Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 748 Li Qingzhao's Doubt
The three of them joined forces in Mingshui Town to carry out a sudden counterattack. The horse army was concentrated for Yue Fei to use, Wang De led the heavy infantry to attack frontally, and Guan Sheng was responsible for providing support.

Cooperate with appropriate benefits and give full play to the advantages of the three. Yue Fei is fickle in commanding battles and pays attention to the impermanence of soldiers.

As soon as Han Chang led an army of [-] horsemen to arrive, he was suddenly attacked by Wang De. The Jin army was unstable, so he had to join the horse army and attempted to plunder on both sides. However, Yue Fei commanded the horse army to fight head-on.

Zhang Xian, Yue Yun, and Yang Zaixing each led a hundred cavalry to break through the formation, disrupting the Jin army's position, almost becoming famous in one fell swoop.

The tactics of dealing with kidnapped horses also began to be popularized. The Song army used the horse army to attack the Jin army's horse army head-on.

Fighting against the heavy cavalry known as the Iron Buddha, it was very handy. With the combination of the tripping rope and the big axe, first dismounting the man, and then smashing the head with the axe, it was quite cruel, but very simple and practical.

Han Chang's tens of thousands of people dealt with the essence of the three armies, and met three famous generals. It was extremely aggrieved, which can be described as throwing away the armor.

In the past, the Jin army was able to recover quickly after being defeated, because the Song army had very few horse troops, and it was difficult to annihilate the Jin army, so it could only be defeated.

This time, it seems to be different. The horse troops from the three armies going north were all concentrated in Yue Fei's hands. The main battle was fought by Wang De and Guan Sheng. Obtained the record of beheading four thousand.

However, a local counterattack did not hinder the overall situation. The Jin army was still in full swing and occupied most of Hebei in less than a month. When Zhang Tonggu arrived in Nanjing, he almost achieved the main strategic goal.

The Song army in Hebei carried out a strategic retreat as planned. Except for Yue Fei, Wang De, and Guan Sheng, who were outstanding, everyone else followed the plan.

Zhang Qiyuan was very depressed. The counterattack in Hedong did not start smoothly. He did not expect Wushu to secretly deploy more than ten thousand elite Jurchen cavalry troops in Hedong. Thousands of horses attacked.

The Song army came all the way in high spirits, who would dare to touch an army of tens of thousands of people?Unexpectedly, the Jin army deployed the horse army in the narrow strip, and did not even set up the army formation, and even some officials were charged and killed before they had time to put on their armor.

The Song army, which had two entire armies, was defeated. Fortunately, Mengzhou and Zhengzhou issued township troops to deploy in time, and took advantage of the mountainous terrain to strangle the Jin army's attack, so that the entire army was not wiped out.

The tragedy is that Wu Ge and Ma Zhong died on the battlefield, while the Song army still lost more than [-] people, and the entire two armies were disabled, and the offensive momentum of the Northern Guards was completely contained.It is said that Wang Yuan was stunned on the spot when he heard the news, and it took a while for him to come back to his senses.

Both armies are commander-level generals, and both are defense envoys from the front of the palace. The most important thing is that Wu Ge is Wu Min's second son, a descendant of a famous family!As a general of the metropolitan school level, he died in battle, no matter what, he couldn't justify it.

Ma Zhong is also a veteran general. Losing two people in his inheritance is not a bad start. Wait for Yu Shi's impeachment!

Fortunately, the western servants were more competitive, withstood several crazy counterattacks by the Jin army, and launched partial attacks, forcing the Jin army to abandon Jiangzhou and gather in Linfen County, Jinzhou.

Zhang Qiyuan was extremely depressed. He was the first to propose the Hedong counterattack, but he lost two generals due to his failure. Since the implementation of the new military system, it has set a precedent for the court.In addition, many people do not understand Hebei's strategic contraction, and he has received the most criticism. Who made him high-profilely ordered to control the war in the north.

Before this war, Wang Xiu was extremely low-key, and received the least censure among the two governments. Li Tangge and Gang, as prime ministers and members of the Privy Council, were under great pressure. They were by no means under Zhang Qiyuan. It is claimed that this is someone's public revenge.

Back then, Li Gang and Wu Min had conflicts, and Wu Ge, as an imperial weapon, didn't like Li Gang too much, so there seemed to be reasons for this to be believed.

However, Wang Xiu stood up and said something, publicly declaring that he is the leading figure in terms of acceptance and military planning. Tang Ge, Li Gang and Zhang Qiyuan should not be blamed, and Tang Ge and Li Gang were grateful. In this critical situation, Wang Xiu can Take the initiative to share, no matter what the intention is, it is enough for others to accept a love.

There is another point in his favor. With the development of the war, the focus of people's attention is no longer on him and Zhu Lian, but on the battle between the north and the south.

With the arrival of Zhang Tonggu, the people in the government and the public became more enthusiastic, and the voice of the main battle was once again louder. Some Tai students and state students jointly signed letters, supported by the censor and scholars in the field.

The two governments were under a lot of pressure, and they were almost all the advocates and advocates of the main battle. As Zhang Qiyuan said, the higher you stand, the farther you can see, but the fall is also heavy.

Wang Xiu agrees with Zhang Qiyuan's views, but is also very worried. The students of Zhongshan Academy and Yuquanshan Academy are obviously divided. Some radical students began to question him, and then doubted his theory, and some lectures also sent him letters. Or visit, asking the court to persist in resistance and never compromise with the Jurchens.

It is also the scholar's consistent view of the imperial court. If they lose the battlefield, they will inevitably bow their knees and ask for peace.

As the honorary headmaster of Zhongshan Academy, Wang Xiu had no choice but to come to the academy to appease the students, and Zhang Qiyuan also had to come here. He is on the cusp of the limelight!
In front of Wang Xiu and Zhang Qiyuan, Li Qingzhao asked Wang Xiu bluntly, why did he welcome Zhang Tonggu with a high standard?Ye Mengde was one of the rare lecturers who agreed with Wang Xiu's point of view, and she was only asked many times by her, which was quite embarrassing.

On this day, facing Li Qingzhao's questioning, Zhang Qiyuan looked embarrassed, and Wang Xiu also smiled wryly. Ye Mengde simply kept silent, comforting himself that good men don't fight with women, and only Hong Zhen is good at consoling.

"The imperial court regained Hebei. It should have been safely placed in the garrison. It took a few months to go north one after another. It has not taken any precautions. The captives should have resisted desperately when they went south, but the imperial court let the imperial army retreat. Hebei Shengmin once again fell into captives. Although he is a Puliu, he also knows the righteousness of the family and the country, and really does not understand what the princes of the two governments are planning."

Li Qingzhao looked at Wang Xiu, his eyes were as calm as water, and he seemed to be calm and said: "Xueshi Zhang's proposal is true. Wang Xianggong thinks that he is protecting the Grand Duke, but he can't escape the blame. Don't think that the people in the world can't see it. Wang Xianggong thinks it is." Reluctantly, it is actually a remote control of the battle, Hebei retreated, and Hedong suffered a disastrous defeat, and Wang Xianggong is the chief culprit."

Wang Xiu's complexion changed, the ugly one couldn't be any more ugly.
