He rode his horse forward and persuaded the soldiers who were kneeling on the ground one by one. Because there were too many people, he rode his horse around for a long time.

Tens of thousands of soldiers were sad, but they also saw the emperor crying sadly. Unconsciously, they felt even more sad and could not help themselves.

When Chen Tuo returned to his original place, the sound of long live continued to echo and rang through the clouds.

The ancients respected the emperor so far, which was indeed not a false statement.

This place is chaotic, but it is not convenient to speak. Zhang Jun and others surrounded Chen Tuo and walked south. Along the way, hundreds of thousands of people came to hear the news, leading the sauna and holding pots, kneeling on both sides of the road. When they saw Chen Tuo riding alone at the front of the team, everyone knew that this was the emperor, and they went down the mountain and shouted loudly, and long live the whole life.

When we arrived in Jingzhou City, there were also fragrances everywhere. All shops in the city placed incense tables and fruit candles, and welcoming them along the way.

Chen Tuo sighed in his heart that the Song Dynasty treated the scholars and officials and the people well. Although there was the harm of Zhao Ji's flower and stone gang, there was a Fang La Uprising in the southeast. In fact, the people's hearts in the whole country did not deviate from the Song Dynasty, so that the Southern Song Dynasty was more peaceful.

Jingyuan is the same as Qin Feng. It has always been an important town in the Song Dynasty against Xixia. The city was built tall and majestic, the buildings in the city were square and simple, and the roads were spacious.

This was the first time that the Mongolian cavalry who followed Chen Tuo saw such a big city, they all opened their eyes and were stunned for a moment.

Zhong Ji and the young guards looked at it, laughed secretly in their hearts, and said, "This is just a military town of the Song Dynasty. If you go to Kaifeng, Luoyang, or even Yangzhou, Suzhou, you will not be able to glar your eyes."

When they arrived at the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion, Chen Tuo sat upright in the main hall, led by Zhang Jun, and many other border ministers and generals met and saluted.

Chen Tuo warmly spoke and encouraged everyone to get up.

In addition to Zhang Jun, there are also border generals such as Zhang Jun, the general manager of Qin Fenglu, Xi Gong, the general manager of Weizhou, Liu Qi, the general manager of Jingyuan, Zhao Zhe, the general manager of Huanqing Army, and Guan Shigu, the general manager of Xihe Army, and other border ministers. See them together.

In addition to Zhang Jun, Chen Tuo also knew very well as Zhang Jun, one of the four generals of the later Zhongxing. At the beginning of Jingkang, this man made many military achievements. He was repeatedly promoted from the lowest-level archer. From the lowest-level military officer to the Imperial Camp, he was appointed as the governor of the army, and was granted the title of prince. He was still a little heroic at this time. However, in order to comply with Zhao Gou's intentions to maintain wealth, he actually helped Qin Hui frame Yue Fei and committed heinous crimes. His subordinates also changed from elite troops to mobs, and they would be defeated in every battle.

At this time, Zhang Jun was already the commander of the Imperial Front Army. He came to Shaanxi because he had a strong relationship with Zhang Jun. Zhao Gou agreed to Zhang Jun's plan to manage Sichuan and Shaanxi, so he sent him here.

Chen Tuo was very disgusted with him, but he treated him the same as others on the surface, and there was nothing special about it.

The other Liu Qi, Guan Shigu and others were all great Han Han in Sichuan and Shaanxi, and the border generals had seen Xiang Chentuo, so they stood up high.

The hall was silent for a moment.

The impulse that Chen Tuo gave to everyone when he came back was gradually over, but it was a very embarrassing reality in the present. There is an emperor in Yangzhou, but another one here. How can everyone deal with it? If Chen Tuo ordered Zhao Gou to abdicate, what should he do?

Compared with ordinary military generals, the most embarrassing thing is Zhang Jun. As a senior official in the court, he is a right prime minister and a privy minister, Zhao Gou sent him to Sichuan and Shaanxi. The Prime Minister responded to great power and trusted him very much.

Chen Tuo cannot come, and he is the one who decides everything here. As a minister, he naturally has to be the main focus of Chen Tuo. However, Chen Tuo’s identity is a bit embarrassing, and the other hand, the lessons of the past are still there, but Zhang Jun is not as loyal as a military general. As a civil official, he actually has a very slight remark to Chen Tuo in his heart. However, with his education, even though he knows that Chen Tuo has shortcomings in his talent and virtue, he just flashes through his heart and never dares to think too much.

The king, minister, father and son were a shackle in ancient China, locking up the path of progress for many capable and ambitious people, but at this time it became Chen Tuo’s greatest protective weapon.

Zhang Jun pondered for a while, but he was unable to get rid of the fixed thinking pattern formed by years of education. The silence in the field would eventually be broken by him.

He bowed to Chen Tuo and said, "Your Majesty returned from the north and was happy. I will tell you the world to comfort the people of the Song Dynasty for the sake of 100 million people."

Chen Tuo nodded and smiled, "This matter must be done early, and everything should be handled by my husband."

Zhang Jun looked up slightly and looked at Chen Tuo. He felt that the other party's eyes were crystal clear and simple, but occasionally waves flashed by, and he felt that it was unfathomable. His words actually mean loyalty. In any case, Chen Tuo's status as an emperor cannot be violated and ignored. This is also the ethics of a scholar-official official.

However, Chen Tuo responded so quickly, but he couldn't help but feel a stern in his heart and replied: "I will order someone to open a stereotype and issue a letter to the world with a letter of edict."

But he couldn't help asking Chen Tuo: "Your Majesty, Jingzhou is narrow and not suitable to stay at the throne. Why not return to Kaifeng?"

Chen Tuo's heart was so clear that Zhang Jun's words were to test how he would deal with the matter of Zhao Goujian's emperor, and to see if the emperor had the courage to stand on the front line. Zong Ze of Kaifeng Prefecture had passed away in the second year of Jianyan. Before his death, he wrote to Zhao Gou many times to ask for the whole city to return to Kaifeng and face the enemy in front. Zhao Gou was as timid as a mouse, so how dare he agree? Zong Ze was extremely sad and angry, and his health was getting worse and worse. When he was dying, he raised his arms and shouted: "Cross the river, cross the river!"

The death of loyal ministers and righteous men was the most heartbreaking. Zhao Gou's actions disappointed the officials and generals of the war faction. However, this person crossed the river with white horses and cleaned up the mess, and made great contributions to the country. If Shen Tuo was still the same as before, then the subjects in the world would naturally know how to make choices.

Chen Tuo thought about this for a long time. When Zhang Jun asked, he immediately replied: "The ninth brother is now in Yangzhou, Kaifeng is no one. I always think that the overall situation collapsed that day because Kaifeng did not defend. Since the ninth brother is not in Kaifeng, then I will not go back, but where are the brave men? Even if you don't say anything, I will still decide to return to Kaifeng!"

As soon as this statement was released, not only Zhang Jun was very excited, but also many of the frontiers and generals present were also grateful. Chen Tuo called Zhao Gou the ninth brother, not King Kang, but indirectly recognized the legitimacy of Zhao Gou's proclaimed emperor, so as to avoid everyone being immediately caught in the embarrassing situation of the two emperors fighting each other. And being willing to return to Kaifeng also had an irreplaceable and great effect on inspiring the soldiers in the Central Plains. In this way, everyone felt that a big stone was put down in their hearts, and they all felt that the emperor's death after the north was already very different from the past.

Everyone bowed together and said to Chen Tuo: "Your Majesty is heroic, I will do my best to serve you and protect Your Majesty and return to the capital!"

Chen Tuo smiled slightly and stopped talking about this. He just asked Zhang Jun: "My grandson is the minister of the clan. He is not with his ninth brother in Yangzhou. Why are you here in Sichuan and Shaanxi?"

Zhang Jun bowed and replied, "I said that Zhongxing should start from Sichuan and Shaanxi. The Jin soldiers are conquering the southeast. In order to reduce the pressure on the southeast, they gathered large troops in Guan and Shaanxi. The troops are worthy of Yongxing. Your Majesty comes here and meets large troops on the road. This is what I gather here. After a while, all the troops gather together and can send troops."

"Zhongxing should start from Sichuan and Shaanxi, good!" Chen Tuo nodded first to praise, and then asked: "How many soldiers are there in various ways and how many Jin soldiers are? Have these husbands ever known?"

Zhang Jun said: "The main forces of the Jin army were led by Wushu. At this time, the troops were under the southeast. There were only 20,000 to 30,000 people in the Guanshan area, and the old and weak troops had no combat power. It was just that it was difficult for our army to mobilize, and it would take time for the supply of food and grass. If we could take action at this time, we would be afraid that we would win immediately."

After saying that, he showed a look of pride. Since Zhang Jun entered Shaanxi, he had already made some clues about the originally chaotic situation in several months. At this time, the Song soldiers gathered in Jingyuan were afraid that they would be close to 300,000. In another month, the gathering army could exceed 500,000. Since the war between the Song and Jin Dynasties, he had never assembled such a large army, taking the initiative to attack, and fighting with the Jin people on the front battlefield. He was a civil servant who could make great contributions as long as he defeated, but he taught him how to be unsatisfied.

Chen Tuo looked at his expression and face and knew that this person had been deployed and the war was about to begin. He was uneasy. In his memory, except for Yue Fei's recovery of Xiang and Deng, defeating the Jin army in Zhuxian Town, the Southern Song Dynasty's war against the Jin Dynasty, although they were victorious, they were all defending and waiting for labor to defeat them.

Zhang Jun gathered a large army at this time, but there was no record of victory in history books. So, he must have been defeated. The Western soldiers were elite troops of the Song Dynasty, and the team of the four generals of Zhongxing had not yet taken shape. If the Western Army lost all its main force here, then the initiative on the entire battlefield would be handed over to the Jin people, and the Song Dynasty would no longer have the ability to restrain the enemy.

No wonder Zhao Gou was in a mess in the following years and was beaten by the Jin soldiers and fled south. After Jiankang fled, he even pounded on the sea and did not dare to go to land for many years. Only after entering Lin'an, Yue Fei and other troops had a great increase in strength and became stronger and stronger in the battle, could he be at peace.
