Shi Wengong, Lin Chong, Guan Sheng, three armies, 21 generals, a total of 60,000 troops, marched into two prefectures and one city.
The troops and horses were not moved, but the food and grass went first. After the army set off, the states and counties stepped up their management so that they could adapt to our Daqi rule as soon as possible.
"Your Majesty, what should we do with Tong Guan?"
After the military deployment is completed, there are other things to deal with, such as the imprisoned Tong Guan.
"Tong Guan was full of evil deeds. Pindao suggested that we build a prison car and parade Tong Guan through the streets to enumerate the darkness and corruption of the Song Dynasty and promote our Daqi justice."
Gongsun Sheng has already fallen in love with this kind of publicity. The first thing he wanted to do was to use Tong Guan for waste.
"It's better to sell Tong Guan to the Song Dynasty. Firstly, we can pay back some weapons, horses, finances, etc., and strengthen our army. Secondly, if a traitor like Tong Guan is placed in the Song Dynasty court, it will harm the Song Dynasty court.
Woolen cloth."
Zhu Wu chuckled, this enemy is not a good thing, why should we help the enemy clean up the garbage? Putting it back can be exchanged for money, but it will also cause trouble.
Think about it, Tong Guan, Gao Qiu and other treacherous ministers surround Zhao Guan's family, and most of the people in the Song Dynasty court are villains who have defected to these treacherous ministers. So how can the Song Dynasty court not be a mess, then for us in Da Qi
, that’s the good news.
On the other hand, if these traitorous officials are all killed, then those truly capable loyal officials and good generals in the Song Dynasty will emerge, which will cause us a lot of trouble.
Pig teammates should be kept for Zhao Guan’s family.
"Even if Tong Guan is a pig, we still have to sell it at a good price. Wu Yong, go find Tong Guan and ask him to give you a token. Find Tong Guan's confidants in the court and ask them to give us some war horses privately.
, when the money and food come, even if the money is given, we will release him."
"I am sending an envoy to see the Emperor of the Song Dynasty and ask him to bring 5,000 war horses, 200,000 gold and silver jewels, and 500,000 dans of grain and grass. He will cede the Jingdong East Road to me, Da Qi, otherwise we, Da Qi, will take the Song Dynasty
The privy envoy Tong Guan paraded through the streets and publicly tried the privy envoys of the Song Dynasty."
"Go for it!"
Wang Lun simply synthesized everyone's opinions and finally planned to sell Tong Guan at a good price.
The privy envoy is now in charge of the highest military position. He is on an equal footing with the prime minister. I don't know if the Zhao Guan family still wants this honor.
After Wang Lun discussed it with his subordinates, no one objected. After all, there was not much hatred between them and Tong Guan.
If it was Captain Gao Qiu who was caught, Wang Lun would directly hand it over to Lin Chong.
Dai Zong and others were still very fast. After Tong Guan's men received the news, it caused a major earthquake in the officialdom.
Some people advocate paying money to redeem Tong Guan, but some people think that this is a matter for the imperial court. Why should we privately pay for it? Some of Tong Guan's retainers and some members of the family have begun to divide Tong Guan's property.
The news of Tong Guan's defeat and the annihilation of one hundred thousand troops could no longer be concealed. Zhao Guan's family learned of it and held an imperial meeting in panic and anger.
"Speak! Speak!"
"Aren't you telling me that Wang Lun is just a bandit, and Liangshan is just a group of bandits? Now Wang Lun's rebels have captured the prefectures and counties, arrogated the throne, and even captured our Privy Councilor alive!"
"Where do you want me to put my face?"
Zhao Guanjia pushed the things on the royal table and angrily shouted at Taishi Cai Jing, Taiwei Gao Qiu and others, as if they wanted to eat people.
"I'm scared, I'm guilty! Your Majesty, please calm down!"
"Your Majesty, calm down~"
Cai Jing, Gao Qiu and others knelt on the ground in fear. Even though they had great power, their power came from the emperor's favor.
Once they fall out of favor, their power will be destroyed instantly. Therefore, these treacherous ministers brought trouble to the court and preyed on the people. The Emperor of the Song Dynasty could not escape his crimes.
"Your Majesty, Tong Guan has humiliated the country by losing his master. His crime is unforgivable. He usually deceived the saints and brought disaster to the world. Now he has been captured alive by the rebels. Your Majesty immediately issued an order to demote Tong Guan to a commoner."
Zhang Shuye saw how angry Zhao Guan's family was, and he couldn't tell how happy he was. Tong Guan and you guys also have this day, so hurry up and ask the emperor to remove Tong Guan from his official position.
"Your Majesty, please remove Tong Guan from all official positions and titles, and put him on death penalty. In this way, the court will not be threatened by Wang Lun's traitors, and he can send generals and soldiers who are good at fighting in the court, and lead the imperial army to take advantage of Wang Lun's opportunity.
Destroy it!"
Su Yuanjing also quickly seconded the proposal, adding insult to injury and taking the opportunity to bring down Tong Guan's traitors.
"I second the proposal!"
"Please order to kill Tong Guan!"
"Kill the child to save face!"
A group of ministers who were at odds with Tong Guan and other treacherous ministers quickly stood up and agreed with Su Yuanjing and Zhang Shuye, wanting to kill Tong Guan completely and not give Tong Guan any chance to breathe.
This frightened Gao Qiu, Cai Jing and others, and they suddenly felt a sad feeling in their hearts.
"Your Majesty, you must not do it. Tong Guan has won battles for your Majesty and has contributed to the founding of the country. He is your Majesty's minister. If the imperial court dismissed him from office and executed him just because of his defeat, wouldn't it chill the hearts of all the officials in the world?
"
Cai Jing cried and begged Zhao Guan's family, "think about how much fun we had with you in the past."
"Your Majesty, after all, Tong Guan is our Privy Envoy of the Song Dynasty. If the imperial court does not want to find a way to rescue him, then in the future it will be unfavorable for the imperial court to send people to suppress the four bandits and deal with foreign enemies. Then everyone will be afraid when they think of Privy Privy Tong Guan.
, surrender to the rebels."
Gao Qiu hurriedly persuaded Zhao Guan's family that the matter should not start like this, otherwise everyone would be afraid, and who would sacrifice their lives for you?
"Your Majesty can send people to Zhaoan Wang Lun again, and this time we will spend all our money to Zhaoan. You can make Wang Lun the King of Qi, the General of the Conqueror Bandits, and ask him to lead his troops to abandon Jingdong East Road and conquer the other three bandits.
They kill each other."
"Or make Wang Lun the Grand Marshal of the Liao Dynasty, let him go north to conquer the Liao Kingdom, and let them bite dogs and kill each other."
"Your Majesty only needs an imperial edict to eliminate the traitors."
Cai Jing also proposed an imperial edict to Wang Lun.
Now the ministers in the court have changed their opinions. The ministers who previously advocated Zhao'an now advocate large army suppression. Those who previously advocated sending troops now change their views to Zhao'an.
The ministers began to quarrel again and criticized each other, but no one could convince anyone.
Zhao Guan's family had a big problem, but Wang Lun's reputation was getting higher and higher, so he had to solve it.
After some deliberation, the Song Dynasty court decided to make two preparations.
Taiwei Gao Qiu was ordered to lead 130,000 forbidden troops, 20,000 naval troops, and a total of 150,000 troops to march against Wang Lun. Gao Qiu personally went out. These 150,000 troops were the elite of the forbidden troops, with sufficient equipment and first-class logistics support.
.
Grand Master Cai Jing also specially dispatched ten military governors to serve under Gao Qiu to obey orders and lead troops to conquer.
Most of these ten military commanders were military generals who had fallen into disgrace and were recruited. They were also figures that caused a headache for the Song Dynasty court at the beginning. There were even five tiger-level generals among them. They had led troops to fight against Xixia, Daliao, and Jin Dynasty.
He can be regarded as a battle-hardened general.
Gao Qiu also mobilized two of his closest confidants to take control, both of whom were said to be brave enough to be worthy of all men.
Liu Menglong, the commander of the naval force, commanded the navy of Jinling Prefecture, and led the warships to attack Wang Lun's Qi State from the waterway.
In addition, the imperial court still sent envoys to recruit Wang Lun and make Wang Lun the King of Qi, so that Wang Lun could go north to conquer Tian Hu or go south to annihilate Fangla.
If Wang Lun does not accept the imperial edict, Gao Qiu will lead an army of 150,000 to defeat Wang Lun's Qi state.
