Half a day later, Pudong was in ruins. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Guan Sheng died in battle.

The 5,000 garrison was wiped out.

But they live forever in the hearts of the world.

Since the Song and Jin wars, this is the first army to be completely killed by the Jin army.

Their record is not excellent, and the 5,000 garrison is still defending the city, but the damage caused to the Jin army is less than 1,000 people.

Because the Jin army is accompanied by masters.

Because the talent of the Golden Vulture itself is too high.

Because the Jin army is much stronger than the garrison in Pudong in terms of soldier quality and military technology.

But the people of Jiangnan still rejoiced in Guan Sheng.

In the Great Song Dynasty, not everyone is tied up.

There are still people who are willing to fight to the death for this country.

Many times, what the world lacks is a leader.

Of course, the news that Guan Sheng and them were all killed in battle also extinguished many people's thoughts of resistance.

In the moment of life and death, there will always be people who are generous and righteous, and there are people who bend their knees to the enemy.

This is something that every country cannot avoid.

The Daimyo's Mansion is the last important town to go to the capital.

Since Pudong City has been destroyed, the Daimyo's Mansion will soon face the Jin Army.

Now, many people's eyes are on the Daimyo's Mansion.

The Taishou of the Daimyo's Mansion is Liang Zhongshu.

And Liang Zhongshu is Cai Jing's son-in-law.

Although many people in Jiangnan call Cai Jing a "traitor", until now, many people still hope that even if Cai Jing is for his own glory and wealth, he will let Liang Zhongshu stick to the Daimyo's mansion.

Gao Daquan is also one of these people.

"Cai Xiang, I hope that Liang Zhongshu will stick to the Daimyo's Mansion. If he doesn't surrender, he doesn't flee until he dies in battle, can he do it?"

Gao Daquan came to the door directly to ask.

Traveling with him was also Zhao Gou.

At this juncture, Zhao Gou didn't dare to persecute Cai Jing at all, so he specially invited Gao Daquan to come forward.

If he can't get a satisfactory answer today, then Zhao Gou is ready to run away.

He is not without courage, but the facts that have happened before have told him that there is no chance of winning if he defends the capital.

Because the seven major factions have reached a tacit understanding with the Jin people.

In order to deal with Lin Lingsu, Zhao Gou invited many masters of the seven major factions to Beijing.

Now, he is cocooned and self-bound.

He absolutely believed that these people would cooperate with the Jin people inside and outside, so that Bianjing City would be broken overnight.

He didn't want to be a runaway king, let alone a captured emperor.

Facing Gao Daquan's inquiry, Cai Jing smiled bitterly.

"Don't hide it from the official family and Xiao Gao, and the old man is not sure. ”

"Cai Xiang, Liang Zhongshu is your son-in-law, how could you not be sure?" Zhao Gou was a little anxious.

Cai Jing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The official family, the old man definitely wants Liang Zhongshu to fight to the death, and Guan Sheng, who just died in battle, was also pulled by the old man." Among the civil and military officials, there should not be many people who are stronger than I hope for the Great Song Dynasty, even if I have selfish intentions, but it can only be achieved on the basis of the strong and prosperous Great Song Dynasty. ”

Zhao Gou nodded.

It is precisely because of this that after he ascended the throne, he did not remove Cai Jing's phase, but relied on him more.

And Guan Sheng is indeed Cai Jing's person, if it weren't for Cai Jing's kindness, he would not have been able to stand out in the army.

Guan Sheng was able to refuse the solicitation of the beggars, and there was no reason for this.

"But although Liang Zhongshu is my son-in-law, the old man is not sure what choice he will make in the event of life and death. He is indeed afraid of the old man, but when there is no life, will he still be afraid of the old man?"

Cai Jing's words left Zhao Gou speechless.

Gao Daquan's eyes narrowed.

Before coming, he did an investigation on Liang Zhongshu.

One corrupt official, one unconscious official, it is not a pity to die.

He has been an official for more than ten years, and he has not seen a few political achievements, but his family assets have been million.

Gao Daquan has no mercy for such a corrupt official.

"Since Cai Xiang doesn't have the grasp of controlling Liang Zhongshu, let the official family come. Gao Daquan suddenly spoke.

"Xiao Gao, what do you mean?" Zhao Gou was puzzled.

"There should be a lot of masters around the official family, right?" Gao Daquan didn't wait for Zhao Gou to give an answer, and continued to talk to himself: "The official family might as well send a dead soldier to the Daimyo's Mansion to supervise the battle, and clearly inform Liang Zhongshu that if he dies in battle, the court will posthumously award him a good name and reward his family." Dare to flee and be killed on the spot. ”

"No, you can't. Cai Jing said subconsciously.

"Why not?" Gao Daquan replied coldly: "Is Cai Xiang distressed for his son-in-law, or is he distressed for his daughter?"

Hearing Gao Daquan say the word "daughter", Cai Jing's face twitched, and he thought of Zhang Zhenniang.

He thought that Gao Daquan was standing up for Zhang Zhenniang, so he didn't argue anymore.

But in fact, Gao Daquan didn't think about Zhang Zhenniang at all, he just thought about how to make the Jin people pay the biggest price in the Daimyo's Mansion.

Gao Daquan never thought that the Daimyo's Mansion would be able to block the Jin people, but it was not impossible for them to pay enough price.

After all, the Daimyo's Mansion is much larger than Pudong's, and the defenders and various military equipment in the Daimyo's Mansion are second only to the capital.

Regarding Gao Daquan's proposal, Zhao Gou was thoughtful.

He originally thought that Gao Daquan and Cai Jing had some intimate relationship in private, after all, the two had always been very close.

So he invited Gao Daquan today, just to increase his voice in front of Cai Jing.

But judging from the current situation, the two are not all the way at all.

Gao Daquan thought more from the perspective of the imperial court, and didn't care whether Cai Jing's interests would be damaged.

This made him pay more attention to Gao Daquan.

Glancing at Cai Jing again, Zhao Gou chose to leave.

Gao Daquan and Zhao Gou left the Cai Mansion together.

When the two parted ways, Zhao Gou stopped Gao Daquan and said seriously: "Xiao Gao, thank you for your support." ”

"When the national disaster is at the head, just do your best, and the officials don't need to say much. Gao Daquan said humbly.

"Dedication, these two words are easy to say, but difficult to do. If everybody could be as dedicated as you are, why would this be the case?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Gou's tone unconsciously revealed a trace of hatred.

That's for the Seven Great Factions.

The people of Jiangnan didn't know the plans of the Seven Great Factions at this time, but people of the level of Zhao Gou and Gao Daquan naturally saw through it a long time ago.

If it weren't for the seven major factions to hold back, the situation of the war would definitely not be so one-sided.

Gao Daquan was silent at first, and then persuaded him: "The official family must prepare early, even if Liang Zhongshu fights to the death, the Daimyo's Mansion will not be able to hold it." ”

Zhao Gou also knew this, in front of Gao Daquan, Zhao Gou did not hide anything, and directly said hatefully: "I have found Zhou Tong in private and promised a lot of benefits, but he just didn't agree to let Yue Fei out of the mountain." It's not just that the Daimyo's Mansion can't hold it, but with this group of people with ghosts in their hearts, even Bianjing City is just around the corner. ”

"What the Hero Building wants is for Yue Fei to turn the tide and recover the rivers and mountains, so naturally he will not let Yue Fei out of the mountain now. With these internal thieves, the capital is afraid that it will be difficult to escape. If the official family has a heart, there is no need to talk nonsense with Zhou Tong, and they might as well contact Yue Fei more in private. Although Yue Fei and I don't have a deep relationship, I can see that Yue Fei is not a chaotic minister and thief like Zhou Tong, and he has loyal and patriotic blood in his bones. Gao Daquan suggested.

"I know. Zhao Gou nodded and said, "Xiao Gao, you have already made plans, and I also hope that you can appease people's hearts for me in the future." ”

This is a hint that Gao Daquan can run away first.

I have to say that at this time, Zhao Gou is still quite good for Gao Daquan, although it is for the sake of Gao Daquan and the use value.

Gao Daquan nodded and understood that he was measured, and then said goodbye and left.

The capital is already panicked, not to mention the Daimyo's Mansion.

However, Zhao Gou's actions were very fast, and since he had adopted Gao Daquan's suggestion, he immediately sent the dead man to the Daimyo's Mansion.

Liang Zhongshu is a civil official, and he doesn't need to be too powerful at all to threaten him.

Zhao Gou asked the dead soldiers around him to find Liang Zhongshu with a poison pill that could attack at any time, there was no nonsense at all, and he directly fed Liang Zhongshu to eat the poison pill.

The distance between the capital and the Daimyo's Mansion was very close, and Zhao Gou used all his strength, and when all this dust settled, it was not more than half an hour before Gao Daquan's proposal.

At this time, because it took some energy to break through Pudong, the army led by Jin Wushu did not immediately start as before, but renovated it, which also left enough time for the Daimyo's Mansion to prepare.

Liang Zhongshu wanted to cry very much, but he had already eaten the poison, and it was useless to cry again.

Since there is no way out, Liang Zhongshu can only give it a go.

He immediately arranged for people to appease the people, and showed a posture of co-existence and death with the Daimyo's mansion.

With the statement of his supreme governor, the people of the Daimyo Mansion did calm down a little.

Liang Zhongshu sent someone to call the defending generals of the Daimyo Mansion, but he didn't know that the military had been completely chaotic at this time.

In order to increase the strength of the Daimyo's Mansion, Zhao Gou dispatched many generals to garrison it in advance, after all, the Daimyo's Mansion was the last barrier in the capital.

However, Zhao Gou's actions could not be concealed from the seven major factions, and in wartime, the seven major factions were especially bold.

Under the banner of aiding the Daimyo's Mansion, many people from the Seven Great Sects came from all directions with their armies.

In the army, the power of the seven major factions is not small.

They made up their minds to disrupt the Daimyo's mansion, and it turned out to be successful.

And among these seven factions, there is one person who is particularly eye-catching.

He was of short stature, had a dark face, and did not look amazing.

But all of these reckless men in the army showed him great respect.

This person, whose full name is Song Jiang, is known as Gongming, ranking third, and the people in the rivers and lakes are called "Timely Rain", also known as "Hu Baoyi".

Because of his black face and short body, people called him Hei Song Jiang, and he was filial to his family, and he was righteous and squandering money, and everyone called him "Filial Piety Hei Saburo".

Song Jiang's name is very big, and he has a wide range of friends.

But these people respect Song Jiang, not just because of this.

The most important reason is that Song Jiang and Liangshan's first leader, Chao Gai Chao Tianwang, grew up together since childhood, and they are inseparable from each other.

This time, Song Jiang came to recruit these generals on behalf of Chao Gai.

And Liangshan is one of the seven major factions, and it is the one with the deepest roots in the army.

Half of the people here today are descendants of Liangshan.

Song Jiang's attitude is crucial.
