‘Bang!’ The sound of items breaking was heard in the room.
The maids standing at the door were so frightened that they didn't dare to take a breath.
"You bastard, I think so highly of you, but now you're just a stupid pig!"
In the room, Wan Yanchang was furious, pointing at Li Cheng who was kneeling on the ground and yelling, "If you want money, I will give you money. If you want things, I will give you things. If we don't have enough troops, I will transfer them to you from the Central Plains. But how do you repay me?"
An army of 100,000 people was completely destroyed, and you still have the nerve to come back to see me?"
Li Cheng lowered his head and said nothing. He could not escape directly back to Bianliang. He had to pass this level.
"The incompetence of his humble position has disappointed the marshal."
"The army of 100,000 is gone. Is it enough for you to just say that you are incompetent?"
Wan Yanchang was so angry that he was trembling all over. He pointed at Li Cheng and said: "Forget it! Forget it! You are not a Jurchen general, and I have no right to deal with you. You can go back to Bianliang today. I will write to Liu Yu and ask him to
Come and deal with it, get out of here, get out of here!"
Li Cheng was so frightened that he ran away with his head in his arms.
At this time, Wan Yan and Li Sa admonished: "Why is Marshal Du so angry? They are not Jurchen soldiers anyway, they are Han! Even if 200,000 people die, there is no need to worry. Marshal Du still needs to take care of himself."
Wanyan drank from Lisa and persuaded him, while he motioned to the maid next to him to quickly serve the tea, and then put away the broken teacups on the ground.
Several maids served tea and took away the broken pieces of the tea cup.
Wan Yanchang calmed down a little, took a sip of tea, and said in a very depressed mood: "I don't feel sorry for the one hundred thousand troops, I am worried about Chen Qing. With so many prisoners of war, his strength will definitely increase again. What if the Wolf Lord
If we die, we all have to go back. I'm really worried about whether the Shaanxi Road can be maintained?"
Wanyan drank and Lisa thought for a while and said, "If it doesn't work out, I won't go back. I don't believe that Chen Qing can take advantage of me while I'm in charge of Shaanxi Road?"
Wanyanchang was about to have an attack, but he held it back. Wanyan had such a temper. He would never change it even if he said it ten thousand times. He despised the Han people from the bottom of his heart. He really couldn't hand over 50,000 troops to him. This was
The capital to compete for status in the court.
Thinking of this, Wan Yanchang said slowly: "Let's do this! I will put pressure on Liu Yu and ask him to mobilize another 50,000 troops to Shaanxi Road to help you defend Shaanxi."
........
Since Wanyan Wushu took control of the Central Plains, he began to have a sense of territory and regarded the Central Plains as his territory. Under the persuasion of his adviser Fan Gong, he changed his previous plundering and brutality and decided to let the water go to fish, demanding that the puppet Qi
The state lowered taxes, encouraged farming, and encouraged commerce. He succeeded Wan Yanchang and became the overlord of the puppet state of Qi.
But the problem is that his 100,000-strong army needs to be supported by the pseudo-Qi State. The pseudo-Qi State itself still has an army of 400,000 people to support. Now, even if they kill chickens and lay eggs, they can't even collect enough military food. How can it be possible to do frivolous corvee and low taxes, and how can it be possible to reduce commercial taxes?
Therefore, although Wanyan Wushu wanted to let the water go and raise fish, it was actually not realistic and completely impossible.
That morning, counselor Fan Gong hurried to Wanyan Wushu's official room, cupped his fists and said to Wanyan Wushu: "I just got a new message. Wan Yanchang asked Liu Yu to send another 50,000 troops to Guanzhong."
Wanyan Wushu had already heard the news that the puppet Qi army was defeated in Chengji County. The entire army of 100,000 men was actually wiped out, which really made him a little gloating. His attack on Monk Yuan was defeated several times, and the Jurchen army lost more than 200,000 people, but it was completely destroyed.
Yan Chang succeeded in attacking Hanzhong, and the entire Jin Kingdom's senior officials generally believed that his Wanyan Wushu was not as good as Wan Yanchang's, which put huge pressure on Wanyan Wushu.
Now a hundred thousand troops were completely destroyed in Qinzhou. Although Wan Yanchang was not under direct command, Wan Yanchang was the commander and he had to bear the responsibility for the failure. This made Wan Yan Wushu greatly relieved.
"Another fifty thousand troops are being mobilized. Does he think these are copper coins? He just spent one hundred thousand guan, and now he wants another 50,000 guan."
Wanyan Wushu sneered a few times and asked again: "What is Liu Yu's attitude?"
"Liu Yu didn't want to mobilize troops, but he was afraid of Wan Yanchang, so he sent someone to tell the news to Beiji."
"Hmph! He's afraid of Wanyanchang but not me?"
Wanyan Wushu snorted with dissatisfaction and said to Fan Gong: "Go and tell Liu Yu. If he wants to mobilize his troops, he will transfer his fifty thousand clouds from the army to Guanzhong. The armies in other places are not allowed to have a single soldier."
He mobilized.”
The 50,000 Yun soldiers were Liu Yu's bodyguards. How could Liu Yu transfer them to Wan Yanchang? The implication of Wan Yan Wushu was that Liu Yu was not allowed to transfer troops.
"I understand the humble position!"
After a pause, Fan Gong asked again: "Is it better to give less, such as 20,000 troops, or to give a sum of money and food and let Wan Yanchang recruit troops in Shaanxi?"
"no!"
Wanyan Wushu refused flatly, "This is an attitude that is not negotiable. Either he is loyal to me or he is loyal to Wanyan Chang. I hate this kind of two-pronged person the most in my life."
Wanyan Wushu had a very strong sense of territory. Wanyan Chang's territory was Shaanxi and Hedong. He had the ability to raise money and recruit his own troops, but it was simply wishful thinking to ask the Central Plains army to support him.
...........
In the Daqing Palace, Liu Yu listened to Prime Minister Zhang Xiaochun's report. After a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "I remember, aren't Wanyan Wushu and Wanyan Chang the same group? Why are they so powerful now?"
Zhang Xiaochun cupped his fists and said: "Wanyanchang is the peacemaker, and Wanyanwushu is the warlord. Their opinions are quite conflicting, but I heard that during the struggle to establish the crown prince of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyanwushu and Wanyanwushu were fighting.
Yan Zonghan was on the same line, and Wanyanchang supported Wanyan Zongpan. It is said that their struggle was very fierce. Wanyanchang repeatedly criticized Wanyan Wushu for the defeat of Sichuan and Shaanxi. In anger, Wanyan Wushu almost killed Wanyan with his sword.
Chang, they completely fell out over the fight for the crown prince."
Liu Yu said angrily: "They will fall out when they fall out, but what does it mean to put me in the middle?"
Zhang Xiaochun sighed and said: "What Wanyan Wushu means is to ask His Majesty to take sides. Should you support him or Wanyanchang?"
Liu Yu paced back and forth in the imperial study with his hands behind his hands. He was really upset. He couldn't afford to offend either of them. How could he choose?
Zhang Xiaochun hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, this day will come sooner or later. It is impossible to remain ambiguous. Moreover, we just lost a hundred thousand troops, and we are asked to bring fifty thousand troops to go over. We ourselves cannot afford it!"
Liu Yu glanced at Li Cheng who was standing aside and said: "Li Dutong, don't be silent anymore, you can also talk!"
Li Cheng said for a long time: "Wei Chen thinks that Mr. Zhang is right and we should not send any more troops to Guanzhong."
"What's the reason?"
Li Cheng said angrily: "Both Wanyanchang and Wanyanhelisa regarded our army as pigs and dogs. In order to test the strength of the Song army's garrison troops in Hanzhong, they drove our soldiers to die. Most of our soldiers were burned to death by the fire, and the remaining
The soldiers who had fled back were all hacked to death by the Jurchen military soldiers with sharp axes, but not a single one of their Jurchen soldiers came up, and they sent 50,000 more people to die."
Liu Yu finally nodded, "Okay! I will listen to your advice and refuse Wan Yanchang, saying that Wanyan Wushu vetoed our plan to send troops."
...........
There is a large official residence covering an area of ten acres on the East Street next to Daxiangguo Temple in Bianliang. This is the residence of Guan Shigu, the economic envoy of Henan Prefecture. At this time, the residence is covered with white flags, and there are faint sounds of crying.
Shrouded in a miserable wind and rain.
Twenty days ago, the Qi court had informed Guan Shigu’s family of his death in battle in Qinzhou. Guan Shigu’s whole family burst into tears. The key body was missing, and even the ashes could not be returned.
Trapped in great sorrow.
According to customs, if there is no body left like Guan Shigu, a senior monk must perform rituals for seven or forty-nine days before the soul can be saved, and finally a tomb of clothes and hats can be built for burial.
But the Guan family never expected that just twenty days later, officials from Kaifeng Prefecture would come to inform them that they were moving.
An official from the Kaifeng Mansion whose surname was Liang was a promotion official. He laughed dryly and pretended to be innocent and said: "In this imperial system, official residences cannot be inherited. If you have no place to live temporarily, you can rent a house! Guandu Tong
With a pension of hundreds of dollars, renting a house should not be a big problem."
Guan Shigu's eldest son, Guan Xiaolin, angrily rebuked: "My father died for the country, and even his body is gone. You keep asking us to express our condolences, but as soon as you turn your back, you will drive us out of the house. Is this the consequence of working for you? You have no conscience."
Was it eaten by a dog?”
Liang Tuiguan's face darkened and he said coldly: "Master Guan, you have to be careful what you say. Slandering the imperial court is a serious crime!"
"I want to see how the imperial court explains to the soldiers of the three armies?"
Another official next to him who was in charge of making excuses quickly pulled Guan Xiaolin aside and said with a helpless expression: "Don't be angry in the office. Someone is interested in this house and is putting pressure on the superiors. There is nothing we can do."
