Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

The ministers around Emperor Zhao Huan didn't know what His Majesty wanted, so they sent Kang Wang Zhao Gou on the road very firmly.

However, this time Kang Wang Zhao Gou went north, and few people were willing to accompany him to Yanjing City to die.Anyone with a little knowledge tried to avoid joining the mission led by King Kang.

At this time, Xu Ning, the general of the forbidden army, stepped forward and was willing to escort King Kang Zhao Gou to the north.

The colleagues in Dianshuai's mansion all admired Xu Ning's loyalty, bravery and fearlessness, and were full of praise.Several officers even hosted a farewell banquet for Xu Ning.

However, when Xu Ning really set off, these colleagues looked at Xu Ning's back as if they were fools.

Under the escort of Xu Ning, King Kang and Zhao Gou rushed to Huazhou with a few court officials, crossed the Yellow River here, and arrived in Liyang.

Immediately afterwards, this small team of more than [-] people went northward into Tangyin County, Xiangzhou.

According to the original plan, Kang Wang Zhao Gou will pass through Xiangzhou and enter Cizhou where Zongze is the Zhizhou.

At this time, in order to resist the gold, Zongze was using the people of Cizhou to be superstitious about gods and ghosts, and held a large number of activities in Cizhou to pray to gods and worship Buddha, so as to organize righteous soldiers who were not afraid of death and supplement the shortage of officers and soldiers.

Knowing the news that Kang Wang Zhao Gou was going to Cizhou, Zong Ze decided to secretly dissuade and stop Kang Wang Zhao Gou from going north to seek peace.

Zong Ze wanted to ask Kang Wang Zhao Gou to summon Qin Wang's rebel army in Hebei as a prince to fight to the death with the Jin army.

It's a pity that Zong Ze couldn't wait for Kang Wang Zhao Gou this time.

Soon after Xu Ning escorted Kang Wang into Tangyin County, the envoys were attacked by bandits from Taihang Mountain.

Xu Ning was outnumbered and was killed and fled.Kang Wang Zhao Gou and several officials accompanying him were shot to death by the robbers.

This gang of Taihang Mountain robbers came and went without a trace, and after killing and robbing, they disappeared completely.

Two days later, the Xiangzhou government learned that Kang Wang Zhao Gou had been killed by robbers in Tangyin County, and hurriedly sent people to collect the bodies of Zhao Gou and his party.

There are many doubts about Kang Wang's murder this time. Although the attacker claimed to be a hero in Taihang Mountain, several soldiers of the Imperial Army who managed to escape pointed out that dozens of robbers looked like the Jurchens who once besieged Bianliang City in Tokyo.

This... Could it be that Jin Jun really conspired to kill His Royal Highness Kang Wang?

The magistrate of Xiangzhou didn't dare to make a conclusion, so he had to report the news of King Kang's murder and the doubts he knew to the court, asking Emperor Zhao Huan and the ministers to make a decision.

In Bianliang City, Tokyo, after learning that King Kang was killed, Emperor Zhao Huan and the ministers around him were greatly mourned, and they agreed that the bandits from Taihang Mountain had killed King Kang.

For the sake of the common people in the world, Song Ting decided to continue to send envoys to negotiate peace with Jin Guo.

A few days later, "Golden Gunner" Xu Ning, accompanied by Luan Tingyu and Qiao Yun, came to Shuibo Liangshan and met Ximen Qing and his family.

After Ximenqing hosted a banquet to welcome Xu Ning, he gave him two thousand hooked gunmen, and asked Xu Ning to lead and teach the tactics of using hooked guns to deal with cavalry.

Xu Ning stayed in Liangshanbo and became a general under Ximenqing's command.

At this time, Yanzhou is facing Yingshan, and "Monk Hua" Lu Zhishen is also training and preparing for the battle with "Jiuzhilong" Shi Jin and other brothers.

Xu Ning appeared in Shuibo Liangshan, so was Kang Wang and Zhao Gou sent by Ximenqing to get rid of it?

How could it be possible? Survivors all said that the attackers were not Taihang Mountain bandits, or the Jin army in disguise. How could it be Ximen Qing's troops?

Although Zhao Gou died, Zong Ze and others lost their support and allegiance. In the future, it would be of great benefit to Ximen Qing to lose a force to disrupt the situation and compete for the world, but Ximen Qing would never admit this.

We don't know how to predict, how could we know that Zhao Gou has a chance to be emperor in the future?

How could someone as loyal to the emperor and patriotic as I, Ximen Qing, do such a rebellious thing?

I have gathered so many soldiers and horses for the purpose of saving Bianliang City in Tokyo in the future!

In Bianliang City, Tokyo, Ximen Qing still has two people to save.

……

When the Song Dynasty sent envoys to seek peace, the Jin army did not stop advancing.

At the end of November in the first year of Jingkang, Wanyan Zonghan led his army to conquer Huaizhou, and performed a miraculous performance of crossing the Yellow River in Hejin.

When the West Route Army of the Jin Army came to the bank of the Yellow River, all the boats on the river were searched and taken away by the Song Army on the south bank, and no boats could be found to cross the river for a while.

On the south bank of the Yellow River, it was "Double Whip" Hu Yanzhuo and his [-] troops who led the Song army to guard the ferry of the Yellow River and the Bian River.

Hu Yanzhuo followed Taiwei Gao Qiu to lead the army to King Qin, and after going north to Bianliang City in Tokyo, because he went late, Wanyan Zongwang's army had already retreated north, so he failed to make any meritorious service.

Because Gao Qiu did not follow the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji all the way to the dark, and led his troops to act as a diligent king, he finally escaped by luck and was not politically purged by Emperor Zhao Huan and the princelings.

However, after all, Gao Qiu was promoted by the Supreme Emperor for decades, and Emperor Zhao Huan still didn't trust him.

In addition, Hu Yanzhuo, the fierce general of Gao Qi's party, could not gain the trust of Emperor Zhao Huan.

The empress was under house arrest, Zhao Huan and his close ministers didn't want an untrusted army beside the capital, so they sent Hu Yanzhuo to lead the army to defend the Yellow River defense line.

Taiwei Gao Qiu felt that he was no longer favored, and saw the new emperor persecuting and cleaning up Cai Jing, Tong Guan and other old officials of the Supreme Emperor. He was terrified and restless.

Not long after, Taiwei Gaoqiu fell ill and died in fear.

After Gao Qiu's death, Hu Yanzhuo lost even more support and was thrown on the south bank of the Yellow River, where no one paid attention to him.

However, Hu Yanzhuo is still a descendant of a famous family, and he has also been familiar with military books and war strategies, so he has some methods for guarding the river.

After learning that the Jin army was going south, Hu Yanzhuo ordered people to confiscate all the boats in the river.Without ships, it would be difficult for the Jin army to fly across the Yellow River even with wings.

When Wanyan Zonghan's army arrived on the north bank of the Yellow River, but found that there was no boat to cross, the Song army on the south bank burst into laughter.

In the camp, Hu Yanzhuo laughed to Han Tao and Peng Qi, the "General of All Victories", and said, "The Jin army cannot cross the river, even if there are tens of thousands of cavalry, how can they stand against me?"

On the north bank of the Yellow River, Wanyan Zonghan entrusted the task of searching for boats crossing the river to the wise and brave general Wanyan Loushi.

After Yan Loushi took the order, he dispatched soldiers and horses to search for boats along the upper and lower reaches of the Yellow River, and at the same time sent troops to the villages to look for boatmen.

The son of Wanyan Loushi, Wanyan Huonu, led an army of three hundred to search along the north bank of the Yellow River and came to the opposite bank of Mengjin.

Chapter 935 Hu Yanzhuo died in battle

Hu Yanzhuo was not worried about the Jin army's search for ships, because the ships hundreds of miles upstream and downstream were under his control, and it was impossible for the Jin army to find a small boat.

However, Hu Yanzhuo had never been in contact with the Jin army, so he didn't understand how terrifying this army was.

After Wanyan Huonu led [-] riders to the north bank of Mengjin, they did not find the boats needed to cross the river.However, he found a stone beam under the river, which seemed to go straight from the north bank of the Yellow River to the south bank.

Because it is the dry season in winter, the river at Shiliang is not too deep, so it may be possible to ride a horse and swim across.

Wanyan Huonu was overjoyed, leaving twenty riders to wait and see on the north bank, and he personally led his men into the Yellow River on horseback.

Although it was freezing cold, the water of the Yellow River could not stop the Jurchens who grew up in the white mountains and black waters.Wanyan living girl successfully crossed the Yellow River, wet boarded the south bank of the Yellow River, and quickly occupied the Mengjin Wharf.

Seeing that Wanyan Huonu successfully crossed the river, the twenty riders left behind by him flew back to Daying immediately to report the news.
