Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Days pass by, and in a blink of an eye it has come to October!

In these two months, the structure of the imperial court has gradually improved! Li Ruoshui has returned to Hanzhong to take up the post of Yushi Zhongcheng! Officials from the six ministries, the Ministry of Education, and the Privy Council are basically completed!

It's just the appearance of the Military Aircraft Department that greatly reduced the rights of the Sixth Ministry, the Ministry of Education, and the Privy Council. However, the current Military Aircraft Department mainly handles military affairs, so the performance is not very obvious! But Li Gang has realized something is wrong!

Li Gang visited Zhao Chen several times and wanted to make Zhao Chen abolish the military plane, but Zhao Chen did not agree!

Zhao Chen’s reason is also high-sounding. The establishment of a military aircraft office in troubled times can improve the efficiency of military affairs. This is indispensable! Even when Li Gang wanted to restrict the rights of the Military Aircraft Department, Zhao Chen did not agree! When dealing with military affairs, it is necessary to act cheaply. If the rights of the military aircraft office are restricted, it will also greatly affect efficiency!

Li Gang had no choice but to temporarily accept the existence of the Military Aircraft Department! In his mind, he was secretly pondering the way to persuade Zhao Chen!

The first snow has fallen, and the training ground is white! The mountains, the wasteland, and the trees in the distance are also white!

When the sky was dark in the morning, the soldiers of the imperial army and the imperial camp had already got up!

This time they have to train for emergency marching again!

More than 70,000 soldiers came to Qinling in three days! However, the training effect this time was much better than the previous one. Last time, many soldiers were backed by other comrades! And this time, with the exception of a handful of people, most of them insisted on reaching the end, and not many people left behind!

The soldiers of the imperial army and the imperial camp have to stay in the Qinling Mountains for a period of time for mountain training!

Zhao Chen took Wang Shu to the Great Sanguan!

Dasanguan is also white!

Zhao Chen stood on Guancheng, with Zhao Zhe, Zhao Wu, Wang Shu and others by his side!

"At the beginning, Wu Yan, Wu Lin and others were the monk Yuan in front who defeated the Golden Soldier! Zhao Zhe, you defend the Great Sanguan, and don't forget the monk Yuan in front!" Zhao Chen laughed.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, we also have soldiers stationed in front of the monk!" Zhao Zhe said.

"That's good!" Zhao Chen nodded.

He was full of emotions, the last time he was here, he was running for his life! At that time, Zhe Keqiu almost gave up Dasanguan and Hanzhong and entered Shuzhong directly! If that were the case, it would be difficult for him to enter Guan Shan again! Fortunately, Wu Jie defeated the Jurchen at the time, which made the situation reversed! This time, he was inspecting here as a real emperor, and he even had plans to counterattack the Jurchen in his heart!

They were watching here and telling the country's major events. At this moment, a group of people appeared in the distance!

"Huh!" Zhao Chen couldn't help being taken aback!

"Your Majesty, it's our soldier!" Zhao Zhe said.

Zhao Zhe is a natural master, and his eyesight is naturally much better than that of Zhao Chen. At this moment, Zhao Zhe has seen that those people are wearing military uniforms of Han people, and they are all dressed in Han people!

Zhao Zhe immediately sent people to investigate!

However, his people have not yet come close to those people, and the rest of the Jingyuan Army soldiers have already come up to report!

"Your Majesty, several generals, Master Qu Duanqu is here!" The soldier knelt on the ground and said!

"What!" Zhao Chen was taken aback, and said, "Qu Duan?"

Zhao Zhe was also taken aback, and said: "Qu Duan? We haven't got any news before!"

Zhao Chen calmed his mind and said, "You got it right, is it really Qu Duan?"

The soldier nodded and said, "It's Master Qu, yes! I often saw Master Qu when I was in Jingyuan City!"

Zhao Chen laughed and said, "It's great! He is here at last! Come on, let's go down and welcome him!"

Originally, Qu Duan hadn't come for a long time, and Zhao Chen was already a little disturbed! This Quduan literary and military all-rounder has 50,000 elite troops under his hand! If Qu Duan is unwilling to surrender to him, it is a huge threat to him! To deal with Jurchen and King Kang in the future, he must first eliminate Qu Duan! Fortunately, now, Qu Duan finally couldn't hold on, and finally came to see himself!

At the moment when the gate of Dasanguan opened, Zhao Chen, Wang Shu, Zhao Zhe, Zhao Wu and others had already walked down from above and greeted the pedestrian in the distance!

Gradually, they got closer and closer to the pedestrian, and Zhao Chen could already see the leader! That man is tall and mighty, unshaven, and sharp-eyed. Who is he if he isn't a curly?

Qu Duan had also noticed Zhao Chen at this moment, but he had not seen him for a long time, and Zhao Chen had changed a lot! Zhao Chen's figure is much taller than before, and Zhao Chen always gave people a gentle feeling before, and now he is in power, Zhao Chen already has a sharp temperament!

Soon Qu Duan saw Wang Shu, Zhao Zhe, Zhao Wu and others beside Zhao Chen, and a complicated look appeared in his eyes! These people were originally his subordinates, especially Wang Shu had a very good relationship with him. He did not expect that these people would all betray him and all came to Hanzhong! Thinking of this, he sighed long!

When Qu Duan strode forward, he came to Zhao Chen and the others, knelt down on the ground, and said: "See your majesty Qu Duan, the criminal minister!"

Zhao Chen laughed and lifted Qu Duan up, and said, "Master Qu is now a secret envoy of the Song Dynasty, how can you say that he is a criminal?"

Qu Duan said: "Your Majesty can be oppressed if you have suffered. I have a hundred thousand army in Jingyuan, but I don't come to rescue your Majesty. Isn't it a criminal?"

Zhao Chen laughed and said: "Zhe can be ambitious, General Qu is not willing to help me, but only temporarily avoids his edge! Later, General Qu sent Wang Shu, Zhao Zhe, and Liu Qi to rescue me? Okay, Don’t talk about the previous things! From now on, Master Qu will serve as the privy envoy, and the country’s military affairs will depend on Master Qu!"

Zhao Chen spoke magnanimously, regardless of the previous suspicions, Qu Duan felt a little grateful, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Over there, Wang Shu, Zhao Zhe, Zhao Wu and others came up to the courtesy. In any case, they were all Qu Duan's subordinates. Qu Duan snorted and turned his head to ignore these people, which embarrassed these people. Endless!

"Is General Qu just here by himself? Who will command the 50,000 army of Jingyuan City now?" Zhao Chen said.

"The 50,000 army of Jingyuan City is now under the command of General Wang De! However, General Wang De is a general who can become a generation of warriors, but he is not good at leading the army! I suggest that your Majesty send another person to take over Jingyuan City!" Qu Duandao.

"Okay, I understand this! Wang De is indeed a general, not a handsome talent! I don't think so. General Zhao Zhe will go to Jingyuan City, and the fifty thousand army will be under the command of General Zhao Zhe! From now on, General Zhao Zhe will still be Jingyuan. Under the military control, Wang De is the deputy control! General Liu Qi led the Huanqing Army northward from Shu Road to defend Dasanguan!" Zhao Chen said.

"Weichen takes the lead!" Zhao Zhe said.

There is some joy in Zhao Zhe's heart! At first they led the 50,000 Jingyuan Army to Hanzhong, but later the 50,000 Jingyuan Army was divided into two parts. He had 30,000 soldiers and horses, and Liu Qi was 20,000 soldiers and horses, but Liu Qi later annexed Shu. Dao’s 30,000 folds of his family’s army, so Liu Qi’s troops became 50,000! Now that there is an army of 50,000 in Jingyuan City, Zhao Zhe's soldiers have become 80,000! Of course, Wang De is a deputy control system, so some rights must be separated! But he knew that Wang De was Zhao Chen's confidant, and Zhao Chen arranged for Wang De to be by his side. I was afraid that he might also have the idea of ​​monitoring him!

"Immediately issue an order to let Liu Qi lead an army to guard the Dasan Pass! General Zhao Zhe waits until Liu Qi arrives before leaving here!" Zhao Chen said.

Now Wang Shu and Zhao Zhe should be one after another!

Wang Shu is the Minister of Military and Machinery, and now it is Wang Shu who has issued the decree! Wherever the Qing emperor went, there must be military ministers to follow. Zhao Chen is also like this now. Wherever he goes, Wang Shu is by his side, ready to carry out Zhao Chen's orders at any time!

Seeing where Zhao Chen ordered, Wang Shu and Zhao Zhe had nothing to do, Qu Duan couldn't help but sighed again!

"Let's go, let's enter Dasanguan first! This weather is really cold!" Zhao Chen smiled.

At the moment everyone entered the Great Sanguan Pass, and they sat by the fire together, feeling their bodies warm and warm.

Zhao Chen was extremely happy, Qu Duan came here, then Jingyuan City would no longer be a threat, and there is no need to worry about civil strife in the future!

"What's the situation of Xixia people recently?" Zhao Chen asked after a while.

The Jingyuan Army was originally set up to defend the Xixia people! Now Zhao Chen's question about Xixia's situation is normal!

"Since the Xixia people were defeated by the Jurchens, they are now lingering and unable to attack us southward!" Qu Duan said.

In the process of the rise of Jurchen, first defeated the Liao people, then defeated Xixia, and then defeated Da Song! Xixia was also greatly hit by the Jurchens, and now Xixia is a vassal state of the Jurchens to some extent! Within a few years, Xixia people are afraid that they will not have the power to go south!

"Very good! In this case, Jingyuan City doesn't need those many garrisons! On the contrary, the Jurchens pose a greater threat to us, Zhao Zhe, I think Fengxiang Mansion can also be garrisoned by the Jingyuan Army, and the Jurchens will come. Now, the Jingyuan Army can also come in handy! You all talk about it, what's the idea?" Zhao Chen said.

Everyone discussed it, and they all felt that Zhao Chen was right! So Fengxiang Mansion was also included in the defense range of the Jingyuan Army! According to Zhao Chen's intention, Zhao Zhe could be stationed at Fengxiang Mansion, while Jingyuan City was still handed over to Wang De. Of course, most of the army on Jingyuan Road had to turn to Fengxiang Mansion!

"It's been almost two years since Jurchen invaded Kaifeng! Last year they were recuperating, and they calmed down the rebellion in the north! This year, they should act again, right?" Zhao Chen said.

"Yes! Your Majesty, according to Weichen, Jurchen will soon go south again!" Qu Duan said.

"Oh? Will go south soon? Doesn't that mean that we are in danger in Hanzhong?" Zhao Chen said.

"From Weichen’s point of view, the Jurchens may not attack Hanzhong! They were defeated at Dasanguan last year. They also know that the terrain of Dasanguan and Monkyuan is complicated. It is very costly to conquer these places! I think they will go all the way. Go south to attack Jiangnan!" Qu Duan said.

"Oh?" Zhao Chen was taken aback.

"Yes, they should attack Jiangnan! From the north to Jiangnan, it is relatively easy to attack in Pingchuan! On the contrary, it is more difficult to attack Hanzhong, and even if they can defeat Hanzhong, we can also retreat to Sichuan! They want to attack Sichuan through the Shu Road. It will be even more difficult as climbing! Now the land of Hanzhong is like a chicken rib, in contrast, the temptation of Jiangnan is much greater!" Wang Shu also said.

"That's the case! I understand! You guys all talk about it, if the Jurchens attack Jiangnan in a big way, can we take the opportunity to attack Shanxi?" Zhao Chen said.
