Obviously, the army led by Zhao Ji was "lost" outside the city of Kaifeng Mansion!

They were supposed to go all the way north to the Sanshan pontoon bridge in the territory of Huazhou...... At least that's what the people of Kaifeng Mansion think!

But I don't know what's going on, Zhao Ji's army left Kaifeng Mansion and marched along the Wuzhang River all the way to the northeast direction. At this time, they all slipped into the territory of Dongming County, southeast of Huazhou....... If you go further in this direction, you will almost arrive at Yangshanbo!

Of course, Liangshan is not the destination of Zhao Ji's trip, is he a good official to go to Liangshan? His real destination was Yingtianfu in Nanjing, south of Xingren Mansion.

Just the day before Zhao Ji left Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo, Cai You, Li Bangyan, Li Yan, Liang Shicheng and others had already escorted Zhao Ji's concubine, imperial concubine and minor prince to Nanjing Yingtianfu on an official ship. However, those official ships took the Bianhe River, not the Wuzhang River.

The Bianhe River is located in the south of Wuzhang and is a canal leading to the southeast. The Wuzhang River is a canal leading to Jishui, which is a waterway connecting Jingdong East Road and Kaifeng Mansion.

Zhao Ji marched along the Wuzhang River, of course, to hide people's eyes...... Most of the generals he brought out from Kaifeng Mansion were from Kaifeng, and only the 2,000 Shengjie troops were from the Western Army, and their families were not in Kaifeng Mansion. The rest of the more than 10,000 people are all generations of old Kaifeng. If they knew that Zhao Ji was going to abandon Kaifeng Mansion and run away, they would mutiny!

So Zhao Ji had to hide it from his subordinates and not let them know the purpose of this trip...... But in this way, he could not go along the Bianhe River, he could only go along the Wuzhang River, and he had to go to the north bank.

But it is still a bit risky to walk on the north bank of the Wuzhang River, after all, there is a flat river between the north bank of the Wuzhang River and the battlefield of Sanshan Bridge, and there is no obstacle. If a team of gold thieves sneaks over, won't he have to fight with his back?

But where could Tong Guan and Gao Yu let him take such a risk? The two of them had already arranged a sailboat for Zhao Ji, and followed Zhao Ji's army slowly, and in case of danger, Zhao Ji would be able to cross the river immediately.

After crossing the Wuzhang River, and then running all the way to the southeast, you can reach Yingtianfu......

In addition, Gao Yu also sent Tang Ma Chuanqi to keep in touch with Li Gang on the battlefield of Wannian Dam, and every night there would be a battle report of the day to Zhao Ji. If he finds that the signs are wrong, Zhao Ji will immediately cross the river and run away.

In short, it is foolproof!

And the battle report sent last night showed that the Song army on the battlefield of Wannian Xindi fought well, although it still did not win, but it was still maintaining the offensive, which was really not easy.

And this afternoon, just when Zhao Ji had just settled down in Zhenshuiguan by the Wuzhang River, the Privy Council of Kaifeng Mansion transferred a report from the Marshal of Hebei Soldiers and Horses, informing the news that the Niangziguan Victory, the Pingding Army, the Taiyuan Victory and the Golden Thief West Route Army had been defeated from Hedong!

Although there is a lot of water in this news, it must not be fake when Taiyuan breaks the siege...... Zhao Kai went to Taiyuan Mansion, and also asked for control of Hedong soldiers and horses in the song.

Of course, Zhao Kai's request Zhao Ji will not agree, one Hebei marshal is not enough? Add another Hedong, and in two days it should be Shaanxi, is this still like words?

However, not allowing Zhao Kai to invite did not affect Zhao Ji's good mood...... Look at this situation, the war with the gold thief is almost the same. When he arrives at Yingtianfu, Da Song will be able to make peace with Dajin.

Don't look at this Ying Tianfu is only two or three hundred miles away from Kaifeng Mansion, but the threat of the Yellow River water to Tianfu is much smaller than that of Kaifeng Mansion. If the 10,000-year-old embankment bursts, Kaifeng Mansion will be a catastrophe! But when the Yellow River flowed for three or four hundred miles and flooded to Yingtianfu, the threat was much smaller. Moreover, it is impossible for the gold thief to dig a river three or four hundred miles away, because if the flood flows too far, the variables will be great, and who knows where it will be flooded?

Therefore, if the capital of the Great Song Dynasty was unwilling to move to Luoyang, which had inconvenient transportation, and moved to Yingtianfu (Shangqiu), which was more convenient than Kaifeng, the danger of the Yellow River could also be avoided.

Thinking that he could be an official in the safe Yingtianfu in the future, Zhao Ji's mood was called an expectation! At the same time, because the leader is outside, he is still a little afraid. I felt how uncomfortable it was, so I ordered the accompanying chamberlain to take out the wine he carried and held a "drinking party" with Tong Guan, Gao Yu and others in the Zhenshui Temple, and it was good to drink two glasses more.

Drinking and drinking, it's a little high.

Zhao Ji, who had changed into a Taoist robe, stood up in a daze, and staggered towards the gate of the Taoist temple hall where he was.

It was dark now, but the hall was brightly lit inside and out. So Zhao Ji can enjoy the rain scene at night here. He only saw the rain falling on the dripping eaves in front of him, forming a water curtain, which was a bit of the artistic conception of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Thinking of Jiangnan, and seeing the armor of the various classes in front of the hall standing under the eaves of the corridor, Zhao Ji somehow remembered Zhou Yu, Chibi, and Su Dongpo's "Nian Nujiao. Chibi Nostalgia".

Then he couldn't help but chant: "The great river goes east, the waves are exhausted, and the characters of the ages are merry." To the west of the base, humanity is, the Three Kingdoms Zhou Lang Chibi ......"

When he read this, he suddenly stopped, and he didn't know if he had forgotten the words?

Tong Guan, Gao Yu, and several princes (all of whom are Zhao Ji's sons) on the side just wanted to remind, but Zhao Ji suddenly asked: "I am now a general, how about Jiangdong Zhoulang?" ”

You have escaped with your own driver, are you embarrassed to compare yourself to Zhou Yu? How thick-skinned you are!

However, Tong Guan, Gao Yu, and Zhao Ji's sons, no one dares to say that Zhao Ji is inferior to Zhou Yu!

Just when a few people began to dig out their minds to tout the "Kaifeng Zhao Lang" who fled from the royal driver, they heard a faint commotion outside. If you listen closely, there seems to be a muffled thunderous roar.

The people in the hall were nervous, this sound didn't sound right! It can't be a gold thief attacking at night, right?

Tong Guan also leaned forward and said in a low voice: "Official, the old minister will let people call the official ship, you and a few kings should get on the boat first." ”

Zhao Ji really drank a little high...... And the wine is intimidating! At this time, Zhao Ji had already found a little bit of the meaning of Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, and said to Tong Guan who came up: "What are you doing on the boat?" Is it possible for a gold thief or a water army? ”

Tong Guan is also a little confused, his brain is turning slowly, he wants to say that the gold thief has a naval army, and Zhao Ji will get on the boat as soon as possible. But he told Zhao Ji the truth, "Official, the gold thief doesn't have a navy before we get on the boat...... In case the golden thief really called, the official family would immediately be able to cross the Wuzhang River and flee to Yingtianfu. ”

"What nonsense?" Zhao Ji, the coward, has now regarded himself as "Saigong Jin", of course he is not afraid of any gold thief, "Someone is coming!" Put on armor and lead the horse for me, and I want the overseer to beg for the thief! ”

Overseers against thieves? Crazy about drinking, right?

The people around dared to put on armor and lead horses for Zhao Ji, but they all stood there and didn't move. At this moment, the sound outside suddenly became much quieter, and even the sound of the ticking rain became softer and softer, and it was almost inaudible.

It seems that there is no gold thief coming, and everyone is relieved. At this time, the filial son Zhao Shu remembered that his father still wanted to "pretend to be Zhou Lang" to play, so he loudly greeted the attendants on the left and right, put on armor for Zhao Ji, led the horse, and said to Tong Guan and Gao Yu: "Since the official family has this interest, let it go with his will!" Let's not go out of the Taoist temple, just take a turn in the courtyard, let the official house blow a little cold wind, and sober up. ”

Since everyone who is filial has said so, it is not easy for others to say anything. So soon, someone put on a collar of gold lacquer mountain armor for Zhao Ji, and also put on a phoenix wing hood for him. Someone else led a horse to the courtyard of the Taoist temple.

Zhao Ji staggered out of the yard under the support of Zhao Shu and Zhao Zhen, two filial sons, and then was helped onto the war horse - of course, he couldn't let him ride the horse by himself, but someone helped him on the side, and someone helped lead the horse.

But before Zhao Ji was woken up by the night breeze in the courtyard, the noise that had disappeared just now rose again, and it was getting closer and louder.

Zhao Ji listened attentively, and vaguely seemed to hear countless voices shouting: "The big water is coming, the big water is coming......"

The second watch, the third watch at 6 p.m.
