Zhao Tai was not surprised when he heard that Li Fen wanted to marry him. At the banquet yesterday, he noticed that something was not right with Li Fen, and Yang Miaozhen looked at him frequently.
Zhao Tai has no objection to the marriage.
In his current status, there is no love between children, and marriage must take politics into consideration.
At his age, when he was full of fire and pitched his tent every morning, it was impossible to say he didn't want women.
However, Zhao Tai has strong control and has already planned for his marriage. The person he marries must be someone who is helpful to his career.
Zhao Tai frowned slightly, "Since it's a marriage, why is she just Yang Miaozhen's niece?"
In fact, Zhao Tai also wanted to strengthen his relationship with Li Fen, and marriage was a way to tie the two towns together, eliminate barriers, and increase trust.
Facing the pressure from Mongolia, it is best for the three towns of Qidi to marry each other.
If Zhao Tai is now married to Wuxian and marries Li Fen, the relationship between the three towns will be closer.
Therefore, after Zhao Tai discovered Li Fen's intention, he was looking forward to the marriage. Since there was a marriage, it should be done by direct relatives.
When Zhao Tai heard that she was just Li Fen's cousin, he felt that Li Fen had reservations.
Wang Bin understood what Zhao Tai meant, "Commander, according to my humble knowledge, Li Fen's daughter is still young and there is no possibility of marriage. Yang Miaozhen's niece Yang Guiying, although not Li Fen's biological sister, is the daughter of Yang An'er, the former leader of the Red Coat Army. . Although Yang An'er has been dead for many years, most of the people in Shandong are Yang An'er's old troops. Even Li Fen's army was developed by the Red Coat Army. Therefore, I thought that if the commander-in-chief married Yang Guiying, he could bring the commander-in-chief and Shandong closer. The relationship with the former Red Coat Army is of great benefit to controlling Shandong."
"Oh?" Zhao Tai was a little surprised, "She is definitely Yang An'er's daughter!"
Wang Bin said: "It is said that after Yang An'er died, Yang Miaozhen took his widow and treated her daughter as his own daughter."
Zhao Tai looked at Wang Bin and saw that he was saying good things, so he asked: "So you are in favor of the marriage?"
Wang Bin said: "Marriage is a family affair of the commander-in-chief. I can't say much about it. However, the commander-in-chief asked the commander-in-chief and the commander-in-chief suggested that he accept the marriage."
Zhao Tai frowned and said: "I heard from the military advisor that if it is Yang An'er's daughter, this marriage can be done, but I am a little unclear. When Li Fen and I marry, aren't they following Sun Quan's example of losing his wife and losing his troops?"
Yang An'er is the leader of the Red Coat Army. Most of the armed forces in Shandong are now from the Red Coat Army. Even Li Fen's men are also members of the Red Coat Army.
Therefore, in Zhao Tai's view, if he can marry Yang An'er's daughter, it will undoubtedly increase Zhao Tai's influence in Shandong, making many armed forces in Shandong feel very close to Zhao Tai. When mentioning Zhao Tai, they will think of the old commander. son in law.
Thinking of this, Zhao Tai was a little confused about Li Fen's desire to marry. Could it be that he didn't want to compete for the alliance leader, but really wanted to marry Qin and Jin.
Wang Bin said in a deep voice: "I thought that Li Fen had Sun Quan's intentions. Maybe he thought he was better than Sun Quan!"
Zhao Tai stroked his beard and said, "This matter is worth it anyway. Let Peng Huizu come in and see what he says!"
Wang Bin nodded and immediately ordered his subordinates to bring Peng Huizu in.
Not long after, Peng Huizu entered the tent. Zhao Tai stood up to greet him and said with a smile: "Old General Peng!"
Peng Huizu cupped his fists and saluted, and said straight to the point: "Marshal Zhao, at yesterday's banquet, Mrs. Yang saw that Marshal Zhao was handsome, young and promising, and not yet married, so she wanted to marry Marshal Zhao."
Zhao Tai smiled and said: "Old lady's kindness, Tai is grateful!"
Seeing that Zhao Tai was not disgusted, Peng Huizu said quickly: "The old lady has a niece who is the queen of old Yang Shuai. Now she has reached the age of marriage, and she is betrothed to Marshal Zhao!"
Zhao Tai asked: "Is this matter the intention of Mrs. Yang or the intention of Marshal Li?"
Peng Huizu said: "It is the intention of the old lady, but my commander-in-chief also has the same intention. I hope that the two towns will become a marriage, so that the Qin and Jin Dynasties can work together to fight against the Mongols. I don't know what the commander-in-chief Zhao wants?"
Zhao Tai and Wang Bin looked at each other: "Since it is the kindness of the old lady and Marshal Li, Tai is willing, but I don't know if the lady is willing!"
Peng Huizu couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Marriage matters, parents' orders, matchmaker's words, the commander-in-chief don't have to worry, as long as the commander-in-chief is willing, there will be no problem!"
Zhao Tai nodded. Most marriages are like this nowadays. There is no such thing as free marriage. "Then Tai will thank you. The old lady and Marshal Li are so kind, and according to etiquette, I will marry Miss Yang!"
"This is such a great joy. I will go back and inform the old lady right away." Peng Huizu said with a smile on his face.
After finishing speaking, Peng Huizu said goodbye and left.
When he left the tent, Zhao Tai was about to analyze the marriage in detail with Wang Bin. The curtain was suddenly raised and Chen Zhong stepped into the tent.
Wang Bin looked sideways and asked, "What's going on with Chen Tongzhi?"
Chen Zhong saluted, "Commander, military advisor, Duke Wu Guo has arrived!"
Zhao Tai raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, where are you? Come with me to greet you."
Chen Zhongdao said: "Wu Guogong has entered the territory of Jinan, and he is accompanied by the privy envoy Yili Pu'a."
Zhao Tai was shocked, "Yi La Pu'a?"
Wang Bin's pupils also dilated, and then he regained his composure and said, "Isn't Yila Pu'a in Kaifeng? How did he end up in the Wuxian Army? Could it be?"
Chen Zhongdao: "According to the messenger sent by Duke Wu, Yilapua came out of the city to ask for help. Duke Wu asked the commander to make preparations in advance!"
Zhao Tai's face darkened when he heard this. Wu Xian asked him to prepare early. There are two explanations. One is to be prepared to rescue Kaifeng, and the other is to be prepared to deal with Yili Pu'a.
After Zhao Tai thought for a moment, he probably understood Wu Xian's intention, which was probably to prepare him to deal with Pu'a.
In the current situation, Zhao Tai still wants to control Shandong and has not completed the integration of Shandong. It is impossible to rescue Kaifeng.
Of course, even if Zhao Tai had controlled Shandong and had 100,000 troops, he would not have been able to stay away from Shandong and go to Kaifeng to fight the Mongols.
Zhao Tai couldn't help but frown, thinking about how to deal with Yi Lapua.
After all, there are many real girls in his army, and he also hopes to attract some of the remaining forces of the Jin Kingdom to join him after the fall of the Jin Kingdom.
If Zhao Tai directly refuses to assist, it will not look good on the face. Many old officials of the Jin Kingdom will think that Zhao Tai is unreliable and will not save the Jin Kingdom, so they will hate Zhao Tai.
Although the Jin Kingdom was a foreign regime, there were still many people loyal to the Jin Kingdom in the north after ruling the Central Plains for hundreds of years.
Therefore, Zhao Tai must think of a countermeasure that can gain fame without going to Kaifeng.
When Zhao Tai was troubled when he came from Kaifeng to move Pu'a to seek help, Peng Huizu returned to the Li Mansion and informed Li Fen that Zhao Tai agreed to the marriage.
When Li Fen heard that Zhao Tai agreed, he was quite happy, but at the same time he was a little worried, worried that he would lose his army if he accompanied his wife.
At this time, Li Fen took a few steps back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his hands, and finally said in a deep voice: "In Jinan City, prepare a luxurious mansion for Zhao Tai, and arrange more than ten maids to live in the same room. The maids must choose the most beautiful ones. In addition, after preparing enough food and wine for him, and trying to prevent people from Zhongyi Town from entering the city to see him after Zhao Tai got married, I prepared a sum of money to bribe and win over his subordinates, as long as Zhao Tai If Tai stays in the gentle countryside of Jinan City for a month, I will have the opportunity to confirm my status!"
