The military advisor Bai Xu made a comeback. The whole Luoyang is like a computer that has undergone a hardware upgrade and a comprehensive upgrade of the operating system, running faster, more balanced and more efficient.

Of course, Chu Tianya knew the power and role of Bai Xu. The reason why I waited until today to invite him out of the mountain was also out of a superior mentality. First, Bai Xu is capable, but he has a scholarly arrogance and pretentiousness in his heart. If you are too arrogant and dependent on him, it will inevitably be biased. Previously, when he was in Xiaocang Mountain, Bai Xu was more or less arrogant, and he was never in sync with Chu Tianya in his position.

No matter how capable a subordinate is, if he doesn't listen to the boss, what is the use of him?

Moreover, of course, it is not possible to completely abandon Bai Xu and keep him in the cold palace. It's like boiling an eagle and refining a dog, let Bai Xu idle for a while, and starve him. When he can't bear the loneliness and then let him out at the right time, it will be difficult for him to do everything he can.

Out of this consideration, Chu Tianya went to call Bai Xu out of the mountain after he had been in Luoyang for a few days, the foundation was stable, and the major events had been decided. This undoubtedly sent two signals to Bai Xu that could make him tremble - we can do things without you Bai Xu; Of course, it's better to have you!

is needed, and it is not you, this is Chu Tianya's way of employing people.

Often the more talented people are, the more arrogant they are. How to find a balance between the arrogance and talent of his subordinates is something that Chu Tianya has painstakingly done. The former has Jiao Wentong, and now there is Bai Xu. In the future, there will be more people.

After Bai Xu took office, he was like a machine with full horsepower, and he devoted himself to taking care of the military affairs of the entire Luoyang in an orderly manner. The cooperation between Liu Ziyu, the deputy military division, and him has become increasingly harmonious and perfect, and the two military divisions, one sitting at the Luoyang Military Aircraft Department and the other commanding the battle along the Yellow River in Jiyuan, finally connected the entire defense of Luoyang into a whole.

Chu Tianya can finally rest assured. Previously, Bai Xu's work was held by him and Meng Delai. Now that this piece has Bai Xu's responsibility, Chu Tianya can rest assured and boldly do it, another thing he must do.

――Tokyo!

At present, although there are hundreds of thousands of troops of Yan Zonghan who are ferociously heading south, the Chu clan will not be destroyed, and there will be no turning back; But in reality, the core of the conflict is still in Tokyo. If Tokyo is broken and the Great Song Dynasty is destroyed, no matter how strong Chu Tianya, who is cowering in Luoyang, is strong and strong, at best, he will be a lost dog, and sooner or later he will be captured and destroyed.

The top priority is to keep Tokyo intact!!

The conscription work is in full swing. From the first day he entered Luoyang, Chu Tianya never stopped expanding the strength of his soldiers and horses. There are countless ordnance and rations in the treasury of Luoxian County, and it would be a foolish not to use them for the armed forces.

Until today, Chu Tianya has recruited 80,000 soldiers and horses. The Qin and Jin Dynasty people have a strong wind in ancient times, and the military nobles of Guanlong in the Tang Dynasty used the soldiers here to seize the world, and most of the soldiers of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty came from here, so the combat effectiveness was extraordinary. The soldiers recruited by Chu Tianya were almost all strong men in the Kansai region. In terms of the source of soldiers alone, the quality of the Luoyang New Army is far better than the quality of the recruits of the original Hedong Righteous Army.

Chu Tianya mixed these new armies with the forbidden army of Luojun and the Jin army, and led the old with the new, and the growth of the new soldiers was very fast. Now there are more than 220,000 soldiers and horses in the entire Luoyang, of which there are more than 120,000, which is the new force after Chu Tianya came to Luoyang!

Tokyo's distress emergency documents flew towards Luoyang like snowflakes. Wanyan Zongwang's 300,000 troops have completely broken through the Yellow River and are heading for Tokyo one after another. Although the various Qinwang divisions in the south of the Great Song Dynasty were also constantly going to Tokyo to rescue them, they were either far away from the water and thirsty, or the troops were small and difficult to make the climate. At present, Tokyo only relies on more than 100,000 forbidden troops and castles to defend against the enemy, and officials and courtiers are in fear day and night. For the Chu family army, the new force closest to Tokyo, they sent their grandfather to tell their grandmother, and they were willing to ask Chu Tianya to send troops to the king of Qin!

According to Bai Xu's strategy, Chu Tianya urgently reorganized his troops and horses, raised grain and grass to prepare for the eastward expedition, and bargained with the imperial court. The first is to make a prince to the court, the second is to send a prince to be the supervisor of the army (in fact, it is a personal hostage), and the third is to command the soldiers and horses.

The official Zhao Huan and all the ministers saw Chu Tianya's "wolf ambition". If this was put in the past, it would immediately be spread that the world would scold Chu Tianya, and send a large army to conquer him, a "rebel minister". But now, Zhao Huan and the ministers didn't dare not agree - compared with the destruction of the city, although Chu Tianya's request was excessive, it was not fatal!

So, the official Zhao Huan agreed to all of Chu Tianya's requests.

First of all, he threw Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, to Luoyang as a "general judge of Jingzhao Mansion", that is, he handed it over to Chu Tianya as a hostage.

The official's handiwork, even fools can see what the intention is.

Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, was born to the concubine and Wang Guifei, who was favored by the first emperor Zhao Ji. Unlike the current official Zhao Huan, Zhao Kai is quite the father of his father, who loves books and bird paintings and is quite accomplished, and quite talented. He once participated in the scientific examination anonymously, and he entered the palace examination all the way and won the first place. There is a saying that Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, is the most "promising" champion in history.

Therefore, Zhao Ji has always liked his son very much, and has deliberately abolished the prince (that is, the current official Zhao Huan) many times and replaced Zhao Kai.

But now Zhao Huan is still in power, and Zhao Kai's situation is of course very embarrassing. It stands to reason that if it weren't for Jin Guolai's interference in foreign affairs and internal affairs, Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, would have died a long time ago. As a result, at the beginning of Zhao Huan's tenure, he got his biggest competitor Zhao Kai to Fengxiang as a festival envoy, not far from Luoyang.

It just so happened that Chu Tianya wanted a prince to be a "hostage", and the official family naturally threw Zhao Kai, a waste man and a thorn in his eye, to Chu Tianya - somewhat of beating a dog with stinky meat.

With such a simple truth and obvious intentions, it is impossible for Chu Tianya and Bai Xu not to see it. For Zhao Kai's arrival, they all felt very satisfied!

Zhao Huan not only perfunctory Chu Tianya, but also cut off the thorn in his eye, this is his intention; However, Chu Tianya and Bai Xu felt that if it was another prince to make the general judgment, it might not be suitable for Zhao Kai - the reason is very simple, Zhao Kai and Zhao Huan are not together, and he must have hated the brother who became the emperor in his heart. In this way, Zhao Kai, the king of Yun who came to Luoyang, really has a reason to "mingle" with Chu Tianya and calculate his official brother together!

This is far more useful than throwing a mud tire like a waste prince!

In addition, the official Zhao Huan also agreed to Chu Tianya's other requests. As soon as Chrysostom opened, he sealed Chu Tianya as the hereditary "King of Luoyang County" and gave him the title of Wuyang. This title even the layman was stunned when he saw it - the Great Song Dynasty gave the thousand-year-old capital and his own Western Kyoto to a king with a different surname, which is really a bloody loss!

At the same time, the Privy Council of the imperial court officially handed over the military power of the Henan Prefecture, including the garrisons and military towns of the Western Army, to Chu Tianya and commanded them. This is exactly what Chu Tianya asked.

The lion opened his mouth and ate to his heart's content.

Originally, even if the imperial court didn't give these things, Chu Tianya would definitely move eastward. Now it's just a cheap ride, so why not?

So, Chu Tianya decided to personally wave his army in the near future, gallop east to aid Tokyo, and go to meet the legendary second prince of the Jin State and the commander of the East Route Army, who is even more powerful than Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongwang!

In fact, there is a great deal of controversy within Luoyang on this issue. Right now, there are hundreds of thousands of troops of Wanyan Zonghan coming to the top, and Luoyang's defense is very tight. At such a critical juncture, troops and horses must be dispatched to fight in Tokyo, and anyone will have to sweat. But Chu Tianya insisted that even if he lost Luoyang and moved his nest again or even wandered the rivers and lakes, he couldn't sit back and watch Tokyo perish.

It is impossible for Bai Xu, who has just made a comeback, to go against Chu Tianya again at such a time and in the face of such a major event, so whether it is out of sincerity or helplessness, he expressed his support for Chu Tianya's decision; Not to mention Meng De, even if Chu Tianya wants to go to the sky to capture the moon and the sea to capture the dragon, he will swear to follow him to the death. The remaining leaders such as Jiao Wentong and Liu Ziyu were also persuaded by Chu Tianya one after another. The other big and small leaders can only accept this reality.

In the selection of the left-behind generals, Chu Tianya took great pains.

Bai Xu is definitely going to stay. To deal with Yan Zonghan and Shi Liai, it is absolutely impossible to do without him. The rest is to pick another general who will lead the army to fight and command the battle. Mende was a reliable man, but he was not very good at commanding and fighting. Jiao Wentong is absolutely fine in terms of ability, but his personality is likely to make him make irreparable mistakes.

In the end, Chu Tianya had no choice but to set his sights on a newcomer - deputy military division, Liu Ziyu!

When Liu Ziyu first came to the palace, he was handpicked by Chu Tianya as one of the five military aircraft leaders and deputy military division, which was already an exceptional promotion. Now he doesn't have enough prestige, and none of the major leaders below is more qualified than him, and many people are dissatisfied with him.

Therefore, when making this decision, Chu Tianya showed great courage - no less than when Liu Bei attacked Wu that year, Sun Quan, the lord of Wu, made an exception and appointed the scholar Lu Xun as the commander of the capital.

Sure enough, when Chu Tianya said this decision, there were voices of doubt up and down. Even Jiao Wentong, Meng De and Xiao Linglong were surprised.

But Chu Tianya had already made up his mind, and he didn't have time to grind on the issue of the left-behind candidates--once the order was ordered, it was implemented immediately. From now on, Liu Ziyu will take over full power and act on behalf of the lord; Bai Xu served as a military advisor and assisted the counselor in military aircraft affairs; Meng De stayed in the city of Luojun and cooperated with the prefect Zhang Xiaochun to take charge of logistics.

Of course, the newcomer to Jingzhao Mansion, Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, was raised by a high tribute and became the "theoretical" supreme ruler of Luoyang County, the puppet banner.

Chu Tianya ordered his pro-xun tiger cavalry and another 40,000 troops with a total of 80,000 horses, with Jiao Wentong as the pioneer, Ma Kuo and Wang Xun as generals, Tang Ang and Anu as pro-xun guards, and eleven Qingwei, immediately waved their divisions and galloped to help Tokyo!

The only Qingwei left is He Bo.

It's one thing for the old man to be too old to go on an expedition, and the meaning of him staying is actually very important. Chu Tianya sent him to "protect" Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, firstly, to ensure the absolute safety of this puppet banner, and secondly, the old man can also be regarded as an inconspicuous Dinghai Divine Needle. Although he never directly intervenes in political and military affairs, in case there is a dispute between Liu Ziyu and Bai Xu, Meng De and Zhang Xiaochun, or other changes, the old man can exert a miraculous effect.

Because everyone knows that the lord Chu Tianya regards He Bo as half of his father, teacher and thinker. Although he doesn't have any position, his generation is bigger than anyone else's!

Finally everything is ready.

Following an east wind, Chu Tianya personally led 80,000 male soldiers to the east, and pointed directly at the imperial capital of the Great Song Dynasty - Tokyo Bianliang!
