Chapter 43 - West again

Because it was a snowy day, the sky was very dark and the road was very smooth. As a result, their marching speed was extremely slow!

Zhao Chen was in the middle of the army, the three Yue Fei brothers were by his side, and Zhe Keqiu was also beside him!

Everyone was on horseback, slowly moving forward!

Zhao Chen's hair had already turned white, and he said: "General Crop, you are an envoy from Shaanxi Province, you are responsible for protecting everyone! This Tongguan is the door to the Guan Shan, it is extremely important, and now that you have given up on this place, do you think you are worthy of the heavy burden that your royal father placed on you? "

Zhe Keqiu was startled, he did not expect the crown prince to ask this question, and immediately said: "Your Highness does not need to worry, I have already sent someone to inform General Yao Gu Yao, he will bring people to the Tongguan to protect the Tongguan!"

Zhao Chen was startled, and by his side, Yue Fei and the rest were also stunned, they never thought that Zhe Keqiu actually had such a move up his sleeve! But then he thought about it, and they all understood Zhe Keqiu's intentions. Zhe Keqiu wanted to rely on Yao Gu's Yao Army to fend off the Nvzhen!

"Is the Nvzhen not far from the Tongguan?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Highness is wise and farsighted. Nvzhen is indeed not very far from here! They have come to Shaanxi Province! " With regards to Zhao Chen's quick reaction, Zhe Keqiu was slightly shocked!

However, very quickly, Zhao Chen's face revealed a look of extreme fear. He used his horse whip to whip his warhorse, causing it to speed up, and shouted: "Since Nvzhen is already in Shaanxi Province, not far from here, what are you all waiting for?"

He was shouting loudly, but his body was trembling nonstop. It was as if he was extremely frightened!

Seeing Zhao Chen like this, Zhe Keqiu finally revealed a smile! This kind of Crown Prince was the one he "liked". Only this kind of timid Crown Prince was not a threat to him!

"Your Highness, there is no need to be afraid. With the army of over a hundred thousand from our Zhuo Family, we can always protect Your Highness!" Zhe Keqiu said as he caught up.

"Alright, alright, alright. I only need to rely on the Home Breaker now!" Zhao Chen's face was pale as he gasped for breath.

"Home Breaker is a strong army from the northwest. Let alone the fact that they haven't come, even if they have, we can still stop them!" Zhe Keqiu promised.

"Sigh!" When Nvzhen had just left the south, I had once advised royal father to move his capital, but royal father didn't listen! If royal father had listened to my suggestion at that time, how could he have been captured by the Nvzhen? " Zhao Chen sighed.

"When Nvzhen just went south … Did the Nvzhen already take down the three towns in the north? " Zhe Keqiu said.

"Of course not! But I know that we are definitely not their match! " Zhao Chen shook his head.

"His Highness is wise and wise, at that time he could already guess how strong the Nvzhen is, and in the end, he would take down Kai Feng!" Zhe Keqiu replied respectfully from the side.

On the surface, he looked at Zhao Chen in admiration, but in reality, he had already despised the crown prince to the extreme! The Nvzhen had just gone south and the Crown Prince was moving to the capital.

Thinking of this, he really wanted to laugh out loud! When Zhao Chen saw his complacent look, his mouth revealed a sneer!

The Northern Song lacked horses, and it was the same for the Home Breaker. Other than a few riders, the majority of the Home Breaker s were just infantry! Their daily training was relaxed, and at this moment, these infantry soldiers were extremely slow!

In the entire afternoon, they had walked several tens of kilometers!

At this moment, they had rushed to a small town and were resting there that night. In the middle of the night, they suddenly heard noises coming from outside!

Zhao Chen was woken up from his sleep, he anxiously donned on his clothes and walked out, Yue Fei and the rest were already coming over.

"What happened?" Zhao Chen said.

"It seems that other soldiers of the Western Army have arrived. I think they are from the Yao Army!" Yue Fei said.

"Oh!" Yao Army, that Yao Gu is also a great general of the Western Army, I wonder if he is among them? " Zhao Chen said.

"We are not sure about that!" Yue Fei said.

"I need to go out and take a look!" Zhao Chen said.

If Zhao Chen wanted to go out and take a look, Yue Fei and the others would naturally follow!

However, just as they arrived at the door, they realised that there were many soldiers of Home Breaker guarding the place. These soldiers actually stopped them and did not let them pass!

"I'm the crown prince, and you dare to stop me?" Zhao Chen said coldly.

"Your Highness, this is General Crop's order, please do not make things difficult for us!" The one leading them, the Academy Officer, was still Kang An.

"Hmph, His Highness the Crown Prince is the ruler of a nation, and his status is even higher than your General Crop! Even the General Crop would not be able to stop the Crown Prince from leaving. Do you dare to stop him? " Zhang Xian said coldly.

"Sorry, without General Crop's order, I can't let you go!" Kang An said.

"What if we must go?" Zhang Xian said.

"Please don't force us!" Kang An said.

Those soldiers of the Home Breaker had already raised the weapons in their hands, and were pointing them at this direction. Seeing that the conflict was about to break out, Zhao Chen finally opened his mouth and said: "Forget it, since the General Crop does not allow us to leave, then we will not go out! I believe that he did it for our own good. Let's go back! "

He turned around and left. Zhang Xian stared at Kang An and the others angrily, and also left in the end!

When he returned to his room, Zhang Xian was still furious and indignant, "Zhe Keqiu deserves to die a thousand times for his crimes. We are officially free now, but in reality, we are still under his house arrest!"

Zhao Chen laughed faintly: "He wants to control us completely and prevent us from seeing Yao Gu! He's afraid Yao Gu will take us away right? "

In truth, Zhe Keqiu also had such a thought! Now that he had a firm grasp of Zhao Chen, he definitely could not allow Zhao Chen to fall into the hands of others! Otherwise, his grand plan of "seizing the heaven to command the dukes" would have been impossible to carry out!

"Your Highness, we are staying here like we are in a wolf's den. It's very dangerous!" Why don't I escort you out and meet Yao Gu? When that happens, your highness will truly be free! " Yue Fei said.

"This …" Zhao Chen started to ponder, and after a long while, he said: "Forget it! Nobody knew what would happen in this chaotic world! Zhe Keqiu's mind was not pure, then was Yao Gu's mind pure? Furthermore, Yao Gu obviously did not have a brain, he had been given the Tongguan, and was using him to resist the Jin Army, and he had actually been tricked! If I follow him, even if he was loyal to me, I'm afraid he would be killed by Jin Army! Furthermore, if I were to join his army, will Zhe Keqiu leave it at that? "The great army of the Zhexiu is worth one hundred and fifty thousand, and I'll be snatched away by him at that time. What's the point of this?"

Yue Fei nodded, and said: "Since that's the case, we will still stay here! I will still follow Zhe Keqiu! "

In fact, even though the Yao Army had arrived, Yao Gu himself was not here! Zhe Keqiu gave the Tongguan and Chang An to Yao Gu, while Yao Gu had already gone to Chang An. He had only sent over ten thousand soldiers to accept the Tongguan!

On the morning of the second day, Zhao Chen once again followed Zhe Keqiu and the others as they headed west. Zhe Keqiu was still following by his side!

"Are we going to Chang'an?" Zhao Chen looked afar and said.

"Your Highness, the Nvzhen is approaching us menacingly. Once we reach Chang'an, we might not be able to escape. We'll continue heading west!" Zhe Keqiu said.

"All the way west?" Zhao Chen was stunned!

Honestly speaking, he did not know where the Home Breaker was heading to. He thought that the Home Breaker would stop once he reached Chang An, but who knew that he would have to head west again! He did not know that Zhe Keqiu had already given Chang An to Yao Gu!

"That's right, we will go to the Fengxiang Residence, or we will go there, and then we will stop!" Zhe Keqiu said.

On the fifteenth of the second month, they passed by Chang'an. Surprisingly, they did not enter Chang'an City. Yao Gu only received the news after they left for a long time! Yao Gu originally wanted to pay his respects to the Crown Prince, but now that the Crown Prince had left, he decided to give up.

On this day, the vanguard army of Nvzhen had already passed the Yellow River and arrived at the outskirts of Tongguan.

The leader was a young general. He looked to be around 20 years old, but he looked exceptionally valiant! Although it was snowing, his clothes were abnormally thin. His thick arm was exposed, and one could see that his skin was dark and muscles bulged. It was as if his entire body was filled with explosive power!

His face was very strange, and he looked very different! If it was a female true veteran who had fought for many years, they would be able to recognize that he looked somewhat similar to the female true hero Wan Yanaguda!

He was none other than Wan Yanaguda's fourth son, the famous Wan Yanzongbi of later generations, or someone who could be called Wan Yanwushu, Jin Wushu!

He was still young now, and his days in the war were limited. His achievements were also limited, so his current position was only that of the Left Supervisor of the Marshal, serving as a vanguard at the same time!

At this moment, he looked at Tongguan City in front of him, his eyes filled with excitement!
