Qian Song

Chapter 294 Zhao Gou: I have an army of ten thousand!

...

Since the beginning of March, people who are still loyal to the Zhao Song Dynasty have found Zhao Gou's mansion of the Generalissimo of the World Army and Horses, bringing bad news to Zhao Gou and others one after another.

When Zhao Gou learned that the Zhao Huan and Zhao Song dynasties were all abolished by Li Cun, the royal family and clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty in Bianliang City, Tokyo, all the men were captured by Li Cun, and all the women were paid by Li Cun. After entering the harem, she shed tears.

In order to determine whether the news is true, Huang Qianshan quietly issued a recruitment order: If anyone can go to Bianliang City, Tokyo to inquire about the news, there will be a big reward.

There was a small official named "Li Zong" in Nanhua County. After reading the list, he came to apply for the recruitment, saying that he could find out accurate news for Deputy Marshal Huang.

——In order to shrink power, Zhao Gou promoted Wang Boyan to Marshal and Huang Qianshan to Deputy Marshal.

Huang Qianshan was overjoyed, and sent someone to Li Zong's house to send a lot of money that night, and promised to recommend Li Zong to be a high-ranking official after everything was done.

When Li Zong came to Tokyo Bianliang City, Tokyo Bianliang City had been fully opened.

Without much effort, Li Zong found Li Cun's letter of pardon and various inscriptions from Kaifeng Mansion.

——These materials are all publicly printed and sold in Bianliang City, Tokyo.

After getting what he wanted, Li Zong immediately returned to Caozhou, and handed over all the news he had inquired and all the hard evidence he got back to Huang Qianshan.

In fact, these evidences are no longer needed.

As more and more people came to Jeju from Bianliang City in Tokyo, Zhao Gou and the others almost knew what happened in Bianliang City in Tokyo.

The last news that Zhao Gou and the others got now is that Li Cun had secretly sent all the royal family and clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty to the south, and had the honor of passing Zhu Lian, the empress of the Song Dynasty, and named Zhu Lian the concubine of Song Dynasty.

In the eyes of Zong Ze and other radicals, this is an absolute shame and humiliation. They should immediately raise troops to attack Bianliang City in Tokyo, take back their capital of the Song Dynasty, and take revenge by the way.

However, many people headed by Wang Boyan just persuaded Zhao Gou to mourn and change, and advocated a long-term plan.

As for Zhao Gou, on the one hand he was sad, but on the other hand he still didn't give up - he still wanted ironclad evidence.

Of course, many people believed that it was because Zhao Gou was timid, so he found an excuse not to send troops.

It dragged on until the first day of April, when Huang Qianshan finally led Li Zong to Jeju, and presented the irrefutable evidence collected by Li Zong to Zhao Gou.

This time, Zhao Gou no longer had any excuse not to send troops.

At the same time, the letter written by Zhao Zisong, a direct scholar of Huiyou Pavilion and Zhihuaining Prefecture, to Zhao Gou also arrived in Jeju.

Zhao Zisong said in the letter:
"The second sage, the second empress, the second uncle, and all the kings and ministers have been imprisoned by thieves. The danger of the Great Song Dynasty is only a matter of time. I hope that the king will strengthen his army and send troops to attack Gyeonggi to welcome the two palaces. , Re-an Zongshe. Don't hesitate to ask about crimes and treason. Between hesitation, accidents will happen. The survival of the country is here. Who is willing to advance to the west? After the westward advance, how can the Central Plains be regained? It is the best strategy to raise troops from all around to invite attacks, and to defeat the bandits in one battle while their foothold is not stable.

Zisong's state is as dangerous as eggs. If the bandits come, they will die.City guards for half a year, with little effect.Now if the great kings join forces to attack the capital, Zisong will respond with all his strength, and urge Weng Ge to learn from the scriptures to advance together. If the two emperors are not rescued and the bandits are cut off, they will not live together.

King Fuwang took pity on the same surname, and left with exhaustion, leaving little left.If a certain generation has knowledge, the country of the Netherlands will be kind enough, and it will surely work for itself.Gai today's ministers tend to choose profit, if the king does not try to promote the country's prestige, what will happen to the 200-year foundation!
Tell the king to interrogate more, if it is so unstoppable, still begging to issue more suspicious letters, in order to destroy the Khitan Yanyun's heart of thieves, and take more of this Cao for my own use, then turn disaster into blessing.

If you are crazy and arrogant, you will be more than guilty of death.Zisong weeps blood and wails uncontrollably. "

Zhao Zisong is the fifth grandson of Yan Yi Wang Zhao Dezhao, and Zhao Gou is a distant relative of the royal family, so he really cares about the country and society of the Zhao family.

At this time, a very strong political atmosphere was brewing in Jeju City.

Geng Nanzhong, Wang Boyan, Huang Qianshan, Geng Yanxi, Mo Yu, Dong Yun, Gao Shize, Yang Yuan, Wang Qizhi, Qin Baixiang, Liang Yangzu, Huang Qianhou, Yang Weizhong, Zhang Jun, and the generals of all armies lined up to come to the world. The Grand Marshal's Mansion urged Zhao Gou to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

Geng Nanzhong led the crowd to worship Zhao Gou again, and said impassionedly:
"Being a thief is not a way. Invite the two sages to hunt in the south. Heaven has not tired of the Song Dynasty, and there will be a master. The master of the Song Dynasty, who is not the king? The king is smart and brave. , the hearts of the people really return. Responding to the heaven and the people, it is appropriate to meet the opportunity. The destiny cannot be stagnated for a long time, the hearts of the people cannot be violated by force, and the opportunities cannot be temporarily ignored. May the king be the emperor to rule the world. The meaning of the two sages looking north. Then, order the world to return to the Ge and destroy the Qiang, so as to welcome the two sages back and become the master of the revival of the Great Song Dynasty. The world is very lucky!"

To be honest, Zhao Gou's mood is extremely complicated now.

On the one hand, Zhao Gou, who has longed to be famous since he was a child, is very excited that he can become the emperor!Zhao Gou felt that he had fulfilled his mother Webster's long-cherished expectation.

But on the other hand, Wei Shi, the mother who had been dependent on Zhao Gou since he was a child, is also in the Longtan and Tiger Den, and his virtuous wife and concubine and his five daughters (no, there is another one in Xing Bingyi’s womb) are also in the Longtan and Tiger Den. Ascend to the throne and proclaim the emperor, they must be in danger.

In addition, Zhao Gou really doesn't know whether he can turn the tide?After all, Li Cun wiped out the Daliao Empire and the Zhao Song Dynasty in succession without a defeat in his life. Although he had a lot of soldiers and horses, he was a group of mobs who had been defeated countless times by the Gan army.

What's more, if Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan come back in the future, even if it's just Zhao Chen, if he ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, he will definitely have a hard time talking about it.

With so many problems here, Zhao Gou really doesn't know whether he should be the emperor or not?

Seeing Zhao Gou's hesitation, Geng Nanzhong fell to the ground and wept bitterly. Then he led the crowd to worship again and said:

"The two sages Nanshou, there is no master in the Song Dynasty, and the hearts of the people are panic. The king didn't take the picture early, and regretted it later. May the king take the ancestral temple and the country as his heart, quickly inherit the great rule, first uphold the honor, and then propose to welcome, and the life will prolong. Looking around the neck, may the king be happy to hear, and bow down to the crowd. Chen Nanzhong led the ministers to say something, bow down and worship!"

The generals and soldiers of the Song army who had gathered outside the Generalissimo's Mansion also shouted loudly: "Long live! Long live!"

The voice of support was so loud and earth-shattering that Zhao Gou couldn't help but feel a little bit moved!

At this time, the seals supporting Zhao Gou's ascension to the throne and proclaiming emperor from all over the country also arrived. Geng Nanzhong took this opportunity to persuade Zhao Gou:

"Second Sage Nanshou, Your Majesty wants to fight to the death with gangsters, and welcomes Luan Yu. This Majesty's filial piety is enough to show the false gods. How can it be unfavorable? The world is very lucky. However, the treacherous hero looks down, and things have not come to an end. I hope you don't need it, let's go first This side is a big deal, and then go back to Ge Jingshi. If the name is not correct, the words will not go well. If the king had planned it earlier, the gangsters would definitely break it."

Huang Qianshan also persuaded: "May the king urge all the top men and horses to meet under the capital. Zhang's army is powerful, and he is afraid of himself. He will return to the throne. The gangsters don't know that Song De is already deep in the people, and the gentry, the army and the people are also Not for envoys. Your Majesty doesn’t bother beating the drums, but you only need to spread the message to the soldiers and civilians in the capital, calling for Xu’s rebellion. So Your Majesty conscripted Qiang, and issued a seal to welcome and return the two sages. It seems that it is not too late. There is no room for speculation. I hope that Your Majesty will plan it as soon as possible. .”

Yang Weizhong expressed his position on behalf of the military: "Conquest is a matter of generals. I hope that the king will be the emperor. When he sees the emperor, Wei Zhong will anoint Kusano with his body and report to the king."

At this moment, the hard detective Zheng An suddenly came back and reported: "Report to the king, Wang Lun, the envoy of the traitor, came to send the letter to the king, and brought the master's imperial pen."

Everyone knew the purpose of Li Cun's sending envoys, which was nothing more than surrender, threats, and warnings.

The person in charge persuaded Zhao Gou not to see Wang Lun and his party, but to send someone to kill Wang Lun directly.

However, the people in charge of harmony persuaded Zhao Gou to see Wang Lun, so what's the problem?

In the end, Zhao Gou adopted the opinions of Wang Boyan and other peacemakers, and sent Geng Nanzhong's son Geng Yanxi as the accompanying envoy to welcome Wang Lun and his party.

Back then, when Zhao Huan sent Zhao Gou to find Li Cun to discuss peace.

Zhao Gou asked to send Geng Yanxi, a civil servant, and Gao Shize, a military minister, to accompany him as counselors.

Zhao Huan will play.

But Zhao Huan considered that Geng Yanxi was the only son of his closest minister, Geng Nanzhong, so he asked Geng Nanzhong for his opinion.

Zhao Huan said to Geng Nanzhong: "King Kang asked Qing's son to be an official, and he left without saying goodbye. I appreciate it."

Geng Nanzhong replied: "I only have this son. When the country is in trouble, how dare you resign?" As he spoke, tears flowed down unconsciously.

Seeing this, Zhao Huan softened his heart for a moment, and gave Geng Nanzhong a chance: "How about Xuan Lai Zou?"

——If Geng Nanzhong agreed at that time, Zhao Huan would have kept Geng Yanxi in Bianliang City, Tokyo to prevent Geng Yanxi from taking risks to negotiate a peace.

But Geng Nanzhong was still responsible at that time, and he declined bluntly: "King Kang is gone, but the ministers declare alone, there is no reason for that."

Seeing this, Zhao Huan was very pleased, so after Geng Nanzhong withdrew from the inner palace, Zhao Huan still sent a servant to give Geng Nanzhong a copy of the royal pen: Geng Yanxi quickly announced the return.

However, Geng Nanzhong looked at the imperial pen and pondered for a while, then turned around and went back to the inner hall, and said to Zhao Huan: "King Kang is an envoy for the country, and the minister is unworthy, so he has to be at the mercy of the envoy. Fortunately, if he returns alone, what will the minister look like? "

Zhao Huan was very moved, so he revoked the imperial pen, and at the same time issued an order to appoint Geng Yanxi as a direct bachelor of Longtu Pavilion, and gave Geng Yanxi a lot of treasures, so that Geng Yanxi could leave with Zhao Gou.

Only in this way can Geng Yanxi become the first person to follow Zhao Gou.

And because of this incident, the two most trusted people of Zhao Gou at this time are Geng Nanzhong, Geng Yanxi and his son.

At this time, Zhao Gou sent Geng Yanxi to serve as the accompanying envoy, which shows that he had no idea about surrendering, otherwise he could have killed Wang Lun directly to show his determination to never share the sky with Li Cun.

Soon, Wang Lun and his party were taken to the embassy in Jeju by Geng Yanxi.

Judging from the reception specifications along the way, Zhao Gou attached great importance to Wang Lun's visit.

Wang Lun deeply realized this point, and then let go of his worry.

When Wang Lun and the others were ready to move in, Geng Yanxi couldn't wait to say to Wang Lun: "Ambassador Wang, my king would like to borrow the imperial brush brought by you, can you?"

Without raising his eyelids, Wang Lun said, "My Emperor ordered me to hand over the imperial pen to Marshal Kang after I met him. I dare not show it to others first."

Geng Yanxi showed Zhao Gou's badge of the Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses, indicating that he was sent by Zhao Gou, and pleaded repeatedly, and Wang Luncai handed over Li Cun's imperial pen and the family letters of Webster, Xing Bingyi, Tian Chunluo and Jiang Zuimei to Geng Yanxi.

Geng Yanxi didn't dare to open it, but immediately took Li Cun's imperial pen, Webster's family letters and other women's letters to Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou was not in a hurry to read the family letter, but first opened Li Cun's imperial pen, but there was only one sentence on it: "I only give you this one chance.", and then there was nothing else.

Zhao Gou frowned!

Zhao Gou opened the family letters of Wei Shi and other women.

Although Wei Shi and the girls have tried their best to rhetoric, Zhao Gou still clearly understands that if he does not lead the crowd to surrender, not only will he be cuckolded immediately, but he will also have a new father soon. Not only can he be reunited with his family immediately, but he can also get a high official and a generous salary, so that he will have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime.

It can be said that what Li Cun didn't say was all said by Wei Shi and other women.

Zhao Gou's face turned livid, he slapped the armrest of the grand master's chair hard, and said sharply: "It's too much to bully!"

Zhao Gou wanted to kill Wang Lun and sacrifice the flag immediately, but he was worried!

After thinking for a long time, Zhao Gou whispered a few words in Geng Yanxi's ear.

Afterwards, Geng Yanxi ran to find Wang Lun again and said, "Ambassador Wang, the imperial pen is full of wild and rebellious words, how dare you submit them? Give it back to you."

Hearing this, Wang Lun smiled, and said: "You don't wait to judge the time and people. At this time of life and death, you still care about these little things? Today, I have already occupied nine of the world. How can you wait for the corner to resist the enemy? , if you are really smart, you should not support Zhao Song again, but go to the capital to plead guilty together, when you are here, there are high-ranking officials and generous salary, otherwise you will die with Zhao Song."

Geng Yanxi said with a serious expression: "The country of great etiquette, disregarding the friendly covenant, took the lead in raising troops to attack. It is famous for sending troops. I don't know why your family is here?"

Wang Lun's complexion changed, and he replied solemnly: "My emperor personally led an army to attack the Song Dynasty. How can you not know the reason? Last year, when the covenant was just established, your family turned around and tore it up, and sent troops to fight. This is very important. What is unknown? Now that the victory and defeat of the two families have been divided, you must not be stubborn, otherwise the disaster will not be small. Otherwise, you will cut off my head and the two families will fight again. But for the sake of the two families , I have to say, if your family loses again, it will only be in the blink of an eye, and you will be killed by misfortune, you will kill yourself!"

Geng Yanxi was left speechless by Wang Lun's words, so he retreated and went to discuss countermeasures with Zhao Gou.

Although Zhao Gou tried his best to block the news, the reason and the whole story of Wang Lun's visit to Zhao Gou were quickly spread in the mansion of the Generalissimo.

Regarding Li Cun's surrender, some people think that the strength of the two sides is very different, and they can consider surrendering; The dynasty fought to the death.

Those who surrender and fight are arguing endlessly and will not give in.

In addition, there are rumors that Zhao Gou may be threatened by Li Cun and wants to surrender to the Daqian Dynasty, and his refusal to kill Wang Lun is the evidence.

Geng Nanzhong saw that there was a sign of a split in the Generalissimo's Mansion, so he hurriedly said to Zhao Gou, "If your Majesty can't decide early, your efforts for several months will be ruined, and there is no hope for the Zhao family to restore the country."

Hearing what Geng Nanzhong said, Zhao Gou realized the seriousness of the matter!
But at this moment, Zhao Gou received good news that Zhao Ye, Fan Ne, Wang Xiang and others and the 10,000+ army under their jurisdiction were willing to obey the command of the Generalissimo's Mansion.

Zhao Gou was very puzzled by this!
He didn't understand why Zhao Ye, Fan Ne, and Wang Xiang, who had been defending themselves with soldiers, suddenly changed their minds?

Soon, the mystery was revealed.

It turned out that Fan Zhixu led 20 western troops to approach Luoyang, the capital of Xijing.

Moreover, Fan Zhixu wrote a letter to Zhao Ye, Fan Ne, and Wang Xiang, blaming them for not defending against the enemy, not being diligent in the king's rescue, and focusing on supporting soldiers to defend themselves, which led to the current state of the Zhao Song Dynasty. Corrected in time and made meritorious service to atone for his crimes, he personally raised the army to question them on behalf of the court.

Although Zhao Ye, Fan Ne, and Wang Xiang's soldiers and horses are not much less than Fan Zhixu's, Zhao Ye, Fan Ne, and Wang Xiang's troops are all defeated like frightened birds, and because their commanders did not dare to The heart of war, the soldiers and horses in their hands are also invested against the wind and waves, how can they compare with the elite Western Army in Fan Zhixu's hands?

Therefore, Zhao Ye, Fan Ne, and Wang Xiang were immediately intimidated by Fan Zhixu.

The point is, after the "20" Western Army came, they would have at least 60 to [-] troops on their side, which can be called a million troops to the outside world.

Li has a maximum of 20 people in the Gyeonggi area.

In this way, the Zhao Song Dynasty seems to have the strength to fight to the death with the Dagan Dynasty.

Only then did Zhao Ye, Fan Ne, and Wang Xiang want to fulfill the duties entrusted to them by Zhao Huan.

Zhao Gou was very assertive. He felt that it was not the time for him to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. After all, he had not made any achievements, and most people would not accept him as the new emperor.

Once Zhao Gou was able to defeat Li Cun, even if it was only a small defeat, the situation would be completely different.

At that time, Zhao Gou will be able to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. Even if Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan, and Zhao Chen return one day, they will not be able to shake his throne.

After thinking about it, Zhao Gou still refused to be the emperor. He gathered the shogunate staff and generals of the Grand Marshal's Mansion together, covered his face and said:
"The mad thieves trapped my capital, imprisoned my second emperor and the princes and princes, occupied my capital, humiliated my queen, the royal family and the daughter of the Zong family. If you don't kill her, you will be a son of man! Now 20 Western troops have arrived. Fan Xuan Fu, Wang Zizheng, and Zhao Zizheng are also willing to come under my command, and Zhao Zhifu is also willing to persuade Wengge to learn for me. At that time, our Great Song Dynasty gathered a million troops here, who can fight against it?
It is necessary to rush down to the prefectures and counties of Henan and Hebei, respond to the soldiers of the officials and the people, and the local tyrants and militiamen of the top villages in Hebei, and forcefully attack the capital.And rushed to call on Fan Zhixu, Huang Qianshan, Zongze, Fan Na, Zhao Ye, Wang Xiang, Weng Yanguo, Xiang Ziqi, Zhao Zisong to urge the leaders of the prefectures and counties in Henan and Hebei, and the leaders of the righteous men in the villages and water villages in Henan and Hebei. According to Ying, the army should be assembled, equipped with equipment and food, and should be in charge of the command, preparing for a decisive battle with the gangsters..."
