The twelfth month, the morning hour of Mao

Zhang Shizheng led his army to Bianjing and controlled the city gates... Tong Shimin commanded the guards' personal army to control the palace and the east and west governments.

The mutiny in Bianjing was quietly going on in the darkness, and everything was steadily advancing according to Tong Guan's deployment.

The old emperor re-asserted the throne. The first edict he issued was to move the capital. The entire court moved to the southeast. Then he left the palace, hurried onto the ship, and rushed to Nanjing. He had already learned a profound lesson. At this moment, for him, escaping from Bianjing was the top priority, and other matters were left to Tong Guan and Zhang Bangchang.

At the beginning of Chen, officials from the east and west governments gathered in the court.

Zhang Bangchang read out the order. The court was in an uproar and all officials were disgraced. Overnight, the sky in Bianjing changed, and this earth-shaking change would definitely bring an immeasurable blow to the Song Dynasty.

Zhang Bangchang focused on two things.

The emperor held Li Hu, and Li Hu was not the emperor who ordered the world, but to seize the great Song Dynasty step by step. Therefore, the Song Dynasty wanted to save itself, and the only way to save itself was to rebuild the court in the southeast under the leadership of the old emperor, first protect half of the country, and then wait for an opportunity to attack the north and revive the Song Dynasty.

Secondly, the Jin Dynasty invaded the south with the power of the whole country, and Li Hu wanted to seize the great Song Dynasty. In the future, the two would compete for the Central Plains. If the two tigers fought each other, one would be injured. If the imperial court moved the capital to the southeast, it could firmly take the initiative in the future world. If Li Hu was strong, it would join forces with Jin to attack Li Hu. If the Jin thieves were strong, it could join forces with Li Hu to fight against the Jin thieves. This was the main strategy to ensure half of the country in the future. Therefore, the imperial court should be determined to move the capital and abandon Bian Jing.

All officials have a relatively high view of the situation in the world today. The main forces of the Song Dynasty were in the north, but because the Northwest Army suffered heavy damage and reduced its strength, the Tiger and Lieutenant Army basically controlled the fate of the Song Dynasty. The collapse of the Song Dynasty's finances pushed the country to the brink of defeat. Sooner or later, the Song Dynasty would fall into Li Hu's hands. If it were not for Li Hu, the Song Dynasty might have drew a river with the Jin Kingdom. If it weren't for Li Hu, it would have been possible to confront the Jin Kingdom. If it weren't for Li Hu, it would be possible to confront the Jin Kingdom. If it weren't for Li Hu, it would be different. Li Hu would have to eat the Song Dynasty in one bite, so Li Hu's threat to the Song Dynasty was much greater than that of the Jin thieves.

Now that there is a chance to get rid of Li and ensure half of the country, the officials will certainly not miss it. At this moment, no one takes it for granted that the Song Dynasty still has the strength to resist the Jin thieves and the Han thief Li Hu at the same time. Therefore, some officials agreed to the proposal to move the capital. However, under the coercion of Zhang Bangchang and Tong Guan, the officials were forced to accept it.

Tong Guan ordered the officials of the East and West governments, royal families, princesses, and concubines from the harem of the old emperor immediately evacuated Bianjing from the water.

The officials and their families were protected by the army at dusk. They went south from Yingtian Prefecture along with the money and materials withdrawn from Bianjing.

The news of the evacuation site must be kept absolutely confidential to avoid the chaos in Bianjing, which will affect the speed of retreat.

Tong Guan wanted to grab the time. He wanted to withdraw the old emperor, court officials, royal princess, and concubines from Bianjing as quickly as possible, so from the old emperor to ordinary officials, he could take away land and property very limited, even so. Tong Guan still felt that the evacuation speed was too slow, and he ordered the generals of the army several times. He strictly acted according to the scheduled deployment. If there was any delay, he would be killed and not forgive him.

On the evening of the 12th, the Baima of Huazhou and the Marshal's Mansion in the Northwest was camped.

Li Hu was waiting for news from Zhang Shizheng and Xin Xingzong. After receiving the order from the Privy Council, the two armies immediately reported their itinerary to the Marshal's Office, but strangely, the Marshal's Office has not received letters from two people so far.

Li Hu had a premonition that something happened. Zhang Shizheng and Xin Xingzong were Tong Guan’s confidants, and Tong Guan had always placed these two troops near the capital. When he suddenly ordered the call, it would obviously stimulate Tong Guan. Similarly, this order would also stimulate Zhe Yanzhi. If Tong Guan and Zhe Yanzhi fought in the capital, the situation would develop in the direction they needed.

Just as Li Hu was thinking about everything in the tent, Yuanye hurriedly walked in.

"General General, something might happen to Bianjing." Yuanye said nervously, "Jiangshu Zuo Cheng Wang Yu told me just now that Bianjing did not deliver the memorial within the scheduled time." The emperor personally led the expedition, and Bianjing had to submit important memorials to the camp every day. Usually, messengers arrived at noon at the latest, but today they were already three hours late.

Li Hu frowned slightly and asked, "Has Zhang Shizheng and Xin Xingzong sent a letter yet?"

Yuanye shook his head, "Do you want to send someone to Bianjing right away?"

"Are you worried about something wrong?" Li Hu smiled, "If Tong Guan launched a mutiny in Bianjing, he would definitely tell Liu Yanqing to let Liu Yanqing do something helpful here. I think it's normal for Liu Yanqing, and there should be no accident in Bianjing."

"Yesterday Xin Xingzhong left the army camp in front of the palace, and I thought there was something wrong at that time." Yuan Ye approached Li Hu and whispered, "Xin Xingzhong is Xin Xingzong's younger brother. Why did he leave suddenly? There is something abnormal in Bianjing today. Don't you think there is a relationship between the two?"

Li Hu shook his hand and deliberately pretended to disapprove it, "Something might have happened to Bianjing, but

It will definitely cover the sky with one hand."

Yuanye hesitated for a long time and whispered: "For caution, I will transfer Xiao Yun's horse army from Li Yang to prevent accidents." Li Hu only brought four thousand tiger guards, but he had to take into account his own safety, so he deliberately left 10,000 Khitan horse army in Li Yang to support at any time.

"What? Are you worried that Liu Yanqing will attack me?" Li Hu asked.

"If Zhang Shizheng and Xin Xingzong arrive at the front line of the Yellow River, then Tong Guan's people will have an absolute advantage. How can the safety of the general commander be guaranteed?" Yuan Ye said, "In my opinion, it is better to transfer Xiao Yun over overnight."

Chai Yun also came at this time. He had just been with the emperor, and the emperor was also very worried that something happened to Huai Bianjing, and he was worried that people in the northwest would kill Tong Guan.

This time, the Northwest people were killed and injured on the front line of Luhe. Zhe Yanzhi was extremely angry. If the Northwest people joined hands and secretly colluded with each other and joined forces inside and outside, it would be very likely that Tong Guan would be killed. Although Liu Yanqing, Xin Xingzong, Liu and others were all Tong Guan's confidants, Tong Guan was not from the Northwest people after all, and Tong Guan was in a difficult situation under the current situation. Who can guarantee that Liu Yanqing and others would continue to follow Tong Guan? Kill Tong Guan, the Northwest people and the Chinese officials in the Northwest can fight against Li Hu. This is also the path that the Northwest people must take after killing Tong Guan. Otherwise, with their strength, how can they fight against Li Hu?

Li Hu really hoped that Tong Guan would lose both sides with Northwest, but the premise was that he could not suffer any losses himself, so he considered it over and over again and accepted the advice of Chai Yun and Yuanye, and ordered Xiao Yun to arrive at the emperor's camp before dawn.

Li Hu did not go to comfort the emperor, but was wary of Liu Yanqing's sudden attack, while anxiously waiting for news from the scout.

In the early morning of the 13th, Xiao Yun brought ten thousand cavalry to join. The arrival of the Tiger and Fierce Horse Army made the emperor very nervous, and Liu Yanqing and the front army in the palace were even more alert.

At 3 o'clock in the morning, the scouts who came to Bianjing to investigate the news finally returned. The scouts were one by three horses, galloping back and forth for more than 400 miles within eight hours, and everyone was exhausted. The news they brought back shocked the emperor and Li Hu. The city of Bianjing was blocked by the Shengjie Army and only went out but not in. The people who came out went south by the Bian River and land respectively.

Li Hu was stunned immediately. Tong Guan won, and Tong Guan led the old emperor and court officials to flee to the southeast.

He was a little confused. On that day, Zhe Yanzhi was not confident and said that everything was arranged and that he could kill Tong Guan as long as he received the emperor's imperial edict. Why did Tong Guan completely control Bian Jing overnight?

The emperor also knew the bad things, especially when Li Hu told him that there was definite evidence that Tong Guan led the old emperor to flee to the southeast and planned to rebuild the court and split the Song Dynasty, he was so angry that he cursed and almost went crazy. Tong Guan abandoned him, and at the most critical moment, Tong Guan actually betrayed him and abandoned him, which made him angry, desperate, lost his mind for a while, and yelled and scolded hysterically.

If Tong Guan succeeded, the old emperor and ministers in the court successfully fled to the southeast, then the Song Dynasty would definitely be divided, and he would inevitably become Li Hu's puppet. In time, Li Hu fought south and north, swept the country, and unified the world, his puppet life would come to an end, and the Song Dynasty would naturally perish.

How did things turn out like this? Was Tong Guan crazy? Did the old emperor and the ministers in the court all go crazy with Tong Guan? They thought that by relying on half of the country, they could fight against Li Hu, resist the Jin thieves, and protect the great Song Dynasty? Of course, from their standpoint, this method is also very clever. If you give up, you will gain something. Who dares to say that their strategy will not be successful? But Emperor Zhao Kai knew that this strategy would definitely not be successful.

According to the earliest strategy, Zhao Kai and Tong Guan went to the southeast to guard half of the country, and the Song Dynasty was still a whole, while Li Hu became an invader. The Han thieves and the Jin thieves would both become targets of the people of the Song Dynasty. But now the Song Dynasty has split, with a court in the southeast and a court in the northwest, and the two emperors divided the Song Dynasty into two. It is conceivable what the final result would be.

"Chasing me, chase them up and kill them all, without leaving any one." The emperor widened his blood-red eyes and roared at Li Hu desperately.

Li Hu had to admire Tong Guan. This eunuch was so powerful that he made a heavy blow to him. The most serious consequence of the split of the Song Dynasty was that he would fight against the Jin army alone with the support of the Southeast money and food. In this way, the Hu Lie Army fell into a hard battle. Once Hebei was lost, the Central Plains would fall into war and eventually he could only retreat to the northwest. Next, the Southeast Song court would inevitably negotiate peace with the Jin Kingdom, form an alliance, and join forces to attack the northwest. Life for the Hu Lie Army would become increasingly difficult.

"Chasing..." Li Hu ordered decisively, "All horse soldiers gallop day and night to kill Yingtian Mansion."
