After hearing this, Monk Chen and Wu Xian shook their heads. The Kingdom of Jin had sued for peace from the Southern Song Dynasty several times, hoping to get support from the Southern Song Dynasty, but they were all rejected by the Southern Song Dynasty.
Who do you think you are just because your surname is Zhao?
Monk Chen patted Zhao Tai on the shoulder, "I see, Brother Zhao, you are passionate, but the Southern Song Dynasty still remembers the grudge against our Jin country. If you go to the Southern Song Dynasty, forget about their emperor, I'm afraid their yamen will be involved." Not going."
In the eyes of Monk Chen, Zhao Tai is a low-level officer with integrity and passion.
How could such a person, who was humble and humble, talk to the Southern Song Dynasty?
Zhao Tai said in a deep voice: "Actually, I am a descendant of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin and the eighth generation grandson of Qin King Zhao Defang!"
Zhao Tai doesn't know whether this identity is true or not, but judging from the reactions of his subordinates before, they are probably just bragging and should not be taken seriously.
At this time, Zhao Tai decided to temporarily use this identity regardless of whether it was true or false, in order to obtain benefits from the Kingdom of Jin.
However, Zhao Tai didn't know the seniority and genealogy of the old Zhao emperor. He didn't know whether the current emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty should call him, "Uncle!"
Monk Chen's hand froze, and he looked surprised. He changed his patting to caressing and brushed the dust off Zhao Tai's shoulder, "Brother Zhao, are you a member of the Song Dynasty clan?"
The current emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty is the tenth grandson of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin and the ninth grandson of Zhao Dezhao. If what Zhao Tai said is true, Zhao Tai is really the emperor's uncle.
After Song Taizu, the throne of the Song Dynasty was controlled by Song Taizong for a long time. However, in the Southern Song Dynasty, because Gaozong was frightened by the Jin soldiers and lost his fertility, and he believed that "after Taizu, there will be another world", the throne was returned. It was given to Song Taizu.
If what Zhao Tai said is true, then it is really possible for him to talk to the Southern Song Dynasty court.
Although the identity of Zhao Taibian is the same as that of Liu Bei's Queen Jing of Zhongshan, her relationship with the current Southern Song Dynasty royal family is very alienated, and she has been out of the fifth server for a long time.
Even if others criticize the eight generations of ancestors of the Southern Song emperors, they can't criticize Zhao Tai. The blood relationship is quite sparse, but his surname is Zhao after all.
For today's Jin Kingdom, this is a straw that can be grasped.
Monk Chen and Wu Xian were surprised, and their attitudes towards Zhao Tai had obviously changed.
Even if they learned that Zhao Tai poisoned Tuo Lei before, they did not put him on the same level as them.
Now that they heard him say that he was from Zhao Song's clan, the two of them no longer looked down on him, nor did they act like the elder brother.
Zhao Tai puffed up his chest and said, "The Jin Kingdom has many grievances and grievances. However, since the rise of Mongolia, it has destroyed several countries. If you believe me, I am willing to try to persuade the Song Dynasty. And now the Jin Kingdom still has a road to Nanjing, millions of soldiers and civilians, white mountains and black waters." , and the Eastern Xia Kingdom established by the old Jurchen tribe, the two generals must not give up easily!"
"If Young Master Zhao comes forward, it might really be possible!" After hearing Zhao Tai's words, Wu Xian looked at Monk Chen, "We can't give up easily!"
Monk Chen cheered up, "Brother Zhao is right! Let's go back to Kaifeng first, and I want to introduce you to His Majesty! Please entrust you to be entrusted as envoy to the Song Dynasty!"
Now everyone calmed down and counted the men and horses, and found that Baiqi only lost more than ten people.
If you include Hu Zhen and others who were brought out by Zhao Tai, not only are there not fewer people, but there are dozens more horses.
This made everyone sigh again, the Mongols are nothing more than this.
Everyone who regained their confidence took another look at the burning Mongolian camp. When they heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance, they knew it was the Mongolian pursuers, so they swung away with their horses under their belly.
Because the main force of the Mongolian army was chasing the defeated Jin army to the north, the group could only run eastward first, then turn north, bypassing Junzhou and heading to Kaifeng.
On the way, Monk Chen couldn't help but ask: "Brother Zhao, what you said in the Meng camp was a plan to alienate people?"
Zhao Tai looked at Monk Chen and nodded slightly, "The general knows everything! It is indeed a divorce plan!"
Wu Xian couldn't help but ask: "What's the divorce plan?"
He went to burn grain and grass and did not hear the conversation between Zhao Tai and Kublai Khan.
The three rode horses side by side, and they surrounded Zhao Tai in the middle. They listened to him mutter: "Now Mongolia is too powerful for Song and Jin. If we want to defeat him, in addition to Song and Jin joining forces to fight against Mongolia, The Mongols must still be plunged into chaos!"
When Zhao Tai saw the two men nodding, he continued: "The Mongols originated in the desert and were not transformed into kings. The inheritance system is relatively chaotic. If we follow the Mongolian tradition of "the youngest son guarding the stove", after Temujin's death, the throne of Khan should be passed on. To Lei, but when the Mongols invaded the south, they also absorbed a large number of Khitans who were converted to the Central Plains like Yelu Chucai, as well as Han people from the north who were civil servants and accepted some ideas from the Central Plains. As a result, Ogedai inherited the throne of Khan!"
The inheritance system of the grassland people is very different from that of the Central Plains. The reason why "the youngest son guards the stove" is because I and my elder brothers often go out to plunder and may not be able to come back. Every time they go on an expedition, they always keep the youngest brother. Housekeeping has this tradition.
Under this inheritance system, the youngest son inherits the family business in the end. However, this system also brings instability. If the elder brother is not dead, he may not be willing to accept it. Therefore, in the northern nomadic regime, when the old Khan dies, he often Internal strife occurred.
In this regard, the Jin Kingdom, which was also occupied by the northern ethnic groups in the Central Plains, also had similar problems in the succession to the throne. Since the founding of the Jin Kingdom, the succession to the throne has also been subject to constant coups and internal strife.
Zhao Tai knew that after Temujin's death, there were many internal battles for the throne of Khan in Mongolia, and eventually it split into four khanates.
His conversation with Kublai Khan hinted at the Tuo Lei group, and that Wokuotai wanted to get rid of Tuo Lei and add fuel to Mongolia's internal strife.
Zhao Tai said while riding on horseback: "Now Mongolia's Wo Kuotai is the Great Khan, but Tuo Lei, as the youngest son guarding the stove, has far more troops than Wo Kuotai. I said it was Wo Kuotai who sent me to poison, so he I hope to provoke a fight between Wokuotai and Tuo Lei. If they fight among themselves, we will have time to regain our strength!"
Monk Chen and Wu Xian couldn't help but look at each other, both very surprised that Zhao Tai could use such a strategy.
Wu Xian felt that Mr. Zhao was a great talent, very resourceful and extraordinary.
These few words of his are equivalent to pointing out the direction for the Jin Kingdom. If they unite with the Southern Song Dynasty and alienate Mongolia, the Jin Kingdom will still have a chance.
Monk Chen suddenly felt that the future was no longer slim, and that the Jin Kingdom might really have a chance. While he was happy, he was also a little lucky that the emperor of the Song Kingdom was not Zhao Tai.
In fact, the strength of the Song Dynasty was not weak. In the Song-Jin War, there were Yue Fei and Han Shizhong. In the Song-Mongolian War, the Song Dynasty actually had famous generals who could defeat the Mongolian army, such as Meng Gong and Yu Jie, who had defeated the Mongolian army. Resist the Mongolian army, but every time the situation improves slightly, the soul of Zhao Gou of the old Zhao family awakens, begins to doubt the generals, and destroys the Great Wall.
During the war between Jin and Song, they killed Yue Fei and ruined the possibility of recovering the country.
During the war between Mongolia and Song Dynasty, the situation improved slightly, but they were suspicious of Meng Gong again, forcing Meng Gong to resign and died with regret, destroying his Great Wall again.
If there was any weakness in the Song Dynasty, it might be the emperor of the old Zhao family.
Zhao Tai gave the Song Dynasty a prescription, which was to change the emperor. If he didn't change the person, the problem probably wouldn't be solved.
"Master Zhao, this plan is very clever!" Wu Xian seemed to see a glimmer of hope and praised Zhao Tai.
Monk Chen also said: "I want to report to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to reward you!"
