After broadcasting the ancient times live, I handed the system over to the state.

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew the tents open, forcing them to squint or shield their eyes with their hands.

When I opened my eyes again, I was surprised to see a dark-faced man standing there, followed by some people I didn't recognize.

Cao Bin, Zhu Qinggu, and others: "?"

"I am not the founding emperor, then who are you?" The man's tone was rather rough.

The people inside the tent immediately stood up alertly, and the soldiers guarding both sides of the tent rushed in, swords drawn.

Cao Bin immediately drew his sword and pointed it at them.

“Master Zhong, if you don’t recognize the Great Ancestor, then do you still recognize me?” Zhao Xu stepped forward.

He was actually quite helpless. Every time he saw Zhong Shidao, it seemed to be in this situation. He really should have just pulled Zhong Shidao over instead of him coming over himself.

Zhong Shidao had seen him before, but others hadn't. Yet, the sight of two identical people standing face to face was even more shocking.

The tent was brightly lit, and Zhong Shidao was quite shocked when he took a closer look. He immediately bowed and knelt down, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

The other generals, who were a bit more astute, also quickly knelt down to pay their respects, while Yao Pingzhong remained standing there, his bull-like eyes wide open.

"It's you again, Yao Pingzhong!" Zhao Kuangyin didn't waste any more words. He bypassed Zhong Shidao and went directly to the main seat in the tent. His gaze towards Yao Pingzhong suddenly turned fierce.

Startled, Yao Pingzhong's legs trembled, and he unconsciously knelt down, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

Zhao Kuangyin didn't even glance at him, but instead called over those generals to hear about the current situation.

Yao Pingzhong knelt there, not daring to get up, his mind blank, not knowing what they were saying, until the person in charge called on him and asked him to come over and talk about the situation of the team he was leading.

Yao Pingzhong led the troops of the Northwest Army's Jingyuan Road and Qinfeng Road, with 7,000 elite infantry and cavalry, which were among the few elite troops in the Northwest Army.

It was said that the Northwest Army numbered over 200,000. Besides his own troops, there were also some elite soldiers led by the Zhong family. The number of truly capable fighters was not very large, which is why he was quite arrogant and fierce.

He led 7,000 elite troops ahead, while Zhong Shizhong and Yao Gu led the main army behind. They have now joined forces, but in fact, Zhong Shizhong and Yao Gu were somewhat inclined to wait until the storm got bigger.

The current emperors of the Song Dynasty are truly not benevolent rulers. They have been burned too many times before, so who dares to step forward? Who dares to act rashly?

There were quite a few people in the Northwest Army who thought this way, which is why Zhong Shidao said that the Northwest Army was just a bunch of loose sand. If it weren't for his high enough prestige to suppress everything, the emperor above would either have been eaten by the Jurchens or by these people.

It's important to understand that the Song Dynasty's wariness of military leaders wasn't solely due to the arrogance and cannibalism of generals during the late Tang Dynasty. Many of the battles they lost weren't due to the suppression from the civil officials, but rather because the military leaders simply ignored their calls from the rear, indulging in greed and reckless advances.

Anyway, if they won, they would be rewarded when they returned; if they lost, they would die, and the compensation given by the Emperor of Zhao Song was high enough. So they became even more fearless and did whatever they wanted.

After hearing how they had delayed, indulged, and even made the situation worse along the way, Zhao Kuangyin sneered, "No wonder later generations say that the Song Dynasty was a great gift..."

Zhu Qinggu and his team have always had a very low profile, even using optical shielding, but they can still be seen if you look closely.

Zhu Qinggu has now learned to drink tea anytime, anywhere, and to keep some food on hand.

So now they've conjured up an outdoor folding table and chairs out of thin air at the very end, with a pot of tea and some snacks on it.

Liao Ming and Zhong Feiguang also looked over to watch their discussion, but did not participate. Wang Mengmeng was still taking notes in her notebook, while Bai Qin remained wary of her surroundings.

Zhu Qinggu watched the comments on the screen, paying attention to their messages, and slightly adjusted the best angle for the live stream.

The content of the live broadcasts during this period can be said to have been a feast for those under the sky who are interested in learning strategy and tactics. Even some uneducated children can explain the reasons behind "surrounding three sides and leaving one side open" and "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao". Of course, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms has also provided these children with some basic knowledge.

However, those who have fought in battles believe that the strategies in Romance of the Three Kingdoms are inconsistent.

Zhu Qinggu didn't understand strategy, but he found it very interesting to listen to the comments on the screen discussing what it would be like if they were in that situation.

Every general has his own military tactics, and everyone sees opportunities from a different perspective.

Zhao Kuangyin used Mandarin to say "Great Song" and "Great Gift," and the pronunciation of the two words was different, so the people below could understand him.

Just listening to them, coupled with the oppressive aura emanating from Zhao Kuangyin, made them involuntarily wipe their sweat.

Zhong Shidao, on the other hand, remained quite calm. He had already done everything within his power, and the situation was now beyond human control.

The ancestors of the Zhao family have all come out; is this something that is beyond human comprehension?

Actually, the current situation is better; at least the Song Dynasty is definitely going to be preserved...

It sounds bleak, but that's the truth.

What Zhao Kuangyin wanted was for this army to obey him.

After he finished dealing with things here, he looked into the corner and saw that Zhu Qinggu and the others were no longer there.

It was agreed beforehand that we would split into two groups, so it's not surprising now.

Zhu Qinggu and his group led Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Heng, Zhao Zhen, and a few others into Kaifeng City.

Bloodstains and the remains of fallen soldiers were everywhere on the city walls, along with their severed limbs. This wasn't the first time they had seen such things, and even with mental preparation, they couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow at the solemn and mournful atmosphere.

This city, which has stood for over a hundred years, must have endured countless calamities if they hadn't come.

The military medics they brought with them had already skillfully entered the crowd to help bandage the soldiers.

These medical officers were brought in by Zhu Qinggu after Zhao Kuangyin's previous reorganization. They were given basic training and put back into service.

Therefore, it is very efficient now.

Even Li Gang could never have imagined that the Jurchen invasion would cause the ancestors of the Zhao family to be blown out of their coffins and come to this place.

Li Gang finally understood why people still went to Zhaoling to mourn many years after Emperor Taizong's death. If this was useful, he would have gone to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to mourn long ago.
