Zhao Tai stroked his beard and looked at Wu Xian: "Can Yi La Pu'a arrive before tomorrow night?"
Wuxian raised his eyebrows and said: "The commander-in-chief wants to make Commander-in-Chief Yilua Puafeng the king at the banquet and talk about the rescue of Kaifeng!"
Zhao Tai nodded, "That's right! Li Fen has a large territory, many soldiers, and has the intention to lead the Three Qi Dynasties. It is not easy for me to ask him to surrender. Now that the Mongols have been driven out of Shandong, the Mongolian army in Hebei has also suffered heavy losses, and Shandong is temporarily safe. . In this case, Li Fen did not feel the crisis, so he would have the desire to fight for power. I asked Yi Lapua to ask for help at the banquet. It was expected that Li Fen would not dare to lead troops to rescue, so I could take the opportunity to Gain the opportunity to command the three Qi armies."
Wu Xian nodded and said in a deep voice: "I will send someone overnight, please come over here."
Zhao Tai nodded slightly and said, "Brother Lao, we must send Yilapu'a to Jinan before the banquet ends."
After the two discussed for a while, Wu Xian hurried back and ordered his subordinates to urge the rear army to come over overnight.
In the evening of the next day, Li Fen sent someone to invite him again, and Zhao Tai, Wuxian and others went to the banquet.
"Chen Zhong, you stay!" Zhao Tai put on regular clothes, and while adjusting his clothes, he ordered: "After Yilapua arrives, you must send him to Jinan."
Chen Zhong clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Commander!"
Zhao Tai nodded, then went out of the tent, got on his horse, met Wuxian outside the camp gate, and rode to Jinan.
A group of people entered the city and dismounted in front of Li Mansion. Li Fen came out to greet them personally.
"Hahaha~" Li Fen laughed and said, "Mr. Wu Guogong, I've been waiting for you to come."
Wu Xian glanced at Li Fen and slightly cupped his hands, "Commander Li!"
Seeing his lukewarm attitude, Li Fen smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother Guorui, Lord Wu, please come in! I'll prepare a banquet and we'll talk while we eat!"
When a group of people entered the house, Li Fen, as the host, sat unceremoniously in the middle hall. Zhao Tai and Wuxian sat at the first place on both sides, and the others sat according to their status.
Zhao Tai and Li Fen were relatively familiar with each other, while Wu Xian and Li Fen had less contact. However, the men became familiar with each other after a few glasses of wine.
The counselors and generals from the three towns were enjoying the singing and dancing, and chatting, and the atmosphere became increasingly lively.
At this time, Li Fen waved his hand to signal the musicians to stop playing and for the maiko to step back. Then he picked up the wine glass and said with a loud smile: "The three towns are gathered together today. I am very happy."
Everyone in the hall stopped talking and looked at Li Fen, but Li Fen continued: "Today, I have a happy event to announce. That is my sister, who will be working with the Zhongyi Army's envoys, Zhongguo Gong Zhao Tai and Zhao Guorui. Happy marriage. Come, everyone, drink this cup to the brim and bless them."
This matter has spread, and the civil servants and military generals in the three towns are happy to see the marriage between the two towns.
After all, facing Mongolia, the soldiers in each town had no confidence. The two towns were married, and the suspicion between the two towns became less and the relationship became closer. When fighting against Mongolia, they had a reliable ally.
At that moment, everyone in the hall raised their wine glasses, said blessings, and drank the wine in one gulp.
Everyone burst into laughter, and Li Fen immediately looked at Zhao Tai and said with a smile: "Brother Guorui, my sister is beautiful and virtuous. Now that our two families have become a good couple of Qin and Jin, Mongolia will not dare to despise Sanqi. This matter is Good thing, since my dear brother agrees to this contempt, I, as the elder brother, will make arrangements for you so that you can complete the process as soon as possible and get married in Jinan."
Zhao Tai smiled and said, "Thanks to the old lady for being so considerate, Tai will ask someone to find a matchmaker and marry Miss Yang as soon as possible."
Li Fen nodded, "Although my sister was not born to my mother, she is still better than her own. My mother is old and feels sorry for my sister. After you get married, please stay in Jinan for a while and let my sister accompany me again. Mother."
Li Fen said while observing Zhao Tai. He hoped to keep Zhao Tai in Jinan, let Zhao Tai indulge in Wenrou Township and alienate his subordinates, so that he could take the opportunity to control Sanqi.
Zhao Tai smiled and said: "This is what it should be."
Li Fen was a little surprised. He didn't expect Zhao Tai to agree so readily.
"That's great!" Li Fen said with a smile: "We are all generals, so I don't think we need to pay too much attention to it. Both sides can choose an auspicious day as soon as possible and get things done quickly."
Zhao Tai has no objection to this, and he doesn't want to waste too much time in confusion.
After all, his purpose in agreeing to the marriage was relatively simple, which was because he liked Yang Guiying, the daughter of Yang An'er, the old commander of the Red Coat Army.
Li Fen thought about leaving Zhao Tai in Jinan, letting him neglect political affairs, and then poaching Zhao Tai's corners. Zhao Tai had similar ideas to him. They were Li Fen's subordinates, many of whom were Yang An'er's old subordinates. Zhao Tai married As Yang An'er's daughter, it would be much easier to poach Li Fen.
The two parties discussed the marriage for a while and reached an agreement, and Li Fen got down to business.
At this time, Li Fen put down his wine glass, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, as the saying goes, people cannot leave without a head, and birds cannot fly without a head. At the moment, Mongolia has been driven out of Shandong by us, but it may come back at any time. We How do the three towns fight against the Mongols? Do you have any countermeasures?"
As soon as Li Fen finished speaking, Peng Huizu stood up, raised his glass and said: "The general thought that in order to fight against Mongolia and defend Shandong, he first needed to elect a coach to lead the overall situation. In this way, when Mongolia attacks, the three towns can Let’s work together to repel the Mongols, otherwise each of them will attack his own, and the Mongols will surely defeat them one by one.”
All the civil servants and military generals of Li Army immediately agreed, but they actually had no objections to the selection of alliance leaders, the Zhongyi Army and the Wuwei Army.
After all, to fight Mongolia, the three towns really need a unified command to cooperate with each other. Otherwise, they will be scattered and it will be difficult to compete with Mongolia.
At this time, everyone in the hall was talking about it, and finally they all nodded, saying that they should indeed choose a commander-in-chief.
Seeing this, Li Fen continued to wink at Peng Huizu. Peng Huizu understood and immediately said loudly: "Everyone, I think that the elected leader of Shandong should understand Shandong and have a certain influence in Shandong, so that he can win over the people of Shandong. Only with the support can we lead everyone to fight against Mongolia. And speaking of this, my commander-in-chief has inherited the legacy of the commander-in-chief and has been operating in Shandong for many years and is supported by the people. I think this commander-in-chief must be my commander-in-chief."
After Peng Huizu finished speaking, everyone in the Li army immediately agreed, but the generals in Zhongyi and Wuwei towns all had serious faces and serious expressions.
At this time, Zhao Tai was holding the wine glass and continued to drink, while Wu Xian stood up and said in a deep voice: "I would like to say a few words about the selection of the commander-in-chief of the three towns. What General Peng said just now makes some sense, but it is not entirely correct. My commander-in-chief. I thought that facing the Mongolian attack, it was not enough to be influential, but we also needed to be able to lead everyone and win the battle."
