On the sixth day of the first month of November, Zhao Ta took care of the family affairs, and went to Longde Palace to bid farewell to the emperor and his wife, and met Nie Shan and others, and Zhao Huan led hundreds of officials to send them out of the city. This trip to Zhending, not only their peace envoys, but also 10,000 taels of gold, 100,000 horses of silk and military expenses, as well as chariots, honor guards and other royal goods, Zhao Huan specially sent a thousand forbidden troops to escort him.

After a performance, Zhao Ta walked out of Fengqiu Gate and set foot on the road to the north, and after a while, a large group of people chased after him, and there were four or five thousand people, "What do those people do?" Zhao Huan's car was not far away, and he asked after seeing it.

"Your Majesty, it has recently been rumored that King Yan is going north to recruit troops to fight the Jurchens, and some people believe it is true, they must have chased after him!" The attendant who accompanied the car quickly asked about the situation and replied.

"Who are these people?" Zhao Huan asked again.

"Your Majesty, these people are all idlers and pranksters in the capital, beggars who can't eat and some broken households who want to eat and make a name for themselves!" The chamberlain replied.

"Alas, if these people can really defeat the Jurchens, why should I lose my fame and money!" Zhao Huan sighed and said, but shook his head again, if these people can defeat the Jin army, they can raise troops by themselves.

"Your Majesty, did you send someone to recover and dismiss these people, so as not to miss the state affairs?" The chamberlain asked in a whisper.

"Let them go, they are gone, and Jingzhong can be quieter." Zhao Huan waved his hand and said...

The team gradually moved away, the majestic city wall disappeared from sight, Zhao Ta sat back in the car, escorted him by the original team when he came, and the rest of the people let him stay in the palace. The few people who were appointed to send envoys had their own hearts and minds, and their words were not speculative. Although it is a road, each has its own car, and each goes its own way. Thinking of the uncertain future, he was even more reluctant to speak. The team looked a little dull.

'Click...' Zhao Ta, who was lying in the car, suddenly opened his eyes, this sound was very familiar to him, it was the footsteps of the march, but although their steps were neat but heavy, even more than the sound of horses' hooves, he curiously pulled the curtain and looked out.

In front of and behind their chariot were the forbidden troops guarding them, but they were completely different from the other forbidden troops that Zhao had seen, they were tall and burly, and they carried long knives. And this knife is a bit outrageously long, even the handle is six feet, although the blade is wrapped in the sheath, but the shape is vaguely visible is a three-pointed two-edged knife, that is, the improved version of the famous knife Mo knife of the Tang Dynasty, but this kind of knife manufacturing has higher requirements for technology and materials, and it is rare in the Great Song Dynasty, not to mention large-scale equipment for troops.

"Go and call the Guardian Commander!" Zhao Ta said to the second baby outside the car, the second baby came back after a short time. But his face was weird, and he couldn't tell whether he was surprised or delighted.

"The guards in front of the palace, the infantry army, the tiger wing army, and the commander of the envoy Gao Pet, see the prince!" Zhao Taben still felt strange, he had been separated from Gao Zhong for seven or eight years, and he didn't come to see him after returning to Beijing. If it weren't for Zhu Shuzhen saying that he sent troops to protect the palace when the Jin army was besieging the city, he would have thought that he would have worshiped him, but he didn't expect him to appear here.

"I should have thought it was you. Da Song, except for you, no one else will think of this Mo knife array, get in the car! "When Gao Zhong was in Xiangyi, when he was the head coach of the club, he trained Zhuang Ding and practiced the Mo Dao Formation. No wonder it looks familiar and listens to his number. Of course, the joy is extraordinary.

"Lord Wang, the demeanor is still the same, I am not willing to be lonely wherever I go, I have been back in Beijing for so many days, and I have beaten two Zaizhi and beaten the messenger of Dajin, which really makes me admire!" Gao Pet got into the car, unceremoniously took a sip of the prince's tea, and began to rummage through the food in the car again.

"Since you know how to do it, why don't you go to see me!" Zhao Ta found a bottle of wine, and when he saw Xi, he hurriedly found two side dishes, laid out the dishes and chopsticks, and poured them wine.

"It's really good wine, Lord Wang, this is sincerely letting me violate military discipline!" Gao Pet took a deep breath, rubbed his hands and said.

"Just punish the two crimes together, so that you will be punished with twenty less military sticks!" Zhao Ta raised his glass and invited, and the two drank it all.

"Lord Wang, you are in the limelight in Beijing, I know how many people hate you to the bone, I don't want to be in a party with you, otherwise how can I mix in Beijing!" Gao Pet picked up a piece of fish and chewed it with relish.

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

"There's an order from above, don't I want to do it?" Gao Zhong said, "Hehe, I'll be honest, the road is difficult, and there is no one around you, how can I abandon the prince, so I took the initiative to ask Ying to escort the mission, it's interesting enough!" Seeing that the prince's smile became weird, he hurriedly changed his words.

"Hehe, you still have a conscience, let's have another drink, but there is no shortage of people around me to protect, but there is a lack of fierce generals!" Zhao Ta picked up the cup and looked out the window and smiled.

"Oh, what do you mean?" Gao Zhong followed the prince's line of sight and looked out the window, only to see a team of troops dressed as village soldiers chasing after him, followed by a lot of messy clothes and armor, weapons of all kinds of Ding Zhuang, the number of people is several times theirs.

"Oh, I understand, Lord Wang, this is the Ming Xiu Plank Road Darkness Chen Cang, and the news in Beijing is also spreading!" Gao Zhong and the prince have been together for so long, it can be said that they are the veterans of the loyal army, although the clothes of those village soldiers have changed, but the unique temperament they have cultivated over the years is difficult to change, and after a little thought, I understand what the prince means.

"Hmph, each other, I'm afraid you have the same mind when you train this Mo Dao team!" Zhao Ta touched a glass with him, drank wine and said.

"Ha Luha, we are really taught by a master, I thought of it, the Jin army is good at riding and archery, and our crossbow array alone can't be stopped, so I practiced this Mo sword formation, but I haven't had a chance to try!" Gao Pet Da Lu said with a smile.

"Well, just by looking at it, you know that you have wasted a lot of effort, but it costs a lot, can you afford it?" Mo knife is heavy, there are more than 20 catties, which is quite heavy, so the user must be strong, of course, eating and drinking must also keep up, but eating and drinking is still a trivial matter, the creation of weapons is time-consuming, expensive, even in the Tang Dynasty where Mo knives were prevalent, it is also a very luxurious weapon, and at this time it has been replaced by simple and cheap weapons such as axes and long knives.

"Alas, does the prince know how many soldiers I have to command?" Gao Pet asked.

"Test me, an army is five commanders, and every five hundred people commanded is two thousand five hundred, right?" Zhao replied.

"Hmph, that's the border army, the infantry army of the forbidden army in Beijing is no more than 1,200 or 300 people per army, and the horse army is even less, but the military salary is a lot, and when the troops are dispatched, they are all temporarily hired homeless people to fill the number, so although it is the number of an army, it is very wrong to have half of them!"

"So you used the extra military pay to train the soldiers, and you didn't put it in your own pocket!" Zhao Ta picked up a piece of dried meat and chewed it.

"Hehe, where is that enough, just the cost of weapons has almost emptied my money bag, the gang of weapons supervisors is really dark!" Gao Chong said with a wry smile, "I didn't know how difficult it is to do something when I left the prince, and I know that the money is never enough to spend!" ”

"Ha Luha, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if you don't call them a family!" Zhao Ta said with a smile.

"Alas, it's a pity that I have no money to train the army, but those people give a lot of money to the Jurchens, if you use this money to recruit troops and train soldiers, how can the Jurchens be rampant, I want to rob it!" Gao Pet said.

"Really?!" Zhao asked with a smile.

"What do you mean, Lord Wang, isn't it your idea to fight these golden silks again?" Looking at the smile of the prince, Gao Chong was clever in his heart, it was not that he said it unintentionally and listened!

"Giving this money to the Jurchens can only fuel their greed and make them stronger, so..."Zhao Ta said with a squeezing of his eyes.

"So the prince wants to deduct this money and put it in his pocket, the peace talks are naturally fake, and the provocation is real!" Gao Pet knows that the prince is a fan of money, and this large amount of money is given to others for nothing, so he is naturally distressed.

"No, this time I want to expel the Jurchens from Hebei and rush back to Yanjing Mansion!" Zhao Tahehe said with a sneer.

"Lord Wang, you have a fever, can we defeat tens of thousands of Jin troops with just one of us?" Gao Pet looked at the prince as if he didn't know him, he didn't get drunk if he didn't drink two glasses of wine, and the biggest possibility was that the money was burned, "The prince won't transfer the loyal soldiers, right?" He suddenly thought of another possibility, looking at the Great Song Dynasty, only the loyal soldiers had this ability.

"You just have a fever, and before the Loyal Warriors came, my head was gone!" Zhao Tan said angrily, "Now we only have your 1,000 Tiger Wing Army and 2,000 Xiangyi Zhuangzi 2,000 township soldiers in our hands, and then we have to raise them ourselves, and those money are our recruiting funds." ”

"Lord Wang, you look down on us too much, even if you can recruit tens of thousands of people, but you have no training, and you don't have firearms in the hands of the loyal soldiers, with these righteous and brave Ding Zhuang is not the opponent of the Jurchens at all!" Gao Zhong glared and said, if he didn't know that the prince was not sick, everyone would think of him as a madman.

"This king has his own clever plan, and the Jurchens are about to retire!" Zhao Tan said mysteriously.

"The Jin army is on the offensive, how can it retreat for no reason, could it be that the prince has bought which immortal to help!" Gao Chong said with a smile, the prince used to pretend to be a ghost, so that many people still think that he can pass through ghosts and gods and predict the future, but Gao Chong doesn't believe it, he has been with him for several years, only to know that the prince of the road can often analyze the development of things with clues, and then get the result he wants after careful planning, and he has never seen any immortal come.

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

"Of course, we must put out the fire first, otherwise the home will be gone, and what are you busy with!" Gao Chong replied without thinking about it, "Could it be that the prince set a fire in the Jurchens' nest and forced the Jurchens to withdraw from the army, so the prince knows that there is no danger in this trip, and the peace talks are destined to be fruitless, so he will take this errand and gain fame and fortune, and a good plan to secretly show his position!" "Gao Pet is not stupid, he reacted immediately... (To be continued......)
