Chapter 240 Both fame and fortune
Heavy snow is rising again, and the north wind is roaring.
A hundred miles south of the southern suburbs of Yanjingfu in the Kingdom of Jin, soldiers and horses flowed grain and grass like mountains, and a majestic expedition.
On the path less than ten miles to the right of the barracks, Wanyan Daike wrapped his whole body in a snow-white cloak and showed only a pair of eyes. He rode a horse and ran into an inconspicuous village.
Turning around a mountain road, a new large felt tent was reflected in front of it. Half of the top of the tent was covered with snow, emitting blue smoke. Wanyan Daike's frozen body felt a trace of warmth, and a smile appeared in his cold eyes.
She seldom laughs. If you laugh, you also laugh with your eyes.
Seeing the blue smoke from the top of the tent, she knew that the nobleman must be in the middle of the tent and safe.
After dropping the saddle, Wanyan Daike walked into the tent. At first glance, I was stunned.
Wanyan Zongbi, the fourth prince of the State of Jin, is lying on the soft couch by the fire reading a book. The nobleman knelt aside and carefully added hot water to him.
Wanyan Daike's heart jumped a few times, and Qian Yan walked over with a smile, "Wu Shu, are you coming?"
"It seems that your trip has been quite successful." Wanyan Zongbi lay down and still fell on the book without moving his eyes. He said faintly, "How's it going? Have you seen him?"
"Who do you see?"
"Is your master Chu Tianya, rosefinch?"
Hearing the word rosefinch, Wanyan Daike knew that she no longer had to hide it.
"That's right, I'm a rosefinch." She went to the fire and sat down, poured a cup of hot tea and drank it herself. "I know I can't hide it from you."
The nobleman looked bitter over there. The rosefinch looked at her and knew that it was her mouth. Zong Bi's scheming and means are indeed not something that nobles can resist, which is well known to the rosefinch.
Wanyan Zongbi put down the book and sat upright, looking at the rosefinch with a smile. The young and handsome face showed a trace of evil that made the rosefinch familiar.
This look is often seen from Chu Tianya's face.
"It's not easy for you to go back and forth hundreds of miles between day and night." Wanyan Zongbi smiled and said, "Are you tired? Take a rest!"
"I'm not tired." The rosefinch said faintly, and he was on guard.
"Are you afraid?" Wanyan Zongbi whispered, "I came here alone today without soldiers. In terms of martial arts, I'm no match for the two of you. What are you afraid of?"
"Wu Shu, what do you want?" The rosefinch simply had a showdown.
"You are the Great Gold Kingdom, and you are the only one who doesn't ask me to call me by identity or title. Always just call me Yu Shu." Wanyan Zongbi still smiled, "Deco, what on earth do you want me to do to you, so that you really give your heart to me?"
"Dike's heart has been dead for a long time, and it can't be handed over." The rosefinch lowered his eyelids and whispered, "Now, I'm the rosefinch."
"Actually, I knew your intention at the first sight of you the other day." Wanyan Zongbi stood up and paced slowly, "Because the most impossible thing in the world is love. If you don't love me, your heart has long belonged to you. You came to me just to spy on the military plane.
"Yes." The rosefinch admitted it.
The nobleman sitting aside, the teacup in his hand accidentally fell to the ground, and a piece of hot steam steamed.
"I know that you don't love me. I'd rather lie to myself and say that you love me." Wanyan Zongbi said faintly, "Am I stupid?"
"I'm sorry, martial arts." The rosefinch whispered, "I didn't want to do this either."
"No need to explain." Wanyan Zongbi smiled slightly, "Your explanation will wake up my dream, which will be very painful."
"Now, you can kill me or treat me as your prisoner or slave." The rosefinch sighed softly and said, "I'm just a small one. You can see through it, and the rest are my fate."
"I don't want to kill people, and I don't need slaves." Wanyan Zongbi stopped and looked sideways at the rosefinch, "I just hope you can love me."
"This, I can't do it."
"Why?"
The rosefinch took a breath and shouted gently, "Because Wanyan Daike is dead; the rosefinch belongs to her master."
Wanyan Zongbi trembled all over as if he had been electrocuted. But his expression did not change at all. He was still indifferent and smiling. He stepped out, "Then you go, hurry up!"
The rosefinch and the nobleman looked at each other in a frenzy.
"If it's too late, my second brother will send a sergeant to catch you." Wanyan Zongbi walked to the tent and stopped. He looked back at the rosefinch.
This eye is extremely deep.
"I hope he can treat you better."
After saying that, Zong Bi's figure disappeared by the tent.
The rosefinch jumped up to rush to the edge of the tent, and the nobleman hugged her.
"What do you want to do?" The nobleman gritted his teeth and shouted, "Go quickly, or you will die!"
The rosefinch stopped and looked at the curtain that was swayed by the north wind.
"In my life, I am destined to owe you forever?"
"If you don't want to owe it, do you just want to owe it to the master?" The nobleman said urgently.
The rosefinch was excited all over, "Let's go!!"
Two horses hurried south with wind and snow.
Wanyan Zongbi led his horse to stand in the wind and snow, looking south and watching the figures of the two riders gradually disappear. A general in military uniform came from not far away and stood beside him.
"The fourth prince, did you really let these two women escape like this?"
"Yes." Wanyan Zongbi said lightly.
"If the marshal is guilty..."
"I'll bear it."
The general sighed softly, "Fourth prince, you know that her heart is not with you, why are you so infatuated with her?"
Wanyan Zongbi smiled slightly, "In every man's heart, there will be a woman she thinks is perfect. That woman must have never been obtained. Of course, I can easily force her to stay and let her be my slave to give birth to children for me. But that's not the perfection I want."
The general was stunned and shook his head confusedly.
Wanyan Zongbi smiled and said, "Chu Tianya is a perfect enemy. Wanyan Daike follows him, which is even more perfect. One day, I will defeat Chu Tianya with my own hands on the battlefield, and then let Wanyan Daike follow me with all his heart. Do you think there is anything more perfect than this in the world?
The general's face cramped, "Fourth prince, have you had this old problem again? This is a war, not a poem!"
"Is there any difference?" Wanyan Zongbi smiled and said, "The perfect life of a man must have a woman he strives for but can't get, and a strong enough opponent to be a foil. There is no one in the southern country who can resist gold, and there is only one Chu Tianya left. Let his rosefinch inform him and let him run for his life quickly. Don't die under my second brother's 300,000 iron hooves. When he is fat and full-fledged, I will fight with him on the battlefield - isn't it the pleasure of life for a man to stand in the world?
"Oh! The last general only knows that if the second prince knows that you have gone, he will definitely scold you!"
"Scold!" Wanyan Zongbi smiled and said, "It is reasonable for the second brother to scold the fourth brother or the marshal to scold his subordinates. However, this can't be an excuse for me to pursue perfection! - Please reply to my second brother, who is a marshal. I won't go on this southern expedition. Because I'm sure I won't meet Chu Tianya. I'm waiting for his good news in Yanjing.
The general smiled bitterly, "Fourth prince, how dare the last general reply to the marshal like this? The marshal will kill me in anger!"
"No." Wanyan Zongbi smiled and said, "The second brother spoils me the most. Just tell him that it's my original words - let's go, just tell the truth!"
"Yes, the fourth prince! - Where is the fourth prince going?"
"Sight back to your hometown and worship the emperor!"
In the real city.
Chu Tianya has been on time, and each casualty has been arranged to take care of him. He is also equipped with many carriages left by the Jin people. The carriage can not only ride the wounded, but also carry countless gold and silver treasures - the trophy of the First World War.
Zhao Gu was poisoned by Chu Tianya. After meeting him that day, he regarded him as a transparent person and ignored him again. However, he sent two thick-skinned grain officials to find Chu Tianya and asked him to leave some food and grass - the money can be taken away, and the food can be left!
As soon as Chu Tianya saw this style, he knew that Zhao Gu was going to stay. Maybe the court had sent reinforcements to him and gave him an order. Chu Tianya didn't want to do anything, so he left most of the food and fodder, and only brought some dry food with the army, which was enough for a ten-day trip.
Originally, Chu Tianya wanted to meet Yue Fei, but he inquired about it. He didn't know where Yue Fei, a small cavalry envoy, had been sent by Zhao Gou. Maybe he was nestled in a barracks outside the city - after all, he is still just a small military envoy.
Chu Tianya wants to dig the foot of the wall, but he can't do it too well. What's more, Zhao Gu hates him now. Sending someone to inquire in private for a while was fruitless, and Chu Tianya had to give up.
Liu Ziyu joined Chu Tianya's team with more than 300 brothers. Chu Tianya believes that this is the biggest harvest of this real trip - thousands of troops are easy to get a general. Liu Ziyu is the kind of general talent that is currently lacking in the Hedong Rebel Army and can be alone. At the beginning, he was under the guard for almost a year, and the golden soldiers were unable to attack. Later, he turned into the guerrilla, and hundreds of people beat the Jin people very annoying. This kind of general who grows up in actual combat and bitter battle is the most talented and practical.
What's more, Liu Ziyu is also the son of the military family, who was born in Genzheng Miao Hongke Class. He is also quite talented, especially in the study of military tactics. In addition, Liu Ziyu's age is also similar to that of Chu Tianya. The two met on the battlefield and suffered together. Therefore, they soon became close friends, not only the chief minister, but also a good teacher and friend.
Chu Tianya asked Liu Ziyu, should our army withdraw back to Hedong now?
Liu Ziyu replied that Wang Shi, the main force of the court, was about to go to Zhending. This will become a battlefield of the decisive battle between Song and Jin. The general's roots are in Hedong, so it is meaningless to stay here. But if you leave in such a desolation, it will inevitably hurt people's hearts, and it will make the people of Hebei treat us as real robbers - it's better for the general to go and recover the two cities of Hejian and Zhongshan together. Anyway, Wanyan Zongwang has withdrawn and retreated, and those two places will be able to win with one blow.
If you recover Hejian and Zhongshan before the king of the imperial court or King Kang comes down, it will be of great benefit to the reputation of the general. Moreover, maybe there is something left in the treasury there.
Chu Tianya laughed as soon as he heard it, "Liu Ziyu, you are really a genius who is a sound horse - well, the whole army will withdraw. His Royal Highness the King of Fukang said goodbye to Chu Tianya. It's time to go back to his hometown Taiyuan!"
Liu Ziyu was stunned, "The general won't fight between the rivers and Zhongshan?"
"Fight! Of course, you have to fight! - Why don't you do the matter of fame and fortune?" Chu Tianya smiled cheaply and said, "But you can't let King Kang know!"
Liu Ziyu also laughed, "The general is wise!"
In fact, there is still another thing in Chu Tianya's heart, which is not known by outsiders - that is, the rosefinch and the nobles have no message until now, and I don't know when they will return. I'm afraid they know that the soldiers and horses in Hedong have made a real determination; but when Chu Tianya left, where should the two women go to find people?
Therefore, following Liu Ziyu's advice, Hejian and Zhongshan must also be cleaned up. It is not only a good thing for both fame and fortune, but also a place for the two women to find someone. In addition, Zhending, Hejian and Zhongshan are originally the Hebei Iron Triangle - good people send Buddha to the west to the end. Since they have given it to King Kang, they should also give him Hejian Zhongshan together!
Chu Tianya's idea has been decided. A day later, thousands of cavalry swaggered away from Zhending with hundreds of carriages full of trophies in the weeping of Zhending people.
Zhao Gu dropped six cups in one day and hired a military doctor three times. The people around him have no doubt at all that if His Royal Highness King Kang is given a chance to send Chu Tianya, he will not hesitate to cut Chu Tianya one by one, and then eat all his meat pieces and drink his blood drops by drop!
