Chapter 830

At the post station twenty miles north of Kaifeng City, Ni Yi asked curiously, "Huainan? What we can use in Huainan... Isn't that scholar Jia She the only one?"

He rolled his eyes and asked in a low voice, "That fellow Jia She may not be one of us, right?"

Guo Ning laughed and patted Ni Yi on the shoulder: "Don't underestimate the significance of our victory over Kaifeng. Some people will be afraid of our power and go crazy. They will desperately try to change the situation and give themselves Find some support for survival in troubled times. There are also some people who didn't show up in the past, but they will move with the times... We only need these people to be slightly alienated from the Song Kingdom in the Southern Dynasty, and we have already taken advantage of it."

Ni Yi was a little confused by Guo Ning's misty words. He asked in surprise: "What are these people? It sounds like a lot... Do you have any plans, my lord? Can we still take Huainan?"

"After taking Kaifeng, our strength has reached its limit, and then we have to maintain the direction of Qinlong. If there is a war in Huainan, we can't afford it. What's more, if we take Huainan, our troops will be thinner than the Yangtze River. If you have to fight us to the death, you won’t be able to do business!"

Speaking of this, Guo Ning was a little emotional.He waved his hand, turned around and continued to look at the marching queue.

This doesn't work, that doesn't work, and the Duke of the State prefers Huainan. What will happen there?

Ni Yi thought for a while, and suddenly realized.

At the same time, Yang You, who was hundreds of miles away, finally got impatient when he saw the two had been persuading them.He put his hand on the handle of the knife and sneered: "You two, are you confused? Who do you think the Prime Minister is? If you continue to be so confused, you two will offend the Prime Minister severely, not to mention the official position as big as sesame seeds and mung beans. There is no guarantee, and your life is at stake, and you will be decapitated at any time!"

"Why should Governor Yang make false threats? We have done nothing, how could we offend the prime minister?"

"You two only know how to boast and accept bribes. It is a dream for you to deal with Ding Haijun in the north. However, Ding Haijun's traitor is working as the deputy envoy of Huaidong Zhizhi in Yangzhou, and you just watch?"

"This……"

Ying Chunzhi looked at Li Jue, and said hesitantly, "However, this person used to work under the Prime Minister's family before, so he has some friendship."

"fart!"

Yang You shouted suddenly: "This guy is the one who shielded Li Yun from changing his face to enter Lin'an, this guy is the one who deceived the Prime Minister and many trusted staff around him! The Prime Minister can't do anything about Li Yun, so can he also have something against Jia She? The prime minister must be the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and every day this person lives in Yangzhou, he is slapping the prime minister in the face, and he will become a target for outsiders to attack at any time!"

After all, Li Jue was thinking about getting more money, so he hurriedly said, "That being said, this person is now a key intermediary in the land trade between the North and the South, how can we touch him?"

"madness!"

Yang You stopped drinking again, making Li Jue's ears ringing.

"Nowadays, land trade is in the hands of many private traders, and private traders are becoming more and more unruly. Is this what the Prime Minister wants to see? This huge financial source must be in the hands of the Prime Minister. How can Can he be faked by others? Jia She is running around making money for unrelated people. What use does the prime minister want from him? This person attracts the attention of the government and the public in vain, reminding people that the prime minister was fooled; he also cheats on others, he is a The moths who defrauded the prime minister of his money...are actually living well until now, what does the prime minister want from you?"

"This……"

Li Jue and Ying Chunzhi had always regarded Yang You as an ignorant Qiu Ba, only now did they realize that such a reckless character who has moved to the north and south and has always stood tall has his own ability to gain a foothold.Although he is reckless, it seems reasonable to judge Shixiang's intentions!

The two of them have always regarded themselves as powerful figures in the historical party, and they have made great efforts to understand the wishes of the historical prime minister.Now it seems that he doesn't understand things as well as a fierce dog?

The two of them thought again along Yang You's train of thought, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Have you figured it out? This is a rare opportunity. If you figure it out, just follow me!" Yang You urged.

"Yang Tongzhi, what are you going to do?"

Yang You grinned a few times, walked to the door of Jia She's mansion, and pulled it open abruptly.

Outside the door is a spacious courtyard, which probably used to be a storage yard for drying grain in the early years.

In the courtyard, there were a dozen capable guards brought by Li Jue and Ying Chunzhi.

At this moment, the guards were all restrained by their swords and did not dare to make a sound or move. The courtyard was filled with warriors holding various weapons and wearing helmets. The early morning sun shone on them. On Sen Han's armor, he looked increasingly murderous.

Yang You stood proudly by the door, waited until Li Jue and Ying Chunzhi saw clearly what was going on in the courtyard, then closed the door again.

He said: "Today, Jia She summoned more than [-] private businessmen who were close to him to conspire. Naturally, these more than [-] private businessmen were particularly loyal to Ding Haijun Guo Ning. However, I am in Yangzhou City. There are also some connections, and this time they entered the city and smuggled five hundred warriors. Each of them can fight one against a hundred, and they are extremely ferocious. They can kill everyone in that mansion with just one charge."

"If you do this, there will be chaos in the city."

"It's good to be in chaos! Once there is chaos in the city, many things will no longer be clear. You two jointly wrote the article, only to say that the private merchants in the city colluded with the bandits to cause chaos, killed the deputy envoy of Zhizhi, and the private merchants fought each other to death... Let’s go along with the flow of this matter, and it’s over!”

Ying Chunzhi pondered for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Is this really what the prime minister needs?"

Yang You said angrily: "If you don't believe me, just do nothing and wait for Xiangye to unleash the wrath of thunder!"

Ying Chunzhi fell into deep thought.

Li Jue asked suddenly: "Yang Tongzhi, you came from Zhenzhou with the intention of relieving our danger, and we are very kind. However, what do you want at the risk of leading troops across the border?"

"Loyalty Army."

Ying Chunzhi was stunned: "Your subordinate in Zhenzhou, isn't it just..."

In the middle of the sentence, he understood: "You have to combine the Loyalty Army from the Huainan Routes into one, and bring them all under your command!"

The so-called loyal army was the remnants of the red coat army that retreated into the Song Dynasty after Yang An'er was defeated.The remaining troops were divided into two branches. One branch was led by Yang You; the other branch was led by Yang Miaozhen, who had been stationed along the canal for a long time.

Generally speaking, because of his hard work for Shi Kuanzhi, Yang You received more support from the court and had a higher level of equipment and training.However, Yang Miaozhen's unit has a better reputation among the rest of the Red Coat Army and has a larger number of troops.After Yang An'er's death, the two families have been competing with each other for influence in the Red Coat Army, and there have been conflicts from time to time.

Because the recruitment process of this army actually affected the interests of the two imperial commanders, Jiankang and Zhenjiang, all parties also deliberately provoked them to fight among themselves in order to check and balance each other.

However, the thirteen captains of the Kaifeng imperial court of the Great Jin Kingdom went south, and in just over a month, beat up all the soldiers and horses of the imperial court in Huainan, and the soldiers stationed in the two capital commanders suffered heavy losses.However, the Qiangyong and Zhenhuai armies that Cui Yuzhi organized and trained in Huaidong were tossed around by Li Jue and Ying Chunzhi for more than a year, and their combat effectiveness was not as good as before.

A clear-headed person can see at a glance that these two loyal armies are now the most capable armies in Huainan, and after the two loyal armies are merged into one, the person who will lead this army will be the one who controls the army of the Song Dynasty. The most powerful person in Huainan.

"The Loyalty Army is owned by me, and Huainan must be guarded as tightly as an iron barrel. The trade revenue from the north and the south of the canal, and even the right to select available merchants, are owned by the two. I think the two can manage it in an orderly manner. The Song Dynasty will win a steady stream of benefits for Prime Minister Shi. This is a great good thing that will benefit the Song Dynasty and Prime Minister Shi. How about it? Can we do it?"

Yang You is good at tempting.

Ying Chunzhi was about to nod his head, but held back forcefully: "It's no problem to get rid of Jia She. Others, what kind of loyal army, what kind of trade gains, where can we give and receive them privately?"

"At this time, if you don't give and receive privately, when will you wait?" Yang You said with a half-smile: "What others bestow is not as solid as holding it in your own hands!"

Ying Chunzhi let out a hey, and asked for another word, but Li Jue yanked him.

Li Jue turned to Yang You and nodded slightly: "Yang Tongzhi, no matter how much you say now, it's all empty words. You might as well wait until you kill Jia She and take control of Yangzhou, then we can discuss the details later."

Yang You's eyes flashed fiercely, and after a few breaths he said slowly: "Okay. You two, just wait here, and let me kill those worms in the court first!"

What he meant was to put Li Jue and Ying Chunzhi under house arrest, but they were powerless to object.

Yang You strode out and got on his horse.

Shi Xiang boasted in Lin'an City that he had joined hands with Zhou Guogong in the north to destroy Da Jin's Kaifeng court and brought huge commercial benefits to the officials. Such words can only deceive the idiots in Lin'an City.After all, whether there is a tacit understanding between the two families, how could the handsome minister on the border of Huainan not be able to see it?

There was no tacit understanding between the two families, and Da Song was just beaten up by the Thirteen Captains of the Kaifeng court, and then gave the navy a chance to attack.And these poor performances have created an abnormally empty situation in Huainan.

Yang You wanted to use force to take advantage of this situation, and Jia She wanted to use financial resources to take advantage of this situation; after all, their goals were the same.

And no matter what they were going to do, Li Jue and Ying Chunzhi had no ability to stop them, they could only watch Yang You majesticly perched on the horse.He lightly reined in the reins, and the horse turned its head and tail, circling and prancing.

Back then, Yang You was known as the "Nine Kings" under Yang An'er's command, but it really wasn't because of his kinship.Just watch him point his toes a little when mounting the horse, and then his body leaps into the air. His movements are as smooth as a cheetah. You can imagine how sharp this man is on the battlefield. No wonder he can lead his troops in fierce battles with the Jurchen army. Get out!

His riding skills are also excellent, his upper body is stable and motionless, he looks around at his tense subordinates in the courtyard, and says with high spirits: "You warriors, you heroes! Today we..."

Suddenly, dense howling sounded in the courtyard.

That was the sound of arrows piercing through the air.

When Yang You got on his horse and yelled, the soldiers in the courtyard raised their weapons one after another to respond, and some people with bows and crossbows even put their arrows on the string, appearing eager to fight.

Now, all the arrows on the strings flew out, and the target was Yang You.

Dozens of arrows, hundreds of arrows, were densely pierced into Yang You's tall body from all directions. At first glance, it looked like a huge hedgehog with two human legs had appeared in the courtyard out of thin air. .

Yang You's head was also pierced with more than a dozen arrows, so that no one could see his face clearly.His body seemed to be twitching, but the too dense arrows restricted his movements. As a result of his force, the dense arrow shafts collided with each other twice, making a rattling sound.

Blood gushed out from the wound pierced by countless arrows.At first, the flow was very fast, and there was a buzzing sound against the narrow wound, like dozens of small fountains rushing.

Within a few breaths, all the blood in the body was flowing out, and the blood flow at the wound slowed down, making it look like it was overflowing.The huge hedgehog also fell from the horse. Because of the arrow support, Yang You's stiff body could not touch the ground, and he was held up half a foot above the ground.

In the entire courtyard, many people were stupefied by the situation before them, but there was another group of people who had been prepared for a long time, and immediately swung swords and guns, slashing and killing.
