Chapter 883: Northern Expedition
Wang Zhengli and the others also looked down at this time, and they could hear the shouts of the herald clearly, although they had already known that the imperial court had sent reinforcements, but who they had sent, to be honest, they really didn't know.
Now after listening to the words of the herald, everyone knew that the reinforcements sent by the Son of Heaven were actually led by Chu Yi, who was famous all over the world.
For Chu Yi, Wang Zhengli and others don't know too much, but there are not a lot, at least as Chu Yi entered the Beijing Division under the banner of the Qing monarch and imprisoned Huizong Zhao Ji, and supported the new monarch Zhao Gou to ascend the throne, Chu Yi's name spread all over the world, and many deeds about Chu Yi gradually spread.
As an official, if you want to say that you don't know anything about Chu Yi, it must be a lie, but many of the rumors about Chu Yi that are circulating in the market are obviously just rumors, so Wang Zhengli and others don't know much about Chu Yi.
Wang Zhengli, Chen Mi and the others glanced at each other, what they had done before, they couldn't be clearer in their hearts, whether they could pass the test smoothly this time depends on whether Chu Yi can pass this level well.
Wang Yu didn't notice the change in the expressions of Wang Zhengli and others beside him, he was completely immersed in joy, Wang Yu only felt that this night was like a dream, first Zhang Xiaochun, who was the Xuanfu envoy, actually wanted to dedicate Taiyuan City to the Jin people and even calculated that he captured it, just when he thought that Taiyuan City was going to fall into the hands of the Jin people, the peak turned around, Wang Zhengli and others actually set things right, killed Zhang Xiaochun, and released him. Now, even the reinforcements of the imperial court have arrived, and everything seems to be moving in a good direction.
Taking a deep breath, Wang Yu shouted in a deep voice: "There is a token of King Song." ”
In the end, Wang Yu is sure that at least eighty percent of the people outside the city are the envoys of the King of Song, but he always has to make sure that if the other party is a Jin man who comes to cheat the city, if he accidentally falls into the hands of the Jin people and lets the Jin people enter the city, then he Wang Yu is not going to become a sinner through the ages?
The herald seemed to have anticipated this, and shouted loudly: "Your Highness's seal is here, please check it." ”
As he spoke, he saw a token flying from the downwind, and Wang Yu stretched out his hand to grab it, and saw a heavy token fall into his hand.
After sweeping his eyes and seeing the token clearly, Wang Yu's expression was straight, and he immediately said respectfully: "The last general Wang Yu will receive the order, and this will open the city gate and welcome His Highness into the city." ”
At the same time, the army outside the city also arrived under the city, and soon Wang Yu himself went down the city tower, only to hear a creaking sound, and saw the closed city gate slowly open, and at the same time a red sun jumped out of the horizon and sprinkled a ray of light.
Bathed in the first rays of light on the horizon, the army entered Taiyuan City in a mighty way.
Among the yamen of the prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture, at this moment, all the officials of Taiyuan City gathered here to meet Chu Yi.
In the middle of the hall, Chu Yi sat in the middle, his eyes fell on the dozen or so officials below, and these dozen officials were the high-level officials of Taiyuan City.
With a sweep of his eyes, Chu Yi frowned and said, "Where is Zhang Xiaochun, the Xuanfu envoy and governor of Taiyuan Mansion?" ”
As the supreme head of a city, Zhang Xiaochun did not appear here, of course, it attracted Chu Yi's attention, seeing Chu Yi asking about Zhang Xiaochun's situation, Wang Yu and Wang Zhengli had already expected this, and after looking at each other, they saw Wang Zhengli take a step forward and said: "Your Royal Highness, Zhang Xuanfu's matter is quite complicated, involving a major case of rebellion, and please ask your subordinates to talk about it carefully." ”
Chu Yi glanced at Wang Zhengli lightly, although he didn't say anything, but the meaning was very clear, that is, let Wang Zhengli continue.
Wang Zhengli straightened his clothes, and then told the details of Zhang Xiaochun's surrender to the Jin people after they had been processed and was killed by them.
Wang Yu arched his hand on the side and said: "Your Highness, this is the case, I really know people and faces, if it weren't for Wang Zhengli and others to set things right, I'm afraid that the last general will be killed by Zhang Xiaochun at this time, and even Taiyuan City will fall into the hands of the Jin people." ”
Chu Yi listened to Wang Zhengli's words, and his face showed a smile that seemed to be a smile, and at this moment, a figure walked over, walked to Chu Yi's approach, and whispered, Chu Yi's expression remained unchanged, but he nodded slightly at Yang Zhi.
Yang Zhi stepped aside, his gaze swept over Wang Zhengli and the others, with a little disdain in the depths of his eyes.
The hall was silent, and after a dozen or so breaths, even a fool could feel the extremely oppressive atmosphere in the hall.
Suddenly, Chu Yi spoke: "Wang Zhengli, Chen Mi, can you be guilty?" ”
Wang Zhengli and Chen Mi's hearts suddenly fell, and they knelt on the ground almost instinctively, and shouted with a little panic on their faces: "Your Highness, what is the responsibility of your subordinates, I don't know!" ”
Although there is a faint guess in their hearts that it is very likely that the matter of their surrender to the Jin people with Zhang Xiaochun was leaked, but if they can resist to the end, they will naturally resist to the end, at least in the absence of conclusive evidence, they do not intend to admit it.
Chu Yi gently knocked on the table, glanced at a few people lightly, and said, "It seems that a few of them really don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin." ”
Wang Zhengli looked aggrieved and said: "Your Highness, we are loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, I really don't know why Your Highness wants to frame us ......."
Wang Yu on the side looked at Chu Yi in surprise, and then looked at the aggrieved appearance of Wang Zhengli and the others, opened his mouth and said: "Your Highness, Wang Zhengli and they were threatened by Zhang Xiaochun before, so they had to pretend to obey, and then when they got the opportunity, they killed Zhang Xiaochun to set things right. ”
At this time, Yang Zhi, who was standing on the side, couldn't stand it and jumped out, and looked at Wang Zhengli and the others with disdain: "You guys are really the grass on the wall falling with the wind, if Yang is not mistaken, not long ago it was in this hall, how did you and Zhang Xiaochun decide to surrender to the Jin people, and how did you plot and calculate General Wang Yu here, and then how to force Zhang Xiaochun to death, and put all the blame on Zhang Xiaochun alone, all of this, have you forgotten?" ”
Wang Zhengli's expressions changed slightly, staring at Yang Zhi, and Wang Zhengli gritted his teeth and said: "Blood spews people, this is a crime to be added, I don't accept it, we want to meet Your Majesty......"
Chu Yi sighed lightly and looked at Wang Zhengli and the others: "What you have done is really shameful, even that Zhang Xiaochun is much stronger than you, at least he dares to act boldly, but such a villain is really in vain for the Great Song Dynasty officials." ”
While speaking, Chu Yi said to Yang Zhi: "Bring the Wanyan Silver Technique up, this king wants to convince them." ”
Hearing Chu Yi's words, Wang Zhengli and a few people suddenly seemed to have been struck by lightning, and more than a dozen people seemed to have lost their souls, and suddenly one of them crawled out with a wail, lying on the ground and kowtowing to Chu Yi and said: "Your Highness forgives your sins, Your Highness forgives me, I waited wrong, I waited wrong, please read that we didn't make a big mistake, forgive me for waiting for a ......."
Wang Zhengli and Chen Mi, who still wanted to hold on this time, suddenly collapsed to the ground like deflated balls.
Even Wang Yu on the side was dumbfounded, looking at Wang Zhengli who was paralyzed on the ground, and then looking at the official who was lying on the ground wailing, Wang Yu couldn't help but subconsciously pointed at Wang Zhengli and others, but for a while he didn't know what to say.
Lu Shi took a step forward, sneered, withdrew his gaze from several people, and then said to Chu Yi: "Your Highness, in Lu Mou's opinion, these incorruptible and shameless people should be killed to set an example, otherwise it will not be enough to deter the world." ”
To tell the truth, the people present really looked down on Wang Zhengli and the others, it was really that what these people did was too villainous, if they went all the way to the black, it would be fine, but these people killed Zhang Xiaochun and put all the blame on Zhang Xiaochun, but they acted as if they had nothing to do, just thinking about it made people spit on.
Especially the temperament of people such as Luda and Wu Song, if they hadn't suppressed the anger in their hearts, they might have slapped these people to death.
Chu Yi waved his hand and said lightly: "Take it down, interrogate it, submit the case file to the Beijing Division, and behead it at a later date." ”
With a pop, Wang Zhengli and the others rolled their eyes one by one, and they fainted in fright.
When these people were taken away, the lower-level officials who were waiting in the courtyard outside the hall looked at each other one by one when they saw Wang Zhengli and the others being put up by the soldiers, but the news came out quickly, and these officials were all shocked when they heard it, obviously they didn't expect so many things to happen in just one night.
It's just a short day, the Jin camp was broken, Zhang Xiaochun and others wanted to surrender Dajin and were taken down The news spread all over Taiyuan Mansion, and the people were boiling, especially when they learned that Chu Yi, the king of the Song Dynasty, had personally led a large army to come, and the people who had become panicked because of the arrival of the Jin people were suddenly relieved.
At this moment, Chu Yi is playing against the same person, if someone sees it, they will definitely be very surprised, because this person is no one else, it is the commander of the captured Jinren Western Route Army, Wanyan Zonghan.
On a spacious carriage, Chu Yi sat opposite Wan Yan Zonghan, and in front of the two of them was a chessboard, and the two of them slowly fell.
Chu Yi said lightly: "Sticky Han, your heart is in turmoil!" ”
Wanyan Zonghan also took a deep breath when he heard this, dropped a chess piece, looked up at Chu Yi, who was sitting in front of him with a calm breath and a good temperament, and said slowly: "Are you really not afraid that there will be no turning back?" ”
Chu Yi chuckled and said, "Your Excellency won't think that with Dajin's strength, you can leave the people of Chu's department." ”
Sticky Han stared at Chu Yi and said: "Although it is said that His Royal Highness the King of Song is as strong as a cloud, but if I do my best, I will not be able to inflict a heavy blow on His Highness, just as the so-called snipe and clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman, if His Highness loses a lot, I am afraid that when he returns to the Song Kingdom, he will be in a cage." ”
In the face of Sticky Han's intimidation, Chu Yi just smiled and said: "If Chu really suffers heavy losses, Zhao Gou will indeed attack Chu, but it is just a lot of gold, and it will not make Chu hurt his muscles and bones......"
"You...... It's so arrogant! ”
Sticky Han obviously didn't expect Chu Yi to be so confident, to be honest, Sticky Han thought that Chu Yi would take a few of them to negotiate with Dajin, the biggest possibility is that the two sides will make peace, and then exchange back to the sixteen states of Yanyun, in this way, Chu Yi will get benefits, and get a great reputation, and return to Beijing with this Dasheng, that is, Chu Yi wants to do the act of changing the dynasty, and I am afraid that he will not suffer too much resistance.
With the wisdom of Mu Han, he thought that if he was in Chu Yi's position, even if he did not have the ambition to usurp the throne, and did not plan to exchange a few of them for Dajin, then he would rest in Taiyuan City, and then collect men and horses and go north with the army.
But contrary to everyone's expectations, Chu Yi just stayed in Taiyuan Mansion for a day, replenished the grain, and tens of thousands of troops actually swore to the Northern Expedition, you must know that when Mu Han learned the news of Chu Yi's Northern Expedition, the whole person was stunned.
The Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty to the land of Yanyun is not once or twice, each time it is the strength of the whole country, and the number of soldiers and horses used is 100,000, and the preparation time alone is not a year or two, so in comparison, it seems that Chu Yi's so-called Northern Expedition is so sloppy, it feels like he is playing at home.
Looking at Chu Yi sitting opposite, I don't know why Sticky Han suddenly had a feeling in his heart that he couldn't see through Chu Yi, it was really unexpected what Chu Yi did.
Ignoring the strange gaze that Yan Zonghan looked at him, Chu Yi fell and said, "Your Excellency"
