The sudden change made Li Fen a little confused.

Originally, Zhao Tai was going to pay homage to him and recognize him as the leader of the alliance, but the sudden arrival of Yi Lapua immediately interrupted this process.

Zhao Tai saw Li Fen's hesitation, but said solemnly: "Although the commander-in-chief is not a minister of the Jin Dynasty, he is very cold-blooded. If Kaifeng is captured, Mongolia will soon attack Shandong. Since the commander-in-chief is the leader of the Three Qi Dynasties, he should be regarded as the leader of the Three Qi Dynasties.

Think about it and take precautions before it happens. Now that Kaifeng's outer city has been breached, the situation is extremely critical. Please don't hesitate, Commander-in-Chief, and immediately command the troops and horses of the three towns to rescue Kaifeng."

As soon as Zhao Tai finished speaking, Wu Xian stood up and said, "Since Marshal Li is going to be the master of Shandong, then rescuing Kaifeng this time will just show his strength to the three towns."

The corner of Li Fen's mouth twitched. The Mongolian army gathered in Kaifeng. Wouldn't he be forced to die in order to rescue Kaifeng?

Li Fen couldn't help but look at Zhao Tai and Wu Xian, and couldn't help but suspect that they wanted him to die so that they could annex his territory and troops.

For a moment, Li Fen's face darkened and he said in a deep voice: "Kaifeng has been besieged by the Mongolian army for several months. Since the outer city has been destroyed, the inner city may not be able to defend it for long. Although Shandong is close to Kaifeng, it will take time to send troops to rescue.

.In my opinion, it may be too late for rescue now, so we might as well recruit troops and prepare to defend Shandong."

Wuxian immediately objected, "I am a minister of the Jin Kingdom. Now the country is in crisis, how can I not save it?"

Zhao Tai handed over to Li Fen, glanced at everyone in the hall, and said loudly: "Since the commander-in-chief wants to be the commander-in-chief of the three towns, he should consider the interests of the soldiers of the three towns. The two towns of Zhongyi and Wuwei are the army of the Jin Kingdom. The court is in trouble.

Not rescuing him would be disloyal and unjust. How will he stand in the future? Besides, rescuing Kaifeng will help keep the enemy at bay and save the people of Shandong from the suffering of war. Therefore, I thought that the commander-in-chief wanted to conquer the people.

We must send troops!"

Li Fen had just been appointed as the commander-in-chief of the three towns, but now he was immediately put on the fire.

Judging from the two people's intentions, if he wanted to be the commander-in-chief, he would have to lead troops to rescue Kaifeng, so he immediately retreated.

"Woo~" Zhao Taigang spoke, and there was a burst of crying behind him.

Wanyan Chengde cried loudly, "Dajin is in danger, and we will obey whoever saves Kaifeng!"

Li Fen's face turned dark, and Peng Huizu and others stopped talking.

If he wanted to be the commander-in-chief of the three towns, he would have to be forced by Zhao Tai and Wuxian to send troops to rescue Kaifeng.

He is not a fool, and asking him to save Kaifeng would undoubtedly lead to death.

Li Fen was silent for a while, "I am not a minister of the Jin Kingdom, and the land of Shandong needs someone to guard it. If you want to rescue Kaifeng, I will not object, but I cannot leave Shandong."

Li Fen will definitely not go to Kaifeng, nor will he dare to go.

"Hmph!" Wu Xian snorted coldly, "If Marshal Li is not willing to lead us to rescue Kaifeng, then I recommend Guorui to be the commander-in-chief of the three towns and lead the army to break the siege of Kaifeng."

Zhao Tai said in a deep voice: "The gains and losses of Kaifeng are related to the safety of Shandong. No matter from which aspect, we must rescue. If Marshal Li is unwilling to lead the army, I am willing to lead the troops of the three towns to rescue!"

Li Fen listened to the two people's words and made quick calculations in his mind.

Judging from the attitudes of Wuxian and Zhao Tai, they were determined to send troops to rescue.

This point made Li Fen a little confused. Going to Kaifeng would mean death, so why the two of them insisted on sending troops.

Could it be that the two of them were really loyal ministers of the Jin Kingdom? Li Fen obviously didn't believe it.

But since the two of them are going, it's not a bad thing for him.

If Zhao Tai and Wuxian go to Kaifeng, then the people in Shandong will respect him.

By then, the two of them were defeated in Kaifeng. If they died, he would take the opportunity to annex the entire Shandong. If they did not die, and the two of them returned in defeat, they would have no choice but to seek refuge with him.

Although this will reduce the strength of the three towns, if the two towns do not obey his command, they will not be able to exert their strength.

Therefore, letting the two men contain Mongolia, and taking the opportunity to expand his troops, may not be any less powerful than the three towns that appear to be in harmony but are separated from each other.

Thinking of this, Li Fen suddenly said: "It's not that I don't want to lead the army, it's that Shandong has just been recovered and I need to be in charge. Since Brother Guorui is willing to lead the army, I will allocate a batch of money and food for the soldiers."

, the wise brother will command the soldiers and horses of the three towns to rescue Kaifeng."

Zhao Tai listened to Li Fen's words, looked around at everyone, and shouted loudly: "Kaifeng is in danger. As the governor of the Jin Kingdom, how can I sit idly by and ignore it? Since Marshal Li can't escape, I will command the troops of the three towns."

Rescue Kaifeng.”

After listening to Zhao Tai's words, Yilapua couldn't help but be moved to tears, "Guorui, your Majesty did not misjudge you."

While he was talking, he took out a roll of yellow silk from his sleeve, unfolded it and said: "Guorui, take the order!"

Zhao Tai pretended to be surprised, then quickly bowed down and said, "I'm here!"

Seeing this, the generals of Zhongyi and the armed and defensive armies quickly came out and knelt behind Zhao Tai.

Seeing this, Li Fen and others stood aside at a loss.

Immediately Yi Lapua read aloud, "Emperor of the Jin Dynasty, Zhi said: Zhongguo Gong, the Xuanfu envoy of the East and West Road of Shandong, and Zhao Tai, the loyal envoy of the Jiedu Army. He was loyal and devoted to protecting the country. He saved the country from dangers several times and made great achievements.

At the imperial court. Kaifeng is in crisis now, and Sheji

We are in dire straits. Who can save the country and save me? Who else can save my country? I specially sent Pu'a, the privy envoy, to ask for help. I conferred the title of loyal king to your family. I hope that your family can quickly send troops to save the country from danger. I will repay my kindness and live up to my loyalty.

The name of the king has lived up to my expectations, and I appreciate it."

Zhao Tai looked surprised after hearing this. After reading the edict, he slowly closed it, held it in front of Zhao Tai with both hands, and said, "Your Majesty, please accept the edict."

Zhao Tai was unambiguous, "I, Zhao Tai, accept the order! I will definitely send troops to relieve your majesty from the siege and repay the emperor's favor!"

Yila Pu'a said with emotion: "Since Kaifeng was besieged, His Majesty has sent envoys several times to urge the King to send troops, but no soldiers and horses came. Regarding this, many people in Kaifeng City thought that the King could not be trusted and was no longer loyal to the King.

.Today I saw your Majesty urging you to send troops, but they misunderstood your Majesty."

Wuxian came over and said, "The Mongols have gathered in Kaifeng. Your Majesty has been thinking of ways to mobilize the Mongols. But who knows, the Mongols are determined to capture Kaifeng first. They even ignored us when we captured Jinan and attacked Hebei."

"

Zhao Tai said in a deep voice: "I originally wanted to surround Wei and rescue Zhao, but the Mongols saw through my intention. Now Kaifeng is in danger, and I cannot mobilize the Mongolian army on the periphery. In order to rescue Kaifeng, I can only lead my troops directly to rescue Kaifeng."

"Your Majesty is truly a loyal minister!" Yi La Pu'a praised repeatedly.

When Li Fen saw this, he frowned. Everyone was originally a commander, but now Zhao Tai suddenly became a king, and his status was immediately higher than him.

This made Li Fen feel very scared, but thinking of the danger of rescuing Kaifeng, he calmed down, turned and whispered to Peng Huizu: "They are going to die, and I can't stop them even if I want to! If Zhao Tai sends troops to rescue Kaifeng,

You represent me and lead the troops to assist in the battle, but remember not to rush to the front and be careful to conserve your strength!"

Peng Huizu nodded slightly and said in a low voice: "The general understands that the Mongolian army is gathering in Kaifeng, and if you get close, you will die!"
