The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 637
Zhao Gou sits in Bianjing City, but makes decisions for thousands of miles. This is a truly talented man.Then, Zhao Gou ordered Yue Fei and Zhang Jun to capture Zhongjing and march eastward to capture Liaoyang Mansion.When the imperial decree arrived at Zhao Yougong's place, the Dading Mansion in Zhongjing had already been captured, and the Song army lost 3 people.

Jin soldiers lost more than [-] people, Zhongjing Dading Mansion was heavily guarded, Han Shizhong, Yue Fei and others sat together under Zhao Yougong's call to discuss how to proceed with the next attack.What Zhao Gou gave was only the core, and the specific details were discussed by themselves.

Everyone discussed and decided that Zhang Jun would lead [-] soldiers and horses to attack first, Liu Guangshi would lead [-] soldiers and horses to respond, and Han Shizhong and Yue Fei would each lead [-] soldiers and horses to ambush around Dading Mansion, and solve all the state and county soldiers and horses in Zhongjing. and cut off their food.

The Zhongjing Dading Mansion lost support, like a turtle in a urn, and the Song army was pressing down on the border. This made the Zhongjing defender very worried. Not much better.

It took the Song Army a month to attack Zhongjing Road. After Zhao Gou’s imperial decree arrived, they were resting and did not rush to attack continuously. Not only were the soldiers exhausted, but even the generals couldn’t take it anymore. The battle was won smoothly from the beginning. Going down to the city later became a tug of war.

Han Shizhong and Liu Guangshi led an army of [-] to continue northward, following Zhao Gou's command. Then Yue Fei and Zhang Jun led an army to attack Liaoyang Mansion. Zhang Jun and Yue Fei each led [-] troops to attack Shenzhou and Jinzhou.

However, Zhang Jun's attack on Shenzhou was defeated in this battle, and he lost 1 troops, leaving only [-] to retreat, and he was also seriously injured.As for Yue Fei still taking Jinzhou with such force, I heard that Zhang Jun's army was trapped by the golden soldiers and it was difficult to escape.

Yue Fei led the army non-stop to rescue. If Yue Fei hadn't arrived in time, Zhang Jun's army would have been completely wiped out.When Yue Fei and Zhang Jun returned to the camp, Zhao Yougong said in a deep voice, "What's going on? Why did they return in a big defeat and lose [-] troops!"

"Report to Marshal, this matter has nothing to do with Marshal Zhang, everything is the crime of the last general!"

Zhao Yougong turned around and saw the man standing beside Zhang Jun, he asked in surprise, "Are you Li Shifu?"

"The commander-in-chief still remembers the last general?" Li Shifu said in surprise.

"Of course I remember!" When Zhao Yougong saw Li Shifu for the first time, he remembered the person who fought Gao Chong at that time. Later, he was appointed by Zhao Gou to go to the front line. After that, there was no news. He did not expect him to be in Zhang Jun. As a pioneer under the account, "What the hell is going on?"

Li Shifu told the story again, and it turned out that Zhang Jun was really not to blame for this incident, it was caused by his general Shao Hongyuan.This person is competitive and narrow-minded, he followed Zhang Jun for a long time, and then Li Shifu came, Zhang Jun saw that he had some abilities and his status was constantly improving, but Shao Hongyuan was very jealous.

This time, it was originally carried out according to the negotiation, but Shao Hongyuan's greed and aggressiveness exposed Zhang Jun's identity and almost wiped out the entire army. This made Zhao Yougong very angry. After questioning, he found out that Shao Hongyuan had died in battle. Out of the siege, this also disturbed the generals of the Liaoyang Prefecture in Tokyo. They had already mobilized the army and made preparations, waiting for the Song army to come.

"Incompetent bungler!"

Zhao Yougong cursed loudly. It would not be an easy task to break through the Liaoyang Mansion when the Jin soldiers were gathering their forces. How to keep Zhao Yougong from getting angry? If Shao Hongyuan didn't die, Zhao Yougong's Temper must kill him with his own hands to strengthen military discipline.

Zhang Jun was wounded and [-] soldiers died in battle. The Jin soldiers in Liaoyang Mansion were on guard, making it difficult to attack the city.

When the news reached Zhao Gou, Lei Ting was furious. He didn't expect the problem to be in his camp.According to the deployment, even if it takes three months to capture Liaoyang Mansion, it will take at least half a year in this way, and it will be much more difficult if this consumption continues.

The next day, Zhao Gou said with a blank face in the morning: "I have decided to march in person!"

"Your Majesty, this matter must not be allowed!" Pan Lianggui was the first to stand up to object, saying: "The Holy Majesty is the king of a country, if the imperial conquest is made by the emperor, how will the Song Dynasty deal with it? Let go of the blame."

"Your Majesty, Master Pan's words are very true!" Li Guang also opposed Zhao Gou's personal conquest, saying: "The future of the Song Dynasty is attached to the emperor, and it is a taboo to leave the capital and go to the front regardless of the future of the Song Dynasty! There are too many things that need to be decided by the emperor, if the emperor is not in the capital, how will it work?"

"Your Majesty, I beg you to think twice!" All the ministers of the court knelt down and begged, opposing Zhao Gou's personal conquest. It would be too risky for the emperor to conquer the city himself.

"How come I don't know your dearest wishes!" Zhao Gou sighed, "As the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, the honor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, I am enjoying the life behind the soldiers, how can I be at ease? Besides, the second Emperor Huiqin is still in the hands of the Jinren, and the news of the battle is too slow, and the only way to better command the army is to go to the battlefield in person."

"The shame given to the Song by the Jin people, I will take it back with my own hands; the life and death of the second emperor is unknown, and I will welcome them back to Beijing in person. If I can't greet them in person, even if I see the second emperor in the future, I will have no face to face it. Do you understand what I mean?"

"The Song Dynasty is becoming more and more prosperous, and the country is prosperous and stable. The people don't say that they have enough food and clothing, at least they don't have to live a life of homelessness. I can see the actions of the officials of the Song Dynasty. If I am not in the capital, the affairs of the court will be handled by Mr. Pan, Lord Li, Lord Zhao, and others jointly decided that I will temporarily entrust the management of the Great Song Dynasty to you, and I trust that you will not disappoint my expectations."

"My loves should also cooperate with them better. As long as the government and the public work together, the long-term peace and stability of the Great Song Dynasty will not be far away! I know the hearts of your loves, and I understand the truth that the country is the most important thing, but the two emperors are in the hands of the Jinren. Humiliated, as a son of man, filial piety should be the first priority, I must go."

"Your Majesty!" the crowd pleaded again.

Zhao Gou said: "My lords, please rise up. I know your wishes! Now, under the leadership of the king of Chu, the army of the Great Song Dynasty is in full swing, taking down the city again and again, and the golden soldiers are fleeing. I am not only the king of a country, but also the general of the Great Song Dynasty. As the emperor, you must not be greedy for life or fear death, and you must not be indecisive, you must go to boost morale, this time the loss of soldiers and generals, morale is low, I do not want the Northern Expedition Jin Dynasty to be affected in any way."

After Zhao Gou's statement, everyone no longer objected. After the dynasty was dispersed, Zhao Gou summoned six more ministers and told them a few things. , the majority obeys the minority.

The news of the emperor's personal conquest was quickly conveyed to Zhao Yougong, and Zhao Yougong quickly told the news to all the marshals. Everyone was looking forward to Zhao Gou's arrival, and they were also a little worried.Now that the army is in turmoil, the Jin soldiers know that Zhao Gou is coming, and they will definitely become their targets, and their responsibility to protect the emperor is even greater.

Zhao Gou temporarily handed over state affairs to Pan Lianggui, Li Guang, Zhao Ding and others. He believed that these people would not engage in favoritism and fraud. He himself led Gao Chong and a thousand guards to the front line. All of them were dressed lightly and did not put on a posture, which would not only delay the time, but also hinder the military situation.
