After Bolu captured Ningzhou, he immediately sent out his troops and divided his army with Zhang Rou, Shi Tianze and others to march towards Qingyang Mansion. For a time, people in Qingyang Mansion were panicked, and the people fled in all directions and took refuge in the wild forests in the nearby mountains.
Disaster of war.
Soon, the Polo army arrived. Wanyan Zhidu, the envoy of Xuanfu on Qingyuan Road, looked around at the top of the city. He saw that the Polo army was huge, stretching from the ground to the sky, with a strength of at least 80,000!
"What is Tuo Lei doing? Is he trying to destroy our Kingdom of Jin? All of this is thanks to Cui Li!"
Wanyan Zhidu originally thought that this was just a revenge launched by Tu Lei to anger the Jin Kingdom for fully supporting Wokuotai, and it would not be very large in scale.
Who would have thought that in just half a month, Yuanzhou, Ningzhou and other places have fallen one after another, and now 80,000 troops are pressing down on the border. How can this be revenge? This is clearly a war to destroy the country!
Wanyan was roaring fiercely, his eyes were bloodshot, he was extremely sad, angry and frightening.
Xu Cong, an aide beside him, said: "Your Majesty, the military situation is urgent. It is best to send a document quickly and ask for help from the imperial court."
"Yes, yes, hurry, hurry, get paper and ink."
Wanyan Zhidu immediately wrote a request for help at the top of the city, and then ordered someone to rush 800 miles to Kaifeng, Nanjing, to request reinforcements from the imperial court.
At this time, Cui Li had been appointed as the privy envoy and took charge of the military power of the Jin Kingdom. He had ascended to the sky in one step and attracted countless people who followed the trend. He was extremely proud.
At this time, Cui Li was leisurely sipping wine in the duty room of the Privy Council, holding a beautiful concubine in his arms.
Cui Li was in a very good mood. He drank happily with his concubine and raised glasses frequently. The two of them also teased each other and laughed again and again.
On both sides of them, there were several musicians playing music. People who didn't know it thought this was Cui Li's private residence.
It is simply unheard of and unseen for a dignified Privy Council member of a country to be so ridiculous. However, everyone in the Privy Council just pretended not to see it.
The Cui Li brothers cooperated with each other internally and externally, formed cliques for personal gain, and controlled the government. Now they have overwhelming power. Who can offend them now?
Just when Cui Li was drinking happily, Yan Bojia, the political minister of Pingzhang, came over in a hurry and shouted: "It's not good, it's not good, then the thunderous army is coming, Qingyang Mansion is surrounded."
Panting, Wanyan Bojia hurriedly entered the check-in room, which frightened the musicians and stopped playing and singing.
Wanyan Bojia walked up to Cui Li and said urgently: "Your Majesty, Wanyan Zhidu, the envoy of Xuanfu on Qingyuan Road, sent a request for help, saying that a hundred thousand Mongolian troops were pressing on the border and had destroyed Yuanzhou, Ningzhou and other places.
We are encircling Qingyang Mansion. Here is this letter. Please send troops as soon as possible. Reinforcement is like putting out a fire."
Before coming to Cui Li, Wanyan Bojia had already gone to see Wanyan Shouxu, but because Wanyan Shouxu was addicted to pleasure, Wanyan Bojia couldn't see him at all. In desperation, Wanyan Bojia had no choice but to come to Cui Li.
Cui Li's interest was disturbed and his face was unhappy. He reluctantly took his hands out of his concubine's clothes and said: "Wanyan Bojia, you have been around for half your life. Why make such a fuss? Our Daikin has a vast territory.
How can such a domineering country not have something happen to it? If I were like you every day, would I still be alive?"
Wanyan Bojia was stunned for a moment, then his face turned gloomy and the corners of his mouth twitched, obviously he was angry.
However, Cui Li and his sister had the trust of Wanyan Shouxu and were in great power. Wanyan Bojia did not dare to have an attack, so he had to pretend that nothing happened and endure it.
Cui Li took the document, glanced at it, and then said: "Okay, I know, you can go down."
Wanyan Bojia saw that Cui Li was not in a hurry and was not worried at all. He said anxiously: "Qingyang Mansion is the capital of Qingyuan Road. It is of great importance. Its survival or destruction is related to the destiny of our country. Please mobilize troops as soon as possible to support us.
, so as not to delay the fighter plane."
Cui Lideng was angry and said with a gloomy face: "I have my own mind on whether to send troops or not, so why do you need to dictate? If you are so capable, you can take on the position of Privy Councilor?"
"you!"
Wanyan Bojia was furious, his face flushed fiercely, and he said angrily: "Cui Li, this matter is of great importance. If Qingyang Mansion falls because of you, you will be my eternal sinner, Dajin!"
Cui Li suddenly stood up and pressed forward step by step, saying: "I have a strategy and my own decision. If you are anxious, just go to support with a kitchen knife. No one will stop you."
Wanyan Bojia pointed at Cui Li, his hands shaking with anger, but there was nothing he could do. Finally, he turned around angrily, threw up his sleeves and walked away.
"Humph, an old man who doesn't know how to make money comes to me to show off his authority. It's simply overestimating one's ability."
After saying that, Cui Li threw aside the request for help and said to the musician: "Keep playing music and keep dancing."
After receiving the instructions, the musicians started playing and singing again, and the watchers returned to their joyful mood, without even the slightest hint of an emergency.

It was not until dusk that Cui Li stood up lazily, and then slowly walked towards his sister Cui Qing'er's palace. He knew that Wanyan Shouxu must be there.
When he arrived at his sister's palace, Cui Li immediately changed his appearance. He became anxious, as if his buttocks had been burned by fire.
"Hurry, go and tell Master Lang that there is an urgent military situation."
When the eunuch Jia Zheng saw Cui Li being so anxious, he kept nodding his head and said: "Okay, okay, we'll go and pass the message right away. Please wait a moment."
Jia Zheng went in to see Wanyan Shouxu, but at this time Wanyan Shouxu was having fun with Cui Qing'er, and Jia Zheng didn't know whether to report it or not.
Forget it, it’s not too late, let’s wait a moment. If the report is made now and violates Master Lang’s taboo, his life will be in danger.
Jia Zheng came out and apologized to Cui Li: "Master Lang is busy with state affairs, please wait for a while."
Cui Li understood the idea and nodded: "Okay."
After saying that, Cui Li added: "I heard that old man Wanyan Bojia also came here today?"
Jia Zhengdao: "He came, but we followed the envoy's instructions and pushed him back whenever we could."
"Well, you did a good job. If Master Lang asks about it later, you can just say that he has never been here. Do you understand?"
"Yes, our family understands."
"How is the relationship between the master and the empress lately? Has the master ever favored other concubines?"
"Let you rest assured that the master only favors the empress and shows disdain for the other concubines. The empress's position in the harem is as stable as a mountain."
Cui Li was very satisfied after hearing this. Only if his sister is favored can he have the confidence to control the affairs of the foreign court.
"Very good. If anything happens in the palace, please inform me at any time."
"Yes, your Majesty."
Not long after, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped, Wanyan Shouxu ended his conquest, threw his head back and collapsed on the bed, looking unwilling and a little ashamed at the same time.
Cui Qing'er has been around many men and what kind of person she is. With just one glance, she guessed Wanyan Shouxu's thoughts.
