"What, Yun King Zhao Kai killed the emperor and proclaimed himself emperor!”
"The Jin army suffered 30,000 casualties, and Wanyan Zongwang fled with arrows?”
"Zhao Kai is using the name of the emperor to gather all the troops to help the king and prepare for the northern expedition?”
At this moment, three hundred miles south of Bianliang, a series of angry and incredulous exclamations rang out in the government office of Yingtian Prefecture.
A young man in a luxurious robe looked at the military report in his hand with a dark expression. The veins on his forehead bulged.
"How hateful! This king had been preparing for so long. He was just waiting for the Jin army to break through Bianliang, and this king could naturally ascend the throne and become emperor. Now, he, Zhao Kai, actually beat him to it!”
This young man with a dark expression was the ninth son of Zhao Ji, Emperor Kang, Zhao Gou.
He was also the one who established the Southern Song Dynasty and killed Yue Fei!
He, Zhao Ji, who fled south, and Zhao Huan, who had been killed, were all selfish and shameless people.
When the Jin army went south, Zhao Gou was ordered by the fatuous ruler, Zhao Huan, to be the general of the Hebei Road army and mobilize the troops to rescue Bianliang.
However, Zhao Gou, who had great power in his hands, had his own thoughts. With nearly 200,000 soldiers, he did not rescue Bianliang. Instead, he avoided the Jin army and stationed himself in the Yingtian Prefecture south of Bianliang. He watched as Bianliang was surrounded by the Jin army but did not move.
His plan was to wait for the Jin army to break through Bianliang and capture Zhao Huan, Zhao Kai, and the other princes. Then, Zhao Gou would be able to ascend the throne as the only remaining prince of Great Song!
He had nearly 200,000 troops under his command and had the status of a prince. At that time, he would definitely be able to call for a hundred responses!
Even if the north of the Yellow River was conquered by the Jin army, Zhao Gou could still be a tyrant in the south of the Yellow River.
In fact, Zhao Gou in history relied on this conspiracy to rise to power and become Emperor Gaozong of Song, who was partial to Jiangnan.
However, in this era, Zhao Kai had appeared out of nowhere, killed the fatuous ruler, killed the treacherous officials, defeated the Jin army, and saved Bianliang. Therefore, the plot of King Kang, Zhao Gou, had failed!
Zhao Gou did not doubt the authenticity of the news he had received because the military report in his hand was not from the scouts sent by Li Ruoshui, but from his own scouts.
It was also because he knew the truth of this news that Zhao Gou was so angry and shocked.
Zhao Kai had led 3,000 cavalry to launch a surprise attack at night and defeated 60,000 Jin soldiers. He had become a hero of the Song Dynasty and a ruler loved by millions of soldiers and civilians in Bianliang!
Now, with such a great victory, the imperial army was ordered to go to Bianliang. There would definitely be many hot-blooded people responding, such as the Western Army General Zhong Shidao, the Xiangzhou Zhizhou Zong Ze, and the Haizhou Zhizhou Zhang Shuye!
These were all famous generals of Great Song. With their support, Zhao Kai's position would be even more stable!
As for Zhao Gou, who had nearly 200,000 soldiers under his command, he felt a little awkward.
On one hand, his ambition had already risen. How could he give up his ambition and submit to Zhao Kai?
On the other hand, although Zhao Gou wanted to use Zhao Kai's regicide as an excuse to raise an army against Zhao Kai, he was afraid that he would fail.
After all, Zhao Kai was someone who could defeat an army of 60,000 Jin soldiers with just 3,000 cavalry. With the support of Zhong Shidao and the other generals, even if Zhao Gou had 200,000 soldiers, they might not be a match for Zhao Kai.
Although he had a lot of troops under him, their combat strength was far inferior to the 60,000 Gold Army!
At this moment, Zhao Gou fell into a state of anger and conflict. He was unwilling to give up on his ambition and submit to Zhao Kai, but he was also afraid that he would be killed if he became Zhao Kai's enemy.
From this point, one could see the selfish greed in Zhao Gou's bones, as well as his cowardly personality.
Seeing through Zhao Gou's thoughts, Zhao Gou's confidant, Wang Boyan, rolled his eyes and said with a smile,"Your Majesty, there is no need to be angry. I believe that Zhao Kai, this traitor, killed the emperor and became emperor. This is an opportunity for Your Majesty!”
"Oh?"
Wang Boyan's words made Zhao Gou's conflicted expression change, and a look of anticipation appeared on his face."What do you mean?"
"Your Majesty, although Zhao Kai used the name of the emperor to command the various armies to help the emperor, he killed the emperor and usurped the throne.
Moreover, although Zhao Kai had defeated the Jin army by relying on a night raid, he had also buried a disaster for himself.
Everyone knows how powerful the Jin army is. Not only did they destroy Liao in three years, but they also took over half of the area north of the Yellow River in three months.
Zhao Kai had made Wanyan Zongwang suffer a great loss this time, so the Jin Kingdom would definitely retaliate!
Just based on these two points, Zhao Kai would not live long!
His so-called call for the army to rescue the king was only because he was afraid of the Jin army's revenge, so he called for reinforcements to protect himself.
Other than Zhong Shidao, Zong Ze, and Zhang Shuye, who were fearless and straightforward, those who had some knowledge would not follow the traitor Zhao Kai who had offended the Jin people!
Your Majesty, you only need to wait for Zhao Kai to be destroyed by the furious Jin Kingdom and reap the benefits!”
"Lord Wang is right. Zhao Kai will definitely not have a good ending after offending the golden man!
Sooner or later, the Great Song would belong to the king!”
Zhao Gou's other trusted aide, Huang Qianshan, also said with a sinister smile.
Like Wang Boyan, he was Zhao Gou's confidant and also had the intention of supporting Zhao Gou to ascend the throne and become a subordinate of the Dragon.
Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan's words instantly swept away the anger on Zhao Gou's face and turned it into a satisfied smile."Well said!
Zhao Kai is a traitor of the Great Song and has offended the powerful Jin people. He is courting death!
I only need to wait and see. When Zhao Kai is destroyed by the Jin army, the throne of Great Song will still be mine!”
At this point, Zhao Gou seemed to have recalled something."Right, send another letter of divorce and secretly send it to the golden man. Tell him that Zhao Kai's act of offending Big Gold was his own idea and had nothing to do with this king.
Heaven and earth can prove this king's intention to befriend Big Gold!
If Big Gold needs it, This King is more than happy to help Big Gold eliminate Zhao Kai!”
When he said this, Zhao Gou's face was beaming with joy, as if he was rushing to be a dog for the golden man.
Majesty Kang's shamelessness was obvious!
