[Southern Song Dynasty] Splendid mountains and rivers

It has to be said that Zong Bi is a very powerful person.

At first Wanyan Hecai fought with Wanyan Zongpan, and then fell out with Wanyan Wu begging for money. When the whole capital was shrouded in an urgent atmosphere of "mediation of conflicts", only Zongbi silently summoned the old department and killed him again. He recruited some subordinates who were dissatisfied, and took the opportunity to win over a few Song officials, and promised them to do a lot of things for him with the promise of "returning to the Southern Court".It is said that among them, there is the shadow of Master Qin Hui Qin.

Fortunately, Zhao Yuan knew nothing about it.Otherwise, she would not let Qin Hui go so easily.

But at this time, Han Shizhong's army crossed the border silently, and the dozens of states and counties under the Kingdom of Jin did not notice it at all. Zong Bi was able to gather all his subordinates and intercept them on the ground in Bei'an Prefecture and Jianzhou Qianli University. The huge net blocked the Song army, it was really powerful.

Now, no matter which way Han Shizhong wants to go, he has to bump into Zong Bi.

Zhao Huan was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, Zhao Kai no longer played chess with left and right hands, Zhao Yuan stood on the small attic and watched the autumn wind blowing leaves for a long time, silent.

give up?

impossible.

She planned for seven full months, and paid such a high price, if she hadn't taken advantage of Jin's weakness, she would have brought out tens of thousands of Song prisoners.When Jin Guo regained his strength and wanted to leave again, it would be as difficult as climbing the sky.

"Official family." She turned around and asked Zhao Huan, "Do you have one or two strong bodyguards around the official family?"

Zhao Huan didn't know what medicine she sold in the gourd, but he nodded honestly: "There are a few who are quite loyal."

"Can you let my sister borrow one or two, and go out to Jianzhou to find out the truth?"

Before Zhao Huan could make a sound, Zhao Kai stood up hastily and said repeatedly: "No!" Without waiting for Zhao Yuan and Zhao Huan to react, he carefully explained the danger at hand.For example, Zong Bi's army has a bad reputation. For example, when the two armies are fighting, they are very easy to be hit by flying arrows. For example... Anyway, he just doesn't agree with his sister to take risks.

Zhao Yuan looked at him rather helplessly: "Does Third Brother have a better way?"

Zhao Kai was speechless, then gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind: "I'll go!"

"Third brother..."

"Huanhuan needs to sit firmly in the capital and take care of the official family." Zhao Kai talked about the general principles in a set way, "I am both an idle prince and a relative of the official family. Let me find out the truth and contact General Han. , it couldn’t be better. Huanhuan has always been a person who understands the overall situation, so she should understand these principles.”

"Third brother..."

"Don't say any more." Zhao Kai turned around and bowed his hands to Zhao Huan, "I sincerely ask for the official's permission."

Zhao Huan hesitated for a moment, finally nodded, and said "Zhu".

Zhao Kai left in a hurry.

Shangjing has become increasingly dilapidated and depressed, and the two independent Jin emperors both abandoned Shangjing and chose another capital city.Only Wu Qimai, who was far away in Korea, sent his eldest son Zongpan back to make a round to stabilize the overall situation.

It is said that Qin Hui, the envoy of the Song Dynasty, talked with Zong Pan several times. Taking advantage of the weakness and exhaustion of the Jin Kingdom, he signed the most "happy" contract ever made by the officials: only let Shanhaiguan pass, and the remaining 30% of Yanyun's hometown will be returned to the Song Dynasty. The Great Song Dynasty provides 30 taels of old coins, 30 pieces of silk, and 30 dans of food every year. Every [-] years, the emperor is sent to make a marriage, so as to end the century-old friendship between the two countries.

After Zhao Yuan heard about it, he went to look for Qin Hui that night, but in vain.

"Master Qin has returned to Bianliang under the escort of the Song army." Wan Qixie said.

Zhao Yuan regretted that he was too soft-hearted a few days ago and didn't take action to destroy Qin Hui, at least he had to be sent to Siberia to experience the cold wind.The transfer of Shanhaiguan, the marriage of old coins, and the payment of tribute... How could Qin Hui sign this agreement!

Compared to Zhao Yuan who was in a state of desperation, Zhao Huan seemed much calmer.His only sentence was: "Is Shanhaiguan really important?"

Zhao Yuan nodded solemnly.

Zhao Huan said more calmly: "Then, if the ninth younger brother signs, I won't sign." Then he walked in the court with his sleeves wrapped around his sleeves, not talking about it, and the frown that had been slightly frowned for a long time was relieved. .

Zhao Yuan looked at Zhao Huan's back and was silent for a long time.

"Nine younger brothers sign, I don't sign."

Just six words can determine who will be the emperor of the Song Dynasty in the future, and who will be able to sit firmly.Because Zhao Huan knew in his heart that what he, the most powerful imperial sister, cared about the most in his heart was actually the gate of the Great Song Dynasty.

As long as he refuses to sign this agreement, no matter how difficult the future is, his imperial sister will always stand by his side.

Not to mention that behind his imperial sister, there is still a brave western army standing!

The strength of the Western Army is unknown to others, but Zhao Huan knows it very well.

On the other hand, Zhao Gou has almost nothing except the old ministers who helped him to the top, and Zhang Jun's family in the imperial camp who specialized in strangling the rebels.

Although Qin Hui was an annoyed person, Zhao Huan felt a little grateful to him at this moment.If Qin Hui hadn't played such a foul game, he might return to Bianliang at that time, and he would have to grind his mouth with Zhao Gou.Now... huh.

Hit, die, him, also, no, sign, Song, Jin, He, Yi.

----------

On the border of Jianzhou, there are many mountains and towering mountains.

Han Shizhong had already collided head-on with Zong Bi many times, and their subordinates exchanged fire several times.The longer the time dragged on, the more anxious Han Shizhong became.Because this time, he had accepted Zhao Huan's secret decree before heading north rashly, and there could be no mistakes.Otherwise, it will be the end of annihilation of the whole army.

The three emperors, no, the situation where the two emperors are fighting each other, all the important officials in the court know, and he knows it too.

Compared with the ministers in the DPRK and China silently choosing sides, he decided to listen to his wife and stand on Zhao Huan's side.Not to mention that Zhao Huan is the legitimate eldest son, even the Roufu Emperor Ji standing behind him is enough to make people make up their minds.

Because General Han has always treated Emperor Ji like a god.

This time, he saw the imperial concubine's small seal on the jade seal of the official's house, so he marched eastward from Yanyun and then went north without hesitation, and greeted the official's house and all the important officials back with the greatest momentum.Unexpectedly, at the boundary of Jianzhou, he bumped into Zong Bi's men face to face.

Zong Bi is very powerful, he tried a few times to test it out, but he didn't get any advantage.

On this day, the two were habitually arguing with each other when a small group of Song troops galloped in from the northeast.Zong Bi squinted his eyes and looked carefully for a while, then let them go.Han Shizhong didn't recognize Zhao Kai, but he recognized the purple robe and jade belt on Zhao Kai's body.He led his soldiers to salute, only to realize that the other party was actually Rou Fu Di Ji's mother and brother.

Zhao Kai's expression was quite anxious, and he kept asking Han Shizhong if he could take advantage of the self-reliance and internal exhaustion of the states and counties of the Kingdom of Jin to invade Shangjing in one fell swoop and bring back the prisoners of Song Dynasty.After all, the Jin soldiers took tens of thousands of Song captives to the north. In addition to the royal family, there were maids, waiters, craftsmen, merchants... almost evacuated the entire Bianliang.

Han Shizhong looked distressed.

The two were discussing, when suddenly a long arrow was shot from the opposite side, there was a note on the arrow, it was Zong Bi who wanted to talk to Zhao Kai by name.Zhao Kai and Han Shizhong grinded their tongues for a while, and finally decided to let Han Shizhong guard Zhao Kai and talk to Zong Bi from a distance.

"I recognize you, the prince of the Song Kingdom." Zong Bi who was opposite him was actually smiling.

Zhao Kai didn't answer, but frowned in disgust, but unfortunately Zong Bi on the opposite side didn't see it.

"Is Empress Roufu still staying in Shangjing?" Zong Bi who was opposite said the word "Roufu" in one go.

Zhao Kai's frown deepened, and even Han Shizhong's complexion was not very good-looking.

"I know she must stay in Shangjing, because only she can make the entire Jin Kingdom fade away." Zong Bi seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be stating a certain fact.

Zhao Kai suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, he clearly heard Zong Bi say: "Hand over Empress Roufu, and I will let you go."

"Impossible!" Zhao Kai blurted out without thinking.

Hand over Roufu Diji?Who knows what kind of torture Roufu will suffer if it falls into their hands!He has endured the same thing for twenty months, and he can no longer let his sister...

He made an oath to protect her well, no matter what the cost.

"Don't worry." Zong Bi said again on the opposite side, "pass my words to Roufu Diji: stand up, and I'll let you go; if you satisfy me once, I'll let go of a thousand Song prisoners; Once I am happy, I will let go of 1 Song prisoners. I am the emperor of Dajin, and what I say is naturally counted."

"But you can't be the master of Wu Qimai's assassination with Wanyan!" Zhao Kai blushed and was angry.

Zong Bi cast a disdainful look from afar, but Zhao Kai didn't see it either.

"Pass the words of this king to Di Ji Rou Fu. Whether this king can do this, Di Ji knows better than you."

------------

The horses of the Western Army are extremely sturdy.

Especially when Zong Bi drove all the way to Shangjing without any interception, the speed was astonishingly fast.

At this time, Shangjing was dilapidated and dilapidated, and the defenders did nothing but drink and get drunk every day.Wanyan Zongpan yelled and scolded several times, and even killed some leaders, but it still didn't help.Wu Qimai's return date was approaching day by day, and everyone became more and more suspicious.Zhao Yuan once sent two people to chase Qin Hui back, but at the next moment, Zhao Huan was crying, tugging at her sleeves, and begging her hoarsely not to do so. Miserable nobles.

really...really...

Zhao Yuan was angry, hated and annoyed, and when he was thinking about the best solution for both sides, there was a unique knock on the door from the scouts of the Western Army.

Tee, Tee, Tee...

She was startled at first, then frightened again, but thinking that no matter how bad it was, it would not be so bad that Song would destroy the country, so she got up and opened the door.

Wearing the armor of the Western Army and carrying the token of the Western Army, the visitor repeated Zong Bi's words tremblingly.As Zhao Yuan listened, his eyes opened wider and wider, and finally his brows and eyebrows were gradually bent with a smile, because the depression brought by Qin Hui also dissipated a lot.

"Go and tell Zong Bi that the Emperor Ji has agreed."

"However, hopefully he keeps his word."

In this world, is there any way that is more convenient and safer than hundreds of thousands of Jin soldiers escorting Song prisoners out of Jianzhou, into Bei'an Prefecture, and south to Yanyun?

As for Zong Bi's seemingly ruthless schemes...

She would give him a little bit of sweetness to taste.

Zhao Yuan whispered a few more words to the scouts in front of him, then turned around and said to Zhao Huan: "I also ask the officials to summon all the Song prisoners stranded in Shangjing to return to the south."

Zhao Huan was taken aback, and looked at her blankly, as if he couldn't believe it, but also seemed to be crazy with joy.

"Please issue an order immediately from the officials." The prisoners of Song Dynasty must have formed their own set of contact methods after staying in Shangjing for nearly two years.This kind of thing must be done quickly, if it takes three or two days, and the Jinren reacts, then he can't afford it and walks away.

That night, a curfew was imposed in Beijing, and the streets and alleys were filled with alcohol, allowing people to eat and drink for nothing.

Wanyan Zongpan once tried to stop it, but he only pulled a few defenders in vain. He was beaten so badly that his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he was thrown on the street and passed out for a whole night.

Ever since the three golden emperors took away the most elite soldiers, the entire capital of Shangjing has been completely drunk and on the verge of collapse.This time Zhao Yuan set up a free-for-all wine array in an ingenious way. Within two hours, the whole of Shangjing was completely drunk.

In the middle of the night, the gates of the city were wide open.

In the early morning of the next day, all the tens of thousands of Song prisoners in Shangjing City left cleanly.

This is a miracle.

But when it comes to their wealth and lives, people often work hard to create miracles.
