Chapter 199 - New Year's Eve
Qin Gui had already been invited to rest, and only Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Loushi were left in the room!
It was snowing heavily outside, but the stove in the room was emitting heat!
Wanyan Zongwang was already in his forties, but he was one of the top ranker in the Nvzhen, his body was unusually robust, and the feeling he gave off was that he was a young man in his twenties! He was sitting by the fire, drinking!
Wanyan Loushi was tall and skinny, he was frowning, and after a long while, he looked at Wanyan Zongwang and said: "Second Crown Prince, are we really going to negotiate with the Han people?"
Wanyan Zongwang laughed, "Of course it's fake! Right now, we are just the Emperor Jianyan used to deceive Jiang Nan! Let's talk after we join forces with them to eliminate the Emperor Xuanwu! In the future, we will naturally head south! "
Wanyan Loushi said: "I knew it would be like this! Second Crown Prince, how much credibility does that Qin Gui have? "
Wanyan Zongwang said: "Don't worry about that, Qin Gui is one of us!"
Wanyan Loushi was startled, and asked: "Our people?"
Wanyan Zongwang laughed and said: "That's right, he's one of us! He was just a mere scholar, without any martial arts skills. We caught him in the north! If he didn't turn to us, how could we have let him go south and let him return back to Jiangnan? "
Wanyan Loushi finally reacted and his heart was at ease!
"Prepare well, on New Year's Eve, we will enter the Guan Shan from the Dragon Gate! I've already had some people inspect it. Although the terrain there is difficult, entering the Guan Shan is not a problem! What Qin Gui said was not wrong. Back then, Li Yuan also entered the Guan Shan from there! We will fight to defeat the Guan Shan in one go! " Wanyan Zongwang said.
"Good!" This time, I want to avenge living daughter and Silver Art! " Wanyan Loushi gritted his teeth.
At this moment, in another room of the magistrate court, the most famous traitor Qin Gui in Chinese history was standing right in front of the window!
He was intelligent from a young age, and had entered the advanced scholar level at an early age. In his twenties, he had become a university student! This school was the highest institution in the ancient era. It was almost equivalent to the future generations of Tsinghua University, Peking University, Renmin University, and D University. It was the same as the principal! For him to be able to become a university student at such a young age, it could be seen that his talent was extraordinary! At the age of 30, he had become the imperial court official of the Northern Song Dynasty. He was the head of the imperial court, and was equivalent to the current president of the Supreme Court, the attorney general of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office! All of these things were enough to show that he was extraordinary!
Historically, he had "escaped" from the Jinguo! However, he was just a scholar and was powerless. How could he have escaped back with a thousand miles between them? Moreover, he had not only taken it back by himself, he had brought his wife with him from the north to take it back! According to him, he was sailing back from the ocean for a thousand miles, which was even better than the Guan Yu who rode one on two thousand miles! However, no one knew what the truth was! When he returned, he would be the Deputy Prime Minister. If history did not change, he would quickly become the Prime Minister!
From then on, his power and influence was monstrous to the extreme, even Zhao Gou of Song Gao had to look into his eyes and act accordingly! In ancient China, there was a dispute over monarchy and persuasion. Song Dynasty's persuasion reached its peak in his era! According to the historical records, the various tributes would first be delivered to his home, and then he would choose to send a portion of it to the Imperial Palace! After Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun's death, all the property in the family was taken by Qin Gui! Qin Gui only used the treacherous little person, the more corrupt and powerful it was, the more he wanted to use it!
Historically, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and the others had defeated the Jin Army many times, but every time they were about to achieve complete victory, Qin Gui would have to "negotiate" with them! On one hand, it was Zhao Gou's wish to negotiate, and on the other hand, it was Qin Gui's wish!
As he stood by the window, he couldn't help but sigh as he thought about the experiences of the past few years.
"What does the Lord Qin sigh about?" Behind Qin Gui, an incomparably crafty middle-aged man stood there with a charming smile. He was a bit older than Qin Gui, but he was actually Qin Gui's subordinate.
His name was Moqi Xie, and he was also a famous adulterer! In the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, he was just an ordinary censor, but now he was a censor! He had followed Qin Gui here to negotiate with the Nvzhen.
"Nothing!" Qin Gui shook his head.
"Lord Qin, do you think we can defeat Emperor Xuanwu this time?" Moqi Xie said.
"He can definitely defeat the Emperor Xuanwu! Emperor Xuanwu only has a mere two hundred thousand soldiers and horses, this time the number of soldiers and horses that we are mobilizing far surpasses them! The Nvzhen mobilizes an army of one hundred thousand, and fifty thousand New Dependencies, but we are mobilizing two hundred thousand elite soldiers! Can't we destroy them? " Qin Gui said.
"Lord Qin, Nvzhen is very ambitious, I'm afraid we might cooperate with them, in the end, they won't let us off!" Moqi Xie said.
"Nvzhen! "Heh!" Qin Gui's face revealed a trace of disdain.
Qin Gui sneered: "Nvzhen is a barbarian, not scary in the slightest! I have stayed in the female capital for two years, and have already seen through the face of Nvzhen! Right now, they hadn't even taken down the world and were already enjoying it! The true female emperor, Wan Yanwuqimai, had not come out from the palace for even a month. It was said that he had been living with a woman every day! Female true marshal Wanyan Zonghan had not gone south for the past two years, and he had always vied with Wan Yanchang for power and profits, and also enjoyed it more than a day! Even those female soldiers were enjoying themselves everyday! In just two years, the Nvzhen had already fallen to such a state! Let's just watch. Nvzhen's power will become smaller and smaller, and their threat to us is limited! "
Qin Gui's insight and talent were not to be underestimated, and what he said was completely true! In just two years, the Nvzhen had already begun to fall! In fact, after Wan Yanaguda died, the Nvzhen began to degenerate! Because of the pleasure, Nvzhen's fighting strength was being affected! Last winter, the Nvzhen went south but did not achieve anything, it was all because of their falling fighting strength! Wanyan Zongwang had felt that the fighting strength of his army had decreased greatly. He was worried that he would lose too much strength when he attacked Guan Shan, hence he wanted to join hands with Zhao Gou and use his troops against Guan Shan. If it was three years ago, when the woman had really headed south, her aura would have been like a rainbow in the sky, and she would definitely not have teamed up with Zhao Gou!
Qin Gui was not afraid of the Nvzhen, but when he had "escaped" from the Huining Mansion, he had left behind a letter of loyalty! If Nvzhen revealed this allegiance, he would immediately lose her reputation, thus Qin Gui chose to work together with the true female, and serve the true female!
"On the other hand, Emperor Xuanwu, he is the real formidable one!" Qin Gui said.
"Emperor Xuanwu is only a mere ten-odd years old, and he's even a youth. What kind of enemy is he?" Moqi Xie said in disdain.
"Although he is young, his skills are superb! How arrogant was Zhe Keqiu, but he was killed by the Emperor Xuanwu without anyone noticing! Li Gang and Curved End were respectively the Prime Minister and the Privy Envoys. Normally, their power should be overflowing, but Emperor Xuanwu had created the Military Security Office and used it to control the political affairs of the country. Now that Li Gang still had power, the Curved End was purely a decoration! Originally, Guan Shan had tens of thousands of Nvzhen, but he seized the opportunity to destroy them in one go! She was already so powerful at such a young age. If he were to grow up a bit older, what would happen to him? Therefore, we must destroy him this time! "There must be no mistake!" Qin Gui said.
"The peace talks were carried out in secret and no one is allowed to know about it! Even if it's Zhang Jun, Liu Guangshi, we can't let them know! I told them to go north and pretend to resist the truth! I'll go see the Second Crown Prince again tonight and have them pretend to head south! This way, he could confuse the Emperor Xuanwu! When we suddenly head west, we will catch them off guard! " Qin Gui said.
"Lord Qin's ingenious plan, I am impressed!" Moqi Xie said.
He truly admired Qin Gui! He felt that not only was Qin Gui's tactics unparalleled, his military tactics were also extremely brilliant.
Qin Gui smiled faintly as he looked out of the window. He felt that he would grasp the situation under the heavens sooner or later, and that he would have the rights that no one else had. Whether it was Zhao Gou, Zhao Chen or the Nvzhen, they would all be played by him!
"In the future, I, Qin Gui, will pass through countless lifetimes, I am worthy of respect!" Qin Gui stood there, with his incomparably "upright" look!
There were 100,000 new recruits in the Imperial Guard, and these new recruits had only trained for three months. Thus, the Imperial Guard didn't have the intention to take the initiative and attack Hedong; they were only on guard right now!
At the beginning, Yue Fei was extremely cautious, afraid that the female army from He Dong would advance westward! But very quickly, he received a report saying that the Nvzhen was gathered on the north bank of the Yellow River. Also, Zhao Gou's subordinates, Zhang Jun, Zong Ze and the others, led hundreds of thousands of men to Kai Feng to prevent the woman from going south!
Yue Fei heaved a sigh of relief in his heart!
He was loyal, and would never have thought that Zhao Gou, Qin Gui and the others would sell out their own countries, sell out their own people, publicly negotiate with the Nvzhen, and work together to deal with their own clansmen! In his heart, these things were absolutely impossible to happen, but now, these things happened!
Until now, he had never been on guard against this problem!
As the New Year's Eve approached, the atmosphere in the army turned festive!
At that moment, the true female army started to move eastward!
On December 29th, Zhao Chen, Wang Shu and the rest came to the Tongguan, where they were visiting the new recruits!
When Zhao Chen saw Wang Ying again, he was very happy in his heart! It's been almost a year since we last met, Wang Ying seems to have grown much stronger! Furthermore, the military aura around Wang Ying was much purer than before. In the past, Wang Ying had just turned from a Home Breaker Soldiers into a Expeditionary soldiers.
"Your Majesty!" Wang Ying came over to Zhao Chen's side and said excitedly.
"Sit down!" I heard that you are now the commander of the first recruits. Congratulations, you have been promoted! " Zhao Chen laughed.
"Your Majesty, I would rather not have been promoted! I'm bringing all new recruits, and these recruits are much worse than the old veterans! They had never seen blood before, and many of them were once pampered princes! Bringing them is really hard, but it's not as good as being together with my brothers in the past! " Wang Ying said.
Zhao Chen laughed out loud, and said: "After a few battles, these recruits can also become veterans!"
Wang Ying nodded, and said: "That's right! Initially, I was hoping for a big battle this year, but it seems that Nvzhen is heading south again! This is truly disappointing! "
Zhao Chen said: "After we finish training the new soldiers, even if they do not come, we will go find them!"
Wang Ying nodded her head, thought for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, we have two elite soldiers, and their training results far exceed others. I want to introduce them to you!"
Zhao Chen said: "Alright, let them do it!"
After a while, Wang Ying brought two people in. It was Yang Zheng and that small soldier! When the two saw Zhao Chen, they were agitated and knelt down!
"What's your name?" Zhao Chen said.
He noticed Yang Zheng's extraordinary talent at first glance and felt that Yang Zheng was a genius general! Because as a high-ranking officer, the most important thing is to be calm, to be within the rough, and to have such a feeling from Yang Zheng! As for the other little soldier, he was no different from those pious youths he had seen before. The light in his eyes flickered, and when he saw Zhao Chen, he was so excited that he couldn't speak!
"Little, this is my brother Liang Hao!" Yang Zheng said.
Zhao Chen and the two began to talk about training things! Zhao Chen had trained in the army before, and this infantry exercise code was personally written by him, so he was naturally very familiar with training in the army!
The next day, Zhao Chen walked around the different parts of the Imperial Guards to investigate the situation of the warriors' training.
On New Year's Eve, he spent the night with the soldiers!
It was late in the night of the same day that the army of 100,000 women gathered in Longmen County. The war horses were in an uproar, and their morale was as high as a rainbow! Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Loushi is at the very front of the line! There was also a middle-aged Daoist by their side. This Daoist was graceful and elegant; he was actually that carefree youth from back then!
