Yu Wenxuzhong, Fan Ne and Fan Qiong were all stunned when they heard Zhao Huan ask about his father - they knew that Zhao Ji wanted to conquer in person, but they didn't know that Zhao Ji was really far away from Kaifeng Fucheng... They could Zhao Ji was not seen on the front line, and the troops stationed at Chenqiaoyi, Xucheng, Fengqiu and other places did not report meeting a Song Dynasty official.
Is it possible that the officials were recruited in private?
"Your Highness," Yu Wenxuzhong was the first to react after being stunned for a while, "When did the official family leave the city, and where did they go?"
"The day before yesterday, we left Jingyang Gate early in the morning the day before yesterday," Zhao Huan said. "Together with Tong Guan, Gao Qiu, and Zhang Shizheng, they led ten thousand elite soldiers and several thousand civilians. After leaving the city, they headed north. Crossed the Wuzhang River!"
The official family is about to end!
Yuwen Xuzhong, Fan Ne and Fan Qiong all felt their hearts sinking: after crossing the Wuzhang River... that's towards the Sanshan Floating Bridge! How can it be better? What are the so-called elites in Kaifeng City? Do the four of them still know? In other words, Tong Guan's two thousand victorious army can still fight a dozen. The other defeated troops should have collapsed as soon as they saw the Sanshan Bridge collapsed! If these people collapse, the remaining two thousand victorious troops will definitely collapse as well!
"Your Highness, the Guan family is in danger!" Yu Wenxuzhong became anxious when he thought of this, "We have to find a way to rescue the Guan family!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen very unkind looks were cast towards him.
It turns out that Zhang Bangchang, Bai Shizhong, Geng Nanzhong, Wu Min, Wang Zongliu (Zhao Huan's uncle, in charge of the affairs of the former company of Goudian) and other officials from the prince's faction (Zhang Bangchang was not originally from Zhao Huan, but now he has joined) were all in Longzhou. Accompanying Zhao Huan, everyone cast vicious glances - Can we not let go of this official family?
Zhang Bangchang, Bai Shizhong, and Geng Nanzhong can do without Zhao Ji as an official, but Zhao Huan cannot do without Zhao Ji as his biological father!
The great Song Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, could it be done without a father? Even if Zhao Ji was arrested by the Jin people, Zhao Huan would still have to cry and shout "Welcome a saint"!
Thinking of this, Zhao Huan nodded heavily, "The Gu family will go out of the city to find the father in person... pass on the Gu family's order and set sail!"
sail?
Yuwen Xuzhong, Fan Ne, and Fan Qiong were all confused. How could they sail the boat?
After the official family crossed the Wuzhang River, they should go to the Sanshan Floating Bridge. If you want to get back to the official family, you have to ride a horse. Where can you find a boat? Go to Jiangnan to find dad? Can you find it?
"I accept the order!" Wang Zongliu, who served as the official of Guangoudian's front company after Gao Qiu left the city, immediately received the order and left the cabin without waiting for Yu Wenxuzhong and others to raise objections, and went to give the order to sail the ship.
This is not a ship, but dozens of mighty official ships protecting the dragon boat Zhao Huan is riding. One after another, they sail out of the large pond in Genyue and pass through the artificial river called "Qujiang". The river entered the moat of the inner city of Kaifeng Prefecture, and then slowly sailed along the moat to the Bian River in the south of Kaifeng Prefecture. After entering the Bianhe River, we drove southeast to Shangshan Water Gate in the southeast corner of Kaifeng Mansion.
Dozens of official ships and a large dragon boat were sailing together. The movement was huge!
In addition, many of the remaining defeated generals had followed Yu Wenxuzhong back to Kaifeng Mansion. Now the bad news of "the defeat of the three armies and the impending flood" has spread throughout Kaifeng Mansion!
Therefore, the common people in Kaifeng Mansion, who had sharp eyes and minds like mirrors, immediately understood what happened as soon as they saw the "Dalong Fleet" leaving Genyue and starting to sail towards the Bianhe River!
The flood is coming! The Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo, Song Dynasty, which has the highest housing prices in the world (and probably in the world), can no longer be acquired!
Since Kaifeng Mansion is about to be flooded by the flood, the group of armed people in Kaifeng Mansion City who love the Song Dynasty can no longer stop Zhao Huan. Can they stop Zhao Huan, and can they also stop the surging Yellow River water?
If the water of the Yellow River really rushes in, you won't be able to live in a high-rise building! How strong a tall building must be to withstand the floods of the Yellow River? Even if he could hold it, he would still starve to death after being trapped in the flood for dozens of days... So the big guy had no choice but to escape with Zhao Huan!
For a time, the common people, officials and gentry in Kaifeng Prefecture, those who had boats took boats, those who had cars rode in cars, and those who had horses and donkeys to ride, all took them. Those who had nothing, just helped the old and the young to the Bianhe River. Come... When the big dragon boat Zhao Huan was riding sailed out of Shangshan Water Gate in the southeast corner of Kaifeng Prefecture, the size of the fleet had reached hundreds of ships, and there were actually three people and gentry accompanying them on the south bank of the Bianhe River. There are as many as 400,000, which is really a huge and huge crowd!
Standing on the deck of the dragon boat, he saw countless people on the south bank of the Bianhe River, supporting the elderly and the young, and then looking at the city of Kaifeng that was gradually going away, Zhao Huan almost shed tears - he finally left the city of Kaifeng. It’s a dangerous place, and there are so many people following! It seems that this prince is still popular! Much stronger than Saburo, when he ran away, only a few thousand people followed him...
Zhao Huan was surrounded by a group of ministers. Among them, Zhang Bangchang was closest to him. When he saw Zhao Huan crying, he thought he was blaming himself for losing Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo, so he comforted him and said: "Your Highness, Emperor Taizu felt that Kaifeng Mansion It is the place of the Fourth War, and there is no danger to defend it. There are often plans to move the capital, but unfortunately it cannot be done. Today, His Highness led hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians of Kaifeng Mansion to move eastward, which can be regarded as fulfilling the last wish of Emperor Taizu... "
Geng Nanzhong, who knew the Privy Council, also came over and said to Zhao Huan: "Your Highness, what Prime Minister Zhang said is very good... If we have the power to defeat thieves in the field, it would be okay to make the capital Kaifeng. But we don't have such power. Moreover, the land of Yanshan, which could shield the Central Plains, was gained and lost again. For the gold thief, Kaifeng Mansion was a place where he could come and leave whenever he wanted, just like in his own yard.
If the imperial court is trapped in Kaifeng Mansion and cannot escape, the golden thief can use Kaifeng Mansion as a hostage to continue to coerce us and drive us to death! "
If Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan were compared to one hundred thousand golden soldiers, this Kaifeng city would be a noose holding the Song Dynasty!
As long as the Song Dynasty was unable to move its capital or defeat the Jin Kingdom in field battles, the Jin Kingdom could continue to march towards Kaifeng Prefecture, station troops near the Sanshan Floating Bridge, and use the digging of the Yellow River embankment as a threat to force the Song Dynasty to use its precious troops in waves. The waves are sent to the Wannian Xindi.
As long as the Jin soldiers stay high and defend, they can continue to consume the Song army's effective strength!
As a result, even if the Song Dynasty had a hero like Li Shimin, it would not be able to accumulate enough troops to fight the Jin Kingdom in the wilderness... Defeat would be a matter of time.
And now Zhao Ji, who had the equivalent of 50,000 gold soldiers, had become "Zhuangzong". The noose around the Song Dynasty's neck, Kaifeng Fucheng, was successfully abandoned because of the "flood panic"!
Only Zhao Huan, whose destructive power was equivalent to 50,000 gold soldiers, was not captured by the gold thieves...
...
Just when Zhao Huan was looking at the Kaifeng City Wall glowing golden in the sun, with his face full of sadness and his heart filled with joy, he suddenly discovered that the Kaifeng City in the distance was no longer getting smaller, and the scenery on both sides of the bank was no longer slow. Backwards!
Zhao Huan immediately realized that the ship had stopped!
"Why did the boat stop?" Zhao Huan asked hurriedly.
The people around him didn't seem to know. No one answered his words for a while, and everyone looked north subconsciously.
"The golden thief's flag!"
Several ministers standing on the port deck looking north suddenly pointed to the flag appearing on the northeastern horizon and shouted loudly.
When Zhao Huan heard this, his legs instantly became weak, but he still had the courage to say to his left and right: "Quick, help Gu Jia to watch!"
Two chamberlains quickly stepped forward to help him to the port side deck of the dragon boat. Then Zhao Huan saw countless red and black flags rolled up, and endless cavalry and infantry marching under the Jin people's flag!
Looking at the marching direction of this group of golden thieves, it is exactly on the north bank of the Bianhe River to the east of the big dragon boat where Zhao Huan is!
Their vanguard has probably reached the bank of the Bian River ahead. This may be the reason why the fleet escaping from Kaifeng Mansion stopped moving forward!
The gold thief is coming!
Chapter 134 I won’t go to Five Kingdoms City!
It’s over!
The way is blocked by a gold thief!
Zhao Huan is so heartbroken! So much so that I forgot that I was sitting on a big dragon boat.
Although the Bianhe River is not as wide as the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, and its current is not fast, it is still a river after all!
The Jin Army's Tiefutu, Guaizima and heavily armored troops cannot be used on the water. Even if they reach the bank of the Bian River, they can only fire some rockets... even if they can find a few small boats. , and it is impossible to stop the large fleet led by Zhao Huan.
So Zhao Huan still has a great chance to escape!
"Your Highness the Crown Prince... When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win!" Yu Wenxu said through gritted teeth, "Your Highness, please give orders to the ships ahead to move forward firmly at all costs, not to be afraid of the golden thieves!"
Zhao Huan glared hard at this minister who was leading the war with Li Gang and asked in his heart: Does this prince look like a brave man?
Wang Zongliu and Wang Taiwei, who was standing next to him, shook his head and said with a pale face: "It's useless... The gold thieves are not stopped at any checkpoint. They can march along the north bank of the Bianhe River and follow us all the way to Yingying." If we go to heaven, we can keep shooting rockets at our ship!"
When he reminded him, Zhao Huan, who was so frightened that his stomach trembled, could not even stand. He relied on the support of two chamberlains to prevent him from falling, "What should we do? What should we do? Is it possible? Is the Gu family going to be the prisoner of the Jinren?"
"Your Highness," Zhang Bangchang also came forward to make suggestions, "Why don't we ask for peace from the gold thief? We also brought some treasures, totaling three to four million, which can be used by the gold thief to buy his way!"
"Okay..." Zhao Huan loves peace very much!
However, Yu Wenxuzhong was firmly opposed to suing for peace, and hurriedly said: "These three to four million are the imperial court's living money. They have all been given to the gold thieves. What else can the imperial court use to reward the soldiers, win over the defeated soldiers, and appease people's hearts? Besides, what the gold thieves want How can a big conspirator be bribed with just three or four million?
Your Highness, in my opinion, when we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins! We have 300,000 to 400,000 people on land and water, of whom no less than 100,000 are capable of wielding blades. Why should we be afraid of a mere 10,000 gold thieves?
Even if the golden thief follows you all the way, there is nothing to be afraid of! Yingtian Mansion is a hundred miles away, and the gold thief can't stop us. As long as we can enter Yingtian Mansion, the gold thieves will not be able to do anything to us... Yingtian Mansion is not only strong, but also has sufficient reserves, so it is not afraid of being surrounded by gold thieves. "
Yingtian Mansion is not Kaifeng Mansion, and there is no Yellow River to break the city. Moreover, the canal between Yingtianfu and Southeast has not been interrupted, so the reserves in Yingtianfu City are also very sufficient... According to the report of the Jingdong Road Transfer Envoy, the reserves in the official warehouse in Yingtianfu City alone can at least make Hundreds of thousands of people ate and drank for a year and a half.
Even if the three to four hundred thousand Kaifeng soldiers and civilians who followed Zhao Huan entered Yingtian Mansion, they would not have to worry about running out of food within seven or eight months. If you include the food stored by the people in the city, it will not be a problem to support it for a year and a half.
Zhao Huan knew very well that what Yu Wenxuzhong said was reasonable, but he was His Highness the Crown Prince of the Song Dynasty, who was equivalent to 50,000 gold soldiers!
He is cowardly!
"What Dazai said is true!" Zhao Huan turned to look at the loyal Zhang Bangchang, "The Gu family sent an envoy to negotiate with the gold thief to buy a way..." He gritted his teeth, "What does the gold thief want? I can give it to everyone!”
Why is it me again?
There is so much hatred in Zhang Bangchang’s heart!
I'm Dazai!
The first of all officials! Shouldn't it be well protected? How can we take risks again and again?
And... He also said that the gold thief would give him whatever he wanted? You, a bereaved prince, what else can you give to others besides three to four million in survival money? Now you can't even get an emperor to marry you! Those little girls are very clever, and they don’t even know where they have slipped away...
As for ceding land, don't even think about it. The territory bordering the gold thieves seems to be in the hands of King Yun Zhao Kai... If the official family is really gone, it's not certain whether Zhao Kai will recognize you as the new official family!
Zhao Huan saw Zhang Bangchang dilly-dallying and became a little impatient, so he said to his uncle Wang Zonglio: "Send a small boat and find two more people who understand Jurchen or Khitan (there are many Jin people who understand Khitan)." Tongtong will go with Dazai!"
After saying that, he waved his hand resolutely.
"Got the order!"
Wang Zongliu responded and immediately called several generals from the front army. Without allowing Zhang Bangchang to say anything, he escorted him off the boat to negotiate with the gold thieves.
The leader of the gold thieves Zhang Bangchang met on the north bank of the Bianhe River was his old acquaintance, Wanyan Zongbi, the fourth prince of the Jin Dynasty.
In fact, before Wanyan Zongbi met Zhang Bangchang, he didn't know that one of the people he stopped was Zhao Huan, who was equivalent to 50,000 gold soldiers.
It turned out that Zong Bi did not wander to the Bian River to capture Zhao Huan. He just guessed that the rich men in Kaifeng City would escape along the Bian River after the defeat of the Song army attacking the Wannian Embankment. So he wanted to do some business of blocking roads and collecting beauties for a fee - when Wanyan Zongbi and his group of gold thieves went south, they never thought about destroying the Song Dynasty. They just came to steal money and beauties!
The East Route Army led by Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Yanmu, and Wanyan Zongbi came straight to Kaifeng Mansion because they had been hearing people say how Kaifeng Mansion was rich and had many beauties.
Now that we have finally defeated the main force of the Song Army, of course we cannot let the wealth and beauties of Kaifeng Mansion escape along the Bianhe River!
Otherwise, what's the point of fighting so hard?
After the battle at Wannian Xindi, Wanyan Zongbi, who was eager to get rich, led his men all the way south, marching through the night, crossing the Wuzhang River once, and reaching the north bank of the Bian River as quickly as possible.
As a result, I didn't grab much wealth and beautiful women, but I met Zhang Bangchang, the "diplomat of the Song Dynasty", and learned about the Song Dynasty prince Zhao Huan from Zhang Dazai, who was quick to talk. At this time, he pretended to be a On the leading building ship.
This is a great achievement! If you catch Zhao Huan, you can definitely extort 10 to 20 million from his father, Zhao Ji, right?
So Wanyan Zongbi didn't talk nonsense with Zhang Bangchang or put forward any conditions. Instead, he immediately called his subordinates, suppressed Zhang Bangchang and rushed to the dragon boat where Zhao Huan was.
When he arrived at the bank of the Bian River near the dragon boat, he didn't waste any time. He immediately ordered his men to spread out against the river embankment, then set off rockets, as if they were going to burn Zhao Huan alive.
This time Zhao Huan was frightened and stunned... Arrows were raining down! And it still has flames! Even if he couldn't shoot Zhao Huan, he could still set the dragon boat he was riding on ablaze!
This shows that what the gold thief wants is not land, wealth and beautiful women (in fact, he only has three to four million in wealth), but wants to kill him, the prince, and destroy the Song Dynasty!
What should I do?
"Your Highness, please order the dragon boat to dock on the south bank. Let's abandon the boat and walk!"
"No! How can we escape on foot? The Bianhe River is neither wide nor deep, so it cannot stop the gold thief. Once the gold thief crosses the river, Your Highness will..."
"But the boat will burn if it doesn't dock!"
"Let's fight hard! There are still three to four hundred thousand people on the south bank. If we gather the strong men among them, there will be 100,000 people..."
"No way! Bachelor Yuwen, open your eyes and look... the people have all run away! They have all run away!"
Inside the cabin, a group of officials from the Song Dynasty were surrounding Zhao Huan, who was sitting on a chair, talking about bad ideas. Outside the cabin, there were the shouts, screams, and screams of countless thousands of people. The curses were even louder!
These voices came together and penetrated into Zhao Huan's ears, and finally turned into two big words - despair!
The Song Dynasty is about to end... No, it is him, Zhao Huan, who is going to end it!
When he thought that he had endured and fought for so many years and it was finally over, Zhao Huan, a coward, exploded!
"Shut up! Stop making noise!"
The anger that Zhao Huan had accumulated for at least ten years seemed to burst out all of a sudden. Everyone stopped and focused their attention on this great Song Dynasty official.
But what they saw was a completely discouraged Zhao Huan.
"Gujia, isn't it okay if Gujia surrenders?"
Down?
Everyone was stunned, shouldn't they be crazy?
Zhao Huan looked at everyone with a look full of desolation, "Which of you can go to the Gu family to ask for the surrender of the golden thief, no, Dajin Shangguo?"
"Your Highness!" Yu Wenxuzhong roared, "Things can't be like this... there is still hope!"
After yelling, Yu Wenxuzhong looked at Zhao Huan with eager eyes: Is it too late to go crazy now? Go crazy! When someone in your family goes crazy, they won’t be afraid!
But Zhao Huan was not crazy. He shook his head, "Bachelor Yuwen... don't lie to the Gu family. The Gu family knows that the Song Dynasty is over. If you surrender earlier, you can save the people from suffering!"
As he spoke, Zhao Huan turned to look at Geng Nanzhong, who was already crying. He was about to become the prime minister, so why didn't the Song Dynasty disappear?
"Mr. Geng, why don't you take a trip for the Gu family?"
Geng Nanzhong couldn't refuse this request, and he couldn't bear to refuse it!
Seeing that Geng Nanzhong agreed, Zhao Huan ordered Wang Zonglio to organize some soldiers on the ship to shout "I wish to surrender, stop shooting arrows"... Although they shouted in Chinese, the Jin soldiers on the opposite side actually understood it. , and immediately stopped shooting.
Immediately afterwards, Geng Nanzhong was transported by a boat to Wanyan Zongbi, who was a little downcast. There, Geng Nanzhong saw a scene that he would never forget!
Zhang Bangchang and Tong Guan actually hugged each other...the two old men hugged each other and cried!
Why are they crying? In addition, why is Tong Guan here with Jin Thief?
Just when Geng Nanzhong was about to ask a question, Zhang Bangchang had already spoken first: "Xidao, the official family is gone!"
Gone? Caught?
Geng Nanzhong is so heartbroken!
"The officials died in the battle!" Tong Guan cried. "The officials fought with the gold thieves, no, with the gold soldiers outside the Zhenshui Temple on the north bank of the Wuzhang River. They personally risked the arrows and stones, and led the troops in front of the palace to charge into battle. As a result, he was hit by an arrow, fell off his horse and... died!"
What? Geng Nanzhong was stunned...it turned out that Zhao Kai's madness was really passed down from his father! People in the old Zhao family are timid when they are normal, but when they go crazy, they become fierce!
Wanyan Zongbi watched Tong Guan and Geng Nazhong speak a lot of Chinese, and when he saw Geng Nazhong's mouth opened so wide that a fist could fit in, he knew that Tong Guan had said everything he needed to say. So he coughed and spoke: "Zhang Dazai, Bachelor Geng, your request is already known to a certain family!"
His words have their own interpreters.
knew? Geng Nanzhong thought to himself: I haven’t said it yet!
Wanyan Zongbi continued: "Everyone has agreed..."
What did you promise? Geng Nan Zhongxin said: Do you agree to surrender to His Majesty the Crown Prince?
Wanyan Zongbi had no idea that Zhao Huan was going to surrender. He continued: "When your prince arrives at Yingtian Mansion, remember to use one million to redeem the bodies of your officials, and another one million to redeem those brothers... ... Just send the goods to Huazhou!
In addition, I also ask your prince to express my condolences and accept the change... In the future, you can be an official and don't think wildly. Don't go crazy! "
...
Another explosive update, and then I ask for recommendation votes, first order and monthly pass on January 1st!
