Section 97 Rebels

At the moment of the Jin army invading, Liu Yu, the then calming and pacifier, imprisoned Ma Kuo in Zhending Prison because of the frame-up of Wang Yuan, the chief of Zhending Road, and his personal grudges with Ma Kuo, and he was sentenced to "counciling the enemy and selling the country and offering a promise to offer the city."

When the Jin soldiers headed south for the first time, in order to please the Jin people, Zhao Huan also told the Jin people that "betraying the alliance" was bewitched by Ma Kuo. When Ma Kuo got it, he must be punished with the righteous decree.

But justice is in the hearts of the people. Ma Kuo was protected and loved by the lower-level soldiers and prisoners in Zhending's prison. Ma Kuo lived in a small house in the prison. When his superiors did not come for inspection, he did not wear shackles and handcuffs and could practice martial arts every day.

When he was practicing martial arts, the prisoners poked their heads out of the cracks in the wooden fence, and their faces, whose faces were dirty and whose eyes had lost their luster still showed no vague expressions of admiration and sympathy. Some tried to talk to him, while others nodded to him.

The long-term imprisonment did not cause them to lose the most basic love and hate of human beings, which greatly touched Ma Kuo.

There was a time to let the air go every afternoon, and the misinmate was allowed to be released from the cage and walked in the yard for a moment. They all rushed to Ma Kuo, or squeezed outside the door and talked to him.

The old banned soldiers and the other two guards pretended not to know and did not stop them. These prisoners came to pay tribute to Ma Kuo, some expressed their willingness to serve him, and some told him what are the rules and regulations that cannot be violated in prison.

At the end of the first year of Jingkang, Zhending City was broken, and Wang Yuan, who framed Ma Kuo, abandoned the city and fled. Wang Yuan also followed Zong Shizhong to rescue Taiyuan. As the commander of the rear army, he led his army to escape, causing Zong Shizhong to be cut off and surrounded. Liu Sheng had already been dismissed from his post because of the failure to rescue Taiyuan.

The prison in Zhending was uncontrolled, so Ma Kuo took some military soldiers and strong prisoners to escape to the monk cave in Xishan, waiting for an opportunity to fight against the Jin soldiers.

Now that he heard that Emperor Daojun was captured by the Jin people, Ma Kuo ventured to the Jin camp to explore.

He took great risks. Ma Kuo once personally learned Aguda and showed his archery skills. He was called Wild Power Mali by the Jin people.

Wanyan Olibu, Wanyan Eliduo admired Ma Kuo very much. He was willing to be friends with him in personal relationships and recognized Ma Kuo's appearance. There were more than a dozen or twenty Jin nobles, and he could be recognized by Jin people anytime and anywhere here.

But Ma Kuo came, saying that he was guilty and bowed to Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji looked at Ma Kuo's face and was filled with mixed feelings. He couldn't help but think of the maritime alliance he had personally started because of Zhao Liangsi's plan. He recaptured Yanjing due to the efforts of Ma Kuo and others, thus making a achievements far beyond Taizong.

But it was also because of the sea alliance that he gave up the throne and became a prisoner of the Jin soldiers.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji couldn't help but get angry again: "Zhu Zi, I've misled me."

It was all others who misled him. But anyone with a little common sense could see that if there was no sea alliance, would the Jin soldiers not be able to destroy the Liao Kingdom? Without the sea alliance, would the Jurchens not be moved by the prosperous Song Dynasty?

Of course not. Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and his son were unable to cope with the rise of the Jurchen tribe. They were the culprits of the fall of the entire Song Dynasty.

But Ma Kuo didn't say this, he whispered: "Please go to the emperor, the official will be patient for the time being. He Shuo heroes will definitely rescue the two majesties to escape."

After saying that, Ma Kuo bowed to Zhao Ji, quietly retreated, the Jin Bing School guarding the gate of the camp waved and told him to leave quickly, so Ma Kuo quickly got into the ordinary people selling things outside.

After Ma Kuo was mixed with the common people and left the Jin camp, he found his foster mount and hit Ma Shangshan, Xishan Monk Cave, and Ma Kuo's big brother Shi Zheng was waiting for him.

Whenever the Jin soldiers occupied a city in Hebei, they would kill chickens and get eggs, regardless of the upper, middle and lower levels of the people, and would squeeze out all the last drop of oil and water on their bodies. They would really have to drill a hole and go all in. They forced many ordinary people to join the Xishan Rebel Army to fight against the Jin Dynasty.

These rebels and the rebels in Jingzhou, Tanzhou and Jizhou all expressed their voices. After the defeat of the Song army in Hebei, they indirectly replenished a large amount of manpower and material resources for them.

At that time, the rebel army had developed into such a ruling rule. Not only were they active around the suburbs of the city, but they also broke into the city many times, killing many individual and small groups of Jin troops. When the brigade of Jin troops was sent to "sweep" them, they immediately left without a trace.

The Jin army went into the mountains to search and kill, as if they had entered a maze formation. Between the dangerous rocks and dense forests, they only saw clusters of flags waving here and there, and they also heard the horse's hooves, and raised a piece of dust. When they ran closer, there was no one in sight, and there was not even a horse.

When they were suspicious, suddenly the gongs roared together. Countless men and horse flags appeared all over the mountains, surrounding them in the narrow paths and the dead-end mountain paths, and were wiped out one by one.

This is such a rebel army led by Ma Kuo and Shi Zheng.

Shi Zheng was called Shi Guanyu and said that he was loyal like Guan Gong. When he saw Ma Kuo back to the mountain, he asked, "How is it?"

"The Supreme Emperor, the official family is waiting in the camp." Ma Kuo said the weather he saw in the Jin camp, "When the emperor ended up in such a situation, the Sa family is really loyal."

"Everyone calls him a foolish emperor. Today, he is so smart that he can ruin the beautiful country?"

Ma Kuo said: "The emperor, the officials are all smart and kind. They will be sad when they hear the sufferings of the people. They just want to be in the ninth level, be happy and happy in the morning and evening, and are powered by treacherous ministers. They say that the world is peaceful and all nations are peaceful, and that all the floods, droughts and famines are all heard of, and that there are no loyal ministers who complain about it, and they say that he slandered the court and criticized the people. Once it changes, no loyal ministers share their worries and efforts with him, so they collapse and are irreversible."

Shi Zheng said, "Brother, if you want to save him, your brother will sacrifice his life and go to save him. I just hope that this Emperor Daojun is really as you said, and he was deceived by the treacherous ministers."

On this day, Ma Kuo brought about twenty trusted brothers and pretended to be selling rice and firewood to the Jin camp. Shi Zheng led the brigade and lies in ambush not far away to meet him.

Ma Kuo still sent food to Zhao Ji and said, "Supreme, the criminal minister will save you today."

"Where is my son?"

"Save it too. When a fire breaks out in the camp later, the Supreme Lord will follow me. The officials and kings will lead them, so let's run out separately."

Zhao Ji nodded: "When the Qing Dynasty is in peace, I will be promoted to the title with my beloved minister."

At this time, the outside suddenly became noisy, and the horse spread to the door and looked at it secretly. Sure enough, the Jin soldiers fled in a hurry and rushed to put out the fire.

"Top, at this moment, let's go."

Ma Kuo took out a sharp knife from his arms, stabbed the guard at the door to death, picked up the guard's sword, protected Zhao Ji and ran out.

The other rebels also ran out with Zhao Ji, Prince Yun and others. The Jin soldiers seemed to be unprepared, and only a dozen people chased after him in panic.

Ma Kuo was overjoyed and rushed out of the camp with Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and others. The group ran half a mile away. Shi Zheng and the brigade were waiting there, carrying Ma Kuo's armor, spear, war horses, and prepared more than twenty horses for Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and others.

Ma Kuo was dressed neatly, and everyone was sighing that the disaster was going smoothly when they suddenly heard the golden camp drums and horns spread all over the sky. Ma Kuo said, "I've been chased by the Jin thief."

Shi Zheng said: "Brothers take the emperor away first, and the others follow me."

Shi Zheng brought more than a hundred people and met in the direction of the Jin soldiers.

Ma Kuo took Zhao Ji and others to run away. After a while, he heard the shouts of killing behind him.

After a while, a team of Jin cavalry chased after him. Ma Kuo urged everyone to whip the horse and escape to the mountains.

After a while, a vassal king fell out of the team and was caught by the Jin soldiers.

Zhao Ji and his son were poor in riding skills and poor in health. Some people kept falling behind and were caught by the Jin soldiers.

Zhao Ji was panting as he was bumping on the horse, as if his heart was about to pop out. He slowed down a little and was caught up by the Jin soldiers.

In the end, only Zhao Huan and Zhao Kai followed Ma Kuo.

Seeing that the pursuers behind were about to be thrown away, suddenly a man came out of the Jin soldiers, holding a bow and arrow, and shot an arrow on Zhao Huan's mount. The mount whined and struggled randomly, overturning Zhao Huan to the ground.

The man who was shooting the archery said, "Just hold the emperor."

Ma Kuo escaped with Zhao Kai. The Jin soldiers chased Zhao Huan who was falling to the ground. When Zhao Huan saw the man shooting the arrow, he shouted in dismay: "Wang Zongyi."

Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and others were taken back to the Jin camp and held in a room. They were all shackled and handcuffed, and they were no longer allowed to contact the people outside.

Zhao Huan said: "The horse has misled me. If I hadn't escaped, how could I be like a prisoner?"

Zhao Ji secretly shed tears: "The official family, the Jin people value your identity and dare not shoot arrows at you, but Wang Zongqiu dared to do so. What a heart."

The father and son hugged their heads and cried bitterly. After a while, Xiao Qing came in and said that Bo Jilie asked the Supreme Emperor to come over and answer.

Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan and his son kept their tears in their eyes and reached Wanyan's tent.

Wanyan Xiemi asked the father and son in a friendly manner, and then ordered someone to take a tray: "It must be the new land of our country. Thank you for the ceasing of the Song Dynasty and prepare a small gift to congratulate you." He signaled the father and son to open it and take a look.

Zhao Ji was so brave that he opened the cloth on the tray that he screamed in shock. It turned out to be a human head. The human head was wide open with his eyes and his face was ferocious.

"This...this..."

"This is the head of Shi Guanyu, a giant gangster in the West. It is not easy to hold him. Fortunately, the noble monarch and ministers used their bodies as bait, which led to the bandit leader coming and was surrounded by my Jin army. The bandit leader was stubborn and killed several of us."

It turned out that after Ma Kuo visited Zhao Ji in the camp last time, Zhao Ji secretly told Zhao Huan and others that Ma Kuo was coming to save them. Wang Zongbi also received the news and reported to the Jin soldiers.

The Jin soldiers were worried that they could not catch the rebel army in the Monk Cave of Xishan. Knowing that the rebel army was coming to rob, they decided to take the opportunity to destroy the rebel army in the West Mountain.

Today, most of the rebel army led by Shi Zheng was destroyed, and Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and others did not escape, and only one of the kings of Yun Zhao Kai was missing. The Jin soldiers were considered to have a plan.
