Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 447 Farewell to an Era

"Don't you throw yourself into a trap..." Zhang Qiyuan was anxious. A naked vassal king came to Beijing, and he could play as he wanted. When he realized his slip of the tongue, he hurriedly shut up, and he hurriedly stopped.

Zhao Gou's face was pale, and he said dejectedly: "Mr. Wang Xiu took the lead and saved the prison country. Now that the world is in charge, it's too late to say anything. I'd better hurry back to Kaifeng."

Zhang Qiyuan rolled his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "It's not the last time yet, don't be discouraged, Your Majesty."

"Oh." Zhao Gou frowned, a little interested.

"The captives have not retreated. Your Majesty is the Generalissimo of Soldiers and Horses. Naturally, you can lead the army northward. Then, your Majesty will enter Hedong and contact the Sixth Route of Shaanxi to fight against the captives together." When Zhang Qiyuan spoke, he was also fighting in his heart. He was instigating Zhao Gou to fight against the court. what!

What does it mean to contact the six roads in Shaanxi to jointly fight against the captives?It is clear that they entered Hedong through the great river, relying on the mountains southeast of the river, and waited for an opportunity to enter Shaanxi to form a separatist regime.

The corners of Zhao Gou's mouth twitched violently, and he stared at Zhang Qiyuan in surprise, his eyes flickered and his face changed from cloudy to sunny, that was extremely exciting!

On the south bank of the river, more than a dozen pontoon bridges traversed the two banks. The horse infantry of the Golden Army Brigade was crossing the river in an orderly and orderly manner. Tens of thousands of people were fully armed on both sides of the river.What is extremely incongruous is that not far from the ferry, there are thousands of Song army cavalry in scarlet clothes and black armor, only a thousand steps away from the Jin army, but there is no tense atmosphere.

A young general, wearing a phoenix-winged helmet, a black lacquered mountain-patterned armor with fine scales, and a half-sleeved purple robe, was riding on the horse with a peaceful expression. The black armored god looked at a group of ridiculous ants.

Wearing a purple official uniform with a purple gold fish bag, Wang Xiu stood with Wu Shu, watching the scene of the main force of the Jin army crossing the river, watching this barbarian army in its heyday in history, and its military appearance made him feel contemptuous. Light emotion.

"Scholar, how is my Dajin army?" Seeing Wang Xiu's ecstasy, Wu Shu couldn't help but feel a little proud.

"The elite soldiers are indeed the best soldiers in the world!" Wang Xiu did not hide his feelings. He had to admit that the main force of the Jurchen was indeed the best soldiers in the world. Denying it was self-deception and psychological weakness.

Seeing Wang Xiu's straightforward answer, Wu Shu didn't shy away from it at all. He didn't face Wang Xiu's magnanimity, but he couldn't show it. He laughed and said, "That young general is so heroic, could it be that he belongs to the 78th general..."

"Hemen Xuanzansheren, commander of the Golden Spear Squad, with imperial equipment, 78th general Feng Yuan and Feng Zixuan." Wang Xiu replied very frankly, he didn't mind pushing Feng Yuan out, and he still pushed it out grandly.

"There are no weak soldiers under the bachelor's tent!" Wu Shu smiled thoughtfully, he had also learned Feng Yuan's methods, he was definitely a formidable opponent, at least in terms of horse army tactics, Feng Yuan could be called a master.If he wanted to know that Feng Yuan's tactics were Wang Xiu's imitation of the armored group tactics of later generations, he would have to be scared to death. Unfortunately, it is impossible to know.

"It's a pity that we couldn't break through the great stronghold of Liu Family Temple. We haven't fully grown up yet, and we need to be taught by your lord." Wang Xiu is not modest, she is simply humiliating the Jurchens.

That night, Feng Yuan could be said to have stole the limelight, breaking through the four villages in a row, directly defeating the three thousand gold army and horse army, making them unable to regain the Shuncheng warehouse.

Feng Yuan did not expand the results of the battle, let alone pretending to be good at cheap prices. After the Song army captured the Shuncheng warehouse, they immediately withdrew the main force and left only a small team to monitor. The attack was very fierce, like a tiger descending the mountain; the retreat was extremely decisive. , not dragging its feet in the slightest, no matter how tempting the benefits are, they will give up directly.

"Hehe, I didn't expect the hero to be a teenager, but I didn't expect it to be in front of me." Wu Shu smiled awkwardly, and heard from the army that the surprise attack that night, the Song Army cavalry almost broke through Dazhai, it seems that someone did it, he wrote it down .

"Ginger is still old and spicy." Wang Xiu looked at Wu Shu very unhappy, there was something in his words!
"What happened in Shangshui County was really an accident, and Gao Sheng felt quite guilty."

A few days have passed, and Wang Xiu can completely control his sadness. He said calmly, "It's up to each other. There is nothing to feel guilty about. Tell Brother Gao Wu to live well. His head is mine."

Wu Shu frowned, and said proudly: "It seems that the bachelor is not reconciled?"

Wang Xiu smiled meaningfully, and said lightly: "Are you willing? Don't worry, I have no hatred with my fifth brother, and I have no personal grievances with my husband. Everything is a state matter. However, this time I came back with a full load, but I didn't see what I wanted. .”

Wu Shu looked at Wang Xiu teasingly, and said with a smile, "Why don't you leave a few Zongji or Clan Ji for the bachelor?"

"As long as Emperor Maode and Lin Wanyi are left behind, that's what the empress wants, who will make them close." Wang Xiu is not interested in the fate of golden branches and jade leaves, only a little sadness.Regarding what happened to Qin Xianrong, he felt pain in his heart. It wasn't that he didn't want to keep the princes and nobles, but he had a reason why he couldn't. This conservative force alone could become his greatest resistance.

Of course, those women are not in the way, they are the real innocents in the war.However, the Jurchens would not spit out the beautiful meat that reached their mouths, and it would only make people more boring.As the sadness passed, thinking of Zhao Fujin, who was indifferent to him, and sister Lin Yue, who had such a beautiful demeanor, she didn't know how much humiliation she had suffered, and she couldn't help turning her wrists and sighing.

"Don't worry, the sister Lin Yue you mentioned is in my village, and she hasn't touched her at all. It's just right for you to enjoy it. As for Emperor Maode, I paid a lot of money to let my second brother give up. It's considered as compensation for the bachelor. , the bachelor has a good eye."

Wang Xiu rolled her eyes at Wu Shu, and said coldly: "You don't know, I, Wang Xiu, always have a clear sense of gratitude and resentment, and I owe them a favor. Otherwise, for the sake of two insignificant women, I would never give my empress face, why not invite Zhang Xu Fellow Daoist Bai is back."

"Human favor, what a great favor!" Wu Shu looked at Wang Xiu with a smile on his face, turned his head to look, and said playfully, "Go and see the two empresses, it's rare to meet again!"

Not far away, the vehicles escorting Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan were approaching slowly. Wang Xiu did not make a sound, nor did she express her refusal, and her face instantly became expressionless.

Wu Shu waved his hand to call for Juli, and explained a few words, Juli glanced at Wang Xiu, and immediately rode his horse towards the chariot where the second emperor was imprisoned.

"Seeing you off a thousand miles away, there is always a farewell, I'll go first." Wu Shu stepped on his horse, turned his head and smiled at Wang Xiu.

"Take care all the way." Wang Xiu's mouth turned up.

"You owe me a favor."

"What you and I talk about is business affairs, not humane."

"Haha, I knew you would say that, next time we meet, don't let me down too much." Wu Shu also understands that the war will not stop, today is just a compromise of the balance of power between the two sides, and there will be a real contest in the end.

"I hope!" Looking at the back of Wushu riding his horse away, Wang Xiufeng smiled lightly, and said softly: "You don't really know me, but I have studied you. Stop me, hum, you've lost since we met." As he spoke, he walked slowly towards the oncoming car.

"My lord, Wang Xiu kowtowed to see the two princes." When they arrived at the side of the Zhao family father and son's ox cart, seeing them being helped out of the cart by left and right, Wang Xiu made a long bow.

Zhao Huan's eyes were dull, he didn't speak, and he didn't even look at Wang Xiu much.

Zhao Ji quickly stepped forward to help Wang Xiu, and said softly, "You don't need to be too polite."

Zhao Ji also heard about Wang Xiu's recent actions in the Jin Army camp. The Jin Army general Wang Xiu and others talked about it a lot. He is well aware of the operation of power and understands that Wang Xiu should be the mainstay of the Song Dynasty. At this time, the key to the survival of the Zhao family I just hope that Wang Xiu can treat orphans and widows sincerely.

A little sadness flashed across Wang Xiu's face, and he said in a deep voice: "I didn't fulfill my duty, and even though the peace talks were concluded, I regret deeply. The Supreme Master forgives the crime of death."

Zhao Ji looked up to the sky with a long sigh, and said with complicated eyes: "I know you are loyal, but the sky does not follow me, and the sky does not follow me." Looking at Wang Xiu for a long time, his eyes were full of melancholy, and said in a gentle voice: "The imperial court will entrust you Give it to Qing, you should encourage yourself!"

Wang Xiu looked at Zhao Ji in surprise, feeling that the former monarch still had a greedy heart, and hoped that he could save him from the fire.The high-ranking people can entrust big things, nothing more than buying people's hearts or taking the opportunity to get out of trouble, Zhao Ji has become like this, buying people's hearts is fine, the root is to arouse Wang Xiu's pity and get that glimmer of life.

He understood Zhao Ji's intentions, and he was deeply moved. In terms of talent, Zhao Ji was also the best among emperors, but he was addicted to the self-indulgent flourishing age, and loved the illusory artistic luxury. In the end, he lost everything. He thought that if Zhao Ji could work hard, Even if he is a conservative monarch, he is willing to be a virtuous minister to assist the government.

After sighing for a while, he bowed deeply to Zhao Ji without any pretentiousness, and said solemnly: "The Supreme Lord's will, I should encourage it deeply, and I will never let the captives run rampant if I have a minister in one day."

Seeing that Wang Xiu didn't pick up the quarrel, Zhao Ji's heart sank. He realized that there was no hope. He was not a fool. On the contrary, he was very smart. Although Wang Xiu's words were good, they were all for others to listen to. Facing the huge power , he and Zhao Huan had absolutely no reason to return, and when he thought about it, he burst into tears and could barely speak.

A light flashed in Zhao Huan's eyes. He looked around and saw that there was no Jin army nearby, so he said in a low voice: "Could it be that the captives really have no intention of releasing them to me?"

Wang Xiu shook her head subconsciously, and said in a low voice, "I have tried my best. Although I rushed into Kaifeng to stabilize the situation, the losses were too heavy for a decisive battle. The guards from all over the country stopped to move forward. It is already possible to keep Jian Guo and ascend the throne." It's luck, the minister is incompetent, I hope the Supreme Lord will forgive me."

Zhao Huan stared fiercely at Wang Xiu first, and was surprised to find that Wang Xiu was so calm. He seemed to understand something from this, and sighed heavily, staring at Wang Xiu with a pair of dull eyes, and said slowly: "The Qing family Work diligently on the king's affairs, assist the eldest brother to ascend the throne, and hope that Qing's family will be a good assistant in the future." Under such helpless circumstances, he still considered his son's throne, and almost confessed that Wang Xiu treated the young master well, and Zhao Chen was able to ascend to the throne. What a pity.
