At this moment, two thousand miles north of Yinzhou, there are mountains everywhere!

The Central Plains has just entered autumn, and here it has entered late autumn, the leaves have turned yellow, and the weather is very cold in the morning and evening.

It was already noon, and the sun was shining into the mountain forest, and the mountain forest became warm.

At this moment, a team of thousands of people is moving forward in the mountains and forests.

They were wearing the uniforms of the Song army, probably because of the long journey, and everyone looked dusty!

A young general walked in front of the army, he kept looking into the distance, constantly looking for the way, and behind him was a middle-aged Taoist priest.

The middle-aged Taoist priest has fluttering sleeves, and there is a sense of dust between walks.

"The environment in the north is really different from the Central Plains! The species here are peculiar, and there are many things that are not found in the Central Plains! Also, the beasts here are very different from the beasts of the Central Plains! The tigers here are much more ferocious than those in the Central Plains! The sun shone on the face of the middle-aged Taoist priest, and the middle-aged Taoist priest let out a long laugh and said.

"In the future, this place will also belong to our Great Song!" The young general in front led the way.

"It's been a month since we left Yanyun, I don't know how the imperial court is preparing now?" Middle-aged Taoist priests.

"It takes a lot of time to transport grain from Sichuan, Shu, Guanshan and other places to Yanyun and Datong! However, the imperial court has been preparing, and it should be almost ready now! It's just that the imperial court may have to wait for a while. The young general said.

"General, what are you waiting for?" A soldier next to him said.

"Waiting for the chaos in Liaodong! His Majesty sent Wang Gui, Ye Luhong and others into the Liaodong area in order to disturb the situation in Liaodong! When Liaodong is in turmoil, the imperial army will enter the north again, and it will be much easier to eliminate the Jin State in that way! Moreover, the imperial court will also wait for us to rescue the Emperor Taishang! Now that the Emperor Taishang is in the hands of the Jurchens, it is very likely that the Jurchens will use this to threaten His Majesty and the imperial court, which is very unfavorable to us! The young general said.

"How far is it from the City of the Five Kingdoms?" Middle-aged Taoist priests.

"It's only about five or six hundred miles away! But we're walking in the mountains, no one has ever been here, and the road is difficult, so it may take us days! The young general said.

"I wonder if the mountain here has a name?" A soldier asked.

"Nobody is here, where is the name? Walking all the way to the south, more than a thousand miles away is Changbai Mountain, where is the birthplace of the Jurchens! The young general said.

This place is probably located on the border of later Russia, which was the most inhospitable place in China in ancient times, and even the Khitans and Jurchens rarely came here in this era, and the mountains here naturally have no names.

The army is constantly moving forward, and there are soldiers exploring the road in front, they open roads and build bridges in the mountains!

The soldiers of the army carry food with them, but they have been gone for many days and are running out of food! Fortunately, there are abundant products in this mountain, and the number of wild beasts is extremely large! Yesterday alone, they killed two Siberian tigers, more than a dozen wild deer, countless roe deer and other small beasts! Plus, wild fruits are everywhere, and now is the time for them to ripen!

"The Emperor Taishang has been locked up in the Five Kingdoms City for seven years and has been tortured for seven years, and now I don't know what happened to him?" One of the lieutenants in the army asked.

"Actually, I don't think there's any need to save the Emperor Taishang! After Emperor Daojun returned from the north, he even wanted to seize the government, of course, he was wishful thinking, but after this matter was spread, the army was very dissatisfied! I, the Song Dynasty million soldiers, only recognize His Majesty alone, and I will definitely not recognize the Emperor! Now let's go to save Emperor Jingkang, who knows what will happen to Emperor Jingkang when he returns? The young general hesitated for a while, but still spoke.

"Whether it's Emperor Daojun or Emperor Jingkang, their time has passed! Now in the court, all the ministers are His Majesty's cronies, and all the generals in the army are also appointed by His Majesty! Your Majesty is the only one in the hearts of the people of the world! Under such circumstances, Emperor Daojun and Emperor Jingkang could only be their emperor with peace of mind, and it was impossible for them to do anything in the future. The middle-aged Taoist priest smiled and said.

"The Taoist is right! The reason why His Majesty wants to save the Emperor Taishang is also because of the kindness in his heart! His Majesty is a model of emperors through the ages! It is under the leadership of His Majesty that my Great Song Dynasty can be in full swing! After the return of the Emperor Taishang, it must be the time for His Majesty to march into the Jurchens! After we have destroyed the Jurchens, we will destroy the rest of the barbarians and reclaim all their homeland! The young general also knew that what he had just said was a bit reckless, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said.

"General, do we still have a homeland that we haven't recovered?" Several soldiers next to him had surprised expressions on their faces when they heard this.

"Of course, there is still the homeland that has not been recovered! Annan! That is the territory of our Han people, we must take it back! The young general said.

Annam is where Vietnam will be!

In the third century BC, Qin Shi Huang unified the Central Plains, after which Qin Shi Huang sent an army of 500,000 to conquer Baiyue in the south!

And Baiyue includes most of Guangdong, Guangxi, and most of Vietnam in later generations!

After the death of Qin Shi Huang, Qin II ascended the throne, and the world was in chaos! At that time, the Qin Dynasty's guards in Baiyue knew that there was nothing they could do, so they closed all the passes and established the Nanyue Kingdom in the Lingnan generation, calling themselves the "Martial King of Nanyue"!

When the Han Dynasty was established, Zhao Tuo declared himself a vassal to the Han Dynasty, and Nanyue became a vassal state of the Han Dynasty! By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent more than 100,000 troops to the south, completely conquered South Vietnam, and established Jiaozhou in South Vietnam! Jiaozhou is the southernmost territory of the Han Dynasty, Jiaozhou set up nine counties, ruling most of Guangdong, Guangxi, and Vietnam in later generations!

After all dynasties, Vietnam was a part of China! In the Tang Dynasty, the Han army was stationed here, and it was the location of the capital of Annan, so it was also called Annan!

Until the time of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the world was in turmoil, and local forces in various places stood on their own, including countless countries such as the Later Han, Later Shu, and Later Zhou, and Vietnam also took the opportunity to break away from the Central Plains!

The Song Dynasty was established, and the force was far inferior to that of the previous dynasties, and it was simply unable to recover Vietnam! So from the Northern Song Dynasty, Vietnam ceased to be part of China, but became a vassal state of China!

But in the hearts of many people in the Central Plains, it is still China's land!

"Yes, we are going to take back Annan! The Tang Dynasty garrisoned there, and we will garrison there too! All the Chinese language is used there, there are also imperial examinations, everything is exactly the same as China, and we must not allow it to dare to establish a country on its own! The lieutenant next to him said.

"It's to take back Annan!" The rest of the soldiers nodded their heads as well.

"In fact, in addition to Annam, we also have to knock down Goryeo, Dongying and other places! The imperial court has already intended to officially regard Yanjing as the capital, how can the side of the couch allow others to sleep peacefully? Goryeo and Dongying are too close to Yanjing City, and if they invade from the sea, it will pose a great threat to the imperial court, so these places must be completely recovered! In the next few years, our navy may not be idle! The young general laughed.

"It's great to have a fight!" The soldiers next to him were excited.

When Zhao Chen was in Guanshan and Hanzhong, he began to promote militarism, encouraging foreign expansion, and the country's political, economic, and cultural aspects were inclined to war, and the army took the establishment of military merits as the greatest glory! Except for a slightly calm last year, the army has hardly stopped all these years! Now when they hear that they can continue to fight, they have nothing but joy in their hearts!

The middle-aged Taoist priest followed behind the soldiers, but he was secretly sighing in his heart! But the larger the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, the easier it was for him to preach!

"At least there will be no more wars in the Central Plains! Although Chen Er is expanding externally, he is not blindly reckless, the Central Plains, Jiangnan, and Yanyun will become more and more prosperous, and my Great Song Dynasty is really in the sky! The middle-aged Taoist priest said secretly.

The army marched very fast, but it was dark early in the mountains, and at this time the mountains were extremely dangerous, and the army finally stopped, rested here, and the next day when it was dark, they began to march again.

The City of the Five Kingdoms is the northernmost city of the Golden Kingdom!

It is unusually remote and desolate, the surrounding area of the Five Kingdoms City is full of barren forests, the north of the Five Kingdoms City is the cascading mountains, and the west of the Five Kingdoms City is where the grasslands are located!

Even the Jurchens rarely come here!

The area here is small, the circumference of the castle is only two kilometers, and the height of the walls is only three meters! This place is much smaller than the original Kaifeng Imperial Palace, and it is far inferior to the Imperial Palace in Yanjing!

There are low thatched huts everywhere, which were used to imprison some monarchs and ministers from the Northern Song Dynasty!

In the innermost thatched hut, a middle-aged man with a pale face was lying there.

He looked very thin, almost skinny and bone-covered.

The room was very cold, and he didn't have a quilt, just hay on his body.

The door was pushed open, and an equally thin young man entered.

"Father!" The young man knelt in front of the middle-aged man's bed with a wooden plate.

"It's San'er!" The middle-aged man opened his eyes, glanced at the young man, and nodded.

"Father, in the morning, the Jurchens rewarded a few steamed buns, and we saved them for you to eat!" Youth Road.

There are three steamed buns on the plate, each one is the size of a child's fist, and there is a bowl of hot water in addition to the steamed buns!

Seeing this steamed bun and hot water, the middle-aged man's throat moved, he struggled to get up, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "I want to eat, it seems that my illness is about to be cured!" ”

"Father, use it quickly!" Young people are humane.

"Good!" The middle-aged man grabbed the steamed bun and began to devour, taking a sip of hot water from time to time, and for a moment he felt that his whole body was full of strength.

The young man next to him couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he watched the middle-aged man eat steamed buns.

"Father, the Jurchens said that you have been lying down for three days, and they will not let you continue to lie down, and he asked you to follow us to reclaim the land later." After the middle-aged man finished eating, the young man said.

"Oh, for the Father knows, let's go!" The middle-aged man struggled to get out of bed, feeling a little dizzy, and the young man hurriedly helped him, and the two of them walked outside together.
