Zhao Ta lived in Taiyuan with peace of mind, but Tong Guan was like a needle felt, 40,000 loyal soldiers were stationed around Taiyuan, and he was worried about changes over time. So on the one hand, he also arranged his own pro-army Shengjie army near Taiyuan, and mobilized more than 10,000 people in the city to monitor Zhao Ta's guard brigade to prevent emergencies; On the other hand, Tong Guan was busy with Zhao Ta's affairs, urging the court to quickly approve his adaptation plan. He had a small banquet for three days, a big banquet for five days, and a big banquet for five days, and at the same time sent people to the loyal and brave army to comfort and appease, so as not to cause trouble for them, and Zhao Ta was also invited, and he would take the money if he gave it, unceremoniously.

Zhao Ta was dismissed from his post here, and Cai Yu was of course not angry when he received his favor, and he kept his documents in his hands without approving or reporting them, thinking of finding an opportunity to overturn the case for him, but he was willing to do it, and he himself could not protect himself, in fact, this disaster was also caused by himself.

Cai Jing reverted to his appearance, but he was blind and couldn't write, and he couldn't kneel down, so he handed over the matter to Cai Zhen to deal with, but this kid was not this piece of material at all, and once he had the power in his hands, he began to come nonsense, and suddenly promoted his brother-in-law to the head of the household, and the two of them were embarrassed and began to degrade the courtiers and fight against dissidents. He also sent people to search for various prefectures, and those who could make him happy would rise, and those who did not satisfy him would naturally descend, making a miasma of smoke above the court.

This is not counting, good people don't learn, he learns from Wang Huang. Wang Hao once led the Ying Feng Division, and the general leader of the contributions of the Quartet, from which he wantonly put his hands into his own pockets. Cai Xuan learned from him to create the Xuanhe Treasury City Gongsi, and passed all the forbidden things up to gold and jade, down and vegetables, all through his hands, and regarded the emperor's private money as his own wallet.

Now that he was caught, Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan were treated as air by Cai Xuan, can they let him go now? Immediately united with Cai You to sue him again. Dare to take money out of your own pocket casually. Can the emperor be happy, he will have to deal with him! However, Cai Yu is still righteous. got Zhao Ta's recital, which was signed as soon as he was impeached, and allocated 2 million yuan as a settlement fee for the loyal army...

Under the holy decree on the sixth day of the sixth month of June. The loyal and brave army was transferred to leave Hedong and go to Tuntian, Hezhong, Zhao Ta still had no news of returning to Beijing as he expected, so he could only temporarily live in Taiyuan. Although everyone didn't pay much attention to him, he was monitored when he came in and out, and he didn't bother to deal with them, so he read books at home every day, and rarely went out to practice martial arts. But he was extremely anxious in his heart, and now the situation is becoming more and more tense, but he is being guarded in disguise.

'Xiucai doesn't go out, but he knows the things in the world', Zhao Ta is sitting in the house, but through the Intelligence Department, he is also clear about the changes in the outside world, and all he can get is some bad news.

First of all, Mu Han had ordered the Changsheng army that defected to the Jin State in Longde Mansion to send troops to Fanshi County in Wutai Mountain, and the Changsheng Army and Han Minyi who defected in Yizhou went out of Feihu and Lingqiu counties and rushed to the Song-Jin border to find out the reality of the Song Dynasty's border preparations. This matter was discovered by Ma Kuo, who was sent to the Jin State, and secretly guaranteed it to Tong Guan, asking him to send troops to defend, and suggested that some soldiers and horses in Shaanxi should be transferred to Zhongshan and Zhending. And immediately selected the Zhiyong border people to form an army and stationed it in Yizhou to guard against a possible attack by the Jin army. However, Tong Guan and Cai You ignored this suggestion.

Then the frequent envoys of the Jin State also aroused the vigilance of some people in the Song Dynasty. At this moment, the Hedong Guard, the Hedong Guard, reported to the imperial court that the border Jin Army was undergoing a military movement under the command of Sticky Han. The only explanation is that they are preparing to attack our Song Dynasty, and there may be a danger of southern invasion. To dispel their thoughts. We can send 100,000 troops to the north to patrol the border and show the strength of our dynasty. This can not only consolidate the border defense, but also force the Jin army to give up the idea of invading the south, but Tong Guan rejected it again.

At the same time, in order to smoothly invade the south, the Jurchens resorted to a heavy plan, promising land and land to lure the Western Xia people to come to help, hoping that the Xia people could restrain the Song army and make themselves have no worries. And Li Qianshun, who has always advocated aiding Liao to resist Jin, was also moved, Yelu Yanxi was captured and his thoughts had been broken, and the nature of the snakes and rats at both ends was exposed again, and finally poured a pot of urine with Chage, who had been going to invest in gold.

The brothers thought that this was a godsend, the Jurchens were progressing too smoothly, but the Song people were vulnerable, and they also thought that their fists were not as hard as the Jurchens, and their arms were not as thick as others, with the successive victories of the Jin war against Liao, Jin's military strength had expanded to close to the border of Western Xia, posing a serious threat to Western Xia, but their past backers were already in name only, and there was no meaning.

It turned out that they were still afraid of Zhao Ta and his loyal army, and now there is news that Prince Yan has been dismissed, the loyal army has been reorganized into the Tuntian army, their biggest enemy has disappeared, and they regret the promise they made before, so greed meets cunning, and they think that they should take refuge in the Jin Dynasty and seek protection from Jin in order to make more profits from it.

Just when Zhao Ta was worried about the future of the Great Song Dynasty, God saw it unfairly. There are foxes in the capital from Genyue into the inner and occupy the throne, Zhao Ji of course was furious and ordered people to destroy the fox temple to suppress evil, but the matter did not end there, he soon received an urgent report - the northwest earthquake, probably thinking that his son was idle and idle, so he ordered Zhao Ji to pacify the river, give relief to the victims, and organize earthquake relief...

Zhao Ta is about to take up his duties and resign to Tong Guan. Of course, Tong Guan would not let the prince run in vain, not only prepared gifts, but also set up a banquet to see him off, said a few gossips, and drank a few glasses of wine, Zhao Ta turned the topic to the current situation.

"Taiwei, the Yanjing area is a plain, it is a place that is easy to attack and difficult to defend, although we have recovered the six states, but there is no danger to defend, once the Jurchens break the contract and drive the troops south, they will be passive everywhere, Taiwei still needs to be more vigilant!" Zhao said that this has always been his hidden concern.

The Yanshan area is surrounded by Zijin Pass, Juyong Pass, Gubeikou, Songting Pass, Yuguan and other important passes to form a barrier, if these passes are in the hands of the Song Dynasty, it is difficult for the Jin army to step into Yanshan even if there are millions of soldiers. But this time the Song Dynasty exchanged money for land with the Jin State, and when negotiating, because he did not know that these passes no longer belonged to Yanshan Road and were under the jurisdiction of Pingzhou Road, he missed the opportunity to return to these passes, so that although the Song Dynasty got the land of Yanshan, there was no danger to defend, and a mistake became an irreparable mistake.

"The prince is too worried, the situation has not yet reached such a serious level, the land that the Jin State has just occupied is not convinced, there is a risk of civil strife at any time, and when the rear is unstable, they dare not easily declare war on our Song Dynasty." Tong Guan said with a smile, "After a while, the old man will personally go to Yanshan Mansion to arrange for the Changsheng Army and the troops of Hebei to guard the border, and even if they come, we will not be in a hurry." ”

"Taiwei is the best prepared, but this king is troubled!" Zhao Ta smiled bitterly and shook his head, Tong Guan made a serious mistake in judging the situation, and still had hope for the Jurchens, but he didn't know that he was seeking skin with the tiger.

"The prince is worried about the country and the people, how dare the old man think about it!" Seeing that Zhao Ta was displeased, Tong Guan hurriedly said to him, "After the prince leaves, the old man will also leave Taiyuan for Beijing, and the old man is ready to ask the emperor to set up four governors in Hebei, Zhongshan Xin Zongxing, calm Wang Yuan, the daimyo Wang Yu, and Yang Weizhong in the river, so that they can recruit fugitives and those vagrants as an army, which can not only let them fight the border for the country, but also prevent them from gathering people for chaos!" ”

"Taiwei has thought about it very carefully, this king has left office, it is said that he should not talk much, but this king sees that the Yisheng army is unstable, and needs to be appeased, once they have different intentions, and now the party seems to be uneasy, if they help each other with the Jurchens, the situation in the east of the river and even in the northwest will not be able to be cleaned up!" Zhao Ta sighed and said, what can the army composed of those stragglers be of any use except for spending food in vain, but the Great Song Dynasty national policy is like this, and he can't change it, so he can only stop at the point.

"The old man understands that the court is lacking such loyal ministers as the prince, and when the old man returns to Beijing, he will definitely distinguish the prince in front of the emperor, and return to Hedong as soon as possible, and the old man can also be lazy!" Tong Guan said disapprovingly, but he was quite impatient in his heart, he knew that Lu Dao could not complete the major event of recovering Xijing with his own strength, and this had to rely on the strength of the Jurchens, he was too late to please the Jurchens, and he also wanted to shrink his defense and withdraw several military states in Hebei, if he put on a tough posture, how could the Jurchens help!

Zhao Ta knew that Tong Guan was just perfunctory, but he felt that he should still say these words, even if it was to comfort himself, he felt a little better. At this point, everything that should be said has been said, and he didn't say more, let go of the drink, and went home drunk...

Two days after receiving the order, just as Zhao Ta packed up and set off for Hezhong, he already knew that the epicenter of the Ludao earthquake was in Lanzhou, and the loss in the Hezhong area was not large, and his pacification was just a dispensable errand.

On this day, they traveled to Linzhou, and when they had just settled down, someone suddenly came to report to Zhao Ren and asked to see him. Zhao Ta was stunned when he heard this, Zhao Ren returned to Beijing to take up his post, how could he suddenly come to Taiyuan, although he was suspicious in his heart, he was still very happy, and he didn't know what he had become in the past few years.

"The army in the river envoy Zhao Ren to see the prince!" As soon as Zhao Ta's words came out, Zhao Ren couldn't wait to trot to the hall and knelt down on one knee to salute.

"Excuse me, you really want to kill me!" Zhao Ta pulled Zhao Ren up from his seat, hugged him tightly and said excitedly.

"Lord Wang, my subordinates also want Lord Wang and his brothers..."After a while, the two separated, and Zhao Ren said in a choked voice.

"How did you come to work in the river?" After the emotions calmed down and the two sat down, Zhao Ta asked.

"Lord Wang, it's a shame to say that his subordinates have come to recruit the loyal and brave army when he promoted the post of military envoy in Hezhong!" Zhao Ren got up again and saluted, and said... (To be continued......)
