Monk Chen was a famous general of the Jin Kingdom. When Zhao Tai met him for the first time, he thought that one day he would be able to use him as his own.
It's just that Zhao Tai was just a little person at that time. He knew that the Jin Kingdom was still alive and it was impossible to conquer Monk Chen, so he didn't show any eagerness to win over him later.
Zhao Tai would only take certain care of Monk Chen when assigning Song Yuan, maintain a good relationship, and wait until he develops before recruiting him.
What Zhao Tai didn't expect was that he saved Monk Chen's life in Sanfeng Mountain, but this time he failed to save him again.
Now Zhao Tai also has certain strength, but unfortunately Monk Chen has died in the battle.
Although Zhao Tai had been mentally prepared earlier and felt that the situation in Luoyang was not optimistic. Regarding the rescue operation in Luoyang, he had always had an attitude of letting fate do his best, but when he really learned that Monk Chen had been killed, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
Wuxian supported Zhao Tai and said, "Guorui, you have tried your best. I can't blame you for this."
Heda and others' eyes were slightly red, "Yes! This is God's will!"
A group of Jin army generals on the city wall were very moved when they saw Zhao Tai crying and felt that Zhao Tai was a person who valued friendship and was worthy of trust.
Among them, there are many real girls who have never regarded Zhao Tai as one of their own. But now they see that Zhao Tai's heart was broken because of the murder of Monk Chen, and they think that although Zhao Tai is Han, he can handle it.
Heda had always been wary of Zhao Tai, but now that he thought about it, although Zhao Tai colluded with the Southern Song Dynasty, he seemed to have done nothing to disgrace the Jin State, and instead helped the Jin State through difficulties several times.
Seeing Zhao Tai sad about the murder of Monk Chen, Heda felt a little ashamed. He even thought that one day he would be in trouble, and maybe Zhao Tai would be the one to save him.
The Jin army in the city all felt that Zhao Tai was a capable person, but what they didn't know was that it was this understanding that ultimately cost them a heavy price.
Of course, this is all a story for later.
At this time, under the persuasion of everyone, Zhao Tai put away his sorrow and said with tears in his eyes: "Prime Minister, I hope to exchange the broad head for Brother Liangzuo's head."
After listening to Zhao Tai's words, Yilapua nodded slightly and said, "I will ask your Majesty for instructions."
Zhao Tai said: "I will go with your husband to ask for instructions."
The Mongolian army outside the city had no intention of attacking the city, so Zhao Tai immediately entered the palace with Yilapua and met Wanyan Shouxu.
After learning that Monk Chen was killed, Wanyan Shouxu also cried bitterly, but not many people saw his heartache.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Jiedu hopes to exchange the head of Marshal Wanyan for the head of the broad head, so that the loyal minister can rest in peace!" Yila Pu'a said sadly.
Wanyan Shouxu was sitting on the dragon chair, feeling extremely sad and beating his chest, "I am deeply saddened by the loss of my general, so why should I bear the head of a dog? Prime Minister, please go and handle this matter. You must replace Monk Chen's head with a carved wooden body and give him a good burial."
Outside the city, the Mongolian cavalry provoked for a while, letting the Kaifeng defenders know that the Mongolian army destroyed the Luoyang Jin Army, killed Monk Chen, and then returned the horses to the camp.
In the Mongolian camp, Wokuotai, who had been depressed for a long time, finally found a sense of revenge.
However, this little pleasure was undoubtedly not enough compared to the damage Zhao Tai had caused him.
"Subotai!" Wo Kuotai suddenly shouted loudly.
Subotai came over in a hurry, "Great Khan! I'm here!"
Wokuotai stared at the city of Kaifeng with a sinister gaze, and said bitterly: "Do you remember how Zhao Tai's son insulted me at Hulao Pass?"
Subotai was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Ogedai meant, and whispered: "I probably remember it!"
"Okay!" Wo Kuotai immediately ordered: "Send a thousand people to the city to scold Zhao Tai back to Ben Khan for his scolding."
At that time, Zhao Tai sent people to Guanxia to insult him every day. Wo Kuotai told many Mongolian generals that they did not need to take it to heart and acted very calmly.
Subotai now understood that Wo Kuotai was not so tolerant as he showed. He immediately saluted and said, "Don't worry, Khan. I will arrange manpower to scold Zhao Taina in the city every day."
At Hulao Pass, Zhao Tai scolded him no matter what, but now in Wokuotai, people scold Zhao Tai no matter how hard he scolded him.
At first, Wokuotai was afraid of Zhao Tai's thunder, so he did not dare to go out for a decisive battle, and endured Zhao Tai's abuse. But now that his army gathered outside the city, Zhao Tai also did not dare to come out, and it was Zhao Tai's turn to be scolded.
Subotai received the order and immediately dispatched a thousand Han troops to fight at the gates of Kaifeng City.
Suddenly, a strange spectacle appeared under the city of Kaifeng. This was obviously a war between Mongolia and the Jin Kingdom. However, the Mongolian army did not curse the Jin Kingdom and its emperor, but specifically insulted Zhao Tai, a military governor.
Zhao Taihe moved Lapua out of the palace, and when they heard the insults coming from outside the city, they couldn't help but stop.
At this time, Pu'a heard the insults of the Mongolian army clearly and couldn't help but look at Zhao Tai, while Zhao Tai frowned. He felt Pu'a's gaze and couldn't help but smile: "Haha~ This nest of Kuotai is so small-minded. He is taking revenge on me!"
Pu'a listened to the filthy words coming from outside the city, "Guorui, you have been wronged for Dajin."
Zhao Tai secretly wrote down Wo Kuotai's insults to him in his heart. As a master who never takes revenge overnight, he was naturally angry and must write it down in his notebook. However, the Mongolian army's scolding him was actually to give him publicity.
Now everyone in Kaifeng knows that the Mongols hate him. When the Jin Kingdom is destroyed, he will be able to gather many people who are determined to resist the Mongols around him with a single shout.
Zhao Tai said in a deep voice: "This is nothing. I defeated Kuaduan and captured Zhengzhou. It is normal for me to suffer the hatred of the Mongolian army. The Prime Minister does not need to take this matter to heart. Please send someone to the Mongolian camp immediately to bring it to justice." Marshal Wanyan’s head has been replaced so that he can be buried as soon as possible.”
After Wokuotai sent Kublai Khan to plunder Henan Dongzhou County, the Mongolian army stayed in the camp to rest.
The Mongolian army in the camp did not prepare siege equipment, but only sent cavalry to monitor the four gates of Kaifeng to prevent the Jin army in the city from leaving Kaifeng.
At dusk, the Mongolian army who was scolding returned to the camp, and Wo Kuotai, who was angry, also returned to the big tent.
At this time, the west gate of Kaifeng City opened, and an official walked out. As soon as he left the city, he was intercepted by the Mongolian army outside the city.
The Jin official explained his intention, and the Mongolian army took him back for a body search and reported to Wokuotai.
Because Zhao Tai poisoned Tuo Lei, the Mongolian high-level officials strengthened their protection of their own safety. The Mongolian army almost stripped the envoy naked and searched, and only brought the envoy to the big tent after confirming that it was safe.
In the big tent, Wo Kuotai was sitting on a big animal skin chair. The soldiers on both sides stood with their swords drawn. He glanced at the Jin envoy and said coldly: "The Emperor of Jin asked you to come here, but he wanted to negotiate a peace and wanted me to withdraw. . You will present Zhao Tai’s dog head first, and then I will agree to have a talk with you.”
The envoy was surprised. The Great Khan of Mongolia hated Xianggong Zhao. He cursed him all day long, but he still couldn't get rid of his anger. He wanted Xianggong Zhao's head when he opened his mouth.
