As soon as Zhao Kai said these words, Li Qi suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
Although Zongze had just said that Yue Fei would be punished with military law, Li Qi just listened and did not take it seriously. But when Zhao Kai said this, the meaning is completely different. You Yue Fei holds the elite of the Western Army, and
If you go and borrow so much money, what else can you do besides rebel?
For the emperor, the impact was too great.
This Yue Fei has been with me for so long, why is he still seeking death in disguise? I, a time traveler, have even changed history, but I can't change Yue Fei because of Mao. It makes no sense. Li Qi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please calm down, I am a humble minister.
I think there must be some misunderstanding."
"What misunderstanding? Yue Fei's disobedience to orders is already a capital crime." Zhao Kai shouted angrily.
"I think Yue Feiding must have encountered some difficulties. How about waiting for Wei Chen to ask clearly before making a conclusion?"
Zhao Kai snorted and turned his head away, angry, but he didn't quite believe that Yue Fei would do something treacherous and unethical.
Li Qi hurriedly asked Chen Dao: "For what reason did Yue Fei borrow this huge sum of money from you?"
Chen Daodao: "Military secrets."
"Military--military secrets?"
Li Qi was stunned for a while and said in surprise: "You guys want to borrow this too?"
Chen Daowei said: "General Yue is the commander of the front department of your country, the head of the three yamen, the son-in-law of the Zhe family, and the proud disciple of the old general Zhong and the privy envoy. Moreover, they are here to rescue us and help us."
We drove away Wanyan Zonghan's army, how could we not borrow it? Although we also asked the reason, General Yue said it was a secret ordered by the Privy Envoy, so we didn't dare to ask more."
Now that they have requests from the Song Dynasty, they naturally want to please the Song Dynasty, and Yue Fei is a reinforcement. How dare they offend Yue Fei?
Zhao Kai suddenly turned his head and looked at Li Qi.
Oh my god, Yue Fei is really a deceitful guy. He would have gotten involved with this guy. There must be no good. Li Qi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, I, Li Qi, dare to swear to God. I have nothing to do with this."
It doesn’t matter at all.”
Zhao Kai snorted softly, but a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes.
Oops, Yue Fei, I really got killed by you. Who do you blame, but me? Li Qi said to Chen Dao again: "No, no, you are fighting Wanyan Xiyin. You must have reserves."
If it’s not enough, how can there be money to lend to Yue Fei? There must be fraud in this.”
Chen Daodao said: "This is absolutely true. If General Yue borrowed food, we wouldn't be able to get it out even if we sell iron. But General Yue borrowed silks, tea, porcelain and other things that have nothing to do with war reserves, and
, he also asked us to come here with this IOU in exchange for food, so we lent it to him."
"Lingluo satin?"
Li Qi frowned and cursed secretly, these stupid profiteers are still talking so high-sounding. Now that the war is raging, these things are of some use to you, so just leave them alone. Only that fool Yue Fei will buy them.
If I knew that he didn't bargain and completely lowered the price, I would be angry to death. That's not how buying and selling works. He said, "Do you have 300,000 pieces of silk and satin in Wu Ci Haicheng?"
Chen Daodao: "Because Wucihaicheng is close to Monan, the transactions between the two parties have always been very close. We still have a lot of goods in Wucihaicheng."
Li Qi nodded and asked: "Then do you know where Yue Fei went with these things?"
Chen Daodao: "We also asked. General Yue just said to go to Yunzhou, and later our general sent people to investigate. But General Yue ordered people to blame us, saying that we didn't believe him and were afraid of people monitoring him, so we
Withdrew the sentinels, and now we no longer know the whereabouts of General Yue."
Li Qi saw that this guy was also confused and asked in vain, so he said: "Okay. We know this. You have been tired from traveling and traveling, so you must be exhausted. Go down and rest for a while, and we will give you a satisfactory answer."
explanation of."
"yes."
After Chen Dao left, Zhao Kai immediately said: "Li Qi, I tell you clearly that I will never pay back this money. Yue Fei borrowed it, so you ask them to ask Yue Fei for it."
He is the front minister of the palace and your confidant. If you don't pay back, who will pay it back? Li Qidao: "Your Majesty, please be patient. We can get the money even if we don't have to pay it."
Zhao Kaicuo asked in astonishment: "What do you mean?"
Li Qi said with a bad smile: "Have you forgotten, Your Majesty? We originally planned to provide free food assistance to Xixia. Now that the situation has changed, we will just repay them with these grains. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"
Zhao Kai was stunned for a moment and said: "This is not about the 300,000 yuan, but why Yue Fei did this. Does he still take me as the emperor in his eyes? I really mistrusted him."
Li Qidao: "Your Majesty, we all know what kind of person Yue Fei is. He will never do those treacherous things. Moreover, with his small number of people, what kind of trouble can he cause? As for why he did this, I believe
There must be his reasons. Anyway, things have happened. Why don’t we look at this matter with an optimistic attitude? There is still a powerful enemy in front of us."
Zongze also said: "Your Majesty, what the Privy Councilor said is that what should not have happened has already happened. We don't even know where Yue Fei and the others have gone. It's useless to think about it. The war is urgent right now."
Zhao Kai glanced at the two of them, closed his eyes and nodded.
After leaving the tent, Li Qi immediately came to Ma Qiao and said: "Ma Qiao, please immediately order our people in Xixia to rush to Mongolia and ask them to find Prince Erduo of the Dadan tribe to help me find out about Yue Fei.
information."
"oh."
Ma Qiao suddenly asked: "Hey, Privy Councilor, when did you get in touch with this ethnic group in Mobei?"
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "You have underestimated me, haven't you? Wherever there is business, there is my power."
This sentence is not an exaggeration at all. The Song Dynasty is the largest economic power in the world today, and Li Qi is the richest businessman in the Song Dynasty. His business is spread all over Eurasia, including Mongolia. This business is a new one.
If two people are familiar with each other, as long as they both have needs, they can quickly establish a very good relationship, even though the two parties have never met.
Ma Qiao said oh again, and then asked: "Do you think Yue Fei and the others are going to Mobei?"
"This is also my guess. If Yue Fei came to Yunzhou, it is impossible for us not to know. If Yue Fei went south, he should have encountered Wanyan Zongwang's troops. The Xixia side should have received the news. Going west, they will encounter the whole army again.
Wu Cihaicheng should also know about Yan Xiyin's troops, so I guess Yue Fei is either wandering around the Hetao area or going to Mobei. But I don't know what this guy is doing in Mobei? After all, that place is far away from us.
The mountains are high and the water is far away.”
Li Qi sighed as he spoke, with confusion in his eyes.
News of the fall of Juyongguan quickly spread to Yunzhou.
The morale of the Jin army was hit again. Generals Gao Qingyi and Wanyanchang were all silent. They couldn't protect themselves at first, so how could they dare to divide their troops to rescue them.
Wanyan Zonghan also sighed, but he was not sighing for the loss of Juyong Pass, because he had no intention of taking Juyong Pass. He was sighing for the loss of troops. After all, he did not have many men in his hands, but he did not say much about it.
, said: "The matter has come to this, it is useless to say more. Now that the heavy rain has stopped, I have to set off. This Yunzhou City depends entirely on you. Unless everyone is dead, otherwise, Yunzhou will never be lost."
"Please rest assured, Commander, we will defend Yunzhou City to the death." Gao Qingyi said, "But Commander, do you want to bring more people with you? Isn't eight thousand too few?"
Wanyan Zonghan shook his head and said: "No need, eight thousand is enough. They still have some remaining troops in their hands. The total should be ten or twenty thousand, but the Song army must not notice this."
Wan Yanchang said: "Zong Han, don't worry. The north and northwest of Yunzhou are still our territory, and our people are stationed there. Moreover, I have sent more troops to search along the road. If the Southern Dynasty dares to send sentries to investigate, we will definitely
Make it impossible for them to escape."
Wanyan Zonghan nodded, and that night, he led his troops to the north gate of Yunzhou and secretly left the city. Although Wanyan Changdu said so, Wanyan Zonghan still divided his troops and left the city at night to avoid causing too much noise.
Almost at the same time, Zhao Kai also received a new report, and he was overjoyed. The haze caused by the IOU at that price was instantly swept away, because you have lost contact with Yue Fei, and there is no use thinking about it anymore. Focus on the present.
yes.
Zongze said excitedly: "Now that Wuzhou has been captured by us, and Xinzhou is also within our grasp, after taking Juyongguan, Zhang Jun's troops can cooperate with Liu Kai's army to attack Ruzhou and Guizhou from both sides, and capture these four states.
It's just a matter of time, as long as we capture Yunzhou along the way, we can completely occupy the Yanyun area."
Zhao Kai laughed and said: "Once we control Yanyun, we can rely on the Great Wall to defend the Jin army, and then march into the Hetao area, attack Yan Zongwang from both sides, and maybe capture the Hetao area. If there is Yanyun and Hetao, we will
The Song Dynasty no longer needs to be afraid of these nomads. Then it will not be that they can attack us at any time, but that the time has come for us to attack them."
What a beautiful vision this is!
The soldiers of the Song Army felt very excited just listening to it.
Liu Qi added: "In the past few days, the Jin army has retreated to the moat, and they are still stepping up efforts to widen the river. They must want to defend the city and wait for the arrival of reinforcements. In this case, they will have to fight a positional battle with us. We
The artillery can finally show off its might."
Zongze shook his head and said: "Although we have firearms, we must not be careless. This Yunzhou City has always been a battleground for military strategists. Its walls are very strong, not weaker than Yanshan Prefecture, and there are many defensive equipment. We must
Be careful and take every step carefully.”
The more critical this moment is, the more cautious we should be, because the other party is not a fool. Since Wanyan Zonghan chose to defend the city, he must be certain.
