At this moment, there are only more than 10,000 soldiers here, including those sent out to suppress bandits, and most of them are temporarily incorporated militia; the Central Plains where they are located are full of rebellious armies and rebels, and there are several who claim to be emperors; the finances are basically maintained temporarily by looting various royal Taoist palaces...and no one knows when Jin Wushu will lead his 100,000 troops to search the mountains and seas!

Of course, these crises have not yet come to him. What makes Zhao Jiu most unbearable is that he cannot find someone to communicate with under such survival pressure.

Needless to say, Kang Lu and Yang Yizhong were basically guarding against him like a thief; the two prime ministers, Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan from the East and West Palaces, had only met twice, but both times they urged him to go south after seeing that he was in good health... In fact, let alone these two people, Zhao Jiu had no illusions about the civil servants of the entire Song Dynasty Provisional Government who were currently here! In his eyes, this group of people was nothing more than the difference between purple robes, red robes and green robes!

After all, if the civil servants of the Song Dynasty were of some use, would the Jingkang Incident have happened?

Besides, they were now on the way to escape to the south, and the few pro-war civil servants had already been driven away... Li Gang, who was mentioned in history books, was dismissed from his post as prime minister and his whereabouts were unknown at the moment; Zong Ze was squeezed out to Tokyo and could not be separated from him at all; as far as he knew, the pro-war civilians who were also mentioned in history books, namely the Taixue student Chen Dong and others, had just been chopped off by the owner of this body in Nanjing (Shangqiu)!

In this case,

How do you ask him to communicate with others? Who should he communicate with? Will anyone believe him after he communicates? And the most frustrating thing is that he can't refute it... because he really doesn't know how to fight against the Jin. What can he do to fight against the Jin?

Did he really have to flee to Lin'an first and then slowly plan his actions? But he was unwilling to do so!

All I can say is that these loyal soldiers from Liao deserved it for becoming disloyal after mistakenly thinking that the Jin army had arrived!

"Officials!"

The noise outside the tent had gradually died down, and amid the whistling wind, Yang Yizhong spoke again. "Tongzhilang Liu Yan is here to apologize in front of the tent..."

"It's none of his business, let's pardon and release those people!" Zhao Jiu answered casually across the tent. "They are Liao people, let them go wherever they want, I won't pardon and appease them in person."

"Yes!" Yang Yizhong was silent for a moment before responding.

After a commotion, the tall general's figure was once again illuminated by the fire outside the tent, but he was still sitting upright with his sword and armor in hand.

The emperor and his minister were silent for a long time, separated by a cowhide tent. Yang Yizhong suddenly took the initiative to speak: "The emperor seemed to be looking for Yue Fei and Yue Pengju before?"

"Do you know him?" Zhao Jiu frowned slightly, and was too lazy to care about the fact that the other party was always watching him.

"He is from Xiangzhou, Hebei. His surname is Yue, his given name is Fei, and his courtesy name is Pengju. He was originally under the command of Deputy Commander Liu in the Marshal's Mansion. Later, he was awarded the title of Wuyilang and is famous for his martial arts... He had drunk with me in the Marshal's Mansion before. He should be the person the emperor is talking about."

"Where is the other person?"

"More than two months ago, the emperor ascended the throne in Nanjing (Shangqiu), and then the prime minister Li was in office... that is, Li Gang Li Boji." Yang Yizhong took the initiative to explain, as if he knew exactly what to say about the emperor's "amnesia" after falling into the well. "Prime Minister Li was planning to let the emperor visit Nanyang, while Prime Minister Huang and Prime Minister Wang were planning to let the emperor visit Yangzhou. They argued endlessly for a while, and when Yue Pengju heard about it, he violated the rules and wrote to the emperor again and again, asking the emperor to resist the Jin, and impeached the three prime ministers for harming the country. As a result, he was directly dismissed from all military positions and expelled from the army!"

"Yue Fei impeached Li Gang for harming the country?" Even though Zhao Jiu was prepared for the absurdity of some things in this era, he couldn't help but be stunned. "He was kicked out for this?"

"yes!"

"Aren't they both fighting against the Jin?" Zhao Jiu felt more and more absurd. Yue Fei was actually dismissed because of impeaching Li Gang. "Li Gang is the banner of the world's anti-Jin!"

"This is where Yue Fei's guilt lies." Yang Yizhong's voice remained calm. "He was a military officer, a low-ranking official, and he knew nothing about the overall situation in the court or the frontline. Yet he wrote a letter to the emperor to discuss state affairs, and even impeached the wrong person. How could he not be convicted? At the time, Li Xiang was still the ruler, so it's possible that he was driven out by Li Xiang's confidants."

"Let's not talk about this for now," Zhao Jiu was silent for a moment amid the wind. "Do you know where Yue Fei is now?"

"I don't know where he went, but he is from Xiangzhou, Hebei. Because of the chaos in his hometown, he is determined to fight against the Jin. This time he left the army, probably to return to Hebei to join the rebel army to continue fighting against the Jin?" Yang Yizhong tried to answer again. "But most of Hebei has fallen, and the war is in turmoil. It is too difficult to find him."

Zhao Jiu was completely helpless, but still had a hint of unwillingness: "Mr. Yang, do you remember what he said in his memorial?"

"It is nothing more than advising Your Majesty to personally lead the six armies to cross the river to the north and go to Xiangzhou to fight against the Jin, instead of heading south..."

Zhao Jiu was in a trance for a moment... Even he knew that the main force of the Song army was lost and Hebei was flat. But the main force of the Jin army was in Hebei at this time, including no less than 100,000 cavalry including Jurchens, Khitans, and Han people from Liao. Did they want him to lead tens of thousands of people to Hebei to deliver them?

And where did he get the Six Armies?

Not to mention, those people from the Loyalist Team had said something before, that Zhao Gou had fought before when he was the marshal in Hebei before he ascended the throne, and he let Zong Ze fight, but the result was still a complete defeat.

This Yue Fei...

"How old is Yue Fei this year?" Zhao Jiu's mood became worse and worse.

"Twenty-four, one year younger than me." Yang Yizhong said softly.
