Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

At this moment in the city of Chang'an, news of Tongguan has not yet been received!

The sky was dark, and Zhao Chen and Wang Shu stood on the city wall. They let heavy snow fall on them. The two were discussing the issue of the Jurchen army! They just got news from Fuping. Two days ago, the Battle of Fuping ended and Jurchen was defeated. At this moment, Yue Fei was leading the Forbidden Army to pursue Jurchen!

At this moment, a shout came from outside the city gate!

Zhao Chen looked down and said with a little surprise: "It turned out to be Yu Yunwen!"

At the moment, Zhao Chen hurriedly opened the city gate, only to see Yu Yunwen walking up the city wall with a few people, and came to Zhao Chen's front!

"Weichen, see your majesty!" Yu Yunwen knelt down and said.

"Get up quickly! Aren't you in Wugong County? Why come to see me at this time?" Zhao Chen said.

"Weichen heard the news that the Jurchen army had landed from Longmen, and he was a little bit confused, so he came to see your Majesty!" Yu Yunwen stood up and said.

"Do you have any doubts in your heart?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, I am worried that the army of the rebel Zhao Gou will invade from Tongguan!" Yu Yunwen said.

"What?" Zhao Chen was taken aback, and said: "How did you come to such a conclusion?"

"Your Majesty, when the Jurchen army went south last year, Liu Guangshi and Zhang Jun were both in the south of the Yangtze River and did not go to Kaifeng at all! At that time, Zhao Gou relied on Zongze's rebel army to block the Jurchen army! But this time, Liu Guangshi and Zhang Jun led the army. After two hundred thousand troops came to Kaifeng, I heard that they are still marching northward! Why is Zhao Gou's behavior this time different from the last time? Weichen has been thinking hard these days until Jurchen invaded Longmen two days ago When the news came, Weichen faintly concluded in his heart! I am afraid that the King Kang rebels have already joined forces with Jurchen! Jurchen landed from Longmen to attack us, while King Kang rebels invaded from Tongguan! The two of them may have joined forces!" Yu Yunwen said.

"This..." Zhao Chen was startled and immediately thought about it!

"Your Majesty, the reason why the Kang Wang rebels sent Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun and others to the north is not to guard against Jurchen, but to deal with us!" Yu Yunwen said.

Zhao Chen was upset, he had never thought about this problem! On the one hand, the current situation is very different from the historical situation. He still regards Jurchen as the main enemy and dismisses Zhao Gou! On the other hand, he thinks that Jurchen is a foreign race, and Zhao Gou is a member of the same race anyway. He never thought that the two would join forces!

"Yes! It is very possible! Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun and others are probably here to deal with us! They both have 200,000 troops, and Zong Ze has countless rebels! This time they may all be dispatched. No! No, we have to go to Tongguan immediately to support Tongguan!" Zhao Chen said.

"Yes! Your Majesty is right!" Yu Yunwen said.

They were talking here, and there was a sound of horseshoes in the distance, and more than a dozen cavalrymen were running towards here!

With the emergency tokens in the army in their hands, these cavalrymen came to the gate of the city and learned that Zhao Chen was above them, and immediately ran towards it!

When they ran to the top, they were all panting!

At this moment they knelt down one after another, and a leading corporal took a few breaths, and said: "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good...someone...someone is attacking Tongguan! It seems to be the subordinate of King Kang's rebel!"

He has been on his way until now, and he is too anxious to speak at the moment, and can't help but cough!

"What? How many soldiers and horses do they have?" Zhao Chen asked hurriedly.

"At least more than 200,000!" The corporal leader said.

"This... is actually true?" There was an incredible expression on Wang Shu's face!

Hearing Yu Yunwen's analysis before, Wang Shu didn't take it seriously, but now he knows that it turned out to be true! Yu Yunwen, who was only seventeen years old, had guessed everything! King Kang Zhao Gou really united with the Jurchens, and they both attacked the Hanzhong regime together!

"There are only 10,000 defenders in Tongguan, and it must be impossible to stop the army of King Kang's rebels! We must rush over!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, it's too late! It's too late! The soldiers who reported the news came from Tongguan. It has been at least two days, and it will take two days for us to rush over! Four days, King Kang's subordinates have already overcome Tongguan. ! It's no longer enough for us to rush over!" Yu Yunwen said.

"Then what do you say?" Zhao Chen said anxiously.

"Your Majesty, the number of defenders in Chang'an City is now extremely limited! There are only a mere two thousand people, even with the imperial battalion, there are only over seven thousand people! How can these over seven thousand people defend Chang'an? Come, Chang'an must be lost! We must withdraw from Chang'an!" Yu Yunwen said.

Zhao Chen stayed there, he couldn't believe the situation before him!

He stood at the top of the city, looking at the heavy snow in the sky, looking at the distant Jie Tiantian, and his heart was a mess! This sudden news made him feel extremely stressed!

But anyhow he is a king who has experienced countless hardships, very different from ordinary peace kings! In a short time, his heart had calmed down, and he began to analyze whether what Yu Yunwen said was right or wrong!

In the end, he had to admit that what Yu Yunwen said was completely correct!

He can't save Tongguan at all! Even if he rushes over now, Tongguan is afraid that he has fallen! Moreover, if the number of enemies really reaches hundreds of thousands, even if the quality of the army is extremely poor, it will not be very difficult to conquer Chang'an!

"Your Majesty, we must withdraw from Chang'an now!" Wang Shu said.

Zhao Chen nodded with difficulty!

"Immediately send someone north to inform Yue Fei! Tell Yue Fei that Tongguan has fallen, and Chang'an is about to fall! Let him immediately lead the Imperial Army southward! Now it is no longer important to eliminate the Golden Soldiers, and there are Jingyuan Army, Huanqing Army, and Northern Shaanxi Forbidden Army in the north. They can stop the Jinbing! And, Yu Yunwen, I want to ask you, can your production and construction corps be used? Can you fight on the battlefield?" Zhao Chen calmed down and looked at Yu Yunwen.

"The production and construction corps has been formed in less than four months. They usually focus on production and construction, but after winter comes, they have nothing to do, so the amount of training has increased! But that is the case, they are not a regular army, think If you want to fight head-on with the rebels, I'm afraid it won't work! However, the Weichen has laid down layers of defense before coming. They rely on the terrain for defense, and they should be able to block the rebel army!" Yu Yunwen said.

"Very well! Yu Aiqing is the pillar of the country. After this battle, I will definitely be important to you! Inform the people of Chang'an City to immediately evacuate Chang'an and move towards Wugong County! Also, the food, grass, and weapons stored in Chang'an City You must take them all away, and you can't leave the enemy with the slightest! For a long time, I will give you half a day to withdraw everyone from Chang'an! I personally lead the Imperial Palace Empress!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, you must leave here first!" Wang Shu said immediately.

"Your Majesty, Lord Wang is right, you must leave Chang'an first!" Yu Yunwen also said immediately.

"My intention has been decided! I will execute my orders immediately!" Zhao Chen said lightly.

He now has absolute authority. He refuses so indifferently that no one dares to say any more! Right now, Wang Shu and Yu Yunwen got busy immediately. They sent troops to inform the people of Chang'an City to leave their hometowns and head towards Wugong County!

The people of Chang'an City just got up right now, and after receiving the above notice, they were unbelievable!

"This is your majesty's order! Your majesty asked you to leave Chang'an immediately! King Kang's rebels and Jurchen have joined forces. They have used hundreds of thousands of troops. Your majesty has asked us to temporarily avoid the edge!" Those soldiers are doing emergency mobilization work!

"What? The king of Kang is so rebellious? He actually joined forces with Jurchen barbarians? Did he not know that Jurchen barbarians had taken the two Supreme Emperors? One of the two Supreme Emperors was his father and the other was his eldest brother. How could he join forces with Jurchen? ?" An old man couldn't believe it.

"Yes! King Kang's rebelliousness is at the extreme! Even your majesty did not expect such an unthinkable thing to happen! Now that the Forbidden Army has gone to the north, we must first withdraw from here, and then destroy these rebel ghosts!" the soldier said.

After the war in northern Shaanxi, the local family power almost disappeared. The Propaganda Department is doing the best job here! This is also the reason why almost all the people of Hancheng died with the Jurchens when Jurchen defeated Hancheng! As the center of Guanshan, Chang'an is also the center of the Propaganda Department in Guanshan. The propaganda work here is particularly outstanding!

The people here have almost unconditional trust and support for the court and Zhao Chen. Under the persuasion of the soldiers and propaganda officials, the people in the city got rid of their homes and headed outside!

They were rescued just last year, and they don't have much property in their family. It's pretty good to have a dozen or two hundred dollars in the family! Therefore, they had nothing to clean up and nostalgia. At this moment, the soldiers and propaganda officials almost did not encounter resistance, and all the people went outside one after another!

From the morning of the ninth day of the first lunar month, countless people have left their homes and arrived at the city gate. By noon, almost all of the 100,000 people in Chang'an City came out!

They dragged their home and headed westward!

It is snowing, their speed is a bit slow!

Behind them, the defenders of Chang'an City were transporting the grain, grass and gossip from Chang'an City one after another!

Until the afternoon, all this is considered complete!

The five thousand people in the imperial camp have not left yet. They are cavalry, different from ordinary defenders!

"Your Majesty, Chang'an City shouldn't be left to them! Simply burn Chang'an City! In this way, their army has no place to live, but can only live in the wilderness! In this winter, their combat power will inevitably suffer. Influence! Let's burn all the places we passed! The real hard walls and clear fields! They have no shelter, no food, and will leave soon!" Yu Yunwen also rode on the horse at this moment, said.

"No!" Zhao Chen was stunned, and said for a long time.

"Your Majesty, don't have the benevolence of women!" Wang Shu said.

"Women's benevolence? After many years, someone finally said that I'm the benevolence of women!" Zhao Chen smiled bitterly.

"Your Majesty, think twice!" Yu Yunwen said.

"This city of Chang'an is the ancient capital of dynasties. I can't bear to destroy it in my hands!" Zhao Chen finally said his reason!

"Your Majesty!" Yu Yunwen said anxiously.

"Let's go! We will fight back after all! In the future, do we have to rebuild Chang'an City? Rebuilding a city from an open space will take too much and it will take too long! Just leave it to them !" Zhao Chen said.

Yu Yunwen could hardly help but want to secretly burn Chang'an City, but he sighed after all! It is also difficult for him to make up his mind to destroy these ancient capitals! But he felt that Chang'an could stay, and the remaining villages and towns must be burned! In short, he must persuade Zhao Chen to implement a policy of stiff walls and clear fields!

In Yu Yunwen's view, King Kang's army must have food and grass problems! Henan is now different from the Henan before the war. After the Jurchens raged, most of Henan was filled with nine rooms, and the food production there was extremely limited! The grain and grass of King Kang's army need to be transported from Jiangnan to Kaifeng first, and then transported here! There is a problem with the enemy’s food and grass, so the best way is to build a strong wall and clear the wild!
