Zhao Kai, who was familiar with "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", was using conspiracy and tricks to deal with Guo Yaoshi and his daughter. He never thought that at this moment in Damingfu City, someone was also plotting against him, the Song Dynasty Yun who was suspected of treason and seeking glory. His Royal Highness.
"What a King Yun. He forced his father to resist the gold thief in Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo, but when he arrived in Daimyo, he knelt down to the gold thief. Today he even gave the female gold thief dozens of carts of goods. I have never seen such a shameless person! "
The speaker was a tough-headed young official. It seemed that Zhao Kai was really angry. He was blowing his beard and glaring while talking. The official's name was Hu Yin, and his courtesy name was Zhongming. He is 26 years old this year. He was a Jinshi in the third year of Xuanhe. Before Jin Bing went south, he was the secretary and provincial secretary. In the promotion chart of civil servants in the Song Dynasty, the position of Secretary, Provincial School Secretary, was a good position. If a new scholar can become this official, he will generally have a good future. However, in the face of the invasion of Jin soldiers, the situation of the mountains and rivers was shattered. Hu Yin still resolutely joined Li Gang, the envoy to the Tokyo camp, and in early January of the eighth year of Xuanhe, he was sent to Hebei to raise military supplies for the Tokyo city that was about to be besieged.
And listening to him speak, it was Zhang Jun, Chen Dong, and Deng Su, three green-robed junior officials who arrived at Daming Mansion a few days later than him. They are also working as officials under the Tokyo Camp Envoy Department, and the purpose of coming to Hebei is said to be to raise food. The destination of the three of them and Hu Yin was supposed to be Cangzhou, but somehow, when they arrived at Damingfu City, they never moved again.
For more than ten days, they walked around Damingfu City. In the name of raising food, he kept meeting with Hebei Shilin leaders who were hiding in Damingfu City, as well as officials and Tai students who went home for the New Year, to promote resistance to gold and opposition to peace.
Because all the scholar-bureaucrats in Damingfu City know who are the people behind the four of them? Moreover, the scholar-bureaucrats in Hebei also hated the gold thieves for invading their hometown, and most of them denounced and fought against them. So in just ten days, they had already contacted a large number of like-minded scholar-officials.
With the help of these Hebei scholar-bureaucrats, their eyes and ears have become more alert, and now they all know the general content of the peace talks between Zhao Kai and Guo Tiannu in the palace.
This is really a loss of power and an insult to the country!
"What are those dozens of carts of goods? It's just some silks and fine wines, which together may not be worth ten thousand coins...compared with three million goods, it's just a drop in the bucket!"
"It would be fine if I could spend 3 million to buy out the gold thief once and for all, but now I only get a promise that the gold thief will not enter Daming Mansion."
"I heard that in order to buy back the gold thief's eastern army, we need to give another 30 million guan of wealth, and we need to give 3 million guan every year in the future!"
"We will give 20 more emperor concubines, and we will also cede the Yanshan Mansion!"
"As long as Mr. Li is here, the court will not agree to these peace negotiation conditions!"
"That's true, but what about Daming Mansion? There is no one like Mr. Li in Daming Mansion..."
"Don't be afraid, Daming Mansion has us! Daming Mansion still has so many scholar-bureaucrats who have read the books of saints, and hundreds of thousands of good people who are unwilling to be enslaved by the Jin people... They are the imperial guards and soldiers of Daming Mansion. , the people are strong, and they will not surrender without a fight."
"Yes! As long as everyone can stand up, King Yun will not dare to betray the country and seek peace... Let's split up and mobilize the scholar-bureaucrats in Damingfu City!"
"Okay! Without further ado, let's split up!"
...
"Haha, we found Guo Yaoshi's soldiers and horses...the number is about the same as what Lu Yihao said, about ten thousand people, including less than two thousand cavalry. They are coming to the west bank of the Yellow River. The flags are flying and the momentum is huge. It seems that they are I want to scare the lonely king!"
Not long after Zhao Kai returned to the palace city of Daming Prefecture, the sentinel detective who was quietly following Guo Tiannu's large group of troops (the 500 cavalry left by Guo Tiannu on the west bank of the Yellow River plus dozens of carts) discovered Guo Yaoshi. The location of the army - Actually, Pharmacist Guo didn't want to hide his traces. He just came to Daming Mansion to scare people. How could he hide his head and tail?
After getting the specific situation of Guo Yaoshi's headquarters, Zhao Kai immediately summoned his subordinates, civil servants and generals to the palace for a military discussion.
The military generals who participated in the military meeting included Du Dujun He Guan, Du Tuo Wang Yuan, Du Du Tuo, Xiang Ke, Huang Wuji, Liu Yan, Ma Kuo, Liu Qi, He Ji, He Moss, and two chamberlains Liang Fangping and Wang Shide who led the troops. . The cultural officials who participated in the military meeting were Cai Mao, the transfer envoy of Hebei and the official of the Daming Prefecture, Du Chong, the official of the Cangzhou Prefecture, Shi Qinhui, the chief of the Hebei Marshal's Office, Chen Ji, the Sima of the Hebei Marshal's Office, and others. Wen left and Wu sat in two rows, everyone looked solemn and worried... That was a victorious army of ten thousand! Of course, it is no problem to defend the city with the more than 11,000 Forbidden Forces cobbled together from Daming Mansion, but how can we win a field battle?
Zhao Kai's soul is new, how could he know how powerful the Chang Sheng Army is? So she was still confident and eager to try: "Guo Tiannu has been deceived by King Gu. Guo Yaoshi will definitely think that King Gu is cowardly and ignorant of soldiers, so he will not take strict precautions... Gu just takes advantage of his arrogance to launch a surprise attack. , we can definitely defeat it!"
"Your Majesty," Liu Yan, a veteran who has known Pharmacist Guo for a long time, reminded, "Pharmacist has been using troops for a long time and has bravery and strategy. Even if he underestimates the enemy, he will not fail to take precautions. I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed in a surprise attack."
After hearing the different opinions, Zhao Kai looked at Han Shizhong again and asked, "Good minister, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty," Han Shizhong said, "I also feel that Pharmacist Guo is not that easy to fight. It is better to stand firm and clear the field. Wait for the Pharmacist and Soldiers to retreat from fatigue, and then cover up and kill him. We will definitely win."
Zhao Kai was poured cold water on Han Shizhong and frowned a little, but he was the chosen one and his self-confidence was certainly higher than that of ordinary people.
"Good minister," Zhao Kai asked, "if the lonely king personally led all the elite infantry to attack, took the lead, risked the arrows and stones, and attacked the pharmacist's camp with a desperate determination, would he be able to win?"
What?
Lead all the elite cavalry to attack?
Do you want to take the lead and take the risk yourself?
Do you still want to attack the enemy with determination?
The civil servants and generals present were dumbfounded when they heard this, and they were all thinking: Are you serious, the king, or are you kidding us?
Stop making trouble now. Since Zhao Kuangyin, where has there been such a fierce person in your family? If Zhao Kuangyin comes back to life and leads his troops to attack Yaoshi Guo at night, he will definitely win... But are you that fierce?
Seeing that the people below were all dumbfounded, Zhao Kai burst out laughing, "Although you don't say anything, the lonely king already knows everything. Although the pharmacist has been using troops for a long time, he has never seen the commander-in-chief of the Song Dynasty who dared to kill thieves in battle, let alone Needless to say, a great king like Gu. However, the commanders and ministers dare not approach the battle, the generals cannot take advantage of the opportunity, the soldiers are unwilling to work hard, and rewards and punishments cannot be clearly defined. These are all the shortcomings of this dynasty's military use, and Gu should be punished!"
As soon as Zhao Kai finished speaking, someone spoke up, "How can your Majesty, with his body of thousands of gold, put himself in danger? If something goes wrong, what hope do the tens of millions of people in Hebei have?"
Zhao Kai took a look and found out that it was the treacherous minister Qin Hui... You can't listen to the words of a treacherous minister!
"In the past, Marquis Wu of Zhuge was on the battlefield during his five expeditions against Cao Wei! At the age of 53, he still led the army and fought against Sima Yi at Wuzhangyuan. He was young and strong, able to wear dozens of kilograms of iron armor, shoot a bow with a stone, and ride a fierce horse to run horizontally. How? Don’t you dare to face the battle? Besides, Gu is the chosen one, and he will be protected by God. Even if he is exposed to arrows and stones, he will remain unscathed!"
The civil servants and generals present didn't know what to say about Zhao Kai's amazing confidence!
What kind of chosen one...silly and bold, right?
Just when everyone didn't know how to persuade them, Baiside, the palace servant of Guan Gan Daming Palace, suddenly walked over and entered the hall. Before he could stand still, he shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, there are changes in Daming Palace City! There are gentry and people making trouble in the city!"
"What? Making trouble?" Zhao Kai hurriedly listened and heard some noisy sounds.
He turned his head and looked at Cai Mao, who knew Daming Mansion.
Zhao Kai asked in a deep voice: "Are they rioters? What do they want to do?"
Baiside said: "People from Daming Mansion came to report that tens of thousands of people gathered outside Xi'an Gate in the outer city, saying... that they wanted to petition the king!"
"Petition?" As soon as Zhao Kai thought of "petition", a lot of troublesome things popped up in his mind - he was thinking of the messy matter of raising the Imperial City Division.
Cai Mao on the side gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, this must be causing trouble for the people. I will immediately mobilize the soldiers and the people to suppress it!"
"No way!" Baiside shook his head, "Unknown to you, the people who are leading the trouble are the gentry and officials here in Daming Mansion!"
Zhao Kai stood up suddenly and said: "Go and see for yourself!"
