Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

"Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to go to Hanzhong! Persuade His Highness the Crown Prince!" Yang Shi stood up and said loudly.

"Okay! Then there is Mr. Lao Yang! It's just that Mr. Yang is alone, who else is willing to go to Hanzhong?" Zhao Gou said.

In fact, seeing Yang Shi stand up, Zhao Gou was already very happy! Although Yang Shi didn't have much ability, Yang Shi's reputation was extremely great! This person is a disciple of a sage of Confucianism, even if he is the emperor, he would not dare to offend Yang Shi! Even Song Huizong and Song Qinzong didn't dare to offend Yang Shi when they were in power! Back then, Yang Shi had a bad relationship with Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others. Those people were all famous traitors in history with great power, but those people didn't dare to punish Yang Shi! There is such a famous person to persuade Zhao Chen, I am afraid that Zhao Chen will find it difficult to deal with it!

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Hanzhong with Mr. Yang! Persuade His Royal Highness!" At this time, another person stood up and said calmly.

Seeing this person, Zhao Gou was stunned, it turned out that the person was Zhao Ding!

Zhao Ding was originally a Luoyang order, and later became a small official in Kaifeng mansion! When Zhao Gou came to Xiangzhou, Zhao Ding happened to go to Xiangzhou for business and stayed in Xiangzhou! So Zhao Ding is now Zhao Gou's subordinate! It's just that Zhao Ding is an upright person and doesn't know how to please his boss! Therefore, the relationship between Zhao Gou and Zhao Ding itself is not very good! He just heard Zong Ze say that Zhao Ding has some abilities, so he still thinks highly of Zhao Ding!

Seeing Zhao Ding standing up at this moment, Zhao Gou nodded and said: "Okay! You can go to Hanzhong with Mr. Yang! I will entrust this matter to you two! I hope you can get the Jade Seal of Chuanguo in your hands! This The Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom is very important, and it should be in the hands of the king! The crown prince is young, if the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom is lost, it will be terrible!"

Yang Shi and Zhao Ding agreed!

"Your Majesty, you are enthroned as emperor today, but you can't stay in Shangqiu City forever!" Huang Qianshan suddenly stood up after talking about passing on the jade seal of the country, and said.

"Oh! Why can't you stay here forever?" Zhao Gou said.

"This is too close to Kaifeng! The Jurchens were able to defeat Kaifeng last time, and they will be able to hit Shangqiu next time! Whether it is Kaifeng or Shangqiu, it is a plain! The Jurchens cavalry is coming, we can't resist it at all! Therefore, I suggest that Your Majesty go to the south of the Yangtze River From then on, the capital will be established in the south of the Yangtze River!" Huang Qian said kindly.

"Yes, Your Majesty! There are so many waterways in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Jurchen cavalry will not be able to pass through those waterways at all! When they get there, their combat power will be greatly reduced, and we will be much safer!" Wang Boyan also stood up and said.

Both of these two were officials from Jiangnan officialdom, and their roots in Jiangnan were extremely strong, so they all suggested that Zhao Gou go to Jiangnan! Of course, what they said was not wrong. After arriving in Jiangnan, they will be much safer!

"You are right! It's just that we have just returned to the Central Plains and recovered Kaifeng, Shangqiu and other places. Now who should manage these places?" Zhao Gou said.

His gaze swept down, and those ministers of civil and military affairs turned their heads one after another! They are not willing to stay here, it is too dangerous here!

"Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to guard Kaifeng! The old minister wants to train a strong army in Kaifeng Mansion. Not only do I want to block the Jurchens here, but I also want to lead the army northward, completely recover the Central Plains, and welcome back the second emperor!" Zongze stood Come out, said.

"Okay! It's up to you! From today on, you are the prefect of Kaifeng!" Zhao Gou laughed.

In fact, he himself wanted Zongze to stay in the north! Although Zong Ze's reputation and talent are extremely high, but this person is also straightforward! Zhao Gou has to rely on Zong Ze, but he doesn't like Zong Ze very much! Therefore, it is the best choice for Zongze to stay in the north and become a barrier to the north!

"Your Majesty, General Han Shizhong is extraordinary, why not stay in Kaifeng and assist the veteran!" Zong Ze said again.

"There's no need for this! Han Shizhong is going to Jiangnan to form a Jiangnan navy to defend the Yangtze River in the future!" Zhao Gou shook his head and said.

He is greedy for life and afraid of death, and after arriving in the south of the Yangtze River, he still needs someone to help him defend the Yangtze River! And Han Shizhong is the most capable general under him, so he will naturally use it for the defense of the Yangtze River!

As for Liu Guangshi, on the one hand Zong Ze looked down on Liu Guangshi, on the other hand, Liu Guangshi himself was not willing to leave Zhao Gou's side at all! In Liu Guangshi's view, only by following Zhao Gou can he be promoted and make a fortune!

In the end, Wang Yan, the commander of the Bazi Army, decided to stay in Kaifeng! More than half of the hundreds of thousands of rebels also decided to stay in Kaifeng! It's just that these rebels lack weapons and food, all of which need to be prepared after Zhao Gou arrives in the south of the Yangtze River!

The night was already dark, the officials had already dispersed, Zhao Gou stood on the attic, looking into the distance!

There is an excited smile on his face! Ever since he was a child, he never expected to become an emperor! But when the Jurchens went south, he finally had a chance to become emperor! Now he has finally realized his long-cherished wish that he never even dared to think about!

It's just that there is still a prince in the west, but the prince is not worth mentioning! On the one hand, he has sent Yang Shi and Zhao Ding to persuade the prince! Even if Yang Shi and Zhao Ding couldn't convince the prince, after he occupied the Central Plains, Jiangnan, Sichuan and other places, the prince only had a mere piece of Hanzhong, so he couldn't compete with him at all!

"It's really impossible, the only way is to send an army to destroy the prince! Can a mere piece of Hanzhong stop my army?" Thinking of this, Zhao Gou laughed out loud!

*** ***

In the early morning of the second day, Yang Shi and Zhao Ding left Shangqiu City and headed west!

They want to go all the way west, first pass Tongguan, and then go from Guanshan to Hanzhong!

The two of them only brought a few followers, but these followers are all masters in the army!

Yang Shi sat in the carriage with a serious expression on his face! Zhao Ding was by his side!

"Mr. Yang, do you think we can convince the prince?" Zhao Ding said.

"No problem! I told the prince about righteousness, and he had to listen!" Yang Shi said.

"If the crown prince doesn't listen, what shall we do?" Zhao Ding said.

"If the prince doesn't listen, then he will ignore the country and the people, and he will be sorry to the country, the people, and the late emperor! Hmph, at that time, I'm afraid we will use force against the prince! Your Majesty has occupied Jiangnan, Sichuan, and the Central Plains. It's easy to regain a mere Hanzhong!" Yang Shi said.

"The Jurchens haven't gone south yet, if we use force against the crown prince, it's probably not a good thing, right?" Zhao Ding frowned.

"For the sake of the country, the people, and the country of the Great Song Dynasty, that is a last resort!" Yang Shi said.

"The crown prince is orthodox after all, and your majesty is the vassal king after all! If your majesty uses force against the prince, I'm afraid the people of the world may not agree with us!" Zhao Ding said.

"We are also for those people! The people are puzzled, so we have to persuade the people! In the future, when His Majesty rules the country and drives out the Tartars, the people will naturally not say anything!" Yang Shi said.

Yang Shi was full of confidence, while Zhao Ding frowned slightly, thinking non-stop!

"It's no small thing to ask for a father and son. He once defeated Jin Bing and is famous all over the world! With them around, it will not be easy for us to take down Hanzhong!" Zhao Ding said again.

Originally, when he was in Heshangyuan, Wu Jie and Wu Lin defeated Jin Bing, but Zhe could ask for credit for it, and people spread it everywhere, saying that they, Zhe's father and son, defeated Jin Bing! Therefore, up to now, few people in the world know about Wu Jie and Wu Lin, but they all think that they can defeat Jin Bing with a discount! Speaking of it, this is the first time Song Bing has defeated Jin Bing on the frontal battlefield since Jurchen invaded the South, so Zhe Keqiu father and son are now very famous! When they defended the Yellow River, they heard the drum and fled, but now no one mentions the past! Even Zhao Ding thought that the father and son of the Zhe family were proficient in military strategy, and the strength of the Zhe family army was extraordinary!

"Although Zhe Keqiu and his son are very important, the place they occupy is too small after all! It's just Hanzhong, they can't resist us! At most, a few more people will die!" Yang Shi said.

Zhao Ding shook his head and said no more!

They set off on May 17th, and by May 25th, they had already arrived at the city of Tongguan!

Now Tongguan has been occupied by the Jurchens, but the Jurchens did not prevent ordinary merchants from entering and exiting Tongguan! A group of them pretended to be merchants, and they even had a pass issued by the Jurchens in their hands! So here they are not much hindered!

After passing through Tongguan, they headed west all the way! They didn't stop when they passed by Chang'an!

On the third day of June, they came to Dasan Pass!

After hearing about their identities, the guards at Dasan Pass did not dare to neglect them, and immediately sent someone to protect them and head to Hanzhong!

On June 17th, the two of them came to Hanzhong! It was dusk now!

It is advisable to receive two people in person!
