On the sixth day of November, Zhao Qi explained the family affairs and went to Longde Palace to bid farewell to the Emperor and his wife. He met Nie Shan and others. Zhao Huan led all officials to send them out of the city. This time he went to Zhending, it was not just their peace talks.

The envoy also had 10,000 taels of gold and 100,000 pieces of silk to reward military expenses, as well as royal goods such as carriages, ceremonial guards, and Zhao Huan specially sent 1,000 imperial guards to accompany him to guard them.

After a performance, Zhao Qie left Fengqiu Gate and embarked on the road north. Soon, a large group of people suddenly chased after him. It was estimated that there were four or five thousand people, "What do those people do?" Zhao Huan drove.

Before he could get away, he asked after seeing it.

"Your Majesty, it has been said that the King of Yan went north to recruit soldiers to fight the Jurchens. Some people believed it, and they must have chased them to apply!" The eunuch who was in the car quickly asked about the situation and reported.

"Who are these?" Zhao Huan asked again.

"Your Majesty, these people are idle men in the capital, thugs, beggars who can't afford to eat and some dilapidated houses want to make a living and gain fame!" the eunuch replied.

"Oh, if these people can really defeat the Jurchens, why should I cherish fame, money and money?" Zhao Huan sighed, but shook his head again. If these people could defeat the Jin army, what would it be for him to raise his own troops?

"Your Majesty, have you sent someone to recover these people and dismiss them so as not to miss state affairs?" the eunuch asked in a low voice.

"Let them go. If these people leave, the capital will be quieter." Zhao Huan waved his hand and said...

The team gradually drifted away, and the towering city wall disappeared from sight. Zhao Qi sat back in the car, and the escorted him was still the original team of people who came. The rest of the people asked him to stay in the palace. Several people were ordered to serve as envoys.

The people have their own thoughts and don’t talk. Although they are all the way, they have their own cars and their own paths. They also think that the future is uncertain, and they are even more unwilling to speak. This team seems a bit dull.

'Kak...' Zhao Qi, who was lying in the car, suddenly opened his eyes. He was very familiar with the sound of the marching footsteps, but although their footsteps were neat but heavy, even surpassing the sound of horse hooves. He pulled curiously

Open the curtain and look out.

In front and behind their car were the imperial guards who guarded them, but they were completely different from the other imperial guards Zhao Qi saw. They were tall and burly, with swords on their backs. The sword was a bit outrageous, with a handle of six feet, although

The blade is wrapped in the sheath, but the shape is vaguely visible as a three-pointed two-edged knife, which is an improved version of the famous sword of the Tang Dynasty. However, this kind of knife manufacturing requires high technology and materials, and is rarely seen in the Song Dynasty.

, let alone large-scale equipment for troops.

"Go and call the guard commander!" Zhao Qi said to the second kid outside the car. The second kid has returned after not having enough kung fu. But his face is strange, and he can't tell whether it is surprise or joy.

"Gao Chong, the commander of the Huyi Army of the Infantry Department in front of the Palace, met the prince!" Zhao Qiong felt strange. He had been separated from Gao Chong for seven or eight years, and he had not looked at him after returning to Beijing. If it weren't for Zhu Shuzhen's words, he would have said that he had not seen him.

When the Jin army besieged the city, he sent troops to protect the royal palace. He thought he had already worshiped him, but he did not expect that he would appear here.

"I should have thought it was you. There is no one in the Song Dynasty who will think of this Modao Formation except you. Come on the car!" Gao Chong trained Zhuang Ding to practice the Modao Formation when he was in Xiangyi when he was the head coach of the club.

No wonder I looked familiar and heard him report the number. Of course I was extremely happy.

"Prince, my style is still the same. I am not willing to be lonely anywhere. After returning to Beijing for a few days, I have beaten two priests and the messengers of Dajin. I really admire him!" Gao Chong got into the car, without any sacrificial sect.

He politely picked up the prince's tea and took a sip, and began to search for food in the car.

"Since you know why you don't go see me!" Zhao Qi found a bottle of wine. Seeing Xi, he quickly found two side dishes, clothed the dishes and poured them wine.

"What a good wine. The prince is sincerely making me violate military discipline!" Gao Chong took a deep breath and rubbed his hands and said.

"It just so happens that the two crimes will be punished together, so you will be less than twenty military sticks!" Zhao Qi raised his glass and invited them, and the two drank it all in one go.

"Prince, you are so popular in the capital. You know how many people hate you to the core. I don't want to be with you, otherwise how can I get along in the capital?" Gao Chong picked up a piece of fish and chewed it with relish.

"Then why are you here again?" Zhao Qi asked with a smile.

"I can't think I can come?" Gao Chong said, "Haha, let me be honest, the road is difficult and there are no people around you. How could I abandon the prince and ignore it? So I volunteered to escort the mission.

, It's great!" Seeing the prince's smile becoming strange, he hurriedly changed his words.

"Haha, you are quite conscience. Let's have another drink, but I don't have people to protect you, but I lack strong generals!" Zhao Qiong picked up the cup and looked out the window and smiled.

"Oh, what does the prince mean?" Gao Chong looked out the window along the prince's gaze and saw a team of troops dressed in rural soldiers chasing him. There were many clothes and armor followed by, with various weapons and strong men.

Several times theirs.

"Oh, I understand. The prince is building a plank road openly to travel to Chen Cang secretly. The news in the capital is also spread!" Gao Chong and the prince have been together for so long. They can be said to be the elders of the loyal and brave army. Although those rural soldiers are in uniform, they are dressed.

It has changed, but the unique temperament they have developed over the years is difficult to change. After a moment of thinking, I understand what the prince means.

"Hmph, we each other, you probably have the same idea when training this Modao team!" Zhao Qie talked to him and drank wine and said.

"Haha, we are really taught by a master. I thought of it. The Jin army is good at riding and shooting, and most of them are cavalrymen, but our crossbow formation alone cannot be stopped, so I practiced this Modao formation.

I haven't had a chance to try it!" Gao Chong said with a big laugh.

"Well, you can tell at a glance that you have lost a lot of your efforts. But this cost a lot. Can you afford it?" Modao was heavy, with more than 20 kilograms, which was quite heavy, so the user must be strong and eat and drink.

Of course, you have to keep up with it, but eating and drinking is a trivial matter. The construction of weapons is time-consuming and expensive. Even in the Tang Dynasty, where the mob was popular, it was a very luxurious weapon. By this time, it had been simply cheap by axes, long swords, etc.

weapon replacement.

"Oh, do you know how many soldiers I, the commander, want to command?" Gao Chong asked.

"Test me, the first army is the five commanders. Each command of 500 people is 2,500, right?" Zhao Qi replied.

"Hmph, that's the border army. Each army of the imperial guards and infantry in the capital is only 1,200, with only 300 people, and even less horse army, but the military pay is quite large. When sending troops, they are temporarily hired to rob a vagrant to make up for the number, so although it is

It would be wrong to have half of the number of troops in one army!"

"So you used the extra military pay to train troops, and did not put it into your own pocket!" Zhao Qiong said as he picked up a piece of meat jerky and chewed it.

"Haha, that's not enough. Just the cost of weapons almost emptied my wallet. The group of people in the military weapon prison are so dark!" Gao Chong said with a wry smile, "I only know how to do something after leaving the prince.

It’s hard, I know that money will never be enough to spend it!”

"Haha, you are not in charge of the company and don't know how expensive it is!" Zhao Qiong said with a big laugh.

"Oh, it's a pity that I have no money to train soldiers, but those people gave a lot of money to the Jurchens. If they use this money to recruit soldiers and train soldiers, how could the Jurchens be rampant? I want to rob it!" Gao Chong said.

Say.

"It's really?!" Zhao Qi asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean? You are not going to have the idea of ​​making these gold and silk again?" Seeing the prince's smile, Gao Chong felt clever. It was not that the speaker was unintentional and the listener was intentional!

"These money given to the Jurchens can only encourage their greed and make them stronger, so..." Zhao Qiong said with his eyes squeezing at Gao Chong.

"So the prince wanted to deduct the money and put it in his pocket. The peace talks are naturally fake, and provocation is real!" Gao Chong knew that the prince was a fan of money, and he naturally felt distressed when he gave this large amount of money to others for free.

Tight.

"Fair, this time I will drive the Jurchens out of Hebei and back to Yanjing Mansion!" Zhao Qiong said with a sneer.

"Your Majesty, you have a fever. Can we defeat tens of thousands of Jin soldiers just by ours?" Gao Chong looked at the prince as if he didn't know him. He wouldn't get drunk without drinking two glasses of wine. The biggest possibility is that he burned the money.

, "The prince won't transfer the Zhongyong Army, right?" He suddenly thought of another possibility. Looking at the Song Dynasty, only the Zhongyong Army had this ability.

"You just had a fever. Before the Zhongyong Army could arrive, my head was gone either!" Zhao Qi said angrily, "Now we only have your one thousand tiger wing troops and two thousand township soldiers in Xiangyi Zhuangzi.

, and then we have to raise ourselves, and that money is our recruitment funds."

"Your Majesty, you think too much of us. Even if you can recruit tens of thousands of people, you have not been trained and have no firearms in the hands of the loyal and brave army. With these brave and brave young men, you are no match for the Jurchens at all!" Gao Chong stared at the eyes and stared at the sight of the brave men!

He said, if he hadn't known that the prince was not sick, anyone would have regarded him as a lunatic.

"I have a clever plan, and the Jurchens are about to withdraw their troops!" Zhao Qi said mysteriously.

"The Jin army is in full swing, how can it withdraw without reason? Did the prince bribe any god to help?" Gao Chong said with a smile. The prince used to pretend to be a god, so many people still think that he can understand ghosts and gods and predict the future.

Gao Chong didn't believe it. He was with him for several years, but only knew that the prince often analyzed the development of things based on clues, and then obtained the results he wanted after careful planning, but he never saw any god coming.

"What would you do if your backyard caught fire?" Zhao Qiong asked with a smile, not caring about Gao Chong's joke.

"Of course, we should put out the fire first, otherwise the house will be gone, so why are you busy?" Gao Chong replied without thinking, "Did the prince set a fire in the Jurchens' den and forced the Jurchens to withdraw their troops, so the prince
