Chapter 354: King Kang escapes
Tang Ke saw that Qin Hui had come to ruin his own good deeds again, and angrily reprimanded Qin Hui for cursing the capital in trouble, and compared the Holy Monarch Qinzong to the tyrant King Zhou You, who had fallen into trouble, and had ill intentions.
Seeing that a war of words was about to break out again, several old ministers stepped forward to stop the war and let it end hastily. Tang Ke even more viciously announced: to agree to all the requests of the Jin people, King Kang Zhao Gou immediately went to the Jin camp with the holy decree, and ceded the three towns with the Jin envoy.
In fact, the reason why Zhao Gou was named and asked to go to Jinying was because Wanyan Zongwang had a deep impression of Zhao Gou. He believes that only Zhao Gou is a bloody man in the royal family, and this battle is to destroy the Song Dynasty, and Zhao Gou must not be allowed to escape, otherwise if he sits on the throne, he will definitely fight with Dajin to the end.
Zhao Gou knew that if he went to Jinying this time, he would not have the good luck of last time, and last time he went to Jinying with the heart of death, his heart was suddenly clear, so he could let it go. Dare to compare archery with Jin Jiang, dare to talk back to Wanyan Zongwang, and don't want to escape death without intention. Zhao Gou walked all the way and thought about the best plan to escape, it was easy to escape, it was a big deal to kill these two golden envoys, but there had to be a reason to escape, otherwise it would be disobeying the holy decree.
The golden envoy had a casual conversation with Zhao Gou, Zhao Gou's thoughts were not concentrated and he dealt with it at will, and the golden envoy also thought that his conversation made Zhao Gou unhappy, so he casually asked: "King Kang, where is this?" ”
Zhao Gou said casually and ignored it, Jin Envoy was angry in his heart, and said with a dark face: "Swallow it so slowly, when will it arrive!" ”
"Haha, God help me! It turns out that this guy doesn't know the way! When I take them to a remote area and let the people kill them, I will escape on the pretext of recruiting the king of Qin, and there will be soldiers in my hands! ”
Zhao Gou was overjoyed when he heard this, and he immediately changed his smiling face and said to the golden envoy: "This king is going to leave quickly!" ”
He glanced at the guards behind him and said, "All the way to the rest of the words, follow the king quickly!" ”
The golden envoy looked at King Kang who was galloping and sneered, this kind of gentleman prince can't give a good face, just now he put a straight face on the prince's shelf, and in a blink of an eye, he changed it to a smiling face like a grandson.
Zhao Gou deviated slightly and went against Jinying, and ran into the Xiangzhou boundary a few days later. In the past few days, the golden envoy also found that the road was different, and asked Zhao Gou several times and said that it was a fork in the road, and he was afraid that there would be armed people along the way to intercept and sabotage the peace talks, so the golden envoy believed it.
Walking and walking this day, there are more and more people following along the way, just like Zhao Gou exposed his treasures, attracting many people from the rivers and lakes to rob the treasures. The two golden envoys were uneasy when they saw that the people who followed them showed angry eyes, but neither of them would have dreamed that Zhao Gou would expose them as treasures. With these two golden envoys, it is to announce to the people that King Kang is coming, and it will also attract people with lofty ideals to help.
Although the people didn't know Zhao Gou, they still guessed that this person was not simple from the way he dressed, and they were afraid of his identity. So they followed them at first, and then they got too angry, and they surrounded them. One of the strong men asked, "Who are you?" How can you be with Golden Dog? ”
"Bold! How dare you surround Prince Kang! Don't want to live anymore? ”
After seeing the ill-intentioned eyes of the people, a guard reprimanded in front of Zhao Gou: "Prince Kang went to Jinying with His Majesty's imperial decree to negotiate peace, you quickly get out of the way, otherwise you will be punished as a thief!" ”
"Huh?"
The people looked at them in disbelief, or the strong man asked, "Are you really Prince Kang?" Since you are going to Jinying, why did you come to Xiangzhou in the opposite direction? ”
"What do you little people know? Get out of the way or ......"
Before the guards could finish speaking, Zhao Gou stopped him, and then he dismounted and bowed to the people: "Folks! It's Zhao Gou below! Your Majesty was deceived by the illusion of the Jin people and sent me to the Jin camp to negotiate peace. Folks, think about it, will the soldiers of the poor country invade the Song Dynasty just for the sake of land reparation? No! They want to destroy my Great Song! I, Zhao Gou, am not fooled, I want to recruit troops and horses in Xiangzhou, kill Jin Kou, and save King Qin! ”qq
The crowd was ignited by Zhao Gou's words, they shouted to kill Jin Kou, and King Qin's words to save the driver pulled the two Jin envoys off their horses and beat them into dead dogs. The strong man stepped forward and asked, "You are the Prince of Kang, Zhao Gou, who took the initiative to invite Ying to the Jin camp as a hostage, won the arrow against Guo Yaoshi, and was later sent back by the Jin people?" ”
Zhao Gou smiled slightly: "Exactly!" ”
When the strong man heard this, he immediately bowed down and said, "Xiaomin Miao Fu visits Prince Kang!" ”
The other people bowed down when they saw the legendary brave Prince Kang. Zhao Gou invited everyone to get up and said: "The bloody men in Xiangzhou will follow me Zhao Gou to kill Jin Kou, and King Qin will save him!" ”
"Miao Fu is willing to kill Jin Kou with Prince Kang!"
Miao Fu was the first to join, and many people present also joined in, and Miao Fu invited Zhao Gou to a small wine shop on the side of the road to rest. The small wine shop couldn't bring out any delicacies from the mountains and seas to entertain Prince Kang, so he killed the only rooster and took out some village-brewed water wine and pasta.
Zhao Gou was tasting the local flavor, and there seemed to be many people running outside, and then stopped in front of the wine shop. Zhao Gou was taken aback, it was obvious that such a neat pace must be a group of troops, could it be that the Qin Sect sent someone to arrest him? In the midst of the shock, I saw a white-bearded general with gorgeous hair and white beard, although he was old, his eyes were blazing, and his spirit was strong, and he asked when he entered the door: "Prince Kang can rest here?" ”
Zhao Gou saw that he didn't know this person, how could such an old military general know him if he was in the capital, and he thought that it was definitely not the imperial court's chasing soldiers, so he got up and said: "Zhao Gou is here, I don't know who the general is?" ”
The man bowed down and said, "The last general, Zong Ze, will meet Prince Kang!" ”
Zhao Gou hurriedly helped Zong Ze up and said, "General Zong doesn't have to be polite!" I don't know what the general is looking for Zhao Gou? ”
Zong Ze saw that Zhao Gou was a Zhao Gou, without a little princely shelf, and he already liked it in his heart. He bowed down and said: "The last general was originally the governor of Cizhou, and after the Jin soldiers broke the truth, they attacked Cizhou." The last general led the crowd to resist, but the city had few small soldiers, and after the city was broken, the last general led the crowd to break through. originally wanted to lead the troops across the river to kill Jin Kou, but later heard that His Highness was going to Jinying to negotiate peace, so he wanted to prevent His Highness from entering the tiger's den. I inquired all the way, and I didn't want His Highness to come to Xiangzhou. Just now, it was rumored by the people that His Royal Highness was recruiting troops and horses to kill Jin Kou, and King Qin rescued him, and the last general came over! ”
Zhao Gou was overjoyed, he had heard of this person, he was upright and bold, Shen Yi knew the soldiers, he was a talent, and he was promoted by Qinzong for a short time. Jin Bing is about to fight in Cizhou, and no one else will go to Cizhou to take office, so he dares to take office. It's really lucky to meet Zong Ze today, if he recruits soldiers and horses, he will have a good general to command.
The two were talking, and they heard the crowd outside, Zong Ze and Zhao Gou both went out, only to see another team of people rushing towards the wine shop. A civil official in his fifties immediately carried a longbow and a quiver at his waist, and hurriedly shouted: "Prince Kang can be here?" The lower official Wang Boyan came to protect His Highness! ”
After Zhao Gou and Wang Boyan met, they let Zong Ze and Wang Boyan know each other, and the three of them discussed going to Xiangzhou to live temporarily. Then recruit troops and horses in Xiangzhou, and then plan to be the king of Qin. Zhao Gou just wants to find a good reason to escape, find a safe place to stay, and find a group of people to protect himself, as for King Qin's affairs, it depends on the situation, to be honest, Jin Kou is really not easy to fight.
Zhao Gou was also very generous, he handed over all the 1,000 taels of gold that Qinzong asked him to take to Wanyan Zongwang as a meeting gift, and handed it over to Wang Boyan and Zong Ze, saying that it was to recruit troops and buy horses. Before leaving, he also left a piece of jade pendant on his body to the shopkeeper, saying that it was a souvenir. The shopkeeper would never have imagined that an emperor and two prime ministers would come to his small shop today.
Qin Zong put down the fold in his hand and sighed softly, the old general was really loyal, and he came immediately after receiving the order of King Qin, and asked him to go back to receive the order, without complaint. He also reminded him in a book that Jin Kou sent 400,000 troops this time, almost overwhelming the country, and was preparing to destroy the Song Dynasty, and suggested that he follow the example of Emperor Tang Ming and retreat to Shuzhong in order to try to Dongshan. At the same time, he also gave him a reassurance, the old general has gathered the western army, if Jin Kou attacks the city, he will personally lead the army to Qinwang.
What a good old general! It's time to retire in your seventies, but you're still working for the country. It's not that I don't want to return to Shuzhong, but I can't retreat, when the emperor left, I was on top, and now I am gone, who will top.
The crown prince Zhao Chen is only ten years old, how can he be a state affair, do you want to give the rights you just got to a certain prince? Thinking that his father was under house arrest in Longde Palace by himself, let alone his brother? At that time, the situation was not much worse than that of King Yun. It's not that I'm reluctant to have rights now, but even if I'm willing, I'm not as good as a civilian, I won the bet last time, and I'll gamble again this time.
