Qian Song

Chapter 255 Concubine Chen Miaozhen (Ask for a monthly ticket!)

...

After Jieqian Department and Liu Kai Department were defeated by Wu Lin Department and Zhao Li Department respectively, the main force of the Song Army in Hebei and Hedong, or even the current main force of the Song Army, was Zhang Hao, the son of Zhang Xiaochun who was stationed in Fenzhou. Complete establishment.

In this Song army, the commander Zhang Sizheng alone has 17 troops (including regular troops and militias)-his department has always claimed to have millions of soldiers.

In addition, Zhe Keqiu, Liu Guangshi, Ji Jing and other ministries.

The total strength of Zhang Hao's Song Army is as high as 25, which is about [-] more than the combined cadres of Hebei and Hedong.

In terms of the number of soldiers and horses alone, Zhang Hao's department, which has never fought against the Gan army, is the most numerous of the three main forces of the Song army.

When the Jieqian Department and Liu Kai Department went to rescue Taiyuan, Zhang Hao also dispatched Zhang Sizheng, Zhe Keqiu, Liu Guangshi, Ji Jing and other generals to lead troops to Guozha Town.

In fact, Wu Lin has long been eyeing Zhang Hao's department, the last reliance of the Zhao Song Dynasty.

In order to defeat Zhang Hao's Song army in one fell swoop and completely clear the obstacles to Li Cun's southward movement, Wu Lin mobilized all the elite to wait for the opportunity.

After all, Yang Zaixing personally led You Yi's army to move towards the Song army's camp.

Most of the Song army in Zhang Hao's department were new soldiers who had never fought against the Gan army. They had never seen such a brave soldier who was not afraid of death.

But Tang Ke said to Zhao Huan: "Today's frontier affairs are very urgent, and the survival of the Song Dynasty is already at stake. The current problems of reform should not be rushed for a while, and we should first devote ourselves to dealing with the frontier affairs. The speaker ignores the general situation and is entangled in the past. Wouldn’t it hurt the heart of the Supreme Daojun? Cai Jing, Cai You, Wang Fu, and Tong Guan’s disciples have already been dismissed, so let’s do it for the time being. Things are set in the future, and then I will tell you, please come down. An imperial edict should be discarded by the whole world, who would say it is not acceptable?"

At this point in the current situation, after weighing the pros and cons, Tang Ke believes that at the current stage, only by cede territory and negotiate peace can the Zhao and Song Dynasty be preserved. As for the future, it depends on the situation.

However, Zhang Sizheng and other Song generals used the marching speed of the Song army to speculate on the marching speed of the Qian army, thinking that the Qian army could not come too fast, so they procrastinated in building fortifications.

When the battle was at its most intense, Yang Zaixing took over Zhang Hao's tent for the Chinese army.

Later, although Zhang Hao escaped with his life, after leaving Wenshui, Zhang Hao had only hundreds of tooth soldiers left under his command. They protected Zhang Hao all the way west and fled to Cixi before stopping.

At this time, someone found out that Ji Jing did not stick to Shiling Pass and fled away from Shiling Pass, which caused the army to go south easily.

So, more than ten days later, Wu Lin lured Zhang Hao's Song Army to Wenshui County, and pretended to defeat the Song Army twice in a row, paralyzing the enemy.

Some people accused Ji Jing of being greedy for life and fear of death, and not fighting desperately;

Taiyuan City and the three towns in Hebei, which were temporarily put aside by Li Cun, were also within the scope of this sweep.

In the chaos, there were tens of thousands of people who were killed or injured by trampling each other, and the pits and valleys were full.

At this time, the leadership team of the Zhao Song Dynasty became: Prime Minister Tang Ke, He Li as the Minister of Zhongshu, Geng Nanzhong as the Zuocheng of the Shangshu, Chen Guoting as the Youcheng of the Shangshu, Zhong Dao knew the affairs of the Privy Council, Nie Chang (Nie Chang) Shan, Zhao Huan changed his name for him) and knew the affairs of the Privy Council.

When summing up after the war, Zhang Hao and others felt a little puzzled, and even felt a little strange that the Ji Jing Department had no loss at all, and the whole army rushed back to Fenzhou.

In the eyes of people in this era, the appearance of comets often indicates that wars, plagues and other disasters are coming.

Seeing that Zhao Huan was making a big fuss, some ministers comforted Zhao Huan: "Your Majesty is wise and diligent in governing. How can God send divine punishment? This must be a sign of the decline of a great leader, not a worry for China."

In other words, this time Li Cun will completely occupy Hebei and Hedong.

The effect of alcohol, coupled with the exhaustion of two battles in a row.

Zhao Huan, who had achieved his goal of seizing imperial power and had recollected it, felt that what Tang Ke had said to him before was good words, so after dismissing Xu Churen and Wu Min, Zhao Huan appointed Tang Ke as prime minister.

What is even more commendable is that Chen Miaozhen not only rescues her own personnel, but also treats the enemy personnel with all her heart. She has thoroughly implemented the "doctor's benevolence" that Li Cun casually told her.

How can these sleepy-eyed generals of the Song army who haven't even found their weapons be able to withstand the impact of the most aggressive You Yi army among the Qian army?

Relying on the imperfect fortifications, the Song army fought back desperately, shooting arrows and cannon stones together, and the momentum was very scary.

And Zhang Sizheng led the remnants of the defeated generals to flee back to Fenzhou for an inventory. There were only more than 17 people and about [-] horses in the [-] army.

It is no exaggeration to say that Li Cun's rule is so stable, and Chen Miaozhen's credit is indispensable.

Zhao Huan granted special privileges to the governors of various provinces: matters can be decided exclusively, wealth can be used in general, officials can be replaced, and soldiers can be punished and rewarded.

The comet is several feet long, shooting like a sharp arrow towards Bianliang City, Tokyo.

At the same time, Li Cun also began to move south...

After hearing these words, the soldiers of the Song Army thought it was true, and they put down their weapons and surrendered one after another.

But Tang Ke remained unmoved, and devoted himself to controlling the flood.

Meng Changling was furious and impeached Tang Ke.

During the reign of Daguan, Tang Ke was appointed as the foreigner of the Tuntian, and he took the talisman to recruit the barbarians.

——A lot of people are saying that the officials of Mrs. Chen Shishi should be the master of the world, otherwise An Neng is worthy of Mrs. Chen?
While Chen Miaozhen was treating the wounded, the political cadres unique to the Dagan Dynasty also began to dispatch one after another, going to the captives to remember bitterness and sweetness...

Ever since he was sent by Li Cun to reinforce the Hedong theater, Yang Zaixing has been trying to fight a big battle to prove his strength.

The Daqian Dynasty cleared all major obstacles to going south again.

On the same day when Li Cun went south, a comet suddenly appeared in the sky above Bianliang City in Tokyo.

The Yi people began to be afraid and suspicious, and wore armor under their clothes to meet Tang Ke.

It is not an exaggeration to say that at that time Yang Zaixing had less than a hundred riders under him, otherwise Zhang Hao would have to be beheaded by Yang Zaixing.

It just so happens that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th.

Tang Ke enlightened the son of the gentry with good words of reason. He realized his self-repentance, changed his original behavior, and became a kind-hearted person.

Zhang Shuye, the magistrate of Dengzhou, was the director of the South Road, and Gao Gongchun was the deputy director;

In the Battle of Wenshui, Zhang Sizheng, the main force of Zhang Hao's army, suffered heavy losses. The 17 troops were killed, wounded, and captured more than [-]. Only the envoys and generals lost more than [-]. Zhang Sizheng's Song Army finally retreated safely. It was only about [-]%, and the hundreds of thousands of gold, silver, money, food, silk and other strategic materials carried by his army were almost all abandoned.

Soon, those soldiers of the Song army who had fled to the mountains with nowhere to go were also persuaded to surrender.

Moreover, this comet also passed the Emperor Constellation star.

Tang Ke, the new prime minister of the Zhao and Song Dynasties, lost his father at the age of four, and later ascended the throne with his father's shadow. The current Shaozai and Zhongshu Shilang.

Knowing that Zhang Hao's Song army was marching towards Guozha Town, Wu Lin immediately led his army to Guozha Town.

Tang Ke said: "I am a lieutenant, so I can't be arrested for stealing, let alone serve the dead?"

There are also a large number of soldiers of the Song Army who withdrew to the mountain because they could not see the direction in the dark, and then these soldiers of the Song Army discovered that there was a cliff behind the mountain, and there was no way to go.

Some of the soldiers of the Song army who were dispersed fled to other Song armies, and some fled to the Taihang Mountains to become bandits.

Therefore, after receiving Wu Lin's order, Yang Zaixing led You Yijun to the Song Army's camp without saying a word.

Zhao Ye, the magistrate of Daming Prefecture, was appointed as the governor of Beidao, and Fan Na was appointed as the deputy governor of Beidao;

Tang Ke asked dozens of guards to evacuate, and went alone.

The Zhuhe faction said: "Now we have no invincible army in the Song Dynasty. If we don't abandon Hebei and Hedong, how can we survive the country?"

At the same time, Wu Lin was not reconciled, and only hurt the fur of Zhang Hao's Song Army, but did not completely defeat Zhang Hao's Song Army.

The county magistrate said: "If you don't, you will be tired."

He said to Zhao Huan: "The east of Hebei is the northern barrier of the Song Dynasty. Without Hebei, Tokyo would not be the capital. Without Hebei, Shaanxi would be in danger. How can we cut it off?" In order to contain the impact, simply ban the brigade to prepare for going out, and block the river to block the way back. There is a strong city in front, and a big river in the back. Strong soldiers are coming from all sides. If the dry army dares to come again, they will fall into my net. I wish to inspire courage A man of righteousness, set up an ambush switch, catch him by surprise, and sweep his camp to repay."

When the Yi people saw it, they shouted happily, dropped their weapons and obeyed the order.

But unfortunately, it still came to the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Zhao Huan liked Tang Ke's experience very much, and directly appointed him as the Minister of Zhongshu.

Over the years, Chen Miaozhen has been committed to treating diseases and saving lives. From south to north, it can be said that wherever Li Cun goes, he follows. People receive medical treatment and medicine for free.

Moreover, the dry army has now evolved. Before the hand-to-hand combat, first launch a wave of concentrated bombing with thunderbolts to disrupt the enemy, and then launch a tactic of attacking with horses.

Now the opportunity has finally come.

The main battle faction said: "The people in Hebei and Hedong are all my sons. If you abandon the land, you will abandon it with the people. Is it the parents' intention?"

When Tang Ke was the magistrate of Yuci, there was a son of a gentry in the county who dominated the village, gathered fugitives, sheltered treacherous people, and refused to pay taxes. None of the magistrates dared to ask.

In the end, Zhao Huan made up his mind to send Taichang Shaoqing Liu Cen, Zongzheng Shaoqing Zongze, and secretary Li Ruoshui to Yanjing to meet Li Cun and negotiate peace.

The person who recruited the surrender was very talented. He said: "This civil war, you and I are both Han people. There was no life and death enmity before, so why bother to fight to the death... I have a heartfelt statement, the surname Li or Zhao in this world is the same as that of ordinary people like us. What's the matter, I wait for the small people to live and work in peace and contentment... If you love the army, I will pay two and a half cents a month for the low-ranking soldiers, and all the civilians will be paid. I have also heard that most of our generals are from the Zhao Song Army, and that General Wu Lin, who is in charge of this battle, is also from the Zhao Song Western Army. If there are really heroes among you, come to me, and there will be room for heroes..."

However, the Gan army was not afraid of death. Wu Lin used the heavy cavalry in front and the light cavalry in the rear, desperately attacking, and the horses rushed straight towards the Song army's camp.

What's more, this comet is too weird, and it seems to be coming towards Bianliang City, Tokyo.

Zhang Sizheng let the soldiers of the Song Army drink a little wine, which can be regarded as a Mid-Autumn Festival for the soldiers.

Tang Ke, who was the servant of the household department at the time, was ordered to control the flood when he was in danger.

So far, all the organized main forces of the Song Army have been smashed by the Qian Army.

Such a dry army is simply not something the Song army can resist.

Hu Zhiru, the magistrate of Yingtian Prefecture, was the chief manager of the host, and Zhu Shengfei was the deputy chief manager.

——Yang Zaixing saw that this kind of killing was too slow, he boldly divided You Yijun into [-] teams, and rushed to kill in all directions.

Zhao Ji praised Tang Ke greatly: "The state of the ancestral temple is safe, and the strength of Qing is also there."

After Zhao Huan saw the comet, he was very disturbed and even terrified. He immediately issued an imperial edict to reflect on his mistakes, and ordered to be blunt, reduce the usual meals, and let the maids go.

And Geng Nanzhong, who had won the trust of Zhao Huan, advocated peace talks from beginning to end.He advocated following the example of the Battle of Chanyuan and using taxes from Hebei and Hedong to redeem Hebei and Hedong in exchange for peace between the two countries.If the Dagan Dynasty disagrees, it must reluctantly cede Hebei and Hedong to seek peace.In his view, war means death.

When Tang Ke was transferred to Cangzhou, the Yellow River burst its embankment and flooded the city. Tang Ke went to the city to repair it.Meng Changling, the governor of the capital, sent an official document asking for ships and soldiers. Tang Ke reported that the water was raging, and the ships should be used for emergencies; Cangzhou was the farthest border, and the army did not dare to dispatch without the emperor's order.

The main combat faction and the main peace faction debated fiercely in front of Zhao Huan.

Tang Ke was recommended to Zhao Huan by Li Bangyan.

Although Zhao Huan has issued an edict to explain that he has done nothing wrong.

After the celebration, all the top and bottom of the Song Army fell into a deep sleep, and the Song Army camp with an army of 20 million became very quiet.

Some people suggested that the south embankment be broken to relieve the flood in Miyagi.

In less than half a month, the water in Bianliang City in Tokyo receded.

Moreover, to the astonishment of the generals of the Song Army, the chief physician who treated their injuries turned out to be the real imperial concubine—Chen Miaozhen, the concubine of the Dagan Dynasty.

In May of the first year of Xuanhe, Bianliang City in Tokyo was submerged by storm water, and the situation was very critical.

……

The Qian army defeated the Song army and broke through Guozha Town. The Song army of Zhang Hao's department fled back to Fenzhou.

Both sides have the meaning of fighting again.

In the past two days, they have won two games in a row against the Qian army, which made the soldiers of the Song army proud and complacent, and relaxed, thinking that the Qian army was nothing more than that.

But Yang Zaixing still thinks it's not enough.

Zhao Huan felt that what Tan Shiji said was very reasonable, so he issued an edict explaining that since he took the throne, he has been cautious day and night, usually works in the palace, and rarely returns to the harem; ;A total of more than 1 court ladies were released, they stayed away from singing and dancing, and they were not good at women; prepared Taiwan admonitions, communicated widely, read letters from officials and people until the second watch, hoping to be able to warn themselves.However, the astronomical observers reported that the comet appeared, which was quite different from the previous records.He was afraid of the power of the sky and did not dare to live in peace, so he issued an edict to prevent the suffering of the people, eliminate the harshness and relieve the raging, hoping to inspire harmony and auspicious omens.

But as soon as this new team was established, serious disagreements occurred.

In addition, whenever there is a war, Chen Miaozhen will bring a large number of doctors to the battlefield to rescue the dying and heal the wounded.

At dawn the next day, Wu Lin sent Yang Zaixing, a strong general of the dry army, to lead an army of [-] Youyi to attack Zhang Sizheng's troops at night.

It is not difficult to see from Tang Ke's resume that Tang Ke not only has a rich resume, but also has the courage and ability to solve crisis incidents.

Wang Xiang, the magistrate of Henan Prefecture, was the chief manager of the West Road, and Sun Zhaoyuan was the deputy director of the West Road;

He Li, who was famous in the ruling and opposition parties for overthrowing Wang Fu, also resolutely opposed the cession of land for peace. He said: "Hebei and Hedong are the foundation of the country. How can they be abandoned once they are abandoned?" ? It will come if you cut it, and it will come if you don’t cut it!"

As for those who did not go up the mountain and failed to evacuate in time, they were soon surrounded by the large troops brought by Wu Lin who came later.

Some time ago, most of the ministers of the Zhao Song Dynasty were committed to liquidating the powerful officials of Zhao Ji's era, and even Zhao Huan was taking advantage of that opportunity to seize the imperial power.

Tang Ke argued for that man.

Zhao Huan thought so too. The three main forces of the Song Army were all defeated by the Gan army. What can they do to fight the Gan army?

When Zhong Shidao was not in Bianliang City, Tokyo, Nie Chang was the military No. 1. As soon as he came to power, he opposed the cession of land and negotiated peace, and he was very confident in defeating the Daqian Dynasty.

What the generals of the Song Army never expected was that after they surrendered, the Dagan Dynasty not only properly arranged their board and lodging, but also sent specialized doctors and nurses to treat the wounded among them.

Zhang Sizheng, Zhe Keqiu, Liu Guangshi, Ji Jing and other Song generals led troops into Guozha Town, and when they learned that Wu Lin was coming to fight with them, they organized soldiers to dig deep trenches and build high forts in Guozha Town. .

So Song Jun fled from the army village one after another.

After a little investigation, Zhang Hao confirmed that what the generals said were all true, and then ordered Ji Jing and other 52 people to be publicly executed.

It wasn't until Yang Zaixing led You Yijun into the camp of the Song Army that the soldiers of the Song Army were awakened from their dreams.

Afterwards, Zhang Hao restrained the Song army defeated by Wu Lin and prepared to fight again.

Zhao Huan ordered them to prepare for battle immediately, and in case of emergency, they would be summoned by Yu Xi to defend Bianliang City in Tokyo.

Then, regardless of personal safety, Tang Ke took a small boat to investigate the facts of the storm on the spot, in order to make the best use of the situation, and finally broke the golden embankment and poured the storm water into the Yellow River.

Like Xu Churen, Tang Ke started from the grassroots and was gradually promoted to the position of prime minister.

When Tang Ke first became the county captain of Chen County, a commoner was killed in the county but his body could not be found. The officials arrested his neighbor and forced him to admit that he was the murderer. The county magistrate believed it was true.

The other Song armies of Zhang Hao's department also suffered casualties and casualties to varying degrees.

The original intention of Zhao Huan to form a new leadership team was to hope that these people could help him save the situation and keep the country and society of the Zhao Song Dynasty.

As a result, before the Song Army's fortifications were ready, Wu Lin led all the horse troops of the Gan Army to attack, and immediately launched an attack on the Song Army.

After this battle, the Song Army of Zhang Hao's Department was similar to the Song Army of the Jieqian Department, and also lost the ability to fight head-on with the Qian Army.

Tang Ke went out to visit and search in person, and someone came to report at night, and the body was found in the morning, and the murderer was arrested.

The Song army was killed so that they turned their backs and retreated in all directions.

News of the defeat of the three main armies of the Zhao Song Dynasty, Jie Qian, Liu Kai, and Zhang Hao, spread to Bianliang City in Tokyo one after another, causing a huge shock to the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Nowadays, Chen Miaozhen is being praised more and more by people, and there are people who set up shrines for her all over the place.

Tang Ke opposed this kind of harm to the people. He said: "When the water rises and the dikes are damaged and the residents are submerged, there is nothing to do. If we decide to submerge them now, it will be fish and turtles for our people."

After Li Cun learned the news, he ordered that the West Road be controlled by Wu Lin as the capital, and the Hedong area should be fully recovered; the East Road should be controlled by Zhao Li, and the Hebei area should be fully recovered.

You can mention Liquan Guan Tan Shiji, and after hearing these remarks, he hurried into the palace and reminded Zhao Huan: "The comet looks awesome, and you should cultivate virtue to respond to the sky, and you should not be confused by flattery."

Most of those who had no time to escape knelt down to accept the surrender, and only a few resisted stubbornly and were killed on the spot.

Wu Lin sent someone to recruit him to surrender.

When the flood receded and Cangzhou City was preserved, Zhao Ji issued an edict to reward Tang Ke.

Yang Zaixing seemed to kill a god, picking eighteen Song army camps in one go.

But two days later, Zhao Huan adopted the suggestion of the main combat faction and formed four general managers:

Yang Zaixing climbed the hillside himself, observed the camp of the Song army with a telescope, and said to the left and right: "Although the Song army is numerous, it is noisy and chaotic. Let me break it down."

……

Just before Liu Cen, Zong Ze, and Li Ruoshui set off, Tang Ke said to Zhao Huan: "This time the peace negotiation is with Emperor Daqian, and Liu Cen's position is insufficient."

Zhao Huan then changed his mind and promoted Wang Yun to be Minister of the Ministry of Rites and Li Ruoshui to Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and asked them to meet with Li Cun to discuss peace, and Zong Ze was able to avoid seeing Li Cun...
