The official slave had already thought about his escape plan, but he could not tell the remaining people of the Jin Kingdom in the city. He hoped that these people would not think too much or ask too many questions, and enjoy more wine and food while the Mongols did not come.
These Jurchen nobles had considerable wealth, but their country was gone.
Without the protection of the country, they are just fat sheep in front of any force and can no longer possess huge amounts of wealth.
"Don't worry, everyone, my Xuzhou is impregnable, you are absolutely safe here!" the official slave reassured everyone.
Many Jin Kingdom remnants were still uneasy in their hearts, but they did not dare to offend the official slaves.
Before Kaifeng was captured by the Mongols, the official slaves were quite polite to the Jurchen nobles who came to cause trouble. However, after Kaifeng was captured by the Mongols and the Jin emperor and the court were completely destroyed, the official slaves were no longer polite to them.
Over the past few days, the official slaves had been blackmailing them. Several people who did not satisfy the official slaves were immediately killed by him with excuses.
The official slave glanced at the crowd and saw that they all lowered their heads and did not dare to look at each other. He felt quite proud and said, "Come on, keep drinking!"
Everyone in the lobby could only drink with the official slaves in their thoughts, but at this moment, a person entered the lobby. He glanced around the hall, then walked straight to the official slaves, leaned over and said: "Father, Zhao Taipai The messenger is here!"
"Zhao Tai?" The official slave frowned and put down the wine bowl, "What does he want to do?"
"According to the messenger, he wants to invite his father to Pizhou to discuss matters!" Ash Siming said solemnly.
The official slave raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where is the messenger?"
Ashi Siming said: "My son arranged for them to stay in the post house."
The official slave did not expect that Zhao Tai would send a messenger. His cheeks were twitching, and the pleasant sound of silk and bamboo that he had just heard became irritating.
"Please step aside. I have military matters to deal with!" The official slave waved his hand and ordered everyone in the hall to leave.
Everyone was curious but did not dare to ask, so they stood up and left together with the dancers and musicians.
After everyone left, Ashi Siming said: "Father, now that the country has been destroyed by the Mongols, the imperial court is gone. However, Zhao Tai is a loyal king granted by the imperial court. He summoned my father to discuss matters. I wonder if my father can go."
The official slave stood up, with his head slightly drunk, thinking quickly in his mind, "Humph, Zhao Tai has a grudge against me, so he summoned me over, I'm afraid he has bad intentions. Now that the court is gone, that guy probably wants to As a father, obey his command and be controlled by him.”
Ashi Siming said: "Father, now that the imperial court is gone, we only have an isolated city in Xuzhou. Why not take refuge in Zhao Tai? He is the loyal king of Da Jinfeng and controls Lunan. If we take refuge in him, we may be able to save Xuzhou." "
The official slave glared at him, "That's nonsense. Who is Zhao Tai? He is worthy of me seeking refuge. If I want to seek refuge, will I also seek refuge with Mongolia or the Southern Song Dynasty, with Zhao Tai, and will I die with him?"
Ashi Siming frowned and said, "What my father means is not to go to Pizhou to meet Zhao Tai!"
The official slave said: "Of course I won't go. When Zhao Tai became an official, I was already the Xuanfu envoy of Shandong West Road. Now that he is just a villain, how can I go to see him and accept his control?"
"What about Zhao Tai's envoy?" Ash Siming couldn't help but ask.
Official slaves should be honest, he will definitely not go to see Zhao Tai, but Zhao Tai now controls Lunan and has tens of thousands of troops, but he cannot offend him.
The official slave stroked his beard. Xuzhou was now surrounded by Zhao Tai and the Southern Song Dynasty. As a Khitan, he had no intention of joining the Southern Song Dynasty.
Because in the Southern Song Dynasty, 99% of the people were Han people, and as a Khitan, it was impossible for him to be reused.
Mongolia is different. Like the Liao and Jin Dynasties, it is a political power established by northern ethnic minorities. They want to control the world and rule the majority Han people. Naturally, they cannot rely on the Han people to rule the Han people for them. They will inevitably unite with other ethnic minorities. to suppress the numerically superior Han Chinese.
Therefore, the official slave knew very well that only by surrendering to Mongolia would he have a future.
He wanted to defect to Mongolia, but now the Mongolian army was driven away by Zhao Tai and the Song army. His territory was now surrounded by the Southern Song Dynasty and Zhao Tai, so he had to hide his intentions from Zhao Tai and the Southern Song Dynasty.
"Go and call the envoy!" The official slave sneered, already thinking about it, he ordered: "You take him directly to the bedroom, just say that I am sick in bed!"

After hearing this, Ming knew that this was the reason why the official slave did not go to Pizhou, so he accepted the order and left.
The official slave stayed on the spot for a while, "Huh, Zhao Tai, you also want to control me and make me surrender. I will pretend to be sick now and not go to Pizhou. When Mongolia goes south, I will stab you in the back and make you a I seek refuge in Mongolia for advancement."
Now that the Kingdom of Jin has perished, in Shandong, in terms of official position, Zhao Tai is the highest.
Zhao Tai wants to summon the official slave, but the official slave cannot refuse directly.
He sneered for a while, then returned to the backyard, rushed into the bedroom in a few steps, took off his brocade robe, folded himself up and lay down under the quilt.
Half an hour later, footsteps sounded outside the room, and Ashi Siming led someone into the bedroom.
"Messenger, my father is inside!" Ash Siming extended his hand and asked.
When the visitor came in, he saw the official slave lying on the bed. He frowned slightly and saluted, "I have seen Mr. Xuanfu!"
Although the official slave was a Khitan, he was also an actor. He managed to hold himself up and said angrily: "The Great Jin Dynasty was destroyed by the Mongols. I am sick with worry and anger. I don't know if the messenger is coming. What's going on?"
"In accordance with the decree of His Royal Highness King Zhong, I have come here to invite Mr. Xuanfu to Pizhou to discuss matters!" the envoy said solemnly.
The official slave gasped: "King Zhong summoned me, I should have gone immediately, but unfortunately I am ill, so I'm afraid I won't be able to visit King Zhong for the time being. Please also ask the envoy to tell King Zhong that I can't go to Pizhou."
Seeing his appearance, the envoy couldn't force him. Moreover, Zhao Tai told him that he only needed to deliver the letter. It didn't matter whether the official slave came or not.
"Since Prime Minister Xuanfu is ill and cannot travel, I don't dare to force him." The messenger cupped his hands and said, "I will go back to Pizhou first and report to the king."
The official slave said: "Then it's hard work for the envoy. My son will send the envoy off and prepare a sum of gold and silver to express his feelings."
Immediately, Ashi Siming led the envoy out, and the official slave immediately sat up from the bed. He couldn't help but admire his thoughtfulness, "Humph! Zhao Tai fights with me, you are still a little green."
The official slave Yang pretended to be sick and passed by the lake.
The Kingdom of Jin was destroyed, and now Zhao Tai is the official. If he refuses directly, he is afraid that Zhao Tai will punish him based on his status.
Now he said that he was sick with sorrow and anger because of the demise of the Jin Kingdom, so it was difficult for Zhao to touch him.
Soon the soldiers sent by Zhao Tai left Xuzhou, and the official slaves resumed their days of singing and singing every night and feasting every day.
Pizhou.
After the Southern Song Dynasty stopped aiding the Song Dynasty, Zhao Tai's life immediately became tight. The food for the army dropped. Even when Zhao Tai went to Jinan to welcome his bride, the gifts he brought were quite shabby.
There is no other way. For someone like Zhao Tai, to maintain an elite force of more than 30,000 people, he would have to control at least a dozen medium-sized state capitals.
At Jiedushi's residence, Zhao Taizheng, Wang Wentong and others discussed going to Jinan to welcome the bride.
At this time, an official came in, saluted and reported, "Your Majesty, the master Qian who went to Xuzhou to give orders to Pu Chaoguannu is back."
"Oh!" Zhao Tai looked at Wang Wentong, "Commander, we will discuss the matter of going to Jinan later. How about meeting Qian Zhongli first."
After Zhao Tai took control of Lunan, he issued an order to recruit talents, and gradually gathered a group of civil and military personnel under his command.
Qian Zhongli was just a student, but he joined the army early, so his official position was higher than that of ordinary people.
At this time, he walked into the festival hall and saluted Zhao Tai first, "Your Majesty, military advisor."
Zhao Tai waved his hand, "No need to be polite!"
Wang Wentong asked, "How was the trip?"
Qian Zhongli took out the official slave's letter from his sleeve and replied, "Your Majesty, the official slave claimed that he was sick with grief and anger because of the fall of the Jin Kingdom and could not come to see the king. This is his letter to the king."
Zhao Taiwen took it and took out the letter to read it. After reading it, he frowned and handed it to Wang Wentong, "What do you think, military advisor?"
Zhao Tai had originally made up his mind that if Pu Chaguan's slave came to Pizhou, he would find an excuse to put him under house arrest, and then, as the highest military and political officer of the Jin Kingdom in Shandong, send officials and troops to directly accept Xuzhou.
If Pu Chaguan's slave does not come, then he will use the excuse that he does not come to see him, and does not send troops to rescue Kaifeng, so he raises troops to attack him.
Now Pu Chaguan Nu did not come, but he made excuses, saying that he should be destroyed by the Jin Kingdom, fell ill due to grief, and could not come to Pizhou, so Zhao Tai was embarrassed to take action.
Wang Wentong read the letter

, also frowned, but then he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you think there is no reason to attack Xuzhou?"
Zhao Tai nodded: "This official slave is quite cunning. He said that he was sick with grief and anger because of the fall of the Jin Kingdom, so he could not come to Pizhou to see Gu. Then the reason Gu originally prepared will not work."
Wang Wentong smiled and said: "Your Majesty, if a reason cannot be used, then we will find a new one. We are determined to capture Xuzhou. We can create a reason even if there is no reason. Are we afraid that we can't find a reason to conquer the official slaves?"
Zhao Tai touched his beard. Zhao Tai agreed with what Wang Wentong said. When a strong country wants to invade a weak country, it may be wrong for a weak country to breathe air when looking for reasons.
Zhao Tai narrowed his eyes, stood up, and walked a few steps in the festival hall. He suddenly stopped and said, "Commander, please give Queen Gu a push to go to Jinan. I want to go to Xuzhou first."
Wang Wentong was surprised and said: "Your Majesty is going to Xuzhou!"
Zhao Tai smiled and said: "Didn't the military advisor say that if there is no reason, why should we create a reason? Since I summoned Pu Cha's official slave and the official slave did not come, I will go to Xuzhou in person. He can't refuse to see me."
Wang Wentong thought for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, this strategy is feasible. Your Majesty can lead your troops there to force Pu Chaguan's slaves to not dare to see your Majesty. Then your Majesty will have reason to seize Xuzhou."
Zhao Tai nodded: "It's still the old method. If he sees Gu, Gu will directly ask the soldiers to capture him, and then kill him for not saving Kaifeng. If he doesn't dare to meet, close the city gate tightly. Gu was not allowed to enter Xuzhou, so he directly sent his army to capture Xuzhou and then killed him."
Wang Wentong laughed and said: "That slave official thought that he could get away with it by just making an excuse. Little did he know that when the king wanted to deal with him, no matter how hard he struggled, any excuse he made would be useless."
Zhao Tai summoned the official slaves, but the official slaves did not arrive, so Zhao Tai decided to go to Xuzhou in person to meet with the official slaves.
Xuzhou Zhao Tai is now determined to win. He must capture Xuzhou and plunder the city's wealth to relieve financial pressure and complete the primitive accumulation of capital.
Therefore, no matter what choice the official slave makes, Zhao Tai will destroy him.
Xuzhou is the strategic hub between the north and the south and has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.
When the world is divided and the north and the south are in confrontation, Xuzhou's gains and losses are directly related to the two major forces of the north and the south, who can take the initiative on the eastern front.
If Xuzhou is in the hands of the Southern Dynasty, they can send troops northward to compete for Henan and Shandong. If it is in the hands of the Northern Dynasty, they can go south to the Huaihe River and threaten Jiangnan.
In May, a month after the official slaves refused to come to Pizhou to see Zhao Tai, Zhao Tai mobilized his troops and generals to transport grain, grass and equipment. Then he led Chen Zhong, Liu Dun, Xu Erzhu, Wanyan Chengde and other generals to send an army of 20,000 soldiers. , crossed the Yellow River westward and entered Xuzhou.
At present, after the fall of the Jin Kingdom, the Southern Song Dynasty has not yet completed its acceptance of eastern Henan, and Xuzhou and other places are in extreme chaos.
Because of the power vacuum, all kinds of monsters and monsters occupied their own territory and attacked each other, creating a mess.
As soon as Zhao Tai crossed the Yellow River, he made a big announcement, claiming that King Zhong led an army of 50,000 people and came to Xuzhou to discuss important matters with Pu Chaguannu.
As soon as Zhao Tai's soldiers and horses arrived, the thieves and bandits in Xuzhou heard the news and fled. Some remnants of the Jin Kingdom who had not been recruited by the Song Army came to seek refuge.
For a time, when Xuzhou's outlying prefectures and counties saw Zhao Tai coming, they switched sides after hearing the news, and almost all went directly to the city to welcome Zhao Tai.
In Xuzhou City, Pu Chaoguan's slaves continued to enjoy themselves in the mansion after rejecting Zhao Tai.
He was drinking that day, and suddenly Ashi Siming burst in with a panicked look on his face, "Father, something serious is wrong."
The official slave was displeased with drinking, and was quite unhappy, "How can you behave in such a panic?"
Ashi Siming said anxiously: "Father, that guy from Zhao Tai is coming with his troops to kill us!"
"What?" The official slave suddenly stood up, half awake from the wine, "What did you say?"
Ash Siming could only repeat, "Father, Zhao Tai brought an army of 50,000 people, crossed the Yellow River westward, and came towards Xuzhou."
When the official slave heard the news, he was petrified on the spot and stood speechless for a long time.
Ash Siming continued: "Father, Zhao Tai is the loyal king of Dajin, and Shandong has two envoys. As soon as he crossed the river, the counties around Xuzhou sent people to greet him!"
Zhao Tai's previous reputation played a role. He rescued Kaifeng with great fanfare, which made the soldiers and civilians of the Jin Kingdom feel that Zhao Tai was quite loyal and a good person.
The official slave heard that the surrounding

All the counties in the county took refuge with Zhao Tai, and they couldn't help but get furious, "I didn't write to Zhao Tai and explain the reasons why he didn't go to Pizhou, why did he hit me!"
Ashi Siming said solemnly: "Zhao Taidao did not say that he would attack Xuzhou, but claimed that he wanted to discuss his funeral with his father."
Now that the Kingdom of Jin is destroyed, Zhao Tai and the official slaves are still nominally ministers of the Kingdom of Jin.
At this time, the court was gone, so it was reasonable for Zhao Tai to come to him to discuss his funeral affairs and what to do in the future.
However, let’s just discuss it. Is it necessary to bring an army of 50,000 people?
The official slave's face looked ferocious, "He brought so many soldiers and horses here, and he didn't discuss it with me. He clearly wants to seize my Xuzhou!"
