Chapter 216 War is coming

Zhao Yuanzhu exclaimed, and quickly stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Dad, be kind to you, because Gao Chong is dedicated to his country, so spare him once."

Zhao Ji snorted coldly, his teeth clattered, "Come on, give it to me..."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly shouted: "Report! Your Majesty, the Great Jin Kingdom sent people to issue a letter of war. They gathered more than 100,000 troops to launch an attack on our Song Dynasty."

"Hiss--" There was a sniffle at the scene, and Zhao Ji almost fell to the ground. He trembled all over for a long time and couldn't say a word.

The soldier who reported the news knelt straight on the ground, not knowing what to do? Li Yan quickly stepped forward and supported Zhao Ji and said, "Your Majesty, please go back to the palace quickly and recruit all the adults to discuss countermeasures!"

"Yes! Yes! Let's go quickly! I'm going to Yingtian! Let's go quickly!" Zhao Ji turned around and was about to run away.

Gao Chong let out a long breath, war was inevitable; seeing Zhao Ji's appearance, do you still expect him to resist?

Thinking of this, he stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Don't worry, Master! Kaifeng Mansion is as solid as a god. We strengthened the fortifications according to the emperor's instructions. The emperor ordered the whole city to unite and ensure that everything is safe."

"Okay! OK! Gao Aiqing is responsible for garrisoning here. We must not ensure the safety of Kaifeng. Let's go and return to the palace quickly!"

Zhao Ji and the others left in a panic. Zhao Yuanzhu looked at Gao Chong with concern. This level had passed. Once the Jin soldiers retreated, Gao Chong would inevitably die.

In August of the seventh year of Xuanhe, Jin Wushu finally persuaded the generals in the court to join Wanyan Zongwang. Wanyan Zonghan asked to attack the Song Dynasty on the grounds that Zhang Jue incident had changed.

The monarch Wanyan Wu Qimai approved the report and issued a letter of war to the Song Dynasty. At the same time, Wanyan Xie was also the marshal of the capital, and was in charge of the rear command. Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan led 60,000 troops to prepare for the attack on the Song Dynasty.

When Zhao Ji was frightened, he summoned all the civil and military officials of the court to discuss how to resist the Jin soldiers. The crown prince Zhao Heng, Guangyang County Prince Tong Guan, Bai Shizhong, Li Bangyan, Ouyang Xun and others were all on the list.

Everyone was like headless flies, some said fighting, and some said peace, but they didn't know how to fight, and they didn't know how to fight. Anyway, they were just a quarrel.

Zhao Ji is now in a state of silence, and now he is furious and has a headache.

Gao Gongtai stood up and shouted: "What are you panic? The Jin army hasn't reached Kaifeng yet? Why are you panic?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then they became a little quieter. Zhao Ji also calmed down and said, "What are the great opinions of Aiqing Gao?"

"The emperor, Tan Zhen, the envoy of the Xuanfu of Hebei, and Wang Anzhong, the prefect of Yanshan, lacked understanding of the Jin people and took in and killed Zhang Jue without authorization, causing the Jin people to use this as an excuse to attack the Song Dynasty.

I suggest: remove the two of them from their official positions, and order the Tongzhi Cai Jing to be the prefect and the Hebei Road Transport Commander Lu Yihao to be in charge of government affairs in Yanjing, and cut off the excuse that the Jin soldiers could not invade."

Zhao Ji listened deeply and said, "As soon as my dear commented, I immediately issued an order, except for the prefect of Wang Anzhong Daming Prefecture, the office of the Beijing Left-behind Company, to recruit Tan Zhen back to Beijing. I ordered Lu Yihao and Cai Jing to be responsible for the government affairs of Yanshan. Gao Aiqing, what else should I report?"

"Emperor, Prince Tong of Guangyang County, served as the Xuanfu Envoy of Hedong, Hebei for a long time, and was famous in the battle of regaining Yanshan. I believe that Taiwei Tong was invited to serve as the Xuanfu Envoy of Hedong, Hebei, and go north to lead the military power, and be responsible for the fight against the Jin people."

Tong Guan heard the sweat, and almost scolded Gao Gongtai to death. He quickly stepped forward and knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister is 70 years old, he cannot ride a horse, and he cannot use his sword. He can no longer fight for the emperor. Please appoint other talents!"

Zhao Ji was a little unhappy when he heard this, and his face had already sunk.

Gao Gongtai continued: "Your Majesty, why do you need Taiwei Tong to fight on the battlefield? He will stop in Hedong and Hebei to the enemy. Before the Jin army moves, we are not busy fighting. You can let the Taiwei talk to the Jin people and see what the Jin people have. Maybe there is no need to fight this battle."

Zhao Ji's eyes lit up when he heard this. Of course it would be the best to not fight. If he could talk to him, he would be the best to avoid war.

Therefore, Zhao Ji immediately issued an order to order Tong Guan to be the Hedong Hebei Province and preside over the negotiations with the Jin people. Seeing that the imperial edict had been issued and could not be changed, Tong Guan had to reluctantly receive the edict and thank him.

Gao Gongtai continued: "Your Majesty, our Yanshan has tens of thousands of ever-winning troops, 300,000 fang troops, and Cai Jing and Lu Yihao's 300,000 Yisheng troops. With the natural dangers of Yanshan, I'm afraid the Jin people will easily break through?"

Zhao Ji nodded unstoppably and said, "I have Changsheng Yaoshi Guo, where are you afraid of him?" Zhao Ji was a little proud and regained some vitality.

Gao Gongtai kept hearing Gao Chong tell him that this pharmacist Guo was not trustworthy, but when he saw Zhao Ji trusting this pharmacist Guo very much, he didn't dare to disappoint him at this time.

"Emperor, even if that is the case, he must order Chen Go, Zhongshan Zhan Du, and Li Miao to reorganize his army and prepare for war, and reinforce Yanshan at any time just in case."

"Gao Aiqing is a man of old sayings. I have Gao Aiqing, so why worry about the country being unstable? Why are the Jin Kingdom afraid of attacking! The report is correct!"

"Thank you Your Majesty! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

After the ministers saluted, they all withdrew from the palace. Gao Gongtai also breathed a long sigh and asked someone to go to Gao Chong to discuss.

"Greetings to uncle!" Gao Chong fell down to bow when he saw Gao Gongtai. Gao Gongtai already knew what happened in Huayangyuan today. He sighed softly and said, "Nephew, don't be so reckless in the future. If the Jin army hadn't started a sudden war, how could you have your life?"

"Yes! My nephew has been taught! I really can't bear to let him down after all his efforts!"

"Oh!" Gao Gongtai sighed and said, "I won't say these things anymore. I don't cherish the state of the government. Don't be too sad. By the way, I came here today just to ask you, are you so unfaithful about this war?

That Yaoshi Guo is still very powerful, and Yanshan Mansion is also very talented and has enough food. He wouldn’t be defeated like this, right?”

"Uncle, I have already said that this pharmacist Guo is not enough to be a screen. Maybe the greater his strength, the greater the harm it will be to us. Kaifeng can no longer be able to stay, and it is not because I think so myself! I have seen it, so many people have already gone to the south to buy land."

"Oh! Is it just lost the great Kaifeng? I can't accept it all at once."

"Don't worry! Uncle, believe me, one day I will capture Kaifeng again! Uncle, have the family and property transferred?"

"The transfer has basically been completed. Shize and your aunt have purchased a large amount of land by the West Lake, and their family and money have basically been transferred. How about your top scholar building?"

"Don't worry! Li Gong is in Hangzhou, and the building over there is about to open."

"It's so good, where is your mother? Has the grandfather's family arranged it?"

"I have communicated with my mother for a long time. She is unwilling to leave her hometown, so she is unwilling to leave. However, I have an industry in the mountains, and the property has been transferred one after another. Just feel at ease."

"That's good! That's good! I don't know when this war will end."

Gao Gongtai sighed at home, and Tong Guan was also frowning. Gao Gongtai tried his best to cause trouble for himself. The Jin people were good to meet? These were all a group of tigers, so I asked myself to feed the tigers!

Just when he was worried, there was a noise outside, and his fake son Tong Xiu came back from outside in a crooked manner. Tong Xiu was Tong Guan's nephew and adopted him under Tong Guan's name.

Tong Xiu is a playboy, often mingling with Gao Yaokang and others, the second boy from Gao Taiwei's family, and loves to cause trouble.

Tong Guan turned a blind eye to this son on weekdays. Today, he was in a bad mood. Seeing that he had come back in a rude manner, he called him into the house and scolded him.

Tong Xiu was scolded for nothing, and was as wilted as a frost-beating eggplant.

Tong Guan snorted coldly and said, "You! I am over 70 years old. If I make trouble like this, who will take care of you if I die? Aren't you swallowed up by life?"

Tong Xiu was sweet-mouthed and quickly smiled, "How can it be? The grandfather is favored by the official family and was named Prince Guangyang. What a great honor; and the grandfather is still strong, who can't sell our men to face? Even the official family is polite to such an old man."

"Hmph! What do you know? Now, unlike in the past, the Song Dynasty is about to fight again, and I don't know if my own can escape this disaster."

Tong Xiu was stunned and said, "Grandpa, can't we afford to offend us? Why do we have to fight against them?"

"Hide? I want to hide! The official family has already ordered the generals, can I hide?" Tong Guan cursed, and suddenly he was stunned: "Yes! We can hide! You really said it right."

"Ah!" Tong Xiu didn't know why he suddenly changed his attitude when he was scolding his godfather. He was a little overwhelmed.

"Get out of here! Be careful these days and don't cause trouble anymore. Otherwise, no one can protect you."

Tong Xiu quickly agreed and ran away.

Tong Guan went to the hall to say goodbye to Zhao Ji the next day and hurried to take up his post. However, he did not go to the front line Yanjing, but ran to Hedong Road.

Tong Guan was the Xuanfu envoy of Hedong and Hebei. He was actually not wrong at all when he ran to Hedong Road. Zhang Xiaochun, the governor of Taiyuan, was the Xuanfu envoy of Hedong Road and the governor of Taiyuan, and was the general manager of the military and horse capital of Taiyuan. He heard that his immediate superior Tong Guan was coming, so he hurriedly took his subordinates, Wang Bing, the deputy governor of Taiyuan Prefecture, out of the city to greet him.

As soon as Tong Guan entered Taiyuan City and explained his purpose, he began to send people to contact Jin people to prepare for negotiations. Soon the Jin people sent an envoy to Taiyuan to negotiate with Tong Guan.

The Jin man was very arrogant and asked Tong Guan to immediately cut the land of the two rivers to apologize to the Jin man. Tong Guan was so scared that he was dejected and unable to deal with it.
