Jin Qi's South Invasion

The situation is very good now, Zhao Gou Zhi is here. On the 18th, Wei Liangchen and Wang Hui were appointed as the chief and deputy chief of the Jin Dynasty, and this time they went directly to Wanyan Zonghan, the first person in the military, to negotiate terms with the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty!

On the 5th, the Southern Song Dynasty divided the six counties of Xiangyang into Xiangyang Road, promoted Yue Fei to the governor of the Qingyuan Army, and appointed the commander of the Jingxiang Tanzhou on Hubei Road. Yue Fei alone was responsible for all military and political affairs in Xiangyang Road, regardless of size, it was equivalent to admitting that Yue Fei was a vassal state of Xiangyang Road. The year-old Yue Fei became the governor! After crossing the south, Yue Fei was the fifth general to establish the festival, and the first four were Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun, Han Shizhong, and Wu Jie...

At this time, Yue Fei had already made a great journey and was above the entire Southern Song army. The establishment of the festival was an amazing achievement and an unprecedented record! Looking around the 19th year of the Song Dynasty, only the founding emperor Zhao Kuangyin could be compared! Zhao Kuangyin established the festival at the age of 0, but strictly speaking: Emperor Taizu was the governor of the army, which was the era when the emperors were traveling all over the streets... And Yue Fei had another honor above Zhao Kuangyin! Soon he would be promoted to Shaobao. When he was honored by the world, he was no longer Taiwei, but "Yue Shaobao"

Such achievements will be worth the vain of the past ten years of chaos! Of course, Yue Fei would not have thought that at this time: the lunar calendar will become one of his "false" charges in the Fengbo Pavilion tragedy more than 7 years later... You, a foreign minister, a military general, dare to compare yourself with Emperor Taizu?

Now, the fire of jealousy has been burning in the hearts of the other three generals of the "Four Generals of ZTE", making Yue Fei not know what to do...

In fact, Yue Fei was wary of this unknown jealousy. The phenomenon of seniority in the army is even more serious than in the officialdom. He has reached the peak from a large soldier and has his own powerful army. What have you seen during this period? He knew that he was jealous and was always looking for opportunities to make up for it...

He is too busy to meet and eat or communicate with each other. Yue Fei had to write letters to Zhang and Han frequently. In the letter, his posture was very low. This is also a reality. At this stage, his military rank is lower than the two, younger than the two, he is both a subordinate and a younger brother, and the low point is conducive to unity...

But unexpectedly, something happened! I had to write when writing a letter. It was frustrating to mention this. The three generals were all rude. Han Shizhong suddenly burst out with literary talent until his later years, and his poems and writing were unique. As for Zhang Jun, once he and Liu Guangshi accompanied Zhao Gou to a temple to play. The abbot gathered to ask him to write inscriptions. Zhang Jun's face turned red and he didn't finish writing for a long time... This guy couldn't write at all! Liu Dayane finally thought it was better, holding a pen and holding a knife, leaving his signature curved and curved. Yue Fei's font was magnificent, and he made up his characters and admired Su Shi, the best master of the Northern Song Dynasty. He was a master of his generation based on calligraphy theory!

What effect will such a word be like when I hold it in the hands of three old men? What exactly is this guy writing? Why can’t I understand it?

These letters injected new fuel into the jealousy of the three generals, and they felt inferior! The conflict between the two sides deepened, and under Zhao Gou's interference, the contradiction became deeper!

In actual combat, the Yue family army was the strongest and most obedient in the Song army. Zhao Gou considered the safety issues in the future and decided to give Yue Fei a new task: to wipe out the bandits in Dongting Lake Yang Yao! Cheng Changyu, the governor of Dingzhou, advanced from the upper reaches, and the Jingnan Punishment envoy Jie Qian led his troops to assist Yue Fei in suppressing the bandits. Wang Xie led his troops back to Jiangzhou.

When the three generals heard this, they were immediately furious. To be honest: Before regaining Xiangyang, Song Tingru sent Yue Fei to do this. They must have stood by and waited to watch the fun, and were so happy that Yue Fei would fall into trouble. But it was not possible at this time. The power of the 800-mile Dongting Lake was so huge that it not only made the Southern Song Dynasty dirty and difficult to deal with, but even the pseudo-Qi side regarded them as allies... Ru Yue Fei was really successful, and his strength would immediately rise to the same level as them, or even exceed them!

On September 1, Fumo was appointed as the deputy envoy of Jiangnan West Road Transportation, responsible for supplying the money and grain of Yue Fei's army. On the 1st, Zhao Ding appointed Geng Ziqiu as the deputy envoy of the governor's office of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Jingxiang.

Wang Jia, the commander of the Jingnan General Office, rebelled outside Dingzhou City and rushed west to Taoyuan County. On the 4th, Li Gao, the commander of the county camp, sent a young general Gong Heng to lead the village soldiers to kill Wang Jia and defeat the rebels. Wang Xie, the commander of the Jingnan General Office, also led his troops to pursue Taoyuan County. When he learned that the rebellion had been put down, he asked Li Gao for the crime of taking the rebels' armor. Li Gao also questioned Gong Heng for the same crime, but Gong Heng had no choice but to rebel. Cheng Changyu, the governor of Dingzhou, knew that Gong Heng was brave and good at fighting, and he knew that this was purely done by Wang Xie, so he wrote a letter to persuade Gong Heng to surrender, and Gong Heng was able to return.

On the 19th, Wei Liangchen and Wang Hui said goodbye, Zhao Gou solemnly emphasized: We must be kind and friendly, "I am humble and generous, I will not be afraid of it." Even the emperor, I, don't care too much about my face... In addition, I explained to the emperor of the Jin Dynasty that Xiangyang was originally a place, and Yue Fei was just regaining it, not to take Da Qi, and what intentions did Da Jin Dynasty have. In addition, he asked the Jin Dynasty to release Yuwen Xuzhong back...

The envoys asked for the highest price for peace. A direct scholar walked forward and traditionally erected five fingers on his chest like in the Chanyuan Alliance. Everyone understood: 500,000... This price is much more than what was given to the Great Liao Kingdom back then!

But on the same day, at the repeated request of Lu Weiqing, the minister of the pseudo-Qi Privy Council, Jin Taizong Wanyan Wu Qimai mobilized 50,000 troops, with Wanyan Zongfu as the left deputy marshal, Wanyan Chang as the right deputy marshal, and Wanyan Zongbi as the vanguard, joined forces with Liu Yu's eldest son Liu Lin, and launched a southern invasion! Liu Yu even spoke: This battle will purge Jiangnan and make "Six-in-one"

The original plan of the south invasion was to set out from Shunchang Prefecture, Yingzhou, captured Hefei, Luzhou, Hezhou, Liyang, Hezhou, and cross the Yangtze River in Caishiji. Later, Li Cheng proposed that "Such as a result, food and wages must be provided by Shandong, and it is very difficult to go by land. And we must also beware of Yue Fei sending troops from Xiangyang to cut off our retreat. It is better to go down the Bian River and go straight to Sizhou on Huainan East Road. The army stationed in Sizhou, divided the troops to attack Chu, and Heyangzhou. Then the troops were divided into three routes to cross the river: the west route crossed the river from Caishiji, attacked Jinling, the middle route crossed the river from Guazhou, attacked Zhenjiang, and the east route went to the sea, and directly attacked the Southern Song Dynasty." The deployment was decided. After the coalition forces arrived in Sizhou, the cavalry attacked Chuzhou and the infantry attacked Gaoyou Army in Chengzhou.

When the news came, the Song court was frightened. All the officials asked Zhao Gou to "scatter the hundred officials and he was lucky." To put it bluntly: You guy is going to die, your own thoughts, leave Hangzhou far away. We officials are also making a living, don't think everyone will die with you... The tree has not yet fallen, and the money will disperse first!

Zhao Gou remained silent. The mature emperor would never be incited by his ministers. He was quietly thinking about his own thoughts. Soon he finally waited for a different voice: Zhao Ding, the deputy minister of the government, strongly advocated the fight, and proposed to directly raise the war to the highest standard, and the emperor Zhao Gou personally fought! The Huaihe area is the decisive battlefield, and the Yangtze River defense line is the lifeline. The war will never be allowed to burn into the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River again!

In addition to Zhao Ding, general Zhang Jun also said, "What's the use of escaping now? Only by moving forward can you have a turning point in survival. You should gather elite troops from the world to Pingjiang Prefecture to defend this city." This dispelled Zhao Gou's idea of ​​taking refuge again. Zhao Ding originally planned to leave the court and go to Sichuan on October 7, but now he was left by Zhao Gou Yan's order.

On the 4th, Prime Minister Zhu Shengfei was dismissed. On the 5th, the Jin and puppet Qi coalition forces began to divide their troops across the Huai River. The first attack direction of the coalition forces was Huainan East Road, which was the defense area of ​​Han Shizhong, the envoy of Huaidong Xuanfu. This was very good. Han Shizhong did not refuse any challenges. He prepared for his troops and just waited for the fight... But his side suddenly became empty! On the 6th, the governor of Chuzhou Fan Xu abandoned the city and fled. Han Shizhong had to retreat from Gaoyou Army to cross the Yangtze River and retreat to Zhenjiang Prefecture. On the 7th, Zhao Ding was promoted to Prime Minister and Privy Council. On the 8th, Chen Yuqiu was promoted to the position of political affairs officer of the governor.

Zhao Ding lost his father at the age of four and was raised by his mother. He was a Jinshi and had no recordable achievements before being promoted to Prime Minister. In such a turbulent era, when the world was changing color, he followed a large group of people to escape from Kaifeng and did not participate in anything. This person had to be low-key, or was lazy to the point?

Such a person became the prime minister, which can only be said to be a lucky substitute. Zhao Gou was already the 10th emperor of the Song Dynasty. He ranks first in terms of the unstable throne! He was more swaying than his unfilial adopted son, Song Yingzong, and Zhao Guangyi, who usurped the throne and relied on his own, which led to his speed of changing prime ministers as well as the first in the Song Dynasty!

In fact, Zhao Ding was just a chess piece he chose at will. But Zhao Ding was the toughest prime minister since Jianyan's southward transition. Before, every prime minister was full of all kinds of wisdom. It is undeniable that even Huang Qianshan, Wang Boyan and others could be regarded as people with profound survival wisdom. Not to mention Zhu Shengfei's ability to play the enemy with trauma and fight wisdom... But Zhao Ding is the only one who has courage to foreign enemies. From this point of view, he has both talent, virtue, wisdom and courage. The reason why he was silent before must have his own reasons. It is very likely that he did not want to show up?

At this time, Zhao Ding used the power of the prime minister to overwhelm the officialdom. First, he made the decision to fight against the war. Second, he reinstated Zhang Jun. Third... invited the eunuchs to dinner. The eunuch group was greatly damaged in the Miao and Liu mutiny, but the confidence was still there. Zhao Gou still loved them so much and believed them. Whether to fight in person would have to negotiate with the eunuchs in close consultation before it would take effect...

Zhao Ding set up a big table in the capital hall and chatted with more than a dozen top eunuchs for a long time before the eunuchs nodded and agreed to shut up on some issues.

On October 1, the court received a war report from Han Shizhong. Zhao Gou suddenly showed his power and issued a personal declaration, "I am the two saints far away, and the creatures have suffered a long time, and they have been in trouble, and the enemy has been invaded again. I should personally generalize the six armies and go to the river, which is determined by a battle." It is very good! It is filial and has given up all the previous compromises and concessions, cowardice and shamelessness to fear that parents, brothers and other relatives who are imprisoned in the distant northern country will suffer, and demonstrates his decisive demeanor!

This is the reason why he tried every time, but could explain to the later generations, to all Chinese people who advocate filial piety. No matter what he encountered, Zhao Gou would talk about it under this premise!

Later, Zhang Jun was ordered to lead his troops to support Han Shizhong, and Liu Guangshi, the Huaixi Xuanfu envoy, moved to Jiankang City. On the Japanese, the general of the government, Meng Yu, was appointed to remain at the Lin'an Prefecture. The Shenwu Central Army was 500, and the commander Wang Jin's troops were the head of the army. The fifth general of Zhongrui in the front of the hall, and the Lin'an Prefecture was left behind. He followed Meng Yu's control.

On the 4th, Zhao Gou wrote a letter to Han Shizhong. Han Duzhao was sobbing, and then led his troops across the Yangtze River and prepared to defend Yangzhou to the death! Zhang Jun was urgently appointed as the envoy of the Western Zhejiang and Jiangdong Xuanfu. On the 5th, Fan Zhen and Feng Rulin were appointed as the judge of the East and West Road Transportation of Jiangnan Road, responsible for the logistics of raising the army. On the 8th, he ordered the coastal commander Guo Zhongxun to territorial sea ships.

The emperor, the prime minister, and no one dared to object to the officials. They just raised a seemingly practical problem together: If you want to fight, who will fight? Should you want to fight? Do you want the emperor to fight in person?

This problem is very tricky. Since the Battle of Fuping, there has been no military presidential commander in the Southern Song Dynasty. In every sensitive area, a general is fully responsible and bears his own profits and losses. In the implementation, the Southern Song Dynasty has lost control of each war zone and can only sit back and see if it is successful or failure... At this time, it is not easy to find someone to be the commander-in-chief?

Zhao Ding directly pointed out the general - Zhang Jun! This person is the main responsible person for Fuping's defeat. It is true that he destroyed the brand of the Centennial Glory of the Western Army, and even made the land of Sichuan and Shaanxi extremely dangerous, almost affecting Jiangnan and destroying the Song Dynasty. This is true!

But at this time, only he could take on the heavy responsibility! Because after all, he had experience! Zhang Jun returned and became the top military leader again. At this time, he was extremely grateful to Zhao Ding. Without this prime minister, he didn't know how long it would take to return to the center of power...

On the 11th, Hu Songnian, the assistant secretary of the Privy Council, was ordered to go to Zhenjiang and Jiankang first to arrange for the emperor to personally fight for all matters. On the same day, Wei Liangchen and Wang Hui and his party who went to the Jin Dynasty to negotiate also crossed the river in Zhenjiang Prefecture. On the 1st, they met Han Shizhong in Yangzhou City. After Han showed them the false edict that Zhao Gou asked him to move to Pingjiang Prefecture, Chen Jue and Dong Zi accompanied them to have dinner and sent them out of the northern gate. That night, Wei Liangchen and his party stayed in Dayi Town, more than 0 kilometers northwest of Yangzhou City. On the morning of the 1st, they continued to travel north. Han Shizhong estimated that they had gone far, urgently summoned the entire army, first cut wood and set up a fence in the rear of his own, and cut off the retreat. Then, five formations were set up in Dayi Town, setting up more than 0 ambushes, and ordered the entire army: when they heard the sound of war drums, they immediately attacked the Jin army!
