Speaking of Zongze’s body, Zhao Zhen looked at everyone intently and continued: “If there is anything wrong with Old Marshal Zongze, then my emperor Zhao Go will clashed with the heroes of all parties. At that time, there will be The loved ones hurt the enemies quickly, but the Golden Soldier didn't defeat it, and he fought in a mess first."
"Ma Kuo loves Qing, this time I asked you to do this." Zhao Zhen solemnly looked at Ma Kuo and said: "I write a letter about how old handsome Zongze fights the golden dog from north to south. After you go there , If the old man is fine before July, then you can join me in the Northern Expedition with Zongze."
Zhao Zhen said, her face became a little gloomy, and then said: "If I can't calculate, if old General Zongze is unwell or if there is any change in the situation. My brother Zhao Gou is a person who is afraid of the Kingdom of Jin in his bones. The Lord He faction around him has a great advantage. At that time, Emperor Zhao Gou will send a Lord He faction to destroy the Northern Expedition to preside over the overall situation. They will disband and attack the rebels, and the army will internalize the internal war in the civil war. In this case, Jin Jun There will be no real obstacles to the southern invasion again, and it will be easy to invade and occupy the vast hinterland of the Central Plains. At that time, our northern Han people will fall under the iron hoof of the Golden Army. And my Wang brother Zhao Gou, I am afraid that he will continue to cede land for compensation and reparation. The southern half of the country is in the middle of the mountains. The great cause of the Northern Expedition will become a dream."
Having said that, Zhao Zhen glanced at Ma Guo and Zhao Bangjie, who were shocked by his own words, and continued: "If I am not bad, Mr. Zongze will appear unexpectedly before July. Ma Guo, I need yours. Loyalty does not mean loyalty to Zhao Gou who has abandoned my Zhao family who has suffered so much, and betrayed his ancestors and family land for personal gain. It needs your loyalty to me and my Zhao family, Ma Guo, I Can you trust you?"
Ma Guo was already stunned by Zhao Zhen's words. He stared at Zhao Zhen and couldn't speak. "Ma Kuo Aiqing, if there is any change in old handsome Zongze after July, can you help me do something?" Zhao Zhen asked loudly.
It seems that he was awakened by Zhao Zhen’s words. He immediately turned down and said: "His Royal Highness Chitose, please give instructions. If there is really a change in the old commander Zongze in July, I will follow your order. Even if it is to deal with Emperor Gaozong, I don’t hesitate, too."
Ma Guo didn't say enough, he must execute Zhao Zhen's order only if there was something wrong with the old coach Zongze in July. From the beginning of meeting with Zhao Zhen, through Zhao Zhen’s speech with him, he knew that Zhao Zhen was also very ambitious, and begging for mercy and fleeing when Zhao Gou fought against Jin did not save Huizong, Qinzong and the Zhao family. The attitude is extremely dissatisfied, I am afraid the two will eventually fight for the throne in the future. If two people are vying for the throne, Ma Guo does not want to participate in it from the heart.
But if Zhao Zhen can really figure out something, after going to Kaifeng by herself, if the old handsome Zongze really has a condition before July because of physical discomfort, then it proves that Zhao Zhen really has the ability to calculate. , Or there are many spies. But in any case, when the time comes, I will not let Zhao Zhen's future golden soldiers occupy the land of the northern country, even if it is to break with Zhao Gou for the Northern Expedition, he will not hesitate.
"Okay! Ma Kuo Aiqing, you are really a good boy of my Da Song! If there really is an unfortunate event in the old commander Zongze before July, you will unite all the rebels, the Anti-Golden Song Army and patriotic generals, and say me Willing to accept them, I will continue to resist the Northern Expedition and let them go north to join me. Tell them, I believe in the king! The anti-golden banner will never fall! And will never retreat." Zhao Zhen said impassionedly.
Both Ma Kuo and Zhao Bangjie were in their hearts, but they also began to have some reveries about Zhao Zhen. If Zhao Zhen could really calculate anything, it would be a living god. Then Zhao Zhen might really be the emperor of the destiny. Following him, I am afraid that after a major event in the future, he will have the power of Conglong, and he will be honored to worship the minister. "Weichen abides by the edict!" Ma Kuo bowed down.
"You went to Kaifeng, remember to go to Yangzhou to find Zhao Gou first, tell him that I am still on Wuma Mountain, and show my letter to Zhao Go. As for all the defenses of Wuma Mountain, tell them. Zhao Go knows that I escaped. , Inevitably they will try their best to destroy my plan of the Northern Expedition and try every means to harm me. Then they will secretly communicate with the Golden Dog and tell Golden Dog everything about Wuma Mountain. On the one hand, it can be used as a condition for peace, on the other hand It can also kill me, a brother who is also qualified to aspire to the throne. One side can kill two birds with one stone. However, the golden dog will definitely run in vain, and it can also separate the relationship between them, so that the golden soldiers will attack Zhao Go more fully and reduce our pressure. At that time, you will leave Yangzhou secretly and return to Kaifeng immediately, encouraging the rebels and patriotic generals to join me." Zhao Zhen stared at Ma Kuo and exhorted again.
"Weichen knows, please rest assured." Ma Kuo listened suspiciously while remembering Zhao Zhen's instructions. Ma Jiao is also a smart man. Since he knows that Zhao Zhen has ambitions, if Zongze really does happen in July as he expected, then Zhao Zhen will really have the ability to reach the sky like Zhuge Liang, and he will be regarded as an enemy of a thousand miles. External means. No matter what, all Zhao Zhen's calculations are for the sake of the Northern Expedition and the return of my expedition to the Golden Army. Then for the Northern Expedition, in order to expel the Golden Soldier, Ma Kuo thinks that he must do all the things Zhao Zhen has ordered.
"The most important point is that you will bring Yue Fei to me!" Zhao Zhen said to Ma Kuo. "This is a letter I wrote overnight. When something happens, you show Yue Fei and he will come." Zhao Zhen said.
Yue Fei was not well-known at the time, and Ma Guo naturally didn't know why Zhao Zhen insisted on asking Yue Fei, so he wrote a letter personally. But for Zhao Zhen's order, he still had to faithfully execute it, so he received the letter.
Yue Fei is a person who prefers to be the head of a chicken rather than a queen, and also a person who considers from the general direction. Although he is a political idiot, he is a genius strategist plus a tactician.
The reason why Wang Yan and Yue Fei had a dispute was that Yue Fei knew that Wang Yan had no great future in the Taihang Mountains. For many reasons, he went south to Zongze to fight against gold. Yue Fei knew that only under the banner of people with great prestige could a large number of sons and daughters of the Song Dynasty be gathered to fight against the gold, and only then could they concentrate their efforts to completely defeat the gold soldiers.
Facts have proved that Yue Fei is right. Wang Yan's prestige is limited and he cannot gather much strength. In the end, although Wang Yan defeated Jin Bing several times, he still went south to rendezvous with Zongze. The reason is that his prestige is too weak.
If it were the original letter king Zhao Zhen, he would not have the ability to make Yue Fei come and run. However, Zhao Zhen, who knew that Yue Fei came through, knew the character of Yue Fei.
Yue Fei knew that Zhao Gou was a cartilage, but he was still extremely loyal. The reason was his loyalty to the orthodox empire of China and the loyalty to the Han people in the Central Plains. Later, the reason why Yue Fei anxiously raised the rebellion of Prince Li was because Xiaozong was an active anti-gold man. In Yue Fei's case, as long as there is an active anti-gold character in the heart and soul of the landlord of the Zhao family, he is willing to come forward, which is one of the reasons why he was killed by Zhao Gou.
In Zhao Zhen's letter to Yue Fei, Xiaozhi moved with reason and moved with affection. And he wanted Yue Fei to be his own marshal of soldiers and horses, and also planned the future development direction.
In addition, Zhao Zhen also clearly wrote about the hidden dangers of Zhao Gou who could not be raised. As a parent and child of Huizong, he or his descendants are the successors of the next prince. He is also the representative of the Song Dynasty court in the future, and it can be considered to be the righteous one.
No matter what it is, Yue Fei at this time is not the one who will dominate in the future, so he will definitely join him. Zhao Zhen has this confidence.
As for the large number of troops and most of them were militiamen such as Zhang Yong and Wang Shan, Zhao Zhen would definitely not allow Zhao Gou to destroy the Great Wall by himself. Zhao Zhen also asked Ma Kuo to bring two letters.
After Zhao Zhen handed the letter written by Ma Guo himself to Zhang Yong and Wang Shan, he solemnly said: "The letter to these two people is very important. You must not let anyone see it, including yourself. And you can’t let the two see them before the accident happened to the old handsome Zongze. Remember! Remember!"
Under Zhao Zhen's entrustment, Ma Kuo took Zhao Zhen's secret letters and went down the mountain, while his father Ma Zheng and Zhao Bangyan led a group of troops and people in various camps in Wuma Mountain to retreat.
In order to avoid the golden soldiers, the Wumashan Rebels chose rugged mountain roads to advance. All the cumbersome objects were abandoned by the rebels, and all the horses dragged their grain and grass forward. Even the letter king Zhao Zhen walked forward by example, even if the letter king and concubine were given special treatment, they only rode a little donkey.
During the retreat, unlike Zhao Zhen’s perception, the speed of the retreat or escape of the Wuma Mountain Rebels was very fast. The Wumashan Rebels were composed of the people who fled after the invasion of the Golden Soldiers and the defeated soldiers and deserters. They could run on two legs. This may be a characteristic of the Rebels. After all, under the invasion of the Golden Soldiers and Iron Hoof, everyone's living environment is bad, and escape is commonplace, and over time, it becomes the capital of survival. I saw the leaders of the various village masters giving orders, and one by one picked up the altars and pots and ran away. Over the mountains and ridges, with stars and moons, even four-legged horses can't catch up on the rugged mountain roads.
After a period of exercise, Zhao Zhen's kung fu has recovered somewhat. Now he is considered to be as light as a swallow, and he feels that he can't even catch up with a tiger when he runs, but now he doesn't think so. Because he saw the family members in the rebel army, when he heard the Jinbing coming, men, women, old and young, all carrying things weighing more than ten kilograms or even dozens of kilograms, their legs flew like flying on the rugged high slope mountain road. Although they stopped to catch their breath on the way, they immediately ran again. Their perseverance made Zhao Zhen dumbfounded.
Damn, who are these people? They all look skinny, but they are all made of iron? It seems that the head is important. When the head is in danger, both men and women, young and old, have exerted their physical strength and will to their limits. Zhao Zhen sat on the side of the road, sighing with emotion while sticking out her tongue.
Zhao Qing'er was holding a red war horse piled up with packages, carrying a big basket, holding a big flag in his hand, and walked over sweating profusely.
"Xinwang Chitose, you said you want to carry the banner, it's your turn to carry the banner." "You didn't see that I was gasping?" Zhao Zhen gave her a weak look, and then spit out his tongue "huhhuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Panting.
Zhao Qing'er did not pay attention to him, and passed the banner on her hand, then wiped the beads of sweat from her face, and said angrily: "Thousands of faith, you said, you have to take the lead, but we are five horses. Shan Yijun went up and down, old and young, except you, which one did not carry anything? You were the easiest, didn't you just raise the banner? Isn’t the thousand-year-old Lord talking?"
Hearing what she said, Zhao Zhen had a guilty heart and shortness of breath, and she didn't dare to speak in anguish. He was posing as a leading prince in front of all the rebels, but he was really forced to carry the banner, and he really couldn't show his face.
"Go away, Your Royal Highness, the Golden Soldiers are here, everyone is running desperately, what are you still rubbing with?" Zhao Qing'er said angrily.
Zhao Zhen secretly hated this little girl film while his father and Ma Zheng were away, cursing at herself. The little girl had never seen the world, and she didn't know how powerful Wang Zong nobles was, so she dared to yell at him. In the future, I must have this little girl who can't get up in circles before it's finished.
Thinking in her heart, Zhao Zhen stood up swayingly, raised the banner to the surrounding rebels and shook it for a while, and then strode forward. The surrounding people and the rebels saw that His Royal Highness really counted, saying that he was the first to carry the banner, and he did what he said. Then in the future, following this Dixin Wang Qiansui, he will definitely be able to drive away Jin Bing. Thinking of this, the surrounding rebels and people ran even more happily, so that Zhao Zhen, who was holding the banner, couldn't keep up.
Before taking two steps, Zhao Zhen cursed in his heart and complained. Why do you have nothing to do with such a big flag? It's too tiring to hold such a big flag in my hand. I am so happy to boost my morale, why do I promise this! This is really torturing myself deliberately.
He looked up at the flag. This is the banner that Zhao Qing'er sews himself. It is many times more powerful than the broken flag he had put together at the beginning. The flag is large, the fabric is good, the production is exquisite, and the pattern is exquisite. The yellow flag is embroidered with a four-clawed dragon, with the word "Xinwang" in the middle.
Because of the reports of the friends of the Zhongyi Society from all walks of life, plus the decisiveness of Zhao Zhendi and the decisiveness of the leaders of Wuma Mountain such as Ma Zheng and Zhao Bangjie. The Wumashan Rebels finally managed to escape the encirclement before the encirclement of the Jin Army. Just as everyone in the rebels breathed a sigh of relief, the rebel scouts at the back came to report, and the Jinbing cavalry followed them to catch up.
"How many miles is the Golden Soldier from us?" Ma Zheng asked despite the gray-haired age and height, but still very energetic.
"The main force of the Golden Soldier is less than fifty miles away from us," the rebel scout replied. "How many horsemen are there?" "I don't know, but judging from the flying smoke and dust, there are at least two thousand horses."
Hearing what he said, Ma Zheng took a breath. Two thousand cavalry soldiers must be elite. They claim to be a crowd of hundreds of thousands, but in fact, the soldiers of the rebels who can fight can make up a few thousand people and it is not bad, and the combat effectiveness is also far short.
After receiving the report from the spies, Ma Zheng immediately approached Zhao Bangjie to discuss countermeasures. Zhao Bangjie thought about it, and immediately ordered Zhao Songyong to take two hundred horses and two thousand infantry to set up roadblocks along the mountain path. When you see a dangerous place, you will ambush or block along the way, slowing the enemy's pursuit speed at all costs.
"Order the battalions, no need to hide their tracks, and march quickly." Zhao Bangjie ordered loudly: "Throw away everything that can be thrown away, and move forward at the fastest speed."
Following Zhao Bangjie's order, the fierce horn sounded into the sky, and the mountains responded for a long time.
After hearing the sound of the horn, Zhao Qing'er raised her head in amazement and screamed in a low voice, "No, Jin Bing is coming." Hearing Zhao Qing'er saying that Jin Bing is coming, Zhao Zhen's face suddenly changed. He said: "Jin Where is the soldier? How far is it from us?"
"The horn is ringing, didn't you hear it?" Zhao Qing'er quickly unbuttoned the basket, and shouted at Zhao Zhen: "Quickly, take off everything on the horse's back, no more, no more."
Zhao Zhen was flustered. He thought about how hundreds of thousands of people could escape the pursuit of the golden soldiers, so he didn't move. The donkey riders behind hurriedly got off the donkey and ran to the side of Zhao Qing'er to help her untie the rope in a mess.
At this time, Zhao Zhen saw that the people all over the mountains were throwing things. When these people left Wuma Mountain, they were reluctant to bear a single thing. They took all the altars and pots, but now they discarded them without hesitation, and then ran fast, gradually Converge into a billowing torrent, venting down.
Hearing what the scout said, Zhao Bangjie suspected that he had heard it wrong, and his strong suffocation made him feel dizzy, and his tall body couldn't help shaking slightly.
"You... say it again."
"The Golden Army defeated the army led by Zhao Songyong, and their cavalry is less than thirty miles away from us. Chief Zhao Songyong is collecting the remnants and is barely delaying the golden soldiers." The scout's eyes were scared, and the sweat on his face was like rain. Roll down.
"How is this possible?" Zhao Bangjie slapped himself on the chest and exclaimed excitedly: "Yesterday Song Yong said that he had blocked Jin Bing. Why was he defeated overnight?" Of course the scout couldn't answer this question, he could only Hanging his head and gasping for breath.
Zhao Bangjie carried his hands on his back and walked around anxiously. The most worrying thing happened. The Wumashan Rebels were caught up in the pursuit of the Golden Army.
The two thousand people led by Zhao Songyong were unexpectedly defeated by the Jinbing. The only explanation is that the Jurchens knew in advance the movements of the main force of the rebels and the position of Zhao Songyong's blocking army, so they launched a surprise attack on Zhao Songyong's rebels.
What should we do now? The Jin Bing was chasing at the end of his rank. Once he was overtaken by the Jin Bing's iron cavalry, there would be no way for the 100,000 volunteers to escape.
"I said, it's safest to stick to it, you just don't listen, and insist on going south..." The leader Liu Xi on the side was angered and convulsed, and began to accuse Zhao Bangjie.
Zhao Bangjie’s head was about to explode, and he still endured it initially. After all, this news cannot be leaked for the time being, otherwise the army may blow up the camp and collapse without a fight, but Liu Xi gets more excited as he speaks, and pushes all the faults to Zhao Bangjie and Ma Kuo’s head. on.
