Guide to traveling through the Northern Song Dynasty

Zhu Ming did not comment, but raised his hand and said: "Get up and speak. Don't kneel anymore. After all, you are also a prince of the country. You must not lose the dignity of the Song Dynasty."

"Ashamed!" Zhao Gou stood up and bowed.

Ju Ming gave him a seat again and asked, "I heard that you can shoot a five-stone bow?"

Zhao Gou looked at his thin arms, secretly cursed the guy who was bragging for him, and quickly replied: "I can only open a bow with one stone, but I can't open a bow with five stones."

"A one-stone bow is not bad. It can serve as an archer among the people." Ju Ming really wanted to kill this guy, but he couldn't find a reason.

At this moment, Zhao Gou was just an unpopular concubine prince. If you deliberately try to do things differently, you will appear to be a lunatic.

Zhao Gou said with a smile: "The little king is just playing for fun. Marshal Langjun is the great hero in the world."

Ju Ming asked: "If you were me, would you still be willing to withdraw your troops if the city of Kaifeng was about to be destroyed?"

Zhao Gou was speechless.

"You don't need to go back to the city. Otherwise, you will have to run for your life when you go back. Just stay here and see how to break the city." Ju Ming waved him away.

Zhao Gou hesitated to speak, and left uneasily, and was taken to rest by two sergeants.

Only Li Bangyan was left in the tent, and he proudly claimed the credit: "Marshal Langjun, don't worry, I have contacted all civil and military officials. As soon as the rebel army starts to attack the city, the officials and people in the city will be happy to welcome the marshal into the city. When the time comes, force Zhao Huan to surrender." Bit!"

"I want the world for myself, who do I need to take the Zen position?" Ju Ming sneered.

Li Bangyan was shocked when he heard this, and quickly said: "The transmission of destiny must be based on etiquette. Although the world can be chosen by oneself, it is not as logical as the Zen position, and it can also make the descendants of future generations more stable."

Ju Ming said: "If the descendants of future generations are unworthy and make the world angry and resentful, then the world should be filled with virtuous people."

Li Bangyan was left speechless and could only smile: "The marshal has a broad mind, and a small minister can't be as good as what is expected."

After chatting for a few more words, Li Bangyan also left, and Bai Sheng brought Deng Chun in.

Deng Chunxun reported: "In the evening, a group of Jin soldiers crossed the river and entered the city. The Jin soldiers did not cross the river in large numbers."

"It seems that the Jin soldiers will not be able to cross the river. Let's attack the city tomorrow." Zhu Ming felt a little regretful.

He dispersed all the light cavalry on the south bank of the Yellow River for reconnaissance. If the Jin soldiers dared to cross the river to rescue Tokyo, Ju Ming would lead the troops as quickly as possible to attack halfway across the river.

Unfortunately, the golden man was not fooled.

In other words, Wanyan Zongwang never thought about rescuing Tokyo. Everything before was just an opportunity to blackmail.

…

But he said that Zhao Huan waited until midnight, but Zhao Gou and Li Bangyan did not come back.

He finally became anxious and quickly summoned Geng Nanzhong and Bai Shizhong.

Bai Shizhong quickly came to see him, but Geng Nanzhong was not at home, so he could only bring his son Geng Yanxi.

"Where has your father gone?" Zhao Huan asked.

Geng Yanxi said confusedly: "Didn't my father go to the palace by imperial edict in the afternoon?"

"I haven't summoned him before. He must have run away again!" Zhao Huan was so angry that he slapped the chair.

At the beginning of Tokyo's siege, Geng Nanzhong had already run once and found that the situation had turned into a three-party confrontation and returned.

Moreover, he claimed that he was going to Shangqiu to contact the grain and army, and was rewarded by Zhao Huan for this.

Zhao Huan can only and must reward him, because this is his only confidant, and he must help Geng Nanzhong cover up the stain in every possible way!

At this moment, Geng Yanxi was stunned on the spot.

What the hell is this?

The whole family is in Tokyo, what's the point of running alone? At least bring your family with you!

Before the rebels attacked the city, one of the prime ministers had already fled.

Bai Shizhong stood beside him, feeling both regretful and admirable.

I regretted that I didn't escape in advance, and admired Geng Nanzhong's superb escape skills for running away without anyone noticing. You know, every city gate is guarded by soldiers, and there are often bandits patrolling back and forth outside the city.

This guy can actually run away?

In fact, it was very simple. Geng Nanzhong dressed up as an imperial emissary, carried a waist badge, forged an imperial edict, and swaggered out of the city in the evening.

There was still a large residential area outside the city that had not been demolished. He hid in a broken house and waited until dark before swimming across the moat, being careful to avoid the rebel cavalry patrols.

Geng Nanzhong didn't know why he wanted to escape, let alone where he should escape. He just felt that he couldn't stay in the city.

The dry food he brought with him could last for a few days, but he no longer cared about his wife, concubines, children and grandchildren.

This is really not a random smear. Geng Nanzhong abandoned his family and ran away at the beginning of Jingkang. At the end of Jingkang, Geng Nanzhong resigned from office and wanted to flee. Zhao Huan threw him to negotiate with Wanyan Zongwang, and fled on the way to the mission.

He kept jumping back and forth, but he actually participated in supporting Zhao Gou!

Such a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death is Zhao Huan's most trusted minister.

At this moment, Geng Nanzhong put the dry food on a floating board and swam across the moat. He didn't care that he was soaked all over, panting and climbed onto the shore, crouching forward carefully, running along the Guangji River as much as possible.

Because there are many private houses on both sides of the Guangji River, which can block the sight of the rebels, so those who are doing nothing will not be seen.

Running all the way until dawn, I don't know where I fled to. Geng Nanzhong was tired and hungry, so he hid in a remote place and started eating dry food.

After filling his stomach, Geng Nanzhong looked at the wilderness, wondering where he should go.

Because he was originally from Kaifeng, he himself was from Tokyo. His family and property were all in the capital, and he had nowhere to go if he left there.

But Geng Nanzhong had to escape. Others could surrender to the red thieves, but he absolutely could not.

In the past few months, he has participated in all kinds of political battles and offended many factions.

Especially Li Bangyan!

When Zhao Huan was still the prince, Geng Nanzhong secretly took refuge with Li Bangyan. When Zhao Huan first came to the throne, he was also borrowing Li Bangyan's power, and let Li Bangyan take the lead when encountering problems.

When Geng Nanzhong gradually became full-fledged, he immediately attacked Li Bangyan.

If he stayed in Tokyo and surrendered, Li Bangyan would kill him even if Zhu Thief was willing to forgive him.

Geng Nanzhong looked to the southeast. He must not go there. The group of people under the Supreme Emperor could not urinate in the same pot as him.

Geng Nanzhong turned around and looked in the direction of the Yellow River. For now, he had no choice but to invest in gold.

…

Five o'clock in the morning.

Zhao Huan summoned Wang Jun, the Jin envoy, and asked, "When can we leave?"

Wang Jun said: "The earlier the better."

"Then leave now!" Zhao Huan finally made up his mind.

If Li Bangyan and Zhao Gou went to the bandit camp and did not come back, the negotiation must have failed.

Zhao Huan felt that he would die if he dedicated his country to the Zen throne, so he went to be a puppet for the Jin people. As long as the Zhu thieves had strong soldiers and horses, the Jin people would definitely rely on him.

At that time, we will slowly plan for it, appoint talented people, organize and train the army, gradually get rid of the control of the Jin people, and finally conquer the south to wipe out the Zhu thieves!

Action started quickly in the palace, and before dawn, all kinds of supplies were packed.

In addition to Zhao Huan's queen and concubines, there were also some concubines of Song Huizong, as well as many eunuchs, maids and guards.

Leaving aside the guards, there were more than 600 people accompanying him, all of whom were carefully selected by Zhao Huan.

In addition, there are hundreds of carts of various goods.

Wang Jun was speechless: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, you are abandoning the city to escape this time, not going for an outing outside Tokyo. All irrelevant personnel must be abandoned. In addition to the guards, you can take a maximum of ten people with you, and a maximum of three of your belongings. car."

Zhao Huan gritted his teeth and took Queen Zhu Lian and Concubine Shen Zhu Xuan (the Queen's cousin) with him, while abandoning all the other concubines.

His underage brothers and sisters, who were still living in the palace at this time, were all given up by Zhao Huan.

However, the uncle Zhu Xiaosun leaked the news and not only asked his family to gather and flee, but also brought his uncle and brother's family with him.

Wang Jun felt a headache when he saw it: "The Red Thief's Rangers patrol the south bank of the Yellow River every day. How can so many people rush through?"

While he was talking, some guards began to run away.

These guards also had families, and the emperor obviously did not want to bring too many entourages. Then why don't they go as far as to stay in Tokyo with their families and wait to join Marshal Zhu?

"Quickly leave, I don't want the property!"

Wang Jun's expression changed drastically when he discovered that the guards had escaped.

Sure enough, after the guards left the palace, they immediately shouted loudly along the street: "The emperor is running away, the emperor is running away!"

Everyone got on their horses urgently. The queen hugged the prince and got into the carriage with Concubine Shen.

Zhao Huan has not allowed Jin soldiers to enter the city, but there are more than 20 Jin cavalry in the envoy.

These Jin cavalry escorted Zhao Huan to escape.

As for the palace guards, they dispersed in a hurry and went home to reunite. Only Zhu Xiaosun, the polished commander, was left.

Everyone left the imperial city and went straight into Neiyanfu Palace, then exited from the west palace gate and headed straight to Tianbo Gate in the inner city.

They did not dare to go to the east side of Yanfu Palace because it was sandwiched between Genyue, Jinghuayuan and Waiyanfu Palace and was full of Shandong soldiers and Shaanxi soldiers. If he is not careful, Song Jiang can lead his troops to intercept the emperor.

Crossing the Guangji River, we soon arrived at Weizhou Gate, where Fan Qiong's Tokyo soldiers were stationed.

Zhu Xiaosun rode forward on horseback, showed his waist card and said: "Open the city gate quickly, I am General Youjin Wuwei, commander of Sima Bujun, the bodyguard's personal army, Zhu Xiaosun!"

The city guards subconsciously opened the city gate, and at the same time couldn't help but look at the chariots and horses.

The city gate opened quickly, and the Jin cavalry rushed out. Zhao Huan, who had changed into ordinary casual clothes, also followed on horseback.

The bridge of the moat has been demolished, and there are still many ships docked at Yongshun Water Gate next to Weizhou Gate, but Zhu Xiaosun ordered his soldiers to row them out.

Just when Zhao Huan was leading his horse into the boat and was about to cross the moat, someone suddenly led the cavalry to chase him.

But it was Fan Qiong who was in charge of the Tokyo city defense. He led the imperial cavalry in pursuit and approached the city gate and shouted: "Stop them, they are fools who are trying to escape. If you capture them and present them to Marshal Zhu, you will achieve great merit!"

The general who defended the city single-handedly promoted by Zhao Huan actually shouted that he wanted to arrest Hun Jun.

"This evil villain!"

Zhao Huan was so angry when he heard the shouting that he gave up his horse. He quickly jumped on the boat, turned around and shouted to the Queen and Concubine Shen: "Get on the boat quickly!"

Fan Qiong led the cavalry out of Weizhou Gate, only to see that Zhao Huan, the queen, Concubine Shen, and Zhu Xiaosun had already boarded the ship.

Zhu Xiaosun's family escaped successfully, but his brother and uncle (the father of Concubine Shen) were all detained by Fan Qiong who was chasing them before they could board the ship.

After finally crossing the moat, I heard the sound of the horn again.

The rangers patrolling between the Yellow River and Kaifeng City have discovered that Zhao Huan and others are blowing trumpets and gathering troops to intercept.
