"Hahaha! The dust has finally settled now!" When Zhao Kai heard the news, he suddenly laughed loudly, stopped talking about military affairs, stood up suddenly, and strode out.
Several generals present looked at each other, a little surprised. Although Guo Tiannu was somewhat pretty, she was not stunningly beautiful. Zhao Kai's concubine Pan Niangzi and Zhu Fengying were both more beautiful than her. And this woman is very fierce, just like a tigress...
Moreover, Zhao Kai is the king of the Song Dynasty, the leader of the three armies, and the marshal of all armies, states, and prefectures in Hebei. He is not too young. He is already 26 years old this year. Shouldn't he be more cautious? Why do you look so frivolous? During the fight, he always rushed forward, but now that Mrs. Guo came, he was so excited.
Guo Tiannu's beauty is top-notch for ordinary people, but what does it mean to you, a great king? If you want, give an order to Cai Mao and Du Chong, and those two traitorous ministers will naturally look for you.
However, Zhao Kai ignored the thoughts of these elderly uncles and just walked out of the tent quickly. When he got outside, he saw Guo Tiannu carrying a large baggage and a riding whip in her hand. She had already put on a white cross-collar gown that could fully accentuate her tall figure. She did not wear a veil on her face (in fact, she had just taken it off), revealing a beautiful face. A pair of eyes widened, staring blankly at Zhao Kai who came to greet him in person.
Why does this Zhao Kai look so excited? Is it for me? When Guo Tiannu saw Zhao Kai's expression, she was immediately confused.
Zhao Kai now doesn't look like a 26-year-old Prince of the Song Dynasty, but like a 17- or 18-year-old boy sizing up the prize he finally won, with a look of novelty and excitement on his face.
And where is that ruthless energy that makes Guo Tiannu feel very scared, but also very convinced? I don't know where it is hidden? Could this be called being indifferent to emotions?
"Goddess, it's good if you come..." Zhao Kai was still very proactive and stepped forward to hold her hand.
He was quite popular with women in his two lives. Even as a boy in the first and second grade of high school in his previous life, he held hands with girls and went shopping. Not to mention in this life, although there is only one wife and one concubine in the family, the head of the brothel gang in Kaifeng is somehow related to him, the three kings... The memory of this aspect in my mind is almost catching up with Japanese literature and art. Filmed!
But none of those women can compare to this Guo Tiannu, because he "won" Guo Tiannu with his ability!
Guo Tiannv looked at Zhao Kai, who suddenly turned into a "young prince", and felt a little embarrassed, but she still didn't dare to take back her slender palm.
Zhao Kai took Guo Tiannu's hand and walked directly to his tent. As he walked, he said: "Tiannu, you will be mine from now on. You have done many wrong things before, and you must correct them in the future. But knew?"
"I know this, I must change it well..." Guo Tiannu's heart was pounding, and she didn't know whether it was fear or joy, maybe both.
"Good attitude!" Zhao Kai nodded with satisfaction and lowered his voice again, "If you don't change, King Gu will punish you severely!"
"I don't dare..." Guo Tiannu replied while thinking: What should I change? Does King Yun think that I have surrendered and rebelled too many times? Plus this time, I am already a "four ministers"! Thinking of this, she immediately expressed her loyalty and said: "If I have any second thoughts towards the king, I am willing to be executed in Lingchi!"
Execution in Lingchi? Zhao Kai was also frightened by Guo Tiannu's words of loyalty, and thought to himself: This woman is so cruel, even the lonely king only wants to shoot you with the eight-oxen crossbow...
"Okay!" Zhao Kai nodded, "Then we'll make it a deal!"
A deal? This means... Guo Tiannu took a breath and no longer dared to treat Zhao Kai as a frivolous prince.
At this time, the two of them had entered the tent together. A group of generals in the tent stood up and saluted when they saw Zhao Kai entering.
Zhao Kai smiled and waved his hands, saying: "Everyone, sit down... Look, Guo Tiannu is already here! We have won this battle!"
"Your Majesty..." Guo Tiannu suddenly interrupted at this time, "You haven't... we haven't completely won this battle yet."
"What?" Zhao Kai sat down on his chair and asked Guo Tiannu, "Does Master Guo still want to compete?"
"The king has misunderstood. How can my father dare to fight again? He just wants to put on a show with the king and deceive Han Chang in Linzhang."
"Oh." Zhao Kai was noncommittal.
Guo Tiannv said: "My father said that Han Chang is still very good at using soldiers, and he has a lot of cavalry. He will definitely keep an eye on the battlefield beside the Yongji Canal. Once he finds out that the king has many soldiers, he will definitely abandon the city and leave. ...If the king wants to make a big splash, it is better to use a trick with my father to frighten him away. In this way, the king can come back to Zhangzhou without a fight and seize a large amount of food and grass stationed in the city. And also It can threaten Prince Bodhisattva’s retreat and reduce the pressure on Kaifeng Mansion.”
"What do you think?" Zhao Kai looked around the tent.
"Your Majesty, I think it's feasible." He Guan immediately agreed.
Wang Yuan also said: "Your Majesty, our army is a newly formed army. The morale of the army has not yet been stabilized, the soldiers have not been refined, and the number is not large. It is not easy to hold on in Daming Mansion. Therefore, we should try our best to avoid tough battles. If we can It is the best policy to return to Zhangzhou without fighting."
Zhao Kai looked at Han Shizhong again, and Han Shizhong said: "Your Majesty, I will arrange cavalry to pursue, and I will not let Han Chang escape unscathed!"
"Okay!" Zhao Kai finally made up his mind, "Just put on a show for Han Chang to see!"
...
Han Chang, a member of the Liaodong Han army of the Kingdom of Jin, was a typical son of a wealthy family in the Yan land. Although he was a branch of the Han family in Yutian, he still worked hard to practice archery and horsemanship from a young age, and also studied Confucianism. When he was older, he joined the Nanjing guard family. Jun, and also passed the Jinshi examination in Nanjing Road - Jinshi in Liao was not as valuable as in Song Dynasty. Not only did the court of Liao sometimes organize Jinshi examinations, but Wujing Road in Liao also organized its own Jinshi examinations, so Almost every wealthy Han descendant in the Liao Kingdom has a Jinshi.
But Han Chang was a Jinshi with real talent and learning. If it hadn't been for the rise of the Jurchens and the collapse of Khitan, it would have been possible for Han Chang to have stayed in the five capitals of the Liao Kingdom with his knowledge and background! It is a pity that the times did not give him the opportunity to be a high-ranking official in the Liao Kingdom, but he followed his father Han Qinghe to surrender to the Jurchens eight years ago, and became a Han general under the Jurchens, and also became the confidant of Prince Bodhisattva.
On the 30th day of the first lunar month of the eighth year of Xuanhe, he actually led a group of cavalry out of Linzhang County.
The purpose of his going out of the city was not to support Yaoshi Guo, but to be a spectator. The reason why Prince Langjun Wanyan Zonghan left him in Linzhang with 1,000 horses was actually to monitor the movements of the Song army in the three prefectures of Xiangzhou, Daming, Cizhou, and Mingzhou.
Zhao Kai, who arrived at Daming Mansion on the eighth day of the first lunar month, and the Hebei Army Marshal's Mansion that followed, were of course the key targets of Han Chang's surveillance.
Therefore, as soon as Zhao Kai's army left Daming Mansion, Han Chang received the report as soon as possible. And on the 30th day of the first lunar month, he personally led his troops out of the city to observe the battle between Zhao Kai and the Changsheng Army and the Nanjing Road Han Army.
But what greatly exceeded his expectation was that the cavalry under Zhao Kai's command were large in number and very powerful in combat, and they firmly controlled the area around the battlefield. Han Chang sent too few cavalry at first and didn't dare to get close, so he didn't know how the battle was going.
Therefore, Han Chang had to send people back to Linzhang to mobilize troops. As a result, it was not until the night of the second day of February that he found a chance to approach the battlefield.
But before Han Chang could get any closer, he was stunned by the sudden fire in front of him, as well as the loud shouts of killing and the sound of golden drums!
Could it be that tonight is the time for a decisive battle between Guo Yaoshi and Song Jun?
