Reborn Wu Dalang

Chapter 589 Defending the Yellow River

Prince Zhao Huan was originally in the East Palace. When Song Huizong "fainted", someone had already informed Zhao Huan!After Zhao Huan heard about it, he was taken aback, and hurried towards the palace hall, but before he came to the hall, a group of eunuchs had already greeted him, and the group of eunuchs knelt down on the ground and said in unison: "See Your Majesty! "

Zhao Huan stayed there for a while, and after a while, he hurriedly waved his hands and said, "What are you doing? I am the crown prince, not your majesty! Are you trying to trap me in injustice?"

At this moment, a chief eunuch hurriedly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, just now, the Supreme Emperor has announced his abdication, and you are now the emperor!"

"what?"

Zhao Huan was stunned again!He froze for a moment, ignored the group of eunuchs below, and ran towards the main hall with big strides!When he came to the main hall, Song Huizong hadn't left yet. Zhao Huan rushed to the dragon chair, knelt down on the ground, and said, "Father, this throne, I will never dare to accept it!"

Song Huizong didn't expect Zhao Huan to come so quickly, he frowned and said: "If you don't accept it, you will be unfilial!"

Zhao Huan said: "If my son accepts it, he will be unfilial!"

Song Huizong persuaded him for a while, but Prince Zhao Huan has now regarded the throne as a hot potato, and he is unwilling to accept the throne!Song Huizong had no choice, he waved his hand, several guards suddenly rushed up, picked up Zhao Huan and left!

Zhao Huan was sent to the Palace of Funing, and countless ministers followed him to the Palace of Funing!Zhao Huan struggled desperately, unwilling to be the emperor, but the ministers had already knelt down one after another, Zhao Huan passed out, but he was still the emperor!

In this way, Zhao Huan, the ninth emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, succeeded to the throne, and he was Song Qinzong in history!

When Song Qinzong woke up again, looking at the officials below, he suddenly felt like crying without tears!

After a long time, Song Qinzong said: "Where did the Taishi and Taiwei go?"

The ministers below were silent for a moment, and after a while, a minister said: "Your Majesty, the Taishi, Taiwei, Lord Liang, Lord Yang and others are all taking care of the Supreme Emperor. Visit download txt novel"

Song Qinzong was furious. He knew that these people must want to escape with Song Huizong, and they didn't want to stay in Bianliang, so they didn't want to meet him, the new emperor.

"You all talk about it, how should we resist the Liangshan rebels?" After a while, Song Qinzong calmed down and said hastily.

The ministers were still silent, and after a while, Zhao Ding finally stood up and said, "Your Majesty, for the present plan, we should first issue an order to make the whole country serve the king, and second, we must defend the Yellow River and prevent the bandits from crossing the river." Yellow River! There are still 40 forbidden troops in Bianliang City, so many forbidden troops are enough to defend the Yellow River!"

Song Qinzong nodded, and after a while, he had doubts again, and said, "Who can command the Imperial Army if the Taiwei is not here?"

Zhao Dingdao: "Tan Zhen, the governor of the mighty army, can be ordered to command the forbidden army to defend the Yellow River! I have been thinking about this issue these days, and the key point of defending the Yellow River is Li Yang! If we can hold here, Bianliang will definitely not be in danger!"

Tan Zhen, the military governor, was actually an eunuch. The armed eunuchs of the Song Dynasty were very famous in history. In this era, besides Tong Guan, who was the supervisor of the Northwest Army, this Tan Zhen was the supervisor of the Imperial Army!It's just because the Forbidden Army is far inferior to the Western Army, and because the Forbidden Army has Gao Qiu as a favorite, Tan Zhen's reputation is far inferior to Tong Guan.

And the reason why Zhao Ding suggested that the imperial army should focus on defending Liyang is because Liyang is one of the most important places south of the Yellow River.The battle of Fangcheng in Fu Jian's Northern Expedition, the defeat of Yuan Tan, the son of Yuan Shao in the Three Kingdoms period, the defeat of Liyang, Guan Yu warming wine and killing Hua Xiong, the bag formation of Liu Deng's army in modern times, etc. all happened here!Since ancient times, this place has been a battleground for military strategists. If you keep here, you will keep the fortress of the Yellow River!

After Song Qinzong heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Everything depends on Aiqing! The country is in danger, and only Aiqing can give some advice!"

After thinking about it, he decided to appoint Zhao Ding as the privy envoy!Originally the privy envoy was Tong Guan, but Tong Guan is now in the northwest, so he can't quench his thirst from far away, and all the ministers in front of him are silent, only Zhao Ding speaks, Song Qinzong decided to reward Zhao Ding well, not to mention that.

On June 40, Tan Zhen led [-] forbidden troops to Liyang. On June [-], the army entered Liyang!

When Tan Zhen was in Bianliang City, although he was the supervisor of the Imperial Army, Gao Qiu was with the Imperial Army, so he didn't have much real power at all!And in the palace there are great eunuchs such as Liang Shicheng and Yang Jian, so he is also inferior in the palace!When he came out this time, he felt extremely proud, and felt that this was the happiest time in his life!

As soon as he arrived in Liyang, he called all the generals of the Forbidden Army to his side!

When these imperial generals arrived, Tan Zhen clapped his hands, and someone brought in a jar of fine wine!

"Tan has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and this battle depends on all the brothers in the Imperial Army! These good wines, I have the right to treat you as brothers!" Tan Zhen laughed loudly.

After hearing Tan Zhen's words, the generals of the Forbidden Army were overjoyed, and immediately someone slapped the wine jar away, ready to drink!But there are still people who say: "My lord, Liangshan bandits are about to cross the river. Is it not good for us to eat and drink like this?"

Tan Zhen was furious, and said, "Am I a Shangguan? Or are you a Shangguan? Come on, pull this incomprehensible thing down for me, and hit 50 boards!"

Soon the sound of beating boards and the screams of the generals came from outside. Tan Zhen laughed out loud. He suddenly felt that he had lived in vain before, and now he was really enjoying life!

In the next few days, Tan Zhen invited the generals to eat and drink, and "rectified" the imperial army wantonly!All the generals of the Forbidden Army who offended him in the past were sent to prison, and all the generals who flattered him in the past were "promoted"!The military discipline of the soldiers of the Forbidden Army became even worse, and the entire Liyang City was filled with the sound of people crying!

******

At the end of June, after two months, the order in the north of the Yellow River gradually stabilized, and Liangshan's army began to move here!

Along the Yellow River, countless pontoon bridges were erected, and Liangshan's fourth, fifth, and sixth armies began to cross the Yellow River!Originally, Song Qinzong sent Tan Zhen to defend the banks of the Yellow River. Although Liyang was the main force, he could not give up other places, but Tan Zhen put all his troops in Liyang, and there was no defense at all in other places!When Liangshan crossed the river, he hardly encountered any obstacles!

For hundreds of miles along the Yellow River, pontoon bridges were erected, and hundreds of thousands of infantry and cavalry swarmed forward!After the infantry and cavalry passed by, countless civilian men escorted supplies to follow them!

On July [-], Xiangzhou, an important town south of the Yellow River, was breached!

To the south of Xiangzhou is Liyang!This location is indeed extremely important. Liangshan can only continue southward if it breaks through here!Wu Song has already found out that there are 40 forbidden troops here, and he regards this place as a hard bone in his heart. He has even prepared more than a hundred artillery pieces, ready to bombard Liyang City with artillery!

However, what he didn't know was that after Tan Zhen, who was guarding Liyang, got the news that Xiangzhou had been breached, he actually started shitting in the army!Tan Zhen didn't even have time to wash his body, and immediately fled towards the south with a few soldiers!After hearing the news of Tan Zhen's escape, the rest of the Forbidden Army generals also fled one after another, and the 40 Forbidden Army soldiers also dispersed and fled in all directions!

When Wu Song's Sixth Army arrived, Liyang had turned into an empty city!

At this moment, Han Shizhong has taken 20 cavalry to break through Shangqiu, and marched westward from Shangqiu to Bianliang!Along the way, Han Shizhong no longer paid any attention to the cities and towns along the road, but just rushed towards the road!

When the news of Li Yang's destruction came, Han Shizhong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "The army of the Great Song Dynasty is indeed rotten! These 40 forbidden soldiers are not as good as 1000 Liangshan soldiers! They are certainly far inferior to the Jurchens, Compared with Khitan and Xixia, it is also much worse! If there is no Western Army, I am afraid that the Great Song Dynasty would have perished long ago!"

Liang Hongyu nodded and said, "Husband, I heard that Bianliang City has established a new emperor! I don't know if the siege designated by the military is still effective?"

Han Shizhong smiled and said: "Whether it is the new emperor or the old emperor, as long as he is the emperor, he is the most important figure in the Song Dynasty! We surrounded Bianliang City, and officers and soldiers from all over the Song Dynasty will come to serve the king! Our three group armies 40 Ten thousand people, and the Eighth Army of Hedong 10 people, these many people add up, and slowly clear up the army of Qin King around Bianliang, and finally we will break through Bianliang in one fell swoop and capture the emperor of Song Dynasty!"

In the afternoon of July [-]th, Bianliang City was still peaceful!Although Li Yang has been broken, Bianliang City has not received relevant news yet!

At night, the sound of horseshoes suddenly came from outside Bianliang City. The sound of horseshoes became louder and louder, and gradually the whole Bianliang City was alarmed!

On the morning of July 20th, there were already Liangshan cavalry everywhere outside Bianliang City! [-] cavalry surrounded Bianliang City!
