The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 426
The Kingdom of Jin borders the Kingdom of Liao, and the Kingdom of Liao borders the Kingdom of Song. If the Kingdom of Jin and the Kingdom of Song want to connect by land, they must pass through the Kingdom of Liao.Now that Liao and Jin are at war, it is impossible to go by land, so they have to go from the Bohai Sea, and then go to Koryo.

Since Goryeo has always been a neutral country, when Liao and Jin went to war, Goryeo was a small border country and did not participate in it.As for whoever wins, it depends on whoever wins. This is the most common phenomenon.In addition, the diplomatic relations between Goryeo and Song Dynasty have been continuous, so they entered the territory of Jin from Goryeo.

This mission to the Kingdom of Jin is of great importance and great danger.If it arrives safely, it's okay, but if the Liao Kingdom sends troops to intercept it from the sea, it will be dangerous, and there may be no return.Zhao Gou's route was known only to those in the negotiating team, and nobody else knew.

Because Zhao Gou was worried that someone in the DPRK would secretly collude with the Liao Kingdom. If he really communicated with the country, he and others would be in danger.

For the sake of safety, Zhao Gou didn't bring many people with him, only Zhao Yougong and Gao Chong set off from Bianjing and went directly to Dengzhou, Shandong.Since they departed from the Bohai Sea, all the ships were built under the supervision of local officials, and Lu Junyi, Yue Fei and others were dispatched from the four directions, and even the Ruan brothers and Zhang Shun also returned.

Because the Ruan Brothers and Zhang Shun are already good at water, bringing them along is like adding wings to a tiger, in case there is a water battle.In addition, Zhao Gou arranged for more than a hundred people to travel together, including sailors and others. All of them changed their appearance, put on the clothes of merchants, and went to sea on the pretext of selling cloth.

If they travel in an open and aboveboard manner, it may be a big tree attracting the wind, which is very unfavorable to Zhao Gou and others.Zhao Gou is the second son, Zhao Yougong is the eldest son, and the others are guards and sailors.Everyone dressed up as businessmen and went to the Kingdom of Jin to deceive others.

Zhao Gou, Zhao Yougong, and Gao Chong set off from Bianjing. They rushed to Dengzhou non-stop along the way, met Lu Junyi, Yue Fei and others; then they set off together again, and met Zhang Shun and the Ruan brothers in Laizhou , More than a dozen people went to the cargo ship together to become officials and businessmen.

Zhao Gou felt that it was inappropriate to go to sea under the guise of government and businessmen, and arranged dozens of people, all of whom were first-class masters.Because these people are not only strong in personal martial arts, but also have self-control. They have experienced some things, and they will not have stage fright. They are all good players with one against ten.

Although there are more than a hundred people on this ship, its combat effectiveness is not weaker than that of the Thousand Pioneer Battalion.Whether it is a team battle or an individual ability, it is enough to have the ability to protect itself.These are also prepared by Zhao Si in advance. Nothing major will happen in the court for the time being.

It can be said that Amber Villa has the most influence.This is also the first time that Zhao Gou met with most people. Zhao Yougong introduced them one by one, and Zhao Gou greeted them one by one.All the names of the people are replaced by code names, and it is saved to remember one by one.

Now that everyone has arrived, Zhao Gou directly sailed out to sea without waiting for anything.In addition, if you want to dress up as an official and businessman, you need some goods, all of which are placed in the cargo hold, including cloth, tea, porcelain, etc., and some weapons.

"Brothers, how are you doing?" Everyone gathered in the cabin, Zhao Gou looked at them excitedly, they hadn't seen each other for more than a year, and seeing everyone's appearance again, he really wanted to have a good drink with everyone Fan.

But it was not the right time at this moment, so Zhao Gou could only replace wine with tea and respect each other.If he really drank, he might be so drunk that he would pass out, and if something really happened, it wouldn't be fun.Because this is at sea, even in the Bohai Sea there are still dangers.

"Everything is fine!" Lu Junyi, Yue Fei and others replied in unison.

Lu Junyi asked: "Brother, who are these two?"

"This is the King of Chu and my elder brother; as for this is my master's only son, his surname is Gao Mingchong!" Zhao Gou introduced with a smile.

Everyone saluted Zhao Yougong slightly, they felt that Zhao Yougong had a quack aura, not like a prince, but like a man in the quack.Besides, Zhao Yougong and everyone had never met each other, so they didn't know each other.After Zhao Gou's introduction, everyone was very respectful.

As for Gao Chong, this made Lu Junyi, Yue Fei and others puzzled.Because they came from the same family as Master Zhao Gou, if the master's only son, Yue Fei and others don't know each other, Lu Junyi must know him.However, Lu Junyi looked up and down, looked left and right, and still didn't know each other. It wasn't until Zhao Gou explained it that everyone suddenly realized.

Gao Chong kept a cold face and kept silent. Everyone didn't know what he was thinking, but Zhao Gou didn't say much, because this was Gao Chong.

"Since Brother Gao is the only son of His Highness's master, he must be good at martial arts, how about we compete to learn from each other!" Niu Gao roared loudly. He is a man of martial arts, and he is straightforward, and he never beat around the bush.Hearing about Gao Chong's background, my hands were itchy, so I asked for advice.

Gao Chong looked at Zhao Gou and saw that he had no objection, so he agreed.

Although Niu Gao's martial arts were good, he was still far behind Gao Chong, and he was defeated in just three rounds; then, Zhang Xian also went up to meet him, and the two asked for advice together, it was still three rounds; In the end, Zhang Xian and Wang Gui also went up, and the four of them faced Gao Chong together, but they couldn't make it past five rounds, everyone was convinced now.

Yue Fei sighed, "I'm ashamed of myself!"

Lu Junyi was surprised and said: "Junior brother, where did you find such a master, even my marksmanship is inferior to me!"

Zhao Gou said with a smile: "Gao Chong's learning is the Gao Family Spear. Among many marksmanship, the Gao Family Spear should be ranked first, even if it is not as good as the senior brother. It is normal. It is for this reason that I put him Bring it out and let him see the generals of the Kingdom of Jin with his own eyes!"

Lu Junyi understood Zhao Gou's meaning, because Gao Chong's marksmanship is really powerful, not only domineering, but also deadly.Both Lu Junyi and Yue Fei used spears, and they also saw that the long spear Gao Chong used was also a famous spear. The most important thing was that Gao Chong's marksmanship was much better than theirs.

Even if they go by themselves, they are afraid that they will be defeated, and they know that they are not as good.

Niu Gao and the others were convinced and dumbfounded, they felt that their martial arts were not weak.But in front of Gao Chong, they were like children playing tricks, not to mention they had no defense at all, they were simply being beaten by Gao Chong, which surprised them very much.

Gao Chong dealt with them with ease, trying his best but not doing his best, which shocked them a little.But they have already lost, and there is no jealousy, more admiration.

"Brother Gao is good at marksmanship!" Niu Gao exclaimed, "Even after several years of practice, he still can't catch up with Brother Gao's martial arts, I'm convinced!"

Gao Chong replied: "Niu Xianfeng is being polite!"

Niu Gao and the other four were no match for Gao Chong, which made the Ruan brothers and Zhang Shun dumbfounded.Their water skills are good, and their hand skills are not bad, but compared with Niu Gao and others, they are still a bit weaker.Comparing the two, they are not even Gao Chong's opponents.

Lu Junyi looked at Zhao Gou with a smile, and then asked: "Junior brother, you asked the emperor to send a decree to accompany me to accompany the envoy to the Kingdom of Jin to discuss the covenant. It shouldn't be that simple!"

Zhao Gou was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile, "Why did senior brother say that?"

Lu Junyi looked at Zhao Gou without squinting, and said with a smile: "When I received the imperial decree, I had doubts. From what I know about you, you should not be an envoy to the Kingdom of Jin so easily. If it is true It’s just to talk about the alliance, I don’t need to participate with third junior brother and others, as long as there is junior brother, king of Chu, and brother Gao.”

"Brother Gao's marksmanship is actually the best in the world, and no one can match it. Even if you are fighting with the generals of the Jin Kingdom or encountering troubles, you don't have to worry about it; and although the King of Chu has never seen it, he still has it. You don't need to talk about his resourcefulness if you know about him; besides, you have your junior brother in charge, how can you fail to handle this matter!"

Zhao Yougong, Gao Chong, Yue Fei and others also felt that Lu Junyi's words made sense, and they all looked at Zhao Gou, waiting quietly for his explanation.

"Senior brother is worthy of being a senior brother, no wonder the master has been full of praise! Yes, I did have other arrangements for letting you come here." Now that Lu Junyi had already guessed it and everyone was watching, Zhao Gou no longer concealed it, and simply confessed, Dao: "Although we talked about the covenant with Jin to jointly conquer Liao, Jin and Liao are both foreign enemies to the Song Dynasty, so you can't believe what you say, even if it is a covenant, it can't really be bound!"

Lu Junyi frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Junior Brother suspects that Jin Guo has the intention of invading Song Dynasty?"

"It's not doubt, it's affirmation!" Zhao Gou said firmly.

Yue Fei asked: "Since it is sure, then why do you do it this way? Doesn't it fuel the arrogance of Jin Guo and give them a better chance?"

Zhao Gou replied confidently: "Opportunities and dangers always coexist. The greater the risk, the greater the opportunity. The purpose of this is that Song Dynasty also needs it, so it depends on who is doing it. Now everything is up to me If Jin Guo wants to take advantage of the opportunity, then he has to weigh it!"
