"These damn guys, where are the soldiers of Zhao and Song, they are clearly bandits." Pioneer Wu Song looked at the disgraced Yongcheng, and some people were trembling, and couldn't help but scold: "It is said that Yue Fei and Han Shizhong are both generals who govern the army, and now it seems that it is nothing more than that." ”

"That is, if they were powerful, I'm afraid they wouldn't be like this." The deputy general beside him couldn't help but say: "Look at our hundreds of thousands of troops marching south, Zhao Gou has no power to resist at all, I heard that he is now in Yangzhou, we might as well speed up and kill Yangzhou, maybe we can capture the other party alive!" ”

"Have you eaten all the brothers?" Wu Song's eyes lit up, there was nothing more attractive than capturing Zhao Gou alive.

"The rice that Zhao Song just cooked is still relatively fragrant, and the brothers are almost eating it." The adjutant general smiled: "Hehe, it's like this every time, we're embarrassed to do it, we always bother Zhao Song's soldiers to cook for us, and we always feel that we owe something." ”

"Then after you have captured them alive, you can treat them well." Wu Song raised his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go south immediately, the king's soldiers and horses are thirty miles away from us, and the high-favored cavalry is in front, so we can't let them monopolize all the credit." Hurry south and capture Zhao Gou alive. ”

"Go south, go south, capture Zhao Gou alive." The soldiers around him raised the big cake in their hands and laughed, the military heart is available, fighting such a war not only means military merit, but more importantly, glory.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Jing led a large army to kill, and after leaving some soldiers and horses in Yongcheng, followed by Wu Song, he went to Yangzhou to kill, and after learning that Zhao Gou stayed in Yangzhou, he did not continue to go south, Li Jing was very happy. The armies marched south day and night.

Yangzhou City, Zhao Gou looked at the tall city wall in front of him, and his heart was finally a little more comfortable, the place where he lived was Zhu Mian's mansion back then, which was built very luxuriously and comfortably, so that he temporarily forgot the chasing soldiers behind him.

Huang Qianshan and others assisted left and right, planning for him, there were Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others in the army, according to the news sent by Huang Qianshan, the two had barely resisted Li Jing's attack, and also let him live in Yangzhou City with peace of mind.

"Your Majesty." A middle-aged man walked in outside, but he looked mighty and tall, looking at Zhao Gou with a relaxed face, and sighed slightly in his heart.

"Miao Qing!" Zhao Gou beckoned Miao Fu and said: "What is the situation in the army, these days with Miao Qing to accompany me, hard work, when the Yangtze River is crossed, I will not hesitate to reward." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." A smile appeared on Miao Fu's face, he thought about it, and said: "Your Majesty, although Li Jing has not caught up at the moment, Yangzhou is not a place to stay for a long time, why doesn't Your Majesty go south immediately and cross the Yangtze River?" ”

"Didn't Huang Qing say that Li Jing had stopped pursuing?" Zhao Gou hesitated: "Yangzhou City is strong, can't it resist Li Jing's army?" "Yangzhou City is prosperous, far better than Jiangnan, Zhao Gou naturally wants to stay in the prosperous place of fireworks, and is unwilling to travel long distances to Jiangnan.

Miao Fu's face was slightly angry, and he couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, Li Jing is a jackal!" How could he stop the pursuit, he would definitely continue to pursue south, although Yangzhou is good, it is definitely not a place to build a capital. Your Majesty, it's better to leave Yangzhou as soon as possible. ”

"Really?" Zhao Gou's face was stunned, and he said with some doubts: "Didn't you say that the Jin people harassed Bianjing, and Li Jing had stopped pursuing?" Zhao Gou's mind came up, if Li Jing continued to pursue south, he would definitely have to escape.

"Huang Qianshan, this person is a traitor, specializing in deceiving the king, and he should be killed." Miao Fu couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty must not believe the villain's words, hurry up and go south." Moreover, the minister thought that Li Jing was powerful and could not resist it, and it was better to seek peace, and the two families should strike a truce and rule across the river, which was the royal way. ”

"General Miao, whether you go south or stay here, your majesty is in charge, where is your turn to speak." A deep voice came from behind him, but he saw that it was Wang Yuan, a member of the Privy Council who signed the same book, and Miao Fu was at odds, and he happened to come to ask Zhao Gou to allocate money to build a warship, but he didn't expect to hear Miao Fu's words here, and he was suddenly furious, pointing at Miao Fu and saying: "What is Li Jing, thief Kou Ye, Your Majesty is the orthodox Yan and Song Dynasty, how can you negotiate peace with him?" Don't forget, my Yan Song's Zongmiao Sheji was destroyed by Li Jing. At this time, I still want to make peace with Li Jing, could it be that you have hooked up with Li Jing a long time ago? That's why you will let Your Majesty and Li Jing make peace? ”

Miao Fu's face changed greatly, and he was about to speak, but he was stopped by Zhao Gou, Zhao Gou shook his head and said: "Although Li Jing is strong, but the water network in the south of the Yangtze River is dense, and the cavalry cannot play a role, we still have the strength to fight, Miao Qing goes down, as long as the army is rectified, don't worry about other things." "Even if he is dissatisfied in his heart, Zhao Gou will not reprimand Miao Fu at this time, just because Miao Fu is in charge of the guard, Zhao Gou still has to rely on this person.

Miao Fu didn't dare to refute when he heard this, so he could only retreat, and when he left, he glared at Wang Yuan viciously, he knew that Zhao Gou definitely didn't like him at this time, and all this was caused by the words of the person in front of him.

"Your Majesty, this person is really hateful, he is cowardly and afraid, and he wants to come to bewitch the king, damn it." Wang Yuan looked at Miao Fu's back and said disdainfully. His voice was not small, and Miao Fu who walked to the door obviously heard it clearly, but Wang Yuan didn't care, he was deeply trusted by Zhao Gou, even if he offended Miao Fu?

"Forget it, Miao Qing is also kind." Zhao Gou pretended not to care, and said: "It's just that I have a deep enmity with Li Jing, how can I make peace with Li Jing, and when Qin Hui returns from the north, I am still ready to join forces with the Jin people to deal with Li Jing!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Yuan hurriedly nodded and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is here this time to ask Your Majesty to allocate money and food to prepare for the construction of warships. ”

"This little thing, Qing is in charge of himself, and he doesn't have to tell me." Zhao Gou said with relief, his voice was very calm, and it also showed his trust in Wang Yuan, but although he said it, the melancholy between his eyebrows was still difficult to eliminate.

Wang Yuan walked out of the palace, hesitated for a while, summoned a eunuch, and said, "Your Majesty's eyebrows are tightly locked, why worry in your heart?" ”

"It's just Xing Niangniang." The eunuch said in a low voice: "Xing Niangniang has a deep relationship with Your Majesty, but she is trapped in Bianjing, Your Majesty misses it in his heart, and he doesn't think about tea and dinner, hey, Lord Wang, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers around Your Majesty, can't you defeat Li Jing's rebels and recapture Xing Niangniang?" ”

Wang Yuan was silent when he heard this, he had also heard of Xing Niangniang's reputation, and her beauty was deeply favored by Zhao Gou, but now that it has fallen into the hands of Li Jing, where can he take it back, and even if it is taken back, is Xing Niangniang at that time still the original Xing Niangniang? I'm afraid it has long been occupied by Li Jing. Suddenly, he suddenly thought of something, his face showed joy, and said: "Although I can't find Xing Niangniang in a short time, this official remembers that there is a woman born in a family next to the Zhuangyuan Bridge, and her appearance is very similar to Xing Niangniang, why not ask for it?" ”
