At that time, the most popular minister in the Great Song Dynasty was Cai You.

As mentioned above, as early as the eve of Tong Guan's Northern Expedition to Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, Zhao Ji took Cai Jing's position, and at the same time sent an 800-mile expedited horse to invite Cai You, who had been relegated to Qiongzhou, back.

This is a political need, and if you join Jin to destroy Liao, it is natural that whoever has a good relationship with the people of Jin will be in power. Cai Jing is a senior spokesperson for the Liao State, but Cai You was the first courtier to put forward the concept of Lianjin to destroy Liao, and it is said that he has a good relationship with Wanyan Zongwang, the second prince of the Jin State, who does not need Cai You?

Therefore, as soon as it was determined that the besieging outside the city was really the Jin army, Cai You volunteered and asked to send an envoy to the Jin camp, wanting to ask for an explanation to come back. knew that he was familiar with the people of the Jin Kingdom, and no one dared to compete with him for this errand, and Qin Hui, another speculator who was good at taking advantage of this opportunity to become an official and a knight, was in Yanjing at this time, so Cai You got his wish.

When Cai You entered the Jin camp, the Jin people were hurrying to assemble the trebuchet and at the same time mining stones in the small hills outside Bianjing City, so the Jin man coach Wanyan Zongxian did not embarrass Cai You, not only did not embarrass him, but treated him like a guest, and ordered the fourth prince Wanyan Zongbi to accompany him for a few drinks.

Jin Wushu also knew Cai You, because he and his second brother had lived in Cai You's mansion for a few days, and Cai You also entertained them well at that time.

So Cai You's confidence was stronger, and between the banquets, he asked why the Jin people came south, and Wanyan Zongxian told him with lies, saying that the Great Song Dynasty Tongguan and Bai Sheng led the Great Song Dynasty soldiers and horses to kill tens of thousands of Jin troops with the Liao army, and used tens of thousands of heads to build a Jingguan to show humiliation, which made the Jin Emperor furious, so he divided his troops to the south and attacked the two capitals of Yanjing and Bianjing at the same time.

Cai You didn't want to think about whether what Yan Zongxian said was true or false, just slapped the table as soon as he heard it, and scolded Tong Guan Bai Sheng on the spot for not knowing the general situation, going against the will of the official family, and actually doing such a stupid thing that the relatives are painful and the enemies are happy, and immediately stated that he would go back to the official family and let the official family issue an order to punish Tong Bai and the others......

Wanyan Zongxian was noncommittal, saying that since you Cai Xiangye have this statement, then our army is waiting for news outside your Bianliang City, when you take the heads of Tong Guan and Bai Sheng to see you, our army will withdraw immediately, but before that, the food and salary of our army need to be provided by your Great Song Dynasty.

Cai You was overjoyed when he heard this, and said in his heart that he had done the job as soon as he came out, and this was a great merit! As for the food, salary, and money, I was in the Song Dynasty and lacked everything, but I was not short of money! I immediately agreed, and I returned to the city in a dizzy and beautiful way, and immediately arranged for the relevant departments to mobilize grain, grass, and silver to transport them out of the city, and even bought an additional 2,000 sheep and sent them out.

The Great Song Zaizhi's handling of this kind of matter did not need to be approved by the emperor, which is like the fact that the general manager of a multinational group in later generations spent 500,000 yuan without reporting to the chairman.

Cai You returned to the court after arranging the supplies for the labor army, and boasted in front of the civil and military officials and the emperor, saying how the commander and the prince of the Jin State respected him warmly and how he agreed to withdraw the troops.

Zhao Ji was also said by Cai You, when he heard Cai You say that the military disaster was caused by Tong Guan and Bai Sheng, he was immediately furious, and immediately sent people to Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures to send Tong Guan back to Beijing with a holy decree.

Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures won't fight first! You Tong Guan will come back first and explain it to me clearly!

He didn't want to think about whether Tong Guan was the kind of person who dared to openly disobey his emperor's will, he just felt that at this time, someone had to take responsibility for this, as long as he could keep his throne and territory, what was it to sacrifice a Tong Guan?

Cai You didn't dare to tell the emperor that he had promised Tong Guan Bai Sheng two heads to the Jin country, he felt that as long as Tong Guan came back, he would have a hundred ways to cut off Tong Guan's head.

As for Bai Sheng, it is a tricky problem, because this person has never been very obedient to the dispatch of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is not difficult to kill him, not to mention for the time being, this person may not be easy to find!

It's just that this is nothing, as long as you can hand over Tong Guan's head to Jin Guoren, and then pay a lot of money and property, it is estimated that it will be about the same, but it is a pity that Wanyan Zongxian is a disabled person, and it seems to be very disabled, and I don't know if I can still do anything, otherwise I will send him a hundred beauties first, which is much more effective than money and property.

All of the above is the dream of Cai You, the new ruler of the Great Song Dynasty, who naively thought that only by living in his house for a few days in the past, Wanyan Zongwang would be able to turn war into a jade silk, and the current enemy did not consider whether the city defense was firm and whether the troops defending the city were sufficient.

Of course, even if the Great Song Dynasty has been corrupted to the point of being terminally ill, there is no shortage of loyal, brave and upright people in the court, but these people have no real power in their hands, and they are soft-spoken, and the main battle voice they made was suppressed by Cai You and his gang of traitors, and they didn't even have the opportunity to speak to the emperor.

The only exception is Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, who is the main battle.

Although Zhao Kai does not have any real power in his hands, but after all, his identity is there, he is a prince, and he is the prince of the king, and the Great Song Kingdom talks about the dignity of status, in addition to the emperor Zhao Ji and his brother Zhao Heng, the third is him Zhao Kai.

Zhao Kai was the only one who had the opportunity to speak to his father, hoping that the Great Song Dynasty would resolve the dispute by force, but even his opportunity to speak was only once.

"What are you fighting? What are you fighting? The main elite of our Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army are all in the sixteen states of Yanyun, just with the current 160,000 foot soldiers of the garrison Beijing Division, can they beat 100,000 iron cavalry of other people? It's really naïve!"

Even if Zhao Ji is a layman in the war, he also knows the huge gap between infantry and cavalry, indeed, 160,000 infantry can never beat 100,000 cavalry, this is a well-known thing, but Zhao Ji forgot that the comparison between cavalry and infantry in the siege battle is another situation, and the Great Song army can completely defend the city.

So after he reprimanded Zhao Kai, he flicked his sleeves and went back to the harem to have a chat with Concubine Wei Xian, and it was not until the last few days that his dragon root completely returned to normal and was able to gallop on the body of the harem concubines. However, after counting the three thousand beauties in the harem, the most ecstatic thing for him was none other than Concubine Wei Xian, it just so happened that Concubine Wei Xian had been hungry and thirsty for more than half a year, and the two of them happened to be dry firewood, and they were still not addicted to it after two days in a row, and they had to continue to practice.

Zhao Kai touched his nose and was very unwilling, he felt that even if his suggestion was rejected by his father, the soldiers and civilians of Bianjing could not be paralyzed, could Fanbang Hulu's words be believed? What if they suddenly attacked the city?

Therefore, while inspecting the city defense and asking the soldiers to be ready for the battle, he invited the martial arts colleagues in the capital to come to the gathering in the name of the Imperial Boxing Gym to discuss the anti-gold plan.

However, at this time, some people with high prestige in the capital's martial arts were basically not in the capital. Zhou Tong went to Shaolin Temple, Zhan Renlong followed Tong Guan to the Northern Expedition, and there were no characters in Tianbo Yang Mansion who could hold up the façade, and only Di Lie participated in this gathering among the four major boxing gyms in the capital.

Zhao Kai has always respected Di Lie very much, not only because Di Lie's Wansheng Boxing Gym has never lost a few points to the Royal Boxing Gym, but also because they are cousins. As the saying goes, aunt cousin, aunt cousin, break bones and tendons. So no matter what aspect it is, Zhao Kai admires Di Lie very much, so he asked Di Lie to be the leader of the martial arts alliance in the capital and lead everyone to discuss the strategy of resisting gold.

Di Lie decisively rejected Zhao Kai's proposal, and he was not the leader of the alliance.

First of all, it is because the anti-gold alliance is entirely composed of civilian warriors convened by Zhao Kai, which is contrary to the holy will of Emperor Zhao Ji. It's okay to go against the holy will, after all, Zhao Kai is Zhao Ji's own son, but he Di Lie can't pick this head, because he is a national relative.

Since Wang Mang usurped the throne, the rulers of all dynasties in the land of China have been extremely jealous of their relatives, and the Great Song Dynasty is of course no exception.

Of course, Di Lie knows his embarrassment, and he can be respected, but at the same time, he can't join any group organization to act as the leader, otherwise he will be suspicious of the royal family, so he can't be the leader of this martial arts alliance.

Although he refused to serve as the leader of the alliance, it did not mean that Di Lie did not agree with Zhao Kai's main battle thoughts, and he also thought that none of these Hulu were honest and trustworthy, and there was no reason to talk about it with Hulu, just one word, kill. So while refusing to serve as the leader of the alliance, he put forward another suggestion, that is, to invite the Western Army of the Cultivation Division back to rescue the Jingshi.

Concealing the emperor's dispatch of border troops back to Beijing is basically unreliable, not to mention that if the emperor knows about this matter, it is tantamount to rebellion, but only that ordinary people other than the emperor cannot mobilize the border army at all, and you can transfer it if you want?

But Di Lie felt that Zhao Kai should have a way to do this, because Zhao Kai could steal the tiger talisman that his father kept.

Zhao Kai accepted this suggestion, and at the same time he also wrote a blood letter to the seed master to show the degree of danger of the Beijing master. As for Di Lie not being the leader of the alliance, he naturally can't force Di Lie, not to mention that he doesn't know how high Di Lie's martial arts are, lest Di Lie be elected as the leader of the alliance, and he will not be able to convince the people internally and intimidate the enemy externally.

At the moment of such a big enemy, the newly established Beijing Martial Arts Alliance must have a strong martial arts alliance leader to sit in charge, otherwise it will be a plate of scattered sand and meaningless. At this point, Zhao Kai felt that Zhou Tong should be more suitable than Di Lie.

On the other hand, he also hoped that Zhou Dong could invite the world's martial arts sect masters and Shaolin monks gathered on Shaomu Mountain to come over to strengthen his momentum.

This idea is naturally good, Zhou Dong alone can top one or two thousand ordinary martial artists, and there is indeed a need to recall. However, at this time, Bianjing was already a besieged city, who and how could they be sent to highlight the heavy encirclement of the enemy army, and then go to Dengfeng and Yanzhou?

Zhao Kai was also smart, and after consulting with Di Lie, he decided to send 800 elite warriors to mix in Zhang Bangchang's team to create the gold camp.

What kind of team is Zhang Bangchang? Zhang Bangchang is the Qincha sent out by Emperor Zhao Ji, and he went to pass Tong Guan back to Beijing to stand trial with a holy decree; of course Zhang Bangchang could not go on the road alone, and the guards of Lord Qincha must have 35,000 people, and this Qincha men, who were about to leave Bianjing for Yanjing, had been approved by the Jin military and were given passage.

Originally, after Zhao Kai found Zhang Bangchang to discuss, this matter was already safe, of course Zhang Bangchang would not give Zhao Kai face, it didn't make a difference whether his guards were 5,000 or 5,008.

In short, he expected that the eight hundred people that Zhao Kai asked him to bring would definitely not dare to mess around in the Jin camp, since this is the case, then take them out, as for where and what these eight hundred people will do after they go out, it is not something that I, Zhang Bangchang, need to care about.

It stands to reason that there is nothing wrong with the plan discussed by Zhao Kai and Di Lie, but who would have thought that this matter would reach Cai You's ears, Cai You stopped doing it when he heard it, and said in his heart Zhao Kai, you can't see me Cai You being promoted to an official with meritorious service, do you have to come awkwardly with me?

I've already persuaded the Jin soldiers to withdraw from the army, but you have to go outside to move the troops for help, isn't this to dismantle my platform? Besides, if you are allowed to move the soldiers and come back, the people of the Jin country will not be able to say that I, Cai You, am a Ming cultivator of the plank road?

What should we do? It is easy to do, send someone to inform the Jin people, tell them that there is a group of warriors of the Great Song Dynasty in Zhang Bangchang's team, detain these 800 people, and release them when the two sides negotiate peace and the Jin soldiers return to their homeland.

So he repaired a letter overnight, stabbed the news to Wanyan Zongxian, and wrote his thoughts on the letter, and then sent his henchmen to Jinying. Look, I'm a friend enough, open enough, right? I'm the most sincere to your friends in the Golden Kingdom!

In other words, is a politician like Cai You stupid? Absolutely not stupid. Don't talk about fools, even people with good IQs can't get to his level on the way, but what is the difference between him and a fool when you see what he does?

Throughout the ages, there has never been a shortage of smart people like Cai You in the Chinese political arena.

Besides, Cai You's letter was sent to the golden camp, and Yan Zongxian smiled when he saw it, the trebuchet has been assembled, and a batch of stone bullets has been prepared, and he is worried that there is no excuse to start attacking the city, okay, if you want to sleep, Cai You will send a pillow, very good!

In this way, when Zhang Bangchang led 5,800 men and horses through the Jin camp, the Jin soldiers suddenly attacked, surrounded Zhang Bangchang and all the soldiers, and launched a massacre.

The Jin army was ordered by Wanyan Zongxian, so no matter which of the 5,800 soldiers were Zhang Bangchang's men and horses, and which were the warriors who went out to ask for help and move troops, they would kill them first, in short, they would rather kill all of them than let one go.
