Chapter 589: Tong Guan was intimidated
Wanyan Zongjun left Li Jing's camp above board, he came under the banner of an envoy, maybe Li Jing didn't care what kind of signal the other party's arrival would send to outsiders, but outsiders didn't think so, whether it was the Khitan and Tong Guan, especially Tong Guan, they got bad news for two consecutive days, Li Jing actually met with the Khitan and Jin people, and he didn't put him as a privy envoy and a concubine in his eyes at all, and he was very angry in his heart.

"I'm afraid this Li Jing is really going to betray the court and make peace with the enemy privately, this is a big crime!" Seed Master Dao couldn't help but sigh and said honestly, his impression of Li Jing was still very good, but Li Jing's approach at the moment made him very disappointed, with tens of thousands of troops in his hands, he should serve the imperial court at this time and help the imperial court seize Youzhou, not like now.
"Big sin, where does he care about these now, he is going to seize Youzhou now, so that he can be the king and hegemon, otherwise, where will he meet with the Khitan and Jin people?" Tong Guan said viciously.
In fact, he has other opinions in his heart, in Yandi, Tong Guan is the commander of the three armies, even if it is to sue for peace or start a war, it should be looking for him, not looking for Li Jing. What the Jin and Khitan people did was to exclude Tong Guan, and they simply looked down on each other's performance, which made Tong Guan how could he bear it.
"Right now, our army has suffered heavy losses, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover its original strength in a short time, and if you want to attack Youzhou City, I'm afraid it's a little difficult!" He glanced at Tong Guan, and when he saw Tong Guan's gloomy face, he immediately whispered: "What does Xia Guan mean, should I wait until Bianjing has news before making a decision?" Or let the Daimyo's Mansion send some more soldiers and horses. ”
Tong Guan nodded, although the letter he sent to Bianjing was urgent, but at most at this time, it had just fallen into the hands of Zhao Ji, and he really didn't know when he would wait for the reply from the imperial court. It's just that the current situation makes him not know what to do.
"If you are relieved, the lower officials are willing to go to see Li Jing." Seeing that Tong Guan was very embarrassed, the seed master suddenly said: "Or let General Zhe go." The general in his mouth refers to the general of Zhe Kecun, who is from Fuzhou, and more importantly, the Zhe family is from the Lan Army, and the Lan Army is now one of the armies under Li Jing, and everyone can be regarded as having a trace of incense.
"So let's save it!" Tong Guan nodded and said: "This Youzhou is a place that my Han people have wanted to get for more than a hundred years, and we must not give such a military town to others because of Li Jing's ambition, not only Li Jing, but also we will be sinners." Although Tong Guan's words are his selfishness, but he also has to say that this is what he thinks in his heart, in the face of the current situation in Youzhou, Tong Guan is very anxious in his heart, on the one hand, he is worried that the prince is drifting away from him, and on the other hand, he is also worried that he may not be able to return to Bianjing, even if he looks down on Li Jing, at this time, I am afraid that he can only join forces with Li Jing to solve the current problem.
And once Li Jing joins forces with others, everything about himself will become a utopia, and the so-called prince doesn't dare to imagine it at all, and he doesn't even know if his life can be saved.
There are all kinds of news circulating in Bianjing every day, but in the last day or two, the most attentional thing is the matter of Youzhou, the recovery of Youzhou is the most concerned thing of Zhao Song Jiangshan, and it is also the thing that the Han people are most concerned about.
The market is full of all kinds of news, or Li Jing has captured Yunzhou, attacked the grassland, and seized a large area of land, or Tong Guan's army has invaded Youzhou City, etc., all kinds of good news spread throughout Bianjing, and even the scholars who were dissatisfied with Li Jing before said a lot of good things at this time.
Of course, this is only the lower-class people or scholars, but the people who really know about the affairs of Youzhou are silent about this matter, and no one dares to talk about it.
Tong Guan's piece of paper broke the expectations of Zhao's monarchs, Tong Guan's 300,000 army lost two games in a row, both of which were defeated in the hands of the Khitans, and the 300,000 army was wiped out by the Khitan tens of thousands of troops Only about 100,000 remained, the vitality was greatly damaged, the morale of the soldiers was damaged, and they no longer dared to attack Youzhou.
Look at the information sent by Li Jing again, seize Yunzhou with his own strength, and also crisscross the grassland, recruiting countless grassland tribes, compared to Li Jing, Tong Guan is a fool, stupid like a pig. If it weren't for the fact that the Khitans were exhausted and only had their last glory left, I am afraid that Zhao Ji would have ordered Tong Guan to withdraw his troops.
"Tong Guan said that it was all because of Li Jing that the Jin army did not attack Youzhou, so that the Khitans had a chance to breathe, what do you think?" Zhao Ji did not convene the ministers in the main hall, but summoned Cai Jing and a few other limited ministers, no matter how glorious Tong Guan was, he couldn't hide the fact that Tong Guan failed.
"As long as the victory can be achieved in the end, the old minister thinks that it is normal to have some losses, the privy envoy has been on the battlefield for a long time, although there are small setbacks now, but the minister thinks that the privy envoy will definitely be able to occupy Youzhou City in the end." Cai Jing said without thinking.
"Old lady, now the privy envoy only has 100,000 troops in his hands, and Li Jing has hundreds of thousands in his hands, not to mention the golden people." The crown prince Zhao Huan immediately retorted: "Old lady, if this Youzhou City is attacked by the Jin people, then how much benefit can I get from the Great Song Dynasty, the Jin people are not good people, they occupy Youzhou, and they will definitely not give up Youzhou City to us easily." ”
"What the prince said is very true, this is also what the old minister is about to say, the emperor once said in advance, whoever can recover the sixteen states of Youyun will be crowned king, why not use this as bait, I believe that whether it is Li Jing or a privy envoy, they are all fighting bravely, and the morale of the soldiers under them is greatly boosted. Although the Jin people are surrounded by the left and right, they are definitely not the opponents of Li Jing and the privy envoys. Youzhou will definitely fall back into the hands of my Great Song. ”
"Taishi, are you here to crown Li Jing as king?" Wang Hao suddenly spoke, only to see a strange light flashing in his amber eyes, looking at Cai Jing deadly, and said: "Now that Li Jing has captured Yunzhou, and the soldiers are also pointing directly at the city of Youzhou, if he is crowned king, he is only a stone's throw away from the throne." Isn't it because you want to make this suggestion at this time to give Li Jing the title of king? ”
"Is it important whether you want to give Li Jing the title of king or not?" Cai Jing said disdainfully: "Li Jing's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses occupy Hedong Road, Yunzhou, and the northwest grassland, do we still have the strength to seize Hedong Road and exterminate Li Jing?" Cai Jing said disdainfully: "At this time, it is better to use Youzhou City as a bait and let Li Jing help us seize Youzhou." ”
