Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

This little soldier doesn't know whose subordinate it is, and he doesn't know how long he has been hiding in the rout!

There were fleeing soldiers everywhere, and no one noticed him at all, and no one noticed that he was different!

The sword he held in his hand was a few inches longer than ordinary swords, and his whole body also gave off an elegant and unrestrained feeling! Even in the clothes of an ordinary soldier, he still looks like this!

At this moment, he jumped up violently, and pointed the sword in his hand at Zhao Chen!

However, there were still a few imperial cavalry beside Zhao Chen. These imperial cavalry already felt bad. They were about to resist when the invincible sword energy swept across them. Turned into a few pieces! No royal cavalry can block the power of this sword!

"Not good! Someone sneaked up on His Majesty!"

"Quick rescue!"

"Someone assassinated!" The rest of the cavalrymen reacted one after another, and they rushed towards the little soldier while shouting!

A cavalryman had already rushed in front of the soldier. The soldier sneered, and with a wave of the sword in his hand, the cavalryman fell to the ground. His body was severed from the waist, and the ground was sprinkled with blood!

Two more cavalry rushed from both sides, the little soldier's body flickered, and he disappeared in place! Then I saw the two cavalrymen also fell to the ground, not breathing!

This little soldier's martial arts skills were extremely strong, and those cavalrymen who rushed forward were killed by him one after another! He is getting closer and closer to Zhao Chen!

Zhao Chen also felt a little bad at the moment, he hurriedly turned his horse's head, trying to avoid the edge for the time being!

The little soldier was only three feet away from Zhao Chen...two feet...one foot...

Seeing that he was about to come to Zhao Chen's side, Zhao Chen was already ready to fight back! At this moment, an old man rushed out! The old man moved forward with a palm and blocked the soldier!

"His Majesty Xuanwu! Leave quickly!" the old man said in a deep voice.

Zhao Chen was stunned, but he didn't hesitate any longer, and galloped forward on his horse! Behind Zhao Chen, countless imperial soldiers protected Zhao Chen and moved forward together! They left here as fast as possible!

And the little soldier was fighting the old man!

Xiaobing's martial arts were exceptionally good, with sword aura flying freely, I don't know how many rout soldiers died there! And although the martial arts of the old man is not as good as this little soldier, it is not far behind!

With only a pair of fleshy palms, the old man completely blocked the sword energy!

"So it's you!" The little soldier let out a long howl suddenly, and the sword energy became even fiercer! At this moment, the old man was no longer able to resist, and the clothes on the old man were smashed like a butterfly!

The little soldier sneered and shot with his sword again. At this time, a dozen generals who were defeated suddenly rushed over to block the little soldier!

"Why do you want to help Emperor Xuanwu?" Xiao Bing snorted coldly.

"It turned out to be Taoist Priest Xiaoyaozi! I haven't seen you for many years, and the Taoist priest's martial arts skills are even better than before!" The old man was relieved and smiled under the protection of a group of defeated generals.

"Hmph! You haven't answered me yet, why do you want to help Emperor Xuanwu?" Xiao Bing said coldly.

It turned out that he was none other than Xiaoyaozi who entered Guanshan with Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Loushi that day! He looked for an opportunity to assassinate Zhao Chen! Today was the best time, but this old man ruined his event!

"Emperor Xuanwu is young and brave, and the Great Song Dynasty may depend on him in the future! That's why I helped him!" The old man thought for a moment and said.

"You are a subordinate of Emperor Jianyan, are you not afraid that Emperor Jianyan will blame you for doing this? We Han people pay attention to the word loyalty, and you also pride yourself as a loyal minister, but what you are doing now can be regarded as loyalty?" Xiaoyao The son disdainfully said.

"For the future of Song Dynasty, I have no choice but to!" The old man sighed with a complicated expression on his face.

"If this matter gets out, Emperor Jianyan will never let you off lightly!" Xiaoyaozi sneered.

"I am willing to do whatever Your Majesty wants to do with me! I am so passionate today that I did such a thing! Forget it, after today is over, I will personally plead guilty to Your Majesty, and ask Your Majesty to blame me!" the old man said. Gritting his teeth, he said.

"My lord, there is no need to be like this! We are all your confidantes, and we will never tell what happened today!" said a defeated general next to him.

"Your Excellency, don't listen to his nonsense! Emperor Xuanwu didn't come at all, so how can he rescue Emperor Xuanwu?" said another general who was defeated.

"My lord, as long as we kill him today, no one will know about it!" A general pointed at Xiaoyaozi and said.

"Needless to say! I did make a big mistake today! I will personally apologize!" the old man shook his head, his expression dejected.

He didn't know why he made such a choice today, maybe it was because he had heard about Zhao Chen's defeat of Jin Bing before, and he also faintly felt that Zhao Chen was the hope of China! Therefore, under such circumstances, he, who has always been loyal, actually helped Emperor Xuanwu! This is equivalent to betraying Emperor Jianyan!

For countless years to come, he may have to carry the burden of his heart!

Seeing that Zhao Chen had gone away, Xiaoyaozi gritted his teeth in hatred, snorted coldly, and fled away quietly, not to mention that.

*** ***

"Who was the one who saved me just now?" Zhao Chen asked under the protection of soldiers from the imperial camp.

"Your Majesty, that man is Zong Ze!" Kang An said.

Kang An was Zhe Keqiu's confidant back then, and he also went to Kaifeng with Zhe Keqiu, and he once met Zong Ze!

"Zong Ze, it turned out to be him!" Zhao Chen froze there.

He never dreamed that Zong Ze would help him! Zong Ze is Zhao Gou's subordinate, and it was Zong Ze who almost supported Zhao Gou back then! Zhao Chen really didn't understand why Zong Ze wanted to save him?

"This person is the trusted aide of King Kang's traitor, and the last general doesn't understand why he wants to save His Majesty! Strange, strange!" Kang An also murmured.

"Very good, this person has saved my life, and I will repay him in the future! After I get the world, I will let him enjoy the glory and wealth!" Zhao Chen said.

In fact, Zhao Chen had other confusions in his heart. According to history, Zong Ze died in the second year of Jianyan! It is now the fourth year of Xuanwu, and also the fourth year of Jianyan, so Zongze has already died, why is he still alive now? But he didn't know that history had changed, because Zhao Chen was there, Zhao Gou's pressure was much less, and Zong Ze's pressure as the prefect of Kaifeng was also much less! Moreover, when Lin Lingsu went to Kaifeng last year, Lin Lingsu had already noticed that there was something wrong with Zongze's health. At that time, Lin Lingsu had given Zongze a lot of care, so Zongze's life span was much longer than in history! At least until now, Zongze's body has not failed!

"Your Majesty, there is such a powerful assassin in the enemy army! Just a few breaths ago, more than 30 soldiers from our imperial battalion fell under the hands at this moment! I think we might as well leave here and return to Wugong County !” Kang An said.

Kang An was most worried about Zhao Chen's safety, so he said immediately.

"No need! Let's continue to the east, this time we must do our best to snipe the enemy!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, take off the clothes on your body, and you will wear your clothes in the end!" Kang An said suddenly.

Although he is in the army, Zhao Chen's identity is very important, and the clothes he wears are also different from other soldiers, which is why he was recognized by the assassins! Otherwise, in the dark of night, with heavy snow all over the sky, even Xiaoyaozi might not be able to recognize Zhao Chen all at once! Although Xiaoyaozi assassinated Zhao Chen many times, he had never seen Zhao Chen's face! Only when the city of Kaifeng was broken, he had seen the appearance of the stand-in Xiao Saner, but now it has been many years since the city of Kaifeng was broken, and Zhao Chen is no longer a child! Therefore, Xiaoyaozi was able to identify Zhao Chen entirely by virtue of his clothes!

Zhao Chen nodded, and immediately took off his clothes! Kang An put on Zhao Chen's clothes!

Afterwards, Kang An ordered a soldier to take off his clothes. Zhao Chen also put on the clothes of a soldier. He even rode on the horse of an ordinary soldier! In this way, he is among thousands of troops, and it is impossible for anyone to recognize him!

They galloped all the way to the east, and then they covered and killed from east to west!

Many rout soldiers had just fled here and met the officers and soldiers of the imperial camp. Under the cover of the officers and soldiers of the imperial camp, they either died there, or the team that was just organized was in chaos again! Many people have gone towards the west again in horror, and there are broken soldiers rushing to the west, clashing with each other, trampling on each other, and the army died again!

There was still an hour before dawn, at this time Zhao Chen led 5,000 soldiers from the Imperial Battalion towards the north, and then they headed west all the way to Wugong County!

*** ***

It was already dawn, and it wasn't until this time that King Kang's army calmed down a little!

Many soldiers looked around in horror, but there was no one else around except their own army!

The fire in the barracks was also slowly extinguished, but the smell of many corpses being roasted came, and many soldiers couldn't help vomiting!

Qin Hui stood on the top of a hill, looking at the scene below, wanted to cry but had no tears!

"Gather the troops quickly and see how many people were killed or injured!" Qin Hui said.

Now Zong Ze, Zhang Jun, Wang Yan and others are going to do this!

At this moment, Liu Guangshi had already rushed over with his own Liu family army. Seeing the tragic scene here, Liu Guangshi was very happy! Now the strength of the Zhang family army and the Yi army has been damaged. Although his Liu family army was ambushed before, it is still better than them! Therefore, after this battle, the strength of his Liu family army has been "relatively improved", so Liu Guangshi is very happy!

It was not until the afternoon that the casualties in the army were counted. Last night was chaotic, so the number of soldiers who died of stampede and fire exceeded 50,000, and nearly 100,000 were slightly or seriously injured! More importantly, the morale of the army has been greatly hit! Until now, they don't know how many people attacked them last night, where the enemy came from, and when the enemy will come again!

"There are so many casualties!" Qin Hui wanted to cry after receiving the battle report!

"Master Qin, we just got some news!" Zhang Jun glanced at Zong Ze and said abruptly.

"What news?" Qin Hui asked.

"It is said that the leader of the army last night was Emperor Xuanwu! Someone wanted to assassinate Emperor Xuanwu, but Master Zongze actually rescued Emperor Xuanwu!" Zhang Jun said.

"How is this possible?" Qin Hui asked in disbelief.

"A lot of soldiers saw it at that time! The last general is definitely not lying!" Zhang Jun said.

Qin Hui stayed there, his eyes turned to Zong Ze, Zong Ze nodded slightly!

"How could this be? How could this be? Emperor Xuanwu is only a young man, how dare he lead the army himself? You must have read and heard wrong!" Qin Hui said, feeling too unbelievable.

"I will report this matter to His Majesty and ask for His Majesty's will!" Zhang Jun sneered.

"No need, I will tell His Majesty about this personally! Please punish him!" Zong Ze said flatly.

Qin Hui still couldn't believe it, and of course he would never punish Zong Ze at this moment! One thing is that Qin Hui is now only the deputy prime minister. Although the deputy prime minister has a high status, he is not much higher than Zong Ze! Zong Ze is the magistrate of Kaifeng with a very high status! In the Song Dynasty, there were only two kinds of people who served as prefects of Kaifeng. One was the crown prince. Before Song Taizong and Song Zhenzong came to the throne, they served as prefects of Kaifeng first. , Bao Zheng, etc. have successively served as the magistrate of Kaifeng! If the prince is the prefect of Kaifeng, then when the emperor goes out, the prefect of Kaifeng can handle state affairs, and the orders of the prefect of Kaifeng are equivalent to the emperor's edict! If a minister serves as the prefect of Kaifeng, he can try other court ministers, just like Bao Zheng in history, he can even try the current prime minister in the name of the prefect of Kaifeng! Now Zongze, the prefect of Kaifeng, is commanding all the rebels in the north, and his power is no small matter! Even if Qin Hui is the deputy prime minister, he doesn't have the power to punish Zongze!

Furthermore, Zongze's prestige is too high. If Zongze is punished now, I'm afraid the rebel army will be in chaos. At that time, the plan to counterattack Shanxi will completely fail!

"Emperor Xuanwu was among the enemy troops yesterday! They must not have escaped far now! Lord Qin, I am willing to lead the army to hunt and kill Emperor Xuanwu!" Zhang Jun said.

"Okay!" Qin Hui thought for a long time, then nodded.
