Gao Qiu is indeed a traitor!

It seems that "Water Margin" did not wrong him. Although his sons taught him quite the rules and would not steal Lin Chong's wife. However, he himself embarked on the path of selling the country and seeking glory!

After receiving Ji Yi's secret letter, Wu Haogu knew that he and Gao Qiu were no longer the same people.

"Mr. Xiangshan, Brother Ximen, Dalang, Old Zhao, Second Brother Zhang, Zhongfu, Teacher Lin, Silang, what do you think?"

Wu Haogu's eyes were full of worrying about the country and the people, and he was just looking at Ji Yi's letters on the desk. The few cups of fragrant tea on the table had long disappeared.

There was silence in the room, and it was Murong Wangyou who broke the silence for a while: "Jingsen, if Gao Qiu could really give Yelu Yanxi a million-year-old monies, Yelu Yanxi would definitely withdraw his troops. The current situation of the Liao soldiers is much different from the time of the Chengyuan Alliance. It can earn millions and let us retreat from Yanjing City. Why not? But can we really retreat? If we take a step back, we will be in the abyss!"

Yes, a step back is the "Fengbo Pavilion" and the "bright sun". Even if Zhao Ji still remembers his old love, he is probably drinking chicken soup in the Censorate Prison!

What are you doing for years? Don’t you want Zhao Ji to go to Xue Township, Northeast China but have a life of traitor? But Zhao Ji and Gao Qiu, a pair of tyrants, are all good, and they only want to sell the country and seek honor. It’s really disappointing.

They thought they could coax Yelu Yanxi to retreat by spending one million yuan, and then rest assured?

Go dreaming!

The Great Liao Kingdom was already in the early disintegration by its own troubles! Zhang Zhifeng, the secret envoy who incited the birth of Jurchens to raise the flag to rebel, had already joined Wanyan Zong, and Wanyan Zongwang set out to Liaodong together.

Guo Yaoshi, the representative of the Bohai pirates in Liaodong, also arrived in Tianjin a few days ago and brought a handwritten letter from Guangmingjun. The letter proposed to form an alliance with the Song Dynasty and jointly fight against Liao.

The secret envoy of Ma Renwang also arrived in Tianjin Prefecture yesterday, bringing news that Ma Renwang would become the commander-in-chief of Liaodong Road and the governor of the Fengguo Army in Chenzhou.

It seems that it won't take too long. The Tokyo Road of Liao Kingdom will give birth to the Jurchens, the Bohai Kingdom, the Ma Family Army, the Great Liao Kingdom and his own loyal ministers of the Song Dynasty will play in the game, which is more lively than a table of mahjong!

If you didn't participate in it yourself, it would take ten years for the Jurchens to wipe out all the hills, unify Liaodong, and then enter the pass.

What should Zhao Ji and Gao Qiu do if they are foolish monarchs and treacherous ministers? Will they go to Xuexiang to settle down together?

Thinking of this, Wu Haogu's eyes shot towards the general army like lightning. Ma Zheng shook his head and said, "Jing Zheng, you can't retreat! The great clans of Yan, heroes outside the pass, and heroes from the north of the desert have all sharpened their swords. They have no turning back. Even if we retreat, they will definitely rise up. The combat power of the Liao soldiers is no longer as strong as before, and they can't resist the siege of heroes. If our dynasty cannot take the opportunity to take back Yan and rely on the gates of other countries, and wait until the new master of the north is born, the chaos will affect the Central Plains!"

It's also for the country and the people! It's okay...

Wu Haogu turned his gaze to Ximen Anguo again. Ximen Qing's cousin only said one sentence: "Jingshuai, we all listen to you! Whoever dares to be unfavorable to Jieshuai, we will fight them!"

This is what the confidant should do!

Wu Haogu nodded in praise.

Zhang Xizai said: "Jingshuai, most of the people in Tianjin who are not in the same heart as you have run away. The rest are willing to follow, and they have to follow them."

Now the wealthy merchants in Tianjin are actually divided into hierarchies. The top-level ones are the powerful and wealthy families of the Song and Liao countries. However, they rarely directly participate in more complex businesses. They usually do real estate and make money by collecting rent and real estate value-added. Those who live in the middle are the businessmen who are truly engaged in business, including self-operated ones and agents of the powerful and wealthy families.

Due to the continued Song and Liao War, a considerable number of the children of the powerful and wealthy sects in the Song Dynasty in Tianjin were withdrawn to the safe Jingdong Market. Those who were left were their agents, and most of these people were either closely related to the empirical school or participated in Wu Haogu's arms business. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were on the pirate ship.

"Very good!" Wu Haogu looked at Zhang Xizai, who had just taken over as the governor of Tianjin Municipal Government, "Everyone who follows us will get benefits!"

Su Dalang said: "Jingshou doesn't have to worry about money, as Dali and Zhang's second brother plan."

Su Dalang's current position is the manager of the Republic Bank and the manager of the Tianjin Bank, and he controls the economic lifeline of Tianjin Commercial City.

In addition, according to Wu Haogu's order, all income and expenditures of Sanfoqi Maritime Service must be taken to Tianjin Bank.

In other words, Tianjin Bank can at any time intercept the huge income obtained by Sanfoqi Maritime Service from the road blocking toll business.

Lin Chong also said: "Jie Shuai, most of the nails, the darkrooms have been mastered and can be pulled out at any time!"

"Bao!" Wu Haogu said coldly.

The so-called nails are of course the Imperial City Department, the Three Yamen, the Du Junmai Department, and the Privy Council. In the past ten years, the yamen have been buried in Tianjin one after another. However, these Yamen are not serious spy agencies, with low efficiency and poor quality of spy agents. What's more troublesome is that among the confidential officials and officials in these Yamen, there are always people who are tempted by money. Therefore, all the list of spy agents is in Lin Chong's pocket.

The so-called "pull" does not mean that all of them are cut off by iron-blooded means. The key to spy work is not the word "satisfaction", but the word "wisdom". First fight wits, then fight courage. Turn the nails buried by the opponent into your own nails, and let those nails come online without any notice of accepting wrong information, that is the real master.

Otherwise, it will be very good to chop people. After chopping, the opponent will find and plug the loopholes and send out new nails. It will not be easy to chop again at that time.

"Jingshuai," Zhao Jiaren made a suggestion at this time, "The most important thing is to take down Yanjing City as soon as possible. Only by taking down Yanjing City can Jieshuai have more land to reward the soldiers below! The soldiers who get the land are Jieshuai's true confidant, and their interests can be tied to Jieshuai!

Moreover, after taking over Yanjing, the powerful people of Yan land would only follow the leader of the Jieshuai horse, and only then could the Jieshuai use the Jiuzhou of Yan land to turn them into winged minions!

In the end, if the land of Yan was taken down, the Song and Liao dynasties would never end! As long as the country of Liao was not destroyed, the court would coax the powerful and powerful men in Yan, and the general would not be afraid of anything.

So taking over Yanjing is the foundation of the Jieshou!”

In Wu Haogu's group, Murong Wangyou is a similar military advisor; Zhao Zhongge, Murong Wei, Ximen Anguo, Hu Yanqing and Ma Zheng are all generals; Zhang Xizai, Su Dalang, Huang Silang, Hua Manshan, Wu Side, Wu Sihai, He Tianran and others are technical bureaucrats; Lin Chong is the spy leader; while Zhao Jiaren is a figure like an imperial division. His strategy is not effective on the battlefield and cannot be used to deal with the Liao Kingdom, but he knows how to deal with the Song Dynasty and how to formulate rules that can unite the Wu Haogu's group.

In the view of Zhao Jiaren, who is familiar with ancient and modern classics, it is impossible to build a truly lasting military group by relying on money alone. Relying on the school, it is better to use the friendship between teachers and students to unite people than simply spending money, but it is still not enough.

If you want to truly unite the group and maintain it for a long time, you still have to let the backbone of the group get a certain amount of industry. Mencius said that those who have constant property have perseverance, while those who have no permanent property have no perseverance! If you want everyone to have perseverance, you must have permanent property! And the most typical permanent property is of course land and real estate.

The real estate and citizen household registration in Tianjin are of course very attractive, but the land in Tianjin Prefecture and Yanshan Prefecture is also coveted. Now the farmland in Tianjin Prefecture has almost been divided, but it only meets the part of the demand for land by the core knights and officers (of course, the demand for land is unlimited). But there are many empty-handed soldiers below, many utility soldiers who are eager to change their positions and become knights, and a group of children who have no inheritance rights for the knights. If Wu Haogu cannot meet their demand for land and real estate, can we expect them to be loyal? Wu Haogu does not have such charm!

To meet their land requirements, Wu Haogu had to take over Xijin Prefecture and even acquire more land from the Liao Kingdom in the future.

If the court wants to make peace with the Liao Kingdom and wants to return the land of Yanshan Prefecture to the Liao Kingdom, haha... seize the land and kill the parents! Wu Haogu's subordinates are all filial sons, so why don't they fight to the death then?

"Silang!" Wu Haogu looked at Huang Zhisheng.

Huang Zhisheng immediately understood, "Jingshuai, please take a trip to Shamen Island and bring back the magic weapon that broke the city."

"Okay, it's time to use it!" Wu Haogu nodded, "Send you a sailing warship, you must go and go quickly, and the Border River will be frozen if it's too late."

...

"Your Majesty, Gao Qiu's army is likely to cross the Yellow River."

In Xiangzhou, the north bank of Tangshui, and within the imperial tent of the Emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty, Yelu Yanxi received a piece of news that made him a little confused.

"It's very likely?" Yelu Yanxi was stunned.

Xiao Fengxian, the Privy Councilor of the Northern Court and the Imperial Camp General Manager, said: "Your Majesty, the long-distance horses we sent to around Julu County have encountered the Song army's iron cavalry team, all of which are 50 and 100. They are half-fitted, have no armor, and hold long spears and bows and arrows. They can both ride and shoot and charge in groups. Moreover, their horses are good, and they are all good horses in the Western Regions. Our people are not opponents, so it is difficult to detect information."

It turned out that Gao Qiu sent cavalry to clean up the Liao people's far-block horses. He brought not many cavalry from Lingzhou, but he had strong combat power and very good equipment. Not only did he have wart armor (produced in Lingzhou), but he also had good horses (Xiji horses) introduced from Beiting (Gaochang) and Saiye. Although he could not compare with the Tianjin knights equipped with Tianjin horses, he was much better than the Liao army's far-block horses using Khitan horses.

Therefore, as soon as Gao Qiu's 2,000 elite cavalry crossed the Yellow River, they cleared the Liao Kingdom's far-distance horses between the mainland and the Yellow River.

However, Gao Qiu's cavalry was limited after all, and he could only block the actions of his own army. It was impossible to reconnaise and explore the reality of the Liao army.
