Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

It was raining heavily, but Qu Duan and the others did not stop at Dasan Pass. Early the next morning, they braved the rain and continued on their way! Zhao Chen will soon ascend the throne, they must rush to Hanzhong as soon as possible!

Along the way, Wang Shu never mentioned his top, middle and bottom strategies, and naturally Qu Duan would not mention them either!

In fact, Qu Duan was also thinking about this matter in his heart! He thought about it all the way, and when he was about to arrive in Hanzhong, he made a decision! He decided to follow Wang Shu's "bad policy" to seek refuge with His Highness the Crown Prince and obtain military rations from His Highness the Crown Prince to ensure that his Jingyuan army would not have any worries!

As for the disputes and conflicts between the prince and Zhe Keqiu, he will never participate!

After making a decision in his heart, Qu Duan slowly relaxed! In fact, ever since he left Jingyuan, he has been restless, and all the restlessness has disappeared until now! Qu Duan talked and laughed again!

On the first day of July, Qu Duan and his party finally came to Hanzhong!

It was still raining heavily at this moment, and everyone's bodies were covered with mud and water!

"It's been raining for so many days, why doesn't it stop? It's really embarrassing to break into Hanzhong City covered in mud and water!" Qu Duan laughed loudly!

"What's so embarrassing about this? We are soldiers. It's nothing to be dirty on a long march!" Wang Shu said.

The two were talking, when suddenly a soldier in front said: "General, look quickly, there are people ahead!"

Qu Duan and Wang Shu were taken aback for a moment, they looked forward, and saw a group of people standing at the gate of Hanzhong City, and those people were also looking at this side!

"It's a discount!" Qu Duan was taken aback, and immediately said.

"Zhe Keqiu!" Wang Shu was also taken aback, he didn't expect Zhe Keqiu to brave the rain and wait here for Qu Duan's arrival!

In fact, when Qu Duan, Wang Shu and others passed by Dashan Pass, the guard of Dashan Pass had already sent someone to inform Zhe Keqiu, so Zhe Keqiu had already got the news in advance! He expected Qu Duan and others to arrive today, so he waited here!

In the heavy rain, Wang Shu's eyes showed a thoughtful expression. In his opinion, Zhe Keqiu was willing to brave the rain to wait for Qu Duan, which was considered a bit of scheming, and had some merits! Zhe Keqiu's credit for snatching Wu Jie before was probably because Wu Jie was too weak, so Zhe Keqiu looked down on Wu Jie and didn't bother to recruit Wu Jie!

They were talking here, but Zhe Keqiu had already led people towards this side! Fortunately, they didn't have umbrellas or rain gear, so they let the heavy rain fall on them! I'm afraid that when they rushed to Qu Duan and the others, their whole bodies would be soaked! He did so with great sincerity!

"Go, let's go too!" Qu Duan said!

At the moment, Qu Duan and his party also moved forward to meet them!

"General Qu, long time no see!" From a distance, a voice that could be expected has already been heard! It can be said that his internal strength is profound, but his voice can be heard clearly!

"Haha, Old General Zhe, we haven't seen each other for a long time!" Qu Duan laughed loudly.

The two have come together at this moment, and they are all smiling! Speaking of which, the two of them are old acquaintances. When Xixia invaded the Northwest, the two once fought together under the command of Zhong Shidao! But at that time, Qu Duan was only a partial general, and there was still too much difference between his status and what he could seek! But now, Qu Duan, as the envoy of the Jingyuan Road, a commander-in-chief, his status is by no means negligible!

"This rain is really heavy! General Qu, quickly follow me to the house!" Zhe Keqiu wiped the rain off his face and said.

"Okay!" Qu Duan nodded!

Now Zhe Keqiu took Qu Duan and his party into Hanzhong City, because of the heavy rain, there were not many people on the streets of Hanzhong City, and they arrived at Zhe Keqiu's home a quarter of an hour later!

After arriving here, the servants of Zhefu had already prepared hot water, and Qu Duan, Wang Shu and others first washed up here! Then Zhe Keqiu prepared another feast, and after Qu Duan, Wang Shu and the others feasted, Zhe Keqiu invited Qu Duan, Wang Shu and others to a quiet house!

*** ***

"General Qu, you and I haven't seen each other for ten years, right?" Zhe Keqiu looked at Qu Duan and smiled.

"That's right, ten years and three months! I remember that when the Xixia people went south and broke through the Yan'an Mansion, I was ordered to rescue the Yan'an Mansion. At that time, I happened to meet General Zhe Lao!" Qu Duan said.

"I haven't seen it in ten years. General Qu's demeanor is even better than before! Back then, General Qu had only a few thousand soldiers and horses, but he was just a partial general. Now General Qu has 100,000 troops in his hands. Barriers, the pillars of the country! Even Zhemou has to sigh that the younger generation is awesome!" Zhe Keqiu laughed.

"Qu is a late student, how dare he stand shoulder to shoulder with General Zhe?" Qu Duan laughed.

"His Royal Highness is about to ascend the throne, and General Qu has come from afar to help His Royal Highness. I will thank General Qu on behalf of His Royal Highness!" Zhe Keqiu said.

"As a subject, this is what you should do!" Qu Duan said.

"His Royal Highness is about to ascend the throne, but King Kang has also ascended the throne in Shangqiu! General Qu, what do you think of this matter?" Zhe Keqiu asked.

"His Royal Highness is the heir of the Great Song Dynasty. The country is orthodox, so it is natural to inherit the throne! King Kang is a traitor, guilty of treason and immorality! In my lifetime, I will definitely help His Royal Highness kill this traitor!" Qu Duan said.

He had already made up his mind along the way, to follow Wang Shu's "bad policy" and seek refuge with the crown prince Zhao Chen! So he said this without hesitation now! Of course, he is not relying on the prince, but on the power of the prince! Inside the prince, whether it is Zhe Keqiu who wants to coerce the emperor to make the princes, or Zhe Keqiu just wants to be a loyal minister, he doesn't care! He only hoped that after taking refuge with the prince, he could get the military rations he wanted, stay in Jingyuan forever, and keep his 100,000 troops! That is, he does not have any political ambitions! He just wants to preserve his strength!

"General Qu is so loyal to His Royal Highness, after His Royal Highness ascends the throne, he will never forget General Qu's meritorious deeds!" Zhe Keqiu said.

"This is the duty of a courtier, so it's not a credit!" Qu Duan said.

The two chatted for a while, Zhe Keqiu confirmed that Qu Duan would not seek refuge with King Kang, he was relieved first! If Qu Duan joins Kang Wang, or Qu Duan Shou Shu Duan, Zhe Keqiu will face tremendous pressure! Zhe Keqiu originally had an army of 150,000, but after the Jurchens invaded the south, he fought with the Jurchens and his strength was damaged. Now he has only 100,000 troops left under his command, and Zhe Yanzhi also brought 20,000 troops when he went to Sichuan. The army has passed, so all he can use now is 80,000 troops! But Qu Duan also has an army of 100,000, and Qu Duan's Jingyuan army is a well-known strong army in the Western Army, far superior to his Zhejia army! Therefore, Qu Duan is a huge threat to Zhe Keqiu!

However, Qu Duan is not only his threat, but it can also be his help! If he can win over Qu Duan and let him use him, then his strength will increase again! Qu Duan is both civil and military, a rare talent, and Qu Duan has a 100,000 army, so he will never let Qu Duan go!

In fact, before Qu Duan's arrival, Zhe Keqiu was already thinking about this question, he already had a plan to attract Qu Duan!

At that moment, Zhe Keqiu asked: "General Qu, I heard that you have a son who is eighteen years old and not yet married, but is that so?"

Qu Duan was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Not bad!"

Zhe Keqiu smiled slightly, and said: "What a coincidence! The little girl is sixteen years old this year, and has reached the age of marriage! I don't think it's better than this, you and I will be in-laws!"

ah!

Qu Duan stayed there all of a sudden!

He never imagined that when he came to Hanzhong City just now, Zhe Keqiu would come up with such an idea!

Wang Shu next to him was also slightly taken aback, he never thought that Zhe Keqiu would use such a method to attract Qu Duan!

Although Qu Duan has no political ambitions and no big ambitions, it does not mean that he is a fool! He is both civil and military, and he is extremely intelligent! In a blink of an eye, he already understood what he was thinking about. He shook his head and said, "Gouzi once said that the person he admired most was Hou Huo Qubing, the champion of the early Han Dynasty. He said he wanted to learn from Huo Qubing. Why is a family! Right now he doesn't have an inch of merit, I'm afraid he won't want to let him start a family! I'll let it go if you lose the general!"

A disappointed expression appeared on Zhe Keqiu's face, and said: "Forget it for now! If Mr. Qu's family changes his mind, General Qu can come to Zhe's family to propose marriage at any time!"

Qu Duan nodded and said with a smile: "Naturally! I have admired Miss Zhejia's name for a long time!"

He didn't intend to flatter Zhe Keqiu, he had indeed heard of Zhe Keqiu's daughter's name before! Not only him, Wang Shu and others beside him also admire Zhe Keqiu's daughter's name for a long time!

Zhe Keqiu got a daughter at the age of forty, and that daughter was born extremely beautiful. At the age of 14, the reputation of Miss Zhefu had spread throughout the Northwest, and even became the number one beauty in the Northwest by good people! In the past two years, countless aristocratic families in Northwest China have come to Zhefu to propose marriage, but Zheke wanted to cherish his daughter and never married her! Now Zhe Keqiu chose Qu Duan, but Qu Duan refused!

On the contrary, Qu Duan's young master is unknown and has no ability to inherit his father's talent at all. Although he is eighteen years old, he is only relying on his father's shadow to hang out in the army! Speaking of which, the son of Qu Duan is not good enough for the young lady of Zhefu!

"General Zhe, I don't know when I can meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" The two talked for a while, Zhe Ke asked.

"The general has traveled hard all the way, why not take a good rest for a day first! I will take the general to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tomorrow!" Zhe Keqiu said.

"Okay!" Qu Duan nodded.

At the moment of folding, you can ask someone to take Qu Duan to the post station to rest, not to mention that.
