Hearing that Zhao Gou was being taken to the Liaodong Army by Wanyan Wu, Cao Li had an ominous premonition in his heart. He looked at Wanyan Talan and asked lazily: "When the two countries are at war, don't kill the envoy! You have already After killing Qin Hui, do you still want to kill King Kang again?"
Wanyan Tarlan said coldly: "Your Majesty, do you think we dare not kill King Kang? The Emperor has said that if his army is frustrated in front of Huacheng Pass, he will kill the twelve princesses with one sword even if they risk their lives. Zhao Gou’s head!”
This is not a threat, but the truth!
The most ruthless emperor's family, no matter how much Wanyan Wu Qimai dotes on Wan Yan Yan, he will not ruin his overall situation for her - if Wu Qimai is frustrated before Huacheng Pass, then his prestige will plummet, Pulu It is impossible for a tiger to choose Ban Bo Ji Lie. At that time, in order to temporarily stabilize his power, Wu Qimai must show his toughness to the clan and important ministers of the Kingdom of Jin.
And killing Zhao Gou was the only way...even if it cost the life of his daughter Wanyan Yan.
However, Cao Li knew that Wanyanyan's head was safe because her body was so impressive that not only did Zhao Kai become obsessed with her, but she also became pregnant with a dragon seed.
In addition, Cao Li also noticed that Zhao Kai seemed to hate Zhao Gou - Zhao Kai was actually very good to his brothers and had already made six brothers magistrates or magistrates, including the former crown prince who had been fighting with Zhao Kai for more than ten years. Zhao Huan.
Moreover, they recently planned to seal the tenth brother Zhao Cai and the eleventh brother Zhao Mo to Quanzhou and Guangzhou respectively as magistrates. But Zhao Gou missed it!
Previously, Zhao Huan also recommended Zhao Gou as the magistrate of the state in the name of Zhao Ji, but Zhao Kai crossed out Zhao Gou's name and changed it to his half-brother Zhao Zhi.
After Zhao Gou was sent by Zhao Huan to Daming Mansion on official business, Zhao Kai sent him a fatal mission to the enemy camp.
Moreover, after the news of Qin Hui's murder came back, Zhao Kai didn't worry about Zhao Gou's safety... He had an indifferent attitude that if he died, he would die.
Although Zhao Kai has many brothers, and Zhao Ji is not very old and can continue to sow seeds, Zhao Kai's attitude towards Zhao Gou is still a bit cold.
Thinking of this, Cao Li frowned and said to Wanyan Talan: "As long as the Jin soldiers withdraw from Yanshanfu Road, the officials will recall Captain Gao and most of the Song troops deployed in Fuzhou.
In addition, as long as your emperor and the emperor's eldest son appear in front of the Fuzhou Army, the officials will order the first installment of the betrothal gift, worth millions of goods, to be sent to the north bank of the Juma River.
When the Jin soldiers withdraw from Yanshanfu Road, the officials will give another two million... As for the delivery place, it can be Juehua Island in Xingcheng, western Liaoning.
As for the last one million, I can wait until the two parties formally negotiate a marriage, and then give it to you in the name of a betrothal gift... How about putting this one million betrothal gift on the table? "
Wanyan Talan had no objection to the method of "collecting numbers"... It was impossible to give all the huge capital of 4 million at once.
Moreover, Wanyan Wu does not have to spend 4 million to "buy tickets" at once. The money for buying tickets can also be paid in installments.
However, Wanyan Talan had something to say about the Jin soldiers' withdrawal from Yanshan Mansion Road.
Wanyan said lazily: "I, Emperor Dajin, are now personally conquering Liaodong. Naturally, I will take away most of the Jurchen soldiers and horses on Yanshanfu Road and the Bohai Sea. But voluntarily giving up the sacred land of Yanshanfu Road is not an option... ...So Guo Yaoshi, Liu Yanzong, Yelu Mawu and other tribes will still stay on Yanshanfu Road!"
Cao Li smiled and said: "What are you leaving them for? To give them away? You all the Nuzhen princes have run away. If you leave some lackeys on Yanshan Mansion Road, can you still expect them to resist the heavenly soldiers? How about this...leave one Medicine Master Guo just wants to do what he wants, Liu Yanzong and Yelu Mawu have no grudges against our dynasty, so you should just transfer them away!"
Cao Li spoke in an understatement, as if he had a plan in mind, but in fact he also knew that the troops of Guo Yaoshi, Liu Yanzong, and Yelu Ma were still very difficult. Guo Yaoshi had about 8,000 households, and Liu Yanzong and Yelu Mawu had more troops, both around 20,000 households. The combined strength of the three men amounted to a full 50,000 households... This is a "household", not a "ding".
Moreover, the "households" of the Han'er Army and the Khitan Army were generally larger than those of the Jurchens and Bohais, and they were all "big households". It was common for five or six strong men in one household to be sparse. Behind 50,000 households are 250,000 to 300,000 strong men.
Then the troops would be really anxious and jump over the wall. It would not be easy for Zhao Kai to take them down with the few troops he had on hand.
However, Wanyan Talan will not give in easily, because he does not want to completely give up Yanshanfu Road... even if he holds Jizhou, Jingzhou, and Chanzhou next to Yanshan, it would be good.
He was silent for a moment and then said to Cao Li: "The road to Yanshan Mansion was obtained through hard work and hard work. You cannot give up easily, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public. How about this? I will arrange for Pharmacist Guo to guard Yizhou and Zhuozhou, and Yelu Mawu to guard Chanzhou. , Shunzhou, Juyongguan, Liu Yanzong guarded Jizhou, Jingzhou, and Yutian. I personally led the Xi army to guard Jinfu City... After I received the first batch of millions of goods, I used the excuse that Liaoxi was in a hurry and led me Leave with Xi Bing and the goods, and transfer Pharmacist Guo to Xijin Mansion. As for how you captured the states in Yanshan Mansion, how you drove away Liu Yanzong and Yelu Mawu, and how you captured Pharmacist Guo, I will not ask. .”
This is equivalent to asking Zhao Kai to pay 4 million for an opportunity!
Cao Li also fell into silence, and after a while he said: "In this case, the same arrangement must be made in Fuzhou. Huachengguan can be given to you, and Gao Taiwei and the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty can be recalled, but the Liao soldiers and Liao soldiers Queen, you have to drive her away yourself."
Wanyan laughed lazily: "Is it possible that you still want the bald soldiers of the Song Army to pretend to be Liao soldiers?"
Cao Li also smiled and said: "We have given up Huacheng Pass and recalled Lieutenant Gao... Are you still worried that you can't conquer the small Fuzhou Peninsula?"
If this was really impossible to defeat, the Kingdom of Jin would be really disgraced, and the name of Queen Yu Liyan of Liao would be established.
"How is that possible?" Wanyan Tart raised his eyebrows lazily, "But our country has to hold Prince Kang and Zhao Gou in our hands until we regain the entire territory of Fuzhou!"
Cao Li nodded, "Okay, it's a deal!"
...
"Your Majesty, look at this..."
In the Daming Mansion Palace, in the Shixun Palace, Cao Li, who had rushed back from Juma River after a long journey, had already reported the results of the negotiations and was waiting for Zhao Kai's final decision.
"Hmph, our Song Dynasty has no shortage of kings. Without King Kang, I still have about twenty brothers! Moreover, the Supreme Emperor also has more than a thousand concubines, most of whom are young and beautiful! How could I do this? But brother?"
Yes, what Zhao Kai lacks most is brothers... However, this statement still surprised Cao Li, Shen Changsheng, Wu Lin, Yao Pingzhong, Guo Tiannu and others.
It seems that what Cao Li asked was not the fate of King Kang, but whether the "deal" of regaining Yanshan Mansion Road and giving up Fuzhou could be done?
"Everyone, will you allow my father to be a minister of the Song Dynasty again?" Guo Tiannu couldn't help but interrupt. She has fallen out of favor recently. Wanyanyan and Yu Liyan are too competitive! Moreover, Zhao Kai also has a school beauty group of 30 people, and now they are all in Daming Mansion.
In addition, Guo Tiannu's starting point is too low. Although he worked very hard to atone for his sins after following Zhao Kai, now he has only atoned for his sins and was promoted from a slave to a female official... Now he is a female official in one of the six harem and twenty-four divisions. In fact, he is Zhao Kai's female bodyguard.
In other words, Guo Tiannu is now on the path of being a female official, not a concubine. When a female official reaches the sixth rank, she is only a fifth-rank female official.
There is no way to compare with a concubine!
So Guo Tiannu wanted to make her father return to the pot and become a Song minister... If Medicine Master Guo could return to the pot and become a Song minister, then Guo Tiannu's sins would naturally be cleared.
Once the guilt is gone, it’s time to discuss merit. Not to mention anything else, but for the military merit of raiding the Wei County gate of Daming Prefecture, you should be made a concubine, right?
"No!" Zhao Kai rejected Guo Tiannu without even thinking.
Guo Tiannu immediately felt extremely aggrieved. Although her father was nothing, Wanyanyan's father was Wu Qimai, and Yu Liyan's father was Yelu Yanxi... He was not a good person, so why should he target her? What about her?
Seeing Guo Tiannv looking like she was about to cry, Zhao Kai laughed and said: "I heard that when Guo Yaoshi was a minister of the Song Dynasty, his troops did not change the left skirt and still wore the Liao uniform.
When he met with the Supreme Emperor in court, he said: Tian Zuo, my old master, the country was broken and he ran away, so I will surrender. Your Majesty's envoys have completed their orders and dare not resign. If they betray their old master, it will not be done for your Majesty's purpose. I am willing to pay others.
Since Pharmacist Guo misses his old master Yelu Yanxi so much, and now that Princess Shu, the daughter of Yelu Yanxi, has reopened the Daliao Foundation in Fuzhou, shouldn't he go and join her? "
"Everyone, what do you mean..."
Guo Tiannu looked at Zhao Kai blankly, really confused.
Zhao Kai smiled and said: "Wu Qimai still wants to get involved in Yandi. Of course I will also put down roots in Fuzhou... I will ask Gao Yaoqing to build a fortress in the Shikou area as a remnant." Li Yan restored the foundation of Liao. Since Medicine Master Guo misses the Lord of Liao, he just goes to defend this city!
I will not let him work in vain. All military supplies, food and salary will be paid by me, and will be distributed according to the standard of 10,000 people. If there is an opportunity to take over Liaodong in the future, the land of Tiezhou and Helanguan will be given to him for the rest of his life. Even if the lion fails to keep its mouth, I will arrange for him to evacuate to the coast of Goryeo.
Goddess, if your father becomes a minister of the Liao Kingdom, you will no longer be the daughter of a guilty minister, but will naturally be my concubine! "
It turns out that Wu Qimai and Ta Lan wanted Yao Shi Guo to be a key householder in "Old Beijing", but Zhao Kai came to retaliate and wanted to send Yao Shi Guo to "Lushunkou, Dalian" to be a household staple. . That’s Lushunkou surrounded by mountains! Dagushan, Xiaogushan, 203 Highlands... are enough for a golden thief to drink!
In addition, if Pharmacist Guo returns to serve as a minister of the Liao Kingdom, what will happen to Yelu Mawu? What should Yelu Yujian do? Yelu Ma Wu and Yelu Yu can be named Yelu! The slaves of the three surnames never forget the daughter of their old master. Yelu Mawu and Yelu Yujian continue to recognize the thief as their father and serve as the gold thief's dog. Are these still human beings?
