Side Story No. 24 When Pharmacist Guo met Taiwei Gao and asked for a monthly pass)

Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Jiemu looked at each other, and they still had extremely proud smiles on their faces.

The system of official generation in the Song State is different from that of Dubojilie (emperor) in the Jin Dynasty. If the new official family of the Song Dynasty was selected according to the Bojilie congressional system of the Jin Dynasty, he could still elect a more genital person from a large group of Zhao royal families to become an official family. However, the Song Dynasty made the father die and the son succeed. Zhao Ji, who had been in the official family for more than 20 years, was so unparalleled. How could the son he gave birth to still have genitals? Don't even think about it!

At this time, the two Han aides from Wanyan Zongwang were already confused and the Fengjun newspaper came up.

Both of them are Han people, one of them is Cai Songnian, who is a Song traitor. He is only 20 years old this year, and he is fair and pure. He looks like a talented man. He is the son of Cai Jing, the Lu Anzhao envoy of Yanshan Prefecture in the Song Dynasty and the instructor of Yanshan Prefecture. He was captured with his father and fell into the water to become a Song traitor. Now he is the official of the Grand Jindu Marshal's Office. Because he was born in the Nth generation of the Song Dynasty, he also went to school in Kaifeng Prefecture, and he is more familiar with the situation in Kaifeng Prefecture. So Wanyan Zongwang took him by his side and acted as a leader.

Another person who came with Cai Songnian was named Liu E. He was about thirty years old and was tall and mighty, looking like a general.

He was not a traitor to the Song Dynasty, because he was a Han native of the Liao Kingdom and was born into the Wanping Liu family, one of the four major families of the Han people in the Liao Kingdom. His ancestors were Liu Lung, the governor of the Tang Dynasty. After Shi Jingtang seized the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Liao Kingdom, the Wanping Liu family became a subject of the Liao Kingdom. Because his family was a powerful and prominent family, he served as an official for generations. After the Jin army reached Yanjing, Liu Yanzong, the father of Liu E, who was a high-ranking official in Yanjing, joined other ministers to surrender to the Jin Dynasty.

This time, Liu Yanzong also followed Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Jiemu to send troops together to serve as the commander of the Haner Army of Nanjing Road, while Liu E followed Wanyan Zongwang to fight with the army and participate in the planning. He was very trusted, and Cai Songnian was his subordinate.

"Report to the Dutong, the second prince, the old official in Song State abdicated and ran away, and passed the position of the official to his third son, Zhao Kai, the prince of Yun." Liu E spoke fluent Jurchen. He surrendered to the Jin Dynasty with his father in the first month of the seventh year of Tianfu. After that, he worked hard to practice Jurchen speaking and learn Jurchen big characters. Now, the fluent Jurchen words are almost the same as Wanyan Zongwang.

"Zhao Kai, Prince of Yun?" Wanyan Zongwang was stunned, "How do I remember that the heir of the Southern Officials was named Zhao Huan. Did Zhao Kai get his name?"

It is common for the Emperor of the Song Dynasty to change his name after ascending the throne. For example, the elder brother of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, Zhao Xu, was originally called Zhao Zhongzheng, but after becoming the crown prince, he changed his name to Zhao Xu. Emperor Shenzong Zhao Xu was originally named Zhao Zhongzhen, and Zhao Xu's name was also later changed.

"Report to the second prince," Liu E said, "I have asked Cai Songnian. He said that the prince of Yun Zhao Kai and the prince Zhao Huan are two people, the prince Zhao Huan is the eldest, and the prince Zhao Kai is the third."

Wanyan Zongwang scratched his head, "If the prince did not ascend the throne, let his third son go to the Song State, would he also learn from us to make a ruthless man? Is this Zhao Kai more talented, so he chose it?"

Liu E couldn't answer this question, so he transferred it to Cai Songnian, who was eager to try and was waiting to talk to his new master. Although he wanted to express it, he knew how to speak the Jurchens and Khitans, and he could not communicate with Master Wanyan at all. He had to let Liu E be the translator for anything he said, and it was so anxious to think about it!

After hearing Liu E's question, Cai Songnian quickly replied: "Report to the governor, the second prince, this Prince of Yun Zhao Kai is the son of Zhao Ji, a southern official. He was awarded the position of the Imperial City Office. He himself coveted the throne for many years. However, due to the opposition of the ministers, he had never succeeded. I wonder how he ascended the throne this time?"

Liu E translated his words into Jurchen. Wanyan Zongwang frowned and had not spoken yet. Wanyan Jiemu next to him smiled and said, "Hey, do you need to say it? Of course, Zhao Kai's throne was stolen!"

The one who snatched it? Wanyan Zongwang's brows frowned even more. It should be more talented to be able to snatch someone from the official family!

Wanyan Zongwang thought for a while and asked again: "I know how he got into the Guan family? Did he snatch it?"

Of course Liu E couldn't answer it, so he continued to give the question to Cai Songnian.

Cai Songnian thought about it and shook his head and said, "It is unlikely that Prince Yun has no courage. Zhao Ji wanted him to be the marshal to lead the troops to attack Yanjing in the north. As a result, as soon as the news of Tong Guan's defeat came out, he retreated. Moreover, the military newspaper said that Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan were not killed by Zhao Kai, and they did not seem to be held in Kaifeng Prefecture, but let them go to Yingtian Prefecture to "burn incense". If Zhao Kai was robbed of the throne, how could he do that? According to my opinion, he was probably the one who was put on the throne by Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan, and he was holding our Great Jin Tianshang Army in front to protect Zhao Ji, and Zhao Huan ran away."

His analysis was still a bit correct, Zhao Kai was indeed cheated by Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan into an official family! Although he also sent troops to the palace, he did not go to seize the throne, but forced his father to resist the Jin Dynasty. As a result, this father and brother Zhao Huan joined forces to give him a crown and give him a crown. I really don’t know who to ask for advice.

Liu E translated Cai Songnian's words into Jurchen. Wanyan Zongwanghe and Wanyan Jiemu were a little unbelievable after hearing this.

"Uncle eleven," Wanyan Zongwang thought for a while and said to Wanyan Jie's mother, "Why don't we let Wushu and Guo Yaoshi test this new official family in the southern family."

"How to test it?"

"Let Wushu advance to Liyang, and let Guo Yaoshi attack the Sanshan floating bridge!" Wanyan Zongwang said, "The key to the north of Kaifeng should be the most important of these two places. If Zhao Kai is stronger than Zhao Ji, he will definitely be heavily deployed."

Wanyan Jiemu nodded with a smile: "Okay, just ask the Fourth Prince and Guo Yaoshi to try it out! But don't give the Fourth Prince such specific orders to him. He knows how to use Guo Yaoshi."

Wanyan Zongwang laughed when he heard this, "That's right! Guo Yaoshi keeps this and it's easy to use it!"

Wanyan Wushu (Zong Bi) and Guo Yaoshi were leading their troops to station in the county town of Tangyin County, Xiangzhou.

These two masters and deputy vanguards came south, and they were really similar to armed travel, but there was no Song army who dared to jump out to stop them!

Moreover, they also "picked" many Song people's cities along the way. The reason why they "picked" was because the cities that fell into their hands were either abandoned by the Song army and Song officials, or they simply opened the city gate to welcome the new master.

Wanyan Wushu and Guo Yaoshi would not touch those castles that were truly guarded by officials and troops of the Song State.

For example, in Xiangzhou, Wanyan Wushu and Guo Yaoshi did not fight because the officials and soldiers of the State of Song were guarding the prefecture in Anyang. However, because the guards and guards were both separated, they were picked up by Wanyan Wushu and Guo Yaoshi.

However, they did not stay in Linzhang County for a long time. After passing through the city, they went straight to Tangyin County. When Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Jiemu's order arrived in front of the army, they and more than 20,000 people below were gathering in Tangyin happily, waiting for the fat New Year!

They came all the way south, but they didn't fight much, but they robbed a lot of things. They all made a fortune. Everyone was in big bags. They didn't look like a marching army, but a business group that went out to do business.

In Tangyin, these bandits were very happy. When they called, the New Year was approaching. Every household in Tangyin County had prepared New Year's goods and had everything they had to eat and drink!

So Wanyan Wushu and Guo Yaoshi discussed going to rest in Tangyin for the New Year and sending troops to Junzhou on the second day of the first lunar month.

Just as the two of them were preparing to have the New Year’s Eve dinner, the above order came!

"Haha, Guo Liushou, it seems that our New Year is not going to be over!"

In the original Tangyin County Government and in the current central army lobby of Wanyan Zongbi, a man sitting there with a very majestic face, a big beard, a white wide-sleeved leather robe and a sable hat. He was smiling and talking to a middle-aged man with a big skeleton, long hands and feet, and wrinkles carved from the wind sword and frost sword.

The bearded man with a blushing face was Wanyan Wushu (Zong Bi). The person he called "Guo Liushou" was Guo Yaoshi, who was appointed as the official in Nanjing, Dajin.

Hearing Wanyan Wushu (Zong Bi), Yaoshi Guo already understood what happened, so he replied with a smile: "Fourth Prince, we are going to march quickly this year and strive to enter Kaifeng Prefecture in one go. That is the real world of flowers and paradise on earth!

If we march a little late, we wouldn't be afraid that Kaifeng Prefecture would become difficult to fight if it strengthens its military strength, but we would be afraid that the rich people in Kaifeng Prefecture would run away with money and goods."

Wanyan Wushu (Zong Bi) smiled and nodded, "Is that Zhao Kai better than Zhao Ji?"

Guo Yaoshi smiled and said, "The Xiaguan has indeed seen Zhao Kai in Kaifeng Prefecture. He is actually just a little Zhao Ji. He looks very similar to Zhao Ji. He is also proficient in calligraphy and painting like Zhao Ji. He is also good at poetry, songs, and some martial arts. It is said that he has won the top scorer. However, his courage is the same as his father, and is similar to a mouse!"

Wanyan Wushu laughed and said, "Guo Liushou, then you can take your troops to test the three mountain floating bridges. If you can get it, it will be a great achievement!"

Yaoshi Guo knew that this was a military order that could not be refused, so he stood up and was about to receive the order when he heard a crisp female voice coming from outside the lobby: "Dad, Fourth Prince, we are back!"

Wanyan Wushu didn't wait for Guo Yaoshi to receive the order, and smiled at a tall woman who had just appeared outside the lobby, covering her face with a veil and wearing a chain mail, saying, "It's a celestial girl! Come in quickly, what's the matter? Have you found out?"

The person who came here turned out to be Guo Yaoshi's daughter, named Guo Tiannu. She was also in the army and seemed to be Guo Yaoshi's general. It was amazing!

Hearing Wanyan Wushu's call, Guo Tiannu was not polite, and strode into the lobby, and then bowed to Wanyan Wushu, "Report to the Fourth Prince, my subordinates found out that the Song army camp in Dajieshan had just changed the commander."

"Who has it been changed?" Guo Pharmacist interrupted.
