Chapter 27 - Historical Mystery

"Xiangzhou? Why did we stop there? " Zhao Chen said in shock.

"Your Highness, I was asking for news along the way. I found out that the His Royal Highness is in the Xiangzhou! He was the great marshal of the army, and was in charge of summoning all the troops in the world. Currently, the defeated troops from Hebei and Hedong had all arrived at the Xiangzhou, and the other rebel troops were all advancing towards the Xiangzhou! After you go to the Xiangzhou, you can identify yourself and gain the support of all these soldiers! In addition, Master Zong Ze is in Xiangzhou! He is quite talented in the art of war, and can assist His Highness as well! " Li Gang said.

"Zong Ze?" Zhao Chen was slightly startled in his heart.

Zong Ze was also known as the 'Resisting Jin Ming Chen' in history! In the early days of the Southern Song Dynasty, under Li Gang's suggestion, Zong Ze defended along Kai Feng's side and repeatedly defeated Jin Army! After that, Zong Ze died of illness, and before he died, he recited the word "Crossing Rivers", and even in death, he did not forget to take back the Central Plains! Zong Ze was famous throughout history, and the other important reason was Yue Fei! It could be said that Zong Ze was Yue Fei's teacher!

"Master Zong Ze is renowned throughout the world, and is extremely loyal to the imperial government! As long as we can find Master Zong Ze, he will definitely support the crown prince! " Li Gang saw the curiosity in Zhao Chen's eyes and asked.

"What is Master Zong Ze's position now?" Zhao Chen said.

"He is the world's vice-marshal of war, an assistant His Royal Highness!" Li Gang said.

"Emperor Kang... This Ninth Uncle here, what kind of person is he? " Zhao Chen thought about it and said.

"His Royal Highness is talented and courageous, he is an outstanding person among the royal family. Otherwise, His Majesty wouldn't have allowed him to become the Great Marshal of the Army of the world! It's just that I have never interacted with His Royal Highness before, so I'm only talking about rumors. As for who exactly he is, I'm not too sure either! " Li Gang said.

"Emperor Kang... Song Gao Zong, Zhao Gou... This person was the famous Emperor who had requested for peace in history! In the southern Song Dynasty, when Li Gang wanted to take back the Central Plains, he did not agree! Zong Ze wanted to take back the Central Plains, but he did not agree either! Yue Fei has already defeated the Jin Army's main forces, and just as he is about to subdue Kai Feng, and the battle reached to the banks of the Yellow River, he actually called Yue Fei back …. " Zhao Chen knew that the Emperor Kang was indeed the Zhao Gou of Song Gao Zong. This person had a very poor reputation in history, because this person wholeheartedly requested for peace and had lost his country time and time again, so his impression of Zhao Gou was not very good.

"Your Highness, is something wrong?" Li Gang saw that Zhao Chen was deep in thought and could not help but ask.

"Nothing... This Ninth Uncle, I had seen him before … I don't have a good impression of him! " However, Zhao Chen lied at this moment.

"Huh?" Li Gang was startled, and asked: "Why does Your Highness not have a good impression of Emperor Kang?"

"I can't say! I feel that his personality is a little soft, I probably won't put my heart in fighting the Jin Army! " Zhao Chen said.

"This... I'm afraid not? If he was soft, how could His Majesty appoint him as the world's marshal? I feel that he is a person of unswerving determination. His Highness is still young, and there may be times when he was wrong! No matter what, we still have to rely on His Royal Highness! Because he has the most men under him right now! " Li Gang said.

Zhao Chen nodded, but he felt that something was amiss!

That night, they rested in the mountain cave. Li Gang was already asleep, but he had twisted on the side, unable to fall asleep.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Chen crawled up, and arrived outside the cave. Right now was the coldest time of the year. The cold wind whistled, and Zhao Chen let the cold wind blow on his body. Only then would he be more clear-headed.

"Why did Yue Fei call Yue Fei back when he had a great victory? Furthermore, his first order wasn't enough. He had actually sent out twelve orders in a row … What was this for? For what? He was afraid Yue Fei would take back the Central Plains? But, what harm does Yue Fei bringing back the Central Plains do him? " Zhao Chen secretly thought.

Ever since he came to this era, Zhao Chen had experienced countless dangers, so he was extremely vigilant! He felt that it was inappropriate talking with Li Gang previously, so he had been pondering about this problem.

"Yue Fei's Jiang Hong said 'Jingkang shame, is still fresh in my heart, subject hates, when will it be extinguished', Jingkang shame, Jingkang shame … Yue Fei's greatest aspiration in life was to welcome the two emperors back … I understand! I understand! " As Zhao Chen stood in the cold wind, his complexion suddenly became pale!

Zhao Gou was not afraid that Yue Fei would take back the Central Plains! Yue Fei taking back the Central Plains would only be beneficial to him in no way. At that time, Zhao Gou would be the master of ZTE, his name would shake the world, and even the history books would write about his exceptional reputation!

What Zhao Gou was afraid of was that after taking back the Central Plains, he would be able to welcome the two emperors back! Song Huizong was his father and the Song Chin Zong was his brother. Now that the two of them had returned, what should he do? His title of emperor was always unreasonable, but now that the rightful emperors and emperors had returned, he had to hand over his throne! What he was afraid of was losing the throne, losing power!

"So it's like this, Zhao Gou is afraid of welcoming the two emperors back, so he would rather not let Yue Fei take back the Central Plains! Li Gang, Zong Ze, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, etc. These were all famous figures in the history of the continent. With these famous generals, the Jin Army was defeated many times by the Song Army and Jin Wushu was defeated by Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Wu Jie, etc., but the Southern Song Dynasty was still unable to reclaim the Central Plains … At critical moments, Zhao Gou would ask for peace, and Zhao Gou would let the generals withdraw … Because Zhao Gou did not want to take back the Central Plains, he was afraid that the famous generals would bring the two emperors back … "

"He values the throne so much … Now that royal father and emperor have been captured, if history does not change, he will become emperor … However, history has changed now. I, the crown prince, have survived. If he wants to become the emperor, he must first kill me, the crown prince! "Not good!"

Zhao Chen finally understood where the word "inappropriate" was. He felt his body go cold as he stood there!

"I can't go to Xiangzhou! If we go to Xiangzhou, I'm afraid there will only be death! " Zhao Chen secretly thought.

He looked at the sky above him. It was now night. The sky made him feel an extreme sense of oppression! Ever since he came to this era, the danger had never left him!

"I need to think of a way to persuade Li Gang!" Zhao Chen secretly thought.

Early in the morning on the second day, Li Gang woke up and the two continued their journey north.

Along the way, Zhao Chen wanted to advise Li Gang against it, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still could not think of a proper reason! He couldn't say that Zhao Gou wanted to be the emperor, so he couldn't let him, the crown prince, live on! Now that Zhao Gou's bad deeds were not known, even if he said it out loud, Li Gang would not believe it!

Zhao Chen's heart was getting more and more anxious, to the point where he couldn't resist wanting to escape this place by himself!

Along the way, more and more human tracks appeared!

In the afternoon, a big city appeared in front of them. It was Xiangzhou City! People came and went, and it was a bustling scene in a chaotic world! Moreover, many of these people were soldiers. There were the's Imperial Guards, Western Army's Imperial Guards, and the various King's Army.

Although Jin Army had gone all the way south to the Kaifeng City, they had still been travelling in a hurry most of the time! Although they had nominally occupied Hebei, Hedong, and Henan, in truth, they had only taken down a portion of the cities. Many of the cities were still under Chinese occupation, and the Xiangzhou City was one of them! Right now, the Xiangzhou City had become the most important city in the north. Because the world's marshal, Zhao Gou, was here, all kinds of troops were gathering here!

"No, I can't go to Xiangzhou City!" Looking at the Xiangzhou City far away, Zhao Chen felt a great sense of danger, he said to himself.

If Li Gang insisted on going to the Xiangzhou City, he would leave right now!

"Your Highness, please wait here for a moment. I will first go and inquire about the situation in Xiangzhou City! Although Emperor Kang and Zong Ze are famous in this world, we have never interacted with them before. If we want to take over the army of this world from their hands, we need to understand their temperament and Xiangzhou City's situation! " Li Gang said.

"Alright!" Zhao Chen nodded.

Since Li Gang did not have the intention to enter the Xiangzhou City at the moment, then Zhao Chen would not leave for the time being. As he stood at the edge of the city and watched the Han Chinese walk out, he had an exceptionally familiar feeling! For the past month, they had been trekking through this place. Most of the things they saw every day were desolate scenes. Occasionally, they would pass by the village, and inside the village, there were dead bodies everywhere.

"Kang Wang Zhao Zhuang, he has so many troops under his command … If he went to open the seal, he might be able to save royal father and the Supreme Emperor … But in the history, there had never been a case of a Kang Wang Zhao Zhuang opening a seal! Maybe, he was the happiest one in his heart when his royal father and emperor were captured! " Zhao Chen secretly thought.

Just then, a clamor of voices came from the entrance of the Xiangzhou City. A squadron of cavalrymen had come out! These cavalry soldiers were all wearing silver helmets and armor, and they looked extremely mighty and beautiful. The one leading them was a Young Generals, and he looked extremely handsome! When Zhao Chen saw this Young Generals from afar, he only felt that his eyes lit up, and a phrase "Zhao Yun" suddenly gushed out from his heart! If the Young Generals were to act the part of the handsome little general Zhao Yun in the Three Kingdoms, it would be the most appropriate!

"There is actually such a handsome man in this world? Who is this person?" Curious in his heart, Zhao Chen quietly said this.

When Zhao Chen heard the words "Liu Guangshi", "General Liu" and so on, he was startled. He thought to himself, This is the Southern Song Dynasty's first year famous general, Liu Guangshi!

Liu Guangshi was the son of a general in the Western Army army, and his father, Liu Yanqing, was the number two person in the Western Army at that time, only second to the path of seed masters! The Liu Jiajia was also the strongest army in the Western Army! Unfortunately, no matter whether it was Liu Yanqing or Liu Guangshi, both were cowardly and cowardly. Historically, Song Army had allied with the strong to fight against the weak, and Liu Yanqing was the commander-in-chief. But very quickly, the Jin Army invaded. Liu Guangshi did not go to Kai Feng, instead, he went to Xiangzhou City to follow them. After Zhao Gou ascended to the position, he continuously bestowed rewards to him. Liu Guangshi was the first famous general of the Southern Song Province who had been bestowed the position of throttling, and was also the later head of the Seven Kingdoms. His rank surpassed Yue Fei's, Han Shizhong's!

However, he did not have much battle achievements, he was only relying on the few generals, and the one ranked first was Wang De, but Wang De had already been subdued by Zhao Chen!

"So Liu Guangshi is actually this handsome!" Zhao Chen thought.

Liu Guangshi brought his cavalry out, and looked at the surrounding from afar, his face full of pride! Although there were a lot of troops in the Xiangzhou City now, most of them were in disarray. This time, he brought the Liu Jiajia, who hadn't been harmed in the slightest, to the Xiangzhou City. His strength far surpassed those of the defeated and defected troops! Right now, the Kang Wang Zhao Zhuang regarded him very highly and had already dubbed him "the world's vice-marshal". It was just that he was not bestowed the title of deputy marshal by the emperor, so his reputation did not make sense.

"Kaifeng City was surrounded, Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor were captured, and only His Royal Highness escaped the siege! In the future, His Royal Highness will definitely become the emperor. I will be the first to follow His Highness, and with the protection of the emperor, His Highness will definitely bestow great rewards upon me. However, there were rumors saying that his Highness the Crown Prince had escaped from the Kaifeng City. The Crown Prince shall ascend the throne, but I will have no benefits at all! " Liu Guangshi spurred his horse forward, and said secretly.

Suddenly, Liu Guangshi saw a young man in the distance, suspicions were revealed in his eyes, he felt that the young man was familiar! But soon, he spurred his horse and left the area.
