Chapter 146 Cause and Effect
Know yourself and know the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles;
Do not know the enemy but know yourself, one wins and one loses;
I don't know the enemy and I don't know myself, there is nothing to say, every battle will be fatal.

Song Guo quickly entered the north of Huaihe River when Jin Guo didn't react, and caught the opponent by surprise.

By the time Liu Bang spent a lot of time building many fortifications in Yingzhou, the Song State had already reached the second step towards the Jin State. Wanyan Wushu has become a game of tricks.

To be honest, what Liu Bang never figured out was that even if Zhao Shicheng was so courageous, even if he really colluded with the Jinren, what is the basis of Wanyan Wushu, and what is the basis of Zhao Shicheng?
Lin'an is almost an empty city without soldiers and horses. This is obviously a trap with a fatal temptation... People with a slightly normal mind, such as Xiang Guangshi, can see it, but these people really can't see it?

On the first day of the 12 Lunar New Year in Shaoxing, all questions were answered.

8 people came out of Yingzhou City, coming from four directions. Except for the south, the other three places were the same as before... The Jin people didn't think about fighting at all. When the Song army advanced, they took a step back. When the Song army advanced a hundred miles, they retreated a hundred miles.

Except to the south.

The news from the scouts before was that the main force of the Jin people should be in the south. The emperor was happy for a while when he first heard the news. What does this mean?The opposite came from the north, but put the main force in the south, which shows that they did not intend to leave a way for Yingzhou to retreat, and that they came to besiege the city for real.

But now, that's clearly not the case.

They don't have 50 people, not even 20, and they don't even know if [-] is enough. Except for some golden men who have a little fighting power under the banner of the Heshilie family, which adds some obstacles to everyone, the rest Yes, whether it was the Jin Han army or the Jin Liao army, or even people from various tribes in the grassland, under the might of the Song army, they almost collapsed and collapsed.

When Heshi Lie Zhining found out that the opposite person was not someone with a vain name, the Heshilie family had already lost hundreds of corpses in Yingzhou City, so he gave the most correct order in the fastest time:
Withdraw first.

Don't go head-to-head with the opponent, this is what the fourth prince told him before, since they want to go out, let them go out.

When the Song army was gone, the scouts sent by Zhi Ning said that it was when these people crossed the river directly...

The normally calm General of the Kingdom of Jin also had to get a little excited.

People from Song Dynasty...is this another time they gave up Yingzhou?

That's it, that's it!
Otherwise, they have no reason not to pursue him, and there is no reason to cross the Huai River directly.

Although he didn't know the purpose of the fourth prince asking him to put on a pose, he knew that the fourth prince was the number one general in the world, and he had never been defeated in battle for many years. reason.

For example, buy some time for someone.

Something happened in the Southern Dynasties.

The cause and effect here is not difficult to speculate, although I don't know what exactly happened, but Zhining has a wolf-like sense of smell on the battlefield... For example, they caught those with a very hard mouth, who came from the south and wanted to enter Yingzhou people who go.

He knew that his chance had come.

Yingzhou, the battleground between the Song and Jin Dynasties, was right in front of him.

How many people did Zhang Jun have, how many people did Liu Qi have, and how many people there were in the entire Southern Dynasty. Although Zhi Ning didn't know the exact number, he probably knew it.

The soldiers and horses of the Song army going out of the city this time are [-] if not [-], so this Yingzhou...

How many people are left?
With a simple counting question, the son-in-law of Wanyan Wushu quickly made his own decision:

If God does not take it, he will be blamed instead;
When it doesn't work, you will suffer!
Like Wanyan Wushu, he has been winning since he was born.

This time, it is also to win.

Zhi Ning looked at Yingzhou City in the distance, and ordered people to gather up the scattered deserters, while he led the people and surrounded them again.

As soon as Yingzhou escaped from the siege, he fell into the siege again.

"It's surrounded. Although there are fewer people, it is indeed surrounded."

Although Zhang Taiwei knew that the officials were in a bad mood, such good news really made it difficult for him to restrain his mood.

The officials have spent so much manpower, material and financial resources in Yingzhou, if they are not even used, then it is really unnecessary.

Now the opposite side has seen so many troops come out with their own eyes...the cat guards the fish, who doesn't want to steal?
Zhang Taiwei could already imagine that those golden dogs were dragged to death in Yingzhou by Uncle Liu Xin with 4 people when they attacked the city.

It's a pity that His Majesty gave Liu Kai such an obvious and great contribution...

He also thought that he really owed Uncle Liu Xin in the last Tuogao battle, so even though he felt it was a pity, Taiwei Zhang finally accepted it.

It's his.

The emperor was still silent. Although everyone didn't know what the relationship between the old man and the official family was, judging from the crying of the official family last night... When Zong Ze died, the news of the death of Emperor Huizong and Queen Xing came. , Everyone has never seen His Majesty like this.

This person must be very important to him.

Not to mention outsiders like Han Chang, even Zhang Junyueyun often didn't dare to figure out the emperor's mind.

But Guo Yaoshi was different, he was a mortal person anyway, Emperor Zhao didn't kill him, but he didn't treat him that well either.

As time passed, the old man understood this man's intentions somewhat.

How lonely a hero has been since ancient times. If the leader of the Chinese ZTE has done so many great things, if no outsiders know about it, how uncomfortable he will be in his heart.

And my own existence is the witness of the emperor's martial arts, the candidate for him to show off, and the person who points out the identity of the emperor amidst the exclamations of the crowd when the emperor walks in brocade clothes at night.

Otherwise, there is no reason why he would not hide anything from himself and do everything under his nose.

With this thought, the former number one general of the Song Dynasty didn't know whether to be happy or sad. After all, he seemed to be more confidant than the emperor's confidant, but he was far from the status of an ordinary confidant.

After patting the horse behind the emperor, Guo Yaoshi made eye contact with Zhang Taiwei, motioning him to get out of the way and make room for himself.

But Zhang Jun had long hated this old man of unknown origin for competing with him for favor. Although he saw him, he just hummed and didn't make any other movements.

Pharmacist Guo didn't care either, he was a person who deserved to die a long time ago, so naturally he wasn't afraid of what he saw or heard, but you Zhang Taiwei insisted on changing your identity to compare yourself...

"You shouldn't be sad, should you?"

His voice was not too loud, but it could definitely be understood by the emperor in front.

"When the soldiers and horses of the Sanya never come out in full force, no matter how long the battle line in the Huaihe River is, the troops of Zhang Taiwei and Marshal Han are enough. You are doing this, isn't it just to make Lin'an vacant? No Is it just to make room for people with ulterior motives in Lin'an?"

"You are bold!"

The emperor still didn't look back, but Zhang Taiwei suddenly panicked.

I'm afraid this person is crazy, but he dared to say that... Does he even know what he's talking about?

The officials specially asked people to rebel... Isn't this saying that His Majesty is a villain, or that what Zhao officials are doing is not upright and mediocre!
Take a step back, even if it's true... so what if it's true, is that what you should say!

Zhang Jun didn't know whether he was panicked or angry, he scolded Guo Yaoshi many times, if the emperor didn't respond, he wished he could kill the old man right now.

Guo Yaoshi still ignored him: "Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan, Zheng Zhuanggong let his brother and mother be arrogant, and finally made them have the heart to rebel... So at that time, Zheng Zhuanggong made a move again, and everything made a lot of sense."

Zhang Jun didn't dare to listen anymore, he cupped his hands towards the emperor and said:
"Chen go to the back to see if they are following."

Then he turned the horse's head and left without looking back, leaving a big open space for Guo Yaoshi.

When he was half a body behind the emperor, Guo Yaoshi looked towards the official Zhao's family, but saw that his face was expressionless, as if he didn't hear what he said.

Guo Yaoshi didn't say much anymore, the two of them just kept silent and walked towards Lin'an.

"It's not that you haven't read the book, how come you even know the story of Zheng Zhuanggong."

The first sentence Liu Bang spoke was a question, Guo Yaoshi smiled and said:

"It's still what Lu Yihao told the little old man back then, but at that time, he regarded the little old man and Chang Shengjun as his uncles. Didn't the imperial court treat us preferentially at that time? Lu Yihao is a warning, and the little old man naturally Remember clearly."

Liu Bang shook his head: "If you have to think about everything in this world, it would be too tiring to live."

"You said that I shouldn't be sad, just because someone rebelled, and this rebellion happened to fulfill my intention, so I shouldn't be sad...Guo Yaoshi, you are always like this, you don't understand anything, and you are always like this Many words."

"Of course I will be sad. I am not the Buddha in your temple. That thing is made of mud. I am not. I am a person..."

"Since you are human, you will be sad."

"You're so sad..." Guo Yaoshi looked at him, only feeling that the emperor's profile was a bit indescribable.

"Are you sad because you didn't prepare, so you killed that old man?"

Liu Bang kept thinking about what went wrong.

Even if Zhao Shicheng had connections with Dali and the Kingdom of Jin, it was impossible for him to open his mouth and shout out to plot against him by himself.

I had already informed Liu Ziyu in advance, judging from that person's behavior, he was a reasonable and well-organized person, as long as he was prepared, there would be absolutely no mistakes.

The army has already reached the Anfeng Army. According to the previous plan, Yue Yunbiao will be separated from the people here. He came forward and said something to the emperor. Most of them were about "take care of your health". Liu Bang told him:

"When I met your father, tell him not to worry about other things. When I return to Lin'an, there will be no troubles."

"Fight well, kill more golden men, tell me as soon as possible if you have no money or food, and don't think about anything else, leave it to me."

Yue Yun kowtowed to the emperor, and led the [-] soldiers and horses he had brought with him to the west.

He came here in a hurry, but he didn't return empty-handed when he went... The emperor gave him one out of three of the grain, grass and military equipment prepared by Yingzhou. Yue Fei didn't know how long he would stay in Ruzhou. The confidence to fight fiercely.

When they were far away, Liu Bang rejected Huang Yanjie's suggestion to rest at Anfeng Army, and he still had to hurry.

"What do you mean I'm not ready?"

Guo Yaoshi looked at His Majesty again, but saw that he seemed to be a different person, and all the previous dark feelings were dispelled.

"What you mean, kid, seems to be that I killed someone else."

Guo Yaoshi was speechless... Isn't it?

Seeing the expression on the old man's face, Liu Bang felt angry:
"You deserve it, kid, for falling like this!"

"I ask you, when you were the commander of the Changsheng Army, you voted for the Jin people. Do you hate the Song people or the Jin people?"

The old man just exposed the emperor's secrets, and now he is revealing the secrets...Since he is so frank, he naturally has no reason to hide it.

"I hate Jin people, but I hate Song people even more. If those incompetent people hadn't killed Zhang Jue, if it hadn't been for Huang Qianshan, Wang Boyan, and Tong Guan Qin Hui... many things could have been avoided."

The emperor seemed to know his answer a long time ago:
"Look, you don't hate the Jin people who buried your Changsheng army with your own hands, but you hate the Song people the most."

"The Jin people are the result of the destruction of the Ever Victorious Army, and the Song people... are the cause!"

Guo Yaoshi had already restrained himself very much. He was talking about the people of the Song Dynasty, but he was actually talking about the court of the Song Dynasty.

"So you think that I was the cause of killing the old Wangtou, and the person who killed him is the fruit, then I have to take more responsibility and feel guilty about myself, right?"

Guo Yaoshi didn't answer, he had already acquiesced to the emperor's statement.

"Then someone had a lot of money and was robbed by someone. It's the sufferer who is to blame, right? Who told him to have a lot of money?"

"This... this is sophistry!"

"There is no cause and effect."

Liu Bang finally turned his head to look at the old man, he is the emperor, he can't be wrong.

And, he's not wrong at all.

"Bullshit karma, I only know who forced him here, it was Zhao Shicheng! That's enough, the rest..."

Dozens of fast horses finally ushered in the front... If they were not dressed in familiar clothes, it would not be normal for a team of cavalry to appear here.

And these people, one after another, were sent by Zhao Ding from Lin'an.

They couldn't enter Yingzhou, and some wanted to enter, but they were stopped by the Jinren, so they all stayed here with Anfeng Army.

Now seeing the emperor's flag, these people rushed over, not even wanting a horse, and ran over directly.

When someone read out the names of Emperor Xiaociyuan and Empress Dowager...

Guo Yaoshi was a little surprised...that was his former emperor.

And Liu Bang finally understood.

I understood what Zhao Shicheng was doing.

I also understood what the intention of the golden men came to surround me and let me bite their bait.

After a while, the emperor opened his mouth and said:

"So this is ah."

The Jin people delayed for so long, they were not buying time for Zhao Shicheng at all.

What they dragged were the two who came back from the north.

"His Majesty……"

There was a hint of sadness in Guo Yaoshi's shout, but Liu Bang didn't care.

"It turns out that the fruit is here."

He turned towards Huang Yanjie and said:

"There is a traitor in the court, go and let everyone know, we go back this time to eliminate traitors...so the schedule can't be slow, when we arrive in Lin'an, everyone will be rewarded."

Huang Yanjie paused for a moment, and then passed on the order. Instead, it was Lu Zai who was next to him... Living room people were a little worried:
"Officials, what kind of rape are we... hoeing?"

"Whatever is rape, we will hoe it."

……

Every year on the first day of the first lunar month, the emperor will entertain his ministers.

But before the banquet, there is another thing that must be done, which is sacrifice.

Worshiping heaven, ancestors and temples is an inescapable duty of every king.

But this year is different. This year the emperor led the army to go outside, so it could have been postponed, or the officials set up an altar in Yingzhou, which is the same.

However, there is still an emperor in Lin'an.

Although Zhao Huan had only been emperor for one year, he was also an emperor, as the empress dowager said, he was also a crown prince appointed by the first emperor himself, and he was worshiped by all the officials in the world.

Whether it's Zhao Ding or Liu Ziyu, whether it's Xin Ciying or Su Fu, this person was once their Majesty, this cannot be faked.

So when the Empress Dowager said that she would let the Holy Emperor Xiaociyuan come to offer sacrifices to heaven... except for Xin Ciying, although many people wanted to object, Zhao Ding agreed.

Not only did he agree, but he also used it on Zhao Huan unabated according to the etiquette prepared for the officials.

With such an attitude, if the ministers have no other ideas, it is absolutely impossible.

As far as Xin Ciying is concerned, he has known Zhao Ding for many years, and has reached the point of pointing at his nose and cursing:

"You suffered from Qin Hui's calamity, and you were exiled in Kyushu alone. The officials called you back to Lin'an, and begged you to be their prime minister... How is this great kindness different from Emperor Zhaolie's invitation to Marquis Wu?"

"And you, is this how you repay His Majesty?!"

The old man's heart had already melted on the emperor, and he had melted several times in succession.

Now he is the loudest and the most opinionated.

It's also thanks to the fact that the governor of Lin'an is not as powerful as the governor of Kaifeng, otherwise, I really don't know what he will do.

Zhao Huan was wearing a big fur crown, something that only emperors could wear, and now at the Taimiao in front of Ruishiquan, he was already chanting the sacrifice to heaven.

For some reason, on the first day of the 12th year of Shaoxing, when it was still Chinese New Year, none of the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty could laugh.

When Zhao Huan led all the ministers to bow down, Xin Ciying, who stood there like a giant, looked extremely eye-catching.

In name, Wang Xie already had the duty of commanding the imperial guards of the Sanya Imperial City. Although the number was small, it really made this semi-retired person feel the taste of power again.

Seeing that this stubborn old man was making trouble again, this General Wang became very angry... Regardless of his dignity, he went straight up and slapped Xin Ciying several times.

From the time he followed Zhao Shicheng to the Lin'an government office to this day, Wang Xie can't remember how many times he hit this man.

According to his temper, this person should have been killed long ago!
Xin Ciying didn't fight back, but just looked at the man coldly. Zhao Huan shouted in a low voice, "Don't do anything," but he still refused to come down the steps. Like a play.

"You old man, how dare you despise your majesty!"

While talking, Wang Xie kept slapping Xin Ciying's head from side to side.

But as soon as he stopped, Xin Ciying immediately recovered and stood up straight, still looking contemptuous.

Yes, Wang Xie did not blame him, he was indeed contemptuous.

Wang Xie was tired from the beating, and the corners of Xin Ci's mouth were bleeding, and the old man finally spoke:

"One hundred and seven."

"what?"

"One hundred and seven slaps, I remember clearly."

Looking at this serious old man, Wang Xie finally couldn't help laughing.

It's no wonder General Wang laughed so much, the main reason is that he has been in the prefecture and county for many years, and he doesn't know much about the major events in Lin'an City.

If he knew that this was the beloved minister of Zhao Guan's family, maybe he would keep it a little bit more, but then again, how could Zhao Guan's family put their beloved minister only in the position of Yin of Lin'an Prefecture?

Zhao Ding sighed softly, stood up first, bowed to the emperor, and then walked in front of Xin Ciying:
"Why?"

"This is the truth of a loyal minister, and the truth of a man. Even if I tell you, you won't understand."

He scolded harshly, saying that he is not a man, Zhao Ding just moved his eyelids, but he still stubbornly pulled him up:

"Even if you don't kneel to the one above, the priest should kneel."

"Kneel down!"

Xin Ciying suddenly cursed:
"This one sold half of his country to go out, and that one is still outside risking his life to fight back!"

"This person who put himself and his parents in danger, and the people in the south feel pity for him, but they don't know who made such a situation back then, but it was the one who was scolded!"

"Now, it's fine if you don't write a book of guilt, but come back and grab that person's job. What's the reason? Where can this reason be justified?!"

Seeing him talking too much, and so loudly, all the ministers around must have heard him.

But they were not the only ones who heard it, Zhao Huan still looked concerned from above, and no one knew that his fists had already been clenched under the cuffs of his crown robe.

Zhao Ding finally waved to several servants:

"Xin Fuyin is in poor health, let's send him back to the residence first."

Xin Ciying didn't want to stay here at all, he flicked his sleeves, and went out of the Taimiao without even looking at the emperor above.

With a whole body of anger, and already swollen cheeks.

As soon as he stepped out, he only felt sad, and even shouted directly on the street:

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

The voice was filled with grief, and everyone in the Taimiao frowned.

They all looked at Zhao Xiangye, hoping that he could make a gesture.

On the other side, opposite the Taimiao Temple is the Great Buddha Temple. This is a temple built in Lin'an facing the Daxiangguo Temple. Needless to say, the incense is at its peak. This year is the first day again, and many people are rushing to burn the incense.

The dwarf and his guards also came to join in the fun, but he didn't even react when he heard the guards who came back from outside talk about what happened in the Taimiao.

After kneeling in front of the Buddha for a long time and telling the Buddha what was in his heart, this man stood up:

"Don't worry about other things, if someone brings them here, it has nothing to do with us."

A deposed emperor who has no power, whether it is himself, Wanyan Wushu, or even the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, never thought that he could cause much trouble.

But as long as he is in Song State, then everything will be fine.

A country can only have one emperor, and the other, even in name only, as long as he says the right thing at the right time... It doesn't even need to be said, just express his opinion, that's enough.

The present Emperor Song has no descendants, and the emperor has come to Lin'an again. No matter how many people have ideas, Emperor Song must spend a lot of effort to save his life.

Because, he has been missed.

After a while, another guard came to report:

"There was also an accident at the palace...their empress dowager called a young monk from Lingyin Temple."

"What's wrong?"

"That little monk... seems to be very popular with Emperor Song. Their queen mother may want to use him to enter the inner palace."

"These things have nothing to do with us... Put your energy in the north!"

After the dwarf finished speaking, he continued: "As long as there is news of Song Emperor's return, we will leave as soon as possible. This is a matter of our lives."

The man agreed, and just about to leave, he seemed to remember something:
"Zhang Jun has arrived."

"Ah."

The dwarf nodded and said nothing else.

The dwarf already knew about the empress dowager's inability to enter the inner palace. In his opinion, this was another backhand left by Emperor Song.

But to him, it's no big deal.

But for the empress dowager, that was very different.

The empress dowager doesn't care about the inner palace, and now she can't even enter... This is the most uncomfortable and angry place for empress dowager Wei these days.

So when someone said that there was a young monk who often went in and out of the inner palace, she wanted to see it.

See if it's true, if the little monk can get in but he can't.

Then she will naturally have many, many words to say to her son.
