…

In the more than two years after Zhao Gou fled to Lin'an, especially in the year and a half after the signing of the "Great Unification Peace Conference" between the Chinese and Song Dynasties, it can be said that Zhao Gou had the happiest time in his life.

When he was in Bianliang City, Tokyo, although Zhao Gou was the king of Kang, because his mother Wei Xianfei was not liked by Zhao Ji, he had to live with his tail between his legs every day, which can be said to be cautious, and naturally there was no happiness at all.

Later, the Jin people called, and Zhao Gou escaped by luck, but he was displaced again, and the future was precarious.

Nowadays, many people are slandering Zhao Gou, saying that he "has made a plan to hide in peace; Raising troops into the guard is a resource for self-protection. ”

In other words, Zhao Gou calculated that Bianliang City would definitely be broken when the Jin people killed him, and then find an opportunity to escape from Bianliang City, and then gather the world's soldiers to not save his father and brother, but to protect himself with those hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.

This is, of course, a slander against Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou, who was only nineteen years old at the time, had had the astonishing foresight that the Jin people would have destroyed Bianliang City, and the Southern Song Dynasty would not have fallen into such a field now.

Besides, Zhao gathered the world's soldiers, and instead of saving his father and brother, he used hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to protect himself.

At the beginning, Zhao Gou had more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, but the strength of those soldiers and horses was too different from that of the Jin army.

Of course, all the choices after that were made by Zhao Gou himself, including his father and brother, his clansmen, including watching his mother and concubines and all the women of their Zhao family become Li Yan's playthings.

During that period of displacement, Zhao Gou witnessed the barrenness of the countryside and the devastation of the people, and it can be said that he was accustomed to seeing the suffering of the world.

finally arrived in the Splendid Jiangnan, and Zhao Gou, who had broken through the constraints of ethics and morality, naturally wanted to rest and rest.

Zhao Gou appointed Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan as prime ministers, and let this pair of like-minded traitors preside over the government, and he also said proudly: "Boyan and Qianshan are the left and right ministers, and I will not have to worry about it from now on." ”

Zhao Gou lamented that he had been adrift for so many years, and thought that now he could finally settle down and enjoy it, so he lived a comfortable life in Lin'an.

Outside the mountain, the Qingshan Building is outside the building, and the West Lake singing and dancing will be closed. The warm wind smokes the tourists drunk, and makes Hangzhou Bianzhou.

Unexpectedly, it has only been more than a year, and the Chinese army has crossed the river!

Zhao Gou didn't want to fight with the Chinese army, so he endured the humiliation and begged Li Yan to let the Chinese army return to the court.

But Li Yan's heart turned out to be made of iron and stone, ignoring the relationship between their uncles and nephews or even father and son, and he had no intention of retreating!

Forced to be helpless, Zhao Gou could only let the front-line army resist the invasion of the Chinese army with all his might.

At the same time, Zhao Gou began to make plans for the next step.

First of all, accountability, there must be accountability!

Zhao Gou is not wrong as the emperor.

It was the minister who was wrong, and it was the minister who mistook Zhao Gou, the emperor.

It was the ministers who told Zhao Gou that "the Chinese army will not fight", Zhao Gou was not prepared, and the Song army was caught off guard by the Chinese army.

So who is specifically responsible?

Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan, the two prime ministers, are definitely to blame, if it weren't for the fact that the two prime ministers who have no ability and no vision say in his ear every day, "The lord has lost his ambition and has begun to fall, and the Great Song Dynasty is safe", can he Zhao Gou not guard against the Chinese army?

Therefore, Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan are the culprits and must be punished.

But—

Then again, after all, Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan have contributed to Sheji, and they have been playing with him Zhao Gou for so long, so he can't do things too well.

In the end, after comprehensive consideration, Zhao Gou degraded Wang Boyan to live in Yongzhou, and degraded Huang Qianshan to Meizhou.

After asking the blame, Zhao Gou discussed with the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Southern Song Dynasty what to do next?

What else can I do?

Just like what Zhao Gou said in his letter to Li Yan, "In ancient times, there was a country and those who were forced to die were just guarding and running", that is, under Li Yan's lack of mercy, they either held on or could only run.

Zhao Gou is worthy of his name of "Zhao Run Run", and his first thought is to run.

Moreover, Zhao Gou had already figured out where to run.

It was the western region, and Zhao Gou was going to take this opportunity to move the capital to Xingyuan Mansion.

Saying to run, Zhao Gou was ready to leave, he didn't want to be stuck at home like his father and brother.

Soon, Zhao Gou asked his concubines to pack their bags, and he was ready to take them to "patrol" Xingyuan Mansion.

But just when Zhao Gou was about to leave, news suddenly came back from the west: The Chinese army has also moved in the west, and the Chinese army has mobilized at least 200,000 troops in the west, and the offensive is more fierce than in the east.

This couldn't help but make Zhao Gou stop his steps that were about to run - he was very afraid, as soon as he arrived at Xingyuan Mansion with his front foot, the Chinese army would come over with his back foot!

What's more, the people sent by Zhao Gou to the west secretly sent back the news that although the situation of the warlords there had improved after Zhang Jun arrived in the west, the situation there was still very chaotic.

Moreover, after Wu Jue arrived in the western region, he used his previous connections in the Western Army to vigorously plot against the generals of the Song Army, and collected a large number of rebels in the western region, although Zhang Jun did not report, but Zhao Gou actually already knew, up to now, there are, Song generals Wang Zeren, He Shifan, Zhang Zhongfu and others led more than 20,000 people to join the Chinese army, Meng Di, Zhang Mian, Zhang Jian and other rebels were also incorporated by Wu Jue.

Such a western region, does Zhao Gou dare to go?

Therefore, after thinking about it, Zhao Gou decided not to go to the western region for the time being.

But apart from the western region, Zhao Gou really has nowhere to go.

Just as Zhang Jun said to Zhao Gou at the beginning, the Dazhong Navy is the first in the world, so it is unsafe in the sea and even in the coastal areas, and there are Li Cheng, Zhong Xiang and other rebels in the southeast belly area.

Just ask, where can he Zhao Gou flee to?

In the end, Zhao Gou could only pin his hopes on the front-line troops, hoping that they could withstand the Chinese army.

But—

Zhao Gou will not be like his brother Zhao Huan, who does not prepare anything, but just stupidly waits for the enemy to kill and besiege the city, and then he is captured.

Zhao Gou may have heard of Yelu Yanxi's glorious deeds of running for four or five years, and the Jin army mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to fail to catch him, so he also grabbed the medicine according to the prescription, ordered people to prepare thousands of good horses, and put all his own belongings on horseback.

Zhao Gou had even thought about it, and he would just wait for the Chinese army to hit Taihu Lake, and he would run away.

Zhao Gou didn't think about resisting, just thinking about running, wasn't he afraid of the world being laughed at?

Of course not.

If he was afraid, Zhao Gou couldn't do this.

Moreover, Zhao Gou, like Yelu Yanxi, also has his own set of rhetoric.

Zhao Gou said that such things as defending the capital and defending Sheji should have been done by the princes, not by the Son of Heaven.

Zhao Gou believes that in the past, the princes of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were small, and there were foreign enemies to invade, and those princes had no place to run, so they could only defend the city.

Zhao Gou also found an argument for himself, saying that Li Gang persuaded my father and brother to defend Bianliang in Tokyo, but in the Battle of Jingkang, my father and brother were arrested at the same time, and if they escaped at that time, it would be fine.

Zhao Gou came to the conclusion from this that he must not do stupid things to resist, and he is not afraid of running out of firewood?

And yet—

It's a pity that Zhao Gou has calculated everything, but he still counts one thing!
