Qian Song

...

To be honest, judging from the current comparison of troops in the Central Plains, it is true that the Song Army has an absolute advantage.

Even if all the false reports of the Song Army are squeezed out, the current total strength of the Song Army in the Central Plains is as high as 10,000+, and this is not counting the rebels and bandits who flirt with the Zhao Song Dynasty.

The Dagan Dynasty, which has too many areas to defend, currently has a total force of less than 30 troops in the Central Plains.

Among them, there are [-] in Daming Mansion, and even as many as [-] in Luoyang.

The key point is that these two groups of troops can't move around, otherwise the Song army trapped in the Central Plains by Li Cun might flee to Hebei, Hedong, Shaanxi, or even the indestructible Taihang Mountains.

In addition, before Li Cun distributed 5 horses to Zhao Li, and asked Zhao Li to pacify Jingdong East Road. Yan Xiaoguang also led [-] Dongfu Army and Zhongfu Army to pacify Jingdong East Road.

This is actually the main reason why Li Cun has never fought a war with the Song army everywhere.

Without it.

The troops are stretched.

——For a while, Li Cun had less than [-] soldiers and horses.

And, don't forget, before that, in addition to dealing with Zhao Gou's hundreds of thousands of Song troops, Li Cun also had to suppress the extremely poorly disciplined Song troops that originally belonged to Bianliang City in Tokyo.

The key point is that at that time, Li Cun's foothold in Tokyo's Bianliang City was not stable.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Li Cun was walking on the tip of a knife at that time.

To be honest, if Zhao Gou had the courage to lead an army to rescue King Qin at that time, it was really possible to beat Li Cun out of Bianliang City, Tokyo.

But Zhao Gou's cowardice was by no means inferior to that of his father and his elder brother. Although he had already organized the Generalissimo's Mansion at that time, he did not dare to come to rescue Bianliang City in Tokyo.

Of course, it was also because of Li Cun's well-organized suspicious array that Zhao Gou and the others were so frightened that they did not dare to come to King Qin's rescue in the Gyeonggi area, and Zong Ze, the only one who dared to come, was alone.

Today, Li Cun has assigned all the Song troops in Bianliang City, Tokyo, to Liuqiu and Indochina Peninsula several times. Has an army of 10,000+.

Therefore, Li Cun was very happy when he learned that Zhao Gou was going to fight him. He personally dispatched troops and generals to prepare for a battle to settle the Central Plains.

but--

Facts have proved that Li Cun thought too much.

Although Zhao Gou saw that his own troops were several times more than Li Cun's, he never thought of fighting Li Cun to regain Bianliang City in Tokyo.

But Zhao Gou is Zhao Gou, after listening to Geng Nanzhong and Wang Boyan analyze the current situation, that is to say, the generals in command of the Zhao Song Dynasty said it well and were willing to obey Zhao Gou’s command of the Generalissimo’s Mansion. But in fact, many of them are still obedient.

Geng Nanzhong and Wang Boyan also said to Zhao Gou: Not to mention Fan Na, Zhao Ye, and Wang Xiang who have been resisting and disobeying the order, even Yang Weizhong, who controls the Generalissimo's Mansion, is actually unwilling to fight.

This can't help but remind Zhao Gou of one thing.

Things are like this.

Li Cun's strategic goal is to defeat the hope of the Zhao Song Dynasty first, that is, the 10,000+ Western Army led by Fan Zhixu.

Based on this strategic goal, Li Cun must first contain the other Song armies so that they have no time to interfere with the battle between Wu Lin and Fan Zhixu.

Therefore, Li Cun dispatched troops to attack the various Song armies, so that they would not dare to act rashly.

Dong Xian, who was assigned to harass Jeju, immediately led 3000 troops to march to Jeju after receiving the order.

It was not until Dong Xianbu arrived in Berlin Town (that is, only a hundred miles away from Jeju) that Zhao Gou learned of the call from the Qianjun.

Zhao Gou hurriedly dispatched Yang Weizhong to personally lead the troops to Berlin Town to fight.

Who would have thought that Yang Weizhong was very unhappy about this, he said displeasedly: "The major generals will not come out, the old man is the first one?"

Zhao Gou was very angry at the time, thinking that Yang Weizhong was openly provoking his prestige as the commander-in-chief of the world and the future emperor of the Song Dynasty, so he said lightly: "This gangster is riding around and serving our army's false ears."

Then, Zhao Gou ordered Yang Weizhong to urgently assemble the five armies of the Generalissimo's Mansion of the World's Soldiers and Horses to be on guard at night, and set them up on the embankment outside the city in a battle formation, ready to fight at any time.

At the same time, Zhao Gou separately ordered Zhang Jun, the commander of the Chinese army, to lead his men and horses as suspects, preparing to lure the enemy deep and destroy Dong Xian's men.

But Dong Xian didn't come here for a fight at all, so seeing that the Song army had used tens of thousands of troops to guard against death, Dong Xian withdrew from the stronghold at night.

Although this incident was not big, it proved from the side that what Geng Nanzhong and Wang Boyan said was right.

Zhao Gou thought about it again. Although Fan Ne, Zhao Ye, and Wang Xiang kept saying that they would obey his command, they still stood still after he gave the order to gather.

Zhao Gou couldn't help but began to waver again.

Seeing this, Geng Nanzhong and Wang Boyan suggested that Zhao Gou withdraw to Shaanxi first, and then slowly plan it...

On the same day that Dong Xian harassed Jeju, Cao Cheng's younger brother Cao Liang also led 3000 troops to attack Xingren Mansion from Wanting.

After receiving the news, Huang Qianshan, who was guarding Xingren Mansion, sent commander Zhang Huan to lead troops out of the city to occupy favorable terrain and meet the enemy head-on.

At the same time, Huang Qianshan sent Ding Shun and Meng Shining to lead the troops into left and right wings, and set up an ambush outside the city.

After the battle started, the Song army fired violently.

Cao Liang couldn't dodge in time, was shot by an arrow, and then fell off his horse.

Seeing this, producer Li Xi quickly took over the command, sent someone to help Cao Liang, who was seriously injured, onto his horse, and then pretended to retreat according to the strategy formulated by Li Cun.

Although Cao Liang almost defeated the main general during his journey, at least there was no real battle, so the feint was successful.

And Yue Heng, who went to Puzhou to feign an attack, completely turned the feint into a real battle.

Yue Heng led 3000 troops to the city of Puzhou. The Jingdong transit judge Zhilong Tugelu Qiu Sheng had already prepared.

As a result, the two armies fought until five o'clock at night before Yue Heng was able to lead more than 2000 horses back to the Gyeonggi area.

And Yao Zhengbu also encountered the same situation.

Yao Zheng led 3000 troops to attack Kaide Mansion from Weinan, and then lined up outside the moat embankment, intending to hold back the Song army.

What Yao Zheng didn't expect was that Zongze, who was guarding Kaide Mansion, commanded Kong Yanwei to lead troops to set up a camp by the moat, and the two armies shot across the river. Together with Kong Yanwei's troops, they fought together.

Because Yao Zheng didn't expect that there would be many cavalry troops in Zongze's department, he suffered a big defeat.

To be honest, that is to say, Yao Zhengbu is all cavalry, otherwise, Yao Zhengbu would be eaten by Zongzebu if he was not sure.

It is not difficult to see from this that Zongze still has something.

All in all, from a tactical point of view, the battle between the Qian and Song armies actually had their winners and losers, but from a strategic point of view, the Song army was completely defeated in this battle.

Because at the same time that Zhao Gou and other Song troops were dragged in place by Li Cun, the 10,000+ Western Army led by Fan Zhixu, the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi, was defeated by 3000 troops led by Niu Gao in Qianqiu Town.

After Fan Zhixu led 10,000+ western troops out of Wuguan, they were active in the Mianchi area, and then stationed in Qianqiu Town, pointing their sword at Luoyang, the western capital.

Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin were in a hurry and asked Li Cun for help.

After Li Cun learned of this, he sent Wu Lin to lead 5 horses to support Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin's troops.

Before setting off, Li Cun asserted that Fan Zhixu was a scholar who didn't understand soldiers at all. He also said that if he caught him by surprise, 3000 troops would be able to defeat his 10,000+ army.

Things did not go as Li Cun expected.

According to the marching speed of the Song army, Fan Zhixu judged that it would take some time for the reinforcements of Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin to reach Luoyang, so he led the army to slowly advance to Luoyang, hoping to regain Luoyang, the western capital, by pressing down on Mount Tai.

Unexpectedly, Niu Gao remembered Li Cun's words and led [-] pioneers from Yiyang to Qianqiu Town.

The 10,000+ Western Army was unprepared to fight at the time, and was caught off guard by Niu Gao and the others.

As a result, these 10,000+ Western troops abandoned their luggage and ran around, trampling on each other countless times, and half of them were killed or injured. The soldiers and horses of Shaanxi Zhuluqin King, who are known as 20 troops, were so vulnerable and collapsed.

Only the soldiers and horses led by Fu Yanshuai Zhang Shen and Liu Guangshi were not defeated. They turned to Changquan Town, followed the Yellow River, and rushed to Jeju.

Wu Lin didn't expect Niu Gao to achieve such a result, so he hurriedly changed the safe tactics he had formulated before, and joined forces with Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin to advance westward quickly.

Although, along the way, Wu Lin, Zhai Xing, and Zhai Jin successively recovered Hangu Pass, Mengjin Pass, and Wu Pass, and the army advanced all the way to Tongguan, but because Wu Lin and the others were slow to respond, Fan Zhixu still packed up. When tens of thousands of remnants were defeated, they retreated to Tongguan to hold on.

On the day Fan Zhixu retreated to Tongguan, Zong Ze was greatly encouraged by beating Yao Zhengbu away. His opponents and Song generals said: "Being a thief is not terrible. As long as we dare to fight, we will be able to fight." Victory, therefore, we will take advantage of the victory and pursue the attack, go straight to the capital, and regain the capital!"

——The reason why Zong Ze started to rush forward again is mainly because Zong Ze heard that Zhao Gou, who had finally made up his mind to fight the Gan army, changed his mind again and planned to follow the advice of Geng Nanzhong, Wang Boyan and others first. Withdrew from Shaanxi, and then slowly negotiated with the Gan army. Zong Ze didn't want the good situation of the Zhao Song Dynasty to disappear, so he prepared to show Zhao Gou the facts. military.

The next day, Zong Ze led his troops out of the city, aiming directly at Bianliang City in Tokyo.

In order to achieve this victory, Zongze also prepared a secret weapon this time - 150 chariots.

Speaking of Zongze's 150 chariots, Liu Hao has to be mentioned.

At the beginning, when Liu Hao was in Xiangzhou, he heard that the Dagan Dynasty had a kind of chariot that could restrain cavalry to a certain extent.

So Liu Hao wanted to repay him with his own way.

Coincidentally, at this time, someone offered Liu Hao a method of making a chariot, saying that this kind of chariot is more powerful than the chariots of the Qian army, and as long as such a chariot is built, it will definitely defeat the Qian army.

As if he had found a treasure, Liu Hao immediately tried to build five chariots.

But after the five chariots were built, Liu Hao learned through experiments that this chariot was very clumsy, not only difficult to turn around, but also not easy to run.

But this chariot, which cost a lot of money to build, can't be wasted, right?
After Liu Hao thought hard, he thought of Zong Ze.

In Liu Hao's impression, Zong Ze "does well and listens lightly".

So, Liu Hao brought the car-building method and car formation map to Cizhou.

Liu Hao said to Zong Ze: "There are 150 cars, each with 25 people guarding the car, 25 people as the left corner, 25 people as the right corner, and 25 people as the front refusal. There are four teams in total. Every car uses 100 people, and the car is 150 There are 5000 people in the car, and I am willing to be the vanguard with Zhige to regain Zhending."

Zong Ze also felt as if he had found a treasure, and asked Liu Hao what he would like to use in exchange?
Liu Hao said: "What is missing is the jacket ear. I heard that there are many Cizhou, please feel free to respond."

In the end, Zong Ze agreed without hesitation.

in fact--

Zong Ze also had doubts about the chariot that Liu Hao gave him.

But the chariots of the Dagan Dynasty were indeed very powerful, and they had defeated the Liao Army and the Jin Army.

The key point is that Zong Ze played to Zhao Huan based on Liu Hao's method of making chariots and the map of chariot formations, saying that he had built 150 chariots and recruited 5000 militiamen to form a formation and prepare to recover Zhending .

When Zhao Huan heard this, he was very happy, so he ordered Zongze to be promoted to the editor of the secret pavilion and the chief of the Hebei militia.

In fact, Zongze at that time did not have a chariot, a man or a horse.

Later, when the main members gathered in the Generalissimo's Mansion to discuss the direction of the march, the two deputy marshals, Wang Boyan and Zongze, had disagreements:
Wang Boyan believed that hundreds of thousands of cadres surrounded Bianliang City in Tokyo, and they only had some miscellaneous troops put together improvised. How could they consider solving the siege of Bianliang City in Tokyo?
But Zong Ze argued that the siege of Kaifeng must be rescued.

On the surface, Zhao Gou had to agree with Zongze's proposition, but in fact he did not dare to take on the responsibility of rescuing Bianliang City in Tokyo himself. In other words, he was more inclined to Wang Boyan's proposition.

In order not to waste words, and to clean up the purity of the team, Zhao Gou adopted Geng Nanzhong's suggestion, and Zongze led those assassins who wanted to go to King Qin to rescue them to Kaide Mansion. People who are "unconscionable" were kicked out of his Marshal's Mansion.

After Zongze arrived in Kaide Mansion, he built 150 chariots in order to stop others from saying that he was using cannons.

Zong Ze felt that it was time for his chariot to show its might.

So Zongze took his chariot to battle.

Of course, Zongze was not so arrogant, thinking that with more than 2 troops, he could recover Tokyo Bianliang City, which was guarded by 20 soldiers.

Zongze sent people to Shenzhou at the same time as he was going to fight, and he wanted to invite Yao Peng, the defender who had a large number of troops, to march with him.

I don't want to, Zhao Gou has already ordered that no one should attack the Gan army without authorization, and they must obey his command and advance carefully.

Yao Peng therefore did not send troops.

There is no way, in order to awaken Zhao Gou's conscience, let Zhao Gou remember that his mother, concubines, and daughters are still in Bianliang City, Tokyo, let Zhao Gou remember his responsibilities, and make Zhao Gou no longer cowardly, Let Zhao Gou lead all the Song troops to fight back, and let Zhao Gou not flee to Shaanxi. Zong Ze said to the left and right: "There are only a few generals, and there is no way to win if you don't go deep into the important areas." Then he ordered to continue to advance.

After the Zongze tribe arrived in Nanhua County, they finally met Gan Jun.

Regardless of his already old body, Zong Ze personally took aim at the front line of the battle.

Zong Ze has always been able to share joys and sorrows with the soldiers in the army, so all the soldiers under him are happy to use it.

Now, Zongze is taking the lead again, and his Song army generals are fighting to defeat the Qian army.

however--

War is cold, and it will not be reversed because of the will of one person or a division.

In fact, the battle between the Qian and Song Dynasties was a series of tricks carefully designed by Li Cun. Whoever catches up will fall into the trap.

Li Cun has long set up an ambush on the only way for the Song army who may come to fight in the Gyeonggi area, and Zongze has always been the object of Li Cun's key defense...

in short.

After Zong Ze led the chariot to the ambush circle set up by Zhao Li, the convoy was ambushed by the Qianjun Ma Jun at both ends.

Due to the sudden outbreak of fighting and the urgent situation, the Song Army of Zongze Department suffered extremely serious losses all at once.

After being defeated by the Gan army, Zong Ze, Quan Bangyan and others had no choice but to put on white shirts and straw sandals as soldiers, and followed the defeated soldiers to the north overnight to Yao Peng's army.

Pioneer Wang Xiaozhong was hit by an arrow, fell off his horse and died.

Zhibo Prefecture Sun Zhen led the army on the way. Hearing Zongze's defeat, the soldiers were afraid of fighting with the Gan army and missed their homeland, so they killed Sun Zhen, divided up the military supplies, and then scattered and returned north.

Because Zongze's chariot was bulky and difficult to operate, it was very difficult for the Song army to push and drive. Once encountered such a hasty situation, the Song army had to abandon it and escape alone.

This just provided convenience for the generals of the Qian army, who used these chariots to load all kinds of trophies, and returned triumphantly.

Zhao Gou, who was still in Jeju, heard that Zongze was defeated, and said to the left and right with a smile: "I see that Ze's chariot is not suitable for use, and it is a waste of work. Ze does not listen, and now it is the enemy."

However, Zhao Gou couldn't laugh anymore, because the news came back that Fan Zhixu, whom he had placed high hopes on before, had also been defeated by Qian Jun.

Fan Zhixu's defeat was not only the loss of the most capable 20 Western troops of the Zhao Song Dynasty, but also the Fan Na, Zhao Ye, Wang Xiang and other Song troops who had been suppressed by Fan Zhixu before. Listen to Zhao Gou's dispatch.

Geng Nanzhong and Wang Boyan hurriedly brought up the old matter again, and suggested that Zhao Gou go to Huaiyang by way of Hebei.

A day later, the generals of the Jeju garrison had begun to study how to break through the blockade of the Gan army and go to Shaanxi after arriving in Huaiyang.

Two days later, the vanguard army and supplies had begun to move to Puzhou.

It can be seen from this that Zhao Gou has made up his mind to flee to Shaanxi. Even though many soldiers of the Song Army have different views on going to Shaanxi, they asked: "Why not go back to the capital and take a detour?"

Although he was seriously questioned by the soldiers, Zhao Gou saw that the 20 western troops he had placed high hopes on were all defeated by the [-] dry army. Zhao Gou finally fully awakened and became Zhao Paopao.

At this time, no one is as important as my parents, wives and concubines, daughters, who I love, and I, Zhao Paopao, will run for my life desperately...
