Chapter 631 Mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself! [3rd update, please vote!]

Honestly, if Tanzhou hadn't been seized from the Jin army by Cai Fu, I would have been genuinely moved.

After all, Princess Tianshou wasn't even married yet, but her father-in-law had already given him two prefectures.

The problem is that Tanzhou was seized from the Jin army by Cai Fu.

Is it meaningful for Yelü Hui to give Cai Fu his things?

Of course, Cai Fu still had to give Yelü Hui some face, after all, Princess Tianshou was watching from the side.

Cai Fu chuckled and said, "Then thank you very much, father-in-law."

Princess Tianshou smiled sweetly beside her, and as soon as Attendant Dongxian left, she immediately threw herself into Cai Fu's arms:
Don't say anything, just kiss me!

Cai Fu practiced Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with Princess Tianshou for a while before being interrupted by "Divine Horse" Ma Ling.

Because Cai Fu was in Liao, which was too far from Qi and even further from Huaixi, he was worried about the rear, so he transferred Ma Ling from Mozhou to be his messenger.

Ma Ling can travel a thousand miles a day and is more useful than Dai Zong.

Ma Ling traveled through the Qi and Huaixi regions in a few days and returned to report the military situation to Cai Fu:

"Your Majesty, the Grand Commander of Huaixi has led 20,000 troops to attack King Yang Yao."

"They captured Jiangling Prefecture, Jingmen Army, and Yuezhou in succession, and together with Wang Zuo, they decisively defeated Dongting Lake..."

Good guy!
I'm a really good guy!

Cai Fu could hardly believe his ears; he never imagined his third brother had grown to this extent!

I had to mobilize so many troops to conquer just one state, while my third brother conquered three states with only 20,000 men!

Third brother, Shezhe!
Ma Ling added, "The Grand Commander sent someone to request reinforcements from within the country, and the General of the Garrison (Wu Song) has personally led troops to Huaixi."

Cai Fu nodded. Seventh Brother should go.

Yang Yao was no pushover; he had a multitude of fierce generals under his command, as well as two mages. In the original novel, even Yue Fei had a hard time defeating Yang Yao.

Ma Ling also said: "The imperial court appointed Song Jiang as the vanguard to conquer the southern kingdom. Now Song Jiang has captured Changzhou and is approaching Suzhou!"

"Upon learning the news, General Sun personally led his troops to cut off Song Jiang's retreat!"

Cai Fu frowned: "How dare this fat little black boy bully my wife?"

That being said, Cai Fu was not actually worried about the Southern Kingdom.

After all, in the original story, Song Jiang gathered 108 heroes, and more than half of them died or were injured in the battle against the Southern Kingdom.

Besides, Song Jiang only has a handful of men under his command right now. How much luck would it take for him to conquer the Southern Kingdom?

However, the Jin army had already retreated, and with so many things to do at home, Cai Fu no longer wanted to stay in Liao.

"Brother, only more than 20,000 Jin soldiers surrendered; more than 20,000 others would rather die than surrender."

Lu Junyi asked Cai Fu, "What should be done with these more than 20,000 people?"

Cai Fu said without hesitation, "Kill them all."

"hiss--"

Gongsun Sheng couldn't help but gasp:
"Your Majesty, killing them all might... offend the heavens!"

"When Jin Gou came to Cangzhou to raid the grasslands, did he ever think about how he was offending the people?"

"When the Jin dogs slaughtered the people of Tanzhou, did they ever consider that it was against the will of Heaven?"

Cai Fu was both answering him and telling everyone present:

"To be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself!"

"When two countries are at war, it is a matter of life and death. We should seize every opportunity to eliminate the enemy's manpower in order to defend our own territory!"

"Haven't you heard of the benevolence of Song Xiang?"

Gongsun Sheng was speechless.

However, Gongsun Sheng did not consider leaving Cai Fu because of his cruelty towards the enemy.

In fact, Gongsun Sheng had long ago made up his mind to follow Cai Fu, the chosen one, to achieve great things.

Having gained this great merit, Gongsun Sheng was able to break through his cultivation level and reach the level of his master, Master Luo.

They can be considered terrestrial immortals, and can attain eternal life!
So Lu Junyi ordered the massacre of the 20,000 Jin soldiers who refused to surrender, and built a mound of corpses.

The 20,000 surrendered Jin soldiers were organized into the "criminal army" by Cai Fu, and led by two fierce generals, Lin Chong and Du Xue. Lin Chong and Du Xue were very excited, as this meant that they had finally become important generals under Cai Fu.

Cai Fu then appointed Gao Chong as the General Commander of Tanzhou.

However, because Gao Chong was still young and needed to stay with Cai Fu, Zong Ze took over as his leader.

Wang Jin was appointed as the deputy commander-in-chief.

He then left Xiang Chong and Li Gun as deputy generals, along with 10,000 elite troops.

Because Tanzhou was an exclave, Cai Fu assigned Zong Ze a force of 30,000 men.

The remaining number were supplemented by selecting from the local Han Chinese.

From now on, they will be called "Qi people".

"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty!"

Zong Ze was so moved that he knelt down before Cai Fu, never expecting that Cai Fu would entrust Tanzhou to him.
"This humble general will certainly do his duty to the utmost, even unto death!"

Wang Jin was so excited he almost cried. You have to understand that he was still a frustrated military man in Yan'an Prefecture.

He had only been with Cai Fu for a short time, yet Cai Fu had already entrusted him with important responsibilities. He wished he could give Cai Fu his heart.

Cai Fu's choice was certainly deliberate; he intended for Zong Ze to fight against the Song army, but Zong Ze would likely only go through the motions without putting in any real effort.

But if Zong Ze were to fight against the alien race, wouldn't he be like he'd been injected with chicken blood?

Historically, Zong Ze shouted "Cross the river!" three times before dying of depression. This time, Cai Fu let him have a good fight!
Wang Jin was once the instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Guards in Tokyo, and it was the perfect opportunity to select and train new recruits.

After some thought, Cai Fu transferred Li Ying, Du Xing, and Ma Ling from Mozhou to Tanzhou.

The leadership team in Mozhou is sufficient, but Tanzhou has to face both the Liao and Jin kingdoms simultaneously, so its leadership team must be highly capable.

Because of Li Ying's excellent performance in Mozhou, he gained the approval of Zhang Shuye and Shi Wengong.

Cai Fu appointed Li Ying as the prefect of Tanzhou. Li Ying was so happy to receive the transfer order that he grinned from ear to ear.

After making arrangements in Tanzhou, Cai Fu led his army south.

……

Hangzhou.

"Your Highness—"

Lu Shinang, the Privy Councilor of the Eastern Hall, with disheveled hair and tattered clothes, rushed to Fang Tianding and knelt down:
"I have lost Suzhou, I deserve to die a thousand deaths..."

Fang Tianding: "Aba aba!"

Lü Shinang then remembered that Fang Tianding was not only blind but also mute; he had essentially been flirting with a blind man.

"Privy Councilor Lü, what has happened?"

General Shi Bao of Nanli asked on behalf of Fang Tianding.

Although Fang Tianding was both blind and mute, he could still hear.

Lu Shinang sighed deeply: "It's like this, blah blah blah..."

Lu Shinang, who was originally stationed in Runzhou, was transferred to Suzhou by Cai Fu and lived a comfortable life in Suzhou with the "Twelve Gods of Jiangnan".

Who knew that Song Jiang would attack, first capturing Changzhou, and then Suzhou!
Shi Bao asked in surprise, "Prime Minister Lü, you have the Twelve Gods of Jiangnan under your command, and you also have 50,000 troops guarding Suzhou!"
"How could we have been defeated by Song Jiang?"

As soon as Lü Shinang spoke, tears welled up in his eyes. It turned out that Song Jiang had disguised himself as a merchant and infiltrated the city.

At night, Song Jiang and his men committed murder and arson everywhere, causing panic and fear throughout Suzhou!

Qin Ming's spiked club was huge and thick, and he killed four generals in succession: He Tong, Shen Bian, Ying Ming, and Shen Ze!
Only eight of the "Twelve Gods of Jiangnan" remain!

Lü Shumi had no choice but to flee Suzhou with the remaining "Eight Gods of Jiangnan," all the way to Hangzhou...

"Aba Aba!"

Fang Tianding understood, and slapped his thigh in anger!
Shi Bao quickly explained to Fang Tianding:

"Your Highness, please don't misunderstand. Song Jiang and the Prince Consort parted ways long ago!"
"This matter has absolutely nothing to do with the prince consort!"
