Chapter 300: Gangneung

The mighty fleet left the White Emperor City and went all the way down the Yangtze River.

The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River is extremely dangerous, and the scenery is also unusually beautiful.

However, today the river wind was a little strong and cold, and many of the soldiers had returned to the cabin.

Zhao Chen and Wu Jie were still standing at the bow of the boat at the moment, the river wind was blowing, and the two of them only felt comfortable, without the slightest feeling of coldness. The martial arts of the two of them are extremely high, and they have already reached the realm of cold and heat.

"When Li Bai returned to Jiangnan from the White Emperor City, he wrote a famous poem through the ages, and the white emperor was in the clouds, and the thousands of miles of Jiangling were returned in one day, and the apes on both sides of the strait could not stop crying, and the light boat had passed over the ten thousand mountains! I raised my troops to the south today, and I also wrote a poem to strengthen our army! Zhao Chen seemed very excited and said with a smile.

"Come on, get pen, ink, paper, inkstone!" Wu Jie said loudly.

Immediately, someone took pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and table, and they put these on the bow of the boat, and Zhao Chen picked up the pen and began to write.

"Thousands of miles of cars and books are mixed, how can Jiangnan be different! Raise millions of troops on the West Lake, and immediately the first peak of Wushan! Zhao Chen was writing over there, and Wu Jie was reading softly over there.

"Good poetry!" When Zhao Chen finished writing, Wu Jie praised.

Zhao Chen had a faint smile on his face.

This poem is a poem written by the Emperor of the Jin State when he finished Yan Liang's southern expedition in history, full of imperial domineering, describing his great ambition to dominate the world! Today, Zhao Chen is also going south to Jiangnan and destroying the Zhao regime in Jiangnan, although he is not Wan Yan Liang, but he has the same ambition as Wan Yan Liang, and he wrote this poem immediately.

"Come, pass on this poem and tell all the soldiers! Let the soldiers also experience my current mood! Zhao Chen said violently.

At that moment, Wu Jie immediately ordered people to do such a thing, not to mention it.

Soon after, cheers were heard from top to bottom in the army.

This time along the Yangtze River straight down to the south of the Yangtze River, from Zhao Chen to Wu Jie, from Wu Jiejie to ordinary soldiers, everyone has a sense of high spirits! It has been almost six years since Zhao Chen came to Hanzhong and Sichuanshu! In the past six years, Hanzhong Guanshan has undergone earth-shaking changes, from the civilian to the military, everyone has worked hard, and the strength of the army and the country has been doubled! Now the strength of the Zhao Chen regime has surpassed the Zhao regime and the Jurchen regime! Facing any enemy alone, Zhao Chen has the strength to destroy them head-on! It's just that the two are united, so Zhao Chen has no choice but to make a surprise plan to go down to the south of the Yangtze River from Sichuan to eliminate Zhao Gou!

For this battle, the army is full of confidence,

On the one hand, Jiangnan's troops are now weak, only Liu Guangshi's Liu Jiajun is in Jiangnan, Liu's army is vulnerable, and Liu's army has to fight against Zhong Xiang Yang Mo of Dongting Lake, on the other hand, Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan of the Jiangnan Imperial Camp have already defected to Zhao Chen, and there may be a mutiny at any time. 100,000 elite soldiers entered Jiangnan, plus Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan joined forces with the outside world, and they were definitely able to eliminate the Jiangnan regime. In order to prevent emergencies, there are other preparations in the army. Countless intelligence officers and military masters have infiltrated all over Jiangnan, preparing to assassinate Zhao Gou, even if Zhao Gou can avoid the assassination and escape from Lin'an, there are countless small-scale dozens of people and hundreds of troops on the way from Lin'an to Kaifeng and Guanshan, they are also ordered to infiltrate Jiangnan, and now it has been more than two years, and they will also assassinate Zhao Gou! Moreover, after Wu Jie's army went south to the south of the Yangtze River, he would immediately divide his troops to the north and block all the possible escape roads for Zhao Gou!

"There will be no suspense in this battle! Our strength has far surpassed Zhao Gou, and 100,000 elite soldiers are definitely not something they can resist! If Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun and the others were in Jiangnan, Zhao Gou still had a chance to escape, but now he didn't even have a chance to escape! Zhao Chen held the Seven-Star Dragon Yuan Sword tightly in his hand and said secretly.

The river wind blew, and an item fell from his body, and he leaned over to pick it up, it turned out to be an amulet.

Holding this talisman in his hand, Zhao Chen's heart had a warm feeling, this talisman was given to him by Zhiyueru when he passed through Hanzhong from Guanshan. Thinking of that fair-skinned woman with an extremely beautiful face, he always had a feeling of distress in his heart.

"Yueru, we will win this battle! Just wait for our good news! He turned to look in the direction of Hanzhong and said secretly.

It was getting dark, and he returned to the cabin to discuss the Jiangnan strategy with Wu Jie, Wu Lan and others.

Now they are discussing all kinds of possible contingencies, especially how to ensure that Zhao Gou is killed 100%. If Zhao Gou doesn't die, this battle will be considered a failure! Only when Zhao Gou died, could Zhao Chen recruit Han Shizhong, Zong Ze and others, and accept countless Han soldiers and horses in Henan and Guanshan. At that time, the Great Song Dynasty was considered unified, and from now on all the Han people were a country, a court, and a leader, and at that time the strength rose sharply, and only the Jurchens were left, and they were definitely not Han opponents.

Late at night, when it was time for them to rest, they began to rest.

******

Jiangling is a big city in the south of the Yangtze River, and it was the capital of Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, there were 34 emperors who built their capitals here.

On the 12th of February, the sky was unusually gloomy.

By noon, there was a light rain.

In the government office of the Gangneung prefect, a man in his forties, dressed in extraordinary wealth, was standing in front of the door of the government office.

There was another person standing beside him, this person was also in his forties, also dressed richly, and the temperament of the two was somewhat imaginary, both of them were the temperament of people who once held great power.

These two people are none other than Huang Qianshan, the prime minister of the Jiangnan regime, and Wang Boyan, the deputy prime minister!

Now Huang Qianshan is the prefect of Jiangling, and Wang Boyan is the prefect of Yueyang!

Such an official position is no longer trivial, but compared to before, it is really much worse. In the past, they were above 10,000 people under one person, but now they are just ordinary local officials, and their power is not the same.

"Lord Huang, do you think we still have a chance?" The light rain fell on Wang Boyan's body, and Wang Boyan said violently.

"The chances are slim." Huang Qianshan let out a long sigh and said.

"That Qin Hui is so powerful! In just two or three years, he actually replaced us as prime minister! What can he do? He just has a good relationship with the Jurchens and can contact the Jurchens! Wang Boyan said with an angry expression on his face.

"He and Yang Shi are united, this is the best move!" Huang Qianshan said.

"That Yang Shi is just a rotten Confucian, if it weren't for his great reputation, His Majesty wouldn't let him enter the court at all. I have always disdained such rotten people! Wang Boyan said coldly.

"That's why I said that Qin Hui is smart! We looked down on the rotten Confucian, but Qin Hui saw the huge energy that the rotten Confucianism possessed. Yang Shi was the head of the Confucian scholars in the world, and under his leadership, all the great Confucians in Jiangnan supported Qin Hui. In the face of such a force, even His Majesty did not dare to offend. In addition, Qin Hui also knows how to please His Majesty, so he can defeat us and become the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty. Huang Qianshan said.

"I'm really not convinced!" Wang Boyan gritted his teeth and said.

"If you don't accept it, you can't help it! It seems that we can only retire in Jiangling and Yueyang. Huang Qianshan smiled bitterly.

"Your Majesty wants to attack Guanshan, I don't know if you can defeat it?" After a while, Wang Boyan said again.

"Hit Guan Shaanxi, there is no problem! All the armies of the world are gathered in Guanshan, and the Jurchen army is about to come to Guanshan. In the face of such a large army, Emperor Xuanwu would definitely die. At that time, Guanshan will be occupied by the Jurchens, and if possible, we will get Sichuan and Shu. Huang Qianshan said.

"Well, I also think that Emperor Xuanwu is vulnerable and is by no means an opponent of His Majesty. It's just that after the battle of Guanshan is over, will the Jurchens go south to invade our Jiangnan? Wang Boyan said.

"Probably not! I still have some people in the court, and some of them have also sent envoys to the Jin country, and it is said that the Jin country is now quite in favor of the peace talks. I think that in the future, it will be the same as in the Song and Liao eras, we will pay tribute to the Jurchens every year with gold and silver, and Your Majesty will call the Jurchen emperor uncle, so that the world will be peaceful. Huang Qianshan said.

"Lord Huang, I feel a little ashamed in my heart." Wang Boyan said violently.

"Shame? As long as it is the people of the Great Song Dynasty, they will feel like this. However, this is also a helpless move. Huang Qianshan said.

They are also human beings, and they also have normal human feelings, and the state has been humiliated to such a point, how can they not feel shameful? However, they were famous traitors in history, and soon this feeling of shame was swept away, and neither of them took it to heart. This is a traitorous minister, knowing that it is wrong, and obviously feeling ashamed, but they can still pretend not to care, their cheeks are thick enough and their hearts are ruthless enough, so in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, they were able to become prime ministers and deputy ministers, but they are still inferior to Qin Hui, so they have now become magistrates in Jiangling and Yueyang.

The sky was getting overcast, and the rain was getting heavier.

Huang Qianshan was about to pull Wang Boyan back, when at this moment, more than a dozen soldiers suddenly ran towards here in the distance.

These soldiers had unusually frightened and anxious expressions on their faces, and when they saw them like this, Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan immediately stopped.

"What happened?" Huang Qianshan immediately asked.

"Lord Huang, something is wrong! The enemy army is coming! One soldier gasped and said.

"Enemy troops? What enemy troops? Huang Qianshan said in surprise.

"I don't know! Countless large ships have come down from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and last night, the Dakou ferry ahead has been conquered by them! We were defending Oguchito and rode all the way here! Horseback riding was not allowed in Gangneung City, so we ran over. The soldier said palely.

"Countless large ships? How much exactly? Huang Qianshan was taken aback and hurriedly said.

"We don't know! It was night, and we knew that it was no match for them, so we did not fight, and fled at once. The soldier said.

"Quick! Get your sailors ready to take on the enemy! Huang Qianshan said loudly.
