Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

"Master Zhao, where are we going now?" Yang Shi said.

"It seems impossible for us to enter the military camp! Mr. Yang, who do you think this General Yue is?" Zhao Ding said.

"I don't know! I haven't heard of a general named Yue in Hanzhong!" Yang Shi shook his head and said.

"As far as I know, Emperor Xuanwu had a guard named Yue Mingfei! Emperor Jianyan did not handle it properly when he was outside of Xiangzhou City. It was this Yue Fei who took Emperor Xuanwu to Tongguan! Later, Zhe Keqiu came to power, overbearing, and taking Emperor Xuanwu himself. All the people on the side rushed to the foreign enemy, and this Yue Fei was named the Henan recruiter! I think this General Yue is that Yue Fei!" Zhao Ding said.

"Ah! How can this Yue Fei return to Hanzhong? Isn't he in Henan?" Yang Shi said in disbelief.

"This matter is very strange! I originally thought it was the Jingyuan Army who entered the customs on a large scale, but it seems that it may not be the case now! The little emperor’s cronies actually acted as the chief general of the Forbidden Army, and the little emperor stayed here too. After many days, I saw the appearance of those soldiers who were loyal to the little emperor. I don’t know whether it was just the guard at the door or the other soldiers! This thing is really weird. Could it be that the little emperor is in control now? This army? How is this possible? How is it possible?" Zhao Ding frowned and said.

"This thing is absolutely impossible! Master Zhao really thought about it! The little emperor was so stupid that he was a puppet for his life and could never control the army! I think this General Yue must be a general in the Jingyuan army. , It will never be Yue Fei!" Yang Shi said in disdain from the side.

"I hope so!" Zhao Ding said, still frowning.

"It's getting late today, let's rest here for one night, and then continue to go south to Sichuan and Shu, to see if Qu Duan is commanding the army to recover Sichuan and Shu!" Yang Shi said.

"Good!" Zhao Ding nodded and agreed!

That night, Yang Shi and Zhao Ding rested in an inn in Nanzheng, and early the next morning, they headed towards the road of Shu!

The two went all the way to the south, and the south was calm and there was no war in the slightest. The two were more and more surprised!

When they arrived at the entrance of the Shu Road, the two people knew that the 30,000-fold family army stationed here had surrendered to the Jingyuan Army, and the head of the Jingyuan Army was Liu Qi!

"Liu Qi, this person is Qu Duan's right-hand man! Liu Qi is here, and Qu Duan is definitely here!" Yang Shi secretly said.

"It seems that the Jingyuan Army has entered Sichuan! I was worried about it before!" Zhao Ding heaved a sigh of relief.

"Master Zhao is afraid that the little emperor will personally control the army?" Yang Shi said.

"Of course! I hope that Hanzhong and Chuanshu are still in power as before, and the people's sentiment is unstable. This is the most beneficial to Emperor Jianyan! If the little emperor can quickly arrange his cronies to control the army after the chaos, that can only prove One thing!" Zhao Ding said.

"What's the matter?" Yang Shi said.

"It proves that the little emperor was pretending before. He was cheating, he was deceiving the people of the world! He is not a foolish monarch at all, he has been forbearing and waiting for the opportunity! If that is the case, it would be bad!" Thinking of this, Zhao Kanae suddenly felt a little bit cold!

"This... he is a teenager, he was only ten years old when he left Kaifeng, how could he have such a scheming? Master Zhao is really unreasonably worried!" Yang Shi said.

"No! I am not necessarily unreasonable! The little emperor said that Qu Duan never entered Hanzhong, it is very likely to be true! It is very likely that only a part of the Jingyuan army generals took refuge in the little emperor, just for greater power! The little emperor took advantage of this Some of the Jingyuan army generals killed Zhe Keqiu and his son, and then let his cronies take over the Zhe family army! No, no, it won’t be like this... I hope I’m thinking..." Zhao Ding muttered to himself Tao.

"Master Zhao don't think too much, let's go to the Jingyuan Army and ask, don't we know?" Yang Shi said.

Zhao Ding nodded and said, "Okay!"

The two asked about the location of the Jingyuan Army. When they arrived, they saw that the soldiers of the Jingyuan Army were clean and morale. They were very different from the Zhejia Army. They were admired and vigilant in their hearts!

After the two explained their intentions, they actually saw Liu Qi!

"General Liu, I've admired the name for a long time!" Yang Shi and Zhao Ding sat down in the camp, Yang Shi said.

Yang Shi's attitude towards Liu Qi is completely different from his original attitude towards Qu Duan. At the beginning he dismissed Qu Duan, but he did not treat Liu Qi at all! The reason is simple. Liu Qi is also from a family of generals. Liu Qi’s father, Liu Zhongwu, used to serve as the Chengxuan envoy of the Baojing Army and the Jiedushi Envoy of the Luchuan Army. Liu Qi is an aristocrat in the army. Yang Shi thinks that Liu Qi can barely equal him. ! Although Qu Duan's status was high, he was born as a commoner, and Yang Shi looked extremely lowly, so he looked down on Qu Duan!

"Mr. Yang's name I have also admired for a long time! Mr. Zhao is the official book of Jiangnan officials, and I have often heard of it too!" Liu Qi smiled.

"General Liu, I don't know where General Qu is now?" Zhao Ding said.

"General Qu? He is naturally in Jingyuan now!" Liu Qi said.

"So, General Liu came to Hanzhong with General Qu on his back?" Zhao Ding asked directly.

Liu Qi smiled and didn't answer directly, but said: "I have received your majesty's decree, so I came to Hanzhong Qingjun's side!"

Zhao Ding's heart sank immediately! He felt that his guess was correct! Zhao Chen, the "Funjun", was indeed forbearing before, and indeed in disguise. He convinced everyone in the world that he was a "Funjun", but secretly he was able to win over some generals of the Jingyuan Army and let some generals of the Jingyuan Army lead their troops into the pass A discount is available! After Zhe Keqiu was killed, the so-called "Funjun" immediately arranged his cronies to control the Zhe family army to control the Jingyuan army!

"What a deep scheming! Is this the true face of Emperor Xuanwu? If Emperor Xuanwu is really like this, Emperor Jianyan is afraid that he is in danger! Jiangnan does not have any guard against the Emperor Xuanwu, and treats them as faint kings. , Including me, Zhao Ding, have been deceived! No, I will return to Jiangnan immediately and tell Emperor Jianyan about this!" Zhao Ding's face unexpectedly showed an anxious expression!

Yang Shi felt that Liu Qi had extraordinary temperament and had a "Confucian general" style. He secretly praised Liu Qi, thinking that Liu Qi is worthy of being an aristocrat in the army, far better than Qu Duan, a guy from a humble background! Yang Shi still wanted to stay here for a while, but not long after, Zhao Ding actually got up to leave, Yang Shi had no choice but to leave with Zhao Ding!

"We can stay in the Jingyuan Army for a while and find out more about the Jingyuan Army!" When he came outside, Yang Shi said with some dissatisfaction.

"No need to inquire! The number of Jingyuan Army entering Hanzhong will not exceed 50,000! Qu Duan, as a Jiedu and Economic Envoy of the Jingyuan Army, has been operating on Jingyuan Road for more than ten years, even if his generals betrayed him. It is impossible for him to take all the troops away! On the contrary, Emperor Xuanwu is too terrifying! He was only twelve years old, and he was only ten when he left Kaifeng. He had such a scheming and such a method! Thinking about it, I feel chills in my heart! Let's return to Jiangnan as soon as possible and let Emperor Jianyan beware of Emperor Xuanwu!" Zhao Ding said.

"Yes, this monk is really despicable!" Yang Shi thought for a while, and felt that Zhao Ding's guess might be correct, and he was angry right now.

"But I really want to know how Emperor Xuanwu won Chuanshu! Chuanshu still has Zheyanzhi and 60,000zhe family army. Now I don't know how Chuanshu is?" Zhao Ding said.

"Naturally we will know when we go!" Yang Shi said.

Zhao Ding nodded!

The two of them took their entourage down the Shu Road southward, all the way to Jianmenguan!

Jianmen Pass, the first pass in the Southwest!

This place guards the main road to Shu, from ancient times to the present, this place has been a battleground for military experts!

Li Bai has a poem saying that "one husband should be the gate, and no one can open it", that is, this sword gate is closed!

Starting from the Qin and Han dynasties, I don’t know how many wars have taken place here, how many generals led the army into Shuchuan from here, and how many generals are here to resist foreign enemies and guard Shuchuan!

But after Yang Shi and Zhao Ding came here, they didn't have any thoughts, they were just carefully observing the situation at Jianmen Pass!

In their opinion, Jianmen Pass was very different from before they came. The soldiers here were very lazy when they came, but now the soldiers here are extremely vigilant! The clothes of these soldiers are also different from before. They used to be dressed as standard soldiers, but now they seem to be dressed like navy soldiers! Wu Jie and Wu Lin trained soldiers in Yuzhou, mainly to guard the Yangtze River, so their soldiers are all navy formations. At this moment, this kind of dress is normal!

"Who is underneath?" The gate of Jianmen Pass was closed, and a general shouted loudly above it.

"I am waiting for the emissary sent by Emperor Jianyan to celebrate the wedding of Emperor Xuanwu! Now we are leaving Hanzhong, heading to Jiangnan, passing by Jianmenguan, please open and close the door and let us pass!" An entourage under Yang Shi said.

The generals above were obviously taken aback. At the moment, this lead is to let people open the gates and check the identities of these people before allowing them to pass!

"I don't know the name of General Gao?" Zhao Ding said as he walked forward.

"My name is Wang Song!" The general seemed to be in his thirties, and his body was a little chubby, said lightly at this moment.

"General Wang, I don't know where is General Oriyanzhi? We visited General Oriyanzhi before we came, and now we want to see him again!" Zhao Ding said.

Wang Song's face showed a non-smiling expression, shook his head and said: "You want to see him, I'm afraid it won't work!"

Zhao Ding said: "Why not?"

Wang Song laughed loudly and said, "He has gone underground. You have to go underground if you want to see him. Are you willing?"

Zhao Ding was taken aback and said, "Underground? The general said he was...dead?"

Wang Song sneered and said, "Yes, he has been dead for many days! If you want to see him, then you have to hurry up. He is afraid that he will be reincarnated when the time is too late!"

Yang Shi was furious and said, "What did you say?"

Zhao Ding hurriedly grabbed Yang Shi, he handed out a piece of silver, and said: "The general is accommodating, this road of Shu is difficult, we have been extremely tired all the way here, and want to rest in Jianmen Pass for a night, I wonder if it is okay? "

Wang Song frowned. He glanced at Yang Shi, Zhao Ding and others again. In his opinion, these two people were civil servants, and they only had a dozen followers. There are now more than 5,000 in Jianmenguan. The army exists, and he is not afraid that these people will pose any threat to Jianmenguan! At that moment, Wang Song nodded, took the silver unceremoniously, and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, I will arrange a place for you to live!"

Yang Shi, Zhao Ding and others shut down at Jianmen, Yang Shi did not go out in the house, and Zhao Ding was looking for news everywhere!

In the middle of the night, Zhao Ding returned to the room. He has not eaten until now. He is extremely hungry. At the moment, he took a bowl of rice and ate it. When he felt a little better in his stomach, he said, "Mr. Yang, Jianmen. Guan has been occupied by Wu Jie!"

Yang Shi was taken aback, and said: "Jie Wu? Is that the Yangtze River defense envoy Wu Jie?"

Zhao Ding nodded and said, "That's right! This is Wu Jie! And it's not just Jianmen Pass, I'm afraid the entire Shuchuan will be occupied by Wu Jie!"

A shocked expression appeared on Yang Shi's face, and he said, "Who is this? We didn't know this person before. He is only a soldier with 10,000 or 20,000 under him. How could he occupy the entire Shuchuan?"

Zhao Ding said: "I got the news that this Wu Tier started to act before Emperor Xuanwu's wedding. He secretly calculated Zheyanzhi on the Shu Road, and then he opened Jianmenguan with Zheyanzhi and occupied Jianmenguan! After that, He left thousands of people to defend Jianmen Pass, and he himself took Zhe Yanzhi to Chengdu Mansion, even if he was going to deal with the 60,000 zhe family army of Chengdu Mansion! If nothing else, Chengdu Mansion had already been taken by him. Although Zhe Yanzhi is the son of Zhe Keqiu, he is brave and incompetent. He may not be the opponent of this Wu order! We rarely hear about this Wu order, and it seems that he is also the little emperor! This The little emperor has calculated so deeply!"

Zhao Ding was also shocked, he really paid little attention to Wu Jie! Although Wu Jie defeated the Jurchens, Zhe Keqiu seized Wu Jie's credit. Except for a small number of people in the Jingyuan Army who knew the truth, few people in the world would notice Wu Jie! As for Jiangnan, they know very little about the news about Hanzhong and Chuanshu, let alone the details of Wu Jie! At this moment, it was hard for Yang Shi and Zhao Ding to be shocked to hear that this obscure general had won Zhe Yanzhi!

After the two of them stayed at Jianmen for a night, they immediately headed towards Chengdu Mansion! When they arrived at Chengdu Mansion, they received certain news that Zhe Yanzhi and Cao Rong were both killed by Wu Jie! As for the 60,000-fold family army, it has indeed been included by Wu Jie! It's just the specific method of collection, and the two of them can't find out! They only know that Sichuan has changed! Moreover, Wu Jie had just killed Zhe Yanzhi and Cao Rong, and immediately took out the emperor Xuanwu's imperial decree. In the imperial decree, Zhao Chen ordered Wu Yu and Wu Lin Qingjun to side, and declared that Zhe could seek the crime of rebellion! It happened to be Zhao Chen's wedding day!

"It seems that everything is arranged by the little emperor, this is absolutely certain! We should return to Jiangnan immediately! Tell Emperor Jianyan of all this!" Zhao Ding secretly said.

At this time, Zhao Ding finally regarded Zhao Chen as the enemy of Zhao Gou, and would no longer treat Zhao Chen as a "faint king"! He was secretly anxious, Zhao Chen was originally the righteous crown prince ascended to the throne, and he held the jade seal in his hands, and was considered by the people of the world to be the true emperor! Now Zhao Chen has such a method, and Zhao Chen has occupied the upper reaches of the Yangtze River again. Zhao Gou may not be Zhao Chen's opponent!

"State affairs are worrying!" He was a little worried!

It's the fifth day of the sixth day of the lunar calendar, the hottest time of the year has arrived!

In Jingyuan City in the northwest, the sandstorm that had been raging for several days finally stopped! The sky is blue, the sun is red, and the whole body is sweaty when walking on the empty road!

Qu Duan had just entered the house from the outside, his inner strength was deep, and the cold and heat did not invade him, but for some reason, he has been feeling hot in his heart these days! At the moment, he made people use a basin of cold water and poured cold water from the top of his head, which made him feel a lot more comfortable!

"Is there still no news about Wang Shu, Zhao Zhe, and Liu Qi?" Qu Duan asked after wiping the water on his head and face.

"There is no news from the three generals! I only know that they led the army to the east. It seems that they have gone all the way to Dasanguan!" said a lieutenant below.

"Damn it!" Qu Duan cursed fiercely.

At this moment, a young man dressed in brocade went into the room. This young man was eighth similar to Qu Duan, but he looked much weaker than Qu Duan, and his appearance seemed a bit wretched! Seeing Qu Duan in the room, the young man was shocked. He was about to turn around and leave. Qu Duan already shouted from behind, "Stop me!"

The young son stopped a little bit surprised, and said, "What's the matter with father?"

It turns out that this young son is Qu Xiuwen, the son of Qu Duan, and a well-known dude in the Northwest! In order to win Qu Duan, Zhe Keqiu wanted to marry Zhe Yueru to this son!

"Huh! You don't do business every day. I heard that you have harmed a yellow flower girl again a few days ago! That girl committed suicide, and her parents took her corpse into the Jingyuan Yamen and consumed her for her father. It took a lot of effort to suppress this matter! You are absolutely damn!" Qu Duan cursed.

"This..." Qu Xiuwen opened his mouth, and finally bowed his head and said nothing.

"When I was your age, I was already in the army, fighting and assassinating with the Xixia people! Look at what you do every day? From now on, you will stay in the mansion for me obediently and never go out! "Qu Duan said.

"Father, wouldn't it be suffocating to stay here?" Qu Xiuwen exclaimed.

"General, I can't as well let the young general enter the army and train in the army for a while, maybe the temperament will improve!" said the deputy general.

"Well, tomorrow you will go to the army and train with those soldiers!" Qu Duan frowned and said.

"Father, your old man gave me the name Xiuwen. I was born to study. How can I enter the army and stay with those lowly sergeants?" Qu Xiuwen said dissatisfied.

"What sordid sergeant? Are you insulting your father? Your father, I was an ordinary sergeant back then! A rotten man like Yang Shi looked down on me, and you kid also looked down on me! See how I beat you!" Qu Duan was furious, and stepped forward to take his son to the ground!

The lieutenant over there hurriedly pulled Qu Duan, Qu Duan was still out of breath!

"My father's anger will only be scattered on me! I heard that Wang Shu, Zhao Zhe, and Liu Qi have taken away half of his father's army and took refuge in Hanzhong's faint emperor. Why didn't my father go to the three of them to settle accounts, no? Go to the unlucky monarch to settle the account?" Qu Xiuwen pouted.

"I won't kill you today, I'm your son!" Qu Duan was angry and pushed aside the lieutenant, pulled Qu Xiuwen's collar, and slapped him down!

Suddenly Qu Xiuwen's cheeks swelled high, Qu Xiuwen cried, seeing his son's appearance, Qu Duan sighed, waved his hand, and said: "Hurry up, don't let me see you again these days!"

Qu Xiuwen was terrified in his heart, and hurriedly left the room, and the lieutenant also left!

"Wang Shu, Zhao Zhe, Liu Qi, have you three really betrayed me? How can this be done! How can this be done!" Qu Duan muttered to himself while looking at the scorching sun outside the house!

There is an unusually bad feeling in his heart...
