As one of the five capitals of the Jin Kingdom, Shangjing is naturally an extremely prosperous place.
Although it is far inferior to Lin'an in the Song Dynasty, there are also two to three hundred thousand people in Shangjing. Coupled with the nearly 200,000 troops stationed in the city, there are even more people in Shangjing.
It seems a bit crowded.
Shangjing Liushou Mansion is located in the center of the entire Shangjing city.
The entire Shangjing City is also centered on this mansion and is distributed in parallel to the surrounding areas.
In the four directions of southeast, northwest, there are four huge military camps.
The four city walls, city gates, and barbicans are all garrisoned by these four barracks.
For Gao Cunfu, he is the emperor of this capital city! Whether they are nobles or common people, their life and death are all determined by his own thoughts!
In fact, Gao Cunfu was not a stubborn person, let alone a die-hard loyalist to King Hailing.
If possible, he would certainly be willing to become one of Wanyan Yong's most trusted ministers and continue to survive in the Jin Dynasty.
It's a pity that sometimes God's will plays tricks on people! When King Hailing came to dominate, he had already become Wan Yanyong's mortal enemy.
Even though Wan Yanyong was a member of the royal family at that time, he was still under his supervision.
He is a close confidant of King Hailing, and Wanyanyong is a potential enemy of King Hailing. Therefore, the opposition between him and Wanyanyong is almost natural.
Originally, he didn't care about this kind of hostility, and he didn't think that this kind of hostility would affect him.
However, what he did not expect was that Wan Yanyong, a powerful hero, would take advantage of King Hailing's attack on the Song Dynasty to rebel and succeed in one fell swoop.
King Hailing, whom he once loyal to, also died directly on the border of the Song Dynasty! Fortunately, Gao Cunfu was not an idiot. When he sensed something was wrong, he immediately chose to escape and took the opportunity to recruit the forces he could control.
.
Finally, while Wanyan Yong was pacifying Zhongdu and the Central Plains, he led these forces back to his hometown in Shangjing.
Of course, from this point on, his existence also became subtle!
His enemy rose to power and became emperor, and his fate was almost sealed.
However, Gao Cunfu naturally would not give in! Back then, when Wanyanyong first stepped onto the throne, he had imagined whether Wanyanyong would let him go if he surrendered voluntarily.
Therefore, as a stayer in the capital, he presented a memorial to the new emperor Wanyan Yong, not only acknowledging the new emperor's status, but also expressing his allegiance in a very pertinent manner.
Wan Yanyong's reply was also extremely 'pertinent'! First he affirmed Gao Cunfu's contribution to the Kingdom of Jin, and then he was awarded the title of General of the General's Office! And this general is ranked above the marshals of the left and right, and can
He is said to be the first person in the Jin Kingdom's military.
However, to accept this position, Gao Cunfu also needed to leave Shangjing and go to Zhongdu to take up the post.
After receiving the reply, Gao Cunfu thought for a long time: Is he... lying to me? After thinking deeply, Gao Cunfu sincerely rejected the high position of the general, saying that he was not talented enough and only needed someone to go to Beijing.
The left-behind position is enough.
After that, there was a tacit agreement between the two to cut off correspondence!
Gao Cunfu knew that Wanyanyong would not let him go, and Wanyanyong would not sit back and watch a tiger lying next to his bed that could rise up at any time.
Although Gao Cunfu's strength is indeed not weak, he also knows that if he wants to fight against Wan Yanyong, he does not have much capital at all.
In fact, even the confrontation can make him powerless.
Under such circumstances, Gao Cunfu would naturally not be willing to wait for death.
Therefore, he secretly made contact with the Mongolian Wanggu tribe and Xixia.
After making a promise, the Xixia and Wanggu tribes sent troops to march eastward, which led to the previous Battle of Xijing in the Jin Kingdom!
Gao Cunfu's plan was actually extremely complete. As long as the armies of the two countries entered the Jin Kingdom, Wan Yanyong's attention would be diverted, and the Jin Kingdom's power would also converge towards Xijing Road.
Next, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses from the two sides will start a battle. If the Jin side loses, Gao Cunfu can take the opportunity to propose conditions to Wan Yanyong! At that time, under the pressure of Xixia and the Wanggu tribe, I am afraid that as long as the conditions are not too
If it was too much, Wanyanyong could only agree.
It doesn't matter if the Jin Kingdom wins! After all, such a war will not only take a long time, but even if it wins, it will definitely be a tragic victory.
Because the combat power of Xixia and Wanggu tribes is not weak.
The most beneficial outcome is for the two sides to compete together. When the time comes, Gao Cunfu is a gambler with enough capital and can put his chips on either side to influence the battle and achieve his own goals.
Purpose.
As for letting his subordinates contact Shen Tang, this was indeed Gao Cunfu's order.
The enemy of his enemy is his friend, and everyone knows the hostile relationship between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty! As long as the two countries are still hostile and can hold back Wanyan Yong's large number of troops, it is a good thing for him.
As for the conditions put forward by Shen Tang, in his opinion, they were nothing at all.
Thousands of uncastrated war horses are indeed precious, but what does they have to do with his great fortune?
In the current Jin Kingdom, Wanyanyong's world is not one of his. It is only good for him that the strength of the Song Dynasty can be increased a little.
Therefore, without thinking much, he directly agreed to the conditions proposed by Shen Tang.
It's a pity that God's will plays tricks on people! Gao Cunfu's perfect plan had flaws! First of all, it was the Song Dynasty. He underestimated Wan Yanyong's magnanimity and wisdom. The peace talks between the two countries did not occur at all because of his participation.
Any disturbance, because this was originally within Shen Tang’s and even Wan Yanyong’s plan.
Subsequently, the Battle of Xijing Road broke out, and the Jin Kingdom sent troops to Datong. At the beginning, it was also extremely smooth. Ning's actions were almost as he expected. However, something like Shen Tang happened!
This accident directly caused the entire Xijing Road battlefield to escape Gao Cunfu's control. The Jin Kingdom not only won, but also won a great victory. In fact, this battle involving hundreds of thousands of horses only took more than a month.
That's it.
While Gao Cunfu was still sitting and watching the play, suddenly, the few remaining soldiers of the Xixia and Wanggu tribes retreated.
Ning's losses due to the inferior format were extremely small, almost negligible! This battle was as if it was dedicated to Jin Bing Yang Wei. No matter what Gao Cunfu thought, he never expected such a result.
After all, this was much worse than the worst result he expected!
