When Zhao Kai was about to leave Tokyo Bianliang, this imperial city of the Song Dynasty also began to prepare for the war with all its might under the command of the newly established emperor's personal camp.

Because Zhao Ji, the official family did not abdicate and ran away, most of Tong Guan, who had been in charge of the army for 20 years, and most of the Shengjie generals under Tong Guan were still not running away in Tokyo. Moreover, Tong Guan was sent by Zhao Ji as the deputy envoy of the battalion, Li Gang, who was recommended by the ministers of the two governments, and the former Cuju star who was seriously ill. Gao Qiu, the current Grand Marshal of the Third Office, presided over the Tokyo defense arrangement.

Although Tong Guan's performance in Xuanhe's Northern Expedition was a mess, after all, he had been leading troops for more than 20 years, and his military level was still better than that of Li Gang, a civil servant. Therefore, under his suggestion, the current deployment of Tokyo's defense is much more reasonable than when Li Gang led the Tokyo Defense War in his previous life.

First of all, Tong Guan did not forget Mou Tuogang's military horses and horse materials. After Zhao Kai sent people to take away five thousand horses, there were still 15,000 military horses in the Moutuogang horse farm, as well as mountains of grass and bean cakes. These horses and grass must not fall into the hands of the golden thief!

Therefore, starting from the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month, more than 10,000 people from Shengjie Army and the guards' horse army were busy transporting all the horses and forage from Moutuogang into Kaifeng Prefecture City. All the hay that could not be transported must be burned to avoid fighting against the enemy.

Secondly, several points were set up outside the Bianliang City in Tokyo to cover the east, south, west and north sides of the outer city of Bianliang. Since ancient times, the lonely city was difficult to defend, so the guards would set up branch villages and forts outside the city as much as possible to cover the main city, increase the difficulty of the enemy digging moats and besieging the city, and increase the depth of the city defense.

At this time, outside the Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo, there were already various palaces, temples, posts and villages, including many solid buildings that could be transformed into branch fortresses.

Among these buildings, Qionglin Garden in the west of Kaifeng City, Qingcheng Palace in the south of Kaifeng City, Hanfang Garden in the north of Kaifeng City, and Yichun Garden in the east of Kaifeng City are the most solid!

Among them, Baojin Tower beside Jinming Pool in Qionglin Garden is about seven or eight meters high, and it also has a rammed earth-covered brick base three or four meters high, which looks like a large watchtower!

In addition, a small island was manually filled in the Jinming Pond next to Baojin Tower. The Five Halls of Water Heart were built on the island. As long as it was slightly transformed, it would be a fortress. Once the water in the Jinming Pond thawed, the fortress would be surrounded by water on all sides, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

On the morning of the 24th, Qionglin Garden, which was originally an imperial garden and no one else entered, suddenly became noisy. A large number of soldiers and civilians carried shovels, shovels, axes, saws and other tools early in the morning. Under the leadership of a group of civil and military officials, they drove into Qionglin Garden from Xinzheng Gate in the outer city of Kaifeng, and then started construction. Some dug soil, some cut trees, some demolished houses, and some slashed all the strange rockery stones that the official Zhao Ji spent a lot of money to collect in Qionglin Garden, and then moved them to the tall Baojin Tower...

Several civil servants above the sixth rank in scorching robes walked up to the top of Baojin Tower together. They looked down from a high place, looked at the railing, and pointed from time to time, and whispered.

However, what they were talking about had nothing to do with the transformation and defense of Qionglinyuan.

"The three kings brought people to take 3.3 million yuan from the warehouse yesterday. Today, the Shengjie Army drove away many Mu Tuogang's army and horses into the Prince Yun's Mansion. Since three days ago, the people from Prince Yun's Mansion have been searching for carts and mules and horses everywhere... It seems that they will leave the city in the past two days!"

The civil servant who said this was Wu Min who was a pioneer in Chongzheng Hall and persuaded Zhao Ji to run away in Neichan. He was a pioneer in losing his position and lost his subordinate minister. Now he has become a military senator who is the emperor personally in the camp.

"It's good to leave! If he doesn't leave, the government may change the foundation of the country!"

The person who talked with Wu Min was the camp of the emperor's personal quest and camp, and Li Gang, who was also the right prime minister of the Shangshu. Although he was only a leader, Zhao Ji had to use him to stare at a group of arrogant soldiers and generals gathered at Kaifeng Prefecture one after another. Therefore, not only did he not get rid of his position, he also gave him a deputy prime minister and ordered him to preside over the defense of Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo.

Geng Nanzhong, the old minister with white beard and white hair, also climbed to Baojin Tower today. After hearing Li Gang's words, he just shook his head and said, "But if he really bought and returned the Jin soldiers, his status as the foundation of the country would be lost!"

"Brother Xi Dao, you're too worried." Li Gang smiled, "As soon as the Jin soldiers retreated, the officials' hearts were relieved. He was in such a good health and had at least twenty or thirty years to be the official family. How could he make a vassal king like Prince Yun as the crown prince?"

Geng Nanzhong narrowed his eyes and said, "It's hard to say... The government has always favored Prince Yun. When he attacked Yan Yun in the north, he wanted to use him as the marshal so that he could make great contributions to replace the prince. If Prince Yun bought and returned the gold thief this time, he might be able to take gold to respect himself, and becoming the foundation of the country is expected!"

"It's not easy to buy and return the Jin soldiers, right?" Li Gang thought for a moment, "If the Jin thieves were not frustrated under the city of Tokyo, how could they be willing to retreat to the north?"

"Does the Right Chief think that the Tokyo city cannot stop the Jin thief?" Geng Nanzhong asked back.

"How could it be impossible?" Li Gang said, "Even if the officials abdicated and left, Prince Yun was trapped in the mansion, and my younger brother was sure to defend Tokyo. Moreover, the officials have not left now, Prince Yun has also gone to the Hebei Governor?"

"Isn't that all!" Geng Nanzhong said angrily, "The Jin thieves were frustrated by the city and were attacked by the Hebei rebels on their backs. In a dilemma, Prince Yun handed over another ladder for peace talks. How could the Jin thieves not go down? Three million a year, five times more than the annual monies we gave to the Khitans! At that time, Prince Yun made good Jin people outside and was supported by Hebei soldiers inside. How could the official dare not change the foundation of the country? If the official did not change the foundation of the country, Prince Yun would have to lead troops to change it!"

Li Gang and Wu Min frowned when they heard this. Geng Nanzhong's words were reasonable. The official family was just a coward. The day before yesterday, he almost gave up the throne to Prince Yun in Chongzheng Hall. If Prince Yun had not had a shallow foundation and had a great enemy, he would have been a new official family now.

Geng Nanzhong said again: "And Prince Yun has done a task of forcing the palace to force the palace, and he keeps saying that he wants to be Li Shimin. If he really has the credit and military achievements of Li Shimin, how can he not go further? And what kind of people in the official family, don't you know?"

It makes sense!

Both Li Gang and Wu Min realized the seriousness of the problem!

Although both of them knew that Zhao Kai's literary and military strategy was much stronger than Zhao Huan, as civil officials who adhered to the Song Dynasty system, they would not support the deposed elders and the deposed elders and the deposed legitimates and the unscrupulous kings, and they would not like a brave and cruel king like Zhao Kai. If a prince like Zhao Kai led troops into an official family, it would be doubtful whether the Song Dynasty's system of using literature to control military affairs could continue.

This is something that scholars and officials in the world don’t want to see!

Wu Min already understood Geng Nanzhong’s thoughts and asked immediately: “Brother Xi Dao has any way to stop Prince Yun from going further?”

Li Gang also understood, so he asked, "Brother Xi Dao has any good plans, so tell me quickly. Don't you know what Wu Yuanzhong and I want to do?"

"Okay, then I'll say it!" Geng Nanzhong held his beard and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Prince Yun wants to cross the river, so we will demolish the bridge... After demolishing his peace talks, he will never be able to return to Kaifeng Prefecture after crossing the river!"

"How to dismantle it?" Li Gang asked.

"How can I coax the Jin thief to retreat after demolishing the bridge of peace?" Wu Min also asked.

Geng Zhongnan smiled and said, "According to the report of Prince Yun, after he went to Hebei, he would take Daming Prefecture as the foundation... If all the scholars and soldiers in Daming Prefecture were in charge of war and reprimanding peace, which made the crowd angry, would Prince Yun dare to send envoys to beg for peace in Jinying?

Since Prince Yun is unable to preside over the peace talks, then after the Jin thieves gathered outside Tokyo, the court would send people to negotiate? It would be fine if he could cut off Yanshan Mansion and pay 3 million yuan in annual monies!"

Wu Min asked: "But how could the scholars and people in Daming Prefecture make trouble?"
