At that time, when they heard that Emperor Huizong wanted to confer the title of King of Yan on Pharmacist Guo, cede the land of Yanjing to him, and make him guard it for generations, and he would not have to go to the DPRK for pilgrimage in the future, and he would only listen to the tune but not the announcement, all the ministers in the court were shocked, including Cai Jing, Wang Fu, Gao Qiu, Cai You, Yang Jian, Li Bangyan and other treacherous officials and traitors were also surprised. This group of treacherous officials and thieves have spent their entire lives opportunistically and sycophantically, but they have never gotten along with the prince. Now that Guo Yaoshi has become a prince because he defected to the Kingdom of Jin, how can this group of treacherous officials and thieves not be jealous and resentful? ! However, Emperor Huizong was the only one who followed his lead and was the guideline for this group of treacherous ministers and traitors. Since Emperor Huizong wanted to confer the title of King of Yan on Pharmacist Guo, these traitorous ministers and traitors expressed their enthusiastic support even though they were not happy in their hearts.
At that time, Emperor Huizong saw that all the ministers were very surprised, so he said: "My lords, this is an expedient policy. As long as Medicine Master Guo guards Yanjing for me, prevents Jin soldiers from invading south, and the mainland is protected, things will be fine in the future." Do something.”
Sure enough, when Emperor Huizong said this, Cai Jing, Wang Fu and other treacherous officials and traitors took the lead in shouting: "My emperor is wise! Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!"
The matter was settled like this. Cai Jing had no choice but to leave Beijing again and came to Yanjing to instigate Guo Yaoshi, who had defected to the Jin Kingdom. Wang Anzhong was appointed as the Jin Marshal of the Yanjing area. He also left Bianjing and headed north, organizing soldiers and horses along the way to prepare to resist the Jin soldiers moving south. Tong Guan and Tan Zhen, who were stationed in Jinyang, received the order and urgently prepared their troops and horses to prepare for a battle with the Jin army. At the same time, the troops guarding Zhongshidao and Yao Zhongping in the northwest also rushed to Bianjing.
In Yanjing City, after Jia Shizhong and Cai Jing parted ways, he rode his horse to Zhao Liangsi's mansion to see his sworn brother Zhao Liangsi.
Jia Shizhong rode his horse to the front of Zhao Liangsi's mansion and saw that the plaque above the gate no longer said "Zhao Mansion" but "Yin Mansion". Jia Shizhong was shocked, jumped off his horse, led the horse forward, and asked the yamen servant in front of the door: "Isn't this the residence of Secretary Zhao of the imperial court? How did it become the 'Yin Mansion'?" The yamen servant looked at Jia Shizhong. He glanced at him and said, "Who are you? You must have two ears. Haven't you heard that Zhao Liangsi has been demoted to Hunan by the Holy Emperor? This place is now the residence of Master Yin." Jia Shizhong asked: "Which Master Yin?" The doorman He replied: "Which Mr. Yin still needs to tell you? You are not allowed to stay in the official residence. Leave quickly!" With that, he drove Jia Shizhong away with a gun.
When Jia Shizhong saw this, he glared at the yamen servant. He was about to get angry and beat the yamen servant violently to vent his anger. However, considering the many inconveniences in the capital, there might be some who could not escape if trouble was caused. . So Jia Shizhong suppressed his desire to beat up the Yamen servant and pulled his horse away.
On the street, Jia Shizhong inquired with idlers and learned that Zhao Liangsi had been demoted to Yongzhou, Hunan, and that Zhao Liangsi's mansion had been purchased by Yin Tianxi, brother-in-law of Gao Taiwei. After learning about this situation, Jia Shizhong did not stay in Bianjing, but galloped towards Dayu Mountain in Daming Prefecture.
Besides, Long Si and others, under Jia Shizhong's order, rushed back to the manor and informed Yin Zhi, Gold, Silver, Bronze and Iron Sixia girl, Wu Ma and others about the situation.
Yinzhi said: "Since the young master of the village has arranged it like this, quickly pack up your luggage and leave this place and go to Dayu Mountain."
Long Si asked Wu Ma and other dealers whether they should stay or leave. Everyone is willing to go to Dayu Mountain to escape the troubled times.
Long Si then asked people to tidy up their shapes and make them soft. Yin Zhi, Wu Ma and other women rode in carriages, and the gold, silver, copper and iron girl Sixia and other village guests left the manor on horseback or on foot.
Long Si set people on fire and set the village on fire. The fire immediately broke out. Long Si urged everyone on the road to look at Daming Mansion.
When Jia Shizhong arrived at Dayu Mountain, Yinzhi and others had not yet arrived. Jia Shizhong told Xu Guanzhong, Chai Jin, Yan Qing, Ruan Xiaoqi and others about the situation. When those people saw this, they were all shocked. Xu Guanzhong said: "Guo Yaoshi sacrificed the Yanshan Mansion, so the Jin soldiers will definitely push forward and invade the Central Plains. It is reported that the Central Plains is close to the Yanshan Mansion area, and the guard troops and horses have been reduced by the Holy One. It is almost impossible to defend there. If the worst happens, It is possible that the Jin soldiers will drive directly to Anyang, strengthen the Yellow River, and approach Bianjing City."
Everyone looked at Xu Guanzhong in surprise.
Xu Guanzhong also looked at everyone and said: "As far as I know, the imperial troops are mainly concentrated in Yunshuo and Jinyang. If you want to resist the Jin soldiers, you can only contact Jinyang Guangyang County Wang Tongguan, Xuanfu Envoy Tan Zhen, and General Wang Zhen and others are looking for the guard general Han Minyi and other generals in Yizhou and other places to see if they can prevent the Jin soldiers from invading."
Chai Jin, Yan Qing, and Ruan Xiaoqi said: "Master, we are willing to go to Yunshuo and Jinyang to meet with Privy Council Tong and help defend Yunshuo and Jinyang. We once conquered Fangla in the south under the command of Privy Council Tong. It's time for the imperial court to hire people, so Privy Tong will definitely not frame us."
Xu Guanzhong said: "If the officials want to go to Yunshuo and Jinyang, there is no problem, but brothers Xiao Yi and Xiao Qi can't?"
Yan Qing and Ruan Xiaoqi asked anxiously: "Why can't it be done?"
Xu Guanzhong said: "If the Jin army marches straight in and crosses the Yellow River, Bianjing will be in danger! Brother Yanqing should go to Yanjing, pick up the master and bring him to Dayu Mountain to repay everything. The seventh brother is eighty years old. The old mother needs to be taken care of, and the cottage also needs brave men to guard it. Therefore, the Xiaoqi brothers should stay in the cottage to ensure that the cottage is safe.
Yan Qing and Ruan Xiaoqi said nothing.
Xu Guanzhong looked at Jia Shizhong and said: "The young village master is familiar with the situation in the Yanjing area. Pindao and the young village master went to Yanjing to search for the soldiers and horses left behind by the imperial court and organize the royalties. There are thousands of high-ranking officials in Jinyang, looking for children. Privy Guantong, assist in controlling the gold."
Jia Shizhong and Chai Jin replied loudly: "Okay! Just do as the master said."
Xu Guanzhong also said hello, and then said: "The situation is changing rapidly. If there is any unforeseen situation, please return to Dayu Mountain immediately and we will make further plans."
At the moment, we split up and prepared not to mention it. On the second day, just as everyone was about to set off, Yinzhi and others arrived at Dayu Mountain. At this time, Yinzhi was pregnant. After Long Si and others arrived at Daming Mansion, they headed towards Dayu Mountain. When they reached the base of the mountain, the carriage could not pass, so Miss Sixia took care of Yinzhi and rode into the mountain.
Jia Shizhong was overjoyed to see Yinzhi and the bankers arriving. Only Chai Jin quietly hid in the room. Jia Shizhong followed Yinzhi and whispered to him: "Chai Jinchai, the official is also on the mountain. At present, everyone is just loyal to the court. Let's let it go. After my wife met the official, everything Don’t have an attack, it won’t look good on your face.”
Just now, Chai Jin, the official of Chai State, also saw Yinzhi. Chai Jin met Yinzhi and remembered the scene with Jinzhi and Yinzhi in Bangyuan Cave, and felt infinite regret in his heart. Chai Jin thought to himself, if he had known this, why bother in the beginning. At the beginning, if it was known that Princess Jinzhi would hang herself, she would have coaxed Princess Jinzhi out of Bangyuan Cave and placed her in a safe place before betraying her. There is no use regretting now. Chai Jin felt hurt for Yinzhi in his heart, but he had no way to make up for it. Chai Jin silently put his bone-piercing steel gun on his back, left the room, walked towards the stable boy, and pulled out the chasing horse from inside. This horse was brought by Chai Jin from Cangzhou. Chai Jin got on his horse and prepared to go down the mountain to contact Privy Council Tong Guantong in Jinyang.
Xu Guanzhong suddenly appeared in front of Chai Jin's horse.
Xu Guanzhong knew the grievances between Chai Jin and Princess Yinzhi best. He knew that Yinzhi and Chai Jin had an sworn hatred. He also knew that after Yinzhi went up the mountain, there would inevitably be a fight between Yinzhi and Chai Jin. Xu Guanzhong had anticipated this situation, and he was prepared to persuade both parties to reconcile at the appropriate time.
Just now, when Yinzhi was going up the mountain, Xu Guanzhong saw Chai Jin returning to his room silently. After letting Yinzhi and his party sit down in the thatched cottage, he ignored the greetings and came to find Chai Jin. He wanted to tell Chai Jin not to meet Yinzhi for the time being. Xu Guanzhong left the thatched cottage and walked towards Chai Jin's house. He saw Chai Jin carrying a bone-piercing steel gun and heading towards the horse boy, so he rushed over and met Chai Jin coming out leading the horse chasing the wind.
Seeing Xu Guanzhong standing in front of him, he hurriedly bowed and said: "Master, I will go to Jinyang right away and contact Privy Tong. If there is any situation, I will inform the master in time." Xu Guanzhong also bowed to Chai Jin and said: "Master Pindao knows the situation of the officials well. Yinzhi going up the mountain will definitely cause a lot of inconvenience. It is also a good thing for the officials to go to Jinyang at this time. All the grudges will be worn away in time. The most important thing is, Pindao will give it to the officials. See you off."
Chai Jin got on his horse, bowed to Xu Guanzhong on horseback, and said loudly: "It is righteousness for a man to be loyal to his emperor and serve his country when he is born in this world! We say goodbye and see you again." After saying this, he rode away.
Xu Guanzhong watched Chai Jin riding his horse down the mountain before returning to the thatched cottage and chatting with Yinzhi and others.
On the same day, Yinzhi and his party were settled on Dayu Mountain, and Yan Qing went to Bianjing to find Li Shishi; Xu Guanzhong and Jia Shizhong took Long Si and more than ten people to Yanjing to find Han Minyi, the guard of Yizhou. He wanted to assist him in guarding Yizhou and the mainland.
At this time, Guo Pharmacist followed Wanyan Zongwang and the Jin soldiers and horses out of Yanjing, defeated Zhongshan and Zhending, and invaded Yizhou.
On the west route, Wanyan Nianhan also led his army to attack Yunshuo and approached Jinyang City.
Seeing the Jin army invade Yizhou, guard Han Minyi led more than 10,000 old, weak, sick and disabled Xiang troops to fight. As soon as they faced off, they were overrun by the Jin army. The Xiang army of the Song Dynasty was originally used to prepare for war, and its main responsibility was to maintain local security. It was only used as a reserve when the forbidden army was not enough. Because he trusted Pharmacist Guo too much, Huizong reduced all the imperial troops in the Yanjing area except for the Wu Tai Army. At this time, there were no more troops available, so the Xiang Army led by Han Minyi could only deal with it for a while.
When Xu Guanzhong, Jia Shizhong, Long Si and others arrived in Yizhou, they encountered the Jin army who had dispersed the Yizhou Xiang army and was chasing them across the mountains and plains.
Seeing this, Xu Guanzhong, Jia Shizhong and others rode their horses into the formation and fought against the Jin army. Gradually, the Yizhou Xiang army was defeated and disappeared, and even Han Minyi surrendered to the Jin army. Xu Guanzhong, Jia Shizhong and others had no choice but to break out of the siege and make further plans.
