"Xiangzhou? Why did we stop there? Zhao Chen said in surprise.

"Your Highness, I inquired about the news along the way and learned that His Royal Highness King Kang is in Xiangzhou! He is the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, responsible for gathering the world's soldiers and horses, and now the defeated troops in Hebei and Hedong have come to Xiangzhou, and the rebels in various places are also advancing towards Xiangzhou! After you go to Xiangzhou, you can identify yourself and get the support of these soldiers and horses! In addition, Lord Sozawa is also in Xiangzhou! He is quite a soldier, and he can also assist His Highness! Li Gang said.

"Zong Ze?" Zhao Chen was slightly stunned in his heart.

Zong Ze is also a famous anti-gold minister in history! In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, at the suggestion of Li Gang, Zong Ze defended the Kaifeng area and defeated the Jin soldiers repeatedly! Later, Zong Ze died of illness, and before he died, he read the word "crossing the river" in his mouth, and he did not forget to recover the Central Plains until he died! Zong Ze is famous in history, and another important reason is Yue Fei! Yue Fei was discovered and personally promoted by Zong Ze, it can be said that Zong Ze is Yue Fei's teacher!

"Lord Zong Ze is well-known in the world, and he is also loyal to the imperial court! As long as he finds Lord Zongze, he will definitely support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Li Gang saw the curious light in Zhao Chen's eyes and said immediately.

"What is the position of Lord Zongze now?" Zhao Chen said.

"He is the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and he assists His Royal Highness King Kang!" Li Gang said.

"King Kang...... My ninth uncle, what kind of person is he? Zhao Chen thought for a while and said.

"His Royal Highness King Kang is quite talented and courageous, he is an outstanding person among the children of the royal family, otherwise His Majesty would not have made him the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses back then! It's just that I haven't dealt with His Royal Highness King Kang, what I said is some rumors, and I don't know exactly what kind of person he is! Li Gang said.

"King Kang...... Song Gaozong Zhao Gou...... This man is the famous emperor of peace in history! In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, Li Gang wanted to recover the Central Plains, but he didn't agree! Zong Ze wanted to recover the Central Plains, but he didn't agree! Yue Fei's Northern Expedition had already defeated the main force of the Jin soldiers, and seeing that he was about to subdue Kaifeng and hit the bank of the Yellow River, he actually called Yue Fei back...... "Zhao Chen knows that King Kang is Zhao Gou of Song Gaozong, and this person has a very bad reputation in history, because this person is bent on asking for peace, and has repeatedly lost power and humiliated the country, so he has a very good impression of Zhao Gou.

"Your Highness, is there anything wrong?" Li Gang saw Zhao Chen pondering, and couldn't help but ask strangely.

"Nothing...... This ninth uncle, I used to see him back then...... I don't have a good impression of him! Zhao Chen was telling a lie at the moment.

"Huh?" Li Gang was stunned for a moment and said, "Why doesn't His Highness have a good impression of King Kang." ”

"I can't tell! I feel that this person's personality is a little soft, but I am afraid that he will not fight against Jin Bing with his heart! Zhao Chen said.

"This ...... I'm afraid I can't, right? If he has a soft personality, how can His Majesty appoint him as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses? I feel that he is a person with a strong personality, and His Highness is young, so maybe there are times when he is wrong! In any case, if we want to rejuvenate the Great Song Dynasty, we still have to rely on His Royal Highness King Kang now! Because, now he has the most soldiers and horses under his command! Li Gang said.

Zhao Chen nodded, but he always felt that something was wrong!

This night they rested in the cave, Li Gang was already asleep, but Zhao Chen was turning and turning, unable to sleep.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Chen got up and came to the outside of the cave. Now is the coldest time of the year, the cold wind is howling, Zhao Chen let the cold wind blow on his body, so that he can be more sober.

"Why did Yue Fei win the Northern Expedition, but Zhao Gou wanted to call Yue Fei back? And one order was not enough, he even gave twelve orders in a row...... What is it for? For what? He was afraid that Yue Fei would recover the Central Plains? However, what harm did Yue Fei do to him to recover the Central Plains? Zhao Chen said secretly.

Since coming to this era, Zhao Chen has experienced countless dangers, so he is very vigilant in his heart! When he talked to Li Gang before, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he kept thinking about this issue.

"Yue Fei's Man Jianghong said, 'Jing Kang is ashamed, it is still snowing, the courtiers hate, when will it be destroyed', Jing Kang is ashamed, Jing Kang is ashamed...... Yue Fei's biggest wish in life was to welcome back the Second Emperor...... I understand! I understand! Zhao Chen stood in the cold wind, and his face suddenly turned pale!

Zhao Gou is not afraid of Yue Fei recovering the Central Plains! Yue Fei's recovery of the Central Plains is only good for him, there is no harm to him, at that time, Zhao Gou will be the master of Zhongxing, and his fame will shock the world, and he will leave a peerless reputation in the history books!

What Zhao Gou was afraid of was that Yue Fei would welcome back the Second Emperor after recovering the Central Plains! Song Huizong is his father, Song Qinzong is his brother, these two are back, how should he deal with himself? His throne was originally unjustifiable, but now that the justifiable emperor and the Emperor Taishang have returned, he will definitely hand over his throne! What he is afraid of is losing the throne and losing power!

"So that's the case, Zhao Gou is afraid of welcoming back the Second Emperor, so he would rather not let Yue Fei recover the Central Plains! In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, there were many famous ministers and famous generals, Li Gang, Zong Ze, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, etc., these are all well-known figures in history, with so many famous ministers and famous generals, and Jin Bing has been repeatedly defeated by the Song army, Jin Wushu has been defeated by Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Wu Jue, Wu Ling, etc., but the Southern Song Dynasty court has never been able to recover the Central Plains...... Every time there is a critical moment, Zhao Gou will sue for peace, and Zhao Gou will let the generals retreat...... Just because Zhao Gou didn't want to recover the Central Plains, he was afraid that those famous ministers and generals would welcome the second emperor back......"

"He attaches so much importance to the throne and power...... Now that his father and Emperor Taishang have been captured, if history remains unchanged, he will become the emperor...... However, now that history has changed, my crown prince has survived, and if he wants to become emperor, he must first kill me, the crown prince! Not good! ”

Zhao Chen finally understood where the "inappropriateness" was, he stood there, feeling a little chill in his body!

"I can't go to Sangshu! If you go to Xiangzhou, I'm afraid it's a dead end! Zhao Chen said secretly.

He looked at the sky above him, it was dark now, and the sky made him feel unusually oppressive! Since coming to this era, the crisis never seems to have left him!

Li Gang is now taking him all the way to Xiangzhou, Li Gang thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could rely on King Kang, Zong Ze and others to rejuvenate the Great Song Dynasty, but Zhao Chen knew that this would not work at all! King Kang just wants to be the emperor, King Kang will not tolerate a young prince competing with him, and if he goes to Xiangzhou, there is only a dead end!

"I want to think about how to persuade Li Gang!" Zhao Chen said secretly.

*** ***

In the early morning of the second day, Li Gang woke up, and the two continued to rush north.

Along the way, Zhao Chen wanted to dissuade Li Gang, but he didn't come up with a legitimate reason after thinking about it for a long time! He can't say that Zhao Gou wants to be the emperor, so he doesn't allow him, the crown prince, to survive! Now that Zhao Gou's bad deeds are not obvious, even if he says it, Li Gang will not believe it!

Zhao Chen became more and more anxious in his heart, and he couldn't help but want to escape from here alone!

Along the way, more and more people gradually appeared!

In the afternoon, a big city appeared in front of them, it was Xiangzhou City! People come and go here, and there is a prosperous scene in troubled times! Moreover, many of them here are soldiers, including the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty, the Western Army, and the Qinwang Army from all walks of life!

Although the Jin soldiers went all the way south to Kaifeng City, they spent most of the time marching in a hurry along the way! They nominally occupied Hebei, Hedong, and Henan, but in fact they only conquered some of the cities, many of which are still occupied by the Han Chinese, and Xiangzhou City is one of them! Now Xiangzhou City has become the most important city in the north, because Zhao Gou, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, is here, and all kinds of armies are also gathering here!

"No, I can't go to Xiangzhou City!" Looking at Xiangzhou City in the distance, Zhao Chen only felt a huge crisis, and he said secretly.

If Li Gang must go to Xiangzhou City, he will leave now!

"Your Highness, you wait here for a while, I'll go and inquire about the situation in Xiangzhou City first! Although King Kang and Zong Ze are famous in the world, we have never dealt with them, and if we want to take over the world's army from their hands, we must understand their temperament and the situation in Xiangzhou City! Li Gang said.

"Good!" Zhao Chen nodded.

Since Li Gang has no intention of entering Xiangzhou City for the time being, Zhao Chen will not leave for the time being. He stood at the edge of the city, looking at the Han people who walked out, and had an unusually cordial feeling! For more than a month, they traveled all the way, and most of what they saw every day was a desolate scene, occasionally passing by villages, which were littered with dead bodies, and now they finally saw so many Han people alive!

"King Kang Zhao Gou, he has so many armies under his command...... If you go to Kaifeng, you may not be able to rescue your father and the emperor...... But in history, I have never heard of King Kang Zhao Gou going to Kaifeng! Perhaps, his father and the emperor were captured, and he was the happiest in his heart! Zhao Chen said secretly.

At this time, there was a commotion at the gate of Xiangzhou City, and a team of cavalry came out from there! These cavalrymen are all silver helmets and silver armor, they look unusually powerful and beautiful, and the leader is a young general, and the young general is unusually handsome! Zhao Chen saw this young general from afar, only to feel that his eyes lit up, and a word "Zhao Yun" suddenly surged out of his heart! If this young general plays the handsome young general Zhao Yun in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is most appropriate!

"Who is such a handsome man in the world?" Zhao Chen was curious in his heart and said secretly.

At this moment, the discussion next to him came faintly, Zhao Chen heard "Liu Guangshi", "General Liu" and so on, he was stunned in his heart, thinking that this was Liu Guangshi, a famous Zhongxing general in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty!

Liu Guangshi is a son of a family of generals in the Western Army, and his father Liu Yanqing was the second person in the Western Army back then, second only to the Seed Master! Liu Jiajun is also a strong army second only to the Seed Army in the Western Army! It's a pity that both Liu Yanqing and Liu Guangshi are greedy for life and afraid of death, in history, the Song army united with the Jin to attack Liao, Liu Yanqing served as the commander, and was defeated by the Liao army, and Liu Guangshi was also demoted! But soon, the Jin soldiers invaded, Liu Guangshi did not go to Kaifeng Qinwang, but went to Xiangzhou City to follow King Kang Zhao Gou, Liu Guangshi said to his subordinates, "The merit is greater than the protection", he is the first general to follow Zhao Gou in history! After Zhao Gou succeeded to the throne, he continued to reward Liu Guangshi, Liu Guangshi was the first famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty to be envoyed to the festival, and he was the first of the seven kings later, and his ranking surpassed Yue Fei and Han Shizhong!

However, this person does not have much military exploits, this person mainly relies on several generals under his command to fight, among which the number one is Wang De, but Wang De has now been subdued by Zhao Chen!

"It turns out that Liu Guangshi is so handsome!" Zhao Chen said secretly in his heart.

Liu Guangshi came out with the cavalry and glanced around from a distance, his face full of pride! Although there are many soldiers and horses in Xiangzhou City now, most of them are routed soldiers, and some of them are rebels composed of peasants! Liu Guangshi looked down on these defeated soldiers and rebels, but this time he came to Xiangzhou City with the Liu family army without the slightest loss, and his strength was far superior to these defeated soldiers and rebels! Now King Kang Zhao Gou also attaches great importance to him, and has also named him the "Deputy Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses", but his deputy marshal is not canonized by the emperor, so his name is not right!

"Kaifeng City was besieged, Your Majesty and Emperor Taishang were captured, and now only His Royal Highness King Kang has escaped from the siege! In the future, His Royal Highness King Kang will inevitably be called the emperor, I will be the first to follow His Royal Highness, and I will be greatly rewarded after His Royal Highness succeeds to the throne, and a festival is indispensable! It's just rumored that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince escaped from Kaifeng City, if that's the case, it's not good! The crown prince succeeded to the throne, but I didn't do anything good! Liu Guangshi rode forward and said secretly.

Suddenly, Liu Guangshi caught a glimpse of a young man in the distance, and there was a puzzled expression in his eyes, feeling that this young man was somewhat familiar! But soon, he rode away.
