Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

"Xiangzhou? Why did we stop there?" Zhao Chen asked in surprise.

"Your Highness, I inquired about the news along the way, and learned that His Royal Highness King Kang is in Xiangzhou! He is the Generalissimo of the World's Army and Horses and is responsible for summoning the world's soldiers and horses. Now the defeated soldiers from Hebei and Hedong have come to Xiangzhou, and the rebels from all over the country have also arrived. Heading towards Xiangzhou! After going to Xiangzhou, you can get the support of these soldiers and horses by revealing your identity! In addition, Master Zongze is also in Xiangzhou! He is very talented in military affairs, and he can also assist His Highness!" Li Gang said.

"Zong Ze?" Zhao Chen was slightly taken aback.

Zong Ze is also a famous official who resisted gold in history! In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, under Li Gang's suggestion, Zongze defended the Kaifeng area and repeatedly defeated Jin Bing! Later, Zong Ze died of illness, and before he died, he said the word "crossing the river" in his mouth, and he never forgot to regain the Central Plains until his death! Zong Ze is famous in history, and another important reason is Yue Fei! Yue Fei was discovered and promoted by Zong Ze himself. It can be said that Zong Ze is Yue Fei's teacher!

"Lord Zongze is well-known in the world, and he is also loyal to the court! As long as Lord Zongze is found, he will definitely support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Li Gang said immediately after seeing the curious light in Zhao Chen's eyes.

"Master Zongze is taking any position now?" Zhao Chen said.

"He is the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, assisting His Royal Highness King Kang!" Li Gang said.

"Kang Kang... my ninth uncle, what kind of person is he?" Zhao Chen thought for a while and said.

"His Royal Highness Kang Wang is quite talented and courageous. He is an outstanding person among the children of the royal family. Otherwise, His Majesty would not have allowed him to be the Grand Marshal of the World! However, I have never dealt with His Highness Kang Wang. What I said They are all rumors, and I don't know exactly what kind of person he is!" Li Gang said.

"King Kang... Song Gaozong Zhao Gou... This man is a famous emperor who seeks peace in history! In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, Li Gang wanted to recover the Central Plains, but he refused! Zong Ze wanted to recover the Central Plains, but he also refused! Yue Fei's Northern Expedition, He had already defeated the main force of the Jin army, and he was about to subdue Kaifeng and hit the bank of the Yellow River, but he called Yue Fei back..." Zhao Chen knew that King Kang was Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty. People want to make peace, and have repeatedly lost power and humiliated the country, so he doesn't have a good impression of Zhao Gou.

"Your Highness, is there something wrong?" Li Gang couldn't help asking strangely when he saw Zhao Chen pondering.

"It's nothing... This Uncle Jiu, I met him back then... I don't have a good impression of him!" Zhao Chen said a lie at this moment.

"Ah?" Li Gang was taken aback, and said, "Why doesn't Your Highness have a good impression of King Kang?"

"I can't say it! I feel that this person has a soft personality, and I'm afraid he won't fight against the golden soldiers with all his heart!" Zhao Chen said.

"This...I'm afraid I can't? If he has a weak personality, how could His Majesty appoint him as the Grand Marshal of the World? I feel that he is a person with a strong character. His Highness is young, and maybe he is wrong! Anyway, If we want to rejuvenate the Great Song Dynasty, we still have to rely on His Royal Highness King Kang! Because now he has the most soldiers and horses under his command!" Li Gang said.

Zhao Chen nodded, but he always felt something was wrong!

They rested in the cave that night, Li Gang was already in a deep sleep, but Zhao Chen was rolling over and over, unable to fall asleep.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Chen got up and came outside the cave. It was the coldest time of the year, and the cold wind was howling. Zhao Chen let the cold wind blow on him, so that he could be more awake.

"Why did Zhao Gou want to call Yue Fei back when Yue Fei won the Northern Expedition? And one order was not enough, he actually issued twelve orders... What is this for? What is it for? He was afraid that Yue Fei would regain the Central Plains? But, Yue Fei regained What harm does the Central Plains do to him?" Zhao Chen asked secretly.

Since coming to this era, Zhao Chen has experienced countless dangers, so he is very vigilant in his heart! He felt it was inappropriate to talk to Li Gang before, so he has been thinking about this issue.

"Yue Fei's Man Jianghong said, 'The shame of Jingkang is still unresolved, the hatred of the courtiers, when will it be destroyed', Jingkang shame, Jingkang shame... Yue Fei's greatest wish in life is to welcome back the second emperor... I understand! I understand!" Zhao Standing in the cold wind, Chen's face suddenly turned pale!

Zhao Gou is not afraid that Yue Fei will regain the Central Plains! Yue Fei's recovery of the Central Plains will only benefit him and not harm him. At that time, Zhao Gouhui will be the master of Zhongxing, and his reputation will shake the world, and even the history books will leave a peerless reputation!

What Zhao Gou was afraid of was that after Yue Fei regained the Central Plains, he would welcome back the Second Emperor! Song Huizong is his father, and Song Qinzong is his elder brother. When these two come back, how should he deal with himself? His throne was not justified in the first place, but now that the justified emperor, the Supreme Emperor, is back, he will definitely surrender his throne! What he is afraid of is losing the throne and losing power!

"It turns out that what Zhao Gou was afraid of was to welcome back the second emperor, so he would rather not let Yue Fei regain the Central Plains! In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, there were many famous officials and generals, Li Gang, Zong Ze, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, etc., all of which were famous in history. Characters, with so many famous officials and generals, and Jin Bing was defeated by the Song Army many times, Jin Wushu was defeated by Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Wu Jie, Wu Lin, etc., but the Southern Song Dynasty was still unable to regain the Central Plains... Every time At the critical moment, Zhao Gou will ask for peace, and Zhao Gou will let the generals retreat...just because Zhao Gou doesn't want to regain the Central Plains, he is afraid that those famous ministers and generals will welcome the second emperor back..."

"He attaches so much importance to the throne and power... Now that the father and the Supreme Emperor are captured, if the history remains unchanged, he will become the emperor... But now that the history has changed, my prince has survived, and he wants to become the emperor. , First of all, kill me, the prince! Not good!"

Zhao Chen finally understood where the "wrongness" was. Standing there, he felt a little chilly in his body!

"I can't go to Xiangzhou! If I go to Xiangzhou, I'm afraid it will be a dead end!" Zhao Chen said secretly.

He looked at the sky above his head, it was dark now, and the sky made him feel extremely oppressed! Since coming to this era, crisis seems to have never left him!

Li Gang is now leading him all the way towards Xiangzhou. Li Gang thought that His Highness the Crown Prince could rejuvenate the Song Dynasty by relying on King Kang, Zong Ze and others, but Zhao Chen knew that it would not work at all! King Kang only wanted to be emperor, and King Kang would not tolerate a young prince competing with him. If he went to Xiangzhou, he would only die!

"I want to think about how to persuade Li Gang!" Zhao Chen secretly said.

*** ***

In the early morning of the second day, Li Gang woke up, and the two continued their journey north.

Along the way, Zhao Chen wanted to dissuade Li Gang, but he couldn't come up with a valid reason after thinking about it for a long time! He couldn't say that Zhao Gou wanted to be the emperor, so he was not allowed to survive as the crown prince! Now that Zhao Gou's bad deeds are not obvious, even if he tells it, Li Gang will not believe it!

Zhao Chen became more and more anxious, and he couldn't help but want to escape here alone!

Along the way, more and more people appeared gradually!

In the afternoon, a big city appeared in front of them, it was Xiangzhou City! There are people coming and going here, and there is a scene of prosperity in troubled times! Moreover, many of them are soldiers here, including the Forbidden Army of the Song Dynasty, the Western Army, and the King Qin Army from all walks of life!

Although Jin Bing came all the way south to Kaifeng City, they spent most of the time marching in a hurry! They occupied Hebei, Hedong, and Henan in name, but in fact they only took down some cities. Many cities are still occupied by the Han people, and Xiangzhou City is one of them! Now Xiangzhou City has become the most important city in the north, because Generalissimo Zhao Gou is here, and all armies are also gathering here!

"No, I can't go to Xiangzhou City!" Looking at Xiangzhou City in the distance, Zhao Chen only felt a huge crisis, he said secretly.

If Li Gang must go to Xiangzhou City, he will leave now!

"His Royal Highness, please wait here for a while, I will go to inquire about the situation in Xiangzhou City first! Although King Kang and Zongze are well-known in the world, we have never dealt with them. If we want to take over the world's army from them, we must Just get to know their temperament and the situation in Xiangzhou City!" Li Gang said.

"Okay!" Zhao Chen nodded.

Since Li Gang has no plans to enter Xiangzhou City for the time being, Zhao Chen will not leave for the time being. Standing on the edge of the city, he looked at the Han people walking out, and he had an unusually cordial feeling! For more than a month, they trekked all the way, and most of what they saw every day were desolate scenes. Occasionally, they passed by villages with dead bodies everywhere. Now they finally saw so many living Han people!

"Kang Wang Zhao Gou, he has so many troops... If he goes to Kaifeng, he may not be able to rescue the father and the Supreme Emperor... But in history, it has never been heard that Kang Wang Zhao Gou went to Kaifeng! Perhaps, father He is the happiest in his heart that the Emperor and the Supreme Emperor have been captured!" Zhao Chen said secretly.

At this time, there was a commotion at the gate of Xiangzhou City, and a group of cavalry came out from there! These cavalry are all silver helmets and silver armor, they look unusually mighty and beautiful, the leader is a young general, and that young general is extremely handsome! When Zhao Chen saw this young general from a distance, his eyes lit up, and a word "Zhao Yun" suddenly came to his mind! It would be most appropriate for this young general to play the handsome young general Zhao Yun in Romance of the Three Kingdoms!

"There is such a handsome man in the world, who is this man?" Zhao Chen asked secretly, curious.

At this moment, there was faint discussion from the side, and Zhao Chen was taken aback when he heard "Liu Guangshi", "General Liu" and so on, thinking more and more that this was Liu Guangshi, the famous ZTE general in the early Southern Song Dynasty!

Liu Guangshi is the son of a family of generals of the Western Army, and his father Liu Yanqing was the number two figure in the Western Army back then, second only to Master Zhong! The Liu family army is also the strongest army in the western army after the Zhong family army! It's a pity that both Liu Yanqing and Liu Guangshi are greedy for life and afraid of death. In history, the Song Army united with the Jin Dynasty and Liu Yanqing served as the coach. He was defeated by the Liao Army, and Liu Guangshi was also demoted! But soon, the Jin soldiers invaded, Liu Guangshi did not go to Kaifeng King Qin, but went to Xiangzhou City to follow Kang Wang Zhao Gou, Liu Guangshi said to his subordinates, "there is nothing better than escorting", he is the first general in history to follow Zhao Gou ! After Zhao Gou succeeded to the throne, he continued to reward Liu Guangshi. Liu Guangshi was the first famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty to be enshrined as a military envoy, and he was also the head of the seven kings later. His ranking surpassed Yue Fei and Han Shizhong!

However, this person did not have much military exploits. This person mainly relied on several generals under his command, among which Wang De ranked first, but Wang De has now been subdued by Zhao Chen!

"So Liu Guangshi is so handsome!" Zhao Chen thought to himself.

Liu Guangshi came out with the cavalry, glanced around from a distance, his face was full of pride! Although there are many soldiers and horses in Xiangzhou City now, most of them are routs, and some are rebels composed of peasants! Liu Guangshi looked down on these routs and rebels very much. This time, he came to Xiangzhou City with Liu's army without any loss, and his strength was far better than these routs and rebels! Now Kang Wang and Zhao Gou also value him very much, and he has also been named "Deputy Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses", but his deputy marshal is not canonized by the emperor, so some names are not right!

"Kaifeng City was besieged, His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor were captured, and now only His Royal Highness Kang Wang escaped from the siege! His Highness Kang Wang will definitely become emperor in the future. I will follow His Highness first, and I have the merit of escorting him. After His Royal Highness succeeds to the throne, I will be greatly rewarded. One Jiedushi is indispensable! It's just that there are rumors that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has escaped from Kaifeng City, if so, it's not good! The Crown Prince succeeds to the throne, but I don't have any benefits!" Liu Guangshi rode his horse forward and said secretly.

Suddenly, Liu Guangshi caught a glimpse of a young man in the distance, his eyes showed a puzzled expression, and felt that this young man was somewhat familiar! But soon, he galloped away from here.
