Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 346 Bad Lines

Before Zhao Gou reached the station, he heard footsteps coming from the street, which made Zhao Gou pale with fright!
The number of troops who mutinied this time was not what Zhao Conceived at all. They were just a few soldiers who had no family members and did not board the ship.

It was a premeditated and planned rebellion!

Instead of camping!
Because he heard the sound of horseshoes, as well as the sounds of breathing, shouting orders, and the voices of various commands!
Zhao Gou frowned, he couldn't figure it out!
He has always treated the soldiers preferentially. Why did the soldiers rebel?It's not logical.

Of course, Zhao Gou's preferential treatment is only to ensure sufficient supply of military rations, which is completely different from the treatment of soldiers in the North.

Zhao Gou wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although the wind was howling and the rain was everywhere, Zhao Gou still felt hot and dry.

"Officials, go hide in the Drum Tower over there." Qin Hui said with difficulty.

Because the house next to it is a Drum Tower that has been in disrepair for many years, and the cobwebs are overgrown inside. Under the strong wind, the Drum Tower is crumbling, which does not fit Zhao Gou's identity at all.

And if a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, the drum tower is obviously about to collapse. If he hides in, wouldn't he suffer if the tower collapsed?

However, now is not the time to worry about this.

Zhao Gou looked at the few soldiers around him, sighed and said, "Be careful, don't leave too many traces, so as not to be found by the rebels."

Zhao Gou entered the Drum Tower very carefully. The gown on his body was squeezed out of water, and the water was no longer dripping before he entered the Drum Tower to hide.

It was also thanks to the windy weather, otherwise Zhao Gou would have been found early in the morning. The strong wind made the Drum Tower creak, and Zhao Gou stayed in the Drum Tower, shivering.

I was afraid of being caught by the rebels and chopped it up on the spot, and I was also afraid that the crumbling Drum Tower would really collapse under the baptism of the hurricane.

By that time, it's all dead.

When had he been in such a mess? Wouldn't it be nice to be King Kang?

He suddenly missed his concubine in Bianjingkang Palace, what was he trying to do with his frightened and uneasy appearance? !

He wanted to go home, but when he chose to form an alliance with Wanyan Zongwang, he was already doomed to the current situation.

Why is the golden man so unreliable?If the golden man hadn't suffered a crushing defeat like before, how could he have such a pitiful appearance now?

In the end how to do?Zhao Gou was more confused than ever.

And this kind of confusion is also constantly being delivered in Qin Hui's heart.

The seat given to him by Bianjing was a horseman, and the seat given to him by Lin'an was a Zhongshu Sheren. No matter how he looked at it, Qin Hui believed that the state of Wu should not perish so quickly.

Occupying the natural danger of the Yangtze River, as long as the original separatism is maintained, it shouldn't be like this, but he can't figure out why he started exile like this.

The general trend is over, these four words have been deeply engraved in his heart, so much so that the way he looks at Zhao Gou has changed a little.

Amidst the flickering thunder, Qin Hui's eyes were unexpectedly sinister.

It's a pity that Zhao Gou is not in the mood right now. He pays attention to Qin Hui's gaze, and he thinks more about the future and how he should deal with himself.

At this time, surrendering to Bianjing, can Bianjing's brother forgive himself?
With this idea in Zhao Gou's mind, he couldn't suppress his own thoughts. Anyway, Bianjing's elder brother is his blood relative. Although he is not a blood relative, he is also a prince.

After all, Zhao Ji had a good life in Genyue Palace, which is obvious to all.

Zhao Huan didn't like Zhao Ji, the artist emperor, but for the face of the emperor, for the majesty and orthodoxy of the royal family, and for his own personality, he even fished for the 26 princes living outside Bianjing.

More or less, he did some things to show his benevolence and righteousness, and did a lot of face-saving projects.

Of course, the face project should be publicized so that the whole world knows about it.That's why Zhao Gou had the idea of ​​surrendering at this moment.

Can I still be Kang Wang?Zhao Gou fell into a reverie.

It's just that this daydream was quickly frightened away by Zhao Kai's tragic end.

Zhao Kai rebelled and was killed by Zhao Huan with a cup of poisoned wine.Maybe I can't avoid such an end.

The wind was howling, Zhao Gou and the few ministers and soldiers were silent in the dilapidated Drum Tower.

"Officials, it's dawn and the wind has stopped."

"This will allow the private soldiers of the Cui family in Huainan to come for reinforcements!" Qin Hui said overjoyed as he heard the wind outside gradually getting quieter and his face became joyful.

At dawn, someone will notice that their emperor has been surrounded.

As long as it is not found by the rebels before their own forbidden army suppresses the rebellion.

It's not that Zhao Gou doesn't have the capital to turn the tables!
Zhao Gou stood up again and said, "Go and ask for help! Mingzhou's Imperial Army, Huainan Imperial Army, all come to King Qin!"

A soldier looked around, gritted his teeth and stood up, opened the gate of the Drum Tower, and strode out, ready to carry out Zhao Gou's order.

"Whoosh!"

A black light flashed across, and the arrow pierced between the eyebrows of this unarmored and unarmored soldier, who fell straight down.

"Zhao Gou! You'd better stay in the Drum Tower and don't come out at will, otherwise this person will be the end of you waiting for!" There was a shout of harmony from outside the door, and Zhao Gou frowned against the slightly glare of the sun. outside the door.

Zhao Gou looked carefully for a long time, only to realize that it was Zhang Bao!
Zhang Bao, who had been shot twice by Zhao Gou yesterday, was squatting on the courtyard wall of the Drum Tower with a crossbow in his hand and a cruel smile on his face.

Zhang Bao's two calves had already been bandaged. When he came to attend the banquet set up by Zhao Gou, Zhang Bao was wearing leggings. Fortunately, he was also wearing leggings. Otherwise, if the two arrows didn't kill him, he would also be injured. Only active during the day.

Zhao Gou completely panicked!

How did Zhang Bao know he was here?Could it be that he squatted outside all night?

In fact, Zhang Bao has been following Zhao Gou.

He did not leave until it was confirmed that Zhao Gou would not leave the Drum Tower again, and called the captain of the uprising and the imperial army, ready to respond.

In fact, there were not many bows and guards involved in this incident, less than 1000 people. There were [-] imperial troops stationed in Mingzhou. How to break through became Zhang Bao's problem.

As for the [-] elite soldiers that Zhao Gou had ambushed, they fled in all directions when Zhao Gou hurried downstairs.

Zhang Bao did not lead the boat guards to fight recklessly with the Mingzhou Forbidden Army. Of course, there was no need for a bloody battle to the end.

The focus of the debate between the Mingzhou Forbidden Army and Zhang Bao is not whether Zhao Gou survives or not.

"Zhang Chuantou! Let's get rich together! There is no reason to eat alone! The head of Zhao Gou can be exchanged for a lot of money from the emperor of Bianjing. Maybe he can get an official position by himself!" Shout loudly.

Zhao Gou was in the Drum Tower, and he was shocked when he heard such a conversation!
The Mingzhou Forbidden Army is just outside the door?Not only did they not suppress the rebellion, but they also added up by bargaining outside the door?
"Liu Tongzhi! This Zhao Gou can't be handed over to you! If I hand it over to you now, there is still a chance for me to survive? In this way, you and I each take a step back, isn't it a credit?"

"Let's do this, add two to five. You send 900 people, and I have 900 people here. Let's escort Zhao Gou back to Bianjing together, and face Shengzuo together. How about sharing the credit for catching Zhao Gou together?" Zhang Bao's voice sounded again.

Liu Tongzhi pretended to be embarrassed and thought about it for a long time before saying, "That's fine."

"However, Liu Tongzhi, the supply along the way depends entirely on your support, brother." Zhang Bao's voice was like a series of reminders, stimulating Zhao Gou's slightly numb nerves.

Liu Tongzhi agreed very readily.

Originally, he just happened to be at the meeting, and it was Zhang Bao who caught Zhao Gou. This half of Liu Tongzhi's meritorious service was almost the same as that of Bai Jian.

Originally, surrendering was enough to save his life. If he got half of the credit for catching Zhao Gou, he might be able to get an official position and continue to dominate.

Why doesn't he agree?
"Official Zhao, please." Zhang Bao held the crossbow in his hand and said with a smile towards the door.

Zhao Gou shouted angrily and powerlessly: "I won't go!"
