The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 610
Song Jiang, Li Kui, Zhong Shizhong and others died in the battle, and the other generals who survived were also seriously injured. They felt very uncomfortable.Because of this war, they lost their brothers, and even lost their comrades who fought side by side. Everyone was very sad.

Even though their hearts are sad, they still stick to their posts, just because they are the generals guarding one side, this is their responsibility and even more their obligation.Resisting the Jin soldiers is not for Zhao Huan, but for the people of the world, and also for the fathers and villagers in the hometown.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and there is no intention of stopping.

Zhao Gou, Gao Chong, Zhong Shidao and others dragged their wounded bodies, and the rest of the soldiers were also fully dressed.Because they want to send their brothers off for the last time, with their best posture and most solemn military uniforms.The corpses of Song Jiang, Li Kui and others were all put together and placed on the branches of trees.

The generals who died on the battlefield cannot be buried. There are too many brothers who died in this war.Therefore, Zhao Gou put them all together for cremation, and then took them back; the planter put them in a separate place, and wanted to send his ashes to his hometown.

Song Jiang, Lu Junyi and others have no descendants, so their ashes are all handled by Zhao Gou.Zhao Gou walked in front, followed by Gao Chong, Zhong Shidao, Yue Fei and others. Everyone lined up, even the soldiers, for the final farewell.

Zhao Gou lit the torch himself. When the flame rose, the eyes of the crowd filled with enthusiasm, and they let the tears fall quietly. They didn't cry out, but kept standing and silently bid farewell to the dead brothers.

Jin Bing encountered tenacious resistance from the Song Army led by Zhao Gou at Gubeikou, and suffered heavy losses. Wanyan Zonghan was seriously injured and could no longer command the army.At the same time, Wanyan Zongwang also fought with the troops of Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi and others.

The final result is also that the Song army won, successfully blocking the Jin soldiers' southward invasion.After Jin Taizong Wanyan Sheng received the battle report, he was stunned. Under the persuasion of his ministers, he could only order the withdrawal of troops.Therefore, there is no crisis in the frontier defense of the Song Dynasty for the time being.

The Song army resisted the 10,000+ army of the Jin soldiers with only tens of thousands of troops, and even severely damaged the Jin soldiers, which seriously injured the vitality of the Jin Dynasty.Even if Wanyan Sheng wanted to invade the south again, he was helpless.In addition, Jin Bing's granary was also attacked and burned down, and he could no longer support the army to attack the Song Dynasty.

The Jin Dynasty's first southern invasion of the Song Dynasty ended in failure, and this incident soon spread to Bianjing.

At this time, Song Qinzong Zhao Huan was fidgeting and sweating coldly, because the news of Zhao Gou's victory spread to the world, but he, the emperor, did not care about the life and death of the soldiers in front of him, and did nothing. Such behavior has already caused complaints from the people all over the world up.

Whether it is the people in Bianjing City or the people in other prefectures and counties, they yell at Song Qinzong, and the people in the land of Yanyun are even more open and aboveboard. Even scholars have begun to write books condemning Zhao Huan's crimes, which makes Zhao Huan very sad. is worried.

Zhao Huan knew in his heart that if the crisis in the land of Yanyun was lifted, then Zhao Gou would definitely return to Beijing to settle accounts with him.In the past, Zhao Gou would still take into account the brotherhood.At this moment, Zhao Gou no longer cared about it, which made Zhao Huan very panicky.

"Master, what should we do now?"

"Your majesty, don't panic!" The national teacher sneered, "King Yan is really powerful. I'm afraid that such achievements have never been made since the Song Dynasty. It's just that he is a subject, and the emperor is the son of heaven. You are the king and he is the subject. If you dare to have any disadvantages, then you will be committing crimes against your superiors, and it will even mean murdering the king."

"Even if he defeated the Jin army, as long as he dared to show any disrespect to the emperor, wouldn't it be more convenient to kill him? Besides, what excuse is better than this. If he dares to return to Beijing, Then we can set up an ambush in the palace, and with a little movement, we can catch them all, and then we can use this opportunity to seek peace with the Jin Dynasty."

"Do everything according to what the national teacher said!"

Song Qinzong thought of the scene when tens of thousands of troops faced 10,000+ people, and his heart was trembling.Now he didn't pay any attention, and completely lost his position, especially when Zhao Gou returned in triumph, even if he was not summoned by the imperial decree, he would definitely return to Jing Xingshi to inquire about his crimes, which made him very scared.

Zhao Gou was able to lead an army of tens of thousands to resist the offensive of the Jin soldiers, which completely stunned Zhao Huan.Now he really regrets it. If he had sent reinforcements back then, he wouldn't have been forced to such a degree by Zhao Gou.If reinforcements were sent, Zhao Huan would not need to worry at all.

"Eunuch Huang, is Emperor Father still in that yard?" Zhao Huan whispered to the eunuch beside him after the national teacher left.

"Go back to the emperor, the emperor is here!"

Zhao Huan nodded, and then signaled Eunuch Huang to lead the way. Today he will meet his father.Because of this incident, Zhao Gou will definitely not let it go.Now that he has experienced the joy of the emperor, how can he willingly hand over the throne to others.

In his opinion, only his father can save all this.If Zhao Gou disobeyed the imperial decree and returned to Beijing privately from the front line, then he was looking for himself.Just in case, Zhao Huan could only prepare in advance, he was really scared.

"The Emperor Taishang ordered one person to do things and one person to be responsible. My son is already the king of a country, and he should have the attitude of a king!" The eunuch accompanying Song Huizong said respectfully, "Your Majesty, you should go back! The Supreme Emperor has ignored the government. This is the message that the Supreme Emperor asked the slaves to deliver to you."

Zhao Huan left unwillingly. He was rejected by Song Huizong Zhao Ji, and he didn't want to see him at all, which meant that he had to do everything by himself.Zhao Huan turned and left dejectedly, he really didn't know what to do.

In fact, the national teacher is the most worried.Because the culprit behind this incident was directed by him alone, Zhao Gou will definitely pursue it.If Zhao Gou finds any clues, he will die.Now that the hatred with Zhao Gou is completely settled, the following things can only be arranged in advance.

Therefore, Master Cizhao returned home early.As for what Zhao Huan did afterwards, he didn't know at all.Because he never dreamed that Zhao Gou had such an ability to take the head of an enemy out of ten thousand people, which made him even more frightened.From such a situation, Zhao Gou's martial arts were not something he could resist at all.If Zhao Gou really returned to Beijing, then he really could not escape death.

Therefore, the national teacher secretly arranged everything and set up an ambush on the way back to Beijing, so Zhao Gou must not be allowed to return to Beijing.If the general in front returns to Beijing without an imperial decree, it will be a crime of treason. This is a good excuse, which makes him kill Zhao Gou even more unscrupulously. Even if the Supreme Emperor will blame him, he will not any questions.

"My lord, are you really planning to return to Beijing?"

"Well, go back, you must go back!" Zhao Gou replied decisively, "This blood debt must be repaid by Yao Yongxue. I want to seek justice for the brothers who died in the battle. Otherwise, the brothers died in vain. I will never agree. !"

Everyone was silent, and they all knew that it was not so simple for Zhao Gou to deal with the problem when he went back this time.Returning to Beijing with his attitude, I'm afraid it will cause another shock in the court.Although they are not reconciled to those people calling the wind and rain in the capital, they and others are fighting to the death.

However, if Zhao Gou really did that, he would be charged with treason.In addition, the murderous aura on Zhao Gou's body has not subsided, and it can also be seen the hatred deep in his heart.I'm afraid that after Zhao Gou returns to Beijing, it will really be a massacre.

Wu Yong frowned, and said: "However, if you return to Beijing rashly without the emperor's imperial decree or oral order, that would be a crime of rebellion."

"What about the rebellion? What else can they do to me?" Zhao Gou said murderously, "Since he is unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous. I was fighting in front, but he was drinking and having fun in the capital, disregarding the lives of soldiers, Regardless of the country of the Great Song Dynasty, what is the use of keeping such a person, just kill him with one knife!"

"My lord, this matter must not be acted hastily!" Wu Yong was frightened by Zhao Gou, and he said hastily: "If he is really beheaded, I am afraid that the Song Dynasty will be in chaos, and the lord will lose the people's support if he wins it. The result of doing this is being spurned by the people, who else is willing to support the prince?"

"These are not important, as long as we seek justice for the deaths of the brothers, even if I die, I will not hesitate!"

Zhong Shidao remonstrated: "My lord, what the military adviser said is true! If you really do that, let alone the death of the brothers, it will be in vain. At that time, when the golden soldiers attack, who will resist it? If this is the case, then why do the brothers stick to Gubeikou?"

"What Zhong Lao said is true! Please also ask the prince to think about it!" Yue Fei and others also persuaded.

"Did you forget their deaths?" Zhao Gou roared, "If it wasn't for the court not sending reinforcements, how could we have chosen such a tactic. Since we don't care about the lives and deaths of the soldiers, let him go down to apologize in person. !"

"Brothers died in battle, and my heart is also very painful!" Wu Yong sighed, "But brothers died in battle with honor, for the sake of the Song Dynasty, for the people of the world, and their death was heavier than Mount Tai. It is inevitable for generals to die in battle, now what we need to think about is how to stabilize the situation, how to get the imperial court to send reinforcements, if the golden soldiers come back, we will be powerless to resist.”

"My lord, our brothers followed you not for fame and wealth, but to protect our home and country. Now that they are dead, it can be regarded as fulfilling their long-cherished wish. If at this time, the lord really did something against you , what is the meaning of the death of the brothers?"

"But I'm unwilling!"

Zhao Gou looked up to the sky and shouted, his eyes were bloodshot, these days his mind was filled with the images of his dead brothers, and the pictures of those unknown soldiers all falling in a pool of blood, he had no mood to sleep at all, his mind was full It's all about getting justice for them.

Originally, Zhao Huan was his elder brother, and Zhao Gou didn't want to fight in the same room, let alone kill him.Therefore, he retreated repeatedly, and he also knew that Zhao Huan was Song Qinzong in history, and this was history that could not be changed too much.However, he paid such a painful price for his retreat, which made Zhao Gou reflect on his behavior.

If he had known this would be the result, Zhao Gou would rather fight in the same room and win the throne than let his brothers die in vain.Lu Junyi, Lin Chong and others are all his senior brothers, and Lin Chong was the first master who taught him martial arts. He taught him everything. Lin Chong didn't live a good life these years, and he died like this. This made him feel ashamed to face it. them.

"My lord, I have a suggestion!" Wu Yong took the words and said word by word: "King Qin!"

Originally, what Wu Yong wanted to say was "Qing Jun's side", but this word was used on the rebel army. If he did so, he would declare Zhao Gou's rebellion and give the court a better excuse to punish him, so he used "King Qin" Words, so the name is justified.

"King Qin?" Everyone looked at each other, and they looked at Wu Yong in confusion.

Wu Yong went on to say: "'King Qin' is the only justifiable excuse. Since there are villains and treacherous people around the emperor, you can use this reason to return to Beijing. Otherwise, if you rush into Beijing, you will really commit a crime. , I am afraid that the prince will be captured by the imperial army before he even arrives in the capital."

Zhao Gou is a sensible person, so there is no way he doesn't understand the truth of what Wu Yong said.If he returns to Beijing, he will commit a capital crime without an imperial decree.If he used this as an excuse, he could return to Beijing in a legitimate manner, and he could do what he wanted, because the first person he wanted to kill was the national teacher.

If he hadn't been a hindrance, it wouldn't have been such a painful price.It can be said that Zhao Gou hated him so deeply that he wished he could be killed immediately.
