"Your Highness, it's dark and you can't leave the palace! There's no way we're going to find General Wang! A eunuch hesitated for a moment and said.

Only then did Zhao Chen react, it was already night, the palace gate was closed, and no one could leave the palace unless there was an imperial decree from the emperor!

"What to do? What to do? How is Wang De preparing? ”

Zhao Chen was anxious, and he kept pacing in the room! The sound of the rain outside made him even more irritable in his heart, and occasionally thunder and lightning flashed, and the room was bright, but Zhao Chen had a feeling of horror in his heart!

*** ***

In the early morning of the second day, Song Qinzong once again convened his ministers to discuss the southern invasion of the Jin soldiers.

It's just that this time, whether it is Song Qinzong or the ministers, they have a lot more anxiety in their hearts! The three northern towns were conquered, and they also felt huge pressure in their hearts!

Zhao Chen, as the crown prince, did not participate in the court meeting this time. Originally, Song Qinzong asked Zhao Chen to participate in the court meeting, in order to increase Zhao Chen's knowledge, who knew that Zhao Chen said some ridiculous words one after another, which made Song Qinzong unhappy. He was afraid that Zhao Chen would say some ridiculous things again, which would make it difficult for him and the ministers to step down, so he didn't call Zhao Chen over.

"Zhang Aiqing, didn't you say that the three towns in the north will definitely be able to block the Jin soldiers? Now in just over a month, all the three northern towns have fallen, what do you say? Song Qinzong looked at Zhang Bangchang below and said with an angry face.

"Your Majesty, I ...... I didn't expect the defenders of the three northern towns to be so incompetent! The three towns in the north are impregnable, but if the guards have a little bit of ability and a little bit of integrity, they will not fall! "Zhang Bangchang is sweating profusely! To be honest, Jin Bing's breakthrough through the three northern towns was also a little unexpected! He didn't want to think about it, Zhongshan and Hejian were also okay, Taiyuan City was trapped for more than half a year, and the Great Song Dynasty court didn't send a single soldier or give a single piece of food, how could they expect Taiyuan City to stick to it?

"Well, now is not the time to discuss sin! You all talk about it, how to deal with Jin Bing now? Song Qinzong suppressed the anger and terror in his heart, and his voice gradually stabilized.

"Your Majesty, there is still an army of teachers in Hebei! The Seed Master Dao is the first person in the Western Army, and the Seed Family Army is also the strongest army in the Western Army, and they may be able to block the Jin Soldiers! Sun Fu, the secretary of the military department, stood up and said.

"The Planter Dao...... Breeder Army! Song Qinzong nodded slightly.

The Great Song Army is divided into the Forbidden Army and the Western Army, and the Forbidden Army has limited combat power. The Western Army had confronted Western Xia for many years, and there were victories and defeats with Western Xia. There are countless factions in the Western Army, and the biggest of them is the Breeder Army!

That kind of family is a family of soldiers and generals in the northwest, and for more than 100 years, from the cultivation of Shiheng to the cultivation of the master, there have been many famous generals! The current seed master Dao was originally a strategic envoy of the Northwest and was in charge of the Western Army! In the later Ming Dynasty novels, the Water Margin also highly respected the way of the seed master, Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi and others in the Water Margin are all from the "old seed of the scriptures and the princes", and countless heroes often mention that "the old species of the scriptures are slightly more public", and this old kind of scriptures is the way of the masters! After the Jin soldiers went south for the first time, the seed master Dao was sent to Hebei as the envoy of Hebei Xuanfu, and the 100,000 seed army also went to Hebei with the seed master dao and stationed in Hebei!

Thinking of the seed master, Song Qinzong felt a little relieved in his heart.

However, at this time, there was a sudden noise at the door of the Funing Palace, as if someone was shouting something.

"What happened?" Song Qinzong hurriedly asked.

"Your Majesty, someone from the Privy Council brought the soldiers from Hebei over, saying that there is an urgent military situation, and they must report to Your Majesty and the ministers immediately!" The guard at the door ran in and said.

"Urgent military intelligence? Fast! Declare! Song Qinzong hurriedly said.

After a while, I saw an official of the Privy Council enter the Funing Hall with a few ordinary Great Song soldiers! The soldiers looked unusually embarrassed, their faces hadn't been washed for I don't know how long, they were pitch black, and their clothes were all covered in dust! All of them have wounds on their bodies, but the wounds have scabbed, and some of the wounds are on their faces, which look extremely terrifying! They looked unusually tired, and they didn't know how long it had been since they rested!

"Weichen see Your Majesty!" The officials of the Privy Council and several soldiers knelt down one after another and said in unison.

"Which army are you?" When these people knelt down and bowed nine times, Song Qinzong hurriedly asked.

"Your Majesty, we are the Western Army, the sergeant under the Master of the Seed Race!" A soldier stepped forward and said.

"It's actually a seed master?" Song Qinzong was shocked in his heart, and he faintly felt that something was wrong.

"Tell me how the Plantation Army is doing? The Jin soldiers went south, did you encounter them? Zhang Bangchang asked loudly.

"We ...... We ran into the Golden Soldiers! The soldier said.

"Oh? You really ran into Jin Bing? Did you stop the Jin Bing? Zhang Bangchang said again.

Several soldiers had hesitant and ashamed expressions on their faces, and when Song Qinzong saw their expressions, he immediately knew that it was not good!

Taking a deep breath, Song Qinzong said in a deep voice: "Have you blocked the Jin soldiers?" ”

It was still the same soldier who had spoken before, and he knelt down suddenly, crying: "Your Majesty, I deserve to die for my crimes!" The Jin soldiers are extremely fierce, and our family army is no match for them at all! Our 100,000 family army was defeated by less than 10,000 Jurchens, and almost all of them were wiped out! The adults packed up the remnants of the army and retreated all the way with the remnants! At that time, the army was chaotic, and no one knew if they could retreat to the other side of the Yellow River or return to Kaifeng! The Seed Master instructed us to bring a message to Your Majesty! ”

"What message?" Song Qinzong hurriedly said.

Said the plant...... It is said that the golden soldiers are menacing, which is very different from the last time! They are no longer testing our Great Song forces, but intending to destroy the country...... He asked your Majesty to ...... You immediately flee Kaifeng and take refuge in Chang'an! Staying here is a dead end! He said, with the military strength of my Great Song Dynasty, no army can stop the Jin soldiers! The GI cried.

"What?" Song Qinzong was stunned!

The Seed Family Army is the strongest army in the Great Song Dynasty, and the Seed Master Dao is the strongest general in the current army, and they are so vulnerable in front of the Jin soldiers? 100,000 kinds of family troops were wiped out by 10,000 gold soldiers? He had heard of the Jurchen invincible statement before, he thought it was an exaggeration, but he didn't expect it to be true!

As for what the seed master said about escaping from Kaifeng and going to Chang'an, this is almost the same as the "moving the capital" that the prince said that day! In order to prevent "stains" from being left in the history books, Song Qinzong would never do this! He was indecisive, and in his opinion, "fame" was even more important! Moreover, he didn't think that Kaifeng City couldn't stop the Jin soldiers!

"We still have the danger of the Yellow River! Yes, and the danger of the Yellow River! Relying on the danger of the Yellow River, we can stop the golden soldiers! Zhao Huan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said suddenly.

"Your Majesty is right, we still have the danger of the Yellow River! The golden soldiers are all cavalry, and if they cross the river, we can attack them halfway through, making it difficult for them to cross! Zhang Bangchang heard Song Qinzong speak, and hurriedly agreed.

"Do we still have an army available?" Zhao Huan said.

"Your Majesty, there are still more than 200,000 people in the Western Army! Especially the Fuzhou guards can ask for it, Zhe Yan Zhi father and son, their more than 100,000 Zhejia troops are now in the Tongguan area, and they can come to the south bank of the Yellow River at any time to block the Jin soldiers! Sun Fu said.

"Come, proclaim the decree at once...... Fate can be asked for Shaanxi Xuanfu envoy, Zhe Yan quality is the Yellow River defense envoy, fate can be begged, Zhe Yanzhi led 150,000 troops to garrison the Yellow River in Shaanzhou, must not let the Jin soldiers cross the river! Zhao Huan hurriedly said.

"Your Majesty, now it's hard to stop the Jin soldiers by relying only on the Fold Army! When the world is ordered to be the four kings of diligence! Shaozai Li Bangyan said.

When the Jin soldiers went south for the first time, the Song Dynasty declared a state of emergency, and Song Qinzong panicked and divided the world into four roads and 23 roads, namely Zhao Ye, the governor of the famous mansion, the governor of the west road, the governor of the south road, and the governor of the east road. These four recruiting troops were unified to be responsible to the capital governor's office established in Dengzhou, and Zhao Gou, the king of Kang, was appointed by Zhao Huan as the governor of the capital at that time, responsible for specific matters! Now Zhao Gou is still in Dengzhou, and the four realms of the world have not been withdrawn.

"Yes, give an order immediately, let the four kings of the world be diligent!" Song Qinzong hurriedly said.

After making so many decisions, Song Qinzong felt relaxed in his heart, no longer like a boulder pressing on his heart!

It was already afternoon, and the ministers dispersed one after another, and Song Qinzong remembered the crown prince Zhao Chenlai, and said, "What is the prince doing these days?" ”

"The prince has been following the forbidden army Wang De to practice martial arts! Even these days, I practice diligently! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that only by practicing martial arts can he recover the country, and if he does not learn martial arts, he is afraid that he will not even be able to protect himself. "Liu Gong, who was sent to Zhao Chen several times ago, is fair.

"This Chen'er, since his amnesia, his temperament has changed greatly, and he actually said so many ridiculous things! He is the crown prince, and in a hundred years, he will be the emperor! Does the recovery of the country still require the emperor to go into battle in person? I don't know how many guards are around him to protect him, do you still need him to practice martial arts to protect himself? Song Qinzong said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, do you want to stop the crown prince from continuing to practice martial arts?" Liu Gong is fair.

"Not really! He is practicing martial arts now, so he has something to do, so that he doesn't talk nonsense elsewhere! After a while, after Jin Bing retreats, I will find him a suitable teacher and continue to teach him to read! Song Qin Zong said.

*** ***

At this moment, Zhao Chen is with Wang De.

The rain was still falling outside, and they were all sitting in the East Palace.

I only heard Zhao Chen ask, "How are things going?" ”

Wang De said: "Your Highness, the last general did find such a child, who looks very similar to you...... But what are you going to do, Your Highness? ”

"Is there any way you can bring that kid into the palace?" Zhao Chen did not answer Wang De's question, but asked.

"Brought into the palace?" Wang De was stunned.

After a while, Wang De shook his head and said, "The last general doesn't have such skills!" ”

How tightly guarded the palace Ouchi is! Here are the real masters! It's hard for a fly to fly in, how can he bring a child into the palace?

In fact, Zhao Chen's idea is also very simple, that is, to use a child as his stand-in! When the time comes, if the Jin soldiers surround Kaifeng, Kaifeng City is broken, and the Jin soldiers let the prince out, he only needs to hand over the child! As for whether the child lived or died, he couldn't care.

"Aren't you an innate master? Isn't it possible for an innate master to bring people into the palace? Zhao Chen said.

"The palace is well defended, there are no dead ends! Even if an innate master trespasses into the palace, there is only a dead end, I am afraid that only a grandmaster-level master of the innate Great Perfection can quietly enter the palace! Wang De shook his head.

"Damn it!" Zhao Chen scolded secretly.
