Chapter 370: Zhao Guan's Family

Zhao Huan, the emperor, was forcibly sent to the throne, and it is ridiculous to say, his father pushed him to power as a scapegoat, and he was also sad and unwilling to ascend the throne as the emperor, so that he fainted for a while while in the struggle.

But after taking the throne, Zhao Huan successfully survived the original crisis.

When he locked his father in Longde Palace, Zhao Huan had woken up laughing in his sleep more than once, his father who was not responsible was really smart but was mistaken by cleverness, now he is the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, how can he still tolerate the old man yelling at five and six?

It's a pity that Zhao Huan escaped the first day of junior high and couldn't escape the fifteenth, and he still has to come.

After only a few months, Jin Bing once again drank the Yellow River and went south to Bianjing.

This time there were more gold soldiers, but there were fewer defenders in the city.

"All this may have been doomed after the defeat of the Battle of Taiyuan......"

In the long dark night of winter, Zhao Huan did not fall asleep, but stood in the dormitory, looking at the heavy snow flying in the outer courtyard in a daze. Because he thought of the Dao of the Seed Master, today's attack on the East Water Gate is very urgent, and the Chongyan Chong, who has not taken off his filial piety, is on the battlefield, and he is the grandson of the Dao of the Seed Master.

Zhao Huan listened to the news, and felt very uncomfortable. Thinking about the misery at the moment, he didn't beat his chest and cry, he was already cheeky.

If you could use the words of the master at the beginning, why would the state affairs stop here?

In less than a year, when the Jin soldiers went south for the first time, the seed master Dao, who had lost his official position because of the defeat of the Xuanhe Northern Expedition, was ordered to enter the king of Beijing Qin, he did not enter Beijing directly, but immediately set off to the east, rushed to Yao Pingzhong, and took the latter's 7,000 steps to ride north.

He also ordered people to post notices along the way: Chong Shaobao led a million soldiers to come.

In addition, as soon as they arrived, they fearlessly approached the enemy camp, and the Jin army, which had already approached Kaifeng City, really thought that a million troops were coming, so they were so frightened that they pulled out of the camp and left, and moved a distance to the north to avoid the "million" Song army.

Zhao Huan, who was already anxious by the situation, was very happy when he heard that the old man was coming, and worshiped him as the major master of the inspection school, the Tongzhi Privy Council, and the envoy of the two rivers of Gyeonggi, and all the soldiers and horses were commanded by him.

But before the arrival of the Planter, Zhao Huan had already made peace with the Jin people and promised to pay a huge amount of compensation to the Jinren, and the Planter Dao suggested that he delay the payment of the compensation. It is said that after a long time, the Jin army will definitely slack off, and they all want to return to their hometown in the north, and then block their way back and wipe them out in the area of the Yellow River.

But this correct suggestion was vetoed by Li Bangyan, the prime minister of the Lord and He. In fact, it was also vetoed by Zhao Huan.

At that time, Zhao Huan was single-minded and hurried to send the Jin people away.

But when Yao Gu led the Xihe soldiers to aid Bianjing, and the strength of the Song army increased, Zhao Huan felt sorry for the conditions he had promised, and then wanted to fight again, urging the division to fight every day.

However, the Seed Master Dao thought that the time was not ripe, and it should not be too late to fight after the army in the Seed Master arrived.

Zhao Huan then bypassed the seed master road and discussed with Yao Pingzhong to rob the camp in the middle of the night and attack the Jin army, so that he was defeated not to mention (Yao Pingzhong failed to rob the camp, and he walked away, and the figure was gone), and he gave Jin a mouth, and then the lion's mouth was about to bite down the three towns of Taiyuan.

Zhao Huan, who was frightened, ate all the conditions of the golden man. When the Jin soldiers retreated, the seed master Dao proposed to sneak attack while the Jin people crossed the river, but Zhao Huan no longer had the courage to accept it.

Just look at the first battle of Tokyo, how much evil he did because of his capriciousness, others dare not say, but Zhao Huan himself knows it very well.

Now, when he saw Chong Yanchong, who was wrapped in white filial piety but fighting in armor, he thought of the old seed, and he regretted it, but it was too late, wasn't it?

Under the light of the fire in the outer courtyard, goose feathers and snow fell.

Zhao Huan felt very pitiful, because even God was helping the Jin people, and he had to fight against the Great Song Dynasty.

These barbaric Jin people come from the bitter cold land of Northeast China, and they have never been afraid of wind and snow, and they are not afraid of cold. But the Han people are not like that.

In my memory, the gentle and wealthy city of Tokyo seems to have never experienced such severe cold and so many snowstorms.

He couldn't help but ask himself, since he succeeded to the throne, when did he not conscientiously plan the affairs of the court? How could you ever spend a day lazy with your dad having leisurely fun? For the society left by the ancestors, I can be said to have done my best and done my best! But why doesn't God have long eyes? Why is it so cold and so snowy?

In the past few days, he has been out on patrol several times, and he has seen many soldiers who know how to tremble all over, and their fingers, mouth, and nose are red. Even Queen Zhu of the harem personally paid coins and silks to the inner house, bought cotton threads, and mobilized palace concubines and maids to weave cotton scarves and distribute them to the soldiers guarding the city. But what did the defenders say: Although they have this, why are they covered in single clothes, how can they keep out the cold?

Zhao Huan's eyes suddenly flashed in front of him, and the figure of the soldier defending the city flashed again. They were shivering with cold, their fingers were frozen, they could barely hold their weapons, and some of them were frozen to death.

Only this winter's heavy snowstorm has invisibly boosted the three-point combat power of the Golden People.

If he hadn't known that it was useless to ask God, he would have prayed barefoot and single-clothed to pray for the heavens to be merciful, stop the snow, and hurry up sunny and warm.

Therefore, how can Zhao Huan, who is in turmoil, sleep.

He felt that he should issue another edict and give the defenders another reward. Although the treasury was empty, the defenders had really performed well after more than a month of fighting.

Yao Youzhong, Zhang Shuye, Liu Yanqing, Wang Qiong ......, these people are really good.

Because the defenders of Tokyo City have never been able to see the Qinwang army in various places, in order to show the courage to fight, since the siege of the city, they have often sent elite soldiers down to the city to challenge the Jinren. Every time he went out to fight, he was hundreds of people, and although he suffered heavy casualties, he also won the heads of many golden people.

Of course, the crisis is also very serious.

Because there are 60,000 or 70,000 defenders in the capital, only half of them are afraid of fighting, and the rest can only be regarded as making up the number, and the military discipline and military regulations are very poor.

Whenever the Jin people attacked, they scrambled to fire arrows and artillery, each firing in the thousands. However, most of them did not hit the golden soldiers, and they often gave up. But you can only watch, you can't speak. If anyone dares to stand up and stop him, the army will surely accuse him of being a spy and swarm him to kill him. These people also demanded rewards after the war.

Of course, the reward officer would not do it, and he only verbally agreed, and the soldiers were also very dissatisfied, and the contradictions between the two sides were also acute.

And Zhao Huan also knows very well that among his subordinates, there are really a lot of bastards who are vegetarian in the corpse position.

For example, ten days ago, a heavy snowstorm stopped. Although the cold wind was still biting, Zhao Huan was still happy. He thought it was a good sign. He put on his armor again and went to the city to inspect and comfort the defenders.

He first came to the Dongshui Gate, where the battle was fierce, to comfort and comfort the soldiers and civilians who were guarding here day and night. He even ventured to climb the tower. He wanted to personally observe the situation of the Jin army outside the city. Then he was shocked to find that the moat outside the city had been more than half buried by the Jin army. asked Li Zheng, the official of the Imperial Guard: "What's going on?" ”

Not to mention how the river was filled, but how could he not know anything about it?

This Li Zheng was originally the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and at that time he was the official of the South Wall, that is, the boss of the guard of the South Wall of Bianjing.

But although he eats and lives on the city tower every day, he builds his sitting and sleeping place as luxurious as the Yan Ge State Guesthouse. Every day, he only drinks and cooks tea with his wingmen, or plays the piano or laughs, and wakes up and gets drunk.

The guards Sun Fu, Wang Zongwei and He Li all knew the situation of the moat, but none of them asked, and the soldiers sighed.

He Qingyuan, the commander of Nancheng, once offered advice to Li Zheng: "The gold thief crosses the river with a wooden plank bridge, and the bridge will be completed." Please shoot the cave house with a rocket with an eight-ox crossbow under the city, as in the northern city, so that the enemy cannot hide people in the cave house, and the bridge will not be completed. However, Li Zhengli ignored He Qingyuan, causing the moat to be gradually filled by the Jin army, and by the time Zhao Huan saw it, it was about to be filled in.

Moreover, when Liu Yanqing was guarding the southern city earlier, he put bundles of pine resin in an iron basin, lit them and hung them on the city tower, and the fire shone through the city. At the same time, the garrison was strengthened, and once the golden people were found crossing the river, they were full of arrows. As a result, the Jin army was never able to reach the outside of the city. However, after Li Zheng came to take charge of guarding the southern city, the garrison was slack, sometimes there was no fire at night, and it was dark outside the city, so the Jin army took the opportunity to step up the reclamation of the river.

Zhao Huan was furious and immediately ordered Li Zheng to be removed from his post and Tian Hao to replace him. But when he returned to the palace, he was in tears. There's a bunch of these bastards under him, and he really can't even sleep.

Thinking about Li Zhen's actions, it is not an exaggeration to kill him with a real knife.

It was such a night, Zhao Huan looked at the heavy snow outside the palace in a daze, and even remembered the old ancestor Emperor Zhenzong. The Khitan people are so sensible, and they settle down when they get the benefits. Completely forgetting that before the alliance between the Liao and Song Dynasty, the Song army also showed strong combat effectiveness.

At this time, there were bursts of cheers from outside the palace, which didn't make him shocked!

Like a frightened bird, what he is most afraid of now is things that are beyond his control.

"Official, official. Happy event, great joy......"

Wang Zongmi's helmet ran away, and his hair, beard, and armor were covered with a layer of snowflakes. He is also half a hundred years old, wearing a bright bronze mountain armor weighing thirty or forty pounds, but he runs like a young man.

"Cousin go slowly, what's going on."

Zhao Huan's heart was put down again. Wang Zongwei is his cousin, although he is older than Zhao Ji.

is Zhao Huan's most trusted person.

He was a great joy, and it was certainly not a bad thing.

What's more, Zhao Huan, who had settled his mind, could also tell that the voice outside the palace was cheering, not the mournful shouts of the golden people entering the city.

"Chen Liu......, Chen Liu............, great victory."

After seeing Zhao Huan, Wang Zongwei said breathlessly.

Zhao Huan's face immediately changed, and a pair of eyes were about to shine.

"Is this true?"

"How dare the villain deceive the officials. Cao Xianggong, who was sent by King Kang to report the victory, was outside. A few days ago, King Kang defeated the gold thief in the first battle of Chenliu, beheading more than 30,000 people, and the golden soldier was killed. ”

Zhao Huan's face was completely filled with crazy joy, and after so many days of worrying, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Quick, go and summon Cao Xianggong."

"The slaves and maids congratulated the officials. The gold thief suffered such a big defeat, and the morale will be lost, and my Great Song Jiangshan Sheji will definitely have no worries. ”

The eunuchs and palace maids around them all knelt down waiting for the opportunity.
