I became a saint by picking up corpses in Water Margin

Chapter 381 Yellow Robe Cause and Effect
Yang Chang was gathering intelligence in Shangjing and heard that the Liao emperor, Yelu Yanxi, had died and Huizong Zhao Ji had moved out soon after.

Did you go to Wuguo City?

This name sounds familiar, but I don’t know where it is exactly, so I can only inquire within the Jin Kingdom.

However, getting Zhao Ji back and settling him there was a hassle.

I have discussed this with Zhao Fujin before. At that time, she was only thinking about herself, but now she suddenly wanted to rescue Zhao Ji. Could it be that she was influenced by others?
Is it Xing Bingyi or Zhao Fujin?
Seeing Yang Chang's hesitation, Zhao Fujin immediately looked into the distance, sighed, and backed off. "If the king is embarrassed, just pretend that I didn't say anything."

"hehe."

Yang Chang held Zhao Fujin's waist, blew the dew on her eyelashes, and said with a smile: "Princess, don't be angry. It's not that your husband doesn't want to save you, but now the time is not right. I can ride a golden eagle to travel far, but it's just my cultivation. It can't even carry you. How can I bring the emperor back?"

"This is me."

"The Jin Kingdom is vast, and I guess the distance to Wuguo City is not short. If you don't want to go to the capital Shangjing, it will take a hundred days to go one way. The few months I was away were not peaceful, and the princess still wants to come here without a leader?"

"Ah? No, it's not."

Zhao Fujin waved her hands and said, "I haven't thought about it so much. I just heard that it's hard to go to the capital. My father has always been well-dressed and well-fed. I'm worried that his body won't be able to hold on."

"It's not that I'm mean to you, but your father is responsible for the Song Dynasty's current situation. Besides, he is the ruler of a country after all, and the Jin people will not treat him badly. At least he won't starve or freeze. Please rest assured, Princess."

Yang Chang comforted her earnestly, recalling the fragmentary information about the Song Dynasty in her memory, one of which was that after Huizong was captured and brought back to the Jin Kingdom, he continued to have many babies there.

If the Jin people really treated him badly, would he have the chance to risk his life to create a human being?

of course.

The original historical line is very different from the current one. In the original history, the Zhao family clan was wiped out, the wealth of Bianliang City was plundered, and Huizong's concubines, daughters, daughters-in-law, etc. were all divided up by the Jin people.

While the Jin people gained huge wealth, Huizong also had loyal concubines and filial daughters and daughters-in-law, so Huizong naturally received extra care.

But now.

The Jin army marched south to Bianliang and Dongjing twice, but in the end they only extorted some money and did not break into the capital to exploit the people. They even captured only a few women.

Under such circumstances, the probability of the Jin people treating Huizong well was not high, but he should have no problem keeping him well fed and clothed, but it would be difficult for him to have more children.

The female relatives who went with Huizong were quickly distributed upon arriving in the capital, leaving only the old and ugly Empress Zheng, who even the Jin people looked down upon.

Even if Zhao Ji did his job with his eyes closed, Empress Zheng was over fifty years old at this time, and the power and water supplies had already been cut off.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

"Ann? What's wrong?"

Yang Chang was absent-minded and was awakened by Zhao Fujin.

She reminded with worried eyes: "My younger sister came to me a few days ago. It should be Xing who told her that Concubine Wei was taken to the laundry house. Your Majesty should know that it was the royal brothel of the Jin Kingdom since you have been to Shangjing. The Jin people and the Eastern Court secretly allied and treated Zhao Gou's biological mother in this way. That's why I am worried that my father will suffer."

"Ah? She even said this? It seems like she really hates Zhao Gou."

Yang Chang smiled playfully, hugged the beauty tightly and comforted her, "However, the Jin Kingdom and him are not allies, but more like master and servant. Will the master take care of the servant's face? Princess, don't worry, the Jin people will let your father live well, which is more beneficial to them. Although I can't guarantee that you will be treated well, I will definitely not treat you harshly."

"I do not understand."

"It's very simple. Your father is the Emperor Emeritus of the Song Dynasty. How did Zhao Gou get the throne? Didn't the Jin people control your father and use the imperial edict to help him ascend the throne? I heard that Zhao Gou is now plotting to seize Hebei. How do you think the Jin people will punish this servant?"

"hiss"

A cool breeze blew on Zhao Fujin's face. He took a deep breath and couldn't help nodding to Yang Chang.

She then put her arms around the man and sighed softly, "I remember when Your Majesty was the governor of Qinzhou, you were not familiar with the affairs of the state and relied on military control for a long time. After so many years of political experience, Your Majesty is no longer a political rookie. You look at problems so maturely. You are already a true King of Jin. Even ruling the world is enough for you."

"Isn't all this thanks to the princess? If it weren't for the princess's constant reminders, your husband wouldn't have grown so fast."

Yang Chang hugged Zhao Fujin tightly with tenderness in his eyes, and then added: "Princess, you are pleading for the emperor today. Are you influenced by my younger sister and Xing Bingyi? Don't worry, I will do it. It just takes one or two years. When I take Hebei, seize the Great Wall defense line, and lock the Jin people outside the Great Wall, your husband can go north without worry."

"Take over Hebei?"

Zhao Fujin's heart sank.

The king has not been able to completely conquer Hedong for several years. How long will it take for him to recover Hebei?

It's okay for me to wait a little while since I'm young, but I'm afraid that the tree may want to be still but the wind will not stop, and my father may not be able to wait that long.

Thinking of this, Zhao Fujin spoke again and made a suggestion: "Your Majesty, my cultivation is not low now. According to you, I have reached the fifth level of Qi Refining. If I can find the way, it will only take me ten days to go to Shangjing. As long as Your Majesty can spare ten days and go to Wuguo City with me, you can ride the golden eagle back then, and it should not affect the safety of Hedong."

"Ok?"

Yang Chang was delighted to hear this, and thought to himself that the princess was really smart, he hadn't even thought of this.

Seeing that Yang Chang did not answer, Zhao Fujin hurriedly added: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I am a wife of the Yang family and will not affect the change of dynasty of the Yang family. I saved my father only to fulfill my filial piety. Besides, the title does not equal the power. He can't do anything big if he comes back. I will definitely..."

"Okay, Princess, stop talking. I agree."

Yang Chang covered Zhao Fujin's lips, and then followed up with a sentence: "The inspection has just started, and the establishment of Jin State has not been completed. It is not appropriate to leave now. In addition, Zhao Gou has turned against us and wants to attack Hebei. There is also the risk of war spillover in Pingding and other places, so I can't take you with me for the time being. But I can give you a time limit, how about one year at the latest?"

"Do we have to wait a year?"

Zhao Fujin felt a little disappointed.

Yang Chang sensed her mood change and quickly pointed to the north to explain, "I said one year for a reason. Even though it is midsummer in the Han area now, the weather outside the Great Wall will soon get colder, and there will be heavy snow in the capital early. Although the two of us are not afraid of the severe cold, the emperor is nearly fifty years old after all, and may not be able to endure a few days of hardship. If you don't have time to go north in July, I suggest you wait until April or May next year."

"I see. I didn't think carefully enough. A year actually goes by pretty fast."

Zhao Fujin's worry turned into joy in an instant. She hugged Yang Chang's arms even tighter, causing the mountains to tilt like waves hitting the shore, making Yang's heart distracted.

If there hadn't been a guard by his side, this guy would have been executed.

Going up the mountain at Yanmen, the Prince of Jin and the Princess were hunting in the wild. It was exciting just to think about it.

Zhao Fujin was of noble status and had a relatively traditional and introverted personality. After Yang Chang married her, he never did anything rash.

At this moment, this situation.

He believed that Zhao Fujin would not refuse.

"Princess, since we are here for a tour today, why don't we go to the nearby woods and hunt some game for you?"

"Okay."

Zhao Fujin didn't know what Yang Chang was thinking, so he agreed without saying anything, and asked curiously, "Do I need to use the magic of walking?"

“Yes, we need to go further.”

"Prince Jin, Prince Jin!"

Just when his interest was aroused, he heard an inappropriate shout, and Yang Chang's smiling face instantly sank.

Looking in the direction of the voice, I saw Yang Zhiqing smiling innocently and waving excitedly at me, but Shi Qian was following behind him.

Didn't he stay in Pingdingjun? Didn't Zhao Gou's army attack Hebei but came to his own territory?
No way?
That's not a brain-twitch, is it?
Zhao Fujin turned around and asked leisurely, "My lord, it seems that Yang Zhi is calling you. Are you still going to the grove?"

"It depends on the situation. Princess, take a look at the scenery first. I'll be back soon."

After Yang Chang finished speaking, he walked diagonally downward, but his tone seemed a little lost.

I remember the last time I went to Zhending to rescue people, I spent an afternoon hunting birds with the king on Fenglong Mountain, and later we tamed a giant wild boar.

Moreover, when the king went to the capital this time, he subdued a tiger and a golden eagle to use as his mounts.

Could there be similar good things in that grove?
Zhao Fujin had no idea that her husband, Yang, just wanted to have some fun and simply wanted to go into the woods.

When Yang Chang saw Shi Qian, he realized the responsibility he shouldered. He would have to wait a few more years to enjoy this kind of enjoyment. Once he had taken over the country and equipped his son with a good team, he could then "retire" leisurely.

Well, it seems that we have to get Zhao Ji back. Maybe we can try to abdicate the throne, which can speed up the unification process.

I have only one son, who is also Zhao Ji's grandson.

He should be happy to abdicate, right?

Fortunately, I am not independent and am still under the rule of the Song Dynasty, so this idea seems feasible.

When Zhao Kuangyin wore the yellow robe, your descendants should wear the yellow robe for me.

Reasonable.

Isn't this exactly the cause and effect that every monk in Erxian Mountain emphasizes?
Tsk tsk.

Yang Chang was thinking as he walked, and in a flash he came in front of the second general.

"Prince Jin."

"elder brother."

"You came here in person, is there something wrong with the Pingding Army?"

"There's something going on in Hebei."

Shi Qian clasped his fists and nodded, reporting in a serious tone: "My subordinate Ye Xiao recently sent back news from Hebei that several armies of the Eastern Court crossed the Yellow River from the lower reaches of Cangzhou. The Hebei defenders were caught off guard and captured Hejian Prefecture and Qingzhou. They are now advancing towards Bazhou, Yongning Army and other places."

"Oh? You actually succeeded?" Yang Chang was surprised.

I didn't expect the Jin army to be so weak. Was there a serious civil unrest in the Jin Dynasty? Did the frontline defenders all go back?

"Has Ye Xiao penetrated into Yanjing? Does he know the strength of the Jin army in Hebei?"

"some."

Shi Qian was as nervous as a chicken pecking at rice. "I heard that Nianhan returned to the Jin Kingdom first, and Talai followed closely behind with his troops. Wushi also led half of the Jin army from the west out of Yuguan, and the remaining half retreated back to Yunzhong via Feihu. Now the main force of the Jin army in Hebei is in Yanjing, and there are less than 50,000 people."

"Fifty thousand Jin soldiers? How many troops does Zhao Gou have?"

"There are four armies, said to have 500,000 soldiers, but in reality there are no more than 200,000."

"Two hundred thousand versus fifty thousand?"

Yang Chang sneered when he heard this. When Tong Guan planned to attack Yanshan, Liu Yanqing really had 500,000 troops in his hands, but he failed to defeat the Liao people who were at the end of their rope.

Although the Jin army at this time was not as strong as that in the Aguda era, it was much stronger than the Liao Kingdom at that time. Fifty thousand troops were enough to defeat the 200,000 Song troops.

Of course, Zhao Gou dared to take advantage of the situation, perhaps he really had some support.

"Who are the commanders of the Song army? Song Jiang's army from Xiangzhou didn't go there, did they?"

"Song Jiang's men are not here. The Song army's main generals include Yang Weizhong, Zhang Jun, Yang Yizhong, Tian Shizhong and others. They all seem to be quite famous."

"Without Talai, who will lead the Jin army in Hebei?"

"Wu Shu and Pharmacist Guo."

When Yang Chang heard the name Wushu, he thought, isn't he the man who shot my wife? He is also Yue Fei's mortal enemy in history. This guy seems to be very good at fighting.

Seeing that Yang Chang hadn't said anything, Shi Qian continued to speak with a fist, "The Song army is very aggressive this time. Based on their northward route, General Manager Sun calculated that the Song army was marching from the southeast and northwest in a fan shape. It is estimated that they will attack Zhending Prefecture in the end, but the Zhending defenders will withdraw in advance. So General Manager Sun volunteered to leave Jingxing, and we will take advantage of the situation to rob them."

"Sun An wants to attack Zhending?"

"Yes, the chief steward said that Pingding was always beaten, and these few times were equivalent to military training. Moreover, Chief Steward Lin was able to send troops to take down Huai and Wei, so he also has the confidence to take down Zhending."

"Oh?"

Yang Chang smiled brightly and asked, "General Manager Lin has taken Huaizhou and Weizhou. With the Yellow River as a natural barrier, we only need to defend Xiangzhou in the north. Zhending is a large territory, and the Pingding Army has only 30,000 people. Are you sure you can take Zhending and then hold it?"

"General Manager Sun plans to capture Zhending City and defend the Jingxing Passage. He said that Zhending City has high walls and strong defense, so it is easier to defend than Pingding, so."

"Okay, I know he's anxious, but let him take it easy."

"Ok?"

Shi Qian was stunned for a moment. He remembered that Sun An was full of confidence and said that the King of Jin would definitely agree, so he wanted to come in person. Why did it seem impossible?

The first batch of general managers under Yang Chang, that is, the brothers who were trained to be commanders, were only Zhu Tong, Sun An and Lin Chong.

Zhu Tong was guarding Jinzhou at this time. Before Yang Chang broke with the Western Court, he had no chance to send troops to expand. However, Lin Chong was a general who could conquer Taihang.

Now that Sun An's competitive spirit has been aroused, he plans to follow closely and become the second independent pioneer. Otherwise, his deputy Li Yanxian will grow up to be more terrifying, and may even replace him.

(Jinzhou is Pingbei Army. In the early period of Huizong, it was Pingyang Prefecture. After the Jin army conquered Taiyuan, Fenzhou and other places, it was renamed Pingbei Army for Yang Chang. Now that all the states in Hedong have been recovered, Yang Chang decided to change the name himself.)
Yang Chang knew that Sun An was loyal, but he also understood that he and Lin Chong had been secretly competing with each other, and suppressing him at this time would affect his enthusiasm.

but.

Lin Chong was able to capture Huai and Wei, and Yang Chang was directly restraining Song Jiang. At this time, his main attention was focused on several newly received states in the northwest, including Fengzhou, Fuzhou, Linzhou, Huoshan Army, Qilan Army, Ninghua Army, etc., which were all on the border of the Great Wall and bordered the Yunzhong Jin Army and Western Xia.

Releasing the animals later and causing chaos is the most deadly.

Yang Chang was at war with the Jin people, and the Western Xia was taking advantage of the situation to plunder Guanzhong. He would not feel at ease to attack Hebei unless he visited various places in person.

Of course, he would not refuse directly, so he instructed Shi Qian: "Since they are taking advantage of the situation, let the two sides fight for a while. Go back and tell General Manager Sun to observe for a while. I will finish my inspection of various states around the end of July. If the war in Hebei is stalemate by then, it will not be too late for him to send troops to Zhending. You should prepare first during this period."

"Yes, I will definitely convey it."

"You and Yang Zhi go back to Daizhou first. We will have a drink together tonight, and then we will go our separate ways tomorrow. You ask Ye Xiao to collect more intelligence. I have a feeling that the Jin army will not necessarily be defeated."

"well."
