Chapter 337 0334 [The Golden Man Goes South]

In the land of Yanyun, there are scouts from the Qingzhou Army, and naturally there is also the Imperial City Division of Zhao Song.

It's just that compared to the past, today's Imperial City Division has long been corrupted.

As for the Boy's Army, Zhao Er disappeared after he came to power.

When Song Huizong heard the news, it was already ten days later. He was so shocked that he immediately summoned his ministers to discuss countermeasures.

At this time, a censor stepped out of the queue and said loudly: "Tong Guan holds a high position and important position, but his body is sitting on a plain diet, which has caused the Jin Kingdom to cut off trade routes. I ask your majesty to punish Tong Guan!"

"My minister agrees!"

"Wei Chen agrees!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was immediately echoed by several officials.

Don't they know the intention of the Jin people to cut off trade routes and send troops to guard official passes?

of course I know.

But knowing that they know does not prevent them from taking the opportunity to impeach Tong Guan.

The Jin people just went south to plunder, no different from the grass-tripping valleys of the former Liao Dynasty. Could it be possible that they could still destroy the Song Dynasty?

Song Huizong was unhappy because he didn't have many people he could use now. Liang Fangping's performance in suppressing the rebellion in Shandong made him feel that Tong Guan was still more reliable.

He originally planned to crown Tong Guan the king this year, but when he saw someone impeaching him, Song Huizong immediately became gloomy.

When Cai You saw it, he couldn't help but understand it and scolded: "Now that the enemy is in front of you, you don't want to serve the country, but you still slander important ministers. You are the same party and oppose different people. Why don't you retreat quickly!"

Song Huizong glanced at Cai You appreciatively.

Sun Fu took a step forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the golden man is ambitious and will go south. We should make the border strong and clear the country and prepare for war in advance. In addition, your Majesty can send a letter to let the Korean thieves prepare early."

"Not bad!"

Song Huizong nodded, and then asked: "Does Sun Aiqing know when the Jin people will send troops?"

Hearing this, Sun Fu muttered: "The soldiers and horses have not moved yet, but food and grass go first. It takes at least three to five months to prepare for a large army to travel. Moreover, the Jin people have been conquering every year, resulting in insufficient food and grass. Now that spring has just begun, I feel that the Jin people It should be chosen after the summer harvest.”

Li Bangyan, who had been silent all this time, jumped out to express his presence: "What Sun Shangshu said is reasonable, and I think so too."

Among the crowd, Li Gang frowned slightly and was about to speak, but was stopped by Sun Fu's look.

After the dynasty dispersed and all the way out of the hall, Li Gang couldn't help but said: "Why did Sun Shangshu say this just now? The Jin people went south to plunder because of the lack of food. They originally saved food for the enemy." How can you prepare your mind for three to five months?"

"I know."

Sun Fu said unhurriedly.

Li Gang was stunned and frowned: "Then why..."

Before he finished speaking, Sun Fu interrupted: "Not only do I know, but Governor Wu and others also know. But if the situation is not urgent, how can the officials agree to us?"

Li Gang worriedly said: "This... Sun Shangshu is not afraid of causing disaster?"

Sun Fu confidently said: "There are Korean bandits in Hebei, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops stationed there. Taiyuan is located in a pass, and the five northwest routes can provide support at any time. What can go wrong?"

Li Gang remained silent. He admitted that what the other party said made sense, but he still felt uneasy in his heart.

The Liao people are already very brave, but now the Jin people are coming who are more ruthless and barbaric than the Liao people. Can they really stop them?

……

After Yanjing Mansion learned that the Jin people had cut off trade routes and cut off all contacts, Tong Guan immediately panicked and immediately sent Xin Xingzong and Ma Kuo to test the Jin people's intentions in the name of a visit.

A few days later, Xin Xingzong and Ma Kuo came back and brought back the Jin envoys.

Tong Guan entertained the Jin envoys warmly and asked cautiously during the dinner: "Why is the Jin doing this?"

"Humph!"

A trace of contempt flashed in the eyes of the Jin envoy, and he accused: "Why did the Song Dynasty take Zhang Jue in? Don't you know that Zhang Jue is a traitor to our Jin country?"

"This……"

Seeing that the other party was starting to settle old scores, Tong Guan laughed sarcastically: "The officials in the court were temporarily deceived by Zhang Jue, and your Majesty punished them afterwards."

"We, the Kingdom of Jin, kept our promises, but you and others went back on your word. His Majesty was furious and decided to declare war on the Kingdom of Song!"

The Jin envoy said, taking out the letter of war from his arms and handing it over.

declare war?

Tong Guan was horrified and said quietly: "This... such a big thing, why didn't you tell me first?"

Seeing that Tong Guan did not accept the letter of war for a long time, the Jin envoy sneered in his heart, but on his face he persuaded: "If you don't want to start a war, that's fine. You need to cede the land of the two rivers to apologize!"

"No!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Kuo refused.

The two rivers are Hebei and Hedong. Even if Song Huizong was kicked in the head by a donkey, he would not agree.

The Jin envoy turned his head and looked at Ma Kuo fiercely.

Ma Kuo was not afraid and said loudly: "If your country goes to war for no reason, you will surely suffer the consequences."

But Tong Guan was dejected and unable to deal with it.

Seeing this, the Jin envoy dropped his letter of war and left angrily.

Before leaving, he left a cruel message: "Next time you come back, it will be my army from the Kingdom of Jin!"

After the other party left, Tong Guan said in a reproachful tone: "How could you speak like this? Now that you have offended the Jin envoy, what should you do?"

He actually doesn't care whether the Jin people go south or not.

What he cares about is whether he will be punished by His Majesty.

Ma Kuo retorted: "Tong Guogong's words are wrong. The Jin man has wolf ambitions. It is a foregone conclusion that he will go south. Even if he fails today, he will definitely find other excuses tomorrow. The urgent task now is to strengthen the wall and clear the country, and reorganize the army to face the war."

"No need to say more, I have my own plan."

Tong Guan waved his hands irritably, already thinking of running away.

……

…    March 29th is a good time to travel but avoid getting married.

On this day, the Jin people showed their sharp fangs and claws, and brazenly went south to attack the Song Dynasty and invaded the Central Plains on the grounds that Zhao and Song Dynasties had betrayed their alliance and took in the traitor Zhang Jue of the Jin Kingdom.

The Jin army was divided into two groups: east and west.

The West Route Army was commanded by Wanyan Zonghan and led an army of 60,000. It set out from Datong, Xijing, and entered Daizhou in Zhao and Song Dynasties via Shuozhou.

Ning Huajun learned the news and went to intercept it.

The two sides fought in Chenjiagu, Shuozhou, and the Song army collapsed at the first touch.

Wanyan Zonghan led the army, as if entering uninhabited territory, captured Daizhou in three days, defeated Xinzhou in five days, and approached Taiyuan.

Zhang Xiaochun, the prefect of Taiyuan, while fortifying the city and clearing the countryside, wrote to the imperial court for help.

Wanyan Zonghan arrived in Taiyuan on April 15th with great momentum.

What greeted him was Wang Zhen, the commander of the Xuanfu Division, and his three thousand victorious troops.

If there is any army in the entire Zhao and Song Dynasties that can fight, apart from the Western Army, only the Shengjie Army is left.

Although the Shengjie Army was small in number, they were carefully selected elites among the 100,000 forbidden troops, and the commander Wang Zhen was also a strong general. As soon as the two sides fought, Wanyan Zonghan suffered a heavy loss.

The East Route Army on the other side was led by Wanyan Zongwang, with the same strength of 60,000.

Send troops from Zhongjing and march directly into Yanyun.

After learning the news of the Jin soldiers' attack, Tong Guan did not hesitate at all and immediately prepared to abandon the city and escape.

After hearing the news, Ma Kuo blocked Tong Guan's path and urged: "Now that the golden soldiers are coming, Tong Guogong should stay and take charge of the overall situation. How can he abandon the city? If the coach leaves his post without authorization, it will definitely affect Yan. The morale of the capital and the people’s support are great.”

Who would have thought that Tong Guan would angrily rebuke: "My Lord was appointed as the governor, not to defend the territory. You must keep me, so what's the use of having a general? Get out of the way quickly, otherwise don't blame my Lord for being unkind." !”

Ma Kuo laughed miserably and retreated to the roadside.

Seeing this, Tong Guan hurriedly ordered the driver to drive. Under the escort of his favorite general Xin Xingzong, he left Yanjing City and went straight to Kaifeng Mansion.

On the fourth day of April, Wanyanlou defeated Chanzhou.

On the eighth day of April, Wanyan's mother took Jizhou.

On April 14, Wanyan Zongwang personally led an army of 50,000 to fight against Guo Yaoshi's 45,000 victorious army in Baihe.

Guo Yaoshi was also a strong general, but because of Zhang Jue's incident, he harbored resentment towards Zhao Song.

In addition, Tong Guan abandoned the city and fled, and he had no intention of fighting at all.

The two sides fought, and the victorious army collapsed at the first touch.

Guo Yaoshi led his victorious army and surrendered to the Kingdom of Jin.

On the same day, Jin Wushu led 10,000 troops to kill 3,000 Song soldiers at the Gubeikou formation and captured more than 10,000 soldiers.

At this point, the defense line established by Zhao Song in Yanyun Land was completely penetrated.

The remaining Yanjing City is just fish and meat on the chopping board.

The news reached Kaifeng Mansion, and the government and the public were shocked for a while.

The combat power displayed by the Jin people can simply be described as terrifying. The two armies, one in the east and one in the west, were as powerful as a broken bamboo, as if they were in an uninhabited land.

In the main hall, Song Huizong looked pale.

The ministers in the palace all looked frightened. Even Wu Min, Sun Fu and others were frightened.

They knew that the Jin people were tough, but they didn't expect that the Song army was so weak.

The only thing that comforted the kings and ministers of Zhao Song was the hundreds of thousands of troops stationed around Kaifeng Mansion.

Song Huizong asked: "My dear friends, what should we do now?"

Wu Min said: "Your Majesty can order the northwest frontier army to go to Taiyuan to help, and at the same time ask Zhang Shuye to urge the Korean thieves to send troops."

"exactly."

Song Huizong was overjoyed, as if grasping a life-saving straw, and hurriedly ordered: "According to my decree, order Yao Gu, Zhong Shizhong, Zhe Kecuo, Zhe Keqiu to immediately lead the army to Taiyuan. Let Zhang Shuye be delivered to Han as soon as possible. The thieves sent out troops with as much food, grass and baggage as possible."

After giving these instructions, he was still a little worried and continued: "I ordered Master Zhong to lead an army of ten thousand to the capital to defend the capital, and then ordered Liu Yanqing to lead an army north to King Qin!"

……

……

After receiving the order, Zhang Shuye happily delivered 200,000 stones of food and grass.

In his view, the situation was critical now, and the Qingzhou Army under Han Zhen was so brave that it would be great if they could send troops to stop the Jin soldiers.

It would be better if both sides suffered losses in a fight with the Jin people, and he could take advantage of the situation and send troops to regain the land of Shandong.

At this time, Han Zhen, who was far away in Yidu, was wearing black light armor with gold dragon patterns, sitting in the White Tiger Hall of the military camp, and issuing orders one after another.

"Order Nie Dong to lead the army ahead and march lightly into battle. They must arrive at Xiongzhou within seven days."

"Order the navy to set off immediately and transport the grain, grass and baggage to Nigu Haikou within ten days."

"Order Liu Qi to organize the army..."

Three hours later, Han Zhen stood up and said, "I'll leave the logistics to you!"

"The county magistrate is generous, and I will do my best to live up to your kindness!"

Shi Wenhui responded affectionately and sincerely.

"Ok!"

Han Zhen nodded and strode out of the White Tiger Hall with a horse in his hand.

On the school grounds, five thousand cavalry and five thousand infantry were ready to go.

Han Zhen didn't talk nonsense. After getting on his horse, he waved his hand.

"Go out and defeat the enemy!"
