Lord Lang of the Liao Kingdom ascended to the Golden Palace and gathered his civil and military officials. After attending the meeting, Wu Yanguang, the commander-in-chief of the Liao Kingdom, came out to announce: "I would like to report to Lord Lang, the boy emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji, has no virtue and has caused great harm to the territory.
There is great chaos and bandits are everywhere. Now a group of Shuiwa Cao bandits have captured Xiongzhou, Baozhou and other places. This is a God-given opportunity. I am willing to lead my elite troops southward to open up and expand the territory of the Liao Dynasty."
After hearing this, Master Yeluhui asked, "Oh, is this really true?"
At this time, Chu Jian, the right prime minister and grand master, came out and said: "Master Qi, this is indeed true. That group of strong thieves occupied Shuibo Liangshan, and now they have taken over Shandong and Hebei. This group of thieves is not normal.
He was willing to kill good people, devoted himself to justice, and only killed corrupt officials. He defeated the Song Dynasty army several times. Now even Tong Guan's imperial army is restrained by Liangshan at the foot of Puzhou City, unable to advance or retreat. The humble minister thinks,
This is truly a God-sent opportunity.”
"Oh, so the Grand Master agrees with Du Tongjun's opinion?" Master Yeluhui suddenly narrowed his eyes and asked. As an emperor, he needs to balance the power of the court. In the past, the Right Prime Minister, Taishi Chu Jian and Du Tongjun Wu
Yan Guang was tit for tat, but today they seemed to have reached an agreement. In Ye Luhui's view, this was definitely not a good thing.
When Taishi Chu Jian heard this, his expression remained unchanged and continued: "Wei Chen indeed believes that this is a great opportunity to conquer the Boy Emperor, but he does not agree with General Wuyan's opinion of sending troops to deal with Liangshan. Although these bandits are grass bandits, they are
Being able to defeat the Boy Emperor's army many times, its strength must not be underestimated, and its momentum is at its peak at this time. It is better to take this opportunity to send troops out of Langshan, Damaoshan, and take the Hebei West Road. The army swept through Shanxi and went southward.
Take Bianliang City and the world can be settled."
"Okay." Ye Luhui couldn't help but cheered when he heard this. As for his previous worries, he had already thrown them away. It seems that his civil and military ministers are not colluding with each other, so he can rest assured. However, Grand Master Chu Jian's
These words also deeply touched his heart.
"My dear friends, do you have any other suggestions?" Yeluhui asked.
Before Wu Yanguang could speak, an officer suddenly emerged from the squad. This person was Ouyang Shilang. He held an elephant slip as a chest and said: "Long live Sir Lang! Although I am not talented, I am willing to contribute a small plan. No need."
With the use of swords and soldiers, the land of Song Dynasty thousands of miles away can be obtained at your fingertips."
Yeluhui was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Oh, since you have good insights, you can tell me now."
"Master Qi Lang, as far as I know, the leader of Liangshan is a failed scholar named Chen Kui. This man is quite capable, and there are many talented people under his command. But now the boy emperor of the Song Dynasty,
Being manipulated by thieves such as Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Gao Qiu, Yang Jian, etc., who were jealous of talents, blocked the path of talents, and could not enter without relatives, and could not be used unless they had wealth. Chen Kui had no way to serve the country, so he had to settle down in the Liangshan Mountains and discuss the foolishness of his ministers. Such talented people
, since the boy emperor of the Song Dynasty did not know how to use him seriously, Master Lang can give him a lot of gold and silk, reward him with light furs and fat horses, and give him an official rank. I am willing to serve as an envoy and say that he has come to surrender to the Liao Dynasty. If Master Lang gets it,
This group of troops and horses from Liangshan have come to surrender, and Hebei and Shandong have not yet fallen into the hands of Daliao."
"Sure enough, it's a clever plan. If we can recruit them, there's no need to worry about the uncertainty of the world!"
"Master Lang, as far as I know, there is also a group of strong thieves in Shanxi. The leader is called Tian Hu. They have occupied four or five military prefectures and dozens of counties. They are also quite popular. Why don't you bring them down?"
They have also been recruited together. When the time comes, instead of attacking from both inside and outside, Song Dog will definitely collapse without a fight."
"Haha, very good, very good, so good. The boy emperor of the Song Dynasty has no virtue. This world belongs to me, the Liao Dynasty. Minister Ouyang, I will order you to be an envoy with three thousand good horses. Three thousand
With a good piece of satin, and my order, I made Chen Kui the general of the country, gave him a mention of gold and a scale of silver, and the power as a token, and then taught him to copy the names of all the leaders under his command. As long as
Those who are capable, I will give them all the titles." Master Lang said.
"I obey the decree."
…
Daming Mansion.
"What? Recruitment, to be a general who controls the country? When did this official have such courage?" Wang Jin was stunned when he heard Wu Yong said that the imperial envoys came to recruit people, and asked, he thought it was the recruitment of the Song Dynasty.
.
Wu Yong explained: "It is not the Song Dynasty's call for peace, but the Liao Kingdom's call for peace. The Lord Lang of the Liao Kingdom wants to make the commander the general of the Liao Kingdom."
"Ah?" Many people were stunned when they heard this. They were both surprised that the Liao Congress came to recruit people, and they were also surprised by the bargaining chip offered by Daliao. Although the general of the country did not know the specific rank, he heard that he was not a minor official.
.
"It's really a big deal."
At this time, I only heard Huanzhang sneer and say: "Haha, the Liao Kingdom has a good calculation. If they recruit us, then the Khitan people will be able to march straight in, and the thousands of miles of Han territory will be ravaged by the Liao dogs."
Liu Tang was furious when he heard this, stood up and said: "These Khitan dogs are simply wishful thinking. Needless to say, Commander, let me go and chop up those Liao dogs now."
"Then where are the envoys of Liao State now?" Chen Kui ignored Liu Tang and looked at Wu Yong and asked.
"Already entered Cangzhou." Wu Yong said: "In order to show the sincerity of Daliao, the envoy also brought 3,000 good horses and 3,000 pieces of satin this time."
"Three thousand good horses, Lord Daliao is quite capable of taking action." Chen Kui smiled coldly and said, "But if it's just that, it's not enough."
"Does the commander want to accept Daliao's recruitment?"
Before Chen Kui could speak, Wu Yong explained: "What the commander means is that since the Liao Kingdom has good intentions and has sent us good things, how can we not refuse them? As the saying goes, 'If God does not take what he gives, you will suffer the consequences.'
, What's more, what Daliao sent this time is the most lacking war horse in Liangshanbo. If we just keep it behind closed doors, it would be too unkind, and we really feel sorry for the heart of Master Liao. This is not the case.
In terms of hospitality in Liangshan, Captain Gao Qiuna of the transportation team has been out of service for a long time, so we need to find another one."
"Hahaha..." Wu's dark and strange words made everyone laugh.
Chen Kui nodded and said: "Yes, that's it!"
"Commander Wu, I will give you the full responsibility for negotiating with the Liao envoys this time. You don't need to do anything else, but war horses, good war horses, we Liangshan are not afraid to support them, we can have as many as we have. The war on the front line is tense now, I
Not in Daming Mansion."
"Don't worry, Commander, my subordinates understand." Wu Yong heard this and said with clasped fists, looking quite excited.
Wu Yong has been defecting to Liangshan for some time. Although he usually participates in some important meetings and Chen Kui also values him very much, after all, during the time he went to the mountain, he did not have the opportunity to be alone. Now the opportunity has finally come, although he has never engaged in negotiations.
Things, but looking at people is what he is best at, and he has the confidence to do this well.
"Yes." Chen Kui nodded. He had reason to believe that Wu Yong would do a good job in this matter. It is impossible to recruit people to be safe, and it is impossible to call people to be safe in this life, but it is also impossible to refuse directly. That is not in line with Liangshan's policy.
In order to gain profits, we must squeeze out some good things as much as possible, and it is best to leave this matter to Zhiduoxing Wu.
Chen Kui said that he was not in Daming Mansion, but it was not entirely a matter of coping. This time he planned to lead the army himself, bypassing Tong Guan's 150,000 troops, marching by land and water, and going to Kaifeng Mansion, which was already empty inside.
Wang Jin didn't have the time or effort to see the most prosperous areas of the Song Dynasty. This is a rare opportunity, so he must take a good look and appreciate it!
