Jingkang Chapter A Lonely City and Ten Thousand Mountains Section 89 Zhao Gou
The words of the little maid Zhao'er and the concubine will definitely be spread, which will lead to two consequences:
One is that Zhao Gou was sent to negotiate peace, and when he went out, he was guarded by the four saints.
One is that Zhao Gou travels, and he is escorted by a god, which is a sign of great nobility.
The latter kind of public opinion may brew unfavorable factors for him, but at present, the imperial court is eager to achieve peace and discussion, and it will not bring him any trouble for the time being, and the future development may have great benefits.
Zhao Gou, who is very thoughtful about personal interests, must have weighed all kinds of interests before deciding to let his mother and Zhao'er do this.
It is not a simple matter for such a selfish person who can plan deeply among the princes and magnates. In the historical environment at that time, a completely selfish person with clear interests and interests may be more useful than an emperor who has ruined all the interests of the country in a daze, and thinks that "I will live up to the people".
Zhao Gou and his entourage left Beijing on November 16, and at this time, Mu Han was still concentrating on attacking the Mengjin Ferry.
Zhao Gou and they crossed the river from Hejin in Jun County, and when they passed through Changyuan, they heard that the common people had heard that the Jin army had crossed the river in two ways, and the small army had crossed the river from Wei County and had gone straight to Beijing.
The common people also heard that Zhao Gou and his party were going to the Beijing Daimyo Mansion to negotiate peace with him. Out of love for the prince, they caged Zhao Gou's horse head and prevented him from moving forward.
They said: I can't help but leave Beijing and take Tokyo directly, and His Royal Highness will go down, and it will be empty. It's better to stay here and raise troops to attack the back road of the Jin people. and all the people willed to go with them.
The people's love for Zhao Gou is very obvious, and what he said is also very reasonable. Zhao Gou comforted him with kind words:
"The will of my father, I can save it, but Changyuan is not a place to use soldiers. When he left Beijing yesterday, the official family told Cizhou Zongze that there were 15,000 soldiers and set up a walled city. I immediately went to Zongzhizhou and discussed with him about raising troops. The fathers and elders raised troops here, continued to Cizhou, and listened to my allocation. β
After the common people dispersed, the officials of Changyuan also came to offer military strategies.
Zhao Gou's face sank and said: "This domain was ordered by the official family to go to Jinying to negotiate peace with the emperor, and if you don't get the decree of the court, how can you raise troops without authorization and corrupt the law of the ancestors." You're so confused! β
Then he closed the door and rebuked Wang Yundao: "He has taken the land of the two rivers himself, what is the use of you and me going?" I'm afraid that he won't be polite. β
"When His Royal Highness goes down, the second prince will greet him and receive him with courtesy. Now although the land of the two rivers is occupied by him, there are still many lonely cities, and he does not know the intention of the imperial court, and he is still resisting stubbornly. Now His Royal Highness has gone to the imperial court to make a clear decree, and with the respect of the prince, he ordered the cities to surrender, they are naturally obedient, if the two rivers are handed over safely for a while, His Royal Highness has made a great contribution to the second prince, and the second prince will look at each other with blue eyes, and there will be a lot of benefits in the future. β
"I am the younger brother of the emperor, the prince, what benefits will the second prince add to me?"
"If the peace is not successful, the jade is burned, how can there be the prince and the royal brother, if the peace is successful, the Dajin Dynasty will have a reward, and there are still those who are better than the prince and the emperor's brother, how can His Royal Highness not think twice?"
Wang Yun's words were naked, in fact, he didn't need to persuade him, what Zhao Gou considered in his heart was the honor of "surpassing the prince and the emperor's younger brother".
But he didn't want to reveal his heart to Wang Yun right away. If he is so easily seduced and seduced, it will make him underestimate himself.
His eldest brother Zhao Huan suffered this hardship and let the ministers lead the way by the nose. When he went out of the city this time, he had already made up his mind that he must revive the discipline and never repeat the mistakes of his brother. At that moment he put on a businesslike face, waved his hand and said:
"Wang Shangshu, you are the main speaker of peace, saying that it is beneficial to you and me. But he didn't know that there were great people who harmed the court and the living people of the sect. If you don't want to fight with him for the right to do so, how can you take his interests for the sake of profit? You go back to the lower place to rest, and tomorrow you will still march to Cizhou according to the original plan, how to stop, and then listen to my fate. β
The prince who was less than 20 years old already knew how to use different attitudes to deal with different objects.
But when he arrived in Cizhou, he ran into an official who he couldn't deal with. This official is Zhicizhou Zongze, who is nearly seventy years old, with a strong body like a bull and a personality as hard as a rock. As soon as he made up his mind, he dragged him back with nine oxen. Zhao Gou finally tasted him.
Zong Ze had already heard that Zhao Gou and his party were about to cross the border, so he first sent hundreds of soldiers to greet Zhao Gou on the way and escort him to the border. He himself led his civil and military officials and the elders of the city out of the city for ten miles, and sent them to the hotel for settlement.
Stop Geng Yanxi and Gao Shize's two entourages, and they must ask for a meeting.
Zhao Gou had no choice but to come out to meet him, and saw that a large number of people led by Zong Ze stepped forward to see. As soon as the salute was finished, Zhao Gou said, "This domain is out of Cizhou, and after this night, it will be done tomorrow, why should Guizhizhou be so troublesome?" β
Zong Ze replied without humility or arrogance: "If the whole army has been dispatched, under the city of Tokyo, there will be a big war every day, how can Your Highness go overnight and throw yourself into the tiger's mouth!" Zong Mou and the elders of Hecheng came to see today, in order to save His Royal Highness's drive, stationed here, establish the Shuai Mansion, raise troops to resist Jin, Zong Mou, there are 15,000 good warriors, the people are volunteers, far and near are connected, within ten days, you can raise 100,000 people, listen to His Royal Highness's command. What do you want Your Highness to do here? β
Even if his tone was tactful, his tone was still threatening, at least Zhao Gou felt like this, and he was furious in his heart, but looking around the situation, it was inconvenient for a while, so he had to answer euphemistically: He came out to make peace by order, and if he had other plans, he had to obtain the decree of the court before he could decide to stay.
"How can Your Highness deceive each other," Zong Ze said quickly, exposing his lies with one sentence, "Now that the gates of Tokyo are closed, and there is no communication between inside and outside, how can Your Highness get the decree?" It is better to raise troops from power and make great contributions to the court. Don't be mistaken by the villains! β
Yishi's words annoyed the deputy envoy Wang Yun, and he immediately added a charge to Zong Ze, "Zong Zhizhou, you dare to gather a crowd to blackmail, stop the feudal driver, and he wants to rebel?" β
"Wang Shangshu, don't you want to rebel?" Zong Ze immediately replied, "You went in and out of the captive camp, once you entered the three towns, and then sent two rivers, and now you are still waiting to send King Kang to the captives to get rich and rich, but the people of the country will not allow you." β
At this time, the people who crowded at the door of the hotel all shouted: "Wang Yun is a captive and meticulous", "Kill him to eliminate the traitor!" β
Zhao Gou saw that his head was not good, turned around, and begged softly, asking Zong Ze to protect him.
"The people are so angry with loyalty and indignation, how dare they be presumptuous to His Highness? It's just that this place is empty, and it is difficult to protect Zhou, His Royal Highness doesn't like to travel to the museum, so he will go to the state with Zong to rest tonight, and he will stop tomorrow. β
As Zong Ze spoke, he asked someone to bring a sedan chair, and insisted that Zhao Gou sit on it, lift it up and leave.
He rode his own horse, slowly following him, waving his arms, using whips and gestures to retreat the common people crowded around the hotel, and make way for the sedan horses to pass.
A group of people accompanying Zhao Gou followed them closely.
Zhao Gou sat in the sedan chair, very uncomfortable, and repeatedly turned to look at Zong Ze, he was still like a rock, his face was expressionless.
Zhao Gou couldn't help muttering in his heart: The official family wants me to go out of Cizhou to collect troops, and I don't want this Zong Ze to be so difficult to deal with if he has some soldiers in his hands. It is to no avail of deceiving him, reprimanding him, or begging him.
Let's go to the state office tonight to rest and see how he behaves tomorrow?
At this time, there was a loud noise behind the team, and the large group of people who had regathered formed a circle and intercepted and surrounded Zhao Gou's attachΓ©s.
Thousands of heads were crowded, the dust rose to the sky, and suddenly I saw strips of scarves and trousers flying in the sky, fluttering and falling to the ground.
Mixed with the angry scolding and traitorous voices of the people, it was Wang Yun's pleading and miserable screams. He howled twice, and was beaten to death by the angry people.
Zhao Gou was still about to intercede for Wang Yun, but he saw Zong Ze riding motionless on horseback, his eyes indifferent, and his words suddenly retracted into his cavity.
punishing Wang Yun finally made Zhao Gou accept a painful lesson. He temporarily gave up his plan to go to the Daimyo's Mansion to make peace and set up a plan to raise troops. The place of Cizhou is too small to be used, and Zong Ze personally escorted him to Xiangzhou, which has a large city and a large population, to organize the Marshal's Mansion.
He was stabbed in his back along the way, and he didn't even say a word to the escort.
The people of Cizhou protected Zhao Gou and relieved him of the danger of falling into the tiger's den, but Zhao Gou himself regarded Cizhou as a tiger's den and Zong Ze as a tiger who could eat people.
He was happy to be under the protection of Wang Boyan, the official of the Zhixiang Prefecture and the official in charge of the pacification department of Zhendingfu Road, to become a generalissimo who had not yet been recognized by the imperial court, when the city of Tokyo was already in danger.
After Zhao Gou became the generalissimo, officials from all walks of life came to defect one after another, and the team expanded to 100,000 people.
Zong Ze sent a small force to inquire about the news in the direction of Bianjing, and the soldiers from all walks of life led by Yue Fei won all thirteen battles. But Zhao Gou's mind was never on relieving Bianliang as soon as possible, and he delayed letting the army go.
It wasn't until he found out that the two emperors of Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan had been arrested in Jinying, and it was estimated that no one in Bianliang City could compete with him for a higher position than the prince, so Zhao Gou announced that he would set off from Xiangzhou and King Qin.
After all, the news of the investigation in the periphery is limited, and he does not know that in Bianliang City, the prince has been imprisoned and is supported by the people of Bianliang.
Zhao Gou is coming, so that Hu Yangeng has an instinctive early warning. If Zhao Gou led his troops to Bianliang City, then he would become the fisherman who "fought with the snipe and the clam and the fisherman profited", and he might even sit back and watch the Jin soldiers continue to besiege Bianliang to gain Bianliang's submission to him.
Hu Yangeng believed that in the name of the reinforcement commander, all reinforcements outside the city would be cut off, and Zhao Gou would definitely do such a thing.
Although Zhao Gou has Zong Ze by his side, how can he pin his hopes on a person who is not trusted by Zhao Gou and whose power may be deprived at any time? Zhao Gou only raised troops after the emperor was arrested, didn't he already explain Zong Ze's authority?
Therefore, he had to deal with the besieging Jin soldiers before Zhao Gou could reach the city of Bianliang.
