On the way from Bianjing to Xuzhou, Heda rode a war horse, with more than ten thousand elite soldiers behind him, and marched eastward in a mighty manner.
After the alliance between Jin and Song, the location of Xuzhou became very important, and the Jin court had to send a trustworthy person to guard it.
In terms of transportation at this time, the most labor-saving way to save money on the road is undoubtedly water transportation.
Therefore, most of the supplies aided by the Southern Song Dynasty would be transported from the Huaihe River to the Kingdom of Jin through the Yellow River, Grand Canal, Suishui, Woishui and other water systems.
If Xuzhou is lost, the Mongols can threaten various rivers and block the Southern Song Dynasty's support to the Jin Kingdom.
The State of Jin had a certain understanding of the political situation in the Southern Song Dynasty and knew that the internal party struggles in the Southern Song Dynasty were fierce.
Now the Prime Minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zheng Qingzhi, was quite close to Zhao Fan, Zhao Kui and others, and the Jinghu envoy Shi Songzhi was a member of Shi Miyuan's party.
Therefore, the Song Dynasty's assistance to the Jin Kingdom must have been led by Zhao Fan, the envoy of the Lianghuai System. Wanyan Shouxu sent Heda to Xuzhou to facilitate the reception of assistance from the Southern Song Dynasty.
At this time, Heda was marching all the way and soon arrived in Xuzhou. As soon as he entered the city and stayed in the cabin arranged by Pu Chaguannu, the door was pushed open before he could take a breath.
Heda was soaking his feet when he saw the person coming, it was Hengshan Gongwuxian.
"Chonghou! Why are you doing this?" Heda frowned and looked at Wu Xian who had rudely barged in.
In terms of treating the Han people, the policies of the rulers of the Jin Kingdom were relatively flexible.
The Jurchen nobles, who had become warlords like Wuxian and had certain power, adopted a defensive strategy to prevent Han warlords from turning to the Mongols.
For those Han people who have not yet emerged, they will try to suppress them to prevent too many Han people from climbing to high positions and affecting the Jurchen nobles' control of the Jin Dynasty court.
Wu Xian was furious, "I heard that the Generalissimo arrived in Xuzhou, so I came here to ask for an explanation from the Generalissimo."
Heda said with a dark face, "Tell me how you have been wronged, and I will make the decision for you."
Wu Xian said: "I would like to ask the commander-in-chief, are the soldiers of humble position the soldiers of Dajin?"
Heda said: "Of course they are Dai Jin's soldiers!"
"Then why did the other tribes in Xuzhou City receive food and salary, but they didn't pay it to me?" Wu Xian asked.
"Is there such a thing?" Heda looked surprised, but then he realized that it was probably Pu Chaguan Nu who wanted to suppress Wu Xian.
Wu Xian had an angry look on his face, "How can you talk nonsense about this under your humble position? The marshal will know as soon as he asks whether it has been announced or not."
Heda Xindao Pucha Guannu was a little confused. A Han Chinese like Wu Xian who had become a duke had a great influence in the army and the local area. Moreover, he had thousands of troops and could not be treated like this.
Heda put on a smile and comforted him: "Chonghou, don't be angry yet. The court is in difficulty now, and there are so many people in Xuzhou City. Someone has to go first and some come last. Let's do this. How much do you need? I'll write a note to the official. The slave will give it to you."
Wu Xian said: "Generalissimo, our department is about to run out of food. Give me ten thousand gu of money and five thousand shi of food. I can tide over the difficulties with my humble position."
Heda exhaled and looked around. Wu Xian quickly found pen and paper from the table. Heda took it and wrote down a warrant. "Go to the official slave and ask him to allocate it to you."
Wu Xian took over and was overjoyed, "Thank you, Marshal!"
Heda waved his hands a little tiredly, and Wu Xian went out knowingly.
After leaving the camp, he got on his horse and led a team of horses straight to Xuanfu Division.
Not long after, Wu Xian came to the Yamen. He looked at several carriages parked in front of the door, and then walked directly into the Yamen, but was blocked by the Jurchen officer guarding the door.
"Mr. Hengshang, I'm sorry, but Prime Minister Xuan is not at the Yamen and has gone to work."
Wuxian and Pu Chaguannu have been in conflict for a long time, and the two have broken up a long time ago. He pushed the officer away and said, "Get away! Even a conspiracy dares to stop me!"
After finishing speaking, he walked directly in. He was a prince after all, and the guards in the yamen did not dare to use force and could only follow behind and yell.
After the Song and Jin Dynasties reached an intention to unite, the Song Dynasty lifted the blockade on the Jin Kingdom, and commercial exchanges began to resume. Xuzhou guarded the north-south key points, and Pu Chaoguan Nu Yanguo plucking feathers made a lot of money.
Now that he has the financial power in Xuzhou, all the military leaders in the city are trying to fawn over him. In order to get money and food from him, they all need to eat, drink, play with him, and give him benefits.
When Wuxian saw so many carriages in front of the Yamen, he knew that Pu Chaguan's slave must be inside the Yamen.
At this time, he was eating and drinking in the back hall with several Jurchen and Khitan generals, enjoying a feast of sea and sky.
Wuxian broke in, and the general who was holding the beauty in his arms immediately let go of the beauty with some embarrassment. Only Pu Chaoguannu regarded Wuxian as nothing, and still touched the woman in his arms.
Wu Xian said with a dark face: "Xuanfu Envoy, the Generalissimo asked you to allocate 10,000 gu of money to me and 5,000 gu of food for emergency use."
Pu Chaguan Nu looked at Wu Xian coldly and said with a smile: "The Generalissimo didn't tell me, I don't know!"
Wu Xian had expected what he was going to do, so he took out the Heda Warrant and said, "This is the warrant written by the Grand Marshal. You can allocate food now!"
Pu Chaguan's slave did not go to pick it up. He squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Since there is a warrant from the generalissimo, I know this. Let's go back first. When I am ready, I will let you know to pick it up."
Wuxian stood still. Seeing this, Pu Chaguan's slave pushed the woman who was almost stripped by him and fell down in front of Wuxian, "Since you are not leaving, you might as well sit down and play with me. This I will reward you as a woman."
Wu Xian saw this and snorted coldly, "You'd better hurry up. This is what the Grand Marshal wants."
After saying this, Wu Xian waved his sleeves and left.
Pu Chaoguannu looked at his back, but sneered: "Huh, just wait! I lent food to Zhao Tai, and you want to ask for food from me, just dream!"
A Jurchen general next to him said worriedly: "Xuan Xiang, how will the Generalissimo explain this?"
Pu Chaoguannu didn't take it seriously, "Although the Grand Marshal has given instructions, I am also very nervous about money and food here. I didn't say I wouldn't give it. I just want to wait until I have money in my account."
When everyone heard this, they all flattered the official slave, and the official slave greeted a few people to continue eating, drinking and having fun.
During the dinner, Pu Chaguan's slave hugged the beauty and praised: "Zhanli, these women are really good!"
"Xuanxiang, this is a skinny horse that I bought at a high price from a Huainan merchant. I specially gave it to Xuanxiang as a tribute." A general said quickly.
Pu Chaguan Nu said cheerfully while kneading: "Tell me, how much did you spend?"
"It's not much to report back to Prime Minister Xuan, just five thousand strings." The general said.
When Pu Chaoguan's slave heard this, he stretched out his hand, and one of his subordinates brought it to pay for the expenses. He immediately asked someone to open a note for ten thousand guan, use the official seal, and handed it to the general, "Take it, I never Treat your own people badly! As for those Han generals, it’s better if they can’t hold on any longer. How can Dajin’s money support the Han army?”
In the Xuanfu Division, Pu Chaguan Nu and others indulged in drinking and debauchery, while Wuxian returned to the camp.
At this time, as soon as he entered the camp, he saw a training soldier on the ground. Wu Xian stepped forward and asked, "What's going on?"
The officer in charge of the training explained: "The prince is not full, so he will give it to the hungry."
Wu Xian had a dark face and sighed, "Reduce the intensity of recent training and help him into the tent to rest!"
