The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 639 Soldiers Surround Gyeongju
Not long after Liaoyang Mansion was captured by the Song army, Zhao Gou, Gao Chong and a dozen guards arrived at Dading Mansion in Zhongjing. They did not go there, but waited in Dading Mansion.Because the Song army was going to break through the Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing, Zhao Gou didn't want to delay the army's itinerary, running back and forth.

The news of the emperor's arrival came quickly, Zhao Yougong, Yue Fei, Wu Lin, Wu Jie and others organized the army and went straight to Dading Mansion.Generals such as Zhang Jun and Li Shifu were injured, and Zhao Gou also went to visit them in person. The military doctor said that they would recover after a few days of recuperation.

"My minister is injured and unable to salute, please forgive me!" Zhang Jun was lying on the bed, struggling to get up, but with the help of Gao Chong, he managed to sit up.

"Marshal Zhang devoted himself to the country and resisted the Jin soldiers, and even suffered serious injuries. I would not blame him. This is a great achievement!" Zhao Gou praised Zhang Jun's behavior in resisting the Jin soldiers, and he didn't care whether he saluted or not. Looking at Li Shifu again, he smiled and said, "General Li did not disappoint me!"

"The fact that I can get what I want today depends entirely on the support of the emperor, which is nothing!" Since Li Shifu saw the emperor last time, eight years have passed. , and never saw Zhao Gou again.

Zhao Gou smiled and said: "I know that you have made a lot of contributions in resisting the Jin soldiers all these years. Today, I will confer on you the honorary envoy of the Mighty Army and give you the taboo title of 'distinguished loyalty'. I wonder if the general is satisfied? "

"I thank the emperor for the reward, my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

Li Xianzhong was very excited. Zhao Gou knew that he had made countless contributions over the years and had never had a chance to be rewarded. It just so happened that Zhao Gou came here in person this time, so he will award Li Xianzhong for his achievements for the court.Zhao Gou didn't stay here any longer, he told Zhang Jun to rest well, and left.

"My minister has seen the emperor!"

"My minister has seen the emperor!"

Everyone bowed in unison and said in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Okay, these etiquettes are still exempted in the barracks!" Zhao Gou walked forward with a smile, and saw that Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others were still there, and felt relieved. He hadn't seen each other for eight years. It is also to break through Shangjing, and there is not much time for chatting.

"Yan Qing and Military Advisor, where are they?" Zhao Gou glanced at him, and found that Yan Qing and Wu Yong were missing, which made him a little surprised.

Yue Fei said in a deep voice: "The military commander died in battle, and Brother Yanqing was also seriously injured, but there is no danger of his life!"

Zhao Gou nodded heavily. He knew that many people would die in the war. No one would know whether he would die on the battlefield or whether he would still see the sun tomorrow. The only way to do it was to keep moving forward.Zhao Gou ordered to go down and take good care of Yan Qing, while the others gathered together.

"How is the battle now?"

"Reporting to the emperor, Tokyo, Xijing, and Zhongjing are all in the hands of our army. Right now, only Shangjing Linhuang Mansion is in the hands of our army. The other states are just within easy reach of our army. The only worry is that Goryeo will send troops to reinforce and disturb our army's rear. .”

"Don't worry about it for the time being in Korea. If they don't know good and bad, and join forces with the Jin people, they will send a large army to attack. According to the current situation, the defeat of the Jin Dynasty is an inevitable trend, unless the head of Korea is not normal. Look at it. Unclear situation."

Zhao Gou said in a deep voice: "I will send people to have a detailed discussion with Gao Li, and test their attitude before we talk about it. Now our focus is to wipe out the Jin soldiers, go straight to Huanglong, and occupy the Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing. In addition, you should pay attention to searching for emblems. According to the news of the Second Emperor Qin, these pensioners have never sent envoys, and even I have not found out what is going on."

"If the Jin people take the two emperors of Huiqin as hostages, how should they make a decision?"

"Take one step at a time!" Zhao Gou said helplessly, but also firmly, "If they release Emperor Huiqin and return to the Song Dynasty safe and sound, they will naturally retreat. Complete annihilation, so that there will be no country like the Jin Dynasty in this world."

"Observe the order!" Everyone bowed and agreed.

"Your Majesty, if you personally lead the conquest, then I, the marshal, will step down and become the deputy marshal. Everything will be decided by the emperor. Besides, the position of marshal is really not easy to take. I think I should be exempted from it in the future!" Zhao Yougongshu With a sigh of relief, Zhao Gou came in person, then he could step down as the marshal, and he felt more relaxed than ever.

"Second brother, these days are hard work!" Zhao Gou nodded, and said: "Now half of the territory of the Jin Dynasty is in the hands of my Song Dynasty, and our army has taken the initiative. Marshal Han has obeyed the order and went to Qingzhou, but there are still people around Some states and counties have not yet been completely captured."

"According to my decree, the two generals Wu Lin and Wu Jie will each lead an army of [-] to attack Xianzhou and Jeju. I am worried that Wanyan Sheng will escape in the chaos and return to Huining Mansion. If Jeju is captured, such a Come and cut off their retreat."

"In addition, you have to remember that you don't have to join the army after breaking through Xianzhou, just go directly to Jeju. If we break through Shangjing, we will also go to Jeju at that time, and we will naturally join you. Therefore, Jeju can be said to be the key point, and Zhongjing is guarded by Zhang Jun, Li Xianzhong and others."

"My Majesty, the cold winter season is not far away now, if we attack during the cold winter season, I'm afraid there will be great danger!"

"I know this, so we must take down Shangjing Linhuang Mansion before the cold winter. As for the other nomadic tribes, don't worry about them. Even if they have some troops, their combat effectiveness cannot be compared with our army."

Zhao Gou led the expedition in person and personally took charge of the army. Zhao Yougong was relieved of his position as marshal and returned all power to Zhao Gou.When he arrived in Zhongjing, he hurriedly summoned the generals and informed them of all the details. The purpose this time was to besiege Shangjing and make Wanyan Sheng surrender.

Han Shizhong first led a large army to the north. When they arrived in Shuizhou, they encountered stubborn resistance, but it took half a month to completely break through.When the news of the fall of Shuizhou reached Wanyan Zongwang, he knew that the Song army was not far from Shangjing.

Wanyan Sheng led an army of [-] Wanyan troops to leave Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing and fled to Huining Mansion. Few people knew about it.Therefore, Wanyan Zongwang arranged everything secretly, pretending that Wanyan Sheng was still in the capital, and attracted all the troops of the Song Army.

Wanyan Zongwang was not a fool either, he also knew that this matter would not be concealed for long, so he found a replacement from the royal family who was similar in appearance and figure to Wanyan Sheng, and Li Daitao froze.Han Shizhong broke through Shuizhou, and Zhao Gou led an army to join them.

After the Song army rested for a few days, they marched again and went straight to Shangjing.Wanyan Zongwang assembled all the troops in Shangjing and decided to use this battle to determine the survival of the Jin Dynasty.If Shangjing falls, Wanyan Zong sees clearly that the Jin Dynasty is not far from being destroyed!

This time, the army of the Jin Dynasty was 30, which was the combined strength of the Shangjing Road Army and various tribes, while the strength of the Song Army was only more than [-].However, the commander in chief of the Song Army was Zhao Gou, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and his prestige was even stronger than that of Yue Fei.

At the beginning, Wanyan Zongwang led 20 troops to confront the Song army. As long as he broke through Gubeikou, the Jin soldiers could enter the territory of the Song Dynasty without any scruples. However, he encountered the stubborn resistance of the Song army led by Zhao Gou. The war also caused him to suffer heavy injuries, and his body was not as good as before.

The news of the Song Dynasty emperor’s personal conquest has already been verified by the Jin people. Wanyan Zong hopes to pass on the order that as long as the Song army attacks Shangjing, no matter what price they pay, they must stop their steps. And he ordered an army of 3 people to attack with all their strength. Where Zhao Gou is.

As long as the emperor Zhao Gou is killed, the morale of the Song army will plummet, and the victory will naturally be won.Wanyan Zongwang's calculation was very good, Zhao Gou is not a fool, he knows that after the imperial conquest, he will definitely become the main target of the enemy army, he is not wearing a dragon robe, it is not a war at all, but wearing ordinary generals armor, fully armed.

The cold moon blade in Zhao Gou's hand is a precious sword. With this sword in hand, ordinary people can't rely on his surroundings. In addition, Song Jun will do his best to protect it.Half a month later, the Song army arrived at Qingzhou, and the soldiers came to the city and surrounded them. Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, and Gao Chong were the vanguard generals of this battle.

"Report to the general, the army of the Song Dynasty has arrived and has surrounded Qingzhou city!"

Wanyan Zongwang nodded expressionlessly and frowned. He knew that Song Jun came quickly, and he never thought it would be so fast.When he stood on the city wall and overlooked the army of the Song Dynasty, he didn't see any fatigue in them. You must know that the Song army had gone through several battles, and the situation was very tragic. This made him doubt whether the Song people were using tricks.

"Yue Fei is here, hurry up and die!"

"Gao Chong is here, hurry up and come down and fight me, could it be that you are afraid? Haha!"

Wanyan Zongwang didn't immediately open the city gate to fight the Song army, and he couldn't hold out. He was delaying time, giving Wanyan Sheng time to return to Huining Mansion.Yue Fei, Liu Guangshi, Gao Chong, and Han Shizhong kept shouting in front of the city gate every day, constantly stimulating Wanyan Zongwang and forcing him to open the city gate to fight the Song army.

As far as the strength of the two countries is concerned, the strength of the Song army is nothing compared to the strength of the Jin Dynasty. Even if the Song army's combat effectiveness is amazing, it is impossible to truly defeat ten against one on the battlefield. This is the strategy Zhao Gou used , Let the 30 troops of the Jin Dynasty become a decoration, so that they dare not come out.

Therefore, they went to call for battle, which was also a way to attack the morale of the Jin soldiers. After constant shouting, the Jin soldiers were a little frustrated, and some even feared the Song army.It just so happened that Wanyan Zongwang was trying to delay time, so he couldn't say anything, which also made Zhao Gou's strategy succeed.

The Song army fought outside the city gate for seven days, and Zhao Gou decided that if he did not leave the city again, he would attack by force.If it drags on, the cold winter season is approaching, and it is not suitable to use soldiers at all. In the season of heavy snow, one should preserve one's strength.When Zhao Gou was preparing to attack by force in a few days, the guards of the Jin soldiers opened the city gates to fight the Song army.

Wanyan Zongwang counted the time, Wanyan Sheng should arrive at Huining Mansion, take precautions, and saw that the morale of his own soldiers plummeted, and they would lose without a fight if this continues.Therefore, Wanyan Zongwang decided to make a final decision on this day, and he assembled all 30 troops.

"Song Jun, don't be arrogant, let's see if you die or I die!" Wanyan Zongwang held back his anger and shouted: "Kill!"

Zhao Gou also ordered to attack, and the soldiers from both sides fought together again. Wanyan Zongwang sent another 3 troops to besiege Zhao Gou, intending to kill him and solve the immediate crisis.It's a pity that he overestimated the combat effectiveness of his own soldiers and underestimated Zhao Gou's resourcefulness.

When 3 people attacked, they were ambushed by a group of troops led by Yang Yizhong before they arrived. The 3 people quickly killed thousands of people, and the rest were also frightened. There was no formation or morale. Infinite fear emerged in my heart, and I fled in despair.

Zhao Gou ordered the pursuit again, there was a lot of fighting, and the two armies fought together again!
"The Jin Dynasty is really about to perish!"

Wanyan Zongwang led the Jin soldiers to fight the Song army. The more the Song army fought, the more courageous they became, and their morale was greatly boosted. Not to mention the low morale of their own side, the more they fought, the more cowardly they became. Some soldiers even stopped fighting and ran away, or surrendered. The time fell apart, and the combat power was not as good as the more than [-] soldiers of the Song Army. This made Wanyan Zongwang feel bitter, as if he had seen the future of the Jin Dynasty, his heart was very lost, and he was a little helpless. His heart was empty like never before, and he watched the Song army's unilateral attack in a dull manner, while his own soldiers fled or surrendered blindly.
