Shao Song

Chapter 39: Sale (Part 1)

The envoy of the Jin Army is Zhang Jun’s fellow, Fengxiang Mansion, and the former Western Army robe. He surrendered in the poor Taiyuan battle and called Zhao Qiu. Now he is leading hundreds of people in the Jin Army to do a certain Meng An. (Thousand Commander)'s deputy was actually added by the servant army of Meng'an.

But no matter what, when a fellow and old friend met in a different place, Zhang Jun naturally gave a lot of face. He personally entertained him in his own residence. The rest of the people didn't know what he said, but in the afternoon he went out of the city contentedly but it was all of them. It is obvious to all, therefore, the military will inevitably fluctuate; and the newly appointed Shouzhou Zhizhou Zhao Ding went to Zhang Taiwei’s residence to inquire, but couldn't get in, so the military became more and more floating!

   "That's what he said?"

   Next to Cai Chengdong, Jinjun Dazhai is close to the side of the river embankment. In a newly-built open camp, Jin Wushu who is patrolling on horseback hears the report, which is overjoyed.

   Of course I must be overjoyed!

Moreover, last night, the fourth prince of the Golden Kingdom, on the floating boat river, saw with his own eyes the dangerous mountains, the turbulent river, the strong city, and the Song army arranged it well in advance. Although the Golden Army was invincible in the field, he could not help but secretly feel embarrassed... To be honest, with such a terrain and preparations, if it weren't for Liu Guangshi to run so embarrassed, Jin Wushu almost thought that he was the emperor of Song's strategy to lure the enemy, deliberately led him to this place, and then returned without success. To boost morale.

But on the other hand, Liu Guangshi fled so embarrassed, it is impossible to pretend; the very important part of the Huai River defense system in front of him, that is, the large-scale interactive channel between Xia Caicheng and Huainan camp has been cut off again. ; The strategic goal of going south this time is still on the other side of the river... If he doesn't engage in Jin Wushu, it would be a missed fighter!

   And coming back to the front, Zhang Jun’s reply was so direct and straightforward, it naturally made Jin Wushu feel that the clouds and mists broke out--this group of Song people still looked like most of the time, such as Taiyuan and Shanzhou are rare.

   "Return to the fourth prince, he said to the minister himself, he wants gold twelve thousand and thirty thousand silver, and the other treasures, the fourth prince, looked at the reward!" Zhao Qiu knelt and said. "He said that the silver was used to buy the soldiers and civilians in the city, and the gold was used to buy the military officers. Later, the treasures were rewarded by the four princes... He also wanted the four princes to set up a note, so as not to regret it later! "

   "I regret it!" Jin Wushu laughed more and more, causing the surrounding Jurchen to laugh together. "But this lieutenant is too greedy... I believe in bribing the officers, how can I bribe the soldiers and civilians? Isn't he trying to fatten himself? You go again and tell him that there are indeed some treasures in my account. It’s okay to divide his wealth in half, but where do you tell me to find him in a haste with so many gold and silver items?"

   Zhao Qiu wanted to say something and stopped, but didn't dare to refute it at all, just took the order and left.

And as soon as Zhao Qiu left, Ali, who was short next to him, frowned: "Since the fourth prince, since the city of Xia Cai is shaken, after the langmen drove the surrounding Han people to log here, should they start with the siege equipment or start first? Floating bridge to lead the boat?"

   "Regardless of whether Caicheng is moving or not, the pontoon must be raised first to lead the boat." Jin Wushu replied swiftly. "How many times have I said, this battle is mainly the man on the Huainan Beiluan! What is the use of other state and city military horses? I really want to take the military state, the seven or eight military states in the south of Mount Tai are now not allowed to be taken by us. And why did General Ali pretend to be like this? If I wanted to attack the city first, why didn’t I put this timber yard on the north side of the camp to cover it? Put it here, I wanted to cross the river first! Of course, if I could not fight And if Cai Cheng is taken down, it is naturally excellent!"

   Ali frowned: "I heard people say that there is only a flag on the opposite side, and the Song Dynasty emperor ran away early..."

   "No!" Wu Shu replied boldly. "I saw it in the river last night with my own eyes. The barracks on the opposite side are very neat. If there were no Emperor Song, how could Liu Guangshi's defeated soldiers be so obedient? Wang Yacha couldn't help it! In short, if General Ali woke up from alcohol, he wouldn't want it. To say it more, although I led a large army for the first time, I also grew up in the army. There was no error in the two wars on Jingdong East Road. How should I give me some pointers?"

   Ali was helpless, and he frowned immediately. It was because the other ten thousand chief was going to speak, but Lubu didn't mean to speak anymore.

  , it was another Chinese descendant who was originally a magistrate on Beijing's Dongxi Road. At this time, he saw the opportunity and couldn't help but speak carefully: "Four Princes?"

   "Say if you have anything!" Wu Shu rode on the horse without looking back. "I'm afraid that you won't be able to eat it?"

"Yes... Although the official... Although the Zhao Song official house may indeed be in the Bagong Mountain to the south, the lower Caicheng Neidu to the north was burned. The two parties can only rely on messengers to communicate simply. Therefore, the ordinary Caicheng soldiers may not be convinced that the Zhao Song official house is still there. Here, why not take advantage of the fact that the people in the city are floating and fake letters and announcements, saying that the Zhao Song official family has indeed run away, and only one side of the dragon is acting here to coax them, and then let the Zhao Qiu Zhao... Zhao Taiwei brought into the city. To shake Zhang Jun's determination?"

   "Never mind Zhao Qiu." Jin Wushu thoughtfully. "Because Zhang Jun is a general who leads ten thousand people. It is up to him to believe or not to believe in this kind of thing, but the city sergeant can give it a try... This is a good idea. Promote you to join the army and do it!"

   "Thank you for the grace of the Four Princes!" This person was excited for a moment, quickly got off his horse and bowed his head to salute, and then hurriedly got on his horse and left.

This person left again, and Wu Shufu made another round of inspections. In addition to continuing to urge people to drive away the surrounding Han people to come and cut wood and work, Fu also ordered the separation of three elite men (Qianfu team, Qianfu commander)... one went north. The raid is to get in touch with the soldier and horse in the direction of Jeju before, and to open up the back road; the other two are one along the Huai River to the east, and the other bypassing Xia Caicheng and crossing the Feishui River, but along the way. Collect ships, find suitable ferry ports, and explore the meaning of military affairs.

   These are the duties of a military commander, of course there is no doubt.

   After giving these orders, Jin Wushu was full of ambition, but there was nothing to do, so he went back to camp with the two ten thousand chiefs. But before he returned to Junzhai, Zhao Qiu, who entered the city for the second time, returned again.

   "Zhang Jun's conditions are not changed, what is his meaning?"

   This time it was Jin Wushu's turn to frown slightly, and the fourth prince looked at Xia Jiancheng, who was not far away, in front of the Zhaimen for a long time, but couldn't help asking about the other side's opinion. "You are Zhang Jun's old acquaintance, are you credible in what he said? Since you are going to drop, why dare you to bargain with me like this?"

   "The final will feel credible." After hesitating, Zhao Qiu gritted his teeth and said. "It's good to teach the four princes to know that this Boying is good for everything else. It's notorious for being greedy for money. His reputation for being greedy for money, from Fengxiang Mansion to Taiyuan Mansion, from Jingdong to this Huai River, I am afraid no one knows. And this This time he also said..."

"Say what?"

"He said that the Zhao Song official family was actually not bad to him. If Liu Guangshi had not burned Neidu and Xia Cai had become an isolated city, he would not have surrendered. But the situation is like this now. If he is forced to be a surrender, he will also He is not ready to lead troops against the officials of Zhao Song... Therefore, there are more than 10,000 people in his headquarters in the city, plus 10,000 local Shouzhou elite civilians, and seven or eight thousand soldiers from Beijing East and West Road who fled with Liu Guangshi, totaling 30,000. People, there are countless foods, 7,000 people in armor, and he can give them all! Just ask a magistrate and judge in his hometown in Kansai, let him be a rich man..."

   "I understand what he means, this money is not just to buy him, but also to buy his soldiers and horses, does that mean?" Jin Wushu was on a whim.

   "That's what it means." Zhao Qiu was sweating profusely, and continued to say hard under his horse. "And he also said..."

   "Can't you say it all at once?" Jin Wushu hadn't spoken yet, and the other ten thousand chief Zun Lubu who came back next to him was already frustrated.

   "Say quickly!" Jin Wushu was also urged under the excitement.

  "Zhang Boying also said that he knew that there must be such a sum of money in the army of the four princes, including gold and silver. The price he offered was not false, and he asked the four princes to show their sincerity..."

   "Nonsense!" Jin Wushu scolded immediately. "I chased Liu Guangshi all the way over, and I didn't have time to search along the way. Where can the so much gold and silver come from the north of Mount Tai? Is there time to send it at this time?"

   Zhao Qiu wanted to say something but stopped.

   "Speak!" He Lubu was completely anxious and drew a whip directly on Zhao Qiu's helmet.

   Zhao Qiu hurriedly bowed his head and gritted his teeth and said: "Zhang Boying said, Liu Guangshi definitely has this money! Liu Guangshi's usual rule is that gold and silver are self-storage, and copper money is rewarded. This money must be won by the fourth prince at this time!"

   Jin Wushu, Yin Lubu, and Ali each looked at each other, but they didn't know what to say... Because the truth of the matter was hit by Zhang Jun!

   And that night, after the three Jurchen noblemen in the army had discussed carefully, they sent Zhao Qiu into the city overnight, which in principle agreed to each other.

  There are many reasons for this:

   First of all, it is absolutely worthwhile for the money to buy the two to three thousand people in the hands of Cai Cheng and Zhang Jun, and it is an excellent value for money. Jin Wushu has not fallen to the point that the army is inferior to gold and silver.

Secondly, after the extermination of the Liao and the Song Dynasty, especially after the Jing Kang shame, the Jin Army obtained a large amount of gold and silver. The savings of the Song Dynasty were all in one city of Tokyo. The result was once obtained by the Jinren. In other words, although the money was a lot , But not in the eyes of the three powerful men of the Golden Army. Their inventory in Yanjing is called real gold and silver!

   Not only that, the leader of this march, the fourth prince Jin Wushu, also promised a temporary loan to the two princes, which is considered to have contracted the debt risk this time.

In the end, they specially recruited a lot of people from the Song Kingdom, and after earnestly inquiring about Zhang Jun, the results were the same... This person is indeed a notorious greedy for money. It is said that the means of doing business are more agile than fighting !

   But these are just public discussions, the three actually have two important reasons for tacit understanding:

First, even though Taiyuan was eventually broken by the Jin Army, they didn’t feel that Wanyan Lou’s room would not end up in Shanzhou, but this kind of siege and attrition was still too scary for the sparsely populated Jurchens, so let them These Jinjun seniors left a deep impression. In fact, the simple military knowledge that the Jurchens acquired from the fishing and hunting life can be avoided if they can avoid attacking the fortified city and not attacking the fortified city. The country’s misunderstanding of the hard work style of the Jinren fighting;

Secondly, the war is still going on. The Jurchens treat the descendants with soldiers and horses as a rough rule. Perhaps Zhang Jun made this condition because of this, and perhaps Jin Wushu would not break his promise... but right. The so-called hunting prey always has to put bait, but the prey starts, but even the fur becomes the hunter's clothing. This time, this boyying brought so much money to Shaanxi. In the future, Jin Wushu will also have 10,000 ways to slowly Let him spit it out!

   In short, these principles are combined with the fact that Xia Caicheng is indeed a solitary city, as well as the prevalence of the descendants of the Song Dynasty. The Jurchen people, or Jin Wushu, still feel that they can do this business!

Of course, I definitely can’t agree in one breath. Zhao Qiu entered the city for the third time in one day. The condition for bringing along was that he could write the documents and the fourth princes could even draw and deposit himself. However, the gold and silver in the camp did escape a lot and it was difficult to collect , So I hope to pay half first, and then wait for Zhang Jun to take over the team after he opens the city. After he takes office in Kansai, he will make up for it!

  What kind of character is Zhang Jun? How could it be possible to deal with this kind of muddle-headed account, not to mention it, and even put on the armor in front of Zhao Qiu that night, and participated in the night watch on the city wall.

   On the second day of the second day of the first lunar month, Zhao Qiu entered the city for the fourth time. He changed to pay 70% of the gold and silver first, and put forward the final condition that Jin Wushu was willing to give Zhang Jun some more treasures!

   This time, Zhang Jun pondered over and over again, and finally reluctantly responded, and agreed to see the gold and silver goods entering the city, and when he finished counting and distributing it in front of the messenger, he would go to the city and come to the city the next day to welcome the King of the Golden Army!
