"Inform the King of Jin that Cai Jing's eldest son, Cai You, was killed on the spot by the new Hebei Xuanfu envoy Yingquan in his own state capital, Zhending Mansion. ”

"There is such a thing?" Tian Hu, who was sitting on the main seat, was slightly stunned, and then looked at the two brothers beside him, Tian Bao and Tian Biao said, "I don't know what the two brothers think." ”

"Leave them to death, they make a mess of themselves, just cheap us. Tian Bao smiled contemptuously and continued: "Cai You has always had no one in his eyes, relying on the fact that he is Cai Jing's son and does all kinds of evil, and when it comes to it, the younger brother wants to kill him. ”

"People are officials, we are cowards. Tian Biao put forward a different opinion at this time: "If they don't come to us for trouble, thank God." ”

Tian Biao is full of worries about his future, now it seems that their occupation of the Wuzhou region is quite prosperous, and it is only the geography they occupy, if the imperial court frees up its hands, their own side will also be destroyed.

At the time of the uprising, he didn't particularly agree with it, but at that time he was already on the tip of his eyebrows, and he couldn't help himself.

The world says that Tianhu in Hebei Province, but they don't know that Tianhu's territory is in Shanxi.

Let's say that Hebei Tianhu is a hunter in Qinyuan County, Weisheng Prefecture, with strength, proficient in martial arts, and single-minded friendship.

This place is surrounded by thousands of mountains, and it is easy to gather. It also happened that floods and droughts were frequent, the people were poor and rich, and the people's minds were confused.

Tian Hu took the opportunity to gather a large number of outlaws, fabricate fallacies, and incite the foolish people.

The three Tian Hu brothers relied on their innate ability, and at first they only plundered some property, and then gradually began to invade the state and seize the county, and the officers and soldiers did not dare to be their front.

Moreover, there was the Song Dynasty, which had always suppressed Shanxi Province, when civil officials asked for money, military generals were afraid of death, and although there were officers and soldiers in various prefectures and counties to defend, they were all old and weak; or one person ate two or three people's salaries, and there were some rich and powerful people who had idle companions in their homes, and they could buy a name with some silver, and they could also pay some food and salary every month, once and for all.

When it was time for the roll call to practice, he hired someone to agree, and the top and bottom were blind, and it was unbreakable.

The state has spent all its money, but it has not been of any use. When I got to that season, I didn't know how to fight, horizontally and vertically, and when I saw the dust in front of me, I only hated my grandmother for having two feet.

At that time, there were also a few officers who led some soldiers and horses to chase Tian Hu, but they were afraid of the ability of Tian Hu's brothers, so they dared to step forward, but they only followed behind, running around, bluffing, and even killing good people.

Seeing this, the people became more and more resentful, so they simply turned against each other, took refuge in Tian Hu and had a bite to eat, if they stayed, they were killed by the government in vain.

Therefore, Tian Hu occupied 56 counties in five states.

The five states: one is Weisheng, that is, Qinzhou, the second is Fenyang, that is, Fenzhou, the third is Zhaode, that is, Lu'an, the fourth is Jinning, that is, Pingyang, and the fifth is Gaizhou, which is Zezhou. The fifty-six counties are all subordinate counties under the jurisdiction of these five states. Tian Hu built a palace in Fenyang, pretended to set up civil and military bureaucrats, internal and external generals, and dominated one side, called the King of Jin.

The soldiers are fierce, the mountains and rivers are steep, and the entire Jinnan has fallen into the hands of Tian Hu.

"Report!" another herald soldier hurried into the main hall, his face anxious, not knowing what was happening.

"The spies of the Daimyo Mansion have sent news that the Jade Qilin Lu Junyi has once again gone out of the mountain to take command, and he has pointed out that there are about 13,000 soldiers and horses in the Daimyo Mansion, and he wants to make a conquest!"

"Lu Junyi!" Tian Hu smiled bitterly, if there were still a few people in the Great Song Dynasty who could make Tian Hu jealous, Lu Junyi was definitely one of them.

Even if the three of his brothers join forces, they are not necessarily the opponents of this person, if it weren't for Lu Junyi's expedition to the Liao State back then, he would not have been able to have such a foundation now.

It's just a pity that Lu Junyi was framed by the villain, and Zhengliao lost money, and since then he has also abandoned his official position.

"At this time, Lu Junyi raised troops in the Daimyo's Mansion, thinking that he was going to deal with Yingquan. Tian Biao thought for a moment, and then looked at Tian Hu and said softly: "I just don't know what price Liang Zhongshu can use to exchange Lu Junyi for going out of the mountain!"

Liang Zhongshu is Cai Jing's son-in-law, Cai You is Liang Zhongshu's eldest brother, and now Cai You is dead in Zhending Mansion, and as the garrison of the Daimyo's Mansion, he is not far from Zhending Mansion, so he naturally needs to express it.

As one of the four capitals of the Great Song Dynasty, the Daimyo's Mansion was stationed with 20,000 forbidden troops, and now 13,000 were sent at one time, and Lu Junyi, who had unparalleled guns and sticks, was personally in command, and the general of the Daimyo's Mansion was in charge of the vanguard Suo Chao, who was the vanguard of Zhengyin, and led 1,000 soldiers and horses as the vanguard; and the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi, as the deputy general, led the army of 2,000 to take charge of grain and grass operations.

Such a camp is not strong in such a period, not to mention the reinforcements from the subsequent state capitals, all of which are dispatched by Lu Junyi.

Everyone is not optimistic about Yingquan, who is now left alone in the lonely city of Zhending Mansion.

"Report!" At this time, a herald walked quickly to the palace of King Jin, knelt down towards Tian Hu, and said respectfully: "Taishi Cai sent a messenger to come. ”

"Cai Jing sent an envoy?" Tian Hu said that he had received more shocks today than in the past year.

"Please come in. Tian Hu himself must know that his strength is still far from Cai Jing, but Cai Jing's current focus is not on himself.

To be honest, his own land in five states is really not in the corner of Cai Jing's eyes.

If it weren't for the dangerous terrain here, Cai Jing would have sent troops to level himself a long time ago.....

Although Tian Hu is arrogant, he is also quite self-aware, since he proclaimed himself king in the land of the five states, he has reined in a lot, worked hard to manage his own forces, and many of the things that he used to burn and loot are no longer done, because he also knows that the people are the foundation that supports his rule.

"Taishi Cai has an order, and he can send troops to attack Zhending Mansion, if he can take down the head of Yingquan, he will pardon the sins of Er and other bandits, and enter the court as an official by virtue of his merits. "The person who came was a member of the Cai family, this is not the meaning of the imperial court, but the meaning of Cai Jing.

But now it is well known that the meaning of Cai Jing is the meaning of the imperial court.

"You!" Tian Leopard's temper has never been good, and when he heard that a little family member actually spoke to his eldest brother in such a tone, he immediately became angry.

But the family didn't have the slightest fear, but instead met Tian Leopard's gaze with a mocking face, exuding a hint of ridicule.

"Wait. Tian Hu waved his hand lightly, stopped Tian Leopard, who wanted to have a seizure, and said to the family: "Please go back and return to the Taishi, just say that Tian Hu will seriously consider the Taishi's suggestion." ”

Tian Hu is also a shrewd person, and now he is not worth the loss by tearing the skin refining with Cai Jing, who is angry.

It's better to admit this matter first, and it's not too late to talk about it later.

......

"Your Excellency. ”

After being busy in the middle of the night, Xuanfu has established the yamen in a decent manner.

"My lord, the accurate news has arrived. Wu Yong walked to Yingquan's side at this time, and secretly sighed and said to Yingquan: "The Daimyo's Mansion has ordered 13,000 soldiers and horses, and Lu Yuan has gone out to the mountains to take command, Suo Chao is the vanguard, Yang Zhi is the grain supervisor, and it is troublesome for the three of them to come, and now that the three of them are gathered, I am afraid there will be a fierce battle." ”

"I don't know if they're all the way, right?" Ying Quan asked out loud, after all, this is Cai Jing's foundation, and now the plan has been set in Cai Jing's hinterland by mistake, presumably Cai Jing will do his best to get rid of himself.

The Daimyo's Mansion is also just a place of residence.

"Because Dingzhou is close to the Great Liao Frontier, most of the troops are in the Changshan area, and they did not send troops to attack, but Qizhou sent 3,000 troops from Pengcheng, and Zhaozhou sent 3,000 troops from Gaoyi. ”

When Yingquan heard this, he immediately returned to the house and asked the soldiers to bring the map he had scavenged from the prefect's yamen.

Qizhou is in the east of Zhending Mansion, and Zhaozhou is in the north of Zhending Mansion, faintly forming a flanking attack.

The Daimyo's Mansion is still separated from Zhending Mansion by Mingzhou, Xingzhou and Zhaozhou.

"Is there any news from Mingzhou and Xingzhou?" asked Yingquan towards Wu Yong.

"Mingzhou and Xingzhou each prepared 2,000 soldiers and horses, which should be waiting for Lu Junyi's army locally. On the way to the march, Wu Yong had already left enough spies behind, and he didn't dare to say that the wind was blowing, but some big movements couldn't be hidden from Wu Yong's ears and eyes.

Xianghedong Road, the state capital, Yingquan is not worried, they are all surrounded by Taihang Mountain, saying that Hedong wants to come to deal with Cai Jing, and in Taihang Mountain, bandits are rampant, if they march rashly, they don't need Yingquan to do it, naturally someone wants Yingquan to clean them up.

Cai Jing mobilized the power of one government and four states to deal with Yingquan, and even Lu Junyi, a fierce general, was specially invited out of the mountain, which shows Cai Jing's intentions.

With three congenital generals and 23,000 soldiers and horses, it seems that the Zhending Mansion is already in the bag.

Yingquan is surrounded by the night!

"Since they are here to die, let's eat their six thousand soldiers and horses first!" Yingquan's gaze was cold, and Wu Yong also looked at Luancheng on the map with Yingquan's gaze.

This is really the place where the 6,000 soldiers and horses of Qizhou and Zhaozhou gathered.

"Do you know who led the troops?" asked Yingquan aloud.

"Qizhou Zhangfeng, Zhaozhou Zhaohui. Wu Yong heard Yingquan's question, and then said: "Both of them are cultivators in the late stage of the day after tomorrow. ”

"Nameless young general, don't worry!" Yingquan shook his head slowly, just in time to see Yang Jin walking into the lobby with Yang Zaixing, and directly ordered: "Yang Jin, Yang Zaixing listens to the order!"

"The last general!"

The two who had just come in didn't understand what was going on, so they heard Yingquan say directly: "Today, a total of 6,000 soldiers and horses from Qizhou and Zhaozhou have been stationed in Luancheng, within the scope of my Zhending Mansion, and they are really bold, and I specially ordered you two to lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to destroy it!"

"Obey!" Yang Jin's eyes flashed, he naturally knew that Yingquan deliberately left these 6,000 people to his father and son, one is to trust, and the other is to reuse!

This is Yingquan's first battle as the envoy of Hebei Xuanfu, and he can hand it over to himself with such peace of mind, which shows the importance he attaches to himself!

Even so, Yingquan still felt that it was a bit overkill.

There are not many people in Yang Jin's headquarters, there are two thousand people in total, Yang Zaixing, Yingquan is only equipped with five hundred cavalry, and Yang Zaixing's deputy is the previous small commander Yu Hualong!
