Chapter 741: Killing in the Shadows

On the bank of the Yongding River, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, the Dingguo army paid tragic casualties, and finally won the victory of the war, from the first year of Jingkang, Wanyan Zongwang set out from Dading Mansion in Zhongjing, and transferred troops from Huining Mansion and Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing, and gathered more than 180,000 troops to go south to the Great Song Dynasty, hoping to change the fate of Dajin Kingdom in a war. In the past, the Jurchen people struggled between the white mountains and black waters, and their lives were too hard, but they had a chance, and they had more thoughts. When he came, he had a smooth journey, and his murderous intent was soaring, but when he returned, it was bleak and desolate, with hundreds of thousands of Jurchen sons and daughters, and less than 30,000 people came back.

At the foot of Yan Mountain, the Jurchens who had returned from exile were lying on the ground as if they had lost their strength, almost all of these people were injured, and they had no ability to think in their heads, and they only knew how to escape. I can't forget that night, countless war horses galloped from behind, and the constant howls of their companions came from their ears, and they didn't dare to turn back to save them, and they didn't have the courage to fight again. In the face of the incomparably powerful Liao Dynasty, the Jurchen warriors were not afraid, but this time they were afraid, and the Dingguo army defeated the Jurchen warriors in a dignified manner, and their artillery battalions were almost not powerful. If there are any more cavalry of the Dingguo Army at this time, they don't want to continue to run, and this kind of desperate escape is better than death.

Wanyan Zongwang sat on a stone, his eyes were full of pain, he knew that Zhao Yougong deliberately let him go, Zhao Yougong was afraid before, but now he doesn't put the powerful Jurchen in his eyes at all. After this battle, the Jurchen warriors were almost completely injured and lost their strong forces, and a large area of land in the north from Dading Mansion to Linhuang Mansion would become the land of the Han people, and Han Shizhong could easily and happily advance his Shuai Mansion to Dading Mansion or Xijin Mansion. From then on, a large area of land in the north will be connected with the Western Regions Hetao Corridor and northern Siberia. The power of the Dingguo Army will also expand rapidly. Dading Mansion and Linhuang Mansion are gone. Wanyan Sect will not guard it, and in this case, it is tantamount to making trouble for himself. Hehe, I really didn't expect it, he finished Yan Zongwang and boasted of being wise and wise, but the first war ruined the national fortune that Dajin Guo had accumulated with great difficulty, thinking about how difficult it was for Dajin to grow step by step over the years, he felt full of bitterness. He can't stand his uncle, he can't stand thousands of Jurchen people, he is a sinner in the Dajin Kingdom. Thinking of the sore spot, Wanyan Zongwang's body trembled slightly, his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of hot blood sprayed on the ground.

Wanyan Zongbi was thinking about things in a daze, but when he heard the movement beside him, he knelt on one knee and supported the crumbling Wanyan Zongwang, "Second brother." We're getting out, and you're going to have to get through it. The Han people have a saying. Stay in Qingshan without worrying about no firewood, we haven't completely failed, and there are still tens of thousands of children, as long as we return to Huining Mansion, we can still recover the lost territory and conquer the southern country in a few years. ”

"Giggles fourth, how much time do you think Zhao Yougong will give us? One year, or two years? Wanyan Zongwang didn't know why he felt even more sad after listening to those words, it is not impossible to make a comeback, but it takes time, and Zhao Yougong is the kind of person who misses the opportunity? Although he used a secret trick before, with Zhao Yougong's means, it is estimated that he will soon be able to sweep away the chaos and calm the world, and when he re-moves his troops north, he will not give Dajin Kingdom any more chances. I can survive this time, I really have to thank Murong Fu, if it weren't for the fact that the power of Yan Kingdom expanded too quickly and needed someone to contain it, Zhao would not have been so kind.

At the beginning of May of the second year of Jingkang, after a long journey, after a lot of hardships and dangers, Wanyan Zongwang finally led the remnants of the defeated army back to Huining Mansion. The Dingguo army won a big victory, Han Shizhong will not let go of the opportunity, after breaking the city of Jizhou, directly attack Dading Mansion, the defenders of Dading Mansion just put up the city gate after a little resistance, and when attacking Linhuang Mansion, because of the help of the Mongolian tribes, the siege went smoothly. When they thought that the Great Song Dynasty was going to fall into the clutches of the Jurchens, the Dingguo Army was unusual, gathering most of the soldiers and horses to fight to the death with the Jurchens, and defeated the Jurchens in a great battle, and the haze shrouded in the heads of the people of the Great Song Dynasty was also swept away, and the whole country of the Great Song Dynasty rejoiced and celebrated this moment.

In the city of Xiongzhou, Nalan Rongxi stood at the head of the city in a daze, the Khan King was defeated and fled, and the warriors of the Dajin Kingdom were killed and wounded, so it can be said that the Jurchen was exhausted. No matter how sad it is, the orders of the Khan must be fulfilled. It's time to talk to the Zhao family's father and son, how can a courtier who wants to be a Great Song Dynasty do it without the consent of the Zhao family's official family? Nalan Rongxi straightened his armor, restrained his grief, and when he turned around, he was already gone. In an empty house, Zhao Huan leaned on the couch with his neck bent, it was already Mayday, but it was strange that he felt cold. A sound of footsteps came, he instinctively shivered, she had never forgotten the tragic situation when Chen Meiren died, I heard that the Jurchens were like livestock, and they could do anything, and in the cold mountains of the northern country, some people still like men. Zhao Huan is very afraid, no one else is afraid, why is he so afraid, even he doesn't know. A Jurchen general pushed the door in, he was holding a tray in his hand, the plate was full of food, compared to the previous meal, today's food was much richer, Zhao Huan didn't dare to move forward, and looked at the Jurchen centurion in a group. Seeing that Zhao Huan didn't move, the centurion slammed the handle of the knife on the table and said coldly, "What are you waiting for, do you want someone to feed you?" ”

Zhao Huan shuddered, got out of bed like a condition, and when he saw this, the centurion secretly scolded a cheap bone, and he didn't listen to it because he had to scold him loudly. I really don't understand, how can the Great Song Dynasty have such an emperor, although Zhao Ji is Lao Tzu, he is not much better than Zhao Huan. Tear off a little chicken and eat it carefully, maybe I haven't eaten the meat for a long time, eating and eating, I can't control it, Zhao Huan devoured the devourer, these meals that were not very good in his opinion turned out to be delicacies from the mountains and seas. Suddenly, Zhao Huan seemed to be stuck, his eyes were round, like a pair of dead fish eyes, his hands covered his neck, and he made a weird gurgling sound, the whole person convulsed, and soon foamed at the mouth, and fell to the ground without a sound. Until death, Zhao Huan looked at the centurion with his eyes open. He just couldn't figure it out. If you want to kill. Just use a knife, why poison?

The dignified Emperor of the Song Dynasty died under a meal like this, the centurion smiled suspiciously, squatted down and probed his nose, and only after confirming that Zhao Huan was dead did he shout loudly. It didn't take long for Nalan Rongxi, who had returned to the General's Mansion, to hurry over. Looking at the corpse on the ground, his face turned pale, and he resisted the urge to kill and said angrily, "Yichun, what the hell is going on, what did I tell you before." ”

Centurion Yi Chun hurriedly lowered his head and said in a panic, "General Nalan, the last general doesn't understand this matter, the last general personally tried the meal with a silver needle before, and it was not poisonous." However, after the Han emperor ate it. That's it. ”

Nalan Rongxi naturally didn't believe it, so he found a silver needle and tried it on a plate one by one, and found that it was not poisonous. Now Nalan Rongxi scratched his head, it was not poisonous, so why was Zhao Huan poisoned? Suddenly, Nalan Rongxi remembered something, I remember reading a book before, saying that some poisons do not need to be put directly, they can be separated, and there is no poison when they are released alone, but if someone gets it at the same time, then it will suffer, is Zhao Huan dead on this? In fact, it is no longer important to find out how Zhao Huan died, the important thing is that no one can die anymore. I have to admire the foresight of King Khan, even if someone was going to kill the father and son of the Zhao family, Nalan Rongxi did not suspect Zhao Yougong, because if Zhao Yougong did it, there was no need to be so troublesome. Zhao Huan is dead, and Zhao Ji must be saved. Nalan Rongxi hurried to the north courtyard, and at this time the outside of the house was already heavily guarded, and not even a fly could fly in.

Zhao Huan's death was not a secret, and the Jurchens did not deliberately hide it, and when they learned of their son's death at this time, Zhao Ji did not feel much pain. Rather than being humiliated by the Jurchens all the time, it is better to die happily, but they don't have the courage to commit suicide. On the other hand, Zhao Huan is really not liked by Zhao Ji, if it is Zhao Kai who is dead now, maybe Zhao Ji's reaction will be another expression. There was a shrine in the room, green smoke curling, Zhao Ji was wearing a gray robe, kneeling on a cushion and praying constantly. If this scene was seen by Zhao Yougong, he would definitely be furious, and the dignified Emperor of the Song Dynasty would pin all his hopes on ghosts and gods.

Nalan Rongxi walked in, Zhao Huan's back tightened, but he didn't expect Nalan Rongxi to lose his former domineering, he actually lifted his hem, landed on all fours, and bowed in a deep voice, "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, the last general Nalan Rongxi is already rootless duckweed, and I hope that Your Majesty will take it in, but I ask Your Majesty to save the last general, and the last general will only obey Your Majesty from now on, and I will never dare to judge." ”

Zhao Ji was stunned when he heard this, he was surprised at first, and he didn't even believe it, but gradually he figured it out. Has Wanyan Zongwang been defeated? If this is the case, it is not surprising that Nalan Rongxi is so condescending and then respectful, and even defected to the Great Song Dynasty, after the victory of the Dingguo army, it will definitely wipe out the remnants of the Jurchen forces, and if Nalan Rongxi does not want to die, he will have to surrender. But did you surrender to the Dingguo army? Nalan Rongxi is a close general of Wanyan Zongwang, how could he take refuge in his sworn enemy, and the rest can only surrender to the Great Song Dynasty, but unfortunately Zhao Huan died, and the rest can only be him Zhao Ji. Thinking of this, Zhao Ji actually showed a little smile, the corners of Nalan Rongxi's mouth moved, and his heart churned, will he be loyal to such a merciless man in the future?

When he learned that he didn't have to die, Zhao Ji didn't know where he got the strength from, and slowly stood up, and the imperial spirit that had been consumed slowly returned, shook his long sleeves, and bent down to help Nalan Rongxi, "General Nalan is willing to submit to my Great Song Dynasty, and he is the blessing of my Great Song Dynasty, as long as General Nalan sincerely does things for me, General Nalan will be prosperous and rich all his life." ”

Knowing that Nalan Rongxi wants to rely on him Zhao Ji to survive now, he is not afraid, whether Nalan Rongxi is sincere or not is not too important, because now Nalan Rongxi is also needed to help deal with the Dingguo Army. Taking refuge is that both sides take what they need, and no one loses.

On the fourth day of the fifth month, the Dingguo army swept to the north of the Baigou River, cleaned the battlefield, and then waved its troops across the Baigou River and began to clear the remnants of the south bank. Hearing this news, Zhao Yougong's expression will not be too good-looking, if only that's all, but why is Zhao Ji alive but Zhao Huan dead? Zhao Ji is a piece of stinky shit, if you want to clean it up completely, it is unlikely, it is disgusting to keep it, Zhao Huan is different, this new emperor has no ambition, press him on the dragon chair, he is a good puppet. Zhao Ji is different, he looks harmless, but he is a poisonous snake that will bite at any time. Zhao Huan's death, I'm afraid it is inseparable from Tingyu Pavilion, I have been wondering that Tingyu Pavilion was too quiet during this time, but I didn't expect it to be such a ruthless move. finally won a battle, and then faced the chaos of the Great Song Dynasty, and the mood was definitely not good.

The Dingguo army went south, and at this time the Daimyo's mansion also began to spread a news, the Jurchens plundered countless wealth from the Central Plains, and half of it went into the hands of Zhao Yougong, the king of Qin. Zhao Yougong really wants to monopolize this wealth, but now the situation has changed a bit, if he still monopolizes it in this case, then the prestige that he has built up so hard will collapse. Wanyan Er, Wanyan Er, really didn't forget to stumble on people when he was dying.

The Dingguo army won a big victory, and there were many happy people, but there were also people who were very disappointed, this person was Zhao Kai, who had already occupied Yingtianfu. In King Yun's mind, the best ending is that both the Dingguo Army and the Jurchens are defeated, so that his Zhao Kai's resistance is much smaller, and the Jurchens seem to be fierce, but they were defeated by the Dingguo Army.

The Dingguo army returned victoriously, but was it Gao Song that greeted them? No, it is the great changes in the world, it is the old Song Dynasty that has become unpredictable, King Kang Zhao Gou rose in Lin'an, Zhejiang, King Zhao Kai occupied Yingtianfu, and Luoyang City, which originally belonged to the Dingguo Army, was also occupied by the Chai family. The Chai family, the forgotten Great Zhou royal family, when they revealed all their forces, they found that it was so terrible, the 30,000 soldiers and horses loyal to the Chai family, as well as those loyal to the new Great Song Dynasty officials, a total of 50,000 troops took advantage of Niu Gao to lead the Luoyang soldiers and horses to aid Hebei, and captured Luoyang in one fell swoop, and took most of the Henan Mansion with lightning speed. In the blink of an eye, Zhao Yougong found that the consequences of Zhao Huan's death were so serious.

Empress Chai Keyan respected the mother of the country, supported her son Zhao Xiang to succeed to the throne, and boasted of the orthodoxy of the Great Song Dynasty. The official Zhao Huan and the Cheshire Lord only have such a son, Zhao Xiang is naturally the upright crown prince, and now he has succeeded to the throne, which is logical, and even more convincing than Zhao Gou and Zhao Kai. The descendants of the Zhao family, brothers of the same clan, didn't help when they were fighting, but now that the battle is won, as soon as Nalan Rongxi lets them go, they become a group of tigers.

didn't return to Bianliang, Zhao Yougong already felt a sense of weakness and exhaustion, he really felt tired, he had lived under conspiracy and intrigue for so many years, constantly intriguing, really tired. However, there is no choice, who made him the prince of Chu and the descendant of Zhezong, even if he intends not to fight, will others let him go?

Under the breeze, the twilight of dusk fell on his back, looking so lonely, Zhao Fujin didn't know how to comfort this venerable brother. She didn't know who to support, they were all her relatives, so she had no choice but to choose nothing, she decided, when she returned to Yanfu Palace, she would take Qin Se as her companion for the rest of her life.

Why is it so difficult to live a quiet life, and why do people in the world always have to fight! Because, we are human beings, and we have to fight if we are human beings!
