Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 42: Northland scenery

In the early morning of the second day, when the sky was dark, Zhao Chen had already woke up!

He walked outside enthusiastically, and Yue Fei, Wang Gui, and Zhang Xian followed behind him! These three people are now without officials and jobs, equivalent to his guards! With such three innate masters as guards, there are not many who can kill him in the world!

These days, Zhao Chen was so bored in the small courtyard, he can truly appreciate the scenery of Tongguan City today!

Tongguan City is a military city, there are no ordinary people here except soldiers! The area of ​​the city is not very large, but the height of the city wall is almost as thick as the city of Kaifeng! Throughout the dynasties, Tongguan has been continuously added and repaired. Even if the Song Dynasty was established, the strategic position of Tongguan was not as important as before, but the emperor of the Song Dynasty also repaired here several times!

It is the second day of February, and the weather in the northwest is still very cold!

When they first got up in the morning, Zhao Chen felt the sky was gloomy, and when they wandered around Tongguan City for a while, when they came to Tongguan City Wall, there was a little fluttering snow in the sky!

Snow fell on Zhao Chen, and Zhao Chen felt cool!

He looked into the distance, and saw that the mountains in the distance were also covered with snow, but the snow was the snow in the winter, which could not be melted in a short time!

"The scenery of the North Country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting! Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, only reckless, up and down the river, suddenly lost! The mountain dance silver snake, the original chi wax elephant, want to compare with the gods! Now, I can truly Comprehend the heroic temperament of this poem! That great man really swallowed mountains and rivers in anger, and was able to make such a magnificent poem!" Zhao Chen looked into the distance, but he thought of this poem of Spring Snow in the Garden in his heart!

In the previous life, as a high school student, he didn’t know what was good about this poem, but now as the prince, as the prince of the country, after experiencing so many things, he finally truly understood this poem. Words, feel the washing of this word to my soul!

"There is no Great Wall here, only Tongguan here! I am not that great man, and I don't have my own army! But my identity is different. Sooner or later I will master this country and realize my dream!" Zhao Chen secretly said.

He turned around, and led Yue Fei, Wang Gui, and Zhang Xian onward. The snow was getting bigger and bigger, and the weather was getting colder and colder!

This Tongguan city is extremely important. There were a lot of soldiers on the wall, but since the heavy snowfall, the soldiers have hidden away, and there is no soldier on the wall!

"Is this the Zhejia Army? The Zhejia Army, the main faction of the Western Army, the strongest of my Great Song Dynasty?" Zhao Chen couldn't help but say when he reached a position of the fortress.

"His Royal Highness, relying on this kind of army, may not be able to hold Tongguan!" Yue Fei frowned and said.

"Oh?" Zhao Chen was taken aback.

"This Zhejiajun is not as good as Liu Guangshi's Liujiajun, or even as many rebels outside Xiangzhou City! Although this Tongguan is a dangerous place in the world, it depends on who will guard it! Relying on such a Zhejiajun to guard Tongguan! , I am afraid that when the Jin Bing arrives, they will flee!" Yue Fei said.

"You mean it's still very dangerous to stay in Tongguan now?" Zhao Chen said with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Yes! Very dangerous! When discussing with the adults yesterday, His Royal Highness used to think that the Zhejia Army could hold Tongguan, but now it seems that this is impossible! Your Highness, we must leave Tongguan immediately!" Yue Fei said.

"Am I going to run for my life again?" Zhao Chen smiled bitterly.

"This is also no way! Your Royal Highness, it is the most important thing to keep your useful body now! Why don't we go to see what we can ask for now, let him **** us out of Tongguan! Your Royal Highness is a prince, and his status is precious. Always staying in a pass? As your Highness, it should be in Chang'an City now!" Yue Fei said.

"Let’s wait. The Jurchens have not yet come to Shanzhou. They are still a long way from Tongguan! Let’s take a look! If the Jurchens come to Shanzhou, this Tongguan is still unreliable, so we can escape. Here!" Zhao Chen said.

The heavy snow was flying, and Zhao Chen's body had turned white. At this moment, he felt like this snowflake, fluttering and flying, involuntarily! He is obviously the prince of Song Dynasty, and he is obviously very honorable, but he lives incomparably useless! The Jurchen wanted to kill him, his nine-uncle Kang Wang Zhaogou wanted to kill him, and Zhe Keqiu and others wanted to hold the emperor to make the princes!

"I'm not as good as an ordinary citizen! Forget it, it's good to survive in troubled times! I still have to be strong and accumulate strength. One day in the future, I will be able to truly control my own destiny!" Zhao Chen's A steadfast look appeared in his eyes!

This snow fell for five days without stopping. On the seventh day of February, a line of cavalry arrived below Tongguan! These cavalry are wearing the costumes of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty, they are soldiers who can be sent out to investigate the news!

Hearing these people returning, Zhe Keqiu hurriedly asked these people to come to visit him!

"Have you inquired about the Jurchen people?" Those people knelt on the ground, Zhe Keqiu asked immediately.

"General, the Jurchens are attacking Shaanzhou! I'm afraid Shaanzhou will fall soon!" said a lieutenant.

"Sure enough... they have already attacked Shanzhou!" Zhe Keqiu said blankly.

Shanzhou is now Sanmenxia, ​​Henan, not far from Tongguan! If it is conquered there, at the speed of the Jurchen cavalry, I am afraid that it will be possible to come under Tongguan within two or three days! There was originally a billowing Yellow River next to Tongguan, but now the weather is cold and the Yellow River is freezing, and there is no way to stop the Jurchens!

"Father, I have sent someone to inform Yao Gu, Yao Gu has brought Yao Jiajun towards Tongguan!" Zhe Yan next to him said.

"Very good! It seems we are going to retreat from Tongguan!" Zhe Keqiu gritted his teeth and said.

He was very unwilling to give up. To him, Tongguan is his own business. He has been operating here for a long time, but now he wants to give it to outsiders! There is no way, the Jurchen is coming fiercely, he is definitely not the opponent of the Jurchen!

"That's it, that's all... I'll leave the country, even if there is no firewood! As long as the Zhejia army is still in my hands, as long as the prince is still in my control, it will be easy to turn over in the future! Yanzhi, You immediately send someone to inform His Royal Highness that we are leaving Tongguan!" Zhe Ke asked.

At the moment Zhe Yanzhi had left, Zhe Keqiu stood in his room and sighed long.

Zhao Chen is still cultivating literature and martial arts these days. At the same time, he pays close attention to the news of the Jurchens, but his prince has no one to use except Li Gang, Yue Fei and others, and the surrounding Zhejia army does not obey his orders. , So he didn't get much useful news at all!

According to the results of his discussions with Li Gang, Yue Fei and others, they can only judge whether the Jurchens have arrived based on the behavior of the Zhejia Army soldiers!

Those scouts who were able to find a discount had just returned from Shanzhou, and the news had not yet spread. Therefore, the city of Tongguan was still very peaceful, and Zhao Chen and others were still doing their own things calmly!

"His Royal Highness, Zhe Keqiu sends someone to report, let us clean up, and follow them to leave Tongguan!" Zhao Chen was studying with Li Gang, and Yue Fei suddenly broke in and said.

"Leaving Tongguan?" Zhao Chen was taken aback.

They wanted to leave Tongguan, but they didn't expect that Zhe Keqiu even asked them to leave Tongguan.

"What happened, why did they let us leave Tongguan?" Li Gang asked in surprise.

"It is said that Jurchen has already taken down Shanzhou! Zhe Keqiu doesn't want to guard Tongguan at all. He has already decided to evacuate, and we are naturally asked to evacuate!" Yue Fei said.

Zhao Chen was originally writing. At this moment, he put down the pen in his hand and said with a wry smile: "This discount is available, is he as timid as a mouse, or is he self-aware? When he was defending the Yellow River before, he fleeed by smelling the drum. Now It's'fleeing while watching the wind'!"

Li Gang snorted coldly: "He just wants to preserve his strength! Hmph, I thought that after taking refuge in him, although his mind was impure, we could live in peace anyway, but we didn't expect to escape again!"

Zhao Chen said: "Since this is the case, let's clean up and follow him! He has more than one hundred thousand troops under him, and it will be safer to follow him!"

Li Gang nodded, his expression dimmed, and said, "His Royal Highness, I am afraid that after Tongguan is lost, Chang'an and other places will be conquered by the Jurchens! At that time, the entire Shaanxi Province will fall, where can Your Highness go?"

"This..." Zhao Chen sighed slightly, and said: "We can't help ourselves! If that time comes, we have to go to Sichuan! I don't believe that Jurchen people will go all the way down Shuguan and enter Sichuan!"

He is not in a very good mood. He has just stabilized and the road to escape is about to begin again!

By the time they finish packing, Zhe Keqiu, Zhe Yanzhi and others are already waiting for them!

The heavy snow is blowing, they actually braved the snow to drive! In addition to these generals, most of the soldiers and horses stationed in Tongguan also fled with them. Only a thousand people stayed here to guard Tongguan!
