Zhao Chen was thinking about the way to bring the child into the palace, but after thinking about it, he had no idea!

He is the prince and the master of the Eastern Palace! In the Eastern Palace, everything is listened to him! Unfortunately, the Eastern Palace is only a corner of the imperial palace. If you want to enter the Eastern Palace, you must enter from other places in the imperial palace! He has no way to control the other guards, eunuchs, and palace maids in the palace! Moreover, even in the Eastern Palace, it is difficult for him to be rampant.

"The Jurchens surrounded Kaifeng, and Kaifeng will inevitably be in chaos, and there may be turmoil in the palace! At that time, maybe there will be a chance to bring the child into the palace, right?" Zhao Chen said secretly.

"Your Highness, do you still have to learn martial arts today?" Wang Dedao.

"Of course you have to learn martial arts!" Zhao Chen nodded.

That afternoon, Zhao Chen still learned swordsmanship with Wang De! Wang De's swordsmanship has made great improvements on the basis of swordsmanship in the army, which can be regarded as his original creation! This swordsmanship is extremely exquisite and murderous, but there is still a certain gap between this swordsmanship and the Dazheng swordsmanship practiced by Zhao Chen.

The Dazheng Sword Technique is a royal martial art. Zhao Chen can only practice it himself, not let Wang De guide him! Although he is practicing it himself, Zhao Chen already felt that the power of the Dazheng Sword Technique is far greater than that of the sword Technique taught by Wang De! The Dazheng Sword Technique will be extremely powerful and can be said to be unstoppable!

During the martial arts process, Zhao Chen's mood slowly calmed down! He knew that being anxious was not enough, and being anxious could not solve any problem! Now he had to wait slowly and look for opportunities slowly! In the past few months in the palace, a huge crisis was about to come, and Zhao Chen's nature has improved a lot.

The autumn rain outside was still drizzling, and the sky slowly became dark, and the candles in the Eastern Palace were lit.

That night, Zhao Chen kept Wang De for dinner again.

In the past few months, Zhao Chen and Wang De have been together almost every day. Although one is the prince and the other is a subordinate general, they are not much different from the real master and apprentice!

Of course, besides the master and apprentice, there are other relationships between the two! Zhao Chen is the crown prince, the monarch, Wang De is the general of the imperial guards, and he is the minister. The main thing is the relationship between the monarch and the minister!

Wang De was actually very grateful to Zhao Chen for his "good treatment". He could feel that Zhao Chen was intimate with him! Zhao Chen seemed to not treat him as a minister at all, but simply as a teacher, or even as a friend! Since ancient times, there has been few kings who treat his ministers like this! This made Wang De happy and a little frightened, and he was afraid that he would not be able to repay the monarch's grace of knowing his grace!

"The three northern towns have been broken. Do you think, when will the Jin soldiers reach Kaifeng?" After drinking and eating, Zhao Chen said.

"The Yellow River is in the north, and the Jin soldiers may not be able to reach Kaifeng!" Wang Dedao.

Zhao Chen shook his head, he didn't believe this! It was clearly written in the history books that the Jin soldiers did reach Kaifeng! It was difficult for the three northern towns or the natural danger of the Yellow River to stop the progress of the Jin soldiers! Now it is no longer a question of whether the Jin soldiers will arrive, but how to escape after the Jin soldiers arrive!

"Eunuch Liu from Funing Palace came just now and said that His Majesty had sent Zhe Keqiu. Two generals Zhe Yanzhi led an army of 150,000 to the banks of the Yellow River to block the Jin soldiers! This time, the Jin soldiers were divided into two routes and went south, and their total strength was limited! With 150,000 Zhe family troops blocking the other side, they would definitely not be able to come!" Wang Dedao.

"Zhe Keqiu? Zhe Yanzhi?" Although Zhao Chen had never heard of the names of these two people in his previous life, as the prince, he had already gained a certain understanding of these Song generals in a few months.

Like the Zong family, the Zhe family is a family of soldiers and generals in the northwest! Especially the Zhe family has a long history, and the history of the Zhe family is much longer than that of the Song Dynasty! Since the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the Zhe family has guarded the northwest, and has a history of nearly 500 years! In later generations, there was a "Old Madam She" among the generals of the Yang family. In fact, it was not Old Madam She, but Old Madam Zhe! The marriage between the Zhe family and the major military families of Northwest China has a great influence in the northwest! When Zhong Shidao was appointed as the Northwest General, he did not dare to offend the Zhe family!

Over the past hundred years, the rise of the Western Xia family has also played a great role in resisting the Western Xia! However, the Jin soldiers are not the Western Xia, and the Zhe family cannot be the opponent of the Jin soldiers!

"The Zhe family may not be able to resist the Jin soldiers! General Wang, I have something to ask for!" Zhao Chen said.

"Why should your prince be polite to the general?" Wang De said hurriedly.

"If... I mean if the Jin soldiers really broke through the Yellow River and surrounded Kaifeng! The city of Kaifeng is broken, can General Wang protect my safety?" Zhao Chen said.

"Is this more important? If I really get to that point, I will definitely protect Your Highness from leaving the palace!" Wang De said without hesitation.

"Thank you, General!" Zhao Chen nodded.

Wang De is the number one master of the imperial guards. With his martial arts innately, with his protection, it must be easier to escape.

*******

As time passed day by day, war reports from the north continued to spread into the palace, and almost all war reports showed that the Jin soldiers were constantly advancing! The Song army north of the Yellow River could not stop the Jin soldiers' progress!

At the end of September, news came from the north that the Western Army's first race died of illness! The entire Kaifeng City no longer received any hope for Hebei and the Hedong army. At this moment, everyone's eyes were on the banks of the Yellow River! The emperor and ministers of the Song Dynasty placed their hopes and the Song army on the south bank of the Yellow River, hoping that these Song troops could resist the pace of the Jin soldiers!

In addition to Zhe Keqiu and Zhe Yanzhi, Song Qinzong appointed Wang Hui, the commander of the two Huai Rivers, as the deputy envoy of the Yellow River defense! Zhe Keqiu, Zhe Yanzhi and his son led 150,000 Zhe family troops to resist the Jin army led by Wanyan Zonghan, and Wang Hui led 100,000 Treasury Huai imperial guards to resist the Jin army led by Wanyan Zongwang!

King Kang Zhao Gou was appointed as the "Hebei Army and Horse Marshal" by Song Qinzong, who was responsible for mobilizing four troops from all over the world to serve the king.

As early October comes, the weather is getting colder!

Wanyan Zonghan finally led the army to the southernmost part of Hedong, Puzhou Prefecture!

The front is Fengling Du, which is the most important ferry on the Yellow River! Ancient Chinese myths and legends said that Nuwa was surnamed "Feng". After Nuwa repaired the sky, she died and buried her here. She was called "Fengling". The ferry here is called Fengling Du! This is the throat of Hedong, Henan, and Guanzhong. Since ancient times, this place has been a place that military strategists must fight for. Ancient people have poems that say "One water divides north and south, and the Central Plains is full. Clouds and mountains connect Jinlan, and smoke trees enter Qinchuan"! Only through this can the Jin soldiers go south and enter Henan!

Wanyan Zonghan stood at Fengling Ferry and looked towards the opposite side. However, the water vapor of the Yellow River was hazy. Even if he was a top master, he could only look at it! There were countless barracks over there, and countless Song soldiers were stationed there. Wanyan Zonghan couldn't help but show a hint of sadness on his face!

A tall and thin middle-aged Jurchen stood beside him and said, "The Grand Marshal is a little worried?"

Wanyan Zonghan nodded and said, "The Yellow River is so turbulent, it is difficult for us to go through it! Now the Song people have deployed heavy troops on the opposite side. How can we go through it? Oliyan, tell me, what should we do now?"

The tall and thin middle-aged man next to him is called Wanyan Oliyan, also known as Wanyan Loushi. This man was also a powerful general of the Jin Dynasty. He captured the Liao emperor Yelu Yanxi alive among thousands of troops and made great contributions to the Jurchens' destruction of the Liao Dynasty! In addition to his bravery, this man was also a wise general of the Jin Dynasty. Even when Wanyan Aguda was alive, he often praised Wanyan Loushi! Now, Wanyan Loushi is the first general under Wanyan Zonghan, the right-hand man of Wanyan Zonghan.

At this moment, when Wanyan Zonghan's question was heard, Wanyan Loushi also smiled bitterly and said, "Master, the situation in front of us is really difficult to deal with! If we have naval forces and warships in Jin State, we can rush over! But if we don't have navigators and warships, how can we break through the Yellow River defense line?"

"Go and call all the commanders here, let's discuss together and see how to cross the Yellow River." Wanyan Zonghan thought for a while and said.

The military system of the Jin Kingdom was arranged in the arrangement of ten thousand men, ten centuries, and ten chiefs. One ten thousand men commanded ten thousand men, and the other was the first to command ten centuries. This military system was created by Wanyan Aguda. After Genghis Khan rose with the Mongols, he praised Wanyan Aguda as a military genius and also adopted the military system of the Jin Kingdom! This military system looks simple and rough, but it is extremely efficient, which is the most advanced military system of this era! Such a military system is also a reason for the extremely high combat power of the Jurchens!

The Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty were extremely chaotic, especially the Song Dynasty! The Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty relied on the support of the army to gain the world. After he obtained the world, he prevented the rebellion of the Song Dynasty from happening again. So he first released the military power with the cup of wine, removed the military power of his generals, and then reformed the military system! In the Song Dynasty, there were layers of constraints, including the strategic envoy, the commander, the defense envoy, the Xuanfu envoy, and the number of lower-level officers was even greater, and many soldiers did not know their directness.

Who is the boss? Such a military system is enough to ensure that the Song army achieves the ultimate goal of "the soldiers do not know the generals, and the generals do not know the soldiers". Of course, it also ensures that there will be no powerful ministers in the army and there will be no rebellion in the army! During the entire Northern and Southern Song Dynasty, there were almost no generals in the Song Dynasty rebelling! Zhao Kuangyin's purpose was achieved, but the Song army was completely destroyed! The Song army was not an opponent of the Liao Kingdom, nor even the small Western Xia Kingdom. As for the Jin Kingdom, which had just risen and was at its peak, they were even less of an opponent!

At this moment, Wanyan Zonghan summoned all the commanders and discussed ways to cross the Yellow River together! But facing the rolling Yellow River and facing the Song army that was several times more than them, these commanders could not think of any way!

After the consumption of Taiyuan City, Wanyan Zonghan now has only 50,000 troops, while there are 150,000 Zhejia troops on the other side of the Yellow River! The number of enemies is three times that of theirs, and there is also the danger of the Yellow River. How easy is it for them to cross the river?

When the Jin soldiers headed south for the first time, the Song army was not prepared, so they could easily come to Kaifeng! But this time the Song army was careful, it was extremely difficult for them to cross the Yellow River!

"Is my Jurchen army actually blocked the bank of the Yellow River?" Wanyan Zonghan said gritting his teeth!

Three days have passed, and Wanyan Zonghan has ordered the soldiers to make rafts and prepare to cross the river with rafts! But he also felt that this was unreliable! The Yellow River flows rapidly, and I don’t know how many people will die if they use rafts to cross the river! Moreover, even if the Jin soldiers came to the other side, the Song army on the opposite side was waiting for their work and rushed forward, what should they do? But now, Wanyan Zonghan really couldn’t think of any other way!

Just that night, Wanyan Zonghan was sleeping soundly. Wanyan Loushi came to report that there was a Han scholar asking for a visit!
