"Taishi. "Tong Guan saw Cai Jing coming, his face suddenly showed shame, and he stepped forward and said: "The lower officials are ashamed, they lost their soldiers and generals, and they also bothered the old lady to come to finish."www.biquge.info ”

"It's not that you're not in a good position, it's just that you're facing too strong an opponent." Cai Jing's old face flashed with a trace of fatigue, and he couldn't hide his disappointment in his eyes, originally he thought that even if he didn't enter Youzhou City, at least he was under Youzhou City, but he didn't expect that he actually saw Tong Guan in Waqiao Pass, and now there are only tens of thousands of troops left in the 300,000 army.

He saw that the morale of the army was low, the soldiers were obviously unmotivated, and the war was already an inevitable defeat. Cai Jing suddenly felt a lot of pressure, and in front of everyone, Cai Jing couldn't say how Tong Guan was, and even excused him.

Tong Guan's face suddenly showed gratitude, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Taishi, hey! Thank you Taishi for your care, it's just that the lower officials are incompetent, and they affect the three armies, which is really a crime that deserves death. ”

"Let's go! Go in and tell me what the battle of Youzhou is all about. Cai Jing's brows furrowed slightly, and he took the lead in entering the big tent of the Chinese army, but Tong Guan's face was cloudy, and he waved his hand, letting everyone retreat, and only he followed.

"Master Tong, you let the old man say what is good about you, 300,000 troops attack Youzhou, and the Khitans only have tens of thousands of troops in their hands, and they have lost three battles and three times, if this is passed to the Beijing Division, I am afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be the first to suggest your head." Seeing that there was no one in the big tent, Cai Jing immediately glared at Tong Guan with some annoyance, and said: "If it's just a loss of soldiers, forget it, the key is that you lost too badly." ”

Tong Guan lowered his head by what he said, he didn't know what to do, even if there were 10,000 reasons, his defeat was always a reason that he couldn't get over, and Tong Guan didn't know how to explain it.

"Whose hands is Youzhou in now? Khitan or Jin, or Li Jing? Cai Jing asked again.

"The whole Liao Kingdom has surrendered to Li Jing, and Li Jing has entered Youzhou City." Tong Guan's face was gloomy, and he snorted coldly: "This damn Li Jing has long been in collusion with the Khitans, he united with the Khitans to defeat the Jin people, and he also cheated our family once." As he spoke, he told the city of Youzhou that he was deceived by Yelu Dashi, such a thing itself could not withstand scrutiny, Tong Guan was already rumored at that time, and he didn't understand the situation at all, so he fled in embarrassment, and finally let Li Jing get a big advantage.

"As long as Li Jing occupies it, there is still a chance." After hearing this, Cai Jing immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, it is Li Jing, if the Jin people occupy Youzhou City, I am afraid it will be difficult to come back." ”

"Taishi, Li Jing's wolf ambition is well known to the world, if Youzhou City falls into his hands, I'm afraid?" Tong Guan changed color and couldn't help but say: "If it falls into the hands of the Jin people, according to the agreement, we can still get the city of Youzhou, and what if the people of Youzhou are handed over to the Jin people?" Li Jing now gets Youzhou City, I'm afraid he won't give up, our family has heard that Li Jing is preparing to be king in Taiyuan. ”

"It's not a king, but a king, Your Majesty is ready to canonize him as Hehuang's envoy, King Wu." Cai Jing touched his beard and said, "No matter what, I believe Li Jing will still accept this prince." Although Youzhou is very good, after all, it is the territory of the imperial court, and Li Jing is about to conquer Western Xia, so how can he stay in Youzhou for a long time. ”

"King Wu? It's really good luck, I'm afraid that Li Jing is ambitious and doesn't need the canonization of the imperial court! Tong Guan said in a strange manner: "At that time, I am afraid that the old lady's kindness will be in vain." ”

"If he is unwilling, then we will unite with the Jin people again, attack from both sides, we will take Youyun, and the Jin people will take the grassland, and we will eliminate Li Jing together." Cai Jing's eyes flickered, his face was gloomy, and he sneered: "I believe that no matter how many Li Jing's troops are, it may be possible to resist the attacks of the two armies at the same time, I heard that Li Qianshun and Li Jing also have a hatred of taking their wives, we can also contact Li Qianshun and attack Li Jing in three ways, even if Li Jing has the ability to reach the sky, it is impossible to resist the three armies at the same time." ”

"Okay, good, Taishi Gaojian, with these three routes and three armies, it will be difficult for Li Jing to fly even if he has wings." Tong Guan couldn't help but clapped his hands and said: "Taishi, with such a plan, why do you need to canonize Li Jing as the king, how can Li Jing be able to occupy the throne, a sinister and cunning person like him should be sent to the family to exterminate the family, let him live in the world, it is already the emperor's grace, where can he be canonized as a king." After he listened to Cai Jing's strategy, he had infinite thoughts in his heart, and from Cai Jing's words, he could hear that Bianjing was not ready to canonize him as a prince, a little anger in his heart was generated, and jealousy burst out, and he couldn't wait to raise a three-way army now, all the way to attack Hedong Road, all the way to the grassland, all the way to Youzhou, and the three-way army went hand in hand to eliminate Li Jing together.

Cai Jing frowned, even if the plan is implemented, the three-way army will attack together, things are not as simple as said, Li Jing is not a fool, the Jin people and the Western Xia people are even more difficult to deal with, inviting the two sides to join forces to send troops, I don't know how much it will cost, where it can be achieved immediately, and said at the moment: "Dispatching a large army is not an overnight thing, and the major affairs of this soldier country cannot be careless, once the army is dispatched, it must be a disaster, if Li Jing can be persuaded to give up Youzhou, let him go to deal with Western Xia." Why not? ”

"This?" Tong Guan's face changed when he heard this, and his mouth opened, but he didn't know what to say.

Cai Jing saw it clearly, how could he not know that what Tong Guan wanted in his heart was the position of the prince, and he canonized Li Jing, but did not seal him, he was just uncomfortable, and said at the moment: "If you can let Li Jing withdraw from Youzhou without using a knife and gun, and you can easily get Youzhou, doesn't this show the power of Youxiang, and the more than 200,000 soldiers are also dead, what do you think?" ”

Tong Guan was stunned when he heard this, and finally suddenly realized that as long as he captured Youzhou, no matter how many soldiers and horses he lost, His Majesty the Emperor would not blame himself, but when he thought that Li Jing actually got a prince, he was still very uncomfortable in his heart.

Cai Jing glanced at Tong Guan, and there was a burst of contempt in his heart, a prince looks very good, it's just good, a noble title, it sounds very good, according to the rules of the court, after sealing the king, it is equivalent to a noble body, and it is impossible to grasp power, unless it is like Li Jing, the heart of rebellion is known to passers-by. It's just that Tong Guan is a eunuch, what can he do if he rebels? To get this prince, it is better to be a privy envoy and master the military power. It's a pity that Tong Guan doesn't know these things at all, and he just forgets his roots for the sake of a prince.

"Prepare, the old man will go to see Li Jing now, meet Li Jing as soon as possible, and decide the matter of Youzhou as soon as possible, lest after this matter spreads, even if we get Youzhou, I'm afraid the people in the court will not let you go." Cai Jing sighed. The reason why he worked so hard was not for Tong Guan, but for Zhao Ji, and for himself, to raise troops for the Northern Expedition, seize Youzhou, and get rid of Zhao Ji's great achievements, which also had a lot to do with Cai Jing. If the Northern Expedition to Youzhou fails, Cai Jing will not get any benefits, so he will help Tong Guan so much and wipe his ass for Tong Guan. Otherwise, according to Cai Jing's character, at this time, he would rather stay in Beijing and watch the changes in the world, how could he come to Youzhou to wind and sun!

Li Jing didn't expect Cai Jing to come so quickly, on the morning of the third day, Li Jing had just finished practicing martial arts, and he heard Du Xing say that Cai Jing had arrived outside the city gate, which made Li Jing surprised.

"Please." However, Li Jing was only stunned for a moment after hearing the words, and then asked Cai Jing to come in, no matter what, everyone will have to meet sooner or later, as for the matter of occupying someone else's daughter-in-law, Li Jing also regarded it as not knowing, just a woman, in front of the old fox Cai Jing, I believe Cai Jing will not say anything.

Sure enough, after half a ring, Cai Jing, who was tired, was smiling when he saw Li Jing, and before Li Jing saluted, he arched his hand and said: "General Zhengbei, you and I haven't seen each other for many years, and today we finally see you again." ”

Seeing that Cai Jing chose a small pavilion near Taiye, although it was hot outside, the pavilion was close to the water and covered by weeping willows, which was a little cool. Li Jing rejoiced in his heart. said: "Taishi, I have worked hard all the way, and I have to stay for a while when I come to Youzhou this time." ”

"That's nature, that's nature, the old man is taken care of by you this time, and he is the first one in this dynasty to rest here. Thousands of years later, this may be recorded in the history books. Cai Jing touched his beard, and his face also showed a touched look.

Li Jing sneered in his heart, this Cai Jing is really an old fox, thinking about Youzhou all the time, but these words are just taking advantage of words, wanting Youzhou, in fact, he also speaks with strength, the Song family has no strength, even if he occupies Youzhou?

"Taishi, it's still a little early to say this, the Jin people are eyeing Youzhou! I heard that there was a covenant between the imperial court and the Jin people, and whoever got the territory of the Khitan belonged to whom, and the Jin people were evil wolves who couldn't be fed, and they had long been eyeing Youzhou, who does this Youzhou belong to now, it's really not good! Li Jing shook his head and said: "My 80,000 army fought with the Jin people, killed and wounded 50,000 people, and only eliminated more than 20,000 Jin people. ”

Cai Jing's face changed, on the one hand, he was surprised by the combat power of the Jin people, and on the other hand, he looked at Li Jing with some curiosity, he knew that Li Jing was reminding himself, but was he really so kind? Or is it to occupy Youzhou and not leave?

"The imperial court has an alliance with the Jin people, hehe, the general now occupies Youzhou, won't the Jin people still withdraw their troops? Isn't it because he has already decided that this Youzhou City is already the territory of the Great Song Dynasty? Otherwise, does the general think that your remaining tens of thousands of troops can hold Youzhou? Cai Jing suddenly said with a smile.

Li Jing felt disdain for a while, this Cai Jing is really shameless, it is obvious that the Jin people have no strength to fight, and he is ashamed to stuff the credit to the court, maybe only he is shameless, so he climbed to today's position! It's a pity that Li Jing doesn't like this kind of shamelessness, he smiled and said, "Old lady, I'm afraid you don't know yet!" Ah Guta was already dead, and after the defeat, he vomited blood and died. "How did Ah Guda die, naturally he died of illness, but Cai Jing couldn't find any loopholes, even if he knew that he died of illness, at least he died of illness after the defeat, and he also had something to do with Li Jing.

"Ah Gu was killed." Cai Jing's face was shocked, he had thought of countless possibilities, but he didn't expect that Ah Guda was actually dead, and he died after the defeat, which made him put the key to winning the battle of Youzhou on the side of the imperial court, which was obviously a little unsuitable.

"Yes! A generation of heroes has a problem with their bodies, and after the defeat, it is normal that they don't catch their breath, whether it is his younger brother inheriting the throne in Wu Qimai, or his son inheriting the throne, in a short time, I am afraid that he will not come to attack Youzhou. Li Jing glanced at Cai Jing, and the corners of his mouth raised a hint of pride, he wanted to see what kind of face Cai Jing still had to return to Youzhou.

Cai Jing's face was stunned after hearing this, and he finally smiled bitterly and said: "Li Jing, Youzhou is a place where the imperial court has spent countless manpower and material resources, and it has to be taken back, this is the dream of the imperial court for more than 100 years. Cai Jing's face was straight.

Li Jing looked at Cai Jing with some amusement, such a traitor actually thought about being famous for a hundred years, so the bad things he did, now he is saying such righteous words in his mouth, isn't it a big joke? The coercion failed, and now it has started from the righteous side, but Li Jing doesn't care about these things at all. In the eyes of the world, Li Jing is a rebellious minister and thief, and he has been nailed to the pillar of shame by the Song family, even if Youzhou is returned to the Song family, Zhao Ji and others will be grateful for Li Jing's contributions? That's not possible.

"Taishi came from afar, it is better to rest a good life, although this Youzhou city is not as beautiful as the south of the Yangtze River, but it is magnificent, the Khitan people have been operating here for more than 100 years, and it can be regarded as building a big city in northern Xinjiang, and the prosperity here in the future is probably not under Bianjing or Jiangnan!" Li Jing said with a smile. In his words, he directly cut off the possibility of Cai Jing's lobbying, everyone is an adult, what is the point of saying something that is not nutritious? It is even more impossible for Li Jing to surrender Youzhou City, which he has gained by losing tens of thousands of elites, because of Cai Jing's few words, if that is the case, I am afraid that the Han army will be separated from Germany.

"Okay, okay." Cai Jing was stunned for a moment, and finally his old face turned red, and he also felt that his performance just now made Li Jing smile. At the same time of embarrassment, there was a burst of shame in his heart, this Li Jing was too much.
