Fu Song

Chapter 539 Identity
The room was dead silent.

After a while, there was a slight sobbing sound.

Several officials on Kuizhou Road, except for Chen Qun, actually started crying.

There is both regret and fear.

The city of Tokyo is broken.

Thousands of clan descendants and concubines, including the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor, were all taken captive.

Xia Jie died disfigured,

Obsolete fighting to the death,

Hundreds of officials committed suicide outside Tokyo.

Is this going to die?
Although he was psychologically prepared for such a result, Xiao Cheng's unexpected loss was greatly exceeded by losing so quickly.

That is the capital of Song Dynasty,
Regardless of the strength of troops, or the preparation of ordnance, and the steepness of the city,

That is the well-deserved number one city in the world,
Why did you lose so easily?
And also lost so completely.

"Futai, what should I do?" Chen Qun was also in a mess. In a panic, he looked at Xiao Cheng whose head was still heavy, as if grabbing a life-saving straw. sleeve, asked eagerly.

Xiao Cheng took a deep breath: "It seems that there is no need to go to Qinwang Tokyo, but it also saves us a lot of walking."

"Futai, the emperor is gone, the imperial court is gone, the Great Song Dynasty is gone!" Chen Qun patted the table eagerly and mourned.

Xiao Cheng suddenly stood up, looked coldly at everyone in the room, and said sharply: "The emperor is gone, the court is gone, and the Song Dynasty is gone? That's not necessarily the case. We are still there, in Jingxi, Huainan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Yizhou. Zhouzhou, Guizhou, Yunnan, Guangdong, Guangxi, etc. are all there, and the great country is still in our hands, so why did the Great Song Dynasty die?"

"But, the emperor is gone!" During the banquet, the elder of the Li clan burst into tears: "The country does not allow the children of the Zong clan to go out of Beijing, and they are all kept in captivity in Tokyo City. , All of a sudden, there is no co-lord in the world, so is there any reason not to mess up? The king's flag changes on the top of the city, and everyone wants to jump out to be the master and hold the stage. How can you resist the Liao people who are like wolves and tigers!"

"The old man is right about one thing!" Xiao Cheng said: "Now the Liao people are powerful, and if we want to resist the Liao people, we really need all of us in the south to work together and work together. A powerful force will definitely not be an opponent of the Liao people."

"So, Futai, what can I do?" The Li clan wiped away tears.

The imperial court in Tokyo is gone, and the emperor has been arrested. Looking at the south, the most powerful person is the Guizhou Road Futai in front of him.

More importantly, his soldiers are like wolves and tigers, which is not comparable to other soldiers in the south.

How many years has it been since the soldiers and horses of other routes in the south have fought?
However, Xiao Cheng's soldiers and horses have been fighting non-stop for the past few years, and this army was created by fighting.

The Li clan has lived for sixty or seventy years. They have never eaten pork, and have seen pigs running. Whether the army is strong or weak, you can roughly tell some tricks at a glance.

Although he only had a quick glance on the pier, the inadvertent murderous aura of the army brought by Xiao Cheng still made him feel that the hairs all over his body stood on end.

At this time, I turned my head to look at the river beach. Those troops who came down from the boats in batches and were burying pots and making food on the river beach, although there were tens of thousands of people, but at a glance, they were in order and there was no chaos at all.

They are not going to leave the river beach.

The original plan, they planned to rest here for a while, and then go straight down the river, first rush to Jinghu Road, and then go north to help Tokyo.

It just seems that this plan must have changed.

The Li clan kept looking at Xiao Cheng, but countless thoughts were spinning in their minds instantly.

The Song Dynasty died, and the Zhao family was taken over by others, and the next world will naturally be another battle between dragons and tigers.

I didn’t hear what Wu Ke said, that Cui Ang was the king of Zhao, Liu Yu became the king of Qi, Liu Quanyi became the king of Jin, and of course, there was Gao Yao, the king of Qin who died before he left the army, and was given by Xiao Ding of the Western Army. Killed.

Oh, Xiao Ding, the Western Army!
My God!
I don't want to know, but now I think about it carefully, the strength of all the roads in this world, I am afraid that the one surnamed Xiao is the most powerful now!

The current Xiao Cheng and Xiao Futai can pull out tens of thousands of tigers casually, and as long as he is willing, he can also bring out such a powerful army from Guizhou Road.

It is the army, not the young and old. The difference here is huge.

If you count the Western Army who can go to the northwest while fighting against the imperial court and the Liao people, the strength of the Xiao family has already surpassed other followers.

Thinking of this, the way he looked at Xiao Cheng changed immediately.

In fact, it wasn't just him, even the judges on Kuizhou Road, including Chen Qun and others, looked at Xiao Cheng with some changes at the moment.

All of them came from big families with a long history, and others may not respond quickly, but on top of such things, because of the accumulation of countless years of experience, they are really rich in experience.

As long as you stand in the team, once you succeed, you will be prosperous and rich for several generations.

And it's not ordinary glory and wealth.

They looked at Xiao Cheng's eyes and became eager.

The Xiao family, this is going to start!
No wonder Xiao Cheng is so active in sending troops to serve the king, did he think of this a long time ago!
"There is no emperor, let's set up another one!" Xiao Cheng's mouth, as expected, uttered words that were considered treasonous before: "Isn't this simple?"

"Who can be the emperor? The whole world has to be convinced!" Chen Qun asked tentatively.

Xiao Cheng sat down slowly, picked up the wine glass, took a sip slowly, and suddenly said with a smile: "Xiao An, pour you another glass of wine!"

Zhao An responded lightly and stepped forward.

Chen Qun's eyes fell on the young man in front of him.

He found that Xiao Cheng was also looking at the boy.

Surname Zhao?

Zhao An?

Zhao An walked in front of him, lifted the jug with both hands, Chen Qun suddenly covered the wine glass with his hands, and at the same time turned sideways, looked at Zhao An, and asked cautiously, "Xiao An, where did your ancestor borrow?"

"Ancestor borrows Tokyo!" Zhao An smiled, looking at Chen Qun with clear eyes, "Father Jing Wang Zhao Zhe!"

There was a crackling sound, except for a few people on Guizhou Road, those who came to accompany me on Kuizhou Road, including Chen Qun, jumped up like a cat whose tail had been trampled on. The plates and lamps were swept all over the floor, and there was a constant clanging in the room.

"Xiao Futai, this is no joke!" Chen Qun looked at Xiao Cheng tremblingly.

"Brother Chen is afraid that I will make a fake?" Xiao Cheng smiled and shook his head: "There was chaos in the capital, and King Jing's family was in chaos, but Zhao An, who was two years old at the time, was entrusted by the princess to Wang Zhu to take him out of the capital. The concubine originally wanted Wang Zhu to take Zhao An and flee to my elder brother, but because of the strict interrogation along the way, Wang Zhu had no chance to escape to the north. In the end, she had to go all the way south and found me. here!"

Chen Qun sat down blankly.

"Xiao An, show Xueshi Chen your jade pendant!" Xiao Cheng ordered.

Zhao An pulled something from his neck, held it in both hands and handed it to Chen Qun.

"In Guiyang, there are also Wangfei's suicide note and Zhao An's jade plate." Xiao Cheng said: "Everything can prove Zhao An's true identity."

Chen Qun took a deep breath: "Futai, if this is true, then he, he is probably the only one left in the Zhao Song clan."

Xiao Cheng nodded slightly.

Chen Qun and others left in a hurry.

For them, within a short period of time, they encountered huge shocks twice in a row.

The first one, of course, was that Tokyo was captured by the Liao people. Whether it was the Supreme Emperor or the emperor, they were all captured by the Liao people. In a sense, the Great Song Dynasty had actually perished.

The second one is naturally the appearance of Zhao An.

To be honest, Zhao An is not a son of the clan in the general sense, but a direct bloodline of Zheng Miaohong, the root of the brand.

Although it is said that King Jing Zhao Zhe was defeated, at the moment, it is no longer a big deal.

As long as Zhao An's identity is confirmed, then he will definitely be a banner that can call on the world and make everyone speechless.

Thinking of such a person being hidden by Xiao Cheng for nearly ten years, Chen Qun couldn't help but be overwhelmed with admiration.

Amazing!
No wonder I was over fifty years old before I managed to become a transport envoy,

He is only in his twenties, and he is already far above himself.

Earlier, I was still thinking that the Xiao family would definitely take advantage of this chaotic situation to change their own careers. Of course, if this is the case, the Xiao family and Cui Ang, Liu Quanyi, Liu Yu and others are actually in the same boat. There is not much difference in terms of quality, but it is just that the reputation is better.

But with this Zhao An, it will be completely different.

Zhao An is Xiao Cheng's disciple, judging by his appearance, he is completely obedient to Xiao Cheng's words.

Once Zhao An is established as the emperor, Xiao Cheng may be the first auxiliary government. Coupled with Xiao Cheng's powerful army and Xiao Ding's powerful support in the northwest, it is absolutely impossible for the Xiao family to soar into the sky.

Although there is no name of emperor, but there is also the reality of emperor!

The messenger flew all the way from Kuizhou Road to the hands of Fuchen in various places in the south of the Yangtze River.

It was a letter jointly signed by Xiao Cheng, the appeasement envoy of Guizhou Road, and Chen Qun, the transfer envoy of Kuizhou Road, requesting all officials in the south to gather in Jiangling Mansion on Jinghu Road to discuss the plan of resisting the Liao Dynasty.

In the letter, nothing about Zhao An was mentioned.

The reason why Jiangling Mansion was chosen was because the letter was jointly signed by Xiao Cheng and Chen Qun. If it was chosen on Kuizhou Road, it would inevitably make other people worry about some tricks. Rest assured.

When this letter was sent, Luo Xin, Guan Gou Jiyi, beside Xiao Cheng, had already left Fuling with Jiang Xiong, the commander of the navy, and headed all the way to Jinghu Road.

Jiang Xiong is a native of Jinghu Road, and the Jiang family is the largest family on Jinghu Road.

There are many key points here, Xiao Cheng naturally needs to communicate with Jinghu Road Haosheng first.

Jiang Xiong was naturally the best candidate.

Xiao Cheng did not stay in the post house that Chen Qun had prepared for him, but took Zhao An back to the boat on the pier.

Before Zhao An's identity is made public, it's okay to live in a post house.

But now, Zhao An's identity has been made public.

Xiao Cheng could even guess that after the banquet was over, there were already countless letters spreading from Fuling to various roads in the south of the station.

Therefore, living in one's own army is of course the most secure thing.

In the sanitation of tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of warships, anyone who wants to do something needs to weigh it carefully.

Do not try to harm anyone,
But not defenseless.

On the building boat, Wu Ke was reporting what he saw and heard in the north to Xiao Cheng in detail.

A few months ago, Xiao Cheng expected that there would be great chaos in the north, and that Tokyo might not be safe. Even if Tokyo could be managed, all the surrounding areas would fall.

Therefore, Wu Ke was asked to put some of his own people in as much as possible, whether it was lurking on the spot or turning into bandits, and organized as many available forces as possible so that they could effectively respond to the counterattack from the south in the future.

"The forbidden army in the entire capital city and the capital area has been dispersed." Wu Ke sighed, "Most of them were collected by people like Cui Ang and Qu Zhen. Thanks to the unique conditions, Cui Ang could only be regarded as a bald king of Zhao originally, and only the Huazhou army was at his disposal, but after Tokyo broke the city, his strength grew like a snowball. When I left Tokyo, he Under his command, he has gathered forty to fifty thousand imperial troops from the past."

"The emperor of the Liao Kingdom has a big heart, and he is allowed to gather the army?" Xiao Cheng said: "Isn't he afraid of raising tigers? People like Cui Ang are not half loyal."

"Futai, I guess there is some reason for this, because when I left, I heard that the Emperor of Liao Kingdom had ordered Yelujun to continue marching southward and attack Southwest Beijing Road!" Wu Ke said.

Xiao Cheng immediately understood what Wu Ke meant.

Yelumin, that is, Qin Min and Cui Ang can be said to have a deep blood feud. Let Yelumin attack Southwest Jinglu, but let Cui Ang gather troops in Tokyo, which is a bit interesting.

"Is the emperor of the Liao Kingdom in poor health?"

"I don't know about this!" Wu Ke shook his head: "I just glanced at the emperor of Liao Kingdom from a distance when the emperor and the others were leaving the city to surrender. I didn't see what he looked like! Later, I never Haven't seen him out in public."

Xiao Cheng nodded: "Based on your methods, Cui Ang's subordinates should have mixed in a lot of our people, right?"

Wu Ke grinned: "Naturally. A total of more than a hundred people got in, the tallest one was a battalion general, and the others were also officers, big and small."

"It's best to maintain these relationships, and don't break the line!" Xiao Cheng said: "But don't use them lightly. Select some strong ones from them, and find a way to help them climb up."

"Understood!" Wu Ke nodded.
