Zhao Tai sent Qian Yifeng away and asked him to go back to the city to see Zhang Rou.
When Qian Yifeng bowed and left the account, Zhao Tai smiled and said, "As the military advisor expected, Zhang Rou wants to spend money to eliminate the disaster."
Wang Bin was not happy, "Zhang Rou is giving in now, I'm afraid he is slowing down the fight."
Zhao Tai pondered when he heard the words. He reasoned about Zhang Rou's psychology. First of all, he must be disgusted and hated Zhongyi Town. Secondly, he was willing to spend money, which was just a temporary measure. Most likely, he wanted to make Zhongyi Town withdraw its troops first and wait for Wokuotai to be destroyed. In the Kingdom of Jin, the Mongols freed up their hands, and he came to Zhongyi Town for revenge.
Zhao Tai nodded slightly, but then smiled and said: "Zhang Rou is definitely not convinced now, but it doesn't matter to me. I'll give him a hard blow, and then ask him for a hostage. No matter what his plans are, I will All goals were achieved.”
Wang Bin listened to Zhao Tai's words and nodded, "Commander is wise. We took Zhang Rou's money, and then asked for the hostage of his close relatives. Zhang Rou consumed a large amount of money, it will be difficult to recover in a short time, and she cannot pose a threat to us. If he wants to attack us in the future, then we will threaten him with beheading his protons."
In Wei County, Zhang Rouzheng had dinner with several subordinates.
As one of the six powerful princes in the past, Zhang Rou naturally had a few tricks up her sleeve to be able to rank among the six powerful towns.
Zhang Rou came from a poor background and was just a small landowner. Against the background of the Mongolian invasion from the south, people from all over the country formed villages to protect themselves. Zhang Rou also raised a team and was reluctantly appointed as the county magistrate by the Jin Kingdom.
Although the official was small and there were not many people, Zhang Rou shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers and won the support of his subordinates and a group of township parties, allowing him to gradually become bigger and stronger.
At this time, Zhang Rou and his subordinates were eating pancakes. He had been a little angry recently and his mouth was full of blisters. He could only break the pancakes into pieces and put them into the broth to eat.
"Commander, Mr. Qian is back." A subordinate suddenly reported.
Zhang Rou already had a toothache and no appetite. After hearing the news, he didn't care about eating or drinking, so he ordered his subordinates, "Invite Mr. Qian to the second hall and wait!"
Qian Yifeng came to the outer hall and waited for Zhang Rou to summon him, but Zhang Rou came out directly.
"Commander!" Qian Yifeng saluted.
Zhang Rou walked up to him, waved her hand, indicating that he didn't need to be polite, and then asked impatiently: "Can we see Zhao Tai?"
Qian Yifeng nodded, "After I left the city, I entered the enemy's camp. Zhao Tai met me personally."
Zhang Rou raised her eyebrows, feeling that something was amiss, "What did Zhao Tai say?"
Qian Yifeng said in a deep voice: "Zhao Tai agreed to withdraw his troops and asked for 10,000 guan in money and 50,000 shi in food. In addition, he was worried that the commander-in-chief would become his enemy in the future after he retreated. He suspected that this was the commander-in-chief's plan to slow down the troops, so he hoped to negotiate with the commander-in-chief. See you handsome!"
Zhang Rou frowned and said, "This Zhao Tai, why should I meet him?"
Having said that, Zhang Rou still agreed to meet Zhao Tai.
Qian Yifeng went to communicate at that moment, and they agreed on a time and place that night, as well as how many people each party would bring.
Early the next morning, Zhang Rou led a hundred personal guards to the eastern suburbs of Wei County. The two sides set up a shed three hundred steps away from the city as a temporary meeting place.
Zhang Rou came out cautiously. When he arrived at the shed, Zhao Tai hadn't come yet.
At this time, Zhang Rou asked people to check it repeatedly and found that there was no problem, so she felt relieved.
"Commander, there's no problem!" The soldier came from the shed.
Zhang Rou looked around and found that there were no artillery groups or ambushes.
Not long after, Zhao Tai arrived belatedly with about a hundred people. He laughed loudly when he was far away and said: "Haha~ Marshal Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?"
The corner of Zhang Rou's mouth twitched, she smiled softly and gritted her teeth, "Thanks to Marshal Zhao, it's very good."
Zhao Tai smiled slightly and didn't care. He knew that he was being treated cruelly, but he enjoyed the feeling of knowing that his enemy was cruel to him but that he could not do anything about it.
"Haha~" Zhao Tai walked up to Zhang Rou, "Shuai Zhang wants me to withdraw my troops, I'm afraid I will have to consider this!"
Zhang Rou's heart trembled. She knew that the situation was stronger than others and did not dare to continue to be weird. "Marshal Zhao, what is there to consider about this matter? Wo Kuotai Khan is about to break through Kaifeng. Marshal Zhao should go back to Shandong to set up defenses. Why was he wasting time in Hebei? !”
Zhao Tai looked at Zhang Rou and said with a serious face: "I am worried that after I withdraw my troops, Marshal Zhang will assist the Mongols to attack me, so I want to take advantage of Wokuotai to besiege Kaifeng and have no time to take care of Hebei. Got Marshal Zhang!"
Hearing this, Zhang Rou was speechless for a moment, then praised for a moment: "Marshal Zhao is so candid! However, Marshal Zhao can rest assured that as long as Marshal Zhao withdraws his troops, I promise that I will not take the initiative to attack Shandong later!"
Zhao Taidao: "We can't worry about this unless Marshal Zhang can send one of his sons as hostage!"
Zhang Rou's face darkened, she didn't expect Zhao Tai to be so difficult and excessive.
Liu Bang was trapped in Baishan Mountain, and the Turkic troops came to Chang'an. Liu Bang and Li Shimin gave money, and the Xiongnu and Turks retreated.
Not only did you, Zhao Tai, collect money, but you also asked me to send my son as a hostage. You are really worse than a barbarian.
"Commander Zhao!" Zhang Rou said with a heavy tone and a serious face, "After all, I am a minister of Mongolia, and I must obey Mongolia's orders sometimes. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate for me to send my son as a hostage!"
Zhao Tai smiled and said: "Don't worry, Marshal Zhang, I will make a judgment when the time comes. As long as you are not sincerely helping Mongolia, I will not kill Proton Drop at every turn! After all, I can distinguish between doing things with all my heart and doing things perfunctorily!" "
Zhang Ju said: "Let me think about it."
Zhao Tai waved his hand and said: "There is no discussion on this matter. Otherwise, Marshal Zhang will return to Wei County and wait for me to break the city and crown the whole clan!"
"You~" Zhang Rou was furious, but he swallowed back the words that came to his lips, "Humph, a man can bend and stretch. When the Great Khan destroys the Kingdom of Jin, I will repay you twice as much for today's shame!"
Zhang Rou said with a dark face, "Okay! I agree to Marshal Zhao's conditions."
Zhao Tai smiled and said: "Since ancient times, there has been no luck for hundreds of years. You and I are both Han people. Marshal Zhang should not serve the Mongols wholeheartedly. He should be considered as a plan for future generations. Since Marshal Zhang agreed, he will send out the money, food and protons tomorrow, and I will withdraw immediately." .”
Zhang Rou nodded, unwilling to talk to Zhao Tai more. Even seeing Zhao Tai's handsome face made him extremely angry and felt uncomfortable.
The two parties ended the meeting in a hurry. Zhang Rou returned to the city and asked someone to send Zhao Tai 10,000 guan in money and 50,000 shi in grain.
He returned to the mansion and gathered his family together to discuss who to send as hostage.
Several of Zhang Rou's wives and concubines were unwilling to send their sons there. Finally, Zhang Rou made the decision to send her four-year-old son Zhang Hongyan to Zhao Tai's army.
Zhao Tai asked Zhang Rou to deliver it tomorrow. Perhaps Zhang Rou didn't want to see Zhao Tai again, so she sent the money, food and hostages after returning to the city.
In Zhao Tai's military tent, Zhao Tai looked at the concubine and Zhang Hongyan sent by Zhang Rou, narrowed his eyes and asked: "What is your name, and who is your father?"
Zhang Hongyan replied in a childish voice: "My name is Zhang Hongyan. My father is from Wanhu, Mongolia, and is the marshal of the capital."
Zhao Tai stared at him, "You have to remember that your father is a traitor and a bandit that everyone can kill!"
