Huanggang, Zhao Shuo has been here for a day, he is waiting, waiting for news from Zhang Chujiu. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

At night, when Zhao Shuo was already a little irritable, Zhang Chujiu finally returned to the camp.

Knowing that Zhang Chujiu was back, Zhao Shuo was not in a hurry. He believed that what Zhang Chujiu brought back must be good news. In addition, it was getting late now, and the army was marching at night, so Zhang Chujiu was arranged for a meal first, so he could rest first.

After Zhang Chujiu was full of wine and food, he came to Zhao Shuo's camp.

"Lord Wang, his subordinates are incompetent, and they haven't found Qinling! Please punish the prince! Zhang Chujiu said, kneeling on the ground.

Didn't find Qinling? How is this possible! Zhao Shuo was dumbfounded, everyone knew that the Qinling-Huaihe line was an important geographical dividing line, how could it not be found?

With a thick question, Zhao Shuo asked. "Didn't find Qinling? What did you find? ”

Zhang Chujiu said very distressedly. "The subordinates of the surrounding generation of mountain ranges have all been searched, including Bi Mountain, Bear's Ear Mountain, Funiu Mountain, and further away are Kunshan Mountain, Maiji Mountain, and the subordinates also inquired about Baishi Mountain, but they didn't find Qinling."

Speaking of this, Zhang Chujiu lowered his head. "The subordinates are incompetent, please punish the prince."

After Zhao Shuo heard what Zhang Chujiu said, he was stunned and laughed. These mountains all belong to the Qinling Mountains, and Zhang Chujiu doesn't seem to know about it. Could it be that there is no word Qinling in this era? Shaking his head, it doesn't matter if he has it or not, it doesn't matter to Zhao Shuo, because these mountains are enough.

"Alright, get up! The ninth day of the first month! Zhao Shuo chuckled. Not only are you without fault, but you have merit! ”

"What do you mean, Lord Wang?" Zhang Chujiu was violent, and he didn't find a place to still have merit, which is really incredible.

"It doesn't matter if you have the Qinling Mountains or not, it's enough to have these mountains." Zhao Shuo didn't bother to explain in detail, and said directly. "The nearest ones should be Bishan Mountain, Funiu Mountain and Bears Ears Mountain. How are these three mountains, and are they easy to pass? ”

Although his mind was still confused, Zhang Chujiu still replied as soon as possible. "Now that the army is in chaos, many people have fled into the mountains in order to avoid the panic, and the military horses of the imperial court are busy fighting everywhere, so it is not difficult to enter these mountains."

"That's it!" Zhao Shuo rubbed his nose. "Then early tomorrow morning, you will lead the way, and we will go over the mountain to Fuzhou."

"Lord Wang, my subordinates overheard a piece of news, and I don't know if I should say it or not." Zhang Chujiu frowned and spoke.

"What's the news?" The news that can make Zhang Chujiu so cautious, Zhao Shuo has some expectations in his heart.

"I don't know if this news is true or not, so don't take it too seriously!" Zhang Chujiu smiled bitterly, and he already regretted it a little at the moment.

Hearing Zhang Chujiu say this, Zhao Shuo's interest became even stronger. "What's the matter, hurry up, when did you become so grinding."

"Lord, me!" Zhang Chujiu gritted his teeth. "My subordinates listened to some fleeing mountain people, and said...... Fuzhou, Fuzhou fell. ”

"Fallen?" Hearing the news, Zhao Shuo was stunned. He really didn't want to believe it. And, something doesn't seem right.

"Isn't there a philosopher's army in Fuzhou? Fuzhou has fallen, what about the family? How about the folding family. Zhao Shuo asked.

"Folded family, this subordinate doesn't know." Zhang Chujiu kowtowed. "These are all hearsay from those mountain people, and the prince doesn't have to care."

Zhao Shuo frowned. "It's okay if Fuzhou is lost, if the Zhejia army is destroyed, it will be a big deal."

"I'll go and find out later." Zhang Chujiu said urgently.

Zhao Shuo shook his head slightly. "It's time to happen, it's useless to be in a hurry, you've worked hard these days, let's take a good rest first."

"Lord Wang, I ......" Zhang Chujiu could see from Zhao Shuo's face that Zhao Shuo was very concerned about this matter.

"Go down and rest!" Zhao Shuo waved his hand. When Zhang Chujiu got up and was about to leave the big tent, Zhao Shuo added. "Don't think about going to the news alone, because we have to go deep into the mountains these days, and we have to rely on you to lead the way."

Zhang Chujiu had already thought about it, and after leaving the big tent, he went out overnight to investigate the situation of the Zhejia army. Now when he heard Zhao Shuo's words, he turned around and saluted, said goodbye and left.

Early the next morning, led by Zhang Chujiu, a team of more than 100 people began to move towards the mountain.

The army continued to move forward, and in the process of marching, Zhao Shuo found Gonggong Feng.

"Lord Wang, you are looking for an old slave." Father-in-law Feng owes himself.

"Grandpa Feng, I have something I want to ask you." Zhao Shuo stared at Gonggong Feng. "It's about Fuzhou."

Hearing this, Gonggong Feng's face changed slightly. "What does the prince want to ask?"

"All the things in Fuzhou!" Zhao Shuo said in a deep voice.

"Fuzhou, alas!" Gonggong Feng sighed. "In the first year of Jingkang, the imperial court ceded the three states of Lin, Fu, Feng and Western Xia. Linzhou and Fengzhou failed to resist, and were annexed by Western Xia in the same year, and only Fuzhou, under the leadership of the Zhejia Army, has been fighting against Western Xia. ”

"I heard that Fuzhou has fallen." Zhao Shuo said.

"Hehe~" Gonggong Feng smiled bitterly, but he was not surprised, which made Zhao Shuo a little surprised.

"Does Gonggong Feng know about this?" Zhao Shuo continued.

"Lord, since the first year of Jingkang, the imperial court ceded Fuzhou to Western Xia, and it has fallen." Gonggong Feng said unhurriedly. "Now that the Jin soldiers are going south, the mountains and rivers in the northern part of the Great Song Dynasty are constantly being lost, I am afraid that Fuzhou and my Great Song Dynasty are ......."

Gonggong Feng didn't say anything more, but Zhao Shuo understood that Fuzhou at this moment should already be surrounded by Jin and Xia, and as for the Great Song Dynasty, the territory that had been ceded a long time ago was now unintentional and powerless. Even, judging from the fact that Zhao Gou gave Zhao Shuo a marriage and folded family, the imperial court also planned to use the Zhejia army in Fuzhou to let them contain the Jin army and the Xia army more, and relieve the pressure on the southern court.

"Go down, I see." Zhao Shuo exhaled a breath of turbidity.

"Lord Wang, what about us?" Gonggong Feng looked at Zhao Shuo with some concern.

"Continue to go north, if I can reach Fuzhou, I still want to go over and have a look, such a loyal team, if I can, even if there is no Fuzhou, I will bring them out." Zhao Shuo smiled and said to Feng Gong.

"They have lived in Fuzhou for generations, and it is difficult to bring them out." Gonggong Feng sighed. "If they wanted to go, with the bravery of the Zhejia army, it would be perfectly fine, but they didn't do that, but to defend the homeland where they had lived for generations, and kept resisting until now. So ......"

Gonggong Feng wanted to speak and stopped, staring at Zhao Shuo, not speaking.

"I'll think about it. You go down first. Zhao Shuo understood what Gonggong Feng meant, but he needed to study this matter carefully.

Gonggong Feng left, and Zhao Shuo fell into deep thought. (To be continued.) )
