In the main hall of Cai Mansion, Cai Jing looked at Wu Yong and said expressionlessly: "After my persuasion, the Holy One has agreed to canonize General Po Liao as the King of Guangyang County."
Wu Yong shouted angrily: "The one we talked about earlier was King Yan, a one-word king.
He was not a county king."
Cai Jing said with a bad face: "Don't be ignorant.
The prince is already the most tolerant of the imperial court.
If he is canonized as King of Yan, how will the Holy Father explain to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty?
You don't have to have any wishful thinking as a one-word king."
Wu Yong stared at Cai Jing without saying a word.
Cai Jing picked up the tea bowl and said nothing.
The atmosphere in the hall was extremely heavy for a while.
After a long time, Wu Yong finally said: "We want to determine the title of Prince Xiang."
The title is not a trivial matter, it indicates where the fiefdom is.
Dingxiang is much larger than Guangyang.
If it were a city in the Song Dynasty, there might be some debate.
However, for the Song Dynasty, both Guangyang and Dingxiang were cities of the Liao Kingdom.
There was not much difference whether Guangyang was enfeoffed or Dingxiang was enfeoffed.
Cai Jing pondered for a while and said: "This problem is not big.
I can persuade the emperor, but when will you hand over the four states to the imperial court?"
Wu Yong shook his feather fan and said: "The handover of the government affairs of the four states is not a trivial matter.
As long as the imperial edict is issued, the imperial court can send troops to garrison within three months."
Cai Jing nodded and said: "Okay, I will go into the palace to meet with the Holy One later and ask him to issue the decree as soon as possible."
Wu Yong took out a piece of paper from his pocket and said: "General Po Liao canonizes the princes and has the right to open palaces and establish teeth.
This is the list of officials in the palace he has drawn up.
He also asked the grand master to ask the emperor to issue an imperial decree to canonize them when he arrives."
Cai Jing took it and took a look.
It was just a routine official position in the palace, such as chief historian, prime minister, joining the army, chief secretary and other official positions.
Although there were several names in it, Cai Jing looked familiar.
But the princes and counties were all sealed, and these petty officials didn't care at all.
Cai Jing put it in his pocket, nodded and said, "Yes."
Wu Yong hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Master Xie, I will go back and wait for the good news."
With the imperial edict in his arms, Wu Yong rode a fast horse and hurried back to Jeju under the protection of a hundred guards.
In the main hall of the Jeju government office, Wu Yong sat down, drank tea, and took a breath.
Not long after, Lin Chong rushed over after hearing the news.
As soon as he walked in, Lin Chong hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Long time no see, Mr.
Jialiang.
I don't know if Mr.
Jialiang is here today.
Could it be that the marshal has a mission?"
Wu Yong did not answer.
He took out the imperial edict from his arms and handed it to Lin Chong.
Lin Chong saw it and quickly took it and opened it.
Seeing the Emperor of the Song Dynasty conferring the marshal the title of Prince of Dingxiang County, Lin Chong's eyes widened and he said with disbelief: "Sir, this imperial edict is true."
Wu Yong nodded and said, "Of course it's true."
After hearing the affirmative reply, Lin Chong shouted excitedly, "Great, the marshal has been canonized as the county king.
Hahaha, I didn't expect that the foolish king was so wise.

He knew that the marshal had worked hard and made great achievements, so he specially made the marshal the county king."
Wu Yong shook his head and said: "General Lin, don't think too much.
The marshal exchanged the land of Jeju, Yizhou, Yanzhou, and Mizhou for the king of Dingxiang County and the Hunjun.
Otherwise, you think the Hunjun would be so kind. , can you confer the marshal as the county king?"
Lin Chong was shocked when he heard Wu Yong said that the prince of the county had to be exchanged for the four states.
He shouted angrily: "Mr.
Jialiang, these four states were bought with the lives of many generals.
How could they be discarded so easily?"
Wu Yong said hurriedly: "General Lin, I know it is not easy to capture these four states.
But you have to know that the marshal conquered Liaoyang Prefecture and captured Liaodong.
The Liao Kingdom will definitely not give up and will definitely send a large army to encircle and suppress it.
Next The Liao Kingdom may attack with all its strength, and then our army will face a Liao army of 700,000 to 800,000 people.
It was already difficult to deal with an army of nearly one million people.
If we dispersed the troops in two places and guarded the two countries at the same time, we would be in danger of destruction if we were not careful.
In view of this, the marshal decided to ask General Lin to lead the troops.
Liaoyang, gather all the strength of the army to fight against the Liao Kingdom.
Because of this, the marshal will return the land of the four states to the Song Dynasty in exchange for a title."
When Lin Chong heard this, his anger calmed down.
He said with some reluctance: "Even if we have to mobilize a large army to fight the Liao army, there is no need to hand over the four states."
Wu Yong shook his head and said: "Our army is going to fight the Liao Kingdom and needs a lot of supplies and food.
These need to be prepared from the Song Dynasty.
If the Song Dynasty knew that the marshal had transferred all the troops, do you think the Song Dynasty would be indifferent?
Once group If we attack these four states, it will be an open quarrel between the Song Dynasty and our army.
Then it will be difficult for our army to obtain supplies from the Song Dynasty.
Moreover, the remaining troops and horses will be stationed in several states.
General Lin feels that I Can the army hold on?"
Originally, there were only 30,000 troops stationed in Shandong.
If we wanted to fight the Liao army in a decisive battle, the more the better.
Otherwise, after defeating the Liao army, we will attack the city and seize the territory.
What troops and horses will we use to garrison the city?
But these 30,000 soldiers and horses have been mobilized.
How can it be possible to defend the four states with only two to three thousand soldiers and horses.
"This" Lin Chong was silent.
Wu Yong saw that Lin Chong was still a little unwilling, and he advised: "General Lin, don't worry, these four states are just temporarily handed over to the Song Dynasty for management.
As long as our army defeats the Liao army, we can defeat the opponent's forces.
By then.
Then our army can occupy the territory of Liao Kingdom.
Compared with the vast territory of the Liao Kingdom, the land of the four states is nothing.
The marshal’s territory is more important and more important.
General Lin must clearly distinguish it.”
After hearing Wu Yong's persuasion, Lin Chong finally understood why the marshal wanted to abandon these four states.
Gather strength, fight with the Liao Kingdom, then occupy the Liao Kingdom, and then annex the Song Dynasty Lin Chong thought that if the marshal wanted to conquer Jiuzhou in the future, he was afraid that the territory he would have to govern would be even larger.
Besides, when the marshal mobilized an army to go to Liaoyang, didn't he also have the opportunity to make achievements for himself?
It also saves me from sitting in the rear, wasting all my skills.
After thinking about it, Lin Chong hurriedly raised his hands and said: "If it weren't for the reminder from my husband, Lin Chong would have almost made a mistake.

I would have mobilized my troops and prepared to cross the sea to Liaoyang."
Wu Yong hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him: "Hold on, General Lin.
Not to mention that if the Liao Kingdom wants to gather hundreds of thousands, it will definitely take a lot of time.
And if we exchange these four states to the Song Dynasty, we can't get the advantage of the Song Dynasty in vain.
Song.
I have discussed with the Song Dynasty and will exchange these four states to the Song Dynasty after three months.
General Lin can take advantage of this time to take away all the warehouses, tax banks, etc. of the four states."
Lin Chong heard this and said with a smile: "Sir, don't worry, Lin Chong will save you."
Wu Yong cupped his hands and said, "In this case, I'll leave the transportation of supplies to General Lin.
I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first."
Lin Chong hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Send off to Mr."
On April 27, Wu Yong rushed back to Dengzhou.
In a room in a three-room courtyard not far from the Dengzhou government office, Zhang Yeshu and Zongze were sitting across from each other, holding hands and talking.
Although he is a prisoner, he still refuses to surrender.
However, Zhang Yeshu and Zongze were still treated politely by Shi Jin.
They were all placed in a courtyard in Dengzhou and could move freely within the city, but they would be followed by guards.
With their freedom restricted and nothing to do, Zhang Yeshu and Zongze often played chess to pass the time since they were captured.
Both of them are true gentlemen.
During the game, both parties must remain silent.
The room was silent except for the crisp sound when the chess pieces fell onto the board.
Just as the two of them were seriously thinking about their next move, a voice suddenly came from outside the room.
"Brother Zhang, Brother Zong, and Wu Yong are here to visit."
