The cavalryman fell off his horse, and everyone was shocked. Monk Chen stepped forward to check, helped him up, and asked: "What's going on?"
There were still several broken arrows stuck in the back of the cavalryman, and there were many wounds on his body. The blood had solidified on his armor.
He raised his head with difficulty and pointed to the west: "The Mongols are coming~"
Before he finished speaking, he passed out, leaving Wanyan Shouxu and others shocked.
The Mongolian cavalry came and went like the wind. It was no problem to attack one hundred and sixty miles in a day, and it was no problem to march two to three hundred miles in a hurry.
The messenger cavalry pointed to the west. It should be the Mongolian army occupying Zhengzhou.
Zhengzhou is not far from Bianjing. If the Mongolian cavalry is fast, they will reach the city soon.
The minister of the Kingdom of Jin, Yi Lapua, raised his hands and shouted in a panic: "The Mongols are coming, hurry up, escort your majesty back to the city immediately!"
His shout caused the soldiers and civilians outside Bianjing City to fall into chaos instantly.
A group of officials hurriedly surrounded Wanyan Shouxu and hurriedly retreated into the city. The people outside the city also hurriedly retreated. The crowd crowded each other and trampled more than ten people to death.
This made Wanyan Shouxu feel quite guilty. Zhao Tai was dumbfounded and felt heavy.
Looking at the reaction of the soldiers and civilians of Bianjing, Zhao Tai knew that even with his victory, the soldiers and civilians of Bianjing were deeply afraid of Mongolia.
The Mongols destroyed forty kingdoms, massacred cities without any plan, and almost all the Xixia party members were slaughtered, which would make anyone shudder.
After the soldiers and civilians of Bianjing withdrew into the city, further news came that the Mongols who came to kill were indeed the Mongolian troops occupying Zhengzhou.
This Mongolian army is personally commanded by the Mongolian Khan Ogedai. It is quite strong and a fierce battle is about to take place.
Now that the main force of the Jin Kingdom has been lost, how to defend Bianjing City in the face of the menacing Mongolian army has become a thorny problem.
Wokuotai led a large army to attack, which instantly shattered the illusions of the kings and ministers of the Jin Kingdom.
Mongolia has lost Tuo Lei and still has Wo Kuotai. The situation between Mongolia and Jin has not changed, and the Jin Kingdom is still in danger.
In the Imperial Palace of the Kingdom of Jin, Wanyan Shouxu gathered his strength and said, "Guys, I wanted to celebrate your victory, but I didn't want the Mongolian army to suddenly attack. Now I must try to defend against the Mongols first. I don't know if you can defend yourself against the enemy. Strategy."
Wokuotai led the Mongolian soldiers to fight over, making all the Jin ministers look heavy.
At this time, Yi Ya Pu'ad said: "Your Majesty, the capital has millions of grains. However, the Mongols are coming from thousands of miles away, and the people and horses are exhausted. We only need to let the prefectures and counties along the Nanjing road have strong walls and clear the country. After the Mongols enter Bianjing, they will not be able to attack the city. , and there is no food to eat. When the teacher runs out of food, he will retreat."
The Mongols marched without food and mainly relied on local plundering to obtain supplies.
Now that the Jin Kingdom has no field soldiers, the purpose of moving to Pu'a is to erect the walls and clear the country, burn the people's food and houses, and fill up the wells, so that the Mongols have no place to live, no food to eat, and even Drinking water is a problem, so the Mongols will retreat.
Zhao Tai stood at the end and after listening to this suggestion, he thought Wanyan Shouxu would adopt it, but he saw him sighing: "Is there no other way?"
Many Jin ministers, including Monk Chen and Wuxian, had no better strategy.
When Wanyan Shouxu saw no one speaking, he sighed again, "In the twenty years since the imperial court traveled south, millions of people have crowded into a corner of Henan. The people in the Central Plains sold their houses and land, their sons and daughters, to support the soldiers and the imperial court. Now the Mongols are coming to kill them. , the imperial court cannot defeat the Mongols, but it wants the people to destroy their houses and land, I really can’t bear it! Even if I can save the capital, what else can I do in the world? Alas! Life or death is determined by destiny, and I would rather subjugate the country than let down the people."
Although the Mongols would loot, they would always slip through the net, and the people could still survive after the war. However, if the walls were fortified and the Mongolian soldiers retreated, the people would probably be hungry and cold, unable to survive.
Moreover, the Jin Kingdom occupies the Central Plains and blocks Mongolia from invading the Song Kingdom from the south. If the Jin Kingdom is not destroyed, they will launch wave after wave of attacks until they completely conquer the Jin Kingdom.
In this case, the Jin Kingdom was constantly being invaded. It was impossible for the Mongols to come and clear the country just once. The Jin Kingdom was indeed hopeless.
Zhao Tai couldn't help but raise his head and glance at Wanyan Shouxu, feeling somewhat sympathetic to Wanyan Shouxu.
At this time, many Jin ministers felt sad after hearing Wanyan Shouxu's words, but they came up with other methods.
Just when the atmosphere of despair filled the hall, Zhao Tai suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have a plan to repel the Mongolian soldiers!"
Wanyan Shouxu was stunned for a moment and couldn't believe it. Monk Chen, Wuxian and others also looked sideways.
Yilapua, who was standing in the hall, frowned and looked at Zhao Tai in surprise.
"What's your plan?" Wanyan Shouxu was a little surprised, but thinking that the young man in front of him was a brave and resourceful man who could kill Tuo Lei with poison, he ignited a glimmer of hope, "If you can defeat the enemy, I will not hesitate to reward you." .”
Zhao Tai actually had no idea, but he had to take advantage of the fact that the Kingdom of Jin still had two years to build up its reputation and prestige.
In this way, after the Jin Kingdom is destroyed, he will be able to rely on his accumulated reputation to call on the people in the Jin Kingdom to follow him.
There are grievances between the Jin Kingdom and the Southern Song Dynasty. When the Jin Kingdom dies, the grievances will be settled. By then, the obstacles for him to lead the people of the northern Han Dynasty to form an alliance with the Southern Song Dynasty will be much smaller.
Zhao Tai gave it up and said, "Your Majesty, my plan must be kept secret. I can't say it yet. Your Majesty will know it when it is completed. Now that the Mongols are approaching the city, Your Majesty is not willing to clear the country and destroy the people's property, but he still Your Majesty, please bring the people within the territory into the city to avoid being massacred by the Mongolian army, and then allow them to leave the city to farm after the Mongolian army retreats."
"What strategy can't you tell your Majesty?" Yila Pu'a was a little unhappy. He was Wanyan Shouxu's favorite and felt that Zhao Tai was a threat.
It was impossible for Wanyan Shouxu to believe that he was a man who had just defected from Mongolia. He frowned slightly, but still waved his hand for Yi Lapua to step back. Then he stared at Zhao Tai and asked: "Since you don't explain the plan, I won't ask for the time being." . Just how many troops do you need from me to allocate you to implement your strategy?"
Zhao Tai waved his hand, "Your Majesty does not need to mobilize troops, it is enough for me and the people I brought here!"
Wokuotai was a Mongol Khan who commanded an army of tens of thousands. Many Jin ministers were shocked after hearing his words and felt that this boy was a bit arrogant.
Yi La Pu'a was even more unhappy, "You are arrogant. You, a small member of the Mongolian army, dare to boast so much. Do you think that all the great Jin, civil and military officials are useless?"
Zhao Tai glanced at Yi La Pu'a. He didn't want to conflict with the powerful enemy, "I don't need the Jin Kingdom to deploy a single soldier, so why not let your majesty give me a try? I succeeded, and Bianjing was protected. I If it fails, there will be no loss to the Kingdom of Jin.”
Wanyan Shouxu couldn't help but admire, "Okay, if you can defeat the enemy, I will make you the Marquis of Wanhu."
Wanyan Shouxu had long thought that if Zhao Tai asked for tens of thousands of troops, he would be nothing more than Zhao Kuo, and he would naturally not hand over his army to a hundred households.
But Zhao Tai does not want soldiers and horses, which shows that he has a strategy in his heart and is a great talent.
Zhao Tai clasped his fists, looked around at everyone, and said loudly: "Then please, Your Majesty and all the gentlemen in the hall, wait and see."
