Chapter 1002 Many people will die today
After experiencing the previous chaos and killings, the most important capital of the Great Liao Dynasty had long since become decayed. Apart from the walking of a few Jin soldiers, there were no other figures on the street. However, the blood traces left by the killings were still clearly visible at this time.
Fortunately, more than half a month ago, with Wu Shu's advice, Aguda finally ordered that no longer kill people, and the remaining people in the city were no longer slaughtered. And with the sudden departure of tens of thousands of elite Jin troops, the atmosphere of depression here became more relaxed. At least the Jin army left here did not burn, kill, plunder and acted as before, and did nothing.
All this comes down to the strict orders of the chief general of the Jin army who stayed here, Wanyan Wu Qimai, was issued a series of orders to maintain stability in the city and restrain the behavior of the Jin army, which made these Jurchen soldiers who had always been bloodthirsty and hatred for the Liao people temporarily put aside their murderous intentions and began to truly rule the capital of the Liao Kingdom.
As the brother who is the most clear-minded and trusted by Aguda among the many important generals of the Jin Dynasty, Wu Qimai's primary task for staying here is to maintain stability in the rear and gain the surrender and support of the Liao people through his various means of comfort.
However, tonight he did not focus on these things, but stood alone in front of an extremely large geographical map of the Liao and Song dynasties in the hall, his eyes were constantly circulating on the marked cities, his mouth slowly raised, thinking about some more important things.
"If everything goes well, I think Agu Da and others will have already attacked Zhuozhou City tonight. This time, it will definitely surprise the generals of the Song and Liao countries. They will never dream of it. We will see through their conspiracy from the beginning, and then take the tricks and detour the rear to seize this key city." He said slowly in his mouth, and he thought of the scene in his heart that Wanyan Wushu proposed the Song people's request for help that day.
At that time, Aguda and other generals in the hall had a lot of suspicion about his statement. It was Wu Qimai's support that made everyone really pay attention to the truth and falsehood of this matter.
"Although the Song people are not good at fighting than the Liao people, at least they have more troops. Moreover, the Liao people have been defeated in the north one after another. Now that the capital has been destroyed by us, how can we still defend Nanjing? So, in my opinion, the Song envoy's statement itself has a big problem." Wu Qimai expressed his doubts seriously.
Wu Shu's argument was more direct: "This Song envoy was too generous and too calm. He agreed to the request we made almost no bargaining. No matter how we look at it, it was a problem. His calmness was even more strange. He didn't seem to worry about us attacking them after sending troops, nor did he make any demands to restrict our behavior after sending troops. It was as if as long as we were willing to send troops to Nanjing, he would have completed his mission."
The analysis of the two of them, the most shrewd generals among the Jurchens, finally made Aguda and a group of generals accept that there was indeed a deception. Then they took this opportunity to set up a plan to make a plan, divide their troops to detour the rear, and raid a series of countermeasures in Zhuozhou City where the Song army's granary was located. Most of these strategies were proposed by Wu Shu and recognized by almost everyone, including him, Wu Qimai.
Thinking of this, Wu Qimai's smile even more: "Wu Shu, although you are young, you are really better than many people in terms of your talent, and you even have to compare me as an uncle. To be honest, if you make more contributions, I am afraid that Aguda will consider passing the throne to you in the future.
"It seems that I have to do more here so that Aguda believes that I am the most suitable person to inherit his throne. Only I can lead our Great Jin Kingdom to a higher peak."
When his thoughts came to this point, he suddenly stopped. Because a figure appeared in front of the hall, there was no stopping much, the man walked in silently. This made Wu Qimai, who heard the footsteps, frowned slightly and said softly: "Zeng Tu, but has something happened outside?"
Although the Jin people did not have as much red tape as the Song people, as the chief general of the entire Shangjing Jin army, Wu Qimai's security issues were still very important. He had heavy troops all around his residence. Even inside this deep courtyard, ordinary soldiers could not be allowed to easily approach this cross-court, let alone come to the hall silently. Only Zeng Tu, the captain of the guard who was most trusted, could do this easily.
Zeng Tu acted as calm as ever, and then he said slowly when he came behind Wu Qimai: "There is no change in the city. I just came here to think of something more important, so I will report it."
"But what happened?" Wu Qimai felt even more curious. He suddenly turned around and looked at the underestimator who was usually silent. To be honest, even after being together for several years, he still couldn't figure out what the other party was thinking sometimes.
Zeng Tu's eyes only swept the map ahead and asked, "Bo Jilie has been looking at this map tonight, but is it the day when our army goes south to defeat the conspiracy of Song and Liao, and conquer the Liao city?"
"Hmm? You even know this?" Wu Qimai asked in surprise: "It seems that I really underestimated you before. Not only are you good at martial arts, but you are also very extraordinary in your mind."
"Bo Jilie praised it. The young man did not have such wisdom to understand everything. This was what my third brother told me before leaving." Zeng Tu grinned and said, "He said that Bo Jilie's calmness would only be at such a critical moment tonight that he would temporarily leave everything behind and pay attention to the war ahead."
"Is Zeng Suo? He is indeed a little smart, so he was valued by Aguda and stayed by his side."
"It seems that my guess is indeed good. The Great Jin army has launched a large-scale attack on the Liao and Jin countries today. Maybe there is a big battle going on in the south, and it seems that the Jin army, which has the lead, must have a great chance of winning."
At this point, Wu Qimai had noticed something was wrong and immediately grabbed the sword on his waist: "What do you mean by all this?"
"I just want to tell Bo Jilie that your plan may not be successful."
"Is there anything wrong with it? Can the Song people guess that we will use a trick?"
"I can't guess it, but it is inevitable that someone will pass on some means to pass on the Jin people's suspicion about their behavior. For example, before the Song envoy left Shangjing, he would reveal the secret discussions of your monarch and ministers to him so that the Song army could be prepared further. Therefore, when you think everything is under control, in fact, you have fallen into a bigger trap without knowing it." Zeng Tu said calmly in his tone, as if what he said was just a small matter that was irrelevant, but these words fell into Wu Qimai's ears, but it made his heart turbulent waves, and his face could no longer be as calm as before, and he stared at him with his eyes: "You...you..."
"I dare not hide the truth. The matter that day was already passed on to the Song envoy by my brother. After all, at the court meeting that day, my third brother had been guarding the gate of the hall with several other guards. Of course, he had all your discussions, including how to divide the troops and use Zhuozhou City as the target of this attack. I think, with the strength of Sun Tu and the Liao and Song armies, they would definitely set up a net of heaven and earth in Zhuozhou, waiting for the Jin soldiers to come to the door."
When Zeng Tu Yi pointed out all the key points incisively, Wu Qimai could no longer hold on any calmness, and immediately shouted loudly: "Come here! Come here..." But when his voice came out, it was quiet outside, without any response at all.
Zeng Tu leaned forward step by step, although his face was still calm, the murderous intent in his eyes could not be concealed: "The useless Bo Jilie, when I came in just now, I had already given orders to the people in this yard with your name, so that they could all stay outside the gate. Now, there are only you and me in this yard. Even if you shouted to the throat, you would never be able to call people back."
"You... I have always trusted you very much. Why? Are you not my Jurchen? Why do you collude with the Song people? Didn't they even kill your family?" As if scared by the other party's murderous intent, Wu Qimai unconsciously retreated back, his whole face twisted, and he asked loudly.
"I am a Jurchen, but I killed my father and caused my Zeng family to destroy them. It was also you Jurchens. In fact, from the beginning when we came to the Jin Kingdom, we brothers were to kill you guys one day and avenge their family!" Zeng Tu's expression was as firm as iron, "And today is the time for you to pay the price for what you did that day!" As he said that, he rushed forward, his right hand was on his waist, and a cold light had already slashed Wu Qimai's neck.
Wu Qimai's reaction was not slow, and he instantly drew his knife and blocked the route of the attack. At the same time, he shouted: "Don't forget, if you really kill me, you can't escape death!"
"Since I have decided to do all this, I have never thought of leaving alive. I just want you people to pay for their lives and die!" When I said this, Zeng Tu Yi held the knife in both hands, and quickly passed by, and rushed by one, and greeted Wu Qimai directly.
Perhaps Wu Qimai was a warrior in the Jurchen tribe back then, but with his age and status, he had not really fought for many years. In addition, the incident tonight was too sudden, which completely disrupted his mind. So after a fight, he finally couldn't resist Zeng Tu's attack like a storm. There were more than ten scars on his body. The last knife penetrated deep into his heart, nailing him to a pillar in the hall.
"You..." A large mouthful of blood kept gushing out of his mouth, making Wu Qimai unable to even say a complete word.
