Qian Song

...

After the coffin of Master Zhong was escorted to Bianliang City, Tokyo by his nephew Zhong Mian, Zhao Huan burst into tears, and wrote a sacrificial oration to Master Zhong himself, saying: "You are a tiger minister, and you forget your body! "

Zhao Huan also sent Zhang Shi, his servant, to sacrifice to Zhong Shizhong on his behalf.

Afterwards, Zhao Huan made Zhong Shizhong the envoy of the Township German Army Jiedu, established the third division of Yitong, and promoted 20 descendants of the Zhong family to serve as officials in the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

Soon after, Zhao Huanjun and his ministers were held accountable for the defeat. Wang Congdao, the commander of the Central Army, and Zhang Shizheng, the commander of the Shengjie Army, were beheaded by the Zhao Song court.

but--

People of insight privately said that Zhao Huan and Xu Han should be most responsible for the defeat. If they didn't know how to fight, they would still want someone to command the front-line battle in Bianliang City, Tokyo, and force the middle division to hurry up. Marching to break the siege of Taiyuan City and defeating the Gan army, and not allowing the Zhongshi to raise their own troops, the Zhongshi will not advance rashly, and the Song Army will not be defeated like this.

In addition, some people concluded that the main reason for the Song army's defeat this time was that there was no unified coach. Zhong Shizhong, Yao Gu and Zhang Hao all fought on their own, and Yue Fei seized the opportunity to defeat them one by one.

Zhong Shizhong's brother Zhong Shidao was very sad when he died in battle.

But Zhong Shidao can no longer take care of sadness, he is already [-]% sure that after the fall of Gaoma this year, Li Cun will definitely lead his troops to attack Song Dynasty again.

Therefore, Zhong Shidao tried his best to refuse Zhao Huan's appointment, saying that he was old and sick now, and he really couldn't be the commander-in-chief of the front line. If he reluctantly went to the front line, he might miss the major events of the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Bai Qi had to go on the road with illness. After discussing with Fan Ju, King Zhaoxiang sent an envoy to give Bai Qi a sword to kill himself on the grounds that "Bai Qi refused to obey the order for a long time, which led to the defeat of the Qin army."

Yue Fei's combat achievements this time are not small, but they are still far from the level of high achievements.

Based on this, Zhong Shidao wrote a memorial to Zhao Huan, asking Zhao Huan to transfer troops from the Six Routes of Shaanxi, Hedong, Hebei, and Gyeonggi, and station them on the front lines of Cang, Wei, Meng, and Hua, that is, to abandon Hebei and Hedong and concentrate their superior forces along the border. Deploy defenses along the banks of the Yellow River to prevent the Qian army from going south, and strengthen the southern defense line, so that the Qian army must never go north as easily as last year.

Although Zhao Huan quickly made a lot of money to solve financial problems.

Because of such a thing, since then no one dared to persuade this matter.

Zhao Huan even directly ordered someone to draft an imperial edict, to cultivate the teacher's way to the front line.

But even so, Li Cun transferred Wu Lin to replace Yue Fei.

Unlike before, he was single-minded on the main battle. After becoming prime minister, Xu Churen encountered many practical difficulties that he had to consider, such as financial difficulties that he had previously ignored.

Yue Fei was even more angry and directly sent a memorial to Li Cun asking to go home for his father Yue and Ding You.

When Zhong Shidao learned that Zhao Huan and his ministers had negotiated such a stupid result, he became disheartened. Therefore, he formally proposed to Zhao Huan to be an official on the grounds that he was old and sick, hoping that he could retire and return to his hometown.

However, Zhao Huan did not agree to withdraw troops from Hebei and Hedong.

——Because he went to live in Ezhou with a pleasant climate, Yue He lived two years longer than in history, but he passed away the year before last. According to the etiquette of this era, Yue Fei should have returned home for three years. However, given the military situation at that time Nervous, Li Cun ordered Yue Fei to continue to control the Longxiang army. Now, it is reasonable for Yue Fei to propose to go home for Yue and Ding You.

Yue Fei didn't know if it was his own illusion, Li Gang's smile just now seemed to have a deep meaning.

Zhao Huan thought about it again and again, but still couldn't make up his mind, and finally he called Xu Churen, Wu Min, Geng Nanzhong and other chief executives to discuss whether the plan of cultivating the way of teachers was feasible?

But this still cannot fill in the huge shortfall of 1000 million taels of gold and [-] million taels of silver.

At the same time, Zhao Huan appointed Liu Wei, the appeasement envoy of Zhendingfu Road, as the deputy envoy of Hebei Xuanfu, and led [-] troops north to Zhongshan Mansion to prevent the Qian army from going south from Hebei again.

Zhao Huan thought that Chen Gongfu, Chen Guoting, and the Taiwan official Yu Yingqiu who agreed with them were lobbying himself for the sake of being a teacher, so he was furious, dismissed the three of them in court, and drove them all out of the court.

In fact, Zhao Huan also attached great importance to Zhong Shidao's suggestion, but he was a little undecided, should he implement it like this?
After all, if Zhong Shidao's suggestion is adopted, it is basically equivalent to giving up Hebei and Hedong.

In front of the Yaochi Palace, Yue Fei met Li Gang who was appointed by Li Cun as Yan Yun Xuanfu envoy before Li Cun led his army south last year.

As a result, the monarch and his subjects became deadlocked...

So, gradually, no one cared about Li Cun's personal hobby.

not understand.

Can't figure it out.

Zhao Huan then issued an imperial edict, appointing Xie Qian to replace Yao Gu as deputy envoy of Hedong Zhizhi, and Zhe Yanzhi as the deputy envoy of Hedong Xuanfu Division, ordering the two to immediately take over the remnants of the Song army under Yao Gu's hands, and then enter Hedong, together with Zhang Hao's troops, continued to Taiyuan to relieve the siege of Taiyuan City.

But it was precisely because of this that Yue Fei couldn't figure out why Li Cun transferred him back under such a good situation?
"Could it be that the officials suspected that I was unfaithful?!"

Master Zhong understood that Xu Han was telling him that if he continued to complain of illness and refused to accept the order, he would be the second one to get up in vain.

Therefore, Wanyan Wu Qimai sent Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang a garrison in Yanzi City to keep eyeing Yundi, and a garrison in Bei'an Prefecture, looking for opportunities to go south from the Liaoxi Corridor or from Yanjing.

But this did not change Zhao Huan's mind.

The Jin people are cunning and shrewd. They know that if they don't take advantage of the time when the Daqian Dynasty is fighting the Song Dynasty, they will help the Zhao Song Dynasty.

You know, Li Cun just took away 1000 million taels of gold and [-] million taels of silver from Bianliang City, Tokyo.

However, Wu Min and Geng Nanzhong insisted that no one can subdue the hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line except for cultivating the way of teachers.

But Li Cun did not flinch because of this. He boldly appointed Li Gang, a descendant of Zhao and Song Dynasties, as the Xuanfu envoy of Yanyun, and then handed over the north of the Dagan Dynasty to Li Gang with great confidence, and let Li Gang lead Wu Jie, Su Dong Waiting for the generals to stick to the north of the Dagan Dynasty, while he himself led the army south to attack the Song Dynasty.

After Li Cun had read Yue Fei's memorial, he directly asked his servant to pass an oral order to Yue Fei: "Go to Yanjing."

In fact, Zhao Huan also heard the analysis of those insightful people. The main reason for the defeat of the Zhao Song Dynasty this time was that the Song Army did not have a unified command. He felt that if he appointed a frontline commander like Yue Fei like Li Cun, instead of He worked hard to command from Bianliang City, Tokyo, and the Song Army might not be defeated. Therefore, Zhao Huan also wanted Zhong Shidao to leave Huazhou and go to the front line to serve as the pre-war commander-in-chief. Worry about it.

Yue Fei wanted to deny it, but with his straightforward personality, he couldn't say such hypocritical words, especially in front of Li Cun, whom he admired very much.

Geng Nanzhong's proposal was supported by Wu Min.

But killing donkeys is not Li Cun's style at all—one of the reasons why Li Cun is admired all the time is that Li Cun will be rewarded for his meritorious deeds, even Guo Yaoshi's three-surname domestic slave, because he has made many achievements. Battle exploits, and not die.

However, He Li, the right minister of the Shangshu and the servant of the Zhongshu, firmly believes that the ancestral land must never be abandoned. If the Zhao Song Dynasty really ceded Hebei and Hedong to the Dagan Dynasty for peace, it would only make the Dagan Dynasty Being more powerful will also make the people of the Zhao and Song Dynasty fall into enemy territory. This will definitely make the Song people disappointed with the Zhao and Song Dynasty, and then fall into the embrace of the Dagan Dynasty. The key point is that Li Cun wants Hebei and Hedong, which is not the ultimate goal at all. , it is bound to seize the Central Plains and connect the territories of the Dagan Dynasty together.

In addition, the various tribes on the prairie did not stop. They always wanted to go south and cross the Great Wall to attack the Grass Valley. Sometimes, they dared to go south to attack the pass of the Dagan Dynasty with a force of three to five thousand people.

Before leaving, Zhong Shidao once again wrote to Zhao Huan, saying: "I have no reason to return when I am sick. After I go out, if there is no difficulty, I will lead the army forward bravely. To die in the battle, my wish Yes. However, if you die in battle, Your Majesty, please don’t hesitate any longer. Immediately dispatch troops from Shaanxi, Hebei, Hedong, and Gyeonggi along the banks of the Yellow River to guard the Cang, Wei, Meng, and Hua lines. Concentrate superior forces to prevent autumn .I hope His Majesty can observe the loneliness and loyalty of the ministers, and use the righteousness of the whole monarch and ministers."

After Liu Fan took the order, he quickly led the [-] elite troops from Zhending Mansion to the north with Wang Yuan, the general manager of Zhending Mansion Road, and Li Zhi, who was in charge of Qian.

Yue Fei didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly followed Liu Xuan into the palace.

But Zhong Shidao thinks that it is meaningless to fight like this, and he can't win the Dagan Dynasty at all, because so far, the Dagan Dynasty has not really done anything, so the most urgent thing for the Zhao Song Dynasty now is not to follow It is impossible for the Dagan Dynasty to compete for Hebei and Hedong. Instead, they should first keep the basic territory south of the Yellow River and don't lose it. See if you can cross the Yellow River and recover Hebei and Hedong.

——He is not a general who followed Li Cun halfway like Wu Lin and the others. He has followed Li Cun since his debut. He is a general who Li Cun promoted little by little. Given him a chance, it is impossible for him to become the only general in the current Daqian Dynasty, so it is too late for him to be grateful to Li Cun, so how could he be disloyal to Li Cun?

The north of the Dagan Dynasty did not stop.

Fortunately, although Li Cun likes women, he has never missed anything because of women.

Geng Nanzhong argued that the Zhaosong Dynasty is currently weak, while the Dagan Dynasty is now in full swing and has a strong army. Hedong was ceded to the Dagan Dynasty in exchange for peace, so that they could keep the country and society of the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

Fan Ju, the favorite minister of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, wanted Bai Qi to lead the army to attack Handan, but Bai Qi repeatedly claimed that he was ill and refused to accept the order. Three months later, news of the defeat of the Qin army kept coming from Handan. Bai Qi left immediately and could not stay.

However, many people still remember that when Li Gang was in the Zhao and Song Dynasty, he was just a small official who supervised the taxation of Shaxian County, South Jianzhou.

Changing generals before the battle has always been a taboo for military strategists.

Therefore, Xu Churen did not support the plan of cultivating the way of teachers this time. Instead, he firmly believed that the cost of a hundred thousand troops would cost thousands of dollars a day. The Zhao Song Dynasty is currently in financial difficulties. Displaying heavy troops, if they think too much in the end and Li Cun has no intention of attacking the Zhao Song Dynasty again, wouldn't that make the Zhao Song Dynasty's already extremely tight finances even worse?
Zhao Huan felt that Xu Churen's proposition was very reasonable. The Zhao and Song Dynasty really had no money and could not be wasted like this, so he did not adopt Zhong Shidao's suggestion.

As for the fear of Yue Fei's military exploits, this is even more out of the question.

……

Li Cun didn't say anything to Yue Fei, but said casually: "Show it to him."

The censor Chen Gongfu and the censor Zhongcheng Chen Guoting also said that Zhong Shidao's health is too bad now, and he cannot be allowed to go to the front line again.

Zhongshi’s way of teaching was really unstoppable, so he wrote a letter again stating: "If the envoys are reckless and forcefully go to the front line, if there is any chance, it will destroy my Great Song Dynasty forever. Moreover, if the ministers are called to command the troops, the ministers will give orders. The army retreats to the Yellow River and sticks to it, is it okay?"

But the problem is that if the Zhao and Song Dynasties did not cede Hebei and Hedong, it was absolutely impossible for Li Cun to withdraw his troops from Hebei and Hedong, so the war would have to continue.

Yue Fei came to Li Cun's body in a regular manner, and said: "My minister Yue Fei, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Therefore, Li Cun has always been admired for employing people.

In Li Cun's words: "Li Boji has the talent of a prime minister."

The point is, who is Li Cun? He fought from south to north without a single defeat. In a few years, he established the emperor of the world's first empire. Even Li Cun's achievements in battle cannot be shocked.

No one can understand what Li Cun is thinking?
It's not that no one doubts that Li Cun is killing donkeys, or he is afraid of Yue Fei's military exploits, or he prefers Wu Lin, who has guarded the south for Li Cun for several years.

Li Gang smiled warmly at Yue Fei, and then strode away from the palace.

However, Yue Fei also knew that their Majesty had no other problems except women.

Li Gang has lived up to Li Cun's trust in him. In the past two years, no barbarians have been able to cross the Great Wall and go south to the grass valley, and the Yanyun area, both politically and economically, has developed very well, even if Li Cun did not come from the south. After transporting the grain, the Yanyun area no longer had the turmoil and famine as it did during the Liao and Song reigns, and Yanyun, an area where the lakes and Hans lived together, was completely stabilized.

Another one, Zhong Shidao's body is really failing. He is already 76 years old, and now he is plagued by old diseases, and he hangs his life with one breath and his strong obsession.

Zhong Shidao had no choice but to drag his old and seriously ill body and lead more than 1 horses to the expedition.

At the same time that the Zhao and Song Dynasties dispatched troops and generals, the Dagan Dynasty also changed generals here in Hedong.

With such grievance and anger, Yue Fei followed Liu Xuan into the Yaochi Palace.

As soon as Geng Nanzhong's proposition came out, he immediately got the support of ministers such as Wang Shiyong, Xie Kejia, Li Hui, Li Zhuo, Sun Zhi, Wang Jizhi, and Liu Guan.

——No one knows what Li Cun was thinking, but actually transferred Wu Lin from the south and replaced Yue Fei.

in fact--

Zhao Huan thought about ceding Hebei and Hedong to Li Cun. He was really sorry for the ancestors of the Zhao family, and He Li was right. Li Cun's ultimate goal must be to seize the Central Plains. It is impossible to seek eternal peace if it is ceded to Li Cun.

As soon as he entered, Yue Fei saw Li Cun lying on a dragon couch in the middle of the hall, and dozens of Yingying and Yanyan around Li Cun were surrounding him to loosen Li Cun's bones, and Li Cun was holding hands in the east and west. Had a great time playing with them.

Facts have proved that Li Gang is indeed a prime minister.

After Yue Fei heard Li Cun's oral order, he was full of anger and aggrieved, but he didn't dare to disobey Li Cun's order. He could only hand over all the military forces in Hedong to Wu Lin who hurried from Yingtian Mansion as soon as possible. He returned to Yanjing with his own soldiers.

In the end, Yue Fei could only stammer and say: "I...don't dare."

For Zhong Shidao's statement, Zhao Huan was very pleased and moved.

Li Cun didn't raise his head, and said, "I can't figure out why I would replace you? Angry? Wronged?"

Regarding this, not only Yue Fei had nothing to do, but Lu Jiang, Li Gang and others could only follow Li Cun's temper.

Later, Xu Han personally went to Huazhou to find Master Zhongdao, and then wrote the word "Du You" on the table with his hands dipped in tea.

At the same time, Geng Nanzhong raised the banner of peace.

For Li Gang, no matter in terms of ability or character, Yue Fei and other people in the Daqian Dynasty have nothing but admiration.

Bai Qi finally committed suicide in Duyou.

Thinking of this possibility, Yue Fei felt even more wronged!

What's more, Yue Fei won the battle in Hedong. Not only did he have no problems at all, he also defeated the two generals Zhong and Yao Gu of the Zhao Song Dynasty in a row, and defeated the 10,000+ army of the Zhao Song Dynasty. pretty.

As soon as Yue Fei arrived in Yanjing, Liu Xuan came to him and asked Yue Fei to enter the palace immediately to face the saint.

Chen Kuutong, who was drinking tea in the corner, heard the words and showed Yue Fei a thick stack of rice paper.

Seeing this, the extremely feminine Yue Fei couldn't help frowning.

——It is precisely because of this that Zhendingfu City, the strongest and most important geographically located city in Hebei, has become an empty city...

How should we fight this battle?
Seeing that Zhao Huan was unwilling to negotiate a peace, Geng Nanzhong suggested instead that if there was another fight this time, Zhong Shidao had to go to the front line to unify the command in person, and only then could victory be possible.

In other words, the Dagan Dynasty launched a war against the Zhao and Song Dynasty, but it was actually done under a lot of pressure.

Yue Fei didn't pretend to evade, he was puzzled, he simply took the stack of rice papers handed to him by Chen Goutong, and then stood in front of Li Cun and carefully read it...

During this process, Li Cun didn't care that Yue Fei was right in front of him, he was there accepting the service of the concubines he had just received recently, flirting with these concubines at the same time, so happy...
