Chapter 268 Let him go to hell
After seven days.
The flood control and drainage of the 20th army has achieved great results. At least, no large flood peak has climbed over the river embankment to attack the Central Plains.
The terrain of Tokyo is already high, and the concerted efforts of millions of soldiers and civilians in the city have basically relieved the threat of flooding.
The place with the deepest water under the sycamore plain has become several dim yellow lakes, with the corpses of many horses, flags and ordnances. When the water level goes up and down, there is a road to Tokyo City.
The subordinates of the Rebel Alliance were a little excited and inexplicably wanted to go to Tokyo as soon as possible to receive the reward from the court.
At the same time, they are thinking that Chu Tianya's soldiers defeated the army of 350,000 Jurchin without blood and solved the danger of the capital and continued the Guozuo of Zhao and Song. What kind of awards should they receive for such outstanding achievements? He is already a prince of extreme ministers. If he wants to reward him in terms of meritorious deeds, do he have to pass on the throne to him?
At the same time, Zhao Huan, an official in Tokyo, and Wen Wu of the Manchu Dynasty are also thinking about this issue together.
The real woman was temporarily defeated and captured their coach Wanyan Zongwang, which can be said to be the biggest victory and the most incredible victory of the Song Dynasty in a hundred years. So, what award should the meritorious minister Chu Tianya receive?
At the beginning, the eunuch Tong Guan just spent a huge sum of money on the national treasury and bought back a Yanjing empty city from the hands of the Jurchens and was awarded the prince. Today, Chu Tianya's contribution to defeating 350,000 enemy troops and saving the country is comparable to the founding of a state. What about it?
This is no longer the description of "high shock master". The fear of Zhao Huan, an official, came as quickly and strongly as the surprise. He suddenly felt that Chu Tianya, the meritorious minister outside the city, seemed to be more terrible than Wanyan Zongwang, who led 350,000 troops to besiege Tokyo at the beginning!
In the minds of officials and ministers, there is a deep-rooted idea that no matter how strong the foreign affairs are, they can't destroy the Song Dynasty after all. At most, they can do some benefits through war and looting. They are poor. They are as easy to get by like country bumpers. They are nothing more than asking for money, food and cities.
But the "inner thief" has always been the most fierce, which is to seize the country - just like Zhao Kuangyin, the founding king of the Song Dynasty, Chen Qiao mutiny into a yellow robe!
If Chu Tianya, who has 200,000 soldiers outside Tokyo, is also playing like this, how can Zhao Huan and He De resist? - Well, there are more than 100,000 forbidden troops in Tokyo, but can they compete with Chu Tianya's army?
There are few people who know military affairs between Zhao Huan and the Confucian students of the Man Dynasty, but they know an extremely simple comparison method - the Forbidden Army of the Song Dynasty can't defeat the army of Liao; the army of Liao was killed by the Jurchens, and the Jurchens are less than ten thousand, and the invincible is transmitted by the Liao people; now, 350,000 Jurchen elites are fingered by Chu Tianya. Swing, kill it!
That is to say, the hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops of the Song Dynasty are not enough!
......
Zhao Huan, trembling!
When the maiden besieged the city, he could barely fall asleep under the influence of drugs. In recent days, he has never slept for more than an hour. When he was young, he instantly became more than ten years old, like a middle-aged man. He invited a few confidants - only a few eunuchs who had been following him day and night. He felt that after retreating from the heroine, he came to Chu Tianya, that is, the jackal came to the tiger and leopard.
I'm afraid I can't sit still on this throne!
At the same time, fools can smell and appear in the court of the Song Dynasty, and there will be a wind. Wu has Zongze, Wen has Xu Han, and the two are now working together to unify the court. Previously, Sun Fu's power was at its best, but now he doesn't know where his head has been thrown away. The rest of the party members also lost power or fell one after another in the days after the defeat of the Jurman - it's not that they don't report, the time has not come.
It is impossible not to carry out such a purge. Whether it is Zong Ze or Xu Han, no matter what they look like in people's hearts or in history books, in the final analysis, they are also court politicians. Politics | The struggle is far more dangerous than the war itself. Either you die or I live.
A sworn enemy like Wanyan Zongwang can be a prisoner and enjoy preferential treatment first. If you are lucky, you may return to the Golden Kingdom one day. But political enemies are impossible. In the end, if you are lucky, you will be exiled and go to the Qingshui government in a remote place to eat and wait for death.
So in recent days, the soldiers and civilians in Tokyo have been cleaning the mud left by the flood, while Xu Han and Zong Ze are cleaning the party members left by Sun Fu.
There are cheers, screams, intentional anger, and uneasiness. It's really a few families laughing and a few sad.
......
Everything that happens in Tokyo City will not leave Chu Tianya, the core figure. However, Chu Tianya sat safely in the handsome tent of Wutongyuan and watched the fire across the shore.
He is waiting.
Wait for Zhao Huan, an official, to make a rational decision, wait for the court of the Song Dynasty to invite him to Beijing, wait for Xu Han and Zong Ze to finish some things that are not suitable for Chu Tianya to handle in person, and wait for the millions of soldiers and civilians in Tokyo to fully understand the origin of this battle.
In a word, Chu Tianya is waiting for a wedge machine with static braking, a wedge machine that can step on the court and the prime minister's government!
It's not profitable, it's not early.
From Taiyuan to Tokyo, paying so much effort and sacrifice, and costing such a huge price, is it just for "filial piety to the Song Dynasty and protecting the country and the people"? If you fight back, you should go home for dinner? Learn from Lei Feng?
Chu Tianya admits that he is not as great as this.
In a man's life, how can there be so many amazing opportunities to fly to the sky?
At present, there is no reason for Chu Tianya not to seize this opportunity.
He has decided to be Cao Cao of the Song Dynasty.
"Since those officials, the old master and the generals of Genzheng Miaohong can't drive the ship of the Song Dynasty, then let me come to Chu Tianya!"
......
"Your Majesty, when will we enter Beijing to ask for credit?" Cao Cheng and others were far from the city and patience of Chu Tianya, so they couldn't help asking.
Like many volunteer leaders, although he dominates one side, he is all looking forward to the court giving them a "formal" name, so that they can also bleach and turn red like Chu Tianya, from bandits to officials, and glory ancestors.
"Wait patiently, don't worry." Chu Tianya smiled and persuaded Cao Cheng, "Don't worry, the benefits are indispensable to you. Brothers, it's hard to follow me. Even if the court doesn't give you any benefits, Luoyang will do its best to reward all the good men!"
"The prince is highly righteous, and I admire him very much!" Cao Cheng thanked him with his fists in full bloom, and immediately remembered the other days ago. He also turned against Chu Tianya because of the death of 4,000 brothers. He was immediately a little embarrassed and said, "Your knowledge is shallow. A few days ago, I hit the prince without any way, please..."
"Don't mention the past." Chu Tianya waved his hand and smiled, "Cao Shuai is a person with an affectionate and righteous temperament. It is also human nature to see that his brother have such a reaction."
"The prince is generous, and his subordinates are thrown into the ground!" Cao Changchang breathed a sigh of relief and said goodbye to him again.
Yang Zaixing, the tiger general standing behind him, seemed to have endured for a long time. Finally, he couldn't help humming, shaking his robe, lifting the curtain of the handsome tent and striding away!
Cao Cheng was shocked and quickly apologized, "My subordinates hit the prince rashly, death, death penalty!!"
"It doesn't matter." Chu Tianya smiled carelessly, "Yang Zaixing, the world's tiger general... I like it very much!"
"This..." Cao Cheng was embarrassed.
What Chu Tianya's words mean, fools can hear what they mean - I want Yang Zaixing!
Give or not?
Cao Cheng is so hesitant that he wants to die.
As Chu Tianya said, Yang Zaixing is a rare tiger general in a hundred years. Moreover, he is not only capable but also loyal. Such subordinates can definitely make any boss "100 percent satisfied" - Cao Cheng would rather be dug his ancestral grave than give Yang Zaixing up to others!
If you don't give... you don't have to imagine the consequences. How about his Cao Chengbi's Wanyan Zongwang? Even if Chu Tianya won't turn against him and beat him hard because of this little thing, isn't he still looking forward to going to Tokyo with him to receive a reward? Fools all know that Chu Tianya is about to become the most popular celebrity in the world. He may be more popular than the official family. Cao Cheng is a water thief. How dare he offend him?
......
Cao Cheng's face became extremely ugly.
Chu Tianya glanced at him, and there was a burst of laughter in his heart. He said casually, "Does Cao Shuai think what Chu said is wrong?"
"No, no, no, the prince knows people wisely, and he really knows what to see!" Cao Cheng hurriedly said, "Yang Zaixing is indeed a rare tiger general in a hundred years!"
"Hmm. I will fight against the virtuous truth to protect the country and the people. In the future, I will go north to Youyan to recover the lost land. I am short of such a fierce general as Yang Zaixing!" Chu Tianya sighed. Anyway, I just don't open my mouth to ask you, Cao Cheng - it's up to you!
Cao Cheng complained in his heart. The more Chu Tianya said this, the more he understood. He was so confused that he really couldn't pretend...
There were several other volunteer leaders present. Why didn't you hear the meaning of Chu Tianya's words?
Seeing that Cao Cheng was extremely depressed and hesitating, some of them didn't know whether it was out of a moment's kindness to Chu Tianya or a gap with Cao Cheng. He said coldly, "Since the prince loves General Yang so much, why can Cao Shuai bear to give up his love and offer Yang Zaixing to the prince? He will follow the prince to make contributions, and he will never forget Cao Shuai's introduction!"
It's really a pot that can't be opened.
As soon as he said this, Chu Tianya laughed.
Cao Cheng's face turned green, and he couldn't wait to draw his sword on the spot and fight with that cheap-mouthed guy!
"Well, Chu has never had the habit of robing people's love." Chu Tianya smiled faintly and said, "Cao Shuai, don't worry."
That's all about it. If Cao Cheng still doesn't know what's good or wrong, he really doesn't want to hang out in the Rebel Alliance and go to Tokyo to receive rewards!
Therefore, Cao Cheng gritted his teeth fiercely, "The good minister chooses the master and serves - if the prince does not give up, Cao Cheng is willing to lead Yang Zaixing and Jianghuai 80,000 troops to join the prince's command to fight against the gold and protect the country and make contributions in the Northern Expedition!"
Everyone laughed when they heard it.
Cao Cheng is really a good seller. Not only did he give Yang Zaixing, which Chu Tianya wanted, but also sold more than 100 catties of himself, plus 70,000 to 80,000 yuan!
A good boss is not good, and he is willing to be acquired and become a migrant worker!
In everyone's laughter, there was undisguised contempt and ridicule for Cao Cheng.
Chu Tianya pretended to be shocked, "Why did Cao Shuai say this? Heaven and earth can be seen. Chu has no intention to annex the Jianghuai friendly army!"
Cao Cheng stiffened his scalp and began to show his loyalty and determination, and he was ardent.
......
Outside the military account, Xiao Linglong curled her lips helplessly at Yang Zaixing, as if to say, "I'm right?"
Yang Zaixing, who didn't go far, clenched his eyes like fire. As soon as he turned around, he rushed into the tent and fought with Cao Cheng!
Xiao Linglong, Anu, Liuhe and others hurriedly pulled him and dragged him into Liuhe's tent to prevent him from going out.
"Sixth brother, my little sister will buy you a drink and invite you to calm your anger." Xiao Linglong smiled relaxedly and poured wine to Yang Zaixing with an iron face.
Yang Zaixing stared with round eyes on his face and didn't look at Xiao Linglong. He picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
Xiao Linglong poured it down again, and Yang Zaixing drank it again.
Eighteen cups in a row.
"Six brother is still the same as usual, amazingly massive!!" Xiao Linglong couldn't help marveling.
"Cao Cheng, this is really not a thing!!"
Maybe it was under the drunkenness, and the anger in Yang Zaixing's stomach finally broke out. He slapped the loud roar on the wine case, and the whole strong mahogany wine case suddenly burst into pieces!
Anu, who was shocked, rushed in with Ada, and Xiao Linglong quickly kicked them out again.
"Cao Shuai is the lord of the sixth brother. Why did the sixth brother say this?" Xiao Linglong personally cleaned up gently beside Yang Zaixing and asked tentatively in a low voice.
"The day before yesterday, Yang took 5,000 brothers to the Jinying to rob the camp. He was killed and injured. Yang almost fled back alone." Yang Zaixing said, "At that time, Cao Cheng was still staring at Chu Tianya and was sad and angry about the death of his brother. But today - look at him! When he knew that Chu Tianya was more powerful than Jurchin and was about to fall into the court to be rewarded, he completely changed his face. He was full of A Nian Fengcheng, and he couldn't wait to lie down | Licked Chu Tianya's footboard, where is there any heroism? Yang, I'm so disappointed!!"
"You can't say that." Xiao Linglong said softly, "We are originally a coalition of the Rebels, and we are proud of each loss. Cao Cheng, isn't it too much?
"Isn't it too much?" Yang Zaixing was furious, "Chu Tianya has gained power. He flattered me. I don't mind. But - he actually apologized to Chu Tianya for the recent collision, which is hypocrisy and ruthless! Does Chu Tianya deserve to die if the four thousand brothers succeed? Should he die for his own glory? I am deeply ashamed to wait for the villain who forgets righteousness! - In addition, he actually gave Yang and tens of thousands of Jianghuai brothers who were born and died with him to Chu Tianya in exchange for his glory and wealth! Such a mean and ruthless person, Yang really has no eyes and no eyes to follow him!"
"Hey..." Xiao Linglong sighed, silently poured a glass of wine and sent it to Yang Zaixing.
Yang Zaixing, who was furious, was stunned, "Why did the princess sigh?"
"I sigh. The sixth brother is still the same as before, with affection and righteousness." Xiao Linglong whispered, "The people who came out of Qixing Village are indeed temperamental people. I think that Brother Xue, Brother Bai and Brother Tang Ang, including Brother Jiao and Brother and the late Brother Guan, who have a gap with you, are always looking forward to Brother Six coming home as soon as possible... When did we hurt our feelings because of interests in Qixingzhai in the past?
Yang Zaixing was stunned again. He silently took the wine Xiao Linglong poured for him and took a sip. The eyes are full of nostalgia.
Xiao Linglong continued to whisper, "Sixth brother, even if the second brother had a little quarrel with you at the beginning, it was because both of you were both arrogant and conflicted temperaments. There is no deep feud between you two, is there? After all, the second brother is also an affectionate and righteous man. How can he be tens of millions of times better than Cao Cheng? A few days ago, in order to escort Xu Han to Beijing to achieve great things, the second brother fought fiercely outside the city with the iron horse of Jin, who was several times more than himself, and he was seriously injured and uncertain. Now we are all in order to protect the country, and the second brother has made no less efforts and sacrifices than anyone else. Sixth brother, you are a frank real hero and great man. Do you still have to hate the second brother because of a little personal grudge?
"This..." The words reached Yang Zaixing's heart.
Old brother for many years, why doesn't Yang Zaixing know Jiao Wentong's character in his heart? The reason why he ran away at that time was because of his anger for a moment, and he couldn't get used to the arrogant Jiao Wentong to squeeze Guanshan and occupy the power of the cottage. Now, those things have passed away. Guan Shan passed away, and everyone is working hard for a common goal.
A few days ago, Yang Zaixing was so excited to hear that Jiao Wentong was seriously injured and likely to lose his life against the gold thief, and he was still very uncomfortable. Although he has always regarded Jiao Wentong as an enemy in his heart, if Jiao Wentong really died, he really didn't feel much pleasure.
On the contrary, there is also a little... lost!
"No hatred, no father and son." Xiao Linglong whispered, "It was my second brother who rescued me from the hands of the real actress back to the cottage. Since then, I have regarded him as my father and brother. Sixth brother, you are also comparable to me in terms of age. In the eyes of the second brother, you are the same as me. You are both a brother and a son. The second brother's temperament is a little arrogant and his temper is a little bigger, but he has no bad intentions... He is more than a snobbish villain like Cao Cheng, more than a thousand times stronger!
"Princess, Yang knows what you want to say..." Yang Zai sighed happily, "To be honest, since the first day I left Taihang, I have been missing Qixingzhai, my eldest brother and you all the time, and I also miss the second brother Jiao who made me sulking! In retrospect, I was too impulsive at that time. For a moment, I actually betrayed our life and death and ran away from the cottage. Later, he returned to his hometown and learned that Cao Cheng was gathering and roaring in the Jianghuai area. Originally, Yang didn't want to turn his back on Qixingzhai and choose Cao to become the master. But... Cao Cheng knocked on my mother as bait and secretly threatened her. Yang was forced to follow it!"
"So it is!" Xiao Linglong suddenly realized, "I said, with Brother Yang as a person, how can he choose Xiao Xiao like Cao Cheng as the main one? In this world, except for the deceased Hedong Dahongpao Guanshan, there is only one person who deserves Brother Yang's life!"
Yang Zaixing's eyes narrowed slightly, "Is that him?"
Xiao Linglong nodded seriously, "Brother Yang, please look into my eyes. He said that a person's mouth can lie, but his eyes will never lie - please believe me, Chu Tianya, is definitely worth everything you give for him!"
"Everything?"
"Yes, everything!" Xiao Linglong took a deep breath and smiled, "I not only gave up the man I once loved for him, but also gave up the luxury of returning to the country, and even gave up my dignity as a royal princess, and I almost gave up my life for him!"
Yang Zaixing frowned and his eyes were cold, "Then what did he give you?"
"Ged me everything I wanted." Xiao Linglong said faintly, "It's far more noble than everything, everything!"
Yang Zaixing raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Linglong in surprise.
"Maybe you will say that I am his woman, and I should speak for him." Xiao Linglong smiled slightly, "Do you remember what I said? There is an old man in Luoyang that you should visit. His words are more convincing than mine!"
"Good!" Yang Zaixing suddenly felt like a great enlightenment. He patted his legs and strode, "Yang, I'm going to Luoyang!"
"Wait! Don't you say goodbye to Cao Shuai?"
"Let him go to hell!!"
