Song Jiang, Li Kui, and the other generals who survived were also seriously injured, and they were very sad in their hearts. Because of this war, they lost their brothers, and even more so their comrades-in-arms who once fought side by side, and everyone was very sad.

Even if they are sad in their hearts, they still have to stick to their posts, just because they are the generals who defend the side, this is their responsibility, and it is their obligation. Resisting the Jin soldiers is not for Zhao Huan, but for the people of the world, and for the fathers and villagers in their hometown.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and there is no intention of stopping.

Zhao Gou, Gao Chong, Seed Master Dao and others dragged their seriously injured bodies, and the rest of the soldiers were also neatly dressed. Because they want to send their brothers on their last journey, with their best posture and the most solemn military uniform. The corpses of Song Jiang, Li Kui and others were all placed together and had been placed on the branches.

The generals who died on the battlefield could not be buried, and there were too many brothers who died in this war. Therefore, Zhao Gou put them all together and cremated them, and then took them back; There is a separate place among the planters to send his ashes to his hometown.

Song Jiang, Lu Junyi and others have no descendants, so all their ashes are handled by Zhao Gou. Zhao Gou walked in front, Gao Chong, Seed Master Dao, Yue Fei and others followed, everyone was all lined up together, even the soldiers were lined up, just for the final farewell.

Zhao Gou personally lit the torch, and when the flame rose, everyone was enthusiastic, and let the tears quietly slide down, they didn't cry, just kept standing and silently bid farewell to those dead brothers.

The Jin soldiers suffered stubborn resistance from the Song army led by Zhao Gou at Gubeikou and suffered heavy losses, and Wanyan Zonghan was even more seriously injured and could no longer command the army. At the same time, Wanyan Zongwang also fought with the troops of Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi and others.

The final result was also the victory of the Song army, which successfully blocked the southern invasion of the Jin soldiers. After Jin Taizong finished Yan Sheng received the battle report, the whole person was stunned, and under the persuasion of the ministers, he could only order the withdrawal of the army. Therefore, there is no crisis in the border defense of the Great Song Dynasty for the time being.

The Song army only used tens of thousands of troops to resist the army of more than 100,000 Jin soldiers, and even inflicted heavy losses on the Jin soldiers, which greatly damaged the vitality of the Jin Dynasty. Even if Wan Yansheng wanted to raise troops to invade the south again, he couldn't do anything. In addition, the granary of the Jin soldiers was also attacked and burned, and they could no longer support the army to attack the Great Song Dynasty.

The Jin Dynasty's first southern invasion of the Great Song Dynasty ended in failure, and the incident soon spread to Bianjing.

At this time, Song Qinzong Zhao Huan was restless, in a cold sweat, just because the news of Zhao Gou's victory spread all over the world, but he, the emperor, actually ignored the life and death of the soldiers in front of him and did nothing, such behavior has made the people of the world complain.

Whether it was the people of Bianjing City or the people of other states and counties, they all scolded Song Qinzong, and the people of Yanyun Land were even more openly opposed, and even scholars began to write books to condemn Zhao Huan's guilt, which made Zhao Huan very worried.

Zhao Huan knew in his heart that the crisis in the land of Yanyun was resolved, so Zhao Gou would definitely go back to Beijing to settle accounts with him. If it was in the past, Zhao Gou would still take into account brotherly feelings. At this moment, Zhao Gou has no longer cares, which makes Zhao Huan very panicked.

"National teacher, what should I do now?"

"Don't panic, Your Majesty!" The national teacher sneered, "King Yan is really powerful, I am afraid that such feats have never been seen since the Great Song Dynasty." It's just that he is a courtier, the emperor is the son of heaven, you are the king and he is a minister, if you dare to have any disadvantage, then it is the following offense, and it is more intentional to kill the king. ”

"Even if he defeats the army of Jin soldiers, as long as he dares to have any disrespect for the emperor, wouldn't it be more convenient to kill him with this? Besides, what excuse is better than this. If he dares to return to Beijing, then we can set up an ambush in the palace, and we can catch them all with a slight move, and then we can use this opportunity to make peace with the Jin Dynasty. ”

"Do everything according to what the national teacher says!"

Song Qinzong remembered the scene when tens of thousands of troops faced more than 100,000 people, and his heart trembled. Now he didn't pay any attention, and he had completely lost his bearings, especially when Zhao Gou returned triumphantly, even if he was not summoned by the Holy Decree, he would inevitably return to Jingxing to ask for his guilt, which made him very afraid.

Zhao Guoneng led tens of thousands of troops to resist the Jin soldiers' offensive, which made Zhao Huan completely stunned. Now he really regrets it, if he had sent reinforcements, he would not have been forced to such a point by Zhao Gou. If reinforcements were sent, Zhao Huan wouldn't need to worry at all.

"Father-in-law Huang, is my father still in that courtyard?" After the national teacher left, Zhao Huan whispered to the eunuch beside him.

"Back to the emperor, the emperor is here!"

Zhao Huan nodded, and then motioned to Gonggong Huang to lead the way, today he was going to meet his father. Because of this incident, Zhao Gou is bound to not give up. Now that he has experienced the pleasure of the emperor, how can he willingly give up the throne to others.

In his opinion, only his father can save all this. If Zhao Gou did not obey the holy decree and returned to Beijing from the front line privately, then he was looking for himself. Just in case, Zhao Huan could only prepare in advance, he was really a little scared.

"The Emperor Taishang dictated, one person does things and one person is responsible, Wu'er is already the king of a country, and he should have the posture of a king!" The eunuch who accompanied Song Huizong said respectfully, "Your Majesty, you better go back!" The Emperor Taishang has ignored the government and politics, this is the words that the Emperor Taishang asked his servants to give you. ”

Zhao Huan left unwillingly, he was rejected by Song Huizong Zhao Ji, and he didn't want to see him at all, which meant that he let him do all this by himself. Zhao Huan turned around and left dejectedly, he really didn't know what to do.

In fact, the national teacher is the most worried. Because the culprit behind this incident was directed by him, Zhao Gou will definitely investigate it. If Zhao Gou found any clues, he would inevitably die. Now that the hatred with Zhao Gou is completely over, the rest of the matter can only be arranged in advance.

Therefore, the national teacher Cizhao returned home early. As for what Zhao Huan did after that, he didn't know at all. Because he never dreamed that Zhao Gou would have such a ability, taking the enemy's head among ten thousand people, which made him even more frightened. From this situation, Zhao Gou's martial arts are not something he can resist at all. If Zhao Gou really returned to Beijing, then he would really be unable to escape death.

So, the national teacher secretly arranged everything, and set up an ambush on the way back to Beijing, and he definitely couldn't let Zhao Gou return to Beijing. If the general in front of him returns to Beijing without a holy decree, it will be a crime of rebellion, which is a good excuse, which makes him even more unscrupulous to kill Zhao Gou, even if the emperor will blame, there will be no problem.

"Lord Wang, are you really going to go back to Beijing?"

"Well, go back, you have to go back!" Zhao Gou replied categorically, "This blood debt must be repaid by Yao Yongxue, I want to seek justice for the brothers who died in the war, otherwise the brothers will die in vain, I will never agree!" ”

Everyone was silent, they all knew that this time Zhao Gou went back and dealt with the problem so simply. With his attitude of returning to Beijing, I am afraid that it will cause another shock in the imperial court. Although they are not willing to let those people call for wind and rain in the capital, they and others are fighting to the death.

However, if Zhao Gou really did that, he would bear the crime of rebellion. In addition, the murderous aura on Zhao Gou's body has not been restrained, and the hatred in his heart can also be seen. I'm afraid that after Zhao Gou returns to Beijing, it will really be a massacre.

Wu Yong frowned and said, "However, without the emperor's decree or oracle, rushing back to Beijing is the crime of rebellion." ”

"What about the rebellion? What else can they do with me? Zhao Gou said murderously, "Since he is unkind, then don't blame me for being unjust." I was fighting in front, but he was drinking and having fun in the capital, ignoring the life and death of the soldiers, ignoring the Great Song Dynasty Jiangshan Sheji, what is the use of such a person staying, he simply killed him with a knife! ”

"Lord Wang, this matter must not be hasty!" Wu Yong was frightened by Zhao Gou, and he hurriedly said: "If you really kill him, I am afraid that the Great Song Dynasty will be in chaos, and the prince will lose the support of the people, and the result of this will be spurned by the people, who else is willing to support the prince?" ”

"None of this matters, as long as you seek justice for the death of your brothers, even if I die, I will not hesitate to do it!"

The seed master admonished: "Lord Wang, what the military master said is very true! If you really did that, not to mention that the brothers died in vain, who would resist the attack of the Jin soldiers at that time? If this is the case, then why did the brothers stick to Gubeikou? ”

"That's what the old man said! Please also ask the prince to think long-term! Yue Fei and others also persuaded one after another.

"Have you forgotten their deaths?" Zhao Gou roared angrily, "If it weren't for the fact that the imperial court didn't send reinforcements, how could we choose such a strategy." Since he doesn't care about the life and death of the soldiers, let him personally go down and apologize! ”

"My brothers died in battle, and my heart is also painful!" Wu Yong sighed, "However, the brothers died in a glorious battle, for the Great Song Dynasty, for the people of the world, and they died more than Mount Tai." As a general, it is inevitable that we will die on the battlefield, and now we have to think about how to stabilize the situation, how to let the imperial court send reinforcements, if the Jin soldiers make a comeback, we will not be able to resist at all. ”

"Lord Wang, our brothers are following behind you, not for fame and fortune, but to protect the family and defend the country. Now that they are dead, they can be regarded as fulfilling their long-cherished wish. If the prince really did something rebellious at this time, what was the point of the brothers' deaths? ”

"But I'm unwilling!"

Zhao Gou shouted at the sky, his eyes were bloodshot, these days his mind was full of dead brothers, and the images of those unknown soldiers all lying in pools of blood, he had no intention of sleeping at all, his mind was full of seeking justice for them.

Originally, Zhao Huan was his eldest brother, and Zhao Gou didn't want to fight in the same room, let alone really kill him. Therefore, he repeatedly retreated, and also knew that Zhao Huan was Song Qinzong in history, and this is history that cannot be changed too much. However, his retreat actually paid such a painful price, which made Zhao Gou reflect on his behavior.

If he had known that this was the result, Zhao Gou would rather fight in the same room and seize the throne than let his brothers die in vain. Lu Junyi, Lin Chong and others are all his senior brothers, Lin Chong is the first master to teach him martial arts, and he has taught each other, Lin Chong has not had a good life over the years, and he actually died like this, which made him shameless to face them.

"Lord Wang, I have a suggestion!" Wu Yong took over the words and said word by word: "King Qin! ”

Originally, Wu Yong wanted to say 'Qingjun side', but this word was used on the rebel army, and if he did so, it would also announce that Zhao had rebelled, giving the court a better excuse to destroy, so he used the word 'King Qin', which is a bit justifiable.

"King Qin?" Everyone looked at each other, and they looked at Wu Yong in confusion.

Wu Yong continued: "'King Qin' is the only justifiable excuse, with the emperor around the villain, traitorous people, etc., can use this reason to return to Beijing, otherwise rashly entering Beijing will really commit a rebellion, I am afraid that the prince will be captured by the imperial army before he arrives in the capital." ”

Zhao Gou is a person who understands, how can he not understand what Wu Yong said. If he returned to Beijing, he would have committed a capital crime without a holy decree. If he uses this as an excuse, he can return to Beijing justifiably, and he can do what he wants, because the first person he wants to kill is the national teacher.

If he hadn't been in the way, it wouldn't have been such a painful price. It can be said that Zhao Gou's hatred for him is really hateful, and he can't wait to kill him immediately.
