There were nearly 180,000 people from the Song army near Tongguan, including Wu Lin's cavalry of the former guards' cavalry, with more than 10,000 people from the Chang'an. In addition, after the war in Chang'an, a large number of excellent Jin army war horses were captured. Zhao Huan was mostly supplemented to the front line of Tongguan. The Song army system has always had a lot of cavalry organization in the infantry. Cavalry training is usually carried out, and after the horses are available, they can be converted into cavalry. When Chang'an's excellent war horses are sent, if the cavalry in Tongguan is reorganized and merged, it will be more than 20,000.

It is really incredible to use such an advantage to keep the troops alone.

However, Zhao Ding and Wenchen were not decisive, and Qu Duan was famous for his cautiousness. During the time of the Jin army in Wanyan Loushi, Qu Duan had superior troops many times, but he sat down and ignored his friendly troops, so he was unwilling to send troops rashly.

Zhao Huan didn't say much, but asked Qu Duan: "How long does it take to mobilize cavalry now?"

Qu Duan's expression stagnated. Seeing Zhao Huan staring at him, he now knew that the emperor was powerful and his rebelliousness had long disappeared. He immediately replied: "At most half an hour, you can prepare to stop."

"Okay, you'll mobilize the army immediately."

Qu Duan bowed and turned around quickly. Zhao Huan looked at the generals in front of him. Except for the mature Guan Shigu, the other generals were mostly in their early thirties, or even less than thirty years old. It was the time when Nian R&F was surging blood. Hearing that the emperor wanted to mobilize cavalry to chase him, there was no reason for him to be unhappy. When Zhao Huan saw Zhao Huan's eyes swept away, they all wanted to try and wait for the emperor to issue an order.

Zhao Huan ignored it first, and only smiled at Zhao Ding: "Your Highness is in charge of military affairs in Tongguan this time, and the rules are not chaotic, so that the enemy can take advantage of it. I am very pleased. It is not that you are worried about you when you are not at ease with the public, but that I intend to take this opportunity to see if you can recover the capital and tell the people of the world. At this point today, I know that the opportunity is right, so how can you let it go easily."

His calling Zhao Ding a Duke shows that Zhao Ding could be named Duke for this great contribution to Tongguan. He first rewarded him to comfort his heart, so as not to seize the military power of this person in front of the formation, which made the Privy Councilor who came from the royal family dissatisfied.

Zhao Ding knew the emperor's intentions, but he was moved, but he still frowned: "The generals asked for a fight, but I and Qu Duan refused. They were afraid that they would be ambushed by the enemy. If you look back, all your previous efforts will be wasted. Your Majesty made such a decision, but I still thought it was a bit dangerous."

Zhang Jun glanced at Zhao Ding, feeling that this man was indeed more cunning than him. The original slightest struggle between intent was indeed boring. He immediately stood forward and said to Zhao Huan: "What Zhao Ding said is very reasonable. Now the victory has been completed. It is inevitable to conquer Taiyuan in the next spring. If you take a dangerous blow, if you fail, you will lose your morale."

Zhao Huan shook his head first, then laughed, pressed the sword with his left hand, and nodded with his right hand, and said to him:

"You only think that the Jin people show weakness, and pursuing is a risk. In fact, this method of retreating means that they are guilty. You think that the Jin soldiers knew that Tongguan was insurmountable, but they gathered troops here, how much food and rice had they used? They could not attack for a few months, how depressed were the morale and morale of the army? Moreover, the Jin soldiers had tens of thousands of elite soldiers who fled back from the defeat of Hedong, and were mostly trapped in Taiyuan City. Only Han Chang and the remnants of the Han army were not tolerated by the Jurchens, and they fled to Zongbi's tent.

Only 100,000 real soldiers can fight, and the number of the two east and west armies of Jingkang in the second year is less than this. This time, the army was mobilized, and there were not many veterans in front of the Tongguan formation, with only 50,000 or 60,000 people, and the rest of the Khitan Han army would not have combat power. Only in this way, the Jin generals led by their side with their elites, retreated in a hurry to maintain their strength, and wait for the spring to help Hedong. If they don’t use a thunder strike, they will really hurt their vitality. There will definitely be a bloody battle in the battlefield of Hedong in the spring."

Zhao Huan's words were, on the one hand, but mostly when he summoned Yu Yunwen in the palace to analyze the general trend of the world, the two of them analyzed the situation based on the numerous military forces reporting the enemy.

He said it in a confident tone that could not be questioned, but glanced at Yu Yunwen not far away. He saw that he looked as usual, stood with a smile, and turned his head again.

Seeing Zhao Ding, Zhang Jun and others showing contemplative expressions, Zhao Huan said decisively: "I went first with cavalry and rushed to Guozhou to defeat Han Chang, Wang Polong, Qing and Qu Duan, and ordered Zhang Xian's Fengsheng Army to join together and follow him to find an opportunity to fight the enemy."

"this?"

Not only did Zhao Ding and Zhang Jun lose their appearance, but the other Privy Councilors, even Wu Jie and others, also showed surprise.

Zhao Huan was proud of his departure from the capital this time, first of all, to look at civil affairs, and secondly, to suddenly go to the army and lead troops to fight in person. In this way, although the Privy Councillors were in front of him and the enemy situation was like this, they could not be dissuaded, and the prime minister was thousands of miles apart, and there was no way.

It is the time of war today. He does not want to be a literati emperor who cannot control the army without any force, but instead threatens to carry a bow and sword to surround the battlefield.

Today, he acted like this and saw that the morale of the Jin army was low and his war horses were thin after the winter. Although he was still fighting against the enemy in the Central Plains, he had to win and not lose. With nearly 200,000 elite Western troops, even if Cang Huang fought, he would not suffer a great loss from the Jin people, let alone such a good opportunity? Furthermore, even though he and Yu Yunwen discussed the situation of the battle, he also knew that the current situation from Song Dynasty to Jin attack and Song Jin confronted each other, and the Song people fought against the Jin Kingdom, which had just changed from nomadic people to a national system, was to seize all opportunities and use every war to consume the enemy's power.

In this way, how can this opportunity be easily let go!

Seeing that everyone wanted to dissuade him, Zhao Huan said decisively: "No need to persuade him anymore. Now the military situation is urgent. Not only will I personally lead the troops at this time, but I will also attack you in the future!"

The emperor was so brave and resolute that even the famous saying of Yue Fei was borrowed by Zhao Huan in advance. The ministers and generals were all excited and had no words to dissuade him. They immediately decided to lead the cavalry, with Wu Lin, Guan Shigu, Guo Hao and others leading the cavalry and set out first with Zhao Huan. Zhang Jun and Zhao Ding and others, along with Quduan and Wu Jie, led the main infantry force behind and supported the front at any time.

Zhao Huan followed everyone's discussion and he just looked at the Song army formation not far away. The red sun sets westward, and the army of more than 100,000 people was like ants at his feet, letting his decisions act, and when he thought about it, he was really proud.
