The soldier pushed the tied Hu Shahu in front of Wan Yan Changzhi, and Wan Yan Changzhi smiled: "What are you doing with him?" Don't hurry up and loosen the ties of General Sushilie. ”

The soldiers untied Hu Shahu's rope, Hu Shahu "cooed", knelt down in front of Wanyan Changzhi, kowtowed, and said, "Lord Wanyan...... No, King Pu is a thousand years old, the villain is willing to go to the front of the king, as long as the king ignores the past suspicions, the villain is willing to help the king......"

Wanyan Changzhi smiled and said, "General Su Shilie, don't be polite, get up and speak first." ”

Hu Shahu stood up at this time, still keeping his head down, not daring to look at Wan Yan Changzhi, but his heart was up and down, and he didn't know what Wan Yan Changzhi wanted to do with himself.

"Hu Shahu, are you really obedient to me?" ”

Hu Shahu's heart jumped, and he almost knelt down for Yan Changzhi again, and said busily in his mouth: "King Mingjian, the villain is definitely sincere to the king, if the king doesn't believe it, the villain can send a message to the sky, if he doesn't care, he will be punished on ......the same day."

Wanyan Changzhi interrupted him again, and said: "Hu Shahu, don't swear it, if you are truly obedient to me, then do something for me, if you agree, this time I will not only spare you, but also release you immediately, if you get things done, after I succeed, I will never treat you wrong, you see how it is." ”

Hu Shahu hurriedly said: "I don't know what the king has to order, the young general will definitely do his best to do a good job for the king." ”

Wan Yan Changzhi nodded, and then sent everyone left and right down, and then explained to Hu Shahu. When Hu Shahu heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, and even his body trembled, and he couldn't say a word.

"Hu Shahu, don't you agree to do it?" ”

Hu Shahu couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, but after thinking about it, now that his net worth and life were in the hands of Wan Yan Chang, where was there room for bargaining, so it was better to agree first, and then make plans after letting himself leave Nanjing. At that time, Wanyan Changzhi will not be able to restrain himself, and it will be up to him whether to do it or not. So he said: "The king can rest assured, the last general will definitely do his best to do this for the king." ”

Wanyan Changzhi smiled slightly and said, "Very good." He immediately called the servants and returned all Hu Shahu's helmets and horses to him, and also released more than 100 of Hu Shahu's relatives. Then he ordered him to be sent out of the city.

Hu Shahu went out of Nanjing, and he didn't dare to stay, and he didn't want to go to Zhongdu at this time, but immediately beat his horse and whipped up, and went in the direction of Jingzhao Mansion to find Yan Yungong.

After dealing with Hu Shahu, Wan Yan Changzhi ordered someone to bring Yang Woyan up. After a while, the soldiers escorted Yang Woyan to Wan Yan Changzhi, but Yang Woyan held his head high and stood in front of Wan Yan Changzhi, standing without kneeling.

Whether it is in the southern expedition or guarding Nanjing, Yang Woyan has always been Wanyan Changzhi's subordinate. Although he does not belong to Wanyan Changzhi's lineage, Wanyan Changzhi knows that he is loyal and proficient in the art of war, and is a rare general, so he has the intention to subdue him for his own use, so he let Yang Woyan loosen the tie, and then retreated from the left and right servants, and then said: "Yang Woyan, you used to be used by my subordinates, and I never treated you poorly, but now that it is like this, are you still unwilling to surrender to me?" ”

Yang Woyan said proudly: "In the past, I listened to orders under you, but it was still because I was ordered by the imperial court, but now that you are a rebel of the imperial court, how can I, Yang Woyan, be in the same stream with you and betray Dajin." If you want to kill, you will kill, and if you want me to surrender to you, it will never be possible. ”

Wan Yan Changzhi laughed loudly and said, "Yang Woyan, you said that I betrayed Dajin, this is not right. Those in the world live in those who have virtue, and those who do not lose it. Wanyan Yungong is just a mediocre person, how can he be in charge of Dajin's world, now the Song Dynasty is eyeing the tiger in the south, and Mongolia is looking at the wolf Gu in the north, if Dajin is handed over to him to manage, sooner or later he will lose the country. What's more, I am the grandson of Emperor Taizu, and I am qualified to sit on the throne of Dajin. ”

Yang Woyan protested: "Although you are the grandson of Emperor Taizu, but now you are also a minister of Dajin. ”

Wan Yan Changzhi sneered: "If Wan Yan Yungong can really assist him, why should I do this." Although he was not at fault, he was still because his succession was too short, not to mention that he succeeded to the throne for less than a year, and he used Jian to dismiss the virtuous, indulge in wine, and do not accept advice. Just look at his insistence on going his own way this time and blindly leading the army to aid Xia, which can be seen. ”

In fact, what Yan Changzhi said was a bit of a fact, and Yang Woyan was also quite touched, and he didn't have anything to refute, but said: "These are just excuses for you to seek the dynasty and usurp the throne, the first emperor has the grace of knowing you, and now the first emperor has just died, and the bones are not cold, you actually raised an army to rebel and seek to seize the throne. ”

Wanyan Changzhi shook his head and said: "You are wrong, I have never forgotten the kindness of the first emperor to me, but the first emperor suddenly collapsed, and there are many doubts in it. ”

Hearing this, Yang Woyan couldn't help but be shocked all over, and glared at Wan Yan Changdao: "It's just nonsense." ”

Wanyan Changzhi laughed loudly and said: "Although I am not good, if I want to seize the throne, I will be upright, and I will never fabricate such a lie." Yang Woyan, if what I said is true, will you continue to be loyal to Wanyan Yungong? ”

Yang Woyan snorted and said, "You have what you say, I don't believe a word." But even though he said this, he was not so confident in his heart. Because he had also heard some strange things that happened before Yan Yong's death, and seeing that Yan Changzhi was so sure, he couldn't believe it.

In fact, Yang Woyan doesn't have much affection for Wan Yan Yungong, but he is grateful that Wan Yan Yong was quite kind to him when he was alive and respected his father and son, so he didn't want to betray Wan Yan Yungong. At this time, I couldn't help but think, if it is really as Wanyan Changzhi said, Wanyan Yungong is killing his father and seizing the throne, then should he continue to be loyal to Wanyan Yungong?

At this time, Wanyan Changzhi saw that Yang Woyan was a little moved, and knew that he was a little moved, and said: "Sooner or later, one day, I will let you know the truth, and at that time, it will be up to you to decide if you choose." As he spoke, he recruited servants and asked them to take Yang Woyan down to be taken into custody, but they must be taken care of and not allowed to be slow.

Then Wan Yan Changzhi ordered someone to bring Wan Yan Ting and Wan Yan Chong up, and also persuaded them to surrender. Wan Yan Ting and Wan Yan Chong were also Wan Yan Changzhi's subordinates before, and they admired Wan Yan Changzhi for a long time, and seeing that the general trend was now determined, they couldn't help but choose, so after thinking about it for a while, they both surrendered.

At this time, Wanyan Chen, Guo Shrimp Toad and others also came to Nanjing, and at the same time, Wanyan Ruixian and Wanyan Chenglin also brought to Nanjing. After the family settled down, Wanyan Changzhi immediately gathered his cronies to discuss the next plan.

Now the entire Nanjing Road is basically controlled by Wanyan Changzhi, and it has also suppressed the offensive of the Song army. However, the news of Yan Changzhi's rebellion will definitely spread immediately, so it is necessary to go north as soon as possible to capture the central capital and determine the overall situation as soon as possible. However, although the Song army retreated, it could also make a comeback at any time, and Tangzhou, Shouzhou and other places were only more than 300 miles away from Nanjing, and they could be reached in a few days. There is also the Jin army of Western Xia that will be defeated, so the endgame after defeat must also be thought of to be corrected, and these things must be prepared in advance.

At this time, there were about 70,000 troops in Nanjing. After everyone discussed, it was decided that Wanyan Changzhi would take Shi Dingyue, and Pu Atong and the two would lead 15,000 men and horses to immediately go north to capture the central capital. He also ordered Guo Shrimp Toad to take 5,000 men and horses, immediately sneak into Jingzhaofu Road, lurk on the Jinxia border, and wait for the defeat of the Jin army, so as to clean up the mess and recruit the defeated army, if the Song army does not take advantage of the victory to attack the Jin State, it is naturally good, once the Song army attacks the Jin State, then Guo Shrimp Toad and try to drag along the attack of the Song army, waiting for the army led by Yan Changzhi to come to help.

Zhang Hu was left in Nanjing, and at the same time, he tried his best to recruit and reorganize local people to supplement the needs of future troops. Shi Mo Yanshan defended Ruzhou, and Pu Chading defended Haozhou to resist the attack of the Song army. And the entire defense of Nanjing and Shandong was handed over to the monk Wanyan Chen to command.

After deliberating and deciding, the people dispersed to prepare for themselves. Wanyan Changzhi then talked to Wanyan Chen about the way to deal with Su Shilie, Hu Shahu and Yang Woyan.

Monk Wanyan Chen also thought that Yang Woyan should be surrendered as much as possible, and agreed with Wanyan Changzhi's treatment of Yang Woyan. But for Hu Shahu, he was a little worried, and said: "Changzhi, although Hu Shahu agreed with Yijing, but now that he is out of our control, I think he may not listen to you after he returns to Wanyan Yungong." ”

Wan Yan Changzhi nodded and said, "I have thought about this for a long time. But it doesn't matter, Hu Shahu is originally a mediocre talent, killing him is like killing a dog, and letting him go is like releasing a rat, which has nothing to do with the overall situation. And Wanyan Yungong will inevitably be defeated by the Song army, as long as I can capture Zhongdu as soon as possible, at that time Hu Shahu will understand that the general trend is not on Wanyan Yungong's side, and he will definitely do that thing for me in order to seek wealth and nobility. ”

Monk Wanyan Chen thought for a while and said, "That's right. However, it is not easy for you to travel thousands of miles to capture the central capital, so you have to be careful along the way. ”

Wan Yan Changzhi said with a smile: "Now the defense of Zhongdu is empty, and I have already sent ×× to infiltrate Zhongdu, and my father-in-law is doing internal response in the circle." It is not difficult to capture the capital, but you are in charge of both Nanjing and Shandong, and the troops are insufficient, and Bi Zaiyu and Cao Xun are not idle people, this burden is not light! ”

Wanyan Chen monk also smiled: "Don't worry, I can still withstand it here." ”
