Up, Tong Guan returned to the mansion and headed straight to the study...

In the study, Tong Shimin accompanied Zhang Shizheng and Xin Xingzong was talking.

Seeing Tong Guan coming in, Zhang Shizheng and Xin Xingzong hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Tong Guan waved his hand to the two of them and signaled them to sit down. He also sat behind the desk, with a serious expression and kept silent. Zhang Shizheng and Xin Xingzong looked at each other and noticed that Tong Guan was full of worries and became nervous involuntarily.

Zhang Shi was the commander of the Shengjie Army and stationed in the capital; Xin Xingzong was the commander of the imperial guards of Jingdong Road, stationed troops in Huazhou. Because the emperor wanted to lead the army in person, the Privy Council summoned the commanders of various armies from the capital to the capital to make specific arrangements, Xin Xingzong returned to the capital. In the past, these two were both lower-level officers of the Northwest Army. They have followed Tong Guan since Tong Guan presided over the military. In total, it has been more than 20 years. They can be said to be Tong Guan's absolute confidant.

Tong Shimin handed Tong a cup of tea, then sat down on his head and asked in a low voice: "I heard that the King of Han is going to Bianjing, is that true?"

Zhang Shizheng and Xin Xingzong looked at Tong Guan at the same time, with a look of attention. This news came out this afternoon, and Bianjing was shocked immediately and people were in panic. Li Hu stationed troops in Luoyang and stared at Bianjing. At this moment, the battle situation in Hebei was tense. The Northwest Army went north to fight against the Jin Dynasty. The troops in the capital were empty and he was no match for Li Hu at all.

"The Tiger Lie Army leader has crossed the Yellow River and arrived in Huaizhou." Tong Guan took a sip of tea and whispered, "The King of Han brought four thousand tiger guards to Bianjing and said he wanted to protect the emperor."

"Protect the car?" Tong Shimin sneered, "If he wants to protect the car, he should take the Hu Lie Army to Hebei to fight. In my opinion, his protection is fake and forced the emperor to be true."

"If the King of Han coerces the emperor, what should we do in the south?" Zhang Shizheng asked anxiously, "Although the four thousand tiger guards are insignificant, Li Hu is enough to shock Bianjing with these four thousand tiger guards and force the emperor to cross the river and go north. If the emperor does not cross the river, the main force of the Tiger and Lie Army will not enter the Hebei battlefield, and they can attack Bianjing at any time. Now the main force of the Northwest Army has entered the Hebei battlefield to effectively block the Jin army. With them to block the Jin people for Li Hu, it is no problem for the Tiger and Lie Army to take Bianjing. If Li Hu really wants to fight Bianjing, how can we resist?"

Tong Guan told Zhang Shizheng and Xin Xingzong at the beginning of his plan. These two armies were crucial to Tong Guan. Although Sima Zhubanzhi and the Beijing Garrison Army were also controlled by Tong Guan, these armies had long been extremely strong at the feet of the emperor. There were too many internal factions and were mixed. Tong Guan was eager to control them firmly, so if you want to succeed, you have to rely on Shengjie Army and Jingdong Imperial Army.

The Jingdong ban of Xinxingzong was established on the basis of the Northwest military and local areas. Xinxingzong was a general of the Northwest Army in the past. Later, he led his army to suppress rebellions in Hebei, Shandong and other places. He recruited a large number of local rebels and supplemented and expanded the Jingdong ban. Therefore, the combat effectiveness of this army was much stronger than that of the Beijing garrison.

Because Tong Guan had to rely on Shengjie Army and Jingdong Imperial Army to prepare for the preliminary preparations for the migration to the south. Therefore, Zhang Shizheng and Xin Xingzong both directly participated in the migration to the south. The situation in the recent situation has changed too quickly. Bianjing is in great danger. Tong Shimin had to postpone the transition to the south again and again. Zhang Shizheng and Xin Xingzong were even more cautious, for fear of leaking the secret of the world.

"The Prime Minister Li Hu suddenly came to Bianjing. He wanted to coerce the emperor to the battlefield in Hebei. Didn't he hear anything?" Xin Xingzong obviously thought more. "Isn't it leaked the emperor's move to Jiangning?"

Xin Xingzong was not loud, but it sounded like thunder in Zhang Shizheng and Tong Shimin Di's ears. They were immediately frightened and changed their color. If the news of moving south was leaked, the consequences were even more serious than peace talks. After all, peace talks were considered passive defense. But moving south was to escape. Abandoning the capital and fleeing was equivalent to escaping the country and fleeing. Who can bear this guilt? Even if Li Hu killed them all, Bian Jing would have no objection. On the contrary, he would applaud and celebrate.

Tong Guan narrowed his eyes slightly and was speechless for a long time. After a while, he gently put down the teacup and sighed. "The situation is very unfavorable to us."

"Some time ago, the people of the Northwest had to compete for power, but they had to be on guard against Li Hu. In order to maintain the stability of Bian Jing and avoid confronting the people of the Northwest, Li Hu acquiesced to control the power, so the Bian Jing formed a three-way situation. Now the Jin Hu was moving south in a large scale, and the people of the Northwest were defeated repeatedly on the battlefield in Hebei, which led to the main force of the Northwest Army having to go north to support. In this way, the situation of the three-way situation was broken. In order to preserve their strength, the people of the Northwest had to ask for help from Li Hu, and may even bow to Li Hu."

Tong Guan stopped when he said this. Tong Shimin, Zhang Shizheng and Xin Xingzong were heartbroken, and the vest was cold.

"Li Hu brought four thousand tiger guards to approach Bian Jing and coerced the emperor to march in person. This is a gesture, forcing the people of the northwest to make a choice. If the people of the northwest continue to fight against Li Hu, the main force of the Tiger and Li Hu will hesitate on the north bank of the Yellow River, and the Northwest Army will definitely be severely damaged. On the contrary, the people of the northwest are willing to use it for Li Hu and obey Li Hu's orders, then the situation in Bian Jing is that Li Hu and I are directly confronting each other. In this case, I dare to stop the emperor from march in person? The emperor dares to resist Li Hu's coercion?"

"If the emperor commands the emperor personally commands the army and is coerced by Li Hu, we will die." Zhang Shizheng looked frightened and couldn't help but interrupt Tong Guan. "If the emperor commands, before Li Hu arrived in Bianjing, we will take the emperor to go south immediately, otherwise we will not be able to escape."

Tong Guan glanced at him, with a hint of disdain on his lips, "So far, the Northwest people are still very strong, and they are enough to compete with Li Hu.

He will bow to Li Hu, so Li Hu still needs us, and we will keep our time."

"Dad, even if we still have time, we don't have an emperor." Tong Shimin smiled bitterly, "The emperor was held hostage by Li Hu. How can we rebuild the court when we go south?"

Tong Guan was silent for a moment and whispered: "I just came out of Longde Palace."

Tong Shimin's face suddenly became stiff and he was stunned. Zhang Shizheng and Xin Xingzong felt suffocated and their breathing became heavy immediately.

Tong Guan was forced to abandon the emperor and took the old emperor south to Jiangning to rebuild the court, but this meant that the Song Dynasty would split and a civil war would break out. At this critical moment, the Song Dynasty might have a destruction as a result of the split. This was terrible. Originally, going south to rebuild the court was to do its best to protect the national fortune, but now it is reversed and we have to destroy the national fortune with our own hands.

"These are...the consequences are conceivable." Xin Xingzong swallowed his saliva with difficulty and said in a trembling voice.

"If we don't do this, we will die | we will be killed by Li Hu soon." Tong Guan sighed bitterly, "We are all dead. The Northwest people have lost their strength and have to rely on Emperor Li Hu and be held hostage by Li Hu. You can think about it, what will happen next?"

Next, Li will of course usurpate the enemy and imitate Taizu's "yellow robe", which is completely foreseeable.

Tong Shimin took a few breaths quickly and lowered his voice and said, "Dad, we will definitely split when we take the Supreme Emperor to the Jiangnan Song Dynasty."

"The Song Dynasty has come to this point today, and it is inevitable to split." Tong Guan shook his head repeatedly, with a sad look on his face. "We and the Supreme Emperor are in the southeast. With the natural danger of the Jianghuai River, we can at least protect half of the country. This is better than the defeat of the country."

Inside the house; in silence, the atmosphere is extremely depressing.

"What do you think of the Supreme Emperor?" Xin Zong suddenly broke the suffocating silence.

"The Supreme Emperor agrees." Tong Guan took out a yellow silk from his close-fitting clothes. "The Supreme Emperor authorizes me to launch a mutiny in Bianjing."

Late at night, a carriage quietly drove into Zhe Mansion.

Zhe Yanzhi stood outside the study and saw Cao coming in a hurry, hurriedly greeting him, "Is it safe on the road?"

"I went around a few big circles before coming over, and no one would find out." Cao grabbed Zhe Yanzhi's arm with a nervous look, pulled him into the study and closed the door tightly, "At dusk, Tong Guan went to Longde Palace."

"What?" Zhe Yan was surprised, "The news is accurate?"

"Absolutely accurate." Cao said, "Just just came out of the forbidden area this afternoon that the King of Han was going to Bianjing with four thousand tiger guards, and then Tong Guan entered Longde Palace at dusk. What does this mean?"

Zhe Yanzhi frowned and kept stroking his beard without saying a word.

"Tong Guan is anxious to jump over the wall. He wants to escape and take the Supreme Emperor to flee to the southeast to rebuild the court." Cao said coldly, "This is an opportunity to kill Tong Guan."

Zhe Yanzhi reached out to ask Cao to sit down, and then poured Cao a cup of tea himself. During this period, he kept thinking, but Cao didn't say anything, staring at Zhe Yanzhi tightly, waiting for him to make an idea.

"The Shengjie Army is now outside the city. If nothing unexpected happens, this army will not follow the emperor's command in person." Zhe Yan sat opposite Cao and said slowly, "There must be at least one army in front of the palace and the guards and infantry army to guard the capital, or two, but Tong Shimin's guards and horses will definitely be left behind. If we want to launch a mutiny, we must be left behind at least two garrison troops, so that we have the opportunity to fight for another garrison army to take a rebellion."

"Tong Guan hopes that all three garrison troops will be left behind." Cao sneered, "You are the Deputy Privy Councilor. As long as you make this suggestion, Tong Guan will definitely agree."

"Which one left?" Zhe Yan asked, "Liu Yanqing's Palace Front Army or Liu's Guards and Infantry?"

Cao thought for a while and said, "The old guy Liu Yanqing is unreliable. Although he took on the blame for the defeat of the Northern Expedition last time on behalf of Tong Guan, he was dismissed from his post and went home. He was resentful to Tong Guan, but Tong Guan immediately helped him regain his original position. This time he reused the relationship between the two. He may not be willing to take into account the interests of the people of the Northwest to help us kill Tong Guan."

"Liu?" Zhe Yan hesitated.

"Liu is the son of Liu Zhongwu. He was also a powerful general in the northwest in his early years. Later, he took the Gao Qiu path and became an official in the capital, so he has always been grateful to Gao Qiu." Cao said, "This time Tong Guan came back, and he was the first to kill Gao Qiu. Although Tong Guan and Liu Zhongwu had a good relationship and took good care of Liu in the capital, the matter of Tong Guan's killing Gao Qiu obviously made Liu very dissatisfied."

"Tong Guan and Gao Qiu are both birds of a feather." Zhe Yanzhi shook his head and said, "This matter is not enough to convince Liu."

"Liu Zhongwu and Yao Gu are in-laws, and Liu's wife is the daughter of the Zong family. If the Yao family and the Zong family come forward, Liu will definitely turn against him."

Zhe Yan nodded repeatedly, "You have been the commander-in-chief of the guards and horse army for more than two years. How many confidants are there?"

"Don't worry, as long as I give orders, at least half of the guards and horses will turn against each other.

"Cao's eyes showed murderous aura and said coldly, "Tong Guan, the eunuch, is dead."
