Loyal to the liver and courage, unwilling to be willing; has the intention to kill the thief, but has no power to return to the sky. Zong Ze's mood at the moment is like this.

He shook his head, and there was some sadness in his voice: "The old man is almost old, and he no longer cares about the name before and after him. But the people of Huaibei and the Central Plains, no matter what, the old man must be preserved. Otherwise, when you get to Jiuquan, how can you explain to so many fathers and villagers. ”

"In the hundred years of the Great Song Dynasty, the elite divisions of the imperial court were all gathered in the border counties and the capital. The Jin people went south, and the forbidden army of the Beijing division was scattered, and there was not much left. Today, the elite of the border counties is only the Western Army, but it is also scattered, and there is no time to protect itself, let alone recover the lost territory. In the land south of the Yangtze River, the military equipment has long been slackened, and if the imperial court wants to go on a northern expedition, it is necessary to organize and train a new army, and it is really difficult to succeed without three or five years. ”

After carefully looking at the people in the room, Zong Ze closed his eyes slightly.

Zong Ying said in a deep voice: "My father and I discussed it, my father is seriously ill and it is not suitable for bumpy roads. This evacuation of Bianjing City will be done by a few people! ”

Yue Fei's heart was shocked, it seems that Zong Ze's father and son want to follow the story of the Three Towns, resist the will and disrespect, and resolutely resist Jin.

Li Ruoshui shook his head and sighed. Today, he is disheartened and incompatible with the Jiangnan Dynasty, which makes him inexplicably hateful.

Heading south, he won't go anyway.

Seeing that everyone in the room bowed their heads and remained silent, Zong Ying continued: "My father has sent a letter to Wang Xianggong, asking him to come to Bianjing City in the near future to discuss the entry of the loyal and righteous army into the city after our army leaves Bianliang City and Nanjing City. It is believed that Wang Xianggong will arrive soon. Where do you go, listen to your convenience, my father will not be reluctant, and please make your own decisions!"

After a while, Li Ruoshui raised his head and said in a low voice: "My next family is in Hebei, and I am a literati, even if I go south, it will not play a role." In addition, ...... the emperor has passed away, he is willing to stay and accompany the old minister. ”

He is quite loyal to Zhao Huan, and Zhao Huan also dotes on him. This kindness of knowing is really difficult to part.

Looking at everyone's eyes, Zhao Ding smiled indifferently and said loudly: "You are alone in the next place, whether you go or stay, it doesn't matter, you don't have to care."

If he stays, with the relationship between his daughter and Wang Song, and the fact that he helped Zhang Heng and Wang Lun, he will naturally be able to be a high-ranking official. However, perhaps he could do more things by going south.

He didn't want to be looked down upon by Wang Song, let alone by his daughter. The wealthy family naturally has his arrogance.

Yue Fei hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Sect Elder Xianggong, since you are unwell, and Li Gong is unwilling to go south, Zhao Xianggong is going south alone, and the lower officials are not very relieved. The lower officials were willing to lead the army and protect the people to the south. ”

"Brother Yue, I am only afraid of the armies in the city, and there are very few people who are willing to go south with you. As for the people in the city, the Jin people repeatedly invaded the Song Dynasty in the south, and they should have gone long ago. I'm afraid you'll have to go south alone. ”

Zong Ying shook his head, looked at Yue Fei, and sighed.

Yue Fei smiled bitterly, but he didn't speak, and stepped aside to sit down.

Hearing that there were no more words in the room, Zong Ze raised his head and said: "Zhao Mansion Yin and Pengju, when the time comes to go south, you two will lead the sergeants to escort the officials and people who go south, don't let down the instructions of the court and the old man!"

Zhao Ding and Yue Fei glanced at each other, stepped forward and bowed: "Wait for the lower officials, obey the military orders of the Prime Minister!"

Zhao Ding and Yue Fei retreated, Zong Ze couldn't help but let out a long breath, and said to himself: "Wang Song, Wang Song, I hope the old man can see you before he dies."

He narrowed his eyes and asked softly, "Ying'er, has there been any news from the Daimyo's Mansion recently?" Wang Song wouldn't have missed our letters, right? ”

Zong Ying persuaded: "Father, just rest!" North of the Yellow River, on the river and on land, it is the world of the prince of the king, and the letter will definitely be delivered, and the father does not need to worry. ”

Zong Ze shook his head and said softly: "It stands to reason that Wang Song should also arrive." Is he hesitating left and right?"

The distance from the Daimyo's house

Tokyo City, one day away. Wang Song must have been held back by something if he delayed so much.

"Father, although Wang Xianggong killed the Pucha Shijia slave and repelled the Jin people's Western Route Army, he had to deal with the coalition army of Liu Yu in Shandong and Wanyan Yinkeshu, and also took care of the Xia people. Even if the Loyal Army wins a great victory, it will take some time. Father waited with peace of mind. ”

Zong Ze nodded, looked at his son intently, and said after a long time: "Ying'er, if you are a good father, you will stay under Wang Song's account, and don't think about the Great Song Dynasty anymore."

Zong Ying was stunned, not knowing why her father would say such words. He said softly: "Father, don't think nonsense, just live and recuperate." My father asked me to vote for the prince, is it completely disappointed in the court?"

In her heart, Zong Ying had no good impression of the Great Song Dynasty at all. If it weren't for the faintness of the monarch and the mediocrity, blindly retreating south, and making a mess of chicken feathers, my father would not have been angry like this and fell ill.

When the country was ruined and the family was destroyed, the emperor's relatives and relatives, and the doctors of Huanghuang scholars, one by one, were still fighting for power and profit, intrigue, and making a good Song Dynasty world a miasma, and the people were miserable.

In his opinion, it was wise for his father to stay. If you go south with anger, you don't know what will happen along the way. With his father's body, he is shocked and sad, and it is unknown whether he can reach Jiangnan safely.

"Ying'er, you are generous and benevolent, long in strategy, but short in battlefield confrontation. You can join Wang Song's command, or counsellor plan, or serve as a parent official, which also has your ambitions. Wang Song and I have an old relationship, and if he can reuse the rural relics regardless of his background, it can be seen that he is open-minded, and he will not be embarrassed by you. Do you understand what the Father says?"

Zong Ze did not answer his son's question directly. The Great Song Dynasty of the Zhao family and his son no longer made him feel any hope. Don't say that the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun are this inherent place, I am afraid that I will not see the recovery of these places until I die.

Retreating to the south of the Yangtze River, the Central Plains was unable to recover, and the whip was beyond reach.

He Zongze is already past the age of antiquity, and he still wants to see the day when the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun will return to the Central Plains Dynasty.

"Father, even if my father and son hand over Tokyo City to Wang Song, what will happen to the tens of thousands of soldiers in this city?"

Zong Ying said in a low voice: "Hundreds of thousands of people in Tokyo City, the supply is all in the southeast. If Yue Fei and the others took away the soldiers in the city, leaving only the people, it would indeed be too unfair to Wang Xianggong. ”

All the grain in Tokyo City was transported from the southeast by canal, and if he only left these people to Wang Song, it was equivalent to leaving him a big burden that he couldn't shake off. If these corresponding soldiers were not left, Wang Song would have been overstretched as long as he had to deal with the pressure of the Jin people in the north and garrison the city of Tokyo.

"Ying'er, you've thought it through."

Zong Ze looked at his son appreciatively, and his eyes immediately became indifferent.

"My father has already arranged for me to leave at least 10,000 elite soldiers in Tokyo City. If others have to use force, no matter who they are, they should be eliminated by thunder. ”

Zong Ze said in a deep voice: "For my father, I can't leave the people of Tokyo City for a holy decree, and let the people of the world laugh. No matter who you are, it is impossible to prevent you from becoming a father. ”

Zong Ying nodded deeply. Father has never lost money on big festivals, it seems that for the sake of the people, he will offend the Zhao and Song courts this time.

From this incident, the decisive side of the father's killing is undoubtedly revealed. Don't look at his usual favor for Yue Fei and others, once it comes to military affairs, especially in the face of people's livelihood and suffering, he is never ambiguous, and he will definitely kill the killer.

Zhao Ding and Yue Fei left the Zongfu and were silent.

After a long time, Zhao Dingcai said: "Pengju, I heard that you and Wang Song have an old relationship, why don't you stay and recover the Great Song River and Mountain with him, protect the people of the neighborhood, but leave instead?" A famous general like you, under Wang Song, will soar to the sky, and the future is limitless, so why go to Jiangnan and bring humiliation on yourself. ”

Yue Fei was slightly stunned, he couldn't imagine that Zhao Ding only needed a scholar to say such a thing to him

, both inside and outside the words, he appreciated Wang Song.

"Zhao Xianggong, the canal is difficult and dangerous, bandits are rampant, if the lower officials do not lead troops to the south, Xianggong is alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to be thoughtful. Xia Guan really can't rest assured. ”

"Brother Yue, you are not alone in the military generals who go south, Zhang Jun, who stayed in Nanjing, will also lead the army to accompany him, and he has a sailor under his command to escort you. Time is running out, it's time for you to think about your future and that of your brothers. ”

Zhao Ding's words are serious. He didn't particularly know the relationship between his daughter and Wang Song. In his position, knowing that his daughter has a deep affection for Wang Song, he naturally has to think about it carefully.

The daughter has a life-saving grace for Wang Song, and the two have experienced hardships together, if the daughter can go further with Wang Song, how should she deal with herself?

With Wang Song's current strength, he is afraid that it will not be a problem to divide one side. If it is properly controlled, it is not impossible to go north and south and ascend the throne. Then the Hedong Zhao clan is afraid that they will also ascend to heaven.

If you want the Zhao family to ascend to heaven, I'm afraid you have to do something.

After staying with Yue Fei for a long time, he could see that Yue Fei was a rare genius. If Yue Fei can be returned to Wang Song's command, Wang Song's chances of success will be greater.

What's more, Wang Song is also eager for Yue Fei.

"Pengju, the old man is over half a hundred years old, and there is nothing to do. You are young and strong, and you have great ambitions, do you just watch the fathers and elders of Hebei suffer under the iron hooves of the Jin people? Can you bear to live in secret, buried in the land that migrated south? The husband should not only be loyal to the country, but more importantly, protect the people of Li and leave his name in history. ”

He stroked his beard and said meaningfully: "The Great Song Dynasty established the country, and it has always governed the military with literature, and the king and the scholars ruled the world together. You are a martial artist, you have no fame, and you have no shadow in the world, and you want to get ahead in the court, and you don't know what year or month. Even if you become famous and make great achievements, aren't you afraid of being like Di Wu Xianggong, being made out of nothing, dying of depression, and regretting for the rest of your life?"

Di Qing made a contribution to the sky, even if there was a Ming monarch like Song Renzong, in the end, he was framed by Wenchen and died depressed.

I don't have such a splashing credit, and secondly, the current emperor is obviously not a master like Song Renzong, and he doesn't have any foundation in the court, so what year and month will it take to come out?

No matter how he rejected Wang Song's kindness, Wang Song also respected himself. Not to mention that he had the grace of saving his life and knowing him back then.

On one side is the king and the court, and on the other side is the benefactor and the people, Yue Fei couldn't help but shake his head, such a choice is really a dilemma.

Yue Fei thanked Zhao Gong for his kind words and advice. I can't make up my mind yet. When the lower official goes back, he will tell his mother about this and see what his mother means. ”

Yue Fei clenched his fists and replied solemnly.

Almost as soon as Yue Fei spoke, the decision to go south was collectively opposed by Xu Qing, Wang Gui and others.

"Fifth brother, if you stay in Tokyo City, you can also control tens of thousands of troops, and you can control the princes of one side. When you go to Jiangnan, do you have to be constrained by the big turban all day long, this matter must not be!"

"Fifth brother, the imperial court has crossed to the south, the soldiers are weak and the generals are lacking, and there is absolutely no strength to go north, you and I may never return to our homeland after a hundred years. Wang Xianggong favors you, as long as you stay, not to mention the extremely popular ministers, at least you can be much more comfortable!"

While everyone was talking, my mother-in-law walked in.

"Gorou, personal honor and disgrace, passing by the clouds, don't care about it for the time being. But you have to have a clear conscience in doing things, and you can't be sorry for the people of the world. Do the math yourself, how long has it been since you went to your father's grave?"

The mother-in-law sat down, her voice serious, and her face solemn.

The country that you carry on your back is not a country that abandons the people and is selfish, but a country that is people-oriented and loves the people like children. Brother Yun reads me everything in the newspaper every day, he knows more than you!"

Yue Fei nodded again and again, sweat streaming down his forehead.

When did his son become Wang Song's supporter?
