Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

At this moment, Liang Hongyu had returned to the foot of Taiyi Peak, and she ordered the soldiers to station here.

There are dense defenses here, and there are more than ten small passes. Since the East-West confrontation, there have been so many such passes within a radius of a thousand miles that they are everywhere.

Liang Hongyu was about to rest when the soldiers below reported Han Shizhong's arrival.

Liang Hongyu was startled, and immediately went to see Han Shizhong.

"Husband, did you arrive so fast?" Liang Hongyu said happily when she saw Han Shizhong.

"Didn't you guys already discover the Qin Emperor's treasure? Why are you still here?" Han Shizhong asked in surprise.

"It's a long story!" Liang Hongyu smiled wryly.

"Oh?" Han Shizhong had a surprised expression on his face.

"Husband, you go out for a walk with me!" Liang Hongyu said.

Han Shizhong knew that Liang Hongyu must have something on his mind, so he nodded immediately.

The two of them headed outside, gradually left the barracks, and entered the deep mountains.

"Emperor Xuanwu already knew about Emperor Qin's treasure. His army had already arrived at Mount Zhongnan. Countless people in the Jiangnan Wulin had died under the hands of Emperor Xuanwu. The abbot of Shaolin Temple, the elder Wuqing and others all died! This Emperor Qin I'm afraid the treasure won't be with us, it will eventually belong to Emperor Xuanwu!" Heavy snow fell on Liang Hongyu's body, she took a deep breath, and then said slowly.

"Didn't you fight for it?" Han Shizhong said.

"Of course I will fight for it! I led an army of 5,000 people here, and after hearing the news, I immediately headed for that mountain. But on the way, I ran into some soldiers under Emperor Xuanwu." Liang Hongyu said.

"Oh? Some soldiers and horses? How many people?" Han Shizhong said.

"Only a hundred people! I besieged more than a hundred of them with five thousand people. Do you know how many people were killed or injured?" Liang Hongyu said.

"How many people?" Han Shizhong felt something was wrong, and said immediately.

"We have more than 300 casualties!" Liang Hongyu said.

"What!" Han Shizhong was also taken aback and said in disbelief.

"You heard me right, it was three hundred people! The enemy only had a hundred people, and we besieged them with more than five thousand people, but three hundred people were killed or injured! The enemy's combat power is beyond imagination! Even the Jurchens, I'm afraid they may not be able to catch up with them!" Liang Hongyu said.

"You must have encountered some of the strongest soldiers and horses under Emperor Xuanwu, that's why they are so powerful!" Han Shizhong said.

"I thought so, too, but Jiao Wentong said it wasn't like that at all. He said that all the troops under Emperor Xuanwu were like this! On the way back, we also encountered several patrolling soldiers from the rebel army. I asked them, and they all said ours The army is not as good as Emperor Xuanwu's army! They also said that Emperor Xuanwu's army trains once a day, from morning to night every day, only rests for two or three hours a day, and spends the rest of the time training! One year, from the Spring Festival to the end of the year, they have been doing this kind of training, regardless of the wind and rain! Not only that, Emperor Xuanwu himself even trained with the soldiers of the army, eating and sleeping together! This matter is known to everyone in Guanshan, and we are from Jiangnan, so we don't know these things." Liang Hongyu said.

After hearing this, Han Shizhong suddenly felt a chill appear on his body!

He is highly skilled in martial arts, and he was the number one member of the younger generation of the Western Army back then, and he has long been invulnerable to cold and heat. But at this moment, the news deeply shocked his heart, and he couldn't help feeling chills all over his body.

"Now it seems that Emperor Xuanwu's demise of Xixia must be true! We are still doubting, but Jiao Wentong and the others have no doubts. They are sure that Xixia is not the opponent of Emperor Xuanwu at all! How could Emperor Xuanwu's troops be so powerful? ?" Liang Hongyu murmured.

Her face was extremely beautiful, and she was wearing a red dress, but at this moment, her face was full of anxiety.

Ever since she met Zhao Chen's patrolling soldiers, she has always had this expression until now.

"If his soldiers and horses were so powerful, he would have already attacked eastward and recaptured Chang'an! But he has not done so now!" Han Shizhong said.

"I was also thinking about this matter along the way. One reason is that we have a huge number of troops in Chang'an. The Jurchens also have countless troops in Hancheng and Heyang. If he attacks rashly, he will be injured too. Extremely large, he doesn't want to inflict too much damage on himself, and besides, he is not very confident in his own strength, he still doesn't know how powerful he is." Liang Hongyu said.

"He's not confident?" Han Shizhong asked, startled.

"That's right, the tiger in the jungle is cautious even when facing a wild donkey, and keeps testing before he dares to attack. The same is true for him. Now Emperor Xuanwu is like a tiger in the jungle. Be careful. But after he wiped out Xixia, he should have a certain understanding of his own strength. Not only him, but the entire Xuanwu court has a certain understanding of their strength. They used to focus on defense, and it is very likely that they From now on, we will focus on attacking. They will continue to test and determine our strength and their strength until we are eliminated. We are not their opponent at all." Liang Hongyu said.

Han Shizhong frowned and said nothing.

"Husband, where do we two go?" Liang Hongyu said sharply.

"In such troubled times, no one can help themselves! The two of us have undertaken the great favor of Emperor Jianyan, so we must never betray Emperor Jianyan! You and I will do our best! As for whether Emperor Xuanwu's army is really It is so strong, I still need to test it out! As you said, they want to test us, and we have to test them! We also need to make judgments based on the strength of both sides!" Han Shizhong said.

Liang Hongyu nodded slightly.

"No matter what, you and I will be together forever. No matter the future is good or bad, I will face it with you." Han Shizhong said.

Liang Hongyu nodded lightly, she felt an indescribable warmth. Although it was snowing, her heart was unusually warm.

After a while, Han Shizhong, Liang Hongyu and his wife stayed near Taiyi Peak. They did test Zhao Chen's army, but it was just a small-scale border conflict. In the past two years, such border conflicts abound, and no one thinks there is any problem.

The result of the test made Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu confirm a fact - Zhao Chen's army is extremely strong, far superior to their Han family army, and it is by no means inferior to the Jurchens! Moreover, the population of the Jurchen is limited, and the total force is only more than 200,000, while the number of soldiers and horses under Zhao Chen has reached more than 400,000! They haven't heard the news yet, and they don't know that another 300,000 young people from the Production and Construction Corps have entered the army. Now Zhao Chen has more than 700,000 troops in the Guanshan area.

Both the husband and wife were worried, and on November 5th, they were notified that Zongze had important matters to discuss, and the husband and wife headed towards Chang'an City again with some soldiers.

*** ***

The climate of Guanshan in ancient times was cold, almost comparable to that of Northeast China in later generations.

There is snow everywhere on the road, and there is also countless snow on the top of Chang'an City.

Seeing their arrival, the gate of Chang'an City had been opened, and they headed straight for the City Lord's Mansion of Chang'an City.

The City Lord's Mansion in Chang'an City is also relatively dilapidated now. After Zong Ze entered here, he didn't clean it up properly. Now there are no maids and servants here, only some soldiers of the rebel army are here.

The cold wind was howling outside, and the city lord's mansion was burning with a stove, which was unusually warm.

When Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu arrived, Zong Ze, Wang Yan, Zhang Jun, Jiao Wentong and others had already arrived, and they were drinking together around the stove.

"General Han and General Liang are here, please take a seat!" Seeing Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu coming, Zong Ze and the others stood up together, Zong Ze smiled.

Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu took off their cotton coats, and then sat down. At that moment, several rebels brought wine to Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu.

Han Shizhong frowned. Alcohol was never allowed in the Han family army, but thinking that this was the kindness of Zong Ze and others, he smiled and drank with these people.

"It's getting late, it's already noon! Why don't we have dinner and talk about things together, I've already made the meal ready!" Zong Ze said.

"Everything depends on the boss!" Han Shizhong and others said one after another.

Zong Ze smiled slightly, and immediately ordered people to serve food, wine and meat, and everyone sat together to feast on it.

"A few days ago, the old man received His Majesty's decree. Your Majesty asked me to be ready to go west at any time." After a while, Zongze said slowly.

"Ah! Going west now? Emperor Xuanwu's army is extremely strong and there are a lot of troops. If we go west, we may not be able to win!" Han Shizhong said in surprise.

"General Han is really worrying too much! Although their soldiers and horses are strong, we are not inferior to them! Just a few days ago, Lord Zongze just called for all the rebels in Henan to go north! The number of rebels in Henan is close to one million. When attacking Tongguan and Chang'an, we won the victory in Tongguan and Chang'an. We didn't use so many soldiers and horses! In addition, Liu Ze, the leader of the rebel army in Hebei, also decided to take refuge in Emperor Jianyan. He will also lead 300,000 Hebei rebel troops to the south! Also, Liu Yu from Shandong has already agreed to take refuge with His Majesty!" Zhang Jun gulped down his spirits, his face flushed, and he laughed.

"Liu Yu?" Han Shizhong couldn't help frowning.

That's all for Liu Ze mentioned earlier, this person is the leader of the rebel army in Hebei, and he is quite famous! The golden soldiers have occupied the Central Plains these years, but the people in the Central Plains are rebelling one after another, and so is Hebei! Of course, the strength of the Hebei Rebel Army is much worse than that of the Hedong Rebel Army, and it cannot be compared at all! In recent years, the Hebei Rebels have also fought in small ways, and have not had a large-scale attack.

But that Liu Yu was no small matter. This Liu Yu was originally a minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, the prefect of Jinan! When Jin Bing went south, Guan Sheng, the guard of Jinan, fought against Jin Bing with outstanding martial arts, but Liu Yu killed Guan Sheng, and then opened the city gate and surrendered Jin Bing! Historically, Liu Yu was canonized by the Kingdom of Jin as the "Great Qi" Emperor, and he was called "Pseudo-Qi" in official history. As a puppet emperor, he first established the capital of Daming Mansion, and then Kaifeng, and ruled Shandong, Shandong and Henan. . Later, he was deposed by the Kingdom of Jin and became King of Shu, and later named King Cao. He is like Wang Jingwei in the era of the Japanese invasion of China. He is completely a puppet, but Jin Guo relied on him to control a large part of the "pseudo-army" and used him as a vanguard to attack the Northern Song Dynasty with the "pseudo-army". But in this era, Liu Yu had not yet been canonized by the Kingdom of Jin as the Puppet Emperor of Qi. He was now the prefect of Dongping in the Kingdom of Jin and the chief of all the horse infantry, controlling the armies outside the river.

This is a well-known traitor, and it is strange that this person actually "religed" to Emperor Jianyan.

"Why did Liu Yu seek refuge with His Majesty? Will his master Jin Guoren agree?" Liang Hongyu said coldly.

"General Liang doesn't need to worry about this!" Zhang Jun said with a haha.

These are the contacts between Qin Hui and the Kingdom of Jin, and the Kingdom of Jin returned part of the "pseudo-army" to Zhao Gou to deal with Zhao Chen together.

"Liu Yu deserves to die for his crimes. He has gathered countless bandits and generals and rebels. He is against our Great Song Dynasty. He is our mortal enemy! How can we cooperate with him?" Liang Hongyu said.

"This is His Majesty's intention. If you are dissatisfied, you can tell His Majesty!" Zhang Jun said coldly.

"Okay, stop arguing! All in all, all rebels are heading here now, and Liu Yu's 300,000 soldiers and horses will also rush here! Your Majesty means to have a big battle with Emperor Xuanwu , truly destroyed Emperor Xuanwu." Zong Ze said.

"This time our number of troops is several times that of Emperor Xuanwu! In addition, the hatred between Emperor Xuanwu and the Kingdom of Jin is also extremely deep, and the Kingdom of Jin should also mobilize troops! At that time, it will be the end of Emperor Xuanwu! This Emperor Xuanwu, I You must catch him personally, make him kneel in front of me, and then tear him into pieces!" Zhang Jun sneered.

He had an unusual hatred for Zhao Chen. Not only did he fail to capture Zhao Chen outside Xiangzhou City a few years ago, but was defeated by Yue Fei, he felt it was a great shame and humiliation at that time. Later, when they marched westward jointly with the Jurchens, they were defeated by Zhao Chen and their entire army was annihilated. He hated Zhao Chen even more. Now Zhang Jun has regarded Zhao Chen as the greatest enemy in his life, and vowed to kill Zhao Chen.
