After hearing what his brother said, Zhao Zhi naturally believed it and immediately asked, "I wonder how many troops Third Brother has gathered?"
Zhao Kai smiled and stretched out two fingers, "Now there are more than 20,000 people... When Brother Yu recruits the remaining 130,000 people, we can break the siege of Feng Mansion."
It’s really inspiring!
How many days has it been? We have already recruited 20,000 people, and only 130,000 people have not yet been recruited... At the current rate, we will be able to recruit them in another year or two. Therefore, as long as Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan wait patiently, they will always be rescued.
"Third brother," Zhao Zhi also felt that the shortfall of 130,000 people was a bit too much, "There is such a shortfall, when can we get it all together?"
"Your Highness King Xin, don't be anxious," Zhao Kai's Generalissimo Sima Chen Ji was listening to the conversation between the two brothers and added with a smile, "King Qin's soldiers from all over the country are converging on Gyeonggi Road to gather 150,000 soldiers. People are not difficult.”
Shi Qinhui, the head of the Grand Marshal's Palace, also added: "In the past few days since the king sent troops, I have received news that before the officials were trapped in Kaifeng Mansion, they had ordered Qian Gai to be prepared for Longtuge, and all Shaanxi generals He was appointed as the Zhizhi envoy to deal with the Jingzhao Prefecture Baojia, and controlled and directed the Shaanxi Sixth Route Army's eastward march to King Qin. In addition, Zhongshidao was revived, and he was appointed as the Zhongshi envoy to the capital and west of Beijing. He was also granted the power to recruit troops and food on his own. Quan, ordered him to recruit King Qin's troops from various places in the capital and west of Beijing.
If the Western Army can make a large-scale eastward transfer, it will not take too long for the troops to arrive in Gyeonggi, and it will not be difficult to break the siege of the feudal government. "
Of course Zhao Kai knew that Qin Hui was talking nonsense - how could it not be difficult? The veteran generals of the Western Army, such as Zhong Shidao and Yao Gu, led the powerful Western Army in the Northern Expedition to Yanyun. They were beaten to pieces by the defeated general Yelu Dashi of the Golden Thief. Now the elite Western Army has either been lost or dismantled in Hebei, Hebei, and other places. There are many everywhere in the east of the river and in Kaifeng Prefecture. How many elite members of the Western Army could be brought under the command of Qian Gai and Zhong Shidao? I'm afraid that most of the hundreds of thousands of troops they put together are just a mob... How could they possibly solve the siege of Kaifeng Mansion? Unless the Kaifeng Mansion betrays the traitor again and gets rid of the matter of betraying the country and begging for mercy!
When he thought of the traitor, Zhao Kai glanced at Qin Hui with a gloomy look. Qin Hui, who was already relatively sensitive, was a little frightened when he looked at him - why is this king so unkind to me?
"Brother Twelve," Zhao Kai had already turned his gaze away from Qin Hui and turned to Zhao Zhi, "How is the situation in the palace? While I was away, your sister-in-law, Madam Pan, and Sister Ten were not anxious, were they? "
"I heard that my sister-in-law and Mrs. Pan are very anxious. They burn incense and worship Buddha at their residence every day, asking Buddha to bless you." Zhao Zhi said, "But Sister Ten is not anxious at all... She said you are the chosen one. The king is invulnerable and will not be broken by gold thieves!"
The invulnerable ones are here... Zhao Kaixin said: But it is true that this king will not be damaged by the gold thief. Isn't he back unscathed now? And he even brought back a pretty hot female gold thief! I wonder if "Little Fairy" Zhu Fengying and Madam Pan will be unhappy?
It would be a shame if he was not allowed to sleep in their bed in the future - how pitiful would it be to sleep alone on a cold bed in such a cold day?
Thinking of this, Zhao Kai frowned slightly.
"Third brother," Zhao Zhi looked at his brother's appearance and became worried, "Are you worried about your father and brothers in Kaifeng Mansion?"
"Don't worry..." Zhao Kai shook his head, "Father, as long as he stays in Kaifeng Mansion, there will be no danger."
"That's true," Zhao Zhi nodded, "He doesn't dare to go out of the city to beg for thieves!" He looked at Zhao Kai again, "The third brother is worried..."
"Oh," Zhao Kaichong waved behind him, "Goddess, come and meet the twelfth brother of the lonely king."
Then he saw Guo Tiannv, who was dressed in white robes and chainmail and covered her face with a gauze scarf, stepped forward on her horse, jumped off the horse lightly, and stood firmly beside Zhao Kai. Finally, she took off her veil and bowed to Zhao Zhiyi. : "The goddess pays homage to the twelve kings."
"Is this the chief of staff there?" Zhao Zhi had never seen Guo Tiannu, so he thought he was the chief of oiran somewhere - he looked a little inferior, too tall, and his facial features were slightly angular and hard, but nothing special. Flavor.
"The head of the line?" When Zhao Kai heard this word, his mind immediately flashed... the voices and smiles of dozens of young ladies. It turned out that the head of the line and the oiran lady (name) of the Kaifeng Mansion in the past five years. Prostitutes), he is very familiar with them!
Of course, Zhao Kai is a gentleman, not a sentimental person. Knowing so many heads of industry and oirans is entirely due to work needs... When he promotes the Imperial City Division, of course he must have a deep understanding of those who may come into contact with officials. The situation of the promiscuous women at home.
"She is not the head of the line," Zhao Kai said with a smile, "she is Madam Liu, the daughter-in-law of the sincere Liu Yan!"
He can't say that Guo Tiannu is the daughter of Guo Yaoshi. This matter must be kept secret - Guo Yaoshi "secretly communicated" with Zhao Kai through Guo Tiannu. This is a betrayal of the gold thief!
Given the current situation, it is impossible for the third-surnamed slave of Guo Yaoshi to switch sides and become a fourth-surnamed slave, but a lot of information about the Jin Kingdom can be obtained through him. In just these few days, Zhao Kai has learned a lot of information about the gold thief from Guo Tiannu.
For example, the strength of the Golden Thief's East Route Army and the West Route Army, and the general composition of the troops - although these information cannot be said to be top secret, Zhao Kai knew nothing about it before.
Another example is the composition of the Golden Thief nation, its internal levels, and the source of the strength of the Golden Thief's inner circle - this information makes Zhao Kai very worried! Because the population of the Golden Thief Nation is much larger than previously thought, probably two to three million.
In addition, the supply of gold thieves is also very abundant. In addition to the three major tribes of Sheng, Jurchen and Bohai, there are also many barbarian tribes outside the Great Wall and outside the mouth, as well as Yandi and Liaodong Haner who can be used by them.
Of course, the fact that the Jin Kingdom does not lack its inner circle is also relatively advantageous for Zhao Kai - because he has too many people, the Jin Kingdom does not have much oil and water to share with the surrendering faction. There is always a limit to oil and water. The raw and mature Jurchen people and the Bohai people have already divided it. Of course, the Khitan people, Liaodong Han'er, Yandi Han'er, grassland tribes, Xibo tribes, Huangtou tribes, etc. can only be treated as The cow has become cannon fodder.
Therefore, Medicine Master Guo and his generals of the Victory Army were very dissatisfied with the treatment given to them by the Jin people, and the Jin people did not trust them and were ready to kill donkeys at any time.
For Zhao Kai, the Jin people's own national conditions would help him stabilize the hearts of the Han people - there would be no good position after surrendering, so just follow Zhao Kai honestly!
Also, although the Jin Thief's most intimate tribe is the relatively backward Jurchen savage, after absorbing the Jurchen, Bohai people, Liaodong and Yandi Han'er, their productivity is not lagging behind!
Although the Liao Dynasty in the past was far inferior to the Song Dynasty in terms of spinning, weaving, and porcelain firing, its iron smelting skills were superior to the Song Dynasty (During the Song Dynasty, due to the lack of wood in the Central Plains, coal was mostly used to make iron. However, coal ironmaking contains too much sulfur and is not as strong as charcoal ironmaking in Liao and Xia)!
In addition to these, Zhao Kai also learned many things about Yelu Dashi and Mobei Grassland from Guo Tiannu. Although he had long known about the existence of Yelu Dashi, the entrepreneurial leader of Xiliao. But he doesn't know where Dashi is now? I don’t even know what’s going on in the Mobei Grassland, the land of Mongolian dragons.
The information provided by Guo Tiannu is still very valuable to Zhao Kai, a chosen person who does not know much about the history of the Song and Jin Dynasties... However, the intelligence work must be kept confidential, so Guo Tiannu cannot use her true identity Show people.
So Zhao Kai made up an identity for her and asked her to pretend to be the niece of veteran Liu Yan.
"Third brother," Zhao Zhi looked at this woman who seemed a bit fierce, frowned and asked, "What are you doing with Taiwei Liu's daughter by your side?"
Yes, how do you explain this? He obviously went to fight, why did he bring a woman back? How to explain this to Zhu Fengying and Madam Pan?
"This..." Zhao Kai thought about it seriously, and then said to his brother seriously, "Brother Yu is the chosen horse king. I'm afraid he will have to be with the army all his life. If there is no woman by his side, Follow, aren’t you too lonely?”
This is called the matching of men and women, so fighting is not tiring!
Otherwise, the whole life of military service and good times would be spent fighting with a group of big men, which would be too inconsistent with the living standards of the chosen ones.
Zhao Zhi nodded repeatedly. For some reason, the graceful figure of Mrs. Pan appeared in his mind...
He is lonely now too!
Zhao Zhi is a prince, but he is not married yet.
Although there are many palace people in his house, he is a thin-skinned king, and he didn't have the nerve to extend his devilish hand to them in the past - in fact, those palace people look forward to it every day, and they are almost dying of anxiety!
And now that Zhao Zhi saw how unhappy his brother was hugging him, he had already thought about it. But after thinking about it, he found that he had nowhere to stretch his hands!
Because his good third brother Zhao Kai only abducted him and Zhao Duofu to Daming Mansion, and he did not arrange a woman for him, the twelve great kings.
So Zhao Zhi, the majestic King of Song Dynasty, could only look at Madam Pan and drool!
Of course, the fact that he covets Mrs. Pan's body is not the "sister-in-law theft" because Zhu Fengying is the sister-in-law. Zhao Zhi is also a scholar, abiding by etiquette and law, and cannot covet Zhu Fengying's body.
But Madam Pan doesn’t even have the status of a Junjun (high-level concubine of the prince). She is just a low-level concubine. In theory, she can ask for it directly from Zhao Kai... But after all, Madam Pan works for Zhao Kaisheng. He had a pair of children, one of whom was Zhao Kai's only son and almost became the acting marshal, so Zhao Zhi could only think about it and did not dare to take action.
In order to cover up his dirty thoughts, Zhao Zhi had no choice but to nod vigorously.
Zhao Kai looked at his brother nodding his head, thinking that he wanted to be like him and take a woman who didn't like red makeup and preferred weapons to go into battle to kill thieves!
He was immediately relieved, stretched out his palm, took Zhao Zhi's hand and said, "Brother Twelve, how about Brother Yu arranging a Lady Liu for you?"
Guo Tiannu is accompanied by several rather strong maids, all of whom are Liaodong women who can follow her on the battlefield - in fact, Guo Tiannu is also quite strong! It just looks slender, but in fact it has a very strong body.
According to Guo Tiannu's wish, Zhao Kai can take in those strong maids...but Zhao Kai is not lewd, so he wants to find some good men to marry them off.
Now he found that his good brother Zhao Zhi seemed to like this, so he wanted to choose the one with the most powerful martial arts among the maids of the goddess of heaven and give it to him.
"Really?" Zhao Zhi looked at Guo Tiannu's outstanding face and was already a little moved. Although Guo Tiannu was not as good-looking as his previous palace mates, who told him not to cherish her?
If there are flowers, you must break them off. Don’t wait until there are no flowers and branches!
"Really!" Zhao Kai smiled, "Can third brother still lie to you?"
"That's great!" Zhao Zhi nodded, "I'd rather be respectful than obey..."
You only know how precious it is when you lose it!
"Okay! Okay!" Zhao Kai laughed loudly, "From now on, you and I, brothers, can lead beautiful women to fight against thieves together!"
What?
Zhao Zhi was frightened by Zhao Kai's words. It was obviously a woman's problem, so how could it be related to begging for thieves on the spot? Can't we brothers say something else?
Zhao Kai saw his brother's surprised look on his face, so he smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "Twelve brother's son and husband were born in an emperor's family. How can we be afraid of war and death? From today on, I will train with my brother in military affairs. The same will happen tomorrow." Battle formation! Kill the golden thief together!"
It's broken, it's broken... Zhao Zhi was so frightened that his little face turned pale. Why can't I, the good Prince of the Song Dynasty, be afraid of war and death? What's wrong with me being a coward who fears enemies like a tiger?
Zhao Kai saw the frightened look on his face and laughed loudly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid... Killing thieves in battle is fun, riding a horse and killing people! And there are beautiful warriors accompanying you, how happy is it? Twelve brothers are young heroes. , move forward bravely!”
Are you going to kill me? Is it because someone once supported me as acting marshal?
As soon as Zhao Kai's words came out, not only Zhao Zhi felt that a disaster was coming, but also Qin Hui, Chen Ji, Cai Mao, Du Chong, and Lu Yihao were sweating coldly.
Could it be that the three kings already knew that someone wanted to appoint the twelve kings as generalissimo while he was away?
This is to trap the twelve kings to death on the battlefield!
Isn't this too harsh? Not even my brothers will be spared! It’s true that you are with me as much as you are with a tiger!
.......
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... you are back!"
"Your Majesty, who is this lady in military uniform?"
"Brother Twelve, why do you look so ugly? Could it be that Third Brother scolded you because someone wanted to appoint you as marshal? I don't blame you for that..."
Outside the palace gate of Daming Mansion, three women, Zhu Fengying, Madam Pan, and Zhao Duofu, leading the two children Zhao Lun and Zhao Yuniang, were waiting for Zhao Kai's return.
When the three women saw Zhao Kai, Zhao Zhi, and Guo Tiannu coming on horseback, they all stepped forward to greet them. However, the words they said were different.
Zhu Fengying's eyes were red. She saw how wronged she had been. She called out to the king twice and was about to rush into Zhao Kai's arms. However, due to the presence of Zhao Zhi, she finally held back.
Mrs. Pan was holding the two children, not too unrestrained, but when she saw Guo Tiannu, she immediately became vigilant - a competitor was coming!
Zhao Duofu, on the other hand, has been worried about Zhao Zhi, fearing that he will be reprimanded by Zhao Kai. A few days ago, Zhao Zhi was elected as the acting general marshal. Although he kept pushing, who knew that Zhao Zhi would be the acting general marshal. What does Kaihui think? So after seeing Zhao Kai, he immediately helped Zhao Zhi explain.
Zhao Kai already knows about appointing an acting generalissimo...it's all a waste of time! This king is chosen by heaven and has the blessing of heaven. How could he die in battle? What kind of acting marshal do you support? What a waste!
But Mrs. Pan’s performance is indeed remarkable...she is a good woman with talent!
Thinking of this, Zhao Kai first comforted Zhu Fengying who had been greatly wronged, "Madam, please don't cry. Isn't your husband back? Not only is he back unscathed, but he also brought you a girl... Goddess , come and meet Mrs. Yun Guo!"
"My wife Liu Tiannu, I have met my wife!" Guo Tiannu hurriedly stepped forward and bowed obediently.
Zhao Kai glanced at his eldest sister, Mrs. Pan, and said with a smile: "The Heavenly Lady is Liu Taiwei's daughter, a woman who grew up in the army and is skilled in martial arts. Old Taiwei Liu was worried that the lonely king would have no one to guard him day and night on the battlefield. Just let her follow... In the future, when the lonely king goes to the battlefield, there will be more protection, Madam, Mrs. Pan, you can rest assured."
rest assured?
Zhu Fengying and Pan Cailian are even more worried!
Zhu Fengying was worried that Zhao Kai would go to the battlefield again. Pan Cailian, on the other hand, was worried that Liu Tiannu would share her favor... Although Liu Tiannu's body didn't look as plump as hers, she could go on the battlefield! The woman he can accompany the king through life and death with!
That is a fatal love! Madam Pan, can you not be anxious?
Zhao Kai looked at Madam Pan lovingly at this time, "Madam Pan, you have suffered so much these days, it's time to give you a title... The lonely king wants to make you a county prince!"
Hearing that Mrs. Pan had conferred the title of Junjun, Zhu Fengying, who had stopped crying, started twitching again. Zhao Kai quickly stepped forward to comfort him and said: "Fengying, I'm sorry for you... I'll wait until Gu arranges it." Regarding the matter of rewarding meritorious soldiers, how about I take a good rest for a few days and spend more time with you?"
After hearing what Zhao Kai said, Zhao Zhi became a little anxious. His father was still surrounded by golden men in Kaifeng Mansion! How can you be so loving as a son and daughter? If dad is gone... what will happen to us brothers!
