Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Zhe Keqiu and Zhe Yanzhi are waiting for the arrival of Li Ruoshui and Wang De in the city lord's mansion of Tongguan City. The reason why they summoned Wang De, Li Ruoshui and others in such a hurry is mainly to find out the direction of the Jurchen's attack and prepare them in advance. Prepare!

You can sit there with a majestic look on your face! Orihiko next to him was very proud at the moment. He had spread the news that the prince was in Tongguan these days. Qu Duan, Yao Gu and other generals of the Western Army had expressed their intention to come to see His Royal Highness. After discussing with his father, he has decided to allow Zhao Chen to ascend the throne as soon as possible, and then he will grasp the righteousness and command the world!

"Father is Cao Cao, and I am Cao Pi! Hey, from now on, this world will not belong to the Zhao family, but to my Zhe family!" Thinking of this, he was very excited!

"Yan Zhi, the news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in Tongguan is gradually spreading, there must be officials from all over the world coming to see him, and our attitude towards the Crown Prince should have undergone some changes!" Zhe Keqiu said.

"Father, the prince is just a puppet, just a puppet in our hands? We give him food, drink, and shelter. This is already very good, what else should we do?" Orihiko asked.

Zhe Keqiu frowned, and said: "Yan Zhi, you must not have such thoughts! After all, the crown prince is the prince, the future emperor! We coerce the emperor to command the princes, but on the surface we have to respect him, don't let him Outsiders can see our thoughts and plan to come!"

Orihiko was full of reluctance, but when his father said so, he could only nod his head and said: "Okay! I understand! From now on, I will be more respectful to that so-called prince!"

Zhe Keqiu nodded and said: "The Crown Prince has been in Tongguan for some time, we should go to see him! How about this, I will hold a banquet tonight to entertain His Royal Highness and Li Gang Li! By the way, Li Ruoshui can be considered a well-known figure, he was also the prince's teacher back then, so let's treat him too!"

The two were talking there, when a soldier outside reported the arrival of Li Ruoshui and Wang De, Zhe Keqiu hurriedly invited them in.

They thought that these two people would talk about the situation in Luoyang first, but they didn't expect that Li Ruoshui just came in and immediately asked, "General Zhe, where is His Highness the Crown Prince? We want to see His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Zhe Keqiu was stunned for a moment, and said: "There is no need to worry about this matter! His Royal Highness is in this Tongguan, and he will not leave here. You can visit us at any time! Master Li, General Wang, please tell us about the situation in Luoyang first." , How many Jin soldiers attacked Luoyang at that time? How did Luoyang fall? Do you know what your Majesty and the Supreme Emperor are doing now?"

Li Ruoshui suppressed his urgency, and said: "Luoyang fell on the 23rd of the first lunar month. At that time, Jurchen general Wanyan Loushi commanded 30,000 troops. My Luoyang city only had 5,000 troops, and most of them were old and weak. No match for the Jurchens! Luoyang was captured in just two days! Your Majesty and the Supreme Emperor are now in the Jurchen army. There are rumors that the Jurchens are going to take your Majesty and the Supreme Emperor to the north. We must immediately rescue your Majesty and the Supreme Emperor! There are countless people in the palace His concubines and princesses were also captured by the Jurchens, and I heard that many of them were raped by the Jurchens... This, this makes us, the courtiers, how embarrassing?"

Li Ruoshui is a well-known loyal minister in history, and when he talked about it later, he burst into tears! He can't wait to rescue the emperor, the supreme emperor, their concubines, and princesses immediately, even if it's his own life in exchange!

It's a pity that he is so loyal, others may not be as loyal as him!

"Lord Li, the Jurchens are very powerful. How powerful was Master Zhong Daozhong back then, and his Zhongjia army was the strongest army in the world, but it turned out to be vulnerable to the Jurchens. How can our Zhejia army be a woman?" A real person's opponent?" Zhe Keqiu asked.

"Could it be that General Zhe just watched His Majesty being taken to the north and tortured?" Li Ruoshui asked.

"Of course not, it's just that our current strength is insufficient! We should accumulate strength, continue to recruit soldiers, and call on the people of the world to serve the king! When the time is right, we will go north to rescue His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor!" Zhe Keqiu said.

"Then when will it be?" Li Ruoshui asked.

"Five to ten years!" Zhe Keqiu said.

"In the past five to ten years, if something unexpected happens to His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor, what should we do?" Li Ruoshui said.

"If that's the case, I'm afraid there is nothing we can do!" Zhe Keqiu shook his head and said.

Li Ruoshui was so sad that she couldn't help squatting down and crying loudly!

Wang De next to him helped Li Ruoshui up, and said, "Lord Li, now is not the time to grieve, now we must see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Li Ruoshui nodded lightly. He wiped away his tears and said, "General Zhe, I heard that His Royal Highness is in Tongguan? Is there such a thing?"

Zhe Keqiu nodded and said, "Not bad!"

Li Ruoshui said: "We need to pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince immediately!"

Zhe Keqiu frowned slightly. Originally, he wanted to make preparations, make the banquet first, then entertain Zhao Chen with a respectful appearance, and then invite Li Ruoshui and others to come! Li Ruoshui wanted to see Zhao Chen now, he felt a little embarrassed!

"What? Is there any problem?" Li Ruoshui asked.

"It's nothing... Some time ago, His Royal Highness Kang Wang sent someone to inform me that someone was pretending to be the prince! Therefore, when the prince came that day, I didn't know the identity of the prince, so I didn't meet him in time! I'm afraid the prince will blame me for being negligent!" You can find the way.

"When we were in Luoyang City, we also received a report from King Kang, saying that someone pretended to be the prince, saying that the prince was killed by the Jurchens! But General Wang De was in Luoyang City at that time, and he was the one who escorted the prince to leave Kaifeng City, so I I know that the prince is not dead! I don't understand why His Royal Highness Kang Wang conveyed such a message?" Li Ruoshui said.

"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to Xiangzhou City first. Outside Xiangzhou City, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was besieged by His Royal Highness Kang Wang, and then His Royal Highness escaped from Xiangzhou City and came to Tongguan... Everyone knows the heart of King Kang!" Keqiu sneered.

"You mean King Kang... he's a traitor?" Li Ruoshui said in disbelief.

Zhe Keqiu didn't answer, just nodded silently.

"Damn it!" Li Ruoshui couldn't help cursing.

"I have already sent people to inform the generals of the Western Army to come and pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince, and to spread the ambitions of King Kang! Everyone can punish King Kang for rebellion!" Zhe Keqiu said with a hint of pride on his face. .

Now that he has decided to "coerce the emperor to order the princes", then King Kang is naturally his own archenemy, so he does not hesitate to target Kang Wang at all!

Kang Wang's agency is too clever to calculate, but he doesn't know that the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind him, but he can only ask for it, but he is wholeheartedly trying to protect the "puppet" of the prince!

"Anyway, we have to pay homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Li Ruoshui said.

"Okay! How about it, Yan Zhi, you immediately send an order to hold a banquet. Today we will celebrate the prince's escape. We welcome Lord Li Gang, Lord Li Ruoshui, and General Wang De to Tongguan!" Zhe Keqiu said.

Zhe Yanzhi immediately went to hold a banquet, while Zhe Keqiu, Li Ruoshui, and Wang De went to meet Zhao Chen.

*** ***

Zhao Chen had just learned his homework all morning. This morning, Li Gang was talking about the art of war, and the three brothers Yue Fei were also listening to the class! Although Li Gang is a civil servant, he talks about the art of war as "talking about war on paper", but he has outstanding knowledge and indulges in talking about war on paper, but everyone still benefits!

After breakfast, a soldier suddenly ran in from outside. The soldier knelt down on the ground and said, "My minister sees His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Zhao Chen smiled and said, "You finally know that I am His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

The soldier didn't dare to raise his head, and said: "General Zhe wants to come to meet His Royal Highness in person! Your Royal Highness, do you have any dissatisfaction here these days?"

Before Zhao Chen could speak, Zhang Xian next to him snorted coldly: "You put us under house arrest, do you think we are dissatisfied?"

Zhao Chen waved his hand, signaled Zhang Xian not to say too much, and said with a smile, "It's good that I'm here! When will you General Zhe arrive?"

The soldier said: "General Zhe will be here soon! In addition, Lord Li Ruoshui, the Order of Luoyang, and General Wang De of the Forbidden Army will also be here!"

Hearing that Li Ruoshui and Wang De came together, Zhao Chen was overjoyed and said, "Are they coming too? When did they come to Tongguan?"

The soldier said: "They came to Tongguan an hour ago. They heard that His Royal Highness is here, and they will pay a visit immediately!"

"Haha... that's great! Let them come quickly! I'll wait for them here!" Zhao Chen laughed.

He is not familiar with Li Ruoshui. Originally, Li Ruoshui was his teacher, but he only met once, the day he crossed, and he passed out that day. After that, Li Ruoshui was demoted to Luoyang Commander! But he is very familiar with Wang De, Wang De is the closest person to him in this era, even Li Gang is not as good as Wang De! In Zhao Chen's heart, Wang De can be regarded as his best friend in this world! Originally, after they split into two groups, Zhao Chen was very worried about Wang De's safety, but now it seems that Wang De is safe and sound!

"That's great!" Zhao Chen muttered excitedly to himself.

"Your Highness, I will beg you later, so I want to show her weakness!" Li Gang said softly.

"Show him weakness?" Zhao Chen was taken aback.
