When news of Yue Fei's victory over Nguyen Khanh Ha at the Phu Luong River reached Thang Long, Li Yanghuan was still enjoying himself with the beauties in the palace. Young people are physically strong and full of energy.
But the ministers couldn't sit still; they didn't go to the emperor.
In their minds, the newly enthroned emperor was an idiot.
They went to find Zhang Boyu, who was now the most powerful person in the Jiaozhi court. He must have a way to repel the enemy, otherwise he would not have been so determined to fight.
But when the ministers rushed to Zhang Boyu's residence, Zhang Boyu told them to calm down, saying that they still had 100,000 troops stationed outside the city, and that if Yue Fei dared to come, they would kill him!
Just imagine! Ten thousand blades! That would leave Yue Fei with not even a bone fragment!
Everyone, go back and wash up and go to sleep now, don't worry.
The ministers had just left Zhang Boyu's residence when he immediately packed his valuables and sent another letter to Yue Fei, indicating that he would cooperate with Yue Fei in a coordinated attack from within and without.
After Yue Fei showed the letter to Zhang Jun, Zhang Jun only said one sentence: Be careful, it might be a trap!
On this day, Zhang Boyu ordered his men to summon all the senior generals of the army stationed outside the city.
There were ten senior generals, each commanding ten thousand troops.
They can be considered the last elite troops of Jiaozhi.
These ten senior generals originally thought that the prime minister had summoned them to discuss important military and national affairs and how to resist the Song army.
But to his surprise, after putting down his sword and entering the palace, he was captured.
The ten people were completely baffled when they were sent to the execution ground, and then the imperial edict was issued.
capital offense!
Execute him immediately!
The reason given was that he was a traitor who plotted to kill the emperor and rebel!
These ten people inexplicably lost their heads.
Subsequently, Zhang Boyu hung the heads of these ten men on the city wall and sent his trusted confidants to take over their command in the army.
In order to avoid making the treason so obvious, Zhang Boyu even declared in the court that he was determined to fight the Song dogs to the death, even if it cost him his life, to drive the Song dogs out of Jiaozhi and restore peace and prosperity to the people.
For a time, all the court officials said that Prime Minister Zhang had the style of Zhuge Liang.
But the men Zhang Boyu sent only did two things in the army: demoralize the troops and drink alcohol!
In order to gain Yue Fei's favor, Zhang Boyu wrote another letter to Yue Fei, detailing everything he had done for the Song Dynasty.
He also expressed in an extremely sorrowful tone that his ancestors were actually Chinese, that he had never forgotten that he was also Chinese, and that he dreamed of the Wang army marching south to recover the lost territory so that he could return to his homeland as soon as possible.
Zhang Jun was shocked when he saw the letter.
To sell out one's country to this extent, this Prime Minister Zhang is truly remarkable!
Zhang Jun's heart skipped a beat. The Great Song Dynasty really needed someone like this to quickly reclaim Jiaozhi and gain a foothold!
Therefore, he wrote a letter to Zhang Boyu in his capacity as the Imperial Pacification Commissioner.
Zhang Boyu had written many letters to Yue Fei, but he was very disappointed because Yue Fei had not replied to a single one of them.
It's like a young girl in heat writing many letters to her beloved, but he doesn't reply to a single one.
Zhang Boyu was so anxious that he lost all interest in playing with women. He sat at home every day thinking about whether he should immediately escape from Thang Long City and go to Srivijaya.
Or they could travel across the ocean to overseas, since they had plenty of gold and silver.
But on this day, a letter finally arrived from the Song army.
This made Zhang Boyu extremely happy.
When he opened it, he first looked at the signature, and was so happy he almost jumped for joy.
Holy crap! It's the Pacification Commissioner of Jiaozhi from the Great Song Dynasty!
Isn't this my future boss?!
Zhang Boyu was overjoyed to have found such a treasure. He read every single word carefully and was so moved that he almost burst into tears, as if he were truly a person from the Song Dynasty.
So Zhang Boyu used the shortest amount of time to completely destroy the 100,000-strong garrison.
Scrapping him didn't mean he was simply dismissed. After all, Zhang Boyu was a scholar and the prime minister of the court. He still had to save face. Even if he was betraying the country, he had to do it in a way that made everyone think he was a hero!
It's the same old routine: constant drinking in the army, followed by bragging and fighting. Anyone who dares to train the sergeants is damned and deserves to die!
Do you think the soldiers of my Great Yue Kingdom are incompetent?! Shouting about training! You just think the soldiers of my Great Yue Kingdom are incompetent!
You actually look down on us?
We beat Cambodia and Champa to a pulp, and you dare to look down on our own people!
Kill him! Kill him!
Then, everyone entered a very magical state.
I'm awesome, I don't need training, Song Gou will be scared away by our domineering aura soon!
Seeing that he had ruined the army, Zhang Boyu started writing letters again.
If the Song army still does not agree to his surrender this time, he will immediately flee Jiaozhi and go to Srivijaya, a place the Song army does not want to go.
Zhang Jun wrote this letter with great admiration, and Zhang Boyu felt as if he had found his first love. He laughed happily, like a despicable, shameless reptile.
After learning about the situation of the Jiaozhi army, Yue Fei deliberately sent Wang Gui with 500 men to harass the enemy in order to be on the safe side. However, he did not expect that the harassment would result in the killing of 2,000 enemy soldiers!
When the people below ran back, they were all incredibly excited, as if they had been injected with adrenaline.
To prevent this from being a trap, Yue Fei sent Wang Gui with 500 men to harass the enemy.
This time, they killed even more—three thousand people!
According to Wang Gui, these people were no different from ordinary civilians. They would scatter when attacked and run away, but they couldn't run fast enough and were just waiting to be killed.
