Chapter 154: Lu Xiulin escapes, Wanyan Dan loses power and threatens!

"If you are willing to return to the Jin camp north, you can walk down your troops. If you want to go to Jiangnan to avoid disaster, you will withdraw money from the account. If you want to stay in Luzhou to fight against the Jin camp, you must go to Jincheng for training, but you cannot be anxious. Our Yue family army will never make things difficult for anyone. The road is at your feet, and the whereabouts will be yourselves!" Yue Lei stood on the Tutai and shouted to thousands of Han troops in Luzhou camp, explaining the Jincheng army's policy of "preferential treatment of prisoners".

Yue Lei appeared at the scene of the surrendered army. The identity of the "Second Prince of Yuemen" was worth a few cents, and all the Han soldiers admired it. After all, since Yue Fei and Yue Yun's death, Yue Lei had already been the chief of the Yue family in Jiangnan. If there were any authentic Yue family troops in the world, there would be no other part-colons. Yang Zaixing decided early to let Yue Lei come forward to pacify the army. As for the Jurchen soldiers who fell into his hands, according to Yang Zaixing's order, no one survived and killed more than 300 prisoners. Although it was contrary to the spirit of the Geneva Convention in later generations, considering the tens of millions of dead bones on the ground in Hebei and the humiliated Song Dynasty nobles in the Five Kingdoms of Shangjing, the price that must be paid to kill the Jurchen people in the Great Jin Dynasty.

The next day, the Han army began to divert. After seeing the murderous aura of the Jurchen captives being slaughtered, the Han army at first did not think that what Yue Lei said was the truth. They always thought that those who went north could not escape death. At most, they would be allowed to leave the city, which was a chase. They did not know that hundreds of men were desperately proposing to go north to reunite with their families. Yue Lei still gave him a little travel expense to return. At this moment, people were amazed. In the end, more than a thousand Han troops returned to Hebei. Five thousand Han troops stayed to resist the Jin Dynasty, but more than two thousand people went south, most of whom were young or had relatives in Jiangnan. Yue Lei said that he would do it. According to Yang Zaixing's policy, he arranged travel expenses for all those who went south and led the way to cross Henan.

Although Lu Xiulin was born in a family of poetry and books, he worked for the thief for many years. Hong Hao listed him as the must-killed people. Unexpectedly, the people in the city jointly recommended the fellow villagers. They came forward to recommend Lu Xiulin, saying that although Lu Xiulin was in the thief camp, he had the Song people in his heart. When the thief abused the people, Lu Xiulin often made preservation. His family was young and was a people under the thief ruled by the thief. However, he had not set up a concubine in Luzhou for many years and his character was not too bad. Hong Hao thought about it repeatedly. Finally, he decided to let him go and leave him to serve the Song people in Luzhou. Lu Xiulin died by his own deeds, but he knew that such a change would happen. He knelt down and cried in front of Hong Hao: "The student has been learning the books of sages since he was a child, but he was burdened by his family's life and death. He could not be fully loyal. It is really a disgrace. Although he has been left under the sword of his master, he has his life and life. What kind of face is there in the world?"

Hong Hao said seriously: "The prefect Lu was wrong. It was not me who wanted to save you. It was because the ancient sages saved you. The people of Luzhou saved you, and you saved your own life. Others could not help you. The clear and clear sky should not be deceived. There will be gods three feet high, and good and evil will be rewarded in the end. Is there no cause and effect? ​​If I had not read the books of sages and wise men and women, how could I have the fruit of today? From then on, I will die and live, and do not complain and give up on myself in the present life. I must do useful things. Luzhou Prefecture governs, and everything is waiting for development. At present, there are three major things: nourishing the people, spring farming, and fighting against the Jin Dynasty. I still have to use your help. Are you willing?"

When Lu Xiulin heard this, he realized that he kowtowed countless times. When he got up, he had wiped away the tears and stood beside Hong Hao. He was like an affiliated official. Hong Hao nodded secretly. Since then, the two discussed the affairs of state governance in detail. Lu Xiulin is indeed far superior to Gao Lin, Wang Lan, Yue Lei and others in this regard, Luzhou Prefecture City and surrounding counties. He knew it as if he were right. At that moment, Hong Hao handed over the major defense matters to Yue Lei. Gao Lin took the lead in handling it, but he closely consulted with Lu Xiulin on comforting the people and spring farming.

Although Yang Zaixing did not personally come to Luzhou to participate in this battle, Jincheng City dispatched tens of thousands of elite troops, which was something that had never happened since Zezhou. Yang Zaixing led the remaining troops to use firearms to closely monitor the movements of the surrounding cities, especially the whereabouts of the Han army brigade in Li Qiong, but he kept getting rewards from various semicolons, saying that they were all unchanged. Seeing that in late April, Zezhou and Luzhou were as stable as Taishan, Yang Zaixing felt relieved, but did not hang the "Yang" flag in Luzhou Prefecture. Yue Lei was in charge of Luzhou, and it was reasonable to hang the "Yue" flag. So he arranged all matters of spring farming with confidence, including more than a thousand acres of land.

The terrain is relatively high and water-deficient. Those who have produced few grains in history have arranged to grow cotton this year. In addition, after getting the Luzhou Prefecture Treasury, they bought some food and grass from Jiangnan, and started the winemaking industry as scheduled. Yang Zaixing's later generations are in Luzhou, Sichuan, and he has heard of the production processes of Luzhou Laojiao and Langjiu. All the fermentation and distillation techniques are in accordance with the rules of later generations, but they just laughed in their hearts: If the old Jincheng wine was preserved for later generations, I am afraid that the "1573" brand of Luzhou Laojiao will no longer be valuable? The signboard that Jincheng Laojiu could write at that time could be written with "1144", which would be much older!

But there is no free lunch in the world! The fall of Luzhou is not a small matter. Although it has been two years since the fall of Zezhou, the news still alarmed the north and south. When we went to the capital, Wu Shu was in a difficult situation and felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. On the second day of the fifth month of the fourth year of the Emperor's reign, Wanyan Tan was finally called to the palace to discuss matters. At this time, the news from the Jincheng business had already been rumored to the capital. It was said that the bandits in Taihang were fleeing Yue Lei as the leader, and they took it.

Luzhou Prefecture echoed Yang Zaixing. Balihu had already run away less than ten miles outside Shangjing, but he heard the cavalry of Shangjing discussing his miserable defeat. A young soldier said, "Sabayong was the capital, and his strength was able to strait the mountains. How could he know that he had a younger brother like this! If he knew about it under the spring, he would probably jump out and kill people! Temu Bojin, there will be no more Shangjing!"

The tiger in the inner tiger was very upset, and despite the dissuasion of the followers, he drew his sword and committed suicide. When Wu Shu and Wanyan Tan heard the news, they were very regretful. They did not care about the crime of the tiger in the inner tiger and were promoted to bury, saying that they would not lose their reputation as a good Jurchen hero!

"Prime Minister, what kind of person is Yang Zaixing?" Wanyan Tan looked unkind and drove all the attendants in the palace. He faced Wu Shu alone, but he was still hungover and had a black circle around his eyes and a blue-white face. He was still the kind of young man who was full of energy three years ago? However, his long-term majesty naturally increased, but he became a little more hostile, which made Wu Shu feel terrified and dared not ignore this nephew again.

"Your Majesty, Yang Zaixing is a talented general who has never been born in the world. On the battlefield, he regards thousands of horses and thousands of troops as if nothing is available. Those who attack must be taken, and those who deserve it will be killed. On that day, the battle between Yingchang was almost inevitable. Yang Nanman was not the name of the "sharp gun" that he had luckily obtained." Wu Shu replied honestly.

"In this way, it's just a single man. How can I make me so embarrassed? Does the Prime Minister have a good idea to teach me?" Wanyan Dan sat on the imperial chair, slumped, ignorant, and looked bored. For more than half a year, facing the power of Pei Man, no one in the harem has dared to get close to Wanyan Dan, so he made him travel to the drunken land for days and ignored the government affairs. His expression was already quite unreasonable. Wu Shu's heart twitched and a little hurt.

"Your Majesty, the disaster of the Great Jin Dynasty is not Yang Zaixing. Now the Mongolian tribes are disturbing each other day, and the power of the Great Jin Dynasty is difficult to recover. If you can be safe for ten years and do not raise any war, a million households in Da Jin will grow up. At that time, there would be 100,000 Jurchen cavalry, and even more good horses. Where can I go in the world? Why is there a Zezhou mansion? Your Majesty is in his prime, and the Great Jin Dynasty is still under the control of Your Majesty. Old ministers and others follow Taizu to expand their territory. However, they should be handed over to a generation of talented and strategic leaders to govern it. Your Majesty should not underestimate himself and attack the dragon body. Please take care of the Great Jin Dynasty!" Wu Shu said this. He couldn't help but kneel down.

Wushu has been in charge of the government affairs in Shangjing in the past two years. On the one hand, he greatly adjusted the scale left by the past Zong Gan, Zong Yin, Zong Han and others, and eliminated the old Han officials, especially the Han officials who moved from Liu Yu's pseudo-Qi. At the same time, he was able to take advantage of the "new Han officials" to support his own team. On the other hand, he saw Wanyan Dan losing his ambitions and ignored the government affairs. He was afraid that he would mislead his ancestors' great cause, so he did have the "unnecessary" flavor. But he knew whether it was causing Wanyan Dan to be unhappy for this, and even more

Are you unwilling to pay attention to the government? After two years of hard work, Wu Shu already knew that his health was not as good as before. It was really the late age when destiny was approaching. How could he compete with Wanyan Dan and Yang Zaixing for a day? He did not care about his hard work and was only willing to lay a solid foundation for the Dajin. Whether he immigrated to Hebei or urged the Song people from Jiangnan to go north and ordered the intermarriage of all tribes. It was all a move that Hebei's Dajin was as stable as a rock, but these actions. How many people in the world know it?

Wanyan Tan saw that the emperor's uncle who was on the usual weight in the capital knelt down to him, and knew that his actions of Meng Lang had indeed hurt the emperor's uncle's heart. In the capital, there were many royal families who could rebel. He could hold heavy troops but had no intention of rebelling. I am afraid that this emperor's uncle is an exception. In addition to maintaining the Taizu system, he was more afraid of maintaining the Jin Dynasty's country and not splitting. But no matter what, in his current words and deeds, his sincere intention was still on his nephew. He was now cheering up and asked Wu Shu: "Uncle thought that this Luzhou incident had much to do with Yang Zaixing?"

When Wu Shu heard this, he heard Wan Yan Tan call himself the "Emperor Uncle", and he suddenly choked up his throat. After a while, he calmed down his feelings and solemnly replied: "Yang Zaixing occupied Jincheng, traded north and south, and accumulated food and grass. His goal was not small, but he was trapped in Zezhou and could not do anything. He was eager to set up another cave to serve as a horn to protect his safety. It is not known that the bandits of Taihang Mountain took Yue Fei as the banner, but it was not short, but they had no movement for a long time. Now they raised the banner of Yue's family, or they were not without the meaning of Yang Zaixing. The old minister thought that both were possible, or both." Although Wu Shu had not arrived in Taihang, the analysis of the details was as if he had seen Yang Zaixing.

"Since Yang Zaixing has a different ambition, why didn't the emperor dissuade him when I appointed him as the governor of Zezhou Prefecture?"

Wanyan Tan's words were a bit unpleasant, and Wushu would certainly not take it lightly: "Your Majesty, Yang Zaixing has his own plans, but the big gold has difficulties. The key point is in time: Yang Zaixing wants to fulfill his ambition, but it must be a ten-year achievement. If the big gold has a ten-year rest, how could he be afraid of Yang Zaixing? At that time, he would have to force his troops to Jiangnan to come to Lin'an to ask for punishment. How could he care about the disaster of scabies? Now that Jincheng merchants are trading north and south, even if Yang Zaixing has accumulated savings, he will only add some military funds to our big gold. What's more, the Jincheng merchants have increased the annual income to the big gold, and even more so than tribute gold and silk in the Jiangnan year. Isn't it a favor to both others and oneself?"

After hearing this, Wanyan Tan felt a little relieved, but said angrily: "Although this Luzhou is like a useless person, if it is abandoned, it will only ruin the reputation of the Great Jin. Yue Lei’s little thief, how can I calm my hatred if I don’t kill it?"

Seeing that Wanyan Tan was slightly cheered up, Wu Shu comforted her heart and said, "If hatred and humiliation can make the Emperor of the Great Jin wake up, and if he loses a few more prefectures, how can he lose the Dajin?" But he did not dare to speak like this, and of course he had to protect Wanyan Tan's face: "Your Majesty, Yue Lei, a son of Huangkou, is just a face for the bandits of Taihang Mountains. If he uses the strategy of Yang Zaixing, it is inappropriate. It is not easy to attack Yang Zaixing at the moment, so it is better to temporarily recruit peace. And order Yang Zaixing to send troops to restore Luzhou: If he obeys the order, he will violate the thieves of Taihang and conquer our Dajin under the jurisdiction of Dajin. If he does not send troops, he will correct his crimes and issue an imperial edict to the world to discuss it with the opposition, suspend the transactions in Jinzhou, and detain people in various parts. This is the foolish opinion of the old minister, but Your Majesty will punish him."

After hearing this, Wanyan Fang laughed bitterly several times, Wu Shu felt very uneasy, but Wanyan Fang said helplessly: "The world of Dajin is actually relying on thieves to attack the thieves. The king's army cannot enter the Xiazhou Prefecture. Isn't it shameful? Why can't I conquer people when I treat Hebei well? Isn't it because I was a serious killing in my early years? The talents of Jiangnan fled for more than half of them. Dajin was so unstoppable? Prime Minister, when will the people who are far away come to surrender and defeat others without fighting?"

Wu Shu lowered his head and said in his heart: "Your Majesty, how stupid! The Song Dynasty official system is a good thing. Only the way to win people with virtue is not something that can be learned by Jurchens. In the eyes of the Han people, our clan is just barbarians, so how can the world be orthodox! If there were no more killing on the ground in Hebei, how could a mere tens of thousands of Jurchens be able to control tens of millions of Han people? Now the old ministers are mixed with the clans, hoping that he will slightly bridge the difference between the clans and not kill all the Jurchens when the Han people are rising, which is a great kindness for their descendants! How dare you think of defeating others without fighting? Could it be that you tell the benevolence, righteousness and morality of the Jin Dynasty to those Confucian ministers in Jiangnan? A joke!"

But I knew Wanyan Tan must also know that this was just like talking in a sleep. I couldn't be honest and it would be fine if everyone didn't care. At the moment, the king and his ministers dispersed silently, and Wu Shu would draw up a detailed strategy and not mention it.

In early June, Yang Zaixing received the envoy of Shangjing Wushu in the court outside Jincheng. He also considered the friendship of the landlord. He invited the visitor to have a hot pot and opened the book beside the pot. The envoy was frightened, afraid that the letter would fall into the pot and cook it into soup. Fortunately, Yang Zaixing had not failed. Wushu's book said: "Now, he will order all the troops in Zezhou Prefecture to send troops to restore Luzhou to the Taihang Mountains. We will not let down the great Jin Enyi for several years. If there is any mistake, it will be a laugh in the world. And it will be a disaster for the Shangshang in Hebei. Only the general plans it!"

Yang Zaixing laughed and said, "What's the problem? You only need to agree to a certain family: It is not easy for a Jincheng Erlang to train. If there is any loss, you still need to make up for it in Luzhou Prefecture and report it to your prime minister. Luzhou Prefecture will be taken by a certain family. It is only necessary to let the family manage it for a few years, and then hand it over to the court when the people's customs are calmer!"

The envoy was sweating all over, but he didn't dare to reply a word, so he had to return to the capital as it was. Wu Shu smiled when he heard the news: "I had known that you had this plan, but I didn't know that I had a backup plan."
