The envoy of the Jin army was Zhang Jun's fellow villager, from Fengxiang Mansion. The former Western Army robe was surrendered in the extremely cowardly Taiyuan Battle and called Zhao Qiu. Now he is leading hundreds of people in the Jin army as the deputy of a Meng'an (a commander of a thousand men). In fact, it is the supplement of this Meng'an's servant army.

But no matter what, the fellow villagers and old friends met each other in another place, so Zhang Jun naturally gave him enough face. He personally entertained in his residence and didn't know what the rest said, but in the afternoon, he left the city with satisfaction, which was obvious to everyone, so the morale of the army could not help but float; when Zhao Ding, the new Shouzhou governor, went to Zhang Taiwei's residence to ask, but he couldn't go in and out, so the morale of the army became more and more floating!

"That's what he said?"

In the east of Caicheng, Jin Wushu, the Jin army's village near the river bank, was overjoyed in a newly built open camp in an open camp. He was overjoyed when he heard the report.

Of course you have to be overjoyed!

Let’s talk about it, last night, the fourth prince of the Jin Dynasty, floating on the river, saw with his own eyes that the mountains were dangerous, the river was turbulent, and the city was strong. The Song army arranged it in advance. Although he believed that the Jin army was invincible in the field, he couldn’t help but feel scared... To be honest, just like this terrain and preparation, if Liu Guangshi had not run so embarrassedly, Jin Wushu almost thought that he had been captured by the Emperor of Song this time, so he deliberately led him to the army alone, and then returned empty-handed to boost morale.

But on the other hand, Liu Guangshi escaped so embarrassedly, and it was impossible to pretend. The extremely important link in the Huaihe River defense system in front of him, that is, the large-scale interaction channel between Xia Caicheng and Huainan Camp was cut off again; the strategic goal of this southward trip was still on the other side of the river... If Jin Wushu didn't do it, it would be a waste of opportunity!

When Zhang Jun's reply was so direct and straightforward, it naturally made Jin Wushu feel that the clouds and mists suddenly opened - these Song people still looked like most of the time, such as Taiyuan and Shanzhou.

"Reporting to the fourth prince, he said to the minister in person that he wanted 1,000 taels of gold and 30,000 taels of silver. The other treasures and treasures were rewarded!" Zhao Qiu knelt down and said. "He said that the silver was used to buy soldiers and civilians in the city, and the gold was used to buy officers. Later, the treasures and treasures were rewarded by the fourth prince himself... He also asked the fourth prince to establish a document so that he would not regret it later!"

"I'm just going back on my word!" Jin Wushu laughed even more, which made the Jurchens accompanying him laugh. "But this Taiwei Zhang is too greedy... I believe in buying the officers, so where do you think of buying the soldiers and the civilians? Isn't he trying to be rich? Go again and tell him that there are indeed some treasures and treasures in my tent, so it's okay to share half of them, but there are so many gold and silver things, where do you ask me to come from for him in a hurry?"

Zhao Qiu wanted to speak but stopped, but he didn't dare to refute it at all. He just took the order and left.

As soon as Zhao Qiu left, Ali, who was short next to him, couldn't help but frown: "Fourth Prince, since the city of Xia Cai is shaking, the men drove the surrounding Han people here to log and start logging, should they first start the siege equipment or start the floating bridge to lead the boat?"

"No matter how hard the Caicheng is, we must start the floating bridge and lead the boat first." Jin Wushu replied arrogantly. "How many times have I said it. This battle is mainly the man on the northern and northern Huaishan Mountains! What are the military horses in other states? If you really want to take Junzhou, aren't we allowed to take the seven or eight military states south of Mount Tai now? And why should General Ali pretend to behave? If I am willing to attack the city first, why don't I place this timber farm on the north side of the camp? Put it here, I want to cross the river first! Of course, if I can take Caicheng without fighting, it would be excellent!"

Ali frowned even more and more: "I heard that there was only a flag on the other side. The Emperor of Song had already run away..."

"No!" Wu Shu replied with a high voice. "I saw it in the river with my own eyes last night. The military camp opposite was very neat. If there were no Emperor of Song, how could Liu Guangshi's defeated soldiers be so obedient? Wang Yasha could not restrain him! In short, if General Ali wakes up, don't say much. Although I was leading a large army for the first time, I grew up in the army. There was no mistake in the battles between Jingdong East Road. How could I point fingers at me?"

Ali was helpless and frowned immediately. Even the other leader, Elubu, who was originally going to speak, had no intention of speaking.

However, another Han area surrendered, a county magistrate on the east and west roads of Beijing, saw the opportunity at this time and couldn't help but speak carefully: "Fourth Prince?"

"If you have something to say!" Wu Shu rode on the horse without looking back. "Are you afraid that I will eat you?"

"Yes... Although the official... Although the Zhao Song official family may indeed be in Bagong Mountain to the south, the inner crossing of Caicheng in the north was burned, and the two sides could only rely on messengers to communicate simply. Therefore, the soldiers in Caicheng in the ordinary Caicheng may not believe that the Zhao Song official family is still here. Why not take advantage of the upset of people in the city to make letters and notices, saying that the Zhao Song official family did run away, and there was only one dragon brow here to coax them, and then let Zhao Qiu and Zhao... Zhao Taiwei brought into the city to shake Zhang Jun's determination?"

"Forget Zhao Qiu." Jin Wushu thought. "Because Zhang Jun is a general who leads tens of thousands of people, whether he believes or not depends on himself. But the soldiers in the city can try it... This idea is good. You can join the army under my scepter and do this!"

"Thank you for the grace of the Fourth Prince!" This man was so excited that he quickly got off his horse and bowed his head and bowed, and then hurriedly got off the horse.

This person left again, Wu Shu inspected again. In addition to continuing to urge people to drive away the Han people around him to work on woodwork, he ordered three elite men (thousand men team, thousand men commander) to be divided... One swept north to contact the troops in the direction of Jeju to open up the retreat; the other two were one along the Huai River and the other bypassed Xia Caicheng to cross the Feishui River, which was to collect ships along the way, find a suitable ferry, and inquire about military information.

These are the duties of a military commander, of course there is no doubt.

After issuing these orders, even though Jin Wushu was full of ambition, he had nothing to do, so he simply went back to the camp with the two ten thousand men. However, before he could return to the military camp, Zhao Qiu, who entered the city for the second time, turned back.

"Zhang Jun's conditions remain unchanged, is his intention very strong?"

This time it was Jin Wushu's turn to frown slightly, and the fourth prince looked at Xia Cai Jiancheng's stationed in Xiamen not far away in front of the village gate for a long time, but couldn't help but ask the other party's opinion. "You are Zhang Jun's old friend. Are you trustworthy about what you said? Since you are going to be reduced, why dare to bargain with me like this?"

"I think it's credible." After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Qiu gritted his teeth and said. "The fourth prince of good teachers knows that Zhang Boying is good at everything else, but is famous for being greedy for money. His reputation as a greedy person, from Fengxiang Mansion to Taiyuan Mansion, from Jingdong to Huai, is probably everyone knows. And this time he also said..."

"say what?"

"He said that the Zhao Song official family was actually very good to him. If Liu Guangshi had not burned the inner ferry and Xia Cai became an lonely city, he would not have surrendered. But the current situation is like this. If he was forced to surrender, he would not have been ready to lead troops to fight against the Zhao Song official family... So, his headquarters in the city was more than 10,000, plus 10,000 local strong civilians in Shouzhou, and seven or eight thousand defeated soldiers from the east and west roads of Beijing who followed Liu Guangshi, totaling 30,000 people, countless food and fodder, and seven thousand in armor, he could hand over all of them! He only wanted a magistrate in his hometown in Guanxi, a magistrate, and let him be a rich man..."

"I understand his meaning. This money is not only about buying him, but also buying his troops. Is that what it means?" Jin Wushu was very excited.

"That's what it means." Zhao Qiu was sweating heavily and continued to speak hard under the horse. "And he also said..."

"You can't finish it all at once?" Before Jin Wushu spoke, another ten thousand men's chief Elu who was following him was already furious.

"Speak quickly!" Jin Wushu, who was excited, also urged repeatedly.

"Zhang Boying also said that he knew that there must be such a sum of money in the Fourth Prince's Army, including gold and silver. The price he offered was not false. Please ask the Fourth Prince to show his sincerity a little..."

"Nonsense!" Jin Wushu immediately scolded. "I followed Liu Guangshi all the way, but I didn't have time to search along the way. Where did so much gold and silver come from? It's just north of Mount Tai? Is there any time to send it here?"

Zhao Qiu wanted to speak but stopped.

"Speak!" Elubu was completely anxious and directly whipped Zhao Qiu's helmet.

Zhao Qiu quickly bowed his head and gritted his teeth and said, "Zhang Boying said that Liu Guangshi definitely has this money! Liu Guangshi's always-preserving gold and silver, and rewarding copper coins will be given, and this money will definitely be obtained by the fourth prince at this time!"

Jin Wushu, Elubu and Ali looked at each other, but they didn't know what to say... because the truth of the matter was told by Zhang Jun!

On the evening of that day, the three Jurchen nobles in the army discussed carefully and sent Zhao Qiu into the city overnight, which was considered to be a matter of principle to agree to the other party.

There are many reasons for this:

First of all, it is absolutely cost-effective to buy the 20,000 or 30,000 people in Cai Cheng and Zhang Jun's hands with this money, and it is a great value for money. Jin Wushu and the other two have not yet fallen to the point of thinking that the army is inferior to gold and silver.

Secondly, after the destruction of Liao and Song, especially after the Jingkang Shame, the Jin army obtained a large amount of gold and silver seizure. The Song Dynasty saved all the 100-year savings in Tokyo, and it was the Jin people who were once obtained. In other words, although this money was a lot, it was not in the eyes of the three Jin army's real power nobles. Their inventory in Yanjing was so real gold and silver!

Not only that, the leader of this advance, the fourth prince Jin Wushu, also promised a temporary loan to the two ten thousand men, which was considered to have contracted the debt risks this time.

Finally, they specially found a lot of surrendered people from the Song Kingdom and carefully inquired about Zhang Jun, and the results were the same... This person is indeed famous for being greedy for money, and it is said that the methods of doing business are more flexible than war!

However, these are only public discussions, and the three of them actually have two important reasons for tacit understanding:

First, although Taiyuan was eventually captured by the Jin army, they did not feel that Wanyan Loushi could not be eaten in the end, but this kind of attrition war was still too scary for the sparsely populated Jurchens, and they still left a deep impression on them, the senior leaders of the Jin army. In fact, if they could avoid attacking the city, they would truly conform to the simple military knowledge obtained by the Jurchens from fishing and hunting life. The barbaric and brainlessness were just a misunderstanding of the hard work style of the Jin people during the war;

Secondly, the war is still going on, and the Jurchens are roughly speaking for surrendered people with soldiers. Perhaps Zhang Jun made this condition because of this, and perhaps Jin Wushu would not break his promise... But as the saying goes, you always have to put bait to hunt prey, but when you buy prey, you have to even get fur into the hunter's clothes. This time, Zhang Boying took so much money to Shaanxi, and Jin Wushu would have 10,000 ways to slowly let him vomit it out!

In short, these principles are combined with the fact that Xia Caicheng is indeed an isolated city and the widespread existence of surrendered people in the Song Dynasty. The Jurchens, or Jin Wushu, still think that they can do this business!

Of course, I definitely can't agree in one breath. Zhao Qiu entered the city for the third time in one day. The conditions for bringing him were that the documents could be written, and the fourth prince could even write them in person. However, the gold and silver in the camp did indeed escape a lot, and it was difficult to get them all together, so I hope to pay half of them first, and then half when Zhang Jun opened the city and handed over the troops and took office in Guanxi. Then he would make up for him!

What kind of person is Zhang Jun? How could he have made such a foolish account? He didn't even bite him so much that he even changed into armor in front of Zhao Qiu that night and participated in the night patrol on the city wall.

On the second day, on the afternoon of the second day of the first lunar month, Zhao Qiu entered the city for the fourth time, and changed to paying 70% of the gold and silver first, and proposed that Jin Wushu was willing to give Zhang Jun some more treasures!

This time, Zhang Jun pondered for a while, and finally had no choice but to respond. He agreed that when he saw gold, silver and wealth entering the city, he would complete the inventory and distribution in front of the envoy, and the next day he would open the city to surrender to welcome the King of the Jin army!
