The Mongolian army killed people and then left, which not only caused huge losses to Zhao Tai, but also left huge hidden dangers.

Zhao Tai led the troops who returned from Kaifeng. They were supposed to rest and recuperate, but now they were directly involved in cleaning up the corpses.

In Suzhou, thick smoke billowed and the burning smell was maddening, leaving many soldiers traumatized.

At this time, a team of fast horses came from the south and entered Fuli County.

"Where is your husband?" Wang Wentong asked the soldiers who covered their mouths and noses with towels and cleaned up the corpses in the city.

"Your Majesty is in the Yamen of the Prefecture!" The soldiers responded quickly when they saw that it was a military advisor.

Wang Wentong then rode directly to the state government office and saw Zhao Tai in the festival hall.

Kublai Khan ravaged Suzhou, emptied the county treasuries, and massacred all the soldiers and civilians in the city. The entire Suzhou was almost reduced to a wasteland.

This made Zhao Tai extremely angry, and he was determined to take revenge and let the Mongols know that he was not someone to be trifled with!

Nowadays, it is impossible to keep a low profile, so we can only create a reputation that will be retaliated against, so that the Mongolians will be afraid.

However, although Zhao Tai wanted to retaliate, he had no way to retaliate against Kublai Khan who retreated to Mongolia.

Zhao Tai, who was playing Ming Dynasty, was in a weak position militarily, while Zhao Tai, who was playing Ming Dynasty, was still in the development stage of his intelligence agency and could not complete the assassination and kidnapping of Kublai Khan and his relatives.

Unable to avenge himself, Zhao Tai felt very depressed and held back an evil fire in his heart.

"Ms. Sir!" Wang Wentong entered the hall and saw Zhao Taizheng lost his mind. He couldn't help but salute and call.

Zhao Tai came back to his senses, saw Wang Wentong, and said in a deep voice: "Sir, are you coming here?"

Wang Wentong said: "I heard that the Mongols were retreating and my husband had arrived in Suzhou, so I came over overnight."

Zhao Tai asked: "Is Suining's condition okay?"

The situation in Suzhou is very bad. It is basically over. It will be difficult to recover in just a few years and without a stable environment.

Therefore, Zhao Tai is very worried about the situation in Suining and Sizhou. If they are also destroyed there, his losses will be too great.

Wang Wentong said, "Kublai Khan led a partial division of the Mongolian army and initially attacked Suining. Seeing the menacing Mongolian army, he immediately mobilized the people in the city to help defend the city, and at the same time organized thousands of hired workers into an army. After the Mongolian army arrived at the city

, launched several attacks, humblely led the army and civilians to defend desperately, and used gunpowder produced by the Ordnance Bureau, and finally repelled the Mongolian attack. Therefore, Suining did not suffer any losses."

Zhao Tai felt relieved when he heard that Suining had not suffered any losses, "There are many industries in Suining City. If it is attacked by the Mongolian army, the losses will be extremely heavy. I can defend Suining this time, sir, and I have made a great contribution."

"This is what one should do in a humble position." Wang Wentong said seriously.

At this time, Wang Wentong thought of the situation in Suzhou, and then asked: "Mr. Sir, the people here in Suzhou suffered heavy casualties. Do we need to relocate the people from Suining and Sizhou to resettle them? If we act quickly, we can still catch up with the spring plowing."

Zhao Tai shook his head and said in a deep voice: "The Mongolian army has broken through the Guanhe defense line. General Subutai is stationed in Luoyang. He can leave Hulao Pass eastward at any time. However, there is no danger to defend in the east of Henan, and he will definitely be plundered and harassed by the Mongolian army.

.Although Suining suffered no losses this time, the Mongolian army will definitely come again. Therefore, Suining’s workshops and people need to move to Pizhou as soon as possible.”

"I understand the humble position." Wang Wentong nodded, and suddenly took out a letter from his arms, "Ms. Sir, this is a letter sent by Qiu Yue, the envoy of the Lianghuai system in the Southern Song Dynasty."

Zhao Tai took it with some confusion, "Why did he send the letter here?"

Wang Wentong said: "Xianggong Qiu said in the letter that the generals such as Chen Zhong who were borrowed by Xianggong have passed the agreed period, and asked Xianggong to return them to the Southern Song Dynasty as soon as possible."

Zhao Tai frowned when he heard this. Now is the time to employ people. If Qiu Yue comes to ask for people at this time, it will undoubtedly drain the salary from under the cauldron.

Zhao Tai quickly opened the letter and read it. In the letter, Qiu Yue asked Zhao Tai to return the people as soon as possible. If Chen Zhong and others did not return within the time limit, Chen Zhong and others would lose their military positions.

Wang Wentong said: "Xiangong, this Xianggong Qiu, although he was once Zhao Fan's staff, he is a civil servant. He should be wary of Xianggong and not trust Xianggong."

During the Mengjin War, Zhao Tai felt that he had too many new soldiers, so he went to Qiu Yue to borrow troops, but was rejected. Finally, he found the Huaixi Zhizhi envoy Quan Zicai and promised him horses in exchange for two thousand

Huaixi elite.

After Zhao Fan was transferred to Lin'an as deputy privy envoy and Qiu Yue took over as the envoy of the Lianghuai system, the relationship between Zhao Tai and Qiu Yue was indeed not good.

Although Zhao Tai repeatedly showed his kindness to him, Qiu Yue was a civil servant, and his attitude towards Zhao Tai was always condescending, and he inadvertently showed his contempt for Zhao Tai.

Zhao Tai stopped trying to please Zhao Tai when he saw his warm face touching his cold butt.

Zhao Tai said with a dark face, "I know this very well. The civil servants of the Song Dynasty were wary of military generals, which is engraved in their bones. I know the story of Di Qing and Yue Wumu very well."

Wang Wentong said: "My lord, now we are very dependent on the support of the Southern Song Dynasty. At the same time, we also need generals such as Chen Zhong to continue to lead and train the army. Qiu Yue wants people now, what are your plans to do?"

Zhao Tai muttered: "Since Qiu Yue has written, we cannot hide this matter from Chen Zhong and others. If I suppress it, then if the Southern Song Dynasty really removes Chen Zhong and others from their official positions, they will definitely be resentful."

I."

Zhao Tai paused and then decided: "I will talk to Chen Zhong and the others and let them decide whether to stay or not."

~~~~~~

Outside Fuli County, Chen Zhongzheng commanded his subordinates to burn corpses.

At this time, Zhao Tai suddenly appeared next to him, staring with melancholy and deep eyes at the black smoke rising in the wilderness, "These are Han people, just like you and me, with the blood of Yan and Huang flowing."

Chen Zhong heard the sound and turned around to find Zhao Tai. He quickly saluted, "Ms. sir, why are you here?"

"Let me come and take a look!" Zhao Tai looked melancholy, "The Mongols are cruel. If one day I am defeated and the Mongolian army crosses the Huaihe River, all life in the Song Dynasty will be devastated!"

Chen Zhong also looked melancholy after listening to Zhao Tai's words, "Yes! If Mongolia invades the south, the consequences will be disastrous. Fortunately, Xianggong serves as a barrier, otherwise the tragedy in Suzhou might have happened in Jianghuai."

Zhao Tai looked at Chen Zhong, stared at him, and said seriously: "Chen Tongzhi, do you think it makes sense to follow me to fight against Mongolia?"

Chen Zhong saw Zhao Tai's expression and quickly clasped his fists solemnly, "My husband fought against the Mongols and saved the people of Jianghuai from the war. It makes sense to follow my husband in a humble position."

Zhao Tai patted Chen Zhong on the shoulder with emotion, "I am very happy to hear your words. However, from today on, you may not be able to follow me anymore, and I will not be able to fight against Mongolia with you and defend Jiangnan."
