Guo Tiannu was stunned and glanced in the direction of Zhao Kai's finger. The sky above the river embankment was empty, which was considered a bright spot. Looking at Zhao Kai again, the coward king had a sincere smile on his face, and he seemed to have no ill intentions, so he nodded: "Your Majesty, lead the way."
Zhao Kai said "please", then rode forward and rode towards the height of his finger. His bodyguard wanted to follow, but was stopped by him with a wave of his hand, and they just rode away alone. Guo Tiannu also followed Zhao Kai up the Yellow River embankment alone.
It has been more than 40 years since the Yellow River diverted its course to the north. Due to the continuous accumulation of sediment and the continuous construction of dams, the Yellow River in Damingfu is now a suspended river. However, the "hanging" is not as high as that of the river section in Kaifeng Prefecture, and now is the time when the ice is frozen in winter and the water is shallow, so the wide river embankment has become a line relative to the ice surface of the Yellow River and the land under the river embankment. Long high slope. Zhao Kai and Guo Tiannv are now standing side by side on it, admiring the scenery of frozen snow on both sides of the Yellow River, and talking quietly.
"Ms. Guo, can you take off your veil and let me see your beauty?"
Guo Tiannu was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect Zhao Kai to make such a request, but after hesitating for a moment, she raised her hand and took off the veil covering her face, revealing her pretty face. With an oval face, thin lips, big eyes, slender eyebrows, and fair skin, she is quite pretty.
Zhao Kai compared her with Zhu Fengying and Pan Cailian. The three of them were actually between brothers, and each had their own style. The phoenix is graceful, the lotus is graceful, and the goddess is tall and beautiful.
Thinking of this, Zhao Kai sighed: "Mrs. Guo is such a beautiful woman, but she is walking in the army. No wonder she has to cover her face with a veil."
Guo Tiannv smiled, revealing two shallow dimples, "We hide our faces not because we are afraid that our subordinates will see them, but because we are afraid that the wind and sun will ruin our faces. Our sons and subordinates are all Dong family soldiers, because my late husband You have no children, so you follow us to struggle to survive in this troubled world... As a king of the Southern Dynasty, you will not understand the pain of a broken family!"
"But I understand..." Zhao Kai sighed, "Although I was born in an emperor's family, I have been lonely since I was a child. My parents are not around, so I have to take care of two old people. Now they are all gone." No more…”
He was talking about the loneliness of his previous life, not his experience in this life. However, Guo Tiannv didn't know how happy the life of the "real Zhao Kai" was. Seeing his painful expression, she actually felt a little sympathetic.
Zhao Kai let out another long sigh. He had put away his sadness and showed a smile again. He said with a smile: "To be honest with Madam Guo, the solitary king has now lost contact with Kaifeng Mansion. There has been no news for several days. I don't know Madam Guo." Do you know the situation in Kaifeng Mansion? Can you inform the lonely king?"
Guo Tiannv nodded and said: "It's okay to tell you that the 3,000 riders led by our brother Guo Anguo crossed the Yellow River on the ice on the eighth day of the lunar month. There was no garrison in Huazhou on the other side of the Yellow River. Anguo's gains. On the ninth day of the lunar month, Anguo's troops continued to advance toward Kaifeng, and did not stop until they reached Chenqiaoyi. The Jin soldiers led by Prince Langjun stepped on the ice one after another on the eighth, ninth, and thirteenth days. Across the river, on the 13th day of the first lunar month, Prince Langjun entered Chenqiaoyi. On the 14th and 15th days, he sent troops to plunder the four villages of Kaifeng and gained a lot. We don’t know what will happen after the 15th day."
"Can the Song army leave Kaifeng City to fight against Prince Langjun?" Zhao Kai asked again.
"They didn't go to war," Guo Tiannu said. "The Song army just gathered in Kaifeng. Except for the troops stationed at Hanfang Garden, Jinmingchi, Qingcheng Palace and Yichun Garden, no one left the city. The cities around Kaifeng also They all had no soldiers to defend them, so they were defeated a lot by the Prince Langjun's troops."
"Alas," Zhao Kai sighed, "Since ancient times, the isolated city has not been defended, not to mention that Tokyo has a population of one million, but there are countless grain stores... The prince Langjun is trapped and does not fight, which can take at least half a year, or more. In October, Tokyo can be conquered without a fight!”
Guo Tiannv smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. The Crown Prince really has no intention of destroying the Southern Dynasty. If the officials are willing to give another 30 million in goods and 3 million longevity coins, the Crown Prince will surely withdraw his troops."
Zhao Kai shook his head, "My father can't give you that much!"
Guo Tiannu was stunned, "How could it be? Is it possible that there isn't that much money in Kaifeng City?"
Zhao Kai sighed and said: "Although there are 30 million in wealth in Kaifeng City, no one can make the decision to give that much wealth to the Jinren."
"Can't the officials make the decision?" Guo Tiannv asked.
"No!" Zhao Kai said, "My father has long been controlled by the ministers of the war faction. In the twelfth lunar month of last year, my father wanted to give the throne to my brother, and then avoided Huai and Zhejiang, but the result was no good. Success, now how can we finance the enemy with 30 million treasures? Moreover, there are 100,000 forbidden troops in Kaifeng City. If the city has strong men, 300,000 defenders can also be obtained. With the strength of Kaifeng City, plus 300,000 defenders, the gold How can the army break the city?"
"You just said that Kaifeng's food supply will last until October at most. Why are you saying now that the city cannot be breached?"
Zhao Kai explained: "If the prince is trapped in the city until October, Kaifeng will be able to break it. But how much money will a 300,000-strong army consume in a month? The soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty are all well-maintained... The 300,000-strong army will be In front of the enemy, at least 1.5 million was spent in January, and 15 million was lost in October.
In addition, to recruit 200,000 young men, you also need to provide them with housing materials, at least 20 strings for each young man, which costs another 4 million! By the time the city is destroyed in October, the imperial treasury may have lost 10 million yuan. How will it get 30 million yuan? "
"This..." Guo Tiannv frowned slightly, already hearing that something was wrong, "Why did the king say something to our family?"
"Because the lonely king wants to ask Madam Guo and Guo Liushou to bring a message to the prince!"
"What?" Guo Tiannu was stunned and looked at Zhao Kai.
Zhao Kai said with a sly smile: "As long as the lonely king can go further...the lonely king can try to raise 30 million wealth for Dai Jin, and the lonely king can also give 3 million longevity coins to Dai Jin!
The lonely king can also cede the Hedong land and Yanshan Mansion owned by the Northern Han Dynasty to Dajin Shangguo!
The lonely king can still serve the great Jin Emperor as his father! "
"You..." Guo Tiannu was already stunned by Zhao Kai's words!
This person is so shameless! In order to become the emperor, he not only promised to give the Jin people 30 million and 3 million longevity coins, but also promised to cede the land east of the river, and also recognized the Jin Emperor as his father... You are almost catching up with Shi Jingtang!
When Zhao Kai saw Guo Tiannu's astonished face, he knew that his plan was about to succeed, so he redoubled his efforts, looked at Guo Tiannu and said, "Ms. Guo, if this can be done, I won't be alone." I'm sorry to you and Guo Liushou...Gu, if I were the emperor, I would definitely marry you as my queen. How about we sit on the dragon's bed and rule the world together?"
"You, you..." Guo Tiannu suddenly blushed when Zhao Kai, the shameless King Yun of the Song Dynasty, said this. She held it in for a long time before saying, "You want to be infamy for thousands of years, why bother even a little bit?" Take us home!”
Zhao Kai said seriously: "Mrs. Guo, why did you say this? Didn't you and your father rebel first against the Liao Dynasty and then against the Song Dynasty? Now they have changed their masters three times, and they also led the Jin soldiers into the Central Plains. Is it possible that Qing Shi can still be stronger than Shi Jingtang?" ? But after the fall of Kaifeng and the death of his father and brother, in order to preserve the blood of the Song Dynasty and protect the Han people, he endured humiliation and endured heavy burdens, working hard and enduring hardships. How can he be compared to Shi Jingtang and his like?"
Guo Tiannv was speechless by Zhao Kai, and she somehow thought of her mother's love for the world, and how she could share the world with Zhao Kai, the great emperor of Song Dynasty!
At the end, Guo Tiannu was heard saying to Zhao Kai in a voice not much louder than a mosquito: "I will tell my father what your Majesty means..."
After saying this, she rode down the embankment, leaving only Zhao Kai standing on a high place muttering to himself: "Zhao Kai, Zhao Kai, when did you become so good at lying? Could it be that you suffered from this body?" influence? Or are the chosen ones inherently good at deceiving?"
