Chapter Ninety-Eight: Pretending to Be Pitiful

The battle to attack Yizhou has completely ended, and the cleaning of the battlefield is nearing the end.

Under the sudden and ferocious blow of the coalition forces, all the Jin troops in the city were wiped out, and the last stronghold, the government office, was reduced to ashes in the skyrocketing fire.

The servant Sansahe burned himself to death, as a Jurchen, he was loyal to the Jin State. And the city was destroyed so suddenly, and the army was defeated so quickly, that the few orders he issued in the palace were almost not implemented, or even not reached at all.

Most of the government was burned down, but the warehouses in the city were largely preserved. Food, equipment, and money all fell into the hands of the coalition forces, and it can be said that the harvest is very rich.

The exact number still needs to be counted, but it can already be seen from the treasury entry and exit books.

Meng Jiucheng was happy, Peng Yibin was happy, only Liu Yingying realized her sloppiness and regretted it. Cheng Fu also looked embarrassed, complaining in his heart, feeling that the price was inevitably too big, and Liu Erzu was not easy to explain.

When the inventory of materials was completed, Meng Jiucheng and Peng Yibin began to divide the spoils, and Liu Yingying couldn't sit still. After thinking about it, she was really worried that her father would be responsible, so she had to come to Meng Jiucheng with a shy face.

"Haha. General Liu Xiao, this is a trick! Meng Jiucheng smiled weirdly and welcomed Liu Yingying, who had returned to women's clothing, into the house.

Liu Yingying entered the room, a little surprised, and uncomfortable sitting in the chair, before she spoke: "General Meng, forgive me, the slave Liu Yingying is the daughter of General Liu." Concealing my identity before is really against the principle of 'seeing each other with sincerity', so-"

"That's good, that's good." Meng Jiucheng poured Liu Yingying a cup of tea, turned back to the table and sat down, looking carefully.

The complexion was very white, with a pair of dark eyes, and a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, showing a unique beauty, like a flower in bloom.

Liu Yingying was a little annoyed by the sight, but when she came to ask for help, she had to suppress her emotions, tried to make a gentle appearance, and said slowly: "General Meng, this, this matter is really hard to say. It is all blamed on the slave family for being young and unable to understand affairs, making assertions, and without the consent of his father, he hastily agreed to use the seized materials in exchange for the clairfront mirror and the stone thrower. Now when I think about it, the slave family is afraid, afraid that my father will punish me. You don't know, fathers are very strict with their children. ”

Little girl, pretend to be pitiful here! Meng Jiucheng looked at Liu Yingying's deliberate pretending, wanted to laugh very much, rubbed his nose, and held back.

"General Meng-" Liu Yingying glanced up at Meng Jiucheng, and continued to plead in a low voice: "Look, can we discuss it again?" If this result, the slave family will not even dare to go home, which is really embarrassing! ”

Meng Jiucheng smiled and teased: "If you don't dare to go home, it's okay, go to a certain family's territory to play for a while, and then go back when General Liu's anger is gone!" ”

Liu Yingying is very playful, but this is not the way to solve the problem after all, she pursed her lips and looked at Meng Jiucheng pitifully.

Meng Jiucheng scratched his head, thought for a while, pretended to smile helplessly, and said: "Since Little Lady Liu is so embarrassed, Meng can divide the materials originally scheduled for General Liu into two, and our army can only get one." Little lady Liu, what do you think? ”

Liu Yingying's eyes lit up, she nodded hurriedly, got up and saluted again, and thanked happily: "Thank you General Meng for your understanding, thank you General Meng for your success." ”

Meng Jiucheng stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Meng has fulfilled the little lady, and the little lady also has to help a certain arm, how about it?" ”

"How can you help?" Liu Yingying asked, her face showing suspicion and vigilance.

Meng Jiucheng made a gesture, motioned for Liu Yingying to sit down, and said slowly: "I want to ask General Liu to send troops, and the two families will continue to fight together to attack the prefectures and counties where the Jin army is entrenched......"

After the Jin Dynasty moved south, the strategic focus shifted, and it could no longer send too many troops to Shandong and Hebei, so it could only transfer local garrisons to suppress the Red Jacket Army, which was a patchwork army.

For example, Yizhou defended the servants to stay at home, Suzhou to control Guerjia Sierge, Xuzhou to control Sushi Lie Huanduan, etc., all of which were dispatched to lead troops to obey the orders of Fusan Anzhen and attack Yang An'er in the north.

That is to say, the current Jin army in many states and counties has very few troops, and can only barely keep the big cities and towns, and is unable to take the initiative to attack.

Therefore, Meng Jiucheng felt that taking advantage of this opportunity to gather and annihilate the Jin army in several places not only weakened the overall strength of the Jin army, but also expanded the space for strategic activities, and could also obtain captured materials, which was really the best of all three things. When the main force of the Jin army frees up their hands to attack, there will be no such good opportunity.

Of course, what Meng Jiucheng wanted to capture most was Haizhou, and once he took it, he would basically remove the threat from the south. And according to the current strength, if you want to frighten the enemy in Haizhou, you still need more than 3,000 men and horses to help. There were nearly 20,000 troops, which was enough to make the Jin army dare not fight. And the result of defending the city is just to defend the death.

Liu Yingying seemed to understand and nodded again and again, but after learning a lesson, the girl became a little more cautious and did not dare to assert herself again. After all, whether to send troops or not is also related to interests, and it still needs to be negotiated and determined.

"Did General Meng talk to Ambassador Cheng?" Liu Yingying first asked, and then explained to herself: "It is inevitable for the slave family to enter the war, but my father will not listen to the slave family for such a major event as sending troops to fight." ”

"Naturally, I want to talk to Ambassador Cheng." Meng Jiucheng smiled faintly and said, "And General Peng, if Little Lady Liu helps, Meng thinks it's not a big problem." ”

Liu Yingying understood why Meng Jiu had become so good at talking, and with the seized materials, her father must be very tempted. Not to mention Peng Yibin, the losses in this battle were not large, but the gains were extremely rich.

"Then the slave family will go back, present the list of supplies to my father, and then state the benefits of sending troops to help the war." Liu Yingying hurriedly expressed her position to show her intentions for this matter and her gratitude to Meng Jiucheng for his generosity.

Meng Jiucheng smiled and waved his hand, and said: "When the list is listed, and when Ambassador Cheng and Ambassador Cheng discuss it properly, it will not be too late for Mrs. Liu to leave tomorrow with the letter and the list." ”

After the matter was discussed, Liu Yingying said goodbye and left. Fighting for half of the supplies, and having a clairvoyant and a stone thrower, the girl thinks it's very good, even if her father is responsible, it won't be very serious.

After sending Liu Yingying away, Meng Jiucheng went to discuss with Peng Yibin and Cheng Fu again in order to determine whether to continue to attack and expand the land, or to stop there.

As Meng Jiucheng expected, the result of taking Yizhou lightly shocked Peng and Cheng, but they were also very excited.

The rebels were poorly equipped and had a weak ability to attack fortifications, which was an obvious shortcoming. This weakness is not only understood by Jin Jun, but also by Peng and Cheng.
