Chapter 489 Conquering Gold with Virtue
The people in the north were killed so much that the bodies were everywhere, nine out of ten rooms were empty, and the women were even more miserable, as if they were in purgatory on earth.
Just when the people in the northern Song Dynasty were desperate, and when the Jin people fantasized about entering Bianjing to burn, kill and loot, Zhang Shuye stood up.
Using the fortifications built by Jiang Chen in that year, he implemented a strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields in Dongping, Xiqing and Puzhou, and directly blocked the progress of the Jin people's Eastern Route Army.
Facing the messenger sent by Tong Guan to make him surrender, Zhang Shuye chopped his head without hesitation!
He immediately wrote to the court, saying that Tong Guan had surrendered to the Jin people and became a traitor. The two Jin troops under the guise of helping, actually had the intention to destroy Song, and let the court wake up and prevent the people in advance.
As soon as this news came out, people from the north fled with their families, hoping to get Zhang Shuye's protection.
Then, these people were transported overseas, causing a desolate scene in the north to appear thousands of miles away in a short time, and the Jin people who searched for the beautiful women of the Song Dynasty were stunned;
In addition, some people fled to Bianjing. With their arrival, the various evil deeds of the Jin people and rumors of their children traitors and harming the people were also confirmed.
The people of Bianjing were so angry that they were in a riot and gathered outside the palace gate to demand the killing of the traitors!
Some people even scolded Cai Jing and Yansheng Gong Kong Jie, shouting the slogan "clear the king, kill Cai Jing, and kill Kong Jie."
"It's unreasonable! It's unreasonable!"
"Zhang Shuye is rebelling, he is rebelling like Wang Shunchen!"
"Who gave him the courage to start a war against the Jin people without asking for instructions?"
"Does these stupid people not understand what the words of saints mean and what the overall situation is? "
Yansheng Gong Kong Jie and the civil servants of the Confucian clan jumped and scolded each other, and they were all panicked.
Cai Jing was so angry that his face turned black. He looked at Zhao Huan unhappily and said, "Official family, you had to protect Zhang Shuye at the beginning. He thought that if you hold his little family in your hands, you could control the army through him.
Now that he openly disobeys the will of the court and goes to war with the Jin people without authorization, are you satisfied?"
"I……"
Zhao Huan looked ugly and glared at Cai Jing and said, "Is the Grand Master blaming me? If Tong Guan hadn't been incompetent, how could the court fall into such an embarrassing situation?"
"snort!"
Cai Tao was angry when he heard this, and looked at Zhao Huan coldly and said, "If it weren't for the official family, you always like to make some self-righteous little abacus.
Wang Shunchen and Zhang Shuye have been staying in prison for a long time! Where can I get the chance to rebel?
They did not rebel, and Tong Guan had already bought Yan Di back, so how could there be so many disasters?"
"You... dare to talk to me like this? Do you Cai family still treat me as an official?"
Zhao Huan was shocked and angry, and slapped the table and stood up.
"Okay! Now isn't the time to argue!"
Cai Jing glared at Cai Tao, then skipped Zhao Huan and ordered directly: "Immediately take Zhang Shuye's small arrest and imprisonment! Eight hundred miles of urgent orders to Zhang Shuye, and he ordered him to open the city to surrender immediately, otherwise he will be killed!"
"The Grand Tutor is wise!"
"In this way, the Jin people will definitely be able to feel the sincerity of the court! This is in line with the teachings of the saints who won people with virtue!"
Kong Jie and others flattered loudly.
Today, the Kong family has long become Cai Jing's lackey.
Um-
Seeing this, Qin Hui couldn't help it. After glanced at Kong Jie with contempt, he said carefully: "Taishou, once Zhang Shuye surrenders, will the Jin people go straight to the city of Bianjing? What if they really have the intention to destroy my Song Dynasty..."
"I'm so worried!"
Cai Jing smiled dismissively and said, "Tong Guan has brought back a handwritten letter from Wanyan Zongwang, the second prince of the Jin Kingdom!
Wanyan Zongwang said in the letter that he came here this time because he was worried that the beautiful craftsmen we offered and the money we bought in Yan land would be robbed by the remnants of the Limen again, so he planned to come here to escort himself, and it would definitely not be detrimental to my Song Dynasty!"
"It turns out that the Grand Master has already made a decision! He will feel at ease when he gets the official!"
Qin Hui smiled at Cai Jing.
But he shook his head in his heart, thinking that Cai Jing would rather believe that the sows could climb trees than believe that they would not be able to climb a sow.
But he also knew that Cai Jing and others had been forced to the edge of the cliff by Jiang Chen. They not only lost control of Jiangnan, but also lost the people's hearts, and they had no confidence to offend the Jin people and start a war with the Jin people.
Because these people have to keep their troops in Bianjing to guard against Jiangnan Limen and Jiang Chen!
So, after thinking of Jiang Chen's secret letter, he spoke again: "Tao Shi, the situation is special now, and it is impossible to use the two armies of Cao Sheng and Zong Ze to pacify Jiangnan.
In order to prevent problems before they happen, it is better to choose a large army and let them return to Beijing to garrison quickly?"
"Yeah, it's not bad! Why don't we let Cao Sheng lead his army back to Beijing?"
Cai Tao nodded and agreed to Qin Hui's suggestion.
"The Cao family and Jiang Chen have a grudge against him to destroy the family, so they will definitely not turn to the Li family. It is indeed more suitable than Zong Ze!"
Cai Jing agreed after thinking for a moment.
