Chapter 73 Where is the lonely army of millions?

Qin Hui did not come to the palace to ask for a visit because he knew that Zhao Kai and Chen Ji were planning to deal with him. He came to report good news to Zhao Kai because the Chief Secretary had just received the edict from Kaifeng Prefecture.

"Great King, I am Qin Hui, I am congratulating you!" Qin Hui took the edict I just received and said to Zhao Kai with a smile, "The official's edict has just been delivered, and there are two copies in total, one of which was awarded the title of King General Ce on the same day!"

"General Tiance?" Zhao Kai's eyes lit up when he heard this official title, "So can I open the Tiance Mansion to take charge of the country's military affairs?"

"No," Qin Hui said, "The edict said that this General Tiance is the leader of the martial rank official, and he is ranked first in the rank of the Taiwei!"

"I am already above the Grand Marshal!" Zhao Kai frowned, "I was the Grand Marshal ten years ago, and I am also the Great King. What kind of general Tiance is there?"

"King," Chen Ji had already taken the enthronement from Qin Hui at this time and read it. While looking at it, he also said to Zhao Kai, "This title of General Tiance can still unite people's hearts..."

Speaking of this, he was suddenly stunned.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Kai saw that Chen Ji's expression was wrong and asked quickly.

"King, this edict says that because you have made contributions to peace talks, you have been appointed as General Tiance!"

"What? Is it a contribution to peace talks? Isn't it because of the great victory in Wei County?"

The so-called Weixian victory is actually the battle of defeating Guo Yaoshi on the edge of the Yellow River and beheading Liu Yanzong. Because the battlefield is within Weixian, it is called Weixian victory.

Of course, the memorial to report the victory to the court was sent. He reported that he beheaded 10,000, and captured 2,000 alive prisoners, and killed Liu Yanzong in the formation. In fact, it was not too much. In this battle, the total number of the Han'er Army in Nanjing exceeded 3,000. Now that he reported 12,000, only nine thousand false heads were added, which is not an exaggeration...

However, this is not a perfect victory, and it seems that it has not been sent to Kaifeng Prefecture, but what happened to the peace talks about?

Thinking of this, Zhao Kai quickly took the edict and read it word by word. Before he could finish reading it, his face turned pale, "Damn it, the court was fooled... and was caught by the Jin thief's trick!"

"King, the court was not fooled!" Qin Hui, who was standing beside him, took out the second edict, "King, this is the court ordering the king to gather in Hebei and a million people from Hedong to arrive in Liyang to block the return of the Jin thieves!"

"What? millions?"

Zhao Kai was stunned again after hearing this. What was going on? What was the situation? What were the people in Kaifeng Mansion thinking? Why did they open their mouths and make millions of people?

Thinking of this, Zhao Kai quickly took the edict from Qin Hui and looked at it carefully. When he looked at it, his face became even more ugly.

It turns out that this edict not only contains "millions of Hebei and Hedong soldiers", but also "millions of Western troops", plus the 300,000 defenders of Kaifeng Prefecture, a total of 2.3 million troops... This is really unprecedented in scale!

If there were so many, let alone destroying the little Jin soldiers outside Kaifeng Prefecture City, it would be enough to go to Huanglong.

"Millions of people..." Zhao Kai frowned, "Where will the Lone King go to find millions of people?"

Chen Ji and Qin Hui were both a little amused and crying after hearing Zhao Kai's words. Millions of people have always fooled people, how could there be really?

Zhao Kai sighed, glanced at the two people beside him, and said slowly: "Now the imperial court wants the lonely king to meet with Hebei and millions of people from Hedong to serve the king... If there are not enough people, wouldn't it be a violation of the imperial edict?"

Is there any other statement?

Chen Ji immediately understood Zhao Kai's intentions, nodded and echoed: "Yes, yes... Since the court wants the king to send a million troops, the king can't take 30,000 or 50,000 people to handle the errands, so he has to gather an army of 300,000 or 500,000!"

Qin Hui frowned and asked, "How can these 300,000 or 500,000 troops be brought together? Moreover, the military situation in Kaifeng Prefecture is like fire. If you save it too late, you will be afraid..."

Having said this, he didn't dare to say it any further, because he found that Zhao Kai was staring at him with a drowsy look!

Zhao Kai spoke again at this time: "Call the generals and officials to discuss politics!"

......

"I will meet the king!"

In the Chongzheng Hall in the Daming Palace City, Hebei Marshal Zhao Kai, the Prince of Yun, was receiving the visit of his ministers.

Zhao Kai, who was receiving the worship, did not wear the court or occasional clothes of the Song Dynasty prince, but instead showed himself in a big red narrow-sleeved round-necked robe with a soft-footed head, and a sword was hung on his belt.

Most of the officials who visited him in the hall were wearing similar outfits, but they did not wear swords - there were swords, but they could not be brought to the hall! The remaining small ones were still the costumes of the civil servants of the Song Dynasty. Those who wore narrow-sleeved round neck robe were all military generals under Zhao Kai, headed by the commander He Guan (also served as the commander of the Yajun), and were listed on the right side of Zhao Kai. Those who wore civil servants were civil servants controlled by Zhao Kai, and were listed on the left side of Zhao Kai.

This dress is not worn randomly, but is extremely symbolic!

The narrow-sleeved round-necked robe was a time suit for officials and officials in the Song Dynasty, which was considered a warrior uniform (not military officer uniforms, and there were no military officer uniforms in the Song Dynasty). Zhao Kai now personally wore this narrow-sleeved round-necked robe and turned it into the time suit for himself and his military officers, which was publicly declaring that he was also a warrior!

Since Zhao Kai is a military man and he also lets the military officers wear the same clothes as himself, it means that the military man's status in the Grand Marshal's Mansion is higher than that of the literati, at least equivalent to that of the literati.

Of course, the "literary and noble and gentlemanly light" in the Song Dynasty could not be changed by Zhao Kai and a group of martial artists changing their clothes.

However, the civil officials present still felt the strong martial spirit and were floating in the hall...

"Sit all!"

Zhao Kai's eyes swept over the group of civil servants and generals, and at the same time he tried to show a melancholy expression - his father Zhao Ji, his elder brother Zhao Huan, and a large group of younger brothers and sisters were still trapped in Kaifeng Prefecture! And he couldn't take out a million troops to save him, how could he not be depressed?

Seeing that all the civil and military officials were sitting, Zhao Kai, who pretended to be depressed, sighed: "The Lone King received two major edicts issued by the court today.

One is the edict of General Ce of the Lord of the Orphan that time!"

General Tiance? He really wants to be Zhao Shimin!

The civil and military officers in the hall all had their eyes lit up, and then someone stood up to congratulate Zhao Kai, but Zhao Kai waved his hand to stop him.

Zhao Kai said: "It is not my wish for General Tiance. It is the wish of the Lord King to destroy the thieves and restore peace to the world... And the second major edict that the Lord King received today was to order the Lord King to gather in Hebei and bring millions of soldiers from Hedong to rescue Kaifeng Prefecture!"

He looked at the civil servants and generals below with a burning look, and asked word by word: "You all tell me, where is the lonely million-strong army?"

When all the officials present heard this question, they immediately had an answer in their hearts - where is the millions of troops? Of course, it was in a dream!

Zhao Kai looked at these people and brought all their surprised expressions into his eyes, and finally he turned his eyes to Qin Hui.

"Qin Chief," Zhao Kai asked in a deep voice, "You are the Chief, the Chief, and the head of all the officials. Can you tell where the million-strong army of the Lone King is?"

While asking, he looked at Qin Hui coldly, as if saying: Where is the lonely millions of troops? Did you hide it for you?

Qin Hui was shocked by Zhao Kai's eyes. What does this king mean? Didn't I just talk to him when he was in the Donghuamen Incident? Why did he keep targeting me?

Although I know something is wrong, Qin Hui still has to bite the bullet and give Zhao Kai a tip!

He thought for a while and said, "King, now because the Jin thieves invaded, many powerful people in Hedong, Hebei and other places have set up camps to protect themselves and separatist the country, claiming to be the rebel army. If the court can give official positions, they can be recruited, and there is no millions, but it should be no problem to recruit 200,000 rebel army in Hedong, Hebei and other places."

"Okay!" Zhao Kai emphasized the key point: "The chief minister's plan is very appropriate. The Gu Wang will set up Hebei, Hedong's two rebel army recruitment envoys. The Hebei rebel army recruitment envoys shall be the registrar of King Xin, and the Hedong registrar of the registrar... If so, you will be the one!"
