Chapter 728 On the importance of hole cards
The King of Water Margin World Volume 1 Chapter 731 On the importance of the trump card? So Du Jia said slowly: "Brother Tian, don't be anxious. Although the number of your sons has been reported, it does not include your two illegitimate children. Do you want them to be buried with you? Then your Tian family is completely broken. Even if you die, will you be worthy of your ancestors in the nine springs?"
Tian Hu was stunned and asked, "This, how do you know that I have two illegitimate children?"
Du Jia smiled proudly: "There has never been a wall that is not airtight in the world, and there must be a brave man under the heavy reward. I don't talk nonsense. As long as you are willing to surrender, I can spare your two illegitimate children and send them to a safe place overseas. Otherwise, I don't care if you want to burn them all, but those two children will definitely be dead. If you can, Brother Tian will give you a happy word."
When Tian Hu heard this, he felt like he was ten years older and no longer had any energy. It turned out that he had "popular" many folk beauties and two illegitimate children. This time, he saw that the situation was critical, and he quietly sent them and their children and mothers to the countryside. This was also his last confidence. Unexpectedly, even this was controlled by Du Jia.
He didn't know that Du Jia regarded intelligence work as the most important thing, and even put it on military affairs. He spent a lot of manpower and material resources here, and asked the Gu Shangfa Shi Qian to be responsible for the collection of important figures and intelligence. Therefore, even this matter could not be hidden from him.
Seeing that the last card of his own was not effective, Tian Hu completely surrendered, he sat down and said dejectedly: "Brother Du really has the means of enlightenment. I am convinced, completely convinced. Then this matter will be as you said, but you must keep my two sons safe."
Du Jia said loudly: "Brother Tian, don't worry, I, Du Jia, have always been fulfilling my words. I have been in the world for so many years because of the word "loyality". Since everyone has reached an agreement, I will make the decision. Brother Tian, please go back and prepare."
There is no need to say much about this. Everyone is a superior and is still very courageous.
In this way, the two sides parted ways after going down the mountain and went back to their own houses. After Du Jia returned, he did not tell Tian Hu about his illegitimate child. He just told Su Taiwei and Tian Hu was willing to surrender, and there was no special request. He just hoped that he could let people from the family outside of the fifth server and leave him some decent on the way to the capital.
Du Jia naturally had his own considerations when doing this. First of all, there are more than 20,000 people in Weisheng Mansion, so it would be best if he doesn't force himself. As for Tian Hu's illegitimate son, he didn't even take Tian Hu seriously. Not to mention the two Huangkouru, let alone the illegitimate son, he would just give them some money to spend the rest of their lives safely.
Secondly, he didn't want the people in the court to know too much. He understood how stupid and pedantic Huizong and Cai Jingqiu Ge were. They would never let Tian Hu's children go - even if they were illegitimate children. On the one hand, they could eliminate the roots, and on the other hand, they could also reflect their sacredness and inviolability. Those who dare to rebel must be killed to serve as a warning.
As for how many subordinates will be killed or injured for their face and how much money and food will be wasted, that is not what they consider. They only care about the result.
Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Du Jiacai made this choice, which not only took care of the face of the emperors and ministers in the court, but also minimized the casualties of the soldiers. His intentions were not bad.
Su Taiwei was very happy when he heard this. As long as he could capture Tian Hu and the others and take back all the occupied prefectures, he would have completed the instructions of Emperor Huizong. The rewards of fame were no problem. He hurriedly expressed his gratitude to Du Jia again and again. Everyone was in harmony and waited for Tian Hu to surrender.
Tian Hu was very lawful because his two illegitimate sons were still under Du Jia's control at this time, and he didn't dare to do anything. Therefore, two days later, he opened the city gate and surrendered with his men.
Du Jia did not make things difficult for them, but locked up dozens of Tian Hu's family members who had already been on the blacklist, and the officers and soldiers escorted them to Beijing. The food and drink expenses along the way were not deducted. Anyway, they would not have much future.
As for the rest of the people, Du Jia drove them away, and then sent a large army to move into Weisheng Mansion directly, and then went to accept the rest of the places. The towns and counties were already in panic all day long, and when they saw that Lord Jin King surrendered, they were relieved and opened the door one by one to surrender.
In this way, the entire Jin State fell into the hands of the coalition forces. The war over the past six months finally ended successfully. Du Jia and Su Taiwei asked everyone to rest on the spot, and then they gave them a reward to the three armies, so that they could let go of their stomachs, and they could make them full with wine and meat, and all the three armies were happy.
The senior executives of both sides began to be busy dividing the spoils, and the money and goods were still under statistics. What both sides paid the most was the ownership of those cities. After all, land is what the superiors valued the most. Only with land can there be a population, only with people can there be people, only with people can there be wealth, only with soldiers can there be everything.
The two sides had already agreed before the war that the five prefectures and fifty-six counties of Jin State had another checkpoint and county, and the two sides had four and six points, the Song Dynasty took four and the Tang State had six, but they did not say at that time which cunning belonged to whom - after all, at that time everyone thought that Jin State was a giant, and it was still unknown whether it could be successfully attacked this time, and I didn't expect it to be so quickly.
The civil servants below the Taiwei Su began to quote the scriptures and wanted to gain the upper hand. In their opinion, the Tang Kingdom was already an affiliated force of the court, so naturally they should choose first.
Of course, the officials of the Tang Kingdom disagreed. Wu Yong shook the fan and smiled on his face, but his words were already verbal and he argued with the other party endlessly. Everyone knew that a sentence at this time meant a great difference in interests. After all, the size of these cities was completely different, just like Tokyo Bianliang and the border town were nominally cities, but the difference was not something that could not be planned.
At this time, Taiwei Su was also extremely embarrassed. From the bottom of his heart, he knew that the contribution of the Tang army in this coalition operation was definitely far greater than that of the officers and soldiers he brought. However, from the perspective of this, he naturally wanted to help the court gain more benefits, so he didn't know what to do for a while.
