Chapter 662 Zhao Gou Digging a Pit (Part 2)
Cai Yan had no possibility of retreating. When Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan failed to dispel all the worries of Wu Qimai, it was also impossible to retreat. However, both sides needed rest and stabilize the morale of the army and the people.
There can be confrontation on the surface or even small-scale fights, but in private, it requires a "arrest" tacit understanding.
Qin Hui was scolded by Cai Yan, and finally had to return to Guanzhong on the same road. Before he had stepped on Tongguan, Daming Mansion and Hezhong Mansion heard the death of the envoy of Song. He did not dare to hesitate at all and ran back to Chang'an overnight.
The envoy of Chang'an was sent away by the Ming army in a cold face. The General's Mansion sent two military orders at the same time. One was the Lianghuai, and the remaining soldiers and yamen runners in various prefectures and counties in Henan Province must help ordinary households farm. The other military order was to strictly order the Ming army to confront Jin and not easily attack the opposite Jin soldiers.
When Qin Hui ran back to Chang'an, in addition to the people who fled to the Ming army from time to time in the occupied areas, the millions of troops confronting each other entered a relatively calm period. After the news came back to Chang'an, Zhao Gou killed several palace maids in succession, and even scolded Qin Hui half to death.
After several days of discussion, there was no final conclusion. Zhao Gou's cheeks were also red and swollen, his tone changed.
"The damn thief of the Cai family is too cunning and is not fooled at all. Everyone... do you guys have any good plans?"
...
After a while, no one spoke. Zhao Gou was angry and couldn't help looking at Wang Boyan. Wang Boyan lamented in his heart, and had to go out with a serious face and hold his fists.
"As Your Majesty said, the Cai family is too cunning and is unwilling to retreat and negotiate peace. Lord Zhang's good plan cannot be implemented, and the people of Guanzhong..."
"Okay!"
When Wang Boyan thought of the repeated battles between the people and the soldiers in Chang'an City, he sighed helplessly, but he didn't have a good idea.
Seeing Wang Boyan's bitter face, Zhao Gou felt an indescribable anger in his heart, and pointed directly at Zhang Xu, Minister of Revenue.
"Zhang Aiqing, is the Ministry of Revenue still not rich or food?"
Zhang Xu couldn't help but look at Qu Duan with a cold face, hesitated for a long time, and still said bitterly: "When you go back to the official family, the people of Guanzhong are unwilling to admit salt banknotes, even if it is iron coins... the official family, the people of Chang'an City fight with soldiers almost every day. The old minister begged the official family to send some envoys to Chengdu. If they can convince the princess, they may... may stabilize the people of Guanzhong..."
"Bang!"
Before Zhang Xu's words were finished, Zhao Gou was furious and pointed at Zhang Xu and cursed.
"Damn it!"
"The state affairs are so difficult. I have not plundered my troops, but I just used silver to buy them. Why don't they recognize my money-"
When Zhao Gou thought of frequent fights between the people and soldiers in various prefectures and counties in Guanzhong, he felt anger in his heart.
“Huhu…”
“Huhu…”
"The people are in chaos...the people are in chaos..."
"It's all chaotic people-"
Zhao Gou looked at Zhang Jun with red eyes.
"Zhang Jun!"
"How did your Privy Council envoy--"
"Why do I have so many chaotic people under my rule-"
"Why can a group of chaotic people tie up my brave generals-"
Zhang Jun hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, but when he was kneeling down to confess his guilt, he turned around and looked at the Shaanxi-Gansu general standing with a cold face.
"I am not strict in governing my army, so I ask the officials to punish me!"
Zhang Xu and Zhang Jun looked at the cold-faced generals in Shaanxi and Gansu. How could Zhao Gou not see it? But he was so angry. Why didn’t the Shaanxi and Gansu generals come out and say a few words?
After waiting for a long time, Wuwei General Qu Duan, Xihe Road Administrator Liu Xi, Qinfeng Road Administrator Sun Wei, Jingyuan Road Administrator Liu Qi, Huanqing Road Administrator Zhao Zhe, Xihe Langu Road Administrator Guan Shigu... No one spoke, and he bowed his head and said nothing...
Seeing this scene, Wang Boyan was helpless and had to go out and hold his fists. When he was about to speak, Zhao Gou suddenly waved his hand and stood up, strode to Qu Duan, and looked up at the Western Army general who was much taller and taller than him.
"Does the Shaanxi-Gansu-Xiang Army want to rebel?"
The ministers were shocked and looked at the king and ministers with horror.
Qu Duan lowered his eyebrows and remained silent for a long time...
"There are rumors in Luoyang that the official family was filled with strong wine, sealed his mouth and nose, and burned to death by the official family. The thief of the Cai family was too cunning. The Mo Jiang did not believe that the official family would kill the general in vain, but only thought it was the traitor of the Cai family."
"What do the officials think?"
Zhao Gou's face changed wildly, and Wang Boyan was frightened and grabbed Zhao Gou's arm regardless of etiquette. At this time, Zhao Gou did not resist and was pulled behind by Wang Boyan.
"What General Qu said is that the thief in the Cai family is too cunning. How could the court do something that the relatives are sad and the enemy is happy? It must be the plan of the Cai family thief in the gap!"
Qu Duan nodded and said, "Qu also thought it was a traitor from the Cai family."
"It must be the traitor of the Cai family..."
"The thief of the Cai family is too treacherous and slanders the court so much..."
“That’s it…”
...
Zhao Gou suddenly burst out of anger, but he hung himself in the air. The court had no way to continue the discussion and left with a slight swaying his sleeves.
As soon as he moved into the back house, the eunuch who was following him was in trouble. Zhao Gou kicked someone angrily every time he took a few steps. When he arrived at the backyard, he saw Zhao Ji and his brothers sitting around drinking tea. Seeing this scene, he turned around and kicked a eunuch.
"snort!"
Zhao Gou stepped forward with a cold face, clasped his fists and bowed to Zhao Ji.
"I've seen my father!"
"My father and several brothers are here, are there any important things?"
Zhao Gou had a cold face, and Zhao Ji was also a little scared, but he was me after all, and a few cowardly sons bowed their heads and dared not speak out, so he could only speak with a tough bullet.
"That... the families have not paid any money for some days. Could it be... Could it be that you, an unfilial son, want to learn from the thief of the Jin Dynasty, and also want to starve to death as your father?"
Zhao Huan looked at the brothers and said hesitantly: "Eighth brother... I also know that the imperial court's national tax is insufficient, but... but there is really no food in the family..."
"Money, money, money, money...you know, ask me for money, food-"
Zhao Gou suddenly stood up and roared, scaring Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan, Zhao Kai, Zhao Shu who were originally sitting... all stood up, and he was very frightened and took a big step back.
Zhao Gou pointed his finger at his father Zhao Ji, and then pointed at Zhao Huan, with a ferocious look on his face and angry.
"If it weren't for you... how could the damn Cai family thief run to Jiangnan-
"How can I take away my Zhao family's territory--"
“Huhu…huhu…”
"A stone...a damn stone-"
Zhao Gou pointed at Zhao Huan who was frightened and dared not speak out.
"For a damn stone, you bastard lock up that damn child, you bastard cut him with one knife-"
"It's a shot to kill him-"
"That damn little thief is dead, how can I lose Jiangnan in Dasong-"
...
Zhao Gou was red and swollen on his cheeks, pointing at Zhao Huan, and he couldn't help but pointing at Sang and scolding Huai. Zhao Ji opened his mouth repeatedly, but couldn't say a word.
The angry Zhao Gou was particularly terrified. Wang Boyan and Qin Hui, who rushed over, were not good at all, and were all cursed by pointing to the nose, from Cai Yan to the Jin people, from Jin people to the Shaanxi-Gan generals, from Shaanxi-Gan generals to the people of Shaanxi-Gan generals...
Anyway, he just cursed everyone in the world and scolded everyone. Fortunately, Cai Yan couldn't see such a scene. Otherwise, he would definitely greet his wives, big and small, and sit in a stool and eat melon seeds to watch the show.
