During this expedition to Shandong, Zhao Tai was enslaved by Inspector Pu.

If he hadn't been clever enough to seize the ship from Haizhou and go south, he might have died on the border of Shandong, and there would be no further story.

This made Zhao Tai very angry. He suspected that Pu Chaguannu did it deliberately, and even Heda was involved.

Previously, Zhao Tai hoped that the two sides could maintain a tacit understanding, but now it seems that it is not necessary. In the future, if the Jin Kingdom wants to get aid, it will directly exchange things. He has to let Pu Chaguannu and Heda know that without him, Zhao Tai, they will not be able to

Not even a grain of food could be obtained.

Seeing Zhao Tai's expression, Zhao Fan couldn't help but ask: "Why, did the Jin Kingdom notice it?"

If Zhao Tai's intention was to follow, it would be tantamount to telling the Kingdom of Jin that he was from the Southern Song Dynasty.

Zhao Tai nodded slightly, "I'm just a little suspicious, but I'm sure we're inseparable. This time they attacked Shandong, the Northern Route Army retreated without notifying me. I suspect they wanted to kill people with a borrowed knife and bypass me to ask for help from my husband."

In order not to make things too obvious, the Southern Song Dynasty would also give some assistance to the Jin Kingdom in addition to Zhao Tai's application and the list given by Zhao Tai.

However, the Kingdom of Jin is obviously not satisfied with this and wants to receive all assistance.

Zhao Fan stood up after hearing this and paced back and forth in the tent.

Zhao Tai said with relief: "This is just the suspicion of humble officials, but even if they know it, it doesn't matter if they think it is. They need the help of the Song Dynasty and dare not expose it. They can only continue to pretend to be confused."

Zhao Fan stopped, pondered for a moment, and agreed with Zhao Tai's analysis, "Guorui, what are you going to do?"

Zhao Tai sneered and said: "They are pretending to be confused, and the low-level officials are also pretending to be confused. However, if they want to get assistance in the future, they will have to accept the infiltration of the low-level officials."

Zhao Fan nodded, sat down again, and asked: "The Jin people have murderous intentions towards you. How many troops do you have now?"

Zhao Taidao: "There are currently 6,000 troops in the humble position, but most of them are new soldiers and have little combat power."

"What is the relationship between that Wuxian and you?" Zhao Fan asked.

Zhao Taidao said: "Wuxian is one of the Han warlords in the Jin Kingdom. Beizhi is wooing him, but he is not Beizhi's subordinate."

Zhao Fan pondered for a while after hearing the words, and suddenly shouted out: "Chen Zhong, come in."

The curtain was raised, and as soon as the general came in, he clasped his fists and saluted, "Your Majesty, call me!"

Zhao Fan looked at Zhao Tai and said, "Your strength in the Jin Kingdom is too weak. I will lend you Chen Zhong and give you a group of officers and ordnance to make the Jin people fear your strength. Only then will they resort to war and dare not

Move you."

Quan Zicai also said: "Since you are one of our own, I will also transfer one hundred officers to you from the Huaixi Army."

Zhao Kui saw that both of them expressed their opinions, so he also said: "I, the Yangzhou Army, will also allocate a group of military schools to you, and give you a thousand divine arm bows!"

The Divine Arm Bow was a secret of the Song Dynasty. However, when the Jin army went south and captured many Song Dynasty craftsmen, the Jin Kingdom could also make Divine Arm Bows, but the output was relatively low.

Although the technology of the Divine Arm Bow has long been leaked, the Divine Arm Bow is still an important strategic material and will not be easily given away.

When Zhao Tai heard that he could get the Divine Arm Bow, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed. He quickly clasped his fists and said, "Thank you to the three gentlemen for your humiliation!"

Zhao Fan waved his hand, "Do you have any other requests?"

This time the Song army won a great victory. Not to mention anything else, the tens of thousands of horses captured made Zhao and Fan so happy that they could wake up laughing even in their sleep.

Zhao Tai thought for a while and said, "My lord, after occupying Haizhou, I discovered that there is a large island in Haizhou. There are still 7,000 soldiers and horses on the island that have not been evacuated."

Zhao Fandao: "Do you want me to send a ship to bring back the golden soldiers on the island?"

Zhao Tai shook his head, "I want to keep a troop of troops on the island. I hope my husband will provide supplies and help train the navy."

Zhao Fan smoothed his beard and maintained an army near Haizhou, which could play a certain role in containing Mongolia from going south.

Thinking of this, Zhao Fan nodded, "Okay, I will make arrangements."

~~~~~~

Xuzhou City.

After Pu Chaoguan's slaves withdrew to Xuzhou, Wanyan Heda was not happy about getting rid of Zhao Tai. Instead, he was very worried.

The Jin army made a false shot in Shandong, but because the Mongolian army in Hebei moved south, they hurriedly retreated to Xuzhou.

This made Wanyan Heda a little worried about whether the Song army in the south could withstand the Mongolian attack.

If the Mongols defeated the Song army, leading to the collapse of the main war faction, Shi Miyuan came back to power, and abolished the Song-Jin alliance, then the Jin Kingdom would be passive.

Therefore, Heda has been paying close attention to the situation in Huainan these days and mentally supporting the Song army.

On this day, Heda was standing in front of the map and was lost in thought. Pu Chaguannu hurried into the festival hall and said, "Marshal!"

His shout brought Wanyan Heda back from his thoughts. He looked back and said in a deep voice: "Guan Nu, why are you here?"

Pu Chaguannu asked: "I came here to take a look. I want to know the situation of the fight between the Song Army and the Mongolian Army in Huainan?"

Heda was silent for a moment and shook his head, "I don't know either. I only know that the Song Army and the Mongolian Army are fighting a decisive battle on the other side of Lianshui."

This made Pu Chaguannu a little uneasy, "This duel between Song and Mongolia is not only a matter between the Southern Song Dynasty and Mongolia, but also related to us, Dajin. If the Song army is defeated, the consequences..."

Heda waved his hand, "The Mongolian army went deep alone. Moreover, Wuxian and Zhao Tai are still in Shandong. They probably have many Mongolians at bay. I think the Song army can hold on."

It is true that Pu Chaguan Nu did not notify Zhao Tai when he retreated.

The first is to kill people with a borrowed knife and let the Mongols help the Jin Kingdom kill Zhao Tai. The second is that once the Jin army all withdraws to Xuzhou, the Mongolian reinforcements in Hebei will be able to fully reinforce the Mongolian army in Huainan, leaving Zhao Tai and Wuxian in Shandong.

It can not only get rid of them, but also contain Mongolia. It can be said that it achieves multiple things with one stone.

Seeing what Heda said, Pu Chaguannu could only think in a good direction, and at this thought, he couldn't help but become happy.

"Marshal, you said that if the Song army wins, we send troops to Shandong, which will save the Song army. Then we will apply to the Southern Song Dynasty for money, food and military assistance, and they will be much more relaxed." Pu Inspector Nu said with a smile.

Speaking of this topic, Heda also showed a smile on his face, "That's for sure. The Southern Song Dynasty will definitely allocate another amount of money and food to me."

While the two were talking, they suddenly saw an official from the Marshal's Mansion rushing into the festival hall in a hurry.

When he saw the two of them, he quickly saluted and said: "Marshal! Proclaim the Prime Minister!"

Heda caught a glimpse of a military report in his hand, with an excited look on his face. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "What is the report?"

The officer and general submitted the report, "Report to Marshal, Huainan battle report!"

As soon as these words came out, Heda and Pu Chaguan Nu came forward at the same time. Heda moved faster and took it and looked at it quickly.

"Marshal, how are you?" Pu Inspector's slave couldn't help but ask.

Heda smiled: "Haha, Song Jun won."
