Chapter 168: Recover Hangzhou
…
After receiving the secret letter from Yan Qing, Cai was immediately wiped out because of his promotion and being allowed to recruit 30,000 new recruits!
Zhao Mijin and Zhao Fujin are actually pregnant too!
Plus Zhao Fujin, whom I was pregnant with before.
All three princes are pregnant with their own children!
This made Cai Jian's head buzz!
Why is it so coincidental that it’s a double shot?
After being shocked, Cai still slowly accepted this cruel fact.
In fact, Cai Shen has indeed had a strong fertility recently. Not long ago, news came from home that Su Niang was pregnant again, Zhao Yuannu also became pregnant, and even Jinzhi, whom Cai Shen occasionally came to visit, was pregnant.
In addition, Li Qingzhao, who was pregnant at the same time.
Such fertility is really impossible to cause a double shot in one shot.
After accepting this fact, Cai Shen’s first thought was to try his best to suppress this matter, otherwise it would be a failure, and now is not the time to fail.
but--
Cai is still out of reach now.
There was no choice but to let Yan Qing contact Zhao Mijin, Zhao Fujin, Zhao Fujin through Xiaoju and the others to see what plans they had, and then help them and try to suppress this matter as much as possible.
Of course, if you walk by the river often, there is no one who doesn’t wear your shoes.
Therefore, while trying to find a way to suppress these things, Cai still has to make the worst plans.
The worst plan is undoubtedly to rebel in advance.
Now, it is different from the previous situation.
First of all, Cai Jianren has arrived in the southeast and has begun to expand his team.
In addition, Cai still has the confidence that with his current strength and Fang La's power, he has the ability to rule with Zhao Song.
Therefore, Cai can still fight back now and has a great chance of success.
But then again, the conditions for rebellion are still not mature enough now - mainly because if Cai still rebelled, he would likely fight with Zhao Song snipe and clam, and finally let the Hu man and fisherman benefit.
If this is true, Cai is still likely to be nailed to the pillar of shame in history like Wu Sanjia.
Although Cai is still a pragmatic person, he does not want people from later generations to call him traitors when they mention it.
The key is that Cai still has better opportunities, allowing him to seize the opportunity of justice and making it easier for him to seize the opportunity in the world.
Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, Cai will never rebel now.
But--
I have to say it again.
Although Cai still doesn't want to rebel, Cai still has to do what he should do.
It is precisely because of this that after regaining Xiuzhou and Huzhou, Cai still did not continue to go south to regain Hangzhou, but began to expand his army and train.
During this period, Tong Guan led the Western Army and Tan Zhen led the Central Imperial Army to head south through the Jianghuai Water Transportation Network.
Just three days ago, the 150,000 troops had arrived in Jinling and Zhenjiang one after another, and used the two places as their base camps.
As soon as Tong Guan, Tan Zhen, Liu Yanqing and others arrived in Jinling and Zhenjiang, they found that the situation had completely broken out of their control.
First of all, what they were most worried about before was that the Fang Layi army would go north to occupy Jinling and Zhenjiang, which did not happen at all.
Secondly, Cai was still too capable. He not only occupied Jinling, but also went south to Xiuzhou to wipe out Fang Qifu's troops and captured Fang Qifu alive.
Again, what made Tong Guan and others crazy was that the original plan was to lead the Western Army to the east (i.e., to Dantu, Changzhou, Suzhou, and then to Xiuzhou, and then to Hangzhou), and Liu Zhen led the Central Imperial Army to the west (i.e., to Dantu, Xuanzhou, Huzhou, and then to Hangzhou.), but now, the Jinwu Army, who was supposed to take the Western Road, took the East Road and also crossed Changzhou, Suzhou and other places to directly recover Xiuzhou, and even Huzhou, which should have been recovered by the Western Road, has recovered a part of it.
It can be said that Cai still disrupted all Tong Guan's deployment.
What Tong Guan couldn't tolerate the most was that the court actually issued an imperial edict to let Cai Shen serve as the Jiang, Huai, Jing, Zhejiang and other routes to let Cai Shen act cheaply.
Isn’t this clearly an equal footing with him, Tong Guan!
Therefore, Tong Guan was really angry!
Not only Tong Guan was angry, but Tan Zhen felt uncomfortable in the face of such a result!
It took a lot of effort to get the position of deputy commander of the suppression of Fang Layi Army. He originally thought that he would borrow some Western Army from Tong Guan and walk alone, and then make great contributions. In the future, when Tong Guan gets old and cannot be beaten, he would like to take Tong Guan and replace him.
Who would have thought that Cai would just be a candidate, and he made such a big deal.
Now, although in terms of official positions, the system is slightly higher than the recruitment of the envoy.
But their powers are all to lead the troops to recover lost territory.
The key is that Cai Shen has made contributions and has joined forces with Fang Layi's army, but he has not yet reached the front line.
More importantly, Cai Guan had already recovered Xiuzhou, and there was no need for them to go east. At most, they would send a partial army to reinforce Cai Shen. Tan Zhen could even guess that Tong Guan would definitely let the Western Army go west and send him to lead the Central Imperial Army to support Cai Shen. In this way, he would completely become Cai Shen's green leaf.
really!
Let Tan Zhen guess.
Soon, Tong Guan held a combat meeting.
At the meeting, Tong Guan first criticized Cai Jian for being unorganized and undisciplined, and vowed to participate in Cai Jianyi.
But everyone knows that Tong Guan’s words are just saying.
First of all, Cai still went south under the orders of Tong Guan, and it was Tong Guan who said in public that Cai still could act cheaply.
More importantly, Cai still has an imperial edict in his hands, and the emperor and the court allow Cai to act cheaply.
The most important thing is that Cai still made a real contribution, and this cannot be defeated by political struggle, especially during this deadly period.
Therefore, this matter will be left unsuccessful in the end.
Next, Tong Guan changed his tone and said, "However, the matter is urgent. Since the Central Imperial Army has taken the East Road and has already fought with the rebels, we cannot retreat rashly. Otherwise, we may be attacked by the rebels. Therefore, I decided to change the Western Army and the Central Imperial Army, and the Western Army will take the West Road, and the Central Imperial Army will take the East Road."
Speaking of this, Tong Guan turned his head and asked Tan Zhen: "Tan Zhizhi, do you have no objection?"
Tan Zhen wanted to say: "I have opinions, very opinions."
But Tan Zhen dared not say this.
Tan Zhen was sure that as long as he dared to say he did not agree, Tong Guan would definitely let him lead his more than 30,000 central imperial guards to the west.
Tan Zhen was not Cai Shen, and he could not do anything with more than 30,000 yuan, and he could not eat anything left. He walked alone. He designated meat buns to beat dogs without going back. He took a step back and said that even if he escaped by luck, he would still specify whether the military law would be dealt with.
So, even though there were a thousand unwilling and ten thousand unwilling in my heart, Tan Zhen still smiled and said, "It depends entirely on Xuan Xiang."
In this way, Wang Bing soon led the Shengjie army to the south, walked Dantu, and went to Xuanzhou to seize Dusong Pass, and Tan Zhen quickly sent Liu Zhen to lead the army to Xiuzhou for reinforcements.
At the same time, Tong Guanzhen sent a writing machine named Yi Wang Lin and Jia Ping to Xiuzhou with a large number of followers to hold Cai Shen accountable.
Wang Lin and Jia Ping took Tong Guan's order and took a light boat to Xiuzhou along the water, and then went straight to Cai Shen's central army tent.
As soon as he saw Cai Jian, Wang Lin slapped the table and attacked: "Cai Jian, do you know your guilt!"
Cai Jian, who was already quite enthusiastic, suddenly felt his face sinking when he saw Wang Lin dare to talk to him in this tone!
Seeing that Cai was still unhappy, Wang De immediately stepped forward, grabbed Wang Lin's neck, and gave Wang Lin two big mouths, which immediately fooled Wang Lin!
In addition, Wang De's appearance is scary.
Jia Ping, who was also preparing to attack, suddenly became timid!
Cai Shen scolded Wang De in a hypocritical manner: "Wang De, how dare you beat Shangguan?"
Wang De clasped his fists and said, "General, General, Shumo is awkward. I don't know what kind of class they are. I dare to talk to you like this."
The so-called writing skills are equivalent to the confidential secretary of later generations, with a maximum of nine ranks.
but--
Because it was Tong Guan, the representative of Lilike, let alone Cai Gan, they dared to slap the table and question the commander Liu Yanqing.
Unexpectedly, Cai Shenzhen dared not to buy Tong Guan’s account and dared to let his subordinates beat Wang Lin.
Now, let’s not talk about what Wang Lin and Jia Ping think, at least on the surface they will never dare to be as arrogant as before.
I can talk to Wang Lin and Jia Ping well.
Cai still asked on his own initiative: "I don't know what it's important to find Cai if you two have any questions?"
Wang Lin was really not suitable for talking anymore, so Jia Ping could only say carefully: "That...Xuan Xiang asked me and Wang Lin to ask Cai Zhaodan why he wanted to ruin his old man's deployment and lead the army south from the east road alone?"
Cai Jian said: "After Cai Jian arrived in Jinling and occupied Jinling, through investigation and inquiry, he found that Xiuzhou's water transportation was developed, which facilitated the attacking army to transport food and grass, and it was also conducive to the reinforcements to quickly come and reinforcements. If it was trapped in the hands of rebels, our army would not be able to move south quickly. In addition, the rebels arranged defenses on the Xiuzhou-Huzhou line to effectively prevent our army from moving south, and at the same time sent large troops to seize the southeast territory. In this way, they could gather the power of the southeast to fight us, and the outcome was unpredictable. Our Song Dynasty was in danger. I had the arbitrary power granted by Tong Xuanxiang. Therefore, after comprehensive consideration of the past, I think Xiuzhou must not be lost, so I personally led a large army to reinforce Xiuzhou."
If it were before this, Wang Lin and Jia Ping would have been resolute. Now, Cai has given them a step, so how dare they continue to hold on?
They didn't even dare to eat the food in the Jinwu army, so Wang Lin and Jia Ping left the Jinwu army to find their master Tong Guan to cry out in vain.
When beating a dog, you have to look at the owner!
Although Cai Sun gave a reason, this was not enough to let Tong Guan forgive Cai Sun!
Tong Guan had made up his mind that as long as Cai Shen dared to let him catch the braid, he would definitely kill Cai Shen!
At the same time, Cai still knew that the person who beat Tong Guan was to completely tear her face with Tong Guan, so he had to grow stronger in the process of suppressing Fang La to the point where Tong Guan did not dare to go to war with him easily!
After this thought, Cai still decided to suspend the expansion of his army and go south to seize a crucial achievement in this battle - to regain Hangzhou!
Chapter completed!
