help but smile.
Chu Tianya glared at him, "What are you laughing at?" β
"I laugh at the wisdom of the lord, King Kang is going to be driven to the shelves now." Liuhe smiled, "He just wants to stand by and watch, he doesn't show up for two days after we lay down the real capital, and he wants to keep pretending to be dead in Xiangzhou." Now, he really can't pretend anymore. β
"Then you don't go quickly, you're still nagging here!"
"The subordinates will leave immediately and go to Xiangzhou in person!"
After Chu Tianya got up, he immediately called all the leaders of Jiao Wentong. He also did not announce the news that Zongwang's army was about to go south, but asked the army to immediately show the people to build momentum in the city, saying that King Kang was about to come to Zhending in person, and let the people burn incense, sprinkle and sweep, and cover the road to welcome; The sergeants paid attention to the appearance of the army and put on military prestige, ready to welcome King Kang.
The leaders were still a little unhappy when they heard this, and said that we are not King Kang's people, why should we give him a good look and be so flattering to him.
Chu Tianya smiled, "Do you think I'm willing to welcome that King Kang who eats idle food?" - We poked such a big basket, someone should take the black pot and clean up the mess! β
The leaders suddenly realized and laughed.
"Brothers, cheer up!" Chu Tianya laughed loudly, "You just treat King Kang as your own father!" It's okay to blow the whiskers and shoot the horses, this is a military order, do you hear it? β
"Yes!" The leaders laughed as they promised.
As a result, in the afternoon of the same day, King Kang came. Not only did they come, but they also brought 20,000 horses with them - pouring out!
Liuhe entered the city half an hour earlier than King Kang to report the news, saying that he had met King Kang's men and horses halfway through. So he cleverly responded to the situation, saying that he was an envoy sent by the lord to welcome King Kang into the Lord's true determination, and then immediately came back to report the news.
Chu Tianya and the others laughed, "King Kang can't sit still, can't sit still!" He must have heard that we have scraped away the real set and earned all the people's hearts and minds, and he really can't sit still! β
"Let's go, welcome King Kang!"
Chu Tianya and his entourage took the Tiger Ben guards, as well as all the people in the city, and crowded to the gate of Zhending City, and put on a huge formation to welcome King Kang into the city.
King Kang Zhao Gou stationed his men and horses five miles outside the city, and he brought a few generals and more than 100 relatives to the city gate.
When the young Zhao Gou saw the flags flying all over the city, and the people and soldiers cheered loudly, instead of being happy, he sighed, "My life is at stake!" β¦β¦ Chu Tianya, you thief, you are a lot of harm! β
At this time, the thief Chu Tianya walked in front of Zhao Gou and the others on foot with the leaders and representatives of the common gentry, and saluted with a serious fist, "The last general Chu Tianya, fortunately, has taken the Zhending City by not dishonoring His Highness's mission!" --Right now, the last general will lead all the generals and the people to welcome His Highness into the city! β
Zhao Gou was riding on a horse, his face was iron-blue, and his expression seemed to be incomprehensible. He condescendingly looked at the man in front of the horse who was as young as him, and his heart was full of anger, and there was a sense of jealousy rushing left and right, so that he couldn't wait to pull out the horse sword in front of the horse and slash the person in front of the horse!
But Zhao Gou knew very well in his heart that maybe his Shang Fang Horse Slashing Sword had not yet been unsheathed, and the two tower-like giants behind Chu Tianya had already torn him to pieces!
"The Admiral has worked hard. The soldiers have worked hard, and the people have suffered. Zhao Gou rode on a horse and bowed to everyone.
The soldiers and the people burst into deafening cheers.
"Your Highness, please enter the city! - The last general, please lead the stirrup for His Highness! Chu Tianya stepped forward with a smile and led the horse for Zhao Gou.
Chu Tianya's move, which looked like a traitorous and flattering person, made Zhao Gou's heart blocked so much that he almost didn't fall off the horse, and his face turned red.
When Jiao Wentong and others saw it, they also held back their laughter, and they were about to hold back internal injuries.
In this way, Chu Tianya led the horse to Zhao Gou, and entered the Zhending City in the midst of the welcome and kneeling of the sergeants and the people all the way.
A big feast had already been held in the barracks, and triumphant military music was played. After Zhao Gou got off the horse, he rushed directly into the tent with a blushing face, and couldn't hold it anymore, so he lifted the banquet on the table with both hands.
Chu Tianya, Jiao Wentong and the others laughed outside the tent for a while, then restrained their smiles, made a look of sincere fear and entered the tent, and pleaded guilty.
"That's it! You don't have to pretend! Zhao Gou was furious, "All go out - Chu Tianya stays!" β
Chu Tianya waved his hand, and Jiao Wentong and the others went out. He walked up to Zhao Gou and said with a smile: "Why should His Royal Highness King Kang be angry, we have won a big battle, shouldn't we be happy?" β
Zhao Gou turned around and stood in front of Chu Tianya, almost nose to nose with him.
Both of them could see each other's faces clearly.
They are all young, Zhao Gou is quite handsome, and his pampered face is a little pale; Compared with him, Chu Tianya's facial features are resolute and angular, and his eyes are full of evil.
"You are a thief and grass coward, just stay in Hedong obediently and be your mountain king, what kind of chaos do you come to Hebei?" Zhao Gou's words almost popped out from between his teeth, which showed that he was really angry, "Who made you really set?" Who made you really set? Who made you really set? β
In a word, he actually said it three times in a row.
Chu Tianya grinned and smiled, "I let me fight." β
Zhao Gou was angry all of a sudden, he almost didn't suffocate in one breath, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Chu Tianya ignored the majesty of this prince, and still said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Kang, now is not the time to get angry and angry. Wanyan Zongwang's army of 300,000 was less than 200 miles away from Zhending. His iron cavalry is coming from day to night, and in an instant he will step on the real determination and then go straight to the Central Plains. Your Highness, did you hurry up and report to the imperial court and make plans early? β
"Does this king still use what you teach him to do?" Zhao Gou was really angry, and in a hurry, he even said this kind of thing that should not be told to Chu Tianya.
"That's good." Chu Tianya smiled, "The last general has long hoped that the imperial court will send the king as soon as possible, and he will really fight to the death with the Jin soldiers!" β
"Chu Tianya, you! ......" Zhao Gou trembled with anger, "You chaotic thief!" If the Great Song dies, it will be your sin! β
"Yes, it's my sin." Chu Tianya was not in a hurry and still smiled, "My fault is that I held Taiyuan, repelled Yan Zonghan, and then recovered Zhending and annihilated more than 10,000 enemies." Even if these things are written in history, Chu dares to let future generations comment on them. If there are those who have no heart and eyes and accuse me of being a traitor, then I will admit it. β
"You don't put gold on your face!" Zhao Gou said angrily, "You acted without authorization to startle the grass and snakes, and provoked the Jin State in vain, and when the time comes, the army of the country will go south, how can the Great Song Dynasty resist?" β
Chu Tianya sneered, "According to His Highness, we can't provoke the Jin Kingdom, we can only serve them like our ancestors, right?" He hit us on the left cheek, and we're going to have to put the right cheek up for him to pump, right? - Angered by Zongwang, he raised an army to destroy the Song Dynasty; If he doesn't get angry, he doesn't want to destroy Song? If the Jin Kingdom wants to invade the south, does it really need a reason? Is it really more humiliating to put the battlefield on the ground and block the enemy from the country than if the Jin Kingdom besieged Tokyo? β
The words made Zhao Gou tremble all over, but he was speechless.
"His Royal Highness King Kang, the heart of the Jin Kingdom will not die, we don't have to hide our ears and steal the bell." Chu Tianya said, "Chu's purpose in laying down the real determination is to startle the grass and disrupt the military plan of the Jin State. Even if we fought a decisive battle with it in Zhending, it would be better than letting Zongwang's hundreds of thousands of troops go straight to the Central Plains. I know that this will push His Royal Highness King Kang to the forefront, and you will not be able to survive but die-but, if you stay in Xiangzhou without moving, will you be able to steal peace? There are wilted eggs under the nest, if Tokyo is gone, His Royal Highness will hide in Xiangzhou with 20,000 soldiers and horses, can he be a turtle with a shrunken head for the rest of his life? β
"You are presumptuous!" Zhao Gou was furious.
"You just know?" Chu Tianya smiled unimpressedly, "If I hadn't been presumptuous, I would have been a ghost in Taiyuan last year." Today, I can still stand in front of His Highness and speak, and I can still annihilate more than 10,000 enemies and recover Zhending with 8,000 tired soldiers, all because I am presumptuous enough, shameless enough, and not afraid of death! β
Zhao Gou was slightly stunned, "You only have eight thousand soldiers and horses?" β
"Now there are six thousand left." Chu Tianya said lightly, "Half of them are injured. β
Zhao Gou's eyes widened, and his mouth trembled a little, "You, your eight thousand soldiers dare to fight really?" There are more than 13,000 garrisons here, all of whom are Jin Guojing riding kidnappers and horses! β¦β¦ You are crazy! β
Seeing Zhao Gou's expression, Chu Tianya's heart blossomed: This kid must have thought that I had tens of thousands of troops, and maybe even brought 100,000 Hedong main forces out of the nest to lay the true determination. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to take over Zhending with only 20,000 horses - haha, this kid went to the ocean, thinking that Zhending had at least tens of thousands of garrisons, but he didn't expect that there were only a few thousand remnants left!
Zhao Gou's face showed a trace of fear, and he regretted it very much!
Chu Tianya secretly snickered, like an old fox who had succeeded in his conspiracy.
"Your Highness, you have to do your best to urge the court. The men and horses stationed in the Yellow River should go north as much as possible to strengthen the Zhending defense. Chu Tianya said bitterly, "Zong Wang's men and horses will come to Zhending City in a few days. The last general, I'm really worried about His Highness! β
When Zhao Gou heard that something was wrong, he hurriedly said, "Are you going to run away?" β
"Why did Your Highness say so ugly, how could the last general run away?" Chu Tianya said with a smile, "I was originally the general of Hedong, and there are still most of my main forces there, and I am making every effort to defend against the invasion of Wanyan Zonghan, the western route army of the Jin Kingdom. The two gates of the Great Song Dynasty are all guarded by His Royal Highness and the end of the future. The last general went to Hebei on a whim to play. Now, it's time to go back and guard the West Gate! β
"You! β¦β¦ You bastard! You are shameless and shameless! Zhao Gou was really angry, he forgot the cultivation and bearing that a prince should have, and scolded and exploded, "You attracted the main army of the Jin Kingdom to the East Road and laid out the main battlefield to Zhending, and then you slapped your ass and slipped away!" How can there be such a brazen person as you in the world! β
"Scold, scold! The harder His Highness scolded, the more right Chu did. Chu Tianya smiled indifferently, "Because at the moment, this Great Song Dynasty, a person who dares to do things like Chu is about to die." If there were ten people like Chu Tianya who dared to play with the Jurchen army, they would not be so arrogant! β
"Phew!!" Zhao Gou's voice made his teeth almost spit out.
"Your Highness, let's calm your anger, Hugh is going to hurt your body." Chu Tianya said with a smile, "Oh, this good banquet has been thrown on the table, it's a pity, there has always been a shortage of food and things in the city!" Chu immediately asked someone to prepare another banquet for His Royal Highness to pick up the wind and wash the dust. Your Highness, don't lift it again! β
"Is there really a shortage of food and materials? This is Jinguo's largest granary money bank in Hebei! This sentence seemed to remind Zhao Gou, and he rushed to Chu Tianya again with a spirit, "You spit out the things for me!" β
Chu Tianya was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth, and showed Zhao Gou the gap between his teeth, "I drank a bowl of porridge and chewed two steamed buns this morning, I can't spit it out!" β
"You! β¦β¦ Disgusting! Zhao Gou almost vomited, he avoided a few steps and yelled in disgust, "Hand over everything you scavenged in Zhending!" β
"Hey, I robbed the Jurchens, why did I hand them over?" Chu Tianya said blankly, "Your Highness went to Zhending City to inquire, has Chu's army ever robbed the people of a stitch?" If there was half a copper plate, I would have taken a few thousand brothers and walked bare-bottomed. We are desperately trying to pull things from the corpses of the Jurchens, they are trophies, they are the money that the brothers have paid for their lives - if His Royal Highness King Kang admits that he is the king of Hades, I will return all this money to you! β
Zhao Gou was going crazy.
"Yes! This king is the king of Hades! β
"Haha!" Chu Tianya laughed, "Then Your Highness hurriedly set up a checkpoint on the Nai He Bridge and collect bridge tolls - the lonely souls and wild ghosts of nearly 10,000 Jin Kingdom are waiting to cross the bridge, and after collecting that money, King Kang will be able to get rich overnight!" Our brothers are still alive, so let's keep three or two copper plates waiting to buy porridge and steamed buns! β
"You're not going to hand it over?"
"No. I can't hand it over if I want to! Chu Tianya said with a hippie smile, "Your Highness doesn't know that Chu is a thief." The looted things were divided with the brothers on the spot. Drinking wine in big bowls, eating meat, and dividing gold and silver -- what was given to the brothers, how could there be any reason to want it back? Besides, those gold, silver, wine, and meat, which had long been eaten and drunk by the brothers, would no longer be spent on women. His Royal Highness really had to ask for it, so Chu had no choice but to pull back the feces and urine pulled out by the brothers and the things left in the mother-in-law's bodies and handed them to His Highness! β
Zhao Gou is about to vomit blood!
I'm really going to vomit blood!
He staggered a few steps to hold on to the pillar, retched a few times, and was dizzy.
"Ouch, why is Your Highness's young body so weak?" Chu Tianya stepped forward nervously, and stroked Zhao Gou's back, "Take care, Hebei Guomen, but you can count on Your Highness!" β
"Get outβ"
Zhao Gou roared hoarsely!
"Then, the last general will retire!" Chu Tianya smiled and slipped out.
"Ahh
Chu Tianya, Jiao Wentong and the others laughed and slipped away like a swarm.
"My lord, my subordinates have already found out that the battle of Zhending has just started, and King Kang has already rushed six hundred miles to ask for help from the imperial court! It is estimated that now, more than 100,000 garrisons along the Yellow River in the Great Song Dynasty have rushed to Zhending! "Liuhe's intelligence work has been done very well.
"The order goes down, and from now on, no one shall leave the barracks for half a step. The whole army is ready to purge at any time, pull out the village and set up camp! β
"Yes!!"
After getting Zhao Gou, the master who mends the basket and wipes his buttocks, Chu Tianya decisively gave an order.
