Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 81: Yang Shi goes west

"Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to go to Hanzhong! Persuade His Royal Highness!" Yang Shi stood up and said loudly.

"Okay! So there is Mr. Lao Yang! It's just that Mr. Yang is alone, who else wants to go to Hanzhong?" Zhao Gou said.

In fact, Zhao Gou was already very happy when he saw Yang Shi stand up! Although Yang Shi didn't have many skills, Yang Shi's reputation was extremely big! This person is a sage of Confucian Neo-Confucianism, even if he is the emperor, he dare not offend Yang Shi! Even Song Huizong and Song Qinzong didn't dare to offend Yang Shi when they were in power! Back then, Yang Shi had a relationship with Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others. Those people were also known as big traitors in history, and they were powerful, but those people didn't dare to punish Yang Shi! There is such a famous person to persuade Zhao Chen, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Zhao Chen to deal with it!

"Your Majesty, the Minister is willing to go to Hanzhong with Mr. Yang! Persuade His Royal Highness!" At this moment, another person stood up and said lightly.

Seeing this person, Zhao Go was stunned. It turned out that the person was Zhao Ding!

Zhao Ding was originally Luoyang Order, and later became a small official in Kaifeng Mansion! When Zhao Gou came to Xiangzhou, Zhao Ding happened to go to Xiangzhou and stayed in Xiangzhou! So Zhao Ding is now Zhao Gou's subordinate! It's just that Zhao Ding is an upright person and doesn't know how to please his boss! Therefore, the relationship between Zhao Gou and Zhao Ding is not very good! He just heard Zongze say that Zhao Ding has some abilities, so he is very important to Zhao Ding!

Seeing Zhao Ding standing up at this moment, Zhao Gou nodded and said, "Okay! You will go to Hanzhong with Mr. Yang! This matter is entrusted to the two of you! I hope you will take the Chuanguo Yuxi into your hands! The Jade Seal of the Kingdom is very important, and it should be in the hands of the emperor! The prince is young, if the jade seal of the Kingdom is lost, it would be terrible!"

Yang Shi and Zhao Ding agreed!

"Your Majesty, today you have ascended the throne as the emperor, but you can't stay in this Shangqiu City forever!" Huang Qianshan stood up suddenly after talking about the jade seal of the country.

"Oh! Why can't you stay here forever?" Zhao Gou said.

"Here is too close to Kaifeng! The Jurchens were able to defeat Kaifeng last time, and the next time they can hit Shangqiu! Whether it is Kaifeng or Shangqiu, it is a plain! The Jurchen cavalry come here, we can't resist it at all! So, I suggest your Majesty go to Jiangnan From then on, I will settle the capital in Jiangnan!" Huang Qianshan said.

"Yes, Your Majesty! There are so many waterways in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Jurchen cavalry will not be able to pass through those waterways at all! When they get there, their combat power will be greatly reduced, and we will be much safer!" Wang Boyan also stood up and said.

Both of these two are officials from Jiangnan officialdom, and their roots in Jiangnan are very strong, so they have suggested that Zhao Gou go to Jiangnan! Of course, there is nothing wrong with what they said. After arriving in Jiangnan, they will be much safer!

"You are right! It's just that we have just returned to the Central Plains and regained Kaifeng, Shangqiu and other places. Who should manage these places now?" Zhao Gou said.

His eyes swept down, and the ministers of civil and military affairs turned their heads! They don't want to stay here, it is too dangerous here!

"Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to guard Kaifeng! The old minister wants to train a strong army in Kaifeng Mansion. Not only will I stop the Jurchen people here, but I will also lead the army northward to completely recover the Central Plains and welcome the Second Emperor!" Zongze Station Came out, said.

"Okay! It's up to you! From today, you are the prefect of Kaifeng!" Zhao Gou smiled.

In fact, he himself wants Zongze to stay in the north! Although Zongze is very famous and talented, he is also an upright character! Zhao Gou has to rely on Zongze, but he doesn't like Zongze too much! Therefore, let Zongze stay in the north and become a northern barrier. This is the best choice!

"Your Majesty, General Han Shizhong Han has extraordinary skills. It's better to stay in Kaifeng and assist the veterans!" Zong Ze said again.

"No need for this! Han Shizhong is going to the south of the Yangtze River to form a Jiangnan navy to defend the Yangtze River in the future!" Zhao Gou shook his head and said.

He is greedy for life and fear of death. After arriving in Jiangnan, he still needs someone to help him defend the Yangtze River! And Han Shizhong is the most capable general under his men, so he will naturally use it for the defense of the Yangtze River!

As for Liu Guangshi, on the one hand Zong Ze looked down on Liu Guangshi, on the other hand, Liu Guangshi himself did not want to leave Zhao Go's side at all! In Liu Guangshi's view, only by following Zhao Gou can you get promoted and get rich!

In the end, the eight-character general, Wang Yan, decided to stay in Kaifeng! Most of the hundreds of thousands of rebels also decided to stay in Kaifeng! It's just that these rebels lack weapons and food, all of which require Zhao Gou to make preparations after he arrives in the south of the Yangtze River!

The night was dark, the officials had dispersed, and Zhao Gou stood on the attic, looking into the distance!

There is an excited smile on his face! From small to large, he never expected himself to be an emperor! But when the Jurchen went south, he finally had a chance to become the emperor! Now he finally realized the long-cherished wish he could not even think of!

It's just that there is a prince in the West, but the prince is not worth it! On the one hand, he has sent Yang Shi and Zhao Ding to persuade the prince! Even if Yang Shi and Zhao Ding were unable to persuade the prince, after he occupied the Central Plains, Jiangnan, Sichuan and other places, the prince would only have a small part of Hanzhong, it would not be able to compete with him at all!

"It's really impossible, only send an army to destroy the prince! Can a mere Hanzhong block my army?" Thinking of this, Zhao Gou laughed!

In the early morning of the second day, Yang Shi and Zhao Ding left Shangqiu City and headed west!

They have to go all the way west, first through Tongguan, and then from Guanshan to Hanzhong!

The two brought only a few entourages, but these entourages are all masters in the army!

Yang Shi sat in the carriage with a solemn expression! Zhao Ding is by his side!

"Mr. Yang, do you think we can persuade the prince?" Zhao Ding said.

"No problem! I told the prince about righteousness, he couldn't help but listen!" Yang Shi said.

"If the prince doesn't listen, what shall we do?" Zhao Ding said.

"If the prince does not listen, it is to ignore the country and the people, that is, I am sorry for the country and the people, and I am sorry for the first emperor! Humph, at that time, I am afraid that we will use force against the prince! Your Majesty has occupied Jiangnan, Sichuan, and Central Plains. It is easy to regain a mere Hanzhong area!" Yang Shi said.

"Now that the Jurchens haven't moved south, if we use force against the prince, and this will cause Xiao Qiang to harm Xiao Qiang, I'm afraid it is not a good thing, right?" Zhao Ding frowned.

"For the country, the people, and for the great Song Jiangshan society, that is also compelling!" Yang Shi said.

"The prince is orthodox after all, after all, your majesty is the successor to the throne! If your majesty uses force against the prince, I am afraid that the people of the world may not agree with us!" Zhao Ding said.

"We are also for the people! The people are puzzled, we can only persuade the people well! When in the future, your Majesty will rule the country and drive out the Tartars, the people will naturally not say anything!" Yang Shi said.

Yang Shi was full of confidence, but Zhao Ding frowned slightly, thinking constantly in his heart!

"It's no trivial thing to ask for the father and son. They once defeated the Jinbing, they are famous in the world! With them, it is not easy for us to defeat Hanzhong!" Zhao Ding said again.

Originally when he was in the monk Yuan, Wu Jie and Wu Lin defeated Jin Bing, but Zhe Keqiu seized the credit, and it was proclaimed everywhere that it was the Zhe father and son who defeated Jin Bing! Therefore, until now, few people in the world know Wu Jie and Wu Lin, but they all think that it is Zhe Keqiu who defeated Jin Bing! Speaking of it, this is the first time Song Bing defeated Jin Bing on the frontal battlefield since Jurchen invaded the South, so Zhe Keqiu father and son are now very famous! When they were defending the Yellow River, they heard the drum and fled, but now no one mentions the previous things! Even Zhao Ding thought that the Zhe family's father and son were proficient in military strategy and the Zhe family's army was extraordinary!

"Although Zhe Keqiu father and son are not trivial, but the place they occupy is too small after all! It's just a mere Hanzhong and can't resist us! At most, more people will die!" Yang Shi said.

Zhao Ding shook his head and said no more!

They set off on May 17th, and by May 25th, they had already arrived at Tongguan City!

Now Tongguan has been occupied by Jurchens, but Jurchens did not prevent ordinary merchants from entering and exiting Tongguan! They pretended to be merchants, and they even had a permit issued by the Jurchen! Therefore, they are not hindered much here!

After passing through Tongguan, they all went west! When passing by Chang'an, they didn't stop either!

By the third day of June, they came to Dasanguan!

After hearing about their identities, the guard at Dasan Pass did not dare to neglect, and immediately sent someone to protect them to Hanzhong!

On June 17, the two of them came to Hanzhong! It is already dusk!

Zhe Keqiu welcomes the two in person!
