Chapter 50: It's time to go

Once, the Jin army adopted the method of encircling the point to send reinforcements, and the cavalry attacked everywhere and broke through each one; And there is a lack of effective communication between the various departments of the Western Army, and Li Gang can't suppress these arrogant generals of the Western Army, plus Song Qinzong is also suspicious, and he will not command the whole army to Li Gang, if there is no accident......

Even if it happens unexpectedly, it won't make a big difference.

Accidents will only be those who favor and prepare. In the face of absolute strength, all accidents are floating clouds, and the overall situation cannot be reversed.

The battle between the Song Dynasty and the Jin State has reached this moment, victory or defeat has become a foregone conclusion, and everything will not appear because of him as a butterfly, and it will change too much.

"It's time for me to go!" Zhao Pu took a deep breath, and his eyes flashed with determination.

With Taiyuan as the center, the battle to break out of the siege will soon break out. In this battle, the elite of the Western Army will be exhausted, the regular troops of the Great Song Dynasty will be completely exhausted, and in this land, the Jin Army will enter a no-man's land, and no one will be able to stop their iron cavalry.

In the next few years, the Jin army will reach its peak militarily.

If the Jin army has a proper policy, it may even win the Central Plains, realize the feat of Mongolian unification of the Central Plains ahead of schedule, and establish a large empire that extends to the South China Sea in the south and Lake Baikal in the north. It's a pity that the failure of policy has smoothed out the military superiority of the Jin army, and the lack of a stable strategy and a far-sighted politician has always been the biggest flaw of the Jin army.

This made the Jin army lose the opportunity again.

When the Jin army is strong to the limit, various internal contradictions will also appear, and the army will quickly become corrupted. Corruption once defeated the Song Dynasty, but also once again corroded the Jin State, the once powerful iron cavalry, will lose its sharp side, until the Battle of Yuncheng was beaten all over the ground, and finally destroyed by the Jin army.

Bianliang, I'm leaving!

Zhao Pu went to the palace again to see Song Qinzong, with only one purpose, that is, to leave Bianliang and leave this place of death.

Heavy ears are born outside, and Shen is born and dies inside.

"Brother Huang, I don't know what's going on?" Song Qinzong's eyes were dark, and his expression was a little sluggish, obviously the emperor's career had tormented him to the bitterness.

"Your Majesty, I want to join the army!" There was no beating around the bush, no superfluous nonsense, Zhao Pu directly stated the purpose.

"Join the army!" Song Qinzong was stunned.

In the Great Song Dynasty, the prince was not allowed to be an official, in order to prevent the prince from forming a party and private affairs, causing chaos in the government and threatening the imperial power. If the prince wants to join the army, it is almost impossible.

Zhao Pu also knew this truth, and said: "I am in the clan and cannot join the army. But now that the country is in turmoil, how can I, as the Prince of the Great Song Dynasty, stand idly by. Some time ago, I was willing to go to the Jin camp as a hostage, and now I am also willing to join the army to fight against the Jin army. Your Majesty, please! “

Song Qinzong was furious, slapped the table, and scolded: "Ridiculous, this is against the ancestral system!" ”

Without the slightest hesitation, Song Qinzong refused.

In the Great Song Dynasty, where loyalty and filial piety are the mainstay, the ancestral system is supreme, and whoever challenges the ancestral system will not end well, even if it is the emperor. The most typical is Fan Zhongyan's change, and Wang Anshi's change was opposed. One of the reasons for the official's objection, and the most important one, is against the ancestral system.

Zhao Pu was not in a hurry, but continued to persuade: "Brother Huang, let me join the army!" My requirements are also very low, I don't want to be a general, I just want to go out to see the world, just have fun, it's too boring to stay in Bianliang City, I can't do anything! ”

"No! Soldiers, the most dangerous, in case of a big war, you are in danger, how to do it! Song Qinzong still refused.

"Brother Huang, big brother. I'm just going out for a walk first, seeing the world, there will be no accidents! Zhao Pu still pleaded, and at the same time scolded the sad ancestral system in his heart.

"No, it just doesn't work!"

Zhao Pu's heart moved, and he suddenly spoke: "The emperor's eldest brother didn't let me go, it's just a matter of scruple about the ancestral system, this is easy to say." I can dress up as a small leader of the forbidden army and participate in it, so that I don't know it, I don't know it, and I won't have any baskets! ”

Song Qinzong asked: "Brother Huang, why do you want to leave Bianliang like this, is there something hidden?" ”

Zhao Pu said in his heart: Of course, there is a hidden feeling, not for anything else, just to not be a prisoner, not to be led away from Bianliang like a dog. Naturally, these can't be said, Zhao Pu changed his words and said: "The emperor's eldest brother does have a hidden secret!" ”

As he spoke, Zhao Pu's eyes flashed with hesitation, and his tone was a little gloomy: "Without the Great Song Dynasty, how can I, the Prince of the Great Song Dynasty, as the Prince of the Great Song Dynasty, have to prepare to dedicate myself to the Great Song Dynasty at a critical moment." Jin Jun proposed to send the prince to Jinying as a hostage, without a trace of hesitation, just go, the worst result is only more than 100 catties, and the explanation is there. The worst result is nothing more than being cooked. If you die, you will die, but I don't want to live as a hostage anymore, I'd rather die than be a hostage. The hostages had no human rights, and although spring had arrived, it was still cold, so I stayed alone in the camp, without charcoal fire for warmth, shivering in the cold wind; When eating, it is also cold steamed buns, and it is moldy; The most bitter thing is that I often have to be insulted by some villains......"

Zhao Pu kept complaining about his tragic experience in Jinying. Song Qinzong's expression became heavy as he listened, as if he was infected by Zhao Pu's tragic experience.

Zhao Pu said gloomily: "Living as a hostage in Jinying, I understand a truth, everyone in the world can surrender, but the royal family cannot surrender." If a civil official surrenders, he can still be an official; The generals have surrendered, and they can still be officials. Even if you mix badly, you can go home to farm and be a rich man in peace, but the children of the royal family can't. As the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, there is no way out except for the bloody battle. It was lucky to become Liu Chan, and most of them became Li Yu, where their dignity was trampled on and their wives were insulted. Now, my Great Song Dynasty has reached the moment of life and death, I want to live a stable life but can't get it, only a war, my brother is willing to join the army! “

"Brother, take care of the ancestral training. You can expel me from the genealogy and remove me from the clan, so that there is no restriction of identity, I am also free, I am willing to join the army as a civilian, not to succeed, but to be benevolent! Zhao Pu's eyes flashed with determination.

In ancient times, the concept of the most clan was the strongest, and the expulsion of the family tree and the removal of the name from the family tree were the greatest punishments, and only those who committed heinous crimes could have such punishments.

"Why are you like that?" Song Qinzong was so angry that he couldn't speak.

But Zhao Pu said calmly: "Please Your Majesty!" ”

For the ancients, genealogy was very important; But for modern people, genealogy is a hair. If you can expel the family tree, depose the prince's title, and leave Bianliang in exchange, everything is worth it.

All in all, he didn't want to stay in Bianliang anymore, and he didn't want to stay for a moment.

"You bastard!" Song Qinzong was so angry that he scolded three words.

Zhao Pu didn't respond, and his mood was extremely calm. These words are well thought out and with the worst in mind. The Song Dynasty official system was extremely developed, and the imperial historian was often looking for trouble, as long as his eyes were all staring at the emperor, as long as it was the emperor's etiquette, or the details, if there was a trace of fault, he would foam.

Throughout the Song Dynasty, there were many faint monarchs and waste emperors, but there were very few tyrants, and no matter how big the sin was, it was only exile to Hainan Island.

There are very few ministers who kill!

Zhao Pu has just sent an envoy to the Jin army camp, it can be said that he has worked hard and made great achievements, at this time Song Qinzong will definitely not kill him, as long as he is not dead, no matter how big the disaster is, it is a small disaster.

After thinking for a long time, Song Qinzong nodded, and could only agree, he was very helpless about Zhao Pu's rogue behavior.

"A promise is a promise, but you can't lead the troops, the right is to play!"

Finally, Song Qinzong advised.

Zhao Pu immediately nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

…………

When Zhao Pu left, Song Qinzong's face became gloomy, and there was no longer a trace of harmony, and a eunuch walked in.

"Little Zhuangzi, what does he mean by this? What am I going to do as a royal brother? Song Qinzong was furious, and there was some anger in his tone, this imperial brother was too presumptuous, and he actually threatened him.

"Your Majesty, the prince is just a whim!" Xiao Zhuangzi said.

"My courtier, I'm really disobedient!" Song Qinzong's face calmed down a little. The reason why the royal family could not control the army was to prevent the clan from threatening the imperial power. The emperors of all dynasties have consciously excluded the prince from the military system, and if it was in the peaceful era, if Zhao Pu had put forward this opinion, he would have been severely punished.

But now that the siege of Bianliang has just been lifted, the people in the court are panicking, who cares about this.

"Since he wants to go, let's go, follow the seed division to rescue Taiyuan, but it is forbidden to take charge of the army, just accompany him all the way!"

Song Qinzong was very helpless.

"Official, the Emperor is coming back!"

"My dad is really uneasy!"

Song Qinzong's face flashed hideous, and the unpleasant experience of the past was revived in his mind again. He is the eldest son, and he was originally the most qualified to inherit the throne, but his father favored the third brother, and if it weren't for some ministers, there would still be his throne.

The most odious thing is that at the moment of the Bianliang crisis, his father ran away and became the emperor. If you run away, you can run away, and when you run away, you will take the elite troops away, and suddenly there is an embarrassing situation in Bianliang defending the city without soldiers, so you can only temporarily use the old and weak soldiers to defend the city.

And the most hateful thing is that during the siege of Bianliang, the Emperor Taishang messed around in the southeast.
