Zhao Kai is here!
He led his civil servants and generals out of the west gate of the camp where the "luchuan massacre" almost happened just now, and personally greeted Yelu Yujian who came to seek refuge.
This can be regarded as giving Yeluyu some face.
And Yelu Yujian felt good too. The last time he surrendered to the Jin Kingdom with tens of thousands of elite troops as General Jinwuwei of Daliao Zuo and Commander of the East Road, he was not personally welcomed by Aguda. Now he only came with less than 300 men and horses to surrender, and he came to surrender when he was defeated and was in dire straits. To be able to receive such courtesy, it seems that Zhao Kai is indeed a wise gentleman.
Before Zhao Kai arrived, Han Shizhong had already had the terrifying Eight Ox Crossbows removed, and he had also mobilized more than a thousand elite soldiers in armor, who were arranged into two human walls inside and outside the camp gate. Between the two human walls, It's just a passage.
Seeing that Yelu Yu had taken off his armor, he took a few of his confidants and stood at the west end of the passage. Liu Yan and Liu Bodhisattva, who were both from the Changsheng Army, were accompanying him.
The three hundred people under Yu Jian also took off their armor and lost their long-handled weapons, and then one person led three horses (all picked up from the ditch outside the camp) at a distance of 20 steps from Yu Jian and others. There was a large group standing in the open space, all craning their necks to watch - it was not the first time they had surrendered, so they would also compare the situation with the last time they surrendered, to see which one had better treatment?
Seeing King Yun Zhao Kai coming to greet him in person, the mood of these small surrender factions immediately improved a lot... That king of the Song Dynasty will want to be an official in yellow robes in the future! Then can these people be considered ministers of the dragon?
Zhao Kai came on horseback. When he was still fifteen or sixteen steps away from Yelu Yujian, he reined in his horse, then turned over and strode towards Yelu Yujian.
He didn't wear any armor either, just a black hat and a long coat, with a long sword hanging from his waist. However, Dong Jingang, who came with him, was wearing a chainmail armor and holding a spear with Zhao Kai's flag in one hand.
Yelu Yujian had not seen Zhao Kai's face, but he had seen Dong Jingang and the face with "Yun Wang Zhao Kai" tattooed on it, so he immediately determined that it was Zhao Kai, the marshal of Hebei soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty and the king of Yun. So he strode forward and bowed in obeisance: "Therefore, Yeluyu, the general of Zuo Jinwuwei of Liao Kingdom and the commander of the East Road, pays homage to His Highness the King!"
Zhao Kai quickly went up to Yu Jian, stretched out his hands, put his hands on Yu Jian's arms, gently lifted his bent body, and then asked in a rather concerned tone: "When Gujia saw you return to battle yesterday, Falling off the horse, I wonder if you are injured?"
Yelu Yujian was moved by this question... What a great king! Much better than those Jurchen barbarians.
He smiled and said: "It's a little bit dodgey...but it's not a big deal."
Zhao Kai nodded and ordered the people around him: "Master Yelu stepped aside, quickly go find a soft sedan and carry Master Yelu into the camp!"
This treatment... Eight lifts, no, four people carried them in a soft sedan chair!
Yelu Yujian had never enjoyed this in Daliao, but now that he was a minister, he could be treated like this... It seemed that he made the right decision to surrender.
When Zhao Kai and Yelu Yujian were waiting for the sedan chair together, they asked Yu Jian with concern: "The Grand Master has many relatives with the Jin people, right? The Jurchens are cruel. If they knew that the Grand Master had surrendered to the Song Dynasty, they would definitely harm them. ...How about concealing the news of the Grand Master's return to the Song Dynasty and temporarily claiming to the outside world that the Grand Master has been killed in battle?"
Not to mention, although this Zhao Kai is a bit "bad", he can still treat people sincerely. He doesn't want Ye Luyu to see a white-haired person giving away a black-haired person.
"That's great. Yu Jian couldn't ask for it." Yelu Yujian was so moved. His whole family was there!
Zhao Kai added: "The Gu family has heard that Yelu's surname is Liu, so the Grand Master should be called Liu Yu in the Gu family's army... As for the official title, the Gu family will ask for a Taiwei first."
The so-called petition is actually a private seal. The number is used to carry sedan chairs among heroes in the late Han Dynasty, which means "showing the official status of so-and-so".
Zhao Kai, the military marshal of Hebei Province, had great power when appointing officials. He could act on his own initiative, open government offices, and appoint his own staff.
But when appointing rank officials, his power to act expediently is not easy to use. It’s just a matter of appointing a small envoy or an ambassador. It seems inappropriate to appoint a Hengxing official without asking for an edict, let alone confer a Taiwei... Therefore, when appointing senior officials, Zhao Kai does not use his own edict, but uses a petition. . Regardless of whether Zhao Ji saw the memorial or not, Zhao Kai assumed that he had approved it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Yelu Yu saw that he was already crying with gratitude and wanted to bow down to Zhao Kai again. Zhao Kai quickly supported him... His waist was broken and he needed to take care of himself.
At this moment, four minzhuangs who had come down from Niangziguan came over carrying a soft sedan. Zhao Kai hurriedly asked Dong Jingang to help Yelu Yujian get into the soft sedan. However, he did not enter the camp immediately. Instead, he went to give lectures to Yelu Yujian's men.
These people are all veterans who have experienced battles for a long time. If they can be used for their own purposes, they can somewhat increase their resistance to gold!
...
"What? The Eastern Route Army is still surrounding Kaifeng Mansion? Your Majesty only has more than 10,000 elite soldiers at hand..."
Within the "Forest of Guns", the large tent that originally belonged to Liu Kai was now used by Zhao Kai. It was here that Zhao Kai had a conversation with Yelu Yujian, who had just taken refuge with him.
Zhao Kai has already given everything that should be given to Yelu Yujian, so now it’s up to Yelu Yujian to show his value!
Therefore, Zhao Kai did not hide anything from Yu Jian and told Yelu Yu Jian about his situation and the war in Hebei and Gyeonggi.
This time, Yelu Yujian was stunned!
"Da! Your Majesty is so brave!" Yelu Yu gasped at the sight, "Wanyan Zonghan has nearly 80,000 regular soldiers. Counting Ali Xisuise's men, the total force is no less than 150,000! Wang Yi Thousands of people refused, and the Eastern Route Army was still surrounding Kaifeng Mansion... This, who could have thought of this, and who would dare to think of this? Your Majesty's method of using troops is really brilliant, I admire you!"
Is it very clever?
Wen and Wu of the Song Dynasty who were present didn't know what to say... Zhao Kai's playing style was completely crazy!
The 8,000 elite soldiers he brought out (there were still 2,000 at Niangziguan, and Liu Kai brought more than 1,000), could not defeat Wanyan Zonghan's 150,000 troops no matter what.
Moreover, he also entered the army when Kaifeng Mansion might be attacked by Jin soldiers at any time... Who could have imagined this? No one would have thought of it!
What do you, Zhao Kai, want to do? If you are truly a filial son and truly resistant to gold, then you should also break the siege of the feudal government!
If you are not really filial, nor are you really resistant to gold, but want to wait until your father and brother die to wear the yellow robe, then you should save your strength. Where can I go to Niangziguan to start a fight with the Dajin West Route Army?
So... even if Wanyan Zonghan wanted to break his head, he would never have thought that Zhao Kai would be so crazy. Taking the initiative to find 150,000 gold soldiers to fight with 8,000 people is simply impossible! Since it is impossible, then Wanyan Zonghan will not think about it. Of course he will think that the Eastern Route Army has attacked, and Zhao Kai is leading hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops to the Northern Expedition to Yanyun...
"Teacher Liu," Zhao Kai asked again, "So, Zong Han still thinks that the soldiers led by the Gu family are a large army?"
Yelu Yujian nodded and said with admiration: "When he knew that Shi Yema was defeated, he became even more convinced that the troops led by the king were the Song Dynasty Forbidden Army... After all, everyone in the world knows about the Song Dynasty. There are 800,000 Imperial Guards!”
This thing is crazier than what Zhao Kai is doing now... The Song Dynasty, which was so rich, did not have 800,000 forbidden troops, only 300,000 at most!
Suddenly half a million less, isn't this a joke? How could this be true? How could the family not have enough bodyguards to protect them when they have so much money?
Therefore, after the news of She Yema's death came back, Wanyan Zonghan must have become more convinced that Zhao Kai came with 800,000 forbidden troops to kill people!
"Okay!" Zhao Kai gritted his teeth and looked at the civilian and military generals around him, "Since Zong Han believes that there are 800,000 forbidden troops, then the Gu family will lead these 800,000 forbidden troops to find his bad luck and go to pacify the Ding army to rescue Yue Fei. !”
