Liang Yangzu felt that a big stone was pressed on his chest, and it was so heavy that people couldn't breathe, and Zhao Gou's voice became louder: "Lord Liang, after this incident, do you think that it is possible for me to return to Bianliang and regain power? And I, this is almost the end, unless there is no reinforcements, the Jin people directly withdraw their troops, even if they can't recapture Kaide Mansion and Shandong, at least they can recover Huazhou. ”

Liang Yangzu sighed, if Zhang Jun can do this step, it will be equivalent to Yang Zhi's famous general, and Zhao Gou's situation will not be knocked to the ground again and again; now that Liu Yu is king, even if the Jin army retreats, the signing army, as the main force in the south, may not stop fighting when the strength is superior.

Three days later, Zhao Gou and his entourage after the trek, finally arrived at Yingchang Mansion, due to the advance dispatch of the report, the prefect Zhao Ding and other people opened the city gate, in the ten-mile long pavilion to meet Zhao Gou; because of Zhao Ding's insistence, Yingchang Mansion in Yang Zhi after the withdrawal of the only unchanged state capital, the corresponding policy is still the Dingbei Army, Zhao Ding also set up a tuntian camp outside the city. Zhao Ding's face was as usual: "Welcome to His Royal Highness King Kang." ”

Along the way, I received bad news from Bianliang, the forward of the Jin army had already passed Chenqiaoyi; but Chenqiaoyi was still far from here, Zhao Gou smiled all over his face, and asked everyone to be polite and said: "Now that the Jin army is approaching Bianliang, and a large number of troops have collapsed in Chuzhou and other places, I want to transfer these people and horses to Yingchang Mansion, and then go to the front line after training." ”

Zhao Ding nodded and said: "What the prince said is extremely true, but now what is really difficult to escape is the army around Bianliang. At present, there are more than 40,000 people in the Tuntian camp of Yingchang Mansion, at least 14,000 veterans, and there are also 13,000 troops in Yingchang Mansion and Chenzhou combined. ”

Kang Lu and Du Shiliang nodded secretly, the people who are ready to fight are different, no matter how small their ability is, they always think of the battlefield, if Xie Liang and the others have Zhao Ding's consciousness, Zhao Gou does not need to rely on the troops they brought, and they can continue to reorganize. Zhao Gou was overjoyed in his heart, praised Zhao Ding a few words, and said: "Lord Zhao of Yingchang Mansion, you are fully responsible, I will ask Liang Yangzu to find Liu Guangshi and the others, and let their army gather near Zhenzhou." ”

Liang Yangzu only felt aggrieved, officialdom is really a place to talk about strength, Zhao Ding is reluctant to go to the northwest, but because of his relationship with Yang Zhi, he has not entered Zhao Go's inner circle, and now seeing the territory and army in Zhao Ding's hands, Zhao Gou immediately threw an olive branch. It's just that the situation is stronger than people, and in the current situation, Liang Yangzu has to endure his grievances, and hurriedly agreed: "Lord Zhao, I hope that we can send troops on both sides to relieve the siege of Bianliang at that time." ”

Zhao Ding sighed and said: "Lord Liang is serious, I heard that Zhai Xing has returned to Luoyang and is already recruiting new soldiers, those who have not been on the battlefield, it is difficult to pose a threat to the Jin army, if you really want to fight, you still have to learn the Northern Army and take the route of elite soldiers, otherwise just like now, we can't do anything but watch." Even if Yingchang Mansion and Zhenzhou Mansion were able to raise 100,000 troops, Xia Guan still thought that it could only be used as a force to contain the Jin army, and could not be consumed, as long as our army was still there, the Jin army would not be able to attack Bianliang with all its might. ”

Liang Yangzu said in his heart, I think the same way, Liu Guangshi, the fleeing general, even if he can make an attack posture, I will be satisfied; how can Zhao Gou not know Liang Yangzu's thoughts, his eyes are on fire: "It would be good if Wang Boyan was here, he would definitely be able to come up with a move, in fact, when my father did not reply, I should have understood, and I hope that Zeng Xue can make progress." ”

Zhao Gou's guess was right, the reason why Song Huizong didn't give him an answer was that he was waiting for the news of the Henan battlefield, not that Song Huizong wanted to watch Zhao Gou fend for himself, but that Zhao Kai did not withdraw his troops from Xingzhou, and Song Huizong really had no army to adjust.

Li Gang's army in Huaixi was used to defend Jiangnan, unless Zhao Gou's army could reach a draw with the Jin army, otherwise Song Huizong was unwilling to send it to Tiankeng in vain. Jin Jun's actions show more and more that Yang Zhi's overall view is correct, but Xingzhou is in a stalemate, and Song Huizong cares more about Yang Zhi's evaluation of Huaixi.

Fortunately, Yang Zhi wiped out more than 60,000 Jin troops in the river, at least now Guanzhong is unharmed, and the Dingbei Army still controls the battle situation in the northwest even if it is attacked on all sides. Knowing that Zhao Gou had left Bianliang, Song Huizong was secretly glad of his decision, listening to Li Bing and Li Hui's passionate words, Song Huizong waved his hand impatiently and said: "Say something useful, do you have a way to make King Kang go back willingly; What did Yang Zhi say about Li Gang at that time? No matter how many victories Li Gang had, but Li Gang's experience is not something ordinary people have, and I think Zhang Jun is the same, this time he fought well in Caozhou, facing three times the enemy, he was not defeated, and half of the elite remained, he guarded Bianliang, and King Bikang reassured me. ”

Li Hui said unwillingly: "The people of the world will discuss King Kang." ”

Song Huizong shook his head and said: "You still think too highly of King Kang, I really want him to be able to compare with the third child, Lao Jiu, a young man, always has such and such problems, that is, the third child, didn't he also drive Yang Zhi back to Chang'an, but the third child has a good life, and there are mistakes, Yang Zhi is blocking the Jin army." ”

The emperor has said his fate, how can a character like Li Bing and Li Hui not understand, those who can be emperors are favored by God, just like Song Huizong, who was originally an idle king who eats, drinks and has fun, but with this fate, Song Zhezong died young, and he didn't even have an heir, so Song Huizong became the emperor. Song Huizong thought that Zhao Gou's life was not good, but in fact, what he really wanted to express was that Zhao Gou went with him and didn't have any hope.

Li Bing is the person of King Jing Zhao Qi, and he is happy to see such a result, King Jing is also a person who is likely to sit on the dragon chair, and there is one less competitor, but Li Hui, as Zhao Gou's own person, is sweating profusely. Song Huizong continued: "The third child sent a letter asking why the name of the Western Xia Dingnanfu was changed, and I have already thought about it, it is called Nanzhou, and it will be sent to the northwest tomorrow. Li Hui, write a letter to Lao Jiu, that is, I miss him, can you go back to Hangzhou to see. ”

This is a step given to Zhao Gou by Song Huizong, and if he can't go down, it completely depends on Zhao Gou's own meaning. Li Huihui's heart was in turmoil when he left the palace, since ancient times, the ruthless emperor's family, King Kang, Zhao Gou, would have returned to Hangzhou safely, but what if Song Huizong took the opportunity to contact Zhao Gou's military power? Even if Song Huizong did nothing, what would the public opinion think of Zhao Gou, and it was impossible to avoid the charge of escaping.
