Wuguo City, Dude Hou Mansion, said to be the Hou Mansion, no matter from which angle, it is just a slightly larger house than ordinary people, the wood door is ajar, and a lantern at the door is shaking in the cold wind, which makes people worry that the faint candle flame will be extinguished at any time. After all, it was sub-zero cold, and if it weren't for the thick leather robe on his body, no one would be able to stand outside the house in such a ghost weather.

The two guards at the door couldn't help but smack their lips and stomped their feet desperately, this place is nominally the Hou Mansion, but in fact it is a prison, and there is no benefit. The Hou of Dude is Zhao Huan of Song Qinzong, Jin Guo gave Zhao Huan a face for his own face; such a Hou Mansion, the treatment can be imagined, but he is worried that someone will come to rescue Zhao Huan, Wu Qimai has repeatedly warned that the festival is muddy, day and night, Zhao Huan can walk around inside and outside the city, but there can be no shortage of people around him for a moment.

There were a few dog barks in the distance, followed by the sound of horses' hooves stepping on the ice and snow, a carriage under the escort of twenty horsemen, drove out of the darkness, slowly drove to the gate of the Hou Mansion and stopped; ”

Yang Pu asked, "Is Dudehou okay?"

"Okay, I drank some wine in the evening, and I was chatting with that Concubine Lu. The guard hurriedly replied, after Zhao Huan's queen Zhu Lian was humiliated and threw herself into the water and died, Zhao Huan's company was replaced by Concubine Lu; Yang Pu nodded and said, "I'll talk to the Hou of Dudehou about something, and lead the way in front." ”

Yang Pu looked down on Zhao Huan in his heart, and even saved the etiquette of the report, so he followed a guard and walked directly to the backyard; several of Zhao Huan's entourage heard the movement and ran out of their respective houses, seeing that it was Yang Pu, and shrunk their heads one by one to hide back. Zhao Huan's room was lit by candlelight, and the figures of the two sitting opposite each other were reflected on the window paper, the guard directly pushed open the door, and Yang Pu went in with a cold air, which frightened Zhao Huan and Concubine Lu to jump up all of a sudden.

The inside of the room is actually not warmer than the outside, there are two dishes and a pot of wine on a simple wooden table, and there is a book of words on the table, it seems that the two were talking about poetry; ”

Yang Pu used to be the same as other magnates of the Jin Kingdom, and he was called the Song State, but today he actually said the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Huan was shocked, and hurriedly took the edict to watch; Yang Pu brought the edict of Song Huizong, blaming Zhao Huan for the fall of Hebei, saying that he should not abdicate too early, and asked Zhao Kai to accept the title of King Yun, otherwise it would be unfilial. Zhao Huan's eyes turned red when he saw it, and he roared angrily: "Why?

Yang Pu said lightly: "In less than three months, the Dingbei Army has successively descended the 12 prefectures of Xixia Henan Road, Youzhou Road, and Hengshan Road, occupying the entire Hengshan region, and gaining the land south of the Yellow River in Western Xia, leaving only Lingzhou and Xiazhou not attacked, forcing Western Xia to claim the status of ministers, and Song Xia is negotiating peace; I heard that Ling Zun has prepared to worship his ancestors and inform his ancestors of this good news. ”

Zhao Huan was stunned, every emperor of the Great Song Dynasty kept the pattern of Western Xia in mind, and Zhao Huan was no exception, according to Yang Pu, Western Xia was equivalent to losing half of the country. However, Zhao Huan grasped the flaw in Yang Pu's words and asked, "Why didn't the Dingbei Army attack Lingxia and Xia?"

"It's not worth attacking. Yang Pu showed a look of reminiscence and said: "According to Marshal Zongwang, one is to determine that the purpose of the Northern Army is in the irrigation area, and the other is to force the Western Xia to sue for peace. Because at this point, Western Xia could not give up the two places, in order to avoid another round of offensive by the Dingbei Army after the arrival of spring, it would definitely strive to reach an agreement with the Great Song Dynasty in winter to preserve its last bit of face. ”

Zhao Huan sneered: "You just watch?"

Yang Pu sighed and said: "Yang Zhi invented a balloon that flew in the sky, and then trained a group of soldiers to smash thunderbolts from a high altitude. ”

"Flying in the sky?" Zhao Huan looked at Yang Pu in disbelief, Yang Pu nodded with a wry smile and said: "How lucky the Great Song is and how lucky Zhao Kai is, Yang Zhi is now said to be imitating the Western Xia to train the Poxi Army, even if our army attacks Hedong in a big way, it will only dare to attack separately to avoid a head-on confrontation with Yang Zhi." Dull Dehou, do you want to go back to the Great Song Dynasty?"

Hearing Yang Pu's words, Zhao Huan couldn't help but be anxious: "Lord Shangshu, you know, I don't care about the title, I just want to go back to Hebei and be a common man!"

How could Yang Pu believe Zhao Huan's nonsense, and said with a smile: "The Hou of Dull Dehou has a sincere heart, and the official admires him, but everyone is full of money, if the Hou of Dudehou doesn't do something, how can the lord of the country speak to the people below?"

As soon as he heard that there was a door, he didn't care whether it was true or not, Zhao Huan opened his eyes wide and said, "My lord, what do you want me to do?"

Yang Pu looked at Zhao Huan and said: "Condemn Zhao Kai for using swords and soldiers in Taiyuan and sabotaging the Song-Jin peace talks." ”

Yang Pu's words were not deliberately problematic, after all, Zhao Huan had been the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and in the final debate between letting it go or not, even Wu Qimai couldn't make up his mind; in the end, Yan Gao set the tone, and he must finish Yan Zonghan to come back before he could hand over Zhao Huan. It's just that Zhao Huan is even more honorable than Yang Pu estimated: "It's okay, I'll write a letter to reprimand." ”

No matter how depressed Zhao Huan is, he is also Zhao Kai's brother, and he has this qualification to speak; Yang Pu thought for a moment, it would not hurt to let Zhao Huan come forward, if he could hit the arrogance of the Dingbei Army, no matter how much, it would be good, even if there was no result, it would be disgusting and disgusting Zhao Kai. Yang Pu instructed: "Since the Hou of Dudehou is so well aware of the righteousness, of course this official supports, come here, prepare a horse for the Hou of Dude, and go back to Youzhou with us." ”

Zhao Huan was overjoyed, Concubine Lu grabbed Zhao Huan and said, "The concubine and the Hou Ye go together." ”

With Zhao Huan here, Jin Ren has some scruples, at most he only dares to laugh a few points, if Zhao Huan is gone, Concubine Lu knows that her fate is to go to the laundry. Zhao Huan glanced at Yang Pu, and saw that Yang Pu's face was sinking like water, Zhao Huan immediately pushed Luffy away and walked out with his head held high; Concubine Lu still wanted to exert her strength, but was held down by a guard, and watched Yang Pu and Zhao Huan leave the room.

When he arrived at the gate, Yang Pu thought for a while and said: "Dudehou, the current situation is extremely delicate, I can only take you to Youzhou, as for whether you can stay in Youzhou, it's not for me to have the final say, it's Marshal Wanyan Zongwang who is in charge of talking to you; ”

Zhao Huan wrapped his leather robe and said, "I know, there is nothing to do right now." ”
