Chapter 1496 King Kang Zhao Gou, in the end, he is still afraid
When Li Zhu led several infantry troops to intercept the forbidden army led by Zhang Bofen and Zhang Zhongxiong, Xiao Tang had also received the battle report that the leader of the Ma Bu Army was injured and killed in this battle. After hearing about Zhang Kai, Wang Wende, Fu Xiang, Su Ding, Mu Chun, Huang Yue, Wang Ding...... Seven more leaders were killed in battle, and several tribes suffered heavy casualties, Xiao Tang felt depressed in his heart, but he also knew very well that the tragic killing of such a scale of battle deaths would never be able to teach his brothers to be unharmed, and even defeat the army of the East Road of the Jin Kingdom with such a casualty ratio, the result was quite ideal, and it could definitely be called a great victory.
And Xiao Tang naturally did not have the slightest joy on his face, he ordered in a deep voice to collect the corpses of the leaders who died in battle and a group of fallen soldiers to be taken care of, and then led a group of leaders who followed him to meet the two emperors of the Song Dynasty, the clan, and the ministers who were being captured and imprisoned.
The horses galloped, and soon Xiao Tang first saw a tall, heroic man standing not far in front of him, and a head came to report that when the Song captives were in turmoil, the man snatched a riding bow, and grabbed a war horse to drive the string, looking at the posture as if he wanted to resist the defeated soldiers of the Jin army who slaughtered the Song captives. It's just that it didn't take long for the leaders of the tribes sent by Xiao Tang to lead the soldiers and horses to kill the remnants of the Jin army and appease the captive Song people.
And when the man saw Xiao Tang leading a group of horses to arrive not far in front of him, his expression was also a little complicated, and after a while, the man still drove forward, arched to Xiao Tang and said, "It's Xiao Renxia at your feet?" Gu Nai, the ninth son of Emperor Taishang, and the younger brother of Fang Jinsheng, King Kang, Zhao Gou, is indeed all dependent on his own to lead Liangshan Kou... The righteous army of Zhulu came to the rescue and solved the crisis, and it has solved the catastrophe of my Zhao clan. ”
Among the leaders around him, Zhao Gou was very angry, and the appearance of riding a horse with a bow was also very powerful, and some people thought that the two emperors of the Song Dynasty were dumb and unreasonable, and the rest of the princes of the clan were also pampered, and most of them were scared to the point of being scared when they saw the battle, but this King Kang Zhao was still a man with some courage, at least he was not frightened in front of the Jin Army Tartars, and he didn't dare to resist at all......
However, looking at Zhao Gou's deliberate appearance of being so majestic and awe-inspiring, Xiao Tang felt awkward about how he looked at it, and felt even more disobedient in his heart.
It is true that Zhao Gou in the official history stabilized the political situation after the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty. It is to make the rule of the Song Dynasty continue and the so-called "lord of Zhongxing Shoucheng", and in the face of the invasion of the Jin army every year when he was in power, even if he wants to recover the country, he must take into account the huge military expenditure and intensify the contradiction between the court and the people under his rule, in fact, it was the fierce war with the Jin army in the early Southern Song Dynasty that set off a large-scale rebellion, Zhao Gou was the first to keep half of the country as much as possible, and he could not sign the humiliating "Shaoxing Peace Conference" and from then on to the Jin State to ask for peace, It's only due to his greed for life and fear of death, and he is in a safe corner, regardless of the life or death of his father and brother... Moreover, during Zhao Gou's accession to the throne, he did stabilize the domestic economy, benefited even more than the Northern Song Dynasty in overseas trade, and was indeed much stronger than his Lao Tzu and his brother who were the most wasted firewood when they were emperors......
However, one yard is one yard, Qin Hui, Wang Boyan, Huang Qianshan, Wan Qiaodu, and a large number of other ministers who groveled to the Jin State and caused chaos in the dynasty were indeed promoted and reused by him; In the early days of the Southern Song Dynasty, they fled south in embarrassment, and during this period, they also constantly sent envoys to beg for surrender to the Jin Dynasty, imploring the Jin army not to march south, and only trying to protect themselves in the critical season of the Central Plains to fight against foreign invaders without making any proper arrangements, which caused the Jin army to quickly annex half of the Song Dynasty. Rao is a famous anti-Jin general, a national hero, Yue Fei is upright and easy to commit, not only out of selfishness, but also to show goodwill and sincerity to the Jin army's foreign invaders, so he and the traitor Qin Hui created Yue Fei's father's rebellion case, and killed the loyal and martyred generals who resisted foreign humiliation on "trumped-up" charges, but only the culprit of the world's bloody righteous people's cold hearts, and it is still this Zhao Gou!
Xiao Tang thought of this, and looked at Zhao Gou coldly. And although Zhao Gou put on a mighty appearance with a horizontal sword, seeing that Xiao Tang, the leader of the rebel army who had previously rebelled against the imperial court, looked at him like a knife, and when he looked straight to his side, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and secretly said: Although the current situation is far better than being captured by foreign Kou Tatars and taken to the barbaric land of Saibei, but my Zhao royal clan is now hanging in the hands of this Xiao Tang...... And what is he going to do with us?
Although he was terrified in his heart, Zhao Goqiang maintained his composure and said: "Now that the national disaster is at the head, Xiao Renxia has led all the roads to bravely resist foreign humiliation, and now the situation can no longer be handled by ordinary legal principles. Xiao Renxia conquered and broke the Kou, saved the country's mountains and rivers in danger, and has taught all heroes to build immortal achievements, which can be used in the country... Now the Jin Kou Tartars are still eyeing me, coveting my Great Song Dynasty, Rao is commander led all the roads and heroes to become a fire and water with the imperial court... With the intention of loneliness, Xiao Renxia not only made great achievements, but also enough to teach his father the emperor to forgive the original sin, and first support the Song Dynasty Gang, so that he could share the same hatred and resist foreign insults...... But I don't know what Xiao Renxia thinks? ”
Listening to Zhao Goubaba's question, Xiao Tang smiled coldly, secretly in this situation, neither this Zhao Gou nor the second emperor of the Song Dynasty dared to mention that I was a thief who had betrayed the imperial court. And this Zhao Gou seems to be calm and calm, but the fire refines real gold, if this guy faces the most severe and tragic test, how long can he hold on?
When the time comes to create heroes, not everyone has the courage and perseverance to face the hardships and trials they have to endure. Looking at the trajectory of Zhao Gou's central transformation in the official history, it is obvious that even if he pretends to be awe-inspiring and fearless, he will inevitably be defeated by unforgettable fear.
"Enough for the instructor's family to forgive my original sin? But I have never felt that I have committed a crime that requires the court's leniency......"
Xiao Tang sneered, and then said: "If I, Xiao Tang, don't turn my back on the imperial court, even if I haven't been victimized by the court's power before, I will now have to end up being taken captive and enslaved by the Jin army like the second emperor of the Song Dynasty and many courtiers... If I don't oppose the imperial court, how can I gather this righteous army to intercept and kill the Jin army here? Just for the sake of the official Ronglu in the court, he was obedient in the court, not only when the foreign invaders invaded Bianjing, they could only sit and wait for death, but also so that the people of the world were also ravaged under the iron hooves of the Jin army...... His Royal Highness King Kang, I am Xiao Tang, but what is the crime? ”
Listening to Xiao Tang's voice, Zhao Gou's face changed immediately, but he was upset, but how could he directly retort against Xiao Tang in such a situation? Zhao Gou's hands couldn't help but tremble slightly, and just when the scene was at a stalemate, Xiao Tang changed the conversation again and said: "But it is true that as King Kang said, now that the national disaster is at hand, it is necessary to fight against the enemy and resist foreign insults, otherwise I don't have to fight hard to damage the lives of the righteous brothers under my command, and come to fight with the Jin army, save the second emperor to protect the Central Plains from falling apart, and teach the Jin foreign invaders to encroach and invade."
Since we must work together, Song Ting and I must discuss the important matter of resisting foreign invaders, and it will not be difficult for the two officials and the Zhao clan, His Royal Highness King Yikang can also rest assured...... Now is the time to discuss it in detail, but I don't know how the official family will feel when they see me as a thief in the same situation now? ”
