Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 314 The Defense of Tokyo 2
Zhao Huan was grateful for Li Bangyan's kindness in protecting him. He took Li Bangyan as the grand master, Zhang Bangchang as the young minister, and Wu Min as the envoy of the Privy Council.Yu Wenxuzhong also benefited. With his reputation, he was appointed as the emissary of Hebei and Hedong Road, and went to Shaanxi Road to announce Yao Gu and Zhong Shidao to rescue Tokyo.

He also did something eye-catching but not harmful to the overall situation. He issued an edict to release 6000 court ladies, and to go to more than a hundred internal and external government bureaus. He streamlined the palace and Taoist palace officials. compliments.

However, Liang Fangping was very aggrieved and led an army of [-] horses to the north, recruiting rout troops along the way, dawdling for seven or eight days, and then crossing the river and stationed in Liyang, the city of Junzhou.

The next day, He Guan also led an army of [-] to reach the river. His force was too small, so he could only recruit strong men along the way to make up for it. The two formed an army of [-].

However, Liang Fangping is very dissatisfied. You guys and senior officials are all in the capital. You eat delicious food, drink hot food, and behave around the emperor every day. However, I was sent to the front line, led by a group of veteran soldiers in the capital. How can this battle be fought? what!

Well, you play your game, we play too, he doesn't defend at all, gathers all the generals to eat, drink and have fun all day long, watching beauties dance, even though he is an eunuch, he still has the level of appreciation, don't move and look at the head office!
The result is that the [-] army is idle, and you can form a complete defense system with a little arrangement. With the classic defensive formation of the Song Army, the Jin Army's cavalry can suffer a big loss, at least it can hold the important point of Junzhou.

Unfortunately, they did nothing.

In a few days of chaos, Tai student Chen Dong and Fu Que wrote a letter, begging the court to kill Cai Jing, Wang Fu, Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng, Li Yan, Zhu Yu and others. The army building was here, Zhao Huan didn't see Cai Tao, but met Li Gang in Yanhe Hall.The two murmured for a while, and Li Gang also offered advice, and the next day he entered the Ministry of War as a minister, and ordered Jingdong, Huaixi, and Liangzhe soldiers to enter the guard.

On the 29th, the Taishanghuang was respected as the Taoist Emperor Taishang Emperor, and the Taishang Queen was respected as the Daojun Taishang Queen, and the next year's Yuan was changed to Jingkang.Take the two sentences of "Rijing Sifang, Yongkang Zhaomin" and change the year name to "Jingkang".It is used to calm difficulties and chaos, and to wish for peace in the world.

In Geng Nanzhong's words, Japan is peaceful in all directions, and Yongkang Zhaomin means "peace with Rong", making peace with the Jin people, and blatantly making peace as the top priority.Of course, few people objected. The Jurchens were coming in menacingly, so there was still a market for peace talks.

This new year has no flavor at all. After Zhao Huan went to Longde Palace to meet Zhao Ji and came back, he was already planning to flee west!Zhao Ji also proposed to go to Bozhou Taiqing Palace to burn incense and fulfill his vows on the fourth day of the lunar new year, in order to thank the Taoist Lord Taiqing for his protection and cure the hemiplegia caused by overwork.Well, the two of you have one mind, one is going west and the other is going south, both thinking about running away.

On the same day, the whole territory of Xiangzhou fell. Forward Guo Yaoshi and others entered Junzhou. They discovered that Junzhou was guarded by heavy soldiers of the Song army.

The No.70 cavalry team of eight generals led by Qiu Fu attacked the Jin army and wiped out hundreds of people, but had to retreat due to too few troops. Seeing that they could not sustain it, he led the army without hesitation after reading Wang Xiu's letter Go south, forcefully cross the pontoon bridge, and meet up with the infantry at Shadian.

Wu Libu looked down on Song Jun very much, and ordered hundreds of people to harass him, first to find out the truth and then fight.He looked down on the Imperial Guards of the Song Dynasty, but if these stupid pigs were to hide in the city, his group of cavalry would not be able to play well. It was really impossible to leave a small number of soldiers and horses, and the main force went around.

What I didn't expect was that our senior official Liang, who holds the title of Jiedu Envoy, had heard Tong Guan talk about the power of the Golden Army cavalry. The aura of the thousand-haired thief did not belong to him at all, his whole face was pale, and he was a coward trembling with trembling hair.

Of course, he didn't expect Jin Jun to come so fast, it was so fast that he couldn't bear it mentally, and his self-confidence collapsed all of a sudden.

On the same day, he took a few guards and opened the south gate to escape. The other generals were dumbfounded, and the coach left them to escape by himself. How can this be fun!

This group of generals in front of the palace who were used to having fun, suddenly lost their minds, and ran faster than rabbits one by one, even the high officials Liang ran away, how could I be so stupid as to wait for death?Everyone hurry home!

Even if it was [-] pigs, it would take a few days for the Jin army to kill them. In less than a day, the entire important town of Liyang was occupied by the defeated cavalry. It was a joke.

The tragedy is not over yet. He Guan, who was guarding the pontoon bridges at the junction of Junzhou, Huazhou, Weizhou and Gyeonggi, was completely dumbfounded. Liang Fangping was also considered a very capable eunuch. He led an army of [-], but he was beaten So miserable.

Liang Fangping didn't even say a word when he crossed the bridge, he immediately rode his horse and galloped. He didn't know the situation, and soon there were routs crossing the river one after another.

The main force was led by Liang Fangping, and his troops were less than [-] people. He got some information from the mouths of the routs, and all of them were sharp and overwhelming.

He Guan originally wanted to lead his army across the river to stabilize the rout, but seeing that the rangers had come over and his own troops were showing signs of floating, he knew that the situation was over.

Liang Fangping's main force was defeated, and the Jin army had already reached the north bank, so he couldn't launch a powerful counterattack. Even if he wanted to, it was impossible.

He had no choice but to order the burning of the pontoon bridge to cut off the way for the Jin army to advance. The pontoon bridge of hundreds of feet was set on fire from the south bank.This is a mighty river! Don't look at the calm waters, but the undercurrent is turbulent below, and those who fall into the water will surely die without any support.

It was even worse for those who hadn't crossed the river, their escape route was cut off, everyone was crying, and they either scattered and ran for their lives to find a boat, or they could only throw themselves into the Golden Army Ranger.

He Guan gathered the remnant soldiers and retreated into Fanshui Pass. The establishment of various ministries was completely disrupted, and the officials were panic-stricken and had no intention of fighting.Dahe stretched from Heyang in the west to Daming in the east, yet there was not a single imperial guard guarding it, and the entire defense line was useless.

At this time, the main force of the Jin army arrived in Junzhou, and Wuli could not face the big river rushing eastward, so he issued an order to cross the river and march into Kaifeng.The pontoon bridge was burned, and no boats could be found, so they had to cut wood to make small boats, and slowly transport people and horses across the river, with only dozens of people at a time.

They avoided the tragic fate of being attacked by Bandu without the Song army guards, so that Wuli could not laugh at the Southern Dynasty.

Wang Xiu and Zhang Qiyuan hurried to see Zhao Huan, who brought emergency Guantang.
