The white team marched on the yellow land. From the time when crossing the Yellow River and entering Shaanxi, the pace of the Tiance Army's advancement has not stopped. The "Caotai Privy Council" controlled by Chen Ji, Tong Guan, Liu Yan, Yang Weizhong, Du Chong and others chose Zhao Kai to pacify Shaanxi starting from the Suide Army, passing through Yan'an Prefecture, Bao'an Army, Qingzhou, Yuanzhou, Zhou, Fengxiang Prefecture, and then turned east and heading straight to Jingzhao Prefecture City. While the army swept through the territory of Fuyan Road, Huanqing Road, Qinfeng Road, and Jingyuan Road, Zhao Kai also had to constantly recruit people and constantly divide his troops to occupy the provincial prefecture army that he had no time to cook... Xixia cannot take advantage of the opportunity!

At the same time, Zhao Kai could not ignore the westernmost Xihe Road. More than 10,000 troops led by Liu Qi, Zhang Jun, Tong Guan and Zhe Yanwen (Zhe Keqiu's son) (most of which joined the gang in Shaanxi). When Zhao Kai arrived in Jingzhou, he was divided and went all the way west to take over Xihe Road.

In addition, Zhao Kai also sent Yelu Yuji to Xiazhou City in Xixia to meet Xiao Heda, the commander of Xiazhou. Zhao Kai and Ganshun, who knelt down on the Great Jin Dynasty, had nothing to talk about, but they had a bit of common language with Xiao Heda, the remnant of the Great Liao Dynasty...

Although this route to sweep Shaanxi is a bit chaotic, the effect is better than to directly attack Jingzhao Mansion. It can let the Yingwu family and Yingtian archers on the border of Shaanxi know Zhao Kai's power - hearing is false, seeing is true! It is necessary to let the fighters in the northwest know that this new official in the Song Dynasty will really kill the thief in the face of battle! If they dare not accept it, they can try Tianwei!

In the early autumn sun, the army led by Zhao Kai was moving forward like a flying one, rolling up smoke and dust on the dry loess road. The official road from Fengxiang Mansion to Jingzhao Mansion was built on the bank of the Wei River. I don’t know what era it was left behind? It goes straight forward without turning!

Behind the horse and infantry soldiers, there were also a team of mules, horses and chariots that almost filled the road - the luxurious families who defected to Zhao Kai's martial arts family. This time, they did their best. They not only sent their children to prepare their own horse equipment for concessions, but also provided a lot of food and supplies and civilians who transported these materials to follow the army.

In the fields on one side of the road, many farmers are driving mules and horses or other wounds to plow and turn over the soil. It is early autumn and the winter wheat sowing season is coming. Although the land in Shaanxi is not fertile, agricultural production has not been delayed by Zhao Kai's military use. Compared with the northeast of the Hebei West Road and Jingji Road, where there is a barren scene everywhere.

It seems that the strategy of taking Shaanxi as its home is still very successful!

After two days of marching on the Guanzhong Plain, Zhao Kai's army had passed the Fengxiang Prefecture and Jingzhao Prefecture, and Chang'an, the former capital of the powerful Han and Tang Dynasty, was right in front of him!

......

"The official family sent a minister to welcome the throne from Jingzhao Mansion. The leader claimed to be Zong Ze, who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who sent Cizhou affairs..."

Zhao Kai was sitting in his camp, asking Guo Tiannu to squeeze his shoulders and massage his back. Even though he was a big sweat, his horse's back was good, and he had been fighting with the troops for more than half a year. But the marching was still a hard work for him... Especially when he liked to say that he shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, he would sometimes march with the soldiers for a while. As a result, his waist was sore and his legs were sore, exhausted, and he had to continue to stretch his strength when he arrived at the place, either patrolling the camp or discussing with the generals below, and he would not have to rest for a while!

This emperor on the back of the horse is really not that easy to be a good person!

And where has Zhao Kai been here?

The real desperate battle with the Great Jin Kingdom has not yet begun!

Not to mention going straight to Huanglong, sweeping the grassland, and colonizing the world... I don’t know if I can have a life of happiness?

Fortunately, Zhao Kai had a Guo Tiannu before. This girl has been used to running on horseback since she was a child. Her durability is much stronger than that of Zhao Kai, the big man. She also marched, and she could still serve Zhao Kai when she arrived at a place, and she was full of energy... She could even let her serve her like this!

This is also a benefit for being an emperor?

But it’s just a pity that Guo Tiannu seems to be unable to have children. After sleeping for so long, her belly has not reacted at all.

However, Zhu Fengying, who didn't accompany Zhao Kai, and Pan Cailian, took advantage of the warmth of Zhao Kai's days before he left Taiyuan (Zhao Kai was still filial at that time, and even squeezed out time to work hard for the Zhao family to reproduce. It was so filial). They were already pregnant with dragon seeds... I don't know if they would have a son?

Hearing Dong Jingang's voice, Zhao Kai immediately took back his mind and asked, "Who is here?"

"Zong Ze...... Do you want to spread it?"

"who?"

"Zong Ze...is the former magistrate of Bazhou, now Quan Cizhou serves Zong Ze."

Zhao Kai couldn't sit still now and stood up suddenly. He was about to go out to the camp to pick him up in person, but suddenly he remembered that he was already an official family, and it was a bit of a price to welcome a prefect. Then he ordered: "Jingang, you go and invite Zong Ze in person... Remember, be polite."

Dong Jingang is one of the twelve brothers, and he is also the deputy commander of the Imperial Army. He is the head of Zhao Kai's personal army. He has a large official rank and is now a rampant official Jiayao County. If he is placed in the local area, he will not be "power", but "knowledge" of the 28th classics.

If it were the case that when people valued culture and neglected military affairs, it would be easy to say that Dong Jingang, a military officer, would respect Zong Ze, an old civil servant, but now Zhao Kai does not have the rules of valued culture and neglected military affairs. However, with Zhao Kai's special care, Dong Jingang would still be very respectful to Zong Ze - this vulgar man could become Zhao Kai's big follower, but not only because of Guo Tiannu's promotion, but also because of his more "obedient" personality.

If he is disobedient, Guo Tiannu will not promote him as his assistant.

Dong Jingang left with the order, and soon led a short old man in. His face was big, his facial features were solemn, his beard was gray, and he looked like a virtuous old minister.

The old man also covered his white shirt outside the official uniform of Fang Xin bent collar, and a long-winged black hat of a civil servant on his head. He looked at Zhao Kai who was sitting there and immediately went up to worship him, saying, "Old Zhu Zongze pays homage to the official family."

This is Zong Ze! I have wanted to see you for a long time, but I finally got my wish today!

Zhao Kai said in a deep voice: "Face the body." Then he told a little Huang who was accompanying the army: "Thank you for your hard work in the distance, and give me a seat!"

Zong Ze was not polite, thanked him, and sat down in a big way. After sitting down, he did not forget to look at Zhao Kai secretly.

Because Zong Ze's official career was quite bad, it was the first time I met Zhao Kai. He was very interested in this king who reopened the Song Dynasty - why did such a king come out in the Song Dynasty? How did he teach it?

Zhao Kai was also looking at Zong Ze - this little old man is "Grandpa Zong"!

It’s up to you to regain Kaifeng Prefecture!

Thinking of this, Zhao Kai asked Zong Ze with a smile: "Can the prefect Zong know about the army?"

"A little bit of it."

In front of Zhao Kai, Zong Ze did not dare to say that he "knows the soldiers"... In fact, he didn't know how well he knew the soldiers!

Zhao Kai smiled and said, "Prince Zong, are you afraid of death?"

"Not afraid!" Zong Ze shook his head and stroked his beard, "Old me is over 60 years old this year, and I can be called old and die at any time. Why fear?"

Has the old man lived enough?

"Okay," Zhao Kai nodded with a smile, "Then I want you to be the one who stays in Tokyo to regain Kaifeng Prefecture... Do you dare to go?"

The recovery of Kaifeng Prefecture is of great significance to Zhao Kai!

Although Kaifeng Prefecture is already an empty city, it was once the residence of the emperors of the Song Dynasty for more than 160 years. In the eyes of the world, it still symbolizes the supreme imperial power.

If Zhao Kai could put his flag on the head of Kaifeng Mansion, even if he was just temporarily inserted, he could get a large area of ​​territory without any blood.

And the Zhao Huan, who didn't know where to go, had no appeal in the Central Plains.

But it is not easy to go to Kaifeng Mansion to plant a flag!

If you send troops there, you will be eliminated by the Jin thieves as valuable targets... If the Jin thieves cannot be eliminated, you may still be flooded!

If there are too few soldiers sent...once no one dares to go, but secondly, they may be destroyed.

Therefore, Zhao Kai has always been in a very difficult situation. He wanted Kaifeng Prefecture, but he did not dare to let He Guan and Wang Yuan send troops.

In addition, in Henan Prefecture east of Shaanxi Province, the part south of the Yellow River in Mengzhou, and on the ground of Zhengzhou, there are now Yuwen Xuzhong, who is loyal to Zhao Huan and the troops of Yao Gu.

Zhao Kai did not want to go to war with them, but just wanted to recruit them directly after he recovered Kaifeng Prefecture.

As for Zhao Kai, after thinking about the task of recapturing Kaifeng Prefecture, it seemed that it was more appropriate for Zong Ze to go!

In history, he recaptured Kaifeng Prefecture!

However, Zong Ze was not prepared for such sudden orders at all... He did not know how to lead troops and was not a military general, so why was he sent to recapture Kaifeng Prefecture? And wasn't Kaifeng Prefecture "flooded" by the flood? Is the water "retreated" now?

Zong Ze quickly shook his head: "Official family, Lao Zi is a scholar... not a military general, he can't lead troops!"

Zhao Kai thought to himself: Grandpa Zong, you are too modest... How could you not lead troops? It's just that you don't know you can! But I know!

Thinking of this, Zhao Kai smiled and said, "Zongqing should not be humble. I know that you have the spirit of a general and are not afraid of difficulties. This is enough to achieve your career. I can give you a general's army and give you another general's army, 100,000 stagnant of copper coins, and allow you to recruit troops and horses on your own, recruit subordinates, and garrison farms near Kaifeng Prefecture to raise troops... Are you willing to give it a try?"

The meaning of a try is... If you can succeed, you will be lucky! If you don't succeed, you can still afford it!

Zong Ze did not say anything, his white eyebrows frowned, as if he was thinking hard... Go, or not?

Zhao Kai saw Zong Ze not speaking, so he encouraged him, "Don't worry... It doesn't matter if you don't succeed, just return carefully. However, I estimate that the probability of success is not small, because the Jin thief took over the dam and did not enter Kaifeng Prefecture, so he must have wanted to catch big fish. I sent you to test it. The Jin thief would most likely not take action, but would wait for the opportunity.
