Qian Song

Chapter 247 The Famous Yue Fei (Ask for a Monthly Ticket!)

...

In late February of this year, not long after Li Cungang withdrew his troops from Bianliang City in Tokyo, Zhao Huan tore up the peace treaty and sent Yao Gu to lead [-] elite western troops to Hedong to rescue Taiyuan Mansion, and sent Zhong Shizhong to lead [-] elite western troops to Hebei. Rescue Zhongshan, Hejian, Zhending and other Hebei counties.

Now, all the cadres in Hebei have retreated to the north of Zhongshan Mansion, and there is no sign of going south for the time being. It can be said that the Zhongzhong Division has almost completed the task assigned to him by Zhao Huan.

Yao Gu, on the other hand, has yet to reach the city of Taiyuan.

When Li Cun led his troops to encircle Bianliang City in Tokyo, Yao Gu and Orihiko also led their elite troops to King Qin in Bianliang City in Tokyo.

However, due to the long distance and the need to raise troops, horses, food, supplies, etc., until Li Cun withdrew his troops from Bianliang City in Tokyo, neither the Yao Gu Department nor the Orihiko Quality Department rushed to Bianliang City in Tokyo.

Later, Yao Gubu and Oriyan Zhibu met between Huaizhou and Weizhou.

At this time, Zhao Huan just happened to tear up the peace treaty, so Zhao Huan appointed Yao Gu as the governor of Hedong Road, and Zhe Yanzhi as Xuanfu Division to handle official affairs, and ordered them to go to Hedong immediately to relieve the siege of Taiyuan City.

After Yao Gu and Zhe Yanzhi took the order, they turned around and headed north together, and then marched towards Taiyuan.

Without the arrows, Huang Di's Song Army immediately acted like a toothless tiger. Zhang Xian seized the opportunity and rushed into the gate by taking the lead.

This caused them to go northward at a slow pace.

Zhao Huan is 26 years old this year. This Qianlong Festival is the most solemn birthday he has ever celebrated in his frugal life...

Yue Fei personally led an army of tens of thousands of horses, trailing behind the Song army, chasing and killing the remnants of the Song army across the Yellow River.

——In Zhongshi's opinion, his army may not necessarily be the opponent of Yue Fei, who has at least [-] cavalry and a total force of almost [-].

On this basis, Zhao Huan personally gave many instructions on the wars in Hebei and Hedong.

After the two armies had been shooting at each other for a while, Huang Di's army suddenly ran out of arrows.

In Longde Mansion, Jiao Anjie and others repeated the same trick, and then urged Yao Gu to take the opportunity to escape.

Zhao Huan has always opposed extravagance and luxury, and advocates simplicity and frugality. What he dislikes the most is Zhao Ji and the others' arrogance and extravagance.

Therefore, for Xu Churen to be prime minister, many people have great expectations.

Two days later, Yue Fei's tribe encountered the Song army of Yao Gu's tribe, who was slowly marching north, in Pantuo.

There is no suspense in this battle.

Yao Gu sent a small school, Wang De, to inquire about the news of the Qianjun, and then learned that the general of the Qianjun Yue Fei was leading more than 4 people to the south and was about to arrive in Zezhou.

After Guo Jin's reconnaissance, the Song Army had a total of nine military camps stationed around Shangxian Village, all located on Beigang, several miles apart.

At this time, someone pulled a horse and let the breeder ride it to break through.

This made Zhao Huan and his ministers not only not actively prepare to deal with Li Cun's second attack on the Song Dynasty, but also sent all the main force of the Song Army to rescue Taiyuan City regardless of everything...

In the end, the Gan army surrounded the Song army, and there were only a hundred people left in the planting division.

Yao Gu and Zhe Yanzhi were worried that this was Yue Fei's scheme, so they waited and waited with their soldiers, but they couldn't get in.

When Yao Gu and Zhe Yanzhi finally found out that both the Longde Mansion and the Wesun Army had only a small number of cadres preparing to take back the Longde Mansion and the Weseng Army, Yue Fei suddenly led 4 troops back to the Longde Mansion and the Wesheng Army. Weisheng army, and has the tendency to advance to Zezhou again.

After the Song army in the middle of the planting division encountered these small groups of cadres, they used the magic arm bow to repel the cadres and soldiers many times.

What really pushed the Zhao Song Dynasty into the abyss was that from Zhao Huan down, they didn't have a clear understanding of the current situation and the true strength of the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Seeing that the three main forces of the Song Army had all come to rescue Taiyuan City, Yue Fei, Han Fang and others discussed and resolutely abandoned Longde Mansion and Weisheng Army, and then directly shrank their troops in the direction of Taiyuan City.

Let's talk about the army.

As a result, nearly [-] Song soldiers were killed or surrendered, and were almost wiped out by Yue Fei. Only Zhang Jun and other small groups of people fled out relying on bravery and luck, either living in the mountains and forests, or retreating to Pingding military.

Therefore, Zhao Huan also decreed that officials above the supervisory censor in Bianliang City, Tokyo, the prefect of the foreign supervisory army, and Lu Fenqian above the jurisdiction of Lu Fenqian, within the scope of the court's envoys, choose to have served in the frontier with a public heart. , or those who have experienced battles, and those who are brave enough to lead the army to fight, are also required to recommend two people, write down their previous positions, and give a clear recommendation.

After ascertaining the situation of the Song Army, and seeing that the Song Army should not be able to fight, Zhang Xian decisively led the enemy army to come. They quickly divided into nine groups, and another part was divided into three or five miles away from the army village. Place to stop - this is the reserve team.

The two armies confronted each other until the end of April. Yao Gu was always hiding in the tortoise shell he built himself, and the Song army's food and supplies were seriously unable to keep up with the military intelligence department. With little information, Yue Fei immediately changed his strategy and sent Zhang Xian to lead the enemy-breaking army to defeat the Yanyan army in Shangxian Village, northeast of Fenzhou.

Although there were more soldiers and horses than Yue Fei's, Yao Gu and Zhe Yanzhi were very afraid of the dry army that the Song army had never been able to defeat.

In other words, from Zhao Huan down, the people in power in the Zhao and Song Dynasties actually knew everything, but they just didn't make reasonable strategic target deployments, and they also lacked reasonable contingency plans. In terms of system, Emperor Zhao Huan and his ministers are still in the state of peacetime. What is even more sad is that Emperor Zhao Huan and his ministers seem to be more keen on eliminating the old ministers of Zhao Ji's era, and more interested in abolishing the policies of Zhao Ji's era. None of the good suggestions put forward by people in the Qing Dynasty attracted the attention of Zhao Huanjun and his ministers.

After Zhang Xian took the order, he sent Guo Jin to lead an army of one thousand horses to the front of Huang Di's army camp to lure the enemy into battle, and scout the Song army's position by the way.

This caused a large number of official vacancies in the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

in fact--

Under the command of Zhang Xian, the nine enemy-breaking troops quickly dispersed, and then each rushed towards a military stronghold of the Song Army.

In general, the eight ideas of cultivating the teacher's way are to hope that Zhao Huan can issue an edict to concentrate on training the Baojia soldiers in Hebei and Hedong, build a horizontal navy to garrison the Yellow River, repair ponds and cities, and exempt Hebei and Hedong from rent and tax.

But the teacher Zhong refused to leave. He thanked miserably and said: "My general, as things come to this, it is not appropriate to survive. Er Cao hastened to go, and there is no one to beat the bandits."

Zhao Huan felt that Geng Nanzhong's suggestion was very reasonable, so he hastily made his eldest son (also Zhao Huan's only son) Zhao Chen the crown prince, so as not to lose the imperial power.

But if you agree, you agree, but now Zhao Huan is not only concerned with strengthening national defense, he is also facing issues such as reforming internal affairs and politics after he has just ascended the throne.

In fact, all the civil and military officials of the Zhao Song Dynasty have realized that Li Cun is likely to attack the Zhao Song Dynasty again when the autumn is high and the horse is fat, in order to avenge their Zhao Song Dynasty for breaking the contract.

Zhao Huan himself thinks that the name "Qianlong" can be expanded into the dragon of the Dagan Dynasty, which is very good, implying that he can destroy the Dagan Dynasty and regain the territory lost by the Zhao and Song Dynasties, as well as the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, Annan, and Zhancheng. And so on, making him an emperor through the ages.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Huan received a series of praises before becoming emperor.

……

Many soldiers of the Song Army saw that the meritorious service was not rewarded, and they were both resentful and angry. They were unwilling to continue fighting, and even fled in all directions.

Yue Fei used the Mongolian iron cavalry tactics taught by Li Cun to easily defeat Yao Gu's and Orihiko's tribes.

However, as Zhao Ji and other members of the royal family and clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty returned to Bianliang City in Tokyo, the Zhao Song Dynasty was full of joy. All civil and military officials thought that internal troubles no longer existed, and the army seemed to have no intention of going south. , The foreign troubles have also been eliminated, so the court of Zhao and Song Dynasties thought it was safe and sound, and the major issues of border defense were put on hold, and no one cared about it.

Moreover, at this time Yue Fei only had more than 2 horse troops, not as many as Song Jun.

Therefore, Zhao Huanjun and his ministers were very annoyed at the delay in marching in the division.

In order to complete the tasks entrusted by Zhao Huanjun and his ministers, the Zhongshi also ordered that none of the supplies and rewards for the army should accompany the army, but all stay in Zhending, and the army marches lightly.

The remnants of the Song Army were hunted down by the Gan Army until they reached the Weisheng Army.

The defenders in the village fought for a while with the enemy army led by Zhang Xian, but they couldn't hold back and scattered in all directions. There were also many officers, soldiers, civilians and grain transporters in the village who saw the situation was bad and surrendered on their knees.

Someone said to Zhao Huan: "If the imperial court does not rescue Taiyuan again, the city of Taiyuan will surely fall soon."

The second branch is the Hedong soldiers and horses led by Zhang Xiaochun's son Zhang Hao and the Fuyan Army led by Huang Di, the horse envoy of the Fuyan Road Army. They also number in the tens of thousands.

It should be said that Zhao Huan also knew that Li Cun would probably lead his army to attack the Zhao Song Dynasty again when autumn was high and horses were fat, so he should quickly reserve military talents.

Yao Gu saw that the Qian army was indeed in great danger, and he listened to the advice of Jiao Anjie and others, so he led the remnants of the Song army to retreat to Longde Mansion overnight.

In order to commend the cities in Hebei and Hedong that are still defending, Zhao Huan issued an imperial edict to reward Zhan Du, Zhang Xiaochun and other defenders for their meritorious service in defending the city. Waiting for the guards to recommend them according to their specific meritorious service, as a reward.

But he didn't want to, Yue Fei walked around here in Zezhou, and then retreated again.

Huang Di is also a general with rich combat experience. When he saw Zhang Xian personally leading the army, he immediately sent three teams of god-armed archers out of the village to shoot at the enemy on Gaogang.

Yue Fei used his mind to calculate the carelessness of his teachers, and waited for work with ease, so there were more people than his teachers.

But Xu Churen's main battle is the main one, but he is only a scholar after all, and he doesn't understand military affairs at all.

Zhao Huan heard the words and hurriedly held a meeting to ask all the chief executives for advice.

Therefore, the middle part of the planting division did not encounter any dry troops along the way, and it went smoothly from Hebei to Hedong.

After Zhong Shidao heard about this, he hurriedly wrote a memorial to Zhao Huan:
"Dagan wants to cut off Hebei and Hedong, but many officials, soldiers and civilians in Hebei and Hedong are unwilling to rebel against the Song Dynasty and surrender to Qian. They are bound to hold on to the two territories for our Song Dynasty. This will definitely arouse the anger of Emperor Dagan. I have found out that Emperor Dagan is going to I personally asked about the spring planting, because I want to harvest more grain and grass, and I must prepare for occupying the territory of the Song Dynasty. Based on this, the minister judged that the autumn will be high and the horses will be fat, and the dry army will come again, so as to blame the previous agreement. Now it is appropriate to prepare for the frontier defense. Don’t rely on them not coming, rely on me to wait for them. Especially for Your Majesty’s rules, so those who are prepared to defend against the enemy, everything..."

After this defeat, Zhao Huan and his ministers immediately panicked.

But how to deal with the possible war, how to defend the Zhao Song Dynasty, there is no good way from Zhao Huan down.

After defeating Zhongshizhong, Yue Fei immediately led all the horse troops to the south to face the Song army of Yao Gu's tribe.

The army camp where Huang Di was located was the direction of Zhang Xian's key attack, so he was attacked first, and it was Zhang Xian who personally led the attack.

Seeing that Zhao Huan and his ministers were either focusing on the wars in Hebei and Hedong, or on welcoming Zhao Ji and other Zhao Song Dynasty royal families and clans back to Beijing, the Zhao Song Dynasty's armaments were still so slack and there was no progress. Yushi Zhongcheng Lu Haowen was very worried about the future of the Zhao Song Dynasty, so he wrote a memorial to Zhao Huan saying:
"If you succeed in doing great work, you will lighten China. In autumn and winter, the country will return. The preparations for defending against the enemy must be paid attention to quickly. Today's border affairs are classics and paintings, and the installation will not be seen in ten months. The ministers and bureaucrats will not be able to make requests. This minister is deeply afraid. .”

Zhao Huan felt that Xu Han's strategy was very reasonable, and immediately gave orders to Zhong Shizhong according to Xu Han's strategic conception.

However, due to the lack of understanding of the reality of the dry army in Hedong, and the fear of the strong combat effectiveness of the dry army, Yao Gu and Zhe Yanzhi did not dare to rush northward.

——In the eyes of Zhao Huan and his ministers, it seems that the biggest thing is to eliminate the influence of Zhao Ji's era and stabilize Zhao Huan's imperial power and the power in their hands.

Xu Han even sent six or seven letters of appeal to the division in one day, and one of them was harsher than the other, accusing the division of teasing and playing with the enemy, and forcing the division to send troops immediately. Relieve Taiyuan to make atonement.

It may be that Zhao Huan felt that what Lu Haowen said was quite reasonable, so he issued an imperial decree in the midst of his busy schedule, asking all the roads to select generals, train soldiers, recruit troops, repair armor, and save food. , Reserve military supplies.

Yao Gu and Orihiko began to carefully prepare for the battle as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Ordinarily, in this case, Song Jun should take the initiative to fight with Gan Jun.

Therefore, on the day of Qianlong Festival, Zhao Huan made an exception and rewarded the officials to hold a banquet in Zichen Hall to celebrate his birthday.

After the court of Zhao and Song Dynasties learned of this, many people judged that Yue Fei was probably planning to retreat across the board.

Yao Gu, who had been stable all his life, was really panicked by Yue Fei this time, so he chose to listen to the advice of Jiao Anjie and others, and led his army to continue fleeing south.

The Gan army has more than 5 horses, and the Yaogu and Orihiko departments together have a total of only 6 horses.

Zhong Shizhong was forced by Zhao Huanjun and his ministers, and he looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's not good, it's God. Why do I love to die, not to serve the country?"

At this time, the planting division had found out that Li Cungang had sent [-] cavalry troops to Yue Fei as reinforcements, and even sent his own personal guard, You Yi Army, to Yue Fei.

But Yao Gu had made up his mind to defend against danger, and would not take the initiative to fight Yue Fei at all.

When the middle part of the seed division marched to Shaxiong Ridge, Yue Fei personally led [-] main forces to a decisive battle with the middle part of the seed division.

At first, there were two armies who came to rescue Taiyuan City.

As for Xu Churen, the current Prime Minister of the Zhao and Song Dynasties, he was a Jinshi in the eighth year of Shenzong Yuanfeng and a veteran of the four dynasties.

Zhao Huan mercilessly issued an edict to the Zhongzhong Zhongzhong, telling the Zhongzhong Zhongzhong that the Gan army might withdraw troops across the board, urging the Zhongzhong Zhongzhong to march to Taiyuan immediately and achieve a great victory as soon as possible. " and the like.

Before Li Cun led his army southwards, Zhang Quan, Wei Zhongda, He Dagui and other officials of Zhao and Song Dynasty accounted for almost one-third of the officials. They went to the city, and left Bianliang City, Tokyo without authorization for various reasons. Their shameless behavior aroused great public outrage, so Zhao Huan deposed them all.

Therefore, after receiving Zhao Huan's order, Zhong Shizhong did not go to rescue Taiyuan City immediately, but first wrote to Yao Gu and Zhang Hao, inviting them to rescue Taiyuan together.

Although Yue Fei was young, he was eager to defeat the main force of the Song Army, but he did not rush to attack the well-prepared Yao Gu and Orihiko Quality Departments, but was calmly looking for opportunities...

On the road close to Taiyuan City, Yue Fei was afraid of the vigilance of the middle division, so he began to lure the enemy deep with a small group of troops.

But this far can't quench the near thirst, and it's not a good strategy to solve the imminent crisis facing the Zhao Song Dynasty in a short time.

After Yue Fei sent rangers to find out the movement of the middle part of the seed division, he chose to shrink his troops again to show the enemy that he was weak.

Seeing this, everyone from the Zhongzhong division thought that Mr. Zhao Huan and his ministers had guessed right, that the Gan army had really withdrawn across the board.

——Geng Nanzhong was also promoted by Zhao Huan to be his servant.

Therefore, Yao Gu and Zhe Yanzhi did not rashly launch an attack on the Gan army, but have been under full martial law in Jincheng and Jiangzhou across the Kongzhai River, preparing to fight Yue Fei's defensive counterattack, which the Song army is best at.

In addition, Geng Nanzhong suggested to Zhao Huan to establish a prince early to prevent Zhao Ji's restoration and dispel those who still have illusions about Zhao Ji's restoration.

"Dry Dragon" is taken from the fifth line of Qian Gua in "Book of Changes": "Ninth Five-Year, the flying dragon is in the sky."

If that's all it is, the Zhao Song Dynasty is not in danger.

——The birthdays of the emperors of the Zhao and Song Dynasties were all festivals.Zhao Kuangyin's birthday is February [-], which is the Changchun Festival; Zhao Guangyi's birthday is the seventh day of October, which is the Qianming Festival, which was later changed to Shouning Festival... Zhao Ji's birthday is the tenth day of October, which is the Tianning Festival.

Zhao Huanjun and his ministers felt that this was a great opportunity to severely injure the Qian army, and perhaps solve the crisis of the Qian army invasion once and for all.

Later, Yao Gubu and Orihiko Zhibu finally came to Zezhou.

……

In addition, during the period when Li Cun led his army to encircle Bianliang City in Tokyo, those officials who performed poorly or did not conform to the current main battle ethos of the Zhao Song Dynasty were also dismissed by Zhao Huan.

Although he also proposed "reforming the horse administration, that is, it is suggested that the horses should be raised in Bianliang City, Tokyo, and scattered in various armies to raise horses" and "detain households and land, and recruit rural soldiers".

But the enemy army did not retreat, and immediately attacked Huang Di's army stronghold, and immediately launched a counterattack against the Song army.

The Song army all obeyed Huang Di's order, closed the gate of the village and did not fight.

Therefore, under the persecution of Zhao Huanjun and his ministers, Zhong Shizhong led his army out of Jingxing Pass from Tumen and marched towards Yuci.

So Zhao Huan happily named his birthday "Qianlong Festival".

At the same time, Zhong Shizhong wrote to Yao Gu and Zhang Hao, agreeing that the three armies would go their separate ways.

Therefore, Yao Gu and Ori Yanzhi were very cautious when leading the army.

After reading the imperial edict, Mr. Zhong sighed and said: "It's funny, the soldiers are killing me. I have joined the army and never retreated. I am old now. I can bear it as a crime!"

On behalf of the civil and military officials of the Zhao Song Dynasty, Xu Churen requested that Zhao Huan's birthday be named "Qianlong Festival".

Pi general Jiao Anjie and others saw that the horse army of the army was too fierce, and spread rumors that "the army of the army is fierce and invincible. If everyone fights again, they will all be left here by the army of the army, with no bones left", shaking the morale of the army. , and urged Yao Gu to withdraw from Longde Mansion.

The first is the [-] Western Army led by Yao Gu and Zhe Yanzhi. This part of the Song Army has been staying in the Zezhou area.

After Zhao Huan discussed with all the ministers, he agreed to these proposals of Zhong Shidao.

Xu Han believed that the troops in the middle of the Zhongshi Division attacked from the side, and the troops from Yao Gu and Zhang Hao attacked from the front. The three main forces together were close to 20, so there was no reason why Taiyuan City could not be saved.

Therefore, the men and horses in the middle of the planting division, the military discipline was loose on the march, and they walked casually.The soldiers did not wear hard and sharp weapons, and even the weapons used in combat were handed over to the guards to carry them.The whole army is unready for battle.What's more, because the planting division was in a hurry to march, they didn't bring enough food and supplies, which caused a serious shortage of food in the army, so that from the middle of the planting division, each person was only given a spoonful of black beans to eat every day, and the soldiers were starving. Forbearance, exhausted, which made the morale of the middle division low, and the combat effectiveness was very weak.

At the meeting, Xu Han suggested to Zhao Huan that the situation in the left and right of Hebei was also stabilized, so he ordered the [-] Western Army elite led by Zhong Shizhong to advance westward to rescue Taiyuan City, and at the same time ordered Yao Gu and Zhang Hao to lead their respective troops. The troops of the headquarters quickly went northward, and the three armies fought against each other to break the siege of Taiyuan.

In terms of military strength, the Song Army had more than twice as many troops as Yue Fei had.

Soon, the rest of the villages were all broken by the enemy army, and the remnants of the Song army retreated towards Fenzhou...

The civil and military officials of the Zhao Song Dynasty used "Qianlong" as a metaphor for Zhao Huan, hoping that Zhao Huan could set things right, work hard, and revive the glory of the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Zhao Huan had to fill in the vacancies left by these officials as soon as possible.

In the end, Zhong Shizhong was shot by Liu Ya and died. He hated the battlefield and died heroically for his country.

However, it may be because of YY that he annihilated the Daqian Dynasty and became an emperor through the ages, so that Zhao Huan was extremely happy.

Then, it was Zhao Huan's birthday.

The planter wanted to reward these god-armed archers, but he didn't have enough silver bowls, so he had to give up.

The two generals of the Song Army Division and Yao Gu won consecutive victories, defeated 10,000+ Song Army, and captured a large area of ​​land. Yue Fei, who was only 23 years old, became famous...
