In the first month of the following year, three armies met in Gaoting Mountain. There was an uproar in Lin'an City.

The timid Zhao Gou rejected Liu Qi and others' request to fight against the enemy, in an attempt to save and establish a solution. While sending his adopted son Zhao Bojiu to flee in the south, he also sent envoys to the Kaiping army to surrender.

Prime Minister Qin Hui fled to Wenzhou (now in Zhejiang), Liu Qi and Yang Yizhong were in conflict with him, and led his troops to leave halfway.

In early February, Zhao Gou could no longer hold on and ran away secretly, throwing Lin'an to his adopted son Zhao Bocong.

Zhao Bocong, who was later Song Xiaozong, had backbone and personally brought the humanitarian to the city to boost morale and called on everyone to defend their homes. His actions played some roles, and the morale of the Song army was greatly boosted.

However, there was another problem in the city at this time. Zhao Bocong had just returned. That night, someone secretly opened the city gate and let the Pingjun go into the city.

Liu Qi and Yang Yizhong hurriedly led a large army to stop them; he did not expect that an army would emerge halfway, and the head of the head who rescued Yue Fei was the one who rescued Yue Fei.

Yang Yizhong knew how powerful this man was, so he quickly brought the army to stop him. But he knew that these people had not yet fought, but they were just throwing thunder over the sky.

"Do not!" Yang Yizhong and Liu Qijiu were dealing with the Kaiping Army for a while. They recognized that this was the treasure of the Kaiping Army at a glance. They shouted loudly and ordered the soldiers to avoid it.

"Boom, boom." The explosion continued, and the Song army suffered heavy casualties. Wu Song took the opportunity to bring people to kill them and killed countless people. Wu Song saw Yang Yizhong and knew that he was a general in the Song army, so he rushed up to him.

Yang Yizhong had no choice but to fight with Wu Song. When they were blocked, the Kaiping Army outside the city had already come in. They killed everyone when they saw it. The Song army in the city was killed and fled in all directions.

Yang Yizhong knew that something was wrong, so he greeted Liu Qi and then withdrew from Lin'an. As soon as they left, Lin'an was trapped and the imperial city was surrounded.

A few days later, Zhao Bocong was forced to surrender to the Kaiping Army in Lin'an. Li Yanxian asked someone to take Zhao Bocong's handwriting to surrender to the prefectures and counties that were not affiliated with him.

Some governments in various places surrendered immediately after seeing the trick; some were summoned by the exiled regime Zhao Gou and wanted to return to Hainan; some were prepared to resist stubbornly, but the Kaiping Army swept over, and they could not resist it for a moment and were all wiped out. Soon, good news came from Zhang Xian, Wei Sheng, and Hu Yantong.

On the battlefield in Jiangxi, Zhang Xian, Dong Xian, Ji Qian and others defeated Longxing Prefecture (now Nanchang), and surrendered eleven cities. They were then in Tuanhuping (now under Tuanhu Mountain in the southwest of Wannian Jiangxi), and Longmaping (now on the shore of Jinxian Beijun Mountain Lake in Jiangxi) and defeated the Song army to resist.

In February, they had the Jianchang Army (now southwest of Jiangxi), the Linjiang Army (now southwest of Qingjiang, Jiangxi). Ji, Yuan (now Ji'an, Jiangxi, Yichun), Gan (now Jiangxi) and other prefectures surrendered one after another, and Jiangxi was Ping.

On the battlefield in Hunan, Guan Sheng and his son captured Tanzhou (now Changsha) in the first month of the 13th year, and then surrendered to Hunan's prefectures and counties, Shaozhou (now Shaoguan, Guangdong), Nanxiong (now Guangdong), and other prefectures, Ping, Hunan.

In May of the 13th year, Liu Qi, Yang Yizhong, Wang De and others caught up with Zhao Gou in Fuzhou, and they continued to support Zhao Gou as a successor to the throne.

Liu Qi suggested that he continue to send generals to Jiangxi, and southern Liangzhe advance to resist the Kaiping Army, delaying their advancement speed. Zhao Gou ordered Liu Qi to governor Jiangxi and Liangzhe to resist the Kaiping Army.

However, at this time, the Song army was defeated like a mountain, and the Kaiping army was like a mat, killing them and fled.

In order to chase and annihilate the remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty, Gao Chong set up a temporary marshal's office in Lin'an, and the Xuanwei Office was set up under the various routes. The generals of the routes were ordered to continue to advance south.

Liu Qi was defeated all the way, and he and Yang Yizhong were forced to flee to the sea with Zhao Bojiu.

In November, Li Yanxian, Zhang Xian, and others marched into Guangxi. Yu Jingjiang (now Guilin, Guangxi) defeated the defending general Ma Ji and sent generals to surrender to most prefectures and counties on Guangnan West Road.

In May of the following year, Yang Yizhong, who was unwilling to fail, led his army to attack Jiangxi. The powerful people from all over the country recovered nine counties under his jurisdiction except Ganzhou, and half of the eight counties in Jizhou were restored. Zhang Xian first acquiesced their resistance, and finally the entire army attacked and captured all those who resisted. The rear was for peace. The Kaiping Army's policies were quickly promoted, and the people were all happy.

Yang Yizhong led his men to escape and was captured at Wupoling (now Haifengbei, Guangdong).

Immediately afterwards, Guan Ling led heavy troops south to break through Fuzhou. Liu Qi and Wang De took Zhao Gou and moved to Yashan (now south of Xinhui, Guangdong). The prince Zhao Bojiu was captured.

In June, in order to completely eliminate the forces of the Southern Song Dynasty, Li Yanxian led the marshal of the Southern Capital, and led the water with Wei Sheng, Li Jun, Zhang Rong, Guan Sheng, and Guan Ling. The infantry and cavalry army headed south from the sea route. Deputy Marshal Zhang Xian led the infantry and cavalry south from land to annihilate the remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty.

In November, Li Yanxian attacked Zhang (now Fujian), Chao and Hui (both of Guangdong). Zhang Xian led his infantry and cavalry to Guangdong across Dayu Ridge, took Yingde (now of Guangdong), and occupied Guangzhou.

In the first month of the following year, Li Yanxian and Zhang Xian led their troops to Yashan, first controlling Haikou and cutting off the Song army's food route. In the early February, they cleverly used the sea tide to advance north and south, and used barrier-proofing stones to fight bravely, and wiped out the Song army.

Seeing that the situation was over, Liu Qi jumped off the cliff and died. Zhao Gou hesitated for a while, but finally had no courage to jump off and beg for a while. Finally, he became a prisoner and the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed.

Soon Zhao Gou was taken back to Zhending City, and Gao Chong got the information and went out of the city to greet him. Zhao Gou hurriedly came over with the jade seal. He came to Gao Chong's horse and knelt down, then raised the jade seal in his hand high.

"Sinner Zhao Gou, pay homage to the King of Kaiping, Shengming, Long live the King of Kaiping!"

Gao Chong quickly got off his horse, stepped forward and helped Zhao Gou up and said, "I have been with Brother Jiu for a long time, and I am the closest relative of my uncle. I didn't expect that God would mess with people, but I ended up in such a field. It's really shameful to say that.

Brother Jiu, don’t be polite, don’t mention anything in the past. You are still the brother of Fu Jin and Yuanzhu, and the uncle of Gao Feng and Gao Ying. We are relatives of close relatives. I wonder if Brother Jiu will not see you in the future. He often visits my house to see Fu Jin and Yuanzhu.

I will sign Jiu Ge to the King of Song again, hoping that Jiu Ge will find out what is wrong with our Kaiping Army in the future and give you more valuable suggestions."

"The sinner dare not! Thank you for not killing King Kaiping! The sinner will live in the deep palace in the future and you will be fine for this life."

"Brother Jiu is so polite. Forget it, you won't believe anything I say now. Let's go back with me. The road is so powerful that you can see people's hearts over time, and you will know in the future."

Gao Chong was very polite to Zhao Gou, which made these monarchs and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty unavoidably worried.

At first, Zhao Gou and others lived in the inn in Zhending, with layers of army protection outside. That night, Zhao Yuanzhu, Zhao Fujin and Zhao Duofu took their children to see Zhao Gou. After repeated assurances, Zhao Gou was relieved.

Before leaving, Zhao Fujin took out some letters and handed them to Zhao Gou. These were all seized when Gao Chong occupied Yanjing. They were letters from Qin Hui and Jin Wushu.

Zhao Gou regretted it after seeing it, and scolded Qin Hui for being punished for death.

"Brother Jiu, let's leave this Qin Hui to us! I'll give it to Qin Hui's wife Wang, Zhang Jun, Wanqi Sen, all these people will be handed over to me, and I'll give them to Yue Shuai."

After hearing this, Zhao Gou was silent for a while, then suddenly sighed and said, "This is all my fault, this is all my fault. If I had known that this would be the case, why would it have fallen to where it is today?"

Zhao Fujin looked at him and wanted to scold him a few words, but finally he endured it again.

"Brother Jiu, I was the most optimistic about you among all the brothers, but your actions disappointed me. It was no different from my father and brother. I was a good mess that the Song Dynasty allowed you to manage, and finally went to destruction.

But I won’t say much about the matter at this point, but you must remember not to make any small moves. The Kaiping Army’s intelligence system is not something you can understand. Your every move will be under their surveillance.

I have left the intelligence department now. If something happens, it will be too late to say anything."

Zhao Gou was shocked when he heard this. He kept nodding and said, "Don't worry, Sister Fourth, Sister Fourth, I will never make any mistakes."

Zhao Fujin then agreed and left the inn with Zhao Yuanzhu and Zhao Duofu. The next day after they left, they rushed in and started arresting people. Qin Hui and his wife, Zhang Jun and Wanqi Cheng were tied up.

Several people shouted that they were wronged, and those who followed Zhao Gou also tried their best to stop him. He pulled out his weapons with a sound of opening the army warehouse, which would cause an armed battle with them.

This is Zhao Gou's out, and he waved his hand to let them retreat. Qin Hui and others knelt on the ground and said, "Help the official, help the official! Kaiping Army is not going to kill us. If we kill us today, he will dare to hurt Your Majesty tomorrow!"

Zhao Gou snorted coldly, and he still put a stack of letters in front of Qin Hui and said, "Qin Hui, look at what this is? It was you who harmed my Aiqing Yue, which made the situation corrupt and we were all imprisoned."

"I, I, this is all malicious slander of the Kaiping Army. Please make sure the officials take a look!"

"Mingcha? Humph, King Kaiping asked me to ask you, Qin Hui, your story has been revealed!"

"Ah--" Qin Hui and Wang's color changed drastically. They squatted on the ground with a thud, as soft as a ball of mud, and could not say a word.

Zhao Gou was also shocked. It was said that the intelligence personnel of the Kaiping Army were everywhere. It seemed that this was true. It would be more honest as Sister Fourth said in the future!

The Kaiping Army destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty and became the most powerful country today. The Jin people fled north and the Western Xia was also sandwiched by the two armies of the Kaiping Army. The Kaiping Army's great cause of unification seemed unstoppable.

At this time, someone came to persuade Gao Chong to be the emperor. After all, the title of the Song Dynasty was granted by the title of the Song Dynasty, and now the Song Dynasty is gone, so it is definitely inappropriate to call King Kaiping again.

Gao Chong deeply agreed with this. It has reached this point and it has no meaning to hide it. The people under him are bound to be disappointed when they follow him and die.
