Zhao Tai agreed with Wang Wentong's view that winning the hearts and minds of the people won the world, and even more agreed with his suggestion to keep a low profile.

Because sometimes winning the hearts of the people may not really win the world. This is not a certain thing.

The Mongols are too powerful. If he becomes the main target of attack by the Mongols, I am afraid that if he has won the hearts and minds of the people and fails to take advantage of them, he will be taken away by the Mongols in a wave.

During this period, he did too many earth-shattering things, and it was indeed too easy for him to arouse revenge from the Mongols.

Therefore, he should really consider keeping a low profile, let the Mongols focus on destroying the Jin Dynasty and attacking the Song Dynasty, and make them the main target of Mongolia's attack, so that he can develop slowly and gradually grow into a force that can fight against the Mongolia.

Now he is still a seedling. It can be said that it is quite easy for Mongolia to destroy him. They can easily destroy the territory and army he currently has.

At this moment, Zhao Tai secretly reminded himself that when facing Mongolia in the future, he should not be too pushy. Unless he has the strength to fight, he should appear as little as possible in Mongolia's field of vision, so that the Mongolians would think that he is not a big threat.

The strategy that Wang Wentong worked so hard to come up with was summarized by Zhao Tai's nine-character mantra, which shocked Wang Wentong.

He has always thought highly of himself, comparing himself to the sleeping dragon and the phoenix, and thought that he could use his wisdom to assist the Ming Lord in conquering the world, but he found that he seemed to be crushed.

This made Wang Wentong fall into self-doubt.

At this time, Zhao Tai bowed deeply to Wang Wentong and said sincerely: "Thank you sir for your teaching and your words, I have learned a lot. Now that my shogunate has just been built, I am in need of a military advisor to oversee the shogunate and assist me."

The official handles military and political affairs. I wonder if you, sir, would be willing to take the position."

Wang Wentong was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Zhao Tai would actually ask him to be a military advisor. He immediately saluted excitedly, "How dare you disobey orders in a humble position!"

Zhao Tai immediately took Wang Wentong's hand and said solemnly: "From now on, my great cause will be rid of sir."

Wang Wentong said: "I have dedicated myself to my humble position and died."

Zhao Tai pulled him to the study, "Go and sit in the study, and I will introduce you to the basic situation of the shogunate."

When the two entered the study, Zhao Tai told Wang Wentong his situation, and at the same time reminded him which people around him were sent by the Song Dynasty to monitor him, and which ones were sent by the Jin Kingdom to keep an eye on him.

After Wang Wentong listened, he was even more impressed by Zhao Tai's layout and his ability to deal with all parties.

After Wang Wentong joined, various affairs in Suining County began to become more orderly.

Zhao Tai handed over the government affairs to Wang Wentai and asked him to manage the government affairs of Suining County, as well as the relief and resettlement of the hungry people.

Zhao Tai focused his energy on the training of the army outside the city.

Now, in addition to the original 3,000 troops in Suining County, Zhao Tai recruited another 2,000 people from nearby people who had taken refuge, giving the loyal army a strength of 5,000.

To form an army into combat effectiveness, training is essential, but Zhao Tai actually doesn't know how to train troops, especially since he doesn't know anything about battle formations, so he can only let the sergeants continue their basic skills.

On this day, Zhao Tai returned to the city from the military camp outside the city, and suddenly found many large vehicles parked in the city. Wang Wentong was with a group of merchants, and he didn't know what to say.

Zhao Tai rode over. When Wang Wentong saw Zhao Tai, he immediately asked the merchants to go about their business, and he greeted him with a smile.

Zhao Tai asked: "Sir, what are you doing?"

Wang Wentong smiled and said: "Reporting to my husband, I met my husband to pay the sergeants. It was expected that the supplies in the city would become scarce and the prices would rise rapidly. I summoned the merchants and told them not to close their doors and keep their business open, and at the same time, I bought some from the Southern Song Dynasty.

Give them a batch of goods to sell! This will not only stabilize prices in the city, maintain material supply, but we can also make a fortune from it!"

Zhao Tai never thought that Wang Wentong would show his economic talents so quickly, and he was worthy of being the one who issued the Central Government banknotes.

Zhao Tai smiled and said: "I pay salaries to the soldiers, and my husband earns back. This forms a virtuous economic cycle, which is good!"

Wang Wentong was accustomed to Zhao Tai coming up with one or two profound new words from time to time, and he could often get a lot of inspiration from these new words, which benefited him a lot.

At this time, the two were talking, and a group of cavalry came galloping towards them.

Seeing the small flags planted behind them, Zhao Tai frowned slightly, "They are messengers!"

That group of cavalry did not recognize Zhao Tai, so they flew past and headed directly to the camp.

When Zhao Tai saw this, he immediately got on his horse and said, "Go back to the camp and have a look!"

Zhao Tai and the messenger cavalry arrived at the camp. As soon as he dismounted, Cheng Hu stepped forward to greet him and took the reins of the horse. "Ms. sir, the messenger troops sent by Marshal Xuzhou have arrived!"

Zhao Tai got off his horse and asked, "Do you know what's going on?"

Cheng Hu said: "It seems to be about Mongolia!"

Zhao Tai frowned. It was only June, the weather was hot, and it was still early for the Yellow River to freeze. What would the Mongols do?

Zhao Tai was a little confused, "Where is the person?"

Cheng Hu said: "Wait in the side hall!"

Zhao Taisui strode in immediately, and after a while, he walked into the side hall. The two envoys stood up quickly. After Cheng Hu introduced them, the first one clasped his fists and saluted, "Xuanfu Xianggong, there is something strange happening in the Mongolian army in Shandong. The general marshal summons you to go to Xuzhou immediately.

Discussion!"

After finishing the last letter, Zhao Tai took it, tore off the wax seal, and opened it to read. The letter stated in detail that in return, there were signs of large-scale mobilization of the Shandong Mongolian army, and it seemed that they were preparing to launch an attack. Wanyan Heda asked

Zhao Tai immediately went to Xuzhou to discuss the military situation.

Zhao Tai put the letter away, pondered for a while, and then ordered: "Ask Zhou Quan to allocate 10,000 yuan, 6,000 shi of grain, recruit civilians, arrange for the escort of men and horses, and follow me to Xuzhou!"

Zhou Quan was the person arranged by Zhao Fan to be with Zhao Tai. After receiving Zhao Tai's order, he asked Zhao Tai for the money and grain usage while asking Zhao Tai for preparations, and immediately arranged for people to load the money and grain into the truck.

Early the next morning, Zhao Tai led five hundred guards, took money and food to Xuzhou, and went straight to Wuxian's camp.

When Zhao Tai arrived in Xuzhou, he borrowed a batch of grain from Wuxian. Now that he had received Song Yuan, he naturally had to return it to Wuxian.

A few days later, Zhao Tai led the convoy to the Wuxian camp on the bank of the Yellow River. When the sentry saw the transport convoy arriving, he immediately flew to report to Wuxian.

Wu Xian originally thought that Pu Inspector Nu Liang had discovered it, but he came to the camp gate and saw that it was Zhao Tai standing in front of the motorcade.

"Brother Guorui, what are you doing?" Wu Xian's face was full of surprise.

"Brother, I'm here to pay you back the grain." Zhao Tai waved his hand with a smile, and Cheng Hu pulled out his dagger and cut the grain bag, revealing white rice and copper coins.

Zhao Tai looked at the shocked Wuxian and said, "Ten thousand gu of money and six thousand dan of food."
