Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 34 All the way west

"We drove all night, at least more than 300 miles, now it's safe, we can take a rest!" Li Gang got off his horse and said with a smile.

Li Gang is a civil servant, and his body is the weakest. This night's journey made him extremely exhausted, but he was able to escape from Xiangzhou City, and he was in a great mood!

"His Royal Highness, let's find something to eat first!" The middle-aged man also jumped off his horse, looked around and said.

There is almost no edible food in this deserted village, but the ancient times are different from the modern times. There are forests everywhere, and there are many wild animals in it. It is still very simple to hunt some wild animals with the skills of a middle-aged man!

The lively young man left with the middle-aged man, and the dull young man also jumped off his horse!

At this moment, the dull young man is holding a bow in his hand, it is the famous "Shocking Bow"! Looking at this sky-shaking bow, the dull young man couldn't help showing a hint of excitement in his eyes! In addition to his extraordinary fist and foot skills, his bow and arrow skills are also extremely high, but ordinary bows and arrows can't bear his divine power at all. Only after possessing this sky-shaking bow can his divine power be fully displayed!

Zhao Chen has also dismounted at this moment, and he looked at the dull young man with curiosity!

During the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties, heroes emerged in large numbers, and most of them were those with high martial arts skills, but those with such high martial arts skills are still extremely rare!

"Thank you for saving me, but I don't know the name of the strong man Gao?" Zhao Chen laughed.

"Crassman Yue Fei sees His Highness the Crown Prince!" The dull young man fell to his knees and said.

Zhao Chen's complexion changed drastically, and he stayed there all of a sudden!

Yue Fei... The dull-looking man in front of him, who looks like an honest migrant worker, is actually Yue Fei! If he hadn't seen the martial arts of the dull young man, he would never have believed this sentence!

"My God, Yue Fei, this person is actually Yue Fei!" At this moment, Zhao Chen only had such thoughts in his mind!

If it is the most famous figure in the handover period of the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties, it must be Yue Fei! This person is the military god of this era, a national hero! In Zhao Chen's mind, Yue Fei should be tall and handsome, with a majestic appearance. No one could have imagined that Yue Fei was such a character!

"His Royal Highness? His Royal Highness?" Seeing that Zhao Chen was stunned there without opening his mouth for a long time, while Yue Fei was still kneeling there, Li Gang couldn't help reminding.

"Ah! Please hurry up, Mr. Yue Zhuang! That's great, that's great! So you are Yue Fei! Hahahaha!" Zhao Chen couldn't help laughing up to the sky!

He is so happy now. After coming to this era, he often feels uneasy in his heart, and often feels that danger is around him, but now that he knows that this person is Yue Fei, he seems to have found a backer suddenly, all the uneasiness, All the dangers seem to be far away from me!

He looked up to the sky and laughed without stopping for a long time. Li Gang next to him was curious and surprised. He didn't know what happened to Zhao Chen! He has been with Zhao Chen for more than a month, and he has never seen Zhao Chen like this!

"Your Highness? Your Highness?" Li Gang couldn't help reminding again.

"I'm so happy! Yue Zhuangshi, are you named Pengju?" Zhao Chen forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and said.

"That's right, Caomin's name is Pengju, how does Your Highness know?" The dull young man is the famous Yue Feiyue Pengju in this era, and he is also extremely surprised at this moment!

"That's right, it's you, it's you... Yes, you are from Tangyin County, Xiangzhou, and we are in Xiangzhou now... The martial arts are so strong, who else is it if it's not you?" Zhao Chen was ecstatic for a while. , The speech became a little confused!

Yue Fei was even more surprised at this moment. His Royal Highness actually knew his character and his birthplace. It seems that His Royal Highness had heard of his name a long time ago! But although his martial arts are high-strength, he is only slightly famous in Xiangzhou. He doesn't understand how His Highness the Crown Prince knows his name!

"Your elder brother and third younger brother, who are they?" After being excited for a long time, Zhao Chen asked again.

"Caomin elder brother Wang Gui and third younger brother Zhang Xian, like Caomin, are from Xiaotili, Yonghe Township! In the past, we three brothers worked in the village, but now the Jurchen barbarians invaded and our hometown was destroyed, so we wanted to join the army and fight against Jurchen !” Yue Fei said.

"Good! Good! It's great that you have such a thought! Let me ask you, are you willing to follow me and work with me to drive out the Tartars and restore the Central Plains?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Highness is the crown prince. Now the two emperors have been captured. You are the crown prince of the country, so we naturally follow you!" Yue Fei said without hesitation.

"Yue Zhuangshi, you have also seen that King Kang is a traitor and is trying to murder His Highness the Crown Prince! Now King Kang has many soldiers and horses, and His Highness the Crown Prince is only followed by an old minister like me. Even so, are you willing to follow His Highness the Crown Prince?" Li Gang next to him suddenly said road.

"Even so, I should follow His Highness the Crown Prince! One should be loyal, otherwise is he still a human?" Yue Fei said again "without hesitation".

This person is a model of foolish loyalty in history. In history, it was because the two emperors and the crown prince were captured at the same time, and only Zhao Gou was left as a child of the royal family. He was naturally loyal to Zhao Gou! But now, Zhao Chen is still alive, so he is naturally loyal to Zhao Chen! Zhao Chen didn't need to painstakingly recruit him, as long as he knew Zhao Chen's identity, he would naturally be loyal to Zhao Chen, and he would have no other thoughts at all!

"Great! Yue Fei is the god of war, and Wang Gui and Zhang Xian seem to be the main generals of the Yue family army in later generations! I went to Xiangzhou. Although it was dangerous, it was worthwhile to recruit Yue Fei, Wang Gui and Zhang Xian !" At this moment, Zhao Chen secretly said with joy in his heart.

*** ***

About half an hour later, Wang Gui and Zhang Xian arrived, and they caught a small deer. They squatted there and lit a fire to barbecue!

By the time the meat was cooked, several people were already extremely hungry, and they were all starting to feast on it now!

"Your Highness, it's all the old minister's fault. I brought you to Xiangzhou City, and almost let Your Highness be killed by King Kang!" After a while, Li Gang said.

"You can't blame the teacher for this matter, the teacher is also for the good of the palace! Hey, no one thought that my ninth uncle would be so ambitious! In fact, the ninth uncle is very talented, otherwise he would not be able to recruit him in such a short time. Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, Liu Guangshi, many fierce generals, and hundreds of thousands of routs and rebels! If Uncle Jiu wholeheartedly fights against the gold, what's the matter with me giving him the throne?" Zhao Chen gnawed a large piece of meat and said .

"How can Your Highness have such thoughts? Kang Wang is a rebellious person, how can he give up the throne to him?" Li Gang said dumbfounded.

"I just said that if he wholeheartedly resists the gold, I can give him the throne! Unfortunately, I know he will definitely not wholeheartedly fight against the gold! He will not go to the north, will not rescue the father and the emperor, and will not let the people of the world live. Go to Ansheng's day!" Zhao Chen said flatly.

"King Kang is a traitor, I will definitely kill this beast in my lifetime!" Yue Fei said suddenly.

"He wants to kill me, and I won't let him go!" Zhao Chen said with a smile.

If people don't attack me, I won't attack others. If people attack me, I will attack them! Kang Wang wants to kill him, he has already regarded Kang Wang as an enemy, and he will find a way to kill Kang Wang in the future!

Of course, Kang Wang's current strength is much stronger than him, he can only avoid the edge for the time being, and let himself be safe first!

"Your Highness, where are we going next?" Wang Gui asked.

"I need to ask the teacher about this!" Zhao Chen smiled, and he looked at Li Gang.

Li Gang thought for a while, and said: "Your Highness, I think we'd better go to the northwest!"

"Northwest?" Zhao Chen was taken aback, and said, "Why did you go there?"

According to Zhao Chen's thinking, it is best to go to Jiangnan now, where it is the safest! In history, Zhao Gou went to Jiangnan, and then he was on the southern side of Jiangnan. Now he wants to occupy Jiangnan before Zhao Gou! He didn't expect Li Gang to suggest going to the northwest!

"Your Highness should know that the army in the world is divided into the Forbidden Army and the Western Army. The Western Army is far stronger than the Forbidden Army, and the northwest is the birthplace of the Western Army, so I suggest that Your Highness go to the Northwest! After we get there, we can control the Western Army first. Only in this way can we compete with King Kang and the Jurchens!" Li Gang said.

"Western Army? Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, and Zhang Jun are all from the Western Army. Haven't they already joined King Kang?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Highness, there are many factions in the Western Army. Although Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun and others are highly skilled in martial arts, they are only partial generals in the Western Army. They have only a few thousand soldiers under their command. They just brought these thousands of soldiers and horses to join His Highness Kang Wang! Liu Guangshi's Liu Family Army is the main faction of the Western Army. Now tens of thousands of Liu Family Army have all defected to King Kang, but besides Liu Family Army, there are other factions in the Western Army, other armies! Such as Zhekeqiu, Zheyan The Zhejia army is still in the northwest, and there are 150,000 Zhejia troops! In addition to the Zhejia army, there are also the Jingyuan army in Quduan, the Yao family army in Yaogu, etc... Now there are still troops in the northwest. Hundreds of thousands of troops, these people can be used by His Highness!" Li Gang said.

"I see!" Zhao Chen nodded.

He thought about it carefully, and now mastering the army is indeed the most important thing! In troubled times, the army is much more important than the territory! With an army there is everything! A great man in later generations said that "political power grows out of the barrel of a gun", this is the truth of China from ancient times to the present! He really needs to have his own army now!

"In addition, the northwest is easy to defend and difficult to attack! Guanzhong has the dangers of the Yellow River and Tongguan, and it is extremely difficult for the Jurchens to fight! Even if Guanzhong falls, we can retreat to Sichuan, where it is even easier to defend and difficult to attack. This is the second reason why I suggest His Highness go to the northwest!" Li Gang said.

"So, there is a third reason?" Zhao Chen asked curiously.

"Naturally there is a third reason! Qin Shihuang and Han Gaozu both occupied Guanzhong and Sichuan, and then achieved world supremacy! Guanzhong, Sichuan and other places were prosperous places in the Qin and Han Dynasties, so I suggest that Your Highness go to the northwest!" Li Gang said.

"Okay, I will follow the teacher's advice and go to the northwest! Originally, I planned to go to Jiangnan, where there are many waterways. After arriving in Jiangnan, the Jurchen cavalry will be useless, and we will be very safe!" Zhao Chen said.

Li Gang shook his head and said: "When we arrive in the south of the Yangtze River, the Jurchen cavalry will be useless, but what about the soldiers and horses under King Kang? His Highness is still very dangerous when he arrives in the south of the Yangtze River, and King Kang may still kill His Highness, so we have to go west. , mastering the Western Army is the most important thing at the moment! Moreover, even if His Highness can gain a firm foothold in the south of the Yangtze River, it will be very difficult to return to the Central Plains in the future... Since ancient times, there has been no reason to attack the north from the south. But you can only choose one side!"

Zhao Chen pondered Li Gang's words while listening. After careful consideration, he secretly admired Li Gang, thinking that Li Gang's vision was beyond his own! In the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou did not restore the Central Plains. On the one hand, he was seeking peace wholeheartedly, and on the other hand, it had something to do with his being in the south of the Yangtze River! Jiangnan is a place of peace, not a place of revival, so I almost made a big mistake!

"Very well, we will do everything according to what the teacher said, and we will head west now! We will be truly safe when we reach the northwest!" Zhao Chen stood up and said.

"When we cross the Yellow River and reach Tongguan, we will be safe." Li Gang also stood up and said with a smile.

Yue Fei, Wang Gui, and Zhang Xian also stood up, and they had already gone to lead the horse.

"Teacher, who is the guard at Tongguan now?" Zhao Chen said.

"The guard of Tongguan? It seems to be the father and son who can be asked for a discount!" Li Gang thought for a while and said.

"It turned out to be them! Back then, the emperor asked them to guard the Yellow River, but they ran away in a hurry when they heard the sound of the golden soldiers' drums. I don't know if these two people are reliable?" Zhao Chen said.

"We have nowhere to go now, we can only go there! After we get there, let's play by ear!" Li Gang said.

"That's the only way!" Zhao Chen said with a soft sigh.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the court was rotten, the army was rotten, everything was rotten! The generals in the Northern Song Dynasty were not reliable at all, but now he has no other choice but to rely on those people! Now he only has Li Gang, Yue Fei and a few other people under his command, and a few cats and cats. He is really weak and can't compete with King Kang and Jurchen at all. Now he has to rely on others!

"Zhe Keqiu, Zhe Yanzhi, I hope these two people can get along well! Let's go, let's go to the west! Yue Fei, you want to teach me how to ride a horse. If you don't know how to ride a horse in troubled times, that's fine!" Zhao Chen smiled.

A group of five people gradually disappeared...
