Zhang Hao looked at the letter in his hand and his hands were trembling. The room was obviously very warm, and the brazier at the corners was burning vigorously. This could be known by just wearing a cotton robe. But at this moment, his heart felt like he had fallen into a thousand-year-old ice cave, and it was biting cold!

A simple letter, only 3200 words, is as heavy as a thousand pounds at this moment, and he can't bear it.

Because this is Zhao Gou’s handwritten letter!

He never thought that one day he would receive a letter of advice from the Prince of the Song Dynasty.

Because he had been serving the Jin people after the Taiyuan Battle, he had long believed that the Song Dynasty could not defeat the Jin soldiers, one was the decline of the rivers and the other was the rising sun. Zhang Hao made up his mind to live with the Jin people.

The two armies of Nianhan and Olibu met in Bianjing. In his eyes, the fortune of Zhao and Song was already the slump in the wind and could be extinguished at any time. Where did you think of it? When you got the news from the front line again, you were a huge shock.

King Kang really did a great thing!

What is turning the tide after the collapse, what is supporting the building to collapse, King Kang is.

Moreover, as the situation flips and the spread of news, the form of Hedong also changed rapidly. It seemed that many prefectures and counties changed colors overnight, and even prefectures and counties near Lanzhou, Shizhou and other places had re-emphasized the banner of the Song Dynasty.

Xu Huiyan and Sun Ang met with Zhe Keqiu, a villain who was changing with the wind, so the strength of the Song army in the northwest of Shanxi and the west of Shanxi increased sharply. Even if he and the Jin people worked together, they would not be able to do so.

Zhang Hao is the son of Zhang Xiaochun. Zhang Xiaochun is the Hedong Xuanfu envoy who was guarding Taiyuan with Wang Yuan for 300 days and the governor of Taiyuan Prefecture.

As the son of a grandpa Xuanfu Gong, Zhang Hao was certainly not a military general. Although he repeatedly led troops, he was a very standard civil servant. But did the Song Dynasty always use literature to suppress military officials? Zhang Hao had Zhang Xiaochun, who was here. During the Battle of Taiyuan, it was a plaque erected by the Song court.

He was promoted to the magistrate first, and was promoted to Hexi's visiting envoy in a flash. This was a great emperor's favor in the Zhao and Song dynasties, mostly because of his father Zhang Xiaochun's guarding Taiyuan. At that time, there were as many as 50,000 or 60,000 troops under Zhang Hao's command, such as Zhe Keqiu, who was under his command.

However, the Zhe family army suffered a great pain when the Jin army advanced south. First, the Zhe family's legitimate branch, Zhe Kecun, was ordered to station troops in Gan County. The town of Dong County was captured and taken to Yingzhou. He was imprisoned by the Jin people for more than half a year before fleeing back to the prefecture, and then died with hatred. Zhe Keqiu's troops also suffered heavy losses. It was also after that that, Zhe Keqiu learned the unique skill of "transferring in the last battle" without a teacher. Then, in the Taiyuan battlefield, Zhe Keqiu moved in again and again.

When the Song army rescued Taiyuan for the first time, Zhe Keqiu led the Luyan and Linfu armies. Before they could fight, Liu Guangshi's troops disappeared. Zhe Keqiu quickly moved forward after a small battle with the Jin soldiers.

During the second rescue of Taiyuan, Yao Gu and other troops from the Zhongshishi were from the east, and Zhe Keqiu advanced from the west, and then Zhe Keqiu simply did not go. It was just because Yao Gu Jiao's cowardly battle attracted the attention of the court. One was demoted and the other was cut off, and Zhe Keqiu was defeated.

Although the court had no punishment for the punishment, it was clear that the situation of transferring to the two times. So Li Gang rescued Taiyuan for the third time and appointed Zhang Hao as the Western Road Interview Envoy, hoping that Zhang Hao would strictly urge his generals to march because his father was surrounded.

As a result, Zhe Keqiu reported to Zhang Hao that "Yang Zongmin, the governor of Linzhou, will help him to attack the enemy. I will go to Jinzhou with a false name and go to Jinzhou, and the siege of Taiyuan will be lifted." The meaning of this passage is to say: Yang Zongmin, the governor of Linzhou, suggests that to attack the places where the enemy must be rescued. I Zhe Keqiu pretends to go to Jinzhou under the banner of General, and then the siege of Taiyuan can be lifted.

From then on, Zhe Keqiu's troops lost contact. When they heard about other troops, Zhe Keqiu's troops had already returned to the prefecture.

Afterwards, Zhang Hao's army was in chaos and had to lead his army to retreat to Guozha, but the Jin soldiers followed him and killed him. The commander Ji Jing's troops fled first, which led to a great defeat in the entire army. Then in Shuiwen County, the commander Zhang Sizheng sneaked into Jinzhai, beheaded hundreds of them, and won a small victory. However, the next day, the Jin soldiers attacked with three thousand iron horses. Zhang Sizheng's entire army was defeated, and tens of thousands of Song troops were gone. Zhang Hao only fled with hundreds of soldiers.

Then Taiyuan fell, and his father was captured by the Jin people and refused to surrender, so he was sent to Yunzhong for imprisonment.

Zhang Hao got a royal criticism from Zhao Huan - "I am not loyal and unfilial!"

After the news came out, how did Zhang Hao stand in the world?

Regarding the failure of the third rescue of Taiyuan, Zhao Huan punished Li Gang for raising Dongxiao Palace and pardoned Liu Yan's crime of defeating the army. However, he only spoke to him with such an evaluation: "This person is unfaithful and unfilial!"

When Zhang Hao heard this, the evaluation of unfaithfulness and unfiliality had spread all over the world. He simply voted for the Jin people. "The whole world is because Hao is unfaithful and unfilial, so I abandon my loyalty and get one filial piety alone."

So, in a sense, he was also forced to the Jin people by Zhao Huan. Of course, this is really "being forced" or a hypocritical behavior, and only he knows it.

But no matter what, the Jin people still believed in him very much. Just seeing that he was holding tens of thousands of troops under him, it was obvious.

These people were defeated soldiers of the Song army and local young and strong team training, which was recruited by Zhang Hao, and were a considerable force.

Once he had thought about it, the Jin people would probably have no last glimmer of hope in Hedong.

But Zhao Gou was also a person who had experienced the storm of the late Ming Dynasty. How could he just ask Zhang Hao to make a choice so easily? Zhao Gou didn't take the Song army in Hedong seriously. His eyes were on the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. Even if it was difficult to win in the short term, the Song army's food transportation was insufficient.

The Jin army was destined to be unable to accomplish anything in Hedong. Instead of asking people to stay in Hedong and wait for death, Zhao Gou believed that Nianhan would withdraw all the people to Datong.

Zhang Hao's father is in the clouds, that is, on the side of Datong, and the latter still goes to Datong and then makes trouble.

He wrote this directly in the letter.

A layer of sweat appeared on Zhang Hao's forehead.

He was willing to return to Zhao Song this time. Even if Zhao Huan said he was unfaithful and unfilial, he still agreed with the Central Plains dynasty from the bottom of his heart.

Compared with Zhao Huan, Zhao Gou in front of him is a more ideal partner to seek refuge.

Although this is just a prince, didn’t Zhao Laoer also become an emperor from a prince?

Zhao Gou holds heavy troops and is responsible for great righteousness. He also has the magical artifact that is terrified by Jurchens, which is terrified by the Jurchens. How can he not get it in the world?

Zhang Hao was not worried that he would have no bright future after he defected to Zhao Gou.

But he was worried that he would not be loyal to his life, so he would not be loyal to filial piety. If he lost the word filial piety, he would be really unfaithful and unrighteous.

Zhao Gou didn't force him to jump back immediately, so he really sympathized with him.

But if he had a thousand people in Taiyuan, he would definitely be able to cheat the Jin people, but if he went to Datong, everything would be different.

Not to mention how many Jin troops stationed in Datong, nor to say whether he can still hold real power in Datong, but to say that he can still have a few people left after he has traveled to Datong, that is all a suspense. The danger is naturally rising straight.
