"It is impossible for an official to have a million Western Army, but Qian Xueshi and Zhong Taiwei were cheating on the millions not to deceive the emperor, but to scare the Jin thieves outside the city!"

The Chongzheng Palace was preparing for Qian Gai, and the two of Zhong Shidao explained that it was Li Gang. Li Gang was in a good mood today, and a face that had been tense for three months finally showed a smile.

The Western Army has finally arrived!

Although the edicts that demanded local kings to be conquered were spread across the country like snowflakes before Kaifeng was trapped, the savior that Kaifeng court really hoped for was the Western Army.

After all, after the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Western Army, which was at the forefront of the conflict with Western Xia for many years, was the strongest legion of the Song Dynasty. Although they were defeated by the seemingly dead end Liao soldiers commanded by Yelu Dashi during the Xuanhe Northern Expedition, they finally had to spend huge sums of money to buy back Youzhou, which lacked a "door", laying a hidden danger for the current Jin thieves' invasion.

But besides them, Li Gang really couldn't think of any other army in the Song Dynasty that could trap the Jin thieves in Kaifeng Prefecture in the battle.

If the Western Army had not come to serve the king for a long time, then Li Gang would not have the confidence to go to the field with the Jin thieves. If he could not fight in the field and blindly defend, he would definitely not be able to defend Kaifeng Prefecture.

After all, there is no food produced in Kaifeng Prefecture. Once the food is exhausted, Kaifeng Prefecture will be broken without fighting. Once the Kaifeng Prefecture falls, who else can the Song Dynasty rely on? Zhao Kai, the Prince of Yun of Daming Prefecture? It is not reliable to think about it...

So if the Western Army, who was serving the king, had not come yet, Li Gang would not dare to bet on the fate of the Song Dynasty to fight against the Jin thieves.

Moreover, even if he wanted to bet, the imperial guards, soldiers and civilians in Kaifeng Prefecture did not dare to go out of the city to fight with the Jin thieves. They really didn't have the ability, and forcing them to leave the city would die in vain.

But now it is different. The most elite Western Army in the Song Dynasty has arrived. With the participation of the Western Army, Li Gang has the confidence to fight.

Not only Li Gang has confidence, but also Prince Zhao Huan has confidence... Before going to court today, Prince Geng Nanzhong, the teacher, had already passed the bottom of Li Gang. The prince is now determined to fight with the Jin people!

If the official and the head of the family are in harmony, then hehe...

The prince also asked Li Gang to release the news that "millions of Western Army have arrived" so that the good people in Kaifeng Prefecture will know... In this way, peace talks cannot be successful!

If peace talks cannot be successful, then the achievements of peace talks by Prince Yun Zhao Kai will be gone. It would be good if he did not punish him as a ruler for harming the country in the future...

Thinking of these happy things, Zhao Huan, a prince next to Zhao Ji, almost laughed out loud!

Zhao Ji glanced at Zhao Huan from the corner of his eyes, feeling a little unhappy again. Isn’t it just that the Western Army is coming... Why are you so happy, the prince? Are you colluding with Qian Gai and Zhong Shidao? No, you can’t make you too proud.

You look a bit like a rebellious person now! Do you want to become an official in the yellow robe after the Jin people retreated?

This is not possible! I will not agree!

After making up his mind, Zhao Ji coughed, and asked Li Gang: "Li Qing, then do you think how many soldiers and horses are there in the Western Army who are serving the king?"

"This... I guess there are 200,000?" Li Gang reported a very reassuring number.

"So many?" Zhao Ji shook his head gently, expressing his disbelief.

"There are always there, there are always 100,000 to 150,000." Li Gang had to say a little less.

Zhao Ji looked at Li Gang, "Li Qing, tell me the truth... How many troops in Kaifeng Prefecture can go out of the city to fight?"

"This..." Li Gang was not sure if there were such an army in Kaifeng Prefecture? However, after thinking for a while, he still reported a number, "It was about 50,000."

Zhao Ji said: "The King of Kings outside Kaifeng Prefecture is 100,000, and the war-capable soldiers in the city are 50,000, and the total number is only 150,000... So how many Jin thieves are besieging Kaifeng Prefecture?"

"It's about 100,000." Li Gang reported another guessed number.

There is no one else. I rely on guessing how many soldiers I have, and also guessing the number of enemies!

Zhao Ji nodded and asked again: "So can Li Qing defeat the 100,000 Jin army with the imperial guards from the northwest and Kaifeng?"

"This..." Li Gang didn't know what to say.

The 150,000 Song army defeated 100,000 Jin soldiers...it seemed impossible to be defeated!

At that time, the number of Western Army and the Hebei Imperial Army defeated the remaining soldiers of Nanjing Road, Liao Kingdom, did not win!

Zhao Ji looked at Li Gang with nothing to say, and then said, "The Prince Yun has been to Hebei for a while, so I guess he wouldn't just be busy discussing peace, right? Prince Yun is aware of the army, and the imperial army in various places in Hebei cannot be less than 100,000. Before, there were no leaders, but now with Prince Yun as the leader, it must have been gathered. If the troops in Hedong are added, there will be more.

If Prince Yun could lead the troops from Hebei and Hedong to Liyang, Weizhou, and Kaide Prefecture to block the return of the Jin bandits, and Li Qing sent another 150,000 troops out of Kaifeng and advance step by step. He could make the Jin bandits lose their stance and be attacked from both sides. At the same time, Qing and Prince Yun did not have to fight with the bandits. They just had to advance high and slowly pressed each other, and they would definitely force the Jin bandits to retreat north. After the bandits retreated, they would send large troops to pursue them, and they would be able to achieve full success.

Li Qing, what do you think of my method? Can you win?"

After hearing what Zhao Kai said, the civil and military officials and prince Zhao Huan in the court were all surprised - When did the officials learn to fight?

In the surprised eyes of everyone, Zhao Ji just smiled proudly, fighting... It's not a problem! I have read military books hard in the palace people these days, such as "The Art of War", "The Art of War of Wu Zi", "The Six Strategies", "Sima Fa", "Three Strategies", "Yi Liaozi", and "Li Weigong Questions" all of them!

So now I have learned to fight!

"The father is like a god in his military service, and the sons admire him!"

Zhao Huan was the first to take the lead in flattering Emperor Daojun.

"The official and his family are so smart that they will definitely win this battle. I will congratulate you!"

The ministers also took photos together, but only Li Gang remained silent.

Zhao Ji coughed, and the court immediately became quiet. He looked at Li Gang with a frown slightly, "Li Qing thinks my method doesn't work?"

"Your Majesty misunderstood," Li Gang shook his head, "I also think that Your Majesty's strategy is good enough to defeat the enemy. However, the internal and external traffic is not smooth, the information is not clear, and the situation in Hebei is not clear..."

Zhao Ji laughed and said, "It is not impossible to get in and out of traffic. Money is absent, and the memorial of Zhong Shidao has been sent in? I can also send more than a dozen cavalry teams to issue an edict to Prince Yun. He ordered him to lead a million troops from Hebei to Liyang, guard the Yellow River, and eliminate the northern road!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhao Huan again and said, "To encourage the fighting spirit of Prince Yun, I can also issue an edict to grant him the title of General Tiance!"

The matter of conferring the title of King of Wei is no longer mentioned, and it has been changed back to the path of "Zhao Shimin"!

When Zhao Huan heard the title of "General Tiance", he shivered!

Li Gang asked calmly, "Your Majesty, I wonder what power this General Tiance has?"

Zhao Ji said: "General Tiance is above the Taiwei, he is a first-rank military officer, and the leader of the military officials of this dynasty!"

This turned out to be a martial arts official!

But Zhao Huan's heart was still hung up. After all, Zhao Kai had long claimed to learn from Li Shimin, and now he has become General Tiance again... It's terrible to think about it!

Thinking of this, Zhao Huan cast a look at Li Gang for help again.

Li Gang just pretended not to see it, but talked about the peace talks: "Your Majesty, will the peace talks with the Jin people continue?"

Zhao Ji smiled and said, "Of course we have to continue... We must let the Jin people untie the Kaifeng Prefecture first so that I can dispatch the soldiers in the world!"

It turns out that Zhao Ji, who had learned to fight, did not find a way to break the Jin army outside Kaifeng City from the military books, so he could only cheat!
