Chapter 93 What a traitor

Yangzhou, Yangzi Bridge.▲∴

Hundreds of flags were waving, and above each flag, somehow there were bloodstains and black smoke marks. These were the flags of the generals of the Song army who participated in the Battle of Yangzi Bridge. Looking at these flags, you can probably imagine how turbulent and tragic the battle yesterday was.

Although the Song army used two military and national weapons, such as stone generators and thunder in this battle, there was also a little demon Li Cuixian who kept fooling Ye Liugan. However, the battle process was still extremely difficult and the injuries of the participating armies were quite amazing. In particular, the elite soldiers of the Xiongsheng Army were either killed in battle or injured, and had been completely destroyed. The other armies also consumed huge amounts of money... They really sacrificed their lives to fight to the death. Finally, under the wise command of the Privy Councilor Jia Sidao, they defeated the 100,000 Beilu army and obtained at least 5,000 beheads. The true Tartars' head was no less than 1,300, including the half-charred head of Ye Liugan, the Marshal of the Northern Ludu, and as for the capture, there were countless. It was another unprecedented victory!

The above are the caliber of the Lianghuai Fushiyao report the victory... Of course, the little witch cannot be told to Zhao Yun, the official of the Song Dynasty.

Although the decisive battle to repel Mongolia happened yesterday, the pursuit, sweeping war, clearing the battlefield, gathering troops and other matters after the decisive battle were busy until this afternoon. During this period, Jia Sidao was in the central army tent on the canal, handling military affairs at any time, without leaving. It was not until the evening of November 23 that he led tens of thousands of triumphal troops to escort prisoners of war, seized, and dozens of heads loaded by large trucks, headed towards the Yangziqiao Castle.

...

Heavy snow fell, falling on Jia Sidao's cloak. In a short while, the treacherous minister's shoulders were covered with snowflakes. The servant who was following the horse wanted to help him clean up, but was stopped by the treacherous minister. The temperature dropped quickly, the cold wind blew, and ice ridges formed on the treacherous minister's beard. This is the image of a generation of treacherous minister Jia Sidao when he entered the city triumphantly after the victory of Yangzi Bridge.

Although the Yangzi Bridge is only an affiliated town in Yangzhou, it is close to the Yangtze River and close to the canal, with very convenient transportation and relatively safe geographical location, so it has developed very prosperously, no less than any prefecture city in the Huaihe River, or even not under Yangzhou!

When Jia Sidao led his troops into the city, the city of Yangziqiao was brightly lit, with torches and lanterns burning, illuminating the surroundings of the north gate of Yangziqiao. Jiang Cai, who was stationed in Yangziqiao, and Dong Songchen, the eunuch who was appointed as the envoy of the Baokang Army, brought officials and gentry from Yangziqiao City to welcome him. On the streets in the city, there were also soldiers of Wu Rui's army guarding each other for five steps, ten steps, and the streets were surrounded by Jia Sidao, a treacherous minister who welcomed the triumphant arrival.

Although Jia Sidao was treacherous in history books, the people of the two Huai Rivers had not read the "History of Song" by Tutuo Alutu at this time. They only knew that Jia Sidao personally led tens of thousands of troops to aid, and fought hard with the Mongolian army north of Yangzi Bridge for a day, and finally won a great victory! The sound of shouts, trumpets, golden drums and earth-shaking explosions on the battlefield swept across like a flood, which made the soldiers and civilians in Yangzi Bridge City worried for a long time. Many people even prepared the ropes for hanging, and the Song army won a great victory in the end. Jia Sidao was really like a life-saving benefactor, how could they not be grateful?

"A certain Dong Songchen He Dasan (Jia Sidao was sent by the assistant minister to the political affairs) won a great victory!" Dong Songchen, who was pale and had no need to be looked grateful at this moment. Seeing Jia Sidao sitting on the horse, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to worship. Where was there any sound of "Dong Yanluo" in Lin'an?

Jia Sidao immediately started to take action, as if he had returned the courtesy, and then turned over and dismounted cleanly and laughed at Dong Songchen: "Dong Chengxuan, you are really here. Yesterday, a battle was dark and dark, but you have witnessed it with your own eyes. How about it? But it is much more satisfying than what the storyteller in Lin'an Wazi said?"

As he spoke, the treacherous minister pointed to the big carts with human heads behind him with great prides and said in a deep voice: "Five, two hundred and fourteen heads! There are Tartars, the Northern Barbarian Han Army, and the head of Yeliugan, the Marshal of the Northern Barbarian Capital. They are all here. Chengxuan might as well test them together!"

Jia Sidao's tone can only be described as stiff and cold, with a hint of hostility! Dong Songchen's forehead suddenly became cold and sweating. If someone else talked to him like this, he would be unhappy and could still find a way to take revenge on his face.

However, Jia Sidao is not an ordinary civil servant! He is the brother-in-law of the current emperor Zhao Yun. Although Emperor Zhao's favorite Concubine Jia has passed away for many years, no one in the court knows the emperor's favor for Jia Sidao? What makes Dong Songchen even more overwhelmed is that Jia Sidao really defeated the Mongols! Without any moisture, he still went to the front line to command the tens of thousands of troops to fight the mortal Northern Lu for one day, and also killed the Northern Lu Marshal Ye Liu Gan!

No one can hide such great achievements without reporting them. Even the right prime minister and Privy Councilor Ding Daquan could not suppress them. Ding Daquan was an ally of Dong Songchen in the court... Originally, Ding Daquan had already made plans with Dong Songchen, and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to test his military achievements to block his pace of worshipping the prime minister.

Who knew that Jia Sidao showed his power and raided the Mongolian marshal who commanded the army to invade Lianghuai. Dong Songchen would not dare to erase such credits no matter what - this was the credit that more than 100,000 soldiers in Lianghuai used their lives. If Dong Songchen dared to erase, these arrogant soldiers would dare to mutiny. At that time, the official family would have to use his head to calm the public's anger!

Such great achievements cannot be erased, and Jia Sidao's pace of becoming prime minister cannot be stopped! It won't take long before Jia Sidao will go to Jinghu with the title of Right Prime Minister and Privy Councilor, and Sichuan will be in charge of Sichuan. When Jia Sidao's affairs are in Jinghu and Sichuan, he should officially enter the Zhengshi Hall. With his great military achievements and the favor of the Song Dynasty officials, Ding Daquan will probably be a matter of time to dismiss the prime minister! Dong Songchen, the original official, is an eunuch of Baokang Military Minister Xuan Envoy, and he is a military minister under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council. If Jia Sidao enters the Political Bureau and Privy Councilor, then Dong Songchen will be under the jurisdiction of Jia treacherous minister. How Jia Sidao will take charge of the law at that time depends on Dong Songchen's current performance...

Why didn’t Dong Songchen understand these things? He waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile: “Da Gan said that 5,214 heads are 5,214. What’s the test?”

Jia Sidao stood there with a expressionless face, motionless.

Dong Songchen's heart was in his throat, but he just looked at Jia Sidao anxiously.

Jia Sidao suddenly burst into laughter, reached out to pat Dong Songchen, and said with a smile: "Chengxuan, I haven't seen you for a long time. Let's go to the city to drink a few drinks, and then talk about the scenery of Lin'an with a certain family. The prosperity of Lin'an... I missed someone so much! Chengxuan has to talk to someone!"

Dong Songchen felt that a human heart was about to pop out of his throat. Jia Sidao mentioned the scenery of Lin'an, which must be meaningful - this person must be dissatisfied with what he did in Lin'an...
