Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 10: Billowing Yellow River

Zhao Chen thought about the way to bring the child into the palace, but after thinking about it, he didn't have any ideas!

He is the prince, the master of the East Palace! In the East Palace, everything is up to him! It's a pity that the East Palace is only a corner of the palace. If you want to enter the East Palace, you must enter from other places in the palace! He has no way to control the other guards, eunuchs, and maids in the palace! Moreover, even in the East Palace, it is difficult for him to run wild.

"The Jurchen encircles Kaifeng, Kaifeng is bound to be in chaos, and the palace may also be turbulent! At that time, maybe there is a chance to bring the child into the palace?" Zhao Chen said secretly.

"His Royal Highness, do you still learn martial arts today?" Wang De said.

"Naturally want to learn martial arts!" Zhao Chen nodded.

That afternoon, Zhao Chen still followed Wang De to learn swordsmanship! Wang De's swordsmanship has been greatly improved on the basis of military swordsmanship, and it can be called his original creation! This sword technique is extremely delicate and murderous, but there is still a certain gap between this sword technique and the Dazheng sword technique that Zhao Chen has practiced.

That Dazheng swordsmanship is the royal martial arts, Zhao Chen can only practice it by himself, not let Wang De guide! Although he was practicing by himself, Zhao Chen already felt that the power of this Taisho sword was far better than the sword taught by Wang De! That Taisho swordsmanship went down with a single sword, and the moves were extremely powerful, which could be said to be unstoppable!

In the process of martial arts training, Zhao Chen's mood slowly calmed down! He knows that anxiousness is not enough, and that anxiousness can't solve any problems! Now he can only wait slowly and slowly look for opportunities! In the past few months in the palace, a huge crisis is about to come, and Zhao Chen's character has improved a lot.

The autumn rain outside was still pattering, the sky slowly darkened, and the fire in the East Palace was lit.

That night, Zhao Chen left Wang De again for dinner.

In the past few months, Zhao Chen and Wang De have been getting along almost every day. Although one is a prince and the other is a subordinate general, they are no different from real masters and apprentices!

Of course, apart from the mentor and apprentice, there are other relationships between the two! Zhao Chen is the prince, but the emperor, and Wang De is the general of the imperial army, but the minister. The most important thing between the two is the relationship between the emperor and minister!

Wang De was actually very grateful to Zhao Chen for his "favorable treatment", he could feel Zhao Chen's heart to him! Zhao Chen didn't seem to treat him as a courtier at all, but as a teacher or even as a friend! Since ancient times, few kings have treated his courtiers like this! This made Wang De happy but also a little frightened. He was afraid that he would not be able to repay the kindness of the monarch!

"The three northern towns are broken, you say, when can the Jinbing hit Kaifeng?" Zhao Chen said, full of food and drink.

"There is a natural danger of the Yellow River in the north, and Jinbing may not be able to reach Kaifeng!" Wang De said.

Zhao Chen shook his head, he didn't believe this! It is clearly written in the history books that Jin Bing has indeed hit Kaifeng! Neither the three northern towns nor the Yellow River Natural Hazard can stop the advance of the Golden Soldiers! Now it is no longer a question of whether Jin Bing will come, but a question of how to escape after Jin Bing arrives!

"Just now, Grandpa Liu from the Funing Hall came and said that his Majesty had sent two generals, Yi Yanzhi and Yi Yanzhi, to lead an army of 150,000 to the banks of the Yellow River to stop the Golden Soldiers! This time the Golden Soldiers were divided into two routes and went south. Forces are limited! There are 150,000 fold family soldiers on the other side, they will definitely not be able to come over!" Wang De said.

"Zhe can ask for? Zhe Yanzhi?" Although Zhao Chen had never heard of the names of these two people in his previous life, as a prince, he had already gained a certain understanding of these great Song generals in a few months.

The Zhe family, like the kind family, is a family of soldiers from the northwest! Especially this Zhe family has a long history, and the history of the Zhe family is much longer than that of the Song Dynasty! Since the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the Zhe family has guarded the northwest, generation after generation, with a history of nearly 500 years! In the later generations, there is an "Old Taijun She" in the Yang family. In fact, it is not Old Taijun She, but Old Taijun Zhe! This Zhe family married a family of soldiers in the northwest, which had a great influence in the northwest! Back then, when the teacher was serving as the Northwestern Economic Officer, he did not dare to offend the Zhe family!

Over the past hundred years, Xixia has risen, and the Zhe family has also played a great role in resisting Xixia! But Jin Bing is not Xixia, and Zhejia cannot be Jin Bing's opponent!

"I am afraid that the Zhe family will not be able to resist Jin Bing! General Wang, I still have something to ask for!" Zhao Chen said.

"Why should your Royal Highness be polite with the general?" Wang De hurriedly said.

"If... I mean if Jin Bing really breaks through the Yellow River and surrounds Kaifeng! Kaifeng City is broken, can General Wang protect my safety?" Zhao Chen said.

"Does this still need to be said? If that is the case, I will definitely protect His Royal Highness from the palace!" Wang De said without hesitation.

"Thank you General!" Zhao Chen nodded.

This Wang De is the No. 1 master of the Forbidden Army, martial arts stepped into the innate, with his protection, it must be easier to escape.

Day by day, the battle reports from the north continued to spread into the palace, and almost all the battle reports showed that the Golden Soldiers were constantly advancing! The Song Army north of the Yellow River could not stop the advance of the Jin Bing at all!

At the end of September, news came from the north that the first racial teacher of the Western Army died of illness! The entire Kaifeng city no longer reported any hope for the army in Hebei and Hedong. At this moment, everyone's eyes were on the bank of the Yellow River! The monarchs and officials of the Song Dynasty placed their hopes on the Song army on the south bank of the Yellow River, hoping that these Song army could resist the pace of the Jin soldiers!

In addition to being able to ask for something and being good, Song Qinzong appointed Wang Hui, a defender of Lianghuai, as the deputy envoy for the defense of the Yellow River! Zhe Keqiu, Zhe Yanzhi father and son led a 150,000 Zhe family army to resist the Jinbing West Route Army led by Wan Yan Zonghan, and Wang Hui led a hundred thousand Lianghuai Imperial Army to resist the Jin Bing East Route Army led by Wan Yan Zongwang!

King Kang Zhao Gou was appointed by Song Qinzong as the "Marshal of Hebei Soldiers and Horses", responsible for mobilizing the four soldiers and horses of the world for the king.

With the arrival of early October, the weather has gradually become colder!

Wanyan Zonghan finally led the army to the southernmost part of Hedong, around Puzhou Prefecture!

The former convenience is Fengling Ferry, which is the most important ferry on the Yellow River! In ancient Chinese myths and legends, Nuwa was surnamed "Feng". After Nuwa repaired the sky, she died and was buried here. It was called "Feng Ling", and the ferry here was called Feng Ling Du! This is the main throat of Hedong, Henan, and Guanzhong. Since ancient times, this place has been a battleground for military strategists. The ancients have a poem, "One water north and south, the Central Plains is full of energy. Clouds and mountains are connected to Shanxi, smoke trees enter Qinchuan"! Only through here can Jin Bing go south and enter Henan!

Wanyan Zonghan stood at the Fengling Ferry and looked at the opposite side, but the water vapor of the Yellow River was dim. Even if he was a super expert, he could only look at it roughly! There are vaguely countless barracks over there, countless Song soldiers are stationed there, Wan Yan Zonghan's face can't help showing a trace of sadness!

A tall and thin middle-aged Jurchen stood beside him and said, "The handsome man is a little worried?"

Wan Yan Zonghan nodded, and said, "The Yellow River is so turbulent, it’s difficult for us to pass! Now the Song people have laid heavy soldiers on the opposite side. How do we get there? Oriyan, tell me, what should we do now?"

The tall and thin middle-aged man next to him is called Wanyan Wuliyan, also known as Wanyan Loushi. This person is also a fierce general of the Kingdom of Jin. Back then, he captured the emperor of the Liao Kingdom Yelu Yanxi alive and killed him for Jurchen. Liao Li made great achievements! In addition to being brave, this person is also the wise general of the Kingdom of Jin. When Wanyan Aguda was alive, he often praised Wanyan Loushi! Now, Wanyan Loushi is Wanyan Zonghan's first general, Wanyan Zonghan's right arm.

At this moment, after hearing Yan Zonghan’s questioning, Wanyan Lou's room also showed a wry smile, saying: "Marshal, the situation in front of you is really difficult to deal with! If it is our water army and warships in the Jin Dynasty, we can still rush over! But we Without naval forces, without warships, how can we break through the Yellow River defense line?"

"Go and call all the commanders, let's discuss together and see how to cross the Yellow River." Wan Yan Zonghan thought for a while and said.

The military system of the Kingdom of Kings is an arrangement of ten thousand captains, thousand captains, centurion captains, and ten captains. One ten thousand captain commands ten thousand captains, one thousand captain commands ten centurions, and so on! This military system was the first of Wanyan Aguuda. After Genghis Khan took the Mongols to rise, he praised Wanyan Aguuda as a military genius and followed the military system of the Kingdom of Jin! This military system looks crude and crude, but it is extremely efficient. It is the most advanced military system of this era! This military system is also one of the reasons why Jurchen's combat power is extremely high!

The military system of the Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty was extremely chaotic, especially the Song Dynasty! The Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty relied on the support of the army to win the world. After he got the world, he prevented the rebellion of the army in the Song Dynasty. So he first released his military power, lifted the military power of his generals, and then reformed the military system. ! In the Great Song Army, there are layers of restrictions, with countless high-level officers such as managers, commanders, defensive agents, and propaganda officers. As for the number of lower-level officers, many soldiers do not know who their direct superiors are. ! This military system is sufficient to ensure that the Song Army achieves the ultimate goal of "soldiers do not know the generals and will not know the soldiers". Of course, it also ensures that there will be no officials in the army and no rebellion in the army! Throughout the Southern and Northern Song Dynasties, there was almost no general rebellion in the Great Song Dynasty! Zhao Kuangyin's goal was achieved, but the army of Song Dynasty was completely destroyed! The army of the Great Song Dynasty is not an opponent of the Liao Kingdom, or even the opponent of the small country of Xixia. As for the newly rising and rising Golden Kingdom, they are even more not opponents!

At this moment, Yan Zonghan summoned all the commanders to discuss the way to cross the Yellow River! But facing the billowing Yellow River, facing the Song army several times more than them, these commanders couldn't think of any way to do it!

After the consumption of Taiyuan City, Wanyan Zonghan now has only 50,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, while the other side of the Yellow River has 150,000 discounts! There are three times as many enemies as they are, and there is the danger of the Yellow River. They want to cross the river. How easy is it to say?

When Jin Bing went south for the first time, Song Jun didn't prepare, so they could easily come to Kaifeng! But this time Song Jun was careful to watch out, it was extremely difficult for them to cross the Yellow River!

"Could it be that my Jurchen army was actually blocked on the bank of the Yellow River?" Wan Yan Zonghan gritted his teeth!

Three days have passed, and Wanyan Zonghan has ordered the soldiers to make rafts and prepare to cross the river with rafts! But he also thought it was unreliable! The Yellow River is flowing so fast that I don’t know how many people will die if I cross the river with a raft! Moreover, even if the Jin Bing came to the other side, and the Song army on the opposite side waited for work and swarmed, what would they do? But now, Wanyan Zonghan really can't think of any other way!

On that night, Wanyan Zonghan was sleeping soundly, and Wanyan Lou's room came to report that it was a scholar of Han Chinese who asked to see him!
