Regarding the dispatch of troops to the Great Song Dynasty, the Han Department did not make a big fanfare, on the contrary, everything just came secretly. The soldiers and horses of Jinmen and Tanggu were quietly and in batches transported to Dengzhou, and Liu Qi also went on the road alone when he set off from Jinmen.

Wan Yanhu and Yang Yingqi both came to see each other, this was an undisclosed send-off, the scene was not grand, only Wan Yanhu, Yang Yingqi and a few people with them, but Liu Qi felt warm. Wan Yanhu felt a little sorry for Liu Qi because of the repeated marriages between Cao and Liu, and out of guilt, he was a little better to Liu Qi after the marriage was negotiated. Liu Qi is an open-minded person, and he doesn't care about what has passed. At this time, all he was thinking about was how to support Bianliang!

He went ashore at Qingyang Port in early December, and seven days later all the troops and horses were assembled, and they rested and trained near Banqiao Village to convey their operational ideas.

After everything was ready, Liu Qi led his troops westward, and it was already mid-December. Not only has the Bianliang been broken, but Zhao Huan has even handed over the table. The Song court, which had already surrendered, was forced by the Jin people to send envoys to Hedong, Hebei Province to summon the Lianghe guards, saying that the imperial court had cut the two rivers and asked them to give up defending the city and surrender to the Jin.

Liu Qi was indignant when he heard the news, and at this time, Zhao Gou was still in the Daimyo's Mansion, and he had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, so he brought troops to the meeting.

When Zhao Gou heard that Liu Qi had brought reinforcements from the Han Army, he was very happy at first, and ordered the army to be rewarded, and then met with Liu Qi, so that he could express his condolences. Liu Qi persuaded Zhao Gou to hurry up and enter the king of Jingqin, and at this moment Zong Ze was still by Zhao Gou's side, and he also persuaded Zhao Gou to enter the army.

Zhao Gou really didn't want to go to Bianliang in his heart, so when he saw Liu Qi coming, he persuaded himself to enter the king of Beijing, and he was displeased. At this time, Zhao Huan's envoy arrived with a wax pill edict, and the inner cloud was in the clouds: "The Jin people can't go down to the city, and the party will negotiate reconciliation, but the troops will not move." ”

Zhao Gou was overjoyed when he got Zhao Huan's letter, this is obviously an excuse for the confused brother to help him not to go to Beijing to take risks! However, Zong Ze and Liu Qi over there didn't know what to do, and they even doubted the authenticity of the messenger and the wax pill letter, thinking that it was a trick of the Jin people.

Zong Ze said: "The Jin people are cunning, and they are clearly trying to delay the division of King Qin. The hope of the monarch is to come to the rescue, how hungry and thirsty! The marshal should urgently lead the army straight to Bianliang to relieve the siege of the capital! ”

Liu Qi also said: "Not bad! Although the Jin army was full of soldiers and horses on both sides, our army also had 60,000 or 70,000 people. And when the guards of the Quartet heard that the marshal had entered the river, they would definitely gather. Even if the Jin people have captured Bianliang, they are bound to return in vain! ”

Wang Boyan and others insisted that the four walls of the Beijing Division had fallen, and if they rashly marched at this moment, they would not only trap King Kang in danger, but also might prompt the Jin people to be unfavorable to the two saints (Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan).

The two sides quarreled, and in the end, Wang Boyan and others, who were secretly supported by Zhao Gou, prevailed. Zong Ze insisted on entering the king of Jingqin, he was the deputy marshal, and he was the first to support Zhao Gou's great hero, Zhao Gou was not good at his face, so he gave him 3,000 men and ordered him to be the striker.

Liu Qi also invited Zongze to go to Beijing, and as soon as he said this, the hardliners among the generals also asked for help, and Zhao Gou thought that if he let these people go to Bianliang, he would become a loner in the Daimyo's Mansion again! Therefore, it was resolutely not allowed, and only ordered the generals to be stationed in the prefectures and counties around the Daimyo's Mansion to wait for changes.

At this time, someone slandered Wang Boyan, saying that Liu Qi not only received the title of Han Ministry, but also became the godbrother of the Han Hu Princess, so Han Bu gave him the soldiers and horses with confidence. Wang Boyan was shocked, and hurriedly came to make a small report to Zhao Gou, Zhao Gou felt like it after listening to it, and no longer trusted Liu Qi, but at this moment he didn't dare to offend the Han Department too much, but just ordered him to settle in Linzi and eat in Qingzhou, which was regarded as shelving him.

Liu Qi was impeached by Wang Boyan for overstepping his post after several successive unsuccessful petitions, and in desperation, he had no choice but to lead his troops to the east and stationed near Linzi as the leader of the rebel army. Qingzhou is located on the shore of the Bohai Sea, Jishui and Zishui all enter the sea from here, the location is relatively remote, no matter what Liu Qi is stationed here, it will not affect the battle situation of the entire Central Plains. However, when Yang Yingqi heard that Liu Qi had arrived in Linzi, he sent people to send food, horses, and weapons, and added 5,000 new soldiers to him. After Liu Qi got this batch of money, food, soldiers and horses, he trained along the Zishui River, while training the troops, he hoped that Zhao Gou would enter the army as soon as possible, but the hope was always empty, and he even thought in private: "The Han Department contributed money and people, and the general was under house arrest and risked sending troops to rescue." Our own people are good, they think about self-protection every day, and they don't even care about their father and brother! ”

At this time, Zhao Gou's soldiers and horses gradually increased, and the money and grain began to be insufficient, but fortunately, Wang Shizhong and Li Yinggu each sent 10,000 loads of grain and grass to the south and the north, which greatly alleviated Zhao Gou's military crisis, especially Wang Shizhong was even more knowledgeable, not only sent military food, but also sent two carts of silk, utensils, glass, spices and other luxury goods.

Zhao Gou Dayue, he grew up in the emperor's house, after leaving the capital, although the officials received from all over the country also tried to offer beautiful clothes and food, but most of Hebei is not very developed economically, and at this time it was in the midst of the war, so the things offered are not as good as the daily use of the Bianliang scholars' homes, and the emperor's house is not comparable! The so-called once the sea was difficult to water, and the local rice polishing clothes were like old clothes in Zhao Gou's eyes, so at this time, Wang Shizhong secretly offered this batch of good things to Zhao Gou, how could he not like it? At the moment, the two were greatly commended, at this time he was only the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses, and he did not have the power to directly promote the officials of the two, but naturally his attendant eunuch Lan Qi and others contacted Wang Shizhong and Li Yinggu, suggesting that King Kang would be rewarded in the future.

The situation in Bianliang is getting worse day by day, but Zhao Gou's position is becoming more and more stable day by day. He was first in the Daimyo-ku, then to Dongpyeong, and soon to Jeju. When Zhao Gou arrived in Jeju, there were nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses: among them, 9,500 people in Jeju were led by Yang Weizhong and were Zhao Go's personal guards; 19,000 soldiers and horses in Kaide Prefecture, 7,000 troops in Puzhou, and garrisons in Weinan and Weicheng, under the command of Deputy Marshal Zong Ze; 19,000 people in Xingren Mansion, 8,000 people in Guangji Army, 6,000 people in Shanzhou, 3,000 people in Berlin Town, etc., were commanded by Huang Qianshan, a soldier and horse; 10,000 Han reinforcements from Qingzhou, led by Liu Qi; In addition, there are Kong Yanwei, Chang Jin, Ding Shun and other 15,000 people who came to return to the righteous army, and so on. In addition to these soldiers and horses who directly listened to Zhao Gou's mobilization, there were also Zhao Ye of Hebei, Fan Ne of Henan, Cao Guangbi of Hedong, Zhao Zisong of Chen Liu, Wang Shizhong of Dengzhou, Li Yinggu of Cangzhou and others, and even the righteous army of Lianghe who spontaneously resisted Jin, all of them were ordered by the generalissimo of Zhao Gou, surrounded Luoyang in Bianliang, and lined up in the Central Plains and Hebei, just waiting for Zhao Gou's order to send troops.

However, if Zhao Gou's main force did not advance, other armies would not dare to enter King Qin, or like Fan Ne and his ilk, they would hesitate and not know how to advance or retreat, or they would fight alone like Cao Guangbi's generation. Until Zong Wang and Zong Han plundered the two emperors of the Great Song Dynasty to move north, Zong Ze's lone army did not dare to advance lightly, Cao Guangbi intercepted only gold and silver, but Zhao Gou instead moved the car more and more to the southeast, and finally came to the Nanjing Yingtianfu of the Great Song Dynasty, that is, near Shangqiu in later generations.

Regarding Zhao Gou's shrinkage, Chen Zhenghui and Yang Yingqi have their own opinions, Chen Zhenghui thinks that Zhao Gou's behavior is very hateful, and he simply disregards the lives of his father and brother. Yang Yingqi thinks that there is a rational element in his consideration: "He is rushing to Bianliang now, and the chance of rescuing his father and brother may not be very good, but the chance of putting his life on the line is not small." ”

Chen Zhenghui glanced at his boss and said, "Seventh General, if the Great General and Emperor Song change places, and you and King Kang change places, will you be like him?" ”

"No, it won't." Yang Yingqi said: "My eldest brother and I will not let ourselves fall into such an embarrassing situation." So the kind of thing you're talking about isn't going to happen. ”

Chen Zhenghui said: "Not necessarily, now that the general is also in the hands of the Jin people, the situation may not be better than that of Emperor Song!" ”

Yang Yingqi's heart was shocked, and he sighed: "You're right, what I just said is that I look down on others too much." If I really changed places with them, maybe I couldn't have done better. ”

Chen Zhenghui also knew that the sentence just now touched Yang Yingqi's sore spot, so he didn't dare to dwell on it any longer, changed the topic, and said: "Judging from the current situation, Seventh General, what do you think Zonghan Zongwang will do next?" ”

Yang Yingqi said: "Needless to say, it must be to uproot the Zhao family." ”

Chen Zhenghui said: "If they want to uproot the Zhao clan, then we must try to protect the Zhao clan as much as possible to call on the world to resist the Jin soldiers." ”

"Not bad!" Yang Yingqi said: "If the second emperor of the Song Dynasty can't escape, then Zhao Gou has a great chance of inheriting the unification, and at that time, ......"

Chen Zhenghui said: "How was it then? ”

"Continue to nurture him." Yang Yingqi said: "If necessary, send troops to protect him!" As long as the Zhao family still exists and the Central Plains is undecided, Zonghan Zongwang will not be able to worry about the future, and he will not dare to persecute the eldest brother too much! ”

Chen Zhenghui said: "But in case Zhao Gou can really revive the Great Song Dynasty......"

"Needless to say!" Yang Yingqi said: "If the momentum of the Great Song Dynasty is too strong, then we have to find a way to suppress it in turn." ”

Chen Zhenghui said: "But we want to officially expand to the Central Plains, and we always have to worry about the general, so it is not a way to drag it out like this!" ”

"yes." Yang Yingqi said: "The matter of the eldest brother really can't be delayed any longer, the more we drag it out, the more disadvantageous it will be." ”

At this moment, news came from the Central Plains: King Kang, the generalissimo of the Great Song Dynasty, was appointed emperor in Nanjing Yingtianfu and changed to Yuan Jianyan.

Yang Yingqi smiled when he heard the news: "His movements are not slow. He sent an envoy to congratulate him in the name of Wanyanhu, which was regarded as a recognition of this regime.

It was the year of Huayuan 1678, the fifth year of Jintianhui, and the Jingkang era that had existed for more than a year has been abolished since then.
