Chapter 692

His snoring was quiet, so the big shots in the hall who were busy debating naturally couldn't hear him.

But the colleagues around him heard it all, and some people couldn't bear to hear it any longer. They stretched out their hands across the case and slapped Jia She on the shoulder: "Brother Ji Chuan, what are you doing, Brother Ji Chuan! Don't seek death!"

Jia She was awakened suddenly, turned his head to look left and right, inadvertently, a few coins in his hand fell to the ground, rolling on the stone slab, making a crisp sound.

Jia She immediately jumped up.His robe sleeves stretched out like a crane, and he lunged forward, clutching a few coins in his hands again.When everyone was sitting still in a daze, this action was too conspicuous, and the few officials who had good friends with him all sweated for him.

The three big figures above should have also seen his sudden movement, but none of them said anything.So Jia She calmly returned to his seat, and not long after, he started snoring again.

Did this guy do it on purpose?
The surrounding officials were in shock and couldn't understand what Jia She was doing at all.On Jia She's drooping face, there was only a slight sneer.

When Jia She was young, he ran around for ten years to clear up his father's grievances. After he was 30 years old, he finally became an official.

After more than ten years, although he has not forgotten his ambition, he has become more realistic.In his eyes, if people live in this world, if there is any trouble, it is nothing more than two reasons: one is lack of money, and the other is lack of power.So in his actions over the years, he has been focusing more and more on two goals: the first priority is to make money, and the second priority is to get promoted.

Whether it is making money or getting promoted, if you want to be safe and comfortable, there is a common secret, that is to have a bright eye, seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.You can do things for your superiors, but you must never get involved in the vortex of political confrontation among the big figures above; you must firmly hold your position on the chessboard, and you must never be easily ordered by others, let alone bind yourself with a certain chess piece. .

Cui Yuzhi is a real gentleman, so he became the cold one in the chess game.

He was independent of the influence of Shi Xiang in the court, and he naturally gathered a group of supporters by virtue of his status as a master of Confucianism. Shi Xiang seemed to give him an official bestowal, mainly hoping to establish himself as a celebrity by virtue of Cui Yuzhi's reputation The reputation of a virtuous minister actually did not regard him as a useful person at all.

Li Jue was the representative of scholars from Fuzhou and Mingzhou in the court.This gentleman has always had a tough stance towards the Kingdom of Jin. He has repeatedly advocated the abolition of the old coin and the severance of diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of Jin. He was particularly keen on reorganizing the army and military affairs during his tenure, as if he would be successful.But Jia She could see clearly that this person was actually an idler with a bleak future.

He always sang against Shi Xiang in court, and crazily flattered Shi Xiang in his daily official business and private contacts.Perhaps he himself thought that this kind of demeanor would be suitable for both ends, but in fact it was reserved by Shi Xiang for a long time.The only function is that it was specifically mentioned when the relationship between Song and Jin was tense, so as to show that the Prime Minister had far-sightedness and long ago had the heart to break with Jin.

Li Jue is an idler, Ying Chunzhi is even more miserable, he can be said to be an outcast.

After the appointment of this envoy who knows Chuzhou and Jingdong Economic Strategy, he tried to lure the red coat army on the east and west roads of Shanxi today, contacted the navy fleet of Dinghai tomorrow, and secretly went to the territory of Jin Kingdom, north of Huaiyin County, the day after tomorrow. Qinghekou dispatched troops, intending to create a fait accompli of opening up territories.

But in fact, he was just sent by the real big shots in the imperial court to use him as a tester. If the things he did succeed, it would naturally be the result of strategizing by the superiors. , Not only will he be dismissed from office, he may even lose his head.

Jia She felt that Jin Kingdom still has fierce powerful ministers in power, it's not that they are weak and can be bullied, Ying Chun will probably be defeated.

All three of them were Jia She's superiors, and Jia She also handled affairs for them.

He stood up for Cui Yuzhi and appeased the merchants and trackers along the canal, thereby ensuring the stability of the place; he contacted the guards of the Sizhou market in the Kingdom of Jin for Li Jue, and assisted in finding out the details of Nanjing Road in the Kingdom of Jin; Ying Chunzhi made an appointment to meet the fleet leaders of the Ding Navy, and also made many promises to certain leaders on Ying Chunzhi's behalf, and gave thousands of bribes in one go.

Get things done for the few of them, but you can't really tie them too deeply.At this moment, in the current history, I should have heard of my reputation, Jia Jichuan, so I should get out of Huaidong and see what a bright future I can have there.

The amount of money he has accumulated in his hands over the past few months is huge, and even if some of it is scattered one after another, the rest will be enough to bribe many people and make friends with many people.The network of contacts bought with money is of course unreliable, but as long as you follow the trend and ask someone for a small recommendation at the critical moment, you can leap into the dragon's door, become a bigger official, and make more money!

In contrast, what is there to love about this quagmire in Huaidong?
For some reason, Jia She has always been a little restless these days, as if something troublesome is about to happen.Three days ago, the spies heard news from the north that there were signs of the Shandong Jin army gathering. He sensed the dangerous atmosphere and became more anxious to leave Chuzhou.In the past few days, he jumped up and down, deliberately acting inappropriately, just to make some important person jump violently and kick him back to Lin'an.

It's a pity that these three are really worthy of being the famous and capable ministers of this dynasty, all of them have extraordinary bearing, and no one has raised their feet until now.

Just as Jia She was thinking of this, the first group of messengers outside the hall rushed back on flying horses.Everyone's face was covered with dust, and some people's trouser legs were stained with blood. It was not the result of the battle, but the horse's fast riding, and the two legs were worn out by the saddle.

"How come so many people come back at the same time?"

"Could it be that the Jin army in the north has really gone south?"

All the officials in the hall turned pale with shock, and asked questions one after another, causing a commotion.

"Really! It's really going south!" The messengers replied repeatedly: "We saw it with our own eyes!"

"Scholar Cui, Li Xuanfu, and Ying Jinglue, the Shandong Golden Army Brigade started from Qushan, Haizhou, and kept going south. It passed Shuoxiang Lake three days ago!"

"The Jin army continued to go south, and suddenly appeared on the north bank of Lianshui two days ago!"

"Yesterday night, thousands of cavalry suddenly raided Qinghekou. The hundreds of people camped at Qinghekou were caught off guard and fled immediately!"

"The main force of the Golden Army is heading straight to Chuzhou day and night!"

Cui Yuzhi asked, "How many troops are there in the Jin army? Have you ever found out?"

"There are at least [-] cavalry in the front, and the main force in the back is over [-]. The momentum is huge! Chuzhou is in danger!"

"Huaiyin is in danger! Lianshui is also in danger! The Jin army is divided into three groups, heading west to Huaiyin and besieging Lianshui all the way!"

There was a great chaos in the hall, and both civil and military personnel were eclipsed.

Cui Yuzhi glared at Li Jue and Ying Chunzhi, opened his mouth, and finally restrained himself from yelling. Instead, he hurried down to the front of the hall, and grabbed a messenger who came to report: "The chief general of the Jin army is who?"

"Pioneer Qianqi rides under the banner of Yanning. The brigade is at the back, the chief general is Monk Luo who is in Yidu, and there are many generals accompanying him under the banner. From the looks of it, the deputy general is Jinan Yinchang."

The reputation of these generals has been heard by the civil and military forces of Chuzhou, and they know that all of them are titans who started with Guo Ning of the Ding Navy.This generation is indeed reckless and powerful, without the slightest bit of solemnity of a general of the country, and has no scruples in his actions!Sure enough, the entire Ding Navy is just like what Sui Wang Wanyan Shouxu said in Nanjing, they are a bunch of lunatics, a group of strong thieves!
The military situation is urgent, and Li Jue's expression is also shaken.

Ying Chunzhi was calmer, and said in a deep voice, "It's autumn and winter when the water is dry, so it's not difficult for the enemy to cross the river. Once they cross the river, they will be less than ten miles away from my city of Chuzhou. I will immediately arrange for the defense of the city. Everyone You don’t have to stay with me in the city anymore, please go back to your garrisons as soon as possible, if you can remember to arrange troops to rescue, I will be grateful!”

As soon as the words came out, everyone agreed, even Cui Yuzhi nodded slightly, admiring Ying Chunzhi's courage.

But Jia She would not hesitate to make a gesture.Hearing that the moment the Jin army went south, the people in front of the hall were in chaos, and he took this opportunity to rush out without touching the ground, holding his robe feet.

The people outside asked one after another: "This official... this county magistrate, who is paying attention inside? The Jin people in the north are really going south? Isn't that a rumor? Are we peace? War? Defense? Go?"

Where did Jia She have time to pay attention.

He took his own horse, beat it with a whip, and led a few men out of the south gate of Chuzhou in a row, heading for Baoying County.

When he rode his horse and galloped, he admired his own foresight.Fortunately, in Baoying County, all the luggage and money have been packaged, and the vehicles and horses are also ready-made, so there is no delay!Even the city has been repaired... I must be worthy of the people in the city!
