Chapter 261 The Edict

Jiao Wentong led the army one step ahead. The mobility of the Xiaoqi was extraordinary. He arrived at Wutongyuan early. First, he set up the camp to meet the enemy, stabilized his feet, and then sent a fast horse to return Chu Tianya.

Chu Tianya ordered the army to be stationed in Wutongyuan, which is still 40 miles away from Tokyo. The Yellow River is full of ravines, and the terrain is high in the west and low in the east. It is not conducive to the Jin cavalry to launch a raid from east to west, and there is no way to surround it, and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. And this place is the place agreed in advance, with more than a dozen Rebels such as Cao Cheng.

"Longxiang has been living in sycamore for a few days. This must be the place where the Lord achieves the great cause. Jiao Wentong climbed high and looked at the vast wilderness and the surging Yellow River. He couldn't help sighing in his heart, "Big brother, I'm convinced of you now. Your vision is not wrong. Chu Tianya is indeed a person who can achieve great things... At the beginning, although Qixingzhai was strong, it could only be a mountain thief. Chu Tianya has been in charge for only two years. We have pointed to Tokyo and set foot in the Central Plains... The future is terrible, and the future is boundless!"

That night, Chu Tianya led the rest of the rear and arrived at Wutongyuan. Jiao Wentong did a good job. He had already set up a camp and everything was ready. Cao Cheng and other leaders also sent sent sent sentry horses to return first, saying that people from all walks of life had gathered to Wutongyuan one after another, and it was believed that they could all arrive within two days.

"Did the court send someone?" Chu Tianya just sat down and asked.

"Not yet." Jiao Wentong replied, "Master, I feel that we don't need the court's instructions at present, but it's more convenient for us to act."

"The second brother's high opinion. The group of military-indefinent guys in the court prefer to point fingers. Chu Tianya smiled and said, "But since we have arrived in Tokyo, we should work together inside and outside to fight off the money thief. In fact, from a military point of view, although Wanyan Zongwang has 300,000 troops and fights several extraordinary battles, they are exhausted alone, and it is not easy to eat the whole Tokyo abruptly. I'm afraid that our fortress will be broken from the inside.

Jiao Wentong suddenly realized and said, "The lord is worried that the officials or ministers of the surrender faction will make concessions because of timidity and corruption at the critical moment, which will lead to the defeat of the whole battle?"

"That's right." Chu Tianya said, "In fact, the Song Dynasty is rich and powerful, and its military strength is good. Jurchin dares not underestimate it. But our court is too cowardly and corrupt, and has repeatedly destroyed the Great Wall and is willing to admit defeat. Now hundreds of thousands of troops are gathered in Tokyo, which can be called a 'national war'. Although Chu can make some opinions, his main position is to execute on the court. The victory or defeat of this battle is not all in the battlefield, but more executed by the decision of the court. Therefore, we should not only try our best to fight a good war, but also can't ignore the reaction and movement of the court.

"The lord's opinion, my subordinates worship..." Jiao Wenhong bowed with his fist willingly, and sighed again in his heart: Compared with each other, the difference between clouds and mud - a martial artist of Jiao, at best, can only be a general, and it is not a matter of charge into the battle to destroy the city and pull out the fortress; Chu Tianya is the real handsome talent!

"Liu-in-one." Chu Tianya called for the way.

"There it is."

Chu Tianya gave him a letter he had just written, "Send someone to go and find a way to sneak into the city of Tokyo and send this letter to the official - remember, be sure to hand it to the official, not a minister or eunuch."

"Yes."

Liuhe took the letter and went out.

Jiao Wentong stroked his head and said, "Lord, the twelve-way rebels on Cao Cheng's side, with a total of 130,000 to 40,000 horses, much more than the 80,000 soldiers and horses we brought. At that time, I pretended to be 200,000 yuan. If Cao Cheng and others knew the truth, would they..."

"Are you afraid that they won't accept me?" Chu Tianya laughed and said, "There are not many soldiers, but the use of the method. At the beginning, I was alone and still dared to compete with Yelu Yu to see Tong Guan and other generations. Now there are soldiers and generals. Are you afraid of those mountain thieves? - Don't worry, I have my own way to control these groups of people. It's just another small thing. I want to ask my second brother for help.

Jiao Wentong was in high spirits, "Lord, please show me!"

"It's about...Yang Zaixing!"

In the early morning of the next day, in the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, there was a loud scream from a woman in the official's bedroom.

"Come on, come on, come on - there are assassins!!!"

The eunuchs and the commander of the praetorian guard outside the bedroom were shocked and led the soldiers to rush in, but they did not see any abnormality in the bedroom. Only the officials and the imperial concubines were untidy and hugged on the dragon couch, which was hard to determine.

"The official... the official..." The eunuch came forward carefully and shouted.

"Ah-ah!!"

Zhao Huan, a young official, has not relaxed for a day since the first day of his position. At this time, he was so scared that his face was pale. He danced and drilled into the arms of his favorite concubine.

The imperial concubine was also scared, crying loudly, and her temples were messy.

"The officials, there are no assassins..." The eunuchs and generals and soldiers bombarded out and said carefully.

Zhao Huan finally regained his composure and looked sideways at the head of the bed with a trembling face, where there was a letter.

There is a book on the cover, and the four words "official family enlightenment".

Only then did the eunuch find out that he couldn't help but be shocked!!!

But he personally handed over everything that the official wanted to see - when did this letter appear on the official's couch?!

No wonder the officials and imperial concubines will shout, there are assassins!

"Pine, pick up the letter!" Zhao Huan's lips were purple, and he pointed to the letter tremblingly. He forgot to ask the imperial army who was guilty of the servant and the guard outside the bedroom - some people sent the letter directly to the head of the official's bed, but these people didn't realize it!

The close waiter also trembled, feeling that the head of the item was about to move at any time. He picked up the letter, ploped and knelt on the ground, "The officials forgive me, and the villain deserves to die!!"

"Nian...Nian!"

Zhao Huan is still trembling.

The nearest servant opened the letter tremblingly. He just took a look and his eyes widened. "The official is a letter from Chu Tianya, the king of Luoyang. He has led his army to Wutongyuan, 40 miles west of Tokyo, and gathered all the righteous soldiers to swear to the king of Qin. In the future, he will fight to the death with the golden thief!!"

Zhao Huan jumped up from the dragon couch and fell to the ground. He grabbed the letter from the hand of the servant and looked at it word by word. Suddenly, he laughed like crazy, "God help me too!" God helps me too! - The Song Dynasty has been saved, and the Song Dynasty has been saved!!"

The close servant and the imperial concubine are stunned!

Zhao Huan held up the letter and shouted while running out.

"official, official... please change your clothes!" The servant hugged Zhao Huan desperately and didn't let him rush out.

"Quick, quickly change clothes - beat the drum and rise!!"

In the Wutongyuan, soldiers and horses are constantly gathering in all directions.

People and horses are like ants, and grain and grass become mountains.

A temporary general platform was set up. Chu Tianya, Jiao Wentong and other Jin army generals arrived together. Cao Cheng and the leaders of all walks of life arrived one after another, opening the flowing water banquet water, the golden drums were endlessly fighting horses, and all the soldiers and horses had customized flags, rolling like waves.

It is a grand scene of strong soldiers and horses swallowing thousands of miles.

"Your Majesty, I'm late, please forgive me!!" Cao Cheng and the leaders from all walks of life came to visit in turn with the fierce generals and advisers under his command.

"Cao Shuai is very polite - heroes, please drink!" Under the stage, he placed a seat, and the leaders from all walks of life sat down in turn. Chu Tianya raised his glass to celebrate.

Liuhe counted the soldiers, horses, food, grass and other things on the side, and was secretly surprised: in just one day, the seven-way Rebels gathered. Now there are 170,000 soldiers and horses here in Wutongyuan, which is more than double when the division came out of Luoyang. I don't know how many soldiers and horses are coming one after another!

Cao Cheng raised his glass and said, "The prince raised the banner of righteousness to fight against gold and save the country, and we should respond. With the prince's opinion, I believe that more righteous and brave people will come to gather justice! In the Wutongyuan, let the golden thief also take a look at the surging momentum of my Song Dynasty!"

Although Cao Cheng's words are flattering, the meaning of his words is not too much - Chu Tianya has become a banner of Tokyo. I'm afraid that there is no leader in everything. Now that there is such a big flag in Tokyo, it's hard to say how many Song people will respond and fight against gold to save the country!

"Chu, you all rely on the help of all the heroes!" Chu Tianya toasted again.

"Your Highness, please!!"

Before everyone put down their wine glasses, they rode a fast horse through the gate--

"Report - There are imperial envoys arriving!"

Everyone is in high spirits!

"Please!" Chu Tianya put down his glass heavily.

After all, Cao Cheng and others are different from Chu Tianya. Hearing the arrival of a court messenger, his heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate.

In the past, when he was in Taiyuan, Chu Tianya dealt with the court a lot, bargaining, cheating, and even meeting each other. He used all kinds of moves. He didn't take the official court seriously in his heart. Whether Cao Cheng is powerful or strong, they have not been able to get rid of the nature of thieves and bandits. They are naturally afraid of officials.

The golden soldiers besieged the city, and it was impossible for the court to send such a decent honor guard. Only a group of cavalry came, about sixty or seventy, and the journey seemed to have just experienced a battle and broke out.

An official in red robe guarding in the middle, Chu Tianya recognized it from afar - Taiyuan's old opponent, Xu Han!

Since he is a messenger of the imperial court, he still needs to give some face. Chu Tianya took Cao Cheng and others to meet the gate.

Xu Han got off the horse with a tired expression and blood stains on his body.

"Fortunately, I can still see the general." Xu Han looked at Chu Tianya in the first few steps, with a playful and bitter expression. He laughed at himself and arched his hand again, "Oh, the official is sentenced to death... It's time to call it, prince!"

"Why are you so polite? You and I should be friends. Chu Tianya replied with a smile and waved his hand in his robe, "Please sit up!"

Cao Cheng and others have been tight all over their bodies for a long time, and their nerves are in a state of tension. Listening to the roar of Chu Tianya, they all roared loudly like chicken blood - "Please take a seat!"

There is a little bit of a rural child who entered the big city.

Xu Han smiled bitterly, "Your Highness, please, heroes, please!"

The banquet was lined up, and Xu Han announced the decree.

In fact, the imperial edict is all nonsense. It is nothing more than awarding Chu Tianya and others for "loyalty and protecting the country and the people", and promise that there will be a reward on the day of triumph.

These nonsense sounds meaningless in Chu Tianya. When Cao Cheng and others heard it, it was a thrilling secret joy - look, look, this is much better than Zhao'an!

Jiao Wentong and others saw it and realized in their hearts: the master's hand was really beautiful, and the official's waste article bought Cao Cheng and others firmly. There must be a brave man under the heavy reward. In the future, they will definitely follow our princess and play with the real women... Is this the purpose of the Lord sent Qingwei to sneak into the palace yesterday and borrow the hands of officials to buy the hearts of the Rebel allies?

It's really profound and profound and far-sighted!
