"Xianzhou? Why do we stop there?" Zhao Chen said in surprise.

"Your Highness, I have inquired about the news along the way and learned that Your Highness Kang is in Xiangzhou! He is the Grand Marshal of the World's Army and Horses, responsible for summoning the World's Army. Now the defeated soldiers in Hebei and Hedong have arrived in Xiangzhou. In addition, the rebels from all over the country are also advancing towards Xiangzhou! After you go to Xiangzhou, you can reveal your identity and get the support of these troops! In addition, Lord Zongze is also in Xiangzhou! He is quite talented in using troops, and he can also assist Your Highness!" Li Gang said.

"Zong Ze?" Zhao Chen was slightly stunned.

Zong Ze was also a famous anti-Jin minister in history! In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, at the suggestion of Li Gang, Zong Ze defended the Kaifeng area and defeated the Jin soldiers repeatedly! Later, Zong Ze died of illness. Before his death, he recited the word "crossing the river" and never forgot to recover the Central Plains until his death! Zong Ze is famous in history, and another important reason is Yue Fei! Yue Fei was discovered and promoted by Zong Ze himself. It can be said that Zong Ze was Yue Fei's teacher!

"Lord Zongze is well-known all over the world and is also loyal to the court! As long as you find Lord Zongze, he will definitely support His Royal Highness!" Li Gang saw the curious light in Zhao Chen's eyes and said immediately.

"Mr. Zongze holds any position now?" Zhao Chen said.

"He is the deputy marshal of the world's military and horses, assisting His Highness Kang!" Li Gang said.

"King Kang... What kind of person is I, Uncle Jiu?" Zhao Chen thought for a while and said.

"His Highness Kang is quite talented and courageous. He is an outstanding person among the royal children. Otherwise, His Majesty would not have allowed him to serve as the Grand Marshal of the World in the World! However, His Highness Kang has never dealt with him. What I am talking about is all rumors. I don't know very well what kind of person he is!" Li Gang said.

"King King Kang... Song Gaozong Zhao Gou... This person is a famous emperor of peace in history! In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, Li Gang wanted to recover the Central Plains, but he refused! Zong Ze wanted to recover the Central Plains, but he did not agree! Yue Fei's northern expedition had defeated the main force of the Jin soldiers. He was about to conquer Kaifeng and hit the bank of the Yellow River. He actually called Yue Fei back..." Zhao Chen knew that King Kang was Song Gaozong Zhao Gou. This person was very famous in history because he wanted to seek peace and repeatedly lost power and humiliated the country. Therefore, he did not have a good impression of Zhao Gou.

"Your Highness, is there anything wrong with it?" Li Gang couldn't help but ask strangely when he saw Zhao Chen thinking.

"Nothing... I saw him in Uncle Jiu back then... I don't have any good impression of him!" Zhao Chen said a lie at this moment.

"Ah?" Li Gang was stunned and said, "Why does Your Highness have no good impression of King Kang?"

"I can't say it either! I feel that this person has a little soft personality, I'm afraid he won't fight the Jin soldiers with all his heart!" Zhao Chen said.

"I'm afraid that this... I'm afraid it can't? If he has a weak personality, how could His Majesty appoint him as the Grand Marshal of the World? I feel that he is a strong person. His Highness is young and may have times when he read it wrong! No matter what, if we want to revive the Song Dynasty, we still have to rely on His Highness Kang! Because, now he has the most troops under him!" Li Gang said.

Zhao Chen nodded, but he always felt something was wrong!

That night they were resting in the cave. Li Gang was already asleep, but Zhao Chen turned around and couldn't fall asleep.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Chen got up and came outside the cave. Now is the coldest time of the year. The cold wind is howling, and Zhao Chen lets the cold wind blow on him, so that he can be more awake.

"Why did Yue Fei win the Northern Expedition, but Zhao Gou wanted to call Yue Fei back? And one order was not enough, he actually gave twelve orders in succession... Why is this? Why? He was afraid that Yue Fei would recover the Central Plains? But what harm would Yue Fei do to him?" Zhao Chen said secretly.

Since coming to this era, Zhao Chen has experienced countless dangers, so he is very alert! He felt that it was inappropriate when talking to Li Gang before, so he has been thinking about this issue.

"Yue Fei's Man Jianghong said, 'The Jingkang shame has not yet been avenged. When will the ministers be hated?', Jingkang shame, Jingkang shame... Yue Fei's greatest wish in his life is to welcome the two emperors back... I understand! I understand!" Zhao Chen stood in the cold wind, his face suddenly turned pale!

Zhao Gou was not afraid that Yue Fei would recover the Central Plains! Yue Fei would only benefit but not harm him. At that time, Zhao Gou would be the lord of Zhongxing and be famous all over the world. Even historical books would leave a peerless reputation!

What Zhao Gou is afraid of is that Yue Fei welcomes the two emperors after he recaptured the Central Plains! Song Huizong is his father, and Song Qinzong is his brother. How should he handle himself when these two people come back? His throne was originally unjustified. Now the legitimate emperor, the Supreme Emperor is back, and he will definitely hand over his throne! What he is afraid of is losing the throne and losing power!

"So that's how Zhao Gou is afraid of welcoming the two emperors, so he would rather let Yue Fei recover the Central Plains! In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, famous officials and famous generals emerged, Li Gang, Zong Ze, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, etc. These are all well-known figures in history, with so many famous officials and generals, and the Jin soldiers were defeated by the Song army many times. Jin Wushu was defeated by Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Wu Jie and Wu Lin, etc., but the Southern Song court could never recover the Central Plains... Every time when the critical moment, Zhao Gou would ask for peace, and Zhao Gou would let the generals retreat... Just because Zhao Gou did not want to recover the Central Plains, he was afraid that the famous officials and generals would welcome the two emperors back..."

"He values ​​the throne and power so much... Now that the father and the Supreme Emperor are captured, if history remains unchanged, he will become the emperor... But now history has changed, and I, the prince, survives. If he wants to become the emperor, he must first kill me, the prince! No good!"

Zhao Chen finally understood where the "inappropriate" was. He stood there and felt a little chill!

"I can't go to Xiangzhou! If I go to Xiangzhou, I'm afraid it's a dead end!" Zhao Chen said secretly.

He looked at the sky above his head. It was dark now, and the sky made him feel extremely depressed! Since he came to this era, the crisis seemed to have never left him!

Li Gang is now leading him to Xiangzhou. Li Gang thought that the crown prince could rely on King Kang, Zong Ze and others to revive the Song Dynasty, but Zhao Chen knew that this was not possible at all! King Kang only wanted to be the emperor, and King Kang would not tolerate a young prince competing with him. If he went to Xiangzhou, there was only a dead end!

"I want to think about how to persuade Li Gang!" Zhao Chen said secretly.

*******

The next morning, Li Gang woke up and the two continued to rush north.

Along the way, Zhao Chen wanted to dissuade Li Gang, but he thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a legitimate reason! He couldn't say that Zhao Gou wanted to be the emperor, so he would not allow him, the prince to survive! Now that Zhao Gou's bad deeds are not revealed, even if he says it, Li Gang will not believe it!

Zhao Chen was getting more and more anxious, and he couldn't help but want to escape here alone!

As we move forward, more and more people gradually appear!

In the afternoon, a big city appeared in front of them, which was Xiangzhou City! People came and went, and there was a prosperous scene in the chaotic times! Moreover, many of them were soldiers, including the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty, the Western Army, and various royal soldiers!

Although the Jin soldiers came to Kaifeng City all the way south, they spent most of the time marching along the way! They nominally occupied Hebei, Hedong, and Henan, but in fact they only captured a part of the city. Many cities are still occupied by the Han people, and Xiangzhou City is one of them! Now Xiangzhou City has become the most important city in the north, because Zhao Gou, the Grand Marshal of the World, is here, and various armies are also gathering towards it!

"No, I can't go to Xiangzhou City!" Looking at Xiangzhou City in the distance, Zhao Chen only felt a huge crisis, and he said secretly.

If Li Gang had to go to Xiangzhou City, he would have left now!

"Your Highness, you can wait here for a moment. I will first go and inquire about the situation in Xiangzhou City! King Kang and Zongze are famous in the world, but we have never dealt with them. If we want to take over the world's army from them, we must understand their temperament and the situation in Xiangzhou City!" Li Gang said.

"Okay!" Zhao Chen nodded.

Since Li Gang has no intention of entering Xiangzhou City for the time being, Zhao Chen will not leave for the time being. He stood by the city and looked at the Han people walking out, and felt extremely friendly! Over the past month, they have been trekking all the way, and most of the things they see every day are desolate scenes. Occasionally, they pass by the village, and there are dead bodies everywhere. Now they finally see so many living Han people!

"King Kang Zhao Gou, he has so many troops under his command... If he goes to Kaifeng, he may not be able to rescue his father and the Supreme Emperor... But in history, he has never heard of King Kang Zhao Gou going to Kaifeng! Perhaps, the father and the Supreme Emperor were captured, he was the happiest!" Zhao Chen said secretly.

At this moment, a noisy sound came from the gate of Xiangzhou City, and a team of cavalry came out from there! These cavalry were all silver helmets and silver armor, and looked extremely majestic and beautiful. The leader was a young general, who was extremely handsome! Zhao Chen saw this young general from afar and felt his eyes lit up, and a word "Zhao Yun" suddenly surged in his heart! It would be most appropriate for this young general to play the handsome young general Zhao Yun in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms!

"There is such a handsome man in the world. Who is this person?" Zhao Chen said in curiosity in his heart.

At this moment, the discussions next to him faintly came. When Zhao Chen heard "Liu Guangshi", "General Liu", etc., he was stunned, thinking that this was Liu Guangshi, a famous general in Zhongxing in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty!

Liu Guangshi was a son of a general of the Western Army. His father Liu Yanqing was the second largest figure in the Western Army, second only to Zhong Shidao! The Liu family army was also a strong army in the Western Army after Zhong Family Army! Unfortunately, both Liu Yanqing and Liu Guangshi were afraid of death. In history, the Song Army League attacked Liao in Jin. Liu Yanqing was the head coach and was defeated by the Liao army. Liu Guangshi was also demoted! But soon, the Jin soldiers invaded, and Liu Guangshi did not go to Kaifeng to serve the king, but went to Xiangzhou City to follow King Kang Zhao Gou. Liu Guangshi told his subordinates that "there is no greater contribution than to protecting the emperor." He was the first general in history to follow Zhao Gou! After Zhao Gou ascended the throne, he continued to reward Liu Guangshi. Liu Guangshi was the first famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty to be named Jiedu, and he was the leader of the seven kings later. His ranking was surpassed by Yue Fei and Han Shizhong!

However, this person did not have much military achievements. This person mainly relied on several generals under his command, among which Wang De ranked first, but Wang De has now been subdued by Zhao Chen!

"It turns out that Liu Guangshi is so handsome!" Zhao Chen said in his heart.

Liu Guangshi came out with the cavalry and glanced around from afar, with a look of pride on his face! Although there are many soldiers in Xiangzhou City now, most of them are defeated soldiers, and some are rebels composed of peasants! Liu Guangshi looked down on these defeated soldiers very much. This time he brought the Liu family army without any loss to the slightest amount of damage, and his strength was far better than these defeated soldiers. Rebels! Now King Kang Zhao Gou also attaches great importance to him and has also named him "Deputy Marshal of the World Military and Horses". However, his deputy marshal was not a conferred emperor, so he was a little unjustified!

"Kaifeng City was surrounded, Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor was captured, and now only Your Highness King Kang escaped from the siege! In the future, Your Highness King Kang will definitely be the emperor. I will follow Your Highness first and have the merit of protecting the emperor. After Your Highness ascends to the throne, he will definitely be greatly rewarded by me. A military governor is indispensable! There are rumors that Your Highness escaped from Kaifeng City. If this is the case, it would be a bad idea! I will not have any benefits for the prince to succeed to the throne!" Liu Guangshi rode forward and said secretly.
