The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Thirty miles southwest of Jiangning City, under a series of hills, there is a huge cemetery.

There are tens of thousands of new tombs standing here, and there are tombstones in front of all the tombs, some of which are written with names and taboos, and some of which are only written with the words of a certain clan.

This is the tomb that Zhao Tun built for the dead nobles, as well as those guards and servants, all buried in coffins and buried in peace.

After death, don't worry about it while alive, you should enjoy peace.

Tens of thousands of coffins, as well as shrouds and tombstones, and the broken corpses required the labor of thousands of seamstresses, tens of thousands of Taoist monks, and tens of thousands of laborers to haul and bury them.

This is an extremely huge project, costing countless money and food.

Zhao Tang couldn't afford this money, nor could the Jiangning government. No one on Jiangnan East Road, which was trampled by Fang La's army at the moment, could afford it. The cost was too much.

But how can these gentry gentlemen be exposed to the wilderness?This is absolutely impossible, so Zhao Tun had no choice but to open the mansions of the gentry in the northern city and the eastern city, and each family brought some money out.

No one can say anything about burying their own family with their own money, even those family members of the gentry who are officials in the court.

You can't let the family members break the seats and still go to the mass grave, right?No one can bear the reputation of being unfilial, and even that kind of behavior will be punished.

They also had to be grateful to Zhao Tun, after all, it was a time of war, and they could be said to be kind to bury their clansman in a decent manner.

Human life is as cheap as grass in wartime, so what about the gentry?
However, the inner treasury was burnt to splendor ashes, and the Tianjie was trampled to the bone!
In times of war, how can there be any status at all?Once the building collapses, it will be full of ants.

Not to mention burial, wouldn't it be normal to have no bones left?

By doing this, Zhao Tong maintained the most important face of the Jiangnan gentry. As for these people who died in Jiangning, that was another matter. Fang La's bandit army entered the city, and it was lucky that they didn't slaughter the entire city.

This matter has nothing to do with him, Zhao Tun!He has made great achievements in killing thieves and defending the city!

Whether the noble officials will move the tomb or continue to stay here is not up to him. He has already done everything that needs to be done.

No one knew how much money Zhao Tong took from the gentry's homes in the north and east cities for this matter. The matter was carried out at night. The ninth and tenth commanders of the Dragon Guards guarded the whole process and did not allow any idlers to approach.

None of the officials dared to speak, nor could they say anything. After all, there were tens of thousands of corpses waiting to be buried. No one dared to take such a big taboo and do such stupid things. It would not only delay the burial of the dead, but also damage the reputation of the living.

What's more, there are still many boxes left in the mansion of the gentry, and not all of them have been removed. Judging from the number of boxes, most of them should be left behind.

More than a month has passed since the war, and the weather is getting hotter. Just after noon that day, a car team came to the cemetery. There were about two to three thousand people.

Zhao Tang got out of the car first, and then a girl in snow-white plain clothes got out of the car. The girl was beautiful, and her expression was extremely sad.

A group of people came to a large tomb, and when the girl saw the name of the tombstone, she walked away and fell to her knees in front of the tomb, crying bitterly.

Zhao Tong looked at her behind her back with her hands behind her back, the girl was Zhu Xiuniang, since that day when Zhao Tong left, she seemed to have forgotten the previous life and death, but ate and slept on time, and stopped beating things.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Tun did not agree, but only said that she was weak and must continue to be taken care of. After a few days, she sent someone to find Zhao Tun again, and Zhao Tun agreed to bring her here.

Zhu Xiuniang fell to the ground and wept bitterly, while someone beside her put out offerings, dozens of them, and lit incense candles made of ingots and various kinds of paper objects, which was extremely grand for a while.

Zhu Xiuniang looked at the blaze, and everything from childhood to adulthood flashed through her mind, and now everything, as if burned by the fire, was turned into smoke and dust. She has no relatives in the world, except for a clan brother. She is alone in the world, and she will be so lonely, helpless, and her life for more than ten years is like a dream in Nanke.

Zhao Tong stood behind her, and said calmly: "Xiuniang, don't be too sad. Although I wish the grandpa to suffer, but there is still this king here, and this king will avenge them and take care of you, Xiuniang!"

It was fine if he didn't say this, but when he said this, Zhu Xiuniang cried even worse, and after looking back at him, she even burst into tears, and finally lost her strength, and collapsed on the ground choked with sobs.

Zhao Tang asked someone to help her back into the car, and then remained silent in front of the grave for a long while, until the sky was overcast and it seemed that a storm was coming, then he turned and left expressionlessly.

A few days later, military reports from Suzhou came from time to time. The Western Army led by Tong Guan and Fang La had confronted each other more than a dozen times.

Tong Guan personally wrote a letter to Zhao Tun, and sent one of his godsons to send it quickly. The letter was asking Zhao Tun to send troops to help.

The letter also clearly stated that it was not that the Western Army could not defeat Fang La's bandit army, but that Fang La had too many troops. When he went all the way from Hangzhou to Suzhou, there were already 40 million people, while the Western Army only had 15, and there was no replenishment.

Tong Guan told Zhao Tun in the letter that instead of going directly to Suzhou, he only needs to lead troops south to recover Hangzhou, Huzhou and other places, and cut off Fang La's escape route. In this way, Fang La will be flustered and unwilling to fight, and the battle in Suzhou will be broken.

The relationship between Zhao Tun and Tong Guan is not bad, he has no party in the court, and the court is basically the Three Kings' Party, even if Liang Shi is the head of the prince's line, there are actually not many people, and Tong Guan belongs to neither.

Zhao Tong knew what Tong Guan was thinking. This man was proud when he was young, but now he is old, but he has made great achievements in power and military affairs, and his pride has not diminished in the slightest. Cai Jing despised him and prevented him from being named Kaifuyi and the third division that day. The two had a bad relationship, but Cai Jing didn't know what Tong Guan really wanted.

This Tong Daoist wants to be crowned king!

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, there has never been a king with a different surname, but Shenzong's legacy, the king who returns to Yanyun!

This is a legacy, not a legacy called by later generations. The imperial edict system of the Northern Song Dynasty is not included in the "Song History", only recorded in the "Song Dazhao Collection".

However, in the "Song Dazhao Collection", the full text of Shenzong's edict does not contain such words as "the king who restores Yanyun".

However, Song Shili said that Shenzong's edict had been mentioned, and that Tong Guan was indeed crowned king in the end, which is to confuse the edict and the edict.

However, there is not much difference. After all, the Taoist emperor of this dynasty is the son of Shenzong. If someone can regain Yanyun, he will definitely do it!

Tong Guan is proud by nature. The first sentence in "Song Shi Tong Guan Biography" is, "Don't go out of Li Xian's door".

Who is Li Xian?He is the creator of Zhuanrizhen martial arts, and the leader of Shoufu Xihe River. Together with Wang Shao, he regained the Huangshui River of Xihe River, which is of great strategic significance. He has supervised the army in the northwest for many years, whether it is expanding the border or defending the city.

In the fourth year of Yuanfeng, Shenzong launched a 30-strong army to attack Xia on five routes, and even directly took Li Xian as the marshal.

Leading Zhong Er, Wang Zhongzheng, Liu Changzuo, Gao Zunyu, Yao Lin and other generals, this was considered the most gorgeous lineup at the time. After all, this could be said to be Shenzong's full blow.

Li Xian's ability to become the marshal of such an expeditionary force shows his ability to lead troops and command strength.

And Tong Guan is Li Xian's godson, almost walking in Li Xian's footsteps step by step.

Tong Guan and Wang Hou are reunited with Hehuang. He is the godson of Li Xian, and Wang Hou is the second son of Wang Shao. How similar is the lineup to the first reunion many years ago?

One hundred thousand broke the Qiang to take Qingtang, fought all the way to the Uighur border, and opened up Longyou Duhufu, which is comparable to two-thirds of Xixia's land.

Tong Guan's famous disobedience to the Tibetan edict and Xia Qingtang came out at this time.

He fought for most of his life, from west to north, from north to south, with his temperament, how could he be willing to fall behind?Not even if you are your own godfather!He wants to escape Li Xian's influence, but how can he escape?
Unless Yan Yun is recovered, he will be crowned king!
He has been doing this all the time. When he went to Liao Kingdom, he passed through Lugou, and saw that Ma Zhi had recommended a strategy to destroy Liao, and had a wonderful conversation, so he recommended it to the court, and Ma Zhi presented the notorious maritime alliance strategy!

It's a pity that the result was a great defeat in the Liao Dynasty. He spent money to buy Yanyun and was barely crowned king.

Zhao Tong held Tong Guan's letter, read it over and over several times, and suddenly said to Tong Shimin who delivered the letter: "Zhu Xi is still in Suzhou?"

This Tong Shimin was familiar with Zhao Tun, and when he was in Tokyo, he passed them on both sides, and said: "Your Highness, this person has not left, and has been sitting in Suzhou."

Zhao Tun frowned. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. This Zhu Mian is not a loyal, filial, and righteous person. In the name of serving the Bureau, he monopolizes the power in the southeast, and the common people are heavy and hard labor, stirring up the smoky atmosphere in the south of the Yangtze River. Most of these people are greedy for life and afraid of death. Knowing that Fang La will definitely catch him, why didn't he escape from Suzhou?

It was inconvenient for him to ask Tong Shimin about this, but after thinking about it, he just asked about the military situation and so on. Both sides were damaged in battle, so he asked Tong Shimin to go back to deliver a letter, saying that he will go south today, and once he regains Hangzhou, he will copy Fang La from the rear, so that Tong Guan can fight steadily there, and don't need to be greedy for success.

Tong Shimin got the message and left. After Zhao Tun practiced for a few days, he felt that it was almost time, so he decided to send troops to Xuanzhou and Guangde the next day, and then go south to retake Hangzhou.

In the evening, he came to the guest room behind the Fusi, and Ding Daxie was still guarding the door. When he walked in, he saw that Zhu Xiuniang looked good and was reading, but she was reading the three points that she said she had never read before.

This Sanfen compiled by Huo Sijiu is not a single booklet, but a set of dozens of books, all of which are novels adapted from the more attractive paragraphs in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which are vivid, interesting and fascinating.

At the moment, Zhu Xiuniang is reading one of the first few volumes, which is called Diao Chan Worshiping the Moon.

Although Zhao Tong has never read this book, he heard it from Huo Sijiu himself at the Dingjia Su Tea Shop. This passage is about Diao Chan's worship to the moon and making a wish, Wang Yun's plan to divorce, and Lu Buhuo's merger with Dong Zhuo.

After Zhao Tun came in, Zhu Xiuniang didn't look at him, didn't get up, just read the book.

Zhao Tong said, "Looks good?"

Zhu Xiuniang said: "The right is for entertainment."

Zhao Tong signaled the maidservant to go out, and then went to get a copy to read. It is said that there are many differences between San Fen and the famous book of later generations. In fact, after San Fen was said and before the famous book came out, there was a Three Kingdoms novel called Three Kingdoms.

Zhao Tun flipped through it for a while, then suddenly said: "Xiu Niang, rest now."

Zhu Xiuniang was shocked when she heard the words, and the booklet in her hand almost fell to the ground: "Zhao Tun, what are you doing?"

Zhao Tong smiled: "It's getting late outside, I said it's time to rest."

Zhu Xiuniang stood up in a panic, stepped back, blocked herself with a storybook, and said, "I don't want it, I need to read a little more."

Zhao Tang walked over, picked her up by the waist, put her down on the side of the couch, and then began to draw down the silver hook curtain...

In the middle of the night, Zhao Tun got up, turned around after he settled down and said, "Tomorrow when the army goes south, Xiuniang doesn't have to stay in Jiangning, she can go out with the king."

After he finished speaking, he went out to leave, and a low voice came from inside the curtain: "Beasts, beasts are not as good as..."

On the morning of the second day, Zhao Tong ordered 2 troops and went straight out of Jiangning. Of the [-] troops, more than [-] were local forbidden troops in Jiangning.

The army headed south to Xuanzhou first. Xuanzhou has mountains and lakes, and the scenery is excellent, but there is no natural danger or reliability around Xuanzhou City. Before that, Zhao Tuo frequently sent scouts to investigate, and he knew that Fang Qifo's [-] defeated troops did not stay here at all. At this moment, there are only three to five thousand soldiers barely guarding here.

But Xuanzhou city is actually not small, and later this place was promoted from a state to a mansion, so how could it be defended by three to five thousand soldiers?

It took only one day for Zhao Tun to lead his troops to recover Xuanzhou, and then rested in the city for two days, waiting for the original Xuanzhou Zhizhou to lead troops from Taiping Prefecture to take control of the city again.

Then Zhao Tadong went to the Guangde army, here too fell into the hands of bandits, the situation was not too different from Xuanzhou, the same thousands of soldiers were captured in one day, and then went to the city to continue to rest.

At this time, he still didn't find the shadow of Fang Qifo's defeated army. Zhao Tuo had already judged that Fang Qifo's defeated army should be either in Huzhou or in Hangzhou.

Originally, after defeating the Guangde army, he wanted to go directly south to recover the important city of Hangzhou, but at the moment he felt that something was wrong. After all, Huzhou is also a big city, and it is above Hangzhou.

Therefore, he set out from the Guangde army, and then went east to attack Huzhou first. There were indeed some defeated troops in Huzhou, about 2 people, but they were like frightened birds, and they were not willing to defend the city.

After resting in Huzhou for more than ten days, Zhao Tun directly sent his troops south to Hangzhou.
