Prince of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 601: Zhao Gou's heart

Views:

Fan Zongyin has been in the court for so many years, and his resourcefulness can be regarded as a first-class counselor. Although he is a little impatient now, he has not lost his square inch. If something happens to Niu Hong, there will definitely be movement in Jiangling City. Niu Hong took nearly 10,000 people, and Fan Zongyin also had more than 10,000 people. Even if Niu Hong missed it, it would surely lead the remaining guard soldiers in the city to go to the palace. The city defense must be empty, and Fan Zongyin would simply take down Jiangling City in one go.

"Ah! That's right." Qin Hui also suddenly remembered something, and quickly said to Fan Zongyin: "Brother Fan, what news is coming from those people in the city?"

Hearing Qin Hui's mention, Fan Zongyin was also stunned for a moment, but soon he shook his head and said: "Our main goal of this operation is to rescue Your Majesty. The power of the believer in Wang Zhaozhen is too great. It is impossible to defeat him with our strength alone. They were wiped out. So until now, I have not actively contacted them so as not to expose them. They stay in Jiangling City, which will be of great help to our future actions." Fan Zongyin said "they", but always Did not say who "they" are.

While Fan Zongyin answered like this, Qin Hui seemed to understand, and nodded again and again, saying: "Yes. Brother Fan is right. Keep them in Jiangling City, and in the future we can also be an internal response to the letter king Zhao Zhen."

"Ah! Two adults." While Fan Zongyin and Qin Hui were discussing, a soldier beside them suddenly exclaimed, pointing to the entrance of the temple gate and shouting: "There is movement inside. "

When the soldier shouted, Fan Zongyin and Qin Hui were both startled, and hurriedly turned their heads and looked at the dark entrance of the cave. Although the situation in the cave is still not clear, they can vaguely see. Some shadows in the entrance of the cave are constantly approaching. Fan Zongyin couldn't help but shouted, "But Niu Hong?"

Fan Zongyin shouted so, but it caused a cry of exclamation in the cave. Among them, there were men and women, but the answer was soon sounded: "My lord. After General Niu Hong stayed behind and broke, we escorted your Majesty back first."

Although the answer was not Niu Hong's voice, Fan Zongyin also heard that the other party was a vice general among Zhao Goujun. Immediately, Fan Zongyin and Qin Hui both had a joy on their faces, watching as several figures gradually emerged from the entrance of the cave. , Fan Zongyin and Qin Hui didn’t say anything, and they knelt down towards the entrance of the cave and shouted: "Chen, wait and see my emperor. Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

The first batch of people who came out from the entrance of the cave were not the ones that Fan Zongyin and Qin Hui had expected, but the soldiers of Zhao Goujun, who were all ordered to investigate the situation in front. As soon as I left the entrance of the cave, I saw Fan Zongyin and Qin Hui kneeling there. These soldiers were also startled and jumped aside in a hurry. One of them hurriedly shouted to the entrance of the cave: "General, it is safe outside. Let your majesty come out." Right."

With this soldier, His Majesty Zhao Gou and his concubines and Queen Mother Wei walked out slowly in the cave. Zhao Gou's face was a little pale, and Fan Zongyin's voice just startled him, but when he heard that he was loyal to him, Fan Zongyin and Qin Hui, Zhao Gou made up his mind. He looked at Fan Zongyin and Qin Hui who were kneeling in front of him, Zhao Gou took a deep breath, with a smile on his face, and said to the two of them: "Two Aiqing, please hurry up. I can get away from the wolf this time. Acupuncture, thanks to the rescue of the two Aiqings."

"I don't dare to be a minister." Fan Zongyin and Qin Hui quickly humbled upon his majesty's appreciation. They knocked their heads on the ground three times before standing up, slowly raising their heads and looking up. At this look, both Fan Zongyin and Qin Hui were stunned. For nothing else, the gang of concubines behind Zhao Go made them confused. Didn’t they say that they will only save your majesty? ? Why did you even save these concubines? Fan Zongyin and Qin Hui were both ministers under Zhao Gou's account. Naturally, they recognized the costumes of members of the Song Dynasty imperial family. With the age of these concubines, it is naturally not difficult for them to guess the identity of these people.

Seeing Fan Zongyin and Qin Hui’s surprised eyes, Zhao Gou was also a little embarrassed. Of course, he knew that this rescue operation was very dangerous. Bringing more of his wives would add much difficulty and risk to the operation. But Zhao Gou was still reluctant to abandon his wife. Besides, he was sneaking away this time. In the future, he believed Wang Zhao Zhen would return to Jiangling, wondering how he would anger or even ruin his wife.

With Zhao Gou's embarrassed face, Fan Zongyin and Qin Hui are both smart people. They immediately guessed the reason and sighed inwardly, but naturally they didn't dare to say anything more.

Immediately, Fan Zongyin said to Zhao Gou: "Your Majesty. Time is running out. Please leave your Majesty and your Highnesses first. When General Niu Hong arrives, we can immediately leave here and go directly to Liu Tong. Now Liu Tongjun has retreated. To the south of Jiangnanxi Road occupied by the perished Peng You. The ministers have already made contact with Liu Jiajun, General Liu Tong, and they will naturally meet at the southern border of Jiangnanxi Road."

After Fan Zongyin rescued Zhao Gou this time, he would take Zhao Gou to seek refuge in Liu Tong. A few months ago, Peng Youjun tried to travel north to Qi, and almost exchanged territory with Liu Tong. Therefore, now Peng You has occupied parts of the southern part of Jiangnan West Road and Guangnan East Road. As a result, Peng Youjun, who had taken over Hongzhou, Raozhou, and Jiangzhou, was annihilated, Peng You was killed, and Hu Zhuge defected to Qi. But Liu Tongjun, who went south and occupied Jiangnan West Road, managed his own turf as a gold mine.

It is said that the princes of one party are very tightly protecting their own territory, and it is impossible to exchange their own territory. In fact, it was mainly because Liu Tong, Peng You and others were originally from the insurgent bandit army circling everywhere. Therefore, as long as they take away the army, food, grass, and property, if they are used to the movement, it doesn't matter where they occupy the mountain as the king.

After all, Fan Zongyin took advantage of the fact that Wang Xin Wang Zhao Zhen and the main force of Wang Xin Wang's army were not in Jiangling, before he rescued Zhao Gou. But because of this, Fan Zongyin and others are not capable of resisting the counterattack of Xinwang Zhaozhen, they can only take refuge in other vassals. Among all the princes, Xia Cheng sent troops to destroy his old master, the Great Sage King Yang Yao, indicating that he was a very ambitious person. Fan Zongyin was naturally unwilling to take refuge in Xia Cheng, and Gao An was too far away. Only taking refuge in Liu Tong was the only feasible solution.

"Fan Aiqing is in no hurry." Zhao Gou waved his hand and said to Fan Zongyin: "General Niu Hong was sent by me to arrest the family of Xin Wang Zhao Zhen. I'm afraid I haven't rushed back so early. Let's wait."

"What?" Just after Zhao Gou said this, Fan Zongyin and Qin Hui couldn't help but exclaimed. The two of them opened their eyes wide and looked at Zhao Gou in astonishment. Zhao Gou was also a little unhappy because of the attitude of Fan Zongyin and Qin Hui, and frowned.

Seeing Zhao Go's expression, Qin Hui immediately reacted, lowering his head hurriedly, and at the same time stretched out his hand to pull Fan Zongyin, indicating that he was a little gaffe. But even though Fan Zongyin was not young, he was still impatient. Fan Zongyin didn't notice the reminder of his old friends. Taking a step forward, he yelled at Zhao Go and asked, "Your Majesty. Why do you send General Niu Hong to arrest the family of Xin Wang Zhao Zhen? Isn't this superfluous?"

Fan Zongyin's words didn't mean to offend Zhao Gou, but he was really anxious. Now facing Zhao Gou, Fan Zongyin is obviously guilty of Regal power. With such an attitude, if Zhao Gou hadn't fully grasped the military power in Fan Zongyin's hands, I was afraid that Fan Zongyin would have been pulled down and chopped down long ago.

Zhao Gou frowned and glared at Fan Zongyin, and said, "Fan Aiqing, the family of Xin Wang Zhao Zhen is in the palace, and the soldiers and horses in the hands of General Niu Hong are far more than the guards arranged by Xin Wang Zhao Zhen in the palace. It’s a good thing to take advantage of this opportunity to capture the family members of Xin Wang Zhao Zhen, and to deal with Xin Wang Zhao Zhen in the future, but also to make Xin Wang Zhao Zhen hold her back.” This is a good thing."

Qin Hui on the side saw Zhao Gou's appearance and immediately saw Zhao Gou's unhappiness at the moment. It can be said that in recent years, Zhao Gou has been under the coercion of the trusting king Zhao Zhen, and he has not ruled the ruler or the minister. As Your Majesty, he doesn't have the slightest power in his hands. Now he has finally gotten out of the control of the letter king Zhao Zhen. He has just gained some power, but he has to face Fan Zongyin's accusations. How can Zhao Gou feel happy in his heart

Immediately, Qin Hui hurriedly pulled Fan Zongyin beside him with his hand, then took a big step forward, bowed his hand to Zhao Go, and said, "Your Majesty is wise, this is a wonderful strategy. But your Majesty’s safety is the most important. Your Majesty and your Highnesses leave first, and we are here to wait for General Niu Hong." Hearing what Qin Hui said, the impatient Fan Zongyin widened his eyes and immediately retorted, but Qin Hui once again pulled his cuffs hard and desperately faced him. He winked, and then closed his mouth forcibly.

Only Fan Zongyin closed his mouth, but Zhao Gou refused to give up. This has just left the control of the letter king Zhao Zhen and regained his power as his majesty. Now he has to face Fan Zongyin's questioning. Even if it is out of consideration for his own majesty in the future, Zhao Gou can't stop there.

Immediately, Zhao Gou said, "No! I don't want to leave here. General Niu Hong went to work under my instructions. I want to stay here and personally wait for General Niu Hong's triumph."

Unexpectedly, Zhao Gou came up with such an idea. Fan Zongyin was really anxious and said quickly: "Your Majesty. General Niu Hong is going to arrest Xinwang Zhao Zhen's family here, and he will definitely be intercepted by Xinwang Zhao Zhen's soldiers and horses in the city. Uncertainly, soldiers and horses who believe in the king's army will chase them. How can your majesty's body of ten thousand gold stand under this dangerous wall? Please leave quickly."

Although Fan Zongyin's remarks just wanted to persuade Zhao Go to leave quickly, it fell in Zhao Go's ears and the meaning completely changed. It was like saying that Zhao Go's idea was destined to lead to failure. How can Zhao Go suffer? Come on? It's just the current situation that Zhao Gou is not good at punishing Fan Zongyin's crimes, he can only insist on his own opinions stubbornly, and must stay here and wait for Niu Hong.

Zhao Gou was very stubborn, but Fan Zongyin was very anxious, and he wanted to continue to persuade him. But this time it was given early by Qin Hui, and he stopped Fan Zongyin directly behind him. He said to Zhao Gou: "Since your Majesty wants to stay here, then everything is what your Majesty said. It's just that all the empresses have already If you’re tired, why don’t you let the ministers take you ladies to rest first?"

Qin Hui's attitude was so respectful, and Zhao Gou didn't have any excuses to object. Dang Even nodded and agreed to Qin Hui's request. Zhao Gou still liked this Qin Hui very much in his heart. Qin Hui immediately beckoned and asked the soldiers to take all the concubines and the Queen Mother Wei to rest. At the same time, he bowed to Zhao Gou and pulled Fan Zongyin back.

After this retreat, Fan Zongyin finally couldn't help but complained to Qin Hui: "Master Qin, how can your Majesty be so foolish? Not to mention whether Xu Niuhong can successfully grab the family of Wang Zhaozhen, even if it is Xu Niuhong. If it succeeds, how can the soldiers and horses of the King of Letters in the city take a break? We take the family members of King Zhao Zhen, and it is impossible to leave the area occupied by the Kings of Letters."

Fan Zongyin was right. This time they were discussing the route to escape from the occupied area of the King's Army, but it was the police. Huang Yunfei was stationed at the police station. If only to leave with His Majesty, Huang Yunfei guarded such an important checkpoint of the public security, and he would not dare to leave without authorization.

But if the family members of Xinwang Zhao Zhen were kidnapped, then Huang Yunfei would not sit idly by anyway. Huang Yunfei’s heavy-armored infantry was already famous at the time of the public security battle. Although the heavy-armored infantry soldiers who fought against the princes of the past have been wiped out, the heavy-armored infantry that Huang Yunfei has retrained in recent years is not the case. How much worse than the heavy armored infantry of the year. Being chased by such an elite division, Fan Zongyin did not have the confidence to take Zhao Go out of the Xinwang army safely.

In response to Fan Zongyin’s questioning, Qin Hui said with a wry smile: "Brother Fan, how can I not understand the relationship here? But looking at your Majesty’s appearance, it is clear that you want to catch the family of Wang Zhao Zhen to vent your anger. You are so confronted in public. He even made him unable to step down. No matter how we persuaded him, he would not agree to leave. Instead of continuing to quarrel with your Majesty, it’s better to take a gamble. General Niu Hong is a general. We can trust General Niu Hong."

"Hey--!" In fact, how could Fan Zongyin not know that he would be disgusted by Zhao Gou when he persuaded him like this, but when things came, he couldn't help it. Immediately, he sighed, looked back at Zhao Gou's figure, and sighed to Qin Hui: "I thought your Majesty today is a Mingjun, but now it seems..."

Having said this, Fan Zongyin didn't say anything anymore. The minister didn't say anything about it, and it was enough to know something in his mind, but he couldn't say it. Just from Fan Zongyin's disappointed face, you can tell what Fan Zongyin couldn't say.

Fan Zongyin was disappointed, and Qin Hui was not full of disappointment. In fact, his plans over the years were simply what he wanted. But because Zhao Gou didn't hold his breath back then, he insisted on sending Zhao Zhong to capture the Longyou Queen Mother Meng, which caused some of their secret strengths to be exposed. That was why they had to give up the intelligence network that had been difficult to establish before and start from the beginning.

And the poorest one was Zhao Zhong. After that incident, His Majesty pushed all the faults on Zhao Zhong and pushed his own responsibility completely. From that time on, Qin Hui knew that this majesty was also a man of low sentiment and righteousness. It's just that Qin Hui was appointed by the Jinren to have a special task, so that he could not deviate from his Majesty.

Qin Hui patted Fan Zongyin's shoulder lightly, fearing that Fan Zongyin could not help but go to the theory with Zhao Goo for a while, and quickly asked Fan Zongyin to arrange the members of the Song Dynasty. Instead, he turned to take care of Zhao Gou.

But this time, I waited for more than an hour. Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, there was still no news at the entrance of the cave. Zhao Gou, who was originally full of self-confidence, could not sit still at this moment. He was determined to stay here before. Not only was he fighting for a breath, but he also believed that Niu Hong's trip would be a success. He hoped to use this to regain Build your own reputation.

But the reality is that Zhao Gou is less and less confident. After all, he is still in a dangerous situation. As Fan Zongyin just said, if Niu Hong fails, then he will face the pursuit of Wang Jun Xin.
