Do you have the strength to force me to join the Liangshan bandits?

Chapter 671 Yelü Hui: What a fine son-in-law! [2 Updates]

In the Jin army camp, Cai Fu sat imposingly in the central command tent, eating the snacks that Nianhan hadn't had a chance to touch.

Although the Jin Dynasty was not as resource-scarce as the Song Dynasty, Nianhan, as the crown prince, still ate quite well.

"Big brother, I'm back!"

Guan Shenglai reported to Cai Fu:

"The imperial court appointed Gao Qiu as the commander-in-chief and summoned military commanders from eight prefectures!"
"Each military commander leads 5,000 men, plus another 10,000 men taken away when passing through Hejian Prefecture, for a total of 50,000 troops!"
"With the help of my fifth brother (Shi Wengong), I scattered the 40,000 troops of the Eighth Military Command!"

"More than 5,000 heads were cut off, and more than 30,000 soldiers surrendered. The heads of the eight commanders were handed over!"
"After that, my brother charged into the Song army camp!"
"More than 800 were beheaded, and more than 9,000 soldiers surrendered, along with countless weapons, provisions, armor, warhorses, and supplies!"

"Gao Qiu has disappeared without a trace..."

Cai Fu: "Did you get it?"

"I think I've finally gotten the answer."

Guan Sheng told Cai Fu what he had extracted from the prisoners' mouths:

"After Gao Qiu summoned the eight commanders, he colluded with the Jin Kingdom, infiltrated the Liao Kingdom, and sent spies to monitor Cangzhou!"
"When our army marched towards Yanjing, Gao Qiu also led 50,000 troops to Yanjing!"
"Take advantage of our army's surprise attack on the Jin troops and launch a surprise attack on our army..."

"Humph!"

Cai Fu handed Guan Sheng a pastry:
"It seems my father-in-law has had too many good days."

Where is Wang Heng?

"Horse Queen" Wang Heng hurriedly stepped forward and clasped his hands in greeting:
"The general is here!"

"Take my badge with you to welcome the reinforcements from Qingzhou."

Cai Fu handed the waist token to Wang Heng:
"Pass on my order that they need not come over, but wait for me at the border."

Wang Heng took the waist token and ran off in a flash.

Guan Sheng, who had long slept side-by-side with Cai Fu, immediately understood what Cai Fu was planning:
"Brother, do you intend to invade Bianjing?"

Cai Fu nodded: "If you don't discipline someone for three days, they'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles!"

"It's time to teach that emperor father-in-law a lesson!"

"Ah this..."

Guan Sheng was speechless for a moment:

That's incredibly treasonous!

Let's teach the emperor father-in-law a lesson and show him what it means to be disloyal and without respect for the emperor!

However, in retrospect, it was Emperor Huizong who acted inhumanely first, so we can only blame him for being blind to talent!

She could have lived a peaceful old age if she had just pleased her son-in-law, but she had to court death!

A short while later, Lu Junyi, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, and Yue Fei entered together.

Lu Junyi, representing the group, said: "Brother, the inventory is complete!"

"The Jin Dog, along with the six kingdoms and three rivers, has beheaded more than 30,000 people!"

"There were more than 50,000 wounded soldiers and prisoners of war, of which more than 30,000 were surrendered soldiers!"
"There are still over 20,000 gold dogs who would rather die than surrender!"

"Rather die than surrender?"

Cai Fu scoffed, "Then I'll grant their wish!"

Each person was given a shortbread to stave off hunger. Cai Fu then asked, "Did the Liao soldiers really not move a single soldier?"

Lu Zhishen angrily said, "The city gates aren't even open!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

Cai Fu sneered:
"It seems my father-in-law has been having too many good days!"

"Since that's the case, we should teach him a lesson!"

"Tell the brothers to hurry up and have some dry rations first, and I'll treat them to a good meal later!"

"After we finish eating, let's go to Yanjing!"
"Take the surrendered soldiers with you, and also take all those who would rather die than surrender!"

When Lu Junyi and Lu Zhishen saw Cai Fu's murderous look, they immediately became more energetic:

My older brother is going to become my father-in-law!

Stimulate!

……

Yanjing.

Yelü Hui, the wolf-ruler of the Liao Kingdom, was filled with unease and couldn't help but summon Yelü Dehua, who was on the city wall, again:

"My dear nephew, has the Jin army made any move?"

Yelü Dehua reported truthfully: "After the Jin soldiers hastily withdrew, shouts of battle continued to come from the direction of the Jin camp!"
"It lasted for a full half hour, and it's only just now that it's quieted down..." "Hmm..."

Yelü Hui frowned and remained silent.

At this moment, the Left Chancellor, Youxi Bojin, cautiously reminded him:

"Wolf Lord, could it really be the Qi army...?"

"No way?"

Yelü Hui frowned and shook his head:

"Didn't Minister Dongxian say that there wasn't enough time?"

"What if the Qi army only has the strength of one province..."

Youxi Bojin also found it impossible at this point:

There are 500,000 Jin soldiers here. A province has at most 30,000 troops. What can 30,000 men do?
Perhaps it really is a ploy to lure the snake out of its hole...

Just then, Yelü Dehua's elder brother, Yelü Derong, rushed in to report:

"Wolf Lord, something terrible has happened!"

Yelü Hui's heart tightened: "What's wrong?"

"The prince consort has colluded with the Jin dynasty!"

Yelü Derong said in a panic:

"I saw the Qi army and the Jin army charging towards us from the city wall!"

"what?"

Yelü Hui could hardly believe his ears:

"Isn't the prince consort here to save me?"

Yelü Derong said with a mournful face:

"Absolutely true. How could I not recognize the armor of the Jin soldiers?"
"The two sides combined have at least 100,000 troops, and they are probably already at the city gates!"

"Ah this..."

Yelü Hui was both shocked and furious: "That beast!"
"I have betrothed the princess to him and also granted him the prefectures of Mo and Tan!"
"Is this how he repays me?"

Right Chancellor and Grand Tutor Chu Jian hurriedly advised Yelü Hui:
"Lord Wolf, let's go up to the city wall and see for ourselves first..."

"Humph!"

Yelü Derong gave him a disapproving look:
"What do you mean by that, Grand Tutor? Would I deceive the Wolf Lord?"

"Shut up! Talking nonsense, you have no manners!"

Yelü Hui glared at Yelü Derong before nodding and smiling at Chu Jian:
"Grand Tutor is right. Let's go up to the city wall and see for ourselves."

So Yelü Hui, along with Youxi Bojin and Chu Jian, left the palace under the protection of Yelü Derong and Yelü Dehua, and soon they arrived at the city gate tower.

Before they arrived, Wuyan Guang, Ouyang Shilang, Dongxian Shilang, Yelü Dezhong, Yelü Dexin, and others were already on the city wall.

Yelü Hui peered down through the crevice and couldn't help but gasp in horror:
Good heavens! The prince consort has really colluded with the Jin Dynasty!

It turned out that there were indeed at least 100,000 troops under the city walls, half of whom were Qi soldiers and the other half were clearly Jin soldiers!
How can this be good?

The civil and military officials looked at each other in bewilderment, while Wuyan Guang, clinging to the battlements, shouted loudly:

"Please, Your Highness, step forward and answer—"

Suddenly, the vast army parted, and like stars surrounding the moon, a group of fierce generals escorted Cai Fu out.

He wore a golden helmet and armor, a blood-red cloak, a whirlwind blade in his hand, and rode a fiery dragon steed. He was handsome and awe-inspiring!

Yelü Hui praised the son-in-law, but unfortunately, the father-in-law and son-in-law have become enemies.

"What a fine son-in-law!"

Yelü Hui asked through gritted teeth, "Have you come to save me or to kill me?"

Cai Fu sneered: "What a fine father-in-law!"
"Do you want me to come and save you, or do you want me to come and die?"

Yelü Hui's heart sank: "What do you mean by that?"

"My two brothers-in-law, Yelü Guozhen and Yelü Guobao, have come to me begging for your help, saying that you, father-in-law, are trapped in Yanjing by 500,000 Jin soldiers and are in imminent danger!"

Cai Fu's loud voice carried clearly throughout the city and its surroundings as he declared confidently:

"At that time, I was in Cangzhou attending my brother Yue Fei's wedding!"
"Upon learning that his father-in-law was in trouble, for the sake of the princess, the son-in-law rushed from the wedding to his rescue!"

"But what did your father-in-law do?"
