Zhao Tong called the generals to discuss matters. This time he led his army eastward and brought out all the generals he could bring, dozens of them.

His eyes scanned both sides and landed on Luda: "Zhishen."

Luda immediately stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty..."

Zhao Tong nodded: "I'm used to shouting this Dharma chant, so it's hard to change my words, but you don't have any words."

Lu Da said: "Your Majesty, just call me. I studied for two days when I was a teenager, and a teacher taught me how to write my cousin. But after we marched into the army, all the illiterate bastards called Lu Da, and they didn't use it for a long time. I almost forgot about it.”

Zhao Tong smiled and said: "Then continue to praise Zhishen. I will give you five thousand soldiers and horses this time and rush to Zhuxian Town in the north. If you encounter Jin soldiers, you will mainly fight on the move. If you encounter heavy cavalry, retreat directly. If we don’t meet them, we will lay in ambush and wait for the Chinese army to arrive.”

Luda heard the words and accepted the order, and Zhao Tao looked at Li Kui on the other side: "Tianniu."

Li Kui stood up hurriedly, and Zhao Tao said: "I will also give you five thousand soldiers and horses. Do what Zhishen and I said before. Is it possible?"

Li Kui nodded fiercely: "It can be done, it can be done!"

Zhao Tong looked at Qin Ming and Suo Chao again. They also stood up and saluted. Zhao Tong also gave each of them five thousand men and horses, and did the same thing.

The four he named were all hot-tempered and fierce, daring to fight and charge, and extremely powerful and skilled in martial arts. Needless to say, Luda, Li Kui was nicknamed Black Whirlwind, just like a bull, Qin Ming was nicknamed Thunderbolt, Suo Super nicknamed vanguard, you can tell what his temperament is by looking at these nicknames.

The Jin Army is different from previous wars. First of all, the momentum cannot overwhelm the opponent. Now that the Jurchens are in the middle of the sun, they have the confidence to be invincible. They attack naturally with great momentum. Even if ordinary generals can control it, they may not be able to control their subordinates. The army needs strong generals as vanguards.

Four pioneers are unprecedented.

Zhao Tong explained to the four men again, and after sending them out, they continued to discuss the war strategy.

Wei County is about fifty miles away from Zhuxian Town, and Zhuxian Town is close to fifty miles away from Tokyo City. If Zhao Tong's army uses Wei County as its rear, then Zhuxian Town will be very important.

Gyeonggi Road is mainly a plain. If the two armies confront each other, Zhuxian Town will be a stuck point and can be captured as a place to rest and supplement.

There are many Jurchen cavalry, and there are also many on Zhao's side. Under the attack, there is no time to set up camp. In this way, resting places are precious, and Zhuxian Town is due south of Tokyo City, and the southbound It is the only way to pass, and it can be used as a supply place or as a forward. It has the advantage of advancing, attacking, retreating and defending.

After some discussion, we decided to wait for news. After all, we couldn’t get through Iron Buddha Tu, so the strategies we needed to deal with were different.

If it comes this time, then make a decision directly. If it doesn't come this time, then it will definitely come next time, and you can also make a decision in advance.

Zhao Tong thought at this time that it would be great if he could find a general who participated in the Battle of Sixteen Provinces, the Battle of Yandi, or the Battle of Hebei to ask about the specific appearance of Tiefu Tu and the characteristics of the attack.

But where can I find it now?
Naturally, he had military reports and found out that the Western Army's East Route Service Division Road Department had been beaten to pieces and completely dispersed. Some of the remaining troops who crossed the Yellow River had entered the city of Tokyo, but they could not call people out from Tokyo for questioning. .

As for the West Route Army, they were defeated on the Hedong Road. It seemed to be even worse than the East Route Army. However, after all, Hedong is the important town of Taiyuan. Now Wang Zhen is guarding it, Tong Guan is probably still there, and the Zhe family has been running it, so Wanyan Zonghan did not do the same. Come to Gyeonggi Province.

If the East Route Army can't find anyone to ask, can the West Route Army find someone to ask?
Zhao Tong thought about it over and over, and finally frowned. It was too far away from Hedong. It would take time to send people back and forth. It would also take time to find people there because of the war. When we got back, the day lilies were all cold.

But normally, there should be soldiers and horses of King Qin in Hedong. He has accepted many loyal heroes along the way to form the Xinyi Army, and there should also be people from Hedong Road. In the original historical development, the Zhe family would have someone to lead them. Soldiers rescued the capital. It was supposed to be Zheyan's charge. Even if Yan Di was defeated before Zheyan's charge, he was injured or something else, the Zhe family would have sent someone else.

At this time, Zhe Keqiu had not surrendered the money. In fact, he surrendered in the fourth year of Jianyan in the Southern Song Dynasty. He surrendered to the Jurchens after his family was arrested and coerced. Then he was poisoned by the Jurchens not long after, and the Zhe family was divided into two.

The main lineage of the Zhe family was wiped out, and hundreds of members of the main line surrendered. Zhe Keqiu's son Zhe Yanwen accepted the gold as the master and became the gold official on his behalf.

The southern faction of the Zhe family was established from then on, and headed by Zhe Yanzhi continued to serve the Song Dynasty. Zhe Yanzhi was regarded as the new head of the Zhe family. The Zhe family also began to shift from military to civil, with Zhe Yanzhi reaching the highest position of deputy prime minister.

As for the most handsome man in the current generation of the Zhe family, Zhe Kecun, who once served under him, died of illness on the way to counterattack Yanyun last year.

Just as Zhao Tong was thinking, suddenly a scout came back from outside the tent to report that an army of horses was galloping from the northwest. It was already less than a hundred miles away. At this moment, there was probably only fifty or sixty miles left to report.

Zhao Tong asked: "Where are the soldiers and horses, and what banner are they flying?"

The scout said: "Your Majesty, the banner with Song characters and the banner of Hedong Zhejia are also flying."

Zhao Tong was overjoyed when he heard this. This really means Cao Cao. Cao Cao is about to arrive. I don't know who is coming from the Zhejia family. If there is anyone who was defeated from Yan before, just ask about the situation of Tiefu Tu.

He was waiting in the tent. It was already afternoon, and he heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance. In fact, it was still far away, but with his great master's ear, he heard it before others.

Naturally, there was a strong formation outside. Although the scouts reported that they were Zhejia's army attacking the Song flag, they still had to be just in case and be careful of others impersonating them.

Zhao Tan asked Li Yanxian and Xu Ning to go and see them. They looked carefully, and then called Shi Jin to follow. Shi Jin had dealt with Zhe's family when he was in Longyou. At that time, not only Zhe Hanmei but also Zhe Zhichang was in Longyou. Zhe Zhichang also called some other children of the Zhe family, and he recognized most of them.

A few people went out, and it didn't take long before they heard footsteps coming from outside the tent. It was noisy, and it was not just a few or two people.

Xu Ning came in first to report: "Your Majesty, we have indeed destroyed our army. We have 20,000 troops in our headquarters, and there are also five or six thousand rebel troops collected along the way."

Zhao Tong said: "Who is leading it? Is it the manager?"

Zhe Yanzhi was now the general manager of the Huanqing Road Military and Horse Command, so he was called Zhao Tong.

Xu Ning shook his head and said: "It's not the manager, it's..."

Before he finished speaking, Shi Jin opened the curtain with a happy face: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, look who is here..."

Zhao Tong squinted and saw a female general standing pretty outside the tent, wearing a sun-facing helmet with flying phoenixes and flowers on her head, thin white silver armor with secret locks, a gleaming breastplate, and seven swords hanging at her waist.

This woman has an oval face, a pointed chin, handsome eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and is unparalleled in beauty.

He couldn't help being stunned, then stood up and laughed: "I wonder who is here? Isn't this the king's Xiao Hanmei!"
