Water Margin farming to become powerful

Time finally entered the second year of Jingkang.

At first, the Supervisory Committee only patrolled around Bianliang and did not make any attempt to attack.

However, the situation in the Song Dynasty did not move in any better direction because of the Jurchens' civil strife and the goodwill of the Supervisory Committee.

In April of the second year of Jingkang's reign, Zhao Ji fell ill.

It's not that he is pretending, but he is really sick and can only breathe.

Zhao Ji got sick because of fear.

When the Jurchens and the Supervisory Committee launched fierce battles one after another on the land north of the Yellow River in the Song Dynasty, the direct impact was that Zhao Ji's ability to rule the Song Dynasty declined sharply.

Zhao Ji began to really face a regime crisis.At first, Zhao Ji's first reaction was to run away. He wanted to lead his troops out of Bianliang again and leave the cold mess to Prince Zhao Huan to deal with.

After the last time Zhao Ji escaped from Bianliang and then returned, Zhao Huan already understood the character of his royal father. Once Zhao Ji left Bianliang, he would definitely be isolated and helpless.

Therefore, Zhao Huan began to make friends with military attachés in July of the first year of Jingkang. Zhao Ji could leave, but he could only stay in Bianliang. In order to survive, he must at least have the ability to protect himself.

But at the end of the year, Zhao Ji suddenly discovered that his prince Zhao Huan had made friends with a large number of military generals, and a group of military generals had formed to support the prince. Zhao Ji was naturally very nervous.

He wanted to clean it up, but then he realized it was already difficult to do it.

A large number of troops gathered in Bianliang, which unknowingly led to a situation that had been prevented since the founding of the Song Dynasty - the military generals became bigger.

Each of these military leaders has their own private soldiers, and now they are gathering together again to fight for power, and it is expected that the Supervisory Committee will come.

In his previous life, Zhao Gou spent a lot of time and lost countless minds in order to stabilize the generals who escorted him south. At this time, Zhao Ji also faced the same problem. He suddenly discovered that in the complicated situation, the positions of these people were basically unknown. It's not something he can change at will.

But at this time, the swords had been raised and the generals gathered around Zhao Huan were also alert and united.

Seeing that their lives were at the mercy of Zhao Ji, these generals also wanted to survive.

Sun Xin has been monitoring the situation in Bianliang, how could he not get involved at this time?
Overnight, news spread in Bianliang City that Zhao Huan was about to usurp the throne and become emperor.

Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan were both extremely nervous.

Although they could imagine that the Supervisory Committee must be causing trouble, once this conflict was provoked, neither of them could put out the fire by themselves.

It is no longer a question of whether Zhao Ji wants to do it or not, but the forces supporting Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan are at war with each other, and it is difficult for Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan to pull them back even if they want to.

At the beginning of the second year of Jingkang, Zhao Ji first appeared closely with Zhao Huan at the court meeting during the New Year Festival and spoke to everyone, thus stabilizing Zhao Huan's status.

Just when everyone thought that Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan had finally reached a reconciliation and were relieved, Zhao Ji suddenly promoted Zhao Gou, who had just returned from the Supervisory Committee, to Marshal of Bianliang.

This is a newly established official position in charge of all city defenses in Bianliang and Zhao Ji's imperial army.

When the Jurchens invaded the south, Zhao Gou was sent as an envoy to the Jurchens' camp to negotiate with Wanyan Zongwang. After Sun Xin defeated Wanyan Zongwang, Zhao Gou escaped from the Jurchens' camp. This guy was quite courageous and found himself There was no way to escape directly back to Bianliang, where he led the rebel army as the sixth prince.

It was not until June that Sun Xin defeated the rebel forces under Zhao Gou, and he was shocked to find that Zhao Gou actually came out as the leader of the rebel army to negotiate with the Supervisory Committee.Sun Xin was very interested in this historical celebrity and met him in person. Zhao Gou asked Sun Xin to send him back to Bianliang. Sun Xin thought for a while and agreed to send such a troublemaker back. There was no need to end up with him. Secondly, he hoped that Zhao Gou would cause trouble again in the Song Dynasty.

But when Zhao Ji mentioned Zhao Gou's name, Sun Xin was also quite surprised. Zhao Gou actually came to power in this way in this time and space.

There was even more panic in Bianliang.

It turns out that Zhao Ji's show with Zhao Huan's side during the court meeting was just to appease Zhao Huan's men. He had long wanted to raise the butcher's knife.

And Zhao Gou somehow managed to completely gain his father's trust.

So five days later, Zhao Ji began to purge all the military attachés who had taken refuge with Zhao Huan.

Although Zhao Huan has some power, it is only a small part compared to the officers under Zhao Ji. After the split, how can Zhao Huan be Zhao Ji's opponent?
The city of Bianliang was filled with heads of people being killed.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Huan was driven out of the position of prince because of his misconduct, and Zhao Ji made Zhao Gou the prince.

The Supervisory Committee enjoyed watching this scene. When the situation in Da Song Dynasty stabilized and the Supervisory Committee decided to take action, they did not expect that this scene would be repeated.

In February of the second year of Jingkang, Zhao Huan, who was supposed to be under house arrest, somehow escaped from the palace.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Huan miraculously escaped outside the city, and then organized an army outside Bianliang City to attack the Qing army, and even prepared to join forces with the Supervisory Committee.

When Sun Xin heard the news, he was dumbfounded. The Supervisory Committee had not yet responded. Zhao Ji had already ordered the generals to lead troops to conquer Zhao Huan.

The two sides actually started fighting outside Bianliang City.

Moreover, Zhao Huan's combat effectiveness is actually quite strong, and he has won the support of a large number of people and Bianliang's powerful people.

The people of Bianliang generally felt that Zhao Ji was not worthy of being an emperor, and wanted to replace him as emperor.

What's more important is that Zhao Ji had a tough attitude towards the Supervisory Committee in the past. Zhao Huan's people claimed to the people that as long as Zhao Ji was the emperor, the Supervisory Committee would not be able to negotiate peace with Zhao Ji, but Bianliang could regain peace if Zhao Huan became the emperor.

Such simple words actually won the support of many people in Bianliang City.

Bianliang, with a population of one million, was preparing to start a civil war. At this time, the Supervisory Committee had penetrated into the east and west sides of Bianliang City and was able to control almost the entire Yellow River.

Before the war ended, there were rumors in Bianliang City that Zhao Gou wanted to seize Zhao Ji's position and become independent.

Rumors were flying all over the sky, and the panicked people of Bianliang did not know which ones were true and which ones were false. Only the Supervisory Committee outside the city could see clearly that Zhao Gou's statement that he wanted to seize Zhao Ji's position and stand on his own was not a lie, because A letter asking for help from Zhao Gou was already placed on Sun Xin's desk.

This guy actually wanted to communicate with Sun Xin secretly.

Zhao Gou stated in the letter that he knew that the reason why Sun Xin did not attack Bianliang in a large scale was to avoid casualties among the people. He could promise to give Bianliang City to Sun Xin, and the request was that Sun Xin's Supervisory Committee would send troops to help him win the throne.

When Sun Xin saw Zhao Gou's letter, he sympathized with Zhao Ji in his heart. None of the children he raised could do anything.

Sun Xin naturally stood still. He could take Bianliang City at any time. The Song Dynasty had no ability to mount a strong resistance. Even in Bianliang City, the power of the Supervisory Committee was slowly growing. In this case, he would not follow. Do it at someone else's pace. (End of chapter)
