Chapter 39 The Battle of the Two Rivers Begins

"Zhongqing, you are old and inconvenient to travel, so you stay in Tokyo."

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go north with you. Otherwise, I will be worried and will be in bad health."

"Since Zhong Qing insists on going, let's go with me and kill the enemy together!"

The news that the emperor was going to personally expedition immediately spread throughout Tokyo City. Now the streets and alleys of Tokyo City are discussing this matter. It is not a trivial matter for the emperor to personally expedition. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the true emperor's personal expedition was Taizu Taizong, and Emperor Zhenzong's personal expedition was too heavy.

All the people praised the great talent and strategy of Taizu Taizong today.

After this incident was passed down, other ministers also came to protest as if they were rejected by Zhao Huan and left crying.

It took Zhong Shidao ten days to select 20,000 elite troops from the Imperial Guard in Tokyo, led by Yao Pingzhong, and followed the imperial guards to the north.

There were a thousand people in the Imperial City Division, following the emperor's commander.

Since returning from time to time, Zhao Huan was strangled by the curse of one year and two months in history and could not breathe. This curse was created by the Jin army in the north. If he did not change anything, his destiny would be as tragic as Song Qinzong in history.

Therefore, as long as there is a way to drive the Jin army back to the Northeast, Zhao Huan is willing to try it, even if it is to fight in person.

Before the troops moved the food and grass, Li Gang had already begun to prepare the baggage troops as early as when he decided to fight in person.

After the emperor's imperial lord crossed the Yellow River, he soon arrived in Huazhou and joined the army of Zhong Shizhong and Yao Gu.

It was not until the emperor arrived in Huazhou that the emperor's personal expedition was announced. After receiving the news of the emperor's personal expedition in various places in HB, they were all excited.

Especially Zhongshan, the only important town that is not surrounded, was guarded by Zhan Du at this time.

On this day, as soon as he finished training the military and civilians, he received the emperor's special envoy. When he learned that the emperor had personally fought, he was so excited that he ran in Zhongshan City for half an hour.

At night, there is a waning moon in the sky, but it starts to snow.

He Liming rushed to Fencheng, and at this time Zhe Keqiu and Lin Jinfeng were both in Fencheng.

Zhe Keqiu was so depressed that he was about to vomit blood. He had been stationed in Fencheng for nearly two months. Seeing Wanyan Zonghan attacking Taiyuan, he could not move and was going crazy day and night, but the emperor's imperial order made him unable to move forward at Fencheng.

And this damn imperial city guard Lin Jinfeng followed him closely, as if he was afraid that he would run away.

That night, another Imperial City Guard came.

Zhe Keqiu had just come out to welcome the order. After learning from He Liming, he was shocked: "What! The emperor has personally fought for!"

"Where is the Holy Emperor's Royal Lord at this time? Let me lead the troops to protect the Lord quickly. This HB Hedong land is rampant with Jin thieves!"

"Zhe Shuai, the Holy Emperor, is in Huazhou at this time, and is protected by Zhong Shidao, Zhong Shizhong, Yao Gu, Yao Pingzhong and others. Don't worry, Zhe Shuai!"

"The brothers of the Zhong family and the father and son of the Yao family are not good! How can I fight my Zhe family army?"

He Liming was immediately amused and crying, but he was not willing to refute his face in front of Zhe Keqiu, and said, "Shi Shuai Zhe first reads His Majesty's order."

Zhe Keqiu opened it quickly. He thought the emperor asked him to go south to meet up. Unexpectedly, when he saw the above content, he saw the following: "Zhe must guard Fencheng and wait for my orders, and do not disobey!"

Zhe Keqiu sighed, looking a little dejected, but Lin Jinfeng said, "Sir Zhe should not be disappointed. The emperor naturally knew that General Zhe was the most elite iron army in the Song Dynasty. The emperor must have the idea of ​​the emperor to put Sir Zhe here at this time."

Who is Zhe Keqiu? The leader of the Zhe family army has fought for decades. Don’t he know?

But he just wanted to go to the emperor to protect the emperor.

He put one hand on He Liming and Lin Jinfeng: "Two brothers, go and have a drink with me to warm up your body!"

As early as a few days ago, Wanyan Zongwang arrived in Hejian and began to surround Hejian. Compared with Tokyo City, Hejian is also a military center, but it is much easier to attack.

However, at this time, Chen Go, the guard of Hejian, was also a ruthless person, who turned Hejian into an iron barrel.

When he arrived at the HB land, he was not far from Yanjing, and Wanyan Zongwang had no worries, so he let go of his courage to attack Hejian. After a few days, both sides suffered heavy losses.

Wanyan Zongwang began to surround Hejian, leaving food and water to threaten the defenders of Hejian.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the north wind is like a knife passing through the mountains.

In the camp in Huazhou, the emperor was sitting in the middle, and all the senior generals were here, and a HB was spread on the table with the military map of Hedong.

This time the commander-in-chief was Zhong Shidao. The emperor sat aside and said nothing, and Zhong Shidao spoke.

"Among the Zhong Shishi, I will give you 20,000 troops and set off for Zhongshan immediately when we head north. If it is not as expected, the Jin thieves will soon surround Zhongshan. You and the Zhongshan garrison Zhan Du cooperate with each other and attack the Jin army, and be sure to defeat the Jin thieves! Otherwise, come and see you!"

The sixty-six-year-old Zong Shizhong said tactfully: "Abide by the order!"

He took out the military token and retreated aside.

Zhong Shidao said again: "Yao Gu, Zhang Hao obeys the order!"

"The last one will be here!"

"I ordered you to lead a 40,000 army to Taiyuan, first purge Longde Prefecture, and seven days later, I will lead the army in Liaozhou with Zhe Keqiu's Western Army!"

"Abide by the order!"

At this time, Zhao Huan stood up and said, "Yao Qing, Zhang Qing, the army must not act rashly after the army is in Liaozhou. Wait for me to come in person, and then fight to the death with Wanyan Zonghan!"

Zhao Huan's last few words were spoken sonorously and loudly, and the soldiers in the house burned their blood after hearing this.

"I obey the order!"

Zhao Huan said again: "Zhongqing, I will entrust you to the land of HB. Be sure to break the siege of the river with Zhan Du!"

Zhong Shizhong said: "As the emperor entrusts, the old minister will do his best to complete it!"

"You are my pillar of protection of the country. I don't want you to sacrifice your life. I want you to come back alive!"

"Abide by the order!"

The Emperor of the Song Dynasty personally fought. After the rebels from all over the country learned about it, they also gathered and responded. For a moment, the prefectures that were originally captured by the Jin army actually started to resist. Some people shouted at the city tower that Long live the Holy Emperor, Long live the Song Dynasty!

Just when the imperial guards and rebels in various parts of HB were like dragons and tigers, in Cizhou, a 68-year-old man took more than a month to gather 100,000 troops and horses, becoming a considerable army.

As the new army's supervisor, Wang Kuian took him to Cizhou and met Zong Ze after finding the young man named Yue Fei.

Wang Kuian never expected that Zong Ze could gather so many people in such a short time. Some of these people became bandits in the war, while others formed rebels after the fall.

He looked at Zong Ze again. Although he was nearly 70 years old, he was full of energy, with a flying spirit, walking on a dragon and a tiger, and speaking with great energy. This army composed of scattered brave men from all over the country called Zong Ze the Zong Gong.

These leaders were all from Zong Ze personally, moving with righteousness and affection. Just say that Wang Shan, the former mountain king, was moved to tears by Zong Ze's words, and held Zong Ze's hand and said, "Gong Gong is righteous, how dare you not serve the court, how dare you not share the worries of the Holy Emperor!"

After gathering, Zong Ze practiced day and night, governed the army strictly and was generous.
