Daming Mansion.

At the 3rd day of the second month, the rangers sent by the royal family members to fly into Daming City as if they were flying straight into Daming City. These cavalry were dressed in a hard-working manner, covered in dust and sweat. In the past, as long as people with some identity in Daming City, who would not hide far away when they met these stinking cavalrymen. But today, when the two cavalry entered the Wei County Gate, they encountered a group of green robe officials who were as anxious as ants on the hot pan and scholars in secret shirts stopped them.

The purpose of this group of officials and scholars blocking the two rosters to explore was of course to inquire about the battle situation on the other side of the Yellow River.

What these two cavalrymen brought back was also news of a large-scale night battle on the west bank of the Yellow River!

Of course, they don’t know who won. They only know that the two sides fought fiercely overnight, and the fires on the west bank of the Yellow River soared into the sky. By dawn, the battlefield suddenly returned to tranquility.

"What's going on? Have you been defeated? Has it been wiped out?"

"How is Your Highness Prince Yun? You haven't been trapped in the chaos, right?"

"The ice surface on the Yellow River has melted, right? The golden thief can't come for a while, right?"

These figures from Daming Mansion are really confident about Zhao Kai’s anti-Jin cause! Everyone believes that Zhao Kai was defeated!

How can it be invincible?

Tong Guan led more than 100,000 Western troops to attack Youzhou in the northern expedition, and now he still wants to fight the Jin soldiers with more than 10,000 people in Daming Prefecture City? Isn’t this a dream?

So as soon as Zhao Kai left, everyone was thinking about what to do after they failed? This was not a problem, but a collection of a lot of problems.

First of all, will Zhao Kai be killed or captured by the Jin soldiers after his defeat?

It is very likely that Zhao Kai, the crazy king, will turn himself in! If he is gone, will Daming's Marshal's Mansion still handle it?

If not, if Kaifeng Prefecture is also broken by the Jin thieves, who will the Song Dynasty do it for? Should it be done for His Highness Prince Yun’s brother, King Xin?

King Xin is now in Daming Mansion City. Although he hid in the palace after coming, he never showed up, King Xin must have come!

If the officials, princes, and prince Yun of the Song Dynasty are gone, can His Highness King Xin wear a yellow robe?

So after Prince Yun disappeared, supporting King Xin to take over as a marshal seemed to be a good investment... Anyway, the unlucky one was also King Xin. If it succeeds, everyone will be the hero of the Dragon!

The second question is whether Daming Mansion can still be maintained?

Zhao Kai had 20,000 troops at his hand, and when he left the city, he took away more than 14,500 people, and there were more than 5,500 people in the city.

In the Guantao and Linqing cities on the east bank of the Yellow River in Daming Prefecture, there are 2,000 imperial guards and 2,000 wing soldiers. These troops are all under the jurisdiction of Cai Mao. After Zhao Kai left, Cai Mao had ordered them to be transferred to Daming Prefecture.

Du Chong, the magistrate of Cangzhou, is still in Daming Prefecture and has not left. He still has about 2,000 troops in the territory of Cangzhou under his jurisdiction. He has now issued an order to mobilize troops to Daming.

The total of these troops alone is more than 11,500 people.

In addition, in Jizhou, Shenzhou, Hejian Prefecture, there are more than 10,000 people from Li Lu, the pacifier of Hebei East Road. Yang Weizhong was originally his subordinate, and he led troops to Daming to listen to him according to his order.

If the army commanded by Li Lu can be transferred to Daming Mansion, then there will be as many as 20,000 reliable defenders in Daming Mansion, which is enough to defend the city.

The third question is whether there is enough money and grain in the city of Daming Prefecture to support more than 20,000 troops and to buy the Jin soldiers for refund... It seems that there are some, but the money is not in the hands of Cai Mao and Du Chong, but under the control of Qin Hui, the chief officer of the Marshal's Office and Sima Chen Ji of the Marshal's Office. Qin Hui and Chen Ji not only manage the money that Zhao Kai brought to Daming Prefecture, but also the treasury of the Daming Prefecture and the Hebei Transportation Envoy.

So when news of a night war on the west bank of the Yellow River came, Cai Mao, Du Chong, and the Lu Yihao, who was escorted to Daming by Guo Tiannu, were persuading Qin Hui to the Shishishi in the inner city of Daming Mansion, and Chen Ji and the other two handed over the money.

At least they have to hand over most of them out so that Cai Mao, Du Chong and Lu Yihao can use the money to buy the refund of Guo Yaoshi and Liu Yanzong.

Otherwise, Cai Mao, Du Chong and Lu Yihao would not be able to do anything!

But Qin Hui said that he would not agree to give money to him - he could not give it, and if he gave it, he would have no right.

"The king was leading his troops outside, and Hui was ordered to guard the general's mansion and money. How dare he deal with others without the king's order?"

Cai Mao looked at the chief of the General Mansion who was like a wealthy mistress and his face darkened, "Last night, the fire on the west bank of the Yellow River burned for half a night. You can see it when standing on the wall of Daming Mansion... This is the king's army fighting the Jin thieves! If the Jin thieves win, they will soon be at the city, and they will need money at that time!"

"The king brought 15,000 people out of the city, and there were only 10,000 Jin thieves. The winner should be the king!" Qin Hui was really proficient in military tactics, and he actually calculated that Zhao Kai would win. "We just need to wait for the king to return in triumph. Even if we use money, we will hold a celebration banquet. Is it enough for the subordinates to allocate 10,000 yuan to the mansion?"

With a square head and a bearded man, Du Chong, who looked majestic, spoke to Cai Mao and said, "Hey, the Jin thief is strong, and he is invincible. The king has only 15,000 people. How much can it be?"

Of course, Qin Hui did not believe Du Chong's judgment and retorted: "The king has used a plan to paralyze Guo Yaoshi, can launch a surprise attack, and can lead by example to inspire the morale of the three armies. How could he lose?"

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Chen Ji, wanting Chen Ji to help him speak. However, Chen Ji looked melancholy... Of course he was timid than Qin Hui! And he also knew Zhao Kai better, so he knew very well that Zhao Kai might be crazy.

How could the Crazy King defeat Guo Yaoshi's 10,000 Golden Thieves with 15,000 Song Army, with a loose battle force? If you can win this way, then let's go crazy together...

"Cai Dafu, if the king is really..." Chen Ji looked at Cai Mao and asked in a low voice, "Who can succeed the Hebei Marshal?"

"Of course it's King Xin!" Du Chong said loudly, "King Xin is the king's younger brother, or the twelfth son of the official family. If he is not a marshal, who else can be a marshal?"

Chen Ji looked at Du Chong and gritted his teeth and said, "But the king still has a son here!"

Du Chong asked: "How can a prince be a marshal when he is young?"

"Young is better than cowardly!" Chen Ji argued with reason, "King Xin has been cowardly. He has been to Daming Mansion for so long and has not even come out of the palace city. He is so brave that he should not be a marshal!"

Cai Mao was a little amused when he saw that the two of them had arguing over the issue of the marshal's heir. Prince Yun might not be unable to come back, and Kaifeng Mansion might not fall. Even if he became a marshal, he might not be able to wear a yellow robe. Isn't it too early to argue about this?

However, Qin Hui is the capital of Prince Yun, and Chen Ji has the son of Prince Yun, which is rare for these two people. Unfortunately, Prince Yun did not listen to them and was only willing to discuss with the military forces, otherwise why did this happen?

Thinking of this, Cai Mao turned his head and looked at Lu Yihao: "Brother Yuanzhi, what do you think?"

When Lu Yihao heard this, he was about to curse himself. He was not the one from Prince Yun at all, and he did not agree with Prince Yun's behavior of forcing his father to resist the Jin Dynasty. Now he was just escorted to Daming Mansion by Guo Tiannu, and he was just an outsider. Why are he confusedly involved in the internal disputes of the Marshal's Mansion?

Wait, are you considered a minister of policy like this? Forget it, let’s have a chance!

Thinking of this, Lu Yihao already made a claim: "It's better to decide by the wife of Yun State!"

OK, this is treating Zhu Fengying as the "little empress dowager".

After hearing his words, Qin Hui nodded immediately and said, "Yes, yes, let the wife of Yunguo decide!"

Chen Ji immediately agreed: "Yes, the wife of Yun State should be asked to make the decision!"
Chapter completed!
