Chapter 230 Yang Kang raises troops, intrigues
The world has changed!
Just when the most talented and wise king of Zhao Wanyan Honglie in the Jin Dynasty led his masters to the Song Dynasty to seize the suicide note of Wu Mu. In the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty, the eyes of loyal and righteous people were attracted to Wanyan Honglie and the Western Poison Ouyang Feng. Yang Kang, who had been silent in Shandong for a long time, finally showed his fangs!
The elite soldiers from the land of Qilu, led by Yang Kang, advanced to the abdomen of the Jin Kingdom at a lightning speed.
Yang Kang used his troops like a god, and 30,000 elite soldiers were even more unstoppable. After the departure of Shandong, the 30,000 elite soldiers captured more than ten days in just a few days. Tens of thousands of Jin soldiers were simply vulnerable to the attack of Yang Kang's 30,000 elite soldiers.
The 100,000 Jin soldiers were defeated by Yang Kang's 30,000 soldiers and horses, but they were defeated by him in one battle.
After a hundred years of peace in the Central Plains, today's Jin soldiers are no longer as brave as they were when they were just founded in the past. Although the Jin soldiers can barely be regarded as a soldier, they are only stronger than the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty who rely solely on their blood and courage.
If they were allowed to suppress the rebellion of the Han people, they could barely be able to suppress it. However, if they were allowed to fight with Yang Kang's elite soldiers fighting on the battlefield, they would be dying!
In just over a dozen days, Yang Kang broke the encirclement formed by the Jin Dynasty since he seized Shandong and showed his might. For a moment, Yang Kang's momentum was greatly boosted, and no one dared to regard him as a stray dog struggling with death!
With Yang Kang's formal uprising, many Han people in the Jin Dynasty who had long been unable to bear the cruel rule of the Jin people raised their troops one after another. In just a short period of time, his territory expanded almost twice!
The news of his rebellion was also conveyed to the whole world through various channels, making it true that everyone in the world really knew his name for the first time!
...
The Imperial Palace of Lin'an, Great Song Dynasty.
After receiving the war report from Shandong, Emperor Ningzong of the Song Dynasty immediately slapped the dragon case in front of him and laughed: "Okay! OK! There are still me, the righteous men of the Song Dynasty in the Central Plains. The Jin thieves are now declining, and they are no longer threats from the Song Dynasty. The day for my Song Dynasty to avenge my previous shame is finally coming!"
Just before Emperor Ningzong, Shi Miyuan, the recognized No. 1 power prime minister of the Song Dynasty, heard this and immediately flattered and said flatteringly: "Emperor, this is precisely because of your dragon power and the blessing of my ancestors of the Song Dynasty that we can achieve such a great victory! Yang Kang is the adopted son of the King of Zhao Wanyan Honglie of the Jin thief. Even he raised an army to rebel the Jin people, which shows that the Jin people are unpopular, and their destiny still belongs to my Song Dynasty!"
"Not bad! My dear said nothing. My Song Dynasty is a country of etiquette, and it is not comparable to a barbarian like the Jin thieves!" Emperor Ningzong held his beard and smiled proudly.
...
Dajin, Yanjing Imperial Palace.
Unlike the ecstasy of Song Lord receiving Yang Kang's rebellion, Jin Zhangzong Wanyan Jing, the tycoon of the Great Jin Kingdom, was furious after receiving the news that Yang Kang had officially launched an army.
"Bastard! Bastard!" Wanyan Jing, who was white-bearded and furious, was furious, and his beard jumped up, smashing everything in front of him. "This white-eyed wolf! This shameless white-eyed wolf! I treat him like this and make him the little prince of my Dajin Zhao Mansion as a Han Chinese. What a favor, but he actually dares to betray me Dajin. I must kill him! I must kill him!"
"Cough cough!" At the end of the day, Wanyan Jing was so angry that she coughed repeatedly.
"Your Majesty, don't be too angry." Aside Wanyan Jing, there was also a graceful and luxurious lady. The noble lady looked at the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. She was about fifty years old this year, but she was very well maintained and looked only in her thirties.
This noble lady is no one else, she is Wanyan Honglie's biological mother, Wanyan Jing's favorite concubine - Concubine Li Yuan, and Yang Kang's nominal grandmother!
Wanyan Jing pushed Li Yuanfei away impatiently and said angrily: "Hmph! How can I not be angry? Over the years, I have been treating Wanyan Kang, that little beast, but how did he treat me? He dared to rebel and commit the rebellion of my grandfather. This is simply a rebellion!"
After a while, after discovering that Wanyan Jing's mood had stabilized, several close ministers on the side raised the courage to speak: "Your Majesty, now that things have come to this point, the most important thing we should consider is how to solve this matter. Your Majesty, you should make an idea quickly. Are we fighting against Wanyan Kang?"
"Get an idea?" Wanyan Jing roared, "Now I am guarding against Temujin in the north of the Great Jin Dynasty, and I have to guard against the Southern Dynasty in the south. There is also a Western Xia in the west, and there is a Western Liao in the Western Regions. The hinterland of the Central Plains is empty. How do you ask me to make an idea?"
When everyone present heard that Wanyan Jing was not confused and could analyze the current situation, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Since the emperor was still clear, it proved that he had an idea in his heart. Now the best way for Yang Kang is to comfort him and stabilize him temporarily.
"Your Majesty, I have a way. I wonder if your Majesty thinks it is feasible?"
"What method?" Wanyan Jing said impatiently.
"I beg your Majesty to make His Highness the King of Zhao the crown prince and his crown prince Wanyan Kang the crown prince. After His Highness the King of Zhao returned from the Southern Dynasties, he would use His Highness the King of Zhao as the generals and ordered them to go north to quell the Temujin rebellion!" At the end of the talk, the minister who spoke was already lacking confidence.
However, what surprised everyone was that when Wanyan Jing heard this method, he was not furious. On the contrary, a glimmer flashed through his eyes, "What do you mean is to drive the tiger and swallow the wolf, let Wanyan Kang, the evil devil, and King Zhao go to deal with Temujin. After they fight to the point of losing both sides, will I come and clean up the mess again?"
"Your Majesty, there is no better way now." Concubine Li said bitterly. In this case, only she dared to interrupt.
The ministers on the side also showed an expression of agreement when they heard Concubine Li Yuan's words.
Wanyan Jing fell into silence, and after a while, he waved his hand and said, "You all go down, let me think about it!"
After hearing this, everyone, including Concubine Li Yuan, left obediently.
The next day, a canonization edict was issued from Yanjing City: King Wanyan Honglie of Zhao was appointed as the crown prince and Prince Yang Kang of Zhao was the crown prince. This edict also spread throughout the Jin Kingdom in the shortest time with the fast horse.
...
"Haha, it seems that I underestimated Wanyan Jing, and I didn't expect that he would have such a trick." Gu Xiao chuckled after receiving the news.
He was really clear about what Wanyan Jing was thinking. He clearly wanted to drive the tiger and swallow the wolf, and asked Yang Kang to help him deal with Temujin. This move was not so clever, and basically anyone could see it. However, it was difficult to crack, because Wanyan Jing threw the throne of the Jin Kingdom in front of Yang Kang, and it was obvious that he was always moved.
Lin Chaoying sat next to Gu Xiao. They were now in a small town on the border between the Jin and Tubo. When they heard Gu Xiao's words, they said: "Do you think your disciple can withstand this temptation?"
"I can't resist it!" Gu Xiao shook his head. He knew his apprentice so well. Yang Kang was not a person who could resist temptation. He knew very well.
Lin Chaoying chuckled and said, "Since you know he can't resist, what are you going to do?"
Gu Xiao said lightly: "Do nothing!"
"Do nothing?" Lin Chaoying didn't understand, "Why?"
Gu Xiao said proudly: "He can't resist the temptation of the throne of the Jin Kingdom, but he has the ability to swallow this tempting bait without biting the hook. I am also very clear about this."
...
The development of the situation was indeed not as expected by Gu Xiao. After receiving the news that Wanyan Jing had conferred himself the crown prince of the Jin Kingdom, Yang Kang took the initiative to stop the war and said that he would accept Wanyan Jing's edict. In fact, he seized the time to sort out the territory he had captured, stayed in his old nest, and refused to go north for a long time.
In this way, Wanyan Jing's plan to use him to deal with Temujin is on the verge of shattering!
