Chapter 81 - Yang Shi Heading West

"Your Majesty, this old subject is willing to go to Middle Han Area! Convince His Highness! " Yang Shi stood out and said loudly.

"Good!" I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Yang! But Mr. Yang is alone, who would be willing to go to Middle Han Area? " Zhao Gou said.

In fact, Zhao Gou was extremely joyous in his heart when he saw Yang Shi standing out! Although this Yang Shi didn't have much ability, his reputation was at the extreme! He was a disciple of a Confucian saint, even though he was the emperor, he did not dare to offend Yang Shi! It was to the extent that even in the past, Song Huizong did not dare to offend Yang Shi when he was still! In the past, Yang Shi had gotten on bad terms with Cai Jing, Tong Ge and the others. Those people were famous traitors in history, their power overflowing, but those people did not dare to punish Yang Shi either! With such a famous person persuading Zhao Chen, even Zhao Chen would find it hard to deal with him!

"Your Majesty, this humble subject is willing to accompany Mr. Yang to the Middle Han Area! Convince His Highness! " At this time, another person stood up and said indifferently.

Seeing him, Zhao Gou was startled, so it turned out that the man was Zhao Ding!

Seeing Zhao Ding standing out, Zhao Gou nodded and said: "Alright! You will go with Mr. Yang to the Middle Han Area! I'll leave this matter to the two of you! I hope that you guys can get the Imperial Jade Seal in your hands! This Imperial Jade Seal is extremely important, it should be in the hands of the Sovereign King! If the crown prince was young and he lost all his Imperial Jade Seal, then that would be terrible! "

Yang Shi, Zhao Ding agreed!

"Your Majesty, you have ascended the throne today, but you cannot stay in Shang Qiu City forever!" After finishing talking about the Imperial Jade Seal, Huang Qianshan suddenly stood up and said.

"Oh!" Why can't I stay here forever? " Zhao Gou said.

"This place is too close to Kaifeng! The last time Nvzhen was able to beat Kai Feng, the next time she would be able to defeat Shang Qiu! Regardless of whether it was Kaifeng or the Shang Qiu, both were plains! The Female Genuine Cavalry is coming, we can't stop them! Therefore, I suggest that Your Majesty head for Jiangnan! "From now on, we will be in Jiangnan's capital!" Huang Qianshan said.

"Yes, Your Majesty! There were many waterways in the south of the river, and with the arrival of the Female Genuine Cavalry, it was impossible to pass through them! When we get there, their battle power will be greatly reduced, and we will be much safer! " Wang Boyan also stood up and said.

These two were both officials from Jiangnan and had strong foundations in Jiangnan, so they had both recommended for Zhao Gou to go to Jiangnan. Of course, what they said wasn't wrong. Once they reached Jiangnan, they would be much safer!

"You're right!" It's just that we've just returned to the Central Plains and reclaimed Kaifeng, Shang Qiu and other places. Who should be the one to manage these places now? " Zhao Gou said.

His gaze swept downwards and all the ministers of the civil and military side turned their heads! None of them were willing to stay here, as this place was simply too dangerous!

"Your Majesty, this old official is willing to guard Kaifeng! This old official needs to train a strong army in the Kaifeng Mansion. Not only do I need to stop the Nvzhen here, I also need to lead an army to the north, to completely reclaim the Central Plains, and then to meet the two emperors! " Zong Ze stood out and said.

"Good!" I'll do as you say! From today onward, you will be opening the gates of government! " Zhao Gou laughed.

Your majesty, Han Shizhong and General Han are extraordinary, why not stay in Kaifeng and help this old official! Zong Ze said again.

"There's no need for that! Han Shizhong is going to Jiangnan to build up the Jiangnan Water Army to protect the Yangtze River in the future! " Zhao Gou shook his head and said.

He was afraid of death, and when he reached Jiangnan, he would need someone to help him defend the Yangtze River! And Han Shizhong was the most capable general under him, so he naturally had to be used for the defense of the Yangtze River!

As for Liu Guangshi, on one hand, Zong Ze looked down on Liu Guangshi, and on the other hand, Liu Guangshi himself was not willing to leave Zhao Gou's side! In Liu Guangshi's opinion, only by following Zhao Gou could one rise to the ranks of an official and make a fortune!

In the end, the eight-word army leader decided to leave Wang Yan in Kaifeng! More than half of the allied army decided to stay in Kaifeng! It was just that these allied troops lacked weapons and food. These things required Zhao Gou to prepare after arriving in Jiangnan!

Zhao Gou stood on top of the pavilion, and looked into the distance!

There was an excited smile on his face! Since he was young, he'd never wished for himself to become the Emperor! But when the Nvzhen went south, he finally had the chance to become the Emperor! Now, he had finally achieved his long-cherished wish!

It was just that there was a crown prince in the west, but he was nothing! On one hand, he had already sent Yang Shi and Zhao Ding to persuade the crown prince! Even if Yang Shi, Zhao Ding could not convince the crown prince, when he occupies the Central Plains, Jiangnan, Sichuan and other places, the crown prince would only have a small piece of Middle Han Area, and would not be able to contend against him!

"If we can't, we have to send an army to annihilate the crown prince! Could a mere Middle Han Area be able to stop my great army? " Thinking of this, Zhao Gou laughed out loud!

Early morning of the second day, Yang Shi and Zhao Ding left Shang Qiu City and headed towards the west!

They were going to head west, pass through the Tongguan, and then head to the Middle Han Area from there!

The two of them only brought a few lackeys with them, but these lackeys were all experts in the military!

Yang Shi sat in the carriage, his face solemn! Zhao Ding was by his side!

"Mr. Yang, do you think we can convince the crown prince?" Zhao Ding said.

"No problem!" I am speaking righteously to the crown prince, he can't not listen! " Yang Shi said.

"If the Crown Prince doesn't listen, what should we do?" Zhao Ding said.

"If the Crown Prince doesn't listen to him, it means he has to leave the country and the people behind. It means he has to let the country and the people down, and he has to let the late emperor down! [I am afraid we will have to fight against the Crown Prince then!] His Majesty has occupied Jiangnan, Sichuan and Central Plains. If he wanted to take back a mere Middle Han Area, it would be as easy as flipping his hand! " Yang Shi said.

"The Nvzhen has not gone south yet. If we fight against the crown prince, causing a disaster for the Xiao Wall, I'm afraid that would not be a good thing, right?" Zhao Ding frowned.

"For the country, for the people, for the Song Dynasty, there is no other choice!" Yang Shi said.

"The crown prince is orthodox after all. His Majesty is the vassal lord after all! If His Majesty were to fight against the Crown Prince, the people of the world might not agree with us! " Zhao Ding said.

"We did it for those people! The people did not understand, so we could only try to persuade them! When the time comes in the future, His Majesty will unite the country and drive out the Tataru, and the citizens will naturally not say anything else! " Yang Shi said.

Yang Shi was filled with confidence, but Zhao Ding was frowning, as he continuously thought in his heart!

"Then the father and son of Zhe Keqiu are also no small matter. They once defeated the Jin Army and became famous in the world! With them here, it won't be easy for us to take down Middle Han Area! " Zhao Ding said again.

Originally, when they were at Monk Origin, Wu Jie had defeated Jin Army, but he had seized the credit for it, making it known to everyone that it was the father and son of the Broken Sect who had defeated Jin Army! As a result, up until now, not many people in the world knew about Wu Jie, and they all thought that it was Zhe Keqiu who had defeated him! Speaking of which, this was the first time Song Bing had defeated the Jin Army in a frontal battle since the true female had invaded South. As a result, Zhe Keqiu and his son were now extremely famous! When they were defending the Yellow River, they heard the sound and fled. But now, no one mentioned the things from the past! Even Zhao Ding thought that the father and son of the Zhuo Family were experts in military strategy, the Home Breaker's strength was extraordinary!

"Even though Zhe Keqiu and his son are no small matter, the place they have occupied is after all too small! A mere Middle Han Area is unable to resist us! At most, only a few more people will die! " Yang Shi said.

Zhao Ding shook his head, and did not speak further!

They left on May 17th, and by May 25th, they had already reached Tongguan City!

Right now, the Tongguan was already occupied by the Nvzhen, it was just that the Nvzhen did not stop ordinary merchants from entering or exiting the Tongguan! They were all pretending to be merchants, and they even had the passage order from the Nvzhen! Therefore, they were not obstructed in this place!

After passing through the Tongguan, they headed west! They did not stop when they passed by Chang'an!

On the third day of the sixth month, they came to Dazhang Pass.

When the guards of the Dazhang Pass heard about their identities, they did not dare to delay and immediately sent people to protect them and bring them to the Middle Han Area!

On the 17th of June, the two of them arrived at Middle Han Area! It was already dusk!

Zhe Keqiu welcomed the two of them personally!
