Li Er of the Tang Dynasty: Ancestor Xie is here!

I don’t know what Li Xiuning and Li Qingzhao said, but Li Qingzhao stayed at Li Qing’s house and refused to leave.

Sometimes Li Qing doesn't quite understand the thoughts of his good sister, why she always spares no effort to get women into his house.

Li Qing couldn't interfere with the brain growing inside someone else's head. After all, this was Li Xiuning's freedom.

After returning from the Zhezong Dynasty, Li Qing began to prepare to go to the period of Song Qinzong Zhao Huan.

Song Huizong was not in a hurry. After all, the Jingkang Dynasty did not belong to his year, so this was not a top priority for him.

I heard that during the Jingkang period, everyone planned to come over to help out, even Li Longxu was no exception.

After all, the Kingdom of Jin and the Kingdom of Liao also have enmity, so it's not surprising that Li Longxu wanted to help.

A division of the Qin army was seconded from the Yingzheng Office, and the commander was Wang Jian; Liu Bang also sent an army, led by Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin. Liu Bei sent Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and also brought a division with him.

Li Shimin also mobilized a division of Tiance Army. Li Xiaosan summoned a group of Hu soldiers and winked and said it was of great use.

Lao Zhu also sent an army to support. No matter who was fighting the Jurchens, he, Lao Zhu, would help.

As a result, at midnight that day, Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan entered the palace overnight and persuaded Zhao Huan to escape.

Once we leave, there will be no hope of taking back the land in the north.

It won't do if you don't stay. Once the emperor runs away, the morale in the capital will immediately collapse.

Li Gang replied: "Although Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan may not be familiar with military affairs, as prime ministers, it is their duty to comfort the soldiers and resist the Jin soldiers."

It seems that we in the Song Dynasty still have loyal ministers!

It is possible to deceive others, but it is really impossible to deceive Li Gang. Li Gang is a smarter person. You can know what they are thinking without guessing.

After Zhao Huan ascended the throne, Zhao Ji's first reaction was to sneak out of Tokyo city. His legs and feet were very nimble. He jumped like a mouse along the way, first to Bozhou and then to Zhenjiang, with a speed that was as fast as that of Western reporters.

When the troops approached the city, Zhao Ji took the hand of Cai Jing's eldest son and Privy Councilor Cai You in horror and said, "I never thought the Jin army would dare to march straight in like this!"

Zhao Huan had no choice but to temporarily appease Li Gang and say that he would not run away. He said to Li Gang: "I now accept your request to stay. You are fully responsible for commanding the troops and defending against the enemy. You must not be negligent in the slightest."

In fact, Zhao Huan also wanted to run away, but was caught by Li Gang.

As a result, Zhao Huan became the emperor of the Song Dynasty reluctantly and without explanation.

Li Gang rushed forward, grabbed Zhao Huan's sleeve, kowtowed to him while weeping, and threatened death to retain Zhao Huan.

Li Gang was so angry that he just ran away. Do you want to restore the morale of the military and the people in this city?

Unexpectedly, Li Gang was actually happy because he was waiting for Bai Shizhong to say this. After hearing this, he immediately faced Zhao Huan and said firmly: "Your Majesty does not think that I am cowardly and incompetent. You have put me in charge of military affairs. I am willing to die in retribution!"

In the second year of Jingkang, Bianliang.

As a result, just after the appointment was completed, the chamberlain came to inform the queen that Zhu Lian had packed his luggage and could run south together as soon as the official family arrived.

As for Zhao Kuangyin at home...he brought out three front armies, and they had to be wiped out by the Kingdom of Jin from the ground up. The eggs had to be shaken to pieces, and the earthworms had to be split in half vertically!

After realizing this truth, Zhao Huan felt guilty and never mentioned escaping again.

Li Gang immediately retorted to the two men and said: "Which city in the world can be as strong as the capital? Moreover, the ancestral temple, the government, hundreds of officials, and all the people are here, how can we throw it away! Today's plan is to rectify the army and horses, unite the army and the people, hold on to the capital, and wait. The teacher of King Qin.”

Originally, he wanted to call it the Eight-Nation Allied Forces, but Li Qing didn't think it was very auspicious, so he just didn't name it.

Zhao Huan was silent for a moment and asked: "Who can be the commander-in-chief and command the resistance against the Jin Dynasty?"

Therefore, Zhao Huan appointed Li Gang to stay in Tokyo and be responsible for defending Tokyo against the Jin army.

But after all, he is a minister, so he can't overstep his authority no matter what.

Under the guidance of military art, the troops of the six countries, totaling 300,000 people, marched toward the Jingkang period in a mighty manner.

……

Hearing Li Gang's words, Zhao Huan was greatly moved.

After the chamberlain presented the paper and pen, Zhao Ji wrote: "The crown prince can assume the throne of emperor."

The current emperor is named Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan immediately became anxious, I won’t pretend anymore, I’m going to run away, I’m going to show off my cards!

In fact, his ascension to the throne was a complete accident, and he ascended the throne unwillingly, and it is difficult to find a few examples of this over the past five thousand years.

As he spoke, his acting skills came up, and he suddenly became breathless and fell into coma, falling under the bed with a plop.

"Emperor Daojun conferred the clan to your majesty, but you plan to abandon it. Is this good? This is not good! I advise your majesty to think carefully about it!"

Even Chai Rong, after hearing what Jin had done, not only gave Zhao Kuangyin a good beating, but also sent two troops to help.

He immediately decided that it was getting late now and he would set off as soon as it dawned tomorrow morning.

The ministers quickly gave him medicine and first aid. Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, came to his senses, pretended not to be rude, and reached out for paper and pen.

Zhao Huan raised his butt as he spoke and prepared to run away.

"I can't stay here! Please don't wait for me, I will set off with the Queen!"

When his name was called by Li Gang, Bai Shizhong was very angry. He flicked his sleeves and said angrily: "Then Li Gang, can't you lead your troops to fight?"

Zhao Huan originally didn't want to stay in the dangerous capital for even one more day, but now someone advised him that if there was such a big step, he would have to climb down the hill.

However, Prime Minister Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan said that the capital could not be defended, so they had to go south to temporarily avoid the Jin army's advance, and when the time came, they would go north to attack, which would be a rebellion.

In October of the seventh year of Xuanhe, after the Jin State destroyed the Liao State, they saw the fact that the Song Dynasty was weak and was not satisfied with the status quo. So under the instigation of the generals, the Jin State divided its troops into two groups and went south to attack the Song Dynasty. They drove all the way straight into Bianliang, the capital of the Song Dynasty, as if they were in an uninhabited country.

As a result, Li Gang's heart was pounding the next morning. He felt bad, so he got up early and ran to the palace, where he happened to see Zhao Huan's driving.

Li Gang was so worried that he couldn't help but think about it. I tried to persuade you all night yesterday, but you still didn't listen to a word. You just thought about it, right?

He rushed forward without asking the emperor. He knew whether the emperor was useful now, so he directly asked the imperial guards: "Are you willing to stay and guard your wife, children, and children, or are you willing to escape with the emperor?"

He is a bitch here. He doesn't use the fake ancestral temple and the country as an example, but only his wife, children, and young children. Sure enough, the imperial guards immediately replied: "My parents, wives and children are all in the capital, and we are willing to defend to the death!"

Zhao Huan sat on the carriage, his head buzzing.

It's over, it's all fucking over.

Li Gang immediately stepped forward and said to Zhao Huan: "Your Majesty has promised to stay, so why are you suddenly setting off again? The parents and wives of the Sixth Army are all here, and they are willing to defend the city to the death. Your Majesty forces them to escort them away, in case they disperse and return to the capital midway. Who will protect your majesty? Besides, the Jin soldiers are already very close. I know that the chariot has not gone far yet. How can I resist it if I use my strong horse to chase him?"

Whether you should speak or not, when it comes to the art of speaking, you still have to look at Li Gang.

There was no need for any great reasoning, just a sentence of "If a horse comes to chase", Zhao Huan's brain felt like it was exploding.

He immediately ordered the queen to be recalled and ordered Li Gang to stabilize people's hearts.

Li Gang immediately told the soldiers and civilians: "The Holy One has made up his mind and is determined to defend the city. Anyone who dares to talk about leaving the capital and disturbing people's hearts will be killed!"

As soon as the Six Imperial Guards heard the emperor's intention to stay and defend, and vowed to live and die with the capital, they all knelt on the ground and shouted "Long live!"

Facts have proved that Li Gang is indeed very capable. Under his command, Bianjing City was guarded like an iron barrel, and the Jin soldiers were unable to do anything.

Since he couldn't beat him head-on, Jin Ren began to think of a way.

Regarding the cowardice of the Song Dynasty emperor, the Jin people knew better than anyone else.

Li Gang defended the city and fought bloody battles. Privately in the palace, Zhao Huan followed the advice of the capitulation faction and prepared to send envoys to Jinying to discuss ceding territory and suing for peace.

As a result, the envoy met the envoy of the Jin Army as soon as he left the city gate.

I thought of going together.

The envoy was unwilling to go to the Jin Army camp, so this would be enough reason to return to the city.

So he took the people back to the city.

The envoy from the Jin Army was very talkative, which probably meant that Zhao Ji had already reached the Zen throne. We have no grudge against you. If you pay some money, we will let you go. Zhao Huan was overjoyed when he heard this. If he could settle the matter with money, how could it still be called a problem?

Therefore, he planned to send Privy Council envoy Li Chao to the Jin army camp.

After the envoys who went to Jinying to negotiate peace were confirmed, the ministers all retreated, except Li Gang.

He asked Zhao Huan why he did not send himself as an envoy to Jinying. Zhao Huan replied: "Your character is upright. It is not appropriate for you to go to negotiate peace."

Li Gang said: "The Jin army is about to attack the city, and King Qin's army has not arrived. It is okay to negotiate for peace temporarily. But the terms of the peace must be appropriate. Otherwise, it will cause disaster, and the safety of the clan will be in danger. Li Chu is cowardly, and I am afraid that there is something wrong. State affairs. The enemy is greedy and will inevitably put forward very harsh terms. As long as the court takes appropriate measures, the enemy will retreat. If the court is forced by the power of the Jin army and agrees to all their demands, the Jin army will despise us, which will cause trouble in the future. endless."

Zhao Huan refused to listen and still asked Li Chao to go to Jinying as an envoy.

Sure enough, when Li Chao arrived at the Jin camp and was threatened by the Jin army, he was so frightened that he did not dare to say anything. He only took back the peace terms proposed by the Jin army.

1. Give the Jin army five million taels of gold, fifty million taels of silver, 10,000 cattle and horses, and one million pieces of silk.

2. Address Jin Emperor as uncle.

3. Cut the three towns of Taiyuan, Zhongshan and Hejian.

4. Send the prime minister and prince to the Jin camp as hostages and send the Jin army across the Yellow River.

Li Bangyan and other surrender factions tried their best to persuade Zhao Huan to accept these terms. However, the treasury was already empty. Where could there be so much gold and silver? So Zhao Huan had no choice but to order a search in the capital, which made every family uneasy, everyone frightened, the whole city was in chaos, and the government and the public were noisy.

However, among the officials, only Li Gang firmly opposed these conditions. He said angrily: "The gold and silk demanded by the Jin army can't be satisfied even if all the wealth in the world is satisfied. How can one capital be enough? The three towns are the country's barrier. If they are ceded to the Jin army, how can we establish a country?"

"As for the hostages, the prime minister can go, but the prince cannot go! We should send eloquent people to discuss the conditions with the Jin army and explain what can be agreed to and what cannot be agreed to. As long as we talk for a few days to delay the time, King Qin's army will arrive . Although the terms proposed by Jin Jun cannot be realized at that time, he will have to retreat quickly. If we sign a contract with him again, he will not dare to despise us, and the peaceful situation will last forever!"

It should be said that Li Gang is the one who understands the current situation the most, but he is the only one who understands it, but it has no effect at all.

Li Gang, Li Bangyan and others argued repeatedly and fiercely in front of the emperor, almost making people think they were stupid, but Zhao Huan remained silent.

Seeing this scene, Li Gang could only sigh and submit his resignation.

Zhao Huan saw that Li Gang couldn't stand it anymore, so he immediately comforted him and said: "You will go out to command the military first, and we will discuss this matter slowly."

As a result, as soon as Li Gang withdrew, Zhao Huan agreed to all Jin Jun's conditions.

It's hard to imagine what Li Gang was going through when he found out about this matter. Anyway, if this matter were to be dealt with by ordinary people, it would be hard to get rid of it.

Sometimes when I lose a game, I always feel that my teammates are not doing their best.

What does it feel like? You are playing as a mid laner and fighting the opponent back and forth. You huddle on the high ground and see that the opponent cannot fight down and retreat. As a result, your teammates surrender first.

The most uncomfortable thing is that reinforcements from various places have arrived in Kaifeng one after another. There are more than 200,000 people in total, and the Jin army has less than 60,000. The troops commanded by Li Gang fought back and forth with the Jin army. As a result, when he had a slight upper hand, Zhao Huan gave the money to him!
In February, after receiving the money, the Jin army withdrew to the north.

According to Jin Jun, he is very satisfied with the amount of compensation. But in fact, the Jin Army knew that it could not continue the fight. If the fight continued, all 60,000 people would be consumed by the opponent.

After the Jin army retreated, Zhao Huan quickly dismissed Li Gang.

How is it? Does it sound familiar?

The charges were even more difficult to accuse. Zhao Huan gave him two charges of "specializing in war discussions" and "losing teachers and wasting money", and demoted him and moved him to the south.

Anyone with a normal brain circuit would not think that these two charges could be pinned on Li Gang.

But the emperor of my Da Bian Dynasty is different. An ordinary traitor... No, an ordinary idiot really can't do such a brain-destroying thing.

They could have taken a breather, but in August, the Jin army marched south again.

The Jin army took Wanyan Zonghan as the deputy marshal on the left and Wanyan Zongwang as the deputy marshal on the right, and marched southward in two directions: east and west.

In early September, the Jin army led by Wanyan Zonghan captured Taiyuan.

When the left deputy marshal Wanyan Zonghan of the Jin Army heard that Li Gang, whom he feared, had been dismissed, he agreed with the right deputy marshal Wanyan Zongwang to join forces and go south to capture Zhending Mansion in early October.

Soon, the Jin Army's West Route Jin Army led by Wanyan Zonghan, the left deputy commander of the Jin Army, once again invaded the south in a large scale. Once again, they were unstoppable along the way. They encountered little effective resistance and went straight to Kaifeng.
