Daming Palace, Jingfang Palace.
Zhao Kai woke up from a bed that was large enough to accommodate three or four people sleeping together. He stretched and yawned again. Then he glanced at the side next to him. He saw a girl with fair skin, beautiful legs, long legs and a broad mind. She was wrapped in a quilt and lying on the side with her hair disheveled. There was a charming smile on her sleepy face... ....It seems that I am quite happy to be punished strictly.
This big girl was severely punished by Zhao Kai last night! Who told her to be the daughter of the "evil man Wu Qimai"? Moreover, she also confessed to the crime of covering for Wanyan Xieye, Wanyan Salihe and Wang Bolong's troops to evacuate the rear of Damingfu City! In addition, she also honestly confessed her ambition to build a city in the Central Plains so that she could dominate and become a female feudal lord... There is no rule of leniency in Zhao Kai here, and he must be punished strictly!
Moreover, Zhao Kai had just won a key battle yesterday that was related to the stability of his imperial power. He was in a state of excitement, as if he had boundless energy with nowhere to use, so he used it to deal with Yan Yan strictly. After working until late at night, I felt tired and weak, so I leaned over on my long leg. It was only now that the sun was shining brightly outside the hall, and I woke up full of energy again.
After sitting up from the bed, Zhao Kai looked around and found that there were no servants in the hall. Then he remembered that last night when he was interrogating and severely punishing Yan Yan, he ordered the serving maids to stay away... ....After all, many military secrets may be revealed when interrogating Wanyan Yan, so it should not be leaked!
Other than that, of course everything is upright and there is nothing shameful!
After sitting on the bed for a while, Zhao Kai, who was completely awake, opened his throat and shouted: "Here comes someone!"
Hearing Zhao Kai's call, Guo Tiannv quickly came in with several palace maids who were accompanying the army. They brought face wash, mouthwash, tea and breakfast, and also brought in a pile of replacement clothes, some of which were prepared for Zhao Kai, and Some belong to Wanyan Yan... When entering the palace yesterday, Guo Tiannv asked about the location of Wanyan Yan's princess camp, and then sent someone to take several boxes of her clothes and accumulated dowry into the palace.
Zhao Kai finished washing up and took a few sips of warm tea. At this time, Guo Tiannv had already brought Zhao Kai's breakfast. They were three egg and multigrain pancake rolls rolled with shortbread, pickled mustard, and brushed with flour sauce... They were placed on a Ru porcelain plate covered with cracked ice sheets and delivered to Zhao Daguan's house!
Zhao Guanjia stretched out three hands and picked up one of the pancake rolls - this was actually a small pancake roll cut into four pieces (there was also one piece for the chamberlain who was testing the poison). It was prepared by Zhao Kai himself by the imperial chef accompanying the army. Made under guidance.
Although it was made by the imperial chef of the Song Dynasty, it was not as delicious as the multigrain pancakes that Zhao Kai served himself in his previous life. The main problem is cutting corners...there is no corn flour in the batter, which makes it less fragrant, and there is no chili sauce on the inside of the burrito.
But the plate used to hold pancakes is really good. If it is passed down to future generations, it will be a national treasure in the Forbidden City.
Although the taste of the pancake roll was not satisfactory, Zhao Kai still put it in his mouth, took a bite, chewed a few times, swallowed it, and then asked: "Has the daily military report from the Marching Counselor Department been delivered? Is there any from Kaifeng Mansion? The news came? Wu Qimai’s army should have retreated from the vicinity of Kaifeng Mansion, right? Where are they now? "
The answer was of course Guo Tiannv. When she heard Zhao Kai's question, she immediately replied: "Reporting to everyone, the army has been fighting fiercely in Daming Mansion for the past two days. The Marching Counselor Department has many affairs and is extremely busy. I am afraid that the daily military report will be delivered later. As for Kaifeng Mansion... I have received the report today on the 20th. Han Shizhong is preparing to send troops to fight the gold thieves at 10:00 on the 21st! Because of the favorable location of Wuzhang River and the help of Liang Shanshui Army, this time The confidence of the battle is still very high.
In addition, the situation of Wu Qibu's army is unknown. However, Wu Shu's cavalry spread out east of the old route of the Yellow River and occupied many cities, including Hanzhang Town, Zhao Village, Liutaji, and Guancheng County. Wanyan Xieye's defeated army also retreated to the east of the old course of the Yellow River, occupying Kou's County, Gucheng Town, Qingshui Town, Xiajin County and other places. "
Zhao Kai frowned. The ground Guo Tiannu reported was to the east of the old Yellow River route before the second year of Xining, almost from Kaide Prefecture to the north of Daming Prefecture... This is a running route. The passage!
If Wanyan Xieye and Wanyan Wushu wanted to run away on their own, there would be no need to set up such a long snake formation. Wouldn't they just run away?
Therefore, the arrangement of Xie Ye and Wu Shu was to welcome Wu Qimai's army heading north!
"Wu Qimai is coming!" Zhao Kai muttered in a low voice, then raised his hand and slapped Wanyanyan's chest several times while she was still sleeping soundly.
"Ouch, stop fighting, I said, I said..." Wanyanyan was suddenly patted several times, and she was still a little dazed, so she was about to confess her "crime" smoothly.
Zhao Kai burst out laughing when he saw her confused look, "Yanzi, your father's soldiers are coming!"
"Really?" When Wan Yanyan heard the news, she sat up suddenly, opened her still hazy eyes, and looked at Zhao Kai, feeling a little confused for a moment.
Zhao Kai smiled and asked: "Yanzi, do you want to go back to your father's place, or do you want to be my concubine?"
Wanyan Yan immediately laughed, "Of course I will become a concubine for the official family!"
Zhao Kai smiled and said: "Then who among you can go to Jinying and bring my envoy to see your father?"
Wanyanyan blinked, "Messenger? Is the government going to make peace with my father?"
Zhao Kai smiled and shook his head, "I'm not making peace, I'm asking you to be my concubine!"
In fact, Zhao Kai just wanted to negotiate with Wu Qimai, because at this point in the war, although the Song Army had the upper hand, its strength was almost exhausted.
First of all, it is already late September, and the weather has obviously turned colder. If the war continues to be delayed and hits the ice and snow season, it will be extremely detrimental to the Song Army, which relies on the navy to assist in the war and transport supplies.
Secondly, Zhao Kai has almost used up the fierce fire oil on hand... There is no oil mining industry in the Song Dynasty now. These fierce fire oil either emerged from the ground by themselves, or were buried very shallow, whatever It's all there after digging, so the yield is very low. The fierce fire oil consumed by the Song army in the Battle of Wuzhanghe and the Battle of Damingfu were all stocks accumulated over the years.
It's almost used up now, so Zhao Kai must get other firearms...such as granular gunpowder and bombs!
This takes time!
In addition, the fighting was extremely fierce these days, the Song army suffered a lot of casualties, the army and horses were consumed even more, and it also took time to replenish.
Especially the latter, it is very troublesome... Ma Zheng of the Song Dynasty has been ruined by himself a long time ago, and after the Western Army's large-scale eastward transfer, the Western Bandits took the opportunity to expand to the Hehuang and Qingtang areas, It cut off the Song Dynasty's access to the good horses in the Western Regions. The horses were worn out but not replaced, and the consumption was huge. If this continued, his cavalry would collapse because there were no horses.
Third, Zhao Kai's army is still at a numerical disadvantage!
It is difficult for the hundreds of millions of people under his rule to be transformed into generals and soldiers...otherwise there would be no such thing as the invasion of Jin soldiers!
Zhao Kai's army was "bought" with money, so the size of the army did not depend on the total population, but on the financial revenue and expenditure.
Although the Song Dynasty had a strong ability to collect taxes, it was even more capable of spending money. In the end, tens of millions of dollars in income were spent every year, and there was not much left over.
These days, Zhao Ji's palace is working very hard to help get money from the southeast, but it still cannot support an army large enough to overwhelm the gold thieves.
And there is a process of turning money into an army... Soldiers must be trained to "997" standards, and armor and equipment must be carefully crafted.
Without three to five years of preparation, Zhao Kai really didn't dare to think about directly attacking Huanglong.
So Zhao Kai now wants to give up and make peace with Wu Qimai first... and try to get Yanshan Mansion back, even if he gives him hundreds of thousands of coins.
Wanyanyan's eyes lit up when she heard about the appointment as a concubine.
In the Song Dynasty, below the queen is the concubine!
And she really likes the man Zhao Kai...
So she hurriedly said to Zhao Kai: "Guan family, if you can trust me, I can lead the envoy personally and the marriage will be finalized!"
Make your own matchmaker...Zhao Kaixin said: The customs in the Northeast are different from those in the Central Plains!
"Okay!" Zhao Kai smiled and pinched Wanyan Yan's face, "How could I not trust you... You are all mine! But you have been tired these past few days. , your father’s army hasn’t arrived near Daming Mansion yet. So you should rest well for a few more days and wait until your father’s soldiers arrive before going!”
How many days off? Wanyanyan thought to herself: The kind that gets more tired the more you rest?
Thinking of this, the fair skin of the dough turned red, like a red apple, and every bite was full of juice!
...
When Zhao Kaizheng and Wanyanyan were on "vacation" in Daming Mansion, Emperor Wu Qimai of the Jin Dynasty was sitting in a large temple in Xingzai, Liuta Market Town, Guancheng County, Kaide Mansion, sulking. .
Can you not be angry? The crying man, Salihe, was reporting to him about the defeat of Daming Mansion while crying!
Daming Fucheng was lost, but his five little wives and his most beautiful daughter Wanyanyan were also lost!
These six are all beauties!
How can it be better if it falls into the hands of Song Jun? There are five cuckolds in one go, and a beautiful daughter who can be used to win over political allies.
Is Wu Qingbuying still in a good mood?
And even if he doesn't care about this, there is still the most difficult problem in front of him now, which is that Ban Bo Ji Lie and Wan Yan Xie also fell ill after the defeat of the Daming Army and are currently being nursed in the old town near Damingfu City. .....Looking at the place where he was recuperating, you knew he was dying! Otherwise, we have to stay away from Zhao Bupo's army anyway, right?
If Wanyan Xie dies, then who will be the new leader? Looking at the current situation, I'm afraid it's Nianhan's turn!
