Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 43: West again

Because it was snowing, the sky was very gloomy, and the road was very smooth, so their marching speed was extremely slow!

Zhao Chen is in the army, the three brothers Yue Fei are by his side, and Zhe Keqiu is also by his side at this moment!

Everyone rode on horses, slowly moving forward!

Zhao Chen’s hair has turned white, and said: "General Zhe, you are the Xuanfu Envoy of Shaanxi, responsible for the defense of the whole Shaanxi! This Tongguan is the gateway to Guanshan, which is very important. Now you give up here, you can be worthy of your father The emperor's great trust on you?"

Zhe Keqiu was stunned. He did not expect that His Royal Highness would ask this question, and immediately said: "His Royal Highness does not need to worry. I have sent someone to inform General Yao Guyao that he will bring people to Tongguan to defend Tongguan!"

Zhao Chen was stunned, and Yue Fei and the others next to him were also stunned. They didn't expect that Zhe Keqiu still had such a hand! But after another thought, they all understood Zhe Keqiu's plan. Zhe Keqiu wanted to rely on Yao Gu's Yao family to resist the Jurchens!

"Is the Jurchen not far from Tongguan?" Zhao Chen said.

"His Royal Highness is wise, the Jurchens are indeed not very far from here! They have already arrived in Shanzhou!" As for Zhao Chen's quick reaction, Zhe Keqiu was slightly surprised!

Only soon, Zhao Chen’s face showed an expression of horror. He lashed the horse with a whip to make the horse speed forward. He was still yelling: "Since the Jurchen has arrived in Shanzhou, the distance It’s not far here, what are you doing so slowly?"

He yelled in his mouth, but his body was trembling constantly, as if he was terrified of panic!

Seeing Zhao Chen's appearance, Zhe Keqiu's face showed a smile! Such a prince is the prince he "likes", and only such a cowardly prince will be without any threat!

"His Royal Highness, don't be afraid. With more than 100,000 troops in my Zhe family, you can always protect Your Highness's safety!" Zhe Keqiu chased up and said.

"Okay, I only need to rely on the Zhe Family Army now!" Zhao Chen's face was pale, and he gasped.

"The army of the Zhe family is a powerful army in the northwest, let alone the Jurchens have not come yet, even if they do, we can still stop them!" Zhe Keqiu assured.

"Hey! When the Jurchens just went south, I once suggested that the father moved the capital, but the father didn't listen! If the father followed my advice, how could he be captured by the Jurchen?" Zhao Chen sighed.

"When the Jurchens just went south...Did the Jurchens already lay down the three northern towns?" Zhe Ke asked.

"Of course it hasn't been beaten yet! But I know we are definitely not their opponents!" Zhao Chen shook his head.

"His Royal Highness is still wise. At that time, I could guess that Jurchen is powerful and will eventually take Kaifeng!" Zhe Keqiu "complied" from the side.

On the surface, he complimented him, but he actually despised the prince Zhao Chen to the extreme! Just as the Jurchen went south, the prince was about to move his capital. How timid and timid was the prince?

Thinking of this, he really wanted to laugh! At the side, Zhao Chen saw his smug look, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth!

The Northern Song Dynasty lacked horses, so did the Zhejia Army. Except for a small number of cavalry, the Zhejia Army was mostly infantry! Their training is slack on weekdays. At this moment, the marching speed of these infantrymen is also extremely slow!

It took them a whole afternoon to walk dozens of miles!

At this moment, they rushed to a small town, and rested in this small town that night. In the middle of the night, a loud noise suddenly came from outside!

Zhao Chen was awakened in his sleep, he hurriedly put on his clothes and walked out, and Yue Fei and the others had already greeted him.

"What happened?" Zhao Chen said.

"It seems that other soldiers from the Western Army have arrived, like Yao Jiajun!" Yue Fei said.

"Oh! Yao Jiajun, then Yao Gu is also a general of the Western Army, I don't know if he is among them?" Zhao Chen said.

"We don't know this!" Yue Fei said.

"I want to go out and take a look!" Zhao Chen said.

Zhao Chen wants to go out to take a look, Yue Fei and others naturally follow!

It was just that they had just arrived at the door, and then they discovered that there were many soldiers from the Zhejia Army guarding them. These soldiers actually blocked them and prevented them from passing!

"I am the prince, you dare to stop me?" Zhao Chen said coldly.

"His Royal Highness, this is an order from General Zhe, don't embarrass us!" The leader of the school lieutenant is still Kang An, and he smiled bitterly.

"Hmph, the crown prince is the crown prince of the country, and his status is still higher than that of your generals! Your Royal Highness is going out, even if the generals can't stop them, you dare to stop them?" Zhang Xian said coldly.

"Sorry, I can't let you go without General Zhe's order!" Kang An said.

"What if we must go there?" Zhang Xian said.

"Please don't force us!" Kang An said.

The soldiers of the Zhejia Army had already picked up their weapons and pointed them in this direction. Seeing that the conflict was about to occur, Zhao Chen finally spoke, "Forget it, since General Zhe will not let us out, then we will not Go out! Believe that he is also for our good, let's go back!"

He turned and left, Zhang Xian looked at Kang An and the others angrily, and finally left!

After returning to the house, Zhang Xian was still aggrieved, and said, "You deserve to die for all the crimes. We are free in name, but in fact we are still under house arrest!"

Zhao Chen smiled faintly, and said: "He wants to completely control us and not let us see Yao Gu! Is he afraid that Yao Gu will take us away?"

In fact, it is indeed such an idea! Now he must firmly grasp Zhao Chen, and must not let Zhao Chen fall into the hands of the others! Otherwise, his grand plan of "holding the emperor in order to make the princes" cannot be implemented!

"His Royal Highness, we stay here, just like staying in a wolf den, dangerous! Why don't I **** you out and see Yao Gu, then your Highness will be truly free!" Yue Fei said.

"This..." Zhao Chen pondered, and after a long time, he said: "Forget it! In the troubled times, no one knows what will happen! Zhe Keqiu's mind is not pure, so is Yao Gu's mind pure? Furthermore, Yao Gu obviously had no brains, and Zheke asked to give Tongguan to him. This was to use him to resist Jin Bing. He was so scheming! If I followed him, even if he is loyal to me, I’m afraid he will. Was killed by Jin Bing! Besides, if I were in his army, would Zhe Keqiu give up? Zhe family's 150,000 army, when I was'robbed' by him, what's the point?"

Yue Fei nodded and said, "Since this is the case, let's stay here! Let's follow the discounts available!"

In fact, although Yao Jiajun arrived, Yao Gu himself did not come here at all! Zhe Keqiu gave Tongguan and Chang'an to Yao Gu. Yao Gu has already gone to Chang'an. He just sent more than 10,000 soldiers to accept Tongguan!

In the early morning of the second day, Zhao Chen once again followed Zhe Keqiu and the others to the west, Zhe Keqiu still followed Zhao Chen's side!

"Are we going to Chang'an?" Zhao Chen looked into the distance and said.

"His Royal Highness, the Jurchens are coming fiercely. It may not be safe to reach Chang'an. Let's keep going west!" Zhe Ke asked.

"Go all the way west?" Zhao Chen was stunned there!

To be honest, he really didn't know where the Zhejia Army was going. He thought that the Zhejia Army would stop when they arrived in Chang'an, but he would have to go west! He doesn't know what Zhe Keqiu has already given Chang'an to Yao Gu!

"Yes, we go to Fengxiang Mansion, or we go to Hanzhong, and when we get there, we stop!" Zhe Ke asked.

On February 15th, when they passed by Chang'an, they didn't even enter the city of Chang'an, but passed through the south side of Chang'an! Yao Gu didn't get the news until they had gone for a long time! Yao Gu originally wanted to see His Royal Highness, but now that His Royal Highness has gone west, he gave up.

And on this day, the pioneer army of Jurchens had crossed the Yellow River and came to Tongguan City!

The leader is a young general. He looks only about 20 years old, but he is very sturdy! Although it was snowing, he was wearing unusually thin clothes. With a thick arm exposed, he could see that his skin was dark, his muscles bulged, and his whole body seemed to be full of explosive power!

His face is strange and unique! If it is a Jurchen veteran who has been fighting for many years, he can recognize that his appearance is somewhat similar to that of the former Jurchen hero, Wanyan Aguda!

He is no one else, but the fourth son of Wanyan Agudai, Wanyan Zongbi, who is well-known in the later generations, or can be called Wanyan Wushu or Jinwushu!

Now he is still young, his time in battle is limited, and his military exploits are also limited. Therefore, his current official position is only Marshal Zuo Du Jian, and he also serves as a vanguard!

At this moment, he looked at Tongguan City ahead with a look of excitement in his eyes!
