Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

"Your Highness, it's getting dark and we can't leave the palace! It's impossible for us to find General Wang!" said an eunuch after hesitating for a moment.

Only then did Zhao Chen realize that it was already night and the palace gates were closed. No one could leave the palace unless there was an imperial order from the emperor!

"What should I do? What should I do? How is Wang De preparing?"

Zhao Chen was anxious, he kept pacing in the room! The sound of rain outside made him even more irritable. Occasionally, thunder and lightning flashed, illuminating the room brightly, but Zhao Chen felt a sense of shock in his heart!

*** ***

In the early morning of the second day, Song Qinzong once again called a group of ministers to discuss the Jin soldiers' invasion of the south.

It's just that this time, whether it's Song Qinzong or the ministers, they have a lot more anxiety in their hearts! The three northern towns were conquered, and they also felt tremendous pressure in their hearts!

As the prince, Zhao Chen did not participate in the court meeting this time. Song Qinzong originally asked Zhao Chen to participate in the court meeting in order to increase Zhao Chen's knowledge, but Zhao Chen said some ridiculous things one after another, which made Song Qinzong unhappy. He was afraid that Zhao Chen would say some ridiculous things again, which would make it difficult for him and the ministers to step down, so he didn't call Zhao Chen over.

"Zhang Aiqing, didn't you say that the three northern towns would definitely be able to stop the Jin soldiers? Now, in just over a month, all the three northern towns have fallen. What do you say?" Song Qinzong looked at Zhang Bangchang below and said with an angry face.

"Your Majesty, I also... I never thought that the guards of the three northern towns would be so incompetent! The three northern towns are solid, but any guard with a little bit of ability and a little bit of integrity will not fall!" Zhang Bangchang's head was full. sweat! To be honest, Jin Bing broke through the three northern towns, and he was a little unexpected! But he didn't want to think about it, Zhongshan and Hejian were fine, Taiyuan City was trapped for more than half a year, and the Song court did not send a single soldier, did not give a grain of food, how could they expect Taiyuan City to stick to it?

"Okay, now is not the time to discuss crimes! You all talk about it, how to deal with Jin Bing now?" Song Qinzong suppressed the anger and terror in his heart, and his voice gradually became stable.

"Your Majesty, there is still an army of Zhong Shidao in Hebei! Zhong Shidao is the number one in the Western Army, and the Zhong Family Army is also the strongest army in the Western Army. They may be able to stop the Jin soldiers!" Sun Fu, Minister of the Ministry of War, stood up, road.

"Cultivating a teacher's way...a family army!" Song Qinzong nodded lightly.

The army of the Great Song Dynasty is divided into the Forbidden Army and the Western Army. The Forbidden Army has limited combat power. Over the years, the Western Army has been conquests from east to west! The Western Army had confronted Xixia for many years, winning and losing with Xixia. When Fang La rebelled, it was also the Western Army who went to conquer Fang La! There are countless factions in the Western Army, the largest of which is the Zhong Family Army!

That kind of family is a family of soldiers and generals in the northwest. For more than a hundred years, from Zhong Shiheng to Zhong Shidao, famous generals of the Zhong family have emerged in large numbers! The current Zhong Shi Dao is originally the Northwest Economic and Strategic Envoy, in charge of the Western Army! In the novels of the Ming Dynasty, the Water Margin also highly respects the way of teachers. In the Water Margin, Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi and others all came from the "old businessman", and countless heroes often refer to the "old businessman". Being a good businessman is a kind of teacher's way! After Jin Bing went south for the first time, Zhong Shidao was sent to Hebei as the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei. One hundred thousand kinds of family troops also went to Hebei with Zhong Shidao and stationed in Hebei!

Thinking of the way of being a teacher, Song Qinzong felt a little relieved.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance of Funing Hall, as if someone was shouting something.

"What happened?" Song Qinzong asked hastily.

"Your Majesty, some members of the Privy Council have brought Hebei soldiers over, saying that there is an urgent military situation, and they must report it to His Majesty and all the ministers immediately!" The guard at the door ran in and said.

"Urgent military situation? Hurry up! Announce!" Song Qinzong hurriedly said.

After a while, I saw an official of the Privy Council leading a few ordinary Song soldiers into the Palace of Funing! Those soldiers looked extremely embarrassed. Their faces hadn't been washed for an unknown amount of time, and they were pitch black, and their clothes were covered in dust! All of them have wounds on their bodies, but the wounds have scabbed over, and some wounds are on their faces, which look extremely terrifying! Their expressions are extremely tired, and they don't know how long they haven't rested!

"My ministers see Your Majesty!" The officials of the Privy Council and several soldiers knelt down one after another and said in unison.

"Which army are you sergeants?" Song Qinzong hurriedly asked after these people had kneeled down and bowed nine times.

"Your Majesty, we are the sergeants of the Western Army, Master Zhong Dao Zhong!" A soldier stood up and said.

"It turned out to be a kind of teacher's way?" Song Qinzong was startled, and he faintly felt that something was wrong.

"Tell me quickly, how is the Zhong family army doing now? Jinbing went south, did you encounter them?" Zhang Bangchang asked loudly.

"We...we met Jinbing!" said the soldier.

"Oh? You really met the golden soldiers? Then did you block the golden soldiers?" Zhang Bangchang said again.

There were hesitant and ashamed expressions on the faces of several soldiers. Song Qinzong saw their expressions and immediately knew that it was not good!

Taking a deep breath, Song Qinzong said in a deep voice, "Did you block the golden soldiers?"

It was still the soldier who spoke before. He knelt down suddenly and cried, "Your Majesty, I deserve to die! The Jin soldiers are extremely fierce, and our family army is no match for them at all! Our 100,000 family army was killed The Jurchens who were less than 10,000 were defeated, and almost the entire army was wiped out! Mr. Zhong packed up the remnants and led the remnants back all the way! At that time, the army was in chaos, and no one knew whether they could retreat to the other side of the Yellow River or return to Kaifeng! Mr. Zhong ordered us to bring a message to His Majesty!"

"What message?" Song Qinzong said hastily.

"Your Majesty Chong said... that the Jin soldiers are coming in menacingly, which is very different from the last time! They are no longer trying to test the strength of our Great Song Dynasty, but intend to destroy the country...He asked Your Majesty...you to escape Kaifeng immediately and take refuge in Chang'an If you stay here, you will only die! He said, with the strength of our Song Dynasty, no army can stop the Jin soldiers!" Da Bing cried.

"What?" Song Qinzong was taken aback!

The Zhong family army is the strongest army in the Song Dynasty, and Zhong Shidao is the strongest general in the current army. They are so vulnerable to the Jin soldiers? One hundred thousand kinds of family troops were wiped out by an army of ten thousand gold soldiers? He had heard the saying that the Jurchens were invincible before. He thought it was an exaggeration, but he didn't expect it to be true!

As for what Zhong Shidao said about escaping from Kaifeng and going to Chang'an, this is almost the same as what the prince said that day about "moving the capital"! In order to prevent "stains" from being left on the history books, Song Qinzong would never do this! He is indecisive, and in his opinion, "fame" is more important! Moreover, he didn't think that Kaifeng City couldn't stop Jin Bing!

"We still have the danger of the Yellow River! Yes, there is also the danger of the Yellow River! Relying on the danger of the Yellow River, we can stop the golden soldiers!" Zhao Huan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly said.

"Your Majesty is right. We are still in danger of the Yellow River! The golden soldiers are all cavalry. If they cross the river, we can attack them halfway to make it difficult for them to pass!" Zhang Bangchang hurriedly echoed Song Qinzong's words.

"Do we still have available troops?" Zhao Huan asked.

"Your Majesty, there are still more than 200,000 troops in the Western Army! Especially Fuzhou Guard General Zhe Keqiu, Zhe Yanzhi and his father and son, their more than 100,000 Zhe family troops are now in the Tongguan area, and they can come to the south bank of the Yellow River to stop the Jin army at any time." Soldiers!" Sun Fu said.

"Come here, declare the decree immediately... Order Zhe Keqiu to be the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi, and Zhe Yanzhi to be the envoy for the defense of the Yellow River. River!" Zhao Huan hurriedly said.

"Your Majesty, it may be difficult to stop the Jin soldiers by relying on the Zhejia army now! It's time to order the four kings of the world!" Li Bangyan, the young prime minister, said.

When the Jin soldiers went south for the first time, the Song Dynasty declared a war emergency. Song Qinzong panicked and divided the world into four roads and 23 roads. Uncle Zhang of Dengzhou is in charge of the South Road, and Hu Zhiru of Zhiying Tianfu is in charge of the East Road. These four ways of recruiting troops were unified and responsible to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion established in Dengzhou, and Kang Wang Zhao Gou was appointed by Zhao Huan as the Metropolitan Governor at that time, in charge of specific matters! Now Zhao Gou is still in Dengzhou, and the four ways of the world have not withdrawn.

"That's right, let the four kings of the world serve as kings immediately!" Song Qinzong said hastily.

After making so many decisions, Song Qinzong felt relaxed in his heart, no longer as if a boulder was pressing on his heart!

It was already afternoon, and the officials dispersed one after another. Song Qinzong thought of the prince Zhao Chen, and asked, "What is the prince doing these days?"

"The prince has been practicing martial arts with Wang De, the imperial army! Even these days, he has been practicing diligently! His Royal Highness said that only by practicing martial arts well can we recover the country. If you don't learn martial arts, you may not even be able to protect yourself." Mr. Liu, who was delivered by Zhao Chen, was fair.

"This Chen'er, since he lost his memory, his temperament has changed drastically, and he actually said so many ridiculous things! He is the prince, and after a hundred years, he will be the emperor! Does the emperor need to go to battle in person to regain the country? His side doesn't know How many guards are there to protect him, does he still need to practice martial arts to protect himself?" Song Qinzong laughed.

"Your Majesty, do you want to stop the prince from continuing to practice martial arts?" Mr. Liu said fairly.

"That's not necessary! He is practicing martial arts now, so he has something to do, so that he won't talk nonsense in other places! After a while, after Jin Bing retreats, I will find him a suitable teacher and continue to teach him to read!" Song Qin Zongdao.

*** ***

At this moment, Zhao Chen is with Wang De.

It was still raining outside, and they were all sitting in the East Palace.

I only heard Zhao Chen ask: "How is the matter going?"

Wang Dedao: "Your Highness, the general finally found such a child who looks very similar to you... But what are you going to do, Your Highness?"

"Do you have any way to bring that child into the palace?" Zhao Chen asked instead of answering Wang De's question.

"Bring it into the palace?" Wang De was stunned.

After a while, Wang De shook his head and said, "The last general doesn't have such abilities!"

How tightly guarded the palace is! Here are the real masters like clouds! It is difficult for a fly to fly in. How can he bring a child into the palace?

In fact, Zhao Chen's idea is also very simple, that is to use a child as his substitute! At that time, if the golden soldiers surround Kaifeng, Kaifeng city is broken, and the golden soldiers let the prince out, he only needs to hand over the child! As for whether the child is alive or dead, he has no control over it.

"Aren't you a congenital master? Couldn't a congenital master be able to bring people into the palace?" Zhao Chen said.

"The palace is well-defended, and there are no dead spots! Even a congenital expert who trespasses into the palace will only have a dead end. I am afraid that only a master-level congenital master can enter the palace quietly!" Wang De shook his head.

"Damn it!" Zhao Chen cursed secretly.
