Chivalrous Song Dynasty

However, at this time, some people with high prestige in the martial arts in the capital are basically not in the capital.Zhou Tong went to the Shaolin Temple, Zhan Renlong followed Tong Guan to the Northern Expedition, and there was no one in the Tianbo Yang Mansion who could stand up to the facade. Among the four major boxing gyms in the capital, only Di Lie participated in this gathering.

Zhao Kai has always respected Di Lie very much, not only because Di Lie's Wansheng Boxing Gym has never been inferior to Yu Boxing Gym, but also because they are cousins.As the saying goes, cousins, cousins, broken bones connect tendons.So no matter from which aspect, Zhao Kai respected Di Lie very much, so he asked Di Lie to be the leader of the martial arts alliance in the capital, and lead everyone to discuss the strategy of resisting gold.

Di Lie resolutely rejected Zhao Kai's proposal, he was not the right leader.

Why not?First of all, because the anti-golden alliance is composed entirely of folk warriors called by Zhao Kai, which is contrary to the holy will of Emperor Zhao Ji.It's okay to go against the holy will, after all, Zhao Kai is Zhao Ji's own son, but Di Lie can't pick this one because he is a relative of the state.

Since Wang Mang usurped the throne, the rulers of all dynasties in China have been extremely jealous of their relatives, and the Song Dynasty was no exception. It is almost impossible for a relative to hold real power. No matter how good he is, he will never get close to the center of power.

Of course Di Lie knew his embarrassment, he could be respected, but at the same time he couldn't join any organization to be the leader, otherwise he would be suspected by the royal family, so he couldn't be the leader of the martial arts alliance.

Although he refused to be the leader of the alliance, it did not mean that Di Lie did not agree with Zhao Kai's idea of ​​the main battle. He also believed that none of these Hu Lu was honest and trustworthy, and there was no reason to talk to Hu Lu, just one word, kill.So while refusing to be the leader of the alliance, he put forward another suggestion, which is to invite the Western Army who cultivated the way of teachers back to rescue the capital.

It is basically unreliable to send the frontier troops back to Beijing without telling the emperor, let alone say that if the emperor finds out about this, it is tantamount to rebellion, just say that ordinary people except the emperor can't mobilize the frontier troops at all, you If you want to adjust it, you can adjust it?Do people listen to you?

But Di Lie felt that Zhao Kai should have a solution to this matter, because Zhao Kai could steal the tiger talisman kept by his father.

Zhao Kai accepted this suggestion, and at the same time he wrote a blood letter to Zhong Shidao to show how critical the capital is.As for Di Lie not being the leader of the alliance, he naturally couldn't force Di Lie, not to mention he didn't know how high Di Lie's martial arts were, and he was afraid that after being elected leader, Di Lie would not be able to convince the crowd internally and deter the enemy externally.

In the face of such a formidable enemy, the newly established capital martial arts alliance must have a leader with super martial arts to sit in it, otherwise it will be a mess and meaningless.On this point, Zhao Kai felt that Zhou Tong should be more suitable than Di Lie.

On the other hand, he also hoped that Zhou Tong could invite the world's martial arts suzerains and Shaolin eminent monks gathered on Shaoshi Mountain to strengthen his momentum.

This idea is naturally good, Zhou Tong alone can outnumber ordinary warriors by a thousand or two, so it is indeed necessary to recall them.However, Bianjing is already a besieged city at this time. Who and how can they be sent to highlight the encirclement of the enemy, and then go to Dengfeng and Yanzhou?

Zhao Kai was considered smart, and after discussing with Di Lie, he decided to send [-] elite warriors to join Zhang Bangchang's team to get out of the Golden Camp.

What team is Zhang Bangchang?Zhang Bangchang is the imperial envoy sent by the emperor Zhao Ji. He brought Tong Guan back to Beijing for trial with the imperial decree. Of course, Zhang Bangchang cannot go on the road alone. The imperial envoy must have [-] guards, and this one is about to The imperial envoys who left Bianjing for Yanjing had the permission of the military of the Kingdom of Jin, and they allowed them to pass.

Originally, after Zhao Kai approached Zhang Bangchang to discuss the matter, the matter was considered safe. Of course, Zhang Bangchang would not lose face to Zhao Kai. It didn't make any difference whether his guards were 5000 or [-].

In short, he expected that the 800 people that Zhao Kai asked him to bring would never dare to mess around in the gold camp. If so, then take them out. As for where to do the 800 people after they go out, that is not what Zhang Bangchang needs. concern.

Logically, there is nothing wrong with the plan that Zhao Kai and Di Lie discussed, but who would have thought that this matter would reach Cai You's ears, and Cai You would stop doing it as soon as he heard it, thinking, what are you doing, Zhao Kai, can't you see I, Cai You, have made meritorious service and been promoted, right?Do you have to be awkward with me?

I have already persuaded the Jin soldiers to retreat, but you are going outside to ask for help. Isn't this trying to tear down my platform?Besides, if you were asked to move the rescuers back, wouldn't the people of the Kingdom of Jin say that I, Cai You, am repairing the plank road and secretly stealing Chen Cang?At that time, if the people of the Kingdom of Jin turned their backs, it would not only be a waste of all previous efforts, but a complete loss.

How to do it?It's easy to handle, send someone to inform the people of Jin, tell them that there is a group of warriors from the Song Dynasty in Zhang Bangchang's team, and detain these 800 people, and then release them when the two sides negotiate a peace and the Jin soldiers return to their homeland.

So he edited a letter overnight, broke the news to Wanyan Zongxian, and wrote his thoughts in the letter, and then sent his confidant to Jinying.Look, I, Cai You, are friends and frank enough, right?I am the most sincere to your friends in the Kingdom of Jin!

Are politicians like Cai You stupid?Absolutely not stupid.Not to mention a fool, even a person with a good IQ can't get to his level in the official career, but look at the things he does, how is it different from a fool?There is no other reason, the desire for profit blinds the heart, and the profit makes the mind faint.

Throughout the ages, there has never been a shortage of smart people like Cai You in the Chinese political arena.

Besides, Cai You's letter was sent to the Golden Camp. Wanyan Zongxian laughed when he saw it. The trebuchet has been assembled, and a batch of stone bombs has been prepared. Zhengchou has no excuse to start attacking the city. Okay, I want to sleep. Cai You brought a pillow, very good!

In this way, when Zhang Bangchang led 800 troops through the Jin camp, the Jin soldiers suddenly attacked, surrounded Zhang Bangchang and all the soldiers, and started a massacre.

The Jin army was ordered by Wanyan Zongxian, so it didn't care which of the [-] soldiers were Zhang Bangchang's men and which were warriors who went out to ask for help, they would kill them first, in short, they would rather kill all of them than let anyone go.

Chapter 1170

Jin Bing besieged and killed 800 Song soldiers and warriors. If Feng Nandu, Yi Xiao, Cao Zheng and other masters were not included, all [-] people would have been killed by Jin Bing. Fortunately, Feng Nandu Martial arts are superb, Yi Xiao is amazing at shooting people, and Cao Zheng's Paoding Xie Niu's sword skills are strange and weird, so he broke a bloody path and escaped.

The Fengyi brothers, Cao Zheng and others escaped from the Jin army camp and rushed to Mount Shaoshi. Wanyan Zongxian sent Wanyan Loushi to lead [-] elite cavalry in hot pursuit. This matter has been stated in the previous article, here No more words, just Yan Zongxian killed Zhang Bangchang's accompanying guards, imprisoned Zhang Bangchang, and then gave the order to siege the city.

Bewitched by Cai You, the unprepared defenders of the Great Song Dynasty were just like the Shaolin monks a few days later. .

When the Jin soldiers broke the city, Cai You was walking with Zhao Ji in the garden of the imperial palace. It is really unusual to talk about the friendship between Cai You and Zhao Ji. As mentioned earlier, Cai You once asked Zhao Ji for money. Two court ladies went home to play, but Zhao Ji actually gave it to him. What kind of friendship is this?Even Cai You's father, Cai Jing, can't match it.

The Jin soldiers broke through the city, and the Song soldiers defending the city were either killed and injured by the catapults, or were scared out of their wits. By the time the Jin soldiers entered the city, there was almost no decent resistance in the city, only Zhao Kai and Di Lie Nearly a thousand martial arts figures under him fought side by side with the "police" of Kaifeng Prefecture.

But what is the use of this manpower in such a large-scale war?It's nothing but a drop in the bucket, at most one street and one alley can be saved, but it can't keep the entire capital from being overwhelmed.

When the guards of the imperial city rushed to the imperial garden to report, even in the imperial garden, they could hear the cries of women on the street when they were being abused. Cai You still did not believe that Jin Bing would be so disrespectful, so he lowered his face Come to reprimand the guards for talking nonsense.

However, Zhao Ji already believed [-]%. If what the guard said was not the truth, he had committed a serious crime of deceiving the emperor. His family and nine clans would not be able to survive. Are the guards crazy?

Zhao Ji is an artist, and of course an artist is also a smart person. If you are not smart, how can you study calligraphy and painting to the first level in the country?So at this time, he responded more decisively than Cai You, run!

Before the imperial city is breached, run quickly!

"Cai You accepts the order!"

Cai You was taken aback, but still knelt down habitually, "I order you to draft an imperial decree to pass on the throne to Prince Zhao Heng, hereby!"

Without waiting for Cai You to receive the decree, he first took out a blank imperial decree with the jade seal on it and threw it to Cai You, then turned around and went back to the bedroom, changing into the clothes he usually wears when visiting brothels. , and ran to the back door of the palace, no concubine Wei Xian, it was too conspicuous to bring her with her, and people would recognize her wherever she went.

It's just that the sky is big and the earth is big, where can I go?At this time, Fang La occupied Jiangnan, Wang Qing occupied Hunan and Hubei, Tian Hu occupied Shanxi and Shanxi, Shandong was full of bandits, and Hebei was full of smoke. It seemed that although the world was big, there was no place for him, the Supreme Emperor, but even so, he had to run , If you don't run away and fall into the hands of Hulu, wouldn't it be embarrassing?

Zhao Ji ran away, but Cai You couldn't. He had to pass the decree and complete the tasks assigned by the emperor. Besides, he believed that even if the Jin people really broke through Bianjing, they would not embarrass him, Cai You, because the entire Song Dynasty In the hall, only Cai You is the loyal friend of Jin Guoren.

Perhaps the people of the Jin Kingdom destroyed the Song and Liao countries, but they were unable to effectively manage this huge territory, so they entrusted the Song Dynasty to themselves?Not without this possibility!

The so-called seeking wealth in danger, there is the so-called loss of a horse, knowing that it is not a blessing. Zhao Ji ran away, but I, Cai You, could not run away. If I followed Zhao Ji, I would have nothing. If I stay, maybe there will be a shocking wealth waiting for me!

In this way, when the city of Bianjing was broken, Zhao Ji became the Supreme Emperor in an instant, while the prince Zhao Heng ascended the throne and became the emperor in a state of bewilderment, and Cai You took advantage of the opportunity to become an important minister who supported the new emperor.

After all, Cai You has the opportunity to revise the imperial decree. If he changes the imperial edict to Zhao Kai or Zhao Gou, who will find the evidence that he changed the imperial edict privately?So the new emperor, Zhao Heng, had to accept Cai You's favor.

All this happened so quickly that almost no one in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty knew about it, but this incident was surprisingly similar to the Jingkang Incident in history. Jin's Li Gang stopped him.

The people in the capital are fighting against the gold.

I can't resist, I run and have no place to run, and the golden soldiers who entered the city will kill men when they see them, and rape women when they see them. Two earn one, and the people in the capital have been forced by the Jin soldiers to the point where they have to stand up and resist.

The main ministers of war represented by Li Gang are also fighting against Jin. They are loyal, brave and just people, and they want to leave their names in history. Therefore, they would rather die under the butcher knife of the Jin people than surrender for glory. They happen to share the same hatred with the people of the capital , The subjects twisted into a rope.

Amidst the chaos in the city, Li Gang realized that it was impossible to rely solely on the common people to fight like this. The common people had to be organized to fight street battles with the golden soldiers relying on the favorable terrain. It is better to give Jin Bing a hatchet and kitchen knife than to fight with the enemy in the street like this.

Fighting face to face with the cavalry of the Kingdom of Jin like this, not to mention the common people of the Song Dynasty, even the imperial army is free.

It's funny to say that when he organized the people in the west of the city, he found that a commoner didn't listen to him at all, instead of getting close to him, he lowered his head and ran farther and farther. Zhang Yinglong, the head catcher who arranged to act as a guard beside him: "Go and catch that man! He is going to die!"

As mentioned above, Zhang Yinglong is one of the four great gods, the grandson of Zhang Long, one of the four guards of Kaifeng Mansion in Bao Qingtian's era, a disciple of the Kongtong sect, who is good at using iron sand palms, so he was nicknamed "Iron Hand".

Now that the city of Bianjing was broken, of course Kaifeng Mansion could not work normally. Teng Zhongxiao sent out all the headhunters and even jailers to assist the soldiers and civilians in the capital to resist desperately. It was better than hiding in the yamen and waiting to be slaughtered.

Teng Zhongxiao is Teng Zijing's grandson, and Li Gang's husband happened to be Teng Zijing's disciple when he was studying. In terms of the relationship between the two, they can be regarded as brothers and sisters, and they usually have a lot of contacts.Although the former of these two people is pragmatic as the head of the Kaifeng mansion to control the security of the capital, and the latter is a retreat in the court as the Taichang Shaoqing. Their political views and ways of life are quite different, but this does not prevent them from communicating and getting close in private. .

So during the chaos, Teng Zhongxiao didn't forget about Li Gang, and sent Zhang Yinglong to be Li Gang's bodyguard, which was considered to be the best of his brother's affection.

It is only said that Zhang Yinglong was ordered by the governor of the Tengfu, so he naturally obeyed Li Gang's order, and immediately started light kung fu when he heard Li Gang's order, and in just three or two steps, he came behind the common man who was running panting, grabbed his neck, and went to Throw it back.

Hearing a terrified scream of "Ouch", Zhao Ji seemed to have fallen from the sky and landed in front of Li Gang.Although Zhang Yinglong's throwing technique was not comparable to that of Fang Latongguan's top experts, it was not enough to kill people. When Zhao Ji landed, he only fell on his buttocks.

Immediately, Li Gang saw the face of the visitor clearly, and was taken aback, "Guan, why is it you?"
