Chapter 174 - Grief

"Just one month ago, my daughter-in-law was walking on the street when she was spotted by someone from Jin Army! That Jin Army insulted my daughter-in-law in the streets, and my son couldn't stand it anymore. A few Jin Army s rushed over and pinned my son to the ground. They were raping my daughter-in-law right in front of my son! His daughter-in-law couldn't bear the humiliation and bit her tongue to commit suicide! Those Jin Army s cut my son into pieces! Afterwards, they found out the address of my home, and threw my miserable son's corpse into my house. After that, they took everything in my house, and all the valuable things were taken by them! My two daughters who are not yet out of the pavilion have also been abused to death by them! They threw the older student onto the ground, unable to get up. They stomped on the body of the older student a few times, and then left! " The old man cried.

Zhao Chen frowned.

"Your Majesty, women are truly brutal and inhumane! My child is only four years old. While he was playing outside, a few Nvzhen s walked over. It is unknown what those Nvzhen s were saying, but they held onto my child! A Nvzhen threw my child into the air, and when my child landed, the Nvzhen next to him used his foot to kick my child towards the sky! My children are screaming, and they are laughing! I wanted to rush over, but they forced me to the ground! After that, my child's voice became softer and softer. Finally, when Nvzhen left, my child had already died. I still remember the painful expression on his face when he died! He's only four years old, and yet he's being tortured like this! " An abnormally thin middle-aged man cried out.

"Your Majesty, my husband was also killed by the Nvzhen! Nvzhen made them perform hard labor, from morning to night, they did not have a single moment of rest. My husband just accidentally napped and got whipped to death by them! " a woman cried.

The sound of weeping could be heard everywhere, and the citizens of Chang'an City were all crying bitterly, recounting the tragic life that they had lived for the past two years! In these two years, who knew how many Han Chinese had been brutally beaten to death and how many had been starved to death?

Zhao Chen stood there with a very bad feeling in his heart!

Originally, he had been in high spirits after taking down Chang'an! But at this moment, all he could do was grieve!

In two years of time, the people of Chang'an City had met with many calamities! For example, the other parts of the Central Plains. Needless to say, the commoners there would definitely encounter more disasters than the citizens of Chang'an! Historically, more than 10 million Han Chinese died when Valkyrie went south. As for the Mongols, more than 50 million Han Chinese died when she went south! Every foreign invasion was a huge disaster for the Chinese! For example, in a war between Chinese people, although there was also a military disaster, there was no such thing as the destruction of a country or its seeds. No one would be able to completely wipe out their own clansmen! Only an outsider would be so ruthless!

"Everyone, rest assured, I will definitely avenge all of you! He definitely wouldn't let that woman go! I have been hiding in the Middle Han Area for two years, taming the Guan Shan and taking down Chang An was just the first step! In the future, I want to subdue the entire Central Plains, I want to subdue the Yan Yun Sixteen Prefectures that I lost when I was five generations and ten countries away. I also want to go to Nvzhen's hometown and completely subdue them, so that they won't dare to have even the slightest bit of ambition, so I can let them pay the price for their past sins! " Zhao Chen said.

"Is what His Majesty said true?" The old man who spoke first asked excitedly.

"Of course it's true! Speaking of which, my Zhao Family has let you down! My royal father, royal grandfather, and the others did not do well. The nation was corrupt, and their armaments were lax. In fact, Emperor Taizong and Emperor Taizong's actions were not very good. They wrote and suppressed martial arts, causing the military strength of our Song Dynasty to grow stronger and stronger generation after generation. This was why there were disasters after that, whether it was Chidan, Xixia, or the female true could invade the Song Dynasty, all of them could harm our people! From today onwards, we will change our ancestor's rules, and will no longer use words to suppress martial arts. We will do our best to develop our armaments and fight with the Nvzhen to a draw! " Zhao Chen said.

Wang Shu was shocked, he thought that Zhao Chen had completely changed the policy of the nation, if these words were to spread to the Middle Han Area, Jiang Nan and other places, the scholars from all over the place would definitely go into an uproar! It must be known that after the establishment of the Song Dynasty, Yang Wen's state policy of suppressing martial arts had been implemented for more than a hundred years, and had become deeply ingrained in the hearts of the people! In the hearts of the common people in the Song Dynasty, the status of the scholars was much higher than the warriors. The scholars from all over the Song Dynasty looked down on those ordinary soldiers. Even if they were ordinary soldiers or martial artists, they would naturally think that their status was inferior to those of the scholars! But now, Zhao Chen was actually going to change everything! If this news were to spread to the Middle Han Area, wouldn't it be a huge mess?

Wang Shu was nervous in his heart, he knew that he must not let this news spread! He looked at the surrounding Royal soldiers, thinking that he must warn these Royal soldiers, and tell them not to speak carelessly!

But when the citizens of Chang'an City heard this, they were overjoyed! After experiencing such a calamity, the citizens of the Chang'an City could not wait for the Song Dynasty's invincible army.

"Your majesty is wise!" Countless citizens kneeled down and said excitedly.

"We swear today that we will definitely exorcise the Tataru in this lifetime! I will devote all my time and energy to this and fight endlessly for it! I will definitely make it up to the people and let them live a better life than before the invasion of the female real! " Zhao Chen said.

There was no need to say anymore about his grief. Just at this moment, Yue Fei arrived at the top of the city wall and walked towards Zhao Chen in large strides.

"Is the war over in the city now?" Zhao Chen said.

"The war in the city has ended, and the few women who are still alive and alive in the city have been subdued by us …" Your Majesty, I have received a piece of news. " Yue Fei hesitated for a moment and said.

"What news?" Zhao Chen said.

"This …" Yue Fei wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Tell me quickly!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, these words cannot be heard by anyone else!" Yue Fei said.

Zhao Chen nodded, then walked to the side with Yue Fei and said: "Now, you can say what you want to say, right?"

"Your Majesty, the empress dowager has passed away!" Yue Fei said softly.

"What!" Zhao Chen was stunned, he was stunned!

The so called empress dowager was Song Chin Zong's empress, the Zhu Clan, and also Zhao Chen's birth mother! The Empress Zhu was brought to the Huining Mansion by the Nvzhen. The true emperor, Wan Yanwuqimai, wanted to humiliate the Empress Zhu, so the Empress Zhu jumped down the river and killed himself! Yue Fei had just received the news when he was interrogating a few female high-ranking officer s, so he hurried over to report!

Zhao Chen stood there in a daze, tears flowing out of his eyes!

He had only stayed in Kaifeng for half a year, and he had only stayed with the Empress Zhu for half a year! But he knew that the Empress Zhu truly loved him, and from the Empress Zhu, he could indeed feel the existence of a mother's love! There was also love between mother and son! In this era, males and females were married early, and the Empress Zhu was born early. She was only sixteen years older than him, and she was not even thirty years old when she died! This kind of age was the prime of life, yet she died in the hands of the Nvzhen! Her own mother had died in the hands of the Nvzhen just like that!

"Your Majesty, your condolences!" Yue Fei said as he knelt on the ground.

"I will remember this grudge!" I will settle the score with the Nvzhen in the future! Right now, our strength is not as good as theirs, so we should still develop for a few years! " Zhao Chen clenched his teeth and said.

It had already been half a month since the Changan War, and it was already the 1st of February!

At the moment, the Guan Shan was gradually calming down, and Zhao Chen did not attack the Shaanxi. On one hand, the Shaanxi had many female soldiers, and on the other hand, the Shaanxi had many allies, so the situation there was extremely complicated! Furthermore, the Imperial Guard, Jingyuan Army and Tsinghua Army had experienced a huge battle and had suffered heavy casualties. They needed to replenish their manpower! Chang'an had just been beaten down and needed to be nurtured and rested. It was necessary to allow the people living in these places to live their lives first. Hence, the war here had come to a halt in a short period of time!

However, in the Henan Central Plains, this place was still a battlefield!

Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Loushi brought the one hundred and fifty thousand women's true army to this place, while Zong Ze set up more than two million army here!

Zong Ze was also a famous official of the generation, he was quite smart, and at this moment, Zong Ze was actually using the east side of the river's guerrilla warfare tactics! The two million strong army were spread out in all parts of the Central Plains. They did not fight directly with the Nvzhen, but only kept ambushing his grain path, causing him to run for his life!

Occasionally, Zong Ze would command his army and launch an attack, causing a lot of damage to the Nvzhen!

Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Loushi are trapped here, and it's hard to get out for a while!

However, the two of them were just fidgety and did not seem worried at all! From their point of view, these allied forces could only do guerrilla warfare. Wanting to cause large-scale damage to the female army was almost impossible!

They were only waiting for the arrival of the food. At that time, they would no longer care about these things and would head south!

On the third day of the second month, Wanyan Loushi was in the Kaifeng City, where they had already beaten him down once again! At this moment, a few female soldiers ran over!

"What happened?" Wanyan Loushi immediately asked.

"General, it's not good, the Guan Shan's Han people are attacking, General Wan Yanhuonv was defeated by them, whether she is dead or alive is unknown!" A Nvzhen said as she knelt on the ground.

"What?" How is that possible? " Wanyan Loushi was surprised, and said.

He frowned, and shook his head after a while: "This is definitely not true! The Chinese are incompetent and weak, they will not be our match! The living daughter has many soldiers and horses, us women can't be a match for them, we definitely can't lose! "

The Nvzhen kneeling below said, "General, this is true, it is absolutely true!"

Wanyan Loushi felt a little anxious in his heart, and said: "I'll go tell the Second Crown Prince, if possible, I'll go back to take a look!"

asked to see Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zongwang thought that Wanyan Loushi was overthinking, but Wanyan Loushi was very persistent, so Wanyan Zongwang asked Wanyan Loushi to lead ten thousand people to Tongguan!

With that, Wanyan Loushi led the ten thousand people to the north. On the seventh day of the second month, they arrived in front of the Yellow River. At this time, the Yellow River had still not been unsealed, they stepped onto the ice on the Yellow River, and when they reached the bottom of Tongguan, Wanyan Loushi shouted: "Quickly open the city gate!"
