Zhao Tai pondered for a while, "Wo Kuotai didn't instruct me to poison me, so in his opinion, this must be a divorce plan!"
Monk Chen nodded slightly, "Indeed, Kublai Khan is not clear about it, but Wokuotaimen is clear about it!"
"This means that spreading the news that Kublai Khan withdrew his troops and seized the throne cannot be spread directly from our side to the Meng camp!" Zhao Tai analyzed: "Wokuotai knows that we are driving a wedge between him and the Tuo Lei family. If it is us, He said, if Kublai Khan believed that he poisoned Tuo Lei and withdrew his troops back to the grassland to seize the throne, then he definitely didn’t believe it!”
Monk Chen nodded, "What you said makes sense. This means that we can't just shoot a few letters and it will end! What should we do?"
Zhao Tai said in a deep voice: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs. Only by pretending to be a messenger in the Tuo Lei Army and delivering the news to Wo Kuotai can he believe it!"
Monk Chen frowned and looked at Zhao Tai, "Then the messenger must be reliable and be prepared to sacrifice!"
Zhao Taidao: "In addition, we need to send an elite army out of the city. When Wo Kuotai gets the news, he will definitely want to confirm it, and he will definitely send people to explore in the direction of Yuzhou. We must intercept these spies, and it is best to dress up as Kublai Khan’s people!”
Monk Chen nodded, a little surprised in his heart. When he did this, Wo Kuotai must have thought that Kublai Khan had fallen into the trap of alienation. He thought that he poisoned Tuo Lei and wanted to go back to Mongolia to gather troops and seek an explanation from him.
In this way, Wokuotai could only retreat.
Monk Chen asked: "Is there anyone chosen for the messenger?"
Zhao Tai looked at Hu Zhen, "That's him!"
Monk Chen frowned slightly, "I have warriors here who are not afraid of death and can be sent to you!"
Hu Zhen lowered her head after hearing this. It was obvious that Monk Chen did not trust him.
After all, he ran out with them because Zhao Tai poisoned him and was implicated by Zhao Tai. He was forced anyway.
If he went to the Meng camp and revealed Zhao Tai's plan to prove that he had nothing to do with the poisoning case, it would be a big deal.
Zhao Tai said: "The messenger doesn't just have to be unafraid of death. He must also be smart and understand the situation in the mine-trapping army. I believe in Lao Hu, he is the best candidate!"
Hu Zhen couldn't help but look up at Zhao Tai, and then said: "I promise to complete the task!"
Seeing this, Monk Chen was still a little worried, but when Zhao Tai insisted, he couldn't say anything.
In fact, there is a reason why Zhao Tai trusts Hu Zhen.
That night Zhao Tai followed Monk Chen to rob the camp. About forty or fifty of his former subordinates followed him and ran out of the Mongolian camp.
However, the reason why they left the Mongolian camp was because Zhao Tai poisoned Tuo Lei. It was not because they really wanted to leave Mongolia and join Zhao Tai's anti-Mongolian cause and become the original shareholders.
Therefore, after arriving in Bianjing, Zhao Tai took out the gold, silver and copper coins that the Emperor of Jin had given him, and gathered these people together.
Then Zhao Tai asked those who still had family members alive among them to stand up, gave each of them some money, and asked them to sneak back home and take their families to hide.
Tolei is the fourth son of Temujin, and he also served as a supervisor for several years. Their family has great influence in Mongolia.
Tuo Lei was poisoned, Tuo Lei and his family will definitely not give up and will definitely set off bloody revenge.
At that time, they would not care whether these people were involved or not. With the Mongolians' brutal way of treating the Han people, they would definitely kill their entire family.
The anti-Mongolian cause is very dangerous. These people are not loyal to Zhao Tai and may become a hidden danger if they stay with him.
So Zhao Tai let them go, but at the same time he said, "If you are still willing to hang out with me in the future, bring your family to me. If not, then find a place to live a good life."
The Mongols killed too many people and severely destroyed the area. In many areas, effective rule was not established and there was no household registration system. People who fled and escaped from the war were everywhere. It was easy to avoid the Mongolian officials and live incognito.
These people took Zhao Tai's money and left Bianjing one after another, returned to Yandi, and quickly moved their families with them before the Mongols captured them.
Of the nearly fifty people, most of them left at once, leaving less than twenty people.
Zhao Tai said to them again, "If you are willing to follow me, if you have my meat to eat from now on, you will have your soup to drink. If you are not willing, then I will give you a sum of money as usual, and you can find your own way out!"
Now that Mongolia is offering a reward for his capture, Zhao Tai feels that the more people staying around, the better.
In this way, half of them were gone, and in the end only Hu Zhen and ten others were left.
Hu Zhen didn't leave, which surprised Zhao Tai. After all, his previous attitude didn't seem to respect him very much.
Zhao Tai asked him why, but he always talked vaguely. It was not until the night when he was sent out of the city that Hu Zhen suddenly said, "Actually, my family was killed by the Mongols."
Zhao Taicai learned that when Mongolia and the Jin Kingdom were at war in Yandi, one time Hu Zhen came back from hunting, only to find that the entire village had been killed by the Mongolian army.
He cried while holding the bodies of his wife and children, then burned the village, left his hometown and joined Zhang Rou's army, but Zhang Rou was quickly defeated and surrendered.
Later, he took refuge in several anti-Mongolian armed forces, but these armed forces were either wiped out by the Mongolian army or surrendered to Mongolia.
After experiencing many failures, he felt desperate and had the idea that the Mongols were invincible. In order to survive and make a living, he finally chose to join Shi Tianze's army, and soon raised his butcher knife and followed the Mongolian army to kill. People, looting property.
This was a painful memory for him, so he didn't want to think about it.
Although he has no relatives now, he actually has a concubine in Zhongzhong. However, he knows that the girl is only with him because he has money and can give her a place to live and pay for her expenses. She can do it with someone else.
Zhao Tai poisoned Tuo Lei and robbed the camp with hundreds of horses, which aroused Hu Zhen's hatred for the Mongols. He could have left, but for some reason, he stayed behind by some strange combination of circumstances.
After hearing Hu Zhen's story, Zhao Tai talked with several other people individually and found that they had a common characteristic, that is, their relatives died in the war, and they had no choice but to drift with the tide in order to survive.
After understanding everyone's experiences, Zhao Taicai decided to keep them. Since he decided to use them for his own use, he would not trust the people he employed and not the people he suspected.
Hu Zhen went to investigate Kublai Khan's mission and completed it well. Zhao Tai decided to let him be a messenger, and sent a message to Wo Kuotai in the name of Shi Tianze.
Monk Chen was silent for a while, and finally compromised, "Okay! Leave the task of intercepting and killing the Mongolian horses to me!"
Zhao Tai smiled and said: "I don't get what I asked for, but when things come true, General, don't want to share my merits!"
Monk Chen asked: "What reward does Brother Zhao want? I will tell His Majesty on your behalf when the time comes."
Zhao Taidao: "If possible, I want to go to Xuzhou, go south to contact the Southern Song Dynasty for you, and go north to collect Shandong for you!"
