Zhao Goubei Part 1
On the 4th, Wanyan Zonghan's Western Route Army captured Pingyang Prefecture, Jinzhou. Reinforcement Liu Wan retreated without fighting. Afterwards, Wanyan Zonghan turned his attention to the east bank of the Fen River. He set out again from Taiyuan Prefecture, and captured Weisheng Army, Longde Prefecture, and Zezhou all the way to the bank of the Yellow River.
On the 9th, Zhong Shidao died of illness at the age of 76.
The Zhong family army was destroyed at this point! The legendary troops established by three generations of ancestors and grandchildren have become a past event. Let’s look back on their names: the first generation of Zhong Shiheng, the second generation of Zhong Gu, Zhong Ye, Zhong Yi, the third generation of Zhong Pu, Zhong Shidao, Zhong Shi, Zhong Shi, they have success and failure, but they have never betrayed or cowardly! In any era, they are excellent soldiers!
On November, Zhao Gou bid farewell to Emperor Qinzong of Song and left Kaifeng City. He temporarily stayed in Dinglin Courtyard in the north of the city and waited for the gifts of the crown and clothing to go to Jinying after the preparation.
On the 5th, the Huaide army on Jingyuan Road of the Song Dynasty was exhausted from arrows and food, and finally fell into Xixia. The defending general Liu Quan scolded the enemy and died. The whole family of Tongzong Du Yishi burned himself to death.
Prince Kang Zhao Gou brought Che Lu to Changyuan County in the northeast. Before leaving Kaifeng Prefecture, the Jin people changed their minds again. On the 7th, Wang Yun returned from the Jin camp. The new asking price of the Jin Kingdom was that the three northern towns must be handed over, otherwise the city would be closed as soon as possible! So Zhao Gou returned to Kaifeng City and Feng Cheng, the head of the Privy Council, was dismissed.
On the 8th, in response to the latest price, all officials in the Yanhe Hall of Kaifeng Palace gathered together and divided into two camps to debate whether to fight or not. One side was a high-ranking official faction composed of Mei Zhili, Sun Fu, Lu Haowen, Qin Hui and other six people, and they said they would not fight. On the other side, the boss led by the prime minister Tang Ke and Geng Nanzhong sent more than 70 people to fight. Among them, there was He Li, the minister of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of Hebei. If he did not ced the three towns, it would be Taiyuan. It would be really lost. Zhongshan and Hejian were also difficult to protect, so let the local people. The two factions quarreled and fled for the whole day. The most dazzling one was Fan Zongyin, the right counselor in the big boss faction. He was on the ground and cried bitterly, saying that it would be for the country, for the people, and for the safety of the majority of officials, cut off the three towns... Zhao Huan agreed.
On the 1st, Wanyan Zonghan's Western Route Army arrived at the Yellow River Ferry, across the Central Plains, with the largest river on the other side of the river being Zhe Yanzhi's 10,000 Song army. Anyone would be scared...
The Jin army's biggest weakness has been exposed for a hundred years. There is no navy! Since its rise, the Jurchens have never fought on the boat. Looking back on the banks of the Songhua River, Wanyan Aguda led the entire army to ride horses across the river like a miracle... Want to copy now? It's purely a dream! This is the Yellow River, not the Songhua River!
Wanyan Zonghan had a headache and found the strongest man - the Jurchen God of War Wanyan Loushi. He hoped that the God of War could create another miracle on the battlefield...
Facing the surging Yellow River, the God of War, 10,000 heavy soldiers, said the following words: "Although there are many Song troops, there is no need to be afraid. But this battle cannot be fought hard, it can only scare people. We find hundreds of big drums to let the soldiers beat the soldiers to death all night. There may be miracles tomorrow."
So, the entire Yellow River was separated by the entire Yellow River. The Jin army beat the drums all night. In the early morning of the 1st, the God of War walked to the shore and looked south. The miracle shocked him: the south bank of the Yellow River was wide open, and there was no one. In other words, the Jin army beat the drums all night across the river, and all the 10,000 Song troops ran away! What kind of army is this? What kind of country is it that produces this kind of army? Zhe Yanzhi, are you still the surname Zhe?
On that day, the Jin army on the West Road safely crossed the Yellow River without any loss of a soldier or a gun or an arrow. On the same day, Wang Xiang, the general manager of the West Road, one of the four major roads, also abandoned the city and fled, and the Yong'an army and Zhengzhou surrendered. More than 60 kilometers east of Zhengzhou was Kaifeng, the capital of the Song Dynasty!
On the same day, the Jin army stationed troops from Zhaozhou Qingyuan City on the same day, and wanted to take the shortest path straight to the south across the Yellow River. But I heard that it was on Junzhou, the north bank of the Yellow River, 50 kilometers south, and Huazhou, the south bank, Fanner was stationed with 50,000 elite troops. So Wanyan Zongwang decided to change the route and prepare to attack Enzhou southeast, and then cross the river in Damingfu, Beijing, the Song Dynasty...
On the 14th, Zhao Gou and Wang Yun left Beijing urgently. Wanyan Zongwang, who was running to the front line, attempted to use the three towns and various cars to hold the Jurchens...
But on the 15th, Wang Feng, the envoy of Wanyan Zonghan, came to Kaifeng City. In view of the current situation, he no longer talked about the three northern towns, but asked for all the land on Hedong and Hebei Road... Prime Minister Tang Ke once again agreed and asked the Secretariat Secretary He Li to discuss. He Li was shocked, "Didn't you talk about the three towns? Why do you have to all the two rivers now? Forget it! I can't be the prime minister in this war, I resign. Tang Ke, just play alone."
On that day, Wanyan Zonghan led his army to cross the Luoshui River at Sishui Pass. The Jingxiong was expelled from Xu Gao, and the Hebei expelled from Xu Kang, and he led his troops to defend Luokou, but he was defeated when he saw the wind. The news reached Kaifeng City, and Kaifeng City finally implemented a solid wall and cleared the world, and ordered Feng Sheng and Li Ruoshui to meet Wanyan Zonghan to discuss peace.
On the 16th, He Li, the Minister of the Secretariat, was dismissed. Chen Guoting, the Left Prime Minister of the Shangsariat, was renamed the Minister of the Central Secretariat.
On this day, Sun Fu, the Minister of War, was habitually flipping books, and suddenly a miracle appeared! A poem by Qiu Jun's "Poem of Thoughts" fell into his eyes, "Guo Jing, Yang Shi, Liu Wuji, all lying on white clouds in the southeast." Those who lie on white clouds were all gods! The Song Dynasty started from Zhao Guangyi, and was promoted by Zhao Heng to Zhao Ji's prosperity. Almost every major event in the country could be related to Taoist priests and gods... Even on the night of the sound of axes and candles, the figures of Taoist priests appeared...
Now that foreign races are invading, how can the gods and immortals be excluded from such a major matter of life and death? Sun Fu feels that the reason why he saw this poem at such a moment is itself a hint of the gods!
Therefore, the inspiration for seeking gods was posted on conspicuous places in the streets and alleys of Kaifeng City: gods. Men, with unknown appearance, unknown figure, and uncertain occupation. Recently, they appeared under the names of Guo Jing, Yang Shi, Liu Wuji, etc. Some insiders welcomed reports and rewards. At the same time, they were warmly looking forward to the gods and immortals coming to earth in full swing...
The immortal was soon found. The military boss, Wang Zongyi, the boss of the Palace Department, found a man named Guo Jing in the Dragon Guard of the Imperial Guard.
This person is completely in line with the standards of gods. He can sprinkle beans into soldiers. His soldiers can be invisible. He can use the Liujia method to capture Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongwang and other Jin army leaders alive, and can sweep 100,000 Jin troops and remove the siege of Kyoto... To do this, he only needs to gather 7,777 people. Of course, these people are not ordinary people. They are all immortals, extraordinary, and they are also gods who come to earth without knowing it. They have some common characteristics, namely their birthdays. Find them, as long as they are conditions, even if they are peddlers, they will bring the Song Dynasty back to life and make the Jin army collapse instantly...
Zhao Huan, He Li, and Sun Fu believed these words...
So Guo Jing was promoted from the deputy head to the Wuluo Doctor and the governor of Yanzhou. He actively worked and quickly gathered the Liujia divine weapons in the capital. What is the source of the weapons? For example, the one who called Bo Jian was a layman playing sticks on the street, the other who called Fu Zhilin, and the other who sold medicine was Liu Songjie. The more prominent one was Liu Xiaojie. He was very creative and refined the divine weapons. The divine weapons were divided into the troops of Bian Dinglishi, the Beidou divine weapons, the Tianque general, etc. They became a mysterious group of people, isolated from the outside world, leaving various bizarre conjectures in Kaifeng City...
There are many skeptics among them, who think that this is too playful, too naive, too absurd, and it is simply a lie. Giving the lives of the country and nation to such people is purely a suicide act!
Sun Fu, the Minister of War, was furious. He exclaimed the greatest anger in his life, scolding them for not knowing knowledge and not understanding history, and forgot all the traditions of the Song Dynasty! In his opinion, the appearance of Guo Jing, as well as his identity and ability, are the most correct, normal, and unquestionable truths...because there were precedents!
Looking back 140 years, when Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty Zhao Guangyi had just ascended the throne, he found Dai An, who looked exactly the same in reality, who was the Marquis of Yu, who was the dragon bow and arrow, and then the dragon bow and arrow, and was promoted to the governor of Pingyuan Army without doing anything. What does this mean? In connection with Guo Jing, both are members of the imperial guards and were also excavated by the emperor, so Guo Jing must be a god! You said no? You despise the late emperor and deserve to die!
No one said anything if such a big hat was smashed down... So 7778 gods appeared out of thin air in Kaifeng City. Everyone was looking forward to it, not knowing what these "gods" would do. But they didn't dare to look forward too quickly, because the gods said: Unless the sky collapsed and the earth was broken, and the danger was endless, otherwise they would not bother them...
Zhao Gou, Wang Yun and his team came to Changyuan County, Kaifeng Prefecture on the 16th. The people stopped Zhao Gou and said that they were willing to rise up to serve the country, but they did not want to see Prince Kang of the Song Dynasty go to the Jin camp to be humiliated. On the 17th, Zhao Gou's biological mother Wei was named Virtuous Concubine, and Zhao Gou was appointed as the governor of Anguo and Anwu Army. On the same day, Zhao Gou came to Huazhou. Then he crossed the Yellow River and came to Cizhou on the 19th. On the 1st, he met Zong Ze, the governor of Cizhou.
Zong Ze, 67 years old, is already a standard old man. He started well and passed the Jinshi exam at the age of 1. This is commendable. First, his family has been working as a farmer for generations, and someone passed the exam for the first time. Second, he became the happiest Song Dynasty civil servant in history just after thirty years. He has an extremely bright future, but Zong Ze can make himself extremely miserable...
When he passed the exam, miserable happened. His strategy made the examiner very difficult. He didn't take it, right? He wrote it well; he endangered the black shiny on his head. Zong Ze's strategy criticized the current problems and listed all the mistakes of the old and new parties during the Yuanyou period! That's great? The examiner had no choice but to add a word to Zong Ze's origin, which disgusted Zong Ze's life. The Jinshi became a "same Jinshi" and got a good reputation in the exam, and was downgraded to the same level as the waste materials that spent money to buy officials!
With this shame on his back, Zong Ze began his official career. Simply put, he has been suppressed at the bottom of the house. After more than 0 years, he has always been a county magistrate. He was about to retire, and the Song Dynasty decided to join forces with Jin and destroy Liao. This matter was very fierce. No matter who in the country, he had the right to speak. So Zong Ze spoke, and he opposed the League of Jin and destroyed Liao. This was a stage play against the six thieves who were in the peak of their lives! With a sesame official like him, he did not need the six thieves to take action at all, and the thieves and grandsons knocked him down...
The county magistrate should not be called the county magistrate, and go to guard the Taoist temple! Zong Ze was disappointed, so he voluntarily resigned, wanting to build a house in the Dongyang Valley to study and live his life.
But at this time the Jin army invaded, he was promoted again and appointed as the governor of Cizhou. As mentioned earlier: Taiyuan was lost at that time, and Zhending Prefecture was in danger. Everyone was in a hurry to run to the south bank of the Yellow River, but Zong Ze walked towards Hebei and faced the Jin army...
This is a portrayal of Zong Ze's life. He always does something completely different from the entire officialdom. He met Zhao Gou in Cizhou who was going to Jinying to negotiate.
Zong Ze advised Zhao Gou not to die, and no one would agree to any peace talks under this advantage. Zhao Gou thought about it and decided to listen to Zong Ze, and thus had a good impression of Zong Ze. This was a good start. If it could continue, then Chinese history would probably be rewritten. But it turned a corner! Because Zhao Gou's deputy envoy Wang Yun.
The people of Cizhou recognized Wang Yun. He was an envoy to the Jin Kingdom not long ago. When he passed by Cizhou, he asked Cizhou to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, transport the people, property, etc. to the city, and not leave them to the Jin army. To be fair, this starting point was good, but unfortunately the people of Cizhou were also very troubled... When he came again, the people of Cizhou were immediately furious. Coincidentally, someone found several "soap furs" similar to the Jin Kingdom clothing in his luggage. Therefore, the people of Cizhou recognized him as a spy in the Jin Kingdom! At that time, the people of Cizhou were furious. As long as they stick to the border with the Jin Kingdom, even the slaughter-in-chief dared to cut them into meat sauce. What can a small piece of gift?
The people rushed forward, and Wang Yun became a meat sauce... After the incident, Zong Ze realized that he could only report to Zhao Gou. Zhao Gou didn't say anything, but soon left Cizhou and went to Xiangzhou to the south.
Many years later, Emperor Gaozong of Song Dynasty Zhao Gou mentioned this past incident by chance. He believed that Zong Ze killed Wang Yun and killed his confidants at the most dangerous time... Zong Ze made Zhao Gou dare not trust him from then on. And the fate of the Great Song Dynasty turned a corner. If Zhao Gou could stay with Zong Ze forever, then the history in the future would definitely not be like that...
And the magistrate of Xiangzhou and Xiangzhou is also famous, and his name is Wang Boyan.
The envoy of Wanyan Zongwang, Yang Tianji and Wang Fan, came to Kaifeng City again and asked the Song Dynasty to cede all Hebei and Hedong to the Jin Kingdom. This time, Zhao Huan agreed. He urgently sent his two close confidants, Geng Nanzhong, the two vanguard ministers who advocated the cemetery of land, and Nie Chang, the minister of the Privy Council, to cooperate with the Jin army to disarm the Song army. At first, they were unwilling to do so, one resigned from the old and the other resigned from the close. Chen Guoting, the minister of the Secretariat, volunteered to go there. Zhao Huan sighed in tears and ordered Geng to go on the road. Geng went to meet Wanyan Zongwang and Nie went to meet Wanyan Zonghan. These two declining people had no choice but to go on the road.
