Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 182 Northbound

Kang Wang and Zhao Gou have left, and a sixteen or seventeen-year-old Taoist priest has entered the Yellow Dragon Cave!

This Taoist priest has red lips and white teeth, and is extremely handsome! Or it can't be called handsome, but should be called beautiful! There are such beautiful men in the whole world, except for Liu Guangshi, I'm afraid they belong to him!

The little Taoist came to Lin Lingsu, saluted respectfully, and said, "Master, do you really want to help Emperor Jianyan? Persuade Li Yanxian?"

Lin Lingsu nodded and said, "Not bad."

The little Taoist was stunned, and said: "Master, Emperor Jianyan is cowardly and cowardly. When Jurchen invaded, he was far away from Hangzhou, so he fled to the sea! In comparison, Emperor Xuanwu is more heroic than Emperor Jianyan." There are a lot of them, he personally conquered, defeated Jurchen one after another, and took back Chang'an! Now that Emperor Xuanwu is gaining momentum, why don't you help Emperor Xuanwu, but instead help Emperor Jianyan?"

Lin Lingsu said: "Everything is determined in the sky. The two Supreme Emperors were captured by the Jurchens, and it is destined that Emperor Jianyan will become the Lord of China! Although Emperor Xuanwu performed well, it was just a flashback. After all, he can only die! We cultivators should follow the destiny, so the master decided to help Emperor Jianyan! You have always followed the master to practice Taoism and rarely travel. This time you will go to the north with me to meet Li Yanxian! Speaking of which, Li Yanxian and I also have a lot of fate, he had a serious illness when he was young, and I happened to be in the northwest at that time, so I happened to save his life! If I try to persuade him, he will definitely obey!"

After Lin Lingsu tidied up a bit, he left Huanglong Cave with his disciple Zhao Pingzhi and headed north.

Many days passed, and on May 13th, Lin Lingsu and his disciples came to Kaifeng Mansion!

Kaifeng mansion is full of desolation, dilapidated buildings everywhere, and weeds everywhere! They walked all the way and didn't see many people, but wild cats and dogs saw a lot! These wild cats and dogs survived in the deserted city, and they have become full of wildness. Grinning at them, it looks extremely terrifying! Zhao Pingzhi was a little scared, and followed Lin Lingsu closely.

"Master, where are we going?" Zhao Pingzhi said.

"Let's go see Lord Zongze!" Lin Lingsu said.

"Master Zongze actually lives here?" Zhao Pingzhi said in disbelief.

Lin Lingsu nodded, and he continued to move forward. Not long after he walked, a military camp appeared in front of him, and countless figures finally appeared here! These figures are all soldiers, all volunteers recruited by Zong Ze!

After Lin Lingsu announced his identity, those rebel soldiers immediately showed respect! Lin Lingsu has a very high status in the arena, almost the number one person in the arena today! These rebel soldiers are all reckless and from the rivers and lakes, so naturally they dare not neglect him!

Not long after, an old man greeted him personally from the barracks! This old man has gray hair, a thin face, and sunken eyes. He is the famous official Zong Ze in the early Southern Song Dynasty!

"Brother Rulin, I haven't seen you for many years, you look as good as ever!" Lin Lingsu laughed.

Ru Lin is Zong Ze's name! Lin Lingsu and Zong Ze seemed very familiar, so they called him by his name directly!

"Lin Daochang, I haven't seen you for many years! I still remember that the last time I saw you was ten years ago! In the past ten years, the world has been in turmoil, and I am very different from before! But Lin Daochang, you have not changed from ten years ago !” Zong Ze sighed.

Zongze's martial arts are exceptionally brilliant, and he is the number one official in the Central Plains! But even with this kind of martial arts, half of his originally black hair has turned white after worrying about state affairs these years, and his originally abnormally healthy body is now often sick! It's a pity that even so, he still can't solve all the state affairs!

"There seems to be something wrong with your body, I'll show you later!" Lin Lingsu sized Zongze carefully for a while, and said.

"Okay! So thank you Daoist! Daoist, please come in first!" Zong Ze laughed.

Lin Lingsu, Zong Ze and others entered the barracks. In a tent in front, Zong Ze asked people to serve wine and food to entertain Lin Lingsu!

"I heard that the Taoist chief is happy and carefree in the south of the Yangtze River. Why did he come to the north now?" Zong Ze said after a while.

"To tell you the truth, I came here on the orders of Emperor Jianyan!" Lin Lingsu said.

"Ah! Your Majesty's will? What does Your Majesty ask the Taoist priest to do?" Zong Ze was taken aback and said.

"Your Majesty asked me to go to northern Shaanxi to recruit the thirty-six rebels in northern Shaanxi! If the thirty-six rebels are recruited by your majesty, they can naturally threaten Emperor Xuanwu and even capture Guanshan!" Lin Lingsu said.

"This..." Zong Ze frowned.

"Does Rulin think there's something wrong?" Lin Lingsu said.

"Whether it is Emperor Jianyan or Emperor Xuanwu, they are all descendants of my Great Song royal family! Now the Jurchens are staring at us, and we are still fighting among ourselves. Doing so will only make the enemies quick and the relatives painful! I think recruiting thirty-six rebels Yes, but there is no need to threaten Emperor Xuanwu!" Zong Ze said.

"Brother Rulin's words are wrong! There are no two suns in the sky, and there are no two masters in the people! Now the Song Dynasty has two emperors, which caused the division of Jiangnan and Hanzhong, and the power of the world cannot be unified! In this way, The Jurchens are naturally even more arrogant! If your Majesty wants to expel the Tartars, you must first eliminate Emperor Xuanwu, and this is the so-called truth that you must first secure the interior!" Lin Lingsu said.

"Emperor Xuanwu is the eldest son of the Supreme Emperor, so he should have inherited the throne. It was only when Emperor Xuanwu was young that we had to support Emperor Jianyan! Now Emperor Jianyan wants to kill Emperor Xuanwu, I don't agree with it!" Zong Ze shook his head.

"When Kaifeng City was broken that day, I watched the sky at night in the south of the Yangtze River. Emperor Xuanwu was doomed to die at that time! Although he fled from Kaifeng later, his star was also dim, and he would fall sooner or later! On the contrary, Emperor Jianyan was an emperor. Fate, I am destined to become the emperor of the Song Dynasty! As a monk, I help Emperor Jianyan deal with Emperor Xuanwu, and I just follow the fate! Ru Lin, you must not act against the sky!" Lin Lingsu said.

"If you went to the north to recruit Li Yanxian and others a few years ago, and let them be used by Emperor Jianyan, I would definitely support you! At that time, I also felt that Emperor Xuanwu was incompetent and stupid, not enough to be the emperor of Song Dynasty! But just a few months ago, Xuanwu The emperor's personal conquest defeated the Jin army, and the army and people of the world were excited! Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, except for the two emperors Taizu and Taizong, no one can compare with this Emperor Xuanwu! I think it is very possible to expel the Tartars in the future We still have to rely on Emperor Xuanwu, do we really have to deal with him now?" Zong Ze said.

"You don't understand the destiny, so I won't tell you too much! I have the will of Emperor Jianyan in my hand, and I want you to cooperate with me! You are still a courtier of Emperor Jianyan, so you can't just disobey the order of Emperor Jianyan?" Lin Ling Su Road.

"Hey!" Zong Ze let out a long sigh.

At the moment Zongze still told all about the situation of the rebels from all walks of life in northern Shaanxi, Lin Lingsu kept these in mind!

After Zong Ze finished speaking, Lin Lingsu checked Zong Ze's body again! Zongze's body was actually caused by exhaustion. After Lin Lingsu diagnosed Zongze, he prescribed some medicines, and then advised Zongze not to worry too much about state affairs. Zongze just shook his head with a wry smile!

In the early morning of the second day, Lin Lingsu and Zhao Pingzhi's master and apprentice headed north again!

*** ***

Starting from June, the weather in the north becomes cloudy!

On June 5th, it rained heavily in northern Shaanxi!

At this moment, in a valley more than 50 miles south of Yan'an Mansion in northern Shaanxi, countless people rushed here despite the rain!

There is a bamboo house in the valley, and a middle-aged man in his thirties is standing there. This middle-aged man is not very tall, but he is very strong! He was wearing a robe, but he didn't look like a literati at all! There is no way to hide the sturdy temperament on his body!

This person is Li Yanxian, the leader of the 36th Route Rebel Army in Northern Shaanxi! This is also a famous figure in history! When the Jin soldiers invaded south, he scattered all his wealth and recruited soldiers and horses to king Qin! After Kaifeng was broken, this person returned to the northwest, and countless people in the northwest took refuge in him, and he selected strong men to form a rebel army! Afterwards, the main force of Jin Bing attacked northern Shaanxi. This man cleverly set up ambushes to defeat Jin Bing many times! Afterwards, he became very popular, and the rebels from all walks of life in northern Shaanxi respected him as their leader!

In later history, this person's influence even spread to Hedong and Henan, and many rebels in Hedong and Henan respected him as their leader! It's just that the Jurchen army invaded, and he was fighting the Jurchen head-on, not an opponent! At that time, Zhang Jun served as the Xuanfu envoy of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and ordered Qu Duan to rescue Li Yanxian, but Qu Duan only wanted to preserve his strength and did not send troops at all. Li Yanxian was killed by the golden soldiers!

Now that history has changed, Li Yanxian is still the leader of the Northwest Rebel Army, well-known all over the world!

A few days ago, he notified the leaders of the rebels from all walks of life in northern Shaanxi to come to Yan'an Mansion to discuss major issues! But today, the leaders of the rebels from all walks of life have basically arrived, only one Li Shifu is missing!

At this time, there was a loud noise from the front, and a young man of seventeen or eighteen entered the valley with dozens of subordinates. Li Yanxian hurriedly strode out to greet him, and laughed loudly: "Shi Brother Fu, you are finally here!"

This seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man looks very ordinary. If he is still in the crowd, few people will recognize him, but his identity is also very important. He is the deputy leader of the 36th Route Rebel Army in Northern Shaanxi!

"Brother, why did you ask us to come here?" said the young man named Li Shifu.

"No hurry, no hurry, let's call everyone together later and have a good discussion! Shisuke, your clothes are already wet, change into dry clothes first! Let these brothers go in and rest first, You must be very tired after coming all the way!" Li Yanxian laughed.

Li Shifu nodded, and went to change into dry clothes first, not to mention that!

When it was late at night, the rain stopped, and all the leaders of the rebel army gathered on a high ground in the valley, where they discussed major issues!

In addition to these rebel leaders, tens of thousands of rebel minions are also here, and they are all listening to what the leaders above have to say!
