Eight hundred and eighty-sixth chapter digging the wall
Laizhou!
Tens of thousands of rebels were all captured overnight, and their two leaders and a group of generals were all captured. This battle could not be called less beautiful.
However, being beautiful does not mean that Yue Fei and the others are already very strong. The reason is that the enemy is too weak. After all, Tao Ding and others started their army not long ago, and they were all a ragtag group of people who could not fight at all. The reason why they were able to fight in the first place
It was smooth sailing because the army and officials of the Song Dynasty were too weak.
All in all, there are no tigers in the mountains and the monkey is the king.
Of course, this was a big deal for Cai You. When he heard about the great victory at Kunyu Mountain in Mizhou, he was so happy that he almost had a stroke. It was the first time he led an army alone and he made such a contribution.
Who in the imperial court dares to say that he is not qualified for the post of Privy Councilor? He has nothing to do with Tong Guan and Zhong Shi Dao. He immediately left the beauties around him and rushed to Laizhou to prepare for the celebration banquet.
When Yue Fei returned with the rebels, Cai You, Zhao Mingcheng and others went out to greet them. The huge formation frightened Yue Fei and Niu Gao. There was also joy in Laizhou City, and the people went out to greet them happily.
The hero returns.
At the banquet.
The first thing Yue Fei did was to protect Yang Zaixing, and he was even willing to use his own merits to offset Yang Zaixing's sins.
Cai You took a look at Yang Zaixing and saw that this man was very tall, strong and majestic. He was a fierce general. He also liked him very much. Of course, it was more for political purposes. Now he needed to win over the generals to replace him.
He had made military exploits by himself. Yang Zaixing was still young and a former bandit. If he could have given Yang Zaixing a favor when he was in the most critical moment, Yang Zaixing would not have done anything for him. He was so determined that he immediately agreed. Not only did he agree, but he also promised
He promised to find a good official position for Yang Zaixing.
Sure enough, Yang Zaixing, who had never seen the world, was extremely happy when he saw that an official as high as Cai You appreciated him so much. He quickly saluted and thanked him.
Cai You stroked his beard, laughed, and ordered someone to sit at the end.
It is extremely rare for a criminal and a hero to sit together at a celebration banquet! After all, Yang Zaixing is young and does not understand the twists and turns of officialdom. He was extremely moved and thanked him again before sitting down on his seat.
Cai You looked at Yue Fei and Niu Gao again and said with a smile: "The two generals are unparalleled in wisdom and bravery. Within a few days, they captured the Tao brothers. This is really a blessing for our Song Dynasty. It can be seen from this that I didn't watch it either.
Wrong person."
You didn't misjudge the person. If Bu Shuai hadn't been there, would you have let us come? Niu Gao's boss muttered dissatisfiedly, but he still said in unison with Yue Fei: "The Xuanfu envoy has over-rewarded me. This is my share."
Things are not enough for Dao."
Cai You waved his hand and said: "You can't say that. Although this is your job, if it is done well, it is also a great achievement. If you have merit, you should be rewarded. Someone, bring the things up.
Bar."
"yes."
I saw a few soldiers carrying several large boxes and walking up. In addition, four young girls followed behind.
Cai You waved his hand boldly and said: "Open."
When the box was opened, it was full of copper coins and grosgrain. It was initially estimated that there were at least a thousand coins and a hundred coins. To Li Qi and the others, this was simply an insult, but to the little general, it was really a blessing.
A huge sum of money.
Cai You laughed and said: "I prepared these silver rewards for you before I came here. The two generals must not be too little. In addition, after returning to the capital, I will give each of you a house, and wait for the military camp."
You must not be used to living in a simple place. As for these maids, they will be yours from now on. They can be your concubines and maids. You can do whatever you want."
This Cai You is actually not a generous person. Far from being generous, he is actually very stingy and very small-minded. Today is probably the most generous time in his life. This must be attributed to Tong Guan.
Tong Guan is famous for his generosity in the army. Of course, this is limited to those generals who are useful to him. Ordinary people do not get this honor. In all armies of the Song Dynasty, everyone knows that as long as
The generals of the victorious army are all very rich. Where did the money come from? Not all of them were rewarded by Tong Guan. Generally, when Tong Guan returns from victory, he will hardly keep any rewards given by the court and reward them all.
Subordinates, because he has many ways to make money, he doesn't care about this, and he can be said to be extraordinary. Therefore, everyone in the Shengjie Army supports Tong Guan very much.
The last time Cai You and Tong Guan went to Liao, he saw how Tong Guan treated his subordinates. This was his first time as a commander-in-chief and led troops on an expedition. He didn't know how to win over these generals. He thought in his mind that if one day,
If he can reach Tong Guan's status, once there is a war, he can make a lot of money just by paying the army. Now it doesn't matter if he pays so little. As long as Yue Fei and the others can win the battle, so he came up with Tong Guan's trick.
, who doesn’t love money and beautiful women?
As everyone knows, this money was actually paid to him by the prefect of Mizhou. It was a business without capital.
The money and the beauty were all presented to them. Yue Fei and Niu Gao still didn't understand. They couldn't help but look at each other, and they were even more surprised. They both thought, Bu Shuai is really good at predicting things.
They expected that once they won, Cai You would definitely win over them.
To be honest, they didn't want the money, but Li Qi had repeatedly warned him that anything given by Cai You would be accepted without giving it away. But they were hesitant for a while.
Cai You looked at their hesitant faces and looked displeased. With his broad mind and his attitude toward talents, he said, "If they can't be used by me, then I will never help others make wedding dresses. I must suppress them to the end." Like a smile
Fei smiled and said: "What? Are the two generals too young?"
Yue Fei and Niu Gao saw Cai You's expression change, and they remembered what Li Qi once said, if they offended Cai You, then as long as Cai You is still in the Privy Council, they will never be able to get ahead, and this general will have no battle to fight.
It's equivalent to waste.
After weighing the matter again and again, the two of them stood up, clasped their fists, and saluted, and said in unison: "Thank you very much, Mr.
The words were so sour that they themselves felt toothache.
It turned out that they were frightened just now. Cai You laughed and said: "As long as you can win the war for me, the Song Dynasty, this vulgar thing is not worth mentioning."
"The general will obey his orders."
Cai You laughed again. Then he said to Yang Zaixing: "Zaixing, as long as you work hard, I will not treat you badly."
After all, Yang Zaixing was born as a bandit. Like Yue Fei, he did not receive the education idea of serving the country with loyalty since childhood. At this time, he preferred these real things. He became a bandit for this reason, and his eyes shone. He said: "Zai Xing, please remember this, sir."
of earnest instruction.”
"snort!"
At this time, an ironic snort disrupted this harmonious and erotic scene.
Everyone couldn't help looking for fame. This person was none other than Zhao Mingcheng's wife, Li Qingzhao. She had a strong personality and never complained when she encountered injustice. You know, even great scholars and seniors like Su Shi,
If something was done in the government that she couldn't stand, she would do it, but now that she saw Cai You's obvious power and sex dealings, she couldn't stand it anymore.
Cai You narrowed his eyes and said, "Mrs. Zhao seems to have something to say."
Zhao Mingcheng wanted to die. You must know that the Cai family and the Zhao family were sworn enemies. Now the three fathers and sons of the Cai family are powerful in the court, and the Zhao family is no match at all. He quickly stopped Li Qingzhao with his eyes, then stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Clumsy
Jing is not feeling well today. Please forgive me, Ambassador Xuanfu." But he glanced at Yue Fei, feeling terrified in his heart. If Yue Fei told him about his escape at this time, and Cai You didn't punish him to death, then his
I'm afraid his official career may have come to an end here. He even complained about Li Qingzhao.
"Yeah?"
Cai You glanced at Zhao Mingcheng and his wife lightly, but thought in his heart, the relationship between Mrs. Zhao and the cook is not shallow. The cook even came to me to beg for her. There must be an unusual relationship. If I were to give him
My old friend has been punished. If I go back one day to claim my merits, the cook will definitely take revenge on me. He is a lunatic again. God knows what he will do. That's it. That's all. I have the right to give him some face.
.
Thinking of this, his tense face relaxed, and he said with a smile: "Since Mrs. Zhao is not feeling well, there is no need to stay here with her. Let's go back and rest first. Oh, by the way, I almost forgot that I was entrusted with the job of economic envoy."
Say hello to Mrs. Zhao."
There is a hint of provocation in his words.
What a sinister intention!
Li Qingzhao didn't know what Cai You meant, but she felt that she was worthy of heaven and earth and had never been afraid of this. When she saw Zhao Mingcheng's face was sweating profusely and he kept winking at her, he sighed sadly in his heart, stood up and saluted, "Farewell."
After saying that, she walked out alone.
This was just a small episode. Next, there were fine wines and delicious food, singers and dancers adding to the fun. It was so joyful. The banquet did not end until the second watch.
"Brother Yue, I, Lao Niu, really like this money, but with so much money in my hand, I'm afraid I won't even be able to sleep. What do you think we should do with the money?"
On the way back, Niu Gao scratched his head hard, feeling troubled.
Yue Fei sighed: "It's not like me. If Bu Shuai hadn't told me before, I would never have accepted this money."
At this moment, someone from behind suddenly shouted: "Two generals, please stay."
The two of them turned around and saw it was Li Qingzhao. They clasped their fists and said, "Mrs. Zhao."
Li Qingzhao returned the salute and said with a smile: "The two generals have relieved the siege of Laizhou. Qingzhao should say thank you to the two generals."
"Don't dare, don't dare."
Li Qingzhao said again: "Oh, I really thanked the two generals for their mercy."
Niu Gao said blankly: "What does Mrs. Zhao mean by this?"
Yue Fei, however, had a clear mind and thought to himself, could it be that Magistrate Zhao told her? He had no time to think about it and said, "Mrs. Zhao's words are serious. This is a trivial matter and not worth mentioning."
Li Qingzhao saw that Niu Gao didn't seem to know, so he didn't say much and said, "By the way, I just listened and heard that the two generals seemed to be worried about how to deal with those rewards?"
Yue Fei and Niu Gao looked at each other and nodded.
Li Qingzhao smiled and said: "I do have a plan that may be able to help the two generals."
Niu Gao knew that she was the most talented woman in Tokyo and said happily: "Can you please tell Mrs. Zhao?"
Li Qingzhao said: "It's very simple. Although the two generals led the army this time and achieved a complete victory, some of the soldiers in the army must be killed or injured. Why don't the two generals distribute the money to the dead and injured soldiers? I think
Their families need this money very much now, so it is well spent, and it can also enhance the prestige of the two generals in the military, killing two birds with one stone."
Yes, why didn't we think of this?
Yue Fei and Niu Gao couldn't help but be overjoyed. At the same time, they clasped their fists and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Zhao, for telling me. We are grateful."
After all, they have no experience in leading troops. Fighting is a natural talent, but rewarding based on merit or handling relationships between superiors and subordinates requires the accumulation of experience.
Zhao Jingyan smiled and said: "Compared with what the two generals have done, it is nothing important. By the way, how are you, Commander-in-Chief?"
Niu Gao told the truth: "Thanks to Mrs. Zhao for caring about me, everything is fine with Bu Shuai." But he thought to himself, is there anyone else in the world who can mess with Bu Shuai?
Li Qingzhao nodded lightly and said: "That's good. It's getting late now, and the two generals are tired from traveling and traveling. Please go back and rest quickly. I'll take my leave."
"Mrs. Zhao, walk slowly."
"please."
After Yue Fei and Niu Gao left, Li Qingzhao looked up at the bright moon, sighed, and softly chanted: "The moon and the lamp are still the same. I can't see the people from last year, and my spring shirt sleeves are wet with tears." (To be continued. If you like this,
