Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Zhao Chen was still standing there. After a while, Li Gang came to Zhao Chen's front. He dragged Zhao Chen to a remote corner and talked about the situation in Xiangzhou City.

"Xiangzhou City has a large number of soldiers and horses. There are more than 200,000 defeated troops in each route, and more than 500,000 rebel troops in each route! Those defeated troops have some combat effectiveness. Those rebels are actually refugees who have fled. The'Rebels' were also self-proclaimed! In addition, Liu Guangshi came with 70,000 Liu Jiajun a few days ago. These 70,000 Liu Jiajun is currently the most elite army in Xiangzhou City!" Li Gang said.

Zhao Chen nodded.

"Now there are many brave generals in Xiangzhou City. In addition to Liu Guangshi, the number one master of the Western Army Han Shizhong is also here, and another rising star of the Western Army Zhang Jun is also here! In addition, there are also many masters in the Rebel Army, among which the most famous It's called Wang Yan!" Li Gang said again.

In a short period of time, it was really not easy for Li Gang to inquire about such a lot of news.

"Liu Guangshi, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, Wang Yan..." Zhao Chen read the names of these people silently.

The first three of these four, Liu Guangshi, Han Shizhong, and Zhang Jun are all four ZTE generals, except for Yue Fei, they all came here! As for Wang Yan, he is also famous in history. His eight-character army is the most famous rebel army in the early Southern Song Dynasty. He also made a lot of military exploits in the early Southern Song Dynasty! In the earliest days, Yue Fei was even Wang Yan's subordinate!

There are so many fierce generals under King Kang, Zhao Chen is secretly surprised!

"His Royal Highness, these generals are loyal to His Highness King Kang... King Kang is quite capable of winning people's hearts!" Li Gang was silent for a moment and suddenly said.

He was able to find out the number of soldiers and horses in Xiangzhou City, and the names of the brave generals were quite extraordinary. He did not expect that he would find out that these generals were loyal to King Kang!

"They are all loyal to Jiu Shu? To win people's hearts? How does Jiu Shu win people's hearts?" Zhao Chen said with some surprise.

"Then Han Shizhong fell in love with a military prostitute, but Han Shizhong's martial arts was high, but his position was low! He wanted to leave with the military prostitute, but the steward of the military prostitute camp ignored him at all! After His Royal Highness learned about it, immediately He ordered that military prostitute to be rewarded to Han Shizhong! The military prostitute was called Liang Hongyu, who was said to be quite martial arts, and now leads the army with Han Shizhong...Liu Guangshi wanted to be an officer, so he named Liu Guangshi the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses... Zhang Jun was born in a humble background, so he bestowed Zhang Jun the title...Wang Yan did not seek to be an official or a title, but only wanted to be able to regain the Central Plains and resist the Golden Soldiers, so he gave all the weapons of Xiangzhou City to Wang Yan...His Royal Highness Kang is good at grasping People's hearts, once these generals have a need, he will do his best to satisfy them, so these generals are loyal to him!" Li Gangdao.

"King Kang... I really have some talent for my Jiu Uncle!" Zhao Chen secretly said.

Although Song Gaozong was a well-known emperor seeking peace in history, he discovered countless wise ministers and generals during his reign! The four generals of Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, and Zhang Jun were discovered and promoted by him. Famous officials such as Li Gang, Zongze, Zhao Ding, and Hu Quan were also promoted by him. Of course, he also promoted such peerless Qin Hui. Treacherous minister, let Qin Hui be responsible for the matter of seeking peace! Song Gaozong's ability to know people is far better than Song Huizong and Song Qinzong! If this person wants to regain the Central Plains with all his heart, it is really possible for him to accomplish something! It is a pity that this person is greedy for the throne, and is afraid of the return of the two emperors, and his throne will not be guaranteed, so he always resisted the Northern Expedition!

"I originally decided to enter Xiangzhou City this afternoon. I thought about it at this moment. I'd better wait a while and talk about it." Li Gang said again.

"Oh?" Zhao Chen was a little surprised, wondering why Li Gang suddenly changed his mind.

"His Royal Highness is so good at winning people's hearts, I don't know if it is good or bad... We have to wait a little longer, take a look, and see what kind of person His Royal Highness is! He has so many troops under him, but why he stays with him all the time. Xiangzhou City, I don't want to go to Kaifeng to rescue the two majesty!" Li Gang said.

He is a generation of famous officials. He has gone through the three dynasties of Song Huizong, Song Qinzong, and Song Gaozong. In the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty, he encountered countless oppressions and persecutions. However, he has always been able to stand firm and has repeatedly risen. ! Although he has only learned a small part of the information now, he already feels that Dao Zhao Gou is unreliable and has a big problem!

He faintly felt that Zhao Gou had great political ambitions, and that a vassal with such great political ambitions was not a blessing to the community!

It was getting dark, and the two moved towards the west of Xiangzhou City. After walking for more than ten miles, they saw a ruined temple here.

"His Royal Highness, we will rest in this temple today." Li Gang said.

Zhao Chen nodded, and he was really exhausted after walking for days! Now as long as there is a place to block the wind, it doesn't matter if it is a ruined temple!

The cold wind howled, Li Gang and Zhao Chen strode towards the ruined temple! Li Gang pushed the door of the temple open, only to find that there was a fire in the temple!

There were three people sitting in the ruined temple. These three people were surrounded by a fire, warming up there.

Through the flames, Li Gang could see the appearance of the three people. One of them was in his thirties and looked quite calm, and the other was in his twenties, with a very honest and dull appearance. , And another person is seventeen or eighteen years old, feeling unusually lively! All three of them are wearing ordinary peasant clothes, but two of them have short knives next to them, and one of them has a long spear next to them. It seems that these three should belong to the "rebels" of Xiangzhou City Up!

"The three strong men are polite! Our grandfather and grandson are passing by here and want to spend the night here, don't you know?" Li Gang walked in with Zhao Chen, bowed and bowed.

"This temple is not ours. We are just here for a while! Just sit down, two!" The middle-aged man in his 30s smiled.

"Thank you!" Li Gang nodded, and immediately led Zhao Chen to a corner of the ruined temple.

The two of them were sitting there, and the three of them on the opposite side ignored them, but continued to talk in flames! After a while, the seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man took out a deer. He peeled off the skin of the deer with a knife, skewered the deer meat with a branch, and roasted it on the fire! Gradually the smell of meat came out!

After smelling the scent of meat, Zhao Chen's stomach began to gurgle! He is really hungry during this period, not to mention meat, even if it is moldy steamed buns, he has not eaten it a few times! Many times, he and Li Gang have to rely on the bark for a living! Alongside, Li Gang's stomach was groaning! This month, Li Gang has already been skinny! Right now, Li Gang shrank and closed his eyes, forcing himself not to look at it or smell the meat there.

The three people on the opposite side were grilling meat and talking, but their voices continuously passed into Li Gang and Zhao Chen's ears!

"It has been more than one month since Jinbing entered Kaifeng. The second emperor has been captured. This is the greatest shame in the world! Ever the emperor of the Central Plains has been captured by a foreigner? Brother, second brother, when are we going to rescue your Majesty?" The young man said.

"It seems that His Royal Highness Kang has no plans to go south!" The middle-aged man in his 30s said humanely.

"He doesn't want to go south, we, hundreds of thousands of rebels, can go south to rescue your Majesty!" the young man said.

"Hundreds of thousands of Volunteers? Many of our Volunteers don't even have weapons. The only one with the strongest strength is Wang Yan. Unfortunately, Wang Yan obeyed His Royal Highness Kang! Without His Royal Highness's orders, Wang Yan would not be able to go south!" Humane.

"Brother, third brother, there is no need to argue about this issue... In fact, even if His Royal Highness Kang goes south, he is definitely not an opponent of the Jurchens! Don't look at Xiangzhou City now with so many broken soldiers and rebels, but they are all mobs! It is impossible for a hundred thousand people to defeat a hundred thousand Jurchen cavalry!" The dumb young man said humanely.

He is dull and looks like an honest farmer on the surface, but his voice is unusually sonorous and powerful.

After hearing him speak, the other two did not say much, as if they were very convinced by what he said.

"Hey, the Tartars invaded, the second emperor was captured, and countless compatriots were killed by the Tartars! It is really unbearable for my dignified China to fall into such a situation!" After a long time, the middle-aged man sighed.

The smell of meat became more and more intense. At this moment, the middle-aged man looked in the direction of Li Gang and Zhao Chen, and said, "Second, the meat is already cooked. Come over and eat."

Li Gang and Zhao Chen were listening to them, but when Li Gang opened his eyes, he hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay! Thank you so much!"

Li Gang felt that it didn't matter that he was hungry, but Zhao Chen hadn't eaten enough for several days, so he had to ask for something to eat for Zhao Chen's sake.

Right now Li Gang and Zhao Chen came to the fire. They felt warm and fiery when they came here, and Li Gang and Zhao Chen couldn't help showing a hint of joy.

The middle-aged man cut the deer meat with a knife, and then gave it to Li Gang and Zhao Chen each with a large piece! The deer meat is boiling hot, but Li Gang has already eaten it! He didn't feel so hungry, but wanted to taste it for himself. It is true that there is no problem with this deer meat, and then let Zhao Chen eat it! After a long while, the meat of the zongzi almost turned cold, and Li Gang looked at Zhao Chen and nodded at Zhao Chen. Zhao Chen ate it!

The two hadn't eaten meat for more than a month, and at the moment they all felt that Zhangzi meat was so beautiful! Especially Zhao Chen, he has never suffered such suffering since he was a child, and he eats very quickly at this moment! It's just that although he eats extremely fast, he still gives people an elegant feeling! He stayed in the palace for more than half a year and received more than half a year of royal etiquette education. Whether it is sleeping, eating, etc., he has a set of etiquette rules! As a result, his every move appeared elegant and generous. Although he had fled for a month, his body was dusty and his clothes were worn out, but his body still inevitably showed nobleness!

The three of them originally regarded Li Gang and Zhao Chen as ordinary grandchildren, but at this moment they realized that this was not the case.

"This old man, did your grandfather and grandson escape here?" the middle-aged humane said.

"Not bad!" Li Gang nodded.

"Where did you escape from? Listening to your accent, it looks like a Kaifeng family!" the middle-aged man said again.

"We escaped from Kaifeng!" Li Gang said.

Upon hearing this, the faces of all three of them showed surprised expressions! There are a lot of people fleeing in Xiangzhou City, but most of them are from the Hebei and Hedong generations, and almost none come from Kaifeng Prefecture!

"I heard that Kaifeng City was surrounded by 100,000 Jurchen Tartars. Almost not many people were able to escape. How did you escape?" The middle-aged humane said.

"We originally lived outside the city of Kaifeng. When the Jurchen Tartar arrived, we hid in the hill next to it, so that we could escape!" Li Gang said.

"It turned out to be outside Kaifeng City... I don't know what's the situation in Kaifeng City now?" the middle-aged man said with some disappointment.

He originally thought that these two people had escaped from Kaifeng city. Through these two people, they could understand the situation of Kaifeng city and even know the whereabouts of the second emperor. Unfortunately, these two people were living outside the city of Kaifeng! Thinking about it this way, it is not very strange that they can escape!

"The situation in Kaifeng is not very good! On the night of November 25th, the Jurchen attacked the city with great momentum! We had not escaped that night, and we could hear the screams of Kaifeng from far away. From the beginning of the night, the city of Kaifeng was blood flowing into a river, and the **** aura drew all the wolves out of the mountains! We knew it was wrong, so we left Kaifeng immediately!" Li Gang said.

"Kaifeng City must have become a **** on earth!" The middle-aged man sighed softly and said.

"This Xiangzhou city has so many broken soldiers, rebels, and 70,000 Liu Jiajun. Can't you really rescue Kaifeng city?" Li Gang couldn't help but say at this moment.

"One piece, His Royal Highness Kang didn't seem to have the thought of rescuing Kaifeng city, and two pieces, my brother just said, Xiangzhou city soldiers and horses are mobs, even if they go to Kaifeng, they are not the opponents of Jurchens." Middle-aged humanity.

"How about that? Did King Kang and the various troops just watch the Second Emperor be killed or taken away by the Jurchen, and suffered all the humiliation?" Li Gang said.

"This..." The middle-aged man gave a wry smile and stopped talking.

"If you want to rescue the second emperor, I am afraid it is really difficult! Now not only is the second emperor captured, but the prince is also captured, and all the clan families in Kaifeng city are captured! At the moment, only King Kang has escaped. In the future, Zhongxing University Song's hope can only be placed on King Kang! When we rebuild the army in the future, we will find the Jurchens to avenge the grievances!" said the seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man.

"Who said that the hope of Zhongxing Song Dynasty should only be placed on King Kang? When we ran all the way, we heard that His Royal Highness had escaped from Kaifeng City!" Li Gang said.

"What?" Hearing this, the three of them were shocked and stayed there all of a sudden!

"The people around the city of Kaifeng have spread, and His Royal Highness has escaped from Kaifeng City! Just one day after the Jurchen army surrounded Kaifeng, the Jurchen army began to gather in large numbers in the afternoon to pursue His Royal Highness!" Li Gang said.

According to Li Gang's thoughts, the Jurchens gathered to chase Zhao Chen that day, and the news, for example, had spread! But in this city of Xiangzhou, the ordinary soldiers and rebels didn't even know the news of the prince's escape, or even the news that the Jurchens gathered in large numbers that day. There was a weirdness in this! He guessed that it might be King Kang blocking the news. He increasingly felt that King Kang's purpose was impure, so he wanted to spread the news at this moment!

"Why don't we know this?" the young man who looked dull and honest said.

"I don't understand this!" Li Gang shook his head.

"His Royal Highness is the Crown Prince of Song Dynasty. Now the two emperors are captured. If the Crown Prince escapes, we will naturally rely on him to reinvigorate the Song Dynasty!" The middle-aged humanity.

"This is natural!" Li Gang nodded.

"I don't know whether this news is true or not... and, even if it is true, even if the prince really escaped, but the prince is only ten years old, how can he take on the responsibility of rejuvenating the Central Plains?" the 17-year-old young man said.

"Third brother, Hugh is bullshit! Although the prince is young, he is the eldest grandson of the emperor, and the emperor’s eldest son. He will inherit the throne in the future. This great responsibility for the revival of the Central Plains is not placed on him, but who else can be placed on him? On the body?" The middle-aged humanity.

"Brother, I still think King Kang is more suitable! King Kang is older and has countless generals supporting him. Now it should be King Kang leading everyone to rejuvenate the Central Plains... But King Kang is a feudal king and cannot inherit the throne, and he will lead everyone without fluorine. ... But now it is a chaotic world, and we can't take care of many laws and rules, eldest brother, second elder brother, can you make King Kang the lord of the world?" The young man hesitated for a while and said.

"Nonsense!" At this moment, the dull young man let out an angry roar. This sound shook people's ears rumblingly, and the dust on the wall of the ruined temple was shaken to fall. Obviously, he was extremely angry! His face turned red at the moment, and he pointed at the young man, his fingers trembling!

"Second brother, I..." The young man sat aside with a look of fear, not daring to say more.

"Huh! Although King Kang is old and supported by countless generals, he is only a feudal king! The two emperors were captured, and it is natural and natural for the prince to inherit the throne. What qualifications does King Kang have to inherit the throne? Third brother, What you just said was extremely rebellious, and I won't let me hear such words again in the future!" The dull young man said coldly.

"Second brother, I understand, I was confused for a while..." the young man said numbly.

"Loyal, moral integrity! You must always remember the word loyalty!" The dull young man's voice gradually calmed, said.

The ancients emphasized a word of loyalty. This loyalty is not the same as the loyalty of later generations. It is loyal to the emperor and the monarch! Loyalty is the foundation of life for the ancients, and it is also the most basic moral requirement of life. There is nothing worse than unfaithfulness in this era! The second emperor was captured, the prince flees, the people of that day must be loyal to the prince! The two emperors were captured, not loyal to the crown prince but loyal to a vassal king, and even supported the vassal king as the lord of the world. This did not conform to the moral standards and patriarchal ideals of the ancients. It was an extremely rebellious and very immoral behavior. Called "great rebellion", so the dull young talent was extremely angry!

Li Gang listened to these people and nodded secretly! He thought that although the north was occupied by the Jurchens, the people in the north still did not forget the "loyalty". With the support of these many people, Zhongxing Dasong was not impossible!

He bowed his head thinking about the matter, but did not see that the dull young man over there suddenly raised his head and looked outside the temple! After a while, the middle-aged and young people also looked up outside the temple! After another while, Zhao Chen also raised his head and looked outside the temple! At this time, Li Gang was finally alert!

"What happened?" Li Gang said.
