Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 78 Coping Strategies

Zhao Chen actually slept until the next morning!

He got up from the bed, and there was no one in the room. He opened the curtains, and the sunlight immediately filled the room!

In the middle of May in the lunar calendar, the weather is already extremely hot! Most people will never go to the sun at this time! Zhao Chen let the sun shine on him!

He was very happy!

He had been ill for many days, and now he finally got out of bed! He finally doesn't have to continue to be in a coma, and can finally be like a normal person!

He still felt a little weak in his body, which should be the result of being in a coma for many days! But the physical pain has completely disappeared!

"I'm really well! It's so good!"

"God wanted to take my life, Zhao Chen, but it seems that it didn't do it! This time, I, Zhao Chen, survived again. I will continue to do what I want to do and fulfill my dream! Unfortunately, the number of enemies is still Too many, I still have to fight these enemies! However, that’s nothing! I’ve already died once, so am I still afraid of fighting?”

"From now on, we will have to face Zhe Keqiu again! For Zhe Keqiu, we should focus on forbearance and deceit! My strength is not as good as his! However, sooner or later I will trample him to the ground! I will truly Take control of the army, then wipe out all the enemies and regain the Central Plains!"

A happy smile appeared on Zhao Chen's face!

"It's a pity! Ah Yao is actually an enemy and wants to poison me to death! Such a beautiful and gentle girl has such a vicious heart! It's just that I took it too lightly, just like what Li Gang and Wang De once said, I have a wife. The benevolence of human beings has caused me to be like this! From now on, I will never have the slightest bit of benevolence as a woman! I will never trust strangers who I don’t know easily!" Zhao Chen Secretly said.

For some reason, when thinking of that Ah Yao, Zhao Chen felt a little heartache! He didn't know why, but he had a crush on that A Yao! Obviously A Yao wanted to harm him, but he still couldn't get much revenge!

"That's all! Don't think about her! She is an enemy, and I don't know where she has gone now! I have been in a coma for such a long time, and there must be a lot of things happening outside! I don't know how the Jurchen is now, Kang Wang What's going on now! I need to learn the news quickly!" Zhao Chen secretly said.

When he opened the door, Wang Gui and Zhang Xian were guarding outside, and they were naturally overjoyed to see him.

"Where did Yue Fei go?" Zhao Chen asked.

"Second brother and General Wang went to invite that real Wang! After arriving at Zhongnan Mountain, second brother stayed to take care of Wang Zhenren's disciples, so he is still on Zhongnan Mountain!" Zhang Xian said.

"Take care of Wang Zhenren's apprentice? How old is that apprentice? Does he still need someone to take care of him?" Zhao Chen said.

"I heard it's only six or seven years old!" Wang Gui said.

"Oh! This is my junior!" Zhao Chen had a funny smile on his face. He didn't expect that he had recovered from a long illness, and now he had a teacher and a junior!

"Hurry up and get me something to eat! Then find Master Li, General Zhe and the others!" Zhao Chen said.

At that moment, Wang Gui hurriedly ordered someone to prepare food for Zhao Chen, while Zhang Xian had already gone to Li Gang to ask for a discount!

By the time Zhao Chen finished eating in a hurry, Li Gang and Zhe Keqiu had already arrived, and they were already waiting beside them!

"Where did the Jurchens go recently?" Zhao Chen finally asked as they sat together.

"The Jurchens in Guanshan have retreated to Chang'an! They now occupy Chang'an, Tongguan and other places! The Jurchens in the Central Plains have retreated to the north of the Yellow River. They made Zhang Bangchang the emperor of Chu and let Zhang Bangchang guard Kaifeng!" Li Gang said.

"Zhang Bangchang, this traitor!" Zhao Chen shook his head lightly.

He knew that although Zhang Bangchang was a traitor, he didn't have much ability! In history, this so-called "Great Chu" didn't last long at all, and was wiped out soon! This great Chu is at most a small splash in the long river of history!

"Your Highness, Zhang Bangchang is nothing to worry about! Your Highness, be careful of King Kang!" Li Gang said.

"Oh, my ninth uncle, what has he done recently?" Zhao Chen said.

"His Royal Highness Kang Wang led hundreds of thousands of rebels back to Kaifeng from Xiangzhou, and Zhang Bangchang actually knelt outside Kaifeng City to welcome His Highness Kang Wang! There are rumors that His Royal Highness Kang Wang has forced Zhang Bangchang to abdicate! After Zhang Bangchang abdicates, Kang Wang will ascend the throne as emperor!" Zhe You can ask for advice.

Zhao Chen nodded! He remembered what he had learned in the history books of later generations. In the original history, King Kang returned to Kaifeng and forced Zhang Bangchang to abdicate. After Zhang Bangchang abdicated, King Kang ascended the throne! After that, King Kang entered Jiangnan and handed over Kaifeng City to Zongze for management!

"Is King Kang's ascension to the throne unstoppable?" Zhao Chen asked after a while.

"I'm afraid it really can't be stopped! Kang Wang is ambitious and powerful. He wants to ascend the throne. How can we stop it?" Li Gang said.

"I am the crown prince of the Great Song Dynasty, and I am the rightful prince of the country! King Kang, he is just a vassal king. After he ascends the throne, isn't he afraid that the world will disobey him?" Zhao Chen said.

"Naturally, people in the world are not convinced! However, His Royal Highness King Kang also has his own advantages!" Li Gang thought for a while and said.

"What advantages does he have?" Zhao Chen asked.

"His Royal Highness King Kang is old! If it was a peaceful age, he would only be a vassal king, so naturally he is not qualified to succeed to the throne! But now, the Jurchens are staring at us. Your Majesty and the Supreme Emperor have been captured. Your Royal Highness, you are so young. He ascended the throne as the emperor. If he is in charge of the government, I am afraid that many people will support him! After all, when the country is in war, a 21-year-old prince is more reliable than an 11-year-old prince!" Li Gang said.

"He is older than me, this is his advantage!" Zhao Chen nodded, agreeing with this statement!

When the country is in war, it is obviously more advantageous for an adult to be the monarch than a young child to be the monarch! This is the obvious truth! Although Zhao Chen hated King Kang, he had to admit this fact!

"His Royal Highness King Kang is good at winning people's hearts, and officials from all over the country support him! Needless to say, Kaifeng City is now under his control! The prefects of Jiangling and Hangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River are said to have pledged their allegiance to King Kang! The important ministers in Jiangnan, Wang Boyan, Huang Qianshan and others He has also gone north and belongs to King Kang! I heard that even the great Confucian Yang Shi is loyal to King Kang and is willing to support King Kang as emperor! Yang Shi has a high reputation among scholars. He supports King Kang. I am afraid that many scholars will support King Kang together. !” Li Gang said.

"Wang Boyan, Huang Qianshan! Yang Shi!" Zhao Chen was thinking about these three names.

Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan were famous treacherous ministers and ministers in the early Southern Song Dynasty! The two of them don't have much ability, but they are both high-ranking and powerful, and they are extremely popular in Jiangnan! Zhao Gou wins over these two people, I am afraid that Jiangnan is already under his control! There is also Yang Shi, this great Confucianist is also famous, he did not expect Yang Shi to join King Kang!

In contrast, there are only Li Gang, Zhe Keqiu and others beside him! They have only mastered Hanzhong now!

"Our strength is too different from Kang Wang!" Li Gang said.

"Teacher, what do you think we should do next?" Zhao Chen said.

"His Royal Highness, General Zhe, let me first analyze for you what His Royal Highness Kang Wang will do in the future, and then we will find a way to deal with it!" Li Gang said.

"Okay!" Zhao Chen nodded!

Zhe Keqiu next to him had no objection, Zhe Keqiu knew that Li Gang was resourceful, and he was Zhang Liang of this era! Although he wanted to coerce the emperor to order the princes, but now Kang Wang is a great threat to them, they should unite as a pair to deal with Kang Wang, now is not the time to engage in internal strife! Therefore, he is very willing to hear what Li Gang has to say!

"His Royal Highness Kang Wang will definitely not stay in Kaifeng City all the time! Because Kaifeng City is too dangerous, the Jurchens will come over at any time! Therefore, according to my analysis, His Royal Highness Kang Wang will send a general to guard Kaifeng, and that person should be Zongze! Zongze's reputation Great, he is the leader of the world in literature and military strategy! He guards Kaifeng, and he will definitely make it difficult for the Jurchens to go south! And King Kang himself will go south and enter the south of the Yangtze River! Once in the south of the Yangtze River, King Kang will be safe!"

"After arriving in the south of the Yangtze River, His Royal Highness King Kang will definitely not let go of Hanzhong and Sichuan! Hanzhong is now under our control, and it will be difficult for him to win it! Therefore, he must first control Sichuan! He will recruit the ministers of Sichuan on the one hand, On the one hand, send troops up the Yangtze River and enter Sichuan! After he occupies Sichuan, he will find a way to regain Hanzhong!"

"If we lose Sichuan, we will only have Hanzhong, and we will never be able to compete with King Kang! Therefore, the first thing we need to do now is to firmly hold Sichuan in our hands!" Li Gang said.

After hearing Li Gang's explanation, Zhao Chen and Zhe Keqiu nodded their heads!

"Teacher, how do we control Sichuan?" Zhao Chen said.
