Regarding Song Emperor Zhao Zhen's words, Concubine Wu couldn't help but tremble. Concubine Wu was not an ordinary woman. She had a brain and was good at thinking. She knew that someone with the status of Emperor Zhao Zhen would never talk so much just to recruit her.

Nonsense. Although she didn’t know what Song Emperor Zhao Zhen meant when she said this, Concubine Wu still felt a little panicked. However, Concubine Wu calmed her mind and said coldly: "You can’t deceive me with your nonsense."

Although Wu Guifei tried her best to hide it, how could she hide it from Song Emperor Zhao Zhen's eyes? The smile on Song Emperor Zhao Zhen's face became thicker and she said to Wu Guifei: "Wu Guifei, don't mention it far away, just take this time

You, Fan Zongyin, and Qin Hui conspired to rob Zhao Gou out of Jiangling. I have to say that your plan this time was very careful. Although I had taken precautions before, you still managed to rob Zhao Gou out of Jiangling.

From this point alone, I have to admire Fan Zongyin and Qin Hui."

Hearing what Song Emperor Zhao Zhen said, although she was very angry with Song Emperor Zhao Zhen, Concubine Wu was still somewhat secretly happy. However, Song Emperor Zhao Zhen quickly changed her words and said: "It's just that you are so

As a result, instead of bringing any benefits to the Song Dynasty, it actually harmed Zhao Gou. Concubine Wu had been in prison during this period and did not know what the situation was like outside. Although Zhao Gou was sent out of Jiangling by General Wu Guifei,

In the end, he died tragically in a county town."

"What?" Concubine Wu couldn't sit still anymore. As Emperor Zhao Zhen of the Song Dynasty said, Concubine Wu had been locked up here since she was captured by the masters of the guards that night. This guard's cell is not

Compared to the ordinary prison outside, the guards here are all strictly trained guards. Without orders from above, they will not say a word to Concubine Wu.

So until now, Concubine Wu didn't know the news of Zhao Gou's death. Concubine Wu immediately stood up, like a wounded beast, and rushed towards Song Emperor Zhao Zhen crazily, still saying "

Roaring: "It's you! It's you who killed Zhao Gou! It's you who killed Zhao Gou, right?"

Concubine Wu's sudden movement shocked the guards nearby. Song Emperor Zhao Zhen is the current Lord of the Song Dynasty! How could something go wrong here? They all pulled out their weapons immediately.

They guarded Song Emperor Zhao Zhen with their swords, pointing the blade at Wu Guifei. However, their worries seemed unnecessary, because although Wu Guifei tried her best to rush in front of Song Emperor Zhao Zhen, she could not wait for her to walk out for a few seconds.

The iron chains on his hands and feet restricted his movement, and Wu Guifei even fell heavily to the ground because of excessive force.

From the beginning to the end, Emperor Zhao Zhen of the Song Dynasty did not show any surprise, and always remained calm. He even had time to look back at Ma Kuo, but his expression did not change much when he saw Ma Kuo. This is what Emperor Song Emperor Zhao Zhen is.

Showing approval, he waved his hand to signal the guards who came to escort him to retreat. Looking back at Concubine Wu, Song Emperor Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "You are right, Zhao Gou did die in

Not only Zhao Gou, but also Fan Zongyin and Qin Hui died in the army. The person who murdered Zhao Gou was Liu Tong. This time I attacked Liu Tong to avenge Zhao Gou. Now Nan'an Military City and Luzhou have already

It fell into my hands. Liu Tong also died in battle at the head of the Nan'an army. Thanks to you, I have one less enemy."

Song Emperor Zhao Zhen's words were like steel needles, pricking Wu Guifei's heart. She never expected that the plan that Fan Zongyin and Qin Hui had worked so hard to arrange would not only fail.

After successfully rescuing Zhao Gou, he ended up in this situation instead.

Concubine Wu was lying on the ground, raised her head, her eyes were wide open, staring at Song Emperor Zhao Zhen fiercely, and she tried her best to grab Song Emperor Zhao Zhen with both hands, but she had no choice but to be restrained by the iron chain.

, it was impossible to do what he wanted. With that look, he just wanted to eat Song Emperor Zhao Zhen alive.

Ma Kuo, who was behind Song Emperor Zhao Zhen, was also full of confusion at this moment. What did Song Emperor Zhao Zhen mean when he brought him to see Wu Guifei this time? Now Song Emperor Zhao Zhen's words can only stimulate Wu.

The imperial concubine resented Song Emperor Zhao Zhen more and more. However, although Ma Kuo had doubts in his heart, he still suppressed the doubts in his heart and stood honestly behind Song Emperor Zhao Zhen, watching what Song Emperor Zhao Zhen was going to do next.

do something.

Song Emperor Zhao Zhen slowly squatted down, making his eyes parallel to Wu Guifei's eyes, and said with a smile: "Wu Guifei, you hate me now, don't you? But have you ever thought about who is this?

Caused by this? Originally, Zhao Gou was living in the palace. Even if I had a disobedient heart, if there was no excuse, I would not risk the disapproval of the world to do anything to Zhao Gou. I would only make a smooth northern expedition to the Kingdom of Jin.

Welcoming the Second Emperor, if you had not done such a series of things, Zhao Gou would not have left Jiangling, and the tragedy would not have happened. It can be said that the ones who killed Zhao Gou were you, the so-called loyal ministers of the Song Dynasty."

As soon as Song Emperor Zhao Zhen finished speaking, Wu Guifei's body also trembled. Although Song Emperor Zhao Zhen's words sounded very ridiculous on the surface, Wu Guifei had to admit that Song Emperor Zhao Zhen said after reflection in her heart.

It makes sense. In other words, to a certain extent, they did kill Zhao Gou. This made Concubine Wu, who had always believed that everything she did was for Zhao Gou, suddenly feel that the value of her existence was gone.

Concubine Wu no longer struggled, she just stood there, her face turned pale.

Seeing Concubine Wu's appearance, Song Emperor Zhao Zhen nodded slightly. Immediately, Song Emperor Zhao Zhen stood up and said to the guards on the left and right: "Remove the iron chains on Concubine Wu's hands and feet, and have a full meal today. Here.

She wore a ribbon to apologize for her dead brother Zhao Gou! Ma Aiqing, let’s go!” The last words were said to Ma Kuo behind him. After saying that, Song Emperor Zhao Zhen turned around and left, while Ma Kuo

Kaoya was just stunned for a moment, and immediately followed him.

After Song Emperor Zhao Zhen and Ma Kuo left Concubine Wu, they did not leave the guard's residence immediately. Instead, they turned left and right and came to Yao Da's office. They entered the only room with fresh air in the cell.

, Ma Kuo's complexion also improved a lot. When he saw Song Emperor Zhao Zhen and Ma Kuo coming, Yao Da, who was sitting in front of his desk handling official business, quickly stood up and bowed to Song Emperor Zhao Zhen and Ma Kuo:

"I see you, your lord, Mr. Prime Minister."

"Yao Da, please get up quickly." Song Emperor Zhao Zhen immediately helped Yao Da up. Yao Da is now in his thirties and nearly forty years old, and his complexion still looks like he is in his twenties or thirties. Song Dynasty

After Emperor Zhao Zhen helped Yao Da up, Song Emperor Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "I am here this time just to see if there is any latest information from the disc department?" There are only three people here, Song Emperor Zhao Zhen, Yao Da and Ma Kuo.

Regarding Yao Da, Emperor Zhao Zhen of the Song Dynasty did not regard him as an outsider, so naturally he no longer called me a Taoist.

Although during this period, the bodyguard army has been doing nothing but fighting and killing, the original purpose of the bodyguard army established by Emperor Zhao Zhen of the Song Dynasty was to collect intelligence. Obviously Yao Da has never forgotten his responsibilities.

After hearing Song Emperor Zhao Zhen's inquiry, Yao Da immediately said: "I have some important news to report to you." After saying that, Yao Da turned around and came to the desk where he had just been working, and picked up the

I got three pieces of brocade silk and presented them to Song Emperor Zhao Zhen.

Song Emperor Zhao Zhen took the brocade silk but did not open it directly. Instead, he handed it to Ma Kuo behind him. Seeing Song Emperor Zhao Zhen's actions, Yao Da certainly guessed what Song Emperor Zhao Zhen meant. This was

It was necessary to let Ma Kuo take over the important government affairs of the Song Army step by step. So Yao Da also immediately began to narrate: "The first intelligence came from Nanxiong Prefecture. Half a month ago, Gao An's first think tank, Tong Wenbo, secretly entered Nanxiong Prefecture.

Met with Liu Yi and Zhao Guang. As for the content of their meeting, the spies did not obtain any information."

Emperor Zhao Zhen of the Song Dynasty nodded and did not mean to blame. Liu Yi, Zhao Guang and Tong Wenbo talked secretly. It must be that there are three levels of martial law inside and outside. No matter how powerful the spies of the Disc Department are, they cannot find out.

The content of the secret conversation. But this news alone was enough to make Song Emperor Zhao Zhen frown.

After learning that Nanxiong Prefecture had been captured by the coalition forces of Gao An and Liu Yi, Song Emperor Zhao Zhen did not immediately order an attack on Nanxiong Prefecture. He was worried about what Tong Wenbo and Zhao Guang, two resourceful masters, might do. Fu Xuan and Ji Qian

Qian also held the same opinion. Liu Yi and Gao An are currently united because of the pressure from the Song army. If Song Emperor Zhao Zhen forcibly attacks Nanxiong Prefecture, they will inevitably be forced to join forces to resist the Song army.

, plus there is Xia Cheng who is watching over there. Moreover, the three main armies and the most elite imperial guards are all fighting against the Jin people in the north. The southern legion built by Zhao Zhen alone may not necessarily belong to others.

Opponent, so this battle is definitely not easy to win.

Instead of taking risks, it is better to retreat temporarily. If there is no pressure from the Song army, neither Liu Yi nor Gao An is easy to do, and maybe they will have a big fight by then. Emperor Zhao Zhen of the Song Dynasty can also sit back and take it easy.

Fisherman's profit.

However, it is not easy to achieve such a goal. As Yao Da just read the information, it is impossible for Tong Wenbo and Zhao Guang not to see what Song Emperor Zhao Zhen had planned. This time Tong Wenbo rushed to Nanxiong Prefecture, he would definitely

It was for the alliance between the two parties. After thinking for a moment, Emperor Song Emperor Zhao Zhen already had an idea. He turned to Ma Kuo, who was looking down at the information, and asked: "Prime Minister Ma, what do you think of this?"

Ma Kuo thought for a while and replied: "Your Majesty, the alliance between Gao An and Liu Yi will not weaken in a short period of time. Your Majesty must not take any action against Fujian Road at this stage. That will only irritate Gao An and Liu Yizhi."

The alliance between them became stronger. Therefore, as a current plan, General Wang Zongshi and General Wang Hu were ordered to carefully guard the border and beware of any tricks the enemy might use. Gao An and Liu Yi are both ambitious people. Over time, they saw what they expected.

If the danger does not appear, they will inevitably plot against each other. As long as there is a loophole in one party, General Wang Zongshi and General Wang Hu can attack Fujian Road with a thunderous army and capture Gao An and Liu Yi in one fell swoop."

Song Emperor Zhao Zhen was also very satisfied with Ma Kuo's answer. This statement was almost the same as the previous suggestions made by Fu Xuan, Ji Qianqian and others.

Seeing that Song Emperor Zhao Zhen stopped talking, Yao Da immediately read the second piece of information. He said: "Wang Kang's troops who withdrew from Chengxiang, Meizhou, have withdrawn to Shangrao. According to Feidie in Shangrao City,

According to the information that came back, after Wang Kang and Xia Shanyue returned to Shangrao, Xia Cheng ordered people to treat them. Lin Tao asked Xia Cheng to be punished, but Xia Cheng refused and ordered Lin Tao to lead troops to garrison Tanzhou."

"Hey." Song Emperor Zhao Zhen sneered. He was not surprised by the news. When Song Emperor Zhao Zhen ordered the retreat from Meizhou Chengxiang, he knew that the Xia army stationed in Meizhou Chengxiang would not be able to stay for too long.

Xia Cheng's purpose of sending this army was probably to take advantage of the battle between Song Emperor Zhao Zhen and Liu Tong. However, Xia Cheng never expected that Liu Tong would let Liu Yi take all the troops.

The horses were all transferred, and a battle between the Nan'an Army ended so quickly. In addition, in Chengxiang, Meizhou, Wang Kang could not hold back and took the initiative to fight against Song Emperor Zhao Zhen's army. This time, the Xia Army had torn apart the two sides.

According to the covenant, if they still stay in Chengxiang, Meizhou, then when the Song army arrives, they will not be able to leave even if they want to.

However, this matter was not entirely in line with Song Emperor Zhao Zhen's wishes. The most troublesome thing was that Wang Kang survived. Although Wang Kang was reckless and impulsive, his martial arts skills could be dealt with by ordinary generals. This made Song Emperor Zhao Zhen feel

I have a headache. If Xia Cheng is supplemented by a resourceful person like Lin Tao, then Wang Kang will definitely become a serious problem for Song Emperor Zhao Zhen in the future. But there is no use thinking about it now, we can only wait for the next time

, Wang Kang must be killed to avoid future troubles.

Song Emperor Zhao Zhen secretly made up his mind, but said nothing. Seeing Song Emperor Zhao Zhen's appearance, Yao Da continued: "The third news comes from the border of the Jinbing occupied area. General Guan Tianxia

On the order of the Lord, he led troops back from the border of the area occupied by the Jin soldiers and stationed them in the two Zhejiang areas. Wanyan Bao, the commander of the Jin army, also led troops to the border where Guan Tianxia was garrisoned. The main forces of Marshal Yue Fei and Marshal Wang Jin were

Confronted with the Jin soldiers Wushu, the commander-in-chief of the Jin army, Wanyan Zonghan, the prime minister of the country, Wanyan Bao, the commander of the Jin army, King Longhu and other Jin soldiers. Until half a month ago, the two armies had already had no less than ten frictions, and our army won many times.

The defeat was small. However, because we were all recuperating, neither the enemy nor we launched a large-scale war."

"General Guan Tianxia, ​​in accordance with His Majesty's wishes, did not take the initiative to attack Shangrao after occupying the two Zhejiang areas. Instead, he dispersed his troops across the border and harassed the Xia army's border with small groups of troops. Xia Ting of the Xia family army came with his troops.

Confrontation, now, the two armies are confronting each other in Quzhou."

"Well! The situation in the north is quite stable. Is it Xia Ting who is the one who takes action from the Xia family?" After hearing the news, Song Emperor Zhao Zhen began to think deeply again, rubbing the beard on his chin with his hand.

It was not because the war at the border of the area occupied by the Jin soldiers worried Song Emperor Zhao Zhen. On the contrary, the development of the border war in the area occupied by the Jin soldiers was exactly what Song Emperor Zhao Zhen wanted.

Although Xia Ting, who confronted Guan Tianxia in Quzhou, was once considered the most powerful master among the Xia family's children, he was still inferior to Guan Tianxia. In addition, his experience in leading troops in combat was far inferior to Guan Tianxia.

So it's no big deal. Moreover, Guan Tianxia followed Song Emperor Zhao Zhen's order and did not take the initiative to attack, otherwise Xia Ting would have been defeated long ago.

What Song Emperor Zhao Zhen was thinking about was not at all about the war, but about the appearance of Xia Ting. Xia Ting and other Xia family members were young and talented, but their only shortcoming was the lack of sufficient training.

.To deal with them, it is more appropriate to use old people, because old age makes ginger more spicy.

Thinking of this, Song Emperor Zhao Zhen's eyes lit up, he turned to look at Ma Kuo beside him, nodded slightly, and already had a plan in his mind.

Quzhou City is located at the junction of Quzhou and Xinzhou. Although it is a big city, because it is between the two major forces, the city defenses of Quzhou City are stronger and taller than those of those big cities. With such a strong and tall city defense, Quzhou City is also

Gradually it became prosperous.

At the south gate of Quzhou City, people were coming in and out, but the guards at the gate did not check one by one. As long as they were not too excessive, the guards would not step forward to stop them. In the distance, more than four thousand people were scattered.
