Chapter 157 - Quadripartite Movement
In the past year, Zong Ze led a great army to Kaifeng. Up till now, Kaifeng's appearance had completely changed!
Because of the invasion of the female true essence, Kaifeng was already filled with a million people. But now, there were only a few thousand people in Kaifeng. The extent of its damage could be imagined!
The city was filled with ruined houses, weeds, and wild beasts!
Even the palace that had once been a palace was now in ruins. Ruins and ruins could be seen everywhere, and corpses that had not been tidied up could be seen everywhere! The grandeur of this place had long since disappeared. Now, it was as if it had been abandoned for many years!
It was late at night, and there were no lights or sounds. No one would live in this empty place. They would rather live outside in a small, comfortable home!
However, in the row of rooms around the palace, there was a light burning!
Under the light, a grey-haired old man was rapidly writing. The night was quiet, and his back was reflected on the window outside. He looked extremely lonely!
Just at this moment, a report came in from outside. He raised his head and said, "Come in!"
He only saw a thirty year old high-ranking officer enter the room. The temperament of the high-ranking officer and Yue Fei, along with Zhang Xian and Zhang Xian, were somewhat imaginable.
"General Wang Yan greets the lord!" The general kneeled down and said.
So he was actually the leader of the Eight Character Army, Wang Yan! The Eight Character Army was the most famous army in the Southern Song in the early days of the year. The earliest batch of soldiers had eight words tattooed on their faces: "Unrestrained Return of the Nation, Slaughtering Golden Thieves". It was why they were called the Eight Character Army! In the original history, after Wang Yan became the leader of the Eight Character Army, he brought the Eight Character Army to its peak! But right now, Liu Qi was already one of Zhao Chen's underlings, and would most likely not follow him!
"Get up! What's the matter? " The old man said somewhat tiredly.
"Master, the female army is about to head south, we have to think of a way to deal with them!" Wang Yandao.
"Rest assured, I will definitely be able to stop the true army of women!" We have two million soldiers now, how much can the Nvzhen have? At most, it will be a hundred thousand, do not be afraid! " The old man said.
If Zhao Chen were here to hear these words, he would definitely be incomparably shocked! This old man had gathered two million soldiers in a mere year's time. Not to mention other things, just the word 'two million' was enough to frighten anyone! Zhao Chen only had two hundred thousand troops under his command right now, but the old man's army was actually ten times stronger than his!
Master, although there are a lot of allied armies, but a lot of them are a motley crowd, and might not be able to stop the Nvzhen! Wang Yandao.
"With Kai Feng and the Shang Qiu as our bases, under this old man's command, we will be able to stop the Nvzhen. Don't worry!" The old man said.
"What is the lord writing?" Wang Yandao.
"I want His Majesty to send Han Shizhong to Kaifeng. If Han Shizhong comes to Kaifeng, I have even more confidence in dealing with Nvzhen!" The old man said.
"I'm afraid His Majesty will not let Han Shizhong come here!" Wang Yandao.
The elderly sighed softly and said, "I also recommend that you move the capital to Kaifeng. "After a year's time, I have already gathered two million troops. If His Majesty comes here, it can boost the morale of the troops. In the future, it won't even be a problem to counterattack the north!"
Wang Yan was shocked, and said: "Master, you cannot do this!"
The old man said, "Why not?"
Wang Yandao: "I'm afraid that he will rile Your Majesty up. At that time, Your Highness's position of the Kaifeng Prefecture will probably be removed!"
The old man shook his head and said, "If it is beneficial to the country, even if I am removed from the government, so what?"
Wang Yan said anxiously: "Master, if you were to be removed from your position in prefectural city and if the woman were to invade, who would defend against it?"
The old man was startled, and said: "Then after we defeat the female true disciple, I'll suggest that Your Majesty open the seal! At that time, I have already proven to Your Majesty that I am capable of resisting the true nature of women, so Your Majesty will surely be at ease! "
Wang Yan still felt that something was amiss. When he had just followed Kang Wang Zhao Zhuang, he felt that he was a hero that could draw the violent waves, but unfortunately, he quickly discovered that he was weak on the outside! Emperor Kang's ability to fight for power was not weak, and he was good at promoting talent, but after coming to Hangzhou, he immediately fell into a state of prosperity, and right now, he did not have any plans to fight with the female true lady, he only wanted to settle down on his side. He believed that as long as the old man handed over such a imperial report, not only would he be dismissed, he might even be in danger of losing his life! Regarding the viciousness of the Emperor Kang, Wang Yan had some experience! In order to compete for power and profit, Emperor Kang had even wanted to kill his nephew back then. There were many generals under the Emperor Kang, so the Emperor Kang probably did not care about this old man anymore!
"Right now, the world is in chaos. I am opening the seal every day, and I am very worried! I am worried for the truth realm and the Emperor Xuanwu! " The old man said.
"Emperor Xuanwu? It's just a child, what's there to worry about? " Wang Yandao.
"The Emperor Xuanwu himself is nothing to worry about, I am afraid of the officials who killed the Emperor Xuanwu, they might want to incite the Emperor Xuanwu to attack Jiangnan, that is not appropriate!" The old man said.
"This Emperor Xuanwu, has never done anything wrong, previously, he was a puppet in the hands of Zhe Keqiu, but now, he is a puppet in the hands of Li Gang, Curved End and the rest!" Wang Yan coldly snorted.
"Forget it, he was still a Crown Prince in the past, so his ascension is perfectly justified! Sigh, with the situation in the country turning out like this, I really don't know who was right and who was wrong! " The old man heaved a long sigh.
"Hmph, when we were outside Xiangzhou City, if only His Majesty had been able to kill that Emperor Xuanwu!" Wang Yandao.
"How can you think like that?" The old man frowned.
"Am I wrong? The Emperor Xuanwu is the source of the world's disintegration! " Wang Yandao.
"Enough, stop talking about him! Tomorrow morning, call all of the chieftain of the allied army over. We will discuss how to deal with this woman properly! " The old man said.
Wang Yan nodded and agreed.
It was not until December 10th that the female army from Hedong City finally began to move!
Wanyan Loushi also brought twenty thousand troops and joined the true female army at the east of the river!
As for Wan Yanyinshuke, he was sent to Chang An!
At this moment, Wan Yanyinshuke was with Wan Yanhuonv!
Wan Yanyinshuke and Wanyan Loushi's relationship was extremely good. As the son of Wanyan Loushi, naturally, Wan Yanhuonv did not dare to slight him!
"Don't worry uncle, in the next year, uncle will contribute a few merits, so naturally he can be promoted to centurion again! With uncle's power, who in the world can be his match? " Inside the Chang'an City's Palace, Wan Yanhuonv was entertaining Wan Yanyinshuke as he drank a mouthful of wine.
Wan Yanyinshuke was currently gnawing down a large piece of roasted lamb leg, and he didn't mind the fact that the roasted lamb leg wasn't even salted.
"That's right!" The little emperor didn't have any other abilities, but he did have many schemes and tricks! He actually sent people to the east side of the river to go against me, causing the third prince to die! " Wan Yanyinshuke said.
"Uncle, I am thinking of something! Second Crown Prince, Fourth Prince, Father and the others all headed south, leaving us in Chang'an! Actually, there is no point for us to stay here. Wan Yanhuonv said.
"Do we follow them south?" Second Crown Prince will definitely not agree to it! " Wan Yanyinshuke said.
"I'm not talking about going south!" Wan Yanhuonv said.
"What's that?" Wan Yanyinshuke said.
"I mean we can go all the way west! Right now, the Guan Shan is still in the hands of the Han Chinese. Let's defeat the Fengxiang Residence and even the distant Jingyuan City. What do you think? " Wan Yanhuonv said.
Wan Yanyinshuke was stunned upon hearing this, after a while, he suddenly burst out laughing, his laughter shook the entire house!
"That's right!" Good idea! If we can't go south, then we'll annihilate all the Han people in the northwest! Jingyuan City is known as the number one military city in the north, we destroyed Jingyuan City! As for the Fengxiang Residence, they are right behind us, we will destroy them too! I heard that there are still tens of thousands of Chinese Army in the Northwest, let's exterminate all of them! When that time comes, we will also have contribution points, and maybe I will be able to become the centurion again! " Wan Yanyinshuke laughed.
The scar on his face trembled continuously with his laughter, like a giant earthworm. He looked terrifying and disgusting, but Wan Yanhuonv ignored him and laughed out loud! They were both extremely excited and felt that their future was bright!
Just as the clouds were moving in all directions, the various food supplies in Middle Han Area were being moved towards the Dazhang Pass!
All sorts of information were being sent to the Dazhang Pass!
The Imperial Guard, the Pingyuan Army, the Tsinghua Army and the Managed's one hundred fifty thousand soldiers were all gathered around the Dazhang Pass and the Dazhang Pass!
By the fifteenth day of the twelfth month, Zhao Chen had already personally arrived at Dazhang Pass!
Wang Shu, Yue Fei, Zhao Zhe, Liu Qi, Kang An and the rest were all gathered in Dazhang Pass!
