Xiao Linglong's extremely manly eyebrows raised slightly, and she said with a little sense of raising her eyebrows: "From the day the Jurchen started the army, it was known as 'the Jurchen is not more than 10,000, and 10,000 are invincible', and Wanyan Zongwang has not been defeated in his life. The battle of Wutong Plains really exhausted their prestige! ”

"Majestic? How much is a pound of prestige! Chu Tianya smiled, "My purpose is to make chaos in the Jin Kingdom!" The more messy the better! ”

"Huh?!" Xiao Linglong is such a smart person, coupled with the full understanding between her and Chu Tianya, her heart lit up at the moment, and said, "You insist on letting Yan Zongwang go back, that's what you mean?" ”

"Not bad." The corners of Chu Tianya's mouth raised slightly, and his face was treacherous, "Above the court of the Jin Kingdom, there is also a partisan dispute." A group of people headed by Wanyan Zonghan, the son of the prime minister of the Jin State, including many Liao generals and other tribal figures who surrendered, plus some traditional military families within the Jurchen people, are a large force, which I will call the 'Military Martial Party' for the time being; Although there is no conflict between these two factions, there are also conflicts between the interests of Zài and other contradictions. How to achieve a balance of power between the two factions is something that the Emperor of Jin has worked hard to maintain. Now that the leader of the princelings, Wanyan Zongwang, has been arrested by me, the princelings have suffered an unprecedented blow. Unless the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom is stupid, he will abandon Yan Zongwang and sit back and watch Zong Han's family dominate and tilt the power towards the government and the opposition! ”

"As soon as you say that, I understand!" Xiao Linglong suddenly realized, "Wanyan Zongwang is too important to Jin Guo. The Emperor of the Jin Kingdom will inevitably do whatever it takes to redeem Zongwang, right? ”

"Yes." Chu Tianya smiled confidently, "The emperor has always been such a mental skill, he will not allow his side to have a person who covers the sky with one hand." In this war between the Song and Jin countries, Zong Wang's entire army was exhausted, and Zong Han was basically unharmed. The balance of power between the military party and the princelings has been greatly tilted. Such a situation is something that Emperor Wu Qimai of the Jin Kingdom did not expect and absolutely did not want to see! - I would bet with anything that Wu Qimai would do whatever it took to get Zong Wang back and continue to hold the banner of the princelings to check and balance Zong Han. At the same time, he had to dig the east wall to make up the west wall - that is, to give Zong Han's power to Zong Wang in order to achieve the balance he wanted. ”

"I see!" Xiao Linglong suddenly slapped her palm, and her beautiful eyes were bright, "Shi Liai is Zong Han's right-hand man, you deliberately want Shi Liai to exchange Zong Wang for a hostage, which is a great stimulus to Zong Han - this is like taking your own child and going to the wolf's den to exchange for another family's child, who is not angry, who is not angry?" But invisibly, it helped Wu Qimai, he wouldn't mind, and even liked to see it! ”

"Clever, kiss one! - But no matter how angry Zong Han is, he can only obediently change with me. Chu Tianya said with a smile, "No matter how powerful he is, he is a relative after all, where can he compare to the close relationship between Zong Wang and the emperor?" If he is the slightest bit unhappy, the Emperor of Jin can directly cut off his dog's head. It's not just a brother, but it also involves the taboo and bottom line in Wu Qimai's heart! ”

"That's right!" The more Xiao Linglong listened, the more energetic she became, "If Zong Han refuses to exchange Shi Liai for the second prince, then Wu Qimai, the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, will definitely think that Zong Han wants to kill Zong Wang with a knife, and then dominate the dynasty by himself!" ”

"The princess is wise!" Chu Tianya laughed, and hugged Xiao Linglong's face again and kissed it.

"Don't scream, who's your princess?" Xiao Linglong's face flushed.

"Soon it will be." Chu Tianya raised his eyebrows and smiled, "When I return to Luoyang, one thing I will wait for is to marry you and canonize you as the princess of Luoyang." ”

"You said canonization, then canonization?" Xiao Linglong's face rose red, but her voice lowered a little, "Don't forget, I'm a Khitan ......"

"I don't care who you are, if you follow me Chu Tianya, you are my person! The baby born in your belly is also my blood! Chu Tianya said nonchalantly, "Don't you know that the bandits have become princes now?" Who the fuck dares to say that he is half unhappy, he doesn't rob people or burn houses, I will destroy his three clans! ”

Xiao Linglong snorted and laughed again, "I am all the people who are princes, but I am even more rude and rude than back then!" ”

"That is, I was born to be a bandit, I was, I am, and I still will be! - Don't you just like an upright gentleman like me? Chu Tianya smiled and hugged Xiao Linglong tightly.

The four eyes are opposite, and the affection is lingering.

"Princess, you have been wronged today; Lie down, and this king will serve you today! ”

“……”

"Still not lying down?"

"Hee-hee, do you want to forgive your sins? Then you lie down! …… I hate it, you hurt me! ”

In the early morning of the next day, the troops were being trained in the Sycamore Plains.

After Cao Cheng took the initiative to give the tens of thousands of horses under his command to Chu Tianya as a dowry, many other leaders of the rebel army swore allegiance to Chu Tianya and took the initiative to accept the "adaptation".

It's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and even Cao Chengdu took the initiative to surrender, where are the other small groups of people who don't follow the trend? Being a bandit and a bandit is free and chic, but he has no background in that life, and his descendants are also a thief. Being able to bleach himself as a "hero" at such a time and change from a thief to an official can be said to be the dream of every thief.

Therefore, the "200,000 righteous army" here in Wutong Yuan is actually the "Chu family army". Moreover, this title has also been widely circulated within the army, and the strange sergeant bumped into someone who said that he was "Chu Family Army", that is, his own people, and he was gone.

Chu Tianya still went to visit Yue Fei's cavalry drills. During the Battle of Wutongyuan, a large number of northern war horses were captured, which was an extremely scarce and important military resource in the south, and it was difficult to find in the past. However, when Chu Tianya was in Taiyuan, he had already obtained a lot of battles in Huanglong Valley, so he formed a tiger cavalry; In this battle of Wutong Yuan, although the men and horses suffered heavy losses, the number of men and horses under Wanyan Zongwang was large, nearly 400,000 war horses, even if there was one in a hundred, there were four or five thousand left.

Chu Tianya gave Yue Fei all of these excellent war horses, and asked him to expand the sentry horse.

The three thousand horsemen who had been following Jiao Wentong had gone through several battles, and there were only more than 1,000 left; After Yue Fei handled it, he carefully selected thousands of strong men among the rebels and formed a new cavalry of 5,000 people. Now that I am practicing day and night, I am already a little hot. Chu Tianya had this plan in his heart, and when Yue Fei trained the new Xiao Cavalry into a prototype, he would give him his own pro-Xun Tiger Ben, and become one!

Good steel is used on the blade, and the Chu family army must have an iron horse that dares to fight, can fight tough battles, and is indestructible, and then be the knife that opens the mountain and breaks the enemy's edge!

This iron rider can only be stronger than the tiger ben of the year, and stronger than the howling horse; Otherwise, Yue Fei will fail!

How much power and preferential treatment is given often means how much responsibility and pressure there is. Now, Yue Fei, who was unusually promoted, is thinking hard day and night about how to train and lead the cavalry under his command well.

After observing the training for a while, Anu stepped forward and said, "My lord, Wanyan Zongwang is still locked up in the horse pen, how to deal with it?" ”

Chu Tianya turned his face and smiled, "You didn't kill or maim him, did you?" ”

"Half a life left." Anu replied solemnly.

"Okay, I'll take a look." Chu Tianya laughed, and called Xiao Linglong and Anu and other guards to go and see Yan Zongwang.

Soon, Wanyan Zongwang was taken out of the stinky horse pen, first poured a bucket of water to wash off the dirty and smelly horse manure, and then put on a piece of clothing and brought it to Chu Tianya.

"You are despicable and shameless!" Wanyan Zongwang is a generation of heroes and a figure who commands ten thousand armies, at this moment, he is like a little daughter-in-law who has not been abused and has not dried her tears, glaring at Chu Tianya with resentment and scolding.

The crowd burst into laughter.

"Second Highness, I'm sorry." Chu Tianya said with a smile, "I said that if I let you go, I will definitely let you go, and I will never break my word." But I forgot one thing, that is, Zong Han hasn't agreed to my quid pro quo yet! ”

"Didn't Shi Liai stay here, what else do you want?" Zong Wang glared at Chu Tianya with annoyance and fear, for fear that he would have some kind of torture stinky method.

"Second Highness, what you say is not authentic." Chu Tianya said, "Tell me yourself, you are the marshal and the second prince of the Jin Kingdom; Shi Liai is just a Liao vassal. A few years ago, the Jurchen tribes were still trading with each other in barter. You say, is the status between the two of you equal, can it be exchanged equally? ”

"You say, what more do you want?!" Zong Wang was annoyed and angry.

"Can you make decisions for Zong Han?" Chu Tianya said with a smile.

"I can't. But my royal brother can! "Zong Wang is categorical.

"Hey, this seems to be ......a reason," Chu Tianya touched his chin and nodded, and then said, "Then let's do it, the two pawns who were locked up in the circle with you yesterday, I'll let them go first." One was released to the Northern Jin Kingdom, and the other was put to Zong Han's side. Tell them that if you want to exchange for the second prince of the Jin Kingdom, you need three things. I won't say yes to any less. ”

"Tell me about it." Zong Wang took a deep breath and asked.

"One of them is Shi Liai, which has already been said. Now I would like to add that all his family members should be put in the south and handed over to me. Chu Tianya said, "Can you agree?" ”

"This must be fine." Zong Wang said.

Chu Tianya smiled indifferently, "That's it." No matter how important a courtier is, after all, he is only a courtier, and he is not as important as the king and the prince -- the second article is to return to me all the territories of our Great Song Dynasty and the people of the Great Song Dynasty that were captured by the Jin State in this battle. These include Taiyuan, Zhending, Hejian, Zhongshan and other Hebei provinces. ”

"This ...... I need the permission of His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom! Zong Wang took a deep breath and pressed the annoyance in his heart, "But since the two countries are talking about peace and alliance, I believe Your Majesty will agree!" ”

"Oh, I can't help but say yes." Chu Tianya sneered, "I'm just saluting first and then soldiering." You are already a prisoner of my steps, within a thousand miles north of the Yellow River to Yanjing, who else can stop Chu's soldiers? Let you return these territories, one is to save a little face for your Jin court; The second is that I don't want to use swords and soldiers again and kill more people. ”

Wanyan Zongwang was almost choked to death by Chu Tianya's words. But anger to anger, he knew in his heart that Chu Tianya was telling the truth. In the battle of Wutong Plain, the main force of hundreds of thousands of Jin countries under his command was wiped out overnight. Now if Chu Tianya wields a division of the Northern Expedition, at least in the Hebei area, there is really no one who can stop him!

"What's your third thing?"

"Hey, hey!" Chu Tianya smiled, smiling loudly and treacherously, "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, I seem to remember that I am a thief who got up and was reckless. Kidnapping people and extorting money is my old business. Now it's rare to kidnap the second prince of the Jin Kingdom here, how can you not ask for a little yellow and white goods? ”

Wanyan Zongwang was simply angry, and he was angry in his heart: This person is really a complete scoundrel, a hooligan, a bandit, and a splash!

"The third thing I want is the simplest." Chu Tianya said with a smile, "You don't need to go to the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom who is too far away to ask for it, Zong Han has three thousand war horses, and they must be all northern war horses, of which there must be at least a thousand mares, and one of them will not work." At the same time, I want five hundred stallions for horses, not included in the three thousand. In addition, 500,000 taels of gold and 2,000,000 taels of silver...... Well, that's all for now! ”

Wanyan Zongwang's eyes straightened - and he only thought about this for the time being?!

"Why, you don't want to say that you Dajin Kingdom can't come up with such a little money, right?" Chu Tianya feigned anger, "You casually swept a Liao country or a Great Song city, and you got more than just a little oil and water, right?!" - If you dare to stare at me again, the price will be doubled immediately! ”

Wanyan Zongwang put aside his face, and he didn't dare to stare at Chu Tianya. Right now, with his teeth shattered, he could only swallow it in his stomach.

"If you think that this condition is worthy of the value of His Royal Highness the Second Prince, immediately write the book yourself and write it to His Majesty, the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, and your good brother Zong Han." Chu Tianya said with a smile, "Of course, if you don't think it's enough, you can also increase the price yourself!" I will not refuse to come, the more the merrier! ”

Xiao Linglong and the others were about to be amused.

Wanyan Zongwang simply vomited blood in his heart.

"Pen and ink waiting!" Chu Tianya gave an order, and the four treasures of the study room were all moved in front of Wanyan Zongwang.

At this moment, Wanyan Zongwang felt like a little girl who had been sold to the Qinglou, waiting to sign the deed of sale; Or a loser who is waiting to pawn the family property left by his ancestors to a profiteer.

This feeling in my heart, how uncomfortable it is.

Seeing that Yan Zongwang was hesitating, Chu Tianya was like an old bustard brainwashing the new girl, and said with a smile and bad intentions: "Hurry up and write!" Maybe I'll change my mind again. ”

Wanyan Zongwang was about to be scared to pee, so he immediately picked up the pen and wrote two letters.

Chu Tianya picked up a few letters that had not dried and looked at them, it was like a big profiteer who had slaughtered someone else, and he folded the letter with great satisfaction and joy, and said: "Come on, serve and entertain His Royal Highness, eat and drink, you must raise him fat!" ”

"Yes!" Anu stepped forward and thundered

Wanyan Zongwang looked at Anu, the one-eyed giant who beat him yesterday, and felt a chill in his heart.

"Second Highness, please!" Anu said in a deep voice, "The prince has an order, don't dare to disobey, I will entertain you well!" ”

What can Wanyan Zongwang say? I had to go with him obediently.

The remaining two Jurchen sergeants were also taken out, and Chu Tianya each sent a few henchmen to escort them out, and one was sent to Luoyang and handed over to Zong Han; The other, escorted to Hebei, let him go to the emperor of the Jin State, and both of them played the role of messengers.

"Wanyan Zongwang is really a baby bump." Chu Tianya smiled and said to himself, "If you don't squeeze every drop of value out of him, my bandits and bandits for so many years will really be in vain!" ”
