Although the failure to rescue Taiyuan in the seed division was expected, it still made Zhao Ta very sad. When he learned that the emperor's brother was ready to send a large army to help, Zhao Ta knew that this was the last point of the Great Song Dynasty that could be mobilized, and the 'anti-autumn' was imminent, with the current situation, the Jurchens who had tasted the sweetness would inevitably go south again, and once the Yellow River defense line was lost, the Jurchens would be under the Bianjing City for the second time, and the Great Song Dynasty died in this battle in history.

Zhao Ta thought about it again and again and decided to send troops, and he thought of the results after sending troops: one was to get the favor of the imperial brother, and the brothers joined forces to fight against the Jin army and the Great Song Dynasty; The other is to show his strength, arouse the royal brother's 'attention', the best ending is to be a free prince, and the most promising place to go is a farmer in the royal concentration camp in Beiguo City.

For the first result, Zhao Ta knew in his heart that with his imperial brother's mind and bearing, that is, his wishful thinking, it was basically impossible to achieve it, but he wanted to give it a try, for his brothers, for Taiyuan City, for the people of the Great Song Dynasty, I hope that God has eyes and can see his hard work!

On the third day of the sixth month, Zhao Ta issued a recruitment order in the name of the pacification envoy of Hezhong Road, and sent the archers of the state capitals, the tun army, and the Tibetan tribe to recruit volunteers to rescue Taiyuan. After the order, Xu Hong, the capital of Zhiling Prefecture, took the lead in responding and personally led 10,000 troops to come. Then Wang Jin, the prefect of Xiazhou, Yeli, the prefect of Hezhou, Zhou Dajun, the commander of the Youzhou Soldiers and Horses, Leimai, Baoji Abao, Zhengchuan, etc., all led the troops, and gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses in ten days.

Since then, there have been patrols of various forts and forts, and archers have continued to join, at first it was only Hezhong Road, and later spread to the adjacent Hedong Road. Most of these people are displaced people from the southeast who fled to Hedong in turmoil, and they have been stable through accumulation and development in recent years. I heard that the prince recruited troops to bring his own bow and horses, and formed eighty archers to command. Thirty commanders of volunteers and braves, with nearly 100,000 people.

Immediately after Sheng Hetang took the lead in donating 60,000 stone of grain and 200,000 yuan of money to the army, in recent years, a Yanzhou has already had countless big merchants in the river, and the development of border trade has also made the merchants rich, everyone feels the gift of the prince, and has donated grain and donations, raising a total of 500,000 stone of grain and 2 million yuan.

Gathered under the command of the prince is the old ministry of the prince's past. The soldiers who had accompanied the prince on his westward expedition came more in the name of the prince's loyalty. However, it was discovered that Zhao Ren, the former deputy commander of the Loyal and Brave Army and the current envoy of the Hezhong Army, who was the most important of the prince, not only did not send a single soldier, but ordered to prevent the old troops of the Loyal and Brave Army, which had been converted into a military camp, from coming to help in the battle, and reported the matter to the imperial court.

But Zhao Ren couldn't stop all the people, after the good brothers Zhao Yan, Zhao Zhi and others in the past denounced their ingratitude, they led the dragon general, the tiger general and the wolf general 1st Brigade, the 2nd Brigade and the 1st Artillery Brigade, a total of 15,000 people from the garrison to join the prince, determined to advance and retreat with the prince, and their behavior was of course praised by everyone. and scolded Zhao Ren and others for their injustice, Zhao Ta could only shake his head and smile bitterly when he heard it, lamenting that everyone has their own aspirations.

Since the recruitment order, 200,000 troops have been gathered to the present, which greatly exceeded Zhao Ta's expectations. He didn't expect his popularity to be so good, others were worried about the lack of soldiers, and he was worried about too many people. He did not yet have the experience of commanding so many troops. Now it is more troublesome how to deploy so many troops, although they are well trained. But they don't belong to each other, and they want to put so many miscellaneous cards together. Being able to cooperate with each other tacitly does give him a problem!

If there is a solution to the matter of integrating the troops, but at this time, it is impossible to make things vigorous and want to keep a low profile, at first according to the original intention, it is enough to have 20,000 or 30,000 people to support the scene, and then let Zhao Ren lead the army with the Hezhong army envoy to go on the expedition, and he will be a supporting role, that is, he will promote Zhao Ren and hide his strength. But now that things are out of his control, he can only wronged Zhao Ren to carry the black pot, and he simply did it vigorously...

"Has the prince resolutely led the army to help this time?" Yang Shi asked worriedly.

"At this moment, the army is gathered, as if the arrow is on the string and has to be sent, and the armies are not subordinate to each other, the king does not come forward, no one can control the situation, and others can only repeat the mistake of the defeat of the old general!" Zhao said.

"Alas, in this way, if you lose, you can still be saved, and if you win, the prince's situation will be even more difficult!" Yang Shi sighed and said, he was well-read, and of course he knew the ruthlessness of the royal battle.

"Mr. Kameyama is too worried, the prince raised his arms and shouted, and tens of thousands of troops gathered under his command, and what he did was also a righteous thing for the benefit of the country and the people, the emperor should be rewarded, how could he blame the prince!" Chen Dong waved his hand and said.

"Shaoyang, do you know that the emperor has issued several edicts to rectify and collect the army, and tried every possible way to increase the number of troops, but there are few responders, and the military strength has not been increased, how can you rest assured when you see the prince like this? You're doing too much! Yang Shi looked at Chen Dong and said solemnly.

"Mr. Kameyama is serious, the last time I entered Beijing, I led the Tai student Fu Que to write a book, and the emperor adopted it all, and killed and degraded Cai Jing and other evil thieves, it can be seen that the new emperor is the king of Qingming!" Chen Dong said disappreciatively.

"Shaoyang, it's really a good thing that you can bring Taixue people to Beijing this time, but you don't know the danger. When you were writing, the palace sent several times to assassinate you, and if it wasn't for the prince sending guards to protect you secretly, you would have died in Huangquan. And when you wrote on the same day, the emperor ordered Wang Meng and Li Bangyan to mobilize heavy troops to suppress it, but the situation was out of control, and the fear of a civil change let you go, but you didn't know the danger. Afterwards, Geng Nanzhong and the others have drawn up a list to be killed to force the palace on the right day, you Chen Dong is at the top of the list, if it weren't for the prince to quickly arrange for you to lead people out of Beijing, I'm afraid of you..."Yang Shi shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"You express the people's support for Li Gang as the prime minister, but also out of public intentions, but also let Li Gang bear the name of bringing the public to the palace, and now he is forced by the saint to send aid to Taiyuan for Hebei Xuanfu, which seems to rely on it is actually degraded from Beijing, and with a powerless scholar to lead the army against the Jurchens, the result is self-evident, this time there is no more war in the Central Plains, the prince decided to send troops this time is also to protect a loyal minister, leaving the last hope for the Great Song Dynasty!" Zhou Xingji said.

"Are the two gentlemen generalizing!" Chen Dong defended, "In addition to the six thieves in the DPRK and the central government, the capital was able to not lose, and the people were happy, and the government and the opposition were happy, even if it is not a credit to the society, it can't be said to be exaggerated, right?" ”

"You only know one and don't know the other, it is precisely because you killed the six thieves that you also put the heads of the world's scholars on the edge of the knife, which also makes the prince's battle more dangerous!" Yang Shi's words became intense... (To be continued......)
