Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 49 Yang Congyi

Zhao Chen, Li Gang, Yue Fei and others are galloping forward at this moment!

They already knew the news that the Jurchen army was coming, and there was a hint of anxiety on their faces at this moment!

"Zhe Yanzhi led 50,000 troops to block the Jurchens, I wonder if they can stop them?" Zhao Chen said.

"His Royal Highness, I'm afraid Orihiko doesn't have this ability!" Yue Fei said.

"Zheyan has great ambition and talent, brave but not scheming! The Jurchens have always been fierce. No matter how powerful Zhong Shidao was back then, he was no match for the Jurchens. How can he stop the Jurchens?" Li Gang said.

"I hope he can delay the speed of the Jurchens' advance a little bit!" Zhao Chen sighed softly.

They didn't expect that Zhe Yanzhi didn't even achieve the goal of delaying the speed of Jurchen's march. Not only did he bury fifty thousand Zhe family soldiers in vain, but his soldiers also leaked the direction of Zhao Chen and others' escape! Now Jin Wushu no longer chased and killed those rout soldiers, but kept chasing them in the direction of Hanzhong!

It was snowing heavily, and Zhao Chen's whole body had turned white, and there was a vast expanse of whiteness in front of him. Although it was daytime, they couldn't see far!

At this moment, the sound of horseshoes sounded from behind again, a middle-aged man was riding towards this side, and Yue Fei was already looking behind!

"It's Big Brother!" Yue Fei said.

It turned out that the person who came was Yue Fei's sworn brother Wang Gui!

At this moment, Wang Gui had already caught up with the group of them. Wang Gui's face was not very good-looking, and Zhao Chen hurriedly said, "What happened?"

Wang Guidao: "Your Highness, Zhe Yanzhi has been defeated! The Jurchens are catching up again! They are heading towards Hanzhong all the way!"

"What! So fast? Orihikozhi should have just been in contact with the Jurchen not long ago, but he lost?" Zhao Chen couldn't believe it.

Li Gang, Yue Fei and others beside them also showed unbelievable expressions! According to the logic, Orihiko had 50,000 troops under him, and their 50,000 troops could take a rest there and wait for work! In addition, the Song army is familiar with the local terrain, and when the Jurchens arrive, even if they are not the opponents of the Jurchens, they will not be defeated in a moment!

How can they believe this news?

"Your Highness, that Zhe Yanzhi is really confused to the extreme! The Zhejia army is exhausted to the extreme, and he even urged the soldiers to go in the direction of the golden soldiers! That's all, on the plain, he actually let the Zhejia army The infantry just met the cavalry like that! Seeing the Jurchen cavalry approaching, he didn't let the soldiers hide in the favorable terrain! So, he was defeated after just contact! I really don't understand, he really is Zhe Keqiu's son? How could Zhe Keqiu give birth to such an incompetent son?" Wang Gui said angrily!

"So, the Jurchens are getting closer and closer to us... At most, they will catch up with us before dark!" Zhao Chen said.

"Not bad!" Wang Gui nodded.

"Then why are you hesitating, let's move forward quickly! There are 100,000 Zhe family troops behind, even if the Jurchen wants to kill, it will take a while to kill, we have plenty of time to escape! Let's go!" Zhao Chen said loudly.

At this moment, he can only move forward desperately so that he can escape his life! As for the Zhejia army behind him, he can't care anymore!

"Your Highness, I'm going to continue to inquire about the news!" Wang Gui said again.

"You must be tired all the way here! General Wang, I will trouble you this time!" Zhao Chen looked at Wang De and said.

"Serve His Highness, I will do anything!" Wang De nodded, turned his horse's head and headed north!

They moved forward all the way, but news from the Jurchens kept reaching them along the way! They are more sure about the Jurchen's whereabouts than Zhe Keqiu, precisely because of the presence of people like Wang Gui, Zhang Xian, and Wang De! These people are innate masters, they are responsible for scouting news, naturally they are much stronger than those spies under Zhe Keqiu!

"Zhe Keqiu must have gotten the news at this moment, what will he do?" Zhao Chen said.

"He will definitely arrange for other people to stop the Jurchen army, otherwise his 100,000 army will be wiped out!" Yue Fei said.

"Who else is available under his command?" Zhao Chen asked.

"Although Zhe Keqiu's son, Zhe Yanwen, is weak, he is quite resourceful, far superior to his younger brother. According to the old minister, it should be Zhe Yanwen who led the troops to stop the Jurchen army!" Li Gang said from the side.

Zhao Chen nodded, the wind and snow were raging, he stopped talking at this moment, but kept urging the horses to move forward! Not far from them are the cavalry of the Zhejia army. At this moment, these cavalry of the Zhejia army are also closely following them to protect their safety!

*** ***

The sky is getting darker and darker. I'm afraid it's already afternoon, and the Jurchens haven't caught up yet!

At this moment, there was a sound of weapons clashing in front of them, and Zhao Chen, Li Gang and others were shocked! The cavalry of the Zhejia Army beside them has already moved forward to meet them!

"What happened? Could it be that the Jurchens are in front?" Zhao Chen said.

"This is absolutely impossible! Unless the Jurchens have wings, they can't rush in front of us!" Li Gang said.

After a while, the sound of weapons intersecting in front stopped, and several cavalrymen of the Zhejia army came towards this side with a group of people!

The leader was a school lieutenant of the Zhejia Army, exactly the Kang An that Zhao Chen had seen before!

At this moment, Kang An had already rushed to Zhao Chen and the others. He jumped off his horse, knelt down on the ground, and said, "Your Highness, we have encountered reinforcements!"

Zhao Chen was taken aback, and he hurriedly got off his horse. He pulled Kang An up first, and said, "You are in the army, and you don't need to kneel down to perform military duties! Tell me, where are the reinforcements from?"

He pulled Kang An up, and Kang An was very grateful! These days, when he got along with Zhao Chen and others, he had already felt Zhao Chen's approachability, and he was already very close to the Crown Prince in his heart, and now the sense of intimacy is even stronger!

Immediately Kang An said: "Ahead is the soldiers and horses of the twelfth lieutenant general on Jingyuan Road!"

Zhao Chen was taken aback, he naturally knew that Jingyuan Road was a famous faction of the Western Army! In the past, the way of cultivating teachers was to guard Jingyuan. After cultivating the way of teachers, General Qu Duan guarded Jingyuan! Qu Duan also has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, could it be that Qu Duan's subordinates are here?

"The twelfth lieutenant general? What's his name?" Zhao Chen asked.

For the official position of "twelfth lieutenant general", he found it very interesting! In the past, I have heard of lieutenant generals and generals, but I have never heard of lieutenant generals and generals who are ranked twelfth all at once! It seems that this person's status in the Jingyuan Army is extremely low!

"The last general doesn't even know his name!" Kang An said.

"How many of them are here? Have all the Jingyuan troops arrived?" Zhao Chen asked with some expectation.

If all the Jingyuan troops arrive, it may not be impossible to block the Jin soldiers!

"Your Highness, how could all the Jingyuan Army come? They are in Jingyuan City. I'm afraid they haven't heard the news of the fall of Tongguan and Chang'an! The twelfth general is said to belong to the Jingyuan Army in name, but actually is The general of Shuzhong came here for some reason! This general of Shuzhong has at most thousands of soldiers and horses under his command!" Kang An said.

"Thousands of soldiers?" Zhao Chen was disappointed! If there were only a few thousand people, it would be absolutely impossible to block the Jurchen soldiers!

"Your Highness, they are here!" Kang An pointed to the back and said.

A group of people behind has arrived, and they are also wearing Song Jun's clothes. At this moment, they obviously know Zhao Chen's identity!

Such a group of people came to Zhao Chen and fell to their knees!

Zhao Chen helped these people up, with a smile on his face, he said, "Which of you is the twelfth lieutenant general? My palace would like to thank you for coming to the rescue!"

The leader of that group was a middle-aged general. This middle-aged general looked at Zhao Chen with a mixture of fanaticism, excitement, and excitement in his eyes! When Zhao Chen saw this look, he immediately understood that this man was a foolish and loyal general like Yue Fei! In this era, in addition to rebellious generals like Liu Guangshi who have discounts, there are also generals like Yue Fei who regard "loyalty" as extremely important! In the hearts of these foolish and loyal generals, loyalty is the foundation of being a person, and loyalty means loyalty to the emperor. If the emperor is not around, that is loyalty to the prince! In the hearts of these people, His Royal Highness Zhao Chen is now the symbol of the country, representing the country! To be loyal to the prince is to be loyal to the country!

Seeing this look, Zhao Chen was overjoyed, no matter what, he met a loyal minister here!

"The last general Yang Congyi has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! The last general is not the twelfth general on Jingyuan Road, but the last general's boss!" The leading middle-aged general knelt down again and said.

"Get up quickly! It seems that I will abolish the kneeling salute in the army from now on! Marching and fighting, kneeling at every turn, how much delay will it take?" Zhao Chen laughed.

"Your Highness loves your subjects, this is naturally a blessing for your subjects! However, etiquette cannot be discarded!" The middle-aged general stood up and said again.

Zhao Chen smiled, he knew that this person must be as stubborn as Yue Fei! As for the name Yang Congyi, for some reason he felt a little familiar. It seemed that he might have seen this name before in modern times! And those who can leave a name in the history books must be those who have made great achievements in this era, at least they are outstanding people. It seems that this Yang Congyi is not simple!

He didn't know that Yang Congyi was a military general with considerable military exploits in the early Southern Song Dynasty. Afterwards, he managed the local area. He built schools and built water conservancy projects. He was quite famous among the people. So famous!

"Who is your boss? How many soldiers and horses did you bring?" Zhao Chen asked again.

"The boss of the last general is Wu Jie. He was training troops in Sichuan. He heard that the Jin soldiers might go south, so he took us north! We have more than 5,000 men!" Yang Congyi said.

"Wu Jie!" Zhao Chen stayed there all of a sudden!
